-Appearance-

Physical Description:

Constantly growing and changing is what Raygin does. He is still quite a young Shinigami, so his appearance changes as his life style changes. He changes as he grows, as he becomes more mature. Raygins appearance changes as his life changes, making him something of a living mood ring! Just kidding. But seriously, Raygin is still growing. He is a young man after all, still in the prime of his youth! Recently, Raygins appearance changed once again but not in a way that makes him unrecognizable. This young man is growing up, and he is growing up fast.

Firstly, Rays hair. His hair is still as spiky as usual but the pattern in the spikes are a tad bit different now. His hair flows downwards, ending in jagged tips. He has a very prominent spike on the front of his face. Basically, it's still spiky but its not a bush like it was once before. Raygins hair is no longer raven black anymore, rather it has become a chestnut brown color that seems to shine gently in the light, while in the dark it looks more dark brown. Raygin likes his hair, he likes his new hair color. He takes care of his hair, taking regular showers and making sure it's clean.

Raygins face has lost the "baby fat" it had previously. He now has a much more sharper appearance, a far more attractive and confident face. His face is still capable of showing a mixed amount of emotions, and is still rather youthful as it always is. His eyes are now a light shade of gold and still show the fire of life they always have. Some of the Kawada servants say that Rays newly colored eyes represented a change in him, since they had used to be black and red. The servants think his new eyes mean something about him as changed, which is entirely possible! Raygins face is still able to adopt many emotions; happiness, silliness, sadness, respect, attraction, anger, rage, fear.

His skin has a light tan to it, no longer being just white. He's been spending a lot of time outside recently, so it makes sense that his skin has taken on a darken tone. Oh! Speaking of his skin! Remember those scars he used to have on his arm from training with Zeroshiki? Well, they're gone. He had them removed. Kaido is cool like that. Rays arms lack any sort of scars, in fact, the only scar he still has is the one inflicted to him by the Quincy; Caesar. The scar is located directly on his heart. He kept that particular scar as a painful memento of the day the Vandenreich invaded. If one touched Raygins skin, the feeling would best be described as a polished stone. Its hard, but it isn't rough.

Rays body is stronger now. He has much more muscle definition from the rigorous new training he does. His body isn't large, rather it is slim and designed for speed. His body perfectly hides the amount of power he possess now and can easily make someone believe he is either a runner or a fit Kido caster. Hell, he can pull of a suit quite easily if he wanted to. Raygin takes care of his body, he likes the feeling of "being fit". Being fit is good! Wait, lets not get off track. Probably one of Rays most unattractive features is his calluses. Rays got calluses on his knuckles. The servants like to joke that Raygins got warts on his knuckles and they refuse to believe him when he corrects them! They are NOT warts they are calluses! Ray punches things, his knuckles needed a way to defend themselves. He often wears hand straps during training, as it is proper protocol for boxing.

Rays got a variable wardrobe, but lets go over his Shinigami Shihakusho. Raygins has some edits done to his, to make him stand out a bit amongst the other thousand black robes of Soul Society. First thing that needs to be mentioned. Raygin does NOT wear a Hakama, despite it being dress code for him to wear one. He, honestly, hates them. He doesn't like the idea of running around in a big poofy skirt. So, Raygin decided to give himself something a little different. Raygin wears close fitting black pants. They are designed for full range of movement, being designed after human world jeans and sweat pants. Hell, Raygin still says they are just tight sweat pants but he ended up getting convinced they weren't. So, Raygin happily wears his pants over his Hakama. Sadly, sometimes he has no choice but to wear them.

Other than the hakamas, Rays got really not other issue with the rest of the Shinigamis wardrobe. Raygin wears a wear shitagi beneath his standard black kosode. His kosode has some edits done to it to make it more personalized. First, the complete lack of sleeves. Ray didn't like them, so he ended up trying to remove them himself. He ended up ripping them off...leaving torn piece around where the sleeves should have been. But hey! No sleeves! On the back of his kosode is the symbol of the Kawada, the golden pheonix. Raygin has finally taken to wearing his families crest, though he truly doesn't like the idea of advertising it around. The gold is catchy and all and yeah the design is nice, but to him it feels silly. Raygin wears the standard sandals and socks of the Shinigami, though sometimes he wears combat boots. Rays got a few extras he wears from time to time. Sometimes he wears arms bands, headbands, and a scarf from time to time though he sometimes just goes out without them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Personality-

