Harugin, having trained in the Kido corps knows a lot about Kido and diffrent Kido's, being able to use Hado, Bakudo, and some foribidden spells. When Haru does decide to summon his Zanpaktou, he uses an unorthadox style of swordplay he calls "AkkaiKendo" Or Trick swordplay.

Shikai abilites: In it's Shikai state, Tejinameijin gives Harugin the ability to control shadows, making it live up to it's name of "Trickmaster". The sword's first command is "Flash and Cry!". This causes the blade to release a blinding flash of light which makes shadows. The second command of the blade is "Dance shadows Dance!" This command causes shadows around to attack in various forms, such as shadow swords or create shadow shields. The shadows can turn into hands to grab or steal an opponents sword. If the shadows are struck to many times, they will return to just being normal shadows. Each shadow takes Haru's own Spirital pressure to control, so controlling too many at a time is very taxing for him. Haru also has the ability to control his own shadow, creating a doppleganger of himself. The Doppleganger named "Nigurah" appears as a naked shadow version of Harugin, with pitch black skin, glowing yellow eyes, and fangs for all it's teeth. It cannot speak, but instead cominucates through raspy breaths, and does have a degree of intelligence. This doppleganger however, does not copy Haru's weapons or use of Kido and fighting style. It instead, attacks with physical attacks. It is able to bend and morph it's body into anything. and when struck, can absorb blows by becoming a normal shadow and then becoming solid again. Harugin can switch places with his shadow at any time, although his own shadow takes much more spiritual pressure to control.

His upper body clothing is destroyed, leaving just his pants. His sword, combines with his body, creating demonic armor that covers his right arm, ending in spikes and claws. The armor is red and black. He also gains armor on his feet, creating armor boots. His left arm is left naked.
Bankai abilities: The most notable change of his Bankai, is that Kiboutatsujin's spirit possesses his shadow and becomes a physical manifistation of itself, able to be cut and to cut. This allows Haru to fully fight with his zanpaktou spirit. While Haru simply attacks physically with claws and fangs, as well as a shadow Nodachi he can form, The Trickmaster attacks with Specilized Kido, using it's power to create strings of black energy which attach to shadows and then control those shadows like puppets, during Bankai, "Trickmaster" Becomes "Puppetmaster" and is even able to make dopplegangers of opponents that will attack with whatever magic or weapon the opponent uses.

History:
World of the living:
Harugin was born within a poor district of an even poorer city. He lived with his younger sister Yayoi. The two of them were poor orphans and lived in a shack on the outskirts of town. One day however, Haru was caught stealing from some robbers and was murdered because of it, leaving his sister alone. For a long time, Haru stayed connected to his chain of fate, staying by his sisters side and watching over her. However, the chain was slowly eroding and soon he would become a hollow. It was at this time that Squad 3 leader Matsuki came to find Haru, she explained to him the dangers of staying in the real world would cause for his sister. Haru eventually relented and allowed Matsuki to send him to the soul society.
Soul Society:
Haru once again lived in the life of poverty with the Rokungai. His sister was always on his mind and he regretted leaving her side. Haru had to fight in order to survive, and it was during this time that his budding soul reaper powers were beginning to show. During his time here, Matsuki once again came to visit him, although her mission was to find a Kanpaku who was exhibiting high spirital pressure. Haru however, was on the outskirts of the town when he was attacked by a hollow. The hollow was able to severly injure Haru but before Haru died, he entered his inner world for the first time, seeing his spirit Trickmaster. Trickmaster created a deck of 3 cards, two jokers and one heart. He set them down within a table in the huanted house, telling Haru that if he picked out the heart, he would win the game, but if he picked out one of the jokers, he would lose the game. By game, Trickmaster meant life and death. Haru pickedo out the heart card, which was actually reacting to his will to live. Impressed, Kiboutatsujin introduced himself, telling Haru his name and to say it. Haru then came out of his inner world and said the name, materilizing and releasing his Zanpaktou for the first time and killing the hollow. Tsukino, head of the Himura clan, saw this and eventually suceeded in getting Haru to enter the Soul reaper acadamy.
Academy days:
Haru was a devout student in the Academy. He could have been top of his class in most of his classes but he was known to goof off. Tsukino often visited him to see how his training was going, impressed with his skills when he actually tried. Harugin eventually graduated from the Academy where Tsukino suggested he go into the 1st squad. however, the thought of his sister still weighed heavily on his mind.
