Kurai Jack Jade

This character is the property of KuraiJack.

Appearance
Kurai has a average build with a slightly muscular frame. His build makes him more suited to speed but he has got a decent amount of strength thanks to intense training. His eyes are like empty purple jewels that glisten in the sunlight and his har is as soft as a cats fur coat.

He wears a torn lightweight black cloak that allows him to hide the movements of his arms in battle and light black clothing with purple markings that remind him of his old home which had similar markings similar to the ones on his mothers dagger. He has small boots that absorb the impact of a large fall. On his arms he has armor coated with a mixture of dust that allows him to control his blades from short distances.

Weapons & abilities
He has a high level of strength, speed, durability and reflexes due to his training with Master and was taught by his mother how to be a skilled swordsman at a young age. The teachers in his old town also taught him techniques and skills to prevent people being able to control or read his mind, this also allows him to take more hits from telepathic attacks. He has no aura abilities and relies strictly on all his other senses.

His unique weapon is a pair of samurai blades covered with small glowing cracks called the Ghost blades. They were a present from his mother for his studies, but were destroyed during the Grims attack. He afterwards rebuilt the blades from their broken pieces and are now hold together by his mothers aura. They are also none magnetic.

The blade can absorb energy, a enemies aura and blows in battle. It allows the user to create temporary copies of himself that last for three seconds but have almost all of his abilities, though this does take A LOT of energy from the user so it is only used as a last resort. Due to the aura it can do quite som damage to creatures of the Grimm, but because of its abillity to absorb auras, it's its own weakness.

Since its upgrade, Kurai created special armored arm warmers filled with purple dust that allows him to control the blades from short distances and enhance his arm strength a bit.

Kurai doesn't try to predict his enemies movements. He keeps his mind in the present to make himself ready for any attack. Due to his training he can find a opponents rhythm and dodge their moves. He prefers to let his opponents attack first, but this is mainly so that he can launch a counter attack more easily. Kurai tends to use a fighting style similar to Escrima, a martial art style where the user employs one or more rods to subdue their opponent.

Personality
He is an extremely calm and composed individual due to Master training him to bottle his emotions of anger and revenge, allowing him to remain a enigma to both enemies and allies alike. As a result, not much is known of his true personality by anyone who he met after joining Master, although the has show some traits through his actions, such as a strong sense of justice, respect for his men, a strong dislike for those who look down on the fauna, an intense dislike to lose, fiercely dedicated and, borderline obsessive in accomplishing his goals.

He is good friends with Gretel, Maki and Hansel, though he and Hansel have a bit of a rivalry when they train together.

He has a lot of respect for Master and owes him his life, though Master treats him the same as all his other students.

Backstory
He was born in the town of Tenth, which was inhabited by people who came form a long line of powerful hunters. His mother Mulan Jade, was one of the towns greatest swordsman and often competed in the towns weapons contests. He would often cook for her when she returned from the contests. Mulan trained him to be a skilled swordsman and techniques to protect his mind in battle. After a while she met a book author named "Goldstein" Melira and decided to become a author so she could spend more time with her son.

He decided to go and study abroad for a while, his mother gave him two blades for his studies. But one day he saw some of his classmates about to attack a group of defenseless fauna when nobody was looking. He defeated them in battle, but when a number of people came to see what all the noise was about, they thought that it was him attacking the fauna and the other junior hunters and by court order was banned from all combat schools.

Having no where to go, he decided to head back home, but when he arrived, he saw a large hoard of Grim attacking, his mother was destroying most of the Grimm that approached the people who were trying to escape. He decided to try to lure the Grimm away from them, but just when it looked like they were about to win a masked man attacked Mulan from behind, With all the noise around her, she never saw it coming. Out of rage Kurai charged towards the man, but he grabbed Kurai by the neck and threw him into one of the buildings.

When Kurai regained consciousness, everything, everyone, was gone, His own home, now in ruins.Then a man in a black robe approached him and offered him training alongside a number of other skilled men and women to become a powerful warrior like his mother was. Kurai agreed and used his brocken blades to create the Ghost blades. He was then taken to one of the many hidden bases built by his new teacher, one who called himself Master, and grew in speed, strength, and skill. During this time Master forced him to keep his aura locked and forbid him to use it no matter what happens.

The training schedule was mostly virtual training and missions. Through rigorous training he earned the respect and loyalty of his fellow 'classmates' and seniors. He befriended a girl who was also under Masters command called Gretel. He helped her with her training and the two created a combat robot called Hansel. Gretel loved their creation and treated Hansel like he was her brother. But after a while Gretel grew suspicious as to what Master was planning as his training lessons were more focused battling hunters instead of creatures of the Grimm and left his organization. She tried to convince Kurai to leave also, but he felt that he owed Master his life. They then said farewell, as a goodbye gift they gave each other friendship bracelets.

He and his men roamed through cities, using his new skills as a renegade, catching criminals and hunting the man who took all that he loved away from him. He later became friends with a student at Beacon called Maki and offered to help her train seeing that they were much alike. Then he decided to help out more students in case Gretels suspicions about Master were true, and promised Gretel that if she helped him find and defeat Mask that he would leave Master.

During one of his trips to the ruins of Tenth, he met Melira who came to pay her respects. He then gave her a book. The last one his mother had ever written. It had two copies, one for Kurai and one for Melira.
