Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Nelcarrion

Zanpakuto Looks: A single katana with a black handle with red flecks. The guard is a 10 pointed star with the tips curving left on one side and right on the other

Released Zanpakuto Description: It is a dual Zanpakuto, connected by a chain from the hilts that can extend slightly allowing it to be thrown a short distance. One blade has fire abilities and when it strikes small explosions can be caused, but against equally strong opponents the explosion is small and only useful on a direct hit. The other blade, whenever it strikes, summons 2 more spiritual blades close to its own, increasing attack strength meaning the strike is likely to be nigh on twice its normal stength due to the extra blades, but again this isnt as effective against equally matched opponents. Flame Strike - This fires a black fireball at the enemy with an intense heat and explosive force. This cannot however be used continuously and has a 3 post cooldown. It can also be slow when Nichondri is tired or weakened. Talon Strike - This is done from the other blade, and summons 5 spiritual blades around the original blade and all strike with the same force. This can be very deadly, even when it is blocked. This has a cooldown of 4 posts. Switch - This switched the properties of the blades around, ie, say the fire blade was in the left, it would then appear in the right. This can be deadly and confusing to the enemy but can only be used twice in a battle and has a 5 post cooldown.

Zanpakuto Release Phrase: Phrase - 'Cut and burn, slice and sear, Nelcarrion!' Action - The forefinger and middle finger of the left hand slide across the blade from the guard to the point, the blade will also glow white hiding the overall shape of the blade, at this point another handle will appear at the end of the blade, which he will grab and then draw 2 katana and striking the hilts together at which point flames will shoot across the blades revealing the released form.

Released Zanpakuto Looks: https://i.servimg.com/u/f38/15/58/34/21/sword110.jpg There are 2 blades, much like the picture but with a less elaborate handle, along with being longer and slightly straighter. Also, one blade has a wavy, curved blade with a hollow centre with a bar running through the middle while the other has jagged egdes with a slightly straighter point. The first blade is the fire blade and the second is the sword blade. The blades are also in fact completely black with a faint silver pattern resembling those of Nichondri's belt.

Manifestation The manifestation of Nelcarrion is a humanoid dragon-like figure, with large, long talons and fire constantly surrounding him. He is also completely black with gleaming golden eyes.

Techniques Kido - Strong hado, but relatively weak bakudo. Flashstep.

History and RP Sample

History: Nichondri was brought up in the West Rukon District, Area 45. He was abandoned as a baby but was taken in by adoptive parents. They managed to raise him up well with a good sense of right and wrong while keeping him strong, both in the mind and the body. He turned out to be quite intelligent while also being strong as he would often go to get supplies and have to carry large crates back. As he was abandoned he took up a name of his own when he was young, and did not wish to accept the surname of his adoptive parents.

As he grew up he became familiar and well liked among many neighbouring families and was polite and liked enough to occasionally get discounts from some of the more generous shopkeepers. He also joined a small gang in his late teens. And that’s when the trouble began. This group started off friendly enough but eventually got him into trouble, with his sense of justice and right and wrong being clouded by pressure and adrenaline. Eventually he became shunned upon by most because of his affiliation with the gang who often committed theft and attacked people in the street.

One day however, Nichondri met one of his childhood friends who had run away to another district. He was all skin and bones and was in desperate need for a good meal. But when Nichondri tried to stop the gang from attacking the kid, they simply tried to attack him too. Then as anger welled up inside of him, his body glowed and shimmered, and suddenly there was an explosion and a fire broke out. During this diversion the gang fled while Nichondri tried to help his old friend away from the fire and back to his home.

Once back home, he went round into the garden while his friend was given some leftover food. His father came out and sat beside him.
‘You haven’t been home much lately, I hope you didn’t bring those boys back with you.’
‘Not this time, father.’
‘Have you …. Left them?’ his voice seemed anxious and worried.
‘I … I’m so sorry, why did I join with them! I’ve been such a fool!!’ Nichondri shouted, seemingly at himself, and started crying.
‘My boy, sometimes good comes from evil, perhaps you had to see what was done to see how to prevent it.’
‘Oh yea, how didn’t I see that, of course by beating and stealing I’m really such a saint!!’
‘You may not think it yet, but I believe there is good and evil, and that only comes from deep within, I just hope you are not yet lost from us.’
‘… What am I to do.’
‘That … I cannot say, you must find the way.’
He then left, leaving Nichondri alone. He then left the garden, and ran, ran as far and as fast as he could, for several hours he ran, tears in his eyes, the thoughts and actions of his past, and his affiliation with that gang causing anger to well up. His body started shimmering again, and before he realized it, he was staring at the Seireitei, the place of the soul reapers.

‘You have some pretty dangerous spiritual pressure there young lad.’
Nichondri swirled round and standing behind him was a soul reaper.
‘Thinking about joining the academy?’
‘I don’t know what your talking about!’
‘I think you know full well, that explosion the other day, your shimmering body. Maybe you should head over to the academy, they’ll help you control it you know.’
It was true, he had noticed many strange occurrences lately, and he wasn’t the same as most of the other souls around Rukon.
‘Am I … different?’ He asked himself, ‘What is my purpose, is all im good for is stealing and theft? No, my parents raised me better than that, and it's time I pulled myself together!’
‘Excuse me, I have to go, soul reaper, but I’ll think about the academy.’
He then ran home as quickly as possible to talk with his parents, but when he returned, there was nothing.

