Kaisei Ryūren


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

Ryūzasshu Ryūren (雑種竜流連, Hybridized Dragon Flowing Communication), further identified by the name Alvin (アルヴィン, Aruvuin), is a Yajū, more correctly a hybridization over his original Yajū race and his status as a Shinigami. Currently leading the Fifth Division within the Gotei 13, he succeeded the previous captain in command, Shinji Hirako, following the latter's death upon the war between the Shinigami and the Quincy. Previously a mere seventh seat belonging to the same aforementioned Division and ascended into the third rank, he once served under the captain Sōsuke Aizen before his betrayal resulting the Division to be left without any proper guidance. As Shinji Hirako arose to take back his position as the captain, Alvin momentarily serves under him, but as the latter dies within the war, Alvin took the deliberate action of commanding his Division.

As a human who lived with his profoundly poor family, Alvin began his life as a newspaper boy following his family's business to strive and earn something for a living. He continued living without any proper education and without any guidance by his parents, he was never on the right path in the first place, ultimately causing him to support an unsuccessful business which consumes the economy of his family more and more. Desperate and under pressure, Alvin witnessed as his family's economy crumple before him as if it was a piece of fragile paper, along with an accident that befalls to his family; a rampant Hollow which killed off the entirety of his family, causing him to become someone even worse. Left without guidance at the age of fifteen, he finally died due to starvation before he was sent to Soul Society to live a happy life.

Alvin's very being represents the symbolism of one's anger, one's more of an ominous side, but most of the time, he represents the very essence of a silenced man, doomed to a horror intact within one's memory that cannot part, along with one's solemness within his Division. An uneasy feeling that truly fits for others' demise or calamity, Alvin brings forth these aspects solely by his presence as itself is enough to fully manifest the aspects physically, furthered with his multitudes of aspects, either his persona or powers. Those around his Division will know and recognize easily the uneasy feeling he brings forth.

Appearance
The defining form and the embodiment of multitudes of aspects that mostly include anger along with silence, Alvin is truly a figure that defines the very essence of anger due to his past. His presence gives off those around him the ominous sensation as if one is there to kill another, and is further defined by his reiryoku. Alvin appears to be an exceptionally tall, young-looking person whose body figure is slender which is refined nicely, his physique is well toned and muscled fitting and deserve to be perceived by others as if he is a person who trains himself in his typical every day's life. His skin may appear to be quite tan in coloration, a product of his activities during his times as a human, daily spent out in the heat of the sun. His face is long and appears to be in ellipse shape, with some sort of prominent markings around the area of which would be his cheeks. His hair is jet black that messily covers most parts of his features all kept in a spiky and scruffy hairstyle with bangs typically covering his eyes along with a single, parting bang that goes down to reach his nose, also leaving messy and long sideburns that cover the sides of his face. His nose and chin are quite blunt on their respective edges. His eyes that truly define the very essence of anger are unusually blue in color, sea blue at that, leaving them to scare off those around him with such ominous stares. Unlike his hair, his eyebrows appear to have a color similarly to his eyes, perpetually dyed by Alvin himself, and are kept distancing from each other to form an angry expression, complete with his lips which are quite thin and is kept frowning perpetually, having little to no chance at all for him to smile.

Alvin wears the typical set of clothing that all Shinigami share altogether, called Shihakushō (死覇装, Garment of Dead Souls), which, through Alvin's perspective, is a thick clothing consisting of multitudes of layers of pure black and white clothing. A white underclothing is placed as the first layer that is normally tight fit, along with its second layer consisting of a black kosode, which, like his underclothing, is styled to become a very tight fit clothing with its sleeves large enough to cover one's arms and hands with relative ease. Tied around his waist is a simple white obi layered once more with a thicker sash of pure dark purple coloration, tying together Alvin's black hakama which normally reaches around his ankles with its design not straying afar from his original tight clothing style. Unlike most Shinigami, he wears a set of atypical traditional Japanese sandals which share similarities to that of the typical waraji, the geta sandals. A single layer dedicated to point Alvin's rather prominent role within the Gotei 13 is shown on the outermost clothing, which would appear to be a completely white captain's haori, its sleeves ripped off, along with the insignia of his Division emblazoned on its back. Forged by his very own hands, he wears an emerald pendant that bears a truly bizarre aura through most perspectives in the shape of a crystalline gem tied with a rather thick string. Lastly, a sash over his right calf is tied tightly with an atypical type of material along with his Zanpakutō placed behind his calf, truly an atypical way of placing one's Zanpakutō that most are not aware of.

