~VIZARD APPLICATION~
General Information
Name: Kairi Valor
Actual Age: 190
Appearing Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance:
The first thing anyone would notice about Kairi Valor is her eyes. They are a mix of blues with a silver outline, resembling oddly the night sky. She's about 5'6'' and weighs in at about 127. Her hair is long, down to her knees and black as a raven's feather. Two strands of dark blue hang over her cheeks, making her look slightly more regal. Her complexion is quite pale, but not sickly. She appears to be a shade or two up from the whiteness fo a hollow mask. She has a body figure to an hourglass, but slightly more thin. She seems fragile, almost. She has long legs and arms, and nicely shaped hips. Her chest size is a C, though, at times, she can wear a D.
She wears the Shinigami attire, with some slight.....Altercations. The shitagi (inner kimono) is normal, as is the kosode (outer Kimono), except that the shitagi and kosode both hangs off her upper arms. Though it hangs loosely off her arms, it never appears to fall off or too low to reveal anything. The hakama are pretty much the same. She wears a light blue scarf resembling Byakuya's, but hangs more loosely off her body, and she only wears in battle. Her zanpakuto is on her left side, black sheath and blends in well with the Shinigami outfit. She wears a sapphire necklace with the starburst cut, swirling with blues and resembling her eyes.
Personality:
She'd barely gotten in the Academy, having nothing but her sword to prove her worth. Most thought of her as unworthy, considering she didn't have anything before the Academy. She did, however, get fairly good grades, never falling below a B. She doesn't practice often at all, not because she's lazy or conceited, but because she has strong faith in her abilities and her sword. Since she transferred to the 6th Division, she has learned to keep up her swordsmanship but one couldn't say the same for her kido.
Kairi does have a witty tongue, and is always willing to end a fight (she never starts one, not really). Even though she's in the 6th Division, she doesn't appear to like Byakuya much. She's always willing to fight with him, over any little thing. She's vulgar at times, but seems to be liked by most. She has developed some nakama over the years she's been in the 6th Division. Kairi's closest friends include Ukitake, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Ichigo, Kenpachi, and Yachiru. She especially bonded with Yachiru, for some reason. The two can often be found making mischief together at times. Kairi has the tendency to be childish at times.
Although she fights with her Captain, she does in some way, hold him in respect. Surprisingly, she doesn't hate him as much as she wants everyone to believe. After some fighting (and some sword clashing), she begins to fall for her cold, noble Captain. She knows she could never be worthy, nor take the place of his deceased wife. Feeling inadequate, she tries to convince herself she can learn to hate him. In reality, she can't no matter how hard she tries. And even though she does try, she would give her life for him, not just because of her love for him, but her loyalty.
She prefers to go by Shinigami X, a name in which she has earned from an attack in her Bankai state. She was well known by X, sometimes, Kai-chan (Yachiru) or X-san (recruits). Even some of her friends deemed her by X or Kai-chan!
History – Life:
The earliest memories she could remember are not until she was 5. Anything before that remains unknown. She only remembers the rain and the blood pooled around her. She was drenched not only in the rain, but the blood. She eventually wandered from the hut she had been staying in, until she reached the edge of the forest. There, before her, was a slain village. She began to believe though, that she was a monster. But she couldn't let that get her down. Even after she believed herself to be a monster, she learned to smile again. She wasn't giving up that easy. Then, the bandits raided the destroyed village for precious items, and they found her.
Kairi didn't know what happened, but she remembered the feeling of them all around her, the pain between her legs, and the ever dawning defiance. She knew something was wrong, even after they left her to bleed and die in the rain. Though she did die, she managed a smile, determined to be happy despite the circumstances. She wasn't sure what happened, because as a soul, she never woke up. All she remembered was a warm feeling, before a light engulfed her, and she found herself in Soul Society, reborn.
History – Rebirth:
Kairi Valor was reborn in District 78 – Inuzuri, in South Rukongai. She didn't know why she had wanted to become a Shinigami, but the moment she had found her way to the Academy, she excelled at swordsmanship. Her reiatsu wasn't overly active, making others think of her as weak. Though she was picked on quite frequently, she managed to uphold herself and her dignity. She refused to fall to their level. Though she wasn't an expert, she did know a little about Kido, enough to sustain her and her need for knowledge.
This was a new life for her, and she wanted to start over. After her graduation, she was placed in the 6th Division, under Kuchiki Byakuya-Taicho and Abarai Renji-Fukutaicho. Though she did have manners, she also had a temper, which resulted in many disputes between her and her fukutaicho. But even though they fought often, Kairi and Renji developed a friendship......Albeit, one of fighting, but still a friendship. The one thing that Kairi excelled at, was her ability to hear and wield zanpakuto. She could even hear the spirits of OTHER zanpakuto!
She already had her zanpakuto's name before she even entered the Shinigami Academy, the only thing left in her mind before and after her death. To say Kairi and her zanpakuto were close would be an understatement. Though her zanpakuto hardly ever shows her spirit, the two are more than just nakama, but have a bond far greater. Bonding with and wielding Shinsei Suta no Seishin (Nova Star Spirit) was the easy part. Learning to not hear other zanpakuto's is not.
When the Ryoka had invaded, Kairi had felt, despite her loyalty, that they would do no harm. It confused her, even more so when Shinsei (Nova: the nickname for her zanpakuto) was quiet. After Aizen's betrayal, Kairi was, behind the scenes, the one who kept the whole Squad together. She may have tried to deny her love for her Taicho, but she respected him enough to keep things together.
The first time her hollow made an appearance, she had no idea what she had gotten herself into. Kuchiki-Taicho had assigned her the task of defeating a hollow that had appeared in a zone outside of the Rukongai, something that should not have been possible. She'd been doing well against the hollow, until, of course, Shinsei let the hollow pierce her heart. The betrayal was enough to let her fade into darkness, never seeing her blade glow.
Deep into the recesses of her heart and soul, she awakes surrounded by stars. A full moon hangs overhead, and it is here she meets her hollow. Slowly, the full moon begins to turn into a new moon, a large spiritual pressure making Kairi fall to her knees. When she is able to lift her head, the moon in complete shadow, she looks into her own face. There isn't much a difference, except her hollow looks more.....Nobel, regal even. The strangest thing of all is she isn't wearing a mask, instead, fanning out from her forehead and framing her cheeks are glowing dark blue symbols. They glow, and in the middle of her forehead is a black crescent moon.
Her hair is pulled back on the sides and tied at the back by a silver ribbon. She is wearing a two piece layered kimono. The inner kimono is dark blue, littered with small crescent moons, adding a childish hue. The outer kimono is black, with silver sparkles, reminding one of the night sky laying around them. The obi is dark blue, and she wears no shoes. Kairi looks into her own disfigured eyes, seeing dark blue eyes with an ice blue outline.
On the woman's head is a silver circlet, intertwined with a black circlet. Kairi looks around at the star ridden world, before raising her hand, feeling her reiatsu forming a Kido spell she knew well. But before she could fire her spell, the hollow version of herself placed it's hand to hers, palm to palm. Feeling the hand that should have been cold, feel warm, made her gasp. She looked into it's eyes – her eyes – and felt tears welling up.
There was only one thing she could have said. “You.....Don't want to kill me.”
Her hollow smiled, and with a whispered voice, replied, “No. I want you to live. I want to work together.”
And with that, a new power awoke within her. After dispatching the hollow with her companion, Kairi gazed at the sword she'd known all her life. “How...did you know?”
She never got an answer.
The greatest thing was, her hollow was smart, hiding it's own reiatsu in a complex manner by using Kairi's natural reiatsu to cover it. And together, the three made their way back to where they wanted to belong and find a place in the world. She never told anyone, not even Kuchiki-Taicho, about her hollow. She didn't know what would happen, but she knew it would be better to keep quiet. In her report, she simply said she had handled the situation rather well. Kuchiki-Taicho hadn't doubted that, but she knew he suspected something else.
Kairi knew her hollow meant no harm, but she also wandered about the strange connection her zanpakuto had with it. She wondered if, in some way, the hollow didn't even exist.....But somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew she was only hoping, and nothing more.
Kairi, to this day, remains under Kuchiki-Taicho's Squad, and her feelings remain unchanged. One day, she hopes to have the courage to confess her feelings and be worthy enough to be the woman she wants so desperately to be.

Zanpakuto
Name: Shinsei Suta no Seishin (新星スターの精神)
Translation – Nova Star Spirit
Unreleased Appearance:
No Image Yet.
Kairi's zanpakuto is unique. One reason is that it's spirit hardly ever shows itself. There's just a simple feeling of it being there. The unreleased form is in a black sheath with dark blue ribbons hanging from it. The blade has a starburst shaped guard and on the inside of the sheath, on the right side, are engraved the words: “Watashi wa watashi no ha no tame ni ikiru.” (“I live for my blade.”) On the left: “Soshite, watashi no buredo wa, watashi no tame ni sunde iru.” (“And my blade lives for me.”)
Zanpakuto Spirit
Name: Shinsei Suta no Seishin (Nicknamed, Nova)
Gender: Female
No Image Yet.
