The plague started 5 years ago, spreading across the world at rapid rates, causing a zombie-like state into those who contracted it. Their minds were overtaken, body morphed into something that couldn't be alive. Near that time, the Kuruta Clan's existence became known, their eyes shining scarlet when they were emotional. Some people saw it as a threat, that if they were struck by the disease when their eyes were red, they would become immensely harder to defeat that the normal 'undead.' So, to prevent the problem, a small group of 12 that called themselves "The Phantom Troupe" decided to eradicate their existence completely. But just 6 weeks before the massacre, a young, blond-haired boy at the age of 12 had left the village to explore the world, unaware of the infection slowly killing a large portion of the population. His name was Kurapika, the current last survivor of the Kuruta Clan. He began venturing, soon become quite knowledgable about the disease and how to avoid getting it, also gaining info on the people who destroyed his home village. He was going to get revenge, no matter what. Little did he know, he would eventually meet friends and run into the people who murdered his entire family for the supposed "protection" of the world. And, he would begin learning things he would have never known prior, including things about himself. (~nen does exist~)
