Name: Byakuya Kuchiki
Age: 242
Character Alignment: Nuetral
Character Ability: Speed and Precision. Byakuya is second in speed only to Kizand but has flawless precision making him a deadly opponent in close range. He never misses his mark and always tries to speed blitz his enemy
Gender: Male
Appearance: Byakuya has slate gray eyes and long black hair, which he keeps up in intricate white headpieces called kenseikan, which symbolize his nobility as the head of the Kuchiki Clan, wearing one on top of his head and another two on the right side. In addition to the standard captain uniform, he wears a white scarf, which is woven by the master weaver Tsujishirō Kuroemon III. The scarf is made from silver-white, windflower light silk (ginpaku kazahana no uzuginu) and is a family heirloom, having been handed down from generation to generation and given to each head of the Kuchiki Clan. The scarf alone is worth ten mansions in the Seireitei. He wears fingerless white tekkō which only cover the back of his hands.
Personality: As head of the Kuchiki clan, Byakuya acts in an aristocratic manner. He always seems serene and apathetic towards other people, even while actually deeply conflicted. He is also notably calm, even in battle. He generally acts indifferent, bordering on arrogance, to most situations that he is faced with as shown from how he rarely views his opponent as being worth his time. Byakuya is easily offended if his name is not used properly. As such, he views many people in disdain for always referring to him improperly. When Byakuya talks to people, he calls them by their full name. Byakuya is very perceptive and is fully aware of the limits of his abilities and usually anything he states in comparison to an opponent is justified. However, when he was younger, he was quick to anger and very hot-headed, as noted by his grandfather.
Byakuya strongly believes in law and order. As part of one of the great noble families, he works hard for a peaceful society. He feels that if someone in his position does not follow the rules as a good example, no one else will. He also believes that to maintain the order, all law-breakers must be punished, even if it goes against his own wishes. Byakuya feels that "part of a leaders's responsibilities are to make sure the subordinate's responsibilities are taken care of". In spite of his icy and regal manner, Byakuya cares for and protects those important to him. After the events of the Uchiha incident, he admitted that law isn't perfect and became more lenient towards people.
Hollow Mask Appearance:(Vizard Only)
Background: Byakuya was born into the Kuchiki Clan, and grew up in the Kuchiki Mansion in Seireitei. He would spend countless hours training, preparing to take over the leadership of the Kuchiki family.
A friend would often visit the Kuchiki Manor to play a game of tag with Byakuya. On one such occasion, approximately 110 years ago, she is presented to a training Byakuya by his grandfather, Ginrei Kuchiki. Upon seeing her, he attacked and insulted her. The friend playfully teased him, complaining about his greeting after coming all the way there to see him. Byakuya, expressing his displeasure at seeing her, stated he would be the head of the Kuchiki Clan soon enough, so he had no time to waste on her. Stealing his hair tie, she exclaimed that if the head of the Kuchiki Clan could get his hair tie stolen by a girl at play, she is worried about its future. She used Shunpo to escape from him, leaving an angry Byakuya, claiming his superiority, promising to make her see the error of her ways.
110 years later Byakuya entered the SoulSociety in hopes of becoming apart of the Gotei 13. He is fully devoted in proving himself to become a captain. Upon entering where the 13 Captains meet he ran into Venuren Kizand the 8th Squad Captain. Kizand challenged Byakuya to a race in which Byakuya lost by a few feet. Kizand complimented Byakuya on keeping up with 80% of his true speed. Byakuya angered that there was someone else faster than him named Kizand his rival from that day on.
Zanpakuto's Name: Senbonzakura
Zanpakuto's Appearance: Senbonzakura is a regular katana. It has a simple cross guard, with an open frame much like a four-pane window. It has a bronze guard, with lavender hilt-wrapping, and a white sheath.
Zanpakuto's Inner Spirit Appearance: Japan
Zanpakuto's Inner World: 12th Century Japan
Zanpakuto's Personality: Much like his master, he is portrayed as serious, prideful, and uninterested in small-talk. However, unlike Byakuya, he has occasional emotional outbursts and can be rather impatient. According to Captains Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake, this is likely a reflection of Byakuya's inner nature from his younger years. Senbonzakura is more cheerful and humble, willing to relax and enjoy partying, even to the point of passing out from too much drinking. He tends to keep his mask on at all times, even while taking a bath, and he also has a spare mask at hand, should his current one break.
Zanpakuto Abilities:
Shikai: It is triggered by the command "Scatter"
Shikai Special Ability: In its Shikai, Senbonzakura's blade separates into a thousand tiny, slender blade fragments, which fly away from the hilt, leaving only the sword's handle in Byakuya's hand. If the release completes itself, Senbonzakura is rendered near unstoppable. While the blades are supposedly too small to be seen normally, they reflect light in such a way as to resemble cherry blossom petals. By swinging Senbonzakura's hilt, Byakuya can control the blade fragments, allowing him to shred opponents at a distance and break through almost any defense. The blades can be used for defensive purposes, as they can protect Byakuya from an incoming sword swing. In order to protect Byakuya from his own attacks in both Shikai and Bankai, Senbonzakura possesses a Hurtless Area where it does not cut anything within 85 cm of Byakuya unless he himself allows the blades to enter the area.Byakuya can increase the speed of the blade fragments with his hands to keep up with higher speeds.
