Name: Kuroda Ren Title(The *blank* One): The Cold One Age: 18 Appearance: ![]() Personality(can be related to Title or Not): To describe Kuroda Ren in one word: bitter. His quiet manner is not shy, but cold--his annoyed glare and scowling lips make it clear that he does not want to be bothered by idiots (which constitutes just about everyone). He refuses to be irritated by people in whom he is 'uninterested'--in other words, if such a person attempts to befriend him, Kuroda will coldly rebuff the poor, unsuspecting, friendly person and then turn and walk away. With those whom he is 'interested' in--that is, people he 'would not mind knowing'--Kuroda remains distant. Even with those whom he would actually like to know (a very, very unlikely prospect these days), Kuroda's unsociable attitude towards nearly everyone else has crafted him into someone who is unsure how to behave when he actually does want to socialise. As such, he instead leaves it to the other person to approach him somehow, often becoming annoyed when, discouraged by his cold rejection of others, said people don't exactly behave as he wants them to. One of Kuroda's biggest problem lies in his tendency to see, pick out, and dwell on all the things that are wrong, as if he is blind to the things that are good or right. In all aspects of life, without even realising it, he zeroes in on everything that is not going well or has gone badly, overlooking everything else. His 'good day' can be dashed with the slightest problem. Rarely has anyone gotten to know Kuroda to the point where he is willing to impart more than a couple of words on them; even more rare is it that someone has been able to see him beyond the bitter exterior he displays. This 'shield' obscures a sarcastic, biting sense of humour, an intelligent and artistic spirit, and, foremost of all, a lonely young man. Other/Bio(for the guys it can be what type of world they come from): Kuroda's world is one of tragedy and misfortune. An alternate history in which nations are constantly at war and corrupt, authoritarian, oppressive dictators dominate the land. Kuroda happened to be born in one of the most notoriously violent of these regimes; even worse, he was born into a slum, a rundown, miserable hellhole far from the sprawling, prosperous capital of the mainland. As a child, it was not uncommon for Kuroda to see soldiers in gas masks, carrying rifles and wielding ruthless knives covered in dried blood from the latest street execution, marching down the streets, sometimes throwing a grenade through a random window and then going in to see how many people the grenade had killed; a game that even had championships to see who could kill the most civilians with one grenade into a house. Kuroda grew up with the sight of his best friends being beaten to death by sadistic troops; the image of the child he had grown up with as his best friend being brutally tortured, the sound of her final, pitiful weeping plead for mercy just before the soldiers, laughing at her excruciating pain and terror, finally decided to put her out of her misery, the feel of her already cold, dirty, bloodied skin as he cried, pulling her body away from that dark alley...they have become burned into Kuroda's mind like his own name. From then on, his world seemed bleak, colourless, without hope. When his father was dragged from his home by a bored soldier and shot while Kuroda watched from the window, Kuroda could not force tears from his eyes. It frightened even Kuroda himself, and his mother began to fear the boy's soul was slipping from him. For entire weeks he could not sleep, he could not bring himself to want to eat or drink, and no matter what his mother, the only loved one he had left, no matter what she did, she feared he was going to become like one of the soldiers: uncaring, unable to understand the pain, the despair of others. Before that, however, Kuroda witnessed the event that would save him from this fate. One day, while walking through one of the many criss crossing alleys of the slum, Kuroda walked past a soldier about to beat a young man not much older than Kuroda. It was a common occurrence, so he paid little attention. What was not a common occurrence, however, was when, as if out of nowhere, a dozen other youths appeared, overwhelming the soldier, who didn't even have time to let out a single bullet. It was then Kuroda learned of the underground resistance movement--a vast network of people, united in their hatred of the military, melded together by the misery they had endured, a movement that, among other things, transported food and water to slums where the military was forcing the people to starve, stealing supplies from government convoys, even organising revolts and rebellions in those areas where the oppression was particularly strong. The realisation that there were those who had not abandoned hope, that Kuroda had a possibility to bring vengeance for the deaths of his loved ones, re awoke a passion in his heart; it was as if his heart had begun beating again, filling him with fire and blood. Kuroda acted as a 'convoy runner'--he would receive supplies from an ambushed supply convoy, and then he would transport it to another runner, who would pass it to another until the supplies reached their destination. From then on, though he remained a quiet and withdrawn man, Kuroda acted with intensity and spirit; he had gone from a dying ember lying amongst ashes to a full roaring fire. It was, then, shocking to him, when he awoke in a completely different world. A world where there was no need to move quickly for fear of being spotted by a tank or a soldier. A world where the thought of a child being brutally killed was a monstrous, far-fetched nightmare of science fiction books and films. A world where a person could talk to their friend and know that no one else could hear them. A world where the air was fresh and clean, not choked by smoke and fumes from industrial powerhouses. A world where love was not regulated by soldiers who would beat you within an inch of your life and beyond if you were caught holding a girl's hand in public--where you could even kiss your lover in public and it was not thought of as freakish or disgusting, but as romantic and sweet. A world where people walking with smiles on their faces was not a dream told beneath a dim, flickering light in a musty room with the wallpaint peeling and the walls rumbling with the march of soldiers and tanks above. It was a world all in all entirely alien to him. ...Jesus that turned out way more dark than I had expected it to at first Hope it is acceptable as such though.

Posted... Also, lulz...trying to envision Kuroda and Miss Bubbly was amusing (especially since I cannot help but see Kuroda in chibi form) I can just see it...she's all excited and talking and being enthusiastic and Kuroda's just like 'I just want a bit of peace and quiet please T_T'

Name: Samuel James Nonack Title: The Charming One Age: 19 Appearance: Think typical heart throb. A tanned, blonde haired kid with the Greenest eyes around - the type of eyes to melt any girl with a hundred yards - whose perfectly toned chest is unfortunately covered with a fitting white top. He's a jeans and t-shirt guy mostly, and quite frankly a total heart throb! Personality: Sam is just a sweet, sensitive guy with enough manliness to make a girls heart melt. Despite his gorgeous looks he's really down to earth and doesn't let his weird life get in the way of that. He's a charmer, and many girls admire him for that. Other/Bio: Samuel prefers to be called Sam. Coming from a water world, Sam is a strong swimmer and understands everything and anything to do with his own world. He speaks seven different languages, and is really quite intelligent for someone who spends more time in the gym working out or swimming more than anything else in the world. Unfortunately Sam lost his parents in a tragic boating accident and as a result he's all alone. He has no siblings. When Sam was taken with the girls, part of him didn't mind. He's been stuck in a dead in job, with a boring life, and missed the freedom he had when he was younger. He was pleasantly surprised to be working in a cafe but doesn't mind it too much. He has a secret crush on Kyari, the quietest one of the girls. As a result of him really liking her, he's unsure how to act around her and sometimes says the wrong thing. He may be a charmer, but he's not perfect. That okay? I'll introduce him in to my next post, which I'm about to write ![]() |
