Name: Yokkyu Amai
Gender: Male
Age: 1000
Appearance: Yokkyu is very different compared to most Shinigami, despite keeping normal racial normalities - he is very different than the others in almost every aspect. First and foremost, he has long, shiny midnight black hair that is draped down to the end of his back, while most Shinigami have a much more normal hairstyle. His arms are very long, as well as having a beautiful set of claws on his hand. His clothes are however not very different from the rest, as he wears the typical clothing of the shinigami - black robes with a white trim, of course under his glorious Captain Haori. To be more detailed, let's start from the top and work down. His face is sort of ovalish, yet keeps a sort of round appearance on the sides, and comes to a narrow end at the chin. His cheek bones sort of jut out, but nothing that ranges out of what is considered the "norm". On his forehead rests a thin scar that would take up about a quarter of the space of his central forehead. His lips are a light pink color and seem to never get chapped. His teeth are all normal, aside from the canine teeth, which on both the bottom and top set are respectfully long, and deathly sharp, as if he had the teeth of a wolf. His eyes are a golden-yellow color, and his skin is a creamy pale-ish color.

Onto his torso, but this time around, we'll exclude the clothes he wears and come back to them at a later time. His chest is pale and completely bare, with muscles in most spots for a man of his build. Both of his pecks are 5.5'', perfectly square, leaving a 1'' gap between them. Below his pecks lie his rips, which do not jut out like most others. Yokkyu also has six 2inch2 abs, three on the left and three on the right side of his abdominal area. Like the rest of his torso, his skin is bare and pale. His chest is covered by his armor, which is able to ensure moderate damage before busting. It should also be noted that Yokkyu gets about 52% of his height from his back.

Yokkyu's legs are normal, having both, unlike his arms. Each leg is roughly 3.5 feet long, which is typically long for legs. Both are pale like his body, yet muscular like an athlete's, giving him amazing running speeds, and even greater shunpo speeds than he would get were he any different. His calves are large and defined, as well. Both feet would be a size 13.5 in men's, however, other than the stated information, the lower part of his body is not unique in any other way, aside from a large scar being located in the center of his left foot, which is odd, seeing as many wouldn't typically get attacked at the foot...

His clothes, on the other hard, are a bit different. They make up most of his unique appearance. He wears a white kimono, with a large, spiked iron shoulder-piece followed by a black steel armor plate for his chest, and a yellow and purple sash worn around his waist to secure his Zanpakutou. His clothes cover all of his body, aside from his hand and the very tips of his claws, however, to start with, we'll do this like we did his appearance - start from the top and work our way down until we reach the end of the description of his clothes. As stated, his wears a large, mainly white kimono. It covers all of his chest, goes over his shoulders and drapes down his left side (his armless side). However, on his right side, the kimono goes down, just barely passing his hand, barely exposing the tips of his claws. Towards the top left of the kimono is a white and red pattern, which has a large red spot, filled with white squares. Over his left shoulder rests a large, spiked iron piece of armor, which connects at the middle of his left shoulder plate, over his shoulder, and onto his left peck, and onto the corner of his black chest plate. On his right shoulder rests a large pelt of wolves fur, which on his backside drapes down to almost the floor and flows behind him, but on the right it only goes to about upper-mid chest level. In the center of his chest rests his black chest plate, with a gold and red trim, used for nothing but looks, seeing as spiritual characters are much stronger than ordinary characters. It is merely for the looks and the feel. On the back side of his left sleeve is the same pattern that Yokkyu has on his upper left neck-piece, a red splotch with a white block pattern. Towards the lower end of his chest plate is a purple and yellow sash, which is tied tightly around his waist, leaving two streamers in front, none in the back. It is used to keep Yokkyu's Zanpakutou in place, which is securely fastened on his left hip. He wears long white pants, with black & pointy shoes.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Personality: Yokkyu is and always has been a very hard person to please and to satisfy. It has always either been his way, or no way at all, or he'd end up getting either frustrated and/or pissed. It was difficult for him to get his way, so he often shown himself as a rude, arrogant and easily-frustrated male, though always showing expertise when it came to being a leader. Being a Leader, he was always stern and believed all those under him should and would obey him, or they'll suffer the appropriate consequences to learn right from wrong, and to spot a mistake before it could happen. He was generally a jerk to everyone, even the other Captains, but knew when and how to show respect when he absolutely needed to, and didn't show it unless he knew he needed to do so. It was just his way of life, it was his way of living. He has many likes, and many dislikes, and he is normal like everyone else and has habits like everyone else, sharing common beliefs, though his attitude was a bit different from everyone elses.

To start, he liked things to go his way, this meant his subordinates listening ATTENTIVELY, paying attention to each and every word he would say, and if they didn't, they'd suffer the consequences. He also liked when he had the ability to help the unintelligent, always lending a sharp tongue to whip them into shape, and if they didn't listen for whatever reason, he would be done with trying and simply give up. Unlike most Captains, he thoroughly enjoyed doing paper work, as it gave him time off to focus on the important things, and less time to chit chat about pointless things. He, like most Captains enjoyed his privacy and time alone especially, as when he was alone he had time to think and concentrate about important decisions. Now this doesn't mean he didn't like being around people, he just enjoyed some time alone every now and then - a bit of focus time. He also liked to train, whether he trained himself, or a subordinate, which either one he'd train as vigorous as shinigamily-possible, pushing himself and his subordinates to their utmost extreme limit, to ensure that the both of them achieved the best result as possible. Though, oddly for a man like Yokkyu, he liked spending time in the World of the Living, as he felt a strange connection with the realm... a connection he could not explain.

