This body has become extremely muscular because of his physical side. He stands 6 feet tall and weighs almost 240 pounds which is almost completely muscle. He has dark blonde hair with blue eyes that seem to speak to those that look at them. Despite his muscles he is still very flexible and fast and many can sense his speed just by looking at him. He wears the common shinigami apparel but it always appear singed at the edges frosted towards the middle. Steam can often be seen rising from it as well though most often when he is switching in between his personalites.

» Background: Chris did not have a normal life by any means. His mother died before he was born and they barely managed to save his life. He had a strange condition that nobody seemed to know anything about. He was two people but still only one. He could switch himself between two different versions of himself. It wasn’t split personality because he could remember everything that each one of himself had done. He tried to tell his father, teacher, and friends about his condition but none of them believed him. They all assumed that it was just an excuse for his behavior. One self was one of the strongest kids at school and very athletic while the other one was extremely intelligent. His school grades were erratic because his strength self would sometimes emerge and he wouldn’t be able to remember everything he had learned. His performance in sports was unreliable because his intelligent self just couldn’t seem to pull out enough strength. Nobody understood what has happening with him. They designed a special test to try and prove what he had been claiming. They knew that he could tell which self was present so when the intelligent self was present they gave him an IQ test and then immediately had him lift as much weight as he could. He scored a 190 on the IQ test, well into genius level but he could only lift about 130lb, just around average. Then when his strength self emerged they had him do the exact same tests. His score on the IQ test dropped to 93 which was low level average but he could now lift around 300lb. They decided that there was something going on with him though they still didn’t know what. In order to help others determine the difference between each self he worked on giving each one its own personality.
They would never get the chance to figure out what had caused this dual selfs within Chris because he would not be in the world very long. He was a kind a caring person much to his own misfortune. He could not turn away people in need no matter what version of himself was present. He was walking towards his job when he hear a woman screaming in an alley. Everyone on the street just kept walking but he could not. He ventured into the alley to find the woman assaulted by 3 men. He ran in to stop them with his strength and the woman got away yelling a thanks to him as she left. But just then his strength failed him as his intellect emerged. Now he was no match for the three men and was left dead in the alley in place of the woman. He knew that his condition is what had killed him and he could not rest until he knew what caused the condition. Because of this he became trapped in the world of the living as a spirit unable to get to the soul society.
His being trapped in the world of the living was perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to him. As a spirit he noticed his own power emanating off himself. At first he thought that nothing was different besides the fact that he was dead but soon it became clear that something was new. He was being chased by hollows almost every day and he had to fight just to keep existing. His condition did not die when he did. He could fight weak hollows with his strength but when his intelligent side came out he was excellent at running and hiding. It was a difficult life and he couldn’t understand why they kept coming after him. He knew that he must have some kind of power inside of him or they would just ignore him for a better target. He knew that the power would help him survive the hollows but he couldn’t seem to find what it was. He wondered if he could find out who his real parents were if he would be able to find his power. He wouldn’t get the chance because if you stay in the world of the living long enough the hollows will catch up with you. He was hiding from a particularly strong hollow when it managed to find him. Before it tried to devour him it said “Your spirit energy changed there. I don’t know how you did it but that won’t be enough to save you.” Soon after it bit into him which everyone knows will result in death or becoming a hollow.
It appeared that he was destined for the second path when a shinigami came and slew the hollow that had bitten him. When the shinigami turned to strike him down something stayed the reapers blade. Chris had not turned into a hollow immediately as expected. Chris was fighting the hollowfication as it was occurring. For this reason the shinigami decided to watch him from a distance. Chris’s mind rejected the hollowfication and caused him to delve deep inside of himself until he came upon a world inside of himself. The world was falling apart quickly so he didn’t get the best look at it but he heard a woman’s voice call out “Only you can stop this. The power you have is her in this broken world. Find this power and you can restore this place and yourself.” He searched for the power that she spoke of. He didn’t remember exactly how he found it, the next thing he knew he was back in his body at the world of the living with a sword in each hand and mask on his face. The mask was easily removed. He was relieved that he had avoid the fate of becoming a hollow though his body seemed strangely reluctant to let the power go.
Despite now being a shinigami he still could not seem to enter into the soul society. He did, however, manage to learn to control the changes between strength and intelligence. He wandered around the world of the living striking down hollows trying to help other souls trapped in the world of the living. He had managed to save himself but he knew that others could not. It was very rare that someone had natural Shinigami powers inside of them without learning them from the siereitei. He wanted to make sure as few people got hurt as possible. He noticed now that he had two different reiatsu. One was orange which showed up with his strength self and seemed to have a warmth to it and the other was a pale blue which was present with his intelligent self and had a strange chill to it. He fought hollow after hollow being able to defeat all of them easily enough. There was one that proved a challenging fight. He felt a power rise from within himself that he thought long forgotten. It was the power of his hollow. He had not actually gotten rid of it. It took control and won the fight for him but he didn’t know what happened to those that he was trying to protect. He needed to become stronger on his own and not rely on something that he could not control. He decided that he would have to find a way to control this hollow power so that he could achieve this goal.
He traveled far to find a place that was as secluded as possible. He did not know what would happen when he tried to take control of the hollow inside of himself but he wanted to make sure nobody would accidentally get hurt in the process. He knew that the hollow resided inside of him so he ventured back into his inner world. It was here that he found a man in a mask wielding two blades. “You’re here to try and control me aren’t you? You’re afraid of what I will do if you don’t. To be honest I don’t care if you have control so long as you’re stronger than me. That is the rule of the land. Survival of the fittest. If you’re strong you keep control if your weak then I do.” Chris pulled out his own swords and a vicious battle ensued. Chris tried to win with just strength because of what the hollow had said about being strong but it just wasn’t enough. He went in swinging and the hollow managed to dodge all his blows. He switched over to intelligence and managed to hit the hollow but now it had little effect. This hollow seemed to have the best of both worlds and Chris had to choose one or the other. He kept switching trying to find some way to beat down his opponent. His entire future depended on this fight. Using his intelligent side he managed to get the hollow to pin his own swords. Chris then quickly changed to strength and cut through inner hollow finally ending the fight. “So you are strong like I thought. You have won the right to control.” The hollow slowly faded as Chris began to leave his inner world.
Once the battle was done he returned to his body to see the shinigami that had been following him around. He was shocked to see that it was actually his father. “I never told you how your mother died. She was attacked by a hollow before you were born. They managed to save you but not before some of the hollow got inside of you apparently. You got the shinigami powers from me I guess. Put the two together and you get a vizard. When I killed the hollow that bit you I turned to strike you down to thinking you would go hollow. Officially I stopped because you appeared to resist but really its cause I couldn’t bring myself to hurt you. Now that you’re a fully realized vizard you need to go somewhere to learn more control of your powers. The best place for that is the vizard corps. I don’t know where they are at cause I’m not a vizard but I’m sure you can find your way there.” That was his father all right. Never giving him a chance to talk before he took off. He had always listened to dad and never went wrong yet so he listened this time as well. He set off to find the vizard corps to learn more about how to control his abilities.

