Subject to change as events and thoughts unfold.
Name: Daven Moto
Aliases/ Nicknames: None
Physical Description: Short and thin (if you can see under the robes. Very few people see him without the robes on.) His face is covered by a mask, but the ears and tail are pretty obvious.
H: 5 Feet tall
W: 100 lbs
Build: Thin
Hair: Red
Eyes: Brown
Skin: Fine pelt of fox fur
Zanpacto: Name: Kidorui Genso (?????) (Rare Earth Elements)
Normal form: Standard Katana appearance. Gold wire wrapped around the hilt, silver sharkskin under the wire. Oval shaped tsuba, also gold colored, internal design is of a crane wrapped through and around the tsuba. Silver tassle off the back of the hilt.
Shikai form: ACHIEVED "Erupt, Kidorui Genso!" Chinesse TaiChi sword is the closest form. It is straight bladed, double edged and extremely flexable. The tassle has changed into a weighted chain to throw and entangle the enemy. The guard has shrunk so that it is flush on the flat of the blade, larger on the edges.
Bankai: ACHIEVEDThe sword grows a long handle, with the blade increasing in width and heaviness becomming a Naganata, heavy and hard striking. It is also sharpened on the back side of the blade, but the main cutting surface is the outter curve.
Special Accessories: The Mask. It hides his features for some reason. No one really knows why.
Skills: Martial Arts. Bwtween his constant practice with his Kidorui Genso and his empty handed practice, his work with a bow and his practice with his dual whips, there are very few that come close to his mastery of fighting styles. He has traveled to other countries and places to learn the fighting styles of those places. He can fight in the Capoera style as well as Savatte, from Tai Chi to straight Karate. While he may not be a master of any one style, he can mix these to a point that confuses other martial artists.
Abilities: He is inherantly a fast learner. He can pick up a language foreign to him in a relatively short time (a matter of days to functioning language skills, months to full fluency). He has strong afinity to magicks, in the four elements and Kitsune specific magick.
Personality: Serious and sober, quiet and reserved, centered all the time, he can be seen as very humorless and cruel. He has a very soft spot for children, and unless they are a direct threat to him, he won't strike them to kill, not even in accident. Mostly he is stoic, taking hits that would seriously injure others wihtout reaction. He has a talent of being able to slip into places where there are many people who don't notice him for some reason. He blends into the background and until he steps forward and starts interacting, mostly he's ignored. It can be bad when he's in a depressed mode, but mostly it's a huge asset in recon and sneak attacks.
Biography/History: Born five millenia ago into the Kitsune Clan as a one tail, he went out of his way to learn everything he could while growing, with the ultimate aim to be hatamoto (Special Retainer) to the Lord of the Kitsune.
Since One Tailed Kitsune are very underpowered, he resolved to learn the Elements of Creation; Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Ice, Wood and Metal. Learning to master those took 2000 years, and mastering the magicks of the Kitsune, stealth and trickery, misdirection and silence took another thousand years.
After that point, he traveled. He had earned eight tails, one for each element and the magicks of the Kitsune. He was one short of reaching Nine-Tailed status, the highest a Kitsune could attain. He was skilled in everything a Kitsune could be, but there was still something missing. That lack of a tail irritated him.
So he left Kitsune society to adventure and extend his abilities. He wanted to understand the societies of others, to know what the Dragons were like, why the Toads interfered in Human life.
And he did learn. He was a loyal warrior and none that met him could say that he was anything other than respectful and disciplined. But while he was offered a permanent position many times, restlessness still drove him. He saw abuses by others, people taking advantage of each other and other rases.
Then in his 3350th year, he found the Samuari culture of Medevial Japan.
He studied them from a distance, quietly, as a woman servant in their employ. He watched how they were very restricted in their life, how their actions were totally and completely constrained in their actions by their honor, and he didn't understand that.
Honor wasn't a concept the Kitsune had much familiarity with. Most often promises would be made and broken almost as fast, simply because those promises were not important, they were a means to the end. But for the first time he started seeing the consequences of those broken promises. And he understood why keeping those promises were important.
So again he worked. He found a mercenary group to join, a set of ronin who were dedicated to training themselves and others to a pinacle of perfection. He started out in the Combat arm, the area he was most proficient at, but eventually the killing got old. He was good enough that there was little challenge taking on one or two enemies and defeating them, and taking on more by himself could have harmed those who were not involved in the fight.
The first time he stepped in front of a ronin who was trying to take over a village and kicked the ever lovin' s**t out of him, it felt right, absolutely perfect. In his meditations that night, he discovered that he wanted to keep others safe from the ravages of those who would take advantage of them. Standing at the gate and keeping those behind him safe, THAT was important.
And when he fell down, off balance, when he finished his meditations, he realized that he had his last tail.
He has been doing this job for nearly a millenia at this point. It is his life, and it stretches his abilities to defend those who might not want to be protected by him. But it doesn't matter to him. A fight is a good fight if it saves others from death.
But it was still unsatisfying. Beating on those humans who were out to enslave and hurt other humans was fun for some time, but it paled after a while, they died so easly after all. He kept going, but started seeing Hollow around him. Those spirits of the dead called to him to ask him to save them, and he actively started doing so when he defended a dead comrade from a Hollow who was out to destroy that soul.
That is what brought him into contact with the Soul Society. He decided to travel (as a ladybug on the Soul Reaper's gi) to the Soul Society. He observed the society itself, how it was structured, the different squads. He even traveled out into the Districts and started observing those people, attracting little notice to himself. After a time, he presented himself at one of the gates to be admitted into the Seretei.
He is now learning the things he needs to learn in the Society. Once he passed the basic methods of the Destructive Arts and other such magicks, learning how to control his spirit pressure, he excelled and brought notice to himself through his martial skills. His mask and tails were ignored as minor excentricities due to the fact that he was such an excellent fighter.
In one practice against a Hollow, which was supposed to be a minor Hollow, a Menos Grande came to the bait instead. Daven was the only Soul Reaper who was near enough do anything, and at this point he accidentally summoned his Shikai form. The strike against the Menos that destroyed a significant portion of the surronding land shocked him totally. The human officials passed it off to a small meteor strike.
Captain, 1st Squad The SereiteiComprehensive list of powers:
Base Theme: Kenetic manipulation
Avatar: A mountain that manifests looking like Mount Fuji
Shikai: kinetic multiplication in
downward strikes, binding with the chain and ball from the other end, kinetic strikes downward with the same ball.
Kiri Kuzusu! "To Split A Mountain" The Special Power is that it can actually split a mountain, but instead of being an energy wave that shoots like Ichigo's Crescent Moon Wave, it is focused on a point, where it is contacting the enemy. It hits and all the energy of the spirit pressure flows out and crushes the enemy, cleaving spirits, bone, matter, and all. At a full power strike, assuming the target survived, it would be driven into the ground better than 30 feet, with a resulting crater of about 60 feet in diameter. It can be controlled as to the amount of power. So far, it can only be used in a downward strike, either shoulder to groin or straight overhand. The fighting style with this form is very circular, very deceptive, capable of hitting from any direction on a whim. The entanglement weight can also cause the Kiri Kuzusu strike.
Earth Step: A technique that allows Daven to travel through the Earth to other locations. Not as fast as Shunpo.
"Slap balls": Just some balls made of clay that contain caltrops, ball bearings or a solid shot of metal. When kenetically increased, these can tear through targets. Daven keeps a supply in his pouch.
Shield: Attacks involving a physical object coming at me can be countered by imposing Kidorui Genso between it and me. Direct attacks only, not area of effect, and no help against electricity based attacks.
Bankai: kinetic multiplication in any direction, down, up, sweep, thrust, sideways, any strike ups to a factor of five. Able to "fire" balls from his pouch up to Mach 6 at opponents by using the bankai like a bat or a tennis racket.
In this form, the Kiri Kuzusu strike quintuples (at minimum) in power, and it is capable of destroying Mount Everest if it strikes. In this form instead of the Kiri Kuzusu strike can be used in ANY direction, thrust, throw, ground up, horizontal or even in blocking. The weighted chain disappears and becomes a tassel again but can be pulled out of the handle to recover the Naganata if necessary.
As part of this release, everything that has motion to it is in his control. He cannot control anything being physically manipulated by another person, so he could not take over their bodies or their weapons, but a scattered cloud of weapons like Kuchki's shikai release could be taken over by him.
He has to actually strike the object in question and transmit force from his weapon into the object he wishes to control.
Other items can be manipulated, such as the air. Two spinoffs of this power exist.
Air Bullet: A compressed wave of Air and Sound, fired at an opponent. When it strikes, the effect is as though the unprotected body of his opponent broke the sound barrier. Daven can increase this to be multiples of the sound barrier, meaning that it could be three times or four times the speed of sound. This strike is hard enough to shatter bones and break delicate tissues, like eardrums, eyes and sinus tissues.

