Yagami, Jin

Name: Jin Yagami
Age: he was 17 when he died and has been dead for nearly two years
Height: 6ft 4inchs
Weight: 11 and a 1/2 stone
Gender: Male

Personality: Jin is a moderately quite guy he strives to achieve but only because he likes having the ability to overcome the challenges that are thrown his way, with no real passion or aim he's usually very laid back. Faliure hits him hard he dosn't like to lose at things (who does i suppose) but when he does he'll run the scenario around his head over and over till he can anylyse his mistakes and work out a way around them next time. he enjoys the company of others feeling the most comfortable in a humoured atmosphere, but in battle he has no time for jokes, althought usually laid back when challenged he will always try to defeat his enemy quickly and efficiently having no time for those who oppose him. on saying that he's not the kind of guy with an overbearing mindset (get in my way your dead) he enjoys the occasional friendly challenge or even a light rivalry but those who oppose him in an aggressive manner must always be dealt with without mercy.

Appearance: He posseses quite a tall frame with an athletic build. Although not particualrly muscular his physique does hide a suprising level of strength he has soft hazel brown eyes and a lightly tanned complexion his hair is usually kept short although at one point he did have long tangled dreadlocks which he kept neatly behind him tied up, he can usually be seen wearing his shinigami uniform but when he was alive back in the material world he was partial to wearing darker colours with outfits comprised of jeans, a shirt or other short sleeved top and usually a hooded jacket over the top.

Sealed Zanpakuto: a polished katana blade of longer than average length it ends with a hand guard in the shape of two butterfly wings the hand guard being attached to a midnight blackhilt with a soft fabric of a fractionally lighter shade wrapped around it. this wrapping is edged with a red thread.

History/Background: Jin lived a preety complacent life, he went to school in tokyo which is where he was born, his mother and father were scientists working for a large pharmaceutical company they had been transferred from england to Tokyo to be closer to a project they were working on, they had varied hours so much of his time was spent alone or when he was younger with his nanny Li song, she was very close too him. In his younger years he had taken alot of abuse at school for being so quite and reading much of the time, but no matter how hard it got she'd always managed to nurse him through it and keep him cheerful. when he was 10 she was mugged returning home after grocery shopping unfortunately even after handing over her valuables the mugger had wanted more, making moves toward raping her she had not been a very strong woman but she did have her pride and refused him in his efforts resulting in her murder. this news crushed Jin pushing him into a deep depression, he refused to eat or drink, didnt talk to anyone and wouldn't even leave his bed for the first week, but he overcame it through remembering the way Li song had treated him and made him feel, memories of her gave him strength and from then on he always lived for optimism enjoying humour and became more sociable. His parents didnt replace the nanny deeming him old enough to look after himself at his age so from there on he became much more independant organising his affairs and cooking for him and his smaller sister Jade who was nearly 4 years younger than him and he was vey protective of her. They shared a strong bond, each day after dinner they would spend at least an hour or two in each others company like clockwork partaking in varied activities. Time passed and Jin moved further through education his life uneventful and monotonous, he enjoyed spending time with his friends during school hours but didnt go out that much out side of school due to feeling he had to take care of Jade. Other than his sister, chores and his studies he found himself with little else to do. It was at age 17 that he died, he was coming home from college, stood on the escalator moving towards the platform to get the train home, the same train he'd caught everyday for the past two years. There was a commotion behind him at the top of the escalator a man had jumped over the barriers in the hopes of avoiding purchase of a ticket and was now running toward the escalator trying to avoid the guard. He reached the top of the motorised staircase shoving the patrons of the subway from his path knocking people in every direction before reaching Jin, at this point the guards had closed in and the mans frenzied panic became intensified he pushed past Jin with an over aggressive motion that sent Jin tumbling down the metal steps sounds of ligaments tearing and bones splintering filled the subway to the horrified gasps of onlookers. The corpse finally came to a standstill at the base of the escalator the limp broken limbs lay crumpled in horrifically unnatutal angles strewn with blood from the sickening hollow now apparent on Jins cracked skull.

It was on that day that Jin entered Rukongai he was at a loss as to his environment unable to fathom what possible realm this could be as he'd had no believe in life after death as a living man. the villagers of rukongai clearly used to this reaction from new residents quickly welcomed Jin explaining to him his new home. he settled in quickly happy to do the mundane chores that the villagers asked of him in return for food and shelter until he saw it, a shinigami walking by in the streets of rukongai, the illuminating authority of his strides inspired Jin, the way this mans mere presence was able to push the air from his lungs called to him, jin knew his newest goal it was to become one of them..........A shinigami. it was shortly after this that he joined the shinigami academy which brings us to the present day in Jins life.

