Living in the Soul Society along with other secret survivors known as ShugoTenshi ( ???,Guardian Angels, also known as "Guardian Spirits" in the world of the living. Viz. Guardians) which are Angelic beings from the realm of (Insert Name Here), who kept Hell under wraps protecting the world of the living from the evil influences of Hell, sinners and its demons.

Appearance


the motto of the Assassination Squad, the members of whom all specialize in the art of killing their opponents without being seen; or being too fast to be caught after a successful kill. Each and every member of this organization submits themselves to the ridge barring of their captain and are put to the test with their subtlety, skill and use of shunpo. Even with it's new Captain, it retains its motto as a symbol of pride and honor towards their former Captain Vincent Canicus.

Personality
Not much is known about Tenrai, only that he is a secret student of the former 2nd Division Captain Vincent Canicus, who only recruites promising members to the second division.



Tenrai usually tends to keep calm and quite distancing himself from others for unknown reasons. Those who hear him talk can say that Tenrai's voice is a deep voice almost resembling that of a hollows. Tenrai not welcome by most, for a fact that no one knows who he is and why he was allowed to become Captain of the 2nd Division with out it being known.

Though he tends to walk around the seireitei, when off and on duty giving a helping hand around the rukon district feeling it as his duty to help the lesser souls. Though his motives are unknown, Tenrai makes it clear that he will one day find his master's killer and avenge him and his Soko Heishi. Tenrai is has also been known to visit two elderly people, though know one knows why, it gives a  reason for them to suspect more of him. Unlike the 2nd Divisions previous Captain, Tenrai reacts differently towards his subordinates, he does not anger as easily, or disrespects them, he tends to sometimes talk and be more friendly to curtain people despite his low tolerance of goofy or foolish actions from others.

He simply expects their full cooperation and loyalty. He rewards those who deserves it playing a fair game to those who try and succeed then those who don't and fail. He expresses himself with the utmost authority as a leader, teaching his subordinates that they must kill each and every target without hesitation, even if it involves friends and family members, that their duty is to protect the Soul Society from all threats understanding how tough the decision could be. Tenrai believes strongly in the creed of the Onmitsukido, which is: 



which goes back to his trait of leaving personal emotions out of the battle field. Though tough on his subordinates, Tenrai is admired for his courage, respect, sense of duty, and utmost loyalty to his job.

Though others may have a small resentment, as they have lost their former Captain, Tenrai just tends to reply with authority by saying,



Though, not one for relationships, Tenrai tends to keep himself from falling in love, keeping himself from such fantasies such as love. Tenrai believes that relationships tend to leave a spot open for weakness and pain, so he tends to not pass through that path. Tenrai seems to not have many friends and those he does become friends are usually though as Rivals. One of Tenrai's secret negatives are sending his Vice-Captain to always fetch him his favorite drink of Sake which works by getting drunk using it to learn drunken-boxing one of the newest styles he wants to incorporate into his assassination fist.

During combat some can say Tenrai, can be a bit arrogant to the point where he ends up under estimating his opponents. Though not one to talk much during a battle reason being hes one of those who tends to just kill first ask questions later, when knowing he is not endangering his men or any innocent beings. Tenrai is known to be one to always look at a situation and find the most efficient solution possible. He tends to not waste his time bickering with an opponent taking any action at his disposal and finishing his task in any way possible.

Honorable like his master before him, Tenrai has been able to show mercy at rare time to those throwing their lives recklessly giving them a chance to live, but like most who tend to not value their lives.. he strikes without hesitation or sense of mercy. In conjunction with the creed of the Omnitsukido Tenrai Strongly believes in his own personal moral code, which is: "Kill or be killed."

Some of the members of the Gotei13 have even noted that Tenrai is like a nicer reincarnation of the former 2nd Division Captain Vincent Canicus. Despite his sometimes blunt and straight forward behavior, they see that deep within is an honorable man who tends to keep himself from being a bother to others focusing on his job and tasks, Instead of sitting down and socializing with others.

