Name: Takashi Xero
Age: 821
Gender: Male
Race: Antari
Squad: none
Rank: none
Personality: Xero is usually silent. But when battle insuse he is far from quite. He may not speak but his sword raors with delight at the chance to clieve flesh from bone, and bone from body. He hungers to reduce his enemies to ash but once the battle is over he vanashes into acloud of silence once more and only speaks when neccessary.
Bio: Xero is part of a race that was thought to exist only in storys that grandparent told to children at bed time. Even then they were only ever at the edges of the stories, coming in and leaving without a trace, never to be described in too much detail and a mystery to all and an obsession to some. This race were known as the Antari.
The Antari were a warrior race, raised from birth to fight and rely only on thier own strength. Team work is not something they were ever thought, being told having to rely on others was a sign of ones own incompetance in the art of combat. Physically they were very muscular and well build. They resembled humans to certain extent but with one major difference, their tail. In the human world it resembled that of a tiger. It had no purpose that a human could see but to an Antari the tail was as deadly as a third arm of leg and was considered their only companion and friend.
Growing up they were baptised in the fire of combat. From the moment they could walk they were thought to defend, attack and kill. When their arms were strong enoguh they were givin their frist blade and constantly being pitted against others of their own age in fights to the death. Thought that only the strong deserved the honour of life but also that death in combat was they only way to truly die an honourable, warriors death. It was extreemly rare for an Antari to die of old age and those very few that did were treated as gods in physical bodies for their combat skill would have to have been unmatched in order to live long enough to die old.
Training in a wide range of weapons Xero became well versed in every comabt type. Also in hand to hand combat if they were to ever become weaponless. As he grew and aged his skill for learning and fighting was easily recognisable. When he reached the age of 400, which was still considered young by his races standards, he recieved his mask. A black and white face mask which symboled his rise to warrior. At that very moment he was sent out into the world to live for himself. Now considered an Adult as the humans may refer to him as he would never recieve help from his people again and may even have to fight them if the situation arose.
Xero traveled for years on his own fighting whenever the situation called for it and training the rest of the time. Eventually his journey brough him across a place Known as Soul Society. As you may have guessed by now Xero was not born into the world like humans were. He was born into this land where humans came after dieing. Xero entered soul society and began training with them, learning whatever he could. His time there led him to learn the art of Hado, and Bakudo. Both which he picked up very quickly. As such he learned of his swords "soul". Something the Antari were never aware of and because of this he set out to unlock and master not only his shikai but also bankai as soon as possible

~Shikai~
Shikai Appearance:
Shikai
Shikai Command: Consume them in flames, Ashbringer

Now Xeros Katana has taken on the form of what is known as a Naginata or bladed staff.
Bankai Abilities:
Adamantium Hid: Now that Xero has changed into his Bankia state his physical appearance remains the same but his skin has become next to impenatrubile. It would take a collosul force to even scratch his skin let alons pierce it.
Master of Shunpo: Now Xeros speed has increased substationally. This has a direct result on how fast he can attack with his katana thus increasing his Flash swords effectivness
Negative Flames: This attack is similar to an Espadas cero but far stronger than a regular one. Xero concentrates a ball of highly chargered flame energy into the palm of his hand forming a ball which he then fires as a large blast at his opponent. Its color is black and red.
~Skills, Techniques, and Kido~
Personal Skills:
Flash Sword: With this ability Xero is able to move his sword eceptionally faster then normal. It appears he does not move but infact he would have drawn slashed and resheathed his blade before the person even noticed. He can use this attack any number of times but it does drain his energy so it number of uses is limited. But to just how many times he can use it is unknown to anyone.
