Name: Matsumori Sengoku
Gender: Male
Age: 678
Reiatsu Color: A dark, iridescent pine green
Reiatsu Aura: Indifference
Faction: Rukongai
Job: Tavern Owner/Borderlands Defender
Appearance: Sengoku is a scruffy looking, middle aged man unworthy of truly particular notice. At a first glance, everything about him seems plain, save for his tall stature. His hair is brown, medium length, and usually tied back into a loose ponytail. He has a well-trimmed beard circling his mouth and covering his chin. He has a pale, thin scar running down his left cheek. His eyes are a light green, giving way to a pale golden color as they near the pupil. His skin is tanned from long days patrolling the borderlands, and he has a few scars here and there. His body is trim and healthy, composed of powerful, lean muscle. His height is roughly six and a half feet. He typically wears brown hakama and a pale grey kosode covered by a dark green Haori. He usually carries an axe at his side.
Personality: �Surly�, �Abrasive�, and �prone to throwing things� are all different ways to describe Sengoku, and they are all very accurate. On the surface, Sengoku is a gruff, irritable individual with a love of battle. Having lived for several centuries, he has seen the damage done by hollows as they attack the Rukongai over and over again, and seeks to end the hollow threat once and for all. He has a deep seated distrust of shinigami, and strongly dislikes being around them. Despite this, he grudgingly accepts their presence in the Rukongai as a necessary evil�for now. Despite his nature, Sengoku cares deeply about the Rukongai and its citizens. He works to defend the borders, and wants to see the Rukongai become strong enough to take care of itself. Only time will tell if he ever achieves this goal, but nothing will stop him from trying.
History:
Sengoku is a third generation Rukongai resident, having been born in the Third district to the Matsumori family. Educated by his mother and grandparents, and trained by his father, Sengoku was well cared for, and protected from hollows and criminals by his father's strength and influence. He was never fond of shinigami, but following the slaughter in the Third district, which cost his family their lives, he became downright hostile towards them as a whole, and has begun to focus on uniting and strengthening the Rukon Districts so that they can become more independent of the Seireitei.

Faction Skill: Rukon Citizen Faction Skill - Can create a hell butterfly flare.
Free Skill: Tolerance - Life working spent working in a tavern has seen to it that Sengoku always has access to alcohol, and plenty of it. From imported Seireitei wines, to rough back yard swill breed out in the Rukongai, Sengoku has never had trouble finding things to get good and wasted with. However, this has left him with an elevated tolerance, making his body far more resistant to the effects of alcohol than normal individuals.

Personal Abilities
One: Pull - Using this ability, Sengoku can create a sort of "reiatsu tether" between two objects, or an object and a single point nearby, and draw the two together. Primarily, this ability is used to return his axes to his hands after throwing them. The ability is limited to a range of fifteen feet. The more reiatsu he has, the more weight* his is capable of pulling.This ability can only be used once per post.
*Weights affected by "Pull" are the combined weights of whatever the two tethers link. "Pull" is subject to physical resistance, making the listed weights below approximate values.
Tier 1 Reiatsu - 50 pounds
Tier 2 Reiatsu - 100 pounds
Tier 3 Reiatsu - 200 pounds
Tier 4 Reiatsu - 400 pounds

Soul Bind
Object: A steel hand axe passed down from his father, and his father before him, this weapon has slain a vast number of hollows in its lifetime. The handle has been broken and repaired numerous times, and the head has often times needed to be ground down into a smooth edge, or reforged completely. The current handle is made of steel, and is perfectly straight, extending a full foot and a half in length. The handle is wrapped in leather cord to provide a sure, comfortable grip. The axe's head, freshly reforged and sharpened shortly before the death of its former owner, is roughly eight inches in length, and made of polished steel. The head three inches in width at the point where it connects to the handle, and then widens out to six inches as it forms the blade. The blade is a curved, crescent moon shape with a point at each end.
Form One: In its first form, the axe merely splits into two individual weapons that Sengoku can wield simultaneously. The axes are identical to the original form.
Form Two: In their second form, the two axes become linked by a chain approximately five feet in length, allowing him to throw and swing his axes for a wider range of attack, and also bind an opponent's weapons with the chain. The axes' appearances do not change from their first form.
Form Three: In their third form, the axes double in size, becoming full blown battle axes with intricate carvings on their heads and a wicked, narrow spike sprouting opposite to each one. Aside from that, the axes' blades retain the same shape they have throughout their entire transformation. The leather wrappings no longer extend the full length of the handle, but instead terminate half way up from the base of the axes' shaft. From there on the handle is bare steel. They are still connected by the chain, which has lengthened to ten feet to accommodate the new size of the weapons.
