Appearance: Slender and youthful, Akira is an golden-eyed, black-haired young women. As a child of a noble house of the Seireitei, Akira wears a variety of fine garments. The quality of her clothing is threadbare compared to those from stronger noble houses, but dazzling to the average citizen. Typically, she wears a golden orange and dark red outfit combining various Southeast Asian clothing styles. It is designed to allow for increased mobility compared to a Shihakusho. The boots are lightly armored, complemented by knee and elbow guards. A simple gold ornament keeps her hair neatly held together.

Reiatsu

Color: Ember Red
Shape: Appears as a trail of faded liquid light, a sort of afterglow in places where her body has been,. Similar to the movie Tron: Legacy.

Personality: Confident and strong-willed, outgoing and curious. These are words that define Akira.

Highly assured of her own ability, Akira is not easily dissuaded from a challenge and is excited by the prospect of one. Attempts to intimidate or cow her usually fail. At the same time, her self-assurance make her careless and carefree. She rarely feels the need to grow stronger or take personal precautions.

She is somewhat emotionally insecure about her own nature, despite her rational knowledge of nature. As a unique being, she is already separated from most people. Since she has no real family, home, or past, nothing that is truly hers. In spite of this fact, she is still a generous and kind spirit with a positive approach to life.

Given her feeling of owning nothing, Akira has a strong penchant for collecting beautiful or rare objects, ranging from jewelry to clothing to weapons. She prefers things that she can use, wear, or experience. For example, given the choice between an unusual but worthless stone and a famous and priceless painting, Akira would choose the stone.

She enjoys the prospect of winning anything, be it a game or a battle, and is highly competitive. In combat, she tends to use brute force methods and can be goaded into error.

Biography: Shinoda Akira was born through bio-engineering by Raizo Shinoda, the former head of the Shinoda House. Her body was crafted to be more powerful, quick, intelligent, and resilient using genetic samples from a wide range of organisms. The former Captain of the Tenth Division used his Byakuhou technique to reincarnate into her, beginning a cycle with an unknown future.

She was born fully formed at the developmental stage of a young adult. She had no real memories. Immediately after birth, Raizo reincarnated into her body. This occurred in the Human World - soon thereafter, Raizo's comrade Kumori Shuren arrived. Having been instructed to be there at Raizo's behest, he took Akira into his care.

Combat Style:Akira's preferred style is towards hits that engage her superior strength and stamina. She is an aggressive fighter, highly confident in her own abilities and powers. She does not use her unreleased Zanpakuto with much dexterity, mainly using it to create hand-to-hand combat openings. While some fighters prefer to have a diverse array of skills, Akira will focus on the ones she enjoys the most at the margin. This creates major openings for a skilled analyst of her combat style.

Special Traits:

Byakuhou (白鵬, White Phoenix): A technique created by Raizo Shinoda, a master Tennin of historical prowess. It allows the user to preserve their memory and cognitive patterns in the quantum energy frequencies of reiatsu. In effect, this causes the soul to lose its physical form and ascend into an ethereal form outside of the traditional cycle of souls between the world of the living and the dead. This form is not stable, and the user must either reform their body from memory (possible if the user is a master Tennin), or to reincarnate into a newly born body. Akira was born through this process. At the present, she has two other minds within hers (Raizo Shinoda and Tetsuya Sajin). She can only commune with Raizo, but she can access the sum knowledge of both.

Enhanced Physiology: Akira has been specially genetically engineered to be much more powerful, durable, and cognitive than other beings. Her ancestor, Raizo, took samples from creatures with the strongest bone structure, fastest neurons, most efficient metabolisms, etc., and synthesized them into a single being.

Akira is a much more resilient opponent compared to others due to her bio-engineered physiology. She weighs nearly twice what her normal body weight should be because of how dense her body's skin and bones are. She possesses dexterity and flexibility of the same level as a normal humanoid; but, because of the strength needed to move her mass in that manner, she is inherently stronger. She can take powerful blunt trauma and suffer minimal to no injuries.

Her sensory perception is also augmented. Akira can see in more wavelengths than normal beings because of additional photoreceptors in her eyes. Her auditory and enhanced olfactory systems are enhanced, allowing her to hear and smell at greater range and with increased precision. Her tongue is equally as sensitive. Like some animals, she can literally "taste" the air and discern the presence of threats or objects of interest. Her sense of touch is augmented to the point that her tactical perception can notice minute textures and changes in atmospheric pressure, allowing her to sometimes feel the air moving in advance of an opponent drawing near. While her brain is not cognitively faster or more intelligent process, her neuroreception speed is increased enough to allow her to absorb and process the heightened amount of raw environmental information that her body can detect.

The final aspect of her physiology is its near unknown potential. Her base levels of strength, speed, and perception are correlate with her base level of reiatsu. As her spiritual power increases, she is able to use higher levels of her physical abilities without exerting reiatsu to do so.
