Shuuhei Hisagi

Hisa-Hisa, Shuu-Shuu(By Kizomaru's zanpakuto)

Unknown

23

Nine

Lieutenant.

5'11"

158lbs

He has a medium frame and a lean build; He's well toned yet not overly muscular, his appearance hides how strong he actually is. His hair is jet black and grown out past his neck to rest between his shoulder blades, it's medium length and shaggy in appearance but it's obviously well kept, styled similarly to when he was in the academy during his younger days with hair cascading around his face to reach his chin.

Perhaps his most distinguishing features are the three scars straight over his eye that lead down to his right cheek (gained during a past Hollow attack), the number "69" tattooed on his left cheek (inspired by Kensei Muguruma, who saved him from a Hollow when he was a young child), and a cobalt blue-striped tattoo running across his left cheek and over the bridge of his nose, presumably gained after obtaining the rank of lieutenant.

He wears a choker around his throat and matching armbands on both upper arms. These have explosive properties. His eyes are storm cloud gray. Hisagi wears a sleeveless shihakusho which, aside from the fact it's sleeveless, is fairly normal in appearance.

Lastly, on his left ring finger, he has a wedding ring tattoo. The tattoo is of a violet colored rose in full bloom whose stem wraps around the finger, he got this tattoo after proposing to Kizomaru who suggested the idea. The rose is violet in color because violet is Kizomaru's favorite color.

Shuuhei is an extremely mature and calm individual, a state that is slightly at odds with his somewhat punk-like appearance. He usually takes responsibility and tends to avoid violence when possible. He seems to be virtuous, much like his former captain's image; their views often coincide until it is revealed that Kaname Tōsen is a subordinate of Sōsuke Aizen.

His pacifistic nature is further displayed when he explains that he does not like the shape of his Zanpakutō's Shikai release, as it looks like something meant to "reap life itself". He also fears his sword's power, because to him, it is something of a sign of respect to battle for justice as well as a testament to the true strength of one's character. This philosophy is taught to him by his former captain, given the latter's "follow the path with the least bloodshed" creed, indicating a reasonable closeness between the two. It also seems that while battling, he becomes a darker person and seeks fear in his enemies while in battle.

Shuuhei is very protective of those he cares deeply for, sometimes bordering on overprotective, but he usually gets told when he's taking it too far. He'll do whatever it takes to keep his family and friends safe, even if it means giving up his life in the process.

It's known that Shuuhei is a creative person, he has written and published two stories in the Seireitei Communication called This Hand, That Hand, The Hand Over There and Goodbye To Yesterday's Me. He also had written an article called Teach me Shuuhei-sensei!! but was canceled due to unpopularity.

Three explosive bands he wears around his neck and both arms.

Name:Kazeshini

Sealed Form: In its sealed form, Shuuhei's sword looks like a regular katana with an octangular tsuba, the hilt is wrapped in cobalt blue cloth and the tsuba is gold in color. He most commonly carries it on his left hip.

Spirit:

Appearance:The spirit of Kazeshini takes the form of a thin yet well-toned dark man with long black hair, resembling a shadow, with dark grey strips of cloth wrapping around his lower body, arms, neck, and shoulders with matching boots similar to a jesters. The red outline around his body is also often seen to flicker.

Personality:As his appearance might suggest, Kazeshini is very violent, enjoying slashing up his opponents and being prone to rampages. It's theorized that Kazeshini is the manifestation of Shūhei's darker, more destructive feelings, formed from the stress of trying to suppress them. According to Shuuhei, Kazeshini loves to kill and once he finds a target, he will continue to hunt it until he kills it. However, he is shown to have a kinder side, as he took care of a little orphan baby when the baby's father is killed by a gang of hollow, until he found a woman with whom he could leave the child. Shuuhei will often tease him about it, which only angers the zanpakuto.

Inner World:His inner world is a vast black and white forest made of stone, one is able to stand on the tops of the trees. It's very monochrome, lacking truly any other colors. His inner world seems to follow a ying yang color scheme, representing his internal struggle between him and his zanpakuto(feelings of blood lust and desire to contain it).

