Ryo Hayate

Ryo Hayate is a Shinigami experiment who escaped the Soul Society and is currently making his way through the Human World for unknown reasons.

Personality
Ryu is very stoic, speaking only when spoken to. He does not like to involve himself in things often, stating that his involvement would only make a situation worse. He strongly loathes what he has become, wishing he could be normal like he once was. Though the Shinigami Institute of Research and Development saved his life, he bears nothing but disdain for them.

Due to the experimentation, his mind is very unstable and has developed three distinct personalities. Ryo, the main one is the stoic. Kyoka is a battle loving madman who enjoys nothing more than the sight of blood. He has a tendency to carve his name into the opponents that he kills. The third personality is that of Hinobi, an old, kind soul whose attempts at being a pacifist rarely work out. The shifts in personality are almost impossible to predict but Ryo has learned to stay in control for most of the time. Kyoka usually comes out in fits of Rage and Hinobi in times of great joy.

History
As a small child, Ryo lived in the 77th district of Rukongai. He was orphaned at an early age and was forced to live in the streets. Life was not the easiest but he did not require food since he did not have any spiritual power. He lived this way for ten years.

One night, an escaped fugitive was on the move through Rukongai. A team of Shinigami chased after him. The fugitive noticed the Shinigami catching up to him. Knowing that he would soon be caught, he grabbed the closest person next to him to hold as a hostage, Ryo. The Shinigami however did not stop and one fired a kido spell that killed the fugitive. The spell however, also hit Ryo who fell to the ground. The Shinigami took the boy back to Seireitei where, due to complications with the fourth division, was taken to the Shinigami Institute of Research and Development for healing.

Though he was only meant to be healed, the Institute decided to experiment on the young Ryo. With him, they tried to create the ultimate Shinigami warrior. Their experiments lasted one hundred years, at the end of which, they declared him a failure and decided to kill him. Regaining his ability to act independently for the first time in 100 years, Ryo escaped the Institute before they had a chance to do so. He fled to the Human world. Though is making no attempt to hide himself, his current objectives are unknown.

Powers & Abilities
The subject of great experimentation, Ryo's abilities are not natural and instead were granted to him during the experiments.

Undetectable Spiritual Power: The first of the Institute's experiments, Ryo was given a very large amount of Spirtiual power. However, a set back in the experiment caused his power to become undetectable. He is known to have a very great amount but just how much is completely unknown.

Master Spirit Power Control: The Shinigami sought a way to gain mastery over their spiritual power. In creating Ryo, they gave him the ability to control his spiritual power in ways completely unseen by Shinigami. Through this he gained many new abilities.


 * Spiritual Power Blast: In seeking to replicate a Hollow's cero, Ryo was granted with the ability to fire a condensed blast of spiritual power from his fingers. He has been shown to be able to fire one from at least two different fingers at the same.


 * Spiritual Power Enhanced Hakuda: Ryo is able to surround his body in Spiritual power in order to enhance his Hakuda skills much like Shunko.


 * 'Spiritual Power Shield: Ryo has demonstrated the ability to form a shield in front of him of pure spiritual power. The shield is nearly impenetrable but cannot stay together for long.

Enhanced Strength: During the experiments, his strength was bolstered to a considerable degree.

Kido Nullification Field': While seeking to create the ultimate Kido user, the Institute created just the opposite, a Shinigami entirely incapable of performing Kido but able to nullify the Kido of others. Any spells coming within two feet of him will dissipate though how long this takes depends on the level of the spell.

Hakuda Master: He has an extreme mastery of Hakuda when fighting as Ryo only. Due to the nature of his Zanpakuto, the two function together to create an ultimate offense. As Kyoka he has moderate skill with Hakuda and only the most basic as Hinobi.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Kyoka is a master of swordsmanship, effortlessly stopping anything with his blade. When fighting, he will actually take hold of his sword and use it as normal. Ryo has very little skill in this are and Hinobi has moderate to slightly advanced skill.

Shunpo Master: Hinobi is extremely fast with the use of Shunpo, moving great distances in an instant. Ryo has a good deal of skill with it as well but not to the degree of Hinobi. Kyoka has no skill at all and likes it that way.
