History:
One hundred eighty years ago Reiji woke up in Eightieth District Rukongai maybe two miles from Ranbatsu Forest. When he came to his senses he started to walk. He didn't necessarily have a place to go, but he walked on anyway. He knew he needed to put space in between himself and the Eightieth district. He knew he would not survive if he stayed there to long. He walked on for days looking for somewhere place to get some rest, but everywhere he went he sensed danger from everyone. He could tell by looking at someone that they intended to do him harm, so he kept walking.
Eventually Reiji was stopped by a man who one could tell by looking at him that he was not going to let him go on without a hard time. There was little Reiji could do to the man. He had no weapon, and there was no doubt about it the man was both stronger, and faster than him. The man didn't want anything in particular other than to spill Reiji's blood. The man made the first move. The man came at him quickly with the intent to finish it quick because before he had made it half way to Reiji he unsheathed his katana that looked like it had been used recently.
Blood dripped down from the tip of the man's katana, and blood ran the whole way down the blade. The man made a vertical slash at Reiji however right before contact was made Reiji side stepped and sent a jab aimed for the man's nose followed by a round house kick aimed for the man's throat. The man was hit in the nose however upon impact he had leaped back away from Reiji meaning to get while his eyes watered up. Reiji moved forward with alarming speed and slammed his body into the man. Now Reiji was not a small child. He towered over anyone his age by at least two feet.
Upon impact the man and Reiji both fell to the ground. However the man still had not let go of his sword. They both scrambled to their feet. The man rising moments before Reiji swung his blade and sliced starting from the top right of his body just under his shoulder going diagonally ending on the bottom left just above his hip. Blood sprayed out of the wound and at this moment he fell into dread thinking he would die. He fell backwards landing four feet from where he previously stood.
As Reiji hit the ground however his dread turned into a rage, and somehow despite the blood flowing from his chest Reiji made his way to his feet. The man made a move towards Reiji and in this moment he knew what to do. The man raised the blade above his head and tried to bring it down on Reiji vertically like before. Reiji side stepped with ease once again however this time Reiji grabbed the man's hands and slammed his elbow into the man's nose. The man howled with pain.
Blood gushed from the man's nose and he released his sword. In that moment Reiji grabbed the man's katana and impaled him through the chest. The man fell to his knees, and looked down at his own sword that had pierced straight through him. Reiji than put his foot against the mans chest, and pushed him to the ground as he withdrew the blade. The man was dead, and Reiji finally felt safe enough to rest. He too fell to the ground and continued to bleed.
Reiji woke up three days later fully bandaged, and laying in someones bed. He tried to sit up however he was met with an insatiable pain, and quickly laid back down. Someone had saved him from death. He laid still, breathing deeply for what seemed like hours before someone came to check on him. It was a boy and a girl who looked to both be a little bit older than him. The girl was definably the older of the two. Upon seeing him awake the girl came towards him asking him how he was feeling.
At first Reiji didn't know what to say. He was alive, and thats better than what he had expected just before he passed out three days before. He was doing well he supposed and so he answered her. She had seen the man attack him from the very beginning. She knew that she would be no help so she ran to find help. She arrived again as Reiji had made it to his feet and watched as he finished the fight. She had brought help, but by that time the fight was finished.
Than she'd brought him here. “Your reiatsu is impressive.” That was the next thing she said. This meant nothing to Reiji. He knew nothing of reiatsu, and he let her know. She laughed at him, and handed him a cup filled with a warm liquid that took a lot of the pain from his wound away. She introduced herself as Aika, and the boy she had come in with who had at this point disappeared she called Mataro. Apparently they were brother and sister, and this was where they lived with their friends.
Aika explained everything about reiatsu, shinigami, hollows, and all the other good stuff to Reiji. Than she told him about where they were, Seventieth district rukongai. She told him being here you had two choices. Become a thief and always move fast, or become a fighter and risk your life everyday. Here organized crime was big. The law here was made by the richest criminal. Street gangs like the one Aika and Mataro were apart of were often paid to do jobs. Aika led this one and it did pretty well. There were about twenty other members besides the two he had met.
