General Information
--------------------
Name: Mayuri Kurosutchi
Actual Age: 268
Appearing Age:27 (I rounded up)
Gender: Male
Appearance
Mayuri's appearance has a very skeletal look to it with a skull-like visage. His face is painted entirely white with the inner portion of his face painted black with the exception of his nose. His eyes are a golden color and he constantly bares his teeth giving the appearance of him constantly smiling. Both his ears are seemingly replaced with stubbed golden cones. His fingernails are blue and, with the exception of the fingernail on his right middle finger, are all short. The one long fingernail is as long as the finger itself. He also wears a white hat with two ends that point to his right and a large purple scarf around his neck. His whole body, even his face and hands, has been painted black and white. He repaints his make-up every morning, as he always removes it before going to bed.
Mayuri is revealed to have blue hair and honey gold eyes when without make-up.
Mayuri's looks have changed since his initial appearance: his face paint had changed with him creating a black cross upon the center of his face covering everything but his nose and a small portion of his lower chin. His ear attachments have become shorter and rounder but wider, his chin has a long golden attachment reminiscent of an Egyptian Pharaoh beard, his teeth have become a golden color, and he no longer wears a hat as there is a golden frame around his face. His hair is also styled into "horns," that slope down from the top of his head and frame his face, which when viewed from the front looks much like a Pharaoh's crown.
Personality
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is a researcher and personifies the stereotype of the mad scientist. By his early actions during the Ryoka Invasion, he is displayed as one of the most sadistic and cruel Shinigami. He sees everyone and everything not as a living being, but as an object to be researched—including himself. He has little respect or regard for most others, and was even willing to turn his own men (who were not aware of his plans) into living bombs in an attempt to capture Uryū Ishida and Orihime Inoue for experimentation. He also withheld vital information about the Bounts from the other Shinigami in order to capture one as a research subject for himself.
It is known that Mayuri's favorite food is pike fish, and that he does not like onion. One of his free-time activities is reading every character published in Seiretei Communication. He himself publishes a serialization in the journal, titled "Effective Medication for the Brain", which apparently contains detailed instructions on preparation of medicine and their application. Surprisingly, it is highly popular among the readers.
In battle, Mayuri likes to play with his opponent, torturing them little by little until they can hardly stand. This was shown in both the fight with Uryū and his Espada counterpart Szayel. Every time he fights he uses it as an experiment testing himself and his opponent little by little. He also uses it as an oppurtunity to implant microbes or other things in case they get away. Before engaging, though, he will make extensive research on his possible opponents to tilt the chance of winning in his favor. It is seen that, before the Winter War, he is busy reading in the library with a note on the door saying, "Enter and Die." He's shown to be doing this every time before he fights, against both the Bounts and the Espada.
History
Little is known about the early history of Mayuri, except that 110 years ago he was the only prisoner in the Maggot's Nest who was considered dangerous enough to necessitate confinement in a small prison cell, chained to the wall by his ankle. He would, however, one day be visited by Kisuke Urahara who was seeking his genius to become vice-president in the newly thought-of Shinigami Research and Development Institute, a request that would automatically get him out of there. At first Mayuri refused, until Kisuke began teasing him with the fact that he had nothing to tinker with down there and that, as vice-president, he would inherit everything should something happen to Urahara.
9 years later Mayuri was seen with Kisuke Urahara and Hiyori Sarugaki walking through the Seireitei when they were greeted by 5th Division captain Shinji Hirako and his lieutenant Sōsuke Aizen. Mayuri showed a distaste for Shinji as he refused to call Mayuri by his full name and only called him by his first, which was too familiar for Mayuri's liking. He seemingly was uninterested in the conversation between Urahara and Aizen who was explaining that the 9th Division had been sent on a special investigation to find out what was happening with the disappearances in the Rukongai.
During her brief time as a member of the institute, Hiyori served as a lab manager, which resulted in clashes with Mayuri, who was then 3rd Seat & Vice-President of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute, over who had more authority under the Captain. The two constantly got into an ongoing argument about whose in charge, prompting Hiyori to call in Urahara. He explained to her that with the disappearances occurring he had created a new type of Gigai. Before Hiyori could respond they were interrupted by the arrival of Todō Gizaeimon, the 6th Seat of the 9th Division. Urahara agreed to send a researcher over to the investigation site as per the request of captain Kensei Muguruma of the 9th Division. Urahara elected Hiyori to go to the site, to which she became irritated and asked why he couldn't send someone less important, referring to lab assistant Akon. He questioned if she should continue being a lieutenant prompting Hiyori to attack him, though he simply dodged her. Though reluctant Hiyori gave in once Urahara explained that she was the only one that he could trust with the task.
After an incident that got Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi banished and several captains and seated officers Hollowfied, Mayuri later succeeded Urahara in leading the Research and Development Institute as well becoming captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13.
