─Personal Information─
Personality: He is a prideful man who is very good at hiding it. He is very humble, and acts with refrain and lighthearted mercy. He acts carefree and without concern, but he is a diligent man, and does his paperwork when his subordinates are not watching, usually late at night. He is a man of honor, and values his word above all of his other qualities. He also respects and strives to protect everyone around him, even his direct superior and mentor, Gato Shingaara.

Other Personal Dislikes:
Personal Possession(s): Leere's Family Ring, which he took after Leere Died.
Personal Secret(s): Not really a secret, but he took part in the Quincy Extermination campaign... some even say he let a few young ones go free, at great expense to himself. But Rumors are just that: Rumors.
History: Rei was the second born son of the Seshiro family. He was instantly adored by his parents, just as much as his older brother, and all was well in the Seshiro household. Rei showed great talent in the shinigami arts, especialy zanjutsu and Kido. He was able to produce Hado 33 before he entered the academy.
When in the academy, he met a girl named Jasmine, and the two struck up an instant friendship. They were friends all throughout their years in the academy, and soon after graduation, began dating. Their relationship was beautiful and without any resentments, disagreements or arguements. The two gradually fell in love, and their relationship blossomed...
He always kept a watchful eye on his younger sister Hinata, and older brother Leere. He watched Hinata to make sure she was safe and protected. He watched Leere to make sure the man did not surpass him too far. One day, however, tragedy befell them when Leere and Hinata's unit was attacked by a powerful group of Hollows. Hinata made it out alive in order to call reinforcements, but Leere gave his life in order to make sure Hinata got away and survived. The two attended his funeral in fashion and then took two mementos between the two of them: Rei got Leere's Ring and Hinata got his zanpakuto, which was now nothing more than a sword.
Much to both of their surprise, it was indeed Jasmine who got Bankai first. Rei was there, training with Jasmine when she achieved her Bankai. His a** got a nice sear on it too. Poor Rei's a**.
Over the last 200 years, Rei has become lieutenant of squad one, apprenticing personally with Gato Shingaara, a fellow wind user, and the perfect mentor for Rei. He still watches over Jasmine and Hinata like an eagle, even though Hinata is a third seat, and that Jasmine is a captain, surpassing his position by far. And yet Rei still continues on, driven by his goal to protect everyone he loves.
Rei and Jasmine are since married, and have two children, Cedric and Kimi. They are growing fast and show potential to become as strong as their parents, one day.
─Zanpakuto Information {Sealed}─
Zanpakuto Name: Shingotsu
Zanpakuto Appearance: Shingotsu (Sword Form)
Zanpakuto Spirit: Shingotsu
Inner World:
Basic Zanpakuto Attacks/Powers:
1: Shingotsu has a permanently manifested body. All that she requires is a bit of Rei's reiryoku after a fight. She can fight using whatever Kido Rei knows, but cannot fight while Rei is in Shikai, as it forces her back into her sword form.
2: Shingotsu can manipulate the wind and fade in and out whenever she wants to. This makes her VERY annoying at times.
3: Basic Wind manipulation. He can move small projectiles out of the way, create gusts, and even create gusts large enough to force people back a few feet.
4. Restorative Winds: Shingotsu, using her own energy and the winds she creates, can heal Rei's minor to moderate injuries (scrapes, cuts, minor burns, up to something as large as a long flesh wound), with some ease. Anything up to a cut down to the bone can be healed by Shingotsu; but the worse the injury is, the more difficult it is for her to heal. Veins, tendons, and muscles are the first things reconnected. This move does not work in the same fashion as healing kido, and does not restore Rei's reiryoku. He must be conscious for it to work, and he cannot be in Shikai or Bankai.
─Zanpakuto Information {Shikai}─
Shikai Incantation: "Rise, Shingotsu!"
Shikai Appearance: Shingotsu (Shikai)
Shikai Abilities:
1. Enhanced Wind Control, allowing Rei to "read" the wind to the point of sensing minute movements in the area around him and follow enemies he cannot see. This skill makes fast moving enemies much easier to track, and helps him thwart doppelganger style abilities. The only surefire way to circumvent the ability is to disrupt the wind flow in the area. Other wind users are good at doing that. In Bankai, he can read wind even more precisely and easily.
