Carmine (カーマイン) is an unallied In-Birth who fights just for fun. On the streets, his ability to manipulate blood, as well as his violent and almost sociopathic tendencies, quickly earned him a reputation under the alias of the Crimson Origins (). His real name is unknown. He is one of the twelve characters introduced in the original version of UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH.
Appearance[]
Carmine is a lean young man with long white hair and black eyes. His most recognizable attire consists of a black, sleeveless jacket that goes down to just above his waist, giving him somewhat of a midriff. The jacket is zipped up halfway, revealing some of his chest. Carmine's legwear consists of a pair of baggy, blood red pants, which are held up by a black and silver belt. Carmine also wears some similarly colored shoes. Carmine also likes to turn the skin of his arms, his hair and the whites of his eyes red with his own blood before a battle, a fear tactic used to intimidate his enemies. Carmine's school uniform is the same as Hyde's but worn arguably even more loosely. Underneath the uniform, Carmine wears a grey shirt and two necklaces featuring a dog tag and a crucifix.
Personality[]
Carmine's most prominent trait is his thirst for violence. Cruel, sadistic, foul-mouthed, short-tempered, and prone to maniacal laughter, Carmine is very proud of his ability and doesn't hesitate to use it to inflict as much pain as possible to anyone who "pisses [him] off". He will, however, not administer the killing blow if his anger is sated shown with both Hyde and Hilda in his story. He is aware of the presence and activities of Licht Kreis and Amnesia, possibly showing some hidden insight; yet doesn't care for either of them due to his seething hatred of people who group together, seeing it as a sign of weakness and actively goes out of his way to hunt down small gangs while maintaining a loner's disposition. To Carmine, all he seeks is defeating those that irritate him; survival of the fittest is all that matters. Even though Carmine has gained a nickname thanks to his unique ability, he himself doesn't see any meaning in that name. It is just something others use to refer him. Carmine doesn't use the alias to introduce himself in a similar fashion like other In-Births such as Chaos do. Carmine is also very prone to getting bored and can easily lose interest in whatever it is he's doing. He also has a very low opinion of himself despite his Japanese pronoun usage ("ore"), referring to himself as trash and states that he wouldn't care if he died on top of a pile of garbage. Despite his sour personality and easy penchant for getting bored, Carmine is able to hold a somewhat civil conversation with certain people, as seen with Roger and Azel. Carmine also refuses to harm Azel at first due to him being a child, but he isn't afraid to threaten him should he annoy him.
