Here is the Rufous Trailer about Renji Abarai. If anyone wants to know, Rufous is a shade of red.


Q&A Time

Perseus Ruby Sendou: Well, I'm feeling proud of myself ^^. Thank you for enjoying the chapter.

Lightfighter I: Thank you so much. Of course, I can't reveal who the friend and the woman is yet, lol. I kind of feel the need to say that there will be an OC team in the story, but they'll not be the main focus (otherwise I would be making trailers for them and not this, right?). However, they are integral to other characters. I don't want to go into depth on them because that would be spoiling. The reasoning for bringing this up is because I'm aware that not a lot of people like OC. I can understand why, Mary Sues and all that. You have nothing to worry about on that topic though... Oh, nononononono, you're fine. You were doing fine. It was really nice of you to do so!

"I will not ignore who I am and I can't be anyone else. I will forever howl at the moon with pride."


"INITIATING BATTLE TEST SIMULATOR." A computerized voice announced in a dome shaped arena as lights flashed on. "COMBANTANT -" The light shines on a long haired redhead. "RENJI ABARAI." Sections of the floor begin to open up. "OPPONENT: 100 AK-130." One hundred of said black colored androids rose up from the lower level. Renji gives a toothy smirk at the sight. This will be easy. "ROUND ONE STARTS IN 3..." His snake-shaped gauntlet opens up and his sword extends out. "2..." He readies his shield. "1..." He takes a stance. "BEGIN."

Renji leaps into action just as the androids turned on, blue highlight illuminating from them. With a single swipe, he decapitates three androids at same time. Without stopping, he continues to slash at the androids, bisecting the machines one by one. He would have continued if shots from other androids haven't been fired. He uses his shield to block the bullets as he cuts at any android coming near him. Seeing as the shooting androids are still firing, he pulls a trigger near the shield's handle. The mouth of the skull placed in the front moves opened as bullets were fired. This successfully kills the firing androids, stopping the barrage. Renji smirks at himself for his work. He turns to see the final bunch rushing towards him with blades. His grin grew, revealing some sharp teeth before swinging his sword. The sword extends to incredible lengths and slashed through the last of the AK-130.

"ROUND ONE FINISHED. WINNER: RENJI ABARAI." Renji smirks at the announcement. Was there any doubt that he'll lose? "NEXT OPPONENT: SPIDER DROID." An inactive large machine ascended to the main floor. "ROUND TWO STARTS IN 3...2...1...BEGIN." The droid rose to life as it glowed red and immediately starts firing at Renji.

Renji blocks the shots with his shield while he shoots as well. Unfortunately, the attack barely fazed the droid and its thick armor. The droid charges forward and leaps in the air to trample the man. Renji dodge rolls out of the way and shoots at the droid's legs, again to no avail. The droid aims its guns at Renji, but instead of its regular rounds, it charged and released a laser. Renji barely managed to dodge it. He looks around the mech to find any sort of weakness. His eyes laid on the machine's midsection. Renji grins and swings out his sword. The blade extends again and Renji maneuvers it to coil around the droid's middle. He then pulls a switch in his gauntlet and more blades extended out, stabbing the machine. Before the droid could do anything, a surge of electricity went through the sword and into the machine. This successfully short-circuits the thing and shuts it down. "ROUND TWO: FINISHED. WINNER: RENJI ABARAI."

Renji gives a playful smirk. "Come on, is that the best you got?" Renji taunted, itching for another round.

"FINAL OPPONENT: ANDROID MODEL 11." A single android rose to the main floor. It's appearance looked different from the AK-130 and the Spider Droid. It was slender like that of a girl, a wire hangs out from the base of its head, like a long ponytail. Surrounding it were at least fourteen blades. "FINAL ROUND STARTS IN 3...2...1...BEGIN." Green, tron lights illuminate from the android as it levitated from the ground. Its visor also turned green before it flew towards Renji, its many swords in tow.

Renji shields himself as the swords come at him. Model 11 appears behind to land a kick to his side. He skids back and charges at Model 11, dodging and ducking from the barreling blades. He swings his sword out, hitting Model 11 and crashing it into the wall. An electrical surge occurred to the android as it slowly removes itself from the wall. Then, something odd starts to happen to Model 11. It started to convulse as it repeated binaries in a robotic, monotone female voice, much to Renji's confusion. Just as suddenly the odd occurrence began, it stopped convulsing. It stood silently, not moving, in front of Renji. He attempted to inspect the android when it suddenly spoke, "NEW OBJECTIVE..." It's green visor turned blood red. "...ELIMINATION."