The bodies of his parents and even his friend lay littered around, and the house was burning, but there was a sheet, with some writing, flapping in the wind. It read as follows:
It's been 2 days, seems ya ditched us. Didn’t I tell ya, no one ditches us without paying for it!
His parents, his family, his whole life, had been shattered at that one point. He just stood there. Others quickly gathered round and soul reapers arrived at the scene to take care of the situation. And he just stood there. Anger, sadness, loneliness, all bubbled within him. He threw the letter away, barged past the soul reapers into the garden and opened the chest with a katana inside. He ripped it from it's casing and ran seeking out the gang.

At last he found them, within an empty warehouse, they were gathered around something, something big, and horrible, and it seemed to be … sucking at something.
‘Who’s there? Oh look whose back, well looks like you know what’s going on now, best just to take you out with the trash.’ This would seem normal, if all the bodies hadn’t talked simultaneously. They then launched at him, glowing faintly yellow. With his anger, and his fear taking over, he attacked with equal vigour and strength, and although many were taken down, he was overwhelmed and held down. The monstrous thing came forward and a trunk-like appendage appeared above him, but before it reached him the doors burst open.

Soul reapers poured in and assaulted the creature and the bodies holding Nichondri down. But after this, he lost conscious and backed out. When he came too it was morning, the warehouse was all but empty except for one soul reaper.
‘Sorry we were late kid, we’d been tracking that hollow for months, but you did well. You should try out at the academy. You may not realise it but most the damage in here was because of when you were attacking. You have potential.’ As he got up and left, he paused by the door, and said quietly, ‘I’m sorry.’ At that moment it all came back to him, the fire, the bodies, the loneliness.
‘Wait!’ He cried, out of desperation, ‘Take me to the academy, I wish to be strong, and help protect against the evil these creatures ensue, no-one should feel the pain I have felt.’ The following month, he joined the academy.

During the academy it seemed he exceeded in both swordsmanship and hado, but lacked in bakudo and did not excel in kido very well. However he kept diligent to his studies, keeping rather to himself but remaining a popular person in the classes. He eventually passed and managed to get a place in the 6th Division, where he admired the captain, Byakuya Kuchiki. However he was moved to the 9th Division to take on an officers role and help with the protection of the Soul Society.

During an especially dangerous mission in the world of the living against modified hollows from the Research Bureau, he was offered a place as the 4tg seat in the 8th Division. Being overjoyed at the possible promotion he swore he would train and earn the place as 4th seat to help protect the Soul Society and the world of the living from Hollows.


RP Sample:

It was a dark cold night. He didnt really feel like it but it was the best time to get some private practice in. It was midnight, but the moon kept the 8th Divisions training ground well lit. He drew his sword and set up a stance. Dont be so rigid, keep the moves flowing, he whispered to himself. He then began a few stance attacks, some thrusts and stabs, cuts and blocks, untill sweat began dripping from his chin and his glasses steaming up. He stood up after a short break and continued with the sword practice, just like every night.

After a good few hours of training he decided to hurry back to his quarters, and into the small meditation garden he had set aside for times like these. He released his Zanpakuto as quietly as he could, and began communicating with, growing their bond together and preparing for times ahead. But before he knew it the sun had risen, and the duties of an officer never wait around for anyone. But at least captain Kyoraku was holding a drinking party tonight, a good time for Nichondri to relax a little bit and get a bit 'tipsy'. He chuckled to himself, and just hoped Rangiku wasnt going to ask him to play strip sake with him.

'Lets paaaaaaartay!!!' Half and hour in and Nichondri was already wasted, or 'tipsy'. Rangiku was there, as always, and was going from man to man as per usual. Nichondri was sitting with the captain, luitenant and 3rd seat. 'Wont you have a bit more sake my boy, a capatain has to treat his men correctly, right my sweet Nanao?' Nanao sighed and tried to look busy. 'Of course i'll have some more my good captain!' Some more sake was poured around and the drinking began anew.

Then the warning sirens sounded. The West section had reported a small hollow incursion. 'Sir, what should we do?' Cried Nichondri after hearing the news. 'I'll organize the men here to get ready, you go on ahead.' Nichondri began muttering and grumbling to himself, 'What was that? I cant have you bad mouthing me now, what would the other captains say?' 'Ah sorry sir, it was nothing of the sort sir, just planning how to deal with the hollows sir.' He then lept up from where he was sitting, grabbed the few members of his squad who were still relatively sober and moved out.

'Whoa, they really are hollows aren't they sir?' mumbled one of Nichondri's squad members. 'No?! Really?!? I hadn't noticed, i just thought they were guests and was going to offer them a drink, thanks for the warning! Now sharpen up guys, we dont know how dangerous these guys are!' Nichondri was teasing with his friends, but was secretly worried for them. He drew his sword while his squad followed suit. 'Right guys, lets do this!' He then launched round the corned, head on into the hollows forces.