Equipment
Gauntlet Arm: A prototype gauntlet created by none other then former 12th Division captain Sergei, it's designed to enhance the wielders energy based attacks ten-fold, with the restrictions of not using it often as it can absorb the wielders soul into the blast killing them in the process. Another side effect of this prototype is, that it may cause the wielders bone to deteriorate. Nicknamed the Cursed Metal Gauntlet, not because it is truly cursed, but because of an unknown effect of permanently being stuck to Tenrai's right arm. The Gauntlet is Black in color with a metallic shine to it, its finger tips sharp as claws and a engraved glowing reaitsu arrow like shape on the back of its hand area with glowing holes for knuckles. It's wrist down is also black to a pointy elbow like spike, with tiger like glowing markings on the forearm or wrist past the wrist area, following other glowing designs on the bicep and triceps area. Made from unknown indestructible material strong enough to withstand attacks for any weapons or things such as magma. The rock or material was found from an unknown dimension found by Sergei, known as the blurred dimension as he calls it.

Mask: A black mask resembling that of a Vizards with no type of details or designs. The mask in nature has no teeth or eye sockets, it simply can be mistaken for a vizard's mask since it has similar bone like structure.
 * Mask Restoration: An Ability where Tenrai places any of his hands ("usually his right hand") moving it to any side regenerating any damaged parts of his mask. Though its been shown that Tenrai uses his hand to fix his mask, there's been times where he has focused his reaitsu to regenerate his broken or cracked mask.
 * Voice Changer: The mask has the ability to mentally change the voice of its wearer thus, changing his/her voice to be either deep, high pitched or any where in between.

Current Power and Abilities


Hakuda Master: Since the day that Tenrai was tossed into the maggots nest, he has learned to perfect his hand to hand allowing him to influence his hands to unleash a small burst of force during each successful hit with only his bare hands, thus being known as "Tenrai of the Iron Fist." Years pass wanting to arm himself with more knowledge in the art of hand to hand, Tenrai has asked special permission to allow former masters of the various fighting styles to teach a bit of what they know through his various travels during his times in the world of the living. Tenrai has become master to his own right being able to create lethal techniques from a simple hand strike resulting into his signature move the "Shinku Yari", (Crimson Spear).

Known Styles:

 * Karate: 5/10


 * Aikido: 4/10


 * Kung-fu: 9/10


 * Tactical-Wrestling: 7/10
 * Ansatsuken (, Assassination Fist): 10/10

Ansatsuken (暗殺拳, lit. "Assassination Fist"): The assassination style was created during the first years of the 1st founder of the Canicus Clan and his son the 2nd Head of the Canicus Clan. These techniques requires vast concentration, as some of these techniques can be quite dangerous if done wrong. Year's where taking into owning these techniques and mastering them in his own way thanks to the help of his master and teacher.
 * Shinku Yari (真紅槍, Crimson Spear) A technique created by his former master Vincent Canicus only requires a mixture of a knife-hand and a spear-finger technique, striking in such a way causing an immense splatter of blood. Only high level opponents can see the motion, causing weak opponents to see nothing but a splatter of their own blood. Only using this technique when the situation calls for it. Tenrai is the second and only person besides his master who has learn this technique.
 * Tenketsu (点穴,Pressure points): A technique where Tenrai charges his reaitsu into both his index and middle fingers thrusting, them towards one of the many pressure points, which sends all the blood back to clog up the blood vessels permanently paralyzing an opponent. The opponent can only be Mobile by using the Technique known as Ten-chi. Note that this move can also be deadly as the opponent is no longer receiving blood for an amount of hours which can lead to a slow and painful death.
 * Tenchi (天地,Heaven and Earth): A technique where concentrating a potent amount of spiritual energy into the hand, by doing this the user strikes the spine of its opponent with enough force to crack the bones back into place causing the enemy extreme pain, allowing them to be mobile in about a total of 5 hours. A draw back of this technique while not doing the technique correctly can result in instant death.
 * Taiga Shinkou-Ken (??,Tiger's Rising Fist and/or Rising Tiger uppercut): also known as Tiaga no Jōshō-ken, (上昇拳, also meaning "Tiger's Rising Fist and/or Rising Tiger uppercut") is a Hakuda technique which is usually after a set of combos, where Tenrai takes his right hand forming it into a fist thrusting it up towards an opponents chin while rocketing himself with some horizontal movement and doing a 360 spin.

Tatical Wrestling: Though once being in the realm of mortals "The World of the Living." Tenrai has often been fascinated by their different styles of fighting such as wrestling, which in most cases tends to be fake. Though willing to learn the style Tenrai has developed a great skill in submissions and technique in which he can forcefully bring down an opponent.


