Kaisei Ryūren


 * "Stray wolf hidden in the shadows."
 * —Hibrid

Alvin Ryūren (アルヴィン·流連, Aruvuin Ryūren) nicknamed Vin (フィン, Fin), is a Yajū, more correctly a hybridization over his original Yajū race and his status as a Vizored, formerly known as the seventh-seated Shinigami belonging to the Fifth Division. Though once a normal Shinigami after his graduation at the Shin'ō Academy, the Division's new captain changed his life forever; causing him to be on the run with his new life as a being that possesses both Shinigami and Hollow powers. Ever since the war, he was chosen to be the captain commanding his former Division. His lieutenant is Cynthia Kazuryū.

Appearance
As a man who went a difficult life both in his life as a Shinigami and as a human, just being near Alvin's figure gives those around him an aura that others may deem as ominous and rather violent. Alvin appears to be a man in his teenage years, possessing numerous youthful features to that of an adolescent arranged rather perfectly. He possesses a muscular though somewhat slender body frame with slightly tanned skin. What Alvin values the most is his scruffy black hair which he kept in a spiky hairstyle with the addition of a single, parting bang going from his forehead to the left side of his face. The surface of his features are rather sharp and kept in a near-permanent frown, rarely smiling. Others can simply see and feel the suffering he'd felt all along his life just by looking into his deep, blood-ish red eyes, which others deemed as ominous. These features are the main reason of why others are so afraid of and often avoid him.

In terms of his detailed features, one can see them clearly just by getting close to him. His eyes, as aforementioned before, are blood-ish red in color which others find to be particularly ominous. His eyebrows, unlike his hair, are also blood red and were kept distancing from each other and facing downward, matching with his frown to create a near-permanent angry expression. His nose is noticeably straight, though it is somewhat blunt on its edges. His sideburns are rather messy, messy and long enough to reach the lower part of his cheeks. His chin is noticeably blunt on its edges as well. His forearms and calves, though not easily noticed by others, are covered in scrapes and scars, a product of his love for fighting, matching rather perfectly alongside his perpetual angry expression. Others who didn't know him well would find him scary, though those who are close enough to know him, females especially, would find him highly attractive.

Alvin's usual attire consists of a normal Shihakushō, including a white underclothing, a black kosode, black hakama, and tied with a white obi. The only customization he'd done to his uniform is the lack of white tabi; he only wears waraji for footwear. By the time he was still at Soul Society, he wears a pale-ish purple kimono as his own preference to relax and set him off to ease after duty or during nights. Upon gaining the role of a captain, he wears the typical white captain's haori with the sleeves cut off and the Fifth Division emblem emblazoned on his back. After his exile into the World of the Living, his usual attire stood the same. Upon gaining a gigai belonging to his own self, he wore a set pf outfit similar to that of a high school student's uniform, consisting of a complete white shirt with the collars upturned and held high along with long sleeves that are curled up to his elbows, dark purple tie reaching past his abdomen and tied loosely in front of his sternum. He also sports a standard though somewhat tight black pants along with trainers in the same color. His hands are usually kept within the pockets of these pants.

Personality
In spite of how he looks, rarely smiling, Alvin was actually warm-hearted and kind, known only to those who are brave enough to approach him. Though he spoke in a sharp and flat tone as his own way to talk back then, others may as well be able to know all things about him with just a short talk. In the past, he loves to hang out with his friends after working or late at nights, having dinner together, drink drinks, and smoking with his pipe, often resulting in his friends questioning about whether or not Alvin was having fun due to his usual frown or others who didn’t know him well enough to question about how Alvin was having fun. In addition to this, Alvin was somewhat gentle when it comes to hanging out with his female friends, often hesitating to argue against them and is really hesitant to touching his friends’ body. Alvin is also cheerful and laid-back. At certain times, which is quite often, he would either quietly whisper "I'm too lazy" or "I'm so hungry" to himself multiple times before being able to free himself from "mountains" of paperwork, which is how he describes his work. He also becomes very lazy while on guard duties, often yawning and giving a sleepy expression instead of the usual frown. He was caught multiple times trying to escape from his work slowly and quietly by his friends and even the lieutenant herself. His attempts to escape his work were the only thing Alvin put his intellect into a good use. He never felt any shame while doing the things he loved the most, until the point he was scolded by the captain of his Division personally.

Under these top layers of his persona, Alvin had great respects for those who are both superior and inferior than himself, a trait one would never expect from Alvin. Though he maintains talking with his usual frown back then, he uses polite words and a tone higher than his usual one. He would gladly do whatever his superiors told him to do, excluding doing extra work, of course. It is a sign of his growing self-respect, as when he was little he can barely talk to those who are older than him, let alone do the things what they told him to do. He is confident and brave enough to ask his captain into a talk; a mistake he did that brought his life into a disastrous wonder he cannot imagine himself. Ever since the accident that caused him great pain, his respects were brought down drastically; it is simply a nature of his that was washed away, crumpled by the disappointments made by his captain.

Having stripped off his rank, losing all his friends, betrayed by the captain he cared and admired, also being hunted by the highest authority in all of Soul Society made Alvin aware of his position and soon became frustrated to the point he ran off into the World of the Living, disguising himself as a human. It is the sense of hopelessness that struck Alvin, having none to turn to, changing his life and demeanor forever into someone unlike what he was before. Though he maintains his warm-hearted, kind, cheerful, laid-back, and respectful nature, the vast majority of those personas he had were swept away like a storm sweeping a wrecked, old, wooden house. His frown worsens, and now his new persona matches perfectly with the frowns he'd displayed all these times. He is no longer kind to most people alongside being drastically cold, often ignoring the people around him, dismissing them as nothing more than a burden, and he can barely acknowledge their existence around him in the first place. He became even more silent as well, watching others through his blood-ish red eyes with pain visible on them. It is his sense of fear; he does not have the bravery anymore to face others, having the feeling that they may recognize him as who he is currently though none knows and none can see him, the paranoia that caused him to suspect others as if they will betray him if they became his friends like his captain did. However, as time progresses, his courage to go on forth becomes bigger and even greater, one of which that allows him to overcome his paranoia and become the man he currently is.

The fear he possessed was no more as time progressed, resulting in his motivation to improve his fighting skills, along with his anger, to remain perfectly fine. In fact, they are sharpened even more, having the hunger for vengeance upon what his former captain did to him. His motivation, which was derived from his wanting to become the third seat of the Division, is now mainly derived from his anger to his former captain, wanting to kill the man so badly in order to fulfill his vengeance and what he'd lost. His anger is uncontrollable, matching or even beyond his usual angry-expression. In addition to this, his temper is as short as ever.

