Name: Kyoraku Shunsui
Age:2500
Appearance:
The black and white photo, while displaying his general scruffy but handsome demeanor, does little to show the quirks of his clothing. He wears standard Shinigami robes, and a long sleeved white haori like other senior captains. However, over this he wears a cheap women's kimono of a pale pink, and in his long, curly ponytail he has a pair of small, yet expensive pinwheels.
Personality: Kyoraku's personality is can be clearly seen in his style of dress; he's laid back and flamboyant, preferring to talk things out peaceably rather than fighting. He loves to drink sake and take long naps, both clearly traits a Shinigami Captain shouldn't have.
However, he always had a way of knowing exactly what was at the heart of the matter. Beneath that calm, smiling demeanor lies a steel and resolve that few ever get a chance to witness.
Race: Shinigami
Rank: Captain Commander
Zanpaktou: Katen Kyokotsu is one of the few twin zanpakutos, and the only one that physically exists as a daisho--a katana and wakizashi pair.
Shikai: "When the flower wind rages, the flower god roars. The wind of heaven rages, the god of the underworld sneers."
In it's Shikai form, Katen Kyokotsu physically transforms into a pair of falchions. It's skills largely consist of wind manipulation.
Bankai: Unknown.
History: As the second son of a prestigous family in the Seireitei, there was never really much that was expected out of Shunsui. He was lazy, and a bit of a playboy. Because of this, he was unwillingly sent to the Shin'ou Reijutsu Academy. Other than his becoming fast friends with Jushiro Ukitake, not much else is known about this part of his life.
During the whole Hogyoku incident in Seireitei, where Rukia was sentenced to execution and several ryoka came from the Human World to save her, Shunsui was among the few to question the judgement of the counsel. He took the side of Jushiro, Rukia's captain, and didn't care about the inevitable consequences his actions garnered.
In the war that followed he temporarily laid aside his peace-loving ways and fought just as hard as the rest of the Shinigami. They won, and life moved on.
Eventually, his best friend and often partner Jushiro succumbed to his life long ailment of Tuberculosis, and Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai died of old age. Shunsui Kyoraku, as the Shinigami with the most seniority and one of Yamamoto's favorite pupils, was the first in line to become the next Captain Commander of the Gotei 13. He stepped into his new position as gracefully as he stepped into anything, and accepted the many responsibilities that the title had placed upon him.
