Kuro while alive, with his very long hair.

Basics

Name:Kuro Okami
True Age: 757
Gender:Male
Personality:

Personality

Plain: Kuro will tell you how it is. He doesn't have time to go into every single detail about every little thing; so he'll tell it to you as quickly as possible. This isn't him try to be rude, and he never thinks of it as such. It is simply how he acts.

Assassin Mentality: Kuro is definitely an assassin. However, whenhe begins a mission, his entire self begins to change. His eyes gain a new kind of hardness, his entire body simultaneously relaxes and tightens up, and his mind becomes clear as day. This Kuro cuts down all targets within his path, never going into a bloodlusting frenzy due to his collection and control. If you are fighting him and he enters this state, be extremely cautious; as this is a state with which he is deadly efficient.

Battle-hardened: Kuro is somewhat versed in the ways of the world, having seen his share of bloodshed and carnage, as well as experiencing several things already known to mankind. He isnot a clueless individual, although he is still not very good at giving advice. Being someone's senior is always a strange feeling for him, although he is eventually able to adjust.

Absence of Trust: He has forgotten how to trust. As the scars that mar his back remind him, the only things in this world that he can truly trust are himself and possibly small children. However, this does not mean he is incapable of trust; simply that he has never had anyone close enough to cause him to trust them.

Cheer Mentality: However, when he is not inbattle, Kuro becomes quite different. The stress of his kind of life causes him to have to find some kindof outlet, and that outlet is his daily life. Inhis daily life he tends to have a smile on his face, and his body constantly relaxed. It takes a lot for him to react and change into his Assassin Mentality, but it takes almost as much for him to change back to Cheer Mentality. Interestingly, if he is made to eat pancakes he instantly changes into the Cheer Mentality.

Impulsive: However, despite everything else, Kuro also has a bad habit of being impulsive. He will often do things without thinking, such as taking things from a plate that isn't his, or randomly stabbing his frienemy, whoever they may be. 90% of the time, however, he will realize his screw up, apologize and ask for forgiveness. The other 10% involves food of some kind… He can be impulsive in any Mentality, but the actions he performs in Assassin Mentality tend to have much less consequence than those done in Cheer Mentality.

Fast Emotions: Kuro tends to go through emotions fairly quickly. He can be kind of depressed one moment to nearly santa-tier cheery the next. However, this applies only to Cheer Mentality; Assassin Mentality completely lacks emotions.

General Appearance

His hair is short on his head, with a medium length. He wears flowing blue robes and has blue eyes. His body is wiry but stronger than he appears; after all, he is quite strong physically, as one could tell if they felt him flex. Which is rare. He doesn't flex.

Natural Abilities

Unreleased Abilities:

Ninja Mode
Kuro Okami is a flippin' ninja. He is well trained in the arts of Battojutsu, ninjutsu through kido, taijutsu, and the art of genjutsu.

Battojutsu

Reverse Sword Style: Kuro's blade is strange. The outer blade is completely blunt; it cannot cut a thing. However, the inside of the blade is where the sharpness is. Kuro uses this to prevent killing people for the most part. However, it can still kill.

Rising Wolf: When Kuro activates this, his entire body completely relaxes, before suddenly tensing up as he vanishes, triggering the use of Shunpo. He can then choose to perform a Ground Wolf or a Flying Wolf from this stance.

Ground Wolf: With the immense amount of speed that he is currently wielding, he can dart forwards on the ground. He moves faster than his own sight in this state, so he must plan out his reaction ahead of time. While in Ground Wolf, he can perform up to three high-speed slashes before he slows down, ending up wherever his target was in his mind.

Flying Wolf: In Flying Wolf, he rises up into the air, before smashing down upon his target with his blade held barred. As he falls, he performs two slashes, then once on the ground he can make two more attacks before the Rising Wolf fades.
'
Wolf Claw: This is the first killing move in Kuro's repertoire. It is called killing move because it has the ABILITY to be deadly, although it in itself is not deadly necessarily. It is the first one that can be used to aim for a kill; it is the first move that forces Kuro to use the inside of his blade. This is a pretty basic two-strike move. The first strike involves striking at the side of the target, causing them to recoil from the blow and pushing the blade off of them. Then, Kuro tenses the muscles in his upper arm, turning his wrist as he performs a backwards slash at his target, trying with all his might to cut whatever he's aiming for.

