Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Sanmaru

Zanpakuto Looks:

Spoiler:

Zanpakuto Description: Nothing differant than the picture above.

Released Zanpakuto Description:
1. Allows the user to send wind blades, which are strong enough to slice through trees, towards their opponents.

2. Allows the user to generate a whirling vortex of wind which they can send snaking towards their target. If hit by the vortex, the wind would cut the person(Like slashes/cuts from an ordinary zanpaktou).

3. Allows the user to loosen/tighten the air pressure within a twenty-five meter radius, in a centain area, or just an inch around himself. Loosening the air pressure would allow faster movement as opposed to tightening the air pressure which would make it harder to move.



Zanpakuto Release Phrase: "Tranquil the universe with your everlasting wind, Sanmaru."

Released Zanpakuto Looks: The zanpaktou will disperse into spiritual particles and reform on L's hands as skin-tight gloves that have metal at the tip of the fingers. The gloves still hold all the qualities of a zanpaktou, besides it weight, such as it's strength, sharpness, etc. It's also especially resistant to even the strongest wind. It has the kanji sign for "Freedom" on the palm of it.

Zanpakuto Spirit: This zanpaktou spirit, is always hiding its true appearance. It's because of that, that it mimics the appearance of L. Ironicly, it's personality is relatively the same, as his. The only real differance is its view on things.

Zanpakuto Realm: Sanmaru seems to live in a realm that resembles outer-space. In every corner and turn there are simply stars and very faint planets. Occasionally you'll see a shooting star or two. When asked about the realm Sanmaru would say that it's not a realm, but the center of the Universe.

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

Bankai Description: 1. Bankai Technique 1 - “Drop the Bakudan” (Drop the bomb)

L will clap his hands togethor while saying “Drop the Bakudan” then nothing will happen for thirty seconds. After that thirty seconds(Two posts) everything in a twenty-five meter area is destroyed completely and minature shockwaves will create for the next twenty meters, that can knock people animals and even trees down. This is done by a large amount of wind which tears through almost anything, but a high amount of strong material can defend againts it.

However, there is a few delay triggers after the thirty main seconds the shockwaves won't start untill five seconds afterwards. There are three shockwaves that occur every ten seconds.

The final bit of this technique is that the twenty-five meter area that was obleterated turns into a wind tunnel that allows faster maneverable abilities due to the constant lift effect it creates. L can return to using shikai while the tunnel is occuring.

Bankai Looks: Once the bankai is released, the gloves will spread all over the user, covering him completly. It still holds it's qualities as before.

Alterations: Is now covered in the same substance as the gloves from shikai.

History and RP Sample

History:
L's birth was pretty normal. He was born inside of a normal hospital, in Karakura Town. His entire family, except for one, was in the waiting room, waiting for him to be born, of course. The doctors did say that they've never seen such a big group of people wait for only one child to be born, though. They must of had really big plans for this one. As the family talked amongst themselves, the 'miracle' was happening. L's head was pushed out of his mothers vagina, along with the rest of his body.

When the doctor looked at L's face he felt cold. L had a plain face with no expression. He also had all black, 'dead' eyes. When the doctor handed him over to his mother, she looked away, feeling cold, aswell. She thought about her other son, how he was already differant. She didn't want another abnormal son.

"Put him up for adoption," she told the doctor.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes, go... Do it now... I don't want to see him, anymore," she replied. Her face had a sad, sort of disgusted look on it. She handed L to the doctor, not even caring to look at him one final time. The doctor took him off of her hands and walked out of the room. He placed him on a baby cradle-like bed. There was a name plate on the bed, it read 'Adoption'. Ever since that unfaithful day, L lived in an orphanage.

The orphanage needed to name L something, but they couldn't think of a name that matched him. One day, one of the orphanage volunteers put L down on the floor, to finish a phone call. He began to crawl away. Once the volunteer finished his call, he couldn't find him. He began to search for him. He checked under the chairs, tables, in the closet, etc. He began to panic once he couldn't find him anywhere. Suddenly, he heard something fall down to the ground. He quickly ran to where he heard the noice. There, he found L. He was drawing something. The volunteer picked up L and his drawing. It seemed that L had drawn, well... An L. Seeing that, the volunteer knew what his name would be, L.

