  Though he has no issue with his given name, most people find it easier to call him 'Ruu,' a nickname affectionately given to him by his brethren during his time in Rukongai. In fact, he often responds more readily to 'Ruu' than 'Rupert,' as so few people actually use his full name anymore. [everyone]
  
• Benihitomi
  Due to his striking sanguine eyes, many residents of Rukongai hurled all manner of names and insults at him. However, the one that infamously stuck was "Benihitomi," meaning "crimson pupil."

» Appearance Written: Rupert is a towering presence, impossible to overlook. His muscular frame speaks of countless hours of intense training, with veins tracing his arms and shoulders, a testament to his raw strength. His dark, unruly hair often falls over his face, casting shadows over his piercing crimson eyes—eyes that burn with a quiet, unwavering focus. An X-shaped scar cuts across the upper right side of his head, where the skin has healed unevenly, leaving a patch of discolored flesh, a visible reminder of a violent encounter. Jagged and pronounced, the scar only adds to his intimidating aura, a physical mark of battles survived. Despite his size and power, Rupert moves with a surprising grace, each motion deliberate, hinting at the restrained strength simmering just beneath the surface.

His Shinigami uniform is immaculate, a clear sign of his recent graduation from the academy. The black kosode and hakama fit him perfectly, their crisp lines unmarked by battle. His obi is tightly secured, and the haori, though traditional, drapes lightly over his broad shoulders, a stark contrast to his rugged appearance. Though he radiates raw intensity, his uniform remains untouched by the wear of combat, still bearing the neatness of someone fresh from training. This pristine attire stands in sharp contrast to the hardened warrior wearing it, as if it hasn't yet caught up with the fierce journey that lies ahead.

» History:
Human Life
Rupert Haroldson, the youngest of four children, was born in 1923 in the peaceful village of Whitby, Yorkshire, to a diligent family. His father was employed in the docks, while his mother earned additional income through laundry services and house cleaning. Since he was young, Rupert recognized the significance of working hard and being resilient. Village life was straightforward yet influenced by the aftermath of the Great Depression, which had impacted all of Europe.

Rupert had a profound passion for nature. He would dedicate hours to roaming the rural areas, scaling trees, and assisting his family in their garden, which supplied essential sustenance in challenging times. He was a considerate and calm boy who seldom stirred up trouble, yet was recognized for his strong belief in justice and readiness to protect others. At the age of 16, he dropped out of school to assist his father at the docks, keen on contributing to his family's financial stability during challenging economic circumstances.

In 1939, with Europe in turmoil once more, 16-year-old Rupert was aware that he would soon be enlisted to fight in the war. After Poland was invaded, the United Kingdom entered the war and life changed drastically.

When Rupert reached the age of 18 in 1941, his life took a turn when a letter arrived. He was conscripted into the British Army as a contribution to the national cause during World War II. He bid farewell to his family and the well-known scenery of Yorkshire before being transferred to a training camp in southern England. At that place, Rupert gained expertise in fighting techniques, honed his shooting abilities, and endured the rigorous physical challenges of military instruction. Even though he was already resilient, the military tested him in ways he had never thought possible.

Upon finishing basic training, Rupert was placed in the 1st Battalion of the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, a regiment expected to face intense combat in the future. In 1943, amid multiple battlefronts, Rupert and his unit were deployed to North Africa with the British Eighth Army led by General Bernard Montgomery. It was there that Rupert first encountered the brutal truths of warfare, confronting the German Afrika Korps led by General Erwin Rommel. The heat, sandstorms, and constant threat of attack were unfamiliar challenges, but Rupert adjusted rapidly, developing strong connections with his fellow soldiers, who turned into a family in the midst of the turmoil.

Rupert's battalion was transferred from North Africa to Italy as a part of the Allied invasion, arriving in Sicily in 1943. The Italian campaign was harsh, featuring difficult terrain and a resolute opponent. Rupert experienced his first exposure to actual warfare at Monte Cassino, known as one of the most challenging and brutal battles in Italy. He was deeply affected by the constant attacks, intense hand-to-hand combat in the destroyed areas, and the loss of many close friends. However, Rupert stayed determined, motivated by a feeling of obligation and the wish to safeguard his fellow soldiers.

