Name: Ria Fuuyumine
Gender: Girl
Race:Shinigami
Canon/OC: OC
Physical Description: She stands 5'4 and weighs a mere 127lbs. Her crimson hair is quite short and stylishly cut in a bob style. Her face is round, showing off thin eyes brows and long full eyelashes. Her strongest qualities being her beauty mark, and her stunning dark crimson eyes. Her skin is on the fairer side, soft, and well taken care of. Her body is on the slender side, sporting flexible, lean muscles. In terms of build, her bust on the average side but still showing off toned legs, and a round posterior. Her fingers are long and nimble, and her nails are usually done in a coffin style. Her appearance is pristine and unblemished like that of a model.
Clothing/Misc. Items: Instead of a shinigami's robes, she dons her lab gear. A black coat, white blouse, stockings under a pair of shorts and sandals. Depending on the weather she may wear a white overcoat. Her horn shaped hair clips, act as a recording devise that she turns in to her captain at the end of every mission.
Sexuality: Bi
Goals: Ria is a rather wayward creature of intrigue whose goals only coincide with what interests her at the moment. At one point she wished to learn about combat, placing herself in the rowdiest and most physical squad, while now placing herself in squad 12 as research and investigation seemed a bit more fitting to her personality.
General Personality: Though a woman with a cheery and relatively warm disposition, she can be quite cold, calculating and even cruel. There is somewhat of a child's wonder about her, that literally forces her to follow whichever path is most interesting, whether one or many. Her internal compass is her best friend, and while it might often get her in trouble, she never finds herself bored. In the past, it proved to be a hindrance, and a gift, causing her to be a true student when wowed, or almost sloth-like if uninspired. To those deemed interesting she is quite affectionate towards, and even towards strangers, she gets uncomfortably close. Those used to her just understand that is just how she is, while others find her overwhelmingly analyzing nature to be unnerving and weird. She finds her Captain's personality to be gross despite being relatively in the same semblance. As many people who are too alike can't stand each other, they can both be wooed in unison at the sight of the unknown and mysterious. Despite such a sharp dislike, and bare minimum respect for his character, she can acknowledge that he is the only person at the moment who can prove a worthy mentor at the time, just as when she realized how incredibly combat was the only one fit to teach her were the likes of Kenpachi and his extremely physical squad. Though never meeting Kisuke Uruhara, and only having brief interactions with Aizen, she romanticizes them both equally as geniuses ahead of their time; true testers of the laws of nature and expected. She practically fangirls in the sight of arrancar, vizards, quincy and even full bringers. She is completely void of things like worry, embarrassment, and even fear.
History:
Faction:Gotei 13, former 11th division Unseated
Rank:Squad 12, 3rd seat
Physical Abilities/Power:
Learning Curve / Prodigy Tactician - She can often judge many things of a person by glance, and even more when feeling out their spiritual pressure. With such inference skills she can often detail her opponent's attacks and movements even if completely overwhelmed and her body can't keep up. With full knowledge of her own abilities inside and out, she can prove to be a troublesome combatant with a odd bag of tricks, and annoyingly accurate eye for analysis and understanding. Her ideas are flexible and impactful. Within her calculating mind resides the strength of all her past experiences. She will truly be a force to be reckoned with when Roze, her mind and body are all in sync.
Zanjutsu Practitioner- While proficient enough to handle her sealed form zanpakuto with ease, her ability truly shines in use of her shikai. She shows off swift slashes, well-timed parries and Iai techniques with peak form. Her shikai complements her sword skills well, pairing with her battle IQ to not only fend off enemies, but to turn the tides of battles and go in for the kill.
Enhanced Speed - While not an expert with the ability to use shunpo, she is fast enough to be react, and act accordingly. Should she fully read someones movements, she will often choose matching an opponent over constantly tiring herself out trying to overlap their pacing during the whole exchange. She is all about efficiency and prefers to move in ways that preserve the most amount of energy as possible.