With many likes, a man like Yokkyu is bound to have dislikes as well, and he strongly... "disliked" these things, in fact, he had a pure hatred for these things, and they could easily set him off into a giant fit. For starters, he absolutely looked down upon and utterly despised cocky people, as he thought that they believed they were superior, while in the end them being cocky proved that they were in fact inferior beings who simply believed something they couldn't achieve. He also despised being interrupted, and when interrupted, Yukkyu will quit what he is saying and simply glare at his peer with a look of disgust and disregard for manners as he could possibly muster. He also strongly disliked when people spoke too much, as he believed it as a weakness, as the person who spoke too much did not realize it, but if it were a battle, while they spoke their giant forever-long book, they could of had their neck slashed, and have their blood spilled all over the floor. He also hates it when inferiors are disrespectful to superiors, especially when it came to a Shinigami <-> Captain relationship, as he thought each Shinigami should show the utmost respect to a Captain, whether they are or are not the Captain that they serve under.

Even though Yokkyu is a bit different from the others in terms of likes and dislikes, he is somewhat similar to others when it comes to having the typical habits, such as - he tends to think much about his existence, he doesn't know who he is, or why he is where he currently is. He does not know why he chose to become a Shinigami to slay hollows, nor does he know why he even kills hollows, as they react to pure instinct. He also has a habit of tending to look down upon others, even though he dislikes it when others look down upon anyone else, he thinks it or more correctly, he does not notice it yet, but he thinks it is okay for him to look down upon others, as he secretly believes he is superior to most, if not all in some way or another. He also has a habit of walking fast, which is irritating to his peers, as he will be walking at his normal fast pace, and they will not yet be use to it and struggle to keep up with his odd form of stroll. He also tends to jump to conclusions too often, usually not waiting to hear the whole story before he begins to accuse others of things he is not yet 100% sure of, though he is only... part human, it is as expected. He also has an odd habit of laughing at his own jokes, which due to his personality makes it awkward for his dry sense of humor-self to laugh at his own joke, which others tend to make fun of him about.

Like most Shinigami and Vizard, Yokkyu believes in proper justice, though for which side is unknown as of yet. Him, being a Vizard can see it from both perspectives with equality and fairness to both. Having hollow powers, he understands partially what it is like to be hunted by the Shinigami by something you cannot control, and his hollow part makes him despise the Shinigami for doing so. Likewise, Shinigami side sees it the opposite way, that the hollows must be slain and murdered simply for them following their instinct and eating the souls of others, as it is what they naturally do. He believes in justice,though in this case, it couldn't be considered justice, more like twisted justice,which is greatly confusing. Being a man who believes in justice, when if he is straight, he believes a man and a man, or a woman and a woman have the right to be together if that is what they wish to do, as there is nobody who wrote a life-binding rule that it must be the other way around, and Yokkyu believes that all those who oppose the idea are just in denial of being gay or bisexual themselves.

Though Yokkyu as a person is hard to get along with, as he is easily frustrated simply by doing some of the things he does not like, such as being disrespectful. He is frustrated easily by going against his beliefs, and will be quick to raise his voice or shout if he does not get his way. Along with being easily frustrated, he is also quite ignorant, not usually paying full attention to a situation before he acts upon it, even though that is not proper justice, he is just somewhat confused. Along with being ignorant, he is also very arrogant and overconfident in his abilities, which is a major flaw on his behalf and can cost him greatly if the time calls for a serious battle. Like most of his seemingly mean personality, he is also a jerk, being the first one to use bad language, and the first to insult for simple prejudices, which is unjust and unfair, which inevitably makes him a hypocrite, as he goes against his own beliefs and dislikes, which as said above, he does not yet notice.

Yokkyu can be very cold, callous, dispassionate figure, and is rather aloof, brooding, and indifferent, willing to harm both his comrades and enemies should they ever get in his way. He refers to anyone he does not find interesting as "trash" and treats them as expendable. Despite this, like most of the other top Shinigami, he is not particularly violent and will only fight when provoked or ordered to by his leader. His cold demeanor allows him to stay completely calm and in control in most situations, and he is not easily surprised or caught off-guard. However, he does not seem to comprehend the Human trait of fighting against all odds or the very concept of the Human heart; when fighting any person who seems to contain a 'heart', literally, symbolically, or anything of the such, he always looks down on them because they allow their emotions to get in the way of their fight.

Yokkyu is also lazy and an unenthusiastic character at times, who, apparently spends much of his time thinking and which no one appears to try and stop him from doing. In fact, he rarely directly addresses any being below himself. Despite being one of the highest-ranking Shinigami, he is not eager to take a leadership role, shown when he easily allows others to take over a battle of insignificance. He is not particularly interested in whatever is going on around him, although he is surprisingly observant and a capable analyst. Unlike many of the Shinigami, he is not violent or overly arrogant. Yokkyu has also shown himself to be extremely aggressive, but still calm. When taking little field trips around the world, whoever he faces he utterly defeats, or tries to. Despite his current villainous status to the Espada, and current position of authority, Yokkyu is a surprisingly polite, soft-spoken intellectual, often addressing his subordinates by their given names. He rarely shows any sign of alarm or distress and often has entire situations planned out well in advance. Whenever confronted, Yokkyu is casual and uncaring, attempting to draw out a conversation and make small talk, which often infuriates the one he is talking to. He does so because he believes them to be unnecessary to him at the current time, and he, in truth, tries to draw out their emotions, as he believes emotions to be a large flaw, and the more flaw he can draw out, the more of an advantage he believes he can have over his opponent, and in the end, kill them.