Rupert's team kept advancing through Italy, battling northward to reach Rome. While he appeared composed on the outside, the atrocities of war burdened him greatly. The losses accumulated, with a fresh challenge appearing every day. The peaceful Yorkshire countryside seemed far away as Rupert encountered continuous gunfire, artillery shells, and the constant fear of death. Despite facing challenges, Rupert proved himself as a dependable and courageous soldier, gaining admiration from both his superiors and comrades.

Following the D-Day landings in June 1944, Rupert and his battalion were relocated to Normandy after leaving Italy. At that time, the Allies were advancing into France, and Rupert was suddenly thrown into some of the most intense battles of the war. The Battle of Normandy was a prolonged struggle against heavily fortified German troops. Urban areas and rural communities turned into war zones, with each piece of land fiercely contested. Rupert, a seasoned soldier now, guided his platoon along destroyed streets, evading sniper shots, and breaking through the thick hedgerows that impeded their progress.

The war persisted, but Rupert persevered through the harsh winter of 1944, experiencing combat in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge. Even though he was both physically and mentally tired, Rupert's determination remained steadfast. His comrades greatly relied on his invaluable experience and leadership during the final desperate counterattacks of the German army.

After the war in Europe came to a close in May 1945, Rupert was among the small number of soldiers in his regiment who had made it through the entire fighting. He had participated in some of the most important battles of World War II, ranging from North Africa to Italy and France. Returning to Whitby, he was a different person, bearing the hidden wounds of warfare. Rupert, while being proud of his service, never romanticized the battles he had participated in. He seldom mentioned the war, opting instead to concentrate on reconstructing his life and assisting others in the aftermath of the war.

Following the war, Rupert went back to Whitby and continued working as a dock laborer, later tying the knot and beginning his own family. Even though he possessed a quiet strength and resilience that helped him survive the darkest days of World War II, the wounds of battle went beyond what was visible to others. While Rupert seldom discussed the terrors he had experienced, the toll of extended combat had left his body weakened in ways that remained unknown to him. His immune system was weakened by the malnutrition, lack of sleep, and continuous exposure to harsh conditions. Sadly, Rupert did not die from a battle injury or the lasting impacts of war. At the age of 30, in 1953, he caught a basic flu. His body, weakened from the war, succumbed to the infection, turning what should have been a minor illness into a deadly one. Despite surviving the intensity of combat, he was ultimately taken by this silent, invisible foe, resulting in his family and community grieving for a man who had provided greatly but was ultimately defeated by the hidden scars of war.

Afterlife / Plus
Additionally, Rupert discovered a newfound feeling of calmness that was completely unfamiliar to him in his life. Following the challenges of war, the weariness of his last years, and the unexpected loss of his early death, he anticipated the afterlife to be a continuous battle. However, what he discovered was tranquility—a life without the troubles that had dragged him down. He no longer had to bear the concerns of staying alive, the impact of fighting in battles, or the painful memories of those who died in combat. Currently existing as a spirit, he floated through his previous existence as a quiet onlooker, observing the world he had abandoned.

His fate's chain, despite decaying gradually, served as a tangible symbol of his diminishing time. For many people, this deterioration would elicit fear as they gradually turn into an empty shell. However, the corroding chain did not cause Rupert to feel fear. He experienced no hurry, no worry about what was coming next. Instead, he took comfort in the special advantage that came with being a Plus: he was still able to keep an eye on his family. Even after passing away, Rupert continued to protect the people he cared about, staying near them as a hidden guardian.

Every day, he would stay close to his wife, who had become a widow too soon. He observed her continue on with the muted resilience he had always respected. Even though she was mourning, she successfully raised their kids by herself, imparting to them the resilience Rupert had once showed her. Next came the children - the source of his pride and happiness. Rupert could no more communicate with them, couldn't provide them guidance or solace in hard times, yet he took great satisfaction in just observing their development. He was amazed by the way they maneuvered through their lives, making decisions, gaining wisdom from errors, and creating their own journeys.

