gender: Male
rank: Captain
division: 2nd
appearance: Close up

Gigai
Kousetsu is someone with a strange appearance even among shinigamis. One of the main reasons why is because of the fact that he has some animal traits. The one that is most noticeable though is his wolf tail. The tail goes down near his shoes even. It's just about a feet or two so that he doesn't step on it. Another animal like trait that he has is the fact that he has claws almost like a wolf. This tends to make him be careful when he is touching paperwork to tapping on the table with his finger.
He is a captain that rarely ever wears his captain uniform calling it dull to him. He tends to wear something a little more complicated and white. Wearing white pants with a black belt around his waist he puts on a white shirt with some interlacing of black. He also wears hand sleeves to put on as it's on article of clothing because of his red scarf. The sleeves though are quite loosely tied around his arm revealing some of his skin. His scarf is long and goes down to wear his tails ends. On the scarf are two Xs with dots are where the end points are. Not matter what he wears, the one thing that he always have is that scarf of his.
Being medium size he is about 6'5 with a light tone skin. His eyes being narrowed and bloody red making him look quite evil. He also wears glasses that have sharp ends so that he can play around with it using his claws. His hair is strangely layered as it spread apart at the bottom. It would goes down passing his neck a little if the hair doesn't curve at the end.
The hair is platinum blond making him stand out so when he is in his gigai form, he has pretty long hair to the point where all of the strands goes past his eyes. His hair style is not exactly normal either because of how the front goes to different sides. His eyes are abnormally red because he has a liking to red eyes. Because of this though, he usually wears sunglasses unless he is at work. Usually his eyes are normal shape but when he is on a hunt for a hollow in his gigai then his eyes are just like ones of a wolf. His attire always changes from one thing to another to make sure that he looks normal but the one thing he always have is that he wears gloves. The reason why is because, his claws are also visible in his gigai form. This can work both ways for him though, one is that he can fight weak hollows in his gigai form and allow him to climb easily. The bad thing though, is that he has to make sure no one notices him doing this.
zanpakutō: Hanako
Hanako
A strange spirit dressing up in what seems like a cowboy maid outfit. Just like him she has some animal parts, but she hides it unless she is angry. Her hair is blond and is short none of the strands passing her shoulders even. She has two dragon ears that some would think is a headdress if they don't look closely. Her shirt with black and white except for the pink ribbon at the collar. The middle of her shirt has four yellow buttons and around her waists are guns. Easily angered, she loves to pick a fight with anyone really, especially Kousetsu. She hates waiting, and simply wants to fight as it's the only thing she knows to do. Acting young for what she appears to be, the shinigami treats her like a little sister. Strange, oblivious to him, she actually has a crush on him.
The inner world of his Zanpakutō: is an icy mountain. At the top of the mountain is a hole where Hanako lives in. The place is for only two people. Whenever Hanako is happy or calm, the place would snow almost like a winter wonderland but when she is angry,sad or hurt then the place would have a blizzard. Also she would be trapped within ice as she doesn't want to talk to anyone. Inside the hole is simply snow, snow, and even more snow. There is nothing making it quite roomy. Rarely does he ever go inside the inner world as Hanako always comes to him instead.
shikai:
In the shikai form the Zanpakutō: takes in a form of two guns. To be exact they are handguns except for one thing. There is no ammo in them as the ammo is formed from his reitsu. The guns are beautifully crafted with the handle being black with a red Asian dragon trying to rise to the top of the handle. The gun itself having Hanako's tail when she is angry engraved.
Snipe:An ability that Kousetsu uses when shooting far away. By using his reitsu, and his senses of a wolf he can see much farther than human shinigamis can and thus he snipe people with his handguns from far away as if he was using a sniper.
Storm Waltz: This is one of the strangest moves that the shinigami most likely have. This is not really a power but more of a technique for guns that he had developed. He uses this when he misses a shot as he doesn’t like to waste his shots since the ammo are his own spiritual energy. Unlike most ammo of a real gun, since his ammo is from his spirit like himself then it can reflect whenever there is something to act as a mirror. By throwing coins he can simply have his reitsu be reflected moving the fast pace ammo around.
Akai doragon:First he has to charge up his spirit powers though. Right after that he sends it into his guns and shoot multiple shots at the same time.He can shoot up to 600 shots from each gun at the same time. The only problem with this is that it takes a long time to charge and that it is more of a rapid fire so the aiming isn't as good nor is the power.
