A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
Canon: Bleach
Timeline: Some months after the fight with Ichigo in Las Noches.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: n/a

Personality: Grimmjow can be described in a few words. One of which would be prideful. He is very strong, and he knows it, so he carries with him the pride of being a very powerful hollow, as well as a constant chip on his shoulder. Because of his pride, he often seeks out fights with individuals he perceives may possess, or will eventually possess, great power. This is evidenced by his allowing Ichigo to live more than once, after brutally beating him down, and awaiting the moment in which he could fight the substitute Shinigami at his full strength. Grimmjow has expressed a great distaste for fighting against those who do not match up to his standards, as he did by quickly disposing of Rukia Kuchiki and dismissing her as a waste of his time, even after she had encased him in ice.

Being such a prideful creature, Grimmjow is prone to insubordination, such as around his “superior” Kaname Tousen, who he blatantly dislikes, and even Sousuke Aizen. Most of these insubordinations are allowed, to a point. Like an animal, Grimmjow can be subdued by a show of power, as shown by Aizen’s control of him despite his fiery nature. He is not above subversion however, as he is constantly disobeying the stated wishes of the defected Shinigami trio, giving attitude to his perceived superiors such as Ulquiorra Schiffer, and even going so far as to stage an unauthorized invasion and attack of the Human World with his direct subordinates.

Despite all of this, Grimmjow does indeed have a sort of honor code. He does not wish to fight a previously injured opponent. For example, he demanded that Orihime heal Ichigo not because he had any sort of sentimental feelings, but because he wished to defeat him at full power. He will also repay kindnesses, likely out of some wish to keep out of debt, or to accrue other favors. Not that he has to, being as powerful as he is.

Grimmjow is more uncaringly animalistic than any of his fellow Espada ever were, and it shows in his fiery, combative demeanor and the fact that he fights hand to hand, not always with his sword. Even his Resurreccion state is panther-like, as was his previous Adjuchas-class form. Perhaps due in part to this, he is a physical fighter and is wickedly fast, not just due to his use of Sonido, the equivalent to the Shinigami Flash Step. Despite this animalistic nature, he does possess intelligence and tactical prowess, and will not fail to exploit any openings shown to him.

One thing that will always anger Grimmjow, especially now after he’s been so soundly defeated, is being regarded in contempt. Specifically, he hates those who believe they can defeat him no matter how badly he injures them, and he will become obsessed with the idea of wiping that look off their face.

(Because he has not been made reference to, but he has been shown to be alive if not injured right before Aizen’s defeat, this next part is purely headcanon.)

Ever since he was defeated by Ichigo in Las Noches and being one of the only remaining Arrancar after the defeat of Aizen and really, the only Espada, he has since gone about prowling Las Noches and on occasion, devouring hollows. He does not care for feeding on human souls, being what he is. He’s become a little more reserved, but the fiery temper and attitude that he held as an Espada in Aizen’s army has not completely faded.

First Person: [Grimmjow rarely carries anything on his person aside from his zanpakutou, so waking up on a train, which is again something he isn’t accustomed to nestled in his grip was a little…annoying. His first reaction once he’s out of the train is to look around with a dirty glare on his face. Unbeknownst to the former Espada, his tightening grip on the device has brushed a button which activates the audio. Not that he wasn’t going to say anything anyway, but now his rude, attitude-filled threat is going to be projected everywhere.]

Alright, what the fuck’s going on, and who the fuck am I gonna hafta kill?

Third Person: He couldn’t help but be pissed off as, once again, he found himself with nothing to do. Aizen really was a piece of work, making them all stay here like well-kept little pets and not allowed to go anywhere unless he gave the order. It burned the blue-haired Hollow up! Who was this Shinigami to say he couldn’t go anywhere?!

“The hell with him, I oughta just go find that damn kid and kick his ass, before he causes trouble for us later,” he groused. But of course Aizen trusted Ulquiorra, and Ulquiorra said Kurosaki was trash. They weren’t gonna be killing him. Well that was stupid. Grimmjow had been considered trash as an Adjuchas, and what had he done to Di Roy for thinking so? Ripped off a chunk of his head, that’s what, and now the little shitstain was working for him!

No…the hell with it. He was going to get out and do something now. Even if it meant he’d have to pick a fight with one of the other Arrancars. It’d make him feel better to get some goddamn tension out. You can’t really cage the beast too long, and Aizen should know better than that.

Besides. Grimmjow could use a snack.
