Clothing and description: Kukai has a fairly athletic build which he maintains by training for two hours every night before bed. He weighs in at one hundred and forty three pounds, and is five feet seven inches tall. His complexion is slightly tan, with his muscle tone being just barely visible, but you know just by looking at him you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of his punches. His hair is jet black, and somewhat untidy, with several "spikes" jutting out and a white and black headband keeping his hair in order, and out of his face. His eyes are an azure color, that can change dramatically from being very kind to his friends, and extremely fierce when facing down an enemy. He wears a black t-shirt, with a gold medallion hanging around his neck, falling to rest over his shirt about in the middle of his chest. A ruby is set in the middle, with an onyx at the bottom left corner, the bottom right corner, and at the top. Each onyx is connected to the ruby by a thin snaking pattern that looks remarkably like scales. A white long-sleeve jacket is worn over his t-shirt, and almost never seen off of his back. Save for once in a while when he's relaxing at home. A simple silver band, with a white opal ring in the center is always worn on his left wrist. A pair of slightly worn blue jeans adorn his legs, with a slight rip on the right knee, and a black leather belt with a silver bucket holding them up. Finally a pair of white and black air speed sneakers are his preferred footwear.

His primary weapon form is that of a Blade Staff. The shaft is jet black, with the same gold scale pattern seen on his medallion snaking around it. There is a blade attached to either end of the shaft, both are exactly the same. Each blade is silvery white, and curved on both sides before tapering into a point, showing that both sides of each blade are sharp. The blade staff changes size depending on the Meister that wields him, but the blades are always roughly two thirds the size of the shaft and completely symmetrical to each other. As for his secondary weapon form, this is a Katar with a black mount and silvery white blades. Each blade is roughly the size of the wielder's forearm, from their elbow to their wrist, and jut out on either side of the fist. The base of each blade starts right where the end of the fist ends. The mount covers the wrist, protecting it from harm for the most part, and also covering part of the top of the forearm. The same gold pattern on the shaft of his blade staff form is also seen going from the base of each blade, and meeting down in a sort of spiral over the wrist.

When fighting on his own and only using his partial transformation, his entire right forearm transforms into the shaft, with the blade extending past his wrist and hand, or jutting down from his elbow like a tonfa.

History: Kukai was born into a family which was part of a gang. His mother and father weren't actually married, but they loved each other very much. Both his parents were weapons, albeit ones who were unskilled at fighting. His mother was a Katar, and his father was a Blade Staff. The Bloody Hearts, the gang his family was in was definitely the kind of gang that protected their own. Having around three dozen members total, they're territory was four streets wide and three long in downtown Tokyo. The gang leader was a strong man named Marik "The Bloodlord" Kariya, and was respected by every member of the gang, not feared like some gangs were run. As soon as Kukai was old enough, Marik himself trained him to defend himself out in the streets, and gave him the white headband that he wears today, marking him as a member of the Bloody Hearts.

By the time he was fourteen years old, he was able to best most gang members when it came to sparring, earning him the nickname "The Young Blood". He had a very eventful, but happy life with his parents, and his overall family that was the Bloody Hearts. His best friend was a young man named Issac, originally from America Issac came to visit Tokyo when he was very young, his parents were caught in the crossfire between a fight between the Bloody Hearts and the Eastside Sharks. The Sharks one the battle overall, but most of the gang was able to survive to live another day, some just barely. Marik himself found the huddled scared form of Issac and picked him up, bringing him back to the warehouse that served as the Bloody Hearts home. Issac was haunted by his parents for a long time before he met Kukai, in which the two became fast friends, causing Issac to open up.

Issac and Kukai always had the wildest adventures in the streets, of Tokyo, from outrunning the police, to carrying out missions to help the Hearts sustain themselves, to something as simple as getting some icecream. Whatever it was they were always together. Issac was actually the one who helped Kukai be able to transform for the first time, as his parents were unable to do so. So Issac became Kukai's very first Meister. Of course there were rumors everywhere about the Death Weapon Meister Academy, but for them it was only a dream. The two trained and fought together for two years both being around 16 now, before another battle broke out between the Hearts and the Sharks, in which Kukai was unable to protect Issac, and thus lost his friend.

With his dieing words, Issac thanked Kukai for being the best friend he had ever had, and gave him the medallion that he always wore. With tears pouring from his eyes, Kukai watched the life leave from his friend's eyes. Clenching his fists he glared after the retreating Eastside Sharks and ran after them, his forearm transforming into the blade staff. But before he could catch up with them, he heard sirens and looked back at the silhouette of his friend took a deep breath and said "I'll be back Issac...I will avenge you...one day."

