-Appearance-
Height/Weight: 5'9"/108 lbs
Physical Description:
Standing at a good 5'9", Corv has messy purple shoulder length hair that has an "emo swoosh" that parts between his eyes. Despite the messy-ness, it is quite well kept as no grease can be found on it. And yes, that hair color is natural. He wears a black zip-up jacket with a white hood. The hood of the jacket has to thin lengths of fabric that are black-tipped coming from the head, like rabbit ears. Underneath the jacket, he wear a solid black shirt that is ripped around the collar. To go along with this, he has black jeans for his pants, and with black boots for his shoes. Quite a lot of black, eh?
His face is quite pointed, giving him a boyish look to his face. He constantly looks uninterested or angry. This is unintentional, and is just how his face is. His eyes are red, and are somewhat thin and pointed at the ends. His eyebrows are thin as well, and pointed upward slightly but curve down at they get closer to the end, giving them a rounded look. In his left earlobe is an earring. The earring is a simple small bar of metal that points down. His neck is a bit on the thick side, but it gives his face more of a full feeling.

Overall Personality: If you look at Corvus, and see a very irritable jerk, you'd probably be pretty spot on. He doesn't play well with others, and usually just "goes with his gut" on any decisions. Probably not the greatest of Ideas. He doesn't like waiting. At all. So if you deal with him, you might wanna be quick about it or he's going to just walk away. Or he's going to end up pulling some idiotic and childish prank on you. Like I said, irritable jerk. To go alongside that, he gets mad from pretty much any anger inducing thing, adding fuel to the fire with his enjoyment of fighting.
Despite all this, however, he DOES have a bit of a soft side to him. He enjoys playing with small animal like birds, cats, rats, etc. Generally most animals, but especially small ones. He think they're cute. Don't judge. He's also loved candy and sweets ever since he was a small child. Meaning he absolutely HATES SOUR THINGS. Needless to say he had lots of cavities, and hated the dentist immensely. To burn off all those sweets, Corv loves to run. Maybe it developed by running from teachers he got in trouble with when he was younger? Who knows. This is also why he loved warm, dry places. Also attributed to his fear of drowning and water, which makes things wet. He hates and fears spiders, the dark, and tigers as well. Yes, tigers.
Corv also doesn't really like loud places, because it can give him a headache really easily, and makes him even more irritable than he already is. He hates Hollows because he see's them as annoying bugs who just feed and feed to fill their empty lives. Which they are, but it pisses him off a lot. Also, he was almost killed by one as a plus, so there's that. His enjoyment of fighting comes from his anger, and also his love of Professional Fighting. Despite his "jock" like tendencies, he's actually quite a bookworm. He loves to read, and loves to gain knowledge. He also wants to explore and see beautiful places, his own birth town being beautiful but he wants to see other things as well. And to top it all off, he wants to become stronger so he can...well simply get stronger. He also wants to become more like the person he admires. When he's around people who are weaker than he is, he acts like a sort of coach. Hard, but also not a person who hates them. He wants to see them become stronger, just like the young group of kids he taught in Rukongai. He can yell and scream at them, but he means well. When there's a person stronger than him, however, he respects them and may even seem a little too willing to fight them. He see's fighting someone stronger as a way to train and make himself stronger in the process.He doesn't really hate any race besides Hollows and any variants of them. This includes Arrancar as well. But, he does feel some sympathy towards Hollows and their constant suffering through hunger. This sympathy is limited towards Hollows only, though, since Arrancar are fully aware of what they are doing and do not hunger for souls as feral Hollows do. Despite being a Shinigami, he actually likes Quincy. He doesn't like how their bows completely eradicate the Souls of Hollows rather than purifying them like a Zanpakutou would, he see's it as being somewhat heartless and uncaring towards the souls being tormented from being Hollows. But besides that, he likes Quincies quite a lot.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style: Corvus uses a style of Kenjutsu to fight. Kenjutsu is literally the "art/science of the sword". It is usually practiced with military exercises with a sparring partner. It's the traditional art of fighting in Japan. He uses this form, but in a sort of skewered way. He's more aggressive with strikes, not following combat drills. He would still practice by sparring and using Bokken, but he fights a bit more viciously. This is caused by his enjoyment of fighting, which causes him to lose the controlled way of attacking that is used in Kenjutsu. A good example of how he attacks would probably best be shown in how Zaraki fights. Vicious, but not without form, reason, or skill.
All in all, he would prefer to fight in Shikai form over sealed. As he does like the extension and reach he can get with a blade, he still prefers good old hand to hand fighting. Mainly because of the fight he watched as a kid. The fights included MMA, Boxing, Wrestling, etc. and they all really seemed interesting to him. Plus, he thinks that fighting hand to hand has a bit more 'honor' to it. Since there's no artificial strength like with swords, which can be made to be powerful. When it comes to hand to hand combat, it's all skill and strength.
When he's in Shikai, he would probably prefer to use Fuuatsuryokuha over the others. This is because Tatsumaki and Kazeno Kabe don't allow him to fight with a physical weapon. It's also a good transition for when he can't use his brawling skills, allows him a multitude of ways to fight against an opponent. Now, he prefers Kazeno kabe over Tatsumaki. This is of course, after Fuuatsuryokuha. The preference goes: Fuuatsuryokuha>Kazeno Kabe>Tatsumaki. This is because Kazeno Kabe can be used to protect himself and others during a fight, which he see's as a much more vital part of fighting than pushing away an enemy, or breaking the enemies own guard. As they say, a good defense is the best offense.

