Anima

~Class~
Dracoknight

~Appearance~
Standing at about five foot three, his appearance and figure doesn't bring to mind the mighty dracoknight in any way whatsoever. If anything his brown eyes and spiky hair often have him mistaken for a kid no older than eighteen. He always wears a long, blue scarf around his neck which has small holes in parts where they appear to have been bitten or burned. The back of any jacket he wears is usually in similar shape to his scarf.

~Personality~
Kuro is a sweetheart and a overall very kind person. In fact he is so kind and open minded that he will take anything anyone says at face value. He is terrible at discerning truth from lies and the only one who can keep him from getting into trouble is his wyvern. Kuro is also very loyal and will go to any length to do something for someone he deems as a friend. He smiles often and is a source of joy to anyone he meets. He even goes out of his way to help others and to do nice things for them when he can.

The question, however, is how he manages to be such a force on the battlefield when he can barely take care of himself. The answer is simple. If someone were to attack him or Selene, his wyvern, he snaps into a different mode and is a hurricane of destruction and malice. It takes a long time for him to go back into his sweet and kind self, but when he does, he is a little more distant and less warm than before. Kuro keeps a lot of secrets to himself that he won't tell other people out of fear that he will hurt them.

Kuro himself when he's not fighting he is often drawing and taking care of Selene. He will not allow anyone to groom her besides him and she will also get violent if he doesn't groom her. This is the only subject in which Kuro will refuse to allow someone to do something or ask him to do something. He and Selene are closer than normal, and Kuro will never tell why this is.

~Biography~
Kuro was born into a poor family which barely scraped by as it was. It would get worse before it could get better, as Kuro bought a wyvern egg from a passing traveler with his meagerly saved allowance and some money he had found stashed away. The wyvern egg took all the money to buy and Kuro had no idea that he had just spent his family's emergency fund and the extra for the rent. He carried the egg home only to discover his parents in a frenzy about the money being missing. After a short discussion on where they kept the money it was revealed that Kuro had found it, and spent it on a wyvern egg.

His parents did not react well to the newest addition to the house. His mother insisted that he take it back to the traveler or he would be disowned. Kuro complied, holding the egg close. When he couldn't find the traveler, he figured that his mother would follow through on her threat and promptly he left town. He wandered the wilderness for a while before stumbling into another town and being found by the local blacksmith. He remained with this blacksmith and his wife -who had been wanting a kid- for a few weeks before the egg hatched. Selene was born into the world very weak, and Kuro had a hard time finding a way to take care of the tiny wyvern at the time.

However, with luck he managed to keep the little wyvern alive with cow's milk and slowly more meat. Just as the little wyvern started getting better, the wife of the blacksmith started to complain about the 'freeloader', having changed her stance on Kuro's stay as soon as Selene started eating the curtains and flying around the house. She even tried to step on Selene to hurt her a few times, but Kuro intervened. Kuro found himself leaving behind the home he'd known for months.

In the middle of the night, so as to not let the blacksmith and his wife stop him, Kuro slipped out with Selene under his jacket. This time he was more prepared and had food as well as water for the both of them. As he traveled, he found odd jobs to do and eventually found the traveler who had sold him Selene at fourteen years old. The traveler did not recognize either of them, but invited the duo to travel with him so they would not starve on their own.

With proper care, Selene grew large enough that Kuro started to ride her places. After seeing Selene fully grown he realized that the wyvern was the one he had sold to the kid years ago. So in the dead of the night, the traveler attempted to steal Selene back for himself. Selene managed to wake Kuro and after a standoff, the traveler made it clear that he was going to use Selene for breeding and mistreat her. Kuro drew a small knife and told the traveler to leave, but the traveler didn't. Kuro ended up stabbing the traveler to death and only Selene was able to make him move enough so that the pair could travel more.

Kuro promised himself over the next five years that he would be a kind person no matter what happened, and has remained as such. He always gives people the benefit of doubt and trusts them absolutely. As he traveled he saw a lot of the land and people talked about the boy with the wyvern. Soon he was asked to appear before the Emperor to either fight in his army or to give up Selene. Kuro chose to fight, and as a result was trained and then sent with the volunteers and the small army to quell the rebellion.
