FACE CLAIM:
N/A
HEIGHT:
5ft 6in
WEIGHT:
128lbs
APPEARANCE:
Ichigo keeps her clothing no matter what hell it goes through. It's because of this that the hakama and haori she wore through the Academy. Torn to ribbons from countless attacks survived, her haori is mostly gone, with the exception of the sleeves, which are tightly bound to her arms. Her chest and belly are also tightly bound to reduce drag during a fight. This gives her the appearance of being not as well-endowed as she actually is. Her hakama, although torn up, is in much better condition then her haori. Her Captain's haori sits upon her shoulders, loosely concealing her otherwise exposed torso. Her hair reaches to the middle of her back, a black length that is always in a traditional ponytail. Her left eye is a bright baby blue, while her right is a dull gray, scarred over and stuck blind. She wears a tight cloth choker around her neck, her dead sister's name embroidered into it. She also has an errant Hollow mask on her person, very basic in it';s design, as a sort of badge over her left shoulder. An Innumerable amount of scars covers her body, a testament to the amount of battles she's been in.
BRIEF PERSONALITY
GENERAL INFO
Waiting for a sign to tell us why are we dancing all alone...
LIKES:
- Her Training Regimen
- Drinking
- (Secretly) Being Treated Like a Woman
DISLIKES:
- Most People in General
- Watered Down Liquors
- Overconfidence
NEGATIVE TRAITS:
- The bad side of her honor. If she makes a deal or a promise to anyone, no matter what it is, she will do it, regardless if it may kill her in the process.
- She is very stubborn and hard-headed, often forgoing her own safety to avoid saying that she lost.
- She does not trust a single being outside the Head Captain and the Captains that have earned it, along with her Squad Members.
POSITIVE TRAITS:
- To those she does trust, she is fiercely loyal and will fight to her death to protect them.
- The good side of her honor. No matter her orders, she will carry them out. Be it as simple as a delivery, or as heart-rending as a slaying.
- His distrust of others is not a paranoia. To anyone she comes across, she is unusually friendly, despite who she is,
EXTRAS:
Ichigo, because of the distrust caused by Jigoku, will often act cold to others. However, she will always remain civil and kind to others. She often tends to react quickly and without thinking in conversations, and will do her absolute best to make sure her true feelings remain hidden. That's a rare pleasure only those close to her get to see of her.
WEAPONRY/POWERS
TOOLS OF WAR
Collect some stars to shine for you...
WEAPONS:
Zanpakuto, Trench Knives, Kunai, Shuriken, Her Fists
ZANPAKUTO:
name: Kyomu (Nothingness)
sealed form: It is manifested in the shape of a void black katana. However, everything is black on it, every single detail. If one were to take a long, hard look to it, no discernible texture would leap out. Nothing, just as it's name is.
spirit: Kyomu is a woman wearing an opera mask and a long black dress that shimmers in the moonlight of Ichigo's Inner World. She had long black hair that is thigh-length, and her eyes are a dark red. However, attempting to discern a figure on the woman is nigh impossible, as her dress is lacking any sort of texture. It would appear as if you were looking into the night sky. No depth or dimension, only a shimmering black. She does not speak, but her and Ichigo can tell what the other is thinking just by the sight of each other.
inner world: Her Inner World is a small pavilion in the middle of a koi pond. Spell tags and paper lanterns adorn the area, and the waters a plentiful with beautiful fish. The area is made even more of a sight by being in an area of perpetual night. However, there is no movement there. The fish are frozen in place where they swim. The moon never moves or changes phases. The sparse cloud cover never budges. Her Inner World is a world devoid of the concept of time. It does not exist there. One could spend years there, and not a second would pass on the outside.
SHIKAI:
release command: Rend existence...
description: Her void black katana disappears, forming elbow-length gloves on her arms. The sclera of her eyes darkens to a black and an odd pitch black smoke rises from her gloves in thin wisps. This is due to the lack of control the ample amount of armor has over it. She loses her basic sight, but gains the ability to see reiatsu, seeing it all as base colors. This also helps her see the focal point and basic anatomy of attacks, allowing her to come up with ways to dismantle them.
type: Void, Physical
techniques: For: Shikai
Name: Jigen no Sakeme (Dimensional Rift)
Type: Defensive / Offensive
Cost: Mildly Taxing to Heavily Taxing
Range: Point Blank
Description: Ichigo can use the power of her Inner World to absorb a reiatsu-based attack. With a slash of one of her weapons, a rift opens up, engulfing the attack and freezing it in place in Ichigo's Inner World. Ichigo can also open another rift and fire the projectile back at her attacker, ideally. However, this secondary part costs her quite a bit of energy, depending on what was captured.
