"There's nothing I hate more...than wasting time.”
"Everything is subject to time, and time is subject to me. In a sense, I control it all.”
"If this does not apply to my research or aid me deeper in my studies, I would genuinely appreciate not being disturbed."
"The flow of time is an absolute law whether we are in the World of the Living, the Seireitei, or Hueco Mundo. Even gods of death like the Soul Reapers follow it naturally. None are immune to its influence."

Notable Features: With an air of strict professionalism aided by a natural confidence and poise that demands respect, the first thing typically noticed by those who interact with the young shinigami is his presence itself. Once bypassing the somewhat stifling atmosphere, his most noticeable feature that typically draws the full attention of the onlooker, is his waist length amber-brown dreadlocks traced in gold. The older the man gets, the more gold clippings he seemingly attaches to his hair, currently adorning himself with a total of three. The largest of the three serving to keep his dreads bundled into a ponytail, while the other two remain attached to two individual dreadlocks - each serving as a limiter and suppressant of his own Reiryoku. He currently adorns his crown in six thickened dreadlocks held into a ponytail, with the sides of his head shaved low after an encounter with the flames of Genryusai Yamamoto which singed off the majority of the dreads on his left side.
Personality: Eizoku is a relatively formal young man, being notably decisive in his speech, and
intentional in every action he takes. Despite a rather rough and unfavorable upbringing within the outer-most districts of the Rukongai, he is naturally nothing less than graceful and dignified in everything he says and does. Rarely committing to anything without absolute
purposeful intent, as his biggest vexation is wasting time or being continuously ineffective or inefficient. He is a highly impatient man, and finds absolutely no delight in lingering or wasting time idling in activities that don't promote continuous growth or progress in some way, shape or form. Because of this unbalanced quirk, when not on duty or assigned with any major tasks, he is often found busying himself training within the recesses of the Fifth Division quarters, or increasing his knowledge elsewhere within the public library archives of the Seireitei. Eizoku is known to utilize his Shikai in the privacy of his living quarters while reading, in order to drastically increase the number of books he is able to complete in one sitting, estimated to be around no less than fifty per hour. With his genius intellect, and an insatiable drive for knowledge, Eizoku is able to not only remember every word of a piece of literature he has read, but is also able to recite it back word for word without error. Because of this factor in general, the young male has always excelled in all his studies, and has memorized the standardized textbooks and laws of Soul Society from cover to cover.
Obdurate in his beliefs, standards, and morals, he is unwavering in the face of pressures and stress when it pertains to
his values of morality, justice, and honor instilled into
him. Because of this factor, he is able to maintain a professional, yet refreshingly genuine and serene air about himself - while also holding a heavy influence on those he chooses to associate with. Although, his manner of speech aided with a prolonged presence has been known to inevitably create a rather stifling atmosphere amongst the more lively members of his division or those within his immediate company.
Despite being an active soldier, Eizoku isn't fond of violence in itself, and often takes preventative measures to both warn and avert his opposer from taking a course of action that could potentially lead to fatal altercations. However, despite being against the acts of brutality, he is far from being a pacifist, and rather enjoys the thrill and exhilaration that battle brings because of the knowledge that can be obtained from participation. He views every battle as a means for of obtaining more knowledge. Allowing him to truly test the extents of his analytical and strategical prowess, while executing his own series of traps and techniques.
Development Through a Zanpakto:
Eizoku's development is heavily do to both the connection and ability of his Zanpakto. With the ability to absorb and freely manipulate and utilize time overall, Eizoku has ingeniously used this as a way to significantly speed up his training processes - developing and perfecting a multitude of styles in the process. While also inadvertently challenging and improving his overall base stats as well. The ability to do so has earned Eizoku the alias of being a "prodigy". However in actuality, his development as far as the rate in which he achieves and masters disciplines and arts, is completely due to the ability of his blade. When in an active Shikai state, the world outside of his domain, passes by at an extremely slow pace, nearly stagnant, and remains as such so long as he has his blade within his grasp. When in this state, his development and improvement to him, appear to be going at the same rate as the typical Shinigami around him, however in actuality, Eizoku's improvement is nearly ten times that of what a typical training of the sorts would do to him or any other Shinigami. This however does have extreme repercussions on Eizoku's body after the effects of continuous use weigh in. Typically causing physical damage across the board unto his body. This drawback initially impeded his progress, resulting in him initially avoiding such training methods for quite an extensive period of time. Over time however, after mastering the use of his ability even further, he found it possible to key in on smaller more notable aspects to apply the ability of his Shikai to, eventually discovering that it could be used as a healing method, significantly expediting the natural recovery rate and process of his wounds, both internal and external. His proficiency of this ability, is so masterful that enemies will often find should they not inflict a debilitating blow in a decisive strike, the wounds, however shallow, would seem to heal instantaneously. Having found such a counter to the extreme fatigue and heavy physical toll that his initial training inflicted, he again began his training regiment once more, and continuously improved at an astounding rate, focusing in mainly on the aspects of Kido and Zanjutsu, whilst the fatigues experienced raised his stamina and other relative base stats all around.
