Character's Rank: Captain
Appears to be _25ish_ years old
Is actually _200_ years old
Gender: female
Appearance:
Despite her rough personality, Hisame is a fairly attractive, slender woman who's feminine build hides a great amount of power. Standing at 5'10 she is tall and muscular, while also having the generous curving shape of a woman in her prime. Her eyes are a deep violet colour, she usually wears her hair up in a ponytail and her skin tone is darker, indicating many days spent under the sun. She wears the tattered captain's robe that is typical of the 11th division captain and keeps her uniform tied securely most of the time, although she does tend to allow the neck to hang open a bit too much.
Underneath her robes, Hisame wears bandages wound firmly around her limbs and torso for better support during battle.
Personality: Hisame has a rough personality. Many have a difficult time getting past the sarcasm, the lack of manners and blunt way in which she deals with others. She is in some aspects, very unlady-like and is known for her temper, swearing and getting into fights while out drinking. Despite this, Hisame can be a very appealing woman when she wants to be, but it isn't often that her fellows see her being such. (Unless a cute officer happens to come along..)
Beneath her harsh exterior, Hisame can be (in her own way) a kind person. She is usually willing to help out and usually complies with the orders given to her, although she tends to be lazy. ee
Bio: Hisame started life rough, growing up in the roughest parts of Rukongai. She'd always had to fight for her survival. Each day was a new labour, searching for food and other means of survival. One day, she decided to give it all up and left. She traveled throughout Rukongai, developing and using her hunting skills as well as her fighting skills to obtain food and other items essential to her survival. Although it was a meager existence, Hisame was all the richer for it as she enjoyed the daily grind of fighting and surviving. She became known as a ronin, or wandering samurai in Rukongai. She followed a code of honour and never stole, only took what she needed from her defeated opponents. The young woman would travel roadways and wander into villages, looking for sword fighters to challenge. The wager was that if she won, she could take whatever she needed from her opponents.
It was like this that she came across two shinigami. When she challenged them, they observed her elevated reiatsu and skill with a sword and she was eventually recruited into the Gotei 13.
Hisame started off in the shinigami academy. She knew from day one that she wanted to serve under Kenpachi Zaraki and worked towards this as her goal after graduating. True to her battle style, she had little to no skill with kidou and only barely managed to pass out of the academy on that. She did however, become very talented in shunpou and sword fighting.
During her years in the academy, she became acquainted with future Captain-Commander Kasuki Nichel. Between the two, they earned a reputation at the academy for frustrating professors and making mischief. Kasuki was the first lasting friend Hisame made.
As soon as she graduated, she was placed as an unseated officer in the 11th squad, really the only place she belonged, and slowly made her way up through the ranks.. It wasn't until much later, after the original captains and many of the higher seated officers had been killed in the Arrancar War, that she was nominated for captain of the squad. Hisame accepted her new position with much honour and pledged to keep the squad strong in order to carry on the legacy of her captain.

Shikai attacks:
Moushou: In shikai, Moushou, the katana, becomes a halberd. It's wide tip with serated and hooked edge serves to puncture a lethal wound into the enemy that is deep and wide. Its mid-section (the pole) is made of dense hardwood and fortified so it makes a good deffense against most attacks. The butt of the halberd is pointed and can also be used for impaling enemies.
Taka: Taka is the short sword, in shikai it takes the shape of a naginata. At the command from Hisame, Taka joins to the opposit end of Moushou and they become a double-sided weapon, effective in blocking then attacking maneuvres.

A knife, which she keeps tucked in her sash.
A small supply of Ceramic Bombs, carried in a pouch as well as something to light them with. The pouch is tied around her waist beneath her sash.
A Tessen, stored in her sash and used mostly as a last resort in close-range defensive and sometimes offensive maneuvers.
Minrikigusari, also in the pouch.
And one or two Kanzashi, worn in her hair. These small pins are strong enough to pierce the throat or the chest of an enemy and were worn by women to use in times of emergency.
