Dizzmcd said
Are you still open to more characters? This accounts new, apparently my old one was erased, i didn't use it for a year or so. Anyway, if I can join I've got a good idea of a character.

I'm pretty sure that we are, yes. Feel free to make a character!

[IVIasterJay]

Huh, it reads a lot more powerful than I had in mind when my sleep-deprived mind thought it up. I'll be rewriting most of it now.

Keshigomu is designed for trapping, storing, and transporting what it erases. The condition of the blade is that it is unable to inflict any actual harm on what it pierces. I forgot to put it in the description when I posted it, but other Zanpakuto are immune to the erasure effect, only appearing in the white space if their owner is erased entirely.

[Red Fox]

Starting my sheet in these moments, it should be done shortly. Also, I apologize for a possible double post.

[Everblight]

Yeah sure Dizz it's still open.

Master Jay - looking forward to the rework :)

Fox - No worries, look forward to it.

Name: Sin Nguyen

Appearance: A lanky, tall man appearing to be in his mid twenties, with an almost barbaric look about his face. The symmetry is still enough, however, that most don't find him to be ugly, just rugged. His white-grey hair softens this along with his pale blue eyes and fair skin. His rugged facial features with his soft complexion and colors give him a very contradictory image when looked at individually.
His attire consists of a dirty, torn black pants, a white tank top covered, in part, by the remains of his mother's stolen Captain Haori. It is small, only forming a sort of vest over his clothes.

Personality: Sin is hard on himself. Very insecure, but wise in strategies, due to escaping authorities and potential captors. His reaction to others is at first closed, but for those who he finds a commonality with, he tends to open up to. His loneliness so far makes him long for meaningful relationships outside of his family. So, for those he does find a connection, he holds very dear.

History: Growing up in District 80 of West Rukongai was a hard time. As a child, Sin was sent to do the dirty work for his crime-syndicate family, the Nguyen Clan. Sin was forced to hone his skills in battle on many occasions just to survive his victims retaliations, as well as attacks from other thieving clans. It wasn't until his teenage years he heard about what had happened to his family to put them in the outer districts of Rukongai. The Exodus, as told by his mother, described a battle ensuing between the then-royal-family Nguyen clan and the other royal families. This was in part due to the usurpation of the great Nobunaga. In the shadows, however, it was because the Nguyen clan were weaker than the rest, and the other clans looked for a reason to push them out anyway. Sin resented this, wondering why his family didn't renounce their allegiance to Nobunaga. He left them, alone on the streets, hating his ancestors for shaming him and all the Nguyen descendants to lives of crime, necessary just to eat. His wandering eventually led to meeting a mysterious man who was once a member of the Gotei 13 under Nobunaga. He showed Sin a chance to redeem his family. His life was about to change. These people took him in and taught him what they could about zanpaku-to and eventually he released his zanpaku-to and obtained shikai form through extensive training.

Shikai: 結晶 Kessho (Crystal)- A large zanpaku-to, taking the unusual shape of a bastard sword in its sealed state. This may be due to his lack of total control as of yet, being new to weilding his zanpaku-to.

Release: 壊れて、結晶 Kowareru Kessho! (Be Broken, Crystal!)- Kessho turns black and shatters. the pieces on the ground melt it, and disappear. The leather handle and oversized cross-guard, as well as teardrop-shaped rain guard are left. The pommel goes from the standard round end to a teardrop shape just like the rain guard. Where the blade used to be, now a mist appears,

Abilities: Upon release, Kessho's swing forms giant pillars of thin, Obsidian glass. The glass forms in any shape, but his skill is to form it at a point on the ground, travelling upward in an upside down cone, with the round open end at the top. They are fragile, but upon the touch of Sin's pommel to the side of the glass cone gives a piercing sound that distracts opponents focus. More cones activated increases the sound, and larger cones activated in succession can even burst eardrums. Larger masses of cones could distort sounds, even images, to fool opponents. But Sin can only create 10 cones at a time, or 5 large ones which puts him at his limit. Offensively, the shikai is lacking, but the glass itself can be broken by Sin forcefully to harm opponents, as well as raising shear walls of glass from the ground to cut unsuspecting opponents. The Shear Wall is only capable of one wall at a time. Its defensive capabilities aren't strong physically, but illusions and using the glass to hide his exact location are useful tools to sneak attack with the Sendan (Shear Wall) attack. The Shikai's range is short, capable of creating the cones in 30 foot radius of the hilt. In order to spawn more cones, Sin must destroy one on the field, as only 10 small or 5 large can be active at one time. Shear Wall takes the place of one small cone.

Bankai: Not yet attained

I liked my obsidian glass technique, going off the contradiction that the bastard sword that creates glass, as well as the thin glass being black gave. but i can't figure out how to make it powerful, other than making the glass liquid to solid, trapping opponents in it or something. Any ideas? does the shikai/character sound good so far? Idk if the names are right, google translate sucks butt.

