Kuroki


Simply put, Kuroki is a shadow of his sire. Standing tall at 45 inches he’s a big, strong lad and likes to throw his weight around accordingly. He carries a little less bulk compared to his Father, who’s all trained muscles and brute strength, but he still manages to slot into the medium build. When he moves he’s heavy on his paws and makes no attempt to hide his presence or approach. He tends to slouch a little, like standing straight is too much effort.
He’s not a full-blooded koi-wolf, but his markings make his heritage pretty damn obvious, even to the untrained eye. The base of his fur is his Mother’s greyish black and is dominated with blueish-black splodges that shine iridescent, like crow or raven feathers. His Klein heritage makes itself known through the streaks of white on his coat. They cover the base of his throat all the way to the tip of his muzzle. And then to the underside of his tail, where it frays at the edges as it blends in. Splodges of orange mar his from his neck down to his hind legs and serve as unwelcome reminders of Hattori and his stubborn koi genes. He’s also inherited the little genetic hiccup of white paw pads, inner ears and brows. But somehow, probably from his mother’s side, his nose is a pale pink.
His facial features are sharp and handsome, accented by dark eyes that blend in with the shadow of his face. Kuroki is expressive, even if his eyes are hard to see, and often wears a know-it-all smirk. He’s not much of a frowner but when he does he looks remarkably like his sire, a fact that annoys him far more than he’d want to admit.
Like all of his siblings Kuroki has several mutations. He’s got his father’s antelope horns and they’re the same size and length, except his back pair are white and the front black. Again taking after his Father he’s got eagle talons and his toes are just as dexterous. Finally, his thin sabres are a throwback to his great-grandfather and aren’t uncommon within his family. All these combined with his dark, almost unseen eyes give him a monstrous, oni vibe. Hence, the name Kuroki (Black oni/monster).
Basically, he’s a big handsome and edgy boy.
appearance
Kuroki really isn’t the strong and silent type. In fact, he can best be described as a punk, often going out of his way to be a pain in the ass just for the sake of it. He clashes with figures of authority, meaning his relationship with his father is strained at best and non-existent at worst. He’s quite the rebel and like any impulsive young man he does what he wants when he wants; regardless of the consequences or his parents wishes. He wasn’t born a bad kid nor does he hate his family, he simply acts out to gain a sense of control because at least then the negative attention he receives is on his own terms. And not dictated by a man whose expectations are far too heavy for Kuroki to bear. He’s the black sheep of the litter and he wears the title like a badge of honour, or so he’d like to think.
That being said he’s not all bad. Beyond the drama he’s a laid back kind of guy and not a lot bothers him or gets under his skin. He’s a bit of a social butterfly, revels in it really, and speaks with a lazy sort of drawl, with curses and slang thrown in all over the place. He’s casual at best and outright uncouth at worst, but for the most part he doesn’t mean anything by it. If anything Kuroki takes after his Mother in this department as he’s sharp of wit, tongue and is a shameless flirt. Despite it all, Kuroki has a very firm sense of right and wrong. He despises bullies and will often go well out of his way to stand up for what he thinks is right. If he sees someone being a dick he can and will slap them.
He's fluent both in English (the common tongue) and Japanese, and is well-read in both languages and cultures but sucks at writing. From his childhood he has a lingering fondness for folklore and stories, but makes a point of writing them all off as just that. Fake and made up to prove a point or make someone feel better about themselves or their beliefs. He is not religious and does not strictly follow the Abraxas faith, often going out of his way to poke fun at those who do.
In all he acts like a bad boy but he’s alright. Mostly.
