Kuramaru

An outcast of society, Kuramaru (Kura for short) wanders the lands in search of a purpose. He makes coin as a sword for hire, carrying the choking aura of death and misery with him wherever he goes. This usually drives people away from him. He carries with him a cursed ninja sword, a remnant of his rigorous training and upbringing. He is unusually skilled in the sacred arts of ninjutsu, but he hates fighting for no reason and only withdraws his blade when he intends to kill. (He prefers hand-to-hand combat.) Personality-wise, he is calm and curious, often lost deep in thought. He only speaks when spoken to, though his responses are usually terse. Will he prove to be an invaluable companion and partner and/or a thorough mercenary should you hire him, or will you cross swords and let fate decide who walks away alive? The choice is yours.
