KUROSAWA KEIJI
NAME: Kurosawa Keiji
ALIAS: --
AGE: 592
ALLIANCE: VagabondFACECLAIM: SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI - hitoshura______________________________________________APPEARANCE: The heritage and ethnic origin of the man had been displaced as a result of the experiments he was subject to. A body of porcelain complexion was return with a wiry frame lined with deep jet marks, networking their way over his body in intricate designs. They seemed to be responsive to reiryoku output of his body, and will directly correlate with color in comparison to any sort of mood. His pointed is tainted with several protrusions, all hollow in perspective, and his face resembles features of the same race. Keiji is rather beast-like in his features, with prominent and sharpened canines, and a threatening grimace of a face. Dark and rigid brows sit over amber eyes that never seem to fade. Atop sits a disheveled mop of ebony locks, complimenting his rough exterior.PERSONALITY: Once a bright and studious young man, inspired by progressive culture, adaptation and the cultural and scientific advancement of Soul Society, Keiji has become a mere husk of his former shadow. His experiences have molded him into a scarred being, with little familiarity with his former self. Keiji is a radically driven and aggressive man, poisoned with a vile tongue dipped in emotional venom. His words and meanings are vague and intentionally cryptic at times, all while twisted and confused. The man shows his previous aptitude, but that bright spark and humanitarian outlook had dissipated with all moral sense. He is nothing but an impish, self-serving, asshole - more interested in the failure of others that most things. While he does show some virtue, and redeeming qualities, at best he is a snake with the sole purpose of punishing those who'd let him become what he is.______________________________________________HISTORY: Kurosawa Keiji was born in a time were where ran rampart, and swords provided the strength to rule. A poor village family was what he had become used to, and during the reign of Shogun Yoshinori. Being from the peasant class, he was a victim of poverty and his days as a child and beyond were remembered only by the blisters on his feet and hands, and the scars on his body. As dissatisfaction grew with the Shogun, Keiji's own family would raise up against the power, in hopes of a better life beyond.
Keiji was a fighter from the beginning, and his village had armed themselves with their own farm tools to join the growing rebellion. Due to a remote location, they trained in the comfort - without fear of immediate retaliation. Unfortunately, his own would be among the first to be made example of. The nearby daimyo had instructed a troop of Samurai to comb through the mountains edge, a vital line in the trade route to the heart of Japan, and punish those that disturbed the peace that the Shogun and Emperor fought for. It was futile to resist, yet Keiji did regardless, emblazoned by the emotions caused by his life. Half of his village was executed due to harboring these warriors of treason, while Keiji was fortunate enough to die amidst the pathetic display of combat.
Perhaps it was that way of the warrior that carried on to the next life, to a life where he was able to thrive. The poverty was no more, as he was brought into a lesser Noble family for his modest looks and strong charisma. He boasted incredible intelligence for such a young and undisciplined man, and through the help of wealth, he was given the opportunity to make use of the potential. It was a mere thirty years in Rukongai before there was the decision to continue studies as a shinigami, his ambition to do good for the poorer districts strong, an everlasting memory from his childhood. Perhaps it was that ambition that would also damn the young soul.
With the academy conquered, Keiji's scored and contacts reflected his destination quite clearly, and he would be enlisted into the twelfth division. The years became blurred to Keiji from this point, his existence happening so fast with his own enthusiasm strong. He could recollect the memories of bouncing from 17th seat all the way to 5rd seat within a few short years, and, from there he was liked well enough to be placed as Vice Captain of the 12th division.
Keiji's master and he began as intellectuals for a greater cause, and with their combined mind power, they advanced technology within Soul Society greatly, most notably with medical procedures. Treatment towards lower Rukongai was better, and there was genuine humanitarian work being completed. However, there laid the lasting problem of a lack of power, and a lack of necessary resource to continue such work. Keiji became desperate, alongside the Captain, and this would prove to be the bane of such an existence.
They looked towards the extreme for a solution, and it came with the capture of a certain hollow possessing the ability to regenerate itself. With no subject to work with, Keiji volunteered himself, and together they worked to mix the physiology of each, hoping to birth an invention that would be able to fight the misfortune of poverty, as well as provide assistance to those in combat with the hollow. It was a misguided attempt, and when it came down to the action, it only birthed a monster.
Keiji's body aggressively rejected such a treatment, and while physically he obtained signs of change, it was only on the outside. Instead his body reacted with poison, and infection, and though the medicine helped, it twisted and distorted whatever mindset he initially had. The darkest parts of the man's mind was magnified, and his own power grew exponentially from his previous place, as well as his mindset for battle.
He had escaped the labs, and the Captain himself was forced to act with extreme caution and subtly, the work more than forbidden within Seireitei. Keiji would be the cause of several murders in the lower districts of Rukongai, existing beyond the borders in the forest, and hunting on their souls with cannibalistic fashion. While not a hollow, he possessed the tendencies of one. After two weeks, he was reclaimed, and with careful action, was accused of murder versus any accusation with hollow involvement, and his placement would be in the bottom of the Maggot's Nest.
Keiji's sentence was an eternity for his disgrace to the order, and for a hundred years he has been present in such a labyrinth and dungeon.______________________________________________DIFFICULTY: Hard.
