Shinji Hirako

Vizard Template

Name:Shinji Hirako

Appearance Age: 17-18
True Age:???
Gender:Male


Personality:
Shinji is somewhat comical, adding a bit of levity to situations that
are otherwise serious. He has a flippant attitude under normal
circumstances and seems to like annoying his associate, Hiyori Sarugaki,
which usually earns him a slap from one of her sandals. She, in turn,
shows him absolutely no respect and frequently insults and attacks him;
although he is no better, frequently making faces or quick insults at
her expense. He also appears to have a history of referring to cute
girls he meets as his 'first love', complete with a deadpan look on his
face despite the obvious lie (he apparently never did this with Hiyori,
further annoying her). He also apparently enjoys listening to jazz
music, as he had a phonograph that played his vinyl records in his days
as a Captain.
Underneath this, though, he is quite perceptive in terms of
regarding other people, and during his time as a captain, was one of the
few people who appeared suspicious of his then-lieutenant Aizen, and
could apparently sense or see through some of his illusions. He also
quickly notes parts of Urahara's personality. Aizen even admitted to
being somewhat intimidated by him. Whenever angered or in combat, Shinji
is fairly calm, serious, and level-headed. During a conversation with
Ukitake, it was implied that he had been a long-running captain.
However, he is not included in Shunsui Kyōraku's list of captains from 100 years before (now 200 years before, because that was said during the Pendulum arc).
Appearance:

Shinji has brown eyes and jaw-length blonde hair with a straight cut
and many of his facial expressions reveal his upper teeth. He wears a
standard Karakura school uniform, though he usually wears a gray
long-coat, shirt and tie, a newsboy cap (though he commonly forgoes
wearing the coat and cap). Shinji appears to have a pierced round ring
in the middle of his tongue.
When he was a captain, his hair was very long, reaching down to
the lower part of his back. He wore the standard Shinigami robes with a
standard captain's haori.
Height:176 cm (5'9")
Weight:60 kg (132 lbs.)


Zanpakuto Name:Sakanade (逆撫, Counter Stroke)
Zanpakuto Spirit:Unknown
Zanpakuto World:Unknown
Sealed Zanpakuto Appearance:In its sealed form, it resembles a normal katana. The hilt and sheath are red and its guard is shaped like an hour-glass.

Release Phrase:Collapse" (倒れろ, taorero)


Shikai Appearance:

In its Shikai state the pommel becomes a large ring that allows Sakanade
to rotate around Shinji's hand without him actually gripping any part
of the Zanpakutō. This movement relates to his Shikai Special Ability.
The first few inches of the blade are covered by an extension of the
crossguard. Sakanade's blade is straight and slim with the tip ending in
a slanted razor-like edge instead of being tapered to a point. There
are five holes along the sword's length.

Shikai Abilities: Sakanade's Shikai ability creates an inverted world (逆様の世界, sakasama no sekai).
When spun the sword creates a pink mist, those who smell its pleasant
aroma fall subject to an optical illusion. Shinji describes the release
technique as something like a trump card. Up and down, left and right
as well as forward and backward are opposite. It is not just the sense
of direction that is changed; the opponent's eyesight, direction of
incoming attacks, and injury locations are also inverted. Shinji claims
that countering the damage from the inverted directions simply by
processing it all within the mind is not possible. No matter how
powerful the opponent even if one is accustomed to fighting in that
particular way, their body will not adapt and will continue to fight by
reflex, which causes it to continuously succumb to the power's effect.The effect of the inverted world can be targeted at or neglected from specific opponents, making it ideal for use in group fighting.

Cero:
Shinji gathers energy that is displayed in a horizontal line at his
fist. He then releases a crimson Cero with an extremely wide arc and
devastating force. The power of the Cero from a distance is powerful

Background/Roleplay Sample

Background:Approximately 110 years ago Shinji in his capacity as the 5th Division captain was seen getting ready to attend a captain's promotion ceremony and greeting his lieutenant Sōsuke Aizen
upon his arrival. Shinji questioned Aizen's sense of fashion upon
seeing that he was only wearing his standard Shinigami robes, prompting
the two to start a debate of the necessity of wearing different clothes
considering the event. When Aizen commented on the music Shinji was
listening to, Shinji explained that it was jazz and it was all the rage
in the world of the living at the time. The two made their way to the
First Division Headquarters to attend the promotion ceremony.


Upon the doors opening Shinji was ambushed by lieutenant Hiyori Sarugaki of the 12th Division, though she was soon reprimanded by captain Love Aikawa of the 7th Division.
When Shinji finally gathered himself he began to taunt Hiyori enraging
her even further. As the group proceeded inside Shinji asked Love what
the head count was looking like for the ceremony, to which Love
responded that almost everyone was already there. Shinji stated that he
saw that no one from the 11th Division
had shown up. Love explained that was the Eleventh Division's Captain's
way, as he did what he wanted. Shinji replied by saying just because he
was the 10th 'Kenpachi' no one had the guts to keep him in check. He
went on to say that he couldn't understand why they let such a loose
cannon like him become captain. Love tried to ease him explaining that
there was no use getting upset over it, as the chosen 'Kenpachi' had
always held the position of the 11th Division captain. As it was a sort
of legacy and it would not change any time soon.


