Personality: Kuro is a sociable person if you talk to him, though he is generally too busy to visit. Kuro is a major bookworm and loves to study and read things.

Which can be a down side.

Description of released form: The release form is a long Buddhist staff that is a dark black. There is a blade tip at the bottom, a Jumonji Yari head. (Look up Yari on Wikipedia, it should have a picture.) There is a dark candle that floats perfectly above the top of the staff, it does not move from where it is located on the staff. (Think Miroku's staff that's black, has a jumonji yari head at the bottom and a magic candle that floats over the circle things.)

History/Background:
       Kuro has almost no memory of his life back on earth other than his last hour there. He remembers driving angrily going down the road, arguing with his new wife. He knew she was his wife because he could remember the feelings he had for the woman. He remembered the anger and frustration that was passed between the both of them. He took his eyes off the road during the argument. Not realizing that the wood carrying truck in front of him had hit its breaks so a small animal could pass. Kuro's car rammed into the back of the truck, breaking the chains holding some of the trees in.  Kuro hit the truck from and angle so he flew out of the car into the other lane (Why you always wear a seat-belt!!! cuz he was not.... ^^). He looked back to see his wife smashed in her seat by a tree that fell out of the truck and smashed into the car. He forced himself to go to her, tears flowing from his eyes as he limped in her direction. His sorrows faded as oncoming traffic met him head on.

       Kuro woke to find himself in the world after alone. Memories of the accident haunted him. He would wander the streets searching the people trying to find is wife.  As he searched he had children follow him. Slowly he had a whole group of children with him, all orphans. He would talk of the woman he was searching for. They went on for years. Finally he found her, in the streets at a little shop. He ran to her, screaming her name. She was quiet. He fell to his knees begging for forgiveness, only to get no response. She told him he must have confused her with someone else. He was heart-broken, falling to the ground sobbing. The orphaned children who had been helping him, helped him up and convinced him to move on. It was a new life anyways.

      Kuro started an Orphanage for the children a few towns away. He spent his days reading to the children, slowly getting over the event with his old wife. The orphans who had helped him went away one by one. Kuro was eventually left alone in the orphanage. He would read to the photos of the children who once lived there. Then one day the door began to shake violently. Kuro rushed to open it. Tall dark figures yanked him outside. They were bandits. They held him down as other bandits pillaged through the orphanage. They just said it was filled of crap and nothing of value. Kuro watched as they burnt down the orphanage. He struggled to break free, but he lacked the brute force to do so. They bashed a large stick into his face thinking the blunt damage killed him. Kuro laid there, watching as the orphanage burnt down. The only happy memories he had in the world ruined. Kuro realized when he woke the next morning that he must become strong to protect anything he would become close too. He became obsessed with studying kidou and joined the shinigami academy.



Rp sample:

Kuro ran through the library with a large book layered in dust, running to the street outside. The townsfolk ran screaming as men wielding katanas wreaked havoc. The bloodshed upset Kuro, he was sick of the blood shed. He picked up the leg of a broken table. "Come on......Come fight me and get what you deserve!" The bandits laughed and walked to Kuro with blood-lust evident in their eyes. Kuro trembled in fear, for he knew he was weak.

The bandits fell to their knees howling in pain, as what appeared to be blood flew from their direction. Kuro shook his head in disbelief as strangers in robes wielding katanas waved their blades side to side, removing blood that remained on them. "It is alright now..... We are shinigami.... We are here to protect you...." Kuro shook as they began to walk away. Kuro knew he was tired of feeling weak. He ran behind them and yelled, "Take me with you! Please... I am tired of this.... I want to be able to protect like you!" Kuro had tears run down his eyes as he spoke, for what he said he meant with every inch of his being.

( I will change anything if needed.)