1st Divison:
Haru held no official rank in the 1st division, seeing as how he had refused to take a higher rank. One day, Haru left to the world of the living to see his sister. He came upon her and was horrified to learn that she had become a hollow due to her sadness of him leaving her and her anger at him having left her. Haru had no choice but to fight her. She proved to be a very strong hollow however and Haru was pushed to the limit against her rage against him. He eventually retreated, needing to regroup in order to defeat her. During this time, Yoruichi and Urahara approached Haru, each taking an interest in the strange soul reaper. Urahara offered him power to send Yayoi on peacefully, but warned that it could kill him. Haru took on the challenge and soon he was in Urahara's training chamber where Yoruichi used Urahara's method of obtaining Bankai in 3 days. The method forced Trickmaster out into the open where he played games with Harugin, each game lasted one day and would result in death if Haru lost any of them, however, if Haru survived all three games, then on the third day Trickmaster would submit and grant Haru his full powers. Though it was difficult for him and he nearly died a few times, Haru managed to win all three games and unlock Bankai. With this, Haru faced Yayoi again and was able to slay her, sending her to the soul society. Matsuki then fixed it so that Yayoi would stay in a more secure part of the Rokungai, where Haru visits her often.
Promotion:
Tsukino, impressed with Haru's skill, eventually put forth the idea of him becoming the second squad captain and leader of the secret ops. Haru refused at first, saying that he wasn't one for responsibility, but at the same time Tsukino kept on with the recommendation. Haru eventually decided to just give it a shot, and took the captains exam, passing it with flying colors. He was then put on a mission to find an escaped criminal, the criminal was known to have at one time been a lieutenant level soul reaper. This was to test Harugin to see if he could lead the black ops. Harugin captured the criminal again with ease, bringing him back and passing the test. He was then named captain of squad two and leader of the punishment force, where he currently still resides.
Hollow Revolution
Because of the ever looming threat of Aizen, Harugin always had agents in Karakura town, ready to report of any suspicious activity. During this time, a very powerful hollow appeared in Karakura town and began killing and devouring people with high spiritual pressure, including the agents of Harugin. Harugin saw fit to go to the real world himself and deal with the problem. He arrived in the real world, searching for the hollow that had murdered so many people. It wasn't long before the creature sought Harugin out due to his powerful spiritual pressure. The hollow was an Adjuchas level Menos in the form of a very large nine tailed fox. Harugin immedietly did battle with the creature and was surprised to learn that it could absorb Kido and it's skin was as strong as an arrancars. Harugin had no choice but to release his Zanpakuto in order to battle the creature. The creature fought Harugin on even ground and soon gained the upperhand with a powerful Cero, although Harugin was able to deflect it with his Inverse Burst. However, Harugin was still not able to kill the creature with just his shikai, so he released his Bankai. Now, armed with his Bankai powers and a doppleganger of the Hollow, harugin was finally able to defeat the creature, or so he thought. The creature had one final trick up it's sleeve. It attacked Harugin and merged it's spirit with his, becoming one with Harugin and attempting to take over his body from the inside out.
Controlling the beast
Harugin fell to the ground in pain, half a hollow mask forming before he passed out into darkness. Luckily for him however, Tsukino Himura, his soon to be Mother in law, had followed him to make sure that no harm came to him. She found him half dead and turning into a hollow, and took him to the one person that could help. Kisuke Urahara. Taking him to Urahara's shop, Urahara expained that no normal hollow could do this, and it could have been caused by none other then Aizen, attempting to further thin the thirteen court guard squads. Luckily, Urahara who had been watching the Visoreds, had discovered thier way of controlling an inner hollow. He brought Harugin who was now awake down into his training celler, although Harugin had to be restrained. Here, he explained the process as well as the dangers, but Harugin agreed to it. Urahara then knocked him out, forcing him to enter his inner world and confront his hollow. While this was happening, Harugin's body was places in a forcefield with Tsukino inside it. Harugin turned into the very hollow that had possessed his body, and Tsukino kept it at bay. meanwhile, Harugin fought the hollow inside his inner world without the help of Trickmaster who was being surpressed by the hollow. The hollow nearly killed Harugin, who then saw Trickmaster locked away. The two had a conversation about thier bond and how they share thier power to be strong. Harugin then merged with Trickmaster, and the two defeated the hollow, surpressing it and locking it within the basement of the haunted house in his inner world. With that, Harugin's body returned to normal and the battle for Tsukino had ended, Harugin was now wearing a hollow mask, which he removed to show a fanged smile.
