BLEACH—Broken Promises [Not Started/Accepting/PG-16]

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

[center][size=5]DISCLAIMER—This is a remake of an old RP by the name of Bleach: The Perfect World. I plan to make this RP very similar, but differences from the original will be welcome, as not everybody has to have been a part of the old one.[/size][/center]
[center][size=5]The credit for the original idea goes to Essence.[/size][/center]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]"Natsumi Hishiro, Lieutenant of the 1[sup]st[/sup] Division, you have been charged for first degree murder and shall be sentenced to death." This is the repeated line that flows through her head as she walks down the path to the Sōkyoku, ready to face her punishment.

"I've been told that I have killed the captain commander. Is there any evidence that I committed this crime? Is there a way to prove this theory?" she replied, a gleam in her eye. The Sōkyoku fell, and the blazing phoenix ripped her to shreds.

Two days later, the following note was found in the quarters of the Sixth Division Captain, Shigai Kuchiki:
[i]“Dear Captains of the Sereitei…Lieutenant Hishiro was not the murderer. I’ll spare you the whole ‘She was set up!’ deal and just tell you straight away who did it—ME.”[/i]
[i]~Sincerely, Hotaru the Destroyer~[/i]

After much analysis of the note and investigation into Shinigami with the name “Hotaru”, there was a surprising revelation—There was no trace of anyone’s spiritual energy on the note, and there was no record of any Shinigami named Hotaru that was active anywhere near the time the 1[sup]st[/sup] Division Captain, Retsu Unohana, was murdered. Needless to say, this perplexed the Investigation Squad.

But who could be the murderer? Only time will tell…

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Name[/b]: Kōsetsu Itegami ([i]凍神降雪 Itegami Kōsetsu[/i])[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Rank[/b]: Captain, Division 3
[b]Gender[/b]: Male
[b]Zanpaktou[/b]: Hanagata ([i]花形, lit. "Shining Star"[/i][/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]). Hanagata is a simple, plain-old katana with a silver blade. The white handle is decorated with engravings of five-pointed stars, and the crossguard is a hollow five-pointed star with five protrusions on the inside that connect it to the sword itself.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][b]Shikai[/b]: "Burst, Hanagata!" A golden light surrounds Hanagata and [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's arm [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]and explodes outward. Then, it is revealed that [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's firearm is covered by a polished silver gauntlet, with two tubular structures near the elbow.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The abilities of Hanagata vary greatly, but they all center around the use of shining golden reiatsu. The reiatsu can be shot out of the two tubular structures in the back to enhance the sheer physical power of [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's punches, or it can be used to form a katana of pure reiatsu in his hand. The gauntlet can also fire beams of reiatsu when [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu punches.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Even without the use of the energy, this weapon [i]vastly[/i] increases [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's physical strength.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Bankai[/b]:Sen no Hanagata Hakai ([i]千の花形破壊, lit. "Thousand Shining Star Destruction"[/i][/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]). [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu is surrounded by a harsh golden light, which explodes outward. When the light dissipates, [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu is revealed to be covered up to his nose in a gleaming silver armor.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]In this form, [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hanagata retains all of its past abilities. Also, the reiatsu blasts and jets can be used in conjunction with [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's kicks as well, and he can produce reiatsu from his feet in order to fly. [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu can also breath underwater and in a vacuum while wearing his Bankai.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu can also self-destruct his Bankai, causing an explosion of reiatsu and reverting Hanagata to its sealed state.[/font]
[b]Character Appearance[/b][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]: [spoiler=[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu][/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu has shaggy, stylishly unkempt russet hair. His eyes are a dark, stormy grey with little flecks of gold in them. [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's skin is fair, as he tends to either nap a lot during the day or simply just refuse to head outside; however, it is also very soft and smooth, with virtually no blemishes[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]. [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's face is described by many to be very handsome, but he personally feels he is only average in appearance. He stands at just under six feet tall and is rather unimpressive in stature; he is not terribly muscular, but when his skin is visible, there is a slight bit of musculature visible.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's attire generally consists of the standard shinigami garb with his Captain's haori over it. An interesting thing to note is that [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu wears Gin Ichimaru's old tattered haori, as a show of reverence to his predecessors.[/font][/size]
[size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/spoiler][/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][b]Personality[/b]: [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu is very sarcastic and witty, often not revealing his true feelings on things to people. He tends to use humor and sarcasm to protect himself from feeling people's normal emotions, as he doesn't want to be taken advantage of or disrespected like he was back in his childhood.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]He also harbors a hatred for the Kuchiki family, due to their upscale life contrasting with his experiences of rising from nothing to become something.[/font]
[b]Background Information[/b][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]: [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu was born and raised in the 64th district of Rukongai, The North Alley of Wandering Spirits. As such, he didn't have a very pleasant life. When he was very young, his parents (who were low-ranking Shinigami) were murdered, and so he had to fend for himself. His peers constantly picked on him due to his orphaned state and his naivety. However, despite all of the obstacles in his way, he dealt with everyone who crossed his path accordingly and eventually was granted acceptance into [/font]Shinō Academy, where he quickly rose through the ranks and was granted a seated position in Division 3 of the Gotei 13.
Flash forward, and here he is now, at the head of his division. He became involved in the murder investigation due to the fact that his parents' murders were never solved. Now, he works closely with Division 6, much to his chagrin, in trying to identify the culprit.
[b]Special and/or Unique Abilities[/b][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]: [i]Hakuda Master[/i]—[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu is a master hand-to-hand combatant, despite his unimpressive appearance.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][i]Zanjutsu Master[/i]—[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu is highly proficient in swordplay, capable of holding his won against a released zanpakutou with his unreleased Hanagata.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][i]Kido Expert[/i]—[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu can use Kido very well, being able to use up to #89 without incantation effectively.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][i]Massive Spiritual Pressure[/i]—[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Kōsetsu's spiritual pressure level is one of the highest in the Sereitei. However, he manages to keep it under wraps for the majority of the time.[/font][/size]
[size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][i]Genius-Level Intellect[/i]—I feel this is rather self-explanatory, don't you think?[/font]

