### Appearance

Chapter 1, Origin

**Gren Kurosaki** ( ***黒崎グレン Kurosaki Guren*** ) is the main leading protagonist and is the first son of the Kurosaki Household.

Gren was named by his mother, Akari Kurosaki. While he was still an infant in the delivery room, the window was open and a small branch from a tree landed on his head. His mother decided to name him "*Gren*" translating to "*Branch*".

## Appearance + Equipment

Gren's height is 5'11 ft ( 71 inches ) and weighed 136 pounds at 15. At age 17, his height was 6'1 and weighed 140 pounds. At age 24, he weighed 147 pounds. At age 42, he weighed 154 pounds.

At the beginning of the series, Gren has spiky, pointed purple hair with red stripes that he dyed at the ends of his bangs. After the end of the Phantom Hood Arc his hair turns black with a purple gradient with the same red stripes as a visual after-effect of his *flawed* Limit Break Form. His left eye is a dark crimson-red color, while his right eye, which is often covered by a black eyepatch, is an enchanted eye with a bright-violet color. This eye emits a dark violet glow, and has an insignia on it.

During his younger years, he often wore the same clothes. Those clothes were a purple t-shirt, which he placed under a pitch-black trench coat that reached down to his upper calf. He accompanied this outfit with black boots. He has many sets of this same outfit.

During Gren's adulthood, he wears a purple scarf given to him as a gift from Cotton Murasame along with a black trench coat with true dark-purple lining and trimming, along with purple arm guards covered by his undercoat with a purple-plated vest. His pants are a little more bulky than the sweatpants he wears as casual wear. He also wears black gloves that reveal the ends of his fingers. He does not wear the eyepatch anymore, but instead keeps his right eye closed most of the time. His right eye was damaged during his battle with Hooded. The eye itself has been healed since then, but left a scar going vertically down his face. There's also a tiny scar on his left cheek.

As for the equipment Gren uses, he carries the Sword Relic, *Muramasa*. He is also equipped with other magic swords such as *Kagutsuchi*, *Narukami*, and *Chronos*. He can also access Astaroth’s time scythe, “*Astaroth*.” Some none-magical weapons he has are the dual daggers, *Fujin* and *Raijin.* He also has the poison knife, *Hassan*. Accessory-wise, he is equipped with a necklace called *The Charm of Recuperation*, which he recieved from Horan. He wears an earpiece on his right side for his job. During his travels his wore the *Mask of Concealment* to keep his identity from being discovered.

## Personality

Gren is often portrayed as a slacker, or just someone who can't bother enough to care. Similar to his aunt, he is extremely lazy and is often heard saying things along the lines of "that's a lot of work". Aside from this, he is someone who is confident in his own abilities, which is put on display in his Student Council work. The only problematic tendency he has is his foul language, which he's often reprimanded for by Cotton and Horan. When it comes to combat, his senses and on-the-spot-thinking are unparalleled to any member of the Black Monolith Guild, including all the Ten Commandments. When he was younger, out of worry of being killed by Hooded, he had learned to analyze each and every detail of the event taking place in order to take the best course of action. Overall, he's a very reliable person to have on the battlefield and is considered one of the many individuals who would be able to be named a one man army.

Despite all of this, when anything involves romance, he is extremely dense. Before the Auta Island incident, Gren had zero knowledge about the topic of love. Even when he was given extremely obvious hints, he wouldn't pick up on them. It wasn’t until Ayame made him self-conscious and aware about his feelings for Cotton that he was able to grasped the concept of love.

Gren is often patient. As an example, while he teaches, if he recognizes that others are struggling, he is willing to give them some time to improve. On the contrary, when anyone close to him is injured or threatened, his large amount of patience is thrown out of the window, to a degree where it seems like it never existed to begin with. He often has no restraint beating up this type of opponent, and his wives are the people that have to stop him from going too far.

## Property

### Mansion

Gren owns different plots of property over the course of many years. His first piece being the manor that was given by the Fiore Kingdom’s Empress, Iris V. Fiore. After Yui Kurosaki, Gren’s aunt, had saved the kingdom’s princess, she was allowed to have any request. She herself couldn’t decide so she asked to allow her niece and nephew to decide. At that request Touka Kurosaki, being four years of age, shouted that she wanted to live in a big mansion. The mansion itself was of high quality within the mansion and outside the mansion.

