Character Name: Ayame Hiksori
Characters Alias(s), if any: Aya-(honorific of choice)
Age: 21
Sex: Female
Race: Shinigami
Approximate Height: 5'5"
Approximate Wight: 125
History/Background: Ayame has lived within the realm of the dead for too long to remember anything about her life when she was alive. She does however, carry a strong sense of justice about her, something she showed a good deal of when growing up in the Rukon District of Soul Society. She arrived around the age of 4, having been saved from a Hollow while a ghost in the human world. It was then she'd decided on becoming a Soul Reaper, not cause she didn't like living in the Rukon District, but because the idea of protecting people intrigued her. She practiced with her spirit energy whenever she was able, having to figure out all the basics on her own after watching a bunch of kids practicing. When she was 10, she went to take the entrance exam, and entered the Academy. She graduated with a group of others that had changed the same time she had, and was issued to squad 9.
Appearance: Ayame is actually pretty slender for her height. Her acrobatics and speed is something she takes pride in, and one would think she was part of squad 2 rather then squad 9. Her hair is rather long, easily reaching to her thighs when not up in it's usual loops and pins. It's naturally dark in color, though as a sort of act of rebellion she dyed two strips of it a bright teal blue. Both streaks run the full length of her hair, one on either side, usually they're braided, tied off at the ends with white ribbons, and hang on each side of her face while the rest of her hair is pulled up, and pinned with a pair of dark red chopsticks. Her eyes are the same color blue as the streaks in her hair. (picture pending)
Anything else: She doesn't agree with what her captain did, but part of her wonders if he had a reason for it still. Loyalty is a hard thing to change.

History/Background: Felicia was a rebel, not really carrying much about the war between the Quincy and the Shinigami, she thought the whole process was pointless. However, Felicia has always been the envious type, never really satisfied with anything. She usually laid low when it came to be that all of the Quincies were dead, her mother and father were killed by Hollows, she however was lucky to get away. Felicia hides in the real world, going to school and being envious of all the students who were better then her, though she did feel pride about something, her skills as a Quincy were rather amazing. Able to fire off multiple shots at once, and while other reiryokuare blue, hers was green. Felicia doesn’t really care for people, since she always found herself being envy of everyone. Once day when killing off a Hollow, a man appeared behind her, he spoke to her about joining rebels like herself, she had to think about it and decided to go for it, why the hell not? So, she’d follow the Leader with no real goal in mind.

