History:
Liadan had died around 958 years from this very day, at the age of 2 and 3 {23} having caught a sickness which of course they had no cure for, leaving the woman to die in her bed while in slumber. The times before her death are irrelevant so we shall not venture there...
When she awoke from her slumber, she no longer resided in her body, wandering the village in which she belonged to. For days Liadan wandered, trying to gain the attention of those who would still be classed as living, but it was no use, no matter how hard she tried, no one would answer her pleas.
On the seventh day of wandering, the woman began to talk to herself out of utter loneliness, some may even say she acted a little crazy but something happened that day, which allowed her to move forward in earnest. A man had found her, sitting on a porch, talking to herself in misery and approached her with a smile on his face, only to place a hand on her head. “Talking to yourself? Now that’s no way for an angel such as you to act. I’m sure a lot of people would love to talk to you, myself being one of them.” It was a shock indeed, to be able to finally have someone to talk to… this man seemed to be dressed in dark garments, ones which she would later come to find out as a standard shinigami uniform. He would be different then any other shinigami… his kind soul shown above everyone else, yet instead of sending her to the soul society like his duty commanded him to, he sat in happiness and had a polite conversation with her.
They talked for a few hours, she told him about her life, as he shared with her his life as a shinigami. Of course Liadan would never remember her time as a human… once she entered the soul society, they would be no more. After words were shared there was but only two that he could give her. “Fukumitsu Tai” Liadan gave him her own name, and with it, a friendship was formed.
Tai had cleansed her scared spirit, simply by talking and easing her fears, and as she descended towards the soul society he merely replied. “We’ll have to talk again sometime.” And went back to his duties.
The two remained in contact as Liadan came to reside in the Soul Society as a soul. He’d always come to visit her whenever he could, and the two would talk, and grow closer with time.
5 years had passed since Liadan’s soul was sent to the Soul society, and here.. She felt happy, the happiest she could ever hope to be. Eventually learning that she had the ‘gift’ the ability to become a shinigami or ‘soul reaper’ which would allow her to cleanse the souls of others that were lost, and bring them here to a new life. She entered the academy and stayed there for about 6 years.
Throughout her time there, Liadan formed strong friendships with others who would someday rise to be captains, only to have stepped down, or died now… In her final year of being in the academy, Liadan came to meet a young lady by the name of Shatiel, who had joined the academy 2 months prior to the new year, and was put up into the advance class of year 6’s. The woman approached Shatiel in happiness once learning how she was a noble of the soul society, and people should treat her differently then everyone else, Liadan however treated Shatiel as a normal person, with no need of formalities. The Two had a lot in common, in both skill level and preferences and through out that final year, Liadan would come to forge a friendship for life.
Liadan graduated alongside the younger Shatiel, and were both placed in the same squad as Tai was; squad 8. Liadan was placed as 7th seat, while Shatiel was 9th. The two were extremely lucky to be placed in such high seats after their graduations. As it was, Tai was 4th seat, and already in line to step up to take on the reigns of 2nd. To prove that he was efficient enough to take on such a high role, he would form a team, venturing into the soul society on an official mission 540 years after the girls had joined the squad.
However, from when they first joined the squad to that faithful year in which Tai would prove himself, allowed Liadan and Tai to grow even more closer, and as a result, the pair became husband and wife. Although Liadan had told her beloved of her time as a living person, he did not tell her of it… nor would he unless she asked, but she never had.
The woman was incredibly kind amongst her squadron, and along with Shatiel the two were considered the flowers of squad 8. However the two had already found their loves. After being married on a grassy hill, which was covered in white wildflowers the woman felt as if she was the happiest soul to be… but little did she know her happy times could not last forever.
After extensive training Liadan had rose in the ranks to become 3rd seat on the eve of Tai’s commanding mission. She had finally gained her bankai, although it was not mastered just yet, she seemed to be efficient enough with it, to be allowed such a rank. By this time, Shatiel had left the ranks of squad 8 and ventured to that of 5th, leaving Liadan and Tai in 8.
It was the eve of Tai’s mission, and he had chosen 10 shinigami including Liadan to accompany him to the human world to serve out the purpose of hunting a hollow which had proven to be difficult for other squads to dispatch.
The team was split efficiently sent to scout East Karakura within range of communications. Liadan had gotten a strange feeling whilst there… like she was being watched. She had not bothered to inform Tai or the others, merely because this feeling did not allow her to feel any danger.
