[Finished] Kuroi Naito

• Name: Kuroi Naito
-Aliases: Black Knight | Invincible Black Swordsman
• True Age: 612
• Appearance Age: 24
• Gender: Male
• Orientation: Shadow Espada, Shadowfall.



• Appearance: Kuroi's shoulders begin at a certain, almost egotistical seeming broadness, his body bragging just a bit about the muscularity that is visible despite the outfit that he has adorned. It is almost uncanny how those of greatest power always turn out to seem, at least to some degree, "So good looking" as an old lady reminiscing would say. Of course, there are plenty of men more attractive than Kuroi, but of course it should also be noted that there are plenty of men less attractive than Kuroi. He is certainly better off than average, however.

There was once a deep gashing scar on his back, inflicted years earlier by Adalo De-Mona in a battle. This scar of Kuroi's was large, bursting red, and plainly there. Of many markings that faded from his body over time, this one took a long time before it faded, and it seemed that it could be there forever. Inflicted by a vicious enemy that Kuroi once met in the sands of Hueco Mundo, this scar was what represented Kuroi's rise to the top. In recent years, it has faded. After all, with strength, Kuroi's code changed too. Scars on the back are a swordsman's shame.

Kuroi's skin tone lies somewhere a bit hard to place. Pale, but not sheet white, and certainly tanned just a bit, but not quite what one would call absolutely noticeable. Perhaps, looking back, Kuroi's skin is basically like a Japanese average male's. In color, this seems to be fitting, though perhaps even the slightest tinge darker than this. Kuroi's constant exposure to wild sunlight in his human life left him with a complexion like this, though of course his lack of sunlight exposure in Hueco Mundo robbed him of a bit of tanning, as it does for most.

Kuroi's toned muscles and powerful body indicate a physical existence within his prime. The arm muscles, toned and full of "ceps" and octaves of visible power are quite clearly muscular, plainly seen even if Kuroi doesn't flex. Though, it should be noted that the true steel might becomes apparent when he flexes. He isn't so muscular that veins explode out when he flexes, as such is simply disgusting, but Kuroi is at least someone that is well endowed with his muscular body. Many of this "profession" are like this from constant battle.

His chest is very well endowed, large and wide when one looks at his blazing strong pecks, iron and solid, powerful. Kuroi's stomach is of course toned and ground into steel, flexing or not, in a solid pack that is eight. An eight pack, as they say. His rigorous training and missions have put him into this sort of powerful muscular ability and physique. It is of course quite impressive. Were it not for his "charming" personality, certainly many girls wouldn't mind having him in bed. On the other hand, the "darker" women probably still wouldn't mind at all.

Kuroi's training regiment that brought him to said physique includes 3000 daily push-ups, 5000 daily sit-ups, 2000 daily pull-ups, 10,000 daily squats and jumping jacks both, and other exercises. To practice his swordplay, Kuroi practices his kata sequences by swinging around a large, very lengthy bench press bar with quite a few weights attached to it. Though the initial weight varies, it's noted that Kuroi typically swings around over a hundred pounds as a total. His physical strength isn't the best among the Espada, as he focused on other aspects, but it's enough for him to swing his now "light" swords very quickly.

Kuroi's head is averagely sized and shaped, with a gaunt shaping and cold, dark red eyes. His eyes are frightening even from first glance, menacing, emotionless, cold as stone or marble. The only emotion ever seen in his eyes is vague and mild interest. His feelings are absolutely hidden, and he has the eyes of a demon. Tenderness in his eyes is an improbability, and has typically only been noted towards one person existing, which could well be counted as a weakness, though according to a certain human it is a strength.

Kuroi's mouth is normal, but it bares no crinkles at all, not even slightly, which signifies that he rarely smiles. His hair is jet black, and short-medium, unruly and just growing out and thickening. It's a bit rough and fuzzy, but overall looks quite nice on him. On the other hand, when one says that he "rarely smiles", it should be considered that occasionally he gives a small, calm, confident smile as he is confident of his victory or success. Sometimes, he'll even give a wide grin for a good fight, or a good challenge. This grin of course is rare, as Kuroi seems to rarely consider things challenging.

Though in later years he has indeed learned what it is to feel hatred, and rage, he uses them from an unemotional standpoint. He uses them as tools to help magnify his aggression, and inflict pain and injury on his enemies. Essentially, Kuroi does not exactly have a particular emotion that he shows. Perhaps it is arrogance, perhaps impertinence. In reality, Kuroi does smile sometimes, but most of the time he is calm, reserved, and cold. Most of the time, he is devoid of most emotions other than things like this.

Kuroi wears dark black dress shoes, as well as black dress pants with pockets. He wears a long, white, and buttoned up khaki shirt over his torso, and over that he wears a black three button blazer suit jacket, unbuttoned. He is generally seen with his hands in his pockets. Kuroi's Zanpakutō is kept within a dark black glove that he wears over his right hand. These are special "summoning gloves", and it is a special type of silk as well. These allow him to pull his Zanpakutō out of his reiatsu, as in fact Kuroi is the only Espada capable of containing his own Zanpakutō inside of himself. He has two gloves, one on each hand, and a spare glove within the folds of his suit. His belt has slots for each Ring that he has, one Coating Ring and one Storage Ring. The storage ring contains his tiger hook sword.

Across his body Kuroi once had scars from parts of his Ressurection, which had embedded scars on him. Now however, in recent years, they have come to fade, and can no longer be seen. This is because Kuroi's power has eroded them, and he has surpassed his previous self. But, he also has other things. Directly visible around Kuroi's hollow hole, which is located on the center of his chest, is a pattern of three black stars, set in a triangular position. It isn't certain exactly what the stars are, though Kuroi himself actually knows. Nobody else has figured out what the stars mean around Kuroi's hollow hole. When asked about them, Kuroi replies with two simple words. "God's Vanity."

He is young looking, ranging from at around 24, though his age very difficult to determine. It can be assumed from his appearance and apparent age that he is in his physical prime, even though as a being he is far older then his appearance lets on. Still, one cannot deny that Kuroi is also good looking, and a significant catch to the ladies[and some of the homosexual men.] However, he has no interest in these things since he still holds the memories of pain from his human life. And, due to the general lack of emotion, any attraction that Kuroi poses tends to wither away very quickly.

