[/i] attitude. Finds it rather stupid and hates it, he just likes to appear different then the every day ‘Jo’.[ X ]
Name: Sumiyaka Shikaku
Age: 56 ( appears 21 )
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 171 lbs
Appearance:
That’s also why he has silver hair. It places rather well with his figure, he doesn’t really comb it or anything and it just places around his face rather well is all. He has been complimented on how ‘smooth’ and then of course after looking from his hair, to rather smooth and slim face, you’ll see his blue eyes. Like looking into a clear blue ocean, lighter then the feathers of a Blue Jay; like taking a trip to Venice and enjoying every second of it. The greatest feature of Shikaku is without the slightest doubt, his eyes. Then his smooth and well formed lips with his bright teeth and that ever so gentle smile. Moving from his face down towards his upper body, Shikaku is fit, not enough to be considered a body builder but enough to show the firm muscle against his smooth skin.
As for what he wears, he often times wears blue, to compliment his eyes having on a loose but not too lose blue shirt. The outline of this blue shirt is dark blue and has some rather ‘neat’ design on it, and he also wears his hoodie that fits perfect against his body. The hoodie has light blue and white stripes. Around his hands are also black gloves that fit around his hands well, normal pretty much to be quite honest, well, normal attire for a human. Then following down towards his fit waist and legs, which are also smooth; there normally some rather long shorts, jeans you could say. Black in color with a design near the edges, he also has this loose black belt dangling where it should, just to give it that extra ‘coolness’. Then to end it all, Shikaku has just your every day navy blue shoes that seem to always go with whatever outfit he has on.[/ul]
History:
Shikaku lived the semi normal life that anyone lived. Goes to school when he was younger and then University when he was older; always attempting to be the life of the party but never really could. Only reason was because he was more or less, relaxed about most situations. Later, he did realize this, and when he did he sorta was just that ‘cook kid’ always seeming relaxed and never letting any situation get out of hand. Don’t get this twisted with the whole ‘emotionless’ attitude. He shows emotion many times over but he just seemed to enjoy life be relaxing and taking it easy.
So in a sense, taking it slow and never seeming like some wild idiot looking to get his ‘fix’. Everyone seemed to like it, liked the way he acted about things. He had always listened and never really talked much about himself unless he was well, asked. He liked and still does like to listen. He can’t explain why, but he just does, help people he guesses. So in turn, he’s the ‘cool good guy’ but when we say ‘cool’ it really means more of the whole relaxed person. Anyway, one day, he was with a good friend who was a little ‘drunk’ while driving and the friend drove head on into a rather large truck. Killing both him, and his friend.
Once both he and his friend had died, Shikaku wasn’t quite sure where he was. The buildings seemed so run down, it almost seemed like a gritty project. His whole attitude of just remaning calm still was playing its roll, and quite well for being dead but he hadn’t known what to make of this ‘new’ life. He wasn’t sure what the hell he should do, was this what he was suppose to do? Was this even death? Everything was just so damn clueless and people would just tell him this was Soul Society. So was this Heaven? Was his next question and every time he asked such question, they simply shrugged and it made everything so damn clueless.
After living there for quite some time, in this gritty project, Shikaku started to learn how to fight. It wasn’t the greatest life he lived that’s for sure, but he still remained calm about things. Though he always wished he could have lived in the ‘other’ world longer. Anyway, his reaction time was quite good and with that, he learned how to wield a Katana but that was it. Nothing more then such, until someone from the Gotei 13 came into his village area. He seemed so rich compared to Shikaku and anyone else from the village. Really, he was just an average Shinigami but it was just something about him, and because he ‘stood out', Shikaku made sure he got into the academy so he could ‘stand out’.
New 7th Division Member
Eventually Shikaku got into the academy, just an average every day member. Where he was from, after death though; the village, he was looked down upon. Since it wasn’t somewhere ‘nice’ he was looked on as someone that wouldn’t be more then an average Shinigami. Shikaku didn’t care though, he never did. He just simply take someone out if they challenged him, and if they didn’t he just kept his cool. Tried to introduce yourself and Shikaku was as open as anyone else, maybe more. Though he wasn’t the greatest at his studies, he was great at most Kido showings and Shunpo but he wasn’t that great at actually doing test.
