Basic Character Info
Name: Ichimaru Gin
Age: 152
Visual Age: 22
Gender: Male
Division: 3
Appearance:
Personality:Gin is one of the most mysterious Shinigami in the series since his permanent smile and slitted eyes, combined with his heavy use of sarcasm and mocking politeness, make it very difficult to discern his thoughts. Many find his demeanor and appearance rather unsettling and there are very few who were willing to trust him even before he was revealed as a traitor. Gin seems to be fully aware of the effect he has on others and more than once has been seen toying with peoples' emotional states for his own amusement. Both Rukia Kuchiki and Wonderweiss Margera have shown to be rather frightened of him, Rukia noting to herself that she felt like she was being strangled by snakes whenever he spoke, even if he was not speaking to her directly. In the anime, Gin speaks with a distinct Kyoto dialect, which is polite but indirect. His English dubbed voice is also formal and polite, but with a rather mocking and facetious undertone.
Ever since he was a child, dried persimmons have been his absolute favorite food. Gin planted and raised many persimmon trees around the 3rd division offices, and makes the dried persimmons himself, then distributes them to other divisions. Once he wound up eating a dried sweet potato, thinking, "Oh, it's a dried persimmon!" and he hated it. When he has free time, Captain Ichimaru goes on walks around Seireitei. Although his hobby is people-watching, it seems like he is possibly hunting around and searching for an opportunity to create mischief with some poor victim. The gentlemen of the 3rd Division are contrary, and they have the kind of attitude that enjoys that mean-spiritedness. He also has incredible skill at needle threading
Background/RP Sample
Background: Not much is known about Gin's prior history, except that he once saved 10th Division Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto's life when they were younger, as she almost died from starvation. He tells her if she has collapsed due to hunger she must have spiritual power. She recognizes that he must have spiritual power too and he introduces himself.
Shortly while eating Gin asks Rangiku when is her birthday, to which she says she doesn't know as she never really counted days until she met him. Gin then tells her that from then on, the day that she met him will be her birthday.They have been friends since then. Hence, Matsumoto is one of the few people Gin seems to truly care about
Approximately 110 years ago Gin graduated from the Shinigami Academy after just one year, and was given a seated position in the 5th Division. When he met Aizen for the first time he already killed the 3rd seat of the 5th Division, calling him worthless, showing that even as a child Gin's powers approached Lieutenant level, and also that he could kill anyone in cold blood, if it served his interests. Aizen immediately gave him the 3rd seat of the Division after the incident, which they both kept secret.
Sometime later Gin served as the lieutenant of the 5th Division under Captain Sōsuke Aizen. He and Gin save the surviving young recruits of Shinigami Academy who were out on a field exercise from a group of hollows. From that time he seems to have seen potential in those recruits, Momo Hinamori, Izuru Kira, and Renji Abarai, and took them all into his division. While Kira and Hinamori were obedient and loyal, becoming the Lieutenants of the 3rd and 5th Divisions under Gin and Aizen, respectively, Renji proved to be too rebellious and was transferred to the 11th Division (and later to the 6th, where he too became a Lieutenant).
Gin eventually becomes the captain of the 3rd Division around the same time that Byakuya Kuchiki became captain of the 6th Division (less then 49 years ago). Gin however, even as a captain of his own division, was still a loyal subordinate to Aizen.
RP Sample: The time was currently 3:21 in the afternoon and it was fairly cloudy out with some good rays of sun breaking through, making the park look even more great then it already had, genin hired to do lawn work were picking weeds and cutting the grass, making everything look nice. Today, Sorrow had a break as he wasn't assigned any missions. He sat on a bench near the pathway to the entrance of the park and just relaxed himself, watching birds fly over head, today was a peaceful one. Some younger children ran by, playing a game of tag from the looks of it. Sorrow thought back to his days as a child, he didn't have much time to play games while training and everything.
He had a small brown bag that held his lunch that he packed for his day in case he got hungry while walking around. Feeling his stomach growl quite loudly, making an embarrassing noise, some would find.He put his hands over his stomach and moved to the bag to open it up and pull out a sandwich he had made at his house.Sorrow felt around the bag trying to find it, instead found an apple and shrugged, wiping it clean and took a big healthy bite of it, chewing it and swallowed.
