Flash, it's fine to have a character or several with tragic backstories, as long as it's somewhat believable for the world and whatnot, and as long as the ways it reflects on their choices and personality are also believable.

Oh - why would Kuro not just gauge out his eye, if it runs the risk of making him go on a killing rampage? Does he actually enjoy killing people? If that were the case, I highly doubt Ozpin would allow him anywhere near his students. I suspect Ozpin is quite aware of the abilities of his charges, after all.
