Physical Description:
Shizu maintains something of a Ruffled Beauty about her. Her very demeanor and manner of presentation is something to be regarded with scrutiny and yet she is quite frankly gorgeous. That Such a thing would be so unkempt, and even in disarray hold such allure seems improbable. Even so, there is indeed something about her that snares the eye now and then, a mannerism hidden beneath that untidy visage that utterly wipes away any semblance of youthfulness and instead enters the realm of a startling nature.
Her often-messy and unkempt hair is almost always scraggled and messily draped about her shoulders, a wildness about it that almost seems to reach out for you, grabbing you by your eye sockets and dragging you into it's tangles. The hair itself is full and has a decent weight to it, hardly light or frail in any way, this gorgeous head of hair has survived better off at times than her skin has. While at most points her hair has a gorgeous and full golden color, there is a time when this changes. Whenever her hair is bathed in moonlight, it turns completely pale and ivory in color. It's luminescence increases considerably and it seems almost to glow in the night, this is especially prevalent in hueco mundo such that during her time as an arrancar she actually was under the impression that her hair was fucking white.
Her eyes are hardly an emerald green, but have something instead akin to a young tea leaf. A light, crystal-clear green that is, at a glance, soft and simply pretty, but upon closer inspection, the color actually has a higher saturation deeper into her eye, making them incredibly piercing and almost hypnotic. Those with much sharper senses actually have a very hard time looking away from her eyes as within the fibers of her eye are actually very fine brilliant streaks of yellow which lighten and add the vibrancy to them that is offset by the slightly darker shade of green-blue that most of her eye actually is. It is the interaction of these colors that, weirdly, create this brilliant green. The moment one notices this fact, the color will seem to change constantly if they have particularly sharp vision and is often incredibly distracting.
Good lord you're still looking at her? It only gets more ridiculous at this point. With gorgeous hair and those catching eyes? You're a real sucker huh? Well anywho, her face itself is actually not as exemplary. She is admittedly pretty, but hardly stunning if the eyes and hair are taken out of the equation. It's unbelievable how unattractive something becomes with empty eye sockets and a bald head, right? In any case her features are somewhat strong, a firm jaw and only slight feminine curve to her facial features such that in times where she cut her hair exceptionally short (and when she wore incredibly baggy tops) she was oft confused for a male, until her chest was noticed.
Speaking of which, the woman is built like a mix between a gymnast and a boxer. She has strikingly toned upper arms and actually is quite limber. Her shoulders are slightly on the broad side, adding to her androgynousness under the right circumstances. Her torso, were it not for her large bust size (A whopping 37D), she would hardly be seen as very feminine. Beneath a very thin layer of fat that conceals much of her tone, there is a wealth of muscle that, when her body is tensed, makes a very starrk contrast to her usual supple self. A very fine balance between junk food and intense workout has given her this very....modular physique. When she is not flexing or exerting herself she looks, largely, curvaceous. With litter-bearing hips and her considerable chest, the rest of her body is... a tad on the thick side, but is hardly anything someone would fault her for. She looks very motherly due to this as her proportions subconsciously remind one of a woman who has had a few kids.
This however changes drastically whenever she flexes, exerts herself, or is anxious to the point where her muscles tense. A six pack of abs, well-defined biceps, and legs that could scissor a tree in half seem to simply push out against her skin, and quite frankly were it not for that layer of fat and her bone structure it might actually look a little gross. In the past it was actually quite worse, however thanks to her time as a human (second time) she was able to lose most of it.
Perhaps one of the more alarming aspects of her physique is her more abnormal aspects. Since being attacked by a hollow and being passed on toward the world of the dead, the hollow reiatsu exposure awoke her more.....ancient aspects of her body, and as such she has regrown one of her old tails. The tail itself is long, scaly, and whip-like, with a tuft of blond hair growing from the tip, similar in kind to an eastern-style dragon, measuring at about four inches in thickness at the base before tapering to pointed tips, each tail being about a meter in length, the tips of these tails are actually flattened to a bladed, spear-like tip which is hidden by the tufts of blond hair, each tip is about four inches long. As she grows in strength and continues to encounter hollows, the number of tails will grow. At class 7 the number of tails increases to two, at six increasing to three. At class 5, the number of tails begins to grow even faster, resulting in five of them. At class 4 she will have Seven of them. This however is the extent of her tails, as her eight tail was severed in the making of one of her swords.
Typically speaking, these tails remain largely out of sight, using the baggy folds of her hakama in order to keep them hidden and wrapped about her waist, thighs, or simply hanging loosely.

-Personality-
Dislikes:
ShinigamiShocking isn't it? Turns out three thousand pls years of having to fight them really is a pain in the pussy. That being said since her humanization and the subsequent shift to a soul in the Sereitei, it's become.....something she can much better handle. Over the many many years she understood why the shinigami do what they do, and as such she does have respect for them. But....generally.....she is unfond of how arrogant they really are...
Dying As it turns out it was not a very pleasant process. As a Human she was displeased with just how weak she'd become, but even worse was her death. All but torn apart by hollows, and only barely kept from being consumed. Her soul was...thankfully restored, but the process really fucked her up.
Hollows Kinda weird seeing as she used to be one. But well.....the whole being eaten alive thing put something of a damper on the situation. She is however....conflicted in these feelings. She knows hollows incredibly well, and even though she is....averse to them, she is also very sorry for them, to the point that she gets very upset when she sees them. She has, over time, learned to hide this, but inside her heart aches for these beings. Even worse, the worry that one of her daughters may very well have almost become one... its not a good thought.
Kozello Granze The motherfucker who called himself an espada about two thousand years ago. A vicious and callous Arrancar if she had ever met one, this individual was solely responsible for the fall of Aria Dread. No matter how long-gone this piece of utter trash is, and no matter the fact that she murdered and ate him, she will never forget the hatred she holds for this filth.