Wolf's Rest: Kuro has an intricate knowledge of the body's blood vessels and pressure points, due to his training. He knows exactly where to strike a person to force them to begin to lose consciousness, and uses this to knock out his opponents more than to kill them. He can even register where he is striking at high speeds, countering and knocking out multiple enemies around him with only using the efforts of striking each one a single time.

Wolf Slaying Storm: Kuro stops his foot, taking a deep breath as he turns his waist and stomach, before letting the breath out as he turns his wrist to the side and throws out his arm. As his body uncoils it gains additional speed, as he himself initiates Shunpo on his upper body. This causes his sword to swing around in an arc, before he pulls it back to himself, turning his body around. This is yet another attack with the potential to deal harm to another being ,as Kuro can choose to gash open the chests or even throats of many people around him with little warning. He can use this a form of Lai to draw his blade and send it instantly into this stance, giving even less warning than before. He can also use this attack without the intent to harm to turn himself around quickly.

Wolf Fang's Grasp: This is a disarmament technique. When Kuro's blade and an opponent's meet, Kuro is able to press downwards on his blade. Due to the sharpened backside of the blade, it causes his blade to slide along the opponents, putting his blade tip above the opponent's guard and making it so they cannot lift the blade. This way, he can place his elbow over the opponent's sword, completely catching it. Then, he pulls on his blade ad pushes against the opponent's weapon, trying to pull it out of their grasp. As their own weapon and Kuro are now working against them, they are ecouraged to drop their weapon. This causes them to become disarmed. However, if this fails, Kuro will often be hit by the opponent due to his close proximity as a result.

Ninjutsu

Kuro can use the following Kido without their incantations, without even saying their names, instead performing a series of hand motions that move his reiatsu in unique ways and allow him to project the kido from unique points on his person.

Hado 33: Emits a large ball of fire from his mouth, blowing out between a bridge created by his pointer fingers.

Bakudo 27: Holds one hand over another, causing his entire person to become totally invisible.

Hado 42, Sorinkatsui: Kuro holds one hand in front of his face, causing what looks like a ring with fan blades sticking out of it to appear. By bringing it back, it extends into a large windmill blade with four points. Then, he throws it forwards, causing it to surge forwards. However, that is not all to this technique. It also causes another windmill blade exactly like it to appear behind it, invisible in the first blade's shadow, causing it to normally hit the opponent if they dodge the first one.

Taijutsu

Sairentosurīpāsutairu (Silent Sleeper Style): The Taijutsu that Kuro knows is called Sairentosurīpāsutairu. It focuses on either putting the opponent to sleep or putting them to death through the usage of specific blood vessels and pressure points on the human body. It also has the special ability to be able to disrupt the flow of a being's reiatsu.

Face Paralysis: While this specific attack can kill quite easily if the fist makes connection with the aimed-for blood vessel, the defense of most beings allow them to merely have their faces paralyzed in the moment that they were hit. This can cause some humourous faces; but this is not an attack that should be taken lightly. This attack can happen very quickly, as Kuro is able to use his arm in this attack with the speed of a striking snake. His fingers curl up to reveal his second knuckles, and then he shoots the hand forwards with Shunpo, aiming directly under the opponent's nose. If the attack hits, it can rupture the blood vessel there, cutting off blood flow to the brain. Or, if they have a particularly well defended face or if Kuro misses the vessel, he merely paralyzes their face in place.

Sleep of the Throat: If Kuro puts his fingers onto the back of someone's neck, he is able to apply a minute amount of pressure with his fingertips to very specific points on the back of their neck. This causes them to instantly lose bloodflow, and causes them to feel woozy for a moment before passing out completely. If Kuro held his fingers onto the spot for too long, they could die; however, most necks are too fleshy for this to happen.

Back-Hand Guard: Just as the tips of his fingers are his weapon, it could be said that the backs of his hands are his shields. The back of Kuro's hands have a special metal infused on top of his bones. This metal is extremely hard, and while the flesh above it can be cut, it is not so easy to cut Kuro's bones. As such, the backs of his hands are extremely effective as shields. He can bat away most blades and limbs, as long as he is able to react to them in time.