So in turn, he barley passed, but in the end, passing is well, passing. However, with his test scores being so low, the Captains had questioned his ability and it took some time before Shikaku was then recruited in the 7th Division. Really, Shikaku hadn’t cared where he ended up, as long as he ended up somewhere. He figured just as long as he could get into somewhere that was good enough. Though with his style of standing out but not ‘intentionally’ it didn’t sit well with most higher ups. However, what Shikaku makes of this opportunity has yet to be seen…
The Hollow Encounter
Shikaku’s first few weeks into becoming a 7th Division Shinigami he had encountered his first hollow and was able to live. It had become like any other normal morning; waking up and then encountering two individuals that he hadn’t seen before. One’s name had been Yahiko and the others had been Meimu; both shinigami like himself. The morning had presented them with a spectacular view that rivaled anything his light blue optics had ever seen and along with meeting two individuals the morning seemed to show signs of a good ass day.
Though an hour or maybe minutes later a hollows reaitsu had unmasked and shown itself behind the three of them. He had been fast, faster then Shikaku was but not by a mile; Shikaku could still barley read his movements and because of such he was able to escape the hollows first ground pounding strike and he was able to save Yahiko in the process of this attack. Through the entire battle Shikaku was dodging and was only able to get one good shot in on the hollow which had seemed to be the basis of the hollows retreat though this said hollow had taken Meimu with it.
Not only did Shikaku encounter a hollow he had also countered another individual that seemed to use reiatsu guns or something of the sort. Which after Shikaku had escaped he had learned of who this other individual was, a Quincy. Shikaku being able to escape started to push himself, started to push his training regiments into something beyond his normal so the next time he were to encounter a hollow, if hostile, he would be ready.

Rank: 2
Division: 7th
Seat: Unseated
Zanpakutou
Appearance:
Any ‘normal’ Katana though the sheathe is blue, not the light blue that Shikaku wears often but more royal navy. More so because Mizu Purinsesu thinks that royal blue looks better on Shikaku then light or navy blue. The blade itself shines bright when the suns rays beam down against it and the blade is made of highly respected steel.[/ul]
Manifestation:
Purinsesu is a true sight to be seen. Teal glowing hair that slides all the way down her back like a smooth flowing river; glowing teal eyes that even surpass Shikaku’s very light blue eyes. Her simple but yet elegant dress always seems to be glowing against her well portioned body as well. She seems to have this playful but always argumentative interior towards Shikaku but Shikaku doesn’t mind it and considers Purinsesu the greatest friend that he’s ever had and she feels the same way towards him.[/ul]
Inner World:
The smoothest of running waterfalls, hearing the water crash against the small river below as you can see the formation of rocks near and above the very river this waterfall is crashing into. Long and tall, but lush grass is above this very river with a small wooden bridge leads to the area on top of the waterfall with beautiful fauna everywhere. One looks at it and calls it a paradise, another would say beauty but both of them agree on peaceful.[/ul]
Release Phrase: Splash, Mizu Purinsesu

Kido
- Hadō No. 1: Sho (Way of Destruction: Push)
Type: Destruction Art.
Description: Gathering a tiny bit of reiatsu into the hands, the user will then place their dominant hand forward, palm extended towards the target. Then, placing their non-dominant hand behind it in the form of a cross, the hands will begin to glow with a white light. This light will then push away from the user, toppling whatever is struck by the push and sending it flying backwards.
Incantation: Broken bindings, spirit of domination, rush against the currents, shatter all sins! Hado no Ichi: Sho!
Restrictions: --- - Hadō No. 1: Hotaru (Way of Destruction No.1: Firefly)
Type: Art of Destruction
Description: Forming a circle in between one’s hands, several dozens of fireflies fly out. Swarming towards the desired target, once the user of the spell gives the command – clapping their hands together – all fireflies light up with extremely bright flashes.
Incantation: Sparkle in the eyes of the unbelievers! Darting firefly, Hadō no Ichi: Hotaru!
Restrictions: --- - Hadō No. 4: Miburuichi (Way of Destruction: Shuddering Earth; alt: One Shudder)
Type: Destruction Art.
Description: In an attempt to dislodge the opponent, the user will channel a great amount of reiatsu amongst the ground, sending the reiatsu into the ground and allowing it to meld with the Earth, or alternatively anything that the user is standing upon, even if it's the air. This creates a large ripple of energy flowing through the objects, which in turn creates a large wave that attempts to dislodge anyone within the area of effect from their standing position. The wave is only two-dimensional, allowing for easy dodging of the attack.
Incantation: Moan of agony, twisting deadly, Buddha's palm, crest of life may do no wrong! Hado no Yon: Miburuichi!
Restrictions: --- - Hadō No. 7: Kosharashi (Way of Destruction: Withering Tempest)
Type: Destruction Art.