Yokkyu is a rather quiet person. Talking isn't his thing. He believes he has a mouth for a reason, to express an opinion and not to talk things through. He believes his blade is the one who does all of the talking. He isn't rude or anything, its just that he doesn't like to talk and he is a rather ... irrational person at times. Though when he does speak, it isn't very many words, and its rather quiet, almost a mumble, or a whisper. At times, Yokkyu is forced to talk, and when he is forced to talk, he talks rather quick, and rather rude. Though he doesn't mean to, he gets fed up with the chit-chat he's being made to do. As said before, he just doesn't like to talk. End of story. Period. He uses small, simple words in times when he is 'required' to talk, if-you-will.

Yokkyu, though quiet, stands for what he believes in. He's always there to fight the long battle, always there to take the journey to Right and fight the "evil" people. He protects his friends because he believes friendship is the key to strength. His strength is drawn from his friends. Not literally though; as in he fights for his friends, and his friends are the reason he fights. It's not to be a Shinigami, or a Captain of a Division, no. It's for the people that make his life and his job easier, his friends. He believes that if there is a path to more power, there is a path to keep your friends safe - but himself personally wouldn't aspire to get that power. Which is exactly why he doesnt look down on the Vizards, he believes they have greater power, which makes them more capable people. He doesn't mind that they "betrayed" the Soul Society, because in truth, Yokkyu would do that too. Yokkyu would take that offer up in an instant if he could, its power, baby! Who could refuse?

Hobbies:

- Being the quiet type, Yokkyu likes to be alone and by himself, it gives him time to think by himself. He usually doesn't like to be disturbed while he is in thought, but he wouldn't particularly mind if someone were to interrupt him. He simply likes to be by himself when he thinks, as when he does, he tends to speak out loud and to himself, softly, however, he doesn't want people to know his inner and personal thoughts, so that is why it is a hobby to be alone: to think by himself.

- This sort of ties in with the first one, however it is a little different. Yokkyu enjoys to go on long walks throughout the Dangi Realm. He'll leave Soul Society and walk through the realm, basking in the cool midnight air. During this time, he often goes back to his previous hobby of thinking, however, he mainly walks to relieve himself of the prescience of others, and when he goes on a walk, this is the time he WOULD mind to be interrupted. It's not as if he'll snap at you, as his voice is always calm, but he wouldn't particularly like you, and he would view you as an annoying pest in his personal conscience.

- Yokkyu inevitably has a hobby to fight - he is, after all, a Shinigami of significant power.He got his hobby from fighting so many hollows in his time. The two races are known to fight, and have been known to fight for thousands upon thousands of years. Despite his calm nature, Yokkyu can't simply abandon his racial urges to fight and to kill. The more he fights, the more he gets consumed in battle and the more he is consumed, the stronger he becomes, and the stronger he becomes, the easier it will be to destroy the the enemies of Soul Society. It isn't a personal thing, rather, it's something that is based off of instinct for him. It's his Shinigami instinct to fight and to kill, to fight and to kill MAINLY his racial enemy - the Hollows.

- Yokkyu's favorite place in all of Soul Society would have to be the Forest. He absolutely loves to visit that place, it brings him satisfaction galore. He enjoys spending time there because there is a multitude of dead & thriving trees, crystals of all sorts, trees that contain the occasionalsquirrel, and an entire dead forest teeming with unseen life, and if one is lucky, even an old friend!

- Unlike most Shinigami, and unlike most any sentient being, Yokkyu loves a good challenge. Being a high ranked Shinigami, he rarely gets a challenge, unless it is from a superior, which there are very few Yokkyu knows of. And whenever Yokkyu gets the chance, he will fight an opponent that is exceptionally strong compared to him, however it doesn't always have to be in strength. Yokkyu is also a very smart and talented Shinigami, knowing enough science to qualify him for that of Squad 12! - and he would accept an intellectual challenge, or possibly a historical challenge, even a location or speed challenge. Any challenge is a challenge, and any challenge is worth trying because to Yokkyu is equals fun!

Dislikes- First, let it be stated that simply because Yokkyu is a quiet and calm person doesn't mean he doesn't have a fair share of dislikes.

- Yokkyu has a strong dislike when it comes to people who refuse to see the truth. For example, if a person is fighting him, and Yokkyu had the advantage and is winning, yet the person on the other end of the battle is over there talking about how if only they can pull through, if only they could do this one thing, they'd win the battle, regardless of how impossible it seems. That is a person, to Yokkyu, who's eyes aren't capable of seeing the truth, a person who is guided by false hope and a person who should have their eyes removed and killed for the mere thought of doing such an impossible thing when it is clear they are unable.

- For racial reasons, Yokkyu has a strong dislike when it comes to a Hollows. He doesn't understand why he loathes them, however, his instincts tell him to, whether it's blind hatred or clear hatred, he hates them nonetheless. He tries to see from both sides; the Shinigami side being: 'They kill innocents mindlessly', and the hollow side, 'We have minds, we kill because me must do so to survive', and once again theirs, 'It is our duty to protect the innocent and purge the evil', and his once more, 'Who are you to declare what is good and what is evil, what is just and unjust? Who gave you permission to protect, what if it is us you should be protecting, but don't realize it due to your own ignorance'. No matter what side he looks at it from, the side of hatred is always the overpowering side.

- Yokkyu also strongly dislikes Vizards - or, a Shinigami who has obtained Hollow-Like powers.. They gain their hollow powers in some odd, mixed up topsy turvy scenario that turns their entire life around, while a hollow has a natural process: Menos, Adjuchas, Arrancar. Or possibly, Menos, Adjuchas, Vasto Lorde, Arrancar, depending on if that specific hollow has the capability to become a Vasto Lorde in the first place. Vizard transformation involves them hollowifying off to gain more power, which is an abonimation to any shinigami.