[Hydra of Ages]

[spoiler= Application]

[b]Name: [/b]Sayuri Hideyoshi
[b]Rank: [/b]Lieutenant, Division 11
[b]Gender: [/b]Female
[b]Zanpaktou: [/b][i]Akaiyousei [/i]is a surprisingly large tachi-style zanpaktou, featuring an abnormally prominent curve across its entire four foot length. The blade has a cutting blade of extended length, adjusted for by having a thicker sort of metal make up the spine rather than traditional folding-technique steel; very tiny knicks can be seen along the razor's edge, but the flats of the sword appears absolutely impeccable. Strangely, the blade lacks a hiltguard and merely has a handle, which is made out of a very bright crimson lacking any other sort of patterning. From the bottom of the hilt falls a string, at the end of which a red bell gently rings.
[b]Shikai: [/b]"Rise, Akaiyousei!". Upon activation, both Akaiyousei and Sayuri are immediately consumed by a burst of flame, which slowly burns away to reveal the changes. Akaiyousei has developed into a massive scimitar with a far broader blade than its unreleased form, now colored a bright crimson, with a hooked and jagged edge; the kanji for red is inked upon the flat of the blade in black.
Instead of a handle,Akaiyousei now locks into a wrist-mounted piece of armor that develops upon Sayuri, who burns away her previous clothing in the transformation in favor of form-fitting red armor made of the same substance as Akaiyousei.
As Akaiyousei strikes an opponent, the clashing reiatsu causes it to ignite, with larger flames appearing as stronger blows are parried and struck; these flames are channeled up the blade and through Sayuri's wrist into the rest of her armor, where the excess power is stored. This extra power can be used to repair the armor as it breaks, or used to pad certain areas to reduce the strength of a blow as it hits.
If Sayuri is allowed to build up enough flame within her armor, eventually she will enter the Second Stage of her shikai, which transforms her red armor into a different, somewhat skimpier set that covers her with wings of flame. In Second Stage, all of her excess reiatsu is put towards pure speed and power, with very little directed towards active defense; Second Stage is very much an 'all or nothing' mode, where she attempts to destroy the opponent quickly.
[b]Bankai: [/b][i]Tsubasa no Akaiyousei. [/i]As Sayuri lacks complete control over her Bankai, there are specific conditions to its activation; Namely, she must already be in the Second State of her Shikai. In Bankai state, [i]Tsubasa no Akaiyousei [/i]splits into two seperate scimitars, both of which being smaller than the original, but far sharper. Sayuri's armor once again changes, this time becoming molten metal that glows brightly white as it shifts like liquid to offer Sayuri protection. A pair of massive red wings made up of flame sprout from her back and curve over her head, forming a dome-like defensive shield that moves to block incoming attacks; the wings can be merged with the swords in order to create a pair of massive flaming sabres, at the cost of sacrificing even more defense for raw power.
While in Bankai form, Sayuri's flames leach reiatsu from their opponents in order to grow even larger, granting her more power and allowing her to heal her wounds by harming her enemies; her attacks, however, now burn a massive amount of reiatsu in order to work in exchange. This leads to a scenario where Sayuri must hit with every attack in order to stay in Bankai, as only by leaching power from the opponent can she pay the costs it requires to keep the form activated.
