{Physical Appearance Description}Kensei's body is a canvas of scars, bearing witness to his countless battles throughout the ages. From slash marks on his arms and torso to blunt impact scars on his chest, each mark tells a story of the challenges he has faced and overcome. His arms and torso are crisscrossed with slash scars, each telling a story of a deadly encounter with a formidable opponent. Some of the scars are long and jagged, while others are shallow and faint, but each one serves as a reminder of the challenges he has faced and the foes he has overcome.

One particular scar on his left arm stands out - a deep gash that runs from his shoulder to his wrist, a memento from a fierce battle against a powerful Hollow that nearly cost him his life. Another scar on his chest, shaped like a crescent moon, bears witness to a near-fatal encounter with a rogue Shinigami who turned against the Soul Society. Each scar carries its own significance, representing a moment of failure or triumph in Kensei's long and storied history as a warrior.

Despite the scars, Kensei's body has somewhat remained in peak physical condition. Kensei's body used to be a testament to his physical prowess and dedication to combat training. His muscular physique was well-defined, showcasing his strength, agility, and endurance. His broad shoulders and chiseled arms were a result of years of intense training and battles fought. His chest and back were well-sculpted, reflecting his physical resilience and durability in the face of adversaries. His legs were powerful and nimble, allowing him to move with speed and grace on the battlefield. However, his physique has long since dwindled with both age and inactivity.

Kensei's athleticism is evident in his movements, which are precise and fluid, even now in his age. His body language exudes confidence and control, reflecting remnants of his mastery of martial arts and swordsmanship. He moves with purpose and efficiency, wasting no energy in unnecessary actions. His physicality was a key asset in battle, allowing him to react swiftly and tactically to changing situations back in his prime. However, the strength that his muscles had once held has waned over time, immensely so.

Kensei's face bears the marks of a life well-lived, with numerous wrinkled lines that crisscross his forehead, around his eyes, and on his cheeks. These lines are etched deep into his skin, telling the story of years of battles and hardships he has endured. Each line reflects a moment of intense concentration, a furrowed brow during a fierce battle, or a stoic resolve in the face of danger. They add depth and character to his expression, giving him a weathered and seasoned look that hints at the wisdom and experience that comes with age.

Kensei's long, spiky white hair is one of his most distinctive features. It flows down to his back, reaching almost to his waist, and is in stark contrast against his pale, ashen skin. The harsh white color of his hair is a result of the years spent fighting for the Soul Society and reflects his unwavering commitment to the betterment of the Soul Society. His hair seems to have a life of its own, often swaying gently even when there is no breeze, as if it's in tune with the natural flow of wind around him.

Similarly, Kensei's chest-length beard is also white, giving him a distinguished and mature appearance. His beard is well-groomed and neatly trimmed, adding to his overall air of wisdom and experience. It frames his face, drawing attention to his intense gaze and chiseled features. His beard is also a reflection of his commitment to his family and the reputation that they once had, symbolizing his dedication to the ideal of nobility that he had hoped to uphold in conjunction with his numerous grandchildren, before their deaths.

Kensei's skin tone is pale and ashen, greying slowly over the years. It's as if the battles he has fought and the wounds he has endured have left a mark on his skin, lending him an otherworldly and ethereal appearance. The pallor of his skin contrasts starkly against his harsh white hair and dark robes, making him stand out in a crowd. His ashen skin adds to his enigmatic and unique persona. The pale hue of his skin may also serve as a reminder of the sacrifices he has made and the burdens he carries, further deepening his complexities.

One of Kensei's most striking features is his eyes, black as night itself. They are sharp, piercing, and seem to hold a world of intensity within them. When he looks at someone, his gaze is unwavering and penetrating, as if he can see right through them. His eyes are a reflection of his unwavering focus and determination, revealing a deep sense of resolve and a keen sense of perception. Kensei's intense gaze can be unnerving to those who meet his eyes, as they convey a sense of fearlessness and authority.

His eyes seem to size up others with a calculating precision, assessing their strengths and weaknesses with a keen eye. It's as if his gaze alone can convey a silent challenge, daring others to stand against him in battle. Kensei's eyes are a window into his indomitable spirit and unyielding willpower, leaving a lasting impression on those who meet his gaze. Yet, those who dare stare further within will see a broken soul, weathered and beaten through a myriad of tragedies throughout his numerous lifetimes.

Despite his rugged appearance, Kensei's demeanor exudes a sense of distinction and nobility. He carries himself with an air of grace and poise, showcasing his years of experience as a warrior. His posture is always erect, his movements deliberate and purposeful. He has a commanding presence, and his practiced confidence commands respect from those around him.

Kensei's attire speaks to his practicality and battle-hardened nature. His Shihakusho, the traditional garb of a Shinigami, shows signs of frequent use and wear. The fabric is faded and frayed in some places, a testament to the countless battles he has fought. There are patches and stitches where it has been mended from damage sustained in combat, showcasing his resourcefulness and determination to keep fighting.

Kensei's robes are dark grey, reflecting his somber mood and inner turmoil. The color choice also serves to conceal the scars that mar his body, as he feels shame and regret about them. The robes hang loosely on his frame, allowing for ease of movement in battle, and are fastened securely with a simple yet sturdy sash. He eschews any unnecessary adornments or embellishments, as he values functionality and efficiency above all else.

His Zanpakuto, Kamikaze no Tatsu, is always kept at his side in a sheath, which shows signs of wear and tear from being drawn and sheathed countless times in the heat of battle. The hilt is wrapped in well-worn leather, providing a comfortable grip and showing the marks of his firm grasp during combat. The blade itself is gleaming and sharp, a testament to Kensei's meticulous care and maintenance of his weapon, despite its battle-weary appearance.

Kensei's outward appearance radiates an unwavering sense of resilience and inner strength. It's as if he carries an invisible shield of determination and perseverance that surrounds him, creating an aura that draws people towards him. His scars, instead of being seen as signs of weakness, are viewed as symbols of his tenacity and resilience in the face of adversity.

  {Mundane Inconveniences}

This distaste has only grown over the years, as his advanced age has made him even more temperamental.

  {Honorable Combat} Kensei values honorable combat above all else. He enjoys engaging in battles where his opponent fights with skill, courage, and integrity. Kensei believes that true warriors should uphold the principles of bushido, the way of the samurai, and engage in fair and honorable duels that test their skill and resolve. He believes that true nobility would find value in understanding honor. This does not mean that he always fights honorably, however. It only means that he finds shame within himself when he fights without it.

  {Mastery of the Sword}Kensei has dedicated his life to mastering the art of the sword. He takes great pleasure in the pursuit of perfection in his swordsmanship, constantly seeking to improve his technique, speed, and precision. He enjoys the feeling of wielding a finely crafted katana with grace and skill, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with mastering the way of the sword. It also helps to know that his Zanpakuto, the reflection of his soul, also takes the shape of a sword. To him, this meant that mastering the blade was tantamount to mastering the soul.

• SPOILER: Click to show

Kensei believes that a calm and focused mind is essential to mastering the way of the warrior, and he finds great pleasure in the serenity and clarity that meditation and Zen philosophy bring. For the past few hundred years however, the lure of meditation and self reflection had only caused more pain. Internalization had only let the tragedies seep into the present once more. He couldn't allow that.
• SPOILER: Click to show
