Basic Information
Name: Brian Kariko
Age: 21
True Age: 115
Sex: Male
Personality:
Brian Kariko values intelligence, competance, and knowledge. These ideas mold his entire core to achieve greatness or victory.Brian focuses on observing the world and gathering information about it, generating ideas and possibilities. He is very quick to grasp a concept and insightful. Brian's satisfaction comes from applying his ideas and putting them into action and having it benefit in some way shape or form.
Brian's thought process is very individualistic and when he tries to express a certain idea to a colleague, it's usually a direct translation from what is being formed in his mind. (For example A friend and Brian happened to see someone hit their knee. Brian would blurt out something like "He kneeded that" as a pun without explaining why he said it, or say it in a more simplistic form to his pal.) Also, he tends to spend alot of time inside his own mind, which is why he observes and develop ideas.
Brian was never a natural born leader however, he tends to hover in the shadows of an individual he admires or respects unless the need should arrive where he must take charge. If this case presents itself, Brian is capable of taking in what he sees, hears, feels, and adapt to the situation at hand. He is a strategist, scanning ideas and concepts and weighing the odds against other conceivable outcomes if he were to put a plan into action.
He may seem very reserved once you first meet this fellow but once you understand him he tries to be as hospitable as possible towards you. Although he values logic he also values friendship. In fact he values it so much he is willing to put his life on the line for another even if the logical thing to due was to let someone perish if it meant for a better outcome. He expresses his moral judgments quite sternly. Brian is one for Organization, reconciliations, and just having a good time. He is very ambitious and goal oriented. Under heavy stress he finds comfort in alcohol and trying to avoid something as long as possible if he can. Just a drink and a good tree to sit under melts all of his worries away.
Brian is very picky about his food. He's like a little kid when it comes to it. Picking only the fatty foods such as americanized cuisine (Fast food, sweets, etc.). As many calories as he ingests you would expect the man to be overweight and out of shape. His metabolism is through the roof, which is the only way he keeps that slender figure of his.The only reason I brought this up in personality is because he is always asked how he stays so lanky. He talks about him being famished very commonly so I figured I should add it.

His moral judgement is positive and always looks on the bright side. Also, Enzo is very wise. He has seen alot throughout history so he knows a lot.

Shikai

Appearance:
Abilities:
Slimy Synthesis - The user propels a sticky green substance from the sword. The slime is capable of absorbing lower level kidou energy as powerful as a hadou #30. Also, this sticky slime gathers energy from sunlight, storing it in its gelatenous form. The slime is an adhesive so it can stick to almost any surface. Depending on the amount of energy the slime has accumulated, the slime will detonate upon Brian's command within 3 of my own posts. Anytime after that and the ooze will automatically explode. 1 post cooldown
Within 1 post: The slime explodes, causing a minor shockwave that can push a target back 10 feet if they are within 3. Hot glops are spewed from the source, the goo is as hot as boiling water but the amount of goo is not concentrated enough to be fatal.
2 Posts: The blast can send an equal or lower level opponent head over heels from the shockwave, feeling as if you were struck by a massive wave, not to mention the slime is as hot as boiling water, and shot out at a much faster rate in droplets.
3 posts: The slime is now combustable, causing 2nd degree burns if it contacts the skin. The force from the explosion can demolish the side of a small building, about 10feet wide and 10feet high.
(Note: Depending on how much sunlight is emitted determines how fast a detonation will occur. If it is a cloudy day then the post count is doubled for the strength of the slime. However if the slime absorbs a low level kidou then the amount of energy required to explode is halved. Also, seeing as it is an adhesive means that a person can get caught in the goo. Depending on how strong they are determines how much energy it takes to break free. if they are the same tier then if they use half of their they can break free easily. If they are less then they must focus on breaking free and use half to full strength.)
Overgrowth - With a quick flash of green light resonating from the blade, all of the vegetation within a 50 meter radius begins to grow rapidly on all sturdy surfaces (besides people and weapons ). Grass grows to 6 feet in height and trees grow to massive heights. Brian can be concealed quite well in the thicket This ability can mask Brian's reiatsu completely as he travels through the plant life with ease. 6 post cool down.
