User:Tazuna Taylor



== History Tazuna, born and raised in the 3rd district of the rukon in his youth, is now the captain of squad 2. During his early stages of life (Childhood - 1-9) Tazuna roamed around Mt. Koifushi of the third district (Basically, the area that kaien took rukia to train to train in when she first entered squad 13). He was raised amongst 3 others. His 2 older brothers (Deceased) and his younger sister. His mother and father, Akihiro Hashibora and Yukari Hashibora struggled raising the 4 children, living off less than scraps of food, and were often attacked by bandits. After finally coming to the conclusion that he wanted his family to live and prosper, Akihiro Hashibora, the father figure of the family decided to enter the shinigami academy and become a shinigami. He quickly departed from his family, and was on his way. Enraged, Tazuna's elder brother also decided to pursue the same dream, and looked at the situation as though their father had abandoned them. Tazuna, still too young to even show signs of spiritual pressure, could do nothing but watch. ==

3 years after his father, Akihiro entered the academy, and became the 12th seat of squad 12, the man was killed off by another shinigami. His cause of death had been found out, and was the result of he and another shinigami posessing the same zanpakutou. Akihiro was executed by the shinigami. After the death of both of his older brothers and his mother, tazuna did his best only at a young age to protect his sister. In rage and devastation, Tazuna left off to enter the shinigami academy, in order to avenge his father. He had collected enough food for his sister, leaving her to be watched over by the only person that the family trusted...the 3rd district's merchant.

Powers And Abilities
Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: Tazuna shows very remarkable expertise in sword/katana handling. He is very skilled when it comes to footworking, dodging and giving blows. He is known to use the katana that is tied to his back (Rangiku Matsumoto Style) for fighting, but tends to use the Nodachi on his back out of rage. Because of the back katana's size, he can only manage using it when angry, shifting its weight to wherever he pleases, controling it as if he controled a regular katana.

Hakuda Expert: Being the captain of squad 2, Tazuna has trained since the day of his captaincy in hakuda to gain its expertise in the art of combat. He also uses this form of combat to develop enhanced strength to deliver powerful blows to the likes of his opponent.

High Spiritual Pressure: Being a captain of the gotei 13, Tazuna has very high levels of spiritual pressure. He doesn't tend to use it while roaming the soul society, but does so when needed, especially to that of the arrancar(s).

(Tazuna used all of his spiritual pressure (Him and Michiko as Lieutenants) whilst fighting the 3rd espada, Josho Yami. They also were found to be struggling against him while using this and their bankai.)

Hoho Expert: Tazuna is the captain of squad 2, and has been training in performing the higest level of hoho skills in his arsenal.

Shunko Mastery: As the captain of squad 2, tazuna trained extinsively to obtain shunko. With the help of his lieutenant, they both obtained said ability, and honed the skill to perfection.

Zanpakuto
Tenshi No Shirayuki ( Angel Of White Snow): In its sealed form, Tenshi No Shirayuki resembles a green and white nodachi, attached to tazuna's back with an all green strap. It has a circle hilt that has 3 intersections that cross over eachother like a cross. The hilt is also white in color in contrast to the rest of the sword.

Shikai: Its shikai is activated with the command Freeze (Toketsu). Tazuna holds the nodachi horizontally, and then takes his left hand, swiping it down his sword similar to renji, and transforming it into a zanpakuto that is white in color, and looks similar to sode no shirayuki, without the long, extended and fabricated cloth. The blade itself is made from frozen carbon dioxide, and its techniques are made from the elemental compound as well.

Touketsu No Kami (Frozen Shard): This was the first technique Tazuna achieved when he'd first gained shikai. The user strikes a particular spot in their direct area, and this causes a miniature cloud to form. From the cloud, small ice-sicles rain and charge at the opponent. After coming in contact with the opponent's skin, they burst into small flowers that take root underneath the skin of the opponent.

Touketsu Kagami No Kiba (Frozen Mirror's Fang): This ability allows the user to create a massive gust of ice. If contact is made, a large uproar of snow is created that completely freezes the opponent and the area they stand within.

Bankai Kori Tenshi No Ikari (Ice Angel's Wrath): In his bankai form, Tazuna's nodachi shreds into spritual particles. They then separate, and blast into the skies, turning the heavens dark and heavy with black clouds. After the clouds form, limitless snow begins to fall from the heavens. The snow however, is very dangerous and sharp, and can be controled similar to Byakuya's bankai. The ice doesn't cut tazuna because he is located in a zone of stable and solidified reiatsu that circles around tazuna, acting like a shield that does not harm the snow in any way. The snow built upon the ground can be controlled and anything snow as long as it comes from Tazuna's bankai. In this form, a halo, completely white in color, also dawns tazuna's head, symbolizing the likeness of an angel. The snow in this case is highly sharp and can cut through a wide variety of things that it comes into contact with. In this form, all ice is made of dry ice or frozen carbon.

Bankai Special Function: If fighting with comrades and Tazuna happens to use Bankai, Tazuna can replicate the halo upon his head and place them upon his comrades. This causes a similar "safe-zone" to form around them so that they are not harmed by the snow.

Hakai No Kori No Domu (Icy Dome of Destruction): This technique flatens all ice that has been layered onto the ground and curves it upward into a massive dome over he and the opponent. The snow is still however permeable to the dome and can still be used to attack. From within this dome, anything that touches the walls from outside or inside is completely absorbed into the dome and builds onto its structural sturdiness.
