*ADDED* Sound of Voice: Yokkyu's voice can be described as soft, yet deep. One mat find it to be a little frightening. It is filled with absolutely zero emotion, which is why it may seem a bit frightening; he simple doesn't care. His voice isalso very calm, and it is his only tone - it never changes... never. Never has, never will. Even if emotion were to come into the words he speaks, it'd be misinterpreted as sarcasm, due to his voice sounding calm and deep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Appearance~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~General Appearance: Yokkyu is very different compared to most Shinigami, despite keeping normal racial necessities - he is very different than the others in almost every aspect. First and foremost, he has long, shiny silver hair that is draped down to the end of his back, while most Shinigami have a much more normal hairstyle. His arms are very long, as well as having a beautiful set of claws on his hand. His clothes are however not very different from the rest, as he wears the typical clothing of the shinigami - black robes with a white trim, of course under his glorious Captain Haori. Yokkyu wears a white Haori like most with a few extra armored pieces. To be more detailed, let's start from the top and work down. His face is sort of ovalish, yet keeps a sort of round appearance on the sides, and comes to a narrow end at the chin. His cheek bones sort of jut out, but nothing that ranges out of what is considered the "norm". On either side of his face are 2 purple claw marks, which is paint, but appears as if a beast scratched him and infected his skin. On his forehead rests a purple crescent moon that would take up about a quarter of the space of his central forehead. His lips are a light pink color and seem to never get chapped. His teeth are all normal, aside from the canine teeth, which on both the bottom and top set are respectfully long, and deathly sharp, as if he had the teeth of a wolf. His eyes are a golden-yellow color, and his skin is a creamy pale-ish color.
Onto his torso, but this time around, we'll exclude the clothes he wears and come back to them at a later time. His chest is pale and completely bare, with muscles in most spots for a man of his build. Both of his pecks are 5.5', perfectly square, leaving a 1' gap between them. Below his pecks lie his rips, which do not jut out like most others. Yokkyu also has six 2'(squared) abs, three on the left and three on the right side of his abdominal area. Like the rest of his torse, his skin is bare and pale. His chest is protected by his armor, which is able to ensure moderate damage before busting. It should also be noted that Yokkyu gets about 52% of his height from his back.
Yokkyu's legs are normal, having both, unlike his arms. Each leg is roughly 3.5 feet long, which is typically long for legs. Both are pale like his body, yet muscular like an athlete's, giving him amazing running speeds, and even greater shunpo speeds than most. His calves are large and defined, as well. Both feet would be a size 13.5 in mens, however, other than the stated information, the lower part of his body is not unique in any other way, aside from a large scar being located in the center of his left foot, which is odd, seeing as many wouldn't typically get attacked at the foot...
His clothes, on the other hard, are a bit different. They make up most of his unique appearance. He wears a white kimono, with a large, spiked iron shoulder-piece, and a wolf pelt on his other shoulder, followed by a black steel armor plate for his chest, and a yellow and purple sash worn around his waist to secure his Zanpakutou. His clothes cover all of his body, aside from his hand and the very tips of his claws, however, to start with, we'll do this like we did his appearance - start from the top and work our way down until we reach the end of the description of his clothes. As stated, his wears a large, mainly white kimono. It covers all of his chest, goes over his shoulders and drapes down his left side (his armless side). However, on his right side, the kimono goes down, just barely passing his hand, barely exposing the tips of his claws. Towards the top left of the kimono is a white and red pattern, which has a large red spot, filled with white squares. Over his left shoulder rests a large, spiked iron piece of armor, which connects at the middle of his left shoulder plate, over his shoulder, and onto his left peck, and onto the corner of his black chest plate. On his right shoulder rests a large pelt of wolves fur, which on his backside drapes down to almost the floor and flows behind him, but on the right it only goes to about upper-mid chest level. In the center of his chest rests his black chest plate, with a gold and red trim, used for protecting him from most attacks. It can still repel a fair amount of attacks before it will break. On the back side of his left sleeve is the same pattern that Yokkyu has on his upper left neck-piece, a red splotch with a white block pattern. Towards the lower end of his chest plate is a purple and yellow sash, which is tied tightly around his waist, leaving two streamers in front, none in the back. It is used to keep Yokkyu's Zanpakutou in place, which is securely fastened on his left hip. He wears long white pants, with black & pointy shoes.
