• Personality: The main thing that drves Aoi forward is achieving an understanding of all sides of a disagreement. Coming to a peaceful settlement is always a top priority for him. Through everyday life he can easily be described as carefree. And it is tough to get him to worry about anything. He has a very hopeful view of the worlds. Seeing each side as doing just what is right for thier side. What is evil in the eyes of an angel is justice for a devil. While some may call him lazy, he likes to think of himself as honest. He's not the type to clean up just because he is expecting guest. They are coming to his place. why hide how he lives? His thoughts and action always have a reason behind them. Much like his Zanpakutō, he deliberates on the possibilities and comes up with the best decision as he can. This makes him very cautious when entering battle or facing certain danger.

Because he thinks through his actions, he can be quite adaptable when handling new situations. He can often be seen alone, but when in social situations, he can be quite touchy, especially with close allies. He tends to stick with the cultural norms of the world he is in, though he will study up to fit into the customs of those he is dealing with, acting like an Arrancar, learning how the Vizard approach matters, or adhering to the Court Customs of the Quincy.

He has a gleeful sense of humor, able to find something funny with almost any situation. His favorite topic of conversation is what ever the other person is talking about. He can find a bit of information out about them and ease in to a closer more friendly environment. He does have a few quirks that pop up from time to time. He enjoys collecting dirt from locations he visits. Soil, sand, gravel, quiet a bit of terrain absolutly fascinates him. Though we walk upon the same plane, we may not walk upon the same soil. When asked questions, he will always ask the question again to double check and give him a chance to think.

He enjoys cooking over a small campfire, though he will always try to create a new food he has read in a cook book. He will also partake of games of Go, cards, or Chess. In most conversations, he enjoyes debating the issue of the conversation and often plays the devil's advocate. Aoi finds that his greatest strenght lies within the bonds he makes through Diplomatic relations. His friends can give him power even when not on the battlefield. They give him something to return to. This is also the reason he fights as hard as he does for a peaceful resolution instead of resorting to violence.

While he does not enjoy formal attire, sometimes the situation calls for it. He does take pride in his appearence and will see that each and every aspect is on point before he steps out of his room. Even when not in frmal occasions, he keeps his Zanpakutō with the edge at the top, a signification of a time of peace. If he turns the blades down so the edge is at the bottom, he has resigned to the fact that peaceful resolution can not be achieved.

• Likes: Dogs, Relaxing, Reading, The Color Red

• Dislikes: Cats, Overworking, Messes, Formal attire

• History: Aoi was born to a married couple who could not afford a can of beans, much less to take care of a child. So he was left on the doorstep of an orphanage. He, however, was not noticed into the night. The first to notice him was a hollow. One swipe was all it took to slay the newborn. But before his soul could be consumed, he was saved by a shinigami and sent on to the soul society.

Arriving very very young, a shinigami took him in and named him. He was fully accepted into the Yamaya Family of East Rukongai District 5. He grew up playing games and helping with soem chores around the home. When he was old enough, he learned some of the more advanced games and spent more time around the family elders. There he learned his art of diplomacy. He enjoyed the debates he went through, even if he lost most of them. His free time went into studying so he came armed to a battle of wits.

As he grew and studied, he started to improve in the debates and eventually started to win. It was around this time when a recruitment squad came through the district for the Shinigami. The thoughtfulness he learned from the elders of his district, allowed him to calmly think through most of the trials he was set against. This earned his invitation into the academy.

While in the academy, he took the slow route. Learning the skill to the fullest the instructors could. He even spent time studying on his own in the dormatories on other cultures that a Shinigami might encouter. He always tended to have to defend the unpopular opinion when he was debating the elders, so he thought about the situations from the other side. Everyone was doing what was right for thier side, and the only reason clashes happened was because opinions differed and needs clashed. It was inenvitable when the resources in question ended up being souls after all.

After graduating, Aoi was placed in Diplomatic Affairs. After the soul binding ceremony for his Zanpakutō yeilded three blades, many in his class suggested maybe he should ahve been in Guard or Combat Divisions. The Zanpakutō appearence was not enough to outweigh his ability to come to terms with almsot anyone.

• Reiatsu Color: Cosmic Latte [#fff8e7]

• Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Sanno Hyogikai

• Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance: Sanno Hyogikai actually is comprised of three seperate but united spirits. All three appear to be men in ceremonial Temple Robes. A White sealing tag covering thier face from view. While thier appeareance and top vestments are identical, there are very noticable difference between them. Always on the left is Nataka, His hat, hakama, and underrobe is blue. The seal on his face reads Goho Yoidesu. Standing in center is Shizakiwa. His hat, underrobe, and hakama are all black. The seal over his face reads Nyutiraru Shin. Always on the right is Totan. Hat, underrobe, and hakama are all deep purple. His face tag reads Kaosu Aku.

• Inner World: The inner world of Sanno Hyogikai is rather small and simple. Movement is not allowed. In the center of the room is a slightly raised wooden circle with a wooden railing all the way around it. A slightly raised platform encircles the platform. The only light in the area comes from four over head lights. One on the center platform, and ove directly over each of the three members. They form spotlights that never move. Everything else is cloaked in an unpenetratable darkness.

• Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance : Sannon Hyogikai is a three piece sword set, a katana and Wakizashi on the hip and a tanto kept within the folds of the yukata. The three blades are kept in close proximity of each other, usually within centimeters unless in use. All three baldes have no guards and the handle and sheath merge seamlessly with black bamboo. Sheath of the katana has an carving that reads Gho Yoidesu, wakizashi reads Nyutiraru Shin, and the tanto reads Kaosu Aku.
• Sealed Zanpakutô Abilities: Sanno Hyogikai's unique in the aspect that it is three seperate blades that compose a single Zanpakutō. Aoi can hold and utilize any of the three at anytime. He can also call upon the Shikai of the Zanpakutō while weilding any of the blades.

• Release: Anata no hyoketsu o kudashimasu, Sanno Hyogikai.

• Shikai Description: Upon utterance of the Release command, all three blades leave their sheath and hover behind Aoi. He raises his right hand in front of his, palm open to his left. The katana sitting behind him to his right, wakizashi behind him, and tanto to his left. They then start to move counterclockwise, hitting the back of his hand. When they touch, they become energy and merge. Once all three have become energy, he will invert his hand and grabs into the energy, puling out the shikai form of Sanno Hyogikai. The new form is a blade made of double edged blades in the form of a cross. The longest blade is 60 cm long. The blades that form a guard from tip to tip are 30 cm in length. The blade in the handle area is 15 cm long. In the convergence point of the three blades is a shining metal cross handle, allowing Aoi to hold it at various angles. The briliant stainless steel blade glistens with the sun and illuminates the darkness.

• Shikai Abilities: While every inch of the blade is sharp edges, it is not a all or nothing attack type Zanpakutō. When it is inverted so that the short blade is at the top, a shield of light forms around it to deflect attacks. When it is held horizontally with the long blade behind him, he can fire off a thick beam of light.

• Bankai Description: (You may fill out your Bankai Description, but unless you get staff permission, you may not use your Bankai right off the bat. There are expectations, however.)

• Bankai Abilities: (You may fill out your Bankai Powers, but unless you get staff permission, you may not use your Bankai right off the bat. There are expectations, however.)

• Roleplay Sample: Eight hours later, Kenjiro woke up and looked over. The stranger was still sitting in the same position. Ken Sat up using his arms and balanced himself before reaching out with his strings to bring his chair to him. He pushed and pulled himself into his chair and settled down. The Stranger stood up and looked at him. “It almost night fall. Are you sure you want to head out now?”

Ken just nodded and sorted through his pouch. “Yeah quick completion and reporting could lead to bonuses and living alone you kind of need those to do anything but just live.” The stranger just walked behind the chair and grabbed the handles before pushing the chair through the door. “You know that I use my ninjutsu to move the chair half the time right?”

The stranger remained and continued to guide him through the door. “And that is what everyone will think is happening. You can see me because you were depressed when you crossed me. You can her me for that same reason. Not sure how much longer you can continue to see and hear me but, I will be watching your story with intrest until I find a better one.” Ken looked back to him as they went through the door and turned down the road toward Sunagakure.
______________________________________________________________________

Their trip down the road was a silent one. While Ken thought in his head this was merely to pay back for the ride to town, The stranger had yet to utter a word. Though what Ken wouldn’t do to learn the jutsus this guy was apparently using. Selective invisibility, selective silence, constant telepathy and the ability to not feel heat. This guys was pretty powerful. Probably why he is just a watched.

After an hour down the road, the two heard a scream for help. The voice was that of a woman in her early 20’s. They spotted her quickly sitting atop a rock, swatting away a sea of scorpions. While small there was maybe thousands of them. Ken held up his hand. “Time to write another post of this story. Just stay here and watch.

Ken pulled himself away as the stranger stood in place. He bit his thumbs and cleared his throat.

“We're no strangers to love”

Drawing a line of blood down both arms of his chair, he summoned his kikou puppet and attached it to his chair in a quick motion.

“You know the rules and so do I”

With a flick of his wrist, he barreled through the bulk of the scorpions surrounding the rock. His Song filling and becoming clear from the steel confines.

“A full commitment's what I'm thinking of”

Pulling the strings atop, he activated the flame thrower and torched about 300 scorpions.

“You wouldn't get this from any other guy”

He turned the turret sending another 300 scorpions to a firey hell. Still singing.

“I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling”

He opened the kikou armor cocpit and waved the girl in. She didn’t care much for the singing but jumped in onto his lap before the scorpions over took the rock.

“Gotta make you understand”

As the cockpit closed, he gave a quick 360 spin shaking off the scorpions from the armor. His hands then went flying through hand seals.

“Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,”

He formed two Gintama in the tubes and destroyed the rock with the resulting blast of the silvery spheres.

“Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you”

He ran over the last two surviving scorpions with his chair wheels as he got back to the road. In front of the stranger, he opened his cockpit and let the woman from his lap shortly before the puppet disappeared. She gave him a quick hug before running on back down the road to the small town. The stranger gave him a quizzical look. “They were Riku Rolled.”
