- Username: Al Eyan Hominid
- Character Name: Xero Masuyo
- Pronunciation of the Name: (Zee-ro Mah-sooyo)
- Character Squad: 2
- Character Rank: Lieutenant
- Affiliation: Soul Society
- Sexuality Heterosexual
- Character Personality Xero is the type of person that loves to do what he wants just because he can. He likes to go with flow and prefers not to spend too much time deep in thought. While he does have some concept of right and wrong, he doesn't really care one way or the other. Xero simply does right when he wants to and does wrong when he can. Despite being neutral, he can't get away with too much just because he's a lieutenant.
In contrast to his captain, Xero is much more free spirited and easy-going. He's not above doing something crazy just to relieve boredom. And when someone actually comes to him with important news, he waves it away to deal with later, though that's just because Xero hates paper work. In fact, Xero hates anything that requires him to just sit at a desk all day. He loves action, and if he can't find it, he'll make it himself.
Now those who know Xero know that they shouldn't play any game with him, or do anything else that has a winner and a looser. To say that Xero is competitive is an understatement. It's more like he's obsessed with winning. If someone could beat him in a game of rock-paper-scissors once he'd spend the rest of his life trying to get them back for it. And when he finally did, he'd rub it in their faces for the rest of their lives.

- Bio: Like most people, Xero had a life before becoming a shinigami. As a human, though, he lived the life of a bandit. But he didn't just steal because he needed supplies. He stole to relieve boredom, since running from pursuers was his idea of enjoyment. So is it any wonder that he was killed when he stole from the wrong guy. It was what he deserved and he knew it.
While Xero managed to get into the Soul Society instead of going straight to hell, he had the unfortunate luck of being sent to the lowest of districts in South Rukongai. Still, he fit right in with the other rejects of society. Thanks to his life experience, he made an easy living in the 80th district as a bandit. Though everyone was poor, they were really no different, in Xero's opinion, than the people in the human world. The only real problem was that there were more murders than there were thieves like him.
Sure Xero knew how to defend himself, but he was going against guys with swords. He couldn't compete with that. So when the day came that he ended up in a life or death battle, he had to run just to preserve his own existence. The shame he felt after that, though, brought him right back to challenge the swordsman again. He was easily defeated, but his life was spared. That fight showed Xero just how powerless he really was.
That's where the academy came in. Xero traveled there because he needed somebody to teach him how to fight instead of simply how to defend himself. Since he didn't know anyone that would train him in his district, he had to leave. He had originally planned to return with the power to defeat the swordsman. Instead he ended up sharing classes with him.
His name was Tsubasa and he joined the academy for his own reason. Xero never found out what those reason were and never really cared. All he was ever concerned about was beating Tsubasa. However, since Tsubasa was a swordsman, Xero wanted to beat him with his bear hands. So Xero began to hone his Hakuda skills, spending most of his free time in the practice areas. And when he wasn't training, Xero would be challenging Tsubasa to random fights, or thinking about fighting Tsubasa.
And no matter how many times he lost, he kept coming back for more. He trained and practiced and just kept working towards his goal of defeating Tsubasa. It wasn't until he made it into his squad that he finally started to win against him. After graduating the academy, Xero was recognized for his hakuda as well as hoho skills, both of which the 2nd division found quite useful. Tsubasa, on the otherhand, got into the 11th squad with his skills. But even though they were in different squads, they still kept close ties. Through there time in the academy, they'd developed a competitive friendship.
What Xero didn't know was that Tsubasa was always training so Xero wouldn't catch up to him. But the day did come when Xero finally beat Tsubasa. And when that happened, Xero made sure to rub it in Tsubasa's face. Even though he'd beaten Xero hundreds of times, Xero held that one time over Tsubasa's head. And then Tsubasa just had to learn shikai.
Xero knew after that first fight with his released zanpakuto that he didn't stand a chance. So he had no choice but to learn to really use his Zanpakutō. It actually didn't take as long as he thought to access shikai. And as it turned out, Xero was actually better with shikai than a sealed Zanpakutō, since a whip was easier to use than a sword. Hakuda was still his specialty, though.
With his new skills, Xero finally started to catch up to Tsubasa. But Xero didn't stop even after he did. He kept training and practicing to perfect his technique, with Tsubasa doing the same. However, though they had gotten equal in strength, they weren't in rank. In his time with the 2nd division, Xero had proved himself to be useful and, in a word, dependable. So he was eventually promoted to lieutenant. Tsubasa remained unseated, despite being just as strong as Xero. To date Xero still rubs this fact in Tsubasa's face when he's not fighting to break the tie between them.

