Dark "Suzaku" Gin(Vizard Leader)

Basic Information

Name: Dark "Suzaku" Gin

Age:
Actual: 1,942
Appearance: 18

Gender: Male

Division: Vaizard Leader, Former 3rd Division Captain

Seat: N/A

Looks:
With short, silver blond hair, Dark stands at six feet four inches, not being very muscular, yet he still has defined abs. With crystal sky blue eyes, he has a small horizontal cut under his right eye, which is usually covered by his silver bang; even if the scar is revealed, the size of it is too small to be noticed. On his back is a large faint line running from his left shoulder down to the right side of his waist. Besides the scars and such, his skin is a pale color and has no blemishes except for the obvious tattoo branded on the anatomically frontal side of his body. As for normal everyday clothing and accessories, he wears a black long sleeve shirt that clings to his body, allowing for him to move a bit faster than if he had on the normal Shinigami attire; pictured jeans are most comfortable for him.

Personality: Normally, he would keep to himself and think his thoughts, minding his own business. This introverted being would rather hang with a small pack of people than blend in with the majority and play along; an individualistic person, one could say, yet he's willing to accept others similar to him and hence his preference with one particular small group rather than the mass. And even so, when he mingles with the minority he so chooses, he rarely speaks unless needed to; complete strangers will barely get anything from him, and it's become relevant that the more he speaks to a particular person, the more of a friend he considers them. Although he may seem cold when speaking to others, he has a good heart and doesn't mean to be mean.

Though he cares not much for strangers, he still swears to protect those that are weak and need help; but, being the leader of such a faction as the Vaizards, also referred to as the masked army, he contradicts himself with his struggle to find the morale in revenge and hatred; often consumed by its tainted presence within him, he leans more towards the heinous acts of bloodshed, but there will always be a shred of good within him. He doesn't allow for distractions to interfere with whatever he desires to accomplish, which results in a tendency to destroy his opponent/terminate their advances. When in combat, he may come off as foolish if challenging a stronger opponent or going against the odds; a more correct term to describe him, rather than foolish, would be fearless. Thoughts such as "I've seen it all; how can it get any worse" or "Either this happens, or that happens, simple as that" tend to desensitize him(not to mention what he went through as a human child; in extremely rare cases do souls that have passed on from their days alive into their days in Soul Society remember their pasts, but because what he had gone through was traumatizing, the emotion and images still linger and resonate its presence within himself), allowing him to slip into an apathetic state; when he reaches such a state, any idea of suffering and pain will never cross his mind, permitting him to strike without hesitance and carry out cold, inhumane acts.

Suzaku: An unexplainable innate ability that makes him unique: the ability to manipulate fire, giving him the title of "Suzaku" or phoenix. At will, he can set any of his limbs on fire, which in turn is able to catch anything else it touches on fire just with a single touch. The flame is able to, due to its extremely hot nature, spread quickly, giving it that instantaneous effect. When he releases into his shikai, he's able to form other extremities with this fire; extra arms, legs, tails, wings, etc etc; otherwise, he can only set fire to his unreleased Zanpakutou. The purpose would be to help him further expand his reach, allowing him to injure his opponent easier. He's also able to "bend" the fire, his reach about 35 meters away before the fire slowly dies; the distance increases as he releases his Bankai, 85 meters in advance. The fire has no effect on his skin but can cause irreversible damage to any other person if the fire isn't put out(if they're on fire) in three posts. The only thing he cannot burn is another Zanpakutou. He believes that his tattoo(which he did not have until he passed on) is related to this ability because it glows a bright crimson color whenever he uses it.

Mask Information

Name: Light

Manifestation:

Spoiler:

As pictured above...just...don't mind the guns...
He stands equal to Dark in height at six feet four inches. His jacket and shirt hides a dark red tattoo that spirals inward, pinpointing itself at the center of his sternum. This tattoo serves as a seal(check below). Light is as deranged as the next psychotic criminal, his mind very focused. At times, when he takes over, there is little difference in how Dark might act for he's able to copy what Dark does, often fooling others. A devious character that continually seeks to destroy Dark's soul and take his body, like any other hollow like entities. Although, during extenuating circumstances, Light does lend a helpful hand, but usually, he'd only submit when he's forced to(aka beat down).

