Physical Description: Zaine is 5'11" weighs 177lbs, is muscular, shaggy shoulder-ish length brown hair, he has golden eyes flecked with crimson.
Zaine has what could be considered a fairly handsome face, recently he has began to exhibit some stubble on his once smooth skin and while his face still retains the warm friendlyness he is well known for, he also has attained a hidden, yet somewhat visible sharpness to his attitude since attaining captaincy. He wears a black cloak that has a hood lined with some sort of fur, and he wears a loose, sleeveless haori when he feels the need to don it. In lieu of traditional hakama Zaine sports Karusan-bakama which are more pants-like. He wears the traditional obi and sandals that are standard to shinigami though.
Personality:Zaine is a pretty likeable guy, however he can be very unpredictable, and has had many instances of hugging people on the spur of the moment he is a joker, but kindhearted and extremely gentle when needed, fiercely loyal to anyone he becomes close to.
Biography: Born to a minor noble house in the Sengoku period of Japan Zaine lived a life of some comforts, as was expected of a member of many noble families at the time. However, his father was a vassal of the Damiyo Toyotomi Hideyoshi and from a young age was trained by his father in the ways of the sword. Over several years of harsh training the young boy that everyone had thought would become a pampered dandy was molded into an excellent warrior, and quickly gained a reputation of being an amazingly skilled swordsman, which was good because not soon after his 15th birthday the Battle of Sekigahara broke out and the men of his house were summoned into battle. Zaine quickly established a name for himself in the blood soaked fields of the melee, and was given command of his own group of soldiers and allowed to venture out into missions he deemed to be of great import. He lead his group to many victories; however it seemed that this success gained him enemies as well as fame, and towards the end of the battle, he was found with a knife in his back and several assassins dead before him.
Unfortunantly he received no proper burial rights and his spirit continued to roam the battle field, sword in hand until he was met with a shinigami who attacked and purified a hollow that had been feasting on the other wandering souls that were found in such areas as the one the young samurai currently inhabited, the shinigami then approached Zaine and was preparing to preform a konso on him when the youth attacked the shinigami and attempted to wrest his blade from the man's hand. Suddenly he felt his body stiffen with only a few words from the shinigami, and as the hilt of the blade touched the bound teenagers head the world became white...
When he woke up he was in the Rukongai
Zanpakutō, Skills & Abilities
Zanpakutō Name: Za Shotou Ookami - The Elemental Wolves
Sealed Form: Old FormI ts form is that of a twin bladed greatsword (Two blades connected at the hilt) Since the size of the weapon is larger than the average zanpakutou, he carries it strapped across his back. The hilt of this sword is black and possesing no guard of any type, it is unadorned but for the silver and gold thread twined about it.
New Form Together Fenris and Fenrir, unlike many duel spirited Zanpakuto, happen to share the same body. Instead of two twin weapons with slight modifications, the blade takes form as a beautifully crafted double bladed katana. Each blade shares slight similarity with the fluent water-like patterns drawn gracefully against the shimmering metallic display. At the shared base of these two blades lies a crystalline guard, magnificent in design and crafted just as finely as the other characteristics of the blade. The next portion of the blade, the hilt, is of a very peculiar design; all black and white with strange interlacing patterns, splayed about at random across the handle. Placed at the weapon's guard, tied about the crystal structure, is a dark red cloth with it's own specific and fiery aura. Also, at the duel-blade's hilt, is a single tassel. The pure white, intertwined strings are used for firmly grasping the small Amulet that hangs lightly from the hilt's rounded bottom. This little token holds the feral image of a wolf within its centre, the sword has a capablity to detatch and form two seperate swords.
Seperate
Zanpakutō Spirits: The spirits that inhabit Zaine's Zanpakuto are a strange pair of twins, usually they don the form of two large wolves, the female appears as a pristine white shewolf that reaches just below Zaine's
ribs, the male is pitch black and reaches Zaine's third rib. They occasionally assume a humanish form, but both still retain some lupine traits, such as fangs, claws and ears. The two of them wear the uniform of a shinigami with a few modifications to them, each posses a sword of unknown orgin and design. The female has snow white hair, and is attractive, however she is somwhat sadistic and enjoy's to make Zaine uncomfortable, always quick to anger the only person who seems to hold sway over her is her brother. The male posseses ravenwing hair and a strong build, his face is handsome and unlike his sister he is quiet and friendly, using few words but eminating an aura of control and safety.
Zanpakuto Spirit true form:The twins become the whole that they are derived from, the man looks similar to Fenrir but is grey, his hair, clothing, and eyes are all grey, instead of a single sword he carries the two blades that the twins had carried, he is the whole and the parts, his voice a blend of the two spirits he had incarnated himself in for most interactions. His forms also are similar to the twins, but in his Wolf body he reaches the height of the mythic wolves of old, somewhere between 3 and 4 stories tall. His name is, Za Kemutai Ookami Shotou (The Smoky Wolf Elemental), He answers to Kemu and will aid Zaine in any way possible in battle, out of a fight he possesses a wicked sense of humor and loves to pull pranks on his owner.
Inner World: A cave, or rather, an intricate, endless cavernous area that has breaks in the ceiling, allowing the constant full moon to shine inside the place, all branches of caverns meet in what Zaine considers the "Heart of the world." An impossibly large cavern, in the center of which is an breathtakingly beautiful underground lake, lit with a gentle glow from within. The ceiling of this room is carved so that the moon can be seen perfectly, the rays of this large guardian of the night sky reveal delicate flowers that are in fact crystalline in structure, gems such as Diamond, Sapphire, Rubies, and others can be found in these beautiful flowers, the lake's interior is in fact packed full of these structures and may be the source of the light within the lake.