Two days after being given his name, a couple walked in. They were looking to adopt a kid, preferably a boy. The volunteers gathered up all the boys they had and put them in a room, together. The couple watched the kids act as they normally would, in the room. Everyone acted normal, except for L. L sat down, by himself, drawing things that were alittle obscure. Everyone else was just playing with each other. L was who they were keeping their eyes on. He was differant than the others, that made him special.

"We'll take that one." The man said, pointing towards L.

"Yes, sir." The volunteer said, picking up L and walking towards the couple. He handed L over to the female. "If you would, please follow me." He said, signaling them to follow him. The volunteer took them to a room, passing them the paper work that they needed to fill out. "Please sign here... Here... And here." He said, pointing to where they were supposed to sign. After signing in the appropiate sections, they all stood up and shook hands. "Congradulations, take good care of him." He said, smiling at L's new family.

The volunteer escorted the family to the front door, happy that L was able to find a new family. When he finally reached the door, he was surprised at what he saw. A large, black luxurious car was sitting there, infront of the door. A, what seemed to be, chauffeur was holding the back door open, waiting for the family to walk in. They must of been rich, which is what had surprised the voulenteer. They didn't seem like the rich kind, they wore average clothes and acted just like everyone. Maybe it was just because every other rich person he's met have been snoty. He watched the family get driven off, wondering what kind of life L would lead from now on.

Once they arrived at the hotel, they were staying at, they began packing. They put all of their belongings into their suitcases and checked out of the hotel. They weren't in a hurry or anything, they were at a normal, casual paste. They got into the back seat of their car and headed towards the airport.

"It sure is great to finally get to go home. You know, I think we made a wise choise in choosing to adopt L. He's differant than all the other kids we saw. Unique, in other words. He's definitely going to be great detective, just like us." The male adult said, otherwise known as L's father, Mr. Lawliet.

"Yeah... Hopefully, he'll be able to surpass us. But, that'll only happen if we start preparing him now, as a child." The female adult said, now known as L's mother, Mrs. Lawliet.


L was three years old when his parents decided to begin the learning process. They decided to start the process when he was three because it was the minumum age requirment for head start. They were going to home school him. They taught him the basics; math, science, history, and language arts. But, they taught him three grade levels in one year. They taught him from seven in the morning to 7 in the afternoon. In his free time, they gave him puzzles to do. Surprisingly enough, based on the schools grading system, he was passing every single thing that he was being taught with a 100% accuracy.

By the time he was four years old, he was already being taught at the 4th grade level. His parents really wanted him to be a genious and, by the way things were going, it seemed as though it was working.


At the age of five, he completed everything within the middle school grade level. His parents decided to stop there, for now. They wanted to get started on his detective skills. They took him outside and told him to describe everything he sees. His parents had placed certain objects that normally an ordinary person couldn't see or recognize. He got described everything perfectly, but he missed the hidden items. So, in his parents eyes, he failed. They spent about two to three months trying to teach him this skill. It took him awhile, but he finally managed to pass it. They kept training him, helping him hone this certain 'ability' for the rest of the year.

At the age of six, they started his technical training. They taught him how to use and locate photo, video, and audio equipment. They also taught him the radiocommunication technique used in detective activity and its rules of operating. The final thing they taught him was ngineering and technical support. They lasted about two years on this subject.

At the age of eight, they started his psychological training. The first thing they taught him was the general provisions and specific character of psychology of people engaged into private detective activity. Second was the communication psychology of a detective with different people in the course of activity. (Conflict situations, their typification and forecasting.) Third was the stress factors of private detective activity and ways of increasing of psychological stability. Fourth was the professional and psychological mood and self-regulation of private detectives. This took them about three years to accomplish.