Kaze: One that would seem small to some is actually quite effective. Using his reitsu and that his shikai depends on wind he can make an invisible wind to slice the opponent so that even if he missed, he still have a second chance with the wind that he control around his bullet with his reitsu.
bankai:
His bankai is unlike most shinigami different from his shikai. Instead of having two handguns, he has wind and fire wheels instead. The style it is made isn't like what most are. The handle isn't connected by two sides but instead five with five holes for his fingers to get a good grip on it. Also the blade as four parts of it extended for farther range letting him easily change from far distance to close distance.
Kaze: Just like the ability with his gun he can use the wind to slice his opponent up by using the wind and fire wheels to create the wind and as a distraction to the target's eyes.
Yuki: An ability where Kousetsu can freeze whatever part of the body that his weapon touches, especially the skin in order to slow down the movement. It can also be combined with Kaze for a farther range when needed.
Regression: One of the strangest ability for a Bankai but effective. This is where the wind and fire wheels with transform halfway into the shikai. It still has the form of his wind and fire wheels but the difference is that where there are four spots where there is an opening between the extended parts of a wind and fire wheels to have a small hole. The hole is used as his shikai in its gun form allowing him to shoot just like his shikai. It has all the ability of his shikai but unlike the shikai there is no trigger so he uses his retisu as a trigger.
kidō:
Shunpo: A kido that sends reitsu into the users feet they can reach a short distance in a blink of an eye.
Binding
58. Summoning of the Tracking Sparrows-By drawing characters onto the user's body they can send sparrows to track and locate the reitsu that the user focuses on.
81. Splitting Void:Creates a barrier that is strong enough to stop a destruction spell all the way up to number 89.
"I'm not using them, they offered."
personality: Intelligent, he knows many things about the three worlds then most shinigamis. He's also good at calculations, especially in battle. A great strategist and tactician he can easily come up with plans when under pressure. Also he has a photographic memory so after seeing an attack he can think of ways to counter it quicker than most. The only problem with a photographic memory is that you have to be able to see the attack. Being clever he usually gets others to do his work for him when it comes to paperwork or anything that falls under the category of boring to him. He also knows that girl shinigamis thinks that his wolf tail is cute and so he uses that to his advantages many times through getting them to do his work for him and maybe even buying stuff for him.
Strangely, although Kosetusu is intelligent, he is very laid back. Always spending his time making others do his work rather than using his brain to gain information that could be useful. Almost like a child, he goes to his secrete hideout in Karakura town in which he would simply hide in and do whatever he wants to do. Most of the time that would be drinking tea. reading manga or listening to music. Most shinigamis tends to look down on him for this aspect and challenge him for his spot only to learn that he is tougher than he looks. Most of them barely makes it through his shikai. Some thinks because of his smiling personality, he is very uncanny to Gin and for that they suspect him. He doesn't mind it though and sometimes say that his dream is to destroy Karakura town and then kill all shinigamis.
Another trait he has is that he is a pacifist. It isn't because he doesn't believe in fighting but rather he doesn't want to waste his energy. Also, he finds it easier to make strategies and analyze people when he is watching. To his misfortune though, Hanako is one that loves to fight and yells at him whenever he passes the chance. Rarely does he ever listen to her yelling though and had learn how to ignore her quite easily. The main reason why he doesn't fight though is because all of his opponent are predictable with their strategy and moves that is doesn't make fighting fun to him anymore. Instead, he finds it getting more and more boring but when he sense someone who is strong then he will gladly battle the person.
Most of the time when he is in the shrine where it is quiet and where people would least suspect him because many people hiding there. Using reverse psychology he knows that they'll think he'll be hiding somewhere in the open so they would never suspect him instead of a small closed space of a shrine. Another reason why he spends his time at the temple was because his mother was a miko and he was quite attached to her. So he finds himself going to the shrine a lot and reflect on his human past. He would remember all of the spells his mother had cast all of the rituals and how many people in the family was amazed with her. The shrine when he is alone is probably the only time when you ever see him in solemn silence and actually quite mature like.
