"Sharp thorns produce delicate roses."

Name: Hiroshi Masumata, "Hiro"

Appearance: Standing at six foot one and weighing in at a hundred and seventy three pounds, Hiro possesses a well defined musculature and an athletic built. His eyes which generally appear to be light brown, are tinted with a hue of red. The likes of which only shows when his irises are hit by moonlight or a light of similar spectral consistency. He has a tri-pronged vertical scar upon his left cheek running over his eye; received by Seiki Arashi during their duel, moderate length brown hair, and ears that are slightly pointed at their tips. Masumata wears his custom captain's haori over his black Shihakusho.

Facial

Full body

Age:269

Class: Shinigami - Lieutenant, Seventh Division

History: Having become an orphan following his parents' deaths; Hiro, born Rein Tokiwa, was adopted into the Masumata family at age three. Thus, as Hiro Masumata, grew up in the Masumata mansion in Seireitei. Being the only child of Kiri and Genjeiru Masumata, Hiro's youth was consumed by countless hours of training. An attempt by Genjeiru to prepare his son for the day he would become the head of the Clan. Thus, Hiro was home schooled and never attended the Shino academy.

Approximately One-hundred years ago, Hiro got his first taste of real battle when an small group of traitorous shinigami attempted to assassinate his family. Although he was able to fend off and even kill a few of the attackers, it was his adoptive father who ultimately drove them back. Albiet at the expense of his life. Leaving a widowed Kiri in command of the small yet wealthy clan. Sadly, Genjeiru's loss eventually proved to much for the woman. Hence, on the thirty-third anniversary of his death, Kiri forfeited her life. Leaving the fate of the Masumata Clan in young Hiro's hands.

Approx. A Sixty-five years ago, Hiro fell in love with a shinigami by the name of Ai Tashimoto, who was a commoner from Rukongai. Five years later, when she had graduated from the Shino Academy, Hiro proposed to Ai. Whom agreed to marry him. Outraged by his actions, Hiro's uncle, Junta, took immediate action to prevent 'further tainting of the Masumata bloodline'. As an result, Hiro was challenged - or rather ambushed by Junta and his loyalists to a duel to the death. However, as he was about to deliver the finishing blow, one of Junta's henchmen threw Ai between the two. Causing Hiro's blade to strike her instead, ending her life. In a blind rage, he slaughtered his uncle as well as his three companions.

While he was not persecuted for their deaths, killing them had lost him the favor of the other Noble families. Soon after, on the graves of his parents and lover, he swore that he would never let someone he cared for fall ever again.

Roughly thirty years ago, Hiro became a Lieutenant and was placed in Nanabantai, the Seventh Division.

Details: Hiro wears an small silver medallion which bears the symbol of the Masumata Clan upon it. It is kept hidden beneath his clothing (Refer to third symbol after quote).

• Immense Reiryoku: Hiro has been noted to possess an enormous amount of inherent spiritual power, the likes of which he is capable of finely controlling. Although Hiro's reiryoku level is not overly spectacular, it is considered to be above the usual level of the average captain-class shinigami.[/*]
• Incredible Reiatsu: Despite only possessing an above average degree of reiryoku for some one of his rank, Hiro's reiryoku, when exerted, is his highly concentrated. As an result, his reiatsu levels are far superior to that of the average lieutenant's. Hence, while those whom possess an exceptional level of reiatsu themselves are often spared its effects, most shinigami of lower caliber are susceptible to his reiatsu's side effects. Which situationally include, parylization, fear induction, and phantom pain affliction. However, the severity of these conditions can vary depending on the individual affected, as well as in accordance to the size of the gap in power between Hiro and themselves.[/*]
• Pathetic Kido Ability: Hiro is incapable of casting even the simplest of kido spells. While this is due mostly to a general lack of interest in the aforementioned. Thus is, in theory, remediable, Hiro currently shows no interest in doing so.[/*]
• Zanjutsu Grandmaster: Like most members of the Masumata Clan, Hiro specializes in swordsmanship. Trained since he could walk in the art of Zanjutsu, Hiro's talent with a sword is one of excedingly rare quality. Despite his relatively young age, Hiro is capable of effectively fighting ambidextrously with anything which even remotely resembles a sword. Both when dual and single wielding. While he does not yet consider himself to be at his peak, there are currently very few individuals in the Soul Society whose skill with a blade equals, or surpasses his own.
  