Reiatsu Color: Yokkyu's color is more or less a blend of many others. The most shown color would be a deep blue. However, hints of black and red give the blue reiatsu a sort of darker and deeper look.
Height: 5"9'
Weight: 167 lbs
Body Type: Yokkyu is very slender - he is very skinny and lean. Thus, he is able to maneuver his body quickly and with adequate succession in silence. He is not buff, but does however have muscles on his slim bones.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Persona~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Personality: Yokkyu is and always has been a very hard person to please and to satisfy. It has always either been his way, or no way at all, or he'd end up getting either frustrated and/or pissed. It was difficult for him to get his way, so he often shown himself as a rude, arrogant and easily-frustrated male, though always showing expertise when it came to being a leader. Being a Leader, he was always stern and believed all those under him should and would obey him, or they'll suffer the appropriate consequences to learn right from wrong, and to spot a mistake before it could happen. He was generally a jerk to everyone, even the other Captains, but knew when and how to show respect when he absolutely needed to, and didn't show it unless he knew he needed to do so. It was just his way of life, it was his way of living. He has many likes, and many dislikes, and he is normal like everyone else and has habits like everyone else, sharing common beliefs, though his attitude was a bit different from everyone elses.
To start, he liked things to go his way, this meant his subordinates listening ATTENTIVELY, paying attention to each and every word he would say, and if they didn't, they'd suffer the consequences. He also liked when he had the ability to help the unintelligent, always lending a sharp tongue to whip them into shape, and if they didn't listen for whatever reason, he would be done with trying and simply give up. Unlike most Captains, he thoroughly enjoyed doing paper work, as it gave him time off to focus on the important things, and less time to chit chat about pointless things. He, like most Captains enjoyed his privacy and time alone especially, as when he was alone he had time to think and concentrate about important decisions. Now this doesn't mean he didn't like being around people, he just enjoyed some time alone every now and then - a bit of focus time. He also liked to train, whether he trained himself, or a subordinate, which either one he'd train as vigorous as shinigamily-possible, pushing himself and his subordinates to their utmost extreme limit, to ensure that the both of them achieved the best result as possible. Though, oddly for a man like Yokkyu, he liked spending time in the World of the Living, as he felt a strange connection with the realm... a connection he could not explain.
With many likes, a man like Yokkyu is bound to have dislikes as well, and he strongly... "disliked" these things, in fact, he had a pure hatred for these things, and they could easily set him off into a giant fit. For starters, he absolutely looked down upon and utterly despised cocky people, as he thought that they believed they were superior, while in the end them being cocky proved that they were in fact inferior beings who simply believed something they couldn't achieve. He also despised being interrupted, and when interrupted, Yukkyu will quit what he is saying and simply glare at his peer with a look of disgust and disregard for manners as he could possibly muster. He also strongly disliked when people spoke too much, as he believed it as a weakness, as the person who spoke too much did not realize it, but if it were a battle, while they spoke their giant forever-long book, they could of had their neck slashed, and have their blood spilled all over the floor. He also hates it when inferiors are disrespectful to superiors, especially when it came to a Shinigami <-> Captain relationship, as he thought each Shinigami should show the utmost respect to a Captain, whether they are or are not the Captain that they serve under.
Even though Yokkyu is a bit different from the others in terms of likes and dislikes, he is somewhat similar to others when it comes to having the typical habits, such as - he tends to think much about his existence, he doesn't know who he is, or why he is where he currently is. He does not know why he chose to become a Shinigami to slay hollows, nor does he know why he even kills hollows, as they react to pure instinct. He also has a habit of tending to look down upon others, even though he dislikes it when others look down upon anyone else, he thinks it or more correctly, he does not notice it yet, but he thinks it is okay for him to look down upon others, as he secretly believes he is superior to most, if not all in some way or another. He also has a habit of walking fast, which is irritating to his peers, as he will be walking at his normal fast pace, and they will not yet be use to it and struggle to keep up with his odd form of stroll. He also tends to jump to conclusions too often, usually not waiting to hear the whole story before he begins to accuse others of things he is not yet 100% sure of, though he is only... part human, it is as expected. He also has an odd habit of laughing at his own jokes, which due to his personality makes it awkward for his dry sense of humor-self to laugh at his own joke, which others tend to make fun of him about.
