Age: 336

Personality: Seraph's personality can be described as cold and ruthless, though not completely. He is not one to be anti-social, and is known to make friends with his colleagues, and become loyal to them. However his attitude is grim to those he has no loyalty to, causing people to be turned away based on this personality trait. Seraph is intelligent and respect those he considers worthy of respect, such as the Espada or the Espada's Fraccion. Seraph tries to maintain a professional demeanor, but he is known to show dry humor to those he is loyal and friendly to.
At times he can be arrogant and over confident in his abilities, but for the most part corrects himself with a nice glass of reality. For the most part he is well spoken and even forgiving at times. Seraph sometimes becomes frustrated and loses his guard, but is usually calm and collected. Seraph is always in a state of mild sorrow, but due to the fact that he experienced it ever since becoming hollow, sorrow has dissolved into his overall personality. It is not rare to find Seraph with a face that reflects heavy sorrow, with drooping eyes and an ever present frown despite his true feelings.
During battle, his sorrowful expression is nowhere to be seen, no matter what the situation. Seraph enjoys battle, no matter who he is against. He often knows when he is outmatched, and even more so when he outmatches an opponent. Depending on either of these will he change is strategy from going all out, to holding back to produce maximum pleasure from his fights.
Physical Appearance:- Spoiler:
Seraph is often, if not always, seen wearing a long black coat that reach all the way down to his ankles. Silver colored pauldrons cover his shoulders, but oddly no pieces of his mask are visible on his face. These are actually the shoulder pauldrons that cover his shoulder. These remnants of his hollow mask are hard enough to protect Seraph from shoulder strikes, should it even occur. The top of the coat is open, revealing his sculpted chest and his hollow hole, located in the center of his chest with a diameter of 3 inches. His hollow hole however is covered by black leather suspenders that cross in front of the hole underneath his coat.
His hair is Silver in color and very long with bangs that are parted to the sides of his face. His eyes are green and have the appearance similar to a cat's eyes. He has a fair complexion that matches his silver hair. Also as noted in his personality he wears, naturally, a face of sorrow despite his true feelings. A slight frown is ever present on his face, unless in battle, and his eyes are usually half closed as if to keep from weeping. It is not rare to find him with his back hunched and his head drooped downward.
Bio: Human Life:
Seraph was born in the English colony of Boston in the New World on December 18, 1677. His parents were both brick masons and often left him to the care of his older First cousin, Alicia Gustaf. The two grew up to be great friends and were often seen in public together. His parents would die when Seraph turned 10, from a case of small pox. How they caught the disease was unknown to Seraph or his cousin, but maybe this was because he couldn't yet see the numerous spirits, both whole and hollow, that lived among Boston. During throughout Early American history, it has been a haven for hollows. The Aztecs and their multitudes of human sacrifices to the gods lured the Hollows in. The hollows would consume these sacrifices' souls, and in return left the Aztecs to their own devices. However the arrival of the Spanish ruined the Aztecs, so the mass hordes of hollows dispersed to many other Northern, Central, and Southern American settlements.
Of course some of the Hollows found their home at Boston, preying on the dead or dying, and even causing some of the deaths of the Boston populace like Seraph's parents. Seraph would never find out what happen to his parents, even when he himself becomes hollow at the age of 20 when he to died of small pox.
Hollow Life:
Seraph became a hollow on new years day, 1697. When becoming hollow, his mind could not take the transition, and lost all his memories. Seraph had become feral, feasting on many souls within the span of a hundred years due to the American Revolutionary war. After the war, souls became rarer than they were during the war due to Shinigami arriving in time to pass them on. Soon the multitudes of Hollow inside the United States Dispersed to the rest to other parts of the world. Seraph himself would go to Europe, where wars and souls were plentiful and ripe for the taking.
Small wars satisfied him barely, until he became more powerful due to his "Eating habits". When Napoleon's push to Russia started, Seraph followed close behind, collecting the souls of the recent dead. However Napoleon's invasion would be unsuccessful because of the Russian winter and heavy losses. The French turned back, but Seraph did not. Seraph had entered a state of calmness and intelligence he had not experienced since being human. He wondered why he had did what he did, why consume multitudes of innocent an not so innocent souls. He wondered slowly east, through the frozen wastelands for two years in deep thought, debating the fate of the rest of his hollow life. Should he punish himself for his crimes, or should he give in to the hollow inside of him? After two years of thought he decided. He decided to punish the hollow within him.
His wanderings had brought him to China's doorstep, the Great Wall. Upon that Great Wall he began to tear his mask off with his painful and sorrowful screams and screeches tormenting any who were spiritual sensitive in the nation the wall protected. He manage to collect his hollow self and sealed it, creating his Zanpakutō. However, unlike most Arrancars, Seraph stored the Zanpakutō within his soul and trained himself to summon it to his hands and dismiss it at will.
Upon transition from hollow to arrancar, Seraph lost all his memory of events before the end of the Napoleonic wars. Having lost his memory he assumed the name of Seraph, a name that Hollows commonly referred to him by. He wandered east into Japan, feeling strong and powerful presences there. At the time he arrived, Japan had finally started to industrialize, and in turn, expand. He took no part of the expansiveness that Japan was consumed with but rather, lived among the citizens day to day as he tried to figure out his purpose and possibly his past memories. By the time World War II came about, Seraph helped save several citizens of Tokyo from U.S. bombings. Near the end of the war, he could only watch in horror from a distance as Hiroshima and Nagasaki were burned to the ground with nuclear weapons. The best he could do was make sure, anonymously of course, that Shinigami found those poor souls and passed them on. Years would pass, and he would go in to dormancy for 60 years. Three years ago he awoke with wonder with the changing world. His discovery of the Espada and Sins have left him cautious. He respects both because of their power, but felt it unnecessary to join them. Deep down however it is because he feels unworthy to serve such a group, but he doesn't know why he feels this way. He went into dormancy once more for two more years until current events woke him again.

