Shinigami App

Name: Tatsuo Ambiance

Age: 23

True Age: 119

Sex: Male

Personality: Tatsuo is very timid when you first meet him unless his adrenaline is coursing through his veins. But in general once he gets to know you he considers you to be a
friend and will try to help you on your journey if you ask. His major downfall is he trusts too easily. TO impress the ladies he usually jokes around and acts like a clutz
to get laughter from them. When Tatsuo gets angered, hardly any talking comenses and he focuses on the task at hand to accomplish his goal. His life is very goal oriented.Now
when Tatsuo is famished his appetite gets the better of him and you better get out of his way! He usually always overeats and gets a stomach ache...he never learns. Tatsuo is not
too fond of drinking alcahol though, getting smashed isn't something he's really into.

Likes: My character loves to fish as well as spend some more of his free time listening to the wind whilst laying in tall grass. He also enjoys to keep his body conditioned for
it keeps his mind clear and makes him feel accomplished

Fears: His first fear is to be exiled from his fellow Shinigami, despair doesnt suit Tatsuo too well. His second fear is heights, he tries not to pay attention to it when
combatting an opponent. Also, his last fear is to be weak and helpless. When he gets this feeling his mind starts going sparadic and his legs buckle.

Fighting Style


General Fighting Style: Quick and effective strikes. Not powerful strikes but precise. Tatsuo prefers speed over strength. At the start of a battle, Tatsuo feels out his opponent and tries to piece together their strengths and weaknesses as time goes by. You can say he definitely uses his noggin in fights, it's what has kept him alive in life so far. If possible he likes to create elaborate traps for his opponent, a cause and effect attack sort of deal. When pinned and about to face death as I have said about his fears, Tatsuo's mind races for answers. In the meantime his physical appearance grows dim very fast.

Strengths: Tatsuo's speed is pretty decent but he wouldnt be considered nearly as fast as the 2nd Division Captain. Also, his zanjutsu is pretty astounding. He needs good swordsmanship to handle his zanpoktou or else he will be damaged wielding it. His stamina will also last a while since he does not rely too heavily on strength

Weaknesses: His kidou skills are not the best and something he needs to work on. In fact when he attempts to use certain spells they tend to explode on him instead of his opponent. Tatsuo strictly conserves his use of kidou unless it is absolutely necessary. Tatsuo's physical strength is nothing to brag about either. It is under par and quite a few people can top him in it.

Spirit’s Appearance:

	http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j145/HaPpY_HiPpY19/fire_woman.jpg

Spirit’s Personality: Ignacia is very calm and collective compared to her master. She can feel out a person's personality and tell how they act while Tatsuo uses instinct.
She is a very wise spirit and knows when and when not to strike a foe. Ignacia tries her best to give Tatsuo advice although he is not fully connected to his zanpoktou. This frustrates her and even sometimes refuses to help Tatsuo unless he connects to his weapon and friend better.

Inner World: Ignacia lives in a burnt valley with dried clay at her feet. Charred trees surround her as well as a volcanic mountain region. Pugeunt fumes of sulfur can be smelled throughout the valley. The skies are plumed with ash and embers from the active volcanoes. A very dark area for the middle of the day

Kidou: Bakudo: 8, 30
Hadou: 1, 54

The red sheathed katana transforms into an elegant Gladius, once used by Ancient Roman soldiers in battle. The length of the blade itself is only 2.5 feet, so the striking range of this weapon is limited indeed but on the other hand it is easier to maneuver and parry. The blade itself looks very tempered and rustic due to it's passive ability although it does not hender its sharpness and durability. The Gladius is a one handed weapon.

Abilities:

Passive ability- Due to the certain spiritual pressure Tatsuo emits through his zanpakuto, It causes the blade's atoms to vibrate rapidly and actually glow orange from the heat it creates. But the malleability of the weapon stays the same as if if were at room temperature . The heat doesn't make his zanpakuto "soft" and bendable. Just imagine putting your hand on a red hot stove top, that's how hot the gladius is. It can slice flesh with ease and if the weapon was held long enough on cloth, the cloth would catch on fire. It takes 3 posts once Tatsuo's shikai is activated for this effect to happen. It builds overtime. Also, if water submersed the blade, it's heat signature would return to normal and take another 3 posts for it to regain it's ability.

