Nicknames: The Bright Shadow, The Shadow of Seireitei
Position: Captain of Squad 7
Age: Unknown
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: Unknown
Personality: Usually calm, almost distant at times when he is in deep thought. He is very clever and can find a way out of anything. He usually travels atop buildings and such instead of traveling by conventional means. He likes to meet new people but he hates disrespect. He always takes pride in his speed, cunning, and crazy physical strength, even if his zanpakuto isn't the best out there. Because of his zanpakuto not being all that destructive, Takashi has mastered plenty of different combat styles to assist him in battle, such as kido and hakudo. Because he excells in such areas, Takashi is a tough and deadly Captain.
Theme song: Nube Negra by Shirō Sagisu
Physical Description: He looks like he is in his lower twenties. He is muscular and athletic, but not huge. His face looks like a young man, yet he has white hair; symbolizing his wisdom, even in youth. His eyes are red and there is a black line going down each of his eyes. His expression is usually very solemn and calm. He doesn't wear a typical shinigami outfit. He usually wears some form of an altered Shinigami uniform. He also, at most times, has some sort of eye patch covering one of his eyes, mostly known to be used to create a shadow on his eye so he can use it to see from the view of distant shadows. On his chest and aross his body there are numerous markings(tattoos).
Exact Physical Image: My avi is always some form of him.
Specialty: Dimension twisting, very quick thinking and fast movement, shadow energy manipulation, and close range combat as well as hand-to-hand. He fights very uniquely and he has many different combat styles and tactics up his sleeve, as he once served as a Vice Captain in the Tactics Specialists, Squad 6.
Special Skills: Speed, sheer physical strength, agility, using dimension twisting to make traps or sneak around, hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship, eyes that are used to high speeds making me able to see inhuman movement and reacting quickly, and analyzing a situation and coming up with a solution.
Bio: Nothing is really known about Takashi's backstory. Only that he was a child genius of some sort and studied battle strategy at an early age. Many rumors are said about his mysterious backstory though.
Speed Abilities
Dashing - A most basic technique that allows the user to throw him/herself, in a most decent speed, to a certain direction using a certain angle of which way the the stance is directed and executed.
Air Walk - By collecting and solidifying spiritual particles beneath the feet, the user can gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop himself from falling.
Shunpo (Flash-Step) - A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow.
Utsusemi - It is the 4 ways of the Shihou through Shunpo which is also known as "Utsusemi". It's ability is a speed known to be so fast that the user leaves an afterimage of him/herself. Its affect is most absolute, superb, and flawless if ever fully perfected. And to be more specific, Utsusemi's speed is so fast, that the enemy can practically feel and touch the physical body of the afterimage and not even know the very fact that it is nothing more but an afterimage. Its very image can so easily deceive to the eyes of the enemy.
Zanpakutou
Name: Dimensia
Appearance: A katana that when unsheathed seems to have shadow energy flowing from it. Full lightweight shadow armor with shadow energy and shadow wires coming from it. The hands and feet of the armor are claws. Usually the armor doesn't encase his head, but it can in case of an emergency.
Shikai
Technique 1: Release: Upon the command, "Distort, Dimensia", and me touching the hilt of my blade, which means it can be sheathed and released at the same time, I become surrounded in shadows and shadow energy twisting around me. The actual sword disappears and I can make it reappear in either a shadow portal anywhere, or I can make it appear from just energy in my hand. As I become surrounded in shadow energy it encases my body and transforms it into my Dimensia Armor, used to manipulate dimensions and shadows easily, as well as give me a few other abilities. The armor is powerful enough to block blades and increases my already fast speed and already great strength enormously, which gives my kicks and punches extremely fast speed and power and my movement speed and flash stepping a huge boost. The armor can be released to my full body, as well as to just specific parts depending on what I choose. The armor also has shadow energy and shadow wires, which are used for grabbing all sorts of things and they can also harden to block a blade and attack. My blade, if unsheathed becomes surrounded in twisting shadow energy as well. I can move shadows on the ground as dimension holes to jump into one and out another; this also meaning I can manipulate the shadows to different shapes. The portal manipulation part of his Zanpakuto release is one of his favorite abilities and uses it well. A lesser ability of his is to use the shadow on his eye that his eyepatch creates to look through the view of distant shadows.
Technique 2: Creation: I use my Dimensia Armor to create shadows in different shapes(Varying from people, trees, spikes, etc.) that after they are formed on a surface, are created out of the shadow. For example, I can create a shadow of a tree on the ground and a tree will sprout up from that location, either made of shadows, or even a real tree that I transported from a different dimension. With this technique, I can also create shadow spikes and spires, or any other shape that come out the ground to hit my enemy, or just for practical purposes like transportation in the air.
Technique 3: Restriction: I can manipulate the shadows on the ground, and even move them off the ground and into the air to grab enemies or stop them in their tracks. These shadows can grab anything like if I was grabbing it, except they have quite a lot of strength and are surging with reiatsu. I can throw the enemy once grabbed or I can combine it with another technique. For example, I can tie the enemy up in shadows, and then force shadow spikes into wherever the shadow is engulfing them.
Bankai
Release: Takashi's Dimensia Armor gets even more powerful and is able to block even more attacks with just its strength alone. His speed and physical strength once more greatly increases which means his kicks and punches are on an insane level. He can transport by just touching the surace of one shadow and almost instantly reappearing at a different shadow, even if the distance between the two is far. All of Takashi's shikai techniques are enhanced and in his Bankai form only half of the required spirit energy that he would use for the techniques is needed. His tattoos turn into shadows on his body that flow around and can be used for quick self defense.
Kido:
Takashi excels in Kido and practices frequently in his spare time. He always works on his kido so he will be able to use it quickly and effectively during battle. He is educated enough in kido to usually skip the incantation for most spells, although he does not always skip it because a spell reaches its max power when the incantation is used.
