Characters: Nae | Tetsuo |

Name: Kurohasu (黒蓮)

Species: Elephant Rhinoceros Beetle Anthro (Megasoma elephas humanus)

Body type: Fat muscular (“musclegut”)

Height: 2,10m (6'11")

Big and tall, Kurohasu is wandering ruffian. Having no home, he travels from city to city searching for whatever can keep him entertained, most of the times involving women and a lot of alcohol. He's a good humored guy, but very hotheaded. It requires just the lesser of insults for him to draw his twin katana, Shikaku and Kanchi. He cares little about rules and will do whatever he wants, which inevitabily leads him into a bunch of trouble. Not that he minds, anyway.

Kurohasu is covered in scars and keloids. He has a huge sized scar across the left side of his face, going from the top of the carapace to the bottom of the jaw. He does not have his left eyeball. You can see his face's left side here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8937649/
