Appearance

Hideuchi is of average height, but difficult to miss none the less. He is very distinctive in appearance, possessing sharp, striking features and a carrying himself with a bearing of absolute confidence and assurance. Hideuchi has cool gray eyes and short, loose black hair, and his face is usually twisted into a condescending smirk. He walks with a cat-like grace. He is thin, but possesses a lithe and wiry musculature. Hideuchi wears a normal and unadorned Shihakusho. He wears a simple silver ring on his left hand. He carries his Zanpakutos in his sleeves, contained within concealed sheathes designed for easy access. His Reiatsu is the color of shining steel, and feels like cold metal pressed against the flesh.

Personality

Hideuchi is, at best, self confident and proud. At worst, he is condescending, arrogant, and dangerously overconfident. He has little interest in other people, considering most to be beneath his attention. He believes absolutely in his own abilities, and the thought of asking for or needing another person's aid is alien to him, although he would readily help others, if only to show off his superiority. Hideuchi is highly intelligent, but this rarely comes across through his bull-headed personality. Very ambitious, Hideuchi has always sought greater rank and glory, although both have thus far been denied him. This desire manifests in a reckless need to prove himself. He spends much of his time training, feeling a constant need to sharpen his skills. Hideuchi's social skills are lacking, but deep down, he isn't a bad person, merely blinded by his arrogance.

History

Hideuchi has been very lucky in his life. He was born in the District 1 of the Northern Rukongai to a prosperous merchant family. As a child, he was quiet and aloof, having little interest in other children or much of anything else. He spent most of his time daydreaming or avoiding work. He found his life to be dull and uninteresting, and had no desire whatsoever to learn the family business, seeing it as a boring waste of time. Thus, it came as a great relief to him when it was discovered that he was powerful enough to become a shinigami, and soon after he entered the shinigami academy. He found that he derived great satisfaction from the training, and worked very hard at his studies. He quickly proved to be a natural at all physical areas of shinigami study, excelling at Zanjutsu, Hoho, and Hakuda, while managing to be competent with Kido. After graduating, Hideuchi joined the Second Division. His skill was not diminished by actual combat, and if anything he grew even stronger after his first field assignments. After a few years, he had unlocked his shikai and reached the level of a seated officer. However, because of Hideuchi's overwhelming arrogance and overconfidence, he has always been prevented from ascending beyond an unseated, which frustrates him to no end.

Abilities

Hideuchi is very fast and extremely agile, able to run circles around heavier opponents. He is highly skilled at both Hoho and Zanjutsu, and his Hakuda is also at a high level. Hideuchi has spiritual energy that is above average by a decent margin. He can be extremely stealthy when necessary, unsurprisingly for one of his division. Hideuchi's Kido ability is below average for someone of his overall skill level, but he is competent with it. Hideuchi has surprising strength for his slender build, but in general avoids trying to overpower his enemies as he is still weaker than most, preferring to use skill. Against stronger opponents, Hideuchi relies on hit and run attacks, avoiding extended confrontations.

Zanpakuto: Kuro Yougu (Black Tools)

Sealed state

When sealed, Kuro Yougu appears as a twinned pair of long, curving daggers. These daggers are made of a dark metal that does not reflect light and are always razor sharp. They have no guards, with the blades extending directly from the hilt.

Inner World

Hideuchi's Inner World appears as a titanic, unbroken mass of shadows. There appears to be ground, but Hideuchi has seen no objects or landmarks.

Kuro Yougu manifests as a tall man shrouded in a dark cloak that hides his form, with a pale white Oni Noh mask covering his face. He speaks in a low whisper that always seems to come from behind Hideuchi. Kuro Yougu generally treats Hideuchi with disdain and contempt, although he expresses approval of his hard work.

Shikai: "Kill, Kuro Yougu"

When Kuro Yougu is released, it becomes a pair of steel bandoleers that wrap around Hideuchi's wrists and the front of his forearms. Each bandoleer is composed of six rectangular containers that are hinged together. Kuro Yogu can, on command, create any tool or weapon that can fit through the openings of these containers, within reason, or the components to make something larger or wider than would otherwise be possible. The tools or weapons can remain within the containers for easy access or be immediately projected out. The created objects cannot be made of rare materials, nor can they be modern weapons from the Mortal World, such as guns or grenades. They can be larger than the container they emerge from, as long as they can fit through the opening.
