Personality: Auron is the strong silent type. He speaks only if necessary. He appears as a strict, no-nonsense warrior with a dry wit. He prefers to work on his own agenda, but will follows orders from those he holds in high regard, which is a short list. As a Shinigami, Auron devotes his life to protecting those in need, putting the matters of others before his own, and is unconcerned with his own well-being. However, beneath the silence, Auron is still outraged and disgusted over the events that have transcended across all of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World, and still mourns the loss of his friends and allies. Auron has little to no respect for the hierarchy or anyone who appears to be in charge of him until they earn it, showing no regard for them. As a fighter, Auron is very unbiased when it comes to his enemies. He shows the same degree of ruthless to his foes - regardless of age or gender, often making good on threats he's made. By contrast, he shows a surprising degree of sincerity, warmth, and protectiveness when around women, as he has a very protective nature. He also respects those with power or accomplishments greater than his as they have earned it and he believes that is all that matters

In Life: Auron was born on June 23rd, 1594 in a small town located on the island of Kyushu to his parents, William O'Sheridan and Hosokawa Tomoe. Hi father was a lowly merchant vessel cabin boy on a British Trade Mission frigate sailing from Holland with the minister of finance for the region of Edo. While making their way through the sea of Japan their ship was taken up by a kamikaze and the crew was swept away by the waves. William then washed up ashore and was taken in by the lord of the region eventually becoming his economic adviser and later marrying his niece, Hosokawa Tomoe.

Auron was raised as a hard worker and a successful farmer as a child, but like all children had delusions of grandeur and wanted desperately to become like every child’s hero Musashi Miyamoto. He wanted desperately to become a great warrior and turned to learning the ways of the sword rather than the ebb and flow of economics and the subtle dance of politics, though without an instructor he was just playing warrior rather than training. One day Auron got his chance he was sixteen now and his dream was as strong as ever. He caught news that Musashi was making his way to Kyushu to train the local lord for whom his father worked. No one was going to stop Auron so his father agreed to take him to their lord’s castle. As rash and foolish as a young man could be Auron burst into the room and made his vow known that he would train under Musashi to twelve drawn swords, thirteen pulled arrows and a very upset lord of the land. Auron was arrested and put on trial. Having no fear in the face of a death sentence, Auron impressed Musashi and so the legendary swordsman took his first disciple.

For five years Musashi trained Auron ruthlessly and he learned all the more. The year was 1614; Musashi and Auron participated in the war between the Toyotomi and the Tokugawa. The war had broken out because Tokugawa Ieyasu saw the Toyotomi family as a threat to his rule of Japan. As in the previous wars, Musashi fought on the side of the Toyotomi, and his disciple Auron followed suit. Osaka Castle was the central place of battle. The first battle, winter in Osaka, ended in a truce. The second, summer in Osaka, resulted in the total defeat of Toyotomi Hideyori's Army of the West by Ieyasu's Army of the East in May 1615. The beginning of the battle showed no other outcome but the defeat of the Tokugawa, that is until Musashi struck out against Sakon Shima a leading officer of the Toyotomi's army. He had switched sides and started killing his own men left and right until his blade crossed with that of Auron’s. A duel broke out and Auron’s blade swung vengeance and pain at the betrayal of his master, feeling his master had broken the sacred code of the warrior. The duel had only just started then was silenced sweetly by Musashi's own sword piercing Auron's heart.

After Death: Auron awoke in a desolate world. He looked around in sleepy daze and all he saw was sand and dust. Feeling fear and a pulse of energy course through his body he shot up and ran at full speed, and he ran until he passed out. Again he awoke, but this time to a warm room. Rubbing his eyes he took a look around the room and saw he was in a small one room shack and could hear running water, though it was coming from outside. After a minute alone a women stepped through the straw curtain covering the entrance to small home. She simply introduced herself as Jade. She told him where she had found him, how he had come to be with her and what happened to him explaining to him that he was dead but another life began in Soul Society. A few months went by and Auron grew happy with Jade. He worked and eventually moved her closer to Seireitei now living just down from the White Way Gate of the west, when Jade came ill. Quickly calling a physician Auron was told as a child she was diagnosed with an untreatable form of organ failure and Auron's strong reiatsu was only advancing her condition. With a solemn nod and heavy heart he spoke with Jade. He was returned in kind with a soft hand and soothing words. She knew why she had become ill and told him this was his path, to enlist in the Shiho Academy and become a Shinigami.

─Zanpakuto Information {Sealed}─

Zanpakuto Name: Toboei Hakumei
Zanpakuto Appearance: Toboei Hakumei in his sealed form takes the appearance of a simple zetsurin style katana. with an overall Length of 60", the single edged blade is 43". The steel blade holds a blood groove that runs the full length of the blade on either side. The handle, measuring 16.5", is made of pure ebony, wrapped with white cord for a firm grip.
Zanpakuto Spirit: Toboei Hakumei takes the shape of a black wolf with strange silvery marking running the length of his body. He has odd armor, but carries it well.
Inner World: Toboei Hakumei's inner world is dark and misty like the hills of Japan, but in a perpetual state of twilight.
Basic Zanpakuto Attacks/Powers: None

─Zanpakuto Information {Shikai}─

Shikai Incantation: The sun sets Toboei, Twilight is near, HAKUMEI!!
Shikai Appearance: Auron's swords undergoes a drastic change in appearance extending in length and taking on a dark guard circular hand guard XX. The small throwing dagger becomes a three pronged claw attached to the top of his left hand XX. A chain extending from the pummel of the hilt of his sword wraps around his right arm, leading across his shoulders only to wrap around his left arm and attach to the small claw.
Shikai Abilities: Greatly increased speed, agility, strength and endurance. Takes on characteristics of a wolf, pointed ears, fangs, natural claws glowing eyes, heightened sense of sight, smell, and sound. A smokey haze spreads out from Auron's feet for about ten feet slightly distorting all reiryoku and reiatsu sensing techniques. Auron is also able to lash out with his claw and even the chain using them as ranged weapons and even manipulate his sword in unique and unconventional ways.
Shikai Techniques:
Hauringu Inmetsu (Lit. Howling Destruction): A powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large-scale damage and destruction. At the instant of the slash, Toboei Hakumei absorbs and condenses Auron's reiatsu before releasing it at the tip of the blade, magnifying the slash attack, which flies forward. The only draw back is that Auron is unable to directionalize the attack as it will only flow in a straight line. This slash takes the form of a wolf head with open jaws or in the shape of a wolf's claw. Upon making contact with the intended target, Hauringu Inmetsu causes slashing damage ripping at the target causing either several cuts to form if struck by the wolf head or one large gash from the wolf claw. Depending on the power level difference of Auron and his opponent this attack has the potential of severing limbs. This technique can be used in several different manners, such as striking the ground to create an omnidirectional blast to knock away incoming attacks, such as low level hado, cero or even other zanpakuto techniques from those who are of significant lower power level than Auron. Or slashing at the ground to upturn it and crush everything in its path up to twenty feet. Auron is capable of using this technique with either his sword or his claw. Due to the toll this technique has on Auron's body overtime in combat, Auron is only capable of firing 5 Hauringu Inmetsu in rapid succession (i.e. per post) without draining him completely, but he only has the reserves to fire 20 in any one combat scenario before he needs to rest. (4 post cool down)

Kurai Kiba (Lit. Dark Fang): Auron gathers and condenses his reiatsu at the point of the middle claw on his left hand. He then grips the hilt of his blade and plunges his sword into the ground. This causes a surge of energy to rush through his sword and send up black spikes from the ground all around Auron for about three feet. The spikes are five feet tall and have the capability of impaling anything caught in their path. This technique is defensive in nature and has a limited range. The shear force of this technique is enough to bring even Auron himself to his knees just with the use. It is clear he has yet to fully realize this techniques full potential and is only able to use it twice in any given combat scenario and must wait a short period of time before being able to use it a second time in combat. (5 post cool down between uses)

─Zanpakuto Information {Bankai}─

Bankai Name: Gekido Toboei Hakumei
Bankai Incantation: No incantation is needed for Auron to release his bankai. Auron holds his sword horizontally infront of him and crosses his claw over the blade causing spark to erupt and in a wave of pure reiryoku Auron transforms to his bankai state.
Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance {While Bankai is Active}: The spirit of Auron's zanpakuto, Toboei Hakumei, does not manifest
Bankai Appearance: Aurons sword becomes a nodachi taller than himself that he is able to wield with one hand. Along with his sword change the claw atop his left hand then forms an armored gauntlet spanning his entire left arm and shoulder, along with adding a razor sharp blade attached to a bracer on his right arm.
Bankai Abilities: Hyper-speed Combat, Immense Strength, Immense increase in Endurance
Field Changes: he smokey haze becomes a dense black fog spanning the battle arena around Auron for a 200 foot radius, obscuring all light and nullifying the sense of sight and rendering all reiatsu, reiryoku detection techniques useless giving Auron the advantage with his heightened sense of smell and sound. Auron is also able to utilize the black fog created by his bankai for his more powerful attacks, but upon using one of these technique the the fog reduces by 50 feet. Once Auron has utilized one of the techniques in any combination four times, the fog will dissipate completely and the nullifying effects to the sense of sight and reiatsu and reiryoku detection techniques will fade as well, allowing his opponent full use of these senses and abilities.
Bankai Techniques:
Gekido Hauringu Inmetsu (Lit. Ravaging Howling Destruction):Virtually the same as Haruingu Inmetsu, Gekido only offers these potent blasts to be controlled and explosively augmented power and speed. A powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large-scale damage and destruction. At the instant of the slash, Toboei Hakumei absorbs and condenses Auron's reiatsu before releasing it at the tip of the blade, magnifying the slash attack, which flies forward. This slash takes the form of a wolf head with open jaws or in the shape of a wolf's claw. Upon making contact with the intended target, Hauringu Inmetsu causes catastrophic slashing damage ripping at the target opening up several cuts if struck by the wolf head or one large, body spanning gash from the wolf claw with a direct attack being able sever limbs. This technique can be used in several different manners, such as striking the ground to create an omnidirectional blast to knock away incoming attacks such as most hado, most forms of cero, other zanpakuto techniques and even most bakudo. Auron is also able to slash at the ground to upturn it and crush everything in its path up to one hundred feet in front of him in a "V". Auron is capable of using this technique with either his sword or his claw. Due to the toll this technique has on Auron's body overtime in combat, Auron is only capable of firing 10 Gekido Hauringu Inmetsu in rapid succession (i.e. per post) without draining him completely, but he only has the reserves to fire 40 in any one combat scenario before he needs to rest. (4 post cool down)

Gekido Kurai Kiba (Lit. Ravaging Dark Fang):Like in his Shikai, Auron gathers and condenses his reiatsu at the point of the middle claw on his left hand. He then grips the hilt of his blade and plunges his sword into the ground. This causes a surge of energy to rush through the chain linking his claw and sword sending up black spikes from the ground all around Auron. The Gekido version allows Auron to bring up these spikes within a 50 foot radius of where he is standing. The spikes are ten feet tall and have the capability of impaling anything caught in their path. The black spires also form a pyramid around Auron creating a protective barrier than can block virtually any assault. Auron has enough power to unleash this technique eight times in one combat scenario. However he is only capable of using this technique twice before having to wait a short period of time to use it an additional time in combat. (2 uses before the 3 post cool down between uses)

Sen no Ookami Tsume Sutoraiku (Lit. Wolf's Thousand Tail Strike): Using his powerful reiryoku, Auron can transform and solidify the dense, black fog surrounding the battlefield into dark spines and then swing his Zanpakuto in an arc firing an array of claw shaped daggers at his target to shred his opponents at a distance and break through almost any defense. Auron is able to use this technique only as long as the fog, created by his bankai, is not fully consumed.

Ookami Kiji (Lit. Wolf's Shroud): Utilizing his reiryoku, Auron is able to pull the black fog, created by his bankai, to him coating him in a translucent, shroud of black and grey energy. This is Auron's most powerful technique. His pupils become slitted, whiskers seem to form across his cheeks and his eyes take on a ominous yellow glow like a wolf's. The shrouds shape alters to form wolf like feature such as ears, a tail and outlines his right arm with claws. It is in this final form Auron's and Toboei Hakumei's souls are fully synchronized and Toboei Hakumei lends his power fully to Auron, amplifying Auron's own abilities ten fold allowing him to fight on par with someone greater than Auron himself. This shroud has the ability to absorb incoming attacks, protecting Auron from harm but with a limit to how much it can take before shattering (i.e. Three strong attacks from an opponent of captain level or higher). This technique utilizes the black fog created by Auron's bankai and is subject to the limits of use as described above.

Auron holds his hands above the patient's wounds, his palms glow with green spiritual energy to facilitate healing.

Yes, we apologize for the wait. For future reference, however, the only mods quoted for approval are myself, Ash, Eren, Heart, and Sworday.

Now... I'm going to start with the one big issue: None of us are really okay with an unseated Shinigami having a Bankai o.o;

There are available Captain's spots, you know. 8 and 10, I think are it actually.
If you'd like, we can discuss it more in private?

Well we have plenty of Lieutenant's ranks available as well. I just, the character is obviously geared to a high seat: which is fine, really. I just... it seems disproportionate to give someone who is unseated that level of power is all...

I like the abilities, as a whole. They seem quite versatile and well rounded and I like to see that in profiles ^^

For Shunko, if he were to be able to have it, we'd need more detail in his skill with it, how it behaves in his use of it, what it looks like when he manifests it, that sort of thing.

Also, what squad would he be in?

No, no, no feathers are being ruffled XD
I'm saying that ranks are available, and we'd love to have them filled XD

I have edited my profile to better reflect the power level of a Lieutenant of squad 9. Having adept ability in most Hakuda arts, leaving out shunko, the ability to preform some high level Bakudo if needed and I have also limited some technique to specifically target hollow only.

Also I feel having four High physical attributes, 3 Above Average attributes, 1 average attribute and 1 low attribute should be sufficient for my character given his overall structure, combat style, training and personality.

Also I made a slight modification to my Shikai attacks, nothing to drastic just some word play to make it more appealing to read.

I am currently tweaking my bankai as I feel it needs it so I do not plan on having access to my bankai any time soon.

I keep forgetting to quote them sweatdrop but am I good to start posting?

1 approval down 2 to go

I have limited the shots/uses of my shikai techniques and set cool downs after reaching those limits, although again I wasn't quit sure what you were looking for.

I am also still unclear as to how much more of a description you would like and on what powers.
