-Appearance-
Height/Weight: [6’6”/207 lbs]
Physical Description:
Arhellai is a man whose look give away the fact that he has seen his share of battles. He is pretty tall and strong man, and it is obviously that he takes physical aspects of battle preparations seriously, as he is very muscular. He can be best described as bear of a man. His muscles are well toned, and nearly perfectly shaped. Pretty much, there is nothing to catch your eyes, except for one big scar on his torso, which is the only one Arhellai cannot heal. It is because he gained during his Bankai training.
Aside from that, only three tattoos change monotonic whiteness of his skin. Arhellai put them in Soul Society, simply because he thought it would be cool. All three represent dragon, though the one on the back is significantly larger (logical, right?) than those two on his arm.
(This one is on the back.)
Arhellai´s face is not something that particularly stands out. Having pretty usual face is a thing that helps him blend into the others when not wearing his Haori. Arhelai´s nose is a bit funny, because of the fact he broke it multiple times. His face usually has a calm expression, with his eyes simply looking empty, signifying his inner pain and despair. However, when he is pleased or happy, his face will turn into a huge smile which includes his eyes too.
His hair is long and dark, and Arhellai simple lets it fall on his shoulders and back. it looks pretty messy, and Arhellai doesn't care much, only shortening it when it becomes too long. On other hand, Arhellai has no beard or mustache as he despises them. That is the only aspect of his appearance that he really cares about. Everything else is not deemed important. Because of that, Arhella's look is more than a bit chaotic and messy, but it is just his style, something that is impossible to change.
As for the clothing, there is not much to be told. He wears standard Shinigami clothing along with Captain´s Haori. Haori has no sleeves as Arhellai himself tore them of because he didn´t like them. He carries 2 katana with himself, one at each hip, and two wakizashi. One is kept at the belt, while the second one is kept hidden inside of Arhellai´s kimono. Everything else is standard, as far as his clothing is concerned. However, when off duty, or in a Gigai, Arhellai will wear white sneakers, dark blue ripped jeans, and teal colored T-shirt with a picture of a green monkey wearing gangster clothes (hat included) saying: "Need me to fix your trouble?". To add just a bit of freshness to his look, Arhellai will wear silver wristwatch on his left hand, bracelet made of leather strips on his right, and black sunglasses, just like those that Silvester Stalone wore.

-Personality-
Dislikes:
1) Hollows. They are eating souls. That is not a good thing to do.
2) Unnecessary bloodshed. Arhellai believes that every life has a meaning and it should not be thrown away without reason.
3) Arrancars. Arhellai thinks of them as bunch of abominations that are unnatural and must be destroyed.
4) Beans and paprika. Plain and simple- awful flavor.
5) Traitors. They are the worst of the worst. Must be exterminated.
6) Vizards. Yet another bunch of abominations, and they are also traitors. He wishes very slow and painful death for every one of them, especially their leader.
7) Voodoo. What the ...?! Cursing others, and flirting with "evil spirits". Useless and superstitious, and Arhellai hates it.
8) Heat. It leaves streets empty, warms up cold beer, and on top of that makes you sweat. Arhellai simply can´t stand it.
9) American football and rugby. Arhellai can´t stand it. Too violent, and without any virtues. What good is it?
10) Sailing. Arhellai hates to sail. It is bumpy and uncomfortable, and there often are storms. Luckily, Arhellai doesn´t have to sail often.
11) Vodka. Arhellai usually likes alcohol, but he absolutely despises vodka because of how it tastes. Arhellai feels like he is drinking medical alcohol when he is drinking vodka.
12) Working hard. Why work hard? Hell, why work at all? Those are usually questions that Arhellai will use to as a good excuse to slack off, as he hates working, especially working hard.
13) Drugs. Arhellai despise them. What good are they, just some chems used to escape reality, plus they cause addiction. Better use alcohol instead.
14) Junkies. Idiots. If they had problems, they should deal with them, not use drugs. Bunch of spineless worms.
15) Bad cooks. If somebody is cooking food, then he had to do it properly, rather than just destroy groceries.
16) Stubborn people. These people are rather stupid. They will get advice, and then do as they want. They usually end up disobeying orders. And that is not good to do.
17) Somebody insulting his food. Whenever Arhellai cooks, it is important to never say anything bad about it, because that will usually end up in Arhellai drawing his Zanpakutou and attacking the one who insulted his food. Luckily, his cooking is just plain awesome.
18) One night relationships. What? Being together for one night only. That is a bunch of shit. Where did the love disappear?
19) Long waiting. Arhellai hates to wait, and especially hates to wait long. Arhellai prefers to get whatever he wants right away.
Likes:
1) Good food. Nothing better than a bit of a good food, right? Especially Greek and Italian food, but during his missions, Arhellai has come to like Indian, Chinese and Japanese food. He is one of the greatest gourmands in Soul Society, and knows how to cook well.