Ignacia's Lighter- Given this command, the edge of the scimitar starts to ooze something similar to napalm and the blade's edge turns blue from the heat. The fluid will stick to the edge of the blade for 3 posts. When the blade connects with another the liquid can fling off by the momentum of the strike. Although the napalm can be put out easily if the substance is smothered and not given oxygen or by water. If the fluid were to naturally burn out, it takes just 2 posts for it to do so. The pain emitted from this technique feels like a bite from a serpent but nothing nearly enough to stop the defender from attacking. The blue flame can burn through clothing (and can spread if not attended) as well as heat up metal to uncomfortable temperatures. 4 turn cooldown

Apollo's shotgun- Tatsuo magnifies the blades heat to focus on the edge similar to Ignacia's lighter, except Tatsuo can release this technique with a swing of his blade he can
unleash this heat energy. This technique is more effective when the target is closer and diminishes with distance. The maximum effective range of the shotgun is 4 meters to seer an opponent. The fire will burn for 2 posts naturally or until the opponent smothers the flame. The fire does not cause paralysis, just moderate pain and cannot constrict the opponent in any way. Anything beyond that and it just feels like a hot breeze. If the target is within 2 meters the technique can actually ignite clothing upon contact and cause 2nd degree burns. 3 turn cooldown

Apollo's Rifle - Tatsuo concentrates the heat in the blade to the edge of his blade. A small spike of deep blue fire protrudes from this area and as like the shotgun, it can be swung free. The difference between the two is the blue flame spike can travel at high speeds and can do damage to a precise area at a long distance target (as if you were getting punched from a bulky guy wherever the flame connects). The after effect is that the flame disperses and heat is expelled from the spike. The hot air can cause an opponent to take their breath away for a split second. Apollo's rifle cannot ignite anything however. This technique is hard to use at close combat and takes a few seconds to conjure it as well. No cooldown.

Shield of Athens- Tatsuo channels his spiritual pressure through his blade, with a quick swipe in a circular motion, The blade actually transfers the raw spirit enrgy into a kido absorbant shield. The shield has two effects. Not only does it dampen kido type abilities to make some non fatal, it also slows any object passing through it by 40%. The shield gives off a red glow so it is very visible to see. The diameter of the shield is 1 meter so it can be overwhelmed by huge objects. Also, if a kido technique is strong enough, say a spell level of Hadou 80, it can destroy the shield in its entirety and not weaken it's ability. The shield lasts 1 post before it dissipates and no cooldown required.



Boosts: Tatsuo's hand eye coordination is increased as well as his zanjutsu. His speed is slightly increased as well.


Bankai: (Not yet Obtained)

New Name: Ignacia Sultry

Appearance:

Spoiler:
	http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n563/Babadi163/Tatsuo3.png

Abilities:

Passive ability-(Scorching Salivation) Not only does the blade glow ornage from heat, but Ignacia is now so comfortable in this state that she constantly oozes a substance similar to lava, but not as extreme from the blade. It's like watching a bulldog dog excessively salivate over human food .For this reason Tatsuo refers to this ability as Scorching Salivation. Once Scorching salivation makes contact with the ground, it rapidly turns into igneous rock.Note that the fire can be flung off the blade at high speeds, at close range up to 5 meters the target will be burned by the tear drops. The droplets travel in a triangular shape, with a pointed end traveling in that direction. When the fire pasts 5 meters it cools down tremendously due to the wind resistance and becomes sort of like igneous bullets from there on out. They produce enough speed to be able to puncture skin and travel as fast as his Apollo's rifle. Usually up to 3 droplets are flung with each swing.

