Skyler Gailson

Skyler Gailson, also known as Yuushi Gale, is the corky main protagonists from Alex Gailson’s Fan Fiction “Yu-Gi-Oh! CD”

After leaving his home to enroll in Central Duel Academy, Skyler took the alias of Yuushi Gale, which in Japanese means Hero, in the hopes that no one from his cryptic past would find him. His real name is Skyler, since his father is American, which comes from the Dutch word Schuyler, meaning guard or scholar.

Character design
Originally Skyler’s hair war bleach blind, but after he moved to Central Duel Academy he highlighted his hair blue and red. He wears the standard Duel Academy Ra Yellow uniform with a cross that he stitches into the corner at the end of Season 1. He carries an Academy-issued Duel Disk on his left hand.

Biography
So far in the series, little has been revealed about Skyler past, only making obscure references and random flashbacks. After attacking his professor, Syrus Truesdale, Skyler reveals that he is actually a descendent of 1 of 9 Evil Duel Spirits that took control of the Crusaders of Jerusalem over 1000 years ago. He explains that his family had been trying to train him to use and control the Evil Spirit for a purpose that he himself was never made aware. To escape his family and the destiny that they were preparing him for, he dyed his hair, changed his name, and transferred to Central Duel Academy.

Personality
Skyler started out a little nervous when he came to the Academy, but quickly warmed up when he made friends with Taikerou Mana and Kira Monos, making an almost 180 degree transformation. He’s a little naive and doesn’t seem to have a lot of common sense, leading him to make silly and sometimes rash decisions. This, however, does not apply to his Dueling strategy. Skyler seems to have a deep connection to each and everyone of his card, understanding the complexities of how they can and should be used. The main reason that he does not apply this to his academics is someone a mystery. It can’t be laziness, since Skyler is extremely physically fit, waking up early in the morning and running around the entire island before class. One aspect of Skyler’s personality is his amazing powers of ambiguity and being comfortable with his sexuality. Throughout the series, he makes advances on Taikerou and Kira, also making crude comments that call into question his sexuality, yet he says himself that he “prefers girls”. The character is designed to make you unsure.

Deck
Skyler uses a Crusader Deck, which are LIGHT and EARTH Warrior-Type monsters that vary in abilities but lean towards removing cards from the Graveyard from play.