Like most Shinigami and Vizard, Yokkyu believes in proper justice, though for which side is unknown as of yet. Him, being a Vizard can see it from both perspectives with equality and fairness to both. Having hollow powers, he understands partially what it is like to be hunted by the Shinigami by something you cannot control, and his hollow part makes him despise the Shinigami for doing so. Likewise, Shinigami side sees it the opposite way, that the hollows must be slain and murdered simply for them following their instinct and eating the souls of others, as it is what they naturally do. He believes in justice,though in this case, it couldn't be considered justice, more like twisted justice,which is greatly confusing. Being a man who believes in justice, when if he is straight, he believes a man and a man, or a woman and a woman have the right to be together if that is what they wish to do, as there is nobody who wrote a life-binding rule that it must be the other way around, and Yokkyu believes that all those who oppose the idea are just in denial of being gay or bisexual themselves.
Though Yokkyu as a person is hard to get along with, as he is easily frustrated simply by doing some of the things he does not like, such as being disrespectful. He is frustrated easily by going against his beliefs, and will be quick to raise his voice or shout if he does not get his way. Along with being easily frustrated, he is also quite ignorant, not usually paying full attention to a situation before he acts upon it, even though that is not proper justice, he is just somewhat confused. Along with being ignorant, he is also very arrogant and overconfident in his abilities, which is a major flaw on his behalf and can cost him greatly if the time calls for a serious battle. Like most of his seemingly mean personality, he is also a jerk, being the first one to use bad language, and the first to insult for simple prejudices, which is unjust and unfair, which inevitably makes him a hypocrite, as he goes against his own beliefs and dislikes, which as said above, he does not yet notice.
Yokkyu can be very cold, callous, dispassionate figure, and is rather aloof, brooding, and indifferent, willing to harm both his comrades and enemies should they ever get in his way. He refers to anyone he does not find interesting as "trash" and treats them as expendable. Despite this, like most of the other top Shinigami, he is not particularly violent and will only fight when provoked or ordered to by his leader. His cold demeanor allows him to stay completely calm and in control in most situations, and he is not easily surprised or caught off-guard. However, he does not seem to comprehend the Human trait of fighting against all odds or the very concept of the Human heart; when fighting any person who seems to contain a 'heart', literally, symbolically, or anything of the such, he always looks down on them because they allow their emotions to get in the way of their fight.
Yokkyu is also lazy and an unenthusiastic character at times, who, apparently spends much of his time thinking and which no one appears to try and stop him from doing. In fact, he rarely directly addresses any being below himself. Despite being one of the highest-ranking Shinigami, he is not eager to take a leadership role, shown when he easily allows others to take over a battle of insignificance. He is not particularly interested in whatever is going on around him, although he is surprisingly observant and a capable analyst. Unlike many of the Shinigami, he is not violent or overly arrogant. Yokkyu has also shown himself to be extremely aggressive, but still calm. When taking little field trips around the world, whoever he faces he utterly defeats, or tries to. Despite his current villainous status to the Espada, and current position of authority, Yokkyu is a surprisingly polite, soft-spoken intellectual, often addressing his subordinates by their given names. He rarely shows any sign of alarm or distress and often has entire situations planned out well in advance. Whenever confronted, Yokkyu is casual and uncaring, attempting to draw out a conversation and make small talk, which often infuriates the one he is talking to. He does so because he believes them to be unnecessary to him at the current time, and he, in truth, tries to draw out their emotions, as he believes emotions to be a large flaw, and the more flaw he can draw out, the more of an advantage he believes he can have over his opponent, and in the end, kill them.
