Physical Description: [one could not easily describe Kojiro as a pleasant man. certainly he has all the features that a man should have to be pleasing to the eye, he should by any assumption of his features be one of the most beautiful people in all of soul society, and yet no matter how one tries to describe him, it is always, wrong. Kojiro Kasumi'oji is distuinguished from every life in the soul society, certainly he is one of a kind, nobody could ever mistake his face for anyone else. Kojiro Kasumi'oji is not pleasing, because Kojiro is perfect, and perfection breeds resentment. Kojiro Kasumi'oji is the incarnation the uncanny valley.

Skin like fresh fallen snow, perfect porcelain, unmarred by line, wrinkle, or blemish, flawless, without marking, and without hair, without texture. at a glance it should look perfect, but there is always and forever that eternal sense of slight and mild Wrongness. every lingering second on him there is yet another sense of wrong. his fists do no crease his skin, his smile does not pull at the cheeks, as if smooth fluid, never a ripple or fold or crease, there is no texturing to his knuckles, his palms have no lines, his cuticals are perfect crescents and his nails are perfect ovals, close enough to see the texture of skin, the patterns of the human body do not exist, even his fingers have no prints. Kojiro is perfect, his skin is without flaw, and it is WRONG. even pale it may be, there is no hair outside his head, there is no sign of his veins.

but he smiles, his perfect smooth lips, his perfect straight teeth, smooth, glassy, a perfect curve, the line of his bitemark is a flawless half-ring, with perfect square shaped incisors, perfect conical canines, perfect cubed bicuspids, perfect molars, with four perfect cusps in perfect symmetry, a perfect symmetrical smile, and it does not tug on his skin or fold his cheeks, and it is unnatural. but he expresses, and as wrong as it is, it cannot help but feel genuine, and that sense of wrongness makes every expression discomfiting, happiness  projects mania or malice, rage projects murder, sadness projects hysteria, every expression is wrong without the subtle aid of the flaws in the face, an expression can be only the emotion itself. even his tongue lacks a frenulum, and its perfect smooth surface continues to add to the LACK of comfort. a human without the unseemly or unsightly is not beautiful, they are wrong. and his tongue, comfort that he takes in it, is the one imperfect thing. it is long, and thick, and red, red, red. his thick and slimy tongue is the one thing to mar his otherwise flawless body, bifurcated into two long appendages of the mouth by his own effort, and yet to mar his efforts to break themself they have healed without scar, two perfectly symmetrical tendrils of flesh lying in wait in his mouth.

but perhaps his hair? cut uneven, cut by the neck, framing his perfect angle jaw, this too is wrong. uneven and cut, it rests in perfect thick, smooth layers, a flawless golden blonde, not a split end, not a sign of damage, if one was plucked from his head and analyzed his hair has no texture, his hair seems to not be cut but simply to have simply ceased to be connected. the uneven cut, the layering leaves it awkward, always shifting against itself by its own weight that it cannot grip on itself. in the wind it moves wrong, flaring up against the air, twisting and turning against the path it should rightly take. his hair is perfect but it behaves wrong. so much is wrong the longer you look. his eyebrows are singular thin lines, packed too tightly to seem as anything but a strip of soft silk on his face

he should be beautiful, those eyes should be kind, they should be pleasing, they should be beautiful but they are nothing. eye contact shows that even these are wrong. like a doll, like an image of a man. his sclera show not a single blood vessel, just perfect glossy white orbs, his eyelids make no crease, when open they seem as if his eyelid is not folded into the recess of the skull, but that it simply submerged into the skin, they do not fold as eyelids should. his iris posesses no structures, just perfect blue rings in his skull, around a pupil with no depth, just flat black. they narrow and give the impression of malice, the eyes dilate open wide and show mania,if he does not contract or expand the eye it seems to lack feeling behind them all, a golem merely feigning emotion.