Shinsei is tall, thin, and feminine. Though, her words can cut like ice, and her power is strong enough that she had to be restricted. She is usually seen with an ice blue kimono, traditional, with a dark blue obi and black starbursts decorating her kimono nicely. Her hair is long and wavy, free, and down to her ankles. She wears something similar to a Japanese bride's headwear, except is gold, and starts as a circlet. It then branches up, and into a flame like pattern, before bending backwards and flowing down her back in gold and somehow silver strands that seem to be on fire, glowing in a slight blue like hue.
Her skin is white, completely, and her eyes are silver, almost white, the pupil red where it should be black. Despite her appearance, she is quite friendly. Though the kimono suggests modesty, a slit goes straight up to her hip, allowing her free movement. Like her companion, the sleeves also hang loosely from the shoulders. Shinsei's eyes have a starburst effect, making her gaze feel penetrating. In her true form, she is a nine tailed fox with silver fur. Though, since her restrictions, her from remains the same except she gains nine tails and fox ears.
Personality:
Shinsei is, in a word, indrawn. She prefers to not be seen by most, only by Kairi, which is very rare anyway. Though, she is quite friendly once she is seen. She projects beauty and commands attention, but in no way is she egotistical. This zanpakuto spirit may seem like a nice little angel, but her temper is as bad as her companions. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and if the occasion calls for it, make you listen. She appears shy at times, timid.
Shinsei will stand up for anyone or anything though, and isn't afraid to do what's right, no matter what the cost may be. She is used to solitude, being chained and forgotten before Kairi found her. The bond they share has become something even the zanpakuto never expected. Even though Kairi is trying to hide her feelings for her Taicho, Shinsei is determined to make it happen......And it has nothing whatsoever to do with Senbonzakura. Nope, nothing at all.
Relationship to Master:
Nakama. Best friend. Sister. These words all describe the relationship Shinsei feels for her master. After all, before they had met each other, they were both alone. They saved each other from the loneliness that threatened their very existence, and fought it together. Even though Shinsei highly respects and loves her master, she sometimes wishes the girl would be more honest, and hold herself in higher regard. Shinsei knows the girl is capable of more than she lets on.
It's not just about respect and love, Shinsei also feelings of bafflement towards her master. On a rare occasion, she becomes annoyed. Though, Shinsei feels she is better with her master than without. And this is a fact, neither hides from anyone. They don't need to; they were reborn together, and when the time comes, they'll die together.
Inner World:
This one is difficult. When Kairi faced her inner hollow, she was surrounded by the Universe, but after the incident, when she returned to her inner world, it had changed. She found herself faced with an open field, no forests, no trees of any kind. Just a large expanse of field, with blue fireflies darting about everywhere. The most amazing is the sky, so close, Kairi feels she could almost touch it. And falling from the endless star ridden sky, are little small stars themselves. They are tiny little specks, but add an unearthly glow to the world inside Kairi.
A small stream runs through the center, a divider. On the opposite side, one can see, in the distance, a bridge that leads up, eventually, to a castle. Kairi can't help but want to cross the stream and go to the castle, but a feeling stops her. She must never go there, she knows, but still.....She wonders......
Inner Hollow
Name: Auria
Gender: Female
Appearance:
The first thing one notices about Auria are the dark blue markings and black crescent moon on her face. She wears a two layered kimono and has dark blue eyes outlined in ice blue. She wears a silver circlet intertwined with a black circlet. There is a point to the circlets and the colors, considering the black is overrun by the silver circlet. Auria does have a hollow mask, but it only appears in dire need, and when it does, the black circlet overcomes the silver circlet.
Auria is slightly taller than Kairi, but an inch or two shorter than Shinsei. The two can often be found lounging together in Kairi's inner world.
Personality:
She enjoys the fighting, and is way more vulgar than Kairi. Auria, despite her bluntness at times, doesn't care too much for the war between hollows and shinigami. She understands a little bit more than most. Without the hollows, the world would collapse, and without the shinigami, the same would happen. So Auria despises the fighting between them. Though she's friendly, she can't seem to remember to smile through her pain.
She's forgotten what it means to break through her pain, and instead, relishes in it. She can be cold and hurtful, but deep inside, to Kairi the most, she is able to muster a smile with only her eyes. The only way she remembers how.
Relationship to Master:
Auria is kind to Kairi, but feels slightly envious. Kairi can smile even through her pain filled past and future that awaits her. Harboring these feelings towards Kairi is what keeps the hollow from fully accepting her as Auria knows she should. She does respect her, and does believe them to be friends, but her feelings of envy will never leave. Slowly, overtime, she pushes them farther back, but something like that will never completely disappear.
Auria does connect with Kairi, but sometimes, she wants to rip the smile off the girl's face and let her cry. She thinks it, wants it, but never does it. She knows her mask is breakable, and knows if it is ever broken, she will never pick up the pieces of the hollow she wants to be compared to the dark hollow inside her wanting to be free, a hollow she's not sure she wants to keep hidden.
Hollow Abilities
Mask Appearance and Summoning:
The mask isn't like normal hollow masks. Instead of where it's normally white, it is pure black. Where on Auria the crescent moon was black, it is now white. And where the markings had been a dark blue, they are now an ice blue color. The mask's shape, however, looks like a normal hollow mask. Skull shaped, sharp teeth. The eye sockets, instead of the normal black, bleed a bright white. The pupil s however are not yellow, they are black slits.
When Kairi summons her mask, all she has to do is focus while taking her index finger, spilling her blood, and using the blood to draw a crescent moon on her forehead. The blue markings will then appear, followed by Auria. In order to summon the darker hollow, either her life must be in danger or she must draw another crescent moon from her blood onto her chest. The time in which the mask can be wielded is unknown, since Kairi doesn't tend to use it often.
Hollow Abilities
Munmemori (Moon Memory)
Description of Attack:
Munmemori is both an illusion, and not an illusion. Kairi, when in her hollow form is able to wipe away the memory of an opponent, turning them into a Blank. She absorbs these memories for herself, and is able to utilize an attack compromised of what they are afraid of and tear apart their minds from the inside by destroying the Blank part of them, which holds their memories.
Limitations:
With every time this attack used, a piece of Kairi's memory becomes overtaken by the opponents, and this brings her closer to the darkness inside her hollow and herself. She can only uphold this for about 10 minutes. Also, by destroying the Blank inside them, her own Blank which contains her own memories, is slowly disappearing. She can utilize the opponents fear using an element, which includes things like the stars, shadows, ice, etc.
Choshinsei (Supernova)
Description of Attack: Choshinsei is probably the most dangerous attack Kairi's hollow is in possession of. This attack causes a large amount of reiatsu to build up inside of her own heart, before releasing it in a large blast. The repercussions of most of this attack are highly fatal. It involves explosion of the heart, internal bleeding to the fourth degree, external injuries like broken ribs, and other such injuries. Normally, almost right after this attack, Kairi must revert back to her original form.
Limitations:
Highly fatal results. The blast is deadly, but can only reach as far as Kairi's reiatsu. The weaker she is, the less the distance. The stronger she is, the more the distance covered. She can use this attack while moving, but the results will be even more fatal.
Munsuta (Moon Star)
Description of Attack:
This attack is the easiest and less fatal of all Kairi's hollow attacks. Munsuta allows Kairi to split her blade, Shinsei Suta no Seishin, or Shinsei, into two. One blade is pure white, made of a stone called a blue moonstone. The guard is pure black, and completely round. The hilt is wrapped in silver, grey, and black ribbons. The blade itself is thin, but sharp, resembling a samurai sword in curved texture. The other is a mix of blues, purples, and some specks of swirling silver and black. This blade swirls all the colors together. The guard is black also, and the hilt is wrapped in black, torn ribbon. This sword resembles more of Rukia's, Sode no Shirayuki, including the one thin dark blue strand hanging off the end of the hilt. With these two blades, Kairi has more leverage, and more available techniques. If one blade is lost, it will return to her hand when called.
Limitations:
Her reiatsu, if she uses the attack when she is already weakened, can result in a comatose state. Considering the attack just adds slightly more attack and speed development, there aren't too many limitations. If she doesn't have the reiatsu left to call back her blade, both will revert back to the original Shinsei Suta no Seishin form.
Zanpakuto Shikai
Call Out Phrase: “Yume, Shinsei Suta no Seishin.”
Translation: “Dream, Nova Star Spirit.”
Shikai Appearance:
When released, Shinsei glows a sapphire color before bursting into flames. The flames start at the hilt, burning away the ribbons and leaving in their wake a swirling hilt of reiatsu energy. The flames engulf the guard and remove it completely, and form their, swallow the blade. Once the flames are done, they wrap around the hilt and become the guard, burning sapphire. The blade resembles Ichigo's Zangetsu, except defintely not as large. The blade comes down from the guard like Ichigo's, and goes outward. The blade is thin, but sharp and agile. Lengthwise, the blade is about 2 or 3 inches. The blade itself is see through, holding inside it a swirling mix of sapphire, lavender, and silver.
Shikai Abilities:
Utau (Sing)
Description of Attack:
This attack does not exert physical force. Shinsei lets out a sad, keening melody that makes anyone in the vicinity feel a suffocating sadness and remember the saddest memory they have experienced, immobilizing the opponent.
