Shinigami
________________________________________
General Info
Name: Kubi
Gendermale
Age: 98 Years but appears to be 11.
Division: Thirteenth Division
Rank: Affiliate (Class three strength)
Physical Description:
Kubi stands at 4’9 and weighs about 95 pounds. Smooth complexion, soft-ear length grey hair and glimmering eyes make Kubi look like a fun loving kid. His grey eyes are large and round, which tends to suck people in. His face usually consists of a large ear to ear smile. He has no scars or tattoo’s because he is so young, but his nails are painted random colors representing his mood.
Kubi wears the casual shinigami robes with no real adjustments other than the shirt underneath his haori is a dark Pink. the outfit had to be made specifically for him. On his outfit he wears a patch that in Japanese says he belongs to division thirteen. Kaito’s feet wear the usual straw lace sandals. His Chokuto (sword) resides behind his waist. It sits vertically and is easily accessibly drawn with Kubi’s right hand.
Personality: Kubi isn’t your basic innocent child. Given the fact he has no real family (Other than the captain of Division thirteen who he considers to be his big sister) Kubi is a very positive person. Kubi feels like he needs to impress people, especially those he looks up to. This will result in him training and studying with those who are older than him. Most members of Division 13 treat Kubi well even though he can be rather annoying from time to time.
As far as how he acts, Kubi tends to be different depending on who he is around. When he is aroud Rin he is obediant and tries to impress her, By either being smart or fighting. He will also fallow her words to the letter. When he is around the female persuasion he will act more like himself. Talking alot and playing silly games and such. However when he is around mostly males he will try to act more boyish than he is.
There is some controversy about him. Even though Kubi usually acts boyish most of the time, he has on multiple occasions has been found flirting or talking about men.He also is cosidered to be rather feminine compared to his peers. Many think he is “Confused” or going through a “Phase”. However this really stems from the fact that Kubi is open to love in all forms. Most who know about this think it’s because he had never been alive and faced the hardships of peer pressure to “fit in”. Others think Kubi is just gay. Kubi himself doesn’t think much about it and on most occasions finds he is just trying to enjoy life.
Kubi is a small child and is often considered “cute”. So it isn’t surprising when half of the young female shinigami hug him and pick on him. Kubi has gotten used to it and will often either shrug it off or laugh about it. His overall purpose, as he sees it, is to become a strong shinigami. Hopefully one day leading division thirteen like his idol and “Big sister”, Rin Shizumi. Kubi acts carefree and fun loving almost all the time. This go’s over well with most people in the Soul Society do to the fact he is a relief for them and someone people can turn to, to make them forget about their worries.
Kubi is also widely known around the Soul Society as being the person to come to when in need of advice. Though he is one of the youngest of all the people in the Soul Society he is considered an intellectual and overall helpful person. He has been known to go too far lengths to help people he doesn’t even know. This also results in a lot of younger, newer shinigami talking to him about things involving the academy or how to deal with their captain, etc.
Finally Kubi’s main goal in life or better yet the after-life is to please and help other people. Sense Kubi had never lived a real human life he has never felt the sorrows of loss or the pain of death. Kubi thinks of pleasing those around him at all times regardless of their wishes, this tends for people to take advantage of him. This can tend to get him in some degree of trouble. However Kubi doesn’t let that or anything else bring him down, other than when people mention the fact that he is technically an orphan.
History: Kubi was born in a small hospital in a town on a small island located across from Tokyo. The town was poor and full of farmers and beggars. During the birth there were several problems. This was either the result of bad luck or the fact that his family was so poor they couldn’t afford a real doctor. When Kubi “Came out” his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. Being alive merely five minutes, Kubi died.
Kubi had appeared in the first district of the Rukongai. Thankfully someone seeing a baby lying in the middle of the Rukongai was nice enough to give it sanctuary. Kubi was “Raised” by a little old lady in the first district. Their home was a small shack and the women sold small little “antiques”. Her store was rather pointless and had little or no customers most of the time. Still she was able to keep her and Kubi happy. Kubi stayed with the women until she died. Kubi was about 40 then but his body and mind was only 4. He could walk, talk, and think but other than basic motor skills he didn’t know much. He hadn’t even learned the women’s name.
For days he wondered around the Rukongai, Searching for food and for places to rest. All the while hoping someone else would take him in and help him like that lady had done for him. Well Kubi walked around the districts he started noticing men and women in black robes with swords. At first he was afraid of them. Thinking they were “Bad guys”. But after a while he noticed that they tended to help people more than cause trouble.
One day well Kubi was mindlessly wandering the Rukongai he noticed a man beating up an old lady. Kubi got really angry and ran up and pushed the man. Not excepting it the man was knocked off balance and fell, only to quickly stand up and look down at Kubi. The man then beat Kubi until he was bloody and could no longer stand. The man left Kubi in an alleyway broken and beaten.
Kubi laid there for what felt like weeks. He felt like he was slipping away. The pains of his wounds were just too much to bear. His wounds had healed mostly but he was sick. Something was incredible wrong with him. He couldn’t move his body and he had a hunger unknown to him. Just as Kubi thought he was going to die…again, a shinigami stumbled across him. She picked him up with ease. Kubi studied her, her eyes were gray like his and her hair was a long and had its own color, a mix of black and red but very exotic. Kubi was unsure of what to call her. So when he hugged her and started crying he said the first thing he could think of. “Mommy”, However Kubi no longer remembers to saying that or at least doesn’t admit to saying it.
The shinigami was Captain of division 13 Rin Shizumi. She took him back to the Shinigami Court Divisions and more specifically to Division 13’s quarters. That is where Kubi began to grow up. Rin, being a captain was able to get Kubi training and teaching very quickly, allowing him to practice everything from Zanjutsu to Kido to your everyday arithmetic. Kubi spent most of his next year’s fallowing Rin around and learning how to become a shinigami. He spent hundreds of days and countless hours simply doing push-ups to get stronger to impress Rin.
Kubi is very young, only appearing to be 11 and now spends most of his time with Rin or wandering around the SS. On certain occasions he can talk people into bringing him to the living world. This is his favorite thing to do since he had never been able to “Live”.
(OOC:Since Kubi is so young the history is rather short. Also I plan on adding more history later after the next arc. I plan by that time to have Kubi an actual shinigami by then. Since he already is training with seated shinigami and a captain he would be able to skip the academy if Rin pulled a few strings. This would allow him to avoid a six year time jump. I will also train for Shikai and shinigami techniques during the arc as to make it appear as if he had trained greatly.)
Additional Info: Kubi is very close to Division Thirteen’s Captain Rin Shimizu. His favorite things to do are go to the living world and eating ice cream with Rin. Also he is gay, Though most people do not know this. So unless he has told your character you have no idea.
Zanpakuto
Name: Rognoki (RA-NAK-EE)
Spirit Description:
Rognoki, despite his scary appearance is quiet like Kubi. They have almost the exact personalities and feelings. Rognoki tends to be less talkative then Kubi but also chips in his two sense when he sees fit. Rognoki tends to tell Kubi when he should and shouldn’t be doing things. Though Kubi doesn’t listen half the time which results in Rognoki’s most common phrase “I told you so”
Sealed:
Kubi’s sword is a Chokuto, which is a shorter, straight, single edged version of a katana. Basically the Chokuto is a short straight blade with one sharp edge and easily concealable. Also the Chokuto has no guard. Kubi’s Chokuto’s sheath is gray with a black streak seen running down the middle (Change the white to grey in the picture above). His blade is about 30 inches long and its handle is around 10 inches long. It is a one handed weapon.
Shikai –Not achieved
Activation Phrase: “Tear Them Apart Rognoki!”
Appearance:
The weapons blade increases in length and the colors change as seen in the picture above. Also the blade becomes able to be wielded with two hands. Kubi’s overall appearance isn’t altered at all but his reitsu becomes much more visible.
Abilities:
Torture Petals: 1) Kubi’s Chokuto turns into a group of 50 black flower petals that form around Kubi. Kubi can control the petals to either float around him like a mine field or to fly after one of his enemies. They fly rather about a hundred feet per second but in a large group making them hard to avoid. Upon contact with one of the petals they will explode into metallic shrapnel. The shrapnel can pierce the bodies of someone of two classes lower. They will cause gashes and large wounds to someone a class lower. To someone of equal class the shrapnel will enter the skin a cm max and cause wounds that can only be fatal if not treated. They will do little damage to someone a class or two higher. This ability can only be used once and lasts for five posts and then Kubi will revert out of Shikai. Recharge period is 3 posts.
2) Kubi Makes all of the petals explode simultaneously causing massive amounts of damage to anyone in a 25 yard radius in all directions. The petals are lethal to anyone who isn’t at least class six. This attack drains most of Kubi’s reitsu so he doesn’t use it often. It has a 25 second (Two posts roughly) charge period and can only be used once a battle. Also the petals cant move well being charged, but Kubi can.
Bankai – Not achieved
Activation Phrase: “Rip Through Them Rognoki”

