WEAPONRY/POWERS
TOOLS OF WAR
quote or lyrics here; not too long
WEAPONS:
No other weapons.
ZANPAKUTO:
name: Akira (Means - Brightness)
sealed form: A normal Wakizashi, there is nothing really special or unique about her Zanpakuto in it's sealed state. It reaches a total length of 60cm from the tip of the blade to the pommel of the hilt. The sheath is Black, while the grip is steel covered in a White cloth. The blade naturally curves towards the tip of the blade. There is no guard on her weapon either.
spirit: Akira is Canaan's Zapakuto spirit. She stands at 6 feet and weighs the same as Canaan. For her clothes, she wears nothing but dark purple bandages that cover and wrap themselves around her entire body. Her hair is extremely long, coming to a stop at her buttocks and is Black as night. Her eyes a red but whenever she is angry they turn to a purple and glow.
She acts like a bitch for the most part, always wanting to have mock and put down Canaan whenever she enters her inner realm. One such time, Akira pulled down Canaan's bra and proceeded to laugh at the lack of boobs she had. While she is mean and a total bitch towards Canaan, she nonetheless loves her deeply, willing to grant her an power to keep her alive should she need to.
inner world: Canaan's inner world is basically the center of a living volcano. Her Zapakuto spirit, Akira, resides in the middle (center) of the Magma chamber, sitting idly on her throne. Herself and Canaan are totally unharmed by the temperature of the magma and sometimes go for a swim in it together. Whenever Canaan get's too angry, the volcano becomes unstable and sometimes erupts, much to the annoyance of Akira. There is also a large area, down the side of the volcano which she and Akira use as a dueling ground.
The color of the Magma is also different and unique. The color of the magma and any fire is a dark purple. The fire is also ridiculously destructive in its raw power to destroy.
SHIKAI:
release command: Moyasu (Burn)
description: Her normal Wakizashi changes significantly during her Shikai state, while the length stays the same, the colors change along with the shape and curve of the blade. The blade is no longer sheathed, the sheath disappearing during the transformation. The Blade's color changes from it's normal steel look to a dark as night black, while the hilt switches to a dark pink, almost purple color. The blade, instead of curving towards the tip, straightens out completely, removing the curved nature of it's sealed state.
The only change that Canaan undertakes during her Shikai state is that her entire right arm and hand becomes covered in dark grey, almost black bandages.
type: Fire (Her fire is unique in color and raw power. The color being dark purple and it's raw power being ridiculously destructive)
techniques:
For: Shikai
Name: Honoo No Hakai (Flame of Destruction)
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Two Posts
Cost: Low
Range: Short - Medium
Description: For this technique, Canaan simply swipes with her sword, sending forth a flame that is equal in size to her Wakizashi. However, it rapidly expands after release, growing to a average length of eight feet, and a width of two feet, [The maximum being Twelve feet in length and four feet in width]. The targets distance from her self, will be the determining factor as to how large the flame will become.
[With Hakai-teki Chikara No Jigoku;
It becomes more destructive when used with the technique above. The maximum length increase from twelve feet to sixteen feet, and a width of seven feet. The speed of the attack also increases, making it somewhat harder but not impossible to dodge her attack. The average length also increases from eight feet to twelve feet, the width from two feet to four feet.]
This attack does moderate damage, and can be dodged or completely destroyed with a kido based attack should your Sei be greater than Canaan's.
For: Shikai
Name: Hashira No Kasai (Pillar of Fire)
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Cooldown: Two posts
Cost: Moderate
Range: Short
Description: For this technique, Canaan must slam her sword into the ground in front of her. Once having done so, a pillar of flame bursts forth from the ground and around her. The pillar reaches a total height of twenty five feet and has a width of five feet. The technique is both an offensive one and defensive one. It is also capable of deflecting and protecting Canaan from attacks. The pillar last for a total of five seconds, allowing a short time for Canaan to come up with another strategy to use against the opponent.
The Pillar can be destroyed if the kido based attack you have sent soaring towards her powerful enough, meaning if your Sei is greater than her own.