Reiryoku Level: Great Spiritual Power
Reiryoku Control: Mastered
Since well within his youth, Eizoku's Reiryoku levels have always been significantly higher than the overall standardized norm, and has been the primary factor in which separates his overall standing and capabilities apart from the other Shinigami in both his skill, range, and age group. Born with a naturally high reserve of Reiryoku, Eizoku, although already believing to have fully tapped into what he believed to be the full availability of his Spiritual Power, has unknowingly been blessed with untapped pools of Reiryoku which seemingly lie dormant inside of him, gradually releasing and pooling into his main confines and reserves as he ages and his overall proficiency and skill level increases in the various arts. This is typically bought on by overexertion of himself or near death experiences while on the border of exhaustion - two situations which seemingly occur far too often in the boy's profession. Eizoku's reserves allow him to both effectively and efficiently cast back to back spells of considerate potency and magnitude without immediately fatiguing or losing power in the overall effect of his castings as they continue. When under extreme stress and potentially fatal danger, these
untapped pools of Reiryoku seemingly temporarily unlock, resulting in an overflow of spiritual power that floods in a manner verging upon the lines of controlled chaos, providing Eizoku with a temporary boost in his overall capabilities at the cost of his consciousness, leaving him completely reliant upon nothing more than instinct.
Shortly after his enrollment period into the academy, Eizoku found himself growing at an exponential rate in skill, in rather short intervals of time. Because of this, he quickly surpassed his peers in nearly every aspect and category the academy had to offer, gaining him the title of a
"Child Prodigy" shortly after his start. He particularly excelled in the field of controlling his Reiryoku, something in which he already held an absurd natural proficiency in before he had even enrolled to receive proper instruction. His surgical like control and precision during his enrollment period, allowed him to both create and execute unique feats unheard of to the Soul Society until a couple years down the line from once he debuted as an official Shinigami, also drawing the attention of the Kido Corps. With his heightened level of control and aided development within the Fifth Division, he became capable of casting multiple high-level Kido spells in succession without experiencing any form of lethargy, often not requiring an incantation to do so.
Sensing Reiryoku: Expert
In line with Eizoku's calm disposition, and insatiable thirst for knowledge, the young Shinigami naturally utilizes his sensory capabilities as yet another factor of analytical data collection. Being skilled enough in the art to not only distinguish, but also isolate and make quick differentiation between a multitude of individuals by means of their Reiryoku patterns. Through this, he is able to discern their overall capability to an extent and actively gauge their approximate strengths, defenses, and Reiatsu levels. Eizoku is able to utilize his sensory to go beyond the mere scope of basic pattern analysis, being proficient enough to actively perceive emotions, intentions, and the intended movements of his subject with relative ease and fluidity.
When paired with his genius intellect and the abilities his Shikai allots, Eizoku is able to dominate the battlefield and force control over nearly any situation which comes his way. This typically results in the man's lust of knowledge and his drive to promulgate the information to overflow, resulting in him actively calling out the expected technique or strategy his opponent desires to carry out before they are able to do so in completion - creating an immediate intimidation and pressuring on the battlefield. As arrogant and reckless as it may seem to some, when utilized effectively in this capacity, Eizoku is able to drive his opponents into taking last second high risk strategies and actions, without properly thinking of the outcome. This grants him the opportunity to not only force the tide of the battle into his own desirable direction, but also prevents any new effective strategies from formulating while also allowing him to incorporate his own, so long as he continues pressuring.
Reiatsu: Master |
Reiatsu Colors: Honey Gold
Eizoku is not an individual to simply utilize his spiritual pressure as a means of showing domination or superiority, but rather uses it in order to gauge the response of the one made subject to it before taking note if he should seemingly increase or decrease the amount he releases respectively. He believes in conservative fighting, never utilizing or expending more energy than necessary. Despite his Reiatsu not holding the capabilities to tear the immediate environment around him asunder, his extreme control over both exerting and withstanding both his spiritual pressure, along with that of others, stands noteworthy. He is capable of competing and withstanding the pressures exuded by vice captains with relative ease, with a few captains holding the exception, with some form of difficulty.
