Appearance
Possessed of plain features, Asao is a more or less forgettable experience in the department of looks. He is not ugly but merely not something one would remember if they ever saw him again. He stands at average height and shrouds himself in a completely standard shinigami uniform with no editions or subtractions to fit personal taste. He keeps his light brown hair cut at shoulder length precisely and allows it to fall over the sides of his face as if hiding himself further from the world.
Personality
He does not aim to please, to be seen, or in so many cases to exist for longer than a few moments in anyone's mind. He has for most of his life been the background, the shadow cast by the shining star that is never going to amount to anything more than that shadow. He embraces his own cursed existence by never trying to stand out and always putting down himself and the amazingly brilliant things he can do as something any idiot can do.
History
Asao's birth was foretold months in advance, and to be quite honest it was viewed as an inconvenience more than any form of blessing. His family had been given a child already not more than two years prior and with an heir to raise, and the two heads of family being needed to handle all the important affairs of 'born into riches' nobility his conception was almost thought of as abortable but for the loose tongue of a servant that had already let slip the news. The servant was found incompetent and fired and to this day cannot find work due to her loose lips. His mother and father forced themselves through all the normal things of having another child, making appearances at all times possible so as to not let this little curse ruin their standing.
When he was finally born he was handed off to a series of wet nurses and taken care of like a king of a lesser country. Where his parents would lavish praise and the bright lights on his elder brother Ichisao he was given only enough attention to make it impossible for others to talk about the neglected child. His every advancement ignored while his parents adored even a minor achievement by his brother. His brother entered the Academy and then later left it as he found it boring and preferred to focus on the business side of his family, again gaining the praise of his parents for not wasting his brilliance as a foot soldier. Asao however was done playing the game of chasing his brother and stopped. He stood in a lonely spotlight and watched his brother continue to run ever farther and farther away until he finally could never hope to catch up in his parents eyes and only then did Asao take another step forward.
He entered the academy, his parents notice only a passing question on his progress, and studied no more than any other person. He trained less than many others, and his only true talent seemed to be in hand-eye coordination using a weapon. Any weapon he picked up he was immediately adapting to as if somehow naturally attuned to it and yet when praised for it his only reply back was that it was just a stick, any idiot can swing a stick. He never once raised a hand during his classes, never brought attention to himself through misdoings or stupendous feats, and towed the line on all matters so he fell under the radar of any teacher who might think great things were to come of him.
His graduation left him holding a zanpakutō, a spare set of shinigami robes made of the simplest clothe found and a set of glares by his mother and father who in no way wanted to have to be at the event at all. He was just Asao, a second unwanted son, of the noble house of Asakobi and he would be cutting people open and sewing them shut for many decades to come within the most unnoticed division possible. Fourth.
Combat
Strengths
Lightsaber-and-the-Jedi - He is completely at home with any form of weapon put into his hands, immediately adapting it to himself and wielding it like a practiced individual after a few moments of play.
Steady-Steady-Steeeaaady - His hands absolutely unmoving when he wishes them to be, as if he literally locks his muscles into place so that not even a micronic shiver ripples across them. This proves to be an immensely valuable skill when one is cutting around the delicate nerves of his patients spinal column.
Weaknesses
What-A-Naruto - The epitome of one-trick pony, this man is forever bound to have kidō explode in his face, fizzle out upon creation, or just outright never form. His unparalleled hands come at the cost of an easy to outclass lack of control of reishi outside of focusing it behind his own weapon thus proving him to be of only one real talent.
