Kuro

"That is powerful, and around on par with me. Actually, that is a little above me. But that isn't stopping me from kicking your sorry ass."

- Kuro to the 14th Saiyan as they fight

 Kuro  Alexander-Joseph Kuz (黒) was an RP character of TheGreatKuzon!. He is a full-blooded, enthusiastic yet hard-minded Saiyan man, who has two goals; to help the universe and win doing it. Kuro's an older member of The Lookout Crew, a universal warrior, and the famed Original Super Saiyan of legend (making him truly over 2,000 years old).

He has a hard mentality from a bad childhood and loneliness, and has battled depression his whole life, but is still a fun guy. He's widowed to Sari, and father to Nalece. His father was Kurmo. He disappeared from Earth becoming a universal nomad following the Herulean War, to pursue other interests, and wasn't seen for 15 years, until he returned during the Great Universal Revolution, a changed man. He lived the rest of his years as a nomad, as his family and friends all died and generations passed. He died in Age 1200, at age 168.

Overview
Kuro is a Saiyan who is truly a kid at heart, but has a hard mentality. He enjoys helping his friends and the universe, but has a hard time showing it. He can be arrogant at times, even ignorant, but he means well. He is also a trickster, and is very sarcastic and laid back. He prefers isolation, and is a do-it-himself kind of guy. He considers Kuzon his adoptive father, and tries to make him happy, even in death. He is very skeptical and uinformal. A special trait about Kuro is his ease to use transformations, he can switch back and forth easily and achieves them easily. Kuro, on several occasions, has risked and taken his own life to save the universe (he doesn't have much of a care for his own life).

Kuro was a slave child when on Planet Saiya. His 9 older brothers who looked exactly like him, lived with him in a farmhouse, and bullied him, who was youngest and a prankster. They were raised by a mean woman and their abusive father who was rarely home, who insulted Kuro a lot and threatened to sell him or kill him. Kuro had no love or guidance. When he died, for over 1000 years Kuro was alone in Other World with no care or love. Kuro first experienced love and care when Kuzon found him and Zan Jr was his master; causing him to respect them very much, but is bad at showing it. He truly respects them more than anything else, they are the only ones that loved him, as well as his partner Sari (whose late death effected him enough to make him go insane, as all these people were gone from his life now). He battled depression his whole life.

After reaching his limit and going insane, nearly destroying Earth, Kuro silently disappeared, into space, becoming a space-travelling nomad. For over 14 years, he was gone and unheard from, until returning during the Great Universal Revolution.

Appearance
Kuro has the typical appearance of a modern Saiyan, with shaggy black spiked hair, muscular build and a brown tail. He has a dark skin tone and very sharp eyes that are always hunting for good prey (fights). He wears light green gi with orange waist and wristbands, everywhere (not much of a formal person).

Beginnings (238 Before Age)
Kuro was born into slavery as part of the Saiyan Slave Trade going on on Planet Saiya at the time (thanks to his great-great grandfather), around 246 Before Age. He had nine siblings who looked exactly like him. He was bullied, abused and threatened by his own family (namely his father). He was a prankster and rebel as well.

Kuro's father, Kurmo, was a political nobleman, had several children and wives, and was abusive to all of them. He worked the kids and trained them to death, Kuro included. Eventually Kuro got sick of his treatment and stood up to him. After being beat around, Kuro sparked and transformed into a Great Golden Ape, and killed his father.

He destroyed the entire city he was in, and went on a rampage that lasted for hours across the planet. Everyone tried to stop him but he smashed them. Eventually, he self-destructed and took the planet with him. Following this, Kuro arrived in Other World, where he was sent to Heaven, and stayed for 1,278 years, alone. This was a dark period in his life.

When Kuzon, Lookout Crew warrior, died in Age 1040, he met Kuro in Heaven, seeing he was a young Saiyan (keeping his 8-year-old youth) with lots of potential. He exchanged a deal with King Yemma to send the boy back to life, and keep Kuzon in Other World. In the August of 1040, Kuro was sent to the living world, to Planet Earth, to start the next part of his life.