Watching his children grow up gave him a sense of tranquility. The older son, who was a child when Rupert died, had become a capable young man, assuming tasks that Rupert wasn't able to complete in his lifetime. Rupert, who his daughter had hardly known, found happiness in witnessing her chase her dreams as she grew into a compassionate and smart woman. While he remained unseen, he frequently sensed their awareness of his presence, as if they were aware of his vigilant gaze from the afterlife.

His peace remained undisturbed by the gradual deterioration of his chain. In a sense, it made him realize the delicate nature of time, whether in life or in death. He had come to terms with the fact that he would eventually have to leave. The erosion of the chain was as certain as the changing seasons, both natural and unstoppable. However, he did not feel scared. Rupert had already encountered death before, and now it felt less intimidating. He believed he had achieved his life goals. He had engaged in battles, lived through them, and experienced love. His sole responsibility now was to observe, to observe, and to find solace in the fact that his family was progressing, just as he had in the past.

When the Shinigami arrived for him, emerging from the mist like a being from a different realm, Rupert was prepared. The black-robed figure clarified the meaning of Konsō, which would transition him to the next realm, and despite the resistance from many Pluses, Rupert embraced it willingly. He had no loose ends, no lingering sorrows. His life was filled with challenges and selflessness, but also with affection, significance, and small triumphs.

When the Shinigami's sword made contact with his forehead, Rupert experienced an immense feeling of tranquility. The realm of the living - the individuals he had observed and cared for - started to blend and vanish, yet it was not perceived as a loss. Rather, it seemed like the perfect ending to a fulfilling chapter. He was not abandoning his family; he had already provided them with all he had. As he entered uncharted territory, he had faith that they would remain resilient and competent, just as they had already shown.

Rupert welcomed the change. Having fought battles, both outward and inward, for most of his life, embracing the afterlife peacefully felt like a blessing. Having fulfilled his duties as both a soldier and a father in life, he was now prepared to transition into the next phase of his being. Rupert was certain that he would discover the inner peace he had been seeking his entire life, no matter where the Shinigami was leading him.

His impressive physique enables him to pick up heavy items, handle big weapons, and participate in hand-to-hand combat with great strength.

His powerful blows hit with forceful impact, establishing him as a formidable presence in situations requiring sheer strength.
  
• Endurance: Rupert's exceptional stamina enables him to overcome both physical and mental fatigue that would challenge others. He is able to engage in fighting or working for extended periods without displaying signs of tiredness, which makes him highly durable in long, strenuous battles. His capacity to endure tough circumstances and persevere, even when injured or exhausted, renders him a dependable resource in extended conflicts or strenuous duties.
  
• Agility: Rupert, even with his bulky frame, displays unexpected agility. Thanks to his swift reflexes and agile movements, he can easily avoid attacks and move through difficult terrain without losing speed. Rupert's ability to quickly adjust and outsmart opponents gives him a tactical advantage in combat, whether avoiding enemy attacks or navigating the battlefield with speed.
  
• Leadership: Rupert excels in leadership when leading a team or group. His innate talent for building trust and loyalty enables him to lead others into challenging situations with ease. Remaining composed in stressful situations, Rupert consistently makes clear decisions that frequently result in positive results. His ability to think strategically, complemented by a thorough knowledge of his allies' capabilities and limitations, allows him to organize intricate strategies, transforming disorderly scenarios into chances for success.
  
• Reiryoku: Rupert's Reiryoku displays undeniable strength, filled with pure spiritual energy suggesting great possibilities. The people around him frequently sense his spiritual energy, which is felt in waves that indicate he has not yet fully utilized his potential. Nevertheless, this power is slightly underdeveloped because of his lack of experience. Although his Reiryoku gives him great combat abilities, there are times when it either spikes out of control or lacks the finesse of experienced fighters. In time and with practice, Rupert's Reiryoku has the potential to become a formidable force, but currently it is a strong yet uncontrollable part of his skills.
  

» Racial Abilities:

• Zanjutsu: Rupert is skilled in Zanjutsu, showing a strong talent for the art of sword fighting. His skill in using a blade with accuracy and strength makes him a formidable adversary in blade-to-blade combat. Rupert merges his sheer power with controlled methods, executing quick, resolute attacks that allow no margin for mistakes. Despite his aggressive style, he demonstrates the potential for improvement as he relies on his instincts in combat. As Rupert's abilities improve, his proficiency in Zanjutsu has the potential to develop into a powerful and skillful combination.
  
