-Basic Information-
Name: [Layle "Sea Breeze" Shiroe]
Age of Death: [23]
Real Age/Age of Appearance: [40/23]
Birthday (Month/Day): [April/13th]
Blood Type: [A+]
RP Sample (Optional): [Layle could barely keep her eyes open with all the dust and rock being flown about. The woman was simply making a trip to the grocery store with her girlfriend when something slammed into the ground ahead of them. When their vision became more clear, a large ghastly figure stood just a few feet away. She never witnessed anything like it. Her girlfriend Ayame screamed in a mixture of panic and confusion.
"Aiyyaaaaaaaaa! Wh-What in the hell is happening?! I don't see anything but there is a huge hole in the ground!" Ayame screeched.
"What are you talking about? Do you -not- see that thing? It's huge you can't miss it!" Layle tried to reason.
It seemed her words could not reach Ayame who was sitting there completely terrified. Layle herself was shaken to the core but the lives of Ayame and herself was at stake. She had to remain calm. Number one priority was to get themselves somewhere safe. As the creature took a step further, she could clearly see it's repulsive face even closer now. A hideous white mask was spread across the monster's face and when it released that horrendous roar, it's jaw fell so impossibly low. Layle could hardly move she was so petrified in fear. However Ayame's second scream snapped her back into reality and just as the monster rose it's arm to slam down for an attack, she leapt away just at the right moment to dodge the blow before tumbling across the ground.
The woman quickly pulled herself up and grabbed Ayame's hand.
"Ayame come on! We can't stay here we need to run now!"
Layle gritted her teeth as she tried to forcibly pull the woman up but she was too slow. Ayame's body went limp as she seemed to be scared completely out of her mind and before she could react, Layle was slapped away by the creature's incredibly large hand and was sent flying backwards onto the road. The impact thundered through her body and once she finally stopped rolling on the ground, she felt her arms and legs completely broken and twisted out of place. She could only lift her head to watch the woman she loved be picked up by the hideous monster and watched in disbelief as the woman was tossed into the creature's mouth and devoured her.
"Ayammmeeeeeeeeeee!!!!" Layle cried out, trying so desperately to move her body as she witnessed the creature moving towards her. "You sick bastard!! I will kill you!" she screamed out at the beast before it smiled down at her before rising it's foot. The last thing she saw was that massive foot plummeting down at her.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Height/Weight: [5'6/130lbs]
Physical Description: [
- Her long wavy black hair flows all the way behind her back when it's not tied-up in a hairpin. The color of it is completely jet black and naturally straight. The way she styles it she splits the length behind her left shoulder and the right side over her other shoulder and covering her right eye.
- Layle sports a fashionable pair of glasses much like those of Nanao's. She is hardly ever seen without them and is rumored to hate contacts. The woman has a quirky sense of fashion and seems to think glasses make her look much more sophisticated and more attractive than what she really might be.
- She wears a pair of thunderbolt-shaped earrings that extend down from her earlobe to near the top of her shoulders. It's unknown as to why she has them or who gave them to her but she is never seen without them. It could be a momento from someone she once knew or a key to her power.
- On the topic of fashion, she also likes to wear a black scarf that covers her neck entirely and the tail of it extends all the way down between the back of her legs. The silk fabric also has a strip of silver that runs all the way down the middle. Even in the warmer days she always seems to carry this around.
- Her body itself is nothing more than the average female. Her middle torso is very toned but nothing that stands out too much. The stomach itself has noticeable muscle and her overall build is very athletic which shows even in her arms. She is much stronger than the average lithe female in terms of strength but not too noticeable as to overshadow her feminine charms. She is blessed with a well-endowed c-cup chest and quiet the impressive curves on her body. Not that she is one to gloat or anything. The most charming thing about her appearance would be her eyes however that glow a beautiful shade of blue in the right light.

-Personality-
Dislikes: [
- Bugs - Filthy little critters. It doesn't matter how small or big it is, but if it has wings or can leap up off the ground, you can promise Layle will squeal in fear and run away. She loathes the things. Spiders are by far the worst in her books. Their hairy legs and their jumping ability is out right terrifying and she refuses to be anywhere near the little things.
