Personality
When off-duty, Senroku depicts himself as a lazy, laid-back shinigami with the mental disposition of a hardened war general. He enjoys combat, though not enough too go around and start picking fights. Sen believes that each shinigami deserves the amount of respect that they themselves give out, except he has none for those who believe themselves too be better than others. He can get quite angry in a hurry, and is known too have a very short temper span, even with other shinigami.

When on duty, Senroku's persona changes in a way. He becomes somewhat a tactician, and analyses every situation before acting. He is a quick-thinker, able to come up with a plan simply by observing the movements of the enemy. Many say that while on the field he resembles that of a tactician, due to the way he is able to analyse and turn the tables when in dire situations. He always is able to maintain focus too, and never loses his composure mid-battle.

Whilst his Hollow mask is put in play, Senroku becomes emotionless, and can tolerate generally many types of pain. He speaks only when needed, and plays around with the opposition before actually finishing them.

Background
Senroku is barely able to analyze any of his life as a child, and can only remember that both his parents were Shinigami of the 4th division, and each day would leave their home to live, fight and die for what they believed in. He was always home alone, and grew independent through the years. He had learnt to do everything for himself, and was taught that the only person you could ever rely on was yourself, and your squad. He dreamed of becoming a Shinigami as his parents were, and every day would go out into the streets and challenge people his age to brawls.

He always won, of course.

As he grew older his father would return home without his mother, Kyûki, and revealed to him that a hollow had slayed her during one on one combat. His father was a man of honour, and would not step in on a duel to the death. His father placed him into the Shinigami academy then, and Senroku would develop his skills for many years to come. It seemed the pressure of having a child and being a Shinigami got to his father though, and one day allowed his hollow adversary to slay him in battle. Senroku was heartbroken, and moved in with one of his Academy tutors.

After many years he graduated the academy, and joined the 10th Division. During his time in 10th Divison he befriended the Taichô, and was taught by him directly, learning various skills all while unlocking his own. When Hitsugaya passed fighting the Espada, after much debate, Senroku was appointed the new 10th Divison Taichō to honour Hitsugaya. Since being appointed Taichō he has slain hundreds of hollows during battle, gaining a distinguishing scar across his eye after being clawed nearly to death by an Arrancar.

Recently, after being sent to Earth, Senroku did battle with an Arrancar, and the pain dealt through the battle caused his inner hollow to awaken. The hollow is known as Alvarez, and shows itself by taking over Senroku's body in times of dire need.

[Senroku]

Equipment

Zanpakutō
Kusanagi (、芝刈り機 Grass Cutter) When sealed, Kusanagi appears as a normal Katana, with the exception of a cross-guard. It's hilt is white, with a single black stripe running down it. The saya is exactly the same as the hilt, so that when sheathed the blade appears as a mere piece of painted wood. The blade is kept on Senroku's left hip, and is roughly only 85cm long, shorter than most blades.

The spirit of Kusanagi is that of a large, fiery red fox with glowing yellow eyes and a booming voice. Senroku, like several other shinigami, had a close connection with the spirit before he tapped into his shinigami powers, and so the bond between the two is quite strong. It is apparent that Kusanagi's element is Lightning.

Shikai: Kusanagi's release command is "Bring Justice upon my enemies" (私の敵に正義をもたらしてください). In shikai form, Kusanagi changes entirely, extending in both length and size. The hilt turns red, and the blade becomes crooked and sharper. A small lever also rests above the hilt, which comes into use as a weapon for the sword.

Shikai Special Ability: The lever located beside the hilt seems somewhat meaningless from appearance, though is the main factor in Kusanagi's control over Lightning. Through gripping the lever and pushing it downward towards the hilt, Senroku is able to conduct electricity through the blade. The harder he pushes, the more electricity is generated.

Smite the Unworthy (価値のなさを打ってください): One of Kusanagi's greater powers in Shikai. By conducting enough electricity through his Zanpakutō, Senroku is able to create a torrent of lightning in the form of a dragon, which charges towards the enemy at breakneck speeds. The dragon, if it makes a direct hit, is capable of incinerating the opposition.

Bankai

Appearance
After uttering the release phrase "Bring judgement Kusanagi, and Shake thy heavens!" Kusanagi starts to grown in length, becoming six inches longer and losing it's trademark lever. The blade straightens out and takes on a silver finish, gleaming as it reflects all light. Senroku's left/right arm (which ever is non sword hand) starts glowing only for a moment revealing sliver armor plating running from the shoulder to finger tips. The armor is etched with thin channels that glow with a vibrant blue energy creating an entricate design. The channels collect at the shoulder guard creating spirals around two small lightning rods, that are costantly generating eletrical energy.