• Hakuda: Rupert's skill in hand-to-hand combat, known as Hakuda, works well with his impressive strength. His punches are strong, strategic, and frequently too much for his rivals to handle. While he continues to refine his skills, his inherent ability in Hakuda enables him to narrow the distance with his adversaries, using his innate physical strength to excel in hand-to-hand combat. Rupert's nimbleness and quick reactions improve his capacity to avoid, retaliate, and land powerful strikes, making him a strong combatant even in the absence of a weapon.
  
• Shunpo: Rupert, despite being large and strong, is incredibly proficient in Shunpo, the technique of rapid movement. His rapid speed enables him to swiftly shorten distances, catching adversaries off guard with sudden, nearly imperceptible accelerations. Even though his Shunpo works well, it still lacks the polish of a seasoned user, making it somewhat unrefined. Even so, Rupert's inherent nimbleness and promise indicate that, through additional training, his Shunpo could achieve a level of accuracy and quickness that would render him almost invincible in combat.
  

» Zanpakutō Name: Ryūsei no Koi (流星の鯉) – "Falling Star Koi"

» Spirit Appearnce: Ryūsei no Koi appears as a spinning cluster of many small to medium-sized koi fish, each one shining with a mystical, heavenly light. They shine with a range of bright colors like deep blues, fiery oranges, radiant golds, and subtle silvers, giving the impression of living pieces of stardust moving through the air or water.

The koi range in size from small, fragile fish barely bigger than a hand, to bigger, medium-sized koi with a strong presence. Even though they are independent, they still manage to keep a peaceful equilibrium by swiftly moving and gliding in elegant curves as if following patterns of stars in the sky. Their motion is captivating, often producing slight traces of glowing energy, as though they are carrying the starlight along with them.

Every koi swims and behaves on its own, but they interact with each other using coordinated movements, changing their trajectories in smooth, rhythmic sequences. At times, they disperse in every direction, resembling a cluster of stars in the night sky; other times, they come together in a stunning spiral, creating a singular force.

Their eyes sparkle with a gentle, supernatural glow, and they appear to move smoothly between worlds, sometimes appearing faint before reappearing, as if they are navigating both the tangible and celestial realms. Even though they seem fragile, their combined power holds a hidden resilience—when in danger, the koi can swiftly propel forward like shooting stars, attacking with precise speed, their shining bodies creating stunning trails of light behind them.

» Spirit Personailty: The essence of Ryūsei no Koi's personality is that of a unified being represented by many koi, embodying a playful, inquisitive, and youthful nature with a collective consciousness. Every koi displays an identical personality, functioning as a unified group despite each fish moving independently, forming a lively and playful aura that cannot be overlooked.

Ryūsei no Koi is similar to a cluster of youthful happiness, always shifting back and forth between inquisitiveness and enthusiasm. The koi enjoy exploring their environment, frequently darting around playfully, swirling around their keeper in a beautiful display of light and color. They can be easily sidetracked by new and interesting things, often straying to explore shiny items or unusual occurrences, before quickly refocusing with enthusiasm. Their inclination to find amusement easily makes them charming yet somewhat unpredictable.

They possess a strong love for amusement, frequently teasing Rupert with their playful behaviors. At times, they may quickly move away, sparking a fun chase, or swim in unpredictable ways to confuse and entertain. They never have negative interactions - they truly delight in Rupert's company and try to bring joy to every situation with their infectious enthusiasm.

Even though Ryūsei no Koi may seem young, they display a level of wisdom that surpasses their age, similar to a child who unknowingly possesses profound insight. They frequently offer guidance in cryptic or whimsical manners, concealing their actual comprehension through humor and cheerful remarks. During important times, their lightheartedness decreases, and the koi fish will group together, concentrating with a nearly serious resolve, while still retaining their youthful energy beneath the exterior.

