Jushiro Izanagi (Vizard Rebirth)

Posts : 33 Points : 130 Join date : 2009-04-05

Name: Jushiro Izanagi

[b]Ex Division: 10th-Juubantai

Age: 792

Visual Age: 23

Appearance: Izanagi is 6’3 and his muscular built which shows that he can be a very physical person too. His body looks rather enduring in its build and very suitable for a fighter of his type. His eyes are crimson red and will look quite cold and demonic at times without him having to put much effort into it. His stare some times is known to send a chill down someone's spine even if he didn't intend to do so. Izanagi's body is built for physically dominating his opponents with both strength and speed. He has long white spiky hair which causes him to look rather wild, almost as if his hair was a lion's mane in its own unique way. He wears a black sleeveless kimono and a red and black overcoat with a couple of interesting designs on them. On his hands are a pair of black fingerless gloves that stretches above his wrist, which sit comfortable on his hands. His pants are also black with two eastern type dragon carefully wrapped around both legs. Izanagi's whole appearance is still Shinigami like and in this case his Red and Black overcoat would be his Captain's Haori in a sense. Izanagi can be seen at times wearing his Zanapakuto strapped across his back and at other times, it may be strapped diagonally across his lower back. There are also other instances where his Zanapakutos may even be at his side strapped on his belt.

Gender: Male

Personality: To put it bluntly Izanagi can be considered a two face which often causes others to be wary of him. His whole personality which is often accompanied by other actions, tend to bring an air of uneasiness around others. He can often be seen with a smile or a smirk form on his face, which at times may turn into a fox grin so to speak. Even with all these quirks Izanagi is still one of the most intelligent Shinigami to have ever been within the Gotei 13 squads. He can be quite manipulative at times, the type of person that doesn't seem to take anything too seriously. With Izanagi in the picture even a grim situation can turn out to be something to joke. Or to even make a witty remark about as long as he is breathing. At times others may find it difficult to know what he’s even thinking. Since he may say one thing and then do something else. There is also uncertainty when it comes to his sincerity , his calculative and perceptive persona makes him a force to be reckoned with. Being a two face as they say Izanagi may at times find himself to be rather moody. An at other times demonstrating traits of someone with a warm heart. Izanagi can sometimes be a sort of recluse, opting to do things in private rather than out in the open.

