History/Background: Zhao Yun was born in the Zhending (真定) county of Changshan (常山) province (now Zhengding, Hebei) around the year 168 AD. He joined the warlord Gongsun Zan around the end of 191 or the beginning of 192 as commander of a small group of county volunteers. In 192 he was placed under the authority of Liu Bei, who at the time held only the rank of a major under Gongsun Zan, as a commander of Liu Bei’s cavalry forces. Liu Bei had a contingent of several thousand Wuhuan cavalry and Zhao Yun was put in charge of this force. Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei to attend his elder brother’s funeral soon after.
He rejoined Liu Bei in 200, when Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and fled to Yuan Shao. Evidently Zhao Yun had an extremely close friendship with Liu Bei. Records of Three Kingdoms says that they slept in the same bed during the time the two were together in the city of Ye. Around the same time, Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to secretly recruit more men to reinforce Liu Bei’s then small army under Yuan Shao. From then on, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei in his sojourns throughout northern China.
In 202, Zhao Yun participated in the Battle of Bowang against Xiahou Dun, a general serving under Cao Cao. During the battle, Zhao Yun captured Xiahou Lan (夏侯蘭). Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan were from the same hometown, and they had known each other since childhood. Zhao Yun went to Liu Bei and pleaded for Xiahou Lan’s life. He suggested to Liu Bei since Xiahou Lan was an expert in law, he could be appointed as an army judge, to which Liu Bei consented. However, Zhao Yun never kept Xiahou Lan close to him, so as to separate personal relations from official matters
In 208, Zhao Yun distinguished himself at the Battle of Changban. When Liu Bei was fleeing in the chaos, he left his family behind. Then Zhao Yun disappeared to the north, prompting suspicion that Zhao Yun had surrendered to Cao Cao. When someone reported that to Liu Bei, Liu Bei angrily threw a handaxe and said "Zilong would never desert me". Sure enough, Zhao Yun came back with Liu Bei's infant son Liu Shan in his arms, also bringing back his wife Lady Gan. With this, Zhao Yun was promoted to General of the Standard (牙門將軍).
After the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhao Yun played a major role in conquering territories of Jiangnan for Liu Bei. He was named a major-general (偏將軍) and was appointed the Grand Administrator of Guiyang (桂陽太守), replacing Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan had a widowed sister in-law, Lady Fan (樊氏), whose tremendous beauty supposedly could ruin countries and cities. He proposed her to Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun politely turned Zhao Fan down, “I share the same surname as you. Therefore I consider your brother my brother.” Many people thought it would be a great match and suggested to Zhao Yun that he should take Lady Fan as his wife. Zhao Yun explained to them, “Zhao Fan surrendered only recently. His intentions are not yet clear. Besides, there are plenty of women in this world.” In the end, he did not marry Lady Fan. His worries turned out to be true; Zhao Fan later fled from Guiyang.
When Liu Bei entered the Yi province (益州), he appointed Zhao Yun as the main officer to oversee his base (Liuying Sima, 留營司馬) in Gong'an (公安). Liu Bei’s wife then was Lady Sun, Sun Quan’s sister. Emboldened by her brother’s power and influence, she and her militia often ran wild, breaking many laws. Liu Bei considered since Zhao Yun was serious, firm and unwavering, he must be able to bring everything under control and maintain order. Therefore, Liu Bei gave Zhao Yun the special authority to oversee the internal affairs of Gongan (to keep an eye on Lady Sun and her followers at the same time). Soon after Liu Bei left the Jing province, Sun Quan secretly summoned his sister back. Lady Sun decided to bring Liu Shan along with her, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei managed to stop her in time on the Yangtze River and rescued the young lord.
Later in 214, Zhao Yun accompanied Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang into Shu. He held separate command, marching from Jiangzhou (江州; modern-day Chongqing) via Jiangyang (江陽; modern-day Luzhou) and Jianwei (犍為) to Chengdu. Zhao Yun was named General Yijun (翊軍將軍) after Liu Bei claimed Chengdu. Around that time some people made suggestions to Liu Bei that all the generals should be awarded estates/plantations around Chengdu so they could settle in. Zhao Yun argued that it was more suitable to return these properties to the local people. Liu Bei accepted his advice.