For: Shikai
Name: Hakai-teki Chikara No Jigoku (Destructive Force of Hell)
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Five posts
Duration: Four Posts
Cost: Moderate
Range: On-self
Description: When Canaan uses this technique, her Wakizashi is completely engulfed by flames. The flames allow her to cut things more quickly and deal out more damage. It also worth nothing that if she activates this, then uses Honoo No Hakai , said technique becomes a lot more powerful and destructive.
For: Shikai
Name: Akarui Nami No Inferuno (Bright Wave of Inferno)
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Five posts
Cost: High
Range: One hundered yards
Description: To use this technique, Canaan must build up a large amount of spiritual energy, this will take a total of two post. Once she has built up enough of spiritual energy, she must swipe her arm in a horizontal slash towards her enemy. When this is done, a giant wave of flame erupts from the ground, reaching a total length of thirty five feet, a height of twenty feet and width of sixteen feet. The wave after having reached it's full size, soars towards her opponent at a rather fast pace, destroying everything in it's path and leaving nothing behind. The wave of flame carries on regardless if it hits it's target or not for a total of one hundred yards.
Once the wave hits the one hundred yard mark, it rapidly implodes, once it has been reduced to the size of a football, all of that fire and energy explodes outwards in an truly spectacular explosion in all directions, decimating an area of three hundred yards.
This technique deals heavy damage to any who are swallowed up with it. It is worth noting that should her opponent get swallowed up by the wave, they are carried with it for the rest of the hundred yards. When the wave drops you at the hundred yard mark, you have a few seconds to escape the impending explosion. If you do not, well, might as well surrender afterwards.
This attack can be dodged if your Hoho is greater than Canaan's. The wave can also be cut in half if your Buk and Sei are both greater than Canaan's, if they are not, do not be stupid and attempt it. Again, any Sei related attack or defensive technique will be effective if your Seei is greater than her own.
BANKAI:
name: Tokihanatsu Anata no Mugen Fukushū (Unleash your infinite vengeance)
description: When Canaan activates her bankai, she herself goes under changes, along with her Wakizashi and the environment around her.
Her Wakizashi hilt is covered in the same bandages that cover her entire right arm during her Shikai state. The blade also changes color, going from it's midnight black to a dark purple. Engravings also appear on both sides of the blade, they both form a dragon surrounded by flames. These engravings glow bright purple, the dragons eyes glowing a dark purple. The hilt of the blade, while being covered in bandages, also becomes covered in chains with spikes on them, these chains wrap themselves up Canaan's right arm. The blade remains straight.
Canaan herself goes under changes, the bandages that cover her entire right hand remain, with an addition of her Wakizashi spiked chains wrapping themselves up said arm. Her hair grows to shoulder length and changes color to a dark purple. Her eyes also change color, leaving there usual red and going to a unnatural purple. The bottom half of her face is also wrapped in bandages, these carry on down to the base of her collar bone, stopping exactly wear her stealth uniform begins. Canaan under goes no other changes.
The Environment changes a lot while in her Bankai state, the air temperature increases, so much so that water and ice powers will become somewhat weaker. The air also happens to drain all the moisture from nearby trees, grass, rivers you name it. The second she activates her Bankai and area of up between 100-120 Meters is engulfed by a flash fire. The fire purpose is to simply get the enemy to back the hell up, allowing Canaan to fully enter her Bankai with out interruption. It also removes any obstacles that could hinder her fighting prowess such as tall buildings, or trees.
type: Fire (Her fire is unique in color and raw power. The color being dark purple and it's raw power being ridiculously destructive)
stat upgrades: +4 Hak and +4 Buk,
techniques:
For: Bankai
Name: Harumagedon (Armageddon)
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Three posts
Cost: Moderate
Range: Mid
Description: For this technique, Canaan simple extends her left hand and points her palm towards her opponent. Once this is done, a blast of fire erupts from it, similar to Hado 33 in appearance, except the fact that it is fire and not blue energy. The blast reaches a total distance of twenty five feet, a height of sixteen feet and a width of twelve feet.
This attack can be dodged if your hoh is greater than Canaan's, also it can be countered if your Sei is greater than her own.
For: Bankai
Name: Shōmetsu (Annihilation)
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Passive
Cooldown: Can only be used once during each Battle
Duration: Five Posts
Cost: High
Range: On-self
Description: During this technique, Canaan emits her own Spiritual pressure and allows it to flow out of her. She also releases a large amount of her own spiritual energy and combines the already ready flowing spiritual pressure. When the two are mixed, her entire body becomes engulfed in flames, her Wakizashi also becomes engulfed in these flames. Canaan is unharmed by her own fire, however the longer she keeps it activated, the more taxing it becomes, especially when using other techniques.
Essentially, this is an improved form of Hakai-teki Chikara No Jigoku.
This technique also means that her kicks and punches become more lethal in a SENSE as they are coated by intense flames. Her attacks with her sword become more lethal in the same sense, seeing as her blade is coated in fire, she can burn her opponents while cutting them. Her Bankai techniques also become somewhat more powerful in the sense that she can make the fire based attacks burn more intensely and cause greater damage. The attacks that increase are below;
- Harumagedon
- Eien no Gekido
- Jōshō Taiyō, Kansei Hakai
For: Bankai
Name: Eien no Gekido (Eternal Wrath)
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Two Posts
Cost: Low
Range: Short-Long
Description: For this technique, Canaan simply swipes her sword at her opponent, releasing a pure blast of fire that completely swallows up her opponent. The flame engulfs her opponent for a total of five seconds, unless they dodge it. It does moderate damage but can often leave her target burnt and in pain, not to mention off balance, something which Canaan can take advantage of.
The attack can be dodged if your Hoho is greater than her own. It can be destroyed by any Sei based attack, if your Sei is greater than her own.
For: Bankai
Name: Jōshō Taiyō, Kansei Hakai (Rising Sun, Complete Destruction)
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Area of Effect
Cooldown: Can only be used once per battle.
Cost: Extremely High
Charge: One Post
Range: Long
Description: For this technique, Canaan must summon a large amount of spiritual energy, to achieve this the energy need, she needs to charge up her spiritual energy for a total of one posts. Once this is done, all she need to do is slam her sword to the hilt into the ground with both hands. This sends all of her charged up spiritual energy into the ground. The energy that travels through the ground, stops after half a mile and starts to form a miniature sun. The sun reaches a total diameter of two hundred yards, and a circumference of two hundred yards.
While the sun is being formed, the area above it is effected heavily. Everything with in two hundred yard diameter is completely incinerated, (Her opponents are not, but will feel the effects.) The air temperature reaches such a level that any water and ice based abilities will simply evaporate. The air becomes hot enough to cause burns down ones throat from breathing in and naturally on the persons face and bare skin.
After the sun has been formed, which takes roughly twenty seconds, the sun erupts upwards from the ground, only emerging half, while the other half is below ground. Canaan is absorb into the sun, acting as it's center and is not in any way harmed by this technique. As soon as this happens the sun explodes in an spectacular explosion. Decimating an area of up to a a quarter of a mile, destroying everything in it's path.
This attack is hard to dodge, but is not impossible, if you Hoho is +2 above Canaan's own, then you have the ability to dodged it. Again, attacking this technique with a kido based technique is hard, but as long as you have +1 on Canaan's Sei, it is possible. As for defensive shields to protect you from the attack, you only need +1 higher Sei than Canaan.
This attack is an end move, and as such causes enough damage to KO any opponent whose Han is -8 below Canaan's. If your Han is higher than her own, you will sustain serve damage. While Canaan is not harmed by this technique, she is left totally spent and therefore extremely vulnerable. This technique can only be used with OC permission.

AND ALL THE REST

HISTORY:
Human Life:
Canaan was born into a rich family. Her father, Saim Arterius, was the 12th head of the Arterius clan, a rather powerful and dominate clan. Canaan's mother, Contessa Hawke, was the daughter of the 17th head of the Hawke clan, another powerful and rival of the Arterius clan. As such, the Hawke and Arterius clans had been mortal enemy since one could remember. The rivalry and war soon came to an end, after so many stalemate battles, the elders of both clans meeting and arranging a marriage between Siam Aterius and Contessa Hawke.
