Description- Anthony has a rather slender body with toned but small muscles. While his body may lack pure, raw strength he is more then makes it up with his large stores or stamina and spiritual energy. He wears his Shimigami uniform with the arms on the top, black layer cut off at the shoulders while the lower, white layer stretches out to his wrists with the fabric comfortably snug to his skin. He has a rather bright smile that he is proud of even though he has a slight over crowding that has caused his right canine to hang out a bit. Strapped to his upper right leg is a holster that carries Zanpakuto.
Extra- Anthony always carries a lump of coal on his person, it's a simple reminder of his life in the human world. Also he always has bags of candy corn stashed within his clothing. And finally he carries with him a small air filtering mask.
Personality
Relationships- None
Description- Anthony is a rather energetic and fun loving person, preferring to abide by his personal motto of "Do whatever makes you or leads to you being the happiest." However he is also very stubborn and can tend to get serious over any subject he is passionate about, making his actions sometimes seem rather random as one can never know if he'll be passive or aggressive on the nature of how he'll approach something.

Zanpakuto
Spirit's Name- Helios Inti
Sealed Appearance- Helios Inti sealed form takes the form of a black and dusty gold colored O tanto, that he keeps sheathed in a holster on his right thigh.
Spirit's Description- Helios Inti is a kindred spirit that rests within Anthony's Zanpakuto. Despite Inti's many arguments against it, Anthony calls him his own personal Consigliere, as the spirit tends to direct and help Anthony in most situations as he is, in terms of the Spirit World, still very young. Inti however has an overly powerful thirst for "young maidens" and will become quickly excited as their flesh is revealed.
Shikai Release Phrase-Helios Inti Pa-Jigoshujin Kihaku (Purge Your Soul)
Shikai Description- The O tanto form stretches out to become a Nodachi Sword of the same characteristics, however their is a huge difference between the blade and normal Nodachi swords. At the hilt of the sword the base as well as the hilt itself is stretched slightly as a spine of the sword is also hollowed out. This allows a pencil like gap to reach from the tip of the blade(the blade's tip itself separated into two) all the way down to the hilt, where the gap gets large enough to place a small, round object securely.
Abilities-
By consuming reiatsu from Anthony, the Shikai is capable of producing coal at the opening base of the sword. It can further generate large amounts of heat, amplified by the amount of reiatsu chosen to channel, to that coal to cause it form a Diamond. These diamonds, due to the haphazard speeds used to create them, come out with nitrogen impurities, causing them to form yellow in color. These yellow diamonds stretch up along the sword's spine to fill the missing part of the blade with powerful diamond reinforcement. Diamonds have the natural ability to conduct and amplify heat causing these diamonds, where ever they maybe or what shape they take to not only conduct heat but also store pockets of thermal energy from movement and friction generated upon and/or around it.
- Whenever the Helios Inti hits an object, despite it's substance or shape it will sprout diamonds upon where ever it has cut. This can cause, among other logical effects, limbs to be snared, weighted down, or damaged even more by the progression of diamonds growing in them.
- Helios Inti is capable of exuding an aura of reiatsu that is tinged with the color yellow. This strange aura trails around and behind the Helios Inti causing the creation of diamonds to form in its wake. These diamonds can be used in the manner of creating impromptu shields or temporary barrier to protect an injured ally.
++ All diamonds formed through this process are at subject to Anthony's manipulation. IE- they can reduced, shift and move BUT CAN NOT increase without reapplication.
Bankai Release Phase-Helios Inti Enkou Kihaku(Incenerate their Soul)
Bankai Description- The custom crafted Nodachi transforms into two gauntlets that strapped to Anthony's forearms and hands securely. They have a diamond guard that extends into a blade that reaches a foot out from the knuckles when fully extended.
Abilities- Helios Inti looses its ability to create and manipulate diamonds, save the ones uses for it's guard and blade now. However, while it looses it's ability to control diamonds, it gains the ability to manipulate and control the thermal energy pockets that have grown upon all the diamonds so far.
Upon it's release into Bankai state, each Diamond that has formed from it's Shikai state will begin to release the Nitrogen Impurity that is within the Diamonds. This will cause the diamond to shed it's yellow color and become it's glorious, colorless state - the nitrogen that is released into the air will become rapidly oxidized, the process enhanced by reiatsu, to cause the creation of Nitrous Oxide in the air.
++ It should be noted that Nitrous Oxide is also more well known as Laughing Gas. Also that while in contact with oxygen it will begin to form Nitric Acid, which is poisonous as well. And finally Nitrous Oxide is an oxidizing agent which can create a powerful combination with Thermal Energy if done properly and in great enough quantities.
- The diamond guards are capable of absorbing the thermal energy from the area around, as well as functioning in the same fashion as the original diamonds in the sense of storing away thermal pockets. It should be noted that Thermal Energy can easily cause second to fourth degrees depending on how chosen to be released.
- Anthony can use the thermal energy that has been stored within the diamonds all this time to create concentrated forms of attacks. They can be sudden bursts of thermal energy that can be utilized as stun/heat grenades that are either situated or launched. Or he can center the energy to create thin beams of thermal energy that is capable of slicing straight through diamond.
Abilities
Anthony, as a member of the 8th Division, spends a large amount of time in training with his Zanpakuto. As such he has learned the many ways and forms he can use both his Shikai and Bankai forms to great use. These abilities range from sheer manipulation of his diamonds to create artificial creatures that can enter combat for him to the manipulation of both the Nitrous Oxide and Thermal Energy to create a devastating attack that can potentially destroy an entire battle field. The technique is known as the Helium Shell Burst.
Also during his trainings he has learned various manners of combat. Particularly he has learned the positions of the pressure points, learned how to combat with both short and extremely long ranged swords, and fight in simple melee - excelling in the arts of Aikido. Other things of note for Anthony is that he has both excellent reserves and recovery rates despite his lack of pure, raw power. Also his photographic memory has come to serve him well in many situations.
History
Human World- Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Anthony always aspired to grow up and be the head of his own Family. However that was far from the idle dream his father wanted for him, always promoting that a true man should work hard and honestly in life, Anthony was put to work in the coal mines with his father at the age of 8. Unfortunately this only helped fuel Anthony's wish to join a crime syndicate and at the age of 13, under the guise of wanting to get a proper education, Anthony would venture out out to join the neighborhood gang. For three years he would work for them, becoming almost like a second son to the head of the family, until one day the very man he chose to call his father used him as a human shield in a gun fight. At the age of 16, Anthony was shot in the back of the neck and was killed without ever really knowing what actually happened...
Early Soul Society- Anthony spent many years working as a blacksmith in the Soul Society, his craftsmanship catching the eye of many. It wasn't long until his hard work found him large profits and... more work. Eventually, to escape his endless days of working, Anthony left his shop to his co-workers and enrolled into the Gotei 13.
In the 13 Court Guard Squads Feeling unfulfilled with his life, Anthony spent most of his time alone training, reading or in the company of Helios Inti. It was through this constant mental and inner training that he found himself able to progress quickly through the forms of his Zanpakuto and eventually gaining himself a Lieutenant Position in the 8th Squad. Anthony is sometimes considered a prodigy because of his capabilities and his youth in both appearance and actual age.
