The spirit overall is very harsh and strict, at times it can even be blood thirsty and need to see blood and Jube's enemies fall over as there lifeless corpses hit the floor with that familiar thud of a dead bodies weight. Very sadistic and cruel spirit is what he is. Jube refers to him as simply Tsurugi.
Inner Sanctum:[/u]
-The place were Jube is transported to when he meets with his zanpakto spirit, is a very sad and gloomy place. It is a destroyed castle barely standing and mostly ruble all over the place, the castle has only the great halls left to give a glimpse to a time when it was a glorious castle, in thos great hall there is suits of armor laying on the floor with a variety of damage done to them, for this are not decorations but the fallen guard of Tsurugi his elite who have been slain. In his hall, Tsurugi sits on his throne, a golden throne with red cushion pillows on it, to hist left a great shield with an Ox's head on it, to his right a halbred with a sentence engraved on the blade in Latin. In this throne room the fallen king Tsurugi sits, outside of the castle walls lay the corpses of dead soldiers from the opposing army and Tsurugi's army. Jube doesn't hate this place, but when he comes here he always remembers how fresh the smell of rotting corpses is, this is where Jube meets with his zanpakto spirit.

Age: 230(Looks 19)
Gender: Male
Personality:
-Jube is a very serious and straight forward person he will always tell you the truth, although some believe it is best to tell a small lie then the ugly truth, well Jube will tell you the ugly truth rather then lie. He is a quiet person, and only speaks under two circumstances when spoken to he will answer out of respect or when he sees it is absolutely necessary he needs to speak. He is a strict person and will enforce his policies and rules if you break this rules then you will have him to answer to. He is a person who has a very strict code of Honor, he believes in honor and justice and believes that those who have no honor have no right to hold a sword or even look at one. If you go against justice he will personally cut you down and end your life, to him the only way to punish those who go against justice is by killing them. But Jube is also extremely loyal, to the Gotei and to his fellow shinigami, he will stand by them to the end, he will never let a comrade fight against impossible odds alone you can bet he will stand by you until the very end.Appearance:
Some of his flaws are that he is to much of an extremist, his loyalty to the Goeti goes beyond the ordinary, he will go above and beyond for the Gotei and for what it stands for. Jube has a strong hatred towards the Arrancar, specially the ones who are members of the Espada he believes that they are those without honor they are abominations of Hueco Mundo who polute the world with there existance. Same goes for the Vaizards, which he has strong hatred for because not only are they part hollow but they are also shinigami who turned there back on the Gotei and became deserters. Jube generally will hold back against an enemy that is below him, but if he comes across an Arrancar or Vaizard it wont matter if Jube is ten times stronger and can beat him without shikai he will use it so as to completely anihalate them. Jube takes his job very seriously, and will not have anyone joking around or messing around while on a mission he will set them straight, if your there to do a job then do it and stop messing around otherwise feel the cold steel of Jube's sword. Overall Jube can be called a Loyal and good soldier, but also an extremist who needs to learn when he has gone to far.

[/blockquote]Sealed Zanpakuto:
-Jube's zanpakto in its sealed state doesn't look like the regular katana look it has more of a European look to it. The blade is single edged and has a silver hand guard that comes right out of the divider. The handle of the sword is for one handed use only, it is metallic blue wrapped in a white strap of cloth, with a strand that hangs out of the end of it and loosely moves in the wind. The blade itself is twenty-seven inches long it is a straiht blade with a slight curve sharpened tip for thrusting, the blade is single edged. The shieth of the sword is wide enough for the blade to fit nicely and makes a clicking sound everytime the sword goes in, the shieth is made of hard wood reinforced with lead to make it somewhat solid and more resistant then traditional wooden shieths. It can also be used as a blunt weapon, similar to a baseball bat or a stick.Shikai Description:
Shikai Release phrase:Break Kongouseki-TsurugiShikai Abilities:
Shikai Appearance:
-When he releases his swords shikai, the first thing that happens after he says the release phrase. Is his blade cracks it begins to crack in several places then the blade falls apart and reiatsu begins to swirl around the empty were the blade was. The reiatsu then take the shape of a new blade and engulfs the entire zanpakto, when the reiatsu disperse into shards that fade away, Jube holds in his hands a totally new sword. The swords has now become more katana like, it has a long handle for two handed wielding, the blade itself though is now made of pure diamond the blade is a beautiful sight indeed, but it is also deadly. The divider of the zanpakto is a round metallic divider, the handle is now all dark blue with white lines wrapping around it in ackward patterns. The blade looks more katana like, and is a light purple/transparent color.
