Name: Tomomi Iwakuro

Appearance Age: 22

Actual Age: 921

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Personality: He is calm and keeps to himself at most times. He does however, like to be around people a lot, and will start conversations. He doesn't like to fight and kill, but will do so anyways. He will die to save any of his allies. He loves to sit down and have drinks with his fellow Captains, or any Squad member for that matter.

Bio: As a child in the world of the living, he could see the spirits of those who had passed. He couldn't see hollows very well, but he could feel them. While playing with his friends one day, a Hollow happened to crash down on them, and attacked him and his friends. In a desperation to save his friends, he threw his own life to the Hollow. Once he was a spirit, he could finally see the hollows, and saw something different. This time, he saw someone in black robes come and attack one of them. The Shinigami, what he was told they were named, killed the foul demons to protect the souls of the living, and to cleanse the Hollows of their sins they have to cut them across their mask.

Tomomi followed what this shinigami said, and he was sent to the Soul Society. Once there, he began to realize he felt different. Tattoo's upon his arm were believed to hold a giant serpent inside of Tomomi. The serpent brought winter when it came by the sea or by the sky. Tomomi soon found out about the shinigami's and how to become one. Being one to not take a family and have no great family, he wasn't as smiled upon by the others. Tomomi, even with his height, could defend himself very skillfully in his combat classes. When he finally got his blades, he received two, and was told it was very rare to ever get these.

Tomomi then was asked to join the 1st Court Guard Squad, the 'Elite' of the squads. Tomomi accepted, and trained himself until his power rose to a lieutenant level. Once he was able to know the name of his blade's spirit, he found out it was the spirit of the Twin-Horned Queen Serpent, the one believed to be locked inside of him. From there, he was asked to join Division 11, which he did so as well. Once more, training followed, he had not only received a Shikai, but he had gotten to a Captain's level and was able to release a minimal amount of his Bankai.

Tomomi rose to the top from being at the bottom. He tells his story to other shinigami, to inspire them to do their best. Now, he has become the 1st Division Captain, and the Sotaicho.

~Zanpakutō~


Zanpakutō Position: Both zanpakutos are positioned on the back of his waist.
Sealed Form Appearance: Two of these
Name: Tsuin-Keiteki Ouhi-Hebi
Element: Water/Lightning
Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: Ouhi

Shikai Appearance: Second form
Shikai Command: 'Strike, Ouhi-Hebi.'
Shikai Abilities:

Dokudokushii Aisu-Kiba (Venomous Ice-Fang) -
If the blades are to sink into the skin, or slash it, the victim will be infected by the Ouhi-Hebi's venom. The venom will slow the target down by at least 30-50%, depending on their size, and will last until Tomomi's Shikai is discharged. If Tomomi is killed while the venom is still in the victim, the venom will stick, and soon attack the nervous system, possibly killing or just permanently immobilizing his target..

Nyoronyoro (Slitheringly) -
This ability is quite the opposite of his first ability. This can only affect Tomomi himself, but it will increase is speed quite a bit, and his reaction time is quite faster than normal.

Hebi Yoroi (Snake Armor) -
He doesn't gain any real armor, but he is given something just as good. He is filled with a chemical that causes him to feel less pain than a normal human. Almost like an adrenaline shot, this can make him go longer, and fight a lot harder. The side-affects include: nausea, headache, muscle cramps, broken bones from carelessness during exposure, and possible ripped/torn muscles. Although, being able to be stabbed through with a blade and keep going may out-way the side-affects in some ways. This can and sometimes will pass over in to Bankai stage.


Obtained?: Yes

Bankai Appearance: Halberd
Extended Name: Tsuin-Keiteki Ouhi Aisu-Hebi, dageki..
Bankai Abilities:

When bankai is released, a rare site comes about; His zanpakuto's spirit can be seen coming down from the sky, twisting around itself above him.

Gouzen-Ikazuchi (Roaring-Thunder) -
Ouhi-Hebi draws water particles into her mouth, and also causes the air to heat up, from made friction. When Ouhi-Hebi finally fires her blast that ices over everything with a great roar, the friction makes the sound of thunder. This attack can freeze an opponent in an ice chamber, which Tomomi will usually shatter, or Ouhi-Hebi will bite through, but the target can possibly escape, but with a low chance.

