[ON THE SURFACE]
Physical Description: Toshiro is a youth of around 19 years of age. He is rather short, standing at around 5'1. He talks in a confident tone, though it turns into more of a hiss whenever he gets mad. He has bad posture, which further enhances his look as a short teen, for his spine was weak in the world of the living, a trait which carried over to Soul Society. He walks in long strides, much like a commander, and looks surprisingly serious for his age. His body is lean, yet has some signs of muscle. Due to his weak look, opponents underestimate his strength and speed. He looks as though he never had any formal training, which is not true. He trained vigorously under the watchful eye of his father in the world of the living, for he was destined to become the next head of the Takahashi clan.
Toshiro has black eyes, which glint in a purple hue when light shines on them. They spark brightly conveying a message of supreme determination, as well as dedication to his goal. no one can hold his gaze for long. Either they are intimidated by his glance or they are too bored to care.
Toshiro is an extrovert, though he is very picky about who he calls a friend or an ally. This cautiousness leads others to believe that he is an antisocial person, though they are very wrong. When in a group of trusted friends, Toshiro is very active. Perhaps to much so. If approached by a stranger, Toshiro makes the conversation as awkward as possible to deter the person trying to talk to him. His voice is slightly high pitched, sounding as though he is still a child, which many people remark about, much to Toshiro's annoyance.
Toshiro generally wears a midnight black Haori over his Shikahusho, both of which are decorated with the golden Takahashi crest. The haori is about a size larger than it is supposed to be, giving it a very free, flowing look. He wears dark trousers held together by a belt with golden lining. He carries his zanpakuto diagonally along his back and his souruburedo along his right thigh. He also wears a silver, fingerless gauntlet in the form of a dragon on his left hand, it being a Takahashi heirloom. He also wears a silken scarf, given to him by his mother when he was still very young, and he treasures the item very dearly. The shikahusho sleeves cover the burns on his arms, which were caused by the release of Kurohomura, Toshiro's zanpakuto. The burns are very prominent in the wrist area, and are not covered by the shihakusho, revealing them for everyone to see.
Spiritual Description: Toshiro's reiatsu is displayed in the form of a hawk. It causes the air around it to dry up and when unleashed to maximum levels causes opponents to start having difficulties breathing. This ties in with Toshiro's aggressive fighting style. The reiatsu is of a black colour, with a purple glow. The wings of the hawk bear the Takahashi crest embedded into the feathers, and the hawk's eyes are exactly like Toshiro's with the only difference being the colour, his reiatsu's being a dark purple at all times. The hawk looks as though it is on fire from Toshiro's plasma based abilities, and releases flames from its wings.
[BEHIND THE EYES]
Personality: Toshiro is a fiery youth, with significantly short temper. He is supremely easy to anger, and takes most things as insults. He is brutally honest, This being a good trait sometimes, and a bad one at others. He answers rapidly, not taking much time to consider the best choice of words. Toshiro is very selective when it comes to making allies, as he looks for honest and loyal people he can talk to. This leads to him having very few friends, even if he is an extrovert. This causes cases of severe loneliness and depression, which is a hindrance when time is short. Longing to find a group of people who understand his hardships, he doesn't miss out on a chance to people watching, picking out potential friends and allies. The small amount of friends makes Toshiro immensely loyal to them, fearing the loss of them.
Toshiro is constantly driven by the lust for vengeance. He desires to eradicate the Yadamaru spiritualist clan, the clan that murdered his family, all the while searching for those contracted by them to kill him. The loss of his family took its toll on Toshiro, making him a very cautious person. A very active person, Toshiro is constantly on the move, trying to get stronger in order to gain enough strength to wipe the Yadamaru clan out of the history books. This obsession can cause him to become extremely stubborn and impervious to logic and reason.
Being a rogue, Toshiro does not have a specific base of operations. He is constantly on the move, in search of those who can help him grow more powerful, even spending 2 years in Hueco Mundo, searching for a mentor. The constant movement kills a lot of his strength, making life rather hard for him. He cannot bear strict subordination, which is why he decided not to affiliate with the gotei 5. He dislikes the order of military organisations, prefering to stay away from them entirely.
Toshiro is extremely unforgiving, and will strike down traitors without a second thought. He has no fear of spilling blood, though he does prefer to spare his opponents after battle, not because they are unworthy of death by his blade, but because he dislikes needless deaths.

[GUARDIAN ANGEL]
Zanpakuto: Kurohomura/Inazuma
Sealed state: Kurohomura takes on the form of a black Katana with an ornate, circular guard. The blade is slightly thinner and longer than the standard size of a katana. The pommel takes the shape of a black panther's head, mouth wide open, teeth showing. The hilt is wrapped in a grey, tattered cloth bearing the Takahasi crest, the crest being red in colour.