Also in bankai Kubi can control each petal individually

Shinigami Techniques
[4] Crawling Rope - The user holds their hands togheter as they gather reiatsu for the attack, then as they are about to unleash it they separate their hands, yellow lightning like energy running inbetween them before they thrust their hands toward the target, sending the energy flying like a rope that if it hits the target will wrap itself around them and hold them in place. Anyone stronger than the user could easily break out of it if given a little time.
[31] Shot of Red Fire - Fires a ball of red energy at the target
*Incantation: Ye Lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, The sea barrier surges, March on to the south!*

Other Characters: Division 11 Vice Captain: Aiko Tanaka/ Second Councilman of the Masked Syndicate: Kaito Karakousa (Not approved yet.)
Roleplay Sample:
Kubi was smiling as he made his way down the thirteenth division’s hall. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday evening. There wasn’t even anyone getting drunk or relaxing like most of the “Adults” did. Kubi laughed, they always thought he was clueless. As if he didn’t know what “Relaxing” really meant. He was damn near a hundred years old. Kubi looked down at himself. He really did curse his body. As Kubi turned to his right and went to open a door he noticed that for once it was locked. Kubi sighed and looked around. “I wonder where she is, I thought she said…”
Kubi turned and continued down the hall. Rin had promised to take him out to the real world the next day for ice cream. After all, it was his birthday, usually, or at least before he met Rin, Kubi sat around and cried on his birthday. But now things were different. Kubi made his was out a sliding door and into a courtyard. The scene was almost breathtaking. There was a stream running underneath a small bridge which was surrounded by trees and birds and bushes. It made Kubi smile. He really wanted to play but no one was around.
Kubi made his way across the small bridge, and then getting side tracked he chased a blue bird for a moment. As he ran around chasing the bird he realized something that would probably drive Rin crazy. Kubi wanted a puppy. He had read about how the living would get their kids… Their siblings puppies for their birthday or Christmas… Ohhhhhh Christmas. Another thing Kubi had always wanted to experience. He had once made Rin promise him to take him to see a Christmas, but sadly her captain duties kept getting in the way. Kubi understood Rin was a captain and that her job came first. However he couldn’t help but get aggravated when she forgot about things like Christmas or Halloween. Kubi’s mind trailed again. Halloween, one of the few days he could go to the human world without having to worry about being seen by a human or something like that. Kubi laid down on the ground looking at the sky above. It was one of the days he could really be…. Alive.