Dislikes:

• Caesar - Out of all the members of the brainwashed Vandenreich, nobody strikes more fear and anger in this Shinigami heart than this old man. The source of Raygins past turmoils, the one who sent Raygin down the path of despair. No matter what it takes, or how long he waits, Raygin will make sure Caesar pays the price for everything he has done.
• Lying - Come on, he can deal with the truth of something. He's a trustworthy individual as well, there is literally no need to lie to him. Just be direct and tell him what's on your mind.
• Racism - There is no need to judge someone based on their race or skin color. Sure, a lot of Arrancar seem bad but there are good ones out there somewhere. Different face but same race, right?
• Getting Into Fights - "Can't we talk about this? Surely there are better ways to solve our grievances with one another besides senselessly beating each other up!"
• Confrontation - He'd rather not be the target of someones anger or an argument. Stepping into one to stop it is fine, but he hates being called out on something and have to listen to someone yell at him or lay into him.
• Hospitals - After how the stress of his surgery and the post-op recovery, Raygin would be fine if he never had to step into another hospital again.

Likes:

• Talking - Oh god he just doesn't know when to shut up. Raygin is a chatter mouth, running it as much as he can whenever he can. Sure, he knows to be quiet when he has to be but the second that "no talking" sign is removed that mouth is open again.
• Being Funny - Well, Raygin thinks he is hilarious. Comedy is in the eyes and ear of the beholder, so while one person might find him hilarious another might find him annoying. Though, at the end of the day he just wants to make people laugh.
• Company - An extrovert at heart, Raygin loves being around people. People means things he can talk to and make laugh
• Monster Hunter - Okay...so he used some of the Kawada Money to get himself one of those N3ds things the Humans have. The first game that caught his eye had this big freakin dragon on it getting beaten up by a bunch of dudes with HUGE FREAKIN WEAPONS. He had to have it. He loves it. Don't get him talking about it.
• Katrina Kawada - Raygin likes a lot of people, but this one deserves special mention. She's a special someone to him, someone he can't quite imagine life being normal without. Sure, she gets mad at him a lot, but Raygin enjoys her and her company. She's a true friend, someone he can count on.
• Exercising - When Raygin still had his heart injury he was incapable of working out like he could. In fact, even simply exercises could leave him on the ground and crying in pain. After his surgery was a success he was able to resume his daily regime, albeit having to start over from scratch.
• Snack Foods - Oh my word, junk food is like the best food in the world. Raygin loves himself some chips, candy, soda, noodles. He loves to eat junk. It's so good but so bad.

Flaws:

• Joker - Raygin is one of those guys who things he is the funniest thing in the world. He loves goofing off, cracking jokes, and talking. This leads to two different people in the world. Those who find him funny and those who find him annoying.
• Low Self Esteem - Raygin looks down on himself to a ludicrous degree. He is often apologizing for himself, telling others he isn't competent to do something, or simply agreeing with peoples insults against him. He always trys to hide it with a smile, but despite the goofy demeanor, Raygin has a miserable outlook when it comes to himself.
• Forgetful - It's something many people have noticed about the young man. He is an incredibly forgetful person, easily messing up the name of somebody he has just recently met.

Habits:

• Pulling Pranks - He enjoys a good laugh at someone elses expense. Raygin will often pull innocent pranks, like filling up somones socks with pudding. It's funny and doesn't hurt anyone! Except Ray when the person comes back to beat him up.
• Training - Ever since he was given the greenlight to begin his training again, Raygin has thrown himself right back into his work out schedules. Sure, he had to start all over but hey at least it isn't hiding in his room!
• Saying Aye - It's just a odd word he picked up. "Aye, how are you?"

Fears:

• Caesar - There is only one man in the world that can instill genuine terror into the Shinigami. Not even the Primera himself can, initially, cause Raygin true fear. But Caesar? Raygin has a reaction even at just the mention of the mans name.
• Losing Himself - It happened before. He had fallen to despair once before. He can never allow himself to be taken away by despair again. Raygin has to remain strong. He cannot lose himself again.
• Becoming the Head of the Kawada - He's noticed it. The disappearances of the Kawada. There aren't many of them left, and Rays worried he might be forced to become the head of the Kawada.