Aika's gang had about eight fighters and the fourteen were thieves. She was definitively a thief. Her little brother Mataro was a fighter the best that they had. He was very talented with a blade. However his reiatsu was nothing in comparison to Reiji's. Reiji rested in the bed till his wound had sealed up and become a scar. When the day came where he was strong enough to stand Aika asked him to join up with them. They needed all the help they could get and Reiji was a skilled fighter from what she had seen that night.
It didn't take Reiji to long to realize he'd survive better with Aika and her gang than by himself so he agreed. From than on he was one of them. They gave him a sword and from the very first day Mataro sparred with him. Everyday they sparred and everyday Mataro overwhelmed Reiji. However with every spar Reiji learned more, and soon the battles between the two grew long and more indecisive. Yet Mataro still defeated him. It was than almost two weeks after he arrived when they were hired for a job.
Someone needed a man taken out. Aika picked herself for the job, however she decided she would bring both Mataro and Reiji in case things went wrong. Aika planned to take the man out quickly and quietly. The two warriors were supposed to wait nearby and observe until needed. They found the man in the middle of town. He had two armed guards. They were both large men, and from the moment Reiji saw them knew things weren't going to go the way they planned. Aika trailed behind them quietly stalking her prey. Than she saw her chance.
Aika closed in on her target when an older woman bumped into him. He grew angry than threw the woman to the ground and began to stomp on her. When she was close enough Aika drew her knife and went to stab the man when one of his guards noticed her. He grabbed her by the wrist in which she held the knife. He than grabbed more of her and pulled her in. The target turned around and quickly took in what had happened. Then they threw her to the ground and both guards unsheathed their weapons.
One of the guards raised his sword above his head and swung down. It was than that Mataro stepped in between them and used his blade to block the mans attack. The other guard turned to swing on Mataro just as he saw Reiji's attack that was aimed for him. He evaded at the very last second and turned to face Reiji. At this point everyone near them began to run in different directions screaming, and shouting. The fighters continued their battle.
Both Reiji and Mataro were having a hard time dealing with their opponents however Aika was having a harder time. The target and her had begun wrestling each other for Aika's knife. Mataro finished his opponent first, but the second fell stone cold moments after. Than they both turned to help Aika. They ripped the man from atop her, and slammed him into the ground. Reiji than sliced the mans throat and watched as he bled out. Mataro knelt down to check on his sister. They helped Aika to her feet. They collected their very generous payment, and their gang was fed.
Years passed and with them Reiji grew stronger. His reiatsu nearly doubled in intensity since the day he had joined up with Aika and the gang. Still Reiji and Mataro sparred everyday, and still Reiji was defeated. Their gang had grown more powerful, and both Reiji and Mataro were well known in the seventieth district for their skill with a sword. People paid lots of money for Reiji and Mataro to take on their jobs. Than a man came in and offered them an astounding amount of money for a such a simple job. Than things went down hill.
It was a two person job. Aika and Reiji took on the job. They were assigned to kill a man who lived in Sixtieth district. It took a few days, but they eventually found their target. They found him near a forest on the outskirts of town with no one around for miles. He wore a katana on his hip and held himself with an air of confidence. Reiji could sense the man was skilled in the way of the sword however this would not stop them.
Reiji and Aika were hidden in the trees. The man was walking as if he planned to enter the forest rather close to where the duo was hiding. He stopped when he had almost reached them and than he spoke. “Do you not think I can sense your reiatsu?” The man asked. “I sensed you the moment you walked into town.” Reiji stepped out from behind the tree he was hiding behind. However Aika remained hidden. “I'm here to kill you.” Reiji said as he unsheathed his sword. “Try me boy.” The man did the same and in seconds a savage battle broke out between the two warriors.
Both the man and Reiji fought fiercely. The battle went on and on without either warrior able to take control in the fight. Reiji was growing tired, and it seemed like this man may defeat him. It was than that the man disarmed Reiji and wielding both his and Reiji's sword. The man came towards Reiji, and for awhile Reiji could do nothing except continue to evade the man's assault. Than Aika made her move when the man was distracted. She rushed the man from behind with her knife drawn. Just as she was closing in on him, the man turned and slashed at her.
Aika fell on her knees and than fell forward face into the ground. It was than that Reiji's anger flared. The man turned back to Reiji, and noticed that he approached him with no recognition of fear in his eyes. The man swung at Reiji, but he side stepped and moved in closer. The man swung again with Reiji's blade. This time Reiji didn't side step. Instead he forced the man to fall upon his knees by sheer reiatsu alone. Reiji took back his sword and proceeded to kill the man.
