Personality: Few records remain of the Captain formally known as Wan Li Lin however it is said that its original tenure as the first Captain of the Second Division and the creator of Shunpo that it favored as little effort needed to complete a task and was exacting and meticulous in this mindset. Wan Li Lin brooked no argument from those beneath it in station and was known for wild and terrible punishments for any who disobeyed its orders.

Zanpakuto: Chinmoku
Spoiler: Zanpakuto
Show

Appearance: Chinmoku appears as a cane sword of unparalleled quality made of redwood.

Shiki: Hush, Chinmoku - Upon release the world grows silent and even things that would make a good deal of noise are muted as if underwater however the weapon itself remains unchanged. Afterimages move before and after Wan, making it difficult to judge when and where its attacks will come from which along with the silence that the presence of Chinmoku brings makes the Royal Court Guard an unpredictable enemy to fight against. Strikes from the blade itself also become unpredictable, slicing into sections of Wan's foes where they were not touched. The truth of the weapon is that it is a condensed form of the Assassin's Killing Intent, the unpredictability in truth a dozen invisible and silent blades that hover about Wan at all times.

Bankai: The true name of Chinmoku is Mu and the blade of the main weapon disappears entirely and also grows to the size of a zanbato though remains as light and effortless to use as a butter knife, the accompanying phantom blades also increase in size. All blades leave a telltale waver as if heat mirages in the air which makes them "visible" to keen eyes. The true strength of Wan's Bankai is that its blades become so sharp they no longer cut like a physical blade, instead severing the very concepts of those things they touch. In simple terms this means that Mu cuts that which holds things together, capable of cutting the concept of the rigidity of stone or even the spiritual power of Kido spells and barriers, negating them. In the case of other beings however the power becomes more terrifying for while the blades cause no physical harm on their own they can cut a person's speed, rendering them slow, or even their will to live which drives even resolute and mentally healthy beings into a dark and terrifying spiral.
