─Personal Information─

Personality:
Often times, from just observing, he seems to be one to maintain a stern, serious, also often distance personality.. People may even fear going near him because he often gives them a glare if hes in an iffy mood. Despite him being a more or less freelancer of the Royal Guard in the past, he respects the orders that are given to him when they are, and follows them out to the letter unless it interferes with his own personal matter.
He is highly intimidating, often frightening weaker opponents, or even allies with a cold glare, he can easily clear a room of the cowards and brave. In combat, he is usually merciless, to the point that he would kill an opponent if he truly had to, he also is one to take on an opponent if he needs too, even if they are stronger than him which he considers a 'test' of his abilities.
Though when he loses his temper in a goofy and exaggerated comical style.
Though underneath that heartless outer shell, hes quite a kind hearted guy, often defending those he sees as innocent from something, usually putting himself in combat because of that, he is also rather humorous.. Such as moments if hes with someone that's younger than him, he will often times refer to himself as babysitting them. Something that causes a lot of aggravation in the younger person though.
He does have a warm, open spot to his friends and somewhat his students. Though with a certain friend, his closest, and love interest, Ayame, he has a friendly competitive side, turning everything into a competition with her. Though strangely despite their relationship, they don't do many lovey dovey things. Probably because of their competitive personalities towards each other.
Finally.. He has his moments where he is extremely lazy, or tired.. In such cases he will randomly sleep almost anywhere.

Hobbies:
Training, Sleeping, Eating, Observing, Experimenting with possible new Sword Styles, and training his team, and training with Ayame.

Red, Crimson, Black, possibly others.

Things with Chicken, maybe meat in general except for Fish. Rice, salty foods, and certain kinds of ice cream.
Types of Soda, Milk, a lot of sweet drinks.
Other Personal Likes:

Personal Secret(s):
He is from an another dimension, accidentally brought herby Leere with Ayame, Ayaka, and Hisashi.

History:
He has no history of his human life, if he ever was alive that is. His history goes as far back as when he appeared to be very young, at least compared to now.. He was in the Academy, but also lived in the Rukon district, but didn't live with a family. He was one of the top swordsmen in his class, despite the fact that they usually used wooden swords for training, eventually he did become the top.. Then their class got a knew student, a girl named Ayame, and she challenged Shuzo to a fight. Before Shuzo could even get his first move, the girl stuck him on the head and defeated him.. So fast, so simple.. It embarrassed him, it hurt his pride.. That caused him to feel anger towards her, which lead to more and more fights like that with each passing day, but each one ended in utter defeat for Shuzo, the girl was very cocky towards him as well, often gloating about her victories against him to intimidate him..
Over time, after classes in the Academy, during the evenings and nights, Shuzo would put himself through strict training courses that he set up in the Rukon Forest, from weight lifting to dummies to strike with wooden swords.. (Would get cut if real swords were used) Sometime during his training, Ayame followed him and watched how he trained.. In such a way that she didn't use to get her skill, but it was very advance compared to hers.. She would follow and watch him for several passing days, until one day he literally shattered some of the wooden dummies, before passing out.. Ayame took his unconscious body back to her home, which happened to also be a restaurant.. By the time Shuzo awoke, he found himself in an empty room, his body was very sore.. He seemed to have over trained that night.. Though he had the strength to get up, he slowly walked from the room, and wandered through the halls, until he smelt something cooking.. Hungry, he followed his nose, only to see Ayame, along with her mother in the kitchen cooking something.. Well, Ayame was setting things on a tray, which she was preparing to take to the room that Shuzo was in, she turned carrying the tray only to drop it seeing Shuzo right there, mostly in surprise sense he seemed to be so exhausted the previous night, she didn't think he would be able to move from the bed.

After that first meet encounter without combat, the two got to talking.. They seemed to actually share the same goals, to become amazing Shinigami through only the means of Swordsmanship, no Kido, no magic s**t like that.. Just solid physical combat.. Their meets and conversations continued on for days, Shuzo going to the restaurant every day after classes at the Academy to meet with Ayame.. They still had their spares often.. Though after a few weeks of keeping this up, they made a promise.. A pact, that they would both work towards their goal.. Which is to, in basic terms to become the greatest of swordsman, to achieve some of the highest greatness a Shinigami can obtain without the use of anything else but physical combat... With that, they continued through the Academy being the top students in swordsmanship, but Ayame always being better than him.. They graduated two years later, and were both placed in the Eleventh Division, for obvious reasons.. They easily climbed the ranks of the squad, Ayame becoming the Lieutenant and Shuzo becoming the third seat.. Their friendship, and rivalry continued for years to come..
Though finally, one day during one of their spars.. Something amazing happened, at least for Shuzo, he actually managed to beat Ayame in a fight.. Though Ayame was also happy for this, since now they were equal, or he was higher.. Making their rivalry more interesting.. To congratulate him, she gave him a Katana, Kurai Yoru (暗い夜; Dark Night).. It was the Katana that she used before she obtained her Zanpakuto, it was a very fancy one as well.. Shuzo couldn't believe it.. He gladly accepted the gift from her, though.. His happiness didn't last long.. The following day, they were sent on a mission.. Apparently one of the Gotei went rogue, and they were to hunt him down.. Though once they went into the Rukon forest, Shuzo let his guard down while he was searching.. The rogue came from no where in a sneak attack, when bam.. Blood splattered, and a body collapsed.. But it wasn't Shuzo's.. It was Ayame's, who saw the rogue coming in for the attack, and exchanged her life for Shuzo's.. The rogue took off afterwards, leaving Shuzo with the slowly dying girl that he held in his arms.. Though she seemed to smile.. Her last words to him were "D-Don't think.. This effects our promise... Now you gotta do it for me, Shuzo-kun..".. With that, the wound finally took its final toll, taking the girls life..

