[hider=Kuro Nishi] [b]Name:[/b] Kuro Nishi [b]Age: [/b] 21 [b]Sex: [/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Weapon:[/b] [i]Tegen Toppa[/i] is a giant drill attached to the right hand, capable of breaking through concrete with complete ease. This is due to both it's dust battery, and it's unique design (spikes added sparsely to the sides to break up remaining rock). If the battery dies, it can also be powered by constantly pumping the trigger you grip it with, like a pump flashlight. Kuro also holds many flashbangs, used to disorientate the enemy, on his belt. [b]Specialty:[/b] Kuro is an assassin. First, one of his teammates distracts the opponent. If he does not have a teammate on hand to do that job, he uses a flashbang instead. Then, he gets around the opponent, frequently tunneling underground, as he can sense the vibrations of the ground better there. From under or behind the opponent, he strikes with his massive drill, dealing lots of damage. He then quickly escapes through the ground. This has numerous drawbacks. Firstly, some Grimm don't have eyes so if he doesn't have a teammate, he's screwed. Secondly, if he gets knocked into the air, or if the ground is to thick to break through, he loses a major movement option. [b]Semblance:[/b] [i]Pariter Stamus[/i] - In the presence of other beings with an aura, he 'bums off of' the energy from them. With every additional person on the field with Kuro he gets stronger, faster, and can sense better. This is done by taking the unusable spent energies of the aura, so as to not weaken his friends. [b]Personality:[/b] Kuro prides himself on being calm in all situations. Though he is not the leader, and would not enjoy being one, he is most often the voice of reason. He is humble, denying most public praise and pushing it onto his teammates. He feels as if he doesn't deserve it, being blind. He depends on others a lot, and says that the best way to accomplish things is together. He is not particularly outgoing, but if others ask of his help, he will often help them, as he requests assistance from others too. His favorite food is fish, and he enjoys the smell and wind of the ocean, due to them being relatively new to him. Overall, he tries not to allow his blindness define him. Instead he tries to be a dependable friend whom you can always rely on, though he does need help occasionally.

His father created the symbol. [b]Bio:[/b] Kuro was born and raised in Vale to a very supportive father and mother who encouraged him to follow his dreams. His mother always read him stories of great hunters, and this motivated him to try and follow in their footsteps. Unfortunately, when he was young, he was quite short for his age, and got teased frequently. Still, he persevered and his superiors recognized his talent. Even though he was blind, he was still able to tell where his opponent was due to the vibrations in the ground, the volume of the sound, and the intensity of their smell. He was also an amazing speaker, able to quickly communicate and understand verbal ideas and tactics in the heat of battle. After getting accepted to Beacon, he was paired with 3 others. He frequently was mistreated by the group's leader, who thought Kuro was useless, until Kuro saved his life. Ever since than, the leader has treated every member of the team with respect. Now, the team is soon nearing graduation, and they're going to have to cooperate better than ever to get through. [b]Appearance:[/b] Kuro stands at a small 162 centimeters, or about 5'4". He is gaunt and skinny, with shallow cheeks and a hard jawline. His eyes are a pale ghostly white, due to his blindness. He hates them though, and is always wearing black, triangular glasses. He also wears his signature black jacket, with his emblem emblazoned on the back of it. The jacket is almost always unzipped, revealing a oddly standard white tee-shirt. His pants are generic jeans, faded and dusty with scrapes and cuts due to being underground so often. His shoes are made of light materials, to facilitate his sensing. To summarize, he is small and light, helping him move around the battlefield unnoticed and quickly. [/hider]
