❛ CALL ME CARTHAGE, BABY. LEAVE A VOICEMAIL.
karakurenai.
there's a hunger in me, something vicious. a thirst to be celestial, godly, divine—oh, he craves violence like a bad addiction: loves the high of being broken, breaking, being put back together like a bad dream—loves both the cut and the kill, whichever one comes first.baby, he's a monster so fucking monstrous that he didn't even come with a name until that fated day at the temple where he met his saint. karakurenai is less a name than it is a concept: crimson-red, wild-red, akane sasu (shining madder red),& his saint gave him that name for the way they found him at the boundary of the temple, red smeared across his mouth, red dripping down leather gloves, red painted over the pure white of his silk montsuki like poppies in snow.

he's on the verge of making himself radioactive—like hands can't be called hands unless they're wrapping themselves around his bruise-split throat; if you've seen anything worth wanting, then let it be the way he snaps his teeth over your name, flush with a sick kinda’ desire,( like he’s wanting to shove his fist through your stomach & out through your spine, rib-bone splinters caught underneath his nails. )and home isn’t a place, it’s the way the muzzle fits around his mouth. home isn't a place, it's the way a razor-wire fits to his throat. there’s no way a man like him has learned how to be human: from the naked-blade glint in his eyes to the way he smiles like it’s a threat.if he is worth anything at all, it is this: throw a dog a bone, and it’ll wag its tail at you for a lifetime. throw this dog a bone, and sure—he’ll bite the hand that feeds him, chewing up fingerbones ‘til it’s all gore and gristle,
| it's all blood and desire, yeah? so he's currently bodyguard to a yakuza heiress who's promised him blood. |
| has a sister and six other siblings; more snake-like than most au'ra. aether feels like lightning after a midsummer storm, thick and sweltering and hungry enough to choke on. |
but he's good, baby. good at what he does. good at killings and good at preyings and good at praying, so the benzene-ikka heiress tosses him a collar and tells him to follow her,( there's blood in the water, shark, she says with that smile of hers. empires to raze. meat to gorge yourself on. women to fuck. and the KAIMETSU-KAI collects wounds that refuse to heal anyway, so. )he's a simple kinda' guy with simple fucking needs. got the kinda' lack of empathy that comes from knowing that fate will bend over—that fate will present itself like a bitch in heat.so he falls in love with the blood on his hands. falls in love with the heat-slick spit-slick of dirty jobs and huntings and wild things underneath the light of the moon.see? you gotta' kill him first, if you wanna' tame him.

what everyone notices first is his grin: devil-may-care, the faintest hint of a sneer tipping at the curve of his lips. his teeth are big, bright, and sharp—canines meant for shredding and cutting glint in the arrogant lilt of his smile. pupils are slitted, with myriad irises ( red-wild ) overlapping each other like the petals on a sakura flower, aetherical tattoos pulsing a deep-blood crimson as the lines drag from ‘neath his eyes to the arc of his cheekbones & to monster-eyes slit shut ‘neath his arrogant gaze.white hair, tipped pink, is clasped behind his horns: braided, the length of it ending around thighs. often clad in riotous silks—red set on dark that blooms into oranges and yellows—with exposed collarbones and pectorals, silk hugging broad shoulders. in more formal ventures, he prefers wearing sleeveless black tops, red-orange-yellow haori open at his waist as if he’d taken it off halfway. when on bodyguard duty, he is forced to wear dark armour ‘neath his silks.muscled & toned—almost leonine. very, very tall and broad; built for taking hits and returning them.
| LIKES digging into open wounds & spreading salt into bloodied hands ・ mouth dry at the thought of sinking teeth into neck ・ bruises purpling across skin at his touch ・ violence & the satiation of his hunger ・ expensive jars of sake & drunken nights ‘neath sakura trees ・ being called a monster & being treated like one ・ flowers, in general—sakura, most of all, transient things that they are |
| DISLIKES being trapped into an obligation he disdains ・ those who become too attached to companionship ・ those who think they deserve something from him ・ the sour-rot smell of corpses baking under the summer sun ・ blood, just before it dries: sticky and cold |
claw-tipped fingers & scales that wind up his forearms; scales are a true-dark colour devoid of imperfections—they dot along the hollows of his collarbones and nestle against his throat. clawed & digitigrade feet; often barefoot or seen with geta. bells are wound around his left ankle. when not on duty, his horns are decorated with elaborate golden hoops and chains.his katana—a shinogi-zukuri—is sheathed, holstered at his waist. it barely sees any use. kukri knives are strapped to his thigh; jaku niku kyo shoku is engraved below their hilts. bone tekko kagi are held at his hips.
