(In progress. Tahoshi, feel free to input on Zanpakutoh. Cuz I am idealess xD')
Name: Yuudai Maki
Gender: Male
Personality: Yuudai is best described as a hard-ass, extremely militaristic, untrusting, and bad with people. He believes strength should be measured with the skill of your sword. He is serious 24/7, every threat or challenge passing from his lips one he's willing to uphold.
Appearance: Yuudai is a very imposing man. Standing at 6’5”, his tanned body is crisscrossed with scars of various sizes and depths. Among them, a large slash across his back and the missing pinkie finger on his left hand. His long black hair is rather unkempt, thin strands hanging in his face. His hazel eyes burn with a warrior's lust for battle and that expression doesn't often change. His voice is deep and gruff, easily enticing that feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach. Yuudai wears standard Shinigami garb with the addition of Samurai-style gloves and upper-arm armour.
History: Yuudai grew up in the Feudal Samurai period of Japan's history. The son of one of the Lords, he ended up receiving extensive Samurai training. The boy was a marvel. His strict adherence to the codes at such a young age simply amazed his superiors, and he showed plenty of promise in the areas of combat. He was called upon many times to defend his Shogun, once even before he had finished his training, as they were short on troops. This was the battle in which he recieved his first scar. The enemy blade struck hard against his back. He managed to hastily and somewhat unsteadily block the next few attacks from his opponent, but was spared defeat when an archer caught the other man through the neck.
He went through many more battles, each one bringing new sights of carnage and destruction. Over the course of his life he incurred various wounds, and easily earned respect from his commerades. Then, when he was all of 30, his last battle, the last battle of many Samurai, came. He fought valiantly, sticking to the codes of the sword by which he had been raised, to his death. The sword-wielders ended up being no match for the musket-toting enemies, and Yuudai, like many others, was silenced by a bullet.
Many Hollows were borne from that battle, and many Shinigami needed to come to defeat them. The majority of the souls that didn't transform to Hollows were consumed by them before the Shinigami could arrive. Yuudai was one of the few that wasn't eaten. He was sent to Soul Society by a Shinigami long-since defeated and ended up in District 15 of Rukongai. Having survived the mass-Hollowspawn in the aftermath of that battle was probably what earned him a spot in the Academy.
Just like in life, Yuudai adhered strictly to every rule imposed upon him and quickly made it through the Academy. His rise to Captain of Squad 5 was rather uneventful untill a younger female Shinigami challenged him for his seat. It's easy to say that he quickly beat the Officer. But he saw potential in her and suggested to the Captain-Commander that she take the seat as Vice-Captain of his squad. The two don't necessarily get along the best, but they undoubtedly make a good team. Yuudai doesn't trust Juno and believes that there is some foul play going on despite the younger Shinigami's obvious distress over the situation.

Zanpakutoh Name: Mjolnir, Hammer of Thor
Zanpakutoh Description: This is a basic Katana in it's sealed form, although the guard is shaped like a warhammer, pointing towards the enemy.
Shikai Release Phrase: Show no Mercy, Mjolnir!
Shikai Description:This Zanpakutoh is the most Intimidating weapon in all of Soul Society. It is by far the largest on record so far, a hammer that is easily bigger than most people, yet Yuudai can swing it like a small plastic mallet.
Shikai Abilities: Being easy for Yuudai to swing, it often catches people unawares, and when it doesn't, the shock-wave created by its impact will. As soon as it touches solid matter, be it an enemy sword, the ground, or a persons head... the shockwave created sounds alot like thunder, only the volume and intensity is multiplied 10-fold. This has the ability to send waves of sound through a sword, turning it into a tuning fork. This may also shatter poorly made weapons, or those wielded by someone with low Reiatsu.
On swinging it through the air, Mjolnir can send a wave of energy that stuns, and knocks out those who cannot withstand it. It is a very arrogant weapon, and once lead to Yuudai's defeat, as the spirit of the weapon influenced his actions, and made him believe himself to be stronger than he is.
Release Phrase: "Thor! Lend me your might!"
Bankai Description: This is a classic summoning Bankai, similar to that used by Captain Komamura in the series. The massive, towering form of Thor, wielding Mjolnir appears behind Yuudai, and mimics his actions, on a much greater scale. Every swing and impact made by this monster of a Bankai can shatter any material that it makes contact with, because it senses the shatter frequency of the material, and amplifies it.