2) Learning languages. Every man is only worth the number of the languages he speak.
3) Alcohol. He actually started drinking while he was alive, and not even death made him stop. Prefers wine and sake, but his favorite is ouzo, which granted him his nickname.
4) Jazz. Arhelai has once heard it in Human World and become addicted to it. He can listen it all day long.
5) Horses. There are no noble horses in Soul Society, just common ones. What a pity, isn´t it?
6) Poker. The most noble of all games. Especially Texas Hold´Em. Arhellai can play it for days without stopping, if he has enough booze.
7) Number 6. It is Arhellai´s lucky number, after all. On the other hand, this one is his favorite because he served in Squad 6 for most of his time as a Shinigami.
8) Ice. It is so cool. It can keep drink cold, and even turn to water later, like it is magic. Arhellai enjoys ice, and will usually have his subordinates go get it.
9) Learning new martial arts. Martial arts are useful to know. For that reason, whenever Arhellai got assignment in Human world, he learned that area's martial art. It's because he sees martial arts as tools of philosophy, which allow enlightenment.
10) Hunting. Arhellai hunted a lot while he was alive, and found himself to enjoy it. So even though he now hunts Hollows rather than animals, Arhellai still likes to hunt, and will do it regularly.
11) Football (soccer). Arhellai enjoys it, whether he is watching it or playing it (this rarely happens). He often sneaks out to the Human World in order to watch games of F.C. Arsenal, which he supports.
12) Weddings. Arhellai likes to attend weddings for two reasons. First, they are happy and cheerful events, and second, they remind him of his own, a long time ago in Human World.
13) Enma. This guy is pretty much mysterious, and Arhellai knows nothing of him, except that he is Captain of Squad 7. But, nonetheless, Arhellai likes him. Why? Because he takes care of many things, and since he is in charge of protecting Seireitei, he does a chunk of Arhellai's job, and that frees up time for Arhellai to do stuff.
14) Captain Commander. Arhellai respects this man deeply. Kyousou Ningen is the man Arhellai looks up to now, even though he is a Captain, and one of oldest too. But still, Captain Commander is wise, experienced and just plain smarter than anyone in Gotei 13, as well as vastly stronger, or at least Arhellai thinks so.
15) Manabu Brock. Arhellai once met this enthusiastic young scholar, and immediately came to like him. Arhellai was rather fascinated by the way Brock´s mind work, as well as with many of the Brock´s ideas. Reiatsu needles. Who would ever thought of that?
16) History. Arhellai likes history very much. It speaks of the past, the great people, heroic battles and so. And he was also part of it, even though only for a short while.
17) Traveling. Arhelai enjoys it, revealing new sights, and learning about different cultures. This is one of the reasons why Arhellai taken Captaincy of Squad 13.
18) Riddles. Arhellai likes solving them. They are good, as they sharpen senses, train mind, and generally are very amusing.
19) Cocktails. One of the greatest things ever invented. It is rather obvious why Arhellai likes those.
20) Leo Griffith. Leo is pretty cool and decent guy, and he is also Arhellai's Vice Captain. Arhellai simply likes him for what he is: a good friend and support.
21) Motochika Hatori. Now, Arhellai accidentally met this young man and discovered that he possesses Shinigami powers. Not that he arranged his enrollment in Academy, but also, the moment he graduates, he will become Squad 13 member. Arhellai is just amazed by Motochika's passion.
Flaws:
1) Drinker. Wherever the booze is, he is there drinking it. Knows for no limits and will stop only when he faints. However that will rarely happen as he became quite resistant to the alcohol.
2) Lazy. Whenever he can avoid doing something he will do it. Arhellai simply enjoys doing nothing.
3) Gambler. Arhellai is capable of losing his entire salary in just a few hours. His passion for gambling is enormous, and he won´t stop, as long as he nave something to wager. Once he even lost his Zanpakutou, but his friends bought it back for him.
4) Too protective. Arhellai is way to protective in regards to his Squad members. He will usually step in to protect them when thing get even a bit dangerous. The reason for this is that he sees them as family, and he feels urge to protect his family.
5) Too relaxed. Arhellai is always relaxed, but that can cost him much. Staying relaxed in fights is bad thing to do, as well as not fulfilling duties properly because of too relaxed attitude.
Habits:
1) Regularly takes a walk through Eastern Rukongai. He finds it relaxing.
2) Sleeps whenever possible. Arhellai actually made sleeping an art. He sleeps more then he needs, simply because he likes it.
3) Organizing dinners. Arhellai will at least once a week organize dinner for his friends. He is known as a great cook, so many of his friends like to come. Sometimes he invites more of them, and sometimes he invites nobody, simply enjoying dinner with his subordinates.
