--to be rewritten--
Zanpaku-to: Nandi ||Nandi's default form is a long Katana. The sheath of Nandi is a dark brown with heavy black wavy lines swirling around the sheath. ||
Shikai:
'Vous méritez de briller... Nandi.' [Shikai::Weapon...]
Nandi changes from its default form of a Katana to a long metal spear. The spear has a dark blue clothe wrapped around the end of it.
'Applique le poids...' [Shikai: Attack 1]
'Applique le poids...' is Nandi's Shikai attack. A low humming sound could be heard from the end of the spear, which allows the Zanpaku-to to use the sound waves that are generated from the spear against the opponent. The sound waves that Nandi generates slows down the opponent if it comes in contact with the spear and/or if the user sends a 'wave' of the vibrations at the opponent...
'Le pousse à la limite...' [Shikai: Attack 2]
'Le pousse à la limite...' Is the second of Nandi's attacks. Just like the first attack, it allows the user to use the sound waves generated against the opponent. But, this attack allows the sound waves to be used as a offensive attack. The attack is like a low-key sonic boom. Not powerful at all, but is able to knock a opponent off it's feet if necessary...
Bankai:(Not Obtained)--WIP--
'Chante la chanson merveilleuse…… et détruis les profondeurs mêmes de leurs âmes… Nandi...' [Bankai:: Weapon]
The Initial weapon of the Shikai is changed into a Guan Dao weapon in the Bankai stage. Her Guan Dao weapon consists of a heavy blade with a spike at the back with a notch at the spike's upper base that can catch an opponent's weapon. In addition there are often irregular serrations that lead the back edge of the blade to the spike. The blade is mounted atop a 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5-6 foot) long wooden or metal pole with a pointed metal counter weight used to balance the heavy blade and for striking on the opposite end. The blade is very deeply curved, a red sash attached at the joint of the pole and blade. The Guan Dao has nine rings along the length of the straight back edge.
Bang Sonique… [Bankai Attack:: 1]
The 'Bang Sonique' is a larger version of 'Le pousse à la limite...'. Instead of a Low-Key Sonic Boom, it is much stronger and a much wider radius.
Frénésie de bang sonique... [Bankai Attack:: 2]
An Alternative version of the 'Bang Sonique' attack. It has all of the properties of the Bang Sonique. The one factor that changes this attack from the initial ones is the fact that the boom sends out something similar to small spear-like weapons at the opponent.
Perche de bâton et de pain... [Bankai Attack:: 3]
The 'Perche de bâton et de pain' is a more powerful version of 'Applique le poids...'. This attack is in a larger variety than the Shikai.
Special Accessories: ||None||
Skills:
Sound/Vibration Manipulation: Ntozake has been able to have some mastery of her Zanpaku-to's Main Theme, which has to do with sounds and vibrations. As she learned how to do this, she has developed some techniques that are centered along with the theme.
---Paume Paralysante: This ability allows her to channel the same type soundwaves that are used in her defensive shikai attack ('Applique le poids') to her limbs. This is a hand-to-hand combat ability that allows Ntozake to be able to slow down her opposition in Hakuda.
---Ngokushesha-shukumisa:Similar to shunpo, this move allows Ntozake to 'ride' on soundwaves. It's a slower version of shunpo, and she has not yet perfected it.
Shunpo: Flash Steps...
Hakudo: Ntozake's Fighting Style is a mixture of Boxing and Street Fighting. Her style greatly mirrors the MMA Fighter, Kimbo Slice. This is her most common fighting style. Her second style is the most 'organized one', that she rarely uses, Xingyiquan.
Abilities: Since she was very young, Ntozake always had a sixth sense. She was able to see into the paranormal, which only fueled her imagination. She is very intelligent and has good eyesight.
Personality: Ntozake is very kind. She isn't so sweet, since she isn't very trusting of anyone but when she really trusts someone, she'll be the sweetest to them. Ntozake is very intelligent kid, she knows 4 Languages (English, French, Zulu, Chinese). You don't ever see her without a book in her hands, since this is due to her love of science and the paranormal. At times, Ntozake can be very silent and not wanting to talk to anyone but with other times, she could be very talkative. The young girl has a very rebellious streak in her, (If she is placed with too many rules. XD) she doesn't like to be held back when she has something good for herself. She has great confidence in herself and her abilities as a Shinigami.
Biography/History:
Ntozake Housou-Emeagwali was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. She is of Zulu descent, since her father is from the one of the Zulu tribes. He came from one of the villages east of Johannesburg. There were a couple of times she visited the village, but that was it. Her father moved into the city because he wanted to escape the village life, this was when he was 17. Her mother, she’s originally from South Africa but has lived in France for most of her life. She was a Biochemist. She came from a good family and everything. She’s the one that had first introduced her to the wonderful world of science… She moved away from Johannesburg when she was 4 Years Old. Her mother landed a job back in France, so they moved there. When she lived in France, she didn’t have many friends, just a couple. This was due to the fact that she was always reading or doing something out of the norm like collection bugs or digging through her mothers' study to tinker with something. Around the time when she was 7, she began to take Martial Arts Classes, studying the style of Xingyiquan. At this time, she began to discover that she could see spirits and the paranormal, which wasn't a odd thing since Zulu's often treasured having a connection with the spiritual. By the time she was 12, her father passed away of natural causes. This hurt my mother and me, hard. It even threw her in a depression that lasted for a long time. Anyway, by the time she was 14, her mother re-married to some guy and they relocated to the Bahamas…
When they were in the Bahamas... everything seemed perfect, though she did become a bit rebellious. She stayed out late and basically was running around like some wild child. This worried her mother so and angered her step-father. One day when she came from home from school step-father was waiting... Waiting on her, which was very unusual for him to do, since he wasn't close to Ntozake in anyway. If anything, he tried to avoid her as much as possible. Suddenly, in a mad rage, he stabbed her fifty times and defiled and mutilated her body. She was killed that day, in her living room... He dragged her body into his trunk and dumped he on the beach, to be found.