Loss of Stomach: Kuro steps forwards towards his opponents, moving with his right hand to deflect the opponent's right arm forcefully, before holding their left arm back with the back of his left hand. Then, he thrusts his right hand forwards, depending on the opponent's right arm to have been subdued. His right hand shoots forwards, slamming solidly into the opponent's gut. As long as they are not overweight, the force of Kuro's attack and where he puts the pressure in his attack causes his opponent's gag reflex to be initiated to maximum level, causing them to puke their guts out and greatly distracting them. However, the best way to stop this is to not allow one's right arm to be pushed aside, as Kuro leaves an opening on his right side when he goes to strike.

Reiatsu Disruption: Kuro is able to infuse a special kind of reiatsu mixture into his fingers, causing them to glow with a blue energy. Whenever these fingers make contact with an enemy opponent, a special effect occurs. Kuro strikes not onlyy at the flesh and blood, but at something beyond; their ability to manipulate energy with that point in their body. They are still albe to use reiatsu; however, for exampple, if Kuro hit them in the shoulder, they would have a hard time trying to use kido with that hand as his energy is at leasst somewhat blocking their ability to manipulate their reiatsu. This block can be overpowered using another kindof energy; however, the sheer exertion upon the point where the reiatsu block was often tires thetarget out in that specific point.

Genjutsu

The Slip: Kuro is well versed in the many materials that one can find in the vast wilderness, as well as a natural city scape. He can use this material to hide himself in an instant, as he has to work very fast to be able to get away from his opponents or to conceal himself. As such, his disguises often vary widely depending on his location.

KI: By exclaming this, Kuro overloads his senses with his own reiatsu, overpowering any illusions that they are perceiving and allowing him to perceive everything as they are once again. He can also touch someone and activate KI on them, releasing them from any illusions as well.

Crows: By pointing his finger at his opponent, Kuro can fire out a wave of his reiatsu around them, enveloping their senses. This fades the opponent's senses, preventing them from properly seeing where Kuro is. Instead,

Zanpakutō:



Zanpakutō Release Phrase: The realm of shadow takes us all, release Akai me no Kuroi Inu!

Zanpakutō Spirit

Zanpakutō Spirit Name:Akai me no kuroi inu
Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance:



Zanpakutō Spirit Personality:

Akai is no normal zanpaktou spirit. It was created based on Kuro's greatest influence growing up; the giant shadow beast whom he slayed and whom slayed him. As such, it is not a good spirit. However, it does admire Kuro's drive to work towards his goa.. That is the only reason why it will help him. Otherwise, it just enjoys laying on verbal and occasionally physical abuse.
Zanpakutō Spirit's World: Kuro's inner world is a massive palace of darkness. There is no light whatsoever within it; in the very center, there is a massive, absolutely massive beast that is his Zanpaktou spirit. This beast is watching out all around at all times. The palace of darkness is not barren, however; there are massive pillars all around the place, which Kuro is able to leap up onto. In addition, the palace has a variety of blades in the pillars that Kuro can pick up and fight with. Finally, the beast is able to leap from pillar to pillar and raise them up and down by standing on them.

Shikai

Shikai Appearance:



Kuro forms two blades in his hands, like daggers. However, they each have a loop around the hilt that he can maneuver to change their direction; as his whole skinny arm can fit through the hole.

Shikai Abilities:

Darkness Control: He can form darkness in his hands, literal shadow, taking it from a space and treating it like a source of energy. However, he cannot use the same energy from the shadow more than once per day, or in other words, more than dawn to dawn. He drains the energy when he takes out energy from the shadow, making it what it is. From there, he forms it into energy to fire off like cero or bala, or into things like spears that he can throw or wield. If he does wield something, he can only hold up to two solid objects at a time. Meaning, he could go up to the shadow of a house during the day, take up all the 'power' of the shadow (Which wouldn't be much, as the shadow would not be dark), removing the power from it until the next rising of the sun, and form the energy into a ball in his hand. From there, he could make a small blast of energy outwards, or throw it in a ball of power that explodes on contact. He could form it into a spear to throw at the opponent, or make a wrist guard to try and use a mild defense against an opponent.

However, at night, his power is greatly weakened as opposed to increased, as their is no light to give contrast to darkness. He will use up an entire city-block worth of energy to fire off a cero-level attack at night, as long as it is pitch black. However, if there are still man-made lights around the shadow, the shadow near them will be more potent, and be more effective than normal. The same effect occurs if he is in a space with little or no light. So, he is at his weakest when trapped in a small, lightless space, even if he is able to see through it with the shades, and at high noon outside in a clear area, as there is a lack of shadows.

