In a word, quiet. While the process of returning corpses to life can certainly lead to some degree of decay of personality, particularly with the soul remaining absent, it can be said with certainty that the silence Fasolt carries himself with is not simply a consequence of his resurrection. Even when speaking with his “creator,” he speaks curtly, avoiding overly long sentences and generally saying only exactly what needs to be said. He is avoidant toward conflict, as well, but due to augmentations added in the resurrection process, Fasolt ends up becoming nearly uncontrollable when violence actually begins.


○ Shihoin Family: Former patriarch prior to his death.

○ Klein Schwarzwotan: He serves his creator out of a sense of duty and obligation. On a personal level, the two don’t particularly get along, but Fasolt would sooner die (again) than betray his oath of service.


Once the head of the Shihoin family, Yushiro’s life was cut short by illness. “Short,” of course, being only a relative term, for though Yushiro certainly lived for far less time than a man of his strength might otherwise have, nearly 800 years is by no means a brief time. However, what should ostensibly have been an eternity in the grave was cut short by an incursion into the Soul Society. Yushiro’s corpse, like so many others, was plundered, and upon its taking was put into a chamber designed to turn it into something akin to a mere tool.

Perhaps thankfully, a corpse has no memory of its time while dead. Emerging from the chamber with a dull sort of “life” in his eyes, the former corpse simply looked to its creator with a disinterested gaze, and nodded in silence as it was instructed on the future of its existence. His name was Fasolt, and he had been created as a means of studying the nature of shinigami. He was not alone in that endeavor, but he was considered one of the “most promising specimens.” As such, his survival was considered a higher priority than many of the other, less impressive corpses retrieved.

As of now, Fasolt is simply on standby, expecting to be sent on a mission whenever his creator feels it prudent.


○ Hyper Reconstruction: As is the case with the many corpses that have been stolen away by Klein, Fasolt was not simply brought back to life in a state identical to how he was found. His body has been both reinforced and reinvigorated, so as to not only take advantage of the residual spiritual power within the body itself, but to shore up those obvious weaknesses caused by his nature as a mere corpse. Fasolt’s capabilities are not the same as they were in life, but this is perhaps only by merit of having been an exceptionally strong man while alive. He is still a profoundly more capable combatant than the average shinigami, or even an above average one, for that matter. Centuries of honing the body while alive, of training to become a near-unstoppable force, have been at least in part replicated through scientific achievement.

○ Muscle Memory Zankensoki: In life, Yushiro Shihoin was one of the foremost practitioners of orthodox hakuda in the Seireitei. What he lacked in flash or esoterica, he made up for in sheer training in the core tents of the art, and even opposed to violence he was unquestionably capable of taking down the overwhelming majority of opponents. His understanding of hoho and kido both matched this mastery; supreme excellence in the fundamentals, a mastery of the core tenets which seemed to cut through the need for more elaborate technique. In undeath, many of those intricacies, the finer complexities of knowledge, have been lost between the natural decay of a corpse and the loss of the soul through the cycle of reincarnation. That does not mean the being now known as Fasolt has become a pushover; it simply means that one might have a chance to best him now.

Fasolt/Yushiro is one of many NPCs in the works whose purpose is to provide narrative to other characters, as one of the consequences of the Hollow Incursion. Yushiro, in particular, is a character who was widely connected to many characters on site, none more immediately apparent than Rio and Yugiri, both of whom saw him as a father figure. As such, this NPC is not intended to live forever; he is simply a vehicle for character writing and, much like any antagonist, will eventually be dealt with. While he is intended to be strong enough to provide a meaningful challenge to those particular characters, he is also not intended to be the victor in such a battle from a narrative perspective, as that not only defeats the purpose of the character in storytelling, but also would oversell the capabilities of the technology used in his resurrection. I am of course willing to further discuss the character's role on the site during the grading process if necessary.