Yokkyu is a rather quiet person. Talking isn't his thing. He believes he has a mouth for a reason, to express an opinion and not to talk things through. He believes his blade is the one who does all of the talking. He isn't rude or anything, its just that he doesn't like to talk and he is a rather ... irrational person at times. Though when he does speak, it isn't very many words, and its rather quiet, almost a mumble, or a whisper. At times, Yokkyu is forced to talk, and when he is forced to talk, he talks rather quick, and rather rude. Though he doesn't mean to, he gets fed up with the chit-chat he's being made to do. As said before, he just doesn't like to talk. End of story. Period. He uses small, simple words in times when he is 'required' to talk, if-you-will.
Yokkyu, though quiet, stands for what he believes in. He's always there to fight the long battle, always there to take the journey to Right and fight the "evil" people. He protects his friends because he believes friendship is the key to strength. His strength is drawn from his friends. Not literally though; as in he fights for his friends, and his friends are the reason he fights. It's not to be a Shinigami, or a Captain of a Division, no. It's for the people that make his life and his job easier, his friends. He believes that if there is a path to more power, there is a path to keep your friends safe - but himself personally wouldn't aspire to get that power. Which is exactly why he doesnt look down on the Vizards, he believes they have greater power, which makes them more capable people. He doesn't mind that they "betrayed" the Soul Society, because in truth, Yokkyu would do that too. Yokkyu would take that offer up in an instant if he could, its power, baby! Who could refuse?
Hobbies:
- Being the quiet type, Yokkyu likes to be alone and by himself, it gives him time to think by himself. He usually doesn't like to be disturbed while he is in thought, but he wouldn't particularly mind if someone were to interrupt him. He simply likes to be by himself when he thinks, as when he does, he tends to speak out loud and to himself, softly, however, he doesn't want people to know his inner and personal thoughts, so that is why it is a hobby to be alone: to think by himself.
- This sort of ties in with the first one, however it is a little different. Yokkyu enjoys to go on long walks throughout the Dangi Realm. He'll leave Soul Society and walk through the realm, basking in the cool midnight air. During this time, he often goes back to his previous hobby of thinking, however, he mainly walks to relieve himself of the prescience of others, and when he goes on a walk, this is the time he WOULD mind to be interrupted. It's not as if he'll snap at you, as his voice is always calm, but he wouldn't particularly like you, and he would view you as an annoying pest in his personal conscience.
- Yokkyu inevitably has a hobby to fight - he is, after all, a Shinigami of significant power.He got his hobby from fighting so many hollows in his time. The two races are known to fight, and have been known to fight for thousands upon thousands of years. Despite his calm nature, Yokkyu can't simply abandon his racial urges to fight and to kill. The more he fights, the more he gets consumed in battle and the more he is consumed, the stronger he becomes, and the stronger he becomes, the easier it will be to destroy the the enemies of Soul Society. It isn't a personal thing, rather, it's something that is based off of instinct for him. It's his Shinigami instinct to fight and to kill, to fight and to kill MAINLY his racial enemy - the Hollows.

- Yokkyu's favorite place in all of Soul Society would have to be the Forest. He absolutely loves to visit that place, it brings him satisfaction galore. He enjoys spending time there because there is a multitude of dead & thriving trees, crystals of all sorts, trees that contain the occasionalsquirrel, and an entire dead forest teeming with unseen life, and if one is lucky, even an old friend!
- Unlike most Shinigami, and unlike most any sentient being, Yokkyu loves a good challenge. Being a high ranked Shinigami, he rarely gets a challenge, unless it is from a superior, which there are very few Yokkyu knows of. And whenever Yokkyu gets the chance, he will fight an opponent that is exceptionally strong compared to him, however it doesn't always have to be in strength. Yokkyu is also a very smart and talented Shinigami, knowing enough science to qualify him for that of Squad 12! - and he would accept an intellectual challenge, or possibly a historical challenge, even a location or speed challenge. Any challenge is a challenge, and any challenge is worth trying because to Yokkyu is equals fun!
Dislikes- First, let it be stated that simply because Yokkyu is a quiet and calm person doesn't mean he doesn't have a fair share of dislikes.
