Shinigami
Character Info
Username: Ethan Castellan
Character Name: Kira Velsana
Squad: 8
Rank: Captain
Age: 374 (appears 23, died at 29)
Sex: Female
Height: 5’ 9”
Weight: 55.2 kg
Hair Color: brown
Eye Color: hazel
Appearance:
Kira has shoulder-length dark brown hair. She has long bangs in the front, which she parts down the middle and braids into two long braids which go around her head and join in the back. She wears a regular shinigami’s kimono and hakama, except that her kimono is sleeveless and backless. She can usually be seen wearing only the kimono and hakama, and only wears her captain’s haori during formal events like meetings. Her zanpakutou and sheath are on her right at her waist.
Personality:
Kira is a firm believer in law and order, justice, and the like, due to the circumstances surrounding her death. She sees it as her duty as Squad 8’s captain to make sure that everyone is treated fairly, and to punish those who break the rules accordingly.
Despite this, she is not a very harsh person. She often talks to her squad members as if they were friends, not subordinates, and sometimes brushes off special treatment she gets as a captain.
She only fights if she deems it necessary, and prefers using Kido over physical combat. Only when absolutely necessary will she draw her sword against an enemy. It takes even more effort to goad her into releasing her bankai, as she strongly dislikes it.
Bio:
Kira was a happy girl in high school, having good grades and a caring, considerate boyfriend named Ethan. However, during her senior year, Ethan died while defending her from the school bully, who was infatuated with her. They both had knives, and Ethan killed the bully, but not before getting vein in his arm slashed open. He died in her arms, his blood pouring out of his arm all over her.
She was initially very sad, but after a year or so, managed to move on. In college she met a nice man and fell in love again with him. After steadily dating for 3 years after college, he proposed to her. She gladly accepted, and eagerly anticipated the wedding day.
Little did she know that in those 11 years after Ethan’s death, he had been watching her, and had changed greatly. He had turned into a hollow after his death, and was now a powerful Vasto Lorde class menos, near the very top of the food chain in Hueco Mundo. She was also blissfully unaware of the fact that the man she was marrying used to be one of the school bully’s followers, and that naturally, that wouldn’t go over very well with Ethan.
On her wedding day, everything went marvelously, until Ethan showed up. When he attempted to hold her hand, he ended up ripping her left hand clean off her arm, and his subsequent, accidental actions killed her and the groom. Furious that his love was now dead, he killed everyone in the church, putting out large amounts of reiatsu that alerted the shinigami.
Shortly after Ethan went back to Hueco Mundo the shinigami arrived, and performed konso on Kira and the other, numerous dead souls wandering the area. Kira woke up in the west Rukongai district and lived there for over a year until a shinigami recognized her talents and potential due to her abnormally large spiritual pressure. She was enrolled in the shinigami academy, and eventually joined the 13 court guards as squad 8’s captain.
Zanpakutou Info
Name: Aeiranto (merciless one)
Length: 30” blade, 10” handle
Type: Parasitic Kido
Sealed Form:
Shikai: “Asphyxiate, Aeiranto.”
The blade transforms into three 18-foot long, braided leather whips. Each has a long, sharp steel tip at the end. The hilt is used to control the motion of each whip independently, and does not change
Shikai Abilities:
Control: in addition to controlling the whips with the hilt they’re attached to, the whips can be independently controlled via a form of telekinesis.
Counterattack: Whips straighten and can be used to block an enemy’s attack much like a sword. Upon blocking the attack it absorbs reiatsu from the attack and uses it in a counterattack. (can only hold the reiatsu in for a limited amount of time before expelling it.)
Equilibria: when fighting stronger opponents, latching onto them with one or more whips for three seconds induces temporary paralysis and redistributes reiatsu equally between Kira and the victim.
Bankai: Monotori Aeiranto (thieving merciless one)
“Tear asunder, Monotori Aeiranto"
Bankai Abilities: passive kido amplification (must pass through zanpakutou for full effect)
Kachu Dipuri-shon (depletion vortex):
A tornado-like vortex is created by spinning the weapon rapidly. Should a victim get caught in the vortex, they will find themselves completely drained of reiatsu within a few minutes. Stronger opponents take longer to drain. The reiatsu is channeled into Kira's zanpakutou and is absorbed into her body, making her stronger.
Shubansen (endgame):
Execution of the often-fatal Shubansen attack requires precision and speed. The enemy needs to be hit three times within two minutes for the attack to work: first strike with a scythe-blade, second strike with the handle, third strike with the scythe-blade not used in the first blow. With each successive strike a different aura surrounds the opponent: yellow for first strike, orange for the second, and red for the third. Upon successful landing of all three strikes, the opponent is launched skyward.
Kira then throws her zanpakutou in the air, where it seperates into two smaller, independent scythes. The two blades fly around the opponent, attacking repeatedly from all angles while keeping them airborne - a technique Kira refers to as "juggling." From the ground Kira may use binding spells to restrain the opponent and make them easier to hit.
However strong the attack, it still requires physical contact. If Kira cannot hit an opponent or an extension of their body, she cannot use the attack.
(Note: She feels that her bankai goes against her values, and that its main ability is unfair towards her opponent. Furthermore, she thinks that her bankai dishonors the circumstances surrounding her death to an extent. She won’t use her bankai unless absolutely necessary.)
Known kido:
Bakudo: all bakudo up to 99 pt. 1
Hado: all hado up to 90
Limited knowledge of healing spells
(note: she has no left hand, but can create a hand-like extension out of condensed reiatsu, similar to kido. She can only maintain it for a short period of time when her zanpakutou is sealed, but can use it for longer periods of time when her zanpakutou is in shikai. When she uses bankai she regains her left hand. )
