NAME: Tsukinode Kazuo
Theme: Lateralus
ALIAS: Kenakuma (Sword Fiend)
RACE: Shinigami.
AGE: 419
AFFILIATION: Seireitei, Tsukinode, Jukan
DIFFICULTY SETTING: Hard
Face Claim: Jin from Samurai Champloo
APPEARANCE:
Tall and slim are Kazuo's most prominent features. Standing straight at 6'4" and more commonly slouching at 6'2" yet only weighing in at 151 lbs. Because of this Kazuo is known to bare a resemblance to scarecrows and other popular stick figures often becoming the butt of jokes. But as slim as Kazuo is, his form is nothing to make jest of in a fight. As the muscles grow taut and press against his skin it becomes apparent that Kazuo's body is a well oiled machine, fast and durable. -Also his skin is pretty pale-
Kazuo's Black sleek hair is tied with a perfectionists care for style. A ponytail tied up in the back leaving bangs to frame his face. A very old fashioned pair of spectacles rests on his nose that are often adjusted dependent upon whether he's been reading or not.
In Seireitei, Kazuo wears blue baggy robes that do an extreme favor in hiding his unhealthy looking physique. In the real world (specifically Sapporo, Japan), he wears whatever seems customary and seasonal at the time attempting to blend with the people. He still makes room for his favorite color blue any time of the year.
PERSONALITY:
Kazuo is patient, quiet, and meek tending to stay on the edge of your view and look utterly normal. There is a saying that still waters run deep, and this falls disgustingly short of the man. While he remains quiet and polite away from the matters that do not involve him, the noble's mind is always churning. Still waters for Kazuo was more like a storm in a teacup.
Friendly too! Kazuo is not one who seeks aggression and conflict but conducts behavioral amiably towards all. He believes in a social 'karma' that defines the laws of his conduct. The basic summary of this social policy is simply called the I.O.U. Policy. Essentially if anyone should gift Kazuo with a favor or gift he feels charged with returning the gift with one of variably equal value. In turn should anyone steal or harm Kazuo, he creates a similar I.O.U. with negative connotations.
HISTORY:
The Reluctant Tsukinode,
Kazuo was born to the Tsukinode as simple as that. Some souls are born low and others noble, Kazuo just happened to be one of the lucky ones at first. Ultimately his noble blood trapped him in his own private hell when he was wed to a member of the Jukan family.
The Tsukinode family being one of the powerful noble families in Seireitei has a practice that ensures the security of their position. Arranged marriages. Kazuo was promised to a shrew of a woman who would hound him night and day for his attention and affection if left to her own devices. Feigning to learn to become a proper member of the Jukan family, Kazuo applied to the academy and busied himself with military work. A convenient side effect of choosing a military life left his wife enough political paper work and cat napping to do for both of them.
At first the life wasn't that bad. Kazuo fell into a steady rhythm of going home and effectively numbing himself to the shrill voice of his wife, sleeping, and then waking before her and returning to his team mates on squad 11. But soon problems began to arise, as Kazuo improved with his sword so too did his wife at paper work. Her desire for attention grew and in time Kazuo soon suffered the embarrassment of not only having his wife follow him around at work, but a royal escort trailing their every step.
With a friend's advice Kazuo applied for a transfer to a new team, though he had grown to enjoy his daily sword exercises on the 11th squad. A change needed to be made, a higher position with enough security for his wife not to be allowed in. 12th squad. In 12th squad, a much higher level of security would be required.
Kazuo's time spent with the 12th squad were comparable to those he had spent with the 11th squad as far as personal enjoyment and fulfillment went. But, where 11th squad had taught the discipline of body and reflex, 12th squad reinforced discipline of the mind and adaptive thinking in order to overcome any errors that had not been anticipated.
Soon Kazuo began a new training regime to achieve new heights of personal power and skill. With access to the tech brance of Seirtei, he would record his own training sessions complete with read outs of data. Taking this home with him, he would briefly attend to his wife before convincing her to get some sleep. Once she was sound asleep he would spend the next two hours pouring over his personal stats and records analyzing the data identifying weaknesses in himself and then adjusting his training as needed to correct weakness and facilitate a structured growth.
During his hours on the clock in 12th division he was required to put forth some constructive information or knowledge to add to the library. This was when Kazuo explored a curiosity he had always held for hell butterflies. Of the assignments available it was the safest, easiest, and in many ways relaxing study to pick up. Kazuo is credited in his time for discovering the defining subgenotypes of hell butterflies; which is to say not all hell butterflies are the same, and the defining factor is where the butterflies come from (dimensional). What Kazuo isn't credited for is his last project he kept for himself. The first successfully bred Trans-dimensional Butterflies. Though few in number (8), the trans-dimensional butterflies act as a signature or seal to those who know Kazuo.
A very curious type of hell butterfly they are very rarely known to fly to their destinations. Having soul sensitivities in their antennae beyond comprehension of all known souls, these butterflies can detect very familiar souls in all planes of existence given enough time to extend their sensations and reach out for familiar souls. In addition, their wings have been bred from the families of all planes of existence meaning that these chaps can with a flap of their wings collapse through the barriers between worlds.
In truth, the 12th squad had truly been where the royal discovered his passions and interests. From mental discipline, to breeding butterflies, all the way to mermaids. While reviewing and learning from the past reports archived in the 12th squad Kazuo came upon a record relating to Tomitsuka Shizuku. A mermaid though not of origins, it had in some part been 12th squads fault she was what she was. After having read the reports Kazuo sought out Shizuku for an informal post-op interview. He had an endearing respect for the mermaid and how she handled the role she had been given and in time they became friends. It should also be noted, that shizuku opened another door for Kazuo. Kido.
But Kazuo had proven to be a fool in underestimating his wife. She soon found his records and all the adjustments he had been making. She was nearly blinded with anger when she had found he had been avoiding her even at home to keep on his training and work. But then she saw the numbers. The woman was keen and had gained her own prowess in mathematics my managing their shared estate. What she saw now was that Kazuo was beyond his rank and file in statistics. Greed replaced anger, and she confronted Kazuo to demand he request a promotion.
Kazuo recoiled at his own idiocy and swore that he would look into moving up. To Kazuo it was the next step in his path anyway, but he had not felt confident in taking it just yet. To his wife, it was the next step to becoming a more respectable and powerful corner stone of the royal families.
After speaking with some friends to determine the best place for a man of his talents he received many recommendations. To his sorrow, neither 11th squad nor the 12th squad would give him a high seat for he had learned the ways of battle only to be corrupted with patience and wisdom and vice versa. In his hour of need of friend made a recommendation to an entirely new division he had yet to consider.
