"I don't fight for my life I fight to protect those I care about, because if you would only fight for your self then you would not be able to protect anyone"
Ichigo's most distinguishing feature is his spiky orange hair, a trait he has been ridiculed about for years on end. He is a fairly tall, lean-built young man with peach skin and brown eyes. He likes to wear slim fitting clothes. He has a tendency to wear shirts patterned with the number 15 because his name is a homonym for the number. Since becoming a Shinigami, he has become noticeably more muscular, as noted by his sister Karin. When in his spiritual form, Ichigo wears the standard Shinigami shihakushล, with the addition of a strap across his chest. Initially, it was a thick brown belt to hold his Zanpakutล sheath, but it later became a red rosary-like strap after awakening his own Shinigami powers. It is shaped like a kite with a flat top and bottom. Ichigo's appearance has caused several people, including Jลซshirล Ukitake, to note a similarity to Kaien Shiba, the former lieutenant of the 13th Division. After training in the Dangai, Ichigo's hair grows considerably, and he is noticeably taller, as stated by his friends. After Ichigo loses his Shinigami powers, his appearance reverts to the way it was before his Dangai training.
Seventeen months after defeating Aizen, Ichigo's overall appearance does not change, but he becomes taller again and grows sideburns. After regaining his powers, seemingly caused by remaining energy from his Fullbring, Ichigo's Shinigami attire consists of a thicker strap across his chest. He has four black vertical lines on his forearms and black, tattoo-like bands crossing over his chest, wrists, and ankles. Similar bands, but with white ends, lie around his neck as collars.
After training at the Soul King Palace, Ichigo wears his standard black shihakushล, but with some notable changes: he has two white shoulder plates crossing his chest in an X shape that hold his Shikai blades in place, with the first plate on his left shoulder having three sections adorned with red scales, the second plate having three sections adorned with red scales on his right waist, and a white cloak with black markings tied around his waist.
Personality
When he was younger, Ichigo considered his mother to be the center of his world, always smiling when he was with Masaki and regularly holding her hand. Despite crying whenever he lost in a match at the dojo he attended, Ichigo started to smile again as soon as he saw Masaki when she came to pick him up. At a very young age, Ichigo heard his father saying his name means "to protect one thing," which instilled in him a desire to protect his mother. When his sisters were born, he began attending a dojo for the sake of protecting them. Since then, the number of people he wishes to protect has continued to grow, causing Ichigo to risk his life to protect both the people close to him and complete strangers.
As a teenager, Ichigo is stubborn, short-tempered, strong-willed, and impulsive.Despite claiming not to care about what other people think about him, he attempts to maintain a detached and "cool" image.He generally keeps his face set in a near-permanent scowl, with his eyebrows drawn together.His outspoken, hot-headed demeanor is a trait Ichigo himself has acknowledged, and if somebody picks a fight with him, he cannot help fighting back. He coldly refers to his teachers as "instructors". He is genuinely compassionate and empathetic towards others, promising to bring a Plus flowers and a toy plane,or soothing others when they become upset.
Ichigo is a capable student, ranked 23rd in his year at school, who studies regularly and does not neglect his schoolwork. He works as hard as he does to overcome the misconceptions many have about him based on his hair color and fighting. Ichigo hates fortune telling, horoscopes, feng shui, psychics, and anyone whose trade involves taking money from people for things they cannot see. He has difficulty remembering people's faces and names. However, Ichigo can remember the names of noticeable individuals even when they did not directly tell him their names. Ichigo becomes extremely shy and uncomfortable around nude or immodestly dressed women, a fact both Yoruichi Shihลin and Rangiku Matsumoto have teased him for. Ichigo is often disrespectful when talking to those older than himself, calling Genryลซsai Shigekuni Yamamoto "gramps" and referring to several of the Shinigami captains by their given names without using honorifics.