This brought an immediate end to the rivalry, with both clans entering a period of peace and prosperity. Canaan was the only child of Saim and Contessa and set to be the 13th head of the Aterius Clan. As such, from a young age she was thrown into education, learning from the best tutors money could buy at the time. She became knowledgeable and intelligent, traits that would help her carry out her future role as the 13th head of the Arterius clan. She was also taught in many different fields of combat, ranging from sword play, to hand-to-hand combat. While this was not her forte, she quickly adapted and became a formidable opponent. Eventually, by the age of 18, being able to take both her mother and father on in a bout and win.
Seeing as she was now 18, the elders, along with her parents decided that a suitor would be picked from the Hawke clan as so to continue the peace between the two clans. Canaan was soon introduced to her suitor, Akio Hayden, she was not happy at the arrangement, she had known from a young age that she found no man attractive, and instead drifted to females. At the time, she was also introduced to her suitors sister, Akira Hayden, as the two families got together. She became infatuated with her, so much so, she did everything that Akira asked, even to the point where she openly declared that she would not be marrying Akio.
This caused a great problem, made greater by the death, rather assassination of Contessa Hawke and Akio Hayden the following day. When news broke out, the Hawke clan wasted no time and launched a large scale attack on the confused Arterius clan. Despite a relentless battle, the Hawke clan won, killing every single member of the Arterius clan except for Canaan. Canaan was stripped naked, beaten and dragged through the dirt all the while people threw things at her, from fruit to rotten fish, even the occasional pile of crap. She was dumped in an ungraceful heap in front of the leader of the attack. Her surprise was great, the leader was none other than Akira Hayden, who behind closed doors, openly admitted to planning the whole thing.
For the next six years Canaan became a prison to Akira, her personal pet. She was gagged and chained, dragged around on all fours like a dog. Despite the torture and ill treatment, Akira insured that Canaan remained a virgin. Citing that it was the only thing of her that would not be ruined. When Canaan reached the age of twenty four, she finally succumbed to her ill treatment, developing a cough and dying in front of Akira as she laughed away. Her body was beaten afterwards by Akira, who ended up throwing it off a waterfall.
Rukongai:
When Canaan awoke on the hard ground of Rukongai district 80, otherwise known as Zaraki, she had no idea where she was. She went about asking, however this only brought her trouble. She was somewhat miffed and confused as to how she was so easily able to fight, she was able to take down the muggers quickly and efficiently. Over the next few days, she quickly adapted to the harsh ways and life of the Zaraki district. She put to use her prowess in speed, agility and power into stealing and managed to make a living for herself. While it was no glorious one, it was more than the average person.
However this also attracted the attention of other thief's and criminals who were quick to recruit her among there rank. This was when she started her life as part of the Crimson Dragons, a small time firm whose sole aim was pretty much stealing valuables from rich nobles or genuinely rich people. For the next sixty years, and with Canaan's help, the organization grew massively. Instead of having control in west district 80, they now had control off the other three, along with many smaller joints in different districts.
With the increase in size and power, she and the firm grew more bold, even as bold as to sneak into the soul society and steal a rather valuable artifact. However, their glory was sort lived, they had heavily underestimated the importance of the artifact. A few days the later, the Stealth Force was summoned and higher ranking members of the Crimson Dragons began to disappear quickly. This was so unexpected that the Crimson Dragons were easily shaken and a vacuum of power was left for the taking. Canaan was smart, and took of with the artifact, deciding her days as an member of the Crimson Dragons were over.
Unbeknownst to her though, she was being perused by the Captain of Squad Two. Eventually the two clashed and while the fight was brutual, Canaan lost, being left barely alive. The Squad Two Captain assumed she would die from her wounds, and that if she did not, that she should join the ranks of the Soul Society as her skills and potential skills could be put to better use. She nonetheless survived and six years later joined the Soul Academy.
Soul Academy:
Canaan eventually joined the Soucl Academy six years after her defeat to the Squad Two Captain. She was immediately looked down upon by the more elite and noble students, while those of a similar background to her own, as in living in either District 80, 79 or 78 naturally treated her as one of their own. She quickly made a close group of friends, all of whom had more or less lived similar lifestyles in the Rukongai. Over the course of her study, Canaan naturally struggled at first, especially with sword skills, her most loathed class being Kendo. She was a natural with hand to hand combat and at Kido, so much so, that during her first year, she underwent a series of missions with a group of advanced Kido practitioners, to erect barriers in the human world and eliminate Hollows with offensive kido.
