Zanpakuto Manifested Appearance
The most common form Shiroinaga takes when manifested is a very large cobra [something large enough to swallow Captain Komamura whole] with pure-white scales and fearsome red eyes. His gaze can inspire enough fear to even make Head Captain Yamamoto become wary of approach, especially since the Head Captain knows of the weapon's history. The second appearance [pictured above] is of a tall, lithe male figure with almost pure-white skin, silvery white hair, and purple markings similar to eye-shadow around red-iris eyes dressed in ornate red and purple robes.
Zanpakuto Personality
Shiroinaga is actually distasteful of violence and fighting after so many years of being raised in angry, hatred, and senseless death; on that note, he holds high regards for his current master, whom only ever raises his blade to protect the lives of others rather than to take them. He is also protective of her, not wanting to end up alone, as she is the last of the bloodline who could ever wield him, and he would end up lost forever or deteriorated upon her death. Shiroinaga, as expected of a serpent, tends to be rather apathetic to others that are not his master, and very cruel and unforgiving if they raise their blade to her; when manifested, his presence simply demands fear and respect to be paid to him, though part of that has to do with his native abilities.
Shikai Special Ability
箇条書き Kajō Kaki "Bullet Point": As stated, the top spine of the cleaver acts as the long barrel of a gun, with a cylindrical drum-chamber acting as the guard on the handle (pictured above.) In the open circular areainfront of the drum chamber (the fiery orb thing above) reiatsu is stored and can be fired like a bullet. The full extend of damage it does depends on how much reaitsu is compacted into a single bullet, and the size of the bullet entry hole may vary from a 9mm, 50cal rifle, magnum round, to even an anti-tank shell (and every other bullet caliber in-between.)
数千ポイント箇条書き Sū Sen pointo "Thousand Point": Basically it is Kajo Kaki, but the single Kajo Kaki splits aprt up to a thousand times, creating a bullet storm. This particular version of Su Sen pointo is done from a standared fireing position, aka Aima nd fire at the target.
------- 空丸ポイントKaramaru pointo "Point Blank Circle": This form of pointo is performed by firing Su Sen directly into the sky. the thousand bullets collect into a massive "bomb shell" one could say of explosive reaitsu, which then will either at the comman of "Rain", fall break down into a thousand bullets again and rain down on the enemy fromt he sky, or with the command of "Karamaru" (Empty Circle), will crash into the enemy as a single, large attack.
-------アースポイント Āsupointo "Grounding Point": This form of pointo is performed by firing Su Sen into the ground. The final result is basically the same as Karamaru, but rather than having the option of either a bullet hail flying form the ground or one large attack, it will either manifest as the Se Sen pointo, but from the ground, or a reaitsu cannon barrel (or possibly multiple) will angle out of the ground and begin an assult.
--------------------------------------Karamaru & Asupointo Special Technique: Not all the bullets [or in Asu, cannon balls] have to be fired at once, and they can be held suspended in the air or buried int he ground. As such, they can act like either land/sky mines that will detonate when stepped on/by proximity or they can be commanded to fire when it is most convenient in battle.

Bankai: Kuroiryu Naga 黒い竜ナーガ "Black Dragon Serpent"
Serina's bankai has gone through history as the most fearsome of all bankais. this is not due to having some extreme power, or destroying everything, but because of the damage it does mentally to everyone within a certain radius. It breaks down the minds of everyone, and if the user is not careful nor strong enough, their own shall break down into madness as well.
Bankai Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance: His hair will drift from white into being pitch black and, while his eyes remain red and skin remains pale white, the whites of his eyes shall become black as well. His teeth, with are that of a normal human, will become pointed and his nails which are a dark purple also become black. the colors of his robes invert to where the main red robe is black, the purple of it is red, the white and blue of it are dark gray, and the gold decor becomes tarnished silver. His voice changes form being gentle and regal to harsh and malicious backed by an echo. Black wings of shadow will rise forth from his back, and liquid shadow will drip off of his being.
Bankai Battle Appearance: The zanpakuto user will no longer have their sword as it turns into smoke, and shadow will begin to swirl around them; when the shadow dissipates, the user will find themselves with a type of armor. On their face will be a mask that covers their mouth and jawline made of a strange black metal, patterned with a scale design and sharp teeth over where the mouth would be located. On their arms, extending from the elbow down the forearms and covering the hands completely would be gloves of the same substance and scale pattern, the fingers of said gloves being sharp and able to slice through stone and some metal. On the legs would be grieves attaches to boots, also of the metal and pattern, with an upward-pointing spike at the toe, and downward-pointing spike at the heel. the chest, shoulders, and back have the same armor, though there are some more intricate patterns besides scales carved into it, and 3 openings on the back: one at each shoulder, and one in between on the spine, all on the upper back. Made of shadow, a translucent tail and pair of wing will form, though they can act as though they were solid, and form the three openings on the upper back armor, three narrow necks with a dragons head will each slither out. The user, armor, heads, wings, and tail all drip a liquid shadow that slowly seeps and spreads around.
Each dragon head has a mouth full of very thin, needle-type teeth, and have very narrow, slit red eyes that glow; their horns are long and slightly curved coming up from their heads. They speak with a very deep, malicious, somewhat-echoed voices, and talk in the minds of everyone within a certain radius. They speak of their fears, and make them believe that they are coming true. They speak to the Zanpakuto user, and try to break them as well. The more fear the user gathers from her opponent, and those nearby, the more solidified the wings, tail, and heads will become. Once fully solidified, that means the power limit has been reached, and can be either used in a devastating series of attacks, or stored away until a later Bankai usage, or even usage in Shikai if need be.
Bankai Purpose/Use: Kuroiryu Naga is the zanpakuto of true fear, making it's Shikai appearance and abilities rather misleading, possibly on purpose as to throw people off whom do not already know of it. It is not actually a gun & Reistu based Zanpakuto, but Fear and Darkness based. It destroys the minds of it's opponents, and the minds of everyone else nearby [this is due to it being a proximity-type zanpakuto whose abilities affect all on field, similar to how Katen Kyokotsu's game affects all those nearby, and how Hyorinmaru affects the weather.] It has the power to stop even the greatest army in it's tracks with fear, but this can be at the steep price of the User's mind if not careful. This is why the bankai of Shiroinaga, Kuroiryu Naga, has only been used three times throughout the entirety of it's existence: Aiding in the [apparently NEAR, thanks to new bleach chapters] Genocide of the Quincies a thousand years ago, and two different mass-killings of hollows.
Bankai Area Affects/Technique: As Kuroiryu Naga spreads it's essence across the battlefield, even the skies will begin to darken; not with clouds, but simply just darken as though it were becoming night, even the sun dimming. Peoples' perception of colors lessens, making everything seem duller, and in everyone's minds, images of their deepest fears coming true begin to play out, backed by the voices of Kuroiryu Naga. They speak, whisper, and even yell and roar at those trapped in their power until they break, and then devour both their minds, their fear, and even their bodies [Yeah, that's right it eat's it's opponents. Another reason why it was never used much.] On the battlefield, anybody watching from outside the mental destruction can tell when a person is about to be fully consumed, as with the increasing fear that person puts out, a cloud of shadow and smoke begins to surround them and their area. Serina has sworn to never use Kuroiryu Naga unless it is the absolute last resort, as she does not want to destroy herself, or most of all, her friends and allies.
