Mdl. No. 00X "Burrito"
Name:
Oomoto (大元) Yamaki (山木)
Age:
Appears to be around 40 years old
Gender:
Male
Race:
Soul Reaper

Appearance:
Yamaki stands a little on the tall side at six-feet two with a strong build. Yamaki sports a short hair-cut with a slight brim at the front. Overall, Yamaki is known for a rather intimidating appearance with his height and build complimented by his constant 5-o'clock shadow, a nose that clearly has been broken at least once in its lifetime, dark eyes, and thicker eyebrows; all of this set on a face that looks like it was chiseled from a marble statue by an engineer rather than an artist. Precise and strong.

Backstory:
Yamaki's life before his death was not one of pleasantries. Growing in a long line of craftsmen, blacksmith, and carpenters; Yamaki's father and grandfather both were not pleased to find that their offspring had instead opted to become an industrial engineer. Following several jobs in trades and construction, Yamaki had finally gone through enough schooling and training to instead design and build the machines he had once worked on. Over his line of work, Yamaki became known for his schrewd eye for detail and often perfectionist attitude. Despite his success, Yamaki's family had no more interest in him as their child and grandchild.

Unfortunately, his personal life wasn't quite as prosperous and successful as his professional one. Very early on, Yamaki's wife passed away from a heart failure, leaving him to look after his son alone. Over the years, Yamaki's work life got worse and worse as other, more competitive and less ethical engineers sought his position and lead to his eventual termination. As new work and money became a harder to achieve goal, Yamaki looked towards more desperate means of providing for his only son. As each mistake piled up, matters only got worse as soon Yamaki's son's life was taken from him by the men he was looking to for help. Fairly soon, this lead to Yamaki's own death.

Flash forward to Soul Society, Yamaki had quickly became a respected member as a Reaper. With his strong spiritual abilities and his skills with tools and equipment, Yamaki's current position as captain of the 12th division was a sensible and obvious one. Despite now being in the afterlife, Yamaki still cannot find his son or his wife and hopes to find out exactly what happened to them.

Powers and Abilities:

  • Skilled Swordsman: Over his years as a Reaper, Yamaki learned the finer details of swordplay.
  • Kido: Yamaki is known for his master use of weapon-focused Kido, displaying great competence in several complex techniques.
  • Hoho: Yamaki is not particularly skilled at Flashstep himself, but sees little use for it.
  • Hakuda: Yamaki much prefers his weapon.
  • High Spiritual Power: As Captain of the 12th division, Yamaki is known for his strong spiritual power.
  • Strong Spiritual Control: A steadfast and careful mind is a successful one.
  • Good Spiritual Perception: Calculating and observant, it's often like this fighter is two steps ahead of his opponent.


Zanpakutou:
Kinsai (The Broken)
"Break! Kinsai!"
Spoiler: click to toggle

As a normal sword, Kinsai looks nothing more than a square blade, albeit one with a rusted edge and several notches. Transformed, the blade develops a more focused edge rather than a straight square, as well as a more reinforced and stronger frame along with red markings along the flat of the blade.

  • Migaku: For the next hit, the blade's markings glow a bright blue. The sword develops a dramatically sharper and tougher edge, allowing it to cut through very tough materials.
  • Wareru: For the next hit, the blade's markings glow a bright red. The sword develops a dramatically increased weight and hardness, allowing it to break and smash harder than a war hammer.
  • Mamoru: For the next move, the blade's markings glow a bright yellow. Generates a solid barrier of spiritual energy around the sword much like a large shield.
  • Hakka suru: Unleashes the golden light of a humanoid spirit who may wield this blade instead of the owner and fight in their place. Is linked to the sword and can only perform basic combat, but displays good speed, agility, and skill. Yamaki can still allow the spirit to perform the sword's special techniques, but must remained focused on the fight to some degree. The less focused, the worse the "avatar" of the blade may perform.