Battle of Hanshui
In 219, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were battling over the control of Hanzhong. Cao Cao had huge supplies of rice stocked up near the North Mountain. Zhao Yun sent his soldiers with Huang Zhong, one of Liu Bei’s great generals, to attack Cao Cao’s army and to take the supplies. Huang Zhong did not return on time. Zhao Yun along with a dozen men, went out of camp to look for Huang Zhong. Cao Cao’s main force was marching at that time; Zhao Yun ran into Cao’s vanguards. Not soon after the two sides commenced to engage in battle, Cao Cao’s main force arrived. The situation became very perilous for Zhao Yun, as he and his men were greatly outnumbered. He decided to attack the frontline of Cao Cao’s army. Cao Cao’s men were surprised by the attack and momentarily dispersed. However, they soon regrouped and surrounded Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun fought his way out toward his own camp. When he found out his lieutenant general Zhang Zhu (張著) was wounded and fell behind, he went back to rescue him.
Cao Cao's army pursued Zhao Yun to his camp. At that time, the Administrator of Mianyang (沔陽), Zhang Yi, was at Zhao Yun’s camp. He was surrounded by enemys as he knew this would be his final hour. He pulled out his spear as he charged into the men cutting them down one by one as he slashed wildly making his way toward Cao Cao. It was here that Cao Cao ordered his archers to fire even though his men were in danger as well. The archers fired as Zhao Yun looked up he saw the volley of arrows flying him and spun his spear around making a litttle wall only to have one of the arrows get through and pierce him in his shoulder and then another volley was realesed as the arrows hit his body one by one.
Shigami arc-
Unlike most shigami that go through the acadamy Zhao yun entered the soul society in a time of civil war. Factions battled for the control of the society and zhao yun was drafted and put in the front lines. It would be in the front lines that he'd make a name for himself in the soul society. He knew nothing of kido or what a zanpakuto was but in time he would slowly understand everthing that was going on. He fought in m any battles that made a huge impact on where the soul society is today.
He fought in The siege of osaka castle which began on November 19TH 1614 and lasted until January 22ND 1615, when Ieyasu led three thousand men across the Kizu River, destroying the fort there. A week later, he attacked the village of Imafuku with 1,500 men against a defending force of 600. With the aid of a squad of arquebuses, the shogun forces claimed victory once again. Several more small forts and villages were attacked before the siege on Osaka Castle itself began on December 4th, 1614. Zhao Yun built a small fortress called Zhao-maru in the southwest of the Osaka Castle. The Zhao-maru was an earthwork barbician defended by Zhao Yun and approximately 7000 men, on the behalf of Toyotomi Hideyori. From there, he defeated the Tokugawa forces (approximately 30,000 men) with groups of 6000 arquebusiers. The Shogun’s forces were repeatedly repelled, and Sanada and his men launched a number of attacks against the siege lines, breaking through three times. Ieyasu then resorted to artillery (including 17 imported European cannons and domestic wrought iron cannons) as well as men employed to dig under the walls of the fortress. The fortress was impregnable; the leysau army suffered much losses. So Ieyasu gave up trying to destroy the castle during this battle, and proposed a reconciliation with Toyotomi Hideyori. This was Ieysau’s insidious strategy. He proposed a condition for the reconciliation, i.e. to destroy the outer moat of the castle. When his envoy came into the castle, they destroyed not only the outer moat but the inner moat as well. This sent his name through the ranks as a great strategest and fighter.
