But, when spoken to, one would be surprised to find out that he`s actually quite comical. He seems to love using sarcasm, and/or dark satire. He can be misleading at times, tending to do things, quite uncommon. Some theorized that he suffered from Multiple Personalities Disorder or may be Bi-Polar. But none of that is the case, Kuzan is simply.... Unpredictable.

Kuzan is actually quite smart, he likes reading different types of books. Fiction, Non-Fiction, Psychological, Philosophy, etc. Any type of books that can widen his perspective of the world, and himself. It gives him a certain since of, reality, and actuality. Things within the world, love, fear, pain, sorrow, etc. It all interest him, on a deep intellectual level.

His skin is fair of tone, which matches well with his hair, which is a strong blue color. Matching the color of his hair, his eyes are so blue, but are lighter, so are described as aqua blue. His adominal is of normal length, having a flat stomach. His legs and arms are 3 inches past the normal length.

His attire in the soul society consisted of the regular black shinigami wear. But being apart of squad 9, he added his own touch, which consisted of blue threading upon the back, which shaped the structure of a katana blade. He also weared his zanpakuto over his shoulder and back, instead of his hip, due to it being a nadachi.

But since he went rogue, he dropped the shinigami attire. In spirit form, he wears a purpl-ish blue hood over his body. Which covers over a high collar sleeveless blue top, a pair of purpl-ish blue pants, and a pair of blue sneakers. While in his gigai, he tends to wear a button down, slacks, and a jacket. It mainly depends on the weather, because his attire altenate each day.

Bio: On the 22nd of September, on a saturday night, Kuzan was born into this world. A odd child, his hair was blue, and his eyes sparkled like that of a spring lake. He had a dull gaze to him, but was also captivating to those that saw him. His parents referred to him as the "Miracle Child". He was three months premature, but did not have any health issues. This was really a surprised to his family, seeing how it was common for premature babies to suffur from some type of health issue. His father was quite skeptical of Kuzan being his child. Which was not a surprised, Kuzan did not have his fathers black hair, or brown eyes. Nor did he have his mother`s brunnete colored locks, or hazel eyes. Luckily his grand parents help clear it all up, having to find out that Kuzan`s great, great, great grandfather, on his dad side, was also born with blue hair and eyes.

As a toddler, Kuzan was very energetic. He usually ran all around their home, or the outside area. He tended to throw things, like all kids his age, and bite things. He always seem to bare a smile upon his face, rarely crying. As he began to start school, his energetic personalitty did not change. He was still very active, and he still held a smile upon his lips. It was hard at times, kids would stare at him do to his odd hair color. Mostly everyone else had brown, dark, or blonde hair. So there was no surprise why he was look upon as the outcast. Even though he was viewed as wierd, he still mangae to gain friends, and continued moving up through grades.

As a pre-teen, things tended to get much harder. Dealing with those that he did not mix in well. Most likely because they were middle schoolers. To him, elementary was much easier to deal with, but now things seem to change. Because the verbal insults thrown at him everyday, Kuzan gained a temper. One that he really could not control, for some reason. He usually engaged in multiple altercations during his time at school. His parents struggled with the backlash. Getting approached by other parents, along with the teachers. It was something they did not like having to deal with. That was the main reason why Kuzan received multiple time out sessions, and butt whoopins. One day, one of the kids that he had gotten into the most fights with, approach him and started another altercation. This altercation ended up becoming one of his worst. It ended with the boy going out of a window, getting his arm cut pretty bad. Of course it was a accident, it was not even Kuzan`s fault. The boy tripped, but it did get him in more trouble than he would of thought. The police got involved, which promted Kuzan to run away. This ended up being a horrible idea, because it ended up being the reason for his death. He stumbled upon a peice of rock, and hit his head upon a boulder. This cause a head wound, this head wound caused alot of blood lost, and knocked Kuzan unconcious. It was not long before Kuzan died, since it took two days before his body was found. And he died by blood lost.

Kuzan was a spirit for a few weeks, he spent most of his time following around his parents, and those at school. He was in disbelief at what happened, but seem to adjust quicker than usual. It was odd because he was only a eleven year old. So for him to not react strongly, or enter a state of denail, was pretty odd. He spend most of his time crying. Watching his mother cry through out times of the day, as well as his dad, who tried to hold it in. It was a sad sight for him to witness, so he was pretty thankful for the shinigami that came. Sending him off to Soul Society, and the Rukongai District.

While there, he spent most of his time alone. Living along the streets as he pretty much went into a state of silence and depression. He rarely ate, so he basically starved most of the time. The only times he did eat, was when someone was nice enough to give him a piece of bread or meat. And that was rare, alot of them are pretty stingy. As some years past, Kuzan lost sight of how long he was there, and was surprised he was still alive. It was not until he met a gang of kids his age, did he ever have any type of fun here. Though it took a while, the group were able to get Kuzan to join them and speak to others. For the first time, he was pretty happy.

