Character: Aizen Sosuke
Age: Undetermined but he looks in his early 30s he’s probably around 300+ years old however.
Canon: Bleach
Canon Point: Just after chapter 395
Background: Here!
Personality:

Aizen for all intents and purposes is a manipulator. There’s not much he wouldn’t forsake to justify his own means whether it be killing someone supposedly close to him like Ichimaru Gin or even his own lieutenant Hinamori Momo. He is, however, not solely reliant on those he uses but it does make his goal easier to reach. He only finds worth in a person who he can see true potential in, for example Ichigo Kurosaki, whose entire life was apparently planned from the beginning by Aizen himself or so he claims. The thing about Aizen is that he likes to manipulate the emotions of those who are against him and not just that, he has a multitude of ways of getting under a person’s skin and breaking through their defenses. In terms of fighting Aizen never really lets on how much power he truly has. Like with most things he is calm and collected in the midst of battle, despite the odds being highly against him. Having proclaimed that he fears nothing Aizen rarely ever shows fear towards anything, possibly also because he can comprehend or understand everyone’s power that he faces. The one time he does get enraged is when Ichigo shows his “new” form and this is because he cannot comprehend how a mere human could surpass his power. Aizen never acts brash and will for the most part infuriate his enemies with small talk amidst a battle with them. In general his demeaning and otherwise pompous talk makes him infuriating to talk to.

Aizen has a mastery and knowledge over objects and science that far surpass most people in Soul Society and with it he created a deadly weapon known as the Hōgyoku. It is because of his intelligence that he seeks out to be the ruler of heaven. In his failed transformation Aizen is shown to have a very deep seated resentment towards Urahara Kisuke. He asks Urahara why he squanders and wastes his intelligence by living under the rules set by a being who the shinigami have never even seen nor apparently does it care for the shinigamis well being. Aizen wishes to take the throne for himself, because he sees his own amazing intellect as a good enough justifiable reason to do so and also he figures he can craft a better future which he can rule via fear and his unhindered ambition.

Aizen can also be described as a keen and very well skilled strategist. For a majority of his history Aizen is nothing more than an enigma and not many people knew of his true intentions or reasoning behind his goal to kill the king of Soul Society. This is made apparent by the fact that for centuries Aizen has crafted a façade which completely drew attention away from his otherwise sinister nature for most of his time in Soul Society. The only person to date who was able to out maneuver him and possibly knew of his true intentions is Gin Ichimaru and on some levels Urahara Kisuke, hence the resentment he holds for Urahara to some degree.

While in Soul Society Aizen showed his subordinates a kindness and compassion that was almost fatherly on some levels; coupled with his lecture of calligraphy at the Shinigami Academy this gave him a huge following with the students there, as it was very popular, and many students were saddened by Aizen’s leaving Soul Society. In his soul society façade he had a strong sense of morality and tried to do the right thing. But in truth he views both things as nothing but a weakness which one should expel from themselves completely if they wish to reach their true potential. Aizen will for the most part take on his Soul Society persona when around those he finds useful and capable of being manipulated. He finds that by gaining the admiration of people he can delude and use them for his own personal agenda like he did with Hinamori Momo. Comparatively Aizen ruled the Espada in Hueco Mundo through a varying degree of fear and earned respect. Espada being formed by creatures who feed off of fear, aka Hollows, found that because Aizen lacked such an emotion, that he was truly powerful if not interesting and followed under him willingly.

Aizen is also very arrogant; he sees all those below him, especially humans, as ants and when he finally reaches Karakura Town he has to forcibly control his reiatsu so he doesn’t kill the “ants”, which he is referring to Renji as, that are in his way. This line of thought can be attributed to his obvious disinterest in most people in canon. He also has a seemingly odd and detached thought process when it comes to other shinigami. He doesn’t care about them and frankly he turns on them and tries to kill most of them. He wants to rule over them because he believes he alone, with his superior knowledge and might, is the rightful person to do so. His thoughts on hollows and arrancar are much the same in that he merely uses them to justify his own means, like turning a hollow into an incomplete Espada known as Wonderweiss. He justifies that giving a hollowfied soul a meaning and purpose, besides hunting down other souls, is not cruel when in fact it really is. Aizen shows the vaguest of interest for most people he fights and hardly ever considers them to be much of a threat. However in terms of Ichigo he finds the boy to be extremely interesting and Aizen almost has a fixation on him because he feels that Ichigo is someone that cannot be easily comprehended as Ichigo is a human, shinigami, hollow hybrid. That alone makes Aizen feel that they are almost alike in some ways because Aizen himself has always been feared due to his outlandish power.

Aizen has a disinterested sort of air about him when it comes to people he can no longer use, Inoue Orihime for example was cast aside after he examined her powers. Even his own creations, the Espada, when they outran their use he simply killed the remaining ones despite the connection and supposed bonds he had with many of them, which of course, turned out to be another ruses developed by Aizen to gain their admiration and trust. Harribel, an Espada, was cut down by Aizen’s blade and afterwards he simply went on with his plans with no remorse whatsoever for what he had just done.

