 Name :
Kinkade, Zander
Aliases/ Nicknames :
Zandy, though only his closest friends call him that, if we've just met, call me Zander.
Physical Description :
Zander has thick shocking jet black hair that seems to always flow in just the right direction making him look unbelievable dashing. He has a thin, scrawny physique but it's only because his muscles don't bulge when they grow but instead increase in density and retain the same scrawny shape. With that said, he's only about 5'4" but makes up for it by being unbelievable rugged looking.
Zanpaktou :
Zanpaktou's Spirit & Name: Onyota"aka (O-nee-oh-ta-ah-kah) or Ony for short.
Zanpaktou (Not Achieved) : [x] Just a regular katana with a square hilt made from a very strong piece of wood that he uses to occasionally parry attacks leaving the opponent open for an easy counter attack. It is also impossible for anyone besides Zander to pick up Ony. Ony can change his weight to any amount. Ony's weight cap is slightly less than the weight of Jupiter. When Zander tries to pick Ony up, he decreases his weight significantly and when Zander tries to strike down on an opponent, Ony increases his weight and adds to the force Zander puts on the sword. Ony's uncanny knowledge of physics helps him appropriately change his weight automatically and instantaneously at the most opportune times to help optimize damage dealt by Zander's strikes.
Shikai Release : Crush my enemies....Onyota"aka
Shikai (Not Achieved) : [x] Ony turns into a rock palm hammer and now not only can he change his weight instantaneously, Ony can also change the size and form of the palm. Ony can make the palm bigger or smaller, he can also bend the fingers if he so chooses. Other than those extra abilities, Ony retains his sealed abilities too. The palm acts as kind of an appendage of Ony that sticks out of the handle Zander holds on to.
Bankai Release : Bankai....Onyota"aka Goruden Kondou
Bankai (Not Achieved) : [x] Not only does Ony retain his Sealed and Shikai abilities, Ony's handle is now flexible and can bend and strectch as far and for as long as he wants. He can also control which parts of the hammer gain or loose weight to optimize damage dealt to his opponent. Ony can also rotate about the handle and it comes in handy when Zander fights long range because he might not be able to see the subtle movements of his enemy clearly and adjust the position of Ony accordingly for optimum efficiency. Ony now has the ability to draw reiatsu from Zander and collect and condense it into a large rotating sphere just outside his jaw.

Abilities :
(Nothing at the moment)
Personality :
Very carefree, almost to a fault, he never takes anything seriously. He sleeps like a log though...whenever he does catch a chance to sleep... It usually takes him about 5 hours to actually gain consciousness after waking and 'till then, he's usually a zombie and is apparently quite suggestable. Most people tend to take advantage of him in this time period. However, he does tend to fight better in this state. He loves his comrades and they are definitely a big part in his life. He wouldn't be as happy if he were alone. He also loves to take shortcuts, he is very lazy and he almost never takes a street, if he needs to get from point A to point B, it's most probable that he would take a straight line by climbing over buildings and walls instead of following the roads or trails.
Biography/History :
Zander came from a reasonably wealthy family in the real world, he never really did much in school, in fact, he skipped a lot of school. He spent most of his time climbing buildings and ledges and jumping off them from ridiculous heights. He'd jump across building roof to roof and always tried to outdo himself each time. Even if he failed, he'd keep coming back to the same spot over and over again 'till he got it right. He had been doing it since elementary school and had continued it on 'till college. Only God knows how he managed to graduate high school and get into a decent university but he did and he continued with building jumping. He even managed to join a crew of building jumpers and learned and grew much more from being around his crewmates than he ever could being by himself. From that time on, he always tried to keep himself around other people.
One fateful day, while Zander and his crewmates were jumping, they wound up at a small playground in their neighbourhood and they decided to take a short breather as they watched the children play. They talked about how carefree those kids were and how he wished he could go back to that. The crew decided that it could be done and from that day forward, they would try their best to be that way. Then all of a sudden, the crew heard a screeching noise coming from around the corner. When they turned to look at what was making the noise, they saw a drunk motorist swerving on the road, heading toward the monkey bars, where the children were playing. The crew with their quick reflexes, built up by having to catch minute details and react so they would be able to land after jumping blindly off a ledge, quickly jumped off the wall they were on and quickly went to grab a kid to take them to safety. There was however one more kid that no one was able to get because he was farther away from the group on the swings. The kid still had no idea of the impending danger he was in, so Zander dropped off his first kid in the trees with his crew and rushed back to the child on the swing. He saw the motor vehicle looming toward the kid and decided he could not save the child and himself at the same time. When he got within about 4 feet of the child, he made a concious decision to leap forward and push the child off the swing and to safety while he got hit by the car. Even 'till the end, Zander was smiling at the kid in hopes that he wouldn't feel guilty for the sacrifice Zander had to make.
He then found himself in Seireitei and without knowledge of where he had been brought and what had happened to his crew and the child, he decided that he would start a new life here. He would make the best of it and he would hone his skills of mastering physics to make sure he could save more lives like the child's that fateful day.
Powers :
((Characteristics of Zanpakutou and Released Forms are under each respective descriptions.))
{Shikai}
Rock Shelter (Not Achieved) : Zander strikes fingers of Ony fairly deep into the ground and then when he lets go of the handle, Ony increases in size to about 4 times the size of Zander. Then Ony starts to curl palm down towards the Earth using fingers to seal off every corner so Zander who is cowering inside palm is completely safe from attacks, most attacks at least. Skills is pretty slow to perform and is hard to recover from because handle is now on outside of palm, used only when desperate and need time to recover from serious injuries.
Rock Palm Slap (RPS) (Not Achieved) : Pretty much just what it sounds like, it's where Zander swings the palm open handed at an enemy. Ony would usually just before the point of contact, increase palm size so that if opponent doesn't flee a good distance, it's a good chance he would land in the new and larger area of attack.
Rock Jab (RJ) (Not Achieved) : Zander thrusts Ony fingers first at his opponent very fast and moderate ranged attack. One of the few fast attacks Zander has, but it sacrifices power for speed. If the attack lands, there is a good chance Zander will be able to combo into a RPS due to stunning the opponent.
Rock Fist Bump (RFB) (Not Achieved) : Pretty much the same as RJ but before point of contact, Ony retracts fingers and turns palm into fist, stronger than RJ but shorter range so Zander has to compensate by running a few more steps. Used sometimes to fake out his opponent. If opponent sees RJ coming, and decides to try to block it, Zander uses RFB which is harder to block.
Constriction Site (Not Achieved) (Yeah it's a play of words on construction site, I thought it was hilarious) : Ony grabs a hold of an opponent and squeezes them 'till they give in, or pop. Short range, very dangerous for Zander because if it misses, there is barely anything between him and opponent because fingers would be behind opponent and palm beside him. Zander uses it as a finishing move when he knows his opponent is getting tired and wouldn't be able to dodge as well.
Constriction Site : Hammer (Not Achieved) : If Constriction Site is successful, and if usually if opponent is fated for death, Zander will raise Ony as high as he can above ground and turn so that opponent's head hanging out the top of the fist will face down toward the ground. Ony then squeezes his opponent tighter to make sure body is straight, pulls pinky finger over legs of opponent and uses index finger to push chin of opponent up aligning the spine into a straight line increasing damage upon impact to head. Once Ony is in position, Zander lets go and Ony immediately increases weight to an unbelieveable amount and is sent plummeting to the ground with opponents face being the first thing that hits the ground. Pinky makes sure opponent doesn't slip out upon impact. If all goes well, Ony will be buried quite deep in the Earth or cause a large crater. When Zander goes to retrieve his Zanpacto, the remains of his opponent are usually unrecognizable.
{Bankai}
Divine Intervention (Not Achieved) : Ony fires the orb at his opponent and it will explode upon impact.
Divine Retribution (Not Achieved) : Ony keeps the orb in front of his face and physically goes up to his opponent and burning them with the heat of the orb.
Divine Ray (Not Achieved) : Ony unleashes the energy of the orb in a straight burst of pure power.

Name: Leander Livingstrom
Aliases/ Nicknames: Leo, Priest or Wandering Priest as a title
Physical Description: Leo is tall and muscular, somewhere in between lean and bulky. He has unkempt blond hair and, when they're visible, blue eyes flecked with gold. A small blond goatee rests beneath his often grinning mouth. He is almost always seen wearing black shades that are simply a straight bar of shaded sunglass lens material with notches in it for his ears and nose. He wears his black gi open from the waist up without and undershirt, exposing his muscled torso, while the arms are long enough to completely cover and obscure his hands. Around his waist is a wide red sash, and he wears a belt crossing his chest from his right shoulder to his left hip holding his zanpakuto. However, unlike mostpeople with this style of belt, his hilt protrudes by his left hip, a special catch holding his sword in its sheath.
Zanpacto: Sonshi (Holy Master)
Unreleased: Sonshi looks like a normal katana, though slightly longer. His guard has a cross design raised in it. However, Sonshi is much heavier than the average Zanpakuto, easily weighing as much as three to four times as much. This allows him to wear down opponent's with brutal attacks.
-Beadcord Spear: the beaded necklaces around Leo's forearms can unclip to become weighted cords. Leo can hook one end of a cord to the hilt of Sonshi without his opponent seeing thanks to his long sleeves, allowing him to throw Sonshi and spear his opponent for a surprise attack.
Shikai: Not Yet Accomplished Released with the incantation: Akuwokorasu, Sonshi (Punish the wicked, Sonshi). Leo tosses Sonshi straight upwards in the air as the blade starts to glow golden. The glow expands into a cross nearly as tall as Leo himself. The glow dissipates, revealing a sword with a point at the top end, and square-ended blades for the cross arms. The end bulges with a hollow inside, where Leo inserts his arm to grab the handle inside. The blade is gold with a white edge, and glows slightly. In this form, Leo can perform the Cross Bolt, which is much like Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou, in that the sword fires the users reiatsu, but the Cross Bolt fires a straight arrow instead of an arcing wave.
Bankai: Not Yet Accomplished Sanrantaru Jokasochi Sonshi (Radiant Purifier Holy Master). A cross forms behind Leo, splitting to become winglike. "Feathers" of energy sprout under the cross to flesh out the wing while a "halo" appears between the two cross pieces, forming a floating arc. In this form, Leo fights with two of his shikai Crossblades, but they're shorter, about four feet long including the arm piece each, connected by a chain that floats around Leo's back that can extend at will. They aren't actually on his arms, though, but floating near them. They are controlled by the motions of the corresponding arm. One of his strongest techniques in this form is the Double Cross Bolt, which is just that. Also, in this form, his wounds heal rapidly at the cost of little energy.
