Jynmi Imsar

Name:Jynmi Imsar

Appearance:


Age: 415

Gender: Male

Height: 5'10

Weight: 220

Hair Colour: White

Eye Colour: Sky blue

Birthday: September 30

Clan/Family:

Race: Soul

Rank: Captain

Spiritual Energy Colour: Maroon

Personality: Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of a cancer cell, not Jynmi Imsar. To Jynmi the purpose of all creation from now till the end of time is to make existence a little easier, and safety as close to a sure thing as possible. He is a Unitarian, and measures something as successful or not based on how much more happiness it brings to the world. Due to the level of care Jynmi feels for just about everyone he seals himself off from the rest of the world as best he can so he can objectively step back and see the big picture, and let logic guide him instead of his heart.

Jynmi also believes in determinism and so sees everyone, no matter how good or evil as a reaction to the world around them. For that reason the guilty are not guilty because of what they've chosen, but because their continued existence would only bring more misfortune to themselves and others. It is with a heavy heart he vanquishes what must be vanquished.

History: (Would like to be done but can be done later)

Relationships/Friendships/Rivalries/Siblings: Not sure if anyone's interested in having a relationship with Jynmi, but I'll ask around
(Any relationships your character has with another and also friendships, rivalries and such. It's something as simple as: "Joe Blogs - Friend" or "Joe Blogs - Good Friend" Things like that. you may add detail if you wish)

Other:
(Can include unique clothing items, side jobs, unique traits and such)

Zanpakuto~

Zanpakuto name: Lilith

Type: Kido(I think)

Zanpakuto Shikai Release command: Smile, Lilith

Spirit Appearance(Optional): Lilith's spirit takes the form of a small, muscular, pale skinned woman. Her hair is divided into stripes of red and black. The black stripes are straight while the red stripes of hair are frizzy and tangled. The cornea of Lilith's eyes are black with glowing red pupils at the center. Usually she keeps herself wrapped with her large raven wings, which is the most she'll ever wear as she prefers all natural.

Inner world:
Jynmi's inner world consist of a tiny green forest surrounded on all sides by massive grey stoned mountains with freezing peaks. To the West there's the setting sun, and on the East a full moon rising.

Sealed appearance:

Shikai appearance:
Lilith's shikai appearance takes on the form of a long rapier. Upon first activation the blade is clear, and looks as if its made out of glass, but after using the "leech technique" the glass turns purple. As Jynmi uses Lilith's various skills the purple material within the hollowed container lowers towards the handle. The handle is jet black.

Bankai appearance:
Lilith's bankai takes the appearance of whatever shadow she's merged with, but if one were to look closely at a certain angle and in a certain light, one would notice a purple-silver sheen within the shadow.

Shikai special ability: In Lilith's release state she can create and manipulate a material he calls 'Dusk' A dark purple substance which is normally comes in a gel-like state, but which can be altered at will to change into different forms of matter. Dusk is different from most other materials in that it constantly absorbs any Reiatsu it comes into contact with, becoming denser the more energy it absorbs.

Shikai skills:
1. Burakkuhoru (Black Hole)- Jynmi plunge's Lilith's blade into something, dirt, sand, water, blood, dense gases, and activates this ability, which pulls in the material, filing up Lilith's blade and transforms whatever substance that was sucked in, into the dusk gel. The ability can't be used on solid objects like stones, steel, bones, etc, etc. (Max Capacity 25 gel points)
2. Kokuhatsu no kage no yubi (The shadowy Accusing Finger)-The blade's point is aimed at a target and dusk shoots out, to a maximum distance of fifty meters, like a bullet, carrying with it tremendous force. After fully extending, the dusk hardens and Jynmi is able to swing the elongated weapon as if it was any other melee weapon. At any point Jynmi can detach the dusk portion of the blade to either activate another move, swing a regular length sword, or detonate the extension (5 Dusk Points per ten meters)
3. Gurūmīu~ōtāzu (Gloomy Waters)-Jynmi aims the tip of his sword and unleashes a torrent of dusk, which quickly dries and hardens on whatever surface its attached to. The output of water, and the volume that's delivered depends on the amount of dusk Jynmi uses for the technique. It can go anywhere from a hose like spray to something akin to what a high pressure what cannon can produce (1-5 dusk points per second)
4. Daku Koki (Dark Exhale)-Lilith floods the area with a gaseous form of dusk. The gas pulls itself towards any strange reitsu in the area and latches on to the whatever object contains the area. This ability is also used to cause suffocation, and nullify fire based techniques(the gas is much heavier than oxygen and causes an effect similar to carbon monoxide poisoning.) (1 Dusk point per second activated)
5. Naitosuraisa(Night Slicer)- Lilith's blade surrounds itself with what appears to be purple flames. Then Jynmi swings the blade in an horizontal/ vertical arc and launches Dusk in a sweep of concentrated plasma. Each dusk arc is extremely dense and hot. This heat is usually used to cut objects, but failing that, unlike other states of Dusk, this technique of dusk will automatically explode once it hits something it can't go through. Jynmi can increase the amount of dusk in an arc to increase its power (4-10 Dusk points )
6. (Hikari No Nai Novu-A)Lightless Nova-Beneath Lilith's handle guard there's a tiny button Jynmi can push that causes any Dusk currently released to explode. The denser the dusk, the more powerful the explosion.

