1. What are your character's basic stats?
Kurosaki Hisoka
Age: physically 16, mentally 18
Gender: Male
Height: Unknown, but a little shorter than average, I'd say. He's shorter than all the males in his canon, but they're also older than him. He's about the same height as or slightly taller than the girls.
Weight: No idea, but he's scrawny.
Birthdate: 10/18/1980 (canon is set in about 1998)
Blood Type: AB
Occupation: Shinigami
2. Canon explanation stuff:
From app: Hisoka had a rather shitty childhood: when his old-fashioned parents found out that he was an empath (capable of reading people's emotions and occasionally their thoughts and memories), they called him a monster and locked him in the basement. Then, when he was 13, he was raped and cursed to die a slow, painful death by Muraki, all for having the bad timing to witness Muraki murdering someone. When he finally died at 16, Hisoka became a Shinigami.
Shinigami are ex-dead people who travel freely between the world of the living and the dead in order to bring dead people's souls to trial. They're also in charge of investigating mysterious deaths aka murders. Basically, they're kind of like the Grim Reapers from Dead Like Me except more magical, angstier, and you know, gayer. As a Shinigami, Hisoka gains the ability to fly, use ofuda magic, and to heal quickly. He also acquires a somewhat scatterbrained partner named Tsuzuki (who he really cares about, honest. The bitching is just his way of showing his love), but that's neither here nor there.
Hisoka is understandably bitter, sarcastic, and anti-social due to his past and the fact that his empathic powers mean he doesn't do well in crowds (touch amplifies his powers). However, even though he can be short-tempered, he has a kind heart, although he'd rather die again than admit that he cares. He's also fairly polite unless he doesn't like you, in which case he has a very foul mouth. Thus, he can be described as "bitter and well-bred snark with a squishy creme filling."
(App note: Hisoka can also "synchronize" with people, usually by touching them. This can cause him to share their mind and/or powers, although it usually overwhelms him.)
Theria.net has good general canon information, as well as translations of the manga!
3. What skills or powers does your character have? In particular, list any skills or powers that could be used in a combat situation.
I wrote a post about his powers shortly after he arrived at camp here, which goes over his powers as well as the ones a regular Shinigami has. Hooray.
4. Quick List of Friends and Foes.
Relationship meme goes here. It's a little out of date, but most of the relationships there still apply.
The lazy list goes something like this:
Tsuzuki > everyone, although he's fond of some other people
...what? >> But really, if he's spoken to you for more than a few comments (wry Rin wry), he's at the very least neutral toward you and probably leaning toward like. If he snarks or angsts at you, you're higher on the list. If he's smiled at you (all two of you), you win. But you still don't beat Tsuzuki.
If you have any questions because I wrote this very quickly, feel free to ask~