Hours had passed, and the time had just passed midnight, allowing the woman to smell the incoming rain. With it numerous hollows sore through the sky, lightning was struck as a single hollow appeared in front of the squad, its mouth opened as it sprayed some sort of dust into the air.
Liadan was at the back of the group, bringing in the tail, her mind focussed on this feeling, but then suddenly she felt a surge of reiatsu. Her eyes glanced upon the dust as it wafted over the group with the flow of the wind. It appeared to be a greyish green, microscopic pieces shimmering in the dust like glitter. The woman could only look at the dust from a distance as it surged down towards the 10 shinigami including her husband.
Moments passed and the dust was breathed in without warning, it would seem all the shinigami had seen was the hollow, not the dust. They had already advanced on the hollow, slicing it to bits. The remains faded away, with the dust already breathed in, they stood still. Liadan’s eyes looked up to the sky, spotting those flying hollows soar into a garganta, what was going on here? The woman slowly made her way towards Tai going to ask him about why he did not move away from that dust, but she got no answer from him.
The shinigami surrounding them dropped their zanpaktous, as they began to bleed, their skin beginning to go black, like they were beginning to rot. Slowly their bodies began to be eaten away right before her eyes, their cries reaching her ears as they dove at her for help. Liadan could not strike her comrades, no like this, not …ever. She called out to Tai for assistance, he turned to face her now, his body was grey, blood running from his eyes. He called out her name lightly, but the dust in which he had taken in was poisonous. A cackle came from him; the hollow had left its body… and taken on the form of dust, only to Invade Tai.
From that moment on, she was there in that place under false hope. That hollow, once entering his body, turned into small insects; it would be obvious then to deduct that the shimmering specks in the dust, were eggs. The bugs made their way through his body, entering his nervous system where his body was then, completely overrun by the bugs control. Tai surged towards her, in offense, only to have Liadan draw her blade and allow a battle to begin.
She was close to Tai’s power and skill, but it counted for naught. He overpowered her eventually and cornered her, his blade threatening to skewer her heart. The woman countered his attack, dodging it and dove to her feet, flash stepping behind him only to jump on his back. That was quite unfortunate, because at the time she jumped him, an officer of another squad saw her attacking him, spotting the shinigami lying in disembodied heaps. Tai cried out, and before she knew it, her blade had moved while she tried to hold him, piercing his body… killing him.
The woman collapsed to the ground in tears, what had she done to her husband? It was a cruel fate, to die at your loves hand. She was merely trying to subdue him but she had killed him in the process, how could anyone walk away from that unpunished?
That same shinigami had at the time snuck up behind her and held the fretful woman in place, weeping over what she had just done as he radioed in some back up.
After that she was taken to the soul society as a supposed madwoman, although she merely her heart out, others thinking that she has turned on her squad members and killed them. She was judged and locked away, to await her sentence over such a crime… yet when the head captain Calypso asked her if she was guilty or not, she said, that she should not be permitted to live after what she had done.
The woman sat in waiting as her execution day would draw near… Shatiel however had rose above her friend and became a captain. She along with a few other captains had not agreed, pleading their case to Central 46 in hopes that they would not terminate her. Her sentence was prolonged, but in the end, Shatiel knew what the sentence would be… So acting alone she snuck into the holding cell of where she resided and freed her… which would eventually lead Liadan on her path of melancholy.
Liadan told Shatiel of what had happened and her friend believed her without hesitation. Shatiel was a trusting woman, and loyal to her friends. The women held eachother in an embrace as Shatiel gave Liadan her blade, telling her to stay true to herself, and whenever she needed Shatiel, all she had to do was call to her. Liadan nodded but… she would never call for Shatiel.
Liadan left the world of the soul society forever that night… going into hiding in the human world, and even being reckless enough to venture into Hueco Mundo, anything to keep her from getting caught or found... was simply worth it.
In this time, Liadan used her knowledge on the soul society to survive encounters and avoid shinigami, her powers were able to be refined, as year after year she grew colder and colder. Her shinigami comrades, had not believed her, it was obvious of that because Shatiel had told her of her expected execution. What’s more is they wronged her name… of course Liadan had killed Tai, but not the others… it was just one big accident…. They said that she had attacked Tai in anger… madness… sullying his name in the process.
Eventually, With Liadan in hiding, she grew accustomed to being alone, allowing her sadness to grow, because she could never accept what she had done to her husband… it would always haunt her no matter what she did. The woman found her only comfort in that of her zanpuktou.
