Name: Sin Nguyen
Appearance: A lanky, tall man appearing to be in his mid twenties, with an almost barbaric look about his face. The symmetry is still enough, however, that most don't find him to be ugly, just rugged. His white-grey hair softens this along with his pale blue eyes and fair skin. His rugged facial features with his soft complexion and colors give him a very contradictory image when looked at individually.
His attire consists of a dirty, torn black pants, a white tank top covered, in part, by the remains of his mother's stolen Captain Haori. It is small, only forming a sort of vest over his clothes.
Personality: Sin is hard on himself. Very insecure, but wise in strategies, due to escaping authorities and potential captors. His reaction to others is at first closed, but for those who he finds a commonality with, he tends to open up to. His loneliness so far makes him long for meaningful relationships outside of his family. So, for those he does find a connection, he holds very dear.
History: Growing up in District 80 of West Rukongai was a hard time. As a child, Sin was sent to do the dirty work for his crime-syndicate family, the Nguyen Clan. Sin was forced to hone his skills in battle on many occasions just to survive his victims retaliations, as well as attacks from other thieving clans. It wasn't until his teenage years he heard about what had happened to his family to put them in the outer districts of Rukongai. The Exodus, as told by his mother, described a battle ensuing between the then-royal-family Nguyen clan and the other royal families. This was in part due to the usurpation of the great Nobunaga. In the shadows, however, it was because the Nguyen clan were weaker than the rest, and the other clans looked for a reason to push them out anyway. Sin resented this, wondering why his family didn't renounce their allegiance to Nobunaga. He left them, alone on the streets, hating his ancestors for shaming him and all the Nguyen descendants to lives of crime, necessary just to eat. His wandering eventually led to meeting a mysterious man who was once a member of the Gotei 13 under Nobunaga. He showed Sin a chance to redeem his family. His life was about to change. These people took him in and taught him what they could about zanpaku-to and eventually he released his zanpaku-to and obtained shikai form through extensive training.
Shikai: 結晶 Kessho (Crystal)- A large zanpaku-to, taking the unusual shape of a bastard sword in its sealed state. This may be due to his lack of total control as of yet, being new to weilding his zanpaku-to.
Release: 壊れて、結晶 Kowareru Kessho! (Be Broken, Crystal!)- Kessho turns black and shatters. the pieces on the ground melt it, and disappear. The leather handle and oversized cross-guard, as well as teardrop-shaped rain guard are left. The pommel goes from the standard round end to a teardrop shape just like the rain guard. Where the blade used to be, now a mist appears,
Abilities: Upon release, Kessho's swing forms giant pillars of thin, Obsidian glass. The glass forms in any shape, but his skill is to form it at a point on the ground, travelling upward in an upside down cone, with the round open end at the top. They are fragile, but upon the touch of Sin's pommel to the side of the glass cone gives a piercing sound that distracts opponents focus. More cones activated increases the sound, and larger cones activated in succession can even burst eardrums. Larger masses of cones could distort sounds, even images, to fool opponents. But Sin can only create 10 cones at a time, or 5 large ones which puts him at his limit. Offensively, the shikai is lacking, but the glass itself can be broken by Sin forcefully to harm opponents, as well as raising shear walls of glass from the ground to cut unsuspecting opponents. The Shear Wall is only capable of one wall at a time. Its defensive capabilities aren't strong physically, but illusions and using the glass to hide his exact location are useful tools to sneak attack with the Sendan (Shear Wall) attack. The Shikai's range is short, capable of creating the cones in 30 foot radius of the hilt. In order to spawn more cones, Sin must destroy one on the field, as only 10 small or 5 large can be active at one time. Shear Wall takes the place of one small cone.
Bankai: Not yet attained
I liked my obsidian glass technique, going off the contradiction that the bastard sword that creates glass, as well as the thin glass being black gave. but i can't figure out how to make it powerful, other than making the glass liquid to solid, trapping opponents in it or something. Any ideas? does the shikai/character sound good so far? Idk if the names are right, google translate sucks butt.
