» Appearance Description:
Kendall is five foot and eleven inches tall, standing about four inches taller than the average population in Japan. Being this tall can make one seem a bit 'stringy' but due to his new income he has been able to maintain a high caloric diet that keeps his body build strong. At one hundred and seventy pounds he is build like a swimmer, his muscles tight and like strung steel but not sacked on top of each other like a body builder. At his joints he is super flexible, constant stretching to keep his mobility up needed in his high demand lifestyle.

Appearance wise Kendall's face is stern, a frown on his face when ever he is not actively smiling due to the stress that he has been under recently. Even so though a frown is rare, Kendall almost always smiling, not wanting to press his bad mood onto others. Bright yellow hair is kept neat, cut to be mildly presentable at all times. His face is clean shaven, smooth at all times, and his teeth polished with a sheen that looks artificial but actually he just keeps up with his appearance.

» Personality:
Kendall has a hard time dealing with authority, producing a rebellious nature that has caused her to defy the rules and norms that society has paved for him. Following this rebellion he often times does things out of spite, or just to cause a bit of ruckus. He has a "stay in your own lane," type of attitude and finds that the wars that the Shinigami have created to be unnecessarily rude and believes that everyone, other races included, should get over themselves and just get along. He describes himself as being very chill, not above making situations lighthearted if it is a friendly atmosphere.

He is so care free and less serious that he can often be called eccentric and unpredictable. He does not hesitate to state his orders out loud either through summarization or verbatim.

Kendall knows he seems weak, cowardly and lazy to his peers, but he doesn't seem phased when this is pointed out by his peers. Regarding his thoughts towards people Kendall is very empathic towards Humans, though his empathy leans more so he tries to help the preservation of humankind in any way possible. His empathy extends towards Humans namely extends to the weaker ones as they lack the natural skill to deal with the bigger picture and the Shinigami and Hollow that prey on their weakness and naivety. That said, he also seems to hold a sympathy towards Hollow, Arrancar and Quincy respectively. Having seen the damage that Shinigami have caused to each respective race, he tends to side with them on most occasions including ones that relate to their frustration and anger for being hunted like wild dogs. Because of this, he tends to bond with even the most brutal of species finding their company to be more enjoyable due to their mutual attitudes. At the same time, he has seen them in their worst moments, and knows when to steer clear of them.

Oddly enough on the battlefield, he is an utterly ruthless combatant. His aggressive nature shines bright during these times as breaking bones is nothing but a brutal display of power for him. Even with his aggression, he handles battles with absolute precision due to his flare for theatrics. He fights with such a ferocity that is almost unlike his usual character.



» Background Information:
Gerald was born in Oklahoma, his mother an immigrant from Canada and his father a Texas National. After getting their first son they moved him and their belongings to south Texas where his father bought a small peanut farm that produced oil for experimental bio-fuel for the government. It is there that he grew, the heat of the land and the dry desert toughening him into a strong child, used to the loneliness of the desert like landscape. In school he lacked though, his mind wandering from classes into drawing.

Eventually he got old enough to start working on the farm with his father, an older but extremely kind man that taught him everything that he knows. Mechanics for working on the equipment, a code of self respect and reliance. Even a little about fighting for the occasional confrontation that he might find himself in at school. He was becoming a young man that everyone in the family could be proud of, one that was independent and productive.

One day however, after he turned 12 his father went out to get some food from a nearby fast food stop and was blinded by the headlights of an oncoming semi. Some five hours later Kendall is sitting in the Critical Care unit watching his father on a respirator. The doctor had just gotten finished with telling him that his mother had died on impact, his father only just surviving is close on her heels. He watches in silence, refusing to cry or break under the pressure of losing everyone in his family in an instant. For just a few moments his father regains consciousness, gesturing at a white hospital bag on a nearby chair filled with his personal belongings.

Bringing it to his father he helps his weak hand search through the bag until it finds his old pair of pants, dried up with massive amounts of blood. Pulling out an old flask he hands it to he before pulling off the respirator.

