Appearance
He is a hollow in human clothing. Literally. 'Mr. Shoeless' is an extremely humanoid hollow, bordering vasto lorde in appearance, but not in strength. He takes on the appearance of a 'thin man'; His body is so unnaturally slender that it appears cartoonish to the normal eye; Like a drawing brought to life. He 'wears' a pinstripe black suit, the color of which can literally blend into the moonless night. The truth behind the suit is that it's actually his skin; He can't take it off, despite often comically adjusting the jacket. The details behind it are an enigma, but it is the only explanation for why the suit itself, worn by a hollow, cannot be seen by human eyes.
His skin is gray; Of course, he shows so little of it that the only proof of this are his neck and hands. On which subject, his hands are even more slender than normal; Long, too, giving them a slightly bony look. The cuffs of his suit actually bear bat wings, which may or may not support him in flight (very unlikely, considering they are roughly an inch in length). They are always flapping. No exceptions. He actually lacks a pair of feet, instead having what seems like ghostly black vapours constantly pouring from the hem of his pants, giving him his infamous (Or so he likes to think) title of "Mr. Shoeless". If asked about it, he simply replies that he lost his shoes.
His mask resembles a white, less-detailed, theatrical mask in some ways. Somewhat cone-shaped, it covers his face completely; Despite this, no ears can be seen. A smile is always present on the mask; However, instead of jolly eyes, the mask has a pair of large... 'chameleon'-like eyes, bulging forward from it's front. Nothing on the mask usually moves; The chameleon eyes are always open, for whatever good it does him. The rest of his head is covered by a big plot of black hair, most of it tame, yet enough of it unruly enough to cover his ears.
...Truthfully, no one knows if Siria even has ears.
Personality
Nothing Siria says can be taken seriously. Nothing. He's a hollow stuck in sarcasm mode, who makes fun of (and light of) almost every person/place/thing/situation he comes in contact with. More often than not, this results in his immediate misfortune. People who take their jobs, or lives, quite seriously? They're even bigger targets. In fairness, Siria doesn't mean anyone harm, usually; Fun is in his DNA... if hollows actually have any of that.
He's quite the womanizer in his spare time; A major pervert for 'in-shape' ladies, regardless of their age. Odd, considering the fact that as a hollow, he doesn't, in theory, have a gender; Perhaps as a human, he was just as perverted as he is now. Perhaps not. Whatever the case, men should hide their wives, children and sisters from him; Those few women without protection are immediate targets of his peeping tom ways... which usually lead him into even more misfortune.
Despite being a hollow, Siria is flat-out harmless; Somehow, so stupid (or clueless) as to be scared even of old grandma pluses who wave a bag at him. It doesn't mean he isn't, in fact, a hollow, and can't defend himself; Simply that it's far more likely that he'll be beaten to a pulp by a 9-year-old girl before he strikes out against anyone. In the words of the bureau, his 'risk rating' is a D-.
History
Known by all (in other words, none) as "Mr. Shoeless", even Lord Siria Blake Donellson Mac Teagan Ellison the third (for short) doesn't know how he lost his shoes. Or his life, for that matter. He actually doesn't remember the slightest thing about his human life, really. He can't remember where or when he died; Just knows that he did, apparently. Doesn't even know if he was actually a male; He just assumes so, because his hollow form resembles a male body. The only thing he knows for certain is his name... seeing as he gave it to himself. In almost every meaning of the word, Siria's an enigma.
Siria likes to play a game of pretending he knows what his life was like before he became a hollow... whenever he became a hollow. In his spare time, he created a fallacy, a made-up story of what his life was like before he became a hollow. It is a tale of great adventure and lore; It begins with a lowly common man, named Micheal Lee. Micheal Lee was a lone man; Not even a year out of college with an associate's degree in fine arts. He lived by himself in a small apartment complex, where he ate cereal every morning before heading to work as a telemarketer, then heading home to sleep. Exciting.
One day, Micheal Lee gets up, and decided he didn't want to eat cereal for breakfast. Nope, he was tired of his routine lifestyle! He decided to go down to the nearest vendor instead, and get himself a red bull for the morning! Living on the edge, truly. He got in his car that morning, and drove off into the streets to work with a new attitude! Unfortunately, so did someone else, a co-worker of Micheal's who accidentally rear-ended the poor guy forward into a traffic-filled crossroad. Micheal died instantly.
And the co-worker lived happily ever after... After a court hearing gone right. The end.
Of course, there's no proof to this story at all, nor any recent data to be found on such a co-worker, car accident, or a man named Micheal Lee, so really... Who knows how much (if any) of that story actually checks out.
Combat
Strengths
The ghostly vapours which take the place of his feet allow Siria to float and fly around like a true ghost of the night; The trade-off, of course, being that he'll probably never be able stand on the ground. He's also incredibly resilient; Bouncing back from being smashed over the head with a bowling ball in no time seems to have come from countless years of womanizing female fullbringers and quincy, only to be nearly killed for it. Just as well, he's a damn-good runner (pun intended), if the going gets tough.
Weaknesses
Siria's skinny body means you can actually throw him farther than you can trust him, really. On top of that, because he is such a coward in combat, he's an easy target for blood-lusting fullbringers, honor-driven quincy, and friend-slaying hollows alike. Poor guy.
