 THE SHINIGAMI APPLICATION Name: Shuya Kitakaze (北風秋夜, Kitakaze Shūya)Real Age: 180 Gender: Male Personality: Shuya is a young vice-captain level seated officer in the 2nd division, distinguished by his pragmatic and morally gray outlook on life. Reserved and observant, he carefully assesses situations before taking action, prioritizing results over traditional notions of right and wrong. Skilled in manipulation and self-preservation, Shuya is ambitious and driven by a desire to climb the ranks of the Soul Society, willing to bend moral codes and exploit others to achieve his goals. He subscribes to a belief system that views morality as subjective, justifying his actions by citing the necessity of circumstances or the greater good. Shuya remains loyal to the Soul Society, his actions driven by his subjective interpretation of what is right rather than a strict adherence to objective morality. CHARACTER APPEARANCE Height: 5'4"Weight: 135 lbs Physical Traits: Average build, black hair in a ponytail, light blue eyes. Notably, his face is blemished by a nasty scar cutting across it.
BACK-DROP History: [Optional] Shuya's backstory is unremarkable and ordinary, for those in the Onmitsukido. A parentless scrap brought into the dregs of the Rukongai, he began as worth less than nothing. From a young age, he displayed exceptional talent in the art of stealth and reconnaissance, skills that naturally aligned with the ethos of the 2nd division's stealth squad. Despite his abilities, life in the Rukongai was harsh, and Shuya learned early on to rely on his cunning and resourcefulness to survive.As he grew older, Shuya's reputation as a skilled infiltrator caught the attention of the Onmitsukido, who saw potential in the young prodigy. Impressed by his natural talents and willingness to operate in the shadows, Shuya was taken into the 2nd Squad, where he was trained in the ways of espionage and covert operations. Under their mentorship, Shuya honed his skills and rose through the ranks of the 2nd division, eventually earning the title of vice-captain level seated officer. However, his time in the stealth squad further exposed him to the darker side of life, where moral ambiguity and dire necessity were commonplace. As Shuya ascended within the ranks, he became increasingly dispassioned by the work that he performed in his role. He witnessed, partook in, and lived with Death itself. He witnessed firsthand the corruption and injustice that plagued the institution, leading him to adopt a morally gray outlook on life. As the only entity that bothered to lift him up, Shuya is loyal to the Soul Society, believing that there is some good in that organization, despite his own actions that were driven by his subjective interpretation of what was right, rather than any objective moral dogma. Now, as a key member of the 2nd division's stealth squad, Shuya navigates the treacherous waters of the Soul Society's business, using his skills to uncover secrets and manipulate events from the shadows. Driven by an ambition to become something at all, he treads a fine line between loyalty and self-preservation, determined to carve out his own path in a world where morality is anything but black and white. Exposition: Shuya's ethics are subjective. He doesn't shy away from the dirtier deeds that the 2nd division often deals in, being a natural at espionage and delivering death. Side Notes: -- THE COMBAT INFORMATION General Fighting Style: Shuya's fighting style is calculated and methodical.

The katana appears to flow with black sand.Abilities: Black Sand Manipulation: Using the sword, Shuya can manipulate a cloud of black iron sand flakes. The sand particles are tiny, sharp, and hot, and will cause shallow cuts and minor burns on contact. The sand can be used for follow up attacks in sword combos, and can form larger structures, within the confines of its volume limitation. No more than three additional swords' worth of volume (in addition to the original sword) of sand can be present at once in Shikai. The original sword itself is also made of black sand here, and can be manipulated in any way that black sand can.

Other metal structures can be made this way. Metal created this way is just an aggregate of black sand, and can be manipulated as usual.