his face can only bely the intensity of emotions, subtlety of human expression is not his priveledgge and so he may show ecstasy, delight, mania, panic, fury, sorrow. he may lament, he may exuberate, he may rage, but without this intensity, he seems a man without feeling. but the smooth angular lines of his jaw should be attractive, where instead they are discomfitting, his chin is the perfect rounded structure, not pointed, not bulbous, a smooth and flawless transition from jaw to chin, to mouth, once again to the mouth, his philtrum, the dip of the mouth above the lips is gone. his nose holds a perfect 90 degree angle from the tip to the top, and a perfect angle from the tip to the top of the lips. long and straight, the nostrils do not flare out, the tip has no bulb to it. you cannot describe a perfect nose because the descriptors are themselves imperfections. his face should be FLAWLESS from a purely rational analysis of human attractiveness, and yet it lacks the humanity. the element that gives it life. he should be beautiful. but he is perfect, and he is WRONG.


a perfect neck, neither thick nor slender, no adams apple, no tendons, no double chin, no fat whatsoever. it meets his perfect sculpted shoulders, his broad chest, toned stomach, and slender waist, his body is the golden ratio. perfect proportions, 1.6 times his shoulders are the width of his waist, his biceps, triceps, forearms, and wrists are perfect toned muscles, but the bone of his elbow is rounded, the nobs of his wrist are absent at a glance. he has what should be the perfect ratio, but he is a model of a man, not an ideal man. a flawless six pack. tight. solid muscles, with a firm and shallow but gentle give. his body is not large, it is defined, it is lean. his perfect 6'4 height, his perfect 204 pound weight. nobody is perfect. and he does not seem real. does not seem natural. and so he is a mannequin of a muscular man.

His attire is always flawless. tailored to match its owner. if he must deign to enter the human world, he has his favorite suit. favoring simplicity of design but bold coloration, and confident fabrics. a tailored fit to his body is the ideal and the norm. a velvet tyrian purple blazer, sat upon a  royal blue dress shirt, silken royal blue dress pants, and a splash of Orange-gold for a tie. solid simple gold cufflinks and buttons. perfectly polished black dress shoes with a mirror shine, and a crimson leather belt with a brass buckle. within his duties as Commander of the Kido Corps he wears the basic shinigami uniform, but even this is tailored to his needs. rarely putting the shirt upon himself, preferring to wear only the pants, and over his upper body the robes of the Kido Corps commander. modified to emlbaze the lotus of the clan upon his back within the ring of the kido corp sigil. upon his chest, to his left shoulder, the lotus, emblazed in gold, to his right, the symbol of the corp emblazed in silver. 


a man of failed beauty, and innate wrongness to gaze upon, a man of fine taste. Kojiro Kasumi'oji is the head of the clan, and it is his Reiatsu that completes the ensemble. he himself always smells of perfumes and fine colognes, but his aura overpowers, the smell of old forest, and older books, the sensation of a lively place now empty, liminal and uncomfortable. his aura produces no flavor to experience, but something like the aftertaste of water, as if you had just drank something a moment ago. To experience his reiatsu is not overwhelming as one would expect from a captain. but it is crushing. to stand before the Lotus emperor is to feel the crushing weight of days. to feel every joint ache with age, to feel the soreness of your muscles after a long week of overtime, to feel every moment passing like the seconds dragging by on a day without activity. to face the lotus emperor, head of the kasumi'oji clan, commander of the kido corps, is to feel the weight of eternity finally begin to bear down on you all at once. drifting afterimages fill the area when the grey fog descends upon the field, snapshot moments playing out of moments years ago, the day before, and decades from now, to see time laid bare before you.






-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Personality-

Dislikes:

1. Layabouts: there is nothing to be proud of in the act of doing less than you are able. The Lotus Emperor does not expect perfection in others, he does not expect you to burn yourself out, to do more than you are able, or even to push yourself to your limit at every possible moment, but there is something which deeply and personally offends him by those who knowingly and intentionally attempt to waste their time away, to put in even less than the minimal effort. He has little but contempt for those who attempt to shirk their duties, their responsibilities, or simply minor tasks. If you have strength, it is your right, your privledge, and your obligation to use it to accomplish whatever you can. Kojiro could never imagine intentionally passing off the work he has upon his shoulders simply for the sake of not expending the effort, furthermore he has trouble even understanding it, he well comprehends the idea of effeciency, of expending the minimal energy to accomplish a task, but to truly and actively avoid effort itself is irritating beyond his wits.
   