At the age of eleven, they began his special physical training. Here, they taught him about hand-to-hand fighting, self-defence techniques, attacking and protective techniques of hand-to-hand fights and actions without arms, and protective and counter-attacking combinations against blows with hands and legs. This was the fastest and easiest part of his detective training. They lasted about half a year on this subject.

Finally, at the age of twelve, they began his medical training. They taught him the principles of giving first aid, transportation of a sufferer, Human Anatomy and Human Physiology, potency of airways abnormality, and how to heal wounds, thermal and chemical injuries. This was one of the harder things that he had to learn. His parents thought that it might take him about five to six years to learn it all, but he learned it in only two years. To say the least, his parents were very impressed.

It took him nine years to finally hone his detective skills. he started at the age of five and finished at the age of fourteen. His parents now knew that he would be one of the greatest detectives and began to think back about the day that they adopted him. They knew that there was only was thing left that they can do for him.


His parents decided to finally finish his education. They started his high school education. They escorted him to a private room, one that L had never seen. They walked in, L's mother staying outside. Once inside, L noticed something. There were two desks, instead of one. Why were there two? Was he going to have a classmate this time? It seemed awfully suspicous, to him.

"L, sit down." His father told him, walingg towards a whiteboard that was infront of the room. L went over to a desk and sat in it. Still wondering who the other desk could be for. All his life he's been without a classmate. Why give him one now? That's when the door opened once again. A young, attractive girl walked in, she was about 14 years of age, aswell. "This is Elizabeth, she's smarter than you and... Well... She's even smarter than us in almost every category. Her parents have asked us to finish her education. So, we decided to teach her along side you. Well, I'll allow you two to get acquainted." He said, walking out of the room, leaving them both in there alone.

L stayed silent, facing the whiteboard, ignoring Elizabeth. He didn't want to consult with his 'competition.' He just wante dto get this over with and by what Elizabeth's current actions, it seemed like she wanted the same. She was sitting down in the desk next to L, doing the exact thing as him, nothing. They both just sat there, waiting for L's father to come back. After thirty or so minutes, he finally came back.

"So... Did you two learn anything about each other? I hope you did, since that's going to be your first test. Tell me atleast five things about each other. L, you're first." He said, having a smirk on his face. He knew that they weren't going to talk to each other, he wanted them to use the skills they've acquired over their training to figure out qualities about themselves.

"Her name is Elizabeth. She's a natural blonde, but she dyes her hair brown, as you can plainly see. She's fourteen years of age. She spends most of her time outside and she's training to be a detective." L said. He was, of course, giving out very simple details that practically anyone could figure out.

"Alright. Elizabeth, it's your turn." Mr. Lawliet said, looking at her.

"Fourteen years of age. He spends most of his time indoors. He enjoys playing tennis. He's a virgin and he hates me." She said, getting a little bit more in-depth than her 'competition.'

L looked away, once he heard her answer. He was... Somewhat ashamed of his abilties, at the moment. He had to train more. He had to beat her, at any cost.

During the time that they studied together, L began to obtain black 'bags' under his eyes, from all the time he spent studying. He also began to sit in a squating position, by reasons unknown. He also, secretly, began to sort of admire Elizabeth. He was sure that he had gotten smarter than her, but he liked her. He didn't know why. He thought that it was probably because he had never met a girl so intelligent. But, he knew that he couldn't ever express this weak feeling of his. Four years passed, he had completed his high school education. Now, he had to finish collage by himself.


Four years passed, L had just finished collage. Surprisingly enough, Elizabeth had also finished collage the same time as L. L was now Twenty-two years old and a collage graduate. He needed to get started on his career, luckily for him, he knew exactly what to do. He decided to start his own detective agency. He knew that he would need some help with it. He began to think about all the people he knew. Who would be the best candidate, to be his partner? It didn't take him long to finally come to a conclusion. Elizabeth. She had just finished with collage and was probably looking for a job, aswell. She was just as smart as him and she's been trained to be a detective all her life. She was perfect. He decided to call her and try to convince her to join. She accepted.