Still, he can be quite the philosopher and is very good at helping people out because he had seen many problems when he was alive and had always helped people in whatever way he can. Only three people know about this side of him though and that is himself,Hanako and his vice-captain. He is very good at telling what people are thinking also and that helps him get information from prisoners quite easily. No one except for himself and Hanako knows how he can get the prisoners to willingly talk so far but he has his ways. He can pretty much make people talk easily and give out information out of fear as in the prison room, people say that they can hear screams before they confess. The reason why he is good at this is because he knows the human mind very well because he is a philosopher.
Very patient he will try to explain to people what he means no matter how long it takes. Well actually he does have a limit but it is quite high compare to most shinigamis. This might have to do with the fact that he is a pacifist and he knows that in order to use people to fight for him they have to be able to understand what he is trying to get around to. He is quite understanding about people not being able to understand his ideals or not trust him but he never truly get angry about that or at least he never shows it on the outside anyway. There are times when he does get impatient and has a face slap or something but rarely does that ever happen.
Although he understands many things about the human minds they are actually only simple emotions such as sadness, happiness, fear, and anger. He doesn't understand things such as like and hating the person at the same time, denial, confusion or love so he is very oblivious to these emotions. He simply doesn't understand it since he is someone who goes one is one, two is two and it is as simply as that to him. He doesn't understand the complicated feelings of humans or anything like that because of his death at a young age. There are many things strange when it comes to how smart he is about people but at the same time clueless. He doesn't really try to study these complicated emotions feeling that if he does then he might find out the one thing he doesn't want to find out and that is the reason why his mother died.
Kousetsu is a ladies man and love to date people whether it is shinigamis, humans or quincies. He never really cares at all as long as they pass his conditions which is being pretty, useful, easily manipulated and simple. So in other words, he doesn't date because he thinks the girls is very cute but rather useful in whatever way they can be used for. He never really cared what the girls feel and is actually very good at using them without hurting them at the same time. To male shinigamis though, it isn't a good thing as he does date their girlfriend and as earn himself the title of being the woman stealer as he had dated a great amount of girls whether they are dating someone else or not. Of course if someone rejects him he does go ahead and let them go knowing that they are others with her level of use, sure it isn't exact but it is still good enough.
Like most captains he cares for his subordinates and will protect them in whatever way he can. He doesn't care if it hurts him really since he never view himself as anyone that is important to others. He really does try to take care of his subordinates which is why he usually sent his vice-captain with whoever he sent and when he is on a mission he is usually alone. He finds it easier to work alone because of the fact that he doesn't want others to die in front of him or get hurt because of him. He doesn't really talk to his own squad much and is quite distance from him making many of his own subordinates wonder about who he really is. The only one that he spends a lot of time with is his vice-captain and that is it. The only reason why he talks to the person though is because of the fact that the two are usually in the same room. Even then though he rarely ever show his true self to the person.
Very clever he can think of ways to get himself our of trouble very easily. He easily find loop holes in deals and this part is taken out of the part that he can quickly analyze people's attack patterns and strategies along with their moves. It is also one of the things that let him manipulate people easily. He loves being able to trick people like that. It is also how he can get information with the prisoners as he always knows how to let them think that they got their way when they are not even close to it. This makes some of think that he is very cruel but he never really did know if it is cruel or not since they were prisoners after all.
His relationships with Hanako is brotherly-sisterly like on his side as he always makes her happy but at the same time teaches her morals and tries to make her more friendly even if he is the only one who could talk to her. He also takes care of her and tries to make sure that no one would hurt her so that she can always be happy. The reason why is because of the one time when he saw her sad when he accidentally hurt her one day. He had regretted that day and so he wants to make sure that the day would never come back. So far though it looks like she doesn't remember it so he is fine with that. Strangely though he doesn't know that she has a crush on him and so he doesn't notice the obvious hints of her wanting to be with him. This sometimes makes her flustered and him simply confused.
Like everyone else he has his own set of fears which for him in this case is feeling powerless like when he was young. He hated that feelings and never want it to come back again which is why he works alone so that way he can never see someone getting hurt in order to protect him and knowing that he can't save them no matter how much he tries. He also has a strange fear for shinigamis and this might possibly have to do with the fact that when he was alive his guardian animal was a wolf but he has a fear of dog whistles because of the fact that it is so high pitch. Luckily only Hanako and he know this and so no one can use it against him in order to make him look normal.