Release Command:Reap

Description: When released, it takes the form of two Kusarigama-like weapons, each with two scythe blades, with one inverted, giving it the resemblance of a pinwheel. The blades are connected to a spiked rod tethered together by a long chain.While in Shikai form, Kazeshini can be swung by its chains in large circles, allowing the bladed portion to spin like a fan.

The chains are extendible, giving Shuuhei great ranged ability. Kazeshini can also be used for entangling an opponent's sword, or other weapons; It can even immobilize opponents. Although he dislikes the shape of his weapon, he is extremely proficient in wielding them; He uses them as projectiles and controls them at range by moving its chains, making Kazeshini's paths unpredictable.

type: Melee

techniques: Kubikake (Neck-Hanging): A physical technique that Shuuhei can use by throwing the chain of Kazeshini around the neck of an opponent, from here he can pull the chain hanging the opponent strangling or ensnare them knocking them off balance and bringing them toward him.

Approximately 100 years before the current story line, a young Shuuhei and several of his playmates fell prey to a Hollow attack in Rukongai. Luckily, it wasn't long until they were saved by Kensei Muguruma and the 9th Division. After defeating the Hollow, Kensei attempted to cheer Hisagi up (albeit with a slightly scary smile and demanding manner) and asked his name. This was when Hisagi saw Kensei's "69" tattoo on his chest and acquired the inspiration to get the same tattoo on his cheek.

Shuuhei was already a famous Shinigami even before becoming a seated officer. He began taking missions with the Gotei 13 when he was still a student of the Shinigami Academy. During his last year of study, Shuuhei and two of his classmates, Kanisawa and Aoga, were assigned to lead a field lesson on performing the Konso with Freshman Class One, the class which Renji Abarai, Izuru Kira, and Momo Hinamori were members of. All went well until the end of the lesson, when a group of huge Hollows took the class by surprise.

As both Kanisawa and Aoga were killed, Shuuhei ordered all of the freshmen to run and tried to fend off the hollows himself until help arrived. However, he was quickly overpowered, being wounded over his right eye, and would have been killed if Renji, Izuru, and Momo hadn't turned back to help. Fortunately, Captain Souke Aizen and Lieutenant Gin Ichimaru arrived in time to save them all. Kira mentioned that Shuuhei failed the entrance exam for the academy twice. However, his talent allowed him to become a seated officer in the Gotei 13 without having to pass additional tests in the end.

Shortly after attaining his position as a seated officer of the 9th Division he asked Tosen to meet him in a secluded area of Soul Society. Upon his arrival Shuuhei asked that Tosen remove him from his position as during field practice he couldn't effectively battle as he was scared. He explained that he has done similar drills in the real world and notes that his injured right eye was a direct result of one of those drills. He tells Tosen that ever since then he cannot settle himself every time he unsheathes his blade.

Tosen tells him that his feelings of fear are the very reason he should strive to become a seated officer, as power shouldn't matter to a soldier but knowing his own limitations should. It is Shuuhei's fear that allows him to hold his blade for those who share the same fear. Tosen further explains that a man that does not fear his own blade has no business removing it from his sheath. He tells Hisagi that if the thought of engaging an opponent on the battlefield truly terrifies him to his very core then he is a true soldier and within his possession he has something that is priceless and after that, Shuuhei was inspired because of what Tosen said.

Twenty years ago, while out shopping in Inuzuri, he met his now wife Kizomaru while out shopping. The two seemed to hit it off, chatting as they both continued their shopping trip, however he didn't know just how much this woman would end up changing his life. They spoke frequently, either due to Kizomaru being invited out to join he, Izuru and Rangiku at the bar by Rangiku herself, or for other reasons which she more than likely made up as an excuse to see him.

Two weeks after Aizen, Tousen and Gin betrayed the Soul Society, when he and Izuru were invited out by Rangiku(Kizomaru had been unable to come due to needing to catch up on work) for drinks something happened that night that Shuuhei had always hoped for, yet not in the exact manner it went down.

Izuru had left early, due to the copious amounts of work he had to do in the absence of his captain, but Shuuhei had stayed behind; both he and Rangiku continued drinking until something happened(neither can remember what) that lead to the two kissing, from there the two had decided to try out a relationship.

Much to Shuuhei's dismay, the relationship ended a month after it had started due to differences that the two could not settle; despite this though he was still upset about it and was in a state of gloom for a good week, during which he would bury himself in his work and go out to the bar and get completely wasted in hopes of drowning his pain.

