Ekō Mukō

Ekō Mukō (エコー無効, literally "Echoing Void") is the younger brother of Reborn Mukō, and an exiled member of the Mukō Empire. He works alongside Kyokai Okami and Mōka Raiotto. He is also a member of Henkō No Kōdo.

He was exiled from the Mukō Empire for opposing his older brother's power, and was banished to the living realm. While there he managed to harness his skills with the help of some friends.

Appearance
Ekō is a rather short, average looking male. He has blue hair, and wears a long drab, which is suppose to show his royalty. His left eye is a light blue color, while his right eye is a darker blue. He has a burn mark over his left eye, taking up a third of his face. He always carries his Zanpakutō around with him, and keeps it hidden deep within his garbs. He has a symbol on his back that looks like a black hole. This symbol is the insignia of his family, and proof that he was once part of a great dynasty.

After being exiled from his Dynasty, Ekō had his arm severed. He soon began wearing a wooden prosthetic arm, which he created using the Shikai of his Zanpakutō. He also began wearing the royal headdress of the Emperor, and had two pure white fox tails framing either side of his face. His garb gained two pauldrons which are made out of the same material as the rest of his clothes, but is much thicker. The black hole insignia is no longer on the back of his clothes, because a burn mark replaces it. This burn mark is a symbolic way of showing his hatred toward his family.

Personality
Ekō is one of the most serious members of his Dynasty. He worries over little things, and has an inferiority complex. He always puts himself down, and rarely speaks his mind. He addresses everybody older and wiser then him with the ending "dono". He is very polite, but can show his rude side from time to time. He looked up to his brother, and was greatly disappointed when he was included in the succession of power (a fight within his Dynasty that would determined the next leader, by having the soon to be leader killed). He shows to have a strong hatred toward his mother and cousins. He cherishes the word "father" and the actual person, more then anything.

During his exile, he used the time away to think about his life. He has become more serious then before, but has gained the ability to joke around. He usually takes things to the extreme, and tries to over achieve. He believes with great power comes an even greater responsibility, and usually scolds himself when somebody says he has misused his power. His elders and his father's words have been etched into his mind, to the point where his consciousness is full of determination. However, he still tends to talk down on himself.
