-Basic Information-
Name: [Apollo]
Real Age/Age of Appearance: [19/19]
Birthday (Month/Day): [6/18]
Blood Type: [O]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Height/Weight: [6/260]
Physical Description: [Apollo has a fair complexion, that is generally covered with the usual dirt and grime that come with living in the country side. His dark brown hair is slightly longer than average, spiking out every which way because of how greasy and unwashed it typically is. He has chestnut brown eyes that glimmer with determination. His body is exceptionally chiseled, as if he were a man sculpted from marble. This is something he likes to show off, but as a display of the hard work he's put into maintaining himself, and because he prefers training without a shirt.
He can generally be seen with the bottom half of a training gi in various colors for pants. He likes wearing the white version of this, but those are harder to keep clean, so he usually sticks to wearing red, blue, black, or when he's feeling just that little bit more fancy, gold. Apollo wears thick bandages wrapped around his hands and wrists, to protect himself when training. For footwear, he usually goes without it, but when he does, he likes wearing wooden sandals. When he does wear a shirt, he just throws on the upper half of his gi.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personality-
Dislikes: [1. Like all good people, Apollo hates seeing injustice. He can't help but step into situations and try and defuse anything, or hopefully put an end to it himself.
2. Rainy days are something of a pet peeve of his. He knows that they're good for nature, and all that good stuff, but it makes it harder to train with all the water getting in his eyes.
3. As much as he tries to keep his Kenpachi nature down, he truly cannot stand a coward. Someone who attacks someone from behind, or attacking a downed opponent. Disgraceful.
4. He can't stand seeing the weak willed, not stand up for themselves. Victims who don't bother to fight back because they're too weak, it infuriates him to no end. If you aren't strong enough to defend yourself now, then get stronger! If you aren't smart enough to figure out how to overcome an obstetrical, then get smarter! Don't just stay the same as you are, grow! Beat anyone who dares to attack you! Become the you that you want to be!
5. Blustering idiots generally get under Apollo's skin. The ones who can't back up their words are even worse.]
Likes: [1. Apollo is a kind person at heart, and he likes to show that by helping people around his village. Sometimes it's helping people carry things, others it's breaking up fights.
2.This young man enjoys working with his hands, especially building things. Little trinkets are nice, build his passion is building homes for people. Giving shelter to others brings such joy to his heart.
3. On his days off, when he isn't out doing things like training or something of the like, he enjoys the quiet, tranquil peace that is reading. He loves books, and genuinely looks forward to finding high quality stories from authors. He even has a small bookshelf for his, admittedly limited, collection.
4. Apollo is a dedicated person, and honing his craft is something that he loves to do. This means things like training and maintaining his figure, or learning better or more efficient ways to build are things he would jump at.
5. Fighting is the ting he loves most in this world. There's a lust for battle that burns deep within his soul, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it. He only ever truly feels alive, when he knows that at any moment, someone might end it.]
Flaws: [1. Apollo would be the first to admit that he is likely too focused on the long term. He spends all his time building himself up, blindly following his path, not thinking about the short term. He can often miss the trees for the forest.
2. He is a very honest young man, and tends to see the best in others. This can lead to situations where he is tricked by a less than savory individual
3. As good natured a person as he is, he can be very blunt. He usually speaks his mind, no matter who it is he is talking to.
4. Apollo loves fighting. It is in his nature, in his blood, deep in his bones. He loves combat as much at the next Kenpachi, and thus wants to see every battle to the end, whatever that conclusion may be.]
Habits: [1. He likes to whistle jaunty tunes from songs that he hears on occasion. He loves bird calls, since he hears them all the time out where he lives. It's so funny when the little guys respond.
2. He has a bad habit of stepping into other people's fights. Not all the time, but when he sees someone getting beaten down or whatnot, he loves to step in and defend the victim.
3. Whenever Apollo thinks that a fight might be coming, he tries him best to defuse the situation, to prevent bloodshed. As much as he loves battle, he doesn't like to hurt those who can't fight back.]
Fears: [As shameful as it is for him to admit, he fears death. He fears not being able to finish all that he had set out to accomplish. He fears that he won't be able to leave anything behind, that no one will morn his passing. He fears that his lineage won't continue, and that he'll have left nothing for the future. He fears being forgotten by everyone, that he's just another faceless, nameless soul that gets used and discarded by the world. It keeps him up some nights, wondering if this is the day that he passes. The day he fails all his goals, and slips into the next world. He fears death for what happens to everything else once he's gone.]
Goals: [Apollo isn't a man that wants for much. Whenever he does want something, he goes out and gets it. He enjoys his simple lifestyle out in the Runkongai, and the peaceful days that he can have on his farm. But there is one thing that he knows that he wants, without a doubt. He wants to be the strongest there is. He wants to be strong, strong enough that not any organization has the strength to stop him. He wants that power, so that he can live in peace with whoever he decided to finally settle down with and marry. He wants his family to not be at risk from any hollow, shinigami, or beast clan. He wants everyone to think long and hard before they dare attack him. Once he archives that level of strength, he will find someone to love.]
Alignment: [Lawful Good]
Overall Personality: [In spite of all the nastiness in the world, Apollo considers himself a good man. He is dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle, and trains diligently to stay in shape. He is the kind of person to go out of his way to help others that he meets along the journey of life. He abstains from vice, like drugs or alcohol, not wanting to ruin his mind, or cloud his judgement in any given scenario. He is also a man set in his ways, and not often open to change. He is stubborn in his decisions, and not easily swayed once he's made up his mind.
He knows that he isn't a perfect person, but he tries to be as close to it as he can. He lives his life with the motto; treat others the way you'd want to be treated. Sure, it gets him into trouble at times, and it can be hard for him to keep his composure some times, but he knows that it'll be worth it in the end. He believes that there's good in everybody, no matter how evil they might seem. All it takes is a little kindness to turn them back onto a better path. Many might call him naïve, but he knows that he's right. He knows that people can change.
That being said, he won't stand for leeches. If he feels someone is mooching off him, he'll be quick to cut them off. It helps no one if people become dependent on the kindness of others. His kindness has limits, and he loathes people trying to take advantage of him. He doesn't take well to others trying to get pushy with him, and quickly shows others where the line is. They get one warning, before he lays down the law. He isn't quick to anger, and tries hard to keep it at bay, but it is a scary sight to see once he's given proper reason to be angry.
Apollo has something of an inner demon. Nothing as dramatic as an inner spirit, like the shinigami have, but just a side to him that he considers ugly. Rooted deep within his soul, there is a craving for battle, a lust that is insatiable. The call to battle is strong within him, and it tugs at him whenever he starts to get frustrated. The blurring of his vision, and violent shudder of his body, the adrenaline forcing his blood to flow harder and harder. And the scariest part about it? Apollo loves that feeling. He can often find himself dreaming of fighting whoever strikes his ire on any particular day. He loves combat, which is why he's so forceful a lot of the time, so quick to lay down his law. The temper of Apollo is not something to be underestimated. ]

-Powers-
Fighting Style: [Apollo has a rather simple fighting style to him. Mixing boxing with Karate, he largely prefers punching attacks over anything else. He doesn't like a lot of fancy footwork, or over the top flippy and throw-y techniques. He just prefers the tried and true method of breaking someone's face with his fist. He learns how to do those moves, just in case he needs them for whatever reason, but he doesn't like using them. With his left hand, he prefers throwing out a fast series of jabs, while his right hand is used for strong and heavy punches.
His favorite move is running up to someone, jumping a foot into the air, and decking someone in the face. More specifically in the mouth, in an attempt to knock their teeth out. His record is five teeth in one shot, so far. He is a direct fighter, preferring to stick to up-close and personal melee. If he had to describe himself, he would call himself an endurance fighter, either knocking someone out quick from the start, or wearing people down with his his relentless attacks, hammering people with his attack, and his blazing aura.
When facing someone with higher physical capabilities than himself, or when fighting someone who doesn't fight how he considers 'fair', then he activates his Aura to wear them down. He doesn't exactly like overly using his Aura, but he won't exactly hesitate to use it. It is his greatest weapon and tool, but he considers it a tad unfair against weaker opponents. He doesn't want to squander the power of his soul against the unworthy. He considers it akin to using a shotgun to kill a fly. If he doesn't have to use it to beat someone, he won't.]
Kenpachi Ability: [A fire burns in Appolo's soul, and that manifests in his aura, like a golden sun wrapping around him. His Kenpachi ability creates an aura that feeds off all reiatsu caught in its path. People, techniques, and even the ambient reiatsu that lingers in the air, will be sapped of power to fuel the fire that resides inside Apollo. When activated, the area around Apollo heats up, just under the point of burning, glowing with the light of the sun. The aura that his soul creates is equal to five meters for every Class that Apollo is.
