| Face Claim: Hakuoki | Saitou Hajime|| Physical Description ||As a former member of the Hachibantai, Shishin has always carried a rather varied skill set when it comes to combat, meaning his strength and speed were not always up to par with shinigami of other divisions. It has always been viewed as one of the more administrative divisions, purely because of their Captain Ise Nanao, who is very much non-combat based. This is seen quite a bit in Shishin's choices in clothing, as he wears garments that inspire fear in order to discourage fighting, rather than risking his Inner Hollow taking him over. He has a large interest in keeping himself incredibly fit and fast, to keep one step ahead of his Inner Hollow, again to prevent an unwanted takeover. Of course, due to these factors, he finds it very hard to blend into crowds and thus tries to avoid large groups of people, instead seeking solace in the shadows. As for his voice, it is rough with a very prominent sorrow in it, with a weathered manner of speaking.
His features are shallow and dark, harrowed by the hatred he has subjected on himself. Where once a handsome young man, ready to face the world stood, there is now an empty shell, with dead eyes colored dark blue. As a tribute to his lost love, he has kept his hair looking the exact same as she liked it, in a long ponytail, with strands extending over his face. But in a way, this makes him look even more frightening, with a shadow casting over his eyes. His body, having been fighting for his whole life, is rather muscular but his skin is pale and rough, with a plethora of scars netted over his back and torso.
His clothing is meant to be rather inconspicuous but in that regard it seems to fail rather badly. Someone walking around with a long black trench coat sort of stands out, mm? In any case, he wears a white shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, the casual businessman look, accompanied by a dusty violet-colored waistcoat with brass coin-like buttons and a pair of velvet black gloves. On occasion he also has a white neckerchief, tucked into his collar, which sticks out under his throat.
Over this, Shishin wears a rather thick black trenchcoat, made of a material that is rough yet comfortable, built to last, rather than to look stylish. It has black plastic buttons, which are rather wide and a large collar which can be turned up around the face and neck or left down to allow visibility. More often than not, he keeps the collar down, however if he's forced to use his Hollow mask, he will sometimes put the collar up, due to the Hollow's egotistical and over-confident nature.
On his lower body, you'd expect with the amount of expensive clothing so far, that he'd wear some form of dress trousers. In fact, he doesn't, wearing a pair of rather casual black trousers that, while they are not dress trousers, look as if they might have once been. The hems near the bottom are frayed and ripped, a side effect of Shishin's combat experience. As for his feet, he has a pair of rather sturdy black loafers, with a rather tough sole.Personality|| Personality Overview ||Shishin's personality was once very enthusiastic and bright, with a very optimistic outlook on life. He had everything going for him, coming from a prosperous family, having a beautiful wife that loved him, a child on the way and a certain power that many in the Gotei 13 had never seen before. The ability to lead mean into battle. He wasn't Captain material yet though, he didn't have the power for that, a failing he acknowledged with a disappointed sigh. But the power he did have was not to be scoffed at.
Now, before I continue, I want you to think about what that word means, 'power'. What's your definition of the word? Political standing? Morale righteousness? Brute strength? Well, Shishin believed that power was the ability to work and provide for his family. A noble view. However, it was only several years later, that he renounced that view and succumbed to what true power is. Let me explain.
You see, Shishin, while he had his Zanpaktou Izanagi, was never truly satisfied with what he had, despite having everything in the world that he wanted. He would never admit it to anyone, least of all himself. But there was always a craving for adventure and danger, thrill-seeking. He wanted to enjoy the world to it's fullest rather than be tied down to a single entity. What he got however... was something no one should have to experience.
To realize that the world can only move through sacrifice, that every little thing in the world it made to be stepped on, to move to a higher plane of existence. To come to that realization was unbearable for him and it drove him over the edge. To live through that understanding and renounce all that you love in order to slow that process for everyone else. The ultimate sacrifice. THAT is true power. Living alone with only your fear to keep you company and the memories of what once was to keep you sane. But this is also a burden, one which Shishin has to live with every single day.|| History ||Frankly Shishin's early life was... well not normal, far from it but also relatively uneventful. Born the second son of a rather wealthy family of business owners, his father the chairman of a rather wide-scale pickled umeboshi production company, selling high-quality umeboshi to the numerous vendors in south Rukongai. His mother, a former Shinigami and now the successful owner of a florist chain, raised the boy to continue her legacy and become a Shinigami and Shishin, ever the momma's boy, complied.
At the age of 18, Shishin joined the Shinigami Academy, a strapping young lad with a head full of ambitions and capacity to learn, ready to take his sword to the hollow menace. Within his first few years he excelled,Zanpakutō
Zanpakuto Name: Izanagi | 伊邪那岐 | Male-who-Invites
Ability Type: Kido-type | Sub-form: Explosive
Release Phrase: "Maira seru no oteage, Izanagi!" | "Fall to your knees and give up hope, Izanagi!"
Sealed Description:
- Length: 4'11"
Izanagi's sealed form is very much unique in it's length, with it extending almost 5ft (Blade and hilt) and yet being so light and versatile to use, it is a very potent blade, even in it's weaker state. The blade itself is thinner than most ōdachi blade's, mostly to accommodate it's length and to reduce weight, while still maintaining immense piercing power. The tsuba is rectangular and colored a deep bronze, with two cut-out rectangles at either end of the tsuba. The sheath is colored a deep violet, the same color as the tightly bound hilt wrappings and the bronze-colored pommel.
Inner World:
Desolate... Shishin's Inner World has changed so much with his emotions, once a thralling city of many inhabitants, of which he was the king. Now it has fallen into ruin and there is no kingdom anymore, only the king now stands in the dust, the one who has caused all of his suffering beside him, unable to let go. Every stone of this wasteland holds a memory to him, most of which he doesn't want to relive and as a result, Shishin detests coming here... it's like a graveyard of all his hopes and dreams.

