KURAMA

I'm doing this in multiple comments, don't mind me.

SHUICHI MINAMINO AGE: ~ 20 HEIGHT: 6' BUILD: Lean, toned chest. No visible abs to speak of. (kind of nsfw? Thanks Poltergeist Report.) HAIR: Red EYES: Green ORIGIN: Mushiyori City (probably?), Japan LANGUAGE: Japanese. English, anything else they were teaching in school when Gen X were kids, I guess. VISION Kurama has consistently good posture, but he does lean against walls and stand fairly casually. His hands are almost always either balled into fists at his side or hidden in his pockets, outside of his tendency to gesture while talking. Despite this tense body language, as Shuichi, Kurama's got the opposite of Resting Bitch Face in that he looks perpetually amused more than anything. Chances are if a conversation is casual, he's just idly smiling the whole time. Which I do not have enough decent icons of. Also, He just pops out of bushes and appears out of thin air. I have a gif somewhere, this is not it though. He features are delicate enough to be occasionally mistaken for a castmate's girlfriend when they're seen together. He's very soft/feminine/pretty looking, which comes with a running gag in the manga that the anime basically cut out. His hair is cut in a hime style shag that goes down to his waist, with two shorter parts over the front of his shoulders. It's a fox tail. Presumably, he does this intentionally, as he likes to accessorize. The real world equivalent of his hair is basically a mix of this and this. No tattoos or visible scars. Kurama dresses in traditional martial arts gear (pictured) for battle or extremely casual in the manga. The anime did not fix this for over 20 years so he has like 4 entirely separate senses of style/wardrobes, and I have no decent icons. His closet must be huge. One thing that is consistent is that his clothing is always baggy or in layers, making it extremely difficult to get an idea of his build. He also never wears his hair up in the anime, not a single time. SOUND English: general voice sample. If you want something specific let me know and I'll look up a clip! Japanese: this is one of his theme songs, I'm sorry. Kurama is played by a woman in Japanese and has a very gender nuetral voice, his voice is also higher in earlier parts of the dub, getting deeper as he ages and the series goes on. I do not think this was intentional, but it's super fitting. (So samples will vary, basically.) As a human, he is exceptionally polite and formal, however he doesn't seem to use honorifics except with Kuwabara. I have no explanation for this. Generally, when speaking his tone is fairly nuetral while serious, but often carries a hint of amusement otherwise. The best indicator for which he'll use is thread context, at a holiday/party/festival event? Chances are higher he's outwardly amused and his tone will match. Talking about the destruction of the universe? Serious and nuetral, it is. while outwardly pleasant, Kurama can be distant and closed off emotionally. He keeps others at arms length and this can be evident in the way he talks, sometimes seemingly distracted or like he's looking for an out of the situation. This isn't really something that happens in games, it's kind of his Customer Service Voice for school. Be as boring as possible and the humans might leave him alone. Very serious and all business on the surface, Kurama’s also a bit of a troll and likes to tease when an opportunity arises, so possible to catch him in that mode as well. His tone carries a certain lilt to it when he's gearing up to tease or getting a dig in at someone (usually Hiei). When angry, Kurama reverts to a very short and clipped no-nonsense manner of speech similar to how he talks as a demon. He uses fewer words, can be more commanding and his voice lowers with his mood. Although it doesn't get as deep as his demon form's. Kurama gets this angry like ONCE in the whole series, so you really have to traumatize him to see it happen. SCENT Kurama would smell human to anyone with a sense to take note of that. Although it is mentioned once he smells "half human" by another demon, so if anyone wants to work that in somehow, let me know? This is a dub thing, they change a lot of "energy reading" to scent for some reason. For the average person he's going to smell pretty floral, roses are a staple so the most likely/obvious scent on him. Although it's possible to catch the smell of other vegetation or dirt/earth on him, he does garden the old fashioned way even with his powers. MISC I might have something later, I'm trying not to add even MORE to this tbh. That said Youko will probably be going up tomorrow.
