PHYSIOLOGY

Features like an Uchiha, pitch-black hair and jet-black eyes: these are the two things that I have defined Shunsui's appearance all his life. As normal as it may seem, it was an exotic look among the Grass. If that wasn't enough, his hair always carried rather odd features, most particularly at the sideburns. At the age of twenty-four it shows more than ever, as his sideburns grow thin near the end of his ear before curling. As hard as it may be to believe, it is an all-natural occurence from his genetics. In the back, his hair spikes out a bit, and though it is rarely seen underneath the straw hat that he wears, his hair also flows back toward his spikes while being rather spiky itself. In terms of his eyes, they carry something of an innocent and interested glare.

A man of decent height and good strength, Shunsui is a projected five and teen feet tall, and in terms of weight, he clocks at one-hundred forty-five pounds. His frame, although small in appearance, consists of little fat and predominant muscle. Flexible said muscle is, and supple is his body, granting him ease of movement in combat (and a wide range at that). His muscle is sculpted, but also lean, which is all the result of his training with his shishō's snakes. Among other things, his skin is also fair, the norm for shinobi of the Grass.

When it comes to his attire, Shunsui dresses in a very traditional and respectful manner. He dresses in layers, styling a skin-tight, white T-shirt that he wears underneath a black, shitagi top. He tops his top layer off with a green haori littered with white circles around the collar. To hold his inner layer together (that is, everything inside the haori), he wears a white, obi sash. His bottom half comes equipped with a pair of brown, hakama-himo bottoms, white, tabi socks, and a pair of waraji sandals. He keeps his sword inside of his sash, centered on the left hip, and for the most part, this is the only weapon he will carry. His haori does have a few pockets though, and he will occasionally use these to store supplementary items such as pills or drugs or scrolls or smoke bombs. Lastly, is a straw hat, which he wears for multiple reasons.

PSYCHOLOGY

Shunsui is an awkward mix between childlike and mature: a man whose heart belongs to few and whose mind roams with the wind. He has always been carefree, for as far back as he can remember, never one to worry about what the future may hold. For him, life is a playground meant to be enjoyed, and for this reason, the young man rarely displays his serious side. Even in the middle of heated combat with powerful opponents he will hold his cool. Sometimes, he may even go as far as making small talk or cracking jokes, and there isn't much that one can do to unnerve him or sway his emotions.

As quick-witted as this may make him at times, Shunsui is, for the most part, clueless when it comes to "advanced" dialogue. If you were to hit on him, for example, he'd be inclined to become awkward and confused, and he'd be far from "getting your drift". The same applies to some sarcasms and "advanced" jokes; they just fly right over his head. When talking to him, one may find themselves having to explain more often than they may please. This gives him an air of innocence and naivety that is quite unusual for someone of his situation. He is a loving person as a trade-off though, which makes it rather easy to gain friends and/or acquaintances. He prefers not to hurt anyone or anything. Though he realizes that fighting is inevitable, he also realizes that killing isn't the only way, hence his mastery over Genjutsu, and he'd willing to step in and help a person if he saw them being treated unfairly.

This is all apart of his childlike demeanor though, which is most apparent in the way he speaks. He refers to most people by honorifics such as senpai and kohai, saving the samas and the sans exclusively for Orochi-sama, Ukitake-san, and figures of authority. You'd also never hear a kun or a chan from him unless he has affection toward that person (or teasing around). His manner of speaking alone is very playful in nature, and he is somewhat soft spoken, preferring not to speak loudly or robustly. A respectful person at heart, he will refer to even the worst of enemies in an honorable manner regardless of the situation at hand.

Shunsui is not without rhyme or reason however, despite how much his persona may scream otherwise, and it is actually dangerous to assume that he is too naive to old his own. But then again, isn't that point? He realizes full well that the air that his personality gives off breeches and lowers most people's guards inherently, which is why he fully excepts the way he acts. From his respectable speech to his willingness to joke around in combat, almost everything that he does has a purpose.

It is also important to note that he is inclined toward trickeries and deceptions as he used to be a prankster, and he is a great liar because of this (along with the fact that he has had to live a life of lies on several occasions). Then again, "liar" doesn't justify it as much as "deceiver" does. Not only has Shunsui had to tell some of the most "S-rank lies" one could ever tell, but he has been able to tell them and act them out with great ease. When deceiving people, he has learned that it is less about how credible you are and more about the inner confidence you have. It's all about your ability to believe what you're selling, and after that, you only need timing and delivery. It is near impossible tell if he's lying whenever he does lie, and only Orchi-sama and Ukitake-san have learned to differentiate; however, there is still relative difficulty even then. This shows in combat as well, as he prefers things such as misdirection, and he isn't above "underhanded" tactics to bring out the win. His favorite phrase is "Trickster Bloom, Second Flower" (詐欺師満開, 第二花; "Sagishi Mankai, Daini Hana"), which means to never let down when in the presence of a trickster; a double entendre, it also refers specifically to his own deceptive nature and ability to plan in advance and concoct backup plan after backup based on what he observes, serving as something of a playful warning to his enemies.

