Taichou stands at 173cm in stature, and 53kg in weight. Throughout Taichou's departure, she thinned out quite a bit, due to the physical and emotional stresses she's been put through; namely, the death of her beloved mentor. Much though remains the same. Her hairline arches to a widow's peak, where her onyx tendrils are lopped off angularly, beginning at a shaven undercut at the base of her neck, and ending just atop her breasts in an elongated sort of bob cut, though her hair has grown back out, frayed, and curling at the ends.
Her entire body is covered in traditional Japanese Irezumi — spanning from her chin, to her ankles — the shape of a winding serpent, wrapped around several decapitated heads, whose scales encircle ornate blue-purple rippled clouds, with negative space left, her skin acting as the defining swirls to complete them; accompanied by red peonies wherever the snake's body curls.
The face of The One-Winged Serpent is slender, her soft cheekbones, eyebrows and forehead set highly upon her face; her jawline soft, yet angular in contrast, venturing to a sloping, pointed chin, creating a heart shape. Her flaming amber eyes are rimmed by thickly set, dark eyelashes, and her eyelids are adorned with red shadow; Taichou's sort of trademark, if you will. Taichou's nose is flat, and rounded at the tip, a typical attribute of her Japanese lineage.
Cynical: Taichou often comes off as cold because she simply has a distaste for all sentient beings. Why? She found a pattern in them: they all deceive you, misuse your trust, abuse you, and leave you in the dust for their own personal gain. She does not hesitate to register her disapproval, either, as she is quite terse.
Honest: The way one earns future trust is by accurately reporting facts, even if they hurt. Taichou utilizes this by telling things as she sees them, for there's no benefit or gain in sugarcoating the obvious — people can be seriously harmed by being deluded with lies, and Taichou wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Tenacious: Taichou posesses an unrivaled will that refuses to submit, even under the most extreme of pressures. Some may call this foolish, but it's by this methodology that Taichou can improve, using the data and information gathered from both her failed, and successful attempts in all endeavors.
Loyal: Taichou is extremely loyal, to the point where she is willing to sacrifice herself in order for her loved ones, and comrades to be spared — there are no ends to this loyalty, even if Taichou's relationship with the person in question crumbles; she will remain faithful.
Broken: The death of her mentor, Mirja, has shaken her foundations, and caused her to question the meaning of her existence. As one of the forces that drove Taichou to achieve, and survive, is now gone, so too is her will to live. Taichou has taken to wandering the realm, with her current location being that of the Chaya Nation, where she's seeking out the tutelage of Ceal Maxwell, to give her a new purpose in life.
The Ryakketsu family was founded in the 3rd year of the Choho era by Zentaro, a Shinigami from the District 1 of West Rukongai. Zentaro had vacated his position as a member of the Executive Militia of the Omnitsukido, seeking an end to the brute force and bloodshed that was required of him in his duties; often having to assassinate his former comrades. He settled down, and met a woman named Takako, whom he then married, and relocated to their familial home just beyond the walls of the Seireitei. Together, the two had six children, of which the eldest was Kaku Ryakketsu. Throughout the centuries, the family thrived within the first District, and were often considered a peaceable family, regarded highly by the Gotei despite their humble origins.
In the year 1300, Kaku Ryakketsu, the eldest son of Zentaro and Takako Ryakketsu, entered the Shin'o Academy. He was an unruly teenager, with a gambling addiction, and quite a mouth on him; who never failed to get himself into trouble some way or another. Despite this, Kaku studied hard during his time at the Academy, and his specialty, which he was renowned for before his exile in 1470, was kido. It was as natural to him as breathing, and as he rose through the ranks of the Gotei, his love, and skill for it only grew. Kaku was exiled to the Human World from the Soul Society after breaking out of his imprisonment — for using the Forbidden Kido — alongside his friend Tessai Tsukabishi, on October 12th, 1470.
It's from here, that Taichou begins. Taichou Ryakketsu was conceived on December 16th, 1599, fathered by Kaku Ryakketsu and an exiled Shinigami known as Uta Aoyama, in the Fushimi Ward of Kyoto. On a brisk February morning in 1600, Kaku made a grave error in betting against the Tokugawa shogunate. Unable to pay his massive debt, he was sentenced by the Fudai daimyo to death by execution. Before his execution, he witnessed the brutal rape and torture of his pregnant wife, and unborn child.
