Kuro Seishin is the main male protagonist of the story. He is a Nephilim, a human/Angel hybrid, and the reincarnation of the Goddess of Creation, Amera. Kuro is the son of high ranking Angel, Saiga Seishin, and the human, Shizuna Seishin, and the older brother of Kazumi Seishin.


— APPEARANCE

Kuro is a young man in his late teens with a lean, yet muscular build and has blue eyes and black hair with a brown tint to it. His hair is spiky and he has chin-length bangs that part down to frame both sides of his face. His other bangs are parted at the right side of his forehead in a windswept design. He possesses a black crescent moon mark on his left palm, a symbol of his status as Amera's reincarnation. He wears light blue ear piercings, three on each ear, and is occasionally considered to be a bishōnen (pretty boy). As per transferring to Kuoh Academy, he dons the standard male uniforms.


— PERSONALITY

When he was a child, Kuro was very quiet and insightful. He distances himself from others, observing them without getting directly involved so that he could fully understand them. Although this approach prevented him from becoming close with many people, it enabled him to think and act without prejudice or preconceptions, instead evaluating things strictly on their own merits. When he met his first and best friend, Ikuto Ryukotsusei, at the age of eight he learned to open up to people more, thus forming more bonds.

As he grew older, his initial detached demeanor vanished and he became more charismatic, outgoing, flamboyant, and somewhat talkative to the point of being responsible for the utter obliteration of the fourth wall most of the time. He had developed a certain degree of pacifism: he completely abhors violence, except in television and video games as they are not real, but will raise his sword and fight when need be.

When he turned ten, he began training tirelessly, sometimes alongside his father amongst other mentors, to improve himself as quickly as he could and subjected himself to all of the inconveniences of the world around him without complaint for the simple motivation of being useful as a follower of Michael. His commitment was borderline reckless and suicidal, due to training privately using extremely deadly methods. Being so accomplished enabled Kuro to approach problems less violently than others would, satisfying his peace-loving nature.

His training allowed him to mature by becoming a genuinely warm and caring person to his friends and comrades, although he can be reluctant to acknowledge certain people. He became more open-minded, mellow, yet solitary, preferring to be out and about rather than stationary. He gains a habit of insulting others, but it is more comical than cold. Although, he is capable of being indifferent if it is necessary. Also, despite being out of the house often, he still keeps tabs on his family and friends. He is a nature lover, musician, and an artist. His all-time favorite thing to do is to lay on the plains, taking a nap and enjoying the values of Earth. Despite loving nature and its creature, he hates spiders and dislikes rats and other rodents, except for the pygmy jerboa, his favorite animal.

Despite his age, however, Kuro has a bit of an innocence streak as a result of being away from city life for most of his life. As such he has moments where he is in a rather compromising situation, he reacts with either embarrassment or confusion. Any amount of flirtation thrown his way is either disregarded or met with flustered silence, which only serves to draw in more female affection. He also does not understand the concept of pornography (he read one porno book that Ikuto accidentally left open, but had instead thought that the characters were huddling together for warmth).

He possesses a great amount of loyalty and protectiveness for his loved ones. He never wants to include them into his personal trials and tribulations for fear of endangering them despite being called out on it numerous times. He is also very noble and honorable, usually helping his opponent to his feet once defeated and is somewhat unwilling to gain an unfair advantage against them with proper motivation.

During combat, Kuro enters what Ikuto jokingly dubs "Combat Mode." In this "state," he remains composed and unconcerned, remaining somewhere between stoic and matter-of-fact. While he is confident in his abilities, he knows better than to underestimate his opponent and tends to remain composed and unconcerned. Although, he can sometimes rush into combat without any semblance of strategy and ultimately suffers for it, though acknowledges his mistakes. However, he does not seem to be taking steps to rectify this flaw. Also, during the heat of battle, he sometimes performs actions that seem cynical or cold-hearted, such as immediately attempting to kill his opponents right from the get-go, as well as being so focused on taking his adversary down that he completely disregards his allies' safety.

Kuro is very blunt, not being afraid to speak his mind. He openly calls people out on their flaws, usually not caring about the consequences of such. He is not afraid to show affection either. But he is capable of showing cold indifference if he is forced to keep a secret or talking to someone he is unwilling to trust.

One running gag is that Ikuto is under the assumption that Kuro can read minds. In actuality, it's because of the fact that Kuro and Ikuto have known each other for so long that he can accurately deduce what the latter is thinking and when he's thinking it.


— POWERS & ABILITIES

Swordsmanship: Kuro demonstrates a natural aptitude in the ways of the sword, including anything sword-shaped. He wields the Aublade with incredible proficiency in speed, power, and skill, allowing him to perform feats such as stopping and deflecting bullets, decimating large objects or areas, cutting through solid material such as steel, and even hold back his strength to deal damage to his foes without killing them. His remarkably fast weapon control allows him to bypass obstacles in order to cut his intended target.

Elemental Manipulation: Kuro can release and use elements to attacks of various shapes and/or intensities, either projected, used as a part of melee attacks, etc. It allows him to give his natural properties. He can turn his aura into the basic natural elements: fire, earth, water, lightning, and wind. He uses hand signs before issuing these techniques, but they're mainly cosmetic (he watched a lot of ninja anime as a child) and he never grows out of it either. This ability also has some utilitarian purposes as well such as using lightning to charge cell phones (which he explicitly exploits).

Gravitational Manipulation: Kuro possesses the ability to utilize and manipulate attractive and repulsive forces with objects and people through the mark on his palm. He can bend gravity to make the environment very "heavy" or "light," cause objects to "fall" toward another object instead of the earth, flatten objects, and generate miniature black holes to compress objects. A more powerful application is summoning a miniature black hole to draw in everything in its surroundings to generate a meteorite that he can freely control (Okay, I'll admit: this is Chibaku Tensei from Naruto. I'm sorry, I love that move! X-P)

He can also apply this to himself to increase and decrease his own weight (less weight=flight manipulation; more weight=root himself to the ground to keep upright)

The catch: he can't use it in succession and is obligated to a "recharge" time after each use. The length of the recharge is dependent on how many objects are being manipulated and/or the general properties of said object (weight, size, etc.)

Regenerative Powers: Kuro has a certain degree of healing abilities: he can stabilize life forces and restore missing organs and limbs through physical contact with the mark on his palm. Although it does have its limits; he can only use this technique once per person and it drains his power substantially. Also, if the subject is on the verge of death, while he can restore their life force, the subject is put in a nigh-irreversible coma until their powers can regenerate, something which can take a very long time.

Flight: Being half-Angel, Kuro is able to fly using his silvery white wings