- Yokkyu has a strong dislike when it comes to people who refuse to see the truth. For example, if a person is fighting him, and Yokkyu had the advantage and is winning, yet the person on the other end of the battle is over there talking about how if only they can pull through, if only they could do this one thing, they'd win the battle, regardless of how impossible it seems. That is a person, to Yokkyu, who's eyes aren't capable of seeing the truth, a person who is guided by false hope and a person who should have their eyes removed and killed for the mere thought of doing such an impossible thing when it is clear they are unable.
- For racial reasons, Yokkyu has a strong dislike when it comes to a Hollows. He doesn't understand why he loathes them, however, his instincts tell him to, whether it's blind hatred or clear hatred, he hates them nonetheless. He tries to see from both sides; the Shinigami side being: 'They kill innocents mindlessly', and the hollow side, 'We have minds, we kill because me must do so to survive', and once again theirs, 'It is our duty to protect the innocent and purge the evil', and his once more, 'Who are you to declare what is good and what is evil, what is just and unjust? Who gave you permission to protect, what if it is us you should be protecting, but don't realize it due to your own ignorance'. No matter what side he looks at it from, the side of hatred is always the overpowering side.
- Yokkyu also strongly dislikes Vizards - or, a Shinigami who has obtained Hollow-Like powers.. They gain their hollow powers in some odd, mixed up topsy turvy scenario that turns their entire life around, while a hollow has a natural process: Menos, Adjuchas, Arrancar. Or possibly, Menos, Adjuchas, Vasto Lorde, Arrancar, depending on if that specific hollow has the capability to become a Vasto Lorde in the first place. Vizard transformation involves them hollowifying off to gain more power, which is an abonimation to any shinigami.
Goals: In truth, the only goals Yokkyu has is to ensure he keeps his power within his division. He wants to ensure this Squad is under proper command for as long as he has the ability to. He also hopes to one day be able to reach a compromise with his Zanpakutou, thus convincing it to allow him Bankai, which for the given time - it will not allow him to do. Like achieving bankai, which is a way of gaining more power - Yokkyu does wish that one day his skills will be adequate enough to some day lead the Gotei in its entirety - as the Captian Commander. That goal, however, it one Yokkyu isn't too ambitious to pursue.
Fears: Yokkyu is a very cold person - thus only cold things can scare him. The only cold thing that scares him is people being colder than him, which would be moreso a surprise than a fear. However, his ultimate fear is loosing his Division and the Onmitsukido to one of lower potential then himself.
Strengths: Yokkyu's main strength is his devotion to his Division. With something to fight for - something important to him. He wants to serve the Gotei in a prominent position to all. He can not loose it, or all his years of hard work will be forfeit, as he believes he is one of very few who have the ability to lead the Squad as well as the Onmitsukido PROPERLY. With that in mind, he will always fight to prove himself worthy - and rarely will hold back, as he knows that could be a fatal mistake.
Weaknesses: His weakness is his strength. His sole devotion of his Division is, to some, a stupid devotion. He will do anything - will plunge him into most any mess to ensure he has the ability to prove he is truly worthy. One day, it could wind up being a large large mistake...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~History~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bio: Yokkyu's eyes flashed open, as he laid where he was dead, and without a seconds thought, he jumped up, feeling his legs, back and head, noticing he had no arrows anymore, and was somehow alive. With a confused expression, his gaze turned down to his chest, where he noticed a giant chain, which had two chain circles on it, before it was at his chest. It didn't hurt him, but it was there, and he couldn't remove the chain, as he tried to force it off from his chest. Confused, he thought he was in a dream, he began to wander around, noticing his hunger and fatigue were long gone - this couldn't be a dream, it just couldn't be. Things were too great to be a dream, he FELT this, you didn't FEEL dreams, you SAW dreams, but you never felt a dream, and this was sure as shit no dream at all.
With a smile, he wondered around for two days, paying no attention to the chain, which within those two days lost two links to the chain, leaving just the metal pentagon in his chest, which was slowly disappearing. He walked through town, but was quick to notice either everyone ignored him or they couldn't hear him, nor did they acknowledge him, which deeply depressed Yokkyu, though he had no idea. Could i be dead...? he thought, scratching his head as he looked down, only to finally notice the missing links. He then began to panic as he didn't remember them leaving, and in the midst of his panic, these giant gray monsters came from the pentagon in his chest, and began to make loud snarling noises as they began to eat the metal. With a scream of pain and confusion, he fell to the ground as they ate away at the metal, creating a large hole in his chest. He yelled and he yelled and he yelled, waiting, hoping for help, but he was slowly loosing conscience, and he was loosing control over his body...
