Kyra Rounin

[Shinigami Kyra]

Name: Kyra Rounin
Age: 212 (Appears 21)
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Kyra is a rather short girl, standing at roughly 140cm (4'8"). She has long straight hair, a brilliance of crimson red mane. Her bangs are thick, and normally move to shadow over a single portion of her face, whether it be the left or the right. Her eyes are a similar shade of crimson-scarlet, and her skin complexion is a butter-cream peach. She is quite petite; a small frame, thin arms and legs. Despite her short size, for her height, she seems to hold a majority of her length from her legs. In actuality, it seems her legs grew normally, while the rest of her body refused to do so. This does not appear to make her look awkward in the least, simply put, her legs are long for a short girl... if you're into that sort of thing. Her chest is ample; double C, though obviously not one to stand out amongst the bust size of other Shinigami.

Kyra wears the 'standard' Shinigami uniform, with a slightly altered version, mostly a simple copy of Soifon's own (only recently after joining the second division). She holds no sleeves, and her Zanpakuto sheaths rest on a single side (both on the right), extending the hilt to her left side. There was no reason other than the fact that she thought it looked cool (Soifon looked badass to her until she heard how strict she was). Plus, sleeves always got in the way.

Around her neck, she wears a rather lengthy scarf, which she normally carries with her at all times. This is more of a sentimental piece of clothing.

Personality:

Despite graduating the Academy near the top of her class, her personality does not reflect her skills. Though she does spend a lot of time training, she keeps the appearance that she is far more lazy than she truly is. She slacks off quite frequently, and is often found dozing in the fields somewhere. Her attention lacks focus, which explains why her training in Kido hasn't progressed much since her transfer to the 5th Division.

Kyra is very sarcastic and quite witty with her words. She had a sharp tongue and insults just about everyone, regardless of rank. She has only a very select few that she will ever call by their proper honorifics, and often comes up with nicknames for those of whom she cannot remember the names. She also has quite a vulgar vocabulary, and doesn't seem to make it look like she knows her place.

Due to her 'behavior' problems, she was sent to the Second Division... which she absolutely despises. Things she had once gotten away with she no longer can. She'll attempt to talk her way out of anything she possibly can, but with a far more strict Captain... well... it's fairly easily seen as attempting to row a canoe up stream with no paddles... in a hurricane... and tornado... while the boat's sinking... and two blocks of cement strapped to her legs... and... well, you get the idea.

History:

Life

Her name... officially... was never really recorded. Daughter to a prostitute who only had the name she was given by her owner, she was born into a world of servitude. At a young age, she learned obedience and what it meant do disobey an order. Any tear shed would result in spending days in a small, cramped room with no windows, All her life, she had worked as a serving girl until the day the 'Obaasan' had decided she had reached womanhood. It seemed her virginity was not the only thing that had been lost that awful, pain-filled night as she completely shattered her own sanity, as well as her own voice. Still, she always did was she was told in fear of death. She had to do whatever she could to survive.

She became nothing but a doll in her trade; a simple shell that obeyed the commands of her Obaasan. Of course, without any real emotion, she was simply another pretty face. With a lack of interest on her, she was eventually sold off when she was considered 'too old,' at the age of 20. For five years, she had been sold or traded through the black market, her eyes becoming witness to things no human soul should ever see. Despite having been born into such a trade, there was a point where a line had been crossed, and the emotionless girl snapped. Her defiance had resulted in not only death, but a slow and painful one.

She held no attachments, no memories of happiness... all that she had known was pain, misery, misfortune, and servitude. Still, she was unable to follow most other souls in their journey to Soul Society. Anguish... hate... lust... these emotions had continued to roll around within her. Whether the fates had come to see her sad, pathetic torture-filled life that had been filled with little to no fortune as punishment enough or not, before her soul could become fully corrupted and becoming a full-fledged hollow, the unnamed soul was confronted by a Shinigami, and reborn in Soul Society.

Rebirth

Kyra was reborn in the Hokutan, the third District of Rukongai, part of West Rukongai. She initially had no real ambition in becoming a Shinigami, though it was due to her spiritual pressure and simple curiosity of that alone that deterred her path to the Shinigami Academy.