History: Unlike the stories of other Shinigami or some of the inhabitants of Soul Society, Izanagi doesn't remember living a life as a human. And so telling a tale of his life as a human would be impossible, the man is a pure blood Shinigami so to speak. Untainted by the soul burial technique administered by other Shinigami’s for the departed souls. Growing up in Rukongai Izanagi had always wanted to join the Gotei 13. His ambitions began with the demonstration of power that the previous Shinigami of the Gotei 13 showed him. Ever so often a squad of Shinigami would come to save the day and exterminate hollows and other low lives. Izanagi desired the power to do so himself and so he began doing every and everything that he could to be a Shinigami. His journey like most didn’t start with his introduction into the Shinigami Academy. Instead it began with his time spent in Rukongai learning a few things from a man known to him as the hermit. The man was a swordsman that possessed strange abilities, someone Izanagi suspected to be a former Shinigami. The problem is that Izanagi didn't have any real proof connecting the man to the Shinigami other than a sword. Izanagi started off by training his body first and foremost, he needed discipline also if he was to succeed on his mission. The would be Shinigami desired the blade but sadly began his life as a swordsman with a Bokken. Learning the different ways in which to wield the sword or Bokken so to speak. An important lesson was to taught and would be learned in due time. Rukongai was a harsh place to live in, a place where the lives of others doesn't seem to mean anything. Souls from the realm of the humans was promised a better or peaceful life. But once they had arrived in Soul Society everything just seems as if it had gotten worst. Watching the soul after soul fade away before him, the more determine the young man had become. Over time he began learning more and more about Reiatsu and the other abilities that came along with it. Kidou was also an aspect of his training that he rather enjoyed and took a liking to. Over the years of spending time and learning from the Hermit, Izanagi was finally given the opportunity to wield his very own Zanapakuto. Or rather Zanapakuto’s since the swords given onto him was of a dual type. Izanagi had a unique style which suited the dual blade style best. He still had a long way to go but he was slowly beginning to discover his inner self. Izanagi had spent over ten years as a student of the hermit and had learned as much as he could. But it was time for him to move on or rather take the next step towards becoming a Shinigami. Making his way to the Shinigami Academy, Izanagi found some things to be different according to what he was taught by the hermit. The man decided not to teach him every little thing but rather gave him a few pointers. This way Izanagi would struggle and overcome, perhaps this way his accomplishments would mean more to him. That however didn't stop him from showing off his prowess which placed him above the rest. The man was dubbed a prodigy being able to grasp things a lot easier than others. Izanagi indeed had talent but he also had an head start which wasn't fair for some. But never once did he ever purport himself as being better than the other students around him. As a result of his skills set the young warrior was placed in the advance classes of the Academy . The would be Shinigami tried his best to master all forms of combat at his current level at the time. But recognized that this was just the beginning of his journey towards greatness. Shortly after joining the Academy Izanagi was drafted into the Nibantai. Once there he started to pick up a few habits that remained with him until now. The Shinigami was also an assassin, a very efficient killer if need be. Training in the art of Shyunpo, Hakuda and Kidou mainly. Izanagi soon came to realize that his beloved skills in swordsmanship was beginning to wane. The Shinigami still managed to progress through the ranks, even becoming a Captain of his own special squad of Assassins. Izanagu seemed happy with his progress but not satisfied in the least and so it was time for him to move on. War broke out and the world was thrown into chaos. Working together with his Zanapakuto and close companion in battle, Izanagi was able to overcome most of his opponents. But there was a few that reminded him why he couldn't or shouldn't be satisfied with his power. His potential was still untapped at this point, perhaps it was a reflection on the division that he had chosen. Maybe being an Assassin wasn't the correct job for him as a Shinigami at all. Izanagi was a great tactician and a formidable young warrior but still something was missing. With the war raging a spot soon became available for him. One that would allow him to progress and to even learn more about the sword. A Fuku Taicho had fallen, more specifically the Fuku Taicho of the Sanbantai. Hearing about his battle prowess from the rumors that went around about Izanagi. The Shinigami was soon approached by the Taicho of the 3rd Division with an offer. The man wanted the Shinigami to take up the spot as Fuku Taicho of the Sanbantai. At first Izanagi was a little reluctant and ever so defiant but after careful consideration Jushiro had joined the Sanbantai. Once there the Shinigami started working more exclusively on his Swordsmanship. The Captain of the Sanbantai was a strange one since he was the previous Fuku Taicho of the 11th. Such a person could always teach Izanagu a thing or two about the sword and thats what he did indeed. Cross was now a lot happier and more satisfied with himself and his progress and so he began looking forward to the next step. The man had his sights set on becoming a Captain or to at the very least obtain Bankai. Turning over a new leaf another chapter of his life had begun.

Vizard Chapter: The Beginning

Constantly fighting for what he believed in saw Izanagi going against an opponent that had the opposite ideals as he did. It was during this time that his fate changed and the birth of a new person in the form of Izanagi was now in existence. The assailant that changed Izanagi's fate was a sort of mad scientist that believed in strengthening the soul of the Shinigami through the process of hollowification. This crazed individual truly believed that Hollowification of a Shinigami's soul was the new form of evolution and that all Shinigami should undergo this process. However Izanagi didn't share his beliefs and so a battle took place between both of them. Being a mad scientist and an idealist it should have been evident that this opponent had a plan or way of transforming the soul of a Shinigami. However Izanagi ignored those little detail and his calculative and perceptive skills failed him in battle.

His opponent managed to corrupt his soul and induced the hollowfication process which caused Izanagi to rampage for a while and it was during this time, that he defeated his adversary. But it was already too late for him since he was no longer a Shinigami, he was instead an hybrid. Izanagi found himself going through a state of denial and depression for a while, even going M.I.A for a while to get his hollow side under control. It was by luck that he had someone by his side that had some knowledge of the Hollowfication and process. And although they tried to reverse it, it proved impossible to do so. Still moving among the Gotei 13 as the Captain of the 10th Division, Izanagi's powers manifested during battle for all his comrades to see. At this point everything started going downhill for Izanagi and it was now utterly useless to even hide what he truly is.