Reiatsu Shape: When released and the full brunt of his Reiatsu leaks out in mass volume, it takes on the shape of various near translucent roman numerals, causing them to appear and fade away at random. Imagery synonymous to his control and manipulation of time and the components that are defined by it.
Reiatsu Effect(s): Hinderance
The effects of Eizoku's Reiatsu is similar to his Zanpakto's ability, in the sense that it tends to affect an individual's sense of time and reaction. Those made subject to the effects of his Spiritual Pressure will find themselves having difficulty maintaining control of their body, not only in the physical sense of simply impeded movement, but also in the sense that their perception of time is severely misconstrued. Consequently resulting in them believing they are moving perhaps at their regular or relatively notable speeds, yet in actuality they are simply creeping, inching onward at an almost stagnant pace. Their bodily functions are also made subject to this, resulting in some systems lagging and moving out of sync in irregular intervals falling behind, such as the extreme slowing of the circulation in an individuals body with a lagging of the respiratory system, potentially resulting in an individual's own body working against them without Eizoku so much as having to lift a finger.
Reiatsu Type: Standard
Zanjutsu Level: Master Swordsman
Eizoku's proficiency with blades have always proved exceptionally high, even during his youth and time at the academy. He had always held the innate understanding that weapons should be used as if they were further extensions of one's body. Every aspect mattered, from the wielding, the grip, the drawing, the executions of various swings; everything has a purpose and set place. Anyone could grab a blade and swing, however without the correct fundamentals and foundations it proves the same as not having a weapon at all. This ideology, in accord with the fact of Eizoku's extremely close connection with his Zanpakto, makes him an expertise in the field of swordsmanship in his own right. In addition with his main forms of fighting revolving around Kido, and Zanjutsu, Eizoku has successfully created and perfected multiple styles and forms of combat which tend to deviate from the structured normalities found in most linear swordplay tactics. His rather fluid, flexible, and adaptable fighting styles allow for him to challenge and confuse even the most accomplished and well-founded of swordsmen.
*Chien Burēdo: (遅延ブレード, "Delayed Blade")
A style created by Eizoku, founded upon the natural effects of his Reiatsu. By embedding and shrouding his blade in his own form of compressed cloaking, Eizoku is able to achieve a blade with Reiatsu so potent, that it affects the sight and perception of any individual who looks upon it, creating false after-images after even the most subtle of movements, giving the appearance and belief that the blade is moving either slower or faster than the actual movements of the wielded weapon. These after images are created due to altered perception of time and last for a total of five seconds before completely fading. With enough exposure to the effects of time perception by means of Eizoku's Reiatsu, the cerebellum portion of the afflicted individual’s brain becomes directly affected and temporarily damaged from extensive periods of strain and confusion, resulting in the inability to judge distance, when to stop, along with loss of coordination.
This style is further enhanced with the activation of his Shikai, placing the same effect that was originally unique only to the blade, onto his actual body; making him a walking illusion in a sense, and likely leaving any opponents, regardless of their range, in complete discombobulation or disarray, unable to completely grasp the situation before they become subject to the effects of having a strained cerebellum. When utilized with his released Zanpakto, Eizoku becomes able to release ranged physical crescent slices into the atmosphere that take a linear approach proceeding directly ahead, however these slices ,being that they are released directly from his blade, have the capabilities of speeding up, slowing down, or not moving altogether presenting Eizoku with an extremely flexible fighting style that could be used in a direct assault or something synonymous to a set up.
*Nagabiku Hakai: (長引く破壊, Lingering Destruction
Once his Shikai has been activated, similar to his Delayed Blade style, Eizoku's physical techniques, with Kido included, are able to be released and linger upon the battlefield for prolonged periods of time whilst maintaining their full power and force in a constant state. This being made possible by means of temporarily eliminating the dispersion and weakening effects bought about by the passing of time on a particular subject. With this style in play, Eizoku is able to make the most efficient use of any and every technique he puts forth, without waste; capable of using or reusing techniques and physical assaults that were thought to have been dodged, parried, or countered. With such capabilities, along with the ability to render any stagnant techniques unseeable by means of masking, Eizoku is able to completely pressure and control a battle into going into the exact direction he desires with little to no difficulty, even allowing him the capability of pressuring a multitude of opponents controlling the tide of battle.