- Arrogance - Layle has pretty thick skin but there is just some people that irk her to the core. Arrogant oafs are one of them. She believes in treating everyone with the same kindness regardless of rank or status. People that flaunt their superiority in strength or ranking really seems to bother her. But there really is nothing she feels like she can do about it with how the soul society functions.
- Hollows - Ever since that horrible night she and her girlfriend Ayame was killed, Layle held a deep hatred for hollows after she discovered what they were. It seemed they lived for this. Feasting on the souls of humans just to further themselves was despicable and she promised to herself she would go out of her way to protect anyone that was in danger from these wretched beasts. She didn't want anyone else to experience what she went through.
- Ugly Clothes - I mean come on, who doesn't? If you are going to wear something you need to look fashionable and pretty. It gets very repetitive seeing the same black kimonos all the time so why not spice it up with little accessories or cute outfits every once in a while? She truly missed her large wardrobe back in the world of the living. However there was a few things she added to her soul reaper get-up she was quiet proud of.
- Ignorance - This would be another one of those few things that get under skin. Not caring about other people's problems when they are in desperate need or just a refusal to care about anything other than someone's self is utterly annoying. It's understandable to lookout for one's self more than others but when it gets to a point nobody cares about anything but themselves is when she gets so incredibly irritated.
]
Likes: [
- Cute things - Yes you saw that right. Cute things. Anything that is cute or even has the potential of being cute is absolutely adored. The smaller the better. This can be categorized with pretty much anything. Animals, humans, other shinigami, clothes, heck even some Arrancar. She loves all the cute things!
- Thunderstorms - While in the world of the living she adored these. Nothing was better than sitting out on the porch and listening to a good thunderstorm. The crackling and booming in the skies above worked as a natural sleep remedy and stress reliever. She could never get enough of these. Even to this day it's become a part of who she is.
- Flirting - Better watch out! Human, Shinigami, Beast, heck even some Arrancar will be victim of this. It doesn't matter who you are, what gender you are, what race you are, if you are cute and of age, she will be all over you. She has a keen eye for cute things as stated before and that definitely applies to her attraction. Though she tries to keep her flirting to a minimum, sometimes she just can't help it.
- Soft Music - Much like thunderstorms, she enjoys a little tune every now and then. Something soothing most of the time. She never was much into the hard music but more so into the gentle and soul-searching type. It always pleases her when she can lay down and listen to a good song, getting herself lost in thought.
- Nature - Ah yes. Nature. Back when she was alive, she loved hiking up mountains and explore through forests. All the cute little critters she could watch and interact with, finding a good spot to lie down and just take in the soft breeze. All the small things about nature just made her feel so alive like nothing else. It was a truly great time to be alive.
]
Flaws: [
- Overconfidence - This can be one of her greatest downfalls. She gets too caught up in fights she believes she can win and underestimates her opponent far too often and usually goes for the worse. It is one thing she desperately needs to fix about herself.
- Doubting Herself - When it comes to making decisions in stressful situations she is never truly completely sure of what to do. That second guess she usually does makes her waste time in fighting and leaves her open or hesitates too long to prevent something from happening.
- Guilt - Everyone suffers from guilt in one way or another but with Layle it's different. When she is solely responsible for something that goes wrong, she won't ever live it down. She carries every failure on her shoulder. A constant burden that will never be lifted. Ayame's death will always be one of them.
- Pushing Herself - In moderation this wouldn't really be a bad thing but with her it is. The amount of time and effort she puts into improving her ability is too much most of the time. She pushes herself to complete exhaustion at points and on occasion, near death experiences.
- In-patience - This goes along with the above pretty well. She tries to rush through all her training to try and get towards her goals that much faster. However in doing so, she is hindering herself to a point where she struggles to move forward at a good pace and not receiving the best training that she could have had she just waited.
]
Habits: [
- Twirling Hair - It seems pretty stereotypical to twist one's hair around with their finger but can you really deny how entertaining it can be when you are at your limits of boredom? It may come off as a flirtatious gesture, but most of the time for her it's simply because she's lost in thought.