Of course, being good looking is no good if one does not take advantage of it. Most will actually find Kuroi rather unappealing because of the fact that he is adamantly bordered with his unemotional face, and the monotone of cold ice that he displays. Essentially the fact that he is emotionless, cold, and negative all reflect badly on what people think of him. Then again, it doesn't matter since they are almost always constantly fearing him.

Kuroi keeps his twin wakizashi stored in hidden pockets within his blazer, much unknown to most people. At the same time, Kuroi wears his Storage Ring on his left hand ring finger if it isn't on his belt, and this is what contains his tiger hook sword. Kuroi has numerous weapons with which he deals with an enemy, meaning that he does not immediately use his Zanpakutō. However, when he summons his Zanpakutō, it is black reiatsu that extends out of his palm, and shapes into the blade that he kills with.

Also, located on the back of Kuroi's left hand, is Kuroi's calligraphically planted Espada number. He is the Segunda Espada, and so a nice calligraphic "2" is planted visibly across Kuroi's palm. This is what really makes him frightening. While it is difficult to distinguish power between the top 3, Kuroi is most certainly the strongest of the high tier Espada. None can deny this, and any of the Espada that try to reject it tend to end up dead, defeated, and utterly broken.

• Bone Appearance: In recent years, the position of his mask fragment has changed. His mask is a white fragment going around the behind of his left ear. His hair covers it. It was once something going across his chin, but that is no longer the case. Kuroi's mask fragment actually cannot be seen unless he shows it to someone. It's almost like an ear ring that's hard to see. It is from some kind of lion-like appearance. The reality behind his changed mask fragment location is his increase in strength, which made it smaller and less noticeable. Obviously of course, his mask fragment can be seen whenever his hair moves. And part of it, pointing at the earlobe like an ear ring, can of course be caught in view by anyone.

• Hollow Hole: Centre of the Chest, averagely about mid-sternum.

• Reiatsu Colour: Kuroi's reiatsu is predominantly black. However, it has a unique appearance. When Kuroi flares his reiatsu for dramatic effect or similar, it is swirls of black energy around his body, along with some gray and white steam, as well as black steam. On top of that, Kuroi's reiatsu seems to have some kind of dramatic "raven-like" appearance, for black ravens materialize out of his reiatsu, either made of energy, or appearing to be actual ravens, flying around him. Black feathers made of actual feather or made of reiatsu gently cascade all around Kuroi. He can even use this reiatsu as a distraction. His killing aura is unlike anything anyone has ever seen.

Hollow Appearances:

Personality: He is a cold man that shows no emotions whatsoever on the visible surface. Inside, he is a turmoil of depression and other emotions that come as a result of his being despairing, lonely, and angry, hateful. Kuroi on the outside will show only vague or mild interest in his eyes, even when he visibly shows other emotions. It is also shown that he is interested by deeper, more philosophical things, as well as power. His main interests and likes seem to focus around things he does not have, does not have often, or is usually deprived of. Kuroi's main dislikes appear to be things that can remind him of his fears.

In pressurizing situations, Kuroi is easily calm. In battle, he keeps his cool and focuses on the situation, analyzing things while also moving and fighting on instinct. He would rather fight with one hand, and keep the other in his pocket. He believes that most opponents are super weak and thus that fighting them is a hassle, so he does not even want to use Reiatsu or draw his sword for them. However, with rare exceptions, Kuroi will lose all composure and enter into a hate filled, joy filled, and rage filled blood lust with no distinguishable one emotion, and a contorted face that reveals just how much he will enjoy the kill. His power seems to triple during this phase, though in actuality he just grows far more aggressive.

Kuroi's fear of the dark is mainly because of his fear of loneliness and isolation, and so he avoids darker places, though he never shows his fear, and will forge on ahead past his fears in the presence of others, if only to prove himself. It is pier pressure so to speak, though he regards most as his inferiors and not his piers, though he still proves things to them.

Kuroi's blood lust phase, in more detail, is something that can also pass as insanity. His eyes grow wide, his voice moves to yells, and he gains an insane, and rather creepy smile. Kuroi's teeth all the while seem bared and sharp, despite being normal. It is probably something to do with how much of a threat he poses in his blood lust, because injuries and setbacks do not phase Kuroi at all when he battles in the blood lust phase. Moreover, Kuroi is in terrible danger of getting himself killed because of the recklessness that comes with such a blood lust. In recent years, his bloodlust phase has been suppressed completely. Kuroi is able to ignore it on his own whim.

Kuroi is far, far too arrogant. I am the best, I am the strongest, none is stronger than I, I am invincible, I cannot fail. Such slogans come to him like tears to an infant. He secretly believes that despite the number of Espada he has prepared himself for, he deserves to be the undisputed ruler and King of Hueco Mundo. Somehow, this makes Kuroi seem to have no ego, though probably because he hides most of his arrogance, until of course he meets an opponent. He believes he deserves to be King, but he doesn't want to be King. Ironic.

One of Kuroi's most central traits is a hatred of the Shinigami. If he could, he would invade and obliterate Seireitei. But, despite Kuroi's arrogance, even he knows that he is no match for all of the Captains and Shinigami of The Gotei Thirteen. Of course, Kuroi could always attempt it, and there is no doubt that he'd take out at least a few decent people, but it is unlikely that he'd get any farther than that. It is in recent years that he has learned how to give a confident smile during battle, and act more confidently than he did even before.

Also coming to Kuroi in recent years, the obvious dignity that has come with a new rank appearing. Before, Kuroi was able to give the excuse that he liked to orchestrate things from the shadows, and the darkness. But of course, now he knows that that is stupid, and foolish. To really change things, one must step into the light. Kuroi has stepped into the light now, and has begun his direct assault of everything. He doesn't have any plans of stepping down any time soon.

His confident smile still appears, though now he does have more confidence than before, and a direct charisma when it comes to the defeating of enemies. He knows that to change things, there is no reason for him to back down and slink into darkness, manipulating it from there. While once he believed it all added up, now he knows differently. It doesn't add up fast enough, nor does it do so efficiently enough. The best thing to do is to install one's mechanisms in the background, so that they work in the shadows while one is working in the light as well.

