Bio: When Kuro was 19, he was living the perfect life. He had an amazing fiancé, he had just finished cooking school, and the happy couple had just been approved to adopt their first child. He couldn’t be happier, but like all good things, it all came crashing down one horrible night. He came home to the door bashed in and his fiancé fighting one of the most notorious villains in the country. His fiancé’s hair was white and his eyes shown red, Kuro recognized him to be the hero known as Whiplash. He cried out as his fiancé got knocked down and ran forward, but he was hit by the villain and sent back into the wall, losing consciousness. When he came to, the villain was gone and his fiancé lay dying in their living room. Kuro ran to him, but there was nothing he could do but hold him as he slowly faded to dust. All that was left was the blood coating Kuro and soaking into the wounds he’d gotten from being thrown. That night he shifted, gaining his fiancé’s powers but remaining half human. He moved, leaving the country and training himself to fight and control his powers. When he was ready, he returned for his revenge.

The villain went underground after his fiancé’s death, many thought him dead, but Kuro knew better. When rumors of the villain’s return began to spread, Kuro was ready for him. He’d already established himself as one of the primary ‘heroes’ in the city, though he was often critiqued for his brutality when dealing with criminals. He hadn’t ever killed anyone, but it had been close. Especially when it came to abusive assholes. He didn’t treat men and women any different from each other. If you were a criminal, you were going down. Period.

His day persona is the total opposite of Nora. Kuro opened a small café called The Book Club. IT was filled with comfortable seats and books and was his own little haven. He would tease his customers and smiled frequently. He was well liked and spent his days behind the counter making drinks and sweet treats, surrounded by books. Whenever anyone asked about his eyepatch he would sadly tell them he was in an accident that took his fiancé and his eye. “He took part of me with him,” he would say with a small laugh. Most people left it alone after that. No one would ever connect the dark haired, friendly café owner Kuro with the white haired vigilantly Nora.

Appearance:

( I'm clearly too lazy to make a layout and I probably will be for forever )

He should have learned more magic as a familiar, another spell appearing under his feet, causing him to jump a little too high to avoid the claws of this new lackey villain.

"GET BACK HERE! STOP MOVING" It shouted, clawing again.

And he jumped again, landing on its head, bending over to make eye contact. "So uh, why are you doing this again?"

it screeched and jabbed its claws into its face, the hero flipping back, hearing the power surge as the beast practically electrocuted itself. The tingles of electricity made him feel warm again, like his nerves were active. It was nice.

"Have you considered just, not being evil!" He shouted, quite sure that this villain had probably considered that.

Instead it charged blindly, the green electricity crackling back around him and shooting out like vines. Finnian didn't dodge fast enough, stepping back only to lower on his second step.

"My foot!" And it was still over there, where it didn't belong. He snapped to try and get his foot walking to him, and all it did was flop on its other side.

The villain charge again, Finnian hobbling in a very awkward run.

A foot bumped into his other one, the undead pausing to look down before looking at where it came from, the look of surprise falling dead. "It keeps together just fine." He called, shoving his leg onto his foot, the magic lighting up and reconnecting, and just in time, he backed up to avoid a another whip of lightning.

"Maybe not defeat you," the villain said with a grin. "But perhaps show you two the strength of my power, give yo both a taste!" and another shot was fired off before he charged, only for Nora to avoid.

"Don't give him a name!" the man called from the other side of the street. "Naming things gives them power!" a spell lit up and he jumped onto the canopy above him, another jump, and onto the roof. Ah, there went that crazy look in his eye again. How was this guy a hero?? he probably ate the guy who rejected his hero application.

"I'm pretty sure he bleeds red." he said weakly. Man, he always got the heebie-jeebies. "I'll get him for you if you want the credit!" and jumped down, running forward just as Green Streak prepared another attack.

Finnian grabbed him, the spell circle appearing, and jumped up, the wind whistling around them.

