King of Poetry

## Nameless

"Welcome, I've finally gotten to see you, I was wondering what you all looked like. My books contain no pictures you see; alas I am forced to imagine everything I read which gives me such a headache. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The King of Poetry is the Main Protagonist of the Atraxius universe and the leader of the 9 Circles of Hell. In his previous life, he was a regular human named **Edgar Albert** before he was reincarnated into a new world, on the continent of **Atraxius**.

In his former life, **Edgar Albert** lived as a human in a world that was on the brink of destruction. During his life as a human **Edgar Albert** would write stories which encompassed the Gods of old and new of various cultures and mythologies. His stories enabled him to escape the violence, war, famine and disease which plagued the world.

After being reincarnated into nothingness, **Edgar Albert** decided that, unlike his previous life, he would ensure that his new world would be filled with life and happiness.

## Overview

**The King of Poetry**, Edgar Albert is a **Human** who was reborn into nothingness becoming Chaos itself. Tens of thousands of years ago, the **King of Poetry** started to shape the cosmos and the energy within it while battling Chaos. Before losing to Chaos, the **King of Poetry** made a universal law that all beings that possessed immense strength and power would be afflicted by a curse which would limit their powers. The purpose of this law was to limit the rampage of Chaos and enable all beings to remain on equal footing.

My poet king one day woke up, no longer who he was as a presence. His presence, floating in an infinite void could not move around or enact the actions he wished. After creating an astral body, he decided to entertain himself by creating a small wooden desk, a pen, an empty book and ink that never ran dry. He started writing, stories, worlds, landscapes, people. After writing for what seemed like forever he heard a voice, and his one lonely days were filled with a company that was in the form of smoke.

He starts writing one story after another accompanied by the voice who spoke only about death and destruction. Despite the voice the King wrote happy stories about the Gods he knew in his previous life. After finishing one book, this book detailing all the events that would happen during the lifetime of a person he put it down and started writing another.

At first his desk was filled with books, so he created a bookshelf. Then that bookshelf could no longer hold all the books he wrote and thus, he created a wall of books that he carefully organized.

As he wrote, time passed and the landscape around him become more clear as did his body. He felt as though he was not only shaping himself into a real person but he was also shaping the world around him, landscapes of ice, grassy fields, deserts, wastelands or oceans with no depth.

That being said even though he was taking a clearer shape the voice beside him became louder and this being started taking shape as well.

Walking around in his tower where books lined the walls and floors he felt accomplished having written millions of books and thus millions of lives, some of the most influencial beings that would affect the world he created. His tower placed placed above an astral hand that graspsed all the knowledge of the tower was brimming with life and power. He had written books with the knowledge of medicine, mechanics, demons, angels, summoning, medicine, poison, history and more.

But as he is writing the voice that is beside him that almost sounds like is within his voice wants to distort these happy lives, its telling him that if everyone is happy there won’t be any progress, art won’t exist, music won’t be played, everything will be monotonous, people will be at a stand still and eventually everyone will crumble because a life without anything is not a life worth living. He contemplates these things and decides to reopen some books and write a few changes, make their stories more interesting, add a bit of pain but only what people could manage. He walks through various realities that he could create and sees how everything could play out but the voice becomes louder wanting more destruction and more pain, saying the stories will be better, stronger, the people will grow stronger.

He then created the troubadours and tower guardians, beings that would go on and write stories, not the bigger more powerful stories that he created like the gods and the titans, the primordials, the monsters, the 9 levels of hell but the smaller humans, the every day mr and mrs. After creating 5 troubadours who would be in charge of continuing the story he sealed this voice, who turns out to be chaos, he seals her within himself and then seals himself within an empty tower where there are no books.

When waking up after god knows how long he comes face to face with a young girl with hair of crimson, she looked no older than 20 however she had a youthful smile and eyes of fire. Her power so imaginably out of this world was trapped within his own consciousness.

He decides to remain sealed with her in the tower and only observe how the world on the outside is. He notices that people are dying, there is war everywhere, the servants that were supposed to maintain order were being bribed or sealed by other gods. He unseals himself partially to go back and read the stories he had written but notices that sections that he had written were stricken out and re written in red pen.

While he wasn’t looking chaos had re written stories completely, creating pain, suffering and mayhem everywhere. And now he has to go change the course of the tower so that it doesn’t collapse and die. Oh and also every time he changes something that was written he receives a curse, which is the curse of pain. And if anyone touches him they will feel his pain.

## Appearance

When Edgar Albert lived on Earth he had, curly short brown hair. He had a small build from his illnesses that plagued his body and was often seen wearing a dark shirt with comfortable pants.

As the King of Poetry, he is shown in his first moments as an aura of pure golden energy.

Edgar Albert created himself in the image of his original self back when he was a teenager. He was of above-average height, taller than many around him, with auburn hair and green eyes. He has a well-built body.

Shunsui is a tall, light-skinned Shinigami with high cheekbones, grey eyes and long wavy brown hair. His hair is tied in a long ponytail and has long bangs that frame the left side of his face. He also has a noticeable amount of body hair on his chest, feet, and arms. He wears a Sugegasa straw hat and a pink, flowered lady's kimono, which he drapes across his shoulders and over his captain's uniform. Although his haori and obi sash are cheap, his pin-wheel hairpins are very expensive. He does not wear tabi with his sandals. He has thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks. Over a hundred years before Sōsuke Aizen's defection, Shunsui only had facial hair on his upper mouth. After the battle with the Wandenreich, Shunsui wears an eyepatch over his right eye that was damaged during the conflict. The top half of his right ear is sliced off at a slight tilt with a scar along his right temple.

