BIOGRAPHY

As far back as she can remember, Kiku has always lived in Soul Society. This life started decades ago in the 8th district of North Rukongai. There she lived in what amounted to a small village. She had a family with a younger brother, mother and father. They lived alongside other families including merchants, farmers and a town mayor. It was a simple life, and one that she would have liked to continue.

Unfortunately, another aspect of that village was an expectation for all youths to eventually enter the Shinigami Academy. It was 'The best way to have a future in Soul Society.' Not one to debate or disagree with others, Kiku did as was expected and applied for the academy. Though her body was not physically strong, they did not hesitate to take her in.

At the academy, Kiku did poorly during physical exercises. She was not particularly fast or strong. She was often the last or close to last during exercises. However, she made up for this with her knowledge and the speed at which she could learn Kido.

What ensured her nomination into the Gotei 13 was the release of her Shikai. Under normal circumstances she was slow and weak, but with her Shikai activated she was more capable than most of her peers. It was an analysis including her Shikai and Kido skills that allowed her to be accepted into the 5th Division of the Gotei 13. It is there that she remained for centuries, completing whatever jobs were handed to her. Promotions were never a goal for her, so she fluttered between seated and seatless. Today she remains in the 10th seat of the fifth division.

For her work as a member of the Gotei 13, Kiku organizes the library and translates documents. She also assists with decryption, and analyzing data.

When she is not working, she can be found reading at the barracks, or in a quiet place inside of Seireitei. Over the years she has also received some comforts from the Human World including stuffed animals, puzzle books and a strange technology called a 'Video Game.'

ZANPAKUTO: NISE

If she were to materialize, Nise (Kiku pronounces it Neese) takes the form of a young girl with blue and purple hair. In contrast to her emotional and hardworking shinigami, Nise is much more laid back and, well, lazy. She would much rather play games and eat snacks then to do anything requiring work. This has been a bane for Kiku. While her spirit has not materialized physically, she can at least hear the zanpakuto. What she hears are usually demands for snacks, and snide comments about how Kiku is working too hard.

A side of Nise that Kiku has not seen is a much more caring and kind side. The zanpakuto does worry about Kiku and often wishes she could be of more use to her. It also is quite common that she will say remarks along the lines of how Kiku should be a higher seat than she is.

One last detail about the zanpakuto spirit is that she rarely wears the same outfit. She wears a costume that changes from day to day, and changes based on both her and Kiku's moods.

SHIKAI: Nise no Kyozō

Nise no Kyozō (Fake Virtual Image) is the name of Kiku's Shikai. To activate this release, Kiku will hold Nise's blade horizontally with one hand and then pass the other hand in front of the blade. At the same time she will say the command, 'Start, Nise no Kyozō.' As she does this, the blade will seem to deteriorate until she reveals that it has been repleased by a small brown wand. While the wand cannot be used to attack, it is imperative for Kiku to use her zanpakuto's abilities.

ABILITY NAME: Power Up
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: Kiku points her wand at a target. When she does, the target's stamina will be bolstered. They will be able to run and jump without running out of breath. Kiku does not realize this, but this references platformer games, where the main character can run through stages without getting tired. This ability can be used on Kiku herself.

ABILITY NAME: Place
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: Kiku points her wand at a point in space. When she does this a square box will appear. If struck from the bottom, this box will reveal a random item. The item can be anything, but it is extremely rare (Never happens) that it will give her or anyone something convenient or useful. The boxes can be used as platforms for standing or climbing.

ABILITY NAME: Save / Load
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: Kiku points her wand at herself, an ally or an ability of one of those two. At the same time she will say 'Save.' A blue aura will surround the target. Later on she can hold her wand up and say 'Load.' When she does, the target of her 'Save' will be sent back to where they were when she said 'Save.' This will only work if the target is still around.

SHINIGAMI ABILITIES

ABILITY DESCRIPTION: The user slides their finger across writing. As they do this, the writing will light up and then slip off the page. Seconds later it will return to the page, but using a different language or dialect. This kido is used to translate text and code. While it is being used, the person will read each word and think of how it would be translated. If the user does not know how to translate a word, it cannot be translated with this Kido.

ABILITY NAME: Bakudo 30: Shitotsu Sansen (Beak-Piercing Triple Beam)
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: Generating a burst of crackling yellow energy in his/her palm, the practitioner uses this energy to draw an inverted yellow triangle, which generates solidified energy in the shape of smaller triangles from its three points.

ABILITY NAME: Bakudo 42: Decipher [Custom]
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: Works the same as Bakudo 3: Scribe, however, it will analyze the context of unknown words, as well as the words that the user does know, and it will come up with a proper translation of a word even if the user does not know it. This can be used to decipher complex codes, but the more complex the code the longer it will take.