But as soon as it begun...
It was over.
Hollow Life
A mindless beast is exactly what Yokkyu was, and is what he was destined to become, a mindless beast that fed on the souls of the innocent. There he was, in the town he was once living in, having no control or recollection of what or who he was, all he knew was that he was hungry, so with a giant, horrifying sickening and saddening cry, he ran at the village, on all fours as he started to literally eat the humans whole, picking them up, swooping them into his mouth, devouring them completely. With each person he ate, he felt closer to being complete, but the hunger never stopped - he continued and he continued, with complete and total disregard for everything in his way. With loud cries, he busted down houses, grabbing humans and swallowing them. He ate those he once knew, he ate children, he ate mothers, he ate fathers and he ate guards. Nothing would stop him, there was nobody anywhere to oppose him.
This continued for a few years, as he continued to devour souls from village to village, gaining more power, becoming better, stronger, faster and smarter. Though one day as he continued to eat humans, gaining new power, he felt a tingling in his stomach, and felt as if a hole was nearly filled within his being, but his feeling was quickly disregarded as a sword slashed down his back, causing a giant fissure to appear,cutting him deeply. With a great cry, he turned around, and without a seconds thought, out of pure instinct, he ran at the person that had slashed him, who was in black and white robes, holding a rather large sword. With an out stretched hand, he reached for the Shinigami, and attempted to grab him, only to get his last two fingers chopped off, which obviously brought pain to the hollow, and he ran at the Shinigami, using his full power, and swiped the Shinigami up in his mouth, swallowing it. It was by far the best tasting thing he has ever had... though as soon as he swallowed, he felt a hole fill inside of him, and he watched as many others hollows gathered together, and began to form a giant beast, who merged into one being.
He was transformed... He was now the menos... He was the gillian...
And using his new found abilities, he quickly discovered that he can rip holes in reality, and use them to travel to a giant dark forest. And in that forest were many many more hollows which he began to strongly crave, and attack. He attacked the hollows that looked like him, as well as the tiny hollows that got in his way. He consumed each of the hollows that he came across, constantly gaining power, not caring a single bit for those that he consumed. He continued, using his new ability that he found he could use, which by instinct he knew was called a Cero, which shot a giant beam of reiatsu from his mouth, partially killing each hollow. With them downed because of the Cero, Yokkyu would quickly swoop down and eat the souls of each hollow that it hit, devouring them completely, gaining immense power, power he never thought was possible. He continued to do this for years on end, feeling what he felt before his last transformation...until one day...
Lions, Tigers and Bears! Oh my!
And he opened his eyes once more, in the dark forest, much lower than he was before, but he knew he was much more powerful. He knew it with all his heart, that even if he were smaller, he was much more powerful. Instinct... Adjuchas... Yokkyu knew what he was, and knew what he had to do to continue. And he ran through the forest, fighting, eating and killing every hollow that he could, gaining scars that left marks on his armor, breaking pieces of his being off but never loosing, and he continued to feed, until he was ready to go above this dark forest. He fed, and fed, and he fed, killing, eating, consuming, devouring each soul he came into contact with. And one day, he closed his eyes and ran up a tree, and continued to run until he reached the top, which he then blasted a cero at, breaking a ceiling, and jumping through it, appearing in a desert where there was no light aside from moonlight. He sensed around him countless groups of other Adjuchas, to which he only smiled and ran towards.
He slaughtered them, for the hell of it,tearing them to pieces, ripping them to shreds, consuming the aftermath as if it were nothing but mere child's play.He gained power much quicker now that he was killing other adjuchas, and he continued this process for countless years, possibly 200 years. Until one day, he finally reached the next and final stage... Which was much different than his current form...
The lion stood... and pieces fell...