Over the many years that followed her, Liadan had mastered her bankai, and also grew as strong as a captain. She was however in reality a shinigami, so she cleansed hollows and sent souls to the soul society however, with it she also avoided contact of the other shinigami, and while avoiding them throughout these long years, she had merely been forgotten amongst them sei rei tei, though her records would all still be there.
Her sadness remained, and after letting it build up, that sadness slowly turned into hate… they had forgotten about Tai, about how good he was… about her story…. Had Shatiel forgotten about her also?
Liadan grew to hate Shatiel along with every other shinigami associated within the soul society. Her mind slowly becoming set on all shinigami being pretenders, So drawn up in power they could not see the truth…
With her hate growing Liadan became a messenger for lost souls, sending them to the soul society before most shinigami could come to reach her destination.. but in the odd occurrences that they did, the woman took care of them.
Word of mysterious killings of shinigami soon came to reach the soul societies ears and within that the new generation was completely at a loss as to who could be behind it.. Ruling it out as an Arrancar, but they were dead wrong. At this time Shatiel could only begin to consider Liadan as the person doing this… She didn’t like feeling such things let alone thinking of them, and thought it was time to seek out her vanish friend, in hopes that maybe Liadan knew of what was going on…
After 5 months of searching, Shatiel found Liadan, cleansing the soul of a little girl… Her old friend had lost that smile which both of the flowers of squad 8 once had… Only Shatiel seemed to hold it now. This pained Shatiel, to see her friend like this… her eyes were empty from all those years in hiding… thinking about the soul society.. and what she had done. Trying to approach Liadan in earnest Shatiel wanted to try and help her old friend, her best friend… but Liadan shunned away from her.
Liadan informed Shatiel that she was the one killing those shinigami… and with those words, Liadan told Shatiel that she hated her….
Shatiel grew hurt from those words, but still tried to help her friend, in results to that, Liadan fled…
2 years after that meeting, Liadan had finally lost herself, Tai was her life, and she had severed her ability to be happy after all those years of sadness, it was time to embrace those feelings and show the shinigami, that she was perhaps crazy after all. The woman attacked Shinigami after shinigami, killing them in cold blood, she wanted to die…. She wanted to be able to let go of all this sadness, and be forgiven… but she could never end her own life… she must have someone worthy enough to kill her.
Having gained the attention of the captains of soul society rather quickly, Liadan fought and killed both the captain of squad 6 and her former captain of 8, she went on a rampage, never hurting a human or harmless spirit though, only killing those shinigami, and any hollow who tries to attack her for her increased power.
After being able to take no more of such things Shatiel went to meet her friend once more, in acts of peace… Liadan snapped, and attacked Shatiel, and a fight which would live out through the ages would begin…
Both Liadan and Shatiel knew each others moves from all those hundreds of years ago, when they sparred and worked together happily. The fight was long, and harsh…and all through it Shatiel continued to try and calm her friends soul… she had cursed herself…. Put herself through so much suffering over a mere accident… she was tearing herself apart.
The fight lasted a whole day and night, and at dawn the following day, Shatiel made a decision. She could not stay with the soul society any longer… she had to be closer to Liadan… to try and help heal her… to save her tragic soul. Dropping her blade to the ground Shatiel stood still as Liadan struck her with her bankai, which of course Shatiel had never born witness to. It was something to be feared…
Piercing Shatiel’s stomach Liadan’s eyes seemed to recover some emotion, as her eyes were glazed over in tears… But still Shatiel was a shinigami… and shinigami’s were…
Ripping her bankai out from Shatiel. Liadan had mutilated Shatiel’s insides and left her to die that day, her face though had sustained a deep cut, running over her left eye and ending at her cheek. Liadan left any stray emotion there with Shatiel that day…. She just wanted to die… and it would seem that not even her friend Shatiel… could grant her that simple wish… Little did she know that Shatiel had survived that day, and was turned into a vizard by Shatiel’s former sweetheart… allowing her to live to die another day…
After that, Liadan saw no profit to stay in the human world, those shinigami couldn’t kill her… maybe the Arrancar could….
She had been observing Arrancar in hueco mundo, after finding one that may prove to be her undoing Liadan lead that Arrancar out into a fight in the human world. This Arrancar seemed to be very hostile, even deadly despite her appearance. No names were spoken, no words said, All Liadan wanted from this killer… was to die by one of her blades. They fought but this time, human lives got in the way, and Liadan was almost overcome by the womans ressureccion… but if it wasn’t for her bankai, she would have finally died there… Liadan had knocked the silver haired female out and staggered away before collapsing in an empty alley way, on the verge of exhaustion…
Perhaps if she laid there long enough, so much blood loss would kill her… but she didn’t want to die like that…. Although she could not move considering her battered body thanks to Yuki-Onne.
