Name: Rynn Kinfuji
Gender: Male
Age: Appearance: 23 Actual Age: 650
Personality: Rynn is an intelligent man who uses his mind more often than his fists. But when he has to he will use his fists instead of words. Rynn has been known to be easily provoked into a fight due to his pretty boy appearance. People have called him gay due to that and the fact he hasnt had much interaction with the opposite sex. This single point has caused him a ton of headaches and has caused him to explode at the person on quite a number of occasions. Rynn has had nothing but bad luck with women in the past hence why he doesnt 'flirt' with women.
He is an extremely quick thinking person which helps him out in combat. Whilst in combat time seems to slow down to him as he uses shunpo so much that he is always moving at a high rate of speed. Rynn does tend to think out every action he does. Trying to stay several steps ahead of his opponent. He will always try to outhink his opponent no matter who it is.
He has a rather carefree and fun attitude toward most people. He tends to drink quite alot which has lead him to many bad situations in the past. He is a borderline alcoholic the only thing that is keeping him completely from falling to being a full blown alcoholic is the chance he may find himself a woman someday. He loves to play thinking mans games like chess and shogi to keep his mind sharp even while drinking.
Appearance: Rynn's hair is usually combed out at shoulder length. He has a scraggly goatee which he maintains to a minimum. Rynn also has a athletic build to him. He also has quite a few scars scattered across his arms and backs. The ones across his arms are mostly burns from his own zanpaktou. The scars across his lower back have come from a hollow attack from when he was young shinigami.
Now that he is inside of his gigai all the time I shall explain how he looks in this form. His gigai was the same hairstyle and same eye color as Rynn does normally. His gigai wears a dark red t-shirt, black jeans, black basketball sneakers, and a black leather jacket. Unlike his normal spirit form while in gigai he has a full beard which is kept neatly trimmed.
Background/History: Rynn was born during the turbulent times of the late 14th century in side of rural Japan. His father and mother where simple folk. They had made enough money to own a small resteraunt inside of Southern Kyoto. His childhood was full of the usual mischief that children get into. One of his adventures ran him into the son of one of the more wealthy families in town. The two became fast friends.
They spent their time avoiding the other boys personal guards and having mock sword fights outside of town using sturdy sticks they had found. Day after day they sparred slowly growing in strength. One day a strange older gentlemen was sitting there watching the two of them spar. Little did they know but the old man was a retired samurai. The samurai talked to both Rynn's and the other boys parents and offered to train them on how to become samurai.
Rynn's family happily agreed to the training but Rynn's friends family declined as they where wealthy and didnt need there son training and possible dieing when the next war rolled through the area. So at the tender age of 12 Rynn started training outside of the city within a secluded dojo. His new master spent days after days breaking Rynn down berating him and making him do all sorts of menial labor. After a year of doing nothing but menial labor did the old man start teaching him everything he knew about swordplay.
At the age of 18 Rynn returned home having learned all he could before the old man died. Strangely Rynn had sworn he had seen men in black kimono appear and take his teachers soul away from his body. But fearing that these people where agents of the nearby kingdom he didnt stand up and confront them. Upon his return home he left again seeking out a army to sign up within. It didnt take him very long as his own Shogun was looking for able bodied men to join his ranks. Rynn joined the Shogun's army and was thrust into combat right away. It was only inside of his second battle when he saw the white masked monsters watching the battlefield. He would then see them after the battle scouring the battlefield over the corpses of the fallen soldiers.
Slowly his own skills and reputation grew. Eventually he began leading a special squad of silent samurai. It was during one of these missions Rynn was wounded and he dragged himself away from the location of the battle. He gazed into the sky as he felt himself slowly dieing. In the sky above him he heard the screech of a bird as he looked up the last of his life left him and the final sight he saw as a human was of a majestic hawk flying over him
The 60th district of the Rukongai. Not quite the most lawless area of the Rukongai but there was still quite a bit of crime around. Rynn tried his best and managed to find himself a niche within this district and survived for around a century as he slowly felt his own hunger increasing with each passing day. Eventually he was discovered by a shinigami. This shinigami informed him that he had reiatsu which was the reason for his hunger and that Rynn should enroll within the Shinigami Academy.
