Rose (Kurupistonian)

About
Rose is one of the three Kurupis brothers, the progenitor members of the Kurupistonian race who were responsible for a large number of planet Kurupiston's greatest societal advancements.

During the early years of the three Kurupis brothers, Rose made countless innovations that allowed for them to live comfortably, including hunting smaller animals for food, cultivating rice and drying clay to use as pottery for food storage. In addition, he heavily rennovated Kamakura's crude pit dwelling to include a ceiling and a more safe floor structure, making it actually possible to live inside. Despite these astounding feats, Rose was largely ignored by his two brothers, who would instead play with each other while he did almost all of the work.

After constructing a sustainable society, Rose became interested in obtaining a more comfortable life. Kamakura took advantage of Rose's desires, as well as those of their other brother Santos, in order to gain their assistance in conquering territory for the nation of Tempura, which he had declared himself to be the king of. While Rose was willing to reluctantly follow his brother in his conquest, becoming a cannoneer in the Tempura army, he eventually grew tired of Kamakura's tyranny. Rose finally lost the last of his tolerance for Kamakura after he declared that he would have exclusive access to all of the "hot blonde gals" of the nations they had conquered, which caused Rose to stage a rebellion that plunged Tempura Nation into an era of civil war. After a long period of fighting, however, Rose grew weary, which was once again used against him by Kamakura, who declared himself to be a god who would be able to heal his fatigue. While Rose did not believe his brother, he was forcefully indoctrinated into becoming one of his followers.

When Sushi Tempura Nation began to experience a scientific revolution as it began to experience rapid westernization, Rose was quick to embrace many of the new inventions. Rose purchased an automobile and a television during this time, but both were destroyed by Kamakura, who declared him to be an agent of evil for supporting new technology. As the population of Kurupiston began to become enamored with watching moe anime, however, Rose quickly became concerned that television was corrupting the minds of his brethren, and lost interest in the medium as a result.

While it is presumed that Rose and his brothers perished alongside the rest of their race during their planet's destruction, as they are not explicitly shown during the destruction, their fate is currently unknown.

Personality and Appearance
Rose is a slightly small-sized yellow kurupistonian. While he refers to himself as a swordsman, he does not carry a sword at all, instead holding a rose plant along with a shield.

By far the most rational and intelligent of the three Kurupis brothers, Rose was almost singlehandidly responsible for constructing a sustainable society for the three of them. He is very curious about new things, and is quick to experiment with using them in new and creative ways whenever he gets a chance to. Of the three brothers, Rose is the most supportive of the development of new technology, and showed a great amount of interest in owning his own car. Despite his genius, Rose is largely ignored for his accomplishments, with Kamakura generally taking all of the recognition for himself.

Along with being highly intelligent, Rose is also very short tempered. He is prone to instantly lashing out at his brothers for their idiocy, and is quick to chastise Kamakura for his poor ideas. In spite of this, however, Rose is also fairly easy to persuade, as Kamakura is almost always able to successfully convince him to assist him in accomplishing his selfish goals, despite Rose vocally criticizing them.

Rose is noted by his brothers to possess a complex over the fact that, despite calling himself a swordsman, he does not actually possess a sword. When this fact is drawn to his attention, Rose has a tendency to become extremely emotional and begin sobbing heavily. In order to compensate for his lack of sword, he always carries another object with him in the place of one, most often a rose plant.

Rose has a close-yet-dysfunctional relationship with both of his brothers. In particular, he has a fierce sibling rivalry with Kamakura, who he often questions the ideas of. Rose is also frequently exasperated by his other brother Santos' idiocy, though he generally gets along better with him than with Kamakura. When both of his brothers became obsessed with moe anime, Rose became concerned for their mental well being, showing that, despite his constant frustration with their behavior, he does care about them. When examining the useless junk item, Rose compares it to his brothers due to it being entirely useless but too precious to throw out.

Abilities
Despite calling himself a swordsman, Rose never at any point displays any skill with, or even possession of a sword. Kamakura repeatedly refers to him as being "the Tempura Nation's greatest swordsman", though it is likely that he simply does this in order to appease Rose's fears about not actually being a swordsman. Despite this, he is shown to be a fairly competent fighter who was able to assist Kamakura in his war effort to conquer enemy territories. During this time, he manned a handheld cannon with a considerable amount of skill, though he vocally questioned why he wasn't instead using a sword.

Along with his fighting ability, Rose is shown to be an astoundingly intelligent being who possesses a natural gift for innovation and inquiry. Through his creativity, the kurupistonians were able to develop the skills necessary to hunt, farm and store food, as well as to construct houses to comfortably live inside of. Rose also owns a dictionary that allows him to be able to instantly identify all objects that appear before him, making understanding how to use them much more easy to do.
