Well here we go, hope you like him.
I will make changes according to what is wanted and what rank I am given.
Name: Xiahou Zhidan a.k.a The One-eyed Coyote/Blue Dog of Madness
Gender: Male
Theme Song: Move through Me by In Flames
Personality: A pleasant soul kind and generous, his past seems not to have scarred him, though he can be a bit odd at times. Cunning when is mind isn't spinning off in strange tangents. Most certainly not an idiot. Difficult to anger. So a smart good person... if sometimes slightly loopy. Compared with what he can be like when his Zanpakutoh is released, he is positively sane!
Physical Description: Not a particularly big man, I would use the word petite if it wasn't so unmanly. Lithe and well muscled(he is a shinigami!). His hair is a dark blue, bordering on black, a bit like a raven's feather... but more... bluey. It's long and curly reaching the small of his black and is wild though not terribly unkempt looking. He wears a pale mint green bandana to keep his hair from his eye. He has a pointy nose, very uncomfortable to be poked with. He has only one eye, his left eye was eaten by a hollow, he wears a small cloth mask over the ruined area. His eye is a homely friendly brown, when he is fighting it twitches unnervingly. He is pleasant but rugged looking, a combination of looking like a stray dog and an adorable puppy. Stubble problems. He wears one arm out of his robe so half of his chest and all of his arm is visible. When fighting he has both arms out. Instead of a haori he has a short cloak. It is fur lined(black) with a quilted pale green inside, white on the outside with the usual symbols on the back.
History: Xiahou Zhidan has no memory from a certain point, as you will see below aswell Xiahou was not what he originally was called.
Life:
Simeon Fralen was good 20 year-old man, as far as he went, his parents raised him to be kind and generous. He could have been a great scientist but he he lived in Wales and taught science in a small school village. His life was boring, uninteresting. One day however he met a woman in a fast-food joint, a elegant redhaired beauty, like you would see in a film. She seemed nervous, like she was being watched. On a whim he sat opposite to her. She was shocked at this new arrival but Simeon's pleasantness calmed her. Her name was Rachel Cooper. A lovely relationship blossomed.
Rachel never asked about Simeon's background and he never asked about hers.
For the first time in his life Simeon was alive, he and Rachel went places. Rachel had considerable money in her possession. Money she used to travel the world, taking Simeon with her. A happier couple you would have been hard put to find. China was where they stayed the longest and they were the happiest there. After a few years traveling they returned to Britain and were married.
A blissful year went by...
Then the letters came, it was death threats at first, then Simeon found himself being followed, stalked, watched. Rachel's mind began to crumble with worry for Simeon. Their marriage became more fragmented as time went on. One day he was in Cardiff, doing some shopping, getting a gift for Rachel, he took a shortcut down a narrow street. He was attacked, he struggled with his assailant. Simeon was not weak or particularly strong, but in his first fight for his life he fought like an animal, he clawed and kicked. His assailant hacked at him with a knife. Simeon fought well and but raw instinct wasn't enough and a knife slipped past his ribs and pierced his heart. Simeon was filled with fury at the thought that he wouldn't ever meet Rachel again. He was blinded by blood dripping from a cut on his forehead but he grabbed his attacker and with bestial rage born from madness and grief tore his attacker's throat with his teeth.
He fell then, but he felt his body being caught.
His attacker spoke, barely able to do so.
“O my love, I'm so sorry. I wish I could have stayed sane for you... it's over, I'll prey on men no more, I'm dying” She said.
Simeon recognised that voice, his wife's voice, his poor mad wife's voice. The blood was wiped from his eyes. Thoughts rushed through Simeon's dying mind. He looked at his wife's lovely face, below it was her ravaged throat. He still loved her.
“I forgive you...” He said, bringing all of his strength to kiss her mouth. Then peace in his pierced heart... he died.
After-death:
He woke, he saw a village far far in the distance, he didn't go, he waited for his wife... she never came... eventually something found him. It was a Hollow and it ruined part of his face, removing one of his eyes. He went mad, he couldn't get eaten, he had to wait for his wife.
Nobody knew were it came from, all they knew was that it terrorised the nastier parts Rukongai. It attacked everyone but mostly just left them cut up and gibbering in fear. The victims babbled constantly about a one eyed demon that screamed “WHERE IS MY LOVE, WHERE IS MY LOVE I KILLED!!”