Personality
An unexpected turns of events, Alvin was chased off to the fact that his frown is hooked and fixed over his typical expression in his every day’s life. From his eyes witnessed true horror that would forever change his life as long as he could remember and as his memories intact within his mind, a tragic cause of which came to the physical form of his frown. A sense of anger, Alvin is truly the person worth being feared by many as his frown comes to their mind along with his ominous presence being near a certain place. What others deem of him by a single glance is something that none could withstand; a simple judge of which Alvin is to blame for his ominous presence.

However, through his eyes, everything is reversed of what others deem of him through simple glances. True, he is a figure worth being feared, along with some other captains of the Gotei 13, but all of his perspective do not truly stem from what has happened to him; Alvin does not blame his past of what it has caused him, manifesting the embodiment of anger and vengeance. In fact, he rarely shows any aspects that can truly be called anger or vengeance, nor is he as scary as his appearance may suggest from the perspective of others.

A complex man shrouded with mystery, Alvin shows a rather atypical form of what captains are there to show; an embodiment of a person who holds the very being of silence and is quite taciturn in many ways, though through such rare occasions in which Alvin is needed to talk, he will talk. His frown fixed over his typical expression no longer holds any meaning to those who are brave enough to know him. Having little to say, Alvin is outright ignorant in many ways as well as complete with the mysteries that others are yet to discover about him. Manifesting his ignorance, it is typical and found profoundly often for him to show little to no care at all to those around him in various ways that range usually from ignoring them completely to the fact that he could leave a particular person to die simply because he ignores that person. His ignorance leaves him simply with Alvin to show no care at all to competence to those around him, allowing him to receive the conditional advantage to ignore such rivalry which would typically end one’s life along with one’s rival.

Still, the mysteries that shroud him are yet for others to discover, and lies uncharted regions that would explain who Alvin really is. At heart, Alvin is that person who holds such caring nature that would bear the burden of others through such variety of ways, despite his intact frown solely there to stop those around him from reaching his true nature. Profoundly kind and one who bears the warmth of his heart, Alvin is both physically and mentally ready to support his friends or his subordinates in any ways possible, showing this to not only his friends or subordinates, but to his enemies as well. Stemming from this very aspect as well as his past, he shows certain degree of concerns to those who are close to him that would range from him being able to help without asking such questions, into the person who would reluctantly attack his enemies unless absolutely necessary. Truly an aspect which contradicts the very essence of his ignorance, Alvin’s true nature lies within this very aspect of which others would suggest otherwise out of a simple glance. Outright complex, this true nature is often shown to those who truly know him from the inside, along with those who necessarily need kindness and the warmth of the heart, stemming from the very essence of what happened to him all those years ago.

Yet another of his nature stemming from his past, it has been his experience to not judge others based on how they appear through his eyes. The circular motion that in reality hides the very essence of one’s nature like his original one; those who show unusual and dull features are truly the ones who have overcame obstacles of their lives to show how they are like. Not to judge others by their appearance or through eyes which look by simple glances that would often get one into trouble is the one aspect that Alvin values in his life. Truly the nature that others would look for, Alvin simply does not judge others; something that in essence has something worth being seen through. This nature of his led to him being able to resist detesting one as long as a valuable and reasonable explanation is behind one’s behavior in treating others; if none is to be found, Alvin would conclude that the person is truly rotten both outside and inside.

His previous nature would also lead him into believing karmic laws; if one is to detest another through such bizarre thoughts or offensive options that would physically hurt another, that particular person will receive the consequences from another that would exactly be the same of what that person did to another, and that another person would have to suffer the exact same consequences from another. Through this Alvin believes that humanity, Shinigami, animals of various forms, along with other races that include Hollows or Quincies or others would be able to gain peace through this law he believes in. As such, Alvin himself would eventually have to suffer from another due to his ignorance or others that befall of him, but truly the heroic figure of whom he appears to be, Alvin gains peace all for himself from preventing himself to fall into fights that he deems as useless or unnecessary. The laws themselves have led Alvin to believe in such mysterious forces that include the spirits of another realm, ghosts as such, gods who bring forth calamity to others, despite him being a Shinigami himself, the god who plays with the deaths of others.

Truly a bizarre person, an unsuspecting nature surfaces above all others which others may never think of it coming from Alvin; it shows a rather typical nature and yet atypical nature as well that others are yet to understand about him. He is profoundly lazy in unnoticeable number of ways that also contradicts his caring nature to its fullest, typically ranging from his typical way of sitting, allowing his chin to trample upon either one of his hands and his head bent low to the table, to the fact that he can actually sleep during his work hour, but nothing major is to be expected of this. His paperwork, left with mountains of them, are to be left behind with his numerous ways of ignoring them completely, typically leaving the members of his Division to do such work with their hateful hearts to work forth all those numerous mountains of paperwork, truly deserving to be called a calamity that befalls upon him whenever his lieutenant finds out about this.

Left with no other options that would otherwise be him reluctantly attacking his enemies, he shows yet another bizarre nature of his that others would never suspect of him and one of many that truly contradicts his previous ones as well. He will attack his enemies given the chance that his enemies are left with no other options other than to attack, he will not be reluctant to attack his enemies to the point that he obliterates any one of them that wishes to do harm to any of his colleagues or himself. The warmth of his heart disappears the outright moment any one of his colleagues are harmed by his enemies or even his allies. While being outright angered in motion, this is the moment in which his hooked frown can turn itself a hundred-and-eighty degrees into a full-fledged smile featuring over his face. A sense of happiness, it is a secret that Alvin brings forth anywhere possible and only his close ones that can acknowledge its dull smile upon his face. The word “fun”, by Alvin, can only be gained through the varying forms of combat against enemies who are willing to die in order to defeat his very existence, combats that Alvin cannot stop, combats that cannot be disturbed, or otherwise he wouldn’t be enjoying the fight.

Within the very essence of his heart he keeps an everlasting memory of his that has become intact to his mind, isolated within his mind. A memory that would never fade away, a memory that transformed Alvin into who he currently is. Though through the perspective of most he is simply a complex yet grumpy man, some knew that he is more than that; the simple cause of which a single fragment of his memory changed his attitude, truly a memory of one's worth to be kept and intact. A true horror as he watched his family being slaughtered by a single Hollow with his very own eyes, the very essence of that particular image ascends above all other memorial fragments intact within his mind; Alvin wishes to part with this memory, but it holds the true reason behind his nature. He could remember the stature of the Hollow, how the Hollow was like, the very appearance of the Hollow. He could remember his parents being slaughtered by the mighty claws of the Hollow, his brother and sister impaled through their hearts by the Hollow's tails. A sense of change, those around him would eventually know about his sudden change of nature within the encapsulated Karakura Town, as the very essence of the memory kept within his heart and intact within his mind took place within that town. A shift, fluctuating, irrefutable memory, that very memory ascends into the very being of Alvin, so that others claim that very memory of his is the physical form of Alvin's true nature.

Life as a Human
The very essence of Alvin's being, his entire life, revolves around the past he had experienced, leaving him to be a witness to a true horror seen through his eyes. His life truly began when his mother gave birth to him a few years after his older brother and exactly six years after his older sister. He was born into a profoundly poor family within olden times where business reigns supreme and is the source of everything. His father and mother were newspaper man and woman, so were his brother and his sister. During his days as a toddler, Alvin was truly a brat; a brat who likes to steal things away from anyone, and play whatever games he could get his hands upon, even if it means stealing from other toddlers who he met along the way as his family work. His childish actions of stealing things that don't truly belong to him caused his cramped house to be filled with items that are useless for any member of his family as they don't mean a thing to them, along with the cause of being caught that they were the ones who stole the items where it weren't really their fault entirely.

As business and economy reigns supreme within the world, competitions among successful business companies were surreal to watch, yet oddly significant as they hold the true winners among the highest and most successful business companies along with their growing economy within the grasp into the world, able to do literally anything. Against these competitors whom had taken down another who oppose them, Alvin's family couldn't possibly hope to keep up against large companies whose business is entirely successful whereas their daily writing, where they are supposed to be accepted, are declined and rejected against their own will due to their economy level. Alvin's parents worked hard, hard enough that they didn't care anymore about their children, but deep within their hearts, they truly believe that leading a successful business within the world holds a place where they can finally educate their children through varying forms of most successful educations and time to be spent with their children as well, leaving Alvin to be taken care of by his sister and his brother, his sister taking the largest portion of taking Alvin within her caring whereas his brother is left with helping his sister.

As times paces forth the business of the Ryūren family wasn't working well enough despite the relentless efforts given by Alvin's parents. As Alvin stayed at home to become more to that of a brat who thought he could help his family through various forms of stealing certain items which he deemed to be beneficial whereas his sister began to join his parents into their very own little company, leaving his brother to take the deliberate action of taking care of Alvin within his younger days as a human. It was quite maddening for Alvin, but that time is where his ignorant self came to life; most of the time he wouldn't care anything about the suspension that pressures his family, but knowing a brat he is, he still preferred to steal items that he deemed as wonderful and items that could help his family, typically ending with him stealing things such as puzzles and whatnot. Seeing him grow up, it is finally time where his brother helps with his family's business, volunteering himself as a newspaper man as well.

Despite his reach, the business of the Ryūren family went downwards the moment Alvin began to step within the boundaries over his family's business. Though his family doesn't blame him of what he did, they blamed themselves for not having any proper education to educate Alvin. They knew this was the consequences they must face forward, and still tried to strive upon the business of the world as other businesses send turmoil upon Alvin's family businesses. With that, the Ryūren were known to possess such bad economical issues of which almost everyone, and to blame for that all is Alvin, which carved a deep scar upon the surface of Alvin's heart. As such, none wanted to collaborate together with Alvin nor his other family members as everyone knew that nothing is to be expected of the outcome of their business deals other than a downfall that befall them.

Against the existence of other business companies which possess far greater deals than the Ryūren family made them look insanely small. The moment Alvin realized this, he was too late; there was no going back, no undoing of what he had done that brought his family's business into something worse than ever before. Sickness bled into the family in various forms as the family had little money to sacrifice for food and medicine. It was a dire state in which supplies are scarce to them, leaving the parents to sacrifice all their food to their children.

Their dire state was forever changed into something even more dire, all for Alvin to suffer. One particular night, a Hollow, presumably one who had begun its life anew as a Hollow, invaded the Ryūren house. Whilst the parents are still working through the night, the children, Alvin in particular, sensed something rather disturbing and unnatural accompanied with some sort of strange aroma amidst the air throughout the house. It was then that the Hollow began its assault through the house, shocking the children first before the parents came to their rescue; it was indeed such a frustrating memory that Alvin kept intact, as they would have survived if Alvin awakened his powers earlier, or simply if they had enough money to protect themselves.

The Hollow began an onslaught; one by one, Alvin's family members were annihilated before his very eyes. The first one to die was his brother, and the last, who was protecting Alvin before her back was impaled through by the beast's hand, was his sister, who shed tears that fell upon the facet of Alvin's features; it was horrifying sight to see indeed. As Alvin raced through the house with the beast acknowledging its final prey, it hunted Alvin like a mad hunter hunting its prey. Through various methods, Alvin managed to survive, though with critical conditions as some of the contents of his house fell upon him through the methods he used to survive. Nevertheless, Alvin managed to outrun the Hollow by running through zigzagging routes around his house, which left the Hollow confused and left almost unaware of his presence, as Alvin ran through the streets with his clothes torn apart and his body in critical condition in addition to his hunger, Alvin succumbed to his injuries along with the hunger he had suffered through the weeks.

Upon entering back the lands of the dead, the Hollow was no more; Alvin didn't care as of to why the Hollow stopped chasing after his presence, but one thing was made clear to him: he still felt hunger upon him, a sign which shows the fact that Alvin has reiryoku. Although out of the blue, a Shinigami came to his aid, explaining the fact that souls rarely feel hunger, including the fact that the beast that devoured his family was a Hollow. At that time, the beast was busy devouring the souls of his relatives, too busy to acknowledge their existence. As much as he had suffered, the younger Alvin was transported to Soul Society through Konsō performed by the Shinigami.

Becoming a Shinigami
Awoke within a barren land left with little to no food, Alvin stayed within a particular district within the streets of Rukongai in which he was left alone.

Equipment

 * Amulet:

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. Nigh unshakable in pursuing greater levels of his skills, as aforementioned before, allows Alvin to gain a certain degree of control over his released Zanpakutō before he underwent all those training. Alvin claims that, mastery the weapon, along with the scythe itself and the wielder, are all intertwined in some sort of unbreakable pact and all are one crucial asset to achieve such victories.

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, which is quite often, 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.
 * Kodaru (下る, Descend): Rising up from the distance to end his target, Alvin leaped upwards with either Shunpo or his natural jump, both were excessively useful in what kind of situation Alvin is trapped within. If Alvin was surrounded by multiple enemies with his target being one of them, Alvin would prefer to use Shunpo, leaping above the highest of trees to ascend among his enemies. If however Alvin was left alone with his target, he would prefer to naturally jump with his leg prowess into the level of height needed in order to conduct this technique. Of course, either utilizing Shunpo or jump naturally was all under his preference and in full accordance to what kind of attack he would utilize. After ascending into the air, Alvin readies his Zanpakutō behind him, held with both hands tightly before descending down into a close enough distance to his target for his Zanpakutō to reach. By this phase his scythe is moved forward to inflict an abrupt vertical slash of severe quickness and nigh unseen movements, also through his impressive strength to act as a supplement to his slash that would inflict greater damage or to bust through shields, this technique is capable of dealing severe damages to the target allowing the target to reach the state of dying.
 * Banteki (蛮的, Barbarous): Maximizing all his strength within either of his arms and hands of which would wield his released Zanpakutō, preferrably his right as it holds much greater strength than his left, Alvin focuses all his reiatsu to augment the power of his slash before such technique was to begin with. This would give the enemy a slight opening as to when Alvin is ready to strike, exactly giving them time and a sign of warning as of to either to flee from this technique or to ready one's defenses. Through this, Alvin slashes his target within a single direction with his scythe, with the damage capable of tearing through the earth through such brute and barbaric level of strength, of which would cause a single direction in which the earth is hollow caused by the slash. When done to his target, this technique is capable of doing such devastating damages, such as being able to completely erase any trace of existing from the target as the target's body was obliterated by the slash.
 * Shinkaihēgen (深海平原, Abyssal): A technique similarly to that of the previous one, this technique maximizes all of Alvin's strength within not just a single hand, but both hands and arms, also filling both with a tremendous amount of his reiatsu, effectively causing his arms and hands to possess such distinctive purple outlines covering them as if bathed with a certain aura. With this phase done, Alvin readies his released Zanpakutō within the state of the tip of its blade pointing down, meaning the shaft was held by both hands in front of Alvin's body horizontally. As the reiatsu fills up ad ready to utilize the technique, Alvin pulls upward his scythe with tremendous force before striking down the ground with such unimaginable force and level of strength, tearing down the earth downwards into an abyssal strike to cause massive distortions within the ground surrounding Alvin, mainly such rough light earthquakes or fissures. While indirectly damaging the enemy through the ground or allowing the ground bellow the enemy fade away into nothingness thus allowing the enemy to fall down as well, this technique is mainly primed for making distractions before other greater techniques would be utilized.

Innate Abilities
Immense Spiritual Power: Noticeable from afar, Alvin boasts the amount of reiryoku needed in order to fill out his position as a captain fully in command of a Division. Its considerable amount is truly something noteworthy of one's attention along with it being a hint to those who are not used to fight him. Its massive proportions also allow Alvin to ascend into the ranks of Gotei 13 in which he holds a rather prominent role in partaking as a captain along with his reiryoku being one of the largest amount that can evenly overwhelm any number of enemies who, in general, weaker than him through relative ease. The sensation of Alvin's reiatsu is something to be feared; it gives off the uneasy and uncomfortable sensation of an ominous presence being inside one's heart, truly a mark of something others would not like to know. However, through some perspective, Alvin's reiryoku is something to be admired; back then when he was a mere sevent seat, his reiryoku was always at modest amount and insanely little compared to even a third seat. Through the varying forms of training he had done, it ultimately rose and ascend to a level in which Alvin is allowed to take the position of a captain. His reiatsu, known for its particularly ominous presence around his Division and soon other Divisions as well, is purple in color when exerted into its physical form, and engulfs all that stands near Alvin's figure, forming and solidifying itself into a rushing tower of purple torrent. As it stands tall, its presence, unlike most of which are left to do nothing but solidifying one's physical form of reiryoku, Alvin's reiatsu does something deserved to be called deadly that not many acknowledges its terrifying effect. It is a hint of the very essence of Alvin's Zanpakutō; a sign of warning to the effects of his Zanpakutō. It is its ability to abruptly release a torrent of dark purple fluids rushing to all sides as if it is a sweeping wave, which many would prefer to call it "poisonous torrent". Indeed, it is a torrent of poisonous liquid that may physically harm those around Alvin who make any forms of physical contact with it, capable of slowly burning off one's skin; though it is not that major and can be countered easily with any types of medicine possible, it still serves as a disadvantage to Alvin's enemies as such harms are done by simply his reiatsu. Truly a sign of one's ominous presence, Alvin's blue eyes are known by many to glow often whenever he exerts his reiatsu, a sign of his predatory status as a Yajū.
 * Masterful Reiatsu Control: Though indeed Alvin has a true potential in his reiryoku worth of one's notice, his reiatsu, on the other hand, before such training was to begin with and before his reiryoku rose greater, was always there to set those around his figure ablaze with such tremendous crushing force of its mere existence, along with the destructive power it holds over Alvin's poisonous Zanpakutō abilities that may harm those around him. As time paces forth along with his undergoing training that holds forth the true potential of his reiryoku, his reiatsu magnifies as well, and its mere existence truly holds the safety of its owner along with those around him within its grasp, and is able to easily crush Alvin off if kept like this forever as his mere body is not a sufficient enough to contain the entirety of his reiatsu's amount altogether. A subject to the training he has underwent, it is concluded that Alvin truly has complete control over his reiatsu and its encompassing presence. His reiatsu has become one of his greatest weapons that can truly aid him in battle without failing, a weapon that never fails Alvin in time of need. Aforementioned before, Alvin's reiatsu wields forth the power of poison as it is indeed in his nature along with his Zanpakutō's abilities, its power holds a hint to those who are unknown to his Zanpakutō, a degree of warning if one is to fight him blindly. When exerted forward with tremendous force and the needed amount, it can resonate such powerful amount of poisonous liquid that others are yet to understand of how the liquid works, but one thing is clear to those who have fought Alvin before: everything is necessary to avoid such liquid like his reiatsu manifests as its very essence is there to burn off one's skin, given enough time that the liquid is able to inject itself into one's body, truly a mighty weapon.

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.

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: An aspect which truly contradicts his past as he had no proper education by the time he was a human, Alvin however spent most of his time in his past life playing with such strategic-based games and other puzzles he could get his hands upon. His intellect wasn't truly present during his time as a human, indeed, but it simply ascends and surfaces by the time he became a plus and ascends multitudes of times as he spent his time within the educational school of Shinigami arts, allowing him to achieve such great scores in multitudes of varying theoretical tests. His intellect, while wasn't there to support the economy of his family back then, he knew it was decided upon his family that a calamity should befall forth for them, causing Alvin to not blame his intellect due to its late rising. Upon becoming a Shinigami, his nature and his intellectual mind intertwined altogether. He is there, with his intellectual mind, which allows him to think fast, overcoming many obstacles revolving around his life, not including his memory. His noticeable knowledge over many things along with his caring nature, which is not quite often to appear, allow Alvin to gain the upper hand upon any theoretical fights using tactics to avoid such techniques that not many are there to know about them. Along with his nature to not judge others but rather analyze them in accordance to the varying forms of aspects they are there to possess intertwine together to form his strategic mind, or most of the time, manipulative mind, to simply analyze the situation and the enemy or those around him and either end them briefly or to manipulate them for his own needs. It gave him the ability over such socializing skills that others are yet to notice or perceive over him, coupled with his mind enabling him the ability to gain such holds over far away memories that others are often there to forget their memories, allow him to be one to adept to one's vicinity and the people around it along with being able to find the core of one's heart and mind without many numbers there to support him, as he memorizes he very essence of one's being and can simply find something that contradicts another aspect of that particular person, allowing him to spot either a deep lie lying inside one's heart, or like Alvin's case, having multitudes of persona that simply contradict each other.

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): The physical manifestation over Alvin's inner self including his true nature all sealed within this very weapon, it is the heart of Alvin's prowess from time to time. It holds the meaning to whom Alvin truly is, and what he is like. A partner residing within Alvin's soul in battle, Alvin fully relies to his partner whenever he enters combat more than the entirety of his powers. The entity that would become Dokuga later on was reached by Alvin himself when the nameless entity was tapped through with various forms of training with Alvin, with such harmonizing times they both spent together, allowing the entity to fulfill the empty name it was given as time progressed further. Since then, Alvin's presence along with his powers were furthered by Dokuga, emblazoning the signature ominous presence among Alvin's many symbolism into the very essence of its existence. Its form was rather typical, as many would find it matching among other Zanpakutō belonging to hundreds of other Shinigami; its desired form was a katana of which would match perfectly with the entirety of its length. Its pure silver blade was still in perfect condition despite the various battles Alvin had managed to get into; a sign of which symbolizes Alvin's connection that deeply lies within Dokuga. Its hilt has taken the same form as a typical katana; bronze color was upon it the moment Dokuga was first given to Alvin, covered with purple wrappings upon it. The purple color itself is said to be a manifestation over the different shades within Alvin's true nature. What is unusual is the shape of its hilt guard: while it is in bronze color, its shape was out of the ordinary as it holds the form of an hourglass; originally derived from the shape of an octagon, cut in half evenly with both pieces rotated a hundred and eighty degrees for its facet to form together. Its shape is truly normal and typical indeed, but Alvin states otherwise; he truly believes that Dokuga is different among others as it holds a meaning nothing within all the worlds could explain, and as his powers stood currently, Dokuga would possess the size of a skyscraper, holding the proof that Alvin would match the captain levels also a manifestation over his overwhelming powers, but Alvin kept it at its modest size. Aside from that, Alvin normally sheathes it using its dark purple sheath to a specific, and a rather atypical location, which is behind his right calf facing upward in a perfect position, of which Alvin is able to simply pull it out of its sheath without having his body to move more than a little degree. The true form of Dokuga resides within Alvin's inner world, of which it has taken the form of a massive wolf, dwarfing even Alvin himself, truly a sight truly worthy to be enjoyed. The fur it holds carries a deep shade of purple matching its sheath and hilt wrapping, and its eyes match the eyes of its original partner: blood red. Razor fangs can be found situated around its mouth, of which Alvin stated to be able to shred anything, the same as its claws facing forward from its paws. Its body, as massive as it can be, is truly magnificent and muscled despite taking the form of an animal, and its tail is something truly beautiful: it does not hold a single tail, but rather nine, identical tails. Much like its partner, Dokuga's spirit is rather complicated to understand to many, but as it can only be seen by Alvin, Alvin understands it so much by simply understanding himself.
 * 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, being exactly two meters in height, 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 wider 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. The blade seems to deform quite a bit, featuring chipped edges of the inner cutting edge. The blade also features cracks; multitudes of cracks in which it is revealed to hold some sort of purple liquid. Chains connected to each other are placed on a hole situated on the back of the blade.
 * 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): Due to specific reasons, Alvin is unwillingly to reveal his Bankai to anyone, leaving him to use it if only absolutely necessary. As such, none within the Gotei 13, not even captains among ranks along with members of his Division, have ever seen his Bankai other than the Captain-Commander during Alvin's captaincy test, and even the Captain-Commander himself has not fully seen the extent of what his Bankai can do, obviously Alvin was holding back the full capabilities of what his Bankai can do. Aside from the fact that Alvin's Bankai is not fully suited for a team battle, said to be manifested from Alvin's loneliness itself, capable of not only harming his enemies severely, but also his allies, Alvin's Bankai completely sets its focus upon absolute offense, an offense that Dokuga's spirit itself warns Alvin about. Alvin himself is rather clumsy in wielding his own Bankai due to the fact that the recent achievement of the Bankai, thus when very new to the Bankai itself could lead to instant destruction if not handled correctly. The potential in wielding the Bankai is very little with such short degree of mastering it, though Alvin is capable of contacting with Dokuga's Bankai form at will. Asking advice to Dokuga regarding its Bankai form is common conscience that lies within Alvin.

As it stands, Alvin's Bankai form truly brings forth the embodiment of his ominous presence and further manifests it into the form that one may fear; upon activation, a tower comprises of pure reiatsu in mesmerizing purple hue enlarges and solidifies into one that towers all beings, into an extent of which it is able to truly destroy and demolish those who are caught within its wake. An essence of liquid of sorts began to surface forth, resonating its torrent of pure purple poison surrounding the towering reiatsu before swirling into a deep, dark purple cyclone. As his reiatsu changes into something more of which truly brings forth the essence of his presence deepened upon its formation, Alvin cuts through the cyclone for it to disperse thoroughly. With this phase done, Alvin's Bankai form would be revealed. His appearance now captures the appearance to that of a grim reaper by potential observers through varying forms of details that would allow him to be truly called ominous. The most noticeable change upon his appearance is that his missing captain's haori along with some apparent alterations that lie within his Shihakushō. He now wears a rather tight fitting form of his uniform in which matches perfectly with his lean body, its sleeves completely ripped off. It has become a rather cloak-like clothing, ending just before his ankles complete with a black hood sitting behind his neck. His hakama became tight as well, with some noticeable grey fur circling around Alvin's knees and ankles, as the same materials appear around his wrists and elbows as bangles and around his neck as what others would clearly deem as a collar. Some ripped, archaic-like clothing within the color opposing his black Shihakushō appears on his back and is draped downwards. Some may deem this clothing as no more than ornaments, but it holds a truly significant meaning, as it can assist Alvin in flight. Such significant changes upon his clothing are only to be followed by the changes of his features; his hair becomes messier than before, his eyes began to glow at the exact same color they were before, and fangs that would reflect a canine tooth appear on the sides of his mouth, one for each side. With this, his weapon does not stray at all from its original shape.
 * Bankai Special Ability: Other than the 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 former 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.
 * Kuzurekiba (崩牙, Collapse Fang):
 * Garyū (牙龍, Dragon's Fang):
 * Yūkon (幽魂, Spirits of the Dead):
 * Yogomori (夜籠り, Dead of Night):
 * Kishikaisei (起死回生, Revival of the Dead; Recovering From a Hopeless Situation):