He is able to gain the shadows into his hands fast enough to react and wield them, as it is a completely natural ability of his shikai. There is also one other thing that he is able to do with his shadows, and that is ingest them. For a small, cero-amount size of energy, he is able to swallow it quickly during a single post, gaining a small increase to his strength, speed, and briefly heightening his senses, as well as increasing his pain tolerance and healing minor scratches and bruises. However, this does take a small amount of time to prepare, as his body has to accept the shadow, so he has to make sure he is safe before using it. The increase usually only lasts for a post. The other way that he can use his shadows in this manner is to charge it up over the time of a post. This greatly increases his strength and speed, his reaction time, naturally allowing him to see in the dark, a better sense of smell and hearing, as well as increasing his pain tolerance. This form lasts for two to three posts, and uses a substantial amount of energy.

Another way he can do this is to ingest a very large amount of shadow into himself, over the course of two to three posts. When this occurs, his body enters a very alert state, putting it into overdrive in all areas but for Kidō. However, while in this state, he constantly uses the energy in his own cells, his proteins being produced at a rapid rate as the shadow alters his DNA temporairily and demanding it to increase output to maximum. When this happens, a black flame-like thing appears on his forehead, signaling he is in his deadly serious form. This form lasts for four posts, and after it is over, he goes completely out of energy, falling to the ground, his own body shutting down so that he can begin to regenerate all the damage to his cells.

Finally, he can perform a massive blast of shadows almost like a cero, forming a hard substance that slams into an opponent before it explodes, attempting to destroy the opponent as they are enveloped in a massive amount of shadows, making it difficult for them to see.

Pulse Step: By firing a large amount of energy through a limb makes its speed increase heavily, the energy firing out making its speed quite rapid as he uses the limb to attack. This combined with the blast often proves to be quite an effective combination against several different types of opponents

Bankai

Bankai Appearance:In his Bankai, the daggers that Kuro carried with him in his Shikai mutltiply themselves, until they become eight different daggers. The Bankai is released by saying "Cut and Divide, Kuro no Ami Inu!" And throwing his daggers spinning into the air, glowing. Then they fall into place, all five of them. One between his teeth, one on his right shoulder, one in each arm, one under his left armpit, the torso of his body a deadly weapon. On either side of his body, he has two small sheathes at his hips, and on his back, he has a single sheathe. It's interesting to note that just with a single step, Kuro can throw the daggers into the air, perfectly placing them all into their sheathes simultaneously.

In addition, his body changes, as his hair turns white and his clothes change drastically, leaving him to look like this.


Bankai Abilities:

Extreme Balance and Focus: His focus in his bankai is greatly enhanced, allowing him to flawlessly control each of the five blades in Ryutoryu style, as it were, combat, moving them perfectly as he desires, throwing them up into the air, making just the right movements, never getting caught up in his own blades, which are unable to harm him anyway. His Focus also increases one level, up to master.

Former Skills: Anything he could use in shikai, he can also use in Bankai.

Shadow Waves: By moving his entire torso in one direction, he fires off a huge, five layered wave of energy at the opponent. This attack is interesting; it has no down or charge up time due to the fact that each actual slash uses very little energy to charge up and fire; however, the opponent has to block five separate attacks that look as if they are one coming at them. This is actually based on Kuro's love of pancakes; a stack of pancakes able to be eaten all at once, or taken one cake at a time and savored.

Eyes in the Back of his Head: While in this form, he instantly and permantently has Shadow Shades appear on his face, allowing him to see in almost all kinds of darkness but those that have been spiritually darkrened instantly. In addition, the dagger he carries in his mouth gives him another effect; he can always see what's going on behind him in that daggers reflection, which seems to make him have "Eyes in the back of his head", or Goken Bakkui, Five-Sword Back Eye style.

Goken Bakkui: This custom form of Kuro's is quite interesting; its key is in its fast release and exectution of using the blades. His entire body is a flash in the shadows as he uses this style; he physically makes no noise whatsoever whenever he is in bankai, due to how this style works. In addition, he also wipes his scent, and dims down his spiritual pressure quite a bit, requiring strong sensory to find where he is. In addition, his entire body becomes like to shadow, only a faint outline revealing where he is. So, for the enemy to attack him, they must have either high sensory, or high focus or willpower to seek his body out.