Joining the Lookout Crew (1040)
Following his revival on 22 August 1040, Kuro was struggling to climb onto the Lookout, when Zan and Terrek helped him up. Kuro fitted himself in and examined the setting. Zan then said he needed to fight a member of the Crew to officially be in it. Kuro showed his power by going Super Saiyan. Not long later, he went up to Zan and asked who he wanted him to fight. Topazo came up at that same time, and Zan said he needed to fight Topazo in a little battle. So he did. Little Kuro and Topazo did some hits, both equal, then made a blast clash, where Kuro used the Kamehameha that he later said learned from Kuzon in Other World. They kept going at it and finally Topazo won the blast clash but knocked Kuro into a tree where he started crying saying he gave him "boo boos". Topazo helped him up and said that he would offer to train him. Kuro cheered up and said yes. So they went off to train. His first lesson was learning the Masenko. Topazo tried it and Kuro tried it, he did perfect on his first try. Topazo told him good job and ruffled his hair, and Kuro then let out, saying he reminds him of the father he never had, so he then told him the entire story.

After going Super Saiyan 3 at full power and even Sapphire Super Saiyan once, it started to storm. Ethan told Kuro to look at the moon, but Kuro thought it was to distract him. Kuro soon looked at it and became a Great Golden Ape. He ran around a bit, tried to stomp Ethan a few times and even did a large dance number, but he soon became a Super Saiyan 4!!! Kuro then felt his power, and it was unbelievable. He then continued his fight with Ethan. CONTINUE

Spar with Nebula, Zero & Zante
August 2nd 2013

In early August of Age 1047, Kuro, Nebula, Zero and Zante decided to spar. They started on the Lookout, and then moved to The Ice World, in the northern Dragon Ball world. They went all out, and Kuro went Supreme Super Saiyan as soon as he could. He soon introduced his newest and most powerful attack, the Neo Ball. He used the ice, and water to his advantage in this fighting location, as them are Kuro's advantages. Kuro's weaknesses are heat and things related to it.

Later in the match, Kuro out of no where descended to Ascended Super Saiyan. He realized, his body could not handle Supreme Super Saiyan for long, so it descended him down. Kuro was tired though, so he went ahead and quit the fight, and went back to the Lookout and slept.

Main Article: PAGE RP: Kuro vs. the 14th Saiyan - the Second Super Match!

In this fight, Kuro returns to do another spar with the 14th Saiyan. So, they go back out into space to destroy each other in the ultimate spar. Kuro goes Supreme Super Saiyan immediately and he goes Full Power Super Saiyan. In the beginning of the fight, Kuro is the victor, because 14th is only a FPSSJ, and he is a SSSJ. So the 14th Saiyan powers up, to Super Saiyan 2, and they finally start going at each other. Kuro and the 14th Saiyan start to seem to be on par, but 14th starts proving to be his match (spite the huge power differences). Kuro then regains control, using his Neo Ball and other powerful attacks. 14th uses very powerful attacks as well, for example, shooting him through mountains, multiple mountains. Towards the end of the long fight, Kuro breaks 2 of the fingers on his left hand. Kuro is now weakened, and the 14th Saiyan defuses, into the 13 original Saiyans. Kuro attempts to kick all their asses, and he does, but they all start going at him together, severely proving Kuro's match. At the very end of the fight, Kuro stands up after being blown through several mountains, and gives a thumbs up to the 13 Saiyans, before he descends to his base and falls unconscious. Kuro lost and the 14th Saiyan won.

The Beasts on Planet Zhrix
August 17th, 2013

New Life (1050s)
Kuro began attending West City College in 1048, graduating in 1052 with a Degree in Art (yay). He got out High School at the same time, and at 17, he had a daughter, Nalece, with Sari, his girlfriend. Kuro never got married because he isn't the "marrying type", so they are just legal partners.

