Fukumoto Sei

[akesato]

Name: Fukumoto Sei
Age: 150+ (Appears 18)
Gender: Female
Personality:

Sei is quite clumsy when it comes to her daily routine. She takes the stereotype of a blonde to a whole new level. Though she does have a bit of intelligence, it seems to be lost due to her slight lack of common sense. She does, however, hold a very big heart. She cares for her friends, and would give anything to protect those close to her. She has an innocence like no other, standing for justice and all that good stuff, quite contradicting to the 'chaotic neutral' alignment of most Vizards.

She is very trusting, and believes that everyone should have a second chance, which sometimes works against her. She can be kind of childish, and a ditz at times, but her company is normally always enjoyed due to her happy-go-lucky atmosphere that she gives off.

She loves being the center of attention, and more often that not, subconsciously wears clothes that are either too skimpy, or compliment her well prone figure in a lustful manner. Still, at times, this might inquire the wrong type of attention; still, such things are normally lost upon the blonde as she simply either laughs it off, or allows it to go over her head.

Appearance:

Sei stands at about 5ft4 weighing a meager 110 pounds. Her light blonde hair falls just below her waist and her eyes are a brilliant sapphire color. Her skin is a creamy white porcelain shade and her body type would best be described as curves galore; her ample DD sized bust slightly too large for her frame.

Being the complete attention whore that she is, Sei prefers dressing in tight fitted clothing that accentuates her luscious figure. Her normal day to day outfit consists of a light blue corset with lavender ruffles, a pair of hip hugging faded jeans, and white, strapped sandals with three inch heels.

Hollow Mask:

Sei's hollow mask has six horns protruding from the top, similar to Naraku's appearance. There are a few black markings and the middle third is painted red.

Hollow Powers:

Enhanced Speed

Enhanced Strength

Cero

Inner Hollow:

Nuraku takes the form of a muscular red-skinned man with black markings covering his entire body. His eyes are an eery shade of yellow and he has several small horns protruding from his head. He wears all black clothing which is covered by a thick, black hooded cloak.

Nuraku is best described as the strong, silent type. He chooses actions over words so there are very little arguments between he and Sei. He's highly intelligent and calculative and those traits carry over into battles, almost never letting bloodlust overwhelm him.

He often bumps heads with Sei's zanpakuto spirit; as he considers her to be completely useless in combat.

Zampakuto's name:

Fujiume (Purple Plum Blossom)

Zampakuto Spirit:

Fujiume's physical manifestation is that of a beautiful young woman with dark hair and deep purple eyes. She wears a brightly colored kimono and several elaborate hair ornaments.

Fujiume is soft-spoken and kind-hearted, never raising her voice above a whisper. The motherly spirit often tries to be Sei's conscience whenever the young Vizard starts to go astray or gets distracted by something particularly shiney, which happens quite frequently.

Un-released Zampakuto's Appearance:

Fujiume's sealed form is that of a normal katana. The handle is wrapped in gold silk and it the scabbard is gold laquer. Fujiume weighs a modest three pounds and is 41 inches in length.

Shikai Release phrase::

"Saku (Bloom), Fujiume."

Shikai Appearance::

In its released form, Fujume transforms into a gold and black tessen (Japanese war fan). The tessen is a metal weapon that usually consists of between ten and twenty iron spokes bound together at their base by a pin. The spokes are connected along much of their length by iron plates. To reduce weight, some fans use iron only for the outer spokes, while using bamboo or other lightweight wood for the inner.

The fan is effective as a weapon both in its open and closed positions. When closed, the fan can be used as a fighting baton, a one hand blunt weapon, to block, crush or club an opponent. It can also be used as a throwing weapon itself in the closed position. When open, the fan can effectively block both melee and range weapon attacks. The sharpened edges can also be used offensively for cutting or slicing moves.

Shikai Abilities::

Ability 1: Fragrant Frenzy - Fujiume pulses before releasing a dark purple mist; filling the air with the strong scent of plum blossoms within a 20 foot radius. The mist has intense aphrodisiac properties; making opponent feel extremely aroused and attracted to Sei. It's difficult to resist, requiring sheer willpower or a different orientation to prevent losing the desire to fight.

