[Spirit Class 7] Igendai Gyakusuma

Coding In Template By: [THEFROST]

» Name: Igendai Gyakusuma
» Alias: Igen
» Age: 57
» Gender: Male

» Association: Gotei United/ First Division

» Appearance Written:

Igendai is about 5'11" in height, but rather slim for his size. He has slight orchid-colored eyes and was born with light red hair, though over time it has gotten much lighter, even gaining some white streaks, leading him to believe that it is the result of having to wash blood out of his hair so often (This is not the case). While Ingen often doesn't show much of his frame thanks to his Uniform, he is on the thin side, something which annoyed him in his younger days.



» Personality:

Igen would often describe himself as someone mundane and thoroughly uninteresting. But most who meet him will disagree soundly. In addition to being rather friendly and outgoing, he has a somewhat calm and laid back expression which at times can convince those unfamiliar with him to believe his own assessment. That said, the young man has a considerable talent in getting himself into fights, be it rushing into danger at the first sign of trouble or his general penchant to often pit himself against others in an effort to prove himself. A quality which is at ends with his general uncaring demeanor when others might insult or belittle him or his accomplishments. But rather, it is his competitive nature and his own riling at the boasting of others which most often drives him to these acts.

Becoming a Shinigami only exacerbated this quality, which caused initial tension with him and some of his squadmates, but ultimately culminated into a budding charisma within the young man. Through his unerring and incessant competitive nature, he manages to bring out the will to improve in others. Meanwhile, his otherwise laid-back and cool-headed demeanor save him from the sort of hotheaded personality traps that would make others with a similar competitive streaks reckless.



» History:

Originally born in the Inner Rukongai to a middle-class family. Despite warnings from his elders, Ingen would very often wander into the further districts when finding other children to play with. At an early age, he witnessed the sort of struggle and suffering that less fortunate children in the Rukongai faced, often resulting in ridicule or resentment from these children given his being born into a more favorable environment. Indignant and proud, these exchanges would often result in fights that would often leave him badly beaten and even robbed by the peers that refused to respect him. Despite this, Ingen would tirelessly return to these areas, suffering the beatings and sharp words of his peers until eventually he began to fight back.

While this did very little to pay off for the skinny little punk, eventually his determination began to produce results. And despite their initial disdain, some of these once-enemies garnered a bare minimum of respect for Igen.

This gift of budding respect for his strength would be the beginning of a fixation for the young man. Though sparse among the discontent, these meager instances of earned clout would fuel a rapidly growing penchant for fighting and competition. Though for many, the growing strength of the young man fueled only further resentment. Even so, Ingen was relentless in trying to change the hearts and minds of the rest.

As Ingen grew older, he would continue to fight, but grew out of his needs and desire to be acknowledged by others and ultimately sought to improve himself for his own self-satisfaction. Even though he would continue to suffer vicious beatings and be drawn into fights over his competitive nature, this only fueled his desire to grow stronger.

It was one of his few friends, however, that would convince him to sign up as a shinigami.
After passing the entrance examination to enter Shino Academy, Ingen was once again drowned in setback. While his own natural toughness and tenacity served him well in learning the fundamental ideologies and basics of being a Shinigami, his proficiency tests in Kido and his understanding of his own Zanpaku'to lagged behind some of his other more talented peers. And though his capabilities were perfectly passable as far as the curriculum was concerned, he remained unsatisfied with his own comparative prowess compared to the stars in his class. But unlike his bull-headed nature, he found that simple toughness and determination were little help in the fields of his Zanpaku'to relationship and the subtle arts of Kido. All the same, he graduated on schedule from the Shino Academy and was enlisted into First Division.



» Equipment:



» Racial Abilities:

Short-range Hoho Expert:
While hardly among the top in his class, Ingen's talent with shunpo and related derivations is more than passable. His stamina allowing him to use the ability more often than usual, he tends to favor utilizing it only over short to medium distances due to an incident involving a stone barricade in the academy. In ranges shorter than 20 meters, he has considerably higher precision than others at his level, but beyond that level his expertise falls off to below average for his level.

Kaido Natural:
Compared to his talent with normal Kido, Ingen has a natural talent for anatomy, medicine, and Kaido in general. As such while he is passable with normal Kido, his talent with Medical Spells is comfortably above his other spells., particularly in thanks to how often he winds up providing his own medical treatment whenever he injures himself.