Kuroi works in the light now, destroying threats, and obviously orchestrating the power of Las Noches. But, having others installed in the shadows, Kuroi is now working on both frontiers. Quite clearly, the Queen won't be too pleased with that happens. Kuroi won't stop until he has gotten what he wants. Of course, he has no intention of becoming the King of Hueco Mundo. The Queen rarely does anything, and rarely gets to act. The Queen has too many enemies. Kuroi will never take hold of such a spot. He will always be a follower of the Queen. But, he will kill a queen that is too weak.

Kuroi is also starting to show new vestiges of true emotions. These vestiges include caring, and bonds. Advised by his servant Nishiru Tokoheita to gather bonds, and challenged by Nishiru and Grimoire both and their insane strength, Kuroi has gotten stronger claiming it was for his own reasons. However, much of the time he has done it over his newfound bonds, caring, and love. Kuroi's strength rises constantly. His improvement rate? Massive. Incalculable. Far beyond anyone else, for certain.

In light of this, Kuroi's newfound powers, attitudes, and other things have shown him the way to greatness. Against Kuroi, there are none that pose a threat anymore. No longer can a Captain from the Gotei Thirteen fight on par with Kuroi. It is an impossibility, and just does not happen. Kuroi is strong, that much is clear, obvious. No one is capable of defeating him. Not Kuroi, at any rate. And anyone that's going to try, back off or face death. That would be his arrogance talking.

Human Life

Kuroi Naito was born in 1790 to Caucasian parents. Both were Americans, and their original names were Nate River and Sara Johnson. However, upon moving to Japan a year before Kuroi's birth, the two quickly renamed themselves so that they could fit in better. They gave Kuroi a Japanese name as well. Being a foreigner, Kuroi had some trouble making friends. Kuroi was soon picked on constantly. He hated being picked on, but there was really nothing that he could do about it, the bully was a lot bigger than he was, and probably stronger too. Kuroi got pushed around, and eventually he got tired of it. He went out, and started looking for someone that could teach him the basics of fighting. It didn't take him long before he located a man called Shizu Koban.

Shizu Koban taught Kuroi how to fight decently over the course of the next month. He gave him enough skills to confront and fight the bully. Kuroi returned to school, bigger, stronger, more confident than ever. There, he demanded for the bully to fight him later, after schoolling. The bully agreed, and as the day of schooling and education ended, Kuroi and The Bully went off to behind a nearby building in order to square off. They did it with many people watching, which was what created a tragic ending to what should've been a happy ending later.

Confrontation with Bully:

Kuroi pulled up his fists, and planted his feet, sending the power down into his legs and hips as he bent his knees. He took on a horse stance, and smashed his fists together, before raising them up in front of his face. Despite being prepared over the last few months, Kuroi still had doubts. The bully was twice his size, at least, and easily twice his weight as well. Kuroi would have a very difficult time despite his skills. He was confident, but not confident enough to believe that he'd get out of this fight unscathed. Kuroi wanted to get out unscathed, though he knew he wouldn't.

"Are you ready for defeat?" Kuroi asked. The Bully grinned. "I will disgrace your family with this victory." he said. Kuroi bounded forwards, punching the Bully straight in the face. A shattering noise occurred, followed by a spray of blood. The Bully grabbed Kuroi out of the air, and shoved him into the ground, starting to punch his face. Kuroi looked up. He'd broken The Bully's nose. Kuroi felt a flame of pride roar through his body, stopping all of the pain that the Bully was inflicting on him.

Kuroi shoved the Bully off, and stood up. He dove at his enemy, double kicking him in the chest, and launching off. He back flipped in mid air, landing on his feet. He charged forward again, and punched The Bully in the face once more. "I AM TIRED OF YOU DISHONORING ME!" Kuroi shouted. "TODAY I WILL DISHONOR YOU IN FRONT OF ONE HUNDRED OF OUR PIERS!" He began rapidly punching the Bully in the face, before rolling off, and grabbing the Bully's left arm.

Kuroi secured his palm in a press against the elbow, and locked his arm around the wrist. He pushed on both, opposing forces pressing on the arm. Within a few moments, a snapping sound occurred, and The Bully screamed as his arm was broken. Kuroi quickly punched his open mouth, knocking out a couple of teeth to shut him up. Kuroi went to the other arm, and locked that too. He broke that arm as well, issuing screams from the Bully.

Kuroi next moved to the left leg, securing the knee joint and the ankle. He pushed, and snapped the leg, breaking it as the Bully screamed in his obvious pain. Kuroi wasn't done yet. He was going to break all of the Bully's limbs. "This is what happens!" he shouted. He broke the Bully's other leg as well, fulfilling the defeat. Kuroi quickly stood up, and kicked the Bully in the head as hard as he could.

There was stunned silence, and people began backing away. "You're a freak!" someone exclaimed. "What have you done?!" another demanded. Kuroi was shocked, horrified. Why was everyone doing this to him?! He'd thought that he was proving himself in honor! Everybody hated him for it! What was the point of any of this at all?!


Kuroi was ignored, isolated in a cold icy feeling by everyone that he knew. Nobody would speak to him, or even look at him. Kuroi simply did not exist to anybody else it seemed. As a result, he grew depressed, and he grew tired of living in that time period. He decided that he must die, simply to put himself out of his misery. They rejected him, causing him to go off and try to bury himself in ice. He was frozen, and somehow lived through the ice. It was uncertain how, for scientifically it was known that he should not have survived that. He awoke over a hundred years later, still a child. He wandered to an orphanage in Japan, where he was quickly taken in. After a year or so there, Kuroi was taken in by new parents. He was happy, people actually accepted him.

He had trouble adjusting and making more friends, but that did not stop him from making two best friends, Miharu Jonuchi and Shikisan Kokaru, along with his dog Candy. Kuroi grew up with a normal childhood for the most part. When Candy died of old age, he was crushed, utterly saddened. This incident however, brought him even closer to one of his two best friends, Miharu Jonuchi. The two of them started dating, and on numerous occasions expressed their love to each other physically. After over ten years of dating, Kuroi selected his other friend, Shikisan, as his best man, and proposed to Miharu, who whole heartedly agreed. It was during that time however, that Kuroi was pulled into the Japanese Military to fight for land during the first World War. He came out as a Colonel then, and he settled with his family.

