Full Character Name: Razgriz Hremsfeld
Pronunciation:
Razgriz: pronounced Rawz-greez (It's a short "a," and the "i" makes a long "E" sound.
Hremsfeld: pronounced Rems-felled (the "H" is silent.)
Gender: Male
Theme Song:
For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) by AC/DC
The Trooper by Iron Maiden.
Physical Description: Standing 6'5" tall, Razgriz wears a sleeveless Captain robes. He has strong, rippling muscles, much like you'd expect to see on an Ancient-Greek Spartan (Not an armored rip-off from the future). He also wears his dogtags in plain sight, and has western combat boots on his feet. His dark brown hair, a sharp contrast to his pale skin, is buzz cut, extending a quarter of an inch away from his head. (This has earned him the nickname "Capt. Buzz-Cut") His face is plain and easily forgettable (except for the golden eyes with black "whites"), but sports a goatee. His neck has a scar half an inch away from his jugular due to shattered glass going mach one. He is half-Russian on his mother's side, half-Icelandic on his father's, and died at age 25.
Personality: Razgriz tends to keep his own company, can be lax when it comes to swearing, and is often blunt and to the point. However, he has his good days, and can even occasionally crack a joke, even though they usually fall flat. If someone's trying to make him mad, however, he rather enjoys turning it around on them.
Despite being largely even-tempered while not in combat, if someone makes him mad, things usually don't end well for that someone; he is known to fly into a berserker rage and hack at his target until it is little more than an unrecognizable mass of bloody meat, not even noticing any pain he suffers along the way.
When calm, he uses a combination of his fencing skills and height by drawing an enemy's attention to him (usually by stabbing it), thus letting the stealthy sneak silently by and ninja the Hollow. Due to the inevitable snot that the meanies try to beat out of him, he has also learned how to be a very strong defensive fighter. He acts very much like a tank, not even attempting to hide, and confident that he can withstand an attack then counter with a stronger one.
Character Background:
Born in a small town in Connecticut, Razgriz developed a strong simultaneous interest in the Samurai and the European knights. Throughout his life, his friends haven't been high in number, but they've always stuck with him. He was salutatorian and Varsity Fencing Captain in his high school class, was accepted into the United States Air Force Academy, was Fencing Captain there, too, and graduated valedictorian. As a fighter pilot, he was promoted to Lt. Col in record time, due to several incidents involving attacks by a mercenary squadron, the Black Knights, during one of the wars in the Middle East; no one can keep track of those anymore.
However, the mercenaries that made his life also were the end of it. On a routine patrol, Razgriz received a call to intercept a squad-mate defecting to the Black Knights. His Russian-built Sukhoi 37 quickly caught up to the defector's F-22, call sign Mobius One. However, Mobius opened missile fire; weaving through the field, Razgriz got into gun range.
The two combatants pushed their crafts to the limits in an almost-movie-style turn-and-burn dogfight, striving to get in that single fatal shot. Maneuvers were pulled off that didn't even have names; by all accounts, they shouldn't have even been possible. Contrails from one jet's wings sliced through the contrails of another, the very sky itself seeming to be in combat. Their epic battle ensued for over thirty minutes, with neither gaining a decisive advantage. Eventually, they somehow found themselves coming at each other, head on, in a modern version of a joust. Both open fire with their chain guns, rounds streaking through the skies, seeking metal, finding air. They passed by each other, 50 feet apart at half the speed of sound, circled around sped up, and tried again. This time, at Mach One, a burst of Ragriz's chain gun fire struck Mobius One's wing, severing the fuel and hydraulic lines, thereby removing his craft's ability to turn or burn.
The defecting pilot pulling the ejection handle on his doomed craft, but, due to the angles and speeds involved, his canopy blew right in front of Razgriz. Turning towards his wounded foe to evade, the aforementioned pilot's canopy was suddenly shattered by Mobius One's ejection seat, and his body was suddenly smushed. Mobius one, who got sucked into Razgriz's jet engine (which promptly exploded), didn't fare any better.
Razgriz, having just had the unique experience of being shot by a flying chair, had another one, namely fighting while free falling from 35,000 feet. Due to the strong emotions inherent to continually fighting Mobius One, both their Chains of Destiny degraded rapidly. Five seconds after landing, Mobius One had become a Hollow. Luckily, a conveniently placed shinigami's conveniently placed zanpakuto hilt (barely) spared Razgriz that fate.
Awakening in the 27th district, the first thing Razgriz did was scream and utterly freak out. With that taken care of, he set about learning what the fuck just happened to him. A well-informed passer-by, going by the name of D.P., patiently explained all he needed to know, including the fact that his oddly colored eyes are the only Hollow characteristics he shows. He graduated from Shinigami academy as a Vice-Captain, and was assigned to Capt. Breyer's squad.
During an ill-fated mission to the real world, co-insiding with an invasion of Sereitei by Hollows and Rogues, Capt. Nakasaka's Reiatsu was absorbed by an extremely powerful Hollow and then he was shot by a Cero blast. Because of those injuries, the Captain died. Back in Sereitei, Capt-Cmdr. Sato asked Razgriz if he wanted the position, and the offer was accepted. Hoping he can fill the hole in the chain-of-command, he is determined to not lose the people under his command, similarly to when he was alive.