Unique Ability: An ability that consists of healing powers(regressive healing, whether it be cuts or anything detrimental to his immune system) including a second Bankai that increases speed(+3) and strength(+2). This increase in speed and strength from his Hollow's Bankai will only last until his Bankai and mask shatters(see second paragraph below). After the first use, when he uses his mask again, this stat increase will no longer work; a one time use only(per topic). The healing ability is beyond that of any reishi's; if he had lost any limbs, a new one would grow, only it would be fully "hollow like" in appearance. When the mask is removed, a new limb is set and ready for use. Otherwise, it would speed up his healing process as to closing up huge wounds like gaps between shoulders in a matter of seconds as if he hadn't been struck(as mentioned before, regressive healing, whether it be cuts or anything detrimental to his immune system). He is also able to use Cero, but he can only use it the first eight posts into his mask; when it hits the ninth one, he can't shoot Cero, and if he tries to, it would result in his death as the Cero would backfire and totally obliterate him. He can either shoot it from the tip of his sword(and spread it out like a whip) or from his palms. Cero costs him 2 stamina points. The regressive healing will depend on how great the wound is: A small cut -0, A larger cut(about ten inches) -1, Large gash(greater than ten inches) -3, Missing limb -5, Poison -5.

The web like pattern on Light's chest is a seal; it holds another form of Dark's Zanpakutou. This form of Dark's Zanpakutou, however, is just a powerful yet weak Bankai. The Bankai form is able to hold until the mask cracks; he cannot use his Shikai afterward for two post, however, because of the instant increase in speed and strength. The reason for this is because when the Hollow pulls the Bankai out from its chest when Dark activates his Bankai with the mask out, about half of Dark's reiatsu is concentrated into the blade, making it when the mask reaches its limit, the sword loses the grip of its power for two posts.

Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Yakubyougami(Angel of Death)

Zanpakuto Looks:

Zanpakuto Description: It has the properties of a normal katana.

Released Zanpakuto Description: White light is a combination of seven colors, only to be seen and never felt, but when Yakubyougami releases light, it collects the reishi surrounding the area, bending them in such a fashion that they become bright white, making it seem as if the light Yakubyougami released hangs there. Thus, Dark is able to control the reishi Yakubyougami has collected to use against his opponent.

Unique Ability: A huge flash would be emitted from the Zanpakutou and Dark himself, blinding the opponent for one post; his body would be shining brightly afterwards, making the opponent's vision blurred for the next post, giving Dark the edge. The bright light will confuse the opponent, their eyes seeing Dark in multiple directions, and their vision would slowly be recovering from the flash that was discharged earlier. Slight movement is enough to have them seeing a few of him(think kaleidoscope vision, just without the pretty rainbow colors and stuff). This doesn't affect his eyesight.

Zanpakuto Release Phrase: Hikaru, Yakubyougami!(Shine, Angel of Death!)

Released Zanpakuto Looks:

Spoiler:

Five and a half feet long and very sturdy despite its looks.

Zanpakuto Spirit:

Spoiler:

Zanpakuto Realm: As pictured in the image above. The site of the barren destruction stretches on endlessly on all sides and in the center amongst this untold chaos is a cross in which the Zanpakutou spirit perches atop of. The cross bears words that describe the spirit's identity before it came to be a spirit. The trees that flock around the collapsed buildings seemingly loom towards the center as if to worship the perched being.

Bankai Information

Bankai Description: An increase in speed is granted upon release(+5) along with strength(+5) and stamina(+5). Both sides of himself materialize into a dual sword set; both are the same in length(both combined and separated), six feet. The orange represents the side that burns fiercely, "Suzaku". The purple represents the twisted potential within him, the hollow and himself. When the two are combined, they only appear as a normal katana, their abilities intertwined. Once separated, only the orange can wield his inner "Suzaku" ability while the purple carries out his original Bankai techniques. At the initial release of his Bankai, the alteration(mentioned below) will take place, and his Shikai will convert to the combine form of his Bankai. In order to separate the two swords, he must drop the sword blade first into the ground where it will sink; the area will shine brightly(exactly as if he released his Shikai; look under "Unique Ability" for further info) and the sheath will take form of the Suzaku sword, the other of his Bankai.

Alterations: His black skin tight shirt will burn off to show his bright, crimson glowing tattoo. A phoenix shaped outline will envelope his topless body, this armor being of pure crimson fire that will cause third degree burns if it comes into contact with the skin. When his Bankai is in its combined form, he can freely control fire, but once he separates them, only the Suzaku blade can use fire based attacks(look under "Suzaku" above for further info).

