THE SHINIGAMI APPLICATION
Name: Tina AlmenorAge: 300
Gender: Female
Personality: Tina is a surprisingly gentle and caring person to women and men alike as well as children, animals and the elderly but has a battle spirit second to none as she'll fight at full strength against anyone and anything that challenges her even if they are women and children. she is highly intelligent almost to the point of seeming omniscient, though she obviously isn't, and thinks logically and rationally to the point of making life seem like a game of Chess. she finds absolute joy in the world around her and prefers nature and the wild animals of the world to that of actual humanoid company for the most part but doesn't necessarily shun being in the presence of other people in social gatherings. She is very sympathetic to others in trouble and can't help herself but to give them any aid she can even if it's not that much. she can also be seen as hypocritical however since she says things to others that would make them lead "good" lives but she herself generally doesn't follow hers own advice. She does try to follow the path of light but has shown on multiple occasions to give in to less than righteous desires and emotional thinking. She also always has a pack of joints on her anywhere she goes. Despite doing this herself she will always lecture others for smoking the substance, or anything else, and warn against doing it. At home, or at least whichever building she is squatting in at the time, she keeps a very organized and tidy area of living and never seems to lose anything she owns.

History: - Spoiler:
- In the early 1970's a female scientist by the name of Tima Ingrez was attending a conference of the minds in Europe. They were discussing how to use science for the betterment of humanity and most of the scientists present did indeed come up with brilliant ideas while Tima felt like something was missing. Something they had all ignored in their efforts to better the world with their knowledge..
What gave them the right to decide what happened and how the future was shaped?
So, having this epiphany, she stood straight up exclaiming, "No more! Balance must be preserved!" and stormed out of the conference never to be seen by human eyes again. At least human eyes that weren't hired helpers. She took all of her life savings, which was a substantial amount between her late husband's death money and her own income being mostly saved back for the last twenty five years, and hired group after group to construct an elaborate well hidden bunker of moderate size in the middle of the Nevada desert. She then hired smiths, and security devices, welders, engineers, mechanics, and anything else she needed over the next five years as she made the bunker into a fully operational machinery. She had inside the bunker a super computer that she purposely re-programmed herself to continue to upgrade itself, but a computer cannot upgrade physical parts on it's own so she built a small army of repair robots to fix the computer and themselves when it became necessary.
She would need vast amounts of data from across the world. Visual data and scanning data of individuals who's supernatural powers become a threat to the balance she was seeking to help with. To do this she created thousands upon thousands of flying insect robots which scattered to the four winds and began their endeavor to watch the world fight and grow and evolve in the future years to come. This process sapped away many years of her life as she had to make sure they were programmed well enough to keep from being easily destroyed or corrupted.
"How to make sure balance stays in the world.." She would mutter to herself night after night working and re-working the computer's code and formula for creating the perfect robot for her ideals. She spent fifteen more years in that bunker calculating and re-calculating every conceivable thing about the super computer, the repair robots, and the robot in which her ideals would be realized. One night she awake in a cold sweat from a nightmare vision she had had about the future. Whether or not it came to be accurate was never found out, but she came up with the perfect way to keep balance. Though it would be highly unfair to her creation.. She must make it to where the android always helps the losing side. She would only forma "contract" with those who needed help. Yes! That was it! A contractual system that was based on a neutral and unbiased range of logic and knowledge! Using this she could make sure that her creation would only help when it was needed and would only help whichever side has the obvious downside going for it. Good and evil had to co-exist because without one the other is a lie. She could not make a robot that was only evil or only good. She had to build a robot that would remain neutral and maintain a balance.
But how would she make a contract system that could not be interrupted or act too slow to be useful in a high danger situation? She thought, and thought, and spent years working out different methods before coming to the conclusion that the technology and scientific limitations of her time were simply not enough to finish the system. At the edge of despair she had a dream of her robot in action and it rekindled her efforts to finish her life long goal. The technology wasn't yet available but she was certain it would be before Altima was finished. As for the calculations needed for a "Time" bubble. One person could spend years trying to do it for one specific thing and still not come close to finishing.. but a computer processes faster than a human.. and a computer can work on a task for countless months until it finally solves the problem..