Sealed form: Abyss in it's sealed form is basically a katana with a length of eight feet. Its Hilt color is a navy blue and its hilt guard is a gold color. The sheath to his Zanpakutō is rarely seen, but is a plain, solid black color. Seraph is able to convert his Zanpakutō into pure energy to store it within himself. He is able to summon it and dismiss it at will.
Resurrección: Changes to the sword's appearance is slight. The only thing that is different about the sword is the hilt. Both the hilt and the hilt gaurd is solid black during his Resurrección.

His aura becomes a black color and forms the outline of five more wings on his back with three on each side, fulfilling his name as Seraph.
Call out phrase: "Fall into the shadows"
Ability: The control over the element fire offensively either to augment his sword strikes, or to create fire based energy attacks.
Techniques: Flame Blitz: Seraph causes flames to run down his sword and then performs a series of six quick slashes. These can be combined with a Sonida to make his series of slashes much quicker. Due to the nature of the attack, the attack has no charging period, but has a cooldown of one post without the sonida and 2 posts with the sonida.
Flare: Similar to Bala and perhaps Cero, Seraph charges a ball of orange energy in his hand and fires it at the enemy. Once within a six foot radius The ball of energy splits into six other balls of energy and begins to surround and circle the enemy. With a downward motion of his sword the balls of energy embed themselves into the ground. With an upward motion a great pillar of fire is charged underneath the enemy's feet. The pillar of fire is around 12 feet in diameter and would travel upward to consume the enemy. Due to the extensive nature because the steps needed for the attack, many opportunities would be given for the enemy to dodge or prevent the attack.
The steps are broken down below and take one turn each to perform unless stated otherwise:
1):Charging- takes around 2 posts. Can still fight while charging but cannot use any other technique.
2):Firing: Firing the ball of energy and it splitting/embedding into the ground takes one post
3) Boom: The pillar of fire firing takes one post.
This attack can only be used once a thread.
