Identification
Character Name: Emberlyn Azayaka
Classification: Shinigami
Alias/Titles: Ember
Gender: Female
True Age: 26
Birthday: June 2
Division: Shinigami Academy
Rank: -
Appearance Information
Apparent Age: 16
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 118 lbs.
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Red
Physical Description:
Emberlyn certainly doesn't have an image of strength. She is slim - perfectly toned, but not muscular, and is reasonably busty. Her small body paired with an average height leaves her looking a little weak - something that she can't stand.
Her hair is a deep, vibrant red, and is long enough to reach the small of her back. Normally she leaves it loose, but when she gets serious in something, she always ties it back. Emberlyn's eyes are quite large, almond shaped, and a very vivid green. Her glare is something to be feared.
Clothes wise, Emberlyn sticks to the traditional Shinigami Acadmey outfit, which she is very proud to wear. She plans to stay traditional even once she has found herself a Division to join. The only custom features of her Shihakushó are a golden ring and a bandage on her right wrist - which she wears for no other reason than that she thinks it looks cool.
Her Zanpakuto is worn across her back due to it's size. Her sword belt goes over her left shoulder down to her right hip, and is black. It has intricate patterns in blue and gold all over it - carved and then painted by Emberlyn herself.
Personal Information
Personality Overview:
Emberlyn is not the kind of girl you can pick on. Though she is personable and funny most of the time, she has a very fiery side which is... not so hard to bring out. Besides her easily triggered temper, Emberlyn is a friendly and likeable person. She likes banter, and can always take a joke - and deal them out as well. She's very outgoing, and will never hesitate to start a conversation, or to be intimidated.
Emberlyn is loud, rowdy and highly competitive. She hates being underestimated, and won't hesitate to challenge whoever commits said crime, whether it be a friend or a Captain. She is highly protective, and she'll fight with everything she has before letting someone get hurt in front of her. She is a begrudging person, and won't easily forgive someone who hurt her or her friends - and it won't be a quiet grudge, either. Although, she loves to see people change their ways, and if she truly believes that they are sorry for the pain they've caused, Emberlyn will regard them as a friend. She finds it hard to give up on things. In a fight, she won't back down - even if it's almost certain that she can't win. She has a lot of pride, and will continue to taunt her opponent even if she's half-beaten on the floor. Though this trait of hers can cause trouble for herself and the people around her, her friends can recognize that backing out of a fight would be worse for her than dying in the fight.
Emberlyn has a very strong exterior, and her sadness normally doesn't surface around other people. Although, in certain situations, they will spill over in massive portions. However, having a strong exterior doesn't mean that she's cold or unfriendly - she's quite the opposite.
Character Time-line:
Up until age 9, Emberlyn lived happily with her parents - as a human. Then, her parents were killed in a car crash. Emberlyn, unable to cope living with her aunt and uncle, ran away and began to live by herself on the streets. She survived by stealing, and often had to fight her way out of things. Emberlyn had soon met several other kids, in similar situations to hers. She became friendly with them, including Hade, who remained her best friend and dearest possession for a long time. Eventually, Emberlyn moved on to become their gang leader. By the time she was 13, she'd become strong and her gang was well known around the city. Their notoriety caused them a lot of trouble with other gangs, but through her strength and desire to protect, Emberlyn kept herself and her gang safe. As time passed, Emberlyn realized that she couldn't stay on the streets forever. Taking her friends with her, she began to turn her life around, attending school, getting a job, and finding a small flat to live in. Her life was looking good again.
She was 16 when a gang she'd had problems with in the past came back to find her. They cornered her and Hade in an alley, seriously outnumbering them. During their fight, Emberlyn had noticed one of the gang member's advance upon Hade with a knife, and without hesitation, had flung herself in front of the blade. The gang had then run away, leaving Emberlyn to bleed to death in Hade's arms.
After appearing in Soul Society, Emberlyn left the Rukongai and lived alone in the surrounding hills, since she had no desire to find a new family. She just wanted to become strong. After eight years of solitary living and training, Emberlyn returned to Rukongai. There, she learned about the Shinigami, and vowed to become one. She has now come to the end of her time in the Academy, graduating in only two years due to all her prior training and great ability. Now, she is looking for a division to join.
Zanpakuto Information
Zanpakuto Name:Eidatsu Asashio
(Eidatsu - Rising above one's fellows. Asashio - Morning tide.)
Ability Type: Water
Release Phrase: Flow, Eidatsu Asashio!
