Kalas, very interesting abilities - a very good character overall. I gotta be honest, I love it :D And I think that Ever covered everything, so I don't have anything to add. *thumbsup*

Thank you, I'm glad that you like him. I think I'm gonna write up another one today. Probably make a female too, since we currently have a distinct lack of them. :D

Coren Tsukiko



Age:
181

Height:
5'6"

Weight:
63Kgs

Hair Colour:
White

Eye Colour:
Purple

Race:
Shinigami

Rank:
13th Squad 3rd Seat

Spiritual Pressure Color:
White

Personality:
The best way to describe Coren is 'A breath of fresh air'. That's what many of her superiors have said about her. Others, however, would liken her more to a 'gust' rather than a mere 'breath' simply because of the way that she's constantly on the go. She becomes bored very easily and frequently acts in eccentric ways to sate her boredom. Ever the socialite, she is not afraid to make conversation, even to those whom she's never met before. She is usually friendly most of the time but can carry with her a nasty temper if caught on the wrong day or provoked. Even so, she doesn't anger quickly, she'll usually resorts to cutting remarks and snide comments.

Her everyday personality carries itself over into battle as well. Coren has been known to attempt to strike up conversations with those whom she's been authorized to exterminate. This is usually seen as a ploy by her enemies to lower their guard, but her intentions are never that devious. Her attitude to fighting in general is that it bores her immensely, she'd much rather be out patrolling the districts and finding new people to interact with. Which is why she never really takes things seriously during a fight. She is often quick to release her Shikai just so that the fight can be over quicker and she can get on with the rest of her day.

Other times, Coren can act rather flirty and promiscuously. She has been chided by many of her female peers for being too flirty but this hasn't stopped her in the slightest. She enjoys male attention but not so much that she'll go out and make a name for herself. She generally just enjoys the banter that comes with the attention. To her it is simply another form of socializing.

History:

~Zanpakuto~

Zanpakuto name:
Reijiu Irotsuri (レイジーウィローツリー) Lazy Willow Tree

Type:
Tree

Spirit Appearance

Inner World

Sealed Appearance:
Irotsuri's sealed form comes as two standard Zanpakutos in the shape of straight katanas. They each have cyan coloured handles and white blades. Only a few details separate the two from being completely identical. Her right blade's tsuba is a highly intricate and interconnecting mass of tree branches, shown to be in full bloom. Her left blade's tsuba consists of interconnecting tree branches that have decayed and become disfigured. The colour of the left blade is slightly off-white as well, though you could only notice if you were extremely close.

Zanpakuto Shikai Release Command
Mezame, Irotsuri (目覚めレイジーウィロー) Awaken, Willow Tree

Shikai Appearance & Attributes:
When Coren activates her Shikai, her blades transform into two lances, seemly made of a blood red wood, that she dual-wields with practiced ease. Each of them have their own unique design etched into their shafts that matches their respective tsuba in their sealed form. The red colouring of the lances isn't colouring at all but actually an extremely rare tree sap that the lances secrete to cover themselves entirely.

It is thought that Irotsuri is more that one Zanpakuto Spirit, which is why it manifests as two Blades in its' sealed form and two Lances in Shikai. This is wrong, however. A common mistake assumed by many going purely off of appearances. In actuality, Irotsuri manifests two versions of itself. The first is its' life force and the second is its' death. These versions are represented as Growth (Seicho) and Decay (Gensui). Coren refers to each version as a separate entity whilst Irotsuri is sealed or in Shikai form and they each have their own set of abilities.

Shikai

Shikai Skills

Growth: Impale (成長突き立てる) Seicho: Tsukitateru
Coren holds Seicho with its' point aiming toward her opponent. Upon uttering the words "Seicho: Tsukitateru", the lance extends towards her enemy at an extremely high velocity with the intent of skewering them. The attack may only move in a straight line so it can easily be dodged. If the strike lands, however, the victim is dealt a deep wound that can hinder them severely if not treated right away.

Growth: Blossoming Thorns (いばら満開) Seicho: Ibara Mankai
Coren speaks the phrase "Seicho: Ibara Mankai" then proceeds to launch Seicho toward her opponent but aiming for the ground surrounding them. As soon as Seicho lands in the ground, multiple blood-red spike burst from a large radius around the point of impact and home in toward her opponent's location. The damage caused from being struck by multiple spikes can be fatal, depending on the victim's endurance levels. These spikes are also laced with the same blood-red sap that covers the lances.