War fragment:

Kuroi hid behind a large rock, holding his gun. In this world, there is no God. All religion is wrong. I am here, away from my family, fighting for a cause that I do not even believe in myself. Kuroi propped himself up, aimed at someone's head, and fired. The bullet lodged into their forehead, spraying blood everywhere. Kuroi ducked back down, the spray of bullets that came after him hitting the rock instead. Kuroi moved back up, and started shooting again.

He took two more people, before at last a bullet struck him in the shoulder. Kuroi cried out in pain, and dropped behind the rock. "KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE GLORY OF JAPAN AND FOR OUR GREAT EMPEROR!" someone shouted near Kuroi, obviously seeing him take the injury. Kuroi, forced to do this, took out a tool, and began fishing painfully through his wound with tweezers.

He pulled the bullet out, and tossed it aside. He put the tweezers away, and went back to shooting. The pain made Kuroi slightly delirious, made it painful to move his arm and squeeze the trigger. His aim was slightly off, shooting was becoming difficult. Soon, the war would consume and kill Kuroi if he was not treated. He ripped part of his shirt off, and tightened it in a bandage around his wound, making sure to do this so that he did not end up dying of blood loss.

Kuroi went back to shooting, and took out several more people. He then ran out of bullets, and out of clips. Kuroi cursed, and, taking his bayonet, rushed out from hiding. "FOR JAPAN!" he shouted, stabbing his bayonet into someone's heart. He ripped it out, snapping the bayonet cleanly off of his gun and slashing at someone else's throat with it. Kuroi was covered in blood. He was suddenly tackled by someone, and he began stabbing at them with the bayonet snappage. The person knocked the bayonet out of his hand, and Kuroi whipped out his knife.

He began slashing violently, but he was parried by a knife as well. Kuroi flipped the person off of him, and stabbed. By unfortunate chance, a bullet hit Kuroi dead in the gut, and he screamed, dropping to his knees in pain, and crumpling to the floor. The person had a chance to get up, and attack Kuroi again. He weakly parried and moved away, barely defending himself. However, by chance, his adversary was also hit by a bullet. Kuroi, rejoicing in his luck, shoved his blade into his enemy's forehead. He left it there, and latched onto another nearby enemy.

He wrapped his hands around his enemy's neck, and began to squeeze. The person that he was strangling reached up for him as well, but Kuroi was incredibly overpowering despite being injured. He continued his assault over the person, and within mere seconds, the person that Kuroi had been strangling was dead. This was good. Kuroi had managed to kill the person. Still, war was difficult.


Kuroi spent many happy years in both his marriage, and with a child that he and Miharu conceived. Eventually however, Kuroi was called away once more, this time to face American Forces for WWII. Kuroi was proud to serve Japan, and he was even promoted to General. He promised Miharu that they'd never be separated again when he returned. While Kuroi was out however, The Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, killing his friends and family. In rage, Kuroi attempted to murder several top class Japanese figures, whom he blamed since they did not back down when they had the chance. He failed, and was almost caught and arrested.

WWII Fragment:

"THOSE DOGS INVADE OUR HOME!" Kuroi shouted. "GO NOW, FOR THE GLORY OF JAPAN, AND KILL ALL OF THEM!" Japanese soldiers rushed out upon his command, going off to shoot at people. He wore his clothing, and he stood upon a tower. He seemed invincible, and his iron will allowed him to not budge a single inch no matter what happened. Stone hard discipline over several years allowed him to take anything that was thrown at him without much visible turmoil. Internally there was turmoil, but externally he was a fiery beacon for courage.

"Focus your return cannon efforts on the ground behind their lines." Kuroi commanded confidently. "It does not matter if you hit any of them or not. Do not stop bombarding until I give the word." His voice was a thunderous blast, echoing to everyone's ears. And yet, the enemy was deaf to his commands, not knowing of his plans. A blade flew straight towards Kuroi, and his left hand flicked up, catching it an inch before it hit his eye. A bullet slammed into his arm dead on, and he hurled the blade away right after. He seemed undamaged as he returned his hands to the position before, and did not move back even a centimeter. His arm was bleeding and was visibly trembling a bit, but when he spoke, his voice held no pain. "Grenade Squad, break their lines in the top and bottom with your basic grenade launchers, then scatter the center with the more advanced rocket launchers." Kuroi looked around. War was going well.


Sex scene between Kuroi and Miharu. Don't read this if you don't feel up to this kind of stuff. It's really detailed and stuff. Perverts unite. Mainly I'm posting this to fluff out my history so that it's got tons more detail than before and I have a better chance at good ranking.

18+:

Kuroi managed to escape, and he went off to America, where he lived for a couple of years. He found a new girl, who he told of his exploits after some time of dating. Through a healing process of love and care, the girl brought Kuroi out of his depression, and he fell in love with her. He proposed to the girl, who refused him. Kuroi was crushed, but said he didn't want to lose her as a friend. Later, when the two of them visited Japan, she turned him over to The Japanese Authorities, who jailed him. Kuroi spent many cold years in Jail fending for himself, his hatred and anger growing. When he got out, he immediately went looking for the girl. Kuroi spent many months searching, and also looking for the reason why. It turned out that there had been a large reward for the one that could bring him in, and this shot pain through Kuroi. A loving friend, a girl that had cared for and nurtured him with such kindness, had turned out to be scum that would sell him out purely for money. Kuroi was disgusted, and he was infuriated.

Kuroi spent only one more month looking for her. He started tracing her through means of her relatives, whom she had given very good details on during their friendship. It took Kuroi a while, and he ended up murdering most of her relatives that he visited, but at last, Kuroi was told which family member would know where she was. Kuroi found this family member, her great aunt, and convinced the great aunt to tell simply by threatening the life of the girl's sister, who was present at the time. Upon learning the location, he killed both the great aunt and sister, and left in further search.

He found her at last, and he murdered her before shooting himself in the head. Kuroi was not certain exactly what happened. He vaguely remembered butchering her with a blade and skinning her alive while she was naked. He remembered shooting himself after doing this, and he remembered that he was dead. Kuroi died and became a spirit then, one with lots of emotional baggage. All of these negatives slowly consumed and corrupted him, turning into a large, and powerful hollow.


