Description
---General Information---
Name: Matt
Rank: captain of squad 3
Age: 568 (appears to be in his early 20's)
Gender: male
Race: vizard

Appearance:
Matt's typical attire consists of a standard soul reapers uniform and captains haori with both sleeves ripped off leaving his muscular arms exposed and spiky brown hair. He carries his sword at his waist on his right side, even though he is right handed.

Personality:
Matt was a member of squad 11 until he reached the level of captain, switching squads because he respects the current Kenpachi (Victoria) too much to challenge her. This shows as he is a very wild man, often yelling and heading straight into a fight regardless of an enemies strength. He respects everyone around him unless given a reason not to and is always their for the people closest to him. While he loves combat hes not stupid, though he will act that way when relaxed.

---Bio---
Matt used to be a completely average soul reaper who had one goal in his life, to become the strongest. One fateful day him and his brother Zeke were sent on a mission into Hueco Mundo to study a new evolution in the hollow world that would soon be known as the Arrancars (yea in this world arrancars are a natural evolution not one of Aizen's experiments. Matt went along with his brother because he feared that Zeke's weakness would get him killed in the home of their natural enemies.
While following a strong spiritual pressure they noticed that they were sensing multiple creatures. Ignoring all caution they kept on going until they came across a hidden cave, upon entering they realized they made the greatest find in all history. They stumbled across the rumored nest of Vasto Lorde. As soon as they entered the cave, witch turned out was made of a stone witch could suppress spiritual pressure, they were crushed to the ground by the hollows pure might without them realizing they were there.
Somehow able to crawl out of the cave they assumed they were unharmed, but it wouldn't take long for them to realize that the Vasto Lorde's utter power actually planted a seed of hollow powers in both of them, witch allowed them to become Vizards. After this the brothers rise up the ranks went smoothly over the next few years.

---Battle Information

Abilities:
Matt has trained nearly his whole life (and that's a long time given his age) to reach his goal of captain commander. While he is one of the stronger captains of his generation he still needs a lot more training to reach that goal. Enjoying battle Matt is very easily instigated into a fight, but this has caused him a great deal of injuries in the past. (spiritual energy is nature green.)

Hakuda master- Matt was born with a remarkable muscular stength (the opposite of his brother) and has dedicated half of his training to hand to hand combat.

Smashing force- A move Matt taught to his little brother, this technique focuses his bodies natural muscular strength into either his arms or his legs and then when he punches or kicks his opponent they are hit with a force strong enough to destroy buildings. This technique, however, needs a total of 40 seconds to charge inside of his body making it hard to use.

Great smash- Matt's muscles temporarily increase in size, he brings his hands together above his head and brings them down with enough power to create a crater. (think HULK SMASH and you'll get the idea)

Sandbag Beat- A technique where the user delivers multiple strikes at an extremely fast pace, causing aggravated damage to a target. The technique is powerful enough to not only shatter a Menos Grande's mask but utterly destroy its body.

...and many, many more

Flash step master- as a captain of the 13 court guard squads, Matt has a considerable amount of speed, but compared to his fellow comrades his speed is only mid level

Master Swordsman- As an ex-member of the combat squad and a current captain Matt has complete mastery over the ways of the sword.

Equipment
illegal gigai- Matt convinced his brother to make him a specially made gigai that, instead of masking his power to make him seem human, leeks his power in order to attract hollows for him to fight.

Fighting Style: As said Matt is very strong and can easily switch between hand to hand combat and swordsmanship in a blink of an eye, as he wields his blade in a reverse grip. He prefers to use both in unison but this can become difficult after his sword has been released.

Inner world: Matt's inner world takes the form of an island paradise, with thick green forests, crystal clear waters, and an active volcano. There are no buildings of any kind and walking into the forest almost guarantees getting lost, witch is why both Matt and Dako spend their time on the beach.

Zanpaktou: Dako

Spirit: Dako has the body of a muscular man and the head of a lion, normally wearing green knights armor. Dako is wild and enjoys fighting as much as Matt does, often whispering encouraging words into his ear when being instigated into a fight. Dako is wild just like his master, believing his animal exterior is the embodiment of Matt's animal like behavior.

Sealed Form: Normal katana, green sheath, green hilt.

Release Phrase: Claim your kingdom

Shikai:
Dako's guard is the only thing that physically changes. It goes from a standard guard to a large circular gold ring. (the blade is melded into one end and the hilt is melded on the opposite side) One similarity that Matt and his brother's swords have in common is they are the most versatile zanpaktou in existence. Dako having the only limitation of Matt's imagination.

The power of this blade is to create and control the 4 elements. Fire, Earth (dirt, rock, plants), electricity, and water. Earth is the only one he cannot create but if there is a small amount in the area he can expand the current amount with incredible ease built up over the years.

Dako is not limited to a move set like most zanpaktou, its only limit being Matt's own imagination and skill. When Matt explains these powers and his enemy still can't understand he will say "Put simply the 4 elements of earth, fire, lightning, and water.....they are nothing but my playthings."

a weakness of this ability is only 1 element can be used at a time and if Matt tries to do something beyond his skill level it will back fire and possibly injure himself and his comrades.

Bankai:
Matt's bankai is one of the most powerful forces in soul society, but it is also a danger to himself and those close to him. His sword splits apart and creates 4 elemental entities each 3 stories tall. A bear for earth, a lion for fire, a snake for water, and a wolf for lightning.

These beasts have an incredibly large amount of spiritual pressure and act co-dependently but ,for the most part, follow Matt's primary adjective. Matt is also effected by the sudden increase in power both physically and mentally as his own spiritual pressure is raised dramatically. His body grows slightly more muscular and his eyes become more animal like, his mentality however is the real danger as he becomes more and more instinct driven with the continued use of his bankai until he eventually becomes nothing more then a caveman.

This however is not the most powerful form his bankai can take as each beast can become a solitary sword of concentrated power. These blades can either be individual or combined for more power. (ex. 1 sword with both the lion and the bear inside of it allows for both earth and fire to be used at the same time.) If all 4 beasts are combined into 1 blade Matt can only use 1 attack before passing out of extreme exhaustion.

This bankai suffers the draw back of making Matt's behavior rash and violent from the very beginning. He is subject to fits of rage and becomes merciless and unpredictable. If not careful about how he uses it he may accidentally kill his best friends, making this power a last resort only for the most powerful of enemies.

hollow abilities:

Mask: Matt's mask takes on the form of a grinning skull with 5 green fang like marks coming off the right side towards the center, also 1 black eye shadow like mark on his left eye.

cero- Matt can release a powerful cero generated by his fist by delivering a swift punch.

scream- Matt can release a hollow like scream at 2 different pitches.
1. a shrill scream that will call hollows from Hueco Mundo to help a fellow hollow. Matt uses this in order to attract hollows to fight.
2. a low scream will summon an ally arrancar (really a friend of Zeke's but they will help Matt out because they are close brothers) to help him in a fight.

Slight regeneration- Because of the way he gained his powers Matt has the ability to heal very minor would instantly and larger wounds a little faster then normal.
