 THE HOLY SHINIGAMI APPLICATION Name: Draiden Alias: Shinigami Crusader Real Age: 852 Phys. Age: 41 Gender: Male Personality: Draiden is a very zealous man, holy and devout to the Church’s goal of spreading Christianity to all reaches of the globe. Ever since he himself had been saved, given a ‘blessing’ that cured his wife and child of a short-lived but deadly plague, he became a warrior of the Church. He is passionate both on and off the battlefield, with a sense of honor to match. For the most part, especially since falling in battle as a mortal man, he is humble, knowing there is plenty out there better than himself and that one small slip could give a weaker opponent just the right moment to yet again end his life. So, he takes everything thrown his way seriously. Everything. He does not know the definition of sarcasm. Both figuratively, and very literally. Don’t try ‘Your mama’ jokes with him, they’re a quick trip to his bad side. Draiden’s mama was a good woman, would take care of anyone unfortunate that came to her door. It was from his mother that Draiden learned charity and compassion, knowing when it was best to spare a life and help it grow. Not that he’d spare a Hollow, he knows enough that Hollows need to be purified to keep the world’s balance, but not all one faces is a specific enemy. Every warrior he faces will have his respect so long as they fight with honor. One on one, up close and no cheap tricks. The moment a cheap tactic is used, all respect is out the window and you will have earned his scorn, for not only did they dishonor themselves, they dishonor Draiden by fighting dirty. He will loathe them until his blade pierces their heart. CHARACTER APPEARANCE Height: Stands at 6 ft. 2 inches tall. Weight: 201 lbs. 4 ounces. Physical Traits: In armor:
THE COMBAT INFORMATION General Fighting Style: Draiden is an up-close tank of a fighter, having trained his body to push through the normal human tolerance of pain before his eventual death as a human. He is an aggressive fighter, doing what he can to keep things up close. Keep things honorable and he will as well. Use some underhanded attack or try attacking from the distance, and all bets are off. Until that point he would have avoided using his Zanpakutou’s full abilities because of how they worked, however will use them after someone fights dishonorably. Strengths: Endurance,Stamina , Strength, Speed Weaknesses: Spiritual Pressure, Spiritual Energy, Durability Ability Name: Divine Armor Ability Description: As if an act of God, Draiden’s armor was bound to his new spiritual body upon death, getting a unique black tint as associated with SHinigami powers. He can call this armor to materialize around his body at will at the start of a fight, and can get sent away to an armor stand of his choosing just as quickly. However, once sent away he needs to wait 2 posts before he can call the armor back again. The armor doesn’t have Zanpakutou durability of course, however once a piece of armor is broken that piece will return to the armor stand it was last at and begin self-repair, taking 3 posts each part(Consisting of the helmet, 2 gauntlets, breastplate, 2 boots, 2 pauldrons and chausses). Once repaired it can be returned immediately to Draiden’s body. Each part is capable of taking up to a Bala(Base/Shikai), Hadou 35(Bankai), Hadou 54(Toukai) in attack power before breaking. The chainmail underneath acts as normal chainmail and won’t offer much protection from supernatural attacks. Ability Name: Purification Ability Description: Something he carried from his time in the Church, Draiden is able to cleanse a person of any toxins, poisons or disease. This takes up the action for his post and has a 2 post cooldown. Also, the cleansing doesn’t work instantly. The one being cleansed will have to go through two posts suffering through whatever is being purged out before their body is cleansed of whatever they’ve been affected by. ZANPAKUTO Sealed Appearance:
Call Out Command: March Forward, to Glory SHIKAI Appearance: Upon entering Shikai, Draiden’s Zanpakutou splits into two separate blades. The first, an executioner’s blade, sits upon his right hip. The other, an ornate european longsword, sits sheathed on his back. Draiden will fight only with the longsword, as the executioner’s blade is only used for the final killing blow and has no unique ability or skill for a fight. Longsword-