Taichou was thrust into the Soul Society as an infant, and grew up in the slums of the 67th District of North Rukongai. She was a peculiar child who kept to herself, particularly because she didn't have anyone to rely upon. Warmth and food were commodities that she had to forgo, often fighting the other children and their parents for decomposing scraps of food — which she could indeed regenerate and make edible due to her natural affinity for kido. Her diet there consisted primarily of the left over feet and scraps of pork, and she was often subjected to being beaten for showing signs of her growing appetite.
Often subjugated by the repressed memories of her parents and the manner in which they died, Taichou found herself wandering without purpose, abandoning the dirt alley she considered home, in direction of the forests beyond Rukongai. Days passed, then weeks, and slowly, they began to blur into months — her iron geta clad feet dragging along the grounds; mind clouded by the image burned into the backs of her eyeballs — the Soul memory of her mother, with Taichou in-utero, having her throat hacked and cleaved by the blade of a dull tanto, ultimately bleeding to death.
On a day in late August, 2416, Taichou succumbed to her emaciation, and collapsed on the forest floor; howling in emotional and physical agony, only to be discovered by a muscular, pink haired woman by the name of Mirja Eeola, a Shinigami skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Mirja took Taichou in, clothed her, bathed her, and trained her, while building an unbreakable bond with the girl, becoming the only person Taichou had ever come to be fully dependent upon; a lofty weight upon anyone's shoulders.
Taichou was motivated by Mirja to enroll in the Shin'o Academy, the fuel to her fire being the murder of her parents, and subsequently, herself. She was at the top of her class in Kido, though merely a beginner in all other subjects she studied, though she was only able to fulfill her first week at the Academy — Mirja had gone missing from her stead with the Demoness known as Arianda Vael, to whom Mirja had been a sort of sexual pet. This sparked Taichou to abandon her studies hastily, as she set out in search for the woman she'd regarded as a friend, mentor, and sister. She scoured the places Mirja used to populate ferverishly, to no avail. Taichou ended up wandering throughout the Wastelands in the World of The Living, her feet bloodied and raw from pacing in her anxiety, her psyche no doubt damaged — only to be exacerbated when the Ryakketsu woman found herself surrounded by Hollows. Unable to defend herself due to her Zanpakuto denying her the ability to wield it, the most powerful of her enemies were two Meni Grande, who fired their Ceros through her stomach, retreating when they felt her facing her untimely death, until someone found her, that is.
None other than Arianda Vael found Taichou. She too had been searching for Mirja, and for some reason, spared Taichou's life while inviting her to stay at her Manor, as a maid. Arianda was able to heal Taichou's wounds to an extent, though her Za Koa could not seal the wound completely closed, consequently leading to the wound re-opening periodically, risking massive infection to Taichou's vital organs, and nervous system. Arianda was faced with a choice, fuse her flesh into Taichou, or let her die. She chose the first option, naturally; and so, on a late January day, Taichou became a half-Demoness, entering a covenant of flesh and blood with Arianda — becoming her rather incestuous, full-blooded sister. Briefly, Taichou was tasked in coping with her newly acquired Demon side, while juggling her duties as a Shin'o Academy student training to become an occupational Shinigami, and rekindling her relationship with her mentor, Mirja, and others as she grew further — or so she thought.

Taichou stands at a height of 173cm and weighs 53kg. The rigors of her recent journey, compounded by the emotional strain of losing her beloved mentor, have noticeably slimmed her figure. However, amidst these changes, much of her essence remains steadfast.
Her hair, previously fashioned in an angular bob with an undercut, has grown out, now adorned with delicate curls at the ends. Notably, bangs emerge from her widow's peak, framing her face with a newfound allure.
The countenance of The One-Winged Serpent maintains its slender elegance, characterized by softly contoured cheekbones, eyebrows, and forehead. Her jawline strikes a balance between softness and angularity, gracefully tapering to a pointed chin, evoking a subtle heart shape. Taichou's fiery amber eyes, framed by thick lashes, exude intensity, complemented by the signature touch of red shadow adorning her eyelids. Adding a striking element to her appearance, permanent red triangle markings now reside beneath each eye.