The Battle of Tennoji(guchi) was fought on June 4, 1615. This would be the last battle of the Siege of Osaka It is said that during this battle Zhao Yun engaged Tokugawa Ieyasu directly in single combat and wounded him in the side with a spear thrust. This is where Zhao Yun first learned of Shikai. Zhao Yun was greatly over powered by Ieyasu as he laid there on the ground. He was for sure that he was going to die right then and there. Then he closed his eyes as he entered his inner world of Dieze. It was nothing but ash of sand there. There was no sun but yet it was bright as day. Zhao Yun looked around wondering what had happened and where was he until he saw a manin crimson armor approching him and said looks like you need my help Zhao Yun. Zhao yun quickly jumped back and asked who are you and how do you know who i am. The man smiled and said "My Name is Yukimura Sanada that is all you need to know for now we'll met again." Zhao Yun awoke as he moved quickly out of Ieyasu attack and grabed Ieyasu throwing him back. Zhao Yun held his spear as the sealed zanpakuto fell like a shell exposing his shikai. Ieyasu laughed and said" you think you can beat me just cause you hav achieved your shikai well you dont even know how to use it." Ieyasu charged at him as zhao yun moved quickly back and blocked his attack. All of his senses and relexs were increased now. Ieyasu's movement were as if he was moving in slow motion. Zhao Yun battled Ieyasu fiercely not one willing to back down until Zhao Yuns shkai was surrouned by his green spiret pressure and Zhao Yun moved forward quickly spinning around as his body flickered. He spun slashing his shikai at him as he jumped up and slammed his spear into the ground caused his spiret pressure to go out like shock waves. This made Ieyasu fly up as Zhao Yun jumped up in the air aiming for Ieyasu and slashing cutting him in half. Zhao Yun landed and stood there covered in blood with his body torn and cut up but they wouldn't leave scars on him.
For the next couple of Years there would be peace and people would live in harmony but the war was still not over. Zhao Yun took advantage of this and trained with his shikai. Still at the army camps Zhao Yun sat for day in and out of his tent trying to master his Shikai. He trained in the world of his zanpakuto which he found out was called Hinzo. He trained with his zanpakuto spiret learning new abilitys and learning how to get the full effect of his abilitys. It was in his time of training that he learned he had some what increased speed along with his reflexs and senses. Then one day he recieved a message that he was in charge or platoon of men and was to attack Mikatagahara.
It was hear that they would unify the land and stop the civil war but the man who was in their way was one not to be taken lightly. His name was Lu Bu. Zhao Yun had fought against him many times when he was alive and knew that htis would battle would not be as easy and pleaded for aid. Lu Bu had a massive army and Zhao Yun knew he'd need the help of a captain. Zhao Yun looked over the battle field as he talked to the captians making up a strategy. It was decieded that Zhao Yun would sneak into the castle adn assinate Lu Bu while the captians and shigami would attack and create a diversion.
As Zhao Yun and the captians drove south, seeking to attack Lu Bu at his fortress at Hamamatsu, his forces were met by Lu Bu on a high plain called Mikata, just north of the fortress. According to the Kōyō Gunkan, the contemporary Lu Bu military history, Lu Bu outnumbered Zhao Yun three-to-one, and organized his men in the gyōrin (fish-scale) formation, enticing his opponent to attack. Lu Bu's troops were arranged in a line, so they could make the best use of their arquebusiers.
At around four in the afternoon, snow began to fall, and the arquebusiers opened fire, along with a number of peasant stone-throwers. Lu Bu then let loose his famous cavalry charge; his horsemen raced towards the the shigami, and overran them; some of Zhao Yuns men stood firm, but many withdrew or were killed.
