Name: Cyril Alekzander
Nickname(s)/Alias(es):
Race: Shinigami
Age: 20 [exact age unknown, but fairly young for a shinigami]
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 185 lbs
Rank: Unseated 4th Squad Member
Physical Description: He stands at 6'4" with a lanky body and a swimmer's build, his skin is lightly tanned and he is always slouching. His face is angular with a slim jaw line, he has a small nose with a low bridge; his eyes are evenly spaced and angled slightly downward on the outside, they are a midnight blue with an ice blue circle around the pupil. His hair is a dark blond that is short on the top and sides, but has a ponytail that runs a third of the way down his back. He wears a standard Shihakushō that has faded with the sleeves rolled up and a wristband on his right wrist, his sword is sheathed on his left side.
Personality: An easygoing and fairly simple shinigami, he prefers non-violence but is not afraid to go all out if his hand is forced. He can be easily agitated when he's hungry, but other than that he's usually a person with an almost contagious smirk that is almost always plastered on his face. He prefers to keep the attitude light rather than getting serious and bogging down a mood.
(Not obtained yet)Zanpakutou:
Zanpakutou Spirit: Hidden behind the guise of a small, blue-haired boy lies the soul of the Zanpakuto Seisen. Shy and quiet, the boy seems distrustful and unwilling to open up; he seems to be hiding something important. The boy stands at about three feet tall, he wears a blue yukata with designs on the shoulders his most noticeable feature is the four foot pillar of blue light behind him that adds a sad glow to his features. His hair is short but has a slight curl to it, on his face is usually a calm, apathetic expression showing no trace of his thoughts as seemingly empty eyes stare straight ahead as if looking at something in the distance.
Inner World: The remains of a battlefield, barren and deserted. Dead trees burnt by the fires of war, scattered weapons are strewn about rusted and broken. In the center of this blood-scented wasteland is a half-burnt portrait on a seemingly untouched easel, the face is missing but the robes looks vaguely familiar.
Sealed Form: A rather plain sword, the only notable features are the fact that it has no guard and the blade is lavender.
(Not obtained yet) Shikai Name/Release Phrase: Seisen(聖戦) / "Cleanse the Battlefield" [浄化戦場](Jōka senjō)
Shikai Description: The sword vanishes is a burst of blue flashes before reappearing in the form of a naginata with a lavender blade. Hanging just below the blade is a 'fox-tail' tassel of a light blue color that is used in most of the Shikai's special attacks, to the touch it is almost unnervingly soft. The staff of the naginata is a finely polished light wood of indeterminable origin, the dark circles in the wood of the staff pulse blue during periods of high emotions.
Shikai Powers/Attacks:
青い閃光 (Aoi senkō): The 'fox-tail' that is attached below the blade emits a light blue glitter that slowly gathers together into small orbs, upon impact with anything besides the shikai itself the orbs blast into a bright flare of light; effective for distractions or a quick-escape blinding.
反抗的な参加者 (Hankō-tekina sanka-sha): The Naginata is spun around as fast as Cyril's hands can handle, causing the blue glitter to gather in a different manner creating a tenporary barrier five feet around his body. This can be shattered by strong spiritual pressure, consecutive kidou attacks(or a single strong enough) or enough sheer force
焼け野原(Yakenohara): The most devastating attack his Shikai can produce, it can only be used once per release when Cyril is in good mental and physical condition in other words any visible damage prevents him from using it. The naginata is engulfed in blue light as it is stabbed into the ground, followed by an explosive burst in a twenty foot area from the point of contact. This technique causes heavy fatigue and physical damage to the user and as such is rarely used.

Biography/History: Born to a poor American family, Cyril had an average childhood with not so average vocal chords. His parents learned of his talent when he was only six years old, they began putting him into pageants and talent shows to win the prize money. This continued for several years until his parents started fighting over the money, in the end his father killed his mother for spending too much money. His father was put into prison and he was sent to live with a foster family at the age of eleven.
His new family was kind and loving, a mother named Carol, a father named Greg and a younger brother of seven named Dylan; he was withdrawn and quiet for the first two years, he barely ate and didn't speak or look at anyone while they all just tried to get him out of his shell. It wasn't until one day when Dylan was playing outside alone while their parents were out working, Cyril was staring blankly out the window as a stray dog wandered unsteadily towards Dylan, it was foaming at the mouth. Dylan was frozen in terror as the dog ambled closer, it stopped and looked at him. It was as if Cyril was waking up from a long sleep, he grabbed a fire poker from the nearby fireplace and ran out just as the dog began to rush at Dylan, he blindsided it with a downward strike on it's head with a sickening crack. It lay on the ground motionless letting out a final whimper as blood pooled out from it's mouth. Dylan jumped onto Cyril's waist and hugged him while crying.
From that point on he began to open up to his new family, he was back to his old self; making new friends, singing and playing with his little brother. He joined the swim team in school and performed fairly well, not the best but not the worst, his grades were good, everything was becoming normal for him again. Cyril graduated twelfth in his class and decided to get a job and move out as he went to college, he moved into a small apartment close to his school and worked part-time at a local bookstore.
Everything was going well until his twentieth birthday.
That morning there had been a news report about a convict who had broken out of prison about a week ago and was still evading capture, nothing really out of the ordinary with that story. The convict's name had been announced before Cyril had turned on the television, but it didn't really matter since there was almost no chance of running into an escaped convict in broad daylight. Dylan came over for dinner with a gift for Cyril, it was a wrist band in his favorite color, there were sirens outside getting closer, as he slipped the wrist band on his door was kicked in! A dirty, scraggly man burst in with a gun and pointed it at Cyril. He was shouting, Cyril wasn't paying attention to what he was saying he was shoving Dylan behind the counter they had been eating off of. The sirens were louder now, right outside the apartment building, another man shouting then . . .BANG!!
. . . two months later
He wasn't sure what was happening, he was following Dyan around and talking to him but there was no reply. No matter what he did, whether he followed him into the shower or shouted at the top of his lungs while he was laying down, there were times where Dylan was just sitting in his room crying. He didn't understand what was happening, there was a broken chain on his chest that he hadn't noticed before. . . what was going on? There was a figure wearing all black behind him, he turned around because of a prickling feeling on his skin, with no explanation the figure knocked Cyril on the forehead with the butt of his katana then there was only white for awhile. When he awoke he was wearing different clothes, a yukata, did someone change his clothes while he was out? his wrist band was the only thing that was the same. He asked around and found out he was in some place called the Hokutan district of Rukongai, he never heard of any place like that, he was confused and couldn't accept it. The years flew by and he eventually got used to Rukongai and it's inhabitants, the only problem was that he was often hungry, when most of the others here didn't seem to ever eat. On some very rare occasions in the night he would awaken to a bright blue flash just above him, when he heard about the shinigami and how they are sometimes allowed to visit the human world he decided to try to get in to Shinōreijutsuin, not realizing just how much time had passed since he had died. It took him several tries and some explanation, but he managed to demonstrate use of Reiatsu and make his way into the academy to begin his six year training.
Cyril graduated third in his class and is now an unseated member of the 4th Squad, Healing and Maintenance.
