Appearance: Kurokon has a thin body, but not even a little feminine. His arms and legs are long, his chest and abdomen seem to fit the archetype that a masculine body would be, being almost triangular in shape. His shoulders are broader than his abdomen, but not overly so. He is of above average height for adults, at 6'2"

Kurokon has an aristocratic face, with sharp features. He usually has his hair swept back in spikes. When he speaks, his mouth moves very little. His eyes are a gray-blue color, often changing between the two depending on the light. His hair is thick and white, spiked backwards.

The most known feature about Kuro is his attire. He wears a special mask, meant only to cover his face, and to look damn good. He often wears a red robe, with tattered and sliced ends, over a plain black shirt. The robe is short, and goes only halfway down his back, only covering his shoulders, head, and the top half of his back and abdomen. When he is not fighting, Kurokon often wears dark clothing, usually black or blue. Sometimes he may even choose a darker red. Kuro's posture is calm yet stiff. He often stuffs his hands in his pockets or simply holds his sword while supporting his other hand by placing it on his pants. Kuro's clothing is most commonly a black pair of pants, with a dark blue sleeveless vest, and an overcoat of a middle blue color. The coat is decorative and elegant, used for both formality and fighting. He wears fingerless gloves, a shade of brown.

Personality: One of Kurokon's main features is his incredible intelligence. Kuro is known for his fast paced logic, and instant strategizing. He is known to be an incredible genius, able to understand and formulate various scientific theories in record time. When he learned by tutors, he was usually the one correcting them. In many circles, he would be considered a true genius, one who uses logic to think rather than memory. Kuro, while intelligent, does not boast it about, preferring to sit and watch quietly, attempting to understand those he observes. He is noted for his near perfect understanding of human emotions, which allows him to mediate arguments and fights. However, he loves to confuse people by making contradicting statements. Even if they are not confused with the statement, Kuro will be happy to find someone who can at least amuse him. Kuro, unfortunately, overestimates other people's intelligence, meaning he assumes, incorrectly, that they hold the same logic and knowledge that he does. This causes problems for him when trying to predict people and their reactions. Kuro is the type of genius who sees solutions rather than problems. In other words, he doesnt see a problem as a true problem, but as a new game, a new challenge.

His memory, without a doubt, is the single most conflicting thing about him. He can often recall things from years ago with startling accuracy, but forgets things that happened just the day before. Kuro calls it a data memory, while he says most normal people have picture memories. He can recall important things that happened, and picture them in his head, but in exchange, he forgets mundane and uninteresting things rather easily. He calls this a data memory due to the fact that he knows what happened, but cannot always recall smaller details, comparing himself to machines. He often jokes about how bad his memory is, since he cannot remember mundane things easily.

One of Kuro's more astounding attributes is his emotional control. While most who say they control their emotions suppress, or destroy them, Kuro truly changes what emotions he feels at a specific moment with little trouble. He can smile at a friend's death, or weep at his enemy's. He is usually smiling and jovial due to this. This particularly makes emotional attacks against Kuro nearly useless, unless they target his anger. Kuro explains his emotional control as a willpower based control. He creates emotions from willpower, in layman's terms, he feels what he wants by wanting to feel it. When asked why he is able to control his emotions, he will usually remark with a sarcastic "I'm me, thats why"

In truth, Anger is the single emotion Kuro does not have complete control over. While he is not able to control his anger, he is able to control his actions when angry, to a degree. If something absolutely enrages him, he will probably not stop himself from murdering someone, on the other hand, if someone annoys him slightly, he could turn the anger at the person into amusement of their stupidity. His family has all had anger issues, and when angry, they do not lose focus of anything, instead, they focus their anger onto something and target the subject of their anger with all their powers, mental and, sometimes, physical.

Kuro believes in an eye for an eye, but doesnt do it. He believes that everything has a good side, and anything is justifiable, given the right reasons. He finds little wrong with killing, even in cold blood, but is against imprisonment. His morals are conflicting and confusing to others, but he sticks by them. He understands that not everyone is the same in this manner. He believes that everyone is a different version of him, meaning he uses their consciousness as a connection. Kuro could torture a child with little moral consequences, if the child was truly evil, but he does not believe in killing someone defenseless unless they truly deserve it. Although conflicting, and somewhat pacifistic, Kuro is willing to get the job done by any means necessary. He will kill anyone who stands in his way without mercy. While he doesnt kill innocents, usually at least, he will not care if they get caught in the crossfire.

Kuro believes loyalty is one of the most admirable characteristics there are. While he doesnt care for national loyalty, he does admire friendship, partnership, or any kind of loyal relationship. He absolutely loathes any form of betrayal that is directed at a friend or someone close. To him, disloyalty is a reason to die. It does not count if a pirate wishes to leave his captain, but if a friend sells him out, he will not show any mercy. Regardless of his love for loyalty, Kuro doesnt look down on mercenaries. He believes that respect, and loyalty, are earned, not given, which is why he doesnt like many soldiers.

