    - Raizo Shinoda


    Name: Shinoda Akira (篠田 明)
    Titles: Head of the Shinoda Clan
    Age
    Actual Age: 2
    Looks: 22

    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.
    Height: 165cm
    Weight: 110kg


    Spoiler:


    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.

    [FONT=Book Antiqua]「 Shinkiri」
    "If, on our journey, should we encounter God, God will be cut."

    Name: Shinkiri (神切, Death-cutter)

    Appearance: Shinkiri's sealed form is that of an elegantnagamaki.The hilt is black with gold wrapping and sakura designs along the pommel and below the circular tsuba. The tsuba is black with a golden design of butterflies. The habaki is engraved with an abstract design. A knowledgeable eye will be able to spot similarities between it and the Zanpakuto of Akira's predecessors.

    Spoiler:


    Power: Space-time manipulation

    Spirit and Personality:

    Inner World: This dimension has no name and no default appearance. However, Shinkiri and Akira refer to it as the “Dream,” or Yume (夢). Yume is utterly empty. Nothing exists there except for sentience; that is to say, consciousness itself. As a result, a sentient consciousness that enters Yume can literally create things from nothing. What it believes becomes reality. In effect, those within Yume are gods, able to control and create energy, matter – and even time, defying the traditional laws and rules of scientific reality. When things other than Shinkiri or Akira enter Yume they remain there indefinitely - it cannot be fled via a Garganta, nor a Senkaimon, nor the Shadows.

    Akira usually allows Shinkiri to control Yume; however, Akira has the potential to wrest control from Shinkiri if she wishes, since Shinkiri is a part of Akira and is thus ultimately subservient to her.

    Appearance: Shinkiri has no default form and is able to change it at will within its Inner World. However, it often takes the form of a floating ball of gently pulsing light. It usually speaks telepathically with no distinctive tones of voice.

    Shikai
    Shikai Command: Yume o tachikire, Shinkiri!(Sever the dream, God-cutter! 夢を断ち切る, 神切!)

    Shikai Appearance: In Shikai, Shinkiri loses its scabbard and transforms into a mochi yari spear with a sasaho yari or bamboo leaf-shaped blade. The blade has a feather Damascus pattern. The shaft is made of a golden metal with a matte finish and sports a red enameling over the majority of the mid-length, decorated with golden filigree in sakura designs similar to its sealed form. Like all large Shikai, it is not difficult for Akira to handle the weight of Shinkiri, though others may have difficulties.

    Spoiler:


    Shikai Ability: Upon invoking the Shikai command, the edge of the blade become a portal to Yume.

    Samuyume (寒夢, Cold Dream)
    Description: Anything that makes contact with the blade edge is split, pushed apart as the dimensional portal space tears apart its atoms to pass through. This effectively makes it into a blade that can cut nearly anything.
    Mechanics: For the duration of the cut, reality itself is split at the edge of the blade. The portal rejects the entry of the reishi hich contacts it, causing the object struck by the blade to split apart along either edge of the blade. This drastically increases its cutting power, allowing the wielder to to produce a much higher attack power than possible with just a normal edge. Everything it cuts will separate cleanly, cleaved at the atomic level. The downside is that the edge cannot be used to block, nor does it discriminate between friend and foe. The only things it cannot cut in this fashion are spiritual objects with reiatsu of high enough to suppress the wielder's reiatsu - the reiatsu which keeps the portal open. A sufficiently strong reiatsu can force that portal shut on contact, leaving only the bare edge to contend with.

    Juyume (柔夢, Tender Dream)
    Description: With a slash of Shinkiri, reality is cut open, creating a pseudo-portal that will draw whatever is cut into Yume.
    Mechanics: The portal acts like a siphon - whatever mass or energy which is struck by the blade of Shinkiri breaks apart the reishi and sends through the portal to Yume, causing it to physically cease to exist in this dimension. With a more skilled application, the portal can literally be cut open next to the blades or opened within about ten meters of the blade. Only the wielder or those they choose can enter a portal to Yume not on the edge itself. This functions as a limited form of teleportation. The wielder creates a portal to enter Yume; then, another to leave it. The portal returning those within Yume to the real would will be heralded by a glow where the wielder chooses to re-enter reality, which can be the same location or a different one. The interior of Yume will take on a ghostly appearance of a copy of the real world while one is inside it. The wielder can travel within it and observe what happens outside while remaining imperceptible to those in the real world, being able to move within Yume at the same speed. They can also remain inside of Yume to avoid combat or detection; however, there is a noticeable reiatsu drain for this over time.
    Bankai

    True Name: Uchuu no Kiri (宇宙の切り), End of the Universe)

    Description: Uchuu no Kiri begins with the invocation. A portal appears and draws everything within ten kilometers of Akira's choosing into Yume. After a second, everything will reappear. The state in which they do will depend on what transpires within. Time will pass at a different rate in Yume than in the real world, allowing the battle to last indefinitely until the combatants .

    Mechanics: Once inside, Akira begins by creating a custom alternate reality inside of Yume. The physical rules, terrain, and contents of the new reality are set at the inception of Uchuu no Kiri. As the creator, Akira has the advantage defining the environment slanted in her favor. For example, she could create a world in a constant rainy state while fighting a fire-wielding opponent. However, she cannot create things that she cannot imagine or understand - for example, if she did not understand what gravity was, she could not reduce it to zero in her alternate reality.

