Name: Oboro, Shiro
Physical Age: 16
Real Age: ~300
Gender: Male
Division and Rank:
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 105 lbs
Appearance:
Bio and Personality: Shiro was a young swordsman in the Tokugawa army while in life, where he was a samurai serving directly under the prestigious lord. Shiro learned multiple skills, such as how to wield a blade. In doing so he became an assassin under the Tokugawa, killing many of his master's enemies. However, due to the fear of betrayal in the Tokugawa ranks, the lord Shiro served under ordered him killed. Shiro had no intention of betraying his lord, but when he was threatened with death, Shiro chose to fight back. Despite fighting valiantly, he couldn't defeat thousands of samurai, eventually he was killed. Shiro eventually was reborn in Rukongai, and trained to defend himself from anything that would harm him. Shiro's immense reiatsu was quickly noticed and he was asked to attend the Shinigami Academy. Shiro eventually graduated at the top of his class in all areas, mainly Zanjutsu and Kido.
Shiro is somewhat cold and distant, but he is also kind and caring, and very honorable, doing only what he knows in his heart to be right. Shiro hates to be called Captain Oboro, Captain Shiro, etc, and instead prefers to be called just by his name, Shiro. Shiro gets along most well with his lieutenant, whom he trusts not only with his life but his secrets. While the memories of his past have vanished from his mind, Shiro still hates to kill, and often only attempts to incapacitate his opponents due to this somewhat pacifist nature.
In Battle Characteristics: In battle, Shiro is very tactical minded, despite his Zanpakuto being more melee oriented than Kido. Shiro often attempts to assess the situation before releasing his Zanpakuto for battle. Shiro is also quite respectful, and often avoids killing if it can be. Though he avoids killing, this does not mean Shiro is weak, to the contrary, he's quite strong, and is possibly one of the fastest captains in the Gotei 13.
Zanpakutou
Zanpakutou Name: Yuzuruha (Gentle Girl)
Sealed Zanpakutou: In her normal form, Yuzuruha appears to be a normal katana-length blade, albeit with a design on the handle mimicking a fox's tail spinning around the blade. The blade has no distinguishable markings, but the hilt is wrapped in a green and blue cloth, matching the colors of Yuzuruha's Kimono in her spirit form. Aside from that, the blade is not truly distinguishable. The blade is normally kept in a pitch black wooden sheath that disappears when Shiro draws his blade for battle and reappears when battle is over.
Inner World: Yuzuruha lives in a small area that either takes the form of an open field full of wheat or a large and overgrown forest. The only constant in her world is a Shinto shrine where Yuzuruha is found. Yuzuruha often sits there and waits for Shiro to appear so that she may flirt with him, much to Shiro's chagrin.
Zanpakutou Looks:
-Shikai-
Release Phrase: "Run along the sky, Yuzuruha."
Shikai Appearance: When released, the blade stays the same length, but the hilt changes to where it appears a white, matching Yuzuruha's spirits hair and skin color and gaining a small tuft of hair that appears like a white fox tail.
Shikai Abilities: Yuzuruha allows Shiro to be able to create illusions which allow him to trick his opponents in battle. But Shiro does have to use his energy to create the blades of wind for his sword and the illusions to trick his enemies.
Special Attacks:
-Kage no Shikkyakuha (Shadow of Fallen Leaves): Shiro creates an illusion of leaves all around his enemies and completely disappears from sight. While his enemies try to find him, Shiro closes the distance between him and his foes and slashes them with his sword. However, the longer the illusion is held the more reiatsu is used, thus this technique could effectively drain Shiro.
-Bankai-
Bankai Name: Kitsuneouhi Yuzuruha (Fox Queen Yuzuruha)
Bankai Appearance: In this form, Yuzuruha changes to the length of an Okatana, and it's hilt gains several more hair tufts, again appearing like fox tails. Shiro also gains a fox tail made of his own reiatsu as well as golden eyes, matching those of Yuzuruha's spirit form.
Bankai Abilities: Aside from giving Shiro a massive increase in strength and speed, Yuzuruha's illusionary abilities are also expanded to where multiple targets can be infected by the same illusion as well as targets feeling pain that is caused in those very illusions. However, due to the increased power, Yuzuruha also requires much of Shiro's reiatsu to be used effectively in battle, thus leaving him drained and unable to battle afterwords. Also, the Bankai's illusionary abilities take some time to for Shiro to recharge after using each one, making it difficult to use the illusions in an extended battle.
Special Attacks:
-Advanced Kage no Shikkyakuha: Shiro is now able to use this illusion on several of his foes at once, tricking them all with the falling leaves. This allows him to deal with groups more effectively than single members, but comes at the downside of using more reiatsu when used groups.
-Kyokkai (Distortion): Yuzuruha's ultimate attack. Shiro creates numerous illusions of himself while he remains stationary. These illusionary Shiros then send slashes and blasts of wind at his foes as well as attacking them head on. This attack goes in all directions thus making a sneak attack on Shiro impossible. However, when Shiro finishes using this technique, he is left completely drained of energy, as his Zanpakuto returns to its sealed state right after usage.
