--------------------------------------

Birth Name: Darius Spencer
Character Aliases: The Prince
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Birth Date: July 10th
Rank Status: Stern Ritter

Vandenreich Epithet: B for the Beheading

Appearance: The Quincy known as Darius can best be described as ruggedly handsome. Standing at 6'3” he is quite tall in respect to many of the other Stern Ritter. He has a decently wide nose with a strong and broad jaw bone. His eyes are hazel, and above them can be seen high pronounced eye brown bones. Along the sides of his face can be seen high rather high cheekbones and underneath can be found some dark black beard stubble. His hair can often be found in a styled form of well kept locks which come down to just below his traps.

His frame is rather muscular from all his years of training. His biceps and pecs are well developed while his abs and traps are shredded and symmetrical. Also being a classically trained boxer, he has a very thick torso with a leaner lower half. His thighs are decently muscular while his calves and hamstrings are developed enough so that he can fight for long periods of time without getting shin splints.

When walking around town with friends or otherwise neglecting his Quincy duties, he can be seen wearing some form of denim jean in a loose fit style. On his feet can be seen a fresh pair of sneakers which will typically be color coordinated to some form of top depending on the weather. He has a slight disposition toward wearing Hoodies, but also loves leather jackets and other designer outerwear. Being a massive fan of Dance hall and other urban styles of music, Darius models much of his fashion of the styles associated with his music tastes.

While on duty, Darius can be found wearing the traditional Sternritter regalia. A white and blue German long suit with a pair of white and blue loafers. A top this can be found a long white scouting shall lined a light blue silk. Along his wrists can be found two bracelets which are white with a light blue cross which is positioned above the center of the underside of each wrist. Along the his right for arm just behind the white bracelet can be found a small Quincy pentacle made of silver and elements of white gold and Tungsten.

Personality: A man so hurt that he chooses to not let anyone get close to him. The Sternritter B is a man who has only one passion. The only place his heart lies is with the Quincy as well as the hope that one day the life of the one who killed him mother will come to an end. When around others, he can often seem cheerful or even happy however, deep inside of his heart he is truly depressed. He still has not truly gotten over the loss of his mother and in so, can be rather sensitive at times. However, he does not let this get in the way of his duties and always stands at the ready to dispense justice where it is due. Do not let the sensitivity fool you, he is not a man anyone would wish to cross and he intends to back up the hype surrounding his abilities. Passionate, caring, and strong willed.

even thought he is a slight pushover by nature, he has a will and determination found in few. He is willing to lay down his life at any moment without hesitation. He is also a master of technique as well as a strategic genius. With this in mind he is quite the formidable opponent mentally for even the strongest of opponents. Even though he has great courage and mental determination he is also very delicate. He is capable of taking criticism to a point before he becomes upset. Also, because of the effects of his loss on his emotional state, he can be made depressed rather easily. He is also far to forgiving of things than others.

As for Hollows, Darius originally started his Quincy training like most warriors, under the impression that all Hollows are to be eliminated. For many years he would go to the length of slaughtering them in the most brutal method possible, with each acting as some sort of display of strength or superiority. It was not until he befriended a Hollow that he learned to recognize them as being more then just arrow food and pests. Now, he sees the Hollows as just being a highly misguided and mismanaged group of beings who under the proper leader, could prove to be quite the amazing ally in the fight against the Shinigami.

While interacting with other Quincy, Darius can best be regarded as distant. Not sharing the kinship of early training with others or, with having a sense of nostalgic pride with the location of the Vandereich Castle. The young Quincy chooses to keep to himself and truly only likes interacting with the one who has replaced his late grandfather. This does not however mean that upon interacting with him others will not learn to accept him into their fold and the same goes for those Darius has met as of late. On the field of battle, he would still lay down his life for any Quincy do to their ties of blood and relational ancestry.

He fights for many different reasons however, he fights mainly for the preservation of both Quincy and human life. He believes fighting is capable of teaching people lessons they could learn no other way. He also fights in the hopes that one day through his many advances to the Quincy as well as his leadership capabilities, he will be able to bring peace to the Quincy truly allowing their wounds to heal.

Once Upon A Time

History: Darius Spencer was born on July 10th 1988, at Santa Helena Hospital in Kingston Jamaica. Born the only child to the current Prime Minister of Jamaica, Victor Spencer and a full blooded Quincy named Helba Steinvetter; the young Quincy was born into a life of privilege and wealth. It was always only the best for Darius, and this mindset has continued on even into this day with his parents often spoiling him beyond measure. In light of all this spoiling, the boy was still raised to be polite and to speak well of others and in turn the boy’s disposition remained that of a child who is easily satisfied and well mannered.

