EDIT ADDITION: I've decided to allow changes to each character as we play. Allowing players to allow their character to become one of the following....Visored (a Soul Reaper that has acquired Hollow powers), A Hollow (Menos level if wanted and which could lead to the following), Arrancar (Hollow that has removed their hollow mask and gained Soul Reaper-like powers)

Please follow this format for your character sheet:

Character Name:
Nickname: (optional)
Age:
Class Year: (You can play as a character in a lower class, but 5th and 6th years are perferred)
Discription of Apperance: (Can be done via picture, but height and weight can't be seen in the pick nor can what uniform they wear)
Personality: (What makes your character unique and tick)
Character Background: (please make this atleast 2 paragraphs in detail)
Zanpakutō Name: (translation if in another language please)
Zanpakuto Background/History (if the weapon has strange characteristics that you would like to add or a history to it that you want to give it, please feel free, it is optional, NOT REQUIRED)
Zanpakuto Apperance: (what the sword looks like as a weapon, and its physical apperance)
Zanpakuto Abilities: (Please put these in two different spoiler categorizes as Shikai and Bankai, what does the weapon look like in it's respected forms aswell as name the attack of the weapon in its respected forms) (seeing how each character is a Student, being able to obtain Shikai status now with your Zanpakuto is very rare, if you would like to have that "unlocked" for your character please give a GREAT reason as to why) (Also note that if you are wanting to add two powers to the stages of your Shikai and/or Bankai can be done but please don't make it too overpowering. As of making your character, both Shikai and Bankai are "locked" so please state that you haven't gotten to the levels yet)

[HIDE][/HIDE]If unlocking a shikai is very rare it seems like they'll never dream of unlocking bankai.

Character Name: Leonidas Tanaka
Nickname: Leo
Age: 16 (is that appropriate for a 5th year?)
Class Year: 5th
Discription of Apperance:anime bro 2.jpg Height: 5'8'' Weight: 135 lbs.
Personality: An eotional and generally suave guy. He knows how to sweet talk anyone and isn't afraid to play dirty if he needs to for a win. He knows how to keep wheels from squeaking after an underhanded deal but tends to use this skill for the betterment of himself and society.
Zanpakutō Name: Kamisori Boomer-an (razor boomerang)
Zanpakuto Background/History: nah
Zanpakuto Apperance: in it's unreleased form the blade is a three and a half foot katana with a diamond guard and a blood red grip. The spirit form of the blade is a cobra with steel fangs and a sharp, pointed, double-edged blade for a tail.
Zanpakuto Abilities:
Shikai: when released with the call 'vanquish', it turns into a grass-cutter connected by an unbreakable razor wire to a demon style wind shuriken. The weapon in this form can control small particles (of whatever may be laying around, i.e. sand, dust, or even broken glass) to blind an unsuspecting opponents.

Bankai: instead of being triggered by the soul reaper's usual and simplistic 'bankai' command, this bankai is activated by a second command 'frenzy' and the blade turns into many small throwing knives with razor wire attached to them which launch to entangle the opponent and then proceed to shock whomever is caught in their web with a dose of electricity ranging from static to lethal.

Character background: From the lower-middle class the soul society, Leo had a strong spiritual pressure but was commonly pushed around by some rougher kids. He always had disdain for injustice and bullies on any level, big or small. This led Leo to enter the academy. He hasn't much talent for the 'hado' part of kido but is one of the best 'bakudo' performers in his class, if not the best.


My computer was being difficult so I apologize for the lack of spoiler tags

[NecroNama]

They could reach that level if the story gets to that point.....

Age is fine since he could have skipped a year for some reason.....

My computer went screwy too and didn't let me add "Character Background" the the character sheet, I apologize for that.

Could you find a way to translate your weapons name please.

Do you know that each Zanpaktou has a physical apperance, as in it could look like a human or animal....you left that out of the Zanpaktou Apperance part

[Ace_of_hearts]

Oh, that's what you meant by zanpakuto appearence. I'll add that and translate.

Character Name: Damian Li Rain

Nickname: N/A

Age:17

Class Year: 6th Year

Discription of Apperance: 5'11" 165 lbs, slightly muscular
http://images.picturesdepot.com/photo/a/anime_boy_white_hair-31594.jpg

Personality: Shy by nature, he tends to try to float in the background where ever he is and tries not to get in the middle of anything. He has a nack of trying to do things himself but will understand if help is needed, isn't rash nor full of himself. When he talks to others, his voice is deep-ish and uses short sentences as best he can. Hates being hot (heat hot).

Character Background: Born in a middle class family, and brought up into the ways of sword fighting by his father as well as spirital training as a young boy, he hardly had time to play with children his own age, thus his shyness. He took to his father's studies and did all he could to follow in his footsteps, but something always lacked within his soul, as if it wasn't his "destiny" to become a member of one of the 13 Court Guard Squads or the other two units within the Soul Society.

Once allowed into the Academy, Damian was moved into the advanced class, but his grades slipped a bit and was sent into the regular class due to his enterance exam grade. He fell into the harshness of the studing he hated for the exams and random tests given to him and his classmates. Since his grades didn't slip after he entered the regular class, he melded in with his classmates and kept his grades level to stay in the middle so as not to be noticed. Never talking to anyone unless he had to, he mainly kept to himself or talked to his sword, which gave him a strange air about him as if he was crazy. As he was given his test grades and afvanced to his 6th and final year, he was a bit relaxed and tried a bit harder to advance his grades and learn more about his Zanpaktou as possible since the year will go by fast just like the others. Damian is skilled when it comes to Zanjutsu (and Kendō), Kidō (Hadō, Bakudō (mainly blocking "spells") and Healing), yet finds Hakuda a bit of a challenge, and has started to understand Hohō (but gets winded easy and quick). As this was seen when he took on live practices (Sparring, situatonal/simulated challenges, and controlled Hollow fights) his rank in class went up from 108 to where he would be within the top 10% of his class of near 217 students due to his instructers saying "With practice, he will be a skilled Soul Reaper.". He spends his free time alone doing Jinzen (blade zen or Zanpakuto training) becoming close to reaching Shikai status with his sword.

