Zanpakuto:
His Zanpakuto in its sealed form is a rather standard looking uchigatana. The hilt is wrapped with a blue ito and white samegawa. The wooden saya is a sky blue colour matching the wrap and the tsuba is circular and gold in colour. The saego is black in colour, keeping it attached to his obi. The blade has a hi running along it to allow blood to run cleanly off the blade. The blade itself is 70cm long.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
粛殺 雪降り Shukusatsu Yukifuri - Withered Snowfall
His Zanpakuto spirit takes on the form of a ‘Yuki-onna’ She is a slender, tall woman with straight hair as pitch as the darkest night cascading down her back. Her skin is pale to the point of almost being white, contrasting drastically with her hair. Despite having gentle facial features, her almond shaped eyes tend to remain an aloof stare. Shukasatsu Yukifuri’s irises are a markedly icy blue, shimmering with a pearlescent lustre giving her a much colder appearance than she would otherwise have.
Her lithe frame dressed in a simple nondescript fashion; adorned with a snow white kimono with a sash of the same colour tying it around her waist. Following the colour theme, white tabi covers her feet though she has no footwear beyond that. It works out fine for her as she gracefully glides above the ground instead of walking.
Personality-wise, she tends to be quiet and contemplative, unconcerned about the world around her outside of Tetsuya. Her coldness melts away in his presence displaying great amounts of care and affection towards him, almost like that of a lover.
Inner World:
The inner world of Tetsuya’s in a vast winter forested landscape outdoors with a natural day night cycle. It is a land of perpetual snowfall, filled with barren trees that have long shed their leaves, of deep frozen lakes, slow flowing rivers and creeks, gentle rolling hills and snow veiled grassy plains.
Historical Info
~Society Through Death~
The Past:
Tetsuya is a soul born in Seireitei to members of a minor noble family, the Ishikawa clan. The family itself is one with a tradition of being healers and doctors. Members of the family are generally born with Reiatsu stronger than the average soul and as such, the family has strong ties to Gotei 13 and specifically the 4th Division where a number of the family members either belong to or have affiliation to.
Growing up, Tetsuya had an exceptionally comfortable lifestyle, being the direct descendant of the head of the clan, his father, Ishikawa Reo. He was raised well and educated from a young age in healing arts, medicines and the basics that would typically be seen in the Shinōreijutsuin. Despite being a mild mannered, well behaved child, Tetsuya would often find time to leave the family estate and explore in the streets of Seireitei and occasionally the outskirts into the beginnings of Rukongai playing with others his age. It was around this time that Tetsuya began to notice that some of the children he played with would often end up unwell or even occasionally bedridden inexplicitly.
Over time he would be visited by ever more vivid dreams of a faceless, black haired woman approaching him slowly in the distance. He suspected he was having visions of his zanpakuto spirit and upon enquiring about it with his father, he began to understand his latent Reiatsu was becoming stronger and it was slowly manifesting itself to him. With plants dying whenever they remained in his room he became increasingly concerned. It was this that led to his father making him to work on controlling his Reiatsu, also informing him that it seems to have a withering effect, as if the life of the plants has slowly but surely disappeared. Thinking back to those occurrences with his friends and the sickness began to add up in his mind. It was due to an imbalance in the strength of their souls and his Reiatsu. Devastated by the impact he was having on others, he became much more reclusive and reserved, unwilling to explore freely as he used to, even as he began to rein in the Reiatsu he subconsciously leaked from his body.
Living within the walls of his family, he learnt and trained to become a Shinigami and upon gaining the requisite skills, though perhaps it reeked of nepotism, he skipped out on attendance in the academy and directly joined the 4th Division as a recruit.
