I AM Shinigami not anymore
Basic Information:
Human Name: 一拳 天寿 ~Ichiken, Tenju~
Shinigami Name: 一拳 天寿 ~Ichiken, Tenju~
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Division: 6th Division hopeful
Rank: I'll leave this up to staff, I'm not particularly power hungry. Just give what you feel the character deserves ^^
Residence: Seireitei
Appearance:
Having grown up with the legendary Miyamoto Musashi as his hero Tenju based both his training and his appearance style after the long dead man. Tenju has high cheek bones and a smooth forehead which precedes his hair which is long and wild, despite being tied back into a pony tail a good bit still falls forward managing to just barely stay out of his eyes. When let down however it seems to calm down and be a bit more agreeable, falling to the sides in a feathered style moving only for the wind and any quick movements Tenju might make. The color of said hair is a rich and deep brown with a vibrant and lively sheen when hit with the light. Speaking of color, his eyes boast irises with a bright crimson red tinge that seems as if they were forged from red hot embers and they are oval shaped with lazy eyelids outside of combat giving him a sort of saddened look. Tenju varies from having no facial hair to sporting a rather scruffy shadow on his rugged chin, keeping his face well groomed while called in for a meeting or mission to the world of the living and then in contrast not caring to groom himself much at all while spending days simply training. His angular face is usually kept in a calm expressionless gaze as if he were in deep thought, his thin lips set in a melancholy frown.
As for his build he stands a shocking 7ft 8in tall and weighs 280lbs which is nearly all muscle making Tenju a beast of a man. He has a large and muscular frame that isn't very buff surprisingly, instead donning compact and refined muscles that are expertly crafted through years of extensive training. Tenju's body is wrapped in a supple yet tightly woven muscle structure obviously trained into having a good balance of both power and speed. This is due to daily training regiments which have transformed 20% of the muscle in Tenju's body into "pink muscle" which is the strongest type of muscle in the human body, however most average humans can never attain more then a 10% of their muscle mass as pink muscle. Because Tenju trained relentlessly daily for most of his life he has broken this belief and walks the path to attaining a near perfect body, albeit not in a single "lifetime". The usefulness of his muscles is complimented by Tenju's tall body and long limbs which tend to give a leverage advantage on top of raw power.
It is important to note Tenju has received but two injuries in his life that have left behind persistent scars however. Both wounds from a hollow attack during infancy Tenju's face is marked with a horizontal scar along his left cheek as well as a large X shaped scar on his chest.
Clothing - In his normal shinigami attire Tenju wears the usual black and white shihakushou and hakama and wears his zanpakutou at his waist in traditional fashion, however his clothing of choice when in a gigai differs greatly. Tenju has traveled to many lands and finds the eastern styled clothing to be the most comfortable for both daily convenience and the demanding situation of combat. He sports a sleeveless green jacket which he wears open exposing about an inch worths of his chest and stomach. This is tucked into to white obi that is wrapped around his waist several times before being tied into a tight knot at the front. This obi holds up both a light green sash that falls just above the knee and a pair of dark green gi that are loose fitting and easy to move in. He also has bands wrapped around his wrists and from his ankles up his shin, as for foot wear he has pair of Japanese sandals similar to that of a shinigami.
Personality:
Tenju may first come off as the silent type but that is simply because he is usually thinking, once his thoughts stop he can talk at length sometimes but mostly his words are short and to the point. He does not like to have his time wasted by meaningless things and when he becomes impatient it is clearly seen through a twitch in his left eyebrow. He will make it a point to distance himself from others however, despite this new habit however he is very kind at heart and will always try to help someone in need if it's within his power, whether it be shinigami or even an arrancar. Tenju sympathizes with arrancar to an extent and hates seeing anyone or anything with a consciousness die. He usually shows mercy and opts to not kill his enemies unless he absolutely must or he knows that a greater good will come of it.((Killing normal hollows for example as they are purified to be reborn.))
