Veteran
Name: Kuriyami Ryuu
Alias: Ryuu, Dark-kun
Age: Actual Age:800, Appearance: 24
Gender: Male
Faction: Shinigami
Rank: 1st Division Captain, Soutaichou
Description:
On the surface Ryuu doesn't look that strong but in actuality it is quite the opposite. Though he has a small frame and doesn't look that muscular he has a lot of power behind his attacks. He stands about 5'8" and weighs about 180lbs which adds to the illusion that he's weak. His small, but athletic, build shows that he may be able to move fast but that would be about it. He can always be
seen wearing the typical Shinigami robes as well as his Haori over them. He normally wears a pair of brown gloves so that he can always keep a grip on his sword as well as anything he needs to while fighting. He has long silver hair that he usually keeps up in a high pony tail, though he has long bangs that fall over his face. He also has a scar on his cheek that runs from mid nose to his jaw line.
His Zanpakutou is kept on his left side due to his being right handed while sword fighting. He also tends to carry around little items that he brought with him from Rukongai, a necklace to be exact. No one knows why he does but all these little things serve as a reminder of where he came from. He is not from one of the noble families and he has made sure that his appearance shows it as if to say, they aren't the only ones who can succeed.
Reiatsu Color: Midnight Blue with a Purple Hue
Personality: Ryuu, despite his younger appearance, is a very serious person. His personality has often been described as hard and strict on occasion due to how serious he can be. He will very rarely, if ever, talk to anyone outside of his Captains. The only time he normally speaks to anyone out side the other captains is if he is speaking with a patrol about events that have occurred during their watch. Aside from those two instances Ryuu keeps to himself and usually spends his free time studying and going over reports.
Ryuu's mind works in a very non-conventional way. When in the middle of a fight or a training session, instead of thinking about winning or if he's injured, Ryuu will think about strategies and ways of catching his opponent off guard. He tends to analyze fights as they happen so that he can go over them later on the off chance he fights a similar opponent again. Underneath the hard exterior however is a very kind and caring person. When it comes to those in Soul Society, though he appears to be a closed off person, he cares deeply for all of them. If anything were to happen to anyone of them he would be the first on the front lines fighting to make sure they were protected. All in all people find it very difficult to understand how Ryuu works but that is what makes him who he is.
Family: He currently has no real family aside from those few Shinigami that he is close too.

History:
When Ryuu arrived in Rukongai he was lucky enough to end up in a nice area that was close to Seireitei. Ryuu also met up with a small group of people that soon became his new family and after a few months Ryuu had begun to adjust. His new life was beginning to help him open up but for some reason he couldn’t. Nothing he did changed how he acted or how he thought. After a many years though, people began to see that he wasn’t like others. He would often complain that he was hungry and because of this the elders of the area he was in were alerted.
When the elders were told of this they brought Ryuu into their meeting hall and began to ask him questions. When they were done with him they arrived at the conclusion that, if trained correctly, he could get into the Shinigami academy and possibly become a strong Shinigami. So Ryuu soon began training and because of his lack of knowledge of spirit energy they had a long way to go. After about another 20 years of training Ryuu applied and was accepted into the Shinigami academy. This acceptance would be the final step that Ryuu needed to finally find meaning to his existence.
When Ryuu entered the academy he was quickly accepted along with the other new students and began to make some new friends. Before he arrived however he was given a necklace that was made by one of the members of his new family which he began to wear at the academy. When asked about it he only said that it was given to him as a way to remember where he came from. The one thing he promised was that he wouldn’t forget those who took him in when he arrived and he swore to keep that promise. When classes started however Ryuu found that he was, in fact, very different.
His spiritual energy was pretty high compared to some and this helped him when it came time for the demon arts class. His high energy allowed him to perform the spells with ease. Eventually, Ryuu found the chants at the beginning to be too long winded and drawn out, so he began to train him self to be able to use them without the use of the chants. The next class that Ryuu excelled at was the combat training class. Due to his smaller frame and his speed he was able to beat even some of the larger opponents and prove that he was, in fact, a strong fighter.