For: Shikai
Name: Void no Kūki (Air of the Void)
Type: Offensive / Defensive
Cost: Not Taxing
Range: Point Blank to Long Range
Description:As her Shikai activates, thin wisps of smoke rise from her gloves. This smoke is right from her Inner World, and is toxic to everyone outside it's element, as it devours oxygen. People without the ability to even see the dead would die in seconds, choked to death. However, for everyone else, it takes considerably more time. If the gloves remain unbroken for a long time during the battle, both Ichigo and her opponent would begin experiencing loss of oxygen. (+15 posts, enemies with safeguards against such abilities are immune, immediately dissipates upon activation of Bankai)
For: Shikai
Name: Ken o Hitei (Negating Fist)
Type: Defensive
Cost: Not Taxing
Range: Self
Description: Her gloves in her Shikai have the odd property of reiatsu repulsion, giving her the ability to hit anything made of reiatsu, regardless of what it is. This is active as long as her Shikai is active and her gloves remain unbroken. Depending on power of reiatsu projectile, it does damage to the gloves, eventually breaking them. A punch from these fists causes horrid burns. (10 Negates break them, each arm has own health)
For: Shikai
Name: Mapputatsu ni Sareteiru (Split Down the Middle)
Type: Offensive
Cost: Moderately Taxing
Range: Point Blank to Long Range
Description: Ichigo crouches down and slashes with her trench knives upwards, sending a void black blade at her target. If her target is a reiatsu attack, it is sheared in half. If her target is anything else, it hits like a normal blade swing, except that it burns. The longer one holds onto it to try and stop it, the more it burns into you. If the Reiryoku of her opponent is higher than hers, the blade will merely attempt to slice through the attack, usually resulting in both attacks cancelling.
BANKAI:
name: Jigoku no Kōsaten (Infernal Crossing)
description: The gloves grow up her arms and around her body, eventually forming a full suit of armor. Since the full suit is on, the smoke no longer rises from the armor, displaying it being under complete control. Her hair becomes as black as the voidish dress word by Kyomu, and shimmers as well in moonlight.
type: Void, Fire, Physical
stat upgrades: +2 Hakudo, +2 Hoho, +2 Hankou, +2 Reiryoku
techniques: For: Bankai
Name: Kyomu e no Tobira (Door to Nothingness)
Type: Defensive
Cost: Extremely Taxing
Range: Self, Point-Blank
Description: In emergencies, Ichigo can open a door to her Inner World at a whim, retreating into it physically. Where her opponent far enough away, they would merely see her vanish from sight completely, leaving a faint shimmer where she was for roughly 5 seconds. Of course, any within very short range or holding her are also pulled in, but the drag isn't very hard to resist. All it takes is the basest effort to resist the pull to enter the Void. Once inside, however, the only way out is for Ichigo to create a way out, or for her to be knocked unconscious. Once the latter happens, the same rift used to enter reappears, ejecting both parties where they last were. Not a second will have passed in the Outside.
For: Bankai
Name: Āmā o Hitei (Negating Armor)
Type: Defensive
Cost: Not Taxing
Range: Self
Description: Basically, the same as Negating Fist, except a suit of armor. Her belly, back, inner arms, inner legs, neck, and feet remain uncovered, and still would take regular damage from these attacks. Active as long as her Bankai is. Touching the armor results in horrid burns. (10 Negates results in a break, each piece has own health. Helmet, arms, legs, and chestplate)
For: Bankai
Name: Void no Shīru (Seal of the Void)
Type: Offensive
Cost: Moderately Taxing
Range: Point Blank to Long
Description: If the opponent has received burns as a result of Ichigo's Shikai or Bankai, the burns turn into black sealing marks upon the opponent's skin. The burns no longer afflict the opponent, but the marks will not come off as long as Ichigo is in her Bankai state. The marks take on the shape of a black flame marking.
