||Appearance||::Physical Description::
Kyoko's general appearance is nothing to scoff at. Many having commented that she is quite the attractive young woman, although she does not believe a single word of this. The first aspect to catch anyone's attention is her hair, it's colorization that of the purest white; being compared to snow itself. The other noticeable trait is that of her eyes, different from many around here. Colored golden, no one knows how Kyoko ended up which such a unique eye color and that includes herself. Her skin tone is normal for her nationality, that being Japanese, although a bit paler than most. She does tan quite easily, much to her own dislike.
Most of the time, Kyoko remains dressed in Gigai clothing as she seems to prefer this over other styles. Whatever her attire, be it human clothing or not, most of the time this female is seen in backless attire. Why? Well only she knows that. When not in Gigai clothing and within her normal spiritual form, Kyoko can be see in a normal sleeveless Shihakushō. On top of this whatever her clothing, Kyo wears a deep red armband across her left arm, from her wrist to her elbow which is tightly secured there. No one seems to know what is underneath the armband, as she never takes it off, even in sleep. But the fact that it is there seems important to her.

- Current Appearance:
||Personality||::Positive Aspects::
Determined
If determination alone could win wars, Kyoko would have won all of those wars single-handedly. Once she has her mind set on a goal, there is little anyone can do to stop her. This aspect mainly shows within battle, despite any kind of odds, she keeps on going. Even if this as a result, ends with her death which it nearly has done on a number of occasions. Kyoko is well known to keep working on something when she has no need to, simply because she is determined to finish whatever it is she puts her mind to. When Kyoko is in this state of mind, overs seem to say it's best to just leave her be until she calms down.
Calm
If there's one thing that is never shaken, it is this female's calm demeanor. Regardless of the situation, she never seems to loose her temper. Which in turn, seems to annoy others, although she tries to avoid this outside of battle. When working with others normally, even if being attacked she remains calm, this then allowing her to think calmly and carefully before moving forward. Even if pushed, the most that seems become of it, is Kyoko becoming more frustrated then angry overall. So far. only a handful of people have seen this young woman lose her cool.
Kind
Being kind is not something may see Kyoko as, but she is. To the select few who know her well enough, they know at her core, she is a very kind and caring person. Happily willing to do something for others she is close to, or helping when she can. This seems to come out even more and becomes visible to others around young children, as they seem to like her as much as she enjoys being around and talking to them. For those who earn her trust, you can be assured that Kyoko will make sure you're alright.
Intelligent
The word 'intelligent' doesn't seen to do this young woman justice. Although she doesn't think it true, many say she is a very smart and capable woman. She notices just about everything given the observation time required to make an accurate deduction about a situation. She is able to also work out an opponent's movements and attack patterns once having fought with them for a short while, although with some this is harder than others. When not training or doing something important, this woman seems to pass her spare time by reading, which normally ends up as research and as a result; knowledge. She is fluent in both Japanese, English and Chinese, due to living in Shanghai, China within the World of the Living for some time.
Polite
Regardless of her upbringing, Kyoko remains to polite to many that she meets. Even those she has somewhat of a dislike for. Normally this female remains polite to most, especially those in higher rank to her own, which seems to be growing fewer and fewer by the year. Around friends she seems to be more casual, it is only around anyone she may be intimate with that she seems to use only a person's first name. But that type of person within her own life is very rare indeed.
::Negative Aspects::
Shy
Despite her positive traits, Kyoko when confronted with something embarrassing or around those she seems to like. She becomes quite closed off, and tends to look away quite a lot more. When in such a state, she seems to become quite flustered and easily angered, blushing very frequently and denying anything that has to do with her own embarrassment. Many have found that embarrassing Kyoko, is one of the few ways to provoke a negative reaction from this female.
Detached
Despite being an excellent leader and follower as well, Kyoko never has been a fan of big crowds or large amounts of people around her either. She seems rather detached around many people, unless having opened up to them. Only then will she speak freely and without regret. She tends to observe much more than she does join in, if you want to find Kyoko in a crowd. Look towards the back, away from all others, you would find her there. She isn't one as a result for being the center of the attention, despite having to lead others, that is about as far as she will go with the matter.
Overcritical
Kyoko is always looking for ways to improve her own self, and as a result she becomes overcritical of her own abilities. Always thinking that she needs to improve, in her younger days having passed out due to overworking due to her own self-desire to grow stronger. No matter her skill in something, Kyoko never thinks it to be enough in her own mind. More than once, she has had to be ordered to stop by those of higher rank before she collapses from exhaustion. Even finding faults with her own self that are not even there, although this aspect mostly only applies to herself in battle. It seems no matter what, Kyoko is never happy about her performance in battle or socially either.
Harsh
Be it around others, or towards herself. Kyoko is very harsh when it comes to others around her, unless in a social situation. When training others, many have said her methods are cruel and somewhat ruthless. She pulls no punches whatsoever when fighting, and trains others how she was trained herself. So it's no surprise not many want to fight her. When needed Kyoko can also be harsh towards others verbally to get a reaction of some kind, this shows even more so when angered so if angered, this is when she holds nothing back.
Reserved
Over recent years despite finding it easier each day to talk to others freely and casually Kyoko is even now, not one to show her true emotions at all. Very very rarely she does open up to anyone, or share her true opinion or feelings on any subject. She seems to think it best this way, so that her real emotions aren't involved of the situationShe wear if something happens to someone she knows. Despite not letting others in, Kyoko secretly would love someone she could simply trust and not have to worry about being around, no matter who they are.
||Extras||
- Kyoko is Ambidextrous (Right-Hand Preference).
- Kyoko is fluent in Japanese, English and Chinese.
- Kyoko is quite the expert at the Cat's Cradle Game.
||Roleplay Sample||
There was nothing Kyoko loved more than a cold winter's morning. She wasn't a summer person at all, nor was she overly fond of spring or autumn either. But maybe that was her simply being picky. Things in the mornings rarely remained this quiet, so it was always best to enjoy the peace while you could. You certainly didn't get it forever that was for certain. So when she had woken up early for a change, and with no other Shinigami in sight, Kyoko had decided for herself to take a short stroll before the entire Seireitei woke up and disturbed her peace and quiet. The cool brisk air was always calming to her, even when within Rukongai it was nice. There one moment and gone the next, like a fleeting snowflake. But who was she to be coming up with various metaphors in her head this early in the morning, it was far to early to be doing things like that.
Only moments later did the sun pass the horizon, dawning into a new day. It wasn't without perfect timing that her Zanpakutō commented on how poetic she seemed to be this morning. Ignoring and shrugging off the comment as that was the least of her own personal issues today, the whole Soul Society slowly waking up. She supposed it was time to start heading back, trudging her heels and turning around. The white haired Shinigami began the slow journey back to her Squad. After all, who would want to return to stacks and stacks of paperwork, leaving nothing but writing to do all day. How very boring. Boring, yes. Worth forgetting? Most likely. But unlike most others, she wasn't the kind to slack off on her work, even if she did look like a young child and as such many expected her to not bother. Did she do what others expected? Of course not!
Rounding the next corner as her thoughts turned to the peace that remained, she sighed lightly. Reaching her office, everything was still as quiet as ever, and Kyoko was quite surprised that no one had noticed her little disappearance, even this early in the morning. After all, she had left her haori laid across her desk chair before she left. Hm. Something was up, and she didn't like it. It was a little too peaceful even now, sitting down, Kyoko knew it was best to make a start on her work for the day. She'd have a lot more of this stuff by lunchtime after all. It remained quiet for around another ten minutes, maybe a little more or less, she couldn't be short. It was only then did her office door open to reveal her Lieutenant - Kira Izuru. Who seemed to be quite out of breath. Geez, what now? Glancing up from the papers before her she spoke.
"Something wrong Kira?"
Her tone remained calm and quick, something clearly was if he came rushing to her office like this. Without speaking, the Lieutenant merely stepped to one side, allowing Kyoko to see just what was going on behind him. Shinigami of the Sanbantai rushing about, either trying to escape a food fight that had broken out from the Sanbantai Dining Hall, or join in. Eyebrow twitching slightly at the sight, she quickly stood up. So much for the peace and quiet today.

| ||Background/History|| - Spoiler:
A New Life [1495 - 1580] (Age: 85)
When this young soul woke up, it was in a place she had never been in before, everything looked strange and foreign to her, something she didn't like at all. Where this young soul had woken up was in fact the 64th district of North Rukongai. Not that she knew that, this girl now just a soul remembered nothing about her past life. All she had appeared to be some kind of ticket that showed her time of death, which was a shock in itself. She was... dead? Well it did explain why she was in a place she didn't know of, or didn't really like for that matter. Still, that didn't explain the loss of her entire memory.
However for the time being, she put the matter to one side. This wasn't the time to be trying to think about the past and regain her memory. She was hungry for god's sake! And so leaving the dark and horrid alley she had arrived in. This now nameless girl went in the search for food, water and maybe somewhere to call home. Boy was it harder than she ever expected it to be. The streets and people were ruthless! Fights breaking out daily before her eyes, having to steal and snatch what she could to keep on living. Although she was quickly finding that having long hair in a place like this, was not very helpful at all. So after just a week or what she considering a week there, the young girl had cut her hair short. Allowing for a better chance to grab things and not trip up on her own hair, or get it caught in something either. The days continued endless, seemingly never ending. This young soul fighting for everything she had, food, water, the clothes on her currently small stature, but throughout it all she kept going. Getting into various fights in the process, but that was how Rukongai worked. She would get used to it, or so she hoped.
Eighty five years had passed relentlessly, the soul in question had no idea of the time that had passed, she simply continued living from one day to the next. The streets of Rukongai took their toll on her, however she managed to make it through. By this point used to the life of the district, avoiding fights when and where she could, although that wasn't always possible. However, this young souls's luck was about to change drastically and for the better too. After a rather successful grab of food and a bottle of water, she was feeling great. It meant she had food for at least a few days at least. A few hours after this event, alone within one of the side streets of the district, right near the edge and thus close to the main street. She was soon found by a kind woman, who seemed to want to help her, which was quite strange. At first she was quite weary of the woman, however the woman in question showing she wasn't armed and that she did really want to help. The young soul followed the woman, into a small house that wasn't that far away. It was a few days after living with the woman alone, that this young girl managed to recall her own name or what she thought it was. It would seem that in the company of another, she had remembered that if nothing else. Now for once, she had a name. Kyoko.
