Here it is folks, the profile 2 or 3 days in the making (hell if I can remember when I started it...) and it's still unfinished! Not sure about the current history idea I've got, but I'm working on it.
Class: Shinigami
Age: 765 (died age 26 of syphilis)
Gender: Male
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 5ft6
Weight: 12 stone
Clothing Style: Shunhara dresses in the normal shinigami outfit with little deviance in the normal code in how he wears it. He does however, like to rest his left arm in the style of a ronin when he walks around, finding it comfortable. It also allows him to easily throw the slightly constricting top section of the kimono back so that he can fight more freely. Additionally he has a number of weak points on his clothing that he cut himself. These are designed to allow him to simply step out of his more constricting top layer of clothes with extreme ease so that he can fight to his fullest. Think of it as wearing weights, although in this case it’s just removing a minor restriction.
His preferred gigai is, somewhat out of place in such a time period. He wears clothing common amongst the aristocrats of the 18th Century with purple being the main colour theme. His shoes are black and smart with a rounded tip (but still very pointy) and a raised heel. His trousers are dark brown and tight, displaying his legs more than most men are comfortable with. Likewise, his top is very form fitting and is actually a waistcoat with golden decoration around the buttons. A two tailed coat is normally worn over this that has rose decorations dancing around the buttons on it and going around his neck. Shunhara also wears white gloves with the symbol of the Knights Templar on them and a monocle.
Personallity: As many Kuchiki are brought up to be the noblest of the shinigami and know it, so too was Shunhara. He differs from most of his cousins however, in that he sticks to a code of chivalry, honour and gentlemanlyness. This comes from his time spent in Europe (as does his favoured Gigai clothing) where he lived as a human for a decade. As a result he is fairly energetic and fun loving; enjoying fine wines and fine foods as well as the company of others. As a result of his time in such a treacherous environment however, he has also gained the ability to manipulate events to his liking should worst come to worst. His code of honour keeps him from being a backstabbing Machiavellian monster however.
Fighting Style: Being primarily a swordsman Shunhara is near without equal. He’s neglected his attempts to learn any kido beyond the lowest levels and specialises in Zanjutsu, with respectable skill in hoho and hakuda. However, the latter two forms of combat are still far, far weaker than his skill in Zanjutsu. When fighting zan sealed his default stance is to hold himself in a manner similar to a basic Kendo stance, from which he will often attack with a flurry of slashes, stabs and occasionally a few punches or kicks to throw the opponent of balance. He dislikes out and out killing and as such will only attack a person’s limbs and very occasionally their abdomen. Thanks to his level of skill he can do this and just stop short of killing his foes when he strikes. He’s not adverse to taking to the air either should he be required to, but prefers to remain on the ground to give others a more sporting chance.
When he releases his shikai he tends to employ direct stabbing attacks, so that he can use his zan’s special ability to greater effect. His stance changes while shikai is released as well as holding a rapier as though it were a katana is fairly foolish and makes it difficult to wield effectively. He has two default stances. The first is to stand straight, his left leg slightly behind the other and facing 45 degrees anti-clockwise to his face. His body in this position is square to the opponent and both arms are held out to his sides, roughly at 45 degree angles from his body. He holds the zan in his right hand so that the edge of the blade faces the ground. The second stance is a normal fencing stance with his left hand held behind his back. With shikai he focuses even more on zanjutsu and as such he will often overwhelm an opponent in close combat.
Shunhara’s bankai fighting style is different yet again. Due to his bankai’s size, shape and abilities Shunhara wields it in any way he can; often becoming difficult to predict in his movements. Understandably he attacks in a way that maximises his bankai’s ability and utilises the size of his zan to good effect. By keeping it close to his body Shunhara can use it almost as a shield and by swinging it around him at close range he can throw up a barrier like effect wherein if something doesn’t get it’s attack perfectly correct it will simply get sliced to pieces.
Strengths: Shunhara is a master swordfighter, with hundreds of years experience on his hands. This means that he’s often able to predict an opponent’s movements and often intercept them or have a counter attack prepared before they’ve finished their attack. Physically he’s in top condition, being the fastest at the draw of the sword and having uncanny speed when it comes to actually swinging the thing. He’s fairly strong but only slightly above average.
