[tweak]

GOTO, KASUMI ASUKA FULL NAME: Kasumi Asuka Goto AGE: seven hundred and thirteen GENDER: female SOUL TYPE: Shinigami RANK: Captain - Taicho DIVISION: 2nd APPEARANCE HEIGHT five feet and six inches WEIGHT one hundred and thirty pounds OVERALL APPEARANCE Kasumi has the appearance of a woman in her early twenties despite the fact she is over seven hundred years old. She has a fair skin complexion with light superficial scarring as a result of her many years of battle. She possesses a toned slender build. Her hair is naturally black but dyes her hair violet blue as is her preference. Her hair is kept short and Kasumi often places an origami flower in her hair. She has dark brown almond shaped eyes and a lip piercing. She also has a tattoo on her right shoulder. In terms of attire Kasumi wears the Onimitsukido Uniform which she designed herself. The uniform consists of and black bodysuit (which Kasumi and cut the lower legs off of), black gloves and tabi. However Kasumi substitutes her tabi with black heels when not on assignment. Over the bodysuit Kasumi wears a white light armor vest and forearm guards. She also has a set of three kunai knives attached to a belt around her waist. Over this is her Captain’s Haori which is different from other captains in the Gotei 13. Instead of black and white, Kasumi’s haori is black and red. The color difference is due to her position as the Head of the Onmitsukido, the black representing the shadows that the organization works in and the red symbolizing the blood spilled on behalf of the Seireitei. PERSONALITY Kasumi Asuka Goto is a woman with a strong sense of duty and determination. She will stop at nothing to see her job done and will let no one stand in her way. She is a stoic woman, rarely if ever allowing her face to reveal her true emotions or any emotion for that matter. She can be very cold and even cruel. She is willing to make large sacrifices for the sake of a greater good. To this end no one is truly safe from her scheming and brand of amoral justice. Kasumi is very secretive due to the spy network she has created which spans the Spirit as well as the Human worlds. It takes a long time for a person to get close to Kasumi. Despite her apathy at times, Kasumi a compassionate lady. She cares for her fellow Shinigami and would rather not see them slaughtered. However Kasumi creates and maintains distance from all around her so as to protect herself from emotional attachment to individuals whom could one day become pawns or even targets in her day to day activities. She is an intelligent woman with a great understanding of the Soul Society and even some working knowledge of the human world. She has a very meticulous nature. Everything must be performed just right at the right time or else a single missed step could shatter the world as it is known. For this very reason Kasumi has merged Onmitsukido into the 2nd Division and made it her own. She sees to the training of those under her personally and takes it seriously. Kasumi loves to read, as reading is the one true gateway to learning new things. She is also a very active participant in people-watching. She will monitor the comings and goings of unsuspecting Shinigami for hours. This hobby while truthfully something Kasumi enjoys, is another means for her to gather intel as well as develop multiple personas in order to mold herself to suit an assignment. Since she was a little girl Kasumi had a big competitive streak and her favorite means for competition is foot racing. Even now Kasumi likes to hold races among her fellow Shinigami. Other things Kasumi likes are chocolate and origami. When she’s under intense stress from her usual work she will take time away from everything and retreat to her barracks and simply fold paper into a variety of flowers animals and even weapons. In battle Kasumi’s apathetic nature come full swing. Only one thing matters in a fight, victory. How a battle is won matters little so long as she’s still standing. If she is on the losing side she would much rather be killed than kept alive or taken prisoner.

