Shinigami
Name: Hitotsu
Gender: Male
Age: 1109 (looks to be in his mid/late twenties) Division: 9
Rank: Captain
Physical Description: 6'7'' 235lbs Hitotsu is shredded,meaning he is just under being overdeveloped in terms of muscle mass he is just under enough to not be hindered in battle. Hitotsu wears his shinigami robes along with a long tattered black hooded cloak that is usually left to hang like a cape. Although he does not wear the traditional white robes that mark him as a captain he does where the 9th divisions insignia on the back of his cloak in white. He also wears a pair of black boots and wears white hand wrappings on his hands reaching just beyond his wrist.
Personality: Hitotsu’s personality borders on psychotic, he lives only for battle and defeating strong opponents. He has no use for weaklings be they friend or foe. Hitotsu only desires to obtain more power and only as a means to fight ever stronger opponents. It is a well known fact that Hitotsu will only engage in a fight on his own no matter how many opponents he faces and if one of his subordinates disobeys him, Hitotsu will feel no remorse if said person gets killed as a result of getting caught up in his wake.
Hitotsu's attitude when not in a fight only goes between the ranges of being rude, confrontational or belittling. He has no compassion on or off the battle field and in fact views life only as one giant battle. He is only happy when swinging his gigantic sword and as such tries to do so as much as possible. Hitotsu is like a mad man in combat, preferring the sight of spilled blood to any other. In fact he enjoys it so much that he craves it, yearns for it. The very thought of the crimson essence pouring out of its fleshy container excites him in an almost sexual manner. Hitotsu is so keen on killing and his rage so great, that many of the other shinigami believe him to be a worse monster than any hollow. In a fight, Hitotsu gives himself over to his blood lust completely and although he is a more than competent fighter and strategist, prefers to fight enemies head on. Hitotsu's rage knows no bounds and if triggered, he is very sadistic even mutilating the corpses of his enemies at times when he loses complete control over his rage.
History:
Upon his arrival to soul society, Hitotsu was in a state of confusion. He had no memory of his past and everything felt strange to him where he was.He roamed the thirteenth district aimlessly until coming across a scene that made hitotsu feel something vaguely familiar. An uncontrollable hunger was building up inside him and somehow he felt as though it was natural. The scene before Hitotsu was that of what looked to be some type of miscreant holding a small girl who looked to be no more than ten years old by the throat. Elevating her off the ground as he squeezed the life out of her. Watching the proceedings, Hitotsu could see that others in the town could see what was happening and did nothing to stop it. Instead everyone tried to act as though the tiny brunette did not exist. Likewise, his attention was not drawn to the girls plight but instead to the mans neck. The girl, in her struggles had tore pieces of flesh from the man with her nails and a trail of blood was making its way down the mans back and shoulder. Hitotsu's body shook and as he could take no more, moved of its own accord like a wild animal acting off instinct more than anything else. Hitotsu doesn't know why he did what he did next, his blood lust took over. Without realizing it, Hitotsu had approached the man from behind wielding a discarded broom, and with one clean thrust, Hitotsu pierced straight through the mans jugular. The final beats of the dying mans feeble heart Spraying the prone girl over and over with his life's essence as he convulsed. The broken handle Hitotsu had picked up on his way over allowing droplets of the viscous fluid drop from its ends making patter pat noises on the earth beneath them.
The dead man fell to the ground in a heap, and he stared in amazement at the forming pool that appeared before him as. Many people gathered round him and the girl was carried away by her family in a state of shock. "he...he killed him" one shouted. "you went too far..just too far" said another. A third screamed. "Murderer!" and yet another quieter voice said. "My broom" Then one more loudly than the last. The townsfolk expressed their disdain for his actions. But he didn't budge. He was in a trance. One could mistake it if they were there and believe that Hitotsu was in shock about what had transpired but in reality. He had been in a swoon. The blood before him looked to be very inviting and hitotsu had to refrain himself from kneeling down to take a closer look, maybe even.......a taste? no...a bath maybe........yeah a bath. He decided before a jerk on his shoulders brang him back to into the reality of his surroundings. The towns people were afraid of retaliation from the dead mans group of bandits and decided they would kill him as a sign of good faith. Of course some opposed and the small group that brought it up had gone silent for now.
"Stop" Yelled a woman, holding the blood spattered girl to her chest. Apparently her mother told Hitotsu to come with her and that she was thankful that she had saved Charlotte, the little girl. Misunderstanding his intentions. She led Hitotsu back to her home where her father gave him a rude greeting and he had an uncomfortable dinner with the family. All throughout the day, Hitotsu had been getting strange flashes of huge battlefields littered with corpses. He retired early and was shown to a spare room. while he slept his memory had returned to him. In a series of horrifying flashbacks, the captain to be's life as a mortal played out before him.
