Ryuuto Shirogane

White Fang

236

27

11th Squad

Lieutenant

NARUTO - KAKASHI HATAKE

6'0"

185 lb.

Tall, with a medium frame, bordering slim, and moderate muscle definition. Loose clothing can hide the muscles he has, making it easier for him to appear weak. His skin tone, overall, is healthy. He has a slender face and facial features that can make many women swoon over his good looks. The most unique part of his face, however, is his eyes, the right one being a dark brown, and the left being a bright red with a scar running down the center of the face. However, he keeps it well hidden underneath two layers that go up to the bridge of his nose, and a headband to cover up his left eye.

His hair is a startling silver that shines against light. It's spiky, long, and seems to defy gravity at times, standing up straight. It's swept to his left, and never seems to get in the way of his eyes, unless water soaks it. It stops right around his neck from behind.

He always wears a navy blue, skin-tight shirt and pants that covers from the ankles to his face, with the shirt part acting as his outer mask. Underneath that is a tight, grey mask. During a serious battle, he usually only wears this, and sometimes tears off the sleeves of his shirt. Over this, he wears the typical shinigami garb, and his captain's cloak over it. For casual wear, he would sometimes forgo the skin-tight clothing and wear casual clothing he got from the Living world. The mask and headband would either stay or be replaced with a suitable substitute.

name: Frostbite

sealed form: The sealed form looks like a standard wakazashi with a black and silver linen-wrapped hilt. There is no guard, and is located behind his back.

spirit: The spirit of Ryuuto's Zanpakuto is a snow white wolf, with shaggy and spiky silver fur, much like his own hair. His eyes are sharp and the pupils are blood red. He acts much like a father figure to Ryuuto, often scolding him for being childish. His shikai form is basically a werewolf, with pretty much everything from his sealed form being the same. The only difference is that he can stand on his hind legs and is now as tall, if not taller, than Ryuuto. The personality stays the same.

His Bankai form, however, is completely different. Gone are most of his wolf-like attributes. He looks fully human, with a slightly stronger-looking build than that of Ryuuto. His face is slender like Ryuuto's, and contains the only remaining wolf-like attributes he has (the feral red eyes and sharp teeth). His hair is longer than Ryuuto's, and fashioned to look like his wolf ears. His clothing consists of a silvery padded vest (like the one in the picture), and a sleeveless, snow-white shirt. He has snow-white arm warmers, and silvery metal gauntlets that look similar to the zanpakuto's shikai form. His pants are slightly baggy and a mix between silver and white. Bandages wrap around his ankle area, keeping the pants from touching the bottom of his feet, which are clad in white, steel-tipped shoes.

His personality in this form is very calculative, like an assassin's. Ryuuto's mindset is normally similar, who only uses his Bankai when the need arises. Frostbite becomes less strict on Ryuuto, and becomes more of a friend/brother, unlike his sealed and shikai form.

inner world: It's a winter wonderland of his home in the living, where how it snows depends on Ryuuto's emotions. The snow level is always just right, and there's the light of a fire in his little home when he's healthy. It gets higher when he's not well, and the fire in his house grows dimmer. When he's near death, the snow covers most of the house and trees, and the fire is but a small flame.

release command: "Freeze and shred, Frostbite!"

description: The wakizashi becomes white and silver metal hand claws, with white fur covering the metal plating that covers the back of the hand. There are three, one-foot long bright silver blades serving as the claws.

type: Melee, Ice

techniques:

For: Shikai
Name: Frost's Touch
Type: Passive
Cooldown: N/A
Cost: Low
Range: Blade length only
Description: When anything wet/ that contains liquid gets cut by the hand claws, it freezes. For skin and blood, it freezes the cut, keeping the blood in, but can cause frostbite/dull nerves. It makes it hurt to move the affected area, but any decent heat source can thaw out the ice. Ice stays for 5 turns untreated, but those with fire/heat-based Zanpakuto/abilities can get rid of it in 2 posts.

