Personality:

Mysterious and alluring, Ronan is extremely  talented, but even though he is gifted in many ways, he still manages to spend most of his time battling "confusing" conditions. He is frequently torn between two pathways in life, and actually lives two very different existences at the same time.

He is acknowledged as being the Saint and the Sinner rolled into one;  the lost soul, the philosopher and the psychotic and the visionary.  He has many vulnerable characteristics. He is incredibly adaptable and resilient. He is a leader of the field in many diverse areas of life.  He has an inner quest to explore his "ivory tower" syndrome that can lead him into some most unusual and unlikely living conditions. He fantasizes about situations, people and particularly romance - and because he spends so much time in his own form of 'fantasy land' this can catch him short in other more worldly areas. He sees life as he wants  to see it, coloring his view of the world in hues and tones far removed from its true reflection. He has  both miracles and disillusionment. Even though he hides it very well, Ronan’s emotions are a weak spot for him.  

One thing that plays havoc with his life is romance. When things romantically are going well for him, he is on cloud nine. When romance turns sour on him and in a heap, he often needs to take lots of holidays (or time off) to recover from life's many diverse pressures. He is very  sensitive but on the outside he looks brooding and angry. He is actually a really big sweetheart and, though he doesn’t talk much, is a very polite person and cares about everyone’s well being. Words do not hurt him even though he beats himself up mentally. In his purest form he is psychic, visionary and a guiding light to all who know him. But, in his "out of tune" state, he becomes depressed, obsessive and confused.

He can easily be described as a hopeless romantic.

Ronan is usually thought to be a “brooding asshole” and is misunderstood.

History: He was raised on the country side of Scotland, an only child to a single father. Even though he father was tough on him he turned out to be a caring and soft person. He wasn’t an outcast but he did not fit in either, he was stuck in the middle with a few friends and a good life. Until he drowned in the ocean when a carriage he was riding in drove over the bluff and trapped him under the wheels. It was hard for him to get to the rank of Espada, many trials and errors left him knowledgeable about the Vasto Lordes.

Strengths:  Good with close up combat, fists and weapons.  Fast, physically strong and smart when chosing to be. Is very good at strategies.  Has medium endurance.

Weaknesses: Horriable with long range combat. He gets distracted very easily and is bad with spur of the moment combat.

Arrancar Abilities: He uses a standard Cero but only rarely. His Cero is black and navy blue with a little white. Uses Pesquisa, Sonido, and Garganta.