"What-?" Renji didn't had time to finish as the blades began their barrage again, but with more ferocity. He tried to dodge and block each one but was eventually overwhelmed and was knocked back into a wall, the impact causing Renji to create an impression on the wall. He shook his head to make the room stop spinning and sees Model 11 coming towards him with a drop kick. Renji quickly brings up his shield before the hit lands. The impact causes the wall behind Renji to cave a little further and his Aura began to flicker, indicating that his Aura is nearly depleted.

Model 11 leaps into the air and commands its blades to administer the killing blow. Renji struggles to break free and manages to do so before a blade embedded itself into the concrete wall, right where his head. He continues to dodge the onslaught as the blades hit the ground. Alright, it's time to end this. Using the blades as a foothold, he leaps into the air before using Model 11 itself to go further up and twists around, his shield poised in front, aiming at the rampant android below him. With a single click of the trigger, a burst of Fire Dust came out and towards the android. In a single shot, the android was hit and seized as it's functions go haywire. Renji lands back to the ground and watches the android closely. Model 11 then froze before falling moments later backwards with a thud.

"FINAL ROUND FINISHED. WINNER: RENJI ABARAI. BATTLE TEST SIMULATOR IS NOW OVER. PLEASE EXIT THE ARENA." the computerized voice concluded. Renji did not move for a moment. He watches as Atlas personnel entered the arena to the gather broken android, pondering over what has occurred. He didn't go any further with the voice repeated itself and he exits the arena.


"There is no amount of apology that would justify what has just occurred." James Ironwood said, looking really guilty. He, Renji, and Renji's benefactor, Byakuya Kuchiki, are now in the waiting area of the facility. "If I had known that a virus was implanted in the android, I wouldn't have sent it in. I am truly sorry."

"He-hey, it's nothing, really." Renji said. "I mean, yeah, it caught me off guard, but it all worked out in the end, right?"

"If that is what you believe..." James says with some uncertainty. He feels geniunely guilty of the whole ordeal. He clears his throat. "Well, uh, thank you for your hard work today, Mr. Abarai. Thanks to you, we will be able to improve the androids to better the safety of the people. The androids "

"It's no problem, General Ironwood." Renji said. "Glad I could help. To be honest, it was kind of fun. I kinda hoped it withstood the blast so I could keep fighting."

"How uncouth." Another man criticized. All turned to a white haired man in a crisp white suit, holding a glass of wine while siting in a plush seat. "You should have done better to train him." He says towards Byakuya.

"Renji Abarai is no different from the occasional wild individuals who steps foot here. He's just so happens to be a Faunus." Byakuya defended with a calm and stoic manner. "I will not allow anymore unsavory comments about my future subordinate."

The man in white scoffed. "Byakuya, is that really a wise decision? The Faunus might be a White Fang member for all we know." He said, gesturing Renji with his wine glass, not even batting an eye at him. Renji farrowed his tattooed brows towards the man, trying his damnest not to stare daggers at the guy. Atleast, not while Byakuya and James was still in the same room. The man does know he's standing right in front of him, right? The least he could do is look straight at him.

"While I appreciate the concern, Mr. Schnee, it is unnecessary." Byakuya said in the same calm demeanor. Jacques glowered at him, a little less than pleased. Again, Renji is trying his hardest to keep himself together. But not from anger, but from laughing in amusement.

"Now you-"

"Jacques, please." James warned sternly. He turns to the youngest man in the room with a warm smile. "Mr. Abarai, it will definitely be an honor to have you here. Now, I'll head to the Intelligence Division to see anything about the anomaly that Dr. Kurotsuchi found that could have caused the sudden rampancy. Have a good day, gentleman." Both Byakuya and Renji salutes to him as he then leaves the room, leaving the two to themselves with Jacques. Although Jacques hmphed and leaves the room not long after Ironwood did, not without giving Renji a glare of his own, which Renji caught on.

After he was gone, Renji scratches the back of his head. "Um, sorry if I made everyone worried, sir."

"There is no need for apologies, Renji. I have heard enough today." Byakuya said, closing his eyes again as he lowers his hand. "I had no doubts of your capabilities, so I was not worried." Renji doesn't say anything as Byakuya started to move to the exit himself, with Renji following not to far behind. "I am going on ahead. I need go check on something. I believe that there is a concert going on in a hour or so, hosted by the Schnee family. Are you going to attend?"