Kukai returned to his home and told his parents he wanted to go to the DWMA. They just smiled at him and told him he had they're blessing. He visited Marik before he was too leave, and received the silver bracelet he carries on his wrist, the mark that he will always have a home with the Bloody Hearts.

After he arrived at Shibusen, he attended the academy for a year, having a few different partners here and there, but nothing really permanent. He knows that Issac would want him to move on and find a new partner, and so he will find a partner one day, but he will never forget his best friend Issac.

As of yet, Kukai has yet to collect a Kishin egg, he spent the entire first year at Shibusen training himself with help from the teachers so that when he was truly ready he could take on as many different types of missions as he could to be more helpful to Shibusen.

Personality: Kukai is a very easy person to get along with, despite his hard upbringing and the loss of some of his friends, and his best friend Issac, he's still able to find good in the world, and remain happy. If you can't live life to its fullest what's the point of living? That's how Kukai sees it. Generally being a friendly guy, Kukai is easy to make friends with. Though his street upbringing made him a little rough around the edges, and he always loves a good fight as much as the next guy.

Kukai is a real thinking. He will think and think and think and never get tired of thinking. Whether he's thinking about life, coming up with a story just for fun, thinking about his last, or next mission, the weather, or hell what he had for breakfast that morning. Whenever he gets the chance he spaces out and thinks. Unfortunately this also means he doesn't study much, though somehow he manages to scrape by with last minute studying and earn a passing grade every test. For some of his more a...mentally inclined classmates, they are bewildered just how he does it. Kukai's only response when they ask is a shrug.

Kukai will do anything to protect his friends, if it comes down to it he'd sacrifice his life for them. That's his job as a weapon. And he's vowed never to let another one of his friends die, after losing those in the Hearts, and of course Issac, he never wants to see that happen again.

When it comes to battle, Kukai is a fierce opponent, he'll make jeers at an opponent, whether he's winning or losing, nine times out of ten it keeps at least his own morale up, and depending on who he's partnered with, the meister's morale too.

Still having not found his "perfect match" he hopes one day to find a permanent meister that can help him become a Death Scythe.

Abilities:
Technique Name: Primary Transformation
Effects/Description: Kukai transforms into his Blade Staff form. It has a black shaft, with a gold scale design snaking up it. There is a blade attached to each end of the shaft. Each blade is silvery white, and curved on both sides before tapering into a point. They are roughly two thirds the size of the shaft each and are completely symmetrical to one another. The bladestaff changes size depending on it's wielder. Kukai can guide a meister to a certain degree when it comes to learning how to use him, but he's a very versatile weapon so he can be easy to use and become proficient with swiftly.

Technique Name: Secondary Transformation
Effects/Description: Kukai transforms into his Katar form. The black mount protects the wrist and hand, with two blades identical to the ones on his staff form, attached on either side of the where the hand grips the weapon. The bases of the blades begin at the end of the fist, and are roughly the length of the wielders forearm. Kukai's Katar form is designed for speed and accuracy. Unless you are an exceptionally fast meister (like specializes in speed tactics) you wouldn't be able to use this weapon form effectively. It is best used for piercing and stabbing attacks, however it will function as a slashing weapon if the need arises.

Technique Name: Partial Transformation
Effects/Description: Kukai can change his right forearm into his bladestaff form, having his whole forearm being the black shaft with the gold scale design, with his fist turning into one of the blades, which is just as long as his forearm.

Combat Style: Being a member of a gang, Kukai was raised on the streets and thus his fighting style reflects that. When he first arrived at Shibusen, he was outclassed all the time. But eventually he refined his technique and is now a very capable fighter.

When alone, Kukai starts with one style, and moves into another. At first he tries to use various kicks to distract the enemy and lower their defenses, before striking with his fist, the blade staff extended to try and finish it quickly. If this tactic doesn't work he'll rely solely on his blade staff to strike his opponent wherever he can get an opening in to try and weaken him at first, therefor making it easier to finish them later. This style also allows Kukai to leave an opponent alive if need be.

When combined with a meister, his Blade Staff form is an extremely versatile weapon, allowing his Meister to easily handle him and use a variety of different styles. From mainly using stabbing attacks like a spear, or acrobatic attacks utilizing the staff as a whole. His katar form is generally used when his meister is a speed based character, being light and quick it can dart past most defenses, but the wielder has to be just that; fast to use this form effectively. Mainly designed for stabbing, the katar form can perform slashing attacks if need be.

Miscellaneous Information: The medallion around Kukai's neck means the world to Kukai, as it was his best friend's before he died. It was given to Kukai when his friend was dieing in the street after being shot by an opposing gang.

