D'ondre Jenkins [Shinigami]

• Name: D'ondre "Day Day" Jenkins
• Titles: None currently.
• Gender: Male
• Appearance Age: 15
• Age: 550 years old
• Affiliation/Rank: Gotei 13, 10th Division

• Appearance Description: D'ondre , while having the appearance of a 15 year old, is the definition of peak physical conditioning. His hair style is a unique mixture of short dread locks up top with corn rolls along the sides and back. Dark brown eyes are hidden behind square-framed glasses, but the necessity of said corrective eye wear is unknown since he's been seen without them on without any real degradation to his eyesight. D'ondre is very physically fit, and is known for his well-built frame. His height equals 162 cms (5'4") and he easily weighs over 54 kg (120 lbs), which of course is mostly comprised of his muscular build.

His attire, however, can be a bit unconventional. He seems to have held onto his sense of fashion from when he was still alive, and because of this, his casual clothing could be seen a bit out of place. D'ondre wears a simple white v-neck t-shirt with no designs on it what-so-ever. Around his neck, usually out in plain sight, is an elaborate gold chain with a large golden crown attached. To complete his upper attire, he also wears a black and white striped sweatband on each of his arms that covers most of his forearm. His lower half is covered in loose-fitting grey pants with various tribal necklaces and beads attached from the belt loops. His feet are covered in all white sneakers with no real description as to what brand they belong to.

As for his more formal attire, D'ondre wears an almost equally as odd uniform. When he's not wearing his casual clothes, he could be seen in a plain, white dress shirt with the top opened slightly to reveal his sternum. His sleeves are rolled up to just below his biceps. He wears similar long sweatbands on each of his wrists that covers the majority of his forearms; however, one is light-patterned while the other is dark patterned. The gold necklace that he usually wears is usually either hidden underneath the shirt, or not worn at all. What determines this is not really known, more of a spur of the moment/lazy thing than it is anything significant. Lastly, black fitted pants hang off his face while the same pair of white sneakers are on his feet.

• Personality: D'ondre is a bit of a hot-blooded. He is determined, headstrong, and quite passionate. He can be pretty stubborn at times and can easily lose his temper when his emotions get the best of him, especially when it comes to protecting his friends. At times, he can be a bit immature and likes to poke fun at anyone he feels deserves it. He is a proud boy, but in no way is he egotistical. He's a bit more laid back and easy going, and usually has an optimistic view about things, sometimes to the point of delusion. He's usually pretty upbeat, however he can be quiet fiery and aggressive when it comes to battle. D'ondre hates sitting still, and often finds himself building himself into a rage when left somewhere to do nothing but sit. He's not one for planning and would much rather trust his feelings than sit there an analyze a situation. He's a very shoot first, ask questions later kind of guy.

D'ondre is tough and resilient in both combat and emotionally. He can take whatever you throw at him and give it back ten fold. In fact, he craves confrontation. He loves to fight and will even take on those he knows are more powerful than him without any hesitation. Outnumbered? Good. D'ondre thrives on challenging "on-your-feet" moments that push his limits. He is a true believer of "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger", and this motto is pretty much his sole philosophy. Obviously, D'ondre is a very competitive person and will often challenge those to even menial tasks to see who is better. He is very blunt when it comes to speaking with people, and is quite aware of his lack of strategical prowess, and although he thinks he has a great sense of direction---he's completely terrible and often finds himself lost.

• Likes: Food(especially meat); Music; Fighting

• Dislikes: Sitting around; Boredom; Disrespect; Hunger

• History: D'ondre was born in the early 2000s in Brooklyn, New York, and was raised in Bed-stuy. He grew up like a normal kid, but both his parents worked double shifts and were often not around. This usually meant D'ondre and his little brother, Jordan, were out in the streets playing with friends or getting into whatever trouble they could find themselves in. Life was fast, exciting, and full of fights. Often these fights were over something dumb and small, and Jordan was usually the one who initiated it, but D'ondre would always back him up and protect his little brother. There weren't many kids that could go toe-to-toe with D', and because of this, he had developed quite a reputation and following. However, one child, Riley, at school despised him and the two often got into fights where there was no clear winner. Without his parents around, the two brothers often had to settle things for themselves.

