Trial of Fire

This page is from my information file holding the character biographies of the kids. I thought I would add it for the fun and for anyone interested.

Kurosaki Pantera Kinomi
Panther Berry
Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Parents: Kuchiki Rukia & Kurosaki Ichigo
Zenpakuto: Kyattsuai (cat’s eye) Resurrection: Kishire, Pantera
Division: 4th seat of the 11th Location: Las Tardes

Appearance:

She has Ichigo's and eyes and her mothers hair. Her features are slightly less sharp then her fathers.

Her uniform is sleeveless and she wears a white cloak over it. On the back of the cloak is a circle of 11 blue yarrow flowers, the division seal, surrounding the kanji for 4. She had two small braids from her bangs, one with Kenpachi's bell and the other with the blue and white feathers from Yumichika and Ikkaku

Her sash is also blue and holds the kanji for 11, Pantera, and the yarrow flower on one of the ends. The kanji are black

Like her father she has a strong sense of wanting to be strong as she sees it her duty as eldest to protect the others and is constantly wrestling with Taka to prove which one of them is stronger. She loves her Otooji, Grimmjow, and loves training in all manner of fighting. She has a minimal amount if interaction with the Kuchiki household and follows her fathers lead in being un-formal with them.

During their visits to Soul Society when she was younger she would rush right to the 11th division, after doing her family duty at the Kuchiki manor, to meet up with Taka and Yachiru where they would ‘play’ with the unseated members, something Kenpachi found highly amusing and encouraged, somewhat adopting the girls into his division. Both Taka and Kinomi want to join the 11th when they are old enough as only the strongest Shinigami go there.

Surprisingly Kinomi is very close to her aunty Yuzu and loves spending time with her learning how to cook and appears to be rather good at it. She also loves Tatsuki-sensei and her and her brother spent time with her once a week learning martial, something she will grudgingly admit her brother is slightly better at her in.

Like Taka and her brother she has no fear of Grimmjow, calling him Grimm-ji, what so ever, unlike the other children who are weary around him, uncomfortable with his violent reiatsu. She actively seeks approval from both Grimmjow, and later Kenpachi.

Kinomi is also very rare in the fact that she claims to have talked to her name sake several times when she was younger, something both Grimmjow and Rukia attributed to merely the over active dreams of a child.

Abilities:
Shunpo
Moderately high level Martial arts
Proficient in Zanjutsu, Hoho and Hakuda
Terrible at Kidou
Double Zenpakuto merge

Kyattsuai:
The spirit of Kyattsuai appears like a normal sized white panther with green-blue eyes.

Sealed:
In her sealed state, Kyattuai appears as a simple katana with a green hilt and silver blade. The cross guard is shaped like a black, cat’s eye.

Shikai: Hitonomi, Kyattuai (Bite, Kyattuai)

In her Shikai state she retains her green hilt, but her blade turns pure white. The eye on the cross guard goes from black to green:

Toranekosuto: (wildcat strike). Three slashes of green energy that fly from the blade
Heightened sense of sight, letting her see thing more sharper then usual. This lets her see how the muscles of her opponent move, forewarning her of strikes and giving her a slight edge. This does not let her predict what move an opponent is going to use, but rather that they are preparing to move.

Bankai: Shirohyou Kyattsuai (white panther cats eye)

In Kyattsuai’s bankai form the blade doesn’t change overly much other then becoming more curved at the tip and gaining a blue ribbon much like her mother and father’s Shikai forms.

Kinomi’s robes are replaced by a pure white, tight fitting outfit. Her eyes become a blue-green and are cat like in appearance. She also grows white cat shaped ears similar to her otouji’s and her hair grows long and turns white, but all other features remain human. In this form even Leon and Zan have a hard time keeping up to her with their Sonpo.

Abilities:
Sight and sound are strongly heightened
Agility and speed double
Strength doubles
Able to fire her Toranekosuro as a double strike instead of single.

Resurrection:
Kinomi’s resurrection is very unique in that she requires someone else’s Zanpakuto to pull it off. Using her namesake, Pantera, she gains a form that is almost the spitting image of her otooji‘s, Grimmjow’s. The only difference is she does not gain a hole nor the blades on her arms and legs. Her hair and markings also remain black and instead of armor she had fur. She can use all of Grimmjow’s abilities and even use her Bankai, brining her power levels high enough to challenge Yamamoto Full release.