Other aspect of Tenju's personality would be his determination and strong will to never give up; once he sets his eyes upon a goal he feels passionate about he refuses to give up until his very life is ended. This shows in his loyalty to the few friends he makes, for those few who DO become his friends however, he devotes his utmost loyalty and cares for them dearly even if his actions sometimes say otherwise. This is a direct result of losing every person important to him in a single day both in his youth.

Character Story:
RP Sample:
Vizard Information: (Before being able to produce mask and use vizard abilities, proper training must be done despite membership date within group. The more training you do, the better your control is. Mask Duration will be added when Vizard is ready for RP.}
Vizard Mask: Dragon-like in it's appearance Tenju's mask has a large row of sharp teeth and three curved spikes at it's chin resembling a dragons beard. It has two flared nostrils just below two scary angry looking eye holes, above at the forehead is two small horns that curve to point backwards. The mask also has crimson colored markings that start at the left cheek where Tenju's scar is and appear like jagged cuts in the middle of that side of the face. These markings are flame-like in their design and are small and thin as if to reflect the hollow's dormant state.
Hollowfication: Currently Tenju does not know of his inner hollows existence as it lays dormant, sleeping, waiting for him to become stronger. For now Tenju is dominant however this is due to the hollows intentional submissiveness.
Hollow Manifestation: This will be decided on when the time comes, for now I'll leave it blank.
Your Zanpakuto:
Zanpakuto Name: Mugen no Ryuu
Sealed Appearance: A fairly normal looking pair of twin katana to match Tenju's large size and massive reiatsu it is a bit thicker, longer and heavier then one would usually expect. The length between the edge and dull end of the blade is an impressive 3 inches which makes the hamon of the zanpakutou all the more apparent. The blades boasts a shocking 123cm and the hilts are wrapped in black ray skin over white cushioning, with a gold colored fitting at the bottom. It's cross guard is gold as well with a unique double circle shape; a design intended to improve the aerodynamics of the weapon. The blade itself is beautifully crafted, has a razor flame-like hamon and is held within a pair of black hardwood scabbards.
Zanpakuto Spirit Description: Mugen no Ryuu takes the form of a stylish middle aged man standing an impressive 7ft 9in tall just barely taller then Tenju. His weight is an unknown variable however it is assumed to be fairly high as Tenju finds himself unable to move the spirit even the slightest despite best efforts to remove him from his meditating rock. Mugen no Ryuu sports spiked back silver hair that stands tall and proud with the exception of a single strand falling forwards as if to defiantly claim independence from the rest. His eyes have a cool blue color where there is normally white and his irises give off a commanding black darkness that seems to move about like hellish flames.
Mugen no Ryuu wears a large brown frock coat consisting of a leather-like material that appears to be made from the dried skin of an unknown animal. The coat is also tipped with black fur cuffs and collar as well, the fur seems to almost still be alive and moves in a natural manner almost as if the wind were gently brushing it to move whether any kind of gale is present or not. The coat is worn over a casual leopard pattern shirt made of a soft silk fabric and for bottom he wears a pair of scale design silver pants that end just above his ankles. Mugen no Ryuu has no foot wear to speak of however it is notable that his feet and hands are hybrid between human and some kind of draconian claw.
Shikai
Shikai Release Phrase: Cascade unto thy self endlessly...Mugen no Ryu!
Released Appearance:
Mugen no Ryuu's released form is a large cleaver like blade, 5 ft long including the 1ft hilt, that has two crescent like spaces on the sword and an edge that spans the entire length of both the front and back of the blade. The weapon's core seems to be made out of a very well polished metal of sorts that seems to be the deepest of blacks possible devoid of any and all other color aside from that which is reflected on it's surface. The weapon has no guard to speak of and is separated by what appears to be a strip of metal with bolts in it before moving on to the hilt of the weapon. Said hilt is crafted from a material that feels akin to rubber and it absorbs shock and force rather well, however the shape curves slightly at the end accompanied by a metal loop to which a black metal chain is attached.
