Aliases/Nicknames: N/A

Gender: Male

Race: Shinigami

Age (before death/appears to be): 23

Birth date/Death date: 10/03/1257 11/11/1277

Description: Korin has rather short hair that only goes just past his ears. He wears silver square framed glasses, and behind these optical enhancing objects are the cold blue eyes of a predator. Over his standard black uniform he wears a solid white button up dress shirt that is buttoned half way up and loosely tucked into his hakama.

Personality: Korin usually comes off as quite pleasant and kind but that is a facade that hides his true murderous self. Though he is acting very friendly to you he is actually trying to find the best and most painful way to end your life. The way that Korin thinks and acts are polar opposites and he hides this very well. To this day not one person knows that he is really a blood thirsty fiend that will do anything to win. Though he has this attitude he will not raise his sword to kill an ally unless they are threatening his or another person's life. Another thing that sets Korin away from every one else is he will never draw his sword first in a fight or even a spar for that matter. No matter what happens to him the calm exterior will not break. Korin also believes that Kidou is pointless and stupid, there for he will not use it at any costs. However what others do not know is that he isn't very good at kidou. Along with never drawing his blade first he will never go into a fight that he doesn't intend on winning, this includes spars as well as fights to the death. Even though he thinks on it and always contimplates ways to kill people he will never take the life of someone that has last to him. To Korin this is a chance for his opponent to get stronger and fight him again.

-Zanpakutou Info-

Zanpakutou Name: 毒蛇王 Dokuhebi-ō 毒蛇王 (Viper King)

Zanpakutou Spirit Description: A black and white Pit Viper that is twenty five feet long and had a circumference of four feet at its widest girth Dokuhebi-o is one of the if not the fastest Zanpakuto spirit in existence. What it lacks in damage and strength it more than makes up for in pure speed.

Zanpakutou Sealed Appearance: A basic red chokuto, meaning it has no guard and its blade is straight and narrow. its appearance does not change at all in shikai or bankai

Shikai 毒ヘビ藩主 Dokuhebi hanshu 毒ヘビ藩主 (Viper Lord) (Unattained)

Shikai Abilities/Attacks

1. ストライキ Sutoraiki ストライキ(Strike): Korin swings his blade at an unseable speed. This attack is so fast that shinigami of captain ranks even have a very difficult time seeing the flash from it. This is Korin's most basic attack and takes no time to recharge, Its draw backs are the slight flash and its extremely close range, This move demonstrates the shear speed of a viper when it strikes.

2.マルチストライキ Maruchisutoraiki マルチストライキ(Multi-Strike):This ability allows Korin to disappear for a very short amount of time via usage of sheer speed. While he is in this state he is easily capable of attacking up to fifteen times. While this is very hard to dodge it also has a major flaw. When ever he goes to attack his blade becomes completely visible and seems to travel in slow motion. Takes 3 posts to recharge. This attack show cases the speed of a viper's strike. As when it strikes it is almost invisible until it reaches its prey.

3.毒のストライキ Doku no sutoraiki 毒のストライキ (Venom Strike): A clear liquid seeps from Korin's blade through various microscopic openings. This liquid has the viscosity of water and is a very powerful neuro-toxin. Meaning it effects the nerves of the one it is injected into. This happens when an attack is landed and breaks the skin. The poison cause high levels of excruciating pain that last for a small time. The formula changes after every fight to keep the victims from developing an immunity to it. How it changes is unknown to Korin and he would rather not use this ability. This take 2 posts to recharge. This attack shows the venom that a viper uses to subdue its prey.

(Note: Abilities of his shikai do not have to be spoken. They can be thought in order to use them. Speaking the command just increases the power of the attack.)

