CHARACTER INTERVIEW

BASICS  !

NAME . Tetsurô Kuroo. NICKNAME . Some childhood friends he has fallen out of touch with and Kenma’s parents used to call him Tetsu-kun (Kenma’s parents still do). Kenma has always called him “Kuro”, and Bokuto (affectionately) sometimes calls him “stupid cat” - a favour Kuroo gladly repays, with the owl edition of the name. Some mean-spirited tongues sometimes venture to calling him “rooster head”, and generally live to regret it. AGE .  18 (in 2012) / 28 (in 2022). PROFESSION . 3rd year highschool student at Nekoma High (2012) / Sports Promoter at the Japanese Volleyball Association (2022).

PERSONAL  !

MORALITY .  lawful / CHAOTIC / GOOD / neutral / evil / true . RELIGION .  Atheist. SINS .  GREED / GLUTTONY / sloth / lust / pride / envy / wrath . VIRTUES .  chastity / charity / DILIGENCE / humility / kindness / PATIENCE / justice . KNOWN LANGUAGES . Japanese, pretty fluent in English. SECRETS . Tetsurô used to suffer from pretty severe social anxiety as a child - going as far as exhibiting selective mutism. Kenma may think he has forgotten (and perhaps a part of him prefers that Kenma thinks that), but he hasn’t - not really. He has largely addressed and resolved his issues today, but unfamiliar crowds and groups still make him nervous. He has just become very, very good at hiding it. // Tetsurô’s mother walked out on the family when he was eight, and his father gave up on looking for her after week, even months of frantic search. For a long time, Tetsurô didn’t ask questions out loud... but shortly before graduating from college, he did some digging around. As of 2022, both he and his sister (who joined in his efforts) know where Nami lives, and have a rough idea of what she does, but have never made contact with her. 

PHYSICAL  !

BUILD .  scrawny / bony / SLENDER / FIT / athletic / curvy / herculean / pudgy / average . HEIGHT . 188cm / 189.5cm.

SCARS  /  BIRTHMARKS . No notable scars - all the ones he gathered from volleyball have long healed and faded. Sports a few moles on his back that he monitors because you can never be too careful, but he doesn’t think about them that much.

ABILITIES  /  POWERS . Wasn’t nicknamed “the scheming captain” for nothing. Master manipulator with a knack for provocation and moving people into action by taunting them. Strategist to his core. A great communicator, silver-tongued and charismatic who can convince pretty much anyone to do anything for him before they even realise they have been roped into his antics. Also a great teacher who easily identifies what motivates and interests people, and a good leader. Fairly decent bass player. Definitely a member of the super volleyball idiots club. RESTRICTIONS . Can overstep boundaries when thinking he’s only playfully taunting others. Easily comes across as a bit of a bastard who does nothing without an ulterior motive or agenda. Very good at making enemies.

FAVORITES !

FOOD . Grilled salted mackerel. DRINK .  Fresh lemonade. PIZZA TOPPING . Anchovies. COLOR . Reds, blacks and greys. MUSIC GENRE . All of them. Kind of. He has very eclectic tastes in music, and likes to be introduced to various bands and artists, rather than attaching himself to a single or a couple of genres. He does have a bit of a soft spot for blues and jazz, but he’ll listen to almost anything.  BOOK GENRE . Biographies and popular science books. He doesn’t read much fiction - he doesn’t have much time to read, so when he does, he likes to learn something as he does. He goes through little periods of interest in a specific subjects, and will only read about that one thing for three months, before deciding he knows enough and finding a new topic to explore. MOVIE GENRE . A big fan of documentaries for the same reason, but will watch almost anything as long as it’s good. CURSE WORD .  “Dammit”. SCENTS . Plants, coffee, fresh laundry.

FUN STUFF  !

BOTTOM OR TOP . Why not both. SINGS IN THE SHOWER . When he’s in a particularly good mood. LIKES PUNS . When well executed, puns are one of the greatest forms of comedy.