The man who later renamed himself Hitotsu for he had been nameless to this point and his real name was........well it wasn't Hitotsu but thats not important. He had been brought up to be a mercenary by trade, third generation killer for hire. At the age of five,his time was spent collecting dead bodies.At this time, hitotsu's infatuation with blood was first observed, he would play with the blood of the dead and rub it all over his flesh. this was more than strange to any on lookers and he was ridiculed and thought of as a cursed child and was subsequently avoided or mistreated and got beat by drunkards frequently including his father who was the worst. By the age of six he was being taught how to fight with a sword. the fact that he was traveling with a pack of killers meant that none of the men carried a child sized sword and Hitotsu's father insisted he learn how to handle an adults sword. At the age of ten he had grown strong and was expected to participate in battles along side the men. He braved many battles and survived all, getting older as his mercenary group grew in size and stature. Kings now had them do their bidding. hitotsu now already a seasoned and competent warrior at the age of sixteen. Had developed a small following himself, personally dispatching many officers. As he grew in size he would acquire bigger and bigger swords to match what he had been accustomed to when he learned. In battle, Hitotsu was known to be able to cut through both horse and rider with a single swing from his blade. As it happens in war someone died, it was Hitotsu's father. As lieutenant of the squad, Hitotsu assumed leadership and immediately making moves to expand his forces. Many battles were fought and Hitotsu had been in the middle of every one of them. Ripping and shredding letting the sweet red fluid of an infinitesimal rapture coat him until his armor as well as his flesh dripped with it. Blood was something he thirsted for like a creature out of story made to frighten children into staying in bed. his soldiers followed him out of fear and greed. Fear that he would see them as weak for deserting and kill them just to see them bleed out as he was known to do and out of the greed for the rewards that accompany winning battles. And since Hitotsu came of age they had been unstoppable. Hitotsu had no love for his men or for his father for that matter, he was void of that type of emotion, all he knew was the sheer thrill of warm blood splashing on to his face. It was the only times he felt at ease, as if the blood some how soothed the rage that built up inside of him. After many years of battle and hardships as a commander for the kings army, many a noble were up in arms that a commoner such as he who was such a high profile psychopath was given rank similar to them. Thus a diabolical and cowardly plot was created and whilst amusing himself after winning a crucial battle in which he single handedly killed the opposing armies general who was also highly known for his battle prowess. Hitotsu's traditional after battle gauntlet of blood was spiked with poison and he passed away quietly in the night.
"WHERE IS HE?" A voice brought him back to reality, he was now more confused then ever, trying to evaluate what he had just seen. "FIND HIM......KILL HIM!" the voice shouted again. many sets of footsteps could be heard storming through the house in search of him. Hurrying out the door to meet his attackers, Hitotsu was on them before they could react. Lashing out like an animal more than a man. He killed the men to the last one and caught a glimpse of something that made the blade he had taken from one of the townspeople stop, leaving him wounded but alive so that hitotsu could question him, more out of curiosity than concern. On the floor next to the man, was the body of Charlotte who looked as if horses had trampled her in her sleep. "Why did you do that" He motioned toward her corpse. "Uuughh....monster YOU were the one that did this...we came after an invisible force so terrible.....it knocked everyone in range of this place down like they were suddenly twice as heavy. We found her like this.........you bastard......." He spat out before Hitotsu's blade pierced his heart. From that day forward, Hitotsu was fully aware of the power he possessed and the monster he was.The old familiar hunger had returned with his memory, but throughout his years along with his newfound strength, his hunger had evolved and was not satisfied with having just any blood, since coming to soul society he had not been fulfilled the way he used to be when he was alive. With only small fry's about and these days that just would not do. Without the thrill of knowing one's own life was in jeopardy the rush he normally got when "playing" just would not come. From this revelation, he went off in search of that rush, but everywhere he looked was overflowing with weaklings and non-combatants. Hitotsu soon departed from the thirteenth district and went off to make a home for himself in the most feared and dangerous district soul society had. The 80th district. As he made the trek through the other districts, Hitotsu noted and was pleased to see that the further he went, the more low lives and cut throats were around. As he entered district #80, a group of bandits/ruffians came together and attacked the newcomer. Unaware of his reiatsu which was at an astonishing level even then, the attackers could not leave a scratch on Hitotsu. With his blood lust triggered, Hitotsu spent the next hour mutilating their corpses with a dagger he had picked up from one of them. That rush had returned.