Upon entering, Kyra developed a high ability to perform Kido. She excelled in it greatly. By her words, it took a different 'form of focus' that most other tasks required, one that seemed 'interesting' enough for her to actually try. Despite her outer appearance of slacking off and never seeming to study or practice, she was high above her classmates, and only kept up the appearance of a slacker to not draw attention to herself. Quite frankly, she didn't want to become one of those people who looked down on others because they thought they were good at what they did.

Eventually, Kyra graduated the Academy and was placed under the 5th Division, under Captain Aizen and Lieutenant Momo. Despite not getting along with many others in her squad, due to her dry and rather vulgar humor, she found a kindred spirit in her Lieutenant, whom she later found out also excelled greatly in the art of Kido. Aside from those she had been blindly forced into calling, Momo was the first person she ever respectively referred to by proper honorifics.

It was then that she was brought into specialized Shikai training, for those who were able to hear the voice of their Zanpakuto, but lacked the instinct to fully awaken their spirit. Several months had passed, and though her progress was slow at first, eventually, she was able to call out her Shikai's name. The moment she developed the skill, it seemed the techniques had come far more easily... that, and the fact that Kyra had finally found out just how annoying her Shikai could be. Still, eventually, Kyra was able to bond with Kagutsuchi, and the two became as close as any other Shinigami would with their Zanpakuto Spirit.

Despite the daily activities of a normal, unseated Shinigami, Kyra had little action during the invasion of Ryoka, and the sudden corruption within the Captain's Squads. Upon the desertion of her Captain, Kyra became a seated Shinigami, and advanced to 12th seat. Without a Captain, it seemed the 'lazy' woman was able to get away with doing little to no work... however, this position only lasted for so long.

Due to her 'behavior' problems, she was sent to the Second Division

It was during a mission to the real world that Kyra stumbled into one of her greatest mental challenges. It was supposed to be a standard, over-watching mission; look over a city that held great spiritual pressure, for it attracted more hollows than normal. It was a city within America that Kyra had watched over, near the north east coast. There had been a strange rise in spiritual pressure, thus an investigation was suggested. It wasn't high on the list, so the mission was given to the twelfth seat, Kyra.

She didn't see it coming... hell, she didn't even know what 'it' was. The only thing she remembered was sitting atop a water tower, watching over the town, after defeating a few minor hollow. Her indicator located a few more, and she recalled heading in that direction. Then... a strange sense of spiritual pressure... then, nothing; complete darkness.

She remembered waking up in a strange place; an endless field of green grass. It was here that she came across her first encounter with her inner hollow, though at the time, she was uncertain of exactly who or what she was. Kyra had been greatly injured, though from what, she was uncertain. The long black haired, taller version of her stood over her, licking her lips, and asking if she desired to live.

To this day, Kyra didn't remember if she ever answered the girl. Most likely, she had replied yes. When she finally came to, she was back in Soul Society, in the medical wing of Squad 4. She couldn't remember anything of what had actually happened, but reports had stated that she was found near death... and appeared that one of her injuries had been treated. No one was able to explain to her what caused the attack, nor who was behind it. Still, with Aizen's research of Hollowfication, Kyra suspects that she may have been encountered by an Arrancar, perhaps attacked from behind, unable to see it coming. In her report, however, she did not mention anything of her strangely acquired abilities, nor has she expressed her troubles to any of the other Shinigami. She fears that this dark power, that seems so similar to a Hollow's, would get her exiled from the Soul Society.

While she retained most of her personality, it seemed along with this development of an 'inner hollow,' came the drive to become stronger. There were times where Kyra was taken, what seemed like, away from reality to come face to face with this unnamed demonic, twisted mirror image of herself. In order to prevent herself from becoming completely lost within her own darkness, Kyra continues to this day to work with her Zanpakuto in order to master it before her Inner Hollow. It took an immense amount of training, training that she would normally never attempt. After several, what seemed like, decades, she eventually developed Bankai.