## Personality

Shunsui is a laid-back and flamboyant man, evident in his style of dress and general attitude, and is usually smiling. In his off time, he often drinks sake in bars and naps. He likes steamed buns that go with sake, but dislikes powdered green tea. Other times, he likes to chase after women; particularly his lieutenant, Nanao Ise, whom he calls "my Nanao-chan" (Lil' Nanao in the English Dub) and his former lieutenant, Lisa Yadōmaru. Shunsui tends to use a more casual speech style than many other captains. He generally refers to his fellow captains and Shinigami by their first name followed by an honorific. He wrote a romance novel titled "Rose-colored Path", which runs in Seireitei Communication, but is very unpopular. Shunsui does not receive a single fan letter or gift for his birthday from his readers, but he is not bothered by this at all.

Shunsui is a peace-loving man who will always try to talk his way out of battles, though he does not wish to insult opponents by refusing to fight. He has a great distaste for fighting, telling Love Aikawa that "it doesn't matter whether you owe someone or they owe you; as soon as you start fighting, you are in the wrong either way." The slightly eccentric Shunsui also seems to like making an impression on opponents. Though Shunsui tries to talk his way out of a fight, he will fight when the situation demands it, such as in his battle with Coyote Starrk. When Starrk asked that they only pretend to fight, he declined the offer, though noted that he prefers to do the same. Shunsui maintains a level of honor and integrity when engaging in battle. He refuses to fight with children or even in the presence of a child. He also dislikes taking the life of innocent people, as he left Chad alive when Nanao offered to kill him. He always maintains a veil of respect for his opponent, is polite in combat situations and prefers to fight one on one. When fighting powerful opponents, like Starrk or Aizen, Shunsui rarely loses his cool, going as far as to make small talk and joke around with his opponents.

Despite being one of the strongest and oldest captains, Shunsui retains a level of humility and is not overly arrogant about his strength, acknowledging that Tōshirō Hitsugaya has the potential to become stronger than himself given enough time.

However, Shunsui also harbors a deep sense of guilt over the misfortune that has afflicted those close to him, such as the death of his brother and the execution of Nanao's mother, and considers it a burden too heavy for him to carry alone.

## Abilities and Powers

**Immeasurable Spiritual Power**: Even by a captain's standards, Zaraki's Reiryoku is monstrous. Even as he subconsciously suppressed the majority of his true power for centuries, his spiritual power was of such a degree that his fighting prowess is never noticeably hindered with his energy-sealing eyepatch, with Zaraki challenging two captain-level and Bankai-wielding opponents in succession. Ganju Shiba estimated his sealed power to be close to or at the same level as Byakuya Kuchiki's Reiatsu. Retsu Unohana, one of the most powerful captains of the Gotei 13, stated she was weaker than him even while he was still a child. During the Invasion of Hueco Mundo, he defeated the fifth Espada, Nnoitra Gilga, and could overpower Yammy Llargo, the strongest of the Espada. After defeating Unohana and removing his mental limits, Zaraki becomes powerful enough to fight on par with and defeat Gremmy Thoumeaux without taking off his eyepatch, and pressure Gerard Valkyrie while the Sternritter was vastly empowered by **The Miracle** and previously defeated several Shinigami in a single attack. When unleashing a strong enough surge of energy, it becomes visible and yellow in color, sometimes appearing as a skull.

**Unruly Reiatsu Control**: By his own admission, Zaraki has poor control of his spiritual energy as it constantly remains very potent, forcing him to rely on his eyepatch to keep it at a more manageable level. Despite this, he is able to make liberal use of it in a variety of ways. It can affect large areas, spanning miles, and cause others within that area to enter a state of paralysis and confusion. When exerting his energy, the sheer magnitude of Zaraki's energy can cause considerable damage, destroying the area around him and launching away weaker opponents. Likewise, this can repel or disrupt most enemy attacks and abilities. After defeating Unohana, Zaraki gains considerable control over his Reiatsu; prior to fighting Gremmy, Shinigami in the nearby area were completely unable to detect his Reiatsu. He can also use his Reiryoku for more basic feats, such as standing in midair like other Shinigami.
**Damage Resistance:** The intensity of Zaraki's Reiryoku also acts as a sort of armor, making it impossible for him to be harmed by anyone not at least at his level of power. This is first demonstrated when he faced Ichigo. At the start of the fight, Zaraki allows Ichigo to strike him, yet despite leaving himself completely unguarded and not resisting, not only did Ichigo fail to cut him, but Ichigo's hands started to bleed because of the recoil from the attempt.
## History/ Background

In his previous life, Arthur lived by the name Grey. He lived on a dystopian, futuristic Earth, as an orphan in an orphanage alongside his childhood friends Nico Sever and Cecilia. Due to the somewhat impoverished nature of the orphanage he lived in, **Grey** and **Nico** resorted to criminal activities (predominantly burglary of the rich) to assist their home's situation. Following the death of his motherly figure, who was the Headmaster of the orphanage, **Grey**'s mind was consumed by revenge and in a bid to gain more power enrolled in cadet school, despite its risks, to become king. Throughout his later life as **King Grey,** he eschewed any and all long-term attachments; seeing them as weaknesses that others could exploit and in doing so hardened his heart and closed off his emotions. Soon after the wars were replaced by Paragon Duels, Grey retired from being the king.