Kuzon was revived by Kuro on September 7th 1052, after he collected the Dragon Balls and wished him back. The second wish was used by Leogian to make his swords longer. Helena and the others gathered around, and waited. And waited. They waited minutes and minutes for Kuzon to appear on the Lookout, some thought it a mistake. Soon, Kuzon did appear on the Lookout. "Hey guys. I was at iHop eating pancakes. (wave)." Helena jumped on him and everyone greeted him and welcomed him back. Kuzon Jr., Kuza and Kuro also did. Kuzon seen how they grew, and also met his other two children; Kuzek and Kuzisa, whom was born while he was gone.

A man who arrived in a ship, was also awaiting Kuzon on the Lookout. The man said to him, that his children's descendants take over the universe and destroy everything. Kuzon negatively looks at him. The man goes back in time and comes back, and all of a sudden Kuzon has a scar and remembers him. He is confused.

The Universal War -- Enter Kochaku
September 21st, 2013

Kuro and Lumakai's Spar
December 31st, 2013

Kuro was on the Lookout, the final day of 1052, when he appeared and seen Lumakai. Kuro asked if he wanted to spar. Lumakai agreed. Kuro and him began. Kuro and Lumakai used small attacks at first, occasional fist attacks. From below, Kuro teleported down under the Lookout, and Luma teleported down there, made a Ki barrier and meditated. Kuro started making heat attacks to melt his barrier, which he damaged it. Kuro then went Supreme Super Saiyan, and busted Luma out of the barrier. Luma attacked Kuro, then blasted him down, 100 miles to earth like a bullet. Kuro smashed through the streets of Supreme City, into the sewer, which he got his head stuck in the water.

He got it out, and Luma then released an Ultimate Kamehameha at Kuro. Kuro countered it with a Supreme Kamehameha. Redneck humans watched and voted for the beams randomly coming out of the street and making roars. Kuro soon, ascended to Supreme Super Saiyan 2 in the midst of the beam clash. After this massive power boost, Kuro overpowered Luma, blew him to the Lookout and knocked him out. Kuro descended, and Kuzon and him stated he would get stronger. Kuro disappeared back home.

Role in the Holy Apocalypse arc (1063)
February 1063

Kuro played a very minor role in The Holy Apocalypse Arc. After the Existial Order appeared on the Lookout and told the Crew of the resummoning of Kochaku elsewhere in the 5th universe in 1063, Kuro appeared with Kuzon Jr. about not being able to come because of a strange barrier. Kuro didn't fight or care to fight in this, as he felt he would be better to just be sent to the Kai Planet with all the humans--including his family. Most likely because he was in the middle of a board game with them when it happened.

48-Year Lookout Hiatus
1052 marked the last year Kuro did anything in an arc, or worth noting. He would not have a major part in any Lookout Crew event fighting a major villain until October 1100, nearly 50 years after his prior Lookout Crew reign. In between that time, Kuro appeared to lay around all day in his couch doing nothing but mowing the lawn, and watching TV with a 5 o'clock shadow.

Wrong. Way off, actually. Kuro trained harder than anyone could even imagine in those 40 years. Whenever his family was away and no one was around, he could be in space in different locations training intensely hard. Due to this, after that many long years of super training like a real Saiyan, Kuro is about on Kuzon's level (deemed strongest of the Kuz Clan and one of them in the Lookout Crew). Kuro's first debut after his hiatus from most events was Oct 12 1100, during the Return of Carnus arc (below).

Return of Carnus Arc (1100)
October 12th 2014

Lookout Halloween Turkey Tournament
On Halloween 1100, at the Lookout Halloween Turkey Tourney, Kuro, wearing a gorilla costume, fought Ian in the first round. At the end of the fight, which lasted about an hour, both Kuro and Ian used Dragon Fists on each other. Ian impaled Kuro and Kuro impaled Ian. Kuro said he had a trick up his sleeve. Ian regenerated after being impaled; however, Kuro can't regenerate, therefore Kuro died. Ian lost from disqualification for killing. Kuro advanced, and fought Flandre in Other World. During his fight in Other World with Flandre, due to him not being able to be at the tournament, he kept the fight short and brief. At the end, Kuro destroyed Flandre with a Supernova and was purposely disqualified. Kuro dislikes tournaments in general. However, he knew he was getting rusty, and he suddenly disappeared after the fight..

