Lee Takamoto

Lee Asamotto was a very wealthy man in his time. Japan was a hot spot for many things that he let himself indulge in. He had worked hard for the more of his life and the fact that he was born into an already wealthy family made his success even that much more assured. But due to this already guaranteed life, it made his view on the outside world someone something that is full of pity. He never cared for throwing money around because he loved the praise he would get from the common folk for it. It would spread like wildfire and he reveled in it.

Both of the Asamotto parents were both so wrapped up in there wealth and maintaining it that they never really had time for there son and he was more than welcome at this fact. He would wear what he wanted and it was always something that he loved to wear and knew he dressed nicer than the general populace adored everything that he wore. During one of his strolls among the lower reaches of the Edo area, he came across a woman cloaked in mystery. She came to him begging for his help for someone that he never knew. She had heard of his wealthy nature and his tendencies that she begged for his help. This woman's situation seemed dire and the thought of the amount of praise and other things he could get from the situation were many. He heard the woman's desperate plea about a young girl who had been forced into a life that was nothing of what she wanted for her. After getting some minor details, Asamotto entered the whorehouse in search of the girl that he was supposed to find.

It was not long that he was given his choice of females and spotted the one he wanted. After making a more private deal with the keeper, he took the girl with him outside after a few moments, reunited the two whom seemed more than overjoyed to see one another. He left them to themselves as he went off to go on another whim of buying clothes he thought were fitting.

The night had come faster than he had thought it would have and the new year was close to rolling in. Lee had looked around as saw a rather run down building and figured it would be more than suitable for a small stay. When he walked in, he met with the woman that he had just helped. He spoke with her for a few moments and it suddenly struck him. A new year was but only a few moments away, why not have the ending the past year doing something grand. He slowly withdrew a small dagger and was able to corner her into a small closet and there, he slit her throat from ear to ear. He was surprised at how easy it was and it was cleaner than he would have thought. He heard the sound of someone else from the washroom. He stood there as he heard the girl was already out and finally closed the door and turned to face her with a smile on his face. He had told her that the woman had gone out for supplies for them and she would come back shortly. Lee took the girl over toward a burning fire and they spoke of a few things to keep themselves entertained. She soon spoke about getting blankets and he spoke of there being no need for it. But she was already up and at the closet.

She opened it to find the left over corpse of what was once her dear friend of sorts. Lee was now behind the girl. He could not let this one go into the world to ruin him. But he did not get what he planned for as he jumped back to evade a rather lethal but a long scar on his cheek proved that it was not just a game. He did not however have much time to think of anything as his breath was taken from him as he was thrown onto a wall and a sudden pain enter him. The metal pipe that she had cut him with was now in his body and as he looked up once more, she was coming back with several more that went into him. His right arm, below his heart, his left shoulder, his liver and both kidneys. He held one in place pushing it further as she held him onto the wall. His life was ending, even if he was to get away, he would die in the streets before anyone could help. He was not going to let this girl best him. He let his knife enter his hand once again as he let it force itself way into the girls stomach, trying to move it further than it wanted to. He then pulled up on it as it tore through the girl like a burning blade through an block of ice. He let the blade rip itself free from her as he let his arm drop down. He was not going to fall to the ground, the pipes held him firmly in place against the wall
"Good thing...I....will not....be.....the only one....that's...going to die....tonight..."
His vision was now gone and the only thing he heard other than his own fading thoughts was the sounds of the new year and his own death that came to greet him so willingly.

Lee Takamoto slowly wandered around the complex of Edo. A long chain held fast to the market area where he would always go to show himself off to others. He still wanted to and for the longest time, he would fall into denial as he tried to help someone or give them something that they had missed in order to get some sort of praise. Years would pass and still no one would pay any notice to him, there were the select few that would be able to see him but they would run rather than converse.

