Appearance:
Hiyowai is a fragile being, and so his appearance reflects this. His skin is very pale, from having to stay indoors so very often, and from being sick most of his life. If you were to flip his arm over so that the bottom was facing up, one could easily see the purple veins in his arm, unless you pressed down too hard on his arm. Then all you would see is bruises from where your hand was. His eyes have dark circles all the time and they suit the weary expression his face often carries. His hands are long fingered and have delicate nails that are filed down to make the white become perfect half-moons. His body is all similar to his hands, lean bony and pale as a ghost.
His attire is has the same features as most shinigami, black over white, but he does add his own touch to the mix. He wears a dark grey kimono over the top of his traditional shinigami outfit, the kimono open and loose on his figure, the inside of it being a light purple like his hair. The kimono has gentle designs of lavender flowers around the bottom and bright green birds and silver clouds around the sleeves, giving it the earth and sky look. Underneath his kimono, he keeps his zanpakuto tied to his waist with a single very thick thread made of silver. He always wears white gloves on his hands, never taking them off for anything. They all have a dark green leaf stitched into the left index finger.
His hair is always neat and tidy, and kept either straight and flowing or in a long braid over the back of his neck. Either way, he makes sure to cover the back of his neck from everyone, even going so far as to bandage his neck up. All across his neck are scars from past surgeries where doctors have tried to 'fix' one of his afflictions. He was open to their tries a long time go, but now he has just settled on living with his disabilities. He nowadays simply goes about with a health mask on his face, keeping the germs out of his airways and avoiding stress and all who even seem sick.
He wears a small bit of makeup, mostly under his eyes to lighten the dark circles under his eyes. He also wears a little blush, to add color, and a very light pink lip-stain to make his thin lips seem normal. He wears the make-up everyday, and if one did not know him personally, one might say he was simply overworked. In reality, he is fighting a battle with no wins on either side.
His afflictions:
Hemophilia A- He inherited this disease from his mother. Having hemophilia A keeps his blood from clotting like a normal persons would. If you were to get a a very light scratch, you would probably not bleed. However, he would bleed as if you had stabbed him where the scratch was. He has a very hard time dealing with this, and therefore he does not tend to start fights or use any sharp objects. The risk of bleeding to death from a small wound is too great.
Immunodeficiency- He was born with this disease, and inherited it from no-one. He was unable to grow like normal children because of this disease. He had to stay inside and away from any sources of sickness. When he did go out, he went with a mask. This disorder is called immunodeficiency because that is exactly what it is, a huge lack of an immune system. He cannot fight off disease as others could and could be hospitalized because of a common cold. This is the reason why he wears a health mask all the time.
Personality:
Ever since he was born, he has physically either been completely helpless, sick, or dying. His body does not have the strength or the will to stay alive, this is where his soul comes in. Even through all the ups and downs he has had a positive outlook, which makes up most of his personality.
He has the will to stay alive, which is important in his situation, and he expresses this to any he helps, encouraging them to push on, especially when they think they can't. Even though his own problems are normally much more prominent than others, he always tries to put others first. His is kind and considerate, always listening first then asking questions. His patience is almost unmatched, and thus can annoy those who get a rise out of arguments.
However, there is a point where Hiyowai breaks, and one will know it by his sharp tongue and burning gaze. If angered or extremely frustrated, he will release sharp comments, but he will never use offensive words. His frame will go rigid and he will tend to make his movements more exaggerated.
Strengths: Physically, he is fast and accurate with his sword, and also without it he is still able to dodge most of his enemies attacks. His strongest area is defense with his zanpakuto, able to block many attacks at once with swift parries that set his enemy off balance. He need not use alot of strength to accomplish this, only speed and the right angle.
Mentally, his strengths are in being able to keep a pleasant mood even around the most annoying people, and helping to influence others to follow suit. He has a lot of patience with other people and is one of the easier scientists to get along with. He also is extremely smart and a very quick thinker, as if his brain is always on 'turbo.' He is able to explain things in a way that is easily understood for all people, to the relief of many of the more brutish shinigami.