Goken Bakkui: Pancake Mix: This is a unique form of lai used by Goken Bakkui. Quite simply, the objective of the attack is not to kill the opponent in one blow; rather, it is to completely disorient them. As the blades are simultaneously drawn from their sheathes, all five of them, Kuro takes a single step forwards, as they fall neatly into place on his body, creating a downward current. Then, he flips his body around, moving the draft with his body and the blades as he steps into the opponent, sending the current and the force of Kuro's body and blades into them as every sense is mixed up, their sight whirling, wind in their ears and covering their body, as well as disturbing their sense of smell. Depending on teh strength of the opponent and their weight, this attack can last anywhere from two to ten seconds of confusion for the opponent. Note that the opponent must at least have a humanoid like shape for this to have any effect.

Enhanced State: In this form, his speed, strength, senses, just most of his body enters a full release. His speed becomes akin to moving as if several flash steps are being performed in succession; his strength is able to smash boulders with a swing of his blade; and his senses and perception are at their maximum possible level. In addition, it grants him better control of the Disturbed Energies, all things associated with them, in addition to his own shadow control becoming 50% more effective.

Past & Roleplay Sample

Character Background:

Born to uncertain parents under a specific sign, he was the one designated by his people to become the defender of his small village. A village where children laughed, the elderly relaxed and lamented old times amongst themselves and their kin.However, there was something quite not right about their village; and that was the massive temple that was held at the village's center.

This temple was devoted to none, but rather created to contain a great shadow in the temple's center. Kuro was raised inside of the temple, and learned the ways of the shadows so that he could defend his village against the thing in the temple's core. Kuro as a child was very impulsive and care free; however, as he began to grow older and his sensei all began to agree that he was too old for such tomfoolery, they quickly beat the cheerful impulse out of him, replacing it with a strange cold nature that did not fit the boy at all.

So it came to pass that Kuro became a ninja, in mind and body. Ahis strikes with his blade were quick, taking down his targets with a flourish, as he was often called upon by the village to punish criminals inside the community. His targets never said what he did to them when he caught them, although he tended to be a bit more lenient to the drunk and the poor.

Finally he went after the son of a nobleman. However, unlike all of his other disciplined subjects, this pig squealed. Quite loudly, in fact. So it was that when Kuro arrived back at the temple the next day, to finding nothing but the corpse of his sensei, the one who taught him the ways of the shadows and the only one alive still of the ones who had overseen his training. As he beheld the corpse, Kuro was stricken. For the first time in his time as a wielder of the shadows, he could not see what to do.

He knew who had been responsible for this, and as Kuro meditated before the corpse of his master an idea came to him. As he arose from his place of resting, his eyes were sharp, and yet dull. He was completely focused on his mission, unable to see any other thing. He quickly made his way into the nobleman's house, moving through the strange sewage lines that they had, moving arm over arm as he held his breath for over ten minutes straight.

At last he came to an empty room, and entered it without being seen. A door was opened, and before the nobleman's son fully walked into the room, Kuro was already around behind him and back in the door. He looked upwards, quickly ascending to the beams above the room, moving over the center of the room. This was definitely a secret place, a private room from the looks of it. Kuro looked down, his gaze hardening as he beheld the nobleman.

Kuro took a few moments, sitting on the beam with his legs hanging as he prepared himself, wrapping some line around some of his knives. He looked down at the notbleman, deftly dropping knives this way and that as they descended, landing next to the man's limbs silently. Kuro himself then slid himself around, holding himself on the beam by his legs, wielding his blade in both hands and pointing the tip directly at the sleeping man's nose.

Kuro let the blade down, easily slicing through the material of the man's sleepwear. He rested the blade just above the man's heart, before preparing spit in his mouth and releasing it in a direct shot at the man's eye. He suddenly flinched, blinking as he was unable to move from the spot. Around his limbs and neck wire was holding him down, and in front of his chest was a star shaped line. "You are despicable. Know that this day I could easily have killed you and taken your heart. It would be far too easy for me to. However, for today, I am merely carrying out the will of my master." He explained, as his blade's tip shifted, Kuro flicking his wrist as the blade drew blood from the man's wrist.