Cynical: Taichou often comes off as cold because she simply has a distaste for all sentient beings. Why? She found a pattern in them: they all deceive you, misuse your trust, abuse you, and leave you in the dust for their own personal gain.

Mended at Heart:
The Ryakketsu family traces its roots back to the 3rd year of the Choho era, established by Zentaro, a Shinigami hailing from District 1 of West Rukongai. Zentaro, weary of the violence inherent in his former role within the Executive Militia of the Omnitsukido, sought peace. He settled down with Takako, whom he married, raising six children including their eldest, Kaku Ryakketsu. Despite their humble beginnings, the Ryakketsu family gained esteem within the Gotei for their peaceful ways.
Kaku Ryakketsu, born in 1300, defied expectations at the Shin'o Academy. Despite his rebellious nature and penchant for gambling, he excelled in kido, earning renown before his exile in 1470 for employing Forbidden Kido alongside his friend Tessai Tsukabishi.
Taichou Ryakketsu's story begins in 1599 when she was born to Kaku Ryakketsu and Uta Aoyama, an exiled Shinigami, in Kyoto's Fushimi Ward. Taichou's life took a tragic turn in 1600 when her father's gambling debts led to his execution, and her mother suffered a horrific fate. Left orphaned, Taichou grew up in poverty in North Rukongai, surviving on scraps and enduring abuse.
Haunted by her past, Taichou wandered aimlessly until she was rescued by Mirja Eeola, a skilled Shinigami, in 2416. Under Mirja's guidance, Taichou found purpose and enrolled in the Shin'o Academy, excelling in kido. However, her studies were cut short when Mirja disappeared, prompting Taichou's desperate search.
Her quest led her to encounter Arianda Vael, who, despite their complicated history, saved Taichou's life. In exchange, Taichou became Arianda's maid and underwent a transformative ritual to restore her to full health, becoming her sister. Now, Taichou grapples with her newfound identity while pursuing her dream of becoming a Shinigami and reconnecting with her past.
-Immense Spiritual Power: Taichou posesses an immense amount of Reiryoku, but this is dampened by the fact that she has had no true training to hone in on the power that flows through her, thus sealing it away from her. In time, with training, Taichou will be able to utilize this ability fully, therefore being able to exercise control over her Reiatsu, which is currently difficult for her.
-Kido Prowess: A trait that Taichou discovered while she'd get in fights over food with other children, she noticed that she had the ability to heal her own wounds (Kaido), and when she'd be left with only scraps of food, often bruised and damaged, she realized that she could use the same restorative power to rejuvenate the scraps into something edible.
Over time, Taichou realized that she could use this ability to restore inanimate objects, but the catch was, the larger the object, the larger the amount of energy sapped from her. For instance, when restoring food, the level of exertion is similar to lifting something 22kg for an extended amount of time (2 posts). But when restoring wounds, the level of exertion for Taichou is much greater, as it requires the stopping/controlling of bleeding, reformation of muscular tissue/tendons, and the regrowth of skin over the damaged area. Restoring large wounds leaves her exhausted to the point where she often is left unable to restore any others.
As of late, Taichou has speculated that she could possibly extend this ability to restore weapons, but being as she cannot wield her Zanpakuto from the lack of spiritual training at the Academy, there's a level of uncertainty. Only time, and training will tell.
-Durability: Taichou is unnaturally durable, being able to withstand massive flesh wounds, such as two Ceros through the abdomen at once, emaciation, and psychological trauma for extended periods of time. This durability is fueled by both Taichou's affinity for kido, and her spiritual power, even while hampered currently. Conceptually, once Taichou can release her Spiritual Power in full, her durability will also increase, as it will when she is able to enhance her stamina through overall training. There is a limit to this durability, however, being that when she faces exhaustion, her durability decreases.
»Zanpakutou name:蝮 (まむし), Mamushi.
»Zanpakutou description: Mamushi takes the form of a nagamaki, measuring in at a lengthy 152.4 centimeters in length; of which 72.6 centimeters is the hilt itself. The hilt wrapping consists of black silk, atop a black, finely lacquered tsuka — while the blade is also crafted from black, 1566 Spring Steel, blood groove included.