Goals:

• Defeat Caesar - Raygin will make him pay. He will make the man atone for his crimes against the world. Somehow, it will be him that brings Caesar to his knees. All Raygin wants. All Raygin wants is for Caesar to say he's sorry and truly mean it.
• Obtain Bankai - There was a time where Raygin once had a Zanpakuto so close to him that he was able to achieve Bankai. Raygin wants it again, to unlock the ultimate level of power for his current weapon.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Overall Personality:

Personality time, huh? Ah, this is gonna take awhile. Hah. Okay! First things first; Raygins got a varied personality. He is usually happy, goofy, and lovable. Other times he is more quiet, reserved, and mature. Sometimes he is sad, depressed, and moopy. He is a very shifting personality that is usually determined by outside forces. Is Raygin bi-polar? Not really, he just has a wide range of emotions. His personalty is varied, but it isn't so varied he is multiple people.

First off, Raygin is a nice person. Ray is known for being one of the more humane Shinigami, and yes there are some Shinigami which would give Hollows and Akki runs for their money. Raygins kindness is one of his most defining features as it is one of the first things somebody will remember about him. Raygin is the sort of guy that will help you no matter the situation, lend you a shoulder to cry on, listen to your problems and try to make you feel better. He has good standing with the Rukongai civilians, being one of them for a number of years. Raygin is known for being a kind soul, it's one of his most defining features without a doubt. In fact, Raygin shares this kindness to people that he should consider his enemies which is something that has gotten him looked down on a bit recently.

Ray considers himself to be a clown. He likes to make people smile, laugh, and just have a good time. He is a natural born entertainer, always trying to bring out the laughter in people. That being said, his attempts at humor typically just make him look like a huge idiot. He doesn't tell very good jokes either, but he always tries at that's what matters....right? Anyways, Ray isnt above making a fool of himself to get a laugh out of someone else. He believes that life is hard, and a smile a day is good for ones health. Something that ties into this is that Raygin can get....over excited. If something interesting is happening, he gets interested in something, or gets to involved he has a bad habit of flying off the handle. He loves to have fun and laugh, and loves it when others do the same.

However, being a goof isn't all there is to Raygin. He has been known to act very mature and responsible when he needs to be. He is not a clown 24/7 anymore, he knows when its an okay time to have fun. This is why some people think Ray is bipolar. They get used to seeing the goofy side of him that when they see the "normal" side of him they think it's someone else. It's honestly quite silly to tell you the truth. People are silly! Raygin is a kind, respectable young man who would happily give you the clothes on his back if you needed them. Raygin is polite, showing people respect and referring to people with the honorifics they deserve. He shows women respect more so than anyone but Captains. Raygin is very chivalrous as well, and has no problems holding doors and getting chairs for women.

Raygin is a determined young man. He holds a lot of value in hard work, and is willing to pus himself to the extreme in order to figure something out or better himself. This is a semi bad habit, pushing himself. Raygins determination also credits to his desires to protect people. He dislikes death, even going as far as to outright refuse to kill people, and does whatever he can to stop untimely deaths. Its a shame he doesn't have a medical based Zanpakuto. Raygin will, without doubt, sacrifice himself in order to keep someone close to him from being killed. He is a hard worker, thats all that needs to be said.

However, Raygin does have his flaws. One of these flaws is his desire to not cause death. It's something that has marked him as a "weak warrior". In fact, it took Raygin twice as long to kill a Hollow than other students in his academy days (two hours of running around / dodging the hollow and not hitting it). He tried to convince the Hollow to stop being evil. Well, he finally managed to kill the Hollow because his teacher assured him that upon death a Hollows soul is purified and reborn in Soul Society as a Pluse, and that everything it had eaten would be purified as well. Still, Raygin doesn't like it. He doesn't like killing and goes out of his way to keep from killing someone. He had his life stolen from him at a young age and he cannot stand the idea of stealing someone else's life.

When it comes to fighting, Rays got some conflicted views on it. First off, he hates getting into fights and the idea of fighting. He's a peaceful person and would rather settle something through discussion or bartering. However, if Raygin gets into a fight he very easily falls into the typical Fighter mentality of loving it. In battle, Ray loves the rush of combat but he dislikes getting into fights. Silly, huh? He doesn't really like getting hurt either. He doesn't like getting into arguments either, being the kind of person who might do what someone says just to not start a fight.

