Character Info
◎ Character's Name: Jushiro Ukitake
◎ Character's Canon: Bleach
◎ Character's Age: Unknown, but at least several hundred years.
◎ Canon Point:
◎ Background/History: Wiki Link
◎ Is the character a hacker and/or do they have a sixth-sense? None per-se, although all beings with access to spiritual abilities in Bleach are able to sense others with those abilities, and are able to tell when those abilities are in use and significant changes in the users spiritual energy. It isn't a stretch to believe that this can be applied to others who use skills based on their own innate spiritual power.
This is not related to any form of telepathic or prophetic abilities.
◎ Personality:
Captain Jushiro Ukitake is a well loved and well respected figure in the Soul Society and among 13 Court Guard Squads that protect it. He is a kind, compassionate man who treats everyone with respect no matter how lowly their status is, and is the old-fashioned kind of warrior who maintains such a high moral code that he will never allow anyone or anything to harm his subordinates or those who protect them. Furthermore, he is perceptive and capable of seeing how things fit together in the larger picture. If there is something happening that he disagrees with, he will outright violate direct orders in order to see that the right course of action is taken. His high standards and his own honor are the key behind his decision making process, and why he went so far out of his way in the early arcs of the manga to protect Rukia Kuchiki, his subordinate, from falling victim to Sousuke Aizen's manipulations.
His high moral standings, while a strong current in his personality and part of why he is so highly respected despite the fact that his continued ailments frequently prevent him from acting to his full capacity, have also been used against him to a painful extent. His personal code of conduct and sense of compassion, while as solid as a rock in a storm, are also reminiscent of an era that has long since passed, when master swordsmen and honorable warriors were more commonplace than they are today. By his own definition, there are two reasons why any person should take on a fight: one is to fight to preserve the life and safety of those that they care about, and the other is to fight to preserve their own personal pride in themselves. While this means that any measure must be taken to protect what's important, it must also be done in such a way that everyone's personal pride remains intact.
If intervening in a fight where someone you care about is losing, and rescuing that person destroys their pride in themselves, then that person must not be rescued. There is nothing worse than sentencing a friend, a loved one, to a fate where they are broken for the rest of their existance.
His pride, the very core of his personal philosophy, also cost himself, his squad, and the entire court guard squads the life of his lieutenant, Kaien Shiba. Furthermore, he couldn't be the one to deliver Kaien to his ultimate fate-- that was Rukia. This loss haunts the both of them, even over a century later, and it frustrates and shames Ukitake that he had been the direct cause of pain to the people he cares the most about.
◎ Powers/Abilities:
Like all Captain-level Shinigami, Jushiro Ukitake is a master of the basic arts of Swordsmanship, Kido, and Shunpo. While his overall physical strength and agility are lacking due to the general frailty of his body and his physical health, he more than makes up for it in his skill in rapidly pulling utilizing high level spells without an incantation and his knowledge of various sealing rituals and techniques. He is also noted as being highly durable, as his quick recovery after being impaled in the chest by the Arrancar Wonderweiss Margera is nothing short of impressive, and he is able to block a cero blast with his bare hands.
It is also noted that the very strength of his spiritual power and presence is immense, but it's hardly noticeable most of the time because he has spent his lifetime using this innate trait to support his frail, ailing body. In the current arc in the manga, when the remaining Captains and their allies are trying to open the gate to the Soul King's palace, the loss of his power is unable to be compensated for without the use of an amplification device. While it has been shown multiple times in the manga that low level souls are unable to withstand being in the very presence of a Shinigami with such a powerful spiritual resonance, Ukitake has such masterful control over his energies that none of his weaker subordinates or any of the spiritually aware humans he interacts with ever have problems being around him.
As a possible side effect of spending so much of an incredibly long lifetime in and out of emergency medical wards, Ukitake has learned enough of emergency medical techniques over the years that he is able to assist medical personel in helping others during emergencies. He also adept at library research, putting people at ease, understanding a person's feelings and emotions, and is so handsome and gentle that he is noted to be quite popular with both men and women. While he downplays and remains humble about this last trait, it so frequent that his best friend, Shunsui Kyoraku, has given him various nicknames ranging from 'handsome' to 'lady-killer' and he had Sui-Feng, a fellow captain, pin him to a tree for the sake of a photo shoot for a calendar distributed by the Shinigami Women's Association.
He is also noted for writing a series of popular childrens stories, and he dabbles in various traditional arts like Bonsai in his free time...although his relative skill is charming at best and questionable at worst.
His blade, Sogyo no Kotowari has unlocked both it's initial Shikai ability and it's Bankai ability-- again, a trait that is required among all Captain-level Shinigami with few exceptions. In it's released form, his blade splits into two separate swords that are connected by a decorated cord between their hilts. Ability-wise, his skill is rather unusual among the Shinigami, as he is able to absorb the energy of an enemy's attack with his blade and blast it back with such speed and effectiveness that it is difficult to dodge, and it seems like the attack is one that originated from him. The speed and strength can be altered as it passes through the cord from one blade to the other before it's released, further reinforcing the idea that it is an entirely separate attack; as noted by the Arrancar, Coyote Starrk, it's quite a twisted ability.
At this point in time, the Bankai state of his blade is unknown.
Regarding Ukitake's physical ailments: While fan speculation suggests that the illness is related to Tuberculosis, a highly contagious and not uncommon long-term lung disease historically, the recent arc of the manga suggests that his bloody, incurable cough is actually the result of the treatment for a disease. When he was very very young, he contracted a fatal lung disease that every doctor in the region had given up on treating and abandoned him as a lost cause. However, his parents were of the superstitious sort, and they were unwilling to give up. They took him to the shrine of an ancient god whose physical existance is little more than an eye and a hand, a god known as Mimihagi, and offered their son's damaged lungs in exchange for his life. Though Ukitake did survive to lead a successful life, it is unknown what the state of his lungs are. Furthermore, because of this contract, he is able to offer up the rest of his body and his life to become the physical form of this arcane god, whom we learn is the Right Hand of the Soul King, the literal pillar that holds the multiple worlds together.
