(Aura is just basically a fancy term to describe what a characters soul looks like and what colors it gives off!)
Family and friends meant everything toward the wildcat. He would be more than likely to protect those that he cared about than the likes of a new clan. He didn't have anyone that he cared about in Sunhaven yet, and the oversized cougar wasn't exactly sure how long he had planned on staying in the first place. He had a habit of moving from one place to the next, which was well known for upsetting those that he did know. But what choice did he have? He was basically a walking talking curse with the spiritual energy that was leaking outside of his body constantly. It attracted a lot of attention, and attention that almost always got him severely injured, or severely injured someone that was close to him. Most that knew him didn't really care about the dangers while he was constantly in stress whether or not he should stay around them or simply just leave. He was never the type to share his problem with anyone else that he came across. Why should he? He was more than capable of shouldering his own issues, and that was exactly what he did. And it was exactly what had almost got him killed in the process as well. He knew at some point that he couldn't do everything alone and would have to ask for the help of others. A rare occurrence that was for sure. Few animals actually knew the secrets of what he was compared to the rest of the animals that didn't have a supernatural background. The Shinigami made sure no one knew the secret of what he was because it was a threat to those that knew. The organization wasn't exactly a fan of figuring out that mortals knew about the afterlife and what controlled it. It was against the traditional rules that were set a long time ago to remain in secret and not get involved with mortal affairs all that much.
Ichigo wasn't a full Death God though, and instead he was half mortal and half Death God. Giving him two paws in different realms and worlds at the same time. All thanks to his mother and father, as he knew now that his father was a Shinigami like himself. He didn't know what his mom was, as he just believed her to be a regular mortal all things considered. There were instances that so-called 'gods' were able to figure out that he was somewhat like him. Everyone had their own idea of what the afterlife consisted of. Having traveled there himself as his job, he knew hat the afterlife looked like and it was his job to make sure spirits and ghosts were allowed to travel to the afterlife before they turned into something threatening. Ichigo didn't believe in immortal Gods, and he definitely didn't have a God complex thinking that he was higher than everyone else. One of the reasons why he was never fan of being leader was that everyone addressed him in a formal manner and it just felt wrong to him. He never knew how to react to that, and always spoke in a casual manner instead of being extremely formal. That wasn't the way he did things. It was also one of the things that the older Shinigaimi's didn't appreciate when he didn't address them with the appropriate suffix in their name. The cougar didn't care though, as they were going to have to torture him to change his mind. Either way, the few that had gotten the chance to know what he was didn't seem to last that very long. He knew it was a bad idea when everyone he was telling his secret to would eventually die in the next couple of months. The first one was Constantine, his niece. She wasn't really his niece though, as the domestic cat was part of the adopted family that he had been adopted into.
She contracted a bout of cancer that would eventually kill her and he would never see her return. As a Shinigami, it was a life-changing moment as there was nothing in his powers that he could do to help her. He was mortal and his powers were limited to that of spirits. The young female had been concerned about how injured he would always end up getting from the job that he was in. It was there that he vaguely explained what he did and why it was extremely important he did it to keep others safe. The Shinigami had to watch as Constantine died in his arms, the first family member he had lost in the clans other than the death of his mother when he was just a cub. The next one to learn was Silverstrike, one of his best friends. She was the first one in the group to create a bond with Ichigo, and eventually, she became a Shinigami herself. However, he had yet to see her in the span of four years and had to assume the worst for his great friend. His adopted sister, who he just considered to be his sister, Harrierbeat, learned next. She was extremely headstrong and stubborn, but that's what Ichigo needed when he had the habit of lying through his teeth. Harrierbeat had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and eventually she came across a corrupted spirit that tried to kill her and he had no choice but to explain to her what it was and what he was since she wouldn't take no for an answer. Cactusbloom was an extremely close friend in a clan that was mostly water. They became friends due to the fact that the female had taught Ichigo to swim in the river that was there. He wasn't great at it, but that was before he had any of his armor. Cactusbloom became just like him, only to die in the clan that she loved, and Ichigo only finding out by listening into the conversations in the clan while he wasn't there.
