【Hair Color:】 White
【Height:】 1,79 m/5ft 10''
【Weight:】 77kg/174lbs
【Style:】 Her overall style can be summed up under less feminine and more tomboyish handsome. Her hair reaches to the mid of her back, has sharp expression with a charming relaxed smile more often than not. Doesn't like to use makeup of any kind, nor accessories.
【Clothing:】 For clothing most of the time she wears a sleeveless variation of the Shihakushō that all shinigami wear. With the addition of the white haori on top of it. The haori is usually worn extremely loosely, barely hanging on the edges of her shoulders and she's got the habit of taking it off a lot... and sometimes even forgetting where she did so. Still it's alright, she can 'always' track it over the reiatsu mark she put onto it.

【Personality:】 Calm, collected and easy going, this would be the most apt words to describe Myako. She seemingly never gives in to negative emotions such as sadness, rage or anything else like that. Much more to her heart as joy and having fun, looking on the optimistic side of things. For the most of her life in soul society this was all people saw of her. However there was a side to her they weren't aware they were experiencing. She knew that only personal strength can grand her true freedom and respect, thus she bid her time back then, waiting for her power to grow, before she revealed her abilities fully. Only then did she go full to her calm, collected and easy going persona for real.

Additionally as much as she likes to spend time within the barracks or with the people in the Gotei 13, she much more prefers to hang about with the regular souls out within soul society, spending much of her time, hanging around them in disguise, seeing how they live, living as they do, telling stories to the children, helping them find ways to live easier lives. Granted this gets her into trouble, but as she likes to say – live is short. So she might as well enjoy it as much as she could, beside what would they do to her anyways? It's not like she's broken any real rules about this.

Still as anyone who seems overly calm and collected on the surface, there's a turbulent depth to her that shows up on the very rare occasions that she completely loses control of herself in some kind of hatred or anger. In those cases she will kill. Doesn't matter who it was, as long as they have pushed her to that extreme, there is no hesitation. As long as they are dead, she's willing to jump to hell and back if she has to. If they aren't in hell, well she's willing to drag them down to it along for the ride. As the old saying goes: the quietest people are the scariest when they snap.

【Biography:】 Myako's past prior to entering soul society is a little bit of a haze to her, but it's not without any memories. She was born to a family of a well off merchant. Long and rather boring story short, she was used for political usual marriage of political and economy gains and eventually got killed by the mistress of the man she was married to. Needless to say it wasn't as simple as that since the moment she was about to die, she also kinda pulled some impressive stunt and stabbed the woman that killed her with the very knife she pulled from her body before she finally fell over and died.

During the whole of her life, she had never stopped seeing unnatural sights across the town she lived in. Never did she believe that after death she'd become one of those very same unnautral phenomenons around. She was dead... but still around. She could see the world continue around her. The thing that changed was that the people around couldn't see her and she had a really weird dangling chain from her chest. For a little while she hanged about, causing small mischief to the household that was supposed to be hers. Eventually though a monster showed up, she had absolutely no desire to attempt to save anyone, but the thing seemed to be mostly after herself... turned out it was the woman she killed in return back then. Before the monster could have the chance to kill her... ehh sort of? And eat her? Sort of... a person in black showed up, slashed the beast in two with their sword and with nary an word of explanation stamped Myako's forehead with their sword's hilt. There were many curses spoken aloud at that person... both during the event and a later date eventually when they met again.

After she opened her eyes once again she was at an unfamiliar place yet somehow similar. It didn't take long for her to learn this place was called Rukongai and she was located within the west section. There wasn't much of getting to believe this was real, after all she spend quite a bit of time as a bound soul on Earth, so this place wasn't too crazy. What was a pain though was the fact that adapting to this new place was a whole different thing all together. For an afterlife of sort, this place sure wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. She lied sometimes, she stole other times, she cooperated with other souls so they could continue to exist to a degree, but it quickly came known that she was not quite as all the others. Despite being in Soul Society for a rather short period of time, her Spirit Power and Spirit Pressure were growing very rapidly and they seemed substantial to begin with.

Putting two and two together, she figured out the best course of action was to try and become a Shinigami. She went and registered for the exams. Gave it her best and passed with great marks. Maybe a little too great marks cause she was attracting attention, attention she wasn't keen on having right now. She was sure as hell this academy and the shinigamy society wasn't all sunshine like some of the people believed out in the streets. So following that she hid herself deeper in the classes. She still got good marks, but wasn't seemingly to excel in anything much. She put utmost attention to detail to pretend her skills were not developing at incredible speeds and that she was somewhat above average, but not by too much. Still despite the elaborate charade she was putting on, she did graduate from the academy and got herself a place in the 13th division. Where she met her old friend the bastard who just hurled her to this world without any explanation. Turned out he was a Lieutenant of the division. After cursing him to no end, she started to do her tasks, whatever they were, day after day, getting stronger while keeping her abilities as secret as possible, attempting to pass as an ordinary soul reaper.

Eventually somehow or another she even ended up as a Lieutenant instead, replacing the bastard. All the while her abilities progressed steadily and rapidly to a degree. She got her Shikai pretty fast and after a about 100 or so years started to learn her Bankain in secret. Took her decades to do so, but indeed she managed to do it without revealing it... probably. She was suspecting the captain might be suspicious of her, that she was doing something in secret, but she made sure to erase all tracks of her training. Always making sure to be well hidden. Eventually her Bankai was manifested properly and it's abilities properly understood and while there was even more of it's capabilities to master, storm was brewing on the horizon. One that she had spotted in her years of pretending. She was soon going to be put to the test and she was sure she'd give a lot of people a surprise.

【Fighting Style:】

Myako's Spiritual Presence is rather substantial. While not the greatest observed out there, she's still ranking up very high. Having realized that rather early, she spend countless hours into training to control it ever better and eventually gained a pretty good control over it. This substantial power, gives her a certain degree of resilience and the ability to pressure others should she chooses to. Again while not someone who focuses on crushing people with only her reiatsu, she's still able to exert a captain level pressure with no issues, though she's more keen on using it to defuse others' pressure instead.

Myako's fighting style is mainly focused around fighting with her zanpakuto, utilizing Zanjutsu and Hohō. She's a speedy fighter as demanded by the nature of her Shikai, but even when she's not using it, in the sealed form of her sword, she's still attacking with incredible speed and precision. That's not to say she doesn't have physical force to back up her attacks, she's just not focused solely on it. She rarely uses pure Hakuda, but does use Kido on many occasions as a support craft more often than not. She had long since learned to control her Spiritual Presence and control it rather well, able to bottom it up and make it appear as different whenever she's not wanting it to stand out, though even with her control she can hide it only so much. She's also rather observant in a fight, utilizing her surroundings to boost her already varied attacks.

Her fighting style shifts rather significantly when she releases her Shikai. When using her shikai, she lowers her use of Kido even more, mostly because her shikai has rather good range and casting kido takes time she doesn't want to waste, what little kido she uses, is usually of direct cast skipping chants. With her Shikai taking the form of extendable long chains with blades on the end, she's able to perform huge sweeping attacks, generating more power with the greater the swing is. Same with rapid near spear throw like attacks at straight line. The chains move almost like alive in her hands as she masterfully controls them to sweep, crush, wrap, cut, extend and retract. Fighting with those, she relies on the greater range to generate powerful swings and impacts as well as unexpected angles of attack. Often couples these attacks with wraps and throws, using the chains to literally toss her enemies about.

【Additional Information:】

【Inner World:】

【Description:】 The inner world takes the form of a boundless dark space. There's a single island floating to nowhere. There isn't any vegetation, it's just a barren landscape. There are huge open spaces and rock formations scattered across the island. At the center of it resides the only construction like object in the entire world, a crumbling tower where Fukami Rensa awaits. The most distinct feature is however the countless 'things' waiting out in the darkness of the island. This is the abyss and it hungers...

【Personality:】Fukami Rensa is a Zanpakutō that embodies the spirit of survival. Appearing like a woman, it uses long jagged like chains as weapons. Within the inner world it's a hunter that preys on all the 'things' lurking in the darkness. It's kill or be killed, survive or die. It doesn't like to forgive, doesn't like to be kind, it's a simple pragmatical calculated survival of the fittest mentality. However to it the stronger the foe, the greater the joy. It relishes in fighting strong opponents, hungering for the thrill that only facing the strong could give it. Enjoy every moment of survival because it might be your last.

【Ability: The shikai is a set of bladed weapons attached with a chain that's capable of extending and retracting to will as the user controls their energy and exerts their will over the weapon. It can extend and retract at speeds comparable to her mastery of Hohō. Once pulled out, her Spirit Pressure increases, her body becomes able to move faster. As her reiatsu and presence increase, the energy starts to take form around her, turning into darkness that starts to envelop the chain and then her arms, the darkness seems etherial and yet also makes the chains look menacing and jagged.

【Techniques:】

【Technique Name:】 Hunter's Grasp

【What is it?: The chains fly in extreme speeds, as the two intertwine, before spreading suddenly at the target, instead forming a big sphere of chains around it then it the chains rapidly shrink and wrap around the enemy, the blades stabbing at them as the grasp tightens ever more until they either manage to break out somehow, or are crushed and maimed to death.
As explained above.

【Technique Name:】Wild Hunt

【What is it?: A technique that makes the two chains to fly around erratically, increasing their speed even more, attacking and swiping at odd angles without any control on her part. It's an attack that causes great amounts of damage, but has no aim at all. It's a pure collateral damage AOE that's perfect to fight enemies that try to sneak about up to you or are using stealth skills of different kinds.

【Appearance:】 As explained above.

【Technique Name:】 Shattering

【What is it?: An attack that's focused all around channeling an absurd amount of Reiatsu into the chain and the blades at it's end. Once the energy is channeled to the full, the chain starts glowing with black as the blade at the end starts to appear more like a glowing ball of blackness rather than a blade. As the Chain is swung at the moment of impact, all the energy is unleashed, creating a devastating energy impact that can black out the area from the released black reiatsu for a moment, leaving massive craters. She actually likes to use it in conjunction with the Hunter's Grasp, making the chains wrap around the enemy as the two blades charged with Shattering impact at the same time, while their bodies are still wrapped in the energy charged chains.

【Appearance:】 It's basically a huge bomb of black Reiatsu that's controlled with a black chain.

【Ability:

【Techniques:】

【Technique Name: Web Cascade

【What is it?:】 After a great number of chains are deployed at the battlefield, Myako can chose to use all of them to suddenly create a massive dense contracting web at the target in attempt to bind and crush them. The web contracts at extreme speeds and strength. If the target is wrapped properly, they will appear as a ball of moving chains that grows ever smaller as the chains are tightening around them.

【Appearance:】 As above.

【Technique Name:】Hunter's Mark

【What is it?:】Tag an enemy with a Reiatsu mark, allowing the user to accurately chase and target the enemy no matter what manner of hindrances are between the user and the enemy. She can set out her chains to seek out her Reiatsu Marks like homing spears, ensuring the enemy is always attacked no matter how much they attempt to hide or block line of sight.

【Appearance:】 A Black mark in the shape of a palm of concentrated Reiatsu.

【Technique Name: Metsubiru Naminde/Die with me

【What is it?:】If all else has failed and defeat seems inevitable, Myako possess this one last trump card. When all else has failed, when she's injured, when the opponent has already overpowered her, like the saying goes a tiger is most dangerous when it's injured. With nothing else to lose, this technique allows her to pull off one last attack to drag the enemy down with herself. Pushing the limits of her reiatsu, she materializes a number of chains that wrap the enemy to herself to prevent their escape from the attack. Once that's done 4 chains overloaded with her spirit energy collide where she and the enemy are, causing a massive explosion that can contain up to all of her spiritual energy, creating an utterly devastating explosion that basically nothing or no one can escape without being damaged.

【Appearance:】 As above.