  Hiro's preferred method of combat is the Masumata Clan Zanjutsu centered style Known as Warutsu. Warutsu, also known as the Extirpating waltz, is a combative form that simultaneously utilizes elements of hakuda, and hoho to improve the effectiveness of one's zanjutsu. It forces the practitioner to view their zanpakuto as an extension of their physical being. Both by encouraging movements that wouldn't normally be applied while using zanjutsu, as well as movements that are frequently used, in order to keep the opponent on their toes.
  
  Unlike traditional styles, Warutsu also uses Hakuda as a means of reinforcing and empowering each of the weapon's movements. Much in the same way it uses Hoho to increase the speed at which the practitioner is capable of acting and reacting. Both with and without a weapon. Due to this, the practitioner is capable of utilizing an unorthodox and wildly unpredictable style to maximize damage while simultaneously minimizing potential risks. Warutsu also allows Hiro to switch between traditional and non-traditional styles on the fly. Allowing him to be widely versatile.[/*]
• Hakuda Master: Due to the nature of his training growing up, as well as personal efforts on his part, Hiro's skill in Hakuda is noted to be formidable. While he isn't physically stronger than an active shinigami of his size and build, his intimacy with hand to hand combat makes him a difficult foe in a brawl. Skilled in many forms of martial arts, Hiro is a very well rounded fighter whom is just as capable of dishing damage out, as he is of withstanding it. [/*]
• Impressively Intellictual: Hiro has always possessed the inherent ability to adapt to and learn things fairly quickly. Thus, has never struggled to understand an new or unfamiliar phenomenon. Because it is also in his nature to think somewhat analytically, Hiro has proven himself capable of effectively dissecting and evaluating situations with minimal effort. A trait which he best exemplifies during combat.[/*]
• Incredibly Knowledge: Hiro has taken it upon himself to be as well informed about the world as is feasibly possible. Hence can often appear to be a know it all when it comes to general facts about most things. However, his area of mental expertise is in what he calls 'battle strategics'. Which involves knowing specific information about possible combative inquiries. Involving things such as weaponry, combative shinigami and hollow techniques (passive and aggressive), the combative abilities of both shinigami and hollows (passive and aggressive), various locations within the Soul Society, the capabilities of his fellow shinigami (within reason), and the relationships between them. [/*]
• Hoho Master: Hiro has long been noted as being one of the Soul Society's most proficient Hoho users. While he is not the fastest by far in his normal state. He is capable of easily out pacing the average high caliber shinigami. More notably though, is his high level of inherent flexibility, maneuverability and reflexes. As he has been seen executing physical maneuvers which most shinigami would struggle to perform with relative ease. [/*]

It should also be noted that although generally discreet about it, Hiro possesses a strong degree of hate towards Hollows and Hollow-kind. This hate is especially strong when dealing with Arrancar. Although it is publicly unknown exactly why he developed such a hate for them, said hate is so vivid that he will often attack any being in possession of hollow-esque reiatsu immediately and without hesitation.

---Zanpakuto/Powers---

Name: Kagirinai / That which never ends

Type:Unclassified

Sealed appearance: In it's sealed state, Kagirinai appears as an silver wedding band embedded with rubys and diamonds. A form which mimics the wedding band Hiro was to receive from Ai.

See here

Inner world: Hiroshi's Inner world is his mental depiction of the end of the universe, or it's heat death. It consists only of the last star in the Universe, which he refers to as the Cold Star, sitting on the edge of a Time dilating Vortex that prevents the Universe from actually ending. It represents the constant inner struggle within Hiro. Who is frequently torn between his desire to protect those he loves and destroy those he hates. According to Kagirinai, his reluctance to forget Ai is also reflected in this depiction as well.

See Here

Spirit appearance: Kagirinai often appears as an human-like female figure with long red hair. She wears an seductively form-fitting attire constructed from leaves and vines, and possesses palely fair skin. Kagirinai's eyes are a luminous green color with white sclerae in this form. Alternatively, when angered, Kagirinai will sometimes appear as an enormous black scaled dragon adorned with crimson rose petals as fur, and vines as tails. Her eyes glow a solid and scorching yellow in this state. Which is her true form.

Human

Dragon

Shikai apperance: During Shikai Kagirinai's appearance becomes that of an rose hilted sword. The handle of which of comprised of hard, bark-like vines. The wrist guard is made up of a large fully bloomed red rose, while the blade is composed of a braided shaft of intertwined vines which bear hundreds of sharp thorns upon its surface. Despite its appearance, the entire weapon is sturdy enough to survive blows from even the sharpest of swords. Although it does sustain aesthetic damage, Kagirinai is able to constantly and rapidly repair itself. The blade tears away at its target as opposed to cutting through it.

