History/Background:
Age: 231
Gender: Male
Personality:
Tenzen is highly intellegent and very silent. These are usally the first things people take note of when meeting the man. You can see by the very way he looks with his dulled, deep thought look and yet cold, hawk shaped eyes how smart the man must be. He always is observing the things and people around him. Taking in all the details, movments, sounds smells. Tenzen is a man who likes to know everything that is going on around him. It is these set of habbits that have made him the deadly fighter he is when he does pick to fight. That said he is also silent as before noted. Tenzen trys to surpress his emoitons. He bealives there a hinderance to a shinigami looking to become powerful.Appearance:
To help him to do this he picks to avoid alot of conversaiton and thusly deprive him of forming bonds with other people. It isnt that he hates people, he just doesn't want to be weighed down due to his ambiton of becoming a captain one day. When he does speak it is usally responding to somthing a higher officer said and even then it's usally short and always to the point. Tenzen is very dedicated and follows the rules to the tippest T. Some even compare him to Byakuya in that aspect.
They both obay the rules and they both would kill, without hesitation and with cold calculaiton, any enemy of the Soul Society. The diffrence bettwen the two comes in the biggest forms of there reasons for doing so. Byakuya who had a tradgedy befall him and Tenzen who simply strives for more power, respect and a higher rank. They also differ in the fact that Tenzen doesn't care if the ones around him brake rules, he only cares if he does. Some call Tenzen cold hearted, emoitonless and some fear him for this. It isnt all true, atleast..not yet.
Rather happy or mad though, Tenzen is mostly the same. He keeps the same composure, even in hard battles. There are a few things that make him smile however, one of them being raman, the other being a good book. It's rare but if he is reading, for some reason Tenzen has the softest of smiles and kindest of eyes. It's perhaps a sign of a possble split in persona. But the truth is, he is in the end a very kind man. He just picks to hide in the dark.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
Tenzen Shinamora
In some what similer manner to Rinji Abaria, Tenzen's Zanpakuto has two spirits. Athough unlike Zabimaru which seems to be two spirits in one body, the spirits within this Zanpakuto are two completely diffrent entities. The first is a male who weilds a crescent shaped sword named Haruka. Haruka is in some ways a reflecton of Tenzen in the fact he is cold and some what cruel, though thats where the simularites end. Haruka is very hot headed and is prone to explosive burst of power if denied somthing or if somthing goes wrong, which translate into a great shock of pain for Tenzen himself. However the anger and power of Haruka is culled by his guardian, Danzo. Danzo is the second spirit within the Zanpakuto. He is a dragon that keeps himself wrapped around Haruka, ready to surpress anything that might come forth as to protect Tenzen's body from any major harm. Athough two completely diffrent beings, they work in complete harmony.Sealed Zanpakuto:
They are also the reason his Zanpakuto has the "Twin moon effect" which is explained later on below due to the fact it directly impacts the fighting power of this Zanpakuto and Tenzen himself. Now, to thoughs who know Tenzen they would proubly expect his inner world to be calm. But the truth is, it is split in two. On one end is a raging storm, thundering and lightning crackling away. On the other is the calm snow fall of a peaceful winter morning. This is due to the fact that, aside from how he is, Tenzen is in some kind of internal struggle. It could be a constant fight with Haruka, seeing as he causes bodly harm to Tenzen.
Haruka
Danzo
Tenzen's Zanpakuto isnt much in it's sealed state. It is simply a long, slender black cain with a golden casing around the end tip. Due to this, he isnt very offensive when outside of his shikai. He can fight with it similer to a staff and has trained up his hand to hand combat as to not be deffenseless. His naturaly fast speed and shunpos help him plenty here.Shikai Description:
Shikai name: Inabikari HebiShikai Abilities:
Shikai Release: Kaze wo atusmete Inabikari Hebi (Translaiton being "Gather wind lightning serpent")
Shikai apperance: When Tenzen releases his Shikai the cain he always has shortens and changes form into what looks like a M1911A1 pistol, atleast in general shape. The color of the gun is pure white with a snake like design, colored in blood red, snaking across either side of the barrle down to the back of the gun. This gun always starts in his right hand, the same hand he holds the cain with.
In his left hand however forms a beautiful grass blade, which is a blade straight as bamboo, hence the name. Unlike the gun, the sword is pure red in color except with the same snake like design going down the center of the blade in white. The sword is 40" over all, the blade of the sword is 26 1/4".
General abilites: To start off the powers are like the spirits, there are two and both are connected. The Zanpakuto has the power of Lightning and Wind. However as mentoned before the spirits of the sword are connected to the powers greatly. It is somthing that Tenzen nicknamed the "Twin moon effect". The gun embodies the power of wind and the sword the power of lightning. Haruka is lightning and Danzo wind.
When he first releases the imagenary "twin moons" are alligned perfectly. However every time he uses a attack they shift in power. For example, if Tenzen used his sword more, his electrical powers would grow stronger and stronger with each move. His wind power would be null effected but his body would be. As his lightning grows stronger and more deadly it starts to inflict injuries upon himself.
They start off as very minor burns and it takes awhile to build both in power and in self damage. So in short fights nothing would seem to change. However in extended fights the lightning would grow much, much stronger and vica versa the minor burns could turn to 1st degree burns and other lightning-asorted injuries. Of course with his sword he is also a close range fighter. To counter act this he must use his gun, danzo.
Everytime makes a attack with Danzo the Twin moons shift again and the lightning will weaken as will the damage being constantly inflicted to Tenzen. Once the lightning based powers are put back to normal only then would more use of Danzo make his wind power grow. The damage of his wind based attacks isent what grows though, it is there speed.
The negitive effects on Tenzen are a reflecton, just like before. While his wind attacks, which are all medium to long range grow much faster Tenzen himself who is normaly fast becomes much slower both in movment and in reaciton time. To go back to normal he must use his lightning based attacks. This is the twin moon effect of Tenzen's Zanpakuto. It can be a good weapon if used correctly, but if found out by the enemy it could be deadly.
They could try to pigon hole Tenzen into just one style of attack and force him to endure the negetive effects of the power. That said, the basic attacks are simple. His sword is electricly charged and can send powerful electrical shocks with each cut and the electrical charge on the sword makes it much sharper then a reguler Zanpakuto. His gun fires high pressered air, powerful enough to punch a hole through someone if they hit.
It should also be noted that to use some special attacks he must be shifted a ways into the twin moons. He not preform many special moves when the moons are perfectly alligned. In other words unless he is willing to lose somthing for some power he is stuck with just two main attacks, that is it.
Lightning torrent (must be shifted into the Lightning phase of the twin moon effect, taking minor burns at this point): Tenzen starts to spin his sword around at great speed while charging the air within the air rotaiton of the sword with lightning. Once charged enough he spins around as to gain momentum and swings the blade, sending out a dust-devil sized tornado of lightning. It does a good amount of damage to the area around it, but being hit directly by it is just about devistating.Bankai Description:
The attack isnt all that fast and due to the clunky movments needed to fire it off it can be read some what easly after seeing it once so dodging isent a problem. It's main use is to force someone to move or to try and get in a point blank shot if one is lucky. It is dodgeabul but not blockabul (not factoring in any powers enemy might have that would make this other wise.)