By doing this she eventually gained the respect of the elite students, especially after she was able to save a group of them from a Menos Grande. While she herself only stalled the Menos, allowing the Elites to escape, she could not defeat it and was saved by none other than the Captain of Squad Two. The two of them naturally bonded and soon enough became friends, regularly sparring when time allowed during her time at the Academy.
She also became more adept at using a sword during her second year, learning from the elites themselves and coming of better because of it. She was a team player too, and aided them in kido and hand to had combat should they require it. By her third year, Canaan was extremely popular throughout the academy, however seen never abandoned her close knit group of friends she made. Also, during this year, her relationship with the Squad Two Captain became more of a crush than a mere friendship, however, Canaan was to naive and oblivious to act upon it.
Canaan graduated during her fourth year, becoming one of the academy's most promising students and one of the best Kido practitioners. She also began her relationship with the Sqaud Two Captain, Azula after a night of passion. A few days later, Canaan was enrolled into the ranks of the Gotei 13, and started her stint in the Stealth Force.
Gotei 13 + Stealth Force:
For the next one hundred years, Canaan spent her time as Azula's lieutenant, accompanying her on many missions throughout the Soul Society, Heuco Mundo and the Human World. She, during this time was also given many solo missions to help expand upon her skill. One such mission involved slaying two Menos Grande class Hollows that had been rampaging through the streets of Karakura Town. With her new found skill and power, she was able to easily dispatch the two Menos.
It was also during these one hundred years that Canaan became a natural leader. Azula saw potential after seeing her preform in one of her earlier missions. She recognized Canaan's ability to be able to lead a group of soldiers to victory against somewhat overwhelming odds while restoring morale. She decided to expand and build upon this, giving Canaan many and multiple missions in which she was in charge. Sure, she failed a few of them, but nonetheless completed a large majority of them with very few casualties. Something the other Captains of the Gotei thirteen quickly recognized and acknowledges.
She was offered at one point to try out for a Captains position, and with Azula's support, she did. While the watching Captains were impressed, she was turned down on the sole reason that she had yet to master her Bankai. When she was able to do that, a Captain's position was more than guaranteed.
She also married Azula during the hundred years, the two entering a somewhat celiberate marriage, but they both loved one another. Eventually, a war came to the Soul Soceity. The enemy was a ridiculously powerful Vasto Lordas who launched a series of quick and brutal attacks against the Soul Society, inflicting many casualties. The Captain's were summoned and given their orders, however during this meeting, the Vasto Lordas managed to break the protective barrier surrounding the Seireitei and began to unleash his army upon the stunned and baffled Soul Reapers.
The war was brutal, but eventually the Vasto Lordas was killed by Canaan's Bankai. So furious was her anger after watching her beloved be ripped apart, that she entered her bankai state and did away with the Vasto Lordas. However, it was no easy battle, at least a quarter of the Seireitei was destroyed in the process and her lovers body was never found much to her dismay. The only thing she has that remains of her lover, is her stealth uniform that she wears herself.
During the after math of the battle, three Captains and numerous seated officers had been killed. The Captains of Squad Two, Three and Six. She was offered the positon of Squad Two Captain but refused because of personal reasons, and instead opted for Squad Six, which was granted to her. And so, as her time with Squad Two and the stealth force, she left and began her time as a Captain. Accomplishing Azula sole wish for her; To become a Captain.
For the next six hundred and sixty two years of Canaan's life, she adopted fittingly to her new position. She began a recruiting campaign and boosted the squads number largely. She also increased and changed the training methods, her squad member's coming off better because of it. During these years her skill continued to grow, so much so that she was now at an level only second to the Captain commander.
She took pride in leading her squad, and did so through many missions, the Rukongai Revolt, the raise of the Vasto Lordas and so on, but those are stories for another day. She also became a rather respected Captain among the court guard.
She has recently, during this present day, visited the Human world more often, hoping to find some excitement in her life.