It wasn't longer after that, a few weeks maybe. That a strange man arrived within the small home that Kyoko, or Kyo for short and as she had learned the kind lady Yoko had lived in. At first she was very defensive trying to punch the rather tall male straight in the gut for daring to come in here, but she was quickly assured by Yoko that this man meant no harm and that he in fact was her husband. It did take a little while, but like with Yoko. Kyo had slowly learnt how to trust the pair of them, coming to see them as something similar to parents in a way. All in all, at the moment. Kyo as a soul could not ask for much more. Yet once again fate was about to cause this happy scene to come to a tragic end, one no would would expect. And an event that would change young Kyoko's life, forever. Taken Too Soon [1580 - 1620] (Age: 100)
It had been a long eleven years with the couple, with Kyo feeling right at home and just happy to be there. Helping out when she could, doing what she could to protect them both. Slowly building up strength as she still fought every so often, although both Yoko and her husband advised Kyoko against it, then again no young girl like her never listened. Did they? No child ever listened, but the event that was yet to come was not even the small girl's fault. No, it was no one's fault. Just something that happened, something that never should to anyone, and yet it did.
It was just like any other day when it happened, Yoko rushing around the small house to get dinner ready. Kyoko also doing the same, now trying to help her mother as best she could. Which wasn't great, but it was better than nothing at the very least. While Yoko had forbid her husband from entering or going anywhere near the kitchen, having told Kyo that he was a terrible cook which only made her giggle at the little fact. But this fun was short lived, sadly. As they all sat down for dinner, one moment it was peaceful the next? BAM! An explosion blowing away the front part of their small house, turning their few small rooms into ruin within seconds. The only room left, being the one they all sat in, although now Yoko and her husband stood, looking terrified. While Kyoko seemed to huddle up against the wall, very afraid of what was going on, or about to happen rather.
Emerging through the smoke was a single male, dressed in black robes, a single katana in his right hand. A shinigami. Yoko had told Kyoko about them before, powerful people who lived in the Seireitei and protected this world with powers no one in Rukongai could ever even dream of having. But that wasn't the point right now, what none of them knew, was the small fact that this shinigami was a rouge, being hunted down by others and on what many would consider a rampage. Kyo simply huddled up within that corner, eyes wide open. Ebony black hair falling into her face, Yoko's husband someone she counted as a father over the years. Ran forward, grabbing the nearest thing that could be considered a weapon and aiming to strike down the shinigami. Both Kyoko and Yoko screaming at him to stop, but like normal the man didn't listen. The shinigami in question however seeing this only seemed to grin, batting away the pathetic wooden weapon with the backside of his blade. Before anything else could even be done, the shinigami had stabbed her father through the heart, twisting the blade in the most painful manner possible. Kyo covered her ears, not wanting to hear this but not being able to look away either, after doing something similar to Yoko, she continuously shook her head. Willing it to just be a dream, a terrible, horrible nightmare. But it wasn't, no it was real.
This shinigami had hurt them, the only people she could have ever trusted. The only people she considered parents to her, this couldn't be happening, it just couldn't be. Could it? No, NO! That was what Kyo screamed at the shinigami, scrambling to her feet and darting forward towards him, an anger overtaken her that she had never felt before. An unknown power surging within her body and expanding outwards, in a blinding white aura, that power was reiatsu/reiyoku and quite a bit of it by the feeling. Just by that power alone the shinigami fled, as Kyo would later find out he was found and captured again, but escaping once more shortly after this. Yet after such a power being released, she blacked out, rubble falling and covering her from view. The life she knew now gone, her parents dead. Her world was about to change.
She didn't know how much time had passed, and she didn't think to care either. Waking up in a whole with very little light, apart from a few small parts when it sneaked through Kyo was in darkness otherwise. But from a small piece of broken glass to her right, she didn't fail to see the change. Her hair.... had changed color? What in the world. Kyoko over a few hours slowly came to the conclusion that the strange feeling she felt before was the cause of it. It had to be. However, everything looked different, the world was black and white, there was no color. Looking again she found very eyes to be the color of blood, very quickly moving away. What on earth!? But as if a veil had been lifted from her vision, she could see fully again. The light still appeared the same, only with a blue tint around it. The color of hatred. An inner voice told her. Just what was gong on here?
Little did the young white haired female know, there were people nearby. Although she could not sense them, or their color, yet. However soon Kyo would find light flooding around her, as the wood she was kept trapped in now destroyed by what appeared to be someone running off quickly. She blinked, light golden eyes slowly adjusting to the new light. Without thinking, Kyo slowly began to shift and stand up. Her body bruised and beaten, she looked terrible, but her eyes could only focus on one thing at that moment. It was only then looking around briefly, she saw that the entire small village like area in a small part of the 64th district of North Rukongai. Had been totally wiped out, there was nothing left... but ruin.
It wasn't long after this horrible event, Kyoko knew she had to find someway to fight back and get out of this place many called home, To her, it was just a dump. Despite her difficulties, Kyo slowly regained her energy a few weeks later; with food, water and now money. Only then did Kyo begin to feel like herself again. Once having worked honestly for a few more months, things were certainly looking up. After such an event, Kyoko knew she now had a drive, to find who hurt those closest to her. Yet she also knew that for now at least, the young female would rather not go by her old name. She didn't want others finding out about her past, for that moment however, she'd far rather just continue on living.
Within the next four years, Kyoko found herself wandering Rukongai once again. But, unlike before, everyone stayed away from her. Mutterings from others saying that she looked like a demon or devil child. At this point, with Kyoko not fully realizing her power, she hadn't found a way to turn it off fully. Even with the effects of this 'power' not active, for the time being. Kyoko's eyes always remained a bloody crimson, matched with snowy white hair did not help her image. But being the now determined young soul that she was, Kyoko continued doing as she normally would. Stealing food, water and hiding from shopkeepers while staying away from the main streets of the district. It was from being made an outcast that made Kyoko move forward, ending up into the 68th District of North Rukongai. New Start [1620 - 1650] (Age: 130)
Within the 68th District, it was even harder than before. Fighting was more frequent, food was getting harder and harder to find with each passing day. And for once, Kyoko was unsure of just how she was going to cope in such times. After all, over these recent years she had not been without someone beside her. It was like the start of her life all over again, only this time there wasn't much chance of her being picked up like before. Maybe it was all hopeless after all. Nevertheless, this young soul kept going as best she good. But it seemed that this time lack of food, water and even anywhere to sleep had finally taken it's toll on her body. On one day late in the afternoon, the female passed out from lack of food on the edge of an alleyway, bound to be forgotten. It looked like she would never get anywhere in this world, or would she?
When Kyoko awoke next, she wasn't dead far from it. In fact she felt quite good. Better than she had in many weeks actually. It was only when she opened her eyes that Kyo realized she wasn't in the place she remembered last. Well that was certainly worrying. It was only five minutes later after having sat up, that the young soul heard shouting and things clashing about. Just what was going on out there? Finding the strength to stand and move out of the room she seemed to have been put within, the young soul merely followed wherever this sound carried her. It was only then when she opened yet another shoji door that she found something quite strange. Sparring!?
Blinking as she stared forward at the two males sparring with what appeared to be something like a sword (bokken), just what was going on here? Only a few minutes later did the session seem to end, it was only then that the young female was spotted. Being approached it didn't take long for the pair inside what seemed to be some sort of dojo type place stare at her, one looking rather amused, the other quite stoic in his gaze. It happened almost like a whirlwind to Kyoko. Over the following day, everything was explained to her by a kind woman who said that she lived here along with the two males she saw before as well as a few others. Saying that she was saved by that man she has saw with a rather amused smile on his face around a week ago. Wait.... she was out for a whole week!?
After managing to calm down, the woman had asked Kyo what she planned to do next, although this young white haired soul never actually gave her name to those around her. Once explaining that she had nowhere to live and no family to turn to, the woman insisted that she stay and live here for as long as need be. Highly grateful at the sudden offer, Kyoko surely wasn't about to turn it down after all. Despite this, now thinking back, even her own name brought back bad memories from her past not too long ago. As such, the young soul lied saying that she had no name, and after some thinking throughout the day. It would almost seem as if a new soul had been born, with a single name. Canaan. The Promised Land.
It was then that Canaan's life seemed to begin once again. Over the next five years she helped out with what she could around what she found to be the 'Saga Dojo'. Where people came to train and were taught by others who lived here, for those five years Canaan did put help with chores around the dojo, sometimes coming to watch the lessons being taught with rapt attention. It was only when someone noticed this, the man who had saved her actually, Chikage, who then asked if she wanted to learn as well. Hesitantly agreeing to the offer, it wasn't long after that, that Canaan's training began.
