Roiben Tsuihou, the Hogyoku Vizard

[Roiben]

Name: Roiben Tsuihou
Age: Appearance: 190 Actual: 210
Gender: Male
Personality:

Roiben is a major smart ass. The way he acts toward other shinigami can sometimes be seen as cold, but he thinks of it as tough love. Many people don't like him on first impression because of this, but he cares about other shinigami and will do anything needed to help protect them. Despite this sense of duty, he's very lazy. He'll do what he's asked to, but he won't always be all smiles about it.

Roiben cannot stand snobby nobles like Byakuya Kuchiki. Having to work for what he achieved in life, he finds it wrong that some people just have things handed to them.

Roiben is very smart, and also very analytical. Due to this, he can catch on to suspicious behavior quick. He can also see his opponents fighting style and counter his opponents moves more quickly.

Also, on the inside, he feels alone, and has resentment for these feelings. He feels they make him weaker mentally, and are very unbecoming of a leader of the gotei 13. Still, he can't help but to have these feelings.

History/Background:

Roiben has no memory of his human life. However, his earliest memories are memories that he holds on the inside. Memories of a lonely, hateful life. His life as a hollow, before being purified and becoming a shinigami.

His earliest memory is waking up as a hollow, feeling nothing more than the need to consume human souls and other hollows. He was a very smart and crafty hollow, evading capture from shinigami for 75 years. At this point, he began a transofrmation into a new class of hollow--a Gillian Menos class hollow.

As a Gillian, consuming other hollows became much easier. He could consume much more much more quickly, and eventually became an Ajuchas. However, this is were his evolution stopped. One day, he was confronted by a shinigami named Aizen, and purified. However, instead of losing his sipiritual pressure, he was somehow able to keep it.

He remembers waking up in Rukingai, walking around, taking in the sad realization of how hard life was here, whether you tried to make an honest living or not. Roiben, against his will and morals, took the life of crime, having no way else to survive, stealing food from local vendors. He wasn't proud of this, but he needed to do what he needed to do. One day, however, he was approached by some seated shinigami from the gotei 13, and taken to the shinigami academy, changing his life forever.

Upon entrance to the academy, he was placed in the regular class. He trained long and hard, wanting to become the best he possibly could be. His strongest areas were kidou and hoho, which came almost naturally to him. He was average in Zanjutsu, but below average in hand to hand combat. After two years in the academy, he was moved up to the advanced class due to his quick rate of growth. He spent the next 3 years in the advnaced class, and graduated a year early from the academy. His connection with huis zanpakuto spirit was great enough that he had learned his zanpakuto's name shortly after graduation. He was originally going to be assigned to the onmitsukido, but the gotei was lacking in recruits, so he was placed in the 12th division.

Life in the 12th division was great for Roiben. Hw worked exceedingly hard in his duties and his training, and was promoted much faster than most shinigami. He was considered a prodigy by other shinigami. He also had a great relationship with his captain. However, he still held a guilty concious from his life in rukongai 80. Since he was earning wages for his work, he began to repay the vendors he had stolen from, and gave them extra because of the inconvenience he caused them. Some were so grateful he had done this, they gave him small discounts on their products. Withing the next 10 years, he had been named 7th seat of his division.

Training for Roiben became that much harder after a while. It took him the next 10 years of training just to make 3rd seat. After studying though loads of documents from previous captains, he found a method to obtain bankai in a matter of 3 days. He read more through the notes, and, following the instructions, re-created the device. After training with his zanpakuto spirit for 3 days, he still hadn't obtained his bankai. He decided to extend the training, knowing the risks. He wanted to power to destroy that espada. After the fourth day, he gained his bankai, but in the process, lost his sight. He trained for an additional 10 years after that to master his bankai. Afterr that, he took the captains proficincy test, passing.

RP Sample:

Roiben woke up in his office, looking around and rubbed his eyes. Dammit. He fell asleep mid work again. It was night time. He looked at the massive mess on his desk, thanks to his mid day nap. Roiben sighed as he began to shuffle his papers back in order.

As he began to reshuffle his papers, he thought about matters of the past. He knew he wasn't born in the soul society, but he couldn't remember his previous life. Perhaps he would stop by that freak Kurotsuchi's office soon. That madman must know some way to help him with his memories.

Anyway, in more important matters, Aizen had been defeated at long last. He knew things wern't back to normal. He knew the espada would rise again and come to bother them. Starrk, Halbiel and Ulquiorra had all escaped alive. In the morning, he would begin squad coordination training.

Roiben walked out of his office after reordering his paperwork. Tomorrow was gonna be a long day for the 2th division. They were gonna train long and hard. Whatever threat that was going to come next would probably be even more deadly than Aizen was. They needed to be ready.