Ability Name: Sword of Truth Ability Description: Upon using this ability Draiden’s sword will glow with a dull silver light. This ability is a temporary boost, enhancing the power of his strikes with power similar to that of a level 35 Hadou. It can be used unspoken (1/2 power). This ability lasts for 1 post. However, it can be repeatedly used. Ability Name: Shield of Justice Ability Description: Once every other post, Draiden is able to create a transparent shield that has a dull black glow, capable of deflecting a single attack that is equal to Hadou 50 in strength before breaking down into spirit particles. Anything stronger, and it breaks. Ability Name: Blinding Grace Ability Description: This ability acts as a Flash Grenade. Draiden focuses a small bit of his Spirit Energy in the palm of his right hand and throws it at the ground, creating a bright flash of light that temporarily blinds opponents partially within 100 feet if they don’t properly cover their eyes or turn away in time, or happen to have eyes that can adjust to such a bright flash. Partial blindness lasts 1 post. With Executioner’s Blade- Ability Name: Honorable Death Ability Description: This is a blade meant for honorable kills, and will purify even the souls of Sinners when it takes off their heads. Boosts: 2x Strength, Durability, Stamina, Endurance BANKAI New Name: Tenshi no Senshi (Angel Warrior)Appearance: In this state, both blades are replaced with the form below. (Divine Armor changes shape with release to fit the image.) Behind Draiden forms a large feminine humanoid that could maaaaybe pass for an angelic creature as described in the bible. The kind that says for a mortal not to be afraid because of how terrifying they are. Armor and Sword-
Ability Name: The First Angelic Seal Ability Description: As the first seal to the scroll of judgement deals with the Antichrist/Pestilence, a conqueror on a white horse wielding a bow, this ability creates small arrow-shaped energy projectiles over Draiden’s head, three each post, to be shot at his opponent. Each has the speed and damage of a Quincy’s arrow while in Letz Stil, and lasts for 6 posts(starting the post this was activated). Can only be used once, has no cooldown. Ability Name: The Second Angelic Seal Ability Description: The second seal, pertaining to War, brings both Draiden and his opponent a 2x boost(Or maxing out to the site limit total of 6x total) to strength for 5 posts. This can only be used once, has no cooldown. Ability Name: The Third Angelic Seal Ability Description: The third seal deals with Famine, and works as a debuff on both Draiden and his opponent. Both end up using twice as much Spirit Energy for their energy attacks for 4 posts. Can only be used once, has no cooldown. Ability Name: The Fourth Angelic Seal Ability Description: The fourth seal is Death, and for the next 3 posts both Draiden and his opponent have any healing/regeneration temporarily Slowed down to a crawl, requiring twice as much time (Abilities that heal in the same post now heal the next, regeneration over 2 posts now takes 4, etc.). This ability can only be used once, has no cooldown. Ability Name: The Fifth Angelic Seal Ability Description: The fifth seal speaks of martyrs, killed for their faith during tribulation and clothed in pure white robes. This ability is much more subtle than the others in that it creates a field of small white orbs in the sky, keeping the fighting area well lit and visible even in heavy storms. Ability Name: The Sixth Angelic Seal Ability Description: The sixth seal as in the bible is devastating, reshaping the world with an earthquake and changing the color of the sun and moon. This ability isn’t nearly on that level, but still one to fear. It causes an earthquake below the two fighters, ripping large chunks of earth up and scattered in the air. These chunks of earth remain stationary in the air for a moment before all slamming together, creating a massive boulder. As powerful as a level 75 Hadou, it is hurled right at Draiden’s opponent from above, representative as an answer for those who in the bible asked that the mountains they took shelter under would crush them, for they could not stand before God. Can only be used once, has no cooldown. Ability Name: The Seventh Angelic Seal Ability Description: This does not follow with the seventh seal on the scroll, and calls the creature summoned into play. The many swords that had melted form into one massive greatsword which it takes hold of with all four hands, and from that point becomes an extension of Draiden much like Kokujo Tengen Myo(minus the damage transer thing, that was silly). The creature can be destroyed. This being lasts until killed or the end of Bankai(whether that is for sealing, character death or ascending to Toukai). Boosts: 3x Strength, Durability, Stamina, Endurance TOUKAI New Name: Dai Tenshi no Senshi (Archangel Warrior)Appearance: Once all abilities prior have been used, Toukai becomes available(If at the proper tier). The creature fades, the Spirit Particles that went into making it going to enhancing the Toukai form. (Divine Armor changes shape with release to fit the image.)
