General information Name: [Miyamoto] Akane Kasumi Name Meaning: Japanese, Akane: Dark Red, Kasumi: Mist Date of Birth: March 15th, 1590 Age: 718 Visual age: 27 years Sex: Female Origin: Hiroshima, Japan Physical Information Visual Appearance ![]() General Appearance: Kasumi is short, about 5' 2" tall but with a very dignified, yet laid back presence.She carries a bit of extra weight in her hips, that makes her look perhaps a bit slower and weaker than she really is. Her facial characteristics are soft, giving her the appearance of someone much younger; her skin is only very lightly tanned and her eyes are a dark shade of emerald green. Typically, she wears dark, and heavy makeup. Her hair is a shade of auburn red, and in recent years she has been growing it longer, to just past her shoulders, and keeps it most often tied up messily in a ponytail. She has a deep scar on the left side of her neck, right above her collar bone about 4 inches long. Clothing and Armour: Most often, Kasumi wears a standard Shihakusho, sleeveless, and underneath wears a black, long-sleeved, fitted shirt with sleeves that extend and attach to her middle fingers with silver rings. Around her neck she wears a red, silk scarf that hides her scar and the small silver pendant she hardly ever removes. Her Captain's haori is plain, sleeveless and unadorned. In her hair she often wears brightly, or oddly colored or shaped barrettes, and on her nose are always perched her thick-framed glasses. In her right ear, she wears a single earring, consisting of two silver chains attached to white feathers. Her Zanpakuto is worn in a harness on her back, held on by a thick strap around her neck, and a thin silver cord at her waist. Height: 5' 2" Weight: 156lbs Shinigami Information Division: 4th Division Rank: Captain Zanpakuto Name: Ikazuchi Arashi [Thunder Storm] Spirit Appearance ![]() Ikazuchi Arashi, is seen by Kasumi as a young man, about her age, with gnarled white-feathered wings and a face half altered by deep scarring. From his waist down, he wears a white robe, lined in silver, and white Grecian-styled sandals embellished with silver accents. In his hand he carries a wilted olive branch. Personality Ikazuchi, as he is preferably referred to, is a typically silent entity. He prefers to show his thoughts with action rather than words. When he does speak, it is typically in short, cryptic sentences; never more than he needs to get his message conveyed. He serves as a mentor, confidante, and fathering figure to his wielder and cares for her as best he can. Inner World ![]() Ikazuchi resides in a world that is the ruins of a Gothic cathedral; the only part of the cathedral that seems intact is a far wall with a huge, stained glass rose window. The rest consists of broken and crumbling pillars and walls, and the roof has long since caved in. The atmosphere is constantly overcast, and it often snows when Kasumi is in a calm and happy mood. Sadness brings intense sun and heat, giving the place a desolate feel, and anger causes fierce storms to rage. Beyond the cathedral's walls is seemingly nothing but a void, constant whiteness atop a smooth glassy surface accented by a low settling fog. There is a single sakura tree, constantly in bloom at the far end of the cathedral, having grown up through the stone. Release Phrase: Kouta no Arashi. Ikazuchi has three Shikai commands called Ballads; the initial release phrase awakens the blade and prepares it for its command. Release Method: N/A Shikai Appearance: The released appearance of Ikazuchi Arashi, depends primarily on the command issued. [See Shikai Abilities] Shikai Abilities First Ballad: Kudakero (Shatter) The first ballad, with the sound of shattering glass, turns the blade itself into a bolt of blue lightning, and it can be wielded with the ease of a regular sword but with the ability to extend itself to attack from a distance, and when held horizontally it can be used as a shield to deflect most direct attacks. Second Ballad: Joushou (Ascend) The second ballad causes the blade to seemingly fracture into an aura of white feathers, before reforming into a long, white, pole-weapon, resembling a Naginata, with a long, curved, silver blade to one end, and a large crescent moon-shaped blade to the other; inlaid with a large emerald. In this form Ikazuchi Arashi is a quick and balanced weapon, easily wielded in close combat. The long, curved blade retains the abilities of the previous ballad, while the moon blade becomes fiercely offensive and difficult to block, it's emerald is able to fire devastating blasts of energy, unfortunately at the expense of the wielder. Third Ballad: Hanpatsu (Recover) The third ballad is hardly ever used in battle, unless Kasumi is fighting