Gender: Male
Division: N/A
Rank: Ex Captain
Looks: - Spoiler:
Personality: Gin is one of the most mysterious Shinigami in the series, since his almost constant smile and slitted eyes, combined with his heavy use of sarcasm and mocking politeness, make it very difficult to discern his thoughts. Many find his demeanor and appearance rather unsettling and there are very few who were willing to trust him even before he was revealed as a traitor. Gin seems to be fully aware of the effect he has on others and more than once has been seen toying with people's emotional states for his own amusement. Both Rukia Kuchiki and Wonderweiss Margera have shown to be rather frightened of him, Rukia noting to herself that she felt like she was being strangled by snakes whenever he spoke, even if he was not speaking to her directly. In the anime, Gin speaks with a distinct Kyoto dialect, which is polite but indirect. His English dubbed voice is also formal and polite, but with a rather mocking and facetious undertone.
Ever since he was a child, dried persimmons have been his absolute favorite food. Gin planted and raised many persimmon trees around the 3rd division offices, and makes the dried persimmons himself, then distributes them to other divisions. Once he wound up eating a dried sweet potato, thinking, "Oh, it's a dried persimmon!" and he hated it. When he has free time, Captain Ichimaru goes on walks around Seireitei. Although his hobby is people-watching, it seems like he is possibly hunting around and searching for an opportunity to create mischief with some poor victim. The gentlemen of the 3rd Division are contrary, and they have the kind of attitude that enjoys that mean-spiritedness. He also has incredible skill at needle threading.[3]
Sexuality: Straight
Relationship Status: You are there, and i am here, ...so good luck with that.
Zanpakuto InformationZanpakuto Name: Kamishini no Yari
Zanpakuto Looks: 
Released Zanpakuto Description: N/A
Zanpakuto Release Phrase: Shoot to kill Shinso
Genius Intellect: When Gin was younger, he was hailed as a child genius. He was highly proficient in his classes at the Shinigami Academy and he graduated in one year. His skill was already evident at a young age when he gained a seated position in the 5th Division shortly after graduating, ultimately surpassing the previous child prodigy Kaien Shiba, who was already an adult and had taken five years to become a seated officer.[78] Gin has shown himself to be highly manipulative and deceptive even when it's evident. He comes out unscathed due to the calm confusion he plays at, which is a testament to his overall strategy. In his battle with Hitsugaya, Gin was able to manipulate the positions of three people so Hitsugaya would have to choose between saving his own life or Hinamori's without any visible effort. He has shown capable of simple deception by having his opponent focus on one thing to hide the true threat.[79]
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Gin is a highly proficient combatant. In combat, he doesn't seem the least bit taken back by the abilities of his opponent, even when they seemingly have an advantage. He fights with seemingly no effort behind his attacks. His ability to wield his combat skills was evident even when he was a child. He easily defeated and killed the former third seat of the 5th division, who by rank and age should have been more powerful and skilled than him. He is commonly seen using his Zanpakutō's special ability, allowing him to be quite deadly at a distance, which is capable of killing multiple targets in one shot.[80][81] He has shown the ability to use extreme speed mixed with a calm composure and precise attacks.[82]
Immense Spiritual Power: Gin, without putting out any effort, easily incapacitated Chad, Orihime, Uryū, Makizō, and Ganju with his Reiatsu just by facing the direction they were coming from.[83]
Flash Steps Expert: Though never actually shown using this in combat, after his battle with Tōshirō Hitsugaya, he used an impressive Flash Step to retreat.[84] He is also able to fight on even grounds and speeds with Ichigo using Tensa Zangetsu.[85]
Enhanced Durability: Gin's durability is strong enough to withstand a direct hit from Ichigo Kurosaki's Getsuga Tensho, only suffering a light wound to his forehead as a result.[86]
Released Zanpakuto Looks: Shinsō (神鎗, God Spear; Viz "Sacred Spear"): It looks like an ordinary wakizashi. The hilt is light-blue with a tsuba made of two slim swirls of metal looping around the blade to make an open oval, resembling an "S".