Thirty five years later, Canaan remained in the same dojo as ever. Not only older and wiser but now stronger too. Over the years the lady who lived there alongside everyone, and as such the owner as well had taught her quite a bit. Both how to read and write. As well as her usual chores that continued over the years (much to Canaan's dismay), having accepted that over by Chikage from what now seemed years ago. Seeing her potential both Chikage and a few others, had all told her about those with power in this world. The Shinigami. Those people with power called Reiatsu or Spiritual Pressure. They had commented long ago that she seemed to have the power to become one. But that thought had been quickly put to one side, over these long years Canaan had been taught how to hold a bokken properly, fighting with just her bare-hands and feet, something she seemed to have a talent for and honing her already decent speed even further; which seemed to be her utmost talent. But apart from small spurts of training when she could, Canaan now felt right at home. She would have been quite happy to spend the rest of her days in this place, she felt safe, wanted, loved. Right now and forever, that was all this young soul sought after. But yet again, fate took over and something terrible would soon come to pass. Canaan really had bad luck didn't she? Bad Luck [1650 - 1680] (Age: 160)
For another ten years, it was the usual for Canaan and she was highly enjoying that, but as always it wouldn't last. It was within a usual day at the Saga Dojo, everyone waking up for their normal routine. Canaan being one of those many, going about helping with breakfast while also eating her own. Those around the large table each with their own smaller discussions, a lively and homely atmosphere filling the room. Sounds of laughter and joy bouncing off the walls in a moment of calm, before the chaos of another day began. It was only in the late afternoon that the real chaos began, a light pink hue covering the sky as afternoon faded into evening. Canaan was only just starting to pack things away, when she heard a loud crashing sound, followed by a female's scream. Eyes widening, Canaan sprinted out of the dojo room at top speed. Ducking, weaving and dodging out of others way to try and reach the sound. Only to realize that others were all running the other way, what was going on here? It wasn't long before she heard yells of terror and screams of 'fire' all around her. Golden orbs changing into a dark crimson at the sounds and lights that were getting louder and louder by the second, Canaan tried to keep on running, but was soon thrown to the ground. Struggling to get up, she made her way forward as quickly as she could. Only to see thieves or thugs, or whatever these people were, all dressed in black, descending upon the area. It wasn't long before the merciless slaughter began. Canaan merely standing there, could only watch, frozen to the ground below her, as everyone she had grown to care for was ripped into bloodied pieces before her very eyes. All but a rare few anyhow, her instructors or rather more like older siblings now were still fighting against those had who had seemingly come to destroy everything and everyone here without a reason. Suddenly without warning Canaan seemed to realize what she was doing, or rather not doing. She couldn't just stand here and let everything she knew and cared about be destroy again! For such a young soul, the white haired female would seem almost brave, rushing towards those that attacked her home and at least trying to fight back. Sadly she wasn't given much of a chance to do anything, although managing to drive one back. By another she was grabbed by the hair and thrown back and for a second time, during an important time in her life; Canaan was knocked out. Once awakening, Canaan found herself in what appeared to be a makeshift hospital within Rukongai. A woman entered quite shocked, only speaking of her injuries and that they did the best they could to treat them, saying that she had been quite lucky compared to others, despite the fact that she was then told that she had been in a coma for just over ten years! But her mind briefly went back to what this woman had said before, others? What others? Was she missing something here? Figuring that she was, Canaan decided to find out just what it was, ignoring the protests from the woman following her out of her small 'room', saying that she needed to rest a little more. She had been resting for ten years dammit! It wasn't until she headed out that the young soul found those she cared for also her, even Chikage. Later that day, Canaan had been taken back to her room, having broken down into sobs the moment she remembered everything. Although when she arrived back in her room, having finally managed to calm down somewhat. She saw a note on her side table, it say who it was from, but she knew it certainly couldn't be good. After all there were only four rather disturbing words printed on the scribbled note: I'm coming for you.A week later Canaan was allowed to leave the makeshift hospital, about time too. However, before she left she was given what was left near to her when she blacked out, a small black dagger with a strange marking on the blade. It wasn't long after that she remembered it belonging to one of her instructors, how odd. Even not fully remembering who exactly it was owned by, Kyoko still kept it on her person. Not only as a reminder but as a way to fight back with an actual weapon as well. Ten years passed, Canaan once more back to a life alone. Despite this, it no longer seemed to bother her any longer. Even so, she knew there had to be more out there than well ... this. Recalling old words spoken to her about the Shinigami, and once having asked around the District. Canaan found that there was a place that trained these Shinigami - Shino Academy. Knowing that might be her only chance to get out of this place, Canaan took the chance; only hoping it would work.
Having headed there, of course not knowing the time schedule they had she did have to wait a few weeks before she could take the entrance exam. A week later she had taken the exam, and passed first time! It was a surprise to her, but Kyoko felt quite good about herself for being able to pass so quickly. Thus the start of her journey began.. to finally becoming a shinigami.
After joining the academy as a student, Canaan had begun to reuse her actual name of Kyoko, simply choosing to not use it while she was here. But regardless of that, she hadn't expected such a workload! There was so much to take in, after her first day. Kyo was exhausted, and they hadn't even begun proper training yet. Geez, it looked like she was going to have to work overtime just to keep up with everyone else here, most of which she had discovered were children from noble houses or lower ranking noble homes. All of which seemingly looked down on her as a 'Rukongai Scum', or that she didn't belong here. Kyoko ignored it all for the most part, determined to pass through these six years and prove them all wrong!
Prove them wrong? She certainly did that. Kyoko finished her time in the academy within five years, a year less than was normal for any trainee shinigami. However thanks to her hard-work, determination, and general prowess with the ways of the shinigami, it allowed her to graduate two years prior before others in her class did. She excelled in her Hakuda and Hoho exams, passing with highest honors. While easily passing both Zanjustu and Kidō with a slightly lower score than her other two. Her reiatsu/reiyoku control however still needed some work, but that was to be expected. No one became a Captain or Lieutenant straight after graduating now did they? No of they didn't, it would be weird if someone did.
Now having finally graduated the academy after three long years, Kyo knew it would only get harder from here but she was ready for that much. She knew of hard work, that was something she was comfortable with and knew she could do well. Now wearing full shinigami robes, her Asauchi (Shadow Hilt) blade strapped to her back. Kyoko now only looking forward to what her future would bring, and what a fun time it would be. Yonbantai [1683 - 1700] (Age: 180)
After a few weeks of looking as well as wanting to hone her skills with Kidō, as she knew they lacked more than others. Plus, for the time being, she would rather not fight on the front lines. At least for a little while anyhow. After waiting a few days afterwards, like many other academy graduates they were placed into divisions if good enough. Due to her own request, and as it was granted. Kyoko was placed into the fourth division, many saying it was a waste of talent and that she should be with the second. The young shinigami knew the forth were the least respected squad within the Goteijūsantai, however such a small thing wasn't going to stop this young female from doing what she thought was best.
Kyoko joined the squad as an unseated member, regardless even without having her own Zanpakutō yet and just her asauchi blade, that didn't stop her from wanting to learn all she could. Slowly gaining the skills needed, and eventually learning some basic healing Kidō that she knew that would serve her well, even if she didn't stay here. The forth helping her improve on both her Kidō and spiritual control, which to Kyo was a godsend. Soon learning on how to finely control and hide her reiatsu/reiyoku as and when she wished such a thing to happen. Of course from the benefits there were downsides to being with the forth, the eleventh seemed to pick on her no end. Although once getting into a fight with a few of the unseated members of the division and managing to kick their sorry butts, Kyo from that point onwards was mostly left alone by them, just not all of them.
Even while learning various Kidō and healing Kidō, Kyo still managed to keep up with her skills. Honing her zanjustu, hakuda and hoho by daily training, that continued throughout her time within the forth squad. She kept this up as well as being within the forth for another twenty seven years, which seemed quite a while to her, although to a soul those years were so few. However after being spoken to by her Captain, saying that she would be transferred to a division of her choosing, saying that she had learnt all she could here. And that she could do so much more somewhere else, although this young shinigami wasn't keen on the idea of leaving so quickly. She soon came to accept it as simply moving onwards and upwards, coming to a choice of division - the third. Sanbantai [1700 - 1740] (Age: 220)
While she was still within unseated ranks of the forth, and still not having had any contact with her Zanpakutō. She was therefore put in the unseated ranks of the third division. However through her continued determination and hard work through the job, she gained the rank of the 20th seat, the lowest seat in a division from pure work and as the Captain commented skill alone. Regardless of this, as ever Kyo continued to work to the best of her own ability, her own skills slowly growing as time passed her by, after all what was time to a single soul? But within that time she spent growing, she began to hear a voice within her head - a man's. At least she thought it was, but for the time being she was too focused on training and thus had ignored it.
Through the work she was given and quickly completed, Kyoko was soon put on the reserve forces within the third division, as well as patrolling Rukongai on a weekly basis with other higher ranking members of the third and the ninth. All of which mostly went quite well, only encountering a few hollows and thugs every so often. Other than that, there was little trouble to be found within Rukongai and even the furthest districts seemed to have little trouble, at least while she was there anyhow. Thanks to various members seemingly taking a liking to this young shinigami, her Zanjustu improved leaps and bounds from her academy days, and thus after spending forty years with the Sanbantai. Kyoko soon found it time to move on, and this time it was her own choice. Where would she go, the answer was obvious, wasn't it? The World of the Living [1740 - 1820] (Age: 300)
Perhaps this wasn't the best idea in the world. She knew it most likely wasn't the smartest choice she had made by leaving the Gotei 13 for a while, but even after all that time. She still felt as if she didn't quite fit, nor could she ever seem to hear her Zanpakutō Spirit's voice. Was she fated to never have one and just remain at the level she was now? Was that even enough? It would seem that she would just have to wait and find out for the meantime. Now within a Gigai, Kyoko had arrived within one of the biggest cities in China, Shanghai. It took her roughly ten years for her to fully settle into this world, living a fairly normal life. Until something strange happened, something that even she couldn't predict. While on a train ride across China, the train suddenly seemed to stop. Terrorists taking over the train and all those aboard; including Kyoko herself. Although from her Gigai many saw her as just a young child travelling alone, that didn't mean she wasn't about to just give in and not fight back these humans. Moving away from the group in her cabin that had been taken, as best as she could. Kyoko fought back, knocking out a male's teeth and damaging another's ribs before she was captured once again, as well as other marks that would certainly hurt for quite a while. Still, without a Gikongan (Soul Candy) or anything of the soul, she couldn't change back into her natural form. Despite this, she still thrashed about, hoping to break free somehow. Sadly for the white haired soul she didn't manage to break free, but after a few minutes of struggling and then giving up. She didn't need to wait for very long. Soon dropping to the ground, seeing the male that had grabbed her suddenly fall to the ground; dead. Looking over to see just who had saved her and those within the cabin, only to find a tall male standing there, gun in hand. Others that seemed to be with him quickly following into the cabin, helping a few and the rest heading forward into the next cabin along from them. Struggling to her feet, the young female looked up as the male in question approached her. Firstly asking her if she was the one that fought back against the now dead men, and if she was alright. Kyoko replying yes to both, it was only then that the male reassured her that everything would be fine from here on in. And strangely enough? It was all fine in the end. The terrorists were disposed of, although Kyoko never finished her train ride. But she gained something else from it, so it didn't matter all that much. Kyoko had been offered to travel with these people, or really the man she had spoken to before, having been asked by him after the trouble was over if she had anyone to rely on or any family. Saying that she didn't and that she seemed to have promise, this man offered to train her in how to use various weapons as even from that short time, he saw that she seemed to have little knowledge of the area. After thinking briefly, Kyoko agreed to the rather generous offer, what did she have to lose? She was still in a Gigai after all. All of this happened within her eleventh year of being within the World of the Living, it was only after meeting this man that Kyoko's life somewhat changed; both for the strange and the better. Over the next forty nine years, Kyoko followed this man throughout Shanghai and the rest of China, going to all the major cities and towns within the country. While being taught how to use firearms from this world, which, Kyoko found she had a natural talent for. As well as this, this man seemed to know what this 'ability' of her's was, the name? Synesthesia. Although he only knew the name and basic functions of it, it finally gave Kyoko an idea of what this power of her's actually was. And she soon found not long after those forty nine years that it proved an aid in battle, allowing her to become an expert and snipe shooting and with normal guns as well. Over the next ten years, while still after all those now fifty nine years having trained her Shinigami abilities during the dead of night, although still no closer to hearing her Zanpakutō's name she kept going. Her sheer determination and will power driving her forward. Over these ten years is when Kyoko had discovered what the human's called "tattoo's". As such, this is one of the reasons (although unknown to all others) why she got such a thing. Not only as a reminder of her time here training, but as she said to her now tutor the tattoo is a testament to her family both past and future. On top of this, Kyoko with guidance from her tutor soon became a mercenary for hire within the streets of Shanghai. Eliminating those who caused trouble and chaos for others, as well as taking out any hollow within Shanghai with it being her duty as a Shinigami. The next ten years proved to be quite eventful, in more ways then one as well. It wasn't exactly what Kyoko had expected either. That one person she never expected to see turned up. On another normal day with both Kyoko and her tutor roaming the alleys of Shanghai, they were both ambushed. However, it was someone she knew well; too well in fact. It was the same Shinigami that had killed her parents all those years ago, that bastard was still alive! Already enraged just by seeing the male again, Kyoko charged forward. Fighting back in her Gigai, using the dagger that she ha been left by her former teachers what seemed so long ago. The fight seemed to be going well, but Kyo was quick to realize that her tutor.... could see this Shinigami? The hell? She had heard of humans that could see spirits like this, but it would have been nice to known about! Still slightly stunned at the realization, Kyoko was thrown backwards from a kick to her stomach. Shit that hurt. It suddenly seemed to go from good to bad in the span of two seconds. Rushing to get up and fight back, she wasn't fast enough. No! Moving as quickly as she could, but her legs just seemed to give up. Why now!? As the Shinigami's blade aimed for her heart, Kyoko shut her eyes from sheer fear. This would be it huh? No more life to live any-. Her thoughts were cut off, hearing a loud grunt of pain from right in front of her own body. Opening now glowing crimson orbs, she saw no other than her tutor before her, shielding her with his body from the lethal and fatal attack. NO! Not again, please, no! As her tutor fell to the ground, his now lifeless body hitting the ground with a thud. Kyoko screamed, this couldn't be happening, no. Let this all be a dream, not again.It was at this point that the attacking Shinigami merely laughed at the look of terror in the young girl's eyes. But that terror was quickly replaced, by untold fury. It remains unknown how Kyoko killed this Shinigami, but her methods were known to be extremely brutal and sadistic. As the glow of of crimson faded into golden once more, Kyoko having left the area a few hours prior, now having calmed down. She knew it wasn't wise to linger here any longer, but at least she didn't need to worry about that... man... turning up ever again. It was on that day that Kyoko made her way back home to rejoin her peers in the Gotei 13. It was also on that day that the carefree and trusting side of this young soul was lost forever.