Despite the changes he'd underwent from someone cheerful and happy into someone cold and silent, Alvin possesses multiple likings he favored the most both before and after he changed. One of them being his liking for fighting; it is clear within his image that Alvin loves fighting the most. He claims fighting to be very fun, the only thing he enjoys within his life, just as how the Eleventh Division's members would claim as well. Fighting enemies comes first in Alvin's list of priorities, and he would never miss the chance of fighting or otherwise he would turn grim, grimmer than who he currently is. However, unlike most of the members belonging to the Eleventh Division who like fighting enemies stronger in power than they are, Alvin prefers to fight on equal terms against his enemies, and provided the chance, he likes fighting against countless enemies who are equivalent to or weaker than he is. His other and last liking is his hair; he favored his hair the most among the majority of his physique features. He would be angered once his hair is messed up by anyone other than himself, and he does not allow anyone other than himself to touch his hair, though it is still unclear of why he values his hair the most. In the earliest mornings, he'd love to spend most of the morning either fixing up or styling up his hair into its perfection.

Upon gaining the role of a captain, Alvin's attitude changed drastically yet again. Turbulent on the inside while being rather ignorant on the outside before, now he is stressful on the inside and caring on the outside, having faced off his biggest enemy yet: paperwork that came back to haunt him, and due to him being a captain as of now, his work is far more stressful than what it used to be before, and as a captain of which the responsibilities fall onto his hands with the safety of his men on the line. It is not Alvin to care about others, and he had used to the way of ignoring those around him, but it is how it must be and what falls to him must he accept with the entirety of his being otherwise he wouldn't be someone of who he is today. All of those in general aside, one thing inside of him changed significantly to the most part of his persona: his hate and hunger for vengeance upon the Shinigami faded away; all gone away like his previous personas had been swept away by a furious storm. In fact, most of them are now replaced with overwhelming kindness for the Shinigami, one thing that Shunsui Kyōraku was deluded about Alvin having none at all.

But still, Alvin is Alvin; his ominous presence completed with his red eyes are somethings that cannot be ignored by the members of his Division, even though Alvin's heroic role of being the captain stays with them. He retains his rather boring style of talking, mainly talking with such low-toned voice, and he is still gentle, wanting to help everyone, and warm-hearted. His presence, at times, as scary as it can be, may sometimes force the members even including the lieutenant herself to go silent whenever he emerges from the darkness and into the main fields of his Division. Many claimed it felt like a strong gust of hot wind blowing the Division whenever he enters the barracks. In result, he was often left alone by his Division members, but still, he likes it this way; being left completely alone without anyone to bother him, other than his mountains of paperwork that is. He was used to the silence then, he is now used to the silence now. But in spite of those feelings he had before, the changes made a slight difference in him somehow; at times, he would actually enjoy the silence, but at times, a feeling emerges from the depths of his heart, a feeling of envious that others may socialize with another while he is stuck on the line of giving orders.

What remains of his persona are uncharted regions of what others would never think of coming from Alvin, and yet Alvin himself is not quite sure what are behind these personas of his, but they are most definitely be the silence and calmness. His natural, rarely talking personality had taken over him yet again, even after two times of changes and going through tough trials that would wind Alvin back up. He is still ignorant over those around him to a certain degree, but nothing major, most of it replaced with his current caring nature. Despite this, he respects other people, regardless of who or what they are, as he respects himself.

History
The human self of Alvin was born approximately seventy years prior to the actual time. He was born into a family of newspaper men and women who dedicated their lives into their work. Eventually, Alvin himself started his life as a newspaper boy around the age of seven with no proper education that can help him, as his family was a poor and small family. His older brother was at the age of twenties and his older sister was at the age of seventeen, and they had started their lives as reporters just like their parents. As a young child, Alvin was a little brat that did not want to do what his parents told him to and occasionally steal food of his favor just for fun. It was his life; living in a cramped house under vivid lights, stealing food for various reasons that include his survival as his parents didn't have enough money to buy the food he favored. His usual behavior gave him the needs in order to survive without food and comfort, thus causing him to become rebellious against his parents and older siblings that cared for him. He didn't know, and he was tired of living like this. In result, he ran from his home and lived alone like a thief.

At the age of eight, Alvin began his life as a homeless boy, one of which others thought that his parents abandoned him, but it was the other way around. He lived along the streets, sleeping under others' porch lights, bathing in lakes, eating remains and whatever he can get his hands upon. His behavior over many days, months, and even years made the local people familiar of his face, and provided the chance, they would eventually call the police on him. Having called the police on him numerous times had given him the ability to run away from them easily, resulting in him capable of running away from the police countless times. Though he stole multiple things in order to survive, he wasn't labelled anything by the police, merely a small town delinquent, and mostly, a brat.

Though he was happy with his life being like a thief, Alvin was lonely; he was still so young to be a delinquent hunted by various police. Gangs of older people wouldn't dare to attack him, nor would they form a pact with him. None likes him, thus he was left alone in massive number of committed sins, mostly stealing and various others. He grew all alone day by day trying to survive, and still none likes him. The usual loneliness suffered by Alvin caused him to become a rather shy person; not used to talking and displaying a usual frown, a frown of which he brought up until now. He wasn't really happy of his life after re-thinking about who he is, and tried to end his own life in various forms of suicide, but all of the attempts were to fail miserably.

One day, Alvin got what he wanted; his town was destroyed by a rough and massive whirlwind which destroyed neighboring towns as well. It was quick to end, though it brought many dead lives along with it, with Alvin among them. Alvin didn't remember a thing of what happened, what was he doing by the time he was killed, where was he when it hit, when was it. All he remembered was the sands covering his eyes and that he was dead. By the time he opened his eyes, he was already a Plus; a spirit. He didn't see any other Pluses, but he didn't really care. He grabbed the chains on his chest tight, and walked around to see the damages the whirlwind had done. It was all too soon until a Shinigami came. The Shinigami asked Alvin what happened, though Alvin cannot explain more than what the whirlwind had done, which the Shinigami can see clearly around her. The Shinigami then sends Alvin instantly to Soul Society after describing what Soul Society looks like.