At the age of five, the time had finally come for his mother to begin his Quincy teachings. The boy was raised on stories of the Legendary warriors known as “Quincy” and had by then and had a great deal of pride instilled into him with him often wanting to play “Quincy”. His lessons were simple in the beginning and slowly over the years evolved into more and more difficult tasks. At the age of seven, he was able to form his first bow. The focai for his bow was a small silver cross given to him by his mother that he could focus his Reishi concentration through. The bow’s initial form was week and untamed yet, at his tender age could serve as a weapon in the defense of humans against the hollow threat, if the need arose.

Shortly after forming his first bow, it was then time for the Young boy’s skills to be tested. Using a special device known as “Hollow Bait”, his mother ordered the boy to slay as many hollows as he could for a ten minute period. At first the boy was nervous and even scared, but after firing his first arrow and realizing his own strength he began to slay them with an intense sense of volition At the end of it all the boy had managed to slay over one hundred hollows over the course of the time limit and with a number that high his mother finally recognized the boy as a full-fledged Quincy.

Finally being accepted as a Quincy, Darius would make it his mission to slay as many hollows as possible. His schedule revolved around school, training, and hollow hunting. His father back then was nothing more than the mayor of Kingston, therefore he and his mother were free to keep the streets of Kingston safe from hollows. Everything seemed wonderful and as if he lived a fairy tale until Soul Society had begun to take notice of the boy and his mother. The boy now at the age of ten was in for a massive dose of reality when the Soul Society sent a captain to deal with the boy and his mother.
It was late in the summer and the night air was thin and warm. Darius and his mother were on their return home after a quick trip to the local creamery for some well deserved frozen treats. As if from the ether, the young boy could feel a massive reiatsu bare down on him. The air had suddenly become thick and suffocating; the boy’s small body hit the ground as he gasped for what air he could manage to intake. His mother on the other hand, took to addressing the threat directly.

Without warning or hesitation, her Quincy pentacle would light up as her bow took form and the combat had begun.
For Darius, it was like watching an action movie unfold in front of his eyes. He knew his mother was strong but never had an inclination of the slightest as to how strong. Her movements were graceful and deep within Darius welled up a pride unlike anything he ever experienced before. His feelings of initial surprise and worry were changing to feelings of excitement at the Baroque edification of skill before him. It would seem as though his mother had the upper hand, until the man who was fighting his mother said the words he will never forget, “Ban…Kai”.

With that single came a massive flash of light. The illumination was so bright it blocked out the view of his mother and the man’s combat. Unfortunately, the young Darius tried to hold out for as long as he could yet he eventually succumb to the intense reiatsu pressure being exerted from the Shinigami's Bankai. Just before that flash of light, would be the last time Darius was to see his mother alive. As the boy had regained consciousness, he was welcomed with the most horrifying site he had seen to date. His mother lay in a pool of her own blood as the man who slew her could be seen walking off, the image of the number eleven on his back being burned into his memory forever. The man would stop for moment to address the young Darius before taking his leave. “ Do not follow in this Woman’s footsteps..or you too shall fall to my blade…”

The words resonated through his mind for quite a while after the passing of his mother. His father, never having truly accepted the events that occurred, sent Darius to live with his Maternal Grandmother in Germany. At first the adjustment was hard yet after some time he grew used to the harsher way of life. The young boy’s days were filled with school and training. This would go on for another five years until just shortly after Darius’ fifteenth birthday. On that day, Darius was to begin the actions which would lead to his destiny.

Darius now fifteen and quite the established Quincy warrior, was charged with the task of defending the village of Nurburgh. A place known for its race track as well as the skilled drivers who share lineage with that area. Darius having been trained for so well and so long was quite the skilled archer. He could dispatch even Menos Grande with nothing more than a few well placed arrows from his bow. He felt as though he was on top of the world, even during the normal everyday portion of his life, school was fun and easy and he managed to make lots of friends. However, all of these things still did not make up for the loss of his mother who deep down inside he grieved her for deeply.

The next few years came and went and with time came healing. He had managed to maintain a decent social life all through school and had even placed into a well to do college. Darius was a second year college student at Oxford studying to become a doctor when he was presented with an option by grandmother he wasn’t expecting. For his entire life he had always assumed his grandfather had passed sometime before he was born; his grandmother informed his otherwise and offered him the opportunity to meet him. After deliberating for some time, Darius chose to meet with his grandfather.

