Renjiro Haptism - 5th Squad Captain

Basic Information

Name: Renjiro Haptism

Age: He is 885 but appears to be 35

Gender: Male

Division: 5th

Seat: Captain

Looks:


See avatar or above. Renjiro looks exactly like this

Personality:

Renjiro is a self obsessed egomaniac that cares only for himself, most of the time. He only cares about others when it’s a life or death situation. He concentrates more on his looks than anything else. Call him ugly and feel the wrath of Renjiro. Although Renjiro is very self conscious and mostly cares for himself, he is rather charismatic and charming. He's a ladies’ man with his own fan club, which he loves.

The only time he will stop caring just for himself is if his team or direct family is in grave danger. Renjiro as the Captain of the 5th squad is a very powerful person and it shows with his cockiness. This was mainly engraved into his personality when he was diagnosed with his brain tumor and during his treatment he was shunned as a useless disgrace and therefore built a self-protection mechinism into his own being.

Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Kaiton Ryū

Zanpakuto Looks:


Zanpakuto Description: Looks and acts like a normal sword. It has a silver tint to the blade and its hilt is made of pure gold

Released Zanpakuto Looks:


Released Zanpakuto Description:

The sword changes shape completely into the image above. When creating flames the temperature of the flames produced stops at the hilt because it has tungsten in the hilt which can absorb and stay cold due to its melting point being 3422 °C and a heat absorption rate of 52.31 kJ•mol−1. This means his hilt has fire and heat absorption properties built into the raw materials used when forging the sword. It reaches a maximum temperature of 1,000 °C.

The abilities of Kaiton Ryū are can’t be measured by mere scale of power or skill as it’s a combination of both. Kaiton Ryū being a dragon can naturally control and produce fire. Therefore the power of the Zanpakuto Kaiton Ryū is the creation and control of fire. With slight movements of Kaiton Ryū Renjiro creates whips of fire that shoot forward. A single whip of fire is as strong as a level 30 kido but he can only create and maintain 3 whips at a time.

Shikai techniques

To perform these techniques he must surrender his sword by thinking the word 'I release'. By doing this his sword will burst into fire reishi and instantly be absorbed into Renjiros body causing no harm or damage at all to his body. However this will cost him 1 stamina point to absorb the reishi; this reishi cannot be absorbed by anyone or anything other than Renjiro (e.g. the reishi cannot be absorbed by Quincy weapons). His normal fire manipulation is still in effect but he uses his hands to manipulate and form the fire instead of using this Zanpakuto.

Fire Dragons Breathe - He places his free hand to his lips and breaths an inferno of fire in front of him. Uses 1 stamina per use and is 3 meters wide by 2 meters tall by as much as 30 meters long.

Fire Dragons Skin - His entire skin turns to scales making his skin as tough as re-enforced steel. Indefinite use until Renjiro returns his zanpakuto to its unreleased normal.

Physical attacks (like punches) or physically formed elements (ice or earth spear) have very little damage (reduced by 25%) however the force behind them can still knock Renjiro back.

In addition being that dragons are naturally fire busied creatures the scales have the abilities take fire attacks head on and nullify their heat attacks (for kido below 25) and reduce kido 26+ by 50%. However nullifying the heat effects of a fire kido does not mean that the force and strength behind a fire kido is negated at all.

The main weakness of the scale like armour is the fact that it is fire busied. Therefore its logical weaknesses are water and ice. All water and ice techniques are given an extra 10% effectiveness if the technique has a 50 or lower kido ranking. On the other hand if the kido is greater than 51+ than the extra effectiveness is 15%.

The unusual elements that have no real direct weakness or strength to the scale like armour is earth and lightning. The earth element has no real effect on the armour as its use is mainly physically formed projectiles. Lightning on the other hand is the opposite. Its damage is the same as if the scales weren’t there but the lightning’s effects on the body are reduced from paralysing to numbing. An additional note is that non elemental binding kido is 100% effective as if the armour wasn’t there.

Fire Dragons Fists - Fire will engulf both his hands and to an easy 800 degrees c - Can only be used for one attack and then deactivates. The fire from this technique does not damage him while it’s activate. This is because of a special thin layer of dragon scales that cover his hands and only have the effect of negating the flames heat.

Other informarion Due to the nature of creating fire and manipulating it in its shikai form Renjiro takes control of an opponent’s fire kido and due to the power of his shikai form Renjiro can manipulate any fire kido up to level 35.

Zanpakuto Release Phrase: Burn to the heavens, Kaiton Ryū!

Zanpakuto Spirit:

Kaiton Ryū, the fire dragon of the east, is a lazy dragon standing on its hind legs at 9ft. He wears sunglasses and smokes a pipe of tobacco.

Bankai Information
(This applies to captains, and advanced lieutenants only)

Bankai Description:

Bankai Version 1

When this form of bankai has been activated his shikai abilities to manipulate fire become easier and therefore allow Renjiro to manipulate any fire busied attack or kido he uses. The only exception to this is when he tries to manipulate his opponent’s kidos then he can only manipulate level 1 - 50 fire busied kido. With kido level 51 - 70 Renjiro would only be able to bend it off target by 3 inches but not control it. Anything above 70 (aka 71+), cannot be controlled or bent.

This bankai form also increases the power of the fire that he produces. It changes to baby blue signifying its change in combustion state from incomplete combustion to complete combustion, raising the speed and strength of the fire.

However because of the strength and power of his bankai Renjiro needs a lot of concentration and pure will power to manipulate this type of fire and therefore lasts for 10 posts and has a cool down of 5. In addition the whips he was able to produce in his shikai form are boosted to the strength and speed of a level 50 kido.

Bankai form 2

By offering his sword with the phrase "BANKAI! Kaiton Ryū!". With this his sword will break down into burning hot ash. This ash will stay burning forever until his bankai wears off and will produce the amount of burning hot ash shown below.: -

	Amount of Ash Produced
Captain level	150 m3
Vice Captain Level	70 m3
3rd Seat Level	45 m3

The way in which Renjiro manipulates this burning ash is with his hands. He can compact and spread the ash to defend or attack. The ash itself produces the same heat of 1,000 °C just like his bankai version 1.

Bankai 2 Attacks

Ash Burning Shield - When his Bankai 2 is activated he will manipulate the ash around him to form a thick 30 centimetre barrier anyway around him. It will be able to block any form of oncoming attack (under a 75 level) whether it’s destructive or binding kido.

Ash burning attack - When his Bankai 2 is activated he will manipulate the ash around him to form a constant barrage of burning ash. This constant barrage is equivalent to a constant barrage of a level 50 kido and can be manipulated and moved at any point to any location.

An additional note Renjiro can use both of these techniques if he has enough burning ash to defence and attack.

Addition boosts to stats and kido

Raises fire based kido strength and speed, therefore raising their kido number. See below for table.

	0 -30	31 - 60	61 - 89	90+
Captain level	+35	+15	+10	+5 (max 99)
Vice Captain Level	+20	+10	+5	+3
3rd Seat Level	+15	+5	+0	+0

Abilities

Hohō

Agility (歩法, hohō; lit. step method) is an important skill for most shinigami. Though never stated clearly it most likely relates to the Shinigami ability to walk on air using spiritual power. By collecting and solidifying Reishi beneath their feet, Shinigami can gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop themselves from falling.

Shunpo (瞬歩, Flash steps), a movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow.[2]. The focal point that determines the bases of this technique is speed. As speed is the main point of the technique the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps. Training and skill are what determines how fast a user of shunpo can move; those of little skill in the technique or those who haven't used it an extended amount of time would obviously be out of practice, causing those individuals to be considerably slower, which requires the use of more steps to achieve higher speed and become winded far easier in a shorter amount of time.

The agility and speed of Hohō can be enhanced and improved through mastery of it, concentration, and training. The foremost practitioners of this technique are those assigned to the Onmitsukidō.

Masters of the technique are obviously by far the fastest beings within Soul Society. Maintaining high speed movements for extended periods of time while only using the least amount of steps to achieve those movements. Masters are capable of using Advanced steps which are considerably harder to initiate. A master can possibly create new techniques but it’s most likely a rare occurrence. [Renjiro is a master of this technique]

History and RP Sample

History:

Birth to Teenage years

Renjiro was born like any normal child of a shinigami. It was simple, relaxing and brought honour to his father as he had a first born son. As he was growing up his father taught him the ways of the Shinigami, how to become one and a master of their arts. Unknown to Renjiro he had a single benign tumor cell in the back of his head which would go un-noticed until his late 200s.

Teenage to Adult ( 28 )

During this time from 13 to 28 Renjiros training changed from learning from books and from his dad to real life training and development of his skills. He developed his skills in all area to that of a 3rd seat shinigami by the age of 25 but he never put in to being a shinigami because he wanted to be care free while training and becoming powerful enough to take the captains seat of the 1st squad. On Renjiros 28th birthday his dad handed him a sword, an ancient sword that nobody in his family for 500 years had managed to control or communicate with its soul. Renjiro touched it and heard a 'hello' at which point it glowed a extremely dim red colour. His father stood shocked explaining why he was shocked and instantly put a request for Renjiro to join the soul society.

Becoming a Shinigami

The request was granted on the basis Renjiro could prove his power and worth as a shinigami. His examiner walked up and instantly attacked Renjiro with his sword. As a counter-measure Renjiro just took out his sword and blocked it using a simple blocking stance and position. Renjiro then ran backwards going upwards as well as backward into the air (about 4 meters). When this happened his sword glowed the very dim red again with a voice saying 'Damn you kid listen to me'. Renjiros reply was "What the hell this swords speaking to me". He ran at the examiner slashing at him until he ran out of breath and ended it with a final slash cutting the examiners shoulder. 'STOP!' shouted a man in the distant; it was the leader of soul society. He snapped his fingers and a team of 10 people rushed in behind him 'you boy are now a shinigami' and throw Renjiro a standard shinigami uniform 'take this, you've impressed me very much young one and please be pleased with your 3rd seat of squad 6. Be careful and don’t die like the last one'. Renjiro gulped and replied "Err thank you I guess".

