Nanashi
Physical Description:
Like all Shinigami of Captain rank, he wears the Usual Attire and Coat, he has abandoned his old clothing style and always wears his Captain's coat. He measures at 5'10 and has dark blue hair along with eerie red eyes, making his constant glare all the more piercing. He wears black gloves in order to be able to fight in hand to hand and not hurt himself by accident too. His zanpakuto lays on his waist from one end to the other due to it's small size. He has a blue pendant on his neck that he keeps hidden. His skin is white and his body is muscled well but at the same time it is also lean, not overly muscular, built flexibility.
Zanpaku-to:
A small blade made for quick fightning and swift strikes rather. It is small, compact and sharp, efficient in it's use and used for speed rather than force. It does not deal too well with long ranged attacks obviously enough and isn't meant for defensive maneuvers either.
Shikai:
Name: Fuki Tsuki
Zanpakuto Spirit:
Release Command : Wither and Fade, Fuki Tsuki
Shape and Ability- The Zanpakuto turns into a strap on his arm, wielding three rows of thin Kunai. Each of these holds a different poison. One set is Corrosive, the second set wields a numbing agent and the last one is for explosive kunai with an added nerve gas. After he runs out of Kunai these replenish ones more. Apart from these Kunai he also gains an additional pair of clawed gloves, containing a deadly toxic fast acting poison.
Ichiban Narabi, Sui (First Row, Acid): The First row of kunai he wields hold a strong Corrosive poison. Upon contact with a target, the acid comes out of the bladed weapon
Niban Narabi,Mukankaku (Second Row, Numbing): The second row of kunai contains numbing agents that if overused, may send it's target into a coma. These are meant for the capture of enemies rather than their death.
Sanban Narabi, kitai bakuha (Third row, Gas Explosion): A set of Kunai set to explode at will, once he sends out his own reiatsu signature, making these explode and release nerve gas.
Hebi Shikon: Gloves with clawed ends that inject lethal poison into the target, It is a fast acting agent and overall a suitable skill for such a close range fighter.
Bankai:
Bankai Name- Fuki Tsuki no Hebinagi
During Bankai Nanashi becomes Covered in Black armor with his right arm being covered by an extendable and controlable arm in the shape of a python's head, fangs an all. It poisons upon direct contact of it's target or through it's fangs. The poison has an anti-regen factor so that the wounds do not heal easily until the poison runs it's course or is taken out. It has a few other varied methods of battle, such as producing acetylene/oxygen based flame(Much like welding this would burn at a temperature of over 6000 degrees F) mixed with his own poison. Spreading poison mist once extended and being able to produce a blade from it's mouth that extends itself. Apart from it's poisonous effects, the bankai form grants the user heightened speed and the perception to be able to mentally and physically keep up with said speed. In this state his usual speed is multiplied many times over. And finally the head area can act as a shield, although the armor is also quite good the Attacking Arm is actually the strongest part in the armor. Along with these he gains two sensory abilities, one through vibration and the other through heat.
Resurrección:
Covered in White Hollow armor, Akira takes up a Humanoid form with longer than normal and flexible arms as well as long claws/nails. His mask grows twisted horns as well as long fangs and his skin(which is now acidic to the touch) emits poisonous fumes that permeate the air, it's effects causing dizziness, loss of awareness of speed/time relation and loss of adrenaline along with slight relaxation. Blue lightning-like marks cover his body and a hollow hole is placed upon his stomach. He also grows a bladed tail along with arm blades too, each of these poisonous in their own right. The tail's blade looks more like an ax too. Nine of his body parts emit a constant acetylene based flame, using the poison inside his body to evaporate it into the air, though of lower temperatures than the ones used on Bankai he can also use said fire through the opening on his own hollow-formed mouth to use it as a gigantic attack, definitively his strongest attack of all.

Shunpo Mastery- "Lightning Step" is a form of high speed movement utilized by a user's reiatsu(compressed spiritual energy). He has based almost his entire fighting style around being the quicker fighter.
Reverse Demon- This Technique nullifies enemy movement by hitting them with a perfectly opposite surge of energy.
Vast Spiritual Power- Although he always keeps it hidden, Nanashi after years of practicing with his Kido, Shunpo and Shunko, along with his constant training and even birth trait, he has managed to obtain a formidable amount of reiatsu, although he has always had the disipline to keep it under control.
Hakuda Mastery (hand to hand)- He is a practitioner of Xingyiquan, more specifically Xinyi Liuhe, it is one of the major "internal" Chinese Martial Arts translating to "Form/Intention Boxing" or "Shape/Will Boxing" and it is characterized by aggressive, seemingly linear movements and explosive power. There is no single organizational body governing the teaching of the art and several variant styles exist. A practitioner of xingyiquan uses coordinated movements to generate bursts of power intended to overwhelm the opponent, simultaneously attacking and defending. Forms vary from school to school but include barehanded sequences and versions of the same sequences with a variety of weapons. These sequences are based upon the movements and fighting behavior of a variety of animals. The training methods allow the student to progress through increasing difficulty in form sequences, timing and fighting strategy. Xingyiquan features aggresive shocking attacks and direct footwork, The linear nature of Xingyiquan hints at both the military origins and the influence of spear technique alluded to in it's mythology. Despite it's hard, angular appearance, cultivating "soft" internal strenght or qi is essential to achieving power in the art.