Shibun, Tokkan (Divide Into Four Pieces, Lightning Attack) -
Lightning will span across the sky in a fan pattern toward the target. Four strands of lightning will then come down at the target in the reverse manner, so all four will connect on the target. This attack can be potentially deadly, but can be dodged. As lightning is unpredictable, the individual charges can align at different times, or twist themselves off of the target.

Dokudokushii Touketsu-Tsume (Venomous Frozen-Claw) -
This attack deals with the blades. If the blades touch skin, it will form ice over where it has touched. As like venom, the ice will spread, and begin to immobilize it's target. Finally, once the venom has taken over the limbs, or immobilized the target's legs, Tomomi finishes of the victim. Ice cannot be broken very easily, those trained in the ways of reiatsu will break it quicker.
Ice Coverage over limb: Average of 4 post.
Ice Coverage Over Two Limbs: Effect strengthens, only 8 post for ice to cover two limbs.
Ice Coverage of Full Body-No Head: Average of 12 post.

Hankai (Partial Destruction) - Max time released is five post. Further training, or fighting with Ouhi-Hebi, may lead to long time limit of release.
This is where Ouhi-Hebi is 'let off her leash'. Ouhi-Hebi will begin a furious assault against the enemy of her keeper. She will cause as much destruction as possible while killing her pray as well, but with this attack, Tomomi may only keep her in low restraint. Tomomi will only be able to stop her if he puts away his bankai, or Ouhi-Hebi's time limit has been reached. She may only be in Hankai for five post. In those five post, she can cause a whole lot of destruction.

Obtained?: Yes

~Dashing~

A most basic technique that allows the user to throw him/herself to a certain direction using a certain angle of which way the the stance is directed and executed. Based on an individual's attributes, dashing can be quite a moderately fast move instead of running. Also depending on the distance, dashing can be quite useful if in closer range to the opponent. This technique is basically for all ranks.

~Shunpo (Flash-Step)~

A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. This technique requires a very high level of training, thus a most difficult one to obtain. One, who is of a high lieutenant ranking, must be able to possess Shunpo. Furthermore, it is a most fearsome mid-range/long-range speed known to be the exceeding ability than dashing. All in all, this ability can only be used by lieutenants and captains. For lieutenants it is nearly mastered, yet not perfected. Therefore, it is only of mid-range level 1. For captains Shunpo is of a level 2 maximum ability in which it is fully perfected for both mid-range and long-range.

~Air Walk~

Another skill, though not necessarily related, is the Soul Reaper ability to walk on air using spiritual energy. By collecting and solidifying spiritual particles beneath their feet, Soul Reapers can gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop themselves from falling. This particular ability can only be obtained from officer level. Furthermore, it cannot necessarily be used every so often, especially for officers. It is an ability that can only be temporarily used but cannot last for a very long period of time. However, for lieutenants, they can stay on air for quite a bit longer and for captains, it can be held for quite a long while considering the great amount of riatsu within a captain ranking individual.

~Senka (Flash Blossom)~

Although Shunpo is connected with this ability, this technique possess a unique name and style of its own. This technique is known as Senka (闪花, Flash Blossom), a flash step combined with a spin to quickly move behind the enemy, followed by a strike aimed to destroy the saketsu chain and the hakusui soul sleep with a combination of two quick thrusts. This technique is one of the two, that Youruichi developed mixing Shunpo to complete its ability. Furthermore, only certain individuals, of high ranking captain level can possess such an ability.

~Utsusemi~

This technique is one of the most difficult speed abilities of them all. Furthermore, this is also one of the two, that Youruichi developed as well. It is the 4 ways of the Shihou through Shunpo which is also known as "Utsusemi". It's ability is a speed known to be so fast that the user leaves an afterimage of him/herself. Its affect is most absolute, superb, and flawless if ever fully perfected. And to be more specific, Utsusemi's speed is so fast, that the enemy can practically feel and touch the physical body of the afterimage and not even know the very fact that it is nothing more but an afterimage. Its very image can easily deceive the eyes of the enemy. This technique is very rare, thus few captains are able to possess such a flawless ability. Furthermore, it is most lethal when combining Senka after Utsusemi is executed.

