‧˚𓆙˚‧‧˚𓆙˚‧‧˚𓆙˚‧‧˚𓆙˚‧‧˚𓆙˚‧‧˚𓆙˚‧ Kurojin Arai was once a street rat in Neo-Tokyo Sector 7, a slum drowned in neon haze and corporate oppression. Orphaned by gang wars, he was sold into Project Oni, a black-ops experiment by the mega-corp Shinsei Biotech. Their goal: fuse cybernetics with nanite-driven symbiotes to create living weapons.

Kurojin survived where dozens didn’t, bonded with a prototype construct—Serpent-01, a nanite swarm shaped into a skeletal snake. It crawled into his bloodstream, wrapping around his spine like a parasite, whispering in his mind. When it activates, the serpent manifests as a glowing, bone-like hologram, half-machine, half-spirit.

He escaped during a corporate raid gone wrong, disappearing into the undercity. Now, known as "Specter", he stalks neon alleys as an enforcer, data-thief, and assassin-for-hire. Some call him a vigilante, others a cursed ghost of the city. The truth? He’s both.