Character Name: Kain Kyoshiro
Characters Alias(s), if any: Sin, Virgil
Age: Looks to be late 20’s, but hints at his age by calling other rather old individuals “kiddo.”
Sex: Male
Race: Parfum
Approximate Height: 6’4’’
Approximate Wight: 230 lbs.
History/Background: Originally a lazy-a** student at the Shinoreijutsuin aka Spiritual Arts Academy (Shinigami Academy) back when Genryusei Shigenkuni Yamamoto first founded the school. He passed the entrance exam with flying colors at an extremely young age. Some say 6, some say 8. Kain likes to say he passed when he was born. He tended to shy away from anyone that tried to talk to him, giving them the could shoulder or walking the opposite direction. He learned quickly and the knowledge stuck with him, easily able to perform Hado, Hakuda, Hoho, and Zanjutsu as second natures, rarely using the incantations as he often destroyed something when he added anymore power to them. As much fun as it was and as much as it made him smile, it was frowned upon highly. When told to fix and clean the damage he’d always point out he was told to use the incantation when he felt no need for that extra power boost which always landed him in more trouble. Though he excelled quickly and completed the academy several years in advance, he couldn’t help but get pissed off when he was denied a Captain’s seat. When he saw the first two Captains to graduate take their ranks - Shunsui Kyoraku, the only individual lazier than himself - and Jushiro Ukitake, a man Kain saw to be far too kind, he grew outraged. After a good amount of time, Kain found himself in the 13th Division under Jushiro having been told he needed to learn some honor. Reluctant, Kain was happy to at least get into a squad, something he felt he should have done much sooner though his personality held him back. He developed a small bond with the Captain, indeed learning a thing - or many - about honor. Kain was given the 4th seat soon, and at last he was mildly comfortable. He’d also managed to develop a crush on Yoruichi Shihoin, Captain of the 2nd Division at the time. He also liked to help Kisuke Urahara, Captain of the 12th Division at the time. But he’d found a friend in Sosuke Aizen. Their Zanpakuto seemed to hate one another, which somehow drew the two closer. Kain had even let Aizen in on a secret project, something called the “Hogyoku.” Using his Shikai to mimic Aizen’s Zanpakuto’s abilities, Kain was able to get away with a great deal of spying given no one really knew what Aizen nor Kain were capable of with their Zanpakuto. Kain would often mock the others and their pride in their Shikais, causing Aizen to laugh. More than once Kain lent the Hogyoku to Aizen. He even had Aizen use him as a test subject; Kain quickly hollowfied. As requested Kain was left alone, struggling to control his new form. And he did - Kain could either merely use the mask, or completely hollowfy at will. It was at this point Kain began to use his Shikai all the time, making sure to copy every ability he could. He even allowed his Zanpakuto to watch surveillance tapes. He’d also studied the Hogyoku a bit more, wondering if it worked both ways. He Hollowfied himself completely and again used its power, turning into something new at that time, now known as an Arrancar. The power of both Arrancar and Vizard was like a drug to him; it left him in a state of bliss. It had also helped him master his Bankai, though it had only been used once and never actually seen. Kain decided to leave the Soul Society in further pursuit of knowledge and power, something the Soul Society was keeping him from. And for that reason, he wanted to crush it. He’d given Aizen hints and clues, even mentioning Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen as possible a**-kissers. Kain left the Soul Society for the human world, taking humanoid form. He soon came upon several Hollows which turned out to be a grand bore as he tore through them without even using his Zanpakuto. He had decided his best bet was somewhere that had a great deal of power in abundance - Hueco Mundo. And thus he traveled upward in the light in his Arrancar form only to annihilate the Gillians that helped him. He drew the attention of Vasto Lordes with ease, using them as practice for his Arrancar and Vizard forms. He struggled at first, though he won. Not without damage against so many, but he won. And after a short recovery, he tried again, over and over. Eventually fatigue set in and Kain was forced to use both Resurrecion and Bankai, which transformed him into something completely new. While hard to hold, the form proved far more than formidable than the high-rank Hollows. Though when he reverted back, he had his a** handed to him. Again, a lucky victory. Kain became obsessed with this other form, something he had dubbed “Parfum,” meaning “Perfect” in his favorite language - Romanian. It took some time, but he got it down, able to slip in and out without having to use Arrancar nor Vizard powers. It was a third, perfect form. He’d descend back to the mortal world to do whatever he wanted having learned to cloak every inch of himself. This was the same reason he was able to return to the Soul Society without notice. He switched realms often, going wherever his Zanpakuto could learn the most. Once he was out of Shinigami’s Shikai to copy, he began to contemplate what he really wanted to do. He remembered he wanted to destroy that which held him back…and now that which was weak. Hell came to mind, not so much the realm but the beast behind the door and the violent souls within. Thus he developed a plan to help these souls and analyze this beast. He needed a team, though. Seven individuals that could manage anything he needed with eternal, undeniable, unquestioned loyalty. Given his endeavors dealt with Hell, he saw no better individuals to seek than those that matched the Sins in his new favorite poem, “Dante’s Inferno.” Thus, he began looking for his Seven Sins, taking the title as “Sin Itself” as well as “Virgil,” who had guided Dante through Hell.
Appearance (detailed description needed if picture cannot be provided): Unlike most, Kain’s appearance changed on a regular bases. He always keeps his Zanpakuto at his left hip, though he uses anything from rope to a sash. Two colors are always present, though: Black and indigo. His long, black hair, reaching a bit past his shoulders is always free and his indigo hues never change color. He tends to portray a calm, collective demeanor though, like with Aizen, his mere aura can send one nearly into shock.
Anything else: Kain now disregards his former Captain and no longer holds friendship with Aizen. If either were to confront him, Kain would treat them as any other obstacle. He still possesses a crush on Yoruichi though he’d kill her without a second thought and think nothing of it.