Blade Manipulation:He can manipulate his diamond blade he can make it extend or shorten, he can turn it from a nicely curved Katana blade to a spiked covered sword. He is able to create diamond shields reinforced by reiatsu with it that can be used to defend against reiatsu based moves or a barrage of physical moves. He can make it double edged if he pleases as well. He can also throw a chunk of his blade at you and the diamond sword will regenerate itself. His blade cannot extend farther then 25 feet and cannot be detached from the handle while extending.Bankai Description:
Anihalation:Kongouseki-Danmaku:The blade of his sword is covered in spikes, he then swings his sword releasing the spikes in a row of diamond spikes each being about three inches long each.
Anihalation:Shitoyata-Kongouseki:He raises his sword and using its ability to expand it expands upwards, the sword then begins to wrap around itself like a serpent and spin rapidly as multiple spikes are shot in all directions wildly. As if heaven is raining down with diamonds.
-In order to unleash his bankai he must first call out the phrase "Rise again fallen Kingdom...Bankai" afterwards his sword will shatter completely. His zanpakto will float around him as reiatsu spheres, then they will all shoot into his body. The ground will break apart as spikes of diamonds rise up from the cracks this daimonds creatre a wall around Jube and the enemy, the wall then is turned into a close dome. The diamond walls are flat but extremely solid and hard to break with physical attacks, this room is reinforced by reiatsu, and is an area of it is damaged some of Jube's reiatsu is taken to regenerate it. In here Jube has control over the landscape, because even the floor he and the enemy step on is covered in diamond. Jube in his bankai though holds his regular zanpakto, it has no abilities because it is his hands that are used to manipulate the dome. This can essentially be thought of as an arena were Jube makes the rules.[/u]Due to the reiatsu required for this Bankai not only is it rarely used, but it has a five turn limit. Once I have posted five times the bankai is diminished, and Jube must revert.
NOTE:
[/blockquote]Bankai Abilities:
Manipulation:Jube can manipulate this room, he can change the landscape only within this area though, he is able to make spikes grow out or use the diamond covered ground itself. Of course every time he does reiatsu is used and he wont do anything like bring the cieling down on him and his enemy because he is trapped in there with them. But Jube can manipulate it to be defensive and offensive.Skill Level: Kidou: Intermediate
Instant Travel:He is able to travel using the ground or wall, by melting into it and flowing with it he can covere farther distance and rise up in an unexpecting place to attack the enemy.