Shikai Appearence: In shikai, Kurohomura splits into two blades. The first one is identical to the sealed version, with a chain leading out of the panthers mouth. The chain is connected to the second blade, which is a wakizashi with a black hilt and a golden blade. Lightning dances along the blade of the wakizashi, crackling and giving off a yellow glow. The wakizashi is around 55 cm in length (blade only) and has a small curve. Into the handle, a lightining shape is engraved, signifying the blade's ability/power.
Shikai ability: The shikai takes advantage of plasma's high conductivity, which allows electricity to pass through it easily. The katana can fire blasts of plasma by superheating matter at its tip and then launching it forward, while the wakizashi can launch bolts of electricity. By firing an electricity bolt into the plasma, the electricity can be stored up and redirected to the nearest foe to the plasma sphere, even if the sphere itself misses its mark, due to the electricity being attracted to solid matter around it, most specifically metal, including zanpakutos.
Inner world: Toshiro's inner world is a forest, densely populated by wildlife. It is quite peaceful when Toshiro is at ease, but it gets set on fire if he is angered, which happens quite often. After Toshiro's anger settles, the forest quickly grows back, as though nothing ever happened. Deep within the forest is a small wooden hut, in which Kurohomura and Inazuma live. Toshiro awakens in a clearing
[LEGACY CREATED]
Origins: Born in Karakura town, Toshiro was born into the glorious Takahashi clan, a rich clan of capable spiritual warriors. He was living a normal life, not knowing of the power his clan wielded. His parents sent him to a kendo academy at 9 years old, and he quickly became top of the class. As he grew older, his grandfather taught him the legacy of the Takahashi clan, and passed away when Toshiro was 12 years old. One day, his family housewas the setting for a banquet, and the whole clan was present. This was when their rivals, the Yadamaru clan attacked and exterminated the then drunk and somewhat disabled warriors. Toshiro witnessed the murder of his parents. This event triggered his powers and he managed tosummon his first Souruburedo, the Kurohomura.
Rise to power: After he discovered his powers, Toshiro started to practice using his Kurohomura, and soon, learnt that the blade was a reflection of him and his personality. He soon connected with the blade, for it was already almost one being with him,and it became an extension of his being, granting him the first realease state of the blade. As he grew more proficient with the blade, the Yadamaru clan started to fear him, and employed a group of unknown shinigami to murder him. Over-hearing the conversation between a Yadamaru messenger and a rogue shinigami, he went into hiding, but was discovered due to being incapable of hiding his spiritual pressure. He was murdered by the group of rogues. After passing on, Toshiro somehow retained his memory, probable due to his lust for revenge, yet fragments of the past were lost, and he could no longer release his blade. Toshiro felt his blade trying to communicate to him,but he could no longer hear it. Later, Toshiro was attacked by a gang in the Rukongai, raiding his hut for food which he prepared in preparation to his journey into Hueco Mundo. During the fight, Toshiro was heavily outnumbered 5 to 1, and almost killed, but suddenly, as the gang leader was preparing for the finishing blow, Toshiro heard Kurohomura's call, and once again remembered the release command. His blade was once again one with him, and he could use it at will. Due to the fast nature of fighting in the soul world, Toshiro felt a need to practice soul-assisted movement. This urged him to develop a variation of Hoho which suited the way in which his Reiatsu manifests. He is only an intermediate user of soul assisted movement up to current events.
Call to action: Toshiro wants revenge on those who wronged him, and as such, he left to Hueco Mundo in order to find allies in his fight against the Shinigami. He later fought numerous hollows, advancing his power. Knowing that he cannot defeat any lieutenant or captain at this level, Toshiro seeks a mentor, one who could train him, allowing him to reach a new level. Due to the low power he wields right now, he is forced to evade hollows and arrancar who seek to consume him, all the while watching them, trying to copy their moves, in order to gain enough strength to become an arrancars apprentice.
Narcissist: Has a tendency to think that the world revolves around them.
Lack of spatial awareness:When focused on something, Toshiro has a hard time of noticing anything apart from his objective.
Short-tempered: Gets mad. Fast.
Unforgiving: Can carry a grudge over centuries.
Loyalty: Las Noches hierarchy, but even this does not outweigh his loyalty to himself, the quest he commenced ever since death.

. 75? Dang. I thought it was 100. Huh. That makes solo threads doable, yet summat ineficient. Thanks man.
