Ravana (Done)

[Ravana]

Name: Ravana
Age: appeares to be in his mid 20's
Gender: Male
Personality:

Despite having a serious appearance, Ravana is usually a nice guy. Because of his position as captain, he is serious when it comes to work, and holds his subordinates to a high standard. When he's not busy being a captain, Ravana usually acts more laid back, and can even be found relaxing whit his subordinates. When on a mission, Ravana usually keeps somewhat quiet, only saying what needs to be said until the mission is over, unless it is a longer mission. Ravana can also been seen as somewhat compassionate, although he tends to practice tough love, often allowing others to learn the hard way. He will, however, be there for them with support and advice.

During battle, Ravana is usually very serious, focusing mainly on the battle. Since he is a captain, he is much more aware of what is on the battle field, and prefers to fight away from anywhere that is too crowded or has too many trees and such. He is also very concerned about his comrades that may be fighting alongside him, and when fighting with them, he is usually noticeably less reactive to attacks directed at his own person. He does, however, tend to try and play this down, trying to hide his concern for his subordinates so that they can learn to fight for themselves and become stronger.

When it comes to the ladies, Ravana is usually unsuccessful when it comes to love, but usually makes friends with them easily. Though he may be a bit internally shy around girls, he does not usually show this in his attitude. When not working, Ravana prefers to sit and watch nature, or train. He also enjoys Sake and other alcoholic beverages when relaxing. His favorite food is dumplings, prepared almost any way. He enjoys training, reading, relaxing with his subordinates, and solving puzzles. He dislikes the arrogant people, leaving others behind, and spiders. His only true fear is not being strong enough to lead and protect his squad.

Ravana is the captain of the 3rd squad of the Gotie 13.

Appearance:

Zanpakuto Spirit:

Name: Raikou Jouten, Raida-Kaze (lit: Lightning god, Wind Rider)

Appearances: Ravana has one of the rarest phenomenons when it comes to his Zanpaktou spirit. Instead of the usual one spirit, Ravana has a twin Zanpaktou (two Zanpaktous, like Shunsui, even in his unreleased state) and two Zanpaktou spirits. This is evident in the name of Ravana's Zanpaktous. The first of the spirits takes the shape of a large purple casket with a gold trim while Ravana is in his sealed state. Around the area where the head might lay, there is an oni-demon mask. The mask is the traditional evil looking one with scowl and horns. This spirit is Raikou Jouten. The second spirit takes the form of a light green casket with a silver trim while Ravana is in his unreleased state. It too has an oni-demon mask in the same place, however it's mask has a wicked grin on it. This spirit's name is Raida-Kaze. The caskets each represent the spirit's powers being sealed. In his Shikai, one of the caskets may be opened at a time, representing which element is dominate. Raikou Jouten, when released from the casket, takes the form of a large man, his lower body being a storm cloud that has thunder and lightning. He has a purple/blue tone to his skin color, and his torso is clad in traditional samurai armor. His head is the oni-demon mask that is on his casket. Raida-Kaze, when released, takes on the form of a large man as well, his lower body, however, being a tornado. His skin has a light greenish tone to it and his torso is also clad in traditional samurai armor. His head is the oni-demon mask that is on his own casket. While in his Shikai, each one has the others casket on their back, like a backpack. In his Bankai's release, both spirits are present, no longer having to fight over dominance. While they are both out, they have their own caskets on their backs.

Personalities:
Raikou Jouten: Raikou is a serious spirit, as shown by the expression on his oni-demon mask. He has a deeper voice and tends to speak as if he is royalty. He is also a bit arrogant, which often get's on Ravana's nerves, as he dislikes arrogant people. However, Raikou is strong enough to back up his arrogant claims. He treats battles like one would expect a samurai to, with honor, dignity, and by going full strength. He usually comments that Ravana is too kind hearted, but he would stand behind him and his ideas till the end.

