Appearance: [He is a thin man, quite thin, but he is very muscular. His muscles and thin and compact, almost bony, but no one can doubt that they are indeed muscularity. Standing at a tall 6'1 height, and measuring 165 lbs due to his compact muscularity, Old Lightning is a truly imposing figure. His hair is a cropped gray cut, and his eyes are a stormy gray as well, imposing, scary even. His skin is slightly tanned, and his hands are usually tucked with each other behind his back. Old Lightning's eyes never lose their focus, and it seems that he never blinks, a trait which makes him quite scary to behold when he glares at someone. Old Lightning has scars all across his body, though most of them are hidden on his outfit. The scars are presumably from hundreds, maybe even thousands, of battles, since Old Lightning was part of the Zero Division of Soul Society.
Old Lightning's outfit is rather complicated, for it is not the general attire. Old Lightning wears of course, a shinigami robe, but it is white, and not very large, a bit tight on his body. The Squad 1 Emblem is visible on the back of his robe shirt, and the pants and shirt don't even need a sash to fit since they are tight. Old Lightning also wears a long sleeve, blue coat made of the same woolish material as a sweater. It is buttoned up by 12 neat gold buttons from top to bottom, and it has gold shoulder pads made of a solid painted iron. Old Lightning has no pockets on his outfit, for his hands must always be free. He also, on occasion, wears an all blue general's hat, similar to the hat worn by Generals of the military in the human world, which he has observed over time to learn, since he is quite fascinated by them.
Old Lightning possesses a few wrinkles on his face, but not that many. Age has not really caught up to him, and his face is stoikly devoid of anything that would possibly make him seem less intimidating. His face is hard and cold, unbending and unphased no matter what he hears or sees. He appears to be in his late sixties or early seventies, and though Old Lightning is long out of his physical prime from the looks, he is stronger than ever. Years in the Zero Division undergoing tough missions have made his muscles hard and solid as iron, and forged his reiatsu to such a fine point that it surrounds his skin and solidifies his muscles literally to the point of being even tougher than an average Hierro.
Old Lightning is covered not only in the scars of his tough missions, but in various war tattoos from his time in the Zero Division as well. One of these tattoos is visible directly on the center of his chest, an enormous black phoenix meant to represent the Soukkyokku, which Old Lightning was once forced to wield in order to battle someone. Another one is located on his left arm's upper bicep, and it is of black ink, revealing the number "0" much resembling an Espada's number, but used to actually represent the Zero Division. Old Lightning's sword sheathe is visible at his side on the right hip, but it is anything but traditional.
While most sheathes are simply black or red, Old Lightning's is silver and adorned with golden zeros. It is also shining and pulsing constantly with powerful Reiatsu, something that Old Lightning cannot get rid of. He can mask it for stealth, but this doesn't matter since he rarely sneaks around. The pulsing, without being masked, does not stop until Old Lightning draws his sword and goes into battle with it, in which case the pulsing becomes part of the sword instead of the sheathe. His hands are rugged and large, powerful, his knuckles huge, powerful. Old Lightning does not have even a single spec of weakness visible on his physical being. ]

[4.] Closed Minded Individuals, he believes that those who are too narrowed minded and cannot broaden their horizons are not worthy of being an being.
[5.] Disloyalty, Old Lightning feels sickened when anyone, especially a shinigami, betrays their own kind and believes their death should be unpleasant and gory.

[7.] Greed, also in the lines of gambling in his childhood, he finds that greed corrupts the mind and distracts it from more important issues.
[8.] Show Boating, to simply dance around and be flashing during fighting to show off brings his blood to a boil. Combat is not a dance, it is a clash!
[9.] Pineapple, visiting the human world he had come across pineapple and decided to try it. He discovered that it was too sweet for his liking and vowed to never try it again.
[10.] Arrancar. When it comes down to Arrancars, he completely despises them. He believes they are mutated scum who don't even deserve the title of beings.

[2.] Rage, when Old Lightning's anger is sparked, he will constantly assault the enemy and will ignore their attacks.

[4.] Fighting, Old Lightning was a notorious brawler and duelist in his youth and still shows up today, mainly fighting with his fists rather then his zanpakuto.
[5.] Cracking His Knuckles, Old Lightning constantly cracks his knuckle, especially before a fight.
Fears: [None what so ever. Old Lightning has faced countless threats and won nearly impossible battles. Through out his life time, he has come to fully understand the meaning of fear and simply finds that being afraid will not solve anything and worse, it will most likely get you killed one day. To be afraid, in his opinion, means to have weakness and Old Lightning despises weakness. He has even controlled the Soukkyokku, a symbol of death, in combat, showing his power and dominance over fear. Instead of being afraid of fear, he challenges it openly to come and try its best against him. However, all those who have challenged him have met their swift and merciless doom.]