Mugen no Ryuu's main feature is it's chain which mysteriously extended and retracts from anywhere between 3 meters to 30 meters. The chain is as durable as the blade itself and can be used both defensively and offensively especially thanks to it's accessory. The chain ends abruptly only to have a crescent moon shaped blade floating just nearby, forged out of a similar metal as the larger blade and likewise has an edge around it's entire perimeter. This crescent blade has four more talon shaped blade crafted in the same "full-edged" fashion floating spaced out evenly along the crescent blades outer edge.
Other Changes: Tenju's shikai form brings about no additional changes to his appearance.
Bankai
Shall remain in spoilers and blank until this power is attained. Lets find out what Tenju's bankai is together, as even I don't know it ^^
Abilities (Max 16 you can add/unlock as you progress in-game)
Name: Dragon's Spirit
State: Shikai/Bankai
Terms of Usage:This technique is an innate power of Mugen no Ryuu and requires only that the user feed their reiatsu into the blade.
Description: Mugen no Ryu is a reiatsu and momentum based melee zanpakuto. When it's filled with reiastu, the force is amplified by Mugen no Ryu's power and then released as an aura of black flame-like reiatsu that wraps around the blade and increases the power and speed behind the attack in proportion to how much momentum it's pulling. A simple slash would make a thin layer of reiatsu that would simply make the impact heavier and more powerful, however for if for example the blade were being spun by the chain and Tenju poured a great deal of his reiatsu into it the entire weapon would become engulfed in raging black flames increasing the power and speed further which in turn increases the amplification causing the power to cascade unto itself gaining in strength until being released in an explosive blast of energy. This power is limited only by the amount of reiatsu Tenju has and how much momentum he can put the weapon under. The downside however is it is extremely easy to use up ones reiatsu with this technique as it can quickly sap up a large amount unintentionally. This technique cannot reach it's full power instantaneously nor can the reiatsu used in the attack be saved or recovered if it is interrupted. Once fed to the zanpakutou that reiatsu is thus consumed and will dissipate into the atmosphere if the weapon's momentum is halted prior to releasing an attack.

Your Legacy:
Character Story:
- Spoiler:
- Human Life
Tenju was born as a human to a man and women whom both died roughly around the same time he was brought into this world. His father died in a violent "animal attack" as he hurried home from tending the fields upon hearing his wife had gone into labor. However despite what people said it was not an "animal" in the sense that they were thinking; his body was torn to shreds and left as a bloody mess. His death was caused by a hollow with an evil plan, upon his soul being torn from his now dead physical body the hollow quickly was on top of Tenju's father and forcefully ripped what remained of his chain of fate off forcing the transformation into a hollow to take place instantly. Tragically this was only the beginning of the hollow's plans as he now set the newly born hollow, desperate to devour the souls of it's loved ones to ease the pain where it's heart once was, loose to go track down and eat Tenju's mother. While she was going through child birth the process itself she nearly died, however what caused her death was an untimely hollow attack made by her once husband. Already on the verge of death she could see the beastly figure slightly as an ominous haze and somehow she knew that what appeared to be a hand reaching to choke the life from her neck was real. As her former love began strangling her she made one last effort and gave birth to the child whom would later be known as Tenju, dying seconds later with tears down her face. The hollow was planning on soon turning it's attention to the newly born son, executing an attack that would kill the chamber maid caring for the baby as well as mortally injuring Tenju's chest as well. The baby could have been left to bleed out however the Hollow moved in to devour the newly born soul when suddenly the soul of Tenju's mother dove in the way of the attack causing her to be impaled on the hollow's claw stopping it just enough so the hollow could only leave a scratch on the newborn's chin. This act would halt the hollow just long enough for a shinigami to arrive on scene through the wall slaying the beast with one fell slash. He was too late to save the mother, but she died happy her baby was safe, the shinigami quickly administered first aid to stop the bleeding and used kidou to help heal Tenju further allowing the boy to live. The Shinigami performed Konsou on the soul of the chamber maid and went about his duties leaving the child to fate having done all he could.
