Name of Character? Kazuya Kuchiki
 * Race of Character? Shinigami
 * What is their level of skill and power? As with most of my characters, Kazuya's mastery in the art of Kidō is central to his character. As the next-in-line to an extremely powerful clan, Kazuya has received tutelage from some of the best users of Kidō and Hohō present in the Soul Society. His teachers including masters like Midori Jinkou and Shihoin Kurama in the Fields of Kidō and Hohō respectively. He's a decent swordsman, as he was trained by his uncle, but he's still nowhere close to Byakuya's level. His skills at Hakuda are virtually nonexistant.
 * How would you describe their fighting style? Being a master of two distinct ways of combat, Kazuya engages in Battle with the flair of a true Kuchiki, he prefers to fight at a range with his mighty array of Kidō spells. His prowess with magic allows him to defeat most opponents without ever having to release his Zanpakutō, whose entire function is to empower his already immense magical Power. As a man who dislikes combat, Kazuya prefers to end encounters immediately as opposed to letting them drag on, annihilating or incapacitating his adversary as quickly as possible.
 * Why do you believe they would be allowed to have this spot? Kazuya has achieved Bankai, is the current "Prince" of the Kuchiki clan and has been thoroughly schooled in matters of leadership, diplomacy and ettiquette from a very young age, making him a particularly good candidate for the position. His love of books and reading would also go in well with the 9th Divisions intended role.
 * How did they acquire this position? Following the vacuum left in the wake of the war, and the numerous empty positions that needed to be filled, Byakuya would've decided that the time was ripe for the Kuchiki Clan to further increase their hold on Soul Society. While in the past they've only had a single captain in the Gotei 13, the clan would now intend to have two, vastly increasing their influence and potentially allowing them to become an even greater part of Seireitei's political system.