Goals: In truth, the only goals Yokkyu has is to ensure he keeps his power within his division. He wants to ensure this Squad is under proper command for as long as he has the ability to. He also hopes to one day be able to reach a compromise with his Zanpakutou, thus convincing it to allow him Bankai, which for the given time - it will not allow him to do. Like achieving bankai, which is a way of gaining more power - Yokkyu does wish that one day his skills will be adequate enough to some day lead the Gotei in its entirety - as the Captian Commander. That goal, however, it one Yokkyu isn't too ambitious to pursue.

Fears: Yokkyu is a very cold person - thus only cold things can scare him. The only cold thing that scares him is people being colder than him, which would be moreso a surprise than a fear. However, his ultimate fear is loosing his Division and the Onmitsukido to one of lower potential then

Positive Traits

Lawful - Yokkyu is a extremely lawful person, and will stop at nothing to ensure justice is served. He believes the laws were set there to ensure the safety of the Shinigami. He will stop at nothing to ensure justice is carried out...
Confident - Although this could count as a flaw, to Yokkyu, and for Yokkyu, it is something somewhat on the good side. He is confident in his powers and abilities, and sure that he can find some way to do what he needs to do, one way or another. He does, of course know he is not the best, but he knows for sure he's not anywhere near the worst.
Dutiful - Like being extremely lawful, Yokkyu will stop at nothing to ensure his duties are fulfilled completely as asked. Even those who work under him, he will try all in his power to ensure they too perform their duties properly. There are two things Yokkyu doesn't mess around with: Law, and Duty.
Respectful - Yokkyu knows when to show respect, and when to make others respect him. He knows he is mean, and he wont b mean without proper reason. He understands that the easiest way to get others to follow you lead is through respect, but knows that an iron first is the way to go sometimes as well. He tends to keep more to the respect side, however.
Knowledgeable - Serving in the Onmitsukido for quite some time, Yokkyu i a trained assassin. Being a trained Assassin, Yokkyu has learned quite a number of useful tactics to use in combat. The most notable of those tactics is the knowledge of the Hand to Hand Martial Arts Tradition: Koshijutsu, which uses the fingers as the weapon, striking points on the body to render other parts immobile. On top of that, he knows the areas of the tendons and ligaments quite well, and will use those to his advantage as well.

Negative Traits

Lawful - While being a good think to Yokkyu, it doesn't make it a good thing FOR Yokkyu. In performing the laws to the letter, he obviously risks danger. He could easily get too confident and overstep his bounds.
Anger - While Yokkyu tries to remain respectful as best a he can, his temper if very short. His anger is a small wick with the match always close by. He can easily begin to boil over the smallest things and go on a large rage about respect and duties and all other things other people don't want to hear.
Confident - While Yokkyu does know he is not the best, his confidence might be a little too high. If he thinks he can do it, he will try. And normally this wouldn't be a bad thing, but however, when applied to battle, it could easily become a bad thing. Even a fatal thing.
Duties - Like mentioned above, Yokkyu is very serious about law and duties. With duties, he puts them above him and those around him. Being Shinigami, he knows he was made to complete a specific duty, the mission gave to him. Those around him were as well, and he will risk his life, not so much those around him's, but his own to ensure he gets as close to fulfilling his duty as shinigamily possible.
High Self Regard - Although this seems contradictory to what is above, it's not meant in that way. He believes himself to be great, not so much battle wise, but stature wise. He believes he should be very respected, and while he gives respect, he won't take anything BUT respect from those around him. Simply because he gives respect doesn't mean he thinks others to be above him. He just knows it's the best way to go, and he expects similar things from those around him.

B A C K G R O U N D

History/Background: Yokkyu's eyes flashed open, as he laid where he was dead, and without a seconds thought, he jumped up, feeling his legs, back and head, noticing he had no arrows anymore, and was somehow alive. With a confused expression, his gaze turned down to his chest, where he noticed a giant chain, which had two chain circles on it, before it was at his chest. It didn't hurt him, but it was there, and he couldn't remove the chain, as he tried to force it off from his chest. Confused, he thought he was in a dream, he began to wander around, noticing his hunger and fatigue were long gone - this couldn't be a dream, it just couldn't be. Things were too great to be a dream, he FELT this, you didn't FEEL dreams, you SAW dreams, but you never felt a dream, and this was sure as shit no dream at all.
However, as sure as Yokkyu was, he couldn't have been more wrong, for his eyes flashed open once kmore, revealing the luxurious room in the Amai Family Manor. With an irritated grunt, as well as a sigh that revealed his obvious frustration, he rose from his bed and wandered down to the large kitchen of the Amai Manor. Little did he knew, he would be faced with a decision, a very important decision. Perhaps the most important decision his life has ever seen, and ever will see. He, however, had no way of knowing such a thing. He continued in his innocent ignorance, having the kitchen chefs fix him up something interesting. It was a ceation wrought of many spices with rice and duck sauce. It wa delicious, but Yokkyu was interrupted by the Third Male of the Amai Clan. Yokkyu was the hier to the clan, and did not like bing interrupted. He was very young at this time, just celebrating his 100th year of life.
His brother had a serious look on his face, and explained that their father was making all males in the family join the Shino Academy. The Amai clan had many members of the clan in the Gotei, and it was time the sons, the future of the Amai clan joined. However, would Yokkyu accept? It wasn't something he was interested in, though he had indeed thought of it before. He didn't think he had the potential to be anything good, but knew that one day he would lead the clan, and for that, like his father, he would need power. And respect. What better way to get power and respect than to be a high ranked officer in the Gotei? Yokkyu knew for a fact it wouldn't be anything easy, and nothing that would go by quickly. If he did this, he would have to devote his time to his training and to the Gotei, and less of the Amai. However, he knew he had time. His father had many years left of his life, so his duties as Hier could be put on hold for some time. Yokkyu had decided to join, and the males were to go to the Shino Academy and enroll first thing next morning.
The males did exactly that, going straight to the Shino Academy first thing in the morning. They had told their purpose, and who they were. There would be no delays. The Amai were feared greatly throughout Soul Society. They were known to be violent, though some could be kind, that is simply not what they were known for. He was, however, promised that this would be no easy task - completing the academy and all. It required ones utmost dedication to learning the arts of a Shinigami, which many surprisingly do not have. Yokkyu was of course undaunted by this fact and decided to continue on with the registration, knowing good and well exactly what lay before him. He was told he could spend up to ten years in this place, depending on how he progressed in comparison to the others. To his relief, the real work wasn't beginning any time soon, it was more or less simple classes, teaching the students exactly what the Shinigami's main enemy was... the hollows...