Love went on to say that if Shinji wanted to complain about anything
then he should complain about the fact that the previous Kenpachi's
ineptitude made it possible. The two captain's conversation was
interrupted by the arrival of the 8th Division captain Shunsui Kyōraku being accompanied by his lieutenant Lisa Yadōmaru and 13th Division captain Jūshirō Ukitake.
Shunsui accused the two of gossiping behind others backs. Shinji then
bore witness to the conversation between Shunsui and Ukitake about who
had been captain the longest and what had happened to the previous 12th
Division captain Kirio Hikifune. He made note that they were going through captain's quicker than toilet paper. Shinji was later seen waiting in line with the other captains as the newly appointed 12th Division captain Kisuke Urahara
arrived to the meeting. He was noticeably unimpressed at the demeanor
and first impression Urahara made at his promotion ceremony.

Later the following night he approached Urahara and told him why Hiyori
was giving him problems as she had looked up at her previous Captain as a
mentor and a mother-figure. Shinji continued by giving him advice on
how best to go about being a captain. He then remarked to Urahara that
he could tell he wasn't the type who did what other people told him
anyway, so it didn't matter what he said. Either way Shinji explained
that he felt Urahara was the same kind of man as like him, so he should
just meddle in his own business. While leaving Shinji asked, "How long
do you plan on watching us from over there". Using his hand Shinji
revealed Aizen concealed behind some form of camouflage, Aizen
complimented his captain and asked him when did he realize he was there,
to which Shinji replied "When you were still in your momma's womb",
he then ordered Aizen to follow him. Aizen then commented on how scary a
person Shinji was, to which Shinji replies that he was the scary one.

9 years later , Shinji and Aizen were walking around the Seireitei when they came across Urahara, Hiyori and 3rd Seat Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
While Shinji once again engaged in a childish fight and argument with
Hiyori, Aizen asked Urahara if he had heard the news to which Urahara
tells him he hadn't. Shinji proceeded to take up the tale and told
Urahara about the series of strange deaths that had taken place in
Rukongai. Shinji also informed him that the 9th Division had been sent to handle the investigation.

Later that night Shinji was dispatched with Love Aikawa, Rōjūrō Otoribashi, Hachigen Ushōda, and Lisa Yadōmaru to investigate the disappearance of Rukongai residents, captain Kensei Muguruma and the members of his division by captain-commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.Upon arrival at the investigation sight Shinji fended off what appeared
to be a Hollowfied Kensei from attacking Hiyori, who had been sent
there to collect samples by request of the 9th Division.

With the arrival of the rest of the investigation squad, they pondered
whether the creature was actually Kensei with Shinji stating that he
didn't know if it was Kensei but that if they didn't draw their swords
they would be as good as dead. After Kensei let out a loud roar Shinji
picked up Hiyori and backed up, he then watched as Love proceeded to
engage Kensei in battle.
When Hiyori pleaded with them to stop fighting because it was Kensei
she began to cough. Shinji told her to be quiet as they had to stop him
especially if it was Kensei.When a Hollowfied Mashiro Kuna
appeared behind Rose and attacked him, Shinji called out to her so that
her attention would be directed at him. Mashiro proceeded towards
Shinji and attacked him but he blocked her. He was assisted by the
timely arrival of Hachi who used Bakudō #75. "Gochūtekkan" to
subdue her. Hachi commented on how fast the others were in getting
there. Hachi noticed Love having a hard time fighting a Hollowfied
Kensei and used Bakudō #63. "Sajo Sabaku" to restrain him as
well. He then asked Shinji what was going on and what had happened to
Mashiro and Kensei, but they were interrupted by Kensei breaking free.

As Kensei proceeded to attack the others Hachi used Bakudō #99. "Kin"
to finally bring Kensei down. Shinji commented to Hachi that he was
impressed that he used a level 99 binding spell without the incantation.
Shinji then asked Hachi if he could fix Kensei and Mashiro with Kidō,
but Hachi plainly told him that he couldn't if he didn't know what the
problem was. Suddenly Hiyori began to cough uncontrollably, Shinji asked
if she was alright and told Hachi to start with her first but he was
interrupted by Hiyori who began to choke out that she wanted him to let
her go.


