HISTORY
Human Life, Armenian Genocide
Katsumi's life has not given her a particularly positive view of the world. Kat was born in a little village in what is now Turkey, in her time the Ottoman Empire. Her father ran a small clinic just on the edge of the village, her mother assisted him as a nurse. Little Katsumi, though that was not her name then, helped as she could. Fetched water, towels, brought patients food, fetched supplies, and quickly developed a passion for the medical practice. Her father taught her a great deal, little by little, until Kat herself took over her father's duties upon his untimely death. For several years Katsumi tended to her community's ailments, patched their wounds, treated their illnesses, delivered their children, wandering to nearby villages to give medicines and help whatever way she could. The people around for miles knew her name and face. The people around knew that if they needed help, Kat was there.
With the coming of the great war, her simple life would come to an abrupt and violent end. The Ottoman Empire entered the war in its first year. Ottoman authorities had never been fully tolerant of the Armenians, and this boiled over during the Great War.
The Ottoman military had been routed in the battle of Sarikamish against the Russians at the beginning of the war. The generals, needing of a good scapegoat, blamed the Armenians for the loss, claiming they collaborated with the Russians. The Ottoman government eventually initiated a policy known as Directive 8682, wherein Armenian communities were ordered to supply exorbitant amounts of troops and resources. When they could not the Ottomans accused the Armenians of rebellion, and began imprisoning some while slaughtering most.
Kat was not spared. The soldiers came to her village in the year 1915, and began rounding up all the women, children, elderly and infirm to be slaughtered in death camps. The men were simply shot dead in the streets, their corpses burned in pits.
Her fate met Katsumi, when a woman slammed on the door of her clinic, her husband bleeding in her arms. Kat was hiding, having heard the gunshots and seen the soldiers. She emerged when she heard the plea, a familiar voice. Katsumi did everything she could, and the man seemed as though he was going to survive. Perhaps someone had told the soldiers, perhaps they saw the woman bring her husband into the clinic, perhaps they were doing roundss, Katsumi has often wondered. Two soldiers broke her door down, and simply shot dead the three innocents in the room. Kat was shot in the head, she did not linger. Soul Society, Rukon
Katsumi came to the Soul Society with, well, nothing. She had wandered the human world for only a few days, staying around her village, watching as everyone she ever knew were being taken off to their deaths. The shinigami she met told her how great the afterlife was, how she would never age or feel hunger, and all the rest. She felt confused by his words whenever her piercing hunger panged. Life on the streets of the Rukon was not easy for Katsumi. She barely had enough energy to beg for food.
After nearly a decade, her only reprisal was a kindly old woman, who found Kat wrapped in a tattered blanket in some damp alleyway. The woman gave Katsumi some bread, which she quite happily devoured. To her surprise, the woman came the next day with stew, and then the next with delicious cuts of meat. On the fourth day, the old woman offered Kat a place in her home. The woman's name was Sako, but insisted Kat simply refer to her as her grandmother. It was not uncommon for lonely souls to adopt a companion off the street in the Rukon. Most families in the Soul Society form this way. Kat kept the house clean, fetched groceries, and tended to her 'grandmother's' other needs around the house. Katsumi was never ungrateful.
80 years after Katsumi had arrived in the Soul Society, man from Squad 4 came to her district and healed a man. It took only a short conversation before Katsumi knew that she wanted to become a shinigami. Kat's spiritual energy had developed keenly and was becoming strong. She was able to project her reiatsu with a very capable degree of control. Her grandmother had passed many years before. Katsumi was determined to become a shinigami. Academy, Gotei 13
Katsumi enrolled in the medical program in the Shino academy, she felt like Squad 4 was a natural fit. She was a diligent student, never the top of her class, but still passed with high grades. The medical program at Shino was a bit of a shock for an early 20th century trained nurse. Everything was new to her, overwhelming were the medical discoveries since her death. Almost everything she knew was somehow wrong, or. It was not a simple task for Kat, but she squeezed through and joined the Fourth Squad as a professional physician.
In the academy she learned modern Shinigami medical practices and achieved one of her most important lifetime ambitions: to be receive the designation of Medical Doctor. Katsumi specialized with internal medicine, becoming an expert of ailments both severe and unusual. She would not boast, however she is quite capable in her field due to her knowledge and the powers of Inari. Today her duties consist mostly of healing wounded shinigami, assisting relief teams, and tackling the strangest cases that come into Squad 4's hospital. On her free time she often goes to the Rukon, offering her healing powers to whomever may need them.

[B]SERIES NAME CAPS[/b] - [i]fc name lowercase[/i] – @username
Name: Hadō #33 Sōkatsui (Blue Fire, Crash Down) Class: Kido Tier: III Type: Offensive Range: Long (70m) Incantation: Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, Upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws! Description: Fires a burst of blue spiritual energy at a target in a similar manner to Shakkahō at x10 Cero Speed, but over a wider area and with more power.
BAKUDO
Name: Bakudo #1 Sai (Restrain) * Class: Kido Type: Binding Tier: II Range: 10 Meters Incantation: Unknown Description: Locks a target's arms in place behind their back.
HEALING
Name: Keikatsu (Opening Revival) * Class: Kido Tier: II - VI Type: Healing Range: <5 Meters Incantation: Unknown Description: A simple healing spell used to heal injuries. Costing Reiatsu depending on the wound, this Kidou surrounds the target in a flash of green light, before starting to heal their injuries. Some internal injuries can be healed, while injuries like cuts in the heart cannot. This technique cannot heal poisons and other ailments.
