His other likes include red wine, reading, music, and strawberry lollipops. He likes to call himself "Dominus", which in Latin, it means "Master". There are many ways to describe him. Mad, or a lunatic. But, Kuro sees himself as a genius. He prefers to go by instinct with everything before thinking about it.
Story:
Giovanni was born on October thirty-first. He never really knew his parents. Though, the people that had watched over him treated him like royalty, because his caretakers were royalty. They were nobles in Italy around the era of the American Revolution. It had been kept a secret from Giovanni; His parents were actually the rulers of Great Britain at the time, but they were killed by an Uprising in their court. When they had died, Giovanni was just born, and he was sent to the Italian Nobles. Their names were Salvatore and Sophia. They had good intentions for Giovanni. His childhood was a good one. He was their only child because Sophia could not bear a child do to an illness in her past. Like all noble children, he had an instructor who came to their home everyday to tutor him. He had learned two languages within the time they had spent as student and teacher. He had learned English and Latin. The years they spent learning were about fifteen years. He had started his education at the age of five. At this point, he was nineteen. Within that time, he trained as a Hunter. What he didn't know was that his only friend had plans to kill Salvatore and Sophia. When Giovanni was asleep, his teacher snuck into his guardians' room and killed them in their sleep. Giovanni woke up to the scent of blood. He made it in time to see his teacher drag the corpses of Salvatore and Sophia into the courtyard to bury them. Giovanni jumped from his window carrying a small knife with him as a defense.He made a swift attack on his teacher, penetrating his shoulder. His teacher only sneered in pain, then attacked Giovanni. He made a swift counterattack by ripping the knife out of his teacher and stabbing his chest. It took at least five repeated attacks until the man fell to the ground. What he didn't know was that the Hunter's Council was watching. They framed Giovanni on the spot, and were assigned to attack at all costs. Giovanni still wielded his knife, and ran through the group of hunters like a madman. He was confused, sad, and angry at the same time. We wasn't going down without others falling with him. The hunters were shocked at this, and did not move. That, and the fact he was moving far too fast to be seen. He watched as each hunter fell to the ground. The progression went on, and he had cut the enemy's numbers in half. What exactly was Giovanni? How could he move at such a speed? It was preposterous. Finally, higher ranked officers came into the fight. By that time, the group sent to kill Giovanni was killed, and he was exhausted. The higher ranks moved in with an attack. He went through them quicker than he did with those that were sent. By this time, the entire courtyard was splattered with blood and carnage. He wiped out the entire council within that very night, and was concidered a threat to society. What he didn't know was that a sniper was hired for backup. The next thing he saw was a bullet to his chest.
Giovanni had been startled. He woke up to find that he was not human. He was a spirit. The last thing he remembered was a gunshot. He had no other recollection. What had happened afterwards? He wasn't sure. No one could tell him, and no one knew how all of those people had died within the Vitolo's Courtyard. All that they knew was that exactly ninety four corpses were found. The hunters were no more at this point. Giovanni watched as the world grew into a newer age. He watched the rise and fall of buisness, different acts of destruction, and so on. Finally came the day a Shinigami came across his spirit. He had no say in the matter, and was quickly exorcized. The Shinigami did so in order to keep hollows away. Finally, repentance grasped Giovanni in its cold, lifeless hands. From there, he was brought to the Soul Society in the Inuzuri District.
