[Word from me, I'm sorry for the length of this Application, I have a knack to be... well Detailed in my writings ; I hope this will not be an issue. Also I hope it's okay for a former captain to be a Vizard, if not I can change the information.]
[/center]My name is...
Name: Lynea Nihla
Gender:
Age: 1340
Personality:
Lynea Nihla's personality can range depending on situation, circumstances and atmosphere. Generally she's a kind soul, whom offers warmth and comfort at any possible opportunity. In most cases as Taicho, Lynea tends to keep her mind clear and for the most part open to any situation that may arise. However stressful the line of a captain can be Lynea has a few tricks to keep herself calm in stress inducing situations, one of those tactics being reformulating medical terms from Costrocondritis as well as Sternocleidomastoid tears to the theory of reiatsu development in newly born plus'. Those generally cause her means of thinking to be placed back into a manageable level allowing herself to think a bit easier on the actual situation at hand.
Lynea does have certain personality traits that allows her to clash with other individuals. Lynea is a person who cannot stand lies, lying in her mind is beside from the fact of being deceitful also shows that the individual whom lied has no trust in Lynea which leads her to believe she is failing as a captain. Another personality trait Lynea tends to clash with is the egotistical persona. Placing on a show that is larger then they really are tends to have lower acceptance rate with Lynea. Finally the last personality quirk that tends to annoy Lynea would have to be the "Macho" type. Generally from which she has experienced the type that base themselves solely on strength often fail in intellectual debate often commenting on how amazing their battles are, sadly Lynea often feels these traits are often the leading cause of her short temper.
When Lynea enters her spurts of having such a short temper she often hesitates to act rethinking the situation and the reaction that may occur. She also tends to be snippy to everyone who speaks with her, giving short answers and allowing little guessing space. Another quirk that she exhibits is how she insists on fidgeting with anything nearby, generally this breaks down to her captains overcoat, or in most recent years her trinket. However explosive her attitude may be generally her mood doesn't last too long generally lasting to the upwards of three to four hours in total. That goes with saying on her other moods being short lived in the best circumstances yet things can change depending on the cause and reaction.
Around the other captains Lynea tended to show a motherly figure side. Expressing the best means of any situation is to resolve things peacefully then to fight it out through brute strength. Generally unlikely to be responsive to orders to engage on battle she will proceed with orders as long as the moral value is within place to be reasonable. Amongst the former years of her previous Division, Lynea often instructed on how keeping your morals is higher above then duty on things to hold dear to yourself stating, "If you cannot follow duty because it strikes your moral values, there is no need to continue in such acts." However most of the time she teaches that without duty morals can become obscured placing the decision on what is right and what is wrong onto the shinigami from which she commands.
Appearance:
Soul Appearance:
Lynea Nihla, a former captain, a rebel, a friend and mentor stands at 5'5, weighing a grand total of 94 pounds in total. She's stout for most respects, but don't let her size fool you. As wide as her attire may be, her knowledge is granted further then what one would first estimate. The first things that someone would first catch eye of is how Lynea adorns herself within her Division, wearing her captains coat only to formal events and situations Lynea often tries to keep the adornment of her rank separate from her duties as a captain stating an image should not motivate the individual but their sense of moral. Secondly how she keeps her hair differs from her actual place of residency and station to captain formal events. While working in her division, either it be paperwork to tending to the wounded; Lynea keeps her hair in a bun allowing two bangs to fall next to her face.
During her years of a Captain, during regal events such as meetings and other means in which she is forced to appear 'formal' she lets her hair naturally flow which usually stops about the lower end of her back, as well as the length her bangs seemingly find their way in covering half her face no matter how she adjusts it.