Soon after this incident, Hitotsu became known throughout the slums and many more opponents came to claim his life for various reasons,he welcomed all comers. One after another they all were killed. All who opposed him met their demise, Hitotsu spared none. Years turned to decades, and Hitotsu’s name had spread far over the years making it so that none dared to fight him. Hitotsu now had to hunt those whom he wanted to kill. Over the time he spent in rukongai. After awhile, Hitotsu ran out of strong opposition completely. His existence became stagnant and as such he found himself making his way toward the gates of soul society, since he had heard of the tales of the shinigami fighting immensely strong opponents. As he got there, seeing as he was not invited by or accompanied by a death god, the gate keeper attempted to keep him out. Hitotsu just smirked and proceeded to tear the gigantic being to pieces, ending the assault by smashing the guardian’s body through the wall allowing him access to the city.
After feeling the raw power of his reiatsu and the destruction he had caused, the captain of the 9th division came out to meet him. Hitotsu could not contain himself after meeting such a strong opponent and began a fight with the man. The captain turned out to be more than a match for him and he was soundly defeated. However, the captain who had to use his shikai to best the dagger wielding Hitotsu saw limitless potential within him and petitioned the gotei 13 to allow him to skip the academy in lieu of Hitotsu's massive spiritual pressure. Although many opposed this idea, the commander general himself gave the OK on the condition that the 9th division captain take him on personally. Seeing as this was his intention in the first place, he agreed and made Hitotsu his tenth seat officer after giving him a zanpakuto.
The captain was as close to a friend as anybody ever would to Hitotsu, teaching him all that he needed to know about being a shinigami. With his monstrous reiatsu, it did not take long for Hitotsu to reach shikai and after achieving its new form, his blade never again reverted to its sealed state. At first Hitotsu was very uncoordinated in handling the weight of his sword and with such an ungainly blade he knew that he would have to adapt to it.The fledgling shinigami poured every ounce of his time and effort into mastering the dragon slayer. Day after day, year after year he trained. Even going as far as adding three times the weight of his sword onto the blade. Swinging it again and again millions of times over and over,and with help and sound advice from his captain he got to the point that now he can swing the dragon slayer like it was a regular katana and can wield it with one hand which he prefers to do. Somehow over the years Hitotsu, having no last name (that he can recall any how) inherited the title of the dragon slayer thanks to his Zanpakuto and the way Hitotsu handled it was quickly gaining notoriety within soul society itself. Soon after this, he took the role of 3rd seat in the 9th division. Hitotsu Garnering much attention both negative and positive due to his exploits inside soul society as well as without. People criticized him for his excessive killing and use of force but Hitotsu paid them no heed. Instead he continued to sharpen his skills and after being in soul society nearly 400 years achieved his bankai. He was given the role of Vice captain of the 9th division and was also offered the role of Captain of the battle division since it seemed to suit his preoccupation with fighting. But Hitotsu turned it down choosing to stay with the 9th and the captain who had taken him in. Most would have thought this was because of a supposed loyalty but this was not the case, he remained with the 9th because he liked killing strong opponents not just any weakling that happened to peak his head out from under the rock they hid beneath. In the 9th division he would get to fight opponents that the other divisions had already failed to kill as well as high priority targets.
One hundred years passed in this manner, with Hitotsu's reiatsu climbing ever higher seemingly with no end in sight to his progression. A rift between he and his captain pertaining to their difference of opinions on what was best in life had began from Hitotsu saying battle held the only appeal to life, while his captain believed that they fought to protect life and that the fight itself although a part of life was not what life was about. A fierce battle ensued between the two, and Hitotsu had come out on top as the clear cut winner. Unable to deal with being bested by his subordinate, the Hitotsu's captain left soul society and became a rogue. Never to be seen of again by Hitotsu or anyone else from soul society for that matter, the disappearance led to Hitotsu’s promotion to captain. Although he believes that his former superior is somewhere in the living world since he had always spoken so fondly of the way humans live, Hitotsu has never gone looking for him and never plans to. His only goal is to swing his sword until he can swing it no more.
Over the centuries so many complaints had built up about Hitotsu's behavior and use of lethal force. that a voluntary captains meeting was called. Resided over by the commander general himself.His fellow captains voiced their disapproval, and one over all was the biggest supporter that Hitotsu be stripped of his rank and exhiled if not executed was 6th division captain Gahrok.Hitotsu would always remember him,he wanted to kill him then, but the commander general ruled that hitotsu must never kill any shinigami that he has not been ordered to do so. And he agreed so long as he was kept at his post at the ninth division.