Side Effect & Body Modification- Via Mayuri Kurotsuchi's prodding and experimentation, Ria feels painful pricking sensations whenever there are heavy negative emotions are directed at her such as disdain, or murderous intent. This was done as a shock-collar like method of training Ria to be a much more obedient subordinate. She can detect reiatsu in different colors with a specialty contact lens she devised.. Red obviously is the biggest "normal" threat, while greens and blues are more mild. Black means a disaster-level threat, and clear aura means there is a level of something her senses can't comprehend..
Bare Minimum Kido User & Experimentation - As it has never truly interested her, she only became proficient enough in the arts, to pass the academy. While a natural, like in most things, the fews spells she can perform her favorite spells, can be done with ease and without incantation, she does not carry a deep pocket of spells, like other shinigami. To kill the need of learning newer spells, she experiments with her favorite spells.
Kido:
Zanjutsu
Zanjutsu : Mirror Slash - A backhanded swing at her own blind spot behind her. She can perform this defensively and offensively. With enough force to halt an enemy's swing, she can quickly turn to conduct her next move, or even reset the flow of of the sword exchange by creating some distance.
Zanjutsu : Iai - From the sheath to an enemy's soon to be corpse and back sheathed again. An old japanese practice emphasizing speed, control and accuracy over overwhelming power and brute force. Ria conducts this attack well, and includes it in usage of her unsealed blade. She has become efficient enough to include lunges, pre-meditated strikes and leg sweeps into her Iai.
Zanjutsu : Iai Absolute Hunt - A more defensive Iaido technique in which, Ria will crouch down, and heighten her spiritual awareness, to provide a certain sensitive air around herself. Should someone interrupt this air, she will quickly draw to halt or stagger enemy movement, and with a second step hunt down the impeding presence with a secondary draw to cut down her foe. This is a double-time movement utilizing shunpo, to react upon inhale, and act upon exhale.
Hakuda
Hakuda : Snake Bite - While in combat, Ria will grip or strike during the gap in an opponent's movement, preferably aiming for a pressure point. As she does this reiatsu will hiss around her hand, mimicking a snake. Usually used as an effective take down progression, it's striking power is great, causing a numbing sensation to the targeted location. Often times she will do this to not only strike but to get good feeling of their muscles as well.
Hakuda : HELLO/You're quite interesting.(Body Analysis) - While extremely affectionate to those she finds interesting, many of the specimens are found on the battlefield. Raising both her reiatsu and her spiritual awareness, she will very literally feel up her opponent's muscles, feeling their muscles mass and inspecting their spiritual pressure. While not a viable tactic or even physical attack in combat, it leaves most prospects feeling violated and extremely uncomfortable.
Hado
Hado #1 Sho
Sho: Cobra- With a pronged set of fingers, she will set a sho spell so tiny and condensed that it presents a sharp edge. When fired off at a short to medium distance, the effect placed is a vicious two fanged stab wound.
Sho Step- A makeshift boost given to ones feet by ejecting the pulse of kinetic force.
Hado #32 Okasen
Hado # 91 Senju Koten Taiho
Bakudo
Bakudo #21 Sekienton
Bakudo #26 Kyokko
Bakudo #62 Hyapporankan
Hybrid
Hakuda: Boa - Another snake clutch move, utilizing Bakudo 1 to constrict enemy movement. The major difference is all the spell power is condensed to one person and one body part at that.
Sho "Cannon" // "Thorn"- A Zanjutsu based move focused upon the tip of her released blade. With a gross amount of power condensed into one point, she will thrust her sword at an enemy from a distance, and exert a tank shell like force on them, but only in an instant. This move can easily bore through walls and sheilds. It's meant for penetration through defense, but can be used as a harsh knockdown if it lands on a victim.