"Let me GO!" A fist pressed too hard into Finnian's gut, lightning bursting from the back, then over, and over, and over again.

"Alright, I'm letting you go." A jump sideways before he jumped down, using the spell behind his hands to thrust Green Streak downwards towards the creepy one, hearing his screams, watching electricity shock everywhere as though that would help soften the oncoming concrete.

The living zombie fell face first into the roof of a building, laying there as screaming and electricity filled the air.

"Ugh," He sat up, feeling a broken everything, but inspection just showed fractures, mostly, except his nose. That was definitely broken. Tongue wiggling his teeth, he climbed down the building, a dislocated shoulder failing him, causing him to fall once again onto the concrete. "Uuuuuugh." The screams had died down, and he looked over to see the teethy one spit blood out. How disgusting.

It must have shown on his face because he was scolded from it. "I can't think of anything more disgusting than vampire-ing the s**t out of someone." Getting up for the umpteenth time in the span of an hour, he dusted himself and limped over to the now smokey body, looking the nearly-dead man over before some magic had him landing back in the air, bouncing after Nora. "So what're you doing?? You interrupted my fight, so clearly you weren't there to help me."

Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. He should magic a sound effect into these that would be hilarious. "What're we doin?"

"I can totally help what I am" was the response. "I'm sure if I tried really hard I could probably turn myself into something else. Like a werewolf, or even human. That'd be cool." Another few more infinite bounces, making them nice and short like he was a stone being skipped across a pond. He landed beside Nora. "Hunting what?"

Shame? A white coat??? "No, I don't think I did. I got kinda distracted when the grocery store--AH! MY GROCERIES!" He stared in horror where the burnt out grocery store used to be, zapped to death by Green Streak's powers. "Tonight was pot roast night." A sad mewl let him, crouching down before climbing down behind Nora. "The closest store now is like a twenty minute drive! I don't even own a car!" Another pathetic mewl, laying on the ground. "Shame owes me groceriieess. Every time he's involved I lose something!" Nora was walking away, the cat getting up and following after him.

"Heeey. Do you have a car? The guy's not here do you think you can drive me to Safeway?"

The man meowed pathetically from his spot, Nora ditching him, leaving him alone. Ah well. Maybe he wouldn't cook tonight. Kicking the ground he turned and decided to walk home.

Then Nora spokke, the zombie looking back with a smile. "Thank you!" And followed eagerly to the car. "Most people do. It's just pot roast. It'll be in and out." The walk was silent, and when the car was found, it was-- "Super cool! How do you own this? Are you rich?" he gently touched the car. "isn't a car this dark illegal? Are you Batman?" But eagerly got in, feeling the leather underneath his butt. This was so luxurious.

"If I stink, it's my natural musk." And grinned, buckling in and relaxing as they drove. The leather smelled nice. He just cleaned the interior recently, it was dust free. He fiddled with the window button for a minute, watching how fast it rolled up and down before changing the radio station, and the air condition, he shifted the vents to face him, practically everything before Nora asked him another question.

"Home would be nice. You don't have to. You'll discover my secret identity." and gave a curious grin, wondering if Nora would even do such a thing. "Yea, it's late now, but it wasn't earlier. I'll probably have sandwiches for dinner and for lunch tomorrow."

"Really?? Are you sure?? Man this is such a fancy car I'd pull it over just to see who drove it!!" He bounced excitedly as the Safeway came into view. "I live nearby! So I'll be seeing you whenever again!! There's always something bad happening, and us heroes need to stick together!" he gave a thumbs up before watching it fall off. "Ah, I guess my magic is running low. Welp. better get to shopping before I fall apart. See you around Toothless!" Getting out, the man stretched and quickly walked into the safeway, a few people leaving giving him stares and hurriedly walking away.

Tomorrow would be a new day indeed! Now stew materials. Stew. Stew. Aw man his phone must've exploded with that last store!!!
