o Weight: 182 pounds
o Hair Color: Long black
o Eye Color: Grey
o Skin Color: Tanned white

Description:

Jigoku appearance is rather tough, scarred over at least sixty-five percent of his body due to his training that was viscious. Jigoku was trained from day one as an assassin, and failure in any mission meant punishment, and that punishment on average meant immense pain with a variety of weapons, including fire, blades and a number of other assassins tools. Jigoku lower jaw was a mesh of bad scars that made his jaw barely usable, his tongue removed making him unable to speak the secrets of his clan.

One eye is horribly scarred, causing Jigoku to be virtually blind in one eye for almost 4 years, before continued healings by the clans healers eventually restored sight to the eye. His long hair is usually tie into a single ponytail that has about 6 dozen sharp barbs tied into the tips of the hair, it is believed that these barbs are often tipped with neurotoxin.

His body is also decorated in numerous locations by clan tattoo’s, something that started when he was very very young. A tattoo across his back was a large and incredibly detailed forest combat scene of a long forgotten slaughter of his clans founders in a time long forgotten except by historians of his clan. Other tattoo’s include numerous venomous snakes in various poses, many of these tattoo’s are there to hide some of the more unimpressive scars that he is not proud of.

Even though he has more of the build of a runner or a professional swimmer, Jigoku is quite strong and his carefully taken care of muscular body. He usually wears a pale white leather armor breastplate with white wraps around his jaw and neck with a black padded shirt, black gloves going up to the middle of his upper arms, pale white greaves, tight black pants, and black combat boots.

- Personality:

Jigoku is a quiet man who does not like to be interrupted or bothered with petty Stuff, he always keeps to hisself, attempting at all costs to avoid even training with anyone around him. He was trained to trust one person, and one person alone, himself and that everyone else out there, especially in the Soul Society, is most likely aiming to kill him just as much as they did his parents.
He is careful to hide anything about his past to anyone who asks, paranoid that they will try to use it against him to harm him in some way. He does not care about the politics of the Gotei 13, or even what division he ends up in, as long as it gets him one step closer to fulfilling his mission. He enjoys martial arts and being around or causing death, as long as it not his death. He has an obsession with Poisons and weapons.
He appears to be completely devoid of any feelings although that is not entirely correct, he suppresses all other feelings except for those surrounding hatred, or those he must show to keep his charade up. Otherwise he hides himself in the shell of a passive man who wants to be left alone.
He is overall a shell of a man, who is numbed to the concept of death, or loss, and has a mission that subsumes him mind, heart (what little heart he has left) an soul (if he even has one anymore) and he will simply not let himself die until he has done everything that can be done to bring around the fall of the Gotei 13.

- Likes: Snakes, Poisons, Martial Arts, Weapons, Armor, Combat
- Dislikes: Spiders, Dishonor, Cats, His Death

- History:

It all started when he was 3 years old and he was chosen by the head of the clan to join the clans special training program. Jigoku had shown advanced intelligence while he was very young, and this had garnished him special attention by the elders of the clan who felt he was the best choice for a mission to input an agent from the clan into the Shinigami.

Jigoku was appropriated from his parents after they were killed by the assassins an placed into an advanced training program, the brutality of this program was unrivaled. He was first informed that the Shinigami had killed his parents, they even provided evidence of such (of course the evidence was either planted or created by the clan) thus started the hatred of the shinigami by Jigoku. This was drilled into his head and was encouraged for his first five years, while Jigoku was mentally trained. When he turned 8 the physical training began.

The physical training was literally 8 hours a day of Martial arts training, 1 hour break and followed up by 8 hours of training of the mind in skills that he would need to successfully fufil his work as an assassin. Which usually included learning about ways to learn about a target without causing suspicion, breaking into the most secure of buildings without leaving a trace of evidence that you were there, creating traps, and creating toxins that can’t be detected and other like skills. Which was followed by precisely 7 hours of sleep.

This training continued for 8 further years, he had 17 classmates when he starte, by the time he finished his studies there was three of them remaining. This was expected and all three of the strongest Candidates started preparing for the specialized missions they were chosen for. It was at this point that Jigoku was given his first mission to kill someone, his target was a business man who….incorrectly charged it would later turn out…Insulted the daughter of the Patriarc of the clan.

Jigoku followed the man for three days, and found out that the man had not actually been the one who deficate the honor of the leaders daughter. However that mattered not to Jigoku, he had his orders. But he spent an extra day finding out who the guilty party was, he first broke into the house of his original target and killed the man while he was using the toilet. Removed his head and stored it until he was done, he then worked his way to the house of the man who was actually guilty, snuck in and killed him and his family while they were eating dinner. He then delivered the head of his target and the actual guilty party to the head of the clan, who was impressed by Jigoku’s ability to follow orders, but also at his flexibility in being able to find the real guilty party and dispatch him.

However his training was not perfect, he had to go through many of his fellow students, having killed at least 7 of them to ensure that he would be the one chosen to go to the Soul Society and have revenge for the murder of his parents. But none of those students went quietly and a few of them had even tried to take him out first. These attacks were where many of his scars came from, however a few of the scars also came from punishments for failing on tasks.

When he was finally deemed ready, he was placed back with a family friendly to the clan and was set up in a position to enter the academy. However not before he was given the Zanpakutō of the Clan’s Patriarc who at the time was dying, so he wished it to be used by him to carry out his mission, before Jigoku left the Patriarck died and was replaced, but that left him with a Zanpakutō that he would eventually have to break when he went to the Academy, and knowing his clan that would be a job and a half,

While in the Academy, Jigoku excelled in certain area’s Hoho was a particular favorite of his, he was not fond of Kidō however and never really paid it much attention, learning only a few low level Kidō that he might fin useful later on in his wanderings. But the big thing was finally getting to go meet with his Zanpakutō and trying to tame it. It took him nearly 12 days in the Labyrinth and another day and a half in the fight with the Snake itself to finally find the way to chain the beast and use its abilities in combat. By the time he returned he was half dead and required nearly a month of bed rest and recovery before he could return to classes, thus he graduated late.

Now he searches for the Division that held those monsters who cut down his Family so long ago, and to work his way into the trust of everyone around him. Then he will be in the position he wants to be in to start taking his revenge, and then hopefully he will be able to tear apart the Gotei 13 from the inside out, fulfilling his mission.

- Reiatsu Color: Black
- Zanpakutō Spirit Name: Harimogura

- Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance:



Harimogura: A Viper of nightmare proportions, in at almost 120 feet long in its largest form, its monster form(which its normally in) is taken after a pit viper, and its fangs are about the size of an average human being, and with venom more potent then even the strongest snake in the world. Its body is protected by heavy scales that seem to be able to change color at the discretion of Harimogura. But he tends to enjoy sticking with what appears to be his natural mixture of brown and green. Harimogura is also shown after he was tame to be chained to the pillars in the center of the Labyrinth.

- Inner World:

The inner world of the Zanpakutō is a horrible realm, a Labyrinth of every imaginable horror that a person could come up with, and it went on for Miles upon miles in every possible direction. Inside the Labyrinth were creatures of shadow, great horrific creatures from every known pantheon from around the world, as well as creatures that the spirit of the sword came up with on whims. Every creature’s very existence is to make the life of any person who enters a living hell, never to kill, only to torture and injure.

The Labyrinth is made up of limestone, and is a maze that could drive any man crazy, and if you manage to get to the center of the maze you are faced with a massive cave that has stories tall pillars the thickness of thousand year old Oak trees. The inside of this cave is just a mass mess of snakes and other venomous animals that could kill anyone. This is where Harimogura lives and stays for the most part.

- Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance:



Harimogura is a katana that is larger then the average Katana, weighing just over 2.8 pounds, has a blade length of 30 inches and had a width of 1.5 inches at its thickest point, and is almost completely black, with the exception of the very tip of the blade (which is silver) and portions of the hilt and sheath, which are also sliver and show the symbols of the Aurushi clan. Matched with the sword is a smaller dagger and a pick, which are also completely ebony with slightly lighter symbols marking them as being matched to the larger blade.

- Sealed Zanpakutō Abilities:

Once ‘tamed’ by Jigoku the sword has given Jigoku almost complete immunity to all but the most durable poisons known, and neurotoxins have little effect on him(Incapacitating but never lethal to him). His skin also takes on the traits of reptile skin, resistant to cuts and gives Jigoku’s body an increased healing and restoration skills. He heals from cut wounds twice as fast as a normal person, and the restoration of his reitsu is faster then average as well. Other skills also added, is the ability to move without noise, which seems to mystically extend to his clothing, he is also able to squeeze his body into spaces that would require someone half his size to fit into. Once per week for a maximum of 1 post he is able to turn himself into a common Garden snake. This being the tool of an assassin and meant to assinate Shinigami, it allows him to withstand Captain force Spiritual power even to the level of Kenpachi with no physical reaction to spiritual pressure difference

Note: the connection between Jigoku an this sword is incredible, even if the two of them are separated, he can awaken the sword, as long as he is within 100 feet of the sword. Both sword and sheath awaken, so the sheath also adjusts to accomidate the swords changes.

- Release: Sunēku no sutoraiki wa tsuneni tsurūdesu (translates to ‘the Snakes strike is always true’)

- Shikai Description:



The overall size of the sword doesn’t change really, just the form of the weapon, giving most of the blade a serration that can cause it to cut through many many things, and given enough time, it can even start to carve through the most thoroughly reinforced walls and physical barriers, but the sword needs to be used like a saw to do so. Its blade is reinforced with a massive amount of condensed reitsu that allows it to cut through. Slowly but it cut through.

