Soul

Rank: Former Kido Corps Vice-Chief, Currently a seated member of Squad 13

Spiritual Energy Colour: Pure, Blinding White

Personality: A comfy team mom who is always there to bandage your wounds, Mary is a quiet, submissive type of girl. She considers hardships she faces to be trials sent by some higher power, and firmly believes that everything that happens, no matter how big or small, is part of some greater plan. On the battlefield, she's placid and unshakable, a pillar that can always be relied upon.

History: A woman lynched in Karakura Town during the 17th century, she was scouted as a Shinigami due to her strong spiritual power, and sent to study at Shin'o. There, she discovered her talent for seals and barriers, finishing the six year Kido course in only two. However, due to failing the Hakuda exam three times in a row, she took some eight years to graduate anyways.

She entered the Kido Corps after graduating and worked her way up through the ladder over the next 200 years or so, eventually becoming vice-Chief and establishing a medical corps that worked closely with the Gotei 13. Roughly 100 years ago, the Kido corps leadership, along with high-ranking seated members of several squads, were decimated by an unknown assailant. Mary herself barely escaped with her life thanks to the valiant efforts of the Kido Corps' Chief and the squad captains. Those involved in the conflict were named Missing in Action and presumed KIA. Mary refused a promotion, and resigned out of guilt as soon as the new Chief had settled into his role, naming one of her pupils as a successor for Vice-Chief.

She lived a quiet life as a lecturer and researcher of Kido at Shin'o for the next eighty years, until a Hollow attack near the university grounds brought to her attention just how thinly-spread the Shinigami's resources were. Fearing for the lives of her students, Mary signed on with the 13th as an auxiliary and soon found herself a seated member in spite of her modesty and sporadic appearances.

~Zanpakuto~

Zanpakuto name: Enter Sandman

Type: Kido

Invoked Zanpakuto Command: Exit light, enter night

Spirit Appearance:
A tall, imposing woman resembling St. Anastasia of Sirmium

Inner world:
A peaceful Gothic-styled abbey filled with faceless dolls dressed in habits, who bustle about acting out silent funerals for lifeless mannequins.

Sealed Zanpakuto appearance: An oversized scalpel of polished steel which Mary wields like a polearm. (think Faust from GG)

Shikai appearance: A floating, disembodied torso, arms, and upper skull, and heart, connected by chains. It wields a hammer and stake, and is connected to Mary herself by a thick, intangible chain that pierces her chest.

Bankai appearance: N/A

Shikai special ability: Enter Sandman possesses the ability to the extent of transferring wounds between entities, allowing people to be healed by passing off or distributing their damage. The most notable point of Enter Sandman is the sheer wholeness of the transfer; its power over wounds is unchanging and immutable.

Shikai skills:
1. Dr. Feelgood - Intangible, transluscent chains and stakes appear from Enter Sandman's heart, harmlessly piercing all nearby allied entities and allowing Mary to freely transfer wounds between the linked or store them in Enter Sandman's heart- though any wounds still left when Shikai is canceled are transferred directly to Mary. The chains persist until Enter Sandman is dismissed, and regenerate if damaged.

2. Painkiller - Enter Sandman's other primary trait is that it can move independently from Mary at a speed comparable to one who has mastered Shunpo, though it can only do so in an approximately 500m radius around Mary herself.

3. Surgical Steel - By pounding its stake into an entity, Enter Sandman can forcibly bring them into the "network" created by Dr. Feelgood, allowing Mary to transfer wounds to them. Much like the chains it generates, the stake itself is intangible, harmless, and pierces through matter regardless of toughness.

4. Comfortably Numb - In addition to wounds, Enter Sandman can also freely distribute and store pain felt by its component members of the network as well as monitor their conditions.

5. Sister Morphine - Enter Sandman automatically heals and stores wounds inflicted upon Mary herself takes without being ordered.