Second in her appearance of her former rank and rather obscene attire which was stressed in the first paragraph. Lynea only wears her uniform when duty calls if not she is often seen wearing the "White Skin" as she would like to call it. 'White Skin' is nothing more then a lower layer of garments which envelops the entire body. Lynea wears the white skin with enough room to hide her chin in around the collar she also keeps the hands of the suit removed to reduce stressful issues with gripping things. The reason behind the white skin and why Lynea wears it is based around the medicinal scientific research her division as well as the science division is basing their time off of. White skin is a new experiment which decreases the damage received by Kidou [Generally a 1-40 Destructive Kidou will be lessened exponentially] as well as increase the healing potential received by reiatsu as well as other means. However if the suit takes a full on blast by say a Black Coffin Kidou the suit will break and start to tear causing rips and other means of deformity. Lynea insisted on using the skin stating on how nobody except those who invent things should be the test subjects, forcing others to receive ill programs generally cause mishaps thus is why Lynea wears the skin.
In addition to the "White Skin," Lynea owns a small trinket which is latched to her right wrist at all times. Bringing herself back to the day in which she came into possession of the trinket was probably one of the worst days that Lynea could have possibly had to date. The day was when Lynea was nothing but a new soul among the age of the Rukongai. It all started when she started volunteering at a local clinic in which she worked days on end helping those in need. When Lynea was about to leave for the day at the clinic her friends came bustling into the building yelling for help. Startled, Lynea jumped to see what happened when getting closer she noticed the youngest of the group of friends in which she socially enjoys herself was bleeding from the abdomen. Immediately without thinking Lynea rushed him into a backroom trying to call in a doctor yet her cries were unresponsive. Forcing her to act Lynea tried her best to suture the wound leaving many gashes open. Weither it had been through her ill-prepared nature or the Doctors being unresponsive in her calls for help Lynea fought well through the night trying to save her friends' life. Yet with all her attempts in the end failed, however before the passing the friend gave Lynea a small triangular trinket as if thanking her for all her efforts. Since then, Lynea has yet to remove the trinket from her person, leaving it on at all times allowing nobody to even make attempts so far as to reach for it.
Furthermore, Lynea tends to tell her closest friends in which she holds closer now then ever that a sense of appearance only helps oneself if it allows the person to think of matters outside of hairstyle, clothing attire, and posture. Lynea is a prime example of which she instructed her morality about. Allowing herself to be a prime candidate helps the other members of her close knit friends feel a bit more at ease she believes however as wide as her clothing can be her attitude about life over death stays the same.
Gigai Appearance:
The gigai of Lynea is contrasted by how her appearance is set in the Soul's appearance. Generally enjoying whiter colors to fit on her skin giving her pale skin some canvas to shine. However while roaming the 'human' domain her mortal coil adorns itself in contrasting garments of how the modern curve of fashion was. With how things are her newly acquired garments are a tightened black sweatshirt which literally engulfs Lynea's small figure leaving little space for comfort.
Second in the list of mirrored appearance is her hairstyle which ironically is put into twin ponytails, almost mimicking those in soul society with the hairstyle yet somehow its popular among the human race. In addition to her hairstyle her eye color changes from from a copper like tint to a blueish gray to avoid suspicion from the masses of humans. Last among the list of her appearance is her pants, which is nothing more then simple pair of jeans tinted black with studs lining the cuffs and belt. Trying her best to avoid confusion with the amount of people that change fashion she tries her best to stay in touch to blend in better unlike most shinigami who dress, rather fanatical.
Background/History:
The history of the Taicho of the Eighth division can widen from anything from pitiful to words of wisdom and a larger scale of victory to the descent into something like a phoenix.
Her story started all but roughly a Thousand ago in the Rukongai district of the Soul Society. It all started in the Inuzuri district with a gasp awoke a small girl named Lynea. Bearing no real last name Lynea wandered the streets looking for something, anything that could tell her as to where her coordinates were among this new found land. It was all alien to her and now that she looks back it appears even worse then it should have been. While she was off and alone she tried to comprehend exactly what she was, and where she was. With no real knowledge Lynea stumbled along for two full days. It wasn't until she met a small family of a husband, wife, and single son that she was accepted rather hastily once Lynea put her mind to it, calling her sister and daughter confused yet intrigued her. Welcoming arms was foreign to her mind yet comforting.
