-General Info--Zanpakuto Name: Ahōdori Umō
-Family: Poison
-Type: Ranged
-Sealed Description: Reikon seals her weapon in the form of a regular katana. The blade is about four feet long, the handle being another six inches added to its length. Its blade is made of a regular steel, polished and kept in surprisingly good condition. There are no scratches or nicks along the blade, and it has an almost reflective property to it. Along the edge of the blade is a subtle wave-like pattern, which appears to have been burned into the blade. Acting as a border between blade and handle is a regular-looking brass ring of metal, the cross guard. This cross guard has an intricate patter on the inside, of weaving vines, flowers, and other plants. The handle itself is made of a strong wood, and wrapped in a tan-brown cloth to make the grip more comfortable. Its sheath is made out of a wood similar in color to the handle, which a length of cloth identical to the handle wrapped around it so that it may be attached to a sash or belt.

-Manifestation--Appearance: Ahōdori Umō is... How shall we put it? Oh yes, insane. That's how we put it. She is insane, masochistic, sadistic, and lacking in anything but that pain-induced pleasure. She feels nothing more than pain, the pleasure from pain, and the fear of her own life ending. Besides that, she's cold as stone and hard as it too. She taught herself to feel no emotion, eliminate everything that humans felt, and turn herself into the ultimate weapon. Ahōdori prides herself in her age, as age is more than just a number to her. It is a representation of power, wisdom, and venerability. Because she is so off her rocker, she tends to do very chaotic and random things. Someone greets her and in return she kills a nearby animal; to her this is perfect logic. She is also extremely tactical, in that she uses her body and wiles to get what she wants. She is a seductress, a succubus of sorts, and very effective one at that. She feels no empathy or mercy, in fact she is disgusted by it. She enjoys her own pain a bit more than the pain of others, but not that much more. Ahōdori Umō likes to toy with her victims, fuck with their heads before causing them extreme pain and ending their life. The screams of agony are what turn her on, and keep her going; her victims cries are generally followed by her moans of pure ecstasy. Though her targets are usually male, she does take an interest in both genders; after all, everyone hurts all the same in the end. Alba suffers from extreme scopophobia, or the fear of being stared at. She hates when people look at her or stare at her, because she feels like they're plotting against her or thinking or plotting of nasty things to do to her. Ahōdori really just wants to be free from her insanity, she finds sanctuary from the frightening thoughts in gardening, and does it often.
-Personality: Ahōdori Umō is a sixteen year old girl. She has slightly tanned flesh, unmarred by acne or scars despite her age and career path. Standing at only five feet four inches, she appears to have reached her maximum height for life. Though she ways a little over one hundred pounds, you wouldn't know it from her appearance. She is nearly twig-thin, with a flat-yet visibly unmuscular- stomach. Upon the lower right side of this stomach is a tattoo of a black bird. Her arms don't appear to carry that much muscle in them, because her muscles are compact and wire-like. This is a result of more acrobatics and such than actual combat training. Ahōdori has a heart shaped face with sharp, defined features. Set in her eye sockets are matching cyan-colored eyes. These eyes are rimmed by black eye liner and eye shadow, bringing out the brilliant hue even further. Ahōdori Umō's eyebrows are thin and arched, ebony in color just like her hair. Between those cyan eyes is a thin, bony nose. Her lips are also thin, and generally a light, rosy pink shade. She has high cheek bones, small round ears, and a regal air about her. Her smile is brilliant, revealing perfectly aligned, achromatic teeth, and her glare devastating as a storm at sea. She wears her ebony hair down around the sides of her head, pushing the bangs to frame her face, while the back is pulled into a ponytail that spans down half of her back. She enjoys wearing ear rings, though nothing massive and obnoxious. Moving on a bit lower, her neck is an average height, her shoulders not very wide. She has an average bust, which she generally keeps wrapped in a bikini top of some sort. Her favorite bikini top to wear is a white one with black pokadots, she has several of them. Within this bikini top, right between her breasts, is where she keeps five of her twelve throwing knives. They are fit into a tiny holster, allowing her for quick access to them. Her arms are long and slender, her hands small with longer, bony fingers. Fingernails painted black, both middle fingers containing ring blades. The ring blades take the form of dragons, with their jaws spread wide. Even further down, she has wide, shapely hips. This is because of her feminine qualities, brought on by puberty. She enjoys wearing jeans, which for some reason she finds much more comfortable than anything. Because she is so skinny, she will occasionally have to wear a black studded belt, to keep her pants from falling down. Her jeans are generally a navy blue or black in color, with black or yellow stitching. On her left shin are the last seven of her twelve throwing knives. She prefers to wear converse sneakers. They have little traction and aren't great for climbing, but make little noise.
-Inner World: - Spoiler:
Her inner world takes the form of a deep forest, full of brilliant flowers, mushrooms, and other plant-like life. The forest is full to the brim with such things, and yet there are no animals to be found anywhere. The weather of the inner world depends on her mood, so it's rather spastic usually. One second it's hailing and the next it's sunnier than ever.
-Connection: One theory is that Ahōdori represents, as a personality, what Reikon fears she will become. She represents the being that Reikon would break down into should she give way to her fears. Reikon also sometimes believes the Ahōdori is really just Reikon's own insanity kept chained within her.
-Shikai--Release Phrase: "Kayu-mi ya kizu, Ahōdori"
-Shikai Appearance: -Release Description: Albatross enjoys theatrical releases, though she could potentially just release her blade. The blade will glow a sea-green color, as she speaks the release phrase. The reiatsu will flow off of the blade, engulfing the area in that sea-green light for a split second before revealing the Shikai form of her zanpakuto. The alternative to this dramatic release is that the blade just glows a bit and transforms.
-Shikai Appearance: In Shikai form the handle of the blade turns a dark forest green. Where the ring of brass was, grows what looks like a blob of mushrooms. The blade disappears, and from the bulb of organic material at the cross guard sprouts a wider, more scimitar-like blade, made of what looks like ivy. It is just as long as the katana, just more curved and wide. All along the blade form pores, though they don't seem to make the blade any weaker. From the bulb of organic material, vines sprout forth, wrapping around the handle and Albatross' hand. From the pores of the blade sprout little green things, that appear to be almost like egg sacs.
-Shikai Ability: -The Basics: Shikai always comes coupled with an increase in reiatsu and the like, because it is the next level of their power. However, since her zanpakuto is a kido-type it does not increase her physical prowess or the cutting strength of her zanpakuto at all.
-The Special Ability: The special ability of her Shikai lies in the sacs appearing along the holes of her blade. If one of those sacs were to burst they would release a pollen-like substance which spreads into the air. If anyone within three feet of her is breathing, they will take in the pollen and the affect will take place. With each extra sac that bursts, the range of her ability increases by a foot. However, the sacs don't grow back until five posts after bursting. because there are only ten sacs at a time, her maximum range is 14 feet. The pollen can be blown away, but the likelihood of them recognizing the ability before they breathe is very unlikely. Once inhaled the poison takes two effects. The first effect is that it begins to eat away at the brain tissue of the opponent, destroying things like reaction time and memory. However, this process if extremely slow, and would only begin to show itself six posts after the inhalation. The instant effect of the pollen is that it releases a chemical which causes the brain to react in a similar way as PCP(I'm not 100% sure this is accurate). The victim will have vicious hallucinations, usually of insects crawling under their skin. The hallucinations are so realistic that most feel compelled to scratch at their skin until they tear it open to try and get the bugs out. Even if they were able to suppress this urge, it would provide a sufficient distraction in combat. The pollen itself remains in the air for two posts, and affects anyone that breathes, except for her.