Espada During her time in her....previous lives. The Arrancar who called themselves Espada proved themselves to be lower and lower filth than any other arranar she had the displeasure of meeting. Although there were some VERY stark exceptions, for the most part the Espada have proven to her that Arrancar who gain excessive power largely turn out to be boring, uninteresting assholes.
Yoga Pants There was....an Incident. In which he who shall not be named, decided to cut little holes in them. Given how...airy the pants usually are, Shizuyoko did not...notice immediately.
Ricky Spanish He is perhaps one of the more annoying individuals that she's yet met amongst the other academy students, and he often goes way too far with his pranks. However what is most infuriating is how charming he is when he ISN'T causing havoc.
Killing Humans Something she used to do pretty often, and....for many many centuries, something she didn't put much thought into. They were just so....annoying, in the way. And then she became one. And well....she learned how utterly powerless a person could really be. Especially when she had children. No longer being a hollow, there's little chance of her ever having to be in a position where she would kill one, but if she were then it would be very emotionally damaging.
Italy Her final place of human habitation, there are some very...unpleasant memories associated with this place, and as such she does make it a point to try and not go near the place. During their wilder days, she and Itakhe had something of a foray into the place, taking their eldest daughter there and having some....interesting close-calls there. Their daughter seemed to love Italy, but well....she doesn't.
The Sky There's something very depressing about the fact that she cannot really appreciate a clear, blue sky. She knows it's beautiful, even to her she loves the way it looks, but she knows that without that color blue, she wouldn't be able to fully appreciate it. Sometimes this deficit causes her to stare at the sky for hours on end, wondering what it is that she's missing.
Vannan, The Defiled- Stories about Vannan, the Vandereich Liuetenant known for his depraved ways. As of late, tales of his disgusting behaviors have faded, but the legends still have persisted. "You better be good or Vannan will get you.' The very fact that such a boogeyman exists, she detests the idea of him.
Being Called a Vizard or Arrancar- The Stench of four thousand years of being a hollow is not something that simply becoming a shinigami has just...washed away. She reeks of hollow and shinigami, and to anyone attempting to sense her reiatsu, they will often immediately register her as a vizard or an arrancar. This was SO problematic during her time in the Rukon that she began training herselt to completely hide her spiritual pressure in order to avoid the issues that come up with it. Thankfully, unusual anatomy is not something particularly uncommon among shinigami, so she doesn't draw as much attention as she would in the world of the living.
Likes:
Her Family Even though she left them behind in the world of the living, she hopes to watch over them as a shinigami. Particularly her daughters, whom she was unable to watch grow up. She is unaware of the fact that she has grandchildren, but even so has the intention of finding them again at some point.
The Color Red - For some reason this color just...draws her in. Everything about it makes her feel good, and she often has a habit of surrounding herself with the color when possible. Wether in battle, when training, or in her quarters, the color never ceases to please her. This is especially true with clothing, finding them very attractive. When she first met her Fiance in the world of the living, he proposed to her wearing a deep scarlet blazer.
Apples -Connected not only with her like of the color red, but theyre very crunchy (The kind she likes at least) and this is very pleasant for her. She can often be found munching on one in her free time, or bringing them as snacks to training. She tends to like Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples, the larger, crunnhy kind. The softer-skinned apples are....ok, but don't quite draw her as much. She also prefers red ones.
Itakhe Sanmizu - Her significant other from the world of the living. Technically speaking they were not officially married, but were engaged when they were killed. She does not know her fiance's fate, but she fears that he was likely made into a hollow. She has no confirmation as to this, but she simply has a hunch. When he WAS alive he was a constant source of love and support, always able to make her laugh and often causing her tremendous grief with his habit of making inappropriate jokes (Which throughout their engagement she secretly loved). Strangely, he wasn't always so....fond of her.
Loose-fitting Clothes - Pretty as she is, she isn't overly fond of being overly expressive and showy with her attire, much preferring more....free and loose clothing what she can run around in. Go figure it's one of the reasons she likes the Shihakusho so much that shinigami wear, even if she isn't the fondest of them.
Sunrises and Sunsets - The one time when she can truly appreciate the sky. As orange and yellow streak the skies, and as it sinks or rises just at the horizon the sky turns that gorgeous shade of red, painting scarlet blush along the ceiling, wiping the barrier between stars and grey sky. During her time as a soul, she was very pleased to find out that soul society had them.
The Hollow Moon - Back ages ago when she was an arrancar, she would look at the moon constantly. It was strange, but she always felt comforted by it's presence and did all she could in order to remain above ground when she could. She always wondered were it had come from, and once tried to reach it, though to no avail.
Flirting - Both giving and receiving, she was still very young when she met Itache, and over the years while she still hopes to find him, she has conceded to the fact that they likely won't find eachother again. That being said, she very much enjoys being flirted with, even outrageously. Naturally she doesn't honestly plan on taking a partner, but even so she enjoys the attention and the little games that go along with the activity.
Boys - She's a girl, she can't really help it. You know when a boy lumbers up to you, with his big dumb face, and his big dumb smile, and his big dumb dick on the brain? And he bores tou for forty minutes before finally saying something that perks you up? As it turns out, all men aren't really like that. Most of them certainly, and I'm certainly not saying that boys are stupid. They are, that's just not my point. But rather, there are those men who are witty, who are smooth, and will make you melt you faster than water on a witch.
Soccer - She doesn't like the game itself, but there is one....very special, very particular memory she has from a soccer game in particular, two years before she met her fiance, under the bleachers there was one little....foray that personified the wildness of her "youth" something she was surprised to find she had as a human after several thousand years. Four millenia being an cold-fish of an arrancar doesn't really prepare you for teenage horomones.
Flaws:
Tritanomoly Type of Color Blindness in which the individual has reduced sensitivity to the color blue. While Shizu's instance of it is not incredibly severe, she cannot see any of the pure-blue colors and often see distorted colors that have shades of blue in the mix. PArticularly difficult is the fact that her abilities are countered by a color she cannot distinguish from monochromatic shades, which can cause her some surprise issues.
