★ Folkmore Roles & Attributes ★
Skills: Passing in basketball, simple magic tricks, sleight of hand, misdirection
Canon Abilities: Skills but amplified in a flashy way, lack of presence that makes him nearly invisible to most people
Role: Familiar
Role Qualities/Attributes: Pointy black-and-white dog ears and fluffy black dog tail, also little fangs
Role Reasoning: I'm picking Familiar for Kuroko due to his self-imposed role in canon as a “shadow” to someone's “light”. To quote Kuroko on what that means (thanks Wiki), “I am a supporting actor, a shadow. But a shadow will become darker if the light is stronger and it will make the white of the light stand out. As the shadow of the main actor, I will make you, the light, the number one in Japan.”
In general, Kuroko's position on a team is supportive. His unique talents in passing and misdirection are developed in order to give his teammates the best chance of succeeding. He's also a supportive friend and is willing to help out where he can.
As far as plans go, I don't know if he'll find another “light” in the game, but he can be of help to Legends and Myths just fine when he's not minding his own business. Also I'll have fun with him being a dog boy.
★ Personality ★
Option 1:
Upon initial observation, Kuroko is weak, unassuming, and serious if not totally neutral. In normal situations, this leaves him being read as a little weird or strange. When it comes to being perceived as a basketball player, however, it leads to others dismissing him right off the bat; this often gives Kuroko an edge during games as he can use his skills without needing to be concerned about being on anyone's radar. This all comes from his lack of presence, which is so low that it makes him pratically invisible to people.
Kuroko's philosophy around basketball is rooted in the team aspect of the sport. He believes the best way to win and play is to work together as a team, and build connections within a team rather than focus solely on individual players' individual skill sets. His special talent is passing, which works best when there's a bond built with the people on his team, but he's able to perform his special passes with even new teammates.
Supporting others is at the core of Kuroko's motivations. His passes help support the team by getting players the ball from anywhere without detection by opponents, and he works hard to develop his passing technique when he realizes more support is needed. He describes himself as a “shadow” to another's “light”, supporting from the unseen shadows to make one's light shine brighter. In high school, his wish is to make his team the best in Japan, and he's dedicated to putting his all into helping with that goal. Beyond basketball, Kuroko is always ready to lend a hand to help out a friend and wants nothing more than for his friends to be at their best, even when he's been slighted by them.
Kuroko doesn't give off the air of someone who's ambitious or competitive, but his desire to win pushes him to get stronger and play harder. Winning isn't everything to him, but when he plays he plays to win. His competitive nature will even have him behaving recklessly at times; he'll try to play with an injured wrist or while he's bleeding from an injury to his head (luckily for his health and wellbeing, he's too weak to mask these things well). Kuroko will sometimes propose risky plays if it means he think they'll lead the team to victory.
Observant and clever, Kuroko is able to read people fairly well. The more he knows someone the more he can pick up on their attempts to deceive him, either through sarcasm or straight up lying. In general, his ability to pick up on emotions and small actions helps him in both interpersonal situations as well as on the court.
Despite Kuroko's general vibe of neutrality and invisibility, he has comedic and reckless sides to him. Sometimes he'll make jokes at others' expense in a deadpan tone, phrased in a matter-of-fact way in his observational humor. He's known to use his lack of presence to try to get out of trouble, either by running away without a trace or arriving late but acting as if he's been there the whole time by playing on others' difficulty noticing him. In terms of his reckless behavior, it manifests mostly when someone is facing an injustice and he rushes in to help without thinking twice.
Kuroko handles conflict calmly and confidently. He's not afraid of confrontation, and in fact sometimes seeks it out if he feels the need to. When it comes to matters of basketball, he believes matters between athletes should be taken care of during a game where they can play basketball about it. Kuroko doesn't shy away from telling someone how it is; he'll be blunt about things face-to-face.
