❖ Personal Information ❖
Personality: Personality wise, Ryuketsu Nezumi is a cheerful person who can be serious as needed. However, he is not what he seems at all. Due to an accident on a field mission, he is also sadistic in combat and lacks to ability to feel guilt when committing a heinous act against people or animals, such as torturing them, murdering people in front of them or various other situations. Although worrisome to some, the condition is almost limited strictly to battle for some odd reason and he can be delightful to be around. All the same he should not be trusted with small animals such as birds or rabbits because he has began torturing them for little to no reason at all and they do sense this, often leaving soon before he appears.

Biography: As a child, Ryketsu wandered the Rukongai. He has no memory before that, aside from falling into a spring of water that was far hotter than any water he had ever been in. It wasn't until after his death he had learned he and a few others had been claimed by the "Akuma Onsen". In his second childhood, if it can be called that, Ryuketsu was more or less adopted by a family that was better off. Years went by, decades, a century or two. Finally, the Shinigami scouts came by. Their trip wasn't through the area, but the family had ties to the Shinigami in the Seireitei, although they weren't important ones. Even on his best behavior, he couldn't help but notice the Shinigami seemed a bit uncomfortable or acted as if they were faking some of what they were saying. After the small conversation, Ryuketsu Nezumi was invited to Shino Academy to try out his hand in becoming a Shinigami.
Another decade passed before Ryuketsu actually passed Shino Academy, and he was placed into the Fourth Division shortly afterwards. During his time in the Division, he did achieve Shikai, however, it was imperfect and only contained one move, and even only a fraction of the power at that. Nonetheless, that made people even more sure that he belonged with the medics until a field mission required is aide. During that field mission, Ryuketsu was supposed to heal any injuries sustained that night for his group. The hollows were not dangerous individually, but they were numerous. As the last few hollows were hunted down, he was hit in the head by a falling object. Whatever the object was, it held enough force to knock him unconscious and cause a head injury. Upon re-entering the Seireitei and back in his own division, he was examined and evaluated that the injury wasn't appearing serious, but may have caused some unknown brain damage. It turns out, he did in fact have a condition, though not one that would ever hinder him in a fight. The impact had actually hit his head in such a way, it shut down the portion of his brain that feels guilt. In other words, whenever he commits a murder or other action that would normally warrant the feeling of guilt and cause a sense of discomfort around others, the feeling that their eyes were blaming you, he felt nothing. It also made him mildly sociopathic, smiling a cheerful on the outside, but upon entering battle he could turn sadistic in a heart beat.
His condition was discovered before too long in subsequent medical examinations, and Ryuketsu was removed from the Fourth Division in fear that he may snap further and start killing patients. The Twelfth Division was interested in the trauma, but Ryuketsu declined their offer to join and went to the Eighth Division instead. After a few more centuries of moving through the ranks of the Eighth and training upon training upon training, Ryuketsu Nezumi changed divisions once more, having the full power of his Shikai. Now he sits as the Lieutenant of the Zero Division under his Captain Senari "Sen-sen" Himekaido
Family: No family any more
❖ Zanpakutō ❖
Zanpakutō Name: Futtō akuma onsen
Zanpakutō Spirit: The spirit itself is a perfectly normal looking hot springs. Upon closer inspection, it is boiling hot, able to melt the flesh from unsuspecting victims.
Attribute: Water
Sealed Appearance: The Sealed Appearance of Futto Akuma Onsen is a rather long chain with a six-inch blade (roughly 11cm) on each end. There is a hilt at the end of each blade, should he need to grab hold of something for blocking. The length of the chain is just enough to fly roughly six feet forward from his sleeves. Due to the length of the chain, it often appears he either has two zanpakuto or is able to swap sides quickly beneath his long, flowing clothes. It should be noted that he has the chain wrapped several times around his waist to make the weapon easier to handle. When not in use, the weapon is hidden up his sleeves in some form or another.
Inner World: The inner world is a craggy mountain side that is unusually hot. There is a single hot spring (the spirit) on the seemingly volcanic mountain side, but not much else.
❖ Shikai ❖
Shikai Command: Feel the heat, Futto Akuma Onsen
Zanpakutō Changes: The zanapkuto changes from a long chain into a large amount of water, enough to fill a hot spring to fit twelve people
Appearance Changes: Ryuketsu undergoes no changes
Ability Changes: There are no changes in element, save an addition to heat.
Battlefield Changes: There are no battlefield changes
Additional Changes:Ryuketsu contains the ability to move the water around at will and shape a single weapon from it at any given time. Although the water is flexible, the weapon is as solid as any zanpakuto and he may only form blades. Any flexible item lacks any amount of force aside from the force of the water itself hitting you.. Additionally, should any water of the move be lost, he may replenish it with instantaneous condensation from the air around him, at the cost of some reiryoku of course.