-Zanpakuto's full name: Ahōdori Umō
-Bankai Appearance: -Release Description: Her Bankai release involves her plunging her sword into the ground. The ground will then begin to crack and open up, releasing vines and other plantlife. They collect together, forming into her Bankai.

- Spoiler:
-Written Description: The easiest way to describe her Bankai is a twelve foot tall beast made of slimy, disgusting vines and various fungi the size of people. It takes the form of something like an ox, with two massive vines protruding from its head to form makeshift horns, which slither around in the air like serpents. The beast is entirely made of vines, all of different thickness and length, with a ridge of fungi running along its back. On its hind legs its about twenty eight feet tall, standing at twelve feet on all fours. Its eyes are just two empty sockets, with glowing golden orbs set inside, made of energy. It doesn't need to see as it is controlled by Albatross. Though it is extremely massive, it doesn't seem to apply too much force to its blows, implying that it is very light-weight, or that its vines are mildly feeble.
-Bankai Ability: - The Basics: In Bankai Albatross gains a significant boost in reiatsu, nothing more. It does seem to be able to regenerate its vines slowly, implying that it can be cut down, but not completely destroyed.
-The Special Ability: The Bankai form is able to produce the same kind of pollen as before, but at a much higher rate with a much longer distance. At this point coming within ten feet of the Bankai beast is a dangerous thing. If the opponent were to come close enough to the fungi, within five feet of the actual back of the beast, they would breathe in a pollen so potent that it would shut down their brain functions within two posts. The pollen within this area appears as a dark orange cloud of dust, because it is so potent that it becomes visible.
