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: “Burn them all to ashes! Foji-Raka"

Shikai: (ATTAINED) Kiba's shikai when released 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.
-Extra Ability: Polishing: When Kiba focuses the heat out of the handle of a peice made by Kasai-forging, it allows him to pass off the weapons to other people. The weapons can also exist outside of Kiba's touch now. Unfortunately they cannot exist very long outside of Kiba's touch.
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...

Yet they will never hold again...

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.