*Kawahagi no Chien: (皮剥ぎの遅延, Delayed Flaying)
Perhaps his most utilized form of fighting, Eizoku utilizes the maximum speed allotted to him by his active Shikai, in order to guise all of his actions as a singular motion, surpassing the speed at which an individual’s eyes can detect by ordinary means. From the perception of the enemy his movements appear to be one fluid motion, however the reality of the technique is that a singular strike, can be just as very well be a flurry of over one thousand strikes in but a moment. Because of this, his opponents typically find their defense against his presumed “strike” to be ineffective and find close quarter combat with the man to be a nigh impossible task without both the discernment to recognize what’s actually occurring, and a means to effectively create a counter. He often imbues these with a stasis kido that causes any and all whom come into contact with the man to be temporarily halted in place by the limb(s) or objects that come into contact with it. This brief moment can cause the relinquishing of one’s weapon in order to free themselves, or completely be the gateway necessary to create an opening for the downfall of an enemy. Once an opponent is halted of trapped, Eizoku generally finishes up by creating a complete stasis spell upon the target at hand, resulting in a full on immobilization.
Hohō Level: Expert
Although naturally harboring an unimpressive base speed, and failing to rival any notable individuals within the Seireitei in regards to it, Eizoku is the epitome of average in every facet pertaining heightened movement. Yet, despite harboring the perfect set of abilities to enhance this aspect of himself at an expedited rate, due to the properties of his own Zanpakto, he has ironically been negligent in doing so. In a continuous loop of irony, upon the activation of the man's Shikai, his once underwhelming status of speed is exponentially increased by a near immeasurable extent. By utilizing his properties of time manipulation, Eizoku becomes able to keep up and outpace even the most masterful users of Hohō with relative ease. Along with his drastic increase in speed, his perception of the outside world is sped up to such an extent that everything moves at a constant, near stagnant pace. This allows the third seat not only to greatly outpace and outmaneuver anyone in opposition to him, but also to perceive and react in accord with the happenings, rightly labeling him by all means as the fastest man in the Seireitei once in his shikai is activated.
The man's speed in this state is so astounding, that his movements when desired, are able to leave behind several afterimages in his wake. Due to the speed boost granted, Eizoku is also capable of hopping between his created afterimages and delivering individualized attacks from each of them. Because of this, each holds a mass to them, and as such are nearly indistinguishable from the original. The factor setting the man's utilization of afterimages apart from the
Speed Clone technique, is that each of these clones are able to deliver a series of different blows rather than simply being a mimic of one individual action.
* Kuronomansā no shinkirō (クロノマンサーの蜃気楼,
Chronomancer's Mirage)
By the complex analysis of an opponent within battle, Eizoku is able to read habitual fighting styles, focal habits, thought pattens, and physical maneuverings of an opponent to the most minute of details. In doing so he is able to construct a generalized perception and prediction as to how the battle will continue at a steady pace. Because of this, he has become able to pair his astute observations, intake, and strategical prowess, with his significant speed and abilities granted to him when in an active Shikai state. After a complete analysis, Eizoku is then able to guide and “react” accordingly in a sense to the assumed techniques which will be utilized, and enact a full scenario by leaving an after mirage in his steed, whilst his actual body encroaches from another location. A clear indication of this technique is the presumed failure to correctly respond to an action, and receives a hit without reflecting any actual damage. Should the interruptive strike or technique be decisive enough, the after image in itself will immediately disperse trailing back to the actual location of Eizoku
Hakuda Level:Hakuda Practitioner
Eizoku's focus on Kido and swordsmanship has resulted in him being utterly despicable in regards to his hand to hand capabilities. Knowing only how to correctly wield a blade as part of his own body, the irony is the fact that he cannot even use his own body as such. Without a blade in his hand, he is often at his greatest disadvantage as is nearly hopeless in a physical battle without it. He often does everything in his overall power to avoid engaging an enemy without his blade, and will ultimately seek to retreat or find another means of finding or creating some form of weapon he could potentially utilize, often using his Kido to create makeshift blade like entities to wield. Despite lacking in hand to hand combat, his movements are very agile and coordinated.
Kido Skill Level: Kidō Master
Eizoku has dedicated nearly his entire life thus far to that of learning and mastering the art of Kido. His deep obsession for the arts and his natural tendency to achieve a beyond thorough understanding of it, compels him to continuously dive deeper into the arts. He devotes countless hours towards his studies of Kido, examining everything from the most minute detail ranging from the effects of voice inflections and posture on the released spell when casting, to the duration of each spell depending upon the class, branch, and caster. With well over a hundred years worth of studies, knowledge, application and training; compiled by his Zanpakto's ability which progresses the young man's overall training experience and application nearly five times as fast as the average training session by the manipulation of time, Eizoku has theoretically had the equivalent amount of practice and study application to that of over 1,000 years. Giving him far more than an edge on even the highest ranked Shinigami within soul society, even amongst highest ranking members of the Kido Corps despite his rather young age. As such, he is unrivaled in application, modification, flexibility, and use of Kido, and very well marks the epitome of a true Kido master.
