Garanzo

Name: Garanzo, Zaranoa
Age: 23
True Age: 244
Sex: Male
Personality: Garanzo is a player. He flirts almost constantly with any female, even the ones who are trying to kill him. No, maybe he isnt all that good at it. In fact, no, he isnt all that good at it, and so his flirting usually means nothing, but he never gives up.

Garanzo is an optimist, which is why he keeps trying to flirt no matter how many times he is shot down. This also allows him to always see the upside in any situation no matter how hopeless, which sometimes grates on others. He is socially awkard, lacking a filter at times, which makes him hard to get along with, but he does not allow this to deter him, ever, determined to make friends and get a girl, as he so delicatly puts it.
Likes: Garanzo lkes drinking, women, and parties, the latter becase the other two are there. Sadly, he is rarely invited out because of his personality.
Fears: Garanzo hides his fears well. He is able to ignore smaller fears, such as heights or snakes, but bigger, more complicated ones are his trouble. He truly fears something he can not fight against. His zanpaktou allows him to fight back against anything, but when his skill, blade, or kido are not enough, fear grips him.

Bankai

New Name: Yurei Ryu Kamsori, Kumori Ryu Kamsori (Ryu means dragon, so effectivly, ghost dragon blade, and shadow dragon blade)
Appearance: Both look like....

Spoiler:

Abilities: Garanzo maintains his two shikai abilities, but now he can become insubstantial for a whole post with a onepost cd. His smoke is now alo able to hide his rieatsu. He can create a 60 foot cloud of the smoke with a one post cd, it remains until blown away. He can also redirect kido and kido like abilities of those two tiers above him by catching the rieatsu attack in the tip of one, touching the ends together, and firing it out of th other. The attack must be made of rieatsu (ie, he cant catch fire) and can be stored in the tonfa before being fired. However, with each attack caught this way, the tonfa heat up and eventually will start burning his arm. He can only absorb four attacks before it becomes to hot to bear, any more and he risks serious damage and can only catch two a post, but he can fire all of it at once.
He can also clone himself up to four times, making five of him in total. These clones can last until he releases them, however any damage to the clones is damage done to him when they return to his body, and his power is split by each clone.
Boosts: Kido x3, speed x3, strength x2, agility x2

Back Drop

Background: Garanzo was born to a small family in the thirty third district of the rukongai. His family ran a small yet succesful restraunt in the area and as a young child, Garanzo often helped out by carrying trays or making deliveries to peoples houses. He became quite good at this and often had the fastest delivery times, outdoing even his older brothers. However, his speed gave way to pride, a pride that often got him into serious trouble and Garanzo learned quickly that there were plenty of situations where his speed alone would not get him out of trouble. With this in mind, he began to investigate the area. He quickly learned the area and its various hiding spots and soon his speed, coupled with his new knowledge of the areas hiding spots, was enough to protect him. From physical harm at least.

Garanzo hated the taunts, the jeers, and the insults that followed him when he ran. He was faster than the other kids in his neighborhood, why shouldnt he be proud of it? Why should he have to run away? But he couldnt fight back. He had tried of course, and gotten beat up several times. He was fast, but he was still a kid, a small one even for his age. The answer was in his own family. His oldest brother had entered the shinigami academy and was already training hard. Garanzo went to his brother and begged him to teach him. His brother, understanding his brothers plight, agreed and began teaching him a few unarmed techniques and even taught him his first kido, a great feat for a boy only ten years of age. Soon he was able to talk all the smack he wanted and no one bothered him about it, but, then again, no one wanted to be near him either.

Garanzo quickly grew lonely, a loneliness that stayed with him as he grew up. Surely someone could keep up with him, someone could match him? He quickly realized that, no, no one in his neighborhood could, and so he followed in his oldest brothers footsteps and entered into the shinigami academy.

Garanzo excelled in the academy, and again he let the pride go to his head. Again he found it difficult to make friends and was again lonely. But he refused to gve up. He trained harder every day, putting his speed and ability to find hiding spots to use and, upon graduation, was invited to the second squads specialized training dojo. There he met others who also excelled in speed and hiding, like himself, and Garanzo finally felt like he fit in. Until the other members again ignored him. Why, he wondered, why did this follow him?

Despite this, he graduated high in his class and made it to second squad with a reputation behind him. He now seeks to get even better and can often be found....oh wait....no, he cant be found as he practices his hiding skills.
Side Notes: Garanzo is of the second squad.
