Name: Kurome Strass
Epithet: The Noble Silver Lion
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Sexuality: HeteroSexual
Affiliation: Marine
Occupation: Monk // Paladin
Appearance: Kurome is an elegant man with elegant tastes. He can almost always be seen in some sort of formal attire covering his relatively average frame. He stands at 5'10 and weighs around 156lbs. He tends to wear a pair of gloves each one with the marine emblem.
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Grey
Skin Tone: Pale White
Height: 5'10
Weight: 156lbs
Tattoo: On Kurome's back he has a tattoo of a greyhound.
Personality: If Kurome could describe himself in one word, it would be elegant or maybe sophisticated. He is a pretty uptight person when he speaks and he is a bit OCD when it comes to the appearance things around him. He is very perceptive when it comes to things being out of place. He hates dirty and unkempt things which makes it hard for him to get along with others especially if they have a naturally unappealing appearance. He has habit of pointing out even the smallest flaw in one's appearance.
Though once you get past that, he is kind and considerate person who is always willing to give his opinion on a subject. No matter how blunt and crass he maybe he's actually a kind hearted boy who deeply cares for his family and friends and was willing to dub himself as a traitor to protect them. Kurome is a believer in what he dubs as "Equal Justice." This style of justice could be less severe version of Absolute justice. Those who believe in Equal Justice will put forth the same effort in the capture of high profile pirates that they will for lower class criminals. One can consider it on par with Dark Justice in its application but more lax in execution.
On that note Kurome unlike his father, he doesn't understand women or how exactly to speak or act around him. The only advice he ever received about them came from his father, he is meant to have a double standard when it comes to women. Rather then pointing at every little flaw as obviously and harshly as possible, he attempts to be subtle with it but he will fix something if it bothers him enough. Which usually either comes off as him being a pervert, no matter how pure his intention originally was. Sadly he is also horribly dense when it comes to women and their own feelings, causing him to do whatever he pleases; With whomever he pleases.
Kurome has quite a few hobbies, he likes to play the violin, read novels, and drink wine/coffee/tea in the dawn or dusk. He also has quite a few unexpected and could be considered womanly hobbies such as cooking, housekeeping, sewing, knitting.

Inner Lineage:
Name:Ancestral Force
Description: This comes from the lineage of a true nobleman of the Strass family. Within a lineage lacking physical strength, the family survived with their strong will. Those with the Ancestral Force lineage are literally haunted by the spirits of their ancestors. These astral beings follow the holder and provide insight on life and will help them whenever they can.
Effect: Similar to Might of the Wraith, the user can summon two non-physical ancestral spirits to watch around the user (around 30 meters at most) Twice per thread (5 post cooldown). These spirits can move through walls in order to perform recon and report back to the user. (This cannot be used for meta gaming). The downside behind the ability is that while it is an easy way to preform recon, the spirits are incapable to influence the world without the user's consent. Not only that the user can in the most literal sense never be alone. These spirits are bound the user and will never leave him/her alone
Outer Lineage:
Name: Heart of Affliction
Description: Emotions fuel you, emotions are what make you powerful and yet, you become just as dangerous as your empowerment. You may be more unstable, you may experience anger and sadness and all that jazz, but you can truly be a weapon of passion. You care for others normally, or you hate others just as equally. You have the heart of afflictions, for your emotions have turned the tides of your fate and the fate of other's. This gives you the power to bring out the emotions of others, to allow them to express themselves more easily. You influence others to care or hate, it all depends on what you feel on the inside. At the same time, of those too heavily afflicted by emotion, you may drain their emotion into your own mind...at a risk of sanity.
Ability: Twice per topic with a 5-post cooldown, you may resist attacks lower than your own power, but only one attack of equal power. This sends you into a blind fit of emotion for the next two posts, calming down afterwards. You may as well, once per topic, bring out the emotional side in all NPC's of equal tier or lower. Higher-tier NPC's may be affected up to one tier higher if used with Haoshoku (not knocking them out). PC's may feel this effect if they wish, for they can be strong-willed at times. The NPC's and PC's affected may possibly side with the user in understanding, entering an emotional fit for one post before all calming down, which could result in betrayal, for the emotion is expressed in truth not lie. The emotions felt are up to the affected, but they may just as well express violence upon the user. For those with this lineage, if they use the effect twice for themselves, their fit will extend to 10 posts where they are just completely irrational. While completely irrational, it may be ended prematurely by someone with this lineage, nulling the emotion, but it tears away the power of the person once had in their emotions for the rest of the topic.
Writing Sample
Goat Island, a island best known... for its.... something. Kurome didn't know nor did he care. He was only here for one thing, and that was information. Taking a long drag of his cigarette, his eyes peered around the bar. It was the standard hang out for the rough types, both pirate and marine. Though Kurome had very little interest in either, the one he was looking for was neither.
Removing the tobacco stick from his mouth and a puff of smoke left his mouth and rose high into the air. Not long after the smoke left his mouth did he hear the clicking sound come from behind him. Kurome's eyes were drawn behind him where a large man stood. Kurome couldn't make heads or tails of the man, whether he was pirate or marine. In fact he couldn't even discern the man's face, all he knew was that there was a gun up to his head.
"Don't you know its not polite to smoke in a no smoking zone?"
Kurome didn't move, he didn't need to he didn't have time to play with the man. He took another drag of his cigarette and sighed. Man, what he would do for some tea; He could kill for some.
"Don't you know its impolite to pull a gun out on a man without introducing yourself?"
The man clenched his teeth. His finger massaged the trigger and the man's eyes narrowed as he began to contemplate attacking Kurome. Kurome's eye began to float back toward the male standing behind him. His mind raced trying to figure out who was behind him, and how he was going to deal with him.