After traveling for two days by train, car, boat, and plane. Ge finally arrived at what appeared to be a massive castle like crystalline structure. Upon arrival, he was greeted by two men wearing the traditional Quincy garb his mother and grandmother engrained into his head. He simply smiled at them bowing politely as they lead up into the massive castle. As he walked he thought; he knew he was a Quincy and so was his mother however, he was not informed of this place or even the existence of other Quincy outside of his family. After entrancing himself in thought, he startled back to reality and he was no standing before a man seated on a giant throne. Around him could be seen many others wearing traditional Quincy garb. “Welcome home my child….my name is Augustus Steinvetter…I am your grandfather..you may call me anything you wish however, the ones around you address me as his Majesty or A for The Alpha “

Darius bowed instantly to the man before him. He was so delighted to finally meet his grandfather that he could hardly keep back the tears from rolling down the sides of his face. “Dry your eyes child…for we have work to do..”Darius stood up and was immediately directed to his grandfather’s private chambers. As he entered, his grandfather sat him down before a large desk situated in the back of the room. There, his grandfather explained the purpose behind his absence and the why behind his absence. “I would have reached out to you sooner but, your mother chose to walk a different path when I attempted to make her the new Alpha…” Darius slumped back in chair for a moment before rising up. “Where are you going?” His grandfather asked as Darius walked out towards the main hall from whence he came. “You want me to be the A who replaces you…I will need to get stronger…” His grandfather simply smirked for a moment as he bowed lightly in agreement.

Darius had begun his training. His regiment involved everything from training his archery skills to his reiatsu based skills. As each day went by he was getting stronger and stronger. After two more years of intense training, he would come into the knowledge of his Vollstandig. With the coming of his Vollstandig came a position within the Sternritter. Due to the nature of his Vollstandig he was awarded the initial designation of D for Damning the Soul. As D, he was charged with the task of slaying any hollows who could pose a threat on earth to any of the Soldats stationed throughout the planet. As a strong escalation point he would see to the quick demise of any hollows foolish enough to challenge mankind.

During this time assisting the Soldats, Darius focused on training and Menos Suppression. It would take a special kind of hollow to draw the skill out of Darius and in so he searched high and low for one that might be able to. After six months of searching he met his challenge in the form of a Menos Grande he caught visiting the world of the living. It was unlike any hollow he had fought before, and after four hours of fighting and most of the rural village of Buanyase in New Guinea destroyed, the two decided to call it quites.

That would not be the first time the two would battle. The two would meet each other every few weeks in a random part on the planet almost as if the two had a linked destiny. After several confrontations, Darius had begun to ask the hollow questions as they fought and the two slowly over time grew to become friends. The contests of strength had now become contests of wit, jokes, and the sharing of earthly delights such as music and entertainment. The prejudice towards hollows the Quincy way instilled in him had finally eroded.

After three long years of training and duty, Darius made his way back to England. Thanks to taking classes over the summer and increasing his class load during each normal semester, he was able to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering. During this time, he also discovered he had a slight disposition toward Boxing. Originally starting as a work out regiment, the young Quincy had begun to learn to love the sport. After months of training and working at his craft, he was participated in a series of local boxing tournaments. After attaining a record of fifteen wins and zero loses, he was accepted onto the British national Boxing team.

As a valued member of the German team, he went on to win Germany gold in boxing at the next Olympics. Now an Olympic champion and after a small amount of deliberation, he decided that it was finally time to return home to Jamaica to show his father his accomplishments. He hadn’t spoken to his father in over a decade but knew he would need to speak with him to find closure over everything that happened with his mother.

Upon landing in Kingston, he was quick to discover that his father had not only gotten over the loss of his mother, but had become the Prime Minister of Jamaica. The tabloids were calling Darius “The Prodigal Son “, and in many ways he was. After meeting with his father the two reestablished a bond. His father was so proud of him that he had a new street named after him. After having returned home for several days, Darius went back to the spot where his mother was slain. The anger he had bottled up for so long finally swelled up within him. That was the moment that Darius decided he was going to destroy soul society and kill the Shinigami who slayed his mother all those years ago.

Darius, while away from the Vandereich took some time out to do research on the Shinigami. Over the next two years he learned as much as he could about his soon to be foe, he learned that the coat with the number on the back indicated that the person was captain in particular the captain of the 11th squad. He also learned of Soul Societies structure. Much of the information came from the guardian Shinigami assigned to the towns he passed through. Some gave up the information willingly while others had to lose their lives in the process. After collecting data and touring for another year he received a message from the Vandereich indicating that his grandfather had passed and do to his absence he abdicated his spot as heir to the throne.

Finally having the information he needed, Darius made his way back to the Vandereich. Now, having returned from his long time away he has been given the designation of “B for the Beheading” after his strength and power was reevaluated by the new A. Now Darius seeks to make his way to Soul Society to finally give the man who killed his mother the righteous coupe de grace he feels they deserve.

As long as you don't know everything in detail, like were select divisions are and whatnot, I'm fine with this. If it becomes an issue in RP and borderlines meta-gaming, it's gone. Agreed, Olympic champ?

I have edited the personality to include some extra details. Good point, I figured he wouldn't know much other then the basics such as how many squads and captains and how the basic structure works. Such as the fact there is a Seireitei and Rukongai...the basics any soul would know or any academy student might know.