Surprisingly unlike the treatment most Vaizards got when they underwent the hollowfication Process. Inzanagi faced no ill treatment from his pairs except for their self pity. Thinking that he would now be hunted down by his former comrades due to pass experience. He was instead given the option of Resigning his post and to go into exile, it wasn't even an option to be precise it was an order. Leaving Soul Society and his home behind Izanagi found himself in the human world where he came across others like himself. During this time his hollow side started becoming more and more difficult to deal with since he didn't have full control over it yet. Izanagi found himself having to undergo a process that was almost like training for Bankai all over again. This time round it was to defeat his hollow side in which he did. Being the no nonsense warrior that he is, Inzanagi fought and conquered his hollow within 25 minutes of a very difficult battle.

Having completing the process successfully Izanagi accepted the fact that he could no longer pretend to be a Shinigami. Now he had to embrace the fact that he was an hybrid which worked fined for him since he was now stronger than before. Being able to keep his mask on without worrying about his Hollow side interfering at least not for a while. But even so its a challenge he would most welcome since the inner struggles tends to mean more than any other form of combat

Picture of Character: ()-()

Sample Chapter:

Like all arrivals in Soul Society a Senkai gate opened and a 5’7 tall figure emerged. The Shinigami had a smile on his face and a glint in his eyes. He was triumphant during his latest mission, warding off the Arrancar. The hollow infestation was more or less starting to become a plague of sorts. It pained the Shinigami to even think about the Arrancar and their disgusting stench. For some reason they always smelt funny which made it even more difficult to fight them. Pulling his black mask over his mouth, it covered up to his nose bridge. It was part of Cross’s persona not to let anyone in and hiding behind a mask at times was best. It was however confusing to some since the man was quite handsome in his own right. The Shinigami’s hands soon drifted onto the hilt of his Zanapakuto that was strapped across his lower back. Cross was a dual type sword wielder with one of his swords placed on his back. The hilt of said sword extended just over his shoulder, while the other one was placed across his lower back. Walking past the guards that were stationed at the gates, each and every one of them bowed in respect. It was a good feeling to be respected, then again none of them actually wanted to upset the Shinigami. Cross also sports a funky low top hair cut with hair extended down past his shoulder. His hair was also spiky in appearance and was of a red and black color. It was split in three equal halves with the central halve being black. And the two remaining halves at the sides being red in colour, it was also one of his most notable features. Many would recognize him straight away via the mask on his face and his hair colour. Coming to a stop the Shinigami glanced around the area before vanishing. It seems he was wanted elsewhere at the moment and it had been a while since he checked in. After a while the Shinigami appeared on the grounds of his division. Loyal soldiers flocked to the Shinigami upon his arrival with joyful greetings. Taking the time of acknowledge each and everyone there. Cross moved past the gathering after relaying a message onto them. One that would involve them training and carrying on with the duties as a Shinigami. Stepping into his personal office Cross sat down to have a drink of sake. There was a pile of dreadful paper work on his desk, Cross had only gone an hour at most. And yet there was an unimaginable amount of paper work on his desk. A pile that went stocked together was no more than five pieces of paper put together.

Other Shinigamis would be delighted with the idea of having so little work. But for Cross it was one sheet of paper too much for him. Musing over what to do next, Cross took quick sips of his sake after a ten seconds interval. It was frustrating not having anything else to do at the moment. Perhaps sleeping would be the best thing for him to do right now. But that was merely wishful thinking for him now. A Hell butterfly soon floated into the office and before it could even get closer. Cross released a sigh after anticipating the message that it would relay to him. How convenient it was to have a message from the commander? Getting up from his seat Cross yawned and stretched his arms towards the ceiling. For some reason he could never get a break no matter how hard he tried to. Walking outside of his office the soldiers of his Division was going about their everyday lives. Soon enough his head rose towards the heavens, if there is such a thing in Soul Society. Cross listened carefully to the birds chirping on a nearby tree branch. The bumble bee that buzzed, creating a soothing tune landing on a blade of grass. The coy fish in the pond flail after snapping up a meal and an insect that fell in. The Sun was high over Soul Society which was a good sign regardless of the dark cloud. The same cloud that hang over the Shinigami as he once again vanished from his position. He was now heading in the direction of the Captain Commander’s office. Soul Society was on the verge of war, the things that had already gone on was merely the prelude. Still the cunning Shinigami known as Suigetsu Cross was looking forward to it. Reaching the 1st Division grounds Cross stood patiently as the gates opened.