- Biting Lip - Biting the corner of her lower lip has been a habit of hers for years. She only really does it when she is incredibly nervous about something. Whether it would be from a date, big event, and sometimes even a battle she'll do it as a sign of being incredibly nervous.
- Napping - Yup. Naps. When she is not busy fighting off the evil of the world she likes to find a reclusive spot and just take a quick snooze. It really helps if she can do it on a breezy afternoon or when a thunderstorm is about. Nothing is better than getting in one's beauty sleep!
]
Fears: [
- Watching People Die - Ever since she was forced to watch her own girlfriend's brutal death right in front of her, Layle has dreaded that feeling ever since and it doesn't matter who the person is, but watching someone die right before her sent her into shock. Being a soul reaper, she has forced herself to work on it more and she's been able to learn some better self control but that fear will always consume her.
- Losing - Everyone hates losing. It sucks. Though when someone's life is on the line and they completely depended on you, it brings the guilt on to an entirely different level. If you failed to protect them while they put their complete trust and faith into your abilities and you failed them, there is nothing worse than that.
- Her own Death - Yes it seems kinda silly to point this out but it's true. She already died once and that was enough for her to never want to feel that same feeling of helplessness again. If she was dead, there would be no more cuties, no more friends, no more food to eat, no more naps, no more love. So she made a vow to always stay alive, no matter what.
]
Goals: [
- Becoming a Captain - This may seem like a pretty cliche thing to put but how else to better impress the women of the soul society than to be one of the main officers? Having a whole bunch of cute little subordinates would be a blessing indeed. However she also wishes to obtain this role to better protect those she cares about.
- Mastering Bankai - This will be a prerequisite to the above. Only the strong and legendary shinigami who trains for centuries obtain this ability. Layle wishes to be among the elite and knows this moving forward that it will take everything she has in order to reach that level. It's a long road but it's one she will tread fearlessly.
- Getting Married - You are probably thinking really? Marriage is a main goal? Well yes you would be correct. Who wants to live life alone? Life is always better with a companion by your side, all the way until the bitter end. Finding the right person to share her life with will be no easy task that is for sure, but, there is still so much for her to do in the meantime. Flirting it is until that fateful day.

Alignment: [Neutral Good]
Overall Personality: [Layle is a very energetic and cheerful individual. If she thinks you are attractive, she will be all over you within seconds. Her personality is not too overbearing and suffocating but more of a breeze of fresh air and kindness. Thus the nickname "Sea Breeze". She is very understanding and one of the best people to talk to if you are feeling down. Layle fights for the helpless and less fortunate and for the greater good. A bright future without fear or murder. She wishes to bring about peace any way she can. Anybody who meets her will come to realize there is not a hint of malice anywhere inside.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style: [Layle has always had superior speed to her counterparts. It was one of her blessings. She can swiftly side-step opponents who are easy to read and go in for an attack almost instantaneously. That speed mixed with her unmatched reflexes makes her a deadly sword fighter or any close quarters combat. What she lacks in brute strengths she makes up for in speed and quick thinking to outwit her opponents. ]
Zanpakutou Spirit Appearance(Optional):[/b] [
]Inner World(Optional):[/b] [
]Zanpakutou Appearances: [
]Zanapkutou Release Names(Include both Shikai and Bankai names, and call out phrases) ["Surge your power into me, Rakurai!"/Transcend my strength!; Bankai, Rakurai Hakai!"]
Overall Ability: [It's as if her opponents are fighting lightning itself. Her Rakurai manifests itself in a shield of lightning from the atmosphere and with the guidance of her power, she can enhance the power of her zanpakuto. When her sword is released, the entire area around Layle becomes a dynamic electrostatic cloud.]
Shikai Overall Ability: [Her Rakurai when released needs time to become fully charged. With each swing of her sword, as long as she remains inside the area of her cloud, her blade charges with electricity but if it collides with another zanpakuto the charge doubles. When she blade is at complete charge, a flow of electricity will surround the blade. When this is at full charge, she can discharge all the built-up power in a number of ways.]
