Name: Sethranas Ravenhall
Nicknames / Alias: Seth, Sethran, Mr. Mysterious (jokingly called so by some of the members of the Kido Corps)
Gender: Male
Age: 400
Race: Shinigami
Birth date: December 19th
Birthplace: Rukongai, district 64
Alignment: Chaotic good
Occupation: Shinigami
Appearance: Sethranas has the appearance of an old, haggard man. His face is adorned with a rugged Moutee, his facial hair and the hairs on his head being a light
gray, but not quite silver. His hair is long, and flows out behind him, despite his age. But his hair is an offset to the rest of his face. His eyes are haunted, and
shallow, and he seems to have seen too much for his age, even at 400. His dark countenance is often belied by his friendly manner, and those haunted eyes can shine
with the mirth of the happyest of young men.
Attire: Aside from the regulation attire of Shinigami, Sethranas prefers a more natural look, wearing full leather garment whenever possible, accompanied by a leather
cloak. From his fingerless gloves to his chestpiece, all the way down to his boots and breeches, he wears simple brown leather. Perhaps the only truly ornate things on
him are his pauldrons, made of metal and covered with strange drawings. Yet, all this simple clothing merely belies the true strength of the man within, as Sethranas
consistently states. He prefers the natural look not only because it conveys an aura of wisdom, but also because it causes the foolish to underestimate him.
Personality: Sethranas is the perfect image of wise old man. He knows the ways of the world, knows the tricks men pull. He has vast knowledge, and plans ahead in ways
that would seem incredible. He sees the entire universe as a chess game, often referring in such terms as well. More often than not, as he performs the final attack
that finishes his enemy, he will quite simply state; "Check-mate.", leaving the enemy cursing his genius as they are struck by a Hado to the face from an unexpected
angle, or are trapped by a Bakudo as they are just about to strike a killing blow.
Weaknesses:
Sethranas is not the most skilled in melee combat. He has average skill in staff-combat, but otherwise, cannot use his staff effectively as a melee weapon.
Seth focuses mainly on Kido, meaning his attacks are often slow due to the incantations
He has a habit of pausing in segments of combat where the two oponnents are separate, planning out the next several attacks. This leaves openings for the more ruthless
of fighters to charge into him while he plans, forcing a quick reaction, and putting a slight chink in his well-laid plans.
Seth has a rather light form; he is easy to send flying with enough strength.
Seth is extremely untrusting of the rest of Soul Society, especially after the Vizard incident. This means he'll often refuse help from anyone, with the exceptions of
when there is absolutely no other way, or those that he aboslutely knows will not trick him.

Equipment / Inventory: Mahou-Buin, his shinigami outfit, his normal outfit, and his 'spellbook' holding lists of incantations and kido, as well as his own
experimentations in creating his own. The other standard items a Shinigami should have would also all be found on his person. He is a person who only believes in
taking what is needed.
Bio: Sethranas Ravenhall lived in Rukongai for as long as he could remember. He was not a noble, nor was he a hero. So it came as a surprise when he was chosen to join
the ranks of the Shinigami at Sereitei. During his training, he showed a profound aptitude for the complex spells known as Kido. So apt, in fact, that he was chosen
for the special task force known only as the Kido Corps. There he lived, and there he trained, for the next three hundred years, rising through the ranks. Ironically,
the dawn of his greatest dream was also one of the darkest hours of Sereitei: The Vizard incident. When the previous captain and Lieutenant vanished, a new one needed
to be chosen. Sethranas was the obvious choice, and by far the wisest. He showed the greatest aptitude for Kido, and the greatest amount of Wisdom. His thoughts were
focused eternally on the good of Sereitei, never on the individual. So it was that Sethranas Ravenhall become Captain on the Kido Corps, and so it was that the Kido
Corps all but vanished from public notice. Sethranas kept his face hidden from the world at large, valuing stealth and subtlety over all, especially with a newfound
distrust in the rest of Sereitei because of what had happened in the Vizard Incident. Though none knew his face, it did not mean he was not there. Seth's loyalties
always remained, first, and foremost, to head captain Yamamoto. Should he be needed, he would arrive, a shadow in the background, to do his duty and begone, never
drawing attention.
RP Sample: (Leave blank if not canon)
Squad: Kido Corps
Rank: Captain
Zanpakuto name:Mahou-buin. (quite simply 'Magic-Staff' in japanese) Bankai Name: Kashikoi Maho-Buin (Wise Magic-Staff)
Zanpakuto sheathed desciption: While in its sealed form, Mahou-Buin appears to be an ordinary walking staff, old, and worn with age. it stands the full height of
Sethranas, and is covered with carved pictures of Ravens and other creatures known for cunning and intelligence.
Zanpakuto spirit description: Maho-Buin's spirit is that of an Egyptian-looking creature. A humanoid, bipedal Raven, with the neck of a vulture, massive wings protrude
from its shoulders. Its whole form is covered in feathers, and it wears distinctly Egyptian clothing. It speaks in a rhaspy, wise voice, always seeming to have a plan
for everything, always seeming to be thinking ten moves ahead. It only grows to like those who can out-plan even him, which is why he has taken such a liking to Sethranas.
Shikai appearance: launched by the phrase, "Let them know the wealth of knowledge, Maho-Buin!" As well as a staff flourish, His Shikai appears to be a staff with the
sculpted image of a raven sitting perched on the top. A pair of ribbons hang from the staff, hanging down. The staff is still covered in markings, though the raven
appears to be entirely untouched.
Shikai abilities:
Mental Temporal Distortion - Mahou-Buin slows down the target's perception, making time seem to fly by for them. It can also be used in reverse, to make time seem to
move at a crawl.
Mirror Image - Seth seems to split into many, but only one is real. All of them appear to do the same thing from different angles, however, so it is hard to tell which
is real.
Temptation and Terror - The image of something the target either fears or desires appears before them to distract them.
Bankai description: Typically Maho-Buin's bankai, Kashikoi Maho-Buin is a large, Raven-winged scythe. The handle appears to be covered in feathers, and the blade
looks to be a sharpened beak. A pair of raven wings protrude from the head of the scythe, and a pair of black gemstone eyes sit in front of the wings, before the beak
-like blade.
Bankai abilities:
Shadow-dancer: Seth appers to randomly appear anywhere, and there are any number of him at a time, as if he is constantly using Mirror image and Shunpo together.
Mental Temporal Chaos - The oponnent's perception of time rapidly changes, going from agonizingly slow to amazingly fast in an attempt to drive the target insane.
Worst Fears and Greatest Desires - an enhanced version of Temptation and Terror, the fears and desires delve from deeper into the target's mind, making them harder to
resist.
The voice of Wisdom - Sethranas' voice continually whispers in the target's mind, attempting to dissuade them from continuing to fight, trying to tell them to give up,
and just lie still, that it would be easier and faster to do such.
