NPC Jibando Ikkanzaka [APPROVED 1-5]

NPC Template


Name: Jidanbō Ikkanzaka


Age: 800 years old or older.

Gender: Male

Personality: Jidanbō lacks emotional stability, falling to pieces after Ichigo breaks his axes. He was taught the rules of Rukongai by Tōshirō Hitsugaya, with whom he is friendly, and sets out these rules to those that he encounters. He is kindly by nature, however, and the inhabitants of Rukongai who live around the West Gate think of him as a friend who looks out for them, as opposed to most Shinigami, whom they despise.
Appearance
Jidanbō is an extremely large, muscular man, who easily towers above most Shinigami. His hair is tied into a pony-tail, which extends down his waist. He has long sideburns, which continue down onto his neck and long enough to be tied up in small pony-tail like tufts. He wears armor on his left shoulder and upper arm, plus a red hat with tassels. The left side of his chest is left exposed by his uniform. He uses twin axes in battle.

Tier: 2-0?
If Applicable, Position: Gate Keeper of the White Road Gate. (West)
What Race: Shinigami

Brief History: Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends confronted him after they tried to get into Seireitei. Ichigo opposed him and Jidanbō was soundly defeated. In recognition, Jidanbō opened the gate so that Ichigo and friends can go through, but the group was stopped by Captain Gin Ichimaru, who severed Jidanbō's left arm and closed the gate. Orihime Inoue used her powers to heal Jidanbō's arm once it is maneuvered into place by some of Rukongai's residents. Jidanbō later accompanied Kūkaku Shiba into Seireitei. When Sōsuke Aizen appeared on the Sōkyoku Hill, Jidanbō and Kūkaku fought the other gatekeepers, who had come to the aid of Aizen.

Associated Character: He isn’t associated with any characters directly, rather associated with the Gotei 13 as a whole.

Basic Powers:
Enhanced Strength: Due to his immense size, Jidanbō possesses tremendous strength, able to easily wield two gargantuan axes and have enough strength to lift a gate to Seireitei, despite not having done so in over three centuries.
Enhanced Endurance: Along with his physical might, he also possesses great endurance. Even after losing his arm to Ichimaru's Shinsō, Jidanbō was able to continue holding up the gate despite the pain and blood loss.
Axe Expert: Jidanbō fights with a pair of axes. His skills with them are great enough that Jidanbō is reputed to have once killed 30 Hollows in a single swipe.[1] With them, he has developed two known techniques;
• Juppon Jidanda Matsuri (十本兕丹打祭; lit. "Ten Buffalo-Red Strikes Festival"): Jidanbō hits his foe several times with one of his enormous axes.
• Banzai Jidanda Matsuri (万歳兕丹打祭; lit. "Ten-Thousand Buffalo-Red Strikes Festival"): Jidanbō's final special move, where he uses both of his axes to unleash devastating blows upon his opponent.
