Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
5' 6' and a half inch. Thin, sort of muscular.
2. How old is he?
Over 200. Not exactly sure how old. Physically, he could be anything from late teens to mid twenties.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
He carries himself well!
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He is fit with no illnesses or conditions and no physical disabilities.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Graceful, fluid.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
He is physically very attractive and he knows it! He prides himself on his beauty and since no one actually contests it, I assume they're either all very polite or he actually is just really pretty.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Light, clear. Always clear.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Black, straight, shiny, cut in a bob, slightly parted towards the left, I believe? No bangs.
9. What color are his eyes?
Purple! It depends on who's coloring (sob) but they're sort of a medium purple, I guess leaning towards the red side. Like... a grapeish color, I guess?
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Always wears two feathers on the inner corner of his left eyebrow facing upwards and two on the corner of his left eye facing outward.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
The arch of his feet, his wrists, base of spine, temples.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Usually he has his uniform which is a black and white shihakusho but he dolls it up with some sort of connected orange knit cowl+arm warmer. Might be suited for an archer, but he fights with a sword... He fancies up any sort of uniform, as seen when he rolls up his school uniform issued khakis and clips on paperclips... Likes bright, bold colors, usually in casual dress...
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Yes, and he likes to believe he looks good in anything so he pretty much actively tries to rock anything he's wearing, comfortably.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Usually he dresses the same? Not in the real world, obviously. For some reason he only ever wears work clothes in Seireitei, even off duty, but I guess they're sort of always on duty, so that might be why, because I can't imagine he likes it much. He uses clothes as a form of self-expression so when he gets the chance he's usually in something more his style, which is I guess... whatever's in fashion.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Whatever the hell they're selling at Calvin Klein. And/or the classic fundoshi.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Tenor, very musical, smooth. See: Fukuyama Jun.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Varying speed and I guess sort of... softly? Medium? But he can... scream I guess. Talks very easily!
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
I don't... think so... I can't remember any, ahaha...
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
Japanese, fluent. Not sure if he speaks anything else.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Not that I can hear? But I'm not anywhere near fluent in Japanese so someone correct me if I'm wrong!
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He thinks a lot about the important stuff. But for regular things it just flows on by.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
I'd say he's a good middle road? I think I write him a little more eloquently than he probably is sometimes... He becomes inarticulate when insulted. Then it's just a battle of YOU'RE FUGLY!!
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Above average intelligence in both these fields, street smart more above average than book smart.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
Does a little of both, I guess? Some of these questions really depend on the situation... Like, he's capable of the former but I think if he was given a choice, he'd rather the latter.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Somewhere between logical and intuitive bordering on intuitive, practical when it comes to business and idealistic when it comes to things he enjoys, I think.

I think he went to the Shinigami academy... There's no real evidence, it's almost sort of like he and Ikkaku showed up on eleventh's doorstep like HEY TAKE US IN? Yeah, it's confusing.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
You know, he makes friends pretty easily and he gets along with people pretty easily, but he doesn't really... keep friends, I guess. Not a lot of them. Sort of like... Ikkaku, and then some other friends. Sob. This canon.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Friends because... what family...?

Turn ons: enthusiastic partner, noises, a partner with a really nice body... Turn offs: uhh... gross smells? Weird bedroom habits: I... I don't think I can even headcanon this. But I think he likes the sound of his own voice. LOL would that count?

N/A on all accounts.
