Mark Yamaguchiya

Mark Yamaguchiya is one of Magnum Solis' servants and his favourite. He is also one of the main antagonists of my upcoming fanon chapter "Bleach: A Midnight to Remember".

Appearance
He is a tall, thin and muscular young man with narrowed brown eyes. He wears his messy hair's fringe almost hiding his upper face. He never really smiles. He dons a white shirt and a blue tie and black pants with brown shoes. He is usually seen carrying a book.

Personality
He is a silent and cold person that is very collected in what he does. He likes Japanese literature and poems. His blank face shows a cold-hearted person, who has an unemotional aproach to battle.

His loyalty and personality are difficult to discern, because he is a polite, helpful man with a dry sense of humour. He enjoys playing mind games with his enemies, often unnerving them by pointing out their weaknesses and turning personal horrors against them. Despite this, he seems to have a hard time tolerating rudeness, indicated by his frequent admonishments of his enemies for not treating Naizen with respect. Naizen also seems to have a hard time determining Mark's thoughts at times, as seen when he orders him to sabotage the tournament, and wonders if perhaps he will kill the contestants instead, even giving hints that now would be an opportune time to halt his plans. Even in this instance, Naizen has great confidence in Mark's loyalty, often laughing at the prospect that he would betray him.

Equipment
Japanese Poetry Notebook: Mark keeps his book by his side, since it is his source of power. It's an old book, almost torn apart, that is full of bookmarks and strings sinalizing the pages and with notes written in red color, indicating each poem's effect. He almost decorated all of them.

Powers and Abilities
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: As Naizen Fujimaru's (Magnum Solis) right arm, Mark is highly skilled in the swordsman arts, showing ease in fighting against Captain-level Shinigami, as well as some finalists in the tournament. He was able to block aerial attacks without looking, saying that a mere shadow and his fast reflexes were enough to fight even kendō.

Keen Intellect: One of him most remarkable atributs and obvious one is his ability to strategize quickly, thinking of several backup plans and "flawless" strategies. He uses every mean available and possible to find a way of gaining the upper hand, stating that "What matters that you attack and injure the enemy as many times you want, knowing your strategy will end up killing you? I can win without attacking you!".

Spiritual Power: Mark has enough spiritual power to see Shinigami and to hold on a fight for a long time, although the relative amount is unknown.

Enhanced Speed: He showed to have amazing speed, even surpassing his master's. He was able to be so fast, his weight wasn't felt for the first mere seconds of a teleportation, as shown when he showed up in one's head.

Fullbring
Death Note (デアトホ・ノテ, Desu Nōto): His Fullbring manifests itself from his book, which turns into a katana with a purple handle and golden tsuba, with a grey sheath. He carries it on his hand by the sheath. The sword itself is very strong, capable of performing highly-pressurized slashes.
 * Rhyme Ressurection: By reciting a poem from his book, he is able to turn words into reality. The harder to decorate the poem, the stronger is the slash and the effect. Also, when reciting it, the blade from the sword gains carved kanji of the poem. Although he has this ability, he can use the sword as a regular weapon.