Shikai Techniques:
1: First wind: Sussu Wakki
Creates a large gust of wind capable of knocking foes backwards. It, in and of itself cannot cause harm, but causes harm if enemies are knocked into things. Slows down Shunpo or equivalent techniques when pointed at someone using them. The effect reduces the speed of those techniques by about 10-25%, depending on the foe. Equivalent to a 10th level offensive kido in terms of overall strength.
2: Second wind: Binding Gale
Creates high-speed wind currents to entangle an opponent's movements. It's like a Bakudo, only stronger because Rei can reinforce it for as long as there is wind around him, or the person being bound. This includes winds he creates, and can be reinforced in proportion to the amount of wind in the area. Equivalent to a 30th level binding kido in overall strength, and can reach up to a level 60 binding kido. In Bankai, it can be held as strong as a 70's level Bakudo.
3: Third wind: Ripping Gust
Sharpens and concentrates the winds along the blade, making it hit harder and swing faster. The blade shape can be modified and extended, allowing him to extend the overall effective reach of the sword. This technique is constantly active, which is what allows him to cut with a sakabato; but when it is evoked, it becomes more powerful, allowing him to cut through average strength hierro. In Bankai, he can cut through an average Espada's Hierro with a bit of focus.
4: Fourth wind: Blinding Breeze
Concentrates dust and particles in the air to reduce enemy's range and acuity of vision. This can at worst create an effect to cloud someone's sight, and not completely remove it. This technique is not reiryoku based, and therefore is much harder to detect and avoid. More effective when used on a small area, and when there are more particles to move with the wind.
5: Fifth wind: Repulsing Gale
Creates a strong gust of wind from the hilt to reduce the speed and strength of incoming blows. Automatically happens at a level that makes incoming blows about 20 percent slower and weaker; but it is stronger if done intentionally. It is Rei's only distinctly defensive technique. When he does this technique with a determination to protect himself, he can stop sword blows of equally powerful foes before they ever reach him or his sword.
6: Sixth wind: Piercing Blow
Spins the wind on the blade at extremely high speeds, and releases it with a thrust, creating a drill effect. This can be large or small, and the more time Rei spends building into this technique, the stronger it becomes. The minimum amount of time it takes to use is half of a second. At that point, it has the approximate strength of a Byakurai (max of five in a post): the maximum charge time is one minute (1 post), at which point it could pierce a Danku or an Espada's Hierro quite well. It can be manipulated to target a small or large area, and the more narrow the current is, the more powerful the piercing power.
─Zanpakuto Information {Bankai}─
Bankai Name Kurohime Shingotsu
Bankai Release Incantation: Heed now the air, Heed now the blade, for I call upon the queen of the ninth wind: Rage, Kurohime Shingotsu!
Bankai Appearance: A traditional Chinese Naginata. Rei’s hair becomes whiter as his reiatsu is consumed.
Bankai Attacks/Powers:
Unified Front: Shingotsu battles alongside Rei, using his Sakabato from his Shikai and Sealed states. Her body is permanently manifested in Bankai, and she can phase in and out of the wind around her to avoid any harm. If she is taken by surprise and attacked, she still phases into the wind to avoid harm, so it is simply not possible to harm her in this form. Doing so cancels any attack she was trying to deliver though, so her effectiveness largely relies on her and Rei's co-operation.
1: Seventh wind: Suffocating stillness
Separates the oxygen from the air around enemies and pulls it away, slowly depriving them of air. It can only affect a small area, so it can be evaded by moving. He rarely uses this move, and almost never if his foe is not held in place by someone else. This technique is difficult to maintain, so he most focus on using it and no other techniques at the same time. The effect takes a while to reach the effect of rendering someone unconscious, equal to as long as someone can hold their breath. Continued use after that point could kill someone, if no one intervenes.
2: Eighth wind: Raging Torrent
Mixes Hydrogen with oxygen in the atmosphere to create water. Rei cannot control water, but it is pulled in with his wind based techniques and used to create increased physical force. Such a precise chemical equation takes some manner of focus to achieve, and so it takes him about three seconds to produce about a pint of water if he's using other techniques at the same time. If he focuses on just creating water, he can produce a gallon in about five seconds. The attack can be used with his other moves, but their speed is reduced about five percent when used with it.