Once he arrived in Soul Society, none greeted him. Again, he was set for the sight of loneliness. None likes him, leaving him alone. He couldn't figure out why others didn't like him; he was just sent to Soul Society, and he didn't look unusual. The pain of having no friends gave him the expression of perpetual anger on his features. Soon, he realized something; something great. Something that made him shine among other Souls. He possessed reiryoku unlike anyone else; he didn't care about having no friends anymore. His reiryoku was the thing that made him happy, before the Hollows came to Rukongai and attacked the innocent souls. Alvin was one of the most targeted souls by the Hollows, possessing higher amounts of reiryoku than others. But even with that, he couldn't do anything to fight the Hollow. He was scared to death, until another Shinigami came and destroyed all the Hollows surrounding him. The Shinigami then took a glance at Alvin with his glasses; pride reflected on his glasses. The Shinigami crouched to reach Alvin, saying that he has potential.

Not long after the Hollows' attack which scarred Alvin momentarily, a Hollow outbreak appeared: an outbreak which resulted in the many deaths of the souls around Rukongai. It was brief and swift; souls around Alvin were wiped out one by one, either caught by the Hollows or devoured by the creatures. He didn't care about anyone. He looked forward, tears streaming from his eyes, his heart beating so fast that Alvin had a rather difficult time breathing. But still, he didn't want to die. He wants to live, seeing the potential that the Shinigami said to him. In most cases people would simply surrender, he kept on running forward, others around him were taken and eaten away. For a moment he thought that he was lucky, none of the Hollows had laid their hands on him. It was then that a massive, bird-like Hollow attacked him. There was nothing he could do, and he accepted his fate. Again, he was lucky; the Shinigami came once more. Among them, a fourth-seated Shinigami came to his aid and healed him before dealing with the other injured souls as the other Shinigami advanced forward to the source of the Hollows' outbreak. Alvin stayed there, staring at the woman who just saved his life. A woman of pure beauty, but eventually forgot her as time passes.

A couple of months after the Hollow outbreak, Alvin was still focused on his reiryoku, amazed by how the Shinigami said that he has potential. It motivated him greatly, resulting in him entering Shin'ō Academy in order to control it. Unlike what he was like in Rukongai, Alvin was one of the popular guys in the academy. Many liked him and became friends with him. Though his near-perpetual frown remains, others still liked him. But he wasn't just focused on socializing; Alvin was also a gifted student with greater grades allowing others to see his potential. In the end, Alvin graduated as an accomplished Shinigami with fair grades in all aspects.

Soon enough, he was accepted inside the Fifth Division under the captain who saved him before; Sōsuke Aizen. His grades allowed him to apply inside the Division easily and instantly positioned as the seventh seat. He was welcomed warmly by the Division, including the captain himself. He became so fun-loving unlike he was before; scarred by loneliness. Along as time goes, Alvin became very close to the captain, allowing him to talk with the captain occasionally with the provided time. His bond with the captain was beyond anyone within the Division, excluding the lieutenant, of course. Though he was happy, he didn't know that the captain was planning something.

One night, the captain called him into the forests of Hokutan; within the Rukongai. A peaceful grassland of Rukongai with little to no chance of Hollows appearing and attacking the place. The night was so soothing, yet something terrible was behind it. It was when Alvin was cursed with the Hollow powers. Behind the glasses of Aizen, an evil grin was displayed as he pulled out a gem-like item. Alvin had no idea what it was like, but it all soon turned black. All he saw and heard was that Aizen said something about thanking him being an excellent test subject, and the item shining in all the darkness surrounding his eyesight.

When he woke up, the Onmitsukidō and his friends from the same Division were already around him. When he asked what happened, the captain of the Second Division answered by stating that he is under arrest for possessing Hollow powers. When Alvin asked what did she mean by it, a Hollow-like mask appears on his face and he can sense his reiryoku possessing Hollow-like property. Confused, he tried to run away with all his skills. He ran through the opened Senkaimon forcefully, and exiled himself to the World of the Living. He didn't know what happened to himself, but he didn't care anymore. He tried to rule over his new powers, mastering them. His frown worsens, and his fun-loving personality is no more. His bonds with his captain destroyed, all of his friends betrayed him. He became someone worse than his human self, and he swore revenge against his former captain. Instant training was all he thought. He must become stronger, stronger than his enemy.

The training he'd underwent was various and numerous; one including training with his Zanpakutō resulting him to achieve Bankai, and another including training with his Inner Hollow resulting in full control of his Hollow powers along with a Resurrección which he deemed as his secret and trump card. He doesn't care if his being is a being hated much by the Shinigami, as long as he becomes more powerful than who he was before, setting the entirety of his sights and dreams into destroying the man he hated so much.

Later after his exile, he learned the shocking truth while he was rendered unconscious through the training with his Inner Hollow. He was Hollowfied, resulting in him being a temporary creature of a Hollowfied Shinigami, with his Inner Hollow taking over his mind and body shortly after it was born. It ran rampant all across Seireitei and resonating a Hollow-like reiatsu so pure with no Shinigami influence to it, seemingly making the Shinigami notice and thought it was a real Hollow. When they caught up upon the rampaging beast, it killed nearly a hundred non-seated officers of the Gotei 13, some are Alvin's friends. It ran rampant all along the night before its reiryoku drains out completely, revealing Alvin underneath the creature that killed multiple Shinigami officers. Strangely, the creature went back to the place where Alvin was first Hollowfied, giving those who are skilled enough to capture it a chance of detecting its presence fading and find Alvin behind it all.

Thousand-Year Blood War
During the Shinigami war against the Quincies, Alvin took part to fight against the small resisting Quincy forces that plotted a massive onslaught into the World of the Living while a larger and an even more massive onslaught was brought into the Soul King Palace. Due to the fact that this resistance team is at a small amount, not to mention composed of ordinary Quincies who do not possess any actual powers, no one was able to notice their presence. Though the Quincies weren't focusing much on this assault of theirs, the small force took many innocent lives of the humans living peacefully around the World of the Living. Having nothing to do and none to help, Alvin took the deliberate action of slaying these Quincies which was a successful defense of the realm. It was then that his powers as a Yajū awakened.

Equipment
Smoking Pipe: Alvin holds onto an item which he deemed as his lucky charm. It is a variation of an ordinary smoking pipe which he got a long time ago. It is elongated to the point is measures up to twice the length of a normal smoking pipe. Its lip part is slightly longer than an average smoking pipe, and is completely black before having thicker and longer part that acts as the tenon, in which it is used to hold the entire pipe. However, unlike its lip part, the tenon is colorfully painted, having multiple colors to make it very elegant. Just like all other smoking pipes, its bowl is curved upward where the smoke leaks out of, and is colored black. The edge of the pipe itself is decorated with a metallic, realistic blue-ish white feather.