Bankai Overall Ability: [When Bankai is performed, Rakurai dissipates into the air and a mile long radius in each direction gets engulfed into a pitch black cloud. Using her Reiatsu, Layle can form infinite manifestations of her Rakurai from within the cloud but only one at a time. When she manifests her blade, it's made out of raw electricity and each attack is the equivalent of being struck by a bolt of lightning. Within this cloud, her movements become swift as lightning itself and can match majority of every flash-step. With every minute her Bankai is active, a timer is set to ten minutes. At the ninth minute, the cloud will start to slowly dissipate and start collecting itself at the core where it was first released. From there Rakurai will be formed and a large ball of Reiatsu will be generating at the tip of the blade. If Rakurai is left alone, the ball of Reiatsu along with Rakurai itself will explode into a massive wave of electricity and Reiatsu.]
Zanpakuto Techniques: [
- Shikai - Raiha. Layle hovers her hand over the blade of her zanpakuto and with one fluid motion, she fills her blade with a flow of surging electricity from the atmosphere around her. With each attack, she builds up a charge and with every 10th swing or 5th strike against an enemy weapon, she can shock her opponent with 500 million volts. Strikes in the air generates 1 charge while clashing against an enemy weapon generates 2 charges. Ten charges are needed to release.
- Shikai - Kaminari Burasuto. Unlike Raiha, this ability is not sustained. Layle places one hand on the top of the blade while the other is placed at the hilt as she centers her Reiatsu into Rakurai. Her Zanpakuto fills with positive and negative charges that creates electrical charges through out the blade. The Reiatsu begins swirling around the hilt as she centers her blade at the target and releases a powerful shot, exploding upon contact.
- Bankai - Dākushuraudo. Rakurai is dissipated and converted into a mile long radius of complete darkness. The darkness is a cloud that is constantly conducting electricity. Layle has enhanced movement inside the cloud and can summon infinite amounts of her Zanpakuto but only one at a time. They each have one charge and that charge is activated by any forms of contact after she summons it. The first outside force it comes into contact with surges into the opposing force and electrifies with 1 billion volts. This manifested Rakurai can even be thrown with tremendous speed inside the cloud and act like a thunderbolt projectile. The cloud is made up of Reiatsu and requires large amounts to stay active. However regardless of how long she can manifest the cloud, it has a 10 minute timer regardless before it wears off.
- Bankai - Dākuburasuto. Instead of waiting for the 10 minute timer, Layle can summon the cloud and collect all of the Reiatsu and lightning and focus it into the heart of the storm. At the core of the thunderstorm cloud, she can summon her true Rakurai and funnel all her power into it. The blade will gradually begin to glow from black to blue as it scales to completion for it's 100% charge. At 25% the blade will start to dynamically discharge randomly along the ground as it's being contained, 50% is when the the electricity and Reiatsu begins to swirl around the blade. 75% a small circle is formed at the tip, similar to a Cero. At 100% the blade glimmers a bright blue glow indicating the charge is complete. The small circle that formed at the tip would be massive once it reached completion and once fired, the blast would be as large as a building as it destroyed anything in it's path.
Drawbacks
- Shikai - Raiha. Electricity is always dangerous and this is no exception. With each swing she can feel the recoil of each attack. Her hands will start to feel the effects the longer she attacks with that stance as they will begin to burn and the pain will only continue to spread throughout her body.
- Shikai - Kaminari Burasuto. This attack draws out a lot of power from her to create the blast and the after effects of it can be brutal. The blast roars throughout the entire blade and some of the electiricty shoots back to the hilt and into her body. She can suffer tremendous damage to herself if she does not perfectly channel her power.
- Bankai - Dākushuraudo. Within the cloud she is granted very amazing abilities but they are not without cost. With every manifestion of her Zanpakuto she grabs, she suffers burns and the requires large amounts of her power to create each one. So if the fight drags on, it spells bad news.