Haphaestus' Haze- H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) is shot from shield in a linear direction. The gas is not visible, however it gives off a pungeunt odor as if you were smelling rotten eggs..This also means that if there is no oxygen where the H2S is, then you would find it hard to breath in that specific location. The Gas itself is projected at a rather high speed from Tatsuo's shield in, as I said before, in a straight line as wide as the shield. It can travel up to 30 meters. This gas is also flammable, so tatsuo could use his blade as a lighter and hold it in front of the shield to create a makeshift flamethrower. Once it is lit the gas is burned with a blue hue to it. H2s is heavier than air so it will eventually be at ground level during the if shot upwards during the 2nd post.although the air itself will dilute the gas making it ineffective in 3 posts. Only a rotten smell will remain. 2 post cooldown

Outburst- Heat energy is stored within Tatsuo's shield for 1 post until it glows orange like his weapon. When the technique is ready and an object strikes it, a massive burst of fire is expelled which extends 2 meters in front of it. The flame is hot enough to melt gold over time but it only lasts for 3 seconds. The force from this technique also pushes Tatsuo back a few feet. 1 post cooldown



Titan Aspects (Miens)

Tatsuo has several *modes* of combat he can access. He classifies each of the *modes* as a certain Greek Titan who was infamous for their role to perform certain abilities. While in this state Tatsuo gains certain traits similar to the titan he enrolls under. Only one Mien can be active at a time. A mien stays active until the user dismisses it or enters the fatigued state, or dies. Once a mien is deactivated, Tatsuo must wait 3 posts before entering another. Each mien will have repercussions, as to not make it too overpowering.

Mien of Metis (Titan of Wisdom and Craftiness)- When entering this aspect Tatsuo Gains the ability to cast kido skillfully and effectively. His kido spectrum is greatly increased as to how many kido he can actually perform. This mien grants him intellect in the field of demon arts but at the same time, His sword loses it's passive ability to vibrate until it's red hot. This is not the only drawback. Also, Tatsuo's Shield dissappears, and his zanpakuto will only be able to perform shikai techniques. limiting His zanpakuto's natural abilities to a small amount (Ignacia's Lighter, Apollo's Shotgun, Apollo's Rifle, Shield of Athens) His strength in bankai is also weakened by 25%. Noticeable features when Tatsuo enters this aspect is his sword Illuminates a light blue light. Though this light has no signifigance. Tatsuo can stay in this Mien if he is not overusing medium to powerful kido spells in succession. The following kidou can only be used in this mien and this mien alone.

Now usable kidou: Bakudo 1, 8, 29, 46, 62, 77, 81, 98, 99
Hadou 1, 31, 41, 80, 90, 93, 98

Mien of Pallas (Titan of warcraft)- Tatsuo's reiatsu actually begins to glow a heavy red color around him. His strength is increased 1000% (10x) and his speed also increased by 250%. No kido nor zanpakuto abilities can be used when in this mien however, besides the passive ability of his sword heating up. Tatsuo relies solely on zanjutsu, strength, speed, and hand eye coordination in this aspect. He does still have both his sword and shield in this mien. While in this mode, Tatsuo's ability to piece together plans, and traps are hindered and he strictly is there for the bloodlust. Instinctive abilities are what drive him in this mode, like a wild animal. But, tatsuo keeps enough of his tacttical abilities to realize when it is time to pull out of this mien and continue to fight in a normal state or not. Also, this mien tends to drain Tatsuo's spiritual energy like a SUV guzzling gas. It is recommended that Tatsuo should pull out of the Mien of Pallas in 4 posts or suffer the fatigued status

Mien of Helios (Titan of the sun)- By far this is Tatsuo's favorite mien seeing as his zanpakuto's element is fire. This mien provides an extra boost in fire abilities produced by Tatsuo. In this mode, the Gladius and Shield Tatsuo carries glows a rich yellow color, both items illuminate enough light to make it seem you were staring at the sun iteslf. Granted this does not help him out at all if he were try to be stealthy, his shunpo is easier to track as well seeing as a constant light source is being emitted from his weapons. Both the shield and Sword are under the effect of the passive ability now and the heat intensity of his bankai techniques are doubled. His speed stays the same in bankai form and his strength is the same as well. He can maintain this mien for 6 posts before he should disengage it.