It was than Reiji went to Aika's body and began to sob. He had spent so much time with her and it was hard to believe she was gone. He sat there for an entire day sobbing over her covered in her blood. When he stopped he lifted her upon his back and made his way back home. However no one was happy to see him. Everyone took her death very badly. Mataro took it the worst, and blamed it all on Reiji. Mataro felt that if he had gone instead she would be alive, but Reiji wasn't strong enough to protect so it was his fault.
“It's all your fault. You have two minutes to get your shit and get out of here before I start coming after you.” That was the last time Reiji saw Mataro for almost sixty years. However he never saw the rest of the gang ever again. It could be a good thing though for when the next time Reiji and Mataro met they were enemies fighting to the death. Reiji with nothing, but his clothes, sword, and a little bit of food began to walk.
It was a subconscious choice Reiji made to walk back the way he had originally come. He was going back to where he had woken up. It had been several years since he had been there. He had grown to be a young man and now stood at 6 feet. It was than that he found his way to Ranbatsu Forest. This is where Reiji spent the next several years of his life. These were the years Reiji became truly known to the people of Rukongai as a skilled warrior. He slept high up in tree branches almost every night.
Day after day Reiji had to fight. He learned how to survive, and he became more powerful each day. His name got out and everyone who wanted to be the best in eightieth district challenged him. He loved fighting, it was the only thing that made him forget about how he could not stop that man from killing her. He blamed himself for her death, and over the years it got to him. Anyone who looked into Reiji's eyes saw his sadness. It took him nearly twenty years to get over what had happened. He would never forgive himself, but he was able to put it out of his mind.
During these years Reiji's reiatsu reached new heights. People who didn't have enough spiritual presence had trouble not blacking out from being around him. It was than Reiji decided to learn how to hold back on the reiatsu he let out. It took him weeks, but he figured it out. Reiji decided that someday he would join the gotei thirteen, and be a shinigami. From that day on he fought more fierce. When he realized he had a goal it seemed like nothing could stop him. It was than sixty years later that he ran into his friend Mataro.
“It's been a long time, Reiji.” Mataro hissed as he steadily glared at Reiji. “To long, Mataro.” Reiji meant it, this was his old friend. However something seemed different, and it wasn't the impressive spiritual pressure resonating from his friend. No, the look in his eyes were full of hatred. “There has been a hit out for your life for fifty years now, were you aware?” Mataro began to walk towards him. “That man you killed. He was a very rich and powerful man. In fact after you killed him, his brother took control of his... Assets.” The space between the old friends was closing in. “In fact he had enough money to have a hit put on everyone from the old gang. There all dead, except for us.”
Mataro had placed a hand on the hilt of his katana. “He let me live on the condition I do all his dirty work, and that I find than eliminate you.” Thats when the clash began. They had both become deadly with a blade, and each had reputations that didn't shed any light on their skills with a sword. The battle was close each warrior taking serious wounds, but not stopping or slowing down a bit. However Reiji was prevailing over Mataro. Than Reiji struck Mataro down.
Reiji watched as the life faded from his best friends eyes. The last thing Mataro ever said to him was “I won't ever forgive you.” as the life left him. Reiji fell to the ground, and just laid there. He did nothing for three days, but lay and think. When he stood back up he knew it was time he joined the Gotei. It was than that he made his way to one of the gates around Seireitei. His reiatsu attracted attention, and then he was evaluated.
From what they told him, Reiji had scored unbelievably well. Reiji was at the academy for the full six years. He was top of his class for swordsmanship however his kido skills were lacking to say the least, but he could do kido well enough to barely pass the course. Reiji was placed in the Eleventh division, and within two years had reached eighth seat. Than after another couple years he was moved to fifth seat. Recently however Reiji was transferred to thirteenth division as the third seat.
However Reiji was mistaken, it wasn't being in the Gotei that he really wanted. Reiji just wanted to find more fights.

Name:Njörðr
Description:
-Sealed:The sealed state of Njörðr is nothing more than a basic katana. The hilt is a dark forest green color, and the guard is a simple black. The butt of the zanpakuto is black as well. The blade is at least five feet, and has a lot of scratches and chips in it as though it has been used in battle many times. Written up the side of the blade it reads “Njörðr”.