Shikai Special Ability: In its Shikai, Shinsō's blade glows white and extends at high speed to impale Gin's opponents from a distance. The blade also carries tremendous force when extending, as seen when Gin pushes both Ichigo Kurosaki and the giant Jidanbō out from under the Seireitei gate, despite the latter being firmly braced under it. In addition, Gin can maintain the extension and swing the activated Shinsō in wide arcs, attacking multiple targets quickly and simultaneously.[90][91] Shinsō is capable of reaching a maximum length equivalent to one hundred times its original length, earning it the nickname Hyapponzashi (百本差し, Hundred-span) when Gin was younger.[92]
Bankai InformationDo you want your character to have bankai: Yes
Bankai Description: Kamishini no Yari (神殺鎗, God-Killing Spear): In its Bankai state, Gin's Zanpakutō does not change in appearance at all, retaining its small wakizashi form. However, as Kamishini no Yari, the blade is capable of reaching lengths equivalent to 13 kilometers (roughly 8.1 miles) at 500 times the speed of sound. The blade can also retract to its normal size at the same rate.[93][94]
Bankai Special Ability: Gin's Bankai main basic abilities are essentially the same possessed by his Shikai, but its power, length and speed are vastly amplified. The blade's tremendous cutting power is significantly increased, to the point where Gin is capable of swiftly cutting an entire town in half with a single stroke while standing a great distance away.[95] Kamishini no Yari's true ability as well as its deadliest aspect is not based on its length or speed but rather its ability to turn into dust for just a second when it expands out and contracts. There is a deadly poison inside the blade that dissolves and breaks down cells. He can leave a sliver of his Zanpakuto in an opponent when he retracts Kamishini no Yari allowing him to kill an opponent at any time when he chooses to utter the release command "Kill, Kamishini no Yari" for the technique while placing his hand up to the target. The result causes the target to completely break down and dissolve at the cellular level from the inside out.[96]
* Hypersonic Blade Extension and Contraction: An ability that is unbeknownst to most opponents until it's too late is that it is not Kamishini no Yari's destructive potential, great length, or wide sweeping range. It is in fact the speed with which it can extend and contract its blade. Gin's Bankai can achieve its full length at 500 times the speed of sound: exactly 171,500 meters per second in order to arrive at its full length of 13km in under 0.08 seconds, which makes Kamishini no Yari not the longest Zanpakutō, but the fastest. Because the blade's extension and contraction speed is his Bankai's greatest ability, Gin tends to downplay its speed whenever he talks about his Zanpakutō, and instead focuses on the length and range of the blade in order to gain a psychological advantage over his opponent.[97]
* Butō (舞踏, Dance (Step)): By adopting a stance where he firmly grips Kamishini no Yari with both hands and places the Zanpakutō's hilt squarely to the center of his chest, Gin is able to unleash the tremendous extension and contraction properties of his Bankai to an even more terrifying extent than its normal state. This occurs in the form of a piercing maneuver where the extension and contraction of the blade becomes almost completely-unseen to even the most-diligent of observers.[98]
Gin's Butō Renjin Technique
* Butō: Renjin (舞踏連刃, Dance (Step) Serial Blade): This ability repeats the action of extending and subsequently contracting Kamishini no Yari, as observed within the technique Butō, multiple times in rapid succession. The entirety of this process is completed in a mere moment, resulting in the individual steps involved in this technique becoming virtually indistinguishable from each other, generating an apparent mass of numerous blades that leaves little opportunity for the intended victim to evade successfully.[99]
Bankai Looks: Kamishini no Yari (神殺鎗, God-Killing Spear): In its Bankai state, Gin's Zanpakutō does not change in appearance at all, retaining its small wakizashi form. However, as Kamishini no Yari, the blade is capable of reaching lengths equivalent to 13 kilometers (roughly 8.1 miles) at 500 times the speed of sound. The blade can also retract to its normal size at the same rate.[93][94]
History and RP SampleHistory: One day, while Gin was young and before he became a Shinigami, he was picking up a stick. When he spotted Aizen and three other Shinigami (who were kneeling on the ground before him), through a clearing in the brush. Spying on them, he saw Aizen take the Hōgyoku from one of the Shinigami's hands and put it in a glass.[4] When he turned back Aizen gave the Hōgyoku back to the Shinigami, and Gin realized Aizen must be the leader.[5] Sometime later when Gin was collecting dried persimmons when he came across a fatigued and injured Rangiku Matsumoto lying on the ground not to far from some Shinigami.[6]
Gin goes to Matsumoto and awakes her by offering her a persimmon and told her that if she had collapsed due to hunger, she must have spiritual energy. She recognizes that he must have spiritual energy as well, as Gin introduced himself.[7]
Shortly after, while eating, Gin asked Rangiku when her birthday was and she replied she didn't know as she never really counted days until she met him. Gin then told her that from then on, the day that they met would be her birthday.[8] They have been friends since and joined the Shinō Academy together.[3] Since then, Matsumoto has been one of the few people Gin seems to truly care for.[9]
Gin as a child after killing the 5th Squad's 3rd seat.
