Titles: Gundancho of the Onmitsukido's Contingency Response Branch
Appearance: Sajin stands at 5’9”in (174cm) and weighs 134 lbs (61kg). He has a very slim but well-muscled body. He is a pale person, but not unduly so, and he always appears brooding. He has crimson eyes and choppy, black hair that he cuts himself. He wears a tattered band of red cloth around his forehead.
He has modified his Shikakusho a great deal, substituting a zubon for the hakama, tied with a black sash, not a white one. Instead of the normal tabi, he wears black combat boots, with reinforced toes for extra kicking power. His kosode are normal except for their lack of sleeves, because of the black, skin-tight Onmitskido bodysuit he wears beneath it. And finally, he sports a long, black haori with slender sleeves. He has a tattoo on the back of either hand in the shape of black flames, which run up the whole of each of his arms.Each acts as the seals for one of his familiars.
Reiatsu Color: Sajin’s reiatsu is a blazing white-blue.
Personality: Sajin is reticent and curt. He seems detached and cold, but he does genuinely care about the world. When he speaks, it is because he has decided that his words will have a definitive impact, and he rarely wastes his breath. He has soft spots for a few family members and friends, and he will defend them viciously to the end. He seems to like inaction, but he actually is rather impatient. He is also highly intelligent, and has studied a number of different topics and disciplines to the point where he can simultaneous hold three complex strands of thought at the same time. As a result, he is very cool under pressure and excels in tough situations.
Battle Style: Sajin prefers to fight while primarily using his Zanpakuto, Zanjutsu, and Shunpo. He sparingly relies on his hands and Kidou, as his inexperience with them is a risk he'd prefer not to take.
When fighting, he utilizes a number of specialized Zanjutsu techniques. He can easily switch between his left and right hands, and has taught himself to be ambidextrous. However, he has a marked affinity for his right hand over his left.
Yagi no Mai (柳木の舞, Dance of the Willow Tree): Sajin spins his sword over and over with one hand to allow for a continual onslaught of attacks and easy transferral to defense.This technique focuses on giving the opponent multitudes of wounds, regardless of severity. Kokugetsu no Mai (黒月の舞, Dance of the Black Moon): Sajin creates six Shunpo clones, and assaults the enemy from all sides simultaneously, making it very difficult to block.
Issentou (一閃刀, One Flash Sword): This attack uses swift, sequential sword slashes that are fast enough to appear to only be one move. Sajin can use two-to-five slashes, and the entire technique over and over. However, after fifteen slashes, his sword arm begins to tire moderately. This can be avoided if he uses both arms.
Character Biography: As is the case with most souls, Sajin knows nothing of his past before his death. When he appeared in Soul Society, he was forced to take up residence in North Rukongai, District 80 - Zaraki. Faced with the lawlessness and routine violence of the region, Sajin showed an intense concentration in battle that earned him the name Zaraki no Akuba (Curse of Zaraki). However, Sajin was different, in that he worked alone and preyed on the scum of Zaraki, becoming a vigilante. By the time he had manifested his fear-mongering, black Zanpakuto, word had spread to the Goteijuusantai of this almost legendary killer. Shinigami were sent to give him an offer of a position, and he accepted, taking up his sword to kill Hollows in addition to the wicked.
Over time, he ascended through the ranks to become the Third Seat of the Division. He was also awarded the position of Lieutenant of the Onmitsukido's Contingency Response Branch.
After several decades, his Zanpakuto spirit, Seiryuu, revealed that it was not in fact a true Zanpakuto. It was one of the Four Celestial Beings of legend. This event placed Sajin's mind under tremendous strain and resulted in his temporary insanity. He was remanded to the Maggot's Nest. His hair turned white from the shock of these events. A few years later, he and Ganga Haze, another imprisoned Shinigami, joined forces to escape. The jailers had not removed Sajin's familiars, Baskerville and Selden, from their seals on his body. Using a combination of the two hellfound familiars and the unique gaseous mixture that sustained Ganga's injured body (but acted as a toxin to others), they escaped the Maggot's Nest. Sajin fled to Rukongai, where he was found by a man named Namikaze Minato.