Special Accessories: Leo's glasses enhance his ability to detect reiatsu, allowing him to read its flow and easily discern weak points in his opponent's spiritual pressure, allowing him to focus his attacks on their weakest point. He also wears a beaded necklace-band wrapped several times around each hand that are very heavy to constantly train him to handle Sonshi's weight. He can unclip the necklaces and attach them to each other or use them separately as either a five or ten foot weighted cord. He somtimes uses them as a whip or even to throw his zanpakuto and spear someone as a surprise tactic.
Skills: Leo is a powerful swordsman and hand-to-hand fighter, and is a fair marksman. He is very good at discerning a foe's weakness thanks to his glasses. He has a massive amount of raw reiatsu at his disposal, but his fine control over it is lacking, making him unable to perform most kido.
Abilities: Leo is able to force his reiatsu into his hands and feets to add a raw jolt of reiatsu to his hand-to-hand combat when its needed. He's surprisingly fast and agile despite wielding such a hefty weapon, and is very strong through his training.
Kidos Obtained: Leo, despite being able to manipulate reiatsu to his hands and feet, is unable to master any Kido save one:
4. White Lightning
Personality: Leo is a roguish womanizer with a surprisingly sensitive side if a girl decides to put up with him. He is a thrill-seeker and enjoys fighting. He never passes up a good bottle of sake, and he loves to joke around with people and makes puns on his own unlikely holy-based Zanpakuto, stating on occasion, "Who would imagine a guy like me being a holy man?" As such, he jokingly calls himself "the Priest" when introducing himself to the foes. He's not afraid of going all out, and is considered reckless when fighting, charging head first into a fray, even though he usually has already examined the enemy for weak points. One of his favorite lines is, when asked about the weight of his Zanpakuto, he replies, "It's because it's so full of mercy." (Blatant Wolfwood ripoff, dont kill me if you're a Trigun fan too.)
Biography/History: Leo grew up in the Rocky Mountains, backpacking, hunting, and strength training in the pine forests of eastern Yellowstone. He had dreams of being an engineer, which his mother and father supported. His family was a loving one, despite his parents' divorce. His father moved in next door to them, and life was relatively unchanged. When he was twenty-two, Leo returned home for a vacation from school. He went into the woods each day to train as he once had. One day, he overestimated how much time he had left to return. Caught as night fell, he was about to make camp when he ran across a full-grown male grizzly and startled it. Despite performing the recommended procedures to avoid serious injury, the bear kept attacking him. In a last ditch effort, he rolled away from the bear, drawing his two hunting knives and attacking it. He was found dead of his wounds with his back to a tree. The bear lay dead at his feet, the two eight inch knives driven into its throat.
After having attained his zanpakuto, Leo has spent the past few years training with it, learning to use it to the best of his ability. He can use the blade with either hand, and in numerous combinations with his weight-cords.
Powers:
Reiatsu Strikes: Created forcing reiatsu into his hands, feet, and weight-cords to jolt his opponents with each hand-to-hand strike. Each strike sends a burst of reiatsu into the opponent's body, overloading the nerves in that area much like a taser, causing a slight numbness of the struck area.
Shishiku (Lion's Roar): Leo yells, forcing reiatsu into the sound waves to stun his opponent's, possibly disorienting them or throwing their sense of balance.

((Time Skip Profile)) Name: Xeion Kuchiki Alias: XeionPhysical Description:  Xeion w/ Elena(Or simply look at my avatar) Special Accessories: As long as it looks good on me. Zanpakuto: Xeion's zanpakuto, Elena, clearly resembles that of a traditional English broadsword during the medieval ages with only slight alterations to the overall design. The sword's base and its hilt are made with gold with the base having a solid gold symbol of the Maltese Cross engraved on it and the hilt with lavish archaic design. The blade itself is quite long but not long enough to sacrifice scabbard withdrawal speed and its not quite as thick so as not to sacrifice the user's dexterity. Simply put, it's a broadsword that has the perfect mix of speed, attack, and defense. Powers:Shikai Form: When Xeion's shikai form is activated with the activation key: "Corrupt me now", the broadsword's frame alters completely into a sinister looking blade, writhing with malicious intent. The sword's name itself is Elena and can physically manifest herself as an extremely gorgeous young lady of about 20 years of age with long flowing hair of silver hue and wearing absolutely nothing with only her long hair as cover. Recently, though, Xeion has convinced Elena to dawn more appropriate clothes as he doesn’t see the need for Elena to “strut her stuff’ around anymore. His personality completely changes as he turns into an emotionless fighter with only a few words to spare for his enemies and responds only to the voice of Elena. As for Elena, she is an unusual spirit whom treats Xeion not as a master, but as her lover and would do anything to protect him from any harm. Note that Xeion’s zanpakuto, along with being unique, is also a Release Phrase-heavy weapon which need numerous release phrases in order to use it properly. First Stage: “Stained Reflection” During this stage of shikai development, Xeion has little control over his body and mind as Elena herself is the one who controls him during this state. After weeks of rigorous training of his own, fiendish design, Xeion has finally mastered the said shikai stage to such an extent that he can now retain his sense of self while utilizing the full potential of this shikai stage which are as follows: Elena "Basically, the Dark Mirror is a manifestation of all of your inner desires. Henceforth, you can consider the Dark Mirror literally as a mirror to your soul, showing off all the things you’re afraid of showing to other people. The Dark Mirror has seven abilities all in all called the Seven Dark Gifts, aptly named after the Seven Sins of Christian religion -- Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, Envy, Pride and Lust -- each with their own powers and uses which can aid you in times of crisis.
Gluttony allows the Dark Mirror to absorb an almost infinite amount of things no matter how strong or big they may be. Greed lowers the reiatsu cost of all abilities related with the Dark Mirror by ¾ of their original cost. Wrath doubles the power of everything that went inside the Dark Mirror for a short period of time. Sloth allows you to use Dark Mirrors as portals to other places with an effective range of two miles. Envy allows you to replicate your opponent or yourself. Also, Envy is the most flexible Dark Gifts since the number of combinations one can create using Envy are only limited by your imagination, as well as your reiatsu.
Pride envelops you in a malicious energy aura that dispels any magic or ailment once every minute as well as reduce physical attack damage by half and increase natural regenerative powers by a factor of ten. And finally, Lust, one of my personal favorites in more ways than one, allows you to manipulate the darkness within the Dark Mirror into any form you want; bands, hands, spikes or whips, anything that gets your fancy. I believe you‘ve already had the pleasure of getting tangled up by one of my bands, tee-hee.” Second Stage: “True Reflection” ~“ With these hands, I offer you my blood; the blood which contains my heart and my soul. Hear me now as I make this covenant with you, written in blood which now flows down your body. Let the world see your true face, o blue rose that glimmers amidst the abysmal night’s curtain. Break the mirror and show your true reflection and from the depths of despair, awaken, with wings ablaze with majestic light."~ -Second Stage Release Phrase In this stage of evolution, Xeion and Elena’s souls have become perfectly in tune with each other as this second stage signifies Xeion and Elena’s triumph over their own inner demons, as represented by the cooler-looking sword. Unlike normal zanpakuto stage evolution which normal shinigami can use on a whim, Xeion’s second stage has two certain conditions that he must accomplish in order to fully bring out the second stage’s full power. The first condition is that Xeion must offer Elena his blood to activate the transformation into the second stage of development, giving Xeion enormous speed and power and doubles the potency of the Dark Mirror’s abilities as well as envelop Xeion’s body in a cloak of malicious energy; an energy which can redirect 30 percent of attacks inflicted upon Xeion back at the attacker, at all times during the activation of this stage. Although this alone is enough to activate the transformation, it still isn’t enough for the sword to unleash its true power. The second condition that needs to be met to release this stage’s true power is that Xeion must recite the second stage release phrase that is written above. By reciting this, Elena’s “True Reflection” awakens and allows Xeion to have four more abilities to add into his, already vast, arsenal of skills. The Thread Cutter ability allows Xeion to slice open dimensional rifts in any place he slashes as long as the Thread Cutter ability is active. If Xeion cuts enough dimensional threads in a specific place, the dimension, unable to sustain itself, would crumble into a void of pure destruction before force-resetting itself to its previous form. This ability, however, doesn't damage the dimensional threads per se, but rather, simply "opens them up" to release the dimensional energies into a more destructive form. This principle, best described, would be filling a balloon up with water, letting the water out, then fill it back up again in order to repeat the same thing over and over again. The Silent Edge makes use of the second stage’s abilities in order to bend the space-time continuum between the hands and the sword which would make Xeion’s attacks inexplicably faster as well as make them soundless. Also, due to the bending of space, Silent Edge attacks are usually masked with brilliant light, blinding the target and making it almost impossible to predict where the attack is coming from. The Open Wound has the ability to allows an opponent’s reiatsu energy to leak out from the wound that were made using Elena, only stopping until the opponent has no more reiatsu left or the wound has been treated and bandaged as well as make the wound hurt twice as much as it would normally would. Lastly, the Dark Walker ability causes a space distortion around Xeion which alters his very physical appearance, allowing him to perfectly blend in with his surroundings. Bankai Form:
UNKNOWNSkills: Adept at many forms of martial arts so it isn't a problem for him if he is armed or not. Abilities: Xeion is quite fast as well as dexterous due to his intense training as well as razor sharp reflexes. He can also manipulate cosmic energy freely, thanks to his Revenant blood. Personality: He has a rather happy-go-lucky and clumsy aura around him, but he is kind and caring towards others and knows how to get deadly serious when the situation calls for it. He hates it when people ask about his clothes and accessories and gets irritated when asked to wear traditional Japanese clothing like most of the people in the Soul Society wear although, he mostly known for his love for ramen and the high moral standards he has, among other things. Above all, he's the typical nice guy whom you want to be with in times of hardship and happiness. Biography/ History: Xeion is a really mysterious kid; so mysterious in fact that he doesn't know how or why he got to the Soul Society and neither does the Soul Society. He was found unconscious near the border of the West Rukon district wearing the clothes he is wearing when he was still in the world of the living; a highly unusual, even impossible, occurrence in the Soul Society. For many days, Xeion wandered around the Rukon and eventually came to be a peacemaker around the area; stopping fights and helping people in need which made him very popular around the area. Lodging and food wasn't a problem for Xeion since he usually stays from one house after another since he was a well known hero which made everyone treat him like family with numerous houses wanting to take him in for the night. Soon, his deeds began to spread like wildfire until it came to the ears of one Byakuya Kuchiki, leader of one of Soul Society's four major clans, who seemed to be impressed by his deeds of chivalry. One day, the Kuchiki Clan decided to pay him a visit and offered him a chance to become a Soul Reaper and bring honor to the Rukon like few before him did. Without hesitation, Xeion accepted the offer