Bleach: A New Dawn

are there any other squad five character? and are you RPing this mysterious red haired man?

Bleach: A New Dawn

Gio's eye twitched, damn this man was dense "thats not what i meant. as a Shinigami my duties are simple. However a your third seat they become more numerous. since we had no captain until now i was doing the logistics, trainings, missions, reports and stuff that is normally the responsibility of the captain and the lieutenant. Im asking, since you dont have a lieutenant, do you need me to continue doing some of these things still or will I be a normal 3rd seat leading groups and missions? " Gio clarified hoping it would help him get a clearer answer before leaving. no shit his job was to follow orders, so much for a quick answer. He and Gio were going to get long real well....

Mok was writing on a piece of paper, although it wasn't for work purposes, and on closer inspection of the paper, it was more so a ranking sheet of everyone in the squad from what he had seen so far. Halfway through it he heard a knock on the door, which was annouced to be Gio, which made Mok hide the paper in one of his capsules and then allowed him to enter. "Yes Gio, what is it that you need?"

Gio entered the Captains office, “Captain, I was hoping you might clarify my responsibilities and duties.” There was no real need for him to say anything about what he had been doing, or why he had been doing. The Captain, hopefully, had enough common sense to figure it out on his own. Gio just needed the record set straight so that he could be productive in the squad. He glanced around the office, it was bigger than his, but even though he had been in this squad for over a year he never actually looked in here. It was surprisingly well maintained for how long it had been vacant, but finally having a Captain sitting at that desk was a strange comfort even though Gio wasn’t really sure why.

Hmm ok. thanks.

Bleach: A New Dawn

out of Curiosity. what was the name of the head captain before the Site went down?

So Kiesa had been training with the lieutenant. Sinai found that intriguing, hopefully she would be able to find someone to train under as well. but for now she was just happy to be accepted. She nodded "thank you" to the Lieutenant as she departed but turned towards Kiesa "Kiesa was it? um... thank you for well the spar. it helped me realize a few things so um...thank you" Sinai didnt want to keep her, but she wanted to at least express her gratitude for the experience. Niether of them relied on their shikai, in fact Sinai was never asked about Shikai. She kind of figured that it wasnt really important since she was unseated still. Besides as much as she loved her zanpaukto, she loved the thrill of hakuda just as much. She knew she had a lot to learn, and a lot of growing to do but on the inside she hoped to have the opportunity to spar with Kiesa again. For now it was probably a good idea to get a feel of the place, learn her way around and stuff like that.

After Gio had stuffed his face, he found himself bored. Everyone else in the squad was still reeling from either just having fought hollows or day one of training under Captain Mok, but Gio only cooked. He felt slightly gypped in that regard. While he could go find hollow on his own like he used to he decided to go to his new captain instead. Gio wasn’t in charge, and now answered to someone directly, so his actions needed a bit more discretion, at least for now. He probably should also ask about what responsibilities he will be retaining. Most, if not all the responsibilities fell on Gio because there was no Captain or lieutenant. But now there was a Captain. As a seated officer he role was theoretically just to lead sub-units and kill hollow. But since there was no lieutenant it was possible he would still maintain those duties as well. But all in all it was up to Captain Mok. So Gio went to find the man in his office. He knocked twice and announced himself before waiting for a response.

Keisa's headbutt didn't land, instead Sinai shunpo'ed away. Keisa just stood up straight and watched Sinai without any expression, always looking neutral. She waited for Sinai to make her next move, sheathing her Katana when she noticed Sinai sheathed hers since the only reason she was using her blade was to block Sinai's blade and stop Sinai from cutting her. The woman didn't need her Katana to spar. After a little time, Sinai began dashing towards Keisa, in which Keisa stood still and awaited her approach. Sinai then jumped, Keisa's eyes following Sinai's body as she flew above her. While Sinai was in the air, Keisa bent her knees, preparing herself for something. Then Sinai's Hado hit her left shoulder. Keisa's left shoulder moved back but her right shoulder moved forward in turn, then just as Sinai landed, Keisa launched forward into a sprint towards Sinai, following the woman with her eyes as she darted for Keisa once more. While Keisa was running, she was planning to grab Sinai's face with her right hand, however Sinai moved to her left, preparing to punch. Keisa used this as an opportunity to aim a punch to Sinai's face instead while turning her body to the right a little, causing Sinai's fist to only brush passed her side, just about missing.Rio stood with her arms crossed the whole time, watching the spar. She was indeed rather pleased with what she was watching. Sinai seemed to show potential, just as most Shinigami would, however it seemed Sinai needed to work on calculating her opponent out while fighting, more than stopping and giving them a window to prepare for her next attack or attack themselves. This wasn't really a problem so it didn't bother Rio, overall she felt that Sinai was a good candidate for the Squad. Feeling that she had seen enough, Rio decided that Sinai's next move would be the last of this spar, she had enough information to aid her in her decision on whether or not to let Sinai join the Squad.