Even though he is very intelligent, he looks down on himself for all of his weaknesses. He hates himself because of what he couldn't do when he was alive. He looks down for himself because he has done it many times even though it is unconsciously. When he is about to be hurt he is almost like a rose. He has thorns that hurts others who try to get close to him in order to protect himself. He has made people sad before because he doesn't want to get close to people. He doesn't know why but whenever someone tries to get close to him he always finds himself trying his best to cut the bonds and run away so that he doesn't get hurt later on for whatever reasons. Also, seeing that he is a captain he can't favor anyone over the rest.
The captain has many things that he likes including, sweets, drinks, food, dogs, and many other kind of animals. Pretty much anything can be something he likes because of how carefree and simple he is. One of the things he love the most is manga and anime though because he can study character's attacks and it practices him analyzing people in real life. For some reasons though he attracts dogs and wolves possibly because of the fact that he is part animal even if he is in his gigai. Things he hate would have to be work, when Hanako yells at him to fight, when he has to fight a needless battle wasting his energy and cats. The reasons why he hates cats might have to do with the fact that he is part wolf and so he has some wolf characteristics in his personality.
His fighting style relies on countering his opponent and so he rarely does the first move when he is using his shikai. Having range is important to him because of the fact that he uses a gun. Still because of his dual gun he is great at using them for close range and fire at close range while defending at the same time which is why most shinigamis that challenge him for his rank loses. He tends to rather end the battle quickly so that he can get on and do what he wanted to do. When he is using his bankai though, he battles close range and far range but this time speed is the main factor because he has to make sure that he catches his opponent when they let down their guard.
The strangest trait about the shinigami would have to be the fact that he doesn't like people touching him. That is why on dates when someone tries to kiss him or even touch his hand he always tries to find an excuse on how to get away from it. The only time when someone touch him is in battle when they land a punch or kick but that was it. No one had ever touched him outside of battle. He doesn't even comfort them by letting them cry on his shoulders when they are sad. He simply makes up whatever excuses that comes up first in his mind. The reason why he doesn't want others touching him is because he knows that it would means that they like each other and he doesn't want that. He just wants to be alone so that he can't hurt anyone and no one can hurt him.
history: Kousetsu was born in a family of mikos and had spiritual powers. He was born with Sumeragi Setsuka as his mother and his father who died before his birth was Ookami Ryo. Everyone in the Sumeragi had a guardian animal and his was the wolf. Being born without a dad, he never got to understand what it is like to have both parents. Still he heard a lot of stories about his dad and had wanted to know more and more about him. Every night his mother would tell him a story about his father and he would always listen to her trying to learn whatever he can from the stories. They never satisfied him to learn more about his father as all he knew wast that his father was gone. At the age of four though he started to hate his father when he heard stories from his distant aunts about how he broke her heart. The one thing that he never know about his father was that the man was dead. He was simply told that his father left on a journey to help others with his spiritual powers.
When he was six he was allowed to see his mother work with her spells. The boy was interested and wanted to know more about his family. He also wanted to start helping people like how his mom did but he wasn't allowed to. He was going to be the next head of the family and so they always kept an eye on him. He was trained to become a great onmyōji like his mother and so he never really had friends. Instead he was force to practice and practice on spells. He was limited on what spells he can do and he hated all of that. He wondered how his mom was able to pull it off when she was his age. The only times when he had freedom was school but he didn't make any friends there because they thought that it would distract him. The other one was when he is with his mom because she was the head and knew what she was doing. There was a few time when the jobs are easy that he was allowed to practice in real life situations.
His schedule was also very strange when compared to others. He had to wake up at six in the morning and didn't sleep then eleven in the night. When he wakes up he had to cleanse himself and whenever he eats before he practice was all vegetables. The only time when he was allowed to eat meat was in the morning because ghosts don't tend to attack during the morning. He would go to school, go home do his homework, have an hour rest and then is forced to practice spells. After that he would go with his mother to see how she does things. Then he would go home, practice a little more, force to read about spells and then he was allowed to sleep. The next morning, he wakes up and do the whole thing all over again. No kid liked that schedule at all but because they saw potential in him seeing that he had two spiritual family blood and that his spirit was a wolf which is the meaning of the family name.
Going to school and never having any friends always made him hated the place. The reason why he didn't have friends though was because of his strange hair color and the fact that he was sometimes seen in a ceremonial dress back then. After all, during that time, even if spirits were a big thing, they were starting to slow down. People started believing in their current technology rather than a family that can hunt spirits that most can't even see.