Shunpo
Zanpakuto: Senkai Roze (Orbiting Rose)
A peculiar zanpakuto shaped in the form of a two pronged blade, boasting an edge on both sides, that slowly taper more inward towards the very tip. It resides in a cloth casing strapped to Ria's forearm under her sleeve for quick and efficient drawing at the wrist. The dagger itself is only a foot, with a bare handle, and a t shape gaurd. The weapon is perfectly symmetrical in every way. Roze's appearance is always one talked about especially since most zanpakuto seal themselves uniformly in a japanese style katana, and weirdly enough it's true appearance is such. While appearing to be a bland melee type weapon, it's use is actually a kido-type.
Roze's inner world is that of a botanical garden, chronically growing and changing under a infinitely wide and unmoving ,starry, night sky. In the middle of this garden a children's doll in a floral kimono, frolics and plays. This doll is a tattered being, wrapped tightly in bandages, with flowers blooming out it's wounds. Though small, a deep booming voice emits from that peculiar body. That is Roze, and this strange dimension, his palace. When first attempting Jinzen, Ria spent many days simply trying to find the spirit in the mass of vines, leaves and color. The spirit is extremely playful and carefree. Despite how free the Spirit seems, he is reluctant to let the shinigami delve any further for bankai, limiting her with a shikai form with difficult abilities. She holds a bit of a grudge with her zanpakuto as it was like this when trying to learn his name as well. Roze constantly is looking for the Shinigami to prove herself.
Shikai: "Discover, Senkai Roze" Upon calling his name, Ria will send the sword in the sky, and dropping down to replace it's irregular sealed form is an extremely regular, unsealed counterpart. This guardless, wakizashi, with absolutely no designs or defects from what the personal weapon was intended for. Roze's ability manifest light constructs to be used as blades to be used in peculiar applications.
Odori no Ryouran (Dance of the Profusely Blooming)
From the bottom of the hilt a rose made of a soft pink light will bloom, it's petals stretching into ribbons. These ribbons, slowly wind and flail until given programmable commands. These ribbons are re-loadable slashes with eight in total. After use they will dissipate and dissolve. While a simple technique, it's power lies with Ria's strategy. These slashes can only follow the course of the Shinigami's eyesight, the tip of her sword or fingers. (Ex: If she were to quickly scan from someone's feet and upward towards left, one ribbon would swing in the same projected path aiming to slash at an enemy's torso and left shoulder) These ribbons can also be laid flat along surfaces, like traps. Though the wakizashi's length is short, the ribbons can reach as far as 10 meters. If all ribbons have been fired, she must sheath her sword and wait a few seconds before reloading. While a strong offense, it's poorly balanced for defending as these slashes aren't permanent. Much like rose petals, these ribbons are quite fragile, and thin.
Odori no Toge Sezai (Dance of the Thorn Constellation)
The secondary ability of Roze, Ria can only activate and deactivate with the sheathing and unsheathing of her wakizashi. With this rule, it makes use of both abilities at the same time impossible. As she unsheathes her sword, a light constructed rose will bloom where the guard should be. Dispensing her reiatsu, Ria can create 3 spinning ring-like vines around her body, each with over sized thorns protruding in multiple directions. These vines will spin and rotate on axis, making these thorns orbit her body in various ways. These orbits can be reduced, expanded, change inclination/direction and even sped up. While both abilities focus on control and planning, this one is even more mentally testing as it requires a much higher understanding of positioning and placement. As the center of the orbit, her movement is restricted to how far she expands the orbit, which can only reach about 10 meters max. While Roze's first dance is designated for offense only, this ability is a much more hard to wield dual option for both attacking and defending. Like a conductor's baton, the changes to the vines' movements are all controlled by her Wakizashi. Just as it's reach has limitations, it's endurance has limitations causing the vines to slow down and become less controllable over time. In the same way she has to reload her First Odori's ribbons, this Odori requires a recharging period.(sheathing it for a few seconds)

History:
While she remembers very little about her life in the living world, Ria knew of her name and her love of knowledge of many things. While these things were kept near and dear to her heart, her life as a soul was a relatively average one, until she witnessed the beast that is Kenpachi Zaraki. A tall man, tan with untamed hair, tearing through his opponents in tattered robes, wielding a jagged sword. This was a shinigami, and a fine specimen to model herself after. She needed his name, his squad information, EVERYTHING. As a naturally strong soul, getting into Shin'o Academy was not too much trouble. Upon entrance, her interest had only lied in Zanjutsu and Kendo, causing her other grades to leave room for improvement. She spent a few years bumbling about books and classes, 'squandering all that natural talent,' in the words of her Professors. Many things early in her career as a student were a blur. Ria in all honestly had just been going on with the motions, mostly keeping her grades at the bare minimum or standard.