Smiting seeds - With a quick lash of his blade, genetically altered seeds are thrown across the battlefield (3 at max) and immediately root and burrow themselves. The roots convert the nutrients it absorbs and begins to exponetially convert it into usable energy for his weapon. As it collects more and more, a bulbous yellow tinted bud sprouts from the ground ready to give away its stored energy. This process takes 2 posts before it is ready, and the energy can only be absorbed by placing Brian's zanpakuto on the plant. I would like to mention that the energy is as strong as a hado #50. The energy does not accumulate with Brian's own reiatsu, he must whip his sword at a target within 1 post to try and throw the powerful skill at them or the energy dissipates on its own. To describe the process of releasing the energy in better detail; A green crescent wave of spirit energy is released from Enzo, Brian's zanpakuto. The crescent can travel as fast as a cero as well.
(Note: If blunt trauma were to ensue on a bud of a smiting seed, the bud would explode with a massive amount of energy released in all directions, possibly causing collateral damage.) 2 post cooldown.
Dagna spew - Slender wooden thorns are shot out with a swing from Enzo (1 per swing), they are about as long and slender as a pencil but travel as fast as a bala. These thorns can do some major damage, as far as pierce a body up to two inches if they are on the same tier level. no cooldown
Square Root - Brian jabs the pointed end of his blade in the ground. almost instantly do tough sturdy roots about 4 inches thick shoot out from the ground and surround him in a box like shape. Either the roots wither after 10 seconds or until Brian pulls his sword from the ground. 3 post cooldown

Background:
Raised to honor thy mother and father, Brian did everything by the books. He excelled in mathematics. At the age of 9 years old his instructors found him to be quite a bit more intelligent than the rest of his fellow elementary students. Soon after he was withdrawn by his parents, an instructor by the name on Conrad Eugene Ulysses would personally tutor the child into honing his exceptional mathematical and analytical perception. Brian flew through such simple work with ease with the aid of his teacher, who not only taught him to be book smart, but also let him dabble in the art of zanjutsu, or way of the blade. Conrad was the closest thing Brian had to a friend, seeing as none of the other kids understood him too well. That didn't annoy Brian, what annoyed him is how they reacted after not understanding. As if all of the kids his age were mocking him. Conrad was the only person who semi understood him besides his parents, but half of the time his parents were on a business trip or on vacations without him.
He may be nine but he was not an idiot. He could tell his guardians did not want to raise a child so they hired others to do that. Brian in turn made himself self-sufficient with everyday life. Making extravegant meals for himself, doing his own laundry, even buying his own groceries as well. Every Friday Conrad would come over and bring his fencing swords, and Brian looked forward to it. He didn't know what it was but the feeling of swinging a blade around was thrilling. A deadly weapon in his hand and he could control it's movements. After a quick session it was off to study his general studies. Time passed by and by the age of 13 Brian had won several local fencing tournaments for his age group. Conrad as well entered and placed in the top 3 every tourny as well. Conrad could basically be considered Brian's father, as his own father was never home.
Eventually Brian made fencing a priority rather than a hobby at the age of 15. Conrad taught him everything he knew and he was very proud of him. So proud in fact, that he gave Brian a family heirloom; a double edged katana veiled by a lime green sheath. Now it wasn't a rapier or anything but Brian loved it. He spent most of his time now practicing kenjutsu on a daily basis. He looked up to Conrad immensely as a rolemodel. His only friend in life had given him something he would cherish forever, more than he realized at the time.
Underestimation was his opponents major flaw when sparring with Brian. Brian, who was now 19, operated his own business, which basically was instructing others in the art of swordsmanship, and the honor behind it all. Though he did not do it for the money, in fact he had kicked out many prestiged individuals for their lack of maturity and seriousness. The art of self defense was not a joke. Life is precious and if you thought otherwise then you were not tutored by Brian. Conrad was now his assistant and listened to what Brian had to say. Brian did not treat him badly, for they were still good friends and both respected each other.