Through gagging and coughing he speaks to him as best he can,"Hey kid-" a short fit of coughing interrupts him before he can catch his breath again," I know that this looks bad but its going to be alright. Your a strong boy. The doctors say that your mom is gone already and that I'm not long for this world." Kendall's face wells up with pain as he resists the urge to burst into tears. "No, its alright. Its okay to cry. Listen, my father gave me that flask when I moved out on my own but its time that you get it. As long as you promise to not drink until you turn 21 kid."

He smiles and nods his head as his father continues,"Your life isn't going to be easy, your going to have to work hard to make it alone out there but I know that you are smart enough. When you-" another fit overcomes him for about five minuets almost prompting him to go ask a nurse for help,"When you get back on your feet promise me that you will go to school and make some friends, make a life for yourself. Find a piece of life that you will enjoy and make something of it." With that line his father exhaled and that was the last breath that he took, the dam on Gerald's emotions breaking.

Agreeing to the last thing that his father said he studied while hopping about making grades just good enough to get into a community college and get a minors in mechanical engineering using the money from his fathers life insurance. With that knowledge he packed his things and moved to the farthest place that he could manage from Texas, to Karakura Town, Japan to open a small shop fixing motorcycles and mopeds.

Immediately after settling down into town his business takes off, work coming and going in waves but even so the cost of living is stressful, leaving him with nights where he wonders how the rent for his garage will get covered the following week.

He does however meet a few people that can relate with him, first is a Quincy female that runs the library a few minuets from his house. The two of them kick it off, making good friends and even getting him to muster up the courage for him to approach her one day on the possibility of going out on a date. Sadly though before he can get her to go out with him she vanishes, almost literally vanishing over night into the world without even giving notice to her job.


» Personality:


» Natural Attributes:
Natural Martial Artist: What better way to become stronger than to learn a variety of martial arts? Over the course of his years he's learned many different fighting styles that'll help him in any given situation. Take for instance kick-boxing is usually considered by many as a quick but powerful fighting style similar to that of Muay Thai; while he much rather prefers punching people's face in he tries to mixes things up with kicks as well to confuse his opponent.

Taekwondo Beginner:
He's learned that the Tiger Stance while it's a stance to make both small and big motions easy toward the front or back, allowing for easy maneuverability. However itMs greatest disadvantage is that it requires his punches to actually hit the enemy rather then a stance that utilizes kicks more.


» Passive Chi Abilities:





» Sei Abilities:

Chi of Rings:
Basically Kendall draws his users chi creating a white circle that spreads to about eight yards, complete with symbols once the enemy is within the rings range they'll be immediately pushed back at about 4 feet.
Note this technique is mostly used for kendall to gain distance from his enemies The ring can only activate its shield in one direction...meaning kendall cannot just pops shields around the circle and never be attacked whatsoever. To compensate the ability uses 1/3 of his chi and take about one post for it to be fully summoned, and it only can be used three times.


Eye of the Tiger:
Using the energy around them to draw onto his own body, amplifying his eyesight to extreme levels. This allows eagle like vision, vision comparable to having a x40 magnifying glass and finally the ability to see spiritual energy in anything around them. This vision is as if everything were made of energy, hot spots showing more vibrantly in color and weak energy showing as more grey.


Sarcio:

Description: By using the chi of the user to seal a wound this energy actually invigorates the cells where the wound occurred, essentially speeding up the healing process to abnormal speeds. This technique can only heal small wounds such as minor bruising and small cuts also this would take a great deal of time to heal major lacerations from a blade or even a broken bone. (1-4 posts). As such this technique cannot be performed in the heat of battle.



Lightning orb:
Drawing on the energy of every living thing within 100 meters he is able to use that and condense it into a 10 meter wide glowing electric white ball of spiritual energy. This orb is too wide to hold out in front of himself at ground level so he generally holds it above his head, hurling it down upon what ever target he see's fit. The orb has an outer shell that is strong and will not rupture to detonate unless this shell is broken. When the Orb detonates it detonates with the force of a dynamite explosion over a Radius of 25 meters.

