[ ON THE SURFACE ]
Physical Description: This man possesses an athletic physique and sun-kissed skin from his training. Combined with his above average height, his body sets him apart from his peers. Thick black neck length hair frames the soft features of his face that ultimately stop him from being immediately intimidating. His brown eyes are focused and the man unyielding gaze is capable of conveying watchful vigilance as well as attentive listening. Even when not wearing his gi he prefers to wear loose fitting clothing that will not hamper his mobility. A man who walks with his head held high, his movement is smooth and unhesitant. He walks down familiar streets like a tourist, taking in his surroundings with a sense of wonder.
Spiritual Description: His reiatsu flickers and sways like plant-life in the wind, the light dancing atop a torch or the ebb and flow of the tides. When fully expressed, his body becomes awash in yellow undulating flames. Wisps of energy escape from him before burning out while the intensity of this spiritual shroud flares and recedes with the pace of his breath.
[ BEHIND THE EYES ]
Personality: A friendly young man who isn't hesitant to strike up conversation. While he makes the effort to keep conversation civil he will not hesitate to speak his mind. Though not quick to anger, he is a bit excitable and has a tendency to act without thinking. The events of the massacre have forever tainted his view of spirits and he finds their presence in the human world intolerable. This is especially true when they prey upon the living. When he has set his eyes on his target, he is unrelenting until he has succeeded in hitting his mark, so to speak.
His understanding of the spiritual world is a bastardization of the Quincy outlook. He believes in the concept of Ki which is a concept that encompasses Reishi, Reiryoku and Reiatsu. Though he is aware of the existence of an afterlife, he does not understand the distinction between spirits and regards them all in the same manner.
Goals & Achievements: His goal is to master the use of Ki as his sensei did on his own.
[ GUARDIAN ANGEL ]
Quincy Cross: Bound to his wrist are silver prayer beads strung together beside a silver pentacle. This cross was given to him near the end of his training to help him combat spiritual threats and is the focus for his bo staff.
Power: Though his method of combat is unorthodox for a Quincy, he does not possess any unique abilities that set him apart from others of his race.
Spirit Weapon: An ethereal rod of light extending to nearly five feet. He was taught to create this weapon in order to participate in supernatural combat against spirits. Without the use of his bo or cross, he still has access to Heilig Pfeil in the form of ranged palm strikes transmitted by disc shaped masses of reishi and reiryoku.
[ LEGACY CREATED ]
Origin: Born to a man oblivious to the supernatural happenings of Karakura and a woman of a defunct Quincy line, this child possessed an untapped spiritual potential. His mother was entirely aware of her own supernatural heritage but decided not to pass on the family tradition. She had hoped to spare him from a life of predation by Hollow and Shinigami. He grew up in this town blissfully unaware of the dangers that stalked the dark. Though it may have been too early to tell, his parents felt assured that their child would have a chance at a normal, quiet life.
Rise to Power: Late in his childhood, the boy had shown a great interest in martial arts. Hoping that his passion for these studies and the discipline entailed would have a positive on his long term work ethic, they indulged him under the condition that he would not fall behind academically. As the years passed, he showed steady improvement and a dedication not only to the mastery of the teachings of his dojo but to his scholarly and domestic responsibilities. The former seemed to attract the attention of his sensei. The young man was told that there was an innate talent in him that could be drawn out. It was at this point in his training that he was introduced to the teachings of Ki. In reality, these were his master's unique style of Quincy techniques accompanied by a skewed perspective of the spiritual world.
Call to Action: Unfortunately, his training would come to abrupt end with the passing of his master. The day of the Incursion was the very last day that the aspiring spiritualist had ever seen the man. Though he had not witnessed this tragic death, he did witness the mayhem inflicted on the town by the spirits of the dead. Furious, the young man would lash out at the invaders that had attacked this city in the years afterwards. With some individual training under his belt, battle experience and the harshness of trying to survive in a cold world, he has begun his descent into the spiritual world.