   
2. Paperwork: a stark contrast to his otherwise incredible work ethic, Kojiro simply... abhors the endless red tape, the forms, the reports, the requisitions. The idea of logistical needs is not lost on him, but to his worldview, too much of it exists for its own sake, the bureacracy insists upon itself and pushes all others into line. more besides, the boundless and eternal papertrail is the physical manifestation of Soul Societies immovable inertia, the very embodiment of it's ineffeciency, the platonic ideal with which his mind can represent the very stagnation and unbreakable cycle that his great nation finds itself forever trapped inside. personalized reports made for the 40 sages, the precise seating arrangement for the latest session for the six judges, the bountiful and countless expense forms for every minor cost analysis on behalf of squad 8, the endless iteneraries and entry-exit forms of squad 13. it is not the research papers of squads 12 and 5, it is not the strategic reports to and from the first division. but OH the busywork, the ceaseless march of form after form, file after file, the soul society drowns in paper as much as blood these days, and all it does is bog the system down. to say that more than half the filing in soul society is only for its own point is to put it lightly.
    
3. Sarcasm:Kojiro is a straightforward man, he says what he means, the way he means to say it, even though others may misinterpret him, though the message they hear may not be what he intended, the head of the kasumi'oji family speaks only to convey exactly what he means, making every attempt to ensure that his words convey his intentions, thoughts, and purpose behind them. and yet still, SOME people take to saying things that mean to convey the opposite of their intended purpose, at least a liar means you to believe his lies, but sarcarcastic individuals expect you to draw forth from their words the total inverse of their meaning, the irony is ABSOLUTELY lost on him, and yet still he carries on, confused and frustrated by every attempt to sass him, beyond even just the frustration of engaging with it, the disrespect inherent to the tone of irony and Acerbic Snark cant help but get under his skin
   
   
4. The Social order:from the moment he returned to the Soul Society, Kojiro has seen nothing but cracks. he sees the central 46 as the pinnacle of the very corruption they exist to prevent, the gotei 13 are a hollow shell, "all of soul society rots from the core to the skin" he says, "the human world reflects it's mirror" he says, "they're literally NAZI'S and it's our fault!" he says, there is much, that he says. and all of it holds weight, even if it does not hold attention, the soul society created Modsouls, and for nothing more than the crime of being alive, they cast them down, the soul society made the bounts in a desperate bid for immortality, they drove the quincy to the brink, and wonder why they hate the soul society. he could go on for hours on everything he sees wrong, but the foremost Scion of the Kasumi'oji relents, his words fall on deaf ears, because the state of the world is not one that is ready to listen. out of xenophobia, paranoia, or sheer stubbornness, the soul society makes enemies of everyone, friends of none, they drive more shinigami every year to pick up the Bakkoto and turn rogue, and while this drives his own ambitions, it only proves Kojiro's disdain for the circumstances, Xcution chooses to use it's influence to amass wealth and power towards the end goal of nothing, wasting it's might, the vandenreich, "Are LITERALLY FUCKING NAZIS WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE HOW DID WE LET THE LITERAL SPIRITUAL WORLD NAZIS HAPPEN", or so he has been caught saying, no, kojiro sees only problems among the modern Social order.
   
   
5. Gotei 13:"Corrupt, broken, filthy, indolent." "The gotei 13 is the single most powerful organized military force in all of history, they have repelled invasion from hell itself, they were founded to hunt and kill the natural predators of all life itself, possessed of the most powerful and versatile form of magic in the five worlds, the exclusive students of the singularly most potent style of hand to hand combat, and the most expansive style of movement techniques, possessed of the most refined weapon in history, they have power, they have the numbers, they have the resources. and yet they choose to keep their civilization restrained to a status like unto pre-industrial japan, they keep their subordinates woefully underequipped for the battles that are in truth, their own faults. The Vandenreich are the direct inheritors of the cycle of revenge for the genocide inflicted upon their people. The bount are our own children of the soul, and we chose filicide of our own creations, twice again we did this with the modsouls. The largest population of failures are former shinigami, who we hunt and persecute as readily as any other, choosing execution rather than aid. Fullbringers have the audacity to be more than peons with our boot upon their neck forever, and so we treat them as criminals and enemies, making it all too easy for Xcution to draw them to it's cause. The Gotei 13 exists to serve three purposes, and we fail at all of them. to govern is to accept responsibility for the safety of those you rule over, and we do not care for the people of Rukongai or for the human world. with Rukongai rotten on its outer edges, we divert manpower away from the frontlines, allowing more souls left on earth to take up the mask, accept the blood of the dolls, Burst with the limitless energy of the failures, or even to descend into hell. failing critically at our second task. and with so much of our energy placed on the oppression of innocents, and the making of enemies to wage war against, we cannot even keep up with the purification of Hollows. Wasteful, wasteful, WASTEFUL. A PROPER GOVERNMENT DOES NOT LEAVE IT'S PEOPLE TO THE SLUMS, A PROPER ARMY DOES NOT TURN ON IT'S OWN CITIZENS!"
   
