A small giggle escaped the lips of Sonya. She could not seem to help herself given she had gone through the same thing what seemed like not too long ago. Of course it had been over a year now, but that did not seem all that far away when she thought back on it. Besides this girl was fairly brave if she was as young as she looked. Sonya never would have gone on stage at her age. "Well Sierra I can't blame you for being nervous. My first contest went rather badly for me, but in the end I enjoyed it. You learn quick that your pokemon come through for you. Besides it's all about them in the end. As for the nerves, well those never go away. However they do change. You go from nervous to excited. Have you thought about what you and your pokemon are going to do?" Sonya asked with a smile almost to herself as she thought back to her own experiences in the beginning.
"No problem, and my name is Sonya." She said with an almost refreshed smile. It was a little comforting every she wasn't immediately recognized and more or less idolized. After handing the girl the pokedex and letting her put it away Sonya stood up and reached down with a hand offering to help the girl up. "So what's your name, and are you going to compete in the contest?" Sonya was curious, and was mildly trying to avoid the comment about possibly being seen before. The girl looked pretty young so Sonya couldn't help but feel a small urge to help the girl out and maybe even try and give her some guidance. Everyone had to start somewhere, but not everyone had to learn everything on their own after all.
Sonya was thinking of making a call to Amelia or maybe grabbing lunch when she saw a young girl stumble over. Of course someone that young it could just be from being really nervous if she was going to be competing, in any event the young girls things had scatterred about so Sonya slowly walked over and picked up the girl's pokedex since it had slid a little further than everything else and knelt down in front of the girl with her hand held out with the girl's pokedex. "You probably don't want to lose this." Sonya spoke gently and kindly to the girl with a friendly smile on her face. Ever since Sonya had arrived in Viore she had just been wearing dark jeans and a white tank top with a contest ribbon design on the front, while carrying the rest of her things in her black backpack with it's orange highlights that matched her hair. Sonya did not like to show off all the time, it just was not in her nature.
"Seriously though! The way your Bellossom and Quilava worked together in the preliminary round of the grand festival, it was incredible! It was simple, but there was something majestic about it!" Sonya laughed, slightly embarrassed at the fact that this lady in front of her had been ranting about her victory in the Hoenn Grand Festival. Luckily not that many people seemed to be around or this probably would have been far too much for Sonya. "Thank you, though I barely made it through the preliminary round, I'd hardly call it majestic-" Sonya had started to reply, trying to be polite, but the girl continued again. "You're being overly modest!" The girl started again. "Even if you weren't the fact is you still swept away everyone in the next round! Not to mention the contest battles that followed!" Sonya began laughing a little sheepishly while scratching her head finally getting a little more embarrassed than she would have liked. The girl was not wrong really, but Sonya still felt new to the scene compared to the majority of coordinators in the world. While it was no fluke that she won the competition, she still occasionally tried to pass it off as that. Though Sonya was basically being slapped in her face with her own talent everytime she ran into someone who recognized her.
"I suppose it was a little unique, but really I was just enjoying the fact that I had the opportunity to be there. In any event I'm hoping to see some of the sites before the competition, so is there anything else I need to do for registering?" Sonya finally got the girl to realize that she was there for a job, not to socialize forever. "Oh! That's right how silly of me! Nope! You're all ready to go." She said with a smile. "I can't wait to see what you do this year!" With a small bow Sonya smiled and headed turned to go. She really had no need to go visit any of the sites. Sonya had actually been in Vertigo City for about a week, but she found it was a great excuse to get out of conversations with anyone that recognized her. The problem was what should she do now?
@Shiny Keldeo just wanted to say thanks again for inviting me back into this!
As for getting my first post up I'll probably have to wait till later since it's getting late. But yeah! Good to be back and I'm looking forward to writing with you guys!
Appearance: Sonya typically wears a black tank top with dark blue jeans unless it's cold then she also has a jacket on over her tank top. She likes to keep things simple outside of contests, and also tends to wear fingerless black gloves and a black backpack with orange-red highlights that match her hair in the sunlight. Within contests or really nice events she really shows her girl side with beautiful dresses and making sure her hair is perfect, the whole nine yards.
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Personality: Sonya is a confident young trainer/Coordinator who is usually cheerful, but not necessarily upbeat. She has a high tendency to put things off like practice or work, but secretly that's only publicly. She actually works really hard at practicing with her pokemon and loves them very much. Though when it comes to losing it makes her feel as though she failed her pokemon and can upset her greatly.
Hometown/Region: Violet City - Johto Region
History: Sonya was born and raised in Violet City. She left as soon as she turned of age becoming a pokemon trainer with her partner Cyndaquil. From there she traveled throughout the Johto region going from gym to gym. She met new friends along the way and even some rivals too, but in the end it was a great experience for her. At the end of it all she even made it into the Silver Conference. It had been a little nerve racking at first especially when she found out her family had traveled to see her in person. While she did not end victorious in the competition, she did finish in the top eight making it to the finals so she was happy with the result and knowing that she lost to one of her childhood friends Amelia made it not so bad as well as all the cheering she got during the competition for how she had gone about things.
This inspired Sonya to look into other things like breeding pokemon, or even health for pokemon like at the pokemon center, but what really caught her attention was when she heard about the pokemon contests in the Hoenn region. He parents understood and wished her well. Sonya left all of her pokemon except her main partner, Quilava. While on the trip there she ran into Amelia again and they decided to stick together throughout the Hoenn region. Amelia thought it was a wonderful idea that Sonya was going into contests, and even tried a couple herself. Sadly however contests just weren't her thing. So while they were both getting badges for the Hoenn region Amelia left the contests in Sonya's capable hands.
Eventually Sonya won enough ribbons to get into the Grand Festival and all eight badges for the region as well. Beyond all belief coming in as the rookie of the crop Sonya brought a flair to the stage that seemed to impress all of the judges and even the participants and ended up leaving as the winner of the Grand Festival. From there Sonya accompanied Amelia through the rest of her Hoenn challenges and then they both said farewell at the airport. Amelia had decided to head to the Sinnoh region while Sonya had decided to head to Viore. It had sounded like a place of intrigue plus there would be contests there as well. She had pleaded with Amelia to join her, but the girl was determined to see some of the sites in Sinnoh. With that they had a final hug goodbye.

【Additional Appearance Info: Standing at roughly five feet six inches and weighing a mere one-hundred sixteen pounds Rēku wears the standard outfit of the old gotei with the exception of her haori. Her haori she replaced the symbol of her division with the symbol of her clan, the Tatasuko. Her zanpakuto rests vertically upon her back directly at the center. The strap at the front of her body a shimmering black with a buckle also in the shape of the Tatasuko clan's symbol.
【Biography: Tatasuko, Sunōfurēku a girl known by her peers as Rēku, became one of the youngest lieutenant to date. Dying at such an early age not many had hope for the child, but she showed high promise to at least one shinigami who adopted her and sent her to the academy, which she graduated from ahead of schedule and achieved her shikai not long after. Making lieutenant only thirteen years after her shikai appeared Rēku was easily on the fast track to success leaving many to wonder just how far she would reach, and also just how fast.
To most peoples not so much surprise Rēku did not advance in an explosive way after that point. As most shinigami know that reaching higher than that takes a lot of time, experience, and effort usually even for a rare gifted individual. Luckily Rēku had found her place in the ninth division. For a few years several throughout the Gotei 13 thought that letting someone so young and inexperienced was the biggest joke ever made by the captain of the ninth division. Of course this did not express the feelings of the division in which she was lieutenant of for they had seen her with their own eyes while on missions. She had earned the respect of all of her division within a year and any new person to the squad was quickly taught a lesson.
What finally gained Rēku the respect of the other divisions was an attack in one of the districts by a abnormally large number of hollows. The response force was overwhelmed and probably would have been slaughtered. Luckily for them Rēku had been out exploring the districts for some personal time alone from the divisions when it had taken place and arrived in time to kill the hollows and save the Gotei members. After that event most people within the Gotei began to respect Rēku as a lieutenant and started looking at the good qualities that she had, quickly noting her aptitude for kido, and the control she had over her zanpakuto.
After that event the next century went by with little incident. Rēku killed hollows, kept the peace, and tended to her duties as lieutenant. Then one day Captain Takeyama told her that he wanted her to succeed him as captain of their division one day and so he decided to take her out and train with her every day for a few hours as long as the job didn't interfer with anything. Finally after another two centuries Rēku challenged her captain. The entire division had known the day would come. No one hated Rēku for challenging Captain Takeyama. The fight lasted roughly thirty minutes of back and forth kido being launched and deflected, their zanpakuto clashed, and finally Captain Takeyama changed things up when he released his earth based zanpakuto Ishi Jūden-ki. Rēku kindly responded with releasing her own zanpakuto Ryūshi Tōzoku. After that the battle was over in only a few more minutes with then former Captain Takeyama on his knees acknowledging he had lost to the new captain of the division.
Being called Captain Tatasuko by most was a little odd at first for Rēku. The man who adopted her, her father, Zume was the captain of the twelfth division. So now there were two captains with the same name. Of course her father probably wasn't surprised at all, but he made it known that he was proud of her and her achievements thus far and that made Rēku proud of herself. At this point she was still extremely young for being a captain. In the end even if someone wanted to, they couldn't say anything since she had defeated her captain with the appropriate wittnesses. The nice thing was she could still go visit her old captain for advice, or just to vist which is what it normally was. Of course there were still whispers about her age once more since she was now a captain and only looked nineteen years old. She had grown used to it though and flat out didn't care by this point.
At this point Rēku would seem to disappear a few days at a time but always seemed to make it back before anyone really worried. She still managed to make to every meeting, even any emergency meeting so no one ever complained. This went on for another century until one day the entire Seireitei was invaded. Everyone was driven to the world of the living. Disgraced with defeat the Gotei had spread out among the world. This gave her plenty of time to work on what she had been working on before. Finally Rēku had mastered her bankai.
【Personality: Like many children, Rēku began as a little brat, but over the centuries she mellowed out and matured. Despite her youthful appearance she learned much from the long years. To her friends she became kind, gentle, and even caring. To her father she was a serious and dedicated--if the somewhat egotistical. To her foes she was ruthless and without mercy as in her eyes they were worthless, and she had no issue revealing this to them. As with all people Rēku is a person with many facets, though many are harder to define.

✘ Dealing with idiots ✘ Having her time wasted ✘ Feeling helpless, or useless ✘ Paperwork
Zume adopted Rēku only a few years after she appeared in one of the districts. So Rēku has known Zume essentially her entire life and has dedicated herself to proving herself worthy of his acceptance. To her Zume is probably the most important person in existence due to him saving her, raising her, and even giving her the chance to become a shinigami.

【General Aptitude】
Fighting Style:
Rēku tends to go for a more strategic style of fighting. She isn't one for hacking and slashing, or punching things. Rēku tends to use her zanpakuto's abilities, and mixes in kido since that's her specialty. Whether she crashes a building on top of someone, or blasting them with a kido point blank to make an opening for the one strike she'll make with her zanpakuto physically. She will do anything creative to get the job done.
Creating a white cube in the user's hand, this spell is activated by crushing the white cube of reishi. Upon being crushed, an opaque black sphere will engulf a 4 meter radius, with the user being the central point. This opaque sphere does not allow reiatsu, some reiryoku, sound, smells, and even light to pass through it, making it a sensory dead zone. However, its true purpose goes beyond this, as should someone be caught within it, they will be rendered unable to move—the sole exclusion being the user. Should the user move, the sphere will remain in the same location it was activated in. As only certain forms of reiryoku may escape it, the sphere will persist for a potentially indefinite amount of time, as it is a closed system, never losing or leaking the energy that maintains it.
Should someone simply be touched by the black sphere, rather than being wholly trapped within, they will find that whatever part of their body was touched, becomes incapable of channeling or manipulating reiryoku as if the pathways which it travels along in the body have been sealed. Until the material is removed from their body or the kido deactivated by its user, this effect will persist.
Bakudo #68 Saiten tsume(採点爪 'Marking talon'):
Requiring the user to keep their finger trained on the target, this spell, after ten seconds of sustained pointing, during which time they succeed in following their target’s movements, the kido will create a small physical mark somewhere on their body. Once this mark forms, a link is created between individuals, allowing the caster to sense the target. This effect is one way, and may be disrupted by way of using reiatsu to destroy the mark laid by the kido.
Bakudo #60, Enkeikousoku(Binding circle):
After chanting, a spell is planted in the ground that activates after being stepped on. It releases a light in a pillar upwards, immobilizing whatever stepped on it, similar to Geki, though several times stronger. Once cast, the ground glows once before disappearing. Thanks again Gan!

~"Ryūshi Tōzoku, you're more beautiful than the stars around us."~
Additional Description:
Inner World & Spirit:
Zanpakuto Personality:
Shikai
~"Devour and create...Ryūshi Tōzoku."~
Ability: Ryūshi Tōzoku's ability is to convert the matter it touches into an unstable energy particle that seems to float in the air as shimmering light. Ryūshi Tōzoku accomplishes this by letting matter pass through the blade which is actually a casing. While matter is inside the blade it is converted into the special particle and then released. The factor for which allows Ryūshi Tōzoku to break down matter as it passes through the blade is a black hole. In fact there are twenty seven back holes in total along this twenty-seven inch blade each encased in a one inch blade bit.
Each blade bit is essentially an arrowhead but in a one inch shape of the tip of a double edged sword and can detach from the rest of the blade bits. While it looks as if they fly through the air independently, they actually are being pulled forward by taking in whatever is in its path. These bits are capable of turning, not at a very sharp angle while alone, but when more than one blade bits are around they are capable of messing with gravity enough to move more unpredictably, and more if enough are working together.
Now when you get down to the speed of the blade bits, each one individually can move seven meters a second and for each connected blade bit it can move an additional seven meters per second. This adds up to twenty-seven total blade bits that can detach together. This adds up to a maximum of one-hundred eighty-nine meters per second. It should also be noted that this will also affect how quickly it can turn around.
Techniques
Name: Shōten bakushuku(焦点爆縮 'Focal point implosion') is a technique utilizing a variable amount of blade bit working together in a ring, or circle of some kind to create a gravitational force which heavily pulls on everything around it. The more blades in the ring the stronger the pull.
Name: Jūryokuido(重力井戸 'Gravity Well') is a technique utilizing all twenty-seven blade bits to create a tornado of blade bits going in multiple directions. This causes a gravitational pull that pulls on everything in the surrounding area. The huge difference between this technique and Bakushuku chūshin is that things that try and pass through this tornado to the center are quickly ripped apart and drawn into the surrounding blade bits creating the problem in the first place. It also doesn't pull nearly as hard as the highest level of Bakushuku chūshin and is more like Shōten bakushuku in between its middle and highest levels.
Bankai
~"Bankai...Sugureta Ryūshi Tōzoku."~
Ability: In bankai Ryūshi Tōzoku takes in all of the energy particles created while in shikai. Each particle being capable of charging a house for a month before starting to fade. At first this would seem like a ton of energy, which it is., however the amount that Ryūshi Tōzoku requires for each technique is on a whole different scale. The ability for Ryūshi Tōzoku in bankai is simply to utilize the unstable particles after stabilizing them through the activation of the bankai itself. The blade bits of Ryūshi Tōzoku become superheated burning and melting whatever it comes into contact with it as a by product of the super condensed energy.
Techniques
Name: Joji hei(助辞塀 ‘Particle Wall’) - Between three or more blade bits Ryūshi Tōzoku is capable of generating a defensive field. The more blade bits in the field the stronger it gets, but this is also somewhat related to how many particles were generated in shikai.
Name: Ha soryūshi no (刃素粒子の 'Blade element') - Ryūshi Tōzoku is able to launch a beam of condensed energy that matches the dimensions of the blade, except length. This beam does not fire off of the blade but is an extension of the blade itself. The length of the beam is limited depending on how many blade bits are connected to the blade bit.
Name: Konzetsu wana(根絶罠 'Eradication trap') - When there is a field of blade bits in the area they can create a barrier around a targeted area. After forming this barrier to entrap a target the can generate a massive amount of energy throughout the area blasting it with extreme force and energy essentially melting and evaporating what’s inside the barrier. Upon breaking down the barrier it is as if nothing was ever there.
Name: Renketsu(連結 'consolidation') - The first part of the final technique for Ryūshi Tōzoku is condensing all of the energy gathered into a single blade bit. This allows the blade bit to move at the speed of a shunpo in the third degree.
Name: Gisei shōmetsu(犠牲消滅 'Sacrificial annihilation') - The second part of the final technique of Ryūshi Tōzoku is caused when the user uses their full Reiryoku to crack the blade bit and encase it. Once this happens the user may send the blade bit flying. Finally though, when the casing fails, all of the stored energy is released in a massive explosion. This explosion is dependent on how much energy is stored in the blade bit, however it will most likely never be defined as a ‘small’ explosion.
Yeah when I got home last night and finally read that and put it up I totally thought in a 'make sure the credit is given where due' thing, so I'm on it XD

Name: Renketsu(連結 'consolidation') - The first part of the final technique for Ryūshi Tōzoku is condensing all of the energy gathered into a single blade bit. This allows the blade bit to move at the speed of a shunpo in the third degree.
Name: Gisei shōmetsu(犠牲消滅 'Sacrificial annihilation') - The second part of the final technique of Ryūshi Tōzoku is caused when the user uses their full Reiryoku to crack the blade bit and encase it. Once this happens the user may send the blade bit flying. Finally though, when the casing fails, all of the stored energy is released in a massive explosion. This explosion is dependent on how much energy is stored in the blade bit, however it will most likely never be defined as a ‘small’ explosion.
