Name: Ritsu Downer
Aliases/ Nicknames: Ritz, Cap'n Cracker
Age: Appears 22, is actually 37 (youngster XD)
Seat: Captain of Squad 3
Personality: Ritsu always seems terrified and hates being in large groups or crowds. Often, he wont speak or will only speak when completely neccisary. He always seems to be terrified of everything. If you simply tap his shoulder when he's not paying attention, he'll scream his head off. Despite that, when forced into a difficult situation or if something unexpected happens, his personality will do a complete 360. He'd be absolutely focused on his goals, and will show no mercy to people who stand in his way, no matter who they are. Lately, Ritsu has become more open around people, but he still is a bit timid. He'll go to public places and try to have fun, but he still avoids physical contact and socializing as much as possible.
Theme Song(s): (Trying to find one!)
Physical Description: Ritsu has shaggy brown hair that falls over his unusual yellow eyes. His shinigami uniform is a bit big for him since he's scrawny. The sleeves fall past his hands about two whole inches and every few minutes, he has to raise an arm because it droops over to one side too much. His captain's haori is a short sleeve vest that goes down to slightly bellow the chest. Often, you see him with an unusual scarf wrapped around his neck to hide the many deep scars over his mouth and his metal fangs, but sometimes he goes without it since becoming more social.
Zanpakuto Name and Sealed Description: Yuu: The blade is whiter than the purest of newly fallen snow. Carved into the side of the blade in perfect cursive writing is the word Bliss. The hilt is wrapped in a beautiful golden silk ribbon that has become slightly tattered over the years.
Zanpaku-to Sword Type: Katana
Zanpaku-to Element: Light
Spirit Form: Yuu is a stag, around the size of a lion, with lush, pure-white fur that glistens like fresh snow in the sunlight. His golden antlers branch off in a perfect curve. His eyes are normaly the same golden color as his antlers unless he's agitated or enraged. Then, his eyes turn crimson red and seem to glow. His fur turns an unnatural black color that's a dark void compared to the night sky. His perfect golden antlers fade into ivory and become larger and twisted.
Shikai: Accechi Il Innocent, Yuu
Yuu's white blade turns black while the silk ribbon turns bright red. A blinding light flashes at a rapid pace as Ritsu moves at incredible speed, giving the illusion that he somehow teleports to a new place every second to confuse the target. Every time it flashes, he swings his sword and slashes at his opponent.
Bankai: Accechi La Loro Anima, Yuu
Yuu fades away as pure white claws form on Ritsu's hands. A bright light completely blinds the opponent, leaving them with only four senses to defend themselves. He moves so fast, he's a blur, leaping in and attacking his opponent viciously.
Accechi Le Ombre, Yuu
Ritsu can suck the light back into his claws and fire a huge ray of light that's almost always fatal if it hits (it can be easily dodged so he only uses this when the opponent has difficulty moving for some reason).
Sacrificio Alle Ombre, Yuu
Ritsu's claws turn a swirling black and the tips of the blades turn red. Yuu appears in a flash of light, but unlike his normal white fur and golden antlers, his fur is pitch black and his eyes glow red. Ritsu rides on Yuu's back, slashing at his opponent. Yuu uses his razor sharp antlers to ram into the enemy. When the antlers make contact, that spots turns black and it slowly engulfs the entire body. Once it covers the entire body, it's instant death, but it is cured if Ristu seals Yuu or can no longer keep control anymore before they die. It's REALLY rare for Ritsu to use this since if he keeps it out to long, he will no longer have control of himself and the shadows will have him in their clutches.

Shunpo: Flash Steps
Bio: Ritsu used to be very social and a partier back when he was alive, unlike his loner self now. He was such a happy child, especially when his little sister was born. They would always play together and have fun pranking people, playing sports together, and cheering eachother up when they were down. Then, one day, a horrible accident occured when they were being driven to school by their father. It turned out that their father had secretly been drinking and going out to bars, and he got drunk before driving them. He drove off an overpass and smashed into the ground. Both Ritsu and his sister survived with minor injuries, while their father was crushed. Since then, his sister was so shooken up, she would never go outside, avoided people, and refused to speak. Ritsu would always struggle and sacrifice his happiness for her, but it never seemed to work after years of hard work. It appeared that she would always be this way. His sister, Scylla, slowly began dragging him down to her level, til the point he just didn't care anymore. One day, his mother ordered him to take his sister in the front lawn to try to get her to be social, and interact with other children. But, Ritsu carelessly crossed the street, not knowing of the stolen moving truck speeding down the street. Scylla, seeing what was about to happen to her brother, the one who always protected her and tried to help her with all his might, she snapped out of her anti-social self and dove to save her brother. One police officer stopped in the middle of the chase as the others went ahead of him to help the injured children. Ritsu had only one major injury and a few scrapes and cuts, but Scylla was another story. Both legs had been crushed and torn apart under the wheel of the moving truck and a major arterie had been severed. With no time to wait for an ambulance, the officer had both kids get in the car and drove them down to the emergancy room. Ritsu hid in the corner of the room as tons of doctors and nurses ran across the room, barking out orders to eachother. Luckily, they were able to patch together the arterie before she had lost too much blood, and put her legs back together. Unfortunately, she would never be able to walk again. The guilt of what happened to his sister dragged Ritsu deeper in depression. He would hide in the corner of his room, day and night, refusing to eat or even rest. Everyone worried for his health and considered dragging him out of there by force. That plan was quickly brought to an end when Scylla visited her brother. She rolled her wheelchair over to him and openned her mouth to speak. She stopped and closed, realizing that he probably wouldn't listen to words. Instead, she slapped him as hard as she could and began yelling at him. She told him the most cruel thing she could ever say to her brother, to save him, "I HATE you! I've never loved you as a brother and I have never even cared for you as a human being. I'll never forgive you for what you've done to me. So you might as well leave, and go live your useless life!" After that, she couldn't keep a straight face any longer. She swiveled around and wheeled herself out of the room, crying and hating herself for what she had said. But, it worked. The next day, he had left the house and went off to rent an apartment and began to rebuild his life. Though Scylla regreted what she had done, she had saved Ritsu's life, at least for the time being. Even though he started anew, he still avoided people and hardly spoke. One day, as Ritsu was getting ready to go back home to apologize to his little sister for all he had caused, there was a knock at his door. Several police officers burst through the door and pointed their guns directly at him, while Ritsu was completely clueless to what was going on. It turned out that his family was murdered and he was the prime suspect. Scylla had been murdered on the same street that she had saved him from his doom, and they thought that blood was from the murder. They had undeniable proof that he was there during the murder and pronounced him guilty. He made no objection, knowing it was his fault anyways since he wasn't there to protect her. That day, he was hung for the murder of his sister.
Over the past seven years, Ritsu had been very laid back. He trained his vice (who was still his only member XD so sad), he trained himself, and, of course, pestered the captain of Squad 2, Yomiko, almost constantly. His injured arm, caused by attacking another captain after being controled by his own Zanpaku-to, healed completely. Not even a scar was left behind, on his arm or in his memory.