When using her Bankai while in her resurrection her hair and features turn white and her eyes become blue-green and cat like, but otherwise she remains a copy of Grimmjow. Due to the shear amount of power while holding the duel tech’s, Kinomi suffer physical damage and can not hold onto it for longer then 14 seconds. Also, using them both completely drains her of her reiatsu and after the 14 seconds are up she is completely out of reiatsu and losses consciousness.


Abilities:
Agility, Strength and Speed are extremely heightened
Sonpo: She can only access this ability while in her resurrection.
Gran Rey Cero: In her released form she can freely use the Espada level cero.
Hierro: In her released form her Hierro is as strong as an Espada’s.
Bala: In her released form she can freely use the Espada level Bala.




Kyuusoku Galgo
Resting Hound
Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Parents: Unohana Retsu & Stark
Hollow feature: none apparent
Zenpakuto: Garou (hungry wolf)
Division: 13th Location: Los Dias

Appearance:

He is the spiting image of a younger version of his father. His uniform is very plain with the ends of his sash short like Ukitake's.


Twin brother to Taka, he is completely her opposite and just like his father, preferring to sleep, doze, eat, doze, repeat. He is close to his father, the two of them spending hours dozing in various beams of sunlight. They can often be found around Kyoraku Shunsui, as he knows all the good spots to hide and sleep, much to Nano’s annoyance.

Galgo does not hold back when he is training however and will go full out. Like most of the other HMK’s he is hiding his true abilities from outsiders. Much like his father once his interest has been picked and he is riled up he can be a formable foe.


Abilites:
Shingimai powers only
Basic level Shunpo
Basic Zanjutsu, Hoho, Hakuda, and Kidou
Ambidextrous

Garou:

Sealed: In his sealed state Garou appears as nothing more then a simple katana with a brown hilt and plain old cross guard.

Shikai: Hamukau, Garou (bite back, Garou)

In the Shikai state Garou changes from a simple Katana to a blade shaped like a wolfs fang with blood dripping down it. The blood itself is like an acid that can burn through almost anything. Galgo is immune to the effects of his own acid.

Bankai: Sameru Garou (woken up hungry wolf)

In its bankai form Garou reappears as a large brown wolf in full, white armor with a saddle for Galgo to ride. Red acid drips down from his fangs and his eyes are a glowing red. Mounted on his shoulders are blades that Galgo can draw to fight with. The blades appear exactly like his sealed form, simple, brown katanas. Both Galgo and Sameru Garou are immune to the acid.



Volatil Taka
Flying Falcon

Hair: Black Eyes: Blue Parents: Unohana Retsu & Stark
Hollow feature: A necklace around her neck with the centre appearing like the head of a falcon with wings sprouting out either side to form the rest of the necklace, stopping just behind her neck.
Resurrection: Volar, halcón
Division: 3rd seat of the 11th Location: Las Tardes

Appearance:

Taka has her mothers face and eyes with her fathers hair, but black. Her mask fragments look like the head of a falcon with the wings spread out to either side going around her neck like a necklace.

Her uniform is sleeveless and she wears a white cloak over it. On the back of the cloak is a circle of 11 brown yarrow flowers, the division seal, surrounding the kanji for 3. She had two small braids, one with Kenpachi's bell and the other with the molten brown feathers from Yumichika and Ikkaku

She wears a brown sash the holds the kanji for 11, Taka, and the yarrow flower on one of the ends. The kanji are black.

Taka is the younger twin to Galgo and has a competitive streak no one is quite sure where she got it from as both parents and siblings are completely laid back. She has an on going rivalry with Kinomi to be the strongest.

Unlike the others she was born with full hollow features, including a set of molted brown wings and tail that mysteriously disappeared around when she was two, as well as suffering a drop in her reiatsu.

She became quick friends with Yachiru and enjoys hanging out with her and Kenpachi at the 11th, where she can be frequently found. It was not uncommon to see her hanging off of his other shoulder when she was younger and unlike Yachiru has a good sense of direction.

She is protective of the 4th division as it is her mothers and their have been surprising less problems from the 11th there now. She also had no Shinigami powers, only hollow.