The fight alone was unexpected; a supposed fight to the death with her own Zanpakuto spirit. While at first she had been reluctant to fight her, it seemed in order to not only avoid her own death, but succumbing to her own Inner Hollow, she forced herself to move on the offensive. After what seemed like an eternity, she was rewarded with her Zanpakuto upgrade.

Despite having learned her Bankai, she refuses to move up in rank. She likes her current seat; a seat without responsibility. Nevertheless, she had come close, on numerous occasions, of having her secret become known. It's a surprise to her own self that she had been able to keep it hidden for so long... still, any mission that involved her being away from Soul Society, alone, she jumped on... something that had always seemed out of the ordinary for her due to her mostly lazy nature. Still, being forced to do missions was far better than lounging about and randomly have her inner hollow attempting to take her over...

Swordsmanship: Intermediate
Kido: Beginner
Shunpo: Advanced
Hand to Hand: Advanced
Zanpakuto:

Name: Kagutsuchi (カグツチ)
Translation - Kagutsuchi is the God of fire in Japanese mythology.


(Minus the Dagger)

As one of the very few, Kyra holds two Zanpakuto swords that are one in the same in spirit. Both blades are moderately-curved, Japanese swords with a blade length of greater than 60 cm, with an oval guard, and blue cloth-wrapped hilt. One blade is 65cm, which is held in her right hand, the other 70cm, which is held in her left. There is a slight pattern along the guards, though nothing too out of the ordinary, or even original for that matter; simply two flame-like designs that spiral around the edges like waves on both swords.

She holds two sheaths, both of which open at the right side of her body, hung from a dark ruby-red strap that hangs from her opposing shoulder. One hilt hangs at about 45 degrees, while the other is held at a horizontal level.

Zanpakuto Spirit:

Kagutsuchi is a humanoid dragon spirit. Her skin is a dark crimson color, similar to Kyra's own hair, but a bit less vibrant. Her hair is a dark maroon-violet mix, which is held up in a rather elegant fashion. It is pulled into two directions, each thickly mannered down into braids toward the middle to the end. She wears very revealing clothing, normally a small black top, which seems to stop just below the breasts with no sleeves. Around her hips is merely a stringed together piece of clothes, that hangs loosely over her private region in the front and back. She wears thigh-high stockings that are a dark scarlet hue, stripped near the top, and toe-opened shin high boots.

Kagutsuchi has what most would assume is Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, or ADHD. She is quite the hyper spirit, and often rambles on about random things. She goes from subject to subject, without any real connection, and has a habit of speaking her mind out loud. Kyra has long since abandoned making any sort of connection between subjects throughout their conversations. She is often distracted by shiny objects, and seems to hold a sense of fashion. She doesn't really like to fight, though will do so when commanded by Kyra. She seems to hold a bit more initiative in training, however, though sees it more as a game than actual work. Ironically enough, despite being a Fire-based spirit, she loves to swim. When Kyra is busy, she spends most of her time swimming in the small river bank in Kyra's inner world, simply relaxing in the water.

Kagutsuchi finds Kyra to be her 'best friend,' rather than fighting comrade. She would rather spend the day, talking the crimson haired girl's ear off rather than get any actual training done. She calls her training 'play time,' and will often yell at Kyra to stop doing work and to play with her. Kagutsuchi deeply cares for her mistress, and would do anything to protect her.

Inner World:

Within a deep cavern, holds an ancient ruins that seem to have aged greatly over time. A large waterfall sets over the ruins, which runs into a small riverbank. There is a large hole in the ceiling, where sunlight shines through. It seems it's always day there, at least, whenever Kyra tends to 'visit.' A bit of green grows within the cavern, with moss alongside the ruins and broken marble stone. The river itself flows out through a small entryway, though neither Kyra nor Kagutsuchi seems to know where it leads.

Inner Hollow:

Unknown to Kyra, her Inner Hollow was not the result of some 'random experiment.' Rather, due to the immense hate her soul had received moments before 'purifying,' a strange phenomenon had occurred. While normal purification ceremonies involve all aspects of a hollow being removed from the soul in order for it to travel to Soul Society, due to the fact that her soul had only been in the early stages of becoming hollified, partial remains of that very hollow remained within her soul, hidden for hundreds of years. While it had merely been a small, barely noticeable portion of her soul, it was tainted nonetheless. That tainted portion eventually grew to the Inner Hollow that now attempts to fully take control over the Shinigami.