Bankai 毒蛇神 Dokuhebi-shin 毒蛇神 (Viper God) (Unattained)

Bankai Release Command: Strike and coil upon your victims and feast on their flesh, Dokuhebi-shin

Bankai Appearance:

Bankai Abilities/Attacks

1.ストライキを曲がる Sutoraiki o magaru ストライキを曲がる (Curving Strike): This ability allows Korins blade to stretch and get longer, at a maximum length of five thousand two hundred eighty feet or a mile for the slow people. The speed that this initial stretch happens is four times the speed of sound. While it is at this length it can curve around buildings, trees and various other objects to find its prey. As stated the range of this attack is very long but it takes four posts to recharge. Once its prey is located it violently shoots toward them at an attempt to impale said prey. This depicts the slithering motion as well as the strike of a viper.

2.落雷 Rakurai 落雷 (Lightning Strike): Easily the fastest melee attack in the soul society, it allows Korins blade to extend and contract faster than mach twenty. As a result of such speed it causes a very loud, audible boom. The boom is a result in the blade breaking the sound barrier several times over. The boom is one of the hints to blocking the strike. However not even Korin knows how long the blade can reach because it is even to fast for him to see where it ends. Since this attack is so fast it takes 3 posts to recharge and Korin has only one chance to make the attack count. This attack again show cases the speed of the pit viper.

3.広い印象的なスイング Hiroi inshō-tekina suingu 広い印象的なスイング(Wide Striking Swing):Korins blade extends to four hundred feet and stays that way for up to four posts. the speed it gets to its maximum length is mach two and retracts at the same speed. While like this, his blade is capable of cutting through inanimate like a hot knife through butter (this excludes Zanpakutos). The biggest draw back to this attack is there is a no hurt zone in a ten feet radius around Korin. This also takes three posts to recharge. This exhibits how sharp the vipers fangs are.

4.蛇のステルス Hebi no suterusu 蛇のステルス(Stealth of the Serpent): Allows Korin to vanish unnoticed via usage of speed to get away from his enemy in order to regroup. In the wake of him vanishing an exact replica is left in his place that disappears after being hit. Only one use per fight. This shows how sly and sneaky that all serpents are.

Biography: Korin was born in the world of the living seven hundred forty years before the invasion of the Soul Society by Ichigo Kurosaki and his friend. He was the son of a poor shop keeper and had to struggle to get by. At a very early age he could see spirits and this made him a constant target for hollows. One day while walking home from the market he met a girl who was being chased by something. He didn't know what it was at that time and ended up saving her but at a cost. The beast ended up taking his right arm. What Korin didn't realize is that he would soon end up falling in love with this woman.

Soon after he and the woman met again, this time neither one of was in any form of danger. Instead hey started talking and became friends. During their friendship he found out that she could see spirits as well. Which put her in the same position as him, constantly running from these things with a white mask. After Korin took over his father's shop he and the young woman moved in together and lived as roommates for several short months. One while walking home Korin was hit and struck down by a rampaging bull. While he was on his death bed it finally gave him the courage to tell the woman how he felt about her but it was to late. Before she could reply it was to late. As soon as he died his chain of fate was severed. A while after he died Korin stood watch at his old house to see the young woman killed by a drunken samurai

Before they could meet up again he was captured by a hollow and taken to Hueco Mundo. He was transformed into what had taken his arm, a hollow with nothing, no care no heart, just pure primal instinct. He lived as a hollow for almost twenty years, eating pluses and shinigami. After the twenty years he lived as a shinigami he was exorcised by a captain with a long white beard. Once he was killed again he woke up in the Soul Society. This time he had his arm back and a pool of hatred inside of himself. Not hatred of some one or something, but for himself.

He lived in the eightieth area of the Rukon district, fighting and just trying to survive and build his reaitsu. Eventually he fought enough to have the spiritual pressure high enough to go to the Shino Academy. After he graduated the academy he was accepted into squad four as the fourteenth seat. Over the course of four hundred years he made a friend in squad three, and eventually got to the point of considering each other brothers. At the time his brother died he was the eighth seat of squad eleven. He was killed by an arrancar, and once Korin found this out he swore he would kill every one that walked the plains of Las Noches until he killed the one that killed his closest friend. The one he considered a brother. The death of this friend is what gave him the Kill all mentality that he now carries. This death of his friend was the drive and the fuel he used to eventually make lieutenant of his brothers squad.