Type: Offensive
Effects: Mental exhaustion; distraction; suffocating sadness
Range: Anyone in the vicinity of the fight.
Limitation: The melody only lasts 5 minutes, and can only be used 15 minutes apart.
Sutafaiya (Starfire)
Description of Attack:
The flames that have become the guard engulf the sword once more, sparkling with stars. This attack can be used in multiple succession, by scattering “stars” everywhere, and once connected with the opponent, releases a large burst of “star fire”. The tiny “stars” do attach themselves to opponent to slow down their movements and drain their reiatsu, delivering it to Shinsei.
Type: Offensive
Effects: Because the guard is missing, Kairi cannot defend with the blade. If she tries, her hand will be cut immensely without the guard.
Tier Effects: Two to one tier levels below will experience deep gashes and intense burning. The “stars” also, will have more of an effect. A tier of the same level, maybe, will experience damage of about 70%. A tier level above will experience damage of 50%-60%. And two tier levels above will experience only about 20%, or from little to no effect.
Range: Contact with opponent; “stars” can only travel with those on whom they've contacted and when first released, can only surround Kairi and her opponent within a 5 mile radius.
Limitation: The “starrs” only last 5 minutes unless they have made contact, and can be easily cut down, since they do not move very fast. The “star fire” does deal a great burn damage, but only if the blade is allowed to cut. If the blade is put into skin, but stopped from completely cutting open an opponent, the “star fire” will deal less damage.
Sakura Sutashirudo (Cherry Blossom Star Shields)
Description of Attack:
This is a defensive maneuver, used to shield Kairi. From the butt of her hilt, where a dark blue cherry blossom petal is etched, will fly out dark blue cherry blossom petals, surrounded by small, almost invisible “star” specks. She got this from her Taicho, having wanted to impress him (even if she denied it to the tenth degree). These petals will float around her, creating small shield when anyone attacks and their blades try to connect with her. She can attack through the petals, but it is harder for the opponent to hit her.
Type: Defensive
Effects: The number of cherry blossom petals is decreased when they are attacked.
Tier Effects: Against either a level or two above Kairi, the petals will only last from no effect to 5 minutes. Against someone of the same level, the time is considered to be 15 minutes. And for tier levels one and two below, the time duration of petals is from 30-40 minutes.
Range: Start at 3 feet from her body and go up to 15 feet away.
Limitation: After an hour the petals completely disappear, but are very weak to begin with. Most of the time, the petals can be dealt with before the time limit. They do not retaliate, but are simply used as small shields, and the disappear.
Yoru no Nami (Night Wave)
Description of Attack:
The guard made of blue flames surround Shinsei, creating what looks like a second see through sword over Shinsei itself. From there, the two swords made one are engulfed by an inky darkness with tiny sparks in it, the sparks being stars. The shadowy darkness moves and shifts as if it is alive, and when used, Kairi can do it any fo the ways listed: connecting with the opponent, where the shadows engulf the wounded part fo the body and create a shield against healing; from a distance, by swinging in the direction she wishes the darkness to go, in a wve like fashion; or she can slam the sword int othe ground, creating a large inky darkness that erupts from the ground and cuts the opponent in many different ways.
Type: Offensive and Defensive
Effects: Healing cannot be used on any wound the darkness has caused or infected; damages Kairi's hand by sinking into the skin and creating small shock waves, weakening her hand considerably. The more it is used, the farther up the darkness travels, and the farther it travels, the more it weakens the body. When used in defense, the sword is held to block an attack and engulfs the opponents weapon or form of attack and sends a shock wave through their body to thrown them away.
Tier Effects: Two to one level below will receive full effects, considering it is Kairi's most strongest attack in Shikai form. Same level opponents will receive from 90%-60%. And two to one level above will receive from 40%-10%. An opponent can only go unharmed if they manage to dodge the attack in the first place.
Limitation: Kairi's body will eventually be filled with the inky darkness the more she uses the attack. When defending, this still counts, but to less of a degree. The range is very small, considering it a sword wielding attack, and the wave can only travel 7 feet. This attack cannot be used very long. It would only take 5 hours for Kairi's body to be completely engulfed in the inky darkness.
Shikai Extension Period: She can hold her Bankai longer than her Shikai, which only lasts about an hour to 2 at the most. If the Yoru no Nami is used frequently, that is cut into half or 3/4 of the time.
Elemental Limit: She can hold her Shikai's elemental limit for only about an hour, before the blade is reduced to only the flame guard. She can only use, in this state, Sakura Sutashirudo and Utau.
Zanpakuto Bankai
Name: Hoshi no Yoru no Seishin
Translation: Star Night Spirit
Bankai Appearance:
In this form, Shinsei is engulfed completely in darkness. When the darkness begins to seep off, the blade is revealed. The hilt is completely black with small shimmering stars inside it. The guard is solidified dark blue flames, bent backwards towards Kairi, falling over her hand. The sword itself is completely black, shimmering with silver, blue, and purple sparkles. Kairi wields one in each hand.
Bankai Abilities:
X no Naitofurea (X Night Flare)
Description of Attack:
Kairi allows both blades to be engulfed in a shimmering darkness, before launching an attack in the shape of an x by crossing her swords. The large X shape is made of darkness and moves very quickly. Can also be used to engulf another zanpakuto's attack and blow up.
Type: Offensive and Defensive
Effect: Long and close range. The pain is not immediate. The pain will not start until reiatsu is released. If a change in reiatsu is sensed, the pain will become greater.
Tier Effect: Two to one level below experience all to 90% of the damage, while same level tiers receive 50%-70%. Two to one level above may experience nothing to 20% of the damage.
Range: Long and close
Limitations: Kairi can only use this attack a total of 3 times per fight before the darkness engulfs her wrist and will break it.
Sutafokkususoringo (Soaring Star Fox)
Description of Attack:
Kairi's strongest Bankai attack. Kairi's reiatsu takes on the form of her Bankai's form: a giant nine tailed fox. The restrictions placed do not apply to Bankai. Using her sword, she directs the fox which uses her reiatsu as means to survive and attack. The fox can use the attacks listed: Yoru no Nami (from the claws), Sutafaiya (from the mouth), and Utau. The fox also carries it's own moves, but the restrictions restrict all but one: the Sutafokkususoringo. The fox gathers a large amount of the dark inky energy, before launching at the opponent. Unlike most, this fox has a mind of it's own, and will not stop until either the opponent is hit or the opponent is able to destroy it.
Type: Offensive
Effect: Drains Kairi rather quickly. Per fight, Kairi can only use the attack once. Very powerful. The Sutafokkususoringo damages the opponent badly, but also Kairi.
Tier Effect: Two to one level above will be affected at least by 30% of the attack, at the least 10%. Someone of the same level will be dealt 60%-70%, and levels below will deal with all the damage.
Range: Long or Close
Limitations: Kairi's blade will revert back to it's Shikai form immediately after use, and Bankai will not be able to be used the remainder of the fight. If there is more than one fight, one right after the other, then Kairi will probably not be able to use it until after a recuperation period.
Suisei Surasshu (Comet Slash)
Description of Attack:
Kairi's intermediate attack, that drains no reiatsu, and can be used for a long period, including the entire time Bankai is used. Comets surround Kairi, and whenever she makes a swing at an opponent, regardless of whether her attack makes ocntact or not, a certain number of comets will fly towards the opponent. Even if Bankai misses, the comets give an advantage.
Type: Offensive
Effect: Comets fly towards the opponent, in varied numbers.
Tier Effect: Someone of the same level might be dealt with 30%, while two levels above will experience 10% to nothing at all. Two levels or so below will experience between 40%-60%.
Range: Long or Close
Limitations: The amount of comets that can be completely summoned is 7. Kairi cannot control how many are sent out, and which ones or in which direction. It's more of a gamble move.
Munshirudo (Moon Shield)
Description of Attack:
This is Kairi's defensive maneuver. Her blade will create a white shiled made of moonstone between her and an opponent, from the blade itself.
Type: Defensive
Effect: The shield created by the blade will keep the two blades stuck to the shield for a few seconds, draining the damage from both attacks (or parried defenses in some cases), which includes the reiatsu, before sending both parties flying backwards a good distance away from each other, before imploding on itself.
Range: Close
Limitations: Both parties receive drained reiatsu and are sent backwards. This defense maneuver is the quickest way to drain both parties.
Bankai Extension:
If any of the attacks mentioned bove are used for longer than 5 hours, Kairi will automatically revert to beyond her Shikai form and not be able to summon even any Kido spells.
Sample Post
She swung her zanpakuto downwards, letting out a “Ha!” as she did so. Her stance would remind one of Kendo: the way she held herself, the way her foot would step forward with every swing, and the familiar shout that would follow. She resembled every ounce a warrior who knew how to wield her sword. Sweat dripped down her brow and down her face, dropping from her chin. She was in a slight pant, her breath mixing with the slightly cold air. It was, after all, a little past six in the morning and slightly chilly.
