Zenny
Physical Description:
Zenny is a rather cute boy, standing at 5'0" (Same Height As Hanataro) with little to no muscle mass. The teenage-looking child is pretty normal in appearance, with no distinguishing features. He has a dark brown shade of hair that's cut short, and reaches down to the back of his neck; from the front, just above his eyes, there is a row of loose bangs that slightly shroud vision of his large orange hued eyes. He, as previously mentioned, lacks muscle mass and a fully developed build. The boy seems to be just breaking into puberty, as he still retains some of those cute boyish traits (I.E: Smooth skin, round face, light voice, etc). He's generally a child, and is noticed because of this trait alone. When compared in stature to most normal-sized Shinigami, he comes up short and young-looking. Zenny tends to wear the normal Shinigami uniform, with a few of his own accessories. Across his shoulder and wrapping around his torso, is a dark green tassel, made of two small intertwined ropes. They meet at the center of his back, where they knot to hold his Zanpakuto. The Zanpakuto's sheath generally has a few small indents, made for these tassels specifically, so it is implied that the tassel itself is also a piece of his Zanpakuto. (Let it be noted that, when the shikai is gained, upon release the tassel fades away) Another accessory is a small, Lotus-Shaped, hair-clip that is fastened to the right side of his Hakama belt. This little accessory is actually made for a girl, but was given to him in the Rukongai by a senile old woman who thought it'd be cute. Not wanting to upset her, he reluctantly took it and promised to wear it everyday; he never promised to wear it in his hair, though. The clip is small and round, like a little badge, and is colored an emerald green. It shimmers when struck by light, and tends to reflect it back also; Zenny, after wearing it for a few years, came to the realization the thing was made with real emeralds and actually was worth something.
Zanpaktōu Information:
Name/Sealed Info: Sunao Ro-tasu [Docile Lotus]
Weapon Type: Kodachi - Wakizashi
Zanpaktōu Type: Poison/Sedative - Pheromone Stimulation.
Zanpaktōu Spirit(s): Sunao takes form as a grown woman, appearing to be in her early to mid twenties. She's rather attractive, but quiet and quite lazy! She's usually sleeping, and her eyes are never fully open. She prefers not to speak very much, but offers her own brand of 'Helpful Advice' to her owner at certain times. Though she is lazy and somewhat rude, she is a very powerful and intelligent woman. She always seems to know whats best and, despite not wanting to interfere in most matters, she will actually provoke or command her owner to release at certain times so that she may get involved and calm things down. She absolutely hates yelling, loud noises, and being shaken. She does, however, find it entertaining whenever she has a chance to involve trickery and perform subtle acts unbeknowst to people. She rather do things silently, and without having to apply much effort, but has the potential to lay out some serious damage if egged on far enough.
Zanpakutō Wōrld: Sunao Ro-tasu's spiritual world is a large pond, that stretches out as far as the eyes can see. It resembles an ocean, more then a pond, but is referred to as so by Sunao herself. She usually can be seen casually sitting silently on an oversized lily-pad with her head hung down. She looks to be in deep thought, but is actually just in the middle of dozing off~
. . .
Sealed Weapon: Sunao Ro-tasu's sealed form is a rather beautiful manifestation, taking form as a very well crafted Kodachi. It's hilt is a shimmering bright green, floral designs randomly spotting the body of the handle. The flowers are all green, and compliment the hilt's overall color. Each of the imprinted flowers is a lotus, the color either being light or dark (green). The guard of the weapon is also shaped like a lotus, made of a bright green well-cut emerald. This piece is rather distinguishing and is most likely the reason why the manifestation is thought to be so beautiful! Its blade is just as any other, it's only unique characteristic being the laced symbol of a lotus-flower on the blade's left and right side nearest the hilt. The sheath is a very sturdy one, being a somewhat shiny black most resembling marble. The weapon is only slightly shorter then the average Kodachi.
Release Phrase(s):
"Serene Essences. Beckon Upon The Embrace Of My Calming Call. Let The Sweet Rays Induce Them.. Sunao Ro-tasu."