Mamushi can be found hanging from Taichou's waist, holstered horizontally by a thick, silver cord suspended around her shoulder, fitting across her collarbone and chest — fastened from the hand guard, and the tip of the blade's sheath.
»Release phrase: 大蛇女神の剣を喰らえ; "Feast upon the sword of the Snake Goddess."

Taichou stands at a height of 173cm and weighs 57kg. Her recent journey has taken a toll on her body, and the emotional burden of losing her mentor has caused her to lose weight. Despite these changes, much of her core remains unwavering.
Her previous angular bob with an undercut has grown out, delicately curling at the ends. She now has bangs framing her face, which adds a newfound allure to her appearance.
The One-Winged Serpent is a slender, elegant woman with softly contoured cheekbones, eyebrows, and forehead. Her jawline has a perfect balance of softness and angularity, gracefully tapering down to a pointed chin, giving her a subtle heart shape. Taichou's fiery amber eyes are framed by thick lashes, exuding an intense look complemented by the signature touch of red shadow adorning her eyelids. Additionally, she has permanent red triangle markings beneath each eye, which add a striking element to her appearance.

- Honest: One can earn future trust by accurately reporting facts, even hurtful ones. Taichou utilizes this by telling things as she sees them, for there's no benefit or gain in sugarcoating the obvious. People can be seriously harmed by being deluded by lies, and Taichou wouldn't wish that on anyone.

- Independent: Taichou values her autonomy and self-reliance. She prefers to rely on herself rather than depending on others, believing that self-sufficiency is crucial for avoiding disappointment and betrayal.

The Ryakketsu family was founded by Zentaro, a Shinigami from West Rukongai's District 1, in the 3rd year of the Choho era. Zentaro established the family after leaving his previous role in the Executive Militia of the Omnitsukido due to the violence he witnessed. He settled with his wife, Takako, and raised six children, including his eldest son, Kaku Ryakketsu. Despite their humble beginnings, the Ryakketsu family became well-respected in the Gotei for their peaceful ways.
Kaku Ryakketsu, born in 1300, was rebellious and loved gambling. However, he excelled in kido at the Shin'o Academy and became famous for using Forbidden Kido alongside his friend, Tessai Tsukabishi, before his exile in 1470.
Taichou Ryakketsu, Kaku Ryakketsu's daughter, had a tragic life. Her parents, who were exiled Shinigami, were executed because of her father's gambling debts. Her mother also suffered a horrific fate while pregnant with Taichou. As a result, Taichou grew up in poverty in North Rukongai and endured abuse.
Taichou's life took a turn when she was rescued by a skilled Shinigami named Mirja Eeola in the early 2100s. Under Mirja's guidance, Taichou found purpose and enrolled in the Shin'o Academy, where she excelled in kido. However, her studies were cut short when Mirja disappeared, prompting Taichou to search for her.
Taichou's search led her to encounter Arianda Vael, with whom she had a complicated history. Despite their past, Arianda saved Taichou's life, and Taichou became her maid in exchange. However, Taichou carried a wound that refused to heal, a reminder of battles past. In an attempt to save her, Arianda offered a dangerous solution: a genetic fusion that bound their souls as full-blooded sisters. Taichou accepted, unaware of the darkness that would consume her.
After fusing with Arianda, Taichou was confronted with new powers and darkness threatening to consume her. Even though she was not a demon, she had developed dark traits that tormented her soul and tainted her spirit. Taichou struggled to accept her altered identity, and her fear and shame led her to leave the Shin'o Academy. In a desperate attempt to escape the ridicule she believed would come her way, she abandoned her training and comrades.
Alone and lost, Taichou turned to her zanpakutou, the Venomous Blade Mamushi, in search of solace and understanding. But Mamushi remained silent, its spirit dormant and unresponsive, as if waiting for something or someone.
In her solitude, Taichou delved into the secrets of her lineage, confronting the ghosts of her past and unearthing long-buried secrets. In the darkness of her despair, she discovered the truth: Mamushi's spirit was none other than her father, Kaku Ryakketsu. He had been silenced by the weight of his regrets and the mistakes that had influenced their shared destiny.
With newfound determination and purpose, Taichou embarked on a journey of self-discovery, seeking the wisdom of ancient spirits and unlocking the secrets of her lineage. Through trials of strength and spirit, she forged a bond with her father's spirit and awakened the true power of her zanpakutou.
