History/Background:
Age: 240
Gender: Male
Personality:
As a jester his personality is extremely playful and he is fond of practical jokes. He has a dislike for seriousness and so even in battle he is almost playful. However, despite his playful, jocular nature he is also incredibly skilled at analysing his opponents strengths and weaknesses in combat.Appearance:
When his opponent starts becoming too serious and angry he will try to urge them to calm down and smile. "Battling is no fun against an angry opponent." he says. "Their moves becomes sloppy and easy to predict." He will often use his shikai in order to try and calm them down or end the battle before they begin to become too angry.
In combat he has a tendency to dodge around his opponent's attacks with his amazing acrobatic skill and speed until he feels he has analysed there strengths and weaknesses efficiently. Once this is done he will strike.
He is about 5ft3 in height and appears to be about fourteen. He wields a cane with a ram on top. This is his zanpakutoh disguised. He has blonde hair down to his shoulders and hazel eyes. His face has a constant smile on it.Hollow Mask:
He often wears the traditional shinigami uniform, but has altered it to be a short sleeved kosode and the hakama only reaches to his knees and instead of white tabi and obi his is yellow.
His hollow mask is half white and half black and has a large comical grin for a mouth. The eyes are opened wide as if in great joy or surprise. It has two curved horns similar to the ram.Hollow Powers:
Cero: High-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only Gillians, Adjuchas, Arrancar, and the Vizards have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently. This is fired from between the curved ram horns of his hollow mask.Inner Hollow:
Bala: Bala is an alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate but the damage is much the same. Stronger Vizard can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.
His inner hollow is a half, black half white version of himself with curved ram horns. He is topless and has fur on his shoulders and wrists. He is dressed in grey trousers and is shoeless with fur on the top of his feet.Zampakuto's name:
His zanpakutoh name is Odokemono.Zampakuto Spirit:
His zanpakutoh spirit is the typical jester wearing brightly coloured clothes and an eccentric hat made of cloth with three floppy points with bells on. His eyes are yellow and his clothing is blue, red and yellow and his shoes have curved feet with bells on them.Un-released Zampakuto's Appearance:
His unreleased zanpakutoh is typically stored in a cane with a ram on the end. When he wants to use it he tosses it into the air and it changes into a katana with the basic round hilt and a yellow hilt.Shikai Release phrase::
Turn their frowns upside down, OdokemonoShikai Appearance::
His shikai changes into a small staff (3ft) in length which is red in colour with gold at each end. It has three bells at one end.Shikai Abilities::
Extend: THe first ability of his shikai is the ability to extend the staff in length up to 30ft at high speeds . This is usually used to dodge an attack, but it can be used offensively.Bankai Description:
Laughing gas: This is exuded from the tip of his staff. It is a colourless gas that causes people to burst into hysterics reduing their ability to fight or defend themselves. Opponents with stronger spiritual power can resist this ability more effectiveley then those weaken them him.
Distortion bell: This is where he rings the bells on his stick and it creates a large sound wave that makes his opponent see everything distorted and everything will appear bright and colourful. As an added note stronger opponents are more resistant to this then others.
Bomb launcher: This launches small bombs out of the base of the staff at the opponent that can have one of two effects. The first is to coat the opponent and ground in a sticky glue that slows down movement and the other is a large explosion.
His bankai is called Myoushu Odokemono. When he activates it the three bells detach from the staff and grow larger (about 3ft in radius) and begin to spin around him creating a barrier. His sraff grows a spiked ball on the end.Bankai Abilities:
Great Extension: This is an advanced version of the extend ability. The mace of his bankai can now extend up to 50ft in length and the spikes can be created from 0.5ft to 2ft. The mace can also be extended off on a chain of up to 3ft.Skill Level: Kidou: Intermediate
Hysterics gas: An advanced version of the laughing gas ability that makes the opponent laugh so hard it hurts and also reduces movement. Stronger opponents can resist the ability.
Big distortion bells: An advanced version of the distortion bell, which allows him to create much more powerful distortions that also reduce the opponents sense of direction. Stronger opponents can resist the abilities.
Spike missile: This is an alteration and more powerful version of the bomb launcher. With this he can launch the spikes of his mace, which regenerate afterwards. These have three abilties unlike the bomb launcher which only has two. The first is still the glue bomb, but the glue is much stickier and more is launched with each missile. The second is the explosion missile, which has a larger explosion then the other bomb launcher. The final ability is a flash bomb, this blinds the opponent.