One day in school, Riley and D' went at it again during a heated game of basketball. The argument spawned from a foul Riley had committed with a swift elbow to Jordan's stomach, which immediately sent him to the ground. D'ondre, unable to keep his temper at bay, exploded into a rage and attacked Riley with a strong jab to the center of his face. Blood immediately began pouring out of the slowly swelling nose, and before D'ondre could pull his fist back, Riley had tackled him to the ground. For a few seconds, but what felt like hours, the two scuffled on the ground. Dirt was flung, shirts were ripped, and blood was shed. It was only until D'ondre got the upper hand by pinning Riley to the ground, that the fight was over. Multiple downward angled swings to the boys face commenced, who could do nothing but attempt to block the savage blows. However, it was to no avail. D'ondre rained wild blows into the boy until it was obvious that Riley was defeated. With blood dripping from his lips and onto his dirt-stained shirt, D'ondre rose, packed his things, and left with his brother. That day ... he was crowned king of the neighborhood.

Life was good after that. He had achieved a new level of respect, and had no more problems with Riley, who avoided him like the plague. It all seemed too good to be true, until one night on the way home. D' and Jordan were walking down the sidewalk cracking jokes as the neared their home. It was kind of late, but their basketball game had run late and they couldn't just leave. Only wusses left mid-game. The two had a very close relationship, and it was obvious that Jordan held his older brother in high regard. They were moments away from their home when the sounds of a speeding bicycle came to a screeching halt behind them. The two brothers turned around only to reveal their nemesis, Riley, and his two goons. " 'the hell do you want? Didn't I spank you hard enough last time? " D'ondre said, with a bit of arrogance behind his voice, but Riley wasn't hearing any of it. The brothers' life flashed before their eyes as their enemy removed a loaded handgun from the waist of his pants. Without even thinking, D'ondre pushed his brother behind him just in time for the single bullet in the gun's chamber to pierce his chest and subsequently his heart. Death was quick, and he could not remember anything after that other than the sound of footsteps leaving in quick succession.

To his luck, and help from his overwhelming spirit energy, D'ondre was picked up by a Shinigami before he was consumed by his raged and became a hollow. He was immediately recommended to the Gotei 13 and enrolled in the academy. While he mostly failed Kidō and was subpar in Zanjutsu, D'ondre showed immense strength in Hakudo and foot work, often sweeping spars in one blow. His zanpaktou took the form of twin dull ninjatos that were pretty useless in combat, which is why he usually resorted to his fists, which he was much more comfortable using. Because of his large spirit, D' found his shikai while in the academy, which took on an unusual shape, but fitted his personality very well. His overall spirit and personality landed him a spot in Squad 11, under the lead of Kenpachi himself. It only took another 100 years before D'ondre, under the hard training and combat life of squad 11, achieved his bankai. However, he kept this secret from the others, nothing wanting to display his hand too soon and create enemies in the higher ranks of his squad.

• Reiatsu Color: Royal Purple

• Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Zannin (残忍; Ruthless Ferocity)

• Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance: Zannin's appearance matches that of a tall and slender african american. He often wears a bandana around his forehead and large afro hairstyle. His attire consists of a normal karate Gi, a pear of sneakers, and an unusual pair of aviator sunglasses. Zannin is very strict, and has no problem kicking D'ondre upside the head if he acts up. However, he's also very cool and wise.

• Inner World: It is a desolate city, much like his neighborhood, filled with broken down cars, bon fires, and scattered trash. Buildings randomly, but frequently, crumble to caught large pieces of debris to fall down to the streets below. The air is thick through unknown means, and there is constant hip-hop music playing in the background. The city is vast, however each street is identical to the last. Same buildings, same broken cars, same everything. It is very easy to lose track of one self, since there is no easy indication of direction of location. The typical meeting area is either down on the streets below or on top of a crumbling apartment building.

• Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance : His sealed Zanpakutô takes the shape of two dulled ninjato, which is worn on opposite sides of his waist. The two swords are identical. The hilts are jet black with a somewhat rubbery grip, with an equally as black square hand guard. The blade, however, looks worn and is obviously dulled and pretty useless in combat as anything but a blunt object. Because of this, and in addition to D'onde's subpar skill in sword fighting, the two swords are rarely used.

• Natural Powers/Abilities:

Enhanced Strength: D'ondre has a high level of strength, and has been able to halt heavy projectiles and debris, even when injured, only using his hands. He's also no stranger to breaking bones, and is able to do it with very few blows.

