Personality

Kuronue is brash and reckless, energetic and playful. He’s somewhat crude at times, but he means no harm, not with his words at least. He’s direct about things, often to the point of being blunt, but most find it refreshing. Kuronue doesn’t believe in dancing around a point that needs to be made, preferring instead to get to a point so it can be solved and then life can move on. Kuronue is admittedly a thief (and a damn good one), preferring trinkets to anything else.

If Kuronue likes you, expect someone who’s like a big watchdog. He likes to keep an eye over his people, as he doesn’t let people into that inner circle easily. Expect someone who might pull you into his schemes somehow, but it’s all in good fun...right? It takes a great deal to earn that much respect so it’s the least Kuronue feels he can do. And while not...the brightest when it comes to certain academics, Kuronue’s got a cunning mind few would guess he possessed. He knows just how to crack a good code or puzzle out something to get to whatever it is he desires...after all, that’s what being a good thief is all about!

If Kuronue doesn't like you, most of the time you should expect to know it. He doesn't believe in hiding his feelings too often, at least not on people. Not to say he can't be deceptive...he just prefers that straightforward nature to too many layers of deceptions. That's for the masters, and he never claims to be a master of "deceit." At least not in a face-value sense.

All the same he’s got his own code of honor. Kuronue prefers not to fight someone who can’t fight back, but he loves a good tussle when he can get one. He’s a bit cocky about his abilities, but all the same he tries to downplay them from others to keep from being suspect to burglary!

Romance is hard for Kuronue...he’s a rover. Kuronue likes being free to meet and flirt with many and doesn’t like to think in terms of settling down...yet at least. This may or may not be in direct correlation with his past and family life...but Kuronue doesn’t like talking about this past. Few things rile him, as he’s learned that a smile or a snarky remark back tends to ward off most people from trying again.

History

Kuronue is a bat demon, born and raised in the Makai, or Demon World. His canon powers as both a bat demon and a thief were the ability to glide with the use of his wings, advanced hearing and agility, and the ability to wield a scythe attached to a long rope he keeps on his belt. It is debatable that he also used his pendant for hypnosis.

This gutter bat was raised in the Makai, a harsh land inhabited mostly by demons. His life wasn't easy and he knew hardship from a very young age, leaving his mother's side by the time he was the equivalent of about twelve to make his own way and learn independence. Still, despite his experiences with losing his family and growing up as a young pickpocket kept him mostly upbeat, playful. Mostly due to the fact that loss is seen as simply another part of life in the Makai, and nothing worth dwelling over. This playful, enthusiastic nature proved a fair ploy for keeping people both at ease and unguarded when the need arose.

During his youth, he happened across the bandit known as Youko Kurama, a rare silver kitsune. After a shaky first meeting the two became friends and partners, cementing a run of crime that became well known, firmly placing Youko as a Legendary Thief amongst Makai lore and earning Kuronue a place at his side as his second in command. All of that changed one day when the two decided to break into a heavily guarded vault for a mirror said to be worth a fortune and posses magical properties. For two seasoned demons, it wasn't hard to find a way inside and work past the guards. It wasn't until they were making their escape that things went awry. The two, cocky with the heady taste of victory were making their escape when Kuronue's pendant broke and fell. Rebounding off of a tree Kuronue turned, heading back towards where death was sure to await. Youko called out to him but he screamed that he needed the pendant and for Youko to go ahead to their hideout. No sooner had he snatched it up when the guards attacked. Bamboo spears pinned his calves to the ground and he was killed while Youko Kurama fled to their lair.

The Bandit Song

Oh I am a rover, I roam the land over,
and I'll never settle until I get caught,
From village to township, my sword hangs at my hip,
and you'll never catch me, I'll always be sought.

We hold the highways and we hold the hills,
steal you silver make off your tills,
Call down your kings men we quicken our pace,
drive hard for the forest- we live for the chase!

A knave so beguiling, that while you're still smiling
Before you know it, I've got all your gold.
And I am so dashing, I'll escape the thrashing,
So damnably vexing, I'll live till I'm old!

We have the forest and we have the moors,
Rustle your cattle and take what is yours
Call the high sheriff we couldn't care less
Torture us gladly, well never confess

No you cannot beat me, nor ever defeat me,
I am but a sinner, and I have no shame
To filch all that glimmers, purloin all that shimmers
To nab it and grab it that's our favorite game

We hold the alley and we hold the night,
we're always ready and willing to fight.
Put all your money right here in this sack,
Just do as we say, there's a knife at your back!

Ah we are hellacious, our greed is voracious
No one is safe above our plans and schemes
Rogues from a nightmare, we burgle with great care,
And if you can hear this, we've stolen your dreams

We rule the backlands and we know the wastes
Sneak into the village and ride off in haste
We rob and plunder and sunder and kill
We wreck and we ruin and threaten with skill

Yes, we're here to scare you, to trap and ensnare you
Rakish young devils, we scoff at the law
Remarkably daring, our nostrils a-flaring,
Make off with your chattel our plans have no flaw

We'll take the booty and we'll take the loot,
We all have daggers concealed in our boot.
Call the kings horses and call the lawmen
We'll just evade them again and again

Yes, we are all blackguards, raise up all the tankards
And drink to the wild ways that led us astray
Sometimes we are charming but most times; alarming!
Don't ever forget us, or be our next pray.

We hide in shadows and hide behind trees
We prove that there is no honor 'mong thieves
We'll count up the gain and you'll count up the loss
Where is thy dagger? In your gullet boss.

So in conclusion, we thrive on illusion
We're all in collusion, keep secrets or die
We all conspire around the campfire
Make plans to go straight, of course,
I'd never lie...
