Aizen Sōsuke [WIP]

Back to Basics//

Name: Aizen Sōsuke

Aliases: N/A

Age: Physical Age: 26; Chronological Age: 1460

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Himself

Appearance//

Height & Weight: 6'1", 163 lbs.

Hair & Eye Colour: Aizen's dark brown hair stops just below his shoulders, it's extended length a remnant of his Transcendence. Although he never uses product for his hair, it always appears to have been styled with a not-insubstantial amount of gel. A long strand of hair hangs down from the middle of his forehead which partially covers his left eye. Although Aizen's hair looks like it's been gelled, he has a great number of split ends, mostly due to the fact that his hair is naturally very wavy. Aizen's eyes are the exact same dark brown as his hair. If someone were to look directly into Aizen's eyes, despite whatever his current expression may be, they would get the impression that they were prey, being stared down by a starved falcon...

Description:
Spirit Form: Aizen stands at a respectable 6'1", but the heavy atmosphere that surrounds him makes it appear as though he towers over those shorter than him and stands equal with those taller. However, since the removal of the Hogyoku, Aizen has fallen ill and tends to hunch over slightly, dropping his height to 5'11". His skin has also become much paler since the final battle with Ichigo Kurosaki due both to his time spent in the Maggot's Nest and also because of his newfound illness. Aizen's long, dark brown hair always appears to have been blown back by the wind and stuck there by some incomprehensible miracle, although a long strand of hair hangs down from the center of his forehead. His body is very lean and appears to lack any kind of muscle mass at all, but that belies his massive physical strength even though that has also degraded due to the illness.

Due to the Hogyoku's influence, Aizen is not fully a Shinigami, nor is he a Hollow either. In his own words, he is a 'transcendent being' despite the fact that his new body is both highly unstable and very weak. The only way to 'cure' himself is to find a suitable replacement for the Hogyoku, or simply use the Hogyoku itself. Interestingly, there is a Hollow hole located where his solar plexus should be, the area that the Hogyoku had bonded itself with his body. Despite his body's physical weakness, his Reiatsu remains largely unaffected, although his ability to channel and direct his own Reiatsu has deteriorated, meaning that his Kidou are significantly weaker than they would have been previously. Another, minor side-effect of the illness is that Aizen's hands shake occasionally. While normally not an issue, it becomes a problem when doing activities such as drinking tea, drawing, engaging in a sword fight...

As Aizen no longer affiliates himself with the Espada, he no longer wears the Arrancar's uniform. Instead, he dons a black collared shirt and black dress pants. There is no particular reason for his choice of dress besides that fact that the alternative would be 'casual' clothing, something that Aizen has a distaste for.

Gigai: Interestingly, the Gigai that Aizen crafted for himself looks nothing like his spirit form, and for good reason. To hide his appearance, Aizen gave his Gigai a variety of traits differing from his own, such as short black hair, a height of 5'8", and dark purple nail polish. The Gigai wears a fur sweater, jeans, dark brown dress shoes, and a pair of glasses. However, he has been known to don a white lab coat in place of the sweater when appropriate. Aizen spends more time in his Gigai than out due to the fact that his illness is suppressed inside of the Gigai and it also allows his body to 'rest' and gather energy. One thing of note is that even though Aizen went through a great deal of trouble disguising the Gigai, the look in his eyes and the particular way he smiles means that anyone perceptive enough can make the connection between the two. Also of note is the fact that Aizen modified this Gigai personally; the efforts of his work being that he is capable of casting Kidou and use other Reiatsu skills while in the Gigai while simultaneously altering his Reiatsu signature, preventing it from being recognized as his own.

Under the Skin//

Likes:

• Tofu: The perfect sidedish to any meal. It tastes great and is wonderfully nutritious. Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever it is paired with, meaning that it is adaptable. Adaptation is a trait that Aizen values highly, even in his food.
  
  
• Tea: Delicious tea. Aizen's favorite kind of tea is White tea, although he also likes Green as well. Black tea is too bitter for his tastes.
  
  
• Calligraphy: The art of expressing ones self through writing. It's quite amazing what people can tell about you just from the way you curve your letters.
  
  
• Himself: A narcissist to the highest degree, Aizen believes himself to be above the concepts of God and Evil, a God unto himself. Of course, being defeated by Ichigo Kurosaki dented his ego considerably, but he still has great faith in his own abilities despite his failure.
  
  
• Humans: Although Aizen originally despised humans, being defeated by Ichigo served as irrefutable proof that humans could reach a level of power that even someone like Aizen could only dream of. Although his first reaction to Ichigo's overwhelming power was disbelief and anger, his time in the Maggot's Nest gave him the time he needed to reconsider his stance on humans. They were as mayflies and their entire life spawn was nearly non-existent when compared to Shinigami. However, that simply meant that they developed at an exponential rate and could easily overpower even Captain-class Shinigami in a matter of years or even months of training. Aizen realized that if he wanted revenge and to see his original plan to come to fruition, he must rely on the strength of humans to topple the Gotei 13...
  

Dislikes:

• Momo Hinamori: Trusting, energetic, friendly, irresponsible, relies on others...all truly detestable qualities. This girl literally has zero redeeming features. She can't even figure out how to die correctly. Worthless.
  
  
• Ichigo Kurosaki: A borderline case. Aizen is extremely interested in Ichigo and has followed his progress since he was born. Still, Aizen's defeat at the hands of Ichigo was completely unexpected and changed Ichigo's status from 'person of interest' to 'liability'. Whatever plans Aizen formerly had for Ichigo have been torn to shreds. Ichigo has already proven time and time again that any plan that he gets involved with will go horribly awry.
  
