Aliases: The Iron Knight, Captain Chevalier, Tsubaki Mk. 1. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Date of Birth: 30th August. Crew: None. Alignment: Lawful Neutral. Zodiac Sign: Virgo. Personal Jolly Roger: None. PERSONALITY POSITIVE TRAITS: Jean is cunning. He's been fighting Pirates for a while now and he knows running in like an idiot is only going to get him killed. He's pragmatic and knows better than to take chances when on duty, so he always plans for possible eventualities. Say what you will, but Jean is loyal to the World Government and the Marines. He abides by their code of Justice and would never even think of betraying the cause. Of course, when it comes to individual people... Well, he doesn't grow attached to people. He is also brave. After all, how else could you describe someone who once held out a Marine base for half an hour against a horde of Pirates? He isn't intimidated by much. Jean is also polite, showing good manners towards everyone. Even if he doesn't particularly like you, he still tries to present himself as something of a gentleman. In addition, he is a patient person. He doesn't have a problem waiting for people and is willing to sit still for long periods of time if need be. He also doesn't get angered easily, allowing him to remain cool-headed in the heat of battle. NEGATIVE TRAITS: However, Jean is also a sadist. He doesn't let it get in the way of his job, but he takes a certain pleasure out of slaughtering Pirates and other criminals who go against the World Government. He's thirsty for the blood of criminals. He's also quite ruthless, being more than willing to mercilessly and brutally tear apart the enemy. He doesn't spare a thought for the lives killed in the name of Justice - the cause more than justifies the means. Jean is also a liar. He's deceptive and tricky and doesn't ever let people know what he's thinking. But what truly stands out is that he's so good at it - he can lie on the spot with a completely straight face. Telling when he's lying and when he's not is incredibly difficult, because he's able to say anything with complete confidence. He's also, of course, quite arrogant. Since becoming part machine he's been able to brag about his new, improved body, but more than that he sees himself as a sort of white knight dedicated to eradicating evil. He thinks quite highly of himself. But perhaps his greatest flaw is his instability. The idea of the World Government being wrong doesn't sit well for him. He's devoted everything to their cause - how would he cope if he were to take a less black and white view of the world? It's quite likely he'd snap. Explosively. LIKES: Marines. Tea. Sweet foods. Solitaire. Killing. DISLIKES: Pirates. Losing. Sour foods. Alcohol. Cigarette smoke. APPEARANCE Height: 5 Feet 11 Inches. Weight: 163 lbs. Hair Color: Blond. Eye Color: Green. Attire: Jean, unlike some Marines, customizes his outfit. Rather than wear the typical blue trousers and white, short-sleeved shirt that is standard for Marines he wears a dark suit with a white undershirt that has ruffled cuffs. The suit jacket is worn closed at all times and his legs are garbed in black trousers. At his hip, two cords hang from his waist, connected to the scabbard of his katana to help carry it. Aside from this, he wears the Justice Marine Coat that is given to all Captain-Rank or higher Marines draped over his shoulders like a cape. Abnormalities: Midway down both of his thighs and biceps, his flesh and blood limbs end. Each arm and leg is artificial, connected to his nervous system to allow him to control his own mechanical arms and legs. In addition, his torso possesses scarring over the right side of his chest and on the back of his right shoulder is a tattoo reading "TX.-00". BACKGROUND Jean did not grow up in a loving family with a mother or father figure in his life. He wasn't a child born to two parents who swore they were going to look after him and raise him with love. No, from a young age his parents were killed. Both of them enemies of the World Government. With them both dead, there was the question of what to do with the kid. They could have simply given the child to an orphanage. They could have put him up for adoption. But the World Government decided instead to run an experiment with him - to raise him as a perfectly loyal Marine. At a young age, the child was simply raised like any other. A caretaker looked after his needs, made sure he was fed, washed and taken care of. This lasted for all of 7 years of his life. Once he turned 7, his life was handed over to the Marines. Put through a strict training regimen each day, they intended to mould him into the perfect young recruit in a manner similar to the World Government's already successful Cipher Pol 9 training. They wanted a soldier who would live and breathe the Justice of the World Government. To that end, they worked to make sure everything went as smoothly as they wanted it to be. Every day, like clockwork, he was awoken at 5AM. He'd prepare himself for training at 6AM, which would then last until 6PM in the evening. In the evening he'd be taught military strategy and warfare through books. For the next 8 years this was Jean's life, day in and day out. He didn't speak to anyone except in a professional