Zanpakuto's Name: Yawe
Zanpakuto's Sealed Appearance: A forward curving blade called a Kopis. It is a one handed weapon with an average length of about 3 feet (91 cm). The blade as black as the deepest pits of Hueco Mundo, a thin line of jade running down the center flowing tip to golden hilt & handle, the handle wrapped in black leather. The sheath also a deep black color, whilst a golden dragon runs the length, embeded into the leather, yet enough sticks out to feel its shape.



Zanpakuto's Inner World: A large mountain range, the largest of which is home to Yawe. In the middle of the vast circle of mountains lies a large lake, within an even larger meadow lined by trees of various types.
Zanpakuto's Inner Appearance: Standing at 5'4" Yawe has long silver-white hair flowing over her shoulders & wing joints, to the middle of her back. Her draconic wings span a total of 20' and seem to be built for speed. While still posses most of a human body and its slim feminine figure, Yawe posses a slender lengthy dragons tail along with her legs from the knee down being draconic and almost looking like clawed silver boots. On each hip rests the pure white form of a sword, Yawe's shikai but reversed in color.

Zanpakuto's Element: Wind. Melee/Ranged

Appearance Info
Appearance: Minoru stands at 5'11" with a slender athletic build, and weighing roughly 150lbs. His silvery-black hair runs down his back, stopping just above his tailbone. His deep jade(gold 'cracks' running out from their iris{unsure of pl?}) pierce the night sky.
Tattoos/Markings: Minoru's un-clothed back would reveal a 'X' shaped scar running diagonally from shoulder to hip, the 2 individual slashes mirroring each other perfectly.
Shinigami Outfit: Sleave-less, otherwise normal, Sheath strapped between the body and left arm, just above the hip when sealed. In shikai & bankai the 2 sheaths cross on Minoru's back, mirroring his scar.
Haori Appearance:(If Captain) Yet to be decided
Accessories/Items: A 'chain' with a yin-yang pendant, and a precious ring also on the chain.

Shikai

Shikai Name: Yawe[meaning Bond of Trust]
Release Command: Protect the worlds bonds, YAWE!
Shikai Appearance:
Dual Kopis, each almost 4ft in length, both blades keeping the sealed forms coloring. Now where the cutting edge would be found on the blade, there is a row of dragon like teeth now making up the cutting edge, the same density as the rest of the zanpakuto. These teeth can be hardened even further with the application of rietsu. A 2ft chain now dangles from each handle.
Shikai Ability: Increased speed & dexterity. Limited control over the wind.
Shikai Techniques:


Technique Name: Windscar
Description: With each 'slash' of the blade, 3 'blades' of wind rip forward towards their target, the wind in the attacks wake moves fast enough to cut as easily as any blade.
Cooldown: Two post.
Charge time&Fire time:
1 Blade = No charge time, 1 post to fire.
2 Blades = 1 post charge time, 2 posts to fire.
(In my mind this attack is very similar to Ichigo's GetsugaTenshou(shikai)
Along with a similar power increase from shikai-bankai. Lets say a 3rd seat were to use this on a captain, the result would be either;
A) captain blocks it and is pushed back a good distance before deflecting.
B) Breaking through opponents guard would leave an injury similar to the scar Ichigo gave Grimmjow.
C) Attack hits without resistance, the one hit would have one large overly bleeding wound, as well as many smaller cuts around the larger one(s).
*(Keep in mind the 3 wind blades are only as strong as a regular GetsugaTenshou)*

Bankai

Bankai Name: Eien no Yawe (Eternal Bond of Trust)
Bankai Command: has no release command besides "BANKAI!"
Bankai Appearance:Each Kopis now shortens to just longer than 3ft. The chain on each now extending to 10ft, on the end of each a 2nd handle of sorts. The dragon teeth become stronger, the color changing to gold while the rest of the blade remains black. The hilts of each blade now re-shape, becoming dragons than wrap around the top of the hilt and the wielders hands.
Bankai Techniques: Sabēji-fū(Savage Winds) 5 'fang-like' twisters erupt from the blades slash, the wind tearing around them is known to be as sharp as a blade, if not sharper. 3 Post charge time, 1 Post fire time, 5 Post cooldown.
Damage vs an equal; A) If blocked; the winds would continue forward, resulting in multiple small cuts, the defender would be pushed back until the attack either is deflected, or the attack has used all of its energy.