Now, around women...Raygins not the brightest individual. Yes, Raygin treats a woman with respect. Yes, he knows the birds and bees. But something thats typically a issue with Ray is he is dense. When a woman tries to flirt with Raygin its like flirting with a rock, it just doesn't get through. It takes very persistent flirting to get to Raygin. This, however, does not mean Raygin is ignorant to love. But he is without a doubt heterosexual. Raygin is a romantic person, heavily believing in true love. He is not one who does casual sleeping around, rather he prefers to share the bed with a woman he loves. Yes, he slept around once and it was a three way but in his defense he was drunk! And zombies appeared afterwards! Alright! To sum it up; Rays the kind of guy that treasures and cherishes a woman he has fallen in love with! He's a loyal partner, never going behind his womans back or betraying her if he can. Moving on.

Racism? Ray, a racist? Hah! What a silly thought. No. Unlike most Shinigami who dislike another race by simply...being that race is not something Ray follows. So what if you're an Arrancar, Bount, Human, or Quincy? Who cares about that? It's the person you hate, not their race. Raygin doesn't care what race you are, because one person does not make up an entire race. Rays met Humans, Arrancar and other races that could arguably be good. However, there is one race Raygin will never believe can be "good". The Akki. Raygin believes the Akki are truly evil. The Vandenreich, on the other hand, holds mixed feelings for him. He believes they are brainwashed and need to be saved.

Raygin usually has his anger bottled up inside him, never letting it out. However, when Rays anger comes out it's typically explosive. Angry Ray will lash out at whatever has pissed him off to this point. Usually, his anger only comes out under a very few specific circumstances. Harming his friends, betraying him, trying to kill him, being evil, making him wear hakamas are just a few of the things that can make him angry. Rays anger can be either passive aggressive, or full on aggressive. Full on aggressive? Ray will be happy to punch you until he feels he needs to stop. Passive aggressive? Eh, he just wont like you and wont respect you.

A flaw Raygin has is that it is hard for him to let things go. A good example of this was his friend Hibiki, who Raygin saw as an idol and a rival. Raygin wanted to impress Hibiki and be seen as a equal and despite his death Raygin is still trying to do this and not moving on. Another issue Ray has is he that he lacks a solid resolve. His reason for fighting is shaky and is constantly shaking. He lacks a steady resolve for why he fights, and without one it hinders him in combat. Ray can also have random days of being depressed. He bottles up a lot of his negative feelings, and sometimes they slip out.

Rays a glutton. He has a appetite very similar to Son Gokus from the series, Dragon Ball Z, in that he is willing to eat anything and has a near bottomless stomach. Raygin has a wicked fast metabolism, letting him eat an entire meal then be ready to eat again in an hour. He loves meats, spicy things, sweet things, salty things. Raygin loves unhealthy foods, it being a seriously guilty pleasure of his to eat high calorie or carby stuff. Raygin isnt required to eat a impossible amount of food, but given the chances he is more than able to. This is why it's usually required at dinners or social gatherings that the amount of food Raygin eats is watched carefully, least he eat the all the servings.

-Powers-

Fighting Style:

Raygins been one interesting character to watch. He's bounced between various fighting styles over the years, trying to find the one that's best for him. After the destruction of Zeroshiki and having to begin again after his injury had been healed, Raygin sat down and tried to figure out what was right for him. Fighting with his fists had simply not felt quite right, finding it rather uncomfortable to have to get so close to his enemy and punch them. So, Raygin decided to take up the sword again. Originally it was meant to be nothing more than an excersize, but wielding the katana felt natural. It felt right. So, Raygin began to practice the sword once again.

Raygin is an honest individual, so he will without a doubt inform someone that he is, in fact, not the greatest person when it comes to fighting. He's hesitant to hurt people, being far too kind at heart. He will also tell himself, and others, he isn't the best at using the sword. These are mental handicaps he has placed on himself during his time of training back up, making him perform worse and with less skill than he actually has. One thing that sets Raygin apart from others equal to his level of power is that he has experience.

Raygin was already a Shinigami, having to start over after spending so much time in the hospital during recovery. He already has knowledge on Kido, on Hakuda, on Arrancar, Quincy, Zanpakuto. As such, Raygin can go into battles knowing a thing or two before the battle has even started. He's an analytical little thing, studying and observing his opponents during battle. He has an amazing eye for detail, being able to understand and learn about his opponents personality and abilities during a fight. He's an empathetic kind of guy, being able to figure out his opponent quicker than their abilities. This might be because of his gentle personality and heart, and his willingness to accept friendship despite racial differences. Except with Casesar, that guy can go climb a wall of dicks.

