Ashido does still retain his standard soul reaper uniform, perhaps something testament to his loyalty. It is however incredibly worn and frayed, obviously having been through a hell of a lot, indeed the edges are utterly torn. Along with those his footwear's missing entirely, meaning he's barefooted. In addition to his uniform though Ashido wears a thick fur cloak like thing, one with various hollow masks that he can utilize to a startlingly potent effect. He also wears a gazelle like hollow mask over his face, the mask of the hollow that killed his best friend.

Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart

»§« Personality:

Ashido can very often come across as a stern and serious individual, indeed for a very large proportion of the time he is just that. He has strong beliefs in being ready for anything, this being due to his rather hard life, as such he constantly seems to be set on guard, leaving it incredibly difficult to catch him off guard. This demeanour he has can indeed make him seem very off putting, on occasion even intimidating to some, if you were to encounter him in the menos forest as an ally he may attack you just to test your strength and ensure you can survive. He tends to be straight to the point, pushing forth to progress further and ensure he keeps living, though saying this he continues to put others safety before his own. His resolve is near absolute, determination knowing absolutely no bounds. It is very likely this side has been further forged by his life in the menos forest. The determination he has though is hardly just for the preservation of his own life, his reason is that he's a soul reaper, one responsible for the memories of his friends. He keeps fighting to try and lower the hollow numbers in the human world by killing them before they get there, but he also keeps going because of a promise he made. One that he absolutely will not break under any circumstances. Without a doubt Ashido is someone who'd break rather than bend.

Ashido very clearly still feels an utter sense of remorse at the loss of his friends, even after all this time he still visits their graves, even going so far as to wear the mask of the hollow that killed his best friend. The scars of what happened will likely always push on him, though thankfully it doesn't seem to have changed his disposition. He's still a person that would much rather be around other people than without them, often missing something simple like being able to talk, get a response, and then respond himself. He doesn't visibly let it pull him down, instead choosing to focus on the now, if only because the now could kill him. The present is his main concern, not the future, and usually not the past, though saying this he absolutely never forgets. He keeps the memories of his friends close in his heart at all times, using this to keep him up. It is very probably this fact that's kept him fully sane in an environment that should have driven him mad, whatever it is the man's adjusted to any situation thrown at him, ready to take it head on, dominate it, and then move on to the next issue that comes before him. This is the routine of his life, and this is his duty as a soul reaper.

It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dreams come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No there not gonna change my mind

(Most taken from his wiki, which is FREAKING unhelpful >:/)

Shown to prefer close combat with his zanpakuto he utilizes incredible speed, superior strength, and a keen intellect to best determine his course and slay his opponent. He can, and very often does, use the masks that adorn him for protection, deflecting combined gillian class ceros with them.

I've known a wind so cold and seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine

»§«History»§«
₪ "I wanna know what's going on in the outside world."

Centuries before the main Bleach storyline, hundreds of Hollows infested the Soul Society from Hueco Mundo. Ashido and his companions appeared to combat the threat, and eventually drove them to open a Garganta. Believing that it was necessary to destroy the enemy, Ashido's team followed the hollows back to Hueco Mundo, where the battle waged on until they were eventually overcome by the Menos Grande. Although they fought bravely, one by one his companions were rendered too weak to resist and eventually lost their lives. Just before his last friends died, he managed to cut the mask off a hollow. Ashido took this mask for himself and used it to deflect the cero fired by the Menos Grande, and somehow managed to survive the onslaught. After that fateful day, he chose to remain in Hueco Mundo and kill as many hollows as possible in an attempt to decrease the number of hollows appearing in the real world, believing that it is his duty as a Shinigami.