Weaknesses: Shunhara is particularly weak against ranged combat. While in close combat he’s a positive demon in battle thanks to his high level of skill and knowledge of melee fighting at range his abilities are far weaker; his only actual ranged attack is byakurai and even that’s weaker than it normally would be. He also does not fight to kill and without this killing intent he can be somewhat docile. This weakness is compounded by his sense of honour as anyone with a working knowledge of it can take advantage of it and therefore predict many of his movements and actions. His physique also means that he’s easier to push around than you may expect from one of his level. This is a result of his light frame and people and attacks can throw him further than they might throw a normal person.

Zanpackto Name: Zantetsuken
Zanpackto Avatar Appearance: The avatar of Zantetsuken takes the form of a man, roughly in his late twenties, wearing a dark suit of black armour. His helm sports two large main horns while a smaller pair of horns sprout just behind and below the main pair. His chestplate his silver however and a number of golden seams runs throughout the armour. His skin is gold coloured and he also wears a cool black cape, often appearing with his horse Sleipner (which has six legs).
Avatar appearance, but equipped with a smaller version of Zabuza Zantetsuken
Zanpackto Sealed Appearance: As almost all zanpakuto appear in their sealed form, Zantetsuken is a normal katana in appearance. It has a few differences to the average katana though. The hilt his decorated with an ourobouros running around it and the blade itself has a flame decoration running down it. The hilt is made of ivory and has three ridges to aid grip running down it.
Zanpackto Release Phrase: Pierce, Zantetsuken
Zanpackto Shikai Appearance: The blade transforms into a rapier with a silver blade and a black hilt. See pic.
Zanpackto Shikai Abilities: The blade cannot be stopped when it stabs something. This means that regardless of power, defence or otherwise it will simply go straight through its target. However, that doesn’t mean it’s unblockable, despite what I’ve said. If you deflect the blade, rather than attempt to stop it head on, you can block the attack from Shunhara. The edge is also blockable and any slashing attacks will actually be weaker, as the blade is not designed for cutting, only stabbing.
Zanpackto Bankai Name: Zabuza Zantetsuken
Zanpackto Bankai Appearance: See pics of avatar but with a bigger sword. Also see the youtube vid below, it shows the sword in it’s full size and glory. It also shows what happens when the bankai hits something.
Zanpackto Bankai Abilities: The cutting edge of the blade is irresistible. This means that if you try to stop the attack he makes with the edge of the blade (be it a stab or a cut) you’ll get hit by the attack nonetheless. Like this shikai, this can be stopped by dodging the attack and striking the flat of the blade so that the attack is diverted away from it’s target.

A video that depicts not only what Zantetsuken’s avatar looks like but what happens when something gets hit by the bankai. Note, the bankai can be evaded and blocked if you don’t block the edge itself. Remember that >.>
History:
Sample RP
The quick flurry of counter attacks was the least Shunhara could expect from the captains he fought. He could tell there was hydrogen in the air from the foul smell and the fact it was now hard to breathe. The fireball that was now growing rapidly tipped him off too. Through all the visual impedements black chains flicked out at Shunhara, barely registering to him as anything other than a flurry of shadows. One of the chains was attached to the end of a sickle too. He could just about see his giant being engaged by another at the other side of the dome and called it over. It could take the fireball easily but Shunhara didn't have time to concentrate enough to bring it over fast enough to protect him from the explosion.
As the chains were about to touch his skin a dark substance slithered down his entire body, encasing it in a strong but last chance defence. The fireball was metres away now and a shield copied from Kane formed between Shunhara and it, forming a sphere in which the hydrogen could not be ignited. That left the sickle which Shunhara deflected with his zanpakuto. Clearly he'd need to remain on the offensive for this battle more than he aniticipated; even with Koichi's speed these four were going to be trouble. The battle was still going roughly as he'd predicted however and a calm smile spread over his face. Despite the amount of reiatsu required to execute the attacks he'd just used his overall reiatsu seemed barely affected, and was rising.
Shin, you were a godsend.
As you may have guessed, this is copy+pasted from another site. Hitsugaya to be precise, mostly cuz I've got a ton of good posts on there that shows what I generally do with each post.