She had no choice, she’d die like that because she could not move…. But fate was cruel… se was saved by the strangest of shinigami…. Obuko Sora. This shinigami was as kind as Shatiel was… but not as proud and filled with the will to lead. Sora was and still is a peaceful shinigami of squad 4, helping others despite their race had left her being somewhat.. punished by the soul society, but still she did what she had always done, and healed those which needed it. Healing Liadan Sora took the lost shinigami in, finding her a quiet place in a nearby forest, to rest happily. Not once did Liadan reply to Sora’s words… she had no will to, she only knew that… no one… could kill her… and she was forced to live on in this horrible world, in pain.
Sora told no one of looking after Liadan, she wouldn’t dare to, this woman which she saved seemed o be lost… and forgotten… just accompanined by a sweet smile Sora continued to talk to Liadan… even if she would not reply, because the squad 4 shinigami considered Liadan…. A friend.
One day, Sora looked beated and haggered, after a long night of trying to ease the suffering of the Vizard queen.. Liadan never knew the Vizards had formed a hierachal system.. but then again, she was to caught up in her own sadness for the past hundreds of years to take notice of the changes which occurred around her. As Sora told Liadan the Vizard queens name Liadan froze where she was… Shatiel had survived her killing blow somehow!? A vizard had increased powers…. Which would mean… Shatiel would be stronger yes?
“I am leaving now” Were the only words Sora ever heard from Liadan, and with them spoken Liadan vanished to hunt down Shatiel, and fight…. This time, someone would die… and she hoped it would be her.
Liadan found Shatiel one summers night, sitting by a stream in a park… And once more Shatiel smiled at her dear old friend. Instead of fighting, Liadan stood near Shatiel and they talked… or rather Shatiel talked and Liadan listened. Shatiel had given birth to a child.. A child…….
The woman bit her bottom lip, immediately thinking back to Tai… and then, only anger came from her. She attacked Shatiel planning to give it her all and fight with Shaitel. The battle was not as long as the last time… but it was more intense, more hateful… Shatiel could never kill Liadan, no matter how little a choice Liadan gave her… Shatiel gave up once more, and took the blade but this time… to the heart. Falling to the ground Shatiel was fading.. for whatever reason she was still breathing and living… just enough to see the tears streaming down Liadan’s face… it blurred, only then to be replaced with a woman… who looked like Liadan… but had emerald green eyes…. It was Keihime. Shatiel died moments later… in Keihime’s arms, her hands gripped Keihime in pleading help… She had to save Liadan… had to protect her son…
Liadan left and wept… wept this time because she knew that Shatiel had died…. Happy, proud and honourable Shatiel…. Liadan was corrupt…. Broading in her own sadness that she had ruined the life of another in which she loved…. It was a hrad thing to accept…. And Liadan could not accept it… she actually thought that.. Shatiel would kill her this time.. and save her…. from this loneliness. This sadness, this suffering… but it didn’t happen. Liadan raised her blade right to her throat, ready to end it all… it was finally time…
Fate…. Could that even be the issue here? Was it just not her time to die? Liadan was just about to end her own life…. But then, out of nowhere her zanpaktou’s spirit appeared, gazing at the woman, it merely sighed. Its song low…. Causing her to relax at the wrong time. Appearing behind Liadan, it rose its mighty gauntleted fist and struck her head, knocking her out….
When Liadan awoke this time…. She was left with confusion… and had… no memory of what she had done….
~Appearance~
Picture(s):
Shirt colour: dark violet
Shorts colour: White
Hair: Her hair is quite long, reaching to her bottom. It hangs in soft waves, and is the colour of the darkest night. While black in colour her hair is shiny and neat.
Eye colour: Liadan’s eyes are that of an ever watchful grey, full of fathom and countless battles, they seem somewhat cold… and empty.
Distinctive marks: After her battle with Shatiel, Liadan sustained a long scar which runs vertically down her left eye and half way down her cheek.
~Persona~
Personality: Liadan is something of an enigma, she smiles only rarely and talks only when necessary, keeping her past inside her where it is safe, she is not afraid to speak her mind. She is a cryptic speaker at times, while is the situation proceeds itself she likes to talk in riddles; that seem to have no meaning unless you really think about it.
