Physical Description: A white haired German boy, Florian is foreign in all aspects of his outward appearances. With a deep, accented voice and poor English, Florian is rarely heard. His body is fit, athletic, and toned, ready for action whenever necessary. His skin is near flawless with the exception of the many odd symbols tattooed on his skin. Florian's face is slightly narrow with an angular jaw line and his eyes are a faint ominous mass of green. For clothing, Florian wears the standard hakama with a rope belt, traditional Chinese shoes, a sleeveless, hooded, haori jacket (different from a Captains), and black finger-less gloves which cover parts of his forearms.
Accessories: The only accessory on Florian's persons would be his many tattoos, if they could be considered such. The several symbols that coat his entire body from head to toe appeared after his death and are, even to him, mysterious and in fact, meaningless; at least for the time being. The only thing known about them is that they begin to glow multicolored, the color of his reiryoku, whenever he is building up his reiatsu.
Personality: A quiet, introverted and solitary fellow, Florian is more of a "go-with-the-flow" kind of guy. He believes strongly in self restraint in all forms and usually isn't quick to act in a fight or argument rather avoiding them if possible. Florian is very strong believer in Karma and typically, he will only act in situations that he and others can benefit from. Florian does not believe in wasting his energies but conversely does not believe in "half-assing" things. Additionally, Florian is always thinking, always creating some sort of systematically efficient strategy or something of the sort, making him seem often "fleety" or disinterested during discussions. Similar to his precision in battle, Florian also practices a precise mind and tends to be highly critical of all situations. As previously stated, Florian is a very quiet and introverted person, however, in the few instances that he does speak, Florian's cleverness and wit become increasingly evident. It should also be noted that Florian carries many of the morals and values that a Buddhist Monk would also live by.
Biography: Much of Florian's history has been purged from his memory by his own doing. It is known however, that he was born in the month of January in the year of 1949 in East Berlin, Germany. During his childhood he grew up under the oppression of the Soviet Union and was raised by his elder brother (his mother and father having been killed in the war years prior). In East Berlin, conditions were less than ideal. Most everyone lived in poverty and due to the blockade many people starved. When the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961, Florian's elder brother committed suicide. The day West Berlin disappeared was the day Florian's brother saw his freedom die and he could not bear to live like a caged animal. It was from this point on that Florian, at age 11, began to raise himself. For years, Florian lived without income or a home. He turned to stealing food for survival though as he grew older this became less appealing.
At age 17, Florian found himself work in a factory where he earned just enough on a daily basis to purchase the bare minimum of previsions. At age 23 he moved into his first apartment where he lived until his death at age 29. It was a cold, damp night in 1982 that Florian was on his way home from the factory. This night, he took a detour from his normal route home and brought himself within a block from the wall. Florian walked for at least an hour along the wall, a safe distance from it's perimeter before he turned to his brother for assistance. Florian had closed his eyes and asked himself where his freedom lay. He knew this answer just as his brother had; West Berlin. Gathering his courage and abandoning his wits, Florian bolted for the Berlin Wall. Blindly he had made a hopeless dash for the concrete and attempted to scale it. A patrol guard had witnessed the entire act and, as he had been instructed to do, drew his pistol. Disobeying his strict orders however, the guard aimed for Florian's head and with a single shot he had freed Florian from the cage that had held him prisoner for much of his life.

Zanpakuto: Florian's Zanpakuto is a highly customized blade in that the blade is a shortened Chokutō, no longer than a Wakizashi meaning that; the sword is thin and features a partial-double straight-edge, with no guard, as well as no point but rather a razor-like edge at the blade's end. The hilt of the sword is very modest as it is solid white with a silver band at it's top and a small silver ring at it's end with a yellow tassel for both decorative and distraction purposes. The scabbard is also white with three silver bands, two of which are fixed diagonally at its end and one fixed horizontally in the middle of the sheath. The scabbard is strapped horizontally across Florian's lower back.
Zanpakuto Spirit: "Kōtetsu Souryo" [Ironclad Monk] A behemoth of an individual, Kōtetsu Souryo is the guardian of balance, the master of equilibrium and in many ways, the embodiment of gravity. The spirits name spawns from its Monk-like tendencies and armoured appearance. Kōtetsu Souryo is roughly the height of three average-sized humans standing one on top of the other. The spirit is also regarded as being void of gender but would more readily accept being referred to as "he" rather than "it". Kōtetsu Souryo is a gentle individual who embodies the morals and ethics of Buddhists. Florian holds the spirit in high regards, calling him "Wajō-san" rather than by his name, Kōtetsu Souryo.