3: Ninth wind: Sonic Gale
Wind along the blade rotates at speeds above that of sound, creating a small sonic boom when the attack is released. The wind is released from the blade in the form of a wide crescent moon. The attack cannot be blocked by blades, shields, or other small physical techniques or defenses, as it simply reforms on the other side of them. Something the size of a Danku could part it long enough for the person behind it to remain unharmed. This technique is strong enough to slice right through most single Danku though, and a Hierro would likely be sliced clean through in a single swing. The speed of this attack maxes out around Mach 2, so it is not to be trifled with or underestimated. It travels in a straight line, so evasion, while difficult, is the best option. At this moment, Rei can only fire four (one in any post) before he uses up all of his energy.
4: Sealed wind: Black Hole
Only usable by Shingotsu During Bankai.
Far from being an actual black hole, this technique removes all air and wind from the edge of the blade, essentially creating a vacuum along the length of Shingotsu's sword. When the edge of her blade comes in contact with solid matter, it instantly begins reacting with the air in the atmosphere, which floods back along her sword blade, creating a back draft effect which causes a potent blast of reiatsu. If used on a foe who is not defending, the result would max out at a small second degree burn.
When used on a foe using Hierro or a similar defensive technique, it behaves differently, disrupting and cracking that technique in a small area from the point of impact. The affected area is then more easily cut until the Hierro or technique restores itself (1-3 posts depending on Hierro/technique strength).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ohgi (combination) Techniques:
Both Rei and Shingotsu can use these techniques. They are created when Rei uses three techniques in combination. Shingotsu can only use them in Bankai in conjunction with Rei's attacks.
Triple Strike Form One: A combination of Ripping Gust, Sussu Wakki, and Piercing Blow. It creates a larger, much more powerful version of Piercing blow. Used at close to medium range.
Triple Strike Form Two: A combination of Sussu Wakki, Ripping Gust, and Sonic Gale. This move creates an even faster, sharper blade. Used at medium/long Range.
Damning Stillness: A combintaion of Binding Gale, Ripping Gust and Suffocating stillness. Used to weaken and hold strong enemies in place. It is the only way Rei can use Suffocating Stillness without having an ally to hold his foe in place.
Silver Star: A combination of Sonic Gale, Blinding Breeze, and Sussu Wakki. Creates a very bright attack that has a tendency to momentarily blind foes. Used offensively and as a distraction. It is sharp and fast, but not nearly as fast or strong as Sonic Gale, so it is used more as a tactical move than a finishing attack. Shingotsu can strike it with her Black Hole technique to cause it to explode rather brightly and forcefully. Only usable in Bankai.
Executioner's Gale: Sonic Gale, Binding Gale, and Ripping Gust. It binds foes in a 12ft by 12ft area of wind, and creates hundreds of small wind blades: about an inch long, all of which strike at once. This is Rei's most powerful attack, but since it can be escaped by taking a few of the weaker single blades and bursting out of one side; it is most effective when the foe cannot move. Only usable in Bankai.
Sonic Dissonance: This move is a combination of Sussu Wakki, Repulsing Gale, and Ripping gust. Rei was able to use a weaker form of this move before, but it was unpracticed and less than predictable. The shield varies in protective strength between a 50's level bakudo, and somewhere near Danku, in Bankai. The real strength of this shield, however, is it's ability to pull apart and redirect the energy in an attack, as opposed to just blocking it. As another surprise, Rei has trained himself to be able to fire his Triple Strike: Form One, from the shield. The attack is not overly strong, but it is the element of surprise that can help Rei land a decent blow on an enemy.
─Kidō Information─
Bakudō Level:
He can only use Tenteikura. He is capable of using this technique without drawing the ink lines on his arms, and with only two fingers of one hand.
Hadō Level:
He was never that good at Hado, but now he can only use Kurohitsugi. He can manipulate the size to become smaller at will, but doing so causes the spell to be more taxing for him to use. He also cannot increase the spell's size in any way. He can leave a slit in the side of the box wide enough for him to fire a Sonic Gale into, after practicing with it for several years.
Shingotsu, however, has such skill in this move that she can use, manipulate and direct this move with near impunity.
Yusō Chūdō Level:
None at all.
