His family has strived on and become something entirely different from its original set up. As their youngest leader, he's strived to bring a stable nature to his martial arts-based clan. Finding many of his powers and skills to be better. He found out the dark history of the Crow Family and his true origin. However, it seems most of that was just a lie to brainwash him into his actions. He's found proof and now stands stable and ready.

Physical Information

Physical Build/Scars: He is an extremely fit and well built male. His body is built more towards lean muscle instead of blowing up. He didn't put much time into weights or things like that. Jaeden has fought in a number of battles showcasing his skill and prowess. While being one of the better warriors he did end up growing and changing quite a bit. His height and build make him an agile enemy to face. He's able to use this size and weight to his advantage fairly often. Jaeden's frame and figure have changed frequently and evolved due to his training nature. Physically he is healthy as a horse for someone who's been brainwashed. Scars are on his wrist and chest. He is known to have gotten many of these as a child fighting hollows. The children who he leads as a boy were said to be grateful for it. However, his body did ultimately pay the price by being wounded. The Crow Family Tradition of sending children to their death hadn't gone by easy. A scar from Zefonse's blow still crosses over his chest under his clothing. Jaeden's physical body despite showing the ravages of many battles is in extremely good condition.

Attire: Jaeden sports a white yukata with a blue swirl pattern on the bottom and ends of the sleeves. The right half drops down over his obi leaving him somewhat exposed up top. He wears a black outfit underneath his Yukata and seems to have a belt to keep the right part of his yukata from dragging. He wears a pair of traditional Japanese sandals. These are worn till he enters a building as it's a tradition within their family. While he holds no value in clothing this is the outfit he has chosen to wear. While going through this stage of his dressing it does come across somewhat lazy. But he finds this style of dress the easiest to fight in. Moving around his sword arm a bit more freely. He'd given up the prim and proper battle looks sometime ago. Jaeden, while he's been away, has let his hair get a bit messy as well. This appearance has overall changed the outlook he has on many things going on within his attire.

Physical Appearance: Jaeden at first glance comes across as a lazy man. Not having the desire or will to do anything of note. He seems to hang back with a fan in hand. Remaining out of the situation as much as possible. His unkempt hair which seems like he'd just rolled out of bed. His uncaring attitude and demeanor down to the way he dresses seem to confirm it. Jaeden's physical appearance does tell another story as well. Upon looking closely it's realized that he is holding much of his emotions back. Never letting them all into the open as he was taught. Being a leader requires a calm and cool perspective sometimes. He does give the air off of a former Captain as you look him over. His spiritual pressure and physical body have that intimidating presence that is normal with one. While he has been away from the position for some time and traveled around doing things for the Vizard Corps and other factions. Jaeden's physical status has remained an enigma.

Mental Information

Laid Back: jaeden has an extremely laid back nature now. He's lost much of that strict nature that once used to cloud his vision. He never really got involved in the situation that most did. Now he's very going with the flow and keeping himself into a very relaxed mood. While this is the case normally he speaks casually not bothering with titles or anything. Some believe it's confidence shown by the young man. He lays around and often would rather take a nap then get involved in a serious discussion. Such things don't interest the former 1st Sector Leader or Captain. There is no point in taking things so seriously. Life is a short gift, may as well enjoy it while you can. His attitude change came partly due to the nature of his tribulations he went through. His intention to return to the organization his journey began shows some motivation. Though what the man is thinking is hard to figure out for many

Enigma: He's not an easy man to read by even the smartest minds. He seems aloof and to be doing nothing. But generally, his mind is processing and thinking about things. Something is always going on in his head to keep things moving. While he doesn't generally get involved in many situations. Jaeden does seem to have a very centered gravity on things. Sometimes people expect something completely different when they meet a person. Never expecting them to be something else entirely. Jaeden while he doesn't show motivation towards certain things. Does believe in the law and order of the Gotei 13. He doesn't seem interested in the Demonic instances that occurred within the place.


Charismatic: Having a strange air of leadership about him he is someone trustable. Jaeden has always somehow had that air about him. Where he would draw upon the nature of things. He drew people to him and always seemed to have some answer to things. His allure sometimes comes from his silence or speaking what is on his mind.

