Fought it off for a while...but...

I'm bored again. I spent most of today and all of last night preparing for a glorious return to the BARPG...I made a character and everything...read through 800 posts, with an average wording of several-hundred words, and now I'm just waiting on Brian to pm me back with the OK that I can make another character, since I TECHNICALLY already have a character... >_<

I'll post it here anyway, because I'm bored.....because that makes sense... o_O;;

[App] (Kainashi Heisei) <13th>

Name:

Heisei, Kainashi (M)

Kainashi Heisei

Age:

26 (At death), 509 (Soul Society age)

Personality:

Heisei is extremely introspective and insightful, often to the point of it becoming a downfall. He was never popular due to his inability to relate to anyone, and he soon became quite detached from what little friends he had. He mostly looks in on groups, never asking to join, and refusing any offers to. His personality has become quite self-destructive over the years, and he has come to know this. Being aware of his own personality flaws only serves to make Heisei more inwardly distraught. He spends most of his time meditating, seeking to cure the incurable wound from his past.

Physical Appearance:

A picture of Heisei is included above. [Spoiler]I'm not sure which anime this character is from, but I like the look of him. This is the same look I used for my original BARPG character, but this character is completely different.[/spoiler] The only difference is that Heisei wears normal Shihakusho, not the clothing that he is wearing in the above picture.

Heisei stands at about 5"11, and almost always wears a blank, if slightly sad, expression on his face.

Division:

13th Division. (Unseated)

Zanpakuto:

Heisei's zanpakuto is roughly 140cm long, including the hilt, so he wears it across his back. It has an unusually long kissaki, about 10cm, and there is less curve to the pale blue-stained blade than is normal for a Jin Taichi. The tsuba is in the shape of the Yin-Yang, only with grossly exaggerated arms, that curve around almost to 180 degrees. (See image below)

Biography:

When Heisei was a born in Kyoto. Hailed as a child prodigy, he started school at the age of 5 and was reading advanced literature by the time he was 7. Heisei completed high school at the age of 15, but neglected attending university. Heisei had always been able to sense things that other humans couldn’t sense. He would occasionally hear deathly screams echoing throughout the city. One day, in his 17th year, Heisei saw a man in a black robe fighting a massive monster, during a walk at midnight. The man had fought hard, but the monster was immensely powerful, and the man was eventually overwhelmed. Heisei had watched in horror as the man was devoured. The monster had then promptly vanished through a mysterious hole in the world, but Heisei could have sworn it had noticed him, and let out a quiet laugh.

The rest of Heisei's life was then consumed by a quest to find out what he had seen that night. He joined internet cults concerned with these mysterious figures, which he soon learned were called "shinigami". He spent all of his days inside, researching what he could, making contacts. He learned more about shinigami and hollows than any human had a right to know, and had soon established himself around the world simply as "The Seeker". The human with the most knowledge about anything paranormal. Shinigami's and Hollows were his prime interest.

But then, suddenly, people all around the world became alarmed, as the one known as "The Seeker" simply vanished. No-one knew where he went.

What had happened, in fact, was Heisei had found...someone. The first person he had ever known to take his interest away from the paranormal. Yes, Kainashi Heisei had fallen in love.

The name of this love is not known, but it is known that is the reason behind The Seeker's absence from the internet for almost two years.

Those two years were the happiest of Heisei's life. Not even the occasional screams of hollows were enough to shake his permanent deliria. Life passed in a happy blur for him. He went outside, he threw out his computer. All so he could spend more time with his love.

But then, one fateful day, when Heisei and his love were outside enjoying a late-night walk, they passed the area where Heisei had first seen a shinigami. He paid no attention to their location, just happy he could share another moment with his love. Suddenly, he heard a ripping noise. Wheeling around, he saw another hole in the world. The very same kind of hole the hollow had escaped through on that night, all those years ago.

To Heisei's horror, out of that hole came that hollow. Things seemed to move in slow motion as the hollow had charged at Heisei and his love. Heisei had attempted to push her out of the way, taking the hollow's charge instead, allowing her to escape. The hollow had simply ignored him and turned towards her. Heisei didn't even have time to scream before his love was torn apart by the claws of the hollow. He dropped to his knees, distraught.

The hollow had addressed him. He had paid it no heed.

Heisei had staggered home in a daze. Upon his arrival, he had brought out the notebook computer he had hidden in a safe, the notebook with all the information he had ever collected on Shinigami’s and hollows. He had spent nine hours uploading it all to a secure site, for someone, someday to find.

He had then logged in to the community where he discussed paranormal matters for one last time.

Ignoring the floods of greeting and welcome messages, Heisei posted one message online before closing his laptop for the last time.

The Seeker was never seen or heard from again.

Specialty:

• Hohou.
• Heisei prefers to avoid confrontations. He has no qualms about harmless sparring-matches, but he avoids aggressive situations whenever possible. If drawn into a fight, Heisei attempts to end it as quickly as possible. For this reason, he trained single-mindedly for many, many years on improving his Shun-Po and footwork.

• Zanjutsu.
• While always wishing to avoid confrontation, Heisei is also very much concerned with strength coming from technique. He much prefers so outclass a combatant in skill than in simple brute-force. For this reason, Heisei has gradually honed his skills with the blade to near-perfection. He is capable of outclassing almost any opponent with the blade, save for his former master, an old hermit living in the outskirts of Rukongai.

Sample mission:

*This mission is from when Heisei was still known as The Seeker. It is based around his meeting with a contact.*

He's late...., Heisei mused.

He sat in an armchair; his legs pulled towards his chest, in the corner of a dark hotel room, his back to a window. He always met with contacts in hotel rooms. It was much safer. It meant that he couldn't be tracked. He had become quite paranoid in recent years...

The hotel room was small and cheap. Very unassuming. It had nothing but a single-bed against one wall, an armchair in the corner and a coffee-table in the center of the room. He was brought out of his reverie by a quiet, but urgent, knocking on the door. He looked up.

"Come in."

The door opened silently, and the shadowy figure walked in, closing the door carefully behind him.

Heisei regarded him as he walked into the moonlight. The man was tall...taller than Heisei, but he hunched over. It made him seem small and ignorant. Heisei knew far better. He had dark, shoulder length hair and a very slight build. He wore navy-blue tracksuit pants and a black jacket. Heisei knew him well, but this was the first time he had met the man in person, so he was understandably wary.

"You said you needed to meet with me?" Heisei inquired coldly.

"Yes. I have something that I think you may like to see."

The man reached inside his jacket and pulled out something. Upon seeing what it was, Heisei leaned in, suddenly interested.

"Where did you get this?" He demanded.

The man chuckled.

"I thought it might interest you. I can tell you already know what this is. I found it in the remnants of what was obviously a battle between a shinigami and a hollow. The hollow was defeated, but for some reason, the mask stayed in the real world. It was quite badly fragmented almost to the point where it was dust, but I managed to find a piece large enough to be worth showing to you."

True enough, the man held, in his hand, a fragment of a hollow's mask.

"And why are you showing this to me?"

"I wish for you to study it for me. There has to be something you can discern about hollows by studying this thing. I think everyone would be most interested to know whatever you can find out."

He held out the white, bone-like fragment towards Heisei. Heisei took it with a gloved hand, placing it in a plastic zip-lock bag.

"I thank you. I will try to find out what I can. Is there anything else?"

The man shook his head, rising.

Heisei did not rise, but nodded.

"Very well. Good night, and thank you again, Infinitum."

The man turned to leave. Heisei watched him go. Once the door was closed, he stood, tucking the bag securely into one of his many pockets, and left to check out of the hotel.