Chiyu Chūdō Level:
None at all.
Shien Hōhō Level:
None at all.
Hybrid Techniques:
Hanki, but he's only marginally practiced with it. He is still capable of this technique after entering into Kurohime's Contract, but he's still not that good with it.
Forbidden Kidō:
None at all.
─Physical Information─
Hohō Level:
Just below a Captain's Level. He can out speed some slower captains, but any who are well practiced with Shunpo could move far more quickly than him.
Hakuda Level:
Poor. Piss Poor. STILL piss poor XD
Zanjutsu Level:
Master Level, and it's Something Rei keeps practicing in to get better every day. It's one of his specialties. At this point, his swordsmanship is almost perfected. Another few decades, and only true masters of the sword would be able of keeping pace with him in a straight sword fight.
When in Bankai, Shingotsu helps him wield his spear with near mastery level skill, but his skills need a bit of polishing.

Affiliation: Seireitei
Previous Affiliation: None
Occupation: Squad one Lieutenant
Previous Occupation:
Team: Jasmine Seshiro, Gato Shingaara, Hinata Seshiro
Partner: Jasmine Seshiro
─Skills Information─
Intelligence: Exceeding Average. Rei's a smart guy, but he's too lazy to let it show most times. He can think through most problems, so long as he can keep a level head. Shingotsu's mental dialogue with him helps him to do just that. His specialty is analysing an opponent's fighting style to find weak spots and holes in defenses.
Athletic Skill: Far beyond Average. Rei can run, jump, dodge, roll, spin, and perform almost inhuman feats of short distance movement. His skills could be related to that of a very skilled parkour runner.
Strength: Average for a Shinigami. He relies on proper form to deal damage, as opposed to overwhelming force.
Speed: Above Average. He can move with surprising speed when he focuses on it, but he prefers to out maneuver his enemies instead of out speeding them.
Agility: Above Average. He can maintain, control, and almost instantly redirect his speed and momentum to dodge and attack unpredictably.
Stamina: Below Average. He can keep fighting in Shikai almost indefinitely, but in Bankai, his stamina becomes an issue, as the use of it drains him considerably.
Durability: Average
Endurance: Average
Flexibility: Below Average
Any Special Skills:
(Unusual skills your character may have that make them unique from others, well more unique)
─Other Information─
Character Theme: Stop The World by Riddlin Kids
Other:
Captain Class Reiryoku: Rei's reiryoku, now that he has achieved Bankai, is at the level of a moderately powerful captain. He has gained precise control of his power now, and uses it to deliver deceptively strong strikes. He is still finicky about using his power in battle, and tends to use it up more quickly than others when in his Bankai. Since sacrificing the use of his Kido, he has reduced the amount of Reiryoku used up when in his Bankai by a good amount. He still uses energy faster than someone who has had real time to master their Bankai, but the effect is greatly reduced. Yet, he has no doubts about using all of his power to protect someone he cares about. In that sort of situation, he is at the pinnacle of his power.
Kurohime's Contract: By sacrificing the use of his Kido, except for two spells, Rei has increased the power of his Zanpakuto techniques drastically, as though he has had another 100 years to train with them. It has made him capable of using his Zanpakuto's attacks, especially his Bankai ones, as though he has been practicing with them for centuries. His Shikai has become much more powerful suddenly, and his Bankai is far more powerful than it should be at his level of development. He is completely incapable of learning any kido ever again, and cannot use any except for Tenteikura and Kurohitsugi.

─Zanpakuto Information {Sealed}─
Zanpakuto Name: Shingotsu
Zanpakuto Appearance: Shingotsu (Sword Form)
Zanpakuto Spirit: Shingotsu
Inner World:
Basic Zanpakuto Attacks/Powers:
1: Shingotsu has a permanently manifested body. All that she requires is a bit of Rei's reiryoku after a fight. She can fight using whatever Kido Rei knows, but cannot fight while Rei is in Shikai, as it forces her back into her sword form.
2: Shingotsu can manipulate the wind and fade in and out whenever she wants to. This makes her VERY annoying at times.
3: Basic Wind manipulation. He can move small projectiles out of the way, create gusts, and even create gusts large enough to force people back a few feet.