Scythe Mastery
Scythe Mastery: So far the most valued and favored aspect of fighting belonging to Alvin, he is a well-known proficient wielder of a scythe-like weapon while being a very feared enemy as well. Alvin wishes to improve more upon this weapon wielding proficiency and trains upon it day by day without ever giving up in order to achieve greater levels of wielding a scythe. Due to the fact that a scythe is not easy to master and needs exactly years to master before heading down to an actual battle, many requirements are needed to achieve such mastery, one of which requires one's arms and hands to be quick enough in order to carefully handle the weapon. Along with that, one's arms and hands are also required to be able to perform such twists and turns, in which Alvin possesses both of the requirements. As such, one's tricks behind the unpredictable offense of mastering a scythe can be outright decided dangerous by many.

Alvin's current primary method of battling normally lies around his skills in wielding a scythe-like weapon along with a combination of his Hakuda proficiency and Kidō skills. Like his swordsmanship, he heavily relies on his right hand to wield the released form of his Zanpakutō and his way of wielding it mainly revolves around the unpredictable wide swings and arcs among multitudes of slashes dealt by him through the typical twists and turns of his right hand whereas his left hand is left with little to no movements at all, either normally used to guard against attacks directed to the left part of his body or cast Kidō spells in order to immobilize his enemies. That being said, whenever Alvin is in the "mood" to fight, his left hand pretty much plays a rather important role in handling the lower part of his released Zanpakutō's shaft whereas his right hand handles the upper part of the shaft. While his unpredictable slashes dealt using only his right hand is completely random, meaning each and every slash cannot be predicted even if one typically fights Alvin on a daily basis, his skills in wielding using both hands change into something more reminiscent to relentless attacks composed of mainly consecutive slashes in which they are unpredictable unlike his skills in wielding solely with his right hand. As such, Alvin would simply swap the battle styles from one to another in order to toy with his enemies or make them harder to predict or see through his slashes, typically ending with him being able to achieve such random advantages in such random timings whenever his enemies are left with no defense. Storming forward with fast slashes include in his unpredictable battle styles to weaken the defense of his enemies so he would simply target the weak points left open by his enemies.
 * Kubikiri (首切り, Decapitation): A technique solely dedicated to end a particular enemy with such short periods of time, this technique does perfectly as the name suggests. Readying his stance with his right leg distanced away from his left along with it placed forward whereas his left leg placed backward, he wields his released Zanpakutō using his right hand placed pacing around the right side of his body. His left hand, as always, will be left unused. There are two kinds of attack types this technique features: one is through simple movement where he runs charging to his targeted enemy, giving a certain degree of hint that allows his enemy to guard or to flee. Two is through the use of Shunpo where he moves instantly behind his enemy. Either way, the next move is to simply get Alvin behind his targeted enemy. Once he gets behind the enemy, through fast gestures of his right hand, turning around his released Zanpakutō in order to place the cutting edges of his released Zanpakutō into a position in which it is positioned facing the neck of the enemy, as the name suggests. With the moves completed, Alvin instantly pulls his Zanpakutō, instantly decapitating the targeted enemy. Though it holds a significant role within the battlefield, Alvin typically uses this technique only to decrease the actual number of enemies he is facing, and typically targets the weakest among the enemies who are, in general terms of actual powers, have little to no defense against attacks like this.

Innate Abilities
Immense Spiritual Power: Despite being a former seventh-seated Shinigami, Alvin possesses a quite tremendous amount of reiryoku. It wasn't present then when Alvin was just a human, and it wasn't as strong as Alvin's current reiryoku back when Alvin was just a resident in Rukongai. Though he had very little reiryoku back then, it was greater than anyone else's, thus it might be the reason of why Alvin was left alone. Since he attended the Shin'ō Academy, Alvin trained hard in order for his reiryoku to grow, and after his exile into the World of the Living, his reiryoku grew stronger as well. shortly after his exile, it is equivalent to the level of an average fourth-seated Shinigami. Now, however, it may even rival the greatest among captain-class reiryoku as well, possessing greater properties and sharpened than before. When exerted, it manifests itself within a column of pure reiatsu in the color of dark purple, gigantic in size. His reiatsu, when exerted at full force, may give a hint to those who are unaware of Alvin's Zanpakutō abilities; it may resonate multiple waves of purple cloud-like mist that reach ten meters around Alvin's figure. These waves are toxic, thus those who breathe through it may have a chance of getting poisoned within their organs or receive physical damage similar to a Hollow's acidic ability. It is rare to occur, and had been recorded to occur for only three times during his younger times, though the chances of this effect to occur have been increased greatly since his training. His reiatsu would also give a hint of who Alvin really is to those who don't know him; being a Vizored, his reiatsu is dual-typed, half Shinigami and half Hollow. It is also known that his eyes would glow red for a short period of time as the Hollow-side of his reiatsu appears. Upon his recent discovery over his powers belonging to those of Yajū's, both his reiryoku and reiatsu changed once more into something more fitting of a hybridization over his original race and his status as a Vizored. The significant change allows his reiatsu to become more wild and more beast-like, allowing those around him to sense a more ominous presence over his reiatsu. Though it retains its original form of a combination between Shinigami's reiatsu and Hollow's reiatsu, such change made more of a predator-like reiatsu to surround over both of Alvin's original reiatsu, combining it more into a triple fusion of what Alvin really is.

