¤ Negatives: Incredibly revenge orientated, distrusting,
¤ Quirks and tics: Near always has his brows furrowed, making it look like he's permanently angry. Fidgets when nervous. Tends to avoid his problems where possible.
¤ Summery:
To start with Kusaka was a bright and shining star, and his personality was just as bright, his happy yet incredibly friendly personality meant the young man found it surprisingly easy to befriend any individual he'd meet, including the notoriously secluded Toshiro Hitsugaya. During this time he was kind, putting others before himself and finding an immense joy in trying to better himself to compete with his best friend. He was an idealist in every way, one who strove to improve so that he could become of use to the soul society and help those who needed it, he pledged his life to this cause... And it betrayed him.
After he was brutally exiled from the soul society and stripped of his powers and zanpakuto he became a far colder and much more callus individual, one without trust. Being forced to live with humans caused him to become somewhat unbalanced from what he was, and this caused a deep sense of revenge to cling to his gut. Over time this has grown and spanned into a full blow hate for the soul society, and it has now come to the point where he wishes to pull it down and destroy it from the inside out. Whilst one may think him dumb for even considering such a feat it is actually most the opposite. Kusaka is a smart individual, one who has approached his plans from every side and filled in the flaws, he understands what it is he's to do and has every intention of going through with this. Despite what this may make you think Kusaka does still have a deep rooted sense of justice within him, the same one that he held in his heart as a child. The difference now is very simply that his views have changed due to being betrayed. He believes that what he's doing is justice, that by destroying the soul society he will be taking down a tyrannical power, one that cost him everything. This does not mean though that Kusaka is unwilling to harm innocents, if they get in his way they are dead, it is that simple.
To fit in with his life as a human Kusaka has adopted the incredible ability of being able to switch between what he now is, and what he once was. He is a pure master of manipulation, and very clearly has each and every human around him believing that he is nothing more than a kind natured school boy. On very rare occasions if suddenly reminded of something from his past then his true colors may show causing him to become far more cynical and aggressive, even sadistically sarcastic at times. During these times it could be considered very wise to stay the hell away for him, or try your damn best to ride out the moments he's like this. Such outbursts are incredibly rare from the young man though, and indeed on the occasion he does suffer them they do not last all that long before he covers it all back up again.
Below it all there is something else that can be said for him, and that is the deep sense of unsentimental he has in his heart. Whilst Kusaka is apparently a highly dominantly confident individual a part of him is not in fact such. After past events a part of him was left broken, a part of him that he himself has found no way to heal, something that was destroyed when he lost his existence. It is this shattered piece of him that has tipped him over the line and onto the path he now walks, a place he'd never wanted to go yet had no choice but to reside in. If someone were to find a way to expose this and pick at it then it's all to possible that the walls the young soul reaper has may fall down around him leaving him exposed. This though is unlikely, there are few to none who now know of his past, and even fewer who would know enough about him as a person to brutally pull these walls down.
I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart
With the brutal things you say
I can't deal with shit any more
I just look away
My Soul's Blade
«Killing me once wasn't enough for you?!»
¤ Zanpakuto name: Hyorinmaru
¤ Sealed appearance: When sealed, Hyōrinmaru looks just like a normal katana with the exception of the guard, which is shaped like a four-pointed star and a light purple hilt.
¤ Ability type: Ice
¤ Shikai command: Reign over the frosted heavens
¤ Shikai appearance: In its Shikai, Hyōrinmaru extends slightly in length, and gains a crescent-shaped blade attached to its hilt by a long metal chain, which can extend greatly if necessary by force of will. Once released the scarlet sheath vanishes.
¤ Shikai ability: Hyōrinmaru allows Kusaka to control water and ice. His slashes create an immense amount of spiritual power which overflows from the tip of the blade, creating a flow of ice shaped like a Chinese dragon. The dragon flies at opponents and instantly freezes anything it touches. Kusaka can also direct his slashes towards the ground and form a wave of ice which rushes over his opponents overwhelming and freezing them. The chain-blade also freezes anything Kusaka traps with it. The power it expels is so overwhelming that in Soul Society , its mere release affects the weather within the immediate vicinity, creating a thunderstorm or a blizzard.