» Personality: Chris has two different selves and for most of his life they had the exact same personality and still share many similarities. They are both extremely willing to help anyone in need. They will both put the needs of others before their own needs. They are both determined to become as strong as they can be and acknowledge that they alone are not enough. While he is in fact kind he is also very tough. He is willing to help others but not save them. He believes that people need to learn to become strong enough to help themselves. For this reason they will sometimes only watch someone in need and intervene only at the last moment. He feels that this will show others their own weaknesses so they can become stronger through that knowledge.
There are also several differences in the personalities as well. His strength personality he nurtured into a far more aggressive personality. His aggression is directed towards those that are cruel or evil. Those that use others to progress themselves will find this side of Chris falling upon them like a storm steel flashing all around him. He will not back off of an opponent once a fight begins and will do his best to use his strength to beat his opponents down into submission. Only once a fight is won and his opponent is bloody on the ground unable to move a muscle will he be willing to stop. He likes fighting and physical training and hates things that he needs to use his mind for as he usually has a disadvantage.
His intelligent side he turned into a calmer and more studious person. He will stay his distance and use range abilities to judge the strength of his opponents. Once he knows how to attack only then will he strike. If he beats on opponent he will let them go as soon as they admit they cannot win. He does not like unnecessary violence. He approaches everything like a puzzle and if one solution does not work he will only go on towards the next attempt until he finds something that will work. This one likes books and strategy games and even gambling as ways to expand is thinking abilities but prefers to avoid physical work because of his weakness.

» Zanpakutō Name: Vatra and Glacio
» Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: vatra
glacio

» Zanpakutō Spirit Personality: His Zanpukto has developed in much the same way as Chris himself has. His personalities each have their own reietsu which caused his zanpukto to split into two swords. Vatra is a man and has a fiery personality that is very aggressive and pushes Chris to his maximum potential. He wishes to strike down those that use strength to abuse others. He considers only Chris worthy of strength. Glacio is a gentle woman who cares for every person as if they were her child though no more so than Chris. She feels that everyone has the right to have someone watch over them. Her hands may be cold but her heart is warm. She only wishes the best for others. She wishes to protect people and gives Chris her power to allow him to do so in her stead.
» Inner World: His inner world has absorbed his dual spirit nature. One side of his world is a vast desert and the other is a mountainous region where the only flat area is the snow caps on the top. Vatra prefers the desert while Glacio prefers the mountains. In between the two is a small stretch of green hills and lakes. Each area has its own massive temple structure in the middle where the various spirits inside of him take shelter and train.

Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: Vatra takes the form of a longsword while sealed while Glacio prefers to be in the natural form of a katana.
» Release Phrase: Come forth and bring the end of all things twice over.
» Shikai Appearance: Vatra becomes larger and there is a hollow space in the middle of the sword which is filled with fire. In his strength form the flames fill the entire space but his intelligent form the flames seemed to be only half as strong. Glacio becomes a curved sickle blade with a jagged crystalline blade long enough to rest on the ground if Chris holds his arm down. His intelligent self the blade seems to glow but his strength form the blade seems frail and hollow.
» Shikai Abilities: Vatra is a flame blade that specializes in shooting flames after the blade is swung. The flames vary in strength. His first fire ability is to shoot a large number of small flaming orbs each one only about the size of a marble. They travel in a straight line and do not do very much damage but the vast number of them can cause great damage if they all collide with their target. His second ability is a large single flame the length of a large arm. This flame travels in an ark style and moves in a straight line burning everything it touches. His third ability is to create a large vortex of flames. This vortex is as wide as two men and 10 feet tall. This flame can be directed by Chris and will destroy everything in its path but it goes out quickly and chris will be unable to use fire moves until Vatra recharges its flames.
Glacio uses ice for all of its abilities. The simplest move is to increase the size of the spikes on the jagged blade allowing it to pierce farther into the body. It can also shot shards of sharp ice like icicles from its blade in a straight line towards his opponent. When Glacio’s blade is resting on the ground the ice can be channeled along the ground. This allows Glacio to turn the ground to ice making footing harder for Chris’s opponents. He can do this in a 36 square foot area. The size and shape can be changed but the overall area cannot. For example he can create a 6foot by 6foot square or make it reach out 36 feet but only be 1 foot wide or create a circle of ice around him with that area. He can also create is shards to erupt from the ground to try and catch his opponents unaware. This can take the form of large ice shards 4 feet tall that stay partially in the ground or several small ice shards the size of a pen that come out of the ground completely. The larger the shards the longer it takes Glacio to create another one. Glacio is more conservative and does not have a massive damage move developed at the moment.
Chris’s strength self has a warm reiatsu and prefers to use Vatra. Glacio’s attacks while in strength form seem to be weaker and easier to avoid or break while the fires seems to be more intense and stronger. His intelligent self has a cool reiatsu and as such uses Glacio much more than Vatra. The fire attacks seem to fizzle out long before reaching his opponent while the ice seemed strong and unbreakable.

» Inner Hollow Description:

» Inner Hollow Personality: The inner hollow is man that values strength above all else. He is a warrior straight and clear. He lives to fight strong opponents and to gain more power. He will only bow down to one who is stronger than he is. For this reason he fought with Chris to determine ownership of mind and body. He wants to be as strong as possible.
With that being said he knows that he cannot exist without Chris. Should one die then the other is sure to have the exact same fate. He knows that his own strength will be improved by aiding Chris. As far as Chris is concerned the inner hollow cares only about himself and will take over the moment that Chris is too weak to continue. The hollow wants to give Chris this idea because he wants Chris to be as strong as possible. The hollow secretly cares for Chris. He admires strength in all forms which includes the strength needed to know when to show mercy. He knows that Chris has many forms of strength which is why he has a deep respect for him. He knows that his personality is an oddity among hollows and attributes it to the fact that he was an inner hollow rather than just a pure hollow. He resides in the plain of Chris’s inner world.
» Inner Hollow Powers: His inner hollow is a combination of the two versions of Chris. He is strong and smart at the same time where Chris normally can only have one or the other. His inner hollow uses his abilities to create massive abilities both offensive and defensive using both fire and ice though arguably at great risk.

» Hollow Mask Appearance:

_____________________________________________



» Vizard Powers: The largest benefit is that both versions of Chris fuse together allowing him to use both strength and intelligence at the same time. This includes his single highest base stats, racial abilities, and will abilities. He can use both fire and Ice attacks equally well during vizard form. Each sword also gains a unique attack. Vatra can now be placed in the ground to cause massive pillars of fire to erupt from the ground in random spots around Chris in an area the size of a small house. The pillars are approximately 4 feet wide and shoot up about 8 feet tall. The ground where the pillars will erupt begin to glow orange with heat before shortly before the pillar actually appears. It is possible for these pillars to strike Chris as well. It is possible for him to create up to ten of these pillars in a short time but the faster he creates them the higher the risk of him hitting himself. The flames last for only a few minutes or until he pulls Vatra from the ground. Glacio can be used to create ice armor around Chris with jagged points protecting him from attacks and causing damage to any unarmed assult but makes it much harder for him to move.