Master Swordsman: Swordsmanship is in the top and first line of Alvin's offensive options other than his skills in wielding his sealed Zanpakutō, as well as the second aspect of fighting Alvin loves the most. While in his times back when he was still a seated member in his Division, he was among the best, after his exile into the World of the Living, his swordsmanship skills were lengthened even more. Once matching the skills of fifth until fourth-seated Shinigami, now his level of swordplay rivals among the best of captain-classed Shinigami, and is still in training in order to reach greater levels. The way he wields his Zanpakutō is not usual and deemed unique by others as his way of fighting differs from what is called usual. He focuses all of the strength and power of his skills into the grip of his right hand. This right hand is mainly used for piercing thrusts which would otherwise need unusual stances other inexperienced swordsmen wouldn't think of, as well as wide arcing swings with considerable speed. The strength he puts on his right hand is heavily concentrated to the point his right hand sort of shakes involuntarily in certain battles, and as proof to that, he was able to break through the Kidō barriers of those who possess considerable talents in Kidō with a single slash. His left hand, however, is not left free and without use; it is primarily used to enhance the focus of his right hand by staying at the tip of his Zanpakutō, easing Alvin during piercing strikes, as well as to enhance the unity of Alvin's swordsmanship along with his hand-to-hand combat skills.
 * Hirazuki (水平突き, Horizontal Thrust): A basic technique of swordsmanship Alvin learned during his time within the Shin'ō Academy, it is very basic in its description and of how to use it, and throughout the academy, almost every Shinigami has learned it. Despite that, a true master of swordsmanship is the only one ultimately able to master this technique into its fullest extent both in form and power. In Alvin's case, this technique is as basic as it can be, as this technique is regularly used by him throughout most of his fights. By pointing his Zanpakutō forward in a way reminiscent to one about to pierce another, and with his mastery over this technique, he has no need to hold his Zanpakutō's hilt with both of his hands, leaving his left hand open and used to aim for the target. It is ultimately crucial for Alvin to maintain the stance perfectly in order to keep the strength and weight factors of this skill are enough to produce its power to the fullest. It has been shown that through this technique Alvin is able to pierce through even the toughest among shields.
 * Banteki (蛮的, Barbarous): A swordsmanship technique originally created by Alvin himself, this is also one of the swordsmanship techniques usually utilized by Alvin during his battles. Simply put, Alvin focuses all of his strength into the hand his sword is wielded with, and with the support of his reiatsu enveloped the provided strength, Alvin is able to cut through anything. The effects of this technique varies, ranging from any type of defense and shield being cut through or a simple slash ending with it being able to cut through a ginormous object about the size of a castle. The slash contains even the greatest, most powerful power, which also allows the technique to send a shocking wave of air containing the strength allowing the air to bust through the earth for approximately fifty meters.
 * Shinkaiheigen (深海平原, Abyssal): Pointing his Zanpakutō downward with both hands wielding the hilt, Alvin puts his strength into his hands. With the requirements met, Alvin thrusts his Zanpakutō downward into the earth, piercing it, resulting in a gigantic earthquake and multiple shock waves resonating meters apart from Alvin's figure. Aside from the earthquake, this technique is also able to crush through the earth, resulting in tremors and the area of the earth which Alvin pierced being cut into several, if not numerous, gigantic rocks and boulders.

Hakuda Expert: Though Alvin prefers to not utilize his hand-to-hand combat skills as his durability does not work its properties in the said aspect, one way or another he has to train for Hakuda in order to utilize greater levels of fighting style. Currently, Hakuda serves as the second line of offense and defense of Alvin's, and is mostly trusted to block unsuspected attacks due to him having great reflexes. He bets all of his defenses and a little of his offense to his arms, mainly his left arm that is not particularly used when he is utilizing his swordsmanship or his skills in using a scythe, allowing him to be able to pull of tricks of mixed fighting styles and Hakuda skills combined in order to effectively and quickly dispatch his enemies. His Hakuda's skills in their widest and farthest extent, may rival even the best among the Gotei 13, though he is rather inexperienced due to him rarely working his skills, and lost battles were faulty of his movements of his rarely trained techniques, aside from him being right-handed, leaving his left hand off the charts weaker than his right.

Kidō Expert: A person in possession of a great deal of reiryoku, it is natural that Alvin is talented within the arts of Kidō as well. Though his skills are nothing compared to his former captain's Kidō skills, Alvin is powerful in his own way; he is able to use medium-leveled Kidō spells without their incantations and receive power that does not deserve to be called maximum though not minimum as well. Despite his talents in Kidō, Alvin does not want to utilize his skills in proper combat due to his love of fighting using his swordsmanship, and usually only using his Kidō skills in order to ensnare his enemies using Bakudō. His most favored spell to use is either Shitotsu Sansen or Hōrin, which he utilized perfectly multiple times. Those who are used to fighting Alvin would know that when he is utilizing his Kidō skills, there is a trap hidden somewhere within the area they're fighting in.

Shunpo Expert: Aside from the speed of his slashes utilized mostly during his swordplay, Alvin lacks any actual speed to catch up with the rest of his aspects in combat. Mainly, through the uses of Shunpo, Alvin is allowed to travel through vast distances with only a blink of an eye and all those distances didn't even count. So far, his Shunpo skills are one of the most developed aspect above all others, with Alvin acknowledging his own lack of speed, and due to him being the captain of his own current Division, he must excel at this aspect above others. His Shunpo skills usually allow Alvin to travel farther than what typical Shunpo practitioners can do, and with little less effort and time in doing them. However, he has exactly one weakness; should he use, in a manner of consecutive steps without any recognizable stops from each step, fifty Shunpo at once, his legs will experience cramp, leaving him not only immobile, but defenseless, for at least a couple of minutes.

Intellectual Strategist: Alvin is rather a cunning strategist, able to provide a way out to most of his troubles with lesser efforts than what others put in order to free themselves from these troubles. Frankly, Alvin is not well aware of his ability to produce such way out, thus he does not use his mind at all in battles or even outside battles. The only time where his mind works is when he tried to escape his work multiple times before being caught by the lieutenant, despite this he still not realize up until now. His unawareness about his intellectual strategist is the main reason of why he lost to multiple battles before. It is still unknown of how he is unaware about his intellectual mind.

Enhanced Durability: Due to his Zanpakutō's special ability in its Shikai state, Alvin has trained himself to endure pain, to which he often claims as "ignoring the pain". He can take up to continuous damages, in which most of them are consecutive slashes. His forearms and calves serve as the best defense, thus his scars can reveal themselves being present mostly on his forearms and calves. Slashes by other sharp weapons such as Zanpakutō are normal to Alvin, and even strong blows such as a limb-cutting attacks which can cut off his arms would have no effect on him other than succumbing to the pain later on. What is unlikely for Alvin to hold against is strong blows from those who have great physique prowess, such as consecutive punches or kicks. He is used to being cut, but he is not used to hold against hand-to-hand strikes, which is the main reason of why he doesn't allow his hand-to-hand combat abilities stand alone. Any strong blows would be very influential and hinder him defenseless for a short period of time, taking up to one until two minutes or more.

Enhanced Strength: A person in possession of great physique, it is obvious as people look through his physical appearance, and find it rather matching that he has great physical strength. As it stands, Alvin possesses a degree of physical strength way beyond the levels of any normal humans. A single punch from him to a person with normal defense would end up in the person flying few meters away with a damage, and a single thrust from his Zanpakutō would end up in the earth being split in halves. He is also able to utilize greater levels of his own strength; one of them being able to punch through a wall with considerate ease, another being able to fluctuate the facet of even the most solid among objects. However, due to the fact that he is still young, his strength is rather imperfect and is still under development of which Alvin is willing to see the results of it.

