Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name:
Konasaki Dayes

Aliases/ Nicknames:
N/A yet

Physical Description:
Dayes stands 6'1 and weighs approximately 220 lbs. He has Dark Blue eyes and a lightly toned body.

Zanpakuto:
Sealed - Tiburon
Tiburon is rather long compared to most Zanpakutos. Measuring in at a little over three feet in length. Nothing else about Tiburon is special in it's sealed form.

Shikai - Tiburon - Unattained
"Rise, Tiburon!"
After the release phrase is uttered, the blade retracts to exactly 3 feet. It's handle becomes an oak color as a cold chill blows through the air. Freezing the blade, the metal inside melts and water courses throughout the frozen blade and down to the base of the hilt.

Shikai Abilities
Anything that touches the blade begins to freeze. It cannot be halted without sufficient heat or by removing the afflicted area. It can also affect surroundings and weapons as well. The blade can be detached by running his hand down the hilt. Once detached, the water seeps out and returns to the hilt, forming another blade, freezing over again. The frozen shell may be fired at opponent like a bullet, able to change course if filled with Dayes' reiatsu.


Bankai - Granarmadura Congelado - Unattained
"Lend me your cold spirit
To freeze the battlefield!

Defend and Destroy! Granarmadura Congelado!"

Upon saying the release, a blizzard strikes the battlefield, freezing Dayes solid in a large block of ice. In just a few seconds, the ice blasts open, revealing Dayes encased in a suit of frozen armor. The armor itself is incredibly resistant and the detail is extremely intricate. Dayes' Zanpakuto grows into a lance. The blade itself, retracts into that of a short sword, still giving the lance good reach. The lance is just as intricate as the armor. Small amounts of Dayes' reiatsu form ice feathers, that flow from the lance as it moves.

Bankai Abilities
Dayes' Zanpakuto retains it's freezing ability, and it's freezing speed/capability is raised ever so slightly. The blade can no longer detach from the rest of the Zanpakuto, but if needed, Dayes can control the ice feathers that form from the blade. The armor increases Dayes' resilience even more so, along with giving him a significant boost to his speed, strength, et cetera. However, it's not a huge increase, but the boost is still significant enough for the opponent to see. If the armor or lance becomes damaged, Dayes can pull moisture from the air and, upon contact with the armor, reform the broken/damaged pieces of his armor or Zanpakuto.

However, if his armor is completely destroyed/melted, his Bankai ends and leaves him critically drained for 5 minutes and his Zanpakuto reverts back to it's sealed form. The armor is can be easily destroyed by only one thing. An inferno. An inferno is the least it takes to fully melt the armor.


Special Accessories:
Dayes carries only two things with him other than his Zanpakuto. A small gourd containing Sake, and a small book with Kido written inside, to assist him to learn Kido whenever he has a chance. The book also assures that he can refer to it, in order to use Kido already learned, in case he forgets the chant.

Skills:
Dayes has no skills that should come as a surprise to anyone. He has normal strength, speed, defense, and intelligence. However, he does have the 'skill', one would say, to surprise others with his outstanding resilience. He can quickly recover if knocked down, hurt, or sick. In other words, if knocked to the ground, he'll bounce back with twice the force.

Abilities:
Dayes knows only two Kido by heart and is proficient in using them. Thrust and Restrain. He does however know Kido up to Number 10, but rarely uses them.

Personality:
Dayes is a relaxed person, happy to help out when needed, and even happier to just kick back, put his feet up, and sleep. He usually talks to anyone and everyone who interacts with him, but other than that, he's quiet. He's loyal, friendly, and would never leave a friend/comrade behind on the field of battle. Someone you could entrust your life to.

Biography/History:
Dayes died at the age of 28. Previously in his life he was a elementary school teacher, teaching the Fourth Grade. He'd been teaching for 7 years. On New Years Eve, he got drunk with a few friends and they went for a walk. About an hour later, in the middle of downtown, Dayes was hit by a car and died as he flew into the air and snapped his neck on the concrete on the way down.

When he was alive, he loved to read and relax as much as possible. He loved to sit outside and just watch life pass by. It was truly heaven on Earth for him. To see everyone in their own little world, having their own troubles and happiness, and just be looking in from the outside. These are the only real things to pass from his living self to his new life in Soul Society.

