Shinigami
Name: Shintaro Takayama
Age: Looks 21, Really 298
Gender: Male
Weight: 156
Height: 5'10
Division: 10
Rank: Captain
Description:
For a rather simple man, Shintaro has rather strident features. There is however nothing particularly which stands out. If anything he looks a tad younger than he actually is, the male quite youthful both by spirit and appearance - perhaps a result of his thin body and more spindly movement. Shintaro appearance seems to make him appear craft and confident of himself.
Shin stands at a normal five feet and 10 inches. Nothing to impressive here. His body is slim however, lean muscles making up the proximity of his body weight. It allows for light movement, the speed based warrior rather quick to react - smooth with every furtive action. Portioned nicely, there is no area trained more than perhaps the other - aside from maybe a small increase in the legs. While there are real no blemishes it is clear to see that Shin has a light bash complexion.
His hair is crimson red. He likes to keep it short rather than long, but there will be times where he will be too lazy to cut it and it will hang over his eyes.
The man's visage is perhaps the most interesting thing about him. The bright red eyes of his are narrowly worn, thin eyebrows sprawled along top. Leading downward one would see that classic smirk, which seems to be plastered on his face like some kind of disease.
Personality: Shintaro has a short fuse. Although he is mature that doesn’t mean that he can’t get angry. He is very easily annoyed which goes along with his temperature. If you a generally annoying person, do not even approach him because it most likely will not end well. Although he doesn’t always have outbursts and scream and yell at people at every little thing, you can tell when he is angry or annoyed by his facial expressions and actions.
He is a determined individual, which is something he as always been and the reason he has gotten so far. His determination is what drives him, it's a major part of who he is. His loyalty is something that is hard to earn. There are only a few people who he gives his trust to completely, and to them he is as good as a devoted follower. He will never do anything to directly harm them.
Even though he is not emotionally attached to his team, Shintaro will keep his team mates alive at all cost. Even if it means having himself killed. Although he barely knows any of the other members of his squad, he`d still lay his life down for them. He is difficult to befriend with. Even though he seems always to be smiling and such, he never really gets attached to anyone. But for those who are his friends, you'll notice how attached and protective he is over them.
Shin is attracted to women,as he tends to flirt with the cute ones when he is not busy with his shinigami duties. Unfortunately, he has no real time to build an actual relationship with any girl because he is busy working. However, he still flirts and he is still quite seductive to the people whom he finds attractive. However, he does get most of her pent of physical desire out through bikini magazines that he purchases in the real world. He loves to look at them and then purchase certain swimsuits so that he may one day invite all the people in his division (and others if they want to come) so that they can have a beach party, so that he can finally have some time to flirt with the ladies
History: As a human, Shintaro was a very popular kid, as he had a lot of friends, good grades, and participated in almost every sport at school. His teachers say that he is their favorite student and that he will be missed when he graduates. At home, Shintaro lived with his parents, Hayato and Kikiyo, and had no siblings.
Late at night when he was walking home from the convenience store he heard a cat cry. Looking around he saw a small kitten stuck in a tree. He put his stuff down and climbed up to set it free. Of course the cat was being stubborn and scratch him. As Shin fell the cat landed on it's feet and ran. Getting up while scratching his head, Shin felt an unusual sensation and turned around but saw nothing. He picked up his stuff and walked back home. Though the feeling never went away. This time he saw something, it wasn't clear but it looked like a monster with a white mask. He was scared and ran. The monster eventually corned him. It's hand swopped toward him
When his eyes opened all he heard were sirens. He slowly opened his eyes to see police men and a crowd of locals. Getting up he heard noises. Looking down there was a chain on his chest. "I'm sorry ma'am, he's gone." hearing his mom crying. Running over he saw his dead body, drenched in blood. Shocked, he ran as fast as he could away from it till he tripped and fell. He got up and saw a black swallowtail and stared until a mysterious stranger in black appeared. "Who are you?"
"I'm a Shinigami, I'll be sending you to the soul society." He drew his sword but Shin got up and grabbed his collar and pulled it down until they were at eye leveled. "Where am I? What happened? How did it happen?!" He didn't show much expression. "You are where you died, this is where you lived until you died. A hollow, a evil soul did this to you. Unless you want to encounter that again I suggest you let me do my job" He stamped his forehead with the back of his sword as he fell into a glow of light.
As a soul, Shintaro thought that his past life was a dream and simply ignored it. Shintaro now lived in the 1st District of Rukongai, with his parents and his older sister, Ayame. His parents and his sister were soul reapers, who were both members of the 10th squad, which excited him as a young child, as he thought that he too will become shinigami. As soon as he were old enough, His father taught them the basic skills of a shinigami, zanjutsu, kido, and close combat. Shintaro excelled in his zanjutsu training and his kido, but could not fight using hakuda to save his life, which made his family laugh at him. One day, there was an attack on the town by shinigami bandits who defected from the soul society. Shintaro saw his neighbors and friends get killed on the spot and could not take it anymore. With his training sword, Shintaro and Ayame went on the attack, but were easily defeated, and all were knocked out unconscious. As they woke up, the town was in ruins and they found their parents on the ground, lifeless. Their grandfather, who was a captain at the time took in the children to train them in the arts of the shinigami.
Every day for the next couple of years, their grandfather trained each child differently. Because of the whole ordeal with his parents, Shintaro distanced himself from his sister, which made him a little hostel at his sister. This also made him lack at his training as he didn't feel like doing it any more if he was just going to die. Soon his grandfather yelled at him, saying that he needs to stop feeling bad herself and suck it up and be a man. Shintaro being as he was, did not listen to him, but decided to fight anyways, not because his grandfather said so, but to protect those around him from ever getting hurt. As soon as they were old enough, Shintaro and Ayame enrolled in the academy together, not knowing the outcome of their training.
Most of the students wondered why he was so distant, it was because of his parents death. Though for being distant, he was an exceptionally good student. He knew the gist of everything. Hohou, Kidou, Zanjutsu, even Hakuda, because of his grandfather. The next year, he was placed in the advanced class. It was only a step higher of a challenge to him. While everyone else was struggling, he went through practice quickly. He had quite a bit of free time, and took up a calligraphy class on the side. The years flew by quickly for him. While everyone else dreaded the sixth year students' graduation exam, Shintaro was relaxed. The day came where they took the final exam. It was a "game" of capture the flag. The goal was to capture a flag from the Commander of the Onmitsukido. The first to capture the flag could choose their division number. The game started, and all of the students rushed forward, and they could use any means to get the flag, even to attack with their academy training swords. As each other student ran forward, Shintaro strategized. He watched the pattern of the target, then moved swiftly, managing to grab hold of the flag. Everyone, including the Onmitsukido leader, was astonished. How could he move so quickly to grab the flag? It was simple, he watched as the target moved to the left as people tried to get it from the right. All Shin had to do was go to the left. He gave the flag back, and went forward to each Captain, looking over each of them. He was given the chance to choose which Division he wanted to join. In honor of his parents, he chose the 10th squad.