http://www.aviationexplorer.com/sonicboomplane_navy.jpg http://fun-hunter.com/Pics/SoundBarrier/SoundBarrier001.jpg Whirlwind: By moving his naginata through the air and adding force to it, he can create a tornado and direct the damaage. A variant of this allows him to send Earth at his opponent in speeds in excess of 1500 miles per hour. This essentially liquifies the ground and makes it as though it were a landslide or avalanche going in the direction he wishes it to go.
Kitsune Heritage: Multiplicity and "false copies" of myself (maximum of 9 that are very short lived, less than one minute), remote puppet (only one) that can fight while "I" stay safe someplace else, able to hide in plain sight and able to confuse pursuit. Shape change to a full fox with nine tails (no additional play effects, just a "special effect" for story)

Elemental mastery: Through several thousand years of practice and study, able to use the elements of nature, Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, Ice, Metal through the medium of the elementals of that element, meaning petitioning and summoning creatures of those elements and asking them to do things for me.

This is for story only, not a combat skillSquad Mastery: Hand to Hand combat combining kido and reiatsu strikes. Has developed his own version of "Flash Cry" in which his hands and feet can hit multiple times per second. This does not increase the damage dealt, just the amount of strikes he can put on the enemy.
Captain Skills: Shunpo, Telepathy (through the Hell's Butterflies), Reiatsu power up to 970 or so (on a scale of 1000), deflection of reiatsu and kido based attacks that are less than 300 or so simply due to overwhelming reiatsu.

Reido, an anti-cero beam that cancels out cero strikes.
-----Reido: A large beam of black energy is fired from the user hand or fingers. Can be used as a weapon and a way to negate the effects of Cero. Reido means zero in japanese so i find it works, since cero is zero in spainish.Reido shield, by wrapping his Reido energy around him, he can shield himself from multiple cero blasts at once.