B) If taken head on; Taking this attacks full power would cause severe cuts, major blood-loss, the winds would push the person around like a ragdoll. Each fang like twister has the capability to puncture flesh easily.

Other notes; until mastered this ability can be just as harmful to the user, the winds would cut him without remorse. With each 'fang twister' that dissipates, the winds created by the overall attack would begin to die down.


Kaze kiba no hauringu (Howling wind fang) A phantom dragon appears, opening its maw with a mighty rawr, its 2 largest fangs coating in wind, with a bellow the wind fangs surge forward being pushed by a small cyclone. 2 Post charge time, 2 Post fire time, 3 Post cooldown.

First flaw; while charging the only defense is the cyclone force winds surrounding the user.
2nd Flaw; Direction can be controlled(each fang can be controlled be a hand), though at the loss of power(would become on par with Windscar if it was used in Bankai)

Unable to kill outright, the most damage this attack could cause is multiple gashes, immense bleeding, followed by collapse. Unlike Kaze Kiba no Hauringu there is not backlash. 3rd seat v Captain, the damage even if unblocked would not be enough for victory outright, it would cause clothing ripping, gashes, and blood-loss, leaving a good scar after. The true potential of this move is in its mobility and not its raw power.

History
History:
*Minoru!!! Its time to tell them abit about our history!! *
'Seriously.... why is it that whenever we find someone strong they always have questions??' I sighed and rested my head on my knee's.

Well I guess I can start with who I am and how I came to be in Soul Society. I'm Nao, Minoru my name means esteemed truth, I suppose that could be part of why my partner-of-soul is named Yawe(Bond of Trust) I arrived here in Soul Society after a quick death(I still cant quiet remember what happened) I was 19 when I showed up here, and at this point in time as I speak to you I am 119.

Arrival

When I had first woken up here I was confused at first, then as my vision cleared I quickly became worried. As I looked up from the ground I first saw 3 men, then noticed the blades in their hands, that was my first fight in Soul Society. In the end I had knocked out one of the 3, before killing the 2nd, and as I begun after the 3rd the man on the ground had stirred and slowly gotten to his feet. Next I knew I was on the ground run through the stomach, my blood pooling beneath me as I fell forward. My vision began to flicker I a saw a man in green show up, then I collapsed.

After a week of healing I was finally able to get out of the bed the man had lent me, and now I wanted answers. In the end all the man explained was where I was, and that he was going to train me until he said otherwise. I soon began callin the stranger Hat-n-Clogs(sadly not our favorite, just someone who idolized him and is just as helpful). Finally after 2 years of training hand-to-hand and learning to control my rietsu, Hat-n-Clogs was finally going to help be retrieve my own Zanpakuto.

Meeting Yawe

-Minoru's Inner World-

'Hey Yawe, feel like sharing the story tellin a bit?'
*Sure, we're talkin about how you met me right Minoru?*

*Since Minoru asked, I'll tell the story of how he came to finally meet me* Takes a seat at the peak of one of her mountains.

*I suppose the easiest place to start would be what caused Minoru to meet me as soon as he did. No joke, before I had finally met him I was still expecting it too take years.... but then again life or death can always push someone that far*

-Yawe, your reminiscing too much. Where here to tell em about us briefly for now- Minoru taunted me before joining me at the peak.

*Anyways it was 5 days after that Hat-n-Clogs guy took off saying that Minoru's 'Training' was finished... oh how wrong he was... Minoru was on the way to his home, being on his own and having the space Minoru tended to take young ones in, sadly on this day as Minoru walked the usual trail he spotted our young friend Kanda on the ground in the center of a circle of bandits.* I shift and rest my face in my hands.

