Personality and Appearance
Personality:
- Characteristics:
The Grumpy Old Man - For the most part Tategawa Masahiro just kind of... hangs around. He enjoys his peace and quiet and a good drink. Most of the time the requirement of his position or his wife will keep him from a quiet sit down and stiff drink, therefore making him a curmudgeon at best.
The Dad of the Gotei - Tategawa has been one of the longest serving member of the Gotei 13, having been one the very first students of the Academy when it was founded hundreds of years ago, As such many regard him as a was and experienced warrior they can go to for advice. Which is something he actually very much enjoys even though he acts like it's a bother. He al;so likes to remind people that Captain Shiroyama has been around just as long as he has no matter how much she denies it, and that Granny Shinomori had been old even when he was snot nosed punk.
The Protector - The one thing no one will deny is Captain Tategawa's ability to defend Soul Society and his men. When the man does actually get involved and get serious, his prowess in battle is almost unmatched in all of Soul Society. This man had many opportunities to retire or take a lesser role, but on duty he remains. People joke that the Tenth Division are those not skilled enough in any particular area to do a job, "Jack of All trades Master of None" but the truth lies in their Captain and the other half the quote people always forget. " but oftentimes better than a master of one." Tategawa is not the foremost expert in any one area, but possibly second place in every area.
Drinker - Whenever Old Man Tategawa does find time to both be away from the missus and relax, he enjoys a stiff drink and will happily indulge in copious amounts of alcohol. - Goals:
To Carry on and Protect the Soul Society, integrity of the Gotei 13 and the souls of the Mortal World. - Weaknesses:
Overindulging and pissing off his wife.
Appearance:
- Description:
Tategawa Masahiro has long light brown hair he keeps pulled back in a pony tail with hints of grey at the temple and the odd strange throughout his hair. his face is adorned with somewhat scraggly stubble that perpetually make him look like he hasn;t shaven in about three or four days.
Over all the man is of a tall and strong build, standing a couple inches of six feet tall with a broad chest and strong limbs.
In terms of outfit he wears the standard Shinigami Shihakushou along with a Captain coat resting on his shoulders and can often been seen carrying a traditional gourd with liquor inside. - Alternate Outfits:

Combat
Fighting Style:Stand up be Strong
Description: In basic terms, Tategawa Masahiro's style is an unflinching and immovable style. He keeps his position anchored and will move as little as possible, countering his opponent's best attempts with an absolute defense and only attacking when decisive.
Zanpakuto Name: Fudou Hagourui 不動保護壁 (Immovable Guardian Wall)
Zanpakuto Description: While unrealeased Fudou Hagourui looks like a normal Katana with a laquered black sheath with a square tsuba and dark forest green handle.
Zanpakuto Shikai: Mamore, Fudou Hagourui (Protect, Immovable Guardian Wall)
When released this Zanpakutou changes drastically the sheath turning into a large round shield with an violent Wisdom King face adorning the front and the blade into a long spear with green tassels at the end of the shaft.
Most people will assume the main feature of this Zanpakutou is the shield, and they are not entirely wrong. It is said to be the strongest Shield in all of Soul Society but the most dangerous aspect of the Zanpakutou is indeed the spear.
The Wisdom King (Fudou Myou) will bring about absolute retribution on evil doers. Should attacks manage to make it pass the shield or if Tategawa lets one slip through on purpose any damage he sustains empowers the spear which can then returns as much power to the opponent on top of Masashiro's own strength combined.
Zanpakuto Bankai: 阿頼耶識教令輪身不動明王 Arayashiki Kyourou Rinshin Fudou Myou! (Eight Consciousness Wheel of Injunction Acalanatha)
In Bankai Form the spear and shield disappear entirely from Tategawa's and instead spiritual fire erupts all around him and engulf him in a giant representation of the Immovable Widsom King. Tategawa remains inside normally and can bring in more people within his Bankai if he so chooses.
This guardian spirit around him posses immense strength and destructive power, but most important it serves and as an absolute protection for anyone within it as any who tries to attack those inside will be rebuked with divine retribution of fire and the great violence of the Wisdom King.
The ultimate ability of this Bankai is for Tategawa to step out of the protective embrace and instead focusing every bit of power of the Wisdom King into pure destructive power, the Wisdom King will lift it's giant sword which will make everything around tremble under it's spiritual pressure before crushing an enemy with it.
Kidō / Cero-arts / Waffen / Magic Spells:
Tategawa has mastered the majority of Kido abilities of his long tenure as a Shinigami.
