Noba

Within his Gigai, Noba looks like a young man in a fur-collared coat and a zip-up mask, through which peek glimpses of his green eyes and soft red hair; a blue shield rides his back as a tool for his powers, lending him a faintly ninja-like air. His frame proves lean and lightly muscled once the mask comes off.

Away from the Gigai, his soul inhabits a stuffed turtle decked out in gray slacks and a frilly white shirt, finished with a small red bow tie, an outfit Sado picked out especially for him.

As withdrawn and taciturn as his partner Sado, Noba turns bashful around women, zipping his mask shut or retreating turtle-like into his shirt collar, and he blushed when Rukia cradled his plush form to her face. He is otherwise the least troublesome of his trio, content to fade into the background and get along with humans and Shinigami alike; when Renji once spat coffee across a table, Noba simply wiped it clean without a word of complaint.

Built as a sensor, Noba can detect and pinpoint spirit particles from a great distance, singling out even the peculiar signatures of the Bount and their dolls, and he pairs that with a shrewd tactical mind, once devising a diversion with Rangiku to catch the Bount Sawatari.

His signature gift is teleportation, shifting himself and others to any spot, or homing in on a spiritual presence, though inside his plush body his reach shrinks to about two meters. Using the shield on his back, he opens wormholes that fling ranged attacks back at their source or banish objects into another dimension, and he commands a private dimensional space where he can trap and manipulate whatever it holds. As a Mod-Soul, he cannot truly die so long as his Gikon core stays intact, having weathered assaults from Hollows, Shinigami, Bount, and Arrancar.
