Tetsuya Ayane (WIP)

Name: Tetsuya Ayane
Gender: Female
Age: 322
Appearance:
Tetsuya Ayane's a pretty young woman who sports that 'girl next door' quality that magazines are so fond of. Her face is heartshaped and her features are classic, with wide purple-gray eyes, impishly arched eyebrows, and a small, slightly turned up nose. Her skin is several shades fairer than the average; sunblock would be her best friend were she alive.
Ayane's gray hair falls just past her chin in a layered, slightly shaggy bob with few hints of a curl to it. Too short for pins or bands to keep it in check, the locks are held away from her face by her ever-present set of noise-canceling headphones. She usually keeps one headpiece tucked behind one ear in public; when she has them fully on, it's a sign of seriousness, or need for utmost concentration.
The young shinigami is rather small for a Japanese woman, just topping five feet and a bit of change. She's also on the slender side, but several hundred years of training in the Academy and then Squads have given her a somewhat muscular build. While she is never going to be a weightlifter, Ayane is stronger and tougher than she looks, and will usually tell you when you're close to breaking something.
After a few decades in the squads, she's made her own unique changes to the uniform to fight her fighting style. Not being fond of the way the sleeves flap about, she's added a series of buttons and stays along the armseams so she can roll and secure them above her elbows quickly. She's changed out the standard white sash for a purple one, and ties it on the left side to dangle along her hip. Her zanpakuto, about the size of a wakazashi, is tucked into her sash just far enough to the back that it doesn't interfere with her movements.

Personality: (How does your character act? What are their hobbies? What do they like and dislike? You get a picture of how personality works now.
"If your energy is as boundless as your ambition, total commitment may be a way of life you should seriously consider."
One of the younger shinigami in the Squads, Ayane is still growing out of that "I have to prove myself to my peers" attitude that elder shinigami know so well. Failure just makes her work harder, and she hasn't quite accepted her limits yet. She may never do so. An enthusiastic, energetic member of the forces, she often seems indefatigable if she's given a task to complete.
Even at rest, Ayane seems distracted, her eyes seeming to stare beyond. Small wonder, since the world around her has more distractions than for the average person. She's synesthetic, of the sound-color variety, meaning whatever she hears has an unexpected visual component tacked on. For her, it's waves and flashes of color that she really can't describe. Having been born that way, it's not really a handicap for her; she's learned to cope through the use of her headphones when noise gets to be too much. It does put an interesting twist on conversations with her, though. When she says someone sounds blue, Ayane actually means that.

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Amakudari - Descent from Heaven
Appearance:
Inner World:
Sealed Zanpakutô :
Her sealed zanpakutou is an average-sized katana with silver fittings sheathed in a simple black saya. Its tsuka is carved in the shape of feathers which wind about each other to form a mitsu tomoe - the three magatama representing man, earth, and sky. One 'feather' is painted black, the next one the base silver of the metal, while the third is a shining white. The tomoe pattern continues around the blade's fuchi and kashira. The handle is wrapped in ito of black and dove-gray silk, with menuki in the shape of musical notes placed beneath the wrappings on both sides of the hilt. A large, shining quartz crystal, etched with uta, the kanji for 'song' is imbedded in the butt of the hilt.
PhatomTech: no.
Release: Yorokobiute, Amakudari - rejoice and sing.
Shikai Description:
Upon release, the zanpakuto turns to mist and winds about Ayane, coalescing into a new form: a ringblade that resembles a silver bird eating its own tail. The 'feathers' arc out from the ring to form sharp stabbing edges. The crystal that was set in the zanpakuto's hilt serves as the bird's gleaming 'eye'.
The inside of the ringblade is dull, enabling Ayane to swing it around her arms and legs without injury, but it does sport a few handles here and there so she can keep a grip when needed. Amakudari knows her mistress and would never willingly cut her, but Ayane makes a point of rarely touching the outside of the ringblade out of respect for her partner.
Shikai Abilities: (What are the abilities your Shikai has? Do not overpower your shikai.)
Amakudari's abilities revolve around sound and sonics. When released, the shikai form absorbs sounds around it and uses it as a weapon. Since sound travels in waves, the attacks are most powerful close up; successive 'rings' from the blast radius lose power exponentially. The only way to end the barrage is by having Ayane silence Amakudari by sealing her, or by rendering the the shinigami unable to fight.
Ayane's maximum range for her attacks is currently about one hundred yards. Anything further is ineffective.
Objects and people that contact or are cut by Amakudari directly receive the full concentrated force of the sonic waves, which surround the blade and enhance the cutting edge like a buzzsaw. Ayane's fighting style is a mix of hakuda and kido, with occasional blasts or strikes from the zanpakuto as needed.
Ichi no Kotoba: Isshou (First Word: Laughter)
Her standard distance attack is performed by gripping the zanpakuto and swinging it an arc in front of her. Amakudari lets off a cone-shaped burst of sonic waves that slash the opponent.
Ni no Kotoba: Sasayaki (Second word: Whisper)
A strike of the zanpakutou on the ground at Ayane's feet along with the spoken command activates Sasayake. It sends a sonic pulse through the ground in concentric waves, like Doppler radar. When it reaches a target, it explodes upwards for damage. Again, the farther out the wave has to travel, the less damage it does.
San no Kotoba: Kansei (Third Word - Battle Cry)
By swinging the zanpakutou in circles over her head, Kansei activates. The prongs stretching out from Amakudari's blade begin to vibrate filling the zone around the shinigami for about ten feet with extreme sonic ripples. Ayane is immune to the power, but opponents within that area are deafened (and in some cases, blinded due to the pain) by the sound bursts for a time relative to their reiatsu strength when compared to Ayane's. For example, people close to her in strength may be stunned for a few seconds, opponents weaker than her will probably be unable to move for a few minutes, and captains will shrug it off completely.