Character Name: Arashi Kouseiyouso
Characters Alias(s), if any: N/A
Age: 22
Sex: Male
Race: Shinigami
Approximate Height: 5’11’’
Approximate Wight: 210 lbs.
History/Background: Arashi was born within the Seireitei, not to any of the four major noble families, but to one that was, simply put, better off than others. Members of the Kouseiyouso family had a tendency to achieve great things, such as achieving Shikai and Brankia early on, or quickly mastering kido. Much to his dismay, Arashi was no different. He was an honest child that preferred doing hard work rather than having others do anything for him, and if he were ever sick and/or injured he would fight through the pain and illness, never letting it hinder him. Though he lacked a defined path in life, he had so much willpower that it allowed him to carry on a strong sense of justice, valor, nobility and ethics all while having no goal in life whatsoever which often earned him stern words from his relatives. In one ear and out the other; he didn’t care in the least what the family wanted him to do or become. He only cared what his heart told him to do, though with a nasty habit of never letting his mind gets its say in things, it lead to idiotic stunts.

He joined the Shinoreijutsuin (Shinigami Academy) as soon as he could walk and talk. As usual per his bloodline he excelled quickly. Whatever was taught never left his head, thus he never had any problem remembering any answers. Sadly this lead to a great deal of boredom and Arashi began to act out negatively just to have some fun. Thankfully he’d never done anything stupid enough, at least that they knew about, to have him thrown out. In his early teens he received his Zanpakuto, Seidai. He quickly discovered the nature of his Zanpakuto to be that of a Kido-type, though it specifically liked the elements. Truly wanting to know and understand his Zanpakuto, Arashi prepared enough supplies for a week long journey and left the Seireitei to be alone in the peace of the woods with his new partner. Much to his surprise it only took three days for Seidai to reveal himself. Seeming to be some sort of old sage Arashi figured he already knew a great deal about his Zanpakuto. They discussed the elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water for three more days, Arashi soon feeling at one with nature. Arashi then made a proposition to Seidai: If Seidai could defeat Arashi at a game of Go, then Arashi would leave the academy. But, if Arashi one, Seidai had to reveal all four of his secrets of Shikai to him then and there so he could show the Central 46 just what he’d done in leaving. Greatly amused, Seidai agreed. Nearly all of the final day was spent playing the game and sadly Arashi lost. Seidai respected all he’d done to get to know him, though, and the length he’d gone to make what most considered a simple weapon to feel comfortable. Thus he wiped his own King from the board and declared Arashi the winner. It was then that Arashi learned of Ruby Kasai, Amber Tsuchi, Emerald Fuzei, and Sapphire Mizu.

When he returned he was not welcomed with smiles and outstretched hands, but instead sour faces. Mostly glares and sneers. In the end, thanks to everything he’d learned in that one week, it just made him laugh. He was escorted immediately to the Central 46 Chambers and told to explain himself. Arashi merely smiled and informed his superiors he had mastered his Shikai after a riveting game of Chess. Some of the 46 were impressed, others disheartened it was Chess and not Go, some completely outraged. Given his minor nobility, Arashi was told to prove his claims or be stripped of his Zanpakuto. Arashi performed techniques with each of the four Shikai forms with great ease much to the shock of his peers. He was then told how lucky he was, and once again received a lecture that went in one ear and out the other. He was quickly placed in the 13th Division under Jushiro Ukitake. Though he would have done well in the 5th Division or even the Kido Corps, it was felt that a lack of direction could lead him down a terrible path.