4. Restorative Winds: Shingotsu, using her own energy and the winds she creates, can heal Rei's minor to moderate injuries (scrapes, cuts, minor burns, up to something as large as a long flesh wound), with some ease. Anything up to a cut down to the bone can be healed by Shingotsu; but the worse the injury is, the more difficult it is for her to heal. Veins, tendons, and muscles are the first things reconnected. This move does not work in the same fashion as healing kido, and does not restore Rei's reiryoku. He must be conscious for it to work, and he cannot be in Shikai or Bankai.
─Zanpakuto Information {Shikai}─
Shikai Incantation: "Rise, Shingotsu!"
Shikai Appearance: Shingotsu (Shikai)
Shikai Abilities:
1. Enhanced Wind Control, allowing Rei to "read" the wind to the point of sensing minute movements in the area around him and follow enemies he cannot see. This skill makes fast moving enemies much easier to track, and helps him thwart doppelganger style abilities. The only surefire way to circumvent the ability is to disrupt the wind flow in the area. Other wind users are good at doing that. In Bankai, he can read wind even more precisely and easily.
Shikai Techniques:
1: First wind: Sussu Wakki
Creates a large gust of wind capable of knocking foes backwards. It, in and of itself cannot cause harm, but causes harm if enemies are knocked into things. Slows down Shunpo or equivalent techniques when pointed at someone using them. The effect reduces the speed of those techniques by about 10-25%, depending on the foe. Equivalent to a 10th level offensive kido in terms of overall strength.
2: Second wind: Binding Gale
Creates high-speed wind currents to entangle an opponent's movements. It's like a Bakudo, only stronger because Rei can reinforce it for as long as there is wind around him, or the person being bound. This includes winds he creates, and can be reinforced in proportion to the amount of wind in the area. Equivalent to a 30th level binding kido in overall strength, and can reach up to a level 60 binding kido. In Bankai, it can be held as strong as a 70's level Bakudo.
3: Third wind: Ripping Gust
Sharpens and concentrates the winds along the blade, making it hit harder and swing faster. The blade shape can be modified and extended, allowing him to extend the overall effective reach of the sword. This technique is constantly active, which is what allows him to cut with a sakabato; but when it is evoked, it becomes more powerful, allowing him to cut through average strength hierro. In Bankai, he can cut through an average Espada's Hierro with a bit of focus.
4: Fourth wind: Blinding Breeze
Concentrates dust and particles in the air to reduce enemy's range and acuity of vision. This can at worst create an effect to cloud someone's sight, and not completely remove it. This technique is not reiryoku based, and therefore is much harder to detect and avoid. More effective when used on a small area, and when there are more particles to move with the wind.
5: Fifth wind: Repulsing Gale
Creates a strong gust of wind from the hilt to reduce the speed and strength of incoming blows. Automatically happens at a level that makes incoming blows about 20 percent slower and weaker; but it is stronger if done intentionally. It is Rei's only distinctly defensive technique. When he does this technique with a determination to protect himself, he can stop sword blows of equally powerful foes before they ever reach him or his sword.
6: Sixth wind: Piercing Blow
Spins the wind on the blade at extremely high speeds, and releases it with a thrust, creating a drill effect. This can be large or small, and the more time Rei spends building into this technique, the stronger it becomes. The minimum amount of time it takes to use is half of a second. At that point, it has the approximate strength of a Byakurai (max of five in a post): the maximum charge time is one minute (1 post), at which point it could pierce a Danku or an Espada's Hierro quite well. It can be manipulated to target a small or large area, and the more narrow the current is, the more powerful the piercing power.
─Zanpakuto Information {Bankai}─
Bankai Name Kurohime Shingotsu
Bankai Release Incantation: Heed now the air, Heed now the blade, for I call upon the queen of the ninth wind: Rage, Kurohime Shingotsu!
Bankai Appearance: A traditional Chinese Naginata. Rei’s hair becomes whiter as his reiatsu is consumed.
Bankai Attacks/Powers:
Unified Front: Shingotsu battles alongside Rei, using his Sakabato from his Shikai and Sealed states. Her body is permanently manifested in Bankai, and she can phase in and out of the wind around her to avoid any harm. If she is taken by surprise and attacked, she still phases into the wind to avoid harm, so it is simply not possible to harm her in this form. Doing so cancels any attack she was trying to deliver though, so her effectiveness largely relies on her and Rei's co-operation.
