Very open and honest, and constantly offering advice to those who look younger than him. Will often disappear and pop up in odd areas since he constantly wandrs about the Soul Society as he is constantly learning all there is to it. In a fight he will stick to it until he is either the last man alive, or all others have retreated. this is due to his view of it being his responsibility to graud the troops retreat or postion on the field.

Abilities:

His ability of dueling with the sword surpasses many, but his strength and speed are below that of a average Shinigami, but ever since his death both his eyesight and reflexes surpass many in his unit (besides kiba). His shupo very short range (no more then 15 feet at a time), but takes him a moment to use. The only thing though he must frist take a step in the desired diecrtion and can only move in a stright line (but may angle rise or desecnt). This though can allow him to move very rapidly across the field that to him is a walking pace. As to kidou his lends only to physical enhancment and binding. His Hakuda is able to keep up with other fighters easly, even up to exchanging blows with the vice captain for a time. Problem is that it is very similar to greco style wrestleing and some odd bit of boxing, putting him at a disadvantege agaisnt those who are stronger or use thier kicks. Overall he is very good at hding his reitsu from his oppenets, allowing him to step up long range to close range ambushes. His biggest strength though is manipulatiing combat situations through strategy.

The blade erupts in to flames and the whole weapon turns to dust. this then swirls about James and latches onto his coat and creates fine gloves upon his hands. heat seems to radiate off him and the coat now has a trail of sparks him as he moves.

Armored: The cloak and gloves are extremely strong and provides great amount of physical protection, and to a good extent is fire proof.
Disperse: He can at will disperse his body as ashes, but when in that form can only move slow and is easily damaged by the wind or water, and is no longer considered armored.
Erupt: At a touch he can cause a non living objest to get super heated and then explode at a set time (no longer then a 1 minute delay). He can only traget an unattended non-Zanpakuto object up to the size of a average door and below.The larger the object then longer it take to heat up to point of explosion, but also is more powerful. Example a handful of pebbles would take seconds to heat up and the explosion would be equivalent to cherry bombs, while a door would take a minute, but the explosion would be he equivalent to a car bomb.
Bombard: Allows him to shot patches of silver fire that cause an object to erupt as described above (decides how long it takes to set of before he shots, bigger round take longer to make and longer to fully charge and object). Then range for this is hundreds of feet but while launching his coat extends and forms to the shape of a barrel held by his hands while kneeling from his the top of his shoulder. while in this state he is extremely heavy and hard to move and is still considered armored as above.

Bankai (locked): Bear witness to tears from a world torn asunder and a sorrow never-ending.