For: Shikai
Name: Freezing Tornado
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: 4 posts
Cost: Medium
Range: 3 ft. from center, which is usually the body.
Description: Ryuuto shoots forward from a solid platform with a spin, and rotates fast in the air, pointing his claws forward and exuding enough reiatsu to create a tornado of ice and sharp reiatsu to protect his sides. He moves a good amount slower than his own shunpo. He can stay still and create a mini-tornado. Lasts for 2 posts.

For:Shikai
Name: Ice Plates
Type: Defensive
Cooldown: 3 posts [4 posts: One arm, high reiatsu] [5 posts: Both arms and high reiatsu]
Cost: Low-High
Range: Around his claws
Description: He can form a hexagonal plate of ice from either the points of his claws or from the metal plates on the back of his hands. Where he produces it (Claw, weak; plates, strong), how much reiatsu he puts in, and whether or not he uses one or both claws are the factors for the strength of the Ice Plates.

For: Shikai
Name: Icy Claws
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: 3 posts
Cost: Low
Range: Adds another 6 inches to his claws.
Description: Ice forms on the claws to extend the claws. Frost's Touch transfers over to his skill only. Lasts for 4 posts.

name: Winter Wolf's Refrain

description: When the bankai starts, Ryuuto's body is encased in ice. It stays that way for a few seconds before the ice shatters, sending shrapnel everywhere. Steam covers him, hiding his new form. Any headwear, including the headband covering his eye, disappears, revealing both eyes, which look more feral. His clothing looks much like his Zanpakuto's Bankai clothing, the only difference being the shirt coming up to make a mask to cover the lower half of his face. The clothing is reinforced with heavily-saturated reiatsu, causing the steam-like effect his whole body emits.

type: Ice, Melee-Mid, Full body

stat upgrades: which stats increase in bankai and by how much? Only fill this out after you have been given your class/level.

techniques:

For: Bankai
Name: Blizzard Wind
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: 3 posts
Cost: Medium-High
Range: Strong, to 50ft. Weak, up to 200ft.
Description: Six concentrated blades of icy wind, one for each blade on the hand claw, are shot. From up close, everything that comes across its path is frozen and cut up into pieces. As it goes farther away, it grows weaker, but it becomes more widespread.

[From close range, if Sei is 3+ more than Han, freeze is very effective. 2, decently effective, encasing the affected area with ice and dulling the senses around affected area for 5 posts untreated. 1, dulls affected area for 3 posts.]

For: Bankai
Name: Frozen Wolves
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: 2 posts per 1
Cost: Medium per wolf
Range: Appears next to Ryuuto, free to roam up to 5km radius from Ryuuto
Description: A ethereal-looking snow wolf made of the moisture in the air and reiatsu appears next to Ryuuto. Lasts for 3 posts.

For: Bankai
Name: Frozen Burst
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: 1 post per 5 pellets [20 max.]
Cost: Low-Medium
Range: 100m radius from Ryuuto
Description: He can form ice pellets in his hands that, when touching skin and wet surfaces, attaches firmly. With a command, the pellets burst, blowing a small chunk of wherever it attached itself onto.

For: Bankai
Name: Wolf's Melody
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Cooldown: Once per thread
Cost: Really freakin' high
Range: Only body. 3ft. radius for freeze to start.
Description: He pours most of his remaining reiatsu onto his body, creating a thick coat of shining white frozen mist in the form of a wolf. Those who have Han equal to or less than Ryuuto's own Sei, this will cause frostbite for those who touch the coat of reiatsu. His surroundings freeze over every step. Lasts 5 posts before the aura vanishes.

Ryuuto's human life was rather sad. He grew up as a country boy with his father in feudal Japan, and lived that way peacefully until he was 4. His father had taken the both of them to Tokyo, where they were cornered by a group of thugs and bandits in an alleyway. The father managed to fend off many, but he soon fell with a nasty stab to the chest. He managed to get a few last words with his son before his untimely demise. Out of pure anger, Ryuuto charged forward and got himself smacked around like a ragdoll.

