 "At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one's lost self."
"In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together."
"A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life."

Race:
Shinigami
Sexuality:
Homosexual
Age:
Appears to be in his mid 20s, actual age is unknown
Height:
6'2
Weight:
257 pounds of pure musclllee
Rank:
CAPTAIN KICKASS.
Vice Captain of Squad 9
Physical Description:
Built like a brick s**t house with not an ounce of fat on him. Trace is the man you run to if you're in trouble, though he's only likely to help if there's something in it for him. He's got muscles everywhere, but not to where he looks like one of those creepy body builders. With thick, broad shoulders and the same colored eyes as Tezuka's, that seem to bore into your soul, Trace is a very intimidating person to look at, and when he talks, Good God Almighty it's even worse. His voice is deep, and rumbles in his chest before coming out, almost like he's growling, even when in a good mood. His hair reaches his lower shoulder blades, and is solidly black & oh-so-silky. 99.8 % of the time, it's pulled back into a low ponytail at the nape of his neck.
His dominant side is his right, but sometime between being sent to the Shinigami Academy and graduating, he trained himself to hold his sword in his left hand, though he still cant kick a ball properly with his left foot. It's actually a funny thing to watch. On his right arm, starting at the shoulder is a large wolf head that slowly turns into tendrils lower down his arm. That's the only tattoo he has, and as for piercings, he's clean.
Instead of the traditional Shinigami uniform, he wears an a sleeveless black shirt over an equally as sleeveless black jacket, similar to this. Sometimes the jacket is a dark blue, or a dark red, but for the most part, it's a dark color. Bottoms can range from ripped jeans to actual hakama bottoms, it really just depends on his mood when dressing. Because he's not the type of guy to really care about what he's wearing, he usually just grabs the first things that touch his hands when he wakes up. He has a habit of going around barefoot.
Reiatsu Color:
Navy bluuueeee
Personality:
He's really kind of... abrasive, overall. During his younger years, he acted so much like his father, but after getting sent to the Shinigami Academy, he seemed to take on a darker persona. Though he'll deny it till the cows come home, Trace is a lonely guy. He has trouble connecting and trusting people, which kind of sets him apart from everyone else. He's got this bad habit of putting the blame on everyone else at first, then looking back and taking some of the blame.
Has a soft spot for little kids and humor, but that's really about it. Humor, actually, is the easiest way to get through to him. Trace is NOT a man to be messed with, because he really doesnt give a rat's a** about who he's hurting or squishing to get his way, though this side of him is usually only used as a last resort or in a fight.
He tries to be at least a little respectful to people that matter, or people he actually likes...but most of the time he fails miserably. This isnt helped by the fact that he suffers from Tezuka's own crazy speech pattern, even it it is toned down a little. He's also honorable, pretty much to a fault. Never leaves one of his own behind, even if he doesnt like them. This is one of the things he hates about himself. That and the fact that he doesnt give up easily, no matter what's going on. Because of Yosei, he's prone to random fits of anger and destruction. The fits can last for minutes, or even days, depending on what set him off and how he was feeling before hand. He's yet to figure out how to make them less destructive.
Attitude towards Tezuka:
Conversations with his dad almost always seem to take awkward turns, which irritates the s**t out of Trace. He's still pretty bitter about getting sent away to the Academy, but at the same time, he wants to have a decent relationship with his father. It's on his To-Do list. At least twice a week, he tries to explain what happened between himself and Kimiko, though for the most part, Tez tries to ignore him.
Is usually in only one set of moods at a time towards people: silent and intimidating, loud and arrogant, or horny and humorous. There's not much middle ground between the three.
Bio:

It'll find its way here...someday. >____>

Zanpakutou:
Zanpakutou Spirit:
The Weeping Fairy (Naku Yosei)
Her skin is always moist and colder than ice, though she never seems effected by it. She wears a long, see-through skirt with rips and tears in it, and no top. She stands at about 7'3", but because her shoulders are almost always hunched, she looks to be about 7'0".
Personality:
Yosei enjoys fighting and being around people that Trace is comfortable with, but only to extent. Out of all her instincts, the instinct to protect is strongest. If Trace is in trouble, her feral, dangerous side is quickly unleashed, and similar to a mother defending her children, she will do anything it takes to make sure he survives. In a fight, she becomes nearly desperate to win, to kill the opponent, and to make sure Trace lives. In the beginning, Trace has a hard time suppressing her urges, and they begin spilling into his own conscious thoughts and actions. Later on, he gradually learns to suppress her feelings in a battle. Afterwards though, he'll be prone to random fits of anger and destruction.
