Physical Description: Jack's appearance is taken after shady archetype, standing at 6'0'' tall, and weighing at 134.5lbs. Although he is young, he is unusually thin and quite tall, his sharp features making him almost skeletal in appearance. He usually will keep his eyes narrowed to slits, barely making his bright, golden eyes visible, He will sometimes make them visible in times of annoyance, sadness, or a wide range of situations, although it is quite rare. is mouth will often take the form of a smile, but it won't be genuine. He will more smile mockingly at people, and will tend to keep it like this, unless he is angry, sad, etc. His hair is short and green, with his bangs hanging down covering his forehead, nearly covering the top half of his face if he so willed it. Jack tends to stand out very little, tending to keep a very plain appearance. The only feature of his that sets him apart from a crowd is his green hair, and that doesn't even show very well as he always wears a hat. However, he isn't as closed off about himself when in the presence of friends. When with them, he's more relaxed and will widen his eyes to reveal their golden color, and will wear his hat tilted higher on his head, making his face more visible too. He even will smile more openly, and not in a sarcastic mocking way, but more in the way that he's glad to have them in his presence. But, when greeted with strangers, he's much more hostile. He will refrain from making physical contact with them, and will often glare at them through his narrowed eyes, which would be a difficult thing to notice, as he tries to hide his face as mentioned previously.
Personality: Jack prefers to keep himself mysterious, hiding behind sarcasm and the occasional mocking politeness. He will often call upon small thing about a person and comment on them, which can sometimes hurt the persons feelings, depending on the person or the quality he started mocking. Although his appearance and demeanour are something that would lead people to distrust him, on the inside Jack is a nice, caring man. He is quick to worry about those in need, and will commonplace seek out to make new friends, although he will be quite shy about it and sometimes turn people away by making some sarcastic comment. When faced with violence or vulgarity, he will always turn away. He isn't a fan of such things, unless necessary, and you will always see him speaking respectful language, unless he is, again, being sarcastic. There are times when he isn't all sarcastic, however. When in the company of a close friend, he will ease up and be a nicer person, and will refrain from making comments on people in a negative way, and will act more positive. When meeting new people, he will be reluctant to have a conversation more than just him making comments on them and such, and his general attitude will be closed off and hostile. But, there are times when he is more open. When with friends, he will feel more comfortable in speaking and making compliments, although it isn't a common occurrence he says good of someone. His friendliness when with a friend will only go to a certain extent, even though it's better than his usual attitude.
Zanpakutou: Kurohebi ((Black Snake))
Zanpakutou Spirit: Kurohebi is nothing more than a snake. A black viper that is about the length of Jack's arm. It is much like Jack, however, as it only appears bad. It's personality is something much more open and happy, although it doesn't hide behind any sarcasm. It is how Jack wishes he was.
Inner World: Jack's inner world is an empty Irish pub, with a warm atmosphere, regardless of it's lack of patrons. If you were to leave thee building, you would find yourself in a wide open, green field, that stretches on endlessly. The reason this is his inner world is because he enjoys the comfort and warmth of the aura the place resonates.The inside is fairly nice, warm and comfortable, but the outside isn't. The building itself is a creepy, dark, run down shack the would turn away any who sees it. The grass, well, it's just green grass. His inner world is, in many ways, a metaphor for himself.
Sealed Form: Kurohebi's sealed appearance is the standard Katana, with no outstanding features. It's hilt is circular, and silver, while the handle is black with a pattern of green diamonds going down the center of it. The Zanpakuto stands so little, as it reflects Jack, and how little he stands out himself.
(Not obtained yet) Shikai Name/Release Phrase: Slither, Kurohebi!
Shikai Description: When in Shikai, the blade of Kurohebi will come to life, taking the form of a metal snake. The blade itself will be covered in twists and convulses, but atop the tip of the blade is a head of a snake, mouth gaping widely as it bears it fangs at it's foe. The hilt and handle are more or less the same, except the hilt has 4 fang-like spikes pointing directly upward.
Shikai Powers: Karasuhebi's Shikai powers are mainly physical, while still not technically melee. When Jack slashes the blade in a direction, the snake will extend and seek out the target, while making a slithering pattern through the air. It won't just simply target a person and home in on them, however. It will still rely on Jack guiding it, a slash in each direction being a command to go that way. Slash left means go left, Slash right means go right, and so on. when it comes close to it's enemy, it will jump forward and clamp down onto the target with it's fangs, unless Jack commands not to do so. Jack's moving won't have anything to do with what direction Karasuhebi is going, just his slashes. So he can move about freely, while still commanding the blade to go in different directions. This gives the opportunity for a series of traps and the like, For example, the two of them circling around a foe, and then the snake will tighten it's body to clamp down on the foe and cut through them.
