Personality: Originally Zeno was incredibly flippant, mouthing off to the most powerful of enemies, and generally enjoyed rubbing people the wrong way. He does mature somewhat as time goes by, but never really loses the attitude. Zeno is also seemingly unflappable, never seeming to be outwardly fazed by anything.
Zeno can seem at times to be uncaring, or even callous. However, he actually has a very strong sense of right and wrong, and prefers to fight fair. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he is making quips the entire time. Zeno is very flirtatious as well andf can be constantly seen picking up women.
Background/History:Zeno was born a shinigami in a very poor part of the Rukongai ditrict. He grew up on mostly stealing food, he felt terrible doing so but he knew of no other way to survive and so he cried all the while because of the wrong he has a commited. One day he was caught stealing by a soul reaper and was about to be executed on the spot, but the immense spiritual energy emanating from Zeno surprised the shinigami and he was offered a chance to join the academy.
While in the academy he wasn't very liked, mainly due to the tendancy to insult his peers and higher ups, but he was very adept at sword combat and controlling his spiritual energy. Zeno soon recieved his zanpakuto and was able to use it well in little time. After his graduation he was put in the seventh division where he stood for some time. Afterwards he grew tired of always just following orders and not having much excitement. One night he left the soul society without a final word.
He took residence in Karakura town, slaying hollows whenever found or requested by any of the citizens. He found this life to suit him best seeing as he was doing what was right, useful and exciting. Soon he found out something important, the hollows were getting stronger and Zeno's power came to what he saw as a stand still. He made the decision to learn some new tricks and gain hollow powers. Despite his hatred for hollows and sense of justice he saw this as a great oppurtunity. He isolated himself in a deep cave in the mountains and meditated, looking insde himself for another being he could feel, his inner hollow. His inner hollow battle was one he has done on his own. Zeno faced a wicked being that wanted nothing more than for Zeno's being to become ash. To Zeno's surprise he feared his inner hollow and now understood why he felt the need to stay far from society for the duration. His inner hollow battle went on for a long time before Zeno finally grew strong enough to control his inner hollow. He remains in Karakura town destroying hollows whenever given the chance.
Zeno soon figured that Karakura wasn't the only place being attacked. He traveled the world protecting humans from hollow atacks and also gaining knowledge along the way. Zeno soon returned to Karakura with new intentions after seeing the world several times over.
RP Sample:Zeno stood perched on the tower, the rain poured on him, he could feel it digging into his skin, almost like nails piling on. Zeno could tell this was the city that never slept. The lights shown bright all night, it amused him how busy thesehumans were constantly. He looked up into the sky and watched the rain fall. Thoughts ran through Zeno's head fast. What was he really fighting for? Did he actually care for the humans? Or was he just being selfish in himself and only wanting to fight the hollows for his own sake of boredom or security? Sometimes it really didn't matter, it was what he did and he did it best. Alastor began to spark on his back. It's eerie blue light shone forward as it always did. He looked forward again as he heard a scream in fear. This was what he lived for.
Zeno leapt down and flew downards with the rain. He knew where he was going and followed his path. The elecricity surged from the sword thorught his body. The same tingling feeling he was oh so used to. His hand surged with electricity. He held the power strongly in his hand. He turned and began to lead with his hand. He stood up straight in the air and bent his legs up. He held his arm high. He began to see the streets more clearly and the sense he felt was unmistakable. He shut his eyes while falling. He hit the ground witha large thud as he landed on his feet crouching, he could feel the lightning in his hand cut right through the rough skin of the hollow. He stood straight up and looked up at the monster. He could see the deep line from it's shoulder to the side of it's leg, he was off. The hollow spilt from the line and disappeared. Two others stood behind it.
Zeno chuckled a bit,
"A party? Without me? I'm disappointed. C'mon fellas, stop pressuring the girl. No means no." The two imposing figures rushed at him fast. He jumped over them with relative ease and landed on the other side. He snapped his fingers as a lightning bolt shot out at them, but they didn't budge. They turned back around, their savage eyes atuned to him. Zeno cracked his neck and waited for their move. One ran again, Zeno held out his hand as a half dome of surging blue energy appeared, blocking the hollow. The other seemed smart and jump Zeno. He turned around to meet him and drew his Zanpakuto, Alastor, from his back. He ran dragging the blade on the floor, the sparks flew and mixed with the rain. He swung, but the hollow hit the blade away. As it swung again Zeno hopped up onto the hollows head, he gripped his hands on the beast and surgedallof the electricity left from Alastor into the hollow. Surley he knew the rain would add to the effectivness. The hollow toppled as Zeno fell off of it, landing on his feet. The hollow behind him charged it's red cero in it's mouth. Zeno stood there unfazed. The hollow was about to execute it's attack. Alastor fell hard charged with electricty, cutting the hollow in half. The broad blade stabbed into the ground.
"I could've moved you know." Zeno chuckled subtly.
"Yeah yeah yeah."Zeno walked back around and picked up the blade and looked at the face of the shocked woman, looked like she shit her pants. He smiled as he knew now why he was doing this. He shunpoed away fromthe woman's sight.
