Name: Asano Keigo
Birthday: April 1st
Age: I'm gonna go with 16, though technically he could be 15
Height: Almost as tall as Ichigo, so probably 5'7" or 5'8"
Weight: Kinda skinny (like everybody else in Bleach), but I'm not so good at estimating weight
Medical Info: Completely normal! Almost ridiculously so, given how much he's abused by his friends and sister, but nothing serious
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Also brown
Physical Features: Once again, depressingly normal physically

What's Okay To Mention: Anything, really. He might yell and whine and cry if you pick on him, but that's what he's there for.

Abilities: At this point in the canon, it's only established that Keigo can see ghosts. There's potential for more abilities there, but no info on whether he'll get them/what they could be.

Notes for Psychics: Not much. Keigo thinks about girls, a lot. He also cares a lot about his friends, and he's smarter than he looks, so you might catch a few deep thoughts. Just not for long.

Shapeshifting/Bodyswapping/Spitting at/Stepping on/Etc: That's basically Keigo's job in canon! He gets abused, and I won't take that away from him! He won't even fight back! He'll just try to get away or talk you out of it.

Hugging/Kissing/Other Non-Violent Physical Contact: Feel free! Even if you traumatize him, he'll recover fast.

Maim/Murder/Death: Like I said, he'll avoid a fight at all costs, but he might step in to try to stop one if someone is going to get hurt. I'd like to keep him in one piece, but talk to me. I like to think I'm pretty flexible too!

Emo/Angst/Drama: Keigo doesn't really do any of those. He's just loud and annoying, and if you emo at him, he will be loud and annoying until you laugh or get too distracted with hitting him to emo anymore! So feel free!

Cooking: Ahaha... I would assume he has no experience ever. Just because.

Character: Asano Keigo
Series: Bleach
Character Age: 15~16
Canon: Every Shounen series has to have its heroes, its villains, and its comic relief. It’s like a rule or something. Seriously, I think they’re making it one of the Laws of Physics next year. I read an article about it on the internet.

Anyway, as Ichigo runs off to fulfill his destiny among the ghosts, hollows, shinigami, arrancar, vizord, and assorted unappreciated filler characters, the little guys like Keigo get forgotten. With no more power than your average chipmunk (unless seeing stuff and not knowing what the hell it is counts as a superpower now), this classmate of Ichigo’s manages to survive on his sense of humor and sheer dumb luck. There are moments when it might seem like there’s a bit of unappreciated intelligence hiding under that mask of idiocy and fail, but then Keigo does something to convince everyone but his best friend Mizuiro that it was all just a trick of the light.

In fact, he even seems to take his stupidity with more than a bit of pride, praising himself and Mizuiro for not being among the top 50 students in his grade and bursting into shameful tears of betrayal when two of his “moron friends” make it onto the prestigious list. “Comically hopeless” might be a good phrase to describe Keigo and the many facets of his life, whether it be his relationships with family and friends, his luck with girls, or his chances of ever understanding the crazy shit he’s suddenly and violently found himself wrapped up in.

Sample Post:

Villains! Fiends! Evil masked ghosts! Spirited me away and dropped me in this swamp while I peacefully slumbered! …Seriously, what the hell? I didn’t even say Candle Ja—

Close one... Ignoring supposedly imaginary and potentially deadly beings, how the hell does somebody wake up half-sunk in quicksand and covered from head to toe in mud?! I could have died! Though it was nice of someone to cover my eyes with cucumber slices. If I hadn’t seen so many weird things lately, I’d think I was just dreaming this… You know what? That’s what I’ll go with anyway. It’s all just a crazy dream! Haha!

…Hey! It worked! I feel a lot better about this, and it was all just a case of mind over matter! The swamp? Just my brain saying I’m at a confusing point in my life! The quicksand? Only a representation of my feelings of hopelessness! The singing birds? Simply a form for my, uh… love of showtunes? The… the zombies.

Oh, wow, they’re getting awfully close, aren’t they? That might be a physical expression of my cue to turn the other direction and run for my life! --Wait, what am I scared of? This is my dream, right? I just have to take charge! …fu fu fu… Fall in line, comrades! We must bolster our spirits and preserve our young hearts by making merry this day! Though the world may look down on our lack of brains, we will stand proud! We’ll have tons of fun in front of everybody and not let them play, no matter how hard they beg. First you march your feet like me- left, right, left, right- and then sing from your heart, or… or from some nearby organs if you don’t have one!

All we wanna do is eat your brains~
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we wanna do is eat your brains~
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains~!

Ha! That’ll show ‘em! Right, comrades?! …Zombies? Hey! Where are you going?! You’re not allowed to ignore your captain! It’s treason! Slow down, guys! My tears of sorrow have no meaning when you run away so quickly! I have a brain! I swear!!
