These might be some things you hear around the 4th Division that unfortunately falls under the command of it's tragic Captain, Noro Kitagawa. He's lazy, will do just about anything to get out of work and will always show up last minute to something important or just not show up at all. People often wonder..."How did he become a Captain!? Let alone the Captain of one of the most important Divisions!" And that's is an excellent thing to wonder! The answer is simple! Noro has the uncanny ability to fall upwards. Every step he's taken has been to avoid doing any real work and has sabotaged himself several times over the years and yet he still rises in ranks, this is due to him being an immensely talented prodigy, he learns almost instantly however he hates this talent, he only wants to live a normal life and the only reason he is a Shinigami is because it's tradition within his family. Noro is the worst in so many area's but he will leave a patient dying on the table until the last second, unless it is the most urgent thing, he doesn't show any will to carry out and complete the task. Noro's attitude has frustrated EVERYONE in his life, that's his family, his teachers, his superiors, his patients, his subordinates and this likely is down to how lazy he is about everything but probably more "We know what you're capable of you lazy shit!". All in all however he is a good person, he's nice to people and his temper very rarely flares, he eventually helps everyone that does need real super serious help, he works hard when he MUST and he doesn't like fighting unless he entirely 100% has to and this is for two reasons, one of which can likely be guessed. In truth though he's a talented healer, talented fighter and is both the good and bad reason as to why the 4th Division holds itself together. Something about him is infectious to most and people tend to use him as a bit of a verbal punching bag which helps them vent their frustrations and all the while he doesn't mind. Everybody's job is stressful and he does add to that, but in turn he works as an outlet that they can vent at which works in some way. Putting aside this part of Noro though, there is the immensely rare serious side, everyone has one. This shows at a grand old rate of about 0.05%. This put into words is simply "When hell freezes over" Which could be once every year, no one really goes there, or it could be once every thousand. Point is, it's a very rare occurrence and when it does occur...well then you have something to worry about. Noro when he's serious is something you do not want to see, it's like watching him take his own shackles off and watching him go from operating at 2% to 110%. Only one person alive has seen Noro at this point and even they wont mess with him in that state and they'd throw down with just about anyone. If this man stopped messing around and put his mind to it, he could probably conquer the damn universe...let's all be grateful he doesn't want to do that much work and is already pushing his limited limits by being a Captain.

He was raised by a strict father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, auntie, older brother, younger sister, older cousins, younger cousins and so on. He has a fairly large family and has had certain...expectations put on him. Why him specifically? Because he's a once in a million years kind of prodigy and yet...he's unfortunately him. He's been this way from the first day and nothing and no one has cracked him into shape. His family tried everything they could but he just wouldn't crack no matter what, and I mean they tried just about everything! They even dropped him off in a hollow hot spot in hopes he'd have to fight his way out and fortunately enough for him, no hollows appeared...in fact the spot went dead cold after he was put there and no hollows actually returned ever again. So once he was at the right age, his family ga-uh had to follow tradition and thus sent him to the Shino Academy hoping that he'd be whipped into shape there, they still sit there to this day hoping he's been sorted out and are simply assuming no news is good news. Noro did what he did with everything in his life, he fell upwards, this is to say that he is the luckiest fu****g s**t to ever exist. In the Shino Academy he applied NO effort, he spent as little time possible learning and practising as he could and yet passsed every trial and test with flying colours. He picked up Zanjutsu techniques by seeing them once and swinging his sword in a similar way, he learned Hakuda by getting hit by his instructor and returning the favour, he watched and listened to Kido spells being cast and memorised them and Hoho was stupid natural for him. All of this he had to be forced to do with severe threats from his Teachers but also the Head Captain, something that was very strange in itself. Then there was learning to communicate with his Zanpakuto...effectively he ignored it so much that IT got sad about him ignoring it intentionally and it made all the contact with him, he just listened, emulated and went back to sleep. He mastered his Shikai more or less as soon as he got it and before he even hit tenth seat in the 4th Division he'd gained his Bankai and mastered that also. Then there is that. He was contacted by EVERY Division, they all wanted him and he had no idea why but he settled for the 4th Division as it seemed the easiest to do. You learned some healing Kido, healed someone and went back to sleep or something. There was no fighting involved AND YET! His Captain, Lieutenant, 3rd Seat, 4th Seat and on and on and on were on his case and kept trying to force him to do things, once again with severe threats. So he eventually rose through ranks against his own will and by the time he was at the tenth seat position he was effectively qualified to be a Captain off of his skill and strength alone, however the 4th Division didn't work like that thankfully which was good for him. There were at least 9 people ahead of him that could do their jobs excellently...HOWEVER! They then all died in an unfortunate internal war which left him as the only person qualified to take the position of Captain and thus he was forced into that position and somehow runs a successful Division despite being who he is.

