Looks:

Sumiyaka is a tall to medium height man, standing at six feet and two inches in height. Also, he weighs one hundred and sixty three pounds. Sumiyaka's body is shaped by his large muscles, such as his biceps that make his arm strong and thick. He has large abdominals, pectorals, and triceps that all make him strong looking. He is relatively skinny, but his muscles form the width of his body. Sumiyaka has long, dirt brown hair, which is rounded at the top, but spikes downwards. Also, he wears his back hair in a wild, foot long pony tail, with a golden lock securing his hair in place. Sumiyaka's skin is well tanned, giving him a skin color that woman easily fall for. His eyes are also brown. His determination and fierce will shine through his eyes, and can intimidate a weaker soul. Around his neck, he wears a metal woven necklace, which is unique because it has a row of hooked, sharp teeth across it, all of them from the same monster that Sumiyaka killed as a young Shinigami.

The teeth all point clockwise around him. Sumiyaka wears a white, long sleeved undershirt. Over that, he wears a black, hooded sweatshirt, which appears to be a band shirt of some kind because of the many colors and large, pop-out letters for a band, “Atreyu”, an American band that Sumiyaka enjoys listening to. The sleeves are rolled up a little, and so the white sleeves of his undershirt are visible. Sumiyaka wears dark gray jeans with a tan belt. He wears white and black sneakers as well. When using a Gigai, he does not have his Soul Slayer visible.

When not using his Gigai, and doing other things, he wears a different set of clothes. Underneath all of his clothing, he will wear a web mesh undershirt, which has sleeves that extend only to the area behind his elbow. Over his undershirt, Sumiyaka will wear a long sleeved, warm black shirt, with the ends of his sleeves being shaped like collars. Over his blach shirt, he has samurai-like, crimson-brown armor. He has a piece of armor on his upper arm that covers the top half of it, along with his shoulder, as well as armor strapped to the area behind his wrist, covering part of his forearm, and his hand. He wears four different pieces of armor on his torso, all connected. He has two identical plates of armor on his chest, with both of them shaped like trapezoids, with the bottom half being smaller. Also, he has a piece of armor on his shoulder, and it has a neck guard, which protects against neck cuts.

Also, he has a belt like armor piece, with plates of armor being tied together by various materials. It is what holds his Zanpakuto. It has two straps at the front where the large, wide belt is tied together. All of the pieces of armor on his torso are connected by metal woven in with other materials to form tough, durable threads. They are also strapped on. Sumiyaka wears pants that are similar to the color of his armor, which are a shade of red, only they are lighter than the dark red-brown color of the armor. The pants are warm, and a little baggy. His thighs have many plates of armor hanging down, with the plates progressively getting smaller. Also, he has armor strapped to both sides of his lower leg, similar to the curved armor on his wrists. He wears brown combat boots, with the tops of the boots covered by his pants.

Personality

The sharktooth necklace, rough ponytail, and large muscles suggest that Sumiyaka is a brutish person. However, he is far from a brute. In a normal situation, Sumiyaka is docile towards people, sometimes even his enemies. He is polite, and normally speaks calmly, unless there is an urgent situation, in which case it might appear as if Sumiyaka was panicking. Despite the fact that Sumiyaka does not enjoy battle and fighting (anymore), he is very defensive, and would draw his sword on anybody who he perceives as a threat to himself, people who cares about, or his own pride. He is violent, and cunning in battle, and shows little mercy to anybody who has hurt him.

Sumiyaka is mature, and collected mentally. Though he sometimes loses his manners, and attacks, Sumiyaka is mostly able to control himself when he needs to. He is confident in his abilities, though he is not overconfident in his powers, and would not place himself in battle against a stronger foe unless he needed to, and he would not needlessly antagonize somebody. Sumiyaka is an apathetic person. Even if he pretends to, he usually does not care about somebody else's problems, and would rather just solve his own. This is not always the case, but Sumiyaka is rather distant from the other Vaizards as well as his own underlings in the past.