The story takes us to many years after the incident, Shuzo, is now that of Captain Class surprisingly, (What squad, I couldn't decide.) truly.. He wanted to give up on the Gotei after what happened with Ayame at first, but it was clear to him he would have to remain if he wanted to truly succeed in their goal.. Though he seemed to have incredible talent, even for a Captain, mostly because of his young age. He spent a few decades as a Captain before he got a special request to meet with Misaki Shihoin and a special guest. The special guest was a representative of the Royal Guard, with a special invitation from the Royal Realm to join the Royal Guard, the news literally shocked Shuzo, but he gladly accepted.. Now being officially the youngest member to ever join the Royal Guard. And knowing that joining got him so much closer to his goal, perhaps it was their goal all together.. But then he had to defend his own title.

It was years later though, something happened that would change his life forever.. Yet was the clear gateway to his final goal.. One night, as Shuzo claims anyways, Ayame came to him in a dream, she claimed that to become the Greatest Swordsman he would have to quest the Five Legendary Blades. Which, he already had one. She pointed out that a blade lies within each realm. Kurai Yoru, was the blade of the Soul Society.. Shuzo received the sword from Ayame when she was still alive after he had defeated her in a spar. Ayame's title was the Young Swordswoman. There were four other blades, in the Royal Realm, Human World, Hueco Mundo, and finally in Hell.. Ayame said that the only swordsman to have had the five blades under their control was the original creator, that had been sealed in the depths of Hell because he used them for evil.. He was defeated by four legendary swordsmen and women, and each took a blade with them to a rightful realm. To ensure they wouldn't fall into evil hands again. Now the swords had new wielders, either being lost in combat, or being passed down to family or friends as gifts, no sword had only one wielder.. She also said that Shuzo's instinct as a swordsman would be what guides him to the legendary weapons.. However, he wouldn't be the only one questing these blades he soon learned..
Over the next few days, Shuzo returned to the Royal Guard to give his temporary resignation until he returned from his quest.. Though before he even had the chance to leave, something came to shock him.. A woman, that looked exactly like Ayame was in the Royal Realm.. This was something that left him in shock for quite a bit, along with her first statement.. That she wanted to take Kurai Yoru from Shuzo.. Apparently, this girl.. Mayumi, had one of these legendary blades.. The one of the Royal Realm, Teikoku Tate. This was a challenge, and as an honorable swordsman Shuzo would never back down.. They would do an old fashion dual with their chosen sword, nothing more, and they were not to release their Will Forms because of being in the Royal Realm.. Even limiting themselves, they were life threatening to each other, each of them exchanging blows, but refusing to back down.. Neither would fall, no matter how hard they tried.. The battle literally went on for hours with them going sword on sword.. In the end.. There was no victor.. They ran themselves to the point that they passed out, so other Royal Guard members tended to their wounds and let them rest.. Though because of Shuzo's ability to rest for long periods of time, and save up energy to opperate days at a time, he took longer to awake..
By the time Shuzo awoke, some members of the Royal Guard gave him a note that Mayumi left behind for him.. It stated this.
"Dear Shuzo,
You only got lucky that time, the next time we fight it wont last as long.. I can ensure you that. I couldn't wait for you to wake up to fight again, so I decided it was best to get ahead of the game.. I went out to quest the other two blades.. If you have any guts, you'll look for me.. Maybe even go after the blades yourself, and the next time that we meet, it will be the battle that will show who deserves to go on to claim the final prize..
I'll be waiting for you, Shuzo.
Sincerely, Mayumi"
This was a challenge, in the middle of a quest, he had a challenge at the same time.. That was more like it, though he would have liked to have been able to fight all four of the wielders, having a rival always made things more interesting.. Shuzo didn't hesitate, he instantly moved out of the medical bay, and went to the Human World, that's where he would look for the first blade that he hoped to attain.. Though.. How would he find it? Ayame said something about the instinct of the swordsman being able to lead the way to the legendary blade, or perhaps it was to the wielder... His searches, brought him to Karakura Town, of course. He wasn't sure where to begin, but something about Karakura town seemed to even draw him in.. He was in a Gigai, but had Kurai Yoru materialized with himself while he was in the Gigai.. He actually came across a sword shop, and went inside to look around.. He wasn't entirely comfortable only having one sword in the human world, its not that Kurai Yoru wasn't enough for him.. It was just if something happened while he was in his Gigai. While he was in the shop, the shop owner took an eye to his sword, and began offering him random prices for the sword.. It was as if the keeper would do anything to get his hands on the sword.. Shuzo kept denying, but the keeper wouldn't take no for an answer until a man spoke up, a white haired man that the Shop keeper knew.. He referred to him as Jiang, and instantly stopped pestering Shuzo.. Though something about Jiang was different.. The two talked for a bit, and they left the store..

