Appearance:

Sado is a teenager of Mexican descent with wavy hair that generally hangs over his eyes. He is a muscular and extremely tall man and appears to be much older than he actually is. Sado has a tattoo on his left shoulder which reads Amore e Morte ("love and death" in Italian) and consists of a heart, a snake and angel wings around the heart. He typically wears either his school uniform or flashy short sleeved shirts with open collars. He also wears a dark, long-sleeved shirt with a rose emblazoned on the left sleeve.

Background:
Sado was born in Okinawa, Japan, but was taken to Mexico by his parents at a young age. After their deaths, Sado was adopted by Oscar Joaquín de la Rosa, a man believed to be his grandfather since Sado calls him Abuelo ("Grandfather" in Spanish). During his early years, Sado was extremely violent; exploiting his advantage in size, he intimidated and hit any other children who annoyed him.

Oscar Joaquín tried to teach Sado to be gentle, but was initially unsuccessful. One day, the fathers of the children Sado fought, seeking to punish him, attacked Sado. Oscar Joaquín stepped in between them, taking Sado's punishment without retaliation. Sado was inspired by this example to become a decent person. Afterwards, Oscar Joaquín gave Sado a Mexican coin. The coin was minted sometime between 1823 and 1909, and has the words "Republica Mexicana" ("Mexican Republic" in Spanish) engraved on it, as well as the Mexican National Emblem. The monetary reform of 1905 minted Mexican coins with the words, "Estados Unidos Mexicanos’," are seen on the Mexican peso today.

Years later, when Oscar Joaquín had died, Sado made a vow that he would never fight unless it was to protect others, as instructed — even if his own life was in danger. The coin would come to symbolize this vow, which Sado now claims to hold more value than his own life. Many years later, this was used against him when some thugs captured him and threatened to destroy the coin. Ichigo saved him from them, and made a pact with Sado that they would fight for each other, because Sado wouldn't fight to protect himself. When his Abuelo died, Sado decided to return to Japan, where he entered Mashiba Junior High School. Because of his constant involvement with gangsters, Sado gained a reputation as a ruthless gangster himself. Others were scared of him when he first entered Karakura High, though this later changed. He met Ichigo slightly before the school year started when he saved Ichigo from being injured by local thugs. Eventually, he and Ichigo graduated from Mashiba and entered Karakura High School.

Personality:
Sado is a quiet person and is sometimes the subject of jokes or bullies because he never fights back. Nonetheless, he is treated equally within his group of friends in Karakura. Sado also has a soft spot for cute things, like small animals and Kon's plushie form. Sado has also shown to be very intelligent; he ranked 11th out of 322 students in Karakura High School. Sado has a very loyal personality. He is quite loyal to his friends, especially Ichigo, who is one of his closest friends, even going as far as to try and defeat a Gotei 13 captain to go help him. He is also shown to be fearless and told so by numerous enemies such as the first Hollow he fights. He displays little emotion except when something he cares about is in danger.

Sado's favorite food is tomatoes. He also likes music, but rarely watches TV. The only programs he likes are Carnivore Kingdom, which starts at 8 a.m. on Sundays. He likes it so much that he bought the DVDs for it. As Kon is a cheap knock-off plushie of the main character of Carnivore Kingdom, Sado finds Kon especially cute. The other show he likes is Don Kanonji's Ghost Bust. Sado also has a bass guitar.

Likes: Carnivore Kingdom, Don Kanonji's Ghost Bust, music, tomatoes

Dislikes: Hollows, Bullies, Uneven fights

Fear: Losing his Abuelo's Spanish Coin

Powers:
Superhuman Strength: Sado possesses a remarkable amount of superhuman strength for a human. He was capable of lifting a steel beam that had fallen on him with little effort. He can effortlessly throw another person a half a block away with only one arm. Sado was able to battle a hollow with his bare fists and is strong enough to break a telephone pole and swing it like a bat. He was able to effortlessly through off the Hollow creature helpers of Shrieker. His strength is further enhanced with his armored arms, allowing him to take on those bigger them himself with relative ease as a single punch he was able to take left arm off the Hollow Bulbous D. He has also show enough skill to aid himself in a safe decent to the ground when falling from high above with tremendous force. He is so strong that he was able to effortlessly punch a 3rd Seat Shinigami sending him flying away half a block defeating him. His strength is such that he could punch a large Arrancar in the face shatter his mask remnant and send him flying a good distance. He effortlessly staves off a punch from Demora and throws the massive Arrancar. In its true form his right arm is powerful enough to take on a former Espada and send him flying a great distance through a wall and giving him a considerable injury. With his left arm he is powerful enough to stop and crush Gantenbainne's most powerful attack.

Enhanced Durability: Sado is unnaturally highly resistant to damage. He was able to withstand a falling steel beam, which bent upon contact with his back, with minor injury but relatively unfazed. He was able to take a head-on collision with a motorcycle, while the driver was seriously injured he was walked away with only minor injuries. He was able to sustain a clawed attack to his back by the Hollow Shrieker, that would have been fatal for anyone else. When his arms are armored he seems to attain an even greater level of endurance allowing him to take relentless beatings as well as being thrown into structures without showing any signs of injury. His durability also becomes great enough to block incoming attacks and blasts. He is also shown to be highly resilient mentally, able to endure a powerful attack to his psyche and continue fighting. In its true form his right arm is durable enough to effortlessly block attacks from a former Espada.

Spiritual Awareness: After his encounter with the parakeet containing the soul of Yūichi Shibata, he started to detect the approximate locations of spirits and Hollows, but could not fully see them. Only after saving Karin Kurosaki from a Hollow, during the Hollow-slaying match between Uryū and Ichigo, did Sado begin to fully see spirits.