Roleplay Sample:
There was a moment of panic as Tetsuya Ayane found herself snagged at the collar by the Hollow's curving claws. Thankfully she was just far enough that the attempted rake hadn't done much more than leave a few bearable slashes on her back, but satisfied with its purchase, it cackled and used its greater strength to drag her back into range.
Don't panic, Ayane! she thought to herself. You can do this!
Remembering her training, she grabbed onto the hollow's arm, grimaced at the feel of the ghostly flesh beneath, and used it as a pivot point for leaping up to kick the thing in the face. Not for the first time, Ayane blessed the wisdom of whoever created the shinigami uniform. It was like a loose skin, allowing the young shinigami to twist and turn even when grabbed. She paid no mind as the cloth ripped. Her teachers in Academy had reiterated till they were blue in the face that that was what the uniform was made to do; she could always get a new one.
Due to the slightly awkward angle, her aim wasn't entirely true. Ayane'd been hoping to kick the hollow in the head, but the edge of her foot slammed into the Hollow's...nose...or whatever that proturbation on its face was. She doubted it needed to breathe - she certainly didn't, being dead - but there was no doubt that the strike hurt just as badly as it would have on a normal human. The creature howled at the unexpected pain, and its grip twitched open on reflex as it staggered backwards.
Now free, the girl took stock of her own injuries for a second. She could feel the cuts the claws had left, and they throbbed as cold air brushed across her back. I can ignore that for now. However, she made a mental note to stop by the 4th division's barracks before she filed her report; just because they didn't hurt didn't mean they wouldn't do that much spiritual damage.
All right. There we go. the gray-haired shinigami leapt back a few more feet to give herself proper distance from her foe as it showed signs of recovering. Her hand went to her zanpakutou, swiftly sliding it free from its sheath; she should have had her out earlier but she hadn't had time.
But now...
"Yorokobiute, Amakudari!"
She heard as much as felt her partner's quiet laughter as the blade dissolved into smoke and wound around her, then solidified into her hoopblade form.
Took you long enough, Ayane-chan. Were you planning on dealing with it without me? Amakudari's mindvoice intertwined with hers, filling her mind with stars and chimes.
As if, the shinigami snorted mentally, as her hands settled on the weapon's grip. Now, shall we finish this?
Oh my goodness, yes. And you might start by DUCKING.
"Wha --" Ayane returned her attention to the matter at hand just as the Hollow, recovered from the smacking she'd given it, lunged towards her with claws outstretched. Swiftly, the girl brought up the hoop in a black, turning as she did so and ducking her head. The talons met the blade and slid off with a metallic screech that made yellow waves swim in front of her eyes; if they'd fully connected with her, she probably would have been decapitated. As it was, their tips left a thin line of blood along Ayane's browline that burned with acidic fire.
Do try not to die, Ayane.
Trust me, it's the last thing I plan on doing! the shinigami snapped back. She brought the hoopblade up sharply, slashing the hollow from stem to stern, then kicked it hard in the chest, driving it back once more.
Now.
The diamond in the weapon glinted as she swung it in a sharp arc towards the hollow. “Ichi no Kotoba – Isshou!” she commanded.
A shriek erupted from the zanpakutou, and Ayane could see the purple wave of energy range out, striking her foe in the chest and taking him down. But she was already in motion before the wave hit him, springing high into the air.
The last thing the Hollow saw was the young shinigami plunging down from a high leap, bringing the edge of the zanpakuto down to cleave through its head.