Upon her return to the Soul Society, Kyoko seemed older, more mature in many ways. It had only been since her starting to return home had she begun to hear a male voice within her dreams, although unknown for the moment. At that time she had merely ignored it as an inconvenience while sleeping for the time being. At her own request, she was put within the Nibantai as the twentieth seat for now. Over the next ten years, like others in the Nibantai, Kyoko applied to join the Onmitsukidō and for those ten years she was pushed to her limits, both within Hakuda and Hoho. Coming out that she seemed faster than even most seated members around her own rank and slightly above; which was strange in itself. Still after those ten years, Kyoko was permitted to join the ranks of the Onmitsukidō, placed within the patrol corps for the first twenty years of her service. Another five years continued the same as the first, until a certain mission with two other members of the Nibantai. They were looking to capture a shinigami that had gone rouge and bring him in. It was within that mission that this young shinigami gained her Shikai, receiving near fatal injuries as a result, but she had done it all the same. An almost blinding bright white light had surrounded her and the rouge shinigami, badly injuring him enough to be quickly captured afterwards. She found that her Zanpakutō and it's spirit; Dokuga as he was known. Over the next ten years while continuing her duties, she trained with her Zanpakutō day and night, at the end of that tenth year, she was promoted to fifteenth seat of the Nibantai. Something to be proud of right? Well.. yes and no. After all no one predicted what would happen next would they? With gaining her new rank, Kyoko was sent out on a mission with four others, three of lower rank and the highest being the tenth seat. Sent to deal with some hollows within one of the outer districts of South Rukongai. What they weren't told was that these hollows were stronger than anyone could expect. After arriving there and fighting off the six that were within the area, the first three were no trouble and were disposed of. But it was the rest that was the problem, another was taken care of, only to result in a death of one of the unseated members of the Squad. It wasn't long before the other two unseated were brought down and killed. It was now only two versus two, could they do it? It seemed as if fate was on there side, the tenth seat managing to kill one of the two remaining with his Shikai, although both he and Kyoko were quite badly cut up at this point. It wasn't until near the end of the battle, both managing to take out one of it's arms. But before anything else could happen the hollow quickly cornered the tenth seat, not having any other choice. Kyoko released her Shikai, striking the creature within it's stomach. Although distracted, the hollow soon came for Kyo herself, but before she could even do anything else even as both the hollow and death seemed to draw closer, she fell unconscious from using up the last bit of reiatsu she had left to fight back. What happened to Kyoko at that time she didn't know herself, but the injured hollow had run off, shrinking down in size and slipping into her system while she was out cold. The only one that returned that day was Kyoko, being found by another Shinigami a few hours after. Her first memory was that of waking up in the Yonbantai Medical Center, with Captain Soifon glaring down at her, clearly not happy. Oh god. Not only was Kyoko lectured by her Captain about proper procedures, but she was looked down upon as well. Not only did she fail in her mission, but she let all of her comrades die in the process, not that Soifon seemed to care about that part. Much to Kyoko's own shame and dislike. Although not forgetting what had happened to those around her, Kyoko remained focused. Sixty years passed, with constant training and communication with her Zanpakutō, she was promoted to the tenth seat as well as being moved into the Inner Court Troop within the Onmitsukidō, now being well know within the Nibantai for her speed. Despite learning more from Dokuga, Kyoko still found her Zanpakutō Spirit to be highly annoying and irritating, speaking up at the most inappropriate of times. During the next twenty years, alongside all of her training, improving and learning, Kyoko was once again promoted now to the sixth seat. Elated at the progress, were most others would stop and take a break, Kyoko didn't. She merely kept on going, and that drive was what allowed to her to grow further as the days passed.
With the years passing, it should have been obvious that due to pushing her body so much and training as much as was possible. Despite the benefits, Kyoko never had any friends to turn to, not even from her academy days it seemed. Yes, she was growing stronger, but at what cost to everything else? And so taking a suggestion from other seated members, in the first time since rejoining the Gotei 13, Kyoko took a break. Of course she still kept up with her duties, however, she stopped training nearly as much for at least twenty years, and to be honest? It was great! She had never had so much fun in such a long time. Slowly getting to know her comrades within the Nibantai, as well as interacting with those of other Squads, even Lieutenants during rather large parties which were put on every now and then.
Over this time, she soon got to know not only her own members of the Nibantai but others as well. Other including some of the Lieutenants, having to sometimes help Lieutenant Matsumoto back to her Barracks with a member of the Jūbantai when she was took drunk to listen to anyone else. It was either that, or Kyoko found herself spending evenings with both her Squad and Lieutenant Kira joining in. After a while of this, they seemed to get along quite well, with Kyoko occasionally helping the Lieutenant back to his Squad. She didn't feel sorry for him like most, she doubted anyone would act any different then he under Captain Ichimaru after all. This fun continued for twenty years of doing this, although she rarely ever drank, it just wasn't her thing. But she had fun all the same. It was after this period that Kyoko had found that even she needed to relax every once in a while, and with that thought in mind she resumed her training as before. But remembering to take a break when she really needed one.
Forty years passed with the same situation, training and taking a break with friends when she needed it. Some of the more cheerful Nibantai members occasionally dragging her away from her training (literally) to have a break, as many of her Squad seemed to think she had some kind of crush on Lieutenant Kira considering how easily they spoke to one another. If she was being honest, she kind of did, but it wasn't like she would ever admit it. Instead Kyoko put up with the teasing from Dokuga for these years instead. It was in these forty years that she not only grew in maturity and experience, but power as well. Captain Soifon after testing her personally seemed to almost praise her after the session, and with that she was promoted to third seat of the Nibantai, becoming in charge of dealing with the Detention Unit and all but having mastered her Shikai by this point.
It was only a few months into her position as third seat that Kyoko questioned Dokuga about the prospect of learning Bankai. She knew she didn't have to even try, but an inner drive told her it would certainly be helpful. Even if she didn't want to lead really, but she didn't want to be useless either. At first Dokuga outright told her a simple no, saying she wasn't ready. However, after a few fights and arguments within her inner world, he agreed. But warned his young Shinigami that the path ahead would not be easy by any stretch and there was a chance of death. All the same, even knowing this Kyoko accepted and so her training for Bankai began - in secret of course.
Over the next ten years, Kyoko trained and trained as much as she could within her own limits. Ending up in the Yonbantai quite a few times as a result, but regardless she kept on going. As she expected after those ten years, Kyoko had indeed gained Bankai, however, only once doing so did she then pass out. Ending up unconscious for two weeks due to the strain put on her body from overworking herself, but nonetheless. She had done it. Being released three weeks after being found out cold, she was told to take it easy and not to overdo it. Kyoko did of course listen to this.... sort of. She took it easy for just under a month before starting again, albeit at a slower pace then before. Her Bankai wouldn't help anyone would if she couldn't control it fully now would it?