Upon release Zaine's shikai engulfs his body in a blinding light, allowing complete loss of visibilty,, the light only takes moments to appear and dissapear, and with it comes an amazing spike in Zaine's already considerable reiatsu level. Once the light dissapears Zaine is revealed weilding two large blades, one is obsidian and on the flat depicts an ivory wolf running across an open field, the detail is such that the pictures seems to move as Zaine does, the blade he carries in his left hand is pure white, with a similar design of a wolf, this one running across a lake view area, the water appears to shimmer and move even when the blade is at rest. Both blades posses no guard nor any obstanant decore aside from a curvature at the end of each hilt that resemble the canine fang of a wolf. The power of his shikai allows Zaine to choose two elements for each blade and control the power of that element, also Zaine's reiatsu becomes infused with the elemental power he chooses for his blades, utilising Sentakushi Tougyo or Selective control he can convert his blades to use the same element, giving him 50% control over that one element, as opposed to the regular 25% per element he has when using two different elements.
- Controlled elements: Water, Wind, Fire, and Earth
- Bankai - Unobtained

Release Phrase: Awaken O' ancient one, Raise your head to the moon, Za Kemutai Ookami Shotou! Bankai"-
Zaine blades dissapear, in their place, a pair of bladed gauntlets sit upon Zaine's arms, the left is alabaster white, leading up to an ebony fur attached at the shoulders, the right gauntlet was obsidian black, and like the left, ended in fur only this was ivory. Each gauntlet possesed a snarling wolf-head design, upon his legs are a set of misty grey bladed greaves, upon which a great smokey grey wolf is engraved upon the shin area, the tops of the greaves possess a gunsteel grey fur that lines the edges, he becomes more lupine in appearance. (Hair becomes more wild, canine fangs grow, ect...)
Zaine's bankai amplifies several aspects that are an essential part of his own fighting style those aspects being, speed, power, control of his elements, ferocity, and pain tolerance, these all boost his versatility in a fight and despite the increase in ferocity Zaine's own mind is still in control for the most part, the feral part of his psyche however is more prominent than usual and he will act in ways that will surprise even those close to him, he is prone to being less compassionate and/or merciful to those he has deemed foes, and will not hesitate to try and take them out in any means possible. Added to the earlier amplifications, his basic senses of sight, smell and hearing are bolstered allowing him to track his foes with more ease than usual. His body is attuned to the elements and can sense disturbances in each of them and somewhat determine the cause, though this is not always perfect or practical, he still controls the elements of Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth only now he does not have to limit himself to two at a time, though the price for this is quite serious for the added strain of having to keep these in elements in line will drain Zaine severely both physically and in reiatsu and has the potential to cause mild internal damage if he hasn't become adjusted to its use (In other words when he first starts off with it))
As to the capabilities of Zaine's bankai combat wise, he can incorporate the elements in a myriad of ways, from forming blades of them on his greaves and gauntlets, to channeling them into melee attacks. He can also alter his gauntlets into a pair of wolf heads that appear to be howling, when in this form Zaine can condense, and refine the elements into pure energy forms that he can then fire off like cannons, the beams can take the form of charging wolves and can be slightly altered on their paths to intercept moving enemies, they cannot turn around though so if a foe were to get behind one it would be unable to attack them, though the beams move at such speeds that even if a high level opponent were not paying attention to the attack they would find it nearly impossible to evade without some damage.
- Accessories -
- He wears a strange cross around his neck, it has a white crescent moon intersecting it to the right and a black one to the left. He always carries basic med supplies in his cloak. (E.g. Bandages, splints, ect...)
- Skills -
- Sentakushi Tougyo- Selective Control, meaning that he can choose to focus his control on a single element, doubling his current control of it.
Wind Waker
Taught by:Xeion Kuchiki
Type: Anti-Personnel
Description: Uses reiatsu energy to manipulate the air in the surrounding atmosphere to form a highly concentrated sphere made up of powerful air currents. This skill requires far more concentration than reiatsu energy, making it usable even by unseated shinigami. However, it does require time to get used to it and to master it is, by itself, a great feat. This was one of Feiy-sama's basic techniques which she taught to her students back when she was still alive.
Gale Song: A more advanced, personallized technique derived from the Wind Waker by Zaine, he manifests one Wind Waker onto each finger of a hand and launches them simultaneously, each one possessing the same power and speed of an original Wind Waker, making this a fierce and powerful move, one to be reckoned with to say the least.
- Abilities -
- Advanced Reiatsu Manipulation- Zaine can use his own Reiatsu in various ways, both offensive and defensive. Mostly he channels it to various points on his body (Arms, legs, feet, palms, ect...)

Zaine is fair at treating field wounds, His prowess with a blade is nothing to be ignored either. Zaine made made up for his nearly nonexistent kidou skills by training his speed and reflexes, to be able to dodge most kidou blasts. Zaine's past attempts at using kido of any level resulted in highly destructive explosions that wounded him and the surrounding area, a glaring example of this was the time he attempted to use Sho back at the academy and succeeded in destroying the class area in the explosion. However, recently he has become quite adept at kidou, and appears to have finally settled into their use and power.
