【Personal Info】
【Name: Kanai Akio
【Nicknames: Kid
【Alias: Hato(鳩 Dove)
【Age: 380
【Age Appearance: 19
【Gender: Male
【Race: Shinigami
【Former Rank: Lieutenant
【Former Division: 8th Division
【Additional Appearance Info: Kanai stands at the short height of 5'6 and weighs around 175lbs. He has purple hair and hazel eyes, his hair is shaved at the sides leaving him with a long Mohawk on the top of his head. He wears a Shihakushō with a white long sleeve undershirt, the right sleeve on his Shihakushō is cut off. He wears a purple sash the same color as his hair and his zanpakuto is kept on his left side.
【Biography: Kanai was brough to the rukongai after being hit by a car while arguing with his parents. He came to one of the lower districts and become a fighter, learning how to fight to survive, not only with harsh people but in harsh climates. He did find a family after his first few years of being there, an elderly couple, who took him in and raised them as their son. He still went out and fought in matches, he would win, and bring home the little money he earned to help support his family.
He got caught sneaking in one night by his old man, and the man gave him an ultimatum; either enroll to become a shinigami or he was going to call the authorities the next time he went out to fight. So to respect the man that had taken him in he wen to school. He had never been socially acclimated so dealing with others and their smiles, likes and dislikes, attitudes and issues, all of this and more really pissed him so he stopped trying and caring. He stopped trying to be friendly and stopped caring about how other people felt. He quickly began to learn and gain an aptitude for kido and zanjutsu. Not really doing well at all with hakuda and hoho, more like failing, the boy was better with his fist and words than with a sword. He became an underdog all through out his time at Shino Academy. Not once ever getting the respect he deserved, and this hardened his heart even further.
Years later he had become a shinigami and was offered a position in the 8th Division, by the former lieutenant. The man felt that even though he was fierce as bloody lion he was a soft white Dove on the inside hence the nickname turned calling card. He would throw himself into training and work, even though he had pretty good standing in hakuda (due to his shikai) his talent lied in his massive reiryoku and kido. He was told by his mentor, the former 8th Division lieutenant, that if he could learn to control it he would step down and let him have his seat. So that motivated him to train harder and move forward, still keeping all his anger and soon he began to climb seat after seat until he was the 3rd seat. When Kanai and his mentor were sent out on a mission they got ambushed by a multitude of hollows and his mentor died. Kanai went on a rampage and went wild, when he returned the only thing he had was body of his only friend.
A year after he became the lieutenant things started to sizzle down and things got relatively quiet. Then the down fall of the captains set in and Kanai last order was to stay alive. Now the resistance is forming and he was one of the first to sign up. He needed to avenge those that where taken from him, plus this defeat is causing a major drift between him and his zanpakuto and it was only getting worse with each day. He wants to help get back the Gotei 13 and earn his position as Captain.
【Personality: Kanai is a mean person, he has a habit to snap at most and he is not the one to suffer the weak. Kanai feels like this is a dog eat dog world and treats everyone as such, he can't stand people who are to happy or to sad, most of the time he thinks they are weird and just faking it. Never one to sugar coat anything, Kanai like to tell it how it is and is not afraid to tell it anyone but his superiors. Kanai he knows to understand the chain of command but even then still earned a reputation as a "busier" and "rebel" for his attitude alone. There is a soft side for the ladies at times but even then he can be a insensitive jerk, and not a as sensitive as he should be. He is not the lazy sort though, and despite his colleagues teasing he can work with others as long as they are "tolerable" as he calls them.
His captain was the only one who cold reign him in once he got started but they worked good together, its evens aid he was the only one who had seen him smile. As a leader he could not stand laziness and would make sure everything ran like clock work, his old captain appreciated it greatly and would only step in if it got out of hand. Kanai is not a bad leader, he has a "no man left behind" mentality but if you are dying already he will be the first to put you out of your misery.

【Capabilities】
【General Aptitude】
Fighting Style:
Kanai is an up close and personal fighter. During his early years one might think that he would specialize in hakuda but he grew accustomed zanjutsu early on. So much that he was offered a position in the 11th Division when he first joined the Gotei 13 but declined the offer. Along with his zanjutsu he also began his study of even stronger kido. Due to his high level of reiryoku his spiritual presence is very large as well, even though he has tried to he is still training on how to control it better. He is such a good swordsman the he prefers to use a mixture of kido and zanjutsu than using his zanpakuto, only because hey do not "agree" at times. He is no shunpo master and knows the basic techniques to keep him going throughout the fight. Kanai is the type to engage the enemy defensively to get a feel for them, their capabilities and over all mental state. Then he begins to formulate a plan on how to tear down his enemy. Now he is easily revoked and if his enemy pushes his buttons in the right place then they can overcome his tactical mind. He has a amazing stamina from years of having to deal with long and tiresome fights, but he can only take so many over powering hits. Average wear and tear thought a fight,like a cut or bruise is fine but an overwhelming kido or bankai will cut his strength in half.

【Zanpakuto】
Sealed State
~"They're the type to walk silently and carry a big stick"~
Inner World & Spirit:
Description: Kanai's inner world is a giant lake as far as the eye can see with a close moon stuck in a state of half setting. The moon is big bright and white. At the middle there lies a wooden walkway similar to the design of the Ugendō Quarters in the 13th Division. This walkway makes a square and at the center of this square is a small garden with a cherry blossom tree that stays in bloom. Iro can be found at the center while Kami roams the walkways.
Zanpakuto Personality:
Kanai has two female zanpakuto that show off the different sides of his true personality. One side of his personality is colorful, and carries the full rage of emotions it is him in honest raw feeling, it is his core, she is Iro. While the other guards his inner self, and protects them with a stone cold, emotionless embrace, she is Shōkyo suru. Together they are a hard duo to handle, both are quiet but tend to do outrageous things in their own right, and Kanai learned the hard way if you let your guard down they wont hesitate to strike. He learned the best way to handle them was to separate them and move from there
Shikai
~"Paint a Masterpiece 'Iro'(Color色), Cleanse the canvas 'Shōkyo suru'(Erase消す)"~
Ability: After Kanai says the words to awaken his shikai, it glows white, separates and becomes two swords. The plain blade is Shōkyo suru and with every cut to an opponent absorbs their reiatsu, while Iro disperses the reiatsu in different colors each with different properties. Shōkyo suru drains at the same rate a wound kills, if she makes a small cut among the arm, blood wont poor out, but reiatsu will instead and the blade "erases" it from existence by absorbing it. A small cut will yield small reiatsu, while a gash or stab can cause a great drain depending on the enemy. Iro can release the reiatsu in different colors that carry elemental properties: red (fire), blue (ice), yellow (air), the sword also changes color when the reiatsu changes as well.
Techniques
Akai surasshu ("Red Slash" 赤いスラッシュ):
Burūsumasshu ("Blue Smash" ブルースマッシュ):
Eakattā ("Air Cutter" エアカッター)
Howaitoauto ("White Out" ホワイトアウト)
At the instant of the slash, Iro, absorbing Shōkyo suru, stolen spiritual energy, releases highly condensed spiritual energy at the tip of the blade, which, magnifying the slash attack, flies forward. The slash is red and burns like fire, and it can be done horizontally and vertically.
Burūsumasshu ("Blue Smash" ブルースマッシュ):
Kanai smashes Iro into the ground and they blade changes color to blue. Using the stolen spiritual energy, Iro makes all the ground in a 15ft radius around Kanai glow blue and then turn to ice. The ground becomes slippery, breakable, and melt-able.
Eakattā ("Air Cutter" エアカッター)
Kanai makes a horizontal slash with Iro and it releases a crescent air slash (or wave shape) that can cut through stone. Iro will change colors to yellow and the air is also yellow.
Howaitoauto ("White Out" ホワイトアウト)
The only ability that Shōkyo suru has; every slash, cut, and wound that she makes on anyone does not bleed blood but releases reiatsu. The more fatal the wound the more reiatsu is absorbed. The reiatsu does continue to flow out just like blood does eventually coagulate, but if the wound is in a fatal enough spot then it will take longer to heal. The reiatsu flows out from the targeted area with a white color and in liquid form. Once his shikai is deactivated the wounds close and disappear.
