NAME: Tōzan, TeruoALIAS: Former 7 ; The Impassable ; Father of MountainsAGE: 743RACE: ShinigamiDIFFICULTY: HardALLIANCE: SeireiteiAPPEARANCE: Teruo is a man appearing in his forties. He is tall, standing at nearly six foot in height, and has an incredibly muscular body. During his lone tenure as shinigami, he has suffered multiple wounds that have scarred over. The most visible one is the one on his chin, which almost reaches his lip. Teruo has red eyes and silver hair, an aspect of the Tōzan clan.PERSONALITY: As a former noble, Teruo is a reserved individual who is extremely focused. Even after his retirement, he has continued his training. Every day he meditates for four hours, reads, writes poetry, practices his calligraphy, and oversees the matters of his clan. Teruo is extremely knowledgable of political affairs and keeps in the know as much as he can.Like the mountain that is his families symbol, he is hard and unyielding. Once Teruo makes a decision he will always follow through with it. When he was a captain, he was known to be the Impassable because no one could ever get something by him after he had made his disagreement with it. Despite this, he was seen as a pillar of strength in the seireitei.HISTORY: Teruo was born into the Great Noble Tozan clan, which was one of the original seven great noble clans of the Seireitei. His family has incredible prestige behind it, and is considered to be equal with the Seiryuu in that regard. He inherited an immense amount of spiritual power as a child, and through constant training, studying, and experience, he eventually became known as one of the strongest shinigami in the Goteijuusantai. This lead to his eventual promotion to Nanabantai-Taichou.Once considered to be equal to the likes of Juken Hinaai, his fell from grace came from a fight with an impossibly powerful Vasto Lorde in the Hohlreich. During this battle his zanpakutou was consumed, and though the blade killed the creature, it was lost. In addition, he was dealt what was once thought to be a crippling wound, though it has since been healed. These two factors lead to him retiring from his position and nominating Seiryuu Itada as his successor.Currently Teruo lives with his family and deals heavily in the politics and economy of the Seireitei.