alongside an ally. This ability creates a nearly impenetrable shield in a chosen area that can heal those inside of it; over a period of time. Primarily, this technique is used for moderate to severe instances within the Fourth Division. Bankai Name: Amatsu In'intaru Ikazuchi, Tenrai no Arashi [Heavenly Striking Thunder, of the Divine Storm] Release Method: The blade must be in one of the three shikai attack states before its Bankai can be released. It is released by the phrase, "Cast upon them, your divine Judgment." Bankai Appearance ![]() Kasumi takes on the appearance reminiscent of the wear of Grecian Goddesses, with flowing white and silver laced robes, white Grecian sandals, and a winged headdress. Her weapon manifests in two silver-armoured gauntlets. By swinging either or both of her arms, a bright yellow-white concentration of power, resembling a thunderbolt, extends in a sword-like manner to act as her primary attack. Raising her arms in a defensive manner can create a very strong shield that can block most attacks. These two attacks can be used conjointly. Bankai Abilities: Yuuwaku (Ensnare) This technique causes the gauntlets to glow white, and have a spiral aura of white lightning surrounding them. The command allows the lightning to stem out in a whip like fashion, either causing damage to an opponent or binding them in the bolt, like rope; temporarily suppressing the victim's reiatsu. Tenrai Kanshou (Divine Intervention) This attack has a wide range effect, of up to a mile in any given direction. It begins by darkening the sky with thick, ominous clouds and cool gusts of wind that threaten with near gale force. The effects combine to form a fierce thunderstorm, from which Kasumi can summon powerful bolts of lightning that can pierce an enemy with spear-like precision and, or can bind them to the ground or in midair, with mild reiatsu-suppressing effects. Known Kidou: Bakudō 1. Sai (Restrain) 4. Hainawa (Crawling Rope) 58. Kakushitsuijaku (Summoning of the Tracking Sparrows) 61. Rikujōkōrō (Six Rods Prison of Light) 77. Tenteikūra (Heavenly Rickshaws in Silken Air) Hadō 1. Shō (Thrust) 4. Byakurai (Pale Lightning) 33. Sōkatsui (Blue Fire, Crash Down 63. Sōren Sōkatsui (Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down) Hanki (Reverse Demon) Other Skills - Master at physical, and kidou-based healing. - Expert in Medicine. - Expert in Anatomy. Other information Fighting Level: Master Fighting Style: When in battle Kasumi's attacks are typically close range, or submissive. She shows limited athleticism in her techniques, and moves around the battlefield little other than quick dashes, ducks, and evasions. Her strongest point, is close range, hand to hand combat and long-range, non-physical attacks. Her weaker points are her awareness, which allows her to be easily taken off guard. Items: Her only treasured keepsake is a small, sapphire pendant given to her by her former Captain, Jushiro Ukitake. She wears it, always, by a thin silver chain around her neck, and keeps it tucked into her shihakusho. The gem is actually a manifestation of his reiatsu that, during his life, glowed blue with an elegant light; since his death the crystal has darkened to black, and has cracked. Personality: Kasumi is a particularly jovial and laid back person, and is typically rather warm and friendly to those with which she is on good terms. She has a great sense of humor and loves to make people laugh and never seems to have a problem with it. She loves to sometimes break into song when she feels the mood is too heavy in a place, and sometimes even dance; she's fair, but not great at both. Due to events in her life before death, she is slow to trust many people, because above all she fears betrayal, and fears no one is above it. Alas, she wears her heart on her sleeve and trusts people and issues them pity too easily, one of her greatest weaknesses. She also likes to try and fool herself, when something happens she refuses to believe she can do nothing more than to convince herself otherwise, and make herself blind to the truth; this often ends in personal disaster. She shows great loyalty to her captain, even though she doesn't take orders well. Then, on the other hand, she can be colder and quite distant, with a more serious side that enjoys peace, quiet and the occasional alone time. She most dislikes when she is told she can't do something. Afterward, she will do anything in her power to prove the accuser wrong. She angers and upsets easily, but can hide it rather well. She reads great amounts, and is rather intelligent, which is her most prized possession, and quick thinking, but sometimes loses herself under pressure and can make careless mistakes. History Kasumi Akane was