Hollow Life


As a hollow, Kuroi was constantly hungry. He went around eating many spirits, and even Shinigami that came to try and stop him. A total of 35 Shinigami fell to Kuroi's appetite, and at last, he became powerful enough to absorb other hollows. He found his way into Gillian Forest, where he himself became a Gillian, maintaining his personality. For a short time only Kuroi remained Gillian, for he devoured others with speed and strength that most hollows lacked. Eventually, Kuroi managed to evolve, and became an Adjuchas. He was a powerful lion-type Adjuchas with a spiked tail, and his mark was the solid black eyes with dark red glowing pupils. Kuroi killed and ate over 600 hollows by himself, though from time to time he gained [and eventually ate] some companions. Kuroi had no true companions in honesty, having learned to be alone due to his time as a human.

Kuroi had a sharp mind, and could remember everything. As a Gillian, he'd been slower than most, lagging behind the mass so that he could secretly devour more and more hollows. Kuroi loved the thrill of devouring them, and he loved the taste of their hollow meat. Kuroi as a Gillian, had the traditional cage-like mask of those that maintained their personalities instead of becoming mindless Gillian that followed the masses and could easily be slaughtered or bent to someone else's will.

As an Adjuchas, Kuroi wandered alone, eating any companions he obtained, living with the moon as his companion. He always had the fear of regression, something that all Adjuchas came with. The natural law and knowledge was that if one did not continue to eat, that being would regress, and lose their freedom of personality forever. Kuroi ate many meals over a long period of time as he tried to evolve, but failed constantly. What was wrong? Why couldn't Kuroi evolve? He was a rather large, and powerful Adjuchas, and he had powers that rivaled even some Arrancar. And yet, Kuroi still could not evolve.

Kuroi finally met a powerful stranger, who turned him into a Vasto Lorde after witnessing his strength. Kuroi however, did not like the idea of serving this man. He served, he obeyed, but he did not like it. He was reluctant, he despised the entire idea of it. Kuroi did not want to serve the man, and he did not want to be an underling to someone that he deemed weak. Eventually, he killed and ate the man, and went around with his new powers as a Vasto Lorde.

Kuroi was powerful, and in a humanoid form. He enjoyed his power, and he enjoyed killing others. There was seemingly nothing that he enjoyed more than killing and eating foes. He hoped to one day eat an Arrancar, even eat one of the so called mighty Espada. Kuroi kept going, not once stopping. Eventually, he got to where he wanted to. He reached the point of tearing off his own mask.

Arrancar Life



Kuroi spent a few years training and mastering his powers. He learned of one weakness, which was his recklessness during blood lust. To correct this, Kuroi decided that High Speed Regeneration would serve him better than a Power Increase, and a fortified Hierro would also work. Whether or not Kuroi gained these things, nobody is quite sure but Kuroi himself. Many assume that he gained the Hierro, but many also assume that the high speed regeneration alluded him, for to this day he fights with a seeming caution.

Kuroi met one particular stranger during his training, an Arrancar that did not belong to the man that had changed him and others, and a man with no rank or ties. When battling him, Kuroi was utterly defeated, and a scar was torn onto his back forever, a reminder of his humiliating defeat. Kuroi roared in shame, agony, and indignation. For even more years, he trained, he trained, and he trained more. He had to beat this stranger. His powers increased, his mastery of several arts increased. He grew to be a figure of strength, but also one of arrogance. Kuroi was strong, and people knew it, they respected it, and they respected him for his perseverance.

Kuroi decided that he wanted to become an Espada. But how to become an Espada? It was a difficult process, one that included overthrowing the current owner of Kuroi's desired number. Of course, 4 was his favorite number, but something about being the fourth Espada repulsed him, and so he decided to try for Five. He would overthrow the Fifth Espada. First of course, Kuroi had to find and defeat the stranger that had defeated him years previously. Kuroi requested a leave of absence, during which time he would search for someone.

He was granted this, and searched for the stranger with vigor and pride, and with strength as well. He searched high and low, following secretive clues such as "Your target lies in the back of the wind", and "He will be discovered with the twilight's first glow." These glows made little sense to Kuroi, but eventually, he located something else that was also of interest to him.

Kuroi discovered a large cavern in Hueco Mundo. Inside were silver markings and runes in an arcane, and ancient language that Kuroi had never seen, or even heard of before. It was mesmerizing, and Kuroi almost felt as if a great force, a great power was rippling from the symbols alone. Kuroi looked all around at them, marveling at their glory. It was then that his Ressurection activated on it's own, and absorbed the entire symbolic hierarchy of the cave. Symbols formed on Kuroi's Ressurection, and suddenly, he could read the speak the language to an acceptable degree. There were symbols and words that he did not know, but that did not matter. Kuroi felt more powerful then he had in ages.

What Kuroi does not know:

The runes significantly effected his body, and changed him. He grew powerful to the point that he gained the potential to unlock Ressurection Segunda, whereas before he could not ever have reached such a stage. As Kuroi's strength grows, the runes fade from his armor, and burn into his skin as scars. To date, it is not a noticeable occurence, and Kuroi is not yet aware of it. When he unlocks Ressurection Segunda [After I request it and it gets accepted], the markings will fully leave his armor, and burn into his flesh. Not only this, but they highly influence his Ressurection Segunda's power, which has not yet been discovered, but which already exists and is laid out.


While on his journey to find the stranger, he also decided to research the arcane runes. He found no designated name, but he found that the symbols contained power, and that any Arrancar to stumble upon them would gain the same power. Kuroi then learned that the vast majority of the caves containing these had been closed off, and only a few were left. Kuroi wanted to try to locate and steal or destroy the power in the other caves, for he had a fear of being overtaken by someone that had the exact same power that he had been given, for as opposed to having two ressurection abilities before, Kuroi's Ressurection gained a third ability, the ace move that he would use sparingly over many more years.

Kuroi at last located the stranger that he wished to battle, and the two had an epic clash of vicious proportions. Kuroi of course, got the best of his foe, killing him, butchering him, and destroying him. Kuroi felt satisfaction, a vicious high unlike anything that he had ever felt before. It was as if the blood of his destroyed enemy was a drug coursing throughout his veins, and it was something that Kuroi wanted to experience again. The only other way to experience it of course, was to destroy more enemies that Kuroi despised.