Decay: Splintering Barrage (減衰分裂弾幕) Gensui: Bunretsu Danmaku
After speaking out loud "Gensui: Bunretsu Danmaku", Coren hurls Gensui toward her opponent, aiming specifically for them. Gensui then begins to break down, eventually exploding into a hail of razor sharp splinters that rain down upon Coren's opponents including their surrounding area. Each of these splinters are laced with the same blood-red sap that covers the lances. This attack is extremely difficult to dodge if caught unawares.

Decay: Hollow Grasp (減衰中空つかみ) Gensui: Chuku Tsukami
Coren stabs Gensui into the ground in front of her. Almost immediately, hundreds of rotting, wooden arms spring up from the ground, seemingly clawing at the air. These arms are sent out in a crescent-shape wave from Coren's position until they lock on to a nearby enemy's spiritual pressure, where the wave then homes in on them. If caught by the arms, they will grasp on to their target and attempt to drag them into the earth, which is being churned up by the repeated spawning of more arms. The arms themselves are relatively weak on their own but even if a few of them are able to grab you, it will become increasingly more difficult to escape. Each arm is laced with the same blood-red tree sap, although they are a much darker shade.

Bleach: The Silent Legacy

Okay, so I've added in the extra detail and made the Shadow-Stepping a sub-ability of the Become Darkness ability, which fits well I feel. Thanks again for your suggestions, I really like the ideas.

And I'm probably not gonna work on the Bankai until a later date, but I'll keep you in mind if I get stuck with anything :)

Bleach: The Silent Legacy

Thanks Ever, I'm glad you like them.

In regards to your suggestions, I love them. I'm all for working with other people's suggestions because, although it is my zanpakuto, I may not always have the best ideas for the concept I'm trying to put across. And there are people like you, who enjoy zanpakuto design, who can see my concept from a different angle and add something better. It's always a shame to pass stuff like that up. :D

So thanks again, your ideas are welcomed. I'm just having trouble understanding what you mean by "Finally I just think it would be cooler if instead of Oozing the chains/sword burns hot like it's being forged and starts to drip and then those drips form the chains/shadow underneath you." Do you mean this in regards to the shadow-stepping or how his chains grow when he grabs them?

Edit:

Also, I might have to see what ideas you'd have for a Bankai. I am currently thinking of cross between multiple chains and James Heller (Prototype 2) with an attack similar to his Devastator Attack. But I'm open to ideas.

That's kind of what we were going for :P I'm only saying that I botched it in a way that I thought everyone wrote their agreements with it in the interest check ^.^'' although no harm is done.

I know, I know, and I was simply agreeing with the idea. :)

Anyway, I've updated Jinzo's Shikai quite drastically. If you'd like to take a look and tell me what you think?

Bleach: The Silent Legacy

Ehh? I kinda like the idea of not being a Captain straight off the bat. Gives me something to work towards/more time to work on my Bankai. :P

Say Kalas, you seem to have a really good grasp of the Japanese names for your moves etc. Do you know Japanese? because mine were just pieced together from what I could find across the internet and would love them to be verified as I'm sure they are wrong (His Zanpakuto is a bit of a mouthful so a change wouldn't be too bad :P)

Unfortunately, no, I don't know Japanese. I just use a range of different translator websites and cross-reference between each one. Google Translate is usually a good start but from there I double check that via romaji.me and then nihongo.j-talk.com. Most of the time I find the right Romaji and Kanji for my names but sometimes I have to fit things to the way I like them. :D

Bleach: The Silent Legacy

LostBrotherGrimm said He's a good character, I love how his past is directly connected to his Shikai abilities and I am afraid to see what his Bankai will look like :P
And MAN - the thought never dawned on me that Soul Society might have criminal activity to such extent. Anyways, I say - welcome aboard!

Thank you kindly. :D I am currently, re-writing his Shikai/Abilities but if anything, they'll be even more connected to his past.

I really like Kalas' Character, bit Kido-ish for Squad eleven but it doesn't matter too much :P Shinigami version of Äs Nödt, I'm all for it!

Ahaa! Yes, I thought about this too, like I said above, I'm changing stuff still to make him more unique/more melee based. Though I expect that I'll keep some of the original stuff there, or incorporate them into these new attacks. :)

Glad you like him so far, though. I'm excited for this already.

No! Not at all :) I've been meaning to change mine anyway. My female character is the one most similar to yours and I've been wanting to change the power of her shikai regardless. The male character is quite different, just similar things here and there.^.^

EDIT: Also, do you have Skype? I'm trying to put an OOC group together. Everyone else, I've added all those who posted their skype names.

Well, I'm still largely editing my CS, so his Shikai is susceptible to change. I'm gonna try and make him a bit more unique. :P

And I do indeed: kalasalseif

I'm online on my phone now. :)