Sei can control the direction of the mist, but again, it only has a 20 foot attack radius.

Ability 2: Poignant Pollination- The mist becomes a light powder that attempts to cling onto those in it, creating an intense stinging sensation to the skin it touches.

History/Background:

Akira Fukumoto was an unseated officer serving the 9th Division under the leadership of Kensei Muguruma. It was during a routine training mission to Karakura town that he sensed a strange reiatsu, which would eventually lead him to a natural born Vizard named Usagi. At first, Akira and Usagi didn't mesh well at all, seeing as Akira had never heard of Vizards before. He even went so far as to accuse her of being a hollow in disguise.

It didn't take long at all for the gentle and beautiful Usagi to convince him otherwise. The two became fast friends and Akira would sneak off to visit with Usagi everytime he was sent out on a mission to the living world. Over time, friendship blossomed into love which the two kept secret for fear of repercussions from either side.

A child was conceived during the course of their forbidden romance. A daughter, which they named Sei as a symbol of Akira's undying loyalty to his division and his captain. Soon, Akira found himself unable to choose between fatherhood and his obligation to the Gotei 13. Begrudgingly, he left his daughter in Usagi's care and returned to his life as a Shinigami. He would visit his secret family whenever he could, and on Sei's 50th birthday, he presented her with her very own zanpakuto.

Being an unconventional Vizard, a half-breed if you will, Sei relied heavily on her mother's guidance to keep her inner hollow at bay. And during Akira's short visits, he would work with his daughter, passing on all the knowledge he acquired as a Shinigami. After several years, Sei was finally able to achieve Shikai and even learned a bit of shunpo, though she would never be as fast as her father.

Several months rolled by and Akira never showed up for his usual visits. Usagi had no way of contacting him so she could only assume the worst. Being the doting father that he was, there was no other explanation for his sudden absence. Unfortunately, she was right. He had been part of the investigation team that had been sent to Rukongai on the night Kensei and the others were hollowfied. To this day, it remains a mystery on what exactly happened to Akira and his teammates. There were no bodies to be recovered; only their uniforms and zanpakutos were left behind.

Sei continues to live with her mother in Karakura. Usagi even opened up a small bakery in the center of town which she named Fukumoto Bakery, as a tribute to the love of her life, Akira.

RP Sample:

"Sei-chan, get me the flour." Usagi called out as she cracked two eggs into a large mixing bowl sitting on the counter.

"Coming, Okaa-san!" The bubbly blonde chirped, moving over to the pantry and pulling out a canister. Sei always enjoyed helping her mother do the baking for the store. It was surprisingly relaxing and also made her feel somewhat useful. While bringing the flour to her mother the less than graceful Sei somehow managed to trip on thin air. "Oh!" she cried out as she toppled forward, the tin canister flying from her hands.

Fortunately, the older woman's cat-like reflexes allowed her to drop what she was doing and catch the canister before it hit the floor. "Silly girl." Usagi shook her head and smiled, offering her daughter her hand to help her back to her feet.

"Sorry," Sei giggled as she took her mother's hand and stood up. Maybe it hadn't been the best idea to wear her three inch heals to work. Not that it would have mattered anyways. The girl was a walking disaster! With a soft sigh, she dusted herself off and moved to stand beside her mother at the counter, watching in awe as Usagi stirred the ingredients. "What are you making?"

"Mochi," her mother replied, pouring the batter into a square pan. "Your father's favorite." she added, her blue eyes conveying a hint of sadness.

Sei shifted a bit uncomfortably, knowing that her father had always been a touchy subject ever since his disappearance. She was young when it happened, but still remembered it like it was yesterday.

"Do.." The young Vizard finally spoke up in an attempt to break the awkward silence between the two women. "Do you think he would be proud of me?"

Without a word, Usagi wrapped her arms around her daughter in a tight embrace, tears welling up in her sparkling blue eyes.

"I know he would."