Shunsui's greatest weakness at the end of the day if his love and affection for his comrade and brother, Orchi-sama and Ukitake-san respectively, and he would do what he must to protect them and/or please them. Despite his aversion toward killing for example, he has killed for Orochikami in the past without ever questioning the act, and he would have killed for Ukitake if his brother wasn't as peace oriented as himself. In Shunsui's mind, it himself and his "family" against the world, and really, that's all that matters. While he wouldn't get wound up if one insulted either two, threatening their names alone is enough to put you on his hit list--if only to make sure you don't actually try to kill them.

NATURE AFFINITIES & MANIPULATIONS

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Mental Aptitude

Shunsui's mental ability consists of two main things: his intelligence and his intuition. Both make him a very smart and knowledgeable man. Being highly analytical and even more intuitive, he can pick up on things very quickly, and given the things that he has seen, it isn't easy to take him off guard. During such times that he is taken aback though, he retains the ability to quickly adjust and adapt to the situation. Not only analytical, Shunsui is also equally intuitive, and this is how he is able to decode most situations down to the "T". As such, he is exceptional when it comes to drawing conclusions and putting together missing pieces, and he is even better at observing and assessing situations.

This is attributed to his great medical knowledge, which has made him the great Iryōnin that he is. This knowledge is not just in the body, but it is also in his understanding of genetics, which he uses to aid his own endeavors. It is with this knowledge that he has created such techniques as Saisei no Jutsu, which grant him the ability to regenerate and regrow missing body parts, and such drugs as his Shiranugahotokeda, which is a powerful thought inhibitor. He is also well-versed with the use of Medical Ninjutsu to an extent that he can use it to kill shall the need arise.

Finally is Shunsui's worth as a tactician, which is of the finest one could encounter. A master of logistics first and foremost, he boasts great ability at directing and guiding people. He is the type of person who can find an ally's strengths and weaknesses after only a short time fighting alongside them, and he can order formations on the fly to fit these areas of expertise. Similarly, he can pick apart the strengths and weaknesses of opposing formations just as quickly, which makes him a dangerous opponent to fight. The most dangerous aspect of Shunsui however is that he never enters a fight unprepared. More often than not, he does as much research as possible on a person before he fights them, and if he can't do it before hand, he will do it through battle by means of misdirection. However, don't be surprised if you're fighting full force against the young and defeat him . . . only to see him "poof". Most times, he aims to stay a step or two above his opponent.

Medical Expertise

As a combat medic, Shunsui is very versed in the ways of close-quarters-combat. Most particularly is his ability to read and decipher the attack patterns of his enemies to adjust his tactics accordingly. He pays attention to many things such as the dominant foot, the dominant hand, the eyes, the face, and other such things that reveal a person's line of attack. He has also learned to read a person's body movements and momentum shifts from the hips down to predict when and where they will move. Cumulatively, this grants him the ability to see through even complex attack patterns from the strongest of shinobi.

In terms of actual, offensive combat, he wields a special sword by the name of Hebimaru, which he uses to store and administer his special drugs. With this weapon, the ideal it simply to get a cut (made easy due to his skills in analysis), which will then transfer a great amount of the stored substance into a person's body. This is typically his primary form of combat, and he is fluent enough in the ways of Kenjutsu to hide true abilities. If ever he has to enter hand-to-hand combat, he takes on an unorthodox style among combat medics, using the Mystical Palm to overload the target's system--which in turn puts them in a comatose state. He can also use it to kill if the circumstances are right, though this is not possible in heated combat. As taught to him by his shishō's snakes, Shunsui's combat style is also heavily centered around evasion. He is quick, nimble, and flexible, able to move in and out of attacks with little difficulty.

Lastly, as a medic, Shunsui has access to precise chakra control. This is ideal for his healing abilities, and is attribute to his trademark as a medic. Shunsui’s most redeeming skill as an Iryōnin is not his ability to heal, but his ability to stabilize. In a matter of minutes, he can completely stabilize even the worst of injuries, ensuring the safety of the patient’s status before healing the wound and/or affliction, and this is reflected in his personal survival rate. Due partially to his years of study, he also possesses great knowledge of various herbs, drugs, and poisons, and he has incorporated all of these into a variety of different techniques. The deadliest thing about this knowledge is that most of his weapons are coated in concoctions that produce various effects on the human body. He has also used this knowledge to create various, powerful drugs, as well as building an immunity to some of the most dangerous poisons out there.

Genjutsu Prowess

When it comes to Genjutsu, Shunsui boasts great talent. While his splendid chakra control does play a role in this, his intelligence is what really makes him so formidable. He has a rather intricate knowledge of the mind and how Genjutsu affects it, so he is able to produce very devastating techniques by stimulating much more of the bran than the average shinobi, and he can even take techniques that would normally be harmless and make them ranks stronger than what they are. The illusions that he weaves are of the highest caliber, having a very high degree of vividness and realism. While this does make his Genjutsu harder to break, it boosts the damage considerably as well, and he can typically cause mental strain with techniques of any rank depending on what the illusion does. Not only a master at administering Genjutsu, Shunsui is also an escape artist, having a few more ways than Kai to get out of an opponent's Genjutsu.
