Appearance[]
Eiji appears to be a man of Japanese descent who is in his mid-30's, he stands at 6'00" and weighs 169 lbs, being well built and having perfect muscle to fat ratio. Eiji has black hair which is styled in the form of a crew cut, which is kept properly uniform at most times, his facial features are strong and sharp, having an angular nose, a sharp jawline and a small mouth, additionally, he also has slight scowl lines adorning his forehead.
Eiji typically wears the standard Shinigami attire of a Shihakushō, which overall consists of a black Hakama and a black Kosode, a white Shitagi, a white Obi and finally a white Tabi and Waraji that all Shinigami normally wear, he doesn't have any visible modifications to his Shihakushō that are notable in any way.
Personality[]
Eiji comes across as a strict and authoritarian individual, taking pride in his work and being exceptionally organised at all times. He typically keeps to himself whenever he has completed his assignments, tending to merely read whenever he is doing so, however, despite his quiet disposition when alone, Eiji's attitude when in a team switches to that of a traditional team leader, being strong willed, clear headed and quick thinking, being able to work well in a team despite his less than friendly demeanor.
Eiji's social skills are slightly lacking, with him sometimes not being able to properly deliver his messages in a way that would constitute as welcoming and friendly, which sometimes causing others to dismiss him as a cold individual, despite him not particularly being as such. His attitude towards individuals who are disobedient or disrespectful is one of annoyance and sometimes hatred, though he is able to work with such individuals to a degree.
While in battle, Eiji becomes more focused and aware of his surroundings and situation, being able to quickly assess something and then formulate a plan against it, including his teammates into his strategy as he does so. While his concentration in battle doesn't often get shook by his enemies, he can go into an agitated state if one of his teammates doesn't act properly in the team.
Powers and Abilities[]
Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: Being both a pure melee specialist as well as the 3rd Seated Officer in his division, Eiji displays a tremendously great skill in the Zankensoki art of Zanjutsu, being able to aptly deal with many a threat with his swordsmanship skills alone without the need of any other skills at all. Eiji's skill in Zanjutsu is so great that he has developed a sub-branch of the art in order to facilitate his Shikai's form, focusing on techniques which are meant to deliver blunt force trauma moreso that cutting power. Hakuda Practitioner: As a Third Seat, Eiji has leaned the basic techniques to the Zankensoki art of Hakuda, being able to fight and hold his own against opponents without the need of any weapon at all. His skill in hand to hand combat isn't as well honed as his Zanjutsu is, but he is still able to subdue foes with his bare hands, utilising quick strikes to wear down his opponent before finishing them off with more powerful blows. Kidō Expert: Having trained in the art of Kidō extensively, Eiji has been able to achieve a great amount of skill in the magical Zankensoki art, being able to swiftly cast low to mid level spells without any need for incantations while being able to use higher level spells along with their respective incantations. Shunpo Expert: Having spent a great part of his life as a Shinigami, Eiji has developed his abilities in Hohō and more specifically, Shunpo, do an expert level, being able to travel great distances in mere seconds for a sustained period of time without tiring. He uses his skill in the art in order to travel quickly and to close in on his opponents and confuse them while in combat. |
High Intellect: Eiji, being what many would consider a tried and true team leader, has a great deal of knowledge in multiple areas, stretching from topics which coincide with physical activities such as biology and physical education to more mentally stimulating tasks such as strategy planning and technological topics. Above Average Strength: Due to him being a spiritual being and a Shinigami, Eiji naturally has an increased level of strength, however, his training and experience in the field has helped him raised his physical abilities even more, allowing Eiji to perform strong and powerful attack with relative ease. High Spiritual Power: As a seated officer of the Gotei 13, Eiji boasts of a high level of Spiritual Power, it's strength being equal to that of his peers who are of a similar rank to him. Eiji's Reiatsu is a burgundy in colour. |
Fushoku (腐食, Corrosion) When sealed, Eiji's Zanpakutō appears to be a typical Katana with a plain, oval tsuba along with a brown coloured hilt, additionally, Eiji's Zanpakutō bears longer tassels than typical Zanpakutō.
Shikai Special Ability: As an Earth/melee type Zanpakutō, Eiji's Shikai performs it's best in close quarters combat, on account of it having no range capabilities at all. Eiji's Zanpakutō, being a bludgeoning weapon, isn't able to deal any cutting damage and instead relies on blunt force trauma to damage foes, being able to deal a fair amount of concussive damage with a sufficiently strong strike. However, Eiji's Shikai's main ability is to petrify his opponents with his weapon, Eiji is able to charge his weapon before striking his enemy, which then causes the area that was struck by his Shikai to turn into stone, this area is then unable to be moved and carries all of the properties of rock for a limited period of time, after which it will return to it's normal state if left undamaged. |