The local Russian nut-job, as he's also known, is going through a bad time. He had to track down and fight his former captain, who went rogue and escaped into Hueco Mondo with her former captain. In addition, one of his seated officers, Galm Ingram, snuck into a captain's meeting with Hotaru Takahashi and proceeded to get into a catfight with her. Quite the embarassing situation.
If that wasn't bad enough, he played pinball with several buildings in Seireitei due to being shot by cero blasts, and oh yeah, THERE WERE MENOS IN SEIREITEI. Eventually, being Razgriz, he got past them (but managed to get into a dogfight with a raven adjuchas, the hollow of a famed fighter pilot) along with Capt. Tahoshi to update/protect the Captain-Commander.
However, by the time they got there, he had already been slain by one the aforementioned former-but-now-rogue captain. Who, did we mention, unlocked her bankai and demonstrated it on Captains Razgriz and Tahoshi?
Being completely unprepared for her and her bankai's onslaught, the two captains were losing ground, inch by inch. From seemingly nowhere, however, just before she could deliver a killing blow to Tahoshi, Juno seemed to come to her senses. Having all the memories of what she'd done while rogue, she went into a fit of extreme depression, attempting - and darn near succeeding - in slitting her own throat before being talked out of it. Kyuuketsuki letting loose a burst of reiatsu and reminding her of a reason to continue helped, too.
Currently, he is patrolling Seireitei, looking for any hollow still alive; the massive amounts of hollow reiatsu he'd been exposed to have slightly augmented his ability to sense it (and has given him slightly better control over his own reiatsu, in terms of performing kidou), the clashing of blades made him slightly better there, and the sheer exhaustion will act similar to doing cardio on Earth by increasing his reiatsu...once it recovers.
Squad:
Third squad is the Specialization Squad, in that its members either specialize in one thing and suck outright at everything else, or put equal emphasis on everything and overall are merely mediocre.
The Vice-Captain is the stealthy (and, somehow, clumsy
) Rikka.
The seated officers include:
Skills:
Melee (Weapons Specialist): {80, (100/88Oplot), [104/92]} 105 (125/110) [130/115]
Kidou: 10
Shunpo: 5 [0
]
Reiatsu: {20 Available at once} 100 (110) [130]
Block: {48} 60 (65/80) [80/95]
Sense Reiatsu: 5
Hide Reiatsu: 5
Health: 140
For those who haven't noticed, when angry, one is far more aggressive than when they're calm. Bearing that in mind, Captain Buzzcut, being a beserker-trying-to-tank, can knock aside far more attacks when he's calm than when he's all "I'm going to hack you into bits and grill them for lunch!!" Of course, this comes at the expense of attacking, like how it's much harder to kill someone in cold blood then when you're ticked off. Erm, so I hear.

Zanpakutoh:
Name: Todesannaherungen (Death Approaches)
Description: A fairly standard Nodachi (Two-handed katana). The sheath is on Razgriz's back, and can potentially be used to block another Zanpakutoh slash. Despite being a Captain's zanpakutoh, the two rarely talk, except after a good fight.
Shikai:
Incantation: Bring them full circle...Todesannaherungen!
Physical description: Razgriz's Zanpakutoh bends into the shape of a sickle and turns crimson. Due to its shape, it's easily capable of stopping an attack, knocking a foe's weapon out of their hands, and slicing their head off their neck. Very sharp, very hard. Swordsmanship increases greatly (20 points), and blocking is augmented slightly (5 points).
Special Attacks:
Ten-Hut!: Todesannaherungen fully straighten himself out, thus giving an extra foot of reach to Razgriz.
Constrict: Todesannaherungen wraps itself completely around an object (like a sword or pipe) in order to rip it out of its wielder's hands/swing on it. Also useful for crushing enemies with tough skin. Click here for a Rukia-class diagram.
Shikai Shift
Shift Phrase: "Oplot, Todesannaherungen."
Shift Description: Only usable after entering his standard shikai, Oplot turns Todesannaherungen into a large five-pointed star shield, still crimson, but with a yellow border. The shield is slightly convex, so attacks deflect off of it, leaving the attacker off-balance and unable to block a still-sharp side from entering their neck. Compared to when his zanpakutoh is sealed, Block is cranked up (20 points), and swordsmanship gets a minor lift (5 points). Of course, it is possible to revert to standard shikai by simply saying the release phrase again.
A view from straight-on.
Bankai:
Incantation: Chivalry and Bushido: Become as One! Bankai!
Razgriz's dogtags spread themselves over Razgriz's body, effectively forming an entire suit of armour. While in appearance it is a combination of knight and samurai armor, on a molecular level this is made out of the same material as Razgriz's zanpakutoh, and again fortified by his reiatsu. In addition, a shield made of the same material appears on the armor of Razgriz's left arm. The armour, being über-hard, heavily fortifies block (15 points). Due to channeling Bushido, Swordsmanship is also bolstered (5 points). However, the armour has the side-effect of utterly eliminating his ability to flash jump.
Special Abilities: Todesannaherungen can still be fully manipulated while on Razgriz, and so thus the armour can be moved around on him somewhat to fortify against an attack without needing to waste reiatsu, can sacrifice some defense to add some length to his reach, or grab a weapon that makes contact and allow Razgriz to use it against its owner. Also: If entering bankai from the Oplot form of his shikai, Razgriz wields a shield in each hand.