Decree
Harugin thanked Urahara and left for soul society with Tsukino. They approached Yamamoto and Harugin gave his mission report. The report reached central 46 and Harugin was summoned before them. Tsukino, worried over what they would decide, Had a conversation with her old friend Yamamoto, and the two left with him. Tsukino used her influence as the head of one of the four great noble families to sway central 46. They agreed to let Harugin keep his title as Captain. However, if his hollow half took over and he went out of control, then he would have to be killed by Tsukino or Yamamoto. Harugin agreed to this condition and thanked Tsukino, who merely stated that she was looking foreward to the wedding he would have with her daughter. Harugin stared at her dumbfounded but figured he would thank her by Marrying into her family, and become Sazuka's husband.

During this time, a very powerful hollow appeared in Karakura town and began killing and devouring people with high spiritual pressure, including the agents of Harugin. Harugin saw fit to go to the real world himself and deal with the problem. He arrived in the real world, searching for the hollow that had murdered so many people. It wasn't long before the creature sought Harugin out due to his powerful spiritual pressure. The hollow was an Adjuchas level Menos in the form of a very large nine tailed fox. Harugin immedietly did battle with the creature and was surprised to learn that it could absorb Kido and it's skin was as strong as an arrancars. Harugin had no choice but to release his Zanpakuto in order to battle the creature. The creature fought Harugin on even ground and soon gained the upperhand with a powerful Cero, although Harugin was able to deflect it with his Inverse Burst. However, Harugin was still not able to kill the creature with just his shikai, so he released his Bankai. Now, armed with his Bankai powers and a doppleganger of the Hollow, harugin was finally able to defeat the creature, or so he thought. The creature had one final trick up it's sleeve. It attacked Harugin and merged it's spirit with his, becoming one with Harugin and attempting to take over his body from the inside out.
Controlling the beast
Harugin fell to the ground in pain, half a hollow mask forming before he passed out into darkness. Luckily for him however, Tsukino Himura, his soon to be Mother in law, had followed him to make sure that no harm came to him. She found him half dead and turning into a hollow, and took him to the one person that could help. Kisuke Urahara. Taking him to Urahara's shop, Urahara expained that no normal hollow could do this, and it could have been caused by none other then Aizen, attempting to further thin the thirteen court guard squads. Luckily, Urahara who had been watching the Visoreds, had discovered thier way of controlling an inner hollow. He brought Harugin who was now awake down into his training celler, although Harugin had to be restrained. Here, he explained the process as well as the dangers, but Harugin agreed to it. Urahara then knocked him out, forcing him to enter his inner world and confront his hollow. While this was happening, Harugin's body was places in a forcefield with Tsukino inside it. Harugin turned into the very hollow that had possessed his body, and Tsukino kept it at bay. meanwhile, Harugin fought the hollow inside his inner world without the help of Trickmaster who was being surpressed by the hollow. The hollow nearly killed Harugin, who then saw Trickmaster locked away. The two had a conversation about thier bond and how they share thier power to be strong. Harugin then merged with Trickmaster, and the two defeated the hollow, surpressing it and locking it within the basement of the haunted house in his inner world. With that, Harugin's body returned to normal and the battle for Tsukino had ended, Harugin was now wearing a hollow mask, which he removed to show a fanged smile.
Decree
Harugin thanked Urahara and left for soul society with Tsukino. They approached Yamamoto and Harugin gave his mission report. The report reached central 46 and Harugin was summoned before them. Tsukino, worried over what they would decide, Had a conversation with her old friend Yamamoto, and the two left with him. Tsukino used her influence as the head of one of the four great noble families to sway central 46. They agreed to let Harugin keep his title as Captain. However, if his hollow half took over and he went out of control, then he would have to be killed by Tsukino or Yamamoto. Harugin agreed to this condition and thanked Tsukino, who merely stated that she was looking foreward to the wedding he would have with her daughter. Harugin stared at her dumbfounded but figured he would thank her by Marrying into her family, and become Sazuka's husband.
