NAME: Hamasaki Masaharu
AGE: Appears 23, only slightly older since he's, uh, (recently) dead.
GENDER: Male
RANK AND DIVISION: Hachibantai, 7th seat
APPEARANCE:His height is slightly taller than average. He has short, dark burgundy hair; a few strands of bangs fall over his forehead. He has kind, soft brown eyes and is often smiling. He wears the traditional shihakusho.
PERSONALITY: Masaharu is the big brotherly type of person. Quite easy to talk to and befriend, Masa will happily lend an ear or shoulder to anyone in need. He tends to have a quiet demeanor and keeps his own issues to himself. He's very intelligent and more likely than not, has some sort of tidbit of advice. He knows he can't change the world with smiles alone, but he darn well tries to keep a pleasant disposition regardless. When he does drop his guard, only those close to him or someone very observant would be able to notice a difference. He's quick to mask his disquiet. In Battle, Masaharu is focused and calculating. Sometimes he'll get so intense, he'll sometimes forget that things are going on around him and it's not only between him and his target. (This upsets him as he wants to keep an eye on allies in need of support) He tries to rectify this weakness and doesn't let it be known to others.
ZANPAKUTOU: Benisuzume (Crimson swallow)
Benisuzume's tsuba is the standard gold colored shaped like a rounded triangle; the base facing frontwards. The middle is embossed with a shape of a cross. Dangling from a fine chain attached to the bottom of the handle, a cross with a ring. It's sheath is a matching crimson color.
SHIKAI: Saezure, Benisuzume. (Twitter, Crimson swallow)
Initially when he releases his shikai, it's nearly a circular chakram with it's handle across it's middle. It's ends extend a bit past the handle to a point. This is not it's full release. Benisuzume's full shikai release resembles a cross between a chakram and a bow. It extends to the length of more than a meter, and while the handle is still in the middle of it, the blade extends around and over it to form the shape of a bow. Being a bladed bow, it's useful in both close and long range. Masaharu is able to generate red reiryoku arrows and shoot them with amazing accuracy and power.
Picking up a technique he learned from the Quincy, he keeps on his person small vials that he pours extra reishi (that concentrates) into when he uses Benisuzume's abilities. The reishi in the vials are red as well, holding both Masa's and Benisuzume's reishi, respectively, together. While similar to Gintou, He needn't call out a command and can use it in various ways, fore mostly as an extra boost in an attack or as a reishi grenade.
HISTORY: When Masaharu was alive and in his teens, he discovered the secret that his family was part of the presumably extinct Quincy clan. Being the type of person who loves to learn and is very smart, Masaharu studied his findings religiously until he managed to acquire powers long lost for himself. He learned much in the few years he had to practice, and taught all he could to his sister. While he could grasp the concept of their pride, (Not being taught about it first hand as other Quincy were) he couldn't really instill it in his sister. He always tried, wanting his sister to find some pride in what they were doing. In anything, really.
-----------------TBC------------------
OTHER: Masaharu is best friends with Kouyama Riku, and though Masa is physically older than him, Riku's really his senior by a good two and a half decades. Doesn't stop him from treating him like the little brother he never had though. Only Riku let's him get away with the things he does, such as calling him Rikkun. (Not that he abuses the fact, he usually keeps things like that when they're not in public.) Though he constantly nags Riku to get some weight off his chest, Masa has trouble doing that himself sometimes.
Masaharu doesn't talk about the fact that he's technically a Quincy. Having learned of the controversy between the Shinigami and Quincy, he keeps that tidbit under wraps. Rather, he just doesn't offer up the information. It doesn't worry him particularly, as he still uses what he'd learned in battle still.
Though he's firmly planted in the spirit world, it doesn't stop him from thinking about his sister he left behind. Masa still thinks of her often and hopes she's doing well.
