General Information Name: Huo Lan (translates as Fire Orchid) Alias: Huo, Gender: Male Age: 136 (32 apperance) Birthdate: 1861 Birthplace: Tibet Current Residence: Soul society History: Abandoned as a baby atop the mountains of Tibet, he was left to cry alone under a bush of fire red flowers, his crying echoed across the usually peaceful terrain and shattered the serenity found there by the monks. After a long night alone he was found by one of the young monks out to gather water and rushed back to the temple, half frozen from the mountains cold and starved over the night the baby's future looked dim, and for the intervention of the temples high priest the new born would not have made it another day. the healing balms the old monk created from the flowers of the forest helped warm the child, the milk that was gathered from the temples goats fed him, and before long the babe was healthy once more. The Child was Named Huo Lan after the plants under which he had been found, and he grew strong upon the mountain, curious yet peaceful, playing games in the woods and the rivers. Since the days he could stand Huo was trained as a monk, he followed in their reflections, philosophies, meditation, daily routines and of course their martial arts. at the age of only 8 he showed great discipline, fighting masterfully with the other young monks and besting his peers despite always being the shortest, in meditation he sat like a statue of Buddha himself barely moving and the old priests could sense his unusual spirit, it's strength made those around him un-easy. at his tasks he finished them before everyone else, in philosophies his questions proved the most insightful... and yet his peers still looked down on him for his short stature. One day while gathering water along the trail Huo heard a cry, a desperate plea for help followed by shrieking that chilled his soul, but without hesitation Huo ran to the aid of the un-known victim. When he got there he saw a girl, a girl with a chain dangling from her chest trying to escape the grip of a what could only be an evil spirit a monster with a face of white... before him the monster bit the crying girl in two... her blood flowed and the young huo looked on in despair... the horror planted the 8 year old to the ground.. and the monsters empty eyes gazed down at him.. "you can see me?" it said to the boy in alarm... then it repeated it's words "you can see me!!" this time in satisfaction... Fear no longer planted Huo.. something else did, a force, a downwards push, as if gravity had suddenly intensified on his feet and his feet alone, the monster charged at him, he closed his eyes expecting to feel the hard jaws of that white face come crashing down upon him like they did to the young girl.. instead he heard the shriek of pain, and felt the warmth of liquid on his face, as his opened his eyes, he saw the fell beast stagger backwards blood spewing from the horrific white face... and then his eyes focused on the silhouette.. a samurai... a man in black with a katana stood between him and the creature... "You will not claim another one today!!" the samurai screamed, "OR EVER AGAIN!!" and the man in black charged, sword held aside ready to swing as the monster righted itself to defend, The screams of battle came from both as they charged at one another blade and claws poised to kill and the seconds before they met passed like an eternity to the young huo who could only watch as the two collided... Huo awoke from the cot-bed that was his, the wet cloth upon his forehead fell to his lap, and the old monk next to him smiled warmly to see his reaction... "the samurai!" he said with sharp words, "what happened to the samurai!!" The old monk looked surprised, but stood slowly "You are gifted young huo... with sight of another kind... but relax and when you feel better i will explain what it is you seem to have witnessed" with that the old monk left the room. Indeed the old monk did tell huo what it was he witnessed, but many years later, when his child like mind had grown to be more mature, even though his tendencies for playing in the woods and rivers didn't seem to go away, his soul still shook those around him more in meditation, and his martial prowess grew with each day, now he bested not only his peers but often his teachers when they made the slightest mistake against him, like a thirst for knowledge and strength that could not be quenched Huo grew, learning all the monks could offer. and with what his master had told him he knew a greater fight lay ahead, if he saw the samurai.. no Shinigami again... this time he would not stand still, he would not shake in fear at the creature called a hollow, he would battle the evil spirit and he would defeat it... But no such opportunity came to Huo, and the years passed by silently, peacefully, he was a full grown man, and still he had had no chance to redeem himself against such a foe, no chance to offer penance to the young girls spirit he had failed to save. around him those of the temple either cared greatly for him and his gift of spirit, or shunned his company with little understanding, he now meditated alone for the others could no longer stand to meditate in the same room as his soul sored in reflection. But as he reached his thirty second summer political unrest had grown strong in the world, the government of china did not take the Tibetan monks protests against their march for war well, nor did they head the wisdom of it's eldest monks, and while Huo meditated alone, there army marched towards the temples he called his home. they came with fire, they came with steel, they came with guns... it was a slaughter and huo awoke to the sound of gun fire... he was startled, shocked and the screams of dying monks echoed through his head like the screams of the small girl so long ago.. the monster had come again, though in a different form... he stood from his room, reached out and grabbed the pair of nun chucks he had been training with that day. he charged through the temple any soldiers he saw he struck down without mercy, only pity that they had chosen this path, guns fired at him but moved in-humanly quickly and the soldiers aim fired at where he was stood not where he moved, again the weapons in his hands struck out breaking the bones of his opponents, every body he saw was that of the monks, even the children had not been spared and his anger grew stronger and stronger, little stood in his way, then he reached the great entrance, his master lay on floor, arms spread and body riddled with bullet holes... horror took Huo once more, the lose so great his world collapsed in on it's self, and tears ran down his cheek, he walked to his master side, and held the dead body of the what could only been seen to him as his father, the tears flowed faster, and the commander of the Chinese forces stepped forward, pistol drawn and put the gun to Huo's head "pathetic old monks... this is what happens when you stand in the way of progress" Huo just held his master, as with one loud ring, his world turned black... Huo awoke in a sandy place, small huts lined the roads, and the wind played with the dust like a child would butterfly's... he struggled to his feet, he felt weak, weaker than he had ever felt before, but stumbled forward he took in his surroundings, the place seemed disserted, then his head sang with pain and he fell to his knee's clutching his temple's... and as soon as it started it went away his eye's opened sharply and before him he saw a sword...two swords... there sheaf's a deep red leather, and handle's brazen with a dragon head pommel.. katana's... no shorter wakazashi's, he touched one and the second he did an image of two red dragon's face's shot through his mind, they growled loudly then died away... these weapons where dangerous... he didn't know where he was, or what had happened to him, he just remembered his master... his master.. and anger ran through him like fire he gripped the first sword and the image of the dragons returned to him the screamed un-comprehensibly.. and his grip tightened around the handle.. but he snapped out of it... these two swords... only stood for vengeance.. and vengeance is no way to live... he took up the other sword and strapped them to his side, he would find a place for them, were no one would find them, and he would cast them aside. He travelled long, and hard, stopping to help all those he could, living off what he could, he found his appetite here was more than ever before, but he always walked on, each place he came to he found a child in need of food, a women in need of defence, a store owner being robbed, but he could never find somewhere to discard the hideous swords... even when he did they would appear next to him he morning after he slept... they followed him with each step and each time they came back they brought the horribly memories of what could only be his death with them, and the faces of the two headed dragon.. the dragon that would consume him. Huo approached what was known as district 63, not as run down as some of the other places he'd visited, deffinatly not the place he had started off in, and as he walked towards the large guard door a carriage went by him, on it sat a man in black robes... a shinigami... Huo stared in disbelief, after all this time he had watched, heard of the stories and now one passed him by so easily on the road... such a strange feeling. He approached the gate and stood waiting for the guard, as the shinigami looked back the gates opened, as for Huo the guards turned on him sharply.. "Who are you peasant?" they shouted at him, "you can't enter here without a pass peasant" Huo looked on strangly.. "but that shingami has no pass, you let him through, why not me?" "because he's a shingami, and your just a peasant" the guard screamed back "but why the difference in treatment, i do not understand this