General Personality: Nanabi is known to be a tomboy, a total bro, and a lover of excitement, adrenaline, good friends and good food. She's energetic yet laid-back, badass yet careful, stubborn yet selfless and caring for her friends and teammates. She normally isn't one to back down from a challenge in combat, but she knows her limits and is willing to say no if she feels it's necessary. Outside of travel and battle, she's pretty chill and care-free most of the time and likes to socialize with others when she has the chance, often being a flirt with some guys that she likes. When it comes to combat, she's a wisecracking, fast-acting, fun-loving, blitzkrieging rebel of a fighter, never without a witty taunt or comeback.
History: A life is filled with stories. What’s your characters story? What events or actions have brought them to where they are now?
Born under one of the lesser high families in the Seireitei, Nanabi was the youngest out of three children and was the favorite out of the bunch. Not that she cared about that back then, she was just glad she could make people laugh with her antics. She was an energetic little sport, always running around and playing with everyone while also trying to help whenever she could. Though she was a really nice kid, she didn't have that many friends to hang out with aside from her siblings, so she had to resort to just going on short misadventures around the Seireitei to pass the time.
As she grew older, the parents started to notice her Reiatsu started to grow and expand at an exponential rate, and so she had started to get into sword training so she could defend herself. As she became stronger with her fighting skills, she started to get a good feel of the way people felt when fighting and she enjoyed the rush it gave her. She started wanting to take her training to the next level. She wanted to fight for real. Thus, she started training in different fighting styles so she could have a lot more variety in her battling motif. After some time passed, she decided to experiment with a custom fighting style that implored dance moves to strengthen the speed, precision and striking potential of her attacks. She combined breakdancing with Kenpo and Karate, calling it Odoruken, the Art of the Dancing Fist.
As her training continued, everyone noticed by now how strong her Reiatsu had become. It just got stronger and stronger at a fast rate. Too strong, in fact, that she had a hard time getting tired after a long fight and she even started to unintentionally break furniture and other things around the home because her spiritual pressure was becoming immensely unstable. So, the family made the decision to send her to the Gotei 13 so she can join their ranks and become a worthy Shinigami. She was pretty overqualified, as it didn't take her long before she got high regards as one of the strongest recruits they've come across, albeit the most unstable in terms of spiritual pressure. Her seemingly unorthodox fighting style gave her an edge in combat against other shinigami, and her skills with a sword are well-renowned by many of the recruits.
So, when she was given her Asauchi, her Reiatsu immediately flooded her blade and it shook so much that they feared it was going to break, before the weapon immediately imploded in a shock of spiritual energy and began it's metamorphosis into a proper Zanpakutou.
She was now in possession of a new blade she can use in combat. And with it came a new level of adrenaline she's able to access. She first started her work in Squad 7 under the guidance of Sajin Komamura, who quickly took a liking to her attitude and willingness to help out the team. He was also astonished in her already manifesting a complete Zanpakutou so quickly, and he later began to work with her to help unlock her potential with her weapon.
It was at this moment that he quickly figured out just how powerful her spiritual pressure was, as he had a hard time trying to keep track of her control over her energy simply because of how unpredictable it was. One moment, she was producing Kido spells at an immense level, the other it would just blow up in her face. They soon began to practice trying to establish a connection with their Zanpakutou, either through concentrated meditation or just channeling it's energy through them. While the meditation didn't quite work out so well, the channeling exercise worked out beautifully as she was able to access her Inner World, the place where she can meet her Zanpakutou Spirit.
This world was a vast plane of metal and plastic, machines working to clean the area while mechanical beasts work to eat it for sustenance with many towers in the area watching it all overhead. This place was awesome to her, like a hodgepodge of different materials she could use to build training dummies for. It wasn't long until she came across her spirit, confidently commanding the beasts to lead the warrior to her. She herself was a metallic being like the beasts, but she clearly gave the impression that she was the alpha of the pack before her. She recognized just how much of a power source her wielder was, how unstable her energy really is, and opted to give her an outlet to concentrate that power into something destructive that she can use to defend her allies. With their agreement, she was given the name of her blade, and she released it for the first time.
"Turn up the heat! Akarainu!"
Back in the training grounds, she held onto her blade as it transformed, becoming much larger and more mechanical in appearance. Sajin was taken aback by the power that she had released, seeing more of how unhinged her power could be just from the release alone. It was there that he decided to test her strength by releasing his own Zanpakutou, Tenken, and fighting her head-on. That would prove to be a serious mistake, as she listened to her spirit as an instructor on how to utilize her new weapon. By pulling the lever, she revved up her sword and energized a swift-moving aura of chain blades that surged on the edges of her Zanpakutou. With a single harsh slash, her chainsaw blade shredded furiously at the arm of the Tenken avatar, viscously tearing it apart.
Astounded by the raw power of her concentrated Reiatsu and starting to fear just how far she has the potential to go at this rate, Sajin decided that the best way she can fully realize her potential with this power was among other people with her kind of strength.