The next day Zhao Yun split up his warriors sallied forth from the castles, the battle turned into a melee fought in the middle of the shallow river. For a time, Zhau Yuns forces fought the Lu Bu's men up on both sides a short distance upstream. After the the south side defeated Lu Bu's forces they turned and hit the the enemy right flank. Inaba Ittetsu, who had been held in reserve, then came forward and hit the enemy left flank. Many of the besiegers of Yokoyama even left their task to aid in the battle. Lu Bu fled back into his fortress where Zhao Yun was waiting for him The room turned dark as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun stood face to face face. Zhao Yun held his zanpakuto as it shattered exposing his shikai. Lu Bu summoned his shikai as they charged at each other. They Both slashed blocking each other as Lu Bu took the attack andp ushed Zhao Yun Back. Zhao Yun jumped up behind and slashed as Lu Bu turned around blocking his attack boht fought and slashed at each other only blocking each other out. Zhao Yun jumped back and then dashed forward as Lu Bu was encased by his red spiret pressure and blew Zhao Yun back into a wall. He went through the wall as he flew into the field. He flipped backwards and landed on the ground. Lu Bu had summoned his bankai. Zhao Yun looked up as he saw a hug dog made of fire and ash standing in front of them. Zhao Yun ran towards only to be knocked back by Lu Bu himself. Then Lu Bu laughed and said "You are strong but you cant compare to my Bankai." Zhao Yun saw his men getting massacred by his bankai as he tried to stand up but couldn't. He saw a spear had entered his leg. He closed his eyes as rage filled his body and he tightend as his eyes turned blue and his hair white blue as crystals encased his body. He flew up as he flew forward as Lu Bu's zanpakuto shot a stright fire blast him. Zhao Yun was encased by crystals and slashed stopping the fire. he held his right hand out as crstals flew at Lu Bu. He blocked them as he flew at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun appeared behind Lu Bu as he thrusted his spear at him cutting his shoulder. Zhao Yun then grabed Lu Bu as he through him back. They Both charted as Lu Bu stood on top of his bankai. Zhao Yun flew staright toward it as they both collided and made a huge explosion. Zhao Yun fell as he landed on his back and slowly stood up. He then saw Lu bu coming back towards him. Zhao Yun held out his left hand as crystals shot out and collided with the dog. Then he flew up and flew down straight toward Lu Bu as this time there was a black explosion and both of them were gone. No one knew what happened to them since no body was ever found . So now hundreds of years later Zhao Yun has found his way home.
Roleplay Sample:
Zhao Yun walked into the soul society with a maroon cape on as he looked around watching the people walk by him. He carried his zanpakuto on his back. He stopped as he turned around looking at the busy streets. He smiled as he remembered long ago that this was a place of war and now a a place of peace He then turned around once more walking down the street. He could catch the smell of dumplings which made him chuckle since his stomach started to growl. He then walked into a little shop sitting down.
He closed his eyes wondering what he would do now. He had been gone for so longand knew that he wouldn't be remembered by anyone. He coulnd't really remember where he had been as if it was locked away. He thought maybe it was for the best since it could have been a horrible memory. He thens aw the waitress standing next to him wating for him to order. He shook his head and took a deep breath.
"I'll have a cup of sweet tea and some bumplings please."
Zhao Yun then leaned back in his chair as he saw mena nd women wearing all black. He wondered what was going on since in his time the shigami uniform wasn't invented. He then adjusted his headband as he saw the women carrying his food to him. She set it down as Zhao Yung grabed the cup slowly and took a sip of the tea and then grabed a dumpling and ate it. He wondered what he would do now since he thought there was no more fighting or so he thought. Zhao Yun knew nothing of what was going on in the Gotie 13.
He stood up as he paid for the food and walked out. He grabed his zanpakuto from in front of the door and walked down the road more. He saw the Gotie 13 towers from where he was at and wondered what they were. He approched them as he walked as saw shigami guarding the road to it. He looked around as he they looked at him. He knew that if he did anything wrong that there would be problems and that was the last thing he needed.
He stopped as he noticed they were following him. He turned around and looked at them. He wondered if he sould fight them or should he just walk away. He didn't want to make problems but then again the shigami look as if they were looking for trouble. Zhao Yuna walked toward them. As he walked toward them they stopped and grabbed their zanpakutos getting ready to fight. Zhao Yun counted 4 of them and then grabed his zanpakuto. They stood there as a strong wind picked up and the dust blew in making it hard to see.