"Yes sir." Renji clarified. He may not be a fan of the family's head, but he's willing to go as long as he doesn't come across his smug self again. Besides, Uryuu and Rukia seemed eager to go, very subtle on the former's part he could tell. "Me and my team."

"Alright then." There was a slight pause. "Renji..." Byakuya started. "You did well today. Keep up the good work. Be sure to tell Rukia the same." Renji stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened at the compliment. Of the two years he's known him, Byakuya has praised him only twice, even after he has gotten a little nicer, courtesy of his sister.

With great gratitude, Renji salutes to his superior. "I will, sir. And thank you."


Renji lets out a breath he didn't know he holding as he made his way through the chilly, pristine streets of the City of Atlas. "Man, that was a load."

"Hey." He hears someone call out to him from behind.

"Ha?" Renji said as he turns around and sees a few guys behind him. All are Faunus with the obvious signs of either a tail, a pair of animal ears/antlers, or patches of scales.

"You think you now got the good life, huh? Now that your a human's dog?" A cat-eared Faunus sneered.

Renji rolled his eyes. Some people...Renji has learned a long time ago about the obscurity and foolishness of discrimination. Can't really change what you are, now can't you?

"Look, I appreciate the concern, but it's unnecessary." Renji said. "Unlike you guys, I'm actually doing something with my life." Without giving them another word, he turns his back to them.

Renji trudges along, ignoring the heated glares he was receiving from his 'fellow' Faunus'. Honestly, this is getting old. This discrimination crap between the humans and Faunus is getting really aggravating. Even the Quincys aren't even in the fray, despite being neither human or Faunus. Then again, the large majority of the Quincy race kept to themselves, hidden within their own kingdoms; except for maybe a handful in a few places. Many believe that the Quincys just think that their kind is better than both humans and Faunus. Well, given what happened 2,000 years ago, it's no wonder why the Quincys seemed keen on solitude.

Something at the corner of his eye caught his attention. What he sees is what he admits is an adorable sight. It was a large dog sleeping in the empty spot between two buildings among crates and trash, but it wasn't alone. Sleeping with it were two other dogs of different species, a few cats, and even birds and mice. No doubt that they're trying to keep each other warm in these cold climates.

Renji smiles at the scene. Who says different species can't live in harmony? When things start to get rough, why can't Humans, Faunus, and Quincys work together. Look at the kind of world we live in. An explosion from the highway grabs the redhead's attention, startling everyone within earshot. In a split second, he could sense the Signature of one of his teammates at the direction of the explosion. Rukia... He sprinted into action. He has to hurry over to her location. She might need his help. He then felt the Signatures of his other two teammates, heading towards the same destination. Renji starts to run faster.

He needs to help his own pack.


Elsewhere...

A crash from behind startles Blake, her hand now on the hilt of Gambol Shroud as she gets ready for a fight. Had they finally caught up with her after all this time? Her worries unfounded when she sees the cause of the noise. A cat has probably got startled itself and caused a crate to fall. She sighed and with a little bit of hesitation, Blake lowers her hand from Gambol Shroud and returns to her walk through the darkened alleyway, though her guard is still up. It may have merely been a small animal that nearly made Blake jump out of her boots, but who's to say that it won't be the same next time. Next time, it would be a red blade just a few inches from her face...

Blake wraps her arms around herself to keep herself from shuddering at the thought. Despite not seeing him in the past two years, Adam still has a frightening hold on her. And she hates it. She really hates it. Why didn't she leave with her parents? Why did she remain with the White Fang? Apart of her still saw that the White Fang were righteous and true, that Adam was righteous and true. So, she stayed. She stayed in order to fight for her people. For the Faunus. And, in time, things did changed, but not how she imagined. So many people were hurt, so many lives were ruined. The sounds of a bustling city brought Blake out of her inner turmoil. She looks up to see the light of the entrance of the alleyway and people walking around, chattering away.

Blake stops just at the edge of the shadow, an inch away from the warm rays of the Sun. You can do this Blake... Thanks to the little black bow, what everyone will see is not a cat Faunus, but a human girl. In all honesty, Blake feels guilty for hiding a part of herself from the world around her. But she has to. Otherwise, all people will see is a dirty, filthy, Faunus. Not the girl who just wanted peace. She shook her head and looks up at Beacon Academy, watching over the city of Vale. Like the symbol of hope it is named to be. The place where she will start anew. She clenches her fists as she makes her way towards the light. She has to make things right for her kind and she'll do it as a Huntress.