and began training to become a Soul Reaper under the name Xeion Kuchiki. As he went to train to become a soul reaper, he was met with the same obstacles that those of the Rukon District have experienced. Even though he was adopted into the Kuchiki Clan, he was still treated very harshly by his fellow classmates, constantly being subjected to painful beatings and harsh criticisms. After a while, he finally overcame those odds and graduated at the top of his class, beating out all others by a mile. Before long, he underwent training to get his Zanpakuto where he met fellow soul reapers, Yamamoto and Thanatos, who trained him in proper combat until he achieved shikai form. After which, Xeion was personally invited by Thanatos to join him in squad four, the Seireitei's very own medical squad. Although not sure why a combat specialist like Thanatos would want him to join a medical squad, he cast away his doubts and followed Thanatos' opinion. After countless days of loyal service under squad four, Xeion received a letter of request from the captain of squad nine, Drfit Galewind. The letter contained his personal thoughts and feelings as well as transfer papers telling Xeion that he was now the vice captain of squad nine. After a bittersweet transfer order inside Rhia-taicho's office, Xeion proceeded to the squad nine barracks to fulfill his role as its new vice captain. It had been three years since that day and Xeion's skills have greatly improved since then. Through intense physical and mental training, Xeion had developed a much greater control over his Angra Mainyu, the evil spirit which all Revenants possess inside of them, as well as he had grown a lot more mature both in his beliefs. Of course, in terms of combat prowess, improving in that aspect was already a given, but even though he had already become a fine warrio, he still retains his childish appeal. Although his real age is still unknown, he now looks slightly older, now about 19 years of age. (( Warning! The information written below is purely fictional and have been the result of my overactive imagination right after breaking up a sweat playing soccer. Any relation to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental, so please don't kill me by drowning me in a sea of fat, chibi bunnies.)) Cosmic Energy: (Taken from the Magus, Ala Altra's Research Diary) Smart, Old Mage-Researcher Guy Cosmic energy is one of the universe’s most powerful elements, yet is also an element shrouded in mystery. Aside from its seemingly innumerable uses, it is also capable of impossible feats that are only comparable to that of a divine handiwork like manipulating dimensions, time, and even create entirely new worlds. However, in all of its power, cosmic energy, as I have discovered, had a very corruptive influence on those who were able to wield it, eating away at the positive energies that their souls possess until only negative energies remained. In my studies, I have found out that some ancient civilizations long, long ago had been using this unknown energy for their own advancement and may have been used in the creation of some of the world’s fantastic megalithic structures that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for normal humans to create. Unfortunately, the names of these civilizations, as well as their locations and any other trace of evidence to their existence were forever lost in the eternal sands of time. However, I was lucky to come across ancient tomes in the Grand Magus Library which accounted for two civilizations that have been able to successfully utilize cosmic energy for their advancements -- Atlantis and Ancient Dwarka. Atlantis, the great city all in a cultural, military, economic, and political sense, which the great Greek philosopher, Plato, had praised in his works and the model of every other city-state present in the ancient world. It was a city that lay in the middle of the Pillars of Heracles. For many years, it was a superpower of the ancient world and its citizens thrived with the help of cosmic energy. However, as time went by, its rulers grew more violent with each passing generation succumbing more and more to the cosmic energy’s corruptive influence until one Atlantean king, whose name had been omitted from history, succumbed to it and decided to use cosmic energy as a weapon. Using it, the Atlantean empire conquered the lands around them and expanded their territory incessantly until they were defeated by the Athenians. In dismay, the unknown king pushed his scientists to create an even more powerful weapon using cosmic energy. Unfortunately, it failed with unbelievably catastrophic results, and Atlantis sunk beneath the waves in a single day and night of misfortune. Another similar story would be the ancient city of Dwarka, Krishna’s holy city mentioned in the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, built on the Western shores of Saurashtra. Using cosmic energy, the people of ancient Dwarka also thrived and was able to build a great kingdom for their lord and ruler, Krishna. It was an organized city which had six well-organized sectors, residential and commercial zones, wide roads, plazas, palaces, a thriving harbor, and many public utilities. The city also had 700,000 palaces made of gold, silver, adorned with precious stones, and beautiful gardens full of rare flowers and cool, crystal clear lakes. However, it’s leaders, too, succumbed to the cosmic energy’s influence and used it as weapons against each other so that only one would claim the throne. Unfortunately, like the Atlanteans before them, Dwarka, too, sunk beneath the waves. In studying these two accounts of two different civilizations who had used cosmic energy, I was shocked at how powerful and dangerous this unknown element -- cosmic energy -- really was. In the right hands, it was able to give happiness, but in wrong hands, it was capable of untold death and destruction. Immediately, I researched into ways on how these two ancient civilizations were able to utilize cosmic energy and found that both Atlantis and ancient Dwarka were employing people who were able to brandish cosmic energy. From my research, these people, whom I have dubbed as “Aether”, due to their capacity to manipulate the powerful element known as cosmic energy, giving them seemingly god-like powers, I had found out that there Aethers during those times held modest jobs within their cities with some Aether working as doctors, priests, or entertainers -- all are jobs having to do with the virtues of socialization, patience, diligence, discipline, understanding, and kindness. Since cosmic energy had such a corruptive nature, it was obvious that people within these traits were the ones who were most likely to be able to use cosmic energy without the least bit succumbing to its influence, if succumb to at all. Linking this new information to my current knowledge, I had made a list of those who were most likely to be able to wield the aforementioned energy without much repercussion, but these is only limited into the realm of the occult. Magister Magi - they have years of experience in the arcane arts and have a far better understanding of the magical concepts which govern the universe than those below them. Magister Magi, aside from reaching the pinnacle of the magus order, are known as kind-hearted people who use their powers for the benefit of others. It would not surprise me if a number of them were able to wield cosmic energy. Spiritual Beings - some of those who are composed of spirit energy are also capable of using cosmic energy, but only to a certain extent and only limited to a certain field and the appearance of one who could manipulate cosmic energy only appears about once in an eon. However, since their cosmic energy expertise is only focused on one aspect of cosmic energy manipulation, they are usually the best in that field whether it be manipulation of dimensions, manipulation of time, manipulation of objects, or anything concerning itself with cosmic energy. High Priests - due to their powers being tied to divine healing, High Priests are able to summon cosmic energy to perform feats of healing considered by some as miraculous. Their mental and emotional fortitude are also enough to keep the cosmic energy under control for as long as they live. Revenants - the most interesting race who could manipulate cosmic energy, yet the most unpredictable ones. They have total freedom in using it and suffer almost no sign of succumbing to its corruptive influence. However, this freedom comes at a price which I would elaborate on more later. Creators - the highest level in the realms of alchemy. Creators are master alchemists who have the knowledge to create anything and manipulate the structures of things at an even greater level than normal alchemists. However, what mostly separates them from normal alchemists is in fact that they have been successful in their attempt to create a Philosopher’s Stone, thus, allowing them to use cosmic energy via the stone’s power. However, the same rules apply to them and they would still need a strong heart to combat the corruptive force of cosmic energy. Weapon Spirits - weapon spirits are a physical manifestation of a weapon’s aura which have accumulated over time within the material it was made from. Weapon spirits differ from each weapon and no two weapons have the same weapon spirit. In the same sense, a weapon spirit’s physical appearance is linked to its user’s heart and gains powers depending on a number of factors including its user’s personality, outlook on life, and so on. There have also been accounts in the past of wandering spirits possessing weapons which could also account for the creation of weapon spirits. Some weapon spirits are said to be able to use cosmic energy, but I have yet to see for myself a genuine weapon spirit that can use cosmic energy. Now that we have enumerated the various types of people who could manipulate cosmic energy, let us go to one, interesting case found in the revenants. Although the term ‘revenant’ is usually related to a ‘zombie’ or a ‘vampire’, revenants are far from those sorts of creatures. Revenants are living “vessels” of all the evils of the world -- the ‘Angra Mainyu’ -- which is sealed deep within their souls through the eyes (since they are considered as windows to the soul). This is the reason as to why a revenant’s eyes are blood red because the color comes from the evil aura of their sealed Angra Mainyu and have to constantly wear protective eyewear like blindfolds made from blessed cloth, eye patches made from tanned demon hide, or any object with immense magical power to cover up their eyes so that the Angra Mainyu won’t go out of control within their bodies. I have studied some revenants who are in active service within the Magus Guild and have found out that a number of them have the ability to manipulate cosmic energy in the form of dimension bending, but it seems as if their powers are only limited to dimension bending. However, this doesn’t mean that their powers cannot be honed to achieve even greater levels of cosmic energy control proven by one such revenant codenamed ‘Zero’. Little is known about this revenant, and accounts vary from person to person. However, from what I have been able to sum up from asking those who have worked with him, revenant ‘Zero’ had red hair which complimented his red eyes and always wore black shades. He was always accompanied by his weapon spirit, battle partner, and wife, an Oni princess by the name of ‘Nyuu’who takes the form of a long and beautifully-designed katana. The two of them are allegedly able to use cosmic energy, but they have since disappeared without a trace where even the Mage Guild’s Magister Magi have no clue as to where they have gone, leaving my prime research material on revenants and weapon spirits who could use cosmic energy gone. It was said that they had a son, but the name still eludes me since the Mage Council have refused to give me assistance into this matter, saying that I should just “leave it to fate”. Honestly what I wouldn’t give to complete my research on cosmic energy and those who could use it.

 Name: Crowjii Williams
Aliases/Nicknames: Crow, Crowjii
Physical Description: Crowjii is a man of average height and weight. His hair is medium length; black, with red highlights, and has a feral appearance. He is skinny with a small muscular farm and always stands straight, never allowing his posture to change. His eyes are sharp with a crimson glow in them. He wears his shinigami uniform in a normal fashion, but unlike others, wears a long piece of rope around his body like a sash, with both ends attached to his sheath.
Zanpacto: Chisaku Anei (Shadow Speed)
Sealed: At first glance, it looks like a normal katana, but upon closer inspection grooves can be seen etched along the blade. The weight of his katana is also much lighter than other Zanpacto. His guard is shaped like a V, with the bottom of the V pointing downwards. The end of the hilt has a string with many black feathers attached to the string.
