My Captain's Profile :D! Ruka Kusabana!

(Thank you Dawning Dream for sending in your profile :D!)
Name: Ruka Kusabana

Age: None of your business! (appears 19)

Gender: Female

Height: 5'

Appearance: Ruka has mid-back length, brunette hair pulled back into a ponytail, and gray- green eyes. Her ears are pierced and she wears a pair of small gold earrings. She stands at an average height, her skin is slightly tanned and her small frame belies a wicked strength. She wears her captain's haori over her shinigami roves, sandals, and her sword is sheathed at her right hip.

Division: 9th; Squad Captain

Personality: Ruka is cheerful, loyal, fierce, sharp-tongued, mischievous, and a tad bit on the violent side. She dislikes formal titles and therefore addresses her fellow shinigami with either their first or last name. She's not much of talker unless the topic is one she enjoys, and she mostly keeps to herself around people she doesn't know. When in battle she has a very unnervingly focused look that sometimes frightens her sparring partners (though she herself never seems to notice it). Her Lieutenant, Raine, often finds himself facing her temper when he pranks her, and she enjoys sneaking up on him. Despite her gruff exterior Ruka is very sensitive and easily hurt by sharp comments; betrayal strikes her deeply. There is a rumor running around that she has a crush on Hitsugaya.

Items: She carries a small composition notebook with a pencil. Rarely, if ever, is she seen without it. No one knows what exactly it is she writes in there. She also carries around her katana.

History: Born in the human world, Ruka remember little to nothing before her death. Her last memory is that of two voices calling out to her, voices that she believes to have belonged to her parents. After her death and consequential Soul Burial, she was sent to Rukongai in an area of the South District. Sometime after her arrival, she encountered Jushiro Ukitake when she attempted to steal some of the food he had bought. He caught her, and when he asked her why she had stolen she said she was hungry; so he took her to The Academy and she began her training. It was there in the Academy that she learned, to get anywhere she had to work for it. Through her effort she was able to excel most notably, perhaps, in her ability for Hakuda. Her difficulty in mastering defensive Kido kept her a bit longer than she liked though. When she graduated she finally met the spirit of one who had watched over her since her parents death; her Zanpakuto, Suzaku. She joined the 9th Division, achieving her Bankai at a later time. She took the Captain Proficiency Test, passed, and was being considered for a different division when lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi, mysteriously disappeared. Consequentially, she was assigned as Captain of the 9th Division. At this very moment she works together with her Lieutenant, Raine Shiba, to find Shuhei Hisagi and to stop the threat of war looming on the horizon. A threat better known as Sōsuke Aizen.

Zanpakuto Information
----------------------------------

Name of Zanpakuto: Suzaku

Type: Fire

Zanpakuto Appearance: The sealed form is a regular katana. It has a golden hilt and it's guard is in the shape of a small flame. When the blade catches the light of the sunset or sunrise, flickering flames begin to reflect off the blade, and the edges begin to shimmer with heat.

Release Command: Burn

Shikai Appearance:The one katana turns into two, connected by a long golden chain. The hilts turns red and the guard is now far more ornate, in the shape of a flaming sun. The blades themselves are now the color of the sky during sunset and -despite their glasslike appearance- are strong enough to cut through almost anything.

Bankai Name: Hisaye Suzaku

Bankai Appearance: Her katana returns to it's sealed state. Eight katanas, the same as those she has in shikai, form hovering on her back in the shape of wings and enable her to fly. Behind her, Suzaku lets out a cry of greeting as she emerges from the flames as a phoenix. From here the attacks that may come vary.
Zanpakuto spirit appearance: Suzaku appears as a large red phoenix with orange eyes. During Muramasa's brainwashing of the Zanpakuto she takes on a human form. She has curly shoulder-length red hair and the same orange eyes.

