History/Background:
Age: 400, appears close to 18.
Gender: Male
Personality:
Esbjorn is a quite person, who only speaks when he thinks it is necessary. Despite his quite nature he loves to argue, and will argue a point even though he knows its wrong, only relenting when he knows he's gone too far.Appearance:
Esbjorn sometimes has trouble getting his meanings across, and because of this behaves rather strange when he knows no-one has fully understood what he means, usually making him stop talking and walk of to recollect his thoughts.
When Esbjorn fights, he is ruthless, precise and seems fearless, and loves predicting or seeing what his enemy will do. After Esbjorn has finished fighting, he usually lapses back into his quieter nature, never outwardly boasting about his victories, and always trying to hide his defeats.
Esbjorn is most relaxed when around his friends, although since he has become a vizard he's had issues with his 'friends' in soul society. Esbjorn loves to snowboard, despite his death involving it, but unfortunately doesnt get the chance to often.
Esbjorn's love of technology keeps him near the human world and he often uses a gigai he 'borrowed' to get technology and use it when he is in the human world.
Esbjorn is around 6’0, with sandy-blonde hair that is considerably messy and his striking deep blue eyes. He usually wears tattered cloak that is a deep blue with a three white lines marked horizontally on the back. He wears a grey t-shirt and grey pants underneath. A black belt holds his zampakuto to his left hip.Hollow Mask:
Esbjorn is fairly well built and holds himself upright, with a good posture.
Esbjorn's hollow mask is a white bear skull that curves around Esbjorns head slightly. It looks like a snarling bear, with its fangs visible. There is a blue and red line crossing over the left eye, over the snout and down to the right hand corner.Hollow Powers:
The hollow powers Esbjorn gains when he is in his hollow form are:Inner Hollow:
-Reiryoku absorption, allowing Esbjorn’s attacks to be more efficient
-Enhanced strength, which increases his damage allowing for more devastating attacks
Esbjorn’s Inner hollow is a large bear, which is pure white, with a red and blue line travelling down its body. It appears to have spiky bone-armour over its shoulders and chest and its eyes are a deep gold. Its name is Viveka; whose voice is deep, resonating with Esbjorn’s, which is also relatively deep creating a strange effect when he talks in hollow form. Often Viveka tries to force ideas of reckless attacks and impossible feats into Esbjorns head in attempt to get Esbjorn to listen to him.Zampakuto's name:
Since Esbjorn became a vizard, he had some trouble controlling his hollow, and does not like to go into hollow form much, and is working on further increasing his control over his hollow self.
AsbjÖrn, meaning 'divine bear'Zampakuto Spirit:
Esbjorn's zampakuto is a brown bear, his name is AsbjÖrn and he has a commanding nature about him. He taught Esbjorn all about the art of war and strength in battle and outside battle. AsbjÖrn lives in a forest plateau in the mountains, which snows on and off.Un-released Zampakuto's Appearance:
When unreleased, AsbjÖrn looks like a standard katana, with a black hilt.Shikai Release phrase::
Reflect the power,AsbjÖrn!Shikai Appearance::
When released Esbjorns shikai is a sword with a blade about 1 metre long that ends in two points. The blade itself is rather wide, and the hilt is a simple design.Shikai Abilities::
The only skill enhances the stamina of Esbjorn when he calls out his shikai, lasting up to 10-15 seconds before ending, leaving Esbjorn drained. This increase can make Esbjorn able to take on much more damage than he would normally; it is limited by the strength of his opponent and drains him of spiritual energy after it has ended. Esbjorn only uses this when he is depserate.Bankai Description:
Upon going to bankai, his shikai changes into a pair of gloves with blades protruding from the end of the left glove:Bankai Abilities:and the right glove becoming a flexible metal glove with strange symbols on it:, with the right looking like this:
When using bankai, Esbjorn’s abilities are put into increased strength and agility. Because of this, his weapons are extremely effective at close range, allowing for successive combinations of attacks.
Pulse: When this is used, Esbjorn slams his fist into his enemies chest and a large amount of force ‘pulses’ out of his fist, slamming the enemy backwards, and can momentarily stun the person on impact (this stun does not work 100% of the time). This ability is limited by how long Esbjorn has been in Bankai. The more powerful the enemy is than Esbjorn, the less they are damaged and launched, the less powerful they are the more they are damaged and launched.Skill Level: Kidou: Intermediate
This ability launches a person of similar power approximately 20 metres away, with once again the variations on distance, stun effect and damage based on the powers of the enemy.