Likes

Naps: Napping is an art in itself. Something about it is almost appealing to anyone. Everyone enjoys a nice nap before work. It's how you jump charge the battery for something to come. He's not one for paperwork and all that. It's something else that makes him tick and enjoy things of that nature. Jaeden openly enjoys his naps wherever he is. So much so that he has slept at a meeting around important people. He is paying attention and able to tell when the time is right. Napping is a true joy for anyone who takes it up, finding the perfect spot is a challenge. Not too hard or too soft to ruin one's good night vibes they have. This requires absolute focus and dexterity of mind and body to pull off. Jaeden has hunted for the perfect sleeping location for many moons. He believes firmly that it is within the Gotei 13.

Zanjutsu: Jaeden has a love for the art of wielding a sword. He believes the Zanpakutō is the purest extension of a Shinigami. Something that they must keep to themselves and practice with care. Respect the sword and show it a good battle. He fought Zefonse with this belief in his heart. To this day he studies and practices but now instead of simply clinging to the bygone era of swordplay. He's moved on to creating his own skills and practical uses for the weapon. Jaeden has gone so far as to develop and practice swordplay as one of his few passions. Diving deeper into the soul fo a swordsman has made him enhance his focus and demeanor as a whole. Sharpening his mind and body into weapons is what made him fall in love with it. Swordplay as art is lost almost entirely in the world. While he isn't some gifted master or beyond with it. He knows how to use a blade well enough. He is capable enough to face down most enemies with excellent swordplay. Using a constructive style of his.

The Crow Clan: Jaeden loves his family dearly and puts them before most things. Making his choices based on that alone allows him to fight differently. He has something in mind that always holds. He wants what's best for his family. What's best for them and everything around him. He may not have the answers to provide them that. But he will do his best to make sure they have something. He's put a lot of time and effort into growing as a warrior while away. He wanted to become something better for his family and provide them, someone, they could count on. It wasn't as though he'd done nothing for them at all. He sent letters and stayed in contact with them while meditating and focusing on his journey. He needed to clean himself of all his sins. To accept he was who he was and become a better man for it. His Clan is one of the most cherished things in his life. He doesn't own them or controls them, but they worry about his safety and are concerned for him. It must be noted he considered Iriko his sin and in doing so he found peace now.

Shunpo

Utsusemi: Something Jaeden enjoys using a great deal as it creates openings. Using Utsusemi he is able to perform many feats with his sword skills. This move isn't a secret or a specialized version. Jaeden can perform them rapidly though capable of doing several at a time. Leaving behind an afterimage is rather simple with the speed he's developed. But for one thing, Jaeden learned the previous masters were right in the practices they did. It allowed them to grow into formidable warriors who were capable of great things. By developing and growing a move that someone else created. He's gotten very skilled at the utilization of it when it counts most. Developing and fine-tuning the past for the future is the mantra people should follow. Jaeden's new outlook on life has made him respect and find new peace in the world. But by using his immense skill in the art of Shunpo he's developed it further.

Speed Clone: Jaeden can make fifteen clones at most with his speed. Capable of performing feats with his shunpo that few others can. This has made him into a rather quick impressive fighter in that regard. By creating solid clones he can fight his enemy in this way. But Jaeden's gone beyond that and came up with new ways to use the Shunpo. While he does study the older Shinigami's ways. He does believe firmly that the past put them on the right path for the future. That is the skills are done correctly a person can become even greater. Jaeden has taken this and put it into practice with his shunpo. Developing both new moves and keeping the old one dear to his heart. Most of them are flawless moves that are useful in many ways. Innovation would lead to newer finds that this skill known as Shunpo could be so much more. Given the chance to grow, Speed Clones could lead to great advances in just how fast one could go. Moving at that speed to create fifteen clones with your speed alone was impressive. But what about going beyond that to something more.

These are solid clones and thus he can take damage from what they take. But also he is able to only perform this for two posts only.



Tokihanachimasu: As stated previously it's about upgrading the previous to go to a new level. Using the previous Utsusemi he is able to perform an instance counter-attack. This move is called the Unleashing or its namesake of Tokihanachimasu which is the unleashing of the Cicada in English. The move is useful as it allows him to react the moment a blade would make contact. He's able to strike a person 100 times using this step. However, executing the move is something else entirely. Even if he is able to perform extremely fast strikes on his target. They could just as well block or dodge them. Jaeden's well known for his shunpo practice and skill in this art. Having put time and effort into improving something few people did. He wasn't known for using much else when fighting. Zefonse was a man who pushed the very best out of him. Something to make him grow into something different from others. Focusing instead intensely on making better what he had to work with. Jaeden began to create moves and skills using things he'd never thought of. Letting go of his emotional attachments he began to become more.