"This isn't Blue" - Typically responded with something along the lines of "Go fuck yourself". When asked to get something, and told that it is blue, she will often try to get past it. sually it is not an issue unless there are several things with shades of blue, or if there are also grey objects. This upsets her GREATLY. Not only will it completely shift her mood, but she can, if under enough pressure, become violent if the person is someone she considers an enemy.
Airhead Blonde - She is a bit ashamed of it, but she can be a bit spacey if she isn't particularly interested in what is being said to her. She goes to GREAT lengths to try to compensate and is actually quite intelligent as a result, however she will still consistently nod off when someone is talking to her about something she isn't particularly invested in. If the person talking is wearing blue this is particularly prevalent. This is particularly notable because of how very goddamn pretty she is, which lowers many expectations and leads to her mentors somewhat underestimating her, and not in a good way.
New Age Nerd - During her time in the world of the living, she actually came to have something of a fascination with certain activities as a human, memories of which she still holds very well as a shinigami. As such she will, from time to time.....shirk duties in order to divulge in these tendencies. What they are? Well you'd have to go on and find out now wouldn't you?
A Great and Terrible Monster - It's no secret that the Dragon Orochi is not a name flopped about on whimsy. As such she tends to.....not go around bragging about that sort of thing. Thanks to Soul Society's rather limited information on her (likely mainly due to disinterest or disbelief in such an old story), nobody in the gotei is privy to her situation. Something she hopes to keep a secret, but may bite her in her perky little ass down the road.
Turns out Death has Consequences - As it were, she is hardly the powerful being she once was, and at times, now and then, she....sort of forgets this fact, and occasionally gets herself into situations she might not be able to handle as well as she might think. Quite often she has eyes bigger than her stomach, volunteering for the more hazardous patrols and assignments.
Habits:
Flirting - Her time in the world of the living did wonders for her sociability. And finding out just how little people question a pretty face has only encouraged this behavior. Normal humans flirt, so she does it fairly often, as a measure of ensuring that suspicion is not roused as to her humanity. A bit ironic at times, but even so it's something that has become almost like breathing for her. Thankfully she doesn't do it to the point of incessance.
Snake Charmer - Considering she used to be one, she is...weirdly good with snakes, to the point that the scaly fuckers actually pop their little heads into her quarters fairly often. It is very common to find several of the little dudes in her room, or even hiding out in her clothes for warmth when she wakes up. This was VERY alarming at first.
What do you mean We're out of Food? - She eats. A Lot. Partially because of her spiritual potential, but also because she has an alarmingly high metabolism. Ironic considering she was a snake once, but her energy levels tend to be very high and are consumed rather quickly, as such she eats often and in large quantities. Despite this she is actually a rather picky eater and often will outright refuse to eat certain foods.
So she thinks she can Dance - Dancing is something she actually is physically not very god at doing. Believed to be a result of her snakeness, her body just seems to move on it's own when exposed to music. This is especially prevalent with soft or soothing music or tones. Whenever she thinks she is alone she can be seen dancing to music that she either hears or hums to herself.
Basking - For the longest time she really didn't have any access to sunlight given her general occupation of Hueco Mundo. As such, she is incredibly fond of basking in the warmth of the sun, taking in heat, and just enjoying how nice and warm it feels for her. If it's a sunny day she will be noticably more energetic and will do her best to be outside.
Sarcasm - Thankfully this only seems to occur when she is not working, but since her visit to the world of the living for 16 years, she has gained a considerable knack for sarcasm, particularly when it comes to her friends or anyone she is particularly close to. From time to time this can seem a bit hostile, but is not often done in an insulting way.
Hanging out with Ricky - Perhaps one of the most perplexing and ridiculous shinigami she has ever had the chance to meet, this man is actually someone she dislikes, and somehow she always ends up hanging out with him for some odd reason. Despite her dislike, she does end up enjoying his company. What can she say? He's a funny guy.
Fears:
Never seeing her Daughters - She really wants to see those two, poor little girls she left behind so long ago, and she definitely wants to see what happened after she left them. After her own death, she has been very anxious about the fate of those girls, and has on numerous occassions attempted to get back to the world of the living to try and find them. She is very afraid that they might be dead.
The Strange Man - The individual who gave her life, tried to keep her on the straight and narrow, and who she disobeyed more than once. More than a father, he is something of a god in her eyes, and she is consistently afraid that at some point he is going to punish her for the things she's done that have (she imagines) displeased him. She keeps any information about him incredibly guarded, telling nobody of such memories. Honestly, who would even believe her?
Being Caged - She was a monster.....she IS a monster. Those mosnterous tails of hers, and her past make her.....apprehensive. For the time being, her peers accept her, she has friends, but how long will any of that last? How long CAN it all last? All it takes is one incident, one misunderstanding before she's labeled as a threat to everything.....right? She is very afraid of this, of those she cares about thinking o her like that, of being caged like some kind of animal. The solitude is not what really scares her, it's more the idea of losing contact with those she cares for.
He Moved on - She understands that he probably has. She knows that by now he probably has someone else, someone better...prettier....smarter. Susanoo was a wonderful man when he wasn't trying to kill her, and honestly she has never believed that she deserved him. She really WANTS him to have found someone better, but she can't help but be afraid that he has replaced her.
Goals:
Find her Family - A small part of why she became a shinigami, she hopes to one day be able to find her old family she left behind in the world of the living, if not to meet them, then at the very least be able to see them from afar, or even just know that they survived and are alright. This also somewhat extends to Susanoo as well.
Regain her Strength - If being almost eaten by hollows has woken her up to anything, it's how far she's fallen from her former glory and power. She was once the stuff of a legend, and that's something that, she is surprised to have found, she liked. In order to regain this, she is prepared to dedicate herself to getting strong once again.
