Physical Description| Atsuo is but a child in the Gotei Fourteen, and as such is both short and light. He has a muscular frame for a child, though not overtly so as to look out of place, but enough to show that he's physically fit. He has a moderate tan to his skin, having a warm undertone to his naturally tanned complexion. His hair, which falls to his chin, is a rich medium brown, having naturally subtle highlights and lowlights in order to make his hair look extremely complex and layered. Orbs of honey brown encompass his pupils, being bordered with a defining line of black, though the rest of his iris' have a natural shine to them, making him always look interested. And though his eyes have their own natural sign, he always appears as though he hasn't slept in days, usually looking extremely tired. The most distinctive feature on his body however, is a large tree tattooed on his back, who's roots extend down to his knees and cover most of his thighs and posterior. While usually white-and-black toned, when he's feeling particularly emotional in any way the black morphs to deep browns while the white begins to become a light sage green. He is rarely seen without a shirt due to this reason exactly, and his canvas cloak functions to block the slight glow produced from his tattoo when he gets too emotional.
Wardrobe | Atsuo is often times seen wearing the standard uniform, with only minor modifications. His under-layer of clothing, instead of a traditional white, is a sage green, the black of his uniform also having more of a brown tint than a pure black color. His feet are also covered by brown boots, which are waterproof (like in his picture). He usually also wears a muddy-brown canvas cloak over his shoulders, wearing the hood only when he is weary of his surroundings or the people in his vicinity.

Personal Attributes
Quirks
XxXxXAtsuo, being incapable of speech, has learned to keep his emotions subdued and off of his face, though he can commonly be heard sighing in a multitude of situations, as well as growling and the occasional bark when people get out of line. He has a very well ingrained sense of loyalty and purpose, as well as being far smarter than anyone his age should ever be cursed with. Being hand-picked by Lorde due to his aptitude to memorize everything that he's ever seen with extreme detail, she has him around just in case her files get erased so he can replicate them for her. Otherwise, he's very even keeled and compassionate, his wordless smiles often having more profound of an impact than words with most people. Instead of feeling rage, he is easily scared, and will run away from anyone he gets a bad vibe from. Seeing as he is incapable of speech and can't express his feelings, he goes with his instinct in all situations to prolong his longevity.