As a result of his vast knowledge and experience pertaining to Kido, it has become his main form of both offense and defense, as he proven himself proficient and skilled enough to not only cast and efficiently utilize high-ranking Kido spells without the need for an incantation with full control, but also the ability to create his own spells and styles in the arts. When incorporating his Shikai, Eizoku's prowess in kido increases at a significant rate as it gives him a nearly limitless amount of time in order to not only cast full incantations which serve to strengthen his spells, but also gave the gateway into a new aspect of enchanting, strengthening, combining and binding his spells both before, during, and after the initiation and release. Resulting in amaranthine-esque spells of fearsome magnitude, speed, strength, and complexity in the likes of which have yet to be seen in the soul society - along with the creation of new subcategories of Kido unique and known only to and by him.
Unlike most who view Kido as nothing more than techniques that should be used in instances of surprise attacks or when an individual is off guard, Eizoku utilizes it as his main form of combat, creating both his own offensive and defensive style, along with furthering the application of previous spells that have always been established adding some form of unique deviation which simultaneously benefiting him while occasionally catching an opponent off guard due to their familiarity with the average ordinary spells, these being classified as modified spells. His most well known use of modified Kido spell being Bakudou #81 Dankū, rather than the average appearance of a translucent wall, Eizoku is known to manipulate the shape into a dome like encasement providing him a complete protection from all angles, capable of withstanding up to Kido #90 without complication.
Eizoku's main specialty within his specialty of Kido, resides in spells of restriction and defense. Around to fifty year mark in his studies, when paired with his zanpaktos ability this equates to over 500 years of experience and application at the current time, he has created a sub branch of binding Kido which he notes as Seishin Fūin. Unlike most spells with their own independent singular power source and purpose, Eizoku has created his own tier of “dependent” spells which revolve around his conservative and efficient style of fighting. These grouping of spells fall more so under the category of being combination or follow up spells, due to the nature in which they are “formed” and take effect. Utilization of these spell require an intertwined double casting singular word incantation, and is completely dependent upon the primary spell(s) layered with it. Unable to be cast in their own right , these spells feed off the residual Reiryoku of the caster, drawn from previous spells or techniques lingering in the atmosphere.
*Zanryū Ketsugō (残留結合, Residual Binding):
When enough residual energy is accumulated, the user holds the ability to form a hexagonal prism like structure, its width, span, and durability revolving around the quantity and potency of the residual spirit energy being utilized. When successfully formed, anything with a Reiryoku pattern differing from that of the caster’s, is contained within the barrier like encasement and made subject to its effects – bound restriction. The barrier, taking the appearance of stray electricity bound by vibrant orbs of Reiryoku, rapidly constrict upon command of the user. This rapid restriction results in all those within the barrier, with exception of the caster due to their Reiryoku Pattern, to be pulled in and bound in together. Once bound, all movement is restricted. The less amount of individuals contained, the stronger the barrier is to break.
*Zanryū Puru (残留プル, Residual Pull)
When enough residual energy is accumulated, the spell activates on command of the caster. Once activated, the solidified footing beneath is shrouded in a vibrant blue hue which holds an affect similar to intense magnetism and gravity. Any individuals with a Reiryoku pattern differing that that of the caster, is forcibly dragged down and held in place by whichever portion of their being makes contact with the lingering lagoon of blue energy pooling upon the ground.
Hōfuku Haaku: (報復の把握, Retribution's Grasp) Eizoku while during his time as a seated member within the Fifth Division managed to develop a highly adaptable duality Kido spell in which allows him to both freely attack and defend simultaneously. By charging and channeling his Reiryoku, partnering with his masterful control of Kido, the Chronomancer creates an array of golden hands that emerge from a solidified medium in mass, often the ground. After emergence, the user is able to actively control the reach and movements of each limb. Contact with the hands of this spell causes the Reiryoku to be expelled and absorbed in mass from the victims body, into the incorporeal arms themselves. While the spell is still active, after a moderate amount of Reiryoku has been obtained, the stored energy can be used to attribute or cast a separate kido spell utilizing the incorporeal limb as a catalyst. After utilization of a separate spell, the limb responsible for the casting is then dispersed. The spell is ended after the final limb of the technique has been dispersed.