Sealed Description:
- Length: 156cm, Hilt 32cm/Blade 124cm
Emberlyn's Zanpakuto is an Ódachi. It is used with two hands for a powerful swing, and has great cutting power and range, due to it's length and weight. It's hilt is navy blue with golden triangles, and the sheath is also gold, and shimmers ethereally in sunlight. The long blade has a carving beside the hilt which says 'Eidatsu Asashio'.
Inner World:
Emberlyn's inner world is mainly water. It takes the image of a large, azure lake. Any land in the world - and there isn't much - is covered in long, deep green grass which is constantly waving as though a breeze is on it. This is so that it flows, and fits in with it's watery surroundings. Most of the time, Emberlyn's inner world is peaceful, warm and sunny. It is a happy place, and the water is calm and beautiful. However, when Emberlyn is angry or sad, the world turns dangerous. When angry, storms arise and the lake water crashes around with enough power to completely destroy the banks. When upset, dark clouds cover the sky, and depending on the magnitude of the sadness, give light showers or completely pour with rain. During these times, water levels get dangerously high, sometimes filling the whole world.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
Eidatsu Asashio is much more calm and gentle than his owner. Although he contrasts Emberlyn in this way, he has the same values, and always wishes to protect everything that she wants to protect. He has a similar determination to Emberlyn, too. He hates giving up on things - although, with his more rational head, he would give up on many of the fights that Emberlyn persists in. However, since he is not the decision maker, he would back her up in any fight she may find herself in. He cares about Emberlyn deeply, and will willingly give all his power to help her when she is being hurt, or to help her get stronger.
Asashio (as Emberlyn calls him), is tall and elegant. His hair is a light, powdery blue, about jaw-length and is floppy, yet thick. He is constantly pushing it out of his eyes and flicking it around. He complains about it, although he'd never change it. His eyes are the same powder blue, accompanied by golden flecks. The gold in his eyes shimmers beautifully, making his gaze warm and inviting. His slightly frail appearance and gentle nature doesn't reflect in his personality - Asashio is actually quite loud and outgoing - much like Emberlyn.
Shikai Description:
(Not yet achieved!)
Eidatsu Asashio becomes a double-ended trident during Shikai. He also grows, becoming about a foot taller than Emberlyn. The head's of the trident take up about 2 ft of the weapon each. As a trident, Asashio is a pure, shimmering gold all over. The hand-hold, in the centre of the two forks, is navy blue ribbon wrapped tightly around the pole.
Functionality:
Eidatsu Asashio's range has become much more limited in Shikai, since there is no flexibility on the way the trident can be held (2 handed, in the middle of the two forks) but the brute force of the attacks is heightened drastically. Head-on attacks put Emberlyn at a disadvantage, since Asashio is hard to maneuver quickly so that the trident head can fight back, but the pole is thick and strong, and brilliant for defense. Asashio tells Emberlyn that the ribbon could be undone in order to allow her to swing the trident around on it - but when attempting this, she hit herself in the leg and broke it. Unsurprisingly, she hasn't wanted to try again.
Abilities:
Name: Uootaa Kenshin (Water Blade)
Type: Offensive
Range: Can be used for short or long range. Maximum range 100 ft.
Description: Uootaa Kenshin is, as the name suggests, water that forms a blade to attack with. It is about 10 ft wide, and forms a axe-edge curve of water which is fired at the victim. Though it moves quickly and hits heavily, it's edge takes a LOT of concentrated Reiatsu to keep sharp, so Emberlyn normally doesn't use it as a technique to cut, but to force someone back. However, lesser opponents could be severely damaged by the impact's force alone.
Combat Information
Reiryoku Level: 5
Character Dynamic: Emberlyn's power lies mainly in strength and stamina. Her kido is lacking, and when she does attempt it, the outcome can be a little weak or erratic. Her Zanjutsu and Hakuda are perfected, since she spent much time training her body and sword skills before she even entered the Shinigami Academy. Her agility, or Houhou, is good, though her generally speed is dragged down slightly by her large weapons.
Fighting Style:
Emberlyn's fighting style is all based around strength and brute force. Her speed is average and she can't allow a more agile opponent room to take advantage of this, so she is always going for the offensive, keeping opponents stuck defending. Her style is not planned or thought out, just a constant rain of high-damage attacks.
Reiryoku/Reiatsu Abilities:
Name: Konso (Soul Burial)
Class: Utility
Range: Touch
Description: Shinigami use this skill to transport Plus spirits, forcefully or otherwise, to Soul Society. This is a derivative of the zanpakuto’s natural ability to purify hollows by splitting their masks.

Significant Inventory:
The golden ring she always wears, which she found in the Human World. She cannot read the engravings on it, but she presumes they're something exotic and powerful. Little does she know, the ring is in Elvish, and reads 'One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.' At least she got it right that it's a ring of power...