xxA SEED YET TO GROW TO FRUITION
____________________________________________________________ ..
"Regardless of where I am, knowledge is the water from which I'll grow." Chapter One | The Beginning
Time Frame? | 77 years ago
W-what is this place?!
Gasping for air with labored and ragged breath, a boy sat up from the floor of a forest, looking around frantically. His dirt-matted brown hair was plastered to his face, though the falling rain was quickly cleaning it for him. The only eye visible form under the dirt-helmet looked around in a panic before he tried calling out for help. After minutes passed and not even a peep passed his lips, he looked down into a puddle in horror, realizing that he wasn't able to speak at all. Slamming his fists down in a fit of rage, he growled heavily, now very confused as to how he could growl and yell, but not form words; his shoulder began to waver as the sobbing sat in, the amount of confusion he was in was almost physically painful to him. Knowing not who he was, and more importantly why he couldn't speak, he laid there for quite some time wondering if he was going to die in the forest, lying in the mud and crying like a babe.
Then, it hit him like a ton of bricks, and he was suddenly calm: he had the profound urge to get up and live. Somehow, in someway, he would survive in this place. But first of all he had to find out what place he was to try and survive in. Exploring the forest for countless days, sleeping in the safety of the trees and finding food to eat when he could in the woods. He became quite nimble and strong this way, learning that he would need to be faster and stronger in order to trick the bandits and thieves that wandered throughout the forrest during the night, while he was safely nestled into the branches, hiding out in natural silence in order to preserve what little he knew he had. But they had to be coming from somewhere, because they would take what they could find or what they could kill back with them, and one day he decided to follow them. Staying safe in the edge of the forest, he waited until nightfall to approach the slums that he found, stealing some less worn clothes and a little bit of food before he hid out back in the forest in the branches, staying near the edge but higher up than he usually climbed to avoid being detected. The next day, he resolved, he would try and assimilate with this place and move on from there. After all, more people meant more variations in its possibilities, yet he understood that his chances of survival would be much higher here.
Chapter Two | Always Learning
Time Frame? | 65 years ago
If knowledge is my power, than it shall be the sword I wield.
While living in Rukongai, he was frequently asked what his name was; regardless of whether or he could answer, he decided that it was always good to have a name, to help one remember who they are. He decided on "Atsuo" for his first name, meaning "friendly man", something that he aspired to be. His surname was more difficult to pick, and it took him at least two years living in the slum before he knew what he wanted it to be. Choosing "Kurosawa", meaning "Black Swamp", in honor to his ability to trick those who had lived in Rukongai for ages, despite only being in this world for but a few years. Also, because in the black of the night his movements mirrored the stillness of the water in a swamp, never lapping a shore or breaking in the surf. He had developed his leg strength even more since his time in the forest, easily being able to outrun and outsmart any merchant, thief, or ruffian that tried to "get 'im" for stealing food from them to hand out to the other children in the area who were hungry. That was when the local smith saw what he was doing and dragged him back to his shop, shouting the whole way how he was going to report him to the authorities. Upon arriving back there, the man sat him down at a table with food on the table and told him to eat, explaining himself in full detail about why he was abducted.
The man was in need of help around the forge, keeping track of all sales, schematics, and other like documents. When asked if he knew how to read, he shook his head no, but when confronted with pages he somehow knew the words and what they meant. His smile was enough for the man to understand, receiving a pat on the back before the man returned to work. While the other pounded hot metal into weaponry and other things, Atsuo spent most of his time reading and memorizing all of the things that the man had that he could read, including things he was told were off limits at night. Otherwise he was taking notes of all transactions that the man made, whether he was buying materials or selling goods, keeping a thorough and complete record of everything that happened. He even offered up some of his own designs for things, some of which the man liked and created, others were tossed into the fire to fuel the flames. Regardless, this was his life, and it was better than on the streets.
Chapter Three | A Goddess Appears?
Time Frame? | 25 years ago
Nifty
It had been many, many years that he was the bookkeeper and record keeper for the man, even earning him his own knife which he kept with him at all times. The first one he was forged shattered in his hands, and the man taught him how to forge, letting him pick out the materials and the design for his blade, trying to mold the child into something that could maybe take over his work sometime in the far future. The resulting blade literally vibrated lightly in his hands after it was done cooling and such, the result being a small and odd looking black dagger. Keeping it on the small of his back, even though he rarely left the building, he began to hear whispers in his sleep from the blade, and he also began feeling weird sensations. He also noted that when he got upset, his back illuminated slightly and people around him seemed to notice somehow, despite his lack of verbal statement. It was odd, so he eventually resolved to stay inside, reading the last stack of books he had yet to read.
Some time after he had read everything in the workshop, a beautiful lady walked into the shop, talking to the old man at length about his work, having casual conversation at the table over drinks about something they both seemed knowledgable and passionate about. The man snapped at him, calling out a specific design, and without second thought Atsuo turned around, and grabbed the specific book which contained what he was looking for. Flipping through it without looking as he walked toward the table, he stopped on the appropriate page and placed it on the table, smiling at the two before turning around and returning to his small room, taking his knife from under his pillow and twirling it in his hand errantly. They talked for a few more minutes before he heard mention of him, silently getting up and moving over to the door. It was explained that he was mute, though apt in certain fields, but often off in his own world. The woman asked to speak to him, which was when he swiveled silently to sit back down onto his bed right before she rounded the corner, coming in to talk to him. Even though he couldn't respond, he showed her some of his designs, and upon her asking him to recreate some from the books that the man had he did in but a few minutes with exact detail, with a burnt stick at that. Smiling, the woman leaned forward and touched his hand, offering him a new life. Smiling in return, she heard a voice in her head: When do I start?
Chapter Four | Gotei and The Death Gods
Time Frame? | 1 year ago
Soooooo many books, I just don't even know.
It wasn't long before she sent for him again, this time returning to the old man with men at her side, taking Atsuo with her by force. It wasn't he who resisted, but the old man unwilling to loose the sharpest mind anywhere near that area of Rukongai. Holding his hand the entire way back to Seireitei, she was often bombarded with exclamations of the beauty of the inner districts, places he had never been before, and especially toward the pretty flowers that they had there. She even bought a pretty pink and purple one for him when he stopped and gawked at it, obviously in a hurry to tote him back to Seireitei. They approached a spectacular gate, his jaw plastered to the floor as the massive doors opened, almost yelling when a giant woman walked out, greeting Lorde with a warm smile and a nod. He peeked out from around the woman at the other, who offered him a warm smile, which he returned warmly; though the place gave him an eerie feeling, there appeared to be some people here he could trust. He followed Lorde on his own through the city now, following her to her workshops. She showed him her book keeping room, and he nearly passed out from not only the clutter, but the vast amount of knowledge stored in just that room. He immediately got started, crawling over books and mountains of trees at times in order to put things into sorted order. At first, he was enthralled, but after a week of continuous reading and the like he was exhausted, something he would never quite get over. After a year, bringing us to present time, everything was finally in order, and he had read everything there as well, his speed reading skills far beyond what he thought was possible just 12 months prior. He was the Sixth seat to the Thirteenth Division, and more importantly, when allowed, the shadow to the Goddess who granted him access to seemingly endless possibilities, and possibly endless stacks of books.