Boosts: Tatsuo's Strength is greatly increased. His speed is increased to 1.5x compared to in shikai form. His zanjutsu is highly increased and his ability to read his opponents movement.

Back Drop


Background: Tatsuo's life was very mundane. Nothing interesting ever happened in his youth. He was average as far as grades went and his parents were not that proud of him for he never pushed himself. In fact his parents gave him an ultimatum when he was 13 years of age, try harder or get kicked out. Tatsuo was appauled by his parents for this reason so he decided to leave. He didn't realize even if they were strict they just wanted to see him succeed. But he was too stubborn to listen to them in his younger years and throughout his later teens. He lived in a shelter not too far from his parent's house. The shelter treated him as well as they could and Tatsuo didn't mind the living conditions. In the meantime his parents grew more frustrated with their disobedient child but they knew just to give him time to turn around. Spending more time with these other kids in the shelter and attneding the school he finally realized the potential he could have if he just tried. By watching the laziness of the others he knew he did not want to live here for the rest of his life. The Rukongai was hard as it is, he didn't need to be brought down by these sins. After finishing his studies with Above average grades (Not the best grades one can get) he decided to show his parents his certificate. He could tell they were very proud of him and Tatsuo could also tell age was starting to kick in for them. He decided to move back in with his family and his newborn sister, Miki, they had conceived a year ago and take care of them as they had tried to do for him when he was younger. So time went by as he took care of him. He kept a steady job washing towels for the local sauna to help pay for utilities at home. Tatsuo rather enjoyed the heat produced by the sauna. He would stay in there for hours when it was closed. He felt powerful in the heat for some reason like he was meant to be there. He absolutely loved his job and his family. The sauna was like his second home. For years he worked there and his way up on the hierarchy for the sauna until he became an assistant manager. This required hard work like when he was in the shelter. But the years were stacking up and his parents were growing weak. Miki was now 18 and was able to help out more which was good for Tatsuo. He loved his sister dearly and wanted her to succeed better than he had. Finally the day came when both of his parents past away and they were buried honorably by their children. Tatsuo didnt want to show it like his sister was but he was pretty upset. For a while his heart was hardened towards everything even his sister. She could barely tolerate living with her brother and Tatsuo knew he was being a jerk. But he needed a way to release his stress. So he turned to his next idols...the Shinigami and the way of the sword. At the sauna in the rock pit he couldn't help but notice glowing metal from there while meditating in a room by himself. The metal seemed to call to him and he stuck his naked hands into the smoldering hot rocks. He pulled out his future...his stress relief. The sword, the spirit known as Ignacia. With his funds saved up he decided to buy his sister a nice house in a safer neighborhood as he pursued his knew dream. To become a shinigami.

Side Notes: Tatsuo prefers to wear his casual clothes instead of his uniform

RP Sample: *RRRRINGRRRINGRRRINGRRINGRRR...SLAM* Tatsuo distastefully slammed his alarm into the wall across the room. He wasn't much of a morning person but you have to do what you have to do to get what you need to get in life. He peered towards His new acqaintence Ignacia although at this moment he did not know the name of his new weapon. It was his second day with it but he knew there was a connection, a bond that needed to be made between them. His growling stomach interrupted his stare as he was now looking at his stained white t shirt. Tatsuo moaned as he drug his feet into the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Empty....ugh" he rolled his eyes and went to the cabinets on the opposite side of the kitchen. Slowly he opened it scanning the cans on the shelves. *Beans beans beans and more beans.* Another loud moan could be heard from his house. "MIKI WAKE UP." Tatsuo yelled with his hands around his mouth for emphasis. No response and he rolled his eyes again. He figured she was out with some friends but why so early. He grew tired of thinking and grew tired of being hungry so once more he opened the cabinet and grabbed a can of you guessed it...beans. He looked at the can on the counter and came across a problem, how was he going to open it. He had no can opener and it was made out of metal so he couldn't use his fingers. A faint whisper filled the room as if it came from the sword. Tatsuo cocked his head staring at it for about 5 seconds then a grin appeared on his face. He quickly ran towards Ignacia and unsheathed her. The chime of metal could be heard as he did this action. Tatsuo quickly ran back towards the kitchen, his grin even wider now. His muscles were tensing as he aimed the blade at the can of beans in a vertical manner. He was preparing his mind to follow through with the strike. He did not care to be delicate with the beans...I mean he had stacks of them in the cabinet. "YAHHHH" with a quick and powerful strike he struck the can with such force that beans basically enveloped the kitchen and Tatsuo's face. A frown came across his brow as he heard an "Ahem" from behind at the kitchen door. Sure enough it was his sister Miki Ambiance. Her face too...was bean covered. Her eye was twitching with rage and Tatsuo's frown became more of a wide eyed scared look."I brought you some eggs for breakfast Tat...but looks like you're not getting any until you clean this place spotless." His face turned blue when he heard the news and he classically fell on the floor with a sigh. His sister calmly walked up to him whilst he was still on the floor paused, dropped the eggs on the floor but still in the bag, and continued to strut to her room.