For: Bankai
Name: Eimin no Ji (Final Resting Place)
Type: Offensive
Cost: Extremely Taxing
Range: Point Blank to Long Range
Description: This ability can only be used after Seal of the Void. Ichigo stands completely still and disarms, her sclera turning her entire eye black as the Void. Then, all of the seals erupt into flames of the darkest black and burning hotly. These flames cannot be put out. They are only removed once Ichigo herself moves, whether forced or not. The moment she blinks is the moment the flames rest. (Once per battle)
INNER HOLLOW:
name: Jigoku
appearance: Jigoku appears exactly like Ichigo, minus opposite colors. Jigoku's mouth is cut up to her ears, and she has her eyes sewn shut. As her mouth opens, the black smoke that suffocates others is expelled from her lips. She is entirely weightless, just as she appears, giving her the aura of not really being there. Her fingers are distorted to be incredibly long and thin, being no more than claws.
personality: Jigoku is very calm and collected, unlike most Hollow. However, she is also very vindictive and cruel, but in a nice way. This makes her incredibly creepy, if her appearance didn't already do that. She also despises happiness in any form, and is the main source of Ichigo's distrust. Despite having control over Jigoku, Ichigo cannot shake off this one little aspect of her.
hollow mask: The hollow mask is slate black with no defining features. The eyes are small white slits, and the mouth is the same, making for a rather eerie mask. It is perfectly ovular, able to cover the entirety of her face with ease. A small amount of smoke rises from the mask, showing Jigoku's influence over Ichigo.
stat upgrades: +2 Seijuu, +2 Bukijuu
OTHER
AND ALL THE REST
And start today, there are only a few...
HISTORY:
Ichigo has always been a sort of lonely girl, feeling unable to make conversation and be around others. When she was younger and growing up in the Rukongai, she would only ever smile in the presence of her sister. Anytime else, and her face would have a very dull, lifeless, slate expression on it. No one quit knew why this was, but anyone that tried to find out would find the girl quite unapproachable. Certainly, rumors floated around about the girl, some witnessing her sneaking away in the stealth of night. However, they were always quickly put to rest by her sister Shinku, always at the ready to disprove the floating rumors.
As it turned out, even from a young age, Ichigo stole one of her father's collected nameless zanpakuto and trained with it. However, due to the illegal way he obtained them, she made sure to train while it was dark and no one would readily follow her. Not only that, but she purposely spread the rumors herself using certain contacts within her network.
Then, one day her sister began to feel uneasy herself about the rumors flying about. She then resolved herself to follow Ichigo to where she had gone. As it turned out, Ichigo was viciously training against not dummies, but Hollow! Not only that, but she wasn't slaying them. She was more along the lines of beating the living hell out of them. Not only that, but she had a zanpakuto, and was shouting out 'Kyomu' with every swing of it. Shinku was confused, but she didn't say anything for a while, watching Ichigo fight off low-level Hollow with a dull blade.
After a while, Shinku called out to her sister, making Ichigo freeze in place. She only had half of a second to shout out to Shinku before several Hollow were upon her, threatening to tear the girl apart. Ichigo dashed to the Hollow, screaming out in fear for her sister. Then, as her sword disappears and her Shikai covers her arms, she begins to deliver devastating blows to the Hollow around, shattering them with her trained strength.
After a while, she tiredly limps over to Shinku, covered in wounds from the Hollow's attacks. Looking over her sister, her wounds were grievous, but she could still be saved. Lifting her, she sprinted off to the nearest place she knew... The Seiretei. Someone of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads would certain help her. She ran to the South Gate and stopped, lying Shinku down upon the ground and beating her fists upon the gate. For three entire days she stayed in front of the gate, screaming for help, crying out for anyone within the Seiretei to help her. The citizens of the Rukongai ignored her, looking upon the girl coldly. They didn't care from the loner girl who refused help so many times. Now that she actually wanted help, they weren't going to give it to her.
Shinku had died the first night they had arrived there, bleeding out upon the gate she was lying against. Ichigo, however, had spent three days battering the large gate with her fists, breaking the gloves upon the stone. By the third day, the gloves had broken, the blade laid at her side, and her fists her bloody, leaving prints upon the stone. Still, she knelt in front of the closed Gate, sobbing loudly as she cradled her sister, still crying out for help. Help finally came in the form of an outgoing Shinigami patrol, but they weren't there to help Ichigo. They were there to detain her for the murder of her sister.
Ichigo was kept in detainment for nearly a month, her tears never stopping for a second. They tried to gather evidence from Ichigo to be able to pin Shinku's death on her, but the girl was incredibly violent and distant to anyone that asked her. She held no amount of contempt towards those that were trying to pin her sister's death on her. She was eventually moved to the Nest of Maggots, being given a small modicum of freedom. There she walked among the other prisoners, hearing them talk of horrid things. But she was innocent. She shouldn't be here.
