Soi Fon Captain Of Squad Two

Name:: Shaolin Fon(Known as Soi Fon)

:Gender:: Female

:Race:: Shinigami

:Age:: Unkown.Appears to be around her mid 20s

:Physical Description::A relatively short and petite woman with tanned-skin and black hair. Underneath her standard Shinigami captain's uniform, Soifon wears the uniform of the Commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukido, which has no sleeves or covering for the back. Her hair is worn short with two long braids covered in cloth. Prior to Yoruichi's defection, Soifon's hair was shoulder-length and had a softer look to it (perhaps relating to her change in personality). Instead of wearing the standard Shinigami sandals with tabi, she wears traditional Chinese shoes with ordinary white socks.

:Personality:: Soifon is staunchly loyal, firm, and unbending in her beliefs. She is a hard worker and takes a strong moral stance — she particularly believes in following orders. She is generally reserved and truly not arrogant in any manner like her lieutenant. She will not hesitate in the slightest to strike down even her subordinates if they stand in her way. She chooses to ignore all her subordinates, including her lieutenant Omaeda, believing that personal struggle builds character.Soifon, like most female Shinigami, is a member of the Shinigami Women's Association, and appears to be the only one of captain rank within the organization (assuming Retsu Unohana is not a member).
Soifon likes fish, but dislikes meat.She often spends her free time dreaming about the days when she and Yoruichi fought together and practiced Shunpo.In a Valentine's Day omake, she even tried to give her a heart shaped box of chocolates with little success and she seems to love anything that resembles a black cat, which is Yoruichi's alternate form, and she has a large collection of black cat shaped merchandise. It is also known that since Yoruichi's reappearance, she began to collect cat accessories and had the 2nd Division quarters installed with floor-heating (the expenses were covered by her lieutenant).Soifon once seems to be affectionately admiring pictures of Yoruichi. Later, as part of the photo collecting project of the Shinigami Woman's Association she attempts to take nude photos of Yoruichi while she is distracted but fails miserably.During a meeting of the Shinigami Women's Association she requested to have a cellphone in the shape of a black cat's head with a bee body (the cat representing Yoruichi and the bee representing herself) that would allow her to talk to Yoruichi as much as she wants,and in another meeting when discussing ideas for a Shinigami video game Soifon requested a game with her and Yoruichi as the protagonists, both requests were denied however. Soifon's name means broken (or rather, to break) bee and the name of her zanpakuto, Suzumebachi, means hornet.
Soifon is a person of incredible resolve not hesitating to do whatever it takes to complete a mission and defeat her enemy; an example of this can be seen during her battle with the Segunda espada, after being exposed to an attack she orders her vice-captain to remove her arm without hesitation. Very rarely will Soifon show signs of desperation or emotion on the battlefield except when it concerns her former master. Despite her cold demeanor and constant attack towards her vice-captain, she has displayed a certain level of faith in him(trusting him to act as a distraction while she carries out a plan).

:Background Information::Soifon was born Shaolin Fon into the Fon house, one of the lower noble houses affiliated with the Shihoin noble house. The Fon house traditionally serves the Shihoin house by joining the Onmitsukido. Any member who does not pass the test to get into the Onmitsukido is immediately exiled from the family. Because of this, Shaolin has felt a lot of pressure to succeed since her youth. Though Shaolin and her five older brothers all got into the Onmitsukido, her first two brothers died on their first missions, her next two brothers died on their second missions, and her last brother died on his sixth mission. Upon her joining the Onmitsukido, she adopted her great-grandmother's codename: Soifon.

Soifon worked hard and was eventually promoted to become the head of the guard for the leader of the Onmitsukido at the time, Yoruichi Shihoin. Yoruichi took the young Soifon under her wing as her protégé, and they developed a close relationship.110 years ago, Soifon, in her capacity as a head of the guard, was highly protective of Yoruichi and her honor. She had a short temper when it came to Kisuke Urahara, she saw his carefree attitude as him being lazy and bad at his job.She is proven wrong when she finds that his carefree style attributed to the way he did his job in his position as head of the detention unit.
When Yoruichi eventually left Soul Society to help her exiled friend Kisuke Urahara, she abandoned all of her titles. Soifon felt betrayed by Yoruichi's abandonment and the circumstances surrounding them. As a result, she trained herself in order to surpass Yoruichi and take the titles she abandoned. She ultimately unified the Onmitsukido as well as the Punishment Force after Yoruichi disappeared.