Kairi loved the chilly morning air when it came time for her practice. The cold helped her to be focused, to keep her mind on the matter of her training. She let her dominant hand, the one which held her zanpakuto, fall to her side. She used her other arm to wipe the sweat from her face, smiling. The smile, though, quickly faded. Unconsciously, her grip on her zanpakuto tightened. Her gaze became heavy and narrow, resembling Yoruichi's cat like face.
Bastard. An image of a tall man with black hair and the noble Kenseikan placed in his hair appeared. She frowned deeply. Bastard. She swallowed the lump that was forming before launching her zanpakuto into the air, creating an upward arc that sent out a large blast of reiatsu at an unsuspecting tree a few yards away. She blinked, trying to get her mind together. Sighing, and wiping away the sweat once more, she sheathed her companion.
Better to stop now before more trees suffer my wrath. This brought back her earlier faded smile. Though, she spun around when she heard soft clapping. Leaning on the railing was Ichigo Kurosaki, who grinned at her like he knew her every thought.
“Well, I'm sure that tree will feel that in the morning.” He leaned back to jump lithely over the railing and approach her with a cocky smirk. “Too bad it wasn't Byakuya, huh?”
She rolled her eyes and went to hit him in the stomach with the butt of her sword, but clashed against his own Zangetsu. The two stared at one another, before Ichigo smiled rather fondly.
Reaching over, he ruffled her hair, knowing how much it irked her. “Speaking of which, since Renji is so incapable....Byakuya wants you in his office. Something about a report you forgot?”
Ichigo looked honestly confused, but gazed at Kairi for answers. He knew she was normally pretty responsible with her work, to which she smirked. Walking past her friend, she turned back to say over her shoulder, “I didn't forget. He just thinks I did.”
His laughter followed Kairi all the way to her Taicho's office. Two screen sliding doors separated her from the man she loved but wanted to hate. She sighed, pulling out a small packet of papers. The report was greatly wrote, detailing three pages, more than any usual would pull off. Though, Kairi was no usual. For a moment, she was hesitant. Shrugging it off, without knocking or any announcement, Kairi pulled apart the screen doors and walked in as if she owned the place.
To say the look Kuchiki-Taicho gave her could have froze hollows in their tracks and made them turn tail and run was understatement. He was livid, but he hid it well. He was the center of a calm storm, except his eyes. They gazed at Kairi in anger and a slight animosity. She smiled. This was what she wanted.....Then, why did it hurt? Gritting her teeth against that thought, she laid the paper work directly in front of him. Staring into each other's eyes, the two had a mental battle. Kairi wanting to hate him, and her Taicho trying to figure her out.
The moment was shattered when Renji announced himself through the doors. “Kuchiki-Taicho, you wanted me?”
And in strolled the red haired Fukutaicho she loved to verbally abuse. Smirking, she placed a hand on her hip and leaned on her Taicho's desk. “So, you DO have manners inside that monkey brain of yours.”
Kairi almost split her face with the grin she held. She was irritating the two of them at the same time: Renji hated being insulted (especially his intelligence) and Kuchiki-Taicho didn't really want her anywhere near him, let alone leaning on his desk like she was. Though, when her eyes flickered to her Taicho's and she saw the blatant anger, a lump developed in her throat. She immediately spun her head to face Renji and did what she knew how to do: insult him.
“What could he want with an atrocious ape like you?” She even made the gesture of looking down at Renji by lifting her head up in a mocking way.
He took the bait, albeit with gritted teeth. “The same he would want with YOU, Kairi. I don't even see why you're here.” There was a playful banter hidden in his eyes.
Kairi was smirking on the outside as she sauntered her way to the doors, but she was smiling sadly on the inside. Turning to look back, she told the two men, “I'm here because you both know I'm good at what I do. That is why you'll keep me here.”
With grace, she opened the two doors and stepped out, turning to mock bow. When she lifted her head up, she winked and closed the doors. Though she couldn't hear exactly what was being said, she couldn't move from that spot just yet. Her hands remained poised over the doors, her bangs hiding her face from view. Renji and she would yell it out later, but laugh about it when the time came. If she needed him, he would be there. But her Taicho.....There was a giant rift between them. Often, she wondered why he didn't get rid of her himself.
Though Kairi was good at what she did. She'd been told this by him before. So, she guessed, that was it. Yet, she wanted it to be more. Frowning, she shook her head and took off down a corridor, heading towards the one place she could talk to someone: the 11th Division. Once she reached it, she looked out over the recruits vigorously training, and smiled. She raised her hand in greeting, and a few smiled and greeted her back. Smiling slightly, she made her way down the corridors until she ran into the two she was looking for.
A tall man overlooked his recruits with a smirk, a smirk that said he loved to fight. Perched on his shoulder was his Fukutaicho: a little pink haired shinigami. She made her way to the two fo them before reaching up and taking the pink haired girl into her arms. She turned to yell, but when she saw Kairi, her face broke into a grin.
“Kai-chan! Kai-chan! Where have you been?” Yachiru asked, cocking her to the side.
“I've been pretty busy lately, sorry.” She ruffled the little girl's hair. “Kuchiki-Taicho has been working me to death.”
Yachiru seemed to think over this before frowning and putting out her lower lip. “Well, that's mean. Bya-kun should be nicer to you! He should, shouldn't he, Ken-chan?”
The tall giant didn't say anything for a moment before he looked into his companions eyes and grinned. “Well, if he's been busting you around, then you should have gotten better.....You have, haven't you? Gotten stronger?”
His eyes said he already knew the answer. His grin said he was ready for the blood to fly. His zanpakuto was screeching in delight. Kairi watched as Yachiru jumped back onto her Taicho's shoulder and nodded.
“Mmhmm, Ken-chan. I heard Kai-chan learned a new technique!” Yachiru was unaware of what, exactly, she was causing. “And I hear it's amazing.”
Kairi tensed and placed her hand over the hilt of her zanpkauto, narrowing her eyes. Kenpachi looked absolutely delighted, reaching for his own. Neither one got to pull theirs out before Kairi was, rather rudely, hoisted over the shoulder of one Ichigo Kurosaki.
The orange haired man smirked and nodded towards the recruits on the training grounds. “Looks like they're having party down there.”
Distracted, Kenpachi turned his furious gaze to his recruits, who, were indeed, having sake with one another. Ichigo turned on his heel and made his way back towards the 4th Divisions barracks. All the while, Kairi wondered why in the hell she felt like a sack of flour? Sweat dropping, she yelled to Ichigo, “Put me down, fat head!”
He snorted. She took that as a no, and snarled. Kairi focused her reiatsu and was about to shunpo safely away when she felt Ichigo raise his own, trapping her. Growling in frustration, she huffed. “You are mean, and I will file this as abuse. Abuse, you hear me?”
She felt the chuckle, and couldn't help but smile. She thought back on her decision and flinched, before smiling softly. Leave it to Ichigo to understand the mistake she would have made. Ichigo carried her all the way to the 4th Division, before, with a quick wave to Hanataro, deposited Kairi onto one of the many hospital barrack beds. She tried to glare at him, but it softened when she saw his gaze. He was looking at her like she was an idiot. At the moment, she felt like one.
“Sorry.” She mumbled. “Thanks. I was....About to make a mistake I would have regretted. It was just my feelings spun out of control.”
Ichigo softened his features before nodding and leaning against a wall close to her bed. “Yeah. I felt your reiatsu and Kenpachi's. I guess I just knew.” He looked her over. “Besides, your wounds weren't healed. We're used to you two sparring, but with the wounds you received.....”
Kairi held a hand over her heart, where bandages covered her whole front torso. She looked back up at Ichigo with a smile. “Yeah, I guess I would have lost huh? I'm fine now though. You should head back. You've probably got a lot to do. I'll rest here, and then.....Go see if Kuchiki-Taicho needs me.”
Ichigo looked her over a second, before nodding and leaning away from the wall. He reached over to try and ruffle her hair, but was met with the hilt of her blade. Smiling, she waved him off. The moment the door closed, her hand fell limply to her side. She looked down at the bandages showing and closed her eyes tightly, trying to forget what she was hiding.
“You can't hide forever. One day, they'll know. One day, they'll look at you in disgust.....And then, one day, you'll be all alone. Again.”
Kairi squeezed her zanpakuto against her hollow's voice, and shook her head. “No, they won't find out, because.” She lifted her head to stare at the blue sky that, suddenly, seemed so far out of reach. “I won't ever tell them.”
With fingers spread wide, Kairi tried to reach for a cloud in the sky, a smile of determination lighting up her features. “No matter how far the cloud, I'll keep reaching until my hand can't reach anymore. I won't give up.”
Deep within her, Kairi's hollow Auria was gazing at the starry sky in Kairi's inner world. Seeing the smile, Auria clenched her fist and kept her lips tightly shut. Lifting up a hand, she watched as a falling star fell straight through her fingers. “No matter how much I reach, I will never grasp a star.” Auria tried to smile, but in the end, all she could do was wish she could.
“Keep reaching.” Shinsei, Kairi's zanpkauto, placed a hand on Auria's shoulder.
And together, the two reached for the falling stars they knew they could never touch. Outisde, Kairi reached for a cloud she would never hold within her fingers, a small smile spread across her lips. She may never reach it, but she would sure as hell try.

General Information
Name: Kairi Valor
Actual Age: 190
Appearing Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance:
The first thing anyone would notice about Kairi Valor is her eyes. They are a mix of blues with a silver outline, resembling oddly the night sky. She's about 5'6'' and weighs in at about 127. Her hair is long, down to her knees and black as a raven's feather. Two strands of dark blue hang over her cheeks, making her look slightly more regal. Her complexion is quite pale, but not sickly. She appears to be a shade or two up from the whiteness fo a hollow mask. She has a body figure to an hourglass, but slightly more thin. She seems fragile, almost. She has long legs and arms, and nicely shaped hips. Her chest size is a C, though, at times, she can wear a D.
She wears the Shinigami attire, with some slight.....Altercations. The shitagi (inner kimono) is normal, as is the kosode (outer Kimono), except that the shitagi and kosode both hangs off her upper arms. Though it hangs loosely off her arms, it never appears to fall off or too low to reveal anything. The hakama are pretty much the same. She wears a light blue scarf resembling Byakuya's, but hangs more loosely off her body, and she only wears in battle. Her zanpakuto is on her left side, black sheath and blends in well with the Shinigami outfit. She wears a sapphire necklace with the starburst cut, swirling with blues and resembling her eyes.
Personality:
She'd barely gotten in the Academy, having nothing but her sword to prove her worth. Most thought of her as unworthy, considering she didn't have anything before the Academy. She did, however, get fairly good grades, never falling below a B. She doesn't practice often at all, not because she's lazy or conceited, but because she has strong faith in her abilities and her sword. Since she transferred to the 6th Division, she has learned to keep up her swordsmanship but one couldn't say the same for her kido.
Kairi does have a witty tongue, and is always willing to end a fight (she never starts one, not really). Even though she's in the 6th Division, she doesn't appear to like Byakuya much. She's always willing to fight with him, over any little thing. She's vulgar at times, but seems to be liked by most. She has developed some nakama over the years she's been in the 6th Division. Kairi's closest friends include Ukitake, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Ichigo, Kenpachi, and Yachiru. She especially bonded with Yachiru, for some reason. The two can often be found making mischief together at times. Kairi has the tendency to be childish at times.
Although she fights with her Captain, she does in some way, hold him in respect. Surprisingly, she doesn't hate him as much as she wants everyone to believe. After some fighting (and some sword clashing), she begins to fall for her cold, noble Captain. She knows she could never be worthy, nor take the place of his deceased wife. Feeling inadequate, she tries to convince herself she can learn to hate him. In reality, she can't no matter how hard she tries. And even though she does try, she would give her life for him, not just because of her love for him, but her loyalty.
She prefers to go by Shinigami X, a name in which she has earned from an attack in her Bankai state. She was well known by X, sometimes, Kai-chan (Yachiru) or X-san (recruits). Even some of her friends deemed her by X or Kai-chan!
History – Life:
The earliest memories she could remember are not until she was 5. Anything before that remains unknown. She only remembers the rain and the blood pooled around her. She was drenched not only in the rain, but the blood. She eventually wandered from the hut she had been staying in, until she reached the edge of the forest. There, before her, was a slain village. She began to believe though, that she was a monster. But she couldn't let that get her down. Even after she believed herself to be a monster, she learned to smile again. She wasn't giving up that easy. Then, the bandits raided the destroyed village for precious items, and they found her.
Kairi didn't know what happened, but she remembered the feeling of them all around her, the pain between her legs, and the ever dawning defiance. She knew something was wrong, even after they left her to bleed and die in the rain. Though she did die, she managed a smile, determined to be happy despite the circumstances. She wasn't sure what happened, because as a soul, she never woke up. All she remembered was a warm feeling, before a light engulfed her, and she found herself in Soul Society, reborn.
History – Rebirth:
Kairi Valor was reborn in District 78 – Inuzuri, in South Rukongai. She didn't know why she had wanted to become a Shinigami, but the moment she had found her way to the Academy, she excelled at swordsmanship. Her reiatsu wasn't overly active, making others think of her as weak. Though she was picked on quite frequently, she managed to uphold herself and her dignity. She refused to fall to their level. Though she wasn't an expert, she did know a little about Kido, enough to sustain her and her need for knowledge.
This was a new life for her, and she wanted to start over. After her graduation, she was placed in the 6th Division, under Kuchiki Byakuya-Taicho and Abarai Renji-Fukutaicho. Though she did have manners, she also had a temper, which resulted in many disputes between her and her fukutaicho. But even though they fought often, Kairi and Renji developed a friendship......Albeit, one of fighting, but still a friendship. The one thing that Kairi excelled at, was her ability to hear and wield zanpakuto. She could even hear the spirits of OTHER zanpakuto!
She already had her zanpakuto's name before she even entered the Shinigami Academy, the only thing left in her mind before and after her death. To say Kairi and her zanpakuto were close would be an understatement. Though her zanpakuto hardly ever shows her spirit, the two are more than just nakama, but have a bond far greater. Bonding with and wielding Shinsei Suta no Seishin (Nova Star Spirit) was the easy part. Learning to not hear other zanpakuto's is not.
When the Ryoka had invaded, Kairi had felt, despite her loyalty, that they would do no harm. It confused her, even more so when Shinsei (Nova: the nickname for her zanpakuto) was quiet. After Aizen's betrayal, Kairi was, behind the scenes, the one who kept the whole Squad together. She may have tried to deny her love for her Taicho, but she respected him enough to keep things together.
The first time her hollow made an appearance, she had no idea what she had gotten herself into. Kuchiki-Taicho had assigned her the task of defeating a hollow that had appeared in a zone outside of the Rukongai, something that should not have been possible. She'd been doing well against the hollow, until, of course, Shinsei let the hollow pierce her heart. The betrayal was enough to let her fade into darkness, never seeing her blade glow.
Deep into the recesses of her heart and soul, she awakes surrounded by stars. A full moon hangs overhead, and it is here she meets her hollow. Slowly, the full moon begins to turn into a new moon, a large spiritual pressure making Kairi fall to her knees. When she is able to lift her head, the moon in complete shadow, she looks into her own face. There isn't much a difference, except her hollow looks more.....Nobel, regal even. The strangest thing of all is she isn't wearing a mask, instead, fanning out from her forehead and framing her cheeks are glowing dark blue symbols. They glow, and in the middle of her forehead is a black crescent moon.
Her hair is pulled back on the sides and tied at the back by a silver ribbon. She is wearing a two piece layered kimono. The inner kimono is dark blue, littered with small crescent moons, adding a childish hue. The outer kimono is black, with silver sparkles, reminding one of the night sky laying around them. The obi is dark blue, and she wears no shoes. Kairi looks into her own disfigured eyes, seeing dark blue eyes with an ice blue outline.
On the woman's head is a silver circlet, intertwined with a black circlet. Kairi looks around at the star ridden world, before raising her hand, feeling her reiatsu forming a Kido spell she knew well. But before she could fire her spell, the hollow version of herself placed it's hand to hers, palm to palm. Feeling the hand that should have been cold, feel warm, made her gasp. She looked into it's eyes – her eyes – and felt tears welling up.
There was only one thing she could have said. “You.....Don't want to kill me.”
Her hollow smiled, and with a whispered voice, replied, “No. I want you to live. I want to work together.”
And with that, a new power awoke within her. After dispatching the hollow with her companion, Kairi gazed at the sword she'd known all her life. “How...did you know?”
She never got an answer.
The greatest thing was, her hollow was smart, hiding it's own reiatsu in a complex manner by using Kairi's natural reiatsu to cover it. And together, the three made their way back to where they wanted to belong and find a place in the world. She never told anyone, not even Kuchiki-Taicho, about her hollow. She didn't know what would happen, but she knew it would be better to keep quiet. In her report, she simply said she had handled the situation rather well. Kuchiki-Taicho hadn't doubted that, but she knew he suspected something else.
Kairi knew her hollow meant no harm, but she also wandered about the strange connection her zanpakuto had with it. She wondered if, in some way, the hollow didn't even exist.....But somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew she was only hoping, and nothing more.
Kairi, to this day, remains under Kuchiki-Taicho's Squad, and her feelings remain unchanged. One day, she hopes to have the courage to confess her feelings and be worthy enough to be the woman she wants so desperately to be.

Zanpakuto
Name: Shinsei Suta no Seishin (新星スターの精神)
Translation – Nova Star Spirit
Unreleased Appearance:
No Image Yet.
Kairi's zanpakuto is unique. One reason is that it's spirit hardly ever shows itself. There's just a simple feeling of it being there. The unreleased form is in a black sheath with dark blue ribbons hanging from it. The blade has a starburst shaped guard and on the inside of the sheath, on the right side, are engraved the words: “Watashi wa watashi no ha no tame ni ikiru.” (“I live for my blade.”) On the left: “Soshite, watashi no buredo wa, watashi no tame ni sunde iru.” (“And my blade lives for me.”)
Zanpakuto Spirit
Name: Shinsei Suta no Seishin (Nicknamed, Nova)
Gender: Female
No Image Yet.