Hey, the most obvious way to make that kind of crystal-themed weapon is to make it use sharp shards in some way. But I have got to say, I like your idea so much better! I think the Shikai is borderline overpowered, but I don't know what I would change. Maybe restrict it to two or three collumns or something. To get a good grip of the power level we're looking for, check out the applications that are accepted already.

Also, if you're looking for someone who can translate Japanese a little better than Google, I'm your man. What names specifically did you have in mind?

If you need any more help, please ask!

[Dizzmcd]

I fixed the characters ability a bit, limiting the amount he can summon.

Name
Akira Hisakawa

Appearance
Akira Hisakawa
His clothing is exactly same, but please image the robe to be blue for now. Maybe he could obtain a Shinigami Captain robe later?

Personality
Akira´s personality was always a mystery, and it is still one in the present days. People who do not know him find him to be a complete enigma - his motivations and goals are a complete mystery to most people. The people who know him are the only ones to understand his true nature. Akira does not divide the world to good or bad, just and unjust. He accepts the world as it is, but if there is something against his beliefs, he will not be afraid to act and try to change it. When convinced in what he is fighting for, he can be a terrifying enemy who will not hold back at anything to defeat his opponents.

In general, all persons agree that Akira, despite all that is know about him is a calm, focused individual who rarely looses his cool. He does his best to treat both his friends and enemies with respect and dignity that he sees they deserve - and treat the ones who do not that way. Akira was a strong pursuer of justice, until he realized there is no justice according only to one man. The world will always get justice and if he will be the tool for justice, than so be it.

History
Akira was a highly seated officer in the First Squad in the times when Gorou Nobunaga was aspiring for the rank of the Captain. Very little is known about him, as he kept most of his life a secret. He was eight hundred years old and his life as a Shinigami is just as much of a mystery as his life before dying. All that was known about his is that he trained hard, especially in his early centuries to become as powerful as he could - that was his pursuit of justice. He always performed his duties to the point and to the best of his abilities. All that in hopes that he will be acknowledged and promoted to the rank of a Lieutenant in the First Division, and from there to the rank of a Captain of another division. This put him into odds with his Zanpakuto, Tsukuyomi no Mikoto, as greed for power was against her nature - but Akira paid little to no care to the words.

Two centuries before the incident with Gorou, he went on to lead a mission on his own for the first time - the mission ended in a disaster and cost the lives of several good Shinigami adepts. Angered at Akira´s arrogance over his newfound abilities, Tsukuyomi refused to unseal in the battle to punish the man for his arrogance. Akira was severely demoted and only Gorou´s intervention saved him from a harsh punishment. Ten years passed before Akira sought out his Zanpakuto Spirit once again - ten long years spent in penance. When they again met, Akira was a humble, diligent and determined Shinigami, the polar opposite of the man he was before the accident. The relationship between Shinigami and Zanpakuto strengthened, and Akira once again started to ascend the ascend in the ranks of the First Division.

Shortly before making it back to the top twenty Seated Officers, the incident with Gorou took place. Akira was among the ones who fought and were defeated after the imprisonment of they beloved Captain, and vanished with a select few of his Squad Members later. He spent the next thousand years solely in the Rukon district. There, he sought out solitude over all things - all he did was to train and communicate with his Zanpakuto. Over the millennium, he solidified his relation with Tsukuyomi no Mikoto, and unlocked its Bankai state, and trained extensively in its use, mastering the blade perfectly. He eagerly awaits any contact with his former squad members - the last chance they had to speak was one century ago. And as he will find out, a lot has changed.

Zanpakuto
Tsukuyomi no Mikito, Goddess of the Moon

Tsukuyomi no Mikoto, or Tsukuyomi for short is the Zanpakuto Spirit of Akira. The Goddess of the Moon is a beautiful, mute woman with a harp in her hands. While she and Akira never spoke a single word to each other, there is a complete, deep and mutual understanding between the two. Akira often visits the spirit realm of Tsukuyomi to converse with the Goddess, and she never refused to offer aid. The Shinigami describes only her presence to be calming and soothing at the same time. Her moves are described as flawless and graceful, the way Akira usually describes the Moon itself. The Goddess of the Moon always demands a perfect state of balance, that manifests in her abilities. The spirit real of Tsukuyomi is a grassy field bathing in the moonlight. A shrine can be found in the middle of the field where Tsukuyomi usually resides.

Shikai
" Illuminate my path, Tsukuyomi. "

Upon it´s release into the Shikai state, Tsukuyomi´s shape and measures remain the same. The only change that will happen is that the blade will start to glow with a pale blue-white aura closely resembling that of the Moon. The glow remains as an after image after the blade for a couple of seconds, that can be confusing for any foes encountered. The passive ability of the Shikai state is the slight increase in the movement speed of Akira, further adding to his already formidable agility. It also slightly increases reflexes, but high speed attacks can still be difficult to dodge even in this state. The counter effect of this state is also the slight decrease of the users physical strength.