Raida-Kaze: Kaze is a much more light hearted spirit, as shown by the grin on his oni-demon mask. He has a lighter and higher pitched voice, and enjoys to speak in riddles and jokes. He is more of a foolish type, which can sometimes get on Ravana's nerves as he is most usually a very serious person. Despite this, Kaze is very strong, and can be more serious when the situation warrants. Kaze also fights as a samurai would, however, he usually prefers to toy with his opponents. He usually comments that Ravana is too serious, but would stand behind him till the end.

Inner World: Ravana's inner world takes the form of a vast field of tall grass. It is similar to the fields seen in older Japan. The sky is, however, covered by dark storm clouds, and there is always a breeze blowing, varying from weak to strong.

Sealed Zanpakuto:

As stated before, Ravana has a twin Zanpaktou, even in his sealed state. His first sword, the sword he carries in his right hand, is Raikou Jouten. It is a bit longer than the standard Zanpaktou, but not by much. It's sheath is deep purple with a gold trim (similar to it's spirit forms casket). On the sheath, there is the kanji "雷", which means lightning, in gold writing, representing the spirit's element. The second sword, Raida-Kaze, is used in his left hand (each sheath is on the side corresponding to which hand it is used in, worn under his belt). It's sheath is light green in color and has a silver trim (similar to it's spirit forms casket). On the sheath, there is the kanji "風", which means wind, in silver writing, representing the spirit's element. The blades of each sword are steel silver in color, including the back of the blade (which is usually black on most Zanpaktous).

Shikai Description:

Name: Raikou Jouten, Raida-Kaze (lit: Lightning god, Wind Rider)
Release Phrase: "Split the heavens and strike the earth, Raikou Jouten, Raida_Kaze!"

Appearance: In it's Shikai release, Ravana's two Zanpaktou's both change shapes, as well as which hand they are weld in. In his Shikai, Ravana holds Raikou Jouten in his left hand and Raida-Kaze in his right. in it's Shikai, Raikou Jouten takes the form of a Japanese longsword with a prong jutting out of the blade, like in this picture

put longer. It also has a cord that extends from the bottom of the swords hilt and wraps around his shoulder. He also wears a special glove on his left hand (which is part of his Shikai). Raida-Kaze, in it's Shikai, takes the form of a curved scimitar, similar to this one.


Element: Each blade has it's own element, Raikou Jouten being lightning, or electricity; and Raida-Kaze being air, or wind. Each blade gives him control over it's own element, however, in his Shikai, Ravana cannot use their powers in a combined attack. He can use both of the in succession, but not together, like as in making a tornado that also has electricity. Because of the nature of his Shikai, only one of his two spirits can be in control; the one in control greatly increasing the strength of it's element. Because of this, anyone who is adept at sensing reatisu would be able to tell that his two elements are in a constant struggle.

Shikai Abilities:

Enhanced Strength
Ravana receives a boost of strength in his Shikai, just like any other shinigami.

Enhanced Speed
Ravana receives a boost of speed in his Shikai, just like any other shinigami.

Wind Manipulation
By drawing a circle with Raida-Kaze, Ravana can shoot a gale whirlwind (appears to be a tornado) at his opponent. If he draws it out infront of himself, the gale whirlwind will automatically shoot out horizontally at his opponent. If drawn on the ground, a circle with the kanji "風" will appear on the ground. these one's are not activated immediately, and are either activated by Ravana or when his opponent steps or hovers over the circle. Ravana has complete control of the direction the gale whirlwinds travel after he makes them, however, they usually only last for 5 to 10 seconds after being made.

Lightning Manipulation
By aiming Raikou Jouten at his opponent, or anywhere for that matter, he can shoot a bolt of lightning/electricity at where ever he is aiming. The bolt is very quick and precise, and can even stun his opponent for a brief ammount of time, about 5 to 10 seconds. Ravana can also call down lightning bolts from storm clouds, but in his Shikai, he does not yet have the ability to create them, as that would be combining the two elements.