*When Minoru saw that he couldn't help BUT to try and help the poor boy, that day I saw more blood flow from Minoru's body than I ever had up to this point. Minoru had managed to take a few of the bandits by surprise before the rest drew their blades and attacked, Minoru did his best to fight them off, and in the end kept Kanda safe. Sadly at the cost of Kanda's safety Minoru nearly lost his life, and he would have if it wern't for instinct.* I sighed deeply.

-I'll take it from here Yawe- I felt her scoot closer as a wing wrapped around me.

- That day, when I knew Kanda was safe, I almost gave up, almost. Thats when I heard her... at the time I thought I was going insane, all I heard was Yawe yelling HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST YOU TO WIELD ME WHEN YOUR ALREADY GIVING UP!!! there was a bright glow, and a gust of wind, next I knew I had the sealed form of Yawe in my hand. It was then that I acted....no became a moster is more suitable, even in my weakened state I ended up ruthlessly killing all the bandits in my presence before I regained control.-

*What Minoru didn't know at the time was that I acted for him to save his life, and that is how we met*

After a 50 year absence

-Normally I'd explain in detail the training Yawe and myself went through in the 50 years we disappeared from Rukongai, but this is not the time, although I will say in those 50 years I had begun learning many things as well as nearly mastering Yawe's shikai.-

- For the next 50 years(leading up to the present) myself and Yawe spent nearly every waking moment training, withini 10 years Yawe had pulled me into my inner world to master shikai, funny enough all I had to do was trust her. Much like how a shinigami can give their powers, Yawe and I came closer and I mastered her shikai when she stabbed me in the heart, in a way 'transferring' her power to me. In the moment she stabbed me I had glimpsed the next step, Bankai.-

*Little did Minoru know how much danger his want for Bankai would put us in. We began travelling again, going through Rukongai 'cleaning up' any bandits we found. About 25 years ago(from the present) Minoru had decided that maybe pushing his limit would help with achieving Bankai, and while he was right, neither of us were ready for what was gunna happen.*

- We had found a large village that had been overrun by bandits, and me being me I HAD to help and HAD to grow stronger. Thats when the first in a series of bad things to happen, happened. We came upon a group of men at the gate, we knew they were bandits, but they were stronger than others we had fought. In the end we had defeated up, suffering a cut along my left arm. After gaining entrance to the city I was quickly ambushed then taken to their leader Kaino Brisingr, who we quickly found out used to be a 3rd seat in the Gotei 13. I found myself quickly fighting for my life against Kaino, things were going well and I was pushing back, thats when he used something called 'Tempest Turn' (Similar to shunpo but leaves 3 after images) during this attack of his I quickly felt the warmth of my blood on y back before I registered the pain of the 'X' cut into my back.-

*It was then Minoru passed out, then his instinct took over, when this happened he subconscious somehow activated Bankai, then 3 things happened, the first was the boost in rietsu nearly crushing his body, the second was terrifying, Minoru had suddenly killed every bandit in the room except Kaino, then the 3rd happened, Minoru used Sabeji-Fu, nearly ripping himself apart in the process.*

-I sadly spent the next 10 years after that recovering, after a decade without training I had 3 problems, 1 my new scar disturbed my rietsu control, 2. I now had painful fits that could paralyze me, and 3. I was out of shape.-

Training Again

- During the next 15 years leading up to now, I would spend 7 of those years re-mastering Yawe's shikai, it was a long process due to my new fears... After what had happened I had hid myself away in a shell, and it took 7 years of Yawe kicking my ass for me to come out of it. The next 8 years I spent training in a cavern I found just outside of the Seireitei. I tried my hand in Kido and found I could only truly use 4 spells, for reasons I do not know. By now I knew how to use Bankai, but I still lacked the control to sustain it, maybe fear holds me back as well in this case.

