~Height: 5’ 5” ; Variable (as Crimson)
Personality: Kyuusho is one who spends time mostly on his computer terminal and nowhere else. He barely has acquaintances, let alone friends, and as such, is often faced with having a low self esteem. To compensate for this, he is a truly intelligent person with the capacity to learn knowledge at a rapid pace, often trying to adapt what he learned into reality. It should be noted he is a whiz at chess, word and number puzzles, and complicated mathematical equations. The unfortunate truth of the matter is that he has trouble interacting with other humans, often feeling misplace in crowds.
Living in a life of solitude, the only time he seems to act like a social person is on the computer, drowning himself in MMORPGs, blogs, forums, social networks, and etc. On the internet, he acts like a completely different person, so much so that one wouldn’t be able to conclude that Kyuusho is F-Inverse, a friendly and humorous internet identity that has hundreds of friends on social networks.
Though he does distance himself from interacting with other humans, he has a desire to make real friends. However, when he encounters real contact, he often panics and becomes timid, social awkward, and afraid. His biggest fear is himself, and how he may hurt others if he gets too close to them.
On the flipside, he does have another personality that he is aware of. Calling himself Crimson, he changes Kyuusho’s appearance drastically, interested only in devouring anything in hopes to further his knowledge. He is highly intelligent and highly mentally unstable, going into psychotic episodes from time to time if he cannot have what he desires. Very brutal, violent, and speaks in an incoherent manner, unable to say full sentences, only fragments of words and ideas.
History:
Kyuusho never used to be the social coward that he is today. During his childhood, he was taken care of by his single mother, always being treated with the best opportunities that his mom could present him. As such, he was energetic, friendly, and was always seeking new friends that he could play with. However, when he was about age 8, an incident occurred that involved 20 children being kidnapped from the Karakura district by members of a cult. Abused, tortured, and humiliated, Kyuusho had to live under harsh conditions for over a year.
That circumstance created another identity known as Crimson, a strange mature personality that was very intelligent. Even though Crimson was there to help him cope with the pain, the cult kept performing painful rituals on the children, and slowly, it was Crimson that was the one that witnessed it all, keeping Kyuusho safe from the mental scarring as he lost sanity. Eventually, the children began dying off one by one, unable to survive the torturous experiments that the cult had put them through. The only one left one month later would later be Kyuusho, or rather, Crimson. Upset by what he had to go through, by what he witnessed, Crimson lost his mental insanity, in which he found himself seemingly dissolving into what appeared to be a black liquid. It was then that Crimson cackled as he realized what exactly the cult was trying to do. They were trying to create something unnatural, something inhuman…and they bestowed that ability onto the body that he was protecting. That night, Crimson became exactly what the cult members wanted.
Kyuusho woke up later to find that he was alone in an empty warehouse, where bloodstains and a strange black tar covered him. Confused, lonely, and frightened, Kyuusho stood up and wearily walked towards the exit, hoping that someone would help him. He looked back at the spot where he was, noticing a strange symbol and a message on the wall. It said, “WoRTHLESsnesS sHOulD BE puRGEd,” The symbol on the wall was a Because sign in mathematics (∵). The police found Kyuusho, and stormed the warehouse only to find that there was no trace of the cult members at all.
Six years passed. After being reunited with his mother, Kyuusho was afraid of what had happened. He was afraid to interact with anybody now due to intense paranoia, and as such, was often bullied at school for not being able to stand up for himself as well as being the most intelligent person in the school (getting nicknamed King Geek-Freak). Soon, he withdrew himself into his room, never coming into human contact and decided to live his life on the internet. As such, he developed a frail body and yet a sharp mind.
One day though, as he was walking home from school, he became a victim of a hollow attack as it was trying to consume souls. The beast knocked a car into him, in which Kyuusho believed that he was going to die at that moment. In a moment of desperation, he covered his head with his arms…in which they simply turned into the same black substance from before, creating a shield. Next thing he knew, he saw the state that his arms were in and then suddenly saw a massive black eight-legged creature, with a distinct white mask that made him shudder.
The Hollow looked at Kyuusho, noticing how this human had a strange black liquid covering his arms. Curious, he abandoned the soul he was hunting and approached Kyuusho slowly, laughing. He said, “Are you even a human? Well…it doesn’t matter what your answer is. It’s not like you could hear me…”
Kyuusho didn’t know how to respond as his body was frozen with terror. He thought he was going to die at that moment. However, as the spider jumped up, instinctively he lashed his hand out, the black tar solidifying into a sharp spike that impaled the spider hollow in the abdomen. The hollow screamed as the liquid began dissolving him…absorbing him. Unable to understand what was going on, he heard a voice that said, WHAT I IT? HOLLOW! HOLLOW! MINE! HE-heHEHEHhEHEHAHAHAHEHE!” The hollow cried as it fully vanished into the arm.
The boy was at a loss of words, wondering what exactly what on earth just happened. In his fear and confusion, he asked, “Why?” And then, from out of his neck, more black tar spurted, this time forming a twisted and round head as it stared turned it’s “neck” in a sickening 360 degree motion, gazing at Kyuusho straight in the face. It laughed maniacally as its face, or rather, a white mask, remained emotionless. It said in an incoherent manner, “Y u stupid hild! I wa born fro you!” before Kyuusho blacked out. The image of that white mask would forever be burned into his head: completely round, with the eye holes and mouth forming a ∵design.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in bed, along with a mysterious journal that he woke up with. He opened it, which revealed writing and a letter from ‘Crimson.’ Though it was highly illegible, that parts that he read revealed that the reason he was having so many black outs was because he had dissociative identity disorder, that Crimson was the one that was taking over his body countless times. As he read further along, he would find that the letter no longer made sense, being covered in symbols he has never seen before and equations that seemed highly out of place. However, there was one sentence that stood out clearly as he read on. It said, “Your body is MINE!”
At that moment, Kyuusho understood what Crimson was: a monster born out of his pain from long ago. In that fear, he distanced himself even away from his mother, locking the doors and becoming a recluse to an unhealthy point. Researching a way to help him out, Kyuusho locked himself in his room, hoping that Crimson wouldn’t come out. Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be.
Crimson took over once more, only this time, Kyuusho would find that he would be aware of what was going on. Crimson ventured out in his newly defined form, seeking to absorb more life for more knowledge. He came across a Shinigami who was on patrol. The two got into a battle, and Kyuusho witnessed that madness that was Crimson. As he was able to brutalize and kill the Shinigami, Crimson absorbed him into the black liquid, declaring that, “Soul…SOCIETY, Shiniga… HoLLOw…Ke..keke…KeKHEAHAHEHEHAHEHE!!!!”. At that moment, he knew locking himself in wouldn’t do any good, and that he would be placing his mother in danger if he were to stay.
The next night, on his own, he gathered a laptop, books, some money, and determination to leave his home in the middle of the night. He decided it was best to leave, in hopes that he could find someone out there who could help him. Since that night, he’d been having more frequent blackouts.