Example: When use has begun the user will have slashed at him using a sword or Hakuda technique. Using this moment he'll cast an Utsusemi with highly precise movements. Activating this is tiring on his senses and body making him only use it once per thread. Due to the labor of usage and timing issue. He won't always be able to make it work in effect.


Kage: This is a move developed by him where the user can travel in the shadow of a clone. They can move between the shadows and energy when desired. This is tricky as the user must be a Grand-Master in step in order to perform this correctly. Lower has a risk of performing the move and looking foolish. You would end up slipping and showing your presence far too early. Switching between clones and observing your enemies provides an excellent strategy. Does this pose physical harm to an enemy? No, it doesn't as you can't attack while in the shadow. You must expose yourself to the enemy when coming out. Now this means you are at risk if you perform the step incorrectly obviously. If the user figures out what you're doing the clones will of been useless and you wasted energy. Jaeden's use of it is good because he has practiced using it often. Inventing the step is also a handy tool for fighting in a dark way that he mastered long ago.

The Five Branches/Itsutsu no eda

About the Five Branches: This is something Jaeden developed after spending time meditating on a mountain in private. He spent his time figuring out what the five beliefs of swordplay would be. How it aged and changed with the wielder. The Five Branches have different moves and purposes to them. Each having traits that especially define them as sword styles. While one will focus on power another may focus on speed. While another will try to focus on killing based moves. Creating such techniques has required Jaeden to be innovative and careful with his moves. Developing them into potent arts where he could defend or kill when need be. Everything came down to his skill in developing what he considered his ultimate sword style. This style can use two blades and Jaeden is more than capable of doing so with it. Controlling and adjusting his fighting style with twin blades is what makes him different.


Seiryu: The only style Jaeden practices really and has put any time into. While he did breath life into the other ideas of a sword. He never touched on putting them into practice and leaving them simply notes on paper. This style is meant to be used in many different forms. This Kenjutsu begins by embracing that no situation is absolute. Nothing is for certain and no technique or anything is the answer. It uses different tactics to different situations. By giving rise to a sense of controlling the blade it can be used a number of ways. The user first practices the art of quick draw as it's effective for defending against surprise or quick attacks.

The final thing a user of this art is taught is that there is no base stance or form. No techniques exist for this style as it's one hundred percent free-form. Making it a style that doesn't have defining characteristics. It's not going to be called a strong or fast style. It's a blade style that shows off or tries to be colorful in its nature. At its core, the style has no stance and the user while they can use some form of footwork or movement they desire. The free-form nature allows them to respond to situations as they see fit. With powerful blows, if they want or fast ones, it has no set in the stone path. The user must find and set their own belief or system as this style is meant for those who don't wish to be a traditionalist.

Zanpakutō

Zanpakutō Name:Niutonas
Zanpakutō Appearance:

Spoiler:

Reiatsu Color:[/u Blue
[u]Innerworld: Within his Innerworld it's a different type of place as he sits in space alone. The world around him is empty and dull. The only thing to be found in the endless vastness of it all. Is his Zanpakutō spirit sitting by herself? She seems to observe and care for this world delicately, occasionally popping a star or two. She is often this way of being sulky when he doesn't visit or bond with her often. He and Niutonas have a very friendly relationship to that of best friends. It's something else entirely when handling one another.S he knows how to support and heal his injury with him. His Zanpakutō and he truly fight as one lending one another strength for their battles. Jaeden often when napping is spending time with her in some way or form to keep her happy.

Sealed Form: In it'ss sealed state his Zanpakutō's appearance is of that of a regular katana. Not much change aside from its hourglass-shaped guard and the blade wrap around the hilt. The weapon is known to house a strange sense of pull towards its blade. However, that is just a rumor as the weapon isn't that strange. The sheath is a traditional black katana sheath with no extra add-ons or features combining the weapon into its base form. While it doesn't change much or do anything of real note as a physical weapon it is still impressive overall as a Zanpakutō blade.

• Gravity Control: Jaeden in base form can manipulate and control the gravity of objects. His own is also able to be controlled. Making himself weightless for greater movement is possible. It's not out of the ordinary realm for him to do so. Jaeden has often claimed that his Zanpakutō allows him to Defy Gravity. This is a very true statement as he can simply ignore gravity entirely or increase his too large amounts. He is able to influence things in his area. Ten meters is the zone set by his Zanpakutō's sealed form. This doesn't increase or grow within Shikai or bankai. He's only able to ever influence things within that radius. However, this doesn't mean attacks can't be sent out from that radius and cause destruction that keeps going. That would also require some build up for usage in any form. It has a five turn cooldown on usage.
  