Zhao Yun ran as he grabed his cape and threw it at one of them blinding them for a brief second. He pulled out his zanpakuto and stood in front of them as soon as the wind stopped. The shigami stood there letting go of their zanpakutos and looked at him. Zhao Yun then lowered his weapon and knew that he had made a statement to them but he wondered if they would get the picture that he wasn't jsut a traveler or a new soul to these parts.
He then heard a voice in his head and Zhao Yun knew whose voice it was. It was his zanpakuto Yukimara Sanada. Zhao Yun put his zanpakuto away as Yukimura told him that they hadn't mastered their shikai yet. They only want to fight so that they can train and in hopes achieve their shikai. He then said that they were waisting time here and that they need to hurry up and find the leader of this place but hte only problem was they didn't know what htis place was called.

When Liu Bei entered the Yi province (益州), he appointed Zhao Yun as the main officer to oversee his base (Liuying Sima, 留營司馬) in Gong'an (公安). Liu Bei’s wife then was Lady Sun, Sun Quan’s sister.

Battle of Hanshui
In 219, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were battling over the control of Hanzhong. Cao Cao had huge supplies of rice stocked up near the North Mountain. Zhao Yun sent his soldiers with Huang Zhong, one of Liu Bei’s great generals, to attack Cao Cao’s army and to take the supplies. Huang Zhong did not return on time.

It was in his time of training that he learned he had some what increased speed along with his reflexs and senses. Then one day he recieved a message that he was in charge or platoon of men and was to attack Mikatagahara.
It was hear that they would unify the land and stop the civil war but the man who was in their way was one not to be taken lightly. His name was Lu Bu. Zhao Yun had fought against him many times when he was alive and knew that htis would battle would not be as easy and pleaded for aid. Lu Bu had a massive army and Zhao Yun knew he'd need the help of a captain. Zhao Yun looked over the battle field as he talked to the captians making up a strategy. It was decieded that Zhao Yun would sneak into the castle adn assinate Lu Bu while the captians and shigami would attack and create a diversion.
As Zhao Yun and the captians drove south, seeking to attack Lu Bu at his fortress at Hamamatsu, his forces were met by Lu Bu on a high plain called Mikata, just north of the fortress. According to the Kōyō Gunkan, the contemporary Lu Bu military history, Lu Bu outnumbered Zhao Yun three-to-one, and organized his men in the gyōrin (fish-scale) formation, enticing his opponent to attack. Lu Bu's troops were arranged in a line, so they could make the best use of their arquebusiers.
At around four in the afternoon, snow began to fall, and the arquebusiers opened fire, along with a number of peasant stone-throwers. Lu Bu then let loose his famous cavalry charge; his horsemen raced towards the the shigami, and overran them; some of Zhao Yuns men stood firm, but many withdrew or were killed.
The next day Zhao Yun split up his warriors sallied forth from the castles, the battle turned into a melee fought in the middle of the shallow river. For a time, Zhau Yuns forces fought the Lu Bu's men up on both sides a short distance upstream. After the the south side defeated Lu Bu's forces they turned and hit the the enemy right flank. Inaba Ittetsu, who had been held in reserve, then came forward and hit the enemy left flank. Many of the besiegers of Yokoyama even left their task to aid in the battle. Lu Bu fled back into his fortress where Zhao Yun was waiting for him The room turned dark as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun stood face to face face. Zhao Yun held his zanpakuto as it shattered exposing his shikai. Lu Bu summoned his shikai as they charged at each other. They Both slashed blocking each other as Lu Bu took the attack andp ushed Zhao Yun Back. Zhao Yun jumped up behind and slashed as Lu Bu turned around blocking his attack boht fought and slashed at each other only blocking each other out. Zhao Yun jumped back and then dashed forward as Lu Bu was encased by his red spiret pressure and blew Zhao Yun back into a wall. He went through the wall as he flew into the field. He flipped backwards and landed on the ground. Lu Bu had summoned his bankai. Zhao Yun looked up as he saw a hug dog made of fire and ash standing in front of them. Zhao Yun ran towards only to be knocked back by Lu Bu himself. Then Lu Bu laughed and said "You are strong but you cant compare to