She began to avoid the other prisoners like the plague, violently lashing out whenever one would approach her. Still she cried, but not only for her deceased sister. She cried because of her confinement, and how unjust it was. At this point, she wasn't being given a chance to explain herself. She was just being detain as if she had done it. It was then that she began to hear whispers, always dark in nature. They ran from something as small as "Trip that guy, it'll be funny" to things a bit heavier, like "You aren't worth the time they're spending on you". Little did Ichigo realize, this was the beginning of her inner Hollow working it's way out. Most of the time, it was working her to not trust anyone, and doing an excellent job of working over the grief-stricken girl.
Eventually, after three years of confinement, she finally got the chance to explain herself before someone willing to hear her case. It was then that she explained everything. The stolen zanpakuto, the nightly training exercises, the Hollow that killed Shinku, Ichigo not leaving the Gate for three days. However, it was then revealed to Ichigo that the zanpakuto was not stolen. It was, in fact, her father's! That she knew the name of it meant only one thing. She would have to kill her father in combat, or die by his blade.
She pleaded for hours against it, but the Shinigami did not budge. The last member of her family left alive had to die. Since her father was quite old and frail by this point, this made for an easy kill on Ichigo's part. Half of the Shinigami didn't think that the girl would actually kill her own father, but that meant that she would have to allow him to kill her. Tears streaming down her cheeks that she was now the last member of her family, she stabbed her father through his chest and deeply twisted the blade, muttering rampant apologies as she did so. She was now completely alone.
The Shinigami then let her be, giving her the choice of joining the Academy or banishment with a stripping of the power she had lost her entire family for. Although she didn't want to, she reluctantly went along with the Academy. While in schooling for her zanpakuto, she mastered her Shikai easily. She was also far above the others as far as physical strength went. No one sparred with Ichigo, as she not only trained at the Academy, but she trained literally every waking moment of her life. She wanted to make sure the Soul Society never forgot what it had done to her by taking her family away. It didn't take her long to graduate.
Soon enough, she was taken into Squad 11 for her fighting prowess, taking 4th seat with ease. Soon after that, she continued training by herself until she had attained her first release of a Bankai. This grabbed the attention of nearby Shinigami, but most notably, her Captain. Kenpachi then demanded a fight with her with both of their lives on the line, to which Ichigo reluctantly agreed. Ichigo didn't stand a chance against Captain Zaraki, the only skill of her over his was her speed. Every blow she landed just bounced off and made him laugh, which scared her to some degree, but she wouldn't let him win. She couldn't. He was a part of the place that had caused her so much pain.
Ichigo would have been killed if it weren't for the timely interruption of a member of the Onimitskudo, calling Kenpachi away. Ichigo weakly dropped to a knee and panted as the Squad left her, her partner very reluctantly. She resolved herself to stand, despite her wounds, and left the site, not allowing anyone to tend to her wounds. She would take care of them herself. She needed no one and relied on no one.
After a while, Kenpachi just didn't come back. The voice in her head chose this moment to return, telling her to usurp the position while he was gone. She didn't want to, but the voice convinced her, and along went her plan. After due process, she was declared Captain of Squad Eleven, even if it made her fear the man's return. As the Voice grew louder and louder, she became more distant, going from speaking out of necessity, to only speaking to her squad members, to cutting everyone off, aside from the Captain-Commander.
Nearing her 800th birthday, her inner Hollow made itself known, brutally attacking her mind and causing her to try her best to shake it off. However, Jigoku was doing her best to claim the Seiretei for herself. The Hollow continued harping on Yamamoto, declaring that Ichigo could kill him if she wanted. Ichigo fought back, trying her best to remain loyal to the Head Captain, but found it to be a losing battle. She then began lashing out at Jigoku, her physical strength much greater than the Hollow's even inside the girl's mind. It didn't take long for Ichigo to beat Jigoku into submission. However, once this happened, Jigoku was entirely compliant, claiming to push Ichigo only because she wanted her to succeed. Ichigo suspected betrayal, and when she made this known, Jigoku merely laughed, claiming to have trained her well, and vanished into Ichigo's mind.
From that point on, Ichigo trained herself to master every weapon at her arsenal, making sure that should Zaraki ever return, she would be ready for the beast of a man. Ichigo does not hate him, but considers him too beastly to be running as a Captain, and so she remains in her training, growing ever stronger.