Additional Info: Hitotsu has an EXTREMELY high amount of reiatsu. So much so that the energy he unconsciously releases is enough to keep his zanpakuto in its first release from. Hitotsu is believed to have one of the highest reiatsu levels of all the gotei 13. Hitotsu’s killer intent is said to be enough to put all but the strongest or strong willed opponents to their knees without a fight.
Although you may perceive someone with a huge sword to be slow, Hitotsu is anything but, Hitotsu is able to strike with the dragon slayer at frightening speeds.
Zanpakuto
General
Name: Skull Knight
Spirit Description: Hitotsu's sword spirit a knight in full armour with a flaming skull atop his shoulders. The skull knight is mounted on an armoured warhorse which breathes fire through it's nostrils.
Sealed: Hitotsus sword is permanently in its shikai form.
Shikai
Activation Phrase: Your dead (Only been used once)
Appearance: A gigantic blade reaching nearly seven feet long with 6 feet of that being the blade. It is a foot and a half at the base which is its widest point and is nearly half a foot thick resembling a piece of iron more than a sword thanks to its ludicrous size. The handle is thin and wrapped in white wrappings resembling the ones he wears on his hands
Abilities:
Korosu(kill)- in this form the dragon slayers allows the user to couple their reiatsu with it's own creating a massive, concussive blast of blood red Reiatsu that is sent at an opponent with a swing of it's massive blade resembling a tidal wave that can cut as deep as any blade. If blocked will impact with great force, either pushing back, knocking down or blowing away its target depending on their power level. (a la zangetsu's Gatsuuga)
Flash sword: Hitotsu channels large amounts of reiatsu into his right arm and can strike with the dragon slayer at great speed comparable to four times as fast and powerful as a regular swing from him for three strike per use.
Bankai
Activation Phrase: BAN-KAI!!!
Appearance: After he calls out his second release, Hitotsu's body is engulfed in a massive column of black light. When Hitotsu comes back into view, he looks like this
The dragon slayer although not losing much of its length, becomes much thinner and lighter in bankai form. Along with the huge boost in strength and speed gained in his second release, Hitotsu's familiarity of swinging around his swords much heavier shikai form allows him to swing his blade at extremely high velocities. The sheild he carries grants Hitotsu formidable protection against attack but has no ablilities of its own so is still vulnerable to the shortcomings of a regular sheild. The armor he wears offers him added protection and lends itself to his berserker style of fighting greatly although like the sheild it has no special abilities.
Abilities:
Korosu(kill)- Just a more powerful version of its shikai incarnation.
Flash sword: Faster,more powerful version of its shikai counter-part also able to use multiple sword strikes, unlike in shikai which limits the flash sword to three uses, in bankai Hitotsu is currently at seven strikes per use (planning on making it more eventually)
Grandou Sphere: Hitotsu's reiatsu forms a sphere around his body creating a defensive barrier able to block all but the most powerful kido and reiatsu based attacks. (Physical attacks work just fine.)

Although many opposed this idea, the commander general himself gave the OK on the condition that the 9th division captain take him on personally. Seeing as this was his intention in the first place, he agreed and made Hitotsu his tenth seat officer after giving him a zanpakuto.
The captain was as close to a friend as anybody ever would to Hitotsu, teaching him all that he needed to know about being a shinigami. With his monstrous reiatsu, it did not take long for Hitotsu to reach shikai and after achieving its new form, his blade never again reverted to its sealed state. At first Hitotsu was very uncoordinated in handling the weight of his sword and with such an ungainly blade he knew that he would have to adapt to it.The fledgling shinigami poured every ounce of his time and effort into mastering the dragon slayer. Day after day, year after year he trained. Even going as far as adding three times the weight of his sword onto the blade. Swinging it again and again millions of times over and over,and with help and sound advice from his captain he got to the point that now he can swing the dragon slayer like it was a regular katana and can wield it with one hand which he prefers to do. Somehow over the years Hitotsu, having no last name (that he can recall any how) inherited the title of the dragon slayer thanks to his Zanpakuto and the way Hitotsu handled it was quickly gaining notoriety within soul society itself. Soon after this, he took the role of 3rd seat in the 9th division. Hitotsu Garnering much attention both negative and positive due to his exploits inside soul society as well as without. People criticized him for his excessive killing and use of force but Hitotsu paid them no heed. Instead he continued to sharpen his skills and after being in soul society nearly 400 years achieved his bankai. He was given the role of Vice captain of the 9th division and was also offered the role of Captain of the battle division since it seemed to suit his preoccupation with fighting. But Hitotsu turned it down choosing to stay with the 9th and the captain who had taken him in. Most would have thought this was because of a supposed loyalty but this was not the case, he remained with the 9th because he liked killing strong opponents not just any weakling that happened to peak his head out from under the rock they hid beneath. In the 9th division he would get to fight opponents that the other divisions had already failed to kill as well as high priority targets.