During his time at the academy he specialized in Hakudo and swordsmanship. He would spend long hours training himself hoping to someday reach the prowess of some of the more powerful shinigami. After he spent the time and graduated from the Academy he was placed within the second division which made him happy as that was the division he had always wanted to join.
About 50 years after graduating the academy he was on a mission when he was beset upon by a strong hollow. The hollow had killed off the rest of his patrol squad. Rynn felt a sudden heat emerge from the blade he had hanging on his waist. Suddenly within his own mind he heard the name clear as day 'Koudoutai... Call my name and we will escape this intact.' Rynn screamed the name he had heard from his own mind and he was surrounded with a large flame which burned the hollow. When he emerged from within the flame he had his now signature tonfa shikai. Which he used to break the mask of the hollow and then he torched the hollows body. Since that day he has trained on mastering his new shikai.
About 100 years after the events listed above Rynn was out working a mission for the third division which he had transfered into several decades earlier. He was ambushed by several adjuchas while he was out on patrol. This was one of the toughest battles of Rynn's existence. He used his shikai powers over and over again slowly draining himself until he was almost exhausted. The adjuchas stood over him laughing as he saw several figures come out of nowhere. The figures had masks across there faces which made them look like hollows and yet they where using zanpaktou's. The last thing that Rynn remembered hearing before passing out was someone saying "what shall we do with the shinigami?" "Bring him along... Perhaps he can survive the transformation and join us?"
Several days later Rynn awoke chained down inside of a dark room. His zanpaktou was over on a side table just out of his reach. He felt an anger dwelling within him as he thried to collect his thoughts as to what could be happening. After what seemed hours he felt a disturbing feeling from within himself. He entered the volcanic world that was his inner world to talk with his zanpaktou. When he entered he saw a being standing there as if awaiting him. The being looked like a reversed perverse version of himself. Without warning the other half attacked him. Rynn fought him with all his vigor he could muster. It was during this fight he had his bankai revealed to him by his other half. It shocked him to see this other side already had it and Rynn didnt which infuriated him. It was that anger and that inner fire which caused him to use his bankai for the first time inside of his own mind. After about fourty minutes he managed to defeat the inverted 'evil twin'.
When he awoke he was greeted by a man standing with the shackles in his hand and a mask in his hand. The man told him "Welcome to the family our newest recruit." From that day on Rynn spent time training slowly gaining the control over his bankai and of his inner hollow. The inner hollow took Rynn so much longer than his bankai to master. The hollow constantly poked and proded at him goading him to try and fight him once again. One day Rynn had had enough and he went into his inner world and fought and soundly defeated the hollow. It was that point on that his hollow bowed to him allowing Rynn access almost unlimited access to his power.
Zanpakutô Spirit: Rynn's zanpaktou spirit is named Koudoutai. Kou is a phoenix bird of ancient mythology. Its home within Rynn's inner world is constantly destroyed by the volcanic activity. The destruction always burns Koudoutai to death just so that Kou can return as his flashy flaming phoenix the next time Rynn sees him.
Koudoutai's personality is a lot like his masters. He tends to speak calmly but unlike Rynn he is blunt and to the point. There are moments where Kou will sit with Rynn and will help the young man by helping through all of the problems he is having at that time. Then there are moments where Koudoutai uses its fiery apperance to show Rynn what it means to be like fire, hot and untamed.
Sealed Zanpakutô : His sealed zanpaktou is a short katana better known as a a kodachi. A bladed sword that is somewhere between a regular katana and a wakizashi in length. The blade is all black with a bright red stripe running down the back of it. The handguard is shaped like a flickering flame. It is silver in color and has two red jewels imbedded within it. The grip is simple as it is wrapped with a dark cherry red cloth. The pommel of the sword is the same metal as the handguard and has a small loop on it where Rynn can attach a small line he carries which connects to his uniform allowing him to carry his sword without manually holding it. One interesting thing is that his zanpaktou emits a strong heat from it unless it is girded to Rynn's waist or he has it on his person.
Shikai Description: His release is rather unique. It consumes both his sealed zanpaktou and the sheath of his weapon. They both dissolve into the air and then reappear within grasp of Rynn's hands to allow him to grasp his now shikaid weapon. It takes the form of twin bladed tonfa.