Shikai: Run fast my Chisaku Anei; At first glance, the now unsealed Zanpacto's blade looks invisible, but upon closer inspection the blade can be seen vibrating at extreme speeds. The blade and hilt are longer, giving the sword a longer appearance. The string attached the hilt is much longer and has even more black feathers attached to it. The guard, itself, has disappeared entirely. In this state, Crowjii's swing speed and jumping abilities increase slightly. The vibrating blade gives Crowjii the ability to slice through strong inanimate objects, such as trees, rocks, buildings, and weak barriers. Not Achieved
Bankai: Speed towards the light and let your shadow shine through my Chisaku Anei; The sword is even longer than before, both due to the increase size of the blade and the hilt. A blue energy shoots out of the space where the blade and the hilt meet and swarms around Crowjii's arm like a snake. Also, the hilt itself has also become a mass of blue energy, and the string itself is now short with a feather the size of Crowjii's arm attached to it. Also, Crowjii's red eyes are glowing and his hair is now spiked upwards, with the red highlights also glowing. In this form, Crowjii's healing abilities and speed increase, while also keeping his increased swing speed and jumping abilities from his Shikai. He can also manipulate his own blood, creating various weapons from his blood if he is ever cut or wounded. The blue energy surrounding his arm, acts as a guard, protecting his arm against most physical attacks and weak kidou. The feather can be used to heal a major wound, though it can only be used once every two to three weeks due the amount of spiritual energy used to heal the wound. Not Achieved
Special Accessories: Crowjii has a special ring that allows him to increase his ability to heal other people's wounds, but only depending on how much of his spiritual energy he puts into the ring.
Skills: Crowjii is very good at spotting things most people would miss. He's also good at helping others with their problems and has a great photographic memory.
Abilities: Crowjii is quick on his feet and a fast sprinter. He can also jump higher than most people.
Personality: Crowjii is very brave and hard headed, but even then knows when it's time to quit. He is a leader who is willing to do anything to get his team going with various chants and speeches. He is quiet around new people, but once he gets to know them, he becomes quite chatty.
Biography/History: Crowjii was born and raised on a small farm in the countryside of the United States. Every since he was a boy, Crowjii had always wanted to become an athlete. His mother was Japanese, though his father was German. He had two older brothers, Ron and Shin, who would always fight one another to see who would get to play with Crowjii. In high school, Crowjii spent most of his time helping his mother, Sakura Williams, who was a police officer, help children who were problem makers change for the better. It was due to this that Crowjii abandoned his dream of running and decided to become a doctor. It was during his sophomore year in college when tragedy struck. Late one night, while walking home, a band of thugs jumped him on the streets. After a failed attempt at robbing Crowjii, two of the thugs immediately pulled out handguns and began shooting at Crowjii. Crowjii took three shots to the chest, two shots to his left arm and his right leg, and four shots to the head. As he lay dying, the blood from his forehead began to seep into his eyes and hair, giving his eyes and hair it's crimson color.

Name: Hitokage, Mikoto
Aliases/ Nicknames:
Mikoto
Physical Description:
Mikoto has blue hair that covers his forehead, and covers part of his neck. He also has blue eyes. They change to different shades of blue, depending on his mood. He has two black scratch marks on each cheek. His face looks really childish, even though he's 14. He's about 5'7", and he has no muscle at all.
He wears a black and blue striped shirt, that's long-sleeved. The sleeves are long enough so that they occasionally cover his hands. He wears black jeans, and black sneakers. Sometimes, he has a pair of blue goggles that he puts on, just because he feels like it.
Zanpacto:
Tantou no Seigyoku (Also known as Seigyoku-chan)
This blue knife is his zanpakuto. It didn't come to him as a sword, for some odd reason. When it appeared, it was a dagger. The blade is made out of sapphire; while the hilt is made out of silver and rubies. The very end of the tip is made out of platinum. If the platinum tip is taken off, there's a hollow area in the hilt. Mikoto hasn't thought of anything to put inside of the hollow part, unfortunately.
Permanent Shikai Not obtained
Shine, Seigyoku-chan!
When Mikoto says the release, his dagger starts to shine, and then bursts into small particles. The particles gather into two swords. A blue one and a red one. He uses the swords to manipulate light particles. Since his shikai is activated permanently though, he has to rest after using a certain amount of attacks. Although, he can occasionally revert back into his dagger. It takes a lot of energy to switch between the two forms, unfortunately. He also switches back into dagger mode when all of his reiatsu is used up. He can use the light to make shields, to attack, and to do a multitude of things.
Second Stage Shikai
No idea.
Bankai Not obtained
-Blank-
Special Accessories:
Mikoto carries a pair of blue goggles that help him see at night, and to see heat. He can switch between three modes: Normal, Heat, or Night vision.
Skills:
Tactics: Mikoto was just naturally born knowing how to get out of a situation, or how to beat through one.
Mikoto is also able to move fluidly. He doesn't know why. He's just able to move without being clumsy, and being able to dodge incoming obstacles.
He's also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He had been taking it until the day that he died, so he's very skilled at it.
Abilities:
-Blank-
Personality:
Mikoto is incredibly...stupid. It's not that he can't think, it's just that he chooses not to. He's too lazy to actually want to think about anything. Besides his stupidity, he's a very cheerful fellow, that always tries to stay optimistic. It can get annoying to most people, though.
Biography/History:
Mikoto was born in a small village in South Korea. He was raised there his whole life, and did normal things....that a kid from the country part of South Korea would do. One day, his parents told him to go to the city and buy some toys for his brother. So he went to Seoul, and bought some toys. When he exited the store, someone walked up to him. He grabbed the bag of toys, and sprinted away. Of course, being the stupid kid he was, Mikoto chased him. He had followed the person to a hideout for the Mafia that were on vacation. When he arrived there, they shot at him because he wasn't supposed to know where it was. He got shot once in the leg and arm, then fled. He managed to reach the city, but as soon as he did, he passed out from blood loss. The next thing he knew, he was on the ground, wearing ragged clothes. There were no buildings. There were no people. He wandered around, until he entered a village. He asked, "Where am I?" They simply laughed at him, and went back to what they were doing. One person was nice enough to explain that he had probably died. He became sad at that fact, but he was also happy. He was happy because he could explore a new, unpredictable world. And to do so, he signed up to join the Gotei 13.

Name:
Ishi Riki (stone strength)
Aliases/ Nicknames:
None yet…
Number:
Previously
-4th Espada
-Privaron Espada 104
-3rd Espada’s Fraccion
Now
-3rd Espada
Specialty:
Acrobatics / Reflex's
Unique Ability – Reverse Damage [Nurturing & Health]
(Gained from being an Espada)
Physical Description:
TEMPORARY PICTURE - - >
This short woman stands just over four and a half feet tall, making her by far one of the smallest individuals within Las Noches. Though she looks delicate and frail at a first glance, Ishi is well toned and athletically fit. Her physical fitness is made obvious with the skimpy yet functional uniform. Thick straps wrap around her shoulders which help keep her leather top onto her torso; the front of this skin tight jacket is completely unzipped from the bottom up, because of the style of her jacket, it is easy to indicate that the ‘broken zipper’ adds to the effect that perhaps her breasts broke the zipper, but in all reality the jacket was made to fit as it does without ever being zipped down.
Being tied down at the waist the black sultry obi is fashioned in a way to reveal the empty hole that is just above her pelvis. In a matter of speaking, her flowy none-pleated hakama’s have the slit inverted, leaving the insides of her thighs revealed along with her pelvis area being covered by a black thong. Though nothing brings attention to her legs other than the inverted slits, under her hakama’s are black fishnet leggings adding a slightly slutty look to her appearance.
Her arms are also hidden beneath a pair of belted down sleeves that extend well past her hands and add a slightly graceful appearance to her exotic uniform. The belts that hold each sleeve in place have three large spikes that extend firmly from the black leather belt.
At the base of her neck is a black leather spiked chocker necklace adding the final touch to her uniform giving it an extremely flirty yet deviant appearance. Lastly her hair, eye’s and lips are the same shade of bright pink, revealing her extremely girly nature. With her bubble gum hair, and sultry uniform, Ishi Riki has an extremely unique appearance, making her stand out even more from her arrancar counterparts.
Though she has no real signature stance or pose, Ishi is obviously confident in herself with the combination of her uniform and the way she carries herself with a fluid and sexual grace that seemingly illuminates herself and those she interacts with; and lastly, her uniform is designed to come off quickly with a few simple moves. The belts around her arms simply come unclipped while her waist wrap is simply un-tucked and untied allowing her to easily slip away from her baggy and restricting cloths.
Beneath her initial uniform is an even more revealing and seducing uniform, being made up of only the black thong, black fishnet leggings and sleeves, while her white jacket remains loose over her large breasts. Under the top there is nothing protecting her from the public, proving that she is extremely sultry; though it hasn’t been tested all that often, she simply claims that her top is meant to throw off her opponents in battle. Giving her just enough edge to defeat them quickly…
Zanpacuto/Fighting Style:
Reidou Etai Ira (Mother Nature’s Spine(s))
Ishi’s Ressureccion is sealed away in four long throwing needles that are decoratively placed at the base of each large pony tail in an ‘X’ figure. Each blade is simply white and with the choice of her weapon reveals her own fighting style in Ninjutsu. Originally she was no fighter, but as time continued to prove that she needed to know how to fight she began to adopt a last resort technique. Though she wasn’t particularly powerful, her unique Nurturing and Health specialty proved to be extremely effective when combined with Ninjutsu. With the new Órgano Traje Falso (Fake Body Suit) she was able to learn this technique fully on Earth until recently where she has been accepted as a black belt Ninjutsu warrior. With the combination of speed and stealth Ishi is by far capable of bringing down even the most powerful forces in Soul Society and Las Noches combined.
This fighting style calls upon speed, precision, discipline, patience and lastly; a strong will mentally, physically and spiritually…
Ressureccion:
"Ultimo Baile De El Dragon" (Final Dance of the Eastern Dragon)
By calling forth her sealed powers, large strands of ribbon appear from above her head, unrolling as if someone was tossing them around her, quickly the ribbon wraps around her entire body and melts to her form. This ribbon is white and once it completely melts and forms to her body she appears to be completely naked; however, a dramatic change occurs physically. Her upper half is relatively the same, but her legs have been completely replaced by a draconic serpents body; because the body is remotely similar to the Eastern Dragon, she is able to fly about like a fish in water.