Kaido - Jinjashō (Shrine Bell)
A Kaido administration method that Ingen came up with. Rather than reactionary treatment, this technique saturates a section of the body in anticipation of injury, stimulating the body's natural ability to recover without requiring the precision of reactionary healing thus making it very useful for application in the midst of combat. As a result, this technique can garner 2 posts of regeneration as if the target had a Regeneration skill equal to the user's Kido skill once rtiggered by an injury (must be severe enough to cause bleeding). However, the technique is not very reiryoku efficient and as such Ingen can only use the ability 4 times per thread. Additionally, the effect has a limited area of effectiveness (A single limb, the head, 1/2 of the torso) that can be designated as the target, and energy can easily be wasted if the enemy is able to sense or anticipate where this technique is being applied and simply changes targets.

Shunkō (瞬閧, Flash War Cry):

Igen has developed his very own version of this technique. By circulating Kido through and around his body, he is capable of armoring his body and augmenting his strikes with explosive bursts of Reiryoku.

Igen’s innate Shunkō element is Ice, and while the Shunko itself manifests as billowing plumes of deep pink Reiryoku which can be mistaken for flames, these bursts of energy rapidly drop temperatures and can erupt into massive bursts of ice.

Because of Igen’s incredibly low-profile Shikai and lacking expenditure of energy toward the use of his Zanpaku’to constantly, rather it is Shunko that represents Igen’s ability to boost his capabilities. Relying on the Ability in order to generate the sort of explosive boost in capabilities that befits a Shinigami, giving a boost similar to Bankai scaling with Zanjutsu off an average between Hakuda and Kido rounding up (Elite Hakuda and Advanced Kido is Elite. Master Kido and Advanced Hakuda is Elite).



» Zanpakutô Name: 虎王族 Koōzoku (Tribe of the Tiger King)

» Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance: Igen has yet to actually see his Zanpaku'to spirit, as it remains completely hidden in the forest of his Inner world.

» Inner World: Igen's inner world spans an enormous Mountain Range with bright vibrant valleys and peaks which reach to tremendous heights. However, unlike normal mountains, a forest grows all the way to the tops, shrouding the towering giants themselves in greenery.

» Zanpakutô Appearance: In it's Sealed form, Koōzoku takes the form of a Guandao about 2 meters in length, the blade itself with a length of 55cm. The bladed section is surved with wave-like teeth along the blunt end of the weapon, which have sharp points.

» Sealed Zanpakutô Power:

Shinko 寝虎 (Sleeping Tiger)
When not in use, Igens zanpaku'to is able to enter a sort of spiritual form, breaking down into small pieces which cling to Igen. These small pieces tend to hide in the folds of his outfit making them hard to spot. This ability can't be used in combat, other than reforming the weapon. Igen is incapable of freely breaking down and reforming his Zanpaku'to during combat. This does however make his Zanpaku'to particularly easy to fix given it's penchant for simply putting itself back together. This ability to easily repair only applies to it's sealed state, damage taken during Shikai and Bankai are not healed so easily.



» Shikai Release Phrase: Pay your respects.

» Shikai Release Action: Igen needs only say the name of his Zanpaku'to for it to enter it's released form.

» Shikai Appearance: On release, if it isn't already, Igen's Zanpaku'to breaks down into pieces which then form a fully living, breathing Tiger. With bright orange and black stripes and a white underbelly one comes to expect from such a creature. Koōzoku is about 4 meters from snout to tail and about 1.2 meters tall.

» Shikai Abilities:

Divine King Yin Seal:

During combat or as needed, Igen's Shikai (The Tiger) dissolves save for it's stripes which are transferred to Igen. The marking “王” appearing somewhere on Igen's body: His hand, chest, thigh, ect. However, during combat it will begin to spread stripes along his body. These stripes mark him as royalty, and can extend up to 15 meters from his body, f forming hard steel-like blades or claws among other forms along the user’s frame. . These stripe blades have durability/cutting power scaling off Igen’s Zanjutsu. The stripes however, are not an absolute defense and while they are exceptionally good at fending off melee attacks, they are still, by nature: stripes. IN their general configuration they leave gaps and while the stripes can move to intercept, nonphysical attacks such as beam hits and explosions can damage around the stripes themselves. While the stripes can be consolidated to fill in the gaps, that will leave other areas of his body unprotected. At most, the stripes can only protect 40% of Igen's body completely.

This dark mark represents the Yin to Igen's soul. The dark borders which separate himself from his surroundings. Firm definitions and markings which both protect himself and his kingdom, as well as claim territory as his own by extending past himself. This Seal is that of Claimed Territory and his Authority over himself and his Possessions.

This mark can instead be applied to an Ally, marking them with the "竜王" Kanji. Up to 2 allies can be marked in this way without losing the ability to keep his own stripes.


Silent Killer:
During Shikai, Koōzoku does not release an explosive expenditure of Reiryoku and Igen's spiritual pressure does not change. Because of this limited expenditure of Reiryoku, Igen’s Shikai does NOT provide a percentile boost in power and capabilities that normal Shinigami would.