So she put all of her own mind into the data bank of the computer because she did not know any other way she was going to get the computer to be able to understand her calculations due to technological limitations of her era. Something that was unheard of in her time to begin with because it bordered on the suicidal and the deranged. However she managed to make it work after years of trying and for the first time in a long time.. she simply smiled in bed that night.
Fatigued both mentally and physically from her long tedious work. The years ticked away as she continued making sure everything that could ever be needed was set up for her precious machinery bunker and she eventually just faded with no more strength left to work with. The cleaning robot eventually doing it's job and scrapping her non-living body into the incinerator as "waste", but she knew the day would come and had prepared for it. She had set the super computer to continue her calculations with the information sent by the insectoids being taken into account every day it got updated. This was taken into account after a full year of documentation and factored into Altima's final design creation as the computer projected the increase of spirit power within individuals would continue to rise exponentially as time continued to pass and thus accounted for it automatically.
When the date for "Final Input" of data came as previously predicted the super computer decided no further data was necessary, and it began the process of creating the actual android body of Altima. Because it had taken so long to finalize the data tchnology, and therefore the bunker resident robots, had improved drastically while keeping the computer upgraded which kept the robots upgraded. Endless repeating cycle of improving. Making the actual creation process of the robot rather simple though the materials were certainly difficult to come by in the middle of the desert in total secrecy. It was managed and the full metal body of the robot was synthesized and coated with living metallic yet organic looking tissue as to appear and seem human unless badly damaged enough to reveal the truth. Six hours later this robot was finalized and all data from the super computer was uploaded into the robot's memory. The mission objective. Tima Ingrez' hope for the future. The reality of the androids new existence. All of it. Everything she was ever going to need, the totality of the power of human recording.
Two hours later. The bunker self-destructed. Everything inside was turned to dust and left a nice big hole in the nevada desert. The only thing that would have been seen from satelitte footage was a lone figure rising out of the ground and walking off towards a nearby town shortly after that. A kind looking smiling young adult of a woman strolled into the nearby town and began trying to obtain some cloths since she only had a blanket at the time. She was going to have a long and difficult road ahead of her, but she was ready for it. It had taken 40 years to finish making her and she was even now still maturing and updating her mind with the vast knowledge allowed to her.
She wandered the town, as her first objective was to discover who she was rather than what her objective was, since she knew that already, then she would initiate her task with being Balance Maintainer. Tima Ingrez realized her creation would have to have a sense of self or it would be too cold and cruel to work for the intended purpose. After spending a few hours here and there around the city Altima had a decent idea of what she liked, disliked, and wanted for herself, but she understood the importance of her mission and after grabbing a pair of glasses, which she had to hack an ATM to get the few bucks to get, she headed off towards the nearest airport. There was lots to do.
After some time passed and she had basically done her job, without any real involvement or intervening being directly required by Altima herself really, in pretty much the expected manners. This changed however as one day Altima ran into something that looked human, but didn't have a real body as she found no vitals upon scanning, didn't seem to obey gravity, and seemed to be moving with purpose rather than the "monsters" (Hollow) Altima had to occassional destroy, because most human people couldn't fight them, which usually just randomly appeared and randomly destroyed. Interested enough, Altima followed the shinigami, as she later came to know it as, and ended up getting the man to e irritated at her because he couldn't get her to stop following him and he couldn't figure out what she was since she wasn't a living human nor a hollow. Which freaked him out. After an introduction and a small chat, the Shinigami had basically did nothing beyond mention Soul Society, who he was, why she should work with them if she sees more, and to keep up the good job on killing "Hollow" (monsters) as she now knew them.
The shinigami eventually left back to Soul Society, but that didn't end her interest in the place in general. If it could tip the Balance she was intended to preserve then she needed to learn more about it and make sure it stayed where it needed to be rather than somehow tipping to evil. She wasn't even sure it could, but on the risk that anything can be corrupted she had decided to take action. Several months passed before she managed to find another shinigami, this time without being caught as many previous attempts had ended in such, and tailed him until he made some kind of weird japanese gate in the sky in order to walk through it and leave.