They enjoy challenges and are enthusiastic about assisting, often encouraging them to explore new strategies or push boundaries, but always in a playful way. "Let's go! "Let's speed up!" they could say together, their voices sounding like the ringing of bells, encouraging Rupert to take daring chances. They excel in ever-changing scenarios, enjoying the chance to showcase their abilities, and they mark success with a surge of liveliness, twirling around like fireworks.

» Inner World: The inner essence of Ryūsei no Koi mirrors the spirited nature of the spirit itself - an otherworldly scene where the distinctions between sky, water, and stars blend together in a continuous domain of infinite beauty and movement.

Upon entering this realm, you discover yourself on the expanse of an endless, glistening lake made of crystals. The water is incredibly transparent, mirroring the sky above flawlessly, making you feel like you're surrounded by stars. The sky remains in a perpetual state of twilight, displaying a mix of purples, blues, and faint oranges, as the horizon seamlessly merges with the lake, creating an illusion of their boundaries being indistinguishable.

In the sky above, numerous stars are twinkling and pulsing with a gentle, ethereal glow. The stars appear so close that they could be touched, with their reflections creating the illusion of shimmering celestial bodies filling both the sky and water's surface. Sometimes, a shooting star zooms through the sky, creating a short stream of light behind it, reflecting the essence of the soul.

The Ryūsei no Koi swim without limitation in this area, gliding between the sky and the lake. Playing in the water, they quickly move in and out, occasionally jumping through the air as if it was water, leaving behind faint trails of light. Every koi creates a wave as it moves, changing how the stars and sky are reflected with each playful movement.

At the heart of this peaceful yet bustling world lies a tiny island, just big enough for one person to comfortably sit. It is blanketed in gentle grass that emits a slight silver glow, similar to the moon's light. A solitary tree, tall and fragile, protrudes from the center of the island. Covered in numerous small, glowing flowers resembling stardust, the tree's branches gracefully drop them into the water below. The tree appears to be linked to the soul, emitting a serene, happy vibe that beats in harmony with the koi's motions.

The ambiance of this planet is forever twilight - a realm suspended between day and night, where time flows as easily and unrestricted as the koi fish. The calm atmosphere with a gentle breeze and quiet water creates a peaceful setting, yet there is a feeling of impending excitement, like the quiet before a burst of laughter or a sudden game. The koi invite you to join their dance, excited to show you their world of amazement and fun.

» Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: The concealed version of Ryūsei no Koi is a graceful sword with understated elements inspired by the sky and the sea. The shiny blade reflects light gently, showing subtle, swirling designs that resemble water ripples, etched on its surface. The handle is covered in dark blue silk, embellished with silver thread in a koi scale design, while the circular handguard showcases koi circling a crescent moon. A tiny silver charm in the shape of a koi fish hangs from the tip of the handle, making a gentle sound as the sword moves, giving it a whimsical aspect.

The cover is a rich black color with subtle specks resembling stardust, reminiscent of a starry night sky. The sheath is decorated with a delicate engraving of koi swimming up, representing their mythical evolution into dragons. When pulled out, the blade produces a gentle, melodious ringing, reminiscent of the faint noise of stars or water hitting a surface. The sword's beauty, refined and understated, reflects the playful and graceful spirit of the koi swimming inside, unveiling hidden depths when examined closely.


» Shikai Release Phrase: "Shine and strike true, Ryūsei no Koi!" ( 輝け、そして確実に打て、流星の鯉 )

» Shikai Release Action: While getting ready to activate his Shikai, Rupert firmly holds the hilt of his Zanpakutō as energy starts to gather, causing the air around him to subtly change with a soft hum. Drawing in a deep breath, he narrows his eyes in concentration and lifts his blade in front of him in a horizontal position. The dim light of starlight starts to shine from the sword, creating gentle reflections on the battlefield.

Rupert confidently swings the sword in a smooth, precise motion while speaking firmly, commanding, "Shine and strike true, Ryūsei no Koi". As he speaks, the sword releases a stunning explosion of luminous energy, beams of light taking the form of koi fish spiral out from the blade, moving gracefully through the air and then coming together to form glowing streams that encircle him, poised to attack with deadly precision.