These were mindless creatures who were unfortunately never saved by the Zanpakutou of an honored Shinigami, Yokkyu learned. He had felt some connection to the beasts, as though he had seen them before, and as if he understood them more than most others... but it was just a feeling. The lessons in hollows continued, teaching the students the different types of hollows, and also telling them that their powers vary. Supposedly there were 4 classes of hollows - the normal hollows which usually plagued the Realm of the Living. Next up in the latter of power were the Menos Class Gillian, which resided in another dimension known as Hueco Mundo, the realm of the hollows. If a hollow were to somehow gain individuality, they would be able to consciencelessly continue up through the ranks, devouring their own kind to gain power. Yokkyu learned that they only had ONE chanc, and if they messed up, they'd revert to mindless beasts and be forced into a state of subconscience. If they however made it, they'd gain a more humanoid form and become known as an Adjuchas. Adjuchas were about Vice-Captain power, and were not something to take lightly. If the Adjuchas was born to become the next class, then they would indeed become the next class. Regardless, an Adjuchas must always feed on hollows, else they'll return to a mindless Menos. If they made it, they'd become known as a formidiable Vasto Lorde - a form of hollow that most resembles a humanoid figure, and possibly beyond Captain-Class.

Those studies took up two years of Yokkyu's time at the academy, and next began the real training. He would be presented with an ordinary sword and would learn the art of Zanjutsu - the art of weilding a sword. This sword would become his zanpakutou, a being that he had yet to connect with. He continued his studies and training sessions with the sword, entering the Academy tournaments from time to time, usually ending up in second or third among the entire Academy, due to his skills with he blade. Soon after the studies with the blade were complete, he began with the art of Hoho, which would later develop into shunpo - a shinigami's fast-movement. All shinigami must be able to perform the simplest variation of Hoho: Shunpo before they could graduate. Most students, Yokkyu included, got the hang of this pretty quickly. And Yokkyu, like the blade, was very proficient with it, however, this time, not anywhere near the best. He decided his shunpo needed a lot of work. After the studies of Hoho were complete, the studies in the Demon Art: Kido began. This was a Shinigami's main magical weapon aside from their zanakutou. They could perform a multitude of things with Kido - from making a simple light to aid you in your travels to summoning six rods of bright light to completely immobilize your opponent. All the academy students needed to do for now was to perform Bakudo 1: Sai, and Hado 1: Sho and they would make it out fine. Yokkyu, like the others, performed Kido to a satisfactory level.

The final test of the Academy was to send him far off from the protection with the Academy, and allow them to demonstrate their skills they have learned within the Academy. No leader was chosen among the group, but they would have to fend off the weakling hollows that had managed to enter the Soul Society. This is usually where Shinigami acheived their Shikai, and where the Academy would decide to place them. Cast out of the acadmemy a week after the notice of the final test, the Academy students were confident, save for a few who believed they would be at the mercy of a mindless hollow. Yokkyu was placed with a squadron of 5 other Shinigami. He quickly decided it was his duty to lead them, and grabbed their attention with a flick of his sword. He demanded they follow under him for the time being, and that they act as a stealth unit instead of one unit of brute strength, where they would be wide open. With that in mind, the academy students quickly agreed and listened to Yokkyu's orders each time a hollow neared. With particularly quick flash steps, Yokkyu and his squadron quickly decimated any hollow that came near them. However, the next challenge wasnt so easy. A group of 3 hollows had appeared and began to prove too much for the little Squadron. Yokkyu like the rest of his team were thrown about, and clawed at by the beass, until Yokkyu uttered some strange sentence, and his blade transformed to that of a whip with six snake heads. He had done it without realizing it - he had done it in a moment of great need - he had called upon his shikai. The six snake heads danced and bobbed wildly at they were flicked to and fro, , tearing the hollows to bits and pieces.
The squadron retreated back to the academy to report their progress, as well as end their test. They were all praised on their effort, especially Yokkyu which was the only one to acheive Shikai in his Squad. They all, however were placed within the Squad 2 barracks, as Yokkyu's leadership had shown their talent in stealth. Yokkyu however learned quickly that his zanpakutou hadnt returned to its sealed state, and felt as though he should find out why. He meditated for a long while, until he entered a dark domain with a coiled black python waiting for him, in striking position. After questioning it, he learned his zanakutou was a very cold and evil being who refused to be sealed where she could not taste the blood of battle. With his answer given to him, the spirit forced him out of her domain... and Yokkyu returned to his training in Squad 2, working much on his Kido and Flash Steps, as well as learning and mastering two techniques his Shikai offered him.

