Character Info

Appearance: Tenjinsai is your average looking young man. He stands at five foot eleven (5'11) and weighs one hundred and eighty three pounds (183 Lbs). He has short brown hair that comes down around his head at about cheek length. His bangs stretch down in front of his face to the left and right of his eyes as well as a single grouping of hair that comes down over the bridge of his nose and swirls to the left. His eyes are a light brown, just a slightly lighter shade then his hair and are hawk-like in shape as well. He has somewhat thick upturned eyebrows that give him a fierce facial expression. His face is clean shaven and completely unblemished as opposed to the rest of his body. Moving down from his face his body is well defined and muscular while not being overly buff. He has what would be called an athletic physique giving him a strong and healthy appearance. Along his chest, back, and arms he has many scars that span the length of his body from abuse he suffered during his youth. Beyond that he wears the standard uniform for an academy student and eventually the shihakushou of the shinigami once he graduates the academy.


Personality: Tenjinsai has a great similarity in personality to his father, Tenkai. While there are some key differences due to the difference in age and experience, their opinions and outlook on the world is pretty much the same. He is a kind individual and rather selfless to a flaw being more then willing to sacrifice something of his own to help someone else. Along with that he also carries a great sense of moral justice enforcing the laws based upon what he sees as right and wrong. He also has the ability to see things in shades of gray so as to not be overly absolute in his views of right and wrong. However, despite being as kind and compassionate as he is, Tenjinsai is not very open with others. While he is capable of helping them and speaking about others issues he has a very hard time letting others in. Due to his upbringing he has a hard time actually making friends and is even estranged from his family. His greatest flaw would be the same that his father has, a short wick to light his anger. It takes a long time to actually catch, but when it does, his temper becomes explosive and his actions violent.

History: Tenjinsai was born in the year eighteen eighty four (1884) to his father Tenkai Bushinji and mother Retsu 'Yachiru' Unohana. His life started as a tragic one immediately upon his birth. During childbirth his mother passed away due to the stress of labor. It was due to this single fact that the rest of his life would be full of turmoil and tribulation. Due to the loss of his mother during birth his father found it hard to speak or even look at Tenjinsai. He was treated with disdain in the household by his father. Even his older siblings had a hard time being around him since he was the direct cause of their mothers death. He had earned the disdain of his family from something he had no control over. At the age of nineteen he was forced to leave the household by his father and was told to never return. Though he did not wish to he had no other choice as his father was the head of the clan and the others would back his orders. Taking up what belongings he had the boy left the household of a noble family and went to wander the rukongai to try and build a life for himself.

He suffered for many years being unaware of how the world worked outside of his household. He lived by stealing what supplies he needed and staying in dilapidated shacks day by day. As time went on he found himself constantly fighting to keep living against the various bandits, thugs, and robbers that would see him as easy prey. His body was battered and wounded but he would continue to live on with conviction. His life had been deemed unworthy from his birth by society but he would not bend to their will. He could never bring himself to hate the others not being able to know the pain he had put his family through. But he promised himself one day he would become a shinigami, and a great one at that just like his father. He wanted to prove to them that he could be something and that they could see him as something other then the murderer of their wife and mother. He wanted to redeem himself for something he should have never been blamed for. That was how Tenjinsai now found himself at the door of the shinigami academy prepared to redeem himself in the eyes of the world.


Zanpakutō Information

Zanpakutō Spirit Persona: Seijin Enma is exactly as his name reflects, a saintly demon. His ideals are very much so just and can sometimes be overly zealous. He sees in a very plain black and white and those that he sees as evil are unforgiveable. Despite his over zealous nature he does have a very kind, compassionate, and even bubbly demeanor especially when conversing with Tenjinsai. He sympathizes with him due to the boys upbringing and the tragic circumstances of his life. He is very protective towards him, his behavior boarding on obsessive at some times and is quick to anger if his master is threatened. He is always willing to lend Tenjinsai his strength to protect him or those he wishes to protect.