Shinsei is tall, thin, and feminine. Though, her words can cut like ice, and her power is strong enough that she had to be restricted. She is usually seen with an ice blue kimono, traditional, with a dark blue obi and black starbursts decorating her kimono nicely. Her hair is long and wavy, free, and down to her ankles. She wears something similar to a Japanese bride's headwear, except is gold, and starts as a circlet. It then branches up, and into a flame like pattern, before bending backwards and flowing down her back in gold and somehow silver strands that seem to be on fire, glowing in a slight blue like hue.
Her skin is white, completely, and her eyes are silver, almost white, the pupil red where it should be black. Despite her appearance, she is quite friendly. Though the kimono suggests modesty, a slit goes straight up to her hip, allowing her free movement. Like her companion, the sleeves also hang loosely from the shoulders. Shinsei's eyes have a starburst effect, making her gaze feel penetrating. In her true form, she is a nine tailed fox with silver fur. Though, since her restrictions, her from remains the same except she gains nine tails and fox ears.
Personality:
Shinsei is, in a word, indrawn. She prefers to not be seen by most, only by Kairi, which is very rare anyway. Though, she is quite friendly once she is seen. She projects beauty and commands attention, but in no way is she egotistical. This zanpakuto spirit may seem like a nice little angel, but her temper is as bad as her companions. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and if the occasion calls for it, make you listen. She appears shy at times, timid.
Shinsei will stand up for anyone or anything though, and isn't afraid to do what's right, no matter what the cost may be. She is used to solitude, being chained and forgotten before Kairi found her. The bond they share has become something even the zanpakuto never expected. Even though Kairi is trying to hide her feelings for her Taicho, Shinsei is determined to make it happen......And it has nothing whatsoever to do with Senbonzakura. Nope, nothing at all.
Relationship to Master:
Nakama. Best friend. Sister. These words all describe the relationship Shinsei feels for her master. After all, before they had met each other, they were both alone. They saved each other from the loneliness that threatened their very existence, and fought it together. Even though Shinsei highly respects and loves her master, she sometimes wishes the girl would be more honest, and hold herself in higher regard. Shinsei knows the girl is capable of more than she lets on.
It's not just about respect and love, Shinsei also feelings of bafflement towards her master. On a rare occasion, she becomes annoyed. Though, Shinsei feels she is better with her master than without. And this is a fact, neither hides from anyone. They don't need to; they were reborn together, and when the time comes, they'll die together.
Inner World:
This one is difficult. When Kairi faced her inner hollow, she was surrounded by the Universe, but after the incident, when she returned to her inner world, it had changed. She found herself faced with an open field, no forests, no trees of any kind. Just a large expanse of field, with blue fireflies darting about everywhere. The most amazing is the sky, so close, Kairi feels she could almost touch it. And falling from the endless star ridden sky, are little small stars themselves. They are tiny little specks, but add an unearthly glow to the world inside Kairi.
A small stream runs through the center, a divider. On the opposite side, one can see, in the distance, a bridge that leads up, eventually, to a castle. Kairi can't help but want to cross the stream and go to the castle, but a feeling stops her. She must never go there, she knows, but still.....She wonders......
Inner Hollow
Name: Auria
Gender: Female
Appearance:
The first thing one notices about Auria are the dark blue markings and black crescent moon on her face. She wears a two layered kimono and has dark blue eyes outlined in ice blue. She wears a silver circlet intertwined with a black circlet. There is a point to the circlets and the colors, considering the black is overrun by the silver circlet. Auria does have a hollow mask, but it only appears in dire need, and when it does, the black circlet overcomes the silver circlet.
Auria is slightly taller than Kairi, but an inch or two shorter than Shinsei. The two can often be found lounging together in Kairi's inner world.
Personality:
She enjoys the fighting, and is way more vulgar than Kairi. Auria, despite her bluntness at times, doesn't care too much for the war between hollows and shinigami. She understands a little bit more than most. Without the hollows, the world would collapse, and without the shinigami, the same would happen. So Auria despises the fighting between them. Though she's friendly, she can't seem to remember to smile through her pain.
She's forgotten what it means to break through her pain, and instead, relishes in it. She can be cold and hurtful, but deep inside, to Kairi the most, she is able to muster a smile with only her eyes. The only way she remembers how.
Relationship to Master:
Auria is kind to Kairi, but feels slightly envious. Kairi can smile even through her pain filled past and future that awaits her. Harboring these feelings towards Kairi is what keeps the hollow from fully accepting her as Auria knows she should. She does respect her, and does believe them to be friends, but her feelings of envy will never leave. Slowly, overtime, she pushes them farther back, but something like that will never completely disappear.
Auria does connect with Kairi, but sometimes, she wants to rip the smile off the girl's face and let her cry. She thinks it, wants it, but never does it. She knows her mask is breakable, and knows if it is ever broken, she will never pick up the pieces of the hollow she wants to be compared to the dark hollow inside her wanting to be free, a hollow she's not sure she wants to keep hidden.
Hollow Abilities
Mask Appearance and Summoning:
The mask isn't like normal hollow masks. Instead of where it's normally white, it is pure black. Where on Auria the crescent moon was black, it is now white. And where the markings had been a dark blue, they are now an ice blue color. The mask's shape, however, looks like a normal hollow mask. Skull shaped, sharp teeth. The eye sockets, instead of the normal black, bleed a bright white. The pupil s however are not yellow, they are black slits.
When Kairi summons her mask, all she has to do is focus while taking her index finger, spilling her blood, and using the blood to draw a crescent moon on her forehead. The blue markings will then appear, followed by Auria. In order to summon the darker hollow, either her life must be in danger or she must draw another crescent moon from her blood onto her chest. The time in which the mask can be wielded is unknown, since Kairi doesn't tend to use it often.
Hollow Abilities
Munmemori (Moon Memory)
Description of Attack:
Munmemori is both an illusion, and not an illusion. Kairi, when in her hollow form is able to wipe away the memory of an opponent, turning them into a Blank. She absorbs these memories for herself, and is able to utilize an attack compromised of what they are afraid of and tear apart their minds from the inside by destroying the Blank part of them, which holds their memories.
Limitations:
With every time this attack used, a piece of Kairi's memory becomes overtaken by the opponents, and this brings her closer to the darkness inside her hollow and herself. She can only uphold this for about 10 minutes. Also, by destroying the Blank inside them, her own Blank which contains her own memories, is slowly disappearing. She can utilize the opponents fear using an element, which includes things like the stars, shadows, ice, etc.
Choshinsei (Supernova)
Description of Attack: Choshinsei is probably the most dangerous attack Kairi's hollow is in possession of. This attack causes a large amount of reiatsu to build up inside of her own heart, before releasing it in a large blast. The repercussions of most of this attack are highly fatal. It involves explosion of the heart, internal bleeding to the fourth degree, external injuries like broken ribs, and other such injuries. Normally, almost right after this attack, Kairi must revert back to her original form.
Limitations:
Highly fatal results. The blast is deadly, but can only reach as far as Kairi's reiatsu. The weaker she is, the less the distance. The stronger she is, the more the distance covered. She can use this attack while moving, but the results will be even more fatal.
Munsuta (Moon Star)
Description of Attack:
This attack is the easiest and less fatal of all Kairi's hollow attacks. Munsuta allows Kairi to split her blade, Shinsei Suta no Seishin, or Shinsei, into two. One blade is pure white, made of a stone called a blue moonstone. The guard is pure black, and completely round. The hilt is wrapped in silver, grey, and black ribbons. The blade itself is thin, but sharp, resembling a samurai sword in curved texture. The other is a mix of blues, purples, and some specks of swirling silver and black. This blade swirls all the colors together. The guard is black also, and the hilt is wrapped in black, torn ribbon. This sword resembles more of Rukia's, Sode no Shirayuki, including the one thin dark blue strand hanging off the end of the hilt. With these two blades, Kairi has more leverage, and more available techniques. If one blade is lost, it will return to her hand when called.
Limitations:
Her reiatsu, if she uses the attack when she is already weakened, can result in a comatose state. Considering the attack just adds slightly more attack and speed development, there aren't too many limitations. If she doesn't have the reiatsu left to call back her blade, both will revert back to the original Shinsei Suta no Seishin form.
Zanpakuto Shikai
Call Out Phrase: “Yume, Shinsei Suta no Seishin.”
Translation: “Dream, Nova Star Spirit.”
Shikai Appearance:
When released, Shinsei glows a sapphire color before bursting into flames. The flames start at the hilt, burning away the ribbons and leaving in their wake a swirling hilt of reiatsu energy. The flames engulf the guard and remove it completely, and form their, swallow the blade. Once the flames are done, they wrap around the hilt and become the guard, burning sapphire. The blade resembles Ichigo's Zangetsu, except defintely not as large. The blade comes down from the guard like Ichigo's, and goes outward. The blade is thin, but sharp and agile. Lengthwise, the blade is about 2 or 3 inches. The blade itself is see through, holding inside it a swirling mix of sapphire, lavender, and silver.
Shikai Abilities:
Utau (Sing)
Description of Attack:
This attack does not exert physical force. Shinsei lets out a sad, keening melody that makes anyone in the vicinity feel a suffocating sadness and remember the saddest memory they have experienced, immobilizing the opponent.
