The Bleach Wikia pagePersonality:
The word "smart-ass" is usually associated with his name, as he is very intelligent analytical, and takes pleasure rubbing it in other's faces, most especially his "rival" Kurosaki Ichigo. He doesn't really care is others are put off with his attitude. For him, he has earned the right to brag. And bragging for him means a bit of name-calling, a bit of harmless banter and usually a lot of loud arguing.
Underneath all this though, he is actually shy and quiet, and hides this by acting cool and occasionally spastic around others. He also follows the moral code of his heritage, the Pride of the Quincy, coming off as polite to his peers, having a strong sense of justice, and the urge to defend what he has, whether his friends or his lineage. He refuses to kill though, and simply prefers to incapacitate an opponent, no matter how badly the said enemy has offended him.
There are other things that set him off, such as buttons (which is regarded as unusual, seeing as his favorite hobby is sewing), and his father, Ryuuken, who had once said that there was no future in being a Quincy and protecting those who are already dead. He had taken offense to this, and lost some respect for the man, going so far as calling him "Ryuuken", which is considered extremely rude in Japanese conduct. Ishida Ryuuken is still his father though, and he still does save some feelings of affection for him.
Uryuu has a unique sense of style whether he wears customized Quincy garb, or just casual clothing. Some of his shirts that previously had buttons were self-modified to bear zippers, and, all of his garments in fact, hidden Quincy crosses. His blue and white Quincy clothing is slightly different from the traditional garb, as he had once commented as a child that it was "lame".
What your character can offer:
Like any Quincy, Uryuu is able to manifest his bow by collecting energy in the air and forcing them to take on a shape. He has great control over his powers, and has even learned techniques that most Quincy have not even been able to use, making her a genius in his own right.
- Reishi (spiritual particles) Manipulation and Absorption: He can collect the particles in the air and use them as fuel for his bows and various other weapons.
- Hirenkyaku: A technique which allows him to travel short distances in extremely high speeds by concentrating reiatsu under his feet.
- Ginrei Kojaku ("Lone Sparrow on a Silver Cliff"): His most recent bow, with which he claims he can fire 1,200 arrows consecutively.
- Licht Regen: He can gather a large amount of reiatsu at his left shoulder, and release it as 1,000 arrows all at once.
- Ransotengai: An ancient Quincy ability that allows him to move any paralyzed or otherwise immobile part of his body like a puppet, making him able to fight until his body is literally dust.
- Seele Schneider: The blade weapon that can also double as an arrow.
- Haizen: One of the four techniques that utilizes silver rubes filled with reiatsu, he can create a beam of energy that can slice through an enemy.
- Gritz: The second of the silver tubes techniques, he is able to create a pentagram that surrounds his target like a light prison.
- Wolke: The third of the silver tube techniques, he can use one of the tubes to make an explosion, or even cushion a fall.
- Sprenger: The last and most complicated of the silver tube techniques, he can create a pentagram seal with Seele Schneiders as its points, and make it explode by pouring the liquid inside a tube over one of the blades.
Aside from all these, he is resourceful, and can think up of several ways how to win a battle- or even live alone and/or survive, as he has lived alone for quite a while. He is also multilingual, which will work in his favor in foreign places, having a decent knowledge of Spanish and German.
Sewing can also be called a strength of his, as he is the captain of the handicrafts club in his school.
What items will they be bringing with them? The clothes on his back, his Quincy cross, two Seele Schneider, and six gintou/silver tubes.