A larger flaw of Kuro, he can get bored if he is not actively doing something, making him learn different things to alleviate the boredom, or fight. He hates stagnation, and always tries to do something to keep from stagnating himself. He will get bored fast, and whenever he is bored, he does random things to entertain himself, these things include embarrassing, confusing, or just fighting other people, eating random but tasty food, or developing new theories and ideas.

Kuro's single fear is the fear of being bored. Not necessarily being bored, but being unable to alleviate boredom. As such, he is always trying to keep from being bored, which allows him to find trivial and usually stupid things fun. The reason he fears boredom is simple, boredom is the lack of doing anything, to him at least. He fears boredom because it is the single thing he cannot beat in any way. He is not deathly afraid of being bored, but hates it. This is the reason he hates imprisonment, because it causes extreme boredom.

In order to further alleviate the constant stagnation he so fears, he often listens to music, loving fast paced and meaningful music more than anything. He believes music is a definite thing in this world, something that always changes, as such, it is the opposite of stagnation, causing him to hold most music in high regards. While he loves most music, any music without meaning, or lyrics, to him, is a disrespectful abomination.

One would think with anger problems, hatred would be a common concept, but for Kuro, hatred is a foreign idea. He can only say he hates boredom, which is an idea rather than anything physical. He cannot hate someone for who they are, or what they believe. He is incapable of truly hating anything other than boredom. This is what allows him to forgive his friends for simple problems. Since he is incapable of hatred, he is often remarked as a innocent soul, at least until he eats the child next door because fuck it.

Love, to Kuro, is complicated. It is both confusing and simple to him, meaning he can love people, but will not understand it. He often gets embarrassed or confused by someone showing him such emotions. This embarrassment could be eliminated with his control, but in non-battle situations he finds it useful in his attempts to understand what love truly is.

Although he has perfect control over his emotions, he does not have that level of control over his thoughts. In truth he has very little control over what he thinks or pictures in his mind. His mind often wanders because of this, allowing him to become distracted by simple things that he finds amusing. His lack of control over his thoughts results in random incredibly insane ideas coming forth. This furthers his intelligence by allowing him to think of indirect connections from one theory to another. He gets entertained from other people's madness as well, and often strikes friendships with those who have similar insanity.

Kuro is able to predict people who he knows well enough. He often tests people he doesnt know by asking them seemingly mundane questions to test both intelligence, and personality. He can tell what to do when someone is in an emotional breakdown, usually. Although he has flawed understanding of love, control of anger, and lack of hate, he is able to understand other people's feelings rather easily.

Kuro is able to smoothly lie with a straight face and perfect tone, as if he was telling the truth. Unfortunately for him, this eliminates his credibility with those who know him, but do not fully trust him. He often lies about mundane things to protect either himself or others from embarrassment or other trouble. With this great skill at lying, comes the ability to see through lies others tell. He can often tell if someone is lying, but doesnt usually remark on it unless he deems it important. When he lies to his friends, it is often small mundane things. He uses these lies to test their lie reading ability.

Likes: Friends, Eating people, science, messing with people's genders and minds.

Dislikes: Marines, prudes, fools, ignorance and arrogance

Motivations: Kuro fights for his friends and for power... thats it.

Fears: Kuro's truest fear is boredom, which causes him to get angry rather than scared. He also hates being responsible for bratty little kids. The last real fear is the natural aversion to death that persists in humans.

Behavior/Habits: Kuro enjoys most branches of science and learning, but also enjoys being lazy when thinking of things. Kuro is constantly coming up with random theories that make usually no sense to anyone around him, but he understands them perfectly. Kuro also simply loves to train, due to his lust for power. Kuro speaks in a blunt, often misunderstood as rude, manner, uncaring of what others think of him. Even further, Kuro will often ask people on their opinions about controversial things in order to better understand society-based humans, as Kuro himself is mostly a sociopath, uncaring of the reality that the average man will obey.

History:Kuro was raised by two rather rich members of a large town. He grew up healthy, happy, and rather boringly. He was a genius of many levels, outright destroying his tutor's more ridiculous theory on some things, such as the cause of wind, or the reason volcanoes arent always active. As he grew, he began to notice his family was becoming more distant to him. He did not notice it until he had gained a fiance. At that time, his parents were heavily against it, and he did not know why. Eventually, he found her body lying at his feet before the wedding. Naturally, being the angry unstable teen he was at the time, he ran, leaving for a month. After surveying what had happened he came down to only one possible explanation. He forgot it about three minutes later, went home, grabbed his katana and killed his family. Not out of some sense of justice, but because fuck it all. He ran into Toastaros after doing so, briefly fought him. Before he could finish Toastaros off, marines attacked, having heard the screams. Werent too fast about it really. Unfortunately, he couldnt steal anything before the marines attacked, meaning he lost all that money. Pity. Eventually, after putting up with Toastaros, he became friends. He is still not sure how, but hell, he couldnt remember it if he tried. He stole a ship, stole some money, and Toastaros became his first mate, and no. Not that kind of mate either sicko. He later killed Toastaros because of an incident involving a girl on a certain island. Currently, he is simply roaming the world on a ship, hunting bounties for food... literally, he eats people with bounty's on their heads.