In the events following both of his parents deaths, hollowfication, and purification via zanpakutou, Tenju was seen as a cursed child. After all the only witnesses to his birth were all dead so the villagers saw him as the only survivor in a bloody massacre that could not be explained. He was feared despite being a baby and was taken deep into the mountains where he was abandoned in a bush to die. Despite the bad fortune in his birth and abandonment life has a funny way of working out where you least expected it to. By chance there was a temple not too far from Tenju's place of abandonment and as fate would have it a young monk was out on a walk following the twinkle of the stars as he did. The young monk tripped over a log since he was looking up at the sky and ended up face first in a bush. The monk started to laugh at himself when the noise and motion disturbed Tenju from his slumber and brought forth crying. Surprised to see a baby out in the middle of nowhere like this and brought the child back to the temple to show the master. After a short discussion between the elders of the temple they decided the baby could stay and that the monk who found him would be his guardian till he came of age.
The monk who found Tenju gave the baby a name with the meaning "Life blessed by the heavens" because it was the heavens that had led him to the child; the monk himself was named Ichiken, Ittouman. Over the next several years Tenju was raised as a monk looking to Ittouman as a father figure, he adopted the surname Ichiken and trained hard to make his "father" proud. Among the other monks in training Tenju was one of the most disciplined and continued his training in what little free time he had when the others would normally opt to play. Whether it was hardening his hands by punching sand or focusing on his meditation Tenju was always trying to better himself. Due to the exposure to a hollow attack in his infancy Tenju's reiatsu was abnormally high for most humans and he soon found that he was able to see ghosts. His daily meditation to control what was known by the monks as "inner energy" helped cultivate this ability and his reiatsu making the images of ghosts go from hazy silhouettes to clear as day figures. Tenju kept this a secret from the other monks for several years until one day a hollow appeared at the Temple. It began slaughtering monks and devouring their souls looking for the high reiatsu that had led it here. It was the same hollow that had orchestrated Tenju's real parents deaths, and had come to collect the prize it had been waiting so patiently for...a human soul that was abnormally powerful. Yes the goal of the hollow was to "raise" a soul from birth placing it in near death situations in order to boost it's spiritual pressure above average. Tenju was the only one among the monks who could see the hollow clear as day, however a few others could make out the shape of the beast and roughly see where it was at. Tenju and the others whom were spiritually capable all stood together in a desperate attempt to kill the thing that attacked their home. The hollow laughed defiantly at the human's blind and hopeful efforts to retaliate and picked them off one by one until Tenju was all that remained of those whom had stood to fight. Tenju was terribly injured however just before the hollow delivered the final blow and then devoured his soul, an unlikely savior arrived on the scene. A sudden strike of reiatsu pierced the hollows skull dissolving the beast into reishi as a figure dressed all in white stood in a nearby tree top with a bow of sorts that seemed to be made out of a glowing white energy.
With a sudden swish the man vanished from the trees and was a mere arms length away from Tenju offering him a hand up however retracting that hand once he realized Tenju was in no condition to do so. The man explained he was a quincy and that the monster was a hollow. He apologized for not being quick enough to save more lives but also gave Tenju a warning before leaving. The hollow was most likely here for Tenju due to his unnaturally high reiatsu and if he stuck around it was only a matter of time before more appeared. With that the man left vanishing with another swish; Tenju would later come to know that the man was a quincy however for now he was merely a stranger in the night. Knowing now that the hollow had come because of him, Tenju decided to leave the Temple at the age of 14 and headed down from the mountain and into the village below. Tenju didn't stay long however, after attaining supplies to travel he was always on the move and never really settled long enough to deeply ponder or think about it. In his time among the other people he was still an adolescent hardly out of his childhood and so it was natural that he would gain an obsessive liking to his hero once he found him. This hero was the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, people portrayed him as a god among swordsmen and Tenju read his book the Go Rin No Sho. He found the mans philosophies intriguing and started to follow the path of the sword. He got a part time job just long enough to get some money to buy a few tools such as a knife and new cloths. With these things he then took to wandering the outskirts of the city finding his nutrition from the nature, eating berries and hunted rabbits, these kinds of things. And for the next 5 years he trained diligently in a duel sword style using hand carved wooden practice swords until he became ambidextrous with the blade. Training his body constantly as well as maintaining his daily meditation to improve his reiatsu control as well.
