Zanpakuto

Spirit's Name- Namida no Tsuki (goes by Namida)
Sealed Appearance-
Namida no Tsuki is a wind-based zanpakuto that capitalizes on Tsukiryu's brute strength. The sealed form is a greatsword that's nearly as long as he is tall. He has also been known to channel his spirit energy through just the sealed sword to unleash powerful wind attacks, but these pale in comparison to the power of the shikai and bankai abilities.
Spirit's Description-
Namida is a very gentle and caring spirit, often giving Tsukiryu guidance when he needs it most. He was able to speak with her long before he achieved his shikai release, but she never revealed her full name until he was ready.
Shikai Release Phrase-Shed your sorrows, Namida no Tsuki
Shikai Description- See right side of above picture, and there's one for each hand.
Abilities- Namida no Tsuki is a primarily offensive blade, and the shikai release is able to produce waves of energy from each blade when he slashes with them. He can also produce similar waves when he punches with the claws, making them act like a laser barrage. He calls these attacks Mikazuki no arashi (Crescent Storm) and Mikazuki no ame (Crescent Rain).
Bankai Release Phase-Illuminate the night, Namida no Tsukino Akari.
Bankai Description-
Namida no Tsukino Akari is a giant razor ring with a handle that spans across the gap in the blade. It is 6ft across, meaning it is even taller than the wielder.
Abilities- Uses spirit energy to create a shield that spans across the gap in the blade. It can also be thrown, then retrieved by drawing in its spirit energy. It also has an energy attack that can be activated by spinning the ring like a staff, called the Getsumen no shokkuu~ēbu, or Lunar Shockwave. Finally, it's overall power is gauged by the phases of the moon. The closer the day is to the full moon, the more powerful it becomes.

Abilities

As mentioned before, Tsukiryu is very in tune with spiritual happenings, and can read the auras of others. He is also very well versed in healing kido, but is also a bakudo specialist.

History

Human World- Tsukiryu was a musician in the human world, well known for performing Western Country music. He was popular and talented, but his existence ended as a human due to a freak accident. During a rehearsal, his microphone shorted out and ended up electrocuting him. He died at the hospital soon afterward.
Early Soul Society- Tsukiryu struggled in the Soul Society to start with. He started a small clinic when he realized that there were a lot of curative herbs and items in the Soul Society, and he knew how to put them to use, since he often used alternative remedies in the human world.
In the 13 Court Guard Squads Tsukiryu is now a formidible swordsman and a prodigious medic, which has earned him a great deal of respect among the Court Guard Squads. He is a trusted medic and physician whom any shinigami can turn to for help and advice.

History

Human World- Axel was a fighter at heart; constantly getting in fist fights with local thugs in his hometown. It was amazing how he triumphed over five on one. Not all of his brawls were pointless as they were usually to help someone being tormented. Trying to get back at Axel, a few thugs captured a little girl and took her to an abandoned warehouse. It was only a trap for their leader to confront his biggest pest personally. Axel managed to pick off the peons before facing the head himself. This man wielded a large sword, sharp to the touch. Despite that, he managed to hold his own until the sword swinging musclehead decided to fight dirty. With the hostage nearby, he attempted to kill her before him. Axel dove forward and managed to push the girl out of the way but at the cost of his right arm. With a strong left uppercut, he knocked his pseudo-amputator out. Given the time they lived in, Axel knew he wouldn't make it and bleed to death shortly. He managed to save the girl but he couldn't help but feel as if he wasted his life in meaningless fights. As he closed his eyes, he wished he could have lived a more peaceful life.

Early Soul Society- Once Axel arrived in the Soul Society, he decided to follow through with his wish for a peaceful life. It seemed his missing arm carried over from one world to the next. It seemed more appropiate to hide it in an arm sling. Most people didn't notice except for Maria Rodriguez. She offered to replace his missing arm with a mechanical one. Figuring he had nothing to lose, he agreed to the operation. The process was painful and tiring but the outcome was more than he could ask for and then some. It was nice to have a right arm again and Maria offered free repairs anytime. Axel continued to wander around, doing simple errands for money. Every other week or so, he'd get checkups on his arm from Maria. Many months had past, Axel recently accepted a job to find medicinal plants for a doctor. While searching the plants location, he came across a Hollow. It was like nothing he'd ever seen before as it was evil in its simplest form. Although he vowed to live peaceful, he knew this thing threatened to disturb that peace. Axel fought with it but didn't stand a chance. A few shinigami appeared and dispatched of it quickly, causing Axel to admire their skill. From then on, he aspired to become a shinigami to preserve the peace of his life and the peace of others. He enrolled in the academy at the latest, his swordsmanship lacking while his kido excelled. Over the course of two years he learned to balance them over time. Axel soon graduated from the academy in the course of four years as opposed to the six.
