Kuroi Usagi

## Appearance

Kuroi's body frame is slim yet mildly toned. Anyone can tell he's in shape and fully capable of combat. His eye color is silver, his ears and tails are black, and the tip of his tail is gray. Despite his combat prowess, Kuroi's body is free of any nasty looking scars or marks. His voice can be rather quiet and soft at times but definitely masculine.

Casually, Kuroi wears a white, thin gi paired with a dark blue hakama. Underneath his gi, he wears a simple white shirt. Over his kimono, Kuroi wears a black haori. For footwear, Kuroi simply wears a pair of white socks and straw sandals. Additionally, Kuroi often wears a helmet over his head that covers his eyes and is shaped in the form of a rabbit. It is made with a combination of leather and rabbit fur. This is most likely to honor his heritage.

When wearing his Battle-Ready attire, Kuroi changes into a black gi and footwear akin to ninja tabi. He also wears a pair of black sode on his shoulders. Underneath his gi he wears a very thin white gi. When prepared for battle, Kuroi changes out his rabbit helmet for a fox mask that covers his face. Additionally, he also wears black wraps that go down his arms and around his hands.

## Background

### History:

* More will be revealed through character interaction
* Born to a blacksmith/champion duelist and a martial arts trainer. Overall raised in a surprisingly well-off environment
* Brought up by his two Vulpine parents in Roshmi City.
* Raised as a martial artist for his entire life but was expected to become a blacksmith.
* Also helped out his father with his blacksmithing business to make money so he could learn to (financially) fend for himself.
* Decided to pursue his father's old life as a tournament duelist instead of becoming a blacksmith as was expected of him.
* Although he did not want a blacksmith's life, he took a great interest in a weapon's functionality and aesthetics. This led him to become a weapon collector in life.
* Began to undergo more intense training upon reaching his thirteenth birthday.
* Began to compete locally in unarmed and weapon-based tournaments at the age of fourteen.
* Began to compete at a regional level at the age of sixteen and at a provincial level at seventeen.
* Began to compete at the equivalent of a semi-national level upon reaching his nineteenth birthday
* Received certification under his mother to teach his family's martial arts for whatever (morally reasonable) purpose.
* Became independent at the age of twenty and sought to explore the world and become a world-renown tournament duelist.
* He also wishes to expose the dirty politics and corruption behind tournaments and their organizations.
* Along the way, Kuroi wishes to collect all sorts of interesting weapons and be able to use his collection to its fullest in combat.
* Truly, he wishes to live his life as best as possible despite the hardships many have to endure. Although he wishes to live away from strife, he will eventually, most likely, feel his heart call him to action for the greater good.

## Combat Information

### Weapons:

Wakizashi, two razor-sharp metal fans, throwing knives, rope darts,

### Physical Strengths:

Kuroi is a proficient hand-to-hand and weapons combatant

He is proficient in using swords, knives, blunt weaponry, throwing weapons, and rope darts

He is also capable of using weapons that require more specialized training (such as kusarigama and karambit knives).

He has striking, grappling, and takedown capabilities but little ground fighting capabilities.

He is an agile, dexterous individual.

As can be expected, he can also be quite stealthy when needed.

Due to his martial arts prowess, he also has a basic understanding of biomechanics.

He's flexible. Although it may not matter to others, it gives him a bit of an advantage when in a grappling or disarming situation.

### Physical Weaknesses:

Kuroi absolutely abhors ground fighting due to his little experience with it. If he's forced to go on the ground, he's taking a weapon with him.

Although he is dexterous and is strong enough to be able to put his skills to use, there are many others far stronger than him. Brute strength isn't something he can rely on often.

Due to being a vulpine, scent and auditory-based attacks can be quite effective on him.

There may be times when Kuroi chooses to be flashy for the sake of being theatrical. This can end up working against him.

### Best Beastial Ability:

Due to being part fox, Kuroi has enhanced senses of hearing and smell. This makes him an excellent sentry.

Kuroi also has enhanced sight which is greater than a regular human's. He is also able to see things quite clearly in the darkness too compared to humans.

He is dexterous and has reflexes beyond that of a regular human due to being part fox. This only further enhances his agility.

## Additional Information

Additionally, he is very fond of meat, fish, and chicken. And ear scratches too. Don't rub his tail though.

Kuroi is 21 years old.
