Junji Sakamura [APPROVED, 1-5, B1] PATbuI

SKILLS AND NATURAL ABILITIES

Zanjutsu & Swordsmanship: Junji is perhaps the most-experienced Lieutenant when it comes to Zanjutsu. In fact, he's equivalent to a few of the other Captains.

Speed and Shunpou: Junji is deceptively fast. In fact, his speed is second only to his Zanjutsu skill. Junji's speed is mainly good for short bursts and not long sprints. To put it in other words, Junji has good acceleration instead of a high top speed. Junji uses his speed in combination with his Shunpou to get behind opponents. This is used mainly with his Bankai's peculiar shape, allowing him to thow it, have the opponent dodge, then throw it again from behind.

Hakuda: As a Lieutenant, he's got a passable score in Hakuda. Most of it comes from having to defend himself in fights with other members of the Division.

Kidou: Although Junji knows of many Kidou, his time in the Eleventh has diminished his abilities. If he really tried, he would be decent at it. But that would require him to leave the Eleventh. Currently, he doesn't see any reason to do so.

Natural Strength: Junji is mostly average for someone of his level of experience when it comes to physical strength. He's no monster who can lift buildings, but his strength is nothing to laugh at either. Most of his strength, however, comes from muscle memory. His sword swings are strong. His punches are strong. He may still need to have someone else open the pickle jar. He has trained his muscles in such a way that unless he uses them in a combat situation, he's actually below average. In combat, however, he can be a force to be reckoned with.

Painting and Calligraphy: Although it does not help in combat in any way whatsoever, Junji is a talented painter and calligraphist. He tries to get others to practice an art like his too, as he says it keeps the mind calm. Well, he seems to be a hypocrite as he swears like a sailor if something ends up wrong.
Cooking: Junji is surprisingly a decent cook. Nothing he cooks is particularly delicious, but it is filling. He's the type to be able to cook for a large group easily.

SEALED ZANPAKUTOU

Release Phrase: Rend (裂ける Sakeru)
Sealed Zanpakutou:
Junji Sakamura [APPROVED, 1-5, B1] 24VYcA

Zanpakutou Spirit:

SHIKAI

Name: Rasetsu (蘭截; Severing Orchid)
Appearance:
Junji Sakamura [APPROVED, 1-5, B1] LAs5xF

Abilities: Rasetsu only has a single ability. If thrown, Junji can call the blade back to his hand at a speed of his speed +15.

BANKAI

Name: Kaitenzaku Rasetsu (回転作蘭截; Rotational Harvest Severing Orchid)
Appearance: Kaitenzaku Rasetsu takes the form of a pair of mirrored curved blades. When put together, they form a perfect circle. The notable two features of the blade are a pair of handles and a set of 4 twinned prongs.The cirle is hollow in the center, making it appear like an oversized chakram. Junji himself also changes. His hair turns stark white, matching that of his Zanpakutou Spirit's. His eyes also change color to a glowing scarlet.

Spoiler:

Abilities: Kaitenzaku Rasetsu only has one new ability from its Shikai. The ability only works when it is fully connected and formed into a circle.The large circle in the center will act as a shield against energy attacks. It absorbs the energy and then redistributes it to the four prongs. The prongs immediately fire the redistributed energy.This cannot be directed or redirected except by physically moving the blade. As of now, the shield can stop Kidou up to 65. It also cannot "vacuum" in energy. This means that anything that does not hit the circle in the middle will continue on its course unimpeded.

RELATIONSHIPS

Joshua Jehenna: Josh is Junji's best friend, no doubt. The two spar and challenge one another. Josh is the only person that knows Junji has a Bankai.
J Saionji: Junji respects and fears J. Not in the same way as he does Lilith. That's entirely different. With J, Junji doesn't want to challenge him. Besides knowing it's a fight he couldn't win (yet), he just doesn't want that damn condescending look J has looking even worse at him. J is also one of the people Junji does regret disappointing, but he's not going to apologize for it. He explained to J why he did what he did. It's J's own fault if he doesn't agree with or understand it.
Midori Hayashi: Junji knows Midori only a little. He's tried to flirt with her a couple of times, but it just felt weird so he stopped it. The rejection also didn't help. Junji owes everything to Midori right now, as she's the only reason he joined the Gotei in the first place. He prefers having her do his physicals, mainly because she's one of the few that can actually get him to do them.
Lilith: It's complicated. Lilith is, and has been, his benchmark for everything. She is what he aspires to be. She's almost perfect in his eyes, and she's who he gets along with the best outside of Josh. The guy may not admit it, but the fact is he has a crush on her. His eyes almost sparkle when he thinks of her. He will take no smack-talk of her, and isn't afraid of "white knighting" when she's not around. When she is around, he lets her deal with it.
Tsubaki Koezuka: Tsubaki tried to flirt with Junji at first, and he fell for it. Although it's not something they talk about or really even remember, the two dated for a few years. It just didn't work out, and now they're just really good friends. She's part of his support network, even if they don't consider their relationship to be as such.

SYNOPSIS

Junji is the first Lieutenant the Eleventh Division has had in centuries. The fact that some upstart from the middle districts got in and decided "yep, this will be mine one day" is almost an insult to the more high-and-mighty types in the Division. Other people in the Eleventh find him to be the most relatable in the Division. He's a "Joe Everyman" type in the Division. The truth is that he wants to surpass Lilith as the next Captain. He almost-worships Lilith, but he sees her as a tall mountain. She's tall, imposing, old, and has killed many in her time around. Junji sees that as a fun challenge to get to the top of.

Junji is among the most-skilled Lieutenants when it comes to Zanjutsu. His Zanpakutō is 90% a physical type, with only his Bankai breaking that any. Yes, his Bankai. Junji would have the recommendations and capabilities required to become a Captain, but he just doesn't want it. The only Division that he'll be the Captain of is the Eleventh. The only way he's getting that is if he beats Lilith.
