Sento, Tatakai
"With every movement, have purpose."
Basic Information:
Name: Tatakai Sento
Age: 429
Age Appearance: 29
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Shinigami
Division: Nibantai
Rank: Captain
Appearance: Tatakai's hair is oddly blond. Its medium length typical pushed back in an attempt to keep it out of his face causing the hair to spike on occasion. The effect giving him a some what intimidating look, specially when paired with his eyes, dark grean eyes. Eyes of a man that would kill if able, at any opportunity. His facial hair, he tries to keep trimmed around his mouth and bare upon his cheeks. Feint scars litter his body, each one depicting where his combative skills had failed him.
Tatakai wears the traditional shiganami outfit however he leaves out the white undergarments and his belt is black instead of the traditional white. There are times though a bit rare that Sento Tatakai goes with out his typical shinigami attire completely. At theses times you can find the Lieutenant garbed in an outfit reserved for the executive militia of the Onmitsukidō. His wardrobe would be taken a step further as crushed charcoal would also be smeared upon the portion of his face that would not be hidden by the face mask and head cover utilized by the stealth force. Clad in all black Tatakai would indeed look like the standard ninja. This is the appearance he takes when faced with assassination jobs or those that deal specifically in stealth as the clothing bathes him in anonymity.
Over all Tatakai is a some what tall muscular man. Standing straight he measures in at a hundred and seventy-five centimeters, five foot nine inches, just slightly above the typical norm. Weighing in at a mere seventy-six kilograms or one hundred and sixty-eight pounds, he is a man who values speed over strength. The lithe muscular structure was honed from countless sparing matches, training only the muscles necessary for him to fight with. He might not have the most dashing looks around but he isn't the worst out there. Even with the scars as they mare his flesh reveals his battle riddled life and how he has overcome countless odds and battles to reach his position.
Though it is fairly unheard of for him to have any need for one, due to his duties, Tatakai's gigai looks just like him physically. Most likely due to the fact that when the gigai is hosted by a Shinigami, it assumes the appearance of its host. As such Tatakai typically dresses his gigai in typical modern day wear, a pair of dark brown boots n' belt, jeans, and a t-shirt. The jeans are typically shades of dark blue to black, while his t-shirts also tend to be of the darker shades of color. Atypically this is accented with a roughed up coat or jacket to complete the assumable. His under garments however are neither boxers nor briefs, due to him being more of a traditionalist he wears a fundoshi.
Personality: Tatakai is a proud user and master of his Zanpakuto. In battle it typically is his first thing to utilize however he would hardly ever go to shikai unless he absolutely needs to, knowing the drain it puts on his body. Do to having been part of the eleventh division, he tends to want to fight one on one in a duel like competition. In combat he focuses on speed and skill to defeat and dispatch his opposition because of this he deems speaking, especially monolog-ing or speech giving in the middle of combat, great times to reward his opposition with a death intending attack for his opponents crimes.
Out side of combat Tatakai might be seen as forgetful, or simple as he tries to make himself an example to fallow within his division. The truth of the matter however that such things are indeed a stunt used so that he can show mercy when it is needed by feigning his typical absentmindedness. Against those that betray, abandon, or perform the taboo's of the soul society however are worse then scum in his eyes. A plague to be eradicated. As a noble he portrays what is expected of him, a subtle emotionless calm, allowing him to maintain a thought process with a clear mind.
Over all he aims to make the Soul Society better as a whole. Utilizing his off times to help train those that are working to better themselves, file paperwork, or take some time to himself to sit under a willow tree by a ponds edge just to drink tea, relax, and clear his mind.
Likes:
- Sure there could be chocolate milk, orange juice, or even cool aid at the top of this list of likes however tea tops out all of those. Be it sweet, strong, hot, or cold it is tea that he likes and will pick before any other choice beverage.
- Tatakai enjoys that good ol' sturdy stability. It caries the strength that one can put their trust in be it person, being, or thing.
- Another one of Tatakai favorites is simply the thrill of that final stroke, the release of the pent up pressure through out the challenge is just pure ecstasy and a reminder that he is still alive.
- Pleasing and teasing the woman body, what can he say he likes women.
- That being said it is challenges both physical and mental that appease Tatakai's need to prove himself, its one of the reasons he enjoys fighting so much. Training, if battle is imposable and death can not or should not be caused then sparing is Tatakai's go to for that little bit of excitement he can get.
- In terms of weather Tatakai prefers overcast days, the clouds obscuring the sun casting a nice bland shade. Such days are not to bright, not to dark, and their temperature is typically quite mellow as well, all in all, perfect.