Due to his abilities he had started to form rivalries within the academy and soon his one major weakness was discovered. One day after classes were over Ryuu was relaxing when another student, whom he had beaten, walked up and challenged him. Ryuu was about to ignore the challenge until the other student called him weak. This caused something inside Ryuu to bubble to the surface, something he had kept buried since the deaths of his parents. With that one word Ryuu attacked the student and beat him once again, however this event lead to Ryuu being punished and eventually caused him to completely close himself out from everyone.
Eventually Ryuu graduated from the academy and was placed into the 3rd Division. His skills were now well honed and soon after his placement he began to rise through the ranks, reaching 7th Seat within a few years. The one mission that would change his life for the better was the first time he truely used his Shikai. He released it with the phrase "Tachinoboru!" which means Rise Up and with that his sword changed and he quickly finished off the hollows he was sent to take out. When he returned to Seireitei he was promoted to 5th seat and it was then that Ryuu began to train harder then he ever had before.
Many years past and Ryuu eventually learned Bankai. That achievement, mixed with the lack of a 13th Division Captain, made him the perfect candidate for the job. Ryuu was moved to the 13th Division and given his new position, which he accepted without hesitation. From that point he began to make a name for himself. Soon he began to train harder and stayed on top of the goings on within the main circles within Soul Society. He became close to his Soutaichou and was kept up to date on everything that was going on. His natural intellect made it easy for Ryuu to pick up and figure out what was happening and soon he was made an adviser to the Soutaichou. This meant that on top of his normal duties as the 13th Divisions captain, he would also help the Soutaichou make crucial decisions by giving him logical and vital input.
When the time came for a new Soutaichou to be named, due to the old Soutaichous request to retire and live on peacefully, Ryuu was brought in and interviewed at the request of the Soutaichou himself. Ryuu was nervous but acted as he normally did and showed that not only did he have the strength but also had the mental capacity to make the quick and vital decisions that would effect not only Soul Society but also the human realm. At first Ryuu was hesitant to accept but after taking the time to think about it and discuss it with his former teacher, and Soutaichou, Ryuu accepted the position and has since been serving as the 1st Division Captain. Ryuu stil continues to train hard both physically and mentally so that when the time comes for him to fight and make those hard choices, he will know the right thing to do.

Name: Kuraikimi (Dark Prince)
Release Phrase: "Tachinoboru! Kuraikimi!" {"Rise Up! Dark Prince!"}
Description: Sealed Form
Kuraikimi isn't anything really special while it is in it's sealed form. Kuraikimi looks like a normal katana while sealed with a long silver blade that has a beautiful design in the blade edge as well as toward the guard. The guard itself is rounded and black with wave like designs around the interior. Where the blade meets the guard there is a copper piece that helps support the blade while in battle. The handle is black with gold toward the bottom and wrapped in white with a diamond pattern going down.
The sheath is a beautiful solid black with a white cloth wrapping near the top. The sword itself is not that long while in it's sealed form. The blade is 28 inches long while the handle is 13 inches long. The total length of the blade is 42.5 inches long and weighs about 2.4 pounds. All in all there isn't anything special about Kuraikimi while it's sealed. The only surprise is the fact that it is totally inverted when it comes to it's released form. While it is all black while released, Kuraikimi is mostly white while it is sealed. This contradiction in forms also helps in battle as most people do not expect to see an almost evil looking sword spring forth from this almost pure looking katana.
-Shikai: Shikai
When Ryuu releases Kuraikimi it changes from a typical katana and becomes a large broadsword. However Kuraikimi is not your typical broadsword. The blade is a solid black that is wide at the end of the blade and slims toward the middle only to widen slightly at the base again. The guard is almost like a claw with two blades pointing up toward the blade and claw like points on the edges of each. The guard also has gold rune like symbols engraved through out it. The handle is also a solid black with a dragons head at the end.
All in all Kuraikimi represents its name well with both a medieval look and feel as well as that royal look that befits the name. Ryuu actually prefers this form over it's normal sealed form due to his taste in swords as well as his fighting style while normal and using his hollow mask.