ZANPAKUTŌ ZANPAKUTŌ NAME Seisoku Yami - Living Darkness ► ZANPAKUTŌ SPIRIT In shikai Seisoku Yami takes the appearance of a black armored humanoid creature . She possesses a similar stature to Kasumi but with many strikingly different features. Seisoku Yami has long flowing red hair and piercing red eyes. She wears a long black cape with a crimson lining. Her face is largely obscured by an armored cowl revealing only her blood red lips. In bankai, Oukoku no Seisoku Yami appears completely different than its shikai form. Its a massive demonic creature made of shadows. It has large horns protruding form its head and a fearsome visage complete with seven large round red eyes and a sharp toothy maw. The creature is roughly twelve feet tall and has three pairs of wings. Her hands and feet are clawed and it has a spiked tail. Personality Cold, brooding and melancholy Seisoku Yami is a dark yet fiercely loyal beast. She is also very deceptive, in fact it holds back as much information it can from Kasumi. The creature is typically seen perched upon a spire or balcony or otherwise spotted gliding through the skies of its inner world. The creature knows that it is an intimidating one and likes to test this fact with Kasumi. It often attacks her or flexes its muscles for a reaction. While it likes to make attempts to bully Kasumi it does care for its master and openly lends its strength to her when asked. The spirit has a weakness for vanity and loves to be out in the open. It hates when Kasumi conceals it within a parasol and always berates her for doing so. Seisoku Yami loves to hide in darkness. Seisoku Yami also likes to talk with Kasumi and often attempts to be a voice of reason when he's lost her mind. Inner World The world of Seisoku Yami is one of darkness. The sky is pitch black save for the moon. The moon's light fall directly upon a massive Victorian castle of which Seisoku Yami can always been seen perched upon or flying about. leafless trees flanking both sides of this massive castle and a single path of gravel extends from the castles's main door out into a dark abyss of shadow. Within the castle the floors are black marble and the walls are cold brick. The castle is lit by candlelight. The castle possesses many large empty rooms with the centerpiece of the gloomy estate being the throne room. The ceiling of the throne room has a hole in it which Seisoku Yami uses as an entrance or exit. The throne room is much like the rest of the world; dimly lit and massive. The throne itself is made of black marble with red velvet serving as the cushion. ► SEALED STATE Seisoku Yami typically takes the appearance as a black katana with a hilt wrapped in red cord. When Kasumi seeks to conceal it from the world in plain sight he opts to hide Seisoku Yami in the shaft of a parasol. ► RELEASE PRASE Jousei - Proliferate ► SHIKAI After the kaigo is stated Seisoku Yami transforms before the eyes of those able to witness. The katana melts into a black liquid that covers Kasumi's right hand, wrist and forearm. The liquid then solidifies and takes the shape of Seisoku Yami's Shikai. In Shikai, Seisoku Yami takes the appearance of a spiked gauntlet. The weapon has an ornate design which features feathers as the motif. In addition to the engraved feather design, the gauntlet possesses spikes on each side that are shapes like wings and are sharp at the tips. Outside of shadow manipulation the gauntlet itself is still a formidable weapon for Hakuda combat. It can also serve as a defensive weapon in addition to its obvious basic offensive capability Seibatsu no Kuragari - Subjucation of Darkness This ability activates upon the activation of shikai. With this ability Kasumi can animate any shadow within Seisoku Yami's area of affect. This allows her to create weapons, defenses and other constructs of preexisting shadow. This is done by touching the shadow with Seisoku Yami's gauntlet. Once the gauntlet makes contact with a shadow Kasumi is free to use it as she wishes. She can also absorb a shadow into the gauntlet for later use. The obvious drawback to this ability is that the presence of light limits Seisoku Yami's ability to function by casting away shadows for Kasumi to manipulate. However on the the same token, light can in turn cast more shadows in populated areas. It should be noted that Kasumi has greater control over shadows and can create more intricate objects when she's making physical contact with a shadow. When using absorbed shadows her constructs and other items are weaker. Her zanpakuto can only contain one mass of shadow at a time. However the rate in which the shadow is used depends on the ability it is used on. One shadow is equal to two Wall of the Void uses. The same holds true for Path of Shadow. Seisoku Yami can produce three Shadow Weapons with one absorbed shadow mass. Hei no Garandou - Wall of the Void This ability allows Kasumi to draw shadows into the shape of a wall which can serve as a defensive barrier from attack or to simply obscure an opponent’s vision. To do this Kasumi has to place her right hand upon a shadow and reshape it into the desired shape. This ability can be done without touching a shadow if Kasumi absorbs a shadow into the gauntlet beforehand. The wall is roughly 2-3 meters wide and 1.8 meters tall. If using an absorbed shadow she can make a meter wide wall. The height of these walls is retained even with absorbed shadow however they are much weaker as the way is stretched in