Upon entering Soul Society, he began right where he left off. Sitting off to the side watching people, day after day, wondering what happened in their lives. One day, he noticed a Shinigami and was completely fascinated. Gathering information about them, he began even more intrigued. Eventually, Dayes stumbled upon the Shinigami Academy and decided to enroll, in hopes of learning more about the Shinigami, and what they stand for.

Powers:
Resilience, Bakudo #1 'Restrain', Hado #1 'Thrust'

Name:
Mominoki, Okojo

Aliases/ Nicknames:
Okojo, Jou, O-Jo

Squad/Rank: 13, None

Physical Description:

Eye color is a bright green with gold-hazel around the pupil. He has shoulder-length bleach-blond hair with some black roots showing. Standing at around 5'11", he has a lean build that goes with his height. His skin is tanned, which contrasts with his lightened hair immensely. On his chest is a small scar he gained from when he first began to learn about reiatsu and wound up hurting himself.

To other people, Jou seems a little air-headed, often staring off into space while thinking about things. He walks at his own pace of not-very-fast, grinning stupidly through any confrontation with anyone. However, when he is serious, it's as if another person has replaced him, as smiling eyes seem to turn a little cold, and people are often taken by surprise. Otherwise, he acts like a complete fool.

Personality:
Jou is the kind of guy you'll see off on the sidelines watching others, laughing when they do, but never contributing to the event. However, when he is with a group of people, he always has a smile on his lips and often makes a fool of himself. However, he's the type where his smile doesn't quite reach his eyes.
When angry, or focusing heavily on something, however, O-jo's smile disappears to show a true, focused and clear expression. Appearing a bit intimidating, it's almost as if he switches with another person. However, these expressions don't happen frequently, especially around a lot of people he doesn't know.

Biography/History:
Death Age: 23
Birthdate: June 16th
Deathdate: December 13th
Life: Okojo was born in California, U.S.A. and lived there for the very first few years of his life. When he was four, his family moved to Japan to live with relatives, because his fathers' business wasn't doing very well. He wound up becoming more raised by his grandparents than his own parents, as a divorce was in the air, and so he grew up to be a bit of an angsty teenager.

When O-jo turned seventeen, he met Aiko and they became close friends, before finally a couple right before they graduated from high school. She was everything to him, and she was also the only person from school who knew about heart problems he'd had since he was born. Fencing was almost the only thing he seemed to be able to handle, sport-wise at school, though he loved almost anything that was active and had to do with a team.

The two moved into an apartment together after highschool and applied to the same colleges. They had gotten accepted to one together, when Okojo had an accident while moving some furniture into the apartment. He was hospitalized for a few weeks, and was let out on a good bill of health, though he still felt weary.

It was another few years, with starting college, and remaining close with Aiko, before his heart condition became severe again. He began having problems keeping his hands and feet awake, and in the mornings, sometimes, he would wake with his entire body feeling numb. On one such morning, Okojo decided to go take a walk to see if he could get his blood flowing a little better, but he never made it back to the apartment. He had a heart attack and died near the building.

Death:
After his death, Okojo found himself in Rukongai, and eventually was recruited by a Shimigami after watching him for a few days, now active since his heart bothered him no longer. He'd discovered his Reiatsu, and the Shimigami quickly recruited him after he'd worked on getting his Reiatsu to a slightly more-than-noticeble level. He is now training to be apart of the Gotei 13 in Sereitai.

Zanpakuto:
Name: Tenri (Rule of Heaven)
Manifestation:

A rather large heron that stands at grandly tall heights. She has three sets of wings, each of them a different size, going from largest to smallest down her back. Her tail and neck feathers, as well as her legs are a golden color, and her beak and body are both a pure white. One set of wings is white as well, while the other two are black. Along her neck, black and white feathers decorate in with the gold.
Tenri has extra feathers atop her head, around her neck near her head and near her body that fluff out a little extra. As well as that, she has three horns crowning her head, and pure white eyes that seem to see all.
Appearance:

Tenri has the appearance of being a really heavy sword, with a long hilt (maybe one and a half hands), and a long, and unusually wide, katana-style blade. The hilt and hand guard of the blade are decorated with black and white wrappings, with gold accented in the metal at top of the sword, and above and below the handguard.
The sheath is a pure white with black and white cords connecting to a shoulder strap so Tenri is easier for Okojo to carry. However, it also means it takes him a little while to draw the blade.
UnobtainedShikai Release: Akuwokorasu tamashii, Hakkei! (to punish the wicked soul, Release[internal power]!)
Releasing Tenri to her Shikai form creates a heavier, larger, weapon for Okojo to use, and if he dropped her and someone were to try and pick her up, that action would be very difficult. However, Okojo himself only seems to feel lighter, and Tenri is almost even lighter than she was in her pre-released form.
UnobtainedShikai Release Form:
A light seems to emit from the blade, and the metal itself almost appears as if melting into a long pole. The gold on the hilt of the blade stretches and flattens to form two sides of an Executioner's axe. The hilt itself develops into the hold for the blades, retaining their black and white weaving. Parts of the hilt, however, develop into more hand-holds for the wielder to use, shifting for a large one toward the middle of the long pole, and a smaller one closer to the blades for a comfortable grip when wielding the axe for closer-ranged combat.
UnobtainedBankai Release: junjo no kisoku o sakusei suru tame, Hakkei Tenri! ( In order to draw up the rule of order, Release[internal power] Tenri!)
UnobtainedBankai Release Form: (( Will put in if I ever need it ))

Special Accessories:
Okojo usually has a set of bracers on to help his wrists when wielding swords, each of them a simple white with black circles in the center. He also always has a neckalace with a gold chain around his neck, a small silver hammer the only charm on it.
Other than those items, he usually has a basic healing kit on him for missions, sometimes even wanders around with a water bottle strapped to his side for whenever he gets thirsty.

Skills:In Progress
Through training, Okojo would obtain a larger muscle mass and strength amount simply from carrying Tenri around, and learning how to use her blade in battle.
Also, Okojo would work on his movement, as wielding a heavy weapon would create dire consiquences if he couldn't move fast enough to avoid a killer blow.
To wield Tenri's Shikai form, Okojo will need to train in not only wielding a heavy weapon, but a light one as well.

Name:
Setzer


Aliases/ Nicknames:
Zeal (Explained in Personality), But to Meagan (TehTeaCakes), Setzer is known as Poe.

Physical Description:
Setzer is a long haired individual, silver-white in color. He wears long robes, mostly white in color, with various red designs. He is quite large, over 300 lbs, due to a rather love of various foods, and a slow metabolism. He is however, working on losing this weight as a means to reduce stress to his joints and spine. He is a kitsune, with 6 tails (Number decided after talking with Captain Daven Moto), red in color. His ears are white in color, but slowly fade to red. The same applies to his tails. His skin is quite a pale color, like the only light he gets is through a window, but this is quite natural. However, at will, he is able to appear as a human in appearance, should he come across someone who may not find his kitsune form appealing. He's tall, allowing his weight to be rather well distributed, of about 6 foot. His eyes are a hazel color

Zanpacto:
Kaze no Tsuki
Sealed:
The blade itself is made of silver, and the hilt is wrapped in an extremely white cloth. The guard is in the shape of a pentacle (For those unaware of this term, it's a 5 pointed open star, surrounded by a circle.)
Shikai: (Not yet Achieved)
"Shine Brightly Kaze no Tsuki!"
Appearance Below
Major Ability: Vacuum Strike
By swinging the scythe, one is able to release a fairly strong strike upon the enemy. It works by creating a vacuum of air and slices at the enemy that way. Literally a close range damage, made from further away.

Minor Ability: Gust of Wind
Strikes by swinging the scythe violently enough to cause air to sweep across the field before him. This can make airborne attacks of fellow ally's stronger. For example, others of wind, water, snow, ice, etc... this attack allows theirs to flow more fiercely. Although, on their own, the skill is rather weak, despite against those who weight little, or are fairly weak themself.

Bankai: (Not yet Achieved)
Released, Bankai still remains in it's scythe form (see below link for appearance). The only difference between the Shikai, and the Bankai in terms of ability, is the Bankai is able to create much larger winds. Tornadoes come easily, and depending on the environment, other forms are able. In sandy areas, sandstorms, watery areas, hurricanes, snowy areas, blizzards, so on, whatever can be imagined with the area.

The following image is not my RPC, nor is it in anyway mine.
Shikai and Bankai image

Special Accessories:
There is a small mask he carries, but only wears into battle. This mask has rather interesting markings on it. Although this has no actual effect, it places Setzer into a "battle-ready" state of mind, allowing him full access to his Kitsune heritage and it's abilities. This mask covers his face, leaving a slot for his eyes to see through. It's custom fit to his face, and allows him his full vision.

Setzer carries around a small pack of cards with him. He uses this to determine the future, at least for things near. Kind of like flipping a coin. Heads he does so, tails, does not. But instead of two choices, he has 52.

Skills:
None acquired as of yet.

Abilities:
The only abilities currently are through his Kitsune heritage, and are mostly the ability to control fire he has created, a "Fox-Fire" so to say. These are usually used simply for entertainment, and lighting in dark places. Other than that, they can be used in battle, but is quite unlikely, seeing as how they are either quite weak. Also, by rubbing his tails together, he is able to create lightning.

Personality:
Setzer is a "wandering" spirit so to say. He enjoys walking around to learn new things. His craving for learning things has given him the nickname of "Zeal," which is used as a means to describe when one is rather enthusiastic about a particular thing, in this case, learning. He's rather calm, at least in appearance, even if he may be struggling with some internal issues. He has quite an extensive knowledge on various occult related things. This includes Magic of a ritualistic nature, among other various subjects under this. He is quite a quick learner, if given the proper teacher. Rather a follower than a leader, seeing as how he has no leader qualities as of yet. He has no problem speaking in private, however, in large groups of people, he is quite quiet.

Biography/History:
Setzer has always had a rather zealous attitude for learning, and as such, he traveled the world. Through his travels, along the physical realm, and the spiritual, he has picked up many things. He has been alive since the birth of ancient Egypt, where he picked up a knowledge of ancient magics. He journeys carried him over various cultures and many lands.

The one that took his pride the most, were the cultures of Japan. The culture of these individuals known as samurai and their Bushido intrigued him greatly. He took to many of the practices that suited his needs. He also picked up a slight habit for some of the gambling games they played. Although he never placed a bet, he enjoyed the games.

Along his travels through japan however, he came across several others of his kind, one in particular under the name of Meagan. A strong attachment grew between the two, and soon a brotherly figure formed in Setzer to the younger one tail.

They traveled together, and eventually found themselves among the Sereitei, where they took refuge at, and they're story continued.

Powers:
Fox Fire
Rubbing tails to create lightning, or some form of electricity.

Equipment Used:

(Silver Metal Head Band): Sho had this item special made for himself when he completed his Shikai training. The head band hides the scar he received to his face and eye when becoming one with his Zanpakutou's Spirit.

(Red Dragon Chest Armor): Sho received this item from Ryu Kami when he unlocked his Shikai. This red chest plate armor is made from Ryu Kami's scales which help protect Sho from fire based attacks.

(Zanpakutou): “Ryu Kami” – Dragon God


Sho's Katana is red and 40-inches overall. It has a 28-inch sharpened stainless blade with simulated temper line. The blade is ground on the reverse side. It has a 12-inch red composition handle with a red and black cord wrap. It has a gold finish cast metal tsuba and pommel. A red composition scabbard with gold finish cast metal fittings comes with this sword.

Zanpakutou Spirit Form: As a dragon and female human. (Earned 01/2009 - VC Yamato)


Shikai ("Initial Release") Form: “Ryu Kimasu Demasu” – Dragon Come Forth (Earned 01/2009 - VC Yamato)

When drawn and commanded, Ryu Kami’s blade is engulfed in a red glowing light that is used to distract his enemy.

Shikai Forms: (Earned 01/2009 - VC Yamato)

1. "Kasu Watashi Antagata no Chikara" - Lend me your Strength

When commanded by Sho, Ryu Kami summons a giant western fire breathing dragon made of fire that resembles the look of Ryu Kami’s spirit. Sho can control the dragon by pointing Ryu Kami anywhere he wants and the dragon will follow. The heat level of the dragon is that of the inside of an active volcano (900 °C) and can burn the flesh off of bones with no problem. This attack can be very dangerous if not controlled properly by Sho not only to himself, but to the environment around him.

2. "Watashitachi no Shinzoo Hazukashiku Narimasu Ichi" - Our Hearts Become One

Stage 1 - When commanded by Sho, Ryu Kami produces eight doppelgangers of Sho who surround his opponent. All of them look, act, and talk like Sho down to the last piece of hair on his head. They all can move and attack but do no damage to his opponent. This is more of a mind trick than anything. They help mask the real Sho and his attack. This ability can only be used once per battle or once per individual fight.

Stage 2 - Upon command by Sho, Ryu Kami can engulf Sho and the doppelgangers in fire. When in this state, Sho can seriously injure his opponent if they are touched or grabbed. (the doppelgangers can do no harm in this state) Sho also becomes resistant to fire based attacks while in this state.

Three Year Skip: Sho Yuuki - Time Skip


Skills:

Sho Yuuki is known for his martial arts talents. He holds a 4th Dan in Kempo Karate and has been trained with the katana and other martial arts weapons. Sho has always been gifted with Olympic like athletic abilities. What takes the average or good student 2-3 months to learn a kata, Sho can learn in a day or two. His flexibility is like no other’s making his karate deadly. Sho can speak English and Japanese.

Personality:

Sho has been known to be kind of outgoing and loud at times. He is a team player and believes that you should always stick up for weaker people. He is very loyal to his friends and would lay down his life for them if need be. His karate training was the love of his life.

Biography/History:

Sho was an ordinary16 year old teenage boy living in the city of Aomori, Japan. He attended high school and played sports just like any other teenager. But his passion was in the Martial Arts. From the age of four, Sho attended Kempo Karate and obtained the rank of 4th Dan Black belt and Assistant Instructor. His life seemed to be what he had dreamed of. His goal was to make 7th Dan Black belt and open his own Martial Arts school but, that never happened.

One day Sho came home early from school to find his father in a heated argument with an older business man and four other men. Sho hadn’t been home but 2 or 3 minutes and that’s when the fighting broke out. Sho came in the living room to find two men holding his father and one beating him. It didn’t take long for Sho to jump into action. Within seconds the man beating his father and one of the other thugs were on the ground unable to do anything and injured pretty bad. Sho’s father was beating the last thug down when Sho turned to the old man who was arguing with his father but it was too late. All Sho heard was the sound of the gun and that was the last that he seen or heard from his family.

Sho was killed and a short time later was laid to rest by his family, friends, and the whole martial arts community. It is believed that thousands turned up for his funereal and the killer was never brought to justice. Rumor has it that Sho’s father had a problem gambling and owed the local Yakuza chief a lot of money but refused to pay. That was the reason for the visit to his home.

Tail has it that it was a group of martial arts masters led by Sho’s 98 year old Grandfather who happened to be one of the Grandmasters of Shotokan Karate in his city, who prayed sixty days and sixty nights for Sho’s spirit to find the warrior’s resting place for his spirit. It is said that these great men wished and prayed for Sho’s spirit to go to the Soul Society and one day come back to earth as a Soul Reaper to avenge his death and bring honor back to his family.

Name: Kokuriden Rokera


Aliases/ Nicknames: Roke (Pronounced "Roak")


Physical Description:
-Age - Died at age 16, spiritual age and appearance is 22.
-Height - 6'0"
-Weight - 190 lb
-Body Type - Body Builder/Slender
-Eye Color - A light blue, almost gray. The area around his pupil is a small starburst of white-green, a sign of future blindness.
-Skin Color - A shade below pale, about average Caucasian white skin tone, but a bit whiter.
-Hair Color/Style - Jet black. Excellently maintained, it is very smooth and naturally highlighted with a lighter black tone. It is jaw length in the back, with bangs that reach down to the tip of the nose. The majority of the bangs fall to left side of his face, with a about a quarter of them that cover the right side of his face. The hair is not styled any other way, it falls naturally down.
-Physical Description -
Rokera has a martial artist's physique. Power, but compact, and explosive. He moves warily and gracefully, as a result of years of mental training in his physical life. His shoulders ripple with muscle, flowing downward into his arms which are too compact. He has little to no fat anywhere on his body. His torso is defined, with a small set of abdominal muscles. Almost out of place, his legs are deceptively skinny, with only hardened slates of calf muscle to show any kind of physical training. Rokera moves gracefully, and smoothly. He steps lightly and warily, always perceptive and intuitive about his surroundings. However, he may also walk along rather ungracefully at times, for he is prone to daydreaming and deep thought, which cause him to lose touch with the outside world. It's a (un)healthy mix of those two states.

Zanpacto: Yumekusari (Combining two Japanese words, meaning "Dream Chain".) The spirit inside the blade takes the form of man-like creature, wrapped in gray cloth. Black and white chains wrap around the entirety of it's body, with every chain meeting at the spirit's hands, forming claws of black and white. It ethereally glides along, touching the ground only when necessary. Only one eye is revealed on it's face, the other covered with cloth. The eye appears to be blind, yet sparkles with life and a gleeful joy.

In sealed form, the sword is slightly shorter than a normal zanpakuto. The tsuba is black, with two white rings piercing it's left side. The handle is decorated with a standard diamond pattern, but with black diamonds and a white background.

