Name: Ryuunosuke Miyamoto / Askeladden Richter Heidrich
Title: Der Kaiser Zerstorung (The Emperor of Destruction, a name he inherited from his father who in turn inherited it from his father. Often shortened simply to Der Kaiser.)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Class: Quincy
Affiliation: Fushicho Academy
Rank: Student
Description:
He's sexy and he knows it.
Ryuunosuke stands at exactly 6'0” having just gone through a growth spurt, though not skinny he is of a trim build due to his focus on speed and agility above raw physical strength, though he is somewhat broad of shoulder for his overall build. (Of course the fact that he's taken to wearing a mantle usually accentuates this quality even further.) If his skin tone were not enough, then his dirty blonde hair betrays his European heritage more than anything, he wears it long down to the back of his neck with his bangs combed to either side of his face and a much longer few locks of hair on his left side which drape down to his shoulder. His rather outlandish hair and understated facial features often lead people to mistake him for being much weaker than he is, but it would normally only take one look into his intense slate grey eyes to right that assumption.
Though he has few notable scars there is a very prominent one above his left pectoral running up at a diagonal towards his left shoulder, this he received from the Arrancar who slew his mother.
Ryuunosuke's usual civilian attire is a shirt and tie (often with the sleeves rolled up close to or past his elbow) along with trousers and dress shoes both of which he usually opts for in light shades, white being the most regular.
As for his 'working' attire it too is composed of white shoes and trousers above which he wears a white vest with a gold trim decorated with a golden Cross of Santiago which runs along the center of the garment matching the placement of its zip. He also wears a belt, the buckle of which is a Quincy pentacle and on which he stores Ginto tubes and Seele Schneiders. Over his vest he wears a longcoat similarly trimmed in gold and sporting a long mantle which falls nearly to his elbow.
He wears his Quincy Cross on his left wrist attached to a ten decade silver rosary.
Faceclaim: Asura Cryin – Reishiro Saeki
Personality:
Generally stern and often-times somewhat stoic, but generally amicable, Ryuunosuke is an upstanding youth whose most pressing desire is to protect the world from the scourge of the Hollow menace. Being that his family was originally from Karakura Town and that his mother fell victim to an Arrancar attack he has a deep empathy for those who have suffered due to the denizens of Hueco Mundo. It is this empathy along with the promise of power which initially drew him to Fushicho Academy as he found the idea of all humans, not just Quincy, standing up on their own against the threats of the spirit world to be an uplifting and inspiring concept.
He makes a great deal of his Quincy's Pride, it serves as the rationale for many of his actions and he rarely offers reasoning beyond that, stating that if someone doesn't understand then they never would. From what little he does let on it is clear that his honour as a Quincy binds him to a strict code of ethics and chivalry, as such he feels some conflict in having to face off against women, children or even the elderly in some cases. In addition he takes his word very seriously, considering a promise once made to be a binding ironclad covenant and even in the face of extreme hardship he will rarely go back on it. His sense of honour, chivalry and admittedly somewhat backwards views on gender politics often lead people to think of him as being a little out of place in the modern world.
Though as a Quincy he holds a good deal of mistrust and animosity towards Shinigami, he has no particular problem with them personally and is willing to work with them towards a common goal even though he would really rather not.
Though he is a lapsed Catholic Ryuunosuke still holds some degree of faith and has a habit of bidding an opponent a final farewell as he defeats them, usually offering them the final farewell of 'rest in peace. Most often he says so in Japanese ('Yasurakani nemure') but depending on his opponent he has been seen to speak a few different languages hinting that he is at least somewhat multilingual. He sometimes also quotes short passages of scripture before or during battle, usually as a counter to some argument of his opponent or as a means of intimidation, a personal favourite being 'Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.'

Abilities
Hirenkyaku
Soul Link: Tier One
Ginto Techs 1-20
Soul Weapon: Quincy Bow
Bow Name: Kachoufuugetsu {The Beauties of Nature (Lit: Flower Bird Wind and Moon)}
Description
Kachoufuugetsu takes the form of a yumi bow taller than Ryuunosuke himself, it naturally towers above his head when held in a firing position. Being that is his first spirit bow it has no corporeal presence, rather it is formed of compressed spirit particles which still maintain their natural appearance, Ryuunosuke's reiryoku gives the bow an azure blue colouration.
Cross Focus:
For generations the Quincy of the Heidrich family have used the Cross of St James as a focus for their Spirit Bows, though the cross has always carried the connotation of being a 'warrior's cross' for the Heidrich family and the Quincy as a whole it holds a deeper meaning altogether which is to uphold one's Quincy Pride no matter what the cost. Ryuunosuke employs a small Cross of Santiago as the focus for his bow which he wears as part of a ten decade rosary made of soul synthesised silver.
Attacks:
Kagomata {Five Forked Flower} {Requires Nimble Finger Level 2}
An extension of a Quincy's ability to divide their spirit arrows, Kagomata splits a single arrow into five which spread out to envelop a target from separate directions. The formation as it leaves the bow bears some resemblance to a flower bud opening, giving the technique its name. Because of its form the technique is most difficult to avoid by retreating, rather it is more prudent to move forward and slip between the arrows as the centre is the only area not covered by the attack's advance.
Kagomata recieves a bonus of +10 Agility
Nakuchou {Songbird}
By charging the length of their bow with reiryoku and reishi the Quincy creates a massive 'broadhead' arrow with the appearance of a bird in flight. The 'wings' of this construct form a blade of highly condensed reishi the edge of which has a surface area of less than a micrometer. The result is more a wedge than a blade in the truest sense which is driven in between spirit particles before being pushed through by the weight of the reiryoku and reishi behind it.
Nakuchou recieves a +5 bonus to Reiryoku.
Yofuujin {Demon Wind Blades} {Requires Nimble Fingers Level 3}
Based on Blauregen, Yofuujin further divides each spirit arrow by ten, creating a storm of 1,000 tiny spirit arrows barely perceivable to the naked eye. With each visible intermittently and only briefly it would appear to an outsider as though the Quincy has fired off a cloud of some glittering dust. Each of the minuscule arrows acts as a tiny razor, stripping off the outer layer of any spirit being or object it touches making it look as though the target is being eroded by the wind.
Yofuujin is treated as having + 15 Agility and +5 Reiryoku more than Ryuunosuke.
Shingetsu {New Moon} {Requires Reishi Absorption 3}
Kachoufuugetsu's final and most powerful attack, requiring both massive amounts of energy and pinpoint accuracy. The user charges a massive amount of energy into a Seele Schneider before firing it directly into a Hollow / Arrancar's Hollow Hole or a Shinigami / Human's Saketsu. The result is a dramatic release of power incorporating not only the Quincy's energy, but also that of the target absorbed through the Seele Schneider and immediately discharged into the atmosphere. This energy forms a blinding sphere of light around the target which then implodes, crushing them under a tremendous amount of spirit energy.
Shingetsu recieves a +20 bonus to Reiryoku for the purpose of calculating attack strength and during the Letzt Stil this bonus is further expanded to +40.

