“What makes you think I'd have a "Favorite phrase" what even is that”
—Favorite phrase

Kuroda (黒田) is one hell of a guy!

History

Kuroda was born and raised in a small farming town far away from the city, where he was taught the importance of self-sustenance and independence. He made it an important part of his character to trust others selectively, and to rely on nobody but himself. As Kuroda grew older and learned more about himself, he grew apart even from his family, and decided it would be best to move somewhere with more opportunities. He found himself serving in the military for a short time, and returning home to do mechanic work.

Having grown into a respectable man, Kuroda began to enjoy his day to day life, and embrace his hobbies a bit more. Working out to improve his daunting appearance became daily, as well as practicing his guitar skills on the down-low. Slowly, yet surely he has begun to settle down a bit in his life. Mental struggles keep him on his toes, but his ability to cope with that, and move forward only grows stronger with the days.

Personality

Seeming to be a cocky, unfriendly man, Kuroda spends most of his days alone. When in public or around others, he's quick to show off his physical prowess, and take control of whatever situation he might find himself in, as he'd much rather be the one making decisions over anyone else. That being said, he's just as quick to get hostile with someone who might challenge that, which might make him appear pretty controlling and quite intimidating. While all of that is true, Kuroda has a huge fear of relying on anyone else, feeling as if he's the only person who truly has "Kuroda's" best interest at heart.

On the brighter side, if someone manages not to clash with him too much, and befriends him, Kuroda almost instantly becomes highly protective. His typical cocky nature is amplified, and you'll often find him playfully teasing those who seem intimidated by him. But at the end of the day, those who he defines as 'friends' become very important to him, and while he may not be the best at showing it, he's thinking it.

Concept

Kuroda's physical design is inspired by modern takes of the werewolf, as well as some current rock, and punk bands.

Appearance

Kazuki Unmei- A close friend he likes to keep an eye on.
Okie Sanford- She seems to upset him.

-Kuroda had a simple childhood, living with his two parents. He always aspired to be someone important, and looked up to his Father immensely. In his teenage years, he lost his father and promptly took his place in the village military. It didn't take him long to move up the ranks, since this role became what his life revolved around.
