Character Name: Tetsuya Kuroko
Canon/Canon Point: Kuroko's Basketball, Episode 75.5 (his birthday episode!)
Character Appearance: Kuroko is 5'6", appears weak and unassuming, and due to his incredible lack of presence is pretty hard to see! He'll easily sneak up on you if you're not very aware of your surroundings. Here's five and a half minutes of this happening. His hair is always a mess and he has a deadpan expression most of the time.
Normal uniform Kuroko:
Clothes he's coming in with:
General Personality: Kuroko's a good and generally polite guy, he's supportive and wants to help out his friends, both on and off the court. He'll rush into dangerous situations if it means standing up for others. He loves basketball more than anything, it's seriously his favorite thing in the world. He's pretty blunt and might come off as serious, but he's just very neutral sounding/looking. He's ambitious, clever, loves to win, and believes strongly in the power of team play/teams in general. I picked his username based on a joke I like to make that he's a "I can fix him"-type since he goes through his five evil exes with intent to show them his way of basketball is superior. Kuroko's also got a sense of humor and can be a menace ("Kuroko Tetsuya is a Little Shit" has 100 works on AO3 for a reason). He describes himself as a "shadow" that will bring out the "light" in other players to make them shine and stand out, but specifically one player will be his designated "light" to partner with him. His previous and current "light"s both have an undying passion for basketball, so this is what Kuroko looks for in a man.
Character Powers: Oh boy. KNB is ridiculous. Kuroko's skills in basketball include passing and misdirection, but since this is anime these skills get blown to extra flashy. He can palm-punch a basketball across the court with total accuracy, misdirect players' attention so much that he appears totally invisible/able to vanish and suddenly reappear, and in rare cases direct all the attention to himself to take attention off others. He can also do some simple magic tricks and make a mean boiled egg.
Please observe his Ignite Pass Kai. This is basketball.
Character Role: Familiar! He has the same ears/tail as Tetsuya #2 and sharper canine teeth for little fang action
Living Area: I thiiink I'm putting him in the Burrows/Lapine or Satori Hills
Character's Potential: Kuroko has the potential to be a hero-type, but I'm throwing him in neutral since that's how he is in new situations with new people. At the point he's from, he's done a lot of growing and strengthening, so I think he'll have a fairly chill time just existing and going about a day-to-day. For example, he's not going to be searching for a "light" to his "shadow" since he has that securely in someone already.
Initial Plans: No idea, honestly! I wanna go with the flow and have fun with this little phantom who will seek out a way to play basketball immediately.
