Name:
Maeda Hatsuharu
Gender:
Male
Age:
Dog Age: 3
Human years: Roughly 25
Soul Society Age: 38
Appearance:
Maeda has the appearance of an anthropomorphic canine. He stands six foot five inches with a very broad stance weighing in at two-hundred forty pounds. His face most resembles that of a Siberian Husky. His ears are seven inches in length. The fur on his ears is completely black from front to back, the most noticeable difference from ear to ear is that his right ear is missing one inch off the tip. A scar that had been carried over with him. The black fur extends from both ears meeting on the front of his forehead. Covering the top half of his head and fanning out to cover the back of his neck. The black fur then extends down from the forehead making a patch around his left eye. The only other feature black in color on his face is his nose. The area in which his small whiskers extend is connected by gray fur. The rest of his face is white fur with no noticeable patterns. Mostly seen squinting, his eyes appear black in color.
Maeda's broad shoulder stance would reveal that underneath his clothing and fur, would be a very large muscular human frame. The white fur from his face extends down the front of his neck, covering his entire chest, ending in a "V" midway down his abdomen. The white fur is always visible. He chooses to leave the front of his kosode never properly tucked and open. This is because he is proud of the white fur he possesses, believing that it has some divine meaning. The black fur then takes control, completely covering the rest of his body. His belt is tied tightly around his waist, showing the size difference from his chest and lats to his waist. His pants have been torn off at the knees, displaying the large well developed calf muscles. The fur on his legs is much thinner revealing the muscular definition the rest of his body would carry. Maeda chooses not to wear footwear. He believes the natural state of feet should never have a foreign material blocking it from the ground.
For his large body, he does not think any less of people smaller or bigger than he. He often carries an expressionless appearance which can be taken negatively or positively. He normally sits, stands, thinks, and walks with his hands clasped draping the sleeves of his kosode over them. When he runs he tucks his hands away at his back underneath his belt.
Maeda also speaks in a very gentle tone, never overbearing. He rarely displays emotion through his voice, keeping it always mellowed and low key.
Personality:
Though maybe a harsh sight to those who have a human face, Maeda has a very optimistic personality. Very kind to whoever he meets, whether they accept him or not. He is outspoken and outgoing, never missing a beat for invitations or gathering.
Very rationalistic thought process of situations, weighing out each action. He always encourages those around him to press their skills and power to its fullest, reassuring that victory will be theirs in the outcome. He only changes his optimism when the situation at hand he knows will result in a loss. Staying keen to his thoughts, he is already devising an escape route. He is a tactically based fighter. Move quickly, strike faster, and get out at even greater speed. He prefers to fight amongst wooded areas or buildings. In open areas he can become uneasy, often effecting his fighting ability.
His attitude can be sometimes poor. Given a task he will often groan, no matter how simple or tough the task at hand will be. As if he has more important things he would rather be doing. Sometimes it can be perceived as a lazy demeanor or problems with authority, but Maeda will always complete the task in a timely and efficient manner. An action he subconsciously developed and a hard habit to break. Only known to get mad or upset with himself when he performs poorly.
He has a wide taste for music, often likes to hang around places were live music is being played. He chooses a good tune over alcohol. Music has a somewhat stimulating effect to him.
Biography:
Maeda has no recollection of his past life. The only thing he interprets currently of his past life, he was either a canine or human with a close canine companion.
Maeda grew up in the 53rd district of West Rukongai. An area dominated by close knit buildings of old quality, scarred by age. Bricks randomly missing from spots, roads with large potholes, houses with wood boarders coming apart and peeling from their foundations. He kept to himself through his time wandering around. Cloaking himself in large loose fitted robes with a hood to completely hide away his face. Often would sleep next to walls in alleys. Younger children would would laugh at him, teasing him by pulling back his hood while he was sleeping. A snarling bark would run them off screaming. He often dreamed what it would be like if he had a normal human appearance, would things have been different for his soul? When he became hungry, he would grab food from places in the cover of night. Feeling terrible he had to live his existence like this. He would only take small amounts and leave behind notes with the words, 'I'm terribly sorry for what I have done and will repay you'. He just wished he could bring all these people to a better place.
One night while beginning slumber, a young women approached him. She appeared very gentle, soft spoken, short, and thin. Flowing black hair that stopped shoulder length. Her name was Shinohara and appeared lonely. Naively speaking to him, she asked why he was sleeping out in the cold. Maeda silent and gave no acknowledgment of her presence . She pressed the effort to get him to speak, reaching up and pulling back the hood. Maeda motionlessly stared at her as he could see the fright in her eyes. She stood motionless for a few seconds, but revealing a smile to him after the fright had passed. She finally opened up, offering him food and shelter, which Maeda was very reluctant to accept. It was only after that she place her hand atop his head and ensured him that she was not going to harm him. The comfortable feeling of her hand was almost warming to him, bringing about a very happy sensation.
They walked around the corner to her house, which was nothing spectacular to look at, but was a home. Maeda had to duck his head down in every room he was in. Shinohara was very open about her past life, how she had a brother that cared deeply for her, a loving family with a warm home. She revealed to Maeda that in her past life she owned a dog and his features reminded her of the family. He came to accept her good nature and over a period of time removed the hood from his attire. They often walked the streets together for everyone to see, reminiscing of Shinohara's past life. Over time, Maeda would greet strangers with 'Hellos' and 'Good day'. Though most people gave disgusted looks towards them, most people were to afraid at the sight of Maeda to act on their emotions. He was finally happy and felt he could forever live how he felt.
One night when out walking they were attacked by an unknown opponent, Maeda was knocked unconscious from a blow to the back of the head. When he finally came to, Shinohara was nowhere to be found. He searched for her in the immediate area, nowhere to be found. He ran as fast as he could to her home, where it was silent. He felt the warmth of her inside him fading, but her spirit not lost. He forever made a promise to find her, bring her back and live a more comfortable life with her, somewhere secluded. He just knew now that he needed to increase his power and start searching.
Shinohara taught Maeda to love an accept people, not everybody is evil. He often reflects her personality, believing she was so pure, a life he wishes to live.

Zanpakuto appearance:
Maeda's Zanpakuto is that of a rather normal curved katana. One-hundred twenty centimeters in length, his blade is unguarded with no hilt. The grip is an uncovered twenty-five centimeter section of the bare blunted steel. He keeps a small piece of cloth tied where the sharpened blade begins, a piece of Shinohara's wardrobe he use to carry with him. He does this in a spiritual manner to keep Shinohara always in his thoughts. When not wielded in battle, the blade is not covered by a sheathe and held tight by a loop in his belt.
