Kuro

Kuro Ōgama

Gender: Genderless (Formerly Male)

Age: ??? (25 when he was "frozen")

Meister: Alternating. It's rare he'll keep one for more than a few threads.

Weapon Form:
~The Black Bloodied Scythe~
Kuro can take the form of multiple scythe-type weapons. In his main form he becomes a large, fully black scythe with a steel handle and a slightly curved blade. The blade of the scythe is connected to the pole by a hardened black material in the shape of a circle with three red "claws" protruding from the rear. There is a red gem in the center of the circle on either side.

He can also take the form of two slightly smaller versions of the large scythe by making small incisions in the meister's palm. Another form is to extend the handle and add a second scythe head, facing opposite the first, on the bottom.

Appearance:
Kuro can take many forms but he prefers to take one of two:

A black python with red eyes that varies in size, depending on how many souls he's obtained. This form may protrude from any cut on the meister's body.

A large humanoid form with a horn on either side of his head and red eyes. It has a mouth and often sticks out it's tongue. It's muscles and size grow depending on soul count.

Kuro has a third form that will replace the python upon becoming a Demon Blade. The Black Leviathan. Kuro takes the form of a giant snake. (About 25 feet in length) He has a row of red spikes that extend from the back of it's head and large red gems for eyes. It has large sharp teeth and extends from his meister's back. With every 20 souls after the first 100, it grows 1 foot. (So if it's 25 feet at 100 it'd be 30 feet at 200)

Personality: Despite his outward appearance, Kuro gets along quite well with others. He tends capable of compassion, even if he insults you. Which he will do... a lot. He likes to pick at others' flaws, including his meister. If, however, you can earn his respect, he will probably never throw another insult your way as long as you live. He also has a strange craving for potato chips, despite not requiring food to live since he gets everything he needs from his meister or the current animal he's in. He may often try to pressure his meister into getting souls for him.

Likes: Potato chips, sticking his tongue out, souls, and fighting.

Dislikes: Rebellious meisters, long periods of waiting, and talking about his past.

History: Got your popcorn ready? Good, because I'm going to tell you a story. A story of failure, success, and tragedy. Ready? Ok.

There once was a child, but not just any child. No, this child was a weapon. A very smart young weapon with rich parents. This young child's name was Joshua Fulton. Now Joshua had been raised with science, his father was a scientist, his grandfather was a scientist, even his great grandfather had studied it. Joshua's father died when Joshua was 13 due to a lab accident. After that Joshua became obsessed with immortality, studying day in and day out to find a way to make it possible. Eventually, at age 16 he found a long term partner and scythe meister named, Roger. Roger was just as obsessed as Joshua when it came to immortality and so, the two worked together, studying endlessly. Joshua studied in Japan for a few years and Roger in England, eventually meeting up again and founding a research lab in South America together.

After that things really started getting weird. Joshua began acting strange, every time something would fail he'd freak out and trash his room. Roger began to worry about him and asked to take a break from research. Joshua became angry with Roger and after a long fight, Roger left. Joshua continued studies until news came in from the DWMA. They had sent him a black blood sample from a meister and told him nothing more of the matter. After some analyzing he was able to re-create the substance. He discovered that it had amazing abilities. Then it dawned on him... What if he could create an entire body from this stuff and transfer a soul? He quickly called Roger and told him to come over quick.

When Roger arrived from the US a few days later, he questioned Joshua's sanity. Joshua wanted him to melt his scythe form into the black blood. At first, Roger denied completely. Finally Joshua got mad and gave Roger no choice, transforming into scythe form and falling into the melting device. Roger panicked, quickly following the procedure Joshua had written down in an attempt to save his friend. The end result was Joshua becoming a living mass of black blood. Though it was small, Joshua was alive. He couldn't move on his own, so Roger took a temporary host position, keeping Joshua hidden inside him for some time.

Joshua still wasn't satisfied. Why stop at immortality when you could reach a power rivaling gods? Joshua began pressuring Roger, telling him to kill people he didn't want to kill. Roger eventually broke, killing 15 people in total. Roger was fed up with killing innocents, he found a witch who purged his body of the black blood, which manifested itself as Joshua's new scythe form. Roger dug the scythe into a rock and the witch cast a spell which bound Joshua with chains that would freeze him as he was at that point in time. The plan was to leave Joshua, who has since decided to go by Kuro Ōgama (Black Scythe in Japanese), in the middle of that forest forever since the only way to break the spell was for someone to touch the scythe. That was a long time ago. Kuro's soul wavelength had recently been causing local animals to go a bit bonkers, drawing attention that part of the forest. Soon a man found it and, out of sheer curiosity, touched the handle. Kuro was taken into his body, then moved from him to a small lizard before scurrying away. With the lizard's body, there's no telling where he could be now. Though he's most likely still in South America.

With that, we conclude our story. Did you enjoy it?

Miscellaneous:
•Kuro can move from body to body at will. (With the person who controls the character's permission of course.)
•Kuro can completely possess very small animals like lizards and frogs.
•Having Kuro in your body gives you limited use of the black blood abilities, bloody needles and hardening your blood but both would have to be done by Kuro. More moves may be obtained every ten souls souls.