Happy to make revisions if needed

Average can either be omitted or said in either weaknesses or strengths. But typically above average is in strengths and below average in weaknesses and a brief description of how much he sucks at it or how much he rocks at it will help, a lot. Other things to consider but don't have to address all of them: physical strength, stamina, durability, intelligence/tactics/strategy, hand to hand combat, sensing/observation. At least two of the first three I would like addressed. A bit more on the general fighting style too. Quick and effective and speed over strength doesn't say much. By effective, do you mean precise? Do you go for crippling blows and then chop their head off? Or do you bide your time and wait for the opportune moment to strike? Or do you fight by instinct and try to use your superior skill and speed to win your battles? Just some things to think about as you add or redo.

Kido, you explicitely said you're not very good at. Just list the spells you specifically can use. On that front, for weaknesses, how much does this character suck at it. Does it explode in your face sometimes? Or is it just extremely weak compared to average kido users?

The max number of abilities you can have is four, so you're good there. But I do have some questions on them.

1. Ignacia's lighter, how long will it set the person on fire? How long with the napalm substance stay on the blade to fling off? How can you extinguish the flames? While the person is in pain from burning, can they still move if they can handle the pain?

2. Apollo's shotgun, what is it's maximum effective range? Less than two meters will set you on fire, where is its maximum range where it'll do damage is what I mean. And same applicable questions as above. Your answers to those will determine the cooldown.

3. Apollo's rifle doesn't warrant a cooldown from what I see. Unless it also catches people on fire. Or does an extremely large amount of damage. Speaking of which, go ahead and address that on this one, the others is pretty obvious.

-stepping in- The ability limit was removed some time ago, Jun. I apologize for you not being informed properly. But this is just the heads up.

Edited, hope everything is correct.

Just because of how long the liquid stays on the blade and how long it burns, Ignacia's Lighter is good.

Apollo's Shotgun, I had the same questions as with the lighter, I just didn't retype them. How long will they stay on fire? And can they move while on fire?

I still don't think Apollo's Rifle needs a cooldown. It's above average in strength, but I don't think it's strong enough for a cooldown.

After those two, I will tier you, and then you wait for a second.

Revamped

First approval. After your second, you may begin at the Shinigami Academy. Remember, if you have any questions, feel free to pm the staff.

Tier: 2-3

Seconded

I'm good with the new ability. Just get rid of the cooldown. The effects are pretty decent, but it doesn't warrant a cooldown in my opinion.

The only thing is since he isn't very good at kido, and considering how much he does suck at it, limit it to only four spells total. That's how many spells I limited Kairu, and even Ayumu is limited to four spells, and that vizard is an org. leader and is bad at it, for the exception of those four spells.

Good with me Kidou has been modified to 4 and abilities are acceptable

Approved

And seconded.

I don't see anything wrong with this.. Jun said check it.. i checked it. looks fine. Approved again.

And Seconded...again.