Approximately 110 years ago Gin graduated from the Academy after just one year, and was given a seated position in the 5th Division. When he met Aizen for the first time he already killed the 3rd seat of the 5th Division, referring to him as worthless. Aizen immediately gave him the 3rd seat of the Division after the incident, which they both kept secret.[10]
9 years later Gin is shown to be involved in Aizen's plot and assisting him in the Hollowfication of high ranking Shinigami.[11] He is present at the Hollowfication of the investigation team sent by Captain-Commander Yamamoto. He watched the conversation between Shinji Hirako and Aizen. He didn't seem surprised at the arrival of captains Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi.[12] Aizen proceeded to leave the scene of the crime with his henchmen, stating that "there's nothing more to do there". To stop them from retreating, Tessai performed Hadō #88, Hiryugekizokushintenraiho against them, only to be countered by Aizen using Bakudō #81, Danku, enabling their escape.[13]
Some time after this Aizen after many decades finally tells Gin the secret to avoiding Kyōka Suigetsu's complete hypnosis.[14]
Gin as Aizen's Lieutenant.
Sometime later, Gin served as the lieutenant of the 5th Division under Captain Sōsuke Aizen. Aizen and Gin saved the surviving young recruits of the Shinigami Academy - Momo Hinamori, Izuru Kira, and Renji Abarai, who were out on a field exercise, from a group of huge Hollows. Kira would later become the Lieutenant of the 3rd Division under Gin [15][16]
Gin eventually became the captain of the 3rd Division around the same time that Byakuya Kuchiki became captain of the 6th Division (less than 49 years ago). Gin however, even as a captain of his own division, was still a loyal subordinate to Aizen.[17][18]
At some point during their captaincy, Aizen, Gin and Tōsen secretly visited Baraggan Luisenbarn, the King of Hueco Mundo and Lord of Las Noches. Aizen and Baraggan engaged in a light conversation as Gin and Tōsen looked on. Aizen then released his Shikai and showed Baraggan the decimation of his army by the two other captains.[19]
RP Sample: Ulquiorra used sonido here, he removed his cold arm from Yuki`s shoulder
The room was much like Orihimes, but there was a bathroom on the right side, and another door on the left side the door was a small room with clothes, full of white colored clothes in many variations, in Las noches style off course, there was female clothes only, short and revealing ones (like the ones menoly and lolly where wearing), long and slender ones, tight and loose, with sleeves or withouth, there was even a few dresses that went down to the floor, anything you could possibly think off, suprisingly the room was bigger than what it first seemed, on the main room there was a sofa, a table and a chair next to it, the shining moon outside let in some color to the room trough a small window
Ulquiorra wondered what he would expect from her, what reaction could she possibly give, maybe she was too tired to even care, he stood still and kept his arms in his pockets.
~ Yuki felt relieved when Ulquiorra removed his arm from her shoulder, it made her somewhat embarrassed to have him that close. Why is he this cold? The room they had entered was really beautiful, even in her tired and scared state Yuki acknowledged that. She was quite surprised to be given these quarters, seeing that she -was- a prisoner after all. Her blue eyes scanned the surroundings as she took small, hesitating steps around. Turning back to Ulquiorra, she gave him a smile and bowed her head slightly. ,,This room is very beautiful, thank you." She hoped he wouldn't hear how much her voice shook. She didn't believe for one minute that she would make it out of here alive and her sheer willpower was by now holding her up on her feet and keeping her from lying on the floor, crying her eyes out. Or was it perhaps that she knew her friends had made it alive? That was probably also a big reason. She had never felt this helpless, hopeless and alone in her life. Will anyone even miss me... will anyone try to rescue me? Takashi... sorry I will not be able to buy you that food I promised... Her smile turned rather sad and she looked quickly away from Ulquiorra, now looking out of the window and gazing up at the moon. Was it possible to die out of grief or loneliness? Taking in a deep breath and gathering her composure, Yuki turned towards Ulquiorra once more.
If it's alright with you, then I would like to take that bath now. I'm sure I will manage to find something to wear in here." Yuki walked in light steps towards the bathroom and peeked inside. It was really amazing, if not for the circumstances then she would have been really thrilled about getting to take a bath in a fancy bathroom like this. Turning on her heel and giving her captor an awkward smile while having her arms behind her back, she wondered what he would do now? Would she be left alone to take a bath or would he insist on watching over her?
Had she been wrong earlier before they entered the room about seeing just for a split of a second some emotions in his face? It felt like something quite unbelievable, but she still wished to cling to the thought of him having some morals or feelings. Although it had always been said that hollows didn't have hearts. ~
Ulquiorra scanned her eyes and reply, fair enough he though ... the servants will bring you your daily meal in about an hour, normally you would be allowed to take a stroll in las noches but since you cant be allowed to do that alone and i wont be precent, and you probably dont want to do that with anyone else round here, you will have to live withouth that today....
