standing a a massive 7'2", broad shoulder's, and an extremely strong muscular physique. Reiner Hoffsted looks to be one of the strongest captains in soul society, but he is also one of the newest, barely more than a year within his captainship.
he wears his bright red hair back in a pony tail, and carries his zanpakuto on his back. the blade is a seven foot broad sword, with a golden hilt, and is in a constant release state.
a very competitive individual, he sees his promotion as winning the race against his brother, and struggles to cope with the idea that he is the weakest captain. to him, the win is everything, if he's not the best he's worthless. it is a never ending game for him, one that he has been playing for near a thousand years. this long time to attain bankai has had him feeling terrible, after his first two hundred years as a shinigami he swore he had the potential to attain bankai, and refused to give up, and certainly he is rewarded.
his shikai is named Gaia, and according to Reiner, has the potential to be the best zanpakuto in all of soul society, while it may not be the sharpest, the strongest or the fastest at the moment, he does claim to have the biggest bankai.
shikai powers
Nature's wrath
slamming his blade into the ground, reiner can cause a large piece of earth to shoot up anywhere in a mile's raidus, the strength of which equates to his reiatsu control and strength. the attack is strong, but also slow.
earthen destruction
dragging his blade along the ground, Reiner carves a symbol into the ground. he does this six times, forming a perimeter, and once done, the ground within explodes and collapses, smashing any individual within with rocks and earth, and dragging them down into the earth. this attack is at six times his reiatsu control and strength.
bankai, Gaia's wrath, the titan's fury
Smoke billows into the air, turning into a giant humanoid form of earth and plantlife. the thing is bigger than most cities, and tougher than almost any substance. it holds a blade of stone, and wields a whip of boulders while strong, any damage it takes he takes as well.
