Bleach 1v1. Me and Pisces

[yoshua171]

C'mon pisces.

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"][B]Name: Seionyou(Serene Calamity), Naratsu. [Last, First]
Age: 2500.
Gender: Male.
Race: Shinigami.
Rank: Captain Commander.

Personality: A calm presence in any situation Naratsu is the holder of reason and logic in soul society. He is fluid like water in the way he does things and allows only the strongest and most meaningful of things effect him. He shares his calm friendliness with the whole of soul society and unlike former captain commanders he does not stay cooped up in his division all the time.

Naratsu likes to be around people and tends to visit the other divisions often, he even in fact visits the captains who don't want to be visited though less then the others. He has a quiet sense of humor and tends to only lightly laugh at jokes rather then tell them himself.

In times of strife and trouble he is serious and acts as an immovable and dependable force like a mountain. When necessary he will display his true power but tends to keep most of it under wraps for the good of both himself and all.

When it comes to enemies of soul society he does not immediately regard them as such. He will only hate another if they have done great wrong to his subordinates which in his mind is the entirety of soul society. If you harm someone close to him be ready to face a cold wrath of which you've never seen.

Now as calm as he seems on the outside such is not true within. He is filled with turmoil from his tumultuous past. He dislikes speaking of it for it only brings him pain and sadness. He tries to focus less on himself and more on others and loves to help. He does not despise battle and will have a good spar every so often. when it comes to life or death though he will fight to protect at all costs.

History: Other then him being trained by Aaron, Flamberge it is unknown what he has gone through. He does however hate to speak of his past and if it is brought up he usually tries to avoid the subject. However it is apparent that something of great emotional and possibly physical pain occurred to him in his past.

History:

Strengths: He relies primarily on his zanpakuto and its swordsmanship as his primary use of power. Additionally his speed and strength are his secondary and act as a plus to his swordsmanship. As is seen his best skill is of course in his zanpakuto for he has complete mastery of it.

Weaknesses: He is weak in kido and as such is fairly weak against it, his skills in pure reiatsu manipulation are not very note worthy so as such he cannot redirect kido without the use of his blade. Additionally he is okay at hand to hand but its not particularly his favorite thing to use.

Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: Violent, his sword spirit is a violent scheming thing and its temper does not get better through its forms. Rather its temper gets much worse as its forms progress.

When in the form of a girl it is seductive but moody and easily angered if it doesn't get what it wants.

When in the form of a white snake aka its bankai stage it is tricky tending to fool those in its inner world into its jaws where it can bite down and eat them. As such Naratsu has done very well to not get his mind eaten by the serpent. He tends to act kind and helpful but is in reality vicious, deceitful and generally ill tempered.

Sealed Zanpakuto:

Name: Mujitsu no tsumibito(Innocent siner)
Release Command and Action: No light is strong enough to shine through the darkness of the human soul. As such, let your sins guide you back to the light...

He slowly begins drawing his katana from its white sheath "No light is strong enough to shine through the darkness of the human soul." The tip of the blade exits the sheath and he holds the blade vertically and forwards away from his body. He slowly moves the sheath closer to the bottom of the blades grip as if to make a right facing L shape "As such, let your sins guide you back to the light..." a light shines from his blade and it begins to turn black. "Mujitsu no Tsumibito(Innocent Sinner)."

Abilities: His shikai shows a persons sins before them like curses weighing them down. The more sins the opponent/opponents have committed in their life time the heavier their soul becomes. Both spiritual and former lives are counted (meaning if and when they were human) and as such the weight can be immense. One would think that this only weighs on the mind but because of this it ends up weighing on the body in ways as well.

Slowly the body begins to be effected by the sins it has committed clouding the mind, the senses and eventually slowing perception and speed. It acts almost akin to a poison, however if the body and mind of those effected is strong enough it can banish away the effects. Once the effects are banished they will feel lighter and actually gain a slight boost in abilities, such is one of his greatest weaknesses. Additionally beings who have retained their innocence or most of it are unaffected by his abilities.

The only other ability for his shikai is the use of what Naratsu calls "Bloody Chains." These chains are formed from the blood that is on his blade and act as reiatsu for that's what the blood is. The chains can be manipulated to attack or restrain. If restrained by them the effects of his zanpakuto become much much stronger.

Name: Ikusen Zaiaku no Kin'iro no Hebi(Thousand sins of the Gilded Serpent)
Release Command: Let your sins out from your body and mind. You will find that the greatest sin is not letting go. However...all sins have consequences, now meet yours. Form from the darkness of their soul,
Control: Mastered.
Weapon Appearance:

Physical Appearance:

Description: His arms are also wrapped in the bloody chains from his shikai and he can manipulate these freely.

Abilities: Naratsu's bankai manifests all the sins that his opponent/opponents have ever committed into a single entity aka his sword spirit. As seen from his release a huge serpent will erupt from the opponent/opponents chest. The more opponents the more snakes will be on the field. Each snake is a varying size depending on how many sins the individuals have committed in their lives. However the snake is always the same color and is always a match for the person it manifests from.

The serpent is usually however humongous and completely white except for its eyes which are a piercing evil red. If his opponent has committed no sins or is exceedingly innocent the snake will not manifest and the full form of his sword cannot be released. Now there is one incredibly unique thing about his bankai and that is the fact that it does not use Naratsu's reiatsu to fuel itself. Instead it is fueled by the sins from the enemies lives for the sins are in essence a fragment of the opponents reiatsu mixed with the blood from Naratsu's blade. So instead of Naratsu taking the toll for the length he has his bankai active, the opponents do by slowly being drained of their reiatsu which is given to the serpents which further increases the power.

The serpents manifested from his bankai are all called by the same name 'Owari no nai(Final Sin)'. The strain that his bankai does however imply on him is mental strain for he must hold back the collective sin of every opponent on the field. If he fails to hold the sin back the snakes will instead turn on him and devour him instead.

[Pisces]

Genger: Male
Age: 451 (appears late 20's)
Race: Shinigami
Rank: Captain
Gender: Male
History: He started off in an upper district for a hundred years or so. Once Akimoto was finally summoned to the Academy he resisted much of the combat training and mostly anything offensive although slowly grew to accept the fact that it must be learned to be stopped. He took on a focus of hand-to-hand and sword combat, mostly defensive. There was also a focus on strategy. He has a deep but complicated relationship with his Zanpakuto.
Appearance:

Spoiler

Stands 5'10", a normal height, and weighs 182 lbs. His stance is strong and stoic though he can be seen trying to down-play this. Wears usual Captain's garbs but sleeveless and shoe-less.

Personality: Reserved and interpersonal but not shy. Philosophical and ethical when it comes to everything and keen on word-play. This doesn't make him very popular but he is well liked in the community with his sunny disposition and an almost permanent smile on his face. He takes combat seriously, however, and would rather it not take a long time. When training, he focuses on strength and resistance training as his Zanpakuto is heavier than most. He is also keen on figuring people's weaknesses quickly if he can and mainly out-witting them. If that fails, he goes offensive though keeping defense in the front of his mind.
Likes: Intelligent/deep conversation; the night sky; watching fire; a combination of beef stew and rice
Dislikes: Naivety; reiteration; constant, repetitive noises; spicy foods; alcohol; fighting (verbal and physical)
Strengths: Hakudo, Reiatsu, Strategy, Endurance, His Body
Weaknesses: Hoho, Kido, Resolve, His Mind (sensitive)

Zanpakuto Name: Kasai Fenikkusu (Fire Phoenix)
Element/Type: Fire, Defensive/Passive
Personality: Maternal
Spirit Appearance: A small phoenix (3 ft. tall, excluding the 2 ft. tail) which communicates telepathically with a feminine voice. The surroundings of the inside of the Zanpakuto is a single large grassy hill with stark blue skies and scattered puffy white clouds slowly drifting across them. It is simple and serene. Ironically, there is no sun but it is always daylight.
Sealed Appearance: The blade is white and looks ashy while the hilt is black with red details. The Guard is also black in the shape of outspread wings. This sword is shorter than regular katana with a shorter hilt for a one handed grip. The weight is heavier than a regular katana, though.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Shikai: Kasai Fenikkusu no Hiko (Flying Fire Phoenix)
Release Phrase: Maiagaru (Soar)
[Fires, create life. Ashes, become new. Phoenix of the Fire, soar to protect the Heavens.]
Appearance: The blade begins to glow yellow and orange, as if it were burning, from the reflection of the hilt. It also becomes heavier and duller.
Powers:

(wing guard)
Summons a relatively small yet impenetrable and heavy round shield seemingly "on fire" that is formed from the guard. It is warm to the touch and has the shape of wings on the face.

(tailwind)
Must be spoken at precisely the correct time to reflect an attack back at the opponent with equal strength directed toward the back side of the enemy. It ignores shields and barriers or any other defensive measure. This lasts for 1-2 seconds at the longest and cannot sustain continuous attacks. The force of the counter-attack is equivalent to the force the user is able to endure. If the user is knocked back, the damage would be less than if they sustained the attack.

(healing tear)
A clear and viscous liquid leaks from the bottom of the hilt and will heal almost all injuries completely. This process is relatively slow but happens on its own will. There is a set amount of liquid but can be controlled of how much is used.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Bankai: Fenikkusu no Owari (End of the Phoenix)
Release Phrase: Kon Josho (Now Rise)
[With new life, let the Phoenix rise once more and rid those who wish to harm the ones she deems to protect.]
Control: Decent
Appearance: The hilt becomes ashen white with red details and the blade glows more vibrantly and with reddish hues along with the yellow and orange. Even with the absences of the guard, the sword becomes even heavier and duller. If Uingugado is active while performing Bankai (and it usually is), this will become equally heavier.
Powers:

(blazing wings)
Uingugado (the guard) is sacrificed to unleash a large and intense attack against the opponent which follows and explodes on contact. Can only be used once as the shield (guard) turns to ash after the explosion but is accurate and deadly. After using this attack he will constantly switch the hand he uses to hold it. Being ambidextrous helps but the weight is difficult for him to control at times.

(resurrecting ashes)
The blade releases flames which consume the wielder. When finished, it reveals a black user covered in soot. However, under this, all internal and external wounds are cured and fatigue returned. This brings the user to a mental and physical state from before the battle began. This process is relatively quick and spectacular, the flames being showy and impenetrable. After this, the blade renders to ash yet the weight of, the now only hilt, becomes heavier than before, almost dragging its user down.

(a new life)
With only the hilt (meaning the other two powers must be used before this), this command merges the spirit of the Zanpakuto with the user. The hilt fuses with them while the skin darkens as if burned and the hair lights on fire. The eyes become bright yellow and large majestic phoenix wings of a reddish hue sprout from the shoulder blades of the wielder. These wings will molt throughout the battle, more-so when defending or attacking with them than just standing there. These feathers begin to turn to ash, and when all have fallen the Zanpakuto regenerates back into its sealed form and this technique ends. Speed increases slightly while strength grows exponentially. The skin becomes tough and won’t be pierced with a strong attack while the wings are largely impenetrable as well, much like the shield. Fire can be spat out at great speeds and a single flap of the wings burns the air and devastates the surroundings.

Note: the guard and blade "disappearing" mean they turn to ash and are rendered "useless." However, when brought back to it's original sealed state, those ashes reform the missing parts.

Looks good. You go 1st please. The set up would be your character defecting. There would be no other way that he would attack you or even spar.

[Pisces]

Akimoto was done with the dysfunctional Gotei operations. They weren't getting anything productive done to stop the enemy so he decided to run off on his own and start his own Seireitei knowing he'd be able to do a better job.

He stopped in an open field when he felt a surge of powerful Reiatsu. He knew it was that of Captain Commander Naratsu. Akimoto didn't want to bother with his foolishness so he entered his Shikai immediately. "Maiagaru, Kasai Fenikkusu no Hiko!" and his blade glowed with radiance but the weight dramatically increased.
"Uingugado," he said and the guard flew from the hilt and formed an equally radiant shield on his left arm that was just as heavy as the Zanpakuto.

His stance was strong. Ready for what the Captain Commander would test him with.

[yoshua171]

Seionyou, Naratsu

Naratsu arrives looking a bit worried, however as he looks Akimoto over his worry turns to a slight seldom seen annoyance. "Whats going on Akimoto?" He asked him with brow raised, however as he saw the captains blade drawn he put his hand on his own as well.

Then it dawned on him, he was leaving...defecting. Naratsu's eyes seemed saddened suddenly for there was a law against this and he was forced to act by that law to uphold it even though it went against his beliefs.

He slowly began to draw his blade from its white sheath "No light is strong enough to shine through the darkness of the human soul." The tip of the blade exits the sheath and he holds the blade vertically and forwards away from his body. He slowly moves the sheath closer to the bottom of the blades grip as if to make a right facing L shape "As such, let your sins guide you back to the light..." a light shines from his blade and it begins to turn black. "Mujitsu no Tsumibito(Innocent Sinner)."

Images fell over his mind, though trivial. The times he'd told little, unnecessary lies to superiors, to adolescents. Though he didn't regret much of them, but, in fact, a smile came to his face at some of the memories. "Ah, Mujitsu no Tsumibito. Shows me my sins. I'm not a person for regret or guilt over these things as I've learned lessons from them. But if you intend to use them against me, I'd like to see this process. Just another insufficient use of power by the Captain Commander.

You know, I gave my advice not so it would be so quickly discarded but for you to actually think about and consider them. That's something I regret: giving you advice. Why don't you use that against me, 'sir'?" His tone was biting but of aggravation that his superior didn't do as an effective job as Akimoto would have liked. He would sometimes wonder why Naratsu even had a seat of power.

And with this though, darkness fell over his eyes. "Jealousy. Shit. There's nothing to be jealous about. He doesn't have this position for nothing," he tried to reason and the darkness dissipated a smidgen.

And with that somewhat-clear vision, he rushed Naratsu, hoping to get him to just leave him alone and stop causing these negative thoughts. "He's already done enough. Well, he hasn't, actually. And that's the problem. If he can only see my reason this wouldn't have to take place."

He swung his Zanpakuto horizontally at the abdomen of his opponent and they performed a short Shunpo to Naratsu's back making a vertical strike.

[yoshua171]

Seionyou, Naratsu

Naratsu jumped forwards with solemn eyes and shook his head turning and blocking the strike with his strangely shaped blade. He looked at Akimoto "you have given enough reason...now you must pay. I am sorry." He sounded honestly apologetic and then his reiatsu surged to such levels that it was utterly ridiculous however it wasn't a pressure on his shoulders but the thoughts would continue to get worse and worse over time. No matter the amount of sins, the effects would still gradually get worse as long as a few sins were present.

The worst thing was this, that Akimoto was currently committing, or at least attempting to commit one of the worst sins, known as betrayal. The power behind his blade was strong enough to begin to push Akimoto back and then Naratsu's blade was a flash and as it arched back adn then struck a second time driving him bakc further. When he struck that second time, the blood on his blade sprayed off into bloody chains and attempted to grab hold of Akimoto.

[Pisces]

The Captain's chastisement eluded him at the time, as he didn't fully understand. This was mostly due to the fact that the red-soaked chains now hurtled toward him. Seven chains twisted and sprawled all over the place. They were hard to track, so Akimoto dove into them, using the dexterity he had to weave through them, hopefully in an attempt to tangle them.

One caught his sword while he pushed another off with his shield. "Oikaze," he mumbled with instinct, the slight impact going to the back of Naratsu. Another chain caught his Zanpakuto and then another, his hand after he knocked away four sequentially. He tried to perform a kick but was caught by a returning chain when he began to spin into the chains so violently and sporadically that the chains loosened enough for him to near Naratsu.

The chains dug into him, nonetheless. He was strong enough to keep them from piercing the skin, knowing it'd only strengthen the attack.

More images crossed his mind. That time he saw others bully an innocent child and he said nothing. The way he lusted over someone in the Academy. But he tried to fight these with rationalization. Any other time that child was bullied, Akimoto was there to defend him. The lust was short-lived and rarely repeated. It was difficult as his mind raced with these thoughts. A side affect to his Zanpakuto was that it was a great distraction. He shook his head to focus as his free leg swung to slam into Naratsu's leg.

[yoshua171]

Seionyou, Naratsu

Naratsu watched as Akimoto deftly but unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the chains that were a manifestation of his sins. Would bankai be necessary? he wondered and hoped not, he hated to use it for it was an immediate judgement for anyone he battled and it was unfair, unequal to use against anyone.

Then the kick came at him and hit his leg sending him sliding to the side, it was a pain, but his leg was not broken, only damaged. He used the sideways momentum to shunpo behind Akimoto and slash at his back. "I am sorry" he said once again "this is not my wish." He knew combat was necessary but attacking a former comrade was not something he had ever wanted t- a flash of memory hit him and his blade faltered for a moment making a horrible opening.

NO, he banished the memory, no he would not be that person, he wouldn't, never again. He knew that his sword spirit had began to wrap its coils around him and ensnare him in its poisonous grasp.

[Pisces]

Though his body was not fast, his eyes were. Such was the case to make up for his lack of agility. Akimoto pivoted his body just so that his Uingugado would catch the blade. It wasn't about to make it, but then Naratsu flinched and the blade fell on the shield. "Oikaze," he shouted. And a burst of the Phoenix's reiatsu slashed at his back like his sword attempted. It was weak but he wanted to conserve as much energy as he could.

"That's right. Your Zanpakuto affects you the way it affects me," he realized with some laughter. It was odd as he was becoming angrier with Naratsu, though there seemed to be no reason. And with the reasoning for his Oikaze also rose. "Sloth and Wrath. This is bad. I'm too easily influenced." "Do you even know why I'm doing this?" he asked as his sins blinded him. But as he asked, his will began to power through the make-shift sins. Bringing to light an issue was one of resolving a conflict, of which he didn't want. This frame of mind is what he would try to keep for the rest of the fight.