Inner World: Tenjinsai's inner world is that of a large estate that would belong to a wealthy family. It is a home that would be expected of one of the four great noble clans. The house is prestine and perfect, adorned with the finest furnishing, clothing, and foods. The home is though quite empty despite its vast amenities and space. It is a reflection of his youth as he was an outcast of a noble family and his home was always 'empty' for him.

Spirit Appearance: Seijin Enma appears as a massive demon that is cloaked in white flames. He stands at twenty five feet (25') and weighs eight hundred and twenty three pounds (823 Lbs). His skin is a dark beige, similar to that of a tan. He has long, blonde spiky hair with several streaks of red that run to the lower curve in his back. His eyes are a vibrant violet color, and he has a pair of small ring earrings in his left ear. Upon his head he is adorned with two horns that curve upwards and are each roughly two feet long. His other features are very much so humanoid having similar facial and body structure to that of a human. He wears a decorative white kosode with an open, red flowered kimono over it.

----------------------------------------------------

Name of Shikai: Seijin Enma (Saintly Devil)

Release Command: Kiyomeru (Cleanse)

Zanpakutō Element: Fire

Zanpakutō Type: Unclassified

----------------------------------------------------

Zanpakutō Appearance
&
Ability

Sealed Appearance: Looks like the typical zanpaktou. The handle is a snow white and the guard a simple circle. The sheath is a dark green with white obi ties. Length from pommel to guard, 14 Inches. Length of blade, 35 Inches. Total length, 49 Inches.

Shikai Appearance:  Seijin Enma upon release makes its blade lose its physical form. Everything from the guard down to the pommel remains in its original form but the blade itself is transformed into a massive flame. The length of the flame blade increases slightly as does the length of the handle. Length from pommel to guard, 16 Inches. Length of blade, 38 Inches. Total length, 54 Inches.

Shikai Ability- Honooita (Flame Eater): The flames themselves, if one comes into contact with them, can cause severe burns to an individual singeing their flesh. Absorbing the flames in the surrounding area caused by the zanpaktou, its abilities, or Tenjinsai's reiryoku itself, he can increase the power of his abilities and his attacks but can backfire if too much fire is absorbed causing him to instead damage himself instead of strengthen his attacks.

(The only flames themselves that are constant are the flames that envelop the zanpaktou, they will remain as long as the release is in effect. Tenjinsai's reiryoku is made into the blazing inferno as a result of the release but once his reserves are depleted so will the flames be. Ideally four posts of absorbing the surrounding flames with each additional absorb increasing the damage output of a used attack or technique. Going beyond that four post limit causes the built up flames to burst out causing burn damage to Tenjinsai instead and releasing the gathered flames. Seijin Enma can not directly absorb its own flames created by Tenjinsai's reiryoku but can absorb any type of fire based technique or ability used by an opponent or anything in the surrounding area that has caught fire (25 Meters).)

-Cooldown: 1 Post (3-4 Absorbs)

Shikai Secondary Ability- Enkouhara (Fire Field): Sending out a wave of flames (150 Meters) to the surrounding area it turns the battlefield into a blazing inferno. The intense flames that are now spread about the field serve to not only burn and harm the opponent if they stay within it for a prolonged amount of time but also enhance the strength of Tenjinsai's techniques and offensive abilities. The technique also quickly devours the oxygen in the effected area feeding the flames of Tenjinsai's shikai form and enhancing his abilities. The longer an opponent stays within the area the greater the effects of the oxygen deprivation until they eventually lose consciousness.

Bankai Name
&
Command (Optional)

Name of Bankai: Kagayakashii Seijin Enma (Glorious Saintly Demon)

Release Command (Optional): Just the typical BAN-KAI yell.