Enhanced Stamina: D'ondre has an impressive level of stamina. He is able to take an almost insane amount of punishment before it affects his ability to fight. Even after an entire week of stressful training and spars, D'ondre was still able to continue on, and win, a following battle, even though he was critically injured and battered.

Enhanced Durability: D'ondre just doesn't know how to stop, and his body has adapted to this. In addition to his stamina, D'ondre is able to brush off most pain and injuries. His muscles don't tire easily, and his body heals faster than usual.

Immense Spiritual Power: Even though he is only a lowly member of squad 11, his spiritual power and skill level far surpasses his rank, rivaling those of higher rank than him, even Captains.

Shunpo: While not extremely skilled in Shunpo, he is very familiar with the technique and usually only uses it to keep up with more powerful opponents.

Hakudo Expert: Before becoming a shinigami, D'ondre was always in fist fights. He easily took down most of his peers without much effort, and had developed such a reputation that most fled from him when approached to spar. Before creating his Zanpakutô , he was known to beat sword-wielding enemies solely with his bare-hands and technique. In one instance, he sent two of his peers directly to the medical division from extensive bodily wounds--this fight was a 2v1.

• Shikai Description: D'ondre's shikai is very unique. Instead of transforming into a bladed weapon, the twin swords take the shape of large metal gauntlets that fit his hand like a glove. The two gauntlets have an impressive weight to them, which only further displays his level of strength to be able to wield these with expertise. No physical changes occur other than his fist being slightly coated in purple Reiatsu.
• Release: "Bring the ruckus."

• Shikai Abilities:

Strength is increased by 30% while released.
Durability is increased by 30% while released.

Bone Breaker: D'ondre's fighting style does not rely on techniques, instead he relies solely on his ability to overwhelm and pulverize his opponents. Through his time as a Shinigami, he has developed his skill in his unique martial art to the point where his blows weaken his opponents with each successful hit. Each hit release a subtle burst of Reiatsu that weakens the bones of his opponent. Each successful hit afterwards further weakens the bones allowing them to break much easier. This technique can also be used to destroy steel and other extremely durable surfaces, however it takes much more effort in order to weaken/break those.

Effect chart
10% integrity reduction per hit making breaks easier.

At approximately 50% reduction on a normal bone even average punches may result in fractures.These effects, though noted, are not the only points of weakness. Even a bone with a 5 or 20% reduction will break easier; these are simply outstanding thresholds.

At 75% reduction, light taps and even heavy self-movements can result in fractures, dislocations or breaks. The effected bone and muscle lose the ability to support any substantial weight.These effects, though noted, are not the only points of weakness. Even a bone with a 5 or 20% reduction will break easier; these are simply outstanding thresholds.

Naturally, things like steel and similar surfaces are considerably more resilient. Against objects like this, the amount of integrity reduced per hit is halved to 5%.

• Bankai Description: When Bankai is released, the gauntlets change in order to cover both of his arms in a metallic, almost robotic, looking armor. Extending out the back of each shoulder are two exhaust ports (total of four), which when spiritual pressure is released from them, allow D'ondre quick bursts of speed and momentum. In addition, a piston can be seen protruding from both elbows, which when activated, can apply extra force behind blows done. When it comes to destructive power, Zannin is nearly unmatched. D'ondre's fists have no prejudice and will strike down any enemy without much provocation. While his bankai gains an advantage the longer the fight lasts, he usually wastes no time dispatching a foe.

• Bankai Abilities:

Strength is increased by 50%
Durability is increased by 45%
Speed is increased by 20%

Kemono no Ken: This ability is the foundation of D'ondre's bankai, which is just as unusual as his shikai. His bankai gradually releases an increasing amount of Reiatsu as time goes by. D'ondre learns that his bankai has a ravenous appetite, much like his, and thrives in combat. D'ondre taking damage or dealing damage further increases the amount of spiritual power his bankai releases, essentially making him stronger as the fight goes on. This mechanic is very similar to how momentum would work when running and grows as more damage is done.

• Level 1: Built after a single strike, 2 received blows, or 2 turns after release; augments physical strength by 15%; lasts 2 turns.
  
  
• Level 2: Built after a second strike, 4 received blows, or 4 turns after release; augments physical strength by another 25% (40% total); lasts 1 turn.
  
  
• Level 3: built after a third strike, 6 received blows, or 6 turns after release; augments physical strength by another 40% (80% total); lasts 1 turn.

