Kokoro Kiseki

First Name: Kokoro

Last Name: Kiseki

Gender: Female

Age: Real Age: unknown to anyone but Mayuri and his team, looks: Around 16~18. Her body doesn't age.

Appearance:
Her Gigai form is seen in the picture. In Shinigami-Form, she carries around her Zanpakuto on the back, a completely white sheath with some blue tone in it. She is only 5 feet tall, making her a very small cybernetic Shinigami.

Reiatsu Color: Light blue, almost white

Personality: Many Shinigami are known for being protective for civilians, good comrades and generally caring souls. This all does NOT really fit Kokoro, however... She generally doesn't seem to care for anyone around her. Even towards her 'creator' and 'father' Mayuri, she never seems to open up, mostly keeping her thoughts to herself and her Zanpakuto-Spirit. As long as she doesn't have to use a Gigai, she never gives away her sword, even rumored to have it lying besides her in bed. Of course, nobody would dae to try to check if this rumor was true.
If Kokoro DOES interact with others, something that she can rarely avoid somehow, she has some problems understanding emotion, mostly affection of people under each other. That can mean friendship, rivalry or even love - she knows the basic concepts for them, but can't really feel them strong herself. This is due to an error in her 'programming', that weakens feelings, even though she still has them all.
In battles, it can be hard to bring her out of her concept, since she can keep her cool pretty good. However, that doesn't help much to get less injured on her part, since her fighting style is actually very uncontrolled and wild, using her two-handed blade almost always with one hand.

Zanpakutô Spirits Appearance:

Zanpakutô Name: Skeith

Sealed Zanpakutô : In it's sealed form, Skeith looked like a two-handed, rather long Katana. The hilt was dark blue, while the blade was completely normal, the guard silver. Since Skeith is a permanent-release type, this form will most likely never be seen.

Shikai Description: In the permanent-release state of Skeith, the blade still is a very long two-handed Katana, though Kokoro mainly uses it with one hand thanks to her enhanced strength in the body. The material of the weapon, however, changes drastically.
Instead of a normal steel katana, Skeith is made out of ice. The blade is light blue collored, the hilt is dark blue with a black piece of cloth wrapped around, while the guard is snow white and circular. The cutting edge of the ice blade is white and in a slight 'wave' pattern over the length of the weapon. All in all, Skeith is one of the most beautiful swords in Seireitei. The sword is just as long as she is tall. Upon pulling it out of it's sheath, said sheath desintegrates till it is needed again.

Shikai Abilities: All of Skeiths abilities are passive, none of them need to be activated. They all become active once the sword is drawn.
Cold Aura: As long as Skeith is drawn, the air around Kokoro cools down considerably. She herself has no problems with the cold thanks to her sword, and can block off ice-based attacks easier than others without a similliar ability.
Enhanced Strength: In addition to her artificial body, Kokoro gains another strength boost when wielding her weapon.
Reiatsu Cut: Since Kokoro is rather useless with Kido and has no energy based attacks, she developed this technique. Her Reiatsu is constantly flowing through the blade, increasing it's force slightly.
Sharp Ice: Even though the ice looks fragile, it is as hard as tempered steel and sharp like a razor blade. This can easily be underestimated and lead to some nasty wounds.
Cold Blood: While fighting, Kokoros whole body cools down way below normal temperatures. Her blood also cools down, and should she be hurt, she won't loose as much blood as a normal Shinigami.

Release: The name 'Skeith' only was enough to release the blade.

Bankai Description: The name of her Bankai is 'Terror of Death, true Skeith'. After saying 'Rewrite the Epitath, true Skeith', it is released. After that, the blade changes form, into a huge Scythe, similliar to the one wielded by Skeith himself in Kokoros inner world, only that the energy blade of it is pure white and freezingly cold. Both sides of the Scythe-head are sharp, not only the 'underside', making this weapon double dangerous.
This is only the first stage of the Bankai, however, and a 'compact' Bankai. It can be maintained for long periods of time.
To release the full Bankai, Kokoro has to stab her own heart with the blade of her Scythe. After doing so, her whole body get's encased in ice, the scythe disappears, and her real Bankai form emerges from a bursting ice crystal:
This form is what 'true Skeith' means, a fully fused form of cybernetic Shinigami and Zanpakuto. Their mind is one, as well as their body. This form is about 7 feet tall.

Bankai Abilities: In her first stage of Bankai, all the old passive abilities get enhanced - the air cools down more, her blood is now thick and has a temperature under 0° Celcius, but it doesn't freeze thanks to her Reiatsu. While holding Terror of Death, Skeith can be infused with large ammounts of Kokoros Reiatsu to increase cutting strength, but it is only slightly depleted with each strike. However, if it is charged and knocked out of her hand, she looses all stored Reishi in the weapon.
Once Kokoro fuses with her sword, the true powers of Skeith are revealed and fully released at the same time, making this 'angel of death' a sight that strikes terror into anyone. Why? Well, the first and most basic ability is tremendous strength, a singly fist punch of true Skeith can destroy a group of Menos Grande. From the tip of the swords hovering behind him, this being can fire beams of freezing energy, encasing the ones who get hit in a thick ice. Weaker enemies freeze to death in it, while stronger enemies can retain their warmth with their Reiatsu and break it after some time. In order to fight melee perfectly, the swords can fuse together into one huge, blue energy scythe. This weapon can fire out slicers of razor sharp ice, akin to the Shikai blade of Skeith.
In order to finish off strong enemies, true Skeith can unleash a finishing move that reverses Kokoro back into her permanent Shikai. The swords circle around the right palm of Skeith, which is pointed at the enemy, before they fly at him at high speeds, capturing the enemy in a field of extremely cold energy in order to paralyze him. After that, Skeith screams "Final Wrath of Ice!" and fires a huge blast made out of sharp ice crystals, freezing energy and huge rocks of ice at the enemy, impaling, stabbing, crushing, freezing and ripping him apart at the same time.