Moonlight Shadow
In this move, Akira falls to one knee and stabs Tsukuyomi into the ground, creating a shadow underneath him in the shape of a circle. The size of the circle is determined by the amount of Spiritual Power poured into the execution of the move. This creates a shadow around him that acts a center of increased pull on most matter. As soon as he pulls out Tsukkuyomi from the ground, the gravity pull is cancelled and all matter shoots out with a fling effect. The shadow has a minimal diameter of three meters - no shadow smaller than this can be created. Akira can achieve large pulling forces in great circles, but the Spiritual Power cost is immense.

Waning Moon
Akira creates one ball from pure Reiatsu that proceeds to floats around him. The ball can be used both offensively and defensively. In the defensive use, the ball blocks one incoming attack. If the attack is of stronger natures, the ball will be unable to absorb the entirety and Akira can still be hit by a partially weakened attack. The offensive use of the balls makes it smash into the target and knock it backwards with no damage caused. Both the offensive and defensive uses depend on both Akira´s amount of Reiatsu placed into the attack, as well as the defenses of the enemy.

Bankai

" Illuminate the righteous. Blind the corrupted. "

The Bankai state of Akira´s Zanpakuto completely changes its appearance into a crescent blade. The glow that was present in the Shikai state shifts from a consistent glow into a fluctuating one. The afterimage also disappears, but Akira gains the ability to materialize and dematerialize it on his command. In this state, Akira becomes the very embodiment of the Moon, that " guides the righteous and blinds the corrupted ". The speed and reflex increase is slightly increase in his Bankai state to allow him the " pursuit of justice ", as Tsukuyomi claims it.

Cleansing Brilliance
A flash of light is emitted with Tsukuyomi serving as the point of origin of the flash. Depending on the amount of Reiatsu placed into the execution of the move, it can leave foes in various states - from almost no effects to a complete blindness for a few seconds. This is also affected by the strength of the enemy he is fighting. If the move is too strong, Akira might be affected slightly as well - the price he has to pay to maintain balance.

Lunar Rush
This attack depends on his Waning Moon ability from his Shikai state, which he maintains in the Bankai State as well. After the defensive use of the move, the target remains marked by " lunar energy " that allow Akira to perform a high speed charge. During Lunar Rush, Akira can´t change direction. The only way of stopping Lunar Rush is to interrupt it. Tunnel vision takes place during Lunar Rush and if an obstacle comes between him and his target, a collision is almost inevitable. The inability to change the direction is the price to pay for bringing swift justice to ones foes.

Vengeful Moon
This is the ultimate attack, when Akira becomes the embodiment of the " Vengeful Moon " that is hard to stop as it seeks justice. By gathering all the Spiritual Power he possibly can, he forms the kanji for the lunar eclipse under his feet. After that, he points his sword to unleash a devastating beam of solar energy. If any target is struck, the chances of inflicting grievous wounds are very high. Immediately after the execution, Tsukuyomi seals itself back into an unreleased state, remaining so for an extended period of time until she replenishes her strength.

Other Skills

Master Swordsman
Akira´s swordsmanship is cleanly at a Master level, although it was self taught - some of its elements are not quite according the book. He often uses this element to surprise his foes in combat. His fighting style is based on superior agility over raw strength - in combat, he can make high speed attacks with great precision that only highly experienced foes can successfully guard. He is a know practitioner of the Senmaioroshi and Hozuri techniques.

Shunpo Master
Plainly and easily said, Akira´s natural speed is highly above the average and when combined with his great skill over the art of the Flash Step, he can be a very elusive combatant who can come in for strikes at high speed and disappear before any attempts at retaliation can be even attempted. As his Shunpo is also self taught, he has no mastery over any of the Flash Step techniques available to the Captains of Soul Society.

Kido Practitioner
Akira´s Kido was never anything to be afraid of and it has remained so into the present days. While he can safely use low level ones and even some mid ranked ones, the effectiveness of the moves falls behind to that of a fully trained person. Despite these facts, he managed to find a way to incorporate even his weaker Kido into his fighting style - he mostly uses it to create diversions or to restrain and/or momentarily slow down his foes. Although weaker, his Kido´s strength lies in its timing.

[Hansa]

It's an interesting Zanpakuto, more based on different moves and techniques than others. It's interesting!

[Everblight]

OK Dizzmod, just want a quick check on your zanpakuto power. So you use liquefied obsidian to make cones you can shoot sound waves out of, and you can make a wall of Obsidian? I think that's about it. Either 10 small cones or 5 big ones right that vary in power.