So, by the above formula, D'ondre at level 3 will have 4 total turns of momentum stacked. One turn at +80% performance, One turn at +40% performance, and Two turns at +15% performance.

Each hit releases a subtle burst of Reiatsu that weakens the bones of his opponent. Each successful hit further weakens the bones allowing them to break much easier. This technique can also be used to destroy steel and other extremely durable surfaces, however it takes much more effort in order to weaken/break those. When Bankai is activated, his blows can be further enhanced by the sliding piston in his elbows by using spiritual pressure as source of compression.

Bankai's level effects how much a reduction is given by each hit. Level 1 = 1.5x multiplier (15% per hit); Level 2 = 2x multiplier (20% per hit); Level 3 = 3x multiplier (30% per hit).

• Roleplay Sample: (

Life on the streets wasn't as tough as those outside the ghetto thought it was. Yeah--times were hard. Yeah--Money was low, and yeah--you had to look over your shoulder every once in awhile, but as long as you kept your chin up and pushed on through? Nothing could bring you down. This is what their father always taught them, and the two of them held it to heart. Their life was filled with obstacles and systems meant to break their spirit, however, D'ondre and Jordan overcame them like champions. The two brothers were inseparable, and did just about everything together. Especially since their parents were often gone at work trying their best to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads. D'ondre tried his best to make up for it, and really put effort into being a good role model for his younger brother, who did in fact adore him.

" 'ey Day Day! Hurry up! You gon' make us late! " Squealed the younger brother, who was at least 5 years younger than the 12 year old D'ondre, who was months away from graduating middle school. The dismissal bell had rung and the school was in the process of spitting out children out the door like vomit. Amongst the crowd, was D'ondre, who smoothly kept a slow pace behind his over-excitable little brother. " Relax, yo. The court ain't goin' nowhere. " His voice was smooth, and a bit deep for his age, but he carried it well. Hands found themselves entrenched in pockets of pants that hung a little loose around his waist, while feet were enveloped in white sneakers that weren't tied so well. It was his typical style, and one he wore well. Well enough, in fact, that it was his attire to their destination--the basketball courts.

They had barely made it off the lawn of their school before they were approached by a small group of boys, one obviously way shorter than the other two. " Yo, busta'! I hear yo lil' brother be talkin' mad noise 'bout my cuz here. I'ma beat yo ass, and then I'ma beat his ass, nahmean? " The deep coarse voice came from the larger of the three, in fact, much larger than all of them. The large male stepped forward with his smaller, skinnier friend stood next to him. He recognized the two boys, who were in his grade, as two usual bullies who tormented the weak. The smaller third boy, who was the same height and consequently the same grade as Jordan, stood hidden behind his bodyguards with a smug look on his face.

" Look, son. I dun' give a fuck 'bout you or yo cuz. So how 'bout you step up off me 'fore I lay yo goofy ass out! " There was no need for any more verbal exchanges. The larger of the two boys rushed forward to close the 3 feet that separated the two while giving a wide arcing swing with his left fist to D'ondre's right temple. However, the boy was far from graceful. D'ondre simply side stepped to the right, allowing his right hand to push against the boy's fist and push it away farther in the direction it was already heading towards, effectively using his opponent's own strength to his advantage. This opened D'ondre up to the smaller of the two boys, who was already mid-advance and mid-swing with his left fist. D'ondre simply continued to the right while hooking his left fist underneath the boy's left fist, which caught the boy's chin while hidden in his blind spot. The sudden crunch of the boys jaw instantly sent him to the ground, while the large boy had just finished reestablishing his balance. Catching sight of his best friend falling to the ground KO'd, his eyes widened in rage, which only further his lack of coordination.

It was now down to one, and D'ondre hadn't even broken a sweat. The large boy came barreling towards him with another wide arcing swing, which was easily evaded with a quick duck below. With his knees still bent, D'ondre simply gave a strong left jab to the boys diaphragm, which cause the poor boy to lose his breath momentarily and hunch over. This gave D'ondre the opportunity to properly reach the boy's face, which he promptly did. Bringing his right fist down and back, he let off a strong jerking uppercut towards the boys chin. The blow, which carried a force much greater than those of his size or age, impacted against the bone of the boy's chin and promptly sent him flying off his feet and onto the ground.

" Peace. Let's go, Jordan. " And with that, they were off to accomplish their normal activities for the day. Just another day in the life of Day Day
