At one point in time, Kurou was a paragon of a student, who showed selfless tendencies, had outstanding grades, and never seemed to be too busy to help another in need. However, due to a certain event, his personality did a 180 and he hasn't been the same since. Whereas once he never seemed to stop smiling, as if a bright beacon of all that was right in the world, he now rarely finds himself doing so at all. - in fact, the closest thing to that is a smirk, perhaps due to something less-than-admirable.
Kurou does not take interest in things that don't pertain to or effect him, and he's definitely not that sympathetic anymore. Complaining to him would simply annoy him and his typical response is to ignore things that annoy him. He's somewhat unapproachable because he often has a very disinterested look on his face, or a glare if he's feeling particularly unhappy for whatever reason. Most people would advise not interacting with him too much during these periods, as that is when he is most irritable and unfriendly, not that he's much for friends at this point anyway. He is capable of talking and chatting up his fellow classmates, but through observation one would find none of the people he talks to make for a friend. Rather, he seems to only be capable of acquaintance-tier relationships. Even his recent girlfriends would appear awkward. Despite being the eldest brother, Kurou is a bit immature. He dislikes responsibility and avoids taking on something if he can. He would much rather take a nap at home than to do anything school-related, though it should be noted that he manages to retain fairly good grades in spite of this. It should also be mentioned that Kurou resents both his father and his brother, to some extent. His relationship with his father is strained to the point where he is almost openly hostile to the man, but with his brother, he is simply jealous and bitter of the attention the younger sibling gets. At the very least, he hides it well enough, especially compared to how he deals with his father.
Deep down inside, however, Kurou is not actually a bad person. Part of the younger Kurou still exists, buried beneath a rotten exterior, and makes itself apparent on rare occasions. Once he has decided to do something, he does so with everything he has and will not cease until it is completed fully. You can be sure that if he's made a promise, that he'll keep it no matter what happens. And, while more subtle, people he is closer with may pick up on the fact he might go out of his way to do something for them, while perhaps passing it off as an annoyance instead. He would, of course, never admit that he did it because he was concerned for that particular individual, but that does not mean it isn't true. Unfortunately, however, these same people are subject to a bit more sadism than a stranger, but that's just the price one pays for snapping the man out of his apathy towards someone.
βQuirksβ
- β Cracking Knuckles || Something he does quite often, as a means to cure his boredom when he's idle. In a way, people can use this to tell his mood: he cracks all at once when he's bored, all separately when he's thinking, and cracks all separately, very slowly when he's irritated.
β Carnivore || Almost strictly eats meat, save for his favorite fruit. Surprisingly manages to keep a slimmer figure than one would expect given the diet.
β Shirtless || He prefers to not wear a shirt at home. At all. Pants are optional too, during warmer seasons.
β Wasteful || Kurou does not appreciate money in the least, spending more than he should for things he shouldn't. Though this might benefit those who date him......
β Ignoring || If he has absolutely no interest in someone, they won't even be able to get a response from him. So, the very fact he talks to someone either means he doesn't mind them, or they're VERY high up on his shitlist. People can tell when he only talks to them because he hates them, so it won't be hard to mistake what you are.
βLikesβ
- β₯ Dogs || He has always been a dog person. He sees them as loyal, obedient, and fun.
β₯ Teasing || Also one of his habits. He enjoys the reactions some get from whatever it may be he's teasing them about, though he dislikes being on the opposite end of this.
β₯ Strawberries || Like isn't the proper word for his addiction to strawberries. He loves them more than most other things in the world.
β₯ Video Games || Not the biggest gamer, but oftentimes he finds it to be more enjoyable than doing nothing at all, or to blow off steam at home.
βDislikesβ
- β His father || At this point it could be said that Kurou hates his dad, both for not being there for them in general, and for 'causing her death'
β Being touched || Any unrequired contact really doesn't stand well with him if it's someone he isn't actually close with
β Cats || Kurou has a mild allergy to cats and simply doesn't like their behavior. To him, they're just nuisances who don't listen.
β Gullible people/Himself || He was gullible enough to believe being good did something for him. Anybody who blindly trusts something must be stupid.
βFearsβ
- β Agoraphobia || Ever since the tragedy, Kurou hasn't been able to even look at a mall on TV without starting to sweat, let alone go inside one. He attempted to visit one once, and it ended in him fainting. He also seems to feel uncomfortable in any super-crowded areas as well.
β Acrophobia || Kurou has always had an irrational fear of heights that can cripple him. He tends to avoid climbing up ladders and roofs.
β Death of a loved one || In spite of his disposition towards his family, be it known to them or not, he isn't so cold as to shrug off neither his father nor his brother's deaths, were they to happen. He can still worry, after all.

Before the tragedy that befell the Kitomura brothers and their father, Kurou was a bright young man likely destined to do much good in his life. He'd always been a chivalrous, good-doer with great grades that was popular with boys and girls alike. He often set the example for his fellow students, as well as his younger brother, whom he loved to no end. If there was one negative thing about him, it was that he was always a mother's boy and listened to everything she had told him, like how she always told him good things come to good people. Truly, Kurou was fated to live a perfect life with his perfect family, until a certain winter, where his life as well as himself took a major turn for the worse.
A homicidal maniac had managed to both steal his mother's life and plant the seeds of resentment unto Kurou.
This happened slowly, as for around a year and a half, Kurou had practically shut down as a person. His school life continued on as if nothing happened, but for this period of time, Kurou never really spoke or interacted with his father or brother as much when he returned home. His movements were all mechanical and routine and his enthusiasm was nonexistent, as if he was but a husk of a person. Internally, he felt betrayed by that which he trusted the most. His mother emphasized that good people do indeed earn good things, so why did he lose his mother? He was nothing but good, nothing but a just kid who expressed positive things. Yet his mother was murdered, and his father was never home.
Slowly, he twisted, but occasionally had sadistic moments that were, even in his eyes, quite immature. He made a show about rejecting a girl when he was very young, perhaps even causing her difficulties later on. And only a year later? He accepted another and treated it quite like a game, playing with the girl's emotions. And when it became evident that, despite her suggesting this 'dating' as a means to gain confidence to ask another out, that she had started to fancy him, well, he abruptly ended their 'relationship' without a word. Both because he wanted to leave her without closure
and because the one she liked wasn't the real him anymore.
It did not help that his father was never home. He was never home, and Kurou despised that. Had his father been home, they would still have a mother, wouldn't they? The Kitomura's would not have been in the mall, searching for things to greet their father with, if he was home in the first place, right? However weak or toxic the reasoning was, Kurou wasn't able to forgive his dad, and their relationship deteriorated just as quickly as Kurou's character. By the time he was 14, he'd become almost the exact opposite of what he was, and he's been this way ever since, perhaps becoming worse since now his brother was popular and busy most of the time.
A sad existence, he is.
