APPEARANCE:
Shin appears to be only in his twenties, and is lean with some muscles. His skin is fairly pale due to his nature to stay inside during the day. His hair is short, reaching to the top of his jawline and is very unkempt, usually covering his eyes from view. Shin wears a very different outfit than the standard Shinigami uniform. He wears a dark green undershirt, and black hakama to make up most of his attire. He wears the worn and tattered top part of his shihakusho on his left shoulder and it is attached to him by a large clip, covering most of his arm. He wears simple black boots for his footwear. This change in uniform has gained him some flak from his captain, unfortunately, but he is allowed to wear it as long as he does at least twice as much training as everyone else. Unfortunately, he likes the outfit, so he tends to do five-six hours of training daily. He has navy blue eyes and brown hair with a streak of green in the right side.

EXTRAS:

WEAPONS:
Advanced Knowledge of Poisons, Diseases and Cures: When Shin first learned his Shikai, he began to wonder about the diseases he could use, and about cures. So, he took to the books, and began to read about diseases, poisons, and cures. After a while he began to experiment in making some cures and poisons, which steadily increased his intelligence and expertise in this area. After years of studying, he holds a good knowledge on many types of illnesses, poisons and antidotes to help cure a person.
ZANPAKUTO:
name: Ekibyou (means "Plague" in Japanese)

sealed form: In it's sealed form, Ekibyou takes the form of a standard katana, with a dark green sheath and handle wrapping. The handguard is onyx colored, and looks like it's rotting, though in actuality it was designed to look as such. A black tsuba hangs off the end.

spirit: Ekibyou takes the form of a walking female corpse. Her skin has rotted greatly, making her appearance ghastly and disturbing, sometimes traumatizing to the people who have seen her besides Shin. A cloud of flies constantly move around her, nesting on certain parts of her body. Her eyes are empty sockets, revealing only darkness. Her clothes are extremely mouldy and rotten, and look like they once belonged to a head shrine priestess. She wears a long robe that covers some of her skeletal body, a headdress and rotting sandals. All of her clothing is faded and takes various shades of green and black. Every time she exhales a cloud of disease is eschewed out. Ekibyou has a very cold and sarcastic personality, and loves inflicting suffering. Although she really does care for Shin, and protects and guides him whenever she can.
inner world: Shinda's Inner World is a giant, rotting temple. Flies and insects nest in the crumbling wood and stone it's made of, and the temple houses various rooms, filled with old decrepit furniture and rotting remains of what used to be civilization. Ekibyou resides in the head shrine room, sitting in a chair of rotting wood.

SHIKAI:

release command: Infect (Utsusu)

description: In this form, Ekibyou takes on the appearance of a pole arm, similar to a naginata. The main body of the staff is no black wood, and severely rotten and gnarled. Holes into the wood can be found all along the staff, and mold grows on most of it. Near the top of the staff a large blade cuts through the middle of it, reaching up to about two and a half feet past the wood, and reaching down about halfway from the top of the staff and the middle. The blade looks like a slightly larger katana blade, and seems to be in poor condition. Rust eats away at some parts of it, and holes can be found through it Ekibyou allows Shin in this form to command and control disease. He can create disease and miasma by swinging it. The blade itself carries a variety of diseases on the edge, so whoever's cut are likely to become infected.

type: Disease

techniques:For: Shikai
Name: Buresu O Kurushimeru (Plague Breath)
Type: Offensive
Cost: Medium
Range: Medium
Description: Shin's standard ability. He gathers up a large amount of miasma into his staff, and then releases it by swinging, slashing, spinning, or stabbing with any part of Ekibyou towards the target, creating a wave blast of miasma. The miasma is poisonous and dangerous, but is fairly slow, making it easy to dodge. When it comes into contact with any target, that target begins to rot and putrify before dying from the disease if the object was alive and no treatment is given. Inanimate objects, besides zanpakuto, will begin to rot and crumble away as they are hit as well, unless reiatsu is applied. A person can stop this from happening by applying a large amount of reiatsu to the target area, or by spiking their reiatsu to nullify or at the very least slow the effects. Fire can completely neutralize the blast. The miasma can't track the target either, and wind can change the direction, so Shin has to manually hit the target. (ROT BEGINS AFTER 4 POSTS)