Life as a Shinigami

Renjiros life as a shinigami was harsh, full of anger and death. He was surrounded by death and more comrades disappearing faster than ever. The soul society needed a leader on the front lines and Renjiro took that step and stood up to the mark leading from the front. Renjiro spent many, many years killing hollows and other enemies of the soul society. When he turned 215 that year was a turning point in Renjiro life as he was made Vice Captain of the 5th Squad. During his time as a the Vice Captain his time was more spent in the office than on the battle field however he spent this time enhancing his shikai form and awakening his bankai. For a Vice Captain he awakened his bankai rather late but he made up with this spare time that he had as a Vice Captain. During the time of war Renjiro had plenty to do with constant missions and assassination attempts. His potential grew with every battle he won, however the price for this growth was far too high in Renjiros opinion. Many years had passed from the day that he was made Vice Captain of the 5th squad.

When he reached 303 he decided it was time to get a total body examination. The scan came back all ok until the 12th day of tests when the top medical shinigami from the 3rd division came into Renjiros bay. They broke the news of his tumor which despite being 303 years old was the size of the 5 pence coin (for you americans google it lols). They put this down to his use of reishi that stopped its growth for all these years. They explained if he had been born with it in any other race he would have died in his early 30s. His eyes was wide and his pupils diluted but small, and with that the operation began to get most of it removed and to start treatment. The operation was a success and the doctors removed 96% of the tumor but with the 4% left would mean it would grow back even more agressive and further into the frontal regions of his brain which control balance and aggression. It was now 122 days after his diagnosis and he had just finished the planned 8 doses of light chemotherpy, 3 doses of radiotherpy and the final 2 doses of high intensity chemotherpy. During this time his heart had stopped twice, due to the chemotherpies effects, and had 2 strokes. 135 days after his diagnosis he was given the all clear and was put into remission and as of yet he has remained in remission ever since. He never fully recovered his fitness, weight, balance and mental strength until he turned 323.

He currently turned 885 and his current kill rate is 1,289 hollows, 2 Bounto, 4 Espada and a single Vaizard. Renjiro could feel he was starting to get older and it was time to advance. The kill count shows what he was doing in the past 562 years. After his battle with a powerful Vaizard and coming back battered, bruised and cut from head to toe he was appointed the Captain of the 5th squad as reward for this and for his commitment to the soul society. This is where we continue his journey and what the future itself has installed for him is unknown to all.

RP Sample:

The day was fine and extremely hot with a lovely free flowing wind. The wind was lovely as it swept across Renjiros face and swept through his long black hair. The breeze was relaxing and calming but the heat was intense. The heat meant that no training could be done due to the increased risk of heat stroke which annoyed Renjiro but it was nice to take a day off training. He decided to make the most of his day off by going past many his ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriends houses to see what they was up to. On his way his mind drifted and went to a time when the he was happy with each of them but his homosexual relationships was shunned by the other shinigami because of their sexuality. It was a shame but a gay couple was a rare sight to see in this world, so it was thrown upon by almost every person in the soul society. However Renjiro was used to this, his whole family annexed him and took away his status within the family until he was rewarded his seating in the 5th squad. However the clan was forced to except him although they believed quite the opposite. Renjiro could never choose what he was and if he could choose to be straight he wouldn't as that would narrow his 'market'.

He reached the door of his latest ex-boyfriend and knocked however there was no answer after two minutes of knocking and waiting so he moved on towards his room. However on the way he found his long time friend Ki Lai, a kendo master, and Renjiro smiled at him. The smile was reciprocated and the pair walked together towards Renjiro room. The conversation on the way was light and funny; it was obvious the pair was quite well suited to be together however they were best of friends and nothing more. The night drew in and the pair had been talking for a period of 5 hours catching up on the stuff, which included drinking 5 bottles of sake and other alcoholic beverages, they had been doing since they last saw each other and filling the other in on training secrets with each other. Ki Lai yawned and Renjiro waved him goodbye with a long and heartfelt wave.

The sun went down and Renjiro went to his secluded and secret 5th squad training area where nobody was about and whipped out his Zanpakuto saying "Burn to the heavens, Kaiton Ryū!" and with that it transformed and released an inferno of fire shooting forwards towards the steel barricade that he trained against. The barricade held solid but was now glowing a white colour. Renjiro sighed looking at it and sheathed his sword as it returned to normal. "Someday I will rule the place I swear!"

Completed and open to staff to nerf. Please one mod at a time. Thanks

Very well put abilities. I really like them.

However, you are lacking in the areas such as History and personality could use a little more. I mean your over 800 years old, you could add something in there.

history added to. Personality is long enough IMO

Personality can easily be another paragraph, atleast.

ok ill get to it

done

Approved.

can this get locked and moved please?
