Ya know, I thought about making up a new guy for this RP.... I just love using Genji too much though. Haha
Basic Information
Name: Genji Uesugi
Age: 21 (The age he looks like anyway)
Gender: Male
Species: Soul Reaper
Side: Soul Society
Rank: Captain
Divsion: 7th
Personal Info
Appearance/Build: Genji stands at six foot one, with moderate-lengthed dark brown hair. Short in the back and sides, with a long bang in the front that hangs just below his eyebrows, covering most of his foreheard. The front of his hair comes to somewhat of a point, with a couple hairs that stray into his eyes. On the top of his head near the back, a handful of random hairs are usually spiked up in different directions. Genji always has hair gel in his room for whatever kind of hairstyle he's feeling that day. He has intense brown eyes, that are said to seemingly change to a piercing green when he gets angry or is passionate about something. There is a slight pale glint to his skin that accents the definition of his muscles. A lean build with a toned body, makes him agile and tough.
With an affinity for changing the way he looks, he often has different hairstyles and colors. As well as his hair, he also several piercings. He has two silver horseshoe shaped earrings near the top of his left ear. On the other ear, he has two silver hoops along the middle outside, and black a stud in his tragus. On each lob he has a larger black ball stud in both. As being one of his more defining features, the other Captain's usually poke fun at Genji about his jewelry. Never too far though, as so many in the Soul Society know and tremble at the thought of Genji's strength.
Attire: Genji wears the standard 13 Court Guard Squad, Soul Reaper clothes. His captain's jacket cuts off just a little bit higher than most, stopping level with his knees. The sleeves that were once on his jacket are long since torn off. He tore them at the shoulders, with the cloth stressed and frayed around the tops of his shoulders now. When asked why he did it, he said: "I liked it better like this." Other than his normal uniform, he has a single brown, leather wristband that snaps around his left wrist.
Personality: A kind-hearted person, is what Genji is referred to mostly. With a welcoming and warm nature, he is liked by many. He has several friends, and is about the loyalest person you'll meet. He keeps a level-head about him in most any situation, making him an excellent Captain. Smart and quick on his toes, he truly earned his place as the leader of his squad. He has the tendency to be very insightful without even trying. Some of the things that can come out of his mouth are so intellectually fulfilling, even he isn't sure what he said... Energetic and hyper usually, he's always itching for something exciting to do. Whether it's going out for sushi with his squad members or training with some of the other Captains, Genji is always raring to go. He loves early mornings and late night; he lives for the beauty of the world and nature.
On the other end of the spectrum, Genji has a bit of a temper on him that has been seen by only few. This temper makes him verocious in combat. The unforgiving demeanor that can suddenly wash over him is such a shock in contrast to his normal self, it takes practically everyone off guard. It can be the end of someone if they're not careful. If things don't turn out just the way he wants them to, he can become easily aggitated. A perfectionist at heart, he plans everything out far further than he should. Calcuating hundreds of different outcomes in his mind without even trying to. A downfall to some, an advantage to him. Absolutely brimming with power, Genji does not gloat or throw his strength around. He sees no need in it. As humble as they come, the only time Genji will talk of his ability, is when there is need of it. And even when he intends on fighting someone, he still holds himself back. The shear immensity of his reitatsu and power is suffocating.
Biography: Remembering little to nothing of his life before the afterlife, Genji can recall but one moment as a human, the moment he died. It was him and his girlfriend walking around the city in the afternoon, having a nice stroll and enjoying eachothers company. Ever entranced by Genji, his lady walked out on to the street without paying attention, when a moving truck came flying down the road. Without thinking, Genji leaped into the street and threw her out of the way, taking the full blow of the truck. Dying immediately... It took him awhile to come to grips with what had happened, and let go of his mortal bonds, but with helpful guidance from a young Soul Reaper who explained his death and the Soul Society to him, he allowed the shinigami to pass him on to the other side. Though hardly remembering his time as a human now, subconsciously he still has a fear of losing people he loves. He still says he would always put himself in harms way to protect others. He won't ever let people he cares about get hurt. Ever.