It was about a week later, that it came clear to both of them who they had just met.. The two, they both had legendary blades.. It was ironic, Shuzo had Kurai Yoru, and Jiang had Rén zhī jiàn, Jiang asked why Shuzo was actually here.. He was on the quest to gather the five blades, and become the most powerful swordsman in the world.. This meant.. The two were meant to battle. It took place the following day, in a clearing in the Karakura Forest.. They were to do only blade to blade combat, nothing more.. The victor, would walk away with the opponents blade.. They were both putting something they held dear on the line.. Shuzo, the blade he received from his friend Ayame.. And Jiang, the blade he received from his 'father'.. The two would old fashion duel.. The duel, went on for just over an hour, each sword clash sent sparks.. Both would receive numerous wounds.. Though Jiang, was something different.. Every so often, the blade would pass through him.. Something that left Shuzo curious.. The battle ended with a one sword technique, Suto o Oete (ストを終えて, Finishing Strike), which hit successfully and dealt a blow that prevented any further movement from Jiang.. The match was set.. Though something was strange.. Shuzo, he didn't ask for the blade.. He simply thanked Jiang for the battle, and said it was time for him to move on.. This confused Jiang, since they both put their blades on the line.. Yet Shuzo wouldn't take the blade.. It was because when Shuzo locks blades with someone, he can feel a connection with them.. As if he was looking into their heart.. That blade meant more to him than anything, Shuzo couldn't just take it with him.. He was going to spend one last day in Karakura Town before heading out to find the next blade, if not Mayumi.. Though, when he was about to leave.. Jiang found him again.. He insisted that Shuzo took the sword, for his quest.. This, was the start of a life long friendship.. Jiang even came a long with him, with a substitute sword.. By now, Shuzo figured Mayumi would have already obtained the blade of Hueco Mundo..
((The quest for the five blades is under construction.))

Twenty Years ago, after making friends with various new faces around the Seireitei, and reuniting with Ayame who was revived as a Perdu, he also resigned from the Royal Guard. He, Ayame, Leere Seshiro, and Hisashi Hirase and Ayaka Shizu got together to test out an invention of Leere's, a newly developed version of the space bridge, which should actually have breached into another dimension.. Which, it actually did! Such an amazing device was actually real, but.. Something went wrong, something caused the generators creating the vortex into this dimension to short out, trapping the five in the new dimension.. Though, the five made the best of their lives here.. Him and Ayame had each other at least, a sort of relationship formed between them.. Though they didn't really have lovey dovey, they had some occasionally though.
Him and Ayame became the mentors of the children of the wedded Hisashi and Ayaka after Kata dropped out of the Academy, this caused the four of them to create a team without a name, because him and Ayaka constantly fight over the name.


─Zanpakuto Information {Sealed}─

Zanpakuto Name:
Ta Ken Kōhai (多剣後背, Multi-Sword Style)
Zanpakuto Appearance:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Ta Ken Kōhai is a three bladed Zanpakuto, which itself, even without Shikai and Bankai can only be used fully by a truly skilled swordsman, the black handle blade is usually held by the right hand, the red stringed handle by the left hand, and the white blade, by its handle is held in the wielders mouth.. Ta Ken Kōhai is specifically a physical combat kind of Zanpakuto, the blades are very durable and has very high cutting capability, being able to slice through most Espada Class Herrio's with rather ease. Since he is able to cut through stone, and also able to cut through steel.. He also has the ability tocurve his blades to just the right point that it wont actually cut, but only make impact.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
The Swordswoman
Inner World:
To be added.
Basic Zanpakuto Attacks/Powers:
Enhanced Physical Abilities:
Training specifically in Physical combat for his Zanjutsu skill, he has exceedingly high Physical Abilities, Strength, Speed, Durability, Agility, all and more are unnaturally high, to the point that many would consider him a monster.. An example of some of these unusually high physical traits are such as him being able to cut through boulders, thick stone all together with the ease of a slash, and that he can at points cut through steal. If he focuses his Spiritual Power in with the strength of his slash, he can send a clear wave of compressed air that travels and cuts objects at a distance, unusually used on a higher scale.
His speed is also superb compared to most, being able to make swift, untraceable movements to the eyes of others.. As well as being able to throw a furry of sword slashes and other attacks in a matter of moments, allowing him to easily overwhelm an opponent.
Zanjutsu Mastery:
Zanjutsu is a skill that Shuzo has mastered to its fullest extent, being able to perform various sword styles and sword techniques, he even took himself to a further level of swordsmanship, mastering a level of swordsmanship that used three blades, one in each hand, then one in his mouth. His Zanpakuto is specifically designed for swordsmanship, his sealed state having three, the shikai having seven blades, and the bankai having nine blades, he acquired his own level of swordsmanship because of his Zanpakuto.
There will be many unlisted sword techniques on the Rpc, that will be revealed in Role Play.
One Sword Style:
The most basic style of swordsmanship, one very common among the races, Shinigami, Arrancar, Visored, even Quincy's Seele Schneider. If hes against an opponent that he thinks is far beneath his level and isn't worthy of seeing his true power, he will often use one blade against them. (Usuaully the white handled blade or the none Zanpakuto katana). He is very skilled with a single sword, and can put quite a pack of power behind his slashes, allowing his slash to effect the air and slash quite a long distance, something that can surprise some opponents if they distance themselves and expect to be fine.
Two Sword Style:
An enhanced swordstyle that is rather rare to see people part take in now days of the modern world, though hes focusing on two blades now.. His skill with the sword is only enhanced, he is able to operate twice as well as before, due to him being adapted to using both of his hands since he is also ambidextrous. He can easily over whelm an opponent, as well as block and strike opponents at the same time.. By swinging both of his blades swiftly, he can perform what looks like hundreds of slashes, this allows him to completely butcher an opponent, take out multiple opponents at once, or even cut apart energy attacks before they can hit the person.
Three Sword Style:
His best sword style when he isn't using his Zanpakuto's Shikai or Bankai, by holding a sword in each hand, then putting an additional sword, the white handled sword in his mouth.. He is able to use this sword style in various ways that even a duel blade style couldn't do, such as holding an opponent off with the two on hand swords, then jerk his neck to land a deadly attack on the distracted opponent. He can perform High speed attacks, direct attacks, and even air projectile attacks (Due to him slashing to cause razor sharp air slashes.) Most of the sword techniques he knows are with the Three-Sword Style.
One of his most famous and dangerous techniques with the Three-Sword Style is Tatsumaki (竜巻, Tornado) Which he is able to perform by spinning himself and himself and his swords rapidly, this causes a series of slashes like a buzz saw, as well as rapid air slashes that circle around him and launch out, this technique is used only if he sees its truly fit.
Taunt Sword Style:
Weapon Appearance
This sword style is merely for fun, for the most part anyways. When its not in use, it resembles a cross shaped pendant that remains hidden under his red shirt. Its about an average sized knife.. Though its Reshi enhanced to be highly durable, to take on full size sword attacks without being damaged.. He often uses this if he thinks an opponent is too weak for even his one sword style, or if they are too eager, to reckless, and to arrogant to see his power (In his opinion.) Or, he may just use it to screw with people.. He is capable of taking on a skilled opponent directly with simply this knife.


─Zanpakuto Information {Shikai}─

Shikai Incantation:
"Step it up! Ta Ken Kōhai!"
Shikai Appearance:
Upon calling the release command, he throws his three katana's up into the air, with that they illuminate in a bright, blinding glow, which in moments cause the three separate swords to share one massive flash.. Then, the flash clears to reveal the numerous weapons in place of the three, which he makes the sudden movement to catch the falling weapons.
Seven Sword Style
The Shikai state takes the appearance of seven swords, taking the place of the three of the sealed state, six of the blades having red handles, while one has a white handle like one of the original blade.. In a swift motion, he catches the seven, often times to start out, the six red handled blades are got in multiple parts of his body, mostly in this fashion: (Reference Image), and the white handled blade itself is located in his mouth, just like in the sealed state version of the Zanpakuto.
Shikai Abilities:
•Seven Sword Style:
An even further extent of his amazing swordsmanship abilities is his shikai, often times a truly amazing sight in those who wish to train in the art of the sword, having many parts of his body holding up a blade, most would consider it impossible for one to move and fight in such a state, but it only shows the mans true skill.. With his enhanced movement do to the release power the Zanpakuto applies to him, he is able to make swift, often times unfollowable movements. During this he is often times rotating, and also often times throws the blades around his body in even faster movements, allowing no blade to stay in one place for more than a few moments while he is moving. His incredibly fast movements with these blades leaves little to no opening for an opponent to attack his body, and leaves little time to react for the opponent, allowing him to easily overwhelm unprepared opponents, often times even those who are prepared for the worse.
Shikai Techniques:
•Sword Techniques:
He most likely knows various sword techniques with these seven blades, seeing how he is a skilled swordsman.. Though such techniques will be revealed in the Role Play, then listed here when they have been revealed.
There are none that truly need to be listed at the beginning.