Abilities:

❶ Immense Strength: Aizen can stop captain level bankais (the strongest form a sword can take in canon) and lieutenant level shikais with his bare hands. He has also been shown to know just where to cut to disarm and disable other zanpaktou shikais, for example cutting Renji’s shikai in such a way that it completely shattered. He was also able to cut down four captains, two of which were using their bankais, by himself.

❷ Immense Spiritual Power: Aizen’s own reiatsu has been said to be overwhelming an example is that he can nullify abilities of another captain level shinigami and he brought the sixth espada, who is also known to be extremely powerful, to his knees.

❸ Shunpo Master: Shunpo is an ability that can cause a shinigami to move faster than the eye can see. Aizen has mastered it to such a level that most people don’t even register he has attacked them until a few seconds after the fact.

❹ Hand to hand combat: Aizen has repeatedly shown that he is capable of fighting without even using his sword. He’s stopped people’s blades with his bare hands, lending to his immense strength. He is extremely dexterous and is able to overwhelm his opponents without breaking much of a sweat.

❺ Kido master: He has mastery over Kido, which is a type of spell that uses an incantation to work. Aizen however can use them without saying their incantations and he can use the highest levels 90 and above without incantations as well.

Aizen’s high intellect and relentless mind are also another powerful ability of his. He’s able to manipulate almost anyone he’s come in contact with and through various ways. Whether it be emotional, physical, or simply acting like he cares about the other person. He is amazingly cunning and crafty. He’s also a master tactician almost always turning the battle to suit his favor and never once being caught off guard. For example he was able to figure out Shinji Hirako’s shikai ability’s true nature, conclude it creates optical illusions and then was able to counter its effects all in the span of a few seconds. There have been instances of when Aizen has been caught off guard but Aizen usually turns the tide in his favor soon after the fact. Aizen also has shown us that he is very well versed in the history, strategy, tactics of the Soul Society, and is shown to have knowledge previously unknown to many.

Aizen has a sword known as a zanpakto, Kyouka Suigetsu, which has its own abilities to note:

The most important and prominent of them is Kanzen Saimin aka absolute hypnosis.It controls the five senses to the point where it can make the target misinterpret another person's form, shape, mass, feel, and smell to be an enemy's. The absolute and most important condition for the hypnosis to take affect is for the enemy to see Kyōka Suigetsu at the exact moment it is released by the words, scatter, which is its release command. Upon seeing it just once, this person will be under the swords power for an indefinite amount of time or when Aizen turns off the hypnosis by force of will. The absolute hypnosis is, for lack of better words, absolute and its flawless as well. Even if the target is aware of being under the hypnosis, they can’t resist its influence. However despite the sheer power of Kyoka Suigetsu the sword does have its weaknesses.

Obviously if the person is blind then they are completely able to negate and be unaffected by its powers. Also those who are astute and quite powerful will notice differences in the illusions, even if they are unable to break them. The final and biggest flaw is if the blade is touched before absolute hypnosis is initiated then that person will remain unaffected by its powers forever regardless of how many times Aizen uses it on them.

Alignment:

Piphron. I’m choosing this as his alignment because it’s very well known that Aizen hardly trusts anyone, let alone allows himself to open up to people. However the one person he does have an immeasurable amount of trust in is his second in command, Gin Ichimaru. But even with Gin he killed the other man without a seconds thought, despite all that he went through with him. It’s because his distrust of people and his closed off nature being a prominent part of him that Piphron seems like a good fit for him.

Also Aizen never seemed to fit into Soul Society to being with. His immeasurable power and sharp intellect is abnormal even for shinigami. This is the main root of his loneliness and in trying to find a worthy adversary to be his equal. Given that it's easy to see why he was so closed off and trusted no one, making Piphron a good alignment for him.

General Sample:

He has been here for at least a month now. A month so far and no one suspects a thing. It’s rather amusing how easily one can win over the hearts of many. Admiration truly is the furthest from understanding. If he could manipulate their perception enough, not even the arrival of anyone from Soul Society will break his illusion. But the next topic being emotions. Trivial and useless things to have, and yet they grant a sort of power here that he could possibly wield with enough time.

But delving into something so utterly useless would be pointless to him now, given how strong he already was, he didn't need emotions and he certainly didn't care for them to begin with. But...manipulating others to use those emotions as tools for himself, now that is something he could devise towards doing. He was beyond them, most of them at least, some have proven to be…interesting, perhaps they could be easily toyed with. Perfect chess pieces to his little game, yes that notion makes him smile, because it would work. It always worked because he has been making and formulating plans since his arrival. If he could not control things on the outside of this world, then he could certainly control things from within until the moment finally came where everyone one of them outran their use.

Emotions or not, he would definitely like to see the state of this planet and where exactly it will go in the coming years. Perhaps he could attain his true purpose as a god here and start from there. After all there it will take quite some time to find a way off this planet, and he has all the time in the world to get started.