One day when he was eight though a girl came up to him. She stated that she just moved here and he seemed lonely so she was going to play with him. On that day they promised to meet each other in front of the place the shrine of his family. When he came home that day the family was amazed on how happy he was that they couldn't help but wondered what happened. He simply replied that he had finally made his first friend and that they were going to see each other on that day in front of the shrine.
Half an hour before Kousetsu was to meet the girl he was attacked by a hollow. His mother was fighting it in order to protect him while fear had frozen him in his mind. He felt like he couldn't move and then the mask broke. It revealed a man that looked similar to the boy. He didn't understand what was going on and his mother stopped. She simply couldn't believe it. Although it was only in a few seconds it felt like minutes. Every grain of sand counted and his mother was killed by the hollow. As she was stabbed she simply whispered her husbands full name. Coming into shock and how his father had killed his mother he tried to kill the hollow only to die. As his body fell down like a doll the last thing he saw was the girl running up to him. Needless to say, she had also died that day. The next day the officers came to see three people dead by unknown cause as there was no way those stabs can be done with a sword or knife.
When he woke up he barely had any memories of his death. The only things he remembered was his mother dying by the hands of a monster, him dying too and seeing the girl who wanted to be his friend die right in front of him. Having no idea what was going on or who to ask he was forced to learn how to steal to survive. Every money counted, every little grain of food was everything to him as he needed to live. Eventually though he had stopped stealing as more bits of memories came to him. They weren't much though, they were simply his daily routine when he was still alive. From observing that though he knew how humans reacted. So he was able to manipulate people, mainly adults with his little wolf tail and body. They would pay and make whatever he ate and for that he was happy. Life was simply and he could get used to it quite easily. Eventually though he had learned about shinigamis and other races.
Soon, he was selected to enter the academy because of his living self's history and upbringing. In school though he didn't have that many friends and mainly stayed away from people. He didn't want to see them get hurt because of him or feeling powerless again. He had always blamed himself for his mother's and that girls' death. Ever since then he decided that if he doesn't come close to people, they can never get hurt because of him, he can never feel powerless and that they would never hurt him. Having no friends let him train more than most of the students and so he can pretty well in all of his grades except for history, theories and kido classes. The main reason why was because he didn't do homework but was able to pass all of the tests with ease. For kido though was for some reason he couldn't do destruction spells and only binding spells. He didn't care much though since he was only being a shinigami so he can have something to do in his spare time.
Like every other shinigamis he was able to release his shikai which took shape in a form of two handguns. They didn't understood why it took a shape of two guns as those weapons weren't invented when he was alive but still they didn't question him. He was the first shinigami to have his shikai take a shape of guns though making many wonder why. After obtaining his shikai, he was sent off to go under the tenth division.He never came close to getting anything to get out of being an unseated shinigami because he didn't do his paperwork. He didn't care though because, he had no inspiration. In battle though he was talented making some wondered if he should had join the eleventh division.
During the war he fought and almost died even. As he was on the brink of death, he saw a girl. She reminded him of the girl that he met when he was alive. During that time they were covered in soft snow. He didn't understand what was going on at all. As she introduced herself as Hanako and told him about what was going on he saw this and let her get to know him. Right after that, he noticed himself in battle once again but his guns were gone and the only thing he had were wind and fire wheels. They were easy to use though and he survived the battle. Eventually though the hollows retreated and some kind of wall was formed. It was obviously a barrier but it's reitsu was strong and it wasn't any kind of kido that he had heard about. It was not till a week later that he had learned it was a barrier created by Ichigo and his friends. Hearing about his reminded him of his mother and so he decided to become captain knowing that no barrier can last forever.
During his training one day though Kousetsu saw Hanako again and the two talked. When she tried to hug him telling him that she was sad about how he didn't have friends, instinctively he shoved her away. When that happened she cried and locked herself up in the inner world. Seeing this, he felt guilty and came in and eventually the two became friends and she was allowed to hug him. Ever since that day he didn't want her to be sad again when it was his fault.No one but those two knew about it. The one thing he didn't know though was that on that day Hanako started developing feelings for him.
Eventually when the barrier started to weaken he became the captain of the second division and started acting serious. He still doesn't let people get close to him though and rather avoid them. The only person that he came close to was Hanako and so the two promised that they were going to protect Kousetsu. It was when he became captain he knew that he had to hide more of his emotions so he started to be more carefree and a ladies man so that no one would know what his weakness is or his past.