Shikai

Call out phrase: Agitarsi, Suisho Kochou (Flutter, Crystal Butterfly)

Description of released form:
Suisho kochou is a control/kidou type
when released the blade glows for a couple of seconds before the whole sword (blade guard and hilt) disperse into five identicle indigo coloured butterflys that have the appearance of being made of a crystal material. the five butterfly hover over Jin circling his head he can guide they're movement with reiatsu embued hand movements. Each butterfly is about 3/4 of a ft in length with a wing span of 1 1/2 ft theyre edges are razor sharp allowing them to be used for cutting e.g a fly by slicing but this is rarely ever used as it is too open and in comparison to something like flash step too slow (but speed is proportional to spiritpower so if Jin has a higher spiripower he will have an edge in speed of Shikai). Although it is useful for killing many weak enemies quickly with a low reiatsu cost. When Suisho kochou is released Jin relies mainly on his strong kidou skills for offense and defense to make up for his lack of a katana he also uses his impressive level of shunpo for evasion.

Ability 1: Resonation, this is Suisho kochou's primary ability.The five butterflies each give of a note at an extremely high yet specific pitch, in cases where the enemy is much weaker than Jin (large difference in spiritual pressure's) this alone can cause unconsciousness but it also causes some of the bonds between the sprit particles to split allowing the butterfly's to shatter into shard's the movement of which Jin then controls(once again through Reiatsu imbued hand movements) he uses these shards to stab and shred at the enemy with the possibility of lacerating them hundreds of times within seconds. The resonance frequency required to split the bonds in the butterflies changes each time the Zan-pak-tou is release avoiding the possibility of an enemy learning it and using it to they're advantage. Hearing the noise emitted by the Zan-pak-tou to shatter the butterflies is an extremely painful experience, and can leave on with splitting headache’s, Jin however automatically find himself with a build-up of reiatsu at his ears and due to this having the same signature as the reiatsu used to create the sound via his shikai the noise is blocked to him. This is something impossible for others too perform unless they have some kind of shikai or bankai ability that allows them too imitate Jin’s reiatsu signature.

Ability 2: Corrode, the butteflies each release a cloud of neon green corrosive gas which impairs the enemy's vision as its thick and opaque possibly blinding them if if the eye suffers prolonged exposure whilst also burning at the victims flesh. Each butterfly individually releases a relitively small amount off gas but when two or three release it together the size becomes much more imposing. usually used as an ambushing technique, it does moderate damage to strong enemies incresing the longer they stay enveloped in the cloud but is usually used as a set up for another strike due to the impaired vision it causes. although very effiecient at getting rid of large populations of weakling's the reiatsu cost of the move make's it and unsuitable choice for a task like that. The damage this attack does is increased by a larger difference in spiritual pressure.

Ability 3: Refract, This is the ability of his crystal butterflies to refract and alter any energy based attacks with which they come into contact, it requires the butterfly to be in the Path of the attack and once hit by it the butterfly will either disperse the energy of use a flap of it’s wings to redirect it back towards the source, this ability only works against attacks within reason and must be used with sensibility for example it could block VC kidou up to 60 and Captain kidou up to 30 but one also has too consider that the opponents spiritual pressure levels/rank will also affect the power of they’re energy attacks and thus this will alter what can and cannot be blocked. The butterflies can also use this ability against shikai attacks but then there is a much greater chance of them being overpowered by it, if a butterfly is overpowered by an attack it will shatter into the shard form and disperse the energy or if the attack was much greater in power it will shatter the butterfly and continue it’s path. Any butterflies shattered through this method cannot reform for 2 Post’s

Call out phrase for Bankai: Flutter, Great Crystal butterfly

Description of the Bankai: Now his Katana reforms into 1 single crystal butterfly but it is much larger, about 15 metres in height with a wingspan of 25m it can now split up into 20 crystal butterflies that circle the shinigami. Obviously with this size the power behind the noise induced by the shatter command is increased exponentially as is the amount of shard’s produced.

Abilities:

Ability 1:
Crystal Clear focus: in the backs of his hand’s it is now possible to see 1 small violet butterfly embedded in each, these small butterflies interfere with the circulation of reiatsu around the body, using they crystalline structure to focus the reiatsu and intensify it thus boosting the power behind Jin’s reiatsu and strengthening the previous techniques of his Shikai (much like the way lenses are used to focus light). The butterflies on the backs of his hands begin to glow whilst this process is happening because all the time the focussing process becomes more and more refined, the progress through which can be measured by how far up the butterflies is lit up, when the butterflies are full The power behind Jin’s attack’s will be at they’re peak and truly ferocious. This process due to it enhancing his pure reiatsu will influence any spirit based attack’s including kidou. To fill the crystal butterflies and reach peak power takes at least 5 post’s

Ability 2: Don’t think this has been achieved yet.