Years passed as she soon took up the name as Lynea Nihla, in most modern standards she learned the basics that the family had to teach her including some medicinal herb extracts from her 'father.' Catching on to the teachings of her father she often experimented as well her patriach of the family keeping things in line Lynea showed a great gift for diagnosing syndromes and wounds.
When the cogs of time continued to tick Lynea volunteered many hours at the clinic that her father worked at, playing a nurse for most respects. There she learned more about the anatomy of a human as well as how things worked as well as her skill slowing became more and more polished. Yet no years of experience could have prepared Lynea for the night that was to come some months later.
The day that changed Lynea's life was one solemn night when she was leaving the clinic her friends intruded yelling and shouting about how the youngest among them, was wounded in a 'accident' involving another group of people. Lynea immediately rushed the victim, her friend to the operation room all the while shouting for her father a doctor anyone. Yet her cries went unheard and Lynea was forced to make the call, and begin operation on the victim. Suturing the wound as best she could she struggled on to keep him alive, elbow deep in blood she choked back the tears while she attempted to seal his wound, that being a rather large gash. Yet somehow, her valiant effort was in vain. The man died before her yet not before offering her the small trinket from around his neck, almost signifying his thanks to her for trying and how he knew she tried her best. Yet no matter her efforts in attempts to save a life Lynea knew medicinal studies were not her forte' and she began researching and studying harder and harder into the forces in which was apply called, "Science"
Years passed as Lynea begun to doubt herself, wearing the trinket in which she blamed herself for the cause and effect of that night, yet it wasn't until her family insisted she entered the Shinigami Academy. Stating on how she could fit right in with the talented souls that dwell within the walls of the Seireitei. Regretfully she entered however there Lynea learned that things were not in her power to control, she also was instructed that research as well as saving ones life was the greatest gift a shinigami can give. Knowing now that her friends death was not her fault Lynea swore never to let anyone else die while she could do something about it. Thus giving her the motivation to graduate ahead of her class and find a seated position with the influx of shinigami.
It wasn't until years later that Lynea was appointed her captains seat by her outstanding performance in the division as well as overall attitude as a shinigami, yet still she wonders if this could have been different. Yet now, as a captain she must pertain those thoughts to her own mind instead of publicly as she has been used to doing. As well as the years passing her maturity grew exponentially over the years until Seven hundred years later she became a prominent taicho among the gotei 13.
However strenuous her life was as a captain her life wasn't without consequence. Whilst out in a urgent usher of reinforcements the Captain of the Eighth Division was dispatched to do battle with a small force of Arrancar. It was here that Lynea received the strangest of 'gifts' as one could label. It was during this encounter in which she suffered a small blow by a daft like dart, shrugging it off she dispatched of the Arrancar before feeling slightly, different. It was here that she suffered what many would call a Hollowification from which was isolated within the dart like syringe. Fighting off the instincts that were rushing through her mind she found a small hovel of ruins in a isolated from the remnants of the region she was issued too. It was here that Lynea forcefully struggled with something inside of her soul, a darker form of herself which wanted power far greater then what she owned. Removing her Captains coat she knew that the process in which she was going through, only by hearing rumors and faint reports of it. Using the coat she used in as well as a restraining kido onto herself to bind herself until she could regain full control. Days turned to weeks as she laid there, stuck in a comatose like state for many of weeks until finally her eyes fluttered open with the news of her dominant status. Yet there in the grass ahead of her was a mask, made of a marble like stature. Picking it up she examined the mask, then her captains shihakushou, knowing that her return to the Soul Society would be forbidden she wrapped the mask up in her coat as she started off on her own...
Zanpakutô Spirit:
Andoxu
[Copyright to the Concept Artist on DeviantART]
Andoxu, the spirit of Lynea Nihla's zanpakuto appears to be something which if a celestial formation. Without a normal appearance of a solid creature, Andoxu appears in most respects as an assortment of crystals forming a runic emblem above the realm in which it dwells. Andoxu is known for being rather silent avoiding giving elongated speeches about power or ones strengths and weaknesses. Instead Andoxu is more granting of words of wisdom in well placed situations as well as being rather observant.