Taichou emerged from her exile and returned to the Soul Society; her resolve strengthened, and her spirit renewed. With the guidance of her father's spirit and the power of her dark abilities, she resumed her training with newfound enthusiasm, ready to embrace her destiny as a shinigami and unleash the full extent of her potential.
Now living in a peaceful lakeside home in the Sierra Nevada mountains with her sister Arianda Vael, Taichou embarks on a journey of rediscovery, rekindling the bonds that bind their souls together. But even amidst the serenity of nature, Taichou is haunted by the echoes of her past. Her father's spirit now resides within the essence of her zanpakutou, once a guiding light in her life. Together, they confront the shadows that linger within their shared history, standing at the edge of introspection.
As the sun sets behind the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada, Taichou plunges deep into her soul, determined to overcome the darkness that threatens to consume her. With her father's presence resonating within her blade and her sister's unwavering support, she strides forward, ready to uncover the truths buried within.
Amidst the whispers of the wind and the gentle lapping of the lake's waters, Taichou has discovered a newfound strength. Her resolve burns as bright as the stars that adorn the night sky, even though the Soul Society may remain uncertain. This indomitable spirit will guide her through the trials as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She knows that her journey is far from over, but with her sister and her father's spirit as her companions, she is prepared to face whatever future challenges may come her way.
[KIDO]
- Bakudo: Serpent's Bind (蛇の拘縛, Hebi no Kōbaku): Taichou channels her spiritual energy into serpentine tendrils, which ensnare her target and restrict their movements. The bindings gradually tighten with each attempt to break free, making escape increasingly difficult. This spell is intended to immobilize rather than completely restrain the opponent, allowing for potential counters or escapes by skilled opponents. To counter the Serpent's Bind, opponents can weaken the grip of the serpentine tendrils by destabilizing their cohesion with disruptive spiritual energy. The spell lasts for two posts.
- Hadō: Venomous Fang (毒牙, Dokuga): Taichou unleashes a potent burst of spiritual energy in the form of a serpent's fang, with the intent of piercing her opponent. This spell inflicts moderate physical and spiritual damage, leaving enemies weakened and vulnerable but not incapacitated. The venom's effect may vary in intensity depending on the target's spiritual resilience. During the use of Venomous Fang, Taichou becomes vulnerable to counterattacks, which can reduce the effectiveness of her spellcasting and be exploited by her opponents. The spell lasts for two posts.
- Wings of the Serpent (蛇の翼, Hebi no Tsubasa): Taichou conjures ethereal snake-like wings that grant her heightened agility and maneuverability in battle for a brief duration. These wings provide a temporary advantage in evasive maneuvers and aerial combat, allowing her to reposition or evade attacks quickly. While Taichou is relying on her ethereal wings, her opponents can take advantage of any weaknesses or vulnerabilities in her defense. To increase their chances of landing successful attacks, opponents can capitalize on the openings created by Taichou's movements or focus on areas left unprotected by the wings. The spell lasts for one post.
[HAKUDA]
- Serpent's Blow (蛇の一撃, Hebi no Ichigeki): Taichou's fighting style is inspired by the fluid movements of a serpent, making her strikes quick and accurate. Her goal is to stun or momentarily incapacitate her opponents with finesse and agility, rather than defeating them outright. Even when infused with spiritual energy, her blows prioritize precision and speed over overwhelming strength. One possible way to counter Serpent's Blow is to adopt a defensive strategy that anticipates and dodges Taichou's movementss instead of directly engaging with them. Since her attacks prioritize speed and precision over raw power, creating distance and utilizing quick, evasive maneuvers could prove effective.
- Scale Breaker (鱗壊す, Uroko Kowasu): Taichou's expertise lies in disrupting her opponent's spiritual defenses with precision strikes aimed at weak points in their energy flow. Instead of aiming to destroy the barriers outright, she focuses on weakening and penetrating them, creating openings for follow-up attacks. This technique requires careful timing and targeting, relying on skill rather than brute force to overcome defenses. To counter Taichou's Scale Breaker technique, opponents could strengthen their spiritual defenses, interrupt her precise targeting, and take advantage of her reliance on timing and skill.
