Houshasunea (Radiant Snare) is a simple Kodachi, only being about 15 in
Zanpakuto Spirit Form:
Houshasunea is a lithe male with a calm and stoic expression that stands at 6' even. He wears a shirt that is torn completely off about halfway down his body, revealing his abdomen. He has a long, black leather trench coat that ends just after his knees. He wears semi-baggy black pants over black combat boots. He has a single wing covered in black feathers.
Inner World:
Kokierra's Inner World Consists of a forest with ghastly white trees, blackened, as if burned, grass and bushes that are on either side of a seemingly endless river. In the center next to the far bank is a distorted house that looks somewhat like a seashell on top of another hollowed out shell. Off into the distance, the world disappears into a thick fog. The air is stagnant and there is barely a riple on the water.
Shikai:
-Shatter and fulminate, Houshasunea
In it's Shikai, Houshasunea doesn't change in appearance at all. When he releases his Shikai, the blade of his sword disappears and he is surrounded with many small balls that circle around him rapidly. Each of these small orbs funciton as a bomb that he can control and he can send out as many or few as he wants with his mind. He is also able to control the direction of the blast, being able to use a bomb at close-range without causing himself any harm. When all of the bombs explode, his blade returns and he must again release his Zanpakuto
Due to his being a Kido master, he can infuse his bombs with different Hado or Bakudo. For example, he could infuse a bomb with Byakurai to create an explosion of elecricity, rather than a normal explosion.
Bankai:
-Blast heaven and earth asunder, Mugen Houshasunea (Infinite Radiant Snare)
In Bankai, Kokierra's sword completely disappears. He is able to create the bombs he had in his Shikai and various other forms of traps with his mind, even being able to slightly alter the position of the traps when needed, despite how uncommon that is. He can create shock traps and trip wires just to name a few of the many things he can do with his traps. As in his Shikai, he can infuse his traps with with various Bakudo and Hado, but he can make create much stronger Kido traps, using some of the highest level Hado and Bakudo in them, often harming himself in the process, but he is willing to take the risk.
Skills:
Kido Master: Kokierra, being the former thrid seat of the Kido Corps, is a master of Kido and can use some of the most advanced Hado and Bakudo spells there are at full power with no incantation whatsoever.
Agile: Because Kokierra is a lot less physically apt than the other captains, he relies on his agility to keep him safe and out of harms way. He is able to do many flips and maneuverthat can easily help him avoid most if not all attacks thrown his way
Sneaky: Kokierra, despite his loud personality, can be very sneaky when he tires. He is only like this because of his physical inabiity, he likes to get his traps when the oponent doesn't see them, catching them off guard, making the process of leading them into a trap much easier.
Tactician: Kokierra is able to think of almost anything that the opponent might or will do before it happens, giving him and those listening to him an immense edge in battle. He often tells who to go where and to do what in order to get the most out of any situation.
Trapmaster: This should go without saying, but Kokierra is an excellent trapmaster. He can place traps in seemingly impossible places and can even trap a specific object.
Shunpo Master: Kokierra is a master of Shunpo and is able to move better distances than most in less amounts of time. He has even mastered the art of Speed Clones among other skills.
Strengths: Kokierra is incredibly agile and excellent with various Shunpu techniques, making up for his lack of defensive abilities. He is an excellent ranged fighter, and decent at close range when Kokierra has incredible amounts of Reiatsu and Reiyoku while having most of it hidden. Surprising his opponent is one of his greatest strengths, easily giving him the upper hand in most battles. He is primarily ranged in fighting, so he often can defeat an opponent before they have a chance to get close enough to do anything. He is left-handed and fights with his sword backhand, but he prefers to punch people with his right hand for some reason.
Weaknesses: Kokierra has a lacking in physical defense. Most people don't get close enough to hit him, but he isn't the best at close-quarters fighting. He also lacks in sword fighting. All other captains far outclass him in terms of sword skills. He has a habit of being reckless and often setting off traps or bombs when he the enemy is right in front of him without thinking. He doesn't like to seriously use his Bankai unless it is absolutely necessary. He also has a bit of an inferiority complex and tends to put himself down, often making him slip up and get himself hurt in battle.
Personality: Kokierra is a very outgoing and happy-go-lucky guy. He loves to joke around with people and is often known to try out his experimental traps out on various people. Whenever he tries a new version of his trap, or tries to infuse one with a Hado or Bakudo, he will attempt to try it out on basically the first person he sees. Even if his trap doesn't work, he instantly tries to find out why it didn't work and often runs off back to his quarters to try again. When one of his traps go off, he tends to shout the name of the kido it is infused with then laugh ltriumphantly
Kokierra has also been known to be slightly impulsive, acting without thinking many times. For example, he had his Shikai released and a hollow popped out from behind him and tried to attack him, as a reflex, he brought one of the bombs in front of his face, killing the hollow, but he also hurt himself.