manner. They'd moulded him into their warrior of Justice. At age 15, they decided to send him out for a test run. Enlisted into the Marines, they placed the 15 year old boy in a Marine base to see how he responded to orders and how he worked in the field. When it came to orders, he followed everything to the letter as they hoped. When he worked in the field, he showed himself to be a shrewd and cunning soldier, able to cut down and capture Pirates when ordered to. More than anything, he did it with a certain glee. He'd been raised for this - for him, seeing Pirates face Justice at the end of his blade was the greatest of pleasures. But fate threw a wrench into their plans. One night, the base was attacked by a Pirate crew that sought revenge for the capture of their Captain. They had timed their attack well, waiting for the Vice-Admiral in charge of the base to head out with half of the men before they attacked. Caught by surprise and low on men, the Marines fought desperately as they waited for back-up. Though they ultimately managed to get back-up, it came late for Jean. In the battle, Jean had been struck by a cannonball that broke several of his ribs, making it difficult for him to breathe. His arms and legs had been severely damaged, with one of his legs even completely hacked off. It was apparent that not only were his limbs beyond repair, but his career was over at the young age of 17. But the World Government formed a new plan. Deciding to test out their guinea pig once more, they handed him over to top Marine Scientists to have his useless limbs removed, replaced by mechanical prosthetics superior to his original arms and legs. His chest was opened up and all sorts of cybernetics were implanted into his body. His body was reconstructed with machinery and by the time the scientists were done, Jean was reborn as the Marine's newest cyborg. Spending half a year learning to walk again following the loss of his old limbs, Jean returned to the main force as quickly as possible. With his cyborg prosthetics he didn't tire in battle and with his new arsenal of weapons and power he was a greater Marine than he'd ever been before. The World Government was ecstatic - their program had been a complete success. They had created a loyal Marine warrior, dedicated to their Justice. In the next few years following his rebirth, Jean fought and worked his way through the ranks, ascending to the rank of Captain. ADDITIONAL INFO PERSONAL DRIVE: To enact Justice and kill every last person who threatens the peace and stability of the world. COMMONLY ASSOCIATED NUMBER: 6, 9. REPRESENTED BY THE COLOR: Black and White. OFTEN SAID TO BE MOST LIKE: A snake, on account of his cunning and visciousness. SCENT: He smells of tea to most, but a sharp enough sense of smell can notice the scent of blood on him. FAVORITE FOOD AND DRINK: He enjoys chocolate cake and Darjeeling White Tea. CHARACTER VOICE: Kyle Hebert [Aizen voice, though a bit mellower]. LAUGH STYLE: Mmmhmhmhmhm! OOC NAME: FACE CLAIM:

The blade itself is long, reaching three and a half feet in length and is highly polished. The sword also possesses a tassel hanging from the pommel which is light-blue, like the hilt-wrapping. Non-weapons A small sword-polishing kit kept in his pocket. A pack of playing cards. ABILITIES None. RACIAL FEATURES Tsubaki Mk. 1 Armored Body: As Jean's limbs and much of his torso are now mechanical, Jean now has a sort of in-built armor capable of protecting him greatly from enemy attacks. Ordinary punches and kicks are generally more likely to hurt the opponent's hand or foot when tried on his armor, while bullets and swords aren't as capable at dealing damage. However, his head does not possess the same degree of armor, presenting something of a weak spot. In addition, unconventional attacks such as fire and electricity can bypass his armor's protection. In addition, because so much of him is made of metal, it also makes his strikes a fair bit stronger than a normal Human's. Tsubaki Mk. 1 Visual Scanner: Jean is capable of switching modes of vision, enabling him to swap between ordinary sight and a form of sight that picks up on heat signatures. This is incredibly useful against smokescreens, allowing him to detect and follow opponents even when he would ordinarily be blinded. He is also capable of recognizing bounty heads through an internal database. Tsubaki Mk. 1 Laser Cannon: Equipped to both arms is a cannon in the palm of his hand capable of firing a powerful laser at will. The laser is capable of piercing through flesh, burning the wound as it does so, and can even penetrate weaker metals. Tsubaki Mk. 1 Internal Breathing Apparatus: In the event Jean is left in an environment where the air contains poisonous gases, he is capable of filtering the poisons from the air, allowing him to safely breathe without poisoning his internal organs. However, poisons that enter his body through other means can still have an effect on him. It also enables him to filter oxygen from the water if need be much like a fish's gills, allowing him to breathe underwater.

Approved, just remember, in the OP-verse, lasers take a few seconds to charge first, and make a loud noise while charging. And you might already have some potential plot for him, but I'll be PMing that to you.