- To finish this list of likes lets go with the sweet yet tart taste of the Granny Smith apple, the clash of flavorings wonderful on the tongue.
Dislikes:
- Though he is a happy drunk, Tatakai is incredibly light weight and absolutely detests the ability alcohol has on his ability to think logically.
- Disorganization leads to losing things easily and really makes a mess out of paperwork. It degrades the trustworthiness of the disorganized party as they cant be totally sure if they have what they claim to have within the mess that it might be in.
- The lack of order that those that bend the rules and laws utilize. Rules are not meant to be loop holed or twisted to ones own amusement.
- Tatakai dislikes those that talk unnecessary during combat. Talking distracts the mind out of putting complete focus within a fight. It is a distraction and a waist of energy that leaves to many openings for Tatakai to exploit. It degrades his kill.
- That moment that for some reason, his fighting gets called off and he has to break away from engaging his target, depriving him of finishing his opponent off.
- Vizard's are one of Tatakai's absolute hates, not dislike, hates. Just by being alive they have broken Shinigami law, they have betrayed their brethren, and they have escaped judgement all of which only makes Tatakai more then willing to hunt one down to execute the traitor.
- Arrancar fallow close being the mirrored form of the hollow version of a Visard.
- Rap and techno music. To him rap is just crap and techno is just no.
- Lastly Tatakai dislikes girls that show to much cleavage, its tacky and distasteful to him as a whole, making it a turn off for the Lieutenant.
Motivations: Having reached the rank of Captain he is unwilling to let himself stagnate so that over time others would have an easier time dealing with him, thus he sees two things. The first is to challenge himself daily. Through his first challenge his second one can be accomplished and that is to become better then he was the day before. After all how can one stagnate if they continue to grow. This is not a selfish struggle for power even though it might appear so, in fact Tatakai does it for the sake of those that serve under him. How else are they to look up to him or to put faith in him to protect them if he does not strive to be better. True he does kill, and true he does it with out remorse, but he does it for the greater good.
Fears: Being part of the Nibantai, Tatakai Sento is not afraid of the more common fears like death. Being a dealer of death himself, he has become numb to what death could mean for himself. In a way this has made him afraid to become emotionally attached so that he could continue to stay numb. It is the fear of loss. The same fear that drives him to protect those around him and even more so those that do end up getting to close for his comfort. Tatakai fears relationships because of what it could mean if that bond was exposed and utilized against him. It is this in itself that causes him to be something of a player, after all he does like women but cant make that emotional bond to keep hold of a relationship and drives him to be a better "lover".

Powers & Abilities:
{To be able to use technique, Shikai and Bankai, knowledge and know how must be acquired in-game)
Zanpakutō:
Zanpakuto Spirit Description: Chitatsume takes the form of a humanoid cheetah. Much like a neko in that the form is a cat girl however unlike the typical features of human skin and cat ears, Chitatsume has human ears and cat fur covering her body. Her nails on her hand and bare feet are sharp like claws and like a cheetah can not be retracted. The dark yellow near orange fur that covers her body is complemented by the dark rings upon her body and the long brown hair from her scalp. Her deep brown eyes and sharp canines give her a truly feral look about her.
Zanpakuto Name: Chita (チタ, Cheetah)
Inner World: Chita's inner world can be described as a forest or even a jungle do to the thick foliage within. Its trees tightly grown together over casting everything under the treetops into the shadows however this is not so for all of the world that resides in Chita. In the middle of the untamed forest of trees and vines their lies a glade. Admittedly this glade is not the biggest with only an approximately fifty meters in diameter from treeline to treeline. This spot is where Tatakai always appears when he visits his inner world. It's grass seeming to come to his calves as he walks around and though it flattens to his step it always springs back into place. Chita seems to always wait in the shadows of the trees for Tatakai's appearance as the hunter she is.
Sealed Appearance: Chita is rather unique to most Zanpakuto in the way that those typically seen are actual swords while Chita takes the initial form of a wooden practice sword. Built extra thick for intense contact practice and made out of White Oak, Chita's blade can handle any blow that any sealed Zanpakuto can. Its tip is polished smooth into the daikissaki style giving the wooden blade more of a Katana feel along with kenmine cross section with a groove. The handle of the bokken is really defined by the ridge even with out the use of a cross guard or tsuba.