Sumiyaka is easily irritated by other people. Though he does not flip out or yell at people, he does give off hints that the annoying people usually do not take. He does not talk often, and keeps to himself. He is not one for words, and is easily offended by certain things, such as things said about his mother. Sumiyaka has a broad outlook on life. He believes life in itself sucks. It is short, and is far from perfect. He also believes that true peace in the spirit realms like Hueco Mundo and Soul Society can not be achieved, except through means that are considered cruel and immoral, such as brain-wash, and strict government. However, Sumiyaka would rather live free in a chaotic world then live a slave in a peaceful one.

Sumiyaka and his Zanpakutou are both rather different, but both have similar views on life. Zaryuudou's carefree, lax attitude differs from Sumiyaka's hardcore, strict demeanor. Sumiyaka is a good man, who really cares for the safety of others deep down. Though he is not a good team player, his strong will and intelligence is what helped to convince the other captains he could become one. He sometimes acts on his emotions, and often makes foolish mistakes, like any person does, but he is somebody you can really count on. The influence of his Inner Hollow always tries to get at Sumiyaka and cause him to lose control, but he is currently training to fight the beast inside of him.

Name: Honeyoukai [Bone Phantom]

Manifestation:
Honeyoukai has the ability to take on two different forms inside of Sumiyaka's mind. One of the forms that his Inner Hollow is capable of taking is the form of Sumiyaka's mother, who Honeyoukai is actually a part of, since it's part of her hollow spirit power inside of him. Sumiyaka's mother was a beautiful, young woman when she died. She had long brown hair, and pretty blue eyes. She is often seen wearing a long sleeved, very light tan shirt, with a pink apron, with a black skirt, and long socks with brown shoes. She was a very pretty individual, and she had a lovable face. Often, Honeyoukai will use this transformation to torture Sumiyaka when he visits his Inner world. He can make this form of himself disintegrate, bleed, and twist any way he wants it to. When he is finished, he can crush her from the inside out, and expel himself through the skin, which is discarded.

The true form of Honeyoukai is often shrouded in shadow-like mist and cloudy smoke that surrounds him. In reality, Honeyoukai takes the form of a unique demon not known to any kind of mythology. The creature resembles a Chimera. First of all, the whole monster is a skeleton. It has the warped body of some kind of carnivore mammal, maybe a lion, wolf, or hyena. It has horns sticking out from its back, and it has only a single pair of thick, powerful, clawed legs. Then, the rest of its body is more smooth, and terminates into a long, flexible tail. At the end of this tail is the armored head of a ghost-like elephant, with large tusks, markings on its cheek, and glowing yellow eyes. Its lower back has skeletal wings on it, which allow for flight. The head of the creature has a head that appears to be like a shark, with three rows of sharp teeth in each jaw, and curved, bull horns. The skeletal, armor like body of this creature has a circular area in which there is but emptiness, which is the Hollow hole, though most of its body is just hollow.

Unique Ability:
When Sumiyaka dons the Hollow Mask, Sumiyaka gains the ability known as Phasing. With this, he is able to vibrate the spirit particles of his body, and make them intangible. One thing he is capable of doing with this is the ability to phase his bone structure. Using his phasing ability, he will bend his bones in ways any normal soul could not. One good example for this would using the phasing ability on his bone structure to allow him to stretch his elbow to his mouth close enough to lick it. He can change the way his body is structured for short periods of time, allowing him to surprise his enemy in close quarters combat, as well as increasing his ability to dodge moves. This also allows him to use a deadly offense. Sumiyaka can phase his limbs, and even his sword to go inside of his enemies body, and attack them from the inside. He can solidify parts of himself to strike the internal structure of his opponent, making phasing very potent at close range.

He can also extend this phasing through objects that he touches, such as his sword, and he can use the sword to cut the insides of his foe, instead of trying to cut directly through their skin, he can make a clean, fatal slice through their heart. He could also phase through a sword, giving him a deadly advantage. Also, with this phasing ability, he gains the power to make his body travel through the ground. He can silently maneuver himself right under the surface if he wanted to, to surprise attack his foes. Phasing his body parts to avoid attacks can work, but phasing takes more energy when trying to phase through a fast moving thing, such as a swung sword, which is why traveling through the ground is so energy conserving. It takes three stamina points to phase through a swung sword, and two to phase through any other physical attack, like a punch or kick. Also, phasing can only help in dodging physical attacks. Kido, and kido/reiatsu based Zanpakutou abilities will damage Sumiyaka regardless if he is using Phasing powers. The simplest way to put it is that Sumiyaka can not dodge anything with phasing that a person can not hold in their hand [lightning, fire, aura, etc.] while he can avoid things like physical strikes, water, and earth and metal.

When dodging physical strikes like the ones mentioned above, as well as the swings of fists, and swords, and kicks, etc. the following system comes in to play. One use of phasing to dodge an attack will cause a stamina drain of three points of stamina. Then, another use of phasing can be used consecutively, or during the next post. Then, after that second use, the user must wait a post, and then he can use phasing again, with another drain, and then rinse and repeat.

Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Zaryuudou

Zanpakuto Looks:


Zanpakuto Description:
Zaryuudou, when it is in its sealed form, there are no special characteristics about it, besides the unique guard it has.

Released Zanpakuto Description:
In this form, Sumiyaka is capable of controlling the Mercury that his Zanpakutou takes the form of in Shikai state. He can manipulate the metal precisely, and use it for basic things such as shielding himself, or trying to drown his opponent. However, Zaryuudou can apply a “current” to the metal liquid, giving it lots of pulling power, and the ability to snare enemies, and drown them inside of the Mercury. Also, Sumiyaka has the ability to compress it into a solid form temporarily. In this temporary solid form, it has good defensive potential, as well as good offensive potential, with the ability to create offensive weapons like spikes and blades. This Shikai is useful because it can not be transformed into a solid or a gas by his enemy. It always remains in the state that Sumiyaka wishes it to be in.

Zanpakuto Release Phrase: “Liquefy, Zaryuudou”

Released Zanpakuto Looks:
When Sumiyaka utters the Release phrase for his Zanpakutou, he will hold the sword out in front of him, and the blade and hilt will melt into his Mercury liquid, and expand, forming a gush of this liquid, and creating about a hundred gallons of Mercury. His sword transforms into this state, meaning that Sumiyaka himself will not have a weapon to use against his foe. Mercury is very dangerous two the human body if it is ingested. It can sicken the enemy, and potentially kill them, depending on their spiritual power. Weak foes will die quickly, while foes with more power will become sicker over time.

Zanpakuto Spirit:
The manifestation of Sumiyaka's Zanpakutou takes on the form of a Kappa, which is a Japanese river imp. The creature has a thin, slimy body resembling a mans, with what appear to be abs on its stomach. It has long, skinny legs, and long skinny arms, and its hands and feet are webbed, which helps it to swim. Zaryuudou has a duck-like bill as his mouth, and open earholes. He has slit, dark eyes, with a yellow iris. He has what appears to be seaweed all over the top of his head as hair, and a bowl in it with water kept stored inside of the dish. Also, on his back, he has a plated, dark green shell, with teal blue outlines. His stomach is light tan color, while his skin and body are a cross between dark green and navy blue. Zaryuudou was originally hostile towards Sumiyaka, beckoning him to the stream in his inner world, and trying to “eat” him. However, as Sumiyaka grew, the two learned to deal with one another.

Zaryuudou is an apthetic, lax fellow. He seems to like to drink sake, and he likes “pretty girls”. He laughs a lot, even in serious situations where both of them are at risk. He agrees to “lend” Sumiyaka some of his power, even though Zaryuudou is just a part of Sumiyaka himself.

Zanpakuto Realm:
The inner realm inside of Sumiyaka's mind takes on the form of a serene, highland forest. The sky above is clear blue, with cirrocumulus clouds hanging in the sky above. The mountain forest has mostly flat ground, with loose, fertile soil. Large trees with dark green to dark brown trunks and green leaves make a roof above the forest. There are many wildflowers around the forest, mostly colored white, mostly in small clearings. In the middle of the area is a small stream that runs through the forest. It has very calm and clear waters, with Koi occasionally swimming through the river. Though the forest area seems to stretch for many, many miles, only maybe a fourth of a mile diameter area is accessible to Sumiyaka currently. If he tries to journey beyond this area of the forest, an invisible wall seems to prevent him from venturing beyond.

Bankai Information

Cannot be used until it is achieved, and trained for.

Bankai Description:
When Zaryuudou is release to the Bankai stage, the basic ability of Zaryuudou remains the same: the ability to control Mercury created by his sword. It also retains the same properties of the Mercury, such as the poisonous nature, and the ability to compress it. However, this time, the amount of usable Mercury Zaryuudou creates is many, many times higher than what his Shikai could produce, increasing its deadliness. An estimated 1000 gallons of mercury. In addition, when Sumiyaka uses Bankai, he creates a gigantic, unique, metal tortoise that can bend and walk, albeit slowly. It has operable ports on the bottoms of its feet, and at the top of his shell, as well as scattered across it, where the Mercury can be expelled from. The liquid is capable of carrying the giant tortoise by spreading out, and creating a surface that moves the giant monster. Also, the liquid can be built up at the ports at the feet, and release in a jet, to give the tortoise lift for only about ten seconds before it comes crashing to the earth. Sumiyaka can hide inside of the giant tortoise to avoid damage. Also, cutting off, crushing, or otherwise severing the head's connection to the rest of the tortoise will defeat it, and seal the Zanpakutou.

Defeating the Bankai of Zaryuudou takes more than just the power of a captain level Bankai. An "trump card" or "ace in the hole" kind of attack is needed to damage the body or the head of Issainza Saikoro Zaryuudou. And even then, depending on the attack, it might not always work. Also, it takes a level 60 or above Kido to deal any damage to this creature, and a 95 or above Kido will almost surely destroy it, if the attack is not defended against.

Bankai Looks:
When Sumiyaka says “Bankai” with the intention of summoning his Bankai, the liquid metal that formed his Shikai will once again expand, and this time, swirl around like a twister, whipping up a whole lot of dust, covering a lot of the transformation. The liquid metal forms what appears to be an internal structure of the turtle, with curved beams of metal making the shell, and other parts of the body. The metal then covers the spaces, and the details form, all inside of the dust tornado. It creates lots of spiritual pressure, making it dangerous to use anywhere, as it can cause lots of collateral damage, and Sumiyaka tries to refrain from using it.

When the Bankai transformation is finished, the dust will be blown away, and form small clouds of curved dust, which will reveal the giant tortoise. The diameter of the creature's width is barely greater than that of the Roman Coliseum. The tortoise has wrinkled, silver legs, which curve and hold the monster up. The shell of the beast is not normal. It resembles a painted Pagoda house, with wide floors at the bottom, terminating in size up to the very top. The shell is considered one of the most beautiful works of art in the Soul Society. It has many gold statues, and blocked, but well crafted windows, and small columns. It is hundreds of meters in height, including the turtle itself. The mouth of the turtle is hard, and shaped like a curved, raptor's [bird of prey, not dinosaur] beak. It has a large, gross looking gray tongue, and sharp spines inside of the mouth. There are slit shaped depressions in the face of the creature, with eyes that have black scleroses, white irises, and black pupils. It also has a band of smooth, yellow material that spands from the arrowhead tip located at the noise, and then stretches into the shell.

The beast has what appears to be a green visor sitting on its head, which are like sunglasses, and laser like attachments on the sides of it head, behind small craters on the sides of its head that are like earholes. Inside of this creature, the same liquid metal that is used by his Shikai is kept inside of this turtle's body. The shell and legs are many meters thick, but the insides of the turtle are composed of the Mercury that Sumiyaka uses in his Shikai.

Alterations: He is not changed physically at all when releasing his Bankai; except for releasing more spiritual pressure.

History and RP sample

History:

Tragically, Sumiyaka never lived a life as a human being. His parents were Itami and Masui Rhiannon, who were married a few years earlier, and tried to have a child during the very late eighteen-hundreds, where technology was much less sophisticated than it is today. Due to a birth complication, not only did Masui die during childbirth, but Sumiyaka also died during the process of birth. They both passed away, with Sumiyaka never truly living a human life. Normally, their two souls would have left the Human world, and went to the Soul Society. However, Masui's strong will and love for her husband not only prevented her from leaving, but her soul entombed Sumiyaka within her as well, meaning that the both of them were unable to go the Soul Society. Slowly, but surely, the holes in their hearts started to grow, and within time, one of them would become a Hollow. If Sumiyaka were to become a Hollow, he would've eaten Masui's soul from the inside out.