- Shikai Abilities:
Sub-power: Traits of the snake: (Usually noticeable when Jigoku’s eyes change into that of a serphant) Certain traits of snake are automatically gained by Jigoku when he activates this power, He can scent his opponents with his tongue, he does not have to depend on sight anymore to find an opponent. He is able to produce his own venom, from his mouth, which he is able to spread on any weapon that he weilds, this poison is incapacitating for a period of three rounds, and wracks a victims body with extreme and disabilitating pain, those with master level focus are unaffected by these pains as they can fight through them, advanced Focus is only effected for two rounds, all other levels are effected by the pain at full level.
Primary Power: Jigoku is capable of summoning the creatures from the Labyrinth, creatures of nightmare and only of shadow, they must be within 2 miles of him, and he can only summon up to 16 creatures, and they will last for a total of 8 rounds, there is then a 3 round cooldown before they can be recalled. And they only fall into one of five different generalized shadow forms:
Minotaur (great strength, and Endurance, however is slow moving and slow to adapt in battle) These creatures are generally 7 feet tall, and have the a weight equivalence of 500 pounds, primary weapons are their horns, and their fists. Primary attack is a gore attack with their horns. Secondary weapon is a large shadow axe, this has no magical qualities and will do no more damage then a human axe.
Titanoboa (Great speed and Endurance, however not very maneuverable an is blind) These creatures are believed to be the Avatar of Harimogura itself. They are on average 25 feet long and slither into a battle quickly, attempting to encircle an opponent, bite them so they are paralysed and then constrict them to death, and eat them if possible.
Roc (Flying, speed and recon) These creatures are large birds, hard to miss unless acting at night, and are the only ones of the creatures that area mentally connected to Jigoku providing information from an arial view. They have a wingspan of 15 feet and are strong enough to pick up an average sized person and carry them some distance, they cannot be rode however. They tend to attack from above and use claws an beaks to tear into their victims.
TitanTortoise (slow, strong, and extremely durable, but does not adapt in battle very well) these creatures shells are virtually inpeneterable by physical or energy attack and are commonly used as cover. They do not attack, they only defend and are like an armored wall walking slowly around offering cover for troops. They won’t even defend themselves when attacked, retracting into their shells to stay alive until their opponents are killed.
Monkey (small and very stealthy, not strong) Able to slip quickly into area’s that Jigoku cannot normally get into, and brings back information or items that can be usefull. They are able to communicate with Jigoku in such a way that he can understand. They are able to virtually remain invisible as long as there is a shadow to hide in.

Notes on Shikai creatures:
These creatures seem to sprout out of nothing, as long as there is a shadow to be found, however do NOT require shadows to continue to operate (only required to activate) and the number of creatures that can be called upon is limited by the number of shadows available up to a maximum of 16. So if there is only two shadows available for some reason then he can only call upon 2 creatures.

- Role-play Sample:

The form of Shinji walked through the rain, he was not very tall but he was built stocky, standing in at just five feet nine inches tall, but weighed 172 pounds of well toned and carefully built muscle. Right now he was dressed in a white uniform, a black belt wrapped around his waist, and on his left side sat his somewhat flashy Katana. The katana was black, white an apparently crome in colors.

He was home, home for the first time in almost 8 years, and nothing had changed since he died near here, stabbed to death by a group of unstable street gangs. It was the 80th disctrict in west Rukongai. He shook his head as he continued to walk down the street, remembering any number of store fronts and even identifying some of the stores from his memories.

One or two of the old owners seemed to even appear to be familiar, but he would no longer be recognizable to them, so he just left them be. Eventually he got to a spot of the street and stopped. The store front he was staring at was a two story building across the street, it had been half gutted by fire an was falling down, but it hadn't happened recently, it had been like that for at least 4 or 5 years and nobody had bothered to knock it down or destroy its remains.

He sighed, bad memories flooded back to him as he took one more look, this place was no longer his home. His home, was now amongst the Gotei 13, his trip here had just been one last thing he had to do after he had left the academy, before he left this part of his life behind and moved on. He stood upright and held his head a little higher as he walked back in the direction he came from, he could now leave this place behind without feeling guilty.

Aurushi clan

STATUS: This is a Secret Clan, unknown
Name: Aurushi clan
Founded 1208 AD
Founder Omishi Kundep
Membership: 172
Goals: Survival, Destruction of the Gotei 13, and just in general getting all the riches they can get their hands on.

History/Information:

Origonally this clan was founded by a secret group to keep a close eye on the Gotei 13, to ensure that these 'Peacekeepers' were doing their job properly and wouldn't attempt an outright coup and take everything over. Slowly as leadership changed so did its mission. It slowly became corrupted by its own secrecy and power and started producing Assassins out of everyday normal people that would probably not have otherwise done anything with there lives.

Eventually after an incident with the Shinigami that the Shinigami don't even realise happened, and the Clans supreme leader was killed. The Aurushi clan swore an oath to destroy the Shinigami and everything they stood for. So they started training assassins to send out an kill any SHinigami they could find. They then started training infiltrator Assassins that they would send directly into the Academy and hopefully onto infiltrate one of the divisions, and then they would bring back information vital to destroying the Gotei once and for all.

But so far they have had only one semi-success story on their programs to infiltrate, and he has managed to graduate the accademy, but still needs to find himself assigne or get himself into a Division as high up the chain of command as possible.

Note: I do not know if there is a template for a new clan or not, so short of being pointed out one, i just put the releveant information here.
