Name: Shizubaya Kurogane
Age: 20
Birthdate: November 2nd, 2012
Height: 5' 9"
Occupation: Head of the Shizubaya Group/family
Partner: Arkadimon
(Arkadimon [Fresh/In Training] -> Arkadimon [Rookie] -> Chrysalimon -> Infermon -> Diaboromon)
Digivice:
A mix of different personality traits at war due to both his strong will and the Dark Spore festering inside of him, Kurogane is at times as twisted and ruthless as any human could possibly be, while at other times merely fatalistic but dignified. Driven by both the knowledge that he is living on borrowed time as well as the concept that few humans ever make what he considers meaningful impact with their lives, Kurogane has become calculating and callous, viewing everyone and everything around him as either objects for his amusement or tools and pawns to further either Arkadimon or his own goals, although he sees the two objectives as one and the same.
Arkadimon
By all accounts an abomination even by the standards of digimon such as Devimon and even Kimeramon, Arkadimon's very status as a digmon would have been in question had it not been for the fact that it, or "he" as Arkadimon refers to itself, was linked to a digivice and has the ability to digivolve. Even still, Arkadimon's mind is as alien to other digimon as he is humans, even his partner, the only being Arkadimon considers to understand him to a certain degree and also the only individual that Arkadimon even is willing to speak to. Similar to his human partner, Arkadimon is driven by only one desire, although his goal is far more immediate and comparitively small scale - to become a perfect being, one having evolved beyond all other digimon, even the Four Harmonious ones. In that goal he is willing to work with Kurogane, with both of them viewing their goals as complimentary - in return for accelerating Arkadimon's goals, the digimon is more than willing to lend the power he acquires to Kurogane for the human's own goals, recognizing that what his partner lacks in strength is more than made up for by his formidable intelligence and ruthlessness, which was further augmented by the Dark Spore that drew Arkadimon to him. Blunt, ruthless and pragmatic, it is only Kurogane himself preventing Arkadimon from absorbing every piece of data he encounters, much the same as the Keramon of thirty years ago. As a side note, however, Arkadimon has begun to become more and more interesting with the idea of "honor", a concept that at first merely puzzled him but has gained his attention as Kurogane's core personality began to resurface.
Friends: Few and far between when he was a child, people who could be described as such no longer exist in Kurogane's life, having progressed to viewing both people and digimon as little more than pawns and playthings for his own goals and amusement, and it is only the reemergence of Kurogane's core personality that keeps his actions in check. While it would take an extraordinarilly persistant or otherwise exceptional individual to draw Kurogane's attention as a end rather than a means, such individuals would find themselves no greater ally, with Kurogane even willing to risk physical harm to himself to protect them.
Allies, while not really friends, will still be treated with respect by Kurogane as long as they remain useful to him, with the man viewing them as loved tools of the trade, to be respected for their abilites but not things to become attached to. Kurogane, however, is likely the only one to view this as an open distinction - to the rest of the world there would appear to be little difference, with Kurogane still willing to go to considerable lengths to preserve the ability of an individual to be of service to him, at least until it becomes more prudent in the long run to sacrifice one for the advancement of his objectives. That is not to say, however that Kurogane would destroy or dismiss someone the instant they failed him or became a short term problem.
Enemies: While Kurogane may have been somewhat unfamiliar with the former category, he is very well acquainted with this one. Due to his narcassistic attitude, ruthless behavior and increasingly common emergance of violent and unpredictable tendencies as a result of the Dark Spore within him, Kurogane has made a number of enemies, both personal and business. The kicker, however, is that few of them are around anymore, having either met with unfortunate electronic related accidents, heart failure, aneurisms, car accidents, and dozens of other events that would otherwise..... remove... them from the playing field. Those that are still around are little more than either nuisances or playthings from his perspective, incapable of causing him or his objectives problems and as such either not spared the effort of removal or merely allowed to exist for his periodic amusement. Any serious opposition to rise up against him would be treated one of two ways - either with overwhelming force with the intent of crushing said opposition to the point where it is incapable of striking back, or allowed to mount their opposition simply as a way to offer him challenge, a way to pass the time if he happened to be feeling bored or otherwise amused at the time. While he tolerates AIR's existance as he views tearing down such a valuable potential resource to be a wasteful gesture, he will not hesitate to let Arkadimon attack and absorb any digimon affiliated with them or the Harvesters, simply seeing it as a legit method of competition as well as another way to further his and Arkadimon's objectives.
Romance: Similar to the idea of having friends, the current Kurogane has never even considered the possibility of allowing someone to get so close to him, either viewing it as a vulnerability or simply unworthy of him given his view of other human beings. While possible, it would take a great deal of effort, and would only be achievable after becoming friends with the man first.
Other: Fairly well aware that the above three categories don't even come close to covering everything, so that's what this section is for.