- Zanpakutō Name: Mukade
- Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: To Xero's misfortune, his spirit isn't some fire breathing dragon or ice wolf. Instead, he has to deal with a giant centipede, which is how it got its name. Mukade isn't exactly normal, though. Besides being oversized, Mukade has a beetle-like head with pincers that are usually open to reveal strings of black saliva, and a green gem at the end of its body. It also has an armored shell, which only protects the top of it. (See Image Here)
- Zanpakutō Sealed Form: When sealed, Mukade takes the form of a very basic katana. The only thing slightly unique is the black and gold handle. The scabbard is jet black. (See Image Here)
- Shikai Status: Mastered
- Zanpakutō Shikai Activation Statement: Shed your skin, Sōkō Mukade.
- Zanpakutō Shikai Name: Sōkō Mukade
- Zanpakutō Shikai Appearance In it's shikai form, Mukade takes the form of a golden whip, which is connected by a chain-link. At the end of this whip is a thin blade, which Xero uses for most of his attacks. He can also use the handle if he wishes, though it isn't weighted or sharp in any way. (See picture above)
- Battlefield Changes: When Sōkō Mukade is activated, a black light is released, covering the area in darkness for a short time. The field returns to normal after Sōkō Mukade is done transforming, which takes only a few seconds.
- Zanpakutō Shikai Abilities
Extension: Being a whip, it only makes sense that Sōkō Mukade would have the ability to expand and contract at will. This means that Xero is able to stretch out the whip for far away opponents and shrink it to defend against closer opponents while still remaining in control. Whether stretching or shrinking, the size of Sōkō Mukade remains the same. Its just the length that changes. Sōkō Mukade has a limited range of 20 feet.
Armored Plates: With Sōkō Mukade's special ability, Xero can create armored plates on the whip to defend or even deflect attacks. As long as the attack is a kido below 20, the armored shell can deflect it. Anything else it just blocks.
The Armored Plates ability can also be used offensively, using them to knock the wind out of an opponent people. He can also make the whip surround an opponent to try to crush them with the shells. (Note: After each use of this ability, there is a 2 post cooldown)
Giant Plates: While normally the armored plates are no bigger than average shields, Xero can use Sōkō Mukade to grow single plates building size- up to 20 feet tall. Unfortunately, he can only do this with one plate at a time, and the plate that grows can only stand in place. This means that Xero is left vulnerable on the other side of the plate, since he can't move his whip while the ability is being used. (Note: This ability has a duration of 1 post, after which there's another 1 post cooldown)
- Achieved? Yes
- Zanpakutō Bankai Name: Mukade no Kami
- Zanpakutō Bankai Appearance: In its bankai state, Mukade takes the form of a round shield, which has a slight beige color mixed in with white. In the center of the shield are three golden circles, which are connected by the several curved designs. (See Image Here)
- Bankai Battlefield Changes: In its bankai, Mukade no Kami surrounds both Xero and his opponent in a spherical shell made of armored plates. Inside this shell, there are "walls" of pulsating flesh, showing that they are both inside Mukade. These fleshy walls spew acid at random and can burn enemies when they are touched. It's still big enough inside the shell to move around, but being close to the walls can be dangerous. The shells shatters when one of them falls and only if one of them falls. Attacks from the outside and inside have no effect.
- Zanpakutō Bankai Abilities
Iron Defense: Unlike the previous form, Xero only has the shield for protection, and it can't grow or shrink. Instead, Xero's shield alone is strong enough to be nearly indestructible. The shield is powerful enough to not only deflect all kido, but all reiatsu based attacks in general, such as the hollow's ceros. It can also block physical attacks just as well. The only drawback to the bankai is that the shield doesn't protect Xero's whole body.
Absorption: Deflecting isn't the only defense against reiatsu based atttacks. Xero can also use Mukade to absorb the attacks into the shield. When this first happens, the golden circle at the center of the shield opens to reveal a single eye. This eye is what does the actual absorbing.
When an attack is absorbed, Xero can do either of two things. He can add the attack's power to his own for a temporary power boost, or he can store the power in the shield for another ability. Unfortunately, there's a limit to how much Mukade can absorb. Xero can only store three attacks in the shield- one for each circle- and the attacks can't be of bankai level. (When Absorption is used for the power boost, there is a four post cooldown)
Overheat: The follow-up to absorption, if Xero chooses to store his absorbed power, it begins to stack. Overheat activates automatically when the third attack is absorbed and the third eye is revealed. At that moment, the eyes all glow a dark red color before releasing all the built up energy in a powerful blast of reiatsu. The strength of this blast is dependent on the energy that is originally absorbed. The blast can't go above bankai level in strength, though. The weakest it can be, though is that of hado number 31. (After Overheat is used, Absorption has a three post cooldown)
- Zanpakutō Bankai Time Able to Hold: 15 posts
- Achieved? No
