User:Nick D Wolfwood

Hi there, now i've been here a while and gotten myself (mostly) settled into being a part of this wiki i thought it was hi time i did a proper more awesome looking userpage. i would love to take credit for this idea however i saw some others (that are still actually better) and tried to emulate as best i could. As you may have guessed i am not in reality the Preacher with a dark past and expert gunmanship from the Manga/Anime Trigun but Trigun was the first proper series i got into around 1998, before that i only had badly dubbed movies like Fist of the North Star, the Devil Man OVA's and of course DBZ to keep me occupied.

I found Bleach about four years ago now so i'm a relative newbie compared to some of the hardcore souls i know populate the fanbase here. I am completely drawn into the world and it's characters and spend almost every iota of spare time i have watching the anime, reading the manga or playig the video games (i also have watched the movies but the less said about that the better!! :)

I joined this community after months spent reading every article and wishing to meet like minded people who share an intense pasion for one of the best fictional universes out there and am glad to say i was not dissapointed.

Appearance
I spent my teenage years and early twenties doing nothing but reading comics and trying to make it in my band (myspace another day lost if you're interested). because of that i am pretty liberally coverd in tattoos. my two favorites being Kenpachi Zaraki on my leg and Nicholas D Wolfwood on my chest. I am also booked into get a pulse L'Cie brand but that's yet to come. the rest are vary from band icons to gang tats (punx) and i love them all. i also have 20mm flesh tunnels in both ears and huge scars on my back from a knife fight incident. My hair is dark brown as are my eyes betraying that i am actually more spanish than english.

Personality
I like to think that lethargy is not a state of mind rather a complete and irreversable mental condition that prohibits me from doing any task other than ones i can be arsed to do!! this leads me to have an incredibly relaxed attitude towards almost everything apart from waiting for my next dose of Bleach!

Interests
I love to sing and play the guitar, i'm not actually too bad at it either (again if you want to check the awesomness go to myspace). I am addicted to computer games and can currently be found wasting banditos on the online Red Dead Redemption. My major love are the FInal Fantasy games of which i have literally wasted hundreds of hours of my life playing - seriously i clocked up about 130 just on X). apart from that i skateboard and snowboard, which is nice and convenient for me since my city is by a huge mountain range called the sierra nevada in Spain. I am pretty into martial arts and my current favorite is Tae Kwon Do. which is amusing because not only do i need to kearn korean commands i also have to be taught in Spanish which since it's my second language gets a bit confusing at points!! "yop Chagi Directo, cmabio de pierno" lol

I was originally a marvel comics fanboy and still keep up with stories from a few characters like Nova and Dead Pool. I also really dig oni press realeses, mainly of the kevin smith/jim mahfood variety. i own all the Scott Pilgrim volumes released so far plus all the kick ass comic and can be considerd one of "those" guys that turns their nose up at all the movie re-makes that happen (although the kick ass movie rocked!!).

above all of this of course is my anime fanatisim! i have a entire wall of my apartment covered in dvd's, my favorite of which (aside from bleach) are Full Metal Alchemist, Darker than Black, Samurai Champloo, Death Note and Trigun. But Bleach rules all and there is nothing that quite compars and i doubt anything that ever will!

Abilities
Talented Musician: I've been in semi professional bands from covers acts to full on west coast styled punk rock. I play Guitar, sing. play piano and drum all with varying degrees of success. i can put most on a "grade 3" level for those of you who are musicians but have a "grade 8" voice which got me a degree in music performance. script writer: I wrote a little known comic in the UK called Strung Out Max. it ran for 8 issues before being dropped for being too offensive to find a main stream audience. we were broke student at the time and never got around to putting on the web though.

Nunchaku Expert: I have no quams with admitting this is one of the most useless things i ever learned to do but skillthe "beatiful but ineffective" weapon is always a good one to pull out at parties as long as you are good enough not to smack yourself upside your own head with them

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: I have a certificate saying that if i get into a fist fight it counts the same as having a weapon because of my martial arts experience. mainly Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai.