[HOHO]
- Serpent's Dance (蛇の舞 - Hebi no Mai): Serpent's Dance is a technique that enhances Taichou's agility and speed, allowing her to move gracefully and swiftly like a snake. However, using this technique strains her body and has some limitations. Taichou can quickly dodge attacks with her lightning-fast reflexes, but she can only use the technique briefly as it is exhausting. The effectiveness of Serpent's Dance depends on the terrain, as Taichou can move more fluidly on smooth surfaces. Despite her enhanced agility, Taichou is not invincible, and skilled opponents can predict her movements. During Serpent's Dance, Taichou's body is vulnerable, and prolonged combat or rough terrain can be effective counters.
[NATURAL]
- Eyes of the Serpent (蛇の眼, Hebi no Me): Taichou possesses eyes that shine with a mesmerizing glow similar to that of a serpent's gaze. As a result, she has an exceptional ability to perceive spiritual energy with great clarity. This heightened perception allows her to anticipate her opponent's movements and weaknesses precisely. However, instead of predicting every move, it grants her a heightened awareness that enables her to react more effectively to her opponent's actions. Opponents can take advantage of Taichou's reliance on her heightened awareness by baiting her into making incorrect assumptions or reacting prematurely.
- Serpent's Coffer (蛇箱, Hebihako): Taichou possesses an immense reservoir of spiritual energy within her, similar to a coiled serpent ready to strike. This energy empowers her attacks and can cause significant damage to her enemies, giving her an advantage on the battlefield. However, there are limits to this reservoir, and she must balance the potency of her attacks with strategic considerations to avoid exhausting her reserves too quickly. By managing her stored energy carefully, she can sustain prolonged battles and adapt to changing combat scenarios. However, if she depletes her reserves too quickly, she may become vulnerable in critical moments, making it crucial to manage her energy levels well. Opponents can gain an advantage by capitalizing on moments when Taichou is forced to use her stored energy defensively or to launch powerful attacks.
(Zanpakutou name)斬魄刀の名前: 蝮 (まむし), Mamushi, The Venomous Blade.
(Zanpakutou status)斬魄刀の状態: まどろんで待っている,Waiting in slumber.
(Zanpakutou summary)斬魄刀概要:
Mamushi is a nodachi, a traditional field sword with a long blade measuring 152.4 centimeters and a tsuka (handle) spanning 76 centimeters. The tsuka has a white silk wrapping atop a finely lacquered black surface, which contrasts elegantly with the blade. The blade gleams with a radiant green hue that reminds one of serpent scales, hinting at its venomous power.
Due to its length, Taichou carries Mamushi on her back, which makes drawing from her waist impractical. It is secured horizontally by a sturdy silver cord draped over her shoulder, passing across her collarbone and chest. This cord is fastened securely from the handguard to the tip of the blade's sheath, ensuring that Mamushi remains in place.
(Zanpakutou history)斬魄刀の歴史:Mamushi, The Venomous Blade, is a Zanpakuto that harbors the spirit of Kaku Ryakketsu, a once-renowned Shinigami who walked a path of brilliance and darkness. Born in 1300, Kaku was an enigmatic figure within the Soul Society. Despite his prodigious talent in Kido and swordsmanship, he was notorious for his rebellious nature and propensity for gambling.
Kaku's life took a dramatic turn at the Shin'o Academy, where he formed a deep bond with his fellow student Tessai Tsukabishi. Together, they delved into the arts of forbidden Kido, pushing the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable by Soul Society. Their dangerous pursuit of power led to their exile in 1470 after the two were caught using it to achieve their goals.
This exile marked the beginning of Kaku's downfall. He was hunted down and ultimately executed, leaving behind his daughter, who would later inherit Mamushi, The Venomous Blade. Kaku's actions haunted him even in death, and his regret for his choices weighed heavily upon his spirit.
(Zanpakutou spirit)剣の斬魄刀: Kaku is the embodiment of the spirit of Mamushi and has a unique blend of traits that have been shaped by his tumultuous past. While he may come across as rough around the edges with a sarcastic demeanor, Kaku's spirit is filled with love and regret. Despite his gruff exterior, he deeply cares for his daughter and seeks to guide and protect her, even if it means confronting his demons.
