He is quiet to those unfamiliar to him but becomes fairly friendly, though still not that outspoken upon closer relationship.
Biography/History:
The Cub's story
Yoru was a junior in highschool, he went to school with his twin, Zaine and was renowned as a brilliant student and dedicated worker by his teachers. To friends he was a kind, if quiet person who would always lend a hand if needed, he was easily thought to be much more intelligent than his goof off twin but in fact the two shared a similar level of intellect, Zaine just didn't display it often, prefering to be layed back in life and staying under the radar of teachers. Yoru chose to use his brains and was offered to graduate a year early from high school and declined, saying he would either graduate with his friends or not at all. Like his brother Yoru possesed the ability to see and interact with souls. He was with Zaine when he was attacked by the hollow, and saw it kill him and attempt to devour his soul, shouting at the beast Yoru shot a beam of energy at the creature, shocked at this he didn't run from the thing and was swiftly eaten by it, the hollow then returned to Hueco Mundo, sated by the meal he had just had.
The Lion awakens
For several months the Hollow experienced severe pains inside itself, and would hear voices whispering in its skull one day it simply lost itself, leaving Yoru in control of the body now he swiftly shaped it to his will and began his mission of growing more powerful, his new form was that of a large lion, equal in stature to the legendary Nemian Lion of Greek lore, he roamed the endless Desert of Hueco Mundo, devoring all that crossed his path and quickly ascending to Gillian level, almost as quickly did he enter adjuchas by crushing all the hollow sharing his massive form with his will, he became sleeker and smaller, but much more powerful. He occasionally made visits to the World of the Living, but one day stumbled onto a group of powerful shinigami he killed and devored a good number of them but was ultimatly wounded and forced to retreat. Battered and bruised the beaten creature returned to Hueco Mundo before the finishing blow was landed
The Lion joins a pride
Many years passed and Yoru finally had attained the level of Vasto Lordes, around the same time he found his way to Las Noches, he was welcomed with open arms, or rather fearful ones, shortly after arriving he broke his mask, becoming an arrancar, for many months he trained and lived with his fellow arrancar, slowly realizing his distaste and hatred for the most of them, they disgusted him with their vainity and various petty characteristics were abhorrent to his sensablities, and he hated the most of them for it, and himself for calling such beings his kin.
Powers:
* Bala (bara; Spanish for "Bullet", Japanese for "Hollow Bullet"): Bala is an Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate but the damage is much the same. Stronger Arrancar can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.
* Cero (sero; Spanish for "Zero", Japanese for "Hollow Flash", "Doom Blast" in the Viz translation): high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only Gillians, Adjuchas, Arrancar, and the Vizards have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently. Various Arrancar and Hollow characters display variants of the technique, such as the Espada-exclusive Gran Rey Cero, the Cero Oscuras that Ulquiorra Cifer can use only in his released form, as well as the Cero Sincrético performed by Pesche Guatische and Dondochakka Bilstin.
* Garganta ( garuganta; Spanish for "Throat", Japanese for "Black Cavity") : how Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Kaname Tōsen and Kisuke Urahara have also demonstrated the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.
* Hierro ( iero; Spanish for "Iron", Japanese for "Steel Skin"): refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar have proportionally stronger skin than usual.
* Pesquisa ( pesukisa; Spanish for "Inquiry", Japanese for "Probe Circuit") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions very-similarly to sonar.
Resurrección ( resurekushion; Spanish for "Resurrection", Japanese for "Returning Blade"): Most Arrancar have the ability to seal their power within a zanpakutō. Upon releasing their zanpakutō, they gain all of their former unique hollow abilities back, essentially 'resurrecting' their old selves. When using this ability, they essentially combine their human form and their hollow form, incidentally increasing their power considerably. As another note, when an Arrancar uses their Resurrección, it heals all minor wounds.
Sonído ( sonīdo; Spanish for "Sound", Japanese for "Transfer Effects"): the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound caused by Flash Steps.
Self Developed abilities
Elemental manipulation of Wind and Water: Even sealed Yoru maintains a mid power control of those elements.
-Sealed abilities-
Cielo cuchillada (Sky slash): Yoru sends blades of wind capable of cutting through stone from either his sword blade or by making slashing motions with his hands or legs.
Levantamiento , Tormentoso viento (Rise, Stormy Winds): By whistling a certain tune Yoru summons a ball of wind to rise up around him and serve as a defensive barrier.
Congelado sufriendo (Frozen suffering): By condensing the watervapor in the air around him and freezing it, allowing him to fashion small daggers of ice or restraints for an enemy.
Eterna lágrima de la maldito (Eternal tears of the damned): A powerful attack in which Yoru launches a barrage of small water bullets at deadly speeds, these can pierce bank vault grade steel and their small size and speed make for a deadly attack.
Tempestad esfera (Tempest Sphere): Yoru combines a sphere of wind and water, creating essentially a bomb that, upon contact releases a 360 degree spray of icy needles to tear into an opponent.
-Released Abilities-

Role-Play Example:
"What do you want from me Aizen?" Yoru asked quietly, watching the man with thinly veiled disgust in his tone and eyes, the blue and silver streaked iris' displaying his emotions like clear ice in which a leaf has been incased. The young arrancar leaned against a pillar and awaited the response of the powerful man before him.
Aizen chuckled lightly, this arrancar was spirited indeed and the fact he was locking gazes with Aizen didn't anger the ex-captain as what would usually be expected, but it wasn't that he respected Yoru, in fact he didn't end this fool's life because he was genuinly amused by the sheer presumptous manner he was displaying, so for now Aizen could let a little disrespect slide, however one day he would cease to be amused and if the young arrancar didn't watch himself he would end up dead and no one would care or ask questions about it. "Yoru is it? I heard you managed to become a fraccion for Rakey Lamilton the Sexta espada correct?" he asked, knowing the answer already.
Yoru's face relaxed into a small smile, he was proud to serve under one of the few espada he respected and viewed as a good person, "Yes you are correct Aizen-sama, as always your intelligence is accurate and reliable." he replied with forced politeness, deciding that he needed to leave now and wash himself of the contact of a man whom he hated with unbridled passion. "If you don't mind sir, I'd like to report to Lady Rakey now, as always it was a pleasure to speak with you and I look forward to the next time we speak." he said with a bow, lying through his teeth as he spoke the last part of the sentence.
"Hmmmm yes, you are dismissed and I look forward to the next conversation we have as well, may it be under pleasant circumstances." he said, placing emphasis on the word pleasant, the indication of a trheat clear in his tone as he watched the arrancar dissapear with a static pop. "Insolent pup should watch himself, else he is liable to end up in a less comfortable posistion." Aizen said to himself before dissapearing into the halls of Las Noches......
