The Russian Bear 2.0 (Supposed to be Tier 0)

[lotus]

Name: Alexander Cristo
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Personality:

Alexander is a serious man. Highly religious, may be seen quoting the bible at times. He hates people slacking off and he hates people joking around. He is a to the point kind of person. Bluntly honest, and does not lie. If he cant tell you then he just wont tell you. His personality is cold and heartless. He could careless for those around him and wouldn't even notice if they all were slaughtered infront of him during a mission. He will complete him mission despite what it might be or what he must do. He plans for the worst case scenarios and never gives out an once of hope. He has no hesistation when it comes to pulling the trigger to end someone or somethings life. However he is not proud of his kills, he does not walk around bragging about it and showing off tropheys. He is the strong silent type. Obstucles he cant get past, he goes through. He typically is deployed as a solo unit and thus has no people skills at all. He has been trained to show no fear, fell no pain, and to do as ordered no matter what. He is the ideal solider. He feels that his works under god now, and that god sent him the one he works for. However over time he has opened up a little to a few people but is still highly socially awkward around people, especially women. He is an easy blusher and very socially inept.

Appearance:

Eye Color: Green. Hair color/cut: brown hair in a buzz cut fashion. He wears a cameo vest and pants with a white shirt underneith the vest. On both sides are the old issued spetsnaz gun holders with the quick use design function. These allow him to push straight down to draw his gun and while going down the case turns off the safety and cocks the gun for him all at once. On his back is a Barret 50. Calliber sniper rifle with a 3 scope set up. One scope is thermal, one is medium range scope with a good zoom in, while the other is a long range scope with a powerful zoom in allowing him to be on a mountain near a city and snipe a target in the city. He has a scar on his left cheek and the knuckles on his fist are augmented so the bones point out like spikes.

Origin of Power:

It is included in background

Special Abilities:

Masksmanship, weapon specialist, hand to hand specialist. Basically to sum it all up and save time, trained to be a Russian Spec Ops soldier.
Also on him:
He has his guns as previously mentioned but they have no special abilities at all. The bullets however are made from melted down enemy zanpaktou allowing them to harm shinigami and hollows.

Powers First Stage:

This is a constantly active ability. His physical strength and speed are off the charts. He has the ability to shatter buildings with a single punch and his normal running speed is the blur technique. His bones and skin have hardened due to his strength and speed to adjust to him punching a wall so the bones in his hand do not shatter. His skinned is hardened so he can block a sword with his forearm. However his forearms, hands, knees, and feet are the only things strong enough not to get cut. His shoulders, chest. neck, and face are easily diceable. Just so this is clear he is a tank. He is set up so his punchs and kicks shatter your bones and break your will. On a normal human one of his strongest punchs would punch a hole right through them. However he is not fighting normal humans he is fighting shinigami and hollow. Weaker shinigami get sent flying with multiple broken bones while normal hollows masks are shattered. A close relation to his strength and speed are that of arrancar. He could go into a knock-down drag out fist fight with an arrancar and stand a good chance of winning.

Powers Second Stage:

His skin becomes coated in a metallic like substance that covers all of his body. This metallic like substance is under his complete control allowing his full mobility instead of him being the rusty tin man off of the wizard of oz. This metallic substance is a defensive item more then offensive however. It is stronger enough to hold off zanpaktou strikes and is his ultimate defense. (Been watching greed off of full metal alchiemest to much recently) However a trade off on this defense is his speed decreases. He can still run and move at a good pace but the metallic substance slows him down to the point where he cant move at the speed of a flash step. His punching and kicking power however are still off the charts and when it comes to combat reflexs and the such his body is not slowed at all.

So basically: Trade off of speed for defense. This form btw is not commonly used.

History/Background:

Alexander is a pure-blooded Russian. His family had always served in the Russian military even all the way back to the time of the Spetsnaz soldiers. War was in his blood and it was what he knew. His father trained him to fight like a spetsnaz solider as soon as he could crawl. He was trained like his father was, and his grandfather, and so on and so forth as in a tradition in the Cristo household. Alexander never cared much for friends while growing up he went home and trained and trained. He was taught multiple forms of martial arts and survival skills. At the age of 7 was when he started training his marksmanship. By the age of 12 he could hit a bullseye every shot without even trying. His father had made him merciless by teaching him not to care for those he killed. He did this by making Cristo kill animals, especially family pets because his father knew it would make him become more emotionally numb and distant. Upon turning 17 after having mastered multiple martial art styles, survival skills, and such he joined the military. His unit was dispatched into a city with the intent of finding a traitor and terminating him. During the mission however a group of hollows attacked and slaughtered everyone in the both the town and his unit. He was the only one left standing. Shooting the beasts didn't work, and he knew at the speed they killed all of them that wouldn't work either. Suddenly he felt a warm glow from inside of him and felt his muscles bulge. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew he was not going to die here. He ran at the hollow, but passed it. The ground he had tread upon shattered behind him from the speed he had moved at. When one of the hollows jumped at him and he swung at it, it shattered right there. His fist kept going and hit a building and reduced it to nothing but rubble. This was the only time he had lost his cool, his body was strange and acting insane. He ended up passing out on the battlefield...Shinigami showed up in time to save him and kill the hollow but he didn't know about that. When he returned to base the doctors checked him over and couldn't figure out what had happened. They explained to him his new speed and strength and that he would need to learn to master it. They also decided to put him under surgery to augment the bones and made them spiked so they would be more powerful when he punched. He was a russian soldier he would not go against his officers orders. However when they dispatched him and again the hollows showed up he knew how to control his powers, but only partially. He fought off the hollows but destroyed the entire town. With so much destruction the russian military decided to relieve him of his duty. Now on his own he wanders around doing as he pleases. He has already slain many shinigami and hollows without care for which they are. Something above human that can fight with him is a target. He has taken their weapons, body parts, and ect. as trophies or made weapons out of them.