She didn't seem to mind. After all, she was really enjoying the adrenaline rush of using her power. Taking more time to fully understand what her powers can do, she went to take off the kiddie gloves and move onto another Division, thanking the Captain for helping her reach her new level of strength. From here came a more interesting era for her as she was transferred to the 11th Division, under the watchful eye of Kenpachi Zaraki.
And right off the bat, as soon as he got a read of her Reiatsu, he couldn't help but smile. This one was strong, really strong. She could prove to be an interesting opponent should they cross blades, but for now, she needed to settle in. Many of the men around the Division read her spiritual pressure and grew to respect her strength despite her normal size. When the time came for her to show off her abilities, the warriors around her began to face her one-by-one. And immediately after releasing her blade, at least half of them grew weary of their position against her. Those who fought her eventually got shredded by the sword's unstable energy, though she refused to kill them simply because none of them deserve to die. They have a purpose in the Gotei, and she kinda liked them.
Though, she still didn't feel like she's strong enough. If she wants to be a member of this Division, she wanted to overachieve as a fighter. She wanted to achieve Bankai status, and she knew it was going to be pretty difficult to achieve it. So, she did what she always did. Train! The next part of her lessons were learning how to properly work with Kido spells, which she seemed to do okay with at first... if the spells didn't blow up in her face first due to how unpredictable her spiritual energy was. So, to help her get some control with her abilities, she gets the help of Momo Hinamori to refine her focus on channeling her Reiatsu in the best way she can. This took several weeks of trial and error until she eventually got the hang of limiting her energy output as best she could, solidifying her Kido spells to give her an edge in combat. She went with mostly defensive spells instead of offensive, since most of her damage is going to be up close and personal.
With her combat prowess and Kido down, she wonders what else she needed to do. Well, there was only one thing to do now, and that was to practice with her weapon as much as possible.
Nanabi went on to focus making her attacks and combat movements as fast as she could get them, working on trying to learn how to fully utilize Shunpo. She was already incredible fit and energetic, but she needed more skills if she wants to get high up in the Squad. The girl worked hard for the next few months trying to get her Flash Step refined to suit her movement patterns, failing more often than not until she got the muscle memory down for how the process was done. With enough time, she had the skill down enough to make her a much more impeding threat in the battlefield.
She felt more and more alive the stronger and faster she had become, giving her the potential to be one of the best in the Squad if she did enough work. As a boost to her status within the Squad, Kenpachi acknowledged her immense power and promoted her to 4th Seat in his band. With a new level of power under her belt, she made an oath to herself not to get overconfident with anything in combat, as even she is vulnerable to her own hubris at times. She's gotten up in the world, and though she has potential to even further in her Squad, she personally decides to stay 4th seat.
Life was hers to live, and she wanted to live it her way.
Faction: Gotei 13, Squad 11
Rank: 4th Seat
Physical Abilities/Power:
Immense Unstable Reiatsu > Since childhood, her Reiatsu has been growing stronger and stronger and it's gotten to the point where it's become powerful enough that it's become highly unstable and hard to control. Though it's incredibly destructive if left unchecked, she's grown to learn how to control it to a degree, but still has a bit of trouble restraining it once in a while. While it used to destroy parts of buildings accidentally, she reduced that to simple dents in metal and cracks in other solid surfaces.
Peak Gymnastics / Advanced Shunpo > Her training and physical maintenance has given her the agility, flexibility, strength and speed of a competitive athlete, making her a nimble and swift parkour runner and pro gymnast. She also focused on Shunpo to aid her in moving swiftly through the battlefield, making her difficult to get a hit on at close and long range combat. Her physical fitness is inspiring to most members of the Gotei 13, making her one of the most agile fighters in Squad 11.
Advanced Combat Prowess > She's highly trained in close combat, being skilled in Karate, Judo and Kung-Fu. With these skills making her a highly dangerous hand-to-hand fighter, she also practices her own slightly unorthodox fighting style, called Odoruken, the Art of the Dancing Fist. This fighting style mixes breakdancing with combat techniques that encourage swift, impactful blows that's meant to severely damage both the internal and external parts of the body, overwhelming the enemy with both painful bruises and internal damage like broken bones and the like while making her look badass while doing it.
Advanced Swordsmanship > She practiced how to use her sword since childhood, giving her excellent experience in Kendo and Kenjutsu. Her striking precision might not be as precise as others, but the fast and brutal force in the strikes makes her a deadly combatant to fight against, especially when she wields her released Zanpakutou.

Bakudo:
Hado:
Zanpakuto: The Shinigami’s most trusted tool. A Zanpakuto is closely interlinked with the personality and soul of it’s wielder. All Zanpakuto’s have a spirit, a name, and a sealed form. Include here the name of your Zanpakuto as well as a detailed description of it’s sealed form and spirit. Visual references are certainly suggested.
Sealed Form: The name of her Zanpakutou is Akarainu (Redline). It's sealed form is a katana that has a red handle with a silver guard that resembles a ring with spikes pointing towards the outside of the ring, resembling a speed gauge for a racecar. The sheath is also red with three gold stripes on certain parts.