Name: Tanya Hashima

Age: N/A

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Streight

Personality: Tanya has spent many hard years in the Rukongai. She dosent trust many people and usualy keeps to herself. She is bloodthirsty and loves to fight, but knows what fights she can not win. She is a proud warrior, yet is known to have 'random moments' quite often. Dont be surprised if she casualy slides up to you and begins a conversation.
Bio:

When Tanya was an infant, she lived in the better part of the rukon.
One night the slums attacked and her people were murdered, slaughtered even. Her mother, her father, her brothers and sisters, all lost. She was saved by the blacksmith down the lane before a slum could kill her. He brought her back to his forge, and raised her as his own daughter. As Tanya grew the forger taught her how to read, write, speak and by the age of thirteen, the basics of forging. For Tanya’s sixteenth birthday, the forger asked permission from one of his friends in the thirteen protection squads. He was given permission and Tanya entered the world of the living. Not long after she settled in the house she would stay in, she was attacked by a hollow. She fought as hard as she could to get away, but was no match for the she-hollow. This hollow deemed herself as the love hollow. The hollow would take beautiful women, put them under her control and use them to lure men’s souls to her. It was almost a year now that Tanya had done this for it, and the hollow let Tanya go, but with a curse and blindness. The hollow spilled her poison into her eyes, thus blinding her. The curse she laid upon her is that for every man she came to love, he would love her back with a deep passion. This would continue for three months before another man came into her life, and they would love one another equally well. Once the men would find out about echo her, they would fight and kill one another, leaving Tanya to weep with a shattered heart.

Tanya returned to her father, telling him the news of what happened. , why she was blind and so on. He said he was happy he taught her all he knew of forging before she went blind, but he had great sorrow within. Tanya, fifteen years later, started forging her own blade. She collected her life savings and went to where the forgers for the Zamputo’s were, and asked them to teach her how to make one. They agreed and she made a very fine blade indeed. [Explained in Blade appearance] After she created her blade, she returned home and her father, now frail and old, told her everything. How he was not really her father, and how he saved her. Tanya did not hate him for this but loved him even more. He taught her the rudiments of fighting, for he had been in the thirteen squads before, but left when the new captains were appointed. He taught her all he could then told her to practice every morning on top of the far hill. She did every morning, and after her warm-ups, someone would spar with her. Fixing her stance and helping with her speed and agility. By the time Tanya’s looks aged to about nineteen, she stayed that appearance for many a year, the forger told her. One day he grew sick and the healers could not help him. They said he had cancer in his brain and heart, and nothing could save him in this world or the other world. Therefore, the forger died, and the entire village wept. For years, Tanya kept the forge running, but times grew hard and she had to sell the business. Thankfully, the buyer was a kind rich man, and let her keep her job. She hired an apprentice and taught him how to forge. Forty years later the boy had mastered it, and the quality of his work almost matched Tanya’s when she was at that age. She left the forge in hi care, deciding to join the school for Shinigami. The others would tease her about being blind, and how she would often clip the doors and desks. The school was so noisy with the hum of the earth, and the people’s spiritual pressure. She surpassed all the classes with exceptionally high marks, with an exception to Kido, and kept it secret. She let the people think that she was stupid, and when they called her name for ‘graduating with astounding grades’ her teacher had said, she made a speech. To all of you who thought I was no good at sparring, at learning and at anything else at life, to those who thought I was the worth of mud, I have graduated above most of you. A blind girl, and most likely to become a high ranked officer. She walked off the stage with a roar of applause, and the angry shouts of people whom she had spoken to. Nobody but the teachers and those of her village knew she was blind, but she had become someone many looked up upon. Some recommend her as captain, for her great fighting abilities and her abundance of spiritual pressure, but Tanya laughed with them and said that she isn’t good at giving orders, let alone take them very well. She thought she would be lucky if she even got into the top ten seats, taking consideration to her... impairment.

Division: First Division

Rank: 3rd Seat

~Appearance~
Picture/Description: (Please ignore the Zanna. Originaly this was a different RPC's apperance)



Height: 6'1

Weight: 155 lb

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Crimson

Usual Clothing: On usual days she wears the cloathing that is shown on the picture. But when she is training or doing something around the 13 protection squads, she wears a Shinigami uniform with an orange silken sash around her waist. The top is low cut and does show some boob, but no where near as much as Rangiku Matsumoto

Zanpakutō Position: Tanya carries her blade on her left hip. The knot is ties loosely incase of a fight, but firm enough to stay on wile walking/running.

