Character: Kuchiki Byakuya
Series: Bleach
Character Age: Exact age is unknown, but at least a few hundred years old. Looks to be in his late-twenties to early thirties.
Job: Life Enrichment Counselor
Canon: Bleach is the story of a boy named Kurosaki Ichigo who, in a desperate situation, agrees to become a Shinigami (Soul Reaper). After that fateful incident his life is forever changed by the powers of shounen retardation and godmode. With the help of his friends, and sometimes enemies, he fights for JUSTICE!!1!; saving souls and kicking lots of Hollow (souls gone wild bad) butt.
Byakuya is a Shinigami and a captain of the Gotei 13 (13 Imperial Guards). He is extremely powerful and has some of the...prettier attacks in the series. Most of which involve cherry blossoms. He takes his duties very seriously, seeing each task through to the end no matter how small or menial it is. He is also head of one of the four noble families in Soul Society (where souls are sent after a person dies) and very much acts the part; full of pride, very calm and seemingly apathetic about everything regardless of what his feelings actually are. Despite his cool exterior, though, Byakuya cares a great deal about those important to him, especially his younger sister Rukia. It's also worth nothing that he does have a since of humor, albeit a very dry and detached one.
Sample Post:
Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Kuchiki Byakuya and I have been hired by the Director to be your Life Enrichment Counselor. Yes, I realize you're dead. So am I. But just because your bodies are rotting doesn't mean that you should let your minds go, too. So, in order to help you "enrich your lives," I have been given a list of several activities that I will teach over the course of my stay here. And while none of it may be practical for day to day use, it is nonetheless my job, and I am going to do it even if I don't quite understand why this was allowed by Soul Society.
First, we'll start off with flower arrangement.
I have supplied various containers as well as a few different types of flowers and plants. Unfortunately, Camp does not seem to have any of the more...traditional types used, but I was able to find a few...mostly suitable substitutes. Just be cautious of the flowers with the purple stems and the vines with the blue flowers. The liquid inside the former can cause you to catch fire and explode if it comes in contact with you, and the latter will try to crawl its way into your skin if you're not careful.
Now, what is most important in flower arrangement is color scheme, the harmony of the flowers and the simplicity of the design. Capturing the essence of the seasons is your goal. Since it is December, the season is obviously -- no, not "brains." It is neither "grr" nor "argh" either, although your participation has been duly noted. The word you are looking for is "winter." I want you to take in the atmosphere around you for a moment; the snow, the chill in the air. Envision this in your mind as you take up your first flower and -- not set yourself on fire. I did warn you that could happen. ...Perhaps we should try something a bit less...flammable.
Next will be an introductory lesson on... oh, this should be good ...tea ceremonies.
This is a bit more complicated and normally takes several years to master correctly. Therefore, I will only give a brief overview and then a demonstration. Now, as you can see, there are quite a few tools that are necessary. Of these tools, the -- sir, I must ask that please remove your hand from that tea cup. That is highly unsanitary. And you, with the missing eye, put down the tea powder at once. It is not something one just throws around -- and now you've lost your arm as well as the powder. No, put the flowers down this instant. You witnessed what happened to your friend and you were warned about how they could -- explode.
...Well. I think that will be enough for today. We will try again at a later date. Hopefully, you'll be better prepared to handle yourselves and the instructions I give you. Now, if you will please excuse me, I. Need to find out if zombie comes out of silk.