Resurrection:

Taka is unique like her father in that she doesn’t have a Zenpakuto. Instead Azucena is her sealed power and the two of them merge to become one. When this happens Taka returns to her original birth form, regaining her lost wings and tail. In addition her hair becomes feathers and she gains a pair of feathered ears, though the braid with her bell seems to remain. She also retains Azucena’s eye piece. Her eye sight is also highly sharpened, far more then Kinomi’s and her speed increases slightly. She is still able to communicate with Azucena as well, but the shy girl generally remains silent in combat so as not to distract Taka. In this form Taka is able to fly freely and gains several abilities:

Acero Pluma: (steel feather) Her wings shoot bolts of feathers that can slice through the thickest Hierro.
Aguila Ojo: (Eagle eye). This ability lets her set a specific target and she will know exactly where that target is at all times. Only one target can be selected for this ability at a time.
Gran Rey Cero: In her released form she can freely use the Espada level cero.
Hierro: In her released form her Hierro is as strong as an Espada’s.




Aizen/Kotetsu Akataiyou
Red Sun

Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Parents: Kotetsu Isane & Aizen Sosuke
Zenpakuto: Sakkaku (illisions) Location: Los Vida

Appearance:

Akata is the spitting image of a younger version of his father while he was still a taichou, without the glasses. He often wears a lab coat over his uniform as most members of the 12th do.

Akata, as he is known for short, is a quite boy who prefers to play quietly with Reina, and later Barbo. He enjoys reading and studying and follows his mother everywhere around the 4th, learning everything his little mind can soak up. He is good friends with his sister, Gintsuki, and enjoys teaching her new things

Upon arriving in soul society it was determined it would be better for his fathers family name to be dropped to prevent resentment and he was giving his mothers instead. As his father had little to do with him Akata didn’t seem to mind the change.

He is extremely formal to everyone and prefers to spend time studying rather then fighting. If he isn’t at the 4th or the library he can be found at the 12th, usually with Nemu and occasionally with Mayuri. Akata isn’t a fighter and supports the group from the back ground much like Urahara does. He is extremely, silently, loyal to Kinomi.

Abilities:
Shunpo, average level
Highly proficient in Kidou
Average Zanjutsu, Hoho and Hakuda
Highly intelligent

Sakkaku:

Sealed:
Sakkaku in unique in that he appears like a small dagger worn on Akata’s belt with a black hilt. The sheath is black with a strange display of gold inlays.

Shikai: Saimin, Sakkaku (Hypnotism, Sakkaku)

Sakkaku doesn’t change in shape or form, but the blade will let out a flash when drawn from the sheath.

Saimin: This ability lets Akata completely hypnotize one person to become a puppet to his will for as long as the blade remains drawn and the person remains within two hundred feet. Any pain, such as a slap to the face, sheathing the blade, or going out of range will break the spell. The person hypnotized does not retain any memory of being so.

Bankai: Shinnyo Sakkaku (absolute reality illusion)

This ability uses Sakkaku to create a complete copy of anything, including an individual, right down to the last little finger print, including all of that persons abilities and is completely solid. The range is one thousand yards and the target may not even know he or she has been copied. The creation is under the complete control of Akata with no mind or free will of its own.

If the copy exceeds 1,000 yards or Sakkaku is sheathed it instantly disappears. Like wise any damage that would destroy the copied item or kill the person breaks the illusion. The item or person being copied can be destroyed/killed with no effect to Sakkaku.

Akata used this ability in the background of the story to impersonate the Sotaichou to get his way with things as well as infiltrating central 46 and the 12th.


Reina Ruizenban
Queen

Hair: Ginger Eyes: Blue Parents: Matsumoto Rengiku & Barragan Ruizenban
Hollow Feature: A tiara of bone upon her brow.
Zenpakuto: Tenkou (queen of heaven)
Resurrection: Celestial Anomestar, Tenkou (Celestial recall, Tenkou)
Division: 8th Location: Los Vida

Appearance:

Reina had the more severe face of her father, but with her mothers eyes and hair. She is NOT well endowed like her mother but does have pink scarf wrapped loosely around her neck and wears a ring giving to her by Barbo.


Reina acts just like the way a noble daughter should, complete with polite responses, full affix’s and a noble bearing. Despite that she is not condescending to the others, even if she sees the only person above her is her father, this included seeing him as a higher rank then Aizen, and Kuchiki-sama.

She is well aware of her lordship over Ggio, but doesn’t use it over him, instead treating him as a valued retainer and on occasion even asking for his advice on maters she had little knowledge on instead of pretending to know everything like most nobles would.

She has very little relationship with her mother, accepting Rengiku as the current leader of the household but not exactly showing much interest in her or her half brother Leon. She will do as Rengiku asks and does call her mother in the most honorific way.

She finds Taka and Kinomi’s rivalry as trivial, but highly amusing. She seems to be highly adapt at politics with a large understanding of how Noble houses work and think.