in balance?" The guard laughed in Huo's face.. "Because he's a respected soul reaper with spiritual pressure that could topple a worm like you! even my spiritual pressure could if i wanted to!!" Huo remained calm, he remained polite, he spoke with warmth and welcome "With all due respect.. i don't think it could, and the shingami maybe strong.. but my spiritual pressure is much more, so can i pass now? i have not eaten in a few days and am very hungry" The Guard stared in disbelief, looked at his friend "That’s enough from you wise guy! now get lost" the guards foot shot out at Huo, but his martial training kicked in, he caught the guards foot and spun it, sending the guard flying head over feet to the ground" the other guard drew his sword, and Huo let out a deep breath, he allowed his spirit to sore, his pressure put the guard fell to his knee's "i have asked nicely friend, and as you can see, i am strong enough to pass this way, now please i have little time to..." the effort of sustaining his pressure weighed on him, his stomach growled with hunger, and he staggered "Please.. let me through before i" the gate swung open and the shingami from before burst though it to see Huo struggling to stand with his pressure bellowing out from him... then Huo toppled to the ground. the bed was soft.. how long had it been since his bed was soft... "You awake?" the pillow.. there was a pillow... "hey are you waking up or not?" and the blanket was thick, it was warm... "five more minutes sensei..." he mumbled "Get UP LAZY MONK!!" and with that a harsh foot kicked Huo awake... It was the shinigami from the gate. Huo Lan got up to his feet, his legs wobbled... he stood straight. "Eat this before you pass out again" the shinigami tossed a large portion of meat to Huo, who gladly ate it up quickly, "eww calm down before you choke" indeed Huo choked... when he stopped he looked up and bowed to the shinigami, "Thank you my friend, you have saved my starving stomach" his stomach growled.. the shingami stared at him "perhaps i haven't... what happened back there, that spiritual pressure, those guards say you attacked them because you we're trying to get in" "Oh no, i would not attack someone, they said you had to be strong, like a shinigami, like you, to enter and so i showed them my strength only... i was too hungry to really prove myself" "Too hungry? you mean that wasn't everything? i know shinigami who aren’t as strong as that! not any kind of seated officer obviously, but still! haven't you ever thought of going to the academy?" Huo looked on solemnly "i must find my sensei before i could think about moving on... but could you take these i can't seem to dispose of them, an honourable soul reaper like yourself could find somewhere they can be stored beyond danger" Huo unwrapped an oblong bundle to produce the two short swords and the shingami's face turned white... "YOU IDIOT!! there your zanpaktou!! you can't give them away!! THAT'S APART OF YOUR SPRIT!!" huo stared at them, for so long he had tried to part from them and they had followed, screaming in a language he did not understand, angry like the wrath of a blazing fire, "Apart of... me..." The shingami turned to him... "Your coming to the Academy, whether you want to or not, without knowing what those are your a great threat to all around you" it was only now huo stopped to look around him, he peered out window of the small room and as always the villagers hid from him, behind doors and windows peering out hoping he would disapear. he let out a breath.. "Very well shinigami.. i will go to your academy if only to find a way silencing these beasts. And So Huo Lan entered the Soul reaper Academy, At first he was slow to grasp some of it's teachings, others from "noble" birth looking down on him, while those from the poor districts shunning him for not being one of them, one of the hard up, but he cared little, it gave him time to meditate, time to reflect, and something he had not been able to do at his temple, experience new things, amongst one of these was sake!! but as he grew more confident in his surroundings his talents came forward, he fought hard and bested many, he studied well and learned much others paid no head to, and his kido skills came where not short of strength. In his Live exercises Huo proved pivotal in taking down the hollow, his record seemed to gleam and he looked to be a perfect candidate for any squad, except for his new weakness for sake, but seemed to keep that under control. Huo graduated amongst the top of his class, his strength well respected by his peers, even though his height was not. Upon Graduation Huo served in the 11th squad for a considerable time, though he left with grace to join squad 8 when he wanted to expand his Kido knowledge. He joined captain shunsui, many commented on the similarities, the duel zanpakutou, the love of sake, but mostly how obvious it was for Huo to join squad 8 after leaving 