Koizumi Ikushu

Still developing, more to come when it happens.

Koizumi Ikushu (Ikushu Koizumi) is a Bount of great power. He is generally one of the oldest among the other Bounts but was able to keep his young looks despite his age, how he did is generally unknown. Even though his age is not exact, it is assumed to be around the same age as Go Koga and Jin Kariya. For reason he was not found by Kariya on his search for strong Bounts is; The people around him had actually adored him and looked up to him as a type of "savior". While Kariya, who looked in areas where people were considered monsters, never found him because he was never revered as a monster nor an outcast.

Appearence
Koizumi Ikushu's original name was, Mark Lafcadio, but officially changes his name to a Japanese name upon entering Japan to search for his fellow Bounts. Koizumi has long red hair and black colored eyes, with the back tied into a ponytail. He generally wears a red shirt with the same tint as his hair, and wears a traditional black-colored Japanese boy's School jacket, with a Red Rose in his Jackets pocket (His Doll), over it and leaves it unbuttoned with his red undershirt viewable. He also wears the black pants from the same school uniform and wears his own black-colored shoes.

Powers & Abilities
Spiritual Energy Absorption: As all Bounts can, Koizumi can absorb the energy around him to empower himself as his doll, Nadel. He has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of spiritual particles, such as Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. In such areas, he is virtually invincible.

Soul Absorption: As a separate effect, while in the world of the living, he can devour the souls of the recently deceased or drain them directly from living if he chose to.

High Spiritual Power: Koizumi has a great level of Spiritual Energy, having slightly more then an average Lieutenant-level Shinigami.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: He is skilled enough to fight without Nadel using only his hands and feet to attack.


 * Schwarzer Garten (German for "Black Garden"); Is an attack used by Koizumi with Nadel. It forms black-colored vines with large thorns that wrap around the opponent in the shape of a box. Afterward, the Thorns then impale the opponent trapped within, dealing sever damage to whomever is trapped inside, internal and external. The manner of this attack mirrors the appearence of the Kidō Spell; "Black Coffin". The damage caused by this attack is similar to the effect of Byakuya's "Senbonzakura". Koizumi mentions the the black vines formed only last for 10 seconds before withering away instantly, but during that time period the black vines are completely invincible to anything having or made out of Spiritual Energy. Making it impossible to break in or out using Zanpakutō or Kidō. This can catch anyone off guard, but since the starting of this attack is obvious rather then secretive, it's easy to avoid if you know what to look for, making this attack almost useless against someone who has survived this attack beforehand.

Doll
Nadel (針, German for "Needle"): Koizumi's Doll takes the form of a Green colored whip with green thorns covering it all over, basically a "Rose Whip". The very bottom has the head of a Rose with Red Pedals. While unreleased, his Doll takes the form of an ordinary Red Rose which he has sticking out of his Jacket's shirt pocket. Even though it feels and looks real, Koizumi claims that his doll's unreleased form is, ironically, a fake rose. His dolls ability is focused heavily on plants. Using this whip, he can make cracks and gashes in the ground or on the walls, which plants can then grow out of. How big or powerful or how many of Nadel's plants are depends on how big or deep the crack or gash is made. Nadel's Plants also seem to be able to grown stronger and bigger if they feed on actual blood, Koizumi will often use his own blood to make Nadel's attacks stronger if he cannot use his opponent's blood. Nadel's plants can also grow on Koizumi's opponents if the cut they make is deep enough. The length of Nadel in her released form can be as small as 5 times Koizumi's size (around 1 foot), and can stretch to as far as 5 times his size (around 25 feet), although it is generally harder to control as Nedal's length grows.

Trivia
Both of Koizumi's names are a reference to the "Patrick Lafcadio Hearn". While being known as "Koizumi Yakumo" upon becoming an official Japanese citizen.
