Name: Masaru Ryou (Mah-SAR-oo REE-oo) Aliases/ Nicknames: None.
Physical Description: A tall, lean and pale man, Ryou holds himself in a manner that a Shinigami of his stature should, back straight, eyes forward, even his steps are perfectly measured at all times. His hair is worn back in a braided ponytail, strands of silver woven in and wrapped around top and bottom to keep it in place and prevent flyaways. Piercing silver eyes always seem to stare through that which he is beholding. His Shihakushou(Shinigami uniform) has been customized, a long serpentine dragon coiling about it in silvery thread, head on the left breast staring up at Ryou's head. Age: 100 (January 2nd)
Zanpaktou's Spirit & Name: Ginhebi "Silver serpent" bears a spirit that resembles a fey woman in a black evening dress that wears a boa that is in fact a silver boa constrictor. (NOT ACHIEVED)
Zanpaktou: A relatively ordinary-seeming katana in a black saya(sheath) bearing engravings of snakes and serpentine dragons. The tsuba(guard) looks like a serpent swallowing its own tail, a symbol of immortality. (NOT ACHIEVED)
Shikai Release: "Shift and swallow whole, Ginhebi." As part of the call, Ryou runs a finger down the mune(back of the blade). As he does so, the weapon seems to melt into quicksilver until all that remains is a floating ball of liquid silver. (NOT ACHIEVED)
Shikai: Ryou is able to control the ball, altering its size and shape. He's able to change it to fit nearly any shape, though very complex mechanisms only have a small chance of being able to work. Regardless of appearance, it maintains the hardness of an advanced Zanpaku-to, and can never have more volume than roughly that of a standard inflated beachball. He has complete telepathic control over the weapon, but cannot force it to fly further than ten feet from him. (NOT ACHIEVED)
Bankai: Dokudokushii Ginhebi "Venomous Silver Serpent" retains the same properties as the Shikai form, though possible volume allowance is doubled. In addition, Every time Dokudokushii Ginhebi injures the enemy, it drains some of their Reiatsu. The amount of Reiatsu drained depends on level of contact. A light grazing is negligible, but a large gash will certainly be felt. (NOT ACHIEVED)
Special Accessories: As noted in physical description.
Skills: Despite his social standing, Ryou holds a good range of ability with various melee weapons, as well as a very adaptive style with both Zanjutsu and Hakuda. Still, he obviously has much to learn.
Abilities: Nothing exceptional for a Shinigami in training.
Personality: Cold, calculating, and precise, Ryou exhibits a vast capability for perception, analysis, and improvisation. Little seems to escape him, facts-wise, as long as he is trying to take in the information. Still, he is limited in his obvious emotional range, and does not often express sentiment or unnecessary emotional response.
Biography/History: 'Born' as a lesser member of the Shihouin family, Ryou spent the first several years of his life being groomed as a replacement for his distant cousin, the current head, in the extremely unlikely death of her and 32 other members of the family. After fifty years of this, however, Ryou knew that at best if he continued with this life he would be a minor diplomat. Such a life was neither welcome nor enjoyable for him, and so he appealed to the family to allow him entrance into the Shinigami academy. They approved, after a period of physical training to allow him to keep up with the others of the Academy. Face is important to the Noble Houses, after all. Recently, he graduated the classes set by his elders, and was allowed entrance into the Academy. To what end is yet to be seen. Ryou opted to change his name and deny taking servants, as he wished to truly be immersed in the world that the Shinigami sees.
Signature/Patented Technique: None.
Guild Status: Member
Online Schedule: I'm on daily, usually for at least 4 hours a day.
