DEMON, kuroda rei.

NAME: Kuroda Rei

ALIAS: The Black Dog

AGE: 125 years old

GENDER: Female

RACE: Demon

APPEARANCE:

✭ BASICS ✭
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 130lbs
Eye Color: Crimson Red
Hair Color: Jet Black

✭ DETAILS ✭
Despite her age, Rei tends to appear more like an average human female in her late teens and has very little trouble blending in. She is still considered relatively short, however, standing at only about five feet, two inches tall and weighing around one hundred thirty pounds. Rei is probably most recognizable for being fair skinned with long and silky, jet black hair that reaches just past her waist in length. Naturally straight, her hair features a series of rather unruly bangs which can often be found hanging in and around her face, often shaping it and adding to her somewhat enigmatic appearance. It's her eyes that tend to be the most recognizable feature of a demon though, appearing a striking shade of crimson in color and often very intense in their gaze.

Possessing a slender and athletic build, a certain amount of feminine curve can often be very recognizable to onlookers. Primarily seen in a pair of denim capri pants with a pair of red high heel shoes, she tends to sport a regular t-shirt over a tank top, though this can vary from time to time. Rei tends to lack any sense of fashion other than the general need for comfort. Because of this, she is rarely seen wearing jewelry with the exception of the occasional necklace or her more recognizable black choker, which appears similar to that of a dog collar. Outside of this, she bares few distinguishing marks with the exception of the occasional scar here and there, some of which are fairly old, but often hidden beneath her clothing or attire.

HISTORY: Rei was born more than a century ago in the Demon World as the illegitimate daughter of a lightning demon and notorious assassin, Kuroda Hajime. She spent her early days living and attempting to scratch out a living in the mountains of her home with her mother. She knew little of her father in those early years and rarely questioned the matter, if only out of love for her mother. Even so, the strife of war was soon to become a harsh reality for the young child. Bandits eventually began to raid the surrounding towns and it wasn't long before they had stumbled onto their home in the surrounding forest.

It was during one such evening that the bandits attacked and Rei's mother was murdered in an attempt to protect her child. Rei lashed out in anger at the bandits, but her efforts proved to no avail. She was badly beaten and if not for the sudden appearance of a mysterious stranger, it is most certain that Rei would have been killed or worse, sold off as a slave. When she awoke sometime later, Rei learned that the man was no simple wanderer, but in reality her missing father, a man who currently led a small clan of demon assassins.

Needless to say, Rei was less than thrilled with his late arrival, but knowing that she would die if left alone, Hajime knew he had no other choice except to take her with him. Kuroda Hajime was a hard man, known for the strict nature and discipline that he maintained among his ranks, a trait that allowed the clan to thrive and gain recognition. Thus, it came as no surprise to anyone that as his heir apparent, Rei was soon initiated into the arts of combat and martial arts. With her father's guidance, she also became very well read and became aware of the arts of stealth in warfare.

Over the next few decades that Rei spent among the clan, she became very close to it's members and especially to her father, who she grew to have a deep respect for. As expected, she proved to be a gifted fighter and a brilliant assassin. However, as all children must do, Rei eventually sought to expand her horizons and began to wander the demon world. She was eventually drawn into some of the various conflicts, earning a nasty reputation and the nickname, 'The Black Dog', a reference to her relentless and ruthless nature in hunting a target.

As years passed, however, Rei soon grew tired of the petty squabbles between factions and attempted to return home to rejoin her clan. However, upon her arrival, she was greeted with a horrific sight. What lay before were the charred remains of their former compound and the training grounds littered with the bones of the dead assassins. To Rei's shock and rage, she soon discovered that the compound had been attacked by an unknown enemy that had managed to wipe out the clan, and according to the stories, had killed her father. Rei was absolutely devastated.

Heartbroken and completely alone, Rei's views were drastically altered and with nothing left to live for, decided to devote her life to finding and killing the person responsible for the murders. Over the next fifty years, she would continue as an assassin, following leads and leaving a trail of bodies in her wake that only fueled her reputation. Never allowing the memory to slip from her mind, Rei became absolutely obsessed with her need to avenge her clan, but it was a justice that would never come.

With each new year the leads only turned up dead ends, until finally information dried up all together. Another year passed and Rei even traveled to the Human world with hope of uncovering some missed connection. Finally, Rei was forced to face that hard truth that if any chances of taking revenge for her clan existed, it had long since slipped from her grasp.

Alone and without any purpose or skills aside from killing, Rei decided to remain in the Human World, having tired of the constant warfare and hoping to seek out a more peaceful existence. Rei currently considers herself to be 'retired' as an assassin when questioned about it, but nevertheless, she continues to keep her skills sharp. Well, at least, when her nose isn't buried in a book. At present, she has since taken on the guise of a human and currently attends high school in Tokyo, in an attempt to remain under the radar and simply disappear into the overpopulated environment.