"Whatever dark forces you may have used against my sensei will not be able to effect me. I shall not sleep, I shall never rest until you are now completely destroyed." He stated simply, his focused eyes meeting the terrified ones of the whimpering man before him. "You have destroyed yourself by your double-standards. Congratulations. I know I will personally be attending your bankruptcy auction. Maybe show them where this room is." He said simply, before standing up on the pillar and looking skywards, moving his sword quickly as he made three cuts into the wood. He prepared his legs and leaped, leaving the man in his current situation and causing Kuro to escape, the man's blood still covering the tip of the blade.

Kuro meditated once more, and came to two conclusions. First, having close ties to other people would only hurt him. Second, that the best way to incur wrath against the man would be to run up his debt. Kuro quickly looked into the man's affairs, learning of many of his dark world connections.

He began moving quickly, carrying out the punishments of all those responsible for aiding the man. Alternatively, he began to troll around the marketplace of his townplace, a hat obscuring a full view of his face as he would walk past the nobleman's son, his blade moving faster than the human eye could see as it slid along the bottom of the bag. Coins suddenly burst from it, covering the ground as the children and the poor of the village quickly cooped them up, Kuro vanishing quickly into the crowd once more.

Gradually, the nobleman could no longer maintain his debt he had gathered. No new money was coming in, and after six months of being unable to use the finan es he had, his debt had become a gigantic monster. Kuro's back rested lightly on a brick wall one evening, his gaze looking upwards casually one evening as he listened to the pleasant ries of the nobleman just a little bit down the alley next to himasloan sharks broke both of his kneecaps. He blinkedand looked over as the man with his broken legs crawled down the alleyway, looking up and gripping the pantleg of the only human life he could find.

However, as Kuro's eyes met the man's, his stone cold face blank, the man's expression of relief changed to further terror, if that were possible. Kuro's leg lifted up, his foot aimed at the man's face, before he froze, before lowering his foot back to neutral position once more. "This is the difference between you and me." He said simply, looking down at the man. "I strike back at the source of my anger. And also unlike you… My rage is just." He said simply, before turning around, his face still looking forwards as he continued to walk along, completely neglecting the man now as he held up a hand as if asking for help… But Kuro knew he would be receiving none. He losed his eyes as he made his way back to the temple, satisfied.

However, as Kuro lifted his eye lids to blink at something before him, he suddenly stopped, falling aback. "W-what…" He said simply, dumbstruck. The temple was gone; in its place, merely a gigantic crater. His eyes widened, as he began taking a step back. THE SHADOW! I HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO IT- He realized, suddenly cut off by a gigantic claw shooting towards him.

His eyes changed instantly, adopting the harsher light as his body spun in the air as he dodged, placing his feet firmly on the appendage as two blades fell from each sleeve, Kuro laying the blades out as he quikly ran up the arm, slashing it horribly. He leaped into the air above the beast, holding his blades in front of himself. "SPIRALING BLADE DANCE!" He said simply, as his body began to fade from the speed he was using. His blades shot against the creature's face, as it was rent multiple times. The beast cried out, shooting its unwounded arm out and gripping Kuro firmly as he fell to his bosom.

[color=black}"You may kill me… BUT I CAN FINALLY DESTROY YOU!"[/color] He voiced clearly, the beast confused as it began to squeeze him. Kuro's personal blade was pushing, digging into the skin of the much bigger creature, as he began working his way towards its heart. The thing with the beast was that it had to be killed by dragging the back of ones sword up through its heart; that was the only way to attack the ital bloodvessels that kept it alive and destroy it. He grunted, his body feeling the pressure as his blade started cutting through blood vessels ,his reverse-edged blade cuttin up through it as he began to cry out from the pain of the pressure.

At last, he gave a great cry, the beast giving one as well as the two put their final efforts into their attack. The beast could feel the damage it was taking, and knew it had to quickly kill Kuro. However, Kuro was not done quite yet as his arms brought the blade up, the beast crying out as Kuro ryed out with it, feeling his ribcage shattered into hundreds of thousands of pieces as the its of bones stabbed into his flesh, cutting all through historso and piercing many of his vital organs. He knew in that moment that he was dead; there was no possible way that he ould have survived that much damage. But he didn't expect for the beast to die. Which it did.