Hiyori then Hollowfied and attacked Shinji with a slash across his chest
much to everyone's disbelief. It was then that a darkness falls around
the rescue squad and they were attacked by an unseen assailant. Shinji
was the only one conscious after this and upon the darkness lifting he
saw the assailant to be Kaname Tōsen,
Muguruma's 5th seat. Shinji asked him how could he betray his captain,
it was then that Shinji's attention was caught by the arrival of Aizen
and Gin Ichimaru. Aizen explains that he had not betrayed anyone and that he was very faithful and he had just faithfully followed his orders.

Shinji admitted he wasn't as surprised as he let on and Aizen asked if
he suspected him and stated that he had expected that much from his
captain. Shinji then explained how he knew something was dangerous about
Aizen and that he couldn't be trusted. It was for those reasons that
Shinji chose him to be his lieutenant and so that he could keep an eye
on him. Aizen then told him that he was grateful, as due to his deep
seated doubts he didn't suspect a thing. When Shinji stated that he
already made it known that he had suspected him, Aizen elaborated
stating that he didn't realize that the whole past month, it wasn't
Aizen walking behind him. Aizen proceeded to explain the power of his Zanpakutō, Kyōka Suigetsu.
Aizen informed Shinji that if he was as close to Aizen as other
captains were to their lieutenants he would have been able to see
through it by picking up on subtle differences between Aizen and the man
acting as Aizen's double.


It was his lack of trust that kept them from getting close and as such,
allowed Aizen to fool Shinji. He also explained that he could have
always refused to be Shinji's lieutenant but decided against that action
because Shinji's suspicious nature made the position ideal to carry out
his plans. Aizen thus laid the blame for Shinji and his comrades'
current predicament at the feet of Shinji. Shinji was provoked by this
statement and that triggered a speed-up in the Hollowfication process.
Aizen thanked him for being so easily provoked and makes a note of the
observed connection between Hollowfication and agitated emotions.

Shinji asked Aizen what Hollowfication
is but Aizen refused to speak on it any further. He then ordered Tōsen
to finish them and after Hiyori was attacked, Shinji faced off against
Tōsen. Shinji stated that he did not know what was going on but he
assumed that nothing had gone exactly as planned just yet. He then
remembered that Aizen said agitation speeds up the process, so he
resolved to remain calm and level-headed. He began to battle Tōsen
beating the traitor back. Shinji continued to battle and soon gained the
upper hand sending Tōsen crashing into the ground. But before Shinji
could continue the fight the Hollowfication process advanced further and
incapacitated him.

Just as Aizen was about to finish off Shinji, captain Kisuke Urahara and Kidō captain Tessai Tsukabishi of the Kidō Corps,
appeared and saved him from destruction. Aizen, Gin and Tōsen made
their escape and Tessai used Forbidden Kidō to preserve and transport
the rescue squad to the 12th Division barracks. In his lab, Urahara
tried to reverse the process using his created item, the Hōgyoku. Unfortunately, it ended up as a failure, not having the desired effect Urahara expected.

The next day, Urahara and Tessai were arrested under the orders of the Central 46. The Hollowfied Shinigami were sentenced to execution as hollows. However, before any of their sentences could be executed, both were rescued by Yoruichi Shihōin, who brought them to a secret underground area. In the secluded area, she had also brought Hachi and the other Hollowfied Shinigami, along with the prototype for the new Gigai
that Urahara was working on. With that epiphany, Urahara resolved to
make ten Reiatsu-blocking Gigai to aid him, Tessai, and the eight
victims escape to the real world, where they hoped to find a way to undo
the Hollowfication process.



Role Play Sample:"Hiyori! Watch out for that.... stone. Too late," said Shinji to Hiyori but it was to late as she had trip over a stone and fell on the ground with a scratch on her hand. Hiyori , who is approaching him while holding her sandal with an angry face. With a strong force , she slapped him with her sandal.Ignoring the pain , he treated Hiyori. She, thanked him and he was shocked to see that she was nice. He smiled at her and walked away, leaving her behind. She quietly walked from behind , trying to do a sneak attack on him. He realized this because he can hear the footsteps of Hiyori coming towards him. She was holding her sandal trying to hit him but he quickly retaliated and gave her a push. She fell and he just gave her a smile and helped her to get up .

"Come on , lets go. We have something to do!" said Shinji. Before he leave , he gave a silly face to Hiyori. She felt angry and quickly got up so he quickly ran before she could have the chance to smack him with her sandal."Shinji! Come here you!" shouted Hiyori while holding her sandal. He ran very fast and felt tired so he stopped and later he saw Hiyori was no longer following him so he teased her for being slow. "Who you're calling slow?" said Hiyori suddenly in front of him. Again , she slapped him with her sandal. He fell and stick his tongue towards her. She gave him another slap and he gave a loud scream. A scream of pain to be exact. After a while, Shinji got up., dusting himself off and walked away. Before he walked , he stick his tongue towards Hiyori again. So both of them did the same thing again and again until sunset. The skies turned dark and the moon and stars showed up. He just went home and left Hiyori behind.