Bankai Looks:

Kido Information

Name: Kyuutai Tsuyoi (Resilient Orb)[Literal Meaning: Orb Resilient]

Type: Bakudou/Hadou

Number: 75

Element: N/A

Incantation: Repel those that interfere with a constant force!

Description: The user merely needs to chant the incantation to activate an invisible barrier. The barrier has two characteristics that makes it unique: it has the ability to paralyze the opponent and pin them down to the ground if the barrier intentionally hit the opponent or explode if an opponent intentionally attacked the user, the barrier reacting to protect the wielder. The explosion is about equivalent to a Kidou number 45 and only something with the amount of power equal to a Kidou of 60. This barrier lasts for four posts, and he cannot use this for an additional six posts. It is possible for him to use this technique to shield others around him; however, they must be within site in order for him to cover them(meaning if Dark was behind a building and the other person was on the opposite side, he'd have to go around till he sees the person in order to shield them; once the person is shielded, they could be anywhere and it'd still take effect, but only before the four posts are up). -2 Stamina

Name: Shintoshi Dageki (Silent Death Strike)[Literal Meaning: Silent Death Strike]

Type: Hadou

Number: 59

Incantation: Awaken all things horrid, show the fear in which all living things deny its existence. Defy the thought of defeat and punish those who are ignorant, oh mighty Death God!

Description: The area will grow dead silent, the opponent's vision going black. The skies grow darker and darker and will finally unleash a black bolt of collected reishi that strikes down at the opponent. If the opponent is strong enough(40 Strength), they may be able to block the strike. If the opponent is fast enough(40 Speed), they can dodge the attack. The only way to detect this attack is through touch; once the reishi hits the body from the first strike, it sends a light signal, similar to a trickling feeling. The next second, a stronger strike will come down and the attack intensifies, dealing its intended damage then. This whole thing lasts for three posts: the first for collecting reishi and canceling of opponents vision and hearing, the second for the strike(light), the third to finally finish the move off. If this move is performed in the real world, the time it takes to complete this attack doubles(two for collecting, two for first phase of strike, two for ending). Five posts interval and -3 Stamina.

History and RP sample{WiP}

~It's time to let go...~

Spoiler:

~A Dark Future...~

Spoiler:

RP Sample:

There are five hollows. Each of them pretty large for any normal ones. I guess I could gouge the eyes out of the one to the left of me and shove them in the hole of the one to the right of me. But, I used up quite the amount of reiatsu a while ago. I could use my mask...but I won't. Not on these lowly pieces of whatever. They show up as soon as I finished sparring Koujetsu. But hey, I haven't even released my Zanpakutou yet, and I might soon, but now, I'll see what I can do. Well...screw this...I'm done playing around. Time to assess the situation and act accordingly. I gave a low chuckle and the three hollows in front of me yelled back in anger. The one in the middle lunged towards me while the other two simply flanked him, maybe thinking of striking me at the sides.

Hollow one: hmmm...pretty ugly. He's got some huge horns for his black mask and quite the furry muscular arms that could easily crush me. Downside to this ugly and furry beast: he was extremely slow. There's that easily seen open spot in any slow fighter: everywhere you can strike. He was the one that if the faster one catches me, he's the executor. From the victim I just saw eaten, he tears them to five pieces, getting the huge piece for himself. The others got their share of the deal and the one who held back the most got the head. There's no way I'm letting myself get caught by this brainless brute. He was the one who insists on lunging towards me, hoping to pin me down, the middle idiot.

Hollow two: well, not the improvement I would've noticed, but he wasn't half bad in that the colors of his mask were pretty swirly; a hint of pink as it became concentrated into a more bloody red, curving into the middle of the mask. The two other colors bordering this center thick red was green and orange; yea, quite the reason why I said half bad: he could have picked better colors for his mask. But who am I kidding, we don't have the liberty of choosing the color of our masks. Anyway, this little guy was the littlest of these mindless hungry giants, and he was the fast one. I was still debating over whether I should kill him first or the fat brute. I'm leaning towards the little guy who towered over me at about ten feet. He was to the right of hollow number one.

Hollow three: you guessed it, he's the one to the left of hollow one. This guy was rather slim, the tallest out of the hollows. He stood about seventeen feet high, his mask about three feet long vertically and two feet wide. It was plain white, boring and shiny; though the teeth are hideously HUGE! To compare, my Zanpakutou, unreleased, would be like a toothpick between his two buck teeth. Well, other than being the tallest, he was also the most nondescript thing you would ever seen from any hollow; all in all, he doesn't deserve to be living. Actually, none of these creatures should be allowed to live like this so it's not like I'm going to hand out mercy to them or anything. Anyway, I'd kill him last, because the next two are pretty pathetic in skills.