born in a secluded, Samurai village near Hiroshima. Most of her life was spent at home, helping her mother by tending to the house, the small farm they owned, and her elderly grandmother who was living with the family. She only has vague momeries of her father, a Samurai, due to his continued and extended absences. His death came when Kasumi was only eight years old, having been forced to commit seppuku from shame of defeat. As a child, Kasumi was always weaker and frail from an unknown illness, but even at times she should have been bed-ridden she never let it bother her. Occasionally it affected her abilities, physically, but she was strong enough not to let it get the best of her. When she was thirteen, her grandmother, whom she'd grown quite close to after the death of her father and the dramatic change in her mother as a result, passed away; causing Kasumi to become more quiet and reserved, and much more contemplative. The months following were the time frame in which she developed a lot of her philosophies on life. When she was fifteen years old, she was pulled into an arranged marriage with Nobutada Miyamoto, the son of the village lord; then two years older than she. Though Nobutada was a fairly kind person, he and Kasumi never were quite harmonious in their relationship. Their personalities seemed to slightly clash, but nevertheless they were both loving to one another and loyal. Alas, as the years passed, Nobutada grew colder and more distant for reasons unknown, and often made Kasumi feel like a failure as a wife for her inability to bear children, and keep house properly, as a result of her illness. She never outwardly showed her frustration, but as time drew on his words wore away at her, and the sickness she was able to fight for so long gradually consumed her, and she withered into a bedridden state. In the middle of winter, the same year, Nobutada came to her late one evening. There was a strange kindness in his eyes that for months had been missing; she knew something about his actions was a little odd, but it had been so long since he'd shown her the slightest bit of love, it was only comforting to her. Taking her up from her bed, he helped her outside where snow was falling lightly and the setting sun glowed a hellish red through the thick clouds. Winter was her most favourite time of year. The two sat for a long while outside, until it was nearly too dark to see. He turned to her, his eyes almost on the verge of tears. 'I have to apologize to you...' Kasumi sat silently staring down at the snow at her feet, listening intently; not sure if his words were sincere. He crossed behind her and placed his hands lightly on her shoulders. She raised a cold hand to her shoulder to place gently on top of his. 'You've lived a damned existance...' He said softly, his lips close to her ear. 'You were destined to die an early, untimely death from the start...' Her glazed eyes grew wide, and a sharp, stinging pain coursed through her body. Blood blossomed onto her hands and the white fabric of her yukata, as she strained through the pain in her throat to look up at her husband, a blood-dripping tantô in his hand. 'Lest I let you suffer any longer...' Was all she could remember him saying before she faded into darkness. He buried her secretly under a sakura in the far corner of their land; the tree never blossomed again. Her spirit wasn't permitted to stay long enough in the human world to find out much more of the results of her death. She never knew if Nobutada's actions were really radical sympathy, or malicious. Her time spent in the Rukongai is all but a blur to her. She was sent to live in the 67th district, a fairly poverty-stricken district. She spent long periods of time alone, spending what felt like days at a time laying hopelessly in the darkness; her thoughts racing. It wasn't long before she regained control of her life, and striving for a new beginning, she cut her long hair, took back the name of her father and enrolled in the Shinigami academy. She at first was in the regular courses, but was soon placed up into the advanced curriculum, where she excelled at kidou and close-range combat. Upon graduation she was placed into the 9th division where she spent quite a bit of time as a 17th seat officer. During this time, she became very close with Captain Tousen, he becoming sort of her mentor, teaching her philosophies and training methods. He was the first person she'd ever grown to truly love, of her own free will, and her spirit was crushed upon his departure with Aizen, after the betrayal. Leaving the 9th she was sent to the 6th where she spent less than a year as a 10th seat, as she didn't exactly see eye to eye with Captain Kuchiki. He immediately