Upon graduation and official employment as a Gotei Officer, Yokkyu had learned what had happened to his brothers, who he had not seen since they joined. They fared well, and were in seperate Divisions. Yokkyu did not care to know who they worked under or what they did. From this day forward, he would pay attention to himself until he achieved high enough prestige to make his father proud. He was fit for Squad 2 for now, so he focused on training his skills in hand to hand, as well as Shunpo. Of course, now that he was in the Gotei, he was nothing special. All those above him, all the seated officers were o much better than him at everything he did. Sure, he was good back in the Academy, however, these guys were much better. Their shunpos were so much higher, and their hand to hand could beat Yokkyu silly. He knew he would have to focus on training for many many years. Becoming a seated officer was the next thing he had to worry about. He had to train, primarily with his shunpo, hand to hand, and kido. And so he did.
Yokkyu trained for many years, around 400 years, gaining him the strength he needed to become the Divisions next fifth seat. Yokkyu, being about 540 years of age, give or take a few years here and there, was now a well respected member of Squad 2 and the Onmitsukido. Of course, in comparison to those above him, Yokkyu was still not too great. He knew he had to continue to train, and so he would. He was sent on scouting parties to the World of the Living, exterminating many many hollows, while gaining experience and effectively training and pushing themselves past their very own limits. Throughout the experiences s a fifth seat and the trips the World of the Living, Yokkyu had undoubedtly gained more power, being able to surpass the fourth seat during his duties. He was slowly gaining a more prominent hold on the Division he believed to eventually be his.

With the next 100 years came obviously more training. However, more importantly, Yokkyu had began to look at himself. He was crule, and very crazy in comparison to the others. during his time, he had studied those around him, comparing them to him. He knew he had to bring a change. He couldnt gain any mor power doing things as he did them. Over the years, his personality slowly morphed into that of a more respectful man, slowly pushing aside the fact he was noble. He had learned that his duties were extremely important, and gained a more firm understanding of the law, interpreting it and studying it for many years.
Instead of gaining raw experience and gaining new levels that way, he had began to train with members of his division, training them, and being trained. He was turning 700 soon, a relatively old age compared to those around him. However he continued, he continued training. He continud to gain more power.
With his new personaliy brought new desires. He had decided it would be best if he had joined Squad 6, the Law Squad. Similar to Squad 2, they would exact the law to the fullest. The skills he had in battle, as well as the knowledge he held made him absolutely perfect for the Squad. He put in for a Division transfer, and continued his training, focusing mainly on Kido, Zanjutsu and Shunpo. His hand to hand was superb, his Zanjutsu just needed a bit more work. He often went to Squad 5's Barracks and trained his skills with the sword with their members, seing as they are the combat squad. Eventually his request for tranfer to Squad 6 had been acknowledged and accepted, moving him to the Squad, as well as upgrading him to the unoccupied Third Seat. Excited, of course, he did not stray from his training. He knew it would be the most importnt change in his life.
His personality began to solidify, becoming harder and more dense - it seemed as though this was the new Yokkyu. He had served the Squad for nearly 100 years and his skills with his sword were surpassing his Lieutenant and being presented with the Vice Captain position under the Captaincy of a particularly interesting man. With a favored position and much respect, Yokkyu continued his training and continued to serve in the Sixth Squad third seat, oon to be 2nd seat Leiutenent. His shunpo quickly rose in speed and the distances it covered became larger. Yokkyu had decided to train mainly in the art of Bakudo as he realized he would need more Bakudo than he would Hado. He had eventually fought for the rank of Vice Captain of Squad 6, defeating his opponent with a moderate struggle. He believed he had deserved this rank, and knew it was right for him. Eventually he would be the Captin of this Squad. He simply knew it.
Being about 800 years old now, Yokkyu had a firm grip on the Division with his Captain. Rarely did they have to fight any shinigami aspiring to leave, but the Captain had taken Yokkyu into his apprenticeship, something he had never done before. The Captain began to personally train Yokkyu in the art of Shunpo, Hand to Hand, Zanjutsu and Kido, teaching him pretty much all he knew. The Captain had also told him that he would step down, as he knew for a fact Yokkyu had surpassed him as the years went by. The only thing Yokkyu needed to do was to attain his bakai, which was no simply feat. Hebinoyo would simply not work together with him! He knew he had to do it though, he knew he would have to! H knew this was for him, and with his fathers passing soon coming, he would be the head of the Clan, and he needed a prominent position to work with. It had to be done, and he wouldn't sit for a "no".
Yokkyu's age now fast approaching 870, he decided the time as now. He had enough training to surpass his Captain, but would respect his wishes and take the Division under the circumstance that he obtained Bankai. He visited his anpakutou Spirit one night when all was quiet within the Barracks. He ventured deep into his conscience and into his Inner World where the beast awaited. Yokkyu stated why he was there, explained what he needed and why. Hebinoyo simply wouldn't have it. She wouldn't give it to him, and Yokkyu understood what he had to do. she did not believe in his skills, and did not believe he would use her properly. The two knew each other perfect enough to know that they both were beginning to fight. And so it happened.
They fought furiously, each striking at each. They proved to each other they were of equal standing, but Hebinoyo still wouldn't take it. Yokkyu, with a broken arm, began a furious tongue lashing, attacking the supposed bond between the two. Those words were what had defeated Hebinoyo and Yokkyu knew it., and so out of respect, he left. The two didnt speak to eachother for around a week, until Yokkyu ventured back to apologize. He met her there, and the two spoke, and Hebinoyo admitted she had no idea what she was doing, and told Yokkyu the truth that what she was doing was out of not truly trusting him. Yokkyu had indee proven himself, and she had agreed to train him with bankai. She presented it to him and allowed him to train with it for the next 50 years within the inner world ONLY, and to not present it to any others until she felt he was ready. He trained for those 50 years, obviously mastering the Bankai. Through the personal training , Yokkyu and Hebinoyo had established a firm bond. She was not so much a bitch anymore, and was more understanding. Yokkyu had thanked her many times, and presented himself to his Captain, telling him he had finally obtained Bankai.
The Captain gave up his position and went into retirement, knowing th Squad was in right hands. Mor capable, more powerful hands than his. Yokkyu has to this day continued to serve his Division, gaining power of course. He is a highly respected Captain, with great power and vast insight. He commands the Onmitsukido happily, and leads his Squad to greatness, following any order he gets without hesitation, as it is his duty to serve and protect in what ever way he could. He was a trained Assassin and a trained warrior. He was prepared for anything that could come at him. However, events had turned to the worse when Yokkyu was requested to return to the Amai manor for an emergency meeting with his father. Yokkyu knew exactly what it was about...
He arrived deep into the night, and had met with his dying father in his personal room in the manor. His father explained this was likely to be his last night, and he formally bestowed upon Yokkyu the honor of being the head of the Amai Clan. His father passed later that night, and all the clan knew of it. As the Hier, he wa now the head of the clan. He would lead the clan to greatness in whatever way he could. He was Yokkyu Amai, Head of the Amai Clan, Captain of Squad 8.