Kyra's inner hollow, whom she has now dubbed 'Lust,' acts just as her name suggests. Her appearance is a mirror version of Kyra, albeit a bit more mature in some areas. She has long flowing maroon hair, several shades darker than Kyra's, and dark eyes. She's about a foot taller than Kyra herself, with most of the length going to those legs of hers. She wears the opposing colors of Kyra's Shinigami attire.

Unlike Kyra, her Inner Hollow is very hyper. She enjoys a good fight (doesn't every inner hollow?), and seems very seductive. In fact, during their first encounter, Kyra's inner hollow attempted to seduce Kyra herself! She's quite the masochist, and gender really isn't a problem with her. Boys, girls, hollow; she loves'em all. She constantly compares fighting to sex, as though the two were one in the same, and often expresses 'moans of pleasure,' when facing a powerful opponent. Someone who forces her to reach beyond the limit of her powers is simply orgasmic in her mind.

Like all inner hollows, she understands that she is merely a passenger while watching the driver of their car attempt to get them where they need to go. At times, she'll feel the need to kick Kyra out the driver's side door and take firm grip of the wheel in one hand, while flipping the rolling-on-the-ground girl off during passing. Nevertheless, she, surprisingly enough, does like the 'lazy' aspect of her master. If something requires work to get things done, then take the road with less work! Why do the work if you can order someone else to do it? Hell, becoming Captain had been the best thing for the inner hollow. Boss'n people around was always something she felt she was good at... well, despite the fact that she herself isn't the one actually bossing people around... at times like these, though, she does consider herself and Kyra one in the same.

Hollow Mask:

In accordance to shape, it is a normal skull-shaped mask. However, just above the eyes is a thick blue lining, with a slightly thinner one below both eyes, and another running vertically down the jawline both above and below the teeth. Her eyes do not hold a yellow tint, but instead, hold her original crimson. Her pupils become non-existent, and like normal, the whites in her eyes become covered with a black, liquid-appearing color.

In order to summon the mask, Kyra takes the tips of her index and middle finger and draws a half heart, starting from the top of her head, down to her chin. It doesn't matter in which direction she does this (right hand or left hand), and it only requires half the heart-shape to be drawn for the full mask to appear. However, the actual visual appearance of the mask's manifestation is dependent upon the way it is drawn out.

Hollow Powers:

Berserker

Description of Attack - Hollow Kyra fights like a berserker and is shown to be sadistic, she is also capable of ignoring any injuries Kyra has sustained up to the point of Kyra taking possession of the body, with considerably increased speed and strength.
Limitation - The more this ability is used, the more her body is easily injured. Simply put, all manner of defense is lost in order to obtain the perfection of offense. Ignoring pain and so forth in order to continue a non-stop assault. Not only that, but the more she uses this ability, the more easy it is for her Inner Hollow to take full control.

Telekinesis

Description of Attack - Kyra's inner hollow is able to use her swords without even wielding them within her grasp. The dual blades twirl around her body, and with or even without a wave of her arm, can summon one of them to attack physically. Similar to Byakuya's Senbonzakura, Kyra is able to use her hands to increase the speed of her swords. Kyra herself gains this ability when she learned to control her Vizard form.
Limitation - Kyra is unable to summon Kido Spells with her blades away from her. This is normally only used to summon her blades to her, or to use them in a physical manner. It does not require that much effort to perform, and no added attributes are given for this technique.

Hair

Description of Attack - Kyra's hair becomes incredibly strengthened and a weapon all in its own! Thick strands can sharpen to the point where they become Kyra's most used weapon. They can also extend in length, and due to the strength, can even be used to project Kyra's own body, similar to how a spider does.
Limitation - The full extent is six meters. Her hair cannot stretch any further than that length. Her hair can be cut, though with this technique, her hair becomes 3/4 the strength of her own tier level (in comparison to her own Shikai/Bankai at the time), meaning that her hair cannot replace her sword or extend past it in strength. However, her power tier does reflect the strength of her hair during this ability.