dismissed her, and was taken under the wing of, then Captain of the 8th Squad, Captain Kyouraku. She stayed for quite some time in the 8th division, as a 6th seat where she became one of Shunsui's favourite drinking partners. The two were regularly in 'friendly drinking competitions', both too drunk in the end to decide a victor. Soon after she was transferred to the 13th, where she stayed for over 250 years. During the time she spent there, she formed a close bond with Captain Ukitake. His genial nature combined with her her jovial tendencies made them fast friends, and well-working partners. During the time at which Aizen was building his army, she had several unfortunate but never disastrous encounters with the Espada Ulquiorra. Subconsciously he became a symbol in her mind's eye of the embodiment of her fears and a frequent of her nightmares. He seemed to have a strange, un-enamored attraction to her, and every encounter they had haunted her psyche. Not long after, while recovering in the 4th division, she was taken by Ulquiorra to Hueco Mundo and kept as a captive for months in Los Noches during which time she suffered the many slings and arrows of Ulquiorra's corrupt affections before learning of the reason for her captivity. Afterward the two formed a bittersweet companionship. Thanks mostly to the bravery and determination of her Captain, Ukitake she was able to escape Los Noches back to the Seireitei before its destruction. Even now her greatest regrets are not being able to say goodbye to either Ulquiorra, or Ukitake. After learning of the death of her beloved Captain, she delved swiftly into a deep depression and for quite a time was very ill. She spent quite a bit of time in the 4th Division during that time, and having lost her taste for battle, became quite fond of its peaceful demeanor and as soon as she regained her strength left the 13th [and its new, and in her opinion inferior, Captain] and joined the 4th division as a low-ranked officer. Even after serving in a rank as high as 3th seat, she settled for an 11th seat position in the 4th division, and gradually recovered from the devastating loss by and honing in on her healing abilities. Slowly, her light-hearted demeanor resurfaced, her strength returned and she slowly climbed the ladder to her current position as Captain, as up until this point a new Captain had not been appointed. Other Notes: ![]() Sample RP: As if ripped from peace by the icy cold hands of fate once more, the comforting vision that had been consoling her in her weakened state was all of the sudden torn away from her as her once tired eyes shot open and saw nothing but the icy blackness around her. "Kaname-san!!" She said in a fluster as she sat bolt-upright and looked around madly, only to discover that not only the love she thought she'd once again found was not but a manifestation of perfection that her mind had created to torture her once more, but she was in an unfamiliar place, and no matter how she tried to shake the feeling, she could still feel the warm embrace of her dear Taichou. Her body trembled in what she couldn't decide was fear, or the icy chill that hung in the air around her, nevertheless she drew her arms in close to her to find her pale skin covered in a thin sheet of cold perspiration. She reached up to brush a few strands of damp hair away that clung to her cheeks and forehead, and averted her eyes to absorb the setting around her. She immediately discovered she was no longer in the 4th division anymore. The room was small, but felt immensely vast and empty; the only light coming from a modest sliver of pale moon as it shined dismally through the thick bars covering the one small window. Kasumi shivered as she looked around, trying to keep calm, but there was a terrible feeling looming in this place that she could not place. It smelled of death here...nothing but death, and naturally it put her at an unease. Standing, she found her footing a bit unpredictable as she stumbled to her knees; quickly gathering herself. She touched the floor with her trembling fingertips, and found it to be stone...cold, and stark white; as were the walls...everything, cold and icy white. She gasped softly, her slightly parted lips trembled softly. "W-where am I?" She whimpered pitifully, pulling her arms in tightly around her. Edited by Kasumi Akane, Feb 23 2009, 05:00 PM.

Does she HAVE to have an odd and seemingly out of place/completly random love affection for Ulq? |

I'm sorry, that post was by me. Llama uses my computer all the time, and as usual forgot to log out. >.> ...but as I said, there is no random/out of place affection, it was a plot used in the old RP I transferred her over from, and I just incorporated it into the history.