Despite his outgoing and loud personality, Kokierra also has a deadly serious side. When needed, he willdrop the smile and show the srict, intelligent tactician that he really is. Although rarely seen, it has startled other Shinigami into respecting him. The only other time that he will drop his happy-go-lucky grin is when he is around Hibiki. When with the other, he gets easily embarrassed because of what he does and what his squad members say about him and his antics.
Appearance: Kokierra is a normal sized male, standing at about 5' 11" with pale blonde hair and seafoam green eyes. He appears a lot younger than he is, often making some people donfused as to whether he really is a caaptain or not. Kokierra wears the normal Shinigami shihakusho and he wears his black cloak under it lways has his black gloves on. As a captain, he wears the captain's haori over his shihakusho that has Squad 8's symbol on the back. Kokierra has his sword strapped around his waist with the sheathe hanging horozontally on his lower back.
Character's Bio: Kokierra grew up in the Soul Society by lfn the 27 District of East Rukongai. He was always alone, and was always scrounging around in the alleys for food. The few Shinigami that had noticed him had seen him eating and searching for more food, being a sign he had at least some reiatsu. Wanting to know how much the possible reiatsu he had, the Shinigami always brought him food, and did so quite often. Kokierra could never get enough as it seemed, always eating everything they brought him hungrily. Of course, he could have eaten more, but he couldn't bring himself to ask for more.
After a while of feeding the starving soul, they had asked him over and over about taking the entrance exam for the Academy. It took a while, but he had eventually relented in his protests and took the exam. At his exam, members of the Kido Corp were there, seemingly recruiting new members. For reasons unbeknonst to him, the Kido portion was like a walk in the park. He found himself casting many low level Kido spels with no incantaion whatsoever at full power. Finding all of the other three ares of his training easy, he flew through the academy in a mere four years. During the middle of his final year, Houshasunea had began speaking to him. He was still long from attaining Shikai, but he did have his Zanpakuto.
Despite his relative lack in physical prowess, his incredible mastery of Kido would have easily gotten him a low seat in a squad. But that wasn't meant to be, considering the fact that the Kido Corps had practically stollen him away immediately after his graduation fromteh academy. Apparently, the Kido corps had also had their eyes on Kokierra's friend/rival, Nogitsune Hibiki. They had graduated at the same time and were both approached by representatives of the Kido Corps to draft the both of them into their ranks.
Despite the fact they wre no longer in the academy, their rivalry never faded, in fact, it sprouted more as they always tried to outdo each other at every turn. In just a couple centuries, Kokierra and Hibiki had rose through the ranks and became 5th and 4th seats respectivelly. Although they continued to wrok hard, that wasn't what got them to their highest ranks. It was all thanks to the works of the sinister Sosuke Aizen.
As the Captain and Vice-Captain of the Kido Corps, Tessai and Hachigen respectively, were discharged from command due to Aizen, there was a majour power void in the Corps. The new replacement for Captain was easy enough to figure out, but it was the Vice-Captain that was hard to figure out. Kokierra was better than Hibiki at Kido, but Hibiki was much better with the sword, so it ended up with Hibiki becoming Vice-captain and Kokierra became the new 3rd seat. Kokierra was never mad or sad about always being one step behind Hibiki. He knew that it was because of Hibiki's sword skill Kokierra's own sword only enhanced his Kido capabilities.
At the time, neither of them had bankai, but their new positions refueld their vigour to show what they were made of. With their long mastery of Shikai in tact, they had worked together and both gained bankai. with these new powers and the Corps going back into it's normal routine, Hibiki and Kokierra went back to perform their duties as the new 2nd and 3rd seats.
With the whole 'Angels' scenario leaving the Gotei 13 in ruin, the Kido Corps was basically untouched. Hibiki and Kokierra both stepped down to help out the Gotei. It hurt the Cops to lose two of their highest classed members, but the Gotei was in need of help and the two of them were more than willing and suited for the jobs. Kokierra stepped in as the new Captain of Squad 8, helping some with the Seireitei reconsturction, or just giving all of the others some form of comic-relief.
All of their struggles and trials aside, Kokierra and Hibiki's relationship had changed from one of mere friendly rivalry, to one much more intimate. Being the only captains with a relationship, especially with another captain, was discouraged by the Head Captain out of fairness. In the end, Hitsugaya had relented but made srue to have the two separate when important decisions needed to be made. Kokierra had made sure to never let emotions get in the way of his judgement and it had been proven to Hitsugaya, but the Head captain always wanted to make sure.