 * ChokeSlam: A move known to be fake in the world of the living, that was proven to be wrong because of his enhanced strength which allows him to grapple the opponent by his/her neck lifting their body weight up into the air, thrusting their own weight and momentum against them towards the ground. This move has been seen by (insert oc name here) being used from about 10-20 feet high seeing as Tenrai smashed his opponent into the ground causing a immense crater. The technique itself has its drawback, in whether the enemy can have the time to counter or reverse the move in order to evade it.

ZanJutsu Expert:

Accelero Expert (??, Latin for Accelerate): A ShugoTenshi's high speed movement technique, which is equivalent to an Arrancar's Sonido. In terms of speed, they are both pretty much equal; though Accelero is more of an instinctual technique, it requires curtain knowledge to fully grasp and understand the technique. The technique can be accidentally confused for an Arrancar's Sonido being, that the Accelero sounds more like a high-pitched boom almost slightly like firing a Cero. Another would be that when they use this technique they seem to fade into a white version of shunpo.
 * Enzeru tsuppari (, Angelic Thrust, "A technique only known by Tenrai"): A technique developed by Tenrai himself, this allows Tenrai to concintrate a fair amount of spiritual energy, into the palm of his hands and feet by allowing the spiritual energy to flow out his palms in the form of blue energy, which allows him to use it as a thrust to evade an attack and/or to jump a long distance gaps. Though this technique can be used countless times, it does not allow the user to use it as a source of flight.


 * Gyakufunsha (, Reverse Thrust, "A technique only known by Tenrai"): Similar to the "Enzeru Tsuppari" but strictly opposite, where the energy was used to thrust or boost him, is now used to attract an object or opponent towards him. One draw back for this technique is, that any one or anything bigger then his size or strength will be impossible to move towards him. This Technique can also be used to thrust himself not just backwards in one direction but in any backwards direction the user pleases. Another draw back for this technique is depending the distance of an opponent, which makes almost no effect about 20 feet away, in other word this technique is best used when opponent is about 5-13 feet away. This technique is currently used by only Tenrai.
 * Way of Onmitsu, 5ft of the Shiho Hanmyoka (,"Fifth of the Shiho - Tiger Beetle, referencing their running"): Speeding up the spiritual flow within their bodies drastically, the user enhances their speed to a point where they become invisible to the naked eye. Motions can only be performed in a straight line and when the user comes to a standing-still position, their pathway is torn apart because of the burst of speed and reaitsu. Visibility for the user during the technique is reduced to near zero, requiring running in short bursts to re-orient themselves as they chase down their target.

Velociferor Practitioner (??, Latin for "Shout" Viz "Words of Power"):

Great Spiritual Energy: Assasination Speacialist:
 * Masterful Reiatsu Control:

Enhanced Speed & Reflexes: Just as his former teacher Tenrai has also shown himself to be a very agile fighter. He has demonstrated great reflexes in battle, able to quickly dodge a strike with no wasted effort and he can almost instantly counterattack right after, he is able to strike quickly without warning and in rapid succession.

Inner World: NOT YET REVEALED

Reikai (??, Soul Release): Shoot.. and blossom... like the tree of life.. which never withers... and nurrishes.. the dark with its light..... let the lightning strike down and burn my blade.... "  Shoudenryoku!!

Reikai Special Ability: His reikai is similar to his master Vincent Canicus's zanpakutou shikai, however, they are different due to the lack of compression. The zanpakuto are efficient in melee, but with the command "shoot" they can turn into handguns capable of shooting burning lightning.

Tenken (??, Divine Punishment) :

Tama no Reaitsu (??, Bullet of Spiritual Engery Viz "Energy Bullet"):

Zenkai (全開; lit. Full Release): Taihou Juritsu Raikōben (??, Cannons Created by Thunder Whip)



Zenkai Special Ability: NOT YET REVEALED 

Tama no Reaitsu (??, Bullet of Spiritual Engery Viz "Energy Bullet"):

Tenraiden (??, Divine Lightning): A blast fired from his left cannon, this technique takes his reitsu, and fires it out like an electrical cannon rivaling Hadou #88. It takes much less time to utilize, but afterwards the cannon must cool down or it will run the risk of breaking.

Joukai Shinsahibakuha (??, Heaven's Judging Fire Blast): A blast fired from his right cannon, this technique takes energy from his body, and fires it as a wave of pure heat rivaling that of the Quincy "Heilig Fuer." This technique can be used constantly, but it weakens the material of the  cannon, leaving it more vulnerable to attack.
