n a m e // Yuu Shouhei

a g e x( a p p e a r a n c e ) // 10
a c t u a lx a g e // Roughly around 200-something.
b i r t h - d a t e // December 17th
s q u a d // 6
r a n k // Third Seat
r e i t s ux c o l o r // Midnight Blue

α ρ ρ є α я α η ¢ є

e y ex c o l o r // Deep Blue
h a i rx c o l o r // Dull Blue
h a i rx d e s c r i p t i o n // His hair is a bit too long, showing he is in need of a haircut; it's relatively short, however, so it does not touch his shoulders, but it has a tendency of hanging in his face when he tilts his head a certain way.
h e i g h t // 4'9"
w e i g h t // 89
m a r k i n g s // The child has a peculiar etching within his right eye, which has rendered the eye completely blind; it looks as if someone physically took a knife and carved a pentagram within the surface, leaving permanent scarring and damaging the vision within that eye.
d e s c r i p t i o n // Yuu is small, and leaning a bit on the fragile side; he has slightly shaggy, steely blue hair, and eyes of a similar hue. Although rather adamant that he is tall and on par with those who try to mock him, it is quite obvious that he is but a child. His eyes are a bit large, like any child's, and his eyelashes are long and thick, their color as blue as the silken hair that sprouts from his scalp. His skin is a bit on the pale side, and bruises show up easily upon the flesh, so when he bumps into things it tends to be rather obvious. He usually wears a bandage over his right eye to conceal the scar there, but sometimes will wear a normal eyepatch, if he feels so inclined to do so. His expression is almost always grim, with a soft frown and slightly sad eyes. The only other facial expressions he has are rage, irritation, disdain, and arrogance, so you'll rarely see a smile gracing his features. [ x ]
e x t r a // He is allergic to cats, and has mild asthma (which is considered to be in remission). Also, he has yet to be able to use his bankai, as he has not quite bullied his zanpakutou into submission yet.

ρ є я ѕ σ η α ℓ ι т у

r e l a t i o n s h i p s // No relationships whatsoever.
d e s c r i p t i o n // Yuu is a very strict and proud boy, with a cold outlook on life. Before his parents died, Yuu had the normal outlook as a child; when his parents were burned alive, however, the boy went into hiding his emotions and his smile to everyone. He is punctilious on orders as he expects those of lower stature to complete them accordingly. Yuu is competitive, in which he acknowledges it himself; he is not appeased by draws, instead persisting upon continuing until there is an absolute victor. However, if he is fairly defeated, he would accept it. Yuu is arrogant and extremely confident in his skills to the extent that he has the viewpoint of 'there's no way I can ever lose'. Within the boy, however, there is a deep sadness.. he is but a child, after all. Although difficult to befriend and even harder to earn the trust of, if you manage to get under the boy's skin, he can be misguided. Even more childish of him, Yuu is impulsive to an extent, and if he is angered, he will lash out, regardless of who the person is that has offended him.
l i k e s // Yuu enjoys playing board games pertaining to tactics, such as chess; due to his calculating personality, he finds these games to be relatively simple, and takes joy in defeating an opponent with a few taps of ebony against a checkered board. He is rather fond of tea, as well--but he despises Asian teas. Rather, he prefers things that were more popular in England, such as Earl Gray. That being said, he is also a lover of sweets, as are most children--nine times out of ten, he would choose cake over actual sustenance, and will even go out of his way to obtain something sugary if it seems worth the trouble (i.e. going on a quest to steal a cake from another squad's captain).
d i s l i k e s // Yuu hates to be overpowered or outsmarted. It makes him feel inferior, which he certainly knows he isn't, and it causes him to lose his temper. Though he tries to act calm and collected, he certainly isn't, which leads us to our second dislike--he hates it when people push his buttons. He can't stand it when he's purposefully irked and insulted. He despises being touched in any way, shape, or form, and has been known to strike people for being to fond or friendly with him.

