Name: Colgen Kurou (main protagonist), age 25, 5'11, 200lbs (in average shape), dirty blonde hair, grey eyes. No major physical distinguishing features. What does make him standout from other characters is his will, even though it is not a physical feature people know this is what drives him and makes him different.
Education: College drop out, very intelligent - genius level but lacks focus. Since he dropped out all is knowledge is self taught though he easily picks up what he applies himself to.
Family Background: Wife – Hannah his soulmate. The best thing ever to happen to him, his chuushin. Without her he probably would be still wasting his life doing nothing. He always felt so lucky to have met her and could not come up with words meaningful enough to describe his love.
Colgen had a brother Renji and sister Senmei. They were twins, 10 years younger, always looked up to their big brother. . Colgen always pretended on the outside to be annoyed by the twins but in reality he loved them very much. Renji was a bright kid, who was determined to go into the family business with his uncle. Senmei was the book worm type and wanted to become a teacher.
Colgen's father Joubu died when he was 10 (just after the twins were born). His father was a military man that died helping quell a rebellion in a foreign country (special forces could not know all details...) Colgen always remembers his dad as a great man and wanted to be like him – fair, just and yet tough. His mother Engelhaft (whom is an orphan) raised her children as best she could after Joubu passed away. She was a wonderful care giver, with a great sense of humor yet stern to make sure her children have a proper sense of responsibility and morals.
Colgen's main father figure was his uncle Genkaku a stern but not cruel or mean man. Uncle always felt sad/slightly bitter for his brother Joubu not seeing the kids grow up. A good business man that runs the family business (chain of food markets). He always pushed Colgen and Hutago to become great. Genkaku had two children Hutago and Kouhuku (Colgen's cousins). Hutago is basically a year younger version of Colgen. They were best friends and always getting into trouble together growing up. Not major trouble but typical kid/teenager trouble. Kouhuku (5 years younger than Colgen) was always happy no matter what was going on. She was also the family comedian and liked everyone to have a good time.
Colgen's Grandparents were long since retired shop owners. Uncle Genkaku took over after retirement and built up the family business. Grandfather Witzig – was a funny guy (comedic but not dumb) that could not figure out how his kids could be so serious. Grandma - Eigentlich was raised a classic "society lady". She came from a upper class family but did not want to have that pompus life and wanted a good warm family. Eigentlich was shunned by her own family for marrying down but did not matter to her as she was proud of everyone.
Overall Description: Driven by the loss of his family and wife he burns with the need to find out what happened and avenge those fallen. The incident in which everyone was lost happened at the local theme park. It was rented out for the day by his grandparents. It was his younger brother and sisters (twins) birthday. A people were there as well, as these were the twins friends. He was supposed to be there but since he did not have a birthday gift was running around at the last minute. The incident was a "accidental" release of a bio agent from a boat crossing the river by the park. His wife, Hannah, was calling at the time to find out where he was and to tell on him to get there asap. She briefly describes the boat at the end of the message as it seemed odd.... the rest of the message he does not want to think about, it is too painful. He has become a loner and now has few friends. The friends Colgen does have are kept at arms length, with his main friend being Sonnet. Sonnet tries to help out and keep Colgen from going over the edge. This task is not easy for her. Both of them are determined to find out what really happened. Colgen sets off on his own. Even though he is deeply conflicted, he sticks or his morals (similar to The Bushido Code). Sonnet won't let him go it alone and forcefully accompanies him.
Character Traits: He never yields, will to keep pushing forward in anything that he is doing. This will drive him even to self destruction if he feels it is what is right and good. Feels the need for revenge, vindication and absolution.
Motivation: What is his goal? To ultimately avenge the loss of his entire family and wife. What is his plan? Wade through the red tape B.S. and find out why/what happened to them, and by whom. All he has to go by is a voicemail message from his wife at the time of the incident. The reference to the boat. Use any resources to track it down.
Personality: Colgen is a bit of a loaner type, calculating, fearless, driven, obsessive, guilty, burdenend, enraged, remorse. Tries to live by the Bushido code the best he can manage. Yes lots of internal conflict and this tears at him. Blunt and to the point and this can cause others to feel him as calluous or cold - in reality his few friends are all he has left and will defend them to the end.
Likes: To have solitude but yet to have friends around, justice, to have a good laugh - although he feels guilty now when he does. Knowing he has helped someone. Looking out for friends and those who need help and can't take care of themselves. His likes play off of his internal conflicts.
Dislikes: authority -especially power hungry or corporate types. criminals - especially violent criminals, thieves, white collar type power hungry or greedy. Liars, pretty much any shady characters.
Habits/Vices: Habits include near blinding obsession to find out what happened, and coffee. Only vice is anger that can take over and cause him to become blind to those around him.
