[quote=Nicias Askani] Name: Giovanni CainAge: 350Hair Colour: silver/whiteEye Colour: reddish brownRace: ShinigamiRank: unseatedSpiritual Energy Colour: GoldPersonality: his personality is probably best described as adaptive. He can blend in with most types of people but still keep is own individual flare. he is compassionate but rather passive aggressive at times. He often speaks his mind but is careful to do so tactfully as to stay out of trouble. But on the inside he is a smartass with no filter. History: Giovanni Cain was born in Hokutan, the third district in Rukon, to a lower noble family of little renown. He lived moderately but idly. Being relatively close to the seireitei he saw many shinigami, even sparking small friendships with some. But as time went on his friends became either fewer or famous. It was clear to him early on that a shinigami’s path was one of great danger. He received very basic lessons on controlling his spiritual pressure from some of them and was encouraged to apply to the shin’o academy. During his studies he discovered a "secret" his heritage. The reason his family was a lesser noble family wasnt because they historically had an elevated level of spiritual pressure but because. In fact they were simply more sensitive to spiritual pressure than most others naturally. He learned that that wasnt actually a good thing. while it, in theory, made for a good ability to track spiritual pressure it also put him at a disadvantage with spiritual pressures stronger than his. he was more easily overwhelmed by the spiritual pressures of others, much like someone with sensative hears cannot stand loud noises. so on top of his studies he had to build up a ''tolerance" so to speakIn the six years it took him to graduate he found that his own spiritual pressure was best suited for kido. He excelled in the art even at an accelerated level but his skills in the other areas were barely average. Upon his graduation his path was laid before him. One he had long since decided on. his skills at hand to hand were tactless. He could punch and kick but the full art of Hakuda was a lost cause on him. Zanjutsu, being extremely emphasized at the academy, was by no means his forte. Sure he could hold his own against a couple weak hollows but if his sparing results were any indication he was still low on the shinigami totem pole. But Kido came easy to him. Rather the art of manipulating his spiritual pressure came easy to him because of his sensativity. The incantations were a bother to learn but his skill was almost natural. ALMOST. He blew himself up a few times practicing but he did practice much more than he did any other subject. Other: 1. he has a great personal interest in Seals. 2. Since he wants to join the kido corps and there probably wont be anyone else doing so he will most likely do missions and trainings with another squad as he matriculates through kido corps. _Non-lethal Zanpakuto Skills:1. Draw: because his zanpakto represents balance he must be in complete balance with his sword to draw it. Activating his shikai allows this for now but hopefully by the time he masters Bankai he can create and maintain the balance on his own.

The normal assumption would be that it adds more force to the blade when hit, but it's not for sure. Best to add the effect. Otherwise you're good. ...I think I should start sending these via PM, but half of me wants not to so people can see my awesome deducing skills.
