Ryonnen Tageshi (Shinigami)

Race: Shinigami

Age: Appears to be in 35 actual age 359

Gender: Male

Division: One

Rank: Lieutenant

Personality: In battle, Ryonnen is generally quiet, quick, and precise despite his disadvantage of not being able to control his zanpakto to Captain level at all times. Out of battle, Ryonnen can be brutish, acting as if he does not recognize his strength and does not seem pragmatic, acting wildly and inconsiderate.

Appearance: Ryonnen stands at about 6'1 with dyed black hair which begins at his forehead with a Caesar cut but the rest falls down as straight hair which does not pass his shoulders, though it is generally in an unruly mess unless otherwise specified. His face is not wrinkled and shaved. He has naturally violet eyes and he wears a white vest made of light material, similar to a captain's haori only it only has an upper section, though technically it is still a variation of a haori. Under his haori is a kimono with a regular shinigami kimono’s torso, but customized sleeves and pants. His haori is held onto his body by a violet sash. His arms both hold three bands; some purple and some orange. His arms are covered by the sleeves of an Onmitsukido member with white and black weavings from his elbow to his wrists. He has a bulky athletic build, so his forearms are considerably muscular, but not like as those of a bodybuilder. He wears long jika-tabi and tight bands around his lower legs while his thigh has a looser fit, but less cloth than the regular Shinigami pants. Unless otherwise specified, Ryonnen generally has a very large tattoo of a Chrysanthemum in black across the left side of his chest. Though his forearms are only modestly muscular, the rest of Ryonnen’s body (mainly the parts that are covered) show Ryonnen is very muscular having larger than average upper arms, chest, abdomen, and legs.

Biography: Ryonnen was born into the Tageshi family, a second-class nobility family, so he’s told, but most of his time there is very hazy to him. He remembers his parents teachings though. He clearly remembers his father constantly repeating to him "Always strive for your best." Everything else he remembers was never seeing his father again and never knowing who either of his parents were. He remembers his dad having sandy, blond hair and his mother being dark-skinned but nothing more. While he was growing up in a Rukongai area, his parents were said to be at their jobs in Seireitei but no one ever told him whether they were shinigami or not. Though he had many personal tutors hired to teach him several subjects such as mathematics, physics, etc., most of his time was spent in combat training. Ryonnen worked tirelessly on hakudo and some zanjutsu, since his family generally produces distinguished members of the 11th division but Ryonnen was always fascinated by hoho and kido, so he had to make a deal with his guardian: if Ryonnen was able to overpower his older brother, a seated member of the eleventh division, he would go off to train however Ryonnen wanted. His guardian agreed, which is why Ryonnen practiced hakudo and zanjustsu for years, finally succeeding in overpowering his brother. Immediately, Ryonnen applied for the Onmitsukido and got accepted. He remained there for a firm 100 years, reaching Sansaki in Onmitsukido and the Second Division. After reaching this position, the Captain of Second Division recommended him to become a Captain, but Ryonnen had not paid enough mind to his zanpakto to fully control his Bankai, so Ryonnen scored much less than another applicant. Sure that Ryonnen was much more qualified than the new Captain, the Second Division Captain ordered Ryonnen to assassinate the Captain, without Ryonnen knowing who he was to kill. Ryonnen successful, and rather swiftly, defeated the Captain, but fled to not receive credit, since that was policy of the Onmitsukido. Division 12 found out he did this and reported it to Sotaicho, who declared Ryonnen the new Captain of Division 10. After this, Ryonnen quit the Onmitsukido and joined the Kido Corps for 70 years while upholding his duty as Captain. Ryonnen finally decided to stop working with the Kido Corps to finally concentrate on his zanpakto and division more. After some years with his division, he accepted a promotion to work directly under Sotaicho as Ichibantai's Lieutenant.

Inner World appearance: A dark center room with lavish mansion features in the horizon, so they are always seen, but never reached. The mansion background is more sensed than seen, so that any in this world know the outskirts look like a mansion, but cannot define them (like when you close your eyes and your sure it looks black but the color cannot truly be defined.)

Zanpakto name: Kenmuseigen (Sword without limits)

Spirit: A young teen who’s body is completely shrouded by a long black jacket reaching down to his feet.

Sealed form: A regular katana. Standard sized with intricate gold and red weavings which can be unwoven quite
easily.

Release command: Watashi-tachi no tadai natsuin ni kaihou (Release our many, heavy seals)

Abilities: Default - After releasing the zanpakto, the user is able to send reshi, reiroku, and reiatsu through their zanpakto as pure, raw energy. The inhibition is that all energy sent through the zanpakto came from the user, which means it is not infinite and the more energy released requires greater focus and physical stability.
In regular form, there are no techniques. All attacks would only consist of blasts of purple reiatsu varying in strength.
Shikou Ryouken (Execute intentions) - This release allows the user to dictate how the energy flow will release from the zanpakto and how it will act. This form of Shikai requires reshi to do any zanpakto-related activities, even keeping a physical form of the zanpakto.

Techniques:

1. Yochiheika (Earthen Arms) – The reshi moved through the zanpakto produces an undetectable pulse which gives the reiatsu access or a link to the ground, allowing it to move reshi from the user to the ground and push out an arm(s). The attack requires less reshi when the user inserts the zanpakto into the ground but does not require earth to make the arm(s), meaning they can be made out of pure reiatsu, though there are generally weaker.
   
2. Nagareboshi (Shooting Star) – The user’s shoots out a comet made of reshi and reiatsu which hits both the physical body but also severs the opponent’s reshi ties, releasing some of the opponent’s reshi into the surrounding area as useless friction.
   
3. Kakuesu (Aerial Ace) – The user forces reshi from another sources to become air-like particles of reshi which cannot be absorbed but are held in a light-like orb around the an area on the user or the zanpakto and are released again in a possibly with added reiatsu.
   
4. Ibarakago (Thorn Cage) – The user’s reshi is sent out as an undetectable pulse which forces thorny vines with quickly leech on the opponent’s reshi and reiyoku to survive and release their kanshishou (first stab) which simple makes them stab the opponent instead of just leeching, nibankire (second cut) where they attempt to slice the opponent apart and koukiesa (final feed) where they suck twice as much reshi and reiyoku then wither.

Inner World Appearance: Very similar to the shikai world's appearance except the mansion like view is more archaic.

Spirit Appearance: An elaborately clothed man whose face is hidden by a mask and his clothes is very vague and morphing at random whims and unpredictable instances.

Command: Bankai

Bankai Name: Sugoiden no Kenseikerei (Heavenly Soul Sword of Great Range)

Abilities: The zanpakto deteriorates into pure, transcendent reiatsu that is not reachable nor can it be felt by any being. The zanpakto continues its regular functions of Shikai.
Kenhata no Sugoiden (Great range of sword's edge): The release allows the user to dictate how the energy flow will release from the zanpakto and how it will act. If Shikou Ryouken was active in Shikai, Kenhata no Sugoiden will be active in bankai.

Techniques:

1. Soubumen (Phase Layering) – The zanpakto spontaneously causes sudden death 2D shapes to appear in the air to block any attacks.
   
2. Dobisukire (Draconic Savage Slice) –The user’s reshi is compressed greatly into a strikingly violet mist around the medium for the attack. When the attack is released, the reshi is converted to reiatsu instantaneously, causing the force of the mediums attack to double the strength it would have had if the reshi would have been released normally.
   
3. Myako Dendou (Thunder Attack) – The zanpakto makes lightning quickly shoot out of circles formed in the air.
   
4. Haseigo Naiyou (Derivative Matter) – The user summons a pulse which, when attacks, shoots its attack out through another pulse which amplifies the amount of matter used by ten times, demanding half of the reshi for the attack from the user.
