Hagiwara Toja [FINISHED]

Name: Hagiwara Toja

Gender: Male

Age: Looks around ~16. Real age is rumored to be around 400

Position: 4th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13

Personality: Having a certain charisma around him helps to hide his sometimes destructive temper, since his own training and training-methods for others are known to be able to break some parts of Seireitei in one go. If Toja does something, he does it to the extreme, no matter what it is: Training, fighting, drinking... literally everything. Point him at a Hollow, it dies. Point him at a bottle of booze, it... also dies.
That said, he also is very loyal to his friends and a caring soul in that manner, at least. Still, in his whole over 400 years going live, no single woman is known to be able to stand his EXTREME attitude, no matter how nice he can be sometimes.

Appearance:
A word of advice: Never ever talk about his small build and girlish face. It can and will hurt should you do it... he is also rather small, compared to other Shinigami.

Zanpakutô Spirit: The spirit of Tojas blade is called 'Hotaru', which means firefly. it's manifestation is a female fairy-like creature, which stands almost as tall as he himself in his spirit world. The fire-fairy has butterfly-like, big wings, wears red skin-tight clothing over her body and has blue eyes, while the hair is a mixture of red and blue.
The inner world of Tojas spirit is said to look like the giant crater of an active vulcano. Small islands or rock float in a gigantic sea of lava and molten stone, while big walls encase it from all sides. In the middle of this sea is a big island, that, strangely enough, has a spring in the middle of it. The water of this spring is extremely hot, but never evaporates - this is the place where Hotaru appears.

Sealed Zanpakutô : In it's normal form, the sword is a rather normal katana. It's a bit longer than normal, and due to his small height, Toja carries it around on his back. The sheath is black, the handle crimson-red and the guard in a shiny silver, while the blade looks completely normal. Toja normally uses two hands when fighting with his sword.

Shikai Description:
The blade actually shrinks a bit in this form, so that Toja can use it with one hand again.

Shikai Abilities: The Shikai-powers are pretty basic stuff:
Flaming Blade: The blade is always on fire, so that blocking right infront of your face could still be a bad idea...
Hotaru no Hikari: Means Light of fireflies. With a swing from the blade, a fire-slicer is send on it's way, using Tojas Reiatsu. With complex swings, fire-whirls and circling flames to confuse the opponent are possible. Like with all Shinigami-skills, calling out the name of the technique makes it stronger.

Release: Light up the sky, Hotaru!

Bankai Description: The sword:
Toja himself gets a now crimson-red Shinigami-kimono instead of the normal black one, also, a golden metal protector is now going down from his right shoulder over his complete arm, with which he holds the sword. The flames in it are so hot that it always burns blue, but during attacks, the flames turn white.
The new name of the sword is now Koasahi no Hotaru, meaning Fireflies Small Sun.

Bankai Abilities: The now always flaming blade is a force that can be deadly to hit head-on. Burning with the intense heat of condensed spiritual energy, it's fire burns body and soul like nothing else.
Koasahi no Hikari: Literally meaning Light of the little sun. Basicially, it's Hotaru no Hikari on a way larger scale, unleashing big fire slicers in many forms and directions at the same time, increasing the heat in the atmosphere around him and burning everything they touch with intense spiritual heat. Even Zanpaktou are known to melt in this fire, if they connect to it for too long.
Enhanced Kido: Tojas natural affinity for Kido gets even stronger with this Kido-Bankai type, making him able to use even more of the magic spells in quick succession while in Bankai-State, without incarnations, that is.
Sun Protector: The arm guard is not only for show, it can block any kind of fire even at point blank range. A normal Zanpaktou could also never cut through this Bankai-Metal.
Booze Fire: An ability that's often taken for a joke, but can actually be quite dangerous... with alcohol, Toja can increase the radius of his attacks for a short amount of time. Too much use can damage logical thought in battle... and the liver, D'uh.

History/Background: If Toja had a live on earth, he can't recall it by now. In fact, he was alive once - but died at a rather young age, his soul didn't get transfered into Soul Society right away, though...
In fact, he got eaten by a Hollow, thus turning him into one himself. He wasn't one for too long - a Shinigami slew him, releasing his soul into freedom and peace in the next world. He can't remember anything from that - it was a Kido Corps Member who released him back then.
His first real memories are from the Soul Society. While the most souls there didn't trust Shinigami - it wasn't exactly one of the good districts he grew up in - he always felt kinda drawn to the men and women in the black Kimonos. Enlisting into the Shinigami Academy with only 14 years, he was accepted because of one simple thing: he had heard an incarnation of a Kido from a Shinigami, and as he copied the saying, he actually unleashed a spell without any training.
It was no wonder that after being trained as a Shinigami, and meeting his spirit for the first time, that he did enter the 5th Squad. To be more precise, he was recruited into the Kido Corps, learned to refine his own Kido, training till exhaustion with it every day to master it completely. Learning the ways of destruction, binding and healing, he always wanted to learn more, leading to his now EXTREME attitude to do everything to the EXTREME, no matter what.
After the spot of the 4th Squad Captain was open again, Toja revealed something to his entire Squad and Captain, thinking it was his time to rise to glory: his Bankai, a compact one that he achieved through secret and long-year training. Getting approved by his Capain and enough other Captains, he is now the new 4th Squad Taicho.
