Zanpakutō

Name: Zetsumei
Spirit's Appearence: A dark shadow that often takes the form of an old man. The man has dark ragged hair and a rough beard. There are very few features to be discerned, as the spirit is shadow and moves around alot, causing a sort of trail, or is entirley invisible.

The Right Sword: Zetsumei is the lord of shadows.

Abilities:

Name: Shirudo

The 'teleportaion' can only be used once every 3 posts. This also increases the power of all his attacks, such as now Gosunkugi forms a complete sphere around the target.

It is a last defence where Shikyo can temporarily negate the enemies senses (ie.

Its appearance and function is reminiscent of a common magician's trick, as well as certain torture devices used during the Spanish Inquisition.

The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired"

Description: Ties the target's arms on the back in addition to wrapping the spiritual fabric around the entire body, and continues to pin the target with spiritual fabric stacked to the ground around the target with several iron shafts in an "X" shape.

History:

Shikyo used to carry around a small wooden sword with him from the age 2. He lived in one of the poorest regions of West Rukongi, and had to resort to theft for food, there was no other way, or else he would die. Many of the shop keepers would let him steal their food, leaving it purposely exposed and wouldn't chase after him, because they felt sorry for him.

He was very skilled swordsman, for a six year old at least anyway. He had made a few friends, also very poor and wandering the streets, like him. It was ironically his seventh birthday, the day of the entrance exams that was. He left and waved good bye to his friends at the gate.

He did well in the exam, and ended up in the top class at the shinigami academy.

It was in his fourth year that he was approached by a tall man, who wore a pink kimono. He was the captain of the 7th squad, Shunsui Kyouraku, and he was there with an offer. He requested that from now on, Shikyo was to be trained by him directly, until he was old enough to join the Gotei 13.

The training seemed constant, but it flew by, and before he knew it he was in the 7th squad.

When Shikyo turned 16, he became the 3rd seat of the 7th squad. And before long was invited to become the lieutenant of the 13th squad. It was during his time as the lieutenant , that Shikyo unlocked bankai, and roughly the same time a captain spot opened up. He decided to give it ago, and went for the captain trials.

He did well, but lost the position to another. So once again he was stuck as lieutenant under Ukitake.

It was 20 soul society years later that the position opened up again. Now, much more powerful, he went for the captains trials again.

This time he was accepted and so became a captain. He was a captain for well over a three hundred years before it happened.

He never talks about why he left soul society, the only other man to know was Captain Commander Yamamoto. And if ever brought up he would quickly change the subject, sometimes with the added words, 'he was one of the best captains we've ever had.'

Shikyo then settled down in the human world, in a place called Karakura Town, after trekking the world. He became good friends with a man named Uruhara Kisuke. This brings us roughly to the present.


Personality:
Shikyo is a kind man, most of the time. He is rather lazy and calm and rarely puts in his full effort. He is inteligent, but not to that of a man like Kisuke or Kurotsuchi.