   
6. Taller people:"I am over six feet tall. over half a foot above the global average, do you know how uncomfortable it is to have to actually look UP at somebody at this height? It's downright unnatural, it's insulting, it's practically a threat. downright unnacceptable. I pride myself on kindness, honesty, and clarity. But if you have the gall to stand above me... I will lift myself up or drag you down to my level." IF you think Kojiro is bad, then you have no idea how Ayane responds to it.

Overall Personality: ["to be the head of the Kasumi'oji is to be of two minds, always" and this sentence alone explains Kojiro Kasumi'oji, this is the very ideal of the Lotus emperor. Kojiro upholds himself only with the utmost composure at all times, but his emotions run to their extremes. he may keep his expressions of his feelings muted, tempered. IT is befitting of the Kasumi'oji head to always be in control. he MUST be. He is the head of a noble house, and to his peers he must always act with elegance and grace, to the four great houses he must treat them as the respected, but not superior, seniors to his own clan until such time as they stand among them once again. To the Central 46, precisely the sages, he must behave at all times as if his noble house will not interfere with his duties as Kido commander, for even his charms can only get him so far, and must embody the ideal of a rational force of order, and the strongest ally to the highest court in soul society. to the Judges he must uphold not only both these identities, but he must simultaneously maintain the public image of a loyal, dedicated, and rational servant, while within the shadows, he must present himself as their generous and eager benefactor. Every moment of his life must be a catered and cultivated image for everyone he must engage with.

but underneath it all? calm, collected, and kind to the world, but below the surface Kojiro is a man of Passion, drive, and sheer vitality. Always restrained below the skin, always always, ALWAYS keep it under control, but in spite of his commitment to the expectations of the world, Kojiro is a man of duality and extremes, never happiness, only Elation, never angry, only wrathful, never sad, only sorrowful, his face cannot help but convey the extremes of sensation and so he must always behave as if it is simply overexpressing his true feelings, but his eyes do not lie to you. Kojiro is not kind, he is a man of absolute compassion and love to those he considers close.

to expound, Kojiro sorts all beings in existence into the categories of "love, hate, and irrelevance", if you are not a figure whom he may despise, then you must be a figure to whom he can adore, if you are not significant enough to him personally to sit within one of these designations, then you are not even worthy of contempt, let alone acknowledgement, you barely exist to him. but to those close to him? to his loved ones? his true friends, his family. and in the most confusing way, even his enemies. Kojiro cannot even begin to comprehend the idea of life without you from the moment he cares for you.

The lotus emperor is a man of great love, it is this love that drives him, it is this love that makes him a madman, lo and behold, it this love that makes every fact of this man such that it is, he is the head of the kasumi'oji, and for them he will tear down soul society if it means the well being of his family, for his kido corps, he will slay the soul king, he will wage war on all of hueco mundo if it is for the sake of taking back but a single one of his friends. he is a ruthless monster, he will break your spirit, destroy your flesh, and render you into the very essence of pain, because you hurt his loved ones.

he has sworn his might to soul society, because he loves his nation, and he loves his people, he swears to stand beside the gotei, knowing his frustrations, knowing his role is to destroy them if the greatest court demands it, but he loves the gotei, the seireitei, even the rukongai, he hates the other noble families, but his love for them as people is what makes him desire to see their prosperity, kojiro demands that the soul society live under an aegis of peace, and joy, and bliss. he rules the most vile criminal empire in the world, because he loves his family, because he is more than willing to accept the consequences for himself if he can but bring them to a better world, he will make his subordinates into kings by the metaphor, but he will see his loved ones live in utopia if he must, by any means necesarry.