Before he could manage thus, Altima had tackled him through the gateway and both had entered before it shut. Not knowing or realizing that she needed a Jigokucho let alone what that was.. Altima was immediately ejected in the Dangai Precipice World, while the Shinigami landed in Soul Society exactly as he should have because he HAD one. He was confused at how he tripped in the AIR but otherwise the incident went unnoted.
Altima however was very confused, as she immediately began to process her surroundings and slightly panicked because she was immediately made aware that anything she touched that was NOT the floor, was going to imprison her without fail for the rest of eternity. Not wanting that to happen she refrained from touching ANYTHING and made her way down the only path she could find. This was fine at first, though she still barely understood where she was and why the shinigami was not here with her, but a second thing Altima was not aware of that was immediately becoming a problem, was the cleaner, The Kototsu, existed and if it touched her at all she would likely become atoms. She looked at it because it generates a large forward light, and her entire collective knowledge freaked out at once as it realized the implications of what was going on, causing her to flee as fast as she could in the opposite direction.
Luck happened to finally show itself to her though because shortly after this she found a passage and leaped through it hoping it meant escape from the giant train-like death thing she was running from.
Her body, technological in nature, immediately started to change because of where she now was. Her sensor's detected that everything around her was made of pure reishi, thus deducing that as long as she remained a physical body she would likely fall through and never land. Since this would likely be a bad idea.. Her body converted into one of pure reishi, almost identical to the "body of a Shinigami" which is what the intended form was supposed to mimic based on what little she knew of them.
Because of the change in her body, she did infact land on the ground as she should have normally. Unfortunately, this body was not her android body, and was made of weaker...parts. She landed but injured her left leg in the process. Perturbed but otherwise fine, she started walking towards the nearest settlement she thought she could see, being on the outskirts of Rukongai right now. Unfortunately she "was" injured and unlike her normal body which would repair itself via technology, it had no idea how to manipulate it's current energy form in the same manner, meaning she was going to have to get healed by someone else or wait it out like a regular person.
She was impatient to get back to her mission, but her injury was saying otherwise, luckily for her someone appeared in the distance soon after she realized her own injury. This person ended up being Mizuki de Grey, who, at initially believing this person was some kind of super charged spirit, thought she had stumbled upon a great find. Altima was immediately made aware of the fact that she had traveled several hundred years in the past, and eventually, after much debate and arguing with Mizuki that Altima didn't want to spill the beans, decided to make Mizuki swear so fervently a god could blush that she would never reveal what year Altima was made in compared to the current year, which was some 250ish years 'ago' compared to the current timeline. Over time and with Mizuki's help Altima was not only able to get into Soul Society, but even join it's ranks. The latter being Mizuki's idea since it matched with Altima's shared comments concerning her own primary objective. Albeit on a different scale as Soul Society maintained the balance of souls and Altima was made to help maintain the Balance of the Living. Slightly more involved than Altima's original design but still on the same goal.
Thus Altima took the name Tina Almenor and with Mizuki's vouching managed to get acceptance into the Shinigami Academy, where she excelled at literally everything they tossed at her because the only thing she needed that she didn't inherently have was the knowledge of how to use spirit energy. Once she acquired the capacity to do so the rest was simple. Though her material body had been lost, her mind still seemed to work the same way as before down to every detail. Once out of the academy at nearly record breaking speeds and scores Tina proceeded to get nominated, by Mizuki, for a vice-captain position for the 7th division, which would eventually lead to promotion to Captain of the 7th Division.
Thus in turn did Altima the Android built for maintaining the balance of the living world, become Captain-Commander Tina Almenor of the Military Might known as The Gotei 8 of Soul Society. The maintainer of the balance of the living's Souls. Allowing her to attempt to fulfill herself and her new job's positions at the same time.

