Name:
Sin
Formerly known asMasamune Shigyou or The Sword God
Gender: Guy
Race: Shinigami
Canon/OC: OC
Visual Appearance:
Physical Description: Long girly eyelashes decorated his pale almost pearl blue eyes. Like his grandfather Busuna Shigyou, he's a tattered-looking individual. His skin is pale, almost white, and he looks a bit malnourished. He stands at 5'8 and is very strong despite his thin frame. Old cuts are worn on his body like decoration. All but one. There is a large scar on his forehead that was given to him by Soi Fon. He covers this up and simultaneously tames is large mass of hair with a bandana.
Clothing/Misc. Items: Sin wears a more typical shinigami robe, but with a large floral overcoat that he'll have on his shoulders or directly covering his head. It provides nice shade, but also keeps people from seeing the features of his face.
Sexuality: Hetero
Goals: To enjoy his freedom, and to look out for those aligned with him.
General Personality:
Sin is a peaceful person who keeps a distinct youth about him. He is easygoing and peace-loving, a reliable person to have around. He keeps people's spirits high with his almost therapeutic level of thoughtfulness. This isn't all bubblegum and gumdrops, he's got a serious streak for violence and killing if an enemy can flip his switch. Perhaps it was a trauma response to adhere to "improved behavior" but Sin is able to keep a lid on his murderous intent and wishes. He at one point was very literally just a mindless killer who was bringing great infamy to his clan name. While nobody was complaining, this bloodlust led him down some dark dark paths and it landed him on this pathway to redemption. He once held honor in the fact the he was "the sword god", but now he's at a point where he's a bit glad his name was erased from most books and articles. To be the crossway between a legend and nobody seems to be his sweet spot. Outside of combat, he diligently studies whatever books or scrolls are put in front of him, he and maintains a loyal friendship with his new captain.
History:
Inherited Bloodlust
He was a relative of THEE Shigyou. One of the original members of the gotei 13. Masamune would revel in the stories of Busuna No Shigyou, from the quincy extermination, all the way to small skirmishes. The boy wanted to be just like him! He first started his journey in the shinigami academy, where he would steal asauchi swords. He'd often be seen with a wicker basket on his hip with sometimes 10 zanpakuto. They were his trophies, memories of the people he'd beaten fair and square in a sword battle. Of course, he'd be ordered to give them all back, but it was the start of being the sword god. He'd start out on squad 7 like his ancestor, and make a move to squad 2 when he caught word of a certain job. A lot of the details were murky, but all he had to do was kill a few shinigami, and stop people from asking too many questions. He wouldn't question it too much, as it fed his desire for battle and killing. He was promised it was for the betterment of the soul society, but as they all found out... Aizen was not to be trusted.
Well he had gotten exactly what he wanted. For a night of killing, he raised his notoriety as a swordsmen, but in the worst way. Of the few people to point fingers at, Masamune found himself imprisoned for a slew of crimes. Even his crimes from living in the rukongai would be tacked onto his sentence. By Yamamoto's order his name would be erased from all documents. The captain commander knew Busuna personally and saw Masamune as a complete disgrace. He had no right to carry such a name. Whether by joke or by fate, the name that would be given to him would be Sin, The Sword God. The man who never got the chance to challenge a Kenpachi. It was a living hell, but he'd make connections with others and find out about what was going on outside the prison walls.
On the list of crimes, Sin's were:
-Trading high-level information
-Aiding and abetting in a major cover-up.
-Unsanctioned killings of fellow Gotei 13 members and disposal of bodies.
-Omitting valuable information
-Stealing zanpakuto from the deceased
Shigyou the "Sword God"
He'd never admit to what he did... -it was a part of the agreement with Yamamoto. There apparently was SO much turmoil following the hollowfication incident that a lot of squads were scraping by just to fill out their rosters and rearrange things. The first to get out and make some headway was Kamiizumi Reika. She'd put in a word for him, but there needed to be someone else who could give a cosign. Someone with a clean record. As it was presented, the prisoners were to do battle with each other and clash against powerful enemies. The victors would be allowed into the second step. If they passed the preliminary rounds, there would be a captain who would accept them OR, if they were lucky, they'd be able to take the Captains Proficiency test. All that needed to be done was show off ones bankai, something he had achieved ages ago. When his own turn came, Sin decided to use a random sword rather than his own. It'd be too unfair if he had access to his usual powers. Not only did he end his fight in one slash, he'd do it for the next foe as well. Sadly, even with these results, he'd still spend months in detainment. No captain wanted the risk of harboring a traitor. Even with a bankai that put him in the rankings for lieutenant, or captain level, he was still seen as an immense liability. No opportunities would come for the former sword god.