    In addition, each fighter is restored to their ideal level of battle preparedness. Reiatsu, physical condition, and even supplies are restored to the level that the combatants believe they should be at. They cannot lie about their own strength levels or abilities - their own knowledge of themselves will keep them tethered to their regular strength levels. This effectively allows Uchuu no Kiri to restart the battle with all parties aware of the capabilities that their opponents have just displayed.

    From this point on, the combatants resume combat normally. However, Akira has one advantage over her opponent - at any time, she can temporarily create a new Element in the battlefield. This ranges from creating a fiery asteroid aimed at her enemy to suspending gravity to enhancing the strength of reiatsu-based techniques. The weakness of this advantage is that she can only change one thing at any given time. Should she lose her concentration, the new Element will end. Opponents can take advantage of this by engineering situations where Akira is tricked into creating an Element that will work against her, or forcing her to lose her focus and ability to create new Elements.

    Opponents cannot be killed within Yume, but Akira can be. The caveat to this condition is that if Akira dies, anyone trapped inside Yume will die as well when the dimension collapses.

    「 Combat Attributes」


    Overview: Akira has massive raw potential, but mostly focuses on using her body and reiatsu to attack, as they are easiest for her to use.


    High Reiatsu: This level of spiritual power corresponds to those possessing an above average amount of spiritual power, which is finely controlled. This level of spiritual power is common among those of an average lieutenant rank and high ranked seated officers.

    Highly Perceptive Combatant: Akira's powers of perception have few equals. Her five senses in particular are more developed at a base line level than any other Shinigami. This allows her to sense changes in a battlespace and even analyze other combatants simply by watching them. Her assessment of a situation is swift, ad-hoc and accurate, allowing him to deduce the nature of other people’s abilities and countering them, often only requiring a few instances of observation.She is very adept at finding and exploiting weaknesses in his opponents' techniques, and likewise at adjusting to his opponent's attack patterns and battle methods to better counter them. Her ability to understand things she hasn't experienced previously can sometimes frighten others.

    Advanced Growth Rate: Perhaps the most fearsome aspect of Akira is her growth rate. Raizo designed her to hold limitless potential and she may never experience limits in how much she can progress. Akira's heightened perception allows her to watch advanced techniques and copy them. Even when bored with something, Akira is able to invest only a small amount of focus and receive a much larger amount of learning than others. As a fast learner Akira is able to grasp the basic control of advanced techniques in days where it would take other gifted Shinigami months. Indeed, the only real limit she has ever encountered was her own lack of disinterest.

    Immense Strength: She is strong enough to stop even powerful attacks with a single hand and can potentially end the fight with a single blow, inflicting tremendous damage with her bare hands. Her strength is described as being "scary," a fearsome weapon in its own right which can dictate the conditions of battle by intimidating even opponents who could hold their ground against her. She can fend of huge weapons with only one hand and easily penetrate highly durable armor with a single strike.

    Immense Speed: Akira is surprisingly fast in combat, even when just leaping. Her legs can propel her fast enough to surprise even fast opponents. She can instantly close huge gaps relying on her innate speed alone, appearing to disappear from sight completely. She is fast enough to react to most surprise attacks and masterfully deliver a counter to them. In battle, she can strike with incredible speed in rapid succession, making it highly difficult for her opponents to find an opening and counterattack.

    Immense Endurance: Akira seems to be tirelessly energetic in combat. No amount of physical maneuver can tire her or slow her down. Likewise she can also ignore heavy injury to her body and keep fighting. Even when being riddled with otherwise incapacitating wounds, she can just shrug it off and continue fighting without any sign of being hindered. Her stamina allows her to deliver relentless offensives which can keep even the most of skilled combatants on the defensive, unable to retreat or counterattack.

    Immense Durability: Akira's body is incredibly durable and resistant to damage. She can take tremendously heavy blows and stand up undaunted afterward without significant consequences to she body. Even when being attacked with powerful weapons it requires great power behind their strikes to wound her.

    Hohou Expert: Like most experts of the technique, Akira is considerably fast, and can maintain high speed movements for extended periods of time. While not as fast as a master, she can keep up quite effectively and her application of the technique is highly advanced. Though not experienced enough to use master-level techniques, she is knowledgeable of them and can anticipate them when she notices signs of their use.

    Zanjutsu Novice: Her skill with the sword is just enough to engage an opponent at a basic level. Any combat against an average swordfighter would leave her unable to press an attack if she was to only use Zanjutsu. Her technique is more comparable to a brawler than a trained fighter, and her repertoire is mostly limited to chops, slashes, and thrusts. Her knowledge of maneuvers and defensive moves is close to none. This is mostly due to her own lack of interest in traditional swordplay.

    Kidou Practitioner: Kidō practitioners possess basic knowledge of Kidō. Akira can use low- to mid-level Kidō without incantation, but often has trouble using spells at higher levels. This is due to a lack of traditional training, but she possesses an innate aptitude and a natural curiosity for the discipline.