Ulquiorra strolled his eyes from her toes up her chest and finally towards her head, he read her lips as she spoke the last words, it was fine Ulquiorra had other things to do at the moment it was not like he was feeling anything for this girl right?.... he closed his eyes and simply nodded he turned around letting his white hakama flutter in the air while walking toward the door, while walking he spoke .... by the way if someone is trying to sneak inside here and you know its not me, i suggest you hide, if its one of the other espada then its probably not going to be any use of hiding, but if its a fraccion or another lowly arrancar then they might just be jealous or qurious with that the door went shut with Ulquiorra leaving the room, the whole room echoed for a short while, she could hear his footsteps outside getting futher and futher away from her, the door could not be opened from the inside, and you needed a key on the outside but it was fairly easy to lockpick yourself inside.... or get a key
Ulquiorra walked the long corridors, again with his arms in his pockets what a strong willed woman...
~ She got a little surprised at his words when he warned her about anyone going into her room. She knew he would probably not be saying this just to scare her or without a good reason, so she was going to make sure she'd listen to him. Although, why drag your death any longer than it had to be? But depressing thoughts about death weren't exactly something that often crossed the mind of the strong willed and proud quincy, she was always ready to fight with everything she got no matter what. ,,Thank you for the warning, I will do my best to follow your advices." He seemed to be getting a little bit nicer, although wasn't he just saying this to protect the "property" of his God? Well Yuki was coming to the conclusion that she could have had a -lot- worse captor, so she decided to not be using any mean nicknames on him any longer.
As the Espada left the room and his footsteps echoed through the hallway, Yuki was finally able to relax her tense shoulders and take a deep breath. Finally being alone and not being watched, she walked towards the room where the clothes were and opened the door. Wow.. so much to choose from... After looking through the selection for a few minutes she finally decided on a long and slender costume that instead of having sleeves attached to it, it left her shoulders bare and then continued down her arms.
Taking the costume, she walked into the bathroom and locked it. Filling the bathtub in a few minutes and putting some nicely scented oils in it , Yuki let herself sink down into the water with a sigh of relief. This will hopefully help out my tense muscles.. She found some soap and after finding the smell of it approving, Yuki started cleaning herself thoroughly as if she could wash away everything that had happened that day. As she was done cleaning the soap from her hair and her body, she lingered a little in the warm water. Now fully relaxed she looked with empty eyes up at the ceiling and thought carefully about everything that had happened. At first the shinigamis that she had made her help clean, about Takashi and then how this man had appeared. After that moment everything seemed to become a blur. Yuki glanced down at her chest and put her hand where Ulquiorra had made the hole. Her fingers touched the skin hesitantly, but when she didn't feel any discomfort she pressed a little harder. It wasn't really that she had been expecting anything to happen, so with a sigh she let her hand fall back down into the bathwater. What exactly did he do to me? What was that thing he took out of my body? She kept raking her memory and came to the conclusion that the last few things she had seen or felt were the presence of a strong shinigami and then lastly the frightened eyes of Val.
Yuki closed her eyes as she felt the tears well up. It was hard to swallow, and she let out a small, pained sigh of sorrow. Had her captor really told her the truth or not? She bent forward and hugged her knees to herself, letting out the tears that had been building up. Her soft sobbing echoed through the bathroom as her shoulders trembled from the crying. She didn't allow herself to give in for the feeling for too long though, she couldn't afford to be in a weak or emotional state if she was going to survive this. Wiping and washing her face thoroughly, she finally stood up and after letting the water out of the bathtub, dried herself with a huge, white towel she found.
When Yuki came out of the bathroom her fighting spirit was back at it's fullest. She now wore the arrancar costume that went very well with her dark hair and slender yet feminine shape. Her dark, long hair fell in waves down her back, and her blue eyes had a hard glint of determination to them. After wandering about in the room for a few minutes and checking out every corner, there was a light knock on her door and in came a servant with food tray for her. The servant looked like the other arrancars, having a mask and wore a white costume. He didn't say a word to her, but let the food tray on the table in her room and walked out again, locking the door behind him. Yuki walked up to the tray and looked down at it with curiosity, she had at first not been sure if she should dare eat whatever she would be given here but when she looked at the food her stomach growled loudly as if reminding her that the last thing she had eaten was the simple breakfast she had made herself before going to school. Well....drugged food or not.. I need the energy.
So she sat down and started eating slowly while pondering about what she could possibly do. After finishing almost everything from her plate, Yuki stood up and stretched lazily. There wasn't any sign of her captor to be coming right back again, and it wasn't as if she had anything more special to do so she walked up to the tempting bed and curled up on it. Her last thoughts were the face of her little sister, a small smile crossing her lips as she drifted away to the dreamworld. ~