Without the restriction’s of cloths she is able to move around more freely, but adding to her speed are fin like spikes that seemingly sprout from her shoulders, spine, elbows, and fin. Along with her bladed fins, her fingers end in long sharp talons. The main attribute that is gained from this transformation is the ability to ignore gravity, being able to freely move about in any direction. With the weight of gravity completely thrown away she is able to move twice as fast, and move twice as far. Explained later on in these descriptions are a second pair of arms that instead of ending with hands, are a pair of lance like blades that end with sharp points. These blades secrete a poison that can reverse any form of release.
Her ponytails are replaced by long antlers which resemble that of a white tail deer, and the finishing touch is the demonic and classic long devils tail, with the end fin in the shape of a heart.
But what really makes this form so devastating is the lethal Invertir (reverse) attribute she gained as Fourth Espada. Simply enough the ability allows her to reverse damage done to an object, despite when the damage was caused; as long as all of the required materials are present she could repair any object despite, flesh, or solid stone… With this said, her main attack is the Tiempo Fuera (Time Out) which completely reverses a character’s Ressureccion/Shikai/Bankai/ect. or any other form of release for a set period of time. All it takes is to be poisoned twice by her blades and a character’s spirit level will decrease and force their weapons or selves back into their sealed state. For each type of opponent depends on the set time by which they can call forth their release again; however, if even poisoned once before the release can be re-activated the set time restarts. It is also rumored that if poisoned enough times by her venom a character’s release might be permanently sealed away until a cure is found… (this is up to each and every RPer.)
RULES of TIEMPO FUERA:
(This refers to your character’s personal strength, not necessarily the rank of your character alone. If need be, a crew member will judge your character’s strength.)
Unseated Members – All release forms are sealed away for 10 posts
10th – 5th Seated members – All release forms are sealed away for 6 posts
4th – 3rd Seated Members & Non-Espada Arrancar – All release forms are sealed away for 4 posts
2nd - Captain Ranked Members & Espada ranked Arrancar – All release forms are sealed away for 2 posts
Personality:
Like her physical appearance Ishi Riki is a bubble of joy. With enough spunk to attract even the glummest people, though she hates most males she flirts with nearly anybody she comes in contact with simply because it’s how she keeps curious people interested, and keeps the weak at heart at bay. She surrounds herself with positive energies and is nearly seen trying to find the light in any situation and within any person. Atop her flirty and fun loving personality is the drive to make any situation enjoyable, and if she is attracted to a person she is bold enough to let them know subtly; because of her high energy she is always seeking new thrills, let it be picking on a strong ranked person to get a rise out of them, or to get intimate with perfect strangers simply because they are attractive. Though she isn’t known for once giving into the moment and commit adultery, she is always found teasing any person willing enough to play cat and mouse with her. As willing as she is to be chased, she loves to do just as much chasing.
Like many people, Ishi has a darker side, which is revealed whenever she performs ressureccion. An emotional wreck, she truly never really knows how she truly feels, whether it be happy, sad, depressed, angry, or even… horny. Her bubbly exterior hides the deeper distant and cold personality hidden away within her empty soul. Dealing with her problems one at a time is proving to get her nowhere, but for the time being Ishi refuses to take on more than one task at a time. Claiming that things done right the first time are better than three things rushed through quick and insincerely…
Her deepest wish is simple enough in concept, but in reality it is a feat that will be impossible to attain; she wishes to be loved or liked by all those she comes in contact with, to have all those that know her to truly and honestly like her for her and not for the extremely womanly figure on the outside. A rather pointless goal, but to each her own…
Ishi and two other Espada where responsible for killing the Captain General of Soul Society, because of this Ishi has gained a slightly "god-like" complex where it is used as another reason not to fight. Though her power proves more than worthy of any opponent that could face her, she simply refuses to fight for any reason. Unless forced into combat by physical means she will not put up her weapons to fight...
Biography/History:
Though she possesses no memories of her real past, she doesn’t know that the memories that she does possess are those of the hollows she consumed many years ago. Each memory fitting perfectly together, but all never being from the same person, with these false memories Ishi has shaped herself into the person she is today, a completely different individual she was just years before she died and became a hollow.
With time she had become fourth Espada when Aizen created his newly third generation Espada to replace the second generation that was flawed, with this third attempt Aizen has claimed that he has created an arm that will one day kick in the doors to the kings realm with or without a key. What he doesn’t know was that Ishi has no interest in his own personal goals and simply used him to collect her lost daughter, and to grant her the ability to grow in strength and power. Feeling justified with her newfound self, Ishi is now making her way towards being her own person, no longer following a greedy leader blindly. For now though, she respects authority to learn more of it…
Just recently Triox, Temor and Ishi where responsible for killing the Captain General of Soul Society. Because of this she has gained a "god-like" complex, her personality has shifted slightly to that recent achievement...
Powers:
• Caja Negación - is used to punish Arrancar subordinates by trapping them eternally in an alternate dimension. However, should the Caja Negación be used on an Espada or Captain classed character, the character will eventually break out of the alternate dimension (usually within a few hours), due to their large amount of Reiatsu.
• Invertir (Spanish for “reverse”) – Reverse the damage done to any item, let it be flesh or object; unlike other hollows, Ishi has the ability to tap into the positive rietsu that is drawn into her body naturally, and instead of feeding off of the positive energy she can use the threads of energy to lace and piece her target back together just as long as all materials needed are there to completed the missing pieces.. Ishi gained this trait as a specialty when she became Fourth Espada.
• Gritar Cero (Spanish for “scream zero”) - Like any other Hollow, Ishi possesses the ability to fire a Cero from her mouth, though it isn’t as strong as many of the other arrancar’s Cero, her’s is long winded and can be held at a steady strength for a overwhelming amount of time. Though it drains her of Rietsu rather quickly she is the only Espada that can hold the cero the longest before loosing focus.
• Bala (Spanish for "bullet") - is an Arrancar alternative to the Cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Though somewhat weaker than a Cero blast, it moves about twenty times much faster than a Cero and can be fired at a much higher rate. This technique was first demonstrated by Wonderweiss Margera against Kisuke Urahara, and elaborated upon by Yammy during the same battle.
• Gran Rey Cero (Spanish for "grand king zero") – At least three times the strength of a normal Cero, the Gran Rey Cero requires fresh blood from the caster, in Ishi’s case, she normally scratches herself with her nails and licks the blood and then sends the attack out from her mouth.
• Respiración En Respiración Fuera Cero (Spanish for "breath") - With enough warning and respecting the powers of both opponents Ishi can breath in the Cero of another Espada and exhale the breath twice it's strength and twice as fast by combining it's strength with her own Cero.
• Garganta (Spanish for "throat") - is how Arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.
• Hierro (Spanish for "iron") - refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar have proportionally stronger skin. Nnoitra Jiruga claims his Hierro is toughest amongst the Espada.
• Pesquisa (Spanish for "inquiry") - is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions similar to a sonar. Using pesquisa requires most Espada to enter a meditative state; however, Nnoitra Jiruga has a variation of this technique that involves placing his fingers to the ground to determine an opponent's approximate location as well as the amount of Spiritual Pressure an opponent has.
• Sonído (Spanish for "sound") - is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami flash steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for Flash Steps. Zommari Leroux claims that his Sonído is the fastest amongst the Espada.
• High-Speed Regeneration - is the ability that allows a hollow to heal any injuries very quickly. Hollows outside of the Menos class who exhibit this ability are very rare; and even then it is usually exclusive to the Gillian Class. For some reason, they seem to lose this ability once they evolve to Adjuchas Class…

 Name: Haishiro Imitsu [imitsu is a way to say 13, or 1 and 3 in Japanese. Haishiro means "Snow and Ash" [Snow-White; Ash-Black]
Personality: The first thing to point out about Haishiros personality is he harbours deep affections for Rhia kuchiki, bordering on romantic love-- he is deeply grieved when they stop talking. He takes it as her ignoring him. His lackadaisical nature and carefree outlook spew indifference to the point where it is overbearing, and it tends to get on others' nerves. Despite his initial introduction as a lethal foe, Haishiro later begins to play the role of the comical anti-hero: though still self-centered and violent, his actions tend to be for the best and his relationship with others is always portrayed comically. Again, he’s somewhat comical, adding a bit of levity to situations that are otherwise serious. He is usually depicted as having a very poor sense of direction. Haishiro lives for battle and enjoys a good fight more than anything. He even weakens himself in an effort to make any fight last longer. Haishiro keeps a calm demeanor in stressful situations. He has a bad problem with chronic tardiness always being late for a meeting, event, or spar. He can be a procrastinator and extremely lazy at times. Haishiro also likes telling dirty jokes. His only desire as a shinigami is to get stronger, and he see's everything from his teammates, to the other squads as simply being in the way. So he took off getting stronger somewhere else. He also seems to be rather proud, quickly taking offense when underestimated due to his rank.
Appearance: Weight: 300 kg ,Height: 188 cm, Blood: AB, Birthday: Dec 2nd, he's 21, that’s probably 500 or 700 in shinigami years. Black hair and black beard. He has pink cat eyes that make him seem mysterious to his opponent; having been curios, but curiosity killed the cat, including his third eye. Haishiro wears the regular shinigami attire, including the tabi and sandals.
 Special Accessories: His lil pet "Neko"... a half bunny/teddy-bear stuffed animal with a mod soul inside. Haishiro found him while he was traveling back and forth through the Karakura Town and soul society. Neko is child-like in most aspects, as he is small, cheerful, energetic, and carefree most of the time. he is often seen latched onto the back of haishiro, just over his left shoulder, and is somewhat territorial about this position. He is surprisingly intimidating at times, especially when annoyed. Like Haishiro, he has no sense of direction, even though haishiro relies on neko for directions. Neko resents being criticized in any way and will often attack the perpetrator. Thinking he's all powerful and mighty and then Haishiro has to step in and save him. Haishiro seems to be annoyed by Neko but deep down he loves him with all his heart. Haishiro usually calls him dweeb, homunculus, retard, geek, hey you
Skills/Abilities: Besides having a prodigious control over shunpo, Haishiro is a martial artist, and is excellent at multitasking. He's extensively trained in martial arts, particularly French kick-boxing or savate, Bajiquan, Boxing, Dambe, Fistfight, Fujian White Crane, Karate, Kenpo, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Shaolin kung fu, Taekwondo, Tangsoodo, and Wing Chun. Which coupled with his thieves training and natural human abilities, makes him a superhuman combatant. He is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, utilizing street-fighting techniques and acrobatics. Haishiro’s skill with his sword is at the master level, letting him strike multiple times with changes of attack type [from slash to pierce] without any difficulty. His skills and strength with his sword make it so he always fights with one hand free. He only uses both hands when faced against opponents he feels will kill him. Haishiro is good at catching his bait. He portrays the reflexes like a cat. Haishiro is also a excellent marksmen.