Zanapkutou Release Names(Include both Shikai and Bankai names, and call out phrases)
"Blow about, Zephyra!"
Overall Ability:
"Wind Pressure"
Corvus' ability is "Wind Pressure". It's the manipulation of reiatsu around him, and even it's pressure. But, the reiatsu takes the form of "wind" to the naked eye. It can be used in multiple offensive and defensive scenarios, being very simple yet very versatile.
Shikai Overall Ability:
While in Shikai, the amount of reiatsu Corvus can control is very limited, and the range of which he can control reiatsu is small, but not so small that he can't attack from a distance. The range would be a good 10-15 feet away from him. The reiatsu he manipulated can travel at speef of about 15-25 mph. His wings are moderate size, and can hold up to about 200 lbs over his own weight. They help him jump higher, and can give him the ability to fly. This means he can move without having to constantly land in order to jump ahead. They're really just a way to move, and attack. If the reiatsu used to comprise his wings are somehow reduced, or being used in some other way, they become more fragile, and can only hold about 80 lbs over his own weight and have about 6 posts before they dissipate from lack of power.
Bankai Overall Ability: N/A

{Fuuatsuryokuha}Name: Fuuatsuryokuha (Wind Pressure Blade)
Level: Shikai
Power: In using this technique, Corvus condenses reiatsu around his right arm. While he uses it, he can keep the reiatsu on his arm as a blade that he can use for physical attacks, or he could use his arm as a medium to release the reiatsu in a Getsuga-like attack.
Weaknesses: This technique can only be used for a short amount of time, dissipating after about 5 posts. If released as a shockwave, it can be easily blocked or broken by people 2 classes higher than him. To go along with this, the shockwave has a medium length range and dissipates after traveling about 10 feet in front of him.

Level: Shikai
Power: Corvus uses his reiatsu manipulation to create a shield-like wall of "wind" in front of himself that blocks physical and kido attacks. Can even reflect certain attacks.
Weaknesses: Can only reflect Kido and attacks that are 2 classes lower than him, Kido and attacks that are a class higher can cause damage equal to 80% of their intentional damage, while kido and attacks 2 classes higher completely ignore and break through his shield. A superior offensive stat can break through the shield as well, but the damage will be reduced by 10%.

Other Techniques:
{Other Techniques}Technique Name: [Shunpo (Flash Steps)]
Class: 7
Technique Type: Kido
Technique Element: None
Technique Description and Effects:
A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. The focal point that determines the bases of this technique is speed. As speed is the main point of the technique the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps. Training and skill are what determines how fast a user of Shunpo can move; those of little skill in the technique or those who haven't used it an extended amount of time would obviously be out of practice, causing those individuals to be considerably slower, which requires the use of more steps to move the same distance and become winded far easier in a shorter amount of time. A single step magnifies speed for that step by 10 times. Uses 50 Reiatsu per step. This one is automatically learned in the academy. ALL shinigami know this when created. This technique does not take up a technique slot.
How to use technique:
A focus of reishi around the feet area, and then launching off into a single step which blurs, not unlike teleportation in appearance, except it is simply extremely fast movement. Often used to gain an edge in a single moment of combat, or to dodge incoming attacks.

