Appearance:
Personality:
Yusuke has spent much of his lift dedicated towards the pursuit of science. His views on the world are governed by his experiments. Every event in his life is seen as an opportunity to bring out the latent potential in things. This makes him prone to swooping down upon unsuspecting owners of some new power in the living world. He always has some new training method in mind and uses them on these kindred spirits to make their strengths shine. He usually approaches these people like a businessman. He uses his silver tongue to close a deal, power in exchange for a favor. He is quick to call in a favor, often having on in mind before he even offers the deal in the first place. But despite having an agenda, he generally acts benevolent. Surprisingly, this sense of trustworthiness is genuine. He does not take advantage of others for personal gain and is always doing so for the "greater good" of the world of the living and seireitei alike. It is because of his determination to help protect these realms that he focuses most of his industrious mind towards developing ways to give others strength. But that is not all that Yusuke tinkers with in his mind. It was his desire for a peace between shinigami and quincy that led to his development of the Reishoutama.
While in combat, Yusuke changes his demeanor depending on the nature of the battle. If he is training someone he will actually be more aggressive than usual. Adopting the philosophy, "In battle, one must be prepared to face death." He drills relentlessly violent blows absolutely oozing with killing intent. Fights where he must defeat an opponent are generally avoided. If he is forced to fight a real enemy, he may just buy time and stall them for a while before running. But assuming he had no choice but to go all out for a quick victory, he still does not suddenly become more violent. Instead, Yusuke shows the demeanor of a true master and remains completely calm. He observes his opponent and looks for flaws or weaknesses before striking out at them with fast and precise blows. He is not below using his extensive knowledge in kidou to turn the tides of a battle.
It isn't often that you find Yusuke away from experimenting or training. But when you do, you'll find him sleeping somewhere or enjoying a brief respite with his comrades. He keeps a cheerful outlook and generally gets along well with most people. He has a noble atmosphere about his presence and is almost always a gentleman. While he's been known to swoon the hearts of some females, he has never actually been with a woman. Although there are rumors as to "experiments" he's conducted on female guests without their knowledge. Because of this, most women around Yusuke who know him will immediately warn new women that he is a lecherous pervert whom can't be trusted even if that isn't truly the case. Yusuke takes this kind of treatment in stride however and tends to just laugh it off.
Intended Role: An "Urahara" for Bleach Story. Yusuke will be at the center of many events taking place in the world of the living and is often one of the first NPCs someone int he world of the living will make contact with. He is the local source for spiritual items such as gigai and tends to get involved in things. He never really gets his hands dirty fixing problems directly and tends to use other people towards that end. Generally if he is training you, it's so he can send you on a mission to go clean up some mess in the living world.
Inventions:
Item name: Doll Summoning Grimoire
Description: An ancient looking text. It was the original document which teaches a bount how to summon their dolls. He has since distributed copies to all the bount clans so that they may be self sufficient. But he has the original copy and has kept possession of it since the creation of the bounts.
Effect: It contains information that can teach a bount how to summon their doll. The ceremony is useless for anyone other than a bount.
Number of it you have/possible/allowed: 1
History: This book was created when the Bount were first created. It is hand written by Yusuke and took 3 days of work to complete. An impressive time span which would not have been possible if not for Yusuke's extensive work in his research on shinigami powers.
Item name: Reishoutama (Soul Crystal Ball)
Description:

Effect: This device catches and stores the reishi of a recently defeated hollow. It can then be contained there indefinitely until a shinigami can destroy it. This will have the same effect as if a shinigami gave the killing blow on the hollow purifying it. This has allowed the Quincy, Bounts, and Fullbringers in the world of the living to operate and defeat hollows without destroying the balance.
The ball will work on any defeated hollow within an impressive 1km radius. The total number of hollows a single crystal can store is 100. Then it must be purified by a shinigami before it can be used further. This means that menos class hollows and above might not be able to be fully sealed with a single crystal alone.
Number of it you have/possible/allowed: Mass Produced - Can distribute one to people IC freely so long as they are at his lab. Away from his lab, he may posses up to five.
History: During the initial part of Yusuke's exile, he and the bount were being hunted relentlessly for the threat they posed to the balance. At the same time the conflict with the Quincy was just starting to heat up. However during the eve of the dark hour war was to break out, Yusuke developed the Reishoutama. It was used as a method for there to be peace. In reward for the lives he had saved, Central 46 was convinced to rescind the execution orders and establish a truce between the races. However his status of being exiled and forbidden to return to seireitei remains.