xxHOGO SETCHI
___________________________________________________________ ..
"Hide, young one. You have yet to bloom, so avoid being plucked."
Zanpakutō Name | 保護接地 (Hogo Setchi)
English Translation | Protective Earth
Zanpakutō Element | Earth/Water (Mud)
Zanpakutō Spirit | [x] Hogo Setchi is a very kind and gentle spirit, having a very protective nature over Atsuo. Other than to Atsuo, she's very reclusive and judgmental, Atsuo often times having to tell her to be nicer toward people she doesn't know very well. Being so over-protective of the young shinigami is understandable, and she often hints that the name given to him isn't her true name, because this version of herself is more useful to him as he is now. When the time comes, she promises, she will reveal her true name, but only after he learns to fight properly.
Zanpakutō Inner World | A dense, lush forest with whimsical flowers and animal life, looking like a forest dreamt up by a child. Seeing as this is a form of herself that is tailored for Atsuo specifically, she tries to accommodate to his wants and needs as much as possible. The area is only a mile wide, otherwise floating on a deep black pool of water, the sky stretching a clear blue for farther than the eye can see. While this is not her true inner world, the rest lying beneath the sea of black that is the result from him not knowing her true name, thus not having access to her true self.

Zanpakutō Activation Statement | "Blossom"
Zanpakutō Blade Changes | [x] When released, Atsuo stabs the blade into the ground, the dirt spiraling up around his hand before cracking away, revealing his new blade, which is only a few inches longer. Otherwise, the tattoo on his back glows constantly now, the roots seeming to move
Shikai Abilities
Ability One 泥囮 (Doro Otori)- Mud Decoy
Used in tangent with his other ability, there is no noticeable difference between himself and this decoy, and can move as long as Atsuo himself is immobile and within a 15ft. radius of this decoy. Once hit, by pretty much anything, the decoy will turn brown, like the Earth that it's sculpted from, and takes as much damage as is dealt to it. Only one decoy can be created at a time, and Atsuo looses the ability to control this decoy once it has received damage. Once activated, there's nothing that gives away that the decoy is not Atsuo himself, as long as the person he uses it on can't tell that he's controlling the decoy with the help of his second ability. This ability can only be used twice per release.
Ability Two 岩地下道 (Iwa Chikado)- Rocky Underpass
In tangent with his first ability, once Doro Otori is activated a seamless tunnel is opened up underground that Atsuo is swallowed into, forming a perfectly circular tunnel beneath the ground. At first it is but a column that places him about five feet beneath the surface, directly below his decoy. When he moves, however, the Earth silently conforms to a dimension that allows Atsuo to walk freely under the surface, for a maximum distance of up to 100ft. While under the surface, he has to know where he wants to go beforehand and head that way, because otherwise after the maximum distance is reached he just pops back up to the surface; which is always better when you pop up inside a nearby building or behind a wall, not right next to the person trying to kill you. This ability can only be used twice during his release.
Shikai Control Level | Adept
Shikai Duration | Two posts, with a three post cool-down period.

Shinigami Abilities
Zanjutsu | Though he only wields a knife, when the time comes for him to fight he knows how to wait and when to pounce. Otherwise, he is actually quite skilled with a knife, having practiced back in his days as an assistant in Rukongai when he wasn't keeping tabs on books and other records.
Hakuda | Poor, very, very poor. While he has great strength behind his legs and can put up a good fight with just kick, he's often too scared to confront anyone with his fists, and because of this his skills in hand-to-hand combat are awful at best.
Hohō | While he can use his this particular ability to air-walk while in his sealed state, he otherwise isn't skilled in it at all. Outside of the technique, however, he is quite speedy due to his small size and weight, along with his surprising musculature for his age. To him, it's a fair trade, though he often times gets jealous of watching the higher-ups flit about like faeries.
Durability | Seeing as he is a very low ranking officer, his durability is astoundingly low, which is why his zanpakuto tries to keep him out of the path of danger by tricking his enemy.
Reiryoku | While not as low as it could be for someone of his ranking by any stretch of the imagination, this might be the one area that he's actually above his ranking for, though he's never let his "true colors shine"; though if he did, he'd most likely be on par with a Fourth Seat, though not much more.