Ability Name: Divine Grace Ability Description: This is Draiden’s only ability in Toukai, and is passive. Draiden cannot use any attacks using Spirit Energy, Kidou included, as his Spirit Energy goes into enhancing his physical stats (Strength, Speed, Durability, Endurance, Stamina) by +1x every 2 posts(Not exceeding the 6x boost site limit) starting 2 posts after Toukai is released. In exchange, he gives up being able to attack with anything other than his bare fists, sword and armor. His stats related to Spirit Energy (Spirit Energy, Spirit Pressure, Kidou, etc.) Can be counted as non-existent while in Toukai. Boosts: 4x Strength, Durability, Stamina, Endurance BACK-DROP History: Before becoming a Shinigami, Draiden was a simple human being. He grew up on hard labor, working as both a farmer and carpenter. He got a wife, had a son, and owned land. Life was simple, but it was good. He provided for his family. It was shortly after his son turned 4 though that his life took a dark twist. A plague, brought by rodents carrying the disease, swept through the region and nearly killed his wife and child. However some holy men passed through, and granted him a blessing from ‘God’ to cure his family of this plague. He was astonished. How had he not thought to ask for divine help for his family before? He owed everything to these men, so when they asked for him to join them and become a soldier of ‘God’, how could he refuse? They promised him that most of his pay would go to his family to help support them. As such, while he was kept in shape from a life of hard work, he had to be trained as a soldier. He learned to use a sword, his body adjusted to wearing heavy armor for many hours of the day, and was able to wear it with little problem when sleeping too. It was the fighting that really affected him. When he took his first life, he didn’t know if he should continue. He began to doubt, up until he remembered his wife and son back home. He was doing this for them, for the debt he owed the church. If being a soldier paid that debt, then so be it. Eventually, killing became easier for him. He was fighting other soldiers, after all. He never took part in the killing of innocents, something that he didn’t know some of the others did. Eventually, even the greatest of swordsmen fall. Draiden’s death came from a sword from behind while deep in a fight, from who he assumed was another crusader. He felt betrayed, and if left his soul was sure to Hollow-fy. However, he was found by a Shinigami and sent to the Soul Society. When he arrived, he found the afterlife to be not as... heavenly as he was lead to believe. There was crime, suffering, and hate. Not what he expected of the perfect paradise. ‘This... this cannot be it. This is Heaven?’ He couldn’t believe it. He had always heard through the church that when you die, your soul would go to Heaven and be at eternal peace. And yet... this was anything but. The more time he spent here, the more he started to doubt. ‘Reincarnation? Balance between worlds? What is all this?’ He needed answers, and from what he gathered would get them from the Shinigami. So to the academy he went. For the time, they didn’t seem so primitive. Their style was amazing, reminding him of stories merchants told him of the lands in the east. And the walls, so smooth and made of a stone he wasn’t too familiar with. It wasn’t anything like the stone walls used in the forts he tended to occupy while living. When he arrived, he quickly became a student. Though out of practice for a bit, he quickly picked back up on his knowledge in swordplay and learned new techniques that he never would have learned while alive. It was amazing, this afterlife held so much potential to learn and grow! Why couldn’t the world below have such shared knowledge like they did here? That was another thing he learned, the various realms that were all connected via the World of the Living, as they called it. The Soul Society was one, the one he was in now. Hueco Mundo was another, the realm of Hollows, souls that went too long without being ferried over to the afterlife and lost their souls, devouring others to try and fill that void. And then there was Hell, a place he remembered hearing of even when he was alive. Maybe humans misinterpreted the spiritual world and it’s denizens? After all, he did also learn of the Soul King. Could he be God? Something felt wrong with that assumption though. If this Soul King was God, then why did he need the Shinigami to maintain this balance? Couldn’t he do so, with his omnipotent power? If there was a threat to the spiritual balance, couldn’t he remove it? It just didn’t add up to him. In his mind, he decided to believe God was just on a higher plane of being, unable to be seen even by the Shinigami. After all, there was a Hell, so there being a God and true Heaven couldn’t be wrong. Right? He would keep this belief to himself for now. He had a long time to ponder it. He took his time learning in the Academy, a whole 6 years. In that time he took note that while his muscle mass changed with his daily training, he didn’t really age. Were souls that much slower to age? How long could he possibly live before growing his first grey hair? More questions with little to no answer, because when he asked he was told it all differed on the soul based on their level of Spiritual Energy. The more one had, the slower they aged. While Draiden had quite a bit, he didn’t really expand upon it much in the academy. He didn’t do well with Kidou, believing it a dirty trick to use in what should be an honorable fight between warriors. He used his energy mostly for his sword swings, enhancing Spirit Pressure and for the Shinigami’s high-speed movement of Shunpo. The first time he used the technique gave him an incredible feeling. However he soon realized that he needed to master this ability, because it quickly left him drained. Training and studying went hand in hand, and when he fully awakened his Shinigami powers he was in for a surprise. A weight suddenly formed over him for armor formed over his body. It looked strikingly like his original suit as a living human, but now black to represent his new power. It was a welcome feeling, and something he used to help train to better enahnce his already superhuman endurance and stamina. Eventually, wearing the armor felt like nothing to him, and the time came to graduate. He was stuck into Squad 11, where he quickly formed bonds with the others over a shared love of straight-on battle. No pesky Kidou, only your power and skill of your swordsmanship to prove your worth. When he won, he gave pointers to the loser and bought everyone a drink. When he lost, he trained through the night to better improve for the next fight. Eventually, he looks to obtain a seated position. In life, he was a devout crusader for the church. Now in death, he was a loyal crusader of the Gotei. Side Notes:
