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 (im sorry i live in britain so our units are different but ill get a converter to change it up)
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.

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. 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 (OOC:although not all that special now these will be the two main area's i work on along with spirit pressure and will be where Jin excells)
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.
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.
Rp sample: "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!.....What the hell, why'd this guy have to push me so hard if i fall i dont stand a chance" jin flung his arms out infront of him, his eyes tightly sealed locked in fear "i dont wanna die, this cant be happening, MUM,DAD, JAAAAADDEE" then confusion hit him, how had he had the chance to have all those thoughts? why hadnt the jarring pain of metal on bone coursed through him yet? and come to think of it why *sniff sniff* could he suddenly smell the sweet aroma of braised beef curry? Jin slowly opened his eyes all his other sense's screamed to him that something was out of place. His lids slowly rose to reveal the soft hazel orbs that hid behind them, everything appeared more than a little blurred......but as it came into focus the sight it revealed overwhealmed Jin so much he actually just collapsed backwards........a town ...........people............livestock this wernt the scene of a busy train station. What was this place?????, and more importantly how did he leave it, it was imperitive that he got back to see Jade she'd be worried by this point about her brothers sudden abscence. A gentle breeze ran through the town nuzzleing at the open fire's with which the villagers cooked, playfully disorientating the small particles that lay strewn on the sand laiden floor that was the carpet of his surroundings stretching far further that he could ever observe from where he sat.....but it wasnt untill this breeze tickled at his crotch that he realised something that sent waves of embarrisment coursing through him and causing his cheeks to become more than a little flushed, he hadnt noticed untill now but a good many of the villagers were in fact looking his way, he proped himself up on his elbows *beggins to look down slowly* begging his senses to have betrayed him just this once hoping with all his might that the fact that every fibre of his being knew to be true was just a lie as his eyes slowly drooped down ready to look at his current appearance only one thought could find itself into his head, playing over and over in the hopes it would be fufilled..........please.........please.........TELL ME IM NOT NAKED!!!!!