One day, he grew tired of being confined to the one small area and forced himself to remove the chain that held itself to the ground. With a broken chain in hand, he wandered around the lands. Slowly, he started to dislike the way things were. Without the constant money that he gave, soon, his name was all but forgotten and others that never did nearly as great as he did took over and grew from far less. All the while, his chain growing shorter and shorter, eroding away at itself. He encountered a woman wielding a sword and dressed in black. The woman spoke of being some sort of reaper and in all realness, this kinda terrified him. Because of this, he ran. He made good use of himself being one of the dead and after a few more moments, he was able to get away but to what? Was it that good? He had no one to go to, he knew even less and he was not going anywhere. After a few more years, decades, he didn't keep count anymore. He was halted by another soul reaper and submitted. Come to find out, a Konsō was not as bad as he had thought and found it rather peaceful.

Lee was sent to the soul society and inside the Rukongai, he never really wanted to live with anyone else. He knew that it was better to look for himself and then let others watch out for there own. If the two ever crossed then it was more than okay to ask for help from one another. But he was able to meet with one person, the only one that he ever actually enjoyed the company with. She was nice to him and he was nice to her. They would cause so much trouble when it came to the general populace of the Rukongai that the occasional soul reaper would have to come out and try and catch the two hooligans.

But like all things, even after death, they can't last. Lee's curious nature of the Seireitei and the Soul Reapers were always picking at his mind. And one day, he decided that it was enough of games. He left the Rukongai and never looked back. He knew that if he told his friend, she would try and join and it would only cause her more pain when they had to separate. He left in hope that he brought the heartache with him.

He entered into the Shinō Academy not even a single day later. And quickly, he dismissed any and all other people around him. He cared nothing for them or what it was they wanted. He only wanted to further himself and what it was he wanted to do. And that was something that he did. He made sure to read into any and everything there was to know about hollows, soul reapers, the soul society, everything he could about anything. And Lee soon graduated from the Shinō Academy after just one year, at the top of his class and the ones before him for years.

After a amount of peace swept through the soul society, Lee was in a state of turmoil in himself. The soul society was weak. The defense all rested on the 13 courtyard squads but what if they were all in disarray and nothing else? He thought about bringing this to the head captain but to be a vice-captain, it would just fall on deaf ears. But he had for many years, a red book that he had been deciphering for ages and was closing in on what all was needed to make a living god or so he had thought. It was during this time that he meet someone while he was reading the book in a park. A girl. She claimed that she knew him from there childhood but this was something he could not recall. After he had left the Rukongai, he focused so hard on being a soul reaper that he forced himself to forget any such events that could not help him. Including his past. They sat there and spoke to each other, slowly he started to remember what they did, how much fun they had together, he actually laughed and that was something he had never done in his years in the squads. But things went south when she found the book and he was forced to tell her what it was about. He stole it back and disappeared from the Soul Society.

He now spends his time thinking of what he is to do next as he continues to try and decipher the text within the book. He continues to train in the ways of the soul reaper and has not forgotten about there ways, he simply does them his own way now.

Name: Hohō Hakashi
State: Shikai
Terms of Usage: Passive
Description: Lee abandons all attack strategies and focuses solely on dodging, evading, and over all running. He transfers the majority of his Reiatsu into getting from point to point faster and faster. This allows him to move faster than a Shunpo, Sonído, Hirenkyaku, Senka, or Utsusemi.
Downside: The constant flow of Reiatsu to the body makes holding the state for extended periods of time dangerous. Kido can not be used in the mist of running since the Reiatsu is focused at the body.