Inner World:
There's a small island in the very center of a heated swamp. Oddly enough, it's made of nevermelting ice, so clear that you can literally see right through it. It seems to be the most alive place in the realm. Yosei is usually seen sitting in the middle of the island, a sad or faraway look on her alien face. Around the heated waters, there're large, devilish trees that hide only evil, shadowy creatures. It's almost always misting softly, though there are no clouds to be seen in the moon and star-lit sky.
Sealed Form:
Yosei's sealed form is an intricate 17" long double edged dagger. The hilt is made of ivory, and the blade itself is a strange red color. In the light it's the color of fresh blood, and out of the light it's the color of coagulated blood. Along the blade are several holes ranging in size. They serve no extra purposes. At the very tip, it splits into two different sections.
(Not obtained yet) Shikai Name/Release Phrase:Spread & Destroy, Naku Yosei!
Shikai Type:
To put it simply, Trace is able to control water in its three basic states: solid, liquid, and gas. The solid takes the form of ice, the liquid as room temperature water, and gas as steam. Both the steam and ice themselves are able to damage skin if not treated immediately.
Shikai Description:
Shikai is activated when Trace takes the blade in his hands and launches it at the opponent while saying the release phrase. Before the blade even hits the ground, it explodes outwards in a flash of light. After the light, the opponent--if still near-- will be hit with a painful burst of steam, then sticky droplets of water, and finally, small shards of razor sharp ice. This all happens within the span of about 10 seconds. While the opponent is distracted, Trace seemingly pulls a long-sword out of thin air, though in reality, he merely constructed it out of the water that was created from the release. The hilt is made out of crystal clear ice, & the blade itself seems to be made of water, though it's still as hard as any steel, and sharper still. Steam surrounds Trace and the blade at all times during Shikai. Attached to the hilt of the sword is a long, thick chain with an eye at the end. The chain is roughly 2 meters long, and can be used to tangle the opponent up, or to swing the blade around. Because of this new form, the blade is constantly dripping water into the air.
Other than his body now being covered in a cloak of reiatsu that acts as a sort of armor,Trace doesnt change physically.
Shikai Powers/Attacks:
Main Ability:
Expert control of water in all its forms. Water is controlled mainly by the tip of his blade or hands. Once attaining Bankai, he is able to use his eyes for control.
Attacks:
Trace's attacks are nameless, because of the fact that he can do so much with the water. To name them all would be tedious. The only thing he has to do is think about what he wants the water to do, what state he wants to do it in, and then focus on where he wants it to go. By time he gets to the focusing stage, the water is already moving at blinding speeds towards whatever he's aiming for. There are limitations though: If another Ice-type zanpakutou is on the battlefield, his steam based attacks are lessened, though his ice-based ones are much stronger. Same goes for steam based attacks and defenses.
Advantages:
+++++Similar to Kimiko's Ice Cloak ability, Trace is able to literally form barriers of ice and steam around his body that will freeze or scald opponents. They are a constant in battle, and can be changed back and forth with little to no strain on Trace.
+++++Water based attacks, for the most part can be evaded and or blocked by Trace, though if used by a higher rank than he, it will be more difficult. Attacks that are meant to freeze or cauterize wounds still take effect.
+++++The water that drips from the end of his blade floats to about his shoulder level, and can be directed by using the blade as a sort of wand into use for both attack, and defense.
+++++While in Shikai, creating shields out of reiatsu, ice, water, and walls of steam are used more often than actual attacks.
Disadvantages:
+++++Due to his defense and strength greatly increasing during his Shikai, his speed begins to fail miserably. His Shunpo, while normally only a Vice Captain level anyways, drops to being almost a fourth seat level, barely even a Shunpo at all. Running also suffers. The only area of speed that doesnt suffer is his hand and arm motions.
+++++He's unable to make it snow, rain, or steam cover the entire area of the battle in Shikai.
(Not obtained yet) Bankai Name/Release Phrase: Cover the Earth in your Waters, Naku Yosei! Bankai!
