─Zanpakuto Information {Shikai}─

Name: Higashinishiminamikita 东 西 南 北 (Four Compass Directions)

Incantation: Watashi ni pasu o hyōji 私 に パ ス を 表 示 (Show Me the Way)

Appearance: Shikai Blade

Zanpakuto Special Ability:

Special Techniques:

Kita 北 (North) : This is a passive ability and is active the moment the Shikai is activated, the user can pass through inanimate objects at will, I.e. Walls, Floors, Trees, etc. however he CAN NOT pass through zanpakuto or other spiritual items or attacks.

Azuma 東 (East) : By focusing his reiatsu he can collect moisture from the atmosphere and coat his blade with a thin membrane of water that circles the blade at extremely high speeds, this augments it's cutting capabilities greatly and if desired more water can be collected and fired as a mid- long range projectile that takes the form of a dragon, this technique can be used anywhere as the water it uses is from the atmosphere but it can become more powerful in places of large concentrations of water, this technique can be controlled for 2 posts after being fired. There is a 4 post cool down between this technique and Minami

Minami 南 (South) : By focusing reiatsu on the blade the latter can be super heated in a matter of instants, this grants in increase in cutting power as well as inflicting more pain upon victims, the heat can be concentrated on any part of the blade and may also set the blade ablaze, this technique may also be used as a mid-long range technique fired by pointing the blade at the target, all of the heat and flames are sent forward in the form of a Burning Phoenix, this attack may be controlled for 2 posts after being fired by hand motions. There is a 4 post cool down between this technique and Azuma.

Nishi 西 (West) : This is a passive ability, the user's sight is increased exponentially and is able to grant the user a slower attack speed which allows him to dodge or counter attacks with more precision.




─Zanpakuto Information {Bankai}─

Bankai Name: Shishin 四 神 Four Heavenly Beasts, Guardians of the Four Compass Directions

Bankai Incantation: Since the blade has different forms the incantation refers to the form desired for use, the Incantation would thus be used for choosing which of the blades to use

Character's Appearence {While Bankai is Active}: Iori's appearence drastically changes while his bankai is active, his attire turns into a Draconic Armor

Zanpakuto Appearance {While Bankai is Active}: Shishin has 4 different blades to chose from while in the bankai, all with it's each unique abilities, He must chose the blade before hand and activate it by saying Bankai and the name of the desired blade, his bankai can only be used once a day, so he must do his best to use the correct blade.
Special Abilities: Each Blade Grants power over the element it rules, the elements being Water (East), Wind (West), Fire (South) and Earth (North)

Special Techniques:

Sword Name: Seiryū no Higashi 東アジアの東方青龍 (Azure Dragon of the East )

Attacks:
Tsuno no Seiryū 紺 碧 の 竜 の 角 (Horn of the Azure Dragon): The user focuses water onto the tip of the trident like weapon the water flows evenly along the whole weapon and is sent forward when willed by the user in a mighty thrust of piercing power, the technique takes the form of a conical spear of extremely fast moving water, it has enough power to pierce through rock and can be fired as a projectile or used as an extension of the actual weapon.

Shippo Tsutsuku no Seiryū 紺 碧 の 竜 の 尾 の ス ト ラ イ キ (Tail Strike of the Azure Dragon): The user spins the trident like weapon while water becomes visible forming the outline of a circle over the user, when ready the rotation is stopped and the weapon swung in the direction chosen by the user, a solid funnel of water is sent forward following the motion of the weapon, it has enough crushing power to level buildings.

Hajimari no Seiryū 紺 碧 の ド ラ ゴ ン の 起 源 (Origin of the Azure Dragon): By pointing the lower end of the trident like weapon at the opponent the user can fire an extremely high pressure and high velocity beam of water, this water jet can cut cleanly through layers of stone with ease and can move through space at speeds of up to 100 mph, the one downside to the technique is that by concentrating so much into firing such a fine beam the user cant lock on to moving targets, so for greater success the user may focus water and bait the opponent into close quarters to unleash the beam from there, the beam itself has a range of 50 feet of optimum piercing power, anything more than that and the beam will be unable to pierce whatever it's aimed at.