-Bankai: Koushin tame sono ouza! Tenkawakeme Kuraikimi {Rise to the throne! Fateful Dark Prince!}
Bankai
When Kuraikimi is released into it's bankai form it maintains most of it's normal shikai shape but does change slightly. The blade goes from a full solid black to a mix of black and silver. The blades edges are silver while the body of the blade is solid black. The blade grows slightly near the guard to almost for spikes. The gold runes grow out over the blade and form almost a tribal looking mix and toward the middle of the blade the runes that were toward the guard appear. The runes on the guard also change slightly and all the runes glow. This glow fades slightly after every attack and when the runes go out the the bankai ends. This is due to the short amount of time that Ryuu has had the bankai. The guard grows slightly to compensate for the blade growth and the handle grows to allow for more of a grip to handle the change.
Spirit Description: Kuraikimi's Picture from Photobucket
Kuraikimi appears to look just as one would expect. He appears to be about the same age as Ryuu, physically speaking, and has black hair that is usually kept down and somewhat messy and purple eyes that seem to have no emotion. He also tends to have a very sly smirk on his face at all times as if he is planning something. He stands about 5'10" tall and has a very slender frame. He wears a black uniform type outfit that has gold trim around the jacket and a gold emblem on the collar. The pants are straight black as are the shoes but the one thing that sets this outfit apart from the rest is the elegant cape that Kuraikimi wears.
The cape goes down to his ankles and the collar of the cape goes up and out to about right above the ears. The cape is a dark blue, almost black, with a red lining all around the inside. There is a gold trim around the cape, just like his jacket. All in all Kuraikimi lives up to his name as he always tries to put off that royal appearance. When he interacts with Ryuu he always has that high and mighty attitude as if he is better then most.
Attacks:
Shikai:
Kuroi Ouja {Black King}: Kuroi Ouja is Kuraikimi's main offensive ability. When this ability is used Ryuu begins channeling his own reiatsu into the sword and mixes it with the zanpakutous own spirit energy. When the name of the ability is called Kuraikimi releases the energy it has stored in a massive burst. However, this energy isn't released in a straight line. Instead the energy shoots out in many directions like a shotgun blast only to come at the enemy from all sides. This ability can only be used 3 times in a row before it needs to recharge. Also, the target must be within 30ft of Ryuu or the energy fizzles away.
Gosai Ouhi {Red Queen}: Gosai Ouhi is another offensive ability but is mainly used as a support ability. When the ability name is called Ryuu again pours his reiatsu into Kuraikimi. Then Ryuu slams the sword into the ground and a blood red aura begin emanating from him. Suddenly the aura bursts outward in all directions around Ryuu in a 20ft dome. While nothing happens on the inside of the dome if hit by the blast itself severe damage can be caused. This attack can only be used once every 10 posts as it takes alot of reiatsu to fire.
Shiroi Kishi {White Knight}: Shiroi Kishi is the primary defensive ability of Kuraikimi. When used Ryuu must once again use his own reiatsu to mix with Kuraikimis energy. When this ability is used Ryuu once again slams the sword into the ground, only this time a white aura emanates from him. The aura grows around Ryuu, covering only him, and hardens into a shield. This ability can only be used once every 30 posts but can be held up for as long as 10 posts if need be.
Bankai:
Sendo tame za Ouja {Death to the King}: This attack is the only offensive ability that Tenkawakeme Kuraikimi has. When this attack is used Ryuu focuses his reiatsu into the sword and mixes with it's own energy. When the attack is called Ryuu slams the sword into the ground and release the stored energy. The attack comes out of the ground in a circle around Ryuu and attacks as many as 6 enemies around him. However if there is only 1 enemy all 6 will fly at them and as with it's shikai version, the attack never comes from the same place twice. This attack can only be used 5 times in total before the bankai disperses and leaves Ryuu exhausted.
Senshu tame za Ouji {Bow to the Prince}: This ability is mainly defensive but can be changed to fit the situation that Ryuu is in. Ryuu channels his own reiatsu into the sword and mixes it with the swords, as with it's other ability. Ryuu then calls the attack and kneels down with the sword blade on the ground, as if he were kneeling before the prince himself. Suddenly a blood red aura appears around Ryuu and hardens around him and acts like a shield that Ryuu can keep up for 10 posts if need be. Unlike his shikai shield however, if an enemy comes near the shield spikes shoot out in an attempt to stop them from coming closer. This ability can only be used twice before the bankai ends.