Zanpakutō Name: Himitsu-no-faindā (Finder of Secrets)

Zanpakuto Background/History: Said to be a rare Zanpakuto due to it mysterious abilites it is "said" to carry. Once was used by Damian's Father and given to him once entering the Academy due to the Father being too old for combat and the Zanpakuto agreeing to new arrangement. The two do have a relationship but is strange to understand since the sword hilt flashes every so offten followed by Damian saying something as if answering a question.

Zanpakuto Apperance:
Sword ( http://upload.ecvv.com/upload/Produc...9692132385.jpg )
Physical apperance( http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumb...gthumbnail.jpg )

NOTE: Neither level of Zanpakuto release has be reached yet
Shikai: Once activated via saying "Open your eyes" followed by name, the sword grows in lenght by a third of it's orignal size. Its ability is unique as it starts to study the opponent and it's weapon and how they use it, allowing it to think of ways to win the battle, thus the longer the fight, the more time the sword has to formulate it's plan. A slight addition to the weapon in this state is a slight boost in speed, a increase of double the wielders original. For it's main ablity to work, the user must be skilled in combat. A form of attack can be used by the sword but none of it's past users knew of this ability.

Bankai: Once saying "Let loose the secrets of our enemies" followed by saying its true name, the full physical apperance of the sword appears and combinds with the wielder, making them look like the Grimm Reaper himself, sword turns to a scythe with a film on it that if it comes in contact with anyone other then the wielder, they have a total time of 2 minutes (4 posts by the opponet after contact) to get a mile away from wielder or they start to die. Also, like in it's Shikai form, the wielder's speed is increased but up to 3 times it's original speed, and like in the Shikai state, a Unkown single strike can be used but none of the ones that had this sword before have ever found out what it could be.

Character Name: Zeras Galio

Nickname: (optional)

Age: 17

Class Year: 5th

Spoiler: Appearance 

5’11” and weighs 180lbs.

Personality: Has a passion to prove his strength in battle. He is never the one to give up and to excel in everything he does.

Character Background: Coming from the 80th western district, life exactly hasn’t been easy for Zeras. Everyone knew of the districts in soul society, and the 80th in any district is considered the worst of them all. Constantly would Zeras be picked on by other and having to fight, and sometimes even steal just to survive in these horrid conditions. Though he did these things, that didn’t dissuade him from becoming a powerful Shinigami and better himself.

After a long time of fighting and struggling to survive, someone eventually saw his talents and asked Zeras if he would like to join the academy. Zeras was relieved and decided to join. His chance then finally came. Zeras became somewhat popular in the academy. Many liked the person he was and some would even ask him tips because he was shown to be quite intelligent. Once again, his talent was recognized and he was thrown into the advanced classes. The advanced classes were rough on Zeras, but he maintained great grades and is currently in the top 10% in his class.

Being a 5th year, his skills are not quite there yet, but are soon to be getting stronger. The only thing he wants more to do than anything is to take on a mission to show his skills and his worth. Many people wonder why he’s only a 5th year and not even better at times. But Zeras knows himself better than anyone. And his time will come when he’s truly ready. And by that time, he hopes to hear the cry of his Zanpakuto and be able to grow with it.

Zanpakutō Name: Bōkyaku (Oblivion)

Zanpakuto Background/History: This Zanpakuto is very unique and odd in its own respect. The strangest part about this Zanpakuto is that it doesn’t have a past because it is a completely new Zanpakuto. No one knows of its abilities for now.

Zanpakuto Apperance:

Spoiler: Zanpakuto Appearance 

The sword itself is around 4ft and is very light.

Spoiler: Zanpakuto Abilities 

Spoiler: Shikai 

Shikai: Break into the void, Bōkyaku: This ability has 2 distinctive manuevers that allows for 2 methods of battle. The first allows the users Zanpakuto to emit small black crystals out of the sword in a very slow manner. These crystals then allow the users to create miniature space vacuums (black holes) that absorb spiritual energy from attacks or can be used in an offensive matter to collapse into itself once the particals have absorbed enough spiritual energy. The amount of energy they absorb is minimal and depends on how long the person stays around the crystals.

Spoiler: Bankai 

Bankai: Walk into the void, Bōkyaku. This ability is strange and works in an odd way. The ability can’t be used more than once every 10 seconds. The ability allows the character to teleport near a source of spiritual energy by phasing out of reality, making him impervious to physical attacks, sapping the energy by emitting a low damaging aura, and making the user phase back into reality. While absorbing the energy, the energy is then transmitted into his Shikai, making his crystals themselves stronger depending on the energy absorbed.

The sword will emit a red energy during bankai that matches his spiritual energy color.

Spoiler: Sneak Peeks Are Win 

[NecroNama]

@Epostle....When it comes to your Bankai ability, a 5 second delay is a bit fast making it to where one could use it to dodge a attack, then wait until the opponet tries to attack then uses it again to appear behind them and counter attack. A 10 to 15 second delay would be liked, other then that, I don't see any problems.

When it comes to your Shikai, could the crystals/black holes be destroyed in any way? And how much spiritual energy do they absorb at one time (ex. if my character was to touch it, would he become instantly drained of his spirtual energy or would it be slowly drained like a leaky sink?)

After you fix that, your character will be Approved.....

Ace_of_Heart's character is Approved