─Zanpakuto Information {Bankai}─

Bankai Name:
Shinsei Ta Ken Kōhai (神聖多剣後背, Sacred Multi-Sword Style)
Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance {While Bankai is Active}:
To be added.
Bankai Appearance:
Strangely enough, his Bankai seems to effect his body itself. Compressing his own Reshi to form four extra arms, while also gaining what seems to be two extra heads behind his own head, in a triangular formation. His number of blades also increased.. He now possesses three of each of the Katana's he had while his Zanpakuto was sealed, the black handle katana's in his right hands, the red string handle katana's in his left hands, and the white handle katana's in his three mouths.
Nine Sword Style
Bankai Attacks/Abilities:
While his Bankai is activated, he has physical enhancements, such as his strength, speed, and so on because of the new reiatsu released.. However, he also gained body changes itself. He now has what some may consider three heads, allowing him to see literally all around him, and then two extra sets of arms.. Making a total of six arms, leaving him able to wield nine swords total. In his Bankai state he resembles an Asura, having six arms and three faces, in this state his swordsmanship is at its finest.
•Nine-Sword Style:
His most dangerous sword style out of the several sword styles he possesses, this literally three times the skill he possesses with his sealed Zanpakuto's top sword style. It is very rare to meet someone that he considers worthy or dangerous enough for him to use his Bankai, but when he enters it his presence all together seems to darken.. He in moments can overwhelm his opponents with the multiple sword slashes, much faster than his sealed state Zanpakuto's Three Sword Style, he is capable of doing high speed attacks, direct attacks, air projectile attacks, and crowd/area leveling/passing through attacks. (Meaning he is able to easily cut his way through crows and structures and ect) In this state he has numerous sword techniques like his other states, but only those of importance will be listed.
•Mōretsuna Koma (こま猛烈な, Slashing Spinning Top; Slashing Top):
A sword technique that is very similar to Tatsumaki (竜巻, Tornado), which involves moving his blades and his body rapidly to create a violent series of attacks, however this one is much different.. Being stationed mostly on his toes, he begins to spin his body around rapidly, holding his blades up until his body itself becomes an entire blur that looks like a spinning top, when doing this he is able to move his spinning top self at very highspeeds, in order to hurtle himself at opponents or structures, and he is able to move his blades about as he does so, even a split second of contact with this slashing top can leave a victim with several painful cuts, if someone is stupid enough to put a single limb in the way, or gets it caught the limb can be completely cut apart and ripped from their body. When he is in this state, at times even energy based attacks cannot get based his slashing.
•Mōretsuna Koma Tatsumaki(こま猛烈な竜巻, Slashing Spinning Top Tornado; Slashing Top Tornado):
Easily one of his strongest existing sword techniques, it is a stationary attack.. It starts by him rotating himself, much like a Spinning Top in the previous technique until he himself is a blur, then, now that the rapid sword slashes are beginning to take effect he begins to rapidly rotate the individual blades except for the ones in his own mouths, as well as move them around.. This causes the wind, the air effected by the slashes to become visible, and begin tunneling up around the man, the visible air being razor sharp.. It continuously tunnels up until it itself forms a large tornado of razor sharp winds, while having the pulling force of a tornado, it also constantly releases razor sharp winds outwards towards the surrounding area.. Anything that is caught up in the razor tornado, whether its an inanimate object, structure, a living being, even an arrancar with an immense herrio, the razor winds can do none-stop repeated cuts until its cut up to the point it can't be cut any further, the closer one gets to Shuzo at the base, the more savage the winds become.. Though this attack doesn't come without a cost, it can last up to 5 post, but after the third post of this active attack, the razor winds begin to slice the user.

He has been limited by the Head Captain to only be able to release one of these blades in a dire situation, for the power of multiple at once could end in disaster.

Sword Name:
Kurai Yoru (暗い夜; Dark Night)