For: Shikai
Name: Shouki Kumo (Miasma Cloud)
Type: Defensive, Support
Cost: Little
Range: Short
Description: A more defensive ability of Shin's. By spinning his zanpakuto, Shin can create a cloud of miasma. This cloud is a dark green color, and bears different effects then rotting or killing the target. This cloud is filled with a crippling disease, and causes anyone to intake the miasma to be weakened and overtaken with sickness. The sickness will not kill the victim, and can be easily countered by spiking one's reiatsu or recieving medical treatment. The wind can blow the miasma in different directions, and fire destroys it completely. By spiking one's reiatsu within the cloud, if they have enough, that person can disperse the cloud easily.

BANKAI:

None

HISTORY:
Before Shin died, he was a small-time thief and crook, stealing what he could, when he could. He didn't live in the best places, with the nicest people or hung out with the greatest company, but he managed. He lived by himself, leaving his family when he was caught by the guards the first time for trying to steal a guitar. He ran away to rid his shame from his parents lives. He personally despised having to steal in order to live, but he knew that he couldn't survive without taking what he needed.
After a few years, Shin finally met his end at the hands of the guards during a large robbery with a friend of his. They had planned to steal a large amount of money from a wealthy merchant so they would never have to steal again. However, Shin's friend had accidentally alerted the guards, and in a moment of panic he double-crossed Shin and left him to be caught. Shin was promptly arrested and hung for all the crime's he had committed.
Shin's soul was found and purified by a Shinigami in the area, and he quickly began to forget everything of his human life. He lived in the Rukongai's 48th District for a while, stealing and fighting like he had done as a human. He had the feeling he had done this before, but ignored it, and grew dislike for theft and stealing again, but as before, it was a necessary evil.
After a while, Shin's neighbors began to grow suspicious of him, as he began to steal food. He just shrugged when they asked why, after all, shouldn't everyone be hungry? But when he tried to steal from a passing group of Shinigami, they realized that he had latent spiritual pressure. He was taken to the Sereitei, and moved into the Academy in order to be trained. While Shin didn't really like the teacher or all the training, he retained somewhat high marks in the classes, excelling best in classes associated with stealth and speed due to all the years of thieving. After graduating, he was put as an unranked member of Division 2, where he was taught the finer points of stealth and assassination He stayed an unranked member for years, until he began to hear a voice that wasn't there. His fellow team members were a
little confused when he told them, before a seated member told him he was hearing his zanpakuto. After that, he began to listen more to the voice, trying to establish a connection with his zanpakuto. With a little bit of guidance from the seated member, Shin managed to unlock his Shikai, and was moved to the thirteenth seat of Division Two after demonstrating his newly-acquired Shikai to his captain. From there, Shin moved up the ranks for years as he began to learn more and more about his zanpakuto, and began to refine the abilities he had under strict tutelage from his captain and superiors, until he was moved to fourth seat.
RP SAMPLE:
On top of Division Three within the Sereitei layed a lean man, holding a bottle of sake with a goofy, drunken grin across his features. His navy blue eyes scanned around as he waved his arm back and forth slowly. "La da da da de da dum~~" He hummed.
His other hand reached past his zanpakuto, a standard katana with a unique handguard, designed to look decrepit and rotting, and grabbed a sake cup. He carelessly poured himself another glass, spilling some of the clear liquid down his hand and on the roof. He drank the liquid as if it was the last left on the planet, letting out a satisfied gasp. He sets down the cup gingerly, and puts the sake bottle down next to it. With a yawn, he leans back, folding his arms behind his head just before it touches the roofing. The man closes his eyes, shaking his brown hair a little to block out the sunlight so he can get some shut-eye, and...
"SHIN! SHINDA CHINMOKU!!" A voice roars out. The man's eyes widen and he jumps, quickly scrambling around wildly, listening for the direction of the voice. Shin quickly began picking up the sake, the cup and his zanpakuto, diving for the edge of the roof. He slipped down, hitting the soft grass, and booked it for his quarters. He did not want to get caught by the Captain or Lieutenant, not on his day of relaxing.
