CHARACTER Name: Shuichi Minamino/ Kurama Canon: Yu Yu Hakusho Timeline: About a year after the series is over If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: NA
Personality: Shuichi is a quiet, studious boy. He does well in classes and is well liked by his teachers and peers. He is polite to even the strangest of strangers, and generally pleasant to be around. But Shuichi Minamino is not all he appears to be. Inside the body of this normal high school student is the soul of an ancient fox demon, Yoko Kurama. While his family, teachers, and most of his peers know him as Shuichi, to the main cast of the show he is Kurama. In the main group he is what would be considered the brains of the opperation. Cool and calculating to a fault, he is the one that solves puzzles or wins the battles of wits when they stand in the way of the ‘hit things until they do what you want’ rationale of the rest of the team. In one episode Kurama saved all of his friends from a trap by winning a word game, showing his ability to keep his wits about him in high-pressure situations. He is normally very warm and kind, but when he is in a situation where lives are on the line (be it his own or his friends and family) he has an eerie skill to become cold and completely rational. Many of his opponents will try to use his kindness and his protectiveness of his friends against him. Many have tried threatening his human mother, who is is very attached to. They all soon learn that this is not a good strategy against Kurama. It is very unwise to make him mad. Towards the end of season 3 he traps a foe in a demon plant called the Sinning Tree which sucks the lifeforce from its victim while taunting them with their worst nightmares. The enemy he traps in the Sinning Tree had regenerative abilities that matched the pace of the tree. Since he could neither escape the tree nor control his regenerative abilities he was trapped there for all time, never allowed to die. When Kurama explained this the protagonist of the show, Yuusuke, turned to him and said “I haven’t done anything to piss you off, have I? If I have, I’m sorry.” Hiei originally teamed up with him, not just for his thieving skills, but also because he was scared of him and didn’t want to run the chance of ending up against him. When Kurama reverts to his Yoko form he seems to take on an almost completely different personality. Yoko Kurama is not just cool, but down right cold. He is vicious, seemingly more so than normal Kurama is. Long ago when he was the famous demon thief Kurama he betrayed his second in command, Yomi, because the demon was damaging his operations with his brash actions, even though they appeared to be friends at the time. Many might be lead to believe this means that Yoko Kurama and normal Kurama are two separate personalities, but they are not. In fact Kurama has said in the 2nd season of the anime that the two entities that are Shuichi and Yoko are beginning to fuse more and more together. Also not only does Kurama never once mentions not having control of his body when in his Yoko form. As of the end of the series he has resolved to not use Yoko in his fights. A decision that nearly cost him his life in his last shown fight of the series.
First Person: [The screen flickers on. A very confused red head stared into the camera. The feed jiggles a little as he taps the screen a few times. Kurama did not remember much, only that he had boarded the train that morning to go to school. He figures he must have fallen asleep at some point and woke up on a different train.]
Well, isn’t this interesting…
[He turns the watch over and around several times, inspecting every bit of the watch. Gentle muttering can be heard until eventually the camera focuses again on Kurama’s face.]
So this is some sort of communications device? Can anyone hear me then? My name is Shuichi Minamino. I’ve seen the posters that say this play is Ruby City, but I would appreciate a bit more information than that. Third Person: Kurama had to keep busy. Not being able to contact home was beginning to eat at him more and more each day. Of course he had been told the basics of how time at home froze when he was here, but the knowledge that none of his loved ones would realize he was gone only did so much to ease his nerves. In addition to his worrying about home, he was swiftly growing bored. For as long as he could remember he had a goal, something to work towards. As Yoko Kurama it had been the thrill of the heist. When he became Shuichi Minamino it had become school, then later honing his demonic powers and staying alive long enough to help his friends and family. But here there was nothing to work towards, no goals to be met. He tried to train by battling monsters in the park, but they only offered so much of a challenge, and it didn’t feel the same training with the other citizens. So he turned to something that seemed constant: plants. A day in the forests provided him with many interesting starts and seeds that he added to the small collection of demon seed he had on him when he was taken. An abandoned shop gave him room and planters. It would seem many of the others here were just as bored as he was and were more than willing to help him build on a little greenhouse on the back of the shop as well as a small cellar for his dark plants. In no time the floral shop Roses and More was open for business. It wasn't the same as being home, but being surrounded by his plants helped just a little.