Monthes later, they finally started their business and took on their first case. It had to deal with a murder. Someone had murdered the governors son. When the governor talked to them, he said that L's father suggested that he go to him. That he, along with Elizabeth, were the best detectives in possibly the whole world. After knowing that his father had said that, he was determined to catch the murderer.

Investigating the crime scene, L noticed something that the police, and even Elizabeth didn't see. A black-ish tongue. He thought to himself, what would give someone a black tongue and also kill them? He had it. A plant. There was a plant that, once eaten, would stop the consumers heart immediatly and leave them with a black-ish tongue. Now, he had to figure out who would give the governors son the plant. Also, why would he eat it, willingly? Unless, they murderer put the plant on a dish. He wouldn't have noticed then. But, if that was the case, it had to be someone who he knew. Someone close to him.

L checked the refrigerator, finding a plate with a cake on it. It had green leafy sprinkles on it. L grabbed some and put it in a bag. Throwing the bag over to Elizabeth, he said, "We need to find out who gave him this cake." Elizabeth was, stunned. She had never seen a guy act like L was acting right now, and, personally, it was turning her on.

"I suggest we..." She said, before being caught off.

"There's only one place where this kind of plant is sold and grown. We go there, find out who's bought this plant and we're finished." He already had a feeling who it was. Someone who was close to the victim, someone who he was with pratically all day. They headed off to the ranch.

Arriving at the ranch, they asked they man in charge of the plants. They interigated him on the spot.It didn't take them long, but they found out who bought the plant. The victims wife. They didn't know why she would kill her own husband, but they knew that she was the murderer. L gave Elizabeth the job of finding out why and putting her away. Within a weeks time, the case was solved. But, during this whole experiance, Elizabeth gained some new feelings.


L had just taken on a case and was towards the end of solving it. He was in an abanded warehouse, following who he believed was the criminal in this case. He held a gun, loaded, ready to fire at the man if he tried anything fishy. He turned corners, staying close to the wall. Eventually he found him.

"It's over. Now, get down and put your hands behind your back." L said, aiming the gun towards the back of the criminal. There was a big pause and silence for about 2 minutes. Finally, there was movement. The criminal turned around, pointing a gun towards L. L, noticing the gun before it was revealed shot the hand of the criminal, making him drop the gun and fall on the ground. He ran up towards the criminal and put his foot over his back. It was over, well... That's what he thought. Out of nowhere, the criminal pulled on a cord. The criminal's body exploded. The explosion set the place on fire and killed L.


L awoke in the Rukongai district. He knew what had happened. He died. But, he never imagined that death would be like this. It was almost kind of a midevil type of thing. He wondered what layed instore for him here. From the looks of things, it looked like he'll just be at home all day., for the rest of his afterlife. That's when he saw her. A female soul reaper ran infront of him, heading towards a big gate. What struck him was her sword. It seemed as though only people in those black robes were able to have them. He wanted one now.

He began to ask around the 'village' to get any information on obtaining one. Eventually, he found someone. He claimed to be a former soul reaper and said that he'll give him a zanpaktou if he promised to defeat someone in battle. L, wanting one, hoping thta it'll give him a better understanding of the afterlife, agreed. The former soul reaper reached out towards L and put his hand against L's chest. He began to squeeze on it, as if he was grabbing something. Suddenly, a light began to emmit from L's chest. Once it disappeared, the former sol reaper held a zanpaktou in his hand.

"A zanpaktou is a reflection on one's soul. This is yours. They have three forms. Their unreleased form, the way this one is now. Their shikai form, which in only obtained by figuring out the name of your zanpaktou. And, bankai. Now, Bankai is the hardest one to unlock and master. It is said that one needs to train for three years straight to completly master it." He said, handing the zanpaktou towards L.

"I'll fulfill my promise." L said, grabbing the zanpaktou, wondering what it's name was. He began to head towards the outside, waving his zanpaktou around. After an hour or so of waving his zanpaktou around recklessly, a soul reaper showed up.