He also experimented on Quincy, including Sōken Ishida, Uryū's master and grandfather, in his studies. He believed that upon Sōken Ishida's death the Quincy had been entirely wiped out, and was disappointed to learn that Uryū was a Quincy because he considered his study of the Quincy complete and did not want any further Quincy specimens.

Name: Ashisogi Jizo
Translation – Leg-cutting Jizo (spirit the protects small children)
Unreleased Appearance
Mayuri's Zanpakutō's guard is wrapped in a cloth, and has several spiky protrusions sticking out right below the blade, which appear to resemble leaves. The hilt is pink. Unlike most Shinigami, his Zanpakutō's sheath hangs directly in front of him, instead of to his side as they are commonly worn, through a visibly modified hook on the end of the hilt of Ashisogi Jizō.

Spirit Appearance
Ashisogi Jizō's spirit takes the form of a baby-sized creature with a similar, though smaller, head to its Bankai state. It has regular arms and legs as opposed to the caterpillar-like body that his Bankai has. It also has wings similar to a butterfly and appears to be capable of flight. There is also a small amount of blue hair on its head. Ashisogi Jizō speaks in a series of garbled beeping sounds and can be heard saying "Bankai" in a very high-pitched voice

Zanpakutō Shikai
--------------------
Call Out Phrase: Rip
Shikai Appearance
Ashisogi Jizō's blade glows and transforms into a deformed trident with curved, serpentine blades, the middle blade is straighter and longer than the side blades and appear to ascend from the guard which is shaped like a baby's head with hands clasped in prayer (as Ksitigarbha is depicted), all mounted on his sword's normal hilt which has more ornate spiky protrusions on either side, which resemble golden leaves right below the guard. The baby's mouth secretes a poisonous vapor in this form at various intervals.
Shikai Abilities
Paralyzing Poison
- Description of Attack - The weapon works like the venom of a spider bite; when an opponent is stabbed by Ashisogi Jizō, it severs the brain signals controlling the neural impulses for movement in the limbs of the victim, regardless of where they were struck. But unlike regular paralysis, the pain receptors and nerve endings are unaffected by the weapon, so the victim can still feel pain, even in a paralyzed limb.During the Bount arc, it is shown that healing the stab wound does not immediately remove the inflicted paralysis.
- Type - Offensive
- Range - The length of the blade
- Limitation - He has to cut you with his blade for it to take effect.
--------------------
Zanpakutō Bankai
--------------------
Name: Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo
Translation – Golden Leg-cutting Jizo
Bankai Appearance
The Baby's head on the guard opens its mouth as it produces a giant creature with the body of a caterpillar in a red cape with a grotesque golden baby's head and arms with a silver halo hovering around its head, near the back of the halo are 4 bells, 2 on each side. It emits its own individual, red reiatsu upon release. When in this form his Zanpakutō returns to its sealed state. In this state the creature seems to follows Mayuri's verbal commands.
Bankai Abilities
Airborne Poison
- Description of Attack - The creature breathes a poisonous derivative of Mayuri's blood which is lethal to anyone who breathes it, aside from Mayuri and Nemu. The poison spreads through such a wide area, and it is almost impossible to avoid it. Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō's poison is very potent, as Szayel Aporro's body started to break down immediately after it was introduced. The poison has an antidote, which Nemu keeps behind her lieutenant's badge, and which Mayuri keeps on his person. Mayuri can change the composition of the poison as well, ensuring that no foolproof antidote can ever be manufactured to cure it, and no immunity is developed against it. Even if the opponent does not breathe, the poison will still enter their body. So far, the only way to be unaffected by the poison is to repel it with a sufficient amount of reiatsu. Anyone within the vicinity of the person repeling the poison will also be unaffected.
- Type - Offensive
- Range - 100 miles
- Limitation - So far, the only way to be unaffected by the poison is to repel it with a sufficient amount of reiatsu. Anyone within the vicinity of the person repeling the poison will also be unaffected. Also I guess if you were some hoe able to pickpocket Mayuri or Nemu you could chug the antidote. Also the poison doesn’t spread quickly as shown by not half the Serietei dying when Mayuri used it against Uryu
Retractable Blades
- Description of Attack - Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō can produce numerous blades which can also extend from its chest, allowing it to run through and skewer opponents. This, used simultaneously with its poison makes Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō particularly lethal to anyone that cannot keep a safe distance, which is also difficult due to its immense size. Instead of the blades, it can also apparently devour an opponent after it charges into them, killing them.
- Type - Offensive
- Range - That thing is pretty big I’d say 40 feet.