Soul Society Arc
After Ichigo Kurosaki rescued Rukia Kuchiki from being executed, and seeing that some of the captains also openly protest the execution, while the lieutenants (including her own, Omaeda) are unable to stop Ichigo,Soifon ends up disarming Sentaro Kotsubaki and Kiyone Kotetsu, and is about to finish her off as a traitor, when Yoruichi grabs her and drags her away with a Flash Step. After crashing into the forest below the hill,she is presented with the chance of battling Yoruichi 100 years after the latter abandoned her.There, she proved to be Yoruichi's equal in unarmed combat, and used her Shikai in order to tip the scales in her favor. As this plan did not work out, due to her opponent's strong survival skills allowing her to avoid the instant death,Soifon declared that she would win with the new technique she had created, known as Shunko. Much to her dismay, she realized that Yoruichi had discovered this ability before her, and that even she had yet to master it, but was able to defeat her with a single attack from it.
The pair reconciled their differences, placing Soifon back where she belonged; at the side of her ex-commander.After being notified about the treason of Sosuke Aizen and two other captains, the two women briefly captured Aizen, being the first Shinigami to arrive at Sokyoku hill, where Aizen has just obtained the Hogyoku. Yoruichi blocks his Zanpakuto, while Soifon herself holds hers to Aizen's neck, threatening to kill him if he moves.However before they are able to detain Aizen, Yoruichi suddenly calls for Soifon to move as Aizen, Gin and Tosen is rescued by Negación fields created by an army of Gillian who break into Soul Society to rescue their leaders.

Fake Karakura arc
Soifon along with her lieutenant and the rest of the of the Gotei 13 Captains not currently in Hueco Mundo are seen waiting for Aizen's arrival.When Omaeda states that he thought Yumichika Ayasegawa, Ikkaku Madarame, Izuru Kira and Shuhei Hisagi where not going to be there (they are charged with protecting the four pillars), she states that she had told him, although later, she thinks to herself that she might have forgotten to tell him.
After the pillars that keep the real Karakura Town in Soul Society are successfully defended and four of Barragan Luisenbarn's Fracción are killed, she begins battle with one of Barragan's remaining Fracción, Ggio Vega.Binding the Arrancar down with a Kido, she releases Suzumebachi confident in victory.The Fracción manages to escape and releases his Zanpakuto, and seemingly defeats her when her lieutenant, Marechiyo Omaeda, attempted to intervene. When Omaeda grabs him to give his captain a shot, Ggio prepares to kill him with a Cero. Soifon easily repels Vega before he can harm her lieutenant,claiming that she wanted to test the Arrancar's abilities. She then finishes him off by using Suzumebachi on him. Although it appears as if she struck two different areas (the front and back), in reality she used Suzumebachi's ability on his right lung, and killed him. Strangely enough, Soifon did not seem too happy about killing Vega.
After the fight with Ggio is finished, his master Barragan finally rises from his throne, ready to engage Soifon and Omaeda in battle.As her battle with Barragan continues, she is seen having a difficulty in fighting him, and yet she is fighting with her full strength, with Barragan saying "This is ridiculous... You can't even budge me.".Disappointed after knowing that the enemies he's fighting were at full strength, Barragan draws out his Zanpakuto from his throne to end the battle.
Despite Soifon's proficiency at Flash Step and hand-to-hand combat, Barragan's power as the Second Espada to momentarily age targets dulls her might enough for Barragan to brush off her attacks. Soifon then learns from Barragan the aspects of death that each Espada represent, Barragan himself representing Old Age, or Time, which explains his power of slowing/accelerating time itself. He then uses Sonído to appear by her side and lays his hand on her shoulder, provoking her to leap away only to realize he's aged the bones of her arm so much they have broken. Eventually, Barragan decides to unleash his true form.

Soifon discovers just how terrifying Barragan's power really is as the building he stood on aged and rusted into nothingness. The Espada then unleashes his horrifying Respira, which inflicts her even as she is running away, her arm quickly rotting away to the bone. In a panic of dying, she demands Omaeda to cut her arm off to stop the affliction from spreading further. She is then taunted by Barragan who finds it comical that a Shinigami (a god of death) is afraid of death.As Omaeda is still at a shock at how powerful Barragan is, Soifon suddenly gets his attention by telling him that she will need him to act as decoy as she has a plan. Being the coward as he is, he tells Soifon that it's impossible as he is too powerful. Soifon reminds him to cut off any limb that is turned to bone and remain alive until her plan is executed, she then uses Shunpo to get away leaving Omaeda to run from a quickly pursuing Barragan.As the pursuit continues,Omaeda dodges yet another Respira, albeit a slow one, and starts to scream. Soifon hears this and she activates her Bankai after coiling a building with cloth.
Just as Barragan seems to be closing in on Omaeda to finish him off with his technique "Gran Caida", Barragan notices the surge of energy from Soifon's Bankai being released and turns around to face her. Soifon emerges and explains her reluctance to use her Bankai, Jahkuho Raikoben, due to it being too large and too heavy to function as an assassin's weapon. She then states that Jahkuho Raikoben's attack is "too flashy for assassination"but nevertheless fires a projectile attack at Barragan resulting in a huge explosion. The explosion is powerful enough to not only push Soifon back, but also her lieutenant. Soifon's sash rips apart, but she's caught by Omaeda.Barragan's fate is unknown.

----Profession Info----

:Current Ranking::
Captain

:Kido Knowledge List[Limit is 10]::


:Zanpakuto Appearance[Shikai and Bankai]::
Shikai Form:

Spoiler:

Bankai Form:

Spoiler:

:Zanpakuto Info:: Suzumebachi (Hornet): In its sealed form, it resembles a wakizashi with a yellow hilt reminiscent of a Chinese dao. It is kept sheathed horizontally behind Soifon's lower back hanging by a rope.

:Zanpakuto Shikai Abilities and Powers:

1. "Sting all Enemies to Death!"
Description:Grasping onto Suzumebachi with her right hand, the entire sword will glow white and shrink in size. When the emitting glow dies off, it is revealed that Suzumebachi has now taken on the form of an accessory. Covering Soifon's right wrist is a gold gauntlet with a small chain linking to a large, thick "stinger" on Soifon's middle finger. The cone-like shaped "stinger" extends at a length about twice as far as the normal extension of the finger, allowing Soifon’s striking distance to increase slightly. Ornately decorated in gold and black, the Shikai is fitting of its name, as the pattern and shapes resemble that of a hornet.In this form, Suzumebachi is still capable of holding its own against a opponents sword attacks, blocking with the "stinger" as well as striking and even blocking incoming attacks with the gauntlet portion.

Soifon explaining the mechanics behind Ggio Vega's death.
Shikai Special Ability: Totally integrated into her natural abilities with Flash Steps, Suzumbachi’s abilities indeed prove deadly.

2. Nigeki Kessatsu (death in two steps)
Description:As its first step, Soifon stabs her enemy with Suzumbachi’s blade. Not only leaving a rather deep wound, the attack leaves a butterfly-shaped stamp on the user’s body. Spreading from the center of the wound, known as Homonka (hornet's crest), this stamp becomes the target of Soifon’s second attack. If struck in this same spot that was hit the first time, the person will inevitably die and thus illustrate "Death in Two Steps."The crests are maintained by Soifon's will and are impossible to remove unless she wills it; when Yoruichi was still running the Onmitsukido, Soifon could only maintain the crests for half an hour.The effect of the poisons reaction time takes slightly longer for those who have enhanced power.Soifon explains at one point that the mechanics behind the ability are not based on being hit on the same spot on the skin, but rather when Suzumebachi pierces the exact same spot internally from any side of the body. This shows that Suzumebachi's ability takes effect not through point of entry but rather point of actual surface contact.
Counter-Poison: Soifon explains in a filler that Suzumebachi's ability is caused by a type of venom it secretes, which acts as a handy counter-poison.

:Bankai Abilities and Powers:

1. Jakuho Raikoben (Hornet Thunder Whip)
Description:Its appearance is that of a protective armor that encases Soifon's entire right arm and comes all the way above her shoulder to form a face shield that she uses to cover the right side of her face. The casing comes off and reveals a weapon with the similar make of a missile attached to a base. Before she activated her Bankai, Soifon wrapped a heavy metal sash (Ginjohan) around the building she stood on, presumably in preparation for the attack's massive recoil. She uses her Bankai so rarely that it has remained largely unseen by the members of Soul Society; even her own Lieutenant comments on having never seen it before. Soifon explains that she would prefer not to use her Bankai. She believes that it offends her pride as a Covert Ops agent, as "It's too large to hide, too heavy to move, and its attack is too flashy for assassination."

Bankai Special Ability: Being a ranged weapon of the artillery sort, Jakuho Raikoben has the ability to launch the missile attached to its base. After a successful hit, the missile creates a powerful and massive explosion. The burst of energy after the explosion is powerful enough to not only push Soifon and her lieutanant, but also rip the steel sash she was tied with. This might be because apparently, this attack drains huge amount of energy and leaves user exhausted.

Approved.