The other ability Esbjorn’s Bankai has is the ability to deflect/reflect bala. To deflect a bala Esbjorn must be able to hit it with his right fist. In deflecting the bala, Esbjorn can only deflect it once per battle, and the strength of the bala varies in how effectively he can deflect/reflect it.

History/Background:
Esbjorn died while trekking across the mountains while snowboarding. He fell of a ledge and landed on rocks at least 100 metres below him, and was killed instantly. After arriving at soul society, he became hungry and weak after the first few days and was advised to go to the shinigami academy. Here he was accepted into the Gotei 13 and placed in squad 7. Training his skills, he managed to reach bankai and managing to master flash-steps. After being turned into a vizard, he left the shinigami squad and travelled to the human world, were he met other vizards and learnt to control his inner hollow to some extent.RP Sample:
After leaving the soul society, Esbjorn lost friends that he cared about and still regrets his decision from time to time. After being in the human world for a while, he began to become more laid back and relaxed, greeting most people he met with a slight smile and a friendly “howzit?” However Esbjorn has issues with making proper friends however, thinking that if he does, then something will happen to ruin what he wants most.
Hanging out in the Human world, Esbjorn ventures around, searching for a way to leave the human world and get to Las Noches or Hueco Mundo.
Slamming the hollow into the concrete, Esbjorn flash-steps away as it swings at him wildly. Appearing a short distance away, Esbjorn catches his breath as the hollow collapses onto the ground. Confused, Esbjorn decides to keep a safe distance before turning his attention to his wounds. Unaware that the Hollow has stood back up, Esbjorn sits down against a wall and wraps bandages around a gouge in his leg, staunching the blood. Tightening it, he ties it up and stands. Glancing back at the Hollow, his eyes widen in shock as a cero flies past, inches from him, hitting a house behind him, launching him off his feet. Scorning him for letting his guard down, he flash steps as a second cero hits were he was standing moments ago.
Running towards the Hollow, Esbjorn flash steps dodging a swipe from the hollow. Hitting back at the hollow it dodges and charges at Esbjorn. Sidestepping a punch, Esbjorn spins into a low kick, knocking the hollow off its feet. Flash-stepping above it, Esbjorn pummels it into the ground, leaving hole marks across its chest. Bouncing off its chest, Esbjorn jumps towards a roof, but the hollow grabs his leg, throwing him at the wall.
Hitting the wall, Esbjorn has the wind knocked out of him, and falls to the ground breathless. Picking Esbjorn up, the hollow holds him in a crushing grip, cutting into him as it charges up for a cero blast point blank into Esbjorn.
As this is happening, Esbjorn feels his inner hollow surfacing, and part of his mask appears, confusing the hollow slightly, halting its cero charge. Using this opportunity, Esbjorn jams his left fist into its arm, making it drop him. Landing in a crouch, Esbjorn runs at the hollow, slamming his fist into its chest, and creating an explosion of energy, pushes the hollow backwards, destroying it.
Falling to the ground, Esbjorn lay there, breathing heavily his eyes closed.
“Excuse me…are you alright?” A voice said softly. Opening his eyes, Esbjorn sees a white robe in front of him, and someone’s shoes. Sitting up slowly, Esbjorn looks at the person who asked him if he was ok.
“I’ll survi-“ Stopping midsentence as Esbjorn realises who he’s talking to. In front of him stands a shinigami in a captain’s robe. Jumping up, Esbjorn dusts himself off, smiling and replies, “ I’m fine, no-need to worry about me!” Walking off, he tries to keep himself upright so he doesn’t give away his injuries to the shinigami. Rounding a corner, he drops the false pretence, and slumps against the wall, breathing raggedly.
“I thought not…” The voice came again, as Esbjorn tried to stand up, slipping and hitting the ground hard.
“Leave me alone…” Esbjorn muttered as his world went black, and he fainted.
Opening his eyes, Esbjorn attempted to sit up, but was forcefully pushed back down. “ Don’t try to get up so quickly, you definitely haven’t healed properly.” A shinigami said.
“Where am I?”
“Soul Society Medical Sector.”
“Oh joy.."