z α η ρ α к υ т σ

s p i r i t ' sx n a m e // Ao-Oni
s e a l e dx a p p e a r a n c e // [ x ]
s p i r i t ' sx d e s c r i p t i o n // The spirit is, basically, just like its wielder; well, the damn thing would be just like Yuu if it was just as defensively cold. Unfortunately, it reflects the darker side of the child, being sadistic and disregarding of human life, and trying to dredge its master's thoughts in darkness and depravity. It even goes so far as to make the male's release phrase "I submit," just for the sake of tweaking his arrogant streak. The creature is male, with short, choppy black hair and skin of an almost ivory hue; his eyes are mahogany, and his teeth are slightly sharper than normal. He is usually clad in ragged black attire, which appears to be open-chest at the top and loincloth-like at the bottom, along with knee-high black boots with harshly spiked heels. He has a long, gray tail with a spiked tip, and smoke-gray wings like a raven's jutting from his back. [ x ]
s h i k a ix r e l e a s ex p h r a s e //"I submit to you, Ao-Oni."
s h i k a ix d e s c r i p t i o n // He is capable of manipulating nearby shadows by brushing against them with his fingertips, and using them to create solid masses, such as spears, swords, thorns, etc. In his first release, the blade turns into a saber of sorts, with a pitch black blade and a silver handle, which has a thin handguard upon the outside. The blade is slightly curved, for reasons unknown. It is 4.3 feet long, and 3 inches across at its widest point. [ x ]
a b i l i t i e s // Mudana Fuan [ 無駄な不安, Futile Unrest ] : { Offensive Ability } Shadows swirl about his figure, and form into a jagged line of thorns; these thorns he then shoots at his opponent, to mercilessly lash at them, until he either grows bored or the attack is overwhelmed.

Zetsubō No Baria [ 絶望のバリア, Barrier of Despair ] : { Defensive Ability } Shadows create a solid wall around Yuu, that spins and lashes out with deathly spines at anyone who dares attempt to touch it. He uses this sparingly, mostly during a barrage of attacks by an opponent, when he needs a moment to think and contemplate his next move.

Shi No Manto [ 死のマント, Death's Cloak ] : { Offensive Ability } Shadows form into a small orb behind him, accumulating as he brushes against more and more shadows, thusly gaining them, and when the opponent least expects it, he shoots said orb at them. It coats their entire figure, and binds them down temporarily, so that he can either deliver the final blow or stand over them and gloat.
b a n k a ix r e l e a s ex p h a s e //"What are you doing, sitting here stagnant? Come out, and serve your master."
b a n k a ix d e s c r i p t i o n // It grows to 5 ft. 6 in. long, and the width moves to 4 in. Yuu no longer has to touch shadows to gain control of them, merely will them to his direction. His speed increases greatly, and he becomes far more agile, due to his need to capture the opponent's shadow, to deliver the final blow, and somesuch. The opponent's shadow is the only thing that he cannot summon without touching it; and even when he DOES touch it, he also has to manage some sort of nick upon the opponents flesh, to get some of his matter and toss it onto the figure once it comes under his command. The blade is reddish-tinted, with a much more ornate, black-wrapped hilt, and silver carvings upon the pommel and base. [ x ]
a b i l i t i e s // Akuma No Sakebi [ 悪魔の叫び, Demon's Cry ] : { Offensive Ability } Yuu manipulates the shadows into covering the entire room (which can be difficult, if there is little shadow), and thusly envelopes the room in darkness, which he can effectively use to his advantage. He strikes out at his opponent in the dark, and, more often then not, gets lucky and actually lands a blow. This attack is childishly simple, but mostly effective, so he cares little for other's opinion of it.

Rengoku Kura [ 煉獄暗, Dark Purgatory ] : { Defensive/Offensive Ability } Shadows curve around Yuu's free hand, like a glove, and shoot out to bind the other by the hand, as well. If the two are bound, Yuu can easily do one of three things; he could rip the bound limb off, simply fling the opponent around like a yo-yo, or, the most difficult of all, send spines of shadows shooting into the opponent's arm, and immobilize the limb, for the time being.

Jinrui No Pāji [ 人類のパージ, Purge of Humanity ] : { Offensive Ability, "Final Blow" } Finally taking control of the opponent's shadow, he takes the bit of matter/blood from the edge of his blade, slashing it across the shadow as it seeps towards him--the blood merges with the shadows, and hence, it morphs it into an exact clone of the opponent (only, of course, all black). Yuu uses the puppet to mimic the other's movements, and effectively distract and fight his opponent, so that he can sneak behind and deliver a final, piercing blow, usually by driving his sword through the other's stomach, and leaving it there until the opponent effectively dies and/or collapses off of it.

α в ι ℓ ι т ι є ѕ

He is unfamiliar with Japanese styles of fighting, but is a master at fencing, and uses such skills in his fighting tactics. He is also a decent hand-to-hand combatant, though usually he is on the defense, rather than the offense. He is rather adept at flash step, and is particularly agile, what with his zanpakuto being used to manipulate shadows and whatnot. Though he has little tolerance for pain, his durability in battle is outstanding, due merely to his stubborn arrogance, and his refusal to go down easily. He's one prideful b*****d, he is.