Sunatchi: (スナッチ, Snatch) - The user creates a temporary yet impressively strong gravitational center that lingers for only a moment before abrupt dissipation, causing the surrounding atmosphere to react to the sudden collapse. This creates a brief, yet intense pulling of all physical components within an area. This spell is used primarily to aid Eizoku in rendering airborne projectile strikes futile, and assists in drawing in strikes or spells that leave him with an unfavorable reaction time. However, if used incorrectly, this technique is able to drag the user into the pull.

Skills and Abilities:
Genius Intellect:Eizoku posses a heightened form of intelligence and perception which pairs perfectly with his talent of strategizing. He is able to quickly analyze an object or technique after simply seeing it once, and come to a near complete understanding of its workings and complexities. Normally after seeing a technique in action and making a quick analysis, the same technique or strategy will not work against him a second time. It is because of this that he is able to quickly adapt to nearly anything thrown his way no matter how senseless or off the wall a technique or fighting style may seem. It is through this intelligence that he progresses so quickly throughout any field of study he participates in, grasping a beyond thorough understanding of it in little to no time at all.
Master Strategist: Complimented by his intelligence, Eizoku is unmatched in strategizing. He has an undeniable talent for thinking things through well in advance, and making decisive and accurate decisions quickly in battle, and is seemingly perceptive to any situation at hand. When paired with the use of his Shikai, he states that he has what feels like an "infinite" amount of time to think things through and create a multitude of plans and outline a plethora of tactics on the spot. When peering through the vicinity effected by his Shikai, all actions outside appear to be happening in "slow-motion", despite the actuality of the speeds occurring. This gives the young man the opportunity to not only effectively counter and avoid whatever comes his way with extreme confidence, but also the ability to calmly think things through without pressure or haste.
Temporal Intuition: Eizoku holds an internal time-clock in a sense, granting him the innate ability to distinguish and determine the exact time and date, at is at all times regardless of location, perceptional lagging, or properties an environment may hold. Using his perfectly attuned internal clock, he is able to analyze and calculate time, easily keeping track of anything down to the nanosecond. With this ability, he has become easily able to pick up, thoroughly analyze, and time all tactics, techniques, and abilities - regardless of the speed or lifeline of the technique or skill utilized. Providing him even further data to add to into his strategies and knowledge bank. With such an innate ability, opponents who manipulate perceptional components of time often find their attempts to be futile and completely ineffective.
Despite never going to the world of the living, Eizoku has always had hopes of one day being allowed or given a reason to step out of the only world he knows, and into something outside of his own norms. He holds a Gigai in hopes of being assigned one day.
Zanpakuto Name: Kuronosu:(クロノス,
"God of Time")
Zanpakuto Appearance:
When in its sealed state, Eizoku's blade takes on the form of a typical katana blade wrapped in a magenta cloth - its habaki, seppa, suka, and kashira being coated in pure gold. The weighted sheath being black. Eizoku carries his Zanpakto upon the left side of his waist secured firmly by the wrappings of his belt. Eizoku is rarely if ever seen without his zanpakto by his side.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
"A true bond with one's Zanpakto doesn't revolve simply upon reliance when deemed necessary, but rather an absolute harmony, understanding, and trust. Just like how every individual is unique, so is the same for developing the relationships with your Zanpakto. Albeit hard work is indeed essential, not every bond requires a forging through brimstone and fire to progress. The hardest individual to learn is yourself, understanding that, will save you all the time in the world when striving to develop a true bond with your blade - with yourself. As for me and mine, we are one in the same.
