& Resurreccion:
Release phrase: Atone
Ghost/grim reaper like creature, eyes are completely with black pupils, no white present. Nothing can be seen except the torn black cloak and red eyes.
However generally nothing is seen anyway, due to the resurreccions ability.
But has a skeletal being behind the cloak.
Shadow mist.
This is completely surrounds the opponent by shadows, somewhat like a mist but completely blocks out the light. The opponent is free to move, and the shadows only cover around 120-metre perimeter, as well as vertical height being 120 metres, but being able to manipulate these shadows and eyes allowing Kouzan to see everything this allows him to keep the enemy permanently engulfed in the shadows.
The shadows also withhold the screams, moans, and shrieks of those who have previously encountered the mist. Leaving the opponent disorientated and no way of being able to hear his approach. His reiatsu is hidden by the shadows, the only notice the opponent gets is when my eyes reach exactly 63 cm away from them. Meaning they have a very short period of time to attack him.
He can also make the shadows denser, this obviously means condensing the shadows, which takes away from the height and width off the perimeters.
Abilities:
No actual eyesight, but being able to see everything.
Being able to see both him and the rest of the world at the same time, being able to see rocks form every angle, and every distance. A complete sight of the world.
This ability is allows him to see everything in the world he is in (Hueco Mundo, Earth etc.) this ability allows him to see anything, from every possible angle and distance.
However this is obviously a great deal of information so is generally filtered to be just a short perimeter of sight of about 20-40 metres. Certain reiatsu’s may spark his interest, say that of a Shinigami or anyone/anything that may spark his interest.
This may be 2 miles or 200 miles away.
This ability is not based on seeing his reiatsu but their actual physical being, therefore they can not hide by suppressing there reaitsu, but may avoid his eyes until they reach a closer vicinity.
Personality:
As a Fraccion Kouzan's loyalties stay with his leader, 'Sigeric', the 10th Espada. Being apart of something allows him to feel a sense of comradery, this being a new, exciting and purposeful feeling compared to his previous life, he works only protect that bond he shares with so many, and will do anything to protect that.
Kouzan is extremely respectful and polite, aware of others opinions thoughts and beings, despite rank, race (Shinigami, Human, Hollow, Vizard etc.). He maintains this even when they disrespect him.
His manner when speaking is never condescending and in a tone slightly like Byakuya's. When people talk to him they feel a cold presence, chilling, a fear that there life is coming to an end, but at the same time they know he won't harm them (this only being the Espada who know him, enemies are generally completely fearful). The only one exempt of this would be those who refuse to show fear and Sigeric.
A great sadness is always upon him. His mind riddled with thoughts of his past life, he conceals this not with a smile but more of a gloomy shell. This shell does distance himself from others, which he despises, however Sigeric has befriended him and this is the closet thing he has had to a friendship or a family member.
Because of this Kouzan would do anything for Sigeric, even if higher Espada directed him otherwise, however he does have a respect for authority, and does as he is told without fault, of course with the exception of Sigeric's word.
The way he addresses an opponent always follows the same guidelines: a small speech saying how he does not wish to fight; but if he must then he shall not be frivolous and take his time, he will fight to the full extent of his abilities straight away.
If a battle draws on long enough there maybe some form of conversation, but this is generally just a response to something they opponent has said, as to not disrespect, otherwise he is comfortable fighting in silence.
However although this is extremely unlikely.
If they do manage to touch a nerve then he may react accordingly, depending on what they said, and the nerve they touched, for example; something that shows insight on his gloomy exterior or his inner sadness could lead to him being inquisitive etc.
Anger is something Kouzan felt a great deal of during his human life, something he still feels now, however he does not show this, again withheld by his gloomy exterior. However as time goes on and his bonds begin to grow stronger and more plentiful, this anger seems to diminish, but those who are disrespectful and aggressive towards him, even though this never shines through his exterior, his anger levels within build. But no one knows whether these two actions are balancing or if one is dominating only time will tell.