Standing outside of the 1st Division Cross stepped inside as the gates opened up before him. A number of other important Shinigami had began turning up at this meeting of sorts. These important beings so happened to be a bunch of other Captains of the Gotei 13. Only a select few had turned up, since the Sotaicho required something from them. Walking inside Cross stood in line in front of the Sotaicho with the other awaiting orders. It seems there was a disturbance in the Rukongai District, powerful surges of Reiatsu as recorded. Only problem was that it was deep into the Rukongai area where the souls hardly ever inhabited. It was the perfect place for someone to start trouble and go unseen and unchecked. But it seems that all of this was reported to the 10th Division headquarters. Besides the Juubantai was responsible for the needs of the people. And of course the Kyuubanti would get involved in all of this. But why was Cross called to such a meeting in the first place? It wasn’t his job to deal with these things at least not as yet. Then again it wouldn’t hurt to send someone as skilled as himself on such a trip. And so three High Ranking Shinigami was sent off to investigate these strange happenings in the Rukongai area. From the explanation given from the Sotaicho souls have been disappearing without any real trace. At least some of those that was taken left no traces for the Shinigami to follow. Cross had a feeling things would get a little messy should they encounter anything abnormal. It was quite intriguing to think the Shinigami would class anything as abnormal at all. Besides the Humans normally classify them as ghosts and the Hollows as monsters. The beings that haunted the dreams of the young men and woman of such a world. So much so that some would even make up there very own ghost stories. These stories would often become nothing but a folklore for others to fall asleep to. Their orders were very simple go and investigate and terminate anything that they would deem to be a threat. Leaving the grounds of the 1st Division Cross wasn’t looking forward to any of this at all. The man wanted to leave the others to deal with this supposed threat. But realized that he wouldn’t be able to run away from his duties as a Shinigami. He had two other Captains there with him who would make sure that he tagged along. Giving a quick nod in response the three warriors the Shinigami disappeared . An ominous wind blew through the area as the Shinigami made his way to the Rukongai districts. Following the coordinates given to them Cross travelled deep into the unknown. He couldn’t honestly remember travelling to this part of land. It was very similar to the stories of Hueco Mundo. The Vasto Lorde was often found dwelling in the deepest and darkness corners of Hueco Mundo.

Applying for the position of a Vizard this time round. Sorry of the History is all over the place, since I mixed and match my App lol.

All right, let us begin with the appearance. There are a couple grammatical errors, but nothing that should warrant disapproval or anything of the sort. These designs on the overcoat and kimono, it would have been helpful if you had described them, what they look like, what they resemble, that kind of thing. Again, it is nothing that would prompt for disapproval, and is, in fact, just a very small problem that I have, the meticulous person that I am… Moving on, to the personality.

Personally, I like this guy’s personality. It is pretty interesting, but there are a few areas that could use to be fleshed out, described more, and there are, also, some grammatical errors here and there. However, it is nothing so important that would garner my disapproval. I think it would be helpful if you described how he is intelligent, beyond the fact that the great intellect is there. In addition, I think that it would make for a better read if you described how he could be manipulative. As we all know well, there are many forms of manipulation, even those so subtle that it does not even seem like one is attempting to maneuver a person. The same goes for a few other aspects of his personality. I just don’t like one word descriptions, you know? I hope you understand where I am coming from. Then again,… it is not that big of a deal.

Optional things are, well, optional. Enough said. You can even come back to them later, if you wish. Or not.

The history, well, there are some grammatical errors here and there, and, in my opinion, it would have been fleshed out and detailed more in some areas. Still, nothing that would… well, you know the drill by now, do you not?

Anyhow, overall, this application is fine. I deem this approved, now all you need is for the man, the Vizard leader, to approve you as Vizard. This application in entirety, Vizardness and all, is approved, though.