Bankai Description:
After saying that mouthful, Trace throws his blade into the air, where it explodes in a flash of light. The sky begins to quickly change, and grey clouds appear and blot out the sun/moon. First, large icy snowflakes begin flying onto the battlefield, then it begins to rain cats and dogs, and finally, on the ground, the ice begins to melt and steam rises. This doesnt take long to happen. While this is going on, Trace is being bathed in reiatsu and water, so much so that his clothes begin to rip and tear. Those of lesser levels will be forced to their knees, and even higher leveled people will have trouble supporting themselves. On his skin where the water has touched, ice crystals begin to form, giving him additional defense. They look almost identical to Kimiko's Ice Cloak ability, but are unable to freeze things they touch. Around his body, there is a constant steam, obscuring him slightly from his opponent. The ground becomes muddy, which makes it difficult to navigate for both Trace and the enemy. It will continue to rain and hail periodically for the remainder of the fight, unless someone else activates an ability that makes it sunny, or another weather takes its place. Because of all the water around, fire type abilities are weakened, and also ground/earth based abilities. When he walks or moves around, his footprints leave ice.
Bankai Powers/Attacks:
Main Ability:
Master control of water in all its forms. Water is controlled mainly by the hands now, seeing as he has no blade. He is now able to use his eyes for control too.
Attacks:
By saying the word 'spread', Trace is able to send out waves of water towards his opponent at blinding speeds.
+++When ice shards hit something, the ice will begin to spread violently, encasing something until it can no longer move, or they have caused frostbite. Getting the ice off will stop its growth, but if it touches skin, the skin will be ripped off along with the ice. Ice can be sent out in waves of needles that are nearly impossible to see, to giant spikes ten feet wide.
+++Water will merely cut the opponent to shreds, or push them backwards depending on its speed and size. The water can be shaped into waves, crescents, or rain, etc.
+++Steam will scald the opponent and leave blisters. Unlike the first two forms, it can only be sent out as a mass to envelop the enemy.
Advantages:
+++++Unlike in Shikai, Trace can now make it rain and hail onto the opponent. He is unaffected by these, of course.
+++++This Bankai is only as limited as Trace's ideas in battle.
Disadvantages:
+++++His strength and defense increase even more so than in Shikai, but again, his speed begins to fail. Instead of gaining the ability to Shunpo at perhaps a captain level, it sits at VC level. He tires easily if Shunpo is used more than four times within a 7 post time period.
+++++During the first two posts, there isnt enough water on the ground or coming down to do any monstrous attacks like washing someone away and stuff. After those two posts, though, s**t can get serious!
+++++Probably the worst, and potentially fatal thing about Trace's bankai is that he's unable to repress Yosei's bloodthirsty nature. The longer the battle goes on, the more likely he is to just attack everything and anything with a pulse. Like his father, his Bankai can only be safely sustained for 15 posts, because any more than that will and can potentially be fatal for everyone near, specially Trace. His mind suffers the most from his Bankai. Yosei's violent and aggressive hidden personality forces Trace's own personality out of the way, and he looks at everyone as a target.

Other s**t:Special Accessories:
Usually carries around a small notebook and pen in one of the six pockets inside his jacket. Also known to carry around packs of gum, chocolate, and bandages from the 4th Division.
Skills:
Expert at Hand-to-Hand combat:
While he's a failure at nearly every sport that involves a ball, he's an expert at wrestling and grappling, and most forms of hand-to-hand combat. He's trained in Russian Systema for most of his Academy years forward, so even without a weapon, or vastly outnumbered, he's able walk away unscathed.
Expert Reiatsu Sensor:
Trace is an excellent tracker though he's not sure how he gained this ability. After meeting someone and being around them for a decent amount of time, he's able to --within a two mile radius of himself-- point out their general direction. Once closer in range to the person, he can pinpoint their exact location. People he's grown up with, or who he spends a lot of time near, can be pinpointed at farther distances than usual. The only time he really uses this is when he's looking for, or avoiding someone.
Immense Spiritual Pressure:
Just one of the many things he's inherited from his father. Only, he's less able to control it. Outside of battle, the reiatsu literally leaks off of him, giving his body a creepy, dark blue glow. When angered, it's been known to knock out lower leveled Shinigami. Eventually, he'll learn to control it, but right now he will struggle.
Enhanced Physical Strength:
You dont grow to be 6'2" and weigh 257 pounds without also having strength that rivals most others. Trace can lift two adult humans at once with ease, and a third with only slight falterings. He uses his strength in close ranged battles more than a blade or Kido to destroy his opponents.
Abilities:
# 8 Seki, # 1 Sho, # 39 Enkosen, & # 81 Danku, are the only Kido Trace knows/will learn. In the future (Twilight zone music plays in the background), he will master these completely and be able to wield them beyond their normal forces, enough so to rival high ranked officers of the 5th Division, and will also be able to infuse his element into them.