After the tournament, Kuro began falling into a depression. His original mentor who he looked up to the most, Zan Jr, was gone, and he felt he had no one to turn to, and that he was all alone in his own mind. This was part of Kuro's personality. He, even though he devoted himself to fighting more, had started showing himself publicly even less than before.

Battle on Zacces (Herulean War) -- Death of a lifelong partner
February 24th 2015

Kuro thought little of the ongoing the Herulean War, thinking it to be ridiculous but there not being much he could or really wanted to do about it. But on the final day of 1100, Kuro decided to take part in the Battle on Zacces, a large UAGP assault on the FAUF, and their largest base. Kuro arrived on the planet by Earth ship, after the space battle, and on the planet, was fighting Xoclovians, while the soldiers were failing hard. Towards the end of the fight as King KJ called for an official withdraw of troops, and Kuro teleported to the ship where everyone was, after Hikari Minato's death. Kuro was alerted that he was needed on Earth for an emergency by KJ and communications. Kuro teleported back and bursted home, to discover medics at his house, and that his lifelong girlfriend Sari, had passed away of a heart attack at age 68. They left Kuro alone, who was going through intense mental lapses, having already been in a depression. Kuro then began going insane and destroying everything he saw, which soon included his house. KJ showed up sensing him, and tried to calm him, but Kuro wanted no part of him or anyone else, and flew off demanding alone time. KJ respected his decision, asking him not to destroy anything. This, was the just the beginning.

Insanity Unheard (1101)
Kuro suffered much depression later on. His master Zan Jr had been gone for so long, and he felt he had no purpose. He felt no one except Sari understood him. After her sudden death during the middle of the Herulean War, it struck him greatly. He snapped, and began losing all sense of good, releasing his evil violent Saiyan spirit and becoming dark. Little words, Kuro travelled around Earth for months alone, occasionally destroying anything in sight, and accepted no help from his own team mates, instead insulting them. Kuro did not truly do anything worth noting until his battle with Nikad on 8 May 1101.

Coming across Melody Shijima and Nikad, Kuro demanded them move from his way. This led to an assault and fight between them, transitioning from Melody to Nikad. Trias later arrived without his Sin Stones, to monitor the battle. Kuro and Nikad, in his First form, fought a rigorous battle, with Kuro getting progressively more impatient. Nikad summoned Gammahaki, a gigantic turtle known as the greatest defender in the universe, to fight for him while he gained energy. Nikad soon regained his power and they continued fighting for a short time, before Kuro finally got sick of fighting and ran off to another planet to meditate, but fell asleep hugging a rock.

Nomadic life (1101-16)
After coming to realize all the trouble and pain he was causing his friends, Kuro felt even worse. He contemplated suicide many times and attempted, but Kuzon Jr. stopped him. Kuro then said to KJ on Christmas night 1101 that he was 'taking a break'. He then disappeared from Earth and was never seen again for 15 years. KJ knew he was going off to become a nomad, travelling the universe as a rogue, doing who-knows-what, he no longer had a wife and his daughter was living her own life, so he felt no reason to stay on Earth.

During this long period of time away from Earth, Kuro pursued many interests. He worked on many planets and lived on many planets. He trained under several teachers and, for a short time, looked to religion as a path to enlightenment, becoming devoutly religious. He became a monk for several years, before he was exiled and named a traitor after revealing his true identity. Kuro became much more social and worked in charity foundations and on recreational work on many planets. He studied and returned to college on Planet Terva for 4 years, studying religion, energy, and international politics. He met King Weylas (an renowned powerful lizard King) and worked as an advsior for him.

Kuro names this period in his life his period of great enlightenment, and going 'outside the box'. He explains he learned many things and experienced many new different things. He gained an interest in anthropology. Shortly after the breakout of the Universal Revolution, on 23 March 1116, Kuro knew the Lookout Crew may need him once again. He attended the ExpoUniverse'16 where he met with the LCrew once again after 15 long years.

Great Universal Revolution (1116-25)
After returning, Kuro did not participate much in the war, though he sometimes accompanied everyone during battles. His role grew larger over time. He helped train soldiers.
