Name: Osamu Yori
Gender: Male
Age: 673
Reiatsu Color: Pine Green
Reiatsu Aura: The sensation that the world, as a whole, highly disapproves of you and your actions.
Faction: Shinigami
Rank: 3rd Division, 4th Seat
Appearance:
A short, lean individual, Osamu Yori stands at a mere 5'6", weighing a slight 139 pounds. Despite frequent efforts to tame it, his raven hair often falls down into his face, a particularly large lock settling between blue-gray eyes framed by a pair of spectacles. An omnipresent set to his jaw and the cool look in his eyes give an air of strict discipline to the man, the sense that he does not tolerate nonsense.
Personality: Demanding as much from himself as he does from his subordinates, Osamu Yori is a highly disciplined and extremely organized individual. Duties and paperwork must be finished on time, if not early; shihakushou should be immaculate, posture just so; shifts ending and beginning at proper times; rules, in short, should be followed to the letter, and woe to the shinigami who should even attempt to bend them.
Yori's devotion to his duties affords him little time or patience for social gatherings, and he often doesn't bother playing nice when speaking to others -- cool formalities are the best one can hope for. Even his superiors will see only a slight thawing in the fukutaichou's mood, and then more out of respect than kindness or friendliness.
Even with his strict adherence to rules and order, Yori -- like many individuals -- has a secret side to him, one that nobody will ever be told of...whenever he can, the stoic shinigami slips off to mingle in the marketplace, finding books of and attending plays about slapstick comedy, buying stacks of the former to bring to his office and squirrel away for later reading. Indeed, his love for the sublime art of pie-tossing, head-bonking, and general absurdity is so great that, if witnessing an act that could be classified as "slapstick" while unprepared, he is likely to break into uncharacteristic laughter before regaining his aloof composure.
Likes: order, discipline, reading, solitude, slapstick (secretly), ants, pork (in all forms), intelligent debates, flower arrangements
Dislikes: slackards, unintelligent people, talkative people, people in general, grapes, tragedies, rain
History:
Raised in a rather strict household by shinigami parents, Yori began his own path towards joining the Gotei at an early age. Discipline and lessons being forced upon him daily and for long hours saw him quickly adopt his parents' outlooks and sober attitude. In the summer of 1453, he joined the Gotei and was assigned to the Third Division, where he briefly met his new Taichou: Saikokui Kurisuna.
His duties as an unseated member began in the library, sorting, returning, and lending out books; naturally, being around so much information for as many years as he had saw Yori amass a veritable treasure trove of trivia in all manner of subjects. Eventually, his efficiency was noted by his superiors, and a promotion to seventh seat saw Yori moved from the librarian's desk and into the analyst's offices.
During his tenure as an analyst, Yori often wandered the grounds in thought, and first began to notice that the division grounds were full of gardens of varying sizes...and levels of tidiness. His intensity for organization and order drove him, eventually, to begin cleaning, rearranging, and generally sprucing up the many spots of greenery throught the Third Division -- a task that he began to see more as a hobby after a time. Not long after, he managed to uncover information allowing for a major investigation to be solved; Kurisuna herself approved of his initiative and efforts, and promoted him to the Fourth Seat.

Division Skill: Reiatsu Transcription
Free Skill: Renaissance Man - Whether on-duty or off, Yori spends much of his time poring over vast amounts of information on a wide variety of subjects; given this fact, it's no surprise that he has gleaned bits and pieces of data on all sorts of information over the years, making him something of a walking encyclopedia. It should be noted that he does not have perfect knowledge on any one subject.
Abilities
Zanpakutō
Zanpakutō Name: Erdgeist
Spirit:
More than a little unpleasant to behold, Erdgeist is a frightful amalgamation of decayed flesh and plant matter; a hunched, vaguely humanoid being, the zanpakutou spirit's bones and muscles are bared in many of the more rotten spots upon its mottled green body, and from between its fang-riddled jaws, a 'tongue' -- a vine, really -- stretches forth to the improbable length of three feet.
Inner World: Erdgeist's spirit dwells in a small forest clearing, 15 meters in diameter, in which sits a massive, aged obelisk: an ancient marker to an anonymous grave. Surrounding the clearing are endlessly thick ranks of trees, looming ominously over the grave like dark sentinels.
Sealed: Erdgeist's sealed form, unlike most other zanpakutou, resembles a rapier. The blade measures 33 inches in length, and the hilt another six inches; Erdgeist's hilt has been stylized, mottle-green "vines" curving down to form the handguard.