Shikai: (Not Yet Attained) "Bind, Yumekusari!" His signature release is to slash in a half moon in front of him, then circle to the left upwards, flicking his blade when it reaches his right side. Yumekusari grows to normal Zanpakuto length, while an ivory chain is wrapped around his right arm, up to the shoulder. The tsuba grows into a star shape which dangles with miniature chains. The blade itself is now a deep black, which extends outward two and a half feet. The last half foot is a five pointed star, with two arms extending to each side, with one longer arm extending out the top of the blade that tapers to a wickedly sharp point. A split running through the middle of the blade allows the blade to split in half, either on just the blade or the entire sword.

Chains allow Yumekusari to be thrown at a distance of about 60 feet. Focusing reiatsu into the chains allows them to be controlled, along with the blade, in midflight. However, the blade is limited to three full force strike attempts before it must be reined in. Once the blade is in contact with Rokera, he may repeat the technique.

Solid spirit energy and a little of Rokera's reiatsu are the material that makes up the chain. The chain may be broken by somebody with a much higher reiatsu than Rokera, or if it is struck directly with a concentrated burst of powerful spirit energy: say, a powerful kido (The kido needed to break increases in strength as Rokera's reiatsu increases), or a technique similar to Ichigo's Getsuga Tenjho. If broken, the blade and the chain all the way up to the arm it sprang from fades into the air. The blade appears back in Rokera's hand, but the chain will remain broken for about 30 seconds. That is the time needed for the spirit energy to reform and the reiatsu to harden each link.

Note: The chains on the arm protect it from the same blows as the extended chain does.

Bankai: (VERY Far from being obtained.) Nightmare's Embrace of Hallowed Chains

The standard Soul Reaper uniform is replaced with white robes, with the sleeves ripped off, and the left shoulder. Black chains wrap both arms. The chains meld into clawed gauntlets on each hand, with white claws. Rokera's eyes are now completely pale blue, and a black tattoo runs up the side of his face, and it shifts around eerily. His spirit energy emanates as a white aura from the chains.

The chains themselves are remarkable. They can go straight through ordinary objects without disturbing them if Rokera wishes them to. They also have the ability to change into weapons and guards, connected by a chain to Rokera. If the Zanpakuto is revealed in this form, it takes the form of a scythe with a handle of shadows and a blade of pure, white spirit energy. If desired, Rokera can also use the weapon forms to channel spirit energy into blasts of darkness. In extreme cases, he can also drop all of his defense and focus all of his reiatsu into a single point, with devastating power increases.

Rokera's body also undergoes special enhancements. For one, he can shift through objects, and allow normal attacks without spiritual enhancement to pass through him and his weapons. A solid blast of energy can break weapons in this form, but it must be VERY strong and VERY fast in order to connect. Rokera may use shadows to guard these attacks, but if any of the chain is struck with enough spiritual force, it will be stuck in it's current form, and no longer able to go through objects. The other enhancement is speed. His reaction speed and perception is increased, as it is with most bankais, but he can also appear out of any part of the chain at any given moment he wishes to.

The three key weaknesses are as follows:
Spirit energy attacks. They can freeze his weapons and prevent him from using teleportation attacks, and prevent him from shifting around attacks.
Lack of defense. Some of the more powerful techniques involve using defense power to attack. This leaves openings in his defense that otherwise wouldn't be there.
Spirit energy usage. This Bankai is incredibly dependent on the strength of the user. It burns reiatsu and spirit energy like a Hummer burns gas. When a special skill is used, it takes time to rebuild the energy needed to pull off that same attack, making it hard to do successive attacks of the same kind. Also, chain control requires a constant flow of energy, which is another sucker.


Bankai Techniques: There May Never Be Any. Therefore, there will be none listed.


Special Accessories:
Cloud Necklace - Rokera's favorite necklace from when he was alive. A single wispy cloud of metal on a black cord is all that it is. It somehow stayed with him upon his entry into the Soul Society. It has a minor ability to help abate the spirit pressure of others by absorbing a small amount of the strain put upon Rokera. This energy cannot be used from the amulet.

Small Black Notebook - A record of all the teachings that Rokera has taken notes on. It also contains his own works, doodles, poetry, and so on. He can be found reading this in his spare time.


Skills:
Grace - Rokera has a high amount of stability and balance, due to martial arts training.