Weaknesses: Mentally, his number one weakness is that his trust is easily abused, and he is often too quick to forgive. For this reason, he is often easily manipulated into doing things for others. He worries constantly about his health and tries to avoid sexual relationships for the risk of easily becoming sick. He also has an EXTREME phobia of germs which is caused by his worry over his health, so if you go into his house, prepare to be de-contaminated with every antibacterial substance known to man and.
Physically, he has many weaknesses. He is not very strong and does not have an endurance we can speak of. He is easily worn out, and that leaves him open for many attacks. This is probably because of his indoors lifestyle and his afflictions. He has hemophilia and immunodeficiency, both with cause him to be very vulnerable to attacks and disease. Just know that if he is seen on the battlefield, the world is probably going to hell and the last resorts are being sent in.
Sealed Zanpakutō: Hiyowai's zanpakuto in its sealed form looks like a very basic katana. It is four shaku long and its scabbard is a made of a light grey metal. The scabbard is engraved with a qilin on each side, both painted over with a white paint. The blade has a light green tint to the metal that can only be seen under specific light, moonlight to be exact. The handle is made of white pine wrapped with light blue threads. From the end of the handle a thin blue thread hangs with a small silver cast flower on its end.
Zanpakutō Spirit: The spirit of Hiyowai's zanpakuto is a qilin, the chinese version of a unicorn. The creature is pale in appearance and has a thick coat of fur that sprouts from in between and covers his silver scales. The only ones you can clearly see, are on his face, stomach, and front legs. The qilin's face is very open, bright green eyes wide and constantly watching whilst its fanged mouth seems to be always smiling. The horn on the creature's head seems like a branch glued onto its skull, (which Hiyowai had tried to pull off when he first met the beast) it spreads out and either blooms or produces leaves according to the seasons like a normal tree branch would. The fur of the qilin grows long and thick around its legs, giving it the look of as if it was part Friesian. The fur on its shoulders are more fluffy instead of flowing, giving it a regal mane over its shoulders. From head to hoof it is seven feet tall, towering over most people. It is unknown if the qilin is male or female, there is too much hair for Hiyowai to plainly see this and he highly doubts the creature would like him messing around between its legs.
The qilin is a mysterious spirit that never wishes to be found, instead it wishes to find you. When he first came in contact with his spirit, he was frightened by its straightforward and open attitude, which was in high contrast with its grave 'voice.' It doesn't speak, but simply projects its thoughts and feelings into Hiyowai, giving him a rough and blunt explanation. It helps guide Hiyowai through his many trials, simply shoving him along the path he should go instead of nudging him and hoping that he will make it. It understands Hiyowai in a way he cannot understand and a way he cannot get the creature to allow him to understand. The creature follows Hiyowai around in its world, conversing easily with the small fragile man and offering him a small sliver of hope when times are tough.
The qilin's home is a place of pure ice and clouds with no end and no beginning. There are trees that constantly bloom despite the cold and grass grows in perfectly circular patches. The wind here is very powerful and wily, never giving the man any warning before often knocking Hiyowai off his feet and causing him to tumble a couple of feet. The qilin constantly watches this while they converse, finding this to be very funny for it is unaffected by the harsh winds. The qilin often tends to its grass and trees during their conversations, cutting off imperfect limbs with its sharp teeth and destroying grasses that try to grow outside of their predetermined circle. This is why this world looks like a place of icy cold perfection.
Shikai Incantation: Gaijuunaigou (Gentle but firm)
Shikai Category: Combat/Re-sealed Release
Shikai Range: Mid Range
Shikai Description: When Hiyowai utters his incantation the first time, the blade changes shape. It becomes a very thin, long blade. The blade simply looks to being nothing but a long, sharp rectangle that is open in the center. It is believed that it is very fragile on its own, but does not bend when swung through the air. It reminds Hiyowai of a butter knife, but only it is missing the center of the blade.
Technique Name: Kago (Divine Protection)
(How abilities work!)
Technique Range: Mid Range (How abilities work!)
Technique Description: The first and most used ability of the blade is that it can create a large shield. As Hiyowai sweeps it horizontally in front of himself, the open center of the blade fills with a white light, and the light spreads from the center, like a large curtain. It can block most attacks, but as Hiyowai weakens, the curtain will develop 'cracks' and will eventually break.