Guardian/Master:
Ayame - The Young Swordswoman - Defeated by Shuzo - Alive and Active
Shuzo Murakami - The Greatest of Swordsmen - Current Wielder - Active
Realm:
Soul Society
Description:
This is one of the five legendary swords, and each blade represents one of the five realms of existence. ((Human World, Seireitei, Hueco Mundo, Royal Realm, Hell.)) This blade is of the Soul Society, it is most famous for its cutting ability.. Being able to both cut through steel, and things harder than steel with, at times possible ease. It can also cut energy attacks, as well as hold them off.. Whether its Kido, Bala, Cero, or so on.. He is able to split the reshi that makes it and divide it to avoid him.
•The Will of Ayame:
Through the training, the connection he obtained with the sword, he was able to access a new level of power which each of the five blades posses, and that is activating the Guardian's Will in the blade, usually causing it to take a new shape. When its changed, it is an ornately decorated and very long blade with a total length of at least 7 feet. On the hilt of this blade is a crossguard, though the bars between the blade and the hilt are much longer than average. The blade itself is pitch-black with a very strong sheen, and its shape is similar to the German "Großes Messer", a single-edged long sword with a slight curve at the end of the blade.. Over all, it looks like a very large black cross.
•The Ultimate Sword Style:
This is truly the ultimate sword style in the eyes of Shuzo. The blade is immensely powerful, with a single swing one could send razor winds capable of cutting through massive in size, solid steel structures, as well as people even at incredibly long distances, this blade is given the title of being able to cut through anything, an example is one could cut through a Zanpakuto of even higher classed opponents, unless they have immense reiatsu to strengthen the blade to withstand it.. Despite this being a single blade, it is stronger than any other sword style besides that of the other four blades. He knows very few, but very fatal techniques with this sword style.
•Uchū Hikisa Surasshu(宇宙引裂スラッシュ, Space Tearing Slash):
The strongest technique that Shuzo Possesses, as well as the only energy based technique he possesses.. By focusing his Spiritual Power into the blade, the black blade begins to illuminate with bright, white energy.. Just the presence of this growing power effects the surrounding area, causing the ground around him to literally piece itself apart and float up.. Then, usually in a vertical slash, he releases a massive burst of white energy that rapidly expands, and leaves a trail of energy behind it as it grows.. This slash, is of raw reshi, anyone caught in this would be utterly destroyed, or severely damaged and burned.. No existing barrier has the true power to stop this attack, and once it reaches its end, it hits such a massive force of power, or Shuzo stops it early, it detonates in a truly devastating explosion.. The effects of its travel can leave an absolutely massive (Both wide and deep) trench through Karakura Town, The Seireitei, or even Las Noches..

Name:
Rén zhī jiàn (人之剑; Sword of Man)
Guardian/Master:
Jiang Wen Li - The Gale - Former Wielder - Alive;Inactive
Shuzo Murakami - The Greatest of Swordsmen - Current Wielder - Active
Realm:
Human World
Description:
This is one of the five legendary swords, and each blade represents one of the five realms of existence. ((Human World, Seireitei, Hueco Mundo, Royal Realm, Hell.)) This blade is of the human world. To all except for the wielder and those who have gone against it, it looks like nothing more than a sword. This is one of two swords in a constant Will form, along with Muramasa.
Unlike most of the other blades, this sword has had thousands of wielders while the others have had either one, or a small number of wielders.
The Will of Jiang:
The Sword does not change in appearance in its Will form because it is in a constant Will.
•Infinite Sword Style: The base ability of this sword lies in the concept of "Muscle Memory". Each of it wielders throughout the course of history moved, fought, and did things in their own ways, as is the nature of humans. Each of those people's bodies moved in ways that they felt comfortable doing. Those ways of movement, attack, defense, etc. were all ingrained into their muscles. This concept of muscle memory applies to ALL things done through physical means alone. The most noted example of this is the anecdote about riding a bike. As the anecdote says: "You never forget how to ride a bike!" That is because the body remembers the way it must move it's muscles in order to do a certain thing the mind of that body wants. As such, people form routines and train in certain ways because of that "Muscle Memory".

Rén zhī jiàn's entire power and form are based on this "Muscle Memory". As there have been many wielders of the sword over the years, it has known many masters. It has an absolute "Record" of the muscle memories of every single master in it's entire past. This may seem like a lack luster ability for a "Legendary" sword, but it is not to be underestimated. Outside of a proper sword fight, this may not seem like much, but the ability is cumulative. Any former owner who ever did anything with the sword committed those actions to muscle memory without even thinking about it. So the wielders of the sword throughout the ages became cumulatively more powerful.

Alone, the sword having it's "Record" is useless. Each wielder must forge a bond with the sword, and when it speaks to them, they must name it. At that point, the owner is given access to the muscle memory of ALL the past owners of the blade, allowing them to do all things that those individuals could do physically. Jiang named the sword "Musashi", after the legendary Japanese swordsman.


Name:
Teikoku Tate (帝国盾; Imperial Shield)

Guardian/Master:
Mayumi - The Vengeful Swordswoman - Former Wielder - Alive; Inactive
Shuzo Murakami - The Greatest of Swordsmen - Current Wielder - Active
Realm:
Royal Realm
Appearance:
The Will of Mayumi:
The Will of Mayumi is achieved after a special connection is made with the sword like three of the other four blades.. By making the connection, it allows the wielder to access its hidden power, and cause it to undergo a transformation.. It will swirl around with golden reshi that coats the blade, the golden reshi will expand, coating the wielders arm, and continuing to expand until what seems to just be a random large bulk of golden reshi appears, then it simply begins to fade.. Now, in the place of the Golden reshi is a giant silver, cross shaped shield, with sharpened edges that gleam in the light. The bottom of the shield is a point that comes from the two sides, as if it was a sword tip. Despite its massive size, being nearly bigger than the body. It is fairly easy to carry, there are straps on the users arm to help keep it on their person.
Defensive Sword Style
This sword style is specifically to protect the user, and those around him if under attack. The sword is, assumable indestructible, being able to withstand the strongest of attacks without cracking, with this sword someone can survive an attack that should ensure death, whether from in front or above. Its perfect curve built into the shield allows the shield to separate an energy attack so that it wont roll around and hit the wielder when it passes the shield. Its designed to have a surprisingly light weight, so it can be wielded freely. Its sharpened edges are also something to fear, because it can even be used for some offense.