my Bankai." Zhao Yun saw his men getting massacred by his bankai as he tried to stand up but couldn't. He saw a spear had entered his leg. He closed his eyes as rage filled his body and he tightend as his eyes turned blue and his hair white blue as crystals encased his body. He flew up as he flew forward as Lu Bu's zanpakuto shot a stright fire blast him. Zhao Yun was encased by crystals and slashed stopping the fire. he held his right hand out as crstals flew at Lu Bu. He blocked them as he flew at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun appeared behind Lu Bu as he thrusted his spear at him cutting his shoulder. Zhao Yun then grabed Lu Bu as he through him back. They Both charted as Lu Bu stood on top of his bankai. Zhao Yun flew staright toward it as they both collided and made a huge explosion. Zhao Yun fell as he landed on his back and slowly stood up. He then saw Lu bu coming back towards him. Zhao Yun held out his left hand as crystals shot out and collided with the dog. Then he flew up and flew down straight toward Lu Bu as this time there was a black explosion and both of them were gone. No one knew what happened to them since no body was ever found . So now hundreds of years later Zhao Yun has found his way home.
Roleplay Sample:
Zhao Yun walked into the soul society with a maroon cape on as he looked around watching the people walk by him. He carried his zanpakuto on his back. He stopped as he turned around looking at the busy streets. He smiled as he remembered long ago that this was a place of war and now a a place of peace He then turned around once more walking down the street. He could catch the smell of dumplings which made him chuckle since his stomach started to growl. He then walked into a little shop sitting down.
He closed his eyes wondering what he would do now. He had been gone for so longand knew that he wouldn't be remembered by anyone. He coulnd't really remember where he had been as if it was locked away. He thought maybe it was for the best since it could have been a horrible memory. He thens aw the waitress standing next to him wating for him to order. He shook his head and took a deep breath.
"I'll have a cup of sweet tea and some bumplings please."
Zhao Yun then leaned back in his chair as he saw mena nd women wearing all black. He wondered what was going on since in his time the shigami uniform wasn't invented. He then adjusted his headband as he saw the women carrying his food to him. She set it down as Zhao Yung grabed the cup slowly and took a sip of the tea and then grabed a dumpling and ate it. He wondered what he would do now since he thought there was no more fighting or so he thought. Zhao Yun knew nothing of what was going on in the Gotie 13.
He stood up as he paid for the food and walked out. He grabed his zanpakuto from in front of the door and walked down the road more. He saw the Gotie 13 towers from where he was at and wondered what they were. He approched them as he walked as saw shigami guarding the road to it. He looked around as he they looked at him. He knew that if he did anything wrong that there would be problems and that was the last thing he needed.
He stopped as he noticed they were following him. He turned around and looked at them. He wondered if he sould fight them or should he just walk away. He didn't want to make problems but then again the shigami look as if they were looking for trouble. Zhao Yuna walked toward them. As he walked toward them they stopped and grabbed their zanpakutos getting ready to fight. Zhao Yun counted 4 of them and then grabed his zanpakuto. They stood there as a strong wind picked up and the dust blew in making it hard to see.
Zhao Yun ran as he grabed his cape and threw it at one of them blinding them for a brief second. He pulled out his zanpakuto and stood in front of them as soon as the wind stopped. The shigami stood there letting go of their zanpakutos and looked at him. Zhao Yun then lowered his weapon and knew that he had made a statement to them but he wondered if they would get the picture that he wasn't jsut a traveler or a new soul to these parts.
He then heard a voice in his head and Zhao Yun knew whose voice it was. It was his zanpakuto Yukimara Sanada. Zhao Yun put his zanpakuto away as Yukimura told him that they hadn't mastered their shikai yet. They only want to fight so that they can train and in hopes achieve their shikai. He then said that they were waisting time here and that they need to hurry up and find the leader of this place but hte only problem was they didn't know what htis place was called.
