Kaien Kurosaki (Future)

**Kaien Kurosaki (Future)**, or **Future Kaien Kurosaki** is the 17 year-old son of former Substitute Shinigami Future Ichigo Kurosaki and 13th Division Captain Future Rukia Kuchiki, as well as a member of the Kurosaki and Kuchiki families in the future 20 years from now. He is also the older brother of Future Masaki Kurosaki II and the 3rd Substitute Shinigami after his father.

## Physical Appearance

Future Kaien is a slim, fairly tall young adult male with traits similar to his parents; from his father, he has his trademark spiky hair (except his is colored black like his mother's former mentor), his brown-colored eyes, as well as his father's signature scowl, facial expression. From his mother, he has her skin color and the shape of her face. He has two scars on his upper left back and an x-shaped scar on his left cheek; these two wounds he suffered were from his tragic future.

Future Kaien wears the standard Shinigami *shihakushō* and *hakama*, along with the standard *obi*, *tabi* and *waraji*, as well as his father's trademark white cloak with dark red markings tied around his waist and having tattered endings, which he recieved from the rubble from the site where his father died. He also wears black, fingerless gloves that extends to his wrists.

## Personality

Much like his father, Future Kaien is immensely stubborn, short-tempered, strong-willed, and impulsive. He also inherited other several traits of his father, such as his rough and violent temper when fighting opponents, his shyness around naked women, his disrespectful attitude towards his elders and high-ranking individuals, as well as his attempt to maintain a serious and "cool" image, despite what others might not think.

However, the most important trait he inherited from his father is his compassionate, caring, and loyal personality towards those around him, showing a great deal of love and concern for his allies, and soothing them when they are upset, something that the present Ichigo starts to take notice more often.

Despite that, Future Kaien is not without keeping secrets from his parents and perfers not to tell anyone about their future until the time is right.

### Zanpakutō

**Kengetsu** (*Striking Moon*):

* **Shikai**: The Shikai form of Kengetsu resembles an oversized khyber knife instead of a formal katana, much like the original Shikai form of his father's **Zangetsu**. It has no tsuba and no proper hilt; what Future Kaien holds is the cloth-wrapped tang. The sword is about as tall as Future Kaien is, and has a silver blade with a black edge. The cloth wrapping on the tang seems to react to Future Kaien's will, changing length at a thought or twining about the blade in an impromptu sheath. When in combat, the cloth falls away when necessary, shrinking back to a manageable size. The cloth can be used to swing the weapon like a flail and to toss it at opponents for mid-range combat, as well as bandage wounds, but these are done rarely. Future Kaien has, on more than one occasion, used Kengetsu's wide blade as a shield from incoming attacks, and for deflecting energy attacks.

**Shikai Special Ability**: Kengetsu is mainly used for melee combat, but possesses two known abilities just like his father's Zangetsu:
