Alex Getsueikirite

Alex Getsueikirite (石田 雨竜, Getsueikirite Alex) is a classmate and companion of Seikyo Kawahiru and is introduced as the son of Ryan and Jessica Getsueikirite. As such he first steps up as a rival upon learning that ISeikyo became a Shinigami. Later events, however, make him join forces with him against common enemies, and he eventually becomes one of Seikyo's best and most reliable friends.

Appearance
Alex Getsueikirite is a brown-haired, preteen of average height. At school, Alex wears the school uniform along with a tie, while outside he dons black Shinigami clothes with red stripes.

Personality
Alex can be quite cheerful and mischievous. Despite his initially childish behavior, he does have a more serious side: maintaining a level of honor and integrity when engaging in battle, much like his father, Ryan. He refuses to fight in the presence of a child or even with a child. He always maintains a semblance of respect for his opponent and is polite in combat situations. Alex prefers to fight one on one.

His relationship with his father is also unique amongst the Shinigami and their parents, appearing more comical and light hearted. He does not address him with the sama suffix (a Japanese honorific similar to Lord or Master), like the other children do for their respective parents, and simply calls him by his name or by father, though Ryan does not seem to mind. Alex does show respect for Ryan and knows of his true power even if he is more humble about it (or simply to lazy to show it), to the point of kicking him for allowing Seireitou Kuchiki to lead the battle against the Arrancar, knowing that Ryan maybe higher in rank and power than him.

Alex can also be a lazy and unenthusiastic character who apparently spends much of his time asleep and which no one, except Seikyo, appears to try and stop him. Unlike many of the Shinigami, he is not violent or overly arrogant. Although, he does not seem to care a great deal for his fellows, showing no sign of distress or concern when they are killed or attacked. When he learns of Ichiro's death, he lazily states there is nothing he could do about it, and when Seireitou and Ryan are apparently overwhelmed by their opponents' respective Ressureccion, he only asks Parvulo if all the Espada's releases are so powerful.

Background
He is born ten years before the Return to Hueco Mundo arc to Ryan and Jessica, making him ten years older than his rival, Seikyo. He is raised in the Seireitei, secluded from others mostly. Due to his lazy attitude and despite being one of the most talented students in the academy (even achieving Bankai), he was placed at first as the second seat of the First Division.

Powers & Abilities
Flash Step Expert: Alex's skill in shunpo is so great that it seems as though he possesses a form of teleportation as he moves in the blink of an eye, simply "appearing" solidly instead of shimmering for a second like other shunpo users. He is so swift that he used it to avoid both his father and Seireitou.

Swordsmanship Adept: While hating the concept of having to engage in a fight, Alex is presumably one of the most proficient swordsmen in his family. He is a highly adaptable combatant as his shikai released, two swords, have allowed him to become ambidextrous, meaning that he is able to switch hands between the two swords. Alex also swings with more strength in his right hand then his left. However, he can easily switch or balance the strength between his two hands, much to the surprise of his opponent. He claims that he does not use them together on a regular basis. The best example of Alex's prowess is shown from his ability to fight on even grounds with Seikyo Kawahiru, Seireitou's son, with only his sealed Zanpakutō while other Shinigami have been seen requiring at least their Shikai against him. Alex's fighting style involves evasion and attacking an opponent either in the front or back using the element of surprise to overwhelm them.

Immense Spiritual Power: As the son of a Captain it is safe to assume that Alex has tremendous spiritual power. He is not overwhelmed by the Spiritual Pressure of Amatarou Omaha as most people would be in such a situation. His Spiritual Energy is green with a black outline.

Ikirei: Alex fires his Ikirei through his chest. As lightheartedly noted by Seikyo, unlike other Shinigami, he can fire one instantanously, without any warning or having to charge and focus the energy for the Ikirei like other Shinigami. It is a light green color with a black outline.

Perceptive Combatant: Alex has demonstrated an ability to be very detail oriented when it comes to fighting. He notices his opponent's mannerisms and discerns with ease the reasons behind those actions and the weaknesses and strengths of his opponents

Zanpakuto
Rosu (群狼, Wolf), Alex's zanpakuto, takes the form of a normal katana sporting an emerald-colored rectangular guard, with small protrusions on each corner, and a sun-like design wrapped around the hilt's collar. The hilt itself is a golden-yellow color, and the sheath is a metallic-gold color.
 * Shikai: Rosu is released by the command, "Howl at the Moon!". His shikai is unique in that it exists as two completely separate swords, existing as a daisho sword pair, considering of two katana. Their cross guards are rectangles, with the corners cut off, decorated by a pattern of triangles and lines, and each sport a dark-green handle.
 * Shikai Special Abilities: Rosu has the rare ability to fuse two or more items together. Often this involves itself and another weapon or attack. In the case that it fuses with an attack, it will change into a different weapon and gain the attack as it's own. In the case of a weapon it will become a hybrid of the weapon and itself.


 * Bankai: Rosu Robosu ((群狼 (ロスロボス), Wolf Pack): When released, he wields one ornamental katana. His upper body being covered in a jacket over a double-breasted vest, while his legs are covered in some kind of dark skin-tight pants with knee-high fur leggings covering his lower legs, and his arms are covered in some kind of elbow-length fur gloves that appears to end at his wrists. Also similar to his father's bankai, an enormous black dragon emerges from seemingly nowhere. Alex has stated that this is his zanpakuto spirit's true form. He can communicate with the dragon with his mind making this bankai very deadly. Alex has stated that it is very troublesome to use his bankai. Despite his hate of using it, he admits that it is highly effective in winning a battle quickly. The dragon appears to be sentient, similar to Retsu Unohana's Minazuki and Ryan's Mirā Tairanto Doragon. Therefore it has a mind of it's own and will do things of it's own will if the situation demands it. The dragon's scales seem to be fairly resistant to most attacks and the flap of it's enormous wings can stir up powerful winds. Whenever Alex is out of reiatsu or is damaged to the point of unconsciousness, the great dragon will vanish until it's next calling.
 * Bankai Special Ability: The dragon fires from it's mouth a blast similar to cero. It also retains the ability to fuse with other objects or beings. It's appearance upon fusion varies depending on what it is combining with. In the case that it fuses with an attack, it will change into a different form of dragon and gain the attack as it's own. In the case of a weapon it will become a hybrid of the weapon and itself.
