Kona Soragami

Kona Soragami is a shinigami and lieutenant of the 8th division, serving under Gēji Tsukuro. He is the second son of Mitcheru Soragami and younger brother of Kiran Soragami. He was born roughly 500 years following the war between the Vandereich and Soul Society. Having been born after the "Dark Era", Kona serves as one of several living embodiments of hope for the Gotei 13 and its continued future. He is a close friend to Eimi Tsukuro and Samu Kasai.

Appearance
Kona is a tall individual with dark brown hair, his eyes matching his hair. He has sufficiently tanned skin and a fairly slender figure. He often wears his shinigami robes, even in a casual manner, though he has been known to wear other clothing. He wears a single, silver band ring on his left thumb. He also has his birthmark on the palm of his left hand.

Personality
When compared to his highly extroverted brother, Kona comes off as an introvert. While he does have trouble expressing himself to strangers, he has no qualms about speaking his mind to his friends and family. Kona enjoys the company of friends will often go to various places with them, even when he has no interest in the place at all.

Kona is often the first of his social circle to join a fight, though he is never the one who starts it. He will fight ferociously to defend his family and friends from any perceived threat. He is careful with his attacks, however, lest he cause too much damage or harm nearby onlookers. He insists quite heavily on all fights being one-on-one, though he will take on groups if he has to.

Powers and Abilities
Very High Spiritual Pressure: Kona possesses a reiatsu level well above his peers, able to hold his own against supposedly stronger opponents for protracted periods of time. This is shown to be hereditary, however, as all Soragami have been born with high levels of reiatsu for the past 150 years.

Skilled Swordsmanship Practioner: Kona is a talented swordsman, always seeking to hone his abilities even further. Of his group, he ranked third for swordsmanship. He knows at least seven different sword styles, though limits himself only to single weapon ones.

Kido Practitioner: Kona is proficient in the usage of kido, able to use Kido up to 40 without incantation.

Skilled Shunpo Expert: Having received further tuition from his captain, Kona has become able to keep step with captain-tier opponents with ease.

Extreme Durability: Kona has been shown to weather incredible amounts of bodily damage, from direct lightning strike to receiving high level kido spells and even an attack from his father's Bankai.

Adaptive Intellect: Kona is very adaptive, often changing sword styles or tactics on the fly and coming up with plans quickly enough to fool people into thinking he's "winging it".

Zanpakuto
Sen Yami (Thousand Darkness): The name of Kona's Zanpakuto. It's sealed form takes the shape of a katana with a black handle, silver handguard and black sheath. Kona wears it on his left side.
 * Shikai: Sen Yami's release command is "Destroy all in the void". It then splits into two and takes on the form of a european longsword, though with a Katana's guard.
 * Shikai Special Ability: Sen Yami is a kido-type Zanpakuto. It has the unique property of being able to generate a black, smoke-like, substance that Kona can then manipulate in a variety of ways. This substance, dubbed "Darkness", draws incoming energy and matter into itself and crushes it. However, stronger entities may resist, withstand or even outright ignore this effect if they are of sufficient power.


 * Kotei no yami (Imperial Darkness): Kona generates a large amount of "Darkness" and sends it towards his foe, akin to a wave.
 * Yami no ana (Hole of Darkness): Kona generates a filled-in circle of "Darkness" just in front of him, which draws incoming attacks to the centre, to block.
 * Yami no Kabe (Wall of Darkness): Same as above, though it is a large "wall" instead.
 * Bankai: Kona holds his Shikai vertically in front of him, flat edge face him. Upon uttering "Bankai", Kona rotates the blade 90 degrees to the right and then tilts it forward roughly 45 degrees. A great release of reiatsu follows. The Shikai then changes into a large broadsword with a double handguard, the top V-Shaped and the bottom fully horizontal. Kona himself becomes cloaked in darkness and the blade seeps even more.
 * Bankai Special Ability: Aside from generating Darkness at over five-times the rate of the shikai, the actual power of the darkness is also amplified by five. In addition, Connor can manipulate the darkness in more intricate ways and at greater speeds. The drawback to this bankai, however, is that if Kona takes sufficient damage the immense pressure with begin to crush him.