__________________________________________________________________________

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Hebinoyo
Appearance: Hebinoyo takes the form of a massive python. She however, is not the ordinary different-shades-of-brown-and-black like most other Pythons are. Instead, she is a lucid black massive Python with deep red eyes, ready to stare into the sole of a victim as she slowly constricts and swallows whole. Her scales are enormous and very durable, being very difficult to break through. She has two large holes for her nostrils, and a large mouth which is capable of unhinging at the jaw, to help her swallow her prey if needed. Her tongue, like all snakes, is long and fork-shaped, which is also lucid black in color
Inner World: The inner world is a large and foggy bog. Unlike most bogs, the water is not dirty, but black in color, matching Okuno's scales perfectly. With no trees and only a moonlit, cloudless sky, this realm seems to be one from a person's worst nightmares. With no trees in sight, and no land anywhere to be found, the entire world is Okuno's domain, as when she rises from the water, she seems to be the water itself taking shape to a large, red-eyed python. Except for anything mentioned, this realm is pretty bare.
Sealed Zanpakutô : Yokkyu's Zanpakutou is a Katana fit for a king, and is beautiful down to the very last detail. Unlike most, he treasures his Zanpakutou as if it were his actual life partnet, and has added little modifications to his Zanpakutou throughout his time as a Shinigami, adding gold here and there, as well as Japanese writing. The blade while in the sheath measures 32" in length, and the sheath is a beautiful dark blue color, with three japanese characters symbolising his trust, companionship and the honor of working with his Zanpakutou. About two and a half inches towards the opening of the hilt is a dark blue wrapping which is used to fasten the zanpakutou to Yokkyu's waist. In the center of the dartk blue wrapping is a small circular ring which is used to hold the wrapping in blade, ensuring that the wrapping does not leave Yokku's waist.

The hilt of the blade is nothing extraordinary, though it is still as elegant as the entire Zanpakutou, with the hilt being about one and a half feet long, ensuring for a good grip, and much space to change grips when in a tight lock. The hilt is wrapped in blue wrapping, much like the exterior of the sheath, but the wrapping used on the hilt is wrapped in a diamond formation, which creates multiple diamonds throughout the length of the Zanpakutou, spanning from each end of the hilt, which on each end is ended by a small golden cap. The cap has small designs of a dragon around the perimeter of the golden caps, and is as shiney as water on a midnights' beautiful evening. The gaurd, like much of the sheath, has gold, which is in a small, 1-inch-in-diameter circle around the hilt, which is defined as the gaurd, which has engraved a tiny dragon that encircles the entire perimeter of the gaurd, making it seem as though the blade has its very own bite to it.

Remove the sheath from the Zanpakutou and you get the blade itself, which is a beautiful silver color, with a wave design on the blade, that can only be noticed in the darkest of nights, as when in the sunlight, the blade is too reflectant to notice such variations on the blade, as Yokkyu personally keeps the blade as shiny and beautiful as it could possibly be. Like the sheath, the blade is 32" in length, and throughout the length of the blade, it is razor sharp, having the ability to cut leafs simply by touching them, cutting them as if they were absolutely nothing. This is due to the Zanpakutou's personality being very... very sharp, which is reflected upon by the sharpness of the blade. At the very end of the blade, the tip is curved slightly at an acute angle, making the tip of the blade deathly sharp, very sudden, unlike most Zanpakutou Yokkyu has noticed thus far.

Spoiler:

Release: Sejinwoodorokasu (Strike terror into people's hearts)

Shikai Description: Heb is magnificent whip - with six lovely snake heads on the end of the whips stem. The whip itself is coated in a lucid black substance. Like all zanpakutou, it is very durable and seemingly indestructable (but as we've seen, can in fact be broken). The stem (handle) of the whip is about six inches long, giving him enough room to comfortably hold the whip in one hand. The whip is connected to another leathery black substance that connects the stem to the part that does the damage, the whip itself, which that part is about 3 feet long. On the end of that connecting lies six 8 feet long snakes, which are as black as the python in Yokkyu's inner world. With lucid black scales, blood red eyes, a black flickering tongue, and two long and sharp venomous fangs to each snake, they are quite living indeed, giving them the opportunity to fight ALONG with Yokkyu, attacking where they please unless Yokkyu issues a mental command on exactly what to do. The snakes fangs are both fit for stabbing and shreding, allowing Yokkyu to issue the snake a command to inject venom with a bite, then tear out, leaving his oppnent with a large bleeding gash. Typically there are multiple bites with multiple gashes.