Yajū Powers
Sky Beast (竜王 (スカイ·ビースト), Sukai Bīsuto; Japanese for "Dragon King"): As a power of which would tamper with Alvin's life along with his persona, the Yajū powers kept secret within Alvin's soul existed the moment Alvin himself was brought into existence. The powers belonging to the Yajū was inherited by his parents, however their powers were to remain a secret along as of why they didn't introduce Alvin into the world of the Yajū. This power remained within Alvin as he grew up, matured as a Yajū would, before truly unlocked and discovered by Alvin himself. It is both, in accordance to Alvin, a gift; a blessing, of which a supplementary prowess to aid his already impressive Shinigami powers within battle, yet also a curse, of which Alvin was doomed to see the death of his relatives before unlocking such prowess and knew that his parents carry the exact same powers as he does. As such, Alvin was both thankful of this gift, yet pained to use the entirety of his Yajū powers due to the fact that her parents and siblings were killed off before unlocking such precious powers that would allow him to protect his family members. However, as he matured into a man of who he actually is, Alvin started to recognize that the death of his family was part of the gift as well; an unexpected turn of events, really, of how Alvin thought of it as a curse, in spite of the fact that Alvin wouldn't be the man he currently is without the death of himself and his family, coupled with the fact that his instantaneous change of demeanor would accelerate his maturing progress. All in which was stemming from this very prowess of his, the power to turn into a beast.
 * Enhanced Spiritual Power: Despite boasting an impressive amount of reiryoku just before possessing and unlocking his Yajū prowess, one of the main assets of being a Yajū is the fact that one's reiryoku was augmented in order to benefit the transformation process coupled with the maturing process. ReiatsuPurple1.PNG has a cunning aura, of which would allow Alvin to boast such powerful amount whenever he activates the transformation of becoming a Yajū. It was then that he realized that such power was more than a mere gift; it was truly a blessing that acts as a supplementary element to his natural physique and prowess. His now more beast-like reiryoku would spike in such unexpected and unspeakable times, of which would when pain struck Alvin; the sudden spike of reiryoku allows Alvin to instantly transform into his beast form, signifying the fact that his power was done recharging and was allowed to activate once more. However, it would drain itself in times after moments of use of his powers. And of course, the enhancement of reiryoku would also mean the enhancement of reiatsu; the enhancement of which allowed Alvin to look more to a person with a beast-like demeanor living within him. His blue eyes would shine brightly and reflect the likes of a predator's eyes that shine in the midst of darkness, though this sign was also signified whenever Alvin enters his Bankai state. The sudden spike of reiryoku is signified by the sudden spike of reiatsu as well, with Alvin instantly exerting his reiatsu within its massive form in the shape of torrential rain of lavender and dark purple hue surrounding them, and act of which would match perfectly with the powers of his Zanpakutō to manipulate poisonous fluids seemingly like the rain of his reiatsu.
 * Inhuman Instincts: One of the greatest assets of which became Alvin's primary means to locate his preys, his Yajū powers unlocked some rather unnatural and inhuman instincts, apparently belonging to those of predators. Though his human appearance would fool anyone, Alvin's inhuman instincts would activate whenever he is within the midst of a battle, any type of battle, regardless of it being swift, or a prominent one. Coupled with his intellectual nature, Alvin has become one of the most dangerous enemies using the combination of his strategic intellect along with his instincts; Alvin would know when to activate his prowess in battle, and use it to turn the tides within such battles that he surely cannot win from. Through this, he was able to ensure his victories. However, as an unnatural side effect from using this augmentation too much would cause Alvin's ears to reflect tiger-like in appearance; a trait of which would become perpetual if this inhuman augmentation was to be abused with. By this limitation Alvin has set his prowess to activate whenever he is in battle. His instincts will allow Alvin to become not just aware of his surroundings, but aware of whatever is within the boundaries of his vicinity; leaving him unable to ambush. However, through such trickery of other Yajū creatures, Alvin's instincts can be deteriorated with through relative ease, making his senses unable to do their actions right, or unable to track movements in the wild fast enough.