-Shikai:”Rampage, Njörðr”
Njörðr upon being released turns from the basic katana into a spatha. The blade is four feet long and still has Njörðr written up the side of the blade. The hilt and guard of the sword is a dark green color much like the hilt in its sealed state. The width of the blade is about two inches. The blade looks as though it has been through many campaigns. Scratches and chips are covered all over the blade.
Njörðr's ability is when released the winds pick up to sixty mph. At the end of each of the wielder's post the wind speed picks up by another five mph. The wind speeds will continue to grow until they reach a speed of one hundred thirty mph. The wielder has no problem standing against the wind no matter how fast it reaches. Another thing that Njörðr does upon being released is that a slight drizzle will begin. At the end of each of the wielder's post the rain begins to come down harder and quicker.
-Bankai:”Rasende Njörðr”
When released for the final time Njörðr becomes a celtic long sword. Like the other forms of Njörðr the hilt is the same dark green color. However a thin stripe of green runs up the five foot long blade. Rasende Njörðr is written on the side of the blade and is highlighted by the green stripe. The blade is about three inches wide at the tip however towards the base of the blade it is approximatley four inches. The butt of the sword has an emerald that is permantley secured.
Njörðr raises the wind speeds to one hundred fifty mph upon release, and the rains begin to pour down. At the end of each of the wielder's post the winds pick up another twenty mph. The maximum speed of the winds is four hundred mph. Once again the wielder has no problem standing up against the winds even at top speed. When fully released the wielder is also given the ability to manipulate gusts of wind, and water.
Spirit Description: Rasende Njörðr's spirit is that of a White Tailed Eagle. However unlike most eagles Rasende Njörðr is three times the size of the average human being. With wings that spread to be about twenty four feet long each. Rasende Njörðr stands at ten feet tall. When looking him over various scars stand out all over his body including his face. By looking it is clear that Rasende Njörðr is a rather old bird.
Just by seeing Rasende Njörðr anyone sane would be terrified, and his personality does not help that image. If asked he might describe himself as rough or quick to anger however asking him would possibley set him off, and you could see how he really is. Rasende Njörðr cares nothing for what happens to anyone except for himself and secretly Reiji. He talks down to everyone and never gives a word of praise to anyone. Rasende Njörðr loves to be used at his full potential because he loves a good fight.
Inner World: Reiji's inner world is actually a never ending strip of beach in between a never ending ocean and an impossibly tall mountain side. With sparkling blue water that is clean enough to see the fish and coral reefs from the beach.
Attacks:
Wind Slice:
When used the wielder is able to concentrate a powerful gust of wind into an attack fired from the zanpakuto. Anything that got caught in the way of this attack is sliced as though they have taken a direct attack. This attack grows more powerful in response to the wind speeds.
Water Prison:
When used the wielder is able to target an opponent and an orb of water just big enough to completely submerge the target will begin to form around them. Shikai: If captured in this than the prisoner must wait five posts in the orb. This attack has no deadly capabilities unless the user does a follow up attack when the opponent is released and goes for air. Bankai: If captured in this than the prisoner must wait eight posts in the orb. At the end of the eighth post upon releasing the prisoner instead of the water just falling to the ground, the water instantly rushes towards the opponents air supplies such as the nose, or mouth. If this part succeeds than the attack is fatal.
Wind Parry:
This is more of a defense technique and is normally used when the wielder doesn't have enough time to defend or evade an attack. A gust of wind reaching two hundred fifty mph is blown to defend the wielder. This attack is usable twice in shikai and ten times in bankai.
Tornado:(Bankai Exclusive)
When this attack is used it means the wielder has decided to go all out. This attack grows more powerful based on the speed of the winds. At first the wind speeds go up by thirty mph. Than the wielder's zanpakuto begins to have winds swirling around it until it becomes a full size tornado which the user than wields as his zanpakuto. The swing has only a slight delay in it, but it does slow down his strikes. The wielder has the choice of holding the tornado or it can be fired at a target and will follow them for two posts. This attack can be used eight times every twenty posts (this does not stack up). This attack is highly destructive and fatal.