Zanpakutō
Dokuga (毒牙, Poisoned Fang): In its sealed state, Dokuga resembles a fairly ordinary katana with some alterations. It is at average length, possessing a standard silver-colored blade along with a standard bronze hilt guard and hilt of the same color. The hilt guard is wrapped within dark purple coloration and its hilt guard forms a variation of an hourglass. Its shape is derived from an octagon, separated in the middle as the hourglass's upper and lower separate parts and each part rotated a hundred-and-eighty degrees, in which both have multiple molded lines upon them. It is sheathed using a decorative black sheath with grey markings, placed on the side of Alvin's left thigh. Within Alvin's inner world, where Dokuga's spirit resides, it took a different form not unlike its name: it is a colossal and muscled wolf-like beast shaded with dark to grey fur along its body, dwarfing even Alvin himself. Its eyes are blood-ish red, similar to Alvin's, with multiple dark purple linings all placed on the left side of the beast's face. It has distinguishing features, such as razor-sharp fangs along with claws deemed to be able to shred through anything, along with nine tails appearing on the beast's rear. Whenever it speaks, its voice can be heard, which is massive and encompassing. Much like its partner, this spirit is cold and hungry for vengeance, though on rare occurrence it would be very warm-hearted and kind.
 * Shikai: Dokuga is activated by the command "Contaminate" (汚す, Yogosu). Upon activation, the entire Zanpakutō glows in dark purple color before emerging from the light. In its Shikai form, Dokuga changes significantly both in its size and shape, along with its design and color, becoming more of a scythe-like weapon. Dakuga.jpeg Its shaft is considerably long, resulting in Dokuga to stand a few centimeters taller than Alvin himself, and is completely black along with its typical cylindrical shape with a spiked end connected with a simple, metallic ring. On the upper part of the shaft nearing the blade, a certain length of the shaft nearing one-third of the original length is wrapped with a colorless roll of thin, also what appears to be fragile, piece of paper. At the end of the shaft lies the blade in which it is held by the shaft. The blade is thinner than usual, and its rather dull facet features two cutting edges as opposed to only one with its sharp point ending quite the distance from the shaft. Chains connected to each other are placed on a hole situated on the back of the blade. The blade also features cracks; multitudes of cracks in which it is revealed to hold some sort of purple liquid.
 * Shikai Special Ability: Dokuga's special ability works passively, not actively, thus those who aren't used to fighting Alvin would be in for a surprise. Dokuga's ability, in its most simple description, replaces Alvin's blood and bodily fluids into sickly dark purple liquid, which is actually poison. It is an ability one cannot expect, and as one perceives through Alvin's action while wielding Dokuga in its Shikai state, the more one would press forward to attack, resulting in Alvin using his forearms and calves to defend against the incoming attacks which are mostly slashes, in which builds up Alvin's durability more and more. The poison acts the exact same way as his blood does, thus he is immune to the poison and slashes that hit his forearms or calves result in the poison "bleeding" out to physically touch his enemies. Upon making physical contact on his enemies, this poison would stick on the enemy's skin, and it slowly disperses as it seeps down under his enemy's skin, "injecting" it into the enemy's bodily fluids and organs. Once the poison is inside the enemy's body, it would abruptly heat up, resulting in great pain upon his enemy. However, this poison will not heat up unless Alvin wills it to heat up, meaning that if Alvin wants his enemy to experience pain unlike any other, he would activate the poison if it was scattered all over his enemy's body. Despite this great ability, Dokuga does have a weakness; because this poison acts as Alvin's blood, losing the poison too much would eventually cause Alvin to die because of "blood" loss. Those who are smart enough would figure this out quickly and aim for the weakness to defeat him briefly. Dokuga's ability still remains within Alvin if Dokuga was separated from Alvin.
 * Yakimono (焼きもの, Tampered Blade): Dokuga has another special ability to envelop the poison from Alvin's bodily fluids to its entire blade, resulting in the blade having distinctive purple outlines that glow as the technique progresses. However, once this technique is activated, the poison enveloped around the blade takes different ability than its original Shikai ability. In fact, this poison does not have any actual abilities, what is left for it to do is augment the cutting power of Dokuga until its time runs out. This technique, while it is not developed well enough, can only last for approximately ten until twelve minutes.
 * Ketsuryū (血流, Blood Flow): While the technique Yakimono is activated, Dokuga has another technique that fires forth the poison that temporary envelops Dokuga's blade. This technique, as aforementioned before, fires forth the poison that temporarily envelops the entirety of Dokuga's blade, in which the poison has different effect once more. Whenever Alvin swings Dokuga while Yakimono is activated, dark purple liquid, reminiscent to blood as it is Alvin's current "blood", descends as a crashing wave that surfs through the earth toward his enemy. Once hit, the enemy would be blinded temporarily for approximately five to twelve minutes, as this technique is still imperfect. The poison works by physically touching his enemy, and once it "injects" itself down into his enemy's organs, it will work its way up into the enemy's brains and cut off the nerves and numerous others resulting in blinding the enemy, all in two seconds. This technique, as previously trained upon, is also capable to surf through the skies and make multiple light earthquakes containing the poison when struck into the ground.
 * Shōkō (昇汞, Corrosive Sublimate):