Sword Name Suzaku no Minami 南 の 朱 色 の 鳥 (Vermilion Bird of the South )

Attacks:

Shinku Hoshi no Minami 南 の 緋 色 星 (Scarlet Star of the South): A small orb of burning energy and heat is released from the tip of the blade which goes forward at high speeds, it dries any moisture in it's path and shines just like a shooting star as it moves through the sky, this move can shatter small rocks and leave 3rd degree burns.

Suzaku no Tsubasa 朱 雀 の 翼 (Wings of the Suzaku): The user focuses the energy on the edge of the blade and lets loose a wave of fire that turns into a tornado of pure fire, the temperature inside the funnel can reach temperatures of 300 C, anything caught unprotected in it's wake is sure to be torched, however the technique cant be sustained for long, it only lasts 1 post and a 3 post cool down.

Suzaku no Yuurei 朱 雀 の 亡 霊 (Ghosts of Suzaku): By focusing all the heat from the surroundings onto the blade and some reiatsu the user can fire Phoenix like creatures from the blade, these creatures explode on contact reaching temperatures of 200 C, these creatures can be controlled by hand gestures and detonated remotely by the user, if detonated remotely the temperature of the attack is considerable less (About 200 F). This technique can only be used 2 times, if used a third the user reverts back to shikai and can not use bankai for the remainder of the day.

Sword Name
Nishi no Byakko 西 の 白 虎 (White Tiger of the West )

Attacks:

Kokuoo no Kemono 百 獣 の 王 (King of Beasts): By concentrating reiatsu and wind onto his body the user builds up staggering amounts of power and releases all of it at once in what can be described as a singular roar of power, the attack takes form of wind and reiatsu blades that spread out in all directions like a shockwave, the blades have the power to cut through stone. This technique has a 3 post cool down and can only be used 2 times, if used a third the user reverts back to shikai and can not use bankai for the remainder of the day.

Kizuna no Konran Jootai ア ナ ー キ ー の 絆 (Bonds of Anarchy): The user commands the winds to gather at his blade, this in turn increases the cutting capabilities and extends the blade another 2 feet, the sheer amount of energy released by swinging the blade at full power is enough to tear clean through the earth and leave large cuts deep into the ground which suggest that if one is cut directly by the attack one would surely loose a limb. 5 post cool down, Max 2 per day.

Kokudo no Byakko 白 虎 の ド メ イ ン (Realm of the White Tiger): This is a passive ability, the technique grants an increase in speed, strength and cutting power by converging winds around the user for a period of 10 posts, the increase is of about 30% and after the time limit the user reverts back to sealed state and can not use shikai or bankai for the remainder of the fight.

Sword Name
Kita no Genbu 黑 龟 的 北 (Black Tortoise of the North )

Attacks

Kita no Kara 北 部 空 虚 (The Northern Emptiness): By slamming the hammer into the earth the user can make a pillar of rock rise about 5 feet then the user smacks the risen mount and sends it forward as a high speed projectile, the technique has no real killing power but blunt force instead, a direct hit might be able to break a few bones..

Kuro no kyūden no kabe 黒 の 宮 殿 の 壁 (Walls of the Black Palace): By stomping on the ground the user erects four walls and subsequently a roof of rock and earth to entrap the victim, If successful the user then slams the hammer against the earth and creates spears of stone within the structure with the intent to pierce the victim from every possible angle. The walls may be broken by a strong enough force or with kido above 50.

Itadaki no Kuro ブ ラ ッ ク サ ミ ッ ト (The Black Summit): The user focuses enormous amounts of reiatsu into one strike of earth shattering power, the hammer grows in size as it collects small stones and dust particles, when the reiatsu has reached it's peak the hammer is swung, the strike itself packs enough power to shatter bones and create painful injury, the technique may only be used 1 time and after using it the user reverts back to shikai and is unable to use bankai for 2 days.

Are you planning to RP his joining a squad, or just have him be a member already? Cuz' if it's the second, you could always have him be the surviving lieutenant of Squad 8. While the squad is more or less trashed now, it is the squad in charge of middle level organization among the squads and also responsible for the Seireitei Archives. It seems somewhat appropriate considering this guy's history as a record keeper.