¤ Bankai name: Daiguren Hyōrinmaru
¤ Bankai appearance: Purple ice flows from Hyōrinmaru onto Kusaka, starting at his right arm which ice forms onto in the shape of a dragon's head around sword hand, encasing it up to the hilt; which also changes from the shape of a four-pointed star to that of eight-pointed star. The ice continues forming up over his shoulders with two large wings sprouting from his back and a long tail. The ice forms down his left arm encasing his hand which ends in a claw. Kusaka's feet are encased in ice in a similar manner to his left hand which as they to end in claws. These new ice limbs are movable and can be used as an extension of himself to aid in battle. During some appearances of his Bankai, three flowers of ice form floating behind him, each consisting of four blue petals shaped like diamonds.
¤ Bankai ability: Ice manipulation, bawk, go read Toshiro's profile or wiki page.
¤ Spirit gender: Male
¤ Spirit appearance: A great blue serpentine ice dragon with red eyes and wings.

¤ Experience: ██████████
¤ Specialty: Swordsmanship
¤ Summery:
Flash Steps Master: Kusaka has shown himself to be highly proficient in Flash Steps, being able to keep up with fellow experts.
Immense Spiritual Power: While not having an official rank as a Shinigami, Kusaka has spiritual energy that appears to be of captain-level, as shown from its ability to startle Hitsugaya upon their first meeting in years.
Enhanced Durability: Kusaka shows himself to be able to take large amounts of damage to his person, whilst retaining the ability to keep going.
Kido practitioner: Due to the fact his education was cut short he's not as proficient with Kido as he should be. He can use it, and indeed what he does know he puts to good use, using weaker ones to his advantage by using them with all the skill of an expert. If though he sees a higher one used it's very possible he could learn it if he so wished.

And leave me with nothing again

¤ Origin: Soul Society, Rukongai
Banished for: 50 years
Missing for: 50 years
¤ Pre-forum:
During his days in the academy, he was in the same class as Tōshirō Hitsugaya and the two of them quickly became friends. He had regarded Hitsugaya as a genius and strove to be better than him. He also swore his allegiance to Soul Society and worked hard to become a successful Shinigami just to devote his life to them. When Kusaka met his Zanpakutō's spirit in a cave, he met Hitsugaya there who had also met the same spirit. They were overjoyed to know that both of them had exactly the same powers and their friendship deepened as a result.
The Central 46 members ruled that two Shinigami cannot possess the same Zanpakutō. By the ancient laws of the Shinigami, such a situation was not permissible, although neither Kusaka or Hitsugaya had intended to violate the law. Hitsugaya offered to abandon Hyōrinmaru instead of fighting Kusaka, but the council forced Kusaka and Hitsugaya to fight for the honor of bearing Hyōrinmaru (a possible reference to Gin Ichimaru's earlier comment that Hyōrinmaru marks out a destined hero). It was ultimately Kusaka who drew his sword and charged at Hitsugaya, shouting that he wanted Hyōrinmaru for himself. This cost him, as it was never meant to be a duel to the death but a test to see who would raise their blade first.
Having lost the right to his blade, and thus through this his ability to become a soul reaper, Kusaka was stripped of all powers and exiled to the human world when he'd indeed committed no crime other than lifting a blade to challenge a best friend to the right to wield Hyōrinmaru. After this he was dumped into Karakura town where he was forced to live out his exile, whilst here it is also worth noting that Kusaka, despite being into his hundreds, was forced to join high school. Then upon graduation he was very quickly forced to move and retake
At first he didn't actually stay in this town, choosing to move away and travel around, trying to distance himself from the place. Torn apart by anger and jealousy it was a long while before he made any attempts to talk to others and be remotely social, making a point to push people away. Once he finally relented somewhat to seek company his views contorted further, making everything seem far darker to him.
Finding the company he'd needed a rather large problem hit him painfully, though he didn't retain his powers he was still a soul reaper, more importantly he had the scent of one. Not long after he arrived a hollow attacked, looking for him. Before everything it would have shown no problem to him, whilst still learning he was strong and adept enough to have killed it quickly. No longer. Unable to contend with it he turned tail and rand, though not before the thing slashed him across his form with razor like claws. Due to blood-loss he collapsed, soon administered to a small medical facility, where again the hollow attacked. Unable to find him straight away the beast consumed many a soul there, each and every life lost being his fault. Still unable to attack and in poor condition he once more fled, leaving the hollow to rampage through the town until such time as a soul reaper stopped it.
