Mūkan Takagi

Mūkan Takagi (鷹疑無有感 Absent Emotions of a Hawk's Doubt)

Personality
Mūkan in simple terms can be considered an aloof yet compassionate leader. At most times he bears an indifferent expression upon his face that he has said himself to have grown up with, along with a seemingly cold disregard to everything he views around him. Described as a workaholic; Mūkan places his job above everything else, finishing each and every task handed to him without any form of distraction. He does not procrastinate; and is exceedingly motivated albeit in a more silent and regal manner. He also treats those below him with a cold disregard; believing that the relationship between senior and junior, to just remain senior and junior. Yet it should be noted that regardless of this belief he does seem to treat his subordinates harshly in the sense that he bullies them; but rather he talks to them in an indifferent manner.

However, Liam himself is actually an enthusiastic, well-mannered individual who only plays this facade to impress those with authority that surround him. In fact; he cares deeply for his comrades, having worked with them for several years has allowed him to gain a deep bond with every one of them. He knows his subordinates well and can easily "pull their triggers" commonly for his own amusement. He is also quite the flirt; seen to be hitting on and  on more than one occasion (albeit doing the former usually gets him beaten to a pulp). In battle and/or mission situations however; he bears a virtually stoic personality and will complete the task ruthlessly unless his comrades are in danger, at which he will keep them on first priority. He also likes the occasional spar; loving to see the expressions of when he loses most of their matches.

Zanpakutō
Egukachō (刳花丁 Hollowed Flowers and Leaves) is the name of Mūkan's Zanpakutō. When sealed; it bears the appearance of a daishō pair. Both have black hilts, whilst their guards are of an almost golden coloration, which have virtually circular guards. They are sheathed in a pair of black sheaths, it is found that the sheath of his wakizashi has a longer reach than the blade. Mūkan uses this for clever deception when drawing his wakizashi and katana, allowing him to surprise his opponents with the speed of his draws.
 * : Released with the command, A Breeze Rustles Through the Leaves as Sacred Jewels of the Sleeping Dragon Fall. Let the Hollowed Flowers and Leaves Pave the Direct Unforked Road (葉風剣璽御睡低下.刳花丁為す一本道 Hakaze Kenji Onemuryū Teika. Egukachō Nasu Ipponmichi) upon this moment, Mūkan sheaths both of his zanpakuto before drawing them in such a way that both hilts smash against each other. Spiritual energy then races throughout both swords before dispersing and forming into a single spear. On one end, a lotus-shaped blade rests while the other end has a more leaf-shaped end. The center of the spear possesses a unique set of holes which Fukugi is able to blow into, and play an important part in the ability of Egukachō.
 * Shikai Special Ability: The holes in the center of Egukachō have shown the unique and passive ability to absorb any and all reishi and physical energy from the organic life that surrounds him. From this absorption, the ends of his spear receive an equal amount of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy that flows to the tips of his Shikai allow him access to different spiritual abilities, all the while the organic life that is present surrounding him deteriorates due to the buildup of spiritual energy into his weapon.


 * Hanami no Kama (花実の鎌 Scythe of the Flowers and Fruit) Mūkan causes the stray spiritual energy in his spear to direct itself entirely to the Lotus portion of his spear. From here, he chants, Blossom (盛んになる Sakanninaru), at which the lotus-shaped end changes shape. It expands and manipulates itself to become a five-bladed scythe-esque weapon with a red coloration. The scythe itself vibrates with immense speeds of spiritual rotation. The scythe, whenever swung by Mūkan, allows him to manipulate and create unusual reactions with both the physical and spiritual energy of the flowers and fruit absorbed into the scythe to cause devastating explosions, which can be directed by him with absolute ease. This allows Mūkan to create an exceptionally deadly close combat style, merely by manipulating the time in which he detonates these explosions, he is capable of fighting at all ranges and with any opponent effortlessly.
 * Edaha no Yari (枝葉の槍 Spear of the Leaves and Branches) Mūkan causes the stray spiritual energy in his spear to direct itself entirely to the Leaf portion of his spear. From here, he chants Wither Away (衰死 Suishi), at which the leaf-shaped end changes shape. It lengthens and gains several branch-like protrusions outward and is of a green color. The spear is capable of using the spiritual energy of the trees it has absorbed to then cause the branches and main spear to become uniquely malleable. Mūkan is then capable of using these malleable portions of the spear to grab hold of his opponents and take in extra spiritual energy through the holes on every spear. Once the energy is sufficient, the spear itself contracts to its original branch-like state, but in a more fork-shaped position. From here, Mūkan can willingly cause these spearheads to extend and contract at rapid speeds.
 * Hyakka Sakuha (百花咲く葉 Many Flowers Bloom Into Leaves) a unique technique which causes Mūkan to take up a significant portion of his spiritual energy. By blowing onto the holes in an unique melodious manner. At this point, the absorption of spiritual and physical energy increases and optimizes itself to equally distribute into both sides. This causes both ends of his spear to be placed into their final forms, allowing him to utilize them simultaneously to overwhelm his enemy with absolute efficiency. However, this takes up a significant amount of energy, as such, he rarely uses it.