Despite Kuronosu being a dual wielded blade in its released form, it seemingly when manifested only takes on the form of a single humanoid like male figure. It's appearance similar to Eizoku's own, the only difference being the lengthy straight black, gold tipped hair upon the spirit's head, which winds down into a ponytail that extends pass his waist. The piercing gold eyes of the brown skinned figure, matching the illuminating tattoos and writings that seed to be carved onto his skin. The most prevalent markings being the six slit like incisions that cover his face beneath his eyes, and striking symbols upon his darker colored arms. His zanpakto spirit is noted as having multiple personalities in one. The most prevalent being calm, patient, understanding, and in no hurry to accomplish any specific tasks - encouraging Eizoku to often do the same. This side of his personality serves to strike Eizoku's balance with his work and recreational endeavors. The alternate personality unexpectedly being the exact opposite. There is no set pattern to when the personalities shift or arise, and as such, a stable understanding with his Zanpakto was never truly easy to achieve. Both personalities tend to be extremely blunt when speaking towards Eizoku, bordering on the line of disrespect occasionally but doing so only when necessary out of his love, respect, and appreciation for the boy. The relationship shared between the three is extremely close, and the love shared and bonds present are evident, this continuously flourishing relationship aids in their fluidity in battle, fast discovery and development of skills, and their overall constant progression
Inner World: Eizoku's inner world is a space devoid of any temperature, life, or organic matter. A world coated in pitch black darkness, symbolizing Eizoku's constant state and desire to isolate himself, yet being illuminated by a multitude of semi-transparent gears and clocks that tick and spiral downwards to no end. Each clock rotating at varying speeds, some stagnant whilst others rotate so fast they appear to be stagnant, the difference between the two nearly undetectable. Representing his sense of being in absolute control of both himself and the situation at hand despite the happenings. The deeper one progresses into the void of darkness, the more clocks that they find that seem to be busted or out of commission, as if they were destroyed from wear and tear usage. This factor of the world represents Eizoku's over-reliance upon the skills that his Zanpakto provides him, often using it to achieve feats that without it would prove to be unobtainable and impossible such as his awe inspiring mastering of Kido and refining of his swordsmanship to the degree that it is at a relatively young age.
Release Phrase: "Warp time, Kuronosu..."
"My blades are not designed to pierce or draw blood. Nor do they take no delight in prolonged senseless violence. They're made for decapitation. After all...there's nothing that we hate more, than wasting time.
Shikai:
Upon releasing
Kuronosu, the hilt of Eizoku's katana glows vaguely before releasing an intense, yet brief, wave of distortion around his body, respectively resulting in a secondary blade appearing from what appears to be thin air. The blades take on the appearance of two straight blade swords with a square tip, not ideal for penetrating or cutting, with a golden tuner-fork like spacer stemming from the hilt securing the blade in place. The hilt turns completely black with a yellow strike down the middle, falling into a hole near the end. Within these openings resides two orbs of light that radiate the colors of yellow and blue. In his right hand, he wields a blade with the capabilities of speeding up time, whereas the blade in his left hand respectively slows it down.
Shikai Special Ability: Ichiji-Tekina Fukujū - Tōnan ( 一時的な服従-盗難,
Temporal Subjection - Theft)
Eizoku's Shikai is often overlooked and marked off in brief oversight as a blade which simply slows down anything that comes within a specific vicinity of him, whilst applying the same effect to whomever or whatever his weapon makes direct contact with thereafter. The actuality of the Zanpakto's ability however, is that this is only made possible by means of the blades stealing and storing the time of the individual or object under the influence of the ability. When entering the specified vicinity, items regardless of their original speed or composition, are immediately subjected to his ability and begin traveling at an unaltering contant near stagnant pace from all angles.
The Chronomancer is actively able to cause his zone of influence to expand or contract from anywhere from 5 to 25 feet at will. While active, Eizoku's field of vision becomes altered in a sense, causing everything within his sight to appear as if it is leaden, painstakingly slow – to the point where even masterful Shunpo steps become visible, readable, predictable, walking targets. His actions in this state appear from an outside perspective to be abnormally fast, blurred, and often unreadable. This storage of time once compiled, is capable of being reissued or reused after its release, in turn providing the ability to significantly speed other subjects up, similar to the way it was used to slow them down.
Jikan no Han'i: (時間の範囲; Reach of Time) - By utilizing his blades as a medium to materialize the absorbed time itself into a visible malleable incorporeal figure or shape, Eizoku is able to directly emit or transfer the effects of each of his respective blades upon the subject of contact across notable distances, typically done so in beams or streams. With time itself being an intangible aspect, the notion of physical obstruction is ineffective, making one of the only natural work arounds being actual avoidance. The drawback to this technique however, is during the period of time this technique is utilized, the vicinity of his domain of influence is shrunken respectively to a mere five feet.