But, back onto his actual swordplay. Raygin is neither the strongest nor the fastest individual, so during his fighting he prefers to play more on the defensive. His eye for detail allows him better timing and countering skills. He would rather his opponent come to him than the other way around, tiring themselves out as they fight a primarily defensive set of moves. As he isn't a very fast Shinigami he relies mostly upon blocking based forms rather than dodging.

As someone with developed reiatsu skills, Raygin supplements his fighting style with an array of Kido. Though a fan of Bakkudos, as they offer a wider range of annoyances and effects, he also uses Hado in order to pester his opponent from afar. Raygins use of Kido, though, isn't necessarily his main method of combat, as he is uses preferably to support his actual main method of combat, his release. Kazeshiara is one of the few actually ranged weapon Zanpakuto in the Seireitei. When thrown, its power is tremendous but at the same time it leaves Raygin vulnerable. This is why he uses Kido, in order to supplement and support Zeroshiki hitting its target.

Zanpakutou Spirit Appearance:

"The Unyielding Spirit"

Once upon a time, the spirit known as Zeroshiki appeared no different from a pale wolf, outside of a few minor accessories. But now the evolved Spirit, Kazeshiara, has a good collection of differences between itself and it's old form. While they still share the body of a wolf, one of the biggest differences between the two is the set of wings that grow out from the back of Kazeshiaras forelegs. While he still possesses the tribal feather eardress that he wore in his old form, there is now also a marking atop of his head. Along with this, Kazeshiara wears a pair of shoulder pads, with two wrappings dropping down from both of these pads.

Inner World(Optional):

"The Endless Crevice"

Zanpakutou Appearances:

In it's most basic form, the sealed state, Raygins Zanpakuto is unique among other Zanpakutos owned by Shinigami. Most of the spiritual warriors possess some form of katana, whether they be wakishazis or iatos. Raygin, on the other hand, carries a falchion at his side. It's an odd weapon, for sure, because of the style and shape it carries. Katanas are sleek and slender, looking to be weapons perfect for battle. The falchion, on the other hand, is odd in that it looks like a large skinning knife. A silver steeled blade with a slightly u-shapped guard, a blue leather wrapped handle and a rounded circular pummel. It's nothing fancy, in fact it's a rather bland sword to look at. But it fits Raygin, himself not wanting some sort of flashy or showy weapon.

Now then, let's talk about the release. Out of all the Zanpakuto in the Seireitei, Raygins is one of the most unique. There are not many Shinigami that use ranged weapons, and out of those that do find Raygins to be a tad bit peculiar. While the official description of Kazeshiara is that it's a boomerang, that is merely how it functions. The weapon strongly resembles a large shuriken, with three curved wings that end in broadened tips. On each of the three rings is a single hook closer to the center, these hooks function as the weapons grips for its use. Green in color, with the designs on the wings being a yellow color, and finally a gold colored center ring, Kazeshiara is a interesting Zanpakuto to look at it. When released, Raygins unreleased Zanpakuto will glow white, followed by the weapon being released from his grip and hovering. It will then begin to spin at an incredible rate, picking up a powerful gust of air around it before metamorphosing into the boomerang.

Zanapkutou Release Names

Shikai: Rip through the skies, Kazeshiara!



Overall Ability:

When it comes down to it, this is a release that functions rather similarly to the original Zanpakuto that Raygin possessed, Zeroshiki. The nature of the spirit is one of a lone wolf, and this is reflected in the Zanpakutos design. It is not one that relies completely on its wielder, only needing him fleetingly. The idea behind this Zanpakuto is the use of reiatsu as a fuel source, and that source becoming power. The Zanpakuto only needs Raygin to begin its attacks, using its wielder as support for it. It's a weapon designed around controlling the battle field, and punishing those that fail to pay attention.