Name: Meiyu (Luminous Healing) * Class: Kido Type: Healing Tier: II - VI Range: 10 Meter Radius Incantation: Unknown Description: Taking the idea of Keikatsu, Meiyu is another healing technique that functions on an area of effect. This is able to heal up to five people around the caster. The restrictions, costs and durations for healing are the same as Keikatsu, but for each person that is within the area, the cost is not spread over everyone but for each person that needs healing. Thus this is a technique that saves time for healing multiple people, adding a total of 2 posts to each duration for each person.
Name: Ryodo #15 Shiguremino (時雨蓑, Rainshower Coat) Class: Kido. Tier: II Range: 15 Meters Type: Healing. Incantation: A gentle rain calls forth autumn straw. Sprout and surround. Description: Creates a thin barrier of green reiatsu around a target. While within the coat, the target's wounds and vitals are numbed and fixed at a stable level, allowing transportation without risk of further injury. However, this kido does not heal or restrain them: that would require use of other techniques.
Name: Ryodo #30: Tamashii Nuime (soul stitching) Class: Kido Tier: III Range: self Type: Healing Incantation: N/A Description: Coating ones reiatsu into their palm, the energy can then be used to stitch the bonds of spiritual entities limbs back together. It causes immense pain to the injured one. The downside is that any limb stitched back must be rested for four posted and not be used in an active manner.
Eishōhaki (詠唱破棄, "Incantation Abandonment"): is the skill in which a Kidō practitioner skips using a spoken incantation completely, but it drastically weakens the spell. This is applied as a 1-2 tier drop in the spells power depending on ones Kidou mastery, 2 for Beginner up to Advanced, and 1 for Mastered and above. However this also lowers the spells cooldown to match the lowered tier, to a minimum of Tier I.e.g A Tier IV Kidou be cast with Eishohaki as a tier II, its cooldown will also be the same at 0 posts.
BATTLE SKILLS

REIATSU FEATURES
Katsumi's reiatsu is rarely ever seen, however not because it is weak. Her reiatsu is quite potent though its combat potential is almost on purpose, rarely utilized. Kat will attest, however, that it is white, and it seems to refract the light around her like a glass prism might project the colours of the visible spectrum.
ZANPAKUTOU
Inari
Healing/Support
"Rouse"
SEALED FORM
Inari in its sealed state is a normal katana. The blade has a long notch laid into the steel that extends its length. The hilt is white, and the sword's guard is a flat circle. Its scabbard is also white, and Kat wears the sword on her belt though its usually hidden beneath her white coat.
SPIRIT APPEARANCE
Inari assumes the form of a pure white male lion, with a thick and flowing mane, piercing yellow eyes, standing proudly beside his master, rearing for battle. Or he would be, if he wasn't asleep all the time.
SPIRIT PERSONALITY
Inari, though a proud and powerful lion, is hardly king of the jungle. Inari is quiet and dozy, most often found sleeping beneath the green oak tree in Kat's inner world. He is much alike to his master, though neither would admit the fact. Inari is very kind and supportive of Katsumi, whenever Kat comes along, depressed or defeated, Inari always is there to pick her back up, with either an ass-kicking or a few kind words.
INNER WORLD
Inari's sleepy home is a field of endless green grass and blue skies. A single tree stands in the center providing the single dozing inhabitant of this world a comfortable shade to sleep under. This world is empty and still. The only blips of activity is the rousing of the single feline inhabitant when its master calls upon it. Katsumi makes visits to this quiet world as often as she can to train her body and spirit with guidance from Inari.
Katsumi ever lightly runs her hands along the length of her blade, holding her sword with its point up and close to her body. As she does this, the sword is enveloped by reiryoku. It slowly transforms into a 6ft long white staff with a long steel blade on its top, at its end a crystal orb surrounded by intertwined strands of wood budding from the staff. There is red wrapping near the blade, and some black wrapping along the shaft.
SHIKAI ABILITIES
Name: Tatchi (Touch) Class: Shikai Tier: II - IV Type: Healing Range: 75m Description: A strand of spiritual energy extends from Katsumi's body, usually her staff or her hand, to heal targets at a distance. This is Katsumi's bread and butter healing ability. This is the one she is most often seen using in her day to work in Squad 4. She can heal herself, heal someone right next to her, or heal a comrade in battle. The maximum distance for this technique is 75m beyond which it is simply cut off.
What makes Inari's power truly effective for a doctor like Katsumi is how versatile its healing effect is. It heals cuts, broken bones, bruises, and other injuries rather efficiently. Inari also heals a wide range of medical ailments, such as infectious diseases, cancers, bacterial infections, minor things like migraines and simple pain. Inari can heal almost anything so long as Katsumi knows what it is she needs to heal. Naturally some things are more complicated, requiring more time and energy to heal, or require lengthy diagnostics. Some afflictions are still beyond Inari's power to heal. It can only dull the symptoms temporarily.
Name: Bokkusu (Box) Class: Shikai Tier: IV Type: Healing Range: Max size 25x25m Description: Planting her staff into the ground erects a large rectangular or cube shaped barrier around Katsumi, with a maximum size of 25x25 meters. The barrier can block attacks at or below its tier. Anyone inside the box barrier will receive a healing effect. The barrier takes a post and significant concentration to prepare, and lasts for 8 posts, upon which a 2 post cool-down is triggered. No other techniques may be used while this one is active. As well, this technique can only be used three times in a single combat thread.
Name: Kyozetsu (Rejection) Class: Shikai Tier: IV Type: Defensive Range: Person Description: A simple barrier that instantly deploys in a convex shape at the tips of Katsumi's fingers or off the point of her staff. It blocks a single attack at or below Tier IV.
Name: Hakai (Destruction) Class: Shikai Tier: IV Type: Offensive Range: 50m Description: Cast from the edge of Kat's blade, a crescent beam of reiryoku that cuts its target as if sliced by the heavy swing of a sword.
