Physical Description:
There are many different people in the world. Ranging from tall to short. Thin to large. White and black. Blue eyed to green eyed. The difference in someones appearance is part of what makes each person unique. Each living thing, from Human to Hollow, is unique in their own appearance. Their appearance is what sets them apart from everyone else. Everyone who can see looks at the face. They remember the way the face looks, and remember that person by their appearance. The easiest way to recognize someone is by their appearance. Everyone is unique in the way they look. Some beautiful, and some not so much.
The first thing to talk about when it comes to Garret is that, well, he isn't exactly a attractive man. He's actually below average, rather unattractive by many peoples standards. He isn't ugly, no someone wouldn't say that. But he definitely stands out in a crowd. His face is one of a man who has spent a long time under the effects of stress. He has the face of someone you would no doubt see running along with mercenaries. He has a warriors face. His forehead forever has a line of wrinkles from his constant scowling all the time. His face looks rather unfriendly actually, easily scaring young children who don't know him. Covering his face are various small scars, ranging from bladed to clawed origins.
Garrets hair is definitely a feature that stands out. Messy and barely kept, the mane atop his head has been allowed to grow out and become rather wild. During his life and early Rukongai life, it was rather short and spiky, with the bangs lining his forehead curving upwards slightly. A deep black color, like most warriors these days. But those days are now long sense over. A combination of stress and the Curse have caused his hair to now become white as snow. Similar, in fact, to a Failures hair. Now allowed to grow out due to his lack of care in taking care of it.
On other feature atop his head, there are his eyes. Actually, to be more accurate, his one eye. Garrets single eye is a rather bland color, being simply a dull gray in color. His other one, however, no longer exists. Torn out and crushed by a Hollow on the night his life turned into nothing but a crusade of revenge. The eye socket has now been burnt shut, to seal the Bakkoto parasite within. Covering it is his intricate eyepatch that covers both his eye, the sides of his head, save for his ears, and the top of his nose. Looking into his eye, one will see nothing but hellfire looking back. They would see pain, hatred, and determination. During his nightly battles, when Garret is consumed in rage, it's been seen that his eye seems to become pure white. His humanity gone and turned into nothing but a beast, his eye seems to show when that happens.
Now onto his body. Garrets body is the result of years of battle. It's massive to say the least. He isn't like most Shinigami, who somehow retain small, slender forms despite their strength. Garrets body is massive due to the amount of muscle he has. Already a tall individual, standing next to a man whom is practically a mountain of meat is intimidating. His body is rough and hard to the touch, much like a rock. Painted across his body are the results of his life. Scars liter his body from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. The life of a mercenary is hard, nobody walks away without some kind of wound. But Garrets battles in both life and death have turned him out worse than a cutting board.
Scars of note, for example, would be one that rests dead center between his shoulders. The one scar that ended his life. A stray arrow during his final battles made its home there, separating Garret from his life and leaving him nothing but a ghost. Above his right eye is a scar that points upward, a result from the Hollow dragging its claw upwards after tearing Garrets eye out. Might scratches cover his body, results of his nightly battles with the beasts that ruined his after life. The palms of his hands, thick with calluses, bear their own scars. Skin rubbed raw and torn open from the use of such heavy weaponry.
Now, onto his attire. Garret, during his time in the Rukongai, wore simple clothing. Simple tan clothing. Due to being so far out in the Rukongai though he actually lacked shoes. But now he wears some very interesting clothes. He wears a outfit that consists of a red shirt along with the sort of pants that one wears beneath a set of armor. His clothing is, generally, very scratched up and damaged from the constant fighting and travelling. He generally is seen wearing a brown cape, long enough to envelop his body and conceal his form or to use as a blanket. Comes with a hood.

-Personality-
Dislikes:
1. Large Crowds -Garret is increibly antisocial, thus he tries to avoid people if he can help it. This is because his Osen has the possibility of endangering people, and this warrior does not wish to drag others into his battle
2. People - As Garret is forced to avoid everyone he meets, he has developed a strong dislike for just being around people. He's used to being alone.
3. Hollows - The white masked demons that ruined his after life. They took his light from him, cast his nights into the definition of hell. To him, Hollows are not a Dislike but a Hatred. He will destroy them. He will destroy each and every one of them.