Kuro blinked as he came into consciousness once more, looking down at his hands. ...Where is it… He wondered, looking at the destroyed temple and the corpses of himself and the beast. He fished around the beast's insides, before at last exclaiming. Got it! He thought to himself as he drew out the reverse edged blade. He beld the crest on its bottom, a somewhat sad look on his face. ...I have failed. He thought to himself, as he held the blade in front of his stomach, eyees looking upwards towards the sky.

The only way to regain my honor… He thought, as he looked up into the rising sun, the warm rays touching his face as he opened one eyes into them, blinking. "Is to show my repentence." He choked out, as the blade bplunged deep inside of him, piercing straight through his heart as the Reverse-Edged Soul Reaper's blade that was passed through the generations of ninja before him performed Konso on his soul, judging him to have lived a fair and honorable life as he vanished from that spot, before suddenly waking up again.

...Where am I? He wondered as he reappeared inside of a small wooden house, looking down at his feet. I died… Is this perhaps Nirvana? He wondered, looking around. If it was his paridise, this would have done fine for Kuro. However, he knew that it wasn't going to be that easy. He blinked, getting out of the futon he was on and going forwards as he walked out of the house, closing his eyes against the harsh light of the Soul Society.

Kuro quickly became a part of Soul Society, graduating at the absolute top of his class. However, that was all he has done; after all, when the top in your class keepshaving to repeat a class because he couldn't remember his sword, you know he'd be in that school for a while. However, being in there for so long allowed him to learn many things… Very many things… As he was one of the first students ever to achieve bankai… while still a student. Well, with a giant shadowy monster as your inner zanpaktou, what would you expect from the Black Ninja, who was now looking for a squadron?

Roleplay Sample:

Colin's eyes slowly widened, as in the distance, something began to rapidly approach. Colin's eyes narrowed as a set of his wings acted with haste, the feathers rooting themselves into his body all over as he watched the demon queen, forming a kind of barrier made of pure energy all over his body, using the tips of the feathers as conduits. He didn't trust this darkness pouring out from her, nor did he trust she would not do anything while inside of it.

He heard a voice beginning to speak, causing his own eyes to narrow. "Wouldn't you like to know." He muttered back, as he began to feel a bead of sweat rolling down th back of his neck. His whole body was tense; there was something he wasn't quite sure of, but with this darknness…

Then she rose up from her pool of shadows. Colin's eyes widened completely, as he began to do several things at once. Inside of his head, at least. The first thing was using his cybereyes on her. The amount of reiatsu she had was insane; like Zin's in its potency, but even… more potent. It was the strongest reiatsu he had ever witnessed before, and he knew right there and then he was going to have to report it in. The second thing that he did simultaneously was accessing an open channel of the Yuudeshi Network using his cybermind; both crossreferencing and recording and uploading the outline of the reiatsu body he had sensed, and then cross referencing it across the…

Oh fudge darnit. Was all he could think as the results nigh instanteously returned to him. This was the chick who had screwed over all of London; that was the first thing that the connection to the Yuudeshi Network could confirm. The second was that she was most likely not to be engaged but by the strongest operatives. ...This is bad. He determined, having heard what she said earlier. Then all this black stuff is the cause of the virus… He reasoned, before she began to speak once more, as his eyes focused back on her once more.

….nononononono. He thought, shaking his head slightly and closing his eyes for a moment as she started to dance, thinking of what Marama would say if she saw him like this. However, as she began talking about rationality again, he allowed himself to see once again, seeing she had changed form. Or at least color. His eyes narrowed completely this time, as his pupils began to change, becoming merely vertical slits in his eye sockets as he watched her. He was preparing himself; preparing himself for anything. What shall I do though, if… He became troubled, as he thought about what she had done to conclude the battle of London.

Finally she pointed both hands at him, releasing a large amount of energy, without hesitation. Does she honestly… He wondered, as his three sets of wings upon his back, the bottom set missing to make his small barrier around himself, flapped a single time. As he did so, the blasts of darkness hit exactly where he was standing, completely covering him with the black energy blast… Or so it would appear, as Colin reappeared standing over the government building, his eyes still watching everywhere as a spike of the darkness blast she had used shot right towards him.

His hand flashed out, firing a bala from his hand as it impacted with the darkness; triggering its massive explosion, as it was reduced, but a prinprick of it still shot forwards, Colin's eyes widening as he triggered Rapido Avaces in his feet, spinning around as it nudged the edge of his shoulder.