• Sealed Zanpakutô:


• Racial Abilities:

High-Speed Regeneration: Despite having great speed, durability, and attack power, Kuroi'a greatest strength lies in his regenerative power. During his battle against an unnamed vizard, he is even able regenerate his hand after having it cut off. He can quickly regenerate any part of his body except for his brain and internal organs.

Sonído Master: One of Kuroi's more noticeable traits is his tremendously skillful speed. He can catch up with opponents after kicking them away. Kuroi moves at an excessively fast speed in combat, so fast some might find it hard to even discern his movements at first. He remains able to use Sonído while being burdened with the absence of some limbs.

Cero: Kuroi can fire Cero from his fingers with excessively destructive power. His Cero can be charged and fired relatively fast, and is black instead of red, which is the most common color of a Cero. The force of the blast can send an opponent hurtling long distances, effectively destroying any obstacle in its path at great range. He can fire it from either hand or any part of his body at that.

Bala: This technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Kuroi's Bala is crimson, and is powerful enough to blast a huge hole into two unseated Shinigami.

Enhanced Hierro: The hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. Kuroi's skin is highly durable, even by Arrancar standards. He can deflect attacks of similar power barehanded. He can defeat a vizard with their Bankai and Hollow mask on without unsheathing his sword, rendering weaker vizarda defenseless with two attacks and not sustaining injuries of any kind.

Enhanced Pesquisa: The Arrancar ability to sense spiritual energy. While any Arrancar can learn it, Kuroi possesses impressive skill with it. From a single glance at his opponent, Kuroi can immediately determine how powerful his opponent is. He can comprehend the flow and concentration of the person's energy, instantly seeing a vizard's energy was fluctuating because of their inner Hollow.

Descorrer : A technique used by Espada-level Arrancar, and sometimes others, to open a Garganta between the Human World and Hueco Mundo.
•Garganta Broadcast: Kuroi can create a visual broadcast, similar to a television screen, using individual Garganta portals.

Gran-Rey Cero: By mixing their own blood with a Cero, an Espada can fire a Cero with much greater attack power and speed, in addition to having a change of color unique to them. It is many times more powerful than a normal Cero, disturbing the fabric of space as it travels. Upon release, it spins like a razor as it compresses and decompresses due to the sheer speed and raw power. Ulquiorra Cifer states using a Gran Rey Cero is one of two things forbidden while inside Las Noches, for it is so overwhelming it could destroy the fortress.

• Unique Abilities:

Master Swordsman: Though he usually engages in it, Kuroi is highly skilled in swordsmanship. He possesses flawless precision, and uses his speed to inflict lethal attacks without much effort. Kuroi prefers to wield his sword with his right hand, leaving the other hand free, though it usually remains in his pocket, ready to draw his short blade from it at any moment.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Kuroi mostly relies on hand-to-hand combat, rarely drawing his sword at all because he sees them as not worthy to face his Zanpakutō. Kuroi seems to prefer an off-the-ground method of combat, often attacking opponents from aerial standpoints.

Keen Intellect: In addition to his remarkable combat prowess, Kuroi is gifted with great insight and understanding of situations at hand. With his calm and collected nature, Kuroi is highly perceptive and analytical, deducing the basic idea of his opponent's skills to figure out their strengths and weaknesses.

Enhanced Strength: Kuroi is deceptively mighty for his slim build. He can physically injure a person twice as large as him, with no visible effort. He can upturn huge portions of rock floor with a single strike at the ground with his sword. With a single kick, Kuroi can send weaker opponents flying a tremendous distance away.





• Resereccion Name: Hora

• Resereccion Release Phrase: Silence, Hora

• Release Actions: To release Hora's power Kuroi summons his Zanpakutō and levels it out in front of him, he then calls out his release phrase; Silence, Hora. Upon finishing his phase the Zanpakutō explodes into black ravens, these ravens go into the swirling mass of his reiryoku and reiatsu which are also ravens. He is completely obscured as his transformation happens the ravens work as the curtain and it is impossible to see him until they disperse, even those who are right next to him see nothing.

• Resereccion Appearance: When in Ressurection, Kuroi becomes encased in a black scaly suit that covers his whole body except for his feet, hands, neck, and head. His eyes transfigure into a solid black, while his hair grows spiked, and elongates until it goes past his shoulders and becomes medium length. His pupils turn a dim, glowing red color to add to the scary effect. His hands turn black and clawed, as do his feet, but it is obvious that they are not apart of the scaled suit covering him. Small slits on the top of his wrists are existent, but barely visible.

There are many markings and runes on the armoring suit, most of them a silver lining to create symbols. They used to be dulling, but have somehow replenished fully. However, they have also permanently wreaked something else on Kuroi's appearance, which is revealed without his Ressurection. The symbols are of an arcane, and ancient language that not even Kuroi knows fully. On the arms, the symbols are identical. There are six in total, and they are read from left to right, displayed horizontally from shoulder to wrist. The first symbol is a cross with what appears to be an eagle's wing outline coming from the very top of the cross. This symbol stands for Strength, one of Kuroi's mostly highlighted values. The second is a circle with seven dots forming a tri-spike in the center, with a triangle in the background. This symbol stands for Wealth. It is not something Kuroi really values, but he knows it's value none the less. Wealth is a means to an end. Wealth can give power in multiple ways, and it can buy valuable information. The third symbol is a cubic design with pyramids inside each face. This symbol stands for Stealth, which is the key mark of the assassin, and something that Kuroi came to value as a sniper during WWII. The fourth symbol is in rhe shape of a flame, and it had an inner flame at the center, both simply being outlines made of silver lining. This symbol stands for Bravery, which Kuroi knows is required to live the life of a hollow. Bravery, Courage, Heartlessness. Those are all key in this part of Kuroi's thoughts. The fifth symbol is significantly complicated. It is a bow with all of the previous four symbols located in between the bow and string, with an arrow notched, but not pulled back. The arrow is covered in an outline of flames. This symbol means Knowledge. Knowledge is power. Cunning and intelligence are the very roots of strength, and these can be used to overturn even a God. The final symbol is very simple. It is a skull with flames in the eye sockets, meant to symbolize the Death that Kuroi will inflict upon all of his foes.

