Name: Raul Shihouin
Age: 785 (Looks 34)
Sex: Male
Division 2nd
Rank: Captain
Appearance:
Raul is a Caucasian male, looking about 25 years old. He has short, dark hair, and brown eyes. He wears his Haori constantly, not because of the respect it gains him, but because white keeps one cool, while black heats one up. He wears a chain with the Shihouin seal on it around his neck, a gift from his mother, and keeps on all the time. He does not wear the Special Forces Leader's Uniform under his Haori, as Soifon did. He instead modified his typical uniform so the torso can be detached, thus not destroying the shoulders.
Note: Got this pic off photobucket and modified it, it belongs to whoever drew it.
Personality:
Raul appears to be quite different from most Captains. He is the Shihouin clan leader, based on his heritage and age, as well as his skill level, but he does not truly care about his image. He slacks often, and consistently infuriates his fellow Captains with his refusal to use any sort of honorific. Yet underneath all of this, he truly is the typical Clan Leader. He is a hard worker, at times, and when he feels it to be necessary. He respects his fellow Captains, some more than others, but does not feel the need to honor them further with his speech.
During battle, he doesn’t enjoy fighting to the death, and thus, often makes use of his arms and legs, much like his predecessors Yoruichi and Soi Fon. He will use a zanpakuto when he needs to, or when he’s protecting someone. He tends to let his feelings sway his decisions, and, unlike most, as he is angered, his abilities are strengthened, as the adrenaline his rage supplies gives him clarity.
History:
Raul was brought up and taught by Yoruichi, former Captain of the 2nd Division, and Leader of the Special Forces. As such, he gained many of her skills when younger. He was a Lieutenant 3 years after his graduation, and a Captain 10 years after. This was a highly speculated decision on the part of Central 46, and was questioned often, and called favoritism.
Raul soon hushed up his critics, however. His skills proved to be beyond all Lieutenants, and even some Captains. These skills only matured as he grew older, and his Shunpo matured with his muscles, as well as his typical combat with a zanpakuto. During the first decade of his Captaincy, he was once called the “God of Flash”. He quickly scolded the officer who had said that, stating “There is only one woman who deserved a title such as that.” Despite this, the nickname has stuck, and he is occasionally called that, much to his displeasure.
Recently, he has taken to training far more often, with the rising threat of the Arrancar. He feels as though his abilities must constantly be in top shape. Yet he still finds time to slack, and often lies about doing something, such as paperwork. He has been attempting to find someone he can trust in the Gotei 13, but refuses to do so lightly. He feels as if one can never be sure of whether or not betrayal will occur. Thus, he does not truly trust anyone, not even the Commander, Saburo.
Zanpakuto:
His Zanpakuto is named Uvarel. When sealed, it looks like a decorated katana, with its hilt having a dark red color, and its blade being double edged. It's release is "Kashou."
When in its Shikai, Uvarel glows a light red/orange glow. It burns everything it touches, except for Raul’s body, so he is able to touch the blade. In fact, it is so hot that any wound it creates does not bleed, but rather burns over, in keeping with Raul’s dislike of fighting and injuring others.
His Bankai ensues as a ring of fire expands over whatever area he wants. The temperature within the ring is brought up to MUCH larger than normal, and the temperature is not felt by Raul, so he is unaffected. If fights go on longer than a certain time, depending on the opponent, the opponent will succumb to dehydration and heat stroke before the end. The fire also heals Raul’s injuries when it touches them.
Abilities:
Raul is widely known for having the fastest Shunpo in Soul Society. He is often compared to his mother, Yoruichi, the Goddess of Flash. In his youth, he was taught by his mother, so he is aware of all of her Shunpo abilities, as well as any hand to hand skill she possessed. He is also able to perform shunko, and he will often use this in place of his zanpakuto, as he prefers using his limbs to damage. Because he never uses his zanpakuto, he is not awfully skilled with it. The only reason he will use it is for it’s Shikai and Bankai abilities. Otherwise, he will stick to his usual method.