One hundred years passed in this manner, with Hitotsu's reiatsu climbing ever higher seemingly with no end in sight to his progression. A rift between he and his captain pertaining to their difference of opinions on what was best in life had began from Hitotsu saying battle held the only appeal to life, while his captain believed that they fought to protect life and that the fight itself although a part of life was not what life was about. A fierce battle ensued between the two, and Hitotsu had come out on top as the clear cut winner. Unable to deal with being bested by his subordinate, the Hitotsu's captain left soul society and became a rogue. Never to be seen of again by Hitotsu or anyone else from soul society for that matter, the disappearance led to Hitotsu’s promotion to captain. Although he believes that his former superior is somewhere in the living world since he had always spoken so fondly of the way humans live, Hitotsu has never gone looking for him and never plans to. His only goal is to swing his sword until he can swing it no more.
Over the centuries so many complaints had built up about Hitotsu's behavior and use of lethal force. that a voluntary captains meeting was called. Resided over by the commander general himself.His fellow captains voiced their disapproval, and one over all was the biggest supporter that Hitotsu be stripped of his rank and exhiled if not executed was 6th division captain Gahrok.Hitotsu would always remember him,he wanted to kill him then, but the commander general ruled that hitotsu must never kill any shinigami that he has not been ordered to do so. And he agreed so long as he was kept at his post at the ninth division.
Additional Info: Hitotsu has an EXTREMELY high amount of reiatsu. So much so that the energy he unconsciously releases is enough to keep his zanpakuto in its first release from. Hitotsu is believed to have one of the highest reiatsu levels of all the gotei 13. Hitotsu’s killer intent is said to be enough to put all but the strongest or strong willed opponents to their knees without a fight.
Although you may perceive someone with a huge sword to be slow, Hitotsu is anything but, Hitotsu is able to strike with the dragon slayer at frightening speeds.
Zanpakuto
General
Name: Skull Knight
Spirit Description: Hitotsu's sword spirit a knight in full armour with a flaming skull atop his shoulders. The skull knight is mounted on an armoured warhorse which breathes fire through it's nostrils.
Sealed: Hitotsus sword is permanently in its shikai form.
Shikai
Activation Phrase: Your dead (Only been used once)
Appearance: A gigantic blade reaching nearly seven feet long with 6 feet of that being the blade. It is a foot and a half at the base which is its widest point and is nearly half a foot thick resembling a piece of iron more than a sword thanks to its ludicrous size. The handle is thin and wrapped in white wrappings resembling the ones he wears on his hands
Abilities:
Korosu(kill)- in this form the dragon slayers allows the user to couple their reiatsu with it's own creating a massive, concussive blast of blood red Reiatsu that is sent at an opponent with a swing of it's massive blade resembling a tidal wave that can cut as deep as any blade. If blocked will impact with great force, either pushing back, knocking down or blowing away its target depending on their power level. (a la zangetsu's Gatsuuga)
Flash sword: Hitotsu channels large amounts of reiatsu into his right arm and can strike with the dragon slayer at great speed comparable to four times as fast and powerful as a regular swing from him for three strike per use.
Bankai
Activation Phrase: BAN-KAI!!!
Appearance: After he calls out his second release, Hitotsu's body is engulfed in a massive column of black light. When Hitotsu comes back into view, he looks like this
The dragon slayer although not losing much of its length, becomes much thinner and lighter in bankai form. Along with the huge boost in strength and speed gained in his second release, Hitotsu's familiarity of swinging around his swords much heavier shikai form allows him to swing his blade at extremely high velocities. The sheild he carries grants Hitotsu formidable protection against attack but has no ablilities of its own so is still vulnerable to the shortcomings of a regular sheild. The armor he wears offers him added protection and lends itself to his berserker style of fighting greatly although like the sheild it has no special abilities.
Abilities:
Korosu(kill)- Just a more powerful version of its shikai incarnation.
Flash sword: Faster,more powerful version of its shikai counter-part also able to use multiple sword strikes, unlike in shikai which limits the flash sword to three uses, in bankai Hitotsu is currently at seven strikes per use (planning on making it more eventually)
Grandou Sphere: Hitotsu's reiatsu forms a sphere around his body creating a defensive barrier able to block all but the most powerful kido and reiatsu based attacks. (Physical attacks work just fine.)