11, and why had he not joined before? Even so Huo admired his new captain whole heartedly and strove ever more to be like him, his ways intrigued him, how he could just disappear for hours and turn up on a roof somewhere so care free, yet at the heart of the man a stubborn resolution. zaraki's love of fighting had often un-nerved him, and though the experience of battle had served him well the pace of squad 11 life was to brutal for his monk like ways. Visual Age: Huo Lan looks to be in his early thirties. Division: Squad 8. Divisions: Huo Used to be the 9th seat of squad 11, he proved his mettle in battle but was playfully teased about his height and lack of battle lust Rank: Currently 4th seat Appearance Visual Appearance: ![]() ![]() Physical Appearance: his body is lithe, but the muscle is wiry and strong, not bulky. he is notably shorter than the average male, but stands just taller than the average female at a modest 5 foot 6 inch's. His hair is short black and kept trimmed. Clothing and Armour: His Shinigami outfit is quite trimmed back, the upper body has no sleeves and only the right part of the robe covers his front, draped over his shoulder. leaving the left side of his chest exposed. tide to his waste is usually a bottle of sake, and both his right and left arms have thick bands tide around his wrists. Personality: Huo is a calm individual, he will often try to talk down opposition rather than reach for his swords, there's a bottle of sake attached to his belt next to his zanpakutou he offers to anyone willing to take a drink with him, and most people see him as a warm and friendly person. though within him there's a deep and dark anger from the tragedy that befell his home and caused his death, this will only show itself in battle or when pushed to the edge of his emotions (or when enough people make short jokes!) Zanpakutou Zanpakutou Name: Ka Ryu (Fire drake) Spirit Appearance: Ka Ryu is a Small (think palm of hand.. sit on shoulder easily) Two headed dragon, it represents the conflicting sides of Huo Lan's personality, his great anger, and also calm disposition, though the spirit it's self is just about always angry either wanting to prove itself despite it's small size, or burning to fight strong enemies. It's scales a red bright red and it's Aura tail is always a burning flame. Sealed Form: Ka Ryu is actually two short swords (or wakazashi) each about 18 inch's long, and the sheaf of both is a deep red leather, with the guards looking like dragon wings, and the pommel's shaped like dragon heads. Shikai Shikai Release Phrase: FLY KA RYU! Shikai Appearance: In It's released form the two swords turn to a pair of Nun-chuck's the last weapons wielded by Huo Lan before he died. each handle is shaped more like a dragon, with the mouths open at either end, the linking chain is the black and silver colour most of released Zanpackutou's blade's. Shikai Abilities: Ka Ryu is the perfect close quarter weapon, being two flailing sticks on a chain is very difficult to defend against, however they are shorter than most swords, this puts Huo at great Risk before getting in close enough to attack, the short range is made up for with the intensity of close attacks. There Defensive potential is quite high as Huo can bat aside most sword attacks and counter quickly with the other pair, however long weapons can keep him on the defensive, and he can always block a strong attack with the chain rather than the handle. ka Ryu has two abilities, the first is the chains can extended to lash out from a distance, each can do this twice (so a total of 4) but the attacks are no stronger than a regular blow from ka ryu, they can be unleashed one at a time, or all at once for a greater chance to hit. the second power is that this chain can then use Huo's reiatsu to heat to a molten level and explode in white hot fire, meaning just about anyone entangled in the chains can be incinerated by the heat. this attack is the ultimate power of his shikai. Fighting with the extended chains does prevent Huo from having a proper form of defence and should they close the gap huo will have to relay on his own dodging speed before being able to call back Ka Ryu to it's original length. Learned Kidō: 4. Crawling Rope 39. Arc Shield 43. Chains of dead weight (chains shoot from the floor and catch the enemy holding them to the ground) 4. White Lightning 31. Shot of Red Fire |

Approved, keep in mind guys and gals, you may have three characters in total, with a limit of two canon characters out of that and a limit of one MAJOR canon character. So if you already took one major canon character your next character has to be an original or a minor canon character. I'll be the judge of what canons are major and minor, but common sense makes it obvious. Captains, major characters, faction leaders, Espada, etc., are all major canons. Do check out the Canon List and consider some stuff before the good characters are taken.