Shikai: In it's shikai form, Sunao Ro-tasu's gains a few physical changes to it's appearance. Upon completion of the release phrase, the weapon's emerald guard begins to spin at high speeds, slick and oily reiastu beginning to coat it's length. Slowly, the weapon becomes translucent and the blade's length changes to that of a Wakizashi. The guard is replaced with a real lotus, the plant continuing to spin until all of the petals flow off. The greenish oily petals make a formation about the now guard-less blade, floating around as if held by some telekinetic force. They never cease movement, as all of the glowing petals revolve around the hilt in a disc-like formation, still maintaining the shape of a Lotus. The weapon's secondary ability, upon activation of the shikai, is put into effect. It's secondary ability is to dim down the reiastu nature of the user, making it so that whenever the blade is touching an item it's presence is hidden near-completely. All of it's energy is given a more docile nature, making it so that it cannot be detected by sensing.. This makes it very hard for the user to be tracked! (This applies to sensing him. If you can see him, then it does no good..)
Other then this, the weapon acts as any melee weapon would in combat. It's style is meant to be stealthy, the user showing a tendency to not stay visible for very long periods of time; Henano will most likely attack, and if unsuccessful will retreat and attempt again from a different angle or direction. Once damage is dealt with this weapon, the main effect is activated. One of the (20) petals revolving around the weapon will dissipate into small green-glowing particles, automatically homing itself into the wound (This implies that the target or item must be cut.) thus sealing it will the oily substance. The Zanpakuto's true trait as a Pheromone Stimulator will be unleashed now! The target will start to become more 'Docile' in nature; They'll begin to fall asleep and grow fatigued, losing stamina and there ability to fight. The area struck will have a small green imprint in the shape of a petal to signify where contact was made.
Setbacks- The weapon cannot kill a target with the Zanpakuto itself until all the petals are gone, no matter where they slit them. The user can slit the target's neck, but the effect of the Zanpakuto will instantly seal the wound. This leads into the second set-back.. The weapon doesn't cause any damage either! It merely slits an area and makes it 'Docile' temporarily, signified by the formed petal. The weapon, also, has no designated attacks at all. Its secondary and main effect are both only capable of being activated when the given requirements are met. Other then that, they have no other abilities then they would have when held by a normal Shinigami. The Zanpakuto gives Zenny no other enhanced traits, so if his abilities are deciphered or blocked successfully the release becomes somewhat useless.
Perks- There are a total 20 petals, and after each is dissipated and twenty hits are made the target automatically succumbs to the 'Docile' effect. This means they fall asleep until the effects wear off, but this usually isn't for more then half an hour due to each petal dissipated holding 5% of his total available energy supply. However, this isn't the usual case as it only takes 10-15 petals disappearing to cause the target to fumble indefinitely or outright pass out. This allows Zenny to finish the target off, or do with them as he pleases. Another usage of the Zanpakuto is to act as a slight sedative to wounds. By making a slit over small-medium sized wounds, two petals will dissipate and cover the entire area with the oily substance. The effected target will most likely succumb to the docile effect soon enough, removing the pain until further medical attention can be attained. When the Zanpakuto does manage to make contact, the target shouldn't really know.. Due to the area being sealed so quickly, they won't feel a thing. They can't tell they've been hit until the effects begin, and build up over time.
Special Accessories:
---
Lotus Hairclip- This is the hair clip that was given to him by a senile old lady, years ago, while on a trip to visit the lower-class Rukongai districts. The confused old lady mistook the cute little boy for a cute little girl and gave him the hairclip, telling him that it would look beautiful on him. He, not wanting to disappoint or upset her, reluctantly took the thing. He vowed to wear it everyday, and has ever since. Years have passed since that day, and he has grown accustom to having it at it his side, never seen without it attached to his hip. It is in the shape of a lotus, and is actually made of real emeralds.
Skills:
---
Zanjutsu Practitioner ~ Specialist - When it comes to melee-based combat, Zenny relies on his slightly developed Zanjutsu skill. The small boy lacks skill in Hakudo, so he makes up for it by relying mostly on his swordsmanship. He isn't exactly a pro, but can hold his own against normal Shinigami. He has a somewhat unique style of fighting, as he is left handed, and relies on one-armed tactics. He only use two hands when blocking, or parrying a blow. Surprisingly, he is capable of generating just enough speed (Thanks to his small blade's shape) to match the force of a blow, if he were using both hands on the hilt. Zenny's trust in his skill is enough to keep it as his first response basis for battle situations, however, when things get too serious he is known to incorporate skills involving his Kido skill. This, in unison with his Zanjutsu, makes a very capable Shinigami.
