- Kokuto's words before a match

Appearance
Kokuto is described as a fairly-handsome, skinny, feminine looking young man of black hair inherited from his father, which his girlfriend claims is silky and nice on touch, fair skin, dark eyes and a slouch nobody around his age should have. Because of his moody personality and habit of sleeping during classes, Kokuto has circles around his eyes and an aura that makes him a bit unapproachable despite some of his classmates claiming that those traits also make him somewhat cute.

Being a student of Kuoh, he always wears the lined white shirt white dark pants and matching blazer and black tie and brown shoes, while in days of leizure he likes to wear trendy clothes such as Gianfranco Ferré, Polo Shirts and white diamond herrings and Santoni Shoes.

Personality
Being the son of a fallen angel, Kokuto is vain, materialistic, a bit hedonistic and easy-going. Much more like Azazel, Kokuto likes to live his life at his own pace, and not unlike the Governor General, has a few quirks that others might consider him excentric at best and insane at worst: At random times he'll laugh at himself for succeeding in licking his own elbow and in another second wonder what was that all about. From his mother's side, Kokuto also inherited from Yozora a deep curiosity in trying new things as long as they don't permanently tint his normal lifestyle and has a certain attraction towards the opposite sex despite having already stabilished relationships. He also inherited from Yozora a deep connection and attachment to family members and those who catches his interest or are in some need, as he called for Shirayuki once Kuoh has been attacked by a terrorist. Yozora claims that, deep down, Kokuto does care for people, as shown when he gave flowers to the perverted trio at the medical bay after they've been beating to a pulp by Shirayuki and tried his best to save Vice-president Tsubaki from Tyrion's Sacred Gear effects.

Strangely enough, Kokuto seems to all the good traits of his father but twisted in his own way: He longs for peace and understandment between others, but only so he could selfishly live his own life in peace; he also avoids unnecessary conflicts and battles, but because he doesn't want to get hurt himself or ruin his clothes, hinting of a more coward and sly side. He's also sharp with his wits and has a way with words in order to get himself out of dangerous situations while also maintaining a calm and polite side, which are said to be genuine to some extend despite also hiding a sardonic and offensive layer. Kokuto seens also to have some kind of gambling addiction, as some of his lines always wave a gambling undertone into them, he more then once he was expelled by the Pachinko parlor due to his age and treats every situation as a game of luck and wits, taking 'spoils of war' or himself once his enemies are defeated and becoming even more hotblooded as a result of a match. Exemplifying, his catchphrase is "Lucky~".

However, despite his mellow personality, Kokuto will instantly react to people or occassions in which is lifestyle is threatened in any shape of form, always in the form of a game of wits using his Sacred Gear but rarely relying on full violence. He downright blackmailed Genshirou in order to maintain his position as a hybrid away from the student council with claims that he takes nude photos of Sona and didn't hesitate to threatened Koneko's lifestyle in order to escape Kuroka's grasps, also playing mind-games with Tobio Ikuse in order to escape being dragged into the Grigori. For having so much faith in his own luck, however, Kokuto rarely lies during those games, and maintains a honest, friendly and cool façade during the whole ordeal, which ironically makes him just as sinister as his father.

According to himself, his favorite movie is Rashomon, but his favorite actor is Clint Eastwood and his favorite musician is Toshinobu Kubota. His favorite food also is strawberry shortcakes from a bakery next to his house but he ever so come there because of the busty and cute cashier who's the baker's daughter.

History
Kokuto is the son of Azazel, the Governor General of the Fallen angels and the Leader of the Grigori, and Yozora Kurokami, a japanese businesswoman recently out of college. The duo would meet and fall in love somwhere in Vatican during one of her business trips, in which they would entangled themselves in drinks and delight. However, one day, Yozora was alerted that her father was dying and wanted to see her during his last moments and, without knowing she was pregnant with Azazel's son, bid her goodbye and flew back to Japan, where she gave birth to Kokuto.

For being a busy businesswoman, Kokuto grew up surrounding instead by maids, television and some neighborhood friends which, despite the lack of familiar bonds, make the body grow happy and self-sufficient, also developing his gambling addicts thanks to one of his maids who would always play poker with him and a certain empathy for others thanks to his mother, who he saw as a complete stranger due to her extended absence. It was during that same time that he developed his Sacred Gear Fortuna Ataraxia and named it Tama. After enrolling in Kuoh academy, Kokuto developed a false relationship with the 9th prettiest girl in Kuoh Academy, Shirayuki Shirogane, in order to help her escape her stalkers, and becoming the main target for bullying and abuse.

His story begins when he finds a certain someone pursuing him on his way home....

Powers & Abilities
High Intellect - For being Azazel's son and possession an enormous amount og education and information due to his mother's wealth plus her natural intelligence, Kokuto possesses a level of intelligence and wit beyond considered normal for a high schooler, considering that he know exactly which chemicals react in order to produce Chroramine gas and how they react on air, the different types of dwarfism and some trivial matters such as League A champions and Agatha Christie books.

Immense Endurance - Kokuto has shown to be extremely endurant to pain and suffering, shown that he was able to stay councious for more than 10 minutes breathing nothing but chlroramine gas and still have strength to smash against a window, step and support himself on a glassy surface with nails and sharp ends and support his own body weight with his own fingers.

Sixth Sense - Due to his Fallen Angel Blood, Kokuto can faintly detect the presence of other supernatural beings in the form of a chill running down his spine. While he does not know yet how to distinguish one supernatural creature from another, he can distinguish what is human and what is not.

Good Luck- It is extremely ambiguous, but it is believed that Kokuto has either extreme shots of luck in order to survive really low chances and target extremely situational aims which requires extremely trajectory knowledge or an extremely high luck. Nothing concrete has been said until now.

Fortuna Ataraxia
Fortuna Ataraxia, also known as The Black Threat Of Unwavering Luck, is the Sacred Gear of the protagonist Kokuto Kurokami from the story Black Blade, Black God of Misfortune. Fortuna Ataraxia originally took the form of a single black string coming from Kokuto's little finger. As he grew and the Sacred Gear developed, it eventually had enough power to wrap the string around itself and take the shape of a small, cute black cat of black fur, red eyes and a single numeral which changes according to Kokuto's 'luck meter'.

An autonomous, situational low-tier Sacred Gear, Fortuna Ataraxia is a Sacred Gear that allows Kokuto to manipulate and even control, to some extend, his own luck, and balance the ratio between luck and misfortune in his life at will. Every time Kokuto desires, Fortuna Ataraxia can grant him a certain amount of luck which extend will shown on the cat's forehead by a certain number. The less the chances of something happening, the bigger the number will be, and vice-versa. This allows Kokuto to manipulate reality to some extend, as shown when he made a flipped coin fall on it's side and struck hit a jackpot on a random slot machine. The contrary can also happen: When something unfortunate happens to Kokuto by chance, Fortuna Ataraxia can 'save' that amount of bad luck and turn it to Good luck on Kokuto's command, as shown when Kokuto's was assaulted by a serial killer and, in turn, had enough 'luck points' to struck Saji with lightning on a clear sky. By being able to manipulate something as metaphysical as luck, this Sacred Gear is also difficult to detect and tell apart from use, making it easier for the user to utilize it's abilities without being caught.

 * I thought of Kokuto to lack any form of direct offensive technique such as light weapons or a weapon Sacred Gear in order to make him stand out from the other, more offensive OC's. Don't expect him to learn dark light porjection.
 * As expected, Kokuto does no possesses wings, and therefore cannot fly.