Bankai
Garō Dokuga (餓狼毒牙, Hungry Wolf Poisoned Fang): Alvin's Bankai isn't normally utilized during fights for a specific reason. Upon activation, a tower comprises of pure reiatsu in dark purple color dwarfs Alvin and eventually envelops Alvin before briefly dwindling, revealing Alvin wielding Garō Dokuga. In terms of weapons, Garō Dokuga does not change much aside from Dokuga, in its Shikai state, shifting its cracked blade into silvery color along with the addition of two short tassels hovering and tied onto the edges of Dokuga's ring. In addition to the Shikai weapon, a black gauntlet covers the entirety of Alvin's left forearm with exactly five long, wolf-like claws protruding forward in silver color, as well as two long spikes in the same color protruding to the side of Alvin's left forearm. In terms of appearance, however, Alvin changes drastically, allowing him to bring forth the appearance of a grim reaper with some unusual features that would reflect the features of a wolf, starting with his slightly longer, more messed up hair, glowing red eyes that would reflect a predator's, and a set of fangs. He now wears a rather shifted form of his original Shihakushō, its sleeves completely ripped off complete with his missing white underclothing and the captain's haori. It is now rather tight-fitting and becomes a cloak-like clothing with ripped endings which end just above his ankles, complete with what appears to be a silver's wolf fur acting as a collar around his neck and a black hood resting behind the fur. His hakama, now normally covered with his cloak-like clothing, is considerably tighter than any hakama ever seen and lacks the creases normal hakama sports. In addition to that, the silver wolf's fur appears multitude of times around his kneecaps and his ankles, acting as bangles.
 * Bankai Special Ability: Other than numerous augmentations over his spiritual abilities, Garō Dokuga enhances the poisonous ability its predecessor possesses. It still retains the special ability to replace Alvin's blood and bodily fluids into poisonous liquid which would act the exact same way as Alvin's blood would do, allowing him to gain immunity over the effect, with the side-effect if Alvin loses too much of this poison he would die of "blood" loss. The enhancement the Bankai made disperses this weakness alongside augmenting the actual power of the poison. In his Bankai form, Alvin would never die of "blood" loss, effectively causing him to subsequently emerge from his weakness and challenge nearly anyone. The poison spilled during Alvin's fights would all be piled across the battlefield if Alvin continues to bleed, and using the augmentation of Garō Dokuga, Alvin now possesses the ability that others are unlikely to suspect, which is manipulation over the poison spilled during the fights. He can create waves of the poisonous liquid, sweeping over the battlefield, provided the spilled blood possessing the amount needed. Torrents and crashing waves and waterfalls of this poisonous liquid are all possible, all wrapped around Alvin's mind and imagination, limited only to Alvin's lesser extent to control over the ability to do so and his imagination. The actual power of the augmented poison itself is devastating, and as it stands, Alvin may even slaughter any enemy within his path. How devastating it is ranges from burning off one's skin along with pain brought into vital organs, to a much more extent where the poison may actually burn off anything within its path, reducing everything or everyone into little more than ashes.
 * Gyakufū (逆風, Adverse Temperature): The first technique ever developed ever since his Bankai training, this technique is the most basic among all others, though it holds a significant meaning in terms of gaining advantage over to Alvin's side, as it is the first and foremost among other techniques. To simply put, this technique changes all the poison spilled during Alvin's battle into purple mist in which would envelop the battlefield tightly. Though it seems to be very dangerous, the mist form of the poison is completely harmless; others including Alvin himself would be able to see as usual, and does not affect others who breathe in the poison. It does not change a thing other than the form of its liquid into mist, all of its poisonous properties were simply robbed from it by the time Alvin activated this technique. In terms of details, this mist is formed by the exerted form of Alvin's reiatsu, mixing the poison with it combining into the mist, meaning that even if the poison spilled is not enough to make thick mists, using Alvin's exerted reiatsu, the mist may even envelop the largest among battlefields. It does not affect Alvin whatsoever; though if Alvin is lacking reiatsu at the time either this technique cannot be activated or the mist produced would be at an amount deserved to be called minimum, or in its most simple case, the exact same amount as the poison spilled. Though to maintain its equilibrium, having its poisonous properties robbed away, Alvin would eventually have to exert much more of his reiatsu in order to create more and more mist. To put it fairly, it is equivalent to the Tenth Division's captain, Tōshirō Hitsugaya's Tensō Jūrin.
 * Sanseiu (酸性雨, Acid Rain): With Gyakufū activated, it gives Alvin access to this technique, the second technique achieved by Alvin utilized only in Bankai form. With the mist surrounding him and his enemies, Alvin is able to exert more of his reiatsu in order to form these mists into purple-ish clouds which varies in all shapes and sizes containing the poison within them. These clouds are also massive and indestructible unless Alvin wills them to begone. With this technique activated, all the mists are gone, considering that Alvin exerted enough reiryoku to convert the mists into the clouds. With the lack of reiatsu exerted, some of the mists change into the clouds, which Alvin prefers to do more than converting all the mists, though with the lack of clouds this technique cannot be utilized. Eventually, given the time, these clouds will pour out the poison contained within them, as the name states, becoming acid rain upon Alvin's enemy. The random droplets of this poison can never be guessed, and it will burn through the enemy's skin, down under his or her organs, and eventually overwhelm the enemy. The rain continues up until one hour, or maybe longer if the exerted reiatsu requirements are met. This deadly rain is referred to as the "Finisher" by Alvin, and victims of this technique are still unable to find the weakness of this technique.
 * Mōdoku (猛毒, Deadly Poison): With Gyakufū activated, another technique is allowed to be accessed by Alvin. In its simplest description, this technique abruptly changes the form of the poisonous mist into a swirling, massive torrent of the liquid form of the poison, though unlike the previous techniques, this technique's effect is only for temporary. If Alvin exerts more of his reiatsu secretly, the mist will become liquefied, its form changing into its normal form once more. Combined, the entirety of the mist's volume would form a huge torrent of the poison, and with this torrent, Alvin may control this huge torrent. However, the effects of this technique only allow Alvin to control the torrent approximately three meters above the ground; meaning even with his willpower, he cannot force the torrent to go lower than the required height. As it stands, this technique is only for a temporary assault assisting Alvin in either offense or defense, thus with the required periods of time, this torrent will revert back into its mist form, covering the entire battlefield once more.
 * Meikyō (冥境, Shades of the Dead): The first ever technique created by Alvin himself in his Bankai form, this technique is a favor done by Garō Dokuga from Alvin's wanting. This technique has the ability to solidify the poison into a particular object when Alvin exerts a certain amount of his reiatsu. Overly-exerted reiatsu or the reiatsu exerted does not meet the requirements of utilizing this skill will ultimately lead to improper use of this technique, a strict requirement Dokuga made for Alvin in return for Dokuga in making the technique specifically. Solidifying the poison, all amounts of the poison will revert into a gleaming, giant, dark purple-colored stone which takes the form of a ginormous wolf's paw with rather razor-sharpened claws at the tips of its digits. This object floats directly behind Alvin after reverting into a solid object, giving his enemies a certain amount of time to protect themselves or run away before this technique's actual might. It is the deadly might of this mighty technique to follow the movement of Alvin's left forearm and hands while wielding the claw-equipped gauntlet in his Bankai form, and due to it having the ability to follow any actual moves controlled by Alvin automatically, Alvin does not need to control it telepathically, but physically using simple gestures of his left hand. With effecient training, this technique may last for an hour or even more, but Alvin can revert the poison back to its original liquid shape whenever he wants to.