Masui's chain of fate eroded first, and the hole in her heart erupted open, turning her into a grotesque Hollow who died trying to protect her baby. She was no longer Sumiyaka's mother, but the young soul was trapped inside of the Hollow's “womb.” And then, a short while later, Sumiyaka's Hollowfied mother finally gave birth to her son. It was the first ever record of a Hollow giving birth to another soul. However, now Sumiyaka was no longer inside of her, and was no longer protected, and in the Hollow's eyes, was just another snack. However, right before he was going to be eaten, the Shinigami had arrived in the knick of time. It was a miracle. Any earlier, and they would have killed Masui, and by extension, kill the soul inside of her. Any later, and he would've been eaten. Finally, Sumiyaka was allowed to leave the earth, after witnessing her mother eat souls after souls, killing her husband as a Hollow. The soul burial sent the young Plus soul to the Rukongai to live alone.

Because of this experience, though even Sumiyaka did not learn about it until much later in his life, his incubation inside of the hollow's womb had left some of her Hollow self inside of her. Like how Sumiyaka rested inside of the hollow, this evil spirit rested inside of Sumiyaka, not meant to awaken for a long time. Sumiyaka found himself alone in the Rukongai, until he was picked up by an old appearing woman who ran an orphanage inside of Rukongai that took care of baby souls that found themselves in this place without knowledge of how to take care of themselves. However, within a short time, the old lady who ran the orphanage noticed how Sumiyaka got tired when he did not get food, and most people knew that anybody who needed to eat had the ability to use spiritual power. Knowing this, the woman tried to get the baby to go with the Shinigami, but he was too young, and turned down.

Mizuumi was her name. She ran a small orphanage that depended on her husband's work to get money to buy essentials for the few children she raised here. Sumiyaka was a playful baby, but everyone that lived there, and even the neighbors could feel it. The small amounts of reiatsu he emitted, some of it was more ominous than his own reiatsu. It was the hollow that was inside of him. The reiatsu slowly grew from inside of Sumiyaka, slowly developing, and one day, it would awaken alive, and the real trouble would begin. However, the trouble was already beginning. Over the years, the ominous reiatsu grew stronger, and especially at night, Sumiyaka's own reiatsu could not naturally suppress the reiatsu of his inner hollow. At night, sometimes, the babys that slept in the same building, and even the older souls that lived there would awaken, gasping for air because of the suffocating, killer reiatsu.

Finally, they could not deal with it anymore. It was a dark day in Sumiyaka's life. Mizuumi handed him to the Seiretei as quickly as she could, trying to protect the other souls, as well as her husband and herself. She said it was not because of him, but really, they thought it wasn't him. It was the killer inside of him. The remains of his mother had grew inside of him, and was “birthed”. Because he had a reiatsu dangerous to normal Plus's, the Court of Pure Souls had no choice but to take him, and try and teach him to control this reiatsu of his in the Shinigami Academy. He was one of the youngest souls ever to enter the academy. He did well for a soul as young as he was, but he was restricted from graduating to the higher classes because it was more hands on things that could put the young soul. He was like a five year old at this time.

In the mean time, the research and development bureau tried to find the problem with his malevolent reiatsu, but the hollow inside of him could see everything he did. She was not yet strong enough to break free, but she was able to disguise her reiatsu, and con the scientists working for the Gotei 13. He was about sixty years old when he was finally allowed to take more advanced courses that demanded much more from Sumiyaka than simply taking notes, doing projects and the like. He was now made to do things such as learn basic Kido spells, use a Soul Slayer in combat, and the practices of Shinigami to help kill hollows, and keep the human world peaceful. Though he was young, he still did well compared to the other, older students, who he outdid often. He was a very good fighter, and was a good Kido user at well. Sumiyaka graduated from the Shinigami Academy after years of learning and training.

After graduating the Shinigami Academy, Sumiyaka continued to train with his Zanpakutou, trying to achieve his Shikai release. Eventually, during a time period that he is not really sure what he was doing in, he achieved his Shikai release by overcoming his Zanpakutou Spirit. Also, he had entered the Gotei 13 Entrance exams, and had successfully became a member of the Thirteen Squad. He had been accepted in the Third Division. During this time, the Inner Hollow inside of him grew in spiritual power, and had gotten a good grip on Sumiyaka's personality. He became more violent and unstable. He also became an exceptional warrior. He was known as the “Hollow Slayer”. He killed many powerful Hollow, and gained a reputation for being a ferocious fighter. It was no surprise that he had began to advance the ranks, becoming a Seated Officer quite quickly, advancing the ranks over the years.

As his power increased, so did the power of his Inner Hollow also increase. As he slept during the night, often, he would find himself in the grip of terrible nightmares about his life as a human. Before all of this, Sumiyaka did not really know if he was ever a human, or if he was born a Shinigami, but through his nightmares, he saw visions of two people, one of them a pregnant woman. The hollow inside of him showed Sumiyaka visions, and he started to piece together his history as a human soul. And, as Sumiyaka grew older and stronger, his Hollow gained strength with him, and shortly after Sumiyaka was promoted to the position of Lieutenant, things went wrong. Sumiyaka visited his Inner realm, where he found the ground was stale, the stream was dried up, and the leaves of the trees withered and died, and the sky was pitch black, with a new moon in the sky.

Suddenly, Honeyoukai appeared, taking on the form of his mother, and began to torment him, telling him about how he was once a human, and how he died, and why he is in Rukongai now. Sumiyaka then watched as she morphed into the warped form of a monster, similar to a Chimera, or a Gryphon, but with a much stranger mix of animals, and demon features. The spirit of his Zanpakutou was nowhere to be found, and he found that he no longer possessed the Zanpakutou itself with him, replaced with a sword made out of bone, with Honeyoukai claiming that all of Sumiyaka's power came from him, and that Zaryuudou was not here anymore. They did battle, but Sumiyaka was awakened by members of his own squad, woken up from his nightmare.

Sumiyaka quickly skewed through the knowledge and libraries of the Seiretei, but could not find any information on how to control an Inner Hollow, only information that a few rogue Shinigami possessed and controlled Hollow powers, and lived separately from the Soul Society. With a heavy heart, he left the Soul Society, leaving on a mission and then never returning. They searched for him, but he took an untraceable Gigai with him, allowing him to hide in secrecy. He searched the earth for the Vaizards, the people who could free Sumiyaka from Honeyoukai. Finally, he started caving in to pressure. He fell asleep, and Honeyoukai took control, using his body as a medium to kill people, and also kill the Shinigami who came after him. One day, he was discovered in his Hollow state by the Vaizards. He was neutralized, and brought it, and his training to control his Hollow had began.

RP Sample:

This is a normal post by me on another site. This is the quality I try for when I post. It's not my best, but it's what you can expect of me.

The wind blew the grass all in one direction, all of the grass pointing towards the south to the south-west, since it was a north wind. The tree branches and leaves also rustled. Haken's world seemed to slow down as this menacing man launched a powerful attack at him. He had pointed his fingertips straight at Haken, his pointer finger seeming to be pointing towards the space between the two of his eyes. Holes opened on his fingers, and what appeared to be high speed bullets were shot out like a rifle. The wind seemed to blow slowly, and Haken did not move. His dark brown widened eyes just stared the bullets coming at him. He did not flinch, or even attempt to avoid it. The Kaguya Man looked like Reptar.

The bones twisted, and stuck out of his back, and spines made of bone stuck out at various spots on his body, a result of his attempts to puncture Haken when they were in the midst of Taijutsu combat previously. A swirl of dark red and black blotched liquid appeared in front of him, creeping out of the grass, and moving as a single mass, as if it was an animal. The The bumpy, spine covered mass moved in front of him, blocking his head and torso. The front of the liquid defense was half liquid, but inside of the core, the blood was hardened. The white, bone bullets made contact.

Blood splattered from the red blood blob, and dug inside of it. The mushy half liquid half solid absorbed as much of the force from the bullet as it possibly could before it hit the solid surface of the blood. It stopped and was suspended in the blood. One bullet flew past Haken, flying into a tree, breaking part of it, and sending pieces of wood all over the undergrowth, landing on top of bushes and pressing some of their leaves down. The red mass jiggled a little, but in a way that intimidated the enemy, and would leave them shivering. The bones were oozed out, with blood on them. The blood moved out of the way of Haken's white, messy hair, and allowing his single, staring eye to continue looking at the Kaguya.

