Kasakōken, Chikiku's Zanpaktou. Available for RP.

Reiatsu Color: White
Zanpaktou: Kasakōken
Power Word: Divert
Element: Wind
Shikai:

The zanpaktou grows a long rod, or pole with many blades sprouting from the tip and angling backwards
like a fan. The tip is like a spear, the blades can deploy like a fan, and redirect the flow of energy.
This doesn't work on kidou applied directly to the user's body. The blades can also detach and be used
like a separate weapon. Handles are on the ends of the umbrella blades, and the polearm.

Bankai: Chūseki Kasakōken (cornerstone of the guardian umbrella)

A massive unbreakable pillar appears behind the user. Giant blades also appear around the user's body and
the pillar. They hover in mid air around her, and move as she moves. She can use them to attack and defend,
as well as channeling reiatsu and amplifying it many times over. The giant blades that orbit the pillar can
fly directly to her position for her to use. However she can only handle the blades floating around her body.

However, the longer the fight goes on, the more energy she redirects, and the blades absorb. If any of the
floating blades around the pillar hit anything after storing up so much energy, it will discharge extremely
powerful energy attacks. The energy conversion rate during bankai is rather extreme, so even a small amount
of the opponents energy becomes a large attack. The conversion rate increases with Chikiku's own power and
experience over time.

Special Attack: Tengoku Genzai (divine current) - external and enemy energy can be channelled around the
blades, redirected. Can be mixed with own energy for dramatic power boost, with cutting wind-like attacks.

Chikiku in her gigai.

Chikiku was delivered to soul society 118 years ago with her brother. Her mother and father died separately in
the living world at the time and got separated as well. Originally Chikiku and her brother were delivered to a
Rukongai district, number 26. They had to make a name for themselves in this area, helping people. It was a more
middle class district with nothing special, but there was still crime. She worked serving tea while her brother
learned how to use a weapon, protecting one of the leaders of the district.

Eventually her brother was kidnapped, forcing Chikiku to try and search for him on her own. Her desperation helped
her find her spiritual powers, but as she searched she never found her brother. Eventually she joined the 13 court
guard squads academy as a way to try and track him down. She graduated easily, and wound up serving under Captain
Kuchiki. She built her spirit energy, and with lots of hard work, the asauchi she got from her brother would become
her zanpaktou. She would find out how to commune with her Zanpaktou, eventually learning even Bankai. However, she
wasn't ambitious, and the abilities of the captain and vice captain were good distractions to keep attention focused
away from her while she could try finding her brother. She knows he's alive somewhere, after all...

Despite learning Shikai and Bankai, she didn't achieve either until after she had graduated from the academy. She did
have her Zanpaktou before entering - which helped her get accepted, but beyond that showed only small potential.
Chikiku was content to train by herself most of the time, spending some time with squad mates, but not a lot. Even
after she achieved Shikai, she kept it secret, and kept training. The same was true with her Bankai. She kept it
secret, because she wasn't confident in her ability to be an officer, and didn't want to subvert any of the 2nd or 3rd
seat squad members' pride (even if most of them could already use Bankai as well).

Summary: worked in Rukongai 26, brother went missing, joined Gotei 13 to look for him.
Personality: quiet, passionate, avid reader, prone to keeping lose plans, and restyling her hair. Always hungry.