He was now 21, and no longer parasited off of his parents fortune. He was now a multimillionaire and well known throughout the world as one of the most honorable instructors who taught kenjutsu. All was going great. But like everyone knows when something is going well then something detrimental has to f*&^ up your plans. A deliquent by the name of Matt Satterfield was this F^%& up for Brian. He had no respect for this art, he just wanted to "hurt" people who he found offensive. Brian was not appealed by this whatsoever, and banned the rich teen from his school and to never return. Matt secretly plans his immature revenge, starting with the assistant, Conrad. One night after Conrad was closing up shop Matt and a few others cornered Conrad, who was unarmed. repeatedly was the man stabbed, he suffered in an alleyway nearby, where he found this death horribly dishonorable. Brian was devastated, however little did he know Conrad's spirit still resided until justice was brought upon the boys and his honor was regained.
Brian had shut down his tutoring operation and focused on his own goals now, which were petty ones. He ran into Matt at a local market, where Matt began to chuckle and spilled the beans about what actually happened. Brian was furious and challenged Matt and his gang to a duel to the death for their crimes and his honor. The challenge was accepted, and Conrad was joyous about how things were coming into play. Surely Brian can succeed in bringing these murderers down. Like a private vigilante.
Sure enough ten days after the confrontation they met up. With the Katana Conrad had given him as a gift he opposed Matt and his friends. He had succeeded in disabling the friends until it was just him and Matt. Nonetheless Matt was scared and Brian was confident. With a quick slash the deed was done, no evidence was left behind. Conrad had been avenged and honor restored. The oddest thing happen though right before he could rest in peace. A horrid growl could be heard. Brian looked to his right to see the alleyway. It looked like it was underwater. In the spirit realm it was in fact a hollow, with the ability to use it's claws to puncture holes in it's victims.
It was after Conrad, but Brian had no clue what was happening. He focused really hard on that alleyway and began to see a shadow. With a quick jab the hollow had managed to puncture Conrad....right where his chain extended. What luck eh? Now this hollow had accidentally made Conrad's process of transforming into a hollow much much quicker. In mere seconds Conrad himself was screaming in agony as a mask covered his face and he grew in size. Brian was freaking out, like he was growing crazy. He had honed his senses enough to see two massive black objects moving in an alleyway...and he even thought he heard Conrad yell. "What the hell is going ....on?" he asked himself. Conrad demolished the weaker hollow with ease, and now focused on his former pupil.
Things were becoming clearer for Brian now. This was no object...but a monster coming towards him. No matter what it was, he stood his ground based on his beliefs. Holding his former teacher's sword to fight him. He could feel Conrad's presence, but it was like a cold breeze instead of a warm embrace during this odd encounter. He was thinking in the back of his mind "Could this actually be....Conrad? Why is he like this???? What the f^%$ happened!" It was clear to Brian what he must do. He must slay Conrad for his own good now. Conrad would do the same for him, no one wants to be a a cold blooded monster driven only by instincts instead of logic. It was a stand off, all was quiet as they exchanged glances. Suddenly Conrad whipped his razor sharp tail towards Brian, and he quickly blocked it. In the process of blocking it, it had flung him into the brick wall next to him. Brian had just developed how to see these creatures, but he was not fully capable of fighting one!
He got up rather quickly though, and looked at his blade. Another slice was attempted by the hollow and it sent Brian flying into a brick wall adjacent of the one before. He wiped the blood out of his eyes and looked at Hollow Conrad. He smiled a bit and spoke aloud. "I know you can hear me through that thick skull of yours Conrad, if you want your honor back then lets do this together. The monster paused as if common sense kicked in. It was enough time for Brian to get in close enough to Jab the Hollow in the neck with the blade. Simultaneously the beastly instincts took over once more, and the tail had also jabbed Brian in the chest. With one last breath Brian uttered his last words. "And both of our honor is now restored my friend...."
Soul Society.
Severe pain in his chest. This is how Brian woke up, grabbing at his heart only to find himself laying in a field on a sunny day. His breath was short and heavy as he tried to put the pieces together. Where was he and what happened. He scanned the area and looked down. Beside him lay his human weapon, Conrad's green katana lay sheathed. he gently picked it up and the forest surrounding the field began to move with the breeze. Brian actually felt like...they were talking to him and yet he didn't understand anything that was happening at the moment. He looked behind him, in the distance there was a city cascading with buildings and a huge plateau where there was 1 major building so why not head in that direction to get some answers. Curiosity killed the cat they say...but Brian was already dead.
