Background Information:
Born into the noble and dutiful Fujimoto family, a family whose loyalty and will to defend the Soul Society goes beyond compare. Known also for most of the family’s patriarchal leaders to have taken the mantel of Captain, thus being one of the longest serving families to be in the Gotei 13. Since the moment of his birth, Raion would be destined to follow the family’s traditions and follow his father’s footsteps, as did his ancestors before him. Being a single child as well would only cause his family to press that very tradition even more. Since the moment he could walk and speak, Raion’s family would begin to train him. At first, he would be taught simple teachings, such as reading and writing, but once it was time, he would also be taught the ways of swords, beginning with a simple blade, and later on various other weapons. He would train for years, until he would get a good grasp at using weapons and showing hardly to no hesitation when encountering an armed opponent. By the time he would be ready to attend the Shinigami Academy, Raion would have already mastered a variety of weapons and learned to use any combination of weapons with ease, as well learned simple martial arts and fighting skills. His family’s teaching and training may not have helped Raion with other combat methods such as Kido but this wouldn’t stop the young soul from learning and growing.

During his time in the Academy,  Raion would be seen as the kind, and studious student, showing not only a sense of being a steadfast learner, but also being kind to all those he meet, regardless of circumstance. For most of his time, he would study and do his best to persevere in any subject, usually succeeding with ease. Naturally, due to being trained for most of his young life, Raion wouldn’t be as open as most people, and would only show that constant need to be occupying his time studying. He would persist to be alone studying despite having a kind demeanor until he would encounter kind souls such as Terry Yamamura, Jiang Fang and Ju Fang. Due to encountering such kind individuals, as well as others in his life, Raion would slowly proceed to flourish, gaining a greater sense of confidence that would push him not only through the Academy, but life. He would gain a new side that would not only further his growth as a student or warrior, but as a being. By the time Raion would finish his training and studies at the Shinigami Academy, he would have not only mastered shikai, but also bankai and have gained an immense amount spiritual pressure in his control, showing a sense of great growth and promise. This would immediately bring the attention of a few of the previous Gotei Captains, each one giving personal recommendations for him to be a Captain right off the spot. And without a second too soon, Raion would be placed at the rank of 9th Captain.

For many, Raion would be considered a prodigy Captain, for others a unwise candidate. Due to being placed as Captain so suddenly right after graduating the Academy, Raion would at first gain mixed feelings from a various amount of individuals, some being seated officers to lieutenants and even a small handful of Captains. However, as time would pass, and as he would continue to gain mixed criticism, Raion would only proceed forward in life, showing his worth. He would lead his division with a clear mind and just intent, remaining positive and showing that very confidence that he was at first given at the Academy to all those he encountered. Despite his age and youthfulness, as well as his optimistic views, Raion would also prove himself to be mature, high moralled, and respectful. Every shinigami in his division he would consider an equal. Not in power, but in sense of being. To give respect and to be given respect back. The more he gave, the more he was given. As time continued, Raion would eventually become well-respected and to some, loved. His journey as Captain would at first begin with question, but later would turn into one filled with promise.

The title of ‘Sword God’ wouldn’t be given to the youthful, optimistic Captain until later on in his Captain career. Many years after the very battle that earned Jiang Fang, the title, ‘Burning Fist of the East’, the Soul Society would experience yet another threat. The threat would be of an Arranger incursion beginning, one that could turn to be too sudden to be prepared for. Under orders, Raion, along with a handful of Captains would enter Las Noches once more, in search of the source of the incursion. The search would last for days on end, various trips being made in order to ensure that all Captains were safe, as well as to keep information being clearly relayed. Upon the 5th day, the source of the incursion, the Primera Espada at the time, known only as Cerberus, would be found in the desert, with his army, which consisted of over a thousand hollows and arrancars. At the identification of the source, Raion would make the selfless choice to hold the army back until the Gotei 13 was ready for the invasion.

One would assume this battle would be the reason for his name but it would merely be the prologue. He would hold the army back for a full day, only to retreat once a Senkaimon to his realm was made. Immediately retreating, he would be offered a quick interlude, resting for a short, brief moment, knowing that the Soul Society was prepared for a full on assault. And yet, even when still fatigued and the Gotei 13 was prepared for facing an army, the young Captain himself would still stand, and to everyone’s surprise, chose to face the army on his own. As if to prove his worthiness and power, he would choose to face the invading army upon far wastelands and outskirts the Seireitei. At his request, The Captain Commander would offer Raion this opportunity, choosing to send him on the battlefield, while the remainder of Soul Society were on watch and defense. In this battle,  Raion would call on his Bankai for the first time as a Captain,  for all to see. At his call, more than a thousand blades would both appear on the wastelands and would come from a tare in the sky, revealing the true arsenal at Raion’s disposal. To those who would witness the mere sight of Raion’s Bankai as well as the incredible battle from afar,  all would deem him ‘unbeatable’. To further push this mere fact and inescapable sight of power, Raion himself would wipe more than 90% of the army on his own, causing the army to eventually retreat with no trouble. Upon the army falling, Cerberus would retreat in hate. 

It would be on this battle that Raion would be dubbed ‘Sword God’, due to his mighty Bankai and display of both weapon mastery and skill. And yet, even when given such a title, Raion would remain himself. He would still be jovial, understanding and open to all. And as time would go, nothing would appear to change him, if not one bit, hardly at all. Not even the most harshest and toughest of situations. Sticking to his ideals and beliefs, he would only look forward, with both confidence and strength.

Personality: Since his youth, he has been known to be very kind and gentle to all those he meet. Remaining positive and joyful, he usually counts all the pros in a situation before the cons. All this would result into a bubbly attitude and demeanor that gives him his youthful face, filled with energy. Sometimes, this very energy can make him not just bubbly but also the life of the party and even at times, the center of attention. Much like the sun, he will be both bright and lively. Even so, being youthful, energetic, and positive doesn’t hinder Raion. Rather, he can still remain focused at the task in hand and when the moods strikes, he will have no problem being serious. Despite his positive and strong demeanor, he is also known to be both stubborn and hard headed. When Raion’s mind is made up, in some scenarios, he will have the tendency to stick with that choice till the very end, being hard to persuade. Also has the slight tendency to be random, causing him to be quite eccentric. Prefers to compare himself to a question mark. 

Professional Information:
Alliance: Seireitei
Previous Occupation: Academy
Team: Division 9
Partner: ???
Base of Operations: Seireitei

Zanpaku-to:
Name: Senjin
Spirit: Tan skinned youthful blacksmith
Type: Melee-based
Appearance: Regular Katana
Carried On: Left Hip
Sheath: Black
Tsuba: Grayish silver, Elongated hexagon shape

Shikai command: Rain down and cut
Shikai appearance: Soon after being released, his zanpaku-to vanishes and ten different weapons appearing behind his back, levitating in midair. His ten weapons are known as the Ten Kings and they are: Dagger, Axe, Spear, Lance, Sword (Katana), Greatsword, Longsword, Mace, Halberd, and Scythe.
Shikai special abilities: No real ability can be identified other than how all ten weapons seem to levitate and defend Raion from any form of attack. Besides being able to instantly appear in Raion’s hands whenever each weapon is called by name, each weapon moves to his mind’s will.
Bankai’s name: Ō no chisei museigen (Unlimited Reign of Kings)
Bankai’s Appearance: Upon being released, Raion’s zanpakuto would disappear and the clouds around his environment would seem to darken, his body lightly glowing gold at the same time. Soon after, two strange bracelets and two anklets would appear on his wrists and ankles, one on each one. Once the bracelets and anklets would appear, his body would cease to glow. In that moment, Raion’s true power would finally be activated. After being activated, his power would cause a tare in the air to form behind him and from it, thousands upon thousands of numerous weapons of every kind would appear to come out, as if ready to be shot out. While that happened, various other weapons would come out from the ground around him, appearing and materializing out of thin air, some sprouting in the way flowers would from the ground as well.

What makes this Bankai deadly among the other Captain’s is Raion’s overall control over all the blades in his arsenal and their movement. If he ever is to will it, Raion can cause all the blades that are in the tare to be shot out as if projectiles, including the weapons that are around his surroundings. For each weapon he shoots out and attacks with, even if destroyed, two more will take its place. In this state, all his weaponry and skills are at his command, each blade able to levitate and appear whenever he calls a weapon by its name, as if in shikai and like any zanpaku-to, each blade that Raion has summoned can only be wielded by him. Any who is try to wield even a single blade will be unable to grasp or move it for it will only seem incredibly heavy and immovable. As for Raion, each blade is as light as a feather.

Although seeming to be the perfect and completely almighty, this Bankai also is a severe weakness. The one thing that allows each blade to move and appear to Raion’s will is the bracelets and anklets on him. If it were to be destroyed, his blades wouldn’t move or appear, becoming immovable as well to him. And even more, each weapon that is to appear and take form is all due to Raion’s spiritual pressure. Depending on how much spiritual pressure is to be placed, each weapon could be strong or fragile. Even the number of blades that is to appear could all change depending on Raion’s spiritual pressure. So much of a draining power that Bankai can only be used for a certain amount of time, and depending on Raion’s current state could be detrimental to his health and well-being.
