I know this is super late, but I figured since we're running out of characters (so to speak with people dropping and all) that I could ask this and not wake up tomorrow with a bag over my head and be in someone's basement:

Could I make an app for Byakuya?

Isamy - In the Castle of Necrophades.

 

 

Correction; she's in her own castle, which is separate from the Castle of Necrophades.

 

@Sonic: Roxas just did that that, I believe~

 

@Eros Thanatos: Well, I would, but to be honest, how are you gonna enter the story? If he was with the Counter Corps, then he'd probably have been noticed by Kenpachi. Which he wasn't. So, how?

Well, Byakuya is incredibly intelligent.  He has a vast knowledge for varying forms of Kido, so perhaps he concealed his presence until now because he wanted to fully analyze the situation, his allies, and his combatants?

Fair enough, I suppose. Provide your app and you'll be accepted - it'll be assumed that you were there to listen to Emiya's instructions, obtain the ring, and whatnot. It shouldn't take too long to find someone to join up with.

 

Oh, but can you please weaken Byakuya? I know what he's capable of, so maybe you can heavily weaken his spiritual powers or add extreme drawbacks to bring him down to the level of the others, just like Itsu Fudo. Something like that anyway.

More than fair.  I plan on him dying off, but I wanted someone else to play with Kenpachi.  I'll have the app up later today.

I need to figure out what Sora should do. Now that he's split up from Kenpachi and Yachiru, I can either have him help freeze the river because he knows Blizzard, or he could team up with Itsu in the others, because I assume that they'll eventually confront Melvin, and Sora really does need to defeat the last remnant of 4Kids.

What does Sora have against 4Kids?

And a Fighter would be great, since so far, Itsu's team has a Rogue (Alexander), a Ranger (Foster), a Sorceress (Sarah), and a Cleric (Itsu).

Application:

 

"Shall I tell you the difference between you and I? It's level. It's like the story of the monkey trying to capture the moon. No matter how he struggles, it's just the moon's reflection on the water he sees. So he only sinks into the water. Time after time, he sinks."


Username:  Eros Thanatos


Name:  Kuchiki Byakuya


Age:  Unknown.  Appears to be in his early thirties.


Gender:  Male


Appearance:  Byakuya has slate gray eyes and long black hair, which he keeps up in intricate white headpieces called kenseikan, which symbolize his nobility as the head of the Kuchiki Clan, wearing one on top of his head and another two on the right side.  In addition to the standard captain uniform, he wears a white scarf, which is woven by the master weaver Tsujishirō Kuroemon III.  The scarf is made from silver-white, windflower light silk and is a family heirloom, having been handed down from generation to generation and given to each head of the Kuchiki Clan.  He wears fingerless white tekkou which only cover the back of his hands.  He wears a variation of the captain haori, featuring a high collar with light gold edges and small, light gold tassels attached to the corners.


Origin:  http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Byakuya_Kuchiki

 

Biography:  Byakuya found himself to be quite agitated when the Kingdom Key was stolen.  When he learned of it's disappearance and the sudden appearance of one called Emiya he approached.  He would not stand Idly by while Seireitei was disturbed of it's peace.  He immediately joined the Counter Corps, unknown to his comrade and Captain Commander Kenpachi Zaraki (in his universe).  He kept his distance so that he might observe the strengths and weaknesses of those he would not be willing to draw his blade against.  For the time being they would be allies.  But none of these warriors were suitable to fight alongside with other than a man Kenpachi had swore to fight with sometime in the future, and Kenpachi himself.  Alas, Kuchiki also denied Emiya's ring, nothing that "My mind is impenetrable.  I have seen the horrors of Hell itself and I will not be intimidated by something so trivial."  He lunged head long into the portal as one of the last members through, concealing his presence even until the Shadow Realm's castle came into view.


Personality: As the 28th Head of the Kuchiki Clan, Byakuya acts in an aristocratic manner.  He always seems serene and apathetic towards other people, even while actually deeply conflicted.  He is notably calm, even in battle.  He generally acts indifferent, bordering on arrogance, to most situations he is faced with, and rarely views his opponent as being worth his time.   Byakuya strongly believes in law and order.  As a captain of the Gotei 13 and head of one of the great noble families, he works hard for a peaceful society.  He feels that if someone in his position does not follow the rules as a good example, no one else will.  He believes that to maintain the order, all law-breakers must be punished, even if it goes against his own wishes.   In spite of his icy and regal manner, Byakuya cares for and protects those important to him.  He likes Japanese cherry blossoms, night-time walks, spicy food, and bananas, but does not like sweets.  Byakuya excels in calligraphy.