Bankai-Ririsu-san Shinjinbukaidesu Warai (Lilith's godly laugh)- skills:
1. Shadow Bound-Jynmi's bankai, upon activation, attaches itself to a nearby shadow of his choice. Once activated Lilith can freely move in the shadow she's anchored to, expand or contrast as the user sees fit(within the area of the shadow), and move between shadows so long as there's a sliver of darkness connecting them. Although it does limit it tactically, light, does not harm Jynmi's bankai. However, if Lilith's bankai shadow disappears entirely then the sword will be forced back into its sealed state.

2. Dark Constructs- From the shadow Lilith's bankai is infused into it can create multiple constructs of various sizes, shapes, states of matter, properties, etc, etc. However it is incapable of creating anything that would fall under plasma or energy. These constructs for the most part act as regular matter, but for the fact their an extension of himself and so he can "feel" through them. There are limits in creating a construct that depend on the surface area of a shadow and what its attached to. The larger the shadow's surface area the quicker and easier the construct is to produce(Think of the shadow as a hat and the construct as the rabbit that can be pulled from said it; it's going to be a hell of a lot faster with a smaller rabbit). The maximum size a construct can be depends on the surface the shadow is on. For example, if a shadow is on the ground the constructs can be much larger than what would be available if the shadow was under Jynmi's hoari. (Again, think of a rabbit, but this time the are the shadow is on is like the cage that holds the rabbit beneath the cap-bigger cage bigger rabbit). Unlike, a construct's bigness, which is limited by the amount of matter beneath the anchor shadow, there's no absolute to how small a construct can get. Due to the focus needed in creating a construct Jynmi cannot move while his bankai's products are being made, and must be physically touching the source shadow. Once a construct is pulled from the source shadow it can't be altered further and the user must keep focused on the object to keep it in existence, and cannot hold more than three unattached constructs in existence at any one time. Even under ideal conditions the longest an unattached construct can be held in creation is ten minutes.
3. Animate-Whenever a construct is pulled from a shadow there are thin lines of darkness attached. These lines constantly draw power into the constructs and allow Jynmi to animate and control these creations like puppets. Unlike the constructs that are severed, these animated objects cannot move further than a dozen yards from the source shadow and become physically weaker the further they get from the bankai's anchor point. The larger an animated constructed is the physically weaker it is, regardless of shape or form. For example, physics aside, a giant fist the size of a car constructed of shadow can do significantly less damage than a fist of regular sized. However, after a certain point, at about the size a baseball, the constructs become exponentially stronger the tinier they get.
4. Kenokinesis-More of an accidental component of Jynmi's bankai than anything else. Due to the way his constructs are brought out of existence, it's possible for Jynmi to manipulate vacuums. Normally, a construct normally disappears by gradually fading out of existence, taking its time to let to keep from leaving a large enough space of complete emptiness. However, he can create a vacuum large enough to do some damage by switching his constructs off instantly, leaving a big enough void of both energy and matter, to cause trouble. He prefers to avoid this ability though due to him not being immune to the phenomena.
5. Black deity- When in darkness, not mere shadow, but a lack of light with depth, the power of Jynmi's bankai becomes nearly godlike. In darkness Jynmi can use tiny shadow limbs to manipulate anything from kinetic energy, electricity, electromagnetism, telekinesis, etc, etc. This is because there's darkness everywhere so Jynmi can create nearly infinite nano sized arms which are small enough and strong enough to manipulate the sub-atomic world.
(Not sure about exchanging black deity. I mean, I can put something else, but ultimately that wouldn't remove the skill since its the logical conclusion of the previous bankai abilities. So to really get rid of it I would have to edit the other abilities, and I can do, but I'm so sleepy lol)

Seeing value in the term 'Survival of the fittest', he holds training and discipline to the highest standard, for himself especially.}

₪ - History

<sub>Kenshin was born to the Kuroda family many years ago. Being the first born, he was expected to carry on the family name. His father, Arashi, was a renowned swordsman turned blacksmith. Although he no longer crafts instruments of death, the work of Arashi Kuroda can be seen all over his house.