Strengths:

  • Once he puts his mind to something, he tries his very hardest to carry it out. No matter what it is, whether it be a mission, or just making a sandwich.
  • Kukai has a flexible soul, so he can partner up with a variety of people. Though he is still looking for a more permanent meister.
  • Has a lot of stamina because of his uprising on the streets, so he can fight for a very long time. Because of this, when he is partnered with a meister, their stamina too is boosted because of the intimate connection a weapon and meister share.
  • Kukai has multiple weapon forms.
  • He also has a flexible wavelength.

Weaknesses:

  • Tends to space out a lot, meaning he can easily be ambushed, and thus is at a disadvantage against assassins.
  • Kukai believes in second chances, which can sometimes lead to him finding himself in compromising positions because he trusts people too much.
  • One of the few things Kukai truly fears is an opponent he can't see. What can he fight what he can't see?
  • Kukai is only slightly above average when it comes to speed, so if an opponent is a lot faster than him he'll be at a disadvantage. The one thing that's kept him from losing speed fights in the past (not that he's won all of them mind you!) is his sheer resilience.
  • He's generally an all around average fighter, not excelling at anything save his stamina really. So anyone that specializes in a certain area could have a distinct advantage over him.


Roleplay Sample: Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The sound of the bass from the headset around Yomosugara's neck throbbed as the Vizard bobbed his head in time with the tune.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

It was another boring day in the cathedral that served as the Masked Syndicate's headquarters. Yomo was, obviously...bored out of his mind as he listened to crappy punk music from the walkman on his belt.

Throb, throb, throb, throb.

The chirping of the annoying birds outside only served to heighten this boredom.

Click.

"Tch...this day sucks." Yomo moaned to himself in contempt as he switched the walkman off. It was a pleasantly sunny day, warm and happy with happy birds, and happy flowers, and happy bunnies, and happy...ness. "I hate this atmosphere!" He yelled into the massive ceiling of the cathedral. "Stupid...happy...ness...thing..." He grumbled to himself as he stalked out of the cathedral into the field stretching to one side of the Syndicate that often served as a training ground.

"I wonder what Barda's up too..." The Vizard said aloud in a bored tone. With his hands in his pockets, Yomo began walking across the field in search of his friend, when out of the blue an explosion interrupted his pleasantly boring day. "Now that's more like it!" He said with a grin and utilized a Shunpo to travel towards the explosion.

When Yomo arrived at his destination, he stood upon a jetty overlooking a field. In this field were the most uninteresting things he could imagine...Hollows...stupid...idiotic...hollows. This was the reietsu signature he sensed? "You've gotta be kidding me..." Another sigh escaped the Vizard's lips as he sat down cross legged to observe the tussle. One of them was beating the living crap out of the others, a long legged monstrosity that seemed to be weak enough for Yomo to take out with a well placed Centella...he glared with loathing at the weakling. Not because he was a hollow, but because when he thought he had something fun to do, it turned out it was a weak hollow with nothing special about it.

"Why me?" He asked himself, before leaping down into the field to face the now alone hollow. "Alright ya stupid bastard...time to go nighty night." Yomo said with out much feeling as he aimed the two fingers of his left hand at the Hollow in a "gun like" fashion. A crimson energy built up, and with a shrinking of his pupils to signify his concentration, the energy was released at the Hollow without any effort involved.

The Hollow disintegrated on the spot causing Yomo to sigh in disappointment. "Well that was easy...I thought it was gonna be a bit more a challenge than that." Suddenly a massive reietsu entered his sense and he grinned recognizing it as an Arrancar. "Oho! So you are the real energy signature I felt. The name is Yomosugara at your service." Yomo bowed with a charming grin spreading his lips.

Hi there Fire~ before I start modding I want to congratulate you on a very interesting character ^__^ well done. Kai was a pleasure to read!

Description
Could you please describe the weapons in more detail? This is especially important as you have no picture ^__^ for example, where do the blades attach to the staff? Is it like this? Do the blades hang off the staff like a wind-chime? You just need to be very specific so people (especially potential meisters) know what they are dealing with ^__^

History

This is well written. Nice work ^__^

Abilities

Could you please add in full descriptions for each weapon form / partial transformation

Strengths and weaknesses

It sounds from your combat style section that Kai is a good fighter. You might want to make sure your strangths and weaknesses reflect that. Having personality strengths and weaknesses is great, but this is also meant to show off combat strengths and weakness ^____^ stuff like being weak, slow, stupid... or fast, strong, nimble, quick witted. That sort of thing :3

Overall

This is a great start and no doubt Kai will be accepted very swiftly. It's great to see how much effort you have put into the profile so far :3 well done.

As a side note you may want to re-read our rules and guidelines.

This is looking good so I will accept now, but if he turns out to be too strong I might discuss a few modifications with you (I'm sure it won't happen). Feel free to join in the RPing ^__^ and good luck~