Even if it means hiding her true self in the shadows.

Now, some notes about Renji:

... He is 19 years old

... He is a 3rd year student at Beacon Academy.

... He's a dog Faunus, his trait being canine teeth

... His emblem is his forehead tattoos

... His weapon is based on both his original shikai and final shikai, the baboon arm is a shield instead

... He's from Vacuo

... He has a human mother

... He's a tattoo artist

... He's responsible for Ichigo's and Uryuu's tattoos

... His Semblance is Bone Manipulation

... His 'inspiration' is Anubis from Egyptian Mythology

I feel like Renji would have to be the most difficult character to write. I don't know why, but it's hard to write his character.

Now a bit of description for his combat attire:

Appearance: Still as tan-skinned and buff as ever. No new tattoos or anything like that. However, in terms of hairstyle, I'd say a mix of his Fullbring Arc look and the 10 year timeskip. Meaning, a few strands of his hair are in braids.

Combat Attire: He wears a burgundy vest with golden outer edges and inner edges covered by a prominent trimming of rosy brown fur that appears similar to a feather boa over a short, dark blue top, leaving his muscular and tattooed midriff. He wears white trousers with a yellow belt amd a magenta tie dye scarf tied to a belt loop. He also wears a tiger strip printed headband, tattered burgundy armbands, and shoes. Lastly, he has the goggles he wore during his introduction early in Bleach. His braids has some feathers. (When comes to the Soul Reaper characters, I plan on basing their combat attire to the spirit forms of their Zanpakuto)

Uniform (Cool Weather): Look back at Izsir Trailer, the only difference being that he wears his headband

Uniform (Hot Weather): Look back at Izsir Trailer, the only difference being that he wears his headband and armbands

Casual (Cool Weather): http colon dash dash gallery dot minitokyo dot net dash view dash 426336

Casual (Hot Weather): http colon dash dash gallery dot minitokyo dot net dash view dash 386671

Pajamas: All he wears is a pair of dark green sweatpants and his hair is braided.

Next, Renji's weapon:

Hihio Zabimaru is categorized as a Skull Shield Whip Sword and is honestly the best I can come up with.

Zabimaru: Renji's sword. It resembles the form of Renji's new Bankai, having a guantlet in the shape of a snakes head and having red tuffs of fur and the blade is like his Shikai with some Lightning Dust embedded within the wires of each section. There are some bone fragments in them too.

Hihio: Renji's shield. It resembles a Native American war shield with the face covered in dark moss colored fur. Attached at the bottom are a few feathers hanging from red beaded strings and placed in the fur is a baboon skull (the one that was on Renji's left side when in Bankai). The shield also acts as gun, the mouth of the skull can open and there is a trigger at the handle to shoot bullets and Fire Dust.

Next, Semblance:

Bone Manipulation: I figured that his two Bankais included controlling bone structures, this can be his Semblance. That's the reason there are bone fragments in his sword so he can control it's directions. He can control skeletons, but he refuses to control the bones in people.

In my RWBY headcannon, Blake's desertion happened about two years prior to the start of RWBY. Why I think this is Episode 7 of Volume 3. Now, let's do Blakey:

Uniform (Cold): She wears everything of the uniform along with a dark purple, long-sleeved, unbuttoned sweater vest

Uniform (Hot): She wears everything of the uniform except the blazer and the white shirt is short-sleeved.

Casual (Cold): She wears a purple hoodie over a black shirt with long-sleeves and thumb holes, dark jean shorts, black leggings, and brown boots with white socks. She wears a dark purple bow

Casual (Hot): A purple/white striped shirt with short purple sleeves tucked in capri jeans with a purple belt and purple converse shoes. On top of her head she wears a purple bow.

. . . .

One last thing, after going through some comments and forums about RWBY and Bleach, I am again reminded of some of the short-comings of both series and feel like I need to improve them in this story. However, I'm not sure of some of them and I would like some enlightenment, please. I'll try to do as much as I can.

A few that I am aware I am already taking care of are:

Orihime's lack of usefulness, her nigh-godlike powers, and her 'Kurosaki-kun' obsession

The more Tell-Not-Show Faunus discrimination
