~Information~
Name: Asami Yamamoto
Age: Appears: 19 Actually: 400
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual [not interested in either sex]
Personality: Asami is a very happy, cheerful and all around nice person, even to people she doesn’t know. She seems to always be in a good mood, and is always willing to lend a hand when and where she can. She loves to help people and though she would never request a reward or anything in return, she would never turn down some money. When it comes to her friends and people she is close to she is extremely defensive. However she tends to be defensive of people she doesn’t even know. Not wanting to see people killed for senseless reasons.
Contrary to her personality she enjoys fighting, as long as there is no killing intent. However if someone is attacking her with the intent to kill or attacking someone else with the intent of killing them she will set aside her feelings to put them in their place. She will only use lethal force as a last resort. When brought to serious fighting she is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat and can be a deadly opponent.
Bio: Back before her Death Asami was a very kind hearted woman. She would always stand up for those who were too weak to stand up for themselves. From a very early age she had told her parents she wanted to take Karate classes to learn the martial arts. Her parents finally complied when she turned 6. She took to the arts extremely fast, within 4 years she had surpassed her master in terms of skill. She was said to be a prodigy of the arts, for surpassing a man who had devoted his lifetime to the art within only 4 years. When she completed this she decided she wanted to learn more styles of martial arts. Her next style was Aikido which focuses on redirecting the energy of opponent’s attacks. Asami enjoyed this style much more than Karate and practiced it constantly. She felt it was a style that suited her much more than Karate since it was less aggressive, requiring the opponent to strike first. She spent 5 years on this style, mastering every aspect of it. After 5 years of practice, training and more practice she felt she had hit a stand-still in her studies. Feeling that she had no more to learn in the art, as such she decided to move to another style of Martial Arts, that being Judo. Asami chose this style because she felt it complimented Aikido since Judo focuses on throws and joint locks. She studied this style for two years before she lost her life to illness. Throughout the time she battled with her illness she did not give up on her studies. She collapsed while practicing Judo and was unable to be brought around. She died shortly after.

She seeming awoke shortly after, to her it was as if she had fallen asleep and awoke with her illness gone. However she quickly realized that this was not the case. She was in a new place, she looked different and she had a vast overflowing power coming from within her.

~Zanpakutō~
Sealed Form Appearance: http://www.prestoimages.com/store/rd2267/2267_pd1858938_1.jpg
Name: Shirubaa Sukin [Silver Skin]
Element: Steel/Wind
Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: Shirubaa takes the form of a human, however its body is entirely silver and at various places it has cracks running through it. The various cracks will run and intersect where there will be areas where the silver skin is missing, revealing black nothing-ness inside. The cracks that run along the skin always run in lines, closer inspection reveal that they are running in between the hexagonal shapes. Around the areas where the silver skin is missing it is evident that the shell is made up of the same hexagonal shapes that make up the armor of its released forms. The eyes are hollow with an eerie ethereal green glow radiating from them. There are holes on her left shoulder, which consumes most of her shoulder. There is a hole on her right temple which is rather small. The lower section of her left leg appears to be completely missing, however she does not stand with any hindrance, giving the hint that there is an invisible being just within the shell. The forearm of her right arm also appears to be missing, however her hand is covered in the scales. There is also a decent sized hole from where her bellybutton should be. The cracks that are in her skin run out from the holes in the skin.

Shikai Appearance: Shirubaa Sukin can be released without the Zanpakuto being unsheathed. When it released in this manner there is no apparent chance to its owner’s appearance until its abilities are activated. When its abilities are activated a vast amount of tiny hexagonal shapes flash a silver color across the owner’s skin and outfit. The flashes of silver runs like a wave, quickly fading back to look as if there is nothing there. They will then break away from the owner’s body and swarm around the body rapidly. They will converge inwards toward the body snapping in together leaving no space between the Hexagons. This continues all the way down to even cover the bottom of the owner’s feet. The hexagons then fuse together to take on the true appearance of the Shikai. If it is given its true release then this is it will do to begin with, rather than at first being invisible.

The true appearance of the Shikai is a silver skull like mask. A black layer covers the head that would be left exposed by the mask, however it does not cover her hair[but it still protects this part of her head]. This layer also covers the neck, chest and arms. Overtop of this layer on the hands and forearms are what appear to be martial artist hand-wraps, these are also formed around the chest, on the chest they end just below the breasts. The hand-wraps are a light tan in color. The lower half of the outfit is quite interesting. The hexagons move inwards and rip apart the shinigami pants, they then arrange themselves and form a pair of fairly tight pants, the pants are black in color. Over this forms a sarong, on the right side it drapes down to the ankle. Around the back it is cut at an angle, moving up to wrap back around just above the knee on the left leg. Around the waist are three belts, one that runs straight across the waist and two that are angled to the right. A pair of black combat boots form on her feet. The hexagonal pattern is still apparent on the Sarong, it is the same silver-black color as the mask.

