Name: Isshin Kurosaki
Nicknames / Alias: Isshin
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown appears to be in early to late thirties
Race: Shinigami
Birth date: December 10
Birthplace: Soul Society
Alignment: Good
Occupation: Doctor
Appearance: Isshin is a rather tall man with broad shoulders. His decent size gives him a certain aura of solidity which is usually undermined by some strange action that he's performing when in the presence of one of his three children. He always has quite a bit of stubble but keeps it from growing much larger than that. His height is just over six feet tall and he weighs just under one hundred and eighty pounds. He has spiky black hair and brown eyes. He is decently muscled, although he doesn't look like he kind of man that performs extensive physical activity. More often than not he has some kind of bang or bruise that was inflicted by either Karin or Ichigo. He has a very outgoing personality that usually leads to him having some kind of pose or another.
Attire: When in his gigai, he tends to have on a white lab coat over randomly chosen clothing. If he doesn't have to work on that day, he will usually just wear some kind of shirt and pants, usually bright and colorful, sometimes even flamboyant. When out of his gigai, he wears a standard shinigami Shihakushō except for the white cloth tied around his waist and his left shoulder. He also wears a pauldron upon his left shoulder, although it doesn't appear to serve much of a purpose.
Weaknesses: His Children- He would do anything and everything for his children. This includes acting silly to try to cheer them up, giving advice, asking the poster of his wife for advice, and surprise attacking them to keep them from going soft.
Foolishness- He acts very foolishly when around his children, since he was much more often to his wife being around when his children were younger to take more of the serious situations.
Aversion to performing Shinigami activities- Isshin hasn't used his abilities since he met Masaki. That means for twenty years he has gone without the powers of a Shinigami and he doesn't plan on changing that unless there is a dire need for it. This includes revenge, Hollows without a Shinigami around, or other things that he feels would put his children in danger.
Lack of motivation- Other than his children, there isn't really anything that interests him in doing things. Since he runs a clinic it is very simple for him to live off of the money that he makes there and thats what he does, although most of it goes towards his children.
Rusty- He hasn't performed any Shinigami activities for twenty years. He's rather rusty in his capacity to do them. Regardless of such things, he's still quite handy in hand-to-hand combat, since he regularly engages in it with his son.

Equipment / Inventory: Zanpakuto- This katana's hilt is wrapped in red cloth, with square pattern going down both sides. The hand guard is hexagonal. There are blue tassels on the hilt as well.
Gigai- Isshin has been using this gigai almost constantly for the past twenty years. It's very rare to see the man anything outside of it to be honest.
Abilities:Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: As shown from his repeated attacks on his son, Isshin is a very skilled fighter even when barehanded.
Enhanced Durability: Even without his Shinigami powers, Isshin can take severe physical punishment (e.g. fighting with Ichigo and being kicked by Karin).
Immense Spiritual Energy: Isshin possesses a considerable amount of spiritual energy. Ichigo and Shinji are able to sense its strong presence from miles away. Kon is also stunned by the level of Isshin's power, as he watched Isshin kill Grand Fisher with one swing of his sealed Zanpakutō.
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Despite being rusty, Isshin's skill in swordsmanship is still powerful, allowing him to effortlessly slice through Grand Fisher's body and his Zanpakutō with a single swing of his sealed sword. While fighting against Aizen, Isshin's preferred fighting style is kendo, which he performs rather proficiently, capable of breaking concrete into pieces with a single strike.
Immense Strength: Isshin is capable of incredible feats of strength. He has been shown sending Aizen through two buildings with a simple flick of his finger upon his own arm to push him back.
Kidō Master: Isshin is capable of creating charmed objects to act as a defense against hostile forces, such as the Arrancar Grand Fisher. He is also able to erect powerful barriers capable of erasing traces of Reiatsu altogether.
Flash Steps Expert: Isshin possesses skill in the use of Shunpo. He can also keep highly fast opponents on their toes from his repeated assaults.
Bio: Isshin is a man shrouded in mystery to most men, only known to a few select individuals. One such individual is Ryuken Ishida while a few active Shinigami know who he is as well. For the past twenty years he has kept himself isolated from anyone that he had previously known, meaning that since he fell in love with Masaki, no one from Soul Society has seen or heard from him. He did at one point get medical training, which allowed him to properly run a medical clinic, rather than having to cheat and use Shinigami-like skills, which he has also avoided for as long as he can. Isshin courted Masaki for quite a while, marrying her before Ichigo was even conceived. This means that he spent two years of marriage to her before they ever had a child.
