Kyra Rounin OC

[Shinigami Kyra]

Name: Kyra Rounin
Age: 90
Gender: Female
Personality:

Despite graduating the academy near the top of her class, her personality does not reflect her skills. Though she does spend a lot of time training, she keeps the appearance that she is far more lazy than she truly is. She slacks off quite frequently, and is often found dozing in the fields somewhere. Her attention lacks focus, which explains why her training in Kido hasn't progressed much since her transfer to the 5th Division.

Kyra is very sarcastic and quite witty with her words. She had a sharp tongue and insults just about everyone, regardless of rank. She has only a very select few that she will ever call by their proper honorifics, and often comes up with nicknames for those of whom she cannot remember the names. She also has quite a vulgar vocabulary, and doesn't seem to make it look like she knows her place.

She respects her lieutenant and has come to find even more respect after their Captain's betrayal. Kyra finds Momo to be one of her closest friends, despite not knowing her as well as those she knew in the academy. Because of her sudden emotional state, Kyra feels the need to protect Momo, as well as her squad, having not only lost their Captain, but a part of their lieutenant as well.

Appearance:

Kyra is a rather short girl, standing at roughly 140cm (4'8"). She has long straight hair, a brilliance of crimson red mane. Her eyes are a similar shade of crimson scarlet, and her skin complexion is a butter-cream peach.

Kyra does not wear the 'standard' Shinigami uniform, but instead, wears a slightly altered version, designed by herself, of course. She holds no sleeves, and her Zanpakuto sheath rests at her lower back, extending the hilt to her right side.

Hollow Mask:

Kyra's hollow mask is very similar to Ichigo's own. The minor differences are slim; the red being replaced with blue, matching the color of her swords. Her eyes do not hold a yellow tint, but instead, hold her original crimson. Her pupils become non-existent.

Hollow Powers:

Berserker: Hollow Kyra fights like a berserker and is shown to be sadistic, she is also capable of ignoring any injuries Kyra has sustained up to the point of Kyra taking possession of the body, with considerably increased speed and strength.

Telekinesis: Kyra's inner hollow is able to use her swords without even wielding them within her grasp. The duel blades twirl around her body, and with or even without a wave of her arm, can summon one of them to attack physically, or use her sword's kido-based attack. Similar to Byakuya's Senbonzakura, Kyra is able to use her hands to increase the strength of her sword's kido attacks. Kyra herself gains this ability when she learns to control her Vizard form.

Hair: Kyra's hair becomes incredibly strengthened and a weapon all in its own! Thick strands can sharpen to the point where they become Kyra's most used weapon. They can also extend in length, and due to the strength, can even be used to project Kyra's own body, similar to how a spider does.

Inner Hollow:

Unlike Kyra, her Inner Hollow is very hyper. She enjoys a good fight (doesn't every inner hollow?), and seems very seductive. In fact, during their first encounter, Kyra's inner hollow attempted to seduce Kyra herself! She's quite the masochist, and gender really isn't a problem with her. Boys, girls, hollow; she loves'em all. She constantly compares fighting to sex, as though the two were one in the same, and often expresses 'moans of pleasure,' when facing a powerful opponent. Someone who forces her to reach beyond the limit of her powers is simply orgasmic in her mind.

Kyra's inner hollow, whom she has now dubbed 'Lust,' acts just as her name suggests. Her appearance is a mirror version of Kyra, albeit a bit more mature in some areas. She has long flowing crimson hair, and yellow eyes. She's about a foot taller than Kyra herself, with most of the length going to those legs of hers. She wears what appears to be metallic armor, but only over her arms and hands, and in areas that are normally supposed to be covered.

Zampakuto's name:

Kagutsuchi (カグツチ)

Zampakuto Spirit:

Kagutsuchi (カグツチ)

Fire-based Zanpakuto.

Kagutsuchi is a very small, winged dragon, who often appears on her shoulder when the two speak to one another while Kyra is in a meditative state. Her skin is a dark, crimson red, similar to Kyra's hair color, but her eyes are a deep shade of azure blue. She always appears to be smoking from a tobacco pipe, and when she exhales deeply, her breath can be seen as a soft, dark blue cloud of smoke.

(Note: Kagu-tsuchi or Kagutsuchi (カグツチ), also called Kagutsuchi no kami (迦具土の神), Hinokagutsuchi (火之迦具土), or Ho musuhi (火産霊), is the kami (神 "god; deity") of fire in Japanese mythology.)