During the last day of that week, Kizomaru had decided to check on Shuuhei, who she had been trying to avoid during the entire duration of his and Rangiku's short lived relationship due to her intense feelings of jealousy and depression, and found him exiting the bar drunk to the point where he had issues walking home. When they arrived outside his door Shuuhei had tripped and fell into Kizomaru, which resulted in the two of them sharing an accidental kiss; it was in that moment that something in him had gone off.

Two months after the betrayal, Kizomaru had joined him in his office on one of her free days to assist him with his paper work, when during a conversation she had confessed her feelings to him; He was shocked, but it shocked her even more when he said he returned her feelings. Explaining that the week after his relationship with Rangiku ended,when she had helped him home and they shared that drunken kiss, he had realized his feelings for her. The two managed to make time for each other throughout the chaos; it wasn't until after the war that they were able to more actively date and, after a short period of that the two engaged and married sometime that November.

Now granted such a short time of serious dating before marriage could be considered rushed but the two had known each other for years before, not to mention the on and off dating before the Winter War; so it made sense to them, especially with how quickly the two seemed to fall for each other romantically. After the two had married, they filed for permission to start a family and it was granted. In February the following year came the news that Kizo was pregnant; though the pregnancy was rough on them both emotionally and on Kizo physically the two managed. They were soon elated when Kizo gave birth to twin children in October the following year.

When the kids were old enough to walk, about seven months, the two of them got away from their babysitter, who had turned their back for just a second while taking the kids for a walk, and the twins followed a Hell Butterfly into a group of unseated officers who didn't seem to notice the kids. The babysitter had turned around just in time to see them running off and chase after them but it was too late, before they knew it they had all gotten stuck in the Dangai.

Kizo and Shuuhei realized something was wrong and alerted their captains, who then alerted the Head Captain who from there ordered for a search party to be sent out. They did not end up finding them till three days after they had gone missing, and while they were alive, they had aged rapidly to the point of becoming young adults. Kizo and Shuuhei were relieved, especially when the rapid aging caused no real harm to their kids, and then set out to train them more from what basic training their babysitter had taught them while trapped those three days.

Shuuhei had nodded and noted all the information in yet another Hell Butterfly and sent it out to his group in the Outskirts, he then tried to dial Kizomaru's number but it came back saying her phone was off; it gave him a bad feeling but he assumed he was being paranoid and safely guessed that perhaps it had died, things had been a little hectic at home so it was highly possible she forgot to charge it. This is what logic told him, his gut however did not like that she was unreachable one bit, it frightened him a little bit but he reassured himself of her strength and forced himself to be calm, after all he had many reasons why he could not let his anxiety leak.

"They have been informed, however my lieutenant's phone seems to be down for the moment, but I'm confident she will handle things well." When he spoke it sounded more like he was assuring himself and not speaking to the man before him, he could not get over the troubling feeling he had in the pit of his stomach. Now, he had been about to say more, but before he could utter another word the soft sound of crying could be heard; the sound of a child, and to Shuuhei's relief it was just one.

"One moment." He politely spoke, then he slowly and carefully spun his chair around to one of the small bassinets he had by his desk and reached in to pick up a little baby girl, it seems they might have been a little too loud in their conversation and woken the small girl from her nap; Shuuhei cradled her gently in his arms and rocked her a little bit, the little girl, Kazue, did this often and he knew this would ease her back to rest, this and quietly humming a tune.

Within five minutes the little girl was sleeping once more, but he knew she would wake again and with more of a vengeance as when she woke next it would be feeding time. Carefully he turned back to the bassinets and laid her inside, covering her with the pink blanket and making sure she was indeed asleep before he next spoke.

"Sorry about that." Shuuhei chuckled softly, any unease he had been feeling melted when he held the child, almost instinctively burying it so that it did not disturb her."You will have to go inform the Head Captain in person, right now I cannot get away to do so myself." He told Kakashei, his tone was firm but for the sake of his sleeping children it was quiet as well, yet still held a sense of authority in it's tone. He kept shifting his gaze from the captain to his children, then to his phone, lost in thought and a deep feeling that he couldn't shake, one that told him something was seriously wrong.