A Shinigami who hung about in Rukongai was told about the menace by one of the more coherent victims. The Reaper concluded that the menace was using a Zanpakutoh. He contacted Soul Society it was a weak pair soul reapers that was sent out to kill the Menace. It left them bleeding but alive. The officials deemed this menace potentially useful. The next team was stronger and easily caught the menace, or the One Eyed Blue Coyote of Madness as he was officially recorded as.
He underwent therapy and made a, apart from having no memories prior to therapy, a full recovery. This was mostly thanks to the less than wholesome methods of the twelfth squad. He was however a bit odd and treated any redhead woman with extreme servitude. He called himself Xiahou Zhidan, claiming his Zanpakutoh called him that. He went into the Academy and although he understood kido tremendously... failed horribly went he tried to use it. After completing his training he entered into the 12th division, the Bureau of Technological Development. His bright unconventional (lunatic) mind was quickly accepted in their ranks and through a combination of personality, craziness, power and ideas he was promoted to Captain.
He greatly improved the ethics of the twelfth (which hadn't existed before). Strange things could still happen to you if you weren't careful though, almost no fatal risk experiments went on. Mostly the squad experimented on themselves rather than the previous 'volunteering'. The 12th were in short a much nicer bunch than before... they were still a bunch of lunatics though. Nice lunatics, but mad all the same.
As a squad they are usually oblivious to what is happening in the rest of soul society being too busy researching various things. So it is no surprise that Xiahou was uninvolved in the recent events that were tearing Soul Society apart. He would soon be made aware of the chaos outside his disorganized labs.
Xiahou really doesn't want to talk about how he found out that the way to release his Shikai was to eat his Zanpakutoh, probably it was discovered during some... experiment

Zanpakutoh Name:
Fenrir
フェンリル
Fenriru
Zanpakutoh Description (Sealed): Chipped, crumbling and rusted, doesn't look terribly useful. Is the size of a tanto but looks like a crude dagger, wolf-fur bound grip, no hilt. Bone white blade.
Shikai Release Phrase:
"Devour the Sky, Fenrir!"
食い入るように見る空、フェンリル！
kuiiru yō ni miru sora , fenriru！
Shikai Description: Xiahou eats Fenrir/Fenriru, which then forms into large jagged metal jaws on Xiahou's face. The jaws and their blade fangs are Bone white.
Power1(Doom's Growth/ ドゥームの成長 /do~ūmuno seichō ):Fenrir gets more powerful the longer it is out but in return Xaihou grows less sane the longer it is out, so eventually he would be insanely powerful but unable to think, use shunpo, tactics or common sense. (I suppose this would translate as a slowly increasing bonus to Melee, Shunpo, Reiatsu and Block, or just Melee... or just Melee and Reiatsu... or just Melee, Reiatsu and Shunpo(I don't know which is best).
Power2(Consume!/ 消費！/ shōhi ！): The jaws snap and a larger black energy bite goes forth(short range)
Bankai Release Phrase:
Sunder the Heavens, Show your Claws, Black Wolf of Disaster!
バラバラ天、地図をあなたの爪、災害時の黒犬！
barabara ten , chizu wo anata no tsume , saigai ji no kuro ken ！
Bankai Description: The jaws go black, horns grow from the back of them , Six black energy blades appear around Xiahou, The Blades hover around Xiahou and can shoot beams of black energy (Requiem Howl!/ レクイエムハウル！/rekuiemuhauru！ ). Still has Doom's Growth, works quicker but that means madness is faster coming.
If the Zanpakutoh is too powerful tell me and I will change it, I can't really tell if it's overpowered. (In Shikai Doom's Growth is not very fast, though there is a bonus and a bit of madness when it first is released). In the latter stages it is not functional madness he could do anything, even kill him self or just run off (I do believe if he reached a certain level of maddness the GM would have to use him as a NPC until he sealed his sword again... or runs out of reiatsu) Fenris is very heavy on reiatsu usage.
I get the feeling I need to make serious changes... but that could just be my paranoia talking...
EDIT: Background changed(just the end) to fit with new rank, outfit change to fit with rank
I will make changes according to what is wanted and what rank I am given.
