Satō Shingen

Satō Shingen (森厳左党, Shingen Satō) is a and member of the Royal Guard.

Appearance
Satō is a taller than average man with a broad frame and lean build. He has long black hair, neatly pulled back and tied up in a simple ponytail that hangs down as far as his waist. His eyes are a golden-brown in colour with visible creases resting next to them. He has a bit of a short, but crooked nose and his lips appear almost permanently aligned in a frown. His body is gangly yet well defined with his prominently showing off beneath the skin. He wears a tighter version of the Shinigami shihakushō that still allows for the maximum freedom of movement required of Shinigami but gets rid of the excess such as present in the sleeves, giving him a more formal look than his comrades. He also dons armour in the form of a Yoroi, comprised of a chestplate, spaulders, vambraces as well as greaves and sabatons though those remain hidden underneath the lower half of his robes. A floral patterned sash wraps around his waist to help tie his outfit together.

Personality
Satō is a stern and serious figure, almost never taking the time to relax or enjoy the moment, he is almost always calm and collected, making a constantly conscious effort to remain indifferent and unaffected by events going around him so as best to keep his reactions uncluttered by emotion. He is averse to social interaction though he doesn't dissuade or prevent it from occuring, instead he does his part not to dull his company if only be feigning interest. He is analytical by nature and appears to take enjoyment from having to properly analyze something in order to succeed, such as when fighting opponents with unique or unusual abilities.

Satō can be said to be "explosive" when angry, becoming overly loud and somewhat crazed in interaction. Foregoing any kind of indoor voice, he'll yell most anything he says.