---------------------------------------------------

Bankai Appearance
&
Ability


Bankai Appearance: Manifesting itself in a much grander and daunting way, Seijin Enma's bankai is much more incredulous. Tenjinsai's reiatsu turns into a blazing inferno that slowly manifests itself into a giant devil like creature made of flame. In the midst of the devil the blazing inferno had become is Tenjinsai hovering amidst the beast controlling it and being protected by its flaming body. The creature itself stands at about one hundred feet and it wields two massive flame blades that are roughly seventy feet in length a piece. The flames are capable of erasing anything they touch out of existence as they possess the same heat as that of the sun. Due to this intense heat the use of the Bankai also causes all moisture in the atmosphere to evaporate with this effect extending for miles beyond the location of Tenjinsai the longer it is active. Over a significant period of time the effects of Seijin Enma's Bankai can be incredibly detrimental to the eco-structure of the Soul Society resulting in irreversible damage. This intense heat also tends to cripple the abilities of those who wield Water or Ice type zanpaktou resulting sometimes in the loss of even their releases and abilities.

Bankai Ability- Honooita (Flame Eater): Identical to the shikai ability but with increased absorbing limits exponentially increasing the potential power of his abilities beyond shikai. The flames from the blade itself become even hotter that it is almost unbearable to be around them without risking injury. They are by far some of the hottest flames to ever be created and have incredible destructive power.

(As with the shikai ability being four posts, the use of bankai increases the limit to eight posts before the gathered flames will erupt damaging Tenjinsai. The range of absorption also increases from 25 meters to 50 meters. With the increase of post limit allowing an exponential growth to potential strength it similarly increases the danger and damage of over absorbing and harming himself exponentially further as well.)

Cooldown: 
-1 Post (4-5 Absorbs)
-2 Posts (6-7 Absorbs)
-3 Posts (8 Absorbs)

Bankai Secondary Ability- Enkouhara (Fire Field): When in Bankai, Seijin Enma's fire field effect intensifies and increases its range of effect (250 Meters). Though the raging flames of his shikai can no longer be seen, the condensed flames around his body burn exponentially hotter increasing the rate of oxygen deprivation and further increasing the strength of his natural abilities and techniques.

#3 Shikai 
Name - Kizuato No Hono (Scarring Blaze)
Class: Offensive
Attributes: Attack, Spiritual
'The wild flames that make up the blade condense and gather more so along the edge of where the blade would be. Once prepared, when the zanpaktou is swung a rippling wave of flames is propelled from the blade in the direction it is aimed. The wave itself is composed of flames which will burn anything they touch but will also erupt into a fiery explosion when they make solid contact with another being or object. The burns caused by the flames and explosion  cause wounds to heal much slower even with healing kidou as well as damage the nerves in those areas in question making them difficult to use further in combat. If used when Nenshou Dageki and/or Sugikasho are active damage is significantly increased.'

Then, swinging the blade downwards with great force into the ground a large fissure opens up stretching for a maximum of fifteen meters. From out of the fissure flames erupt up burning and greatly harming any that are caught in its wake or in the general vicinity of the technique. The flames shoot up fifty meters and have an immediate range of thirty five meters in either direction that the flames will have maximum effect and spread outwards from there.

#3 Bankai
Name - Seishin-Tekina Honshitsu - Shin no Katachi: Chōshinsei (Spiritual Essence - True Form: Supernova)
Class: Offensive
Attributes: Attack, Augmentation, Instant
'This is the ultimate technique in Tenjinsai's arsenal. The massive flaming body that Tenjinsai controls condenses itself down, while also absorbing all of the flames in the surrounding area (150 Meters), to a controlled blaze around his body. It essentially super condenses all of the flames to massively increase Tenjinsai's fighting potential to immense levels. It also increases the density and intensity of the flames making a single wound easily cause third degree burns on the opponent or perhaps even incinerate the wounded area. However, due to the immense power this form affords him he can only maintain it for a short period of time before he is forced to revert into his shikai form. For the duration of the battle his bankai form will be unusable from the extreme exertion.'
