Age: About 25-26
Gender: Male
Canon: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle & Tsubasa World Chronicle
Canon Point: Tsubasa World Chronicle Chapter 3
History: Such a tragic childhood
Personality:
At first appearance the ninja usually looks frightening to most people and Kurogane doesn’t do much to change that. As the stoic fighter of the group, some would call Kurogane cold and distant unless you truly know where to look or have lived with him for a period of time. Often a man of few words, it’s not hard to get a one syllable response from the warrior, although there are times when he feels chatty and speaks in length. Some of the time he won’t even introduce himself and leaves it to the more people-friendly individuals of the group.
To anyone who does find themselves having a conversation with Kurogane they’ll learn that he’s actually pretty rude. Not to mention that he has a foul mouth and curses quite a bit. Kurogane is a man who’d rather be blunt about something than try to think of a kinder way of saying something; he doesn’t care who he might offend or how abrasive he is. Generally this is balanced by his companions that will either wave off his words or apologize on his behalf and he doesn’t always bother to stop them as if he realizes how he must sound to someone.
From the very beginning Kurogane began to notice things about his new traveling companions. This is thanks to how perceptive he is. He knew that both Fai and Syaoran had some fighting abilities and eventually realized that Syaoran was blind in one eye. His perception has helped in battle as he uses it to sense what’s around him and predict moves before they even happen. Kurogane could fight or even just move around completely blinded and he’s taught this to Syaoran. Outside of battling this perception allows him to see through people’s masks or notice when something is off about someone. Most of the time this is focused on Fai as the magician has the most to hide from them. In Infinity he knew that the princess was hiding things and that Fai was helping her to do it and he didn’t seem all too surprised when Fai told them about all the things he was lying about from the start.
Ever since the death of his parents Kurogane has been very goal-oriented and allows nothing to stand in his way. He had several to start with and gained more along the way. To help him with achieving his goals is his strong will. Until he finds his mother’s killer and returns to his home, Kurogane won’t allow himself to die. And he hates people who don’t seem to give a damn about throwing their own life away, though Kurogane seems to believe that sacrificing a life for another’s who they truly care about would be a good death. Though while he wouldn’t necessarily lay down his own life down (since he’s so damn sure of his fighting abilities) there are other things Kurogane would give up in order to obtain his goals.
When Fai tried to convince Kurogane to let him die just so clone!Syaoran wouldn’t be able to use his stolen magic the ninja took matters into his own hands and forced the magician to live. It didn’t matter what the price would be, or that it was against Fai’s wishes, or even that Kurogane would now be responsible for another’s life – he still did it. While in Infinity he forced Fai to drink his blood even though it was against the other’s wishes which says that Kurogane takes responsibility for his own actions, no matter what the cost.
This man is easily riled, especially when subjugated to the childish acts of his companions. It’s not strange to hear him raise his voice, insult people or even see him try to make his “bite” as bad as his “bark” is. Not that his short-temper helps in any of these situations. All it stems from low-tolerance to shenanigans and underlying anger depending on the situation. Most of the time it’s harmless and can even be ignored but the situation gets serious then so does Kurogane.
Ever since he witnessed his mother’s death and realized his father’s Kurogane has been battle-hungry. It was actually the reason he got sent away in the first place as he would seek out the supposedly strongest fighters in order to defeat them. He enjoys it so much that most of the time it’s not unusual to see him fighting with a bit of a smirk on his face. This hasn’t changed all that much as he still enjoys a good fight although he has stopped killing people unless he feels they deserve to die for what they’ve done.
Going hand-in-hand with his desire to be the strongest Kurogane is also very protective of those he cares about. He would fight to defend them and sacrifice, without hesitation, what he can in order to stay with them. There are few people he would lay down his life for but Kurogane doesn’t want to lose anyone who’s important to him and he would cross thousands of worlds just to find them. He can also be very loyal to those he cares about or has sworn to protect. Absolutely nothing can shake that loyalty, not even if they did something to have wronged him.
Underneath all of the layers that Kurogane readily shows is a compassion that would surprise anyone who doesn’t look closely enough at him. While he may not be the type to sit and hold someone while saying something sappy, he does care for people in his own way. It’s generally gruff and even sometimes comes out abrasive but he does want what’s best for the ones he cares about. In Acid Tokyo, he confronts Fai about living in the present with the rest of them rather than looking back and while in Infinity he looked after real!Syaoran, not to mention all he does for the other two. Also, it must be noted that Kurogane isn’t exactly going out of his way to touch people but he’s gotten very used to people being inside of his personal bubble. Any affectionate touches from him are brief and may not seem all that affectionate at all.
Ever since Fei Wong Reed's death and the reveal of Syaoran and Sakura's truths he's calmed down a little. He doesn't go off every time a new nickname emerges from Fai's mouth because honestly, it means that Fai isn't mad or upset with him. Kurogane went through that once after saving the mage's life and even though it annoys him to hear those ridiculous nicknames, it's also a kind of comfort. Not to mention that Fai isn't hiding behind a fake cheerful personality all of the time. Even Mokona's very annoying antics don't get to him quite as much before. Sure he doesn't like having the thing wiggle around in his clothes or when Mokona calls him 'daddy' but he's even come to care for the little creature as more than just their way to new worlds. His goal has also changed with the death of the man responsible for his parents' deaths and the clones disappearance and rebirth. Kurogane no longer cares about getting home and it makes his urgency to hurry up and move on non-existent. Though he does still try to get this manga he's been reading ever since that first world in everyone one he goes to, no matter if he can read the language or not. Crystallis better have his manga. :| Also, alcohol has become his friend. He drank it before on occasion but lately he's been doing it quite a lot. Luckily he isn't undergo a personality change while drinking.

Third-Person Sample:
"All right, manjuu, where have you landed us now?" If the whole 'dream' was supposed to throw him off, then this world would have to try harder because Kurogane's been there - done that. Though it was a little unusual for the damn creature to pull them from the middle of something when Syaoran had clearly had his mind set on investigating before leaving. "I thought we weren't leaving until that damn man showed up."
He stuck a finger in his ear casually and if he didn't know better, he'd be fooled by the voice that spoke up. "Mokun didn't bring you here! Mokun just greeted you, kupo!"
A frown marred his face as he looked over at the creature that was definitely not Mokona. There was no wiggling in his clothes or weight on his shoulder or head to signify that the magical creature was not anywhere on him as Mokona liked to be. That look only deepened when he couldn't sense the presence of his companions. Eyes narrows at the moogle but it wasn't afraid of him, in fact, it seemed to smile. Mokun knew that the ninja was a grumpy one when it accepted the job but he was also kind.
"What world is this?" Kurogane asked. "And what have you done to my companions?"
"This is Crystallis, kupo! And we haven't done anything to your companions. They just didn't arrive with you."
"Tch, figures." He turned away from his moogle, leaving the Crystal of Fire behind though the little creature followed after him. This ninja does nothing to seem friendly towards other people, a scowl marred his face while his hulking figure moved through the crowd while towering over most of the others. So it was strange that his moogle was a cute little thing who darted forward to sit on the man's head like he was a perch.
