[hider=Raizo Arena Version]Name: Raizo Hizure Appearance: [img]https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTmHWQuSiXFpg25TsBqPVHXxJZlQ2jur_a-vyt_flqjER2-H-bQ[/img] Age: 180 Height: 6'2 Weight: 185 lbs. Hair Color: black Eye Color: green Race: shinigami Rank: unseated Spiritual Energy Color: gold Personality: He is a generally quiet individual, but also enjoys saying his mind when in the company of those he trusts. He enjoys being around people he likes and is outspoken then. When around crowds or people he doesn't know, he is uncomfortable. Women in general make him uncomfortable, but he can talk to them like normal. He dislikes vain people who think themselves better than others. He is a fighter at heart and loves nothing more than a good battle. When he is around others he will avoid conflict, but if someone does something such as threaten an innocent he becomes very angry. History: He grew up in the soul society as a slave. The war on all fronts had taken all but the youngest of his family. He was found and taken for a slave. He worked for a middle class family. He was not mistreated, but he was not treated as an equal either. Mostly he was to do chores and be a companion for the family's son. At the age of 100 the other boy died. With that role no longer needed, and the family stricken by grief Raizo was forced to do more arduous tasks. When the man retook the soul society he simply had to wait and bide his time until he could join him. Watching this mans incredible display of strength had inspired him. He wanted to emulate this free man and become a hero like him. A nameless shinigami who the took back the soul society noticed how in his free time he was always attempting to practice sword techniques. These techniques were imperfect and inadequate, but the man saw a burning passion in Raizo. Buying him from the family at the age of 110 he began to raise the boy. Raizo agreed to do whatever the man required so long as he would teach him the way of the blade. For the first 30 years Raizo was allowed to do nothing but train his body. From the time he woke up until he passed out from exhaustion the man made him push his limits. The man was a firm believer that he who landed the first blow always landed the last. Because of this he made Raizo train on his footwork and speed more than anything else. While the boy did become physically stronger his most impoved attribute was always his speed. Finally at the age of 140 Raizo was allowed to begin training with a blade. He was given an unnamed sword like all shinigami are and for the first ten years was allowed to do nothing but meditate with it. On the eight year he contacted his swords spirit. Meeting in her word it was a peaceful lake were they stood atop the water. She told him of herself and he did the same. For the next two years he did nothing but continue to strengthen the bond between himself and his sword through meditation. Finally after ten years he was allowed to perform combat training. His conditioning paid off and he excelled at melee combat. Learning to use advancd sword techniques quite easily. For twenty years he practiced sword techniques and the ability to use speed based moves. Finally at the age of 180 his master has deemed him fit to attempt to join the gotei 13. Other: extreme speed and sword proficiency. He is not the fastest but for his age he is very quick and agile. ~Zanpakuto~ Zanpakuto name: Kogane no raion kiba Type: fire Zanpakuto Shikai Release command: "Fall before the lions fang. Release!

[b]Dragons enigma[/b]He uses his golden spiritual energy to surround his sword. Swinging it at his opponent an enormous golden dragon made of his spiritual energy is shot towards the opponent.

(4 turn cooldown) 5.-ultimate skill- [b]"falling rain"[/b] He flash steps backwards and leaps into the air flipping backwards. When he is in the air many copies of his zanpakuto are created and then thrown at his opponent. Whether they hit or miss the swords remain, though they are just copies and do not have the same abilities as his sword. He can then use these weapons freely, but if another tries to use the copy they will flash in a bright blaze of gold fire and burn them. Skills- He is about three times faster than a normal man and twice as strong. When he releases his shikai he is then four times faster and twice as strong still. When his bankai is released he is 8 times faster than a normal man and three times as strong. He can also use flash step. This is an ability that allows him to quickly move from one area to another almost instantly. It is not quite teleportation, but is very quick. He moves at around 25 times the speed of a normal man when he does it. However he can't attack until the flash step is complete. [/hider]