1: Seventh wind: Suffocating stillness
Separates the oxygen from the air around enemies and pulls it away, slowly depriving them of air. It can only affect a small area, so it can be evaded by moving. He rarely uses this move, and almost never if his foe is not held in place by someone else. This technique is difficult to maintain, so he most focus on using it and no other techniques at the same time. The effect takes a while to reach the effect of rendering someone unconscious, equal to as long as someone can hold their breath. Continued use after that point could kill someone, if no one intervenes.
2: Eighth wind: Raging Torrent
Mixes Hydrogen with oxygen in the atmosphere to create water. Rei cannot control water, but it is pulled in with his wind based techniques and used to create increased physical force. Such a precise chemical equation takes some manner of focus to achieve, and so it takes him about three seconds to produce about a pint of water if he's using other techniques at the same time. If he focuses on just creating water, he can produce a gallon in about five seconds. The attack can be used with his other moves, but their speed is reduced about five percent when used with it.
3: Ninth wind: Sonic Gale
Wind along the blade rotates at speeds above that of sound, creating a small sonic boom when the attack is released. The wind is released from the blade in the form of a wide crescent moon. The attack cannot be blocked by blades, shields, or other small physical techniques or defenses, as it simply reforms on the other side of them. Something the size of a Danku could part it long enough for the person behind it to remain unharmed. This technique is strong enough to slice right through most single Danku though, and a Hierro would likely be sliced clean through in a single swing. The speed of this attack maxes out around Mach 2, so it is not to be trifled with or underestimated. It travels in a straight line, so evasion, while difficult, is the best option. At this moment, Rei can only fire four (one in any post) before he uses up all of his energy.
4: Sealed wind: Black Hole
Only usable by Shingotsu During Bankai.
Far from being an actual black hole, this technique removes all air and wind from the edge of the blade, essentially creating a vacuum along the length of Shingotsu's sword. When the edge of her blade comes in contact with solid matter, it instantly begins reacting with the air in the atmosphere, which floods back along her sword blade, creating a back draft effect which causes a potent blast of reiatsu. If used on a foe who is not defending, the result would max out at a small second degree burn.
When used on a foe using Hierro or a similar defensive technique, it behaves differently, disrupting and cracking that technique in a small area from the point of impact. The affected area is then more easily cut until the Hierro or technique restores itself (1-3 posts depending on Hierro/technique strength).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ohgi (combination) Techniques:
Both Rei and Shingotsu can use these techniques. They are created when Rei uses three techniques in combination. Shingotsu can only use them in Bankai in conjunction with Rei's attacks.
Triple Strike Form One: A combination of Ripping Gust, Sussu Wakki, and Piercing Blow. It creates a larger, much more powerful version of Piercing blow. Used at close to medium range.
Triple Strike Form Two: A combination of Sussu Wakki, Ripping Gust, and Sonic Gale. This move creates an even faster, sharper blade. Used at medium/long Range.
Damning Stillness: A combintaion of Binding Gale, Ripping Gust and Suffocating stillness. Used to weaken and hold strong enemies in place. It is the only way Rei can use Suffocating Stillness without having an ally to hold his foe in place.
Silver Star: A combination of Sonic Gale, Blinding Breeze, and Sussu Wakki. Creates a very bright attack that has a tendency to momentarily blind foes. Used offensively and as a distraction. It is sharp and fast, but not nearly as fast or strong as Sonic Gale, so it is used more as a tactical move than a finishing attack. Shingotsu can strike it with her Black Hole technique to cause it to explode rather brightly and forcefully. Only usable in Bankai.
Executioner's Gale: Sonic Gale, Binding Gale, and Ripping Gust. It binds foes in a 12ft by 12ft area of wind, and creates hundreds of small wind blades: about an inch long, all of which strike at once. This is Rei's most powerful attack, but since it can be escaped by taking a few of the weaker single blades and bursting out of one side; it is most effective when the foe cannot move. Only usable in Bankai.