Find out Why - Why the Strange Man created her. Why he gave her tasks that she had simply ignored. Did he actually expect him to do them? To wait down in that cave for eternity? Or had he planned all along for her to rebel? There are so many questions she wants to ask him, and no longer being an Arrancar, she doesn't have an eternity to find out anymore. She wants to find him, and get this information.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Overall Personality:
Shizuyoko seems, at first glance, to be a rather mild, pleasant young woman. Around strangers she keeps a bit to herself, but is hardly afraid to socialize, making small talk and trying to get to know the people around her. This is also usually accompanied by a little light flirting, as women with her looks so often do. Her first instinct usually seems to make friends before enemies, and even in more dire situations she tries to negotiate her way through a situation first. Through this, one can usually find out fairly quickly that she has something of a quirky sense of humor, a nice little air of self-amusement and casual indulgence.
Of course, this is at a distance, when one gets closer it becomes....exceedingly difficult to even feel an inkling of concern or worry. The woman has an unbelievable aura. Merely being close to her makes one feel good and promotes a positive attitude. Her smile could melt through metal and if she turns those striking peepers your way, one can't help but feel an unbelievable comfort and security about themselves. And when she puts her mind to it, she seems to be able to weigh down the heart with that aura of hers, to the point where the heart aches to see her sad.
In more personal settings, she tends to be very focused on the person in front of her, or at the very least seems that way. She does have a tendency to nod off a little bit now and then, but whenever she's caught she is genuinely sorry. Even more, she holds being able to hold her attention as something of delightfully high value, often fixating on those who interest her and giving them plenty of attention, something that is to be envied.
So far as her professional demeanor, she doesn't have the strongest of them just yet. Her time in the human world softened her attitude considerably and unless the situation is rather dire, she will always have this lighthearted air around her as she carries out her duties, and with that aura around her, one finds it very hard to fault her for it. Always one to make a joke here and there to lighten the mood, she does her best to enjoy herself while she's working.
So far as professional relationships, she doesn't seem to value them quite as much as people she flat-out finds fascinating, her own interests juuuust slightly go beyond her professional interest and more often than not she does try to keep those she works with a bit closer than just coworkers. Partaking in VERY light flirting from time to time, though she still has a manner of professionalism about her when the need arises, showing an exceptional understanding of more serious situations. This is especially keen since she can almost instantly sense when somebody around her becomes tense or if their intentions have a more serious tone about them.
Of course, there is a darker side to her happiness. IF one were to show her despair, she would fight through it. It is only natural for a warrior of light to be so. But she is not incorruptible. Deep inside of her there is still Yamata Orochi, the monster who ages and ages ago devoured seven children for thesake of gaining new senses, new power. That monster is, for now, long gone and will likely never again scar the world with her presence. But if she is pushed hard enough.....long enough, and badly enough, it is entirely possible that one day that monster will return.
"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style:
Combat. For many, it is an art: honed through generations of study and practice, something that they strive to discover, a journey into unknown lands in the interest of being able to fight better, faster, harder, stronger. Many devote their entire lives to the art of combat and do so with varying degrees of success, aspiring to become the gods that they hear of in legend, of being able to best the cosmic powers of old.
This is not what combat is to Shizuyoko Yamata Orochi Toruaumi. In the Five thousand odd years that she has been alive, combat was never something she studied or practiced. It was a matter of memory and sacrifice, becoming something monstrous to accomplish a goal. It was never glorious. It was never beautiful. It was horrible. Deep within her body, through the countless beings that she had consumed, she had accrued an innate sense of battle of her old form, and while most of that is now forgotten, it is not lost. To call her way of fighting a Style would be an insult. It is nothing short of demonic fervor.
Hachibai no Ryu(Eightfold Dragon): A Manner of fighting derived from memories of fighting with her eight heads and tails, this fighting style uses unusual motions of the arm, namely a slithering S motion of the arms during combat which causes the blade to rapidly whip back and forth. Even with something so forward as a frontal slash or punch, this arm motion is employed, making attacks multi-faceted and difficult to track. The manner of combat itself focuses on the Fifteen maws of the body. (The Shoulders, Wrists, Elbows, Knees, Heels, Hips, Mouth, Back, and Chest.) Striking with the Center-most "Maws" and then consecutively striking with points that grow increasingly distant from the body. (Eg. Striking from the Chest->Shoulder->Elbow->Wrist). As well as chaining various extremeties together for large combinations. (Eg. Left Wrist->Left Elbow->Back->Right Shoulder->Right Elbow->Right Wrist).
However, as Shizu gains classes and regains her tails, this number increases to Twenty-Two.
During Combat, her tails are as much a weapon as her blades are (ironic considering that the tails can be used to hold blades), using firm strikes or grapples in order to wrestle or overwhelm opponents while she attacks. Not only this, but the fact that most of the time, her tails are not visible, makes her all the more dangerous. Having slit small sections of her uniform, this allows spots in her clothing where her tails can slip from at any time, allowing her to initiate surprise attacks on unsuspecting foes.
In line with these hidden tails, hidden weapons are something of a favorite for Shizu, often hiding knives, razor wire, shivs, razor blades, kunai, and all manner of concealable weapons on her person. Such is her skill with these weapons that her peers have come to call her use with them Suzumebachi no Kushi(Hornet's Spit). This subtle means of unleashing these hidden weapons actually uses sword slashes and unarmed strikes as a guise for throwing the weapons, using special grips and orientations of the limbs such that the act of striking releases the throwing weapon. With this technique, enemies believing themselves to have survived an onslaught of slashes find themselves riddled with small blades or needles.
This technique is actually considered a subsection of Hachibai No Ryu, and typically uses the style's multi-weapon attacks as tremendous distractions and diversions, as each and every available limb engages simultaneously in attacks whilst these subtle ranged attacks occur during the confrontation. Even when opponents are fully aware of and able to prepare for the technique, few opponents (if any) will even come close to being able to physically handle the attacks themselves.
One of the most glaring weaknesses of this style is that the user's mind is completely and absolutely honed to utilizing the style and maintaining the physical and mental capability to retain not only the obscene ambidexterity, but the focus and sharpness of mind needed to independently both act and react using each and every one of these points in the body. As such, the user's body is very susceptable to poisons, heat, cold, or Illussions, as quite simply, the mind and body typically can only diversify so much. Not only this but the strain this puts on the psyche over the years is very intense, and one usually only befitting an actual beast or monster. On an entity that is sentient, this causes them to be particularly susceptible to mental games which cannot use logic to circumvent.
