Just thought of an even awesome-er Soul Slayer for myself that better suits me.

Name: Tenshimaru (tenshi = angel, "maru" just b/c every other japanese name ends in maru [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img])

Regular - Katana. Completely white, no crossgaurd.

Revamped command: "Show the world your shining spirit"

Shikai - Tenshimaru grows slightly longer and thinner, straightening out a bit, but is still curved up at the tip. It resembles the katanas they use on Escaflowne, only the newly formed crossguard that appears resembles a pair of wings stretching out about 4 inches on either side. A radiant, shimmering white light comes from the base of the blade, making it seem as if the whole sword is glowing (avert thine eyes!). When I swing the sword, I can activate its ability to fire projectile white cutter-beam thingies through the air (like the Izuna in Kenshin, or the Feirce Deitie's mask in Majora's Mask - basically small disc shapped energy blasts with a high explosive power).

Bankai - "Tenchimaru no Tenchu"; All the cool stuff happens with the usual Bankai release, like a lot of rieatsu is released and I scream for a bit and whatnot. The light emmited by the sword becomes so bright it's almost blinding. Tenshimaru's wings grow considerably, unfolding into pure white wings and spanning at least 10 or 15 feet (but doesn't get any heavier). There is also a flurry of feathers surrounding my immediate area after the transformation. The blade has all but dissipated into pure light and spirit energy that radiates from where the metal used to be. Tenshimaru's spirit is released as a warrior angel that fights for/alongside me. He is slightly taller than me and wears an iron faceplate with a cross pattern on it. I suppose he'd be a melee fighter, but uses his fists to punch blasts of spiritual energy and light waves. As usual, the destructive power of his attacks is amazing, and even an action like the flap of his wings can cause huge, ripping winds. I can also still release the cutter-beam things when I swing - just because I don't want to remain useless.

There we go...much cooler.