(Not obtained yet) Bankai Name: KyouseiKurohebi
Bankai Description: The Bankai of Kurohebi is alot like the Shikai, with one difference; There are more than one blade. Instead of it being just the one snake, it is now dozens of snakes, which all come together to create one massive snake, which can burst apart and become nothing more than a swarm of flying snake blades. The transition from Shikai to Bankai isn't quite flashy itself, however. The multitude of snakes will just shoot out from the base of the original, to simply become the forementioned massive snake/snake hoard. This transition is so unflashy, because it is aimed to be speedy, and hopefully catch the opponent off guard. The hilt and handle are, again, the same as it's Shikai and Sealed form, mainly because it is, again, aimed at speed.
Bankai Powers: It's powers are essentially exactly the same as the Shikai, just much more complicated. As he cannot control each individual snake with slashes, he has a mental connection with the blade, and is able to tell it what he wants to do without having to speak aloud. He can also choose the amount of snakes that are out, and can make more of them emerge. However, the more snakes he has out, the more it is difficult to control them all with his mind, and will end up putting a massive strain on his brain. As he uses it, however, will he be capable of using more. In addition, the fangs of the snakes are now accompanied by a deadly venom, which could kill in about 24-48 hours, depending on the victim. The venom takes such a long time to take affect, as it is mainly aimed to slow the target by causing them great pain. It is not lethal, and can be treated immediately. It is very treatable, and many antidotes to different snake venoms and poisons will heal it. This is because it is, again, aimed at making the opponent easier to beat in battle. At first, the venom will do nothing more than sting the target, possibly taking the targets mind off the fight slightly as it deals with the pain. As time goes on, the target will slowly become numb around the area they were bitten, which will slowly make the rest of their body numb. Say, they get bitten on their hand, it will initially sting a bit, then about 7 minutes later it will go numb, another 8 minutes later their wrist will go numb, and so on. Being bitten multiple times will not accelerate the time it takes for it to fully take affect, it will sting the area first bitten and numb it temporarily. The main danger of the bites is just the first one, the rest will just be to make the opponent easier to battle for a moment or two. Because of the amount of time it takes to spread through the body, every target has a certain kill point. No amount of exercise will speed up the process, it always has a set time for it to kill. This kill point varies from person to person, however, as it will take longer for tall, muscular men than it does short, thin men. As there are is a large number of snakes, each with a large venom deposit, it is possible to harvest and be distributed among allies, be it for use as a weapon, or for study, or even for adding flavour to a dish. KyouseiKurohebi's venom is quite a mystery, and may need further study by the 12th division. All Jack knows about the venom is as much as KyouseiKurohebi will tell Jack about.
Special Accessories: Jack is quite unflashy. He dons the standard issue Shikahusho, with little to no accessory. However, he does wear a black fedora on his head, the brim of which casts a shadow that covers the top half of his face, like his hair could do.
Skills/Abilities: Jack's abilities are very limited, at best. He's able to sing pretty well, but he's anything but spectacular. He is, however, quite skilled at consuming liquid, so if you're ever at a bar and need somebody to drink a ton of alcohol in a short period of time, Jack's your guy. (Let it be known, he is not a drunkard. He is just good at drinking things.) He's a pretty capable writer, so, there's something. Jack's main use is that he's good company.
Kidou:
Bakudou:
- 1. Restrain (Sai)
4. Crawling Rope (Hainawa)
Biography/History: In his living life, Jack lived in Ireland until he was 18. When he did turn 18, he had moved to America. Why? Because he always admired America, and wished he was born there than in Ireland. However, when he did move to America, he was singled out for being so heavily Irish. This wasn't exactly a bad thing, it really just became his hook. His friends always made Irish jokes and comments to him, and nicknamed him Irish, and so on. It was quite ironic though, because he had a distinct love of Snakes. They were his favorite animal on the earth. He even had a collection of them as pets. But, even with the great friends who loved his nationality, and awesome pets that he loved so much, his life was...Less than eventful. In a word, he was lazy. He did nothing all day except sleep, watch tv, and other lazy-boy antics. He was content with this though, because life was going by for him so easily. Up until one of his anaconda's ate him. Yes, the way Jack died was being eaten by his pet. Tragic, isn't it? But, during his time spent in the Rukongai, he followed his friends to see what memories of him they'd speak of, and try find happiness in death. he didn't. In the end, they all talked about what a lazy a** he was, and how much of a pain he was. Not really fond words of him. This just sent him into a depression. Eaten by his pet, and remembered as a good-for-nothing. He was in this depression right until he got sent to the soul society. Then, he snapped out of it. When he found himself in another life, he decided to make something of himself. Become admirable. Be someone new, who would put his old life into shame. So, the logical thing he did was join the Shinigami academy. It was there he learned he quite skilled when it came to swords. But, he wasn't the greatest with kidou. He could perform it, but he wasn't top of his class. He was, however, able to beat all those that went against him in a sword fight, using his slim frame to his advantage, finding that he was really quite agile. He lacked strength, but he was able to beat anybody in a test of speed or endurance. So, in summary of his academy learned skills; He's Fast, Good with Swords, Has good Endurance, Lacks Strength, Isn't good with Kidou. So, there's his backstory.
Powers: Very limited Kidou, Excels at Swordplay. Not sure if there is any else to add here...