By the time the next ten years came around, Kyoko was used to dealing with her role as the third seat, sometimes stepping in for the Lieutenant when he wasn't getting thrown around by Captain Soifon, and boy did that involve a lot of paperwork, but she got through it. All the while increasing her mastery over her Bankai most nights with her Zanpakutō. Alongside this, her own base skills had improved. Even Captain Soifon commented upon her impressive speed, now able to rival that of the Lieutenants and even some newer Captains. Her Hakuda skills had come on greatly as well, needing the skills as well as the knowledge so she could stop any prisoners in the Maggots Nest from getting out or fighting back. Overall her skills had greatly improved, even with Zanjustu and Kidō were improving. Even so, the training continued and a few months after the ten year mark of training. Kyoko had after blood, sweat and a few tears (literally) finally fully mastered her Bankai or had she? It took longer than she would have ever liked. Still there remained a lingering worry within her mind that something was amiss and just not right. But for now it was done. Little did anyone know that extra power would prove to be her saving grace in the years to come. As darkness was just on the horizon. The War [2000 - 2003] (Age: 483)
Six months of peace were all that anyone in the Gotei 13 got before the true chaos began. The first event being the death of Sousuke Aizen, Gobantai Taicho. Many were quite shocked, more so than others. But after a little while, Kyoko soon discovered after finding a few Sanbantai members quite drunk late at night, that Captain Ichimaru didn't seem to be any different than normal. How odd. Still, she wasn't one to listen to mere gossip and try to confront a Captain of all people. So for the time being, Kyoko left well enough alone, only time would tell if that would be her own and others downfall. For once, the white haired Shinigami hoped that her gut instincts were very, very wrong.
Sadly it didn't take long for her to proven right. And it was something she, nor any other Gotei 13 member expected. Sousuke Aizen, along with Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tousen all led a rebellion against the Soul Society, and like all others around there was nothing she could do. And she hated herself for it, but even before things had taken off, she still wouldn't have been strong enough. Even being near the three of them together was enough to make Kyoko want to throw up from sheer fear alone, and lack of reiatsu but that really wasn't the point. While also leaving, it was heard that now the entire Gotei 13 was to prepare for war. Wait what!? War!? They had to be seriously kidding, right?
Unfortunately that wasn't the case, and now with a lack of three Captains. Those spaces needed to be filled and fast, each current Captain putting in recommendations of who should be selected and three were indeed chosen less then a week. The Lieutenant of the Jūsanbantai, the third seat of the Sanbantai and finally the third seat of the Nibantai. What!? It quickly came to her attention that Captain Soifon had been keeping more an eye on her then she had first thought, knowing of her training and her mastered Bankai from her reiatsu alone. Geez. Surprised by honored at the chance, Kyoko accepted the position offered to her. Within the next two weeks she was in, now as the newest Captain of the Sanbantai.
It wasn't exactly the warmest of welcomes, sure many of the Sanbantai members knew her from her previous position in the Nibantai. But many voiced that it was just too soon for another Captain, after still only just having lost Captain Ichimaru. Kyoko knew it would be hard, even more so with Kira, she could see he blamed himself partly for his former Captain's betrayal, but it couldn't be helped now. They needed to focus on things to come, and after a month of service. The Sanbantai was back to it's old self with both Kyoko's (and eventually Lieutenant Kira's) help. Training started, and everyone was so focused, they barely noticed the months fly by. Until finally, it was time...
Months passed and the war began, blows exchanged, both sides loosing fighters and dropping like flies. With her Lieutenant stationed to protect one of the pillars, while all else was going on and further on during the battle, she saw one person simply standing and observing the chaos. Gin Ichimaru. Making a decision, she did something the young Captain never thought she would ever do. Engaging the silver haired male in battle, although asking for him to surrender she knew it didn't work and it really didn't. The two clashing over speeding swords and extending blades for just over two hours, it was becoming clear to Kyoko that the weaker she became the less she was able to fight evenly with him. Despite both still only using Shikai, it just wasn't working.
It was at this point that the worst possible thing happened for her, the hollow that had been growing stronger within her soul suddenly came free. Taking over control of Kyoko's body briefly (twenty minutes), attacking relentlessly, but even then the former Captain was still easily over-powering her. Once finally regaining control, it took all the control Kyoko had not to pass out on the spot, knowing she would die as she did. As shameful as she would feel for the rest of her life due to this one action, she fled the battle. Possibly one of the most important fights of her life and what did she freaking do? Run like the coward she truly was.
Time seemed to pass even quicker than before, and by this time the Juhabach and the Vanderreich had appeared, the war close to reaching it's final climax. The rest of the war passed by in a blur, and after Aizen's defeat all that was left for Kyoko was regret, shame and her now as she had discovered this hollow inside of her trying to regain control once more. This simply couldn't happen, she couldn't take this for much longer. She knew it wasn't right, and she knew it was wrong to simply leave, but she needed space and time to think; alone. The next thing anyone would know, Lieutenant Kira would be picking up a haori that had been lost in the battle, finding it to be no other than Kyoko's. It was from this time onwards that Kyoko fled, leaving the Gotei 13 and the Soul Society behind her, after all from the way she had left things, everyone had thought she had simply died in the final clash. It was for the best, wasn't it? Time Passes [2003 - Present] (Age: 606)
After abandoning her position of Sanbantai Taicho, Kyoko for the first seventeen years of her solitude roamed in the deserts of Hueco Mundo, fighting off any hollow or remaining Arrancar that got in her way. It was a hard life but she managed it, somehow. Kyoko wasn't quite sure how, but for those seventeen years she did, growing in skill and her own survival instincts. It wasn't long after this that her true time began for this young soul to mature. Along with a new little revelation from her Zanpakutō Spirit. This shock came during her years alone in Hueco Mundo, something she certainly wasn't expecting. Although Kyoko didn't think it possible, Dokuga himself had fooled her. Saying that she had never fully mastered Bankai, as he had never taught her the last technique left to pass on. Stating that at that time she wasn't ready, nor was ready now. After arguing various times, Kyoko left the matter be. When she was ready, she would know, or so Dokuga had told her.
Over the next seventy years, Kyoko matured. Not only physically, losing her childish appearance that remained even during her Captaincy into something more suited for a young woman. For the first fifty years, she remained within Hueco Mundo, now already used to the challenges it presented her. It was within this time frame and after various hard fought battles that she regained and then had total control over the inner hollow inside her soul. Her own natural powers growing as well, to a point beyond even what she expected. That point allowing her to once again ask Dokuga about her Bankai, with him finally accepting and seeing that Kyoko had accepted what life threw at her, while still standing strong. While within those seventy years, it was in that time that the white haired Shinigami fully mastered her Bankai and for once felt better afterwards then she had in years. Everything seemed to almost be, looking up? Maybe she was just getting her hopes up with that one.
She was quickly proven right, as a group of Shinigami entered Hueco Mundo to search the area, not wanting to be found or discovered by any Shinigami full stop. Using her new found powers and with a little help from her inner hollow, after so long. Kyoko fled the white sands of this place, heading to the World of the Living for what would soon become a new start.
Thirty years passed by, Kyoko after only five coming to live as a normal human. Now always within a Gigai, it wasn't until a large hollow emerged into Shanghai where she had been living at the time and with no other around she was forced to use her powers to fight back. Easily killing the hollow, but that wasn't the point. What was? The fact that she had shown and used power she hadn't in so long, it was like an adrenalin rush of some kind. Brushing off the fact, ten years later even from so far across the sea. She was requested to come to Karakura Town, only to find an offer presented to her to join to rather recently formed as they called in 'Vizard Squadron', both confused and slightly concerned at the offer, Kyoko did accept. Soon coming to meet the Squadron's leader - Snopy Saika. It was only after speaking with him did she feel that she could maybe even belong her.
Eleven years have passed since that day, Kyoko now living within Karakura Town and protecting it alongside others. Being independent within the Squadron allows Kyoko the freedom she enjoys, sometimes even going back to Shanghai to visit old places and old friends. It has been almost one hundred years since Kyoko step foot into the Soul Society or saw any of her old friends, but time changes and so do people. Who knows, maybe the start of a new beginning is just on the edge of the horizon?

"Life, Death, Rebirth.
Each one brings a new beginning." ||Equipment||Note: All items listed below are used solely while within a Gigai (apart from the sugar sticks).
::Sling Bag::
The most useful item that Kyoko keeps with her, this light brown bag is what carries most everything she takes with her, be it equipment or person items, something that is always inside the bag is a small amount of medical supplies which are normally used to aid others. The bag itself holds a zip on the right side for easy access, said bag normally thrown across Kyo's shoulder, the straps going across her upper body, the rest of the bag resting against her back. Despite the easy to use and rather tight straps attached to the back, it has been known for the bag to be torn off during Kyo's fights.
::Beretta Px4 Storm::
Kyoko's main weapon of choice, which she always carries with her when within her Gigai. The gun, is the last gift she was given by her tutor, whenever used Kyo cleans the weapon on a weekly basis. Modified without any manual safety on the weapon, Kyo stating that it wouldn't be a good idea for others to try and use such a weapon that was always locked & loaded. When carrying the weapon, Kyo always keeps at least three magazine cartridges on her person just in case. Each magazine cartridge due to being recently modified by Kyo now carries a total of twelve bullets each. In either form or world, Kyoko has shown to use this weapon with deadly accuracy and is not to be underestimated when she's holding a gun to your head, if she doesn't like you? Well, she'll shoot. Although this weapon only works on those with low spiritual pressure (tier 3 and below), Kyo still seems to be make the best use of this weapon, used mostly as a distraction on those with higher spiritual pressure.
::Sniper Rifle::
A less common weapon used by Kyoko, and generally taken on longer missions when she needs to keep her distance from a target. The rifle is basic but slightly modified by Kyo to suit her own abilities. Holding six rounds per cartridge, and a retina scope atop the main frame, which can allow for a view of up to a max of a mile ahead of her current position. When used, Kyoko can set the sniper rifle up on a stand for better control and aim, or simply hold herself. While moving, a strap added onto the weapon allows Kyoko to carry this sniper rifle on her back, although this is rarely seen.
::Sugar Sticks::
Unlike many seem to think when they see these, no they aren't cigarettes not in the slightest. In fact, they're sugar sticks, although Kyoko never talks about it, nor does she really need them it relates back to her past. Her tutor having given them to her when she was training, so it's become a habit of hers. She takes at least a pack of them wherever she goes, and two if she's visiting the world of the living, no one seems to know where she gets them from. Nor will she tell them, after all why would Kyo want anyone to take her favorite little snack away from her? These sticks are quite sweet and highly addicting once you start on them, but Kyo doesn't care.
::Reiatsu Concealing Cloak::
A cloak normally only used when travelling to Hueco Mundo. The clock covers Kyoko's entire body, including a hood to cover her facial features as well. The item is specially designed to hide all and any traces of spiritual pressure until the user chooses to no longer do so, making them seem to the common eye that they are similar to a human. Or someone with the spiritual pressure of an academy student if one's perception is overly high. This is also useful for carrying extra items, holding various pockets inside for Kyo's use.