Un-released Zampakuto's Appearance:

As one of the very few, Kyra holds two Zanpakuto swords that are one in the same in spirit. While sealed, they are the standard katana blade, with an oval guard, and blue cloth-wrapped hilt. She holds two sheaths, both of which open at the right side of her body, hung from a dark ruby-red strap that hangs from her opposing shoulder. One hilt hangs at about 45 degrees, while the other is held at a horizontal level.

(minus the dagger)

Shikai Release phrase::

"Burn Blue, Kagutsuchi . (Yakedo-ao, Kagutsuchi )"

Shikai Appearance::

In the released state, her swords become a dark, cobalt color, similar to how Rukia's blade becomes all white. The guard is removed, though there seems to be no other visual difference aside from the color. It does, however, increase greatly in temperature, making it difficult for others to grasp if she were to drop one or both of her blades. It holds a dark blue, flame-like aura when first released and when conducting various kido-based attacks.

Shikai Abilities::

Though most of her attacks are Fire-based, as well as the name itself, Kyra's Zanpakuto is Kido-based Zanpakuto. Also, any flame-based Kido techniques used through the sword become blue flames instead of red. Most of her attacks are simply variations of Hadō (破道, "way of destruction") spells.

*Konpeki Shakkahō (Shot of Azure Fire) - A modified version of Hadō 31; Shakkahō, which fires a ball of red energy at a target. However, instead of red, the energy is blue, and is usually produced with a swing of her blade. The spell becomes stronger if Kyra recites the entire incantation.

**Konpeki Kouen Maru (Azure Flame Circle) - With a swing of her swords and a spin of her body, Kyra is able to blast a wave of blue flames in a three-hundred and sixty degree angle. This is normally used as a defensive maneuver when surrounded. Can be used as a shield of sorts to defend against some attacks.

Bankai Description:

Konpeki-hi Kagutsuchi
(Azure Flame Kagutsuchi)

Fire engulf's Kyra's body, not harmful to her, within about a meter radius all around. When the flames disperse, her two swords hold a fiery aura, and each swinging attack is encased in a small fiery burst.

*When Kyra is able to control her Inner Hollow and obtains her Hollow Mask, she gains Telekinesis over her blades; ability explained in Inner Hollow Powers.

Bankai Abilities:

Kouenno Sōkatsui (Azure Blue Flame, Crash Down). Fires a burst of blue spiritual energy at a target in a similar manner to Hadō 31, but over a wider area and with more power.

Sōren Kouenno Sōkatsui (Twin Lotus Azure Fire, Crash Down) Basically, a double-blast of the normal Kouenno Sōkatsui. Both swords firing the blast, combining together into a far larger blast

History/Background:

Kyra was born in the Hokutan, the third District of Rukongai, part of West Rukongai. She initially had no real ambition in becoming a Shinigami, though it was due to her spiritual pressure and simple curiosity of that alone that deterred her path to the Shinigami Academy.

Upon entering, Kyra developed a high ability to perform Kido. She excelled in it greatly. By her words, it took a different 'form of focus' that most other tasks required, one that seemed 'interesting' enough for her to actually try. Despite her outer appearance of slacking off and never seeming to study or practice, she was high above her classmates, and only kept up the appearance of a slacker to not draw attention to herself. Quite frankly, she didn't want to become one of those people who looked down on others because they thought they were good at what they did.

Eventually, Kyra graduated the Academy and was placed under the 5th Division, under Captain Aizen and Lieutenant Momo. Despite not getting along with many others in her squad, due to her dry and rather vulgar humor, she found a kindred spirit in her Lieutenant, whom she later found out also excelled greatly in the art of Kido. Aside from those she had been blindly forced into calling, Momo was the first person she ever respectively referred to by proper honorifics.

Despite the daily activities of a normal, unseated Shinigami, Kyra had little action during the invasion of Ryoka, and the sudden corruption within the Captain's Squads. Upon the desertion of her Captain, Kyra became a seated Shinigami, and advanced to 12th seat. As Momo attempts to recuperate from the mental struggle of Aizen's betrayal, Kyra does her best to at least motivate the squad, though does little due to her inability to keep focused, as well as overall her lazy appearance that she feels she must keep up.

It was during a mission to the real world that Kyra stumbled into one of her greatest mental challenges. It was supposed to be a standard, over-watching mission; look over a city that held great spiritual pressure, for it attracted more hollows than normal. It was a city within America that Kyra had watched over, near the north east coast. There had been a strange rise in spiritual pressure, thus an investigation was suggested. It wasn't high on the list, so the mission was given to the twelfth seat, Kyra.

She didn't see it coming... hell, she didn't even know what 'it' was. The only thing she remembered was sitting atop a water tower, watching over the town, after defeating a few minor hollow. Her indicator located a few more, and she recalled heading in that direction. Then... a strange sense of spiritual pressure... then, nothing; complete darkness.

She remembered waking up in a strange place; an endless field of green grass. It was here that she came across her first encounter with her inner hollow, though at the time, she was uncertain of exactly who or what she was. Kyra had been greatly injured, though from what, she was uncertain. The long black haired, taller version of her stood over her, licking her lips, and asking if she desired to live.

To this day, Kyra didn't remember if she ever answered the girl. Most likely, she had replied yes. When she finally came to, she was back in Soul Society, in the medical wing of Squad 4. She couldn't remember anything of what had actually happened, but reports had stated that she was found near death... and appeared that one of her injuries had been treated. No one was able to explain to her what caused the attack, nor who was behind it. Still, with Aizen's research of Hollowfication, Kyra suspects that she may have been encountered by an Arrancar, perhaps attacked from behind, unable to see it coming. In her report, however, she did not mention anything of her strangely acquired abilities, nor has she expressed her troubles to any of the other Shinigami. She fears that this dark power, that seems so similar to a Hollow's, would get her exiled from the Soul Society.

RP Sample:

Quick, short pants; her lungs were barely able to obtain the oxygen level necessary to process proper thought. She was physically and mentally drained. Beads of sweat glistened off her butter-cream skin, the exhausting pants leaving a small smoke effect due to the harsh cold winter night. She was upon her knees, hands holding her up, attempting to regain the energy it took to stand. Her left hand remained pressed against the ice-cold concrete street, the other attempting to grip her sword's hilt, despite the two broken fingers. Her other blade laid stuck in the concrete nearly forty meters from her. Her hair was sprawled out in all directions, some sticking to her face due to her sweat. Those weak eyes trailed upward to the grinning, completely unharmed Arrancar, who stood upon a ground-less plain, simply waiting for the Shinigami to return to the fight.

She couldn't find it... the energy to stand. The more she tried to push, the more she felt her eyes forcing to close. So, she knelt there, fighting against unconsciousness, while the whites in her eyes began to cloud over a dark ebony hue. There was something shouted by the Arrancar from high above, but Kyra couldn't quite make it out. Everything seemed... as though she were falling. Not in a literal sense, but in a spiritual sense. She felt as though she were being pulled away somewhere... as though she were having an out-of-body experience. Everything seemed to slow down all around her... until...

The Arrancar let out a shout as he came crashing downward, fist cocked back to finish the job he had started. With a powerful swing, he aimed to completely shatter the Shinigami's skull with a single blow!

The impact was so greatly dealt that the spiritual explosion seemed like a bomb had just gone off. The pavement dented inward, and smoke arose from the broken street. When it cleared, the Arrancar's fist had been caught in a far smaller hand. Half risen to a single knee, Kyra's injured hand, two fingers still broken, and now, barely able to grasp onto the fist. Still, it seemed as though the crimson haired girl barely noticed, and her grip upon the Arrancar's fist grew exponentially.

"Did you think I'd just roll over and die?"

Kyra's voice was doubled over slightly; mixed with what seemed like, almost a possessed demonic tone. Her head tilted upward, the whites in her eyes now completely gone, faded over by a black hue. Upon her face, it seemed a skull-like mask was attempting to materialize itself, covering just about half of her face.

The Arrancar attempted to yank his arm back, but the grip seemed oddly too strong. Kyra grinned wickedly as she began to lick her lips.

"Now now... I can't have my dance partner running off just yet..."

With a powerful snap, the possessed Kyra hurled the Arrancar over her shoulder, hurling him towards... and straight through an office building. With the mask slowly materializing over her entire face, a swing of her hand, brought her other sword into her grasp.

"Konpeki Shakkahō!"

With the blades crossed over her chest, her dual Zanpakuto launched a fiery ball of blue spiritual energy toward the hole of the office building, promptly leveling it completely, and burying the Arrancar.