When it comes to fighting, Ichigo has a complex sense of honor; he regularly seeks to exact revenge for the cruel actions of his opponent, such as instilling the fear of being murdered in Shrieker and cutting off the right arm of Yammy Llargo in retaliation for him ripping Yasutora Sado's right arm off. He often taunts and belittles his opponents when fighting, sometimes attacking without warning.Ichigo has a strong desire to win his fights, but in what he views as a legitimate manner. To this end, he has often refused the aid of his inner Hollow, even when knowing it would allow him to win. Ichigo's resolve in battle can waver at times, which can impede his fighting prowess, and goes into a state of depression and self-loathing when he loses a major battle or lets a friend down. Ichigo despises those who mistreat their allies in any way, even if they are his own enemies. He was disgusted when Yammy calls Ulquiorra Cifer, Nnoitra Gilga, and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez "trash".
Well what do ya know? You're my favorite, too! I wiiiish I could loiter up all night. I used to! When I was a teenager, hahaha. I work a boring 7:30am-4:30pm job during the weekdays. I'm compromising my sleep schedule right now, but it's been too much fun with you so I just couldn't help it these past couple of nights! That said, I'm a night owl so I'm almost always awake until 2am regardless. Neat job, though! And sure! I'm not much of a Discord person, either. Had one ages ago and never logged back into it after making it, haha. Okay, so. I'm going to catch them zzz's! Goodnight, Ichi-kun! Don't work too hard.ย
Trust me, it is most certainly mutual. I quite like the dynamic Ichigo and Yoruichi have, and getting to play off of that with you has been a blast. The most fun I've had since I made this profile waaaay too long ago. So thank you for that! I'm going to be going to sleep soon, so I will reply again tomorrow, but just know you've made the past couple of nights for me very nice on here!ย
Also, lol, too true about people being mutes. Especially in our verse? Sooooo weird.ย
"Indeed he has. Isn't it wonderfully ironic? The man who desired more is now forced to an eternity of even less. From seeking to covet the Soul Society to being fettered to it. Oh, how the mighty fall.~"
"I wouldn't say that I was fearless. I had a reason to look the devil in the eye. Something to protect." she meets his gaze pointedly.ย
It worked! Thank you so much! I had been working on a layout, but I am more than happy to keep this up for now while I continue to slowly work on mine! And as thanks for being so great and fun to interact with, here's a little something for you:ย
"Aizen is a special kind of asshole." Just the mention of his name is enough to make the hair on the back of her neck bristle. Creepy bastard with his equally creepy transformations. "What are friends for? I know you would have my back if I ever found myself up against terrible odds."
This is how your comment looks to me:ย https://i.imgur.com/LNNVgqv.png It's possible the site ate the code, as the coding itself conflicts with the coding that allows us to operate comment boxes and messages.ย
"Actually, I had very little to do with it." Although she was never one to reminisce - after all, she had fled her previous life in an effort to be free of the politics and to reflect back upon that seemed a moot point these days - her time spent with Ichigo and his friends was a period in her life that she could do so. And what fond memories she had of them all. Of Ichigo, especially. Who would have thought that that stubborn, strawberry brat would turn out to be so powerful?
"You never cease to surprise me. If you had lacked the conviction to protect your friends, to save Rukia, then there's a very good chance that we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. No amount of training does anyone any good if they aren't completely dedicated to getting stronger. You pushed through impossible odds, to say that I was impressed by your resolve would be an understatement"
ใ Aw, you're so sweet! Thank you for taking the time out to make me something like that, that's so thoughtful of you! But with that said, I can't seem to find the layout? The link you sent me directs me to a general generator page, or maybe I'm just not looking in the right place... Btw. I apologize for the pauses between responses. I'm currently editing some photos and doing other things outside of the computer. ใ
"Expect the unexpected, huh?" was this pride blossom in her bossom? She half wondered if he was aware of the valuable lesson hidden tucked away within those very words. Something she'd like to think is a result of their training some time ago. "Sometimes I forget you were once such a naive little boy," she doesn't mean it as an insult, and flashes him a brilliant smile to let him know it.ย