A Feat of Charity
It was a strange request, but it would be the Kido Corps Commander who would gift the former Sword God with some grace. With a new look, and attitude, Sin would take anything he could get. He'd cut off the mounds of hair that was signature to his look, and even show off his new outlook. The only requirement this woman asked of him was to keep up. He was no kido god, but he made short work of the roster before him and attained a second in command position for his proficiency in shielding, barriers, and sealing
Faction:
Gotei 13
Rank:
Former Squad 7
Former Squad 2
Kido Corps - Vice Kido Cheif / Lieutenant Equivalent
Physical Abilities/Power:
Zanjutsu Expert- He was the "sword god" for a reason.
Kido Creation- He's more experienced in the more newer and experimental Kido rather than the tried and true classic spells.
Kido:
Bakudo (all)
Hado #1-31
KuroHitsugi- Unlike the large box that is used to execute people, Sin typically will create smaller boxes to break down an enemy's body.
Tenteikūra Communication Technique
Ripple-A sensory technique where the user allows a small drop of water/reiatsu to fall from their finger. The droplet with land on an invisible surface that ripples over a wide area in a sonar like fashion. Any disturbance in the outreaching ripple can be sensed, and located with ease.
Black Flash- The opposite of a flash grenade. A inky black coloration that washes over the battlefield before dissolving. It's great for changing position or confusing an enemy.
FEAR- This will give the user a background of distorted eyes. These eyes will lock a foe in place temporarily. It's a front-facing move that can hit many but is quite effective on solo targets in a sword exchange. The user has to be careful about how they angle themselves, friendly fire is possible with this spell.
Governing House- A bakudo seal that slams a large torii gate down on an enemy's body. This can be stacked multiple times to cover large targets or to completely deny movement from a downed foe. Sometimes Sin will simply use it as an attack of it's own rather than a sealing spell due to the violent force and shockwave it achieves upon impact. Sufficient resistance can shatter these torii gates, whether blasts of reiatsu, spells, or immense physical power.
Zanpakuto: Akumu
Sword- The sword is a standard zanpakuto with no gaurd, and it's wrapped up in bandages entirely. These bandages are only able to be removed upon shikai or bankai release. They don't impede on the ability to cut... or at least not anymore. Only a certain level of technique can allow cuts with this weapon, and Sin has already reached it.
The world within Sin's zanpakuto is oddly realistic. It is a war torn country full of katana-wielding skeletons. The landscape is covered with katana embedded into the ground. One has to fight their way through a war, just to get themselves to the "promised land" and reach Lady Akumu, though one will likely have to do battle with her as well. This is a temperamental weapon, just because it's been conquered once doesn't mean one has full control over the weapon. One has to trek these war-torn lands several times and beat the final "boss" several times. In the center of the promised land, there is a large traditional Japanese-style castle. It's obscenely quiet and clean despite the hell happening outside of it. The lands and weather around this castle may change, but the castle stays forever the same. It is here where the zanpakuto spirit lives. She leaves the house to do battle and to keep her skills sharp.
Spirit- A 9 foot tall woman who boasts a large zanbato-like branching sword as if were an ordinary katana. Her limbs are incredibly thin and are wrapped in bandages due to her countless battles. Her white hair keeps her face completely covered, making her seem like sort of old bushido folklore... possibly a katana-onna or something like that. She is representative of her wielder, a direct yin creation to balance out her user's yang. With time it becomes clearer that Lady Akumu is the cause of this war. All those skeletons are prior slain souls who've come into contact with her or prior shinigami who died trying to wield her as an asauchi blade. She is an accursed weapon. Only those who can conquer the nightmare can enter that peaceful castle and achieve bankai. She is the sword god of this spiritual world, and the only way to conquer a god is to become one yourself. Because the sword remembers all who it has killed, it also has the benefit of simulating real fights with old foes during meditation. Quite the stressful zanpakuto...
Shikai: Undress, Akumu
Calling on the name of his zanpakuto will reveal a more normal zanpakuto. The wrapping will undress the weapon but cast itself onto the user as a sort of armor. The user is covered in their entirety just like the blade was, and has a crown molded at the head. The crown is just a salute from the zanpakuto to its wielder for not dying. The shikai is the first stage of taming Akumu, and is denoted as the wounded warrior. These wrappings gift the user with incredible durability and a bump in speed and strength, but that's about it.
Bankai: Come true and Ascend, Yume to Akumu
It is at this point where the user themselves embodies the zanpakuto they weild in its truest form. To pair with Lady Akumu(Nightmare) the Yin energy, Muune Shigyou becomes Lord Yume(Dream) the Yang energy. As the wrappings unravel, a large wake of reiatsu will erupt from his person in gradients of white and silver all the way to blue. The column of light will reveal that he's grown to about 8.5 feet, and his mass of hair is kept out of his face in a ponytail. Two horns protrude from his forehead, and he's back into shinigami attire. He now sports a captain-like coat that is stained crimson and as for the zanpakuto... -Much like the prized weapon his spirit wields, the true bankai form is a large black-bladed weapon with branching blades coming off the edge's side(see in weapon in spirit's photo above). The weapon is 6.5 feet long with a 2 foot handle, and is 8 inches wide. This can be slung across his back since it's too big to sheath. It's heavy but is light as a feather for the user.
