Infinite Cosmos — Roleplayer Guild

It seems as if Kyoichi had dozed off literally mid-shunpo. How does one do that, you ask? Well, even Kyoichi himself doesn't know. In any case, he found himself lay atop one of the roofs of Squad Nine. "Ah...I swear I might be narcoleptic. I wonder where Koyoshi is right now...and Granny is still out an about.. She sure is taking a long walk today...I hope she isn't at my barracks...otherwise.." A very inhuman chill ran down his spine. Last time he ditched out on official work, the Head Captain made him literally do all the paperwork from all 13 squads, captain's and lieutenants' both. Of course he finished it. However, by the end of it, his hands might have fallen off a little.

He stood up and stretched about, sensing all the reiatsu floating around. "Hm, seems like a gathering of dense reiatsu... I wonder if I should go join them or just drink the rest of the day away... Lets see who is all there..." He focused a bit more, separating the muddled pool of reiatsu into specific strands. "Hm... Captain Miho...Koyoshi......someone that I can't readily identify...Oh...and just the Head Captain as well...uh....." He summoned a soul butterfly, whispering his message into it...

"Head Captain Murakami, Captain Miho, Koyoshi, greetings. This is Kuroda of Squad Five. It seems like you guys are having a small gathering of sorts. Mind letting a oaf of a man like myself join?"

At the end of his words, the sent the butterfly fluttering off towards its intended recipient.

Personality: If ever there was someone who is first heard then seen, Kyoichi would be it. Boisterous and carefree, Kyoichi walks his path with absolute certainty. He carries about him an air of arrogance, a sense of trust first and foremost in himself. Slightly insane, he will dive head first into any challenging situation before assessing his chances of success. All of those traits aside, he is quite joyous, often found joking and chatting idly with anyone he meets. Strong willed, he is not easily discouraged. All in all, Kyoichi is the neighborhood jokester who likes to enjoy whatever his life has to offer him, just take whatever he says with a grain of salt.

History: Every year for as long as Kyoichi can remember, there has been a ceremony held by his immediate family revolving around a sword. To him, at his young age, it just look like a blue piece of metal held up on a shrine. He simply did what he was told and then enjoyed the food his mother and grandmother took literally hours and hours to prepare. His father and grandfather carried out intricate rituals to cleanse and polish the sword, something Kyoichi was taught to do ever since he started taking part in the ceremony...

Other than that, Kyoichi carried on with school, joining any club that seeming interesting to him. Sports, literary, debate, his choices were quite diverse as he found many things to be of interest to him. His grades did not suffer because of his incessant need to find new things and unending curiosity for new subjects. 

His fifteenth birthday rolled around. He finally got his chance to at least hold the sacred sword his family has enshrined for as long as he can remember. When the ceremony came to pass, everything changed. His grandfather instructed him to retrieve the sword and unsheathe it for the cleansing and polishing that was done each year. When he did as he was told, a burst of blue and orange energy poured out from the sword and was absorbed by Kyoichi. Kyoichi himself did not see it or feel it, however, everyone else around him saw it happen in what seemed like slow motion. His grandfather remembers a story told to him by his grandfather about the prophecy around the sword. One day, a child born of his roots will be able to call on the spirit that resides in the sword and carry out his sacred task. After the event, his grandfather asked Kyoichi to sheathe the sword and they moved the shrine to his room and it was kept there until the day he left for Bugei Academy.

Getting into the academy was not a huge problem as his family has ties with a powerful family from antiquity. It helped that Kyoichi had top of the notch grades and loads of extracurricular experience. On the day he was leaving, his grandfather retrieve the sacred sword personally and handed it to him, telling him about the story around the sword. He then asked him, as a final command regarding the sword, to keep the sword safe at all times and learn to use it to its fullest. Accepting the task, Kyoichi set off to start his secondary education at Bugei Academy.

One year after that, he was struck with a terrible, and odd disease. Unknown and incurable, it took him very quickly. For some reason, he felt as if his family knew of this. They did not try as hard as they could to bring him back, instead, they just let him pass. 

Arriving at Soul Society, he met up with his ancestors, who were all shinigamis before him, all the way up to the patriarch, Kuroda Kenshin. One afternoon, Kenshin sat the young Kyoichi down and explained everything to him. The disease that took him was in fact hereditary, and was called Tainted Soul. Kenshin was the first to be afflicted with this, and he told him the story of his first...outburst. He also told him why his grandfather's name is Sengoku, and the reasoning behind it all. 

Now that he is here, Kenshin expects his fourth generation descendent to join a proper squad and be a productive member of the Gotei 13.