[b]Character Appearances: [/b]Sayuri is a rather short girl, standing at about five-foot even with a face that appears to be about eighteen, if not slightly younger. She has long vibrantly red hair that falls down about halfway down her back, which is kept expertly groomed; she usually wears a hairclip of a crimson lotus blossom on the right side of her head, which pushes some of the hair to her left and almost hides her left, rather green, eye. She is slightly tanned, giving the impression of one with a very pale natural skin having spent a fair amount of time in the sun, but still has a rather smooth, well-taken care of complexion. Her mouth is rather large and usually pulled into a sardonic smile, generally with a snaggletooth hanging out at the same time.
Her shinigami robe is rather different than usual, boasting extended sleeves that hang far past her hands and a far longer top, to the point where it almost appears as a sort of dress. Her leggings are less baggy than the usual variety, but still provide the ability to move around easily; her zanpaktou is holstered horizontally across her back, from the waist.
[b]Personality: [/b]Sayuri is rather upbeat and fun, not unlike one would expect as Captain Yachiru's second. That said, unlike her captain she is also capable of being subdued, and is always the first person to attend to work before anything else- even more so, she's likely to trap [i]other [/i]people into working as well, generally by manipulating them subtly. She is an incredibly positive individual, though at the same time being rather mature- she isn't naive in the slightest, just nice. Some have noticed this is a strangely intimidating quality about her- since her default mood is happy and kind, nobody is entirely certain when she actually is annoyed, irritated or plotting revenge. Her smile is almost totally omnipresent, which leads some to mistrust her under the idea that she's hiding something.
Of course, when it comes to problems, Sayuri is just as likely to hit them, being a member of 11th Division. She enjoys the solutions to problems being simple, whether it's simply cutting to the chase by asking someone something out of the blue- or attacking them. She has a measure of unpredictability about her that other people dislike.
[b]Background Information: [/b]Sayuri was born to the noble Hideyoshi clan, an ancient lineage of great leaders and warriors. Though her parents hoped for a son to carry on the name, she was the only child born to them, and as such enrolled in Shinigami academy.
Through her schooling, she was known as a very pleasant, quiet child who excelled at all of her work- though they noticed, perhaps with a little apprehension, she was a little [i]to [/i]good at being able to bend people to their will. With such a political mastermind being slowly reared up, [i]nobody [/i]saw her joining of the 11th division coming.
Sayuri shot up the ranks as she made friends with the Captain of the division and made her skill in direct combat known. While the girl normally appeared passive, she was ruthless in sparring matches, absolutely destroying her competitors. As it is, she has increased in power significantly lately, even attaining a Bankai, underdeveloped though it might be.
[b]Special and/or Unique Abilities:[/b]
[i]Master Swordsmanship Specialist[/i] - Sayuri has immense talent in Zanjutsu. and is quite easily the best swordswoman in her division outside of her captain. Her fighting style is noted to be reckless, focused on pressing the opponent into a tight situation where they might make mistakes while also weathering any blows that they may achieve in retaliation; despite that, she is still incredibly graceful and unlike most members of the eleventh division, makes use of actual sword style and technique.

