Personality: Zassou isn't your average Shinigami. Some people belive him to have MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) but this is not the case. He has many many sides to the same personality. Not many people have ever seen his true personality, or even know what the real him is like. He hides his true feelings, even his true intentions behind many masks. Only one person knows the real him and that person his the Captain of Division Four, Faust.

The first mask Zassou ever put up was one of a careless soul. A person who didn't even care what was going on around him. This made everyone around him think that he was some simple asshole, lounging around and just being lazy. This was not the case. He truly did care but fearing attachment he put up that wall as if he didn't so that people would stay away from him. It made things much simpler.

The second mask Zassou put up was one of a sadistic bastard. Going from being careless to enjoying pain, enjoying people getting hurt and even causing pain to others just because he wanted to. People viewed him more as trash after this, trying to stay away from him so that they wouldn't come to any harm. This also kept him from becoming attached to someone, one of his worst fears.

The third and final mask that Zassou put up was one of playfulness and joy. While it acted like this people would actually come around him, although it took them awhile to regain their trust for him. This was a way for him to get people close to him, but not too close. They enjoyed his company but he could simply change the way he was acting and they would leave without a second thought. Everyone knew how Zassou acted.

In battle Zassou is like a stone, never showing any sign of what he's thinking. This throws some opponents off. They expect him to be overly excited or scared but all they find is a steel wall before them, giving away no secrets. He enjoys fighting, saying it gives him a rush. For an odd reason he loves when his Zanpaktou cuts into flesh. He figures it's from the sadistic mask he put up, becoming a part of him in some ways.

Zassou's true personality is one of a ladies man and something of a gambler. He enjoys the game of dice and will go for high stakes. His luck never seems to run out and he wins most games he plays. He also has a way with women, no matter what he's acting like. They seem to come to him in hoardes and he can't stop the small grin from spreading across his face every time a woman comes around. Zassou just enjoys the simple things in life.

Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Kuromassu

Zanpakuto Looks:

Spoiler:

Zanpakuto Description: Even in its fully sealed state, Faust's zanpakuto is not a conforming piece of art in any way. Even its looks alones set it apart. It retains the look of the sword he carried with him back when he was alive. It has a very elogant hilt made of pure silver, showing off his wealth to enemies and comrades alike. The blade itself is a pure black which resmbles the darkest shadow, hinting to the arcane powers that lay cemented into the blade. The hilt is actually hollow. The bottom notch slides open on a spring loaded set up which can be moved with a single thumb. Then this is done, it is revealed that inside the hilt are five different wires which are extremely thin and difficult to see, but are as strong as the zanpakuto itself. It is also razor sharp and capable of slicing through human flesh. At the end of each wire is two senbon needles which are melded together in the middle section making it almost look like two fangs. In its sealed state, that is about the extent of its ability. However, it is capable of housing the hearts of fallen foes or comrades with in the blade itself. In its unreleased state these serve no purpose and will be further described in the released zanpakuto description and Bankai. The limit to the number of these hearts is three.

Released Zanpakuto Description: The power of Kuromassu is one of the most grotesque in the entire soul society. Unlike other kido based zanpakuto which create unique and mysterious attacks in an outward and blatantly offensive way, Kuromassu instead imbibes the user with a new power and ability which enhances the user greatly. When the phrase is recited, the blade will begin to write and wriggle in a very disgusting way making odd squishing noises. It will then grow slightly into a more solid like gooey nature, minus the stickiness, almost like putty. It will then break apart into several thin strands of black, each pointed on the end. The sword will wrench from the users grasp and point back towards the user, finalizing the release by impaling the user with the strands, and multiplying them rapidly, filling his or her body. The strands will create a layer between he muscles and the skin of the shinigami, causing their shape to slightly bulge. This will cause the user to lose 4 stat points in speed. Once fully released, they will lose an additional 5 stat points in stamina. It will also create a layer of these strands between every joint in the human body.

These strands are quite unique and ultimately very dangerous for an opponent. They at first are spongy and stringy, very flexible and durable. They are also pointed at the ends. With spiritual energy added though, they can go form very soft to very hard and nearly metallic like, having the same density as a zanpakuto. This can allow for several things. One they can be used to detach limbs partially and extending them much further past typical length. They can also exit the body and impale the opponent etc. They are also quite good for first aid involving lacerations as they can double as stitches. When used as stitches, they will "die off" as they are separated from the larger body of threads, and lose the ability to be used in other techniques involving the shikai, and will remain after the sword has been resealed. Each different ability will be described in the kido list of the user as well as further details as to stat drains etc.

As stated in the sealed zanpakuto description, the blade holds hearts int its released state. When the sword infects the user, these hearts will become a part of him. They can be moved around the body at will to keep them safe until they need to be used. If the user suffers a mortal wound to the heart they cant recover from, they can discard that heart and replace it with another one of these. Each of these hearts holds 30 stamina points each. It is a passive trait that this process is done by, as it is in the instinctive nature of the zanpakuto to do so.

• Shikai Abilities:

Tendril Manipulation: This allows Zassou to cause tendrils to come from with in his body and out to attack the target. They can reach up to 15 meters. They can be used to bind or pierce the target as they have great piercing ability. They are extremely fast and difficult to dodge. Once caught up by them it is very difficult to escape their grip as once they pierce, they can weave into the body like thread. They cant be destroyed but they can be severed, and if they are hit with any kind of kido they will instantly retract. The tendrils are controlled by mental thought and body motions. The tendrils, if severed, will then "die" and be unusable, but can be reattached if Zassou can make contact with them. At this level they are merely a weapon just like his swords.

Divide and Conquer: The tendrils will dislocate a joint and the stitches which hold his skin together will retract, allowing him to extend his arms and legs up to fifteen feet. They are always connected to the body though.

Tendril Cannon: Normally the tendrils have to stay connected to Zassou's body to function. However, using this technique, he can fire a ball of the tendrils from his mouth towards an opponent, but cannot generally manipulate the path, so its like a gun or 'cannon' as the name implies. The ball, when it gets with in range of the intended target, 1 meter, the ball will open up and the tendrils will launch out and ensnare the target like a net and then stretch to the point where the entire body is covered. They will then begin to constrict, crushing the target in seconds.

Deploying things of Deep: To use this attack, Zassou directs his tendrils into the ground below. This can be done through either his feet or his hands. Either way, during this whole technique, he is rooted to the ground where he stands unless he extends the strands which takes up more reaitsu and concentration. This also weakens the tendrils which are stronger the more contracted they are.The Tendrils then begin to multiply and spread through out the ground in every direction for fifty meters. After they are done growing and multiplying, they all shoot straight up through the ground and into the air above, impaling anything they can find. The pillars can furhter be broken apart into individual strands. This can create a very large field of tendrils, basically giving full control of the battle to Zassou in most circumstances. This takes two posts to complete from beginning to end. From the second post on, the user can launch a spike of tendrils into the air to impale something for the next five posts. Each pillar costs 5 stamina points.

Last Defense: This technique is used to protect the insides of the user from deadly techniques that are aimed towards vital organs. The Jingou threads are right against the users skin in the body, making this jutsu possible. When it is used. It will cause the many, many threads in the persons body to constrict and become very tight, forming an armor just below the skin. This will make penetrating weapons like swords etc unable to pierce beyond the skin. Also this will cause minimal blood loss. Also this will soften the blow of blunt force attacks, saving the inner organs. This does nothing to stop piercing attacks, but most other attacks will be treated as if glancing off of armor. This technique only lasts for approximately five posts before it must be used again or the effects will be lost.