Kidō Practitioner ~ Usage Specialist - Zenny is not a stranger to kido, as this was his point of expertise in his academy days. The boy, in this subject, need not seek help from his peers.. instead, he offered it! His naturally calm and observant nature allowed him to be more focused, and in-tune with his spiritual energy's flow. He can perform kido slightly better then the average Shinigami, and has no trouble when it comes to focusing and channeling his spiritual energy. Kido, you could say, is his strongest point right next to swordsmanship. In fact, at times, the two are used in unison. He has proven himself to be capable of casting several kido in rapid succession (Albeit, with signs of strain). He has also grown accustom to performing kido without incantation, and in unison. This feat, however, puts major strain on his body and exerts too much energy to be used more then a few time sin a single bout.
Developing Tactician- Zenny has been shown to think a lot during combat, and never blindly rushes into things. His developing nature in combat is based around being tactical and versatile with all at his disposal. This growing skill shows itself commonly in combat situations. This functions as a feint sign he is beginning to grow as a smart combatant.
Hohō- As of yet, Zenny's Hohō skills are limited to the usage of the 'Air Stepping' technique. He has yet to learn any form of actually increasing his speed, but this does not limit his usage of other agility-oriented techniques. Zenny actually favors using the atmosphere as a second layer for battle, taking combat to the sky if it fits the situation correctly. His air walk is actually quite developed for a Shinigami. This is contributed to by his athleticism too! (See Below)
Abilities/Traits:
---
Calming Reiastu Nature- Zenny's reiastu nature is very distinct, and easily picked out no matter how big a crowd he is thrown into. His energy's nature is naturally subtle and calming, to the point it is not possible to confuse it with any other. The color of his Reiastu Nature is light and dark green, the texture of the color depending on the emotions Zenny holds at that time. His reiastu nature, unlike most distinguished ones, is not a violent or lethal one. Instead, it is depicted as a natural and serene one with a lighter tone. His spiritual pressure doesn't often give off rays of a deadly foe, but of a reliable comrade. This odd presence is given off by no other but Zenny.
---
Developed Athleticism- As to be expected by someone of Zenny's stature and body type, he has a very developed athleticism trait. The boy's natural speed is far above that of most normal Shinigami. His agility helps to create a unique approach to doing combat, rivaling the style of those that fight in the traditional fashion. Through Zenny's combat style, (-Equal kido + Zanjutsu mix-) it is quite known that he employs the usage of many evasion tactics that require much movement. This trait is proved the most, however, when Zenny is performing his normal day to day task. He, without showing any strain, can perform rather large jumps and clear large gaps even normal Shinigami would have trouble reaching. This has been shown to happen both inside and outside of his spiritual form, a sign that he is naturally gifted with this trait, and that it does not require any extra effort to be put forth.
Average Spiritual Power Level- Zenny's isn't exactly the most powerful Shinigami when it comes to Reiastu (Spiritual Power) levels, but makes up for this slight lacking by being adept at his initial and advanced control. The amount he has isn't overflowing, and it's nature is on the calm side (See Above), making it easily manipulated, physically conjured, and controlled. This makes casting and performing kido that much easier to handle.
Personality:
Zenny is a quiet and observant little fellow, who tends to stay out of the way. He's easily startled and shocked, but his cute appearance only makes these actions seem incredibly adorable. He tends to give off heavy vibes of purity, and has a very subtle and calming presence. He has a tendency to calm down angered people, simply by speaking or being himself. Though he is easily frightened he sometimes will attempt to overcome whatever fear it is that envelopes him at the moment, but this happens rarely unless provoked by necessary causes. He has a very likable personality, and is easy to get along with. It's very hard to ignore someone so small and cute!
Biography/History:
Zenny was born in the Rukongai, and raised in one of the lower middle-class districts. As he grew up with his real parents, he began to admire the Shinigami that occasionally passed by and helped out the grown-ups. He idolized them all for different reasons, but was too shy to ever confront them. He did, however, gain the guts to try and become one instead! He was easily accepted into the Academy, despite his young spiritual age and appearance. He had a very likable, and cute, personality from the start so he was always helped out by his female superiors and fellow students. He was so popular, in fact, that he was able to cling onto the most admired group of recruits, all known for there skills in certain areas. Because of his visible ambition, he was able to convince each of them to help him out. Thanks to his friends, whom he was separated from upon graduation, he was able to pass all his test with flying colors! He has no general goals at the moment, but wishes to be an admired Shinigami known because of his deeds and helpful nature.