Sinai continued forward even as Kiesa moved toward her. What looked like an imminent clash turned out differently. Sinai saw the punch aiming for her face, so she tried to move. moving her head took a instant too long and the fist went against her cheek but it wasn't enough to deter her. She continued forward coming face to face literally with Kiesa. While her first Punch only grazed her opponent it basically insured that her following Punch, an uppercut to Kiesa's mid section, would at least connect. Infighting was most effective with multiple strikes, so she threw three more strikes at this intimate range, the last a palm strike intending to create a distance. At that close a range Sinai could have hit harder, aimed for kidneys, or even drew her zanpakuto for a kill since it was small in length, but this was just a spar. hopefully enough to get her in the squad. and because it was a spar she did not keep attacking, as her past would have preferred. She simply steadied her stance once again.

[Male | Age 20| Si Wong Dessert]

Nicias is an Eclectic Earthbender from the Dessert, which technically made him a sandbender. This fun, adventure loving young adult is more than your run of the mill scavenger. He is a survivor having braved the dessert many times in search of food where his tribe dared not go. Don’t let his smile fool you, he’s been through a lot. He’s got a level head on his shoulders unfortunately there is no heart of gold.

Traits
[indent]His sand bending is much more proficient than his earthbending skills due to that fact that he lives in the dessert. He is capable of most of the normal earthbending level abilities. In terms of sandbending he exhibits much more versatility.

Sandslide- by shifting the earth underneath his feet he can slide across the ground as ifher were skateboarding.

He is a thief, he doesn’t advertise it but he’s a thief.

Relations

Kiev- older brother
Shya- Niece
Rest of Sandbending tribe- Kinsman

History

He and his brother were born to a couple in a sandbender tribe. They grew up in the culture and the heat learning how to survive. Both brothers were adept sandbenders, their survival depended on it. When Nicias was 9, their tribe was hit by a monstrous sandstorm. It wiped out a third of the tribe, among the dead or missing were his parents. The tribe leaders quickly declared that the storm was a test from the dessert itself, proof that only the strong survive. For years that statement infuriated him, and drove him into stupid and reckless decisions. But he was strong, so it seemed, and he survived.

6 years later, at the age of 15, his tribe faced another crisis, Tribal war. The unrest of the world had spilled into the dessert, making survival even more difficult for tribes. Some sought out the tribes as a refuge, others as a source of security or strength. By this time Nicias’ tribe was one of the smaller tribes, so they were caught between the two main conflicting tribes. When finally pulled into the conflict Nicias served as a raider, he and several others had the lovely job of being dessert thieves. Stealing food, supplies and information from other tibes by whatever means necessary. Sometimes it was a full out assault. Other times a more stealthy approach. Hitting trade routes was also a good way of getting food and supplies.

Despite all the effort, they were ultimately on the losing side 1 year later. His tribe was forcefully disbanded and scattered through the victor tribes. He remained with his brother and his family. However it was not a life he could live, so he left at age 16, to Omashu. unfortunately his life was barely different, He fell in with a ring of thieves. His abilities came in handy from time to time but over the next 4 years he learned many ways to steal.

Now he and many others are fed up with the Police and taxes. They have taken to stealing from the ‘rich’ and hiding the money. They only take enough from it to pay the taxes to remain anonymous. Its their intention to pull the upperclass down to the lower class but a couple of their members got caught. Its unlikely that they will snitch but the Money has been moved just in case. On his way home one afternoon Nicias heard about the Rising again? More people pissed off at the Phoenix kingdom.

Miscellaneous

he has a sand pouch, similar to how water benders have water pouches