PERSONAL ABILITIES
Ability Name: Enhanced PerceptionAbility Description: Her eyes are capable of seeing all spectrums.. light, color, energy, thermal, night vision, etc as well as detect which direction any certain amount is coming from. She is able to heighten her eyesight to be akin to that of an eagle and purposely dilate her eyes if necessary. She can also change their color though she generally keeps her red eye color as she likes it.
Ability Name: Power Legs
Ability Description: The user's legs are so powerful as to be akin to kicking with steel poles. Able to attack and block most things with just their feet and legs as if they were blades and shields. The user can make sharp, acute turns at any speed, even zero radius turns, not only changing direction on the ground, but in the air, while jumping, making sharp flying turns, leaping, etc. This is usually done by curving or zigzag movements. They can change direction to dodge obstacles and attacks while moving. They can fly clumsily by changing their direction to go up every time they start going down while moving forward or by changing direction in the air by changing direction upward to counteract gravity.
ZANPAKUTO
Sealed Appearance: standard looking Asauchi katanaZanpakutou Name: Nanomashin no Mure
Call Out Command: Mechanize
SHIKAI
Appearance: Abilities:
Ability Name: Nanobot Swarm
Description: The user is able to generate a large amount of Nanobots which flow like water when commanded to move. These nanobots can configure themselves into any shape the user can think of. Destroying a single nanobot is useless due to their sheer number and extremely tiny size, and destroying the swarm with a big AoE attack just forces the user to make another swarm of them, which they can do at will within 150 feet of themselves. The highest potential the attacks and defenses of this "Swarm" can reach is equal to a cero, but doing so limits the actions of the swarm to one per post. Otherwise the user just mentally commands the swarm to do whatever they want.
Ability Name: Electrobot
Description: The user commands their nanobots to surge their circuits creating a massive shock of electricity against anything they come into contact with on par with hadou 11. This lasts one post with a two post cooldown.
Ability Name: Overheat
Description: once per two posts the user is able to command their nanobot swarm to explode. The total damage the attack can do is limited to a bala, but there would be dozens or more possible explosions hitting intended target(s).
Ability Name: Conversion
Description: The user is able to turn incoming or residual reishi/reiatsu into nanobots. This ability gains a CD equal to the amount or power of the energy converted into nanobots plus one. The nanobots created in this fashion are no different than her normal nanobots.
BANKAI
New Name: Genshi Nanomashin no ArashiAppearance:
Abilities:
Ability Name: Nano Regen
Description: while in bankai the user is able to use their nanobot generating ability to make medical nanobots which replace, stitch up, foam over, and otherwise heal wounds the user has on a microscopic level. In essence the user has high-speed regeneration while in bankai.
Ability Name: Sensory Field Projection
Description: She can scatter nanobots that are linked directly to her own senses, these nanobots are specifically made so that they can detect anything that happens within their range and due to the sheer number of them they can cover a large area. Essentially letting the user know of any movement or attack made within the field in real time. It's obvious when and where each "camera" for this is, but she can just replace them as needed so attacking them one by one is not worth the effort.
Ability Name: Self-Alteration
Description: The user is able to convert their body, temporarily, into a mass of nanobots. In so doing they gain the same metal property of the nanobots throughout their entire body. Nothing emotionally or mentally changes in the user. While in this converted state, normal attacks are all but rendered moot since they can self-repair/replace any nanobots damaged by the attack(s) let alone just "move" out of the way of the attacks since their aren't one body but millions of nanobots. AoE attacks are more effective against this form. This lasts one posts with a three post cooldown.
Ability Name: Replicator
Description: The user creates a single copy of themselves that is completely indistinguishable from the original. In fact it is so perfect that it would even believe it is the original. The original always knows which one is real and has absolute authority over the fake at all times though. There can only be one replicator at a time, the replicator can only use abilities directly tied to nanobot abilities from shikai, and lasts three posts on a three post cooldown or until defeated. When dealt lethal damage the "Clone" falls into a puddle of goop which used to be nanobots. The cooldown doesn't begin until the clone is off the field.
