Name: "Minoru"

Aliases/ Nicknames: "Minoru" (He won't reveal his real name; stole the name of a dead friend)

Physical Description: Small children and average height men may refer to him as a wall. Standing at a height of 6'5, he leaves a trail of shade for people to bask in when the summer scorches in daylight. Minoru's body is completely ripped from spending his time working out under the heavy hours of street fighting. His hair would look like a pitch black void if it we'rent styled in his lengthy dreadlocks. Those dreadlocks block his serious yet calm expression from any who gives him a bad look.


Zanpacto: (Zanpaktou and below has yet to be acheived)

Sealed Form: A katana with a 4ft long blade and a foot long handle. As the sheif is an empty black, the handle represents a smoke like grey. The guard resembles a bolded "T". When in battle he weilds his blade with a single hand while punching with the other.

Shikai: Release~ "Break away from your imprisonment, Ashikase Shuujin."
The sheif and katana seperate and disperse into smoke. The katana binds around Minoru's arms and finally reveal themselves as steel guantlets. The sheif searches lower around his hamstrings and clatter together like shackles. They then transform into a pair of massive shin guards, matching the guantlets.

*The only technique or skill given to the Shikai is Reiatsu Transfer. Most of his strength will come from his weaponary so it distributes all of the left over reiastu into Ashikase Shuujin's power in attacking and defending.*

Special Accessories: Instead of wearing the accustomed belt, Minoru wears his dual-cross belt for personal reasons (he thinks it looks good.) He also has a golden bracer around his left arm. He has no idea what it does since he think it's a mere trinket. It actually recycles leftover and regaining reiastu around and inside his body. It's not a huge amount being delivered for it works slowly and takes hours to work efficently.

Skills: (Skills already learned are under-lined. Skills wanting to be learned in italics.)

Grappling Technician: When alive, Minoru has copied basic and advance throws, counters, and submissions from many arts, mainly Judo and Kenpo (Is not a real martial artist.)

Shunpo/Kendo: Even though he fights with patience and waiting for the opponents move, he must train more on running distances and actually knowing on using the sword (fights with his zanpaktou one-handed.)


Abilities:
N/A

Personality:
Thinking of what's to come, what was done, and what must be done. His personal motto on why everyone should know what to do. Minoru didn't when he needed to. Because of a failure, he remains calm and collective unltil the time comes for a joyful moment. To bad he doesn't believe in them. His term for a joyful moment is sleeping the day away or getting those around him to participate for something useful in life.

Biography/History:
Born and raised in the States, the South was rough on him. As a kid, playing in a wasteland full of heat and grass kinda typical for those years. The playing was soonly erupted into a confusing feud.

The kid's family just happened to stole countless supplies such as money, food, appliances, etc. from a neighboring household(s). Just one of those family's were to dangerous. The next night, a crowd of people came barging in killing both of his parents. Afterwards, he escaped the carnage in regret of what he done. Later in life in a shelter home charges were put on his head as no evidence at all was pointed to his parents murder. The teen ran away once again leaving the U.S for good.

The teen, no a man, had no identy for his own as he left from Europe to Asia. In the alleys of Japan, he met a homeless hermit going by the name of Minoru. For an old coot, he was very intellctual in completely diffrent areas. He taught the man the language of tongue, the art of fight, and the question of thinking. It seemed as if Minoru was parenting him.

On a strange night, the coot gave to the man a bracer. As his giant hand laid on teh metallic gold, a wave of energy screeched behind them. It was a noise they've never heard of before. In a flash, Minoru was suddenly lifted off the ground begging to get on the concrete street. With one last yell, he was crushed in two before the man's eyes. As he held onto the bracer once more, the image of a monster came through with a horrendous pale face. With no thought at all, he ran away, only to be cornered by the monster's claw. He, too, was gripped by the Hollow.

As teh Hollow's fingers squeezed onto his abdomen, a bright light rained down. The light was the glimmer of a katana. Just as the Hollow fell and the 'samurai from bthe sky' rescued him, a local police department came in to arrest the murdeous, derangd man from America. Just as he was put in his cell, he killed himself, for he couldn't bear the thought of being chained to a prison. He couldn't be chained to a huge guilt. He couldn't be chained to anyone's death. If only he could make the chains stop...


Powers:
Reiastu Transer: Reiastu from inside Minoru will be automatically given into the Shikai forms stregth

Reiastu Recycle: From his golden bracer, reiatsu surrounding him will enter, be used, leave, then come back again. It takes hours for the device to give all of his lost energy back.