Shikai
Name: Chitatsume (チタ爪, Cheetah Claw)
Shikai Release Phrase: "Roar" (雄叫び, Otakebi)
Released Appearance: With the release command said its wielder grabs at the blade at the base. Seemingly pulling the blade apart as a orange spiritual aura seems to envelopes the blade. The sound of a sword being drawn could be heard as the wooden blade of the sealed form swells into that of a sheath as it is pulled back revealing the metal blade beneath. The wooden blade turns black seeming to burn under the heat of the spiritual aura as it becomes the sheath for the released Chitatsume. Black cord seems form under the hand that holds tight to the sheath as the blade in the right hand gains a double ring tsuba made out of what appears to be iron. The wooden handle changes as well as black cloth wrap it securing the weapon for its wielders grip.
Shikai Special Ability: Admittedly the release can be stopped as long as the blade can not be drawn from is sealed form. Chitatsume however has no adverse effects in the physical realm. In fact most don't even notice its ability at all due to its nature, after all it does not make things or turn into anything like other zanpakuto blades. What it does do however is drain. It constantly siphons Tatakai's reiryoku limiting the amount of time that he can actually utilize its Shikai state. Its not all negative however as this drain of spiritual energy converts the speed of his motion into a multiplier for his attack strength or well cutting power of his zanpakuto. This works due to Chitatsume's inclination to velocity and how it is used in the blades attacks. Velocity in itself is not much but when it is applied to an object of mass the slower that object the less damage on impact it will cause to another object. The inverse is also true, If one was to increase the speed of that same object of mass it will do more damage on impact. Over all the ability is not flashy or showy like others may be, it just aims to get the job done.
Bankai
Name: Akunaki Chitatsume (飽くなき チタ爪, Ravenous Cheetah Claw)
Bankai Release Phrase: "Rip to Shreds" (抹消にリップ, Masshō ni rippu)
Released Appearance: Akunaki Chitatsume change from Chitatsume begins with holding the sheath and sword before him. With the command," Rip to Shreds, Akunaki Chitatsume.", a blast of orange Spiritual rips away from Tatakai. The force of the blast tearing at his clothes as it pushes everything away from him, even though this blast does no damage, like a rush of violent gale force wind. Even the ground beneath Tatakai's feet compacts. In the midst of the blast the sheath in Tatakai's left hand seems to peel away revealing a Katana matching the one in his right hand. The cloths that rip away from his shoulders and body are replaced with the hide of a cheetah. The head of which rests upon Tatakai's right shoulder like a shoulder pad. The arms of the hide cross Tatakai's chest from right hip to left shoulder and seem to be tied together. A hole for his head through the hides left shoulder makes sure the garb stays securely paced as the skins lower half is wrapped and stitched like a bottom of a shirt. It is after this that the blinding orange glow of the spiritual aura seems to fade as the spiritual power is re-harnessed into the bankai form.
Bankai Special Ability: Though Akunaki Chitatsume however has no adverse effects in the physical realm, people will indeed notice the difference between the bankai and the shikai ability. Right off the bat the severe increase of Tatakai speed caused by the condensing of his spiritual pressure into its bankai form. Its drain and strain on Tatakai however stays the same as it constantly siphons Tatakai's reiryoku limiting the amount of time that he can actually utilize his Bankai state. This fact is still not a negative one for the drain of spiritual energy converts the speed of his motion after the doubling effect into a multiplier for his attack strength or well cutting power of his zanpakuto. The Increase of speed alone is powerful but though the power of kinetic transfer of the blows from its bankai form truly become a force in and of itself as the velocity of his attacks is greatly increased.

State: All, enhanced in Shikai and Bankai
Terms of Usage: Activated, can be used in tandem with other techniques.
Description: Developed by the Nibantai to enhance the users body so that they can deliver a quick and precise attack. By focusing and pulling reiryoku and pushing it into the users body the technique enhances the users body allowing them to not only react but function at extreme speeds as they push their bodies both to and beyond their natural limits.
Downside: The technique severely stresses the bodies muscles and ligaments in order to accomplish its goals. The amount of stress can lead to cramps, tweaked ligaments, pulled muscles, torn ligaments, shredded muscles, and even complete muscle deteriorating failure as the user goes beyond the bodies limits. Such effects are cumulative with each damage level happening every 2 posts with the technique in use though due to adrenaline and steroidic boosts the damage is not felt until the technique is deactivated.

Unlike other attacks this does not deal damage through ones strength, instead it relies on the speed upon impact to deal its damage.
Downside: Of course since this is a high speed lunge one can not be curtain that they are not rushing into their own death making it a high risk for high reward.
