General critique. Please do not take this as an offense or attack.
- Grammar should be a greater focus. In Advanced, it's expected that you write with proper structure and punctuation even in a CS.
- 60 is actually quite young. For his Age Appearance, he would probably be closer to 100-120 (depending on his Reiryoku).
- Were his parents part of the Gotei? That would be the only way he'd be able to pull pranks on the Captains and such.
- Why was Kella abandoned by the Gotei? Was she exiled or did she leave? If she would not reveal the reason, it would be good to add that. Would it have been allowed for him to trained by an ex-Shinigami? Did she seem to delve into dishonest practices?
- She would not have been able to become a Hollow in the Spirit World. Only Pluses from the World of the Living can become Hollow under volatile circumstances. Was this a doing by a third party? Did the 12th Division discover this? How much was it looked into?
- "Quickly" rising up the ranks is neither realistic nor interesting. It's better (in RPing practice and general "reality" in a fantasy world) if he worked his way up with constant training and over a "longer" period of time.
- The Stats need to be worked over. First, being a "Legend" in Kido while being the Lieutenant of the 11th Division would likely be disallowed if not frowned upon and shunned. Second, anyone below Captain cannot have Legendary stats. Third, it doesn't look like you went through any of the math or calculations for the stats. Something like this would be more accurate to what is possible for your character:
3: 2, 3
4: 4, 2, 3
0: 0, 0, 0
3: 2, 4
2: 2
Even so, it should be described how he "got away" with practicing Kido to such a degree while being in the 11th Division.
- It's unusual for a Zanpakuto to be Italian (or anything other than Japanese). Why is this? How did he overcome the potential communication/cultural barrier?
- The Zanpakuto does not follow the Release rules. The first and second abilities of both the Shikai and Bankai are not related to the theme of the Zanpakuto. Only the first of each are legal considering the Zanpakuto's nature of Acid. Furthermore, the Shikai ability would not be able to transfer into Bankai due to the altered nature of the ability. Lastly, Stats cannot be added during Bankai, they are only reached from what you have already calculated.
If you have any questions about the OP rules and structures, please don't hesitate to ask. :)

Name: Akiyama Yasu
Sex: Female
Age Appearance: Late twenties/early thirties
Rank: Veteran Captain
Appearance : A beautiful, tall woman with peachy pink skin, bright blue eyes and long brown hair, generally organised in an ornate pair of braids, decorated with various strange, yet, beautiful rings: a last heirloom from her now defunct family line, and their former wealth. She stands at about six foot, three, which puts Yasu well-above average in terms of height.
Her attire reflects her roots in the 2nd division, as her Shihakushō is a much more form-fitting outfit, with a slit in the legs that allows for more manoeuvrability. Above that, she wears her Captain’s Haori with some considerable pride. She appears to lack any obvious blemishes, cuts or marks: although when asked, she has been known to mention a noticeable burn on her right shoulder.
Personality: Akiyama Yasu is best described as intense. She is constantly displaying some sort of emotion, be it deep concentration or obvious elation. She rides the eternal spectrum of emotion from one extreme to another from moment to moment: as she believes very heavily in being honest with other people about your emotions. Because of this honesty, Yasu is an approachable person, who you can expect to be honest and friendly on the first meeting.
It is this likable aura that makes Yasu so popular amongst people, especially those of her division. She is an honest and fair taskmaster, as well as someone that you could consider going out and drinking with (although the latter option is rarely pursued by all but the bravest of souls.) Some accuse the woman of being brutally honest at times, but she does at least make an attempt to soften the blows of criticism.
Akiyama is also intense in her pursuit of goals. Whether it is reading a book, or apprehending a criminal, Akiyama Yasu is fervent in her dedication to a task. This intense dedication towards doing things right the first time has given Yasu a reputation for respectability and reliability.
In short, Akiyama Yasu is a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve and who throws her everything at everything: be that Work, play, peace or war. No task is too small to put effort into, and no task is worth anything less than everything.
History: Once upon a time, the Akiyama house was considered part of the nobility that makes up Seireitei. About six-hundred years ago, the last generation of the Akiyama house was born: Twins, no less. The first was a beautiful, healthy baby girl, Yasu; and the second was a strong baby boy, Akomo.
Yasu and Akomo were tutored in the Shinigami arts almost as soon as they could walk. Lessons on Reiryoku training and Hakudo lessons, as well as martial arts and Hohō and every single Shinigami art that could be imparted on the young pair: all in the attempts to mould the next generation of officers that would bring further honour and prosperity to the Akiyama house.
As one would expect from the constant training and tutoring, the twins quickly found by and entered into the Shinigami academy, where they further honed their arts. Yasu quickly distinguished herself in the schools of Hohō and Zanjutsu, whereas Akomo become known for his diligent mastery of Hakudo and Kido. The pair worked tirelessly to distinguish themselves as Shinigami recruits, and they both graduated from the academy much faster than was average.
As the pair physically aged to 17, the twins were both a part of separate divisions. Yasu joined the second division, whereas Akomo joined the Eighth. The pair worked hard to keep distinguishing themselves, all for the honour of their family. At first, Akomo and Yasu rose together at a steady pace: reaching seated officer within a few decades and slowly climbing the ranks over subsequent years. Eventually though, Yasu began to pull ahead. She had found motivation in self-betterment, as opposed to just blindly following the will of the family head; and she found friends and comrades in the ranks of the second division. Akomo, on the other hand, had only found rivals and opponents.
As she reached a physical appearance of 22, Yasu managed to attain the rank of Lieutenant. The day of her ascension was widely celebrated in the Akiyama household, and even her division seemed to celebrate the success of one of its more popular members. She had made friends of backstabbers and assassins, and they rejoiced at her progress. The only person who did not celebrate her success was Akomo, who was still only the third seat of his division.
The reasons remain unclear to most, but something caused Akiyama Akomo to assassinate the lieutenant of the eighth division, only three years later. Perhaps it was a bitter resentment or rivalry that drove his blade, or perhaps he wished to prove his superiority to all the non-believers. Either way, the act brought incredible shame to both the Akiyama house and to Akomo himself.
Yasu, shocked by the discovery of her brother’s betrayal and his dishonourable actions, took it heavily. It took the Central 46 a matter of hours to decree that the 6th division alone would be tasked with the apprehension of Akiyama Akomo, despite Yasu’s plea that she be allowed to join the apprehension task force. Yasu and her captain discussed the incident during the night, following the decision that the sixth division lead the hunt: and Yasu confessed her desire to hunt down her brother. The 2nd division captain scolded Yasu for the blatant disregard for the Central 46’s orders, and Yasu asked that she might excuse herself in order to ‘sleep away her worries.’
She did not retreat to bed that night. Yasu disregarded her captain’s words, and snuck away from the second division barracks with the intent to confront her brother. Many say that a bond between twins can transcend rationality. Humans speak about the link between twins: how if one is hurt, the other can feel it. Yasu didn’t know about feeling her brother’s pain, but she knew him well. It took her very little time to find him, lingering in a spot the pair played in as children.
The confrontation was brief. Her brother asked Yasu to betray everything she knew and come with him. He said that he didn’t care about anything except his sister, and Yasu refused the man who wore her twin’s skin. She drew her sword against him, and they briefly fought. At first, Yasu seemed to hold the upper hand: yet her kin said something that shook her deeply. It isn’t known what it was, but Akomo capitalised and disarmed his sister, knocking her to the floor and pinning his sword against her neck. Anyone else would have been dead, in that instant: but Akomo could not kill his sister, for she was the only kin he cared about; the only kin that didn’t demand anything from him, or expect greatness at all costs. He fled to the human world, and Yasu remained paralysed on the floor until the sixth division captain found her, a few minutes later.
Yasu was brought to the cells of the second division barracks, where she was confronted by a very angry 2nd division Captain. The woman shouted down Yasu, but within moments, Yasu had broken down into bitter, resentful, self-loathing tears. She cursed her own weakness, and her inability to stop her brother, and she begged the captain to help her become strong: to help her attain Bankai, so she might at last end the dishonour she had brought to herself and to end her brother’s shameful actions
The captain rejects the request, telling Yasu of her lack of discipline, and the shame that she was bringing to herself through her own actions, and how that in turn was shaming her family, and even the 2nd division captain herself. Yasu seemed hurt by the knowledge she was shaming her captain, and she managed to calm the tempest of her emotions. It was at this time that Yasu and the captain were informed that the Central 46 had ordered Akiyama Yasu to face ten years in the formal detention.
Yasu agreed to the incarceration without any objection, wishing no further dishonour on herself, her family or the captain that had treated her so well. She asks that the 2nd division captain keep a hold of her Zanpakutō while Yasu served her time in the detention center, and the second division captain agreed.
During her incarceration, Yasu spent a great amount of her time meditating on a vast number of things: She meditated on her brother’s actions, on her failings as a Shinigami and on the part of her soul that now sat, unattended in Yukihiro’s possession. She soon found herself spending more and more time meditating on the Zanpakutō, until one day: it spoke back.
The years in detention passed, and soon: Akiyama Yasu was released from detention to the bitter news that her family had been interrogated and ransacked by the sixth division, as they upturned every stone in order to find her brother and, perhaps more frightfully, to see if the rest of the family involved. In a twist of irony, it seemed that Yasu was exonerated from any suspicion due to her attempt to capture her twin, and her honour remained less tainted than the rest of the family: which was ruined by her traitorous twin’s actions.
She made a visit to her captain once she was released, and the captain and her former lieutenant (Who had been stripped of her rank following the incarceration order) shared a few words, before the captain handed Yasu back her Zanpakutō. As soon as the blade touched Yasu’s hand, the feeling of incredibly potent Reiatsu flowed from the now-free woman: who had grown more in ten years of imprisonment than most Shinigami do in a century of freedom. The development was fearsome, and she commented on how ‘noble’ the Akiyama woman looked.
Yasu immediately made an effort to seek out the captain of the sixth division, with a request that she might be able to hunt down her brother with the members of the sixth division. She was initially refused, but one look into the intense eyes of the Akiyama woman told the sixth division captain all he needed to know. She and the captain of the sixth division departed for the human world, in order to follow the last clue that her twin had left.
Yasu and the Sixth division captain manage to corner her brother in a small Japanese town. The two separate, in order to try and corner the man, but Yasu failed to find her brother before the captain did. She felt it before she saw it: two strong Reiryoku colliding together. She rushed to the epicentre of the field, where she saw her brother threaten the entire town below with a powerful kido, that the Sixth division captain was forced to negate. In that moment, her brother struck, and dealt a deathblow to the captain.
Yasu felt rage overflow her thoughts at the falling body of the 6th Division captain. He had been an honourable man, resolute and unflinching in his conviction and here, her brother had tricked him and cut him down like chaff.
At first, Akomo seemed pleased to see his sister, remarking on how the time had made her even more radiant. She only said two words.
”Bankai.”
The following morning, Akiyama Akomo was dragged onto execution hill by his own flesh and blood: his own twin, no less. There was a cold-ness to Yasu’s eyes as she pinned her brother down, and read out the charges against him to the Captain-commander: The murder of a lieutenant, fleeing justice, the endangerment of the human world, the murder of a captain and treason. The sentence was clear: death. To test the resolve of Akiyama Yasu, Kaito Kuroda spoke up to the gathered Shinigami.
“In order to make a final test of Akiyama Yasu’s resolve, and so that she might prove herself worthy of being a true member of the Gotei 13, I task you, Akiyama Yasu, with the task of execut…”
Before the sentence was even finished, the head of Akiyama Akomo bounced against the floor, detached from its body. Akiyama Yasu’s blade was stained crimson with her kin’s own blood.
“It is done, Captain-Commander.”
Yasu bowed to Kuroda, and within a week, it was decided that the most suitable replacement for the Sixth division captain was the now-redeemed Akiyama Yasu.
Ever since, Akiyama Yasu has served as the unflinching force of honour and justice in Soul Society. For over Three centuries, she has held the title of Captain, and not once has she let a dishonour such as her brother fall against Soul society again.

In a twist of irony, it seemed that Yasu was exonerated from any suspicion due to her attempt to capture her twin, and her honour remained less tainted than the rest of the family: which was ruined by her traitorous twin’s actions.
She made a visit to her captain once she was released, and the captain and her former lieutenant (Who had been stripped of her rank following the incarceration order) shared a few words, before the captain handed Yasu back her Zanpakutō. As soon as the blade touched Yasu’s hand, the feeling of incredibly potent Reiatsu flowed from the now-free woman: who had grown more in ten years of imprisonment than most Shinigami do in a century of freedom. The development was fearsome, and she commented on how ‘noble’ the Akiyama woman looked.
Yasu immediately made an effort to seek out the captain of the sixth division, with a request that she might be able to hunt down her brother with the members of the sixth division. She was initially refused, but one look into the intense eyes of the Akiyama woman told the sixth division captain all he needed to know. She and the captain of the sixth division departed for the human world, in order to follow the last clue that her twin had left.
Yasu and the Sixth division captain manage to corner her brother in a small Japanese town. The two separate, in order to try and corner the man, but Yasu failed to find her brother before the captain did. She felt it before she saw it: two strong Reiryoku colliding together. She rushed to the epicentre of the field, where she saw her brother threaten the entire town below with a powerful kido, that the Sixth division captain was forced to negate. In that moment, her brother struck, and dealt a deathblow to the captain.
Yasu felt rage overflow her thoughts at the falling body of the 6th Division captain. He had been an honourable man, resolute and unflinching in his conviction and here, her brother had tricked him and cut him down like chaff.
At first, Akomo seemed pleased to see his sister, remarking on how the time had made her even more radiant. She only said two words.
”Bankai.”
The following morning, Akiyama Akomo was dragged onto execution hill by his own flesh and blood: his own twin, no less. There was a cold-ness to Yasu’s eyes as she pinned her brother down, and read out the charges against him to the Captain-commander: The murder of a lieutenant, fleeing justice, the endangerment of the human world, the murder of a captain and treason. The sentence was clear: death. To test the resolve of Akiyama Yasu, Kaito Kuroda spoke up to the gathered Shinigami.
“In order to make a final test of Akiyama Yasu’s resolve, and so that she might prove herself worthy of being a true member of the Gotei 13, I task you, Akiyama Yasu, with the task of execut…”
Before the sentence was even finished, the head of Akiyama Akomo bounced against the floor, detached from its body. Akiyama Yasu’s blade was stained crimson with her kin’s own blood.
“It is done, Captain-Commander.”
Yasu bowed to Kuroda, and within a week, it was decided that the most suitable replacement for the Sixth division captain was the now-redeemed Akiyama Yasu.
Ever since, Akiyama Yasu has served as the unflinching force of honour and justice in Soul Society. For over Three centuries, she has held the title of Captain, and not once has she let a dishonour such as her brother fall against Soul society again.
Zanpakutō: Black-Cowl Arbiter (黒カウ ルアービター Kuro-Kauru Ābitā)
Theme: Form-Alteration and manipulation.
Unreleased appearance: A normal length katana with a square cross-guard. At two opposing ends of the guard, small juts point inward, towards Yasu’s hands. The hilt is gold, with red lining that zig-zags up the hilt. The blade is fairly standard in length, colour and width.
Shikai release: Pointing the blade down, and placing a hand upon the flat end of the hilt, Yasu will utter the word “Arrest” to unleash the first release.
Shikai Apperance: The sword transforms itself into a lengthy Kasuraigama: A sharp sickle, or Kama, which has a chain attached to a hilt, and a flail on the end of said length of chain. The weapon is very long in length, and can prove very difficult to successfully and profitably parry, due to the nature of the weapon.
Shikai ability: Apart from merely transforming the blade, Kuro-Kauru Ābitā has the ability to phase through non-sentient constructs and beings at Yasu’s will. To the unimaginative, this ability could be described as underwhelming or mediocre, but to the imaginative and the intelligent, this ability changes the entire dynamic that a person fights with. A seemingly impossible attack arc becomes a very real threat, and a defensible position becomes meaningless in the face of such a power.
There are of course, limitations to the ability. For one, as mentioned above, it cannot pass through sentient beings. This means that the weapon cannot just fade through a person, or a Zanpakutō, which means there are of course outs, when fighting Yasu. The only exception to the above rule is that the blade can pass through Yasu herself. She generally keeps the fact hidden, as it provides a very real edge, at times.
Due to the captain’s strange stance on the use of her Zanpakutō’s Bankai, Yasu only ever unleashes the blade ‘against enemies that threaten Soul Society.’ The only people who ever see her Bankai are enemies, who soon become corpses. As such, only Veteren Captains and the Captain-Commander are aware of her powerful Bankai, and what it can truly do.
Talents:
Reiryoku - Immense 3: Yasu has a decent amount of Spiritual power stored up at any one time, and her willpower is stronger than the average man or woman. While a few echoes of her past still haunt, they do not leave open wounds.
Reiatsu - Incredible 4: Yasu’s spiritual power is well above average, and has the habit of smother the unprepared under its weight. More importantly, Yasu has a decent amount of control about her Spiritual power, and can hide its presence to a certain extent.
Kido Power - Average 2: Yasu is able to cast and maintain Kidō spells in the middling levels with relative ease, although she usually finds that stopping to use Kidō just ends up slowing her down.
>
Zanjutsu - Legend 5: Known throughout Soul Society as one of the most proficient swordsman in generations, Yasu is considered a deadly force with blade in hand, be it her Sealed katana or the deadly releases that follow
Offense: - Legendary 5: Yasu is a swift and deadly fighter, who takes great pleasure in applying her Zanpakutō’s release in inventive and deadly ways. She combines her Offensive focus with her Legendary mobility and complete mastery of Shunpo to end fights before the opponent has a chance to attack once.
Defence - Incredible 4: If one were to think that Yasu might be a one dimensional fighter, focused on offence, they would soon be proven very wrong: Should the 6th division captain be put on the defensive. Perhaps most frightening is the speed she can move from defence to offence and then back again.
Physical Strength: - Impressive 3: The only possible fault one can likely find in her form is that her physical strength is only impressive. In all frankness, Yasu doesn’t require much more strength than her current level because she fights as a quicker, more evasive opponent.
Hakuda -Practitioner 0: While she knows the academy basics of Hakuda, and could easily deal with Shinigami of a much lower rank using the martial art, Yasu has long neglected her Hakuda, and would suffer without her Zanpakutō.
Offense - Poor 0: Due to her preference of Zanjutsu and her general talent with both it and Shunpo arts, Yasu always neglected her Hakuda, and suffers for it today. If she is somehow disarmed, she would likely struggle in a fight: although she’d never admit as such.

Kidō - Expert 2: While not a master or some such with Kidō, Yasu is proficient with the theory of Kidō and is more than capable and more than willing to employ it.
Knowledge - Impressive 3: While she is devoid of knowledge about the human world, Yasu is quite wise on the Shinigami arts, on her duties as a captain and, strangely enough, all things to do with painting: one of her personal hobbies. She is a prolific reader, and during more peaceful times she oft convinced her subordinates to procure her human books.
Intelligence - Impressive 3: Yasu is a fairly impressive intellect, to the point that no ordinary person would dare call her foolish or an idiot. She is quick to pick up details and can sometimes spot the more minute details.
>
Hohō - Grandmaster (4): As a former lieutenant of the second division, Yasu is deeply skilled in the art of Hohō in all its forms. Much like her mobility, Yasu makes use of this speed and cunning; in conjunction with her Zanpakutō, to overwhelm a foe.
Mobility - Legendary 5: Perhaps the crux of both her fighting style and at the core of who she is, Yasu is a blindingly quick, flawlessly graceful and perfectly flexible individual. She moves around the battlefield with the skills and speed of a martial artist and the poise of a dancer, and this mobility is used to full effect with her very tricksy Zanpakutō.
A note, I have confirmed that my bankai can remain hidden with Pheonix directly, and If anyone else intends to do the same thing, they should contact her. Da boss gets da info and da choice, after all.
