Faction: Lorelai (Rook)
Character Group: Lorelai Shugo Owner
Shugo Number: 1
Name(s): Jun (Character Transformation: Elite Hacker)
Abilities:Character Change:
When Kuroo Character changes he becomes a skilled hacker (more of one than he already is)

Firewall (Character Change and Character Transform): When Kuroo uses this ability a wall of green one's and zero's going up and down in a matrix-styled pattern get in the way of him and his opponent, along with any incoming attack. Kuroo can only maintain this for a max of 30 seconds while in character change and a max of 2 minutes when Character Transformed. Only used as a defensive ability.

Exploit (Character Transformation only): When Kuroo uses this he puts his hand out in front of him and a single line of one's and zero's shoots out of his hand. This can cause damage to his opponents but since it can only go in a straight line if he screws up and misses he will have to use it again and again. However the more he uses this, the more stamina he loses. Used as an offensive ability.

He normally wears the same shoes he wears when in his casual wear to school. He even has his computer at school as well (though he keeps it hidden in his bag).

When he Character Transforms he gets the glasses he had from his Character Change. He gets a white T-Shirt and Brown jacket, along with Blue Jeans. He gets white socks along with white sneakers with blue soles.

Personality:
Kuroo generally comes across as cold to most people. He generally doesn't show emotion unless he feels that certain emotion strongly. Some consider him introverted, however this is not the case and he just acts like one. Whenever he talks about something that has to do with computers he becomes very passionate about his work in programming.

Despite his reputation for being cold there was a time he was actually a rebellious, kind and sociable boy. However this all changed when his parents divorced and he and his brother were separated from each other (as his brother was his best friend). Though soon after he became this way he started to want to change his personality to a more sociable one.

In Kurusu high school he has a reputation for being a great computer programmer, just not the kind that you want to ask for help. When someone does ask for help in programming he often dismisses them with a cold and stoic "Why should I?" which makes most people frustrated and leaving in a much badder mood than they came up to him in.

He has been hacking using the alias "Black Jack" for years, and as a hacker he has a reputation for being a genius that made significant improvements to computer security. However he took major steps to keep his anonymity secure and because of this people think that the boy Shiratori Kuroo and the hacker Black Jack are two different people rather than the same person. He did this from the fear of being prosecuted as a criminal, and normally hacks when he has absolutely nothing else to do or on the rare occasion that he wants to sharpen or maintain his skill. He still clings to hacking as it is what he considers the last way to relate to his brother whom he hasn't seen since his parents divorced.

When Kuroo does hack for reasons other than the other two previously mentioned, he is hacking for the sole purpose of letting people know how they were hacked and how they can prevent future hacks using the same methods. However because he uses illegal means to do this he is considered a Grey-Hat hacker (a hacker that acts illegally but for good will).

He got his hacker alias from his first name Kuroo (黒男). This is because in English Kuro (黒) means black and Jack is a boy's name and the second kanji in his first name (男) is the Japanese kanji for boy, hence the name Black Jack.

He desires the embryo for one reason: he wants to get his parents back together. He thinks that by getting them back together he will be able to see his brother again, and everything would go back to the way things were before his parents divorced.

Jun:
Born of Kuroo's desire to change his personality into a more sociable one. He is calm and kind, but doesn't like taking orders from others. He can easily become irritated but can easily keep it from showing. Kuroo really enjoys Jun's presence, as Jun is essentially a manifestation of what Kuroo wants to become. Jun is great at computer programming and hacking.

History:
Kuroo was born on June 15 in Nagasaki, Japan to a rich (not to the point of a millionaire) family and he has one older brother one year older than him. He and his brother were taught to follow all the rules of society down to the letter. However both Kuroo and his brother had rebellious tendencies and when Kuroo was 6 they both picked up a common interest: computer hacking.

Both Kuroo and his brother began sharpening their skills in hacking by trying to hack into each others computers as a form of friendly competition. This in tern caused them to become the closest of friends. Their friendly competition caused their skills to soar rapidly as they made exploits to get into the others computer end eventually they stopped using firewalls that other companies made and began using firewall programs they made. Eventually they even used their own operating systems (though they were just custom built Linux distros on Persistent USB installations). This caused their friendly competition to jump to a whole new level: getting into the other persons computer and preventing the other from getting into their computer. This caused their skills to progress even more rapidly and by the time Kuroo was 10 they were both what could be considered Elite Hackers.

However it was at that time that their parents divorced. Kuroo began living with his mother who left the home and began living a new life in the unnamed town Shugo Chara is based in. Soon after this Kuroo went public in his hacking. After a few successful hacks his alias Black Jack became well known within the computer underground, though his actual identity remained (and still is) a mystery within the computer underground. This is thanks to the multiple anti-forensics software he uses and his 128 GB USB drive with the Linux Distro he created on it, allowing him to save all his data that have to do with him hacking on his jump drive rather than his computer HDD.

Jun was born when Kuroo was 11, when Kuroo's desire to change his personality was the strongest compared to his ability to actually work his way towards that change. When Kuroo was 13 Kuroo was attacked by a X-Egg, and it was during this battle that he was able to achieve his first Character Transformation. Though in the end the X-Egg was destroyed Kuroo didn't know the consequences of his actions until he got to school, and saw the classmate that was the owner of the X-Egg. He swore that he would never destroy a X-Egg again after that.

When he started attending Kurusu he hacked into the school website and let the principal know (by adding a note to the school's homepage) that it was hacked and how to prevent future hacks. This caused his alias to become well known within Kurusu as well and become a subject of some rumors, while no one knows that the hacker Black Jack is in fact Kuroo.

Roleplay Sample:
Kuroo sat on the bench in Kurusu, he was bored beyond belief. He thought about using the computer in his bag and hacking into someone's computer should it be vulnerable to his methods. His hand reached for his bag, but he pulled it back. He didn't want the teachers to take away his favorite computer, and besides he would have to hack into someones internet first. Though the brute-forcing software he made was quicker than most of those available to the public it still took some time to find one password out of a million possible ones. He let out a sigh and looked up at the sky. He noticed Jun floating beside him looking bored as well.

Out of the corner of his eye saw a boy in his tech-ed class start walking towards him. He changed his gaze towards the boy who was now in front of him. The boy asked for help with a simple programming code. Kuroo looked at the boy, his glare as cold as ice.

"Why should I help you?" he replied, his tone stoic. He saw Jun's facial expression shift for a moment, Kuroo knew Jun enough to know that Jun didn't approve of the way he responded. But Kuroo figured he couldn't do much about it, it was part his current persona. The one he wanted to change.

Kuroo noticed the boy was now walking off, mumbling to himself something. Kuroo didn't know what it was but didn't care. He got up off the bench and started towards the buildings, class was about to start. He saw Jun get up and float into a pocket in his bag. Just then the bell rang. Another boring day at school had begun.