~Zanpakutō~
Sealed Form Appearance:

Blade:Its blade is mostly black with the faintest strip of white at the bottom, and it shines like the stars in a moonless night. It was thin enough to slice in between a persons ribs, yet strong enough that you could heat it up, place it in ice water, the pound on it with feirce blows without it being shattered, let alone cracked.The hilt is simple. Its guard is a thick plate of steel dipped in silver, [for appeal and protection] and the hilt itself is nothing but a crimson wrap, identical to the colour of her sheath.

Sheath: Tanya’s sheath is simple. It’s long and wide enough to hold her blade, but its colour and design is unique. Imagine yourself pricking your finger on a sharp object, and a single drop of blood oozes out. Take note of the red. It is a rich colour yet it is slightly bright and very dark at the same time. Imagine that as the base, and it being polished many times over, and now that red hilt gleams. Now the silver design at the bottom. It spirals around the sheath until it’s about a quarter of the way up, but the strands are loose and not woven together tightly, but like a wandering path. The same pattern is repeated at the mouth of the sheath but only goes down one tenth of the way. This metal is silver coloured and it too, gleams like the red base.

Name: Turenai Tsuchi [crimson earth]

Element: None

Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance:



Shikai Appearance:



Shikai Command: 'Bleed Turenai Tsuchi'

Shikai Abilities: Turenai Tsuchi has two abilitys in shikai. The fist one happens when the blade spills blood fom the opponent. As it cuts through and hits blood it releases a poisen made from Tanyas own blood. The more blood spilt, the more poisen is injected. Tanya has to be careful of this ability because it actualy uses her own blood. The amount her opponent looses, she looses.

The second ability is quite different however. It is very simalar to Zamari Leroux's abilaty to control an object. 'Love' I beleive he called it. It is also like Soi fon's shikai ability. The has to wound her opponent twice in the same area in order to gain temporary contol of whatever she wounds. Two injurys caused by her to the leg would let her contol the leg. (Lasts for four posts)

Obtained?: No.

Bankai Appearance:


(Still fights with a katana, simalar looking to Shikai blade but slightly longer and more jagged)

Extended Name: 'Bleed to death Turenai Tsuchi'

Bankai Abilities: To be honest I have no idea what my bankai abilitys should be. If someone would be kind enough to help me brainstom for bankai ablilities that would be uberly awsome!

Obtained?: No.

~Skills, Techniques, and Kidō~

~Hado~

Hadō #1: Shō (衝, Thrust)
Description
Pushes the target away from the caster.

Hadō #2: Beniikazuchi (Crimson Thunder)

Description
A beam of deep red lightning is blasted from the user's pointing finger towards the enemy. It's intention is to make so much noise, that it breaks the enemy's orientation. Its strike is not very strong but the impact can make superficial bruises. It's a good Hadō for initiates.

Hadō #4: Byakurai (白雷, White Lightning)

Description
Fires a concentrated bolt of lightning from the caster's forefinger.

Hadō #5: Kūkū no Akuryoku (空空 の 握力, Grip of the Void)

Description
This art creates a short-lived bubble of nothingness around its target, causing weak spirits to explode. Stronger beings are not affected at all.

Hadō #8: Kutsūnomaru (苦痛 の 丸, Circle of Pain)


~Bakudo~

Bakudō #1: Sai (塞, Restrain)
Descritption
Locks a target's arms in place behind their back.

Bakudō #2: Kabe (壁, Wall)
Description
This spell erects a wall of spiritual energy in front of its target. It is neither high nor wide though, so most spirits, Hollows and Shinigami are just able to jump over it or go around it.

Bakudō #4: Hainawa (這縄, Crawling Rope)
Description
An energy rope entangles a target's arms.

Bakudō #7: Gaman no Fuuin (我慢の封印, Seal of Patience)
Description
When invoked, the seal creates a white mark on the casters right palm. When this mark is touched to a living being, the mark is transferred to it's body and turns black. From that moment, the flesh touched by the mark becomes rooted to that location in space, relative to the earth. What this means is that the part of the body that bears the mark cannot be moved from that location without being forcefully removed from the body. And even if that is done, it will continue to float there until the spell is released. While it's low rank is due to the extremely low amount of spiritual power required to activate, the spell itself is actually quite complicated and difficult to pull off properly. For this reason, most Shingami pass it up for other sealing spells that are just as effective for far less hassle.

Bakudō #8: Seki (斥, Repulse)
Description
Creates a round shield that seems to temporarily paralyze and repel whatever strikes it.

Bakudō #9: Geki (撃, Strike)
Description
Engulfs a target in red light, completely paralyzing them.