favor of surface area rather than thickness and durability. Keiro no Kage - Path of Shadow This ability allows Kasumi to travel from one plane of shadow to another so long as she is touching a shadow with her right hand. She can also use this ability to transport other objects via these shadows. This ability can be done without touching a shadow if Kasumi absorbs a shadow into the gauntlet beforehand. However in using absorbed shadows Kasumi's travelling distance is greatly reduced and she can't transport objects larger than a person. The maximum distance Kasumi can travel via shadow is 15 meters when touching a shadow. However she can only travel 5 meters when using an absorbed shadow. Kagebuki - Shadow Weapon Much like all of Seisoku Yami's abilities this one requires that the gauntlet touches a shadow in order for it to work. However in contrast to the other abilties this one allows Kasumi to actually pick up a shadow and shape it into a weapon (commonly a katana or chains) and use it in battle. All weapons created by Kagebuki are the average size they would be normally (katanas are the size of katanas, etc). This can also be accomplished with absorbed shadow. While still touching a shadow Kasumi can produce multiple tendrils of shadow that can be used to attack an opponent or restrain them. She can maintain these tendrils by lifting the shadows and keeping them in her grip and still attached to the larger source of shadow. So long as she holds the shadow in her hands she may manipulate the shadows at will. A single tendril is no wider than the blade of a katana with a maximum of five being created at once. She can create up to five weapons at once but rarely goes beyond two. ► BANKAI While uttering the release phrase for Oukoku no Seisoku Yami, Kasumi punches the ground with her right hand. Once contact is made with the ground the gauntlet transforms into a black liquid once again and splashes onto the ground. The liquid grows and spreads out over the floor around Kasumi before it erupts from the ground as if someone cannon balled into the black puddle. This black mass of liquid obstructs the view of those that may be watching until the liquid falls back to the ground. At this point the figure of Kasumi can be made out as her bankai is formed creating its armor. Any liquid remaining is absorbed back into Kasumi's armor completing her bankai. The appearance of Oukoku no Seisoku Yami is that of an extremely elaborate suit of onyx colored armor complete with multiple sets of wings on the back, arms and legs of the armor The armor appears and acts as steel but is actually made of shadows Shousho no Kageouja - Decree of the Shadow Queen This ability is a much more effective and powerful version of Seibatsu no Kuragari. In Bankai, Kasumi no longer needs to make use of preexisting shadows to make use of them for battle. She can create and manipulate her own shadows with her own reiatsu. She can further feed her shadow manipulation powers by absorbing existing shadows into her armor. Oukoku no Seisoku Yami's current ability to create and manipulate shadows is always on display for both its user and her enemy to gauge. The multiple masses of wings are actually representations of Oukoku no Seisoku Yami's capability to create and manipulate shadows of its own will. In regards to the storage of shadows this is displayed by the number of wings present on the back of the armor of Oukoku no Seisoku Yami. While decorative they are essentially storage tanks. With these wings Kasumi is able to absorb more shadows and work independent of the area around her. At maximum Oukoku no Seisoku Yami possesses six large wings. Each wing contains a mass of shadow that covers a 10 meter radius. As Kasumi's reiatsu weakens or through over exertion the number of wings lowers. Oukoku no Seisoku Yami can only replenish its shadow reserves and thus the wings one of two ways. The first and foremost being Kasumi's own replenishment of reiryoku via rest or reishi transfer. The secondary and more commonly used method is through absorption of any existing shadow via physical contact. Finally it should be noted that while the six back wings are the ones that are crucial to the bankai, Kasumi exploits the fact that the armor possess wings practically all over the armor. This allows her to deceive opponents in case one starts to catch on to this crucial mechanic of her bankai. Kagetou - Shadow Servants With this ability Kasumi can create independent thinking and acting clones of herself out of the shadows by expelling a black liquid from her body which then reforms as a clone of herself. These clones are able to attack just as Kasumi herself can. She can only create as many clones as her reishi allows which is at maximum six (one per wing). Despite the clones being made of shadows they cannot be transformed by Kasumi to be used for her zanpakuto's other abilities. Only after the clone is destroyed can Kasumi re-purpose the shadow. The clone is especially weak in that one blow is enough to destroy it however in doing all shadow that was used to create the clone is once again released on to the battlefield in the form of a black outline of shadow. As the shadow wasn't destroyed Kasumi can re-absorb the shadow to replenish her reserves. Since the clones are now destroyed when they are hit Kasumi can reuse their shadow masses for use with her Karagari no Tsurugi. However their strength is notable weaker (they are half as strong as a fully