Type: Offensive
Effects: Mental exhaustion; distraction; suffocating sadness
Range: Anyone in the vicinity of the fight.
Limitation: The melody only lasts 5 minutes, and can only be used 15 minutes apart.
Sutafaiya (Starfire)
Description of Attack:
The flames that have become the guard engulf the sword once more, sparkling with stars. This attack can be used in multiple succession, by scattering “stars” everywhere, and once connected with the opponent, releases a large burst of “star fire”. The tiny “stars” do attach themselves to opponent to slow down their movements and drain their reiatsu, delivering it to Shinsei.
Type: Offensive
Effects: Because the guard is missing, Kairi cannot defend with the blade. If she tries, her hand will be cut immensely without the guard.
Tier Effects: Two to one tier levels below will experience deep gashes and intense burning. The “stars” also, will have more of an effect. A tier of the same level, maybe, will experience damage of about 70%. A tier level above will experience damage of 50%-60%. And two tier levels above will experience only about 20%, or from little to no effect.
Range: Contact with opponent; “stars” can only travel with those on whom they've contacted and when first released, can only surround Kairi and her opponent within a 5 mile radius.
Limitation: The “starrs” only last 5 minutes unless they have made contact, and can be easily cut down, since they do not move very fast. The “star fire” does deal a great burn damage, but only if the blade is allowed to cut. If the blade is put into skin, but stopped from completely cutting open an opponent, the “star fire” will deal less damage.
Sakura Sutashirudo (Cherry Blossom Star Shields)
Description of Attack:
This is a defensive maneuver, used to shield Kairi. From the butt of her hilt, where a dark blue cherry blossom petal is etched, will fly out dark blue cherry blossom petals, surrounded by small, almost invisible “star” specks. She got this from her Taicho, having wanted to impress him (even if she denied it to the tenth degree). These petals will float around her, creating small shield when anyone attacks and their blades try to connect with her. She can attack through the petals, but it is harder for the opponent to hit her.
Type: Defensive
Effects: The number of cherry blossom petals is decreased when they are attacked.
Tier Effects: Against either a level or two above Kairi, the petals will only last from no effect to 5 minutes. Against someone of the same level, the time is considered to be 15 minutes. And for tier levels one and two below, the time duration of petals is from 30-40 minutes.
Range: Start at 3 feet from her body and go up to 15 feet away.
Limitation: After an hour the petals completely disappear, but are very weak to begin with. Most of the time, the petals can be dealt with before the time limit. They do not retaliate, but are simply used as small shields, and the disappear.
Yoru no Nami (Night Wave)
Description of Attack:
The guard made of blue flames surround Shinsei, creating what looks like a second see through sword over Shinsei itself. From there, the two swords made one are engulfed by an inky darkness with tiny sparks in it, the sparks being stars. The shadowy darkness moves and shifts as if it is alive, and when used, Kairi can do it any fo the ways listed: connecting with the opponent, where the shadows engulf the wounded part fo the body and create a shield against healing; from a distance, by swinging in the direction she wishes the darkness to go, in a wve like fashion; or she can slam the sword int othe ground, creating a large inky darkness that erupts from the ground and cuts the opponent in many different ways.
Type: Offensive and Defensive
Effects: Healing cannot be used on any wound the darkness has caused or infected; damages Kairi's hand by sinking into the skin and creating small shock waves, weakening her hand considerably. The more it is used, the farther up the darkness travels, and the farther it travels, the more it weakens the body. When used in defense, the sword is held to block an attack and engulfs the opponents weapon or form of attack and sends a shock wave through their body to thrown them away.
Tier Effects: Two to one level below will receive full effects, considering it is Kairi's most strongest attack in Shikai form. Same level opponents will receive from 90%-60%. And two to one level above will receive from 40%-10%. An opponent can only go unharmed if they manage to dodge the attack in the first place.
Limitation: Kairi's body will eventually be filled with the inky darkness the more she uses the attack. When defending, this still counts, but to less of a degree. The range is very small, considering it a sword wielding attack, and the wave can only travel 7 feet. This attack cannot be used very long. It would only take 5 hours for Kairi's body to be completely engulfed in the inky darkness.
Shikai Extension Period: She can hold her Bankai longer than her Shikai, which only lasts about an hour to 2 at the most. If the Yoru no Nami is used frequently, that is cut into half or 3/4 of the time.
Elemental Limit: She can hold her Shikai's elemental limit for only about an hour, before the blade is reduced to only the flame guard. She can only use, in this state, Sakura Sutashirudo and Utau.
Zanpakuto Bankai
Name: Hoshi no Yoru no Seishin
Translation: Star Night Spirit
Bankai Appearance:
In this form, Shinsei is engulfed completely in darkness. When the darkness begins to seep off, the blade is revealed. The hilt is completely black with small shimmering stars inside it. The guard is solidified dark blue flames, bent backwards towards Kairi, falling over her hand. The sword itself is completely black, shimmering with silver, blue, and purple sparkles. Kairi wields one in each hand.
Bankai Abilities:
X no Naitofurea (X Night Flare)
Description of Attack:
Kairi allows both blades to be engulfed in a shimmering darkness, before launching an attack in the shape of an x by crossing her swords. The large X shape is made of darkness and moves very quickly. Can also be used to engulf another zanpakuto's attack and blow up.
Type: Offensive and Defensive
Effect: Long and close range. The pain is not immediate. The pain will not start until reiatsu is released. If a change in reiatsu is sensed, the pain will become greater.
Tier Effect: Two to one level below experience all to 90% of the damage, while same level tiers receive 50%-70%. Two to one level above may experience nothing to 20% of the damage.
Range: Long and close
Limitations: Kairi can only use this attack a total of 3 times per fight before the darkness engulfs her wrist and will break it.
Sutafokkususoringo (Soaring Star Fox)
Description of Attack:
Kairi's strongest Bankai attack. Kairi's reiatsu takes on the form of her Bankai's form: a giant nine tailed fox. The restrictions placed do not apply to Bankai. Using her sword, she directs the fox which uses her reiatsu as means to survive and attack. The fox can use the attacks listed: Yoru no Nami (from the claws), Sutafaiya (from the mouth), and Utau. The fox also carries it's own moves, but the restrictions restrict all but one: the Sutafokkususoringo. The fox gathers a large amount of the dark inky energy, before launching at the opponent. Unlike most, this fox has a mind of it's own, and will not stop until either the opponent is hit or the opponent is able to destroy it.
Type: Offensive
Effect: Drains Kairi rather quickly. Per fight, Kairi can only use the attack once. Very powerful. The Sutafokkususoringo damages the opponent badly, but also Kairi.
Tier Effect: Two to one level above will be affected at least by 30% of the attack, at the least 10%. Someone of the same level will be dealt 60%-70%, and levels below will deal with all the damage.
Range: Long or Close
Limitations: Kairi's blade will revert back to it's Shikai form immediately after use, and Bankai will not be able to be used the remainder of the fight. If there is more than one fight, one right after the other, then Kairi will probably not be able to use it until after a recuperation period.
Suisei Surasshu (Comet Slash)
Description of Attack:
Kairi's intermediate attack, that drains no reiatsu, and can be used for a long period, including the entire time Bankai is used. Comets surround Kairi, and whenever she makes a swing at an opponent, regardless of whether her attack makes ocntact or not, a certain number of comets will fly towards the opponent. Even if Bankai misses, the comets give an advantage.
Type: Offensive
Effect: Comets fly towards the opponent, in varied numbers.
Tier Effect: Someone of the same level might be dealt with 30%, while two levels above will experience 10% to nothing at all. Two levels or so below will experience between 40%-60%.
Range: Long or Close
Limitations: The amount of comets that can be completely summoned is 7. Kairi cannot control how many are sent out, and which ones or in which direction. It's more of a gamble move.
Munshirudo (Moon Shield)
Description of Attack:
This is Kairi's defensive maneuver. Her blade will create a white shiled made of moonstone between her and an opponent, from the blade itself.
Type: Defensive
Effect: The shield created by the blade will keep the two blades stuck to the shield for a few seconds, draining the damage from both attacks (or parried defenses in some cases), which includes the reiatsu, before sending both parties flying backwards a good distance away from each other, before imploding on itself.
Range: Close
Limitations: Both parties receive drained reiatsu and are sent backwards. This defense maneuver is the quickest way to drain both parties.
Bankai Extension:
If any of the attacks mentioned bove are used for longer than 5 hours, Kairi will automatically revert to beyond her Shikai form and not be able to summon even any Kido spells.
Sample Post
She swung her zanpakuto downwards, letting out a “Ha!” as she did so. Her stance would remind one of Kendo: the way she held herself, the way her foot would step forward with every swing, and the familiar shout that would follow. She resembled every ounce a warrior who knew how to wield her sword. Sweat dripped down her brow and down her face, dropping from her chin. She was in a slight pant, her breath mixing with the slightly cold air. It was, after all, a little past six in the morning and slightly chilly.
Kairi loved the chilly morning air when it came time for her practice. The cold helped her to be focused, to keep her mind on the matter of her training. She let her dominant hand, the one which held her zanpakuto, fall to her side. She used her other arm to wipe the sweat from her face, smiling. The smile, though, quickly faded. Unconsciously, her grip on her zanpakuto tightened. Her gaze became heavy and narrow, resembling Yoruichi's cat like face.
Bastard. An image of a tall man with black hair and the noble Kenseikan placed in his hair appeared. She frowned deeply. Bastard. She swallowed the lump that was forming before launching her zanpakuto into the air, creating an upward arc that sent out a large blast of reiatsu at an unsuspecting tree a few yards away. She blinked, trying to get her mind together. Sighing, and wiping away the sweat once more, she sheathed her companion.
Better to stop now before more trees suffer my wrath. This brought back her earlier faded smile. Though, she spun around when she heard soft clapping. Leaning on the railing was Ichigo Kurosaki, who grinned at her like he knew her every thought.
“Well, I'm sure that tree will feel that in the morning.” He leaned back to jump lithely over the railing and approach her with a cocky smirk. “Too bad it wasn't Byakuya, huh?”
She rolled her eyes and went to hit him in the stomach with the butt of her sword, but clashed against his own Zangetsu. The two stared at one another, before Ichigo smiled rather fondly.
Reaching over, he ruffled her hair, knowing how much it irked her. “Speaking of which, since Renji is so incapable....Byakuya wants you in his office. Something about a report you forgot?”
Ichigo looked honestly confused, but gazed at Kairi for answers. He knew she was normally pretty responsible with her work, to which she smirked. Walking past her friend, she turned back to say over her shoulder, “I didn't forget. He just thinks I did.”
His laughter followed Kairi all the way to her Taicho's office. Two screen sliding doors separated her from the man she loved but wanted to hate. She sighed, pulling out a small packet of papers. The report was greatly wrote, detailing three pages, more than any usual would pull off. Though, Kairi was no usual. For a moment, she was hesitant. Shrugging it off, without knocking or any announcement, Kairi pulled apart the screen doors and walked in as if she owned the place.
To say the look Kuchiki-Taicho gave her could have froze hollows in their tracks and made them turn tail and run was understatement. He was livid, but he hid it well. He was the center of a calm storm, except his eyes. They gazed at Kairi in anger and a slight animosity. She smiled. This was what she wanted.....Then, why did it hurt? Gritting her teeth against that thought, she laid the paper work directly in front of him. Staring into each other's eyes, the two had a mental battle. Kairi wanting to hate him, and her Taicho trying to figure her out.
The moment was shattered when Renji announced himself through the doors. “Kuchiki-Taicho, you wanted me?”
And in strolled the red haired Fukutaicho she loved to verbally abuse. Smirking, she placed a hand on her hip and leaned on her Taicho's desk. “So, you DO have manners inside that monkey brain of yours.”
Kairi almost split her face with the grin she held. She was irritating the two of them at the same time: Renji hated being insulted (especially his intelligence) and Kuchiki-Taicho didn't really want her anywhere near him, let alone leaning on his desk like she was. Though, when her eyes flickered to her Taicho's and she saw the blatant anger, a lump developed in her throat. She immediately spun her head to face Renji and did what she knew how to do: insult him.
“What could he want with an atrocious ape like you?” She even made the gesture of looking down at Renji by lifting her head up in a mocking way.
He took the bait, albeit with gritted teeth. “The same he would want with YOU, Kairi. I don't even see why you're here.” There was a playful banter hidden in his eyes.
Kairi was smirking on the outside as she sauntered her way to the doors, but she was smiling sadly on the inside. Turning to look back, she told the two men, “I'm here because you both know I'm good at what I do. That is why you'll keep me here.”
With grace, she opened the two doors and stepped out, turning to mock bow. When she lifted her head up, she winked and closed the doors. Though she couldn't hear exactly what was being said, she couldn't move from that spot just yet. Her hands remained poised over the doors, her bangs hiding her face from view. Renji and she would yell it out later, but laugh about it when the time came. If she needed him, he would be there. But her Taicho.....There was a giant rift between them. Often, she wondered why he didn't get rid of her himself.
Though Kairi was good at what she did. She'd been told this by him before. So, she guessed, that was it. Yet, she wanted it to be more. Frowning, she shook her head and took off down a corridor, heading towards the one place she could talk to someone: the 11th Division. Once she reached it, she looked out over the recruits vigorously training, and smiled. She raised her hand in greeting, and a few smiled and greeted her back. Smiling slightly, she made her way down the corridors until she ran into the two she was looking for.
A tall man overlooked his recruits with a smirk, a smirk that said he loved to fight. Perched on his shoulder was his Fukutaicho: a little pink haired shinigami. She made her way to the two fo them before reaching up and taking the pink haired girl into her arms. She turned to yell, but when she saw Kairi, her face broke into a grin.
“Kai-chan! Kai-chan! Where have you been?” Yachiru asked, cocking her to the side.
“I've been pretty busy lately, sorry.” She ruffled the little girl's hair. “Kuchiki-Taicho has been working me to death.”
Yachiru seemed to think over this before frowning and putting out her lower lip. “Well, that's mean. Bya-kun should be nicer to you! He should, shouldn't he, Ken-chan?”
The tall giant didn't say anything for a moment before he looked into his companions eyes and grinned. “Well, if he's been busting you around, then you should have gotten better.....You have, haven't you? Gotten stronger?”
His eyes said he already knew the answer. His grin said he was ready for the blood to fly. His zanpakuto was screeching in delight. Kairi watched as Yachiru jumped back onto her Taicho's shoulder and nodded.
“Mmhmm, Ken-chan. I heard Kai-chan learned a new technique!” Yachiru was unaware of what, exactly, she was causing. “And I hear it's amazing.”
Kairi tensed and placed her hand over the hilt of her zanpkauto, narrowing her eyes. Kenpachi looked absolutely delighted, reaching for his own. Neither one got to pull theirs out before Kairi was, rather rudely, hoisted over the shoulder of one Ichigo Kurosaki.
The orange haired man smirked and nodded towards the recruits on the training grounds. “Looks like they're having party down there.”
Distracted, Kenpachi turned his furious gaze to his recruits, who, were indeed, having sake with one another. Ichigo turned on his heel and made his way back towards the 4th Divisions barracks. All the while, Kairi wondered why in the hell she felt like a sack of flour? Sweat dropping, she yelled to Ichigo, “Put me down, fat head!”
He snorted. She took that as a no, and snarled. Kairi focused her reiatsu and was about to shunpo safely away when she felt Ichigo raise his own, trapping her. Growling in frustration, she huffed. “You are mean, and I will file this as abuse. Abuse, you hear me?”
She felt the chuckle, and couldn't help but smile. She thought back on her decision and flinched, before smiling softly. Leave it to Ichigo to understand the mistake she would have made. Ichigo carried her all the way to the 4th Division, before, with a quick wave to Hanataro, deposited Kairi onto one of the many hospital barrack beds. She tried to glare at him, but it softened when she saw his gaze. He was looking at her like she was an idiot. At the moment, she felt like one.
“Sorry.” She mumbled. “Thanks. I was....About to make a mistake I would have regretted. It was just my feelings spun out of control.”
Ichigo softened his features before nodding and leaning against a wall close to her bed. “Yeah. I felt your reiatsu and Kenpachi's. I guess I just knew.” He looked her over. “Besides, your wounds weren't healed. We're used to you two sparring, but with the wounds you received.....”
Kairi held a hand over her heart, where bandages covered her whole front torso. She looked back up at Ichigo with a smile. “Yeah, I guess I would have lost huh? I'm fine now though. You should head back. You've probably got a lot to do. I'll rest here, and then.....Go see if Kuchiki-Taicho needs me.”
Ichigo looked her over a second, before nodding and leaning away from the wall. He reached over to try and ruffle her hair, but was met with the hilt of her blade. Smiling, she waved him off. The moment the door closed, her hand fell limply to her side. She looked down at the bandages showing and closed her eyes tightly, trying to forget what she was hiding.
“You can't hide forever. One day, they'll know. One day, they'll look at you in disgust.....And then, one day, you'll be all alone. Again.”
Kairi squeezed her zanpakuto against her hollow's voice, and shook her head. “No, they won't find out, because.” She lifted her head to stare at the blue sky that, suddenly, seemed so far out of reach. “I won't ever tell them.”
With fingers spread wide, Kairi tried to reach for a cloud in the sky, a smile of determination lighting up her features. “No matter how far the cloud, I'll keep reaching until my hand can't reach anymore. I won't give up.”
Deep within her, Kairi's hollow Auria was gazing at the starry sky in Kairi's inner world. Seeing the smile, Auria clenched her fist and kept her lips tightly shut. Lifting up a hand, she watched as a falling star fell straight through her fingers. “No matter how much I reach, I will never grasp a star.” Auria tried to smile, but in the end, all she could do was wish she could.
“Keep reaching.” Shinsei, Kairi's zanpkauto, placed a hand on Auria's shoulder.
And together, the two reached for the falling stars they knew they could never touch. Outisde, Kairi reached for a cloud she would never hold within her fingers, a small smile spread across her lips. She may never reach it, but she would sure as hell try.