For every technique that enters the area of effect, half of its reiatsu will be used to fuel the aura. Should Apollo's rs be three times the offensive strength of the technique, or should Apollo be three classes higher than the technique used, the technique will be incinerated and destroyed. If his rs should be higher than the OS of the ability, the offensive strength of the technique will be reduced by 25% of Apollo's Rs. Release techniques or properties, including mod soul abilities but excluding hollow techniques, are immune to the destruction portion of this ability, but will cost an additional 25% reiatsu to use, so long as their os isn't at least 50% higher than Apollo's RS.
Should someone use a technique from inside his aura, and Apollo has more rs than they have OS, they will need to pay 25% more reiatsu to use it. If Apollo has at least 25% higher Rs to their OS, the cost is increased to 50%. Destroyed techniques will add reiatsu, equal to their offensive strength, to the aura. Any reiatsu that this aura has burned off, will reduce the cost of this ability by half of what was burt off. The air in the aura will have all reiatsu stripped from it, making it impossible to absorb from, or manipulate, except to people who have 50% higher os advantage over Apollo's rs. This ability costs 250 reiatsu per post. Apollo is not immune to the increased costs of techniques, and will be forced to pay 50% higher reiatsu costs for his techniques, though none of his abilities are destroyed. The base cost of this technique is not added to the scaling of the aura.]

-History-
Birthplace: A small, mountainside farm, in Aomori Japan.
Current Residence: [Apartments near Karakura city]
Memorable Figures: [None]
History: [It was a quiet day on the farm. The winds were calm, and the sun was beaming down on the fields. The sun was making it hotter than it needed to be, but that wouldn't stop Apollo from finishing his chores. He was in the middle of his wheat field, sickle in hand. He swept the tool across a dozen stalks, cutting them down. With a bundle of twine, he wrapped the plants up, before tossing it into a wooden cart behind him. He wiped a bead of sweat forming on his forehead, before deciding to call it a day. He packed up his things into the cart, before returning to his home.
He unloaded what he gathered into the barn next to his house. Though, house might have been too strong a term for the ramshackle building he'd constructed several years ago. It was a crude building, built with untreated wood planks, it was finally starting to fall into a state of disrepair. If he had to give it his best guess, Apollo would say that it only had a month or two left before it fell apart. He made a plan to head to the Wilds tomorrow, placing his good ax in the cart in preparation. He would go now, but some things were best left for the morning.
He left the barn, and went to check on the fields behind the stables. His farm had a few animals living here. A round seven cows, and three bulls were standing around, huddled together near the middle of the field. That got Apollo's attention. The animals were clearly spooked by something. The farmer grabbed a pitchfork he kept near the entrance, and started walking towards them, calling the cattle over. Heading his call, they made their way towards him, going faster the farther they got from whatever it was that spooked them. "Come on out, I know you're there." The man said loudly, not a trace of fear on his face.
A man was standing there, a crisp business suit, black with gray pinstripes, looking utterly alien with how clean they were in the dirt and mud of the farm. He strode forward, feet not at all sinking into the dirt with every step they took. They were wearing a hat, perfectly shading their face from the blistering light of the sun. The person was an enigma that goaded him into asking the question; "Who are you, and what do you want?"
There was a rudeness to his tone, true, but he also couldn't keep the hint of nervousness out of his voice either. There was something... otherworldly about this individual, and not in a way that inspired confidence, and he could swear he could smell blood. The man chuckled, raising his hand, rolling it like a hattrick, revealing an emasculate blood red card. It was so clean, he almost didn't want to touch it, but hesitantly, he took it anyway.
It was a simple card, with words written like black lace that drew the eye, compelled one to read it. "The Sanguine Syndicate?" He stared at it a few moments longer, before looking back up at the person. "What is-" He began, before the words died on his tongue. The man was gone, as if he had never been there to begin with. That... was ominous. Suddenly the world felt cold, constricting. He turned, looking desperately in every direction, trying to find where the devil had disappeared to.
He was nowhere to be found. He had vanished into thin air, and Apollo couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. Despite the heat, he broke out into a cold sweat, before he ran into his home. He read the card, back to front, and the only additional information he could garner was a location, presumably where he was supposed to go. This was something he had never encountered before. This was new. This was scary. Was he supposed to head to this place? What did they want from him?
It took him a few days to make up his mind to journey to this new unknown, and a few more to contact a neighbor, to have their kids takeover his farm until he returned, forever if he never made it back. It was a difficult decision, to be sure, but the feeling of being watched had only grown more intense in the time since the man had approached him. He felt as if his life were at risk should he stay, so he could not. He took with him what little money he had, three days worth of food, and left towards Karakura.]