Its actually fairly easy at a younger age to realize that you're the one expected to mimic what your father has done. Kenshin was put through rigorous training and tutoring. He received lessons from friends of the family, namely a former sensei to his father named Sengoku Kaien. Now, Mr. Kaien may appear to be a all-around nice guy, his training methods are brutal. Being born into the Shinigami world has its perks, such as healing techniques. When Kaien would injure young Kenshin in training, he would simply summon the family nurse to patch him up and resume training.

By doing this, he was able to gain the skills at a rapid pace, becoming stronger and smarter accompanied physical and emotional trauma. One time he got angry with his father and Kaien for their harsh training methods. At his outburst, the boy's father seemed to remember the training he had himself gone through years and years ago, and quickly made it clear that displays of anger, especially directed at one's father, were not tolerated his house.

And such was Kenshin's existence. He trained and learned daily under the harshest of methods, but only because his parents thought it would be ok for him to learn that way. So long as he kept his negative emotions in line, he would be left with less bruises too. He didn't really like this setup, but there wasn't really anything he could do about it, so he accepted it.

Even death gods must die...

Though he was familiar with death, growing up in Seiretei, Kenshin never had to deal with it personally until he was about ten. It was found out that his mother had been struck with a horrible disease. It was inoperable, and unable to be healed by any means as it attacked her entire body at once. The only thing that they could do was to sit by and watch as their mother wasted away.

Once she had finally passed, for a while something seemed off in the household to Arashi. He couldn't tell what it was at first, and then it struck him. His father. His father was missing from his usual position in the family. He wasn't blacksmithing or practicing his kendo. It was confusing to say the least. Though he wasn't happy with it, Kenshin had grown used to the sound of his father hammering away at burning hot steel or recapping their glory days with Kaien. This new, somber father just felt like a pale imitation. When he too passed, Kenshin wanted to mourn him, but didn't bring himself to do it. He could only see his old father, standing over him and telling him that swordsman showed no grief. As silly as it was, to Kenshin, his father's teaching finally gotten into him...

The academy....

Just like his friends, Kenshin found himself in the academy. He had trained along with them; so he saw no reason to let the skills he had been working on go to waste. While his friends had their own strengths and weaknesses, Kenshin seems to have been set on a path of becoming an specialist. Of course, he found certain things to be interesting as well. Hakuda was one such subject. Arashi was able to memorize and utilize attack patterns more easily than the others. This gave him some sense of body control that training in swordsmanship did not offer him.

Kido, on the other hand, tried its best to escape him it seemed. Try as he might, he couldn't manage to grasp the natural skill that some of his friends seemed to command. He wasn't the strongest in the world, but he would have a lot of work to do if he ever wanted to be as capable a spell caster as some of his friends.

Enter the dragon...

It was some time after he had graduated from the academy when he first heard his zanpakuto spirit. Though he had been decent in his zanpakuto resonance class, and had felt their presence, not once had he heard a word from them. It was a little maddening to say the least. At first, when he felt even the slightest squeak from his sword, he would rush into introducing himself and then it would be silent...

He finally heard him for the first time one day after a particularly bad mission. A foolish comrade had blown their cover and the group of hollows they had been following had attacked. It frightened him, but his father's words of not showing fear came back to him. The only thing he could think of was how Kaien would laugh at his misery and that only encouraged him and he charged at the group of hollows, seemingly alone...

When he awoke, he found himself lying on a cliff. The sounds of the breeze weaving through grass past him by. He looked around for a moment and was confused. What was he doing on a grassy hil, and how did he get there? He got up and brushed himself off and began wandering around. He couldn't tell just how long he spent wandering until he came to the clearing and saw the tree. Majestic and ancient. He had only five seconds to admire the beauty before he was attacked. He doubled over, trying to protect his head from the blows raining down on it from an unknown source. He finally managed to throw off his attacker and found it to be a large man, similar in age to himself. His calm demeanor after the sudden attack, his almost foolish and otherworldly attire and his sword tied to his waist confirm to Kenshin that the man he was looking at was his zanpakuto spirit, Hiryu.

At first they just stared at each other. Kenshin with confusion, and Hiryu with cold disdain. When he finally asked why he was so cold, all he said was that he was trying too hard. With that, he turned from Kenshin and went over to the tree atop the hill. He followed him and sat next ot him by the tree. He explained, nonchalantly, that the reason he had never spoken to him before is because he thought him to be too much of an overachiever. That he was not worth him protecting.