Kaze-Ken (lit Wind Blade)
By compressing the air around the blade of Raida-Kaze and adding his own reatisu, Ravana can swing the sword and shoot a blade of compressed air at his opponent. Size wise, the blade created is about the size of Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho, but is almost transparent in color, only having a faint green tinge to it. It is very fast and powerful, but can only be created directly from Raida-Kaze's blade.

Energy Absorption
By blocking an opponents attack with Raikou Jouten, including energy/element/reatisu attacks, Ravana can absorb some of the energy from the attacks and have it transfer from the sword, through the cord, and get stored in his glove. Ravana can use the energy he absorbs to supplement and increase the powers of his own lightning/electric powers. However, since he cannot combine the elements yet, Ravana can only use this stored energy to strengthen his lightning/electric abilities.

Bankai Description:

Name: Raikou Jouten, Raida-Kaze, Shokou no Arashi (lit: Lightning god, Wind Rider, Lords of the Storm)

Appearance: Ravana's Bankai is very different from most other Bankai's, as it's main form is a compression of his two swords. In his Bankai, Ravana must remove his captain's hyori and the top half of his robes. The first thing noticed is that his torso is covered by a cloth bandage-like wrap. On his back, he wears a generator-like pack on his back.
(It is similar to this one, but the coils are a bit smaller)

The generator acts as Raikou Jouten did in his Shikai, allowing Ravana to absorb the energy from his opponents attacks. However, in his Bankai, Ravana can absorb the energy from where ever it hits, is stored in the armor on his two arms, and can be used to strengthen both of his elements.
He also has a close fitting armor that covers both of his arms, all the way up to his shoulders. The armor is gold in color with a silver trim. Finally, His two blades are only two hilts, resembling their respective hilt from their sealed forms. He wears the two by chains that attach to his sash-like belt. In his Bankai, Ravana once again wields Raikou Jouten in his right hand and Raida-Kaze in his left. Although initially neither of the hilts have a blade, Ravana can create the blades at will. Raikou Jouten's blade is made up of compressed electrical energy as well as some of Ravana's own reatisu, making it solid. Just being hit by the blade is equivalent to being struck with a bolt of lightning. Despite the make-up of the materials, the blade is solid and strong, just as strong as any other blade material. Raida-Kaze's blade is made up of compressed air, along with some of Ravana's own reatisu, and makes it solid. Just being hit by the sword is equivalent to being in a tornado. Despite the make-up of the materials, the blade is solid and strong, just as strong as any other blade material. Ravana can also combine the two blades, creating one large sword made up of both compressed electricity, air, and some of his own reatisu. Despite it's larger size, the blade is very light to wield.

Elements: Ravana's Bankai has the same elements as his Shikai, however, since both spirits are allowed to be dominate, both elements receive a large increase in strength and can now be used together. ravana's skill in hand-to-hand also increases to advanced while he is in his Bankai.

Bankai Abilities:

Enhanced Strength
Ravana receives a boost of strength in his Bankai, just like any other shinigami. It is much greater than the boost he receives in his Shikai.

Enhanced Speed
Ravana receives a boost of speed in his Bankai, just like any other shinigami. It is much greater than the boost he receives in his Shikai.

Enhanced Wind Manipulation
In his Bankai, Ravana can manipulate the wind much easier and in new ways. To summon a gale whirlwind now, all he has to do is shoot it from either of his hands or Raida-Kaze. The gale whirlwinds are also much stronger.

Enhanced Lightning Manipulation
Ravana can now use his lightning attacks with much more efficiency, and can fire bolts of lightning/electricity from either of his hands or from Raikou Jouten. The bolts are much stronger and quicker.

Cloud Control
By combining both the elements of his two swords, Ravana can now summon giant storm clouds to cover the sky wherever he is fighting. Although they produce no rain, Ravana can call down giant bolts of lightning from them to attack his opponent, allowing him much more versatility while attacking.