forged Karagari no Tsurugi) as they are made of recycled shadows. Kasumi must wait two posts before reusing this ability. Karagari no Tsurugi - Longsword of Darkness An upgraded form of Kagebuki allows Kasumi to forge weapons from shadow. These weapons can come from preexisting shadow or from Oukoku no Seisoku Yami itself. These weapons contain strength equivalent to Kasumi's reiryoku which allows her to actively battle with the weapons so long as she has the strength to do so. The shape of the weapons are merely limited by Kasumi's imagination but are rarely take forms aside from katana, chains, tendrils, axes, hammers and spears. As with the shikai version these weapons are the average size one expects these weapons to be. Kasumi can create at maximum five of any given weapon type or a combination of them. Teiza no Karagari - Imperial Throne of Darkness The most critical and prevelant ability is the Imperial Throne of Darkness. The ability works with the surface area of Kasumi's own shadow. The ability allows Kasumi to make use of her own shadow for any ability executable by her bankai or shikai. Should he choose to Kasumi can expand her shadow to cover a radius of 10 meters per wing used to expand it. At the maximum Kasumi can use all of her wings. Kasumi can expand her shadow's surface area to 60 meters. The expansion of her shadow's surface area allows her to extend the overall range and magnitude in which she can use a given ability. A larger shadow means a larger wall or portal to traverse through another shadow to. It also allows her to absorb multiple shadows in a given moment which helps in replenishing her wings and ability to fight. The ability lasts so long as Kasumi herself is casting a shadow. So long as she has her own shadow Teiza no Karagrai is active. However expanding her shadow does tax her reiryoku. The shadow expansion lasts for a post per wing. However Kasumi must wait two posts per wing before attempting to expand her shadow once again due to the abilities exhaustive nature. HISTORY Kasumi Asuka Goto was born into the Goto Clan. This family was known for its association to a band of assassins known as Boshoku, The group was highly skilled and carried out many top secret missions throughout the many districts of Rukongai, Kasumi was born into the life of an assassin. She was trained at an early age to defend herself. The Goto family was highly skilled in martial arts. Kasumi spent much of her early life training to fight. Through her training Kasumi became a highly skilled assassin and spy. She became one of Boshoku’s top warriors due to her own latent ability to manipulate reiryoku to augment her abilities primarily her speed. Through her experimentation came the creation of the shunpo technique which became a signature move for Kasumi earning her the nickname Kurokaze or Black Wind. Kasumi’s fame grew with her mastery of Shunpo. She eventually became head of the Goto clan and leader of Boshoku. Soon mysterious reports of fearsome beings called hollows surfaced. Kasumi lead Boshoku on various campaigns to clear away hollows from the districts of Rukongai. Many of her people died in service to the citizens. With the numbers of Boshoku dwindling Kasumi had begun to lose hope. She dismantled boshoku and became an independent contractor. She took on missions to kill hollows and to otherwise serve her fellow man. she received a contract from a mysterious individual asking her to join the cause of twelve other brave souls. Kasumi accepted and joined what later became known as the Gotei 13. Through their exploits the group were dubbed as Shinigami. Kasumi learned from her fellow ‘death gods’ and in return pass on her knowledge of shunpo. The group proved powerful against the hollows but their combined might was nothing in the face of ‘her’. A shinigami in a league of her own. The fierce woman that wielded their power but betrayed their cause. Kasumi made it her mission to track down and kill the traitor. They eventually caught up with her but could not kill her. The thirteen would settle for merely sealing the traitor and Kasumi volunteered to ensure it was there she would forever rot. Soon after the group would build the Seireitei and expand their organization. The Gotei 13 flourished and Kasumi took control of her own branch, the 2nd Division of as the members of the division know it the Onmitsukido (Stealth Force). While she remained loyal to the Gotei’s cause the betrayal they suffered from one of their own left a lasting impression upon Kasumi. None con be fully trusted. She molded the 2nd Division into a secretive covert ops organization. It maintained the prison, performed assassinations, and other forms of espionage. She formed the training regimen that all members undergo I order to serve as capable assassins. Kasumi recruited from all divisions and districts and indoctrinate the recruits to serve her first and formost. She fine tuned her own skills; learning to master her shikai and attaining bankai. She even took it upon herself to learn the newly developed Kido so as to never be caught of guard by future traitors. She weaved her spy network and deployed agents across the Soul Society and even the human world. Now Kasumi has a widespread array of Shinigami at her command ready to act as the secret line of defense for the seireitei. She herself has become commited to this cause. Currently, Kasumi runs the Onmitsukido and serves as the Hakuda instructor at the Academy.