Release Phrase: Burn Blue, Kagutsuchi!
Shikai Appearance:

(I've noticed every time I edit, the above 'release phrase' deletes, so I'll add it here as well)

Release Phrase: "Burn Blue, Kagutsuchi!"

In the released state, her swords become a dark, cobalt color, similar to how Rukia's blade becomes all white. The guard is removed, though there seems to be no other visual difference aside from the color. It does, however, increase greatly in temperature, making it difficult for others to grasp if she were to drop one or both of her blades. It holds a dark blue, flame-like aura when first released and when conducting various kido-based attacks.

Shikai Abilities:

Kyra's Zanpakuto is a fire-based Zanpakuto. Also, any flame-based Kido techniques used through the sword become blue flames instead of red. Most of her attacks are simply variations of Hadō (破道, "way of destruction") spells, only by name. Kyra herself is simply terrible with Kido.

Yakedo (Burn)

• Description of Attack - Initial Activation of Fire Abilities. This simply 'engulfs' her sword in blue flames. She must perform this action before attempting her fire-based Kido attacks.
  
• Type - N/A
  
• Effects - Fire Elemental Activation
  
• Range - Self-Activation
  
• Limitation - Read "Extending Elemental Limit" Below.
  

Konpeki Shakkahō (Shot of Azure Fire)

• Description of Attack - A modified version of Hadō 31; Shakkahō, which fires a ball of red energy at a target. However, instead of red, the energy is blue, and is usually produced with a swing of her blade. The spell becomes stronger if Kyra recites the entire incantation.
  
• Type - Offensive
  
• Effects - Kido-based elemental attack, essentially the same as its counterpart. The strength is slightly increased from its Kido counterpart (roughly 15-20% stronger), though requires a bit more than half the spiritual energy from Kyra herself, though drains the remaining energy respectively from her Zanpakuto's Shikai.
  Tier Effect: Since this is her most basic attack, it does minimal damage. Two tiers below to one tier below would take the full effect of the damage. Those of the same tier level may feel 75% to 100% of the damage. A single to two tiers above would feel 25% to 75% respectively. Three tiers above may hold little (25%) to no effect.
  
• Range - 15 - 20 meters
  
• Limitation - Requires a moderate amount of reiatsu (roughly 15-20%). Though it requires less 'energy' from Kyra herself, it essentially drains the rest of the energy from her Zanpakuto's Shikai.
  

Konpeki Kouen Maru (Azure Flame Circle)

• Description of Attack - With a swing of her swords and a spin of her body, Kyra is able to blast a wave of blue flames in a three-hundred and sixty degree angle. This is normally used as a defensive maneuver when surrounded. Can be used as a shield of sorts to defend against some minor/low powered attacks.
  
• Type - Defensive
  
• Effect - Defensive maneuver, or a weak surrounding, close-range attack. This shield is a 'burst' effect, which means it only lasts briefly (around fifteen or so seconds) to subdue an attack before diminishing.
  Tier Effect: This shield will normally hold attacks from those two tiers below or further, and withstand the attack fully. A single tier below to a single tier above, it may hold up to various attacks, though it may not hold up to a character's most powerful attack. Two tiers above, it holds minimal chance of defending; normally only against the most basic of the character's attack, whereas with a character's most powerful attack, the shield may only take a percentage of the attack (roughly 10-25%), while Kyra takes the rest in full. Three tiers and above, the shield will simply crumble.
  
• Range - Self, or plus one other; one meter radius
  
• Limitation - Requires minimal to moderate reiatsu (roughly 10%). When used as an attack, it a fairly weak attack, though the flames are hot enough to at least force those surrounding her (at equal to less spiritual strength) to back away. When used as a shield, it can repel attacks that are two sub-levels below her, or burn attacks one level below to equal. Any attacks at equal strength level will negate the attack. One sub-level higher is the maximum the shield can withstand. Two sub-levels higher, the shield cannot hold the attack, though it can be used to take some of the damage, resulting in a slightly reduced overall damage to Kyra herself. Since the length of time is so brief, should more than one attack strike roughly around the same time, where they to be weak attacks, the flames would still engulf the attack similar to as though it were a single attack. The result of variously mixed powered attacks would depend upon the combined power off the attacks. If they came in at different angles, they would be considered separate forces hitting the shield at different points; the shield itself would react to each attack in its own accord, as though it were a single attack. Where the combined attacks joined together, the result would be dependent upon the combined overall strength of the attack at hand, and hold the effects, respectively, of the list above.
  