Functionality:

Shikai Abilities:
Name: Kekkai | 決潰 | Rupture
Class: Offensive
Range: Melee
Description: The name given to Izanagi's explosive outburst when it comes into contact with another surface, the blade itself shimmers a bright blue as the reiatsu gathers. When Izanagi strikes another object, it explodes violently, as if struck by a level 40 Kido. While some of the backlash does come back at the user, the explosion is mostly directed towards the object struck. The cost of this technique is rather significant however, as it requires reiatsu to gather on the surface of the blade and also to sustain it for any length of time without a constant stream. As such, the shimmer will only last for around 2 minutes before it fades and the equivalent of a level 50 Kido's worth of reiatsu is wasted.
Mask Description:
Shishin's mask is rather unique in both it's shape and influence on his body. As you can see, unlike many of the previously seen hollow masks, Shishin's in fact wraps around the top of the head, making it irremovable when activated except by breaking or releasing it. Instead, Shishin can fold up the three bottom plates into the top plate, freeing his mouth in order to speak freely.
However, his hollow powers have not only manifested in the shape of a mask, but also as rather sharp claws on each finger, capable of rending flesh with a single swing. This is also where his Cero and Bala are usually formed, on the index fingers while he has his mask on.
The mask comes with the usual benefits like incredibly enhanced speed, strength and reiatsu, however Shishin's powers tend to focus more on the aspect of strength and the other two areas are left lacking in comparison to other masks as a result.
Mask Abilities:
Name: Cero (Hollow Flash)
Class: Offensive
Range: Long
Description: A heavy, wide energy blast emitted from the hand, mouth, or some other body part. Cero are highly destructive and can vary greatly from user to user, able to be fired in a thin column or a wide cone-shaped emanation as appropriate to the situation, and specialists in Cero have been known to change their color. The damaging aspects of a Cero are partly heat and burning energy (not fire) and partly physical concussive force.
Name: Bala (Hollow Bullet)
Class: Offensive
Range: Medium
Description: Similar in appearance and execution to a Cero, Bala are compressed waves of Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) that strike with blunt force similar to that of a physical attack. Bala has been observed as being noticeably faster than Cero, but it’s lack of girth and explosive capacity limits its effectiveness as a weapon.

Reiryoku/Reiatsu Abilities:
Name: Shunpo (Flash Step)
Class: Utility
Range: Personal
Description: The shinigami’s signature movement technique, using extreme speed and acceleration to overcome the eye’s capacity to trace movement. This ability can be used to travel quickly from one place to another, or in combat by a skilled practitioner to get a jump on the enemy. Using this skill repeatedly over the course of a battle is ill-advised, as it does not take long for the opponent’s eyes to adjust to the high-speed movement.
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.