Of course her light Aura being so incredibly strong, she can typically understand immediately whenever it is that an opponent is trying to trick her or holds intent on mentally scarring her. As such, mental games revolving around lies don't effect her in the slightest given her incredible foresight. However this means that mental games which are based on truths are all the more effective against her. Because she can TELL they know the truth, which makes things so much worse.....
Zanpakutou Appearances:
Nanakiba Orochi: In it's sealed form, Hachikiba takes on the form of a rather enormous Nodachi. With a handle that spans a full 35cm in length, an elongated hilt of ten centimeters in thickness, and a blade that extends to a full 1.8 Meters in length. This enormous blade features a very slim, long, slightly curved blade. As it is a piece of her soul, Shizuyoko wields the weapon effortlessly and as quickly as one would wield a wakizashi. Strangely, the blade's swing whistles in a high pitch as opposed to a low pitch as one would expect of such a large sword.
When Released, this weapon becomes a massive Segmented Cleaver. Crescent shaped and with handles all along the backs of the blade as opposed to one end, making it handle somewhat similarly to a warglaive. The massive weapon itself is segmented into Seven pieces, such that it has seven handles. When separated, this weapons brekas apart into seven separate blades with Pendulum-bladed tips as opposed to points. Each segment has a Katar-style handle which extends to about 60cm in length and about 10cm in width before coming to the tip, which widens to a curving pendulum-blade style curve with curved points extending on either side to a span of about 18cm.
Each of THESE Segments is, in actuality, a razor flail with a special pendulum tip. Each piece is segmented at 10 cm increments, with twin lengths of steel chord that run through them, with an edge on either side and all around the tip. When fully extended, each blade can reach 15 meters in length.
Daihachi-bi: In it's sealed form, Daihachi-bi takes the form of a wakizashi shortsword. With a handle 12cm in length and a blade that extends 32cm in length and about 4cm in thickness. The blade itself is a deep coal-black and has a very unsettling feel about it.
When released, the Zanpaku'to's blade shatters, seemingly vanishing into wisps of black smoke. The hilt alone by itself extends to about 18cm and red drips from where the blade once came from. The blade itself having shattered into no less than 50 shards, however these shards are almost impossible to see.
Shunkketsu Tengoku During her bankai, both shikai fuse and gain the same abilities as one another, Nanakiba breaking apart into pieces, adding 50 shards each to the mix (Resulting in 400 shards total). From the ground, any surroundings are shoved out of the way as a shadow of her former comes into existance from the shards of her old blades.. An 8-tailed, 8-headed Dragon. Each section of the dragon from head to tail measures a full 30 meters in length ,which is a uniform height for the summoned creature. Each head and corresponding tail corresponds to a different color, except for the 8th head and tail, which remain Grey.

The Overal Ability Is fixed upon the legend of Yamata No Orochi, or rather.....a version of it. Yamata no Orochi, an eight-headed serpent known for consuming seven of the eight daughters of Ashi and Te Nadzuchi, earthly deities. The dragon itself was originally born as a lowly creature, almost Senseless. It could see nothing, taste nothing, and feel nothing. All it could do was hear it's surroundings, and lie dormant in the ground for ages. Deep in this cave, it would remain motionless until a spirit or animal would pass by, at which point it would pounce upon it and devour them, adding to it's strength.
Over countless years the beast grew stronger, but no matter how strong it became it would not regain it's senses. As such the serpent concocted a plan, hunting down a couple who had with them many daughters. Believing that consuming a child of such entities would gift it the ability to gain it's other senses, Orochi attacked their home, demanding that they surrender one of their daughters lest it eat the lot of them.
Lamenting their situation, they froze, unable to move. Save for the oldest Daughter. Stepping forth, she offered herself to the beast and was quickly eaten. In that very moment something happened, and suddenly Orochi's mouth was filled with a tingling sensation! The blood of the daughter filled it with energy and suddenly they found that they could taste. Overjoyed, they left, leaving the disheartened family as it went to begin eating as much as it could.
A Year later, the serpent returned, demanding yet another daughter, and one of the daughters, once again for love of her family, stepped forward and sacrificed herself to the dragon. Once again it worked, and the monster's skin filled with sensation, it's ability to feel with it's skin had been returned and it once again rushed out into the world to indulge in this new sensation. Suffice to say, a year later, it returned, and devoured another daughter. And it regained it's sight....somewhat. To it's eyes, the power of sight was far more....expansive than simple taste or feel, and so to it's eyes only the color red was revealed.
Dissapointed, but still enjoying it's partial sight, the snake continued it's routine. Returning, consuming a daughter, and then leaving for a year to indulge in the newness of it's abilities. In this manner it regained it's taste, it's feel, and the colors red, green, yellow, purple, and orange.
However, when it at long last came to consume the last of the couple's daughters, the Storm god Susanoo intervened, mortally wounding the beast, and driving it into the sea, where it's blood spilled away, and it's eyes closed forever.

Actual Ability Shizuyoko's ability derives from the story of the dragon Orochi. This eight-headed, Eight-tailed beast was incredibly powerful. However it could not see the color blue, unable to see it and ultimately the color blue became it's weakness. to overcome this weakness, the dragon used it's teeth to bleed it's opponents, crowning out blue with the color red, overcoming it's weakness and becoming stronger. This her abilities revolve around making the environment "Bleed" and turning the color of materials to red.
Shikai Overall Ability:
Nanakiba Orochi Shizu's left-handed Zanpaku'to. It is derived from the Seven tails of Orochi, the eight having been severed. When released, the zanpaku'to takes the form of what seems to be a massive cleaver, but actually separates into seven separate modular katar-styled longswords that can separate into bladed-flails. When swung, these blades can, at will, be separated and mentally manipulated, making them incredibly erratic and hard to track. These blades each have a certain hue to them, which respectively are Crimson, Orange, Gold, Emerald, Amethyst, Silver, and Coal. This interacts with the special abilities of these blades that allow them to cut with incredible potency, the color that they are designated to cut through. However each blade also has a color or shade of white that they are weak against.