Hurricane: (Bankai Exclusive)
When activated the winds speeds gain another twenty mph. Like natural hurricanes it has an eye. The eye of the storm is located wherever the wielder is. The eye is about thirty yards in diameter so that the wielder has enough space to fight within the eye of the storm. The eyewall is a highly fatal force to anyone or anything that happens to go towards it. Thunderstorms and powerful winds destroy anything that does not escape it's path.
Passive Abilities:
Reiji has a powerful resistance towards water based and wind based attacks that are aimed at him.

They were both large men, and from the moment Reiji saw them knew things weren't going to go the way they planned. Aika trailed behind them quietly stalking her prey. Than she saw her chance.
Aika closed in on her target when an older woman bumped into him. He grew angry than threw the woman to the ground and began to stomp on her. When she was close enough Aika drew her knife and went to stab the man when one of his guards noticed her. He grabbed her by the wrist in which she held the knife. He than grabbed more of her and pulled her in. The target turned around and quickly took in what had happened. Then they threw her to the ground and both guards unsheathed their weapons.
One of the guards raised his sword above his head and swung down. It was than that Mataro stepped in between them and used his blade to block the mans attack. The other guard turned to swing on Mataro just as he saw Reiji's attack that was aimed for him. He evaded at the very last second and turned to face Reiji. At this point everyone near them began to run in different directions screaming, and shouting. The fighters continued their battle.
Both Reiji and Mataro were having a hard time dealing with their opponents however Aika was having a harder time. The target and her had begun wrestling each other for Aika's knife. Mataro finished his opponent first, but the second fell stone cold moments after. Than they both turned to help Aika. They ripped the man from atop her, and slammed him into the ground. Reiji than sliced the mans throat and watched as he bled out. Mataro knelt down to check on his sister. They helped Aika to her feet. They collected their very generous payment, and their gang was fed.
Years passed and with them Reiji grew stronger. His reiatsu nearly doubled in intensity since the day he had joined up with Aika and the gang. Still Reiji and Mataro sparred everyday, and still Reiji was defeated. Their gang had grown more powerful, and both Reiji and Mataro were well known in the seventieth district for their skill with a sword. People paid lots of money for Reiji and Mataro to take on their jobs. Than a man came in and offered them an astounding amount of money for a such a simple job. Than things went down hill.
It was a two person job. Aika and Reiji took on the job. They were assigned to kill a man who lived in Sixtieth district. It took a few days, but they eventually found their target. They found him near a forest on the outskirts of town with no one around for miles. He wore a katana on his hip and held himself with an air of confidence. Reiji could sense the man was skilled in the way of the sword however this would not stop them.
Reiji and Aika were hidden in the trees. The man was walking as if he planned to enter the forest rather close to where the duo was hiding. He stopped when he had almost reached them and than he spoke. “Do you not think I can sense your reiatsu?” The man asked. “I sensed you the moment you walked into town.” Reiji stepped out from behind the tree he was hiding behind. However Aika remained hidden. “I'm here to kill you.” Reiji said as he unsheathed his sword. “Try me boy.” The man did the same and in seconds a savage battle broke out between the two warriors.
Both the man and Reiji fought fiercely. The battle went on and on without either warrior able to take control in the fight. Reiji was growing tired, and it seemed like this man may defeat him. It was than that the man disarmed Reiji and wielding both his and Reiji's sword. The man came towards Reiji, and for awhile Reiji could do nothing except continue to evade the man's assault. Than Aika made her move when the man was distracted. She rushed the man from behind with her knife drawn. Just as she was closing in on him, the man turned and slashed at her.
Aika fell on her knees and than fell forward face into the ground. It was than that Reiji's anger flared. The man turned back to Reiji, and noticed that he approached him with no recognition of fear in his eyes. The man swung at Reiji, but he side stepped and moved in closer. The man swung again with Reiji's blade. This time Reiji didn't side step. Instead he forced the man to fall upon his knees by sheer reiatsu alone. Reiji took back his sword and proceeded to kill the man.
It was than Reiji went to Aika's body and began to sob. He had spent so much time with her and it was hard to believe she was gone. He sat there for an entire day sobbing over her covered in her blood. When he stopped he lifted her upon his back and made his way back home. However no one was happy to see him. Everyone took her death very badly. Mataro took it the worst, and blamed it all on Reiji. Mataro felt that if he had gone instead she would be alive, but Reiji wasn't strong enough to protect so it was his fault.
