Personality:
People think the 4th Division is made up of scrawny guys and cute nurses. People who can't fight. People who, frankly, don't look like they could kick your ass. Then Seiji walks into the room. He towers over most people in the 4th, and he always keeps "acceptable scruff." He's broad (and hairy) chested. When you see him first, usually people think he's super serious. Anyone who knows him would laugh in your face. If you say "damn, I'm tired" near him, his reply is "Hi Tired, I'm Seiji." To copy something from someone else, if Midori Hayashi is the big sister of the Gotei, Lilith Antonovich is the mother of the Gotei, then Seiji Isobe is the dad of the Gotei.

Now, to amend that. Seiji will not want you to call him dad, see him as your dad, or anything of that sort. It doesn't matter how young the person is, he'll flat-out tell them he's not their dad and that he doesn't want to be seen as their dad. They can see him as a friend or a cool uncle or something, but never call him dad. The reason he's seen as the dad of the Gotei is because he does "dad things." Bad jokes, barbeque, and home improvement are his specialties outside of work. He drinks beer, walks around in his underwear in his barracks, and knows just enough about women to know he'll never fully understand them.

Character Background:
Seiji was born into a minor noble house. The Isobe family works with medical treatment, and they have helped the 4th Division many times. In fact, one of the former heads of the Isobe family was the Captain of the 4th about 1500 years ago. If a Shinigami comes out of the Isobe, it is tradition that they go into the 4th. Seiji was the first Shinigami from the Isobe in 500 years. After his first hundred years of training as a doctor and in Zōdō and an extra fifty "personal" years, Seiji was allowed to enter the Shino Academy. He nearly flunked out, but his family ties and Seiji's niceness got him through. It was once he was in the 4th Division that he began to really shine. When he was actually able to work on patients, his real skill came out. Seiji was able to give the Gotei 13 something they had lacked in nearly half a millenium—prosthetics. Although he hung out with people and seemed like a fatherly people, he got really irate when people called him dad, especially from younger Shinigami. He never explained his reasons why, but he never once let it happen without getting annoyed.


Unreleased Abilities:
Kaidō: As a member of the 4th Division, Seiji was trained in Kaidō. He may be nowhere near the best, but as a higher-ranked member he is still damn good with it.
Zanjutsu: Seiji is good with Zanjutsu, although he prefers strikes with the flat of his sword.
Hakuda: Seiji isn't too good with Hakuda. However, he is good with hand-to-hand. Hakuda, the skill, is not what he is good with.
Kidō: Seiji's second-worst skill. He is below average for a lieutenant.
Hohō: Seiji's worst skill. He is below average for a lieutenant.
Zōdō: Zōdō is a unique skill to the Isobe line. It is akin to a fusion of Kaidō and Reiraku. However, it is nowhere near that simple. Zōdō is the creation of artificial limbs that allow use of reiryoku through the artificial limbs. These are highly complex creations that take quite a time to craft.
First aid: Seiji is a damn good traditional doctor, meaning if someone needs to go under the knife Seiji is definitely the 2nd-best in the Gotei.
Other Weapons: None

Shikai Name: Nagei Yanagi (嘆い柳; Lamenting Willow)
Shikai Appearance: Nagei Yanagi takes the appearance of a large wooden staff. It has a multi-colored gem at one end.

Shikai Abilities: Nagei Yanagi takes some time to really ramp up to use his most powerful abilities. While ramping up, the length of the staff will slowly grow green vines with flower buds across it. It can grow small trees and plants each time it impacts a surface. They do not disappear when the Shikai is sealed. However, they don't have much of a combat use. When it is done ramping up, the flowers will begin to blossom along the length of the staff. With the command "bloom," the gem breaks apart and spreads spores across the area. The spores are poisonous and standing in the cloud for too long will cause someone to fall asleep. It usually takes standing in the cloud for about twenty seconds to fall asleep. However, drowsiness happens almost immediately. The cloud's size depends on how long he lets it ramp up. At maximum, the cloud is about 100 yards large in any direction.