Special Traits/Abilities: As the Lieutenant of the Onmitsukido's Contingency Response Branch, Sajin can summon two familiars. In Rukongai, Sajin often was alone, and spent a great deal of his time in the company of birds and beasts. Over time, he began to silently enjoy their company, and bonded with some. Entry into the Contingency Threat Response Branch was a natural choice.
Familiar Command and Control: Sajin can wordlessly communicate with his familiars over any distance. They don't speak in words, but rather in a medley of feelings, emotions and images, allowing for incredibly fast messages to be communicated back to Sajin. They are sealed into flame tattoos on either arm.
Names: Baskerville and Selden
Description: Baskerville and Selden are two identical black dogs the size of draft horses, with six pairs of eyes each. Their only difference is that Baskerville has red eyes, while Selden's eyes are blue. Around their necks are broken metal collars; in their jaws, strange religious pendants. This seems to seem to suggest that they were once arcane Twelfth Division experiments that failed or escaped. Their fangs and talons are as sharp as blades, and they can move with great speed. They have above average strength and durability in accordance with their size.
Kokurei (黒霊, Black Spirit): Baskerville and Selden both have the ability to become black, ghost-like entities. They can choose at will what parts of their body become intangible. They are more vulnerable to energy techniques while in this form. Also, they can only do so while attached to their seals on Sajin's arms.
Kagemon (影門, Shadow Gate): Baskerville has the ability to move through shadows in both his physical and Kokurei forms. As long as the shadow exists, he can move through it. But, if he moves through shadows that he couldn't physically fit through, it uses more energy.
Zanki (斬鬼, Slashing Demon): Selden has the ability to move his whole body through a fifth dimension, slashing through a target without fear of a counterattack. In order to do this, however, he must first have eaten a piece of the object. If it is a person or creature, that piece must be blood. However, this attack consumes a great deal of his energy and can only be used three times before Selden must be resealed for the rest of the battle.
Special Objects: Sajin carries a number of additional weapons besides his Zanpakuto.
Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife: An infamous commando combat knife with a black finish. Sajin carries two in wrist sheaths, one on each arm.
SOG SEAL Team Elite Knife: An US Navy commando combat knife with a black finish. Sajin carries it in a sheath on his right hip.
Kunai: A ninja knife with a black finish. Sajin carries six, three strapped to each thigh.
Kusarigama: A modernized ninja weapon consisting of a dagger hooked to a heavy ball by a long length of chain. Sajin carries one in his kosode.
Zanpakuto: Seiryuu

Number of points dispatched: 482
Body Strength: 50
I have the typical strength of someone who has been doing workout for a short time and I surely developed some traits. I might look scrawny, granted...
Power (Reiatsu amount): 74
I belong to the high tier of 4th Seat class fighters in terms of Reiatsu. I would rival against a low tier 3rd Seat in terms of Reiatsu.
Kidou / Reiatsu Control: 41
All Shinigamis can do Soul burial, so do I.
As far as Kidou is concerned:
Basic level: For the desired effect, do not bypass the incantation if you are unable to cast it at advanced level.
You can cast up to kidou spell #41.
Advanced level: The spell will be spot on if you master it. Otherwise, it will be casted at less than a third of its full potential.
You can cast up to kidou spell #30.
Master: You can choose yourself the strength of the spell. The spell might reach its full potential as well.
You can master up to kidou spell #26.
If I add all the spells I fire before passing out (in advanced mode), it gives 82.
I can hide a moderate amount of my reiatsu.
I can channel quite an amount of reiatsu at parts of my body in a not-so-slow and not-so-bad manner.
Hakuda (Hand to Hand): 0
Brawler. Basic punches/kicks which could leave many openings.
Zanjutsu (Swordsmanship): 100
I would be among the higher-class fighters who enjoy having fights till dawn to the death (or less than that). I could train underdoggers for sure. I am quite disciplined as well.
Mobility (Shunpo and Reflexes): 112
Any slow person beware! I am not the slow type and I show it. My reflexes and motion speed are perfect... for those who don't know how to move at the speed of light. My Shunpo covers bigger distance in a smaller amount of time.

As far as Shikai is concerned:
All of my Shikai abilities, (1 passive, 4 active) are fully developed.