Inner World: The inner world of Kōtetsu Souryo appears very much so like the countryside of the Japanese island of Tanegashima in the Kagoshima Prefecture. This world experiences an endless solar eclipse that gives the appearance of a starry night above rolling greens hills and valleys surrounding a field of craters. The weather in this world is a fair breezy night where the wind is just strong enough to carry leaves from trees. The eclipse is massive and seemingly consumes the sky behind a sea of parting fluffy-white clouds.
Zanpakuto Release Phrase: "Samasu" [Awaken]
Shikai: -NOT Achieved- "Kōtetsu Souryo" [Ironclad Monk]
Once activated, Florian's knife melts down into a liquid substance that travels to either of his hands. As the liquid solidifies on the top of his hands it creates a pair of identical silver knuckle dusters. Kōtetsu Souryo's main attribute is its ability to mimic gravitational forces and displace reishi (solidified or otherwise) as well as gather that reishi around his fists. The brass knuckles allow Florian to function in hand-to-hand combat with an incredible boost in force. This boost gives Florian a 3 fold increase in strength and increases the impact and power of this punches. With his increased strength comes a bit of increased velocity allowing Florian to quickly make a series of blows that are steadfast. The enhanced speed and strength gives him the ability to create minor shock waves after each attack. Without using his Shikai's attack Florian can easily punch through solid rock and bend steel girders and nearly lift 3 times his weight; his Shikai amplifies this to the point where a single strike could level a skyscraper.
Attacks:
"Undou Sapurimento" [Kinetic Supplement]:
Simply by gathering a relatively controlled and compressed amount of reiatsu, Florian is able to throw a punch from several meters away and watch it continue outward like a kidou, though more or less a massive shock wave supplemented with minor gravitational forces, from his outstretched limb. Undou Sapurimento takes the strength and power combined with the energy of minor gravitational forces and creates a physical long range attack that is powerful enough to scorch and break the skin, fracture and shatter bones and knock someone on their a** if not several hundred meters. Undou Sapurimento essentially wraps the front Florian's fists in reishi which then increases his physical prowess. This attack is not limited to long to mid range and is in fact more destructive at close range. The force behind the attack as a whole mimics that of intensive gravity.
Bankai: -NOT Achieved- "Kōtetsu Senkakusha" [Ironclad Enlightened One]
In Bankai, the knuckle dusters on either hand once again melt into a liquid substance that coats Florian from fingertip to collar bone and then solidifies forming a steel jacket. The jacket itself covers both arms, up over top of the shoulders, to the collarbone where it forms a neck guard; every inch of metal coated with ornate and elegant designs. Kōtetsu Senkakusha increases Florian's physical strength nearly 4 times and his reaction time 3 fold. Kōtetsu Senkakusha also doubles as an exoskeleton armor that protects Florian from virtually any impact on his arms or shoulder area. The overall speed and strength creates massive shock waves with each attack and his Kinetic Supplement ability from Shikai is now a main attribute of his Bankai. The most important function of Florian's Bankai would be it's ability to subjugate reishi from the surrounding environment.
Attacks:
"Undou Hirogari" [Kinetic Expanse]:
Similar in concept to Undou Sapurimento, Undou Hirogari allows Florian to extend his physical punching force an increased distance at an increased rate and power. Prior to attacking, however, Kōtetsu Senkakusha, upon non-verbal command, will begin to subjugate reishi which is quickly absorbed. The reishi is then distributed to each of Florian's fist, once capacity has been reached, reishi subjugation will cease. In order to release the attack, Florian need only throw a punch. The punch will continue outward from his fist traveling up to 5 miles before dissipating, however, weakening as it covers more ground. Undou Hirogari moves at supersonic velocity and, upon contact, expands in size in order to engulf its target. The reishi within the expanse acts like a sand blaster and erodes much of what it touches. The shock waves created from each maximum powered punch are enough to level an area the size of a professional sports stadium. The force behind each strike is enough to shatter bone and disintegrate skin. The attack's power itself mimics that of excruciating and direct gravity.

