Zanpaktou:
Name: Soudaikumo (Grand Cloud)
Spirit:
Initial state:
Release Phrase : "Breathe, Soudaikumo."
Shikai state:
Description: After the release words are said a gust of wind howls by as the blade begins to sharply curve and three small, binder sized holes are punched out along the blade. The basic ability while in shikai is that the blade gathers wind like a vacuum and stores it around the blade so overtime the wind adds up and becomes an extension of the blade confusing opponents. Using his reiatsu Krin can release the wind around the blade in two basic attacks that he enjoys to use in creative ways.
1. Wind Slash: A simple release of wind as he slashes making the wind take a crescent shape.
2. Wind Tunnel: Slashing sideways the wind travels through the holes along the blade causing a tunnel of high velocity, circling wind that can trap an opponent and cut through flesh easily.
3. Thunder Orb: An attack derived from the Wind Tunnel yet special. Holding his sword vertically he begins to rotate the blade causing wind to travel through the holes. Instead of making a wind tunnel the wind ends up connecting due to the fixed rotation as opposed to a slash and begins to be shaped into a sphere due to the curve of the blade. Now all of this wind is rotating at very high speeds electricity is created because of the compression and pressure in the sphere. When launched it has a grenade effect to where when the rotation of the wind is disturbed it explodes in a violent storm of razor sharp winds and electricity.
Bankai:
True name : Konjikimoya Soudaikumo (Golden haze grand cloud)
Description: Upon summoning his bankai his sword deteriorates into a gold haze that begins to cover his entire body. When it clears a grand red armor with gold trimmings yet appears to have been built with holes indented up like a hill with gold trimmings around the hole. Like his bankai the armor attracts wind into the holes and using his reiatsu he can release the wind through the holes for defensive and offensive purposes. He can also compress the air in holes to create a lighting blast he can shoot out.
Special Accessories: Beads worn around his neck for meditation.
Skills: Highly trained in japanese and worldly martial arts, very agile due to his martial arts training, has a very keen eyesight and has creative perspectives.
Personality: Krin is a kind and enlightened man however he is very lazy. Often found sleeping he rarely likes to be active and is usually last to go out to fight. However when he truly gets serious his saggy posture stiffens, his half closed eyes become fierce and his sheepish voice becomes firm. Often Krin is the man who keeps people in perspective by adding thing they often have not considered, and while he may be apathetic to most things he knows when to be serious and when to be gentle.
Biography/History: Born into a middle class family and coasted through school. Everyone recognized him as truly smart but his apathy to schoolwork led to average grades. However his test scores were something truly to be admired. He graduated his high school class with the second highest exam scores and went to college majoring in cultural martial arts studies. As a kid he always seemed to be fascinated by martial arts. He felt the ideals behind it were pure and the way the broke down the human body in order to formulate their techniques was fascinating. After college he started to pick up the martial arts studies. Japan was a melting pot for the martial arts allowing him to learn many different kinds and he even took tricks to the native homelands of that martial art to learn it. One night as he was walking home from the grocery store a hollow that was on rampage caught sight of him and attacked without warning. The hollow had previously been fighting the residential soul reaper however had made him groggy from the ongoing battle and used that chance to make a break for it. Sadly the soul reaper did not recover and pursue the hollow until after Krin had died however he did manage to slay the hollow with a surprise strike before Krin’s soul was devoured. Even though most people after they go to soul society forget the majority of their human life, one thing Krin remembered though was his martial arts knowledge because the training for it was so vigorous.
Signature/Patented Technique:
Kenpai Hakuda 7 forms.
Throughout his martial arts studies Krin has developed 7 forms of Hakuda for any combat situation he should encounter.
Form 1 Assai Hirate: The crushing palm form. A very aggressive striking style based on releasing reiatsu into the palms and thrusting them taking principles from Sumo, Karate, Silat, Boxing, and Kalyppryattu.
Form 2 Tetsuashi: The iron leg form. A style in which devastating kicks are the main attacking component that can be used to keep distance from the opponent. Often is used at the beginning of a fight to gauge the opponent by keeping a safe distance. It takes principles from Tae Kwon Do, Savate, Muay Thai, and Kung Fu.
Form 3 Mageyasui Hourui: The flexible stronghold form. A grappling style in the event he ends up on the floor with his opponent or his other styles have proved to be ineffective. It is derived from the styles of Judo, Sambo, Ju-Jitsu, and Pankration.
Form 4 Kotaimamori: The solid defense form. A defensive style designed to keep the opponent in check and at a distance for if he comes close he will be quickly dealt with. The style has a combined form of a Muay Thai and Savate. It uses Savate’s snap kicks to keep the opponent at a distance and if they close in they are smashed by Muay Thai elbows and punches. Because of the Muay Thai stance the forearm is used to block punches and upper body attacks while the knees are used to deflect kicks. It takes principles from Muay Thai, Savate, Tae Kwon Do, Krav Maga, and Ju-Jitsu.
Form 5 Sudebanryoku: The bare handed attack form. This is a style used against armed opponents in which by focusing reiatsu on the epidermis of his appendages and in some defensive situations his torso and neck, it creates a semi armor like effect allowing his limbs to at least parry the weapon without sustaining large damage. It should be noted that the physics of reiatsu still apply. If a greater focused reiatsu attacks his coated appendages it will cause damage which is why Krin still try’s to avoid a much contact as possible but merely re-directs it. It takes principles from Krav Maga, Ninjutsu, Tae Kwon Do, and Sambo.
Form 6 Miyabitaittou: The elegant blade form. This is Krin’s form with a zanpakuto. It combines swordsmanship you would find in squad 11 training but turns the blade into more of a shield to parry the attack and open up the opponent to his martial arts. In this style he abuses his long legs to cause damage as his sword deals with the opponent’s weapon. It becomes even more effective when in shikai mode as the curve of the blade will deflect the opponents sword leaving them vulnerable. It is derived from Kenjutsu, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, Kung Fu, Savate, Silat, Kalarippyattu, and Ninjutsu.
Form 7 Majikkuhando: The magic hand form. This is the style in which he combines basic Kido with his martial arts. It can range from using hado number one to create distance or using shunko's mass kido energy build up to add upon to his skin creating an artificial "Hierro". It should be noted even with this makeshift Hierro the physics of reishi still apply. If a greater one is applied it can break it.