“It's all your fault. You have two minutes to get your shit and get out of here before I start coming after you.” That was the last time Reiji saw Mataro for almost sixty years. However he never saw the rest of the gang ever again. It could be a good thing though for when the next time Reiji and Mataro met they were enemies fighting to the death. Reiji with nothing, but his clothes, sword, and a little bit of food began to walk.
It was a subconscious choice Reiji made to walk back the way he had originally come. He was going back to where he had woken up. It had been several years since he had been there. He had grown to be a young man and now stood at 6 feet. It was than that he found his way to Ranbatsu Forest. This is where Reiji spent the next several years of his life. These were the years Reiji became truly known to the people of Rukongai as a skilled warrior. He slept high up in tree branches almost every night.
Day after day Reiji had to fight. He learned how to survive, and he became more powerful each day. His name got out and everyone who wanted to be the best in eightieth district challenged him. He loved fighting, it was the only thing that made him forget about how he could not stop that man from killing her. He blamed himself for her death, and over the years it got to him. Anyone who looked into Reiji's eyes saw his sadness. It took him nearly twenty years to get over what had happened. He would never forgive himself, but he was able to put it out of his mind.
During these years Reiji's reiatsu reached new heights. People who didn't have enough spiritual presence had trouble not blacking out from being around him. It was than Reiji decided to learn how to hold back on the reiatsu he let out. It took him weeks, but he figured it out. Reiji decided that someday he would join the gotei thirteen, and be a shinigami. From that day on he fought more fierce. When he realized he had a goal it seemed like nothing could stop him. It was than sixty years later that he ran into his friend Mataro.
“It's been a long time, Reiji.” Mataro hissed as he steadily glared at Reiji. “To long, Mataro.” Reiji meant it, this was his old friend. However something seemed different, and it wasn't the impressive spiritual pressure resonating from his friend. No, the look in his eyes were full of hatred. “There has been a hit out for your life for fifty years now, were you aware?” Mataro began to walk towards him. “That man you killed. He was a very rich and powerful man. In fact after you killed him, his brother took control of his... Assets.” The space between the old friends was closing in. “In fact he had enough money to have a hit put on everyone from the old gang. There all dead, except for us.”
Mataro had placed a hand on the hilt of his katana. “He let me live on the condition I do all his dirty work, and that I find than eliminate you.” Thats when the clash began. They had both become deadly with a blade, and each had reputations that didn't shed any light on their skills with a sword. The battle was close each warrior taking serious wounds, but not stopping or slowing down a bit. However Reiji was prevailing over Mataro. Than Reiji struck Mataro down.
Reiji watched as the life faded from his best friends eyes. The last thing Mataro ever said to him was “I won't ever forgive you.” as the life left him. Reiji fell to the ground, and just laid there. He did nothing for three days, but lay and think. When he stood back up he knew it was time he joined the Gotei. It was than that he made his way to one of the gates around Seireitei. His reiatsu attracted attention, and then he was evaluated.
From what they told him, Reiji had scored unbelievably well. Reiji was at the academy for the full six years. He was top of his class for swordsmanship however his kido skills were lacking to say the least, but he could do kido well enough to barely pass the course. Reiji was placed in the Eleventh division, and within two years had reached eighth seat. Than after another couple years he was moved to fifth seat. Recently however Reiji was transferred to thirteenth division as the third seat.
However Reiji was mistaken, it wasn't being in the Gotei that he really wanted. Reiji just wanted to find more fights.

Name:Njörðr
Description:
-Sealed:The sealed state of Njörðr is nothing more than a basic katana. The hilt is a dark forest green color, and the guard is a simple black. The butt of the zanpakuto is black as well. The blade is at least five feet, and has a lot of scratches and chips in it as though it has been used in battle many times. Written up the side of the blade it reads “Njörðr”.
-Shikai:”Rampage, Njörðr”
Njörðr upon being released turns from the basic katana into a spatha. The blade is four feet long and still has Njörðr written up the side of the blade. The hilt and guard of the sword is a dark green color much like the hilt in its sealed state. The width of the blade is about two inches. The blade looks as though it has been through many campaigns. Scratches and chips are covered all over the blade.