Daihachi-bi Shizu's right-handed zanpaku'to. It is derived from the Eighth tail of Orochi, which was severed in order to allow her to shatter her mask in ages gone past. This was also the weapon into which she had poured all of her malice and evil, ridding it from her body until it was found by Susanoo. As Such this sword radiates a dull evil about it. When released, the blade shatters and separates into fifty dark shards, impossible to see with the naked eye. They do however have a very distinct feel of malice coming from them, as if all of the evil that Shizuyoko lacks were put into it. When these blades touch something, the target is drained of the color blue and instead bleeds a red. This is not actually blood (though if the blades actually cut something then that may be mixed in) but a pure dye which stains what it touches. The blades move at a static speed of 800.
Bankai Overall Ability:
Shukketsu Tengoku: Shizuyoko's bankai culminates from a fusion of her shikai abilities into the shadow of herself that it summons. The 30-meter tall 8-headed 8-tailed dragon retains the abilities of shikai and bankai, but in an upgraded format. Each head and corresponding tail having a color: Crimson, Orange, Gold, Emerald, Amethyst, Silver, and Coal, with the eight head and tail remaining a colorless grey. Based on the color being hit, these heads have varying effectiveness on that which they attack.
The Monster itself retains a strength of about 1200, 1600 in the case of the crimson head, and move at Shizuyoko's speed. Additionally each head has an internal reiatsu pool of 1000.
However, Bankai costs 500 extra reiatsu in order to unleash.
Zanpakuto Techniques:
Iro no Kyõen (Feast of Color)
Nanakiba Orochi Shikai-level Ability
This ability corresponds to the many-colored blades of Nanakiba. Each blade is incredibly potent, with a cutting power of 600(800 for the Crimson). However, when cutting through something of similar hue and shade to the blade, this increases to 1200, and whenever they contact something the color red, have a cutting power of at least 1000 (1500 in the case of the Crimson blade). However, in the event of cutting anything that is the color blue, the cutting power of these blades is reduced to a mere 300, 200 in the case of the Crimson blade.
At Bankai level, their destructive powers increase to 600/1200/2000 for normal color correspondence and 800/1600/2400 for crimson.
Osoroshi Sukeru (Dreadful Scales)
Daihachi-bi Shikai-level Ability
This technique corresponds to the 50 shards of the zanpaku'to's blade. When shattered, the shards of this blade are treated as if they had a 2 in stealth, making these blades all but impossible for the naked eye to see. However, they give off an incredible 100 Dark Aura, allowing those with at least a 100 Dark Aura, or a 85 light aura to be able to sense the general direction of the blades, and if combined with a 1 in anti-stealth, able to discern their exact location. Additionally, at least 200 in senses or Energy senses will also count as if they had 1 extra anti-stealth. A 400 in either will count as 2. Anti stealth of 2, obviously, also will allow them to be seen.
At Bankai level, this ability applies only to the Grey Head and Tail, which hide amongst it's brothers. IT has a 4 in stealth and only an aura of 100 light will count as a point of anti stealth. Sensory and Energy sensory apply as normal (+1 anti stealth per 200) and naturally the individual's natural anti-stealth also adds in.
Iro no Shukketsu (Bleed of Color)
Daihachi-bi Shikai-level Ability
This Technique corresponds to the ability of Daihachi-bi's blade shards to bleed a target of color and cause leave behind a red dye, which stains the object. This however does not, and cannot, apply to an individual's skin. This effect is initiated by simple contact with the shards. This Dye, contrary to most abilities, is not a status ailment, but is quite simply a physical dye. The dye itself can take techniques up to 600 points in reiatsu damage, or any class 3 or higher technique. Of course, the recipient will have to decide on weather removing the dye is worth damaging the object themselves to get it off. This requires that the shards make physical contact to distribute the dye and color-drain.
In Bankai, this ability applies to all 8 heads and tails of the Dragon. However for the first post that they attack, the object is considered it's original color, the red only taking effect the post after it is applied.
The Dye's durability increases to 900 or class 1 techs. At this level it can dye skin.
Other Techniques:
Class: 8-1
Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): Bodily Attribute
Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Shizuyoko Toraumi
Technique Element: None
Technique Description and Effects: Since being attacked by a hollow and being passed on toward the world of the dead, the hollow reiatsu exposure awoke her more.....ancient aspects of her body, and as such she has regrown one of her old tails. The tail itself is long, scaly, and whip-like, with a tuft of blond hair growing from the tip, similar in kind to an eastern-style dragon, measuring at about four inches in thickness at the base before tapering to pointed tips, each tail being about a meter in length, the tips of these tails are actually flattened to a bladed, spear-like tip which is hidden by the tufts of blond hair, each tip is about four inches long. Until Class 3 these tips can really only scratch and inflict shallow cuts as they will not have hardened yet. So long as the skill requirements are met for her tails, she'll be able to use them as easily, if not more so, as she uses her arms.
As she grows in strength and continues to encounter hollows, the number of tails will grow. At class 7 the number of tails increases to two, at six increasing to three. At class 5, the number of tails begins to grow even faster, resulting in five of them. At class 4 she will have Seven of them. This however is the extent of her tails, as her eighth tail was severed in the making of one of her swords.
After class 4, no new tails will grow. However! These tails begin gaining new aspects, becoming more and more like the fearsome appendages she once owned.
At Class 3 they gain hard scales, covering her tails and gaining a durability equal to 650(Class 3), 850(Class 2), 1050(Class 1), 1250(Class 0). This also applies to the hardness and effectiveness of the sharp points at the tips of her tails.
How to use technique (How is it activated?): N/A
Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) These Tails require incredible mental abilities to fight with, requiring that Shizuyoko take points into a special skill called 'Multi-Dexterity' in order to use them in combat. This requirement increases based on the max skill cap of her class/rank. If the Multidexterity skill is not at the maximum possible for her current class and rank, she will lose the ability to effectively use them in combat, making the tails a rather glaring weak point on her body. This skill however, only pushes her so far. With this skill, she can fight with all seven tails for 4 full posts, with each tail left out of the equation, this increases by 1 post. (5 tails can go for 6 posts, 4 for 7, ect). By taking a rest post (A post in which none of her tails are being used) she can recover and allow herself to fight again. (Each post of rest allows her to recover 2 posts of tail use. If she has fought for say 5 posts, she may rest one post to bring the 'effective count' back down to 3, and can fight again with the next post counting as the fourth post out of the 5 duration.
If she switches the number of tails being used midway, then the new max shifts to however many she is now using, however she can only shift DOWN. And she can only shift in twos, or completely. Example: Shifting down from five tails to four tails will only buy her one extra post of time, and cannot be done at the last post of the duration. Example: at the third of dour posts for fighting with all seven tails, she can shift down to using five, bringing her to 3/6 for that post. And the fourth post bring herself down to using only three, making it 4/8.
If severed, in a DP or DE thread, they follow the same rules as regrowing another arm.
Additionally they have no special defense against reiatsu attacks (She can still use Reiatsu Strength Flexing, but the tails don't have any easier a time of accomplishing this).
Incantation and Effect:

Reserved? (Yes/No) (Can others use your technique, or just your character?): Yes.
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.
Technique Name: Advanced Air Ground
Class: 7
Technique Type: Spiritual Technique
Technique Description and Effects:
This is a technique designed especially for breakdancing and parkour, utilizing a more advanced version of air ground. While in a terrain where air ground exists, the user can create more complex surfaces like air walls, air ceilings, air ledges and even an air push. This allows the user to perform handstands and windmills on air as if it were normal ground or even stand upside-down on air as if gravity was reversed. The air push makes the air ground very elastic so that the user can jump higher and allows for slight movement even when restrained by a bakudou.
For a reiatsu cost of 25, the user will be able to momentarily cast an "air ground" on areas such as soul society and heuco mundo, allowing the user to "double jump" or cast shunpo in midair. If this technique is mastered, the user will be able to create air grounds that last for as long as a post. This can be used in creative ways to improve acrobatics and visual impressiveness.
Drawback: No drawback.

-History-
Birthplace: Deep-Caves, Japan.
Current Residence: Sereitei
Memorable Figures:
The Strange man: Her Creator.
Itakhe Sanmizu: Father of her Children.
Momo and Mimi: Her Daughters.
History:
It all started with that strange man. So very long ago, in her first memories. She couldn't see. She couldn't feel. She couldn't taste. All she could sense was heat and sound. He said that she had been a statue, a work of art for an ancient temple, of a god who had eight heads and eight tails. He told her that she would be special, that he had a plan for her. Taking her into a deep cave, he left her there, promising that when she needed him, he would show himself. In time, she came to surmise that he was some kind of arrancar, but that would come much later.
For years she waited, doing her best to try and be patient, but in time she grew frustrated. She wanted to find him, to see him, and perhaps at some point, find some sort of purpose other than to guard some hole in the ground. And So she came up with a plan. All around here, these creatures moved about, other creations from the strange man.
One by one, she lured them to the deepest parts of the cave, and when they were alone, she would devour them, tearing them into eight to feed each of her mouths. She figured that if she ate enough of them, she would be able to gain their senses. But to no avail. Even after she had eaten every other living thing in that cave, she had grown to incredible strength, but still her senses remained as they were. And so, she resolved to go out and look for him as she was. Emerging from that cave, she roamed the countryside, devouring animals, spirits, and other hollows.
Until she found them. Ashi and Te Nadzuchi. Of the Nadzuchi noble family. A family of strong shinigami who had once been a great noble house, but because of treason by one of the Family heads, they were hunted down, and to escape death, they sought refuge in the world of the living. She could not defeat them. They and their eight daughters were powerful, and so she watched, waiting. She noticed that each year, one by one, the girls would wander off at some point to pray at a shrine for their family. And so, she waited, watching them from the shadows. And when at long last, one of the daughters visited the shrine, she emerged and devoured her.
She was amazed to find that consuming the young soul had given her not only strength, but her mouth was fillwed with flavor and sensation, it was then that she regained the ability to taste. She was overjoyed, years and years of suffering, desperate to meet her maker, she had finally found headway. That night, the family wept, and despite the fact that she was responsible, for the first time she felt empathy. For the family's sorrow, she left, allowing them a year to grieve.
Twelve months later, she returned. And once again, unknowing of how Orochi had been snaring them, they continued to go to the shrine, so once again, she found herself with a meal coming right into her claws. Snaring the second daughter, she killed her and ate her. This time the sensation was all over her skin. Her feet, her tails, her heads, all of them were suddenly bathed in sensation. And once again, she felt a stinging regret as she laid witness to the grief of the family. However, she took comfort, in that she would only need to eat one more of them.
That next year, when she finally ate the third daughter of that noble family, she felt sensation in her eyes. It was....glorious. She was overjoyed, immediately leaving the area, and looking upon everything she could. But...there was something wrong. Several months later, she realized that something was not working. She could only see red. Realizing what she would have to do, she waited for the year to end, knowing she would have to eat every one of the couple's daughters.
Four more times she feasted upon them. Four more years passed, and she feasted upon the daughters, and the couple grew more and more desperate. However, it was with the eight and final daughter that she found something different. When she waited at the shrine for her to appear, she was not alone. A lone shinigami on patrol had encountered the family and having fallen for the daughter and knowing the fate of her sisters, he escorted her everywhere she went. And so, deciding to take a chance, given her strength, she attacked. But the shinigami Susanoo was strong. With his zanpaku'to, he attacked, rousing the nearby ocean and tossing her about with enormous waves, before leaping upon her belly and cutting into her chest.
