-- Kuro Adumo
Kuro Adumo is a wandering soul, searching for his missing friends with the aid of beings from beyond the grave
Table of ContentsBackstoryKuro, by and large lived a normal life in Wyoming until he was a teenager, where during a sleepover with some friends, he was dared to break as many rules on the Ouija board as he could. Borrowing the one his friend had, he did. It went well at first, nothing seemed to be happening outside of the weirdness you'd expect from playing with one of those boards...
But then it all went wrong.
One ghost noticed that the teen had not followed any of the rules when talking to the dead through the board, which was sort of contract between mortals and ghosts in exchange for banning possession…once they noticed that, they felt that all bets were off, and tried taking Kuro's body. Then, another ghost noticed and tried the same thing, then another, then another...
Kuro doesn't remember anything that happened after this. All he remembers is blacking out, and then waking up on the floor, his skin as pale as a ghost's, and his eyes now being a gray...And his friends were nowhere to be seen. He searched everywhere he could, but he couldn't find them. Oh, and he could now see ghosts. And given how he had broken literally all the rules of the Ouija board, they were aware of his crime and how he was free game to possess, which they did... rather frequently at that. He spent years trying to fight it: trying to ward of the possessions, trying to control when they happened, and trying desperately to regain control every time it happened, to no avail...
It was only when he reached adulthood that he realized fighting them wasn't going to help him: He would go insane if he kept going, resulting in him losing himself to the dead, and becoming nothing more than a deranged puppet. Not only that, he noticed there were some....habitual possessors, ghost that often possessed him to do whatever the hell they wanted. He then came up with an idea. He still didn't know what happened on that night, didn't have a clue where his friends had gone... Maybe the dead knew best.
So, he began speaking with them, rather than fight them. One thing led to another, and soon he was working out deals with the dead, usually in exchange for info and leads. Most of the dead did want people dead, but not just for Kuro to kill them: No these ghosts wanted to experience the thrill of the kill themselves, so they often provided Kuro with who to look for and where to go, but would not ever kill them himself: That was for the ghosts and the ghosts only to enjoy. But after the murder, he'd get his info in the form of something written in his logbook. This led him to become essentially a hitman for the dead, getting close to targets with a friendly personality before suddenly switching and killing the person, before covering up the murder using whatever worked best and his charming surface personality. |

Personality
Kuro is a fairly simple individual: He's charming, he's upbeat, he's quick witted. And he's a gun for hire. Meaning he is indifferent to violence, and will engage in it if he needs to. Although, you shouldn't have to worry about him targeting you: Unless some spirit wants you dead, he won't attack unless you attack first. He's not easily set off, but he takes a long while to cool off if he gets pissed off.