Likes: nights when the new moon is at its brightest, the peaceful days when she sits in high places by herself to reflect on present crimes and past actions and the freeness of the wind which blows against her and of course the choices she is free to choose unlike when she was a in the gotei thirteen and had to take orders.
Dislikes: : like any other girl she loath’s cocky people, Liadan is scared of confined spaces making her some what claustrophobic and deep down inside she yearns for friendship or companionship but she also fears letting people close because the past could repeat itself and inflict more damage on her and eventually ruining her.

Seat: formerly 3rd
~Zanpakuto~
Zanpakuto’s name: Ekishou kougake {liquid crystal gauntlet}
Zanpaktou Spirit: A female woman constructed out of crystal, and liquidated crystal properties, see picture in appearance for reference. Ekishou Kougake is a woman who knows and always follows her duty; to keep Liadan safe. She was the one who attacked Liadan in order to wipe her memory and give her a new chance at life. The warrior is stubborn and impulsive but treats Liadan like a sweet little sister.
Zanpakuto’s seal state appearance: A Katana which blade is tinted blue, and shimmers like stars. The sheath is black, hilt a dark blue
Shikai release words: Hirogaru, Ekishou Kougake {Spread out, Liquid crystal gauntlet}
Shikai appearance: Liadan’s Katana dissipates and she gains a blue gauntlet constructed out of crystals, it resembles something similar to a dragons talon, yet the scales are coarse and wild blue crystals stick out from it. The gauntlet runs up her arm right to her elbow, where it then stops, just above the elbow it starts once more (Allowing easy movement) the crystals like how Ekishou Kougake’s arm is in the picture. The gauntlet itself is made from crystals, infused with reishi she is able to manipulate the crystals with bodily movements; which are all based on her martial art knowledge.
Shikai abilities:
Insotsu Gyokuei {Commanding Transparent Gem}: This ability allows Liadan to make the crystals along her gauntlet branch out in spikes, she can then allow the spikes to shoot off one at a time, or remain bound to the gauntlet making attacking her difficult when she could go on the defensive. However the spikes re-enter the gauntlet after 7 consecutive blocks.
Hari Kakuheki {Crystal barrier wall}: Liadan must merely punch the ground in front of her, as the gauntlet swiftly pushes the crystal from her fist into the ground, as the crystal ricochets off of the earth and rocks beneath her changing their course and sugring from the ground in mere mili seconds allowing a wall around her size to form out of crystal, but since the crystal used an attack to make it through the ground, it only has one good block in it, before the wall shatters.
Bankai's name: Utsuru Ekishou Kougake {To harmonize with Liquid crystal gauntlet}
Bankai appearance: The liqudated Crystal continues to run along her, creeping along the right side of her neck, and for that matter the complete right side of her body, except for her face, the liquid stops and hardens into a thick sturdy and skin thick surface, allowing the entire right side of her body to be fortified with a sort of ‘crystal skin’ From this skin she can perform the Insotsu Gyokuei ability at will.
Bankai ability:
Yuurin houzou Joudama {deep forest containing fine jewels}: With these words said Liadan can allow the crystal gauntlet to move with her command. The crystals surge outward, and creep out in a swift display of duplication, spreading out like the thorns of a briar path with one punch she can use this to chase the enemy, or spread throughout the area, its thorns sticking into everything they come in contact with.
Yuuen Kurisutaru Shuku {Grand Crystal Armour}: This is one of two powerclad attacks Liadan was able to master from her bankai. Grand crystal armour allows her entire body to be encased in well, an armour of crystal; however in this the crystal was not completely reformed into its solid base. Allowing her easy movement while it flows along her skin, but when she attacks or defends her speed is slowed as the crystal hardens onto her body, The crystal armour can withstand hundreds of blows, but her joints will began to ache and be under the strain of the hard crystal against her skin. It is said that a complete bankai attack will be able to blow the crystal armour from her body.
~Skills~
Liadan has been alive for many many years in addition to this, the shinigami has taken up multiple martial arts throughout her time as a shinigami nd when she was in hiding to further develop her skills.
Koppojutsu: A form of ninjutsu, this is the art of bone breaking and joint locking, applied with her crystal abilities she can easily break the hardest of bones. A harsh art with extreme consequences to the victim.
Aikido: In addition to Koppojustu Liadan also knows Aikido, The art consists of "striking", "throwing," and "joint locking" techniques and is known for its fluidity and blending with an attacker, rather than meeting "force with force". Emphasis is upon joining with the rhythm and intent of the opponent in order to find the optimal position and timing with which to apply force.