Goal:
1. Old Lightning's one and only goal is to completely keep Seireitei safe, even if it costs him his life. He believes that it is his one and only true home. Seireitei came to respect him so in return, he desires to keep it safe from the hollows and other possible invading forces. The only way to keep it safe is to completely obliterate races such as the Arrancar and Vizards. Only then, could Old Lightning die peacefully.
Overall Personality: [Old Lightning is subject to an unbreakable will, and the law of "No Bending." He will not bend regardless of anything, that is simply the way he is. He has truly become a battle hardened warrior of the spiritual world. All those around him admire his power, his courage and especially his intellect. Those who do not show respect towards him, he will personally and literally "smite" them. Old Lightning will also only take orders from The Royal Guard and The Spirit King himself.
Old Lightning does not take foolishness lightly. Those who will most likely become a severely injured, if not dead, being. When issued a challenge, he will basically never back down, and be extremely aggressive, alright inhuman. Mercy is a unknown word to him and his opponents will be slaughtered if met by his might. Old Lightning normally remains extremely serious and focused due to his time in the Zero Division. He learned that a split seconds hesitation or sign of weakness will most likely cause you to end up butchered.
Along with his titan-like strength and his aggressive behavior, Old Lightning is also a tactical genius. He can derive the best from the worst situations, knowing when best it would be to attack and how to turn the tide of a bad situation. He is known to never lose no matter the odds, even if it means continuing the remainder of a war himself. Old Lightning has gladly beaten the odds, even if it seems that their defeat is inevitable, Old Lightning continues fighting without a moments doubt and inspires his troops. His aggressive behavior also creates fear in the enemy forces, especially hollows.
Old Lightning as especially been shown to be fearless. He has even shown to take direct attacks head on and come out unharmed. While Old Lightning is around just other shinigamis, he is calm, collective and wise. Many of the shinigami find that he is is their sensai. Old Lightning only displays his wrath in combat or angered by something. Very few have actually seen him show emotions such as sadness, anguish, grief, sorrow or joy, especially joy.
Old Lightning is basically a man among men. Stern, serious and courageous, he is a perfect example and leader for the shinigami. He reveals little emotion other then anger, mostly directed towards his opponents. Old Lightning taunts death to come and claim him, taking on armies by himself and letting attacks hit him dead-on without even receiving a scratch. Many admire him and wish to hopefully become like him one day in their spiritual lifetime.]]
Powers: [Insert Below]
Old Lightning knows many Zero Division Kidou. He also seems to have an ability akin to Hierro, but even stronger than a hierro.
Shikai:
When the Shikai becomes activated by the callout phrase, "Electrocute, Raikiri!", Old Lightning's powers become so magnified, that enemies will cower in fear. The basic ability of the Zanpakutou itself is to command lightning, thunder, and electricity. But the Shikai, takes the brute power behind the lightning, and focuses it into massive power for pure and raw destruction and pummeling, mostly close range, though there is some long range. The arms become covered in a red arming, and the fists become lined with lightning, the shoulders burning with flames. The flames act as a jet during a punch, magnifying the raw strength of the punch. During Shikai, Old Lightning's strength doubles, as does his Reiatsu strength. His punch not only breaks enemies, but it also sends a hundred thousand volts into their body per punch. He can also choose to switch the flames to the fists, and the lightning to the shoulders. In this case, the punch speed will be double Old Lightning's speed, and the flames will erupt out as the punch occurs, completely blasting across an enemy.
Techniques for Shikai:
Technique 1: Sequence 1
Powers:
This technique is one of the most brutal one could ever imagine. It allows Old Lightning, while with the lightning lined fists, to release a devastating bolt of lightning from either of his fists with one punch. The bolts are identical to actual lightning bolts in every way, and as a result, are completely over the top in power, very highly capable in destruction.
Technique 2: Sequence 2
When the fists are lined with flames, solid punches can release huge cyclones of fire at an enemy. However, the fire is just a trick. As soon as the fire nears the enemy, it will dissipate, or if they try to defeat it then it will dissipate. When this happens, the cyclone will reveal itself to be made of 200,000 volts of electricity.
