Kristya [APPROVED, 3-1]

Name: Kristya Kallen
Titles: Angelic Kristya, Kristy, Angel of squad 8
Gender: female
Appearance Age: 17
Age: 435
Affiliation/Rank: Gotie 13, squad 8

Appearance Description: Kristya's body seems to give off the feeling of someone you shouldn't cross, and at the same time a lovely, cuddly, teddy bear presence. Her face is soft, feminine, her blonde hair pulled back in to a loose pony tail, but her bangs hang loosely at the sides of her face. Her body is certainly very feminine, her arms and legs slender yet full of strength. Her silver eyes seemed to glisten in their depths with love, but at the same the shape makes her seem to analyze your worth. It is often her lips, always with a small amount of pink lipstick on, which can make the difference.

Her clothing is slightly modified from the traditional shinigami outfit. On both her lower arms she wears metal bracers, though the sleeves of her black shihaksho cover them. On her feet she doesn't wear the typical sandals, instead metal boots, like those a knight would wear, protect her feet and lower legs. A gold colored sash goes across her upper body, from her left shoulder all the way down to her right hip, holding the scabbard to her blade on her back.

Personality:

• Caring: Kristya is a very caring individual, wishing to help all those around her.
  
• Protective: similar to caring, Kristya tends to put herself in danger to protect others when they might be hurt.
  
• Obsessed with becoming stronger: since Kristya feels she cannot protect others if she is not strong enough she is obsessive in her attempts to gain strength.
  
• Bringer of justice: Kristya cannot stand by and watch something evil or corrupt happen, this sometimes conflicts with her will to live within the law.
  
• Absolute Law: Kristya hates breaking laws, and she despises those who break them for mere amusement. If she is presented with an act of injustice where she would break a law by acting against it she most likely will act in the name of justice, though she will hesitate a bit before acting.
  
• Hatred for bloodlust: She hates those who relish in battle and wounding other beings, especially squad eleven. Though she understands that they are useful, she holds a great amount of disrespect for them.
  

Likes: Helping others, justice, love, chocolate

Dislikes: squad 11, fighting for no reason, corruption

Birth of Kristya and training of the sword

Kristya Kallen was born on July first of the year 1972, a warm bright day. Her early years were fairly normal, peaceful times. Her brother would tease her, but she didn't mind, and her mother was kind, gentle, and loving. The first five years of her life went by fast, being just another average child. When a child of the Kallen family turns five years old though, things change. It is at this age that start to learn the art of the sword, as the sacred oath says they must. Boys would be trained by their father while girls were trained by their mothers.

For the first three years of her training she was not trained to use a blade, instead her mother focused on improving her physical abilities, making sure her physical body could stand up to the torment of the sword training. When she was eight, now stronger and faster then most her age, she picked up her first sword. Her mother let her choose which one she would learn to use, and little Kristya chose the european two handed sword, one decorated in royal colors. The style she was taught relied very little on physical speed of the user, focusing instead on their physical resistance and strength. It was a style based on striking when the opponent does, causing more damage to the opponent then to the user of the style.

Teenage years and death

Kristya continued to grow, learning the sword style her mother taught her. At the same time her brother her brother learned from her dad, the two developing on totally different paths. Her training become more intense every day, and by her fifteenth birthday she had perfected her skills to a level beyond what her mother could dream of. Her progress was so amazing that her parents decided to give her a treat on her birthday, and they gave her the whole day to do what she wanted.

Of course Kristya was extremely happy, she had never been able to take a whole day to herself. She spent the whole morning out at the mall, hanging around and looking at dresses. When it neared lunch she decided she had better get something to eat. Remembering her friends had told her about an amazing diner nearby, she walked out of the mall, and started to cross the street. Looking up towards the sky she saw what was the strangest sight to her. A man, dressed in some weird black garb and carrying a katana was crouched on a lamp post, and seemed to be staring straight at her. She panicked, the light changing red as she reached for her sword on instinct, only to be reminded it wasn't there. A driver careened down the road, driving much faster then the speed limit, and crashed in to her, a loud "CRUNCH" sound as her skull was smashed open, killing her instantly.

Soul Society, a new place

Kristya felt the car hit her, the pain running through her mind as she blacked out... and the her eyes opened up. Have I survived? she wondered as she stood up, and then looked around, realizing all the emergency vehicles and people around, staring in horror. Turning around and looking down she gasped in horror, her body, the head crushed in to fragments, lay on the ground next to her. As she took a step back, her face contorted in fear and horror, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up she saw the weird man from before, his expression clearly saying I'm sorry. He placed the end of the grip of his blade against her head, and she felt herself lifted, lifted in to a new world.

She ended up in one of the poorer sections of the rukongai, making friends with some of the older kids there quickly. She looked around constantly for a sword, feeling the need to have one, but she could never find one that would work for her. After many tries a kind shop keeper suggested to her she try to enter the 13 court guard squads. The shop keeper explained to her that those who joined the court guard squads obtained their own weapon, unique to them and perfect for them. With little to lose, Kristya enrolled in the shinigami academy, scoring better then average on the acceptance exam.

She worked hard at the academy, putting just as much dedication in to her classes as she had with her sword training. It easily became noticed that she was slower then the other students, but her skills with her zanpaktou and Kidō, along with her durability made up for this weakness. She graduated in the average time frame, but was in the top twenty percent in all her classes, except those which required heavy usage of speed, which she was in the lower 25 percent of the class.

After a few days had passed since graduation she joined squad eight, and immediately loved it there. Sure the captain was really laid back, but she was really funny and all. There was very few members to squad eight so it was really easy for her to get to know everyone on a personal basis. She also started trying to making friends with shinigami from almost every other squad, she avoided the eleventh squad like she would rather die then be buddy buddy with them. Everyone knew why, she felt they were a bunch of blood thirsty mongrels, she detested anyone who loved blood shed that much. As her days past she honed her skills and did whatever work she had, not the partying type like her captain, she was the serious worker type.

Reiatsu Color: her reiatsu color is a mix of gold and white.

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Emet Athenia

Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance:



Inner World: A city made of gold floating on a cloud. Surrounding this is nothing but skies and clouds, both above and below. In the middle of the city is a large circle of stone, supported by eight stone pillars. On one side of the circle there are steps leading down to an exit, the rest of the circle is surrounded by gardens, all sorts of flowers with lovely colors. The far end contains three golden thrones, the one in the middle larger and more finely decorated then the others, facing out towards the exit.

Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance :

The huge two handed sword is not a katana like most zanpaktou are, rather it is a european two handed blade, kept in a scabbard on her back. it is two feet longer then average zanpaktou, but she does not seemed impaired by it's length or weight. It is clear that she is left handed due to the way she holds her sword, though she does not pay any extra notice to this fact.

Sealed Zanpakutô Abilities: The sword of justice, Emet Athenia, that is the blade Kristya Kallen wields. It's abilities are derived from the heaven's element, light and the truth's element, plasma.

Detect Malice: Kristya can sense hatred, anger, will to kill, and in general malice. This ability is always active, and it lets her know the direction and distance of the originator.

Heaven's Element - Shielding Light: White light glows around Kristya's body, and up to two additional targets of this ability. For a duration of five posts, or until the target decides to break it, all attacks do fifty percent less damage. While this effect is active on a being, their general speed is reduced one rank (advanced to adept, adept to beginner, beginner does not suffer any speed reduction), and cannot use any speed based skills, including shunpo, sonido, or other like skill. She cannot use this ability for two posts after she ends the effect on herself.

Heaven's Element - Blinding Presence: A bright flash of light expands from her body, covering everything for forty five meters around her. Everyone caught in this area whose focus is equal to or weaker then her willpower is blinded for one post and their other sensory abilities are half as strong as normal for two posts. In addition, for two posts shadow or darkness based abilities cannot be used within this area, and are dispelled if they enter the area.

Master Swordsmanship: The Kallen family have been passing down the art of the sword for generations, each generation perfecting it to another degree. Kristya has mastered the use of a large european blade, allowing her to wield it with an almost unparalleled degree of perfection. She has extreme trouble using japanese blades though, and struggle with lighter blades, but can use them.

Spiritual conservationist: While her spiritual energy is a decent amount higher then the average for someone of her rank, she does not come even close to the extreme amount her brother has. Instead, she has an extremely fine control of her spiritual energy, allowing her to use the most extreme minimum for a technique. This makes it extremely difficult to tire her out because of how little spiritual energy she uses for each ability.

Immense Durability: Her durability is her strongest attribute, forged from the days when she learned to wield the two handed european blade and from carrying around her huge zanpaktou while wearing the metal boots and the metal bracers constantly. She can withstand attacks most shinigami of her caliber could never imagine taking on. Her body, more specifically her defensive strength, this is what is amazing about her.

Release: Guardian of the light, the one who reveals lies, Let not my prayer fall upon deaf ears, come forth and judge the wicked! Guide me, Emet Athenia!

Shikai Description:

Kristya's shikia is not just a change in her sword, but her outfit changes also. Her sword shrinks slightly so she can wield it in one hand now, but it is still longer then most other zanpaktou. Her metal boots extend to protect the lower half of her upper legs, and a black skirt covers the rest of her legs. Her upper body and arms are completely covered by glistening plate mail with gold trim. A large black and gold trimmed shield appears in her right hand, as she wields her sword in her left.

Shikai Abilities:

Auras
In her shikia form Kristya always projects one aura which will affect her allies so long as they can see her and they are within the range of the aura at the beginning of their (the allies) post. She can select up to three beings to be her allies for the sake of this ability, but she cannot changer her mind about selecting someone unless they either leave the thread, attack Kristya or someone Kristya cares about, or her shikia ends. She can change which aura is active during her post, and it takes no effort to do so. Each aura's range is divided in to the 3 areas, close, average, and far, each of which take up exactly one third of the aura's total range. Values for the effects of the auras below are given for those in the average range, those in close range will get a stronger effect, while those in the far range will get a weaker effect.

Aura of Fast Healing: Everyone affected by this aura is slowly healed of any wounds on their body so long as they remain within the range of this aura, which is 15 meters. small cuts or scrapes and other minor things are usually healed within one post. average wounds from fighting with same tier beings (beings that are not much stronger or weaker then oneself) usually take 2 to 4 posts to completely heal, while major injuries take 5 to 10 posts to heal, and some injuries, such as organ damage or total loss of a limb, are not able to be healed.

Aura of Protection: Increase the durability of all affected by this aura by one rank (beginner to adept, adept to advanced, etc). This aura has a range of 30 meters from Kristya.

Aura of Strength: Increases the physical prowess of all affected by this aura by one rank (beginner to adept, adept to advanced, etc). This aura has a range of 30 meters from Kristya.

Truth's Element - Heavenly Canon: Using this attack, Kristya points her sword at her opponent and concentrates, charging the attack. When she releases the attack, a large beam of plasma, three feet in diameter, shoots from the end of her sword towards her opponent, with a maximum range of 100 meters. She can charge this attack for one posts, making it much more destructive, but while charging she can't use the sword to defend herself.

Truth's Element - Shining Clone: Creates duplicates of herself out of plasma, which follows her direct, telepathic commands. Any buffs/debuffs effecting her physical abilities also effect her clone, it has the same base abilities as she has, though it cannot use Kidō at all. When it makes successfully attacks or is attacked the clone explodes, covering the area with the being fighting with it and the clone in very hot, radioactive explosion. If her focus is adept or less she can create up to 5 clones, 10 if her focus is advanced, and 20 her focus is master or higher.
