David Hockney

David Hockney (데이비드 호크니, Deibideu Hokeuni) is a D-rank Scout with remarkable abilities and interesting eyes. He refers to himself as a painter.

History
Hockney first appears when the Hell Train enters the 40th Floor. He had been living on 40th Floor Hell Train station called Mushroom Farm.

He is a native of the Floor of Death. He entered the Tower to reclaim a painting of his own making, the "Red Light", which was stolen from him and which he regards as his own soul. It was subsequently divided into six pieces, five of which he managed to buy back through special auctions reserved for Regulars. He eventually bought the very last piece and expects to obtain it on the Hell Express. Unbeknown to him, it is in the possession of Ha Yura.

Appearance and Personality
Hockney is said to be a boy with mysterious eyes with remarkable abilities. He has light grey skin and silver short hair. He has a blue robe with white fur trim on the edge of the hood with colourful sleeves. He carries a long pole with a lantern attached to the top. Inside the lantern on the bottom is a sculpture of a fish head.

Wangnan
Hockney was seen observing the coming of the Hell Train to the Mushroom Farm station. When it arrived, he left his residence and came to the train's stairs, immobilising two Regulars in the process as they were getting in his way. Sachi Faker was surprised that he was got on board and asked if he had found who he was looking for, with Hockney clarifying that he was actually looking for the final piece of his original painting which was said to be on the train.

He then helped the others pass the final stage tests on the train before getting ready to go to the 43rd Floor.

The Floor of Death
Having finally reached the Floor of Death, he and the others got ready to jump out of the train into the Floor. With Ha Yura and Karaka surprising everyone with their arrival and subsequent exit into the Floor, they all jumped in after them. While passing through the dead Guardian's blood, Baam suddenly fell unconscious and drifted away on another current with Hockney going after him.

Finding themselves separated, Hockney was soon encountered by his old acquaintance Mata inside of a host. Telling Mata of his plans to go to South City to retrieve the last piece of his soul, they were soon confronted by the gatekeeper. Mata's host quickly defeated the gatekeeper with Hockney's help. Travelling to the final gatekeeper's area, Mata told him to stay quiet so he could try and get the two in without them having to give up their souls.

Powers and Abilities
Ha Yura speaks of him as the best Scout among the D-rank Regulars. Sachi Faker also mentions that he has remarkable abilities. While attempting to get on the Hell Train at the stop two Regulars try to stop him, but he easily renders them immobile using his lantern: a red light emits from the lantern and surrounds the two Regulars like giant handcuffs.

Hockney was shown to utilise at least three yellow-coloured Observers.

Special Eyes: Hockney has mysterious eyes with remarkable abilities. Using them, he is able to pre-emptively predict the movements of others.
