Name: Maedel Lencarde
Age: Around 190 years old
Gender: Male
Race: Shinigami
Weapon: KesshouHoshi (zanpakuto)
Weapon Info/Abilities: Shikai: "Shine and Pierce/Scorch, KesshouHoshi!" KesshouHoshi's power manifests in two elements, Crystal and Star, each one is active during a different time of the day. During the daytime the crystal side is activated and the blade extends and becomes crystallized in Shikai. In this phase, KesshouHoshi has three abilities, Kesshou Renda which upon swinging Maedel can send a large barrage of deadly crystal shards piercing through his enemies, the second is Kesshou Sekijun which when Maedel stabs into the ground, he can cause crystal stalagmites to erupt from the ground anywhere he desires and try to impale his opponents as long as its on the same surface that his sword is stabbed into, the third technique is Kesshou Hansou which is an alternate way of transportation; Maedel is enclosed in a rough crystal sphere and then is pulled underground, where he can travel and pop up from the ground and emerge from the shattered transport. During the nighttime the star side is activated and the blade extends and glows and glitters a bright starry yellow color. In this phase KesshouHoshi also has three abilities the first is the Hoshi Renda which is very similar to the Kesshou Renda only instead of crystal shards when swung, it releases a large barrage of small stars which rather than pierce, scorch his enemies brutally, the second ability is Hoshi Arashi: when Maedel stabs his sword upwards into the air, the blade vanishes as though it were dipped into a pool of water; a small dimensional rift in other words. When this happens Maedel can open up what appear to be circular black portals which appear to have many stars within them, during this time Maedel can cause large stars to shoot from these portals and brutally strike his enemies unless the enemy is swift enough to avoid them. The third ability is Hoshi Hansou which - like Kesshou Hansou - is a transport ability, only this time it's through a small pocket dimension. The rift that the blade disappears into when Maedel thrusts it into the air opens up and sucks him in, instantly vanishing afterwards and then appears as though he's soaring through a starry expanse very fast and then quickly a portal opens elsewhere depositing him there, both Kesshou and Hoshi Hansou techniques are excellent escape methods in case shunpo fails.
Bankai: KesshouHoshi Amatsuhakumei When Maedel calls out his Bankai, he's engulfed by a crystal blue and starry yellow light, once that light clears Maedel then has two swords half the size of a zanbato but the blades shaped similar to falchions one in each hand, one sword is crystallized, the other is starry yellow, as well as two very large angelic wings one of which is also crystal and the other starry. In this form, Maedel's power is greatly amplified and he's able to use the two wings for flight and is capable of shooting rapid wide barrages of crystal shards and small stars out of his wings as he flies and is very deadly with the two large blades he wields. However, his Bankai also has two devastating abilities, the Crystal Earth and the Starry Sky techniques. The crystal earth technique is unleashed when Maedel drops the crystallized sword onto the ground where it vanishes and soon the entire ground all around him becomes crystallized in a very wide radius. In this phase, Maedel is able to control the crystallized ground with his mind, causing stalagmites to erupt all around and even curve like snakes to attempt to impale his opponents, even using the stalagmites in defense as he attacks with the starry blade. The starry sky technique is activated when Maedel throws the starry sword into the air where it vanishes, and then a very massive starry portal opens up above him and his opponent as wide as the radius of the crystal earth when it's active, making it appear as though they were suddenly in space or very close to the stars. In this state, Maedel can control the endless stars in the sky to rain down and strike his opponents, even causing them to follow after his enemies and strike, and he can also call the stars over to him as a defensive revolving shield as he attacks with the crystallized sword. The glaring downside to Maedel's Bankai is that using either the Crystallize Earth or the Starry Sky techniques drains his reiatsu at a very alarming rate, and he takes a very dangerous risk if he ever chooses to use both at the same time, thus he often prefers to attack with just the wing and the swords.
Personal Abilities: Along with his intense skill with swordsmanship, Maedel is also highly accomplished with Kido and shunpo, and is able to use most kido spells without the incantations, and is very swift and deadly. If anything, his defense is just around the average Captain's defense.
Character Bio: How Maedel lived his life in the Land of the Living he has no memory, indeed it was clear that he was a mere infant when he died within that world. But after learning while growing up in the rukongai that he was saved by a Shinigami, he's devoted his entire life and future to the Shinigami cause and entered the Academy. After becoming among the Shinigami, he was placed into the Fifth Division and served under Captain Aizen for quite some time... but soon came his rebellion and shortly afterward the Squad Fourteen revolution. During that time, Squad Five was leaderless, almost even powerless to do anything other than follow orders. Thus Maedel came up with a new intention of becoming the new Captain if he could, and so during the rebellion he trained on his own his. Soon after Squad Fourteen crushed Aizen, they began their revolution against the Gotei 13. Squad Five was commissioned to protecting the Squad Four Headquarters while the wounded were treated. And in time came their victory. It was during such times that the young man was able to perfect his Shikai during the time of Captain Shurajou's rule and soon after he achieved Bankai.
Additional Info: In terms of personality, Maedel is honor-bound to his duties as Captain but is not above being sometimes a bit laid back. Otherwise, in tense situations, he can be hotheaded, hasty and stubborn. But nevertheless, he's very loyal to his Squad and will not allow any of them to die in vain without him doing anything about it. Mess with his Squad and you'll mess with Maedel and live to regret it.