Once Ichigo was born Isshin had to become more serious than before. He had to start supporting his wife and child somehow. He started a small business, using his abilities to heal patients in a small enough manner that it wouldn't seem very strange. During this time he also learned conventional methods of healing others, which also led to an actual degree for medicinal purposes. He spent large amounts of time with Ichigo, usually leading to the small child somehow inflicting pain upon the older man. The young Ichigo grew until he eventually started to go places with his mother. Despite Isshin's constant attention, Ichigo's mother was the apple of the young boy's eye.
Two more young 'uns were born about the time that Ichigo started going to a dojo to learn ways to defend others. Karin and Yuzu were from hard to balance out with Ichigo and it ended up with Karin being rather annoyed by, what she perceived as, her father's favoritism while they were young. Now she is rather bitter and tends to get rather annoyed at his silly antics. Yuzu is rather happy with her father usually, although she does seem to follow Karin's lead at time. They seem to share a strong bond that usually manifests in their time watching Don Kanonji's show. This meant that he had less time for Ichigo, so when he stopped giving so much attention to the young boy, the boy became determined to be able to gain the previous amount of attention.
Masaki died when Ichigo was nine, both of the girls only being four. Isshin still attempted to be the funny father but it was less effective when the other parent wasn't there to deal with the serious problems. Ichigo was quite a bit more distant after that, although it brought the family together in a time of tragedy. Isshin was crushed by the loss of his wife, which completely killed most of the motivation that he had before except for the things his wife wanted and his children. He kept it from his kids but nothing meant much to him any more, although his silly antics did continue in front of his kids. The family eventually, kinda, recovered from the loss of one of the five.
Isshin decided to actually start a clinic a few years later, wanting to support his kids in a way that he couldn't do with what he currently had. He had learned how to do everything but major surgeries and it was easy for him to get clients and funds with Ryuken, one of the few people in the Soul Society or Karakura Town that knew him. Life was then quite uneventful until Ichigo turned fifteen. About that time everything started to go downhill. Shinigami and Hollows came back and started harassing his family and Ichigo in particular. He saw Ichigo progress as a Soul Reaper and hoped that he wouldn't have to reveal himself. He has been discreetly keeping an eye upon the young boy ever since then.
Isshin doesn't want to have to reveal himself but the more danger that Ichigo gets in, the more likely that it seems he'll have to. Whenever any of his children get into too much danger, he will appear to save them. He plans on staying close to them and listening to their problems, even if his communication style is rather... childish at times.
RP Sample: Isshin crept rather stealthily towards his son's room. It was still early in the morning and the sun had barely started to show over the horizon. He moved slowly to the door, sliding it open with barely a whisper. Ichigo didn't know that while he had been at school his father had greased the hinges so it would be much easier to sneak into his room without his son hearing it. He peaked into the room, his gaze locking on to his son that was sleeping rather soundly upon his bed. That was a mistake, letting his guard down for something as foolish as "sleep." Isshin laughed on the inside at the thought. He crept quietly through the room, looking at the young man that reminded him of his late wife. That wouldn't stop him from completing his mission though.
Isshin crept right up to Ichigo's bedside. He tensed for a moment before he jumped into the air, his feet planting solidly upon his son's face. "GOOOOOOOOD MORNING ICHIGO!" It probably wasn't the best thing to shout at a recently woken up teenager that was quite proficient in combat. Ichigo flipped him off easily, the man landing on his face on the ground next to the bed. He waited there for a moment, twitching in a strange manner before he moved away from his son. He twisted his face in a strange manner, obviously meant to be angry-ish.
Ichigo, of course, began ranting about how that was no way to wake up your son but Isshin ignored that and instead played the sounds of a child's laughter in his head. This made it much easier to act silly while his son was complaining. As soon as his son's mouth stopped moving he began to speak, "YOU LET YOUR GUARD DOWN ICHIGO!" He shouted, pointing his finger and striking a pose that clearly showed that he was triumphant. Ichigo couldn't have that though so he came at Isshin, throwing a flurry of blows at him that he responded in kind to.
Eventually he let Ichigo gain the upper hand, who then knocked him away and until a wall. Isshin glared up at him from a kneeling position before the two heard the shouts of Karin announcing that breakfast was ready. Isshin had a momentary staring contest with his son, "I'LL BEAT YOU DOWN STAIRS!" He shouted, dashing down the stairs, only to have Ichigo chase him down and send him flying across the room before the two were scolded by Karin for their behavior.
Other: His abilities obviously won't apply until such time as he is powerful enough to have them.
