Personality: Sokushi is one of the kindest people you could meet. He is physically incapable of getting mad. One might not believe this, but he can't get mad at people. He's always happy, and he's really nice. He can get annoyed, but annoyed isn't mad. Depressed people make him want to cheer them up, so he'll go out of his way to do that. He's really playful until you get him onto the battle field. There he's completely serious and doesn't take anyone's bull.

And if he tells you something that has to do with Medical. Listen to him. Because he will actually do what ever necessary to make sure that you do what he told you. If he prescribes bed rest, do it, because he knows what he's talking about. He'll tie you to the bed with a smile, but it won't be that friendly of a smile.

Sexuality: bisexual

Relationship Status: Single, looking, but not actively, because he's crushing on someone already. Unrequited love FTW.


Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Aiko <--- Means Love Child.

Zanpakuto Looks: Normally a Katana of normal length, with a black handle with a red criss crossing design, and gold guard.

Released Zanpakuto Description: When in a released state, Aiko becomes a set of 100 throwing needles. Sokushi can either use these as a weapon or a healing device.

Needle shield
Needle Shield is a defense mechanism that he can use instantly, but does not cover his entire body. His needles will spread out against his skin, points out, and defend portions of his body.

Needles Attack
Needles Attack is where Sokushi can surround a person with the needles and send them forward in attack. A person using Shunpo can avoid this attack, but the attack will follow the person immediately, unless Sokushi calls them back to defend him.

Porcupine
This attack is where Sokushi surrounds himself with the needles and they spray out like a porcupine's needles.

Poison Needle
Sokushi is currently working to make this one work out perfectly. The poison is a slow acting poison that will speed up if the person continues to fight. It's a poison that once it enters the blood stream is extremely lethal. Sokushi has the antidote, and will administer it after a fight whether they want it or not, if the person hasn't killed themselves. For now, he can't infect all his needles with this. He's only managed about a fourth of the 100 needles so far.

The Healing
Sokushi can't use any of these powers at the same time. He can only use them one at a time, so when he's using his healing talent, all of his needles bend at the edges, looking a lot like staples. When the staples pierce the skin, they release a localized freezing agent. The staples will hold the skin together, and speed the healing up and mend extremely fast. When the wound is healed, the person is usually tired, and sapped of energy, but there are no more wounds, even from the staples going into the skin. These Staples can not heal scars, or bruises. If releasing the localized freezing agent/healing a person they will shine a soft red, the same colour as Sokushi's Reiatsu. The larger the wound, the longer it takes to heal.

Zanpakuto Release Phrase: Sit upon with your Judgment Aiko!!

Released Zanpakuto Looks: Thin needles that can either pierce skin, or staple skin together. Sokushi can control them a lot like Byakuya's Senbonzakura.

History and RP Sample

History: Sokushi has never really known anything bad. He never had a human life, and was born in the Soul Society to begin with. He doesn't really remember who his parents were because it was so long ago that he saw them. But he does know that one of them, if not both, were Shinigami, because he's been able to get into the Shinigami academy as well as the 4th Division.

While he was in the academy, he got really good at healing people, and was usually assigned the Medic role on training missions. It was good to be good at it, but he also had exceptional Swordsman skills. But for the first 80 years of his Shinigami Career, he went with the 4th Division, learning all he could, but wanting to desperately get out into battle with his Zanpaktou. Aiko and him could do wonders, he was sure of it.

There was only one bad thing that happened to Sokushi. He lost one of his best friends. The woman was more like a sister to him then a friend, but that aside, they went on a mission together to assist the 3rd Division, and were met with resistance. From the opposite side. His friend was attacked, and before he could get to her, she had died. He knew there was nothing he could have done, but it doesn't make things any easier on him. After that, he wanted out of the 4th Division and wanted to move to another Division. He requested a transfer, and it was granted.

He was now a 3rd Division Member and he quickly rose through out the ranks there till he sat at the 5th seat. He had no aspirations to rise any further then that, because he was quite content with where he was. The next few years saw him fighting, and doing exceptionally well at it, as well as saving his team mates lives through his medical knowledge.

RP Sample:
Sokushi walked along the path to his quarters. He lived in the barracks, and shared his rooms with the 6th seat. He was okay with that, the person was nice. But really it was hard to be who he was, because he liked the best of both worlds, sexually. And he was in love with someone, but that someone didn't know it, and he was QUITE happy to keep it that way. After all, as long as no one knew about it, he couldn't get found out and transferred out of his Division.

Entering his quarters, he grabs his medical bag, and then heads out. His Captain was sending him out on a mission with a couple of the others from the Division, and Sokushi was excited to go. It had been a while since he had last gone on a mission, and he knew that it was going to be serious if he was being asked to go, as well as lead the team of 6. A smile covered his face as he walked towards the entrance of his Division. It was good day to be a Shinigami, and he was going to make it a good tomorrow too, if he had anything to say about it. Waving to his Captain, he gives a inward sigh. Kira Izuru was always so depressed....and that made Sokushi want to cheer him up like crazy. It was so....not fair for him to be so sad all the time.... "Kira-Taichou!!! I'm off. See you in about a week." he said with a grin at him, feeling his heart give a hard knock.

Oh yes, it was a good day to be a Shinigami. It was also a good day to be in love. Taking a deep breath, he runs to the doors and met the rest of his team there.