This energy can easily travel through Senroku's body allowing him to carry the eletrical current over to his sword and direct it with great ease out to his opponent. when charged with his eletrical energy the blade of the sword is illuminated with the same blue energy revealing tiny small channels running throughout the blade as well. In Bankai state his hair spikes out slightly at the back, and lightning crackles around his person. Senroku's trenchcoat also takes up a more blue colour. Appearance

Bankai Abilities

Lightning Control
(稲妻コントロール)
The lightning rods positioned on his shoulder can easily and rapidly collect the necessary ions to charge a vast amount of electricity into his armor plated arm, Though essentially used for storing the charge this arm can very easily control and manipulate lightning to it's will, That includes any lightning released by an opponent who also possess the element. Along with this supreme control also comes a complete immunity to the effect of either his own, or lightning generated from an opponent.

Fist of the Thunder God
(雷の神のこぶし)
Senroku slams his electrically charged fist into the ground sending cascading waves of energy into the earth. Mere seconds later the ground erupts violently with blue energy knocking back anything it comes in contact with as well as severely damaging any enemies caught in the blast. A side effect of this attack is a temporary paralysis that last a few seconds after the lightning strikes. (fist of the thunder god can also be used as a punch directly to the opponent causing them to overload with electrical energy, effectively killing them for death enabled threads)

Lightning Stampede
(稲妻殺到)
Senroku collects energy into the tip of Kusanagi and releases a massive blast of lightning at his opponent. The blast moves at a speed so fast that it's extremely difficult to avoid and is strong enough to smash through most spiritual barriers. The lightning is capable of traveling long distances but is especially potent up close. A point blank to mid ranged blast is capable of killing an unguarded foe.

Cleansing Lightning
(浄化稲妻)
Quite an unusual ability as it actually uses the destructive power of lightning to heal Senroku. Senrokku rapidly charges lightning directly into his body releasing and absorbing the energy into his form. When this is done his body goes into overdrive rapidly healing small to deep wounds and even speeding up the repair of broken bones. Senroku could essentially heal from a near death state in a matter of seconds. however using this ability is severely taxing on his body and it's best to rest afterward as Senroku would feel incredibly drained.

Transcending Shockwave
(衝撃波を超えています)
A last ditch effort sort of technique only used in the most dire of circumstances. Senroku will charge the energy in his body similar to the way he begins cleansing lightning, but instead of absorbing it into his body he will rapidly release it in a massive explosion that craters the earth around him. Any thing caught within the blast would be devastated, with increased damage depending on how close they are to Senroku. The following aftershock is strong enough to level entire buildings, so even after the initial explosion the opponent is not in the clear. The blast has a radius of 65ft and everything within 30 feet of it's center would be completely destroyed.

Hollowfication

Hollow Mask: Senroku's hollow mask is far different too most, and is plain white with small slits for eyes and another for the mouth. A purple triangle resides beneath each eye hole. A bolt of purple lightning goes down the left side, ending just below the eye. Appearance.

Cero (虚閃 (セロ): Cero is a form of attack used by Menos, Arrancar and Vizard. Basically an energy blast, it consists of firing a blast of concentrated spirit energy at the target. While in most cases it is fired from the mouth, some Arrancar and Vizard are capable of firing Cero from their hands, fingers and other parts of their bodies.

Hierro:
Hierro is an Arrancar technique in which the user's reiryoku condenses, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block a Zanpakutō. This also allows them to fight some of the sword-wielding Shinigami barehanded. This technique is automatically activated upon the summoning of Senroku's Hollow Mask.

Power Augmentation (出力増大):
While wearing the mask, Senroku's Hollow powers supplement his Shinigami powers, giving him a vast increase in both strength and speed. The explanation for this is that since Hollows boost their natural abilities by obtaining spirit power around them, either by absorbing it in its ambient form or devouring it directly from another living being, Senroku attains power from two separate sources: that from himself (drawn using his Shinigami powers), and that from his immediate environment (drawn with the help of his Hollow powers), allowing him to draw power from both sides.

Enhanced Endurance:
Whilst in his Hollow form, Senroku is able too take far more attacks without getting injured, and can endure great blows without taking as much damage as usual. He can also brush off lesser punches and kicks without hassle.

Enhanced Speed:
Whilst in his Hollow form, Senroku possesses the ability too move faster than his usual rate, which is a feat in itself.

Enhanced Strength:
Whilst in his Hollow form, Senroku is granted a fair boost in strength, and is capable of tossing heavy objects and even other beings around with a single hand.

When Senroku's Hollow form surfaces, it is known that the Kusanagi will revert too it's sealed form, however sparks of electricity fly out from around it, signifying it still maintains its elemental abilities despite it being sealed. This allows Senroku too shoot out jets of electricity from the blade whilst in his Hollow form.