Biography/History:
During his human life there were many tragedies, he was born into the world and brought up by a single mother, and the added bonus of being blind, with an unusual trait, blood red eyes. as the years go on a few phrases become more and more familiar to him, 'your an accident' 'I hate you, you red eyed freak' 'I wish you were never born' . These phrases being memorised from the age of 5, as he grew older and started school, his life wasn't much easier, never going on any trips, or having any lunch, no new clothes, no unripped shirt, the only time he has heard his real name was when the teacher called it out on the register.
As he began to learn about the world, he began to become more and more disgusted by his mother, by the people he saw on the street, he learnt what an alcoholic was, what a ‘druggy’ was, what a prostitute was, what his mum was. All of these things angered, saddened, confused him. However he had decided that no matter what others did, he did not want others to feel what he had his entire life, he never wanted others to be sad or angered, so he made sure no matter what others did he would always be respectful and polite.
His mother died of a drug overdose and at the time he was 9.
With no other family, no friends, no one. he didn't know what to do.
So he laid in the corner of the apartment, already 4 months overdue on rent and waited. He didn't know why he was waiting but he didn't know what else he should do. Eventually death came upon him. But he still lay in the same corner; even in death he had no purpose. Many weeks later, no one knows how long for sure a hollow found him
Laying there. The hollow asked, "Why are you not afraid of me little boy, why do you not run" he did not reply he just laid there the hollow persisted to ask again, and again why he just lays there. Just said, "my hunger is growing and whatever your purpose, I am losing interest goodbye strange boy".
Hollow life.
Kouzan became a strange creature, awakening he found himself being able to see in a way he could have never imagined possible he wondered if all humans saw like he could, he was memorised by his red eyes the only thing he truly knew about himself. He felt a strange hunger unlike that of the one he felt as a human, this felt like am unbearable urge to hunt, this being the only true purpose he began to grow stronger, eating weaker hollows, changing into stronger and stronger forms. Consuming, and eventually finding himself becoming an arrancar, and becoming stronger still.
He starts to feel apart of something for the first time as he joins Sigeric's fraccion, Sigeric befriends him, he begins to feel comeradery for his team and many of the other Espada and certainly for Sigeric.
Sigeric becomes the most important thing to him, and this is the first real for of friendship he has with anyone, even though he is still very emotionally distant Sigeric understands him and treats him exactly like everyone else and this brings joy to him, even if he can't show it.
His life continues from that moment onwards...

During his normal state, he has the ability to control shadows already on the ground. No physical harm is formed from this ability, neither to the opponent nor Kouzan. However he can make them stand vertical momentarily. This can surprise and distract opponents allowing him to strike first.
Role-Play Example:
Kouzan walked along the embankments where both Las Noches and the desert like sea of Hueco Mundo collide, Kouzan strolled casualy, consumed by thought and sorrow.
He pondered the thought of what his future with holds for him.
For 2 miles he travelled along the vast walls. Eventually reaching an old oak door, riddled by notches and cuts. Dressed in bolts, hinges and a distorted handle.
Grasping the handle and twisted it in a clockwise direction, the door made an unpleasant screech whilst it opened, and then closed.
The door led straight into a long narrow corridor, lit only by a series of torches along both sides of the wall, spanning 2 metres apart from each other.
After awhile just shorter than 30 minutes he reached another door, it lead into circular room, 9 ½ metres in diameter and a height of at least 20 metres, with which concealed 12 doors.
Kouzan reached the centre of the room, and a sound of an opening came from behind him. With his ability he had already seen who came through.
Gin Ichimaru entered the room, paused and began to walk towards Kouzan
“Why aren’t you moving, are you scared to be in my presence.” Gin asked in a mocking tone.
“ No sir, Ichimaru-sama.”
Gin walked round to see the face of this strange figure, and what he saw surprised him but his face did not compromise.
“Ahh I see, very interesting. What is your name?” Gin’s tone changes to a more serious and inquisitive tone.
“Kouzan Heiwa.” His voice remained at a constant tone. However he was incredibly intrigued as to why Gin was carrying a conversation with him rather than just walking on.
Gin stood still for a few seconds and then spoke.
“We have a common trait.” Gin begins to walk away.
Before Kouzan has a chance to reply Gin used his flash step and disappeared from the room, Kouzan again began to walk on continuing on the thoughts that consumed him.