The goal of the xingyiquan exponent is to reach the opponent quickly and drive powerfully through them in a single burst. This is achieved by coordinating one's body as a single unit and the intense focusing of one's qi.
Efficiency and economy of movement are the qualities of a zingyiquan stylist and its direct fighting philosophy advocates simultaneous attack and defence. There are few kicks except for extremely low foot kicks and some mid-level kicks, and techniques are prized for theird deadliness rather than aesthetic value.
Xingyiquan uses the five classical Chinese elementsto metaphorically represent five different states of combat. Also called the "Five Fists" or "Five Phases," the Five Elements are related to Taoist cosmology although the names do not literally correspond to the cosmological terms.
Xingyiquan practitioners use the five elements as an interpretative framework for reacting and responding to attacks. This follows the five element theory, a general combat formula which assumes at least three outcomes of a fight; the constructive, the neutral, and the destructive. Xingyiquan students train to react to and execute specific techniques in such a way that a desirable cycle will form based on the constructive, neutral and destructive interactions of five element theory. Where to aim, where to hit and with what technique—and how those motions should work defensively—is determined by what point of which cycle they see themselves in
Xingyiquan is based on twelve distinct animal forms. Present in all regional and family styles, these emulate the techniques and tactics of the corresponding animal rather than just their physical movements. Many schools of xingyiquan have only small number of movements for each animal, though some teach extended sequences of movements. Once the individual animal forms are taught, a student is often taught an animal linking form (shi'er xing lianhuan) which connects all the taught animals together in a sequence.
Xingyiquan has three main developmental branches:
Shanxi, ********* and Henan
However, the identification of three separate branches is tenuous because of the extensive cross-training that occurred across their lineages. This suggests that the branches did not evolve in isolation, thus diluting any major differences between them.
Schools of the Shanxi branch have a narrower stance, lighter footwork and tend to be more evasive. Schools of the ********* branch emphasise powerful fist and palm strikes, with slightly different evasive footwork. Schools of the Henan branch are typically the most aggressive of the three. Due to the fact that he has lived hundreds of years Nanashi has had enough time to be able to master both Shanxi and Henan, often combining the styles and in turn making his own.
Zanjutsu Mastery- As far a swordplay goes Nanashi has reached a fairly satisfactory level as a captain and is able to hold his own with it, though he'd be unable to challenge most if not all captains on a straight out sword fight.
Kido Mastery- A master of Kido due to his past, he knows all spells and barries used so far. More capable and with enough Reiatsu for a constant barrage of spells he has managed to keep up his skills with little problem

He has zero tolerance for bullshit and wasting time. He seems to send off a cold atmosphere rather than a friendly one. He doesn't welcome weakness either, disliking the very thought of association with said subject.
Biography/History:
Born in the Sereitei he lived a sort of world sheltered life, never going out of his home, he was trained in martial arts, educated fairly well and raised in old customs. He was raised as a model future heir to the Fuma family/clan. His clan belonged to the Lower Noble Class and he was trained intensively for the sake of the clan. Having come up short of their perfect expectations he was later on drafted away into the Shinigami Academy. Apart from Shunpo, he excelled in his ability to grasp, analize and master Hakuda extremely well, he followed this track and after an early graduation from the Academy he was sent into the 2nd Squad or the Onmitsukido. As an unknown person and face in the second squad, he lived relatively well, soon after that he was sent to take place and guard the Detention Unit's prision, AKA the Maggot's Nest. which he accepted and even took it as far as to be in command of said unit. This in turn only caused more turmoil inside his family and he was disowned soon after the disputes had reached their peak. Not being one to really care he dropped his family name and even birth name and replaced it with his current name, Nanashi. During his Service to the Maggot's Nest, he adopted a mask in order to keep his identity as far away from public eye as possible, he was now merely a disowned heir with no real name for himself. He became even more silent and socially withdrawn afterwards, which didn't matter seeing as he had no friends to socialize with. Thirty years afterwards he was sent into the patrol Corps and slowly rose in rank thereafter. A few hundred years later after assuming command of this Unit, he adopted his current, darker attire and has kept it until his rise to Captain Rank. He has had almost zero social involvement and is always either seen working or training. Throughout all this he has kept on studying martial arts, since to him slacking off is death. He then began to train extensively in Kido up to the point where he was even hired as part of the Kido Corps. Spending a few hundred years there he soon rose in ability by neglecting his Hand to Hand combat and instead learning new Kido and combinations along with that. Having excellent control over his Reiatsu he was made into the Kido Corps' Captain after having been a member of said group for around 250 years. It wasn't until around a hundred years later or so that he was infected by surprise and made into Vizard. After managing to gain back control he decided to escape Soul Society before he was captured, he now resides alone in the human world and takes up a part-time job as a bartender.
