Zero Saotomi (Suigara)

General Information

Name: Zero Saotomi
Appearance Age: 25
True Age: 9000
Gender: male
Element: Marriage: A strange word to describe his power, but philosophically, it represents marriage. Alone, he can 'divorce' objects using the power of his Sacred Weapon, but when 'married' to his Sacred Beast, he can access even more. He can 'Divorce' his own blades, and the more stages of transformation occur, the more he and his Sacred Beast are able to trust and rely on each other: Symbolizing that the longer a marriage occurs, the stronger the couple's relationship gets.

Overall Appearance

Personality:Zero usually maintains a stern, serious and distanced personality, but often loses his temper in a goofy and exaggerated comical style. He can also be extremely intimidating, easily frightening weaker opponents with just his glare. It has also been stated that he has a monstrous killing intent evident from the fact where he almost drew his sword on one of the Captains of the Gotei 13. Despite this, Zero has a kind heart, shown as he was willing to risk death for the sake of a little girl he did not know. He has a strong sense of leadership and reasoning.

While technically not a samurai, Zero maintains Bushido to a certain degree (i.e. he consistently refuses to attack an adversary whose back is turned and himself considers a scar on the back to be a swordsman's greatest shame). Whether he agrees with them or not, he will stand by Ninpu's decisions, stepping in only to point out the seriousness of a situation where it has been overlooked by her.
Appearance:

When in Ninpu's world:

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 240lbs

Natural Abilities

Skilled Martial Artist: Because he relies of his own strength as well as his Sword's and Ninpu's strengths, he constantly trains in various martial arts, making his physical prowess truly exceptional.

Master Swordsman: Because all of his weapons are Sword-based, he makes it a serious issue to always practice and hone his skill with the Sword.

The Shigure Soen Ryu is a sword technique that is called the "Invincible Sword Style" for several reasons. This technique originated with one man, and like a family tree, it grew. As the technique was passed down, the more the tree grew. It is common for a generation to add a new form to the Shigure Soen. This is a sword style that varies, depending on who your master was. Thus, there could be many different variations of the Shigure Soen Style.

Born Leader: Zero has the Charisma needed to draw millions of strong Shinigami's, Quincies, Hollows, Bounts, and other creatures alike.

Master Strategist & Tactician: Zero has repeatedly shown himself to be a very insightful and cunning man. He also possesses great intuition, able to quickly become aware of any incoming danger and react to it in time. Zero has an undeniable talent for thinking things well in advance as well, make decisive and accurate decisions quickly in battle, and able to perceive any situation at hand. He generally has shown himself to also be a crafty tactician from how easily he can deceive both allies and enemies. He has also shown to be a very perceptive and analytical man from how quickly he can analyze an opponent's power and attack patterns to ultimately make them useless against him.

Vast Reiatsu Knowledge: Zero is well versed in all aspects of the spirit and the spiritual world. He has extensive knowledge of many of the creatures he has faced due to his profession, and is skilled in multiple ways of dealing with them. However, Zero's spiritual knowledge does not end there. He knows of many spiritual rituals, rare artifacts, different races, and much, much more.

Vast Reiatsu: Having many years of intense training in fighting and the spiritual arts, Zero has a very high amount of reiatsu.

Guardian Beast

Sacred Weapon: Saigohantei (Final judgment):

Saigohantei is a normal katana with a pair of wedding rings hanging off the hilt. The blade is died crimson red.

Guardian Beast: Ninpu Usagi (Pregnant Female Rabbit)

Ninpu always looks this way, except when released in battle.

Ninpu is basically a Feudal House Wife. In her mind, she is Zero's wife, and must protect him to the end. She truly adores Zero, but fears that he may not love her as deeply as she does. She also worries that he doesn't rely on her strength enough. Unlike normal Sacred Beasts, Ninpu cannot use her own powers, and is as weak as a normal House Wife in the real world.

Guardian Beast's World: In Ninpu's world, there is no danger, no hardship, no fear. A large, feudal castle surrounded by forests and grassy plain is all there is. In this world, Ninpu created a family for Zero and her: including five children, and a few relatives. There is a small garden to entertain her every now and then, but all food that exists here, simply comes out of thin air. There is a large weapons closet used to hold all of Zero's training weapons.

Techinques: Without relying on Ninpu, Zero can harness a small amount of her natural power.

Flame Ballet: This attack focuses around the idea Divorce. Zero creates a pink, grid like orb that is made out of Reiatsu. The orbs can be made any size, but do the same ratio of destructive damage. Destroying the grid causes a chain reaction with the Reiatsu, causing an explosion to erupt inside. The Explosion only affects objects suck inside grid, ignoring the outside halves of objects stuck halfway. The only major weakness is speed, as it takes some time to get the spacial coordinates properly. This means that it is really hard to capture a moving target. This ability can also be neutralized by water based attacks, seeing as the explosion is fire-based.

Magic:Hoi: Designates a person as the target of the spell.

Joso: Designates an area as the target of the spell. Needs a high focus (Sacred drawn) and more Reiatsu.

Sekkai: Developed to be used against Suigara techniques and Bakudo, this can disrupt barriers by quite a bit, making it easier to break free.

Shuufuku: A healing spell that heals wounds and restores damaged objects. It first creates a weak barrier around the object or person, and then restoring Reiatsu is funeled into the barrier.

Shikigami: This creates small paper dolls that the user can use as measures of spying on enemies, since the user sees everything the small papercut does.

Musou: A technique to highten the body of the user. Pumping Reiatsu into the muscles, they get faster, react better and stronger, but give up capabilities with magic casting at the same time. Lasts for about 20 minutes.

