H. Where is their favourite place to be? (both muses if that's okay?)

addendum: (in regards to my last ask that said "both muses", I need to correct, I meant all 3 Bleach muses, if that's okay? Sorry I typed too fast and didn't realize it wasn't complete.) Random Character Development

For Sasakibe, the place he's meant to be, the place he always wants to be, is by his captain's side, wherever that may be.

...England is, of course, a close second. But his trips to the area are too few and far between for him to have a particular place, as the human world changes drastically, quickly.

For Geoferd, his favorite place to be is likely a tie between the library and the cathedral in his hometown. The library is more of a personal choice, as he feels that's where he belongs, and where he can make the biggest difference, while the cathedral is simply a meaningful location to his culture.

Futsuku personally prefers the simplistic peace of the gardens at his home. While the chambers are nice, they also get very stuffy very quickly, and it's given him a greater appreciation of simple fresh air.

Despite being created in 2013, Geoferd and The Spirit King have never really had a detailed history associated with them, as they were created as background characters meant to help usher a plot in an intended direction and never meant to carry it on their own.

This is why their bios are taking so long.

I’ll try to get up the vague information later tonight and fill in the history another time. I don’t think either of them have anything of particular note associated with them, but I’m remembering more and more about them as time goes on.

Geoferd Alder

I also encourage you to take a look at the introduction / headcanon page!

Name: Geoferd Alder Age: 42 Birthdate: March 12 Residence: Shutzestadt, Germany Job: Quincy Information Gatherer Gender: Cis Male Sexuality: Straight Height: 6’0” Weight: 210 lbs. Species: Human (Quincy)

APPEARANCE

Geoferd is a tall man with broad shoulders and dark skin.  His hair is usually kept very short and he has a scar on the left side of his face.  Sometimes he wears the traditional garb of the Quincy, but most times he can be found wearing semi-formal gear; usually a white shirt and slacks of some kind.  His Quincy cross is always found on his right hand. 

HISTORY

Geoferd was born in Shutzestadt, a small settlement in Germany where many of the still living Quincy reside.  His life was about as normal as a Quincy’s could be–he was trained by his parents, attended school, and lived a life of disposing of demons while learning as many secrets of the world as he can. 

He had an innate curiosity of the spiritual–of the Quincy, of the shinigami, of the demons and angels, of the techniques of the rituals…of the precious history that’s been lost to their kind.  

For many years, Geoferd worked as a librarian, collecting and classifying information in the Historical Library; the Quincy activities as a town funded by the crafts and other services the town offers to the non-spiritually aware folk.  Shutzestadt is considered a quaint if somewhat odd town with friendly people and interesting trinkets that can’t be found anywhere else.  It’s a common tourist destination for that reason–with the more spiritual activities hidden from view either through magic or the inherent nature of the forces at play.  

Before long, Geoferd was recommended by the Old Council to traverse the world–to take note of the Soul Reaper’s activities in the East and any other non-mundane activities he could find.  

He was primarily the one that documented the activities in Karakura, albeit with an outsider’s view and only occasional tips from inside informants.  His primary role is to observe, and he hardly ever steps directly into conflict, especially ones that don’t involve demons.  

To this day, he’s commonly following trails of supposed “paranormal activity,” knowing full well that most of them are hoaxes.  

But, when it turns out to be something else…  Well, that’s an interesting discovery to make, isn’t it?

PERSONALITY

For as stern as Geoferd commonly appears, he’s a soft guy internally, one dedicated to learning and teaching others.  Despite his bitterness over the war with Seireitei, he’s accepted that Quincies are not meant to destroy hollows and refuses to do so–or to destroy any being that may impact the balance. 

This is a hard rule he won’t cross–even if it means endangering himself and using himself as bait to distract a hollow until a soul reaper arrives and can send it on naturally. 

POWERS & ABILITIES

Like most Quincies, Geoferd was trained in the ancient art of their species.  He’s roughly on par with a fifth seat in the Gotei.  He is a Quincy that favors brute strength over technique, and while he is familiar with some of the other arts, more than likely he’s going to buckle down and shoot.

His bow is nothing fancy, a standard, solid-steel bow with lines of blue energy running down it. 

He is not a very fast person and can easily be overwhelmed by speed.    

MISC.

Quirks/Habits:  Geoferd appears as a very stern man who does not emote much.  Despite this, he’s rather soft inside, more than friendly and respectful, and, quite honestly, scares very easily.   Likes:  History, the Quincy Dislikes:  Being startled Alignment:  Neutral Good

Sexuality HCs for Pride Month!  

Weird Octopus:  Ah, what is sexuality to a little creachure that only exists to cause chaos?  Aromantic, but to be fair, if another of his kind did exist he probably would mate with it.  Beyond that, the creature has no concept of sexuality, gender, or societal expectations to speak of.

Gemuse Heinzmann:  Asexual, Biromantic.  Gemuse has always had a shaky relationship with sex, especially through high school where so many other boys felt obsessed with it and he felt ostracized.  To this day he’s gotten more comfortable with his own identity, but still finds the concept of sex nauseating.  That being said he can pretty easily be romanced by the right individual regardless of gender. 

Giothornéc Vannikthull the Vengeance:  Given that he’s a sentient sword, sex is a bit questionable and confusing to him.  Many of his interactions can come off as “flirty” when he’s just trying to be nice.  He doesn’t even know what a date is but it sounds exciting!

Futsuku Keohima:  Straight.  Though he does live in an outdated society where it’s the expectation, so perhaps that’s not surprising.

Geoferd Alder:  Straight.  He has a relatively low sex drive but not enough that he considers himself asexual.  Plus his culture puts a rather heavy demand on having children and continuing the traditions.

The Spirit King:  Straight.  The expectations of royalty make it hard for him to imagine being anything but.

General of the Cross:  Asexual Aromantic.  He’s just not interested.  Unlike Gemuse, he’s not bothered by the idea of sex, he just doesn’t care.

Giovanni Marianelle:  Bisexual.  It took him until relatively late in life to realize and accept this.  In many cases he prefers to seem straight just to keep up appearances--this is especially true in modern verses where the Mafia has been suspected to kill off members that are explicitly homosexual.  

Lieutenant Surge: Straight.  It’s just part of the military shtick he’s based on.

Iroh:  Straight.  Sorry fans, he just loves his women too much for me to imagine him as anything but.  Plus the whole homosexuality being illegal in the Fire Nation--

Ozai:  Asexual Aromantic. Unlike both Gemuse and the General of the Cross, Ozai will have sex for enjoyment but it’s really, really, not his primary interest.

John Wick:  Straight.  

Quentin Beck and Major Beck:  Demisexual.  But they consider themselves straight.