Zanpakutou Spirit: Akarainu takes the form of a seemingly fully mechanical being, a black and red automaton plated with white armor and exhausting black smoke from her body slightly. Her lower body can shift from a serpentine lower half and a humanoid lower half depending on the situation, and she has what appears to me eight flexible tendrils protruding from her back. Her hair takes the form of concentrated black smoke that gets exhausted from the top and back of her head.
Inner World: Her world is pretty much just one large junkyard valley, accompanied by large machines that constantly clean up the area as well as a colony of mechanical beasts that watch over the land and feed on various types of metal. There are also large towers that act as both living quarters and battle arenas for training and amusement.
Shikai: Once a Shinigami learn’s the name of their Zanpakuto, a secondary stage of their weapon is unlocked. Nearly every Shinigami has achieved the Shikai stage of their Zanpakuto. Shikai is released by a phrase, which could be as short as a couple words or as long as a poem, which relate directly to the nature of their wielders spirit and abilities. In detail, provide the release phrase of your Zanpakuto as well as a description of its appearance at this stage and any abilities that it possesses after release. Visual references are suggested.
The release command for the Zanpakutou is "Turn up the heat, Akarainu!"
The blade expands and morphs into a large greatsword that has an interconnected engine-like guard that's connected to her Reiatsu. The blade is curved and is silver in color and has red accents around it. The engine guard has angled crevices' that allowed the blade to exhaust Reiatsu in the form of concentrated fire that can cause strong burns to those who get too close to them, as well as the guard having a bike trigger by the handle that ties into the abilities of the blade.
Shikai Abilities:
Rippusō no kanetsu (Overheating Ripsaw) > Nanabi's weapon is essentially a hybrid between a large buster sword and an energy chainsaw. By pulling the bike brake beside her handle, she can rev up the weapon like an engine and energize rapidly moving blades made out of unstable Reiatsu that rides upon the edge of her blade. With this, the blade is given the power to rip and shred apart it's targets in a brutal fashion, also being able to cut into most Reiatsu-based barriers and armor. As she revs up her weapon more and more, be it slowly as she fights or quickly with her sword's abilities, the energy of the sawblade and exhaust glows darker and redder in color (White, pink, salmon, scarlet, crimson, vermillion) and her shredding abilities become much faster and stronger. She's able to invoke certain abilities with her weapon by saying specific commands as she revs up her weapon.
"Rev it up, Akarainu!" > She can use this ability to accelerate the growth of her Zanpakutou's energy output, hastily making her exhaust and energy blades strong, faster and more red in color.
"Shred 'em, Akarainu!" > This is an ability that allows her to exhaust a few shots of her unstable Reiatsu, launching concentrated shrapnel bursts of energy from the blade to shred her opponents from a distance. This ability gets a wider range and becomes deadlier the more revved up her weapon is.
"Chop 'em, Akarainu!" > This allows the energy blades to be compressed into a single saber slash that can be devastating to any enemy caught in the attack. The more the Zanpakutou is revved up, the larger, sharper and stronger this attack becomes.
Bankai: (Not Achieved yet. Will be obtained over the course of the roleplay.)
The name of her Bankai is Kyobona Ijodoraibu (Overdrive in Berserk). It takes the form of a red, white and black athletic combat suit sporting a robotic biker vibe, having a very clean aerodynamic shape. The suit has many exhaust ports on her shoulders, lower arms and lower legs, and can be fully rotated around at 360*, letting her control the direction her exhaust is facing. It has these 4 disks that levitate close by her ankles and wrists, spinning at her command. It's this form where her Reiatsu is at it's most unleashed and destructive, yet it's most concentrated and focused at the same time.
Bankai Abilities:
Shōgeki no iji (Impact Sustenance) > Her body's skeletal and muscular structure is altered in a way that makes her more durable to impact damage. Her skeleton and muscles feel more firm and resistant to breaking or tearing apart due to crashing or being smashed by large or blunt objects. This makes her more likely to survive possibly crashing due to losing some control over her unstable abilities.
Kasoku suru (Accelerate) > She can use her Reiatsu exhaust ports to aid her in her speed. By directing the ports in certain directions, she has the power to propel parts of herself forward, backward or somewhere in between to aid in her maneuverability or attack capabilities. She can also use this offensively to either repel the enemy away from her or cause immense burn damage should she be very close to the enemy.
Nokogiri kanetsu (Overheating Jigsaw) > Her disks have the same mechanic as her energy chainsaw from the previous form, though it doesn't need to be revved up to initiate the energy blades to appear on them. The blades can be summoned around the disks' edge, turning them into deadly sawblades that can rotate at an immense speed and can shred through most objects, cutting deeply into most Reishi-based barriers and armor. She can also position them in front of her feet or hands to use them as highly durable shields during combat. The disks themselves can also be used to enhance her maneuverability, as well as be launched towards enemies as a ricocheting projectile attack with all of them able to be called back at will, making her a far deadlier threat in both close and long range combat.