Now at the age of 19 Tenju had been free of hollow attacks for so long he had forgotten about the danger, he finally returned to the city and made money by performing his skill with the sword publicly until he had enough to take a boat west to china. Once there he wandered visiting various marital arts and for the next 4 years of his life he did this across the entire known world. Always eager to learn more about combat, Tenju desired to master himself and create the worlds most perfected martial art. However all this training would prove to be for naught when one day a hollow finally caught up with him. Tenju fought the hollow valiantly and thanks to his learned reiatsu control from his 20+ years worth of meditation, he was able to even hurt the beast by channeling reiatsu into his swords. But in the end it was too powerful and killed Tenju, or at least in a physical sense. With his soul removed from his body and his chain of fate cut it seemed his soul was going to be devoured and gone forever when suddenly he was saved again. A shinigami arrived on scene and defeated the hollow, Tenju took this time to run and cursed himself for being saved yet again.
Plus Life as a Soul
Following his escape from the hollow due to the shinigami stepping in, Tenju quickly came to the realization that he was no longer among the physical living. If the fact that he remembered seeing his own body mangled before running wasn't enough to convince him of this, then the strange chain protruding from his chest was more then enough icing on the cake to do so. Tenju kept running for hours, feeling true fear and a deep sense of self pity for the first time ever. He thought he was stronger, finally strong enough to fight these beasts on his own; however once more he ended up having to be saved yet again. In his distraught panic Tenju eventually found himself lost and out of breath feeling like he had just been running for an entire day when a run like this normally wouldn't have left him entirely winded. The shinigami who rescued him soon caught up, due to the damage Tenju had already inflicted the hollow went down easy and it wasn't long before the soul reaper set out after the soul that fled. It was his job to send such spirits to seireitei after all and he explained as much to Tenju. Just before the shinigami was about to perform soul burial and help Tenju pass on the young soul retaliated and refused to pass on quietly, "I have yet to find the strength I am looking for." Was all Tenju would tell the shinigami before leaving into the night off to continue his travels as a soul.
Tenju was approached many times by various shinigami trying to perform soul burial on him but each time he adamantly refused convinced that he did not want their promise of a "safe" place called seireitei. Tenju's desire to grow stronger kept pushing him onwards in a blind wandering as he continued his training even as a soul. Tenju found controlling his inner energy which he had been told was called reiatsu was much easier now that he was in a spiritual form. He was convinced that this alone would be enough to take on a hollow, however the erosion of his chain of fate bothered him. Each session of grueling pain was becoming longer and came with shorter intervals causing him to question just what was going on with him. The shinigami he met had opted to not tell him that once it fully eroded he would likely become a hollow, or perhaps he had been too arrogant in his refusal to pass on to give them time to do so. Either way he was suffering almost daily now and there wasn't much of his chain left, Tenju began to worry of what would happen once the chain was done devouring itself...Tenju did not let this disrupt his training and he diligently continued on trying to improve stopping only when the erosions were active and when hunger required him to find some food. Life, or rather post life continued like this for Tenju over the next week until on the 7th day he found himself under attack by a hollow once more. While he had no weapons to speak of unlike last time Tenju had no choice but to fight the hollow bare handed. Using reiatsu to make his strikes effective Tenju was sure he would be able to inflict damage upon the hollow but the problem was getting it close, it opened up with a powerful swipe of it's claws which Tenju narrowly dodged. As he did he felt the difficulty he had breathing all this time fade and he could feel his reiatsu flow more freely. The danger his soul was placed in allowed it to awaken it's suppressed power and the hollow's movements became a bit easier to read. Thus as the monster made to attack again Tenju was ready this time, he swiftly side stepped to the side of the attack and dashed in aiming a powerful fist straight for the hollow's mask as he let out a battle cry and released all of his reiatsu into that single attack. The blow shattered the hollows mask killing it on the spot as it feel back giving off one final shriek into the night.
For all the effort that had been put into fighting hollow in the past that still ended in defeat Tenju was almost disappointed that he had attained such an easy victory. He was sure that this hollow must have been far weaker then the others he had faced up till now, however even if he wanted to celebrate there would be no time to do so. Before the hollow's body even fully dissolved into reishi the final erosion of Tenju's chain of fate began, each link of the chain grew multiple mouths and began devouring away at each other at a very rapid pace. Tenju fell to the floor screaming as he writhed in pain as he shouted in his mind, "No! Stop! Not yet, I still haven't gone far enough!" and the last of the chain fell away revealing a black empty hole in his chest. For a split second the pain stopped and Tenju felt a terrible feeling in the pit of his soul as he felt every cell in his body resist what was about to come. Suddenly a thick white liquid began to pour from his eyes and mouth bursting forth from his body and slowly building up upon his face as he screamed in even more pain then before. The hollowfication had begun...
The formation of the mask first was a sign of Tenju's resistance to the hollowfication process even though he himself had no clue of what was going on. Everything went black for a moment in his mind as his consciousness drifted to his inner world, he awoke groggy as if from a nightmare looking up at a bright blue sky. Tenju got up holding his head confused, "Where....am I?..." Suddenly a voice rung out from behind him, "Tenju, after all this time can you still not hear my voice?" Tenju turned around to see a man standing on a rock with his arms crossed, he had blown back medium length silvery grey hair and wore strange clothing. Tenju blinked as he looked on blankly at the man, "Who are you?" He sighed and closed his eyes before cocking his head sideways ever so slightly and opening his eye once more with a determined look, "Again and again I call out to you and yet you never hear me...It is I, *******" Tenju tried to clean out his ears, "What�s with this? I can't hear his name..." Tenju was opening his mouth to say something when he suddenly looked around noticing he seemed to be in a park located in a square of a big city. But the people in the distance had no faces and it seemed they were making a lot of noise that was like an annoying buzz of background noise. Then suddenly the sky darkened and the cities power seemed to vanish while the people all stopped in their tracks and started to dissolve as the building collapsed around Tenju and the strange man, "Tenju! There is no time to explain things, if you are to survive and not become a hollow you must find your shinigami powers and become a shinigami!" Tenju blinked in surprise and held out his hand, "W-Wait a minute what are you talking about!?" As the city fell to pieces around him in chaos the leaves off the trees in the park all fell and swirled around Tenju as the stranger spoke, "Your shinigami powers lie within one of these leaves you must find the right one quickly or else you will be lost forever, doomed to be the very beasts you sought to defeat..." Tenju began to panic as he watched the hundreds of leaves swirl around him and the floor beneath him fell apart as he descended into darkness. All he could see now were the leaves, "This is ridiculous...how am I supposed to...no I need to focus...I can do this!" he thought to himself as he restrengthened his resolve and closed his eyes. Tenju relaxed and felt the mixed energies around him, his time as a monk and following years of meditation paid off. As Tenju opened his eyes he saw the various reiatsu signatures in solid form as strips of ribbon all were white save a single one that was different from the rest, it was a red thread of cloth and it had to be the one! Tenju reached out and grasped the spirit thread with one hand and reached out with the other grasping the leaf it lead him to. Tenju stared down at the leaf as it seemed to open and the hilt of a sword poked out of what appeared to be a void within the leaf, "At last you have found me Tenju, now hurry there isn't much time left! Pull me from within the leaf!" The mysterious man shouted from behind Tenju as he obeyed and drew the sword from the leaf.