I spent the last 4 years before this point periodically visiting the gate guard I was near... We never did much, I'd show up, we talked about ourselfs, and our lifes in Soul Society, in the end I have him to thank, if he didn't put up with me for 4 years I don't think the shinigami would have ever noticed me unless I caused them trouble.

I know I went through the last years up to this point vague, but a shinigami has just arrived and wants me to follow him.-

*Finally we get in, after so many years.*
- I know Yawe, its been so long on our own hasn't it, hopefully we meet good people.-

Ok it needs a division
Shunko is s 2nd division skill only
Your history is far to short
All your attacks need cooldowns in posts please and a damage scale based on tier differances
And unless you get a high tier bankai will be not possible in rp
Good job though

Updated main post. Also if the history still isn't long enough I may need a bit of help to make it longer, cause I currently can't think up enough back story atm.

No need for reiatsu drains for your techniques also need damage based off tier differences

If your techniques need a charge time add them and please post cooldowns

this technique should have at least a two post.cooldown

Technique Name: Windscar Description: With each 'slash' of the blade, 3 'blades' of wind rip forward towards their target, the wind in the attacks wake moves fast enough to cut as easily as any blade. High drain of rietsu (10%[assuming that 10% would be a high drain for a shikai ability]) Can only be used 4-5 times before it becomes risky{below 50% rietsu}

Your history is just too summarized my friend, on you died and in months you succeeded in "materializing" your zanpakutou. Very well, how did this happen and what experiences did you go through for it to teach you it's name? No one knows their zan name right off the bat, it is something you earn.

The way a history becomes worthy of big boosts is by turning it into a sort of self rp in a sense. You cant just say you obtained something, you have to show how you obtained it. Like your scar, you dont mention the cause at all, I want to read about the event that cause that. I want to see what kind of training you did to obtain bankai.

If this doesn't help you out then you can pm me and I can give you some ideas ^^ Good luck!

Alright, I think I did alot better this time with the revisions lemme know!

Looking better but your techniques still needs a damage guide please.

- Note to self, don't mess with Minoru's history anymore unless expanding.

Hopefully everything for my Zanpakuto's abilities is done right now

This gets my approval at 1-2

Just one question though, how are you a shinigami/human? Since you died your "human" status was lost.

"You cant be a human and dead tto be a human/shinigami you need to be more of a subsitute to do that or in a giga all the time but either way with a giga you are dead period

Although its mostly pointless that Minoru is Shinigami/Human because he is now in soul society. It would have made more sense if I put a bit more thought into it, I could have had it so that Minoru was at least aware of his power before death or something like that. I wanted to make a shini/human hybrid who would have had his shikai and had good knowledge of its abilities before he was to die. But alas I didn't do that with Minoru, so perhaps I could just make him a pure shinigami if needed.

Indeed, because you did not do this, you aren't truly a hybrid. I'm not picky enough to force you to remove it since technically you are a human soul who has shinigami powers~ But to save confusion down the line you might want to edit it out anyways.

Yeah either edit or be a substitue soul reaper like Ichigo is, that is the only way for either way all shinigami were once humans either way so either you truely did died and went through everything, becoming an shinigami or your a subsitute soul reaper.

Bankai Techniques: Sabēji-fū(Savage Winds) 5 'fang-like' twisters erupt from the blades slash, the wind tearing around them is known to be as sharp as a blade, if not sharper. 3 Post charge time, 1 Post fire time, 5 Post cooldown. The overall power of this attack would be slightly more powerful than Ichigo's GetsugaTenshou(in bankai) and would just tail the power Ichigo's vizard mask would it to his GetsugaTenshou

Your attack is no where close to ichigo's getsuga in bankai. It can be your most powerful attack
After that change is made i'll give my approval as well for tier 1-2

Well the problem here is comparing your technique to the techniques of someone else who isn't even going to be the same tier as you. It's akin to comparing your strongest punch to that of a giants or a childs. Your base levels of power are so different that there really is no comparison. Instead of referring to an existing technique which will change in power depending on the tier of the user, refer to the effects it would have against someone of the same tier.