Living out several years of his life just getting used to the lifestyle accompanied to that of someone who lives in the Soul Society, it wasn't long before he heard more about these "Soul Reapers". Absolutely fascinated in the duties they carry out and the tremendous power they apparently hold, Genji was determined to become one of them someday. Working hard, and training harder, he earned his right into the Soul Reaper Academy. Quite proficient in his swordsmanship, and exceedingly skilled in his kido spells, it wasn't that strange to think Genji had a good chance of making his way into the Court Guards. Passing his final exams with an average score, his dream had finally come true. Bouncing around the squads and honing his skills along the way, he was known as a skilled warrior by half of the seritei. Earning bankai, and his appropriate recommendations along the way, he eventually made his way to be one of the younger Captains in the 13 Court Guard Squads, and an incredibly strong one at that. Proving himself time and time again in battles and leadership, he is well respected and though a newer Captain, still known for his great strength.
Zanpakuto Name/Releases/Powers
Sword Name:
Senazuchi (Thunder Conductor)
Description of Sealed Form: A regular katana with just a little bit of a smaller blade and longer hilt than usual swords. The guard is in the shape of a thick circular metal band with pointed studs jutting from all sides. The hilt is wrapped in a light gray cloth.
Release Phrase: Tear down the skies...
Senazuchi !
Shikai Appearance: The katana transforms into a 4 foot axe. The axe head is short and slim, with the blade of the axe shining bright enough to be seen as almost white. There's a halberd spike mounted on the very top of the blade. The head is attached to a long, steel, gray pole which is embroidered with filligree designs and swirls, that completely cover every inch of the shaft. The pole is a bit thicker than a quarter in the center, buts gets quite wider at each end. The bottom of the pole curves and turns slightly upward, with the tail ending in a large metal stud.
Shikai Powers: Senazuchi has the ability to create, manipulate, and control the most powerful form of electricity; lightning. It can make, bolts, waves, and beams of electrical energy that flows the from the blade of the axe. It can even go as far as to erupt lightning from the earth.
Bankai Name:
Kyousei Senazuchi (Great Thunder Conductor)
Bankai Appearance: In bankai, Senazuchi massively grows in size, stretching out to almost as tall as Genji. The axe head grows severely longer; reaching down half of the pole. The blade itself grows wider and becomes larger in practically all proportions. Though his zanpakuto is so large, Genji still has no trouble swinging Kyousei Senazuchi around quite quickly. The shaft doubles in width and grows a handle half way down that jutts out like that on a scythe. The handle is covered and protected by a a shell of armor that sits in front of it. It resembles a large conch shell of sorts, covered in design. The curved tail twists and balls up into a steel mace ball. The metal ball can be detached from the tail to reveal a chain connecting it to the end of the pole. The ball can be used as a ranged weapon with a small button near the bottom that can shoot the mace ball out at high speeds, and with another press can wind it back up, connecting it again. The final update that takes place is the gray, embroidered breastplate that appears on Genji's torso, along with small squared shoulder pads. The armor is stunning to look at, as well as immensely strong. All of his new armoring is covered in the same filligree design that cover his axe's staff.
Bankai Powers: Kyousei Senazuchi holds all the original powers of the shikai but increases them all by ten fold. The level of it's electrical abilities is at it's very peak of power. The shear radius and strength of the seperate abilities produced by Senazuchi are now critically increased. In this form, Genji uses his weapon less as an attacking implement, but more as a center of energy production. He can usually keep almost all enemies suppressed by just producing blasts and waves from his axe. Kyousei Senazuchi also holds the ability to produce several new abilites that have unimaginable strength. Some can't even be performed anywhere near buildings or people. The amount of power Genji holds in this form is shuttered in thought by most of the Seritei, rivaling some of the strongest Captains.
A simple, damage-based power, but with such strength, it makes it fear-provoking all the same.
Shinigami and Zanpakuto Abilities/Kido
Flash Step and other basic Soul Reaper skills.
