-Basic Information-


Name: Fuki Kago
Clan: none
Age: 433
Gender: Male
Rank: Shinigami Student

-Appearance-


Height: 240 cm

Weight: 132 kg

Hair: My aging, black hair is tied in a long ponytail. Every time I see my gray highlighs in the mirror, I wonder if this is the best style. I, however, choose never to cut my hair since that day... Though stretching to my midback, it easily makes it to the small of my back when loosed.

Eyes: I swear my face looks more aged when I look in the mirror and see these tired, hazel eyes. There's still that fierce determination in those lightning bolt shapes.

Clothing: I take things as I get them. I was a spoiled brat, but I learned my lesson a long time ago. When given the shihakushō upon entering Seireitei, I pretty much left it as is. The only thing altered were the sleeves. They never did my well, at least not since my high school years. I just cut them off. I'm not a show off, so it's not for the ladies to swoon my muscles. I just prefer the ease of movement that comes with it. It doesn't help that my zanpakutō decided to take this huge shape... I have to heft the thing with that huge sheath on my back. I just wonder why that ruby-like shape has to show at the end of the hilt... Oh well. If they ever give me a gigai when traveling to the real world, I guess I'll make sure they make me look kinda scary, keep the humans away.

Physical Description: Sometimes I wonder about my body. I'm tall and muscular, easily towering over most people. From time to time, I even seem to just get these bursts of speed. It is kind of fun to watch the dismayed looks on my opponent's faces when I move like that. I may not like to show off anymore, but I guess that prankster within just never goes away. With the way my sleeves are cut, one look at my biceps says why my hefty sword is nothing to me. I'm often seen with my head hanging; though, this is not to say I'm sad or depressed. I've got to watch where I'm going. I could easily crush a smaller person, an animal, or something if I'm not careful.

Background: I would call my past a tragic history.

My name has a double meaning as father became confused due to mother's death giving me life. My childhood isn't what was tragic. I was pampered and grew up quite spoiled. I guess father didn't want to lose the only link he had to his wife, so I became the outlet for affection. The pampering grew so much to encompass father's life that he did everything he could to find a better job for himself, a better school for myself, and the best personal servant money could buy. All these extremes, and I never really got what I wanted. What I really wanted...was a mother, so, of course, personal servants were always women. As you might imagine, this didn't bode well as I reached adolescence. It grew worse as I started demanding that 'beautiful' women attend me. As asked, father made sure I received.

This went on for years, straight through college. I was always harassing these servants. I truly believed I could do as I pleased, from pranks to unwanted sexual advances. The fact that I never got in trouble and the women only left, though taking quite a bank account with them, only added fuel to the fire. It all changed one day when one servant hired struck an unfamiliar chord within me. Though never knew such behavior, I found himself pulling no pranks. I even found myself helping, and I'd do things which would be considered considerate, two lessons I never really learned. A long story short, we became husband and wife and soon had children. I developed a strange compassion because of this woman, and this pleased father to no end. This, however, is where the tragedy struck.

For some reason, I always had strange visions as a child. They were thought of as natural curiosity and ignored, and even I grew to ignore what I saw. What I saw were visions of the dearly departed, plus souls and hollow monsters. Through years of ignorance, I had been leaking my small reiatsu. Perhaps ironically, it was not my own sins of the past that would come back to haunt me, rather it is something I had absolutely no control over. I'd say I was right around my mid-thirties when a hollow, probably, followed my reiatsu to home, occupied by my entire family. I heard it this strange shriek, but I paid it no mind thinking it a passing vehicle of some sort. That sound, however, would become a sound I swore I would never forget.

I could only watch in horror as my wife and children were consumed before my very eyes, trapped beneath rubble from when the hollow broke into our house. It probably thought me dead, but I was slowly being suffocated. Since sometime in high school, I was always big and strong, but I couldn't fight an entire wall and floor collapsing on my back while a hollow stood there. The sad thing is that a shinigami was given a call just moments too late of the presence of the hollow, and this was one of the more intelligent ones. It made a living avoiding shinigami, and it was talented at hiding its reiatsu even when without Hueco Mundo. It fled immediately; the damage already done. My entire family were dead, and only I was left to become a plus.

The shinigami sent me, straight away, to Soul Society. All I could do was mourn that my family could not join me. I wasn't told at the time, but the fact that they were eaten by a hollow meant that they became such themselves. Perhaps that lead to my current personality. One woman who saved me from a shallow existence, yet one event led to all that collapsing around me. When I found I had the strength to become a shinigami, I vowed on the zanpakutō they immediately taught me to form that I would do what I could to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again.

Personality: There are those that would describe me as the strong, silent type. When one considers my size, this isn't exactly a hard idea to imagine. Add in that I prefer to remain silent unless I feel it necessary. I am, of course, quite naturally strong; though, I prefer not to simply show it off through language or actions. I have been described as timid, shy, aloof, or any number of general characterizations. This, perhaps more than anything, proving I can't be known simply through observations. I simply prefer to minimize my interactions.

Other: Though personality may otherwise, there is a fierce determination to defend friends and allies and, especially, children.

-Zanpakutō-


Zanpakutō Name: Tadai Kinzoku - Heavy Metal

Zanpakutō Call: Banjin no Dou oyobi Iki Kujiku - Crush Everybody's Body and Spirit

Zanpakutō Appearance: Tadai Kinzoku's sealed state clashes with my personality on so many levels, especially in that it is showy, extravagant, and proud. I'm pretty sure he thinks it's all one, big joke. Watch it! He's probably laughing about it!

It's what one might refer to as a heavy blade. It's a double edged sword with a blade approximately one-hundred ten centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide. At its thickest, it's approximately five centimeters. The grip is easily long enough for me to clasp with four of my hands, ending in a diamond-shaped hilt which looks like a large ruby. Tied off right before the ruby are three pairs of platinum-colored tassels. The crossguard is as large and intricate as the rest of the zanpakutō, part of it even stretching in a large triangle nearly halfway up the blade. The rest is wrapped in red leather, each side easily stretching fifteen centimeters from the edges of the blade.

Zanpakutō Type: Physical, Metal

Zanpakutō Soul: Tadai Kