Name: Tamashī Seikyo
Alias: Tamashī the Unfelt, Tamagotchi (Only Arina refers to him as this), and Phase.
Appearance:
Age: 237
Race: Shinigami
Rank: Lieutenant of 6th division, former Lieutenant of 2nd division.
Spiritual Pressure Color: Deep Violet
Personality:
To say that Tamashi is a man of few words is a rather severe understatement. The only people he will regularly speak to are the Captains, and that is only because they outrank him. In any other circumstance he only speaks when it is absolutely needed, or when he is asked a direct question that cannot be answered with a simple shrug/nod. This does not stem from some dislike of being social, though he doesn’t like it either, he just believes that speaking is a waste of energy in most circumstances. The few people of his rank and lower that have heard him speak are often shocked to hear how light his voice is, which is as androgynous as the rest of him. Most people are not aware of his gender, and he finds that to be perfectly acceptable.
Tamashi strongly dislikes not doing something, much like speaking he finds it to be a waste of energy to be standing around doing nothing. As such he has found multiple hobbies to keep himself busy when he is not performing his duties. Due to his lack of social interaction he has mastered quite a few such as painting, sculpting, shogi, dancing, and surprisingly enough, singing, though less than a handful of people have witnessed the last.
Tamashi is incapable of experiencing the emotion of fear, as well as love to his knowledge. This hasn’t always been true, he had known fear often prior to joining the Gotei 13, but since he bonded with Hadaka no Tamashi his entire viewpoint had shifted. He no longer viewed himself as a living soul, merely one that was passing by. He isn’t alive, yet he has not reached the point where he is dead. The incantation to release Hadaka’s Shikai perfectly fits the way they both think. They are nothingness given form. Why be afraid of something when the worst it could do was send you to your next destination after all.
When on the battlefield, or on a mission, very little changes about Tamashi. He prefers being able to run solo ops, since the likelihood of him having to speak is nonexistent. He is also simply more comfortable by himself, it allows him to act in a manner that he rather keep from others. He doesn’t hesitate with his moves, quickly ending any threat that he comes across. While he is fully capable of fighting on the frontlines he much rather stick to the shadows, his foes only realizing his presence the moment it is too late.
History:
Tamashi’s history prior to joining the Gotei 13 is as much of an enigma as he is. He has never spoken to anyone about it, not even what district he had been in. His known history starts with his placement within the 2nd division, which he spent a majority of growing years with. He followed orders to the letter, never asking questions and never hesitating regardless of the mission. He was a perfect little solider, or in his circumstance a perfect little assassin.
This continued for a number of years, over which he continued to steadily rise up the ranks. When Arina Kawagana become Captain of the division she saw fit to promote him to be her Lieutenant. Once more this time during his life is a mystery, as only Arina herself knows the missions that she sent him out on. He worked completely solo during the 20 years he served as her Lieutenant. Right around the 20 year mark he received unexpected news. He was being transferred.
The Captain of 6th division saw fit to steal Tamashi away from Arina, though Tamashi still has no idea why Romiel felt the need to do this he has not once complained. Just like when he was with Arina his mission history is only known to his Captain, and anyone that Romiel felt needed to be informed. The past 30 years he has served Romiel faithfully as his Lieutenant, doing missions, training, and of course perfecting his various hobbies.
Other:

In an alternative universe he is Shota's best back-up dancer.
Shinigami Skills:
Great Reiryoku (2/4) - Tamashi has a decent amount of Reiryoku, though it is nothing impressive.
Impressive Reiatsu (3/4) - Despite his average stores of Reiryoku, he knows how to use it very well. having an above average amount of control.
Poor Kido Power (0/4) - Really? Do I need to write out how terrible he is?
Zanjutsu Grandmaster (4/4) - There are very few Lieutenant who equal Tamashi in Zanjutsu, though many are better at attacking since he has limited strength.
Impressive Offense (3/4) - Tamashi is quite capable in a fight, though he rather end it with one strike than trying to overwhelm them with multiple.
Legendary Defense (5/4) - His defense is something else, it is nearly impossible to land a blow on Tamashi as he deflects any attack that manages to get past his dodging.
Poor Physical Strength (0/4) - Look at Kido Power.
Pathetic Hakuda (0/4) - N/A
Poor Offense (0/4) - N/A
Poor Defense (0/4) - N/A
Poor Physical Strength (0/4) - N/A
Pathetic Kidō (0/4) - Does anything really need to be said about this? He has no skill with Kido.
Incredible Intellect (4/4)- Tamashi is quite an intelligent individual, though not many get to see this fact due to his silence.
Impressive Knowledge (3/4)- The knowledge that Tamashi posses is unknown, for the same reason that everything else is unknown about him.
Legendary Hohō (5/4) - He has more skill with Shunpo than most any other Shinigami in the Gotei 13, which served him well when he was Lieutenant of the 2nd division.
Legendary Mobility (5/4) - Very few can keep up with Tamashi even without using Shunpo, his mobility is another one of the major reasons that it is difficult to land a blow on him, as he is ridiculously flexible being able to duck, dodge, and dance around attackers.
Zanpakuto Name: Hadaka no Tamashī (Bare Soul)
Type: Unclassified
Spirit Appearance:
Inner World: Simply a blank void.
Sealed Appearance:
Shikai Release Command: Befitting his typical silence, Tamashi has bonded strong enough with Hadaka no Tamashi to be able to release his Shikai with only a movement, drawing the blade along his palm hard enough to draw a little blood.
Shikai Appearance:
In addition to this all color drains from Tamashi, leaving every bit of his clothing a bland white. Excluding the ‘blood’ on the mask.
Shikai Skills:
Incorporeality- Tamashi’s physical body rapidly breaks down, leaving an ethereal form in its place. While in this form he is not capable of taking, or dealing damage making ideal in a situation where he is severely outmatched. In most circumstances Tamashi will return to corporeal form slowly once he begins the process of returning, however if he forces enough energy into the technique he can cause a rapid materialization allowing him to make a sudden strike. In addition while in this form he is capable of going through solid objects.
Disassociation- The concept of this technique would more or less be that rather than becoming entirely incorporeal, Tamashi allows part of himself to lose its corporeal status thus freeing up some of his reishi. This reishi can then be associated with something else, say his zanpakuto, increasing its length, width, or altering its shape according to his wishes. However, part of his body must sacrifice roughly the same amount of its solidity for this to occur, thus rendering it entirely unable to come into contact with anything at all.
Corporeal Incorporeality- Tamashi separates his body into two parts, one that is visible and incorporeal while the other is invisible but corporeal, meaning that it makes noise. Tamashi is capable of switching positions with the clone, as well as alternating which is corporeal. This is the strongest ability granted by the Shikai form of Hadaka no Tamashi, and as such it is also the most taxing. He only uses this ability when beating the target/targets is absolutely necessary and the previous abilities have proven ineffective.
Bankai: N/A