Hollowfication
Hollow Mask: Upon his former captain's betrayal against Alvin, he gained Hollow powers from the Hōgyoku, transforming him into a Vizored which is a being that transcends a mere Shinigami. The most basic powers he gained with his new formed Hollow powers is the manifestation of a Hollow mask. His Hollow mask was derived from a dragon-like skull, which strays from Alvin's original wolf-like theme. At the very base of the mask, a single, rather polished opalescent diamond-shaped crystal that is quite unusual even for a Hollow mask is situated on the middle of Alvin's facial features. It has been known to reflect rays of lights coming in contact with it, allowing others to see a faint glow of mesmerizing lights in the midst of darkness during nights. The rest are what appear to be white bone-like materials originally found in any other Hollow masks. Multiple feather-like appendages in the shape of simple diamonds are arranged rather perfectly above the crystal to cover the upper parts of Alvin's head, consisting of one, simple crystal protruding solely upward and the rest on each side. Downward from the crystal is what seem to be parts in which they are pushed backward against Alvin's cheeks before going down to the upper jaw. The lower is connected solely onto the upper jaw through the Hollow-like teeth, resulting in the mask unable to open the gaping maw between the jaws, or otherwise the mask would crumble apart. The mask is eyeless, preventing Alvin to see through it, but the presence of his ominous eyes complete with the addition of the Hollow-like eyes can be felt resonating around, resulting in Alvin to rely deeply on his reiatsu-sensing abilities. Through training, the mask can resist heavy damages without even having a scratch upon it, but greater might than Alvin himself possess the ability to break through this mask with relative ease and no noticeable effort.
 * Power Augmentation: Upon activating his Hollow powers and his Hollow mask present upon his face, Alvin's power reaches a higher level beyond his normal one. This augmentation is present on various aspects of his physical prowess, allowing him to obtain advantages in multiple battles that involve physical attributes. However, as the mask reaches its limit, the weaker this augmentation would be.
 * Enhanced Speed & Agility: Speed and agility are the prime physical attribute chosen by Alvin's Inner Hollow, despite Alvin lacking any in his normal form, often resulting in Alvin to rely solely on this augmentation during most fights. Mainly, it allows him to travel through vast distances in such short periods of time without utilizing Shunpo, only utilizing his legs, along with the ability to overwhelm any enemies available by simply relying on his legs. It has been noted that his speed is inhuman, reaching a level far beyond standard human levels and is not achievable by any actual humans. Aside from this, his agility also increased widely in range from his normal levels, allowing Alvin to further evade any incoming attacks with such warnings before the attack. His increased speed and agility works perfectly together as of to run through a crowd of enemies, not to mention overwhelm them, without making any physical contacts with them.
 * Enhanced Strength: Commenting on his already impressive might, his strength obtains a level beyond his normal one. His newly-formed strength allows him to bust through normal defenses that he cannot pierce with his strength before, and with greater level of strength beyond a decent one, his strength finally rivals the strength of those positioning lieutenant-class to captain-class. His strength is mostly used to utilize greater level of swordplay, allowing Alvin to increase the cutting power of his Zanpakutō by inputting greater strength in wielding it. His strength was shown when he lifted up another Shinigami with his left hand and threw him without showing any physical tiring, and was also shown that he can keep up to the strength of captain-class Shinigami.
 * Enhanced Durability: Commenting on his already impressive durability as well, upon entering his Hollowed state, his durability is augmented once more, reaching a level to that of an inhuman level. His increased durability allows him to resist multiple damages beyond the normal levels of which he can withstand, "ignoring the pain" even more. Consecutive slashes on his forearms and calves literally mean nothing to him at all, as he can completely ignore the pain without succumbing to it later on as before. This durability does not only work on his forearms and calves which he used as guard the most, but to several other organs as well, such as his torso and the entirety of his legs, but with more tolerance of the pain than his forearms and calves, of course.
 * Cero: At will, Alvin is able to shoot off a powerful blast containing compressed and concentrated reiryoku which is common among Hollows and known by the name Cero. At least all Menos-classed Hollows are able to utilize this technique, and at least the vast majority of various simple Hollows are capable of doing so as well. AlvinCero.PNG In Alvin's case, Alvin is able to utilize this technique through simple hand gestures that include swiping or swinging his hands, pointing his index fingers, or even punch through the air, giving his enemies a sign of warning before charging or firing. Once utilized, which is quite often, his Cero is colored in indigo color, and as his reiryoku is so powerful, at times his Cero would need additional reiryoku in order to fire, causing it to deform slightly when charging, though it contains much and much more power than any other recognized Cero. Other than its impressive power, its size is relatively large as well as wide, giving others a small chance of avoiding it. It has been known that this technique of Alvin's is able to bust through ten buildings in a row.

Hollowfied Form: As the creature awakens, Alvin's Inner Hollow emerges from nothingness and took over Alvin's mind and body, it changed Alvin into a creature of pure combination between Alvin's original self and the form of his Inner Hollow. This process once happened upon the betrayal of Alvin's captain, and with this new form as the creature arises, Alvin was able to ran rampant all across Seireitei alongside killing massive numbers of non-seated Shinigami. Even the captains were very turbulent upon hearing the news as it once happened years ago as well. The creature's potential for power is limitless, and its reiatsu has been feared among non-seated and even seated Shinigami officers.

In his Hollowfied form, Alvin's appearance is as basic as it can be, though multiple Hollow-like physique appeared among various body parts. His head is obscured by his Hollow mask with the two horns being longer than they should be. Spikes are all arranged rather messily on a single line on his vertebrate, ending with a long, stiff white tail reaching up to five meters. His forearms are covered with Hollow-like bones with deformed, unevenly cut spikes protruding messily. Though the rest transformation is nothing compared to Alvin's usual appearance other than the addition of Hollow-like bones, his legs changed completely. Starting from the thighs, his thighs were covered in Hollow-like bones with decorative linings, and the structure of his calves began to deform slightly, becoming longer than the length of his normal legs and being similar to that of a raptor's legs, still covered in white Hollow-like bones. His feet completely changed as well, into four digits of large claw-like protrusions as the toes, three facing forward and one facing backward.
 * Immense Speed: The Hollowfied form of Alvin chose speed and agility as its prime way to battle, as aforementioned before. It never comes unnoticed by others that in his Hollowfied form, Alvin's speed increases greatly and rose into becoming one of the fastest creatures noted by the Gotei 13. His increased speed is the main reason of how his Inner Hollow managed to ran rampant all across Seireitei and killed numerous Shinigami in such short time, all not reaching even an hour. According to the data stored, the creature managed to kill ranging from one to three Shinigami every second.
 * Enhanced Agility & Flexibility:
