Character Name: Rin Kamishiro
Race: Shinigami
Position of Character: Squad 5, Unseated
Character Loyalties: Central 46 (formerly), Gotei 14 (currently)
Character Goals: Regain that which was lost; Rebuild her family name
Character Backstory / History:
Shortly after the stabbing of Xiaoyu Demizu, Rin was born. Her father a member of Central 46 and one of their chief scientists, had used a sample of blood from the stabbing of the Soitaicho and helped in creating the clone that would cause such devastation to the Soul Society. Furthermore, that same sample of DNA that was used to create the clone of the Soitaicho, was used for another purpose, as a back up to be exact. He used a sample of his ancestor's DNA, the ancestor that had been the reason the Nobunaga family was stripped of their title as one of the four great houses and replaced with their own, and used the sample of Xiaoyu's DNA to create a child.
Having been "born" before the war's start, Rin got to live in the manor with the people she called family. But things were not so heartwarming. Her father was always careful and as such, suspected that sooner or later Xiaoyu would learn of Central 46's movements. Because of that, he had his son who was fourth seat in the first division be the one to train Rin and keep an eye on Xiao's movements. Her brother was not a gentle teacher, always coming after her with the intent to kill, helping her gain a disregard for the life of the person she was facing.
When her brother believed she was ready, Rin's father sent her off to the Academy to train. She had only been there for a year when the war started. During the evacuation of the Academy, Rin's brother had been sent there to interfere as he was no longer following the orders of his Captain but the orders of the Central 46. Rin, having been taught to uphold the Central 46's orders by her father, disobeyed and fought her brother to buy time for others to escape. During this fight, her shikai was unleashed for the first time and the fight ended with her brother dead, the building on the verge of collapsing. Nearby a fight between one of the captains and one of the unbanded caught the academy in the crossfire, effectively destroying it with Rin getting caught in the destruction.
Getting caught in the destruction of the Academy led to two things happening to Rin. One being the near loss of her life and the other being the loss of her memories. Once she had been healed, she remained one of the few that helped with the transportation of the wounded and the deceased. Due to the fact she was still a weak shinigami, she was kept off the battlefield for the vast majority of the war.
At the end of the war, she was informed that she would be placed in Squad 5. Since the Academy had been destroyed, she was considered a graduate even though she hadn't even finished. Because of that, she was placed in an unseated position, tasked with helping the repairs of the Seireitei.
---BIO---
Age: 521 Appears: 20
Gender: Female
Hair Color Silver-White
Eye Color Red (right), Gold (left) (see here)
Physical Description: Standing at five foot nine is the woman known as Rin Kamishiro. Her stature is proud due to her station of birth and the way she was raised. She has long silver white hair that falls freely to her mid back. Her bangs often brushed to the side so that they do not get in the way for the most part, but there are times where she will allow her hair to hide her face.
When looking to her face, the first thing one would notice is the deep red of her right eye and that her left eye is covered by a black eyepatch with red trim. Under that eyepatch, her left eye is a striking gold in color and accompanied by a small scar from a blade. Her skin is fair in tone, making even the faintest scratch visible.
Adorning her body are just a few scars, brightly visible against her natural skin tone. On her right shoulder, the upper part of the right arm, and midway into her chest is a large scar from having been caught in the destruction of the academy. On her left side, across her ribcage is a scar from her brother's blade having grazed her there when they fought. On her back is a scar that runs from her left shoulder to her right hip, also from the slash of a blade. Choosing to hide these scars the best she can, Rin bandages them up as it gives her support as well. Although, should one watch carefully, they will notice she tends to favor her right side as it weaker.
Her garb is the standard shinigami robes, the only alteration being that it is more fitted, allowing her to move with more ease and the color of the sash around her waist is red rather than white. When not attending to her shinigami duties, Rin is often seen wearing robes of red or midnight blue.
Personality: Having been born a few years before the war's beginning, Rin was forced to train. Whether it was training in zanjutsu or learning how to act in public, it was all the same. Due to this, she speaks to others properly, even if her comments are insults they are disguised as backhanded complements. Rin is cautious of the thoughts and feelings of others even if she does not quite understand them herself. As such, she is the person who will attempt to break bad news lightly and seem puzzled when people act on their emotions.
Around most people, Rin is a thoughtful, quiet individual with a sharp tongue. However around the rare person that she trusts, she will allow her defenses to come down just a bit, her own emotions easy to read and yet foreign to her. In general though, Rin acts as though she respects everyone. The key word being 'acts'. The only people she truly respects being those who have earned it and those who she cares for.
Now when watching Rin in combat, it is essentially as if a switch had been flipped. Her usual self gone, being replaced by someone sadistic and cold. Her movements in combat are calculated as are any words she speaks. Her biggest weakness being someone slamming her in the face with her emotions.
---COMBAT---
[Note: There is a new system in place for the site using a set basic measurement of stats.
Fighting Style: Rin's style is straightforward and direct. She does not care for evasive maneuvers unless the attack being launched at her would be deemed lethal. In a sense, her style is designed to slowly sap the strength of an enemy before completely beating them down. In a fight, her personality shifts as she fights from muscle memory and instinct due to the fact she is incapable of truly remembering her training.
ALL BASE LEVELS WILL BE AS FOLLOWED
Zanjutsu [Sword Combat Skill]: 10
Hakuda [Unarmed Combat Skil]: 10
Hoho [Agility]: 5
Kido [Reiatsu Manipulation]: 10
---Shinigami Only---
Zanpakuto Name: Tsukuyomi
Zanpakuto Appearance: Unlike most zanpakuto, Rin's blade takes the form of a shortsword rather than a katana that rests on her right hip. The sheath of the blade a matte black, with silver accents however if one looks close enough then they will see the color of blood red mixed into the black, blending together like blood and water. The blade itself lies at 33 inches, slightly longer than a normal shortsword yet not as long as the shortest longsword. The hilt is wrapped in black silk, leading to a cruciform guard with a touch of filigree to it. At the base of the hilt is a gem that is such a pale blue that one would only see its color when examining it closely and appears to the normal eye as clear. The total length of the sword being 40 inches, it is designed for use as a one handed sword but capable of being wielded with two for more power.
Zanpakuto Spirit: Tsukuyomi
Spirit Appearance: Tsukuyomi is a female spirit, often seen walking on the water of the inner world, leaving ripples where she treads. Her hair is long and pale blue but dyed black within the inner world, falling to mid thigh. Her eyes a sparkling gold, shifting with the light and her emotions. Her attire a midnight blue sleeveless dress with long matching fingerless gloves, having highlights of gold and violet. Adorning her head is a veil that matches the dress.
Inner World: The inner world of Tsukuyomi is set in a hue of red. The sky a clear cloudless scarlet and the moon a bright crimson with accents of white and black for depth. The ground however appears to be an endless valley lost in a flood. Fragments of any building broken and barely seen. The water, carrying such a deep dark hue of red that it isn't certain if it is truly water or if it is the blood of those who have fallen.
Shikai Release Phrase: Enrage the Storm (Arashi o gekido sa seru : 嵐を激怒させる)
Shikai Appearance: Tsukuyomi in its shikai state is not very impressive. It takes the form of a silver bastard sword with red accents.
Shikai Abilities:
Cursed Blade: This is one of the default abilities of this sword and is passive in nature. Any and all wounds inflicted by this blade will continue to bleed as long as shikai state is active and will be unable to be healed during that time. The reason for that being that blood is a form of water and her blade is gradually drawing the water from the body out through those wounds, weakening the person afflicted.
Heart of Darkness: A passive ability triggered when her blade kills an enemy. When this blade deals the killing strike, it will absorb any malice and darkness within the victim's heart for later use.
Ocean's Tide: The second default ability of this sword, allowing each strike or swing of the blade to deal water damage. This ability also allows its wielder to manipulate water within a 50 foot radius. The water manipulation property of this ability is also usable in the sealed state.