Kouenno Sōkatsui (Azure Blue Flame, Crash Down)

• Description of Attack - A modified version of Hadō 33; Sōkatsui, which Fires a burst of blue spiritual energy at a target in a similar manner to #31, but over a wider area and with more power.
  
• Type - Offensive
  
• Effect - Long Range, Kido-based elemental attack, essentially the same as its counterpart. The strength is slightly increased from its Kido counterpart (roughly 15-20% stronger), though requires a bit more than half the spiritual energy from Kyra herself, though drains the remaining energy respectively from her Zanpakuto's Shikai.
  Tier effect: As this is her most powerful Shikai ability, it respectively takes a good portion of her spiritual energy and will effect those of a lesser tier in kind. Two or more tiers below will receive the full effect. One tier below to one tier above will normally take 75% to 100% of the attack. At equal tier, this attack may be countered by the opponent character's most powerful attack in kind. Those two tiers above will roughly only receive 50% of the damage or lower (if they are defending in kind), while three tiers and above will have little to absolutely no effect.
  
• Range - 20 - 25 Meters
  
• Limitation - Requires a moderate amount of reiatsu (roughly 15-20%). Though it requires less 'energy' from Kyra herself, it essentially drains the rest of the energy from her Zanpakuto's Shikai.

Shikai Extension Period: Kyra has been able to produce her Shikai for quite a long time. Of course, this is in its dormant phase (as she calls it), where she does not activate its elemental phase. If kept to melee attacks, without using its elemental properties, Kyra can keep her Shikai for roughly two hours. This may seem like a long time, but this is obviously the maximum she can hold, without using any techniques, or activating her element. When activating Yakedo (Burn), the Shikai's true ability is brought forth and flares its element freely. This essentially cuts that two hour limit by roughly 20%; being able to hold it for about an hour and a half. Again, this is merely using minimal spiritual energy. Were she to use this to train in sparing, it would raise to a third to possibly half in total. Were she to be simply training in melee combat during Yakedo, she would be able to hold it for roughly an hour max. The three remaining abilities drain her Shikai and her own spiritual energy respectively, of course.

Extending Elemental Limit: Should she essentially attempt to draw out more spiritual energy from her Zanpakuto than her Shikai or Bankai can produce, the flames surrounding her sword will diminish. Though neither the Shikai nor Bankai won't be completely lost, she will be unable to activate her element, and be reduced to normal physical attacks. This essentially is a 'warning' point, where the Zanpakuto's Elemental Energy has diminished below five percent. The remaining energy is automatically locked in order to keep her Shikai or Bankai activated, thus the flames are unable to be summoned. Kyra will still be able to fight, and hold spiritual energy of her own, though her Zanpakuto will be only useful for melee attacks. She will be able to produce Kido-based attacks on her own, though very minimal (roughly 20% of normal; i.e., highest level and actual strength of the attack minus 20%).

Bankai Appearance:

"Konpeki-Hi Kagutsuchi"

Fire engulfs Kyra's body, not harmful to her, within about a meter radius all around. When the flames disperse, her two swords hold a fiery aura, and each swinging attack is encased in a small fiery burst. She then brings both swords in front of her, ends touching, and the two blades fuse together to form a dual bladed staff. She can separate them to perform various attacks, but can always reconnect them. This style of fighting she has recently developed upon further Bankai training.

Bankai Abilities:

Sōren Kouenno Sōkatsui (Twin Lotus Azure Fire, Crash Down)

• Description of Attack -Basically, a double-blast of the normal Sōren Sōkatsui. Both swords firing the blast, combining together into a far larger blast.
  