Direly wounded, she retreated, slipping into the ocean and swimming away, unable to devour the last daughter, her sight remained incomplete, unable to comprehend the color blue. As she ran, she spotted something that reminded her of the other creations of the old man. However, she did not sense him in them as she had the others, and unlike her brethren, the holes were not through their skulls, but through their chests. Before her eyes, the beast opened the sky, and inside showed a terrible void like none she had ever known.
Rushing in, she demanded that the beast teach her this strange ability, and so she found herself in hueco mundo, with the natural hollow as a guide.
In time, she learned to live in the strange place. however it was.....strange. A number of hollows in the sands attacked her, and often they would be relentless. Attacking her repeatedly, until finally she would slay them, eating them and leaving their bodies as reminders to the others. Yet still the attacks continued. Again and again she would eat them, growing in strength as she did.
In time, something happened. She noticed that her masks had begun to crack. The more she ate, the deeper the cracks became. Until finally, one day they shattered completely, and as the light left her eyes, she felt.....different.
When she awoke she found herself in a very different body. She was...smaller. And she looked human save for the eight tails on her lower back. It took several days for her to adjust to this new body wandering the desert. However her power, all of it, seemed....distant. Wrong... and a new mask covered her face. Warped, but not cracked or broken. It was before the time of true arrancar. A Vasto Lorde. Of sorts. Until....once again....the man came.
Fearful that he would be angry with her, she threw herself on the ground, weeping for her sins as he looked upon her with pity. He lamented, telling her that he had been unable to create a true hollow. That he had done his best to make her like other hollows, but to no avail, as she was incapable of their raw cruelty. Deciding that he would not punish her, he took from her one of her tails, and within it, he used his power to breathe upon it, and before her eyes it became a sword, and her mask cracked, falling away.
He explained to her that he had brought the tail to life. A separate form which would serve as a vessel. With it, her heart would be able to heal, breaking her mask and allowing her to regain her former strength. However, she would need to train with it constantly, lest that power begin spilling back into her, and she would return to her monstrous form. Thanking him, she accepted this new blade, but....she felt...intrigued. Why should she give the blade her power? Surely she could keep that to herself. And so, rather than her power, into the blade she poured her flaws, her insecurities, and her malice. The emotions she could not control, were all poured into the blade, leaving her with all of her power. With her emotions and parts of her soul shed, her power was able to well up within her, and soon she was brimming with power. However, her body could not quite contain all of it. The slightest of knicks on her skin cause fire to spill out, burning away her surroundings and scalding her skin.
With each and every battle, she continued to bleed this fierce fire. Until the founding of Las Noches. With the use of the Hougyoku, she was offered a place among the many arrancar in Azeru's army. When she accepted, however, the blade from the old man suddenly burst to life. With two blades, her soul was divided, and suddenly all of the emotions and feelings she had poured into the blade came to life, searing her hand and causing her to drop it. From the skies, that blade fell, as it cut it's way through the air and fell into the sereitei. From the sky that blade fell, and where did it fall? The feet of the Shinigami Susanoo.
Feeling his old foe within the blade, he took it for himself, and began to reforge it, seeking to rid the blade of the evil inside of it through the forge. But when he heated the blade, the malice inside of it escaped through the steam, and forced itself into the shinigami's lungs, and corrupted him. Overnight, the zealous shinigami was suddenly filled with this malicious hollow power, and so became one of the corrupted: A Vizard.
With this new power, he broke into hueco mundo, slaying a number of hollows and hunting down Orochi. Confronting her, vowing that he would slay her as he had failed to do so long ago. Alas, Orochi attempted to dissuade him, saying that she had no intentions of following Azeru, having simply used the man to gain power. But he would not listen. Taking the stolen blade, they fought a long and bloody battle. For Eight Days and Nights, the two went at one another, until finally, on their last legs, the two came to a stop.
Seeing the shinigami twisted by her former instincts, Orochi resolved to try and cleanse the man, to try and obliterate the evil that had taken him over. And it was in her mind that the man once again found her. In that split second, she was taught the deeper workings of her new zanpaku'to, and before the vicious monster Susanoo, she released her blade's true and final attack. What today is called: Saiko no Houmen. And with one final strike, she destroyed the evil within Susanoo, ridding him of his dark powers, but at the cost of her own. Sending the both of them to the world of the living. As Humans.
With her new life, she found that she was....content. Having never been a human before, she found that it was very different from her old life. No hollows, no suffering, and certainly no shinigami to hunt her. She was able, at long last, to find a peaceful life. And of all things.....she found herself with her old foe. After having become humans, the both of them took on new names. Susanoo took on the name Itakhe Sanmizu, while she took the name Shizuyoko Toraumi. The two found that after all of their fighting, without their powers, they had very similar interests, and most importantly, they had only eachother as they tried to acclimate themselves to this strange new human world.
Day after day, they came to get used to this new modern world, and....day by day.....week by week....and month by month. She found herself looking at her old foe....differently. As they came to be familiar with the human emotions, she found herself happy whenever he was around, and before she knew it, Susanoo and her soon found themselves having a child. After their first child, Itakhe proposed to her, and the two were engaged. Pregnant with her second child, Shizuyoko was ecstatic, but....little did the two of them know.....it was not to be.
Just after their second daughter was born, they were attacked by hollows. And without their old powers, they were direly wounded, barely able to kill the monster. Both of them lost their human lives, as pluses. It was at that time, that thankfully, a shinigami appeared. She was konso'd first, but after she appeared in soul society, he never showed up. For years she waited for him, waiting, but in time.....she feared the worst. Something had happened. Grieving for the loss of her love, Shizuyoko decided to become a shinigami, in memory of her lost love, and as a tribute to his old life as a shinigami. Before she went to the academy, she made her way to their old battlefield, now a wilderness of destroyed land, and retrieved those two blades: Her weapon as an arrancar, and the Corrupted blade he had wielded long ago, now devoid of any of it's old potency. She came up with a plan, that when she received her zanpaku'to, she broke it in two, and fed the metal to the two other blades, so that no matter what, she would never forget him.