Endurance: I used to be a huge fan of such hilarousness as CKY and Jackass and as such have thrown myself from buildings, down the stairs at Angel Station (longest set on the London Underground. have completely torn the skin off the right side of my torso in a skating accident, broken toes training, had compound fractures snowboarding, been stabbed three times in the back and spent three weeks in hospital when my pancreas burst. plus extensive tattooing means my durability is well above that of normal humans.

High Intellect: I work as a boss to a group of super technical computer whizzes who look to me to be more techy than them. plus i am a MASSIVE geek.

風龍 KazeDraco (Wind Dragon)
My Zanpaktou actually takes the form of a nunchaku when in sealed form.

Shikai It's release command is "drop the bomb" at which point the ends turn black. when an object is struck by these an explosion of spiritual energy occurs, strong enough to kill an incomplete arrancar in one blow. the weapon is strictly melee based and has no further abilities in this form

Bankai not yet achieved

Favourite Characters
My favorite character are the mostly the melee based characters though i have some exceptions:

Squad 11 Captain Kenpachi Zaraki From the first time you meet him you know he's on another power level to the other Captains. His spiritual pressure is completely monsterous and he can overwhelem two Gotei 13 Captains at once. i mean you just don't get more hardcore than that. The Bleach universe is built on the premise that a Captains power is absolute so Zaraki takes the prize on that front. who the hell cares about kido when a sword can't even cut you because your pressure is so high!! Not to mention the get stabbed fight back later attitude and and the constant maniacle smile. he is more terrifying thatt the vast majority of hollows anyone is likely to meet.

Former Sqaud 9 Captain Kensei Muguruma

Kensei is tough as anything as has the "don't mess with me" attitude deserved of someone with his power. It is a strongly held opinion of the fandom that Kensei's fate was unfairly dealt with in the story and i can only hope and pray that the military Vizard simply got his boot lace caught on something and WW ran away so he will be back with a vengence to show off the power we all sorely missed.

Squad 11 3rd seat Ikkaku Madarame

What the hell do you do with the first non major player Shimigami that Ichigo has to face? well you can't give him a partcuarly complicated Shikai as trying to explain kido based abilities thatearly on would confuse people, so give him a stick...ok a stick with a pointy end... ok a stick with a pointy end that is segmented... now what. how about making him a crazy blood thirsty fight loving nutcase who is second only to his Captain, and also has a super cool hardcore Bankai that he like to keep under wraps!! whilst you're at it make him the most capable Zanjutsu practitioner under Captain level and you have a totally awesome character to behold!!

The Old Fart Sqaud 1 Captain-Commmander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto

What kind of man could Kenpachi Zaraki look up to? how about the most hardcore badass awesome scrapper of them all!! not only does his Zanpaktou have power comparable to a nuclaer bomb but he also shares Zakai "ha i caught to because to stuck you sword in me" idea of getting into a fight and obliterated fully released Espada level opponent like he was made of polystyrene, then took the full brunt of his own nuclear powred zanpaktou energy and still had time to call Aizen a douche and unleash a level 96 kido for good measure! there is a reason he's the boss and it aint his good looks!!

Segunda Espada Barragan Luisenbarn

Whilst it can be argued that other Espada may have been more powerful because of theri speed, strength, or abilities to be aloof and shoot a load of cero at once. i cannot see another power comparable to Arrogante. His Arrogance is well deserved and I loved him for his comment about not needing walls or a celiing as the sky itself was his to rule. that is a true king and he was the only Espada not killed by a Shinigami (or former). the only thing possibly powerful enough to take him down was his own. If he had had his shot at Aizen i know who my money would have been on.

Squad 9 Leiutenant Shuuhei Hisagi

Kazeshini is an incredible weapon and one of the best Shikai seen in the series to date. i love his philosophy yet his expertise in weilding such a deadly force. plus the punk look makes him look like me :)