As he seem to get older, he set in with being in soul society. He even gained a best friend, was a surprised to him. The two tended to get into multiple fights. Training, so they called it. Using wooden sticks to play sword, as it kind of spark Kuzan`s love for using weapons. Hand to hand comback was also fun, seeing how the two usually scruff up one another. They tended to not hold back in their fights, and mainlty only went all out against one another. There was some jealousy between the two. Kuzan was jealous of the fact that, Mako was skilled at using spirutal attacks. While Mako was jealous of Kuzan`s skill with a weapon and his fist. The two had a brotherly like relationship, and they both joined the shinigami academy. The two seem to spark arivalry of some kind, as they tried to get the higher grades. Which was pretty even at times, Kuzan of course, always did good in Hakuda classes. While Mako did good in the Kido using classes. The two did well, graduating pretty high, and both joining squad 9 together. While apart of Squad 9, the two continued training against one another, and everyone else. Kuzan did the best when it cames to hand to hand and swordsmandship, as Mako excelled with the use of kido, so they usually get the upper hand at times. Raising in the ranks and skills as the two became the 3rd and 5th seat. Kuzan being third, while Mako was 5th seats, but in different squads. Because of his skill in kido, Mako was place in Squad 13. The two did not see each other as much, but still trained when they could. But usually trained with their squad mates and themselves.

Some years continued to pass them by as Kuzan seem to get stronger and stronger, Mako as well. Kuzan managed to master his shikai, which was pretty difficult. At times, he had training sessions with his captain, which was a big help in him learning more. His skilled with his blade was pretty good, he also worked on his Kido, in secret. He was even offered to be the leutinent of another squad, but turned it dEown. He did not feel like he was ready yet. He did begin training on his bankai, which was more dificult than his shikai. Things seem to be looking up for him at this time.

Some time later, things seem to have changed, mainly during a mission where squad 9 had to go help back up squad 13. Apparently, a gang of hollows took alot of them out, Kuzan worried about Mako, who was apart of the dispatch that was there. When he got there, he was over come by emotions as he saw Mako lying dead upon the ground, drenched in blood. He was dead, which angered Kuzan, who ended up using his untrained bankai. This was a mistake, because, eventhough it took out some of the hollows, the backlash also hit him. Causing him some injuries, some days later, he found out that Mako was not brought back to squad 4 to be healed. Which angered Kuzan because he felt Mako could of been healed, or brought back. But that was not the case, he felt as if no one really cared, since they went on with their lives, and he did not like the fact that he could not greive. After that, he started realizing something about Soul Society. He felt as if they had no compassion for anything, plus, he felt weak. So, he went rogue, leaving soul society as he found a way during a mission he was sent on.

Since he decided to go rogue, he needed some help making sure those of Soul Society did not find him. That`s why he went to Kisuke Urahara. Asking for his help, as he was able to help Kuzan escape from being under the radar of Soul Society. Once free, he decided to spend his time training. Which he was able to do underneath Urahara`s shop, he even was able to get some help by Kisuke himself, despite his laziness. Kisuke help Kuzan edge closer and closer to perfecting his bankai. He was probaly some inches pass the half way mark, but was still not perfect at using its full power. He did feel that he could put up a good fight against some seasoned captains, eventhough he would probaly always lose. Like he did against Kisuke, during their spars. Nevertheless, Kuzan continued training, taking on many hollows, and training himself as well.

*Munsutotoku(Moon Stroke): Circling with the brush, he is able to create a pure black moon. It seends a barrage of ink shaped like pellets at the intended opponent(s). Its one dimensional, so it can only attack in the direction before it.

Bankai

Bankai Name: Hakai-Tekina Kaiga Buredo(Destructive Painting Blade)

Bankai Description: Inkk rains down from the sky, as a black thcik amount of reshi releases and surrounds the body of Kuzan. It quickly clears to reveal Kuzan, with a altered appearance. His attire changes to a high collar, sleeveless, black vest top. Chinese scriptures are tattooed upon his bare arms, as the once connected weapons, turn into two.

*Gaka Wa Shigoto(Painters Art): This is a stronger version of Geijutsu-Kan. Instead of only being able to create one animal or object, he can create four at a time. More stronger, and powerful. But, like Geijutsu, they are easily taken out by a hit or slash.

*Kessaku(Masterpiece): This is his ultimate technique, he once used it when he barely gained his bankai, and ended up getting hurt in the process.

Ths technique creates a male made of pure ink, four times the size of Kuzan.
