Name: Kurogane Ichiro
Aliases: Ichiro, Kuro, Ichi
Race: Human
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Occupation/Class: Apothecary/Court Member (Through relation, not an adviser or council member)
Orientation: Straight
Physical Description:
Personality Description: Born of a Daimyo Court Official, Ichiro has learned that taking things too seriously proves to be absolutely no fun. Through this early lesson in life he began his first artistic endeavor; comedy through sarcasm! While other children were being forced into learning the ways of the Court and its caste system and ranking, Ichiro spent his time giving false compliments to snooty, stuck-up boys and girls. He had hoped fully that one day one of these bratty girls would be forced into the life of a geisha, or perhaps even a slight bit less hopefully one of the boys be ripped away from the lush lavish lifestyle of a High Court child and sold into slavery.
Ichiro has always dreamed of being a swordsman and Samurai, like his uncle whom served under the Ashikaga Shogunate. He thought nothing better than sporting lacquered, thick leather armor, with a fierce and intimidating firey moustached-mask and mythically inspired helmet. His uncle, on his father's side, was named Kurogane Tenma but would soon be known as Yoshitsune Kotaro, better known as The Red Warrior. The helmet he sported contained a large emblem of a golden sickle on the front. Ichiro had always wondered how his uncle had earned such a name, The Red Warrior, for he had heard they called his uncle such due to his armor being soaked in blood. Then again, Ichiro had heard the alias from Kotaro himself. Ichiro knew his uncle was a terrific swordsman, but he'd never thought such a loving and caring man could be so brutal. Ichiro is well mannered when he wishes to be, if only due to love and respect through the memories of his uncle, but on most occasions is very jarring to new acquaintances.
This is due to his impulsive child-like nature, and his desire to constantly draw attention to himself through sarcastic or controversial remarks. Others often find themselves taking Ichiro far too seriously by drawing themselves into a debate with him. While he is caring and affectionate, when he sees an opportunity to pluck a nerve, he makes every effort to do so. Whilst he is very sarcastic and generally very abrasive, he is a very outgoing person and loves to meet new people. Ichiro carries himself with a smile and his head held high, yet a watchful curious eye and a strut to his stride. Ichiro loves to philosophize and question the meaning of existence. The idea of conciousness. The concept of life. He is a very free thinker, believing some answers to life lay within the stars.
Because of his otherworldly view on life, he is very artistic and attuned to the ways of visual art and he is highly keen on fashion especially. While he may seem strangely flamboyant, he remains extremely masculine and engaging. Overall, Ichiro is a smart ass of sorts. But make no mistake, he truly is intelligent. Mathematics were never really his strong point but he took a liking to science, chemistry specifically, and began studying apothecary. He would spend many days crushing and mixing combinations of plants together, taking notes on their effects and trying to make ailments for illnesses as simple as the common cough. While not a professional, Ichiro gained quite a bit of knowledge and experience traveling through different parts of Japan. Each new plant or substance he came across was written down on a piece of soft yellow reed paper, along with it's location found and its effects. Not only did Ichiro take an interest in medicine, he also found himself becoming extremely interested in mysticism during his later adolescence. It was through dabbling with his concoctions he found "enlightenment" as he calls it. An expansion of the mind, and an acceptance of any and all things.
His interest in the "universe", conciousness, and God could also have possibly stemmed from the death of his younger brother, Jiro, as he was to be named. But along with this past memory and mysticism comes into play his sometimes cynical and self-destructive attitude. Ichiro has small bouts with depression from time to time, often wondering how things would be had he had a little brother. Ichiro had one scenario he liked to imagine: sneaking behind one of the older children of the court house and squatting down, so that Jiro may have the pleasure of pushing said child down so the two brothers might laugh together. Or perhaps the two could train to become better Samurai than Yoshitsune Kotaro. Clearly, these are memories that were never meant to be, and though simple it may seem, it leaves Ichiro in shambles from time to time.
Likes/Dislikes:
History:
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Weapons/Armor:
- Special mixes of herbs and or spices to create blinding powder (much like the black egg used by ninja)
- Katana
- An assortment of vibrantly colored shirts, trousers, and bandanas.
- When traveling to collect plants and carry supplies for apothecary work, he also carries a knapsack slung across his chest and over his back.
Magic: Some may call it magic, but Ichiro dabbles in work as an apothecary, or a medicine man of sorts. He enjoys the enlightening experiences he recieves from the substances he combines. Also, he knows how to make some wicked poison when he has the necessary ingredients.