Alright, Not gonna lie here. I don't really like this character, but I'll do my best nevertheless.

x Firstly, A visored will not be allowed to be a member of the Gotei Thirteen, even if they hide it. You may want to either change completely to a Shinigami, or join some sort of Visored faction.

x You have four characters already, including this one. You aren't very active with a few of them to my knowledge, so I don't think we should put ANOTHER one on top. To add effect to this, all of you characters are at the upper end of the power spectrum, and we would like to keep some of these positions open. For that reason, I ask you to either give up on this character, or decrease his powers, in all fields, accordingly.

x Thirdly, No matter how I see it, there is no big reason for your characters age to be so huge. You may be captain class, but most characters of that age are either special cases, or show their age as such. I suggest lowering this dramatically, to much below one thousand.

x I want to make a general statement about the zanpakuto blade. You control all four classical elements. This naturally decreases the strength in each field, as the time to train in each is reduced. However, your Zanpakuto boasts incredible power. You would need to reduce the general strength present in each elemental form, for it to be considered fair. Savvy?

x You have no real issues with the shikai techniques. However, there are a few issues with your Bankai techniques and abilities. The first of which is easy. Instead of being able to change the blade forms in combat, I suggest you have the ability to use a single form per Bankai use. This would also include the rule that once bankai is used, you wouldn't be able to use bankai again for x amount of time, making you have to somewhat strategic when it comes to bankai choice.

x As noted, all four areas within your bankai need a drastic decrease in power. Just for a rough note, ranges need to be decreased, the heat created from your Vermillion Bird form need to be decreased DRASTICALLY, And the White Tiger form's technique, Realm of the White Tiger, needs to be decreased in power as well as it's ability to deteriorate the senses.

x I don't like the Hantei Daraku Shita Tenshi technique, whatsoever. It's power is much to high. By placing the restriction on it, it makes the technique seem even more high powered than it truly is. Overall, I ask you to delete this technique.

x With my asking you to decrease your character's power, you will also need to do slight editing to your character's Skills Information block.

Sasori00923

X I would like him to remain a shinigami, but if the visored shinigami won't do then i guess that it will have to go, (Though in the anime and manga Shinji Hirako, Kensei Muguruma and Rojuro Otoribashi, are all made captains after the fight against Aizen, even given their visored status.)


Yes, I understand that Shinji, Rose, and Kensei are all a part of the Gotei in canon. the thing is, this isn't the canon. What may be alright there won't be here. In this guild, we are making it so that there will be no Visored a part of the Gotei Thirteen.

Sasori00923

X Yes I have four characters, 1 Kembutsu Visored, which isn't active because the visored in this guild are either nonexistent or i have simply never ever seen them. 1 Quincy which was put to use as soon as approved is currently waiting on Rei to continue in his plot; And 1 Elemental which is currently with Alannaa completing something for the plot I believe, So activity has never been an issue with me. The power spectrum, taking a look at my other characters I can see what you mean, so I'll give you that one.


The point I was trying to make is that all of your characters are high powered, and you are not the most active patron of our fine guild. It would be troublesome if you stoped roleplaying all together.

Sasori00923

X The age of my character is based upon his bio, the only way I could make his abilities and power justifiable was by aging him, it makes no sense for someone 200 of years mastering such a diverse bankai, though the age is no real issue, I could just change the pic and be done with it but nonetheless I guess I'll have to give you that one as well.

X Though I will lower the power, this is what the age granted me to do so. His given age is 2300 years and by the time he graduated and was appointed lieutenant this would leave approximately 2200 years of life to train which as it stands is 550 years for each element, the bankai is said to require a minimum of 10 years; Case in point? Given his age the power scale seems pretty justifiable, EXCEPT on the Vermilion Bird form, this forms power will be reduced accordingly.


Ahh, so you made his age HUGE in order to have this massive amount of power. Let me explain why this is such a bother to me.
- That means you willingly created a character of huge power, and the only reason you can give him for being so powerful is his age.
- Your character is older than half of the characters here. It was assumed Yamamoto was in between 1,000 years of age, and 2,000. That sort of age is only found in Leader types, and rare exceptions. I don't like that.