Meanwhile outside Tenju's inner world his body was screaming in agony as the mask was almost complete around his face, there was only about 10% of his skin still showing including his right eye and part of his cheek. Suddenly there was a massive explosion of reiatsu and a bright strike of energy shot into the sky exploding high above ground parting the clouds. Tenju found himself awakening back in the real world high above ground breathing through a mask as he started to plummet back to the earth. There was a katana at his waist and he was dressed in the same cloths the shinigami were, "Did I make it?" Tenju asked him self as he looked at his hands and then suddenly realized he was falling from deadly heights. Tenju punched his own face in order to break the mask and threw the remains to the side casting them off as he flipped in the air trying to reposition himself to land on his feet. If Tenju remembered correctly he had seen those shinigami walk on air before they must have used reiatsu to do so. Letting out a roar Tenju released as much reiatsu through his feet as he could and felt the resistance against the atmosphere as his fall slowed just in time for him to hit the ground making a small crater. He survived with great pain but knew that if he were still a normal human the impact would have killed him, "So shinigami are more durable eh?..." Tenju said as he looked himself over grumbling a bit as he complained about the pain not being any less. It was at this point the local shinigami arrived who began asking Tenju various questions such as what division he belonged to, what he was doing there, and what that sudden burst of reiatsu was. Tenju had no answers for the man and said he had only just become a shinigami and was a normal soul before. Tenju was not believed at first but in time the shinigami accepted that there was likely no other possibility and suggested Tenju go to seireitei and join the shinigami academy.
Life as a Shinigami, Academy days, Exile
After arriving in seireitei Tenju immediately enrolled in the shinigami academy and started classes right away. He quickly distinguished himself from the other students in both swordsmanship and reiatsu control and was considered a prodigy by some. Tenju however denied such claims and tried to make it clear that he merely had extensive prior experience. For many years Tenju trained hard and equally focused on his physical and reiatsu based skills, studying extensively in both kidou arts and hakuda/zanjutsu styles.
RP Sample:
- Spoiler:
- The grand vast dune of Hueco Mundo's white sands seemed to expand endlessly under the silver light of the moon. A soft swish that accompanied a shunpo would sound amidst the barren wastes as Tenju appeared without kicking up a single grain of sand. He was still clutching the hilt of his zanpakutou tightly in a fist that was now shaking slightly. After so many years he finally encountered someone that was not out for his head at first sight however the meeting yielded little in the way of pleasing results. The exile didn't know what he expected to be the outcome however it certainly wasn't this. An idealistic arrancar seeking universal peace for all and willing to spill blood in order to do so had expressed an interest in recruiting Tenju for his cause. While opposed to the idea at first the idea of running away revolted the former shinigami even more, for too long he had condemned himself to a meaningless existence accepting the idea that there was no escape from Hueco Mundo. Now however there was hope for redemption, perhaps just a little more fighting...just a little more and then finally Tenju could find peace at last.
Vizard Information: (Before being able to produce mask and use vizard abilities, proper training must be done despite membership date within group. The more training you do, the better your control is. Mask Duration will be added when Vizard is ready for RP.}
Vizard Mask: Dragon-like in it's appearance Tenju's mask has a large row of sharp teeth and three curved spikes at it's chin resembling a dragons beard. It has two flared nostrils just below two scary angry looking eye holes, above at the forehead is two small horns that curve to point backwards. The mask also has crimson colored markings that start at the left cheek where Tenju's scar is and appear like jagged cuts in the middle of that side of the face. These markings are flame-like in their design and are small and thin as if to reflect the hollow's dormant state.
Hollowfication: Currently Tenju does not know of his inner hollows existence as it lays dormant, sleeping, waiting for him to become stronger. For now Tenju is dominant however this is due to the hollows intentional submissiveness.
Hollow Manifestation: This will be decided on when the time comes, for now I'll leave it blank.
Your Zanpakuto:
Zanpakuto Name: Mugen no Ryuu
Sealed Appearance: A fairly normal looking pair of twin katana to match Tenju's large size and massive reiatsu it is a bit thicker, longer and heavier then one would usually expect. The length between the edge and dull end of the blade is an impressive 3 inches which makes the hamon of the zanpakutou all the more apparent. The blades boasts a shocking 123cm and the hilts are wrapped in black ray skin over white cushioning, with a gold colored fitting at the bottom. It's cross guard is gold as well with a unique double circle shape; a design intended to improve the aerodynamics of the weapon. The blade itself is beautifully crafted, has a razor flame-like hamon and is held within a pair of black hardwood scabbards.
