- Character Personality
Despite his very intimidating appearance, T'Challa is a stern and yet peaceful man of incredible conviction and dedication. He heavily believes in doing good and has a very high standard for morals. While he does not force these views upon his subordinates, he does offer them as sound pieces of advice or words of wisdom. In the eyes of many, he is a strict and harsh teacher, relentless in showing his subordinates "the art of killing". However, he is actually a very calm and reserved mentor when not in training, regarded as one of the wisest of the Captains in his generation. Despite his ways, deep down T'Challa is a lover of battle, and he excels in it. Though he is known for being a very violent fighter, his actions are seemingly well intended, and serve to benefit those around him. He is calm when assessing a situation however, and will try to analyze the battle while getting as much fun from the thrill from a strong opponent as he can. He has shown to be rather peaceful and direct when not in the battlefield, but he seems to carry the same attitude to other who do not know him. One of his most notable personality traits is his lack of compassion and remorse, it doesn't fuel his actions as he thinks of it as a weakness and liability in battle. This seems to stem from his decisive nature. When T'Challa decides something will be done, he will do it without fail, or die in the attempt. Though his views have change a bit on the subject, he use to have a very bleak outlook on the world, seeing the weak as stepping stones for the strong to climb over. He thinks that every weak individual should be crushed until there is nothing left, something the former members of his Division picked up and amplify towards new members of the division. This has change or been modified to so extent, but these tendencies show. His own personal philosophy is that a warrior should never bow to another warrior, as this in itself is weakness. In his eyes, respect, honor, loyalty and strength mean everything in the Shinigami world.

- Bio:
Tragedy of a King: Born in a small village in Africa, T'Challa was the son of a powerful warrior chief. Naturally he followed in his father's footsteps, starting at a very young age around when he was old enough to run and talk, he started his warrior training along side his older brothers with his father. He showed to have the most skill out of the three children, even was said to be a gift from the gods themselves for his blessed battle skills and endurance. In reality T'Challa was able to use his adrenalin glands on command, giving him short moments of superhuman strength by the means of flight or fight. During his teen years T'Challa was well known as the great warrior of his village. He along side his father and two brothers conquered many of the neighboring tribes, bringing fame, fortune, and peace to their own while leaving them with nothing. He father soon passed leaving his youngest son in charge of the village. This however was unheard of, but no one besides his older siblings questioned his judgment on the matter. During his reign as chief T'Challa gathered the tribes he had conquered and tried to set up some sort of peace between the leaders and territories in order to protect their lands from other invaders. This goal took him many years to get started, but through his efforts by the time he was in his late thirties a treaty was made with his manage to the daughter of another tribe leader who's military power rivaled his own. With him now leading the other tribes in the first unified system they were able to further their growth for the better and prosper happily, until one winter's night. On this night while hunting with his oldest brother, T'Challa was poisoned in his sleep the very night before his wedding with hopes of killing him. The attempt on his life failed, but weakened by the toxic coursing through his veins, he had no choice but to flee deep into the jungle as his brother returned to tell the news. Staggering for life, T'Challa struggled to breathe as the last sight to meet his gaze was a large black beast with a white mask.

Kindness from a Stranger: Dazed and confused, T'Challa erupted from what seemed like a long slumber in a strange new world. As he looked around to find himself in the middle of nowhere, and not in his territory anymore, he spotted what looked like to be houses in the distance. As he staggered towards them he was met by two rugged looking men with swords. In his state of mind for his past life he knew he was not fit to fight, but talking to them served no purpose either, the men spoke an entirely different language, without any means of communication the two suddenly attacked T'Challa only to be met with their own death by his hands. He was shocked to find his illness gone and decided to take one of the mens swords with him. With blood stained cloths and a sword drawn, he slowly walked into the village were me was viewed as a murderer by the people. His efforts to talk and understand them once again failed, he was only hearing gibberish and speaking it in return. His intimidating appearance only aided the means for the men of the village to attack him as an attempt to get him to leave, leaving him with the option to try and defend himself without killing, but one or two died that day before he fled the village with minor wounds on his body. Now finding shelter in the forest T'Challa was confronted with another stranger, but this one was different from any other he had meet. Even though T'Challa had his sword at the ready the man seemed to be more interested in communicating, as proof he set his sword away from him, T'Challa did the same seeing as his pride would not let him strike down an unarmed man and returned to his resting position. No matter how much he tried to ignore the man, he insisted on becoming friends day in and day out. Finally, T'Challa accepted his kindness and learned the language spoken in this new world and this man, the only one who would take the time to get to know this stranger in a new land, would become a close friend to T'Challa. The man by the name of Kenshi Hatake.

The Original Thirteen: Once T'Challa fully learned his new language, in a matter of a couple of days since they had nothing but time, he and Kenshi spent many days talking about their different culture and views before they ended up traveling together. Durning their travels Kenshi explained all he could about the new world and gave T'Challa an original zanpakuto and started to show him how to truly use it. This was also the time T'Challa adopted the name Leone, mainly because he was tired of Kenshi mispronouncing his original name all the time, and spoke of their similar goals of unity between their own kind. The two seemed like twins with all they had in common, leading to Kenshi to ask a favor of T'Challa. The favor was for T'Challa to help him by joining his idea of Thirteen powerful bodies that govern and protect the spirit king and his land along with the human world, the second part of the favor was a bit more simple, to help him find more members for his idea. T'Challa laughed at his friend's flawed dream but agreed on one condition, since he owed Kenshi more than he could ever repay, he would have to train with him to reach the level of bankai he once spoke of so he could carry his idea and allow him to adopt his dream as his own. The two friend agreed and set out on their journey to recruit new members. While traveling Kenshi decided to give T'Challa another nickname, since Leone worked so well when comparing him to a lion, and called him Saibankan. When asked why he simply replied because of your since of judgment in character and strong sense of justice, you are like a Judge. T'Challa could only laugh as he decided to give Kenshi a nickname of his own, he simply called him his foolish little brother.

From the Ashes Rises a New Life: Centuries past since the idea of the Thirteen started, now it was realized. Though busy with their own ideas the two still stayed close friends. While Kenshi worked on the school to train future generations, T'Challa was crafting the Central 46, a judiciary authority under the spirit king. While he did hold a seat as the seventh judge, mainly to keep from a stalemate innvirdicts, he still managed to preform as captain of the 13th squad and a direct line of communication and form the division around the idea. T'Challa was soon asked to join the royal guard, but temporally decline on the grounds that he still had a lot of work to do and suggested other captains for the job. The eve of the Ash War he noticed bad omens all around him, when the fighting broke out he was one of the first captains on the battlefield. Though difficult and suffering many wounds, he was able to defeat one of the mysterious enemies and rushed into another battle to allow other shinigami to escape whie he handled the other one. By the time he was done with his second battle he could barely move until he gained his second wind with news of Kenshi. He rushed to see his old friend sacrifice his own life in order to protect both worlds. T'Challa was able to have one last conversation with his old friend and approved of his replacement to carry on his dream. That following day T'Challa retired as a mender of the Thirteen and took up the role as "Judge of the King" in the Royal Court. He never told anyone but he felt responsible for the events that took place, thoughts of "if only I had join right then and there I could have protected the king and stopped everything or reasoned on behalf of Kushina Tsukuda" filled his head as he took up a new vow to protect the king in honor of his and Kenshi's dreams. None of the originals from the Thirteen has seen him since the war, but he still holds rank of head judge of the Central 46. It is rumored that he is also personally training two shinigami while serving under the king.

- Zanpakutō Name: Shango.
- Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: Shango is a large white lion that has electricity flowing though its fur. He is fairly large, about the size of a fully grown man, with an easy going appearance unless disturbed. It is said that he is also the oldest and most powerful lightning based zanpakuto.
- Zanpakutō Sealed Form: T'Challa keeps Shango in a constant state of release for his endurance training to raise stamina. In order to keep its power in check, he simply keeps it sheeted at all times with two restraint seals. The first seal can only be broken when he is fighting a powerful opponent while the second only requires his release command.

- Shikai Status: Mastered.
- Zanpakutō Shikai Activation Statement: "Awaken, and purge your master's enemies in your reign! Raiu Kotei!"
- Zanpakutō Shikai Name: Raiu Kotei. (Lightning Storm Emperor)
- Zanpakutō Shikai Appearance: Raiu Kotei
- Battlefield Changes: The battlefield's air becomes dense and heavy due to the spiritual pressure released by the unsealing. Dark clouds also start to gather due to the ability to alter the weather.
- Zanpakutō Shikai Abilities:
1. Raijū no Dansu (Dance of the Lightning Beast): This is Raiu Kotei's innate ability that clads it in electricity and gives way to his other attacks. This naturally increases the cutting power of the sword along with the speed and power of T'Challa via electricity running through his muscles, though it does causes a strain on his body. This ability is unique do to the fact that T'Challa can have his sword sheeted and still use its abilities to move faster and strengthen his attacks.
2. Amai Shindō (Sweet Vibrations): This attack acts as a stun gun type attack. When attacking T'Challa focuses all of the electricity released from his sword back into the blade, causing it to vibrate at high frequency. This not only allows it to cut through weak barriers but when it make contact with an opponent causes numbness and paralysis. The trick behind this move is that he releases the electricity directly into his targets body, even using their own sword, via a conductor, to do so if he is not able to make direct contact.
3. Yama Sogeki (Mountain Sniper): T'Challa focuses the electricity of Raiu Kotei into the blade before thrusting it towards his target, launching a laser like lighting bolt powerful enough to pierce what it hits. This move can be used in various ways; such as a slash wave to cover a large area, his fingers to shoot a small lightning jolts and when charged it creates a stream of lightning, and finally into his whole forearm to shoot large burst of lightning or increase his punching power if he does not release it.
4. Hageshii Arashi (Violent Storm): This technique coats Raiu Kotei's blade with lightning that increases its length. While like this it takes the properties of a whip and can shock its target on contact and increases its swinging speed allowing easily chained combos.
- Achieved? Of course.



- Zanpakutō Bankai Name: Sozo no Hanma. (Hammer of Creation)
- Zanpakutō Bankai Appearance: After T'Challa twirls his sword above his head he slams it down, causing lightning to strike him and the blade or erupt from the sword if indoors, transforming it into the hammer.
Sozo no Hanma is rather large, with the pole being almost half of T'Challa in height and the entire mallet is grey in colour. The actual weapon itself has several spikes on it's front, giving it the appearance of a meat hammer as well as allowing for immense piercing damage, a spike on the bottom and top of it, like a halberd, to impale opponents, and one at it's back that more curved to tear into the opponent. It also has a shining triquetra in the middle of the hammer that seems to glow brighter when any attacks are used. The mallet is heavy enough that when T'Challa slams it with force it can leave massive craters, but he is known to swing it like a toothpick with one hand.
- Bankai Battlefield Changes: The dark clouds form and follow T'Challa where he goes, lending their natural power for his various attacks if needed.
- Zanpakutō Bankai Abilities:
1. Kaminari Hoīru (Lightning Wheel): Like the name suggest, T'Challa simply spins his hammer swiftly while releasing lightning, forming what looks like a circle. In a instant he stops his motions with a swing and releases a spinning ring of lightning with destructive cutting power. If charged a small twister of lightning is released instead.
2. Gorudosento Kushizashi (Golden Spire Impalement): The triquetra on the hammer glows brightly as T'Challa holds it in front of him. After saying the name of the attack the spikes on the weapon start to glow before creating lighting spikes from them that are launched at the opponent. By spinning and swinging his hammer, T'Challa seems to be able to control the spikes.he is even able to combine them into on large spike to pierce larger targets.
3. Ten no Tama (Heavenly Sphere): The triquetra on the hammer glows brightly as T'Challa spreads his arms out straight as several small lightning spheres circle around him in an 'X' motion. The spheres have two purposes, one being to defend from close combat by exploding on contact, and three being launched when struck my the hammer. If this ability is charged, fewer spheres will appear, but they will be larger. The third way this attack is used is in combat to shoot lightning. T'Challa can arrange them to surround his opponent and cause a chain reaction to connect them using a lightning based beam attack. The trick it trapping the target in a fashion that allows the same beam to strike them multiple times.
4. Jigoku no Oriru (Descend to Hell): The triquetra on the hammer glows brightly as T'Challa holds the hammer above his head like a sword. This is T'Challa's most powerful and devastating attack. When used lightning strikes the hammer, cladding it and him with a powerful black lightning, causing a huge strain on his body restricting this to only be used twice in a fight. While in this state when he swings his hammer, even if it misses, launches a second attack via lightning blast of the same black lightning. This attack is meant to be a last resort since it increases his speed and attack ten fold.
- Zanpakutō Bankai Time Able to Hold: Seemingly unlimited due to the fact he often fight through the pain if over used, but he knows his limits.
- Achieved? Naturally it is.