"You missed." Haken said with a small, indiscreet grin. The blood began to circle around him, moving up like a screw. More blood rose from the grass, and surrounded Haken.

"Akamisuto no Jutsu" He muttered. He began forming hand signs, weaving them like a pro. Finally, he stopped with the Inu, or Dog hand sign, he cocked his head backwards, spread his legs out, and puffed out his chest. Using his Bloodline limit to create more blood for usage, he leaned forward and blowed out an ominous mist of dark crimson mist made of blood. It was angled towards the ground, and upon hitting it, spread out, spreading out in a circular pattern around the open battlefield, The irregular mist rose in the air, and spread into the trees, forming a lethal smokescreen.

Unknownst to his opponent, if he breathed in enough of this mist, the mist would clot inside of his throat, and actually form a minuscule blade inside of his capable foe. The blade could cut his enemy up slowly from the inside out. It was a cruel death for any Shinobi. Just a few breaths of this mist, and his enemies fate would be sealed. Haken stood in the dark mist. He could hardly see in front of him. He could see the ground a few feet ahead of him. He could not see the sky above him either. Haken simply waited inside of his mist, his half solid, floating blood surrounding him. It did not form a good defensive barrier, but it could be controlled, and used to defend him from attack.

Two hundred thousand gallons? Too much. Way, way, way, way too much. The amount of Mercury, plus the controlling aspect, is too much for anyone to fight with. As all you would need to do is just center the mercury to be emitted right around your opponent, and in a certain circumfrence, thats pretty much instant death, as the 200,000 gallons forms nigh immediately.

Okay, I changed the ability of the Shikai.

How many gallons produced in Bankai, what level of Kido/attacks will take the head off. If that isnt specified a 4th eat could avoid the mercury, jump up, slice it off, and walk away.

Also, with the Shikai, is the mercury manipulated kinda like someone would manipulate a water Zanpaktou, by using the Mercury to attack/defend in waterever for the user desires?

Edited.

And yeah.

Also, it takes a level 93 or above Kido to deal enough damage to this creature to potentially defeat it.

To start with, decrease that number to 55; 93 for Kidou is insane.

He could also phase through a sword, giving him a deadly advantage...Phasing his body parts to avoid attacks can work, but phasing takes more energy when trying to phase through a fast moving thing, such as a swung sword, which is why traveling through the ground is so energy conserving.

Alright, give me a stamina loss for phasing through a sword; especially a swung one. I was hesitant to allow you to phase through a sword/Zanpakutou, but give me a reasonable amount of stamina you'd lose and we'll see.

This is all I have time for, I'll review the rest later.

I will go to as low as 60. Bankai are not easy to defeat, especially this tortoise, who is constructed out of meters of solid metal.

And as for the phasing through swords, I put 3 as a stamina loss. But, if you really think I should, I'll go up to 4.

Around 100,000 gallons of mercury.

No, just no

Also, phasing through attacks in all honesty really doesn't fly with me because that's basically a very OP thing to do.

Defeating the Bankai of Zaryuudou takes more than just the power of a captain level Bankai.

Please remove/edit considering the fact that you're supposed to be Lieutenant level.

Okay. Now I'm frustrated.

In my mind, if those changes are made, then to me there is no point in having these particular abilities, since they'll be useless because they've been nerfed so much. I'm gonna re-do my Hollow mask, and my Zanpakutou. So, this is a WIP now.

HOLD IT!

Kenji, I DID mention he could have phasing, AT THE MENTIONED COST!

Do keep in mind that both Sousuke and I are Head Administrators and I know what I'm doing; if he could phase WITHOUT cost, that's another story; I appreciate the fact of your stepping in, but please step away from this one.

There is no need to redo the mask or your Zanpakutou Sumiyaka; as long as you have fulfilled what I have told you to do with the requirements and edits I set, you're okay there. I will continue to go over your application if/when I have the time.

Bump

Make it 1,000 gallons of mercury and you're good.

M'kay. Edited.

Alright, unless I stumble upon anything else, you're clear to RP.

Approved.