Spirit Focus - By unnoticeably increasing his spiritual pressure, Rokera can break a sleep or daydream like state and raise his levels of focus and perception.

Personality:
Rokera has a very dutiful side. During his training and duties, he is generally very serious and focused. However, his natural tendency is to be easy going and good natured. He can't help but smile in most situations, no matter how bad they may seem. A loner by nature, he likes companionship from others but usually does not pursue it. From a first glance, he looks impassive and untrusting. If you find the courage to talk to him, you'll find the first thing he does is smile, immediately warming up to his new acquaintance. He is very passionate about his beliefs, but not so much that it clouds his judgement. When making decisions, Rokera leaves out emotions and feelings. He calculates every piece coldly, and does what must be done. Other than that, he has an odd habit of going off on his daydreams, constantly thinking of ways to better himself, others, and sometimes other humorous escapades. His mood can dramatically fluctuate, from being serious and dutiful to goofy and mischevious. His large heart and decisiveness makes him an implacable ally and friend.

Biography/History:
Rokera was born in the United States, October 18th, 1987.

A firey youth, his parents had no choice but to send him to a foster home. They could simply not put up with his antics any more. At his new home, Rokera was constantly being beaten by the other children. At a young age of 7, he was forced to try to hold his own against 12 year olds, who were much bigger than him, and stronger. It took three years of that abuse, when he was 10 years old, before his foster parents realized what had been happening to him. At that point, Rokera had already begun to understand combat, and hate anyone who bulled people smaller than them. His parents soon enrolled him in a martial arts school, just so he could learn to defend himself.

He learned much from those 6 years in that school. It taught him control and patience, virtues he had lived long without. His body had become tough and lean, a weapon in his hands. They also taught him social skills; how to laugh and enjoy people, not regard them as potential enemies. He was still a loner, but had a few very good friends. His intelligence was also apparent, acing every sort of exam thrown at him. He was looking forward to a successful life. Key word, "was".

"Everybody get down! I've got a gun!"
The whole class erupted into motion and noise as they fell to the floor. Rokera was among them. His heart raced as he gazed down at the tattered boots of the assailant. He stepped quickly and anxiously; he obviously was nervous. Cold crept into Rokera's stomach as he realized who's voice it was. It was one of his classmates; a big, stupid fellow. He was mentally unstable.
"Everyone, in the corner, now!"
Motion erupted again, as the flock of scared students rushed to make the attacker's demands. Rokera remained hidden. The attacker began to speak to the class, yelling and crying, gun shaking in his hand. Rokera couldn't hear him; he was deep in his own thoughts.
He'll kill them..he'll kill my friends. My classmates. Blood will be shed. That must be prevented. I have so much to lose, but so do they. They won't do anything, but just sit and be slaughtered. Damn it...

What will I do...?

The attacker began to shout louder, and now pointed the barrel squarely at the bunch of students. Some began to cry, others yelled, some prayed for something to help them.

Sacrifices must be made, and I must be the one to do so.

Rokera lunged out of his hiding spot, a pair of scissors in his right hand. His eyes were blank, as if he knew he was going to die. The sights swung towards him. His heart skipped a beat. The sharp metal in his hand drove home in a fleshy neck. A strangled scream erupted from a masked face.

But the loudest sound was the sound of a trigger clicking. The bullet ripped itself a hole, straight through Rokera's heart. He crumpled into a bloody heap next to the assailant, thinking his final thought as a living being.

One life, for many. What a way to go..

He was later admitted into the soul society, via a soul reaper. He spent months as a petty thief in the Rukon District, which was made harder by the fact that his death had erased his knowledge of martial arts techniques. Luckily, he retained his flexibility and movement knowledge. He did not like his life, but he had to eat in a world without hunger, so he did what had to be done. He was constantly training himself in his spare time, so he could someday enter the Soul Reaper Academy. It paid off, because he did.

He passed all of his classes with good marks. It was an odd situation, really. All of the physical demonstration classes he passed with advanced marks, but he had trouble with a lot of his study classes. His excuse was that he just couldn't help but daydream. He developed his own form of spiritual control that allowed him to stay focused, which eventually he began to do every minute of the day, without thinking. That enabled him to study, catching up on his class work and passing with good marks. It helped that he had only a few friends, due to the fact that others avoid him because his unusual amount of spiritual pressure made them feel uncomfortable. He now is a graduate of the Soul Reaper Academy, and that is where our true story begins.