Then, as a thug came to "play" with little Ryuuto some more, a throwing knife flew from the side of the alley and embedded itself into the lowly human's thick head, killing him instantly. Alas, the others were too slow to properly fight back their mystery assailant and met their death as well. Ryuuto tried to look up at whoever saved, him and managed to catch a glimpse of a mask-wearking face before he fell unconscious.

When he woke, he as met with the sight of a bamboo roof and the light from the setting sun. With a start, he quickly sat up, clutching the blanket over him unknowingly. Pain started racking his whole body when he did so, and he ended up crying out in pain, clutching his bandaged body. That's when he heard a shuffle of feet, and quickly looked up, ignoring the pain. Who was that? And where was he?

Questions flowed throughout his mind before he met the sight of a seemingly kind man. The man widened his eyes in shock and quickly rushed over to the child, kneeling down and examining his injuries. Ryuuto was scared beyond belief, despite how kind the man looked. Fearful thoughts plagued his mind until a soothing voice caught his attention. He looked up and stared into the man's eyes. They held nothing but pure concern, making Ryuuto calm down, albeit slightly.

After a while, the two talked, mainly of what happened to Ryuuto. After the man pieced together everything, he was stricken with pity and grief; so much so, that he decided to adopt Ryuuto. The man, Ryuuto later learned, was a ninja, taking on different jobs sent from different clients. Ryuuto was in awe, and convinced the man after a few cute pleads and puppy-eyes.

And so, years came and went with Ryuuto training under the man, and joining his new "big brother" in his jobs. About 14 years passed by, and Ryuuto finally reached 18. The man, after years of being a ninja, decided to stop after a near-fatal wound that costed him a leg. However, Ryuuto was still going strong, and created a name for himself as the "White Fang of the East."

It wasn't long after that, after seeing the corruption of power through countless jobs, that he decided to do something about it. He, and a few friends he made over the years, formed a mercenary group to fight against the corrupt. He led the charge as the White Fang, and made excellent progress over the years. It was only nine years, and he accomplished many things, like taking down the upcoming yakuza groups, and revealing the truth of many evil politicians. His name was revered by the poor and just, and feared by the rich and evil.

Unfortunately, all things weren't meant to last. A commander inside Ryuuto's mercenary force managed to get bribed. The traitorous member poisoned Ryuuto's food. The perpetrator was found, however, and was tortured before being killed. However, it was too late. Ryuuto had passed on from the world, becoming a legend among the living.

Seireitei and Onwards...
When Ryuuto woke up, he felt sick. So, the first thing he did was slowly get up, lower his mask, and toss his chunks all over the ground. After that pleasant experience, he lifted his mask back up, and looked around to see many people walking around in a place similar to his home. Some passed him by, while others paused to look at him, before leaving. Slowly, but surely, he got up. He still felt rather weak. And hungry.

When he pretty much said he was hungry out loud, he received some stares, before being led to a small restaurant. He ate his heart out, clearing the small place from its food rather quickly, all while doing so with his mask "on." When he finished, the owner pretty much forced Ryuuto into working for the food. After a few days, he noticed his strength returning back to his norm, and then some. Then, one day, he walked over to a tree to test out his sudden increase in energy. So, he braced himself and punched it, unknowingly feeding some reiatsu into his fist. Instead of hurting like Hell, his fist sunk into it like butter, and wooden shrapnel flew all over the place.

Ryuuto blinked before pulling out his fist, which was glowing slightly from the reiatsu he pumped into it. It soon faded though, and he put the experience behind him. A shinigami saw this, however, and shunpo'ed away. The next day, the same shinigami went into the restaurant Ryuuto was working at, and gave him a letter from the dean of the shinigami academy. After reading it, he packed up what little belongings he had, and set off for the academy.

After a year, Ryuuto really began to shine in the academy with his swordsmanship. As a few years passed by, he made two good friends: Nagi, the class clown, and Yukiko, one of the top students. They did almost everything together for the next eight years of their academy life. They were sure that the three of them would become captains of the Gotei 13. But fate had a different idea in mind...