Here is my layout for those who need an example: My character, Raine Shiba

Name: Raine Shiba

Age: Unknown (has the appearance of an 18 year old)

Gender: Male

Height: 5''9

Appearance: Has black wavy shoulder-length hair that is held back by a grey headband. A scar runs down his right eye. His skin is tan, and his overall body physique is athletic. He is usually shorter than most other shinigami, but he is an average height for most humans. He has some stubble, a very shaggy appearance. He wears an armband on his left upper arm and he is a member of the Shiba Noble Family. His eyes are a turquoise color, like Kaien Shiba. He wears the typical shinigami robes with a lieutenant's armband. He wears the typical sandals and his sword is holstered on his left hip.


Division: 9th, Squad Lieutenant

Personality: Very happy and optimistic, usually laid-back, and can usually be found sitting in front of the lake drinking tea while he watches the koi fish in peace. He is usually talkaive when among others, but is silent when serious, annoyed, busy, or unhappy in any way. He is very intelligent and cunning at times, but usually masks it, and can be found reading or participating in Byakyua's caligraphy classes. He can be very stubborn at times, not willing to take "no" for an answer, and enjoys adventure when the time permits. He finds pleasure in playing practical jokes on his captain, Ruka Kusabana, from time to time.

Items: He carries a small book in the folds of his robes, it usually changes from time to time (depending on what book he is reading), but when he has nothing else better to do, he can be found reading it or painting by the koi pond in Sereitei. He carries a sword and a few other necessary shinigami items.

History: Born as a member of the Shiba Noble Family, Raine quickly took up the tradition of becoming a shinigami like his deceased cousin, Kaien Shiba. As a child, he was trained in sword fighting and several different combat and leisure arts, such as sword training, hand-to-hand combat, and several lessons on painting. When he was considered "old enough" he trained in the Academy in Soul Soceity, an excellent student in most areas except kidou, which he required much work to sustain his overwhelming attacks. Much later, after he perfected most of his skills, gaining special training from Yourichi on shunpo, he became an excellent fighter for Sereitei. He was first introduced to his spirit within, his zanpakuto... Raito Hisui-Emerarudo. When Raine acheived Bankai, the higher ranking members of Sereitiei forbade him to use his bankai (as it was much too powerful and could kill almost anything.) He upranked quickly and over time, became a lieutenant of the 9th division after the disappearance of former ninth division lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi. During his time there, Raine was a very skilled fighter, especially when wielding his zanpakuto. To this day, he acts as a good sub-leader under the instruction of 9th squad captain Ruka Kusabana, hoping to find Shuhei Hisagi, and hoping to replenish the might of the 9th division.

Zanpakuto Information

-----------------------------------------------------

Name: Raito Hisui-Emerarudo

Type: Spirit Energy, Pure Green Plasma Light Energy.

Zanpakuto Appearance: A typical zanpakuto, with a green silk hilt grip on an ornate golden hilt with two crescent shapes in the cross-guard (handguard). His blade radiates light, so it has the appearance as if it is glowing. It gives off a slight green hue.

Release Command: Blind The Enemy

Shikai Appearance: The blade has the appearnce of literally melting on his hand until it reaches his hilt, it melts in to a liquid-like green plasma, that can be wielded in any direction the user moves it towards, this is much like the wave of an ocean, over whelming the opponent, as a blade cannot penetrate liquid. The green-like plasma eats off spirit particles, which means it will literally begin to eat off of the opponent's energy, and even thier bodies. It is a very acidic sword form, but it only functions properly in light, as it is recharged and reinforced by the energy provided by light.

Bankai Name: Akaruku Sukaizu Hisui-Emerarudo (Brighten the Skies Jade-Emerald)

Bankai Appearance: Same appearance as the Shikai, except the plasme surrounds the user and the opponent, and will literally penetrate the opponent and slowly absorb them to non-existance, using thier spirit particles to regenerate the user. This means that this zanpakuto can kill any living creature as long as it is in light. (Raine Shiba is forbidden to use his bankai for this purpose)