Bankai: Kanzen'na Ichiji-Tekina Fukujū - Kuronosutashisu (完全な一時的な服従-クロノスタシス, Complete Temporal Subjection - Chronostasis)
Bankai Special Ability: Upon the activation of Eizoku's Bankai, a Temporal Replica of everything, *including himself, in a set specified five mile radius is created on an alternate plane, unable to be seen by anyone not actively making contact with his blade. Constant access for interaction within this temporal world is made possible by means of a single connecting or grasping of Eizoku's blade or body. Wherever the position of an individual was upon the activation of the Bankai, is where their respective Temporal Replica will be created and stand until the Bankai ends or is disrupted. Any damage or tampering done to the replica, rather it be an individual or an object, has a direct impact on the actual present time subject(s). For instance, if Eizoku were to decapitate a temporal replica, the actual individual whomst the replica belongs to will be decapitated in real time. These replicas once established, despite the original capabilities of the owner, prove to be extremely frail, and devoid of any boosts or capabilities that the owner may possess pertaining to defense, evasion, or psuedo immunity – only serving as time stamps in a sense, or as Eizoku references them as, "Imprints within Time". Meaning that even the most noted and revered of individuals despite their speed, strength, or durability, can become subject or defeated by such an ability with minimal difficulty. The risk to this technique however, being that this ability tampers with time itself, sucessful interaction with this real will result in one's health and status will be restored or depleted to the point it originally was once the replica was created. Meaning even if an individual happens to be at death's door, if he successfully slashes a temporal replica within the vicinity, his health will be restored or reduced to what it was at the point of the replica creation, which could become an overwhelming advantage or a debilitating disadvantage. This Bankai is one of the only known abilities in the Soul Society which can be "shared" should Eizoku make contact at least once with his allies or foes. However with more access comes greater risk, particularly to his own self, hence why this has never been done.
Personal Relationships: -
Arashi Suta – Despite his current status as the Lieutenant of the Fifth Division, Eizoku has never truly seen eye to eye with the shut eyed man. After an unexpected excursion into the Rukongai district, researching the presence of the Soul King’s blood without the official directive of his Captain to do so, Eizoku met formally with his superior for the first time as an active Third Seat. Upon the discovery of a culmination of mutilated corpses of members from the Second Division, and the retrieval of the only living survivor, a volcanic eruption overtook the entirety of the area. This resulted in an all out desperate self-preservation escape. After the rather chaotic series of events had come to a presumable end, Eizoku witnessed the presence of a hollow overtaking the man before being restrained and kept under guise by means of his own Captain. Because of his unwarranted presence, Eizoku was imprisoned for a series of days, the only thing imprinted upon his mind being the sight of Arashi Suta he had witnessed in the prior days. Upon his release, Eizoku agreed to an excursion into the Dangai under the direct order of Captain Oda of Fifth, in which he was promised by his soon to be mentor an explanation pertaining to exactly what he had witnessed pertaining to Arashi and the Hollow that attempted to consume him. After an unexpected incident within the Dangai, Eizoku was displaced for well over 100 years before his defeating of the Hollow which occupied the Precipice world, a battle which certainly both nearly killed and traumatized the man. Upon his recovery, he was escorted to his division under extreme guard, where he was once again forced to be face to face with the shut eyed stranger. Because of his horrific encounter prior and the creature that dwelled within him, Eizoku responded with violence, downing the entirety of the Fifth Division and completely placing his superior into a stasis. The relationship of the two afterwards never seemed to be able to mend into anything beneficial or friendly. Instead, the two continuously bump heads due to Arashi’s own underlying sneaky and underhanded methods he uses to accomplish his tasks. Along with Eizoku’s own stubbornness and disdain towards the man. They have been in a total of two physical altercations, Eizoku proving to be the victor in both. It was due to the actions of Arashi paired with an idealistic scolding received from his mentor, which actually drove Eizoku to push for a transfer into another division, which unironically resulting in him testing for Captaincy of the Sixth Division.
Tenzen Oda: Throughout Eizoku’s s singular year of training in the Academy before his departure, he took a deep interest in the individual known to govern over Squad 5 of the Gotei 13 due primarily to his intense interest in Kido. He would often catch glimpses of the man passing throughout the Seireitei, yet made no active advances to approach him. He desired recognition, not out of familiarity with the man, but rather out of appreciation for his skill and execution within the field of Kido. As such, with a burning vigor and an unyielding resolve in his studies, he was accepted into Squad 5 as one of the youngest members in the history of the Soul Society. Throughout he century or so within the squad, despite successful advances and notable amount of accomplishments while in the division, he failed to capture the Captain’s interest. It hadn’t been up until the point of his own disobedience and drive against the commands of his Captain, that he was granted an actual interaction. During his unapproved expedition to the outer districts of the Rukongai in search of his Lieutenant, he was detained and imprisoned by Tenzen after witnessing a catastrophic series of events. During his imprisonment, he was unknowingly recruited by the man for an almost suicidal expedition to the Precipice World. In return for his contribution and completion of the mission, he was promised both his freedom, along with an explanation of the events within the Rukongai pertaining to the rather disturbing scene put on by Arashi.