Fast forward another decade, and the three of them are in the Gotei 13, albeit in different squads, each holding a low-numbered seat in their respective squads. They had yet to attain their shikai, but all three were close to receiving it. It was like any other day in Seireitei, until a massive hollow attack occurred in the living world. The three of them were among the many sent out to deal with the threat. In the beginning, everything was smooth sailing, until Menos came out from out of nowhere. A good amount of the group sent out was decimated by Ceros and sheer numbers alone.

That was when disaster struck. Nagi, who had been annihilating hollows with his new shikai, didn't notice a hidden hollow sneaking up behind him. It made the fatal blow that haunts Ryuuto to this day. Needless to say, Ryuuto snapped. He unlocked his shikai that day, over the sight of his friend, lying in a pool of his blood. Hollows and Menos were either frozen or torn to shreds by Ryuuto's hand. It didn't take long for the remaining forces to regain morale, and push back the hollows.

It was long, but it was done. The hollows were vanquished. But more than half the forces sent were gone, and half of those still alive were badly injured. Yukiko had been trying to heal Nagi of his wound, but he knew he had little time left. Ryuuto stumbled over to both, showing a bleeding wound that cut from below his left eye to the brow. Nagi saw this, and smiled faintly. "I don't have much time left... Pretty soon, I'll disappear... And return to the living as a new person..."

"No! You aren't going to die! You're going to get through this, you hear me?!" Ryuuto all but frantically cried out as tears streamed through his right eye.

But to this, Nagi slowly shook his head. Yukiko already accepted the fact, but still cried as she watched her friend die. Both she and Ryuuto clutched one of Nagi's hand, trying wishing to God that their friend wouldn't leave them. Nagi slowly closed his eyes, cracking a small smile and crying as he continued speaking. "Yukiko... I want you to transfer one of my eyes to Ryuuto before I fade away. At least he'll be putting it to good use..."

Yukiko nodded slowly, with a small smile on her face as well. Ryuuto just knelt there in shock. But it slowly melted into painful understanding as he too smiled softly and nodded. "Heh... Always the wiseass... Better life your new life to the fullest, Nagi. And I'll make sure to take good care of your eye." And so ends the life of a great shinigami, and here lies a birth of an even greater one.

With a newfound vigor, Ryuuto trained himself to the limit, earning himself the feared and revered alias he once had as a lead mercenary: White Fang. He slowly climbed his way up the seats, and is now the lieutenant of the 11th squad. It's only a matter of time before the promise he made with Nagi and Yukiko is kept.

"I see...  Have you tried turning it on and off?"

A moment of silence passed before a loud plethora of thanks filled Akihiko's ears.  He pulled away his cellphone from his ear, and sighed.  He really had to question who was in charge of the whole school district in Namimori. Getting calls left and right from teachers and principals from the elementary, middle, and high school for tech problems even a child can fix can really be taxing for one's patience.  Even his "family" isn't this...

He put the phone back next to his ear and coughed.  "Well, it's been a pleasure to help.  But I'm afraid I must hang up now.  Goodbye."  Before the teacher could respond, he hung up and pocketed his phone.  There was only so much idiocy he could take from his...  "Employers."  If this wasn't the only solid job he had to provide for himself, he'd be infecting every single piece of technology there with bugs and viruses.  And that's his calm side speaking.

His gaze fell upon the laptop screen in front of him now, jumbled with codes.  All the pent up stress and dark thoughts of what he wanted to do to the sorry excuse for a high school teacher seemed to disappear as he began typing up new lines of code, immersing himself in work.

Miraculously, there were no more calls for the next half hour, and he managed to complete the software he was programming.  He stretched his slightly sore body and saw the Spiaggia's Sun guardian walking by.  Out of all the guardians, Hachirou was probably the one he'd like to know more about, since he hasn't really done anything to irritate him at all.

"Hey, Hachirou.  You got a minute?"