Shikai Command: Shiirudo [Shield]

Shikai Abilities: Burokku is a Zanpakuto that focuses purely on defense and endurance/stamina. The only physical enhancement it gives is that of endurance/stamina, it in no way increases speed, strength or anything else. It does not grant its owner any special attacks, or abilities. Instead it gives its owner incredible defensive powers. The hexagonal plates are composed of a special alloy that is able to withstand great amounts of force as well as reiatsu/reiryoku based attacks. The small plates are indestructible, however they can be knocked lose from the body with enough force. They hold a secret that helps to make up for the possibility of being knocked lose, which is a constant, unnoticeable wind that is always circling the owner’s body. The wind is used to cushion attacks [both physical and reiatsu/reiryoku] before they reach the plates, which makes the attacks much softer before they connect. Giving a much greater chance that the plates will be able to stay connected to the owner’s body. If they are knocked form the body they take a few minutes to recover. [Four to Five posts.]

Bankai Appearance: When the phrase Bankai is called out the sarong of Asami’s shikai begins to fall apart into the Hexagonal shards that make it up. As it falls apart the shards fall to the ground and seemingly sink into the ground, the ground around them rippling as they pass through. When all the shards have passed into the ground a huge burst of Reiryoku surrounds her. The Reiryoku is dark silver in color with shimmering green streaks that match the color in her hair. The Reiryoku is so thick that it is impossible to see through. Within the area that is encompassed by her Reiryoku the shards begin to resurface, after they have all returned from the earth they position themselves in the air and rotate around her body. The shards multiply as they rotate around her body.

After a moment the shards begin to rapidly converge on her left arm, forming into a gigantic shield. The shield is so large that it can easily shield her entire upper-body, the shield is this style. On the face of the shield are the Kanji for “Crisis” the shield is known as the “Crisis Core.” Once the shield forms there is still a vast amount of shards left. These shards cover her body, forming a second layer of armor. The shards converge from the feet up. The boots that were from her shikai retain the same look, however the hexagonal pattern can be seen on the boots, the hexagonal shards are outlined by white. The pants that form are white, with black outlining the hexagonal shards. The sarong then reforms, this time a dark black in color with silver outlining the shards. The black skintight material that covered her upper-body is now overlaid with a similar material, however this material is white. The black of the previous material shows through between the hexagonal shards. Black martial arts hand-wraps form on her left hand, the wraps cover her entire hand and go half-way up her forearm. The same hand-wraps form on her right arm, however they cover her entire hand and go the entire way up her arm and then cover her chest. The wraps end just below her breasts.

Extended Name: Doragonsukeerushirubaasukin [Dragon Scale Silver Skin]

Bankai Abilities: Asami’s Bankai gives her even greater defensive abilities than her Shikai. The shield of her Bankai known as “Crisis Core” is capable of stopping any attack, however every attack it stops causes a piece of the kanji on her shield to turn green[same color as her eyes], the Kanji hold 10 different parts. When every part of the Kanji has been turned red the shield will overflow with a green energy[same green as her eyes]. This is the shields way of cooling off and releasing all the energy from the attacks it received. It takes 10 minutes[10 posts] for the shield to become reusable, 1 part of the kanji returning to its normal color every minute[every post]. One piece of the Kanji is used up every strike that hits the shield, no matter how weak or strong it is. When the energy begins to overflow from the shield Asami must remove the shield from her arm or she will be consumed by the power that overflows. However, when the power if overflowing from the shield it can be turned into a gigantic claymore sword that can release all the damage it blocked in one blow. Afterwards the sword can be used as a regular weapon. After 10 posts pass the sword will revert back into the shield. Once the sword reverts into the shield it takes an additional 5 posts before the shield can be used. The longer Asami waits to launch the attack of the Claymore the less power it has since one piece of the Kanji releases its energy every minute.

In addition to the shield her armor now carries two layers. The hexagonal shards are slightly harder to knock off than in the Shikai form, in addition there are two layers to dismantle before reaching Asami’s flesh to inflict damage. The barrier of wind that encompasses her body is also slightly stronger than that of her Shikai. The Bankai increases her endurance even more so than her shikai did as well. This time it also increases her speed, when wielding her shield she moves at the same speed as if she was in her unreleased form, or shikai. Since the shield weighs a ton whenever the shield is down in its recharge time she moves at double her initial speed. If she is using the claymore her speed is slightly faster than normal. Other than endurance and speed there are no enhancements to her abilities.
