Cat-Eared Complex Blitzkreig from the South
Name:
Katsu Dante (first name is adopted to fit in with the locals better)
Age:
Appears in his early 20's, but died in his late 60's. Has only been dead for nine years.
Gender:
Male
Race:
Soul Reaper
Position:
Captain of the 7th Division

Appearance:
Slightly shorter than average, average build, sleek musculature (think ‘swimmer’ rather than ‘wrestler’ for example). Black hair that could be described as ‘neatly messy’, with a rogue crescent-shaped ahoge at the back left of his head. Brown eyes and very exaggerated expressions. Despite his flashy personality, Katsu prefers to be dressed in monochrome colours. His general outfit of choice is a white button-up long-sleeved shirt and black jeans with a pair of black laced boots. He still finds the Japanese fashion styles uncomfortable and gets rather restless when forced into a gi or hakama.
Backstory:
"This is the end of my legend. I have no regrets." These were the last words that passed through Katsu's mind as he slipped into death. However, when he opened his eyes once more, he realised that his story was far from over. It has been nine years since that day, and he has since renewed his vow to become the strongest hero in the world (or the spirit world at least). Between training, slaying evil and causing his usual mischief, he hopes to distract himself from his ties to the living long enough to see his goals through.

Powers and Abilities:

  • Weapon Master - Katsu possesses an innate affinity for weapons, and can master forms of armed combat at a significantly faster rate that the average person (hence the reason he has a Bankai after eight years of training rather than ten).
  • Armour Breaker - Katsu has a knack for finding and exploiting weaknesses in enemy defences, and uses this skill in tandem with his formidable strength to overwhelm and shatter any protection from shields and armour to parries, formations and defensive structures.
  • Uncanny Intuition - As far as spiritual senses and intuitive ability goes, Katsu is highly sensitive to the point where, in a pinch, he can forego his physical senses and operate almost entirely on instinct and gut feeling. It is very difficult to catch him off-guard.
  • Poor Defensive Ability - Although Katsu is great at offense and evasion, he lacks ability when it comes to defensive techniques and isn't terribly great at taking hits. He runs on a philosophy of "just don't get hit" as a result.
  • Inept at Kido - Despite having decent spiritual power - and immense, highly visible fighting spirit - Katsu lacks the focus and aptitude to cast spells. It would take him another half century just to get the basics right, and it would come at the cost of his combat skills.

         Caladleif
         "Lend me the power of heroes once more! Roar, Caladleif!"
              Taking on a form halfway between myth and machine, Caladleif is a massive mechanical sword with an abnormally long hilt, about 2/3rds of the length of the blade. It possesses vents in the 'back edge' of the sword that release spirit particles in tremendous blasts, propelling the sword forward with great force and maximising its momentum almost instantly.

         Techniques
              Mountain Splitter: It is said that Caladleif once sliced off the tops of three hills in a single swing. While this weapon is a mere shadow of the original legend, it still retains some of its power. This technique allows the sword to cut through almost any material, and is one of the key contributors to Katsu's skill at foiling armoured opponents.
              Rainbow Severance: It is said that Caladleif left a rainbow-coloured trail in the air when swung, and could slay an entire army. While this weapon is a mere shadow of the original legend, it still retains some of its power. This technique functions as the typical 'Wave-Motion Blade' or 'Razor Wind' technique, giving Katsu's swings range and a potentially room-clearing area of effect. Naturally, the razor-sharp blast of energy the sword gives off when using this technique is rainbow-coloured.