-History-
Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland
Current Residence: Shinigami Academy
Memorable Figures:
- Caretaker
- Upstart Orphan
History:
Orphaned as a baby, Corv was left in a blanket on the steps of a well kept and well known Orphanage. When the Caretaker came out to make sure none of the other children had snuck outside she saw him laying there on the ground. groaning and whining. The Caretaker had taken quite a liking to him, as he had her. He was always treated a bit better than the other Orphans there, and it was plain to see. Of course, Corv himself was oblivious to it. Eventually, one of the other kids got fed up when Corv got more food than him, and started a fight. Corvus, being a child who had never fought before, lost horribly and had a broken nose for more than a week. The upstart was taken and punished with chores around the Orphanage.
Since the day he lost the fight, he had become quite scared of the others and distanced himself, playing alone and always sitting in the corner. But, as he seemed to be sulking to the others he actually used his fear to push himself to learn how to defend himself. Now, this didn't involve any training at a dojo like karate kid, but what he really enjoyed was watching profession fighting, specifically boxing. He would watch it late at night, and even attempt to mimic moves he had seen, hoping to use them when and if that child attacked him again. Eventually, he did start another fight, angry because of his punishment from last time. This time though, Corv had been able to defend himself better, and gave him a few bruises as well.
And ever since then, his confidence grew more. He held himself better, and talked a lot more with the other kids. He also started practicing how to fight, so he could get stronger. But, he also became cold to people he didn't really know. He would always think that they might be someone to try and hurt him. So he did his best to scare them, to make then not want to associate with him. And it worked. Newer kids who seemed to be trouble makers, didn't cause any. He was sort of like a keeper of the peace.
Over time that child stopped picking on him, and left because he had gotten adopted. New kids came, though, and took his place. Kids always came, and fights always happened over the littlest of things. After years of this, it wore down on Corv's soft demeanor, and he became very irritable, acted on impulse a lot. He was still soft on the inside, but never let it show. Because of this, he never got adopted. Ever. And each time he could see the joy and sadness in the way the Caretaker looked at him. She didn't wanna see him go, but also didn't want him to live here his entire life. Corv eventually felt like a burden, and when a family refused to adopt him after an interview on his 14th birthday, he decided to run away. He couldn't take causing the person he cared about so much trouble, and so he decided that he would find some way to survive and make it up to her one day.
Thing is, though, he never made it past a week of running away. He had no home, not even a box, and has little food. He was always hungry, but refused to steal. One day, when he was walking by the river, it was raining quite hard. The water level had risen, and the river became like rapids. He was trying to find a way to hide, a place to get away from the stinging cold of the rain, when he felt the Earth slip from under him and his world was full of cold, chilling water. He was weak, he couldn't muster the strength to swim, let alone stay afloat. Not to mention the constant slamming against the walls of the river, which helped to knock him unconscious. The last thing he remembered before his eyes closing, was how sad he was he couldn't repay that Caretaker. And then his vision turned dark and he was breathing water.
When he woke up, he was freezing. It wasn't raining anymore, and he couldn't tell what happened. All he knew was that he suddenly had a broken chain coming from his chest, and that he was next to the riverbed. He remembered himself falling in the river, and as soon as he did he ran from it. He ran all the way back to his Orphanage, only to find out that the Caretaker woman was Ill, and that no one could see him or touch him. He felt so alone, and simply watched over the Caretaker as the days went by. She got worse, and worse until one day she was taken to the hospital and died. He felt horrible, empty inside and his chest hurt. The chain had gotten considerably shorter over the days, and it wasn't long until he was alone once more. That is, until the woman as a ghost found him all by himself. She was sad to see that he had passed, but was also glad to see him once again.
They traveled together for quite a long time, and enjoyed each others company. He smiled once again in a long time and his old, softer self began to show. But, it was only around her. Others he was colder to. He didn't know them so he put up a wall of a facade to make them think he was a cold hearted person. It was what he knew. Be cold and you won't get hurt. It was how they went on, until one day they were attacked. A spider-like Hollow found them, and chased them into an alley with no where to run. He tried to protect her but ended up getting slammed into the wall, and he closed in on her. A second later, as he thought they were both gone for, a blade pierced through the Hollows body, and it fell to the ground dead. Afterward, a black clad man said something, but it was distorted from the blow Corv had taken. His hearing was affected by his dizziness. He felt a hard object on his forehead, and suddenly felt light. Then he was sent to Soul Society, separated from his loving Caretaker once more.
After appearing in Rukongai, he spent quite a long time with a rag-tag group of children. They seemed to have imprinted on him after protecting them from a merchant who was trying to catch them. He didn't know that they stole, but then again stealing was the only way to survive. They were like a gang, and he was their leader. he taught them how to defend themselves, and made sure that they didn't abuse it and bully the other children. He had become somewhat like his Caretaker. He even opened up a bit to the children, seeing himself in all of them. Once Corv had heard of the Shinigami academy, as well as seeing who Shinigami are and what they are, he went and applied for the Academy. He wanted to become a Shinigami in order to find his old and beloved Caretaker. He knew it was a stretch, especially in Rukongai, but if he was Shinigami it would become much easier. He had to try at least. If he didn't try, he might never find her again.