These are some basics, as for technical there isn't much...His Spiritual energy colour is Pink & Violet mixed, he has his Zanpakuto strapped to his left hip as is normal and that's pretty much about it.

In Noro's eyes they're good chums but Kaizo may not see things the same way, Regardless Noro enjoys hanging around Kaizo and weirdly gets on with him or is at least very useful to Kaizo. Noro only got to know Kaizo so well due to Kaizo getting sent to the 4th Division many times and no one else wanting to deal with him and thus Noro was forced to and since then they sort of got on, although their first few encounters were a bit rocky which resulted in Kaizo pretty much dying and Noro realising one time that Kaizo could probably kick his ass. So in the end they both probably gained respect for one another and that's when they started to get along and get to know eachother outside of Noro healing Kaizo.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]???[/color] [color=#cc99ff]???[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]???[/color] [color=#cc99ff]???[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [hr] [Center][h2][sub][color=#c57893]╫[/color][color=#708090]Take all, Seimei no gisei[/color][color=#c57893]╫[/color] [color=#cc99ff]すべて取ります, 生命の犠牲[/color][/sub][/h2][h3][sub][/sub][/h3] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Is8oxBJ.jpg[/img] [h2][sub][i][color=#918151]"Huuu...why don't you ever do anything?"[/color][/i][/sub][/h2] [/center] [i][sub][color=#c57893]☲[/color][color=#708090] S P I R I T P E R S O N A L I T Y & I N N E R W O R L D[/color][/sub][/i] [Indent][Indent][color=#cc99ff]Seimei no gisei was once a very aggressive and demanding woman, however since having to deal with Noro she has actually changed quite a bit and is now much more calm and fights her desires for blood since she knows full well Noro simply doesn't listen to them. Instead she opts for the more polite approach and if that doesn't work she simply gives up and leaves him to it. She does however grow very excited when he gets serious as this means a lot of blood is going to spilled on almost every side and this is one of the things she lives for! The inner world in which she resides is fairly basic. It is simply a vast lake of blood with blood red tree's surrounding it entirely and if one were to perhaps stare at the lake long enough they may see a body or two temporarily emerge before sinking back down to the depths. This lake is rather interesting however, as Noro spills more of his own blood, the lake will begin to drain and when it reaches the bottom...well that's a secret.

Noro is capable of manipulating the Blood his Zanpakuto generates, Blood he/anyone/anything else spills. The more Blood on the battlefield, the stronger his abilities become. His Zanpakuto also draws in blood from a large area so that it pools around and beneath Noro and his opponent, this helps it's abilities perform to a stronger level. It's theorised that if Noro was sent to a battlefield, he could turn the tide of a war by himself due to how strong his Zanpakuto's abilities would become due to the bloodshed. His Shikai can become quite terrifying due to it's blood orientated abilities and with the ability to inflict his opponents with several poisons through blood. However his Zanpakuto also contains the ability to provide second to none healing! He could heal someone from near on the verge of death with his Zanpakuto's ability. It should be noted that the most valuable blood is Noro's own, as he spills his own his Zanpakuto abilities become drastically stronger due to his sacrifice.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][Hider=Liquid Series] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Sticky Blood[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]The Blood Noro's Zanpakuto generates will become drastically thicker, When his opponent is hit by this Sticky blood it will stick to them and begin to slowly eat away at their flesh, if this blood were to be removed somehow then the wound it caused would remain constantly open and thus continue to to bleed and feed Noro's abilities. This blood can be flung around by waving his sword about or fired off towards the opponent in the form of an arc. [/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Puddle of blood[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]This ability is useless until a battle has gone on for some time. As Blood has spilled over the battlefield and pooled, Noro gains some tricky abilities. Noro can effectively travel from blood puddle to blood puddle, this also is true for his Zanpakuto which he could stab through a blood puddle under him or just in front of him and have his Zanpakuto emerge from another blood puddle in an attempt to stab/cut an opponent. This can also be combined with some of his solid series abilities. This ability will become immensely strong however if the entire field beneath their feet becomes blood.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood is in the air tonight[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]Noro will stab his Zanpakuto into the blood beneath his feet and cause it to scatter and spread into the air as a fine mist, this makes the area around him look simply like a red mist and thus makes him hard to see, if used when the battlefield is completely covered in blood then the entire battlefield will become covered in this red mist. From this mist however a few abilities can be spawned. Also due to the spiritual nature of this blood (From himself, his Zanpakuto and opponents) he becomes harder to sense on spiritual energy alone. [/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood rain[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]This ability requires Noro to make a sacrifice of his own blood. The blood he sacrifices to his Zanpakuto will begin to swirl around it, he will then point his Zanpakuto into the sky as a rather large amount of blood shoots into the sky and for a moment, turns the sky above them red. The for only a few moments blood will rain down on both him and his opponent but more specifically, this is to cover the battlefield so he can use his abilities wherever he please.