Shikai Overall Ability:

Kazeshiara is a weapon that functions rather similarly to the weapon that Raygin possessed before it. Like its predecessor, Kazeshiara is a ranged weapon, meant to be thrown rather than used in melee and is best defined as an "independent" weapon. Kazeshiara is a weapon that possesses its own sets of stats, separate from Raygins. This is it's strength. Being separate from Raygins allows it to have its own set of power. But how does this work? It's rather simple, actually. When the weapon is still in Raygins hands, the Shinigami inserts his own reiatsu into it. Raygin can only put in 200 reiatsu at first, though this limit increases each time Raygin throws his Zanpakuto and catches it, and ends with a maximum of 1000 reiatsu. When caught, the reiatsu is returned to Raygin. The reiatsu that Raygin inserts into his weapon, at first, becomes the weapons durability. This means that regardless of Raygins own Spiritual Pressure stat, Zeroshiki is stuck having a durability of how much reiatsu is currently inside it. Because Kazeshiara is so filled with reiatsu, it's very difficult to hide.

But this can't be all there is, right? When Raygin throws his Zanpakuto, that reiatsu becomes the weapons Offensive Stat, Impact Strength. Kazeshiara is actually dull, not being able to easily cut anything as a matter of fact. The Impact Strength of this Zanpakuto, as well as its durability, when thrown is actually tripled. So, if Kazeshiara has 200 reiatsu inside of it, once thrown it has a Impact Strength of 600, as well as a durability of 600. This was what made Zeroshiki such a powerful Zanpakuto, and it's predecessor has the same capabilities as it before. Unlike Zeroshiki, though, Kazeshiara does not increase its flying Speed as it travels. It's initial speed is based off Raygins throwing Strength, though it can be increased through outside means.

Kazeshiara behaves with some odd physics. Regardless of the Strength Raygin uses to throw his weapon, so long as it equals 50 or above, Kazeshiara will spin at a incredible rate. As stated before, Kazeshiara is not really sharp. It's high rate of rotation, and the power behind it, enable it to literally rip and tear through whatever is weaker than it. Depending on the durability of something hit it could either be; bashed around, torn through, dented in, or blown apart.

Now, how does Raygin control this weapon? Constant practice has allowed Raygin to predict his weapons flight paths and return times perfectly, but that only helps a little in a battle. Part of the problem is that Kazeshiara is a far traveler, meaning if Raygin were to miss his opponent then the weapon would keep going for some distance before returning. To rectify this, Raygin has slight telekinetic control over his weapons pathing. He can't make the weapon simply stop or turn on a dime, but he's capable of veering it where he wants it to go and even make it slow down if needed. It must be noted that when Raygin catches the weapon, all of the force behind it is canceled, and the reiatsu contained in the weapon is returned to Raygin.

Zanpakuto Techniques:

Shikai

▶Kazekyori - The first of Kazeshiaras techniques, a remnant of the old Nagaikiba technique. Back in the times of the old Zanpakuto, Nagaikiba converted the weapons power into Reiatsu Strength and at the same time extending its range. This, however, is only part the case. Kazekyori extends the range of the wings by releasing the power within it and outwards, forming "blades" of wind. These "blades" function just like the actual wings of the weapon, dealing the same kind of damage to the target that the Zanpakuto itself does. The range of these blades are dependant on the weapons power, growing five meters out for every 100 Impact Strength Kazeshiara currently possess. This technique costs 100 reiatsu to use, and drains the weapon of 100 points of its Impact Strength.

▶Oitsumemasu - One of the greatest problems of Kazeshiara is, as a single object, it becomes rather easy for someone to dodge. In an era where Step Techniques are ever present, Kazeshiara needed some way to combat them. So, this is the solution. Raygin locks his weapon onto the reiatsu signature of his target. So long as he has Energy Sensing above 50, and is able to get a clear detection of his opponents reiatsu, he is able to use this technique. Kazeshiara will follow the target until Raygin cancels the technique. Costs 100 reiatsu a post.

▶Daimutan - Best described as a quick turn technique, or Kazeshiaras imitation of a Shinigami Step Technique. This technique is actually very simple. One of the problems with the base weapon is the distance it flies and its turning speed. Even under Raygins mental control, Raygin can't make it turn very sharply, but this technique is the answer to it. When used, Kazeshiara will begin moving, instantly, in any direction Raygin wants. That's not all though, this technique instantly boosts Kazeshiaras flying speed by 3x it's normal amount. This can only be used once a throw, costs 100 reiatsu to use, and reduces Kazeshiaras current power by 200 points.

{Shunpo | Mastered}
Technique Name: [Shunpo (Flash Steps)]

Class: 7

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. The focal point that determines the bases of this technique is speed. As speed is the main point of the technique the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps. Training and skill are what determines how fast a user of Shunpo can move; those of little skill in the technique or those who haven't used it an extended amount of time would obviously be out of practice, causing those individuals to be considerably slower, which requires the use of more steps to move the same distance and become winded far easier in a shorter amount of time. A single step magnifies speed for that step by 10 times. Uses 50 Reiatsu per step. This one is automatically learned in the academy. ALL shinigami know this when created. This technique does not take up a technique slot.

How to use technique:

A focus of reishi around the feet area, and then launching off into a single step which blurs, not unlike teleportation in appearance, except it is simply extremely fast movement. Often used to gain an edge in a single moment of combat, or to dodge incoming attacks.

History:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click here}

All through out his life Raygin felt like he was meant for something more. He was adopted at the age of three. His birth parents had up and left him at an orphanage in Karakura Town. Ray was already named and everything. Either way, Raygins adoptive parents loved him as one of their own. Raygin was told he was an energetic kid. Also playing with stuff and breaking stuff and always smiling. He was just a happy baby.

Throughout his life Raygin grew up to be a normal human. He had friends, a girlfriend, a hobby, and a job. He was living life to it's fullest and he couldn't be happier. Sure, Raygin was a bust boy and a cash register but he made enough money to get by. His high school life was hectic, but thats how it always is. Raygin did his best to make good grades so he could get into a good college. He wanted to work with animals and was planning on being a veterinarian. But all that was cut short that night. That night he went into that house and his life was ended.

When Raygin woke up he was still in that house. When he tried to get up he had found a chain attached to his chest and to his body. When Raygin saw his body he freaked. He tried to put himself back into his body. Raygin spent several hours in that house, freaking out. He realized he was dead and couldn't accept it. Several hours passed again and Raygin had calmed down. He was leaning against the wall, thinking, when some sort of monster came into the house. The monster had a white mask and a hole in its chest. The creature looked at him and attacked him, breaking the chain. The young man managed to escape the monster and ran into the town.

For the next couple of days Raygin was being followed by the monster. One day it managed to pin him in a dead end and attacked. When it attacked something awakened in Raygin and a sword formed out of some sort of energy that came from his inner self. Using that sword Raygin slayed the beast. He, once again, passed out from this. When he came too he started to walk. He found his way to the cemetery and got to watch his own funeral which ended up doing some inner damage to himself.

After that Raygin was found by some people wearing robes just like him. They told him they were Shingami and they had come to take him to some place called the Soul Society. Raygin disagreed at first but eventually submitted to go with them. Since then he has been there, training to get stronger.

When he was put into the Academy it was quite different than anything he expected. In normal school you learn about math, science, and english. But in this Shinigami Academy you learn about swords, magic, and giant monsters called Hollows. Raygin was interested in the Hollows ever since he learned about them. He was shocked to find out they were once human spirits that remained in the Human world for too long. That took him by surprise. Raygin felt guilty when he found out he killed a spirit, but then learned that when a Hollow is killed it is purified and sent to the Soul Society.

Raygin found that sword play, zenjutsu, turned out to be a lot of fun. He was allowed to use the same sword he had when that first Hollow attacked him. That was also because that sword, even if it was taken away, was always with Raygin. He wasn't anything special, but with hard work he made it through the classes, though he did get his ass kicked quite a bit.

One night after training Raygin had a dream, as a cliche as it is. When he fell asleep he woke up in what looked like the Grand Canyon. Raygin, acting like a dumbass, actually jumped off the canyon thinking it was a dream. When he realized during the fall this was real he was saved by a wolf who grabed him out of the air. The wolf berated him, calling him stupid and foolish for doing such a thing. Raygin and the wolf traded insults before asking what this place was. The animal explained it was his Inner World and that this was it's home. When Raygin asked who the wolf was a violent wind picked up. But Raygin caught it's name.

So, where do we begin? The story of this young Shinigami is an extensive one, spanning over the numerous years of his service. However, for the sake of clarity, only the important bits will be covered. Raygins Shinigami career began in Squad 3, the Expedition Squad and the one known for its high casualty count. Regardless of its ominous reputation, the young Shinigami felt it fit him more. Months of service in the Squad finally allowed him to opportunity to meet one individual who would forever change his life; Hibiki Ito.