Njörðr's ability is when released the winds pick up to sixty mph. At the end of each of the wielder's post the wind speed picks up by another five mph. The wind speeds will continue to grow until they reach a speed of one hundred thirty mph. The wielder has no problem standing against the wind no matter how fast it reaches. Another thing that Njörðr does upon being released is that a slight drizzle will begin. At the end of each of the wielder's post the rain begins to come down harder and quicker.
-Bankai:”Rasende Njörðr”
When released for the final time Njörðr becomes a celtic long sword. Like the other forms of Njörðr the hilt is the same dark green color. However a thin stripe of green runs up the five foot long blade. Rasende Njörðr is written on the side of the blade and is highlighted by the green stripe. The blade is about three inches wide at the tip however towards the base of the blade it is approximatley four inches. The butt of the sword has an emerald that is permantley secured.
Njörðr raises the wind speeds to one hundred fifty mph upon release, and the rains begin to pour down. At the end of each of the wielder's post the winds pick up another twenty mph. The maximum speed of the winds is four hundred mph. Once again the wielder has no problem standing up against the winds even at top speed. When fully released the wielder is also given the ability to manipulate gusts of wind, and water.
Spirit Description: Rasende Njörðr's spirit is that of a White Tailed Eagle. However unlike most eagles Rasende Njörðr is three times the size of the average human being. With wings that spread to be about twenty four feet long each. Rasende Njörðr stands at ten feet tall. When looking him over various scars stand out all over his body including his face. By looking it is clear that Rasende Njörðr is a rather old bird.
Just by seeing Rasende Njörðr anyone sane would be terrified, and his personality does not help that image. If asked he might describe himself as rough or quick to anger however asking him would possibley set him off, and you could see how he really is. Rasende Njörðr cares nothing for what happens to anyone except for himself and secretly Reiji. He talks down to everyone and never gives a word of praise to anyone. Rasende Njörðr loves to be used at his full potential because he loves a good fight.
Inner World: Reiji's inner world is actually a never ending strip of beach in between a never ending ocean and an impossibly tall mountain side. With sparkling blue water that is clean enough to see the fish and coral reefs from the beach.
Attacks:
Wind Slice:
When used the wielder is able to concentrate a powerful gust of wind into an attack fired from the zanpakuto. Anything that got caught in the way of this attack is sliced as though they have taken a direct attack. This attack grows more powerful in response to the wind speeds.
Water Prison:
When used the wielder is able to target an opponent and an orb of water just big enough to completely submerge the target will begin to form around them. Shikai: If captured in this than the prisoner must wait five posts in the orb. This attack has no deadly capabilities unless the user does a follow up attack when the opponent is released and goes for air. Bankai: If captured in this than the prisoner must wait eight posts in the orb. At the end of the eighth post upon releasing the prisoner instead of the water just falling to the ground, the water instantly rushes towards the opponents air supplies such as the nose, or mouth. If this part succeeds than the attack is fatal.
Wind Parry:
This is more of a defense technique and is normally used when the wielder doesn't have enough time to defend or evade an attack. A gust of wind reaching two hundred fifty mph is blown to defend the wielder. This attack is usable twice in shikai and ten times in bankai.
Tornado:(Bankai Exclusive)
When this attack is used it means the wielder has decided to go all out. This attack grows more powerful based on the speed of the winds. At first the wind speeds go up by thirty mph. Than the wielder's zanpakuto begins to have winds swirling around it until it becomes a full size tornado which the user than wields as his zanpakuto. The swing has only a slight delay in it, but it does slow down his strikes. The wielder has the choice of holding the tornado or it can be fired at a target and will follow them for two posts. This attack can be used eight times every twenty posts (this does not stack up). This attack is highly destructive and fatal.
Hurricane: (Bankai Exclusive)
When activated the winds speeds gain another twenty mph. Like natural hurricanes it has an eye. The eye of the storm is located wherever the wielder is. The eye is about thirty yards in diameter so that the wielder has enough space to fight within the eye of the storm. The eyewall is a highly fatal force to anyone or anything that happens to go towards it. Thunderstorms and powerful winds destroy anything that does not escape it's path.
Passive Abilities:
Reiji has a powerful resistance towards water based and wind based attacks that are aimed at him.
