Ryuji Kenpachi

Ryuji Kenpachi (剣八龍児, Japanese for Eighth Sword of the Dragon Child) is the Captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13. Like all Kenpachi he ascended to the Rank of Captain via Trial by Battle, slaying the previous Captain in the presence of at least 200 members of the Division. His Lieutenant is Shinku Kurayami.

Appearance
Ryuji is a tall man with long flowing and unkempt black hair that extends to his waist. He has long wild bangs that hang over his face, obscuring his dark yellow eyes from view most of the time. Instead of a full Shihaksho Ryuji only wears the Hakama, with nothing over his upper body, exposing his toned and muscled body. His haori is notably tattered and damaged, being worn as a waist cape due to its condition.

Personality
Like everyone in the 11th Division Ryuji is known for his battle lust. He finds nothing brings him greater joy then fighting for his life against an enemy who is stronger than himself. Despite this lust for battle however he is also shown to be very caring for those in his Division, willing to risk his Captaincy to protect his 3rd Seat. He has also shown an aversion to causing needless harm to others, only wishing to draw his blade against someone who has caused harm or is willing to engage in battle.

Powers and Abilities
Vast Spiritual Energy: Ryuji is in possession of what many consider the most massive levels of Reiryoku out of every member of the Gotei 13. Despite this he shows absolutely no control over it, causing it to surge out and cause havoc around him. A positive side effect of this however is the fact his massive aura of energy acts to blunt the impact of most attacks, serving as a makeshift armor of sorts.

Zanpakuto
Sento (千刀, Japanese for 1000 Swords) is the name of Ryuji's Zanpakuto. Sealed it takes the form of a long bladed chokuto with a sandy brown hilt and matching sheath. The blade has a somewhat battle worn look to it, however beyond that is in top condition. The sheath is worn at Ryuji's waist on his left hip.

Shikai: With the command "Sink into their flesh" Sento enters Shikai. When it first enters Shikai Sento generates 999 swords of pure reishi which it then absorbs into itself. Concentrating the cutting edge of 1000 swords into a single blade gives Sento unrivaled cutting ability that can penetrate all but the most powerful defenses.


 * Shikai Special Ability: By concentrating so much power into a single weapon Sento grants Ryuji unrivaled attack power.