History/Background: Awakening

"This should do it. Start up the kernel, activate switches three to eight. Full power on standby." The voice of a certain mad scientist was heard, as his team quickly did what they where told. In a capsule on the wall of the room, in a strange liquid, the body of a girl could be seen. A girl with black, long hair.
Some control lamps began to flash as the liquid was pumped out of the capsule. Multiple injection-needles where pulled out of the arms of the being, the wounds sealing themselves completely. Finally, the capsule opened. The girl, still the eyes closed, broke down upon her knees, caughing up the rest of the liquid, before finally opening her eyes and looking up.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Yes, Mayuri-sama." Came the answer, with a rough tone in the voice. The mad scientist, however, had a wicked smile upon his face - it worked. Still one of the first mass produced, but now he had the technology to create souls from spirit particles only!
"Is your body functioning correctly?" The next question. A short break was before the answer.
"Everything in ordner, sir." The green eyes had nearly no emotion in them. "However, there seems to be a problem with one of the feeling-strings, according to my own data."
"Forget about that." Mayuri gave a signal to one of his scientists, who brought the first clothing ever for the newly born Shinigami. Standing up without problems, the nameless girl dressed herself. "Your name will be..."
"Kokoro Kiseki, Sir."
Mayuri and all the others held their breath for a moment. Where did that name come from? While the cybernetic Shinigami had some knowledge imprinted into their brains, no names where given until the production was completed. Did someone modify the data?

End of the Academy

It was all just one huge pain in the ass. Even though cybernetic Shinigami where created with potential, they still had to train. And even more, they had to go through the academy. But at least it was easier for Kokoro here - her swordsmanship was on par with most of the teachers here. However, there had been one fatal flaw in her creation process that had only been noticed after activation.
The compability to Kido of the young Shinigami was so low that it was a wonder she could even make some missfired spells at all. While the body of Kokoro grew in strength, her great Reiatsu couldn't be harnessed in demon magic.
But after all, this would be her last day here. In only two years, she had finished the academy - not legendary fast, but still faster than most normal Shinigami. The last test was to determine if they could fight against a dummy Hollow, and after that, the Squad Captains who where here - or theit Vice-Captains - could choose them for their squads.

The other students seemed worried, nervous, a bit hyped maybe. Kokoro, however, simply stood amongst them, a bored expression on her face, one hand on the unusually long blade of her Zanpakuto. It was rumored she always had her sword by her side, never letting go of it.
The dummy Hollow would be a weakened evil spirit, but still be a Hollow. It could kill them if they screwed up badly. And actually, Kokoro was a bit worried... that the others screwed up and that she would have to dispatch the Hollow alone. As she sighed, the huge metal door on the other side of the small arena opened - and a huge, snake-like being with four arms, each with sharp claws, came out, roaring a scream of pure malice and hatred. All of the Shinigami-students pulled out their blades at the same time - but the first to dash forward was Kokoro.
Ignoring the yell of one of the other students, she continued her fast dash towards the Hollow, holding her 5 feet long blade with only one hand. The yellow eyes of the Hollow fixated themselves upon her, and the claws of all four arms slashed away in her direction.
Blood was flowing, as two of the four arms where flung into the air, Kokoro being pushed back by the impact. As the Hollow backed away, the cybernetic Shinigami jumped high, grabbing her blade now with both hands - and cleaving the dummy Hollow in two. The other students where to startled to even say one word as she walked pass them, sheathing her blade.

11th Squad

"Well, what did I tell you? My cybernetic Shinigami are made with exceptionally strong bodies and quick minds." Mayuri was proud of himself, and everyone knew it. It was one of these rare days when members of every squad where there, to choose whom to take into their ranks. Just as he finished talking, Kokoro entered the room. The cold green eyes wandered from one Captain to the next.
"Did I pass?"
"Oh, with flying collors. I'll be happy to have you join my..."
"I refuse."
Mayuris opened mouth closed. "...What was that?"
"I refuse to enter your squad, Mayuri-sama. I have no desire to work amongst scientists. As you may remember, you have no more control over me, now that my body is activated." The cybernetic explained, and just seconds before Mayuri could explode into a burst of anger, a loud laugh was heard. Zaraki Kenpachi was the one laughing - whom else would you expect?
"You've got some backbone, girl. Come with me, my boys could need someone to beat them up good. They've been slacking off lately." The Captain offered with a grin. And surprisingly, Kokoro nodded.
"The 11th Squad, sounds good to me." And with that, she joined the Squad of fighters.

After joining the 11th Squad, Kokoro didn't see Mayuri ever again. During her training with the other fighters, it didn't take long for her to enter her inner world and talk to her spirit, Skeith. Upon making a promise to him that she never tells anyone about, he told her his name. And even though it was an ice-elemental sword that was released, it clearly was a melee fighting type.