He stood in his new form, which was slightly more humanoid, and looked around him. His power was now immense, but i could be more, and he wouldnt stop. He heard rumors about removing your mask could result in a new transformation, and not wanting to chance it, he began to train, devouring adjuchas, and even vasto lorde, gaining unimaginable power for a mere hollow. He continued this process for not nearly as long, possibly about a month before he would attempt to undergo this new transformation. And using his new found ability named a sonido, he appeared many hundred feet away from his current location, to a secluded area where he reached his giant hands to his mask, and began to pull with all his strength. He began to make a loud hollow cry as he made grunting noises as he pulled and he pulled, for minute after minute until a loud boom took place and his mask plopped off.
He watched it fall to the ground, and watched as other parts of his hollow-self fell to the ground, which shortly after dispersed into blue particles, which then formed a sword for the new... the improved... Arrancar! With his new found abilities, he quickly tore open a Garganta and headed to the World of the Living, appearing in a large city. He walked through the city, slashing down humans, and using a new move called a Gonzui to devour hundreds of human souls in one inhale, but was quickly caught by a Shinigami Captain, who didn't even introduce himself and went straight for a surprise attack, slashing Yokkyu's back, making a large gash, spilling blood many places. Yokkyu quickly turned, but a thick finger was already pointed at his head, and without a seconds thought, the word"Byakurai" was heard, and Yokkyu fell to the ground, and a blade impaled in his stomach.
His body dispersed into his old human spirit, and he was led to Soul Society be a Black Butterfly.
The tables have turned...
Yokkyu appeared in an unknown land, confused as of who he was, or what he was. He asked around only to get made fun of, but one person, a person called a Shinigami told him he was in a place called Rukongai, and they felt him exerting immense amounts of reiatsu and led him to the shinigami academy. He had no idea what that was, but it was interesting to him. He followed many different signs and many different corridors until he found the General Admissions office, where he signed up for the Soul Reaper Academy, with the promise of one day being an honored Shinigami! He was, however, promised that this would be no easy task - completing the academy and all. It required ones utmost dedication to learning the arts of a Shinigami, which many surprisingly do not have. Yokkyu was of course undaunted by this fact and decided to continue on with the registration, knowing good and well exactly what lay before him. He was told he could spend up to ten years in this place, depending on how he progressed in comparison to the others. To his relief, the real work wasn't beginning any time soon, it was more or less simple classes, teaching the students exactly what the Shinigami's main enemy was... the hollows...
These were mindless creatures who were unfortunately never saved by the Zanpakutou of an honored Shinigami, Yokkyu learned. He had felt some connection to the beasts, as though he had seen them before, and as if he understood them more than most others... but it was just a feeling. The lessons in hollows continued, teaching the students the different types of hollows, and also telling them that their powers vary. Supposedly there were 4 classes of hollows - the normal hollows which usually plagued the Realm of the Living. Next up in the latter of power were the Menos Class Gillian, which resided in another dimension known as Hueco Mundo, the realm of the hollows. If a hollow were to somehow gain individuality, they would be able to consciencelessly continue up through the ranks, devouring their own kind to gain power. Yokkyu learned that they only had ONE chanc, and if they messed up, they'd revert to mindless beasts and be forced into a state of subconscience. If they however made it, they'd gain a more humanoid form and become known as an Adjuchas. Adjuchas were about Vice-Captain power, and were not something to take lightly. If the Adjuchas was born to become the next class, then they would indeed become the next class. Regardless, an Adjuchas must always feed on hollows, else they'll return to a mindless Menos. If they made it, they'd become known as a formidiable Vasto Lorde - a form of hollow that most resembles a humanoid figure, and possibly beyond Captain-Class.
