Kurenai

Ichiro Kagari, often referred to as Kurenai (紅, lit. crimson), is a player of Evoked Legends Online.

Appearance
Kurenai, as his name would suggest, wears a lot of crimson red in his outfit. He is well known for the long, crimson three-tailed trench coat, adorned with various straps and buckles. A series of buckles keeps the coat together over Kurenai’s body, with some buckles left unused for style. Underneath this coat is his personal, form-fitting battle suit. This suit is a dark crimson red, with details that very much resemble human muscle tissue. Dark silver armor plating is attached to the shoulders, most of the arms, chest, abdomen, the majority of the lower legs, and some on the thighs. On his forearms are a specialized type of gauntlets that have three slits in them; these slits are hidden compartments that deploy three shurikens at one given time. Both gauntlets have this feature, aside from their obvious protection feature. Kept strapped to his back is one of his swords, the Katana of the set. Held behind the waist is the other sword Kurenai owns, a Wakizashi. Both of their sheathes are dark silver, with their hilts being a slightly dark shade of silver than the sheathe. When operating on missions, Kurenai will equip a special helmet that comes in two components: the visor and the actual helmet itself. This helmet is very sleek and angular, with a crimson red glow in the visor whenever the visor is active.

Personality
One describes Ichiro perfectly: Cynical. He’s smart, very fit, and a good looking person. Physically, he’s the guy in any girl’s dream. His personality, not so much. He absolutely hates this world, and believes there are very few things worth living for. In fact, he would happily welcome death into his life as a friend if death were to take on a physical form. Being able to accept death so easily, Ichiro is able to kill without remorse, especially with his in-game job. Despite this, he still refuses to kill certain types of people, and acts on his own personal code of honor. Ichiro sticks strictly to this code, and will go out of his way to make good on this code of honor. However, his cynical demeanor does soften up when around cats, as he finds cats to be particularly adorable. Ichiro is also known for his sadistic nature, both in-game and IRL. Of course, he has to keep the murder fantasies to himself, so he saves it for ELO instead.

Background
Ichiro was born to a normal family, regular parents, a little sister. By the age of ten, he had experience bullying, beat-downs from other students, and even having been temporarily hospitalized after one of these beatdowns. Right after he was released from the hospital, his parents divorced due to a growing argument between them. Ichiro was to stay with his mother and sister, while his father moved along with his life; depression began to overtake Ichiro slowly, and his cynical nature began to further develop. However, his father was reported to have died a mere week after leaving, dying in a plane crash supposedly caused by a terrorist hijacking. His sister, only eight years old at this time, barely understood what happened and only understood that she wouldn’t be seeing her father ever again. When Ichiro was twelve, his mother was raped and murdered one day on her way to the grocery store. Depression was greatly affecting Ichiro, and his cynical nature was developing at a faster rate as a result. As Ichiro and his sister were walking home one day, a strange man stopped them. The man then took Ichiro’s sister and ran off to a nearby alleyway. Ichiro took chase, only to be stopped by the strange man, who had stabbed him and left him to bleed out as the man raped his sister.

Fast-forward to age 14. Ichiro’s cynical nature has fully blossomed, and he hates this world. His sister had been killed after she was raped, and the man who had done this was imprisoned. Ichiro now lives with his aunt and uncle. The school he was attending was filled to the brim with people who would bully without remorse, among other things. This school was special, due to its junior high and high school combination; this means that students in junior high section of this school wouldn’t need to transfer to a separate high school. People in this school were known for having excellent graduates, but they were also notorious for their black market. Girls would often flaunt their bodies, boys would constantly harass the “weaker” guys, even a few teachers had illicit connections. Ichiro didn’t fit in at all, so the boys would harass him constantly. Even some of the girls would harass him for lack of “hotness” as they would put it.

Age: 16. Ichiro is in the high school section now. Students in his school have taken to using VRMMO games for their illicit actions; some had even gotten the newest game: Evoked Legends Online. His aunt and uncle had bought him a VRMMO to let him blow some steam. ELO became a whole new world to Ichiro and the students of his school. This time, Ichiro had power. And what did he do with this power? Become a mercenary and take out his school-time bullies. What can the bullies do about it? They don’t know who this mysterious mercenary known as Kurenai really is.
