personality:
Zaraki Kenpachi is a brute. A simple straight forward personality that revolves around his one true passion. Combat.
He is rough in nature and in personality, short tempered, profane with a complete disregard for rules and authority. Gleefully aggressive, rude to others, he clearly gives no fucks and doesn't afraid of anything. He does as he wills and only follows General Commander Yamamoto because Yamamoto happens to be one of the strongest shinigami in existence.
Kenpachi recognises physical strength and that only. It is the only thing he recognises as having any worth. Anyone that defeats him of those that will push him to his limit is someone Kenpachi has great respect for. And someone he will ask for another fight. He has little time for weaklings and those who will not fight for themselves and no patience for arrogance. He can respect the weak if they have guts and determination.
Even though his is brutal and hard, Kenpachi will end a fight if his opposition is too weak or injured to continue. He feels no compulsion nor does he feel he owes any one or anything death if they're not strong enough. If they continue however, he will kill them, without hesitation.
As a Captain, Kenpachi none the less inspires a great deal of passionate loyalty from his Squad. Though his actions consist of lounging, drinking, fighting and that's it, it could be said he lives as an example for warriors. Whether he cares for his squad depends on how one defines care. Truly he believes they can handle themselves and if they get cut down its their own fault and if they gave their all, they fought well and should be celebrated.
Where his heart and passion lies is in combat. Zaraki is a fighter. He lives for cutting, pain and death, for the clash of two powers against each other and he is very good at it. Being so strong, fights against Kenpachi tend not to last long unless his opponent is of equal strength and being so strong they are few and far in between. So work around that and to keep good fights going on for much longer, Kenpachi does certain things to give his opponents a better chance against him, going so far as to use weaker one handed swings, wear bells in his hair and to even were an energy/reiatsu eating eye patch to cut his strength down to about half. This is a surprisingly important aspect of Kenpachi and in fact serves to define him. He loves to fight and will do anything to keep it going for as long is it can.
There is a deeper side to Kenpachi. A simple violent brute he may be, he is not cruel, but rather bluntly honest. He's not sinister, or evil, he is merely neutral. He's happy to follow along with the good guys so long as he gets a good fight out of it. He has little to no sense of direction and firmly believes that fun should come before work. He can also he highly contradictory, striving to become strong and yet going to great efforts to weaken himself to provide a better fight. Simple as he may be, is is capable of a surprising amount of complexity, being a creature of blood-thirst, lethargy and even wisdom and empathy.
He is a loner by nature, remembering little of his origins and even less of his younger years. He spent years without a name of any kind and and remembers well the pain of being alone and nameless. His only and closest companion and possibly the only one he'd fight for is Yachiru, a child he stumbled upon as a baby that he named after the only one he's admired or respected. Yachiru and Kenpachi have a father-daughter like relationship and he does show her a great deal of care. He then named himself for the District he comes from, Zaraki, and the title for the Strongest of shinigami, Kenpachi.
Simple as he may be, Kenpachi has a surprising amount of depth and make shim a rich and powerful character in more ways than one.
abilities/powers:
Unlike other Shinigami, Zaraki was never a student at the Shino Academy. He practices no Kido/Magic or shunpo and does not know the name of his zanpakito/soul cutter.
He more than makes up for this with brute force and unimaginable endurance and fast and powerful fighting ability making him one of the most powerful Shinigami in Soul Society.
Spiritual Power: All shinigami exhibit spiritual power called reiatsu. It's power and their control of it defines the strength of their abilities, the extent of their endurance and how much power they can put into attacks. Particularly powerful reiatsu, like Kenpachi's can be felt by ordinary humans/living souls and can have a terrible effect on the environment and those within range.
Zaraki Kenpachi's reiatsu is monstrous, powerful enough to even effect entire areas, distrupt energy based attacks and even effect others from a great distance. Fully released and pushed to the max, it can visualise like a brilliant yellow and horrific looking skull. The weakest or those with no power of any kind can feel crushed beneath Kenpachi's reiastu, feeling weak and lethargic if not literally crush to the floor under his power. The stronger they are the easier they can endure his power and the less of an effect he has.
So strong is his reiastu it gives him extraordinary damage resistance and endurance. Attacks coming from a weaker source of power won't even scratch him and in the case of contact based attacks, can even serve to damage the attacker. The strike must be backed by strength and skill to have any effect and even then, it could amount to little more than a scratch.
Should his opponent be strong enough to damage him, it would do nothing to hold him back. The amount of damage he can take is incredible and in a fight, does little to slow him down, weaken him or even tire him out. Sometimes Kenpachi will even let himself be cut or stabbed so he can strike back from a better angle and can continue fighting even after enduring impalement and multiple deep slashes.
