He prefers to fight only when he has a tactical advantage, although he's more than able to win a fight when he's at an initial disadvantage as well. He has an introspective personality and has few friends even in his own squad; even though he's a seated officer, few even know the name, let alone the abilities, of his Zanpaktou. Gloomrazor, his Zanpaktou, allows Ralziir to manipulate darkness and shadows. When released (with the command, "Emerge into darkness, Gloomrazor."), he can create clouds of inky blackness through which only his allies can see, fire blasts of concentrated shadow from Gloomrazor, and, if all else fails, absorb all the shadows in the immediate area into Gloomrazor to form a thin barrier around its edge, strengthening his melee attacks.Mechanicswise, I want him to be about equally proficient with his sword and with Kido, but with only basic Shunpo (enough to use it as a combat movement ability but nothing near the degree of someone like Byakuya or Yoruichi). His Shikai adds the abilities to create areas that obscure vision, to fire off a powerful line AoE from Gloomrazor, to boost Gloomrazor's physical damage at the expense of the vision obscuring effect, and adds a bit to his physical stats and combat abilities (most notably with sneak attack feats to take advantage of his ability to deny vision to his foes). His skills are focused into Acrobatics, Concentration, Search, Investigate, and Stealth.Mechanics question/clarification: I have no clue how Jemal worked out the cost of his Powers the way he did. I didn't see any way to create "containers" like he describes; it looked like powers had to be bought individually. If someone could help explain that to me, I think it'll help.Also, a storyline question:[sblock=ANIME SPOILER]I've read the manga all the way up to the current issues; which set of Captains are we dealing with? Are the Vizard captains/lieutenants still around - Hiyori, Shinji, Rose, Love, etc? Or are we dealing with their pre-Aisen's-betrayal replacements such as Gin and Tousen? It matters for whose squad I place Ralziir in.[/sblock]</blockquote>