  
• Kisuke Urahara: The only man alive, in a manner of speaking, who can match wits with Aizen and come out unscathed. That alone would be enough for Urahara to gain Aizen's contempt, but as if that weren't enough, Urahara also successfully reproduced a Hogyoku whereas Aizen's attempt ended in failure, and Urahara played in instrumental role in Aizen's defeat.
  
  
• The Espada: Worthless. Aizen spent a great deal of time and energy creating the Espada and insuring that they had the capabilities of defeating the Gotei 13. Instead, the Espada were completely annihilated with the Shinigami forces suffering zero casualties. Their failure was so complete that Aizen was left with no choice but to look towards the human world for minions to enlist his next army.
  
  
• Crickets: See Zanpaktou Information.
  

Personality:



Biography//


Zanpakutō//A power within

Sealed Form:

Name: Tsukiyomi no Mikoto
Spirit Appearance: Aizen's Zanpaktou Spirit takes the form of a Tettigonia Viridissima, that is, a Great Green Bush Cricket. It's about two inches in length and a third of an inch in width.
Spirit Personality: It's difficult to ascribe a personality to a small insect which does not speak, but if one word was used to embody the malicious little being...that word would undoubtedly be sadistic.
Inner World: Kyoka Suigetsu's inner world is a realm of near complete darkness. The only source of light is a vastly oversized moon that hangs from above. The ground is a flat surface made of obsidian and covered in a thin layer of water.

Shikai Release Phrase: "Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."
Shikai Abilities: Allows 'Kanzen Saimin' to be used on anyone who has seen Kyoka Suigetsu's released state. Kanzen Saimin can be used at any point after the initial marking, even when Kyoka Suigetsu has yet to be activated.
Shikai Appearance: Kyoka Suigetsu's appearance is that of a normal sword. That is, it's appearance does not change when it is in Shikai state.
Shikai Techniques:

Name: Kanzen Saimin (Absolute Hypnosis)
Description: Controls the five senses to the point that it can make the target misinterpret another person's form, shape, mass, feel and smell to be that of the enemy. Those who cannot see are immune to the hypnosis due to being unable to see Kyoka Suigetsu's released state. Kyoka Suigetsu's Complete Hypnosis is absolutely flawless; even if the target is aware that they are under the hypnosis, they cannot resist its influence. Those with considerable power and skill themselves may be able to note slight differences in the illusions compared to the real thing, even if they are not able to determine what, precisely, is different. The only way to prevent falling under Aizen's spell is to grab Kyoka Suigetus before Kanzen Saimin is used. However, once trapped in an illusion, it will last until Aizen either breaks the spell or is killed.

Note: Aizen's Zanpaktou was destroyed in the final battle against Ichigo Kurosaki and he has been unable to reform it due to not being in tune with his Zanpaktou Spirit any longer.

RP Sample//
(This isn't nearly my best, but sadly the Final Fantasy site where I was Prof. Hojo closed down. God, I was such a great Hojo...anyway...)

Boar. Tiger. Boar. Tiger. Boar. Tiger.


The sequence of handseals for Shousen no Jutsu was permanently etched into Joshinki's mind. The basis of Medical Ninjutsu...and yet, it was the most important as well. Boar. Tiger. After preforming the pair of handseals, he clasped his hands together until they became coated in green chakra. After the jutsu was prepared, Joshinki pressed his hands against the bloodied side of the fox laying before him.

Most people treated predators as mere pests to be exterminated to extend their own comfort...but Joshinki couldn't help but feel that line of thought was wrong. Although, he had to admit his own bias- The only reason he'd become as skilled in Medical Ninjutsu as he had was because he practiced on the wounded animals he found.

When the fox's wounds finally closed enough that it's life was no longer in danger, Joshinki moved his hand near the fox's mouth to rub behind it's ears and the fox responded by licking his hand for a moment...before it's tail suddenly bushed up and it bit into his wrist. He pulled his hand back with a yelp of pain as the fox stood and ran past Joshinki into the heart of the forest. "Something must have spooked it...?"

After confirming that the bite wasn't infected, Joshinki started to stand when he heard a quiet rumbling sound. At first he thought it was the sound of distant thunder, but it steadily grew louder and louder until it was nearly deafening. Joshinki hadn't even had a chance to move before a stampede of animals rushed past, fleeing East...in the same direction the fox from earlier had gone. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end at the sight of the terrified animals, "Nothing good can come of this..."

Joshinki ran in the directions that the animals had fled from and continued until he reached a small cliff overlooking...something. He was unable to make out any features of the land below due to the dense mist obscuring his vision. He considered jumping down from the cliff and exploring the area, but the feeling of foreboding hadn't passed...

"Ye lest not be afraid."

Then the world ended. Well, not exactly, but Joshinki couldn't tell the difference. He'd been trying to figure out who- or what had spoken the words when the force of an explosion knocked him off his feet and sent him tumbling down the cliff's face. When he finally hit the ground, he glanced up weakly...and saw nothing but a gigantic crater less than a hundred yards from his current position. Even though the forest animals had already started to run, the area of destruction was so vast that the loss of life must have been staggering. He couldn't stop himself from swearing...but he couldn't stop to mourn either.

It took a few moments for Joshinki to collect himself, but after that was accomplished it only took him a second to locate the giant monster some seventy meters off. There was no doubt- It must have been the cause of the destruction. However, whatever it did was sure to have attracted attention. It was possible that a few Ninja or Samurai would appear to battle the creature. If it was so...then it was his duty to help. He was no good in battle, but if he could save even a single life... It occurred to him that assisting anyone in battling the monster may lead to it's death, and a life is a life...but then, he thought of what his Master had always told him whenever he insisted that any life was worth saving.

A Doctor must sometimes take one life in order to save many.

And with that, Joshinki ran in the direction of the monster, hoping that if anyone was locked in battle with the creature...that he wasn't too late...