Those studies took up two years of Yokkyu's time at the academy, and next began the real training. He would be presented with an ordinary sword and would learn the art of Zanjutsu - the art of weilding a sword. This sword would become his zanpakutou, a being that he had yet to connect with. He continued his studies and training sessions with the sword, entering the Academy tournaments from time to time, usually ending up in second or third among the entire Academy, due to his skills with he blade. Soon after the studies with the blade were complete, he began with the art of Hoho, which would later develop into shunpo - a shinigami's fast-movement. All shinigami must be able to perform the simplest variation of Hoho: Shunpo before they could graduate. Most students, Yokkyu included, got the hang of this pretty quickly. And Yokkyu, like the blade, was very proficient with it, however, this time, not anywhere near the best. He decided his shunpo needed a lot of work. After the studies of Hoho were complete, the studies in the Demon Art: Kido began. This was a Shinigami's main magical weapon aside from their zanakutou. They could perform a multitude of things with Kido - from making a simple light to aid you in your travels to summoning six rods of bright light to completely immobilize your opponent. All the academy students needed to do for now was to perform Bakudo 1: Sai, and Hado 1: Sho and they would make it out fine. Yokkyu, like the others, performed Kido to a satisfactory level.
The final test of the Academy was to send him far off from the protection with the Academy, and allow them to demonstrate their skills they have learned within the Academy. No leader was chosen among the group, but they would have to fend off the weakling hollows that had managed to enter the Soul Society. This is usually where Shinigami acheived their Shikai, and where the Academy would decide to place them. Cast out of the acadmemy a week after the notice of the final test, the Academy students were confident, save for a few who believed they would be at the mercy of a mindless hollow. Yokkyu was placed with a squadron of 5 other Shinigami. He quickly decided it was his duty to lead them, and grabbed their attention with a flick of his sword. He demanded they follow under him for the time being, and that they act as a stealth unit instead of one unit of brute strength, where they would be wide open. With that in mind, the academy students quickly agreed and listened to Yokkyu's orders each time a hollow neared. With particularly quick flash steps, Yokkyu and his squadron quickly decimated any hollow that came near them. However, the next challenge wasnt so easy. A group of 3 hollows had appeared and began to prove too much for the little Squadron. Yokkyu like the rest of his team were thrown about, and clawed at by the beass, until Yokkyu uttered some strange sentence, and his blade transformed to that of a whip with six snake heads. He had done it without realizing it - he had done it in a moment of great need - he had called upon his shikai. The six snake heads danced and bobbed wildly at they were flicked to and fro, , tearing the hollows to bits and pieces.
The squadron retreated back to the academy to report their progress, as well as end their test. They were all praised on their effort, especially Yokkyu which was the only one to acheive Shikai in his Squad. They all, however were placed within the Squad 2 barracks, as Yokkyu's leadership had shown their talent in stealth. Yokkyu however learned quickly that his zanpakutou hadnt returned to its sealed state, and felt as though he should find out why. He meditated for a long while, until he entered a dark domain with a coiled black python waiting for him, in striking position. After questioning it, he learned his zanakutou was a very cold and evil being who refused to be sealed where she could not taste the blood of battle. With his answer given to him, the spirit forced him out of her domain... and Yokkyu returned to his training in Squad 2, working much on his Kido and Flash Steps, as well as learning and mastering two techniques his Shikai offered him.
Training training training
Yokkyu trained for countless years, gaining new power, surpassing his Lieutenant and being presented with the Vice Captain position under the Captaincy of a particularly interesting man. With a favored position and much respect, Yokkyu continued his training and continued to serve in the Onmitsukido as the Head of the Patrol Corps. His shunpo quickly rose in speed and the distances it covered became larger. Yokkyu had decided to train mainly in the art of Bakudo as he realized he would need more Bakudo than he would Hado. He and his Captain controled the Division nearly perfectly until one day, his Captain disappeared... under restricted-to-know circumstances... Yokkyu was left as the Vice Captain of his Squad.Present Day
Yokkyu, who promptly served the Second Division for many years, was given the rank of Captain a few weeks after the strange disappearance of his former Captain. He paid no heed, as he knew it didnt concern him. With now being the Captain of the division and the Commander in Cheif of the Onmitsukido, he soon learned that his 150 years of training both in Kido (mainly Bakudo, but in Hado as well), and shunpo has really paid off. Yokkyu has to this day continued to serve his Division, gaining power of course. He is a highly respected Captain, with great power and vast insight. He commands the Onmitsukido happily, and leads his Squad to greatness, following any order he gets without hesitation, as it is his duty to serve and protect in what ever way an Assassin can.