Bell manipulation: With this he can manipulate the bells in order to block attacks or launch them at an opponent. If an opponent hits them it will generate a sound wave that has the potential to knock them back.

History/Background:
His life was pretty normal, well as normal as a kid's get when he was born on april fool's day. He lived his life playing practical jokes on every day of the year becoming more and more daring and extravagent. Unfortunately, during one such extravagent stunt he was accidently killed.RP Sample:
Strangely, the explosion caused by his stunt caught a hollow and the effect was that part of the hollows mask became embedded in his spritual body distorting it and amplifying his spiritual power. When he was sent to rukonogai by a shinigami, his high reiatsu made him an ideal canditate for the academy and his tricks had given him unsual, but efficient hand to hand skills and a talent with devices.
At the academy he was not admitted into the highest class due to his strange nature, but he was in one of the high classes and eventually graduated, although his graduation was delayed by a year due to a particularly impressive joke. The extra year had provided him with extra training and he managed to develop higher level kidou in this extra year.
When he graduated his analytical, yet very bizarre mind, made him perfect for the 12th squad. During experiments by Mayuri the aging of his body was slowed even further.
It was during a battle against a powerful arrancar that his hollow side took over his body temporarily and annihalated the hollow in question. He managed to subdue his hollow spirit for now.
It was after this that he realised that the shinigami would not like his new form or powers so he would have to keep it secret and only use it as a big surprise against truly tough enemies when he was fighting alone. This suited him quite well. He loved surprises.
In private he managed to train and subdue his inner hollow or at least enough so it didn't take over fully again. This took several months because he had little to go on. After a year and a half he managed to gain control enough to use the mask's power. It was during this training that his zanpakutoh spirit materialized and he began to practise learning his bankai.
His bankai, like most, took several years in order to master to enough of a degree to use it in prolonged combat situations. Although it suited him mostly he felt that his bankai was too destructive for his nature and rarely uses it preffering to rely on his shikai and kido.
The jester vizard ,who had been nicknamed Humerus and called it for so long that only a few members remember his real name, was training with one of his fellow shinigami. This shinigami was extremely serious and that just upset Humerus. He had already used his shiaki whilst Humerus still kept his blade in its staff form.
The opposing shinigami charged forward and attempted to swing his shikai weapon (a broad sword) downward. In response Humerus jumped and landed on the top of the blade balancing perfectly. He smiled and flicked the shinigami on the nose before backflipping and kicking the shinigami in the chin sending him flying. He landed on one foot and performed a pirouetter.
"Why so serious? Life is serious enough without us being like it all the time." He said. The shinigami rose to his feet rubbing his jaw. In reality the jester had not even used half his natural strength, not even a quarter in fact, but he knew how to hit. He didn't look it but he was an incredibly skilled fighter.
The opposing shinigami charged at him trying a horizantal swing, but the jester jumped over him and launched a kick to the back of his head that sent him sprawling to the floor. Humerus sighed as the shinigami got up angrier then ever.
"If you get angry and so serious you leave openings for me to exploit. Are you going to calm down?" he asked. The shinigami bared his teeth and his eyes narrowed as he prepared to launch his shikai's special ability. He sighed. "Fine then. Turn their frowns upside down. Odokemono." His cane changed to form a small sceptre with bells on the top. He smiled at his opponent as he sidestepped out of the way of a large energy ball "Let's see if this helps you become less serious. Distortion bell." He shook his sceptre from side to side ringing the bells. The sound wave hit the shinigami and made everything appear to him distorted and brightly coloured. This opponent was weaker then him and so the effect would be hard to resist. However, the shinigami continued to launch energy blast after energy blast. All of them missing completely due to the distortion. He was still too angry to fight properly. Humerus sighed and walked up to the shinigami extending his staff to longer. He blocked the energy blasts in almost a relaxed manner.
He sighed as he hit the shinigami with his laughing gas attack. This put him into fits of laughter and he fell over in hysterics.
"If you had been calm you would of been able to avoid my attacks more easily and been able to resist the shikai techs more easily. Learn to control your emotions." he whispered. "And learn to laugh once in a while. Even Kenpachi laughs, though that is for another reason."