Zanpakuto:[achieved]the new 4th seat, Haishiro imitsu. All that can be said about his zanpakuto is that its blade is longer then usual zanpakutos. His zanpakuto's name is Taihoko. The belt around his waist is a leather gun belt that carries special "Breaker Shells" that can purify powerful Hollows from a great distance. Taihoko's shikai is activated with the command "erupt with blazing steel," and it becomes a flintlock-type gun with a blade affixed to the bottom of the barrel. Haishiro uses shikai to fire the Breaker Shells, but its blade is just as capable of purifying Hollows. The breaker shells theme is to break past a hollows defense which is there skin. Even the toughest skin like, lets say arrancer, but there is some downfall. The farther away the arrancer is, the less chances of the bullet even breaking through. The eye on the gun changes colors like a moon ring.
Release description:Haishiro emits a large amount of reiatsu and starts to spin the sword around his finger, the sword then lights up and starts to transform into a gun. With his finger around the trigger it finally stop's spinning.
::catapult::
These shells are his original bullets that he fires from taihoko, easily going through the toughest hollow skin and other things.
::untitled::
[kept secret] Says to be much stronger when name is spoken, but haishiro uses it without saying its true name. This ability takes up tons of reiatsu and is where haishiro eye glows pink and what he desires he can see. For instance he can focus his sight on a object and he can see where it is going. Though, the eye on his gun switches with his real eye, not literally, just the sight. When this happens he can see out from the side of the gun. So Haishiro cant be taken by any surprise attacks. In the origin of this ability it was showed that haishiro focused the eye on the soul of sara and was able to see the spirit of Rhia, but he nearly died, and survived on a whim.This takes up a large amount of reiatsu. with the turning bullets, say someone is around the corner and haishiro shoots a bullet and then makes it turn. Well focusing his sight on the bullet he can see the person with it turns before even coming in sight with the person.
::torpedo::
The shots are pushed with a little more force then usual to hit his target from a far.
::touph shot::
[kept secret]The shells start to shine green like a glow stick and he shoots rounds like machine guns.Haishiro uses his reiatsu to make the bullets change the course of there direction twice, and are a hundred times better then torpedo.
Bankai:[Not achieved]
Release description:His zanpakuto goes back into its normal state, a swirling wind circulates, around haishiro to the right or the left, depending on the Coriolis effect, to where his position is. The wind then slowly calms and finally dies out. Rocks start to float as if there weightless and at the same time, they look like there being sort of warped towards Haishiro's blade. Haishiro then puts the katana in it's scabbard. Once inside he says the call and the scabbard slowly dissipates into small sand-like particles from around the sword and exposes a larger gun.
Biography/History: Haishiro died as a baby, and thus was a baby in Soul Society. When he began to grow, people recognized his immense spiritual energy, so he was raised under the patronage of the Shiba family. He grew up along side Kukaku, selling fireworks. One day, a group of Menos Grande managed to break into the furthest districts of the Rukongai, where Haishiro and Kukaku were hawking their wares. The two tried to hold a menos back by firing fireworks at it. They were attacked and Kukaku ended up losing her arm. After that, Haishiro entered the shinigami academy and became the 4th seat of Rhia kuchiki 2nd Division. At some point while on patrol in the human world, he was attacked by a Quincy, who robbed him of his shinigami powers. He then volunteered himself to be the first to undergo the power retrieval process developed by Urahara that was later used on Ichigo. It failed and Haishiro resumed his seat in Division 2. He became a willing subject of Urahara's experiments, the most striking result of which is his third eye, which can see in infrared and ultraviolet, detect even the swiftest movement, and is capable of dissolving illusions and breaking hypnosis.

Name: Alarico (All powerful, ruler) [ala-RI-co] Number: ((Not quite sure what rank I'm given, so...) Aliases/ Nicknames: None (for now) Physical Description:Alarico is of a lean build. He has short, spiky orange hair, which is kept out of his eyes by a pair of goggles. His eyes are small and grayish-black, and they almost always seem to have an air of aloofness around them. The way Alarico looks and observes others, he seems almost always provocative, as if measuring others to see if they are strong as himself. He wears a standard arrancar uniform, but it is customised to be more tight fitting for speed combat and flexibility. He does not wear the black sashes, instead wears two belts crossed over his shoulders to hold his zanpakutos on his back, in a crossed pattern.  Zanpakto & Resurreccion: Zanpakuto: Sealed form: In its sealed form his zanpakutos exist as a pair, strapped across his back. The centre of the swords are hollow for blood-letting after making a cut, so the opponent would bleed more from the cut. Resurrection (Not achieved) Description: The name of his zanpakuto is Aguila (Eagle), and the release command is "Scream and deafen the skies, Aguila." In its resurrection Alarico gains a pair of wings-like structures protruding from his back (like the picture), each with a sickle attached that provides him with extra weapons. His arms and hands also transform into talons for ripping and shredding. His legs transform into something similar to a deer’s hooves, which provide him with stronger leg muscles for better running and jumping strength. His hair grows much longer and extends down his back, much like his appearance when he was a hollow. His hollow mask also disappears.
Description:
The first ability of the resurrection is that it consumes Alarico's reiatsu and the wing blades vibrates at an extremely high frequency, at a supersonic level, so high that normal eyes are unable to see it (captains and Espadas maybe). Because of its vibrations, it produces a very quiet humming sound that no normal human, arrancar or shinigami ears are able to hear (again, captains and espadas maybe). The high frequency of vibrations, coupled with the jagged edge, allows the zanpakuto to basically cut through anything even if the material is stronger than itself. It provides an advantage in both long and short fights. In short fights, if Alarico strikes quickly then he can cause fatal wounds in the opponent's body in a matter of minutes, even seconds. In a long fight, the opponent's blade will gradually be weakened by Aguila's constant slashes, and eventually the opponent's zanpakuto will shatter. Aguila’s ability and structure has two main purposes: to end the fight as quickly as possible, or to disarm the opponent.
The second ability is called "Sonar", and it is passive: Aguila causes Alarico's speed to double when he wields it. This greatly enhances Alarico’s ability to use Sonido, as it would even create multiple mirages of him to confuse the opponent. This is to ensure that he will at least land one hit against tougher opponents. However, the downside is that the longer the battle keeps up, the more reiatsu will be drained and Asano will be more tired.
The third ability is called "Ruido Canon" and its ability is to combat long ranged so that Alarico is not limited to short range combat and left vulnerable when the opponent is far away. By swinging the blades as quickly as possible downwards, the hollowed middle of the blade produces a high pitched scream, much like how a whistle works. The scream is so loud that if the opponent does not cover his ears, his eardrums will burst and he will go deaf. The purpose of this attack is to make the opponent vulnerable, and to force an opening.
The fourth ability is called "Pajaro Helar" and it is to distort the opponent's movements when the opponent is cut. The supersonic frequency sounds will enter the opponent's body through their wound, and paralyse them. However, this only works for a few minutes (1 post) and only on the injured body part. This is why the more important the body part, the more severe the effects.
E.g. If Alarico cuts the opponent's arm, then the opponent's arm will be paralysed for a few minutes.
If Alarico manages to cut the opponent's head (not beheading), then the opponent's whole body will be paralysed for a few minutes.Special Accessories: Alarico wears a pair of goggles that can protect his eyes from dust and sand if the opponent is a wind type user. He also wears a pair of metal plated gauntlets with a dragon design on it, to defend himself from oncoming attacks.  Abilities: Alarico, because of his zanpakuto's nature, has an extremely enhanced hearing, to the extent that he can hear his own zanpakuto's consistent humming. His speed is also of top notch among his class, because of his zanpakuto's nature. However, for the enhanced speed he pays for it for the lack of strength, therefore before each of his battles he has to strategise before he makes a move. Personality: Alarico is usually collected and level headed, but in battle he gains a gleam in his eyes, like a thirst for battle. This has derived from his years and years of constant battle and fights for survival in Hueco Mundo. In his first time in meeting a person, he would appear as though he is cocky. In fact, this is not his true nature, and acting cocky is his way of determining if the opponent is weak at heart or not. Those who are weak at heart would succumb to his seemingly powerful self, while those who are not would retort with a threat. As well as that, his years of living in Hueco Mundo as a solitary hollow has shaped his personality and skills into that of a born killer. Because of this, he does not hesitate to kill those who get in his way... Biography/History: When Alarico was a Adjucas, he was a winged, griffon-like creature that roamed the skies of Hueco Mundo. Back then he was greatly feared for his power, and he sought for stronger, more powerful opponents to fight and eat to become stronger. He was one of the rare hollows who had the correct physiology that allowed flight and speed, which allowed him to dominate the skies. For over 50 years he fought for survival and power in Hueco Mundo alone. He had no real goal, apart from to prove himself and make his name feared throughout Hueco Mundo. It was then Aizen noted his strength, and offered him a chance to become even stronger—to become an Arrancar in Las Noches. At first he resented the idea of working for someone else, but he saw this chance as his opportunity to make himself known throughout Hueco Mundo. At first, he did not expect so many other strong arrancar to be present and he overestimated himself. Overtime and due to punishments and beatings from other stronger arrancar for his cockiness, he has learnt to keep to his rank and think twice before crossing someone. He has learnt not to anger the espada, and instead treat them with respect. That though, he vowed would not last long... Powers: None (for now) When Alarico became an arrancar: "What do you think of becoming an arrancar?"Aizen Sosuke's voice sounded calm as he spoke to the griffon-like hollow in front of him. Alarico was glaring at the three shinigami in front of him with narrowed eyes, judging their strength. If there was only one of them, he would have killed him there and now just to get him out of the way. With three of them however, Alarico knew that he would stand little chance. Proud and dignified as he was, he was no fool and knew the extents of his own power. Unlike the countless foolish hollows before him who perished because of their foolishness. Alarico's eyes travelled quickly over Aizen, Gin and Tousen. Despite Aizen's gentle look, he could tell that this was a killer who would do anything to achieve his goals, including murder and killing. Ichimaru Gin, to his opinion, was someone completely unreadable. With his smiling face and narrowed eyes, his expression never revealed anything, but somehow Alarico knew that this was a shinigami to be careful of. Kaname Tousen, on the other hand, was the least of Alarico's concerns. To him, Tousen seemed to be a man of great goals--in fact, his goals were too great for his own good. A man who follows Aizen blindly for the sake of justice? Ha! True justice never exists in the world, an impossible goal, why would any man aim for that in the first place? "Why have you chosen me?"Alarico asked in a deep growling voice, to investigate further before he made his desision. Aizen seemed to smile for a moment, though Alarico could not tell if it was a smirk or a genuine smile. "I have noticed your strength and the fire which burns in your eyes--you are an adjucas with great ambition and potential. Here, htere is no way your potential can further develop. With the power of an arrancar however, your power will be greatly increased. Do you accept?"Alarico's red eyes narrowed, and he shuffled his mutated wings as he pondered. Gin's grin seemed to widen, and he leaned over to whisper something to Aizen. "Are you sure about that Aizen-sama? He doesn't seem that powerful for an adjucas.Alarico's enhanced hearing picked up the whispered words, and his anger flared. "Weak? I'm not weak, Ichimaru. Want me to prove it?Aizen and Ichimaru both seemed taken back by Alarico's determination and pride, and Aizen nodded his head in approval. "No, I don't believe you're weak. But I believe you have the potential to become even greater."By now, Alarico knew the answer. To become greater, he would have to sacrifice his dignity as a lone fighter and serve someone more powerful. "Yes, I accept." He replied with his eagle head helt high, his wings spread and his feet squarely apart. It was a posture of pure confidence. The moonlight of Hueco Mundo seemed to glance off his wing blades, giving it an unnatural shine. Alarico was ready.