The realm in which Lynea first encountered Andoxu would best be described as a tropical rain forest. However as broad as the forest is, there is no sound of any creature known to exist. In spare just an empty forest basking in the sunlight which emits long overhead. While as lush as the vegetation of the forest is the looming haze in which engulfs the forest as a whole is enough for one to lose their way. Located in the center of the forest is a lake, as if the focal point of the inner world that is where Lynea first encountered Andoxu, who was above watching over the wooded domain.
Andoxu as an entity has no gender for Andoxu is a celestial like entity. The voice of Andoxu is shared in both a male, and female tone to further increase Lynea's belief of what Andoxu is. Andoxu is a very patient spirit, allowing time for Lynea's knowledge to grow however in some circumstances Andoxu has been known also been known to grant more then just wisdom but power and might as well; however this was used in toe with responsibility that Lynea embraces.
Sealed Zanpakutô:
Andoxu
[Copyright to the Artist on DeviantART]
Andoxu sealed in the most dulled down form of a weapon is the shape of a Souba. Unique as the blade formation is Lynea tries her best never to unsheathe the blade, keeping her ideal of peace before violence to a maximum ideal. Yet when the blade has been seen it know for certain the blade it anything but normal, even in a sealed form. Instead of owning a single edged blade, Andoxu has two blades parallel in length and shape. The actual length of both blades is roughly 25 inches in length or two feet. The grip of the blade is cross pattern leaving a diamond pattern of which is not wrapped, the color of the grip itself is dyed blue with the unwrapped section being a bronzed like tan color. The hilt of the blade is decorated in a abnormally sized hilt holding both of the blades. With the size allows enough room for engraving a pattern almost the same style of Andoxu's figure. Crystal like designs are etched onto the metal hilt of the blade as well as the unwrapped segments of the grip. The butt of the blade accents the rest of the sealed zanpakuto with the same color as the hilt and the unwrapped segments of the handle. With no fancy etching placed on the cap the sword itself is contrasted and unique onto itself
Shikai Description:
Andoxu Shikai
[Copyrighted to Phenixia on DeviantART]
When Andoxu reaches Shikai the blade in which was there once before is engulfed in a green light, as well as being accompanied by a small humming noise. While the blade grows the light continues to engulf the figure of the blade until it gets to about the length of a pole-arm. When the growth stops the sudden sound of a drop of water echo's as the green light fades showing a rather large Trident.
The appearance of Andoxu is exhibited by three arms extending from the pole arm. Each arm gripping a blade as it protrudes into the space which was once empty. The handle of the Trident is made of what appears to be a Crystalline rod with ridges etched into it to give a translucent like appearance. In company with the rest of the trident the blades themselves do not gain the visual appearance of a crystal. As well as the crystal formation of a rod there are small charms hanging from each arm of the Trident giving it a bit of flare, however each charm has a runic like symbol etched in it. Each symbol is Andoxu's name broken down into smaller groups such as "AN" on one, and "DO" on another.
The fighting stance in which Lynea takes is a classical fighting stance holding the spear behind of her with the tips pointing down as she keeps a rather forward posture ready to counter any attack that would so happen to come her way.
The abilities in which Andoxu grants while in shikai are a few unique traits. These traits range from healing, to damaging a foe in exponential rates.
The first of these abilities is a healing ability, the ability is better known as Nourish. Nourish is activated when Lynea takes her trident and stabs it into the ground causing the ground to crack and ripple with smaller crystal formations until they grow to about 5 inches off of the ground. After making the small pyre like structures they start to seep a blue like fluid which covers the area in which Lynea stabbed, roughly 5 yards from the actual pierce. However the fluid is not the cause of the ability it certainly offers an explanation for what area one feels the effect in. While in the area of Nourish those with a wound will feel the pain slowly dissolve in a form of pain killer yet this does not take away the pain it does substitute the pain, as well as numbs the wound.