- Limitation - You can dodge if your fast enough
Self-Destruct Protocol
- Description of Attack -Mayuri has also physically modified Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō itself so that it will self-destruct and return to its sealed state if it were to attack him
- Type - Defensive
- Range - N/A
- Limitation - N/A

Sample Post
--------------------
The lights in the Shinigami Research and Development Department buzzed overhead as Captain Mayuri Kurosutchi made his way through the medically clean halls. There were no windows in the entire complex of buildings so it was easy to lose track of time, of course Kurosutchi’s internal clock was accurate to the millisecond so he had no such woes. As he walked down the corridor the Captain was acutely annoyed, an idiot of a scientist nearly blew up half the R&D Department when he added double the actual dose of Solarium Nitrate to a simple solution. Complete and utter morons the lot of them. Kurosutchi continued to briskly walk down the stark corridor and as he continued deeper and deeper into the complex other researchers and people in general were seen less and less until eventually Kurosutchi reached hid destination, he opened the door of the room and found one of the advanced observation labs. It was filled to the brim with advanced machinery that was buzzing and blinking and assistants and researchers alike ran back and forth, at the front of the room was a large plate glass window the overlooked a large, currently empty room. Kurosutchi approached the lead researcher and placed his hand forcefully on his shoulder, hard enough to make the man jump up and shout.
“AAAAH! C-C-C-Captain Kurosutchi, we have the test subjects prepared, we’re ready when you are sir.”
Kurosutchi looked down at the man with a scowl on his face.
“Why do you think I’m here you fool? To chat? Bring out the specimens now.”
The scientist nodded his head many times in quick succession and ran to one of the consoles of electronics and begin hammering away and buttons, suddenly down in the room the lab overlooked a panel in the wall slid open and several malnourished individuals were thrown into the room by some burly members of squad 12. Some managed to struggle to their feet and looked around the room, which to one inside would appear almost painfully bright because of the stark white walls and floor, and would smell strongly of chemical cleaning agents. Kurosutchi looked down at the men in the room and then back to his lead researcher
“These are the specimens from group B-116 that I requested?”
The man quickly nodded again
“Yessir Captain Kurosutchi.”
The Captain looked down on the men with a look of intrigue on his face
“And you have kept them to the physical and medical regime I prescribed, correct?”
“Completely Sir, we followed your specifications to a T.”
“Excellent, then we are ready to begin. Apply the dose of Hydrochloric Acid”
The lead researcher scuttles over to a panel of controls as Kurosutchi looks out the viewing window at the men below with an expectant look on his face, as he watches one several of the panels in the ceiling of the room slide back to reveal what appear to sprinklers of some kind. The men peer up at ceiling at the sound of the panels retracting as they do and liquid substance begins to rain down on them, them take a step backwards, startled, but the sprinklers are positioned to coat the entire room evenly. As the liquid begins to coat the men it seems to have no effect and they stand there confused.
“It seems to be working.”
The researcher looks at Captain Kurosutchi who seems to be deep in thought.
“Captain?”
Kurosutchi is staring at the men in the chamber and then turns to the researcher to his right.
“Increase the concentration of acid to 85%”
The man seems a little flustered but quickly nods, already used to the goings on of the R&D Department and more relevantly, it’s Head.
“Yessir”
The head researcher walks over to a console and moves one of the levers on it, this prompts an immediate reaction from the men in the chamber below, the glass is soundproof so it is impossible to hear their screams in the lab but all of them mean are rolling around clawing at their skin is it smokes and burns, they are clearly in incredible pain. Captain Kurosutchi is still watching the men’s plight from above and seems to be considering something
“Introduction of the Arrancar DNA seems to have increased the resistance of their dermis although not to level of the Hierro as I had hoped, increase the concentration of acid to 95%”
The researcher looks hesitant and looks back at Kurosutchi who merely waves him towards the controls, he flips a few more switches and a horror ensues. The men begin completely dissolving eyes melt, muscles fall off the bone, and skin is liquefied. Kurosutchi merely looks one with a look of disgust on his face
“As I suspected the amounts of sodium thiosulphate were too low, increase them to 8 parts per million and increase the amount of sodium in their nutrient slush by .6% then run the test again.”
The lead researcher looks very tired and for some reason doesn’t seem disgusted by the fact that his Captain just liquefied 10 men, he turns and grabs a clipboard with a data sheet clipped to it and starts scribbling on it as he walks out of the room. Kurosutchi is still looking down in the chamber at the bleach white skeletons that used to be people, he turns to an assistant that is doing something with one of the machines.
“Call the clean up crew and get them to clear away that mess would you.”
The women nods her head and scurries to a intercom on the wall and pages in a clean up team as Mayuri Kurosutchi stands looking at the bones with a smirk on his face
“Very good will have this down with 10 or 15 more tests at this rate.”
Everyone else in the room seems to sloutch down a little lower then they already were as Captain Kurosutchi stands there looking like the mad, mad scientist he is.
