In Character

Family Name: Ukitake

First Name: Juushiro

Age: One of the oldest captains, alongside Shunsui. Older than the academy itself. Looks to be late 20s, early 30s.

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 135 lbs

Division [Shinigami]: 13th Captain

Personality (Basic description): He's a kind, honest man, despite the fact that he's physically very ill. He's also incredibly loyal, with his own sense of personal justice that, when it conflicts with the 'world's justice', will take precedence. His beliefs mean a lot to him, as can be viewed by the manner in which he defended Rukia oh-so-long ago. He has a habit of giving odd, sometimes unwanted gifts to people... especially Toushiro. Finally, he would prefer not to kill if at all possible.

Physical Appearance:
Lanky and thin, is the easiest way to describe him. He would look almost anorexic, if it weren't for the lean muscle that comes from physical fitness. He has long white hair that is always kept loose. It falls somewhere behind his back, halfway to the small itself. Typically he can be caught in his captain's haori over his traditional shinigami outfit. He keeps his blade at his left side, sheathed in a sash along his waist. No tassles hang from his blade - it is kept simple.
He wears socks and sandles, trying his hardest to put on a usual outlook, specifically so people do not think him weakened though it is quite obvious he is.

History/ Biography:
Juushiro comes from a low-class aristocracy, where he took care of his multiple siblings alone. He befriended Shunsui Kyouraku in the Shinigami Academy, and was not only one of the first graduates to come from the academy, but one of the first Captains, as well. He was personally trained by Yamamoto Genryuusai. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis back when his hair was still short, which changed his hair color white.
After winning the Captaincy of the thirteenth division he performs most of his duties with the help of his co-third seats from his home in the thirteenth division headquarters.

Zanpakutoh [Shinigami, Arrancar] (Include possible shikai to be obtained):
Asuchi - It is a typical Asuchi, in the form of a basic katana. No special tassels hang from it, and there are no odd hilt designs. The handle is long enough to be gripped easily by both hands.
Shikai form [ truth of pisces ] - Release; Every wave become my shield, every thunder become my blade. Sougyo no Kotowari
A pair of blades that are vaguely reminsicent of fishing spears - the blunt side of each weapon has an inversed hook that can be used as another point - it too is sharp. The weapons are connected at the base of the hilt by a relatively thick cord that possesses multiple charms along it's center. In this form, he is capable of controlling and creating water and lightning, though there is very little crackle or bend and appears more like light.

Sample Post:
He brought the napkin to his face, smiling easily - he'd just finished his meal of umeboshi-chazuke, and he absolutely felt wonderful. Or at least, more wonderful than he'd felt in a long while. Something about the flavor almost always made his world a better place, despite the constant pain in his chest. He looked around, noting the distinct lack of noise. The co-third seats were obviously either asleep or somewhere else; their noise would have been exhausting if they were around with their constant attempts to see who was better. Eventually he'd have to promote one of them.
Standing, he moved towards the door of his room, careful to grab the white haori that denoted his status as captain of the thirteenth division. Hand grasped the doorknob as he decided that for now, he would go and visit with Shunsui. It'd been days since their last meeting, and it had not been under the greatest of circumstances.
So, with a light grin and his zanpakutou at his side, he started off for the eighth division headquarters.

Ebert and Roper give it two thumbs up. >_>
