Name: Harasawa, Tetsunosuke (Tetsu)
Appearance Age: 24
Actual Age: 480
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Tetsunosuke considers himself indifferent from everyone else. His number one personality flaw is he can't back down from an argument. He thinks he has to have the last word in everything. Tetsunosuke is also very loyal to a fault. When he is to do battle against a foe, he tries to not draw out the fight and end it as soon as possible; for he doesn't like fighting very much when it's not necessary. Tetsunosuke can also be lazy at times. Often, he argues with himself about things, and has a horrible time making a decision and also second guesses himself. He can also be very contradicting; for example: he loves snow, but he hates the cold weather and the mud it leaves behind when it melts. He loves eating, but he doesn't like the weight gain it causes. Tetsunosuke is also very bold, he won't back down from ANYTHING. But he isn't hot headed or thinks he can do something he might not be able to do. He just isn't afraid. Tetsunosuke can come off as commanding and rude; he yearns for respect. If he respects you, he wants it in return, but if he doesn't respect you, he doesn't expect much; the same can be said in vice versa. He is a very clean person, and always likes having clean Shihakushō.
Bio: When Tetsunosuke was alive in the Human World, he was an author of poetry. He lived around the late 19th Century. He was quiet the romancer some say. He grew up a normal life for the most part, but could almost always tell that something was out of place at a funeral of someone whose soul wasn't ready to pass on. He often thought he saw faint human figures by the coffin's of the graves and sometimes heard whispers and screams. Sometimes fighting and other unexplainable noises that were also indescribable.
He became a traveling poet and would resit his poetry to the royals or higher class people who would pay graciously for his performances. (though born in Japan, he was able to leave there when he turned 19 on a small boat) He was good at learning the different languages as he went along his journey. Though, during his time of travels, he managed to some how get in the cross fire of the French's invasion into Russia and was gunned down mistakenly as an enemy.
After his death, he went to Soul Society where he always felt hungry. Though this was nothing new since he felt hungry a lot in the human world. Though it was a different hunger he could never quench. After being in the Rukongai, west 1st for some while. And then, after learning more about Shinigami and what they did, he opted to try and join them. After a few years of going to the Shinōreijutsuin, he finally graduated with average to somewhat below average scores in Kidō but was pretty talented in Kendo.
Only being Lieutenant of the First Division for a small time period, he was promoted by Hakase Yuki, to the position of Captain of Sixth Division. He is still unsure if he is cut out for the job, but, he intends to do his best for his sake.

Name: Sakuzen Kosshi
Element: None

Shikai Command: "Rise Up to Life, Sakuzen Kosshi"
Shikai Abilities:
Rotting Flesh:
Type: Passive/Area Affect/Activated
When Sakuzen Kosshi is released into it's Shikai state, a putrid smell is released. The target(s) in the surrounding vicinity (about the size of a football field) who smell it will become ridden with a headache the entire time they're fighting with the wielder. If the opposition is weak stomached, then they'll more then likely vomit. Of course, the wielder is immune and anyone the wielder chooses to be.
Call of the Dead:
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Activated
The wielder of Sakuzen Kosshi is able to form pure bone mineral out of reishi that is found in any sort of inanimate object. The process of breaking down and converting the minerals needed into something pliable is on a microscopic level and the quickness is daunting. The bones that are formed are more dense and harder than average human or spiritual being bones. The defensive capabilities of these bones are that they can withstand a point blank shot from a Cero strength attack. Another example of it's strength is it can withstand Hadō Spells up to #59. The Offensive capabilities are similar to the defensive, but any sort of bone can be formed to create an attack through the wielder's own choosing.
Dead Man Walking:
Type: Bodily Affect
When Sakuzen Kosshi has cut a target, the flesh of the area around the wound(s) begin to decay and rot off the bone. Though this action isn't instantaneous*.
(* Three post for it to start happening counting the post the wound is received)
Bone Crusher:
Type: Offensive/Activated
When the wielder can condense and reform the reishi in the air into three foot long duel tipped bones; that are sent at a target as a projectile attack. The amount vary on the Reiryoku and other factors. These bones are 10% weaker then Call of the Dead's bones due to not being formed the same.
Obtained?: Yes
Bankai Appearance: [looks the same as the Shikai but becomes double bladed] When Bankai is released, Sakuzen Kosshi's scythe gains another blade on the opposite end but is smaller; the blade is also facing the opposite way. The main blade grows about six inches. The pole grows another eight inches. The wielder dawns a hooded cloak that has some special properties. An accompany of chains are housed inside the cloak and around the body of the wielder. Though they don't make much of a rattling noise.
