Personality
Kurai is many things, and it takes a lot of time to figure out what those things are, but here are a few traits to get you started.

Sophisticated: No matter what anyone say about Kurai, one thing always holds true. He is undoubtedly a gentlemen of high class society. He was brought up in a well mannered home and taught the arts of gentiles. Now just because he holds fast to his social elite attitude, does not mean he demeans or looks down upon others. He simply thinks all men should act with class. Skill is valued over power in the social elite.

Bloody lust: Being from a family with strong Chigokai blood, his family tended to be a bit more Gothic in style. So while the nakamura's of the Mist were classy well socialized people, they were also revered amongst the high class. One would even go as far as to say they were feared. For pissing off a Nakamura certainly meant retribution sooner or later. The Nakamura family: in which case Kurai is no exception, does not tolerate being double crossed, insulted, or in any shape done wrong. The general unspoken consensus was that they had a lust for revenge. And for the most part this could hold true. For Kurai, he exercises a healthy does of revenge into his life. But unlike his family has vowed to not let it ruin him.

Simple joys: Kurai enjoys the simpler things in life. Playing his Cello, drinking fine tea, holding balls in his luxurious manner.....These are the kind of activities he visits in his personal leisure time.

Shinobi life: Now of all you have heard about Kurai, you would least expect him to join the shinobi world. But because of his position in high class society, chigokai blood, and genius in several fields of study, Kurai is a very talented shinobi. He has money to throw at his shinobi training, he has a well built in knack for skill over power that was taught by his various gentile studies, and a high social standing within the mist.

The very last and unexpected part of Kurai is his humor. He can be quite funny, but you rarely catch him laughing out loud. Even when his own mischief proves incorrigibly hilarious.

Appearance
Kurai is built lean with defined muscles. He has black wavy medium in length hair, and reddish-violet eyes. Clothing is always in an elegant fashion, even on the battle field he wears no less than clothes one may call semi formal/casual. While not in or expecting battle he will wear a form fitting suit. On the battle field however he will wear a thin form fitting black long sleeved shirt with neatly wrapped summer scarf around the neck, a pair of black pants, nice black shoes, and of course ninja accessories.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

History
As mentioned, Kurai grew up in a very formal household of a Gothic style. High end social skills were a must and constituted the majority of his childhood. Arts such as the Cello, Skill with a blade ( a must with all gentiles of any culture ), mannerisms, and other such things were instilled into him.

However there was a dark side to his family that more than likely was result of their blood heritage. Revenge seemed to possess his parents. Always they sought to get even with their social enemies. Sometimes it went beyond what was called for. His parents took action to use their chogokai skills against their social pariahs. For years they played at small games with other families. It became a hunger for them. Enemies of the Nakamura were plagued with cuts: almost as if done by a phantom, blood illness, inability to move sometimes, and small cuts would bleed out way too long.

It wasn't too long before his parents went too far with their revenge and were sentenced to execution for massacring a smaller prestigious family. It was covered up however. The parents pleaded to go quietly if they would preserve the honor of the family for Kurai's sake. Kurai himself learned the truth quite quickly and vowed to never fall to the lust like his family. For its not revenge that they really lust, but the blood of their enemies. They can hear it in the veins and hearts of others. It speaks to them.

To satisfy his lust, Kurai became a shinobi. Though he did not relish hurting others, it was in his nature to do so. He yearned for blood, and the enemies of his village would provide such.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Items:
Cello and Case ( RP flavor of a giant blade, and RPly how he casts sound jutsu and genjutsu. No actual custom item here )

Kurai always carries his Cello and case with him. The case serves as giant blade. Its built in a way to not disturb the Cello inside and reinforced with steel. The bottom of the blade: also where the neck of the Cello would be, has a hole in it where a handle shoots out mechanically. The sides are blunt until with the same push of a button that snaps out the handle, blades pop out on the side from little rivets in the metal. Suddenly you have a handle, and about five mini razors along the side of the coffin shaped case that create an edge. The tip of the blade functions on the same mechanism and pops out the top ( or the bottom depending on perspective. Blade wise its a top, but instrument wise its the bottom. confusing hehehe )

The Cello is his tool in battle to launch his sound jutsu as well as certain genjutsu. The theory behind that being that music controls various responses in your body. Increasing or slowing heart rate is a common example of such things that music can effect on the body. Chakra as well is effected. And just like using your own chakra to cause a change in someone else's chakra to produce genjutsu, music is a useful tool in doing so. When hes not attacking, his Cello is his favored hobby.