History/Background:
Jube was born in Rukongai, he was born into a wealthy family known as the Igami clan there had been a few shinigami in the family but none were very successfull some died on here first missions others didn't make very high in the rankings of the Gotei. Essentially Jube was brought up with no thoughts of becoming a shinigami, he would remember his parents always talking about how he would grow up to be a nobleman who would take on the family name but this is not what Jube wanted. He wanted to become a shinigami he knew he had somehting that the other didn't something that they didn't have what they lacked he had obtained. Jube really believed in the Gotei and he admired the shinigami who stood for justice and honor. Jube decided that he would learn swordsmanship and so he did from his grandfather he took swordsmanship lessons. His grandfather taught the boy well so much that he became well aware of the boys special gift. His grandfather would be the one that would not only persuade but as head of the household demand that the boy be put into the Shinigami academy to become a member of the Gotei 13. Jube's parents asked him to see if this is what he really wanted and of course Jube said yes, he wanted to become a shinigami so badly this was back when Jube was innocent not as cold as he would soon become.RP Sample:
Jube was enlisted in the shinigami academy at the proper age, he already knew swordsmanship and had even developed his own personalized style which he named the "Igami Style". In the academy Jube would show great promise he didn't have many friends because he was always focused on his work and never really focused on anything else, he didn't do some of the ridiculous things thats the other students did such as goof around no Jube stuck to his books and his training. Although he was not perfect, he had flaws for example his Kidou arts were not all that great he was considered intermidiate at most not very high but Jube was satisfied because he wanted to shine in the areas he was good at which was swordsmanship and the art of using Shunpou. Jube would graduate the academy with great recomendations from his isntructors. Once in the Gotei Jubei, still has not joined a squad per say he is looking into some of the squadrons but doesn't know which to join exactly. Until he was automatically enlisted into squad 3 as there fourth seat, Jube's jaw dropped when he was thrown into a random squad he knew about it he had studied all of the squads but he wanted to make the decision himself not have the higher ups do. Well there was nothing he could do now, Jube would go on some routine missions now and then patrol and everything. During this time Jube met another shinigami named Aria she and Jube became friends at first but later became very close, Aria's brother also was Jube's only friend in the Academy Ketsu. All of them were in the same squad, and all worked together on the missions they were given.
But on this next mission Jube's life would change forever, this was a routine mission they were to go out and split amongst the four corners of a city and patrol it from any wandering hollows and take care of the problem. It was Jube, Ketsu Aria and another fellow shinigami, the night was going all according to plan no sign of any hollows no troubles. Until Jube felt a sudden and powerful reiatsu, his eyes widened as he turned in the direction of the reiatsu it was coming from the area were Aria was statione Jube quickly rushed towards the area. When he arrived, he was shocked at what he saw, the being stood just outside of a crater surely created by him, holding the lifeless body of Ketsu in his hand and on the floor lay Aria. Jube stood there in complete shock as he saw the being toss Ketsu's body to the side as if he was a piece of garbage. The being raised his hand aiming it at Jube as he began to gather a sphere of red reiatsu. Jube drew his sword and prepared himself, the being merely chuckled as he saw Jube draw his zanpakto but as quickly stopped by a sudden blast of reiatsu it was the other shinigami assigned to patrol he had gotten a clean hit on the figure but it was no use when the cloud of smoke cleared there was no body. Jube looked and saw the figure floating behind the shinigami before he could warn him the man was cut in half, Jube charged the shinigami full of rage and anger he swung his zanpakto missed and was easily kicked aside by the being Jube crashed into the ground creating a crater as ruble buried him. The beind had sensed Jube's anger so he decided to tease the barely living Jube by picking kicking Aria and Ketsu's bodies while laughing as if it was a fun game of soccer. Jube lay under hte ruble his head sticking out as he watched with a single eye opened covered in blood and scratches, he then notices his zanpakto it began to pulse as if calling out to Jube, he reached for it gripping the handle as his eyes were soon engulfed by reiatsu and so was his body the reiatsu looked like a roaring wild fire as Jube rose up to his feet. The sudden burst in power caught the beings attention, he looked over his shoulder to see Jube hold out his zanpakto and point it at him Jube uttered a single name "Kongouseki-Tsurugi" then a burst of reiatsu was released as Jube's zanpakto changed into the diamond sword, Jube stood with his newly found power as he rushed at the being. Letting out a proud battle cry Jube swung down his blade charged by reiatsu but in the blink of an eye it was over Jube had been cut a serious wound opened up on his left shoulder a deep gash blood splattered everywhere as Jube fell to his knees and his zanpakto reverted. His were went white as his vision blurred and he fell forward.
Jube awoke in what seemed to him like a couple of hours in a bed he was in the headquarters of squad 4, he was bandaged up he sat up confused and sweaty. Seating in front of him was another shinigami, the man rose up holding a clip board and asked Jube several questions about the incident, but when Jube asked about what had happened, the man told him that he had been found unconcious lying on the floor amongst three dead shinigami. Another scout had picked up the massive reaitsu signal in the area and called for backup unfortunately it had arrived to late, Jube closed his eyes as he let out a sigh and tears rolled down his face, he knew that his friend and his love were dead. Jube spent the next three months out of action recovering, he spent this time reading books and thinking reflecting on how little he had accomplished. Jube set a new goal for himself no longer would he waste his time with emotions now his only goal was to become stronger and to become a captain ranked shinigami. Of course the first step for this would be to go through bankai training, and achieve bankai itself, what better way then to ask your zanpakto itself the only way to achieve bankai was to defeat his zanpaktou spirit in one on one battle. Jube didn't care although his zanpakto informed him that of they rushed things, Jube would have little time to attemptd and achieve bankai and that he would not hold back and try his best to kill Jube. Jube agreed to this and thus his training began, well more like the vicious battle between him and his spirit, the battle lasted one day. During this one day Jube recieved various scars and got a beating from his spirit, it was no easy task to obtain bankai but he had done it not it was about mastering his bankai and well he hasn't gotten around to that hence his bankai is limited by a time limit once that limit is reached he msut revert or risk over stressing his body and possibly dying from the strain. Jube currently is in squad 3 as there 4th seat but is waiting for his chance to become a captain, maybe it will come soon or it may take years, who knows he sure doesn't.
Jube's Regular Day
Jube placed his foot gently on the bed of grass below his feet he looked around to see the wonderful landscape of this area "So this are the great plains, of Mt.Jyakushin" he said talking to himself as he walked forward followed by two other squad members. Jube's eyes were alert and scanning the area for anything out of the ordinary, his long cloak danced with the gust of wind as he came to a complete hault "It's here...." he said reaching for the handle of his zanpaktou using his left thumb to push it out slightly, the two shinigami behind him drew there zanpaktou's out and got into fighting stances. Jube looked around quietly, he slid his foot forward breaking through the wall of tall grass in front of him. Then all of a sudden a loud roar was heard as a beast jumped up in front of them Jube kicked back away from the beast drawing his zanpaktou as he blocked the beast massive claw he was pushed back farther then he expected. Jube's feets dragged on the ground as he attempted to stop himself.
The other two shinigami were quick to action they rushed the beast "No you fools!" Jube yelled out already having come to a complete stop. But it was to late the idiots had rushed in, the beast swung its claw hitting the shinigami and knocking them aside luckily it had used the back side of its hand knocking them into a tree only. Jube stared at the creature and got into a low side step stand, his eyes were locked with that of the hollow 'Adjuchas?' he thought in his head as the animal like hollow charged him, Jube waited patiently then as the beast swung and at the last possible moment he used shunpou. Jube appeared to the hollow's left side it was exposed on that side, it had swung stretching it's body, Jube thrusted his zanpaktou into the hollows side piercing its flesh the hollow let out a pain filled defeaning cry as Jube pulled his zanpaktou's blade out and stepped back watching the hollow stumble, the beast turned to Jube its eyes filled with anger. Jubei now raised his sword to his side standing in a different stance, he slid his lead foot forward waiting for the hollow to do something, the creature slowly circle around Jube. It stepped towards the right more and more, inch by inch, Jube followed it with his eyes as he quietly waited for it to make a move. 'Good things those two are knocked out, I am rather amused by this fight' Jube thought to himself quietly.
The hollow lunged at him, Jube moved forward, the attack was coming from the right, so Jube moving forward had avoided it, he turned in mid dash and backflipped landing at the same time the beast crashed into the ground. Sinking those claws of his into the ground, it looked up only to see Jube aiming his finger at it 'Hadou #4:White Lightning" was all Jube said as a bolt of reiatsu blasted from his fingers and pierced the hollows mask, completely going through and coming out the other side of its head. Jube watched as the hollows lifeless body fell back, a loud thud was heard as the hollows body slolwy faded away. Mission was a success, Jube walked over to the passed out shinigami as he shiethed his zanpaktou. He kicked them lightly, the two woke up they rose to there feet and looked around wondering were the hollow was, then looked at Jube who had given them his back and was heading back to the Senkai Gate to get back to the Gotei and report in that the mission had been a success.