Rp sample: Another day, another chore. Once again Jin had been assigned the job of patrolling Rukongai a moderately uneventful practice that left him free to watch the happy villager go about they’re daily routines. These slums were a poverty stricken place only two sectors in from the poorest outskirts, they were home to crime and disease backwater alleys filled with scum and death. Nothing seemed to prosper here the residents usually either ending up dead or on the short path through a career in crime, but that was the life of Rukongai and no matter how hard it got the peasants lived it with a smile. That was something that had always impressed Jin when he’d lived here the way that they managed to pull through the gruelling struggle that formed the everyday life on these streets without ever becoming depressed, a few steps in any direction and it wasn’t long before you’d hear the beginning note’s of some cheery shanty as the civilians sang they’re work away.

As bountiful a feeding ground as soul society was it was rare for it to experience the visiting of hollow. Filled with unarmed souls just ripe for the plucking but guarded by the Gotei 13 it proved an impressive deterrent to the demonic predators, upon saying that it wasn’t like there were never any hollow, there were always the odd few around the more hot-headed of the hollow population, breaking through to prove they’re worth and feed they’re lust for power but on the most part they stuck to the material world less abundant but also the less dangerous of the two or feeding on they’re brethren in the desert’s of Hueco Mundo.

As Jin walked the dusty street’s from the corner of his eye he noted a stream of people panic stricken and running out the entrance to one of Rukongai’s many back alley’s he smiled at the clear sign of trouble, a signal that his day wasn’t too be as boring as he’d first expected. As much as he hated the work of patrol it was even worse when all he had for entertainment was the sound of the idle chatter of the villagers.

Within a second he reached the source of the trouble using Hohou to stand above the alley. As he gazed down he saw what had instigated the panic the small sleek frame of a hollow lay beneath him feeding on the soul it had recently ensnared. The thin aerodynamic frame of a cheetah or some member of that big cat family, with a mask to match. The demon sniffed the air, sensing the new comer’s reiatsu it turned and fled running the backwater ally’s with uncanny speed. Jin wouldn’t permit that, a beast like this running the street’s of Rukongai was just too much of a threat it had too be stopped. He took off after it the wind whipping past his face as he deftly flash stepped through the tight confines, swiftly eluding the approaching turns never once missing a step his agility always compensating for him. The blurred surrounding flashed by just intertwining blocks of colour melding from one to the next as his focus stayed locked on his prey never letting the sprinting figure leave his line of vision.

His breathing was ragged and staggered the air passing him by so quickly he was having a hard time inhaling it, the aroma’s of his surrounding never able to grasp his nostril’s leaving him void of smell nothing concerning him other than his thought’s of catching his prey, he began pouring more Reiatsu to his lower limbs increasing further his speed, his moments nothing but a blur to passers by, slowly gaining on the creature, it had to be at least Adjuchas class to be keeping ahead of him at this speed, the distance between then becoming neither shortened nor stretched they were matched foot fall for foot fall. Jin pounded through the air his powerful movement ripping at his muscles, he wasn’t yet used to travelling at these speed’s yet and it was definitely taking its toll his leg’s becoming less and less responsive to his commands at the gap between the two un-sightable figures began to close. He was doing it finally closing in upon his victim, he knew what he had to do…..but could he manage it, so far he kept all his focus in maintaining his speed was it even possible to perform a kidou simultaneously? Well he was about too find out.

“Hadou Number 23: 36 Pound cannon”

The incantation ripping through his throat as a rasp his voice box left as nothing more than a dried hunk of flesh from the harsh currents he had forcibly inhaled down his throat. The condensed blade of wind shot from his hand slicing through the fleeing hollow cleaving it in two, Jin skidded too a halt able to do nothing more than pant trying to revive his oxygen deprived organs. As the hollow scattered to the wind, nothing left but it decomposing carcass Jin released his Hohou dropping to the floor, as he moved to walk away from the scene wanting to find a bench to rest his weary muscles he saw something flutter in the wind. It was a seal, half attached to the back of the rapidly disintegrating hollow’s head, and what was more Jin recognised the symbol it was a control seal………..someone had been puppeteering this hollow.

“Ahh shit” he sighed under the realisation that he’d just managed to stumble upon even more work.
