Shinigami - Takara - [B-2]

[Arja]

Name: Takara Oshiro
Age: 143 (appears 25)
Gender: Female
Personality:

Though she appears shy, Takara generally only opens up around close friends and family. In addition to this, she can also come across as stuck up or snobby from time to time. Takara uses distance to those she is unfamiliar with to keep from being hurt. After the walls are broken down, she is a kindhearted and pleasant girl.

She is a hard worker and does have trouble saying no when asked to take on a new task. Takara has a weakness for Pocky and will use any excuse she can to go to the real world enjoy this delicious treat. She is also a fan of sake and takoyaki.

Appearance:

Takara is above average height standing at 5'7" and weighs 115lbs. Her body is kept fit from regularly working out and running. She has blue eyes and waist length brown hair that's usually decorated with various coloured combs.

When on duty, the Shinigami dresses in a standard uniform with her zanpakuto carried on her left hip. For casual clothes, Takara prefers styles and materials that show off her form yet aren’t too tight. She is somewhat vain and becomes highly irritable if she breaks a nail.

Zanpakuto Spirit:

The spirit of Takara’s Zanpakuto, Hanoni, appears to be half satyr and elf. Despite the result of the demon’s influence on his body, Hanoni has a handsome face and muscular physique; his glowing green eyes are always covered with an amber coloured scarf that’s tied in a knot at the back of his head. His lavender skin has an intricate display of green tribal tattoos; long midnight blue hair is usually pulled back into a top-tail. True to the demon form, he has cloven hooves and clawed hands. He also possess a pair of large horns that sprout from his forehead as well as wings from his back.

Hanoni’s personality often clashes with Takara’s. The logical and calculating part of the Shinigami’s being, he is mostly calm and collected but has an extremely short and violent temper. Possessing a strong hatred for Hollows, Hanoni uses his influence over Takara to satisfy his desire in killing as many corrupt spirits as possible.

Sealed Zanpakuto:

In its sealed state, Hanoni has a standard katana appearance and size with a green and black hilt.

Shikai Description:

When released, Takara’a zanpakuto splits into twin warglaives that are joined together along the base of the blades to the tips as well as at the handgrips. Each crescent shaped blade is 3.5 feet from tip to tip and have a green glow due to being kidou charged. The release phrase is “Rage Like the Maelstrom, Hanoni.”

Shikai Abilities:

Hanasu ken Nabikasu (Divide and Conquer): The blades separate from each other allowing Takara to attack an opponent with a glaive in each hand. While this attack is stronger and faster than when they’re joined, it uses a great deal of reiatsu to break and keep the glaives apart. As her energy drains quickly from this, Takara is only able to use this ability for an hour or less depending on the fight.

Combined: Hellfire - Holding the Warglaives above her head, Takara can channel reiatsu down to her feet and create a rolling wave of fire. The fire continues indefinitely outward until the attack is halted. However, the attack itself damages the caster, causing her to lose more and more reiatsu, suffer burns, and eventually die to her own power.

Combined: Chouseki Hadou - By spinning the reiatsu infused glaives above her head, she can collect reiatsu along the blades, amplifying her attacks.

Combined: Reiatsu Chain - Using a chain made of reiatsu, she can throw the Glaives like a ranged saw, and call them back to her. The chains burn to the touch.

Separated: Demons Flame - By throwing one of the separate glaives at a target, it explodes in a violent burst of reiatsu upon contact. The Glaive must be manually recovered after thrown.

Separated: Fel Fire - By slicing the Glaives through the air, she can launch crescents of green reiatsu at the target. The reiatsu burns whatever it touches.

History/Background:

Growing up in the 65th district of Rukongai, Takara is familiar with how the squalor affects people’s lives. Though she wasn’t brought up in the worst areas, she considers herself lucky and thankful for what she has.

After she began to show the telltale signs of potential for becoming a Shinigami, Takara enrolled in the Spiritual Arts Academy. During the six-year course, she became quite adept with kidou; while she struggled with hakuda. Her grades overall were above average and could have been better but she found studying to be dull and would often lose focus on what she was cramming.

Shortly before graduating from the Academy, she joined the 5th Squad. Takara is a hard working member of the unit and routinely offers to help with new assignments. She has also joined the Shinigami Women’s Association as well as Calligraphy Club. She continues to learn what she can from Hanoni and hopes someday to learn his Bankai.

RP Sample:

Opening her eyes, Takara took in the view of her inner world. The demonic energy erupting from the ground brightened the night sky with a bilious green flame. She often wondered how it was that this would be the inside of her soul. Pushing a lock of hair from her face, Takara tucked it behind her ear. She had been waiting for what seemed like days for an answer when, in fact, it had only been minutes.

“You are not prepared.” Hanoni’s deep voice finally rumbled. Though his green orbs were hidden behind the amber cloth, Takara could feel his piercing gaze locked upon her.

He was right. She wasn’t ready for what she had asked of him. It was actually annoying how he seemed to be right all the time. Takara had finally mustered the nerve to ask her zanpakuto to teach her his Bankai. She was still learning to master the shikai; it was simply too soon.

“Meh! You never let me have any fun!” The shorter girl stuck out her tongue at the half demon before her.