Enhanced Kaze-Ken
Instead of being formed from Raida-Kaze, Ravana can now create the Kaze-Ken blades from anywhere around his body and fire them in any direction. These blades are very quick, powerful, and hard to see, as they are mostly transparent, only having a light green tinge to them. Ravana can also use ground up metal shards 9which he keeps in a pouch under his belt) with this ability to have the shards shot at his opponent along with the wind. Along with causing more damage, the metal shards will embed themselves into whatever they hit, making it easier for Ravana to hit his target if the are embedded into it.

Enhanced Energy Absorption
Because of the generator-like pack on his back, Ravana can now absorb the energy from his opponents attacks no matter how he blocks them. The energy is collected in the generator pack and is transferred to the armor on both of his arms. Since his two elements can now work together, Ravana can use this energy to strengthen both of his elements and their attacks. Because of this, and the compressed size of his Bankai, Ravana can keep up his Bankai for much longer than most shinigami.

Summoning Electric Generators/Coils
In his Bankai, Ravana is able to summon up giant electrical generators from the ground. They are shaped like the coil-like ones on his pack, but are much larger. Using these, Ravana can shoot out bolts of electricity at any opponent within the generators range. By using multiple ones, Ravana can even create a prison made out of electricity to contain his opponent. The key to breaking out of the prison is to break the generators. However, the fewer generators Ravana makes, the stronger each individual one is.

History/Background:

Ravana was born in one of the lower Rukongai districts of the Soul Society. He never had any parent figures, and so had to fend for himself and and matured very quickly. As he grew older, Ravana himself became sort of an older brother-like figure to some of the other orphans of the Rukongai districts where he lived. Because of this, he also trained to become strong enough to protect thoes who looked up to him. As he continued to grow, Ravana noticed more and more a desire to become a shinigami. He had always wanted to become one, but he had always been busy taking care of himself and the others. Now, however, he decided to actually apply himself.

After another year, Ravana took the entrance exams to enter the shinigami academy. Despite not being as good in kido as some of the other applicants, he was already very good at sword and hand-to-hand fighting, and showed great potental, which was enough to get him in. Once in, Ravana had a sense of duty to attain high marks in all areas of study. Because he had matured quickly, he was able to accel in his studies. He was easily able to pass, graduate, and even land himself a seated position in a squad.

During his time at the Shinigami Academy, Ravana first met his two Zanpaktou spirits. Although at first, he didn't get along with them at all, disliking their personalities, he quickly learned to get along with them and trust them while fighting. Because of the rarity of his spirits, Ravana was seen as an oddity, and was somewhat distant from some of the others.

After graduating, Ravana entered the 3rd Squad, back before Aizen's defection, under Gin, and even attained a seated position, 7th seat. Durring his time as 7th seat, Ravana continually proved his worth to his captain and to the rest of his squad. Despite what others may have thought about his captain, Ravana was very loyal to Gin, at least while he was his captain. Because of this loyalty and him constantly proving his worth, Ravana was quickly promoted up the "ladder", attaining the 3rd seat of the 3rd division. He attained this rank shortly before Gin defected from the Soul Society.

The night Gin defected, after his fight with Hitsugaya, Ravana also confronted him. At first, Gin tried to lure Ravana into joining him (though this was just a trap to get him out of the way). Although Ravana was loyal to his captain, he had a higher sense of duty towards the Soul Society. He then drew his sword and was prepared to stop his captain. However, ravana was easily outmatched, being beaten by just one attack from Gin's Shikai. Gin chose not to kill Ravana, as that would have cost him even more time, and just left him there wounded. As he lay there, waiting for one of the 4th squad medics, Ravana swore to himself that he would become stronger, even stronger than Gin, and lead his squad, the 3rd squad.

After recovering, Ravana began training to take over the 3rd squad, even achieving Bankai in this amount of time (as he had already been training for years). Before the "Winter War" with Aizen, Ravana took the captains proficiency test and passed, beating both Kenpachi and Byakuya to pass. However, because of the state of the 3rd Division, Ravana stayed back to defend the Soul Society in case Aizen attacked it and to begin reforming his squad. Because of this, he was not able to battle Gin on the field and test the effects of his training.