• Type - Offensive
  
• Effect - Long Range, Kido-based elemental attack, essentially the same as its counterpart. The strength is slightly increased from its Kido counterpart (roughly 15-20% stronger), though requires a bit more than half the spiritual energy from Kyra herself, though drains the remaining energy respectively from her Zanpakuto's Bankai.
  Tier effect: Two or more tiers below will receive the full effect. One tier below to one tier above will normally take 75% to 100% of the attack. At equal tier, this attack may be countered by the opponent character's most powerful attack in kind. Those two tiers above will roughly only receive 50% of the damage or lower (if they are defending in kind), while three tiers and above will have little to absolutely no effect.
  
• Range - 35 Meters
  
• Limitation - Requires a moderate amount of reiatsu (roughly 25-30%). Though it requires less 'energy' from Kyra herself, it essentially drains the rest of the energy from her Zanpakuto's Bankai.

Sōren Kouenno Shakkahō (Twin Shots of Azure Fire)

• Description of Attack -Basically, a double-blast of the normal Sōren Shakkahō. Both swords firing the blast, combining together into a far larger blast.
  
• Type - Offensive
  
• Effect - Long Range, Kido-based elemental attack, essentially the same as its counterpart. The strength is slightly increased from its Kido counterpart (roughly 15-20% stronger), though requires a bit more than half the spiritual energy from Kyra herself, though drains the remaining energy respectively from her Zanpakuto's Bankai.
  Tier effect: Two or more tiers below will receive the full effect. One tier below to one tier above will normally take 75% to 100% of the attack. At equal tier, this attack may be countered by the opponent character's most powerful attack in kind. Those two tiers above will roughly only receive 50% of the damage or lower (if they are defending in kind), while three tiers and above will have little to absolutely no effect.
  
• Range - 35 Meters
  
• Limitation - Requires a moderate amount of reiatsu (roughly 25-30%). Though it requires less 'energy' from Kyra herself, it essentially drains the rest of the energy from her Zanpakuto's Bankai.

Sōren Konpeki Shakurahōtsui (Shot of Cobalt-Violet Twin Lotus Fire, Crash Down)

• Description of Attack -Essentially, the combination of Sōren Shakkahō and Sōren Sōkatsui. This is Kyra's most powerful attack. First, her blades must be separated, and she must take nearly a full minute to charge both attacks simultaneously. Without the mask, it drains a good deal of her reiatsu;a bit over half just for the attack itself. With the mask, a little over thirty percent. After the two attacks are charged within her blades, she fuses the hilts together to bring about her staff, and with a spin, fires off the gigantic combination Kido.
  
• Type - Offensive
  
• Effect - Long Range, Kido-based elemental attack, essentially the same as its counterpart. The incantation does not effect this spell, as it is her most powerful attack.
  Tier Effect: As this is her most powerful Bankai ability, it respectively takes a good portion of her spiritual energy and will effect those of a lesser tier in kind. Two or more tiers below will receive the full effect. One tier below to one tier above will normally take 75% to 100% of the attack. At equal tier, this attack may be countered by the opponent character's most powerful attack in kind. Those two tiers above will roughly only receive 50% of the damage or lower (if they are defending in kind), while three tiers and above will have little to absolutely no effect.
  
• Range - 40 Meters
  
• Limitation - Requires a moderate amount of reiatsu (roughly 35-55%). As such, she can only perform this once during her Bankai. Should she attempt to go beyond this, a further limitation is listed below.

Bankai Extension Point: Should she attempt to draw even further than this limit (for example, attempting to draw out 20% energy while she only has 10% remaining, where the initial 5% warning were not initiated), there would be a 33% chance that the attack would either succeed, diminish before finishing, or simply blow up in her face before launched. After one of the three above occurs, her sword deactivates from Shikai, and Kyra is nearly completely drained of spiritual energy, unable to produce even Shikai without rest or healing.

Sample Post:

"Yare, yare," a muttered tone escaped from those partially parted lips that held a faint smile. A small hand raised to wipe those tired pair of scarlet hues as a mild yawn escaped shortly after. Those tired eyes fell upon those currently set before her, all standing in guarded stances. It was obvious by not only the tone in her voice, but the apparent lack of even drawing her sword that the young Shinigami was certainly not fully awake for such an early morning training session. Nevertheless, she knew that missing even a single meeting with such a strict Captain would more often than not have her waking up even earlier in the morning, and the petite woman certainly did not want to be scrubbing floors before sunrise.

