Linuen Frost
Fourth Division, Seireitei, Soul Society Name: Linuen Frost
Nickname: Linuen, Frosty
Squad: Fourth
Appearance: Linuen is described as a handsome, young-looking man although his actual years is beyond his physical appearance. He is tall and of medium body build. His hair is jet-black of color and is streaked with strange, dark blue highlights every now and then, making a very noticeable distinction among a crowd of black-haired people. It is usually kept short for keeping a long hair is frowned upon the Fourth Division due to neatness policies and whatnot; although, it constantly looks like it's been ruffled by a strong gust of wind.
Personality: Linuen is generally pleasant to interact with. He is courteous, kind, and even generous, given the right moment to talk with him. Even though streaked with strong timidity, he is trying his best to be as approachable to those outside his squad for at the times he suffers difficulty in interacting with other members of other squads. Because of this, he can be classified as slightly anti-social. Meanwhile, in the field, it can be noted that he is erratic because of his constant doubt in managing his feelings and thoughts; this is also because of being unusually emotional and easily overwhelmed by the powers of war. He rarely pushes himself in the heat of the battle, part because he is a medic and also of his dislike of blood and battle, and will only do so when his own life is in the line. His inability to acknowledge the potential dangers of those around him due to lack of extrospection makes him a very vulnerable subject whether in foes or in simple conversation.
High Concept Aspect: "Someday, people will know my story."
Linuen is constantly positive on changing for the better. Even though he has a bad habit of over-thinking many things, he usually surpasses himself by his thought of making a change to those around him, therefore making him a well-known figure. He craves for fame and recognition, such those of captains of the past generations, and hopes to be with the lines of most adored men and women of the Gotei. Due to this, he pushes himself to move forward, despite his inadequacy in confidence and pride, no matter how long it takes him.
Trouble Aspect: "I doubt everything, even myself."
The most troublesome aspect of Linuen is his constant anxiety and doubt in everything that he did, does, and will do. This is because of the fear to create a mistake and cause trouble during crucial times. Because of these thoughts, he fails to respond properly in commands because of his inability to properly execute orders that he fears to perform poorly. His growing anxiety in stressful situations such as emergencies put him on the edge and cause his skills to tumble from the best or worst; he may be able to perform unexpectedly wonderful or he may become overcome of doubt that he fails to respond in a given situation. And in the end, that makes him one of the most erratic members of the Fourth Division. Character Relations Personal Effects: Linuen always carry a small pack behind him that holds first aid tools and equipment; he never leaves his quarters without it. He also carries small pocketbooks, which he reads during his free time.
Essential Equipment: He has some tent, rations, and more medical needs in his bag, which he brings in longer-term missions.
Unique Item(s): He keeps a small teardrop-shaped earring given to him by his father. Linuen's Stories Linuen's Background
Linuen Frost was born on the outskirts of the Rukongai districts, giving him a life with not so much privileges or leisure. Unfortunately, he was not able to know his parents because he grew up in the care of a man named Alastor, who claimed to be his father's close acquaintance. Since he was not visited by his parents even just once, he considered them long ago to be dead (much to Alastor's disapproval) and considered his foster parent to be his closest living relative. Alastor gave Linuen what a father is supposed to give his son and the latter was very much thankful for it. They had each other to rely on for many years to come.
Meanwhile, much unknown to Alastor, Linuen grew, day by day, bitter due to the loss of his parents. This struck him different to most of the people of his age for even though they were all living hard lives, they had their parents to accompany them at home. Due to this, he became different, alienated even, but he kept everything to himself. Instead, he focused himself in becoming a Shinigami in order to hide the pain and handicap of having no parents; he wanted recognition that would transcend people's thoughts of his parent-less childhood and become known throughout Soul Society.
Knowing that Alastor was a former Shinigami until his untimely retirement, Linuen sought for his training and mentorship. Alastor felt obliged and agreed in training him for the Academy. The young man trained hard and enthusiastic, aimed with his goal to be known throughout their place and seeing people what he could do despite not having any parents.
Aspect: "The change I want starts within me."
Linuen's Rising Conflict
The greatest trauma that Linuen received was the day when he entered the Shinō Academy. After learning that he had been accepted to be a Shinigami, he returned to Rukongai to tell Alastor about his accomplishment. However, when he reached their former home, he discovered that their entire area was attacked by Hollows and that the Gotei arrived a little too late. Linuen rushed to his former house and found that it also ravaged by the attack and Alastor was also mortally wounded for trying to fend off the enemies.
Linuen felt that his entire world collapsed before him. The Shinigami goal no longer seemed so enticing. The desire for recognition no longer drove him to move on. Nothing seemed so hurtful at that moment, seeing his father figure lying before him, barely breathing. He apologized and cried for growing distant from Alastor and realizing that the only person he wanted to be appreciated by was now dying. However, Alastor asked him to stop and explained that he had long ago appreciated his desire to become known and that he was, not once, ignorant of Linuen's bitterness. Before his dying breath, he gave Linuen a teardrop-shaped earring and explained that it belonged to his father before leaving him in his care.
Linuen's parents were, in fact, Shinigami and were in a very dangerous mission, which they could most likely not return to. Asking for Alastor's word to not say a word about their endeavors, they left Linuen in his care, hoping that someday he could become a Shinigami himself and continue their footsteps.
The young Shinigami held on to his father's earring.
Aspect: "Everything collapsed because of inability to express myself."

Zanpakutō Information Sealed Form Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: Linuen's sealed Zanpakutō takes the form of a wakizashi. However, unlike many who have both have a katana and wakizashi, he has only one blade with him, therefore making him not very advisable for melee combat. Its sheath is pure white of color with intricate circling designs around it. Zanpakutō Spirit Zanpakutō Spirit High Concept: "The power to reject those I do not see fit before me."
Spirit Appearance: His Zanpakutō spirit takes the form of a young man with short, grayish hair. He wears a modified yukata that with long sleeves. He appears to have an air of royalty and regal with him. He moves in abrupt dignified manner as if he is constantly on watch for poise, grandeur, and discipline.
Spirit Personality: He is cold and logical, much unlike Linuen's sensitive nature. He responds only to conversation that would pique his interest and would ignore those questions would refer Linuen's thoughts, feelings, and emotions. However, much as he is insensitive, he is actually a manifestation of Linuen's doubts and insecurities for he guards his genuine emotions from completely overthrowing his decision-making capabilities.
Inner World: Linuen's inner world is a huge hedge maze. In the middle of the maze is a huge fountain, where his Zanpakutō spirit would most likely be found. It is unusually quiet there, as if time stopped completely, but has a serene feeling about it that Linuen is fond of. Shikai Shikai Name: Renues
Shikai Aspect: "The punishment will ever be unbearable."
Shikai Release Phrase: "Banish."
Shikai Appearance: When the release phrase is said, Linuen thrusts his wakizashi forward and turns it, like a key, and a huge flash of light occurs. During this time, his wakizashi transforms to a longer katana but with two blades parallel to each other. Its blades are positioned outwards, so that it vaguely resembles a two-bladed sword.
Shikai Powers: Linuen's Shikai release gives him the ability to produce forces that burst outward in nature. With that said, he is able to create forces that pushes objects, people, or even another force away from a certain point or space. Given the right moment, he can conjure a force that would resemble a barrier for its capability to eject incoming bodies of motion or force. However, it is most essential that he holds his blade during these times because his blade functions like the "target" where the bursting energy will originate from; also, he only has a maximum of a fifty-meter diameter area in which his Shikai could freely maneuver.
