Personality:
Takatsui is a fun-loving, laid back Shinigami who usualy shirks his duties to do nothing. However, during wartime or any significant battles, he's quick to pick up the leader stick and make sure everything is working, and won't let up until the crisis is over. He takes this to overwhelming means, to the point that he is almost angered at the drop of a dime if someone in his division desides to screw off during this time, or do anything NOT serious. And while he's laid back, he's certainly not an idiot, and doesn't take kindly to anyone who is. Its at the point that acts of stupidity send him into a rage that almost rivals the one he experiences during wartime.Appearance:
Zanpakuto Spirit:
Height: 5 foot 11 inches
Weight: 125 pounds
Eye Color: Green
Shoe Size: 13
He has long, red hair that comes past his ears and stops just above his eyes. Its very thin, and has a habid of blowing in the wind, even when theres no wind.
His build is similar to Ulquiorra's or Ichigo's, in that he's clearly got muscles but isn't a buff bodybuilder. He has a white smile of perfectly aligned teeth, something the girls have a hard time ignoring, especially because he's usually smiling.
He's ditched the usual poofy shinigami outfit for a more fitting one. Its generally the same, although the pants work more as pants, and less like dresses on his legs. His shirt is usually untucked, and open-chested, revealing a tight-fitting white shirt. The sleeves on his black shinigami shirt are also less poofy, fitting more like loose sleeves on a shirt.
Takatsui's spirit is a blue Parakeet, which goes by the name Seirei (Wraith). Its inner world is a giant bird cage, filled with water (which anyone who enters can breathe in). Seirei is generally as laid back as Takatsui, if even more, as it sometime questions why they have to fight instead of relaxing.Sealed Zanpakuto:
A general-lengthed katana. Its hilt is shaped like an umbrella, which apparently can grow into umbrella size when he pumps some reishi into it, which he usually sticks into the ground and leans on to relax. The hilt is a light blue color (NOT Carolina Blue. NEVER Carolina Blue).Shikai Description:
Its release command is "Crash Down", so when said completely, its "Crash Down, Seirei".Shikai Abilities:
When released, Seirei takes the form of a pirate's Sabre, complete with the funkadelic guard. As its general ability, the blade can become water, which Takatsui manipulates to its fullest.
When Seirei's blade is in its water state, Takatsui manipulates it into three basic forms, usually in order:Bankai Description:
1) A whip of water. Just like it says, the blade is whipped around and sent flying, expanding into a whip-like state due to its state as water.
2) Eventually, after Takatsui tires from using the whip, he will attempt to finish the battle by whipping one last time, but instead of actually whipping the opponent, the water will gather as an orb around their head, drowning them. Takatsui usually pulls it tight to prevent some struggle, making the kill easier. However, as its just water, its no real feat to escape from it, as there no mass to keep you in the orb.
3) If the drowning doesn't work, Takatsui can divide the remaining water, not being used in the orb, into another whip, but sparpens it into a blade, which he uses to impale his prey.
When raw power is needed, however, Takatsui has a number of techniques he can use:
1) Takatsui can swing his blade in a large arc, right to left, at the end the blade detaching from the hilt. This results in a wide arc of water sent flying at the opponent. As it covers a wide area, it isn't the most powerful of his attacks, and can easily be dodged by ducking or jumping, but it DOES cover a wide range, and can be useful in getting an opponent off balance.
This technique can range in size, as Takatsui can use it to the point of only firing off part of the water from his blade. The maximum range the blast can cover is the maximum 20 feet of the whip, resulting in absolutely no sword left, but he can fire off any amount smaller than that, although the sword will be significantly smaller in proportion to the amount fired off.
2) By gathering the water from the previous technique in one place, Takatsui can generate a large vortex of water over the water-covered area. Not some much as a tornado-type vortex, but like twin spirals of water. This can be used to close off Takatsui and his opponent from the outside, to be a shield from a generic incoming attack, or even to trap his opponent and compress it tighter, becoming a true water tornado, eventually crushing them, shredding him, or maiming them.
3) When need be, Seirei's true potential is unleashed. By pumping his reishi through Seirei's water, he can freeze it over, which is potentially fatal if the opponent is submerged in it.
Generally, the whip is about 20 ft. long, and shortens as he expends the whip (as in, when he's using it as a whip it is longer than when he's using the orb and spear).
N/A at the moment, as he has yet to achieve it, but he CAN manifest his zanpakuto.Bankai Abilities:

History/Background:
As a child, Takatsui was left guarding his younger siblings. During a particualrly nasty fight in their homeland of the Zaraki division of Soul Society, all of Takatsui's siblings were either killed or captured. The trauma and stress experienced from this caused him to lose most of the memory he had of the time and (combined with the bad memory of early childhood), now he has little to no memory of anyone he was related to. In order to fulfill a promise he made to them before the battle, Takatsui enrolled in the Shinigami Academy in order to better prepare himself to protect them when he found them. Of course, he still doesn't even remember their names or faces, even to this day, but is still in continual search of them, abusing every ounce of his authority to do it.RP Sample:
Takatsui sat on his favorite hill, his signature red hair blowing lightly in the wind. He stretched with a yawn, leaning on his zanpakuto. The umbrella on it grew with his pulsating spiritual pressure, reaching a size easily able to shield him from the sun's bright rays.
The morning was young, and so was peace. How long had it been since Seireitei had been in chaos? 100 years? 50, maybe? It didn't matter at the moment, anyway. It was times like this Takatsui enjoyed, times where it was just him on his hill in the early morning light.
He reached down and snapped a can off a six-pack hanging on his belt. The ingredients said it was a mixture of sake and some human world substance called soda. Whatever it was, it tasted good, and Takatsui downed two cans in four gulps. Afterwards, he tossed them down the hill, rolling who knows where.
"Thats bad, ya know." A voice said. Takatsui would have usually jumped up in a defensive position, or at leat jolted a little, but he knew this one, and knew it well.
Not long after the voice came the body. Had Takatsui not known who exactly it was, he would have easily mistaken it was a curious bird.
"Hello Seirei. Rebellious are we today? Coming out without my permission?" Takatsui joked at the small blue bird that was sitting on top of his umbrella, its head poking down to look at him.
"Since when did I need your permission to come out?" Seirei chirped, fluttering down to settle on Takatsui's shoulder.
"Beautiful sun." Seirei said. "A lot better than that void around that cage you keep me in up there in that twisted mind of yours."
Takatsui had to laugh at that. He'd been in his mind, and knew better than anyone (maybe not Seirei) how twisted and weird it was. After spending some time in there, it would be nice to see the sun.