### Black Monolith Guild Hall

After Gren’s graduation he decided to become an adventurer. At the time it seemed like the most profitable. During his dungeon raiding he realized there were too many people participating to be considered a party. After being influenced by his fiancee, Cotton Murasame, and friend, Miu Yuuki, he decided to form a guild. However since there was nowhere for a guild hall. Gren had decided to sell the manor and purchase a piece of land. There he started constructing the guild hall. Due to his many companions he was able to finish its construction in no time at all.

### Heiwa Village

After the construction of the Black Monolith Guild Hall he realized there were too many members to be living in a single building. He decided to expand. He built a small village as a home for all the members of the guild. He had built many houses along with other buildings such as a storage house and a blacksmith’s shop. After the construction of the homes Tomoe asked to build an orphanage for the children she had been taking care of. As a precaution Gren had built other empty homes and shops in case another request was asked, but mostly because he did not want to build anymore homes. After a while it seemed like the village was populated with rescued demi-human slaves from the Yuki Kingdom and the Black Monolith guild. No one had dared to try invading the village since most of the strongest mages resided in that area.

### Heaven's Diner

It is a diner opened by Gren, Lilith, Lydia, Sumire and Mizu after the Cursed Labyrinth arc. It was established so Gren could make some kinsen since he had spent too much on his card and didn't want to go broke. It was originally in district nine’s shopping area and was a big hit as well. He had moved it to Heiwa village due to his laziness to travel almost everyday to work at the diner. He almost had his adventurer job to top it off so it was easier to have the diner closer to both of his jobs.

## Limit Break

During his battle with Hooded, Gren undergoes a partial transformation. The transformation turned the favor of the fight in Gren's favor by a large portion, exponentially increasing his own power, leading him to win the battle. When Gren starts this tranformation, his mana pathways glow brightly and physically transform his body. In its partial transformation, Gren’s Limit Break drains the color out of his skin rapidly, along with his hair turning a much darker shade. In its full transformation, he acquires a mask that covers his entire face, leaving an opening only for his left eye. It bears a striking visual similarity to the *Mask of Concealment*. The Mana he protrudes in this form is so powerful, it becomes visible, surrounding him with a white aura. Since his first Limit Break was flawed it left his hair permanently changed. It now has a near-full black color with a slightly dark purple gradient.

### Form Abilities

Gren's limit break gives him access to special abilities. He has access to all abilities that a standard Limit Break provides, that being a larger mana pool, increased mana output, increased fire power, and an overall physical strength and defense increase, by a drastic amount.

Every Limit Break comes with their own special abilities that are exclusive and unique to the user. It is like having a personal magic. Gren's unique limit break ability is his ability is named “**Absolute Nullification**”. Absolute nullification's ability is active during the entirety of his Limit Break. The effect makes any magic or object that interacts with Gren gets near-completely nullified. This passive ability also applies to his weapon- he is able to nullify any magic or object that interacts with his weapon

### Weapon Awakening

After Gren used his limit break, his Chronos started to change. Within the inner-world, he no longer saw Chronos; rather, he saw the spirit dwelling within his right eye, Astaroth, in place of it. Astaroth reveals Chronos is a familiar of hers. Astaroth explains that from now on, instead of Chronos appearing in the inner world, she would appears. In the outer world Chronos' physical body, being a sword, changes from a katana to a scythe. The katana can still be called upon when using the command, “**Form Change, Chronos**”.

His relic, **Muramasa**, is awakened due to the overload of mana. The black blade turns into a crimson red color. The blade itself is cursed. Due to the creator of the sword's madness, he placed the curse into the sword to prevent any overwhelming feelings towards himself. The result produced Muramasa. The blade itself is as fine as a normal sword. However, when the sword is in it's awakened state, it seems like a conscious being. Gren can constantly hear whispers craving blood and killing running through his head when he uses the blade in its awakened form. The curse on the blade causes Gren to have increased bloodlust- urging him to kill others brutally. Other than its overwhelming bloodlust, it comes with a new set of abilities. The mana that's stored deep within the origin of the sword gives Gren access to a new skill called “**Weapon Tracing**.” The blade has the ability to copy another blade and morph itself as a copied product. Any blade copied is stored within the sword’s memory, allowing Gren to call upon that certain blade whenever and wherever he sees fit.