Bankai:
"Raikiri Jigoku." The Bankai's overall ability takes complete control of the powers that Old Lightning has at his disposal. As soon as this ability activates, everything becomes chaos and panic for the enemy. Old Lightning's Reiatsu explodes off of him in a fiery, rushing instant as a burst of enormous lightning, a storm of nothing but lightning. The enemy could well be completely annihilated just from this storm, let alone from the Bankai itself. As soon as the lightning fades, it is visible what has happened. Old Lightning is no longer controlling regular lightning. Neon blue lightning is all around, but in the form of huge, serpentine dragons. Each dragon is the size of the white prison tower of Seireitei, which stands 20,000 feet tall. [It's the tower Rukia was imprisoned in, in the anime/manga.] And there are thousands of these dragons, each one composed of thousands of lightning bolts, maybe more, hundreds of thousands possibly. These dragons can be freely controlled by Old Lightning. The lightning in each dragon actually splits atoms apart, and harnesses that energy. As a result, each dragon has the power of an atomic explosion at it's disposal. THOUSANDS OF ATOMIC EXPLOSIONS!
Technique 1: Sequence 3
Powers:
This is one of only two techniques in the Bankai. It is devastatingly powerful. This can be done with one dragon, or with all of them. Huge, cylindric beams made completely of plasma and lightning and heat and energy can be fired out of each dragon's mouth, heading towards an enemy. Each beam is conceivably half the size of one of the dragons, and so obviously this is a devastating ability.
Technique 2: Final Sequence: Death's Pounding
Powers:
All of the serpentine dragons combine together to form one enormous dragon, easily large enough to blanket Seireitei. The dragon is not only huge, but the lightning is now 100 times stronger than it was before, and the dragon is made of many, MANY bolts, millions, maybe hundreds of millions. It can shoot huge beams, or release electricity and lightning from all around it. The dragon can split off back into the regular serpentine dragons, but it is far stronger as a regular, HUGE dragon.
History: [Will be done later]
Extras - Fighting Style:
His style is one of brutal and sheer fearlessness, confidence to the very last. Old Lightning is rarely on the defensive. If the hit is a potential fatal wound, he will of course be forced to defend. Mostly however, he simply smashes an opponent's attack to bits with his own, and then continues with his attack to smash his opponent. Old Lightning is offensive mainly, and purely aggressive. When he is hit, he will never even once flinch. Nobody can possibly get him to recoil or anything of the like, a trait that made him the Squad 11 Captain at one time. When facing an adversary, Old Lightning cannot help but beat them into submission, and then finish the battle. His raw strength and high tolerance to pain and whatnot make him a perfect fighter. While he is good at taking hits, it is difficult to land hits on Old Lightning. He does not wait when he goes into "battle mode", and he attacks first. Surviving his barrage is a far more pressing matter than even bothering to attempt to attack him.
Old Lightning Shikai is also very brutal. While he swaps between two elements, the more dominant one is the obvious lightning. When Old Lightning battles in Shikai, he thunders like lightning. Averagely, an opponent will never recognize that they have been killed with him, and will die without even knowing what happened. Usually it isn't too bad, Old Lightning simply massacres any and all opponents that dare to cross him. He can command the lightning of his traditional zanpakutou freely, and he can manipulate the flames at his disposal from the first zanpakutou, but he generally does not do either of these. He is far fonder of feeling the connection. As a result, Old Lightning prefers to line his arms or simply his fists with the lightning or flames, and punch enemies, beating and pounding them until there is absolutely nothing left to even look at or think about. Old Lightning is perhaps the most powerful Shinigami in 15,000 years.
Old Lightning's Bankai is one in a million to behold. Some would dare say that it is even more stunning to look at than the Soukkyokku. In fact however, Old Lightning's true abilities with his Bankai are almost never used either. Of course, he is rather fond of using Ryuujin Jaka before he gets to his own Zanpakutou, but when he is using his own Bankai, the power he commands is unbelievable. He will meet any and all enemies in a head on confrontation with this, punching them with the reiatsu lined fists, or simply obliterating them without putting them into submission, and accomplishing this goal with his wild and unruly powers. Old Lightning has one signature trick in his Bankai that he tries to avoid at all times, but it is to no avail. He cannot help but cause some of the fragments to explode, and completely wipe out nearly all of the enemies, not leaving some from any battle eager followers of his.
Old Lightning's style with Ryuujin Jaka is very different also. While before getting it he used his own zanpakutou traditionally, receiving Ryuujin Jaka has made it so that Old Lightning is a man that uses this first. His battles do not last long, and he will give a "light scorch" to most enemies, which essentially translates into frying them completely. The thing with Old Lightning, is that he has both the strongest fire based Zanpakutou, and the strongest Lightning Based Zanpakutou. If anyone were to dare oppose Old Lightning, they would be killed in an instant, there is absolutely no comparison when fighting him. He gives off such an intense and over whelming feeling that one cannot help but pray for mercy and beg for death when he is through with them and they, by some miracle, are not quite dead yet.