She shows little interest in learning how to fight, but as they get older she completely understands the need to learn how to control her reiatsu, and agrees to enter training without even a moments hesitation. She also accompanies Barbo in his clan lessons with Byakuya, who seems not to mind her addition and treats her as he does his son.

She is the only one not only able to achieve Bankai, but to have a resurrection as well and able maintain both at the same time. She can only use her Shinigami powers when in her normal form and only Hollow powers while released with the exception of her Bankai and all of its abilities.


Abilities:
Shunpo and Sonido, average level
Average Zanjutsu, Hoho, Kido and Hakuda
Sharp mind when it comes to politics

Tenkou:

Sealed:
Tenkou has a red hilt and a long, curved silver blade. The guard is shaped like back to back golden crowns. The sheath is also a crimson red.

Shikai: Warihane, Tenkou (split feather)

Tenkou herself doesn’t change much other then her guard goes from crowns to wings and her blade turns an even sharper silver and is able to cut through anything, even Zan’s Hierro.

Bankai: Jikuu Tenkou (time-space feather)

Tenkou extends to become a Glaive and the wings grow much larger and deadly sharp, giving it a pitch fork like appearance. She can still cut through anything, including subspace and the strongest dimensional barriers. It is untested but it is presumed she could probably use this ability to create a garganta

Heki Tengai: (pierce beyond heaven) This ability causes silver bolts to fly from the wings and blade tip, slicing up anything in its path as if it had been struck by the blades. This ability is on a recharge timer however and can only be used once every five minutes.

Resurrection: Celestial Anomestar Tenkou

Not much changes about Reina’s other then sprouting pure, white wings and her outfit changing to a red, flowing gown. She retains Tenkou but can not resurrect while her blade is active. She must resurrect and then go to bankai. It is not clear as to why this is but Akata figures it is because the blade can not channel both powers at once, even if the person can.

Abilities:
Flight: her wings give her full range of flight and greatly increases her speed
Heirro: Average Espada level Heirro
Gran Rey Cero: Espada level Cero.
Sonido: She is only able to use Sonido while released.
Regresar: (return) This ability works similar to Orihime’s rejection in that it can undo something done in the last five minutes, including death, basically reversing or turning back time. This ability can be used to heal allies or redo healed damage to an opponent as well as reversing any other event that has occurred. Doing this takes a large amount of reiatsu.



Kuchiki Barbo Halibel
Catfish

Hair: Black Eyes: Green Parents: Tia Halibel & Kuchiki Byakuya
Hollow Features: It follows his collar bone and forms a T with another piece that runs down to his belly button.
Zanpakuto: Namazu
Division: 8th Location: Los Vida

Appearance:

Barbo is clearly a Kuchiki with all of his fathers features, but with his mothers green eyes. He wears his uniform the same way as his father.


Barbo didn’t have much interaction with his father until after their rescue, however he quickly adjusted and seems to resemble his father in attitude very closely. He gets along great with Reina, both of them having the same noble attitude, and doesn’t mind Akata.

He can’t stand Taka and Kinomi, finding them to be rather crude and tries to avoid having contact with them, even if he can’t avoid Kinomi as much as he would like seeing how she is his cousin.

He has no problems training with his father, understanding the need to grow strong to defend himself and to one day take over the estate, whether the rest of the clan likes it or not. He agreed to let them choose his future wife for him as a concession to letting a ‘hollow half breed’ rule one of the strongest clans. Despite having mask fragments he has no hollow powers.

Abilities:
Shunpo, just below Zan and Leon
Average level Zanjutsu, Hoho, Kido and Hakuda
Sharp Minded, Politics

Namazu:
Sealed: In its sealed state Namazu looks like a normal katana with a navy blue handle. The cross guard is also blue.

Shikai:

Release phrase: Tobikomi, Namazu (Dive)
In its Shikai state Namazu doesn’t change much other than the cross guard that turns into twin catfish and the etching of a catfish appears on either side of the blade. Likewise he can fire of jets of water in the shape of his namesake.

Issui: (a jet of water) A jet of water launched from Namazu in the shape of a large cat fish. The more water in the area, the larger the attack.

Bankai: Ginkiri Namazu (silver mist catfish)

In its Bankai form Namazu dispersed into a thick mist that Barbo has full control over. The droplets of water can act like sharp blades or a solid object. The more water about, the more power he has. This ability is similar to both his mothers ability to control water and his father senbonsakura, only with water instead of sakura petals.