Shikai command: Root yourself, Kagirinai.

Shikai Special Ability: Kagirinai has the ability to absorb reiatsu and convert it into physical matter. Primarily photosynthetic organisms. Although these constructs take on the likeness of various plants, because they are made entirely of reiryoku, they operate as many kido spells do. Thus are highly resistant to most physical confrontations, yet susceptible to reiatsu based attacks and interruptions.

Passive Abilities:

• Kyuujin: (Absorption) - Kagirinai allows Hiro to use Photokinetic Regeneration. Allowing him to absorb light and use it to heal himself in a process similar to photosynthesis. The rate at which he heals is determined by both the severity of the wound as well as the available amount of external light. As Hiro is not able to absorb any light produced by another shinigami or an zanpakuto. It should be noted that the proficiency of this ability is greatly increased when Kagirinai is exposed to direct sunlight. As well as nullified when no external light source is present. I.E. when he is within complete and utter darkness.
  [/*]

Active Abilities:

• Moyasu: (Burn) - Hiro aims the tip of his zanpakuto at his target and slashes the space before him. As he does this, reiatsu is channeled along the blade, which strongly vibrates during the motion. This lets each slash launch a torrent of acid towards the desired target. This acid possesses strong penetrating properties, thus is capable of eating through most inanimate objects. Said acid also inflicts severe burns upon contact with the target's skin. Prolonged or excessive exposure can result in dismemberment and/or death.[/*]

Hiroshi Masumata

Soul Society - Seventh Division Barracks

"- that is what it means to have 'strength'."

Miyako Kita's eyes darted over the many faces that stood around her. Some were bored, either because they were forced to come here or because they were more eager in fighting themselves, but the majority of the collected Shinigami listened to Lieutenant Masumata's words intently. Fortunately, Masuamata was a man of action and not one of words, and he soon declared the first match. Anxiously, she watched him stretch a bit before arriving at the arena. A smile lined her lips -for a moment- and then she flash stepped into the arena herself. Unbinding her scarf before she tossed it to the side.

Hence she stood in front of Masumata, her face stern and concentrated, not betraying any of the headache-inducing, organisational stuff flying through her mind. Yet, a self directed 'no' served to refocus her mind.

The shinigami put her hands together and bowed.

With his eyes trained upon the blonde, Hiroshi studiously raised a brow. It was only after he had returned Kita's bow, that he spread his legs to shoulder length, adapting a deep squat as he shifted his upper body slightly to his left. Keeping his feet squarely facing Kita as he curled his left palm into an lose upwards facing fist. As he pulled the hand towards him, tucking it against his side at waist height, Hiro also let his right arm fall limp before him. Letting it dangle between his knees as he stood on the balls of his feet and eyed his subordinate with an lax yet studious gaze. The result being an low stance which left him poised to strike, whilst sturdy enough to easily defend.

He exhaled as he stood in wait.

With just a few meters distance between them, Kita remained at his from. She decided to adopt a front stance. Her left leg went forward, and it was bent slightly at the knee, while the right leg went behind her, creating a small distance of one and a half shoulder's width. She balled her hands into fist, and raised them before her torso, making sure that every inch of her body was in the correct position.

She inhaled. She exhaled. She inhaled. And she lunged.

As she lunged forward, Hiroshi took a breath. Resting his eyes upon hers as she approached him. It was only after she had closed the gap and made her attempt to strike him, that the man shifted his weight. Letting his left knee slam into the floor. Causing her fist, which was meant to impact his right collar bone, to sail just past the area between his shoulder and neck.

There was no hesitation. The instant his knee had hit the floor, Hiro had shot his left fist towards the girl's ribs. Attempting to deliver an uppercut into them at the same moment that her strike would have just missed him. Though he did not throw all his force into it, hoping to avoid breaking her ribs, the speed of his attack combined with her own moment, would easily leave her side bruised if it were to hit.

In the heat of battle, one must realize that knowing is futile, and sensing is bliss.

The fraction of the second in which Hiro moved just a few milimeters to the side was enough for Kita to realize that she wouldn't hit. What she had to sense now was what Hiro would do next.