After a few years Arashi truly proved himself useful in the fight against Hollows on Earth, and he was even good with communications given his blessed memory. He was quickly given a promotion to 4th Seat, though Jushiro seemed reluctant at first, as if scared to have someone fill that position. Arashi informed his Captain that it was a great honor, and while he still had no idea what he wanted to do in life, he knew that the answer would come to him with his Captain’s aide. Seeing a sense of pride and dignity his former 4th Seat lacked, Jushiro was far more at ease and from then on a strong bon, a friendship, was built. When his mentor fell ill Arashi was constantly scavenging both Soul Society and Earth for cures, remedies, and even more comfortable pillows just to make his Captain comfortable. When the intruders from Earth found their way to the Soul Society, Arashi was ready to kill them off without a second though. It was then he received a lecture that remained with him rather than floating through his head. Jushiro explained that they must have a reason for such drastic actions and one should never be so hasty to take a life. Arashi constantly delivered information to his sick Captain, and to his friend Shunsui Kyoraku as well. When his Captain went with Captain Kyoraku to face down their own Captain and Sensei, Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Arashi suddenly felt a burst of pride. He suddenly felt like he knew what he wanted to use his Zanpakuto for: To abolish misunderstanding in the world. He’d been forced to Earth to deal with Gillians at the time, though it was at this time when he’d had this revelation that he achieved Bankai. Like his Captain’s Shikai, his Zanpakuto became two, one of Light and the other of Dark. Sadly, it didn’t last long and he hasn’t used it since.

With his Captain and every other individual deemed important off in the Fake Karakura Town to fight that traitor Sasuke Aizen and his lackeys, he was left to help guard the Soul Society. With the little remaining talent left he had no idea what could happen, and without his Captain and even the others around he found things increasingly dull. He wanted so badly to be on the frontlines, but he understood that some had to remain behind. Hell, with Bounts having recently come out of the woodwork and Arrancar defecting he might just not be too bored for too long.

Appearance (detailed description needed if picture cannot be provided): His hair is naturally black, though he dies it white with only streaks of black in honor of his Captain. He lets it flow to his shoulders, though keeps it in a tight ponytail. His eyes are a calming hazel and his facial features seem flawless. He wears the same old Shinigami uniform as everyone else with his Zanpakuto at his left hip, though unlike most, anyone to his knowledge, he uses a sheath with a steel outside.
Anything else: He tends to come off as lazy and even whiny, though he’d die in the name of what he considers to be Justice, Virtue and Honor in a heartbeat. He’s very protective of everyone, even his enemies as he feels there is no reason to end a life when that life can take a new course. Of course, this is different when thinking of Hollows, though he considers Arrancar different from Hollows. He refuses to kill, plain and simple…not that Seidai is even designed to; Arashi agreed that should he ever take a life he would seal away Seidai.

Shinigami Information:
Squad: 13th
Rank: 4th Seat
Name of Zanpakuto: Seidai (Harmony)
Sealed Form of Zanpakuto (Katana, Wakazashi, Nodachi, etc): Sakabato (Reverse blade sword)
Shikai Ability: Seidai has a total of four Shikai abilities, though each follow the same premises of using an element to attack. Whichever element is called upon will be reflected by the color of Seidai. For example, “Sapphire Mizu” would cause the blade to become symbolic of a blue sapphire, reflecting its current status as a Water-type Shikai.
Shikai Release Phrase: “Show them your brilliance - (followed by one of the following four that can be switched at any time) “Sapphire Mizu! (Water);” “Emerald Fuzei! (Air);” “Amber Tsuchi! (Earth);” “Ruby Kasai! (Fire)”
Shikai Appearance: The appearance is relevant to the element as well as Arashi’s current feelings. For example: If “Show them you brilliance; Ruby Kasai!” were said while Arashi was burning with passion, not only would the blade mimic ruby, but a flame would be seen around it as well equivalent to his current emotion.
Bankai Ability: He was able to determine he gained the powers of Light and Dark, though he concluded the “Light” merely refers to pure spirit particles, like a Quincy arrow, and “Dark” merely refers to Cero.
Bankai Name: He didn’t know then and sure as hell can’t figure it out now.
Bankai Appearance: From what he can remember, he suddenly had two kodachi, one giving off a bright white light while the other seemed to crackle in darkness.
Kido Spells Known: All (that have been revealed…) and can be done without chants without power decrease. When he does chant, his spells can become as catastrophic and Gran Cero.