Master Combatant: Well practised in combat, literally living his entire life in violence, Kenpachi has centuries of practise wielding a sword and is capable of switching from one kind of strike to another with ease in moments. He fights in a rough loose style, using only one hand unless he feels his enemy can beat him too easily. Each strike is strong enough to cut through whole buildings with the flick of his wrist.
He also exhibits some formal training, very reluctantly mind, but only when he feels it's absolutely necessary.
Unarmed he's no less dangerous; his brute strength and speed making him an enemy to be wary of. His resistance to damage means he's capable of stopping strikes with bladed weapons with his bare hand, his reiastu acting like an armour to back him up.
Speed and strength: Kenpachi's reiatsu also allows him to display terrifying speed and strength, his reiatsu reinforcing each movement with power. He's very capable of deflecting powerful attacks one handed and even striking and causing huge amounts of damage in the same manner.
And when it comes to speed, while he has no ability in regards to flashstep or shunpo, Kenpachi is still no lumbering beast. Capable of out running a bullet-train with no effort, on the battle field, he can move fast enough to traverse a huge amount of space in less than a moment and attack at the same speed.
Perception: Though he hates tactics, thinking or even common sense especially in battle, he's keenly observant and capable of great insight into a persons motivations, feelings, strengths and weaknesses. This allows him not only moments of wisdom, but also aids him in adapting to his attackers individual style with some ease and even a way of figuring out and exploiting his opponents weakness.
This insight gives him a keen intuition and even a large amount of understanding when it comes to others, noticing traits that others would normally miss.
In regards to weaknesses it could be easy to say that he has none. In fact, Kenpachi even goes so far as to wear bells in his hair and a reiatsu eating eye patch just to weaken himself, attacking with weaker one armed strikes rather than both hands.
But he can be beaten, he can be worn down and his full on reckless and mad nature can be used against him, if his opponent is strong enough and smart enough. As stated above, while he's very resilient and even holds back in battle, as with any giant; teamwork and combined effort should be able to bring him down. Not without a spectacular fight of course. Or you could just throw Ichigo at him.
Zanpakuto: While a physical object, a shinigami's zanpakuto is in fact a manifestation of their soul. They cannot be without one as it's a part of them and what they are. So whether Abax likes it or not, it's Kenpachi's sword is coming with him.
first person sample:
[The feed flicks on to show the... hang on... wait... what happened to the morgue? Whoever this is has smashed through several concrete walls in their first attempt to get out, turning on the feed with the last one. The dust settles and you hear a sigh.]
Che, what kind of sick shithole is this? It's pathetic, not even strong enough to keep me in one room.
[The phone get's turned around and a face comes into view, all be it up side down. Gaunt, angular and hard, dull green eyes glaring at the camera from behind a lanky mess of black hair. He makes a annoyed face at the screen.]
What the hell is this? Huh? Where's my eye-patch? And where the fuck am I?
[He pauses and studies the screen for a long moment. And then he smiles. It's mad and almost gleeful and all kinds of terrifying.]
Though, if you've brought me here, whoever you are, you must be strong. Just wait, I'll come find you. And then we'll find out how strong you really are!
[The camera swings away and there's a laugh as the feed show's the persons shadow. It's huge, hulking and muscular. A moment later, it ends.]
third person sample:
It was a fucking pain. Zaraki kept to himself usually, not out of any inclination to be alone or to not bother anyone, it just ended up that way. Sometimes he liked the quiet, when there was nothing but the air and maybe Yachiru if she wasn't playing with some of of their subordinates. Or messing around with that noble Kuchiki and his ridiculous house.
Here though, in this dark city, he kept away because there was no one else. Sure there was Ichigo and his freaky white friend, sure there was that snooty Kuchiki and his adopted sister, most of them at least strong enough to provide a decent fight, but there was no point without zanpakuto. Fights not worth it unless you could cut someone and get cut in return. Such a fucking pain.
Sitting in the park, back against a tree that creaked whenever he shifted, it's leaves rustling against his reiatsu, Kenpachi turned his mind to the 11th Squads barracks. His division, loud, rowdy and a thoroughly insane mess of thugs, punks and quiet and vicious fighters. He missed them, strange as it was to admit. Their noise, their training, Maderame swearing black and blue as he urged them on. He supposed it could be called home because what the hell else would be?
Here? Silence prevailed and Kenpachi as fond as he could be of quiet, was starting to hate it. It was almost like he was back at the beginning, a mindless, nameless beast with nothing but a sharp sword and a lust for blood.
He snorted sharply, jerking and a few leaves fell, some settling on his vast shoulders. Fuck that. He left that behind, he had a name and more. "Bastard." He muttered, shifting and then rising, looking upwards at the blank sky.
"Don't get too full of yourself, just cos I haven't found you yet. I will and I'll cut you to pieces." Silence dispelled, at least enough to his liking, Kenpachi turned and started through the dim woods. He wondered maybe if that Gandalf guy would like a fight at last.