There are arcane symbols on Kuroi's legs and chest as well. The legs only have four symbols. Both legs have the same symbols, read from top to bottom, and displayed vertically from the thighs to the shin. The leg symbols do not represent things that Kuroi values, but things that Kuroi despises and vows to destroy, should a foe possess them. The first symbol is two crossing blades with an odd character in the center. Simple enough, and it represents Failure. It is not something a foe will particularly have, though Kuroi will gladly damn a foe to Failure, and destroy them completely. The second symbol is a mere square, representing Light. Kuroi despises the light, because he lives in the darkness, his only light being the moon's shine. The third symbol is a circumpact with a skull at the center instead of a dot. This represents Fear, something that Kuroi has, but shoves down into the bottom of his soul, and resists no matter what. People that show their fear and let it control them disgust Kuroi over all things. The final symbol is a crescent, representing an incomplete moon. Having come to know the full moon as a companion, Kuroi despises anything less then the full moon.

The symbols of the arms and legs are also adorned more then once and indiscriminantly random all across the light scaly plating of the torso, with one unique symbol on the belly button area. The unique symbol is the outline of a dragon, and it is completely unknown even to Kuroi exactly what it represents. His best guess is that it represents Hatred or Anger, or something negative along those lines. The symbol is very detailed, despite being very small, and makes out everything almost like a tattoo fashioned completely from silver.

Kuroi's claws are viciously sharp, and they shine in moonlight. They glint like savage knives, and they curve like an eagle's talons. They are truly fearful to see, and they can be used as weapons just like Kuroi's blades can, though they are rather ineffective compared to blades. They can still be used to slash, and Kuroi can use them if he feels like fighting like a wild animal. The claws are majestic, and have a small green glint at the tips, almost as if they contain poison, which they do not. However, the appearance is enough to make enemies try to evade the claws. It is enough to tell them that Kuroi is dangerous, and that messing with him is not the best idea.

Kuroi's eyes hold more then scary looks and utter cold and disdain. The eyes have an odd, unique trait about them. The appearance is almost like an illusion really, indescribable unless experienced, but when looking at the eyes, one gains the impression of seeing Kuroi's entire life story, almost as if seeing all of the negative and depressing moments. Simply, it forces a feeling of negativity onto all onlookers, who truly recognize just how much of an antagonist Kuroi really is, and how much he hates the world and nearly everything in it.

The slits are like deep holes visible beneath skin flaps, almost as if long blades were stabbed deeply into Kuroi's arms, though no such thing ever occurred. The slits contain all of Kuroi's Ressurection Abilities, making it so that Kuroi relies on his arms primarily in combat. Still, nothing is a better tool than the mind, something Kuroi learned all too well.

Kuroi's hair is rather spiky when in Ressurection, but not without just cause. The spikes have silvery tips, and the hair appears as if it can stab like metal. Mainly, it wards off mindless enemies that think screwing with Kuroi is a good idea. The hair and claws are both essential to the element of fear that is supposed to be given enemies when they look at Kuroi. All in all, Kuroi's entire appearance and image in Ressurection are supposed to chill an opponent's spine, make them fear him, and even make them run away from battle. Weaker opponents will almost always do this, with the exception of foolish bravery, and great stupidity.

• Resereccion Abilities: (Kuroi's entire ability focuses around creating various blades to use for his own personal advantage. His entire ability focuses on vicious blade techniques that are used through the wrist slits of his Ressurection. Blades are ejected from there with various abilities. Kuroi's abilities for Ressurection, overall follow one single pattern. They are all meant for an assassin/soldier type. Kuroi is specifically a close quarters battle type. He is made for battling and overpowering large numbers of foes with his soldier/assassin skills, and the tools his arrancar powers give him, or simply one single foe that he is facing in a one on one battle. The abilities are basically restricted purely to close quarters.

His strength, essentially, is called "Battle Advantage." This is a power which enables the user, through said tools, to weaken the enemy while becoming stronger. Kuroi uses two techniques in Primera Etapa to make his opponent weaker. Meanwhile, the weapons that he is capable of arming himself with make him stronger, further increasing his battle capacity. As a direct result, Kuroi is one of the most capable Espada. Even enemies stronger than him will be brought beneath him when he makes them weaker.


Resurrección: Primera Etapta Overall Ability:
Kuroi's powers are mainly physical, and he generally does not use a terribly high amount of Reiatsu. This is only his Ressurection however. His overall abilities include Speed and Cero usage. He is particularly adept at quick movement, making him a dangerous foe to face in battle. His abilities with Cero do not extend generally to knowing lots of Cero, but to having a powerful Cero, and the few Cero he does know being incredibly vicious. Kuroi is prone to having lots of attacks that would aid him with melee fighting. Hierro helps defend him against damage, while his quick speed gives him an upperhand in combat. His Ressurection is mainly soldier/assassin blade combat.

It is called "Battle Advantage." Essentially, Kuroi creates powerful weapons with special properties for negating defenses or striking even through evasions. This means he causes himself to fight at his fullest with unbelievably strong weapons. Meanwhile, he uses other techniques and weapons to make his opponent weaker. In Primera Etapa, he has two techniques to enhance his battle ability, and two to drain his opponent's. In terms of overall, Kuroi is also able to generate weapons in general, though this is limited to swords. His wrist slits allow him to release black blades for use as wrist blade types. These can be made of his own reiatsu, and glow as black blades of reiatsu, or they can be black steel blades. He can also just flat out release them as actual swords with hilts, if he so desires. Kuroi has learned also how to release these swords from his wrist slits, to send them at enemies as projectiles.

Techniques:
Enhanced Hierro
Augmented Physical Strength
Higher Senses

Name: Taiyou Ken
Description: The second ability is much more powerful than any of the other blade based abilities. It is an ace in the hole move, one that abandons any ability to be stealthy, and many other important aspects, devoting all purely to power. Kuroi's wrist slits releasing twin hilts made of the same black substance as the blades. These, once becoming gripped in Kuroi's hands, ignite with large, powerful white energy blades. The blades are wild, and the energy is constantly moving. Both blades can actually be focused into a more steady form, but that removes their signature ability. The signature ability is to be able to detonate them. The detonation is activated by a small button at the very bottom. There are only a few seconds before detonation once the button is pressed. The button itself is hidden until Kuroi determines he requires detonation of his blades. The focused version of the blades maximizes their cutting capabilities, making it possible to even sheer through Reiatsu. The wild version emits mild heat, and is capable of blocking a lot more things then the first ability's blades, but overall it's effectiveness with damage isn't much greater. The downfall of this is that Kuroi can only generate 3 of these weapons total every 24 hours. He cannot generate them in two sets, he can only generate one set, and then a third blade if one of them is lost.