Drawback: It cannot be used in that 100 meter area again for a minimum of 10 posts as the spiritual energies must recover from being drawn out in such large amounts.

» Dou Abilities:


Crackling Tiger Kick:

The overall kick is comprised of two movements, one is which the user jumps into the air at, leaving a trail of the condensed physical energy behind them, before crashing down with a hard kick at a target knocking them away, up to 50 meters to be specific. It can be used in any manner, either in a frontal kick, sideways, backwards, any numerous amounts of ways to utilize it. However it leaves him very wide open for a counter attack and can be easily dodged if the opponent is fast enough.

Chi Clones:

Gerald can utilize stored chi reserves to create a three-dimensional copy of himself. The clones that are created can last for up to 8 posts. These clones can also be manipulated by Ken to look like anything he has seen, thus giving them the ability to appear to bleed and sustain injuries as well as move within 60 meters of his presence. Aside from this, these clones can be used for combat related purposes as such an distracting the enemy while he lands a decisive blow or to help him create his more difficult but powerful attacks. The amount of clones he make is totally dependent on his Sei/Dou skill.

Beginner: 2 clones
Adept: 4 clones
Advanced: 8 clones
Master: 10 clones
Grandmaster: 20 clones


Tigers Protection

Description: By centering energy into their core the user is able to store energy in their body, ready to erupt the moment that an enemies energy is about to touch the users body. Just before contact the second half of this tech is completed activating the shield. Exerting the energy in the direction of the incoming attack the energy forms a three foot wide shield that is .5 meters away to intercept the attack.

Energizing Mix:
Gerald reaches into his back pocket revealing a small the bottle itself is about the size of an elixir once he drinks it instantly refills his chi but only by 1/3. (Has a 3 post cool down).


Tiger Empowerment
Consumes up to 1 bottle of Tigers Brew to empower his Physical and abilities with for 1-2 posts, although the damage of his strikes are reduced but is allowed to bypass armor. (Note Hierro and other durability-like effects are not affected)

» Seidou Abilities:


Kimba The White Tiger: Summon

Spoiler:

Summons the physical manifestation of Kimba, The White Tiger once summoned he immediately attacks his enemies with electric based attacks such as lightning bolts, streams of electricity etc.. however the techniques themselves can reach only 10 yards.

The tiger can be killed with enough brute force and will disperse after one post. In order summon him Ken bites on his thumb with enough pressure to inly placing his palm on the ground releasing various symbols across it allowing for the summoning to take place. However the main disadvantage is that depending on the amount of chi he has left in his body the summoning can either fail or work successfully but the summoned creature power is reduced by half.



Tiger Assault Style: Defend

Description: As with Assault, being able to defend ones self is imperative, being as important if not more. Drawing on the energies around him and using his own chi the user is able to create a variety of defensive techniques from shells, walls or other effects designed to intercept the offending ability. The fastest that a defense can be erected is equivalent to that of a bullet.

Tiger Assault Style: Bind

The user is able to use a variety of styles to perform the same overall effect of binding the target. Be that style binding the target with a cave of earth, lightning zapping their system, flaming handcuffs, water ropes tying them in place or even ice to freeze them in place. All of these abilities scale up to the opponents strength and willpower those with Advanced or higher will be able to break free of these abilites almost instantly while those of a lower tier will have be affected by said bindings for 1-2 post at minimum.
(This ability also has a 5 post cool down)





» Awakened Appearance: (Please Describe how your character looks when they are in their awakened state)
» Awakened Powers:


» Perfectly Awakened Appearance:

Access to Tupla: In this state Gerald's Tulpa represents a nine-tailed fox spirit infused with the flames of these flames symbolize his overall passion and motivation to keep striving forward and never let anyone get in the way of hurting those who care for deeply. While in this state Gerald can actually use the Tulpa in a variety of different ways to his advantage, for instance he can call upon the tulpa to create long arms to either punch foes with or allow the usage of his White Orb variants exclusive to only his perfect awakened appearance.

Combining both his Sei/Dou Gerald can summon three giant White orbs the ability still has the same effects when used and can be dodged though it can be quite difficult.