Hollow four: although he looks freakin' awesome, he's gotta go. This thirteen foot nothing stood to my left, the one who'd have his eyes gouged out soon enough. As his image came closer while I used shunpo and gave his chest a good uppercut, I could see his chest had little diamond like shards of....crystal. As soon as his body began to shimmer, the two halves slowly disappearing, the twinkling dust particles started shining brightly, growing with size, and quickly too. Using shunpo again, I watched as they exploded, knocking the other four away. Hollow one and two fell backwards, backs planted to the ground. Hollow three was somehow under hollow five who cried out the loudest.

Hollow five: well, this little bastard got up as soon as he was shot down by his comrade's exploding minerals. The next easiest one to kill, although the claws implanted on this thing are pretty sharp. As I flew forward, I gave my Zanpakutou a good downward swing, but he wasn't as dull as he looked; stopping my katana with his right arm, he swung at my chest with his left. Using my speed, I was able to dodge the worst of that swing; unfortunately, my Shinigami cloak had holes that stretched about three feet now near my chest. Just the tips did this. The other hollows were slow at getting up, but they were up now. I took this as a chance to take out hollow number five.

Using shunpo, I caught the blue and green masked bearer off guard. Thrusting the sealed Tenraikon towards hollow number five's chest, it hissed in protest, resulting in my leap into the air to stop my legs from getting shredded. I didn't need to see the whole process of him disappearing because as soon as I turned my head, if my sweaty hands didn't swing to block the incoming horns, I would've been impaled right there, in midair. With a deafening kachiiing! sound, I used shunpo again, landing behind hollow one and slashing at his legs before somersaulting into the air and finishing him off with Tenraikon through his skull. "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" it cried out.

"Damn straight..." I breathed before facing the last two hollows, hollow number two and three. This was swell; I had already planned to kill three last, so two was up. The he-she-it-thing charged at me and suddenly disappeared. Concentrating, I could feel his sudden reappearance to my left flank. His reiatsu smelled like spoiled eggs with a hint of bloody chicken, pork, and beef, all mangled up into one giant pile of...hollow. I shivered before doing a one-eighty, sword following around from my right, cutting him straight in half from its waist. And the satisfying last cry of despair filled the heavy air as I landed onto the soft grass, breathing deep breathes.

Hollow three was ready and pounced at me, crying out "Let me eat you Shinigami!!" Hmmm...not what I planned today. I simply stood my ground, holding out my katana in front of me, a slow smirk spreading across my face. I was hoping to have a little fun with this one, but it couldn't be helped. I couldn't see anything the next second as it leaned over me, my sword cutting into its stomach. I could feel the ends of his teeth on my neck as he tried to chomp down into it. Chuckling, I closed my eyes and felt as the teeth disintegrated with the rest of its body, my tired body standing there, victorious. Frankly, against hollows to be specific, I hadn't felt so thrilled in a long time. I guess hollows are slowly progressing in strength, but as long as I had my Zanpakutou and mask, no lowly hollow is a match for me.

Techniques

Shikai Release

Technique 1: Tomoshibi Ketatamashii[Piercing Light](Literal meaning: Piercing light)
Description: The whole area will be blinded with a sudden flash of light(think flash grenade times a thousand in brightness) and in that second, he can manipulate the light, allowing it to surround the opponent that come to several points, stabbing into their body; the second purpose is to supply Tomoshibi Tsunzaku with light to use. This technique has a cool down time of six posts because of how easily it can drain an opponent of their stamina(basically, it can cause the opponent bleed out if they don't do anything about it). Those who have any armor type of thing/barrier around them are impervious to this attack, otherwise, it cannot be blocked by hand. -2.5 Stamina.