While in the Inuzuri District, he gained a name for himself--Kuro Vrykolakas. Kuro was one of the kids that had fought the law in Inuzuri so that he may live. He was on the verge of starvation, until finally, a Shinigami came to him. The Shinigami pitied him, and gave him food. Kuro thanked the stranger, and they began conversing. The Shinigami introduced herself. Her name was Akira Chazara. She explained that if he could be so famished, that he must have Reiatsu stored within him. Kuro was curious to know all about Akira. She told him that she was a Shinigami of the Eighth Division, and she became that way by going to the Academy. Kuro asked her to recommend him into the academy. She promised that she would, then she left. A few days passed until a messenger was sent to him with the Academy Uniform. The next day, he came to the academy. Everyone was wondering who he was, and how he got there. He was polite for being Rukon trash. He introduced himself to the class as instructed, then took a seat by himself. Most of the students wondered why he was so distant. It was because he still remembered his teacher's treacherous act. Though for being distant, he was an exceptionally good student. He knew the gist of everything. Hohou, Kidou, Zanjutsu, and Hakuda. The next year, he was placed in the advanced class. It was only a step higher of a challenge to him. While everyone else was struggling, he went through practice quickly. He had quite a bit of free time, and took up a calligraphy class on the side. The years flew by quickly for him. While everyone else dreaded the sixth year students' graduation exam, Kuro was relaxed. The day came where they took the final exam. It was a "game" of capture the flag. The goal was to capture a flag from the Commander of the Onmitsukido. The first to capture the flag could choose their division number. The game started, and all of the students rushed forward, and they could use any means to get the flag, even to attack with their academy training swords. As each other student ran forward, Kuro strategized. He watched the pattern of the target, then moved swiftly, managing to grab hold of the flag. Everyone, including the Onmitsukido leader, was astonished. How could he move so quickly to grab the flag? It was simple, he watched as the target moved to the left as people tried to get it from the right. All Kuro had to do was go to the left. He gave the flag back, and went forward to each Captain, looking over each of them. He was given the chance to choose which Division he wanted to join. Finally, he stopped before the Third Division Captain, and bowed. He chose the Third Division. The wild goose chase for the flag went on for three hours, until finally they came to a halt. Time was up, and only four other students out to twenty were able to capture the flag. After that, his training sword was taken, and his actual Zanpakuto formed into his hand.
Kuro was welcomed into the Third Division. he tried to look for the woman who had introduced him to the world of Shinigami, but he couldn't find her. Finally, he was struck with the news that she had died during the betrayal of a captain. He was devistated. He never got a chance to thank her for everything she had done. He had to put it aside and focus on his time as a Shinigami. Over the years, he trained to obtain Shikai. Once doing so, he was already training for Bankai. As he remained in the Soul Society, he watched them toss people across like the pawns that they were. It sickened Kuro. He didn't want to become a pawn like that, so he went to his Captain with a resignation letter. With that, he was relinquished from the Soul Society, but remained an ally. As a farewell gift, he asked the Kidou Corps to make him a necklace that would keep him from attacking another honest Shinigami to prove he was trustworthy. After they made it, he departed. His reason was fair, so they still kept their trust in him.
RP Sample: A young man appearing to be in his teens walked along, twirling his sealed sword. It was a Zanpakuto. He gave a simple sigh as he watched a hollow. "If you don't get out of the way, I'll force you, mister hollow." It was hardly a threat. The hollow hissed and pounced at the boy. "Let this name be the last you hear. Kuro Vrykolakas." Kuro grinned, slashing the hollow with his sword. It was a small hollow, so it was easy to destroy. He rested the blade on his shoulder, heaving another sigh. "Barely a warm-up." Kuro grinned. 'Anymore?', Kuro thought to himself. He shrugged his shoulders, continuing his walk.
Zanpakuto Information:
Zanpakuto Name: Amezgaitz [Basque for "Nightmares"]
Sealed Appearance: A simple katana about sixty inches in length. It has no scabbard, so it is tucked into his belt. The sword itself is completely black, except for the hand guard and cross guard. They are both golden. The blade, itself, is fourty-eight inches. The handle is twelve inches in length, good for one-handed and two-handed attacks. It is odd for being a sealed sword. Most people are under the assumption of the sword being in its Shikai because it is black and has a golden handguard. Though, it is sealed.
Zanpakuto Spirit Description: Amezgaitz's spirit copies the appearance of the spirit believed to be the Grim Reaper. He wears a hooded black shroud and wields a scythe. The eyes are a piercing red, but his face is that of a human. He has electric blue hair and a tanned complexion. His hands are covered in black gloves, and he wears black boots. The bottom half of the shorud is open to reveal black pants. His appearance is an eccentric one.
Release Phrase: Play On, Amezgaitz.
Shikai
Released Appearance: Upon Shikai, Amezgaitz is a dual weapon, meaning there are two. They are two 37-calibur pistols. They control the ability of shadow manipulation. As it name means, it has the ability to shift these shadows into a creature from one's nightmare. [Possibly a loved one who has died, a loved one who is very much alive crawling to them in agony, etc.] It is a Zanpakuto that can be used for evil, but it is in good hands. If one were to touch the weapon, they would see the nightmares Kuro has poured into it that belong to others. The guns become silver, but they have a black encryption on them that is in Latin. "Supplicium" is written on the first, and "Ultio" on the second. Each mean "Punishment" and "Revenge". The clips holds up to twelve bullets.
