![[Pasted image 20240519162530.png]] **Name** Kuromi Sapphire **Age:** 20s. If he is in his 30s, he’s naïve for his age. **Race:** Human **Class:** Monk **Preferred Arm:** Prefers to use his hands, he is a deadly weapon himself. **Family:** The monastery is his family. **About Kuromi** A monk with little to no knowledge of the world outside of monastery life. This human does not bring dark vision to the table leaving him at a disadvantage with the rest of his group. His strong muscles and naive self, led to him flirting with a beautiful young tavern girl who he finds himself falling in love with. [[Harwen Alisceon|Harwen]] thought him handsome the moment she saw him, though the actual union has yet to happen despite encouragement from the others. Kuromi finds the group he travels with to be strange but is learning to work his way around the world through them. His years of training have already proven a boon to the group when they find themselves forced to fight as he can hit a troublemaker as hard as he hits any sandwiches. **Relationship Status:** Attracted to a certain young bar maiden who recently got stabbed. Last he saw Harwen, she was being led to safety by Sigrun. **Reason for Being here:** His master chose him for the job. Kuromi is a man of contrasts, blending monkish discipline with chaotic impulsiveness. A master of martial arts, he moves with fluid grace, the result of years of training and deep attunement to his body. Yet, beneath his measured exterior lies a boundless curiosity and a mischievous streak that often leads him astray. He balances the heart of a philosopher with the stomach of a gourmand, a mix of wisdom and indulgence that makes him both endearing and exasperating. At his core, Kuromi seeks harmony in all things, from the precision of his strikes in combat to the perfect ratio of bread to filling in a sandwich. His passion for food is legendary, with sandwiches holding a special place in his heart—a simple yet complex metaphor for his approach to life. Every meal is an art form, a source of joy and comfort that reflects his appreciation for the small pleasures in life. Despite his easygoing nature, Kuromi is fiercely protective of those he cares about. When his friends are threatened, his fiery loyalty emerges, and he stands as a calm but unyielding force against danger. His quips and light-hearted teasing often mask a deeper side—he carries his burdens quietly, channelling his struggles into his craft and finding solace in reflection. Kuromi is a paradox: disciplined yet unpredictable, independent yet deeply loyal. To those who know him, he is more than a monk; he is a steadfast friend, a culinary artist, and a source of both wisdom and laughter.