Technique 2: Tomoshibi Tsunzaku[Splitting Light](Literal meaning: To split light)
Description: Collecting reishi into the blade, the blade will begin to shine brightly. When released, it will resemble Getsuga Tenshou, except that it's white and wherever there is more light, the stronger the attack; cloudy condition, normal, sunny, +5 in Kidou number. When out in moonlight, the power of this attack doubles; originally, it matches a Kidou number 30 in power for Shikai; Kidou number 45 for Bankai. If he is confined inside a dark area, before using Tomoshibi Tsunzaku, he must initiate Tomoshibi Ketatamashii, giving him light to use. The speed of the attack is about 400 MPH, more or less. When in Bankai and moonlight, he can use it up to three times before losing stamina(-5); if he continues to use it after the third time, his motor abilities will begin to deteriorate. If used in close proximity with another opponent, a recoil will occur and he might suffer some first degree burns. The opponent is subject to third degree burns, however, if they are hit with this technique. Originally uses up no stamina.

Technique 3: Tomoshibi Kibatsu[Striking Light](Literal meaning: Striking light)
Description: When Yakubyougami releases light, the blade will glow a bright white, sucking in the reishi from the air. The process of collecting the reishi must be repeated two times in order to properly pull this move off. The blade will glow a bright blue color as soon as it reaches its full capacity. When releasing it, Dark may either swing his blade and make contact with them(either body or blade/weapon) or point it at his opponent. What occurs afterwards will happen too quickly to be seen; a huge flash of concentrated light, in which he has also gathered some static electricity within the attack, will strike the opponent, the speed matching a bolt of lightning. When in contact, Tomoshibi Kibatsu will damage the nerves as it shocks the body as well as blinding the opponent temporarily(two posts). The sudden burst of electricity confuses the synapses(basically, the neurotransmitters aren't able to go through) within the reflex arc, which exists as a part of the peripheral nervous system and conducts impulses through the spinal nerves. The afferent and efferent neurons are overloaded and finally quits functioning, thus causing for the paralysis effect; the muscles can't move and the body is numb. The optic nerves are affected as well, and it too sort of short circuits temporarily. A total of two posts to complete(doesn't matter when); -2 Stamina.

Bankai Release

Technique 1: Tsubasa no Tenshi[Angel's Wings](Literal meaning: Wing of angel)
Description: Upon chanting "Give me flight, for I know naught of gravity", large black wings will sprout from Dark's back, allowing him to freely maneuver through air with ease. These wings are capable of guarding Dark from attacks(Kidou, highest to be 75, strength, 40). During battle, the feathers from his wings will begin to fall off, marking the limited time he has to use these wings(similar to Hyourinmaru's flowers, just it indicates how long he can use his wings, not Bankai); they last for all ten posts of his Bankai. For every hit he fully blocks, the posts in which his wings will last drops by one. -3 stamina per use.

Technique 2: Byakuya, Sengoukire[White Night, Slicing of a Thousand Feathers](Literal meaning: White (arctic) night, thousand fine feathers slice)
Description: The feathers of "Tsubasa no Tenshi" will separate from the wing, covering the area like a blizzard, which serves to protect him; defense mode. Dark may control these feathers with his hands if he wishes and the speed at which the feathers move when he controls them matches his speed stat; when he switches it to attack, which is where he controls the movements of the majority of the feathers and its maneuvering positions by hand, it will eliminate the use of wide range and will automatically switch to targeting and attacking one object. The full-on impact matches a Kidou number 70 in power if he switches to attack; defense mode, in which the feathers will automatically seek out anyone who disturbs the peace of the feathers surrounding Dark and strikes them, the impact matches a Kidou number 50 in power. This will last for all posts he has Bankai. However, since the feathers are taken from his wings, the more he uses this attack, the more if affects them; if he switches to attack for more than 5 times within his Bankai limit, he will lose his wings, yet the feathers will increase in strength and speed; attack, Kidou number 75, defense, Kidou number 55, defense, speed at which the feathers move 5% faster, defense, speed 5%. In defense mode, the feathers protect him from dangers that are 5 meters away; if he increases the distance, for every one meter, it affects two posts for his wings, allowing him to increase it to a total of 10 meters away from himself. The feathers dissipate once he goes back to Shikai or if he mutters "Kai". -4 stamina per use.

Technique 3: Nibai Hishouheki[Double Light Barrier](Double light barrier)
Description: Dark will be covered in a barrier of light that nullifies attacks and amplifies his own. The strength of the attack will go up by +5 and up 10 in Kidou number while protecting him from attacks that vary in power(Kidou, 60, strength, 30). The speed of other attacks will be reduced(-5) when it comes near the barrier, approximately 5 meters away from the barrier. This lasts two posts, one post cool down and can only be used three times in a topic. -2 stamina per use.

This isn't perfect, but I'd like Kaji to go over it and then count out the flaws so I can fix it.

Approved.