  
• Gravity Slash: By bringing his sword down he is able to hit his target with an immense amount of gravity. This isn't due to his swordsmanship, as he doesn't have a tremendous amount of strength. He is able to hit his target with an immense for of gravity. The cutting force is also brought down when he swings his Zanpakutō. Creating a cut across the area, this allows him to use his tremendous strength to release what he would consider a strong attack. While fighting in this form he's capable of performing this in sealed of course. But it doesn't release anywhere near its destructive force when in it's sealed state. By releasing its state from the original he is capable of producing an attack capable of reading his target unable to move sometimes. Though some targets can muscle through no matter how much gravity hits them. This move again isn't the end all or be all for him, but it's his favorite to use against most enemies. Five strikes can be used and then rest is required.
  
  

Shikai: Upon entering Shikai his Zanpakutō gains a chain that hangs from the end of it's hilt. The chain has the form of a small weight hanging at the end of it. This chain can be stretched or pulled out further. It seems to be housed in the blade and is capable of being used freely. Upon release, his Zanpakutō gets symbols along its blade in the native language of Jaeden and his people. It means little to others, but the blade indicates its intention. Carry the Weight of the World and Cast it Down. Is what the language means on the blade. His Zanpakutō spirit and he fight as a rather decent pair in this form. Allowing him to decrease the weight of more than just objects in his Shikai or himself. He can do so much more when going into that form of power. He's able to generate a large amount of force when using it. Capable of doing considerable amounts of damage when put into action.

• Enhanced Gravity Control: In Shikai he's beyond just doing objects going into this form he's able to control energy-based attack's gravity. Now does this mean he can take control of a massive attack and send it back? Of course not, that's unrealistic. He can influence and control its direction moderately. Can he take over the attack on someone stronger than him and send it away? No this is another thing that simply isn't possible in Shikai. He can influence it and try to affect it's trajectory once it enters that space. However, that is all he can do within his zone. If a character is weaker yes he could reserve it's gravity. That's entirely possible, this does take focus and time within his zone. His control over energy isn't the only improvement in this form. He is able to influence the Gravity of others who fight him. By doing this he can influence the amount of gravity they have and don't have. Your character is about to lift a heavy object, well it might have just got heavier or maybe you did. About to run at him, why does it feel like you're dragging? Jaeden can increase his allies speed in his zone and decrease his enemies. It has plenty of uses. Ten Turn Cooldown
  
  
• Traiškyti It means Crush in English, now the first thought that comes to mind is some sort of Darth Vader like effect. That's not how this functions and if he wanted too it could. He brings his sword back as he turns his frame slowly. And slashes a horizontal slash out towards his enemies. What happens next is a truly horrifying power comes in. The gravity slams and crushes everything as it rushes towards his target. It starts within the Ten-meter zone and rushes out like a monster to destroy everything in its wake. It's maxed amount is up to two football fields in Shikai and goes further in bankai. However, in the current state, it can do massive amounts of damage and has a long-range. The slash grows and is large in a horizontal standard. But not unavoidable as people can go upwards if they react in time. The move does have a windup and can take a bit to release the build-up to someone. Giving them ample time to avoid or even press an attack perhaps. The swing is wide and doesn't mean that if they get behind something they will not be safe. It just means if you're in range and gets hit you are likely to take a large amount of damage from the blow. Four turns wind up period with a ten turn cooldown.
  
  With the windup of the blow, he is able to release a massive shoving gravity in a singular direction that slams into his enemies sending them flying.
  
  

Bankai: Upon releasing his bankai he doesn't change much but the air around him does. This place becomes heavier in that ten-meter zone. That place becomes crushing to those not prepared to fight at a different level of gravity. It's zone changes and so do the laws of Gravity within it. An object in motion may encounter a gravity pushing it away from him. The feeling and pressure changes happen often to those outside of it. For him within that crushing force, he is able to move normally and as though nothing changed. Obviously, appearance-wise you will notice that area. A purple like pressure will be pushing downwards and crushing the earth. Plenty of warning signs about the area you enter into when facing him in this form. If energy is shot it does become subject to the gravity within that zone This area does have an effective move he can use. However, Jaeden's not in the mind to use such powers often and tends to avoid them. But his Zanpakutō does have within its capability a singular final move that he finds to be most effective when fighting a larger enemy than himself. By concentrating you will see the outcome of what happens when push really comes. Gravity is something fierce some and should always be remembered as something that gives and takes away.