The second and rarely used ability of the blade, is offense, the one thing Hiyowai is horrible. As Hiyowai slashes at an enemy, his blade fills up with a bright green light in the open center of the blade. As he strikes, the green light becomes like a sash, cutting through whatever is before it like a knife passing through butter. When the blade passes through the opponent, it leaves behind a green residue on the cut, and once the actual blade is through the opponent the green light completely disappears. The blade then becomes breakable again. This attack technique is a last resort move.

History: Hiyowai was born to very poor parents and with his birth came his two afflictions. In the era in which he was born, not very much was known about his ailments, so he was reduced to living indoors, alone without the company of anyone. His parents talked to him through the door of their small home, and would quickly slip food into the room. They refused to allow anyone to see Hiyowai, mostly because they were afraid for his health, and soon he became very lonely in his room.
One night, he overheard his very upset mother crying about how her only son was such a burden to their family. They must have thought he had been asleep at the time, but he was not. He listened to their every word carefully, his already broken heart being shredded to pieces in his hands. When he finally spoke up, it frightened them greatly and caused the family even more sorrow.
Night came early for him the day that he died. He was growing very sick because of his sorrow at being such a burden to everyone, he also because he had refused to eat for days on end. Soon, he realized that not only had he not being eating his food, but that the very sound of other people had disappeared. He no longer felt the warmth of the house's center fire, and he could see his very breath. What was wrong?
As he walked calmly over to the door, he slipped on his most comfortable robe, his favorite shoes, and mentally prepared himself for the world he had never really seen. Finally, he slipped his hand through the crack and pulled the sliding paper door open. What lay before him, stunned him. There was no-one there.
There were no belongings other than his own in the house, and he finally concluded that his parents had left him to freeze to death in the old house. He stepped outside, and was taken aback by the beauty around him. The deep snow entranced him, and eventually, its cold embrace took him away from this life.
--The Other Side--
When he finally woke up, he was on the other side, still afflicted with the same problems and he almost gave up on everything. On this side, he wore a sash around his lower face to try and protect himself from germs, and it worked quite effectively. He eventually made himself a home on this side, growing himself a small garden full of mixed plants, many being healing related.
Soon, many other people joined him in growing their own crops, and soon he began to simply focus on creating medicine from the plants in the garden. The many other souls would bring him gifts of rare plants and books the found or stole on them, expanding his knowledge even further. He hated the fact that they would steal for him, but nonetheless, accepted their well-intentioned gifts and did all he could to help those who were kind to him. He would often sell his potions and salves for a decent price and eventually created a source of income for himself. The people followed suit and eventually, stealing was no longer an option.
Then the people began to mention shinigami, and he became interested, asking more and more of them. They told him all they could, but said it would be best if he went and spoke to one of them himself. So, one morning, he loaded up all his most precious things, including his best salves, potions, and cross-bred plants, and set off to see these shinigami in person.
As he passed through the old slums he had lived in for so long, he was astonished as buildings became more advanced. His dark eyes widened as he traveled, doing their best to take in the strange new things he saw, and his brain doing its best to comprehend the messages the eyes sent. As he traveled, he became less and less socialable, mostly because the people around him grew more well-dressed and well-kept than he himself in his simple brown half kimono and grey pants.
He knew he was an oddity in this area, and he shyly did his best to keep to himself. Well, at least until he was approached by one of these more well-kept creatures. As soon as he gave the man a good-looking over, he knew this had to be one of the shinigami his people had spoke about. The man was dressed in black and white, a sword was strapped to his back, and like some of the people mentioned, a full-of-himself smirk on his face. The shinigami and Hiyowai immediately went at it, Hiyowai stabbing the man with sharp remarks and the man throwing them right back.
Eventually, things toned down between them as they found common ground, which was the plants that they both worked with. Hiyowai began to show off his cross-bred plants and explain their attributes to the shinigami, the shinigami asking in return if he had made any potions or salves from them. Then, they were moving to another place, where potions and salves were shown off and experimented with.