Sonic Dissonance: This move is a combination of Sussu Wakki, Repulsing Gale, and Ripping gust. Rei was able to use a weaker form of this move before, but it was unpracticed and less than predictable. The shield varies in protective strength between a 50's level bakudo, and somewhere near Danku, in Bankai. The real strength of this shield, however, is it's ability to pull apart and redirect the energy in an attack, as opposed to just blocking it. As another surprise, Rei has trained himself to be able to fire his Triple Strike: Form One, from the shield. The attack is not overly strong, but it is the element of surprise that can help Rei land a decent blow on an enemy.
─Kidō Information─
Bakudō Level:
He can only use Tenteikura. He is capable of using this technique without drawing the ink lines on his arms, and with only two fingers of one hand.
Hadō Level:
He was never that good at Hado, but now he can only use Kurohitsugi. He can manipulate the size to become smaller at will, but doing so causes the spell to be more taxing for him to use. He also cannot increase the spell's size in any way. He can leave a slit in the side of the box wide enough for him to fire a Sonic Gale into, after practicing with it for several years.
Shingotsu, however, has such skill in this move that she can use, manipulate and direct this move with near impunity.
Yusō Chūdō Level:
None at all.
Chiyu Chūdō Level:
None at all.
Shien Hōhō Level:
None at all.
Hybrid Techniques:
Hanki, but he's only marginally practiced with it. He is still capable of this technique after entering into Kurohime's Contract, but he's still not that good with it.
Forbidden Kidō:
None at all.
─Physical Information─
Hohō Level:
Just below a Captain's Level. He can out speed some slower captains, but any who are well practiced with Shunpo could move far more quickly than him.
Hakuda Level:
Poor. Piss Poor. STILL piss poor XD
Zanjutsu Level:
Master Level, and it's Something Rei keeps practicing in to get better every day. It's one of his specialties. At this point, his swordsmanship is almost perfected. Another few decades, and only true masters of the sword would be able of keeping pace with him in a straight sword fight.
When in Bankai, Shingotsu helps him wield his spear with near mastery level skill, but his skills need a bit of polishing.

─Skills Information─
Intelligence: Exceeding Average. Rei's a smart guy, but he's too lazy to let it show most times. He can think through most problems, so long as he can keep a level head. Shingotsu's mental dialogue with him helps him to do just that. His specialty is analysing an opponent's fighting style to find weak spots and holes in defenses.
Athletic Skill: Far beyond Average. Rei can run, jump, dodge, roll, spin, and perform almost inhuman feats of short distance movement. His skills could be related to that of a very skilled parkour runner.
Strength: Average for a Shinigami. He relies on proper form to deal damage, as opposed to overwhelming force.
Speed: Above Average. He can move with surprising speed when he focuses on it, but he prefers to out maneuver his enemies instead of out speeding them.
Agility: Above Average. He can maintain, control, and almost instantly redirect his speed and momentum to dodge and attack unpredictably.
Stamina: Below Average. He can keep fighting in Shikai almost indefinitely, but in Bankai, his stamina becomes an issue, as the use of it drains him considerably.
Durability: Average
Endurance: Average
Flexibility: Below Average
Any Special Skills:
(Unusual skills your character may have that make them unique from others, well more unique)
─Other Information─
Character Theme: Stop The World by Riddlin Kids
Other:
Captain Class Reiryoku: Rei's reiryoku, now that he has achieved Bankai, is at the level of a moderately powerful captain. He has gained precise control of his power now, and uses it to deliver deceptively strong strikes. He is still finicky about using his power in battle, and tends to use it up more quickly than others when in his Bankai. Since sacrificing the use of his Kido, he has reduced the amount of Reiryoku used up when in his Bankai by a good amount. He still uses energy faster than someone who has had real time to master their Bankai, but the effect is greatly reduced. Yet, he has no doubts about using all of his power to protect someone he cares about. In that sort of situation, he is at the pinnacle of his power.
Kurohime's Contract: By sacrificing the use of his Kido, except for two spells, Rei has increased the power of his Zanpakuto techniques drastically, as though he has had another 100 years to train with them. It has made him capable of using his Zanpakuto's attacks, especially his Bankai ones, as though he has been practicing with them for centuries. His Shikai has become much more powerful suddenly, and his Bankai is far more powerful than it should be at his level of development. He is completely incapable of learning any kido ever again, and cannot use any except for Tenteikura and Kurohitsugi.