::Black Tanto::
One of Kyoko's most well used weapons besides her Zanpakutō, this tanto is a pure black reflecting no light. The blade itself is eight inches long, the handle ten inches and only just big enough to allow the user to hold it with one hand. Kyo holds the weapon in a reverse-grip style, allowing for quick slashes and back attacks. It is something she commonly uses within her Gigai, the blade's power can also be increased by channeling Kyoko's reiatsu along the edge of the weapon, allowing for better striking power.

"Life, Death, Rebirth.
Each one brings a new beginning." ||Combat Information||||Reiatsu||
::Great Spiritual Pressure::
As a former Captain of the Gotei 13, Kyoko possesses a massive amount of spiritual power. It is colorized a stainless white, laced with a golden edge. While others reiatsu mostly appears as flame-like and untamed, Kyo's is more of a liquid, smooth and flowing like waves in a tranquil sea. When released it is thick and spirals around her person, like a pet cherishing its mistress. While most reiatsu auras radiate away from their masters in search of enemies to oppress and destroy, Kyo's reiatsu keeps close to her, only lashing out when its mistress commands it do so explicitly. And, due its thickness and the sudden impact, this attack is the more devastating when in comparison to someone who maintains a crushing aura at all times.
::Masterful Spiritual Control::
Due to her own training and former post as both a Captain of the Gotei 13 and a member of the Nibantai, being able to control one's spiritual pressure was critical. Kyoko is easily able to mask her spiritual pressure, which she does unconsciously, making her seem as if she is two tiers lower (always assumed to be at a 2-5 tier unless consciously releasing her full power) than her actual power level. Unless released fully by a conscious choice, Kyo's power level always remains at this lowered state, which comes in very handy to fooling potential opponents.
||Hohō||
::Natural Speed/Agility::
From as young as Kyoko could remember she was training her speed, there was no doubt, she was fast. Very fast in fact. This speed honed from years and years of training, and even before formal training began. Over the years and even more so recently, Kyoko's speed has increased to such a point that even some powerful spiritually aware humans cannot track her movements, as well as lower ranking Shinigami have no chance of seeing her, unless she holds back. This natural speed allows her to easily cover large distances without the aid of Shunpo should she not need it. This also aids the young woman when in battle as well as simple running, alongside primed reflexes she is able to dodge an onslaught of attacks with relative ease from weaker opponents.
::Shunpo(Flash Step) Grandmaster::
A master among master's. Kyoko's skill in Shunpo is almost unmatched to all but a select few. Finding that she had an extreme talent for the skill, Kyoko has trained with the power since her early academy days. When in movement to all but the most powerful of beings are unable to track her, movements like a white blur to those nearby. Kyoko holds the title "The White Flash Goddess" (ホワイト瞬神, Howaitoshunshin), because she has mastered this ability to the point where she can appear to be in several places at once when needed. Despite being able to create afterimages from each movement, Kyoko has chosen not to unless highly needed and this seems to be a conscious choice made by this young woman. Despite using Shunpo, over the years her Shunpo has become more like an Arrancar's Sonīdo, having become more instinctive than having to think about each movement. Tier One and above are able to see Kyoko's movements, albeit some less than others depending on her foes perception, this only applies to when Kyo is using her full power with Shunpo.
::Utsusemi (蝉が脱皮, Molting Cicada)::
An advanced movement technique used primarily by high ranking Onmitsukidō members, the user moves at high enough speed to leave an afterimage, which can appear to have taken damage. While the technique sounds simple, it is very hard to master.
::Odoroki Utsusemi (驚き蝉が脱皮, Surprising Molting Cicada)::
An original variation of Utsusemi manufactured by Kyoko, it functions on the same principles as its parent technique, but it is a hybrid technique in the sense that it combines both Hohō and Kidō. These improved and specialized variations of Utsusemi are very easy to leave behind when utilized by him and have a vast number of different applications. Odoroki Utsusemi works by infusing her speed clone with a small portion of his spiritual energy, drastically increasing its lifespan and combative abilities as well as allowing him to control it like a marionette along with talking trough it and making it perform much more complicated actions than its fellow speed clones. While these effects already make it an excellent off-shot from the normal Utsusemi it is another facet about its use which has served to make it even more attractive for its correspondence to Kyoko's integrated fighting style is that it is capable of storing Kidō spells which immediately take effect upon the clones death; the favored spell for Kyoko to "transcribe" to a clones body seem to be the ever-popular Shakkahō due to its high single-target damage potential as well the impressive reach of the blast wave. Though, in no way does this limit the Odoroki Utsusemi technique to just one spell, and Kyoko can easily transcribe the clones with different spells altogether depending on the situation at hand and what would be the most beneficial: However, dwarfing all the other achievements is the fact that Kyoko is capable of maintaining as many as four such clones at any time, all of whom are supplemented with a portion of her energy and outfitted with a different spell -- her control over this technique is such that she's known to go as far as to combine the spells the clones release together for maximum effect, creating a long array of systematic and sly traps in which all of the clones have a function - and with just the magical power exerted by the clones she's capable of summoning forth incredible feats of magical skill and might! Despite Kyoko having mastered this technique, it being one of her own, it is known that using anymore than five clones at once (fix max, four to be safe), seems to reduce her Spiritual Power quite quickly.
::Senka (閃花, Flash Blossom)::
Senka is an advanced level movement technique, moving behind the opponent by utilizing a quick Shunpo the user will then strike them in the Saketsu (鎖結, Chain Binding) and Hakusui (鎖結, Soul Sleep) within two rapid attacks. A opponent may not be able to tell whether they were attacked from the front or the back because of the technique's speed, and even an outside observer may find it impossible to tell what the movements are and when they took place.
::Supīdokurōn (スピードクローン, Speed Clones)::
This advanced technique allows Kyoko to create up to fifteen speed clones, they are exact copies of her and move as she does. However, when using these, Kyoko normally limits herself to a maximum of ten, despite being able to make more. As this increases the duration they can be active. The lesser the number used, the longer Kyoko is able to keep the clones visible, using only one or two clones allows her to maintain them for up to an hour. When using this technique in Bankai at high speeds, Kyoko is not only able to create clones, but afterimages of those clones as she moves. Allowing her to trick and confuse her opponent, leaving them wondering where she will strike from next, this is done in a similar manner to when Ichigo Kurosaki first used his own Bankai.
::Kitsunebi (狐尾, Fox Tail)::
An advanced technique created by Kyoko. This is a technique that forces the reiatsu left after a flash step to move outwards at high speeds, by using either shunpo or the user's natural speed. From this movement, as a result devastating shock waves are left within the user's wake whenever she flickers away. This technique can be used in various ways, from a distraction before attacking the target. To use this shock wave as a way to confuse the opponent before making an escape from the immediate area. The greatest advantage is that this technique, when mastered costs no more than a standard flash step and can be activated on a whim, being the creator of this technique and having mastered it fully this proves true for Kyoko. However, using this technique for long periods of time does tire her quite quickly.
||Hakuda||
::Hakuda Master::
One of the four primary fighting styles of the Shinigami, a part of the Zankensoki, Hakuda is an unarmed close-combat fighting style performed using one's own body. The techniques within Hakuda appear to be comprised of multiple other martial arts in one unified setup with additions being made all the time by its various practitioners, a large variety of these techniques are either elaborate and some-what fancy techniques while others appear to be little more than simple one-note attacks backed up by the sheer power garnered by spiritual bodies. When considering Kyoko's former position as head of the Detention Unit, as well as her continuous training years on, she is clearly a master to be respected, she knows all of the advanced techniques with Hakuda and has even created a few of her own. Her skills are enough that she can often times forego use of a Zanpakutō to solely rely on her hands and feet for combat. She has also shown the ability to take on and defeat numerous opponents at least two times her size and strength.
::Supākusutoraiku (スパークストライク, Spark Strike)::
Despite its name this technique is actually a rather simple hammer kick performed whilst backed by a large amount of Reiatsu which causes the leg to become coated in a field of white electricity. The technique requires even only the slightest hint of contact in order to cause a massive and powerful explosion that forms into a rising plume of energy around Kyoko. So far, only Kyoko knows and uses this technique, being it's inventor.
::Satsuka (殺火, Slaying-Fire)::
A technique that involves sealing off the Reiatsu vents located in the wrists which causes the opponent's body to incinerate itself from the inside out with their own Spiritual Pressure. Kyoko accomplishes this by performing a jab towards the wrist of the individual, letting a slim amount of her spiritual energy seep into the target before using the opponent's body to move to the opposite side. Once there she repeats the motion on the other wrist in an attempt to seal off both vents at once.
||Zanjustu||::Zanjustu Master::
Being a former Capatain of the Gotei 13 as well as Zanjustu being the basic foundation for any Shinigami using a Zanpakutō, Kyoko is well versed in the art. Being a master in the art, however, her skills are only that of a low-level master. As she knows this is something she needs to improve on. Any master who has trained solely with Zanjustu unlike Kyoko has, will be able to overpower this young woman fairly quickly. Despite that her skills rank with a slightly above-average Captain and thus she is no one to take lightly. Despite her still some-what lacking area in the skill, she works to improve on this daily. When using Zanjustu, Kyoko uses the preferred style of Iaidō, wanting to end the battle as quickly as possible, as this style also compliments here extreme speed to aid with this process.
::Iaido::
The art of unsheathing one's sword, cutting the enemy, wiping the blood off the sword, and sheathing it, its a dangerous and difficult art of swordsmanship, only few have achieved within the Gotei 13, and even fewer can use it practically and with mastery. Kyoko is one of those individuals, having been able to fight and ambush enemies with swift precision, speed, and power with this art of combat. Although not as skilled as some master's in the art, Kyoko is most certainly an expert with this style of fighting.
::Sōken (双剣, Double Sword)::
An iaidō technique where the user attacks, sheathes, unsheathes and eventually re-sheathes the blade in such a rapid succession both strikes are carved parallel into the victims body and the latter cannot tell where he/she was cut first. Kyoko's mastery over this technique extends to such heights she could lacerate a high-level Arrancar within seconds, despite the monster's steel-plated hierro protecting him/her. So far Kyoko is the only one who is able to perform this technique, and must be taught by her for others to use.