This happened near enough every time he put himself in a situation in being near people, something that lead an even deeper negative association of being with people to form. Along with this the anger and pain of previous events still dwelt in him, causing his once kind nature to shield itself and change, warping into something incredibly dark an aggressive.
Overtime Kusaka very simply became one of those faces you saw, you knew, and yet you'd simply forget about unless he wanted you to be aware of his presence. This suited Sojiro perfectly, and gave the boy all the time he needed to form a detailed plot on how he was to take his revenge, and in an amusing twist it was very much thanks to the town he'd been exiled to that he was able to form this idea. First though he had the issue of regaining both his powers, and the blade he'd so long ago been willing to fight for the right to use. And to do this he developed (or at the very least discovered) a forbidden kido that would break the seal that had been placed upon him.
Obviously unable to use the demon art himself he was forced to enlist the help of the first gullible soul reaper that came his way. Making them believe he was simply a soul reaper that had hit a spot of bother the soul reaper seemed more than happy to help, unaware of what the kido was, or what the hell it actually did in the first place. As soon as his powers were restored her turned on the soul reaper, killing him with his now regained Hyorinmaru. After this Kusaka turned and fled into hiding, doing so to give himself time to fully regain his powers, and also put into the very same practice Urahara had used years prior, a cheats method to bankai.
After three days of training he gained the level, and then started to put his plans into play, starting to attract gradually increasing levels of low level hollows to the very town he'd been exiled to. This is simply all a part of his great plan of action, one he will soon no doubt put into play, the first step of which was returning to Karakura town and entering into the school there.
¤ On forum:
Sensing a strange energy from a classmate Kusaka quickly found the source to be a strange youth with orange hair, a human. His first glimpse of the boy was him yelling in public at a ghost, something only he and Kusaka could even see. Not long after the meeting though a hollow attacked, the spiritual pressure of Ichigo and scent of Kusaka attracting it. Foolishly lashing out and acting the fool Ichigo put both in a dire situation, one that led to a deep gash to Kusaka's fore arm. Eventually Kusaka managed to dispatch of the beast, though not before Ichigo was severely hurt, bad enough that he was taken to hospital over it, Kusaka going too, only to be interrogated by the odd human.
Moving forward in his plans shortly afterwards whilst his planned hollow attacks continued he approached Kisuke Urahara, seeking him out to retrieve a certain device from him, the Hogyoku. Knowing well enough a full blown fight with the man would end badly he used something else, or rather someone. With his audibility to manipulate hollows it was only natural that he'd eventually take control of the Vizards, which he did. This would be the first time he used one of them, using Shinji Hirako to hold the shopkeeper off whilst he searched for the small device, which was soon located leaving him to clean up after Shinji's somewhat failure.
Awakening the hogyoku a year later he sent a final riddle, one bringing his old friend, Toshiro Hitsugaya, to him. His first action in the meeting was to deliver a deep blow to his once friend with Hyorinmaru, something that was all part of something far worse. Having originally hidden his identity from the boy with a hollow mask he removed it, shocking the other. Quickly plans being put into action he pinned the boy and drew the hogyoku, though not without hesitation, and awakened it's power, using it on the boy. With it's power the young captain was changed into something vile, a hollow, one that Kusaka soon removed the mask from, leading to an outburst for his friend who was once more in control of his body, though with a new deviation to his soul. Soon though he passed out through exhaustion and blood loss, allowing Kusaka to take him.
Shortly after this he turned his attention back to the vizard, largely in trying to bolster the intelligence they displayed whilst under his control. Whilst doing so his sights were set on the young girl, Hiyori. Lowering his control he made the fatal mistake of over confidence, something that cost him. She turned on him, slashing down his face, something that slowed everything down.
Whilst the wound was still fresh he was confronted by Urahara who demanded he return the Hogyoku. After a while he consented, handing it over, though upon returning he discovered Hitsugaya had fled. Enraged he gathered two of the vizard, immediately travailing back to the soul society to try and retrieve the boy.
