Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Airiya [Eye-ree-yuh] Rarou [Ra-roo]

(Age) : Looks to be approximately twelve to thirteen years of age.

Physical Description:

Airiya stands no more than a slight 4'4" and has a build just as unimpressive, her body thin and pale, almost sickly in appearance. In contrast, her dark-green eyes shine exuberantly with life and fervor. Her hair, a pure snow-white, is kept to seemingly obsessive good condition as it travels down to the mid of her back.

Zanpakutou :

Name: Shizenshimi

=Unreleased= Not Yet Achieved

While unreleased, Airiya's Zanpakutou is in the form of a Shirasaya.

Picture of a Shirasaya : Here

[Description of the Shirasaya as a weapon] : The Shirasaya is noted for its simplicity -- it consists of nothing more than a blade, hilt, and the bare necessities to hold the two together. The major downfall of the Shirasaya is that it has no guard and that the hilt is generally hard to grip, making it all too easy for injury should a sword slide down during a guard or a hand to slide up the hilt and onto the blade itself. As such, it is not commonly used for battle purposes.

=Shikai= Not Yet Achieved

Activation Phrase : "Sprout, Shizenshimi"

In the initial release, Shizenshimi takes on the form of a Kusarigama (Sickle with Chain)

Picture of a Kusarigama : Here

[Description of a Kusarigama as a weapon] : Usage of the Kusarigama most commonly entailed using the chain (by throwing the weighted end) to disable an opponent before finishing the victim with the sickle. Attacking with the sickle at long-range with the use of the chain is often ineffective although some disciplines exist to teach such a skill.

A notable difference between the initial release form of Shizenshimi and the Kusarigama in the picture is that Shizenshimi is visually more appealing, its blade and handle gently curving to form a slight wave-like form. The handle is a stygian black while the blade itself has a gentle green line going along its outside (not sharp) edge from the point.

Natural Ability : The green line is a small amount of very small seeds that, should they make their way into a wound, will proceed to take root and eventually eat at the victim's Reiatsu, acting as a delayed poison that slowly grows stronger over time. [Note that the green seeds are generated by the weapon itself and almost immediately replenish]. The most effective way at removing the seeds is to release a burst of Reiatsu through the body in order to overpower them (although the necessary Reiatsu needed increases as the roots dig deeper, so it is best done as close to the initial infection as possible). Note that each attack also releases the small seeds in the air, as well, so it is more than possible for them to find your wound if you stray too close to the attack but do not get directly hit. Inhaling the said seeds (unless you have a wound in your nose or mouth) will result in no effect as the seeds rely on blood to start and continue their growing process.

(Miscellaneous Info) : If a target runs out of Reiatsu (and dies) then the seeds will bloom into a flower that has a size and beauty dependent on how much Reiatsu was eaten [therefore, if a person with a high spirit power is infected and eventually dies because the seeds eat all of his Reiatsu, the resulting flower will be larger and more beautiful than if a regular citizen (with a low Reiatsu) was infected]. Flowers can only escape the body in the wounds that they entered, however, and the amount is determined by the size of said wound and the size of the flowers. If a seed determines that it will be unable to escape through a wound due to size or other such restrictions, it will share its Reiatsu with another seed that can. Therefore, if two people with the same Reiatsu were infected, the one with a wound only big enough for one flower will have one that is bigger and more beautiful than the other person who has a wound large enough for four or five.

=Bankai= Not Yet Achieved

Activation : The Initial Release form's blade must be thrust into Airiya's torso. Should it remain in there long enough for the seeds to begin taking root (which takes longer the weaker Airiya is), the Kusarigama will disappear and the Bankai will begin.

[Airiya is initially weaponless in this form]

Airiya's Bankai operates opposite that of her Shikai -- whereas the seeds would normally take root and then absorb one's Reiatsu, the seeds take root and then steadily supply Airiya with Shizenbishi's Reiatsu. At first, this is evidenced purely by a general increase in physical abilities as well as regenerative ability but, over time, should the bankai not end, more and more abilities will be given to Airiya as the seeds' roots grow deeper and more Reiatsu can be offered [as said before, in pure contrast to the Shikai].

This, of course, puts a major strain on Airiya's body, with the strain increasing as the amount of Reiatsu given to her in this manner increases.

Special Accessories:

None

Skills:

She is quite adept at using (and being used by) her instincts.

Abilities:

Airiya is naturally gifted with intelligence. Though most of it is wasted as she lacks the patience to think things through, it does make it easier for her to grasp concepts, making her an apt learner. Thanks partially to her rather slight body build, she is naturally gifted with speed though she lacks notable physical strength.

Personality:

Airiya is fairly simple, her mind devoted to the here and now rather than the past or future and her perceptions limited. Because of this, she rarely thinks things through and seeks self-gratification whenever possible. Because of her past, she has been warped to the point that she immensely enjoys watching death though the most joy is found when she is the cause. Ironically, it is for this very same reason that she is almost never phased, and rarely, if ever, becomes angry or sad through natural means. Her obsession with instant gratification transfers over to next to no patience and may oftentimes cause her to be a slave to her instincts. She almost always has a child-like innocence and happiness about her.

Biography/History:

Airiya lived a rather normal life -- she had her own circle of best friends and lived in an everyday household with a family that loved her. She was a diligent student and her favorite activities commonly involved learning of some kind, be it by listening to stories of old or even paying visits to the library. Books that others her age would pass over were being read and reread with a smile and while others dreamed being firemen, she fancied herself more along the lines of being a teacher or an author, and as she grew ever the older, the possibility looked more and more a reality. She was on her way to a full life.

It was at about this time that she became the next victim in a recent string of kidnappings. Abused and beaten, her happiness was pulled right from under her and she quickly fell into a depression. At the deepest stages, she lost all touch with life and nearly killed herself if not for a newcomer who let the blade run through his hand to prevent her death. Shocked by his selfless act and ashamed by her own, she pledged her life to the boy in gratitude.

When the people in command found the wound she had indirectly caused, however, the grew furious. In order to make an example of what they believed to be a violent child, they killed her then and there. At this point, Airiya would've been free if it hadn't been for the pledge she had made to the boy.

Her pledge made but her life ended, she was bound to him for what would seem to be an eternity. Every day, she became more and more warped by the negative feelings and scenes she was forced to endure as a bound spirit, time stretching off into infinity. After so long without peace, she was lost -- her spirit was forced to adapt in order to retain her sanity so she not only grew accustomed to the pain and death of the area, but slowly began to enjoy it.

After that point was reached, the Hollow transformation became more and more likely, her spirit chain growing shorter and shorter with each passing day and her mentality grew to reflect it. She wanted to kill that boy that had forced her to endure such Hell and, as the white mask of death slowly enveloped her face and her newfound claws lashed at the person she had been bound to for so long, she felt herself more at peace than she ever had experienced before. Even as the sharp edge of a Zanpakutou made its way cleanly through her body, the smile remained on her face.

Name: Takeshi Akiyama

Aliases/ Nicknames: Rocky

Physical Description: Rocky
Rocky's hair is red, and his skin color is a light shade of tan. His eyes are a greenish blue.
Zanpacto: Murabaka

Unreleased: Murabaka takes the form of a jian, or a double-edged straight sword. Murabaka is one handed in this form, and it is able to revert back to it after becoming its shikai or bankai form. Murabaka is dull, except for its tip, which is razor sharp. Its sides cannot be sharpened by any means unnecessary, and in the event it is sharpened, it will dull in only a few uses of the blade. Almost to combat this weakness, the blade is inherently strong, yet slightly flexible, which makes it difficult to break.

Shikai: (NOT YET ACCOMPLISHED) The Shikai form of Murabaka is large and squarish, like an executioner's blade. The blade is dulled, like the unreleased form, yet is has no tip like the unreleased. In its own way, Murabaka is incredibly useful like this, because its possible to fight somebody without completely killing them (great for capturing spirits alive). When need be, Rocky can use his own spirit pressure to sharpen the blade, and make it lethal.

Bankai: (NOT YET ACCOMPLISHED) Murabaka's Bankai form, Murabaka Momiji-keiri, turns the Murabaka into a more compact square blade. The width before is the same, but is centered, instead of off-centered like the first one. On one side, the blade is razor sharp, and on the other, the blade is blunted. Rocky's Shinigami Uniform turns red and orange, instead of black and white (respectively). Translucent red maple leaves made of spiritual energy float and slowly fall all around the battlefield. Also, in this form, the spirit of Murabaka can be summoned.

The spirit Murabaka is a Jiang Shi, or a Chinese Vampire, wearing an orange and red robe and hat, with a exorcising sutra hanging from its hat and covering the middle of its face. Murabaka's face is very mocking and cocky, yet unintelligent and simple. If one hadn't yet talked to him, his face would almost seem sly, when in truth, it's almost sheer stupidity. Murabaka has three long, yellow claws on each of his arms, usually shrouded underneath his long, regal-looking sleeves. Murabaka isn't very strong in truth, but is very fast, allowing him to attack at lightning speed. With such speed, the outcome is similair to a cat o' ninetails (shreds the skin and muscle directly beneath it).


Special Accessories: Rocky has a black and light blue hat that he had for years in the living world after he bought it at some odd shop of little importance (see pic)

Skills: In life, Rocky was good with a gun, any gun, and still maintains that talent. Besides that, he is a very good strategist, and is quite intelligent otherwise, able to pick up concepts before anyone else.

Abilities: Rocky has a lean, fit body, and is mildly strong and fast; not necessarily the best, but above average. He has very good hearing from his Spec Ops Training in life, and has a decent eye for details.

Personality: Rocky was a perfect soldier in the living, taking every order in, and completing it to his best, and above all, never questioned his orders. In a way, Rocky sees the world in black and white; what he is doing is good, and what ever opposes him must be bad. Even orders he took in life that were questionable, he would complete without thought of the repercussions that his actions had. When Rocky finally got to a position that he was giving the orders, he very well did consider the effects that his actions had, but it never quite stopped him from following his order. Outside of that, Rocky is a very relaxed person, and isn't easily annoyed.

Biography/History: In life, Rocky joined the military, and made his way in the ranks of the army by taking dangerous missions, no matter how insane they where. Soon enough, he was offered a job in a special forces team, and from there on, he trained and trained, and in the group, brought many crime syndicates to their knees. In the mean time, he rose in the ranks and became the leader of the group. Many times, he was the target of assassinations, but always came out alive. Ironically, in the end, Rocky died from choking on an apple... The news spread of his defeat, and crime sprung back up. For a few weeks, Rocky haunted his enemies, and almost became a Hollow. Just as he was about to be devoured, he was saved by a shinigami, and from there, he knew just what he had to become in the next life, a Soul Reaper.

Name: Metame Monoshi

Aliases/ Nicknames: Met

Physical Description: Met maintains an appearance that makes him as indistinct as possible. His hair and eyes are a neutral shade of brown, his skin is not tanned, yet not pale either. He bears no distinguishing marks anywhere on his body. He speaks in a mid-octave tone of voice that could sound like anyone's if you didn't listen.

Zanpaktou: Normal- Met's sword is a standard black-hilted katana with no adornments

Shikai (NOT ACHIEVED)-" ,Shuwantoushaki!" The blade of the Zanpaktou changes into a cloud, yet maintains its shape and length. Shuwantoushaki is capable of copying any technique that has been scanned by a band of red light that is emitted from the hilt, similar to a price tag scanner. A technique can only be copied or used when in this cloud form, meaning that the blade must phase through cloud form before changing.
When fighting, Shuwantoushaki will first takes its normal form, as the cloud has no substance.

Bankai (NOT ACHIEVED) "Nijuushin Shuwantoushaki"
The cloud spreads out and forms a suit around Met. In this form, any techniques Met has seen may be used or combined with each other, and Met can become any person and have all of their abilities. Nijuushin Shuwantoushaki does not have to phase into its cloud form to become a different technique or to transform Met.

The spiritual form of Shuwantoushaki is a red-eyed ninja, who is accompanied by mockingbirds, one mockingbird for each copied sword (or person when Bankai is acheived).

Kommito Zaigu (Commit Sin)- Met can command a copied blade to destroy itself, releasing all the reiatsu incorporated within the blade in one huge blast of energy. Met is penalized with an equal amount of reiatsu taken from him by his sword. ((Explanation of name: By destroying the blade, Met is killing on of his Zanpakutou's mockingbirds, a reference to the book 'To Kill a Mockingbird"))

Special Accessories: Met carries a small notebook that constantly fills with any information he has found out and wants to remember.

Skills: Met has the skills of a spy or thief: blending in, moving quietly, leaving no evidence. A quintessential ghost among men (no pun intended).

Abilities: Metame is a very intelligent and curious person, drawn to want to know everything by any means possible. He can look at a room and have it memorized, creating almost a sphere of awareness. Once he has read or seen something, he will know it forever.

Personality: Metame has trained himself to act in whatever manner the situation calls for, even when in a casual setting. He doesn't stand out among others, yet he can't go unnoticed. He stays in the middle of everything, but is always driven to reach the top.

Biography/History: In his life, Met had grown up in the slums of a large city in the center of Utashinai, Hokkaido, with his seven older siblings. His parents had died when he was very young, so he'd been taken care of by his oldest brother, who worked numerous jobs in order to support the family and allow his younger siblings to stay in school and be educated. Met loved school and was allowed to skip grades like most kids would skip rope.
Unfortunately, one day, his brother died in an accident at a factory in which he worked, causing all of the remaining siblings to take jobs of their own, trying to each take part of the burden. Met fell in with a gang of pickpockets who over the years became full on cat burglers.
On the night of his eighteenth birthday, Met was pulling a job and disguised himself as one of the guards of a mansion in the richest part of town in order to gain entry. As he was cracking the safe to seize the riches within, the support that sat under the safe to keep it from leaning snapped, causing the half ton safe to fall and crush him.

Powers: Kidos 1-10 (As granted at beginning)

Name:Junichiro(pronounced:june-ee-chi-roh) Watanabe(pronounced:wat-ah-nah-bay)


Aliases/ Nicknames: N/A

Physical Description:Junichiro is 5'7 and rather thin though size and build may be small, Junichiro at least has an advantage over most common new shinigami in speed to make up for his lack in physical stregnth. Hair is mid-length and very dark brown and his eyes are also brown, his most common appearence is lazy as his eyes are more than often half shut and dazed looking. Junichiros sense of style is rather strange as he wears an eye patch tho he does not need one as his eyes are undamaged in any way, also frequently carries a scroll around with him for gathering information on a variety of things, such as combat styles, envirenments etc etc.
he also has a forhead protector which is blood red in colour and has a black crecent moon carved into it which simbolises his shikai (when achieved). Though being rather thin he still has some built muscle to him at the very least, he also has several scars on his body none of which are very large nor are they impressive to boast about as they are simply minor inflictions of practice in the academy.

Zanpaku-to:In its sealed form it is a fairly long blade with a fairly standard hilt. The hilt is black with red material wrapped around it. the blade is roughly 3 foot in length. The sheath is a very dark shade of red with a gun metal color metal cap on the bottom which comes half way up the sheath, the pattern on the sheath is simply black flames.

chimidoro no tsuki-bloody moon.Junichiro's zanpakuto in shikai form is a fairly large black scythe of which the blade is shaped similar to a crecent moon, like the one on Junichiro's forhead protector, also the scythe has blood red ribbons wrapped around it, again similar to the forhead protector, but the reason behind this is more closly linked to the zanpakuto's name bloody moon as the shikai suggests it looks as though the crecent moon shaped scythe is bleeding. the abilities of the shikai are rather strange as it has no actual offensive abilities, but , it does have the ability to transfer Junichiros reiatsu inside the wound of anyone that Junichiros shikai cuts, the purpose is that that the reiatsu that gets transfered into the wound holds the wound open longer and forces the blood out of the wound longer, the down side to this ability is that small wounds that would not usually bleed alot may be held open longer but will not bleed alot as they may be minor but if a more seriouse wound was inflicted then the results would become fatal very quickly. Also at the expense of Junichiro's own blood he can repair his zanpaku-to and upon repairing it make it more durable and sharper.
The shikai release phrase is ''tear out your heart''.(SHAIKAI NOT ACHIEVED)

Junichiros bankai is still a scythe, but it gets bigger in length of blade and general length, the blade also loses its crecent moon shape and becomes more straight. The scythe also has a scond blade at the bottom facing the opposit direction, it still retains its blood red ribbons wrapped around it though. The original ability of the zanpakuto becomes much more lethal in bankai as wounds inflicted have much more reiatsu forced inside it, as a result the wounds stay open longer again and more blood is lost and actually forced to bleed more profusly. There is a little bit more to this ability also and that is depending on the wound, if enough reiatsu is poured into the wound it is possible for the wound even if minor can be forced to open wider makin the wound more seriouse.
The very usefull ability that if the blade is broken the blade reforms at the expense of the users own blood remains still with the, perk of the blade becoming more durable and sharper depending on the amount of blood the zanpakuto takes in from the wielder. the magor flaw with this zanpakuto ability remains, which is that the user must use his own blood to repair his zanpakuto, this may seem like only a small price but if the zanpakuto is badly damaged more blood will be needed to repair and this can have seriouse complications just like in its shikai. But there is a difference, In bankai form the scythe if not broken is capable of while holding the wound open can pour some of Junichiros reiatsu into the opponents blood stream in turn making the scythe able to use the opponents blood as Junichiros own, If enough reiatsu is passed into the blood stream and enough blood is spilled on the zanpaku-to.

There is one passive ability that this zanpakuto has which is just a way to shift combat style and that is that the scyth is able to detach itself into two seperat scythesand is joint by a chain.also the appearence of Junichiro changes in bankai form, his appearence is very easily described as the Grim Reaper as he has a ragged cloak around him and the shuhakusho becomes more fitted rather than baggy, this in turn grants better speed and improved mobility in combat.(NOT ACHIEVED)

Special Accessories: Junichiro has a habbit of carrying around a scroll which is essentially for gathering data on what ever he feels is important. he also has a black eye patch which serves no real purpose as his eye's are not damaged in any way. the last distinguishing feature he has is the forhead protector which is blood red in color and has a black crecent moon carved into it.

Skills: Junichiro is a fast paced fighter, and in combat is always on his toe's. he has above average in martial arts skills, not enough to go against a vice captain or captain level but at least enough to have hand to hand combat with maybe a 4th or 3rd seat at best. kido is not a strong point of Junichiro's but he is at least compitent enough to perform several properly. His swordsmanship is very good again not great but good enough to keep his opponent on the move.
Junichiro is also rather sneaky as he likes to take data from his apponent and is capable of learning the moves and fighting styles of them very quickly, this has its draw backs to as his big flaw in combat is for the first few minutes he is open to attacks due to collecting data he will rarely fight back, at least until he is finished collecting what he thinks is enough data for that time, this in turn makes him a notorius stratagist in battles this combined with his love for fast paced battle make a lethal combination.

Abilities:in the academy was in the top class for hand to hand combat skills in martial arts, was top of his class in stategic combat and was more than compotent in generic combat fighting. Junichiro was only in top class for his stratagies but was in second highest class for hand to hand and thirs highest class for his quick paced combat which in that class. though what he does lack is his kido power as he can perform kidos properly once acquired he has trouble in actually gaining them, also his physical strength is not exactly weak but he isnt all that great at overpowering his opponent.

Personality: Junichiro is an odd guy as his personality has a habbit of frequently fluctuating out of the blue, he is more than not relaxed or just plain lazy, not in a insulting to officials kind of lazy but a laid back lazy as Junichiro will follow orders fairly obediently its just if no orders are given he will not pass the oppertunity to find a tree to sleep under. Also, he does not take to kindly to shamefull defeats, as this leads to a short tempare, and quick to act on revenge until he is satisfied with the results.
when challenged to a battle with a team mate or a enemy his personality will more than likely change to a more, crazy look as he usualy bares a large crazy looking grin and is rather intense in battles as his personality for battles is very overbored, simply because he does not believe one should hold back, though he knows that if there are rules present he will follow them.
Junichiros sociable side is rarely seen but when he is feeling sociable he is rather fun to be with, he tends to have alcohol involved when sociable or to get him sociable you could simply offer him alcohol either way would work. When in this mood he is very fun loving and hyper active, but with a mischivous streak.

Biography/History:Junichiro was 16 when he died, he could also sense the presence and in some cases could see ghosts but not hollows and could not make contact with the dearly departed, and it was a hollow that killed him a month after he became 16. He was a hollow for 2 weeks before soul society caught Junichiro and sent him to soul society where he still retained his spiritual energy and was then offered a place at the academy where he accepted and trained to become a top class shinigami.
while Junichiro was alive his favorite sports at school were rugby and dodgeball, his grades on the other hand were reflected highest in science. he was not greatly popular in school but he did have his owncircle of good friends. His hobbies included martial arts, playing computer games on mainly the X-box 360, reading manga, drawing and drinkin alcohol with his friends, he got away with it as though he was 16 the shop owner of a popular alcohol stand was a very close friend of the family so he got alcohol on the weekends, not for free of course but was just aloud to buy it though under age. His prefered forms of martial arts are muay tai kick boxing and chinese kenpo as they r the fastest forms of martial arts that he practiced while alive.

Powers: Junichiro has just graduated from the academy so he only has the basic knowledge of kidos from 1-10. he does on the other hand poses great leg strengh making him very agile.