Ketsu: Creates a barrier around the target enemy or area. The barrier can be used as a defensive messure around oneself, or to trap enemies for a short period of time. Enemies of the same or higher strength can break the barrier with a bit of effort. With a drawn Sacred, the barrier gets stronger.

Kai: Releases the barrier without causing damage.

Metsu: Collapses the barrier inwards, damaging all trapped inside. The more Reiatsu is used, the more devastating the explosion inside the collapsing barrier is. Can be used without a Sacred, the sword makes it stronger, however.

Guardian Beast Unsealed

The pattern of their releases symbolizes Zero's reliance on Ninpu. In Joushou, he is completely in control, and never relies on Ninpu directly. In Zenou, Ninpu is 'closer' to Zero, being able to attack on her own, but Zero still controls her movements. In Kyuukyou, they are one, with Zero giving Ninpu full maneuverability, relying on her strength more than ever.

Joushou:("Ascending")
When in this form, Ninpu can divide in half and reform into copies of herself. This ability is unlimited, but can only work if applied with outside force. This means that when in this form, she can only split if Zero wills it.

Abilities:

Bloody Ballet- Zero creates a Flame Ballet the size of a marble and skillful shoves it down his target's throat and fixes it around the wall of either the heart, lung, or Stomach.

Homing Death Star- Zero creates a lock on a recently made Sword and throws it towards his opponent. When it approaches his opponent, he instantly creates a Flame Ballet around the Sword, hopefully capturing and damaging his opponent in the process.

Ghost Block- Zero blocks an attack with one sword, while using a second sword to apply pressure to the hilt. Zero then Pulls the sword in half again, leaving one sword in mid-air to strike with his newly made sword.

Mass Formation- Zero creates many (Up to ten) Swords and holds them together with Ketsu Spells, creating different formations that can be used in different ways.

Room- Zero creates a small platform for him to fight, or even relax on.

Monkey Bar- Zero holds a single Sword in the air and suspends it with a pair of Ketsu Spells. This allows Zero to catch himself when falling.


Heaven's Strike- This technique abandons defense for a full on attack. Zero uses the leather covers on his feet to thrust two of his swords upward at his opponent, while striking from above with two swords as well. This attack is full of openings, but is normally too fast for anyone to react to.

Sword of Heaven: A variation of Heaven's Strike, but instead of moving forward, Zero tucks into a backwards, mid-air summersault, following the first two swords with his second pair, striking from the opponent's blind-spot. Unlike the previous, this technique is slightly slower, but increases Zero's defensive abilities.


Imprisonment- Zero creates a cage around his opponent with Mass Fortification and finally creates a large Flame Ballet around the cage and his opponent.

Unavailable yet:

Zenou: ("Almighty") In this form, Ninpu transforms into a thick, metal gauntlet that covers Zero's left arm. A floating, horseshoe-like objects hovers over Ninpu, with hundreds of shurikens stuck in the sides. There is a turtleshell-like sheild in place of the opening in the horseshoe. Because the shield is held mentally, or spiritually (it is unknown what the true cause is), even if a meteor hits the shield, Zero will take no direct damage. In this form, Ninpu has more freedom, being able to spin the shurikens on her own, creating a chainsaw-like effect. She can also break the ends off of the shurikens and re-grow new ones out of the both pieces. This helps for long-mid range combat.

Abilities:

Harem Tornado- Despite the Sexy name, it is merely a horizontal Tornado made from firing hundreds of Shurikens one after another.

Death Ballet- A stronger variation of Flame Ballet. This version creates a solid grid of Reiatsu that imprisons his opponent and has a stronger blast.

KyuuKyou:("Ultimate")

Spoiler:

The final stage of a Ninpu's power. In this form, Ninpu take the place of large, steal wings. The wings are physically fused into Zero's back, but move independently to Ninpu's will. Ninpu can protrude blades from the steal feathers to attack, and the wings can stretch to cover every inch of Zero for defensive purposes. They tend to resemble how Zero looks in Ninpu's World, but this could purely be drawn out of their imagination.

Abilities:

Honeymoon- Ninpu surrounds Zero completely with her wings, forming a perfect defense with no blind spot, but no opening for attack.

Conception: Zero crouches down and spins, while Ninpu spreads her wings out and fires off hundreds of sword blades in every direction. This can also be used as a close-range attack.

Flight: Ninpu carries Zero high into the air without using the traditional Air Walking Technique.

History/Roleplay Sample

Character Background:Since Zero can remember, he has always been with his Sacred Beast, Ninpu. At first, she was the one who took care of him, sort of like how a mother takes care of her foster child. But over the years, Zero grew older, and no longer needed Ninpu's care.

One night, after making Zero's dinner and watched him go to bed, Ninpu sent off through the night, feeling that Zero would never need her by his side again. But luckily, Zero had managed to keep an eye on her with one of his Shikigami's and left the house to follow her.

After Zero finally caught up with her, he found her struck down by a rouge Shinigami, who was looking for strong fighters.

Enraged, Zero drew his sword, but because he didn't have a spirit in it, his opponent slashed him down. Fallen next to Ninpu, she apologized for getting him into this, but Zero only shut her up. He told her that no matter where she went, that he would always follow her.

Those words hit Ninpu straight in the heart, and she explained about Joushou to him. As their opponent came to finish them off, Zero reacted in an instant, activating Joushou and killing him in one blow.

After that, Nipu never left Zero's side, now assisting him like a wife, rather than a mother.