History:
The Warriors Cross
The Miyamoto family, once a much larger Clan, were a group of Quincy originating in Japan who served as guardians for Temples and Way-Shrines against the threat of Hollow incursion a function from which they derived their name. Of particular not was Jinpachi Miyamoto, a Quincy and Souhei who lived during the Shinigami's purge against the Quincy. As the story goes it was one of the last battles of that conflict in which Jinpachi broke his Sanrei glove and adopted the Letzt Stil before cutting a bloody swathe through the 11th Division, although he fought valiantly the form would not last and as it began to fail him he was cut down by the then Captain of the 11th. Though he ultimately failed in his stubborn resistance against the Gotei 13, Jinpachi went down in Quincy history as a martyr to the cause and it was said of him that no Quincy before nor since has been so skilled with a blade.
Though the Heidrich family too had a distinguished history, its true glory came in the form of Ryuunosuke's grandfather who was famed as being one of the most powerful Quincy ever to have lived, so powerful that his fellows took to calling him Der Kaiser der Zerstorung, The Emperor of Destruction. Der Kaiser's son, Ansgar Heidrich was a Quincy of great power and fame within his own right, who for his own reasons abandoned his life and family in Europe and travelled to Japan where he met and fell in love with Michiko Miyamoto, a powerful Quincy in her own right.

The Ashen Lad
Ryuunosuke was born on Ash Wednesday which led his father, a devout Catholic, to give him the name Askeladden (The Ashen Lad) while his mother would later give him the legal alias of Ryuunosuke (Lit: Noble Herald) for much the same reason. Though Ansgar had left his former home and family behind he was keen to teach his son all about their heritage, particularly as Quincy and from a young age he taught him the fundamentals of how to gather and form reishi for the purpose of creating weapons. Not that he wished to turn his son in to some kind of a warrior, he only intended that he should be able to defend himself should the events of Karakura threaten to repeat themselves. Though they moved around quite a bit while Ryuunosuke was still young he was never unhappy or lonely, generally happy enough with just the company of his parents.
Little did Ansgar realise that it might have been closer to hand than he imagined. They came when the family were staying with Michiko's parents in Atsugi, out of the darkness of Hueco Mundo they came, Arrancar. They swarmed over the house in minutes, Michiko going out to meet them alone while her parents remained inside to shelter their grandson from harm. As yet more Arrancar broke into the house Ryuunosuke slipped out to try and go help his mother. Outside the young Quincy formed up a spirit bow, but in trying to aid his parent he only managed to draw the Arrancars attention to him and as one of them had meant to attack him his mother threw herself in the way, shielding him from the worst of the damage though the Zanpaktou still pierced his body. As the Arrancar threw aside his mother's inert form the area was suddenly swept clean of enemies as Ansgar returned. This gave the Arrancar pause for thought and the pause would be his last as the enraged Quincy shot him full of arrows in little more than a second.

His Cross to Bear
What happened next seemed to the young Ryuunosuke to happen immeasurably fast, his mother's funeral, his father's departure from which he never returned and his being taken permanently into his grandparents house. For days, weeks on end in fact he spent all his time in his room either sulking or crying and then almost a month later he was simply gone from the house one morning. Eventually his grandfather found Ryuunosuke outside of town where he'd once trained with his father, shooting spirit arrow after spirit arrow in an effort to improve upon his abilities. From that day forward his grandparents, though long retired from their lives as Quincy, would take up the task of training him to combat Hollow in his parents' stead.
Years later he would be approached by representatives from Fushicho Academy, who offered to further his training should he become part of the defence they sought to organise against the advance of Hueco Mundo. So impressed was he by the fact that Humans were willing and striving to protect themselves in such a manner that he immediately accepted and rushed home to inform his grandparents. His grandfather though expressed some degree of trepidation towards the idea, knowing full well that such a congregation of aware Humans would eventually draw the attention of Soul Society, but Ryuunosuke told them that his mind was already made up. Seeing there was no way to dissuade him, his grandfather gave his blessing and announced that both he and Ryuunosuke's grandmother would be departing Atsugi before the end of the year, saying that though they had been great Quincy in their own time they'd only get in the way now. 'The new generation has to stand on its own and walk its own path,' he had said, saying likewise that it was more than clear Ryuunosuke had decided to do the same and they'd like as not obstruct that as well.
For near enough the last two years Ryuunosuke has lived alone as a regular student of Fushicho Academy and his continued his activities as a Quincy uninterrupted.