4. Fat people - They're walking pigs. They do nothing but devour everything and are an eyesore. Plus, in Garrets time obesity often signaled nobility who once looked down on him. He dislikes obesity.
5. Arrancar - Nothing more than monsters pretending to be human. They'll receive his blade in due time.
6. The night - Garret has not received a good nights sleep in a long time. Each night his own reiatsu works against him, drawing in Hollows that he must fend off till dawn. Night signals yet another fight. No, not a fight. It signals the incoming hordes that want nothing more than to devour him. Night signals yet another battle of the war he himself is engaged in...alone.
7. The Modern World - Garret grew up in an age long since past. He was alive in an age that didn't have cars, didn't have phones, didn't have any sort of electricity. He dislikes this new world. He dislikes the over population of humanity, seeing as how they steadily grow closer and closer to destroying what is left of Earths wilderness. No, Garret is not a treehuger. The wilderness is just the closest thing he has to his own time.
Likes:
1. Large Swords - Even during his time alive Garret has always held a fascination for large weaponry. Perhaps his amazement for them was born from the stories of great warriors, wielding great blades to slay mighty beasts. In current times though, Garret uses a gargantuan weapon because it's the perfect tool for what he needs to kill.
2. Solitude - Garret has always been a rather anti-social fellow. He never felt like he could belong with others due to his upbringing. Now though he purposely avoids and pushes people away for their own safety. Garret is not safe to be around, particularly at night, and has no desire to catch other people up in his blood soaked path.
3. Sleeping - As much as he can and whenever he can. Due to Garrets overall lack of rest he often tries to get as much sleep as he can whenever he can. He is only able to sleep during the day though, and is often found asleep from dawn to early afternoon.
4. Traveling - It's more of a forced thing at this point, but due to Garrets inability to be around large groups of people he is traveling across the worlds wilderness. He finds the isolation and nature soothing on his mind. Garrets seen more of the Earths beauty than most individual humans. On top of that, he is forced to continue moving. His Osen creates a residual effect that gets stronger the longer he remains in one area. While he is never truly safe, he has better chances at survival by continuing to move.
5. Woman - No, not in that sense. Garret has not felt any form of sexual urge ever since his wives passing. Rather it's the husband and lover inside him that makes him think of his wife whenever he sees a woman near her physical age. Garret is far softer on women than he is too men.
Flaws:
1. Violent - Garret is an incredibly violent individual. While most people do not see this at first glance if someone where to witness what he does to Hollows they would soon realize that Garret can be far worse than the beasts. He has no problem with torturing, butchering, doing unspeakable things to these creatures in the name of revenge. Some he will kill quickly, but he has no problem with slowly torturing others and even gets some sort of sick satisfaction out of it.
2. Revenge - Garret is incapable of letting go of the past. He easily holds grudges and very rarely forgives anyone. This is clearly seen in his unguided quest to simply destroy hollows for the sake of his late wife and daughter.
3. Uncaring - Rarely does Garret care for anyone but himself. He's not the sort of man who stops to help on the side of the road. Garret dislikes weakness, viewing them as mere worms that he shouldn't bother with.
4. Self Destructive - In his quest for revenge, Garret really has no care what happens to him or his body. It's why he goes to such extremes during fighting and training. Survival and vengeance are the only two things Garret cares for. Garret is a broken man. He does not care what happens to him along his path of destruction.
5. Born a Warrior thus will die a Warrior - Fighting. Killing. Being covered head to toe in blood. It's all he knows. All Garret knows is the art of war. All he knows how to do is swing his sword. It's all he cares to do. He has become so emotionally attached to his sword that he cannot sleep without it in his arms. All he cares is to kill. To tear his enemies apart. Garret lives by the sword and he will die by the sword.
Habits:
1. Swinging his sword - Garrets routine workout is swinging his sword. The weapon itself is incredibly heavy, but to increase its weight and thus increase the effects of his work out, Garret will tie logs or rocks around his weapon. He's not comfortable anymore without his sword in hand.
2. Rubbing his right eye - Lacking his right eye, sometimes Garret will rub over the spot to remind himself he doesn't have an eye. It's a habit similar to amputees moving their phantom limbs.
3. Sleeping - As mentioned earlier, he sleeps as much and as often as he can afford. His biggest priority during the day is relocating himself to an area his Osens taint no longer reaches. On top of eating and taking care of his bodies needs, he sleeps as much as he can before the night comes.