Lord's Estate // Ryōshu no Zaisan-At his beck and call, Sin can have dummy swords rain down on a foe and embed themselves into the terrain just like Lady Akumu's war-torn estate. The weapons will remain in existence until the battle is over. These dummy weapon can be manipulated telepathically by the user. This can lead to some impressive trapping and sword juggling. As a sword god, they can turn anywhere into their estate.
Rend // Hikisaku - A simplistic but incredibly fast swing with cataclysmic force behind it. This swing unleashes a slicing whirlwind that will follow the slash path and rage forward like a powerful body of water. They will travel as far as 5-30 meters. The aftermath of one of these has the ground chewed up as slice-and-slash marks eat up whatever was in that path. Blocking this strike may not be the best way to deal with it, as the air wave of slashes can still hit.
Impaling Prayer // Kushizashi no Inori- With the large zanbato, Sin will line up and hone his reiatsu. Pointing it at a foe, he can thrust forward and release a short-ranged skewering beam.
Blunt Strike // Nibui kōgeki- A downward or horizontal sword swing, that puts a large amount of spiritual pressure into the weapon. This attack releases a thunderous blue impact. Unlike his other moves meant to slashing, cut and bissect, this move is made to shatter whatever is front of him with raw force rather than technique.
Time Limit- Not a move, but the branches in the blade will slowly recede into the weapon one by one. After each branch recedes, the weapon itself will slower dwarf over time, and slowly transform back into a regular blade as more reiatsu gets used up. If push passed the limit, he will just return to shikai form, or regular sealed form.
RP Sample:
There were a few captains in attendance. Notably, Yamamoto glared at the man with disdain. It would be a waste of his talents to rot in jail... If he'd turn a new leaf, than he'd have to prove it. Soi Fon would much rather the man be killed, but thankfully the shinigami was given some grace. With a bit of disgust for himself, Sin looked over to Reika who'd already garnered her freedom. In a few months, she too would be donning a captain's robe. Back to his opponent, he huffed. "You've shown yourself strong with a sword, but we're looking to examine more." The geezer said. It was understandable, but the monster in front of him...
In front of him stood a large man with spiky hair. His robes were just as tattered as his sword, and he'd just removed his eyepatch. So going to prison and erasing his name wasn't enough? They wanted to kill the "Sword God" title, and his ego by pitting him against Kenpachi Zaraki. Up until this point, Sin was already covered in wounds and had refused to use his shikai since the sqaud 11 captain seemingly didn't have one. He wanted this to be fair... not that it was ever going to be. "Quite playing around and show me your bankai. This fight is pointless for everyone if you keep on holding back. I may as well kill ya right here!" The Captain had a few knicks and scratches, but by comparison, Sin looked like a ragdoll.
With a deep inhale, "If you die don't come crying to me, Kenpachi." Just uttering the name felt like a mouth full of poison. He hated the man's very existence, the Kenpachi before him as well. He'd line the blade up with his back as if he had a sheath or holster before a large flux of reiatsu came erupting from it. The bandages would unwind and unravel, gaurding the man's appearance as he uttered his bankai's name. "Come true and ascend... Yume to..." As the bandages fell, Sin stood toting a massive blade over his shoulder, the once erupting reiatsu would compress and compact onto his body and weapon. "Akumu." Pointing his zanbato at Zaraki, swords fell from the sky and embedded themselves into the ground. True to his name, he stood tall among the weapons while wielding the grandest one of the bunch. Rather than a god, his visage was more akin to that of a demon, horns protruding from his skull, teeth sharpening into fangs and a large mass of hair coming down his back. The voyeurs would disperse and watch from a distance as things were about to get ugly.
______________________________________________________ Post Duel
A clang could be heard as the swords crossed for a final time. The resulting shockwave between the two forces roared, leaving Sin flat on his back after skidding to a stop. His zanbato just barely missing his head as it too decorated the battlefield like the other weapons. Sitting up, used the massive sword as a means to stay upright and look the winner in the eyes. One of his horns had been bifurcated, and there was an extremely large gash in his shoulder, along with a gaping whole where his gut should be. The only thing keeping him alive was his bankai form and willpower. If he'd released his weapon from cladding him, he'd surely kick the bucket. Luckily, the medical team was in route though the former sword god made it a point for Unohana not to be present. She was a person who needed to be cut down after Zaraki Kenpachi. Captains murmured among one another, not really sure what to make of Sin's performance.