» Shikai Appearance: When he utters the Shikai's name, his Zanpakutō's blade starts to shine softly, like starlight gathering on its edge. The light rapidly becomes stronger, and shimmering figures shaped like koi fish start to take shape around the sword, moving through the air with smooth and elegant movements.

The blade stretches a little and takes on a partly see-through appearance, like shiny glass filled with glowing energy. The pure light koi swim around Rupert, reflecting and illuminating the surroundings with their gentle glow. Every koi fish exudes a tranquil, otherworldly aura, yet they also possess a subdued strength, reminiscent of a shooting star's potential energy.

As the koi swim faster, they appear to merge with the blade, transforming into beams of light that emanate from its tip and edges. Once fully metamorphosed, Rupert's Zanpakutō emits radiant energy in the form of koi-shaped beams, exuding an aura of powerful radiance under control. The change concludes with a quick flash of light, and Rupert is now prepared to release accurate, glowing attacks.

» Shikai Abilities: Light flows from Rupert's blade in the form of koi-shaped beams of radiant energy, turning it into a channel for illumination. Rupert can easily control each koi beam precisely to track enemies, break through defenses, and hit targets accurately while in mid-air. The beams slice through the atmosphere in precise, direct paths, similar to sunlight bouncing off a sleek object. Rupert is able to make accurate and controlled attacks from afar by manipulating the movement of these bright koi.


» Bankai Name: "Rise and claim the skies, Ryūkoi Tenshō!" ( 立ち上がれ、空を掴め、竜鯉天昇！)

» Bankai Release Action: Rupert tightly holds the handle of his Zanpakutō as he gets ready to unleash his Bankai. With one fluid and intentional movement, he slides his hand along the sharp edge, seemingly coaxing out the great strength concealed within. The blade starts shining, throbbing with radiant power. With calm authority, he speaks as his hand reaches the tip, "Rise and claim the skies, Ryūkoi Tenshō!" In that instant, the sword transforms into numerous koi fish, multiplying and rising towards the sky, morphing into many bright dragons that encircle him, prepared to unleash their power.

» Bankai Appearance: When Rupert's Bankai reaches its complete form, the change is stunning and impressive. As the number of koi increases and rises, their shapes change and extend into numerous celestial dragons. Every dragon shines with the stars' luminosity, their forms made of radiant, flowing energy, as if they emerged from the very sky at night. Their snake-like shapes elegantly twist through the atmosphere, radiating a gentle yet strong glow that lights up their surroundings.

The tails of the dragons fall down and coil around Rupert's body, forming a protective circle. Their shapes contort and merge, forming a grand shield of cosmic power around him, their ghostly tails interlocking to protect and strengthen him. Above, numerous dragon heads ascend into the sky, each moving separately yet in flawless harmony, resembling a hydra with numerous twisting necks.

Every dragon head is filled with energy, their mouths shining with the strength of starlight, prepared to attack at Rupert's order. Rupert is enveloped by the majestic and menacing presence of the celestial hydra as its glowing bodies and poised heads create a awe-inspiring yet frightening sight. His form is tightly gripped by the tails, making him look like a warrior crowned by celestial beings, with his Bankai not just representing power but also serving as a flowing, dynamic dragon armor, prepared to unleash a powerful storm of attacks.


» Bankai Abilities: Each head of the dragon can deliver a powerful strike with great speed and accuracy. Their attacks are overpowering due to the heaviness of their bodies infused with spiritual energy, able to break through defenses and cause widespread destruction. A dragon head strike can easily break stone, tear metal, and destroy enemies with intense power. The separate movements of the heads give Rupert the ability to either attack multiple targets at once or concentrate all their strength on one impactful strike.

Each dragon head is capable of collecting spiritual energy within its mouth, shining with the brightness of celestial starlight. Following a short burst, the heads have the ability to release intense beams of bright light, strong enough to burn anything in their way. These beams are infused with such a pure and intense spiritual energy that they have the ability to destroy most physical and spiritual entities, resulting in scorched earth and evaporated foes. Rupert has the ability to manipulate the beams, either spreading them out to vanquish several enemies on the battlefield or focusing them on one target for the most destructive impact.
