Profile[]
"A digital being born unintentionally from the struggle of its creator to sing, ready to tackle your negative mood with a sway of beats!"
He's a cheerful guy who lives in the wide net of the digital world, costantly walking over the countless streams of media and passion from users. Not much is known about how he came to be or how he exactly lives, but he's known to be a beam of light and happiness to whoever he meets in his travels around the various digital system of the world.
In his DiffSinger story he successfully receives an android body with visible robotic joints and features while still retaining a more human-like look. His eyes countain cameras and his FOV has a permanent system U.I that he uses to analize the world around him powered by his native OS "WORLD:AI".
The more the AI system advances, the more his body gets human like.
No one knows how or why his personality is extremely advanced, very similar to a human's if not on the same level.
Etymology details[]
- Name: Watanabe (渡辺) - being one of the most common last names in Japan, means "Crossing" and/or "Boundary" when written as 渡辺, symbolizing a crossing of boundaries between the real world and the digital one. Kuro (クロ) - Japanese for "Black", referecing to his obvious hair color.
Character details[]
- Description: Kuro has mid lenght, black hair tied up in a middle-height ponytail with few green hairstrands around, especially in the bangs and tail. His eyes are of a greenish-teal color. His very androgynous appearance often makes people mistake him for a girl, and his painted nails do not help this factor at all. He has a pale skin with freckles on his face and joints, usually covered by some makeup, and has a snake bite piercing on his left lower lip, along with some earrings on his left ear.
- He also has other piercings but rarely shows them or puts them on.
- Outfit: Depending on the voicebank used his outfit may change. His standard SEKAI design (main design) consists of a combo of a gray crop top with a mint-colored hood, with knee-shorts with a cut of light blue in the middle. His feet are covered by a pair of black socks and leather boots who retain luminous elements. His whole outfit is adorned with triangled shaped particles who also have luminous propeties. His MOONLIGHT design consists of an half-buttoned deep blue blouse, blue overrals that fade into a lighter shade of the same color adorned with golden constellation motifs. He wears black mid-heels with gold decor and a jacket over his shoulders that contains a whole nighttime galaxy sky, along with a star badge over the lapel. In this design the ponytail is way longer and reaches just right down his shoulder blades. He also has big loop golden earrings, often hidden by his characteristic long bangs. DIFFSINGER DESIGN NOT AVAILABLE.