Description: The user extends their hand, and begins the chant for the technique. As the user chants the incantation, a large amount of wind quickly swirls around the user's hand, forming a square shape around the user's hand. As the incantation finishes, a blue light completely envelops the user's hand, and the square formation around the hand will then rapidly extend outwards. With gale-force winds being released in a straight line around the size of a square meter from the square formation around the user's hand, the caster will attempt to strike the opponent with the wind force to deal crushing damage to them.
Incantation: Storm, powerful, demanding; gather in heaven and descend upon us mortals. Rear your head, and unleash your wrath! Hado no Nana: Kosharashi!
Restrictions: --- - Hadō No. 8: Eiei Arashi (Way of Destruction: Thunderstorm Ravens)
Type: Destruction Art.
Description: As the user begins the incantation, a speck of blue light will appear upon their index finger. Tracing this light in the shape of a raven, the user will continue to chant the spell. As the user finishes the incantation, they will have traced a number of small raven forms within the air, which are illuminated with the same blue light. After the incantation is finished, the user will call out the name of the spell, activating it. Each drawn raven will burst into life with a potent electrical current. These ravens will then dart quickly towards the opponent, attempting to strike them. Depending upon the number of ravens that have been drawn, the user can create a warning shot with no harm with a singular raven, to an incredibly damaging attack with a swarm of electrical ravens. The average drawn raven will be no larger than an inch in height or width, although larger ravens can be drawn to create a more powerful attack, at the expense of additional energy.
Incantation: Storm, powerful, demanding; gives wings to your essence and deliver your forbidden judgment. Hado no Hachi: Eiei Arashi!
Restrictions: Must have knowledge of Kosharashi. - Hadō No. 51: Chikenhi (Way of Destruction No. 51: Thousand Blade Hail)
Type: Destruction Art
Description: The user will draw their off hand in towards their chest, as if to cover their heart. They will then sweep a reiatsu-enhanced dominant hand in front of them in a one-hundred forty-degree arc, leaving a ghostly impression of an arc of innumerable blue blades of light where the user’s hand passed. All at once the blades will solidify and shoot forward in an arc of a thousand stabbing blades of blue energy, each like a flying sword.
Incantation: Crickets achirp, red signs of madness, violet rope, emptiness declares the priest a sinner! The tears of the azure demon call ten thousand warriors! Bring forth the nightmare and break apart the sky! Hado no Gojuuichi: Chikenhi!
Restrictions: --
- Bakudō No. 4: Hainawa (Way of Binding No. 4: Crawling Rope)
Type: Binding Art.
Description: An ability that is both simplistic and useful, and as such it can commonly be seen in practice. It is especially favored amongst members of the Fourth Division, who cannot get a patient to stop struggling against treatment. Gathering Reiatsu, the user will speak the incantation, and then condense the energy as a chain of light from the index and middle fingers of the user's dominant hand, which are held together. The chain will then quickly fly towards the opponent, attempting to act as a restraint to prohibit the opponent from moving. Once bound, the chain is capable of being tied to another object to hold the opponent; the user is not required to maintain the connection between the chain and their hand, allowing them to then perform other actions.
Incantation: My will to succeed be the rope that sustains you; let my breath of light be the light to guide you. Bakudo no Yon: Hainawa!
Restrictions: --- - Bakudō No. 23: Juujika Awaikusari (Way of Binding No. 23: Cross Light Chain)
Type: Binding Art
Description: The user thrusts both of their palms to the sides, and then sweeps them inward, forming a picture square with their fingers. Four crosses made of blue-white light will rise around the target in all four directions, forming a square about four meters in length. Chains of blue-white light will burst from the center of these crosses, one binding to each of the four limbs of the target. These chains can hold a target for two rounds.
Incantation: Blue and white rain! Ten candles, fourteen suns, the loss of a single chariot! Blue lines intersect the core of a threatened king, a thousand white links hold the heart of the assassin at bay! Bakudo no Nijuusan: Juujika Awaikusari!
Restrictions: Must know No. 4 Hainawa. - Bakudō No. 31: Kochou (Way of Binding No. 31: Butterfly)
Type: Art of Binding
Description: Smashing one’s hands together, air around the user flows into the shape of massive wings made out of air attached to the users back. The wings then start moving back and forth, with such massive strength that they create a gust that will blow anyone in it’s path many dozens of meters away, often scattering any equipment even further. The gusts last for three posts before the wings disappear.
Incantation: Descending from the skies above! Rumors, whispers, gasps of awe! Bless us lands, defeat the ocean! Remove sin from our paths! Fluttering Butterfly, Bakudō no Sanjuichi: Kochou!
Restrictions: ---