Skills: Florian is very nimble and lithe, he is a master at body manipulation, in battle he maintains exceptional endurance and while he may lack significant strength, his accuracy is rivaled by next to none. As for his strength, he is by no means the strongest but Florian, even at his 164lbs, packs a most serious punch with the ability to lift his own weight and then some. Florian's body was built to "go the distance" as well as endure some of the harshest of conflicts. He is designed for close range, fast pace, hard hitting hand-to-hand combat and maintains this without falter. With few intentions of avoiding every strike, Florian is by no means fast, even with the aid of Shunpo his speed is sub-par. However, Florian is known for his desire for punishment and would gladly take a thousand strikes rather than avoid even one.
Abilities:
Immense Spiritual Power:
This level of spiritual power corresponds to those possessing an enormous amount of spiritual power which is, unfortunately, sloppily controlled. This level of spiritual power is reflected in its ability to enhance a user during combat as well as its ability to affect the surrounding environment on a controlled level, allowing the wielder to use it in combat to startling degrees. For Florian, much of this spiritual power is untapped and remains far from his reach, however, it is one of his most notable assets. As previously stated, his control over such spiritual pressure is sloppy and lacks refinement and Florian often wastes more spiritual pressure by accident than he actually, purposefully, employs.
Reiryoku Sensing:
The ability to sense other spiritual beings without relying on their five basic senses. Florian's ability to sense other spiritual beings is highly tuned and very accurate. In fact, Florian, being known for his accuracy, has the ability to sense reiryoku with such precision that only a Captain could rival. Florian is so well adept with this sensing that he can pinpoint a known individual in a crowd of spiritual beings, as well as, determine the type of being they are (Hollow, Arrancar, Quincy, ect).
Reiryoku Control:
By completely blocking his/her reiryoku "pouring out", one can completely hide his/her presence from other spiritual beings and spiritually aware humans. On the other hand, amplifying this emission is known as spiritual pressure, and is considered a show of force, or even an attack in itself, and it can indeed paralyze opponents, and cause direct damage to the surrounding individuals and inanimate objects alike. Florian can erase his presence completely, however it requires immense concentration and is often exhausting, but emitting a high amount of spiritual pressure is still beyond his reach, as he has yet to tap into his immense spiritual power.
Expert Strategist:
Florian is known to rise to the occasion and act as a capable leader in situations where others would not. With his wit and quick thinking, Florian is insightful and crafty, quickly capable of understanding any situation that presents itself and adjust to it effectively. He is methodical in all of his actions and wastes no energy, as such, Florian is able to act efficiently in any and all situations.
Practitioner Assassin:
While he may have a long way yet to go, Florian has shown impressive skill in staying hidden and unseen, flying under the radar, completely undetectable. He is quite able to exploit having a advantage against an opponent or hiding his presence and has been known to subdue those of much higher caliber, simply through surprise.
Enhanced Durability:
With his exceptional endurance in battle, Florian is able to take quite the battering. His slightly slender frame boasts a heightened ability to take rounds of punishment, showing minimal fatigue. Florian could easily sustain being thrown into or through buildings, smashed into the ground, and even bruised, fractured and broken bones, while continuing to fight near full strength. While unable to block out pain completely, he has been known to show few to no signs of affliction.
Weaknesses: Florian is required to observe a certain amount of self-restraint that goes beyond what is asked of the typical individual. As a practitioner of Buddhist ideals, Florian simply cannot justify unprompted violence; essentially, he is unable to strike first in any situation and instead must rely on defending himself and others. His assassination training, however, almost directly contradicts his ideologies and as such, Florian often faces ethical dilemmas and is easily construed as a hypocrite, even in his own mind. Furthermore, his general philosophical and analytic nature, often make him overly-critical in situations that require conciseness and speed, which he completely lacks; he has absolutely no concept of urgency and would much rather be thorough than quick. Lastly, Florian lacks the ability to take the life of another unless it is absolutely unavoidable and entirely justified. Much like his restraint in "picking a fight", Florian expresses restraint during a fight, even in situations when giving it his all would be required. His belief in never wasting energy often has him give too little effort when it would be in the best interest of his own and others to give too much.