The only times she actually held much presence in class was when sparring was permitted, mimicking the one who peaked her interest to become a shinigami in the first place. This proved especially so when the man of the hour showed up for a Kendo demonstration. Going overboard as per usual, the Captain's swings knocked down one wall after the other. Upon watching, She was realized that such things could only be gained through true experiences, and not just watching. So when her turn to spar came up, she was absolutely ruthless in proving a point. Zaraki smirked, as all chosen pupils behind him were male. She was the only woman showing enough fire to gain a spot behind the Captain's back. Once graduated and in squad 11, sparring became a way of life. While there were many specimens of interest at first, the main course was almost never to be seen.
Kenpachi's squad was a monstrous force whose hakudo and zanjutsu skill were particularly fierce, not by Zaraki's hand but by sheer competitiveness. She could feel herself wanting a bit more to her life than just punches and sword swings. Upon that realization, Ria could feel herself growing bored. The man she chased after was only a husk when not in battle, boring...bland...and by all means uninteresting when left unprovoked. As this second realization, she found her placement in her surroundings even more pointless and uninspiring. What she came for was fire, and from what she could tell the only way the Zaraki she fell for would come back is if that Ichigo character had returned, or war had broken out. The people still remaining as obsessed were Yachiru and the rest of the squad, leaving Ria as the odd woman out. She reached a point, where all the fun was gone, and waiting just wasn't enough. It was one day, as Ikkaku had gotten into a tussle with their fellow squamates. Ria could only stifle a yawn. Scanning her surroundings for anything more interesting to look upon, as her surroundings grew more monotonous with each passing day, she felt an eerie presence incoming.
"Disgusting" A passerby voice, excruciatingly judgmental
"GROSS," Her reply vibrantly showing signs of being of the same ilk. His voice alone was enough to make her react.
She turned only to see an odd white-skinned man with flamboyant features, equipped with a discerning eye and a mutable assistant. Nemu's friendly wave was extravagantly outshined by the enigmatic sun that was Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
"Do you speak of me, or the den of dogs you currently lie in?" He spoke, finger whirring next to his temple. "Rummaging around baffoons like these is madness."
"mmm...." She couldn't make eye contact. She was bothered with his outward appearance, and equally annoyed by him having enough arrogance to speak on her current squad. She had an idea of who he was, the successor to Kisuke Uruhara after all. Nemu's wave still going unnoticed, Mayuri continued on.
"You may physically match up with these monkeys, but what about your intellect? Perhaps an 'Einstein' such as yourself would be more suited to the squad known for research and development. NEMU quit standing around like a dolt. Maybe this bored girl would like a newspaper or something." A gold toothy grin dawned his face as he palmed his Lieutenant's head, his 'daughter reaching into his robes and presenting the young girl with a current report of irregular hollows showing up.
Silently reading, she could hear the man's voice begin. He spoke of an object called the Hogyoku, and Captains disappearing left and right. He discussed the lines between the multiple beings, becoming blurred, and that only those in squad 12 were pertinent to such information earlier than all others. Ria's eyes couldn't help but light up when graced with even the briefest of explanations. She knew there was much more to what the shinigami had been saying, and that many more reports like this probably existed.
"I should fill you belly with worms, HONESTLY I've said too much...Why did I even bother explaining?... While you look like the intellectual type, looks can be deceiving. Are you an Einstein or ape, missy?" He began trying to provoke the girl, Nemu now shaking her head. Ria couldn't comprehend the arrogance and sense of superiority, Mayuri was unable to understand why a girl so far beneath him couldn't seem to accept her place. Her eyes were fiery and defiant, his bright, and cavalier.