"Hand me that zanpaktou or risk fighting one of the soul reapers in my squad." Said the soul reaper, walking closer to L.

"I think I'll fight one of your squad members." He replied walking towards him.

"Then you face me." the soulk reaper said, as he began to run forward, towards L. Little did he know, his captain was watching from afar, he wante dto see what the newest member of his squad was like in battle. He began swinging his blade around, trying to cut L, following a very simple pattern. L, was blocking every swing. He had already figured out his attacking pattern, since it was so basic and simple. He was able to predict where the next swings would be coming from and he used that to his advantage. Blocking a swing, he ducked and swung his sword toeards the soul reapers right arm, the one he used to grab his sword. He knocked the sword out of his hand and then pointed it to his neck.

"Checkmate." He said as he pointed the sword to his neck. the captian that had been watching jumped down and came into the scene.

"How would you like to become a soul reaper? We'll train you in all of the arts and allow you to keep that zanpaktou you hold there. What do you say?" The captain asked.

"Sure." L replied. He was now going to train to be a soul reaper, it seemed as though he would never catch a break.


RP Sample: The wind in the air made L's silky black hair ripple about his head. A lot of times, it would cover his eyes and most of his face, but with his attack style, he was used to "flowing with the wind". It was windy now, but it was about to get a lot windier in the vacinity. L had gone out to Karakura town, having nothing else better to do. He wanted to see what it was like to revisit the place, see how the people were doing. As he walked the streets, being virtually unseen by the human eye, he could see that the town was building quite well. No devestating hollow attacks that the shinigami couldn't handle, or so it seemed. Something eerie was in the air, like if he turned around, he would see something he didn't quite want to see. But that's just what he did, he turned around, and found something to his displeasing.

Behind him, in the open grass of a soccer field, L spotted something that he only feared a bit inside, considering the numbers. He spotted three hollows. One short on, that looked like a mix between a giant frog and a bear, and two taller ones that looked like average hollows. L turned around to face them, and the wind slowed down. A shot of silence shot out around the city. That was going to change in a bit as well. The hollows overshadowed L, even from 13 meters away. The sun made sure of that. Any onlooker who could see them would know the match would be over in a second. Three huge monsters versus a week looking man in an overgrown white shirt? But L wasn't a weak man, it just seemed as though he were a hermit through his appearence. His strength would show through battle.

L took a quick step forward, bringing a different look about the hollows, making them flinch. Then he quickly unsheathed his blade and charged very quickly at them. The wind seemed to go his way, no matter which way he went. He knew how to move with it. A small smirk could be seen at L's face as he ran full speed at the hollows, one of them charging a cero in his direction. L saw a way to manipulate this, and took it. He jumped onto the other hollows face. As he did, the hollow fired his cero, not having any more control over the chared blast. As the cero hit the face of the hollow he had jumped onto, L jumped and over the cero. He looked down at the deadly blast, hoping his jump had made it. He had jumped far enough. As he landed on the back of the gollows shoulders, he was still firing a cero. He slit his neck, letting the hollow fall to the floor.


As L fell to the floor once more, sheathing his blade, he shot a look at the other hollow. He was shorter then the others, and he looked like a mix between a frog and a bear. Unlike anything he had ever seen before. The hollow just watched with a huge smile across it's mask, a smug smile, as he laughed a very hyena-ish laugh through the cracks of his mask. L could feel plenty of power, but he could tell that it wasn't all coming from the frog-ish hollow in front of him. No, something else, something stronger, was approaching. However, L had to focus at the problem at hand. Just as he was about to go in for the attack, the hollow jumped, almost 20 feet up in the air, and still going up. L had to surprise the hollow, simply by following him. He knew what he had to do, and it involved releasing a bit more of his power. He unsheathed his blade again, looking straight forward where the hollow once was. He got in a stance like he was about to box someone, with his blade in his upper hand.

