Brilliant; I was quite worried it might be declined, because it means that my usually organised and neat soul reaper attacks recklessly and powerfully for a short period of time.Then again, Suì-Fēng has a bankai that -really- doesn't fit her usual mannerisms, so I suppose it's fine.

That is a very interesting concept - looking forward to seeing it in battle ^^
And seriously, Suì-Fēng's bankai was such a let down...

Don't worry, be happy ^^ As they say.

Was Sui-Feng's bankai a bazooka or did my memory mess something up?

Why must I constantly get stuck?! *punches the floor*

Shikai abilities. The only thing that I can really fill out (I'm hoping that I can reveal Bankai at a later date, when it's viable in the RP for the Bankai abilities to be revealed) and I've hit a standstill!

Can anyone think of good Kido attacks involving sleep? I want to avoid 5 moves that just KO a person. I'll probably either edit the attacks or add my own flairs to it, but I do need a starting point.

You do not need to fill out all five skills for the Shikai nor the Bankai.

Nonetheless; here is an idea:
Induce Hypnagogia, the phase between Awakeness and Asleepness. In this state, hallucinations, sleep paralysis as well as lucid dreaming become possible.

I have edited Kira's history. I was hitting bumps and blocks for days on how to better describe it, so I left most of it to reveal during the RP via flashbacks.

Well, you can't be a captain from the start, but you can always make him work toward the captaincy spot :P

Lol it'd be fun having Ueru fight for his life... xP

see there in lies the issue, Yorudan would lock him in Bakudo then use Ikkotsu on his face XD

Edit: not to kill you see...just to seriously hurt and maim xp

Man, Hio's zanpakuto has gone through several name changes. I've decided on Fuminshiyou, which means Insomnia (or lack of sleep) in romaji.

I have to admit, I'm really hyped up for this RP - any idea when it'll start? Are we waiting on anyone?

Theme Song

Name:
Aileen Abdallah (アイリーン·アブダラ)

Appearance:
Aileen is 175 centimetres tall and weighs 69 kilogramm. An hour glass figure defines most of her physique. Aileen's skin is pale, while her thick hair is brown and slightly curly. It reaches to the middle of her back. A leather headband with an attached chain and a metal rose is put backwards on her head as a decoration, with the chain being on the backside. Her eyes are dark green. Her face is somewhat shaped like an oval, longer than it is wide. It features full lips and a small snub nose. Her eyes are more aligned to the outer edges of her face and her forehead is small. Her eyes appear to be sunken into the skull, thanks to the great amount of eyeliner she uses. While outside, she prefers to wear big sun glasses.

Age:
Unspecified

Race:
Human -> Shinigami

Rank:
Lieutenant of Squad Four

Spiritual Pressure Color:
Purple

Personality:
Aileen Abdallah is a very ambitious young woman. She easily sets sight on something and refuses to stop until she gets what wants. In fact, she has some sort of personal philosophy, that one's "will" is far more important than one's life, and that one should sacrifice themself if it means achieving what one truly desires. Of course, her goals all require her being very alive, so it remains to be seen whether her words hold any truth.

It would be true to say that Aileen is somewhat arrogant, but more forgiving souls may understand that arrogance, as it occasionally is not that unfounded. Unfortunately, Aileen looks down on many people, and she is also very truthful with her distaste. She disliked being touched by "lower beings", which include most of her enemies, which is why she never bothered with Hakuda, as it requires touching said beings.

Aileen is very interested in the healing arts, but the reasons are two-fold. Once, she enjoys combat – or rather beating things – very much, so she found that being able to heal the things she's trashing around will lenghten her entertainment. However, she also feels a genuine amazement for the ability to reverse the effects of diseases and injuries. Aileen cannot explain where that amazement comes from, though.

History:
Aileen woke up one day somewhere in the Southern Rukongai 70's districts. She wasn't sure what exactly was going on, but the place she was at displeased her massively, and when she learnt that the lower districts were far more pleasant, an epic journey began.

To cut a long story short; she arrived at the walls surrounding Seireitei and then promptly decided that the Rukongai wasn't enough for her. She enrolled in the academy, and already managed to graduate after three years.

She enjoys combat quite nicely, but that was not the reason she joined the eleventh Squad. She simply looked for which Squad had the hottest Captain, and she found that the eleventh Squad had him. She has since wised up and stopped using the sexual attractivity of the commanding officer as a valid way of measuring the attractivity of a military division. Thus she joined the fourth Squad, where she experienced another rapid ascension and ranks, and after just a relatively short time, she was assigned the position of the Lieutenant.

Of course, this was just seen as another stop on her journey to the greatness she believed to deserve, and she already laid sight on getting a position as captain. Unfortunately, she has yet to learn that while the will to power is a precious gift – especially combined with natural talent – it alone is not enough. The most urgent aspect keeping her from captaincy is the fact that she does not possess a Bankai. In fact, even her Shikai is not truly mastered yet. Time will show whether she can get to where she wants.

Other:
Aileen carries a special Gigai with her, which she uses instead of the one that looks like her. It is a perfect replica of a human rap singer called Macklemore. She says it was a gift, but she doesn't say of whom.

Shinigami Skills:

Vast Reiryoku (4/4):
Aileen's Reiryoku is unusually high, especially for a Lieutenant. She believes that this is the direct result of her strong will. However, she lacks control over her Reiatsu. It is possible for it to reach immense levels if Aileen is angered enough, but without this strong emotional impulse is is utterly unable to concentrate her Reiatsu. Fortunately, she is good at channeling her Reiryoku for her Kido spells. She has no idea how she does that, but perhaps the structured nature of Kido helps her concentrate more.
-> Poor Reiatsu (1/4)
-> Impressive Kido Power (3/4)

Zanjutsu Expert (2/4):
From her time in the eleventh Squad, Aileen learned many things about using a sword. She is excellent at offensive styles, capable of nearly using a foe's every opening to her advantage. Alas, this great efficiency came at the cost of not knowing how to defend herself from slashed, although it ties in with her swordsmanship philosophy: "Offense is the best Defense."
-> Vast Offense (4/4)
-> Pathetic Defense (0/4)
-> Average Physical Strength (2/4)

No Hakuda Skills (0/4): Aileen doesn't like touching things and beings she deems to be "lower", so why bother fighting them with Hakuda?
-> Pathetic Offense (0/4)
-> Pathetic Defense (0/4)
-> Pathetic Physical Strength (0/4)

Kido Expert (2/4): Aileen is proficent at using Kido. In addition to Hado and Bakudo, she is very good at putting the healing arts to great use.

Intelligence (3/4):
Aileen is a quick woman, capable of being able to see the connections between things quite easily.

Knowledge (3/4):
Through her travel in the Rukongai, Aileen learnt much about the Soul Society. Additionally, she knows much about the anatomy of both Soul Reapers and Hollows and knows what to do to kill and heal a being.

Hoho Practitioner (1/4): She knows how to use Shunpo, but is not very great at it. Despite this, she is very agile and has extremely good reflexes which she successfully uses to not get touched.
-> Mobility (4/4)

Zanpakuto[b]

[b]Name:
Taiyousanpo (太陽散歩, Sun Walk)

Type:
Fire

Spirit Appearance:
Taiyousanpo appears as a big lioness with crimson fur. Her eyes are golden and she wears a small crown on her head. Her steps leave a trail of burning footsteps behind. Another odditiy is her tail, which is reptile-like and at the end of it, a serpent's talking skull with a full black mane can be found there.

Inner World:
Grassy plains, wherever the eye can look, who are basked in the light of an eternal dawn. Occasionally, the sun at the edge of the horizon dissolved, and it transform into the lines of an Aurora that dances on the firmament.

Sealed Appearance:
A katana with a purple handle. The gold-colored tsuba is designed like a sun. This means, the tsuba is circular is basic shape, adorned with six symmetric spikes at the edges. The sheath is made out of plain cloth. When Aileen releases her Shikai, the cloth burns away.

Shikai Release Command:
Rip, Taiyousanpo!

Shikai Appearance:
The sword becomes a scimitar. That means that the handle gets bent a bit as well. The blade itself darkens into a pitch-black.

Shikai Skills:
Aileen can draw a line with the tip of her blade on any surface. The line itself will appear black and will have a diameter of roughly 8 millimetres. When Aileen uses her Release Command, that is, "Rip!", the lines explode and then vanish. The might of the explosion can be summarized by this simplified formula.

(Invested Reiatsu)/(Lenght of Line) = Might of Explosion

The lines will either disappear when Aileen deactivates her Zanpakuto, or after ten minutes pass.

Bankai:
Aileen has not yet achieved Bankai.

Well, there isn't a set date, but I can tell you it's going to be soon ;) very soon. Not very very soon, but very soon.

I do look forward to playing that out though ^_^

o.O......Are we already discussing a beef within the Goeti 13????

I love it XD

Right, that's everything I -can- do right now, done! I don't suppose you can add a 'reserved' tag on the Cast list for squad 8 lieutenant? Just to avoid people sneaking up and taking my spot!

Reserved for you, Stitches ;)

Name: Kencho-jō

Alias: The Walking Fortress, Smiling Mountain, The Eternal Guardian, The Glacier

Appearance:



Age: 352

Race: Shinigami

Rank: Lieutenant, 10th Division

Spiritual Pressure Color: Grey

Personality:
Kencho-jo is a jovial man in most circumstances. He is the first to laugh at a joke, and the last to give in to anger. When he was still in the districts he would often carry the children on his shoulders, giving them free rides. He loves being surrounded by happiness and as such does his best to spread it wherever he goes. He also cannot bring himself to belittle others, if they have made a mistake he corrects them in the kindest way he can without sacrificing their development.

Despite this he is first and foremost a guardian of all that is good and innocent. In his district days he would protect the children from anyone that wished them harm, taking the blows in their place. Since he joined the Gotei 13 he has kept this personality. In battle he makes sure that he is on the frontlines of the battlefield, absorbing damage while his fellow shinigami make their way into battle positions.

History:
Kencho-jo never resided in a single district in the Rukongai, rather he traveled amongst them at his leisure. While his time in the districts closer to the Seireitei were quite peaceful, a little more than a leisure walk, he often found himself quite a bit busier in the outer districts. He offered his services to groups that were being harassed by gangs or other types of criminals. Whenever they tried repaying him for this he would merely shake his head, before continuing his travels.

He lost track of the years as he moved from one district to another, all of them blending together in a seamless flow. One day he found himself in front of one of the entrances to the Seireitei, and realized that he could protect even more people by joining the Gotei 13. So without any further ado he made his choice.

He led a rather uneventful tenure throughout the years, simply serving which ever Division he currently was assigned to faithfully. It wasn’t until he was suddenly promoted to the position of Lieutenant that his life began to get exciting once more. He worked as his Captains primary guardian, and at times he was even loaned out to other Captains if they believed that he was neccesary. A few decades ago he was transferred to the 10th Division, where he currently remains.
Other:
Height: 6’11
Weight: 290 lbs
Eye Color: Dark Brown



~Zanpakuto~

Name: Subete no hogo-sha

Type: Defensive





Sealed Appearance: N/A, constant release Shikai.

Shikai Release Command: Read the above.


The Shield completely covers his forearm, and stretches a bit in every direction.
Shikai Skills:
Kyōka(Fortify): Slamming his shield down in front of him, typically on the ground, Kencho-jō speaks the name of this technique causing his shield's sharp outer edges to extend outwards by two feet per edge. After this extension occurs the space between the main shield and the extended edges near instantaneously fills with super dense reiryoku, which solidifies the closer it is to Kencho-jō, whereas the outer surface pushes anything that hits it to either side of the shield typically causing attacks to slide off without losing much of their momentum. This technique also offers a sort of bunkering effect to Kencho-jō's body, stabilizing his stance and digging his feet slightly into the ground to more or less temporarily anchor him to the spot making it a very powerful defensive ability for headon attacks as long as he can react fast enough to face them.

Tsuke yobōsen(External guard): A technique with mutiple functions, Tsuke yobōsen focuses the defensive power of Kencho-jō's shikai in the three bladed portions of his shield, namely the two edges and the small straight blade at the top of the defensive implement. The technique comes into play in one of two ways, either Kencho-jō extends the two edges similar to when he utilizes Kyōka. or he more or less attempts to cut someone with any of the three bladed portions of the shield. When the edges are extended, Kencho-jō can aim his shield in any direction, typically with the shield facing in the same direction that an attack i coming from, and extent a roughly rectangular shield of super dense reiryoku with roughly the same composition and purpose as that which is seen in Kyōka. This shield is the same width as his own from top to bottom, but can be as long as he wishes it to be. Additionally, the shield can bend, allowing him to wrap it around people to defend them from attacks.

The second application of this technique is slightly more offense oriented, but only vaguely so as it is more of an active countermeasure than anything else. Instead of extending the edges of his shield and creating the reiryoku shield, he keeps them retracted and channels his massive reiryoku through his zanpakuto. This reiryoku is quickly gathered to the three bladed portions of the implement and the effects are only presented when one of the aforementioned makes contact with an opponent, an attack, or generally anything that is meant to be harmful and can be physically repelled in some manner.

When one, or all, of the edges comes into contact with the aforementioned, a powerful field of reiryoku is emitted from the blade, typically strong enough to send even a captain level opponent flying several meters away. This is caused by a reverberation, or absorp and return, effect. Basically the attacking force is absorbed and then redirected in the opposite direction, sending the projectile, or individual, flying in the opposite direction at roughly the same, or greater, velocity.

Bunpai suru(Apportion): By charging a considerably massive amount of his reiryoku into his shield, stating the name of this technique, and then rapidly extending the edges of his zanpakuto, Kencho-jō activates this technique. Upon activation a powerful shockwave of reiryoku bathes his allies, and opponents, in Hogo-sha's influence. This causes all of his allies to gain a skin tight reactive barrier, which defends against, and absorbs most attacks below the power of a level 50 Hadō spell. For each attack this shield absorbs, Kencho-jō's shield gains more defensive power and can create an even larger shield, or even send of powerful repelling waves of reiryoku, though they do no damage on their lonesome. If a shield is broken, the power gathered through attacks made on those defended by said shields will be divvied to the undefended individual, temporarily boosting their endurance and physical abilities for around 1-3 minutes depending on how much relative power has been absorbed through the shields. Enemies who are bathed in the reiryoku of this technique feel something of a compulsion not to attack those who are defended, but instead to attack Kencho-jō. This technique is based on both Kencho-jō and his sword spirit's willingness to defend and take as many hits for the team as are necessary so that everyone may survive to live another day. During the use of this technique, it should be noted that Kencho-jō is capable of using his shield to generate a spherical barrier around himself. Any damage, or force, that Kencho-jō takes/blocks while using this technique is used to bolster the shields of his allies.

Obviously the technique can only be upheld as long as he has reiryoku to keep it going and as long as there is a steady feed of force/damage delivered to the shields.