Kyra wasn't well known for her swordsmanship... hell, as far as she knew, she wasn't 'well known' at all. Still, she seemed to find comfort in mixing her style with Kido, which had hastily become the norm for the newer recruits. The woman took in a deep breath and let it out before unsheathing her Zanpakuto and presenting it defensively before her. That small left hand gripped the blade, her right strangely enough, held out to her side. She was slightly better at hand to hand combat. Today's training, luckily for her, was a mixed sparring session, which meant free form, no Shikai. Yesterday, which had been pure sword play, had her more frustrated than finding out her new living quarters held a nice view of the rising sun. Bastards; she had stated numerous times she wanted a room toward the west side!

Her thoughts betrayed her only for a moment, those fiery hues blinking back to reality as her left hand raised her blade up to block an oncoming strike. The clang of their blades echoed as the woman was able to hold the attack off with one arm while extending her free hand outward.

"Hadō 31; Shakkahō," Kyra muttered the phrase as a light sphere of spiritual energy collected within her flattened palm. Of course, being a training session, not that much energy was put into the blast; merely enough to knock the attacker back. Skipping the incantation also aided in weakening the spell all together. With a quick turn, the petite woman found herself at the mercy of another oncoming foe. Her blade tilted vertically to parry, though this man seemed far stronger in physical appearance, and thus, the force of the attack itself was enough to send the short girl skidding back. Her arms flailed about in order to keep her balance, and with a quick shove of her blade to the dirt ground below, she finally came to a stop.

Those crimson strands danced violently about as she fixated her weight and shot forward, yanking her sword from the ground and heading straight back toward her opponent. Instead of a frontal attack, Kyra sprinted hastily toward the right, circling around the man that was easily three times her size. As the man extended his own hand and fired off a Kido blast of his own, the woman used her momentum to hastily roll out of the way, barely dodging underneath the quickly-fired attack.

The woman rolled twice before landing in a crouch just a few feet from the man, clouds of dust rising up from her tumble. With her blade set behind her, her other hand shot out, her palm facing the man set before her.

"Hadō 31; Shakkahō," she enchanted once again as another fiery ball of Kido shot out from her hand. With their range closed in, the blade was fired right into the man's chest, and with a quick pounce, Kyra lunged forward, swinging her blade out from behind her to follow up with a quick slash.

-----

"Oi," Kyra rubbed the back of her neck several hours later, a towel draped over her shoulders as she leaned back on a single arm. As always, the training had certainly taken a lot out of her. Despite having won her match, she was fairly confident that it went unnoticed by the brilliant demonstration that had followed her own. Still, it mattered little to her. She did what was expected of her, and that was that. She had participated in the training, and had even felt she had learned a few things during the match. Still, she couldn't help but feel as though the day could have been far better spent sleeping in her comfortable cot.

The woman leaned back against the wooden panels of the floor, legs lazily dangling off the steps that led down to the slightly less filled training grounds. She suddenly felt the urge to go lay on the grass up in that hill she had found the other day, though for the life of her, couldn't remember how to get there. The nearly cloudless sky certainly called for such an activity.

"Rounin!"

"Eh?" Those scarlet hues blinked twice as her head tilted to the side by a large Shinigami who seemed to hold authority over her for the time being.

"Less lounging, more cleaning."

"Feh," another expression of pure exhaustion wore over her as a mop and bucket of water was placed before her. She had forgotten that it was her rotation for the day to clean the outer decks of the division. Actually; it technically wasn't her turn. She had switched her day with someone else... which happened to be the same day she had found that nice secluded grassy hill. Damn... how the hell did she get there? Left at that large, strangely shaped Sakura Tree, then a right at that opening? Or was it another left? Didn't she pass by a tree that had fallen down?

"Let's go!"

"Haiiiii~," Kyra let out a rather groan-filled reply of acceptance as she rolled herself forward to stand. Nevertheless, it was her turn to do the cleaning... but still, her mind couldn't help but attempt to map out her previous route that day.