[i]Shunpo - [/i]While not a specialist in the technique, Sayuri is very capable of using shunpo to its full effectiveness in combat. This is most often used in order to get a better direction of attack on a difficult enemy, or to overwhelm an opponent by causing them to question the direction a next attack may take.

[i]Enhanced Endurance - [/i]Like all members of 11th division, Sayuri is taught to fight until blood fills her lungs, then fight more. She is capable of taking a massive amount of pain before she is forced to stop fighting, and is always capable of getting up again if knocked down. Sayuri is capable of taking a very large amount of damage before her focus begins to waver in the slightest.

[i]Keen Intellect - [/i]Sayuri is surprisingly cunning, especially in ways most people wouldn't expect from an eleventh-division fighter. She makes liberal use of traps in her fighting, and is not above using perceived enemy flaws to augment her attack style. She is rather knowledgeable about most areas of life as a result of her training, and is very rarely caught unawares.

[i]Great Spiritual Power- [/i]Even for a lieutenant, Sayuri has an unusually powerful reiryoku, especially in the middle of combat. This allows her to knock her opponents off-kilter, especially when they fail to expect the level of power from her that she can emit. Despite this, Sayuri has little control over her reiryoku and is incapable of using most of it to its true potential.

As an added bonus, water can be absorbed in to the blade from the surrounding area to increase it's power.[/size]
[size=3]The only change in appearance is the blade turning in to water and becoming a straight double edged sword rather than a katana. (when using certain abilities the water does not take the form of a blade)[/spoiler]

[spoiler=[b]Character Appearance[/b]: ][/size][img]http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2804/4309754517_7d3de22f02.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Personality[/b]: Daichi is a captain who prefers to do things without violence, even against Hollow, which leads others to believe he is weak, but the people who have seen him fight all agree that it is best to stay on his good side. [/font][/size][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Despite his hate for violence he seems to believe that sparring is a good thing, nobody seems to know why.[/font][/size][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] Though not nearly as much as [/font]Shunsui Kyōraku, [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]he is more laid back that most captains and seems to enjoy visiting the material world. [/font][/size]
[size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Background Information[/b]: Not much is known about Daichi from before he became a soul reaper, not because he is misterious or anything like that, simply because nothing of interest happened before he joined the shinigami accademy. He bareley had enough rietsu to qualify for the shinigami accademy and passed with below average grades. When he finaly graduated he was an unseated officer. Because of his dislike for meaningless fighting Daichi never really made an impression on the higher ups and never got through the ranks until the day when he was in a scouting trip through Hueco Mundo with his squads vice captain, 3rd seat and 3 other unseated shinigami. On the trip the group was attacked by a powerfull hollow who seriously wounded the vice captain and killed the others in full on combat. Daichi then revealed the fruit of his training and killed the arrancar with little more than a few bruises. He was quickly made in to a vice captain and soon after, a captain.
[b]Special and/or Unique Abilities[/b]: Daichi's Zanjutsu and Shunpo are both about average for a captain, however his Kidou is considerably powerfull. He has shown the ability to perform as high as number 87 without an incantation. He has, on multiple occasions, combined lightning kidou with his zanpaktou's water to increase it's power.[/font][/size]