Power Boosts: Although there is no actual power increase other than that caused by the standard Shikai, some people may be intimidated by the amount of water.
Shikai Abilities:
Kami no iyashinomizu This move increases the body's natural regeneration rate drastically. For this ability to work, some portion of the body must be covered entirely by the water. This technique can last for an extremely long time but can become detrimental to both the user and the target's health. (15 post last, 3 posts of safety, danger increasing every post after, 7 post cool down)
Ondo seigyo This ability is passive and can be used at any time by Ryuketsu. By utilizing his reishi in the water of his Shikai, he can accelerate the particles and drastically increase the temperature of the water to a boiling point almost instantaneously. The move does not have a full range of control, however, and must remain at at least one hundred degrees Fahrenheit and maxes out at two hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit. He cannot rapidly increase or decrease the temperature in rapid succession though, needing at least one post before he can change the temperature again. (1 post wait before changing temp. again)
Konoyo no mitsudo Another passive ability, Ryuketsu may use this move to control the density of the water essentially changing it's weight. He may go no lower than the normal weight of the amount of water he has now and no higher than one collective ton. This does mean that he can have half the normal amount of water and make it weigh one ton or even a quarter, but the weight can go no lower than that amount of water naturally. He must wait one post to change the weight again. (1 post weight change wait)
Kaatsu sa reta onsen Ryuketsu opens up his mouth and the water flows into his body, essentially drinking the unearthly hot liquid. He may then spit the water back out with enough pressure to punch a hole through the middle of a large tree. While in his body, he may manipulate the temperature and weight of the water as he sees fit, making it a good counter measure for grapples since the weight would change his own weight and the temperature would of course rapidly increase his own body temperature. Sustaining this technique for too long is very unhealthy for him though. (5 post safe sustain, danger increasing every post after that, 5 post cool down)
Ekitai netsu A very varying technique. Upon use, Ryuketsu can hurl the water he has collected at the foe as a single mass or as a multitude of projectiles. Collectively, their power is always the same, the difference is the amount of water put into a single spot.
❖ Bankai ❖
Bankai Name: Konoyo no monode wanai no akuma onsen
Bankai Spirit Appearance: The Bankai spirit appearance only changes in that the water begins to visibly boil as if on the verge of exploding like a pressure cooker.
Bankai Command: Roast their flesh, Konoyo no monode wanai no akuma onsen
Zanpakutō Changes: The amount of water increases, doubling in total, allowing a bath for up to twenty-four people. However, the water is no longer a single mass, but two separate masses.
Appearance Changes: There are no changes to Ryuketsu still.
Ability Changes: Ryuketsu loses the ability to form weapons with the water, but the temperature is now constantly at a scorching two hundred fifty degrees. It also weighs at it's max of one collective ton. He also retains the ability to recollect water via condensation
Battlefield Changes: The area around Ryuketsu becomes very hot, as if scaling the side of a volcano.
Additional Changes: None
Power Boosts: Aside from the massive amount of pressure, there are none.
Bankai Abilities:
Onsen no akuma no hansha This move briefly covers Ryuketsu in the mass of water, pulling away to reveal him and a nearly identical copy. If one were to look closer, they would notice that the copy's body is flowing like water, casts a slight reflection of light, his shadow looks like that of of one looking through water, and his body temperature is higher. The water doppelganger has the same control of the water as Ryuketsu does, along with a detonation technique of its own. However, it lacks the power to use abilities like Ryuketsu has.
Ekitai shihai This technique slams the water into the ground, not only causing damage but leaving a thin coating of the water behind, if they water mass is moved. The water slicks the surface of the terrain, making getting a good footing hard but also allows Ryuketsu to move even faster across the surface, sliding about as if he were skating along the water's surface. However, he is easier to predict this way as well since he leaves a trail of disturbed water in his wake. Water left behind by this move must be recovered through condensation.
Onsen no akuma rīchi An odd move of Ryuketsu's bankai, this move is an almost physical version of a Shikai attack. Depending on the number of separate water sources in the area depends on the number of attacks. This move calls forth a massive hand from all visible pools of water formed from Ryuketsu's bankai. The hands generate a crushing force from their thrust forward and then attempt to grab the foe and drag them into the scalding water. Because the number of hands is dependent on the number of pools, this means that there can be as few as one and as many as thousands. However, they are the same strength collectively, meaning one is just as strong as a thousand, presuming all of the thousand hit.
