Name: Haruki Kato
Age: 400 appears to be 18
Appearance: Haruki wears long black trouser pants and a black zip up hoodie with a white design on the front. His shoes are black and white lo-cut converse sneakers. He has black hair that comes down to the bottom of his head usually worn in a straightened fashion. He has a rather slender build and always seems to have a blank expression. His eyes are brown and are layered with black eyeliner. His fingernails and toenails are painted black. He also sports a lip ring on each side of his lip and has three rings up the side of each ear.
Masked Appearance: His eyes are black with gold pupils and his white mask completely covers his face. His mask looks rather sad and lonely with a constant look of melancholy projected on his emotion. He has two black lines coming from the bottom of his eyes almost as if they were black tears.
Character Type: Vizard
Zanpakuto: Haruki's zanpakuto is called Oite Ankoku (in darkness). When he is not in a public place, he wears Oite Ankoku horizontally across his lower back just above his buttocks. It is a smaller type of katana about two thirds the size of a normal zanpakuto. Haruki rarely releases his zanpakuto as he usually relies on his masked powers to fight opponents.
Oite Ankoku's true form is that of a young girl with long black hair and a black dress. She wears dark, black eyeliner and her skin is very pale. She has black lipstick and just like Haruki, she bears a melancholy look upon her face at all times.
- Shi-kai: Summoned by the command, 'Spill blood, Oite Ankoku'. The zanpakuto starts to glow a deep, blood red colour and becomes about a foot longer making it a complete metre and a half in size.
- Ban-kai: The ban-kai version of Oite Ankoku turns into a large amount of red energy that continually surrounds Haruki's being. The red energy is made up of an intense amount of reiatsu, capable of blocking a shi-kai and most ban-kai level attacks with ease and at an incredible amount of speed. Since it protects Haruki of its own will, it will protect him even if he were sleeping or under control of a binding art. To eliminate the threat posed upon Haruki, Oite Ankoku when in ban-kai state will even chase down and attack the enemy of its own will. When a situation becomes serious however, Haruki can take complete control of his zanpakuto and use it as a full body shield that resembles an orb of red energy surrounding his body or he can aim it toward his enemy with his hands.
The release sequence itself simply creates the imagery of a black rain that begins to fall as Haruki's form will glow a blood red colour completely. After a moment, Haruki will stop glowing and will be wearing a full body black cloak with red accuentuations and insignia printed on the back. Dark crimson markings almost that of an ancient language appear upon his face as his eyes glow completely red.
Abilities:
*Cero Blast: Energy that is released as a projectile from his hands only.
*Sonido: Similar to shunpo but it leaves a static sound as Haruki moves around.
*Hougyo Keiji (Demise in Revelation): A unique ability that Haruki created and perfected over the past 100 years. The vizard creates an illusion of complete darkness to his enemy allowing him to move freely around his opponent and to attack without any warning. The trick however, Haruki is able to use this ability without even encountering his opponent in the first place, giving him the surprise attack and leaving his opponent utterly confused and vulnerable.
*Kuro Ranpu (Dark Light): Haruki creates a dome of dark energy that surrounds him and acts somewhat like a black hole, drawing in nearly everything in a certain radius. When initialized, Haruki is not able to move his position until the end of the technique.
*Kuro Shouheki (Dark Barrier): Dark energy forms a 2 metre high wall of energy that surrounds Haruki and his opponent, forcing them to duel in a round battle field that consists of about 100 metres of space in each direction. This technique is also capable of draining reiatsu from his opponent slowly over a period of time.
*Kuro Kyuutai Matsuro (Dark Orb of Fate): Haruki holds out his hand as the surrounding environment become an inverted version of black and white. After this sequence, Haruki and his opponent have been transported to the world of Oite Ankoku. The small girl appears to fight against the enemy as all the plant life and such seem to die when in her presence. This is somewhat of a last resort of Haruki's ban-kai form.
*Demon Magic: Used very rarely, Haruki has a basic knowledge of kido. He can use simple binding arts and few destructive arts but hardly ever relies upon these techniques.
History: Born of the 79th district of Rukongai, Haruki grew up in a very poor and lonely lifestyle. He never had any friends and always felt secluded because he was in need of nourishment from time to time unlike the other souls that took up residence in the area. He had heard about the academy of the shinigami and decided to join, maybe he could find clarity and meaning as to why he existed. After years of training in the academy he was placed into one of the divisions of the gotei 13 and studied under Captain Ukitake. Throughout his time as an officer in the 13th division, he started to discover that he had a hollow side that took up residence in the world in which his zanpakuto, Oite Ankoku existed.
Haruki's hollow form is in fact, an eerie character that wears a large black cloak just as Haruki does when in his ban-kai state. His hollow form lived dormant in his body for many years until he had joined the gotei 13. He constantly battled the hollow presence inside of him, but after years... he learnt to live with it. After 100 years of service to the shinigami cause, Haruki had learnt the fact that he was not the only shinigami that possessed a hollow side. So in search of the reason in which he existed, he journeyed to the living world indefinately to soon meet a group that called themselves, 'Vizard'.
Just like him, they possessed inner hollows and had learnt how to use their terrifying and unbelievable power in battle. He quickly joined the Vizard and began training under the others in how to use his hidden abilities. After 100 years of training, he has finally become a being to be feared by all that opposed the Vizard. He possesses no grudge toward the shinigami race and still respects his former captain for his kindness and knowledge. Now that he has finally found his place, he has vowed to follow his fellow Vizard to the utter end.
Oite Ankoku's true form has always been Haruki's dearest friend. Even though not much is said between the two, they share a special kindred of sorts. Haruki and Oite Ankoku are usually seen together on a daily basis, they both share the same personality traits in which what little is said, is usually of a darker and blunt nature. Haruki does not usually show emotion or is influenced by it, but he has been shown to be very protective of her.
Personality: Haruki bears a blank expression at all times when in his human form. When he is masked, he still maintains a melancholy look about him. He doesnt really care much for anyone and is rather oblivious to the feelings and fates of other people.