Bankai Release Phrase: Raging Storm Wash All Away With The Tide (Subete hanarete shio to arashi no senjō o arekuruimasu : すべて離れて潮と嵐の洗浄を荒れ狂います)
Bankai Appearance:After the phrase leaves her lips along with the word Bankai, the weather in the general vicinity turns into a torrential downpour. The water around Rin enveloping her and hardening before washing away to reveal silver plated armor with red and black highlights. Her blade would remain the same however she would now gain near perfect control of the water in the atmosphere, in the ground, and water in general within a 150 foot radius.
Bankai Abilities:
Nightmare Torrent: In Bankai, Rin is capable of manipulating the water in the atmosphere to darken the sky and create a torrential downpour. This ability lasts so long as her bankai is active, the amount of rain pouring from the sky representative of how long her bankai can stay active for. As the rain begins to lessen, her bankai will slowly lose its power before fading away.
Regeneration: In simple terms, Rin's bankai is capable of regenerating any part of it that is damaged or broken by using water in the surrounding area.
Tsunami's Wrath: By draining the water from the surrounding area, Rin can use it to create a single devastating Tidal wave with a strike of her blade. This ability is destructive in nature, washing away everything in its path. The use of this technique will force her out of bankai state. (usable once per thread)
Cursed Warrior: Once per battle, Rin is able to create a lifelike clone using water. As it is created from the water, it is able to mimic the abilities of her bankai and is realistic enough that it can appear to bleed.
Darkness Wave: This ability is triggered when Rin streaks her own blood down the blade of her zanpakutou, causing it to emanate an eerie red-black aura rather than it's usual silver aura. By using all the stored malice and darkness from those who have fallen victim to this blade, she can release a wave of reiatsu and pure darkness similar to Getsuga Tensho in a single strike.
Black Beast: Similar to Darkness Wave, this ability is triggered in the same fashion however it simply makes her blade strike with darkness instead of water. While this ability is active, this blade can deal damage to a shadow in order to deal damage to the owner of the shadow (unable to kill someone like that). Furthermore, it gradually absorbs the darkness in the surrounding area to make itself stronger, including the darkness in a person and darkness in reiatsu.

The declaration of war rang through the air and in that moment, time stood still as buildings began to crumble. Not even the Academy was safe from the winds of war as holes were blasted through the roof by five shinigami led by him. Looking up at the intruders, Rin had decided here and now that this was the final straw. Silently forsaking her name, Rin called out to the others to run.
And run they did. Panic ensued. Only those who were capable of fighting stayed while the others attempted to evacuate. While the teachers were busy with the four causing the most damage, the leader stopped before Rin. "You don't need to die here Sister. We have bigger plans for you." She had known full well what those plans were. She had known from the day she was born and yet it was now, in this moment that she chose to fight the tides of fate. Drawing her sword, she pointed it at her brother...no he was no longer her brother. He was the enemy. "I follow no one's orders. Not even Father's." This was her own declaration of war. She was to be no one's weapon unless it was her own.
The clash of metal rang with each strike the siblings launched at each other. Knowing each others strengths and weaknesses as he had been the one to train her. With the teachers beginning to fall around them, Rin asked her zanpakuto to lend her its strength. Once again caught in a dance of blades with her brother, Rin nearly fell when he used shikai, its lightning power too great for her to combat alone.
Seeming as if all was lost as the walls around them began to collapse. One of the fights outside starting to spill into the vicinity. Captain Zaraki. His power was so great that just him unleashing his reiatsu crumbled the stone. With the ever weakening building surrounding Rin and her brother, she vowed to be the one to take him out even if it killed her. In her heart, she could hear her zanpakutou's instructions and so the last attack began. Her brother charged at her with his lightning coated blade as she rested a hand on her bleeding side. In a split moment, she moved, streaking her blood down the blade and swinging it at her brother to unleash a blow even he could not evade. Unfortunately, she did not stay conscious long enough to see if she had killed her brother. With her strike, the wall closest to the both of them lost what stability it had left and came crashing down. Her vision slowly fading to black as her mind wondered if this was the end.
