Ryuku Kenshi



Ryuku Kenshi is a Captain of a newly established Soul Society known as Yamanika in the southern reaches of Japan. He is the Captain of Strike Force 1 of the 17 Strike Forces and about 60 years ago, Lieutenant of the 13 Court Guard Squads.

Appearance
Ryuku has long curly black hair that is shaved on the left side, dark Cyan eyes, and a scar on his lip from a fight with a hollow in Yamanika. Ryuku's captain vestments feature the traditional Soul Reaper Black Kimono, with a white cloak wrapped over it. He lost his human life at the age of 24, and retains a very youthful appearance.

Personality
Ryuku has a serious personality towards his duties, he sees his duties as his number one priority and success must be achieved. During his human life he refrained from making friends because he saw everybody as very ignorant to the reality of what the world is, which is ugly, and ruthless. When his mother was killed he became less inclined to interact with other humans, and lost interest in their problems and issues and focused on his life until he was killed by a drunk driver.

Towards his comrades he deems them as his family, but treats them as comrades and fighters, to be hardened and prepared to do whatever it takes to preserve their lives and the lives of the fellow squad mates. Ryuku did not have many friends in his previous life and the only three people he keeps close are Captain Hitsugaya, his Fiancee Isuna Uchiki, and his Lieutenant, Managa Inutsuchi.

At heart, Ryuku is a very sweet individual, he is troubled by the loss of his comrades greatly, he even shed tears for weeks after his fellow comrade died within his arms in a devastating battle againts a [Menos Grande]. His ambition drives him to always better his comrades skills and show them that their strength is not the only way to be strong, they must be strong in their emotional content, their hearts.

History and Background
Ryuku Kenshi grew up in Karakura, but was born in Yamanika City. Growing up, Kenshi was desperately trying to survive with his family, more specifically his mother who kept him safe no matter what the cost or the environment to deal with in order to achieve it. As a Child he was not one to make friends but accepted those who were nice to him as good individuals. He liked to play alone and was grateful whenever he was invited to do things, even if he was ignored in the end. During his childhood years his mother was killed in an incident involving Hollows and Shinigami or Death Gods/Soul Reapers. Hollows invaded Karakura and, as expected, began devouring human souls. Kenshi's mother was caught in a clash between a Reaper and a Hollow, and in the destruction, she was killed when a building came crashing down and landed on her. Kenshi was told her final words, holding her in his arms after digging her out "I'm sorry for not being the best mother..."

Kenshi had lost most of his sympathy for other human's insignificant problems, feeling that people complain too much and do not try to fix their problems enough. those who cannot hold their own are left behind. He is a reliable leader that fights only when provoked, to protect his Fianceé, or his friends and partners. His Lieutenant, Managa Inutsuchi, is a close friend, and one of the few close friends that Kenshi will do anything to protect. Managa is a long time partner personally requested to serve alongside Kenshi. His squad is very well trained and rival abilities of the Assassination Squad in the Sereitei of Karakura Region. They are hardened fighters that are not afraid to die for their captain and lieutenant in order to ensure victory of the squad as a whole.

Hitsugaya and Ryuku are childhood friends, from when he was in the Soul Society in Karakura. Hitsugaya was a trouble child and Ryuku tended to keep him in line a lot of the time, though they both caused a lot of trouble sometimes.

After Hitsugaya was named a Soul Reaper, he recommended that they test Ryuku, as Hitsugaya and Ryuku trained and practiced together often.

After Ryuku was accepted as a Soul Reaper, he was set to become a captain, presumably to take the place Kenpachi later claimed. Hitsugaya and Ryuku went on many missions together and Ryuku had even saved Hitsugaya's life by freezing a mortal wound administered by a hollow that attacked him from behind.

After Ryuku was discharged from the Sereitei in Karakura for supposed treason after killing a deranged Soul Reaper and being framed a Murderer, he was later proven innocent, but decided to leave and find a new path somewhere else.

Frequently returning to visit his old comrades, mainly Rukia, Byakuya and Hitsugaya, sometimes he does partake in missions alongside them when opportunity is of the hour.

Ryuku caught wind of another soul society region known as Yamanika, he was taken in and named Captain of the First Regiment of the 13 Elite Strike Forces (Idemona, me, created the new Soul Society as there is only one Soul Society and Sereitei in the Anime.)

Power, Skills and Abilities
Physical Power: He is a ruthlessly decimating opponent, strength rivaling that of the Deceased Espada known as Ulqiourra Cifer, as well as speed beyond that. His body is not very muscular but his pain tolerance and physical capabilities are at an unusually high stand point, making him a very fast and powerful opponent, Training from the particularly famous Byakuya Kuchiki also provides credibility. His near immunity to pain is a frightening thing.

Movement and Speed:  He has mastered every aspect of the skill Flash Step, an incredibly fast teleportation move with various names, and has even taken the liberty of creating a new utilization of it, able to manipulate his weapon and objects with Flash Step. His footwork Arguably rivals that of Head Captain Yamamoto in the Sereitei in Karakura Region, as he has practiced with Yamamoto often. His actual running abilities are unusually quick as well, easily faster than any normal human or standard Soul Reaper.

Sword Fighting: An esteemed Master of The Way of the Sword, Kendo training from Yamamoto, and self taught sword fighting techniques, his sword fighting is close to impossible to match, and is also very unpredictable because he created an entire variant of it himself.

Kido Expert: Known to excel in Kido usage as well, his most used Kido are: Bakudo #8: Seki, Bakudo #9: Geki, Hado #11: Tsuzuri Raiden (He likes to Channel it through his Zanpakuto and fuse it with his Bankai Special Ability Ten No Aisuburakku, or Heavenly Black Ice for a massive ice pillar alongside Bakudo #9.), Hado #91:  Senjū Kōten Taihō, which he only uses when in a very desperate situation, Bakudo #61: Rikujōkōrō

Shikai and Bankai Special Abilities
Shikai Special Ability: <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,'lucidagrande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.3599996566772px;">Ten No Aisu [Heavenly Ice]: Forms a large wave of Ice Arrows that pierce enemies and flash freeze the wounds. The downside is that they are uncontrollable and are prone to missing their target unless used on an unsuspecting target or when their opponent is off guard. Bankai Special Ability: <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,'lucidagrande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15.3599996566772px;">Ten No Aisu [Heavenly Ice]: Forms a large wave of Ice Arrows that pierce enemies and flash freeze the wounds. The downside is that they are uncontrollable and are prone to missing their target unless used on an unsuspecting target or when their opponent is off guard.

Furakutaru: Fractals of Ice from his blade seethe into the enemies skin, blade, or armor/clothing and freeze the areas solid, before exploding into a blizzard of snow and doing massive damage to the enemy. The problem is that the blade of Aisurando HAS to connect for it to be used. And it can only be used when Ten No Aisu has not yet been used in the current time Ryuku released her.

Shōri:  Aisurando splits into four segments and if they connect, flash freeze the area of effect, and result in severe frostbite. They move incredibly fast, However, they can be deflected in the opponent can anticipate their movement speed. They also cannot be used in Bankai stage release, and can only be used if Aisurando has not used Ten No Aisu in the current time Ryuku released her.