Name: Reichweite
State: Shikai
Passive or Active: Activate
Description: This uses Lee's increased movement speed and overall increase in reiatsu. Along with his normal punches and kicks that he may use, there is an extra foot or so added to both his feet and hand reach for attacks. The attacks may hurt the outside of the body slightly but it is more the inside. The spiritual pressure is increase where the foot or so would be and thus making a simple missed blow seem as though it had landed. If Lee is willing, he can focus more of his shikai into one strike for increased distance.
Downside: The effect of Reichweite can only be activated if there is no other spiritual power in contact with Lee himself or it will not work; It only works from five feet to twenty feet

Name: Absolute Total Renge
State: Shikai
Terms of Usage: Activate
Description: Start at :30 Lee halts his movement and draws in the already constantly flowing Reiatsu around him and in one sudden explosion, he sends out a massive shockwave around him to send any objects that are not set in the ground off it. He then takes and send his Shikai into an overdrive as he makes the single opponent his target. He is unseen in any sort of eye and the only thing that gives him away is the lines of light that are left in his wake as he continues to strike his opponent countless number of times, to the point that not even he himself knows. After a certain moment is reached, Lee appears in the air as if there are three of him, burning with spiritual power. First one comes down to send a straight left thrust downward onto the enemy, the second follows with a right, and the last, brings all of the remaining power down in one mighty strike to send the enemy into the already overly destroyed ground with a left first.
Downside: The overall toll on the body is greatly pushed and the Shikai can not operate near anything if at all to its purpose. In most cases, the armor falls off completely or with little left or will simply return to its sealed state.

Name: Vindicaus
State: Shikai
Terms of Usage:
Description: Lee is able to vibrate his armor at increasingly high speeds, this can be done to select pieces of the armor such as his arms, hands, legs, back, head, etc etc. This gives him a more destructive force to his usual speedy shikai. The speed of the vibrations allows him to not only attack with a touch but it acts as a good defense when he selects a single piece of his armor.
Downside: Lee can not use his passive ability and is overall slowed to a steady walk rather than his usual flashsteping. He can not keep the attack on for too long, else his body starts to destroy the very ground he walks on and thus making moving even more impossible.

Name: Astral Finish
State: Bankai
Terms of Usage: Activate
Description: Video Footage. Lee himself gets close enough to his target to where he can make physical contact with them. After he does this, it establishes his chains target more clearly. From that, he is able to summon what one would assume to be countless chains that twist and intertwine into snake like figures that force his enemy into the skies. Once there, the chains tightly form together in a snake like fashion in a almost glob-like fashion to extremely lower the chances of escape. Then, the bladed ends of the chains form at one point to form the head with its thousands of razor sharp blades. This beast can attack freely from this point onward.
Downside: The snake itself can only be held together for so long. As long as Lee is focused on his enemy, it is able to keep its shape. But if he moves to far from the spot where it was first summoned or he is focused on something else more than the current enemy, it will return to the ground and from whence it came.

Name: Takamoto Shin Kai
State: Bankai
Terms of Usage: Passive/Active
Description: The restraints on Lee's Reiatsu, Hakuda, Hohou, Sonido, Kidou, and Cero are only limited to his highest possible limits. Each of them can be used to its fullest and perfected in its own way. Even his smallest of attacks are far beyond that of any normal or even high level arrancar or captain.
Downside: Each of the six skills uses up untold amounts of its energy in the area of which he uses it. So sustaining the state depends on what he does and how long he does it.

Name: Demonic Arts
State: Regular
Terms of Usage: Passive
Description: Lee is able to use his scythe as a medium for his spells and thus gives him the ability to cast spells without the chats but have the simular power as if he did
Downside: He can not use spells that are higher than 73 without the chant, both Hadō and Bakudō. This is regardless of Kido level above the number, he MUST use the chants for the higher levels

Name: Inner World Insight
State: Bankai
Terms of Usage:
Description: This activation allows Lee to willingly allow an individual(s) into his own Spiritual World. When this is first activated, the targets must be motionless and the number of people can not be changed. No more, no less. Once inside the world, they are free to roam and may even try and tamper with things but the downside to this being is that since it is in fact Lee's Inner World, there is very little that he can not see.
Downside: Stipulations are; The number of people must be said before activation. All of the targets must be in plain sight. Once activated and successfully done, the individual(s) must either find there own way out or Lee himself releases them from the holdings. The skill can not last for too long and once they are free, Lee is forced out of his Bankai with about just enough energy to hold himself up and aware.
Chant: "Entering 'number of people', Chain of Seyfert, Hand of the wielder, arrive with the blade and depart with the words."