Name: Hanon Doumoto (Ha-non Doh-moh-toh)
Age: 19
Ranks Held:
Squad 8 captain and Squad 8 lieutenant (x2)
Physical Appearance: A short girl (5'5") with white hair. She is not very muscular and very light wieght. She is normally seen walking around in an espada or a captain uniform with her zanpacutou mounted horizontally on her back, at waist-level. However, lately she has been dressing more exotic or westernized since the three years have past, but she is still seen parading in the other outfits.  Hallow MaskZanpacutou: Jirashin While sealed, Jirashin is a simple katana with a korean "temple" symbol around its hilt. (Like the nazi symbol except straight and not tilted sideways.) Shikai: Her zanpacutou becomes made of hard dense ice that. Its density can be changed at any time she wishes. She can control any form of water, depending on how much reiatsu she uses. So she prefers to use ice as her main attack because it requires the least amount of reiatsu. Bankai: During Hanon's first stage of bankai her zanpacutou becomes a polearm made of ice, allowing her to change its dimensions: (size, weight, density, etc.). Her speed and strength are greatly increase, giving her a more offensive edge than her shikai. In her second stage, she summons a white dragon that leaves a trail of ice anywhere it goes. The dragon is very powerful, quick, and has its own mind to make its own decisions. Its primary concern is to protect Hanon, but it will attack when it feels she is safe. Hanon's third stage requires her dragon to completely solidify the field with ice. The ice will turn a purplish-black and the edges of the ice will shoot up and make a dome. Hanon can move into the dome and move through the dome walls as she wishes. This requires a great amount of reiatsu however. Her dragon guards the outside of the dome to keep away intruders, but Hanon can summon it inside if she wants. Special Accessories: Hanon wears a blue shell necklace and a star shaped hairpin that she has always had. She also has a piece of customized aluminum alloy/Iron (right) bracer that she wears (Courtesy of Shimobashira Kiba of Squad 3). It is light and solid, so she can protect herself from sneak attacks, or when she becomes unarmed, but it is not meant to be used often. Skills: Hanon is smart and uses her brains in battle, whether it shows or not. She is also very fast and prefers to keep her zanpacutou on the light-weight side because she fights more defensively. Personality: Hanon is shy, put not afraid to speak her voice when she needs to. She likes to spend most of her time reading books, but occasionally goes out with her friends in the soul society or the living world. Biography/History:
Human/Living: Hanon died at the age of 15. It all started when she was suffering from clinical depression, after she was raped by her ex for several months. Hanon had many thoughts of suicide, but could never pull herself out of it. One day while she was walking home from a group therapy session, she decided to take a detour to her friends house unannounced. When she walked in she found her friend being attacked by her ex. Frantic she began to run out of the house and tried to run to the police station, but it was a fruitless effort. Her ex ran after her and shot Hanon with two shots, one in her right leg the other in her heart. Wandering Soul: After Hanon was shot, her soul wandered the town for several weeks. She wanted to make sure that her ex got what he deserved. It turned out that after she died, the police came and arrested him. He did not hurt her friend, which Hanon was thankful for, and her ex was convicted of Murder and Assault. Hanon was still uneasy about her friend, and felt like she had to do more before she went. But things only got worse, vicious monsters began to attack her and though she was able to escape some of them, they would just keep coming. One time, she was nearly devoured by one the the beast, but a strange man with a weird sword came and saved her. He sent her to the soul society and told her, "Your friend is gonna be okay." This put Hanon's heart at ease and she went willingly to the Soul Society. Shnigami: Hanon started off in Shinigami Academy only a couple months after coming to the Soul Society. She passed with flying colors and graduated near the top of her class. Hanon started scout out squads, and decided to join squad 10. She failed to receive any training from her squad leaders, due to the squad being highly overcrowded. She was accepted by a "private" trainer, who was able to improve her skills greatly. Through her training, she was able to prove her fighting qualities and was able to become the Vice-Captain of Squad 8 under Captain Hano. After the death of her beloved captain, she took over the squad and began to rebuild it. However, during this time, a feud began to arise and she relinquished her position after a great hassle over the squad. She agreed to serve as a temporary vice-captain under the new captain, but she had made up her mind to set her goal on a different path. She had received an offer from her former "private" trainer to become a vaizard which she gladly accepted, leaving the Sereitei behind her.

Name: Kiba Shimobashira (Key-bah She-mo-bah-sheer-ah)
Aliases/ Nicknames: The CrimsonGhost...
Physical Description: Kiba is a little shorter than the average person at about 5'5". His build is of someone who works out through his traveling and not the weight room (he is physically fit but not "built" or "stacked"). After the three years of not working in the forge Kiba's natural hair color finally shows through, red. Working in that soot, ash and greased up environment basically all of the time would stain his hair black, hence why this color had not been seen before. He wears a black form-fitting t-shirt with a single grey strip going down the shoulders and arms. Kiba also wears a set of cargo pants (also black) with a heavy-duty set of boots. Another item he wears is his set of goggles. They are made out of what looks like steel frames and the glass almost looks like obsidian. The last item is a cute little panda backpack. It has no story significance but was given to me by a good friend so i wear it as a tribute to them. This attire is not normal for a run of the mill shinigami, but Kiba is not a run on the mill shinigami...he's American.
Zanpacto: (ATTAINED) Kiba’s Zanpaku-to is a Wakizashi, black in color and as light as air. He wears this across his back for now but has three loops on his pants to wear it also on his left or right.
Shikai Calling: “With the heat of a thousand Suns! Foji-Raka"
Shikai: (ATTAINED) Kiba's shikai is a complete change to his fighting style. When released the shikai seems to be nothing more than than his already black gloves and boots geting red lines all over them. Later revealed to have nothing to do with the gloves or boots really this shikai's base ablility is to heat his hands and feet to such a high temperature that they can melt skin by a mere touch, singe through wood with a swing, and melt solid metal with a firm grab. This shikai cannot hurt Kiba in any way because all of the attacks are made of his reastu amplified by his shikai.
Foji-Cero: (ATTAINED) This attack allows Kiba to create a ball of highly concentrated forge fire energy. He after creating it has to punch it to release a beam similar to the hollow's cero beam in form, except its effect is spiritual burning and push-back.
Fo-ji Kasai: (ATTAINED)This ability is manifested through the gloves themselves. When Kiba learned to use his shikai he gained access to this attack by entering what is called the “Over-Heat” mode. The invocation of this mode caused the gloves to literally burst into a brilliant white flame. He can call up bon-fire sized explosions with a flick of the wrist. This ability is a dangerous one and cannot be used often or in rapid succession for a long period of time.
Foji-Cresent: (ATTAINED) This involves Kiba having to do a kick that sweeps wide. As he does this the boot being kicked will ignite, and as the kick sweeps across the air it releases a devastating crescent moon shaped arc that travels at pretty high speeds to burn the opponent pretty severely.
Kasai-Forging: (ATTAINED) This ability is most likely the very antithesis of all of Kiba's shikai. After this ability was learned Kiba's gloves were able to now create fire with only a tiny input of Kiba's energy that is then amplified to create fire in streams or as a general spray. But when Kiba molds that fire, that is when this ablility is really shown. Once molded (merely by willing so) the reastu fire created superheated weapons that only exist while in contact with Kiba. With this he can basically make weapons of any size and shape, a whole armory at his fingertips. Kasai Forging can now be used with metal to make actual objects in seconds that are permanent. His reastu weapons can be polished off (cooled down) so that he can hand them off to fellow fighters (giving them access to a superheated version of their weapons (only in shape...not in powers).
Bankai Calling: The creed listed below...
Bankai: (NOT YET ATTAINED) Kiba will not learn this form most likely for a very longtime. It is the embodiment of all that is a smith. See...Kiba cannot touch metal with his bare hands because of his reastu having the undeniable appetite to turn all metals into a Obsidian material that can be manipulated by his reastu alone. This attack is the end all be all of his attacks. It pulls all works that he has ever created into forms that are made from the black material. They are at Kiba's disposal...and he does use them There are 2 stages to this Final attack. The first is the basic one. Swords, Sheilds, metalWorks all initially fall from the sky and stick into the ground where from Kiba can pull them and use them as he wishes. They are all superheated so one may try to pick it up but unless they can deal with fire hot enough to melt metal they wont be able to. He must call this Final Attack into existence and he does so by saying its creed (Shown Below). The second half is where he just calls down raining volleys of swords, sheilds, and other sharp weapons he's created. This is a hugs drain on Kiba to do this portion of the attack and he most likely will pass out after using it or at least not be able to walk on his own... The Creed is as such:
I am the Stone of my sword...
The Forge is my Body...
And Fire is my Blood...
I have Created over a Thousand Works...
Known all to Life...
And None to Death...
My hands have bled to create these works...
Yet they will never hold again...
So as I Pray...
Obsidian Blade Works...