The second of Andoxu's abilities is a purely based offensive ability. The ability is better refferred to as Numb, however the name is deceitful the actual effects one receives are anything but. Numb works by Lynea placing her hand on the top side of the Trident as the blades grow a small faint glimmer of jade on the edges poison begins to form on the blade. Neural toxin's in the simplest form start to gather and multiply until Lynea uses it in combat. Upon receiving a wound during Numb's activated state wherever the blow lands either it be an arm, a leg, or something else the immediate response is the muscles begin to tighten slowly then let loose the pressure of being tightened. As the time passes the muscle begins to tighten and loosen faster and faster until it starts to escalate into uncontrollable convulsions. "Numb" generally lasts about 10 minutes in total which subsides if treated immediately the effect can be fatal if the blow is landed near the heart or other vital organs yet Lynea tends to use it around the limbs to stop combat effectively and swiftly.
Release:
""Do that which needs to be, Undone!"
Bankai:
Andoxu's Bankai is something of marvel, unique to the soul society and quite possibly the remaining known Bankai's among the Shinigami alike. Lynea achieved Bankai through intense training with her own mind, it was not until Lynea was forced to live. Attacked by countless hollows Lynea was placed in the situation, master Andoxu.
To achieve Bankai, Lynea simply recreates her acts of Shikai by thrusting the Trident into the ground everything within a 20 yard[40 Yards wide] radius from Lyn is engulfed in the crystal like formation solidifying everything from grass, tree's, animals, to man made structures. After the initial strike a small crack forms in a circle at the edge of the circle. rather large stalactite formations materialize.
Among the rather glistening Bankai of Andoxu there are two abilities that distinctly stand out, even so it adds to the flavor of the Crystalline formation in which was created. The abilities of her Bankai are potent as well as supportive in most aspects, generally she never resorts to using these abilities however if the act calls upon Lynea wastes little time in hesitation to apply these measures.
The first of Andoxus' granted abilities to Lynea is known as Overdose. Overdose reaches into Lynea's person drawing as much reiatsu from her person as possible concentrating the reiatsu onto the blade end of her trident. In the most simplest form of explanation, Lynea strikes the ground as the Crystalline formation shatters launching shards into every direction. Upon striking where the shards land the formation instantly takes hold latching onto the surrounding. After latching onto itself Lynea may take control of the crystalline formation usually forming barriers and walls to block oncoming attacks however also being able to use in the form of attack. The range however is differing on range usually lasting as far as the 40 yard in total. Generally Lynea can only control up to 5 of the constructs at a time with little issue yet anything higher generally demands a greater amount on her person. In most respects, Lynea will use overdose to shield the wounded from enemy harm before offensively using this ability.
The second ability that is unlocked during Bankai is called Comatose. The effect of Comatose is the offensive trait in which Lynea generally deals her final blow to her enemy. How Comatose works is involved mainly in the crystal formation. Each Crystalline pillar starts to hum a mysterious tone as the sound of a tuning fork. As the sound starts to pinnacle in decibels they release a small beam to the nearby structures, when the structures attached themselves. After the connection is made the pillars begin to creep towards the center of the crystalline formation encasing whomever happens to be stuck within the confines, yet easily escaped by a skilled one in sonido or shunpo. Upon locking into a small "Jail Cell" like confines noxious gas starts to fume from the crystalline formation causing inhalation issues with the respiratory function of whoever is stuck within it.
Vizard powers:
Her Vizard powers are limited to only three maneuvers, each holding some form of significance among any others. Yet each with a devastating wake Lynea tends to rely on these only when the situation calls for it.
The first ability is nothing more then the simple Cero. In which she weaves her own form of Kido into the blast to cause abit more destructive power.