In the inner world of Mamushi, Kaku's presence is significant. He is surrounded by a landscape shrouded in shadows and veiled in mist. His spirit takes the form of a spectral figure wearing tattered robes, and his eyes reflect the weight of his regrets.
(Inner world)斬魄刀の内なる世界:
Deep within Mamushi's inner world lies a realm of darkness and shadows, a desolate forest landscape covered in mist. Serpentine pathways wind through the darkness, leading to a solitary figure seated upon a throne made of obsidian. This figure, shrouded in shadow, is Kaku Ryakketsu, the spirit of Mamushi.
Kaku's presence is palpable, and his gaze pierces through the secrecy surrounding his soul. Memories of past transgressions linger like specters in the gloom, haunting Kaku's every waking moment. Despite his exile and the passage of centuries, he remains bound to the echoes of his past, unable to escape the consequences of his actions.
Yet, amidst the shadows, a glimmer of hope flickers, a chance for redemption that burns bright in the darkness. Within Mamushi's inner world, Kaku seeks solace and sanctuary, an opportunity to atone for his sins and forge a new path forward. Here, the bond between father and daughter is most potent, transcending the barriers of time and space.
Together, they navigate the labyrinth of their shared history, confronting demons and challenges that threaten to tear them apart. In the crucible of their trials, they discover the true meaning of forgiveness and redemption, finding strength in their unity and resilience in the face of adversity.
(Sealed power):
- Shield of Shadows (影の盾, Kage no Tate): Taichou concentrates her spiritual energy on Mamushi and thrusts it deep into the ground. As the blade pierces the earth, shadows take shape and converge around her, forming a sturdy protective shield. This barrier, made up of the essence of darkness, is a defense against physical and spiritual attacks.
[GENERAL]
Release Phrase: 嘶け, Hiss.
Appearance: When released, Mamushi's blade turns into several agile entities resembling venomous snakes. These smaller constructs are very fast and move through the air with graceful fluidity, leaving behind a trail of toxic venom. Despite their size, they are as sharp and precise as their parent blade and can cut through obstacles with lethal accuracy. Each entity embodies the essence of a deadly serpent and is ready to strike with deadly precision at Taichou's command.
[SHIKAI ABILITIES]
- Serpentine Strike (蛇の一撃, Hebi no Ichigeki): Taichou possesses a unique ability to control the snake-like extensions of Mamushi with a simple movement of her wrist. These extensions can quickly and accurately strike her opponents with venomous energy, which can cause near-paralysis or weaken them based on Taichou's intention. Shields, barriers, or spiritual wards can help mitigate the effects of Taichou's strikes and buffer against their effects. This ability lasts for two posts.
- Venomous Whirlwind (毒の旋風, Doku no Senpū): Taichou unleashes a swirling vortex of dark energy shaped like a coiling serpent, which engulfs and ensnares the enemy in shadowy tendrils. The spell inflicts moderate spiritual damage and temporarily disorients the target, making them more susceptible to further attacks. However, skilled opponents may find ways to resist or counter the vortex. Opponents who strengthen their spiritual energy can resist the disorienting effects of the vortex and remain alert to subsequent attacks. The ability lasts for two posts.

A gentle breeze, scented with the earthy aroma of pine, softly rustled through the towering trees surrounding Seizan. The harmonious sound of the rustling leaves added to the serene melody of nature. Seizan, Taichou, and Arianda's sanctuary was a peaceful haven in the Sierra Nevada mountains, where time seemed to slow and worries dissipated. Amidst the forest's whispers, Taichou often found solace, letting her thoughts wander freely like the nearby stream's currents.
Today, the enchanting fragrance of pine needles drew Taichou's attention away from her reverie and towards the pristine surface of Seizan's crystalline lake. With a soft sigh, she emerged from her contemplation and gazed at the shimmering expanse. Taichou sat perched upon a moss-covered rock at the water's edge, a silent guardian amidst the serene landscape.
Shielding her eyes from the brilliant spring sunlight, Taichou greeted the wind with a soft smile that danced upon her lips like the fleeting touch of a butterfly. "Hisashiburi, Seizan," she murmured, her voice a gentle melody in the tranquil air. "I've missed you," she confessed, her words heavy with longing and affection, lingering like a delicate fragrance.