н ι ѕ т σ я у

h u m a nx w o r l d // Yuu was born in England, during the Victorian era; however, when he was nine, his parents were killed in a fire, and he was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Somehow, he ended up being shipped to Japan. There, he fell into the care of a man who remains unnamed, who beat him so severely that he forgot his identity. When Yuu turned ten, and was therefore 'too old to be in his care,' he attempted to sell the boy once again. However, when he was trying to place the boy in another crate to be shipped elsewhere, Yuu lashed out at him, and tried to flee. However, his 'master' shot him, and thus, he died.
e a r l yx s o u lx s o c i e t y // When he woke up, he was in the Soul Society. Most would think that he would be all cheerful to be in a better life, right? Wrong. He became secluded, cold, and hateful to the entirety of mankind. Regardless of the person, he trusted no one, unless they truly earned his trust. In the time he came there, he decided to make up a name for himself. Considering that most of the people around him were Japanese, he decided that he would have a Japanese name, as well. And thus, Yuu Shouhei was born. Roughly around the time that he chose his identity, he also took the exam to get into the Soul Reaper Academy, and passed with flying colors. At the academy, he trained, soon becoming top of his class, and thus, developing a stubborn arrogance due to the wealthy and slightly cruel-hearted students that he "befriended."
i nx t h ex 1 3x c o u r tx g u a r dx s q u a d s // Yuu was accepted into the Soul Society soon after he finished his schooling; there was a bit of a wait, and a few people had qualms with his size and his appearance, but eventually it all worked out fine for the child, and he was placed into Squad 6. .

Zanpakuto

Spirit's Name- Gijouhei(Guard of honor)
Sealed Appearance- A rather simple black lacquered tanto blade with sheath. the handle and sheath hold ornate white flowers along the sides.
Spirit's Description- An armor clad samurai who's face is veiled behind a steel mask, his yellow eyes glow through the slots in the mask unnaturally.
Shikai Release Phrase- Strive forth, Gijouhei
Shikai Description- The Tanto becomes a pair of ornate black fans embossed with intricate ivory flowers.
Abilities- Gijouhei is a rare zanpakuto that is almost entirely focused into kidou during shikai. The design holds the secret behind its power as when waved through the air sharp petals form which can easily cut and embed into flesh where they release a toxin that saps at one's motor functions. These petals can be controlled by Natsuki through even the smallest motions of the fans.

Bankai- Achieved
Bankai Release Phase- Zenshou(complete victory)
Bankai Description- Gijouhei takes a drastic turn in bankai becoming a pair of gauntlets that ride up the arms till just under the biceps. the ornate black lacquered coloring stays through and the white flowers stretch past the gauntlets and cover all the black parts of her uniform in the intriguing design.
Abilities- the gauntlets are entirely useless in utilizing kidou becoming powerful armored weapons. Reitsu is compacted into the gauntlets making them unable to be cut by other zanpakuto of equal caliber. The gauntlets can grip and pull, sometimes breaking, kidou and reiatsu that are used as seals and barriers. the gauntlets seem to augment Natsuki's speed as well making her already speedy strikes even more frightening as she seems to be in a perpetual state of flash step when moving. the hardness of the gauntlets allow her to grab and deflect other zanpakuto with relative ease. They are considered the ultimate in defensive categories of zanpakuto.

Abilities

Natsuki is an expert in most forms of Kidou and has practiced and mastered Aikido, jujitsu and many variants that are designed to combat armed foes. She has mastered traditional Hapkido. Though she is well versed in most Kidou her strength lies in the restrainment kidous that are available and often fuses them making it difficult to escape any restraints she sets forth. She also excels in combat strategy and tactics and has been used in many missions to devise plans. Her reiatsu is extremely high making her unsuppressed levels rivaling that of a Captain in spiritual pressure. She has unparalleled spiritual control.

History

Human World- Natsuki had the unfortunate luck to be born in a time where wars were quite common in Japan. A simple farmer in life she developed a studious work habit in the fields ensuring her village would have at least some food for the winter seasons. As fate would have it the war that had been ongoing had reached her village's doorstep. While escorting other villagers, namely children, to safety she was hit in the back from a stray arrow as an army had marched through the village. Falling to the ground she saw the children she tried to rescue escape safely through the fields before her vision went black.
Early Soul Society- Once in soul society she met a similar life to that of her former. She tilled the fields and harvested crops for the many residents of the society. Her reiatsu level was noticed while fending off some rather unsavory spirits who had been tormenting others, clearly not able to let their past lives go. striking them down caught the attention of the 13 court guard and she was taken in for training, a rare privilege for 'common' souls. While training she excelled in Kidou and tactics and was quickly assigned a seat in the 6th division.
In the 13 Court Guard Squads- Once in the 6th Division she gained a solid record for completing many tasks and upon gaining Shikai with her zanpakuto became a lieutenant under Captain Yasumeh Uratigi easily making the 6th squad a formidable force in the 13 court guards. Their calm yet clashing personalities did wonders for the structure of the 6th Division and it is likely well respected in soul society.