The second real gift from her Vizard powers is the fact of her knowledge of Kido can grant her, while yet still able to use full function she is able to combine the two into a deadly art form. This ability is called Bloody Arts, in which Lynea will charge two Cero's one blue, and one teal. Yet appearing in a normal blast like structure the hidden deviant nature of these Cero's are in the factor that they can lock onto a reiatsu source, almost like a heat seeking missile. With this addition the Cero will only detonate when making contact with the reiatsu it has locked onto.
The third ability is the ability of Garganta, however small this can really factor into things she can use this to teleport at a rather fast rate or even create rift's to travel in while battling someone to cause the utmost of confusion in her opponent.
Hollow form:
Lynea's Hollow form is that of a scorpion, almost mocking the peaceful serene nature of Andoxu the scorpion challanges the toxins in which is common for Andoxu to allow Lynea to procure to do battle. The scoprion itself is the color of which Andoxu appears to Lynea in, crystaline in shape yet nasty in variation.

Roleplay Sample:
[This was taken from a Resident Evil site in which I Roleplay Albert Wesker]
Within the darkened cave found in the nearby Kijuju city it was apparent something that would easily of concerned the matters of the world was taking place. Albert Wesker, versus Chris Redfield the old rivalry didn't seem to have ended with Chris and Sheva's collective efforts and the new stage of combat was here and now. It was quite obvious that Albert hold the upper ground in the catacombs that entrenched the caverns found here. Now he was more or less going to end it, the battlefield was encased in shadows and now begins the mid battle taunts...
“I’ll stop you before that happens.”
Oh the words echoed like a bat using sonar in the dark and it was quite obvious now that Chris was using all his resources to cause a ill conceived response from Albert.
"Chris, Chris... You speak as if I havn't already distributed it. Like I said before, It's Already Here"
Wesker taunted from a distance giving Chris a few moments for it to sink in as the sound of his boots could be heard clunking on the cobblestone nearby, as if drums accompanying his vocal performance. If there was one thing Albert was good at, it was manipulating the fear of the common man into his fingertips. Whilst the echo of his voice could be heard corridors and twists along the way he stopped in his tracks before looking over to Holly, well where Holly was known to make noise. If there was one thing of his little lab minion was her lygophobia, something he would have to cure at a later date in time. Perhaps now was the time for Albert to make his move, to usher in a warning of sorts to Chris and the BSAA. However truthful things were, Albert didn't want to give any sort of objective courtesy to his current alive or dead status, perhaps giving Chris something to warn the BSAA would work in his favor. Make Chris cry wolf until his expulsion from the BSAA Was inevitable, surely he would seek repercussions for sinking a tanker ship full of Uroboros and causing the "emergency landing" of a stealth plane with the same effect wouldn't hold to well with a superior office. Oh it seemed it all just happened yesterday, and in all intent and purposes it did, it was still fresh in Albert's mind.
As moments lingered in minutes Albert started his pace of the Redfield once more, thanking himself silently for the better vision in a darker tinted area he could see him cower like a rat against the cave wall. Within a moment he dispersed as he reached within a step infront of Chris as he sighed silently as he reached for the adam's apple of the man. Grasping it rather silently he lifted Chris up into the air. Not with the intent to harm him, whilst Albert did this it sparked something nearby causing a flicker, a spark as it ignited a small bustle of flames. Setting an odd ambiance he grinned lightly as he noticed Holly in the dim light before looking back up at the male Redfield. "Listen here, Chris. Mankind has always worked around my fingertips, Even now they work for me. What makes you think there is good in this world while the hearts of men are so willingly flung to me. You live in a world of fantasy my dear Redfield!" Albert added in a snarling tone as he let go of his grip before flicking his wrist in attempts to sling his little pray into the cave further.
"Think of it, You couldn't beat me without your... "Partner" You cannot even touch me here and now, Mankind, it disgusts me to think I was once of your lot, Feeble, Insignificant. Yet I am so much more now, I am a Deity!" Albert boasted as he stepped forward to the body in which the BSAA agent was in, taking in every second of agony he was experiencing, it was bliss for Albert.
Perhaps a painful melody was in order, besides this was turning into a rather good day for him.