Extended Name: Akogare Sakuzen Kosshi
Bankai Abilities: (Minor abilities/nameless): The pain the user of Akogare Sakuzen Kosshi receives during Bankai is reduced by half. Which is due to the zombification of the body. The strength the wielder receives due to the zombification is 2x the amount the wielder normally has. Due to the Zombification, the muscles are no longer restricted and can be used to their maximum potential, though the muscle fiber is not destroyed in any manner. When Bankai is establish, the wielder no long needs to breath, though oxygen is somehow maintain pumping through the brain.
Levitation:
Type: Passive
When released and the cloak forms, the wielder gains the power levitate and fly without having to us the Air Walk technique. If the wielder wants to Flash Step, they'll have to perform the Air Walk technique first. The cloak's quickness is the same as the users dashing capabilities.
Bondage:
Type: Offensive/Defensive
The chain the user has in their cloak can be used as a whip or can be warped around the target. The chain weights approximately 25lbs PER LINK. But to the wielder of Sakuzen Kosshi, the weight is nothing. Each chain link has a spiked part to it. The chain is strong enough to withstand a Gran Rey Cero blast form an Arrancar. When the users uses this chain, it does not pierce their skin. The user can create more out of Reishi when needed.
Zombification:
Type: Passive/Bodily Affect
When Sakuzen Kosshi is released into Bankai, the wielder's body instantly starts dying. Their internal organs stop working and all wounds received before entering Bankai cease to bleed*. Also with this ability, if the wielder of Sakuzen Kosshi is dismembered in any way (beside decapitation) the wielder only needs to reattach the ligament for it to start working properly.
*but once the wielder comes out of Bankai, their wounds start bleeding
- Grave Keeper:
Type: Reishi Alternation/Mental Command
The wielder of Akogare Sakuzen Kosshi can form any sort of inanimate material into an undead (zombified) minion. The minion will act to the wielder's commands, either verbal or mental. When the undead creature is struck open, pestilence and larva spews from it. Any body object can also be made from the reishi.
Plague:
Type: Offensive/Bodily Affect
Locust, flies, cicadas, lice, bees, wasp... any sort of deadly or pestilent insects are crawling through the wielder's cloak. At any time, the wielder can command these pest to their bidding. Stinging, biting, ect. The biting and stinging of these insects are not like normal pest, the insects have a special poison that causes Reishi to flow abnormally through the victim's body. Weakening Reiryoku based attacks, Flash Steps, strength, and agility by sixty percent for a 3rd seat or lower; forty percent for a Lieutenant; thirty-five percent for a Captain. In Arrancar, Cero type attacks, Bala, Sonído, the affect of Pesquisa, strength, and agility are also weakened along with any other sort of Reiryoku attacks. 3rd Espada, twenty percent, 2nd Espada, fifteen percent, and 1st Espada 10 percent. The bugs way of attack are strong enough to pierce a Hierro, since each bug has a concentrate reiryoku disrupting attack appendage.
(*The effects only last two post when the target receives the puncture)
Body Parts:
Type: Reishi Alternation/Mental Command
If the wielder's arm, legs, or even half of the body is decimated, they can use the Grave Keeper technique and fuse with that. As long as the brain and brain stem remain intact, they can still reattach themselves to a body. And when they exit Bankai, it'll appear like their normal body part and function the same. This technique requires a fair amount of Reiryoku.
Suicide:
Type: Reishi Alternation/Mental Command
With either using a body part of themselves or the bugs, or minions, the user is able to have the Reishi act abnormally in the object and explode.
Stroke of Death:
Type: Bodily Affect
When the blade part of the Scythe cuts into the flesh of the enemy, that area begins to decay and rot off the bone*. Fly larva will eventually start to produce and come from within the wound**. After the fly larva, the effect will spread through out the body unless it is cut from them***. But in order for that to happen, the must get all of the infected area.
(*starts to happen 2 post after the wound is received
**starts to happen 4 post after the wound is received
***happens after the 4th post)
Call of the Dead:
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Activated
The wielder of Sakuzen Kosshi is able to form pure bone mineral out of reishi that is found in any sort of inanimate object. The process of breaking down and converting the minerals needed into something pliable, is on a microscopic level and the quickness is daunting. The bones that are formed are more dense and harder than average human or spiritual being bones. The defensive capabilities of these bones are that they can withstand a point blank shot from a weak Gran Rey Cero strength attack (or hold up long enough for the user to escape from one at full strength). Another example of it's strength is it can withstand Hadō Spells up to #80. The Offensive capabilities are similar to the defensive, but any sort of bone can be formed to create an attack through the wielder's own choosing. Though the material looks like bone in the bankai state, the actual material is unknown to the wielder. From Shikai to Bankai, the two materials that are made from the alchemical like procedure of the attack are different.
Bone Crusher:
Type: Offensive/Activated
When the wielder can condense and reform the reishi in the air into; eight feet long duel tipped bones, that are sent at a target as a projectile attack. The amount vary on the Reiryoku and other factors. These bones are usually 3.5% weaker then Call of the Dead's bones (See bankai version).
Obtained?: Yes