On the end of the lance, the blade is three blades conjoined at the base and separate into three ways. Among his arm, red samurai armor appears over his arm, while also forming a glaring gauntlet over his fist.

When released, Amatsukasai gives off a vicious amount of flames around his body, just enough to cover his entire person, and moves around his body. As he moves, so does the flames around his body. Although he can control them loosely, they are mainly to keep opponents at bay, unless they want to risk major burns. These flames can move outward to some degree, completing a radius of about 2 feet. The flames around his body react to his Reiatsu, almost feeding on it making them grow larger and more powerful. When his Reiatsu is all there and at full power, The flames around him are fluctuating and more powerful, measuring at about 1500 degrees Fahrenheit and giving 2nd or 3rd degree burns if not protected will enough, while when he doesn’t have any energy left, the flames have the same power as a candlelight, measuring at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to give someone a irritable skin burn. Though, if he had more energy than he knew what to do with, he could end up engulfing himself within the fire, killing himself.
Kouen Kyuushuu (Red Flame Assault)- When using this attack, His lance glows a bright red flame, and then slashes the air, making a arc of fire which flies towards the enemy. This is one of his more basic attacks, and can be used in both his shikai and his bankai.

Moeagaru Shouheki (Flaming Barrier)- While using this technique, his gauntlet produces a shield made reistsu, making can block kido attacks and energy attacks, but not physical ones. It can be destroyed by kido over 35 or by a more powerful signature attack
Kitsunebi (Will-o-Wisp)- This attack creates several balls of reistsu which gives off the appearance of balls of fire, as it flares Then using his sword or hands, he can command them to shoot towards his enemy at an average speed. These balls can only be around for a short time, so Shin has to quickly make use of them before they die out.
Yuuenhinote Gokaikukei (Grand Blaze Pentagon)- By using his previous attack, Will o wisp, The commands five balls of fire to surround the enemy. Then strands of fire connect the balls to each other, which produces a large pillar of fire engulfing the opponent. This is not a instant kill move, but leaves the opponent with serious wounds. This attack can be avoided just by moving outside of the pentagon.
Bankai
Call Out Phrase: Bankai, Hageshii Amatsukasai

His whole body his orange and wears a spiritual necklace. He follows Shintaro orders without hesitation and is able to go back into his sword whenever Shin wants to
Abilities:
Kouen Kakuheki (Flame Barrier Wall)- Using this techinique creates a wall/shield made out of fire. The wall is 15x10, just enough to cover him and another person.

Amatsu Sutoringusu (Heavenly Strings)- The user creates several bright beams or fire and shoots them at the enemy. A halo of bright energy spreads from his lance as this technique is activated. The beams are able to alter their direction after being shot, making it possible to strike multiple enemies with pinpoint accuracy, even bypassing hostages held in close proximity. The user can increase the number of missiles to a great amount to pin down an enemy. The downside to this attack is that it is quantitative of qualitative, meaning that though the strings are quick and , by itself, it is not very strong, which is why Shin produces so many
Kokuhyou (Damnation)- In order to use this attack, the user needs to gather a whole lot of reiastu to use. When gathered, the lances start to glow and are magnetized together, making them impossible to pull apart. Then the lances start to shine, then release a yellow and red blast, a blast large enough to destroy a building or a small town, only lasting a few seconds though. The only way to defend from this attack is to either have a strong enough shield, something that could cover the entire blast or have a very durable physical strength, but would still have serious damage to their person. This is Shin's ultimate go to move, since it usually drains him of more than half his energy