Special Accessories: Kiba has three “special accessories” that he carries. The first and probably the most important are the goggles [Attained] that he wears on his head. See, Kiba isn’t the best at finding the Reastu strings and reading peoples reastu. These goggles help him with that , showing people’s diagnostics, as well as info on materials and structural info on zanpacto. It does not give him any prying abilities into people special powers or anything…but it does let him know things like heart rate, chemical levels, species, temperature, and health conditions. It also give an X5 zoom on his vision if he so chooses. These are an extension of himself. They are created from the goggles that he was wearing when he died (The glass simply shaded over). The glass in them reacts to his reastu and his alone.
His innocent looking panda backpack (2) [Attained] (created by a fiend back home) has a soft outside but holds a heavy set of tools (3). These he uses to work on zanpacto.
Skills: Kiba’s skills are more useful off the battlefield rather than on. He works on, fixes Zanpaku-to. He carries the tools he needs to use on him at all time, but removes the pack for battle. He will (like back home) set up a forging area when he can in one of the squads when he gets accepted. All are welcome to get there weapons fixed and for contracting on any projects of new items needed…
Abilities: Kiba is generally a smart person. He since he was a child was considered an excelled learner and thinker. His reputation precedes him these days because he is a layed back person that does not like to over think things now. But when he needs to…he can be as sharp as most zanpacto. He also can be incredibly fast when need be. He has to be since hes not overly strong. He trains hard to learn Kidou but is not terribly good at them. He worked really hard to get good at one, Kidou 4: White Lightning.
Personality: Kiba is generally a layed back person. He doesn’t like to argue, he likes to work and is a good teammate in that he cares for those who he fights beside. No, his eyes are not closed…he just looks that way. One thing that you have to know about him is that he is not one to be pushed down upon. He is your friend until you prove your not…but when you do…it won’t be pretty. He doesn’t like traitors and will not stand for stepping of rank.
Biography/History: Kiba grew up in America, and he's proud of that fact even though his origins are from Japan. He was born in Japan and his Mom and Dad moved him over here so the family could start a new life. Here he was pushed to do well in school like any Japanese family would expect from their eldest son. And he did excel, until he reached his college years. He rebelled from his parents right before the end of school and started to take up his fathers business because Maito was too sick to continue to do his job. But Kiba went full throttle through the years of schooling and wanted a break from the brain work. His sharpened mind picked apart every one of the cars that entered his fathers maintenance shop, and he found a passion in motors and how they worked.
As his father was reaching the end of his life, one of his families long time friends (Joe Kilowsky) got greedy. He always wanted to take over the business for Maito and was adamant about doing this the closer Maito got to death's grasp. One night Maito was downstairs working on his 69' Mustang when Joe came into the shop unannounced. There was a tussel in which Kiba's father was held underneath a car as the jack was slowly released down upon him. What the family didnt know was that the reason that Joe wanted the shop so bad was because it would have made a prime spot for a chop-shop. Kiba that night went downstairs to see how his father was doing considering the shop was located at the downstairs of their house. What he found there was somthing that would change him forever...his fathers body crushed under one cherry red 69' Mustang Hardtop with cold air intake and brand new exhaust. Somthing inside him snapped as he lost all reasoning and logic...
The next morning the paper's headline read "One man...a car...and 6 Men dead." Kiba had taken his fathers Mustang, and driven it into Joey's house. He had chased 6 men down the street and murdered them mercilessly with the only thing he could grab on the way out that could express his anger enough...a chainsaw. Finally, when he got to Joe Kilowsky he was enraged, bloodthirsty, and not done yet. Unfotunately, with the loss of logic and reasoning comes somthing else...blind rage and stupidity. The exact term that cockily rang out of Joes mouth was simply..."Ya stupid Jap...dont ya know? U never bring a knife to a gun fight..." Four shots echoed off in the distance as Joey Kilosky walked away from the situation...never to be brought in for the crime that he committed.
Nowadays Kiba spends his days in Japan. The local dispatch of Shinigami in the Americas were called out to the scene with several death occurring in such a small area. They thought it was a hollow feasting but found this lost soul named Shimobashira Kiba. They heard his story and gave him the choice..."Pass on or Join us Soul..." And he chose to live on in the Shinigami from that day forward. He eventually was shipped back to his homeland. He hopes to find a place in this world since his life was ended to abruptly in the other.

He would gladly sacrifice his happiness and life just to save others or make them happy. At times, if Banrazor allows, Ryuu can become in sinq with Banrazor. This allows Ryuu to take possession of Banrazor’s body, changing his personality to that of an insane animal. His fighting style also changes.
Biography/History: Not much is known about him as he doesn't like to talk about his past, what others do know is that he suffered greatly as a human because of his high reaitsu which attracted hollows. He died protecting a young human girl, who also had high reaitsu, by quenching the hollows thirst with his own soul, after wandering around in Hueco Mundo for 133 years he fought a captain and lost, marking the beginning of his journey in the soul society.......

(( I just realized exactly what this profile is missing: CHARACTER ART. I am the only Captain in this guild without, well, any! ))
Name: Ryan Feldric
Age: Appears 17, but his "true" age based on his date of birth is 80 years old (he was born in 1931).
Physical Description: Ryan is about six feet tall, with green eyes, and what would seemingly be an average build. He doesn't show much muscle in his arms; more of his muscle seems to be focused into his legs. His hair is just down to the bottom of his neck in back, but he keeps it out of his eyes and pushes the sides so that most, but not all of his ears are covered. He is also slightly tanned, due to his upbringing.
Zanpakuto:
Ryan's zanpakuto is really a standard katana, however, the hand guard is red with golden trim, and the handle has red interwoven with black. There is also a ruby cut in the shape of a maple leaf set into the end of the handle.
Shikai:
Maikokorozashi (My will)
Ryan's zanpakuto grows longer, forming more of a ribbon than a blade, however, it can in theory be infinitely long, and gains this shape by gathering spirit particles around the actual blade. It is extremely flexible, to the point where it can be used not only to cut like a sword, but to bind and hold like a rope or whip, but if it is bent too much, it will separate and the seperate part will disperse. There is no real other way to break it though, as it functions as a solid, strong ribbon and not like a bakudo.
Bankai: First stage -- Maikokorozashi shoutenranmyaku (my will -- focused chaos)
Ryan's clothing changes from whatever he is wearing into black armor with silver trim over a black bodysuit, giving him the appearance of a black knight, though he lacks a helmet. Instead of a sword and shield, though, Ryan has a cannon mounted over his left arm, which also can convert into a minigun that can fire at a rate of 200 rounds per minute; the rounds are more like shells, though, meaning that they will explode on impact. Ryan's cannon fires a charged shell of reishi that will explode with the force of "Little Boy", the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, at full power on impact, though without any of the ambient radiation. Ryan can also form walls and simple weapons or objects out of ambient reishi, but nothing more than that.
Another effect that the bankai stage has is on Ryan's personality. He will partially unite with his zanpakuto spirit while in bankai and become almost a different person, completely focused and with almost no emotion whatsoever. His hair will lengthen slightly as well, and his voice will become a cold blend of his own and his spirit's lighter, almost ethereal voice as a result of this.
Second stage -- Ryan hasn't quite achieved this yet, however, he has been preparing for it, which has made him stronger even without his bankai.
Special Accessories: Ryan will usually carry his old Colt Single Action Army revolver and an ammunition belt with 45 bullets, giving him 50 (Ryan will always leave an empty chamber under the hammer to protect the firing pin) total rounds. These are mostly normal bullets, but Ryan was able to dig up some old records about spirit bullets and fashion five rounds for his Colt. He also has three rounds for his Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifle, which he will sometimes take with him on missions. There is only one problem - Ryan only made two test rounds, and one of casings burst inside of the chamber of his rifle.
Skills: Ryan was a good marksman in life, able to use a bow and arrow as well as a rifle, shotgun and revolver with some expertise each. He has also discovered that he is quite adept at strategy and logic, skills he never really used until he got to Soul Society.
Abilities: Due to his upbringing, Ryan has developed good strength and stamina, being able not to run quickly but being good at running longer distances. He is also quite intelligent, but his upbringing prevented him from utilizing that.
Ryan's reiatsu could also be considered odd. Unlike most shinigami whose reiatsu will normally push outward and have an effect on a fairly large area depending on their reiatsu, Ryan's affects a much smaller area (currently, a radius of about three to six feet), and the area immediately around him (half a foot to a foot) will be completely calm, like the eye of a storm. This could be attributed to Ryan's ability to focus tightly and lock onto a target with impeccable accuracy, as he was once told that he was so calm, it was as if the wind bent itself around him and he became the eye of a storm.
Personality: Ryan tries to be social, but is usually quiet about himself. He is polite and respectful, but the best way to get on his nerves is to ask him about himself, as he doesn't like recounting his own story due to a dislike for being pitied by the masses. His one exception to this is if he comes to consider someone as a mentor or a very good friend, but even then he will only talk alone and ask that what he says be kept secret.
Bio (this is the last three years and will be added to his thread in the Creative Writing forum): After the incident with the prisoners, Ryan immediately brought up a contingency plan he'd made in case the Sereitei were to be invaded and the Gotei 13 forced to abandon it. While it was distributed (with some confusion at first), the arrancar invaded almost immediately and the plan didn't go off as smoothly as Ryan would have liked. Some were lost in action, some were killed, but the plan was an overall success, and Ryan soon had the shinigami installed underneath his property. With that said, Ryan got what could be called a "day job". Or, more accurately, a "day life".
Really, what he did was return to his old life. He would wake up at dawn, do his early shooting practice, have breakfast, go through his morning training routine and do more practice, have lunch, do any work that needed to be done for farming and around the house, as well as keep both the old Model T and his RX-8 in shape, possibly take the RX-8 for a drive around the plains even. At dusk, he'd go in and put the stove on, then go underground to his office and do some of his paperwork while his dinner was cooking. He'd eat dinner in his house, then take a walk around the headquarters complex, going to some of the social areas to try to get himself used to a social life, or to train with some of his squad members, or just making sure the preliminary stages of his strategy to retake Soul Society were in place. If something weighed on his mind, he would take off to his own personal training simulation room and run his "Crystal Forest" program in order to just sit and think.
And then, of course, there were his regular visits to fourth squad. On many of his walks around the complex, he always seemed to find a way to put 4th somewhere on his route, and even if his route completely missed it he'd somehow get lost in thought and wander over there. When he was there, he'd always linger if he could, doing what he could to help Envy and spend some time with her. It wasn't a distraction that he minded, either, which should have been an oxymoron considering how much he hated distractions.