::Hanken (半剣, Half-Sword)::
A non-lethal technique aimed at knocking out an opponent without actually harming them, the user rapidly unsheathes the blade as if he were preparing a standard iaidō thrust, but instead knocks the handle of her/his blade into his adversary's abdomen, knocking them senseless if performed with enough force. Although less likely to kill than standard iaidō, the technique still possess the risk of breaking ribs and damaging organs.
||Kidō||
::Kidō Expert::
Although not a master, Kyo is very well versed with Kidō, thanks to her years of training with the art alongside her other skills. Showing the skill to be able to take on those of her own level within this branch and below, with mostly good results. The Kidō she does know, and uses well to full effect against foes, trapping them, and thus making them very easy prey for her Zanpakutō and it's abilities. She has shown on more than one occasion to use Kidō to full effect alongside her opponent, allowing her to easily surprise and capture them.
::Hado::
Her weakest aspect of Kidō. Kyoko is able to use many types of Hado, but despite this, it is not to the same power as other more proficient users. Kyoko can use Hado up to the mid sixties before needing an incantation, however the higher used Hado without incantation the less power it produces unless Kyoko is utterly focused on that Kidō. Using high level Kidō quickly seems to tire her quite a bit, even more so if used in rapid succession.
::Bakudo::
Kyoko's strongest aspect of Kidō thus far. From her time within the Nibantai, capturing escaped criminals was her duty, thus vast knowledge of various Bakudo were needed to capture the target with as little effort as possible. Kyoko is able to use Bakudo up to the mid eighties without an incantation and still retain the full effect of the Kidō used. As well as this, she seems to know various unnamed Bakudo as well, which are quite useful for when within the Human World.
::Healing Kidō::
Having been within the Yonbantai for a short time during her career as a Shinigami, Kyoko learnt the basics of Healing Kidō from the Captain and Lieutenant at the time. Even after leaving the squad, Kyoko maintained her training with the art. From this she is able to quickly work out the wounds of a fallen comrade, and heal some wounds such as large wounds and gashes. However, she is unable to heal things such as severed limbs or damaged internal organs.
::Kaidō (回道, Turn Way)::
As the user holds his/her hands above the patient's wounds, his/her palms glow with green spiritual energy to facilitate healing. When one heals with regular healing kidō, they perform reiatsu restoration first. By doing so, one can attempt to recover the physical body using the patient's restored reiatsu and the healer's external reiatsu. Therefore, restoring the reiatsu when the physical body is in a fully healed state is no trouble at all.
||Natural Abilities||
||Unreleased Abilities||
::Synesthesia::
Having gained this unique ability from a horrible experience just before joining Shino Academy. Kyo is what would be classified as a Synesthete. She is able to see the world in colors unlike other spiritual or human beings. Giving each person a color in relation to the meaning for her. On top of this is an aura of the person regardless of their meaning to Kyoko, showing their mood and thus allowing her to easily read a person's emotions if she is focused enough. With this it allows her sight beyond the normal shinigami, as well as being able to tell who is friend of foe from this. This ability also intensifies the senses, allowing her reactions/reflexes to be enhanced to the point of being able to dodge small objects like a bullet, throwing knives etc. Also allowing her to sense or perceive things that normal shinigami or humans would not, thus making her highly dangerous in combat. The nerves within Kyo's brain become highly active during such a time that she uses this, not only seeing the world in color, but coding when she chooses to (at her own will). With such coding she can break past most electronic defenses on electric objects (computer, database, phone, passwords for devices etc.), simply by focusing on the desired object for a few seconds. There are two drawbacks to this, one very major. If this power is overused, Kyo will after such a time no longer be able to see things in color nor use her Synesthesia ability at all. This as an effect slows her reaction times to below normal, for a minimum of at least two days; longer if put in greater strain. The signs of being overused are most commonly bad headaches and total loss of sight for a short time. The second is that thanks to her heightened senses, Kyoko cannot deal with any overly bright lights (such as looking towards the sun, large explosions of power that are white in color), or sounds. As they take effect on her body, leaving her unable to move for a short time.
::Spirit Soul::
Gained from years of training, and her own wish to have at least someone beside her. From having such a strong although annoying at times bond with her Zanpakutō Spirit, allowed for this skill to happen. As such, Kyoko does not need to be within Shikai or Bankai for this to be active and it can be used at any time. As long as she is not unconscious or knocked out. Through refining her spiritual pressure over years and years, and using the concept of one having to manifest their Zanpakutō Spirit, Kyoko has followed a similar concept. However, her version of the skill is different. She is able to manifest Dokuga into the physical world for as long as she remains alive and awake, as such the Zanpakutō Spirit is able to be seen and interacted with by others. There is only one drawback to this, he is unable to hold any kind of weapons while in this form, nor is the spirit able to fight at all while manifested in this manner. Despite this downfall, other than that, Dokuga can be manifested for as long as is needed costing her nothing that the normal amount of Reiatsu she subconsciously releases. Normally, many have seen that Kyoko removes Dokuga from the physical world just before any kind of battle, as it allows her to concentrate better if she needs to.
||Zanpakutō Information||
||Dokuga (毒の牙, Poison Fang)||
::Sealed Zanpakutō::
Dokuga's sealed form consists of a single wakizashi blade, the blade itself being 43cm in length. The blade is of the normal steel coloration, however it has been known that no matter the damage taken; the blade seems to retain it's shine. The tsuba (guard) on the blade itself is simple circle with intricate markings, that span outward from the top of the handle. The handle itself mainly black with diamond silver patterns up both sides, the hilt also a pure black which seems to not reflect any light whatsoever. The sheathe is also a pitch black in color, from the very top of the guard downwards (where sheathe meets guard), there are three silver lines that go around the entire sheathe. Three more exist after that, around 3 inches apart from one another for each of them. Kyoko used to wear her Zanpakutō on her back hip, however, after leaving the Gotei 13 her Zanpakutō now always rests attached to her left hip for easy access from her right hand. Also due to gaining Bankai, once drawing the weapon, the sheath disappears, or rather appears to melt away like acid and into thin air, only reappearing again moments before Kyoko sheathes Dokuga.

::Shikai Description::
Same as sealed.
::Shikai Abilities::
::Shikai Special Ability::
From release, Dokuga can be used in one main way. This is the ability to be able to extend in a perfectly straight line at tremendous speeds, the blade only seen as a glowing bright white line when this ability is activated, only returning to it's silver steel coloration when back to it's normal length and size. She is able to change the direction of the blade, any time during her attack towards her opponent as long as the blade has not connected with the target yet; mostly doing this mentally but sometimes physically as well. She can also maintain the extended blade and swing the activated Dokuga in wide arcs, attacking multiple targets quickly and simultaneously. Dokuga also returns to it's normal size at the same speed of release, as such many previous opponents have not been able to or have found it very hard to track the blade's movements; even those with excellent perception have trouble doing so. When in Shikai, the blade becomes double-edged and thus highly sharp on both sides, making her a hard opponent to face in close combat. Dokuga can extend up to one hundred and twenty times it's original length while within Shikai, the speed however, is unknown.
::Yūdokuke (有毒気, Poisonous Touch)::
The main ability of Dokuga, when disregarding the two main ways Kyoko's Zanpakutō can be used. When cuts are made by Dokuga's blade, poison is released into the wound inflicted. The bigger the cut leads to the more poison entering the foe's blood stream. Then, with the command "Pierce" (ピアース), the poison is activated and begins shutting down the nervous system of her target until they finally die as a result of the poisoning. Once the command is spoken, the poison will slowly spread over time, as once every minute the poison spreads further and little by little shuts down the nervous system and senses of the target by infecting the blood of a foe via this poison. Kyoko can use this technique on up to two people at one time, however doing more than three at once drains her spiritual pressure supply quite quickly. There is no limit to the number of wounds Kyo can leave on a target, as a result this ability is very useful when within a drawn out battle. Despite this poison being deadly, having worked with her Shikai for so long, Kyoko has become immune to her own blade's poison as well as various other types.
::Kiba No Hashira (牙の柱, Fang Pillar)::
Dokuga will begin the technique by emitting a very light golden hue of spiritual energy. Kyoko will designate a target zone by slashing the blade, which causes an energy pillar to erupt in that desired location. However, the intent of this technique isn't to hit the opponent with the pillar, but rather set up for the technique. From the pillar, several blades can form from all sides, moving at frightening speeds. Because the pillar is cylindrical, the range of which the blades can strike is seemingly absolute. When blades extend from the pillar, new blades can also form from existing sections of the extended blade, allowing Kyoko to quickly catch her opponent off-guard. Only six can be made at one time as not to drain Kyoko too quickly.
::Kibasazame (牙雨, Fang Rain)::
Activated with the command "Rain" (雨), Kyoko performs Kibasazame by placing Dokuga firmly into the ground below, she can form several blades to stab from the ground, surrounding an opponent as they are cut at all angles. Should an opponent be attacked through the ground with Kibasazame, Kyo can maintain the different blades closely around her adversary, creating a razor-sharp prison; making it very hard for any foe to escape without seriously hurting themselves in the process.
::Kibasukai (牙スカイ, Fang Sky)::
A variation of Kibasazame, by using the same command as stated previously, then raising the blade above her head. Blades then extend from the sky downwards at the opponent, raining down upon them from various aerial angles. This is best used against a ground of foes as a surprise attack. Once finished all blades that were used for this technique shatter into nothing, leaving smoke behind in their wake.
::Sensōgatari (千牙ワールド, Thousand Fang World)::
Activated with the command Flower (花咲く, Hanasaku), Kyoko can let her blade split in numerous smaller versions (12 max) to circumvent any obstacle in its way, with such accuracy that it could hit a man holding a woman captive without harming her in any way. Kyoko has shown the ability to use this technique to hit multiple targets standing close to each other, although it seems the separate blades cannot part from each other for a long distance or time before retracting again.
::Sutoraiki, Dokuga (毒の牙を、ストライキ, Strike Poison Fang)::
This is as Kyoko has stated, her strongest ability in Shikai if used correctly. She has stated previously that she can turn the poison from the Yūdokuke ability into a corrosive poison that dissolves molecules in the body as well as break down cells, and destroy skin. Like Yūdokuke, she only needs to wound the opponent for this technique to work. Uttering the words, "Strike Dokuga", which then produces an immediate effect. The only limitation of this skill is that the poison produced by Dokuga stays in area of the wound(s) created, and thus is unable to travel to things such as vital organs. Despite not targeting vital organs, if the wounds are only small the poison takes effect around on the wound and outwards to a maximum of five millimeters, therefore the bigger the wound the more damage done. However, the poison once having taken effect does not spread further into the body. With this ability, Kyo has been known to only use this at the very end of a battle; knowing the longer a battle is drawn out the better her chances of causing some major damage.