His two best friends came next, O'Fraiser and Cambrian. The two didn't know anything about what he was from the beginning, but thanks to both of them growing closer together, they were eventually going to find out. O'Fraiser was dragged into it with the damn mask that he had found that was actually a mask that belonged to a corrupted spirit and a fight ensued later. Ichigo had no choice but to tell the strawberry leopard what he was. Cambrian as well was dragged into it as well when he was infected with a corrupted spirit and the only way to save his life was to turn him into a Shinigami. It wasn't an easy choice to make and there were several other issues that came with it. Both of them died in close intervals to each other. Everyone died. So was life. But he just wished at least once that he wouldn't have to go through the tragedy anymore, especially after the most recent tragedy of his adopted daughter died in front of him a year ago. A memory that he still wasn't over with yet. The list goes on and on of those that he cared for slowly disappear from him. As far as Ichigo knew, he was the last one of his family and that there were no longer any connections to him. His own children were killed after all. The oversized cougar had kept his enhanced senses on as he listened to the crunching of sand as he heard small pawsteps coming over to him. His bi-colored eyes turned in attention to a domestic cat that was walking toward him, Ichigo's clairvoyance turning on to inspect the other's aura and soul. This animal was certainly one, but the edges of the aura seemed to explode out in several different manners before coming to relax again. This probably meant that the other had some sort of strong temper. It was far easier for Ichigo to remember aura's of those that he meant than trying to remember their name.
The swordsman wasn't here to try and intimidate anyone, and he was glad that the domestic cat wasn't afraid of him. Ichigo raised one of his black and tawny paws and seemed to almost wave at the smaller male. "Yo. I'm Kurosaki Ichigo. I just arrived in this area, and have no idea about any of the clans so I'm going around visiting them so I'm not walking around blindly. Was wondering if you would be able to tell me what this place is and what's it about?" It was true. He was only curious about what group lived here and what kind of group they were. He wasn't here to cause any trouble, which probably would be somewhat apparent with his body language. The Shinigami's attention soon drifted when he noticed that there was a shadow on the ground. A massive one. His head immediately looked up just as the large form of a dragon came down onto the ground, Ichigo immediately making the stance of standing up. He didn't know if this group was friendly or the aggressive type. He was a stranger to them after all. It was when the dragon landed and he was allowed to see the other's spiritual presence, that his senses with flooded with a sense of familiarity. He knew this guy. He knew this guy way back in the day before he had the form of a dragon and a year ago when he had accidentally teleported himself to the clan that he was in. Ichigo couldn't help but let his jaw drop in surprise as this was the last guy he was expected to see right now. Ichigo knew that he was right when he recognized the soul that was inside of the dragon and when he spoke. A soul that was centered around one area, shadows branching off of each end and some forms of it taking the shape of crystals. At the same time, the shadowed edges tapered off into red edges as well.
"Lucifer? I certainly wasn't expecting to see you here. What are you doing here?" A small feeling of happiness just to see a familiar face that wasn't in the grave. Of course, the question he asked seemed to be a stupid once, as it was obvious that the other lived here. There was surprise expressed in his eyes as he looked between the domestic cat and Lucifer. They did both know each other, not on a personal level. Ichigo did know that Lucifer wasn't exactly the most normal guy out there, and the other probably knew that he was a Shinigami as well. Ichigo was so confused as to why Lucifer was here now that he had almost missed the presence of a small catsune. Ichigo knew what they were, and that finding them was somewhat difficult as they were usually centered around one clan. It wasn't her appearance that caught him off guard, but instead the familiar soul that radiated from inside of the small animal. Neon blue flames expanded well beyond her body before shrinking back to the normal size of a soul, flecks of green shredding off the edges of her soul before disappearing, probably absorbed back in her soul. At first, the Shinigami was shocked. He never forgot a soul that he came into contact with. He starred for a moment while he was standing up, a mixture of feelings starting to bubble up in his chest.
It was only when Techno bounced off of his chest that he came back to reality, Techno calling out the abbreviated portion of his name. Ichigo wasted no time and aimed to scoop Techno up into his arm and bury his face into the crook of her neck. He made sure not to crush her due to her small size, but relief fell across his body. He wasn't alone anymore. One of his nieces was alive. Littlestar's daughter. "Techno! My god I thought I had lost you!" Ichigo said in a worried and shocked tone, almost to the point where it sounded like he was to the point of crying. His daughter was dead, and he had been fairly certain that Techo both hated him and feared him for the experiences that he had gone through. She had left the clan that they were in to go into a group that tortured children and killed anyone they didn't want at the border. It broke his heart, but he still loved her and wanted to be there for her. He would make sure to constantly visit and try to bring her back. He couldn't fathom the idea of losing her as well. It would be there that he would lean his head back and look at her. She looked healthy, and the scars were still there. He couldn't see any new scars at least from the angle that he was at, and that was good. "Techno, how did you get here? Are you okay? Do you know where your brothers and sisters are?" Ichigo questioned with obvious concern. Had she been alone this entire time?!