Disadvantages: It is true that there are already quite some drawbacks to the powers. But overall, these are not pure weaknesses. This time, the weakness is directly active to the usage of the ability. Kuroi must watch out for techniques that can overpower his weapons. While this ability can easily cut through a good amount of things, even Reiatsu, the proper way to stop this is simply to fortify and strengthen Reiatsu. Still, the weapon will pose a threat. The true weakness, lies in perhaps a way to detonate the blades while Kuroi wields them. A Gran Rey Cero or something on par has quite a decent chance of actually striking and damaging the hilts should Kuroi try to defend, and the explosion mechanism will be disturbed, causing the detonation. This ability takes a huge amount of Reaitsu, and highly weakens it. As a result, it also weakens defense severely. When it comes down to it, the blades are heavy, so a large mass of his physical stats weaken.

• RP Sample: Kuroi drew his blade, looking at the stranger with open eyes. "Who are you?" he asked. The stranger smiled. "I am Goryuu Tasken", he said, "Lord of Hell." Kuroi actually broke his custom of emotionless composure, and laughed out loud at the statement. "Hell has no Lord, for there truly is no Hell other then Hueco Mundo." Kuroi said. Goryuu looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Your own home, this white desert, this is Hell?" he asked. To this, Kuroi responded in a harsh tone, "When you travel for years alone under the moon, scared of regression, you learn despair, and you learn that it is strongest here."

Goryuu laughed this time, drawing his own blade. "I feel that it is time we got to the action, don't you Kuroi?" he asked. "How do you know my name?" Kuroi hissed. "No need for explanations." Goryuu responded. He moved with a sudden, and powerful grace, bounding from the area he had stood in moments before, sand flying all around as a shock wave emitted from that spot, and a crater formed there. Kuroi found himself instantly hard pressed as he parried, and felt shock waves explode off of the point of impact. He felt his blade almost knocked from his grasp, but kept his grip solid and firm. Kuroi drew his blade away from that of Goryuu, and stabbed towards Goryuu, angling his blade in a nearly invisible twist as his blade soared towards Goryuu's chest. Goryuu brought up his blade to parry, but Kuroi's slid past with a twist, stabbing into Goryuu's chest.

Goryuu grinned. "GOOD GOOD!" he exclaimed. Kuroi's eyes gained a fierce insanity, and he laughed. "THIS IS GOOD! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!" Kuroi shouted with a grin. He roared with power as Reiatsu exploded all around, and he shoved his blade with a powerful clang against that of his foe. The two were evenly matched in terms of Reiatsu, Speed, and Physical strength. However, Kuroi decided that Ressurection would change that up a good amount. First however, he had to gauge his foe a bit more properly.

Kuroi aimed his left palm at Goryuu. A red beam of light began charging in his palm with an audible sound. Goryuu laughed as the Cero fired out, heading towards him. Kuroi rushed forwards right after the Cero fired, following it towards Goryuu, who side stepped it. Kuroi moved to the side with him, and shoved his blade down onto Goryuu. Goryuu parried, but Kuroi twisted his blade into a figure eight as soon as the impact occurred. With this, he disarmed Goryuu-or so he thought. A chain was attached to the blade, and Goryuu yanked on it, bringing his blade back as he shoved his knee upwards, straight into Kuroi's gut. Kuroi doubled over, and Goryuu slashed him across the chest, before grabbing his face and hurling him across the ground.

Kuroi grunted, but he quickly righted himself, getting back onto his feet. "Silence...Hora!" Kuroi's Ressurection formed, his hands and feet becoming clawed as he tore out of his boots, and his outfit becoming replaced by the armoring scale-like light suit. Kuroi rushed forwards, his sword gone. He slashed with his claws, and Goryuu blocked. However, Kuroi quickly released blades of a black bone-like substance from the slits of his wrists, which stabbed into Goryuu's arms. Goryuu grinned, and Kuroi slashed again. Goryuu blocked both with a diagonal twist of his blade, but Kuroi, in response, simply let his blades retract, and blades of steaming red reiatsu replace them. He drew them in a quick flicking motion, and again Goryuu blocked.

Kuroi hacked multiple times in the same spot, but Goryuu was in too much of a combat high to notice. Kuroi, at that point, was actually out of his blood lust phase, because he knew that he would be defeated by Goryuu should he enter it. Kuroi quickly struck again, and Goryuu parried, allowing Kuroi to strike the same spot. Kuroi grinned as his blades carved cleanly through Goryuu's Zanpakutō. Goryuu cursed, and dove away as Kuroi aimed to slash again. Upon his missing, Kuroi had his blades retract. Spinning blades in an X shape materialized on his wrists, one per, and made of the same black bone-like substance as before. Kuroi prepared to strike, but suddenly saw that his opponent was charging something. "Gran Rey Cero?! I thought that only Espada could-"

Kuroi was cut off as it fired, and he dove away, firing at the outstretched arm of his opponent, right below the Gran Rey Cero. The blades carved cleanly through the wrist, severing the hand as Kuroi rushed forwards, his ordinary blades generating again. He hacked cleanly across Goryuu's chest, and dropped, kicking Goryuu in the face. Kuroi had trained himself for years, and went based on memory of Goryuu's strength. Goryuu didn't stand a chance.

Not to mention, Kuroi had learned something. Goryuu did not have a Ressurection. Goryuu was powerful, but without a central ability, or something else, he was toast. If all he had was Cero and a sword, Goryuu couldn't possibly win if Kuroi had a superior strategy. Kuroi carved straight into Goryuu's heart as these thoughts flooded his mind, and in a single sweep, the battle was over, Kuroi dragging his blades down, and away from each other in a slash from the waist. In that instant, Goryuu was severed at the waist, carved into several pieces from the earlier slashes. Kuroi had won, and a grin was spreading on his face as blood sprayed everywhere.