Fears:
1. Forgetting - "I must never forget who it is I fight for. The two whom I endure these nights for."
2. Failing - "This is an uphill battle. I will not fall to these abominations. Each and every single one of them will bathe the ground with their blood.
3. Nightmares - They never stop. The nightmares never end. Even when I do manage to shut my eye, half the time I'm going to be waking right back up again.
Goals:
The extermination of all Hollows - "Fear me. Fear this blade. For a better future. For all they have done. They will all die."
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Overall Personality:
What becomes of a man whom has lost everything? What happens when ones life has been shattered to pieces? When the thing that meant most to you was ripped from your hands, never to be returned again? What happens to a life that is filled with the hellfire of hate? A man no longer exists when the hellfire burns in his soul. What is left is a beast. A creature destined to forever walk the lonely road of vengeance. A dog of war, a hound forged from the flames of hatred themselves.
Garret the Wanderer, as he has become known as, is a man who has lost everything. He is a man whom has been consumed by his hatred, turning him into a freight train of destruction. His hatred is not geared towards people though. No, the anger he has stored within him is directed at the monsters called Hollows. The demonic souls that wander the world searching for prey are the target of this mans hatred. Garret is a man who had lost his light in life, the only thing holding him together. To describe Garret as a man would be inaccurate. He is a beast, a monster. Garret is a hound forever stuck in an endless cycle. While Garret is an angry man, he's not the sort that simply goes on belligerent rampages or attacks the innocent. Rather, he's the sort of angry that is able to control it until certain triggers happen. This "trigger" would be Hollows. His relationship with these creatures is a bloody one. The monsters with masks stole his daughter from him and plague him every night. Garret enters a sort of berserk rage when he comes across Hollows, thus earning the right to be called little more than a beast.
Now, besides the blood rage directed towards Hollows, Garret does have other defining parts of his personality. He's a grumpy man, oh there is no doubt about that. He's easily irritable, especially around strangers. His upbringing as a mercenary and constant fighting hardened his personality. He easily snaps on people for bothering him. He's also a rather straightforward man, not caring to sugarcoat things for people. He will share bad news with a straight face, not willing to make things easier for the other person. He tells things how they are, stating his opinion without care and easily letting people know what he thinks. At the same time, he expects that sort of thing from everybody and gets bothered if they choose to hide something from him or avoid telling him the whole truth.
Raised as a warrior, Garret is never seen without his signature blade. Many people that see from a distance mistake him as some sort of deformed creature, before realizing that thing jutting out behind him is actually a massive weapon. Garret prefers greatswords, weapons of such size and power that they strike fear into the hearts of opponents. His wielding of the greatsword is rather simple, "I need a weapon to match what I'm killin' ". While he was using larger than average blades during his youth and life, the blade he now wields dwarfs even them. In order to use the blade to a degree such as his, he must train his body often. While the nightly battles most definitely assist, he often ties heavy objects to his greatsword and practices swinging it downwards and up with the added weight an average of 1000 times, for each arm twice a day.
While easily irritated by people he is actually a sociable man. Even the most isolated of people need some form of social experiences. However, while Garret does appreciate some time spent with other people it is due to his current situation that he purposefully remains away. Garrets affliction pushes him away from people, as even a man like himself doesn't want innocents to be wrapped up in his battles. It's why he had left the Seireitei, as his presence in the vicinity of the Rukongai was drawing in Hollows every night, thus endangering the population. He pushes people away from him, not wanting people to get close. He doesn't want to fail anyone ever again, so he pushes them away so they don't get close. Garret is a lone wolf, a lone beast walking down his path of self destruction.
Hatred defines this man. In the presence of Hollows, and upon their discovery the Arrancar, Garret flies into an uncontrollable rage. To say that Garret has a form of PTSD wouldn't be far from accurate. Hollows are his trigger, seeing one causes him to loose it. In the presence of Garret, the once great hunters are turned into prey. His love, his obsession of revenge, his desire for nothing but to slaughter these creatures has warped him. He is no longer that smiling, scary yet nice man that he once was. People whom once knew him describe him as "terrifying". Garret becomes far worse than the things he sets out to kill, he quite literally becomes a monster himself.
