## Relationships

**Kurome Kuchiki**: Seikyoku has a good relationship with his older sister Kurome Kuchiki. While he feels he can be himself around her he also knows that being the younger of the two his actions would fall under her. This is why he upholds himself around others in a manner befitting of a Kuchiki but also wants to enjoy himself.

Under the surface, Seikyoku has felt Kurome pushes him away due to him reminding her of their late brother. Causing him to hide a deep sadness.

**Kaima Kuchiki**: The older brother and eldest of the Kuchiki trio. Kaima was never kind to Seikyoku unless around others. He would constantly berate his younger brother and put him through cruel treatment. Due to this Seikyoku never truly felt a brotherly bond with Kaima. Only truly seeing his sister as a sibling. But in this same instance, Seikyoku envied his sister. while he was constantly scorned, it was as if any love went towards her.

After the passing of Kaima. Seikyoku still visited his grave although it was uncommon for anyone to speak of or even attend the sight. Though he would have some hints of harsh words Seikyoku always tended to the resting place of his bother. Ironically finding this be the only time something similar to a sibling bond the two would have.

**Ryujin Suiiki**: A master with his blade. Seikyoku once tried to take the young lieutenant on as a master. Suiiki reluctantly taught Seikyoku some things, however, he focused on Seikyokus mental state and connection with his Zanpakuto. stressing those were the most important for a swordsman such as himself.

## History

Seikyoku Kuchiki was born the youngest of three siblings. In the main family branch of the great noble Kuchiki Clan. Groomed from a young age by clan elders. Seikyoku learned how to carry himself elegantly and nobly. The main source of structure and teaching for him was from his elder sister. Kurome Kuchiki, her acting more like a mixture of a mother and a sister than anything.

As the youngest of the three siblings, Seikyoku did not receive much attention and the ones received were more than often comparing him to his elder siblings. The constant pressure and belittling from his family lead the young boy to have a split personality of sorts. Although he kept this in it only made the condition worse over time.

Growing into his own, Seikyoku took on the path of swordsmanship, seeing it as a way to be able to protect her sister in a field where she was not focused. But he also had a talent for the skill. Perhaps even showing more skill than his older two siblings. This was forged from taking on the tutilage of swordsman masters such as the young lieutenant of the 10th diviion Ryujin Suiiki through many trials. Seikyoku Honed himself into the person he is today.