4) Carrying ouzo with himself. Arhellai always carries a small flask of ouzo, with him, thus earning his nickname.
5) Pulling pranks on his subordinates. Life in Gotei 13 can be dull, but Arhellai never allows that to become a fact possible to apply on his squad. He will pull small pranks on his subordinates for the sake of his personal fun, as well as keeping morale up.
Fears:
1) Losing his honor. Arhellai´s greatest fear is to be dishonored, as he deems honor more important than life.
2) Failing his friends. Arhellai believes that man who failed his friends is not worthy of being a man and is destined to solitude.
3) Bugs. Arhellai can´t stands seeing bugs. Disgusting and on top of that infinitely numerous. This fear is just one step from growing into a full-fledged phobia.
Goals:
1) Arhellai´s first goal: to finally bring peace to Soul Society. He is ready to sacrifice his life if necessary, only to gain everlasting peace. However, as everlasting peace is utopia, he strives toward peace that would last as long as possible, and he believes that all of his power should serve only that cause.
2) Arhellai´s second goal: to get his revenge. Zouma Santeku killed his former Captain, the man Arhellai respected as he would respect father. So yes, Arhellai wants to kill him in return. Very slowly and painfully. He should better hurry, as he is not the only one who wants to do that.
3) Arhellai´s third goal: winning one of WSOP bracelets. That wold finally show everybody just how good he is at poker. He already tried twice, but utterly failed both times. But Arhellai is not discouraged at all, ah he hopes that he will be "third time lucky".
4) Arhellai´s fourth goal: getting Manabu Brock to join his squad as a seated officer. When Arhellai met Brock, he was impressed. And when he found out that Brock is unseated, Arhellai got determined to get Brock join Squad 13 as Fourth, maybe even Third Seat.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Overall Personality:
Arhellai is pretty calm, level-headed person. It takes a lot to make him angry. And even when angry, he will still keep his coolness on the outside, while he will boil of anger inside. When he shows anger, it means that he reached cracking point and that there is no stopping him until he dispose of the person or object that made him angry.
Also, Arhellai tends to be quite serious when necessary, but usually he is pretty much relaxed and laughs a lot. His former captain actually described him as one of the most funniest people in Soul Society; even though Arhellai has became much more serious before he became a Captain, so this "title" does not fit him anymore, but shows that he is a joyful person.
Above everything, Arhellai will NEVER show his pain or depression or something like that to anyone but his best friend, and this particular friend certainly won´t spread it around. This is a typical trait of a loner, even though Arhellai is not one.
Actually, he is quite liked both among his squad and Gotei 13. He is very social, and has many friends, but will reveal his inside only to a certain few. Those selected few will see bitter, ironic man who believes that he is certainly paying for some sin he has yet to commit. Arhellai himself stated:"God or whoever is in charge is certainly mocking me. Playing with me. I lost those who I loved most, and yet, I have done nothing wrong. So why is this happening?"
Also, Arhellai is very well educated and wise. He is quite a polyglot, as he speaks many languages: Greek, Latin, Italian, Arabic, French, Hindu, Japanese, Chinese, and even Swedish. Thanks to this, he can find his belongings in most places. Arhellai will give advice to those who seek it, as he saw many things and has a lots of experience.
In his free time, Arhellai will either drink, gamble, or cook, or even do some combination of those three. There is also another possibility of course, and that is sleeping. For Arhellai, twelve hour of sleep feels just like a short nap. But, of all things, Arhellai likes cooking most. However, his way of cooking is not anywhere near the way of experienced chefs. Arhellai cooks slowly, with his food being a mix of a lot of influences. And, while he cooks, there is always a glass of whiskey with him. After all, cooking is tiring thing to do, and whiskey returns strength.
While in battle, Arhellai is pretty much straightforward, avoiding mind games as he considers those to be useless. On the other hand he will engage in conversation with his foes, as he considers this a proper etiquette, same as introducing yourself before the battle starts.
And, above all, Arhellai values two things. First is peace. Those who dare disrupt the peace of Soul Society will pay the price, and if possible, Arhellai will be the one making them pay. He is simply a man who believes that peace is essential to the well-being of not only a Soul Society, but a whole world. Love for the peace has been received from his former Captain, a man who Arhellai considered to be his spiritual father.
Second thing that Arhellai greatly values is wisdom. Being wise, giving good advice and in general, being of use to others without fighting is a thing that Arhellai tries to achieve, as he believes that it is a typical trait of any Captain. Wisdom is something he was keenly trying to pick up from his former Captain.
The last important thing about Arhellai is mystery that surrounds him. He hides his life prior to coming to Soul Society from almost all people. He revealed it only to five people, even though only three of them are still alive.
As a Captain, Arhellai tries to lead his squad to the best of his abilities in order to allow Gotei 13 to work properly, with all 13 squads in tune.