His left fist. The automatisms of instinct kicked in and Kita's steady right arm dashed to block his attack on her ribs. Her hand made contact with his wrist, yet it still hurt somewhat. Regardless, controlled pain – or rather, a bit of aching in the hand – was preferable to whatever that blow would have done to her ribs.

In what appeated to be a moment of panic, she flash stepped two meters away. That attack failed, and thus distance had to be created, or she'd risk getting trapped by her Lieutenant. Her chest heavy yet slim frame ressumed the aforementioned stance.

Satisfied with the fact that Kita had managed to block his attack, Hiro quickly bounced back to his feet when the shinigami flash stepped away. Instantly, he began to sway his entire body back and forth rhythmically. Maneuvering his feet pseudo triangularly as his arms alternated between a high guard before his face, and a mid guard before his torso as he moved from side to side. Moving in a manner similar to that of a Capoeira Ginga.

He repeated this twice before skillfully launching himself into a shunpo. Seemlessly closing the gap between Kita and himself before he begun to strike. Remaining low to the ground, Hiro immediately attempted a forward leg sweep as he exited his flash step. Hoping to sweep her legs out from under her, leaving her off balance long enough for him to follow up with an additional strike.

Having sparred with him before, the girl observed her lieutenant's footwork. Feeling as if she was aware of what he was planning, despite the fact the she obviously could not be sure. Yet when the flash step came, she managed to jump into the air just in time.

In her mind, this was an excellent moment. A moment to show her progress in both Hakuda and Hoho. She bent her legs, turned mid-air so that she positioned horizontally to the ground. Then she unbent her legs again, intent on kicking Hiroshi in the face.

However, when Kita had jumped up, Hiro smirked. Sure, going airborne was usually a solid way of avoiding an attack, but it was also the best way to become vulnerable. Keeping his momentum, the brunette continued through the motion of the sweep. Using the force he had put behind it as a propellant, Hiro then pushed off of the ground with one hand and swung himself onto the same foot he had previously used to attack with.

Spinning about to face Kita just as she begun to unbend her legs, Hiro proceeded to swing his left foot up towards Kita's own feet. Using his foot to intercept her strike as he executed an axe kick. If the counter went as planned, she be knocked of balance by his kick's follow through. Allowing Hiro to leap of off his right leg and deliver a right flying knee towards the woman's abdomen. She grew verbal.

“Shit.”

The mistake wasn't that her leg was blocked, but rather, that in that instance, her body wasn't sure how to react. Hestitating means losing control. Thus, Kita let out a grunt when his knee connected with her abdomen. Yet conversely, the blow was enough for her to regain control of her own body.

This time Kita decided she would not wait after creating distance, and so flash stepped to the side of the room - four meters away from the her opponent. Then at the moment a single foot made the slightlest contact with the ground, she flash stepped again. Behind him, she attempted a leg swipe.

When she vanished, Hiroshi readied himself. Quickly raising his arms infront of him readily in a loose and attentive stance. With his eyes, he followed her movements as she reappeared only to vanish again. However, just as he sensed her reiatsu behind him, something within his mind clicked - causing him to experience a sudden sensation of familiarity.

Ai.

For a moment, Hiro's body weakened. In that same instance, the world grew dull to him as his mind threw itself back in time. Remembering the first time he had sparred with his deceased fiancé. Almost everything in the way she moved on that day was now mirrored in Kita's movements. The shinigami felt his heart ache at the thought of his lost. Then his mind clicked once more.

Kita.

By the time he realized his error, it was too late. He could feel himself fall off balanced as his feet fell out from under him. A painful smack resounding from beneath him as he collapsed to the floor. Hitting the back of his head in the progress. He groaned.

"Shit."

While she had clearly both seen and heard his body hitting the floor, for a moment she was surprised. Genuinely surprised. It wasn't that she didn't try, but she felt that she wasn't supposed, and couldn't win. The crowd stayed in silence for a moment until the designated referee raised the signal that this battle was, indeed, over.

Recomposing hersrlf, she stretched out her hand towards Masumata. Her mind still pining over her success.

Perhaps this was just an odditiy, something that just happened due to the pure factor of chance and forutne. The girl refused to believe he could ever do this on purpose. Infact, she was sure. There had to be something else, but...

“Are you alright?”

Despite his loss, Hiro sat up. While he was internally disappointed with himself, when Kita offered him a hand, he accepted. Returning to his feet before reassuring her of his state. He moved as to summon one of the many Jugokucho which actively fluttred about the gardens surrounding the barracks.

"I'm alright." He lied.
