Byoukage

Byoukage is the manifested spirit of Seke Miyamoto's Zanpakuto, which Seke often sees when he's in his inner world. The name of his Bankai is Byoukage Maruyane.

Appearance
Byoukage is a tall man, with a black cape-suit and black jeans on, red, unkempt hair, a black shirt, red eyes, an eyepatch on his left eye, two small shields on the back of both hands that reaches half way up his arms, and two maroon wings with sharp, red points all around the edges. When he was first seen in Seke's inner world, he came in the form of a giant, red dragon, but his true form is mentioned above.

Personality
Byoukage is generally a very cold and cruel individual. It took many years for him and Seke to get along, and even now they don't always see eye to eye, which often times tends to restrict Seke's true power and potential. Byoukage is a very lazy Zanpakuto, who doesn't like to get into battle simply because of the hassle.

History
Most of Byoukage's history is unknown. All that is known is that Seke had Byoukage when he was an assassin and bounty hunter in the Rukongai District, long before achieving Shikai.

Powers and Abilities
Grandmaster Swordsmen:  Considering his master, Seke Miyamoto, is a Grandmaster Swordsmen, Byoukage himself has also inherited this trait. His swordsmenship skills alone surpass that of all other Zanpakuto spirits.

Enhanced Shunpo:  Byoukage is an incredibly fast Zanpakuto, capable of almost keeping up iwth Sentaro Miyamoto's Zanpakuto spirit, who's known as the Shunpo Grandmistress. It's interesting to note that Seke himself is actually not this fast alone.

Enhanced Foresight:  Byoukage has the unique ability to see for long distances at a time, which he can turn on and off at will.

Enhanced Regeneration:  Byoukage has the ability to regenerate wounds on his body, albeit very slowly.

Zanpakuto
The blade is slightly largerl than a regular katana, with a red/black hilt, and black, swastika-shapped hilt guard, and a kanji on the end of the handle, to respresent the Royal Miyamoto Family. Even when sheathed up, Byoukage emmits quite a bit of spiritual energy of its own.
