Name: Raile Shade
Aliases/ Nicknames: None
Age: Appears to be in his twenties, though he was created much sooner then that.
Seat: Quinta Espada
Personality: He’s a bit of a flirt toward any manner of good looking girl. Arrancar, Shinigami, Bount, Human, if it’s female, he’s hitting on it. He loves all manner of jokes and enjoys toying around with his opponents. It is hard to get him serious, but when he does he’s mad, he’ll get a dark sense of humor. Even then he will continue to hit on girls. He does not have a particularly complicated personality, things that make him happy do that and he doesn’t really have anything to make him sad. Yet. Unlike his appearance he thinks that black and white are not so clear as people make them out to be. However, he doesn’t care what people have picked. He’ll follow orders well enough, but his personality always comes through first. Don't ever try to make him annoy other on purpose, since he is way to good at it.
Theme Song(s): Chicks Dig It-Chris Cagle
Physical Description: Raile is tall and lanky, lucky for him that this fact off sets his hair. His hair is fine, but it is fluffy with a lot of volume to it. It falls over his right eye with the longest part hitting his shoulder. The streaks of black in his white hair slim the hair down a little bit too, though really it just looks cool. His eyes are inverted for normal eyes, with a white pupil and black iris. There is bone starting from the offset part in his hair and reaching over to the right side. From the top this looks like a hand reaching that direction, but without a thumb. His clothes are a long sleeves shirt with a jacket over it and then the usual hakama. His long sleeved shirt has three black bars on it, one going straight across the shirt and the other two intercepting each other. The jacket has black on the collar and the bottom, with black lines coming up from the bottom. He tends to remind people how he looks is completely different from his personality, and takes pride in his black and white colors.
Zanpakuto Name and Sealed Description: Tejon Libre. In Sealed form this is a very weird looking sword. The handle comes up at and angle to the actual blade, which sports some lovely looking spikes. The spikes are all on the top of the blade, where as the bottom of it is curved in such a way that it is tricky to handle. The blade is entirely black and white, much like the rest of him.
Resurrección (Returning Blade)
“Apaga la luz, Viva en la obscuridad. Tejon Libre.” Over his hands the blades appear, shaped like his sealed description without the handle. On his right hand, the blades are completely white, where as the blades floating over his left hand are black. They react in accordance with his finger movements, although they extend over his fingers by a significant amount. The bone over his right side extends over the right, left, and down the center of his face. Over his eye a black mark appears, making his eye look a bit strange. Since most of his eye is black anyway, is blends in with this mark, making his white pupil the only part of his eye that is easy to see. Makes him look weird but his personality stays the same.
Release Attacks
White Shield- When Raile pushes forward his right hand and says “Para!” a white energy shield surrounds him. As long as his arm is up he can keep the shield up. It is pretty strong since he is using his right hand for this.
Black Lance- When Raile holds out his hand and says “Corta!” a black energy lance surrounds his left hand. The only extra ability that this lance gets is that it makes any thing it touches sticky. This can be both and advantage and a disadvantage, but only the lance is immune to the sticky quality. The stick is enough that it attaches to the first solid thing it encounters, and remains stuck until a tremendous amount of force is used to break it free. Even then, it remains sticky and will get stuck again to what it touches. It makes things painfully annoying during fights, which is how Raile thinks they should be.
Gray Shadows- Raile claps his hands together and says “Vamos.” This creates a gray shadow on the ground below Raile that he can travel into. He can then appear from any other shadow that he can see or has seen before. The tricky thing about the shadows that he has seen is that they could not be there any more. Most often this is used to retreat, though it can be used to duck an attack. This is not a fast move, and looks like disappearing into a hole from the ACME corporation rather then teleportation. He also has to say 'Vamos' every time he uses it, so it only works well the first time someone sees it work.
Note-Command translations. Para-Command form of Stop (informal). Corta- Command to cut(informal). Vamos- Let's go(we go).
Hougudo 1-17
Skills: He’s very good at avoiding conflict. Ducking down into a corner, distracting those involved, anything. He’s also a social creature, so he’s good at telling stories. Whether they are true or not, that’s up to opinion. His battle style is profoundly annoying, since he's bad at it. He rarely plays to win, and is very good at just annoying the opponent into a draw. Either that or he runs away to live another day.
Bio: Raile began life as a boy in Japan. This was far beyond his memory, though it is a part of who he was. He was a son of a single mother who did the best that she could. He grew up lived, and died. And was left alone. For far too long. Considering how he had lived before this was torment. Then he became a hollow. When this happened, he sought other hollows. Any company that he could get made him feel better. When he found himself with these other hollows he was not a biter, but he was very good at avoiding those who were. It was rather eerie. They could almost have him under their teeth, and then he was behind a tree. Finally, he got fed up with one of the hollows and got him. Time as a Menos was much the same. The strange ability to get away long enough, but finally getting fed up. The pattern continued for a while, but eventually he became an Arrancar. And he couldn’t be happier. He didn’t have to duck out of the way of people trying to kill him day in and day out. Well, now he only had to deal with it every once in a while. And now, he could actually have some social interaction for the first time since he was human. His memory extends back to just before he became a menos, though he only has bits and pieces of that. Menos stage he doesn't remember that well either, but after that he remembers everything quite clearly.