Zanpakuto List of Abilities:
- "Blast" - The simplest of all of Senazuchi's abilities. The ability that is constantly used by Genji in battle, in either release state. It's just a small swathe of electrical energy that can shoot out of Senazuchi or Genji's hands. It works as the average suppressive blasts that Genji spams out of his axe (mostly in bankai).
- "Roar" - Genji breaks into a jog and drags Senazuchi's blade across the ground. As the blade scratches across the earth, a wave of electrical energy follows the head. When he slashes the axe up, the energy continues and launches forward, ripping up the ground in a large forked swath that shoots straight ahead; destroying anything in it's way.
- "Gleam" - Reitatsu starts to focus at the tip on top of the axe. It slowly gleams into a small light of energy, and then suddenly blasts out in a long continous, thin beam of lightning. The lightning acts like a whip that can be moved back and forth through enemies, tearing through them like a buzzsaw.
- "Burst" - Launches a large, wall-like, circular wave of energy outwards, that acts less of a damaging and explosion-type move, but is used more as a suppressive move that pushes and launches enemies far back and into the air. Keeps enemies at a distance and knocks them off their feet. Great for crowds and is especially useful in narrow aisles or hallways.
- "Erupt" - The axe starts to steam with electrical reitatsu and Genji jumps in the air, coming back down with the blade straight into the ground, sending a flow of lightning down in the ground and out again 30 feet in front of it, exploding upwards in a tower of pure electrical energy that obliterates anything above it.
- "Divide" - A gleam of reitatsu eminates from the edge of the blade and, on command, is shot forward in a slicing, vertical, blade of energy. It can sever right through just about any object cleanly without any seperate damage. Thus leaving buildings with gaps straight through without disrupting anything else. Can shoot several back to back.
- "Bite" - Genji pulls his hand close to his chest and points it outward towards his enemies. Several zagging beams of lightning shoot out of his palm in varying directions, moving around constantly. Not the most powerful move, but can cause a fair bit of damage to tens of opponents at the same time as the beams branch out and scatter in front of Genji. Can cause nerve damage by sending much of the current directly into bodies, temporarily paralyzing most.
Bankai only abilities:
- "Great Roar" - A move in many similiarites to the lesser version of it. The difference being that Genji can perform with running, and blasts two continous blasts out instead of one. They shoot of in split directions, taking out even more foes. The move has a tendency to reach up higher, and stretch out more than intended, thus breaking more than Genji usually means to. Oops.
- "Chase" - Creates two large orbs in the palms of Genji's hands that are given targets chosen by the caster. When released, they lock on to the very reitatsu force of their target and will 'chase' after them to all reachs of a huge area, relentlessly, until they make contact and vaporize them. Even if they make contact or are destroyed, when they explode they shoot out several smaller mini bombs that spray out in different directions, blasting into anything they touch.
- "Encase" - Summons an orb of repelling electrical energy that encases around Genji's entire body. Has an extrememly strong barrier, that can't be broken by anything less than a Captain's strength.

Some abilities in his bankai form have yet to even be seen.
Kido List:
Genji is known for being very proficient in using kido spells. Ordinary spells used by Genji are exceedingly bigger and more powerful, even in contrast to some of the other Captains.
- Bakudo 4 - Hainawa - An energy rope entangles the target's arms
- Bakudo 37 - Tsuriboshi - Creates a star-shaped cushion of Spiritual Energy, which anchors it to nearby objects with "ropes" of spirit particles. It can stop falling objects, acting like a safety net.
- Bakudo 39 - Enkōsen - Summons a shield of condensed reiatsu to block opponents' attacks.
- Bakudo 61 - Rikujōkōrō - Summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection, holding them in place. The target is then unable to move any part of their body including the parts that were not struck by the beams.
- Bakudo 73 - Tozanshō - Creates an inverted pyramid-shaped barrier around the caster.

- Hado 63 - Raikōhō - Fires a massive wave of yellow energy at a target.
