Captain Yoshizo

Appearance

Yoshizo is a tall, fair skinned, muscular, and imposing figure. He has shoulder length silver hair, crimson red eyes as well as hollow mask fragments on both of his jaws. He wears the standard Shinigami uniform, except for wearing a red sash instead of white, also he has a tattered Captain's Haori.


Personality

He usually has a cold, more distant type of demeanor. He prefers to not try and get close to anyone so that emotions don't get in the way of his fighting. He usually only smirks and very rarely smiles, usually when he does it is even more rarely a good sign. He bases his attitude and style heavily off Kenpachi Zaraki as they have somewhat similar backgrounds. Yoshizo is minorly cocky due to his extensive and hard tested fighting experiences. He doesn't mind killing really anything or anyone including both Shinigami and Arrancar.


History

Yoshizo was born in Hueco Mundo as the forbidden child of a Shinigami and former Espada level Arrancar. Since a very early age he has had to fight for survival, lest the various levels of hollow would use his immense spiritual power to augment their own strength. Even before his teens he could fight and sometimes defeat Menos level hollows with bare hands. He has also matched against Vasto Lorde and come out on top. He had to seek out his Zanpakuto and learn about it like a Shinigami would, but he also has a Resurreccion like an Arrancar. He fought all over Hueco Mundo gaining respect from the inhabitants, finally he got tired of it and decided to see what Shinigami were like. After battling several of them he scoffed at their pitiful strength against his, they let on they were being held back in power and said the Captains and Vizards were much more powerful. He forced them to show him the way into the Soul Society, and there he matched against more Shinigami along the way "enlisting" one of them to teach him how to flash step. He, eventually, decided on aiding the Shinigami. He did not caring for what rank he was placed at, but he was granted a Captain's rank. Now he is trying to study Kido to see if it has any use to him at all for combat purposes.


Powers & Abilities

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Having to fight for survival and pleasure in Hueco Mundo he learned how to use his Zanpakuto with great skill, attacking with powerful slashes and always deep stabs.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: As he didn't always have a Zanpakuto with him, he is very efficient and powerful with his own hands. He is able to knock down opponents many times his size and to stop Zanpakuto, Shikai many Cero and Bankai with his bare hands, he prefers to fight as long as he can without drawing his Zanpakuto.

Vast Spiritual Power: Being both Shinigami and Arrancar, Yoshizo has an extremely intense spiritual power. He more likely than not, surpasses both Kenpachi Zaraki and Ichigo Kurosaki in raw spiritual power thanks in part to his parentage, blend of different types of power, and his history of fighting many powerful opponents. Many opponents would not be able to move or even remain conscious in his fully powered presence.

Enhanced Speed: He is remarkably fast with his Sonido and he increases that with his Flash Step skill although he still has yet to master Flash Step. This can provide him with incredible speed, but it has a side effect of giving him intense tunnel vision or sometimes he temporarily goes blind when moving at such speeds.

Enhanced Strength: From his past experiences with bare hand fighting, Yoshizo has built up amazing strength throughout his entire physique. His intense spiritual power aids his strength, he doesn't even know his limits but he doesn't mind testing them.

Enhanced Durability: With a mix of his immense spiritual power and the Arrancar ability of Hierro, his skin is impenetrable to all except for a few upper ranks of Shinigami and some Espada. It is untested against Vizards.


Zanpakuto

Kuma is usually in it's dormant Shikai form called Hibernacion Kuma. It appears as a very long katana like sword but with less curvature. As a Shikai, it doesn't have a true sheath but there is one made and wrapped with bandages worn at Yoshizo's left hip. The great length of the blade allows for a lot of power to exerted through it, the near straight blade also makes for an excellent piercing and stabbing weapon.

The command for it's second stage Shikai is "Awaken." At this point it has the effect of unleashing the energy the sword has automatically been saving up healing itself and Yoshizo both of normally all injuries. The sword also "joins" the fight at this point linking it's spiritual power and Yoshizo's together, thus augmenting both their destructive powers to even higher more intense and more enduring levels. This form of his Shikai is called Consciente Kuma.

Bankai: Achieved yet not pushed so far as to use it.

Arrancar

Cero: Yoshizo has a dark red Cero that he usually fires charges in both his hands allowing him to power it up slightly faster than normal, also giving it more strength and a wider range of damage. If one arm is injured he can fire a Cero with one hand but it would be weaker or take longer to have normal power.

Bala: Yoshizo has a red Bala, often he likes to combine it with a punch to enhance damage further.

Sonido Master: Yoshizo has a quite fast Sonido, not the fastest but still good enough to surprise a lot of opponents. Also, he is currently practicing Flash Step so he could try mixing the techniques together for bursts of very high speed.

Garganta: Yoshizo has mastery of this technique and can move between worlds with it either for travel or even battle purposes.

Resurreccion: It's release command is "Maul." Yoshizo doesn't need to have his Zanpakuto drawn when unleashing. His appearance changes noticably with his Shingami clothes disappearing as well as his Hollow fragments. His head gets adorned with a large skull with a bearlike appearance and attached to the back of it is a large white bearskin. Also a white bearskin loincloth wrapped around his waist held with a solid black belt. His elbows gain guards that are attached to gauntlets that cover his forearms down to his knuckles where they keep a slightly more pointed knuckle appearance to them, these are incredible dense and durable. He can also grow a bear like claw from each knuckle to increase damage, weaken a foe with bloodletting or finish an opponent. Also he gains knee and shin guards all formed together into boot like armor. In this form his strength and spiritual power and spiritual pressure are all vastly increased. He can still use his Zanpakuto in this form even releasing it to other levels for a supplementary effect.
