Gender: Male
Class Shinigami
Faction: Gotei 13
Rank: 4th Captain
PvP Availability: Whatever
Description: Hirugane is an elder Gentleman, With dark worn skin from years of what he to this day insists was tilling fields in his younger days. His hair is incredibly thick, yet short cropped to his skull and while dulled by age is not quite all white just yet. His facial features always come off initially as serious and slightly perturbed. After a short time with meeting people however they have found that instantly heartwarming smile that for anyone who he faces with anger is the polar opposite. His robes seem somewhat sagely despite draping over him like normal robes. Even his stark white and perfectly bleached captains robes somehow seem grey with sagely awesomeness.
Reiatsu Color: Gray
Personality: He is terrifying, that much is certain. The reason for this is because he is never entirely obvious with his...choices he gives you or questions he ask. He is much like a mother who might ask whether the kid wants to keep kicking the chair...but says it in that way that terrifies the child because he knows he is not being asked anything at all. He is able to stand back from any situation and view it with rationalities beyond the chaotic mindset of many younger souls. Eternally calm, nobody has ever truly been able to say whether he is angry.
Family: Tetsujin Noble house
Weapon: His icy cold/epicly heartwarming stare of death/love.

History:
Hirugane began his life born to the Noble house of Tetsujin as the First born son of three children, his second a younger brother and his third a beautiful young sister. As he grew old enough to walk his life-long lessons on how to behave within the society around him began, grooming that would define his attitude and behaviour throughout the rest of his life.
He was expected to be perfect, to handle every situation of a noble son's life with absolute precision and calm and he was never once able to say his parents were disappointed in his efforts. His parents however were at best distant from their children, busy with the day to day matters and at the same time. At the most honest however the children were more or less just their to be trained to take over the family one day, the fact that they had three was so the mother had a daughter to dote on leaving the brothers to more or less be raise as nobles without emotional attachment to the people around them. They were lucky though...the parents did have dinner with them and scheduled times to be with them in some capacity throughout the week.
Once his grooming time was complete and after spending several years under his fathers wing in the business, treated as an observing assistant first and a son and heir second at all times, he was told he was free to make one of two choices approved for further grooming of his character and sense of nobility. His first option was that he would be given starting capital and his fathers personal assistant to help him begin a new venture financially that when matured would become a piece of the families overall business structure, but if it failed he would lose his position as heir to his younger brother. The second option was that he would take the place of the Noble Tetsujin house's Shinigami representative to the Seireitei, learning the ways of the God of Death and attaining for the family a more public face to admire and gaining support in a more political sense. His options however came with a catch that whatever choice he did not take, his brother would be forced to participate.
Hirugane and his sibling Tarasumo were both strongly skilled men in business, but of the two Hirugane was decidedly the more stable physically. He could maintain a far more strict physical regimen, and also was more capable of bearing under impossible demands due to a far more strict upbringing. He only went over these thoughts in his mind long enough to come up with the line that He was a far prettier face to present publically and a scar or two would only increase his public appeal so he would take on the military option and hope to bring from it a strict moral code with which to head the family when it was time for his return.
From what he heard throughout his time in the academy his brothers business failed miserably within the first year. He returned to the family in shame but was greeted warmly by his parents in a way neither brother had ever been left witness too. As it would later be explained decades later when Hirugane assumed control of the House after their fathers passing his brothers business failing had been designed into as a way to strengthen his brothers reliance on the family as it had been apparent to the father only much later in his childrens lives how little they felt connected to it. Hirugane they had known somehow understood this mistake and did not blame them, yet they had worried about his brother and thus setup the test of choice the many years previous to prune them further.
However this days Hirugane was still not aware of this, he was a simple fresh out of the academy shinigami who entered initially into the 6th division but later transfered to the 4th squad for purposes of open premotionary positions. Afterall despite his brothers choice having been a test he was still actually expected to become the public face o the Tetsujin name. After only 3 decades he had climbed from a mere 19th seat to the 6th seat of the 4th division by proving impeccable handling of medical supplies as well as prowess in defense of mid-battle medical zones. Minor wars that would sprout up saw him and his squad defending zones while healing the wounded only to send them back out and repeat the process but still they managed just fine.
After achieving rank as a leiutenant one hundred years into his service in the 6th division, again a transfer for the public image campaign he began to remove himself from the Gotei over the course of the next 3 decades until he was able to fully retire from it and return to take head of his Noble house which had been held together by his brother for the year and a half prior to his final retirement when their father passed away.
At 326 years of age he was now the head of the Tetsujin household, and he found himself lucky he had retired as wars sprouted up the changed the very climate of the Seireitei and the Gotei squads. Lives lost and whole swaths of Rukongai and seireitei eradicated while he sailed the choppy waters and kept the Tetsujin compounds in one piece and the family finances in control.
After an entire Millenia rolled through his family was as prosperous as ever but of course not without it's losses. His dear sister had been married off to maintain the stability of his house with one of the higher nobles during the turmoil of the Onigami as several key members of his house had betrayed the shinigami to become the next stage. He had even been made to slay his own brother after he betrayed them for the Onigami cause, a choice not given...but taken by Hirugane so that he could be sure his brothers death was quick. He made it instantaneous.
He maintained a deeper connection with the shinigami organization after this event acting as an adviser to decision made by the captain commanders and for the last 50 years has also held a seat on the Central 46 council until he pulled himself from retirement in the aftermath of the sudden loss of most captains of the Gotei squads. He has assumed captaincy of the 4th Division as he feels he is to old to be on the battlefield but will always be willing to take to the field in defense of the wounded.
Hirugane after the conclusion of a war that had begun only a week after he had assumed office and placed his handpicked Lieutenant in place took a long extended leave of absence from the 4th Division. Stopping in every week to handle basic reports but for the most part only keeping his place filled and letting the seated officers run themselves and the units. When major events did occur he put himself in the head of the effort to deal with it but he still had much to do as head of the Tetsujin Noble House thus he could not fully devote himself to the Divisions healing work.
He did for a time work fairly close with the 12th division Captain Nonko on development of several items but once finished began to manufacture them using the Tetsujin families fortunes and then sell it to the shinigami. Reasons he was able to get away with this were only that he could just as easily join the side against the 12th division having a secret research facility, and likewise that he would manipulate the funds and leave 12th division penniless to use their pretty building. In this way he benefited 4th squads medical practices, as well as improving his own families standing in Soul Society as a whole.

Name: Nazo no Eien Jigokuro (謎の永遠地獄炉) Eternal Hell Furnace Enigma
Description:
-Sealed: The sealed form of his sword is manifested in a long blade at his right hip, hilted in thick red cord, the blade is as long as his shoulder from the ground but this is only in appearance. The bottom of the sheath is adorned with what most could assume to be simple adornment for decoration, A near mirror of the red hilt but lacking a guard that is wrapped in blue thick cord. This is actually in fact a second blade of the sword and both swords simply Share the same sheath. The blades themselves are normal in length though have a slightly deeper curve them average blades. The guard of the red sword is rectangular and does not extend more then 2 centimeters from the blade in any side with 4 dots running along the lengthwise portions. He carries this blade upside down from how it is meant to be carried, though claims to never understand why people question his doing so.
A third blade rests slightly at angle to this one, and is decidedly much shorter then it as well, measuring only 2-and-1-half handspans total length. It is curved just a deep as the longer blades and the back edged has a notch that allows either of the other two blades to fit sharp edge first into this notched and be held securely. This being mostly useless is only done for release of his shikai form.
-Shikai: Einazo (永謎) Eternal Enigma
The shikai form takes its shape in one of two forms, When the shikai is called with the red blade notched into the smaller it forms a blade of pure brilliant orange fire erupts until it fills the dimensions of the overly cliche buster sword. This is called by Hirugane, The Furnace.
The second form, though I suppose calling it his second form implies it to be a later stage when it is really just a different form from the first, takes shape when the blue blade is notched into the smaller it forms a blade of pure brilliant soothing blue flame that mends all that is burned to ash that it swipes over. This is called by Hirugane, The Dowsing Pool.
A tertiary setting is that the unused third blade in either of these forms is the unused blade covered in the opposing flame from the large buster weapon, along with that color-flames particular attribute. The flames on this can extend at his whim up to three times the length of the blade like a whip.(cliche riiiiiight?)
-Bankai: Nazo no Eien Jigokuro (謎の永遠地獄炉) Enigma of the Eternal Hell Furnace
Hirugane hands, arms, shoulders, chest, and upper back are wrapped up with crimson cloth and then adorned by component parts of his own spirits armored samurai-esque shell, likewise in a deep red color only a tad darker then the crimson under wapping cloth. A moment later a 16x scaled replica of these components forms behind him topped with the helmet and mask of his spirit. Within the heart of this armor an eternally burning furnace radiates and fills the area around with heat, the light within fluctuates between red and blue flames. The left arm is glowing from within with a blue flame of rebirth, the right arm glows from within with the red flame of destruction. Trailing from where shoulder blades would normally be is a series of 100 individual 200 meter long half meter wide diamond shaped overlapping tassles, resembling the knotted robes in shape of japanese shinto shrines.
50 of these glow with an incinerating red flame and 50 of them with a reguvenating blue flame.
His bankai's large form is very vulnerable to damage if one knows where to hit is and as such Hirugane has learned to use the secondary armors defensive attributes to assist him in case of such an occurence. The right arm will burn all that it touches and the left will regenerate all that it touches from the burned ashes
Spirit Description:
The spirit of Fensake zanpakutō is a partially completed suit of armor sitting on a sort of pedestal. The suit of arm has only lower legs and only the upper body leaving the thigh and pelvis vacant. Despite this the armor will move when and if he were to visit it's inner world by joining the pieces of armor with red and blue alternating flames
Inner World:
His inner world is an endles group of japanese style rooms, one of them containing a stand where his spirit sits while at rest. The lighting is severely muted within, only four candles in each rooms at the corners.
Attacks:
Blacksmiths Hammer - In shikai form, Hirugane does find the ability to simply lay on non-ranged damage to be a nuisance so after development over years he has trained his blade to behave in a ranged fashion of a sort. by placing the bust sword and stabbing it into the ground to the hilt he follows up by slamming the blade of the third remaining sword down through the hilt he causes the ground all around him starting at 1-and-one-half meters to erupt upwards with blasts of orange and blue flame that will both burn and regenerate that which is burned equally. Because it does this both instantaneously it deals no damage but the pain for that one excruciating moment is very real and thus proves it an effective riot stopper. These flames are able to burn even spiritually active matter, though still not zanpakutou. Though stronger individual will pof course be far less effected by the assault then others.
Passive Abilities:
Shikai/Bankai - The red flames will burn all non spiritually active material, so anything but a player character and swords. Including burning lopped off limbs as no spiritual power still flows through that portion of the body. (This will also only damage clothing to a point where the burned persons garment look either badass or bodaciously hot but never full nekkid.
The blue flames will revert any burned matter, even that not burned by his own flames back to the material it once was in as ornate a detail as Hirugane would like. Though he must have knowledge of the more complex shapes in which this might form. Such as to recreate a heart from burned slag he must know how the inner working of a heart are put together, and even so must be able to concentrate on the procedure at hand.
