Name: Genzen Kigakiku
Alias: The Quiet Type, Mr. Nice Guy
Age: Around 150, looks young. Few can place his apparent age, some thinking he’s 13, while others think he’s 18.
Gender: Male
Class Shinigami
Faction: Gotei 13
Rank: 12th Division, 4th Seat

Description: Genzen looks very young, around 15 or 16. He’s medium height, being a little less than six feet, so he’s not short, but there are many who are taller. His eyes are dark red, and he has dark brown hair of a reasonable length, which always looks like it hasn’t been combed, as if he just got out of bed. He typically wears a shy smile to compliment his ‘good guy’ personality, though his expression is usually more calm and contemplative whenever he’s thinking or working in the lab.
Reiatsu Color: Golden
Personality: Genzen is a nice guy on the outside, and not much else. He’s generally very optimistic, and likes to see the good in other people, and enjoys life in general. He likes to make people happy, and if they ask him a favor, he’ll always say yes, even if it comes at personal expense. This isn’t because he’s trying to make people like him, he just does what people ask him to by default. Some will take advantage of him because of this, and although he realizes it, he’ll keep cooperating as long as the requests are reasonable. He’s also easy to play tricks on, not because he’s gullible, but because he does what people say without realizing what’s going on.
On a personal level, Genzen is a quiet guy, not that he’s shy, he just prefers to listen and doesn’t think he has much to say. If he knows you well, he’ll open up a bit, because he thinks you might care about what he has to say. He has a love for science, and almost lives to further his own understanding of the universe, while at the same time he accepts that his knowledge is very limited, and he will always be ignorant to a degree. He detests experiments that expend or cause permanent damage to Souls, be they living or dead, but doesn’t speak his mind much around superiors who perform such experiments, and won’t try to stop them, even if he has an opportunity to.
He has a similar attitude when it comes to orders that he may consider to be wrong or immoral. He just holds his tongue and follows commands, hiding all of his emotions and objections within himself. He may act apathetic or cruel while he’s trying to contain his real feelings, and others will think that what they’re seeing is his real personality.
Family: Deceased, status unknown.
History: Genzen’s early life as a human was relatively ordinary and uneventful. He grew up in a middle-class family in Japan during the end of the Edo period, his father being a masterless samurai, or ronin. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until he was around twelve, when his father joined the Roshigumi, a group of Ronin who were to protect the Tokugawa shogun from enemies who sought to overthrow the shogunate government. They were deceived, however. Once their initial task was accomplished, the leaders of the Roshigumi switched sides, along with most of the ronin in the group. Yet a small number, Genzen’s father among them, remained loyal to the shogun, and formed the Shinsengumi, which eventually rose in numbers and fought to protect the shogun. Yet after a long conflict, the shogun surrendered and his forces were defeated.
The dead soul of Genzen’s father was not at peace, however, and wandered until he found his family after many years. Of course, he could not be seen by them, and watched them with sorrow for nearly a year as they lived on without him. The despairing father eventually let his yearning and sadness turn to hate, and soon gave in and became a Hollow. In his senseless rage and desire to have the family that could not see him, he killed all of them before he was purified by a Shinigami. Genzen’s soul was sent to Soul Society when he died, and he soon forgot about his past life as he began a new one on the streets of Rukongai.
A street urchin, Genzen was poor, but didn’t really consider himself to be. He liked to look after Souls that were younger than him and couldn’t take care of themselves as well. He made sure they had water to drink and would be safe from any that would do harm, raising them as if he were their older brother. They looked up to him and always wanted to hear anything he had to say, and this all just made him happy in general. But as time went on, he began to notice his own hunger, a sensation he was not familiar with but felt he knew from before. In the end, he found no other way but to steal food from some of the richer Souls in Rukongai. At night when the kids slept, he would sneak in through windows and steal from the unwatched food being prepared, though he didn’t go entirely unnoticed in this practice. Eventually he was reported by many, and the Shinigami went to find him, taking his hunger as a sign of his potential.
Under the Shinigami’s encouragement, he took the entrance exam for the Shino Academy, and after passing was inducted to begin his training as a Shinigami. Zanjutsu and Kidou weren’t his strong spots, though he was more than proficient in those skills. He loved the sciences he learned there, however, and practically memorized all there was to know about the Spiritual Realm and everything outside. It was while training that Genzen met Azerik Zaraki, a Shinigami who refused to be tutored in the academy, but rather taught himself what there was to learn. The two became unlikely friends, and after Genzen graduated from the academy, Azerik was Lieutenant of the 12th Division, and had Genzen recruited as the division’s 4th Seat.

Zanpakuto Name: Herutsuryoku (The Heart’s Power)
Description
Spirit Description:
Combining immense strength with primal instinct, Herutsuryoku embodies the strength of Genzen’s heart. His emotions will typically magnify Genzen’s; when Genzen is thoughtful or calm, Herutsuryoku will be analytical and cold. Should Genzen be angry, Herutsuryoku will be wrathful. If Genzen is sad, Herutsuryoku will be a wreck. Using his Zanpakuto’s power works the same way; if Genzen has no resolve, the sword will be weak as well. He must harness not only his power, but his Heart, if he is to use Herutsuryoku’s strength.
Inner World: Genzen’s world is a vast desert that is always well lit, filled with a strange sand that can reflect light in unusual ways. Typically it glitters, but when the wind picks up, it will become airborne and cause semi-realistic illusions with its reflective properties. It may take on the appearance of a thought or memory of Genzen’s, and can even speak to him at times.
-Sealed: In its sealed state, Herutsuryoku takes the form of a nodachi, a katana that is more difficult to wield due to its size and weight. Being about four and a half feet long with over a foot of the length being the grip, Genzen wears the sword’s scabbard strapped across his back. The grip and scabbard are both brown.
-Shikai:
When Genzen assumes Shikai, a golden light brighter than the sun emanates from his sword and body, lasting for up to a post after he releases, during which his nodachi transforms into a bastard sword over five feet long.
-Bankai: Not yet...
Attacks
-Hisou Kousen=Flying Beam of Light: Genzen can fire up to eight spears of light from the tip of his sword. Each spear travels very quickly and can pierce like a sword, but can only be fired three seconds after the last one. The spears travel in a straight line, and can only be deflected by someone with 100 Attack more than Genzen. After he uses this ability, Genzen must wait a post for his sword to cool down before he can again use the ability. Every five successful hits will fuel Genzen’s rage and bump it up to the next Level automatically.
-Assai Kousen=Crushing Beam of Light: Genzen can form a pillar of golden light around his sword that extends ten feet long, and a foot wide. When created, he shines a beam of light out of his sword, which travels in a straight line and solidifies, all in a split-second, stopping or bending if it hits or reflects off of any objects along the way. This pillar will have no weight of its own, thus it can be swung with the same reflex and momentum as Genzen’s Shikai sword and it cannot cut or be cut, only doing bashing damage to what it hits. For every level of rage Genzen has amassed, the pillar will be two feet longer, the maximum being twenty feet long.
-Reiki Shirudo=Aura Guard: A hemisphere of golden light forms around Genzen, solidifying for three seconds and absorbing any attack during that period of time. The shield then explodes outwards with a power equal to the attacks it absorbed. The shield won’t be able to hold up if one of the attacks used against it is over 100 Attack stronger than Genzen’s Attack; it will shatter and the attack will go through. Each level of Rage Genzen has achieved will add a second onto the time he can shield, and the final level increases the time by three seconds, for a maximum of 10 seconds shielding.
-Hikari Kobakuha=Light Explosion: At any time after his Rage has started to build, Genzen can stick his Shikai into the ground and make it detonate from a distance, creating a massive Reiatsu-based explosion. The damage it causes is related to Genzen’s Rage Level, so at Level 1, the blast radius is about ten feet, and Level 5 would be fifty feet wide. Any materials within the blast radius less dense than metal will typically be melted, and besides some decent impact damage, any people will be blinded by the explosion, and their sight will take several posts to fully recover (1 post for every Rage Level Genzen has).
After the explosion, Genzen's Shikai will be disintegrated, and must reconstruct itself before he is to again use its powers. During this time, he is stuck in his inner realm, while his Zanpakuto spirit controls his body and fights for him. Herutsuryoku can create two Reiatsu-based nodachi to fight with, and 30 stats will be removed from his Attack and added to his Speed during the time the sword is reconstructing. It will take a number of posts to reassemble itself equal to his Rage Level before the blast, thus between one and five posts. When it finishes, Genzen will be in control again, and his Rage Levels will be reset back to zero, and must be regained.
-Koushigami=Photon Distortion: Simply put, Genzen’s ability to create light-based illusions around him. He doesn’t need to call out the name of this attack, he just visualizes an illusion in his mind, and light will be bent and reflected so that the illusion is seen by any looking. He can also make things invisible, though they will be invisible to Genzen as well. These illusions are, of course, immaterial; they cannot really do damage and physical objects will just pass through them (unless the illusion is built around something real); in addition Genzen will not be able to created illusions over objects moving rapidly. He has a weaker version on this attack when his Zanpakuto isn’t released, but it has a much smaller range, and requires more concentration on Genzen’s part.
Passive Abilities As he strikes at his enemies, every time his sword clashes with theirs or he lands a hit will make his sword heavier, increasing his Attack by 5 each time to a maximum of +25.
As Genzen takes damage or misses on his attacks, his frustration can turn to rage, which will empower his attacks.
L. 1 Rage: 5 missed attacks/hits taken
L. 2 Rage: 5 more
L. 3 Rage: 10 more