Kago [[Divine Protection]]: (Designed by a.renee.w)
The true will of Imperial Shield is to protect those who are innocent, or not strong enough to shield themselves from danger. This technique creates a strong, golden [[you can change the color]] barrier around one or two people of the wielder's choice. The barrier is very sturdy and reliable, and would take several powerful attacks in order to rupture it. The user's will must match that of the swords before this technique can be used.

Kokoro no Ishi [[Will of the Heart]]: (Designed by a.renee.w)
This technique is meant to protect the weilder of the blade. This is because only those with pure intentions can open up and utilize this weapon, it has a desire to protect its master as well. It forms small barriers around the critical, and vulnerable parts of a person's body, such as she neck, parts of the chest, and the arms, so when in battle, they can continue on to protect what they want to protect without worry of taking too much damage.

Tengoku no Hantei (天国の判定, Heaven's Judgement):
The only offensive energy attack that this blade possesses.. It is only usable by one with a heart as pure as the swords intentions, which is wanting to protect the innocent, those who can't protect themselves.. If the wielder has a similar will, they can use this powerful technique.. By selecting a target that the consider is a sinner, one who wants to harm the innocent.. One who is tainted, they hold the shield blade up into the air above the caster, with that they call the techniques name, call the targets name, and state their crimes against humanity if they have such crimes, then, almost instantly, the sky will seem to tear open in a massive burst of blue energy that fires down to the earth below, causing the earth to quake as the now, pillar of energy from the sky cuts deep into the earths crust.. Then suddenly disappears.. This attack contains no explosion like most energy based attacks, but is so compressed, that literally almost anything, even Captain and high espada class opponents would be completely obliterated by the attack, leaving nothing to remain but an incredibly deep hole in the earth.


Name:
Seirei no Kokū (精霊の虚空; Void of Spirits)

Guardian/Master:
Sin Valor - The Beastly Swordsman - Former Wielder - Alive;Inactive
Shuzo Murakami - The Greatest of Swordsmen - Current Wielder - Active
Realm:
Hueco Mundo
Description :
The Will of Sin:
To be added.
--- Sword Style:
Work in progress.

Absorption:
The main ability of Seirei no Kokū is able to absorb any spirit of those that it kills. After death is inflicted, in any spirit [ including arrancar, hollow, togabito, human, and Shinigami alike ] will begin unraveling, like that of a ribbon. The ribbon will wrap around the swords blade, and then simply absorb into the cage like orb just above the handle of the blade. There will always be a faint moan of agony from the cage, there is a limit of seven hundred souls being able to be contained in the blade because it disrupts the balance. Though things with a Hollow Heart, Hollows and Arrancar's, it takes the original spirit, as well as converts their corruption into an additional bonus being added to the containment.

Seishin Surasshu (精神スラッシュ, Spirit Slash):
A basic technique that this sword has, is by releasing a small number of spirits, from five, up to twenty, for its fullest effect, the sword will begin to glow, and with the swing of a blade, an arch of energy will launch out from the sword.. Though strangely, its not exactly energy that's being launched.. Its a wave of compressed spirits, with blank faces that travels across in a arch.. Blank faces are seen partly out of the attack, and a moan constantly echoes until the attack is gone.

Seishinbakudan (精神爆弾, Spirit Bomb):
Easily the most powerful Spirit using attack, by unraveling the cage on the sword, all the spirits will flow out, while the user raises the blade tip to the sky above, the spirits will all flow to the tip of the blade, and start forming a massive orb of compressed Spirits, when it reaches its finish, depending on the number of Spirits it could be a massive orb that makes the user look extremely small.. The user will swing the blade in the desired direction, and launch the attack at the opponent.. When it detonates, it creates a massive, devastating explosion that obliterates all caught up within the explosion of energy. The attack itself is hard, if not impossible to dodge. But if this is used, all the Spirits that the sword will be released, leaving the sword without much power.

Of course, with a creative mind, there can be more uses than just these two techniques with the Spirits, though one must be creative with the power at hand.


Name:
Muramasa (村正; Muramasa)

Guardian/Master:
Muramasa - The Deadliest of Swordsmen - Former Wielder - Alive;Inactive
Shuzo Murakami - The Greatest of Swordsmen - Current Wielder - Active
Realm:
Hell
Description:
This is one of the five legendary swords, and each blade represents one of the five realms of existence. ((Human World, Seireitei, Hueco Mundo, Royal Realm, Hell.)) This blade is of the of Hell, it is the only one that is still wielded by its creator, as well as named after its creator, Muramasa. Unlike the other four blades, with the possible exception of Seirei no Kokū, it is a living blade. However, the living being that it is is one of pure evil. The man feature of Muramasa is the fact it can bring out the inner evil in anyone that wields it, even one of such caliber of its creator. The blade itself is an essence of evil, being the blade of hell, it gains more power with every soul sent to Hell, because of the evil sins they committed in the past.
Along with bringing out the inner evil of the wielder, it also turns the wielder into a blood thirsty, savage warrior the moment its drawn from its sheath.. It craves blood, and corrupts its wielder to attack in a berserker style.. Showing a lack of mercy, strangely enough with this blade, whenever it strikes to cause damage, it has a 95% chance of making a critical, or fatal hit on the opponent.. Even with the strongest of Wills, it can be impossible to suppress its evil.
It is one of two blades that have a constant will form.
It has only had one wielder, and that is its creator.
The Will of Muramasa:
Unlike Rén zhī jiàn, Muramasa doesn't need a connection made for some of its abilities to be available to the user, special abilities such as the ones involving blood however need to have a connection.
•Berserker Sword Style:
Proven to be one of the deadliest Sword Styles, maybe in fact the deadliest, it first starts with the draw of the blade. The blade itself symbolizes corruption, evil, blood lust.. It has a thirst for blood, and it refuses to be resheathed until it draws blood, whether its the blood of the opponent, the blood of the innocent, or the blood of the wielder.. However, that first strike also leads to something much worse.. Though it already starts to awaken a savage beast within the wielder upon drawing the blade, Muramasa absorbs the blood that it draws of the victim.. Tainting the wielder even further, which 90% of the time sends the wielder into a more of a berserker phase, even with a strong Will, the berserker phase is the sword style itself.. It increases all physical stats ten-fold at least, turning the wielder of the blade into a blood thirsty beast in basic terms.. The reiatsu that the wielder gives off usually during this isn't even that of a Shinigami for the most part, its completely tainted energy that could only be known as, even to those that are evil as pure evil energy.
•Shinku Kōzui (深紅洪水, Crimson Flood):
One of the multiple deadly abilities of Muramasa, this one is one that the wielder has to make a decent connection with the blade to even be able to use.. Muramasa has drawn a lot of blood in the thousands of years it has existed, each time it draws blood, the blood is absorbed into the blade, the technique that matches this one also helps with that.. Though its unknown how it is sword in the blade, it just is.. The primary use of this technique is to make a cut that gets into the opponents skin, when it does the technique can either be called or thought and blood will literally be pumped from the blade into the affected area at high speeds, pumping up to several pints, to maybe even gallons of blood, as much as the effected part of the body can withstand.. If say, its an arm, or a limb in general, it will pump several pints into the arm.. Causing the skin to stretch, growing so fast that it cannot withstand and literally burst in a blood mess, blowing apart the skin and muscle in the arm, maybe even damaging the bone.. This leaves only blood covered, and part of flesh covering the arm left over.. The pain, is unimaginable, and the victim can easily die from blood lost if not treated right away. If the chest is hit, in a major part like at the heart, and the pumping begins, it will pump far more than just pints, it will pump so much blood into the body, the entire body will begin to expand.. Until they body pops like a ballon, killing them in a massive, bloody mess that surely splatters blood on anyone around. (This of course would have to be approved because it would be auto death.)
However this can also be used without the contact of skin, by mixing with the wielder's reiatsu, it can release massive amounts of blood that can be in the size of floods, it can basically be used as distractions or crowed control.

Chimei Doren (致命ドレン, Deadly Drain):
This, is actually the literal.. Exact opposite of the technique Shinku Kōzui, instead of releasing blood into an opponent, or just in general, it is designed to drain the blood from an opponent. By say, striking their arm, and activating the technique, blood and body fluids, literally all moisture from the body will be drained from the area and stored in the sword.. By doing this, the skin shrivels and dries up, compressing tightly against the skin, also completely drying any muscles, leaving the entire arm dry, and bloodless.. As if it was a dead, dried out corpse. If this technique is used at a point on the chest, like say near or at the heart, it can completely drain the body of all of its blood and body fluids, drying up every single organ and muscle, and the skin, making them suffer a horrible death. (Would need opponents approval to use on the extension that would cause death.)

Muramasa’s Dark Desires:
If one with a heart of evil claims the blade Muramasa, the blade will open up more to the wielder, acting more like a Zanpakuto rather than the other four legendary blades which have set power, because of this, and its influence to bring the inner evil out in people, it has the title as the strongest, and most deadly of the five Legendary Blades. Also because of this, Shuzo, who has a heart of good intentions and warriors honor, he will never gain more than the two basic abilities and the sword style that Muramasa possesses.
