Bio:

Solus Solaris is the son of Shian Solaris and Alyia Solus, or the woman originally disguised as Abyssion Somnis. Solus was raised entirely in secrecy by a group of Ancient Shinigami in a secluded monastery. The Ancients, as Shian referred to them as trained Solus in the ways of the Shinigami, however life was not as peaceful as his parents had hoped. As Solus grew, he became more and more like an animal, wild, ferocious, merciless. The Ancients quickly grew to despise Solus and his beastly behavior. For much of his young life, they beat him relentlessly, calling him a monster as they did. They often bound him for months with powerful kidou, and tortured him in the hopes of breaking the monster they saw him as and restoring some level of normality. However, their efforts yielded the opposite. In secrecy, Solus trained and sharpened his skills, his pain was his fuel. In the time he spent bound by the kidou they used on him, he studied it tirelessly. In time he developed the ability to feel out the weakness in the spells in order to break free. The sheer number of times they had bound him, allowed him to learn to use the same spells by sight alone. The same applied to the offensive arts. His desperation for freedom, the strength to stand and fight, and a means to end the suffering, aided his growth. As a child no older than six Solus awakened the power of his Zanpakutou. Like his father, Solus too learned the price one must pay for power, and lost his left arm to Dextera. From that point onward, Dextera replaced the arm she took from him as a reminder of the lesson she taught him, and the two became one. Using his new found power Solus challenged his so-called guardians. Their countless years of knowledge, tainted by hatred for the beastly child, turned against them. Even with the power of Shikai, Solus was not much of a match for them, yet, he witnessed their power time and time again. All he had was time to learn and think of ways to defend against the techniques they used to punish him for as long as he could remember. The difference between them, and Solus was that Solus had years of suffering behind him, and more importantly his entire life, his future was on the line. The boy had nothing, yet failure meant that he could lose everything. The Ancients threw everything the knew at Solus, but with the power of Dextera, he adapted and neutralized everything they threw at him. Dextera was more than just his Zanpakutou, she was his life, she was the very essence of what allowed him to live through the suffering, she was the essence of why he lives even today. Like he had be forced to do his whole life, he endured. With Dextera, his ability to endue, grew exponentially. In time, his resilience wore down the Ancients, and then he struck. Unleashing every ounce of his suffering all at once, he slaughtered each and every one of his guardians, one by one. Solus' freedom was born in blood, and the Lion was born with it.

Over the next six years of his life, Solus worked with Dextera and refined his abilities. The two, live alone wandering the outer reaches of the Spirit World, fighting with countless hollows in the process. All Solus had was Dextera, and she him. The two became an inseparable support system for each other, and flawless cooperation allowed them to survive. Nearing the seventh year of their freedom Solus was discovered by Gotei Patrols along the outer-limits of the Rukongai. Taking note of his exceptional Spiritual energy, they suggested he join the Shinigami Academy. At first Solus was hesitant to do so, having no interaction with anything other than a hollow over the last seven, but Dextera persuade him with the promise of better life. Taking her advice, he Joined the Shinigami academy, though he had already learned what they were teaching and more. He spent the next six months there more as a formality than anything. Upon graduating Solus was assigned as a teacher at the academy, given his advanced knowledge of the Shinigami arts. Unfortunately his place did not last long, as many of the students were far to afraid to learn from him. At which point he was pointed in the direction of the 11th Division, but elected to join the Seventh Division instead after learning that his father was its former Vice-captain.

After learning of his father's death, Solus left his home to take his father's place as Vice-Captain of the 7th Division. Not long after Joining the 7th and taking his father's place Solus was adopted by the Primera Espada, Nocturna at the request of his father. With Nocturna as his mother, Solus was able to experience of having someone other than Dextera to care and look after him, though hesitant at first, he slowly warmed up to her over time. However, the road towards happiness was soon cut short by the echoes of events that predate his existence.

Appearance:

Solus bares only vague similarities to their father, and instead more closely resembles his mother, aside from his hair which is a dark gray color. A fairly average sized man, standing at 6’2” with dark brown skin and dark crimson hair that is heavily accented by their brown skin tone. Solus, also unlike his father has very large whiskers that sit much lower on his face in comparison to his father. Solus also bares dark facial marking in the form of thin spikes sitting both above and below each of his eyes.

Other than that, Solus is shirtless, except for a ragged and sleeveless Kenpachi-esque Haori that covers much of his chest. Underneath the white garb, Solus wears the standard Shinigami hakama, but lacked the traditional tabi and waraji, which leaves him completely barefoot. Also missing from the broken traditional look was the standard Katana shaped zanpakutou that hangs at the waist of countless Shinigami. However, while lacking the standard weapon, he still possesses a zanpakutou in the form of two bracelets.


Personality:
Solus is somewhat similar to his father Shian, however he is near incapable of showing his lighter sides. Solus is much more relaxed, and much more capable of restraining himself in critical situations, and in times where he separated from his Zanpakuto, something their father had much trouble with. He also prefers to avoid formalities whenever possible. Furthermore, much like his father, Solus is very beastly, and perhaps even more so. Additionally he inherited his Mother's very dark nature, and is an extreme pessimist at all times. He also dislikes physical contact, no matter how minor or how brief. His dislike is so extreme, that he will not hesitate to bare his fangs at anyone to violate his personal space.

Solus Infinitum:
"Solus deus mortis, deus exitii.
Creatoris odium infinitum, misit orbem in chaos.
Flagro maximus iratus, spiritus illius producit doloris.
Solus Omega, Solus Finale."