So for that reason, I'm going to have you decrease the age to below 700 years of age.

Explaining is still needed.
- Even with the age, you still don't instantly master an element for training with it so much. No matter how you look at it, you have to train with each form of the bankai, to master it's different type, different style, and overall, the DISTINCTLY different power as a whole. Let me quote the Wikia here. It says a person would need 10 years to achieve AND master it. From this, we can assume the mastering process is relevant to the differing powers of the blade. Example being that a straight melee type zanpakuto would be much easier to master than any elemental type.

Let's do some Hypothetical math here, to help you really gain an understanding.

Your History says your character was ' eventually found. ' For simple purposes, we can say that it took approx. 50 years to do so, since you are in Zaraki. Also, citing you here, you were a vice captain for one hundred years.
Since I asked you to lower your age below 700 years, that would give you a maximum of 550 years to maintain your abilities.
ALSO, right after gaining shikai, you wouldn't immediately be able to achieve bankai. It's just how training goes, and how your zanpakuto gauges if you are ready or not. You graduated in one year, and trined as a tutor for another ten. So your age with bankai training is now closer to 540.
You also say that you spent three hundred years as a record keeper. Since you are decreasing your age, we can easily say that time is decreased as well. Let's make that 100 years or so, so you are down to 450 years of possible bankai training. Just the same, Zanpakuto don't really take well to being ignored. So we can just take away some more time for re-training, pushing you down to 425 as a POSSIBLE maximum.

Alright, now to the real stuff. Since it would be harder to achive bankai with such power ( a zanpakuto knows when it's master's power can control it's power ), let's say to even achive bankai, you needed that 25 years, pushing you down to four hundred. That leaves your character 100 years for EACH form of the bankai, which may or may not have been available from the zanpakuto at the time of release.

Alright. Let's say that to master the AVERAGE zanpakuto, taking in both melee and non-melee types, a person would need 50 years. For example, Hitsugaya is not yet done with his training STILL, and he's of captain-class. Then we take into account that you have to work ALL forms, maintain power in all forms, while simultaneously trying to gain new forms and train with said forms. We can say that requires a multiple of four, since there are multiple forms.
As noted, you would need approx. 200 years at best to master a single form of your bankai, while still learning others. 200 times another multiple of four, and that gets you, AT BEST, 800 years required.

That's almost double of what you have available.

So as it stands, your Bankai is still not only mastered, but you should still be training in at least two of the four forms.

This is what I've learned in my years of roleplaying. One of the most prevalent rules is simple. If you have multiple elements, it will be harder for you to learn. Your fire techniques will not be as powerful as a person whose sole power is fire. That's common sense, and it even makes sense to my 65 year old grandmother.

I'm not sorry.

--

Now, we are at a breaking point. Should I allow you to have all of your things trained, or should I have you seal two of your forms away until due training can be given.

I think we can both agree you would take a drastic decrease in power, like I noted beforehand, as compared to sealing half of your power away entirely.

Overall, this was to prove why a character CAN NOT have such huge amount of power when the power is so diverse. It's lie trying to write a research paper on a wide-open topic. It simply can't be done.

You will either decrease the power to the point of actually being Vice-captain level, or we can seal some of your stuff away.

Sasori00923

X The blade changing I will grant you, though there is no one with said limitations and similar abilities I am the only one to actually specify what how and why my zanpakuto changes, but nonetheless I guess I can make it as you want.

we've come to an accord then.
Sasori00923

X Again, the Vermilion Bird's power will be decreased (Mainly because I recently noted how ridiculously absurd the amount of flame power I put into it); The Realm of the White Tiger, I will change this because it's out of place and mainly because it's a form of god-modding. On the upside, the range of my techniques is being specified, thing which few other's do, my ranges are in feet not meters which is fairly small given the world of fictional characters that is bleach.

Whoever, bro. Just because some people don't do it means nothing. A cero length is never really given.

Done with initial edit, if anything else should be changed let me know, also, I just had an idea for him, the position I don't really care what you give him, but I would like him to be an apprentice, someone that could possibly see the potential in him and be interested in teaching him to better himself. I'll tell you what I'm planing later though.