"....GROSS" "DISGUSTING" The two spoke simultaneously.
She shuddered. While every fiber in her being was telling her to stay away from this man of mystery, he was just that, a mystery. She couldn't help but find him invitingly interesting, just in the same way he couldn't keep his horrid mouth shut when noticing her sticking out from her squad like a sore thumb.
"As I need no introduction, I must know you name. Such a thing, may come across my paperwork, should you choose to join my squad. In fact, you will join my squad. My genius tells me so." The grin seized, as his hand graced his Zanpakuto. Not knowing his true intentions, was possibly the grossest part about him. She could read most people, and yet this guy eluded her. Her right fixated on her left wrist, slowly reaching for the blade hiding in her sleeve. "Ria Fuuyumine..." The situation grew only more peculiar the more she began thinking about it. Amongst all this commotion, he just so happened to be passing by? Was this some sort of fate? Eye brows raised, the scientist would show that golden grip once more before completely vanishing in a shunpo's step.
A few years passed by before Mayuri's prediction proved true. Ria found herself in a peculiar squad, led by a peculiar man. There was actually plenty to like about the transfer. The lab, the access, the freedom to dress how she pleased,.....many many things to like except for HIM. The two butted heads often, causing her to stand out immensely from the rest of his worker bees. The friction growing so great, Nemu often would be forced to play messenger between the two. While fully game for someone to challenge him, it was fun at first, but tiresome when the newbie still hadn't confirmed. A plan hatched, almost received like one would an epiphany.
"I remember you were from a rowdy bunch, perhaps violence might be the only way to show just how much greater i am, as a combatant and scientist." He drew his blade, to bait the girl. Naively, the woman obliged, drawing her own. She flashed forward, and met with an immediate smack in the face with a strange powder. Marked by the Captain's cackle, the shinigami collapsed out. He would repeat this bait and switch process once every few months with various fluids and powder until finally her outward aversion to him ceased. From that point on, all Mayuri had to do was present his usual disdain for her to keep the girl in line.

Hakuda : Snake Bite - While in combat, Ria will grip or strike during the gap in an opponent's movement, preferably aiming for a pressure point. As she does this reiatsu will hiss around her hand, mimicking a snake. Usually used as an effective take down progression, it's striking power is great, causing a numbing sensation to the targeted location. Often times she will do this to not only strike but to get good feeling of their muscles as well.
Hakuda : HELLO/You're quite interesting.(Body Analysis) - While extremely affectionate to those she finds interesting, many of the specimens are found on the battlefield. Raising both her reiatsu and her spiritual awareness, she will very literally feel up her opponent's muscles, feeling their muscles mass and inspecting their spiritual pressure. While not a viable tactic or even physical attack in combat, it leaves most prospects feeling violated and extremely uncomfortable.
Hado
Hado #1 Sho
Sho: Cobra- With a pronged set of fingers, she will set a sho spell so tiny and condensed that it presents a sharp edge. When fired off at a short to medium distance, the effect placed is a vicious two fanged stab wound.
Sho Step- A makeshift boost given to ones feet by ejecting the pulse of kinetic force.
Hado #32 Okasen
Hado # 91 Senju Koten Taiho
Bakudo
Bakudo #21 Sekienton
Bakudo #26 Kyokko
Bakudo #62 Hyapporankan
Hybrid
Hakuda: Boa - Another snake clutch move, utilizing Bakudo 1 to constrict enemy movement. The major difference is all the spell power is condensed to one person and one body part at that.
Sho "Cannon" // "Thorn"- A Zanjutsu based move focused upon the tip of her released blade. With a gross amount of power condensed into one point, she will thrust her sword at an enemy from a distance, and exert a tank shell like force on them, but only in an instant. This move can easily bore through walls and sheilds. It's meant for penetration through defense, but can be used as a harsh knockdown if it lands on a victim.