Enhanced Speed: Sado's speed is above that of a average human being. The recent furtherance of Sado's powers seem to augment his natural agility to the point where his reaction time became sufficient enough to anticipate high-speed attacks and counter them. During his fight with Gantenbainne Sado develops a level of speed that can easily keep up with that of Sonído, even capable of appearing behind his opponent and attacking.

High Spiritual Power: He commonly uses spiritual energy to augment the strength of his punches. During his basics training in spirit energy with Kūkaku Shiba, Sado was shown to have intensely strong and high levels of spiritual energy though the Shiba Clan cannon orb was unstable. Ever since coming to Hueco Mundo, Sado felt that something about the power inside him was different than when he was in the human world. He was confused by that and up until his fight with Gantenbainne Mosqueda, his power had eluded him. But after that he was finally able to grasp it, and was from then on he was able to fight with his full strength. Ever since he came to Hueco Mundo he had felt the power inside him rustling, something he never felt while in Soul Society. The resulting increased the deeper he went into Hueco Mundo and it was the beating he recieved from Gantenbainne that caused the rustling to settle down. Upon coming to Hueco Mundo his power has been happily crying out like it had come home and through the violent welcome of its brethren reclaimed its sanity. Sado acknowledges that his power is less like a Shinigami's or Qunicy's and more like that of a Hollow. This allowed him to fully tap his powers, which manifests as armor on both arms, instead of just his right.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: While never officially trained, Sado has shown himself a powerful fighter even when outnumbered.

Armored Arms
Brazo Derecha de Gigante ("Right Arm of the Giant"): Due to the abundance of Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual energy and his lack of real control over it, said spiritual energy wildly pours out. That poured out spiritual energy is so think that it can affect every single spirit. By encountering the spiritual form of Ichigo Kurosaki constantly Sado's natural powers were pulled from the depths of his soul.

• Brazo Derecha de Gigante: After saving Karin Kurosaki, Ichigo’s sister, from a Hollow, while Ichigo and Uryuu were in a Hollow-slaying match, Chad was able to fully see spirits. Additionally, his latent spiritual ability was awakened and manifests as armor on his right arm, called Brazo Derecha de Gigante or Right Arm of the Giant. This armor is the colored black with a single red stripe going down the center, while two white stripes surround it (the same pattern as the Mexican military dress uniforms). This armor increases Chad’s strength beyond the impressive level that he has, and enables him to fire powerful energy blasts from his fist. Once Chad has received additional training from Yoruichi Shihouin, he is able to activate his powers at will and has gained enough stamina to fire multiple blasts instead of a single blast.

Brazo Izquierda del Diablo ( "Left Arm of the Devil") The Brazo Izquierda del Diablo or Left Arm of the Devil looks similar to his right arm, but the colors are inverted, with a spike protrudes from the shoulder and two more extend over the left side of his chest. The left arm is Chad’s primary offensive arm and he has gains a special attack known as La Muerte (Spanish: The Death) or The Strike of the Demon. To perform it, he merely punches his opponent, releasing a huge skull-shaped energy blast on contact.

• La Muerte (Spanish for "The Death", Japanese for "The Strike of the Demon"): A powerful special attack. His finger tips charge in the forms of five disks of crackling spiritual energy, then he forms a fist and punches his opponent. The blow is devastating and upon contact a huge skull-shape is created upon the surface behind the target. The power can easily defeat a Privaron Espada, and is most likely Sado's strongest attack, as it comes from the arm formed from Sado's will to attack, rather than defend.

RP Sample:
The large, Standby/Staging Room that lies within the heart of the Union HQ currently has no lights on. Considering that about a good quarter of non-critical areas in the Headquarters doesn't have lights as well, this is cause for a small emergency. Okay, maybe a bigger one if the blackout keeps creeping into all of the non-critical systems, not just where they are now.

Rena had been taking the time to peruse a manual one one of the large chairs avalible. When the lights blink out, she blinks herself, and looks up, then hear's ARTHUR's words. "... First a black out in here then ANOTHER one? I'm going to seriously have words with our Mech teams." She clears her throat, then calls out, louder: "Hey, is everybody okay? Who all is in here?"

Noriko's week so far stunk. It was a good thing it was almost over. just a few more hours to go right? But it couldn't just end-- the week had to go out with a.. fizzle? Yeah. Power outages aren't really bangs, are they? Noriko, currently perched on the couch, frowns. Glaring through the pitch darkness of the room, she flops onto her back on the couch and uses her hands a pillow with a sigh. "It was just getting to the good part, too..."

Yes, she'd been watching anime on the TV.

In the darkness, the sound of movement is heard, followed by "Hai," and than more movement as Yasutora Sado or Chad as he goes by moves and uses the walls for a sense of direction. He thinks for a moment as he looks round, letting his eyes adjust as best as they can and if there are any spirits or souls here, he will look for them and see if they will be willing to assist them.

Ash isn't here.

Rather, he's busy wandering around in the dark. Pikachu walks forward, the little rat's fur standing a little on end as it pours out light to help facilitate seeing. So as, you know, not to let someone run into something and get their neck broken.

Smart one, that Pokemon trainer.

He strolls along, moving carefully through the Central Complex's circular tunnels... munching on a candy bar, the only thing he could salvage from dinner.

Sighing, Rena stands up and carefully makes her way towards Pikachu. "Does anyone actuallly have a flashlight on them?" She asks, rustling around, thne there's a *THUNK* "Oops. There went my flashlight." A pauses. Ironic, perhaps? "How many Mech-type people do we have in here? Noriko? Chad?"

The random Pikachu pikas. It shakes it's fur, wandering around the room as a good NPC should, looking vaguely retarded. It would look like Pikachu's distant cousins haven't quite his wit, or his ability to not drown by not looking at the sky with their mouths open during rain.
