Name:
Kobu Choukou

Aliases/ Nicknames:
Lacky, Keed (Key'd), Dry, And Chou.

Physical Description:
Body Wise ~ Kubo is a cute, black haired boy with large curved bangs to cover his right eye. Generally smoothed hair, cut low and to his neck. He has no distinguished features, or features one might find 'Special'.. His frame is that of a somewhat athletic, skinnier person. Bright skin, not corresponding to his depicted personality traits. His hair has highlights across the bangs, purple and a darkened red. Clothing Wise~ Kubo wears smallish earrings, and generally that's his only accessory. He wears the normal Shinigami uniform, and that's his clothing choices.

Zanpaktou Information:
Name/ Sealed Info: Poltergeist
Weapon Type: A normal sized Sakabatō, with curved serrated edges nearest the hilt.
Zanpaktou Element(s): Unknown. [???]
Zanpaktou Spirit(s): A white wisp, barely visible even to Kobu. It has absolutely no voice, but seems very comfortable with Morse code, tapping and hitting objects in beating patterns. It's abilities seem to be annoying it's foe into submission through frequencies. By constantly causing frequencies to bang and react to each other in the atmosphere, he can create very high pitched noises with different effects. It, physically has no shape, but is merely an amorphous form fazed into the atmosphere.
Release Phrase(s): "Haunt!"

Shikai: Upon chanting the release phrase, the blade will be thrown up vertically, the wisping white blade spreading into a wide array of amorphous fog tentacles, before dissipating with a screech into the atmosphere. The bloodcurdling release, at first, just seems to be an eery technique to frighten or startle. Behind the screech, a frequency is projected in slow steady paths. After only a few minutes, those within the vicinity of the long-ranged screech will feel as if a rupturing has struck there head in a vital area. Not fatal, but ten times worse then a headache. This effective technique (If fought while it's active) will cause bleeding to slowly seep from the targets ear, caused from the skin within the ear beginning to brittle as if tenderized.

This move, however, is not the release. Kobu's weapon re-manifest as a pair of pure white, nearly transparent, bracers on his teeth. His eye's lose there pupils and left blank except for a single thin purple line circulating slowly about the area where the pupil once was. The bracers on his teeth allow for each and every word spoken to expel his reiastu and spread into very odd frequencies with many different damaging effects. Every word spoken is a blood-curdling screech, normal words becoming wisping roars traveling over quarter mile ranges. These phrases, when no using a chant, are merely physical force. Speaking doesn't do much but shift normal patterns.

Screaming however will effect the hearing and brain functions of those nearest (Mess up the hearing, cause slight internal bleeding, leaking from the ears, cause enhanced headaches.)
Roaring will produce a physical force, similar to a vibration, capable of both damaging the ears (Only slightly less then screeching) and sending larger hollows flying. He generally has no attacks, but likes to keep his mouth shut until the target begins to take the side effects of the release. Once they notice they were weakened from the scream, he will retaliate with nearly all force, capitalizing on the moment and making them sleep. This is done, usually, by attempting to grasp the opponent and roar or scream at full strength for longer then eight seconds. This will thus cause them to go unconscious, incapable of waking for ten to fifteen minutes.. As a finisher (In This Position) Kobu may press the person close to his chest, holding on for dear life then roaring a second time. This results in a high pressured force at such a close range, not many could survive without permanent head trauma and significant wounds.

Powers And Abilities:

Kidō Practitioner~ Not a dunce when it comes to the demon arts, he enjoys using this in certain situations that may call for it. He prefers binding Kidō however, and can barely ever muster an admirable Hadō.

Zanjutsu Practitioner~ Not the best, but of admirable level with a blade. His own is a reverse, and can't do much.. making his style a wobbly defense, and parry combo, only striking off the targets blade for ensured blows, or cuts.

Enhanced Strength~ it seems he doesn't like to flaunt this, but his defensive-based strength tactics are.. More then admirable. When parrying attacks with his Zanpaktou, his defense can be wobbly and off balanced.. But it hardly ever breaks... A sign of his strength. Another sign of his strength, is his way of subduing hollows close range, using brute force to mash the blunt end of his weapon into the hollows face, leaving a blade-sized rivet. the after effect of this technique is usually the mask shattering unexpectedly.

Personality:
Generally quiet, and consumed in silence most of the time. He rather not speak, and is in fact a push over doing as everyone says..(It wouldn't be a surprise if an enemy told him to leave, and he did so.. it goes that deep.) it seems he's very emotional, as when put on the spot he might begin to sob or whine to himself.. if pointed out way 'too' much by more then a few people he'll run and cry. Generally, those who aren't gentle have little to no chance of getting to know him. (Unless there abrasive in there gestures to him.) He's obviously not one for fighting, and with such potent emotional disturbances.. He probably never will be. His will to fight doesn't exist, as of yet, so he may just be one to stand by helpless.


Biography/History:
Kobu was a very quiet child, living as an orphan since he was two. As he grew up, his spiritual powers developed and he began to mess around with the ghost and entities.. Oddly enough, he didn't like messing with Plus, but those becoming hollows. His power, as a human, was his ability to wisp and become a Poltergeist himself. Releasing odd beats and frequencies through tapping and whatnot he was capable of soothing the creatures and reinstating the normal soul, purifying them in the process. In an accident, he'd been purified out of body while trying to 'Soothe' a Fraccion.. The creature was too powerful, invulnerable to the sound due to its measure of power. Kobu was nearly killed by this creatures cero in his Poltergeist form, but was slashed from behind by a Zanpakuto, purifying him. it seemed the Shinigami mistook him for a Hollow, sending his soul to the next world. He lost his Poltergeist ability upon entrance to the new world, deciding to drop his past and keep on like normal. he became a Shinigami for personnel reasons. (MAKESHIFT BIO, ENYONE! ;D?)