Shikai Abilities: The ability of Okuno is to have access to two forms of venom - one numbing which will eventually result in temporary paralysis, and the second venom one of deadly break-down venom, capable of breaking down tissue and muscle. Okuno is a very deadly Zanpakutou, but must be used right in order to be effective. So, all in all, the ability of this Zanpakutou is to inject different types of venom to sufficiently aid the wielder.

Techs: Name of abilty/technique: Paralyzing Bite
Description: When either snake bites down into the opponents flesh, they deposit a light green venom which then begins to numb the opponent, eventually paralyzing whatever section was bitten. The more snakes bite, the more effective the poison is.
Duration: Here is a chart showing how many posts an infected area will be numbed and paralyzed for each snake that bites. The ability can used until each snake is out of venom. So if all but 1 snake bite, then the ability is still able to be used until that last snake uses its paralyzing venom, but only by the snakes that havent already used it. They recover from the ability once all the venom is gone from all the snakes, and ONLY then. The paralyzing portion of the venom will only kick in if its in a concentrated area. If the venomous bites are spread out over a large area (six bites around the entire body) the entire body will be numb, instead of a portion of the body being paralyzed.
Cool Down: 3 posts after all 6 snakes have released their venom.
Preparation: No prep needed.

Name of abilty/technique: Deteriorating Bite
Description: Very similar to the ability above, this venon replaces the paralyzing venom. It can only be used during the cooldown of the ability above. When the snakes bite into an infected area, the skin and muscle will start to dissolve into nothingness. It takes awhile to do, and will ONLY work in paralyzed areas. If used on an area that is not paralyzed, it will have no effect absolutely whatsoever. The more snakes that bite, the more skin will dissolve.
Duration: Like above, depends on the amount of snakes biting. Like the venom above, this is only effective if it's in a cencentrated area. For the venom to deteriorate properly the venom must be injected in high enough relative area to the other bites, else it'll only deteriorate the first few layers of skin, and wont bring any serious damage.
Cool Down: 4 posts after all of this venom is used up, and AFTER all the venom from the technique above has been used.
Preparation: The first ability must be used before this one will possibly be able to activate.

Bankai Name: Tasho Hebinoyo (Many Omens of those who are Snake Like)
Bankai Description: Yokkyu's Bankai is a very unique one, as it represents two different aspects of the snake. The two, however, are not in effect at the same time. The first is a 40 foot long Kusarigama, and is the original weapon when bankai is activated. Five snakes from the shikai merge to form the chain, and the last and sixth snake forms the blade, but keeps its head, and bites into the kusarigama blade, augmenting it with poison. It is used for fast strikes, as well as using the chain to trap an enemy effectively. The second is a 6-foot long scythe, which represents the snakes strength. It is formed from the kusarigama, and the blade of the scythe is of course longer, with the snake biting into it to augment it with poison as well.
Bankai Abilities: The ability of the bankai is to have the two poisons from shikai act in two different weapon forms. The Kusarigama is augmented with the numbing and paralyzing poison, while the scythe is augmented with the poison that breaks down tissue and muscle.

Name: Suraisu
Effect: This is the technique that turns the Kusarigama into the scythe. It means "To Strike". With the scythe comes the poison to break down tissue and muscle. Likewise, the poison depends on the opponents level to ensure it effectiveness.
If an opponent is two or more levels below, two inches within the infected area will be dissolved within 2 posts.
If an opponent is one level below, two inches within the infected area will be dissolved within 4 posts
Same level, the infected area will be dissolved completely within 5 posts.
One level above, the infected area will be dissolved completely within 6 posts
Two or more levels above, the infected area will be dissolved within 8 posts.
Duration: The scythe is active until Yokkyu ends bankai, or switches to the Kusarigama. The poison lasts as long as Yokkyu strikes with the scythe.
Cooldown: None.

Name: Sutoraiku
Effect: When in Suraisu, when Sutoriku is said, the scythe morphs back into the Kusarigama. The Kusarigama is the same, 40 loot long chain, with a sickle attached to the end of it. The poison works the same as the break down poison, just instead of breaking down tissue, it numbs then paralyzes infected areas depending on level. The chart for how effective it is is above, just minus the part where it breaks down tissue.

Yokkyu Fuman
Known Techniques

Shunpo Variations

[Like all Shinigami/Vizards, Yokkyu obviously knows how to perform a relatively quick Shunpo.]

Shunpo - a movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow.The focal point that determines the basis of this technique is speed. As speed is the main point of the technique the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.Yokkyu has mastered this technique, and has is even able to perform a variation of the technique. Training and skill are what determines how fast a user of Shunpo can move; those of little skill in the technique or those who haven't used it an extended amount of time would obviously be out of practice, causing those individuals to be considerably slower, which requires the use of more steps to move the same distance and become winded far easier in a shorter amount of time.

Utsusemi: It allows for a movement at great speed leaving an afterimage behind. The afterimage may even appear to have taken damage.

Known Kido

Hado Spells: Yokkyu is well knowledged in the art of Hado and can perform spells up to Hado 88.

Bakudo - Well knowledged in Bakudo as well, Yokkyu can performs a Bakudo spell up no Bakudo 81