• Dieviškas Stumti: This is the final and only move his Zanpakutō has. This move costs a tremendous amount of spiritual pressure. It also has a charge up time for him to use it off four turns. So the defense will be required for him to get by when handling it. Divine Push is the name of the move as he channels his energy and prepares to release his Bankai's only move. The move is capable of destroying a small island or part of a larger one. The drawback is the long charge up time for use so time needs to be bought for him to use it. The second one is it uses a literal ton of stamina and energy. If you're destroying a place and declaring war, perhaps. But in a 1v1 it's not a good strategy especially if friendly units are around. His gravity zone vanishes after using this It's not that he exits Bankai, but he exerted it outwards and it takes three posts to reform.
  
  
  
  
  

Hollow General Information

Hollow Name:[/uVaitspiritas
[u]Reiatsu Color: Black and Gray
Hollow Appearance: It wears similar to Jaeden though dressing without the colorful changes to the outfit. Instead of blue the familiar color of blood stains, it's yukata outfit. Torn and shredded in several places as it's yellow piercing gaze lingers out. While the two of them are very similar beings in their own right. Both of them are sick of reality and it's stupid rules and logic. The being looks similar except its hair is neater and cut short. This allows it to wear the same clothing as he did during his Captain time. A black Captain's Haori adjourns the hollow's figure as it seems to regard Jaeden. Its form doesn't change from this as it wields a Zanpakutō similar to his own.

Hollow Personality

Sick of it: He and Jaeden share a common ground on this. Both of them are sick and tired of the entire world. Of betrayal those people leaving and people who just seem fake in general. It's not like he has any use for such beings. jaeden and he are the only constants in this annoying world. Noisy beings who pester and draw attention for nothing. They are meaningless bugs in a world of darkness flowing around. Just cockroaches feeding the fungus of this universe in its infinite wonder. Wiping them out seems like the right thing to do. Squash every single bug in the way so he and Jaeden can show them who's the top of the food chain. But for now, his goal seems quiet since the guy who shared the body was in charge. Jaeden's someone that his hollow despite its desire to rule him has seemed to like. He has a personality beneath it all that's darker and more malicious at times that just makes him hang on a bit longer.

Hungry: He hungers for a true enemy, someone he can truly fight and exert full power against. This nonsense of fighting a being who is half-assed. Is simply dull to him entirely. Remembering the being who caused so much damage to Jaeden. He wants to crush that being beneath his boot. To rip it's lungs out and leave it bleeding on the floor. But he's just hungry for a true fight. He wants Jaeden to conquer this miserable world. To find the answer to the end of this stupid circle. To hell with the cycle and everything else is what he says. The Soul King and this entire reality is nothing but a damn joke. A nightmare without an end or belief to it all. His hunger is for flesh or blood. It's for a conclusion to that emptiness left behind by that Arrancar so long. Jaeden and his mirror mindsets. He carries within him the darkness that Jaeden has refused to embrace or bare.

Hollow Powers

Recorded Time* Jaeden's hollow is able to create a recording of his previous move. This let's Jaeden record one instance of something he has done. He may only do one at a time not able to record multiple at a time. Or record other people's techniques. Jaeden's able to unleash these however at any moment he selects. These create a grey/black colored reiatsu. Making it possible for others to see the effect occurring.

This represents the darkness and grief of the past haunting Jaeden. So while his mask is active Jaeden has 30 charges of this power at his usage. Though these aren't perfect effects and can't use other people's techniques. When activated a second black and white form will become momentarily visible from Jaeden's body. This in essence is the recorded move in time, to keen observes it will be easily noticed to others it will merely blend in with his reiatsu.

This can copy Kido, Cero/Bala, Hoho, Sword techniques, and regular melee skills. But they must be Jaeden's and no one else.

[i]Cero/Bala/[i] He is able to produce ceros and fire them with extremely potent accuracy. Jaeden's ceroes are special along with his bala. He took to these moves fairly quickly finding them very useful. He's learned to shoot them from his sword or different angles. Using his hollow control to learn more powers from the creature. His fighting does seem to change when he puts the mask on. Becoming more violent and using his cero and balas to destroy things. Having three special ceroes of his own he can use. These help him figure out most of his moves within the process he has gotten them. At first, it was a very hard thing to learn for him on how to control his powers. But to some extent, he can use his hollow powers without his mask. Jaeden's truly embraced having Vait as part of him. This lets him perform amazing feats with his Cero and Bala based attacks. Combining them with other powers that normally wouldn't be possible. Jaeden and Vait are two sums of a whole that aren't as great without the other.