Shunpo
Zanpakuto: Senkai Roze (Orbiting Rose)
A peculiar zanpakuto shaped in the form of a two pronged blade, boasting an edge on both sides, that slowly taper more inward towards the very tip. It resides in a cloth casing strapped to Ria's forearm under her sleeve for quick and efficient drawing at the wrist. The dagger itself is only a foot, with a bare handle, and a t shape gaurd. The weapon is perfectly symmetrical in every way. Roze's appearance is always one talked about especially since most zanpakuto seal themselves uniformly in a japanese style katana, and weirdly enough it's true appearance is such. While appearing to be a bland melee type weapon, it's use is actually a kido-type.
Roze's inner world is that of a botanical garden, chronically growing and changing under a infinitely wide and unmoving ,starry, night sky. In the middle of this garden a children's doll in a floral kimono, frolics and plays. This doll is a tattered being, wrapped tightly in bandages, with flowers blooming out it's wounds. Though small, a deep booming voice emits from that peculiar body. That is Roze, and this strange dimension, his palace. When first attempting Jinzen, Ria spent many days simply trying to find the spirit in the mass of vines, leaves and color. The spirit is extremely playful and carefree. Despite how free the Spirit seems, he is reluctant to let the shinigami delve any further for bankai, limiting her with a shikai form with difficult abilities. She holds a bit of a grudge with her zanpakuto as it was like this when trying to learn his name as well. Roze constantly is looking for the Shinigami to prove herself.
Shikai: "Discover, Senkai Roze" Upon calling his name, Ria will send the sword in the sky, and dropping down to replace it's irregular sealed form is an extremely regular, unsealed counterpart. This guardless, wakizashi, with absolutely no designs or defects from what the personal weapon was intended for. Roze's ability manifest light constructs to be used as blades to be used in peculiar applications.
Odori no Ryouran (Dance of the Profusely Blooming)
From the bottom of the hilt a rose made of a soft pink light will bloom, it's petals stretching into ribbons. These ribbons, slowly wind and flail until given programmable commands. These ribbons are re-loadable slashes with eight in total. After use they will dissipate and dissolve. While a simple technique, it's power lies with Ria's strategy. These slashes can only follow the course of the Shinigami's eyesight, the tip of her sword or fingers. (Ex: If she were to quickly scan from someone's feet and upward towards left, one ribbon would swing in the same projected path aiming to slash at an enemy's torso and left shoulder) These ribbons can also be laid flat along surfaces, like traps. Though the wakizashi's length is short, the ribbons can reach as far as 10 meters. If all ribbons have been fired, she must sheath her sword and wait a few seconds before reloading. While a strong offense, it's poorly balanced for defending as these slashes aren't permanent. Much like rose petals, these ribbons are quite fragile, and thin.
Odori no Toge Sezai (Dance of the Thorn Constellation)
The secondary ability of Roze, Ria can only activate and deactivate with the sheathing and unsheathing of her wakizashi. With this rule, it makes use of both abilities at the same time impossible. As she unsheathes her sword, a light constructed rose will bloom where the guard should be. Dispensing her reiatsu, Ria can create 3 spinning ring-like vines around her body, each with over sized thorns protruding in multiple directions. These vines will spin and rotate on axis, making these thorns orbit her body in various ways. These orbits can be reduced, expanded, change inclination/direction and even sped up. While both abilities focus on control and planning, this one is even more mentally testing as it requires a much higher understanding of positioning and placement. As the center of the orbit, her movement is restricted to how far she expands the orbit, which can only reach about 10 meters max. While Roze's first dance is designated for offense only, this ability is a much more hard to wield dual option for both attacking and defending. Like a conductor's baton, the changes to the vines' movements are all controlled by her Wakizashi. Just as it's reach has limitations, it's endurance has limitations causing the vines to slow down and become less controllable over time. In the same way she has to reload her First Odori's ribbons, this Odori requires a recharging period.(sheathing it for a few seconds)