The first sight when enter the inner world of Lee's soul is a world full of night. The only source of light comes from a large building like that of a hospital. It has no real outstanding features about it but if one were to try and turn around or walk in a different direction. They would get no further from where they started and thus leaving them no choice but to enter the building. Reference

When one enters the building, they are greeted in a white corridor where there are very large elegant steps that lead upward to a large multi-colored plant. But on the ground level there are doors, two on each side of the stairs. Two simple brown wooden doors and then two beautifully red ones. Reference

If one takes the door to the far left, they are brought into what one could only assume to be that of a church. A huge room where the ceiling seems so high into the air and the ground holds many long pews. At the end of the ale, there are two huge tablets with millions upon billions of names that are so small, they are illegible as they are surrounded by a constant fire of blood red flames. Reference

If one takes the door to the far right, they are brought into a small room that if poorly lit and looks to have been torn apart in anger. In the center of the room is a platform that glows the only light that fills the room. There is a clock on the other side of the room that seems to never move from its set time. Inside the light that raises from the platform to the ceiling, are small cards that are in constant motion. These cards, with every revolution, show people that have made an impact in Lee's life at some point. There are 13 people that appear on the revolutions of the cards.Reference

If one takes the red door to the left of the steps, they are taken to an area that is a pure mimic of the 'Cherry Blossom Park' located in the Rukongai. They walk to be met by clear skies and a beautiful fountain that seems ever flowing and never changing. Benches are spotted every now and again to sit and relax if one wishes.=See Reference1 Following off in the only direction given will take someone down a elegant pathway with Sakura Trees on both sides of the walkway. The walk is something someone can make in peace and ease.=See Reference2 This pathway leads to a hilltop that overlooks a small lake that is spotted with trees here and there and a light breeze will put anyone to a calmer place in there mind. There is a pathway that leads down to the lake side. =See Reference3 Once at the bottom, there is a single bench that over looks the small lake with its silent flowing waters and gentle looking nature. =See Reference4

If one takes the red door to the right of the steps, they are taken to a thick bamboo thicket. The light that would usually rain from above is all but gone. The small pathway that starts out soon disappears into nothing more than more bamboo. The vastness of the area is seemingly endless bamboo and one could get lost easily. Reference

If one decides to take the high rise and walk up the many steps, there is no other exits or entrances at the top. But if they had gone to the other rooms and done special things of some sort. The plant of many colors will resonate just enough so that someone standing near it would notice. If they take hold of a leaf of the plant and pluck it, they are sent in front of a extremely large cherry blossom tree. The tree itself seems at peace with its surroundings and moves only with the wind. If one were to get close enough to the tree and take the time to focus, bark will fall from the tree to open up another entrance. Reference

After going through the secret passage, there is yet another room to be found. This one is darker and has a evil air about it. There are two sets of stairs to both the left and the right sides, both have metal knight looking armor figures standing at the ready. The stairs both circle around and lead to the same point at the top which is nothing more than a stainless glass window and an over view of the ground below. But to walk forward would lead to two angels that hold blades toward the sky and cross one another. Past them is two large double red doors that can be pushed open to lead to another set of gray and old looking stone doors that open to show the true sight. Reference

The first sight you see is that of massive demonic looking creature, bound by seals, spikes, and mage-like individuals seemingly suppressing the demon. All of which are motionless and give away there stone-appearance. A full moon holds itself high in the air of the rather large area.Reference

Off in the distance of the demonic statue, lightning flashes in silence every now and again. A large mountain raises high into the air and hold the spirit of Lee's Zanpakuto, the all mighty Seyfert as she rests, coiled around his mountain in wait. Reference
