[ ON THE SURFACE ]
Physical Description: Cerlain is by no means an ugly man, his father never would have allowed it. From the first signs of any blemish on his skin, it would begin a regimen of creams and powders until it was gone. The result was a face of spotless beauty, with a head of hair that would make any man with "thinning" hair jealous. His eyes are a deep forest green that hides his everlasting boredom with a sense of calm interest.
His outfit consists of a black button up jacket over a white dress shirt. A pair of black slacks grace his legs everyday creating the air of a a great businessman. A rather great lie indeed considering he's a history teacher.
Cerlain's Quincy uniform is merely a color swapped version of his normal suit and he very rarely wears it as it draws a rather great deal of attention to himself. His war outfit as he likes to call it has one major difference to his normal clothes, being a small holster for his journal. the journal itself is a small leather bound book with an owl engraved into the cover. the pages have suffered a great deal of damage over his years of note taking. the first half of the book itself is filled with generic notes on being a Quincy such as, the spirit weapon and generic notes on Shinigami. the second half is filled with pages about theories and alternative methods of using his powers, such as using Hirenkyaku to cushion his fall from a high place by pushing off the cushioning his fall with the Reishi he would normally push off of.
Spiritual Description: His Reiatsu exerts a cold chill reaching around him trying to envelop everything around it. However if he remains calm and keeps up the facade of his everyday joy it morphs into a false warmth that invites all those he encounters to attempt a conversation with him. When its released in the form of his spirit weapon or his Blut abilities it feels warm and excited with the thrill of battle and the opportunity to learn and examine. It has been reported as being quite terrifying in the right situations.
[ BEHIND THE EYES ]
Personality: Cerlain enjoys a nice hot coffee every morning, not out of a need to wake up but rather to simply keep himself alert to the world around him. Unlike most other Quincy, Cerlain does not actively hunt down other hollows but prefers rather to study his powers and the spiritual world as a whole instead. This does not however mean that he will ignore a hollow, no he kills all he sees on sight, he simply doesn't actively seek them. Cerlain does not have any sort of resentment or hate for the Shinigami as the books he read held none towards them, and as such he had no real reason to hate them. He actually sees them as two sides on the same coin while their methods are different their goals are the same. He also runs a chess club in the afternoons at his school.
Cerlain is bored at almost all times, due to a general lack of interest in the mortal world that surrounds him. This tends to put him at odds with his entire family, his oldest brother Danny only wants to help his brother succeed in the world, but due to Cerlain's lack of interest in anything but his students and the spiritual world, which Danny is blind to, he has driven a large emotional divide between him and his family.
His sister Sheryl has no interest in her family as a whole and as a result has had an overall great relationship with Cerlain. They only ever interact when they need something from each other, such as Sheryl requesting that Cerlain solve some math for her accounting work with her business. Or when Cerlain tags along with her on a business trip to investigate Quincy history in the area. Some people call this relationship parasitic, they call it efficient.
Cerlain's one and only joy in this world is the spiritual world in all its forms. This includes hollows, his own Quincy powers, the Quincy society, Shinigami, etc. When delving into his great joy, Cerlain's attitude changes into a blind joy. He becomes filled with absolute joy at the prospect of learning something new. This joy is almost childish, and when he is confronted by some new form of stupidity while doing his "studying" with this persona, he adopts a far more sarcastic and hateful tone.
Goals & Achievements: Cerlain is an extremely intelligent man graduating from college at the age of 19 and discovering Quincy powers 3 years later. His greatest achievement although has to be that his Quincy powers are completely self taught, and that he has become greatly skilled in all of them.
his goals are as follows
1. Master his powers
2.Earn a title in the Quincy world
3.Spread the Quincy tradition to his most intelligent students.

Quincy Cross: Cerlain's Quincy cross is a bracelet made of silver that he wears on his left hand that he had made so that he could focus his powers more easily. He discovered the idea of a Quincy cross while examining pictures of Quincy that he had discovered in historical texts. He decided that he didn't like the idea of wearing a cross and as such decided upon a bracelet.
Power: Cerlain's power is the ability to manipulate the minds of other people and hollows forcing them to see things that aren't there. This can range anywhere from the images of the dearly departed allowing people to see their loved ones again, to conjuring the image of a brick wall tricking the enemy into thinking its a dead end.
Spirit Weapon: Cerlain's spirit weapon is a bow, He realizes that it could be whatever he wanted it to be but he chose the traditional route. Besides it would be easier to explain to his family that he decided to take up archery than firing guns.
[ LEGACY CREATED ]
Origin: Cerlain was born to Barden Baleforth and Elaine Fischer, into one of the wealthiest families in northern England. As a result he was given a rather excellent education that ultimately led to his general boredom with the day to day world. Cerlain had two older siblings named Danny and Sheryl, neither of whom had any spiritual ability. Cerlain grew up in a life filled with boredom and the promise of general luxury so long as he didn't cause trouble for his family. This was fine for his siblings but Cerlain knew that there had to be something more somewhere out there, that's when he discovered the Quincy.
They were hard to track down through all of history but they were there. Hidden in the back ends of history with no real explanation as to why they were there or how they showed up. He had seen most historians blow them off as just some crazy religious nuts, he knew that they had to be real. They were too many and too far stretched to not be real. He set about discovering their secrets, granted it took quite a while before he got the hang of it but once he understood how to manipulate Reishi his progress skyrocketed.
Rise to Power: he had a hard time understanding the general ins and outs of the Quincy arts and never really cared for the art of Ginto, as he saw no use for it when it takes longer to make the tubes than the spells are worth. He did however, enjoy the idea of holy tools, the creation of powerful tools to aid in the destruction of hollows. Such as his personal favorite the Seele Schneider, a powerful arrow that can double as a sword that was even easier to make. The act of creating his bow was significantly more difficult than he thought it would be. The books he read all made it seem so easy, but once he set about doing it he found that the process of manipulating the spiritual energy in the world around him was harder than it sounded. It took him ages to figure it out but once he understood and mastered the process he set about perfecting it.
Call to Action: Cerlains mother was a kind woman who enjoyed simple things in life. She always encouraged her children to be the best version of themselves that they could possibly be. She never wanted any of her children to worry about her and as such made some questionable decisions in regards to her health. It was infinitely devastating when cancer took her away from this world forever. Cerlain had long since given up the hope of ever seeing her again, but was given a small opportunity to see her restless spirit underneath a tree in the garden. It was the same tree where she had taught him and his siblings how to read, write, and just generally raised them. She stood there beautiful, elegant, and sad. He had never seen her sad before, however she had also lost the ability to speak with her family, well most of her family. Cerlain sat down and spoke with her. They turned this into a tradition, and then his siblings started to take it up, he even relayed messages on to them setting them off on their own paths. One day he was speaking with his mother and asked her what she would want him to do. "Whatever will make you happiest C, that's what I want you to do." Those words resonated with him and he set off on his journey to become a great Quincy and teach his craft to his students.
