Wardrobe: The dark haired shinigami's wardrobe reflects his own stand offish personality. His standard robes are tattered and worn looking, the sleeves missing on either side. Each arm is wrapped in bandages, roughly tied and loose at the ends so that they drape from his limbs. His right arm also has strapped to it an old and worn fukutaichou's badge. Most often it is not visible beneath his haori, but even when it is, the inscriptions on it are illegible.
On his left wrist is black manacle. Around his neck and the lower portion of his face he wears a mask. A black collar also adorns his neck, which often garners awkward glances.
His haori has no special traits. It is sleeveless but looks to be in otherwise new condition, a stark contrast to his tattered looking robes.

Physical Appearance: The shinigami has dark unkempt hair which often covers his face. Many piercings adorn his ears, and a black tattoo bearing the kanji "strength" may be found on his forearm.

Birthday: September 13th
Likes: Reading, art
Dislikes: Fighting, large crowds
Fears: Bright, over crowded gatherings

Personality:
Kitsutai is socially awkward. That is, unless distracted with a goal in mind. When it comes to pressing a point, formulating tactics, or leading a company, he has a firm strong personality and speaking tone.
In all other instances, he is a quiet, shy type who often keeps to himself, although he secretly wishes to have a normal friendship. Despite his intimidating appearances, he is really a kind hearted soul, who fronts with a stoic mask in order to protect himself.
Kitsutai remembers only pieces of his past. Nothing more than an occasional flashback that he doesn't understand. because of this, he holds dearly the memories he makes in his new life, and often fears that history will repeat itself and he will forget again.

Past Divisions: He is believed to have previously held a Fukutaichou (Vice Captain) position. He is recorded to have been previously Captain of Squad 6 as well.

History: Kitsuati Roland does not recall much from his past. A glint here, a glimmer of memory there, but nothing solid, however much he may wish to remember. He simply woke one day, finding himself in a medical bay in the fourth division headquarters of Seireitei. He awoke confused and scared, and retracted immediately from the bright light pouring through the bay windows. Once he calmed, it was explained to him that he'd been found in a cavern on a low level mission to Hueco Mundo. They had merely been checking for hollow activity in the area when they found him there, in a deep coma. This had been a month prior to when he woke.

When questioned, he could remember neither his name, nor how he'd gotten there. Further questioning was presented as to why he wore a Vice's armband, and who he may have taken it from, as well as why he was carrying two Zanpaktou. He had none of these answers.

However, when his Zanpaktou were brought before him, he instantly remembered their names.
"Anei'ryu and kage'ryu. My zanpaktou.."

After his recovery, Kitsuati was asked to be tested at the shinigami academy. When he proved himself sufficient in kido and the use of his twin Zanpaktous, he was asked to become an unseated officer in Squad 1 of the Gotei 13. Hesitant, he accepted, feeling that the leaders of Gotei 13 merely wanted to watch him, rather than make him feel welcomed.

But time and again he proved himself. Not only to display power and skill, but restraint in using it. As the need arose, he was asked to perform before three captains, to display his shikai and bankai at their fullest, and if successful, to lead Division 6. He met their expectations without fail, and accepted the position without hesitation.

Kage'ryū seitei suru koto. [Enact, Kage'ryu.]
Appearance: Kage'ryu retains the visage of a normal blade. However, it grows noticeably longer, and the steel changes to that of pitch black. In it's released state, the blade has no hilt guard, and the hilt itself is wrapped in a black wrapping. designed for swift agile movements, the blade is thin but incredibly sharp.
Abilities: As it is fed reiatsu from it's sibling blade, it will begin to glow. The more reiatsu is fed into the blade, the greater this glow will expand. When it has retained enough reiatsu, the blade exhibits a special ability. When it makes contact, it is unable to cut, but rather becomes intangible, passing through the intended target. However, the area surrounding the point on the opponents body will mirror the blade, turning black. A limb, for instance, will turn to heavy black metal, the muscles becoming useless, causing paralysis. The ability is one of keen precision. The wielder controls how much reiatsu is released and how far the effect will spread.
Restrictions: If the wielder's reiatsu becomes low, or he is unable to absorb sufficient reiatsu, he will not be able to activate this ability. Furthermore, and considerable amount of reiatsu must be transferred before this ability may be activated, and after repeated used, the ability will fade.

Appearance: The blade seemingly does not change from it's original shikai state.
Abilities: It has but one effect, if the shadow of the blade makes contact with the shadow of it's opponent's body, it can effect the opponent as if it had made physical contact.
However, regardless of it's opponent's spiritual pressure, it will always cut if physical contact is made. This is why it's bankai is called conclude. No matter the difference in power, it has the ability to end a battle.
Restrictions: Unlike it's sibling blade, Kage'ryu's shadow is constant, in that it cannot change shape at will. Similarly, it can be affected by the effects of light. It cannot cut through shadow if it's opponent's spiritual pressure is higher.

Anei'ryū wo torikeshi masu. [Revoke, Anei'ryu]
Appearance: Anei'ryu remains much like a broad sword in it's released state. It does not have a sheath, but is kept slung across her wielder's back at most times. The blade has a large ornate hilt guard with various inscription etched across it. The hilt itself it wrapped in white. The blade is that of a pale gray color.
Abilities: Anei'ryu has has exponential defensive capabilities. It's broad blade is thick and powerful for defending oncoming strikes, but it is slow moving. The blade itself carries a unique trait, the ability to absorb and channel both physical energy and reiatsu. When the blade is used to deflect or block a kido or other reiatsu based offense, it is absorbed and may be channeled into it's sibling blade. When a physical attack is blocked or deflected, the energy may be transferred into the wielder to give him endurance and revitalize his strength after a tiring battle.
Restrictions:
Though energy may be absorbed into the blade at any time, this energy cannot be transferred if the blade in in bright or direct light.

Anei'ryū no hōfuku wo modoshi masu. [Bring retribution, Anei'ryu.]
Appearance: In it's bankai state Anei'ryu becomes a long shimmering pale blade, seemingly the same as it's shikai state.
Abilities: Anei'ryu's true abilities are activated when it touches it's wielder's shadow. It sinks, merging into the shadow entirely. As long as it is in effect, the shadow will not disappear regardless of the effects of light, and it's shape behaves erratically, constantly shifting. The blade can reform at the user's will, a dragon like shape emerging from the shadow. It's hard scales create an perfect defense, and the speed at which it may be summoned rarely leaves openings. Similarly, the dragon can "bite" the shadow of an opponent when their shadows meet, causing paralysis in the effected area. For instance if the opponents arm were to cast a shadow overlapping the wielder's, then the dragon can cause paralysis in that limb.
Restrictions: Although the wielder's shadow cannot be effected by light, the shadows of his opponent and surrounds can be effected. If the opponent's shadow is somehow removed, then the paralyzing effect cannot be put into play. Similarly, if the dragon is not submerged in shadow, for instance if it is blocking an attack, it cannot use it's paralyzing bite should a shadow cross it. It must be completely submerged to enact this form of attack.
