----Appearance----

-Height- 6 foot
-Weight- 180 lbs
-Eyes- Hazel with flecks of gold

The most noticeable thing about Nubia is the gold bands wrapped around his biceps. He is very dark skinned and the contrast of those upon his skin are very eye catching. He also has gold  paints beginning from his hairline, down his nose and to the bottom of his chin. It accentuates his hazel eyes, bringing out the gold in them. His hair is in black dreads, pulled back into a tight bun where he likes to keep it. He has scars all along the insides and outsides of his hands from hard training by himself and with his Zanpakutou. He also has multiple gold bracelets on his forearms, some with designs of snakes or lions, zebras, etc. He has a scar on the back of his neck from the battle that got him to being the Captain of his Division. His expression is generally stoic and closed off.

His weight is mostly comprised of muscle, as thin as he is for his height. His uniform is sleeveless and pulled open at the chest. His bottoms are the regular garb, only cut off below the knee. There on his ankles are more golden bands. He has no shoes, preferring to walk barefoot wherever he goes. He also finds it useful for stealth missions because there is no need to worry about making accidental noises with one's shoes. His haori is tied in closely to him so there is no excess material flying about in battle. It is tied closely to his waist with a piece of orange fabric, the same color as the inside of his haori. His Zanpakutou and its sheathe is always on his person, usually on his hip, so he can easily reach and grab if need be.

The gold on his arms was given to him by his Zanpakutou when he achieve shikai, and those on his legs were given when he achieved bankai. The gold paint on his face is of his own doing.

----Personality----

Due to the demands of his Division, Nubia is very closed off to those around him, including his Squad mates. He knew the day he joined his division it would have heavy demands, with him having to sever all ties with family and friends. He was willing to make that sacrifice because he knew it would be needed to claw his way to the top. His attitude can be considered ruthless, especially with how he gained his Captaincy, but he sees it as the way to get what you need, a theory he and the Eleventh's Captain share. He knows that in his line of work that no mistakes can be made or that it may risk another objective or even someone else's life, which is why he enforces such strict rules. That is why there cannot be any outside distractions in his or his officers lives and that's why those who join his Division must be prepared to sever all ties.

He is a very closed off individual, usually replying in short sentences or nods. He finds friendship or relationships to be a waste of time and prefers to stay focused on his work, which is how his attitude has been since he joined his Division. The only person he does have a semi-normal relationship is with the Captain of the Tenth Division. But he only became friends for business reasons. He has never truly been with someone so he knows that if he never experiences anything, he will never miss anything. He sees things as black and white, no gray in-between. The moment one of his officers make a mistake they are demoted or if it is grave enough, sent to the Thirteenth Division. He enjoys having rules and boundaries set before him as that is what he has known his own life. He even has a strict code he follows himself.

In battle he offers no mercy and expects none in return, though he prefers being able to take down his foe silently and quickly. When conflict is needed, he will go in with no second thoughts because he has no one to worry about if he is to die. He always is very careful, though, to avoid head on battles because he likes to be quick and clean.

----Major quirks/mannerisms----

- Always is standing straight and is very stiff.
- His eyes usually do not leave those he is talking to
- Never seen smiling
- Is occasionally playing with the golden bands on his body
- Sits perfectly still
- Squeezes his nose when he is about to sneeze

----Speech mannerisms----

- Replies in short sentences
- Has a strong Dutch accent, picked up from his mother, who raised him
- Never says the word hollow, always monster
- Very soft-spoken

----Abilities----

Speed:

Being the Captain of the Second Division it is expected of Nubia to be the fastest of the Society, which he is. Even though his Shunpo already in peek conditions, he still trains everyday to improve.

Hakuda master:

He is excellent at Hakuda, as that is his main way of fighting.

Tactician:

He knows very well how to skirt around an enemy's defenses and get the quick kill he desires.

----Weaknesses----

Overworks:

Nubia is dedicated to his work, but that means he easily will burn himself out and that means he will not have the amount of stamina he needs for a fight.

Strict:

Nubia has himself and his Division on a tight set of rules which can hinder himself and others at times. He is also very hard on himself.

Blunt:

He will not think to spare one's feelings. He will give you the truth, whether it's asked for not.

----Zanpakutou----

Gouden Leeuw (Golden Lion)

Type: Skill Enhancing

Inner world:

His inner world is exactly like that of an African plain, minus all the animals roaming around. There are tall, dry grasses and even a watering hole nearby, where his Zanpakutou is usually found. There is also a single tree without any leaves or life. Nubia still is trying to find the meaning of this in his inner world, though he is told that it is nothing. His world is hot, a dry heat, though that is the way both he and his Zanpakutou like it.

Zanpakutou Spirit:

Gouden Leeuw is just a large lion, made of pure gold. He has a shiny surface and yet his fur still feels soft. He is a very much like his owner, closed off and silent. But the two have formed a brotherly bond through their various grunts and nods, and of course training. The only difference between the two is the rules Gouden Leeuw sets upon himself. He is more of a free spirit, usually urging his owner to be the same. But it is all a lost cause and he is bringing it up less and less.

Humanized Form:

He is still solid gold in his human form, though feels that way now. His skin is impenetrable and hard has diamonds. He has a simple loincloth covering himself and that is all. Like Nubia, he has the same golden bands in all the same places, and the same markings upon his face. His head is shaves of any hair and his eyes are a deep dark brown.

Sealed:

His blade is a very small one, the size of a dagger. It's handle is gold and covered in very many jewels, making intricate designs. The sheath is the same, the bottom curving outwards. Despite how small the blade is, it is still very heavy due to the gold and jewels.

----Shikai----

Command: " Lichaam en ziel" (Body and soul)

The golden bands on Nubia's arms melt onto his body and fully cover his arms, from shoulder to fingertips. The place covered is as hard and unbreakable, being a good line of defense for him. His fingers are Gouden Leeuw "claws" and they are waht he uses to cut through an enemy, though he usually just goes hand to hand.

Abilities:

Verschuiving: If Nubia is quick enough and can see the opponents attack coming in enough time, he can move a part of the gold from his arms to the part of his body that will be hit.

Klauwen out: He will focus all the gold onto his "claws", making them sharper and longer.

Bankai:

Stollen en te beschermen, Gouden Leeuw (Solidify and protect, Golden lion): Every single piece of gold on Nubia's body melts to his skin and solidifies, making him a sold piece of gold. This form does not stop him from getting hurt, it just lessens the damage recieved. Also, being a solid piece of gold, eh becomes fairly heavy, but only when attacking enemies. Though not as fast, he is well protected. His whole body can become a blade, which is one of the abilities he has. He can change any part of the gold to become a sharp object.

Reiatsu color: A deep golden

History:


Quotes:
"If you do not agree with my methods, find another Captain to follow."

"Our duty is the only love we need."

"The choice to join is yours, just as the choice to rise to the top is."
This gentleman was fun to write. I've had him in my brain fro a long time and finally got him written out.
He's a very strict, yet troubled OC. He has a lot of internal issues but just puts them all in his work and prefers to shove them away
I like him as my 2nd division Captain C: Hope you do too

Please, please, please tell me what you think of him

I dig him, I always like light eyed, dark skinned characters~
Does he dampen the gold bands so they don't make noise on stealth missions?

He's got a similar attitude to one of my 2nd captains, Altajin. They could hang out and grunt at each other haha

One thing I will say is that you mix up personality flaws with weaknesses. These templates go however you want, but generally unless it affects the person's ability to fight I don't mention it under weaknesses. I'd put strict and blunt up in personality