Zanpakuto Spirit Description: Mugen no Ryuu takes the form of a stylish middle aged man standing an impressive 7ft 9in tall just barely taller then Tenju. His weight is an unknown variable however it is assumed to be fairly high as Tenju finds himself unable to move the spirit even the slightest despite best efforts to remove him from his meditating rock. Mugen no Ryuu sports spiked back silver hair that stands tall and proud with the exception of a single strand falling forwards as if to defiantly claim independence from the rest. His eyes have a cool blue color where there is normally white and his irises give off a commanding black darkness that seems to move about like hellish flames.
Mugen no Ryuu wears a large brown frock coat consisting of a leather-like material that appears to be made from the dried skin of an unknown animal. The coat is also tipped with black fur cuffs and collar as well, the fur seems to almost still be alive and moves in a natural manner almost as if the wind were gently brushing it to move whether any kind of gale is present or not. The coat is worn over a casual leopard pattern shirt made of a soft silk fabric and for bottom he wears a pair of scale design silver pants that end just above his ankles. Mugen no Ryuu has no foot wear to speak of however it is notable that his feet and hands are hybrid between human and some kind of draconian claw.
Shikai
Shikai Release Phrase: Cascade unto thy self endlessly...Mugen no Ryu!
Released Appearance:
Mugen no Ryuu's released form is a large cleaver like blade, 5 ft long including the 1ft hilt, that has two crescent like spaces on the sword and an edge that spans the entire length of both the front and back of the blade. The weapon's core seems to be made out of a very well polished metal of sorts that seems to be the deepest of blacks possible devoid of any and all other color aside from that which is reflected on it's surface. The weapon has no guard to speak of and is separated by what appears to be a strip of metal with bolts in it before moving on to the hilt of the weapon. Said hilt is crafted from a material that feels akin to rubber and it absorbs shock and force rather well, however the shape curves slightly at the end accompanied by a metal loop to which a black metal chain is attached.
Mugen no Ryuu's main feature is it's chain which mysteriously extended and retracts from anywhere between 3 meters to 30 meters. The chain is as durable as the blade itself and can be used both defensively and offensively especially thanks to it's accessory. The chain ends abruptly only to have a crescent moon shaped blade floating just nearby, forged out of a similar metal as the larger blade and likewise has an edge around it's entire perimeter. This crescent blade has four more talon shaped blade crafted in the same "full-edged" fashion floating spaced out evenly along the crescent blades outer edge.
Other Changes: Tenju's shikai form brings about no additional changes to his appearance.
Bankai
Shall remain in spoilers and blank until this power is attained. Lets find out what Tenju's bankai is together, as even I don't know it ^^

- Release Phrase:
Released Appearance:
Other Changes:
Abilities (Max 16 you can add/unlock as you progress in-game)
Name: Dragon's Spirit
State: Shikai/Bankai
Terms of Usage:This technique is an innate power of Mugen no Ryuu and requires only that the user feed their reiatsu into the blade.
Description: Mugen no Ryu is a reiatsu and momentum based melee zanpakuto. When it's filled with reiastu, the force is amplified by Mugen no Ryu's power and then released as an aura of black flame-like reiatsu that wraps around the blade and increases the power and speed behind the attack in proportion to how much momentum it's pulling. A simple slash would make a thin layer of reiatsu that would simply make the impact heavier and more powerful, however for if for example the blade were being spun by the chain and Tenju poured a great deal of his reiatsu into it the entire weapon would become engulfed in raging black flames increasing the power and speed further which in turn increases the amplification causing the power to cascade unto itself gaining in strength until being released in an explosive blast of energy. This power is limited only by the amount of reiatsu Tenju has and how much momentum he can put the weapon under. The downside however is it is extremely easy to use up ones reiatsu with this technique as it can quickly sap up a large amount unintentionally. This technique cannot reach it's full power instantaneously nor can the reiatsu used in the attack be saved or recovered if it is interrupted. Once fed to the zanpakutou that reiatsu is thus consumed and will dissipate into the atmosphere if the weapon's momentum is halted prior to releasing an attack.