- Bankai - Dākuburasuto. While she is charging this ability, she cloaks herself inside the storm. While this is happening, she is incredible vulnerable and unmobile as she is grounded to the earth. It takes about 5 minutes to completely charge the blade, so within that time she is completely open to attack.

Memorable Figures: [
- Ayame Kent - Layle's beloved girlfriend she met at college. The two shared a loving four year relationship before their untimely deaths that they shared together.
- Lisa Shiroe - Layle's mother. Died after childbirth so she never really got to meet her but she saw the pictures. Her mother was a great and hardworking woman who was so independent and beautiful. She helped out at homeless shelters and loved animals, cats was her favorite she heard.
- Hayate Shiroe - Layle's father. He traveled overseas while Layle was a teenager and she was left alone with a large sum of money to take care of herself and watch over the house in his absence. The two never really got along very well and usually always spent time apart. There was hardly any farewells between them at the time of their departure. He was still in America when she died.
]
History: [It all started in Kyoto City. She was born in 1977 and grew up in Japan. Her childhood was nothing impressive, went to school like any other kid but there was something always off about her. She felt out of place no matter where she went. Finding friends in school was always difficult for her, she managed to become somewhat popular in high school finally but before that was very lonely for her. It was when she was in high school that she met her love. Ayame Kent. They was both first year students in the same class and Ayame happened to be a transfer student from Tokyo. The two fell in love after their school life ended and went to college as a couple.
Layle never was close with her parents during this entire time either. Her mother died right after her birth and ever since then, her father never looked at her the same ever since. In her heart, she always felt as if her father blamed Layle for the death of her mother. Living with that guilt wasn't easy. In fact she suffered many episodes of depression throughout her life and felt like she should of died instead of her mother. However that all was soon to change when she met Ayame. Ayame forged the pillars that created Layle's self-worth and made her able to become confident again. Without the love and support she received, there would be no telling how bad her life would have turned out.
Life after high school was going well too. The two rented out an apartment and her and Ayame even worked at the same cafe. The payments was rough and she was barely able to keep up with the payments but even so, living with the love of her life made her not care about all the small things. The summer right before they were to start college however tragedy struck. The two went out on their usual shopping run every friday but they went out later than usual. The hour was ten at night and the two made their way to the convenience store to pick up a few things to hold them over for the weekend until something suddenly huge slammed into the ground. Baffled by this, the two had no clue what was going on but Layle however was able to see something where the impact was. It was hard to make out, more like a blur, but she saw something.
It was at this moment she knew this was trouble and before she knew what was happening, the beast attacked them. Since Layle could see the monster's movements, she was able to dodge it for a while but Ayame was not so lucky. Layle was forced to watch the only reason she had to live be devoured alive by that beast and before she could react, the monster turned on her and knocked her into the ground. The last thing she saw was a giant foot come slamming down on her body and everything went black after that. She woke up later with a chain strapped to her chest. Layle immediately freaked out and tried to pull the thing off at first out of confusion but a soul reaper stopped her.
It was a tall bald-headed male who's name she never got. Nor did she ever have the chance to anyway because before she could say anything to him, he pressed the hilt of his sword upon her forehead and sent her into the soul society. It took Layle a while to completely grasp the concept of everything that happened. To actually believe she was dead. It felt so unreal. However she hoped that if she passed on to the soul society, Ayame must have as well. This became an obsession for years. She scouted all of the Rukon district to try and find her beloved, she asked all around to see if anyone knew where she was but alas there was nothing. So in desperate hopes of going back to the world of the living and finding her soul, Layle begged to join the ranks of the shinigami.
It took a while but soon the begging paid off and she was sent off to the academy. She excelled at her Kido classes and impressed most of the other students. Her studying and determination was so strong that she lived and breathed on becoming stronger, to improve herself the best she could in hopes of finding Ayame one day. The thoughts of regret and desperation only grew stronger as each day passed. It was thanks to this strong-will that put her into the advanced class. After her academy training was finished she was placed into Squad 7. It was at this point that Layle knew the day was fast approaching. Soon she would go back to the world of the living and kill that hollow and save Ayame's soul. She just needed to become stronger.]