To Fox - looks cool although there are a couple of things I'm hazy on. First is lunar rush, so it seems like just a simple charge? I feel like I'm missing something there. And with the moonlight shadow you say the smaller it is the more powerful it is, and also the size of it is based on how much Reiatsu your pour into it. Sounds like you put a little reiatsu in to make a small circle which is really really powerful haha. And also can you elaborate on what it does? 'Makes all object fly towards you' is it intended as a get close, activate then bolt out of there to smash your opponent to pieces ?

[IVIasterJay]

Edited and added a little more to Masaru's CS. He's meant to be one of the original members of the Jakakumei. If the Zanpakuto is too much it might be easier to just trash the concept and start fresh.

Well, when you say it like that... but yes.

[Everblight]

Haha sorry but I was a bit busy so I kinda cut to the chase. It is a cool idea though, not heard a zanpakuto like that before. Looks good to me though!

[Everblight]

Also Master Jay I'm not entirely sure how your Zanpakuto works, it still seems really powerful. What can you do to people, or the parts of people that you 'erase' and what benefit does your Zanpakuto actually give you? do you just take chunks out of objects or?

[Red Fox]

I´ll do my best to finish my sheet today!

[Everblight]

Awesome sauce

[Hansa]

So I guess theres no reason we can start this RP with few people, and then accept others while were going? Or what do you think, Everblight?

[Red Fox]

Finishing my sheet tonight - all the delay was because the week long preparation for a math test and ... well, unicorns.
Just a couple more hours.

[Everblight]

Yeah sounds like a plan. Roll Call who is ready!

[Hagura]

I'll get mine started, but wont finish till tonight perhaps.

Name: Suki Shiotani
Gender: Female

Appearance: Suki stands at a meek 3'8". She appears to be a little girl. She has a childish look to her. Her body is skinny and sleek. Athletic in build but appears to be thin and aerodynamic. Her skin is a light tan color and she has gold blond hair that comes down to her waist. She has long front bangs that are clipped even across her forehead that stop right above her brow. Similar to this girl.

Picture

she wears the custom blue robes. But over the robe she wears a red hoodie.

Mask

The hoodie she wears keeps her from shocking other people. She has rubber gloves and boots.

Personality: Suki is a childish person. She keeps true to her nature and is often stubborn. Suki has a cute and outwardly glompy nature. Suki is just as she appears. A child in heart and mind. Though a deadly one at that. She holds in her killer instinct and the will to murder when ever possible. She prefers to always have a smile than to be seen a demon being with a blade. Suki is respectful to strangers, but to people she is comfortable with, she is often joking and quite physical. She isn't really spoiled, more she knows she can often use her cute looks and nature to get what she wants. Even in combat she acts silly and not serious. Suki enjoys having fun and he thinks that battling is one of the most fun things she can do. but To sum it up, she is a moe Tsundere.

History: To be discovered in the RP.

Shikai: Edge of Lightning (or is google translate is good: Kaminari no ejji) her blade turns into a bolt of golden lightning. Her body charges up with electrical energy.

Dance of the Vortex: Suki charges her blade with lightning and her self. She is immune to any negative effects of electricity or her own abilities. When she is charged, she can attack extremely fast. When she swings and makes contact with anything, she electrifies the area and usually a lightning bolt strikes the area even if it isn't cloudy. This strike can also paralyze opponents.

Voice of Thunder: Suki can unleash a deafening scream that at a close range can do concussive damage, but the real effect is to disrupt and mark targets. When a person has been marked by the roar, she can define their location without seeing them. Similar to echo location. When a target has been marked, her final Shikai ability can be used.

Swallow with Light: When targets have been marked with her Voice of Thunder, Suki can then attack marked targets with pinpoint accuracy. She becomes so fast that she leaves an afterimage of herself. She then can attack marked targets with multiple strikes of lightning from multiple angels as she can circle her opponents and strike many times over and over.

Bankai: not yet achieved.
Other Skills: Supreme Master of Zanjutsu: Suki has extensive and excessive training in swordsmanship. Easily going on the level of any captain. Trading any Reiatsu or Reiryoku training for pure physical combative skills, Suki has an extremely high skill of blade combat. She is acutely aware of her surroundings and can often dodge and counter attacks very easily. With this training, she can move faster than Shunpo on the regular, but when used in conjunction, she is nearly untouchable and moves faster than the regular eye can see. Often boasting multiple attacks from different angels at once. She is surprisingly strong with her blade despite her size.

Selective Training: In her years training when she had left the soul society, she choose not to improve her Reiatsu at all, but instead focus on purely combative skills and physical strength. So in trade off, she has nearly no Reiatsu and knows no Kido or any spells.

Child of Lightning: Suki has an aura of electricity. With this she has gained Electroreception. Which allows her to sense the the movement of things around her.