Faction: The Counter Corps


Important Artifact Stolen:  Kingdom Key

 

Powers/Equipment:  

 

Master Swordsman: Byakuya is a master of swordsmanship, possessing flawless precision and performing lethal attacks with little effort.  His sword swings do not wield as much power as Kenpachi's  But they are more aggressive and accurate.

 

Shunpo Master:  Byakuya is arguably best known for his skill in Shunpo. Having been taught by, but never beating "Goddess of Flash" Yoruichi Shihōin, he is easily one of the most proficient users of this skill in all of Soul Society.

  • Senka (閃花, Flash Blossom): A Shunpo technique where one, moving to their opponent's back, directly attacks and seals one's "Saketsu" and "Hakusui" in two rapid strikes (effectively cutting them off from their spiritual energy flow). This attack is his favorite to use. The technique is so fast, an opponent may not be able to tell whether they were attacked from the front or the back, and even an outside observer may find it impossible see the movements.
  • Utsusemi (空蝉, Cicada, referencing their molting): Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shihō. It allows for movement at great speed, leaving an afterimage behind. It is a technique taught to Byakuya by Yoruichi Shihōin.

Kidō Master: Byakuya has considerable knowledge of high level Kidō spells, casting several in quick succession, with no incantation and almost no effort, and still possessing formidable power. He has used spells up to level 81, and possesses advanced knowledge of Kidō application and consistency. He can use a low-level spell repeatedly in rapid succession and with devastating effects, as well as a counter to attacks.  however, using spells rapidly is a drain on his reiatsu and can be devastating to himself if he is too lenient.

 

Hakuda Combatant: While used less often, Byakuya is highly proficient in this area. Byakuya stealthily knocked out several Shinigami guards with a single strike each.

 

Immense Spiritual Power: He can exert an immense amount of Spiritual Pressure, which, in addition to his already admirable combat skills and finesse, makes him one of the most formidable captains. His spiritual pressure can be felt from a great distance, and it has the tendency to make people perspire in fear. It is implied by Kōga Kuchiki that he is among the few immensely strong heads of the Kuchiki Clan, further elaborating on his power level.  Note his spiritual pressure is about 1/4 of Kenpachi's at this point in time.  His Reiatsu is white.

 

Master Tactician: Byakuya is a highly perceptive fighter, almost immediately determining an opponent's attack patterns and weaknesses.  He is a crafty tactician, effectively using Kidō to confuse his opponents.  He can discern the motives and abilities of his opponents, and effectively uses his knowledge to end the battle in his favor.  

 

Enhanced Endurance: While not having the most imposing appearance compared to other Shinigami captains like Kenpachi Zaraki, Byakuya is a very resilient fighter.  While he cannot absorb nearly as much damage, Kuchiki can hold his own for a moderate amount of time.

 

Zanpakutō

Senbonzakura (千本桜, "Thousand Cherry Blossoms"): Senbonzakura is a regular katana. It has a simple cross guard, with an open frame much like a four-pane window. It has a bronze guard, with lavender hilt-wrapping, and a white sheath.

  • Shikai: It is triggered by the command "Scatter" (散れ, chire).

190px-Ep364SenbonzakuraSafeZone.png

Senbonzakura's Hurtless Area.