Rapido Avaces shot into Colin's hand as he grabbed the plasma knife he had bought at the Cybermind, so long ago. His hand, still moving with the force of RA, cut into his shoulder, just a little bit, with the precision of a surgeon as he ripped off the first layer of skin that had been punctured. The spike hadn't gone far enough in to cause a wound; but Colin could feel as soon as it had disintegrated his barrier, with miniature implosions, removing the energy surrounding and protecting his body, teaching him what it did to things it came into contact with, that he had to destroy it that second. So he did, as his plasma knife cut the energy completely off from his body before it had any chance to spread, the precision he used peeling the skin off as if he had had a sunburn, leaving aa red mark where it had just been. The feathers, now barrier less, shot back to his back once more, not having been affected by the decay, as the tips of the feathers were like the edge of Colin's plasma knife, and nearly as sharp as they shot onto his back as he realized what was happening to the barrier.

His eyes looked back about the field as he saw his friend, Toki Iramasha, on the scene. His eyes widened, as he realized something; there was a possibility, a small one, but a possibility nonetheless that they could do something in case this demoness decided to end the city of Madenise, Antartica, as Colin remembered the last time he had had an encounter with Toki. In any case, it was a relief to see him again as Colin repositioned himself on the roof, watching carefully as out of the three blasts, another of them vanished. ...Crap crap crap. He thought to himself as he took a deep, shuddering breath.

The plasma knife was still in his hand as he heard her speaking again. However, he decided to hold his tongue for the moment, there would be plenty to s-

He was cut off once more in his line of thought, as he released Rapido Avaces in his entire body, throwing himself to the left side as his head ducked down. The spike by his forehead shot straight through, clearly skewering the fabric of Colin's tilly hat. His plasma knife batted away the one in front of himself as he moved away from it, but as he went to stop the last one…

Blood dripped down the back of Colin Washi as he stood atop the building, his knife in one hand and a strong grip in the other, as he looked up and smiled at Mana…

And vanished behind her, his torso mere feet from hers, as his right hand flashed out. The blade moved effortlessly through the air as the plasma aimed to separate her head from her shoulders, as Colin smiled widely, throwing out his left hand as he moved backwards, a cero launching from his hand as it consumed the head, trying to completely disintegrate it as the hollow inside Colin's body spoke, using Colin's mouth. "The boss and me we got's an understanding." He said, as the plasma knife finally stopped moving at near instantaneous speed. Along its edge was not a bit of black, but instead a single strange of red.

In reality, Colin had shifted to the hollow that had been watching the last spike, knowing that this was what Mana wanted, as the knife had to dig into his skin to stop the strand in time. However, it had been quiet clear how she acted that she was going to try to make him this way, so he had given her what she had expected… And his hollow had acted in time, activating a shunpo to appear behind her, using Rapido Avaces in his right hand as the plasma of the knife cut at Mana's neck, and pushing his left hand forwards and releasing the cero energy to consume the head and destroy it.

"I don't try to kill him, and he don’t try to kill himself." The hollow explained, before it opened Colin's mouth, releasing a large screech like a hawk's, before it gave Colin's mind back to its owner.

Colin quickly came back and instantly shot away, looking all around himself as he noticed the stuff going inside the bulding. He quickly looked over to Toki, before vanishing and reappearing behind the Iramasha. He knew about the mind link they had, having been on the receiving end of it before, as Colin struck out his own reiatsu as he sent Toki the image of the shadowy stuff descending below. Colin knew that whatever was in there should not be allowed to fall into hands of darkness; but he himself had not a clue what he could do about it, as his domain was the air, not the light of the sun.

He vanished once again, reappearing it seemed in four places around Mana. From each Colin there was a light on a fingertip, before four cero shot out from the Co-Head, his body moving so fast that he was able to maintain the illusion of being in four places at once with his afterimages. Colin didn't have to worry about waste, either; she, or at least her body, as he had attempted to remove the head, was above him, so he wouldn't hit anything with these good sized cero as they impacted with one another, creating a massive explosion that rent the sky as Colin appeared in just one spot, down in the road below, moving in shunpo as he knew that one blast was still around here somewhere. After all, he had seen more reiatsu in the attack that had vanished than in the other two.
