Reiatsu:
Color: Blue
Shape: Free flowing, wind
Personality: Eldridge is short-tempered, strong-willed and impulsive. He attempts to maintain a detached image, despite not caring about what other people think about him. If something he deems annoying happens, he acts rude and mean, showing his annoyance without a second thought. He can be seen engaged in conversations with other people if they pique his interest. However, he is known to be the man of few words. Eldridge believes that he is a transcendent being and can be seen performing cocky actions because of that, such as seeing others inferior. He is shown to be quite perceptive both in and out of the battlefield. This usually allows him to think a step or two ahead. Whenever angered or in combat, Eldridge tries to be fairly calm, serious, and level-headed. As much as he has an uninterested look in his eyes most of the times, he does whatever it takes to accomplish his task. He can go as far as to manipulate and/or deceive his opponents, just to win the battle. Even though he rarely shows it, Eldridge also has a comical side, adding a bit of levity to situations that are otherwise serious.

History: Eldridge was born as a soul in Soul Society. He was found at the age of 5 and raised by a fairly old man, who owned a store that sold and traded various goods in Rukongai. He grew up as his apprentice. For some reason his memories were distorted, making him unable to remember a single thing before the time he was found by the old man. However that didn't bother him since he had developed a close releationship with the old man and felt grateful to have what he needed to live on. At the age of 10, the old man sadly died because of his old age, bequeathing all his wealth to Eldridge. Being unsure of what to do because of still being in shock of his sensei's death, the boy decided to close down the store and travel. He packed some clothes and ran away from that district, but also took a memory of the old man with him. It was the old man's name, which he decided to use as his surname, Ryuusaki.
He stayed at various districts, doing various jobs to make a living. At the age of 14, he collapsed due to having nothing to eat for the past weak. He was considered as a freak in the district that happened. Not knowing why nor caring much about it he moved on to the next region, where he would find out that this was a sign of possessing spiritual power. One year later, having experienced the cruelest things and hardships for the last ten years of his life that he could remember, Eldridge finally settled down. He had understood that the only way to have a good life was becoming a Shinigami. He found himself a cozy and homelike hut and lived there, training every single day to become stronger. For the next three years he trained and worked. When he finally thought of himself as ready he enrolled in Shinō Academy. He was labelled as a prodigy there, transcending most of his peers. Graduating in a year, which was considered to be a really short span of time, Eldridge joined the Thirteen Protection Squads. Before entering a division he returned to the place where he had set off. He reopened his sensei's old store and renovated it. Hiring people to work and stay there, he bound the income to himself as he returned to Seiretei.
He wandered around for a while, trying to find a division that he could call it his new home. Soon he joined the Tenth Division and eventually rose up to the position of Vice Captain.

Gene Race: Vizard
Special Traits:
Advanced Senses: During his years in Rukongai, Eldridge spent the time that he wasn't physically training with improving his senses and reflexes. As a result his senses are far superior to that of normal Shinigami. Due to his time spent in the nature has allowed him to enhance these senses to the point where they greatly increased his overall perception of the world around him, making him able to see the slightest details, hear the smallest of whispers and feel the least of the spiritual activity.
Cold Resistance: As a result of spending most of his time in the Frozen Fortress, Eldridge's body has grown accustomed to his surroundings and became resistant to cold. He can endure very low temperatures easily, where other people would have difficulties adjusting themselves. He can also use this as an advantage against people with ice-type Zanpakutou: such attacks can still harm him, though they are not as efficient as other types of attacks.
Reihai (Healing Kidou): Eldridge has entered and completed the School of Reihai in the 4th Division. Being taught by the division captain herself, he advanced rather quickly and is now a certified healer that can use the first six healing spells.
Special Objects:
The Snitch: The Snitch is a small gold-coloured sphere with silver wings and is about the size of a walnut. It flaps its wings at considerably high speeds and can hover or fly around. The Snitch is unique for having its own memory and possessing a state of being awake and aware of its surroundings. Even though it has no visible devices outside, the Snitch was built with transcendental engineering and designed after the concept of dimensional transcendalism, which makes it bigger on the inside. This allows the Snitch to have many processing units within itself, allowing it to have even an intelligence.

Equipment:
Hiraishin Kunai (飛雷神クナイ, The Flying Thunder God Kunai): These are custom-made kunai and signature tool of Eldridge, who uses it in conjunction with his custom Kidou spell: the Flying Thunder God Technique. They differ from a normal kunai a Shinigami could encounter; they have three blades instead of one and on the handle (which is thicker than normal) is the "marker" for Eldridge's teleportation ability. Eldridge also stated that these blades are bit heavier than a normal kunai. The prongs on them also makes it more deadly in melee fighting. Eldridge carries six of these kunai with him.

Quotes:
- [Before killing an opposing Shinigami] “I really don't care if you have a cause or something. Even now, you’re defending what was taught to you as right, without ever feeling the need to question it. Don't you see? In the very end, us Shinigami are all nothing but pawns.”
- “I'll only loosen my grip when you're completely dead.”
- “So what? I always tell you. Whether it's genius or prodigy, once it's broken, it's just trash.”
- “Winning is everything. The victors write history. The losers are wiped from it.”
- “Quick and decisive. That's how a Shinigami should be.”