Those who come to be beloved by the lotus emperor know him to be a reserved and calm figure, a steadfast rock in their world, always there to be at their back, his words a notion of tranquility, but his actions the work of madmen out of a story he would rip the stars from the sky if but asked for them, so long as it would make them happy. they need not receprocate, it is not a selfish love, no Kojiro is a man of love, and love is generous, love is kind, love is to be shared, not exchanged,  but those in the underworld, know him to be a man of unimaginable cruelty and horror, a man who grins in the light of your burning home, a man who will make you personally witness the end of your bloodline in your last moments, those who see the face of Ayane, the lotus empress, the queen of the Lotus Tapir syndicate, know that only their suffering is underway. how could both these things be true? 

ask his enemies, oh, the hell he will rain upon them. how can a man who does everything for love be so cruel, so monstrous, so vile and so righteous at the same moment? because he does it all for his beloved. their pain is his pain, their joy is his joy, and he lives by the edict of his love for others. he loves the soul society, and so he seeks to uplift the people of rukongai, and should they rise, the shinigami shall rise, the seireitei shall grow strong, the nobility will expand, the soul society will become greater, "we live in what should be heaven but it is little better now than ever it has been" he says, and he means this. he changes the way he displays himself for others, but he never mispseaks

the Kasumi'oji head is nothing if not himself, and he will not be any more or less for another, "I will love you, exactly as you are, without condition, or coercion, but you must love me as i am or not at all if you wish to return this affection." he stands by his word, by his ideals, there is no hidden meaning. there is no subtle intent behind his words and actions. he does them because he believes it should be done, he says it because he means it.  Kojiro is exactly what he is, and the lotus emperor refuses to be anything else.


he is a man of hard work, of love, of incredible passion, always seeking an outlet to be unleashed, those who come to know him come to know he is always holding back a tidal force of emotion. in his work, he excels, not out of sheer competence, but of commitment, of a desire to see each day be better than the one before it and an earnest and honest belief that if he works harder, it will be. in  the light, he is the upstanding master of the kido corps, a loyal and honest servant of the soul society, a dedicated agent of the law, a world class noble, doing everything he can to help the common folk, to the point of being almost self-sacrifing for their sake.

in the dark, he is the central source of the tools of rebellion, the architect of a renegade shinigamis freedom, the guiding hand of a global network to which every renegade must eventually engage, who refuses the very idea of a lack of results, one who wishes to see the world burn for their greedy heart. but no less dedicated, no less commited. its true, kojiro is a man of sheer commitment, he strives to be the hardest working man in soul society, the lotus emperor refuses to do anything by half measures, if he sets himself to it, it will be taken on with the same determination as another man striving for his lifes goal.


and when he is alone with his beloved? free from the needs of society? if you had never seen him at work, you may think him a hedonist, a vagabond. but the same pride he takes in labor he takes in leisure. as said, he does nothing by half measures, and just as he dedicates himself to the work, the KAsumi'oji head gives everything he has to enjoying himself when the time comes. more than that, he is the perfect host at any celebration, doing everything in his power tot ensure the happiness of every guest, welcome or otherwise. if he has no reason to remove you, then he will make sure that you, himself, and everyone else have the greatest night of your entire life.

Epicurean, Stoic, ever restrained, ever in control of themself, ever seeking another experience. Kojiro is selfish at his core, and he strives to embody the idea of directed and selfish selflessness, he desires to live in a utopia, and so he will make the utopia, he desires to rule as an emperor, and so he will create an empire, he desires to see the people of soul society live in the heaven they were promised, and so he will make it so. contradictory, complicated, and yet so basic. this is the lotus emperor in all his glory.

-Powers-

Fighting Style: [It is important that we draw the clear line between Fighting Kojiro Kasumi’oji, and Ayane the lotus empress, it is VITAL that this line is drawn, because the head of the Kasumi’oji draws this line, there is an acceptable way to fight, and there is an appropriate way to fight, and so the head must draw this line. It’s a really quite simple line…



Kojiro is a surgeon, and Ayane is a butcher. Kojiro is an artist, and Ayane is a vandal.
