Shikai Appearance:
Age: 210, appears 21
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Daigoro stands at about 5'11", with red eyes and hair. His hair is usually tied into a ponytail that reaches his feet, with white cloth weaved throughout, holding it together.Personality:
His features appear to be "wolfish", and he has a stylized tribal wolf tattoo on the back of his right hand. He carries his zanpakuto on his right hip, and usually carries it in an inverted fashion on his right hand. He is ambidextrous, but places most preference on his right hand.
Daigoro's body is unique in that it's resistance to high-level spiritual pressure is next to nothing. It is weaker than most Shingami, and if he is subjected to it for long enough, his body will be physically pushed away by the force.
His reiatsu is white, with red streaks.
Daigoro is quiet. He won't speak his mind unless he think's it's necessary, and usually tries to avoid physical conflict, instead preferring toeither talk about it, or use as little violence as possible. He sees himself as being alone in this world, even with help from allies. But he sees nobody as his enemy, and will only consider them against him if they interfere in what he is doing. He sees all life as precious, and will only attack a full Hollow, even avoiding attacking Arrancar for no reason.History:
He is one of the most loyal allies you can have, possibly to a fault. His trust is easy to gain, extremely difficult to lose, and impossible to get back. That said, he only has a few friends, the rest allies and then annoyances.
Daigoro will only kill for one of two reasons.
1: Protecting either himself or others.
2: Orders.
He is also a person who follows his whims. He'd rather blindly follow a false lead, than miss out on a good one.
Born in 1803, Daigoro was taken away by his father, a now disgraced Samurai Executioner, or Ronin, who vowed revenge on the clan who had killed his wife. His father died two years later, just before he could kill the leader, but Daigoro picked up the spear and thrust it through the leader's heart.Swordsmanship: Intermediate
13 years later, Daigoro was enlisted into the Western Japanese army, and stayed by his general, Mitsunari Ishida, till the end. He was honoured as one of the most intelligent soldiers of his time, earning himself the nickname, "the Wolf of the West". Daigoro was the last soldier to die before the execution of Ishida.
Daigoro was led to Soul Society, but mistakenly put into Rukongai because of his father's low social standing with the rest of Japan as a Ronin. He lived in District 79, and killed just to survive. His most notable killing was the Senkigo Gang, where he killed every single gang member, just because they tried to kill the members of his 'family'.
Daigoro eventually enrolled into Shinigami Academy, but was frowned upon during the training period. Once he had left, he became disillusioned by the illness and suffering that surround him, and began to regret what he had done.
He joined the Second Division, hoping that he wouldn't have to kill unless it was on orders.
His discovery of shikai came after a mission, where Daigoro had mistakenly killed. Regretting it, Ookami decided to reveal to him that his shikai was able to help save more people, and Daigoro took it with open arms.
Bankai, on the other hand, was slightly more difficult. It was quite hard for him to pull it from Ookami, and he had to make a deal with the wolf, involving him actually giving use of his power to the wolf when in bankai.
Kido: Beginner
Shunpo: Advanced
Hand to Hand: Advanced
Zanpakuto:
Kiba Ookami is a wakizashi.Zanpakuto Spirit:
It's hilt is simple, white with red streaks, and the weapon is extremely light for it's size, weighing only about 15 ounces. The blade itself is about one foot long. The number of streaks on the hilt is equal to the number of streaks on Ookami, which is, at the moment, about 5. If the hilt is to become fully red, Daigoro's mind will snap, and he will go insane with guilt.
EXTRA INFO: This zanpakuto, due to Ookami's paranoia about Daigoro's own safety, has imposed a seal on Daigoro's power, reducing it to about 25% of it's usual strength, and converting it into a thin reiatsu shield that surrounds Daigoro's body. The shield blocks latent reiatsu and condensed reiatsu up to kido level 30. Everything above it is unaffected. Unfortunately, it is as strong from the inside as it is from the outside, and disallows Daigoro to use any kido below level 30. The seal itself takes the form of the wolf tattoo on the back of Daigoro's hand.
If Daigoro is to become agitated, the seal will strangely appear to release, but with no effects.
Ookami is a purely white wolf, but with red streaks all throughout his fur. He is quite gruff and ragged, and taller than most men. His eyes are also pure black. Every time Daigoro kills without reason, another streak is added to his body.Inner World:
Ookami frequently speaks in cryptic tones, occasionally just to annoy Daigoro.
The first thing anybody would see about Ookami is that he is paranoid. Completely and totally paranoid. He will even go out of his own way to make sure that Daigoro tries to avoid fights. He also tries to act wise, and regularly attempts to give Daigoro advice.