At first they met to spar, a challenge whose sender was long since forgotten. Despite the other Shinigamis Support type release, Raygins Zanpakuto, Zeroshiki, could not keep up with the others magical blankets. After a short battle, Raygin found himself on the defeated side. But, regardless of this defeat something was formed between the two. A friendship was sparked. Sure enough, Raygin and Hibiki began spending more and more time with one another, practicing and sparing against each other on a weekly basis. Hibiki was always ahead of Raygin, but the younger didn't mind. Becoming powerful was never his goal, rather it was finding something in the afterlife to give him happiness and entertainment. Luckily, he found that thing in Hibiki.

Slowly their friendship grew and they had begun to see each other outside of their weekly practices, hanging out and growing ever closer. Their bond was put to the test when they went against one of the Goteis greatest fighters; Kaen Youji. The battle was long and hard, with Raygin only able to last due to Hibikis healing abilities. Ray was able to make some decent pushes against Kaen, notably destroying his Bankai summoned fire dragon with his own Shikai. Though they lost, Raygin knew he had improved that day, believing that the path between him and Hibiki had shortened considerably.

That belief was only hardened after the fact that Raygin had defeated Hokori Kuchiki, a Captain at the time, in a single move, as well as driving away the Septima Espada Myzaraphiston. Things had begun to look up for the boy, he was being given respect and even the position of the Vice Captain of Squad 3. His own Zanpakuto, Zeroshiki, began to teach him the deeper secrets and inter workings of the boomerang Zanpakuto. Unknown to Raygin, though, he was being watched.

One day during training the youth was approached by, the now lost, Captain Shade. Head of Squad 13 and Kawada Household, the man gave Raygin an offer. Join the Kawada family or, Raygin didn't know this at the time, die. Raygin accepted, finding such an offer interesting and wanting to further progress to keep up with Hibiki, who had been accepted into the Kuchiki household. Life as a Kawada was...different.

It was no secret that Raygin was an obnoxious extrovert. His personality conflicted with the often stoic and hard asses Kawadas, prompting the heir to the title of Head, Katrina Kuchiki, to develop interesting emotions towards him. One part hatred, another part infatuation, she was conflicted on how to deal with the new adoptee. So Raygin remained with the Kawada for some time, with no real mention of any interesting happenings, things seemed peaceful . But then it happened.

Raygin received the news one morning, a day with rain in its forecast. The revelation that Hibiki, his best friend, had died on duty in the Suicide Forest did not sit well with the young man. So began Raygins slow descent into despair, something that would consume him for nearly two years. Because, soon after the departure of his friend, the Vandenreich attacked. The devastation caused by the Quincy army was unheard of, curb stomping the Shinigami like they were nothing.

Raygin had, however, managed to land himself in a new level of trouble. He had managed to anger the one called Caesar, a man who would make Raygins life a living hell. To even call it a fight would be a lie. Raygin was destroyed. His Zanpakuto was obliterated, the spirit killed, before his very eyes, shortly before being crucified upon the ice formed cross. The pain of that day would forever haunt him, as well as the injury he suffered.

Caesars crucification had damaged Raygins heart, physically. The boy could no longer serve as a Shinigami, as any real exertion on his part would bring with it waves of pain and the threat of his heart splitting open. So he was expelled, retired from Shinigami service and forced to remain in the Kawada Household for his own safety. But to him it was a prison. Raygin was looked down on by the others, seen as a disgrace to the Kawada name for his weakness. He was left all alone, left to rot in his depression and despair. The thought of suicide had come and gone numerous times, but Raygin was too afraid to take his own life.

So he was left alone, left to rot in silence and disgrace. He rarely went out, rarely interacted with anyone. Even Katrina was pushed away by him, someone he considered a friend. Even when he attended a party being held by the Royal families he was distant, only talking shortly with people before being embarrassed by Katrina's drunken antics and attacks.

Suicide really did seem like a good choice at this point. But, a few days before he was planning to go through with it, something happened. A new Captain in Squad 4, one to replace the now lost Amaya something. A woman named Rose. He received a message from her, saying that she had a procedure that could help Raygin. It was extensive, and he would be forced to recuperate for several months afterwards, but after two years of depression and agony, Raygin obliged without a second thought.

And now here we are.