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [/hider][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][Hider=Solid Series] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Bloody Buddy[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]Noro can create clones of himself by solidifying the blood around him, these clones can attack however but they're no good in physical combat and thus he often casts Kido from them, sacrificing themselves to fire said Kido. He does however use this ability defensively and can use his mastery of Hoho to create a clone of blood that will take the hit for him, this clone will explode throwing blood all over his opponent which can lead the way to deadly combinations with other abilities [/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood Shield[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]A simple ability that raises blood around Noro, encasing him and solidifying greatly in order to protect him from harm, this can also be used to fire spikes of solid blood from it that will attempt to push back an opponent and pierce them several times.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Hand of Blood[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]Blood will begin to rise around Noro and create two large arms of solid Blood, these arms can be used in a variety of ways such as casting Kido or aiding Noro in attacking his opponent, perhaps even grabbing them.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood Spikes[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]This ability works only if someone is close to Noro (early fight) or nearly anywhere as the fight goes on. Noro has the ability to cause spikes to emerge from the blood around him or an opponent and pierce them in several places, even holding them in place due to the multiple angles they would have been impaled from.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood Scythe[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]Can only be used when "Blood is in the air" is in effect or when Noro has taken an attack and his own blood has sprayed into the nearby area. The blood floating in the air will form to create a solid blood scythe that will attempt to impale it's opponent, in most cases it will form behind them and pierce them through the back and out of their chest and lift them into the air, or it will be used to execute someone.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood Monster[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]This ability is only possible when the battlefield is full of blood. A serpentine like creature will begin to from underneath the blood as if it was an ocean, breaching here and there for a moment as it moves around at an impressive speed. Noro can use this to simply distract his opponent or to physically attack them, however this can be done in multiple ways but it wall almost always try to consume and crush the opponent within it's jaws. This ability cannot last long though due to the amount of blood it will cost to hold it's form. [/color][/Indent][/Indent] [/hider][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][Hider=Poison Series] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Black Blood[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]The Blood on Noro's Zanpakuto will turn black, if an opponent is hit with this blood via a cut or stab, the area will become infected and the cells around that area will begin to die, turning their skin grey and making the body part unusable.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Pink Blood[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]The Blood on Noro's Zanpakuto will turn Pink, this indicates that a different poison is in effect. He must like the other ability, cut or stab his opponent directly with this. This poison will seemingly have no real bad effects until one may try to use Kido or any ability that requires their own spiritual energy. They will find their spiritual energy difficult to control as it will become unstable and thus cause things like Kido's to become imbalanced and explode. [/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Violet Blood[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]Like every other poison the blood on his Zanpakuto will turn Violet. This poison blood must be administered the same way as with every other poison ability however it's effects will begin to mess with an opponents sight and even hearing, causing their vision to warp, twist and show everything in vibrant colours, their ability to hear will fluctuate from super sensitive causing one to wince in pain or super silent making them near on deaf.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [/hider][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][Hider=Healing Series] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood in need[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]This ability is a painful one but an effective one, by piercing the target through the chest, Noro can heal all their wounds with his Zanpakuto's blood, he cannot however heal broken bones.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood Coffin[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]Noro will encase an ally within a coffin of blood that will slowly heal them, this can also be used to transport someone from a battlefield to a safer place.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [/hider][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][Hider=Weird & Wonderful Series] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Blood Kido[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]This works like a passive ability. All of Noro's Kido will become blood red in colour, this is due to him infusing his own blood into the Kido mix, this in turn calls on the power of his Zanpakuto and thus makes his Kido a great deal stronger than it's original counterpart. The obvious cost of this however is that it uses his blood and the greater the kido, the greater the cost.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [Indent][Indent][color=#708090]Let it flow[/color][color=#c57893]╫ [/color][color=#cc99ff]Another passive ability of Noro's Zanpakuto is that when he cuts an opponent with his Zanpakuto that wound will continue to bleed constantly and will not stop doing so, even healing the wound with Kido would only slow it slightly. The only way to stop this is to kill Noro, Die to him or be lucky enough that he seals his Zanpakuto thus stopping the ability.[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [/hider][/Indent][/Indent] [hr] [Center][h2][sub][color=#c57893]╫[/color][color=#708090]Bankai, Seimei no gisei[/color][color=#c57893]╫[/color] [color=#cc99ff]卍解, 生命の犠牲[/color][/sub][/h2][h3][sub][/sub][/h3][/center] [i][sub][color=#c57893]☲[/color][color=#708090] B A N K A I A P P E A R A N C E[/color][/sub][/i] [Indent][Indent][color=#cc99ff]TBR[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [i][sub][color=#c57893]☲[/color][color=#708090] B A N K A I A B I L I T I E S[/color][/sub][/i] [Indent][Indent][color=#cc99ff]TBR[/color][/Indent][/Indent] [/hider]