Daigoro's Inner world is a dense forest with a clearing in the centre. Daigoro spends most of his time in the clearing, as the rest of the forest is dark and unnegotiable.Release Phrase: Hitokuchi (Bite), Kiba Ookami
It is also filled with the bodies and faces of the ones Daigoro killed without mercy or reason, another reason why Daigoro is so afraid of it.
Shikai Appearance:
Daigoro's sword simply doubles in length, to a total of two feet. Strangely enough, Kiba Ookami does not grow heavier, nor grow weaker with that change. Nothing else changes.Shikai Abilities:
Ability One - Seishou-Hakaisha (Energy Cutter)Bankai Appearance:
Kiba Ookami is able to break the bonds between either reishi or reiatsu, one or the other. It cannot, however, break them when they are intertwined, as it will take too much energy for it to separate both types at once. This ability is known as Seishou-Hakaisha, and can be used in either Blade Form or Crescent Form
This attack only lasts for one post, on either Blade or Crescent form. If it cuts through an energy-based, reishi attack, I.E a Cero, the attack itself will divide, and each piece explode. An inanimate object will simply split.
This ability is unable to kill, at all.
Limitations include:
* If Daigoro was to attempt to cut through, say, a spiritually powered being, it would require equal amounts of strength to cut both types of energy, and therefore put too much strain onto Daigoro when sealed, and most likely kill him. If Daigoro's seal was to be released, he'd be able to cut something that was relatively weak, but it would still nearly kill him.
Ability Two - Gyaku Katto (Reverse Cut)
This ability is basically the opposite of Seishou-Hakaisha. When Daigoro uses seishou-hakaisa to cut an inanimate object, it leaves a small portion of reiatsu on the edges of this cut. This ability allows Daigoro to connect all of this reiatsu together, and pull spirit particles back in to rebuild the object.
This is only available in Blade Form, and can only be used on inatimate objects. The object takes three posts to rebuild.
Release Phrase: Runa OokamiBankai Abilities:
Looks: Kiba Ookami simply doubles in length again, coming to a total of four feet. It does not grow stronger, nor does it grow heavier with this change. Nothing else changes in it's appearance. This change happens with a blast of reiatsu, that bleaches Daigoro's uniform pure white, covering it with red streaks.
Family: Defensive
Additional Information - Daigoro is unable to use bankai until he has released the full power of the seal. Daigoro does this by focussing his reiatsu into the wolf tattoo on the back of his hand, and shattering it. This causes almost all of his power to come back, leaving just enough to protect him from the latent reiatsu in the air around him.
It appears as a set of stylized, tribal tattoos that spread up his right arm and to his torso.
This lasts either for 30 minutes from release (15 posts), or until Daigoro releases and uses bankai. If Daigoro uses bankai, the moment that it is over, Daigoro's seal is re-sealed, and he has no access to it for 12 hours (until next thread, or 360 posts). If the 30 minutes runs out, Daigoro cannot use his release for 1 hour (30 posts) afterwards.
Daigoro's powers, when re-sealed from bankai, are just enough to sustain his form as a Shinigami, about 10%. He cannot perform any type of kidou, or use shunpou. However, the barrier that covers him increases to protect him from kido up to level 60. If he simply times out the seal, it is reduced back to 25%.
Ability 1: Wolfborne - Daigoro creates a giant wolf out of his own reiatsu, that prowls around him, watching his enemies. It is basically a gigantic Seishou-Hakaisha, and is far more powerful than usual. This will defend Daigoro, taking both physical and energy-based hits, shrinking as it goes. Once it has completely shrunk, Daigoro's bankai is defeated. The wolf cannot attack, but it is quick enough to block most attacks.Sample Post:
The wolf lasts for 30 strong hits, 60 weak hits, or until Daigoro uses Lupine Frenzy.
The wolf does no damage to anything that it blocks. Other than that, it is basically the same as Seishou-Hakaisha, except more powerful.
Ability 2: Lupine Frenzy - This is a quick-fire attack, and Daigoro can only use it if the wolf is available to defend. Daigoro takes all of the energy of the wolf, and condenses it into the blade of his zanpakuto, whch infuses it throughout his body. This doubles his movement speed for 5 posts. After that, Daigoro's bankai has been depleted, and he cannot use it until he releases his seal again.
Daigoro sighed, watching the people walking in front of him. They seemed - happy. happy with their own existance, their ignorance. So why did they not get left alone? The red-haired Shinigami wondered that. He reached to his zanpakuto by his side. Everything that he had worked for was to protect these humans. Yet... They were never going to be safe.
He sighed again, and sat down, picking up an onigiri roll, biting into it. He closed his eyes, and began to converse with his zanpakuto.
Why do we do this, Ookami?
Because no-one else can. The wolf was silent after that. Daigoro nodded - that was all that needed to be said. He stood up, finished his food, turned, and walked away from that street, with all those happy people on it, laughing, crying, loving. He had a job to do. And it didn't involve sitting there.
