Board Thread:Fanon Canon/@comment-25152698-20180519203324

I would hope by now that the bulk of this community is familiar with my character, Izari Kenshiko. If not, hit the darn link and check him out!

Moving along, I'm sure based on the title above, you lot should know where I'm going with this. For quite some time now, I've fancied the prospect of playing Izari in the light of a villain; and since the fanon canon seems to be picking back up, I figured why not share the idea with you guys and see where we can take it?

Synopsis
A prodigy like no other; a sworn talent so gifted that he was eons beyond his time long before he was even conceived. So great was his power that upon his birth it is said that the Seireitei --in all its profound glory-- trembled in the wake of his first cry. A cry that resounded and bellowed and howled to such an extent that all became of his arrival --of the arrival of the Kenshiko tribe's heir and most accomplished product.

Cliches aside, it came as a surprise to absolutely no one that this child progressed at rates never before seen. He soared through the ranks, demolishing each and every record and plateau set before him until he was on a standing of his own. And though he came to master every individual principle ever conceived, Izari's greatest and most formidable ability remained his ridiculous growth rate.

The rate at which Izari progressed could not be understated. He made incredulous leaps in strength and power on a whim; it was effortless to him, he needn't even try! Eventually he sought out the greatest masters of them all: the Yonko, the greatest practitioners of their craft, and can you at all imagine what happened next?

The child who on his own attained Bankai. Can you imagine what might happen to such a monstrosity if he were to be mentored by the legends of the Soul Society? Needless to say... Kuroyasha became so powerful that the mere idea of his existence posed as a threat to the balance of the world.

Even as a Captain, Izari did not feel at all accomplished. But merit aside, he didn't quite understand the purpose behind any of this. He retired his services as a member of the Gotei 13 and figured he'd instead ravel in the chasms as one of the Soul King's best. He joined the Royal Guard, but when ensued was only boredom. Strictly, boredom.

Why had he done all this? For what reason had he grown so strong?

Izari's Bankai enables him to manipulate the elements of space and time at his leisure. A rift to the future was opened, and seeking any sort of purpose, any at all, he ventured into the future to meet the only one man he thought could ever hope to understand him: himself.

You see, even as far as 100 more years into the future, Izari had grown so absurdly powerful that by now he saw no reason to grow any stronger. None could so much as hope to compare with what he had become. He had become so bored that on numerous occasions had he attempted to claim his own life, only to reach the understanding that for him, suicide was impossible.

He was too strong. He couldn't even escape himself. It brought him to the brink of ruination. Why, why was he alive? What was his purpose, if not to rule? For what reason had he attained all of this? He had been promised an answer should he reach the greatest heights. But it was all in vain. To no avail did anything make sense to him.

Everyone in his life had simply instructed him on what to do... yet never bothered explaining why it was he must do it. And so Izari finally made up his mind. He opted to find that purpose no matter the cost.

No matter the cost. No matter... the cost. He would reap and sow to his content, so long as he felt anything. He couldn't even feel anymore. The wind and breeze that blew through naturalistic means could not break through to his senses. He couldn't even taste food due to how refined his defenses had become.

A soul who failed to delve into any sort of pleasure at all was no soul at all.

Metric
If in 150 years of living, Izari became as powerful as he did, where can he be, say, at 1000 years of age?

Izari is far from power hungry. Matter of fact, he is the opposite; he does not wish to be so strong, he just wishes to understand. He has more power than he knows what to do with, so much power that he envies the weak.

This is a solo villain. Clearly he cannot bring himself to align with much of anyone, because no one could ever relate to him. He will not have a group like the Arrancar or Wardenreich; he is independent.

There is no immediate plot aligned to his creation; through my humble experience, I've found that when working within a large community, it's hard to involve everyone in one single arc/story/plot. Plot ensues from the actions of those contributing to the story. Future Izari is assembled to amount to exactly that.