::Bankai Name::
Hakyoku No Dokuga (激変毒の牙; Cataclysmic Poisonous Fang)
::Bankai Description::
By extending her right arm fully outwards to the right side of her body, the tip of the blade facing the heavens and muttering the word 'Bankai', after which time Kyoko will turn the blade downwards the tip facing the ground or hell rather. It is then Dokuga's true power is unleashed upon her adversary, when released Kyo's Bankai takes on a sly and malicious aura to anyone nearby feeling as if they have lost all hope and are consumed within despair itself. Apart from this for the release of her Bankai, Kyoko nor her weapon does not change it's appearance at all. Retaining it's small wakizashi state.
::Bankai Abilities::
::Bankai Special Ability::
Hakyoku no Dokuga's Bankai form only further amplifies it's Shikai abilities, her blade's power, length and speed are vastly amplified. The blade's tremendous cutting power is significantly increased, to the point were even the strongest defenses are known to crumble before the relentless assault of Hakyoku no Dokuga. Like in Shikai, when extending the blade glows a pure white, doing so just under a second before the actual extension while in Bankai, in Shikai however this effect is not shown. The main advantage gained and the deadliest aspect of Hakyoku no Dokuga is not within its large destructive potential, extreme length, or wide sweeping range all of which are shown with full force during Bankai, but rather within the speed with which it can extend and contract its blade in one motion. As Hakyoku no Dokuga the blade is capable of reaching lengths of up to 10km (roughly 6.2 miles), at a speed of 800 times the speed of sound. Making Hakyoku no Dokuga not the longest Zanpakutō to exist currently, but the fastest.
::Bankai Special Ability Two::
The second and most likely deadliest aspect is perhaps not even Hakyoku no Dokuga’s sheer speed, but what happens when the blade extends. When extending in Bankai, for just a second during extension the blade is able to turn into tiny dust particles which can infiltrate an opponent's vital organs, or generally within their bloodstream. This allows for a large variation of abilities and with it being such a small and almost insignificant effect, no one notices this skill unless verbally being told about it by Kyoko herself.
::Bankai Special Ability Three::
Another ability of Hakyoku no Dokuga. This only further increases Kyoko’s control over poison to a point where any weapons are no longer needed as both her surroundings and body become a weapon. In Shikai limited to only the weapons she held, that poison now spreads further. When Bankai is active her entire body (especially her hands) are coated in a micro thin layer of poison that breaks down cells and is highly corrosive to anything it touches, this poison is generated from the activation of her Bankai and thus when out of the Bankai state this no longer applies, however the effects and previous amounts of poison do not disappear and must be removed by Kyoko herself; who holds on the only antidote to her poisons. Thus making not only Kyoko's weapon's deadly but now her entire body as well, the poison does not need a verbal command and starts to take effect as soon as the adversary revives a hit. The poison targets both the skin cells and muscles of the opponent. The larger the damage or hit taken to the adversary, the faster the poison will spread. However if Kyoko focuses her Spiritual Pressure onto the poison released, this in turn allows her to speed up the process. The lower the tier of the opponent, the more of an effect they will feel against this ability. Due to the power of this ability, it is very very rarely used by Kyoko, unless she is having extreme trouble dealing with a foe. As such, when her Bankai is active, unless by mental command this skill is always switched off. When using this ability, Kyoko does not need to be in contact with her Zanpakutō, she merely needs her Bankai to remain active.
::Mori-ken (森ブレード, Forest Blade)::
A technique which is normally activated when Kyoko releases her Bankai. As her Bankai is so rarely seen, many who have seen it think that this technique in itself is her Bankai on it’s own. Once started, blades will begin to protrude from the ground, the blades identical to Dokuga’s sealed form, however, the guard or hilt are not visible while using this technique. There are fifty blades in total and spread of a range up to fifty meters from Kyoko’s own body outwards. All of these blades can extend at the speed she chooses, and are able to easily catch an opponent off guard. It is this technique that makes Kyoko deadly to face when on land, and it’s only worse in the air.
::Kagami-ken (鏡剣, Mirror Blade)::
A useful ability with one drawback. It only works during the daytime or when sunlight is present, and thus must be used carefully. Kyoko once extending Hakyoku no Dokuga to it’s full length, it’s then that Kyoko controls what parts of the blade turns to dust, allowing her to refract the light from the sun to make the blade seem invisible. While it may seem like Kyoko only extended the blade once, in truth, she could have performed the technique over hundreds of times and the opponent would be none the wiser.
::Usomi (ブレードを欺く, Deceiving Blade)::
Sweeping her arm outwards into an arc like shape while keeping Hakyoku no Dokuga in her dominant hand then actives this technique. Usomi creates numerous clones of her Bankai blade (up to 20), she will then activate the technique, causing all of them to extend at the same rate of speed though, due to the numerous amount of new blades, it is much more destructive. These blades can target one adversary or many and can be placed wherever Kyoko chooses beforehand. As well as this, with this technique the speed of the extension is exceedingly fast, making this technique very hard to evade even for the most well trained and observant of foes.
::Mugen No Ken (無限の刃, Endless Blade)::
This technique is based off various previous techniques used both in Shikai and Bankai, and combines elements from each to make for one deadly assault. By compressing her Bankai's wide range, Kyoko is able to form a sphere around herself and her opponent which is unable to be entered from the outside and vice versa. The sphere is made up entirely of Hakyoku no Dokuga's blades. This can be used in various ways and methods depending on the situation. The sphere can also be used to isolate many opponents at once, while leaving Kyoko outside of the sphere if she chooses, allowing for an all out massacre. When inside the sphere, the size is never the same and changes according to Kyoko's wishes and those inside appear to be able to walk on thin air, a few meters just above where the blades begin. However the maximum size for any of these spaces is up to half a mile (804 meters), The sphere may also surround just Kyoko herself and act as a defense from stronger attacks. As well as this the seemingly endless amount of blades created, Kyoko retains not only her normal Zanpakutō but can create a second by using a small amount of her own spilled blood while this technique is active.
::Korosu, Hakyoku no Dokuga (殺す,激変毒の牙, Kill, Cataclysmic Poisonous Fang)::
By allowing the blade of Hakyoku no Dokuga to turn to dust for a moment while extending and contracting, a small sliver of the blade can be left within the body of the opponent. This can be done up to three times per battle, before it is unable to be used. The deadly poison held within the blade both dissolves and breaks down cells, thus allowing to kill an opponent at any time when the sliver of her blade is within her foe. When activated the poison instantly travels to the opponent’s heart, the result causes the target to completely break down and dissolve at the cellular level from the inside out.
||Hollowfication Information||
||Inner Hollow||
::Inner Hollow Appearance::
Kyoko's inner hollow, known as Miya to her and her Zanpakutō Spirit. This female seems to resemble a mix of both her mistress, and the spirit she shares Kyo's inner world with. Holding golden pools for eyes, with short silvery hair that hangs in front of her face and frames it quite nicely. The face of Miya is constantly hidden by a slim black mask. She remains dressed in most all black, save for a white undershirt. The most capturing features from this inner hollow are two things, both her hair and eyes. A brilliant molten silver that covers her head, short in length, alongside dark golden eyes embedded with an iris like a cat's; always looking for danger. Other than this, nothing stands out with regards to this female's appearance.
- Miya:
::Inner Hollow Personality::
Miya is a sly female by nature, although rarely shown. Her voice is normally calm, soft and quiet, which is the total opposite to most other hollow. She tends not to speak very often, but when she does, make sure you'll listen. Upon seeing her 'mistress' or 'queen' hurt, Miya seems to find glee and joy from this. Her habits resemble that much like a snake, waiting until Kyoko lowers her guard before she will then try to gain control over her body. When not overly sadistic trying to take control, Miya seems to be almost kind in her nature, sometimes condescending when talking about both Kyoko and Dokuga. But besides this, there isn't much to say, like Dokuga, Miya tends not to show her true nature until needed.
||Hollow Abilities||
::Hollow Mask::
Like many Vizard, Kyoko can call her mask on at her own will. She can summon it by pulling it onto her face via her index finger and thumb. Like some Vizard, she can take off and move the mask and still utilize her Hollow powers.
- Spoiler:
::Hollow Abilities::
::Overall Enhancement::
Like many fellow Vizard, when donning her mask, Kyoko gains a large boost in all areas. Such as Hoho, Hakuda, Zanjustu, Kidō, Reflexes, Strength etc. On top of this, Kyoko also seems to gain far more stamina than before, allowing her to fight for far longer and against far tougher opponents then she would ever normally. When in this state with all of her senses and skills enhanced further, there is little that can stop the woman known as 'The White Devil'.
::Reiatsu Enhancement::
Alongside increased abilities, Kyoko's reiatsu also gains an enhancement. With her hollow mask on, her reiatsu changed into that of a dual type. Mixed with both Shinigami and Hollow power. When in this form, her reiatsu turns a pitch black with a golden and white hue along the edges. When felt by others, her spiritual pressure feels as if someone were being crushed into dust, or falling into a deep pit of despair with no escape.
::Bala::
Kyoko's preferred hollow technique given to many hollow and vizard alike. From any body part, Kyo is able to fire this technique. The speed of it only seemingly increasing due to this young woman's own natural speed. The bala is colored a dark golden when fired. Due to her time training with her hollow powers, Kyoko has learnt how to use this without her mask on and still retain the full strength of the bala.
::Regeneration::
Due to her lack of cero, Kyoko has instead gained the ability of high-speed regeneration. By concentrating her reiatsu into the damaged area, the wound there is healed quickly. Small cuts are healed instantly, and even lost limbs can be regained within a few minutes of reiatsu. She can heal her vital organs however, this takes a long while to work and must be worked on outside of combat so Kyoko can focus on the process. As long as Kyoko has enough spiritual power left, she can keep on regenerating damage done to her body for as long as her mask is active. This is one of the powers that have gained the the nickname 'The White Devil', because no matter the damage she keeps getting back up.