Kenpachi cackled, "Man, JUST when I was starting to get serious." There were multiple swords still sticking out from his body, and a mutual gash in the shoulder, but the man stood tall as if these injuries meant nothing. From the looks of it, it was possible Kenpachi could have kept fighting for hours, maybe even days. Did the 5 hours of Sin's effort mean nothing? "Should take you a few hundred years until you get on my level. But I must say, not bad... enough to make me break a sweat. I was starving for an interesting opponent. Come fight me anytime, I'll only be stronger the next time you see me."
"I ought to be able to slit your throat 20 times by then..." Sin would weakly spew more hate before finally letting himself be retrieved by squad 4. It would take about 5 of them just to pick him up and lug him closer to the Captains. Yamamoto and the others would crowd around him. He'd tap his staff to signify the end of Sin's Captain's Proficiency test. "Sin...-As it stands, you won't be making captain rank, nor does any captain in attendance wish to enlist your services. You will return to the maggot's nest until these decisions change." Sin eyed the crowd. Only 5 Captains out of 13 even bothered to show up, one was his opponent for the bankai demonstrations, Yamamoto HAD to be there, and Soi fon only showed up out of spite. It seemed Komamura was just more curious than anything, wanting to see the descendant of Busuna no Shigyou, a former squad 7 captain. Reika didn't have a say since she still had paperwork to sign. Nobody? "So be it." He'd let his head hang, spitting blood onto the ground in frustration.

He wanted this to be fair... not that it was ever going to be. "Quite playing around and show me your bankai. This fight is pointless for everyone if you keep on holding back. I may as well kill ya right here!" The Captain had a few knicks and scratches, but by comparison, Sin looked like a ragdoll.
With a deep inhale, "If you die don't come crying to me, Kenpachi." Just uttering the name felt like a mouth full of poison. He hated the man's very existence, the Kenpachi before him as well. He'd line the blade up with his back as if he had a sheath or holster before a large flux of reiatsu came erupting from it. The bandages would unwind and unravel, gaurding the man's appearance as he uttered his bankai's name. "Come true and ascend... Yume to..." As the bandages fell, Sin stood toting a massive blade over his shoulder, the once erupting reiatsu would compress and compact onto his body and weapon. "Akumu." Pointing his zanbato at Zaraki, swords fell from the sky and embedded themselves into the ground. True to his name, he stood tall among the weapons while wielding the grandest one of the bunch. Rather than a god, his visage was more akin to that of a demon, horns protruding from his skull, teeth sharpening into fangs and a large mass of hair coming down his back. The voyeurs would disperse and watch from a distance as things were about to get ugly.
______________________________________________________ Post Duel
A clang could be heard as the swords crossed for a final time. The resulting shockwave between the two forces roared, leaving Sin flat on his back after skidding to a stop. His zanbato just barely missing his head as it too decorated the battlefield like the other weapons. Sitting up, used the massive sword as a means to stay upright and look the winner in the eyes. One of his horns had been bifurcated, and there was an extremely large gash in his shoulder, along with a gaping whole where his gut should be. The only thing keeping him alive was his bankai form and willpower. If he'd released his weapon from cladding him, he'd surely kick the bucket. Luckily, the medical team was in route though the former sword god made it a point for Unohana not to be present. She was a person who needed to be cut down after Zaraki Kenpachi. Captains murmured among one another, not really sure what to make of Sin's performance.
Kenpachi cackled, "Man, JUST when I was starting to get serious." There were multiple swords still sticking out from his body, and a mutual gash in the shoulder, but the man stood tall as if these injuries meant nothing. From the looks of it, it was possible Kenpachi could have kept fighting for hours, maybe even days. Did the 5 hours of Sin's effort mean nothing? "Should take you a few hundred years until you get on my level. But I must say, not bad... enough to make me break a sweat. I was starving for an interesting opponent. Come fight me anytime, I'll only be stronger the next time you see me."
"I ought to be able to slit your throat 20 times by then..." Sin would weakly spew more hate before finally letting himself be retrieved by squad 4. It would take about 5 of them just to pick him up and lug him closer to the Captains. Yamamoto and the others would crowd around him. He'd tap his staff to signify the end of Sin's Captain's Proficiency test. "Sin...-As it stands, you won't be making captain rank, nor does any captain in attendance wish to enlist your services. You will return to the maggot's nest until these decisions change." Sin eyed the crowd. Only 5 Captains out of 13 even bothered to show up, one was his opponent for the bankai demonstrations, Yamamoto HAD to be there, and Soi fon only showed up out of spite. It seemed Komamura was just more curious than anything, wanting to see the descendant of Busuna no Shigyou, a former squad 7 captain. Reika didn't have a say since she still had paperwork to sign. Nobody? "So be it." He'd let his head hang, spitting blood onto the ground in frustration.