"Tranquil the universe with your everlasting wind, Sanmaru"

Suddenly, he blade dispearsed, and in return, his hands were covered with strange object. They were black, skin tight gloves which were labeled "Freedom" on the palms. This was his effective, yet unusual shikai. L crouched down, crossing one arm over the other. He then quickly uncrossed them, a trail of wind following the bottems of his gloves. When his hands reached his sides, he flew up quickly in the air, lossening the air pressure around him, allowing him to fly faster. He did this all in one quick movement, and caught up to the hollow in a couple of seconds. As he flew up and over the hollow, he managed to use his shikai abilities again, this time, to attack. As he hovered above the frog-like hollow. He faced down to him, diving at his mask. Then, he made the air pressure around him and the hollow much heavier. Right before he did this, he charged even more air pressure into his left glove.

As they fell towards the ground, the air being much heavier, L swung his fist down at the hollow mask, ripples of visible air vibrating off of L's fist. The hollow mask cracked as he fell to the ground, bringing a huge crater in the ground, followed by a lot of dust. L made his landing a soft on, and looked towards the trees. All three hollows had been defeated, in quick time too. But something else was approaching, something even more powerful then these three hollows. Crashing over some of the tallest trees in Karakura town, a menos grande walked through, looking down directly at L. L opened his mouth a bit in astonishment, having to tilt his head up all the way in a 90 degree angle to see the menos. It looked down directly at him, and L could feel an attack coming on. He did the same thing as before, throwing his arms out and flying directly up into the air. He flew for a few seconds, this being one of the tallest hollows he had ever seen. As he flew up directly to face-to-face level with the hollow, he did something very risky. He put his hand over his face, and activated his hollow mask. He still couldn't control it very well, but without, it would be hard to defeat the menos.

L had a smile on his face as he got face to face with the menos, appearing to stand in the air. As he did though, he saw the menos charging a red glow at him. Cero. L knew what he had to do. He aimed his right glove straight at the hollow's mouth, feeling the power raging through out his body. A blast of cero energy was emitted from the glove right as the menos released the cero. They collided, creating a red wave at the collision pooint. They battled for a bit. A bit too long. L slammed his left glove against his right glove, activating the cero out of both hands now. The cero became huge in width, and instantly penetrated the cero from the menos. It penetrated the menos, and it fell down, knocking over dozens of trees in the park. L landed on the floor once again, and began walking to the vaizard territory. He had enough fighting for today.

Alright. Complete and total wind manipulation is a Bankai level technique.

Your Zanpaktou description is just what your sword looks like unreleased, like if theres any extra designs, etc on it.

Now, with Drop the Bomb, you said the enitre area is destroyed. Does that include people, etc? Or just the ltieral area, like the ground building, trees?

Edited.

It would probably maim the people, depending on who gets struck by it. So yes, it does it include people.

Alright, now with the Bankai. Since there is a delay time, wouldnt it be possible for the opponent to get within striking range and disrupt the shockwaves itself by attacking you first?

I would have to say no. Once the bankai technique is used, it would make the shockwaves an addition to the enviromeant.

Alright. Now that I have that out of the way, youll just need to wait for Aki or Kenji to go over the application.

Basic: Litter more on personality, if you're going for an L from Death Note type of thing, I suggest that you explain his unique/strange aspects like how he sits, how he never really keeps on his shoes, his love for sweets, etc.

2. Allows the user to generate a whirling vortex of wind which they can send snaking towards his target.
3. Loosening/tightening air pressure
4. Making wind votexes/tunnels.

2. I dont really understand what you're trying to say.

3. Way more detail needed.

4. Same as 3 & isn't that the same thing 2 does?

Zanpakuto Realm: He seems to live in the center of the Universe, at least, that's what he says.

Need a bit more eleberation on that.

then nothing will happen for thirty seconds.

I need to know how many posts that would be.

Edited.

Allows the user to loosen/tighten the air pressure within a twenty-five meter radius, in a centain area, or just an inch around himself. Loosening the air pressure would allow faster movement as opposed to tightening the air pressure which would make it harder to move.

Can you choose who it affects or does it affect everyone in the area automatically?

It would affect everyone in the area.

Ok, now that that's out of the way. Approved.