The tonfa grips are wrapped in a dark red cloth. There is a metal guard that goes from the inner edge of the grip around to connect with the forward-most point of his tonfa blade. Instead of the traditional wood that most tonfa use for its structure these are all metal. The outer edge that runs down his arms is curved so that it extends behind his elbow. Off of the tip and along the sharpened side of the tonfa a heat can be felt emanating from within it. Occasionally flame would shoot out from it.
While in shikai Rynn can compress the flame that his zanpaktou creates and he combines it with reiatsu to create crescent shaped blades of flame. Each blade can be shot in a straight line from Rynn so they are easily avoided. The blades can also be dispelled by a strong enough wave of reiatsu hitting it or a significant amount of water is used to douse the flame. If hit the blade doesnt cut instead it leaves a second degree burn across the person right where it hit.
Another shikai technique of Rynn's. He spouts flames from both of his zanpaktou's and propels himself as fast as he can toward his opponent with his fists aimed at the opponent. As he drives toward his opponent he spins creating a type of fire missle with himself at its core. As Rynn cannot see outside this technique its rather easy to avoid by side stepping the attack. The attack can fail if hit hard enough just like his previous technique.
Release: Hinote ~ Koudoutai {Blaze ~ Zodiac}
Bankai: Rynn's shikai vanishes burying itself into Rynn's arms as an intense fire surrounds him. The fire looks like it is scorching his whole body but it is actually girding him inside of his bankai. His arms and hands are now covered in long metallic gauntlets which are covered in gold metal with red feathers sticking out a few inches from the hinges around his elbow. His body is now covered in a red suit similar to the suit used by the second division assassins. Lastly his feet are covered in metal boots which slowly give off fire and heat.
The new ability he gains is a phoenix styled attack. He rises off the ground surrounded by the flames. He then uses his reiatsu to compress the flames around himself until they explode from the compression. He can only use this ability once as it drains his reiatsu almost completely.
Vizard powers: Cero: A attack of condenscened reiatsu which is red in color. Used by most hollows, arrancar, and vizards.
Bala: An attack that is similar to a cero except this attack can be fired rapidly. Deals much less damage than a cero. Useable by arrancar and the vizards.

Roleplay Sample: "Well your finally released... Time for this to begin I guess eh?" Where the words Rynn said as he watched Aihara release his zanpaktou. He watched the blade transform into its released state. It was a rather impressive jian styled sword. Rynn would have to watch out for the blade now as it gave him a slight range advantage, but Rynn's speed should negate that.
Then Daisetsu used what had to be an ability of his shikai as the sky itself seemed to split and thousands of small beams of energy went after Rynn. Rynn knew he could try and dodge these but that would leave him open for attack from elsewhere. He thought to himself :: Ok what would the best plan be... Running away trying to drive these beams into inanimate objects and one another would leave me exhausted momentarily and would allow Aihara an open attack. I could charge Aihara through this cloud and strike him. Or I could try to have this attack impact Aihara instead of me... But which plan should I choose. Soifon what would you do in this spot... ::
The thoughts raced through his mind as he knew the assault was coming. He knew that the battle should end soon for both mens sake as both would fight to the death if given the opprotunity. Rynn closed his eyes and made up his mind what he was going to do. He focused his reiatsu in his feet and got ready to attack. He spoke softly before he moved for the attack "I cannot fail. My resolve will burn bright and I will never falter. A warrior shall never shrink from combat when the end goal is to defend the one they love."
The attack was almost upon him and he turned to face it. He wouldnt dodge and wouldnt falter. His mind made up he released the reiatsu that he had stored within his feet. It shot him directly into the middle of the swarm of Daisetsu's attack. He felt the reiatsu hailstones collide with him. They didnt burrow through his skin except the bruised and pock marked his skin heavily leaving Rynn with most certainly internal injuries but those could be treated later. Rynn emerged from the other side of the Daisetsu's attack and was within a foot of Daisetsu.
This would be Rynn's opprotunity to hit Daisetsu hard. Rynn focused his flame and his reiatsu into his fists which he then swung at Daisetsu. The fists where meer inches away from Daisetsu's chest. Rynn hoped that thanks to his surprise move of going through Daisetsu's attack that this would give him a free attack. He then said as the fists where about to connect "Phoenix Strike."