  • Shikai Special Ability: In its Shikai, Senbonzakura's blade separates into a thousand tiny, slender blade fragments, which fly away from the hilt, leaving only the sword's handle in Byakuya's hand. The release can be negated before it completes, as seen when Yoruichi Shihōin wrapped the blade in cloth during Byakuya's short battle with Ichigo. However, if the release completes itself, Senbonzakura is rendered near unstoppable. While the blades are supposedly too small to be seen normally, they reflect light in such a way as to resemble cherry blossom petals. By swinging Senbonzakura's hilt, Byakuya can control the blade fragments, allowing him to shred opponents at a distance and break through almost any defense. The blades can be used for defensive purposes, as they can protect Byakuya from an incoming sword swing. In order to protect Byakuya from his own attacks in both Shikai and Bankai, Senbonzakura possesses a Hurtless Area  where it does not cut anything within 85 cm of Byakuya unless he himself allows the blades to enter the area.  This leaves an opportunity for a faster opponent who notices the hurtless area to easily penetrate Byakuya's defenses and leave him helpless.
ByakuyaBankai.gifSenbonzakura Kageyoshi.
  • Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (千本桜景厳, Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms): Byakuya's Bankai is a much larger version of Senbonzakura's Shikai. To activate it, Byakuya drops his sword straight down. The sword phases into the ground, as though it were a pool of water. Energy ripples expand out, turning the surrounding area dark, and within seconds, two rows of a thousand giant blades rise up from the ground. Those thousand swords scatter, and countless flying blades pierce the enemy. No one knows the exact number of blades generated, and no one can dodge or even see the movements of these blades. The number of blades is great enough that Byakuya can simultaneously use them for offense and defense. He commonly forms them into large masses to obliterate opponents instantaneously. As they move through the air like torrents of waves, they give the appearance of cherry blossoms flowing swiftly along the wind.  Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's defensive use allows Byakuya to cover himself entirely in these tiny blades, forming a body shield.  Unlike his Shikai, his Bankai is mentally controlled. While Byakuya can control the blades with his mind alone, using his hands allows him to do so more effectively, making the blades increase in speed threefold.  Similar to his Shikai, its attack is triggered with the phrase Scatter.

 

  • Bankai Special Ability: Byakuya's Bankai has several forms, achieved by arranging the blades in different patterns. Each form presents a different advantage, such as increasing offense at the expense of defense. This variety of techniques makes Senbonzakura Kageyoshi extremely versatile. These techniques are activated by saying the name of the technique, followed by the name of his Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
  • Senkei: The true form of Senbonzakura. This unites the scattered petals into complete glowing swords, numbering in the thousands, which form four rows. These rows float just above each other, and circle around Byakuya and his opponent in a continuously moving, column-like array. It abandons defense in favor of a concentrated offense. Though visually menacing, this form is not meant for attack from all sides; rather, it concentrates his Bankai into fewer blades, thus increasing his attack power. While Byakuya can mentally control these swords, he commonly calls them to his hands for actual melee combat. When in his hand, they lose their glow, and take the form of his sealed Zanpakutō. While they seem solid in this state, the swords can just as easily dissipate back into the multitude of tiny blades they are made up of. It seems to take fewer blows from a Senkei blade to gravely injure an opponent than the multiple cuts needed from the unfocused Bankai. Senkei seals Byakuya in with his enemy, allowing neither combatant to move very far from each other, though the area is still large enough for maneuverability. The deadliest aspect of the Senkei form is that it allows for use of all the swords at the same attack level, making it a way to effectively defeat an enemy unaware of the danger of the situation. It is extremely rare for Byakuya to use this ability, doing so only when he has sworn to cut down the opponent with his very own hands.  This technique requires Byakuya's blood to activate.  This is an extremely high cost, and could kill Byakuya if he pushes himself too far.

 

  • Gōkei (吭景, Mawscape): This form increases the number of tiny blades immensely. It creates a spherical formation of innumerable blade fragments, which swirl around the opponent like a cloud before flying into them from every possible angle, leaving no blind spots and no possibility of escape. It proceeds to collapse in on itself, obliterating the opponent.

 

  • Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣, "Endscape: White Emperor Sword": This condenses each and every one of his blades into a single, potent sword, drastically increasing its cutting power. The spiritual energy and pressure released by this form is immense. The blade appears bright white, and its aura takes the form of a bird, earning it the name Hakuteiken (白帝剣,White Imperial Sword). Pure white wings form on Byakuya's back, as well as a halo-like circle, made of concentrated spiritual energy. This form's blade can create aggravated injuries in a single blow. The wings can be used for flight.

 

 

I can nerf him in other areas.  Just say so.

So, I'm assuming my second fallen knight who was surveying the area in which Counter Corps members are closest to the Castle, is destroyed? Maybe Byakuya destroyed it and took its form? Idk, just throwing ideas out there, and I'm confused if anyome actually SAW it or not.

 

Quaranir found the antelope knight, or do you mean the deer?

 

@Eros: Accepted~

 

Oh, and the map will be out later today. Or maybe early tomorrow. Depends on your timezones, really.

 

I imagine it would be tomorrow for me. While I'm asleep.