He had finally thought him worthy of audience with him when he charged the group of hollows. He had realized that it wasn't that he wasn't courageous or trying too hard, he was just trying to do what is right for his friends. He said his way of keeping this courage from showing was stupid, and that nothing good would come of it. Kenshin, now understanding what was going on, merely smiled and stared at the starry sky.

This, of course, earned him some animosity from his spirit, but instead of turning from him, he decided to teach him his release phrase. Perhaps saying the phrase would help him feel the fires of courage that should be shown sometimes. It didn't but the incident did start the relationship of zanpakuto and wielder to the levels it was destined to reach, though neither of them could be entirely sure just where that was.

To sleep, and to wake....

When Kaien fell into a coma, Kenshin was distressed to say the least. Although Kenshin felt a brief moment of glee, he felt guilty and never thought it again. He didn't want to lose his friend, his teacher, as easily as he had lost his parents. After all, he had looked up to Kaien growing up, and had been most fond of the few moments when they laughed together while during their lessons. They said one day he might wake up, but Kenshin, predictably, was impatient. He didn't want to have to wait for his friend to wake up. He made a deal one night by Kaien's bedside. If Kenshin got strong enough, Kaien would wake up. Perhaps a bit childish of a thing to make, but what was he supposed to do? The doctors had treated the situation like adults, but that didn't do anything.

Kenshin then left him while taking his pipe and herbs. He knew how precious these two items were to Kaien. He knew full well that if he were to wake, Kenshin would face the wrath of a thousand suns for committing such actions. He didn't care. He would keep them as memento and as motivation to get stronger. Not only because he looked up to Kaien, also because he wants to avoid his wrath as much as possible.

This was the story of Kuroda Kenshin before his ascension to become the captain of Squad Eleven. His old friend Sengoku Kaien did wake from his coma. However, he was stripped of all of his memories, and that included his fighting prowess. Now, Kaien wanders the world, seeking what he claims to be 'The Truth". The pouch and pipe that Kenshin took years ago have been returned to their rightful owner, in the hopes of sparking some sort of memory. It did, but not all was regained. Kaien remember the time he spent with both Arashi and Kenshin during Kenshin's formative years, but nothing before or after.</sub>

₪ - Abilities

_{Kenshin can be considered a master with the sword, as it is his normal means of combat. He can defend himself with hakuda, but is no higher than lieutenant level in the art. In terms of kido, one can say Kenshin has nearly no talent. Fast and agile, Kenshin can be considered a adequate shunpo practitioner, able to keep up with other captains.}

₪ - Z a n p a k u t o

₪ - Zanpakuto Spirit

_{Hiryu is the name of Kenshin's zanpakuto. The relationship between the two of them is...symbiotic. Hiryu, being the goof that he is, often despises the amount of work Kenshin puts in in order to better himself. In turn, Kenshin being the more serious one of the two, often scolds Hiryu on the lack of effort shown. However, this behavior is not indicative of the pair's synergy. When in battle, the two syncs up, exerting maximum effort required for the situation, often lending the other their strength in order to complete the mission. They share many similarities. They both like tea, sweets and they can both be a bit of a womanizer at times.}

₪ - Inner World

_{The inner world of Hiryu is a grassy hill under the cover of a starry night. On the hill there is a single tree. There are also a jug of sake and a herb pouch on the ground. Kenshin has oft wondered about the contents of said jug and pouch. Hiryu, however, has never divulged any information on the matter.}

₪ - Shikai

<sub>Kenshin calls out the words 'Set Sail' in order to release his shikai. In this stage, not much a a transformation happens. However, Hiryu now gains control over the element of water, able to use it in various applications.

Skills will be added later.</sub>

₪ - Bankai

<sub>Kenshin chants the words 'Plunge into the abyss and conquer the sea' in order to enter his bankai. In this stage, the name of his zanpakuto is Ginsuba no Hiryu. The sword becomes a royal purple, matching Kenshin's reiatsu. There is also a golden gem adorning the pommel of the sword.

Skills will be added later.</sub>

Frigging STARVED for Bleach Rp. Second Life sims are dropping like flies, and there doesn't seem to be any dam threads up. I still have Mirja in an NC, but haven't been able to bring her pink-haired joy anywhere.

[Infinite Cosmos]

I'll take her as tribute for squad 11

[Hantu Kongkek]

I'll reserve squad 13 Lt.

I'll also need to take some time to mull it over with the dudes who expressed interest in my alt faction to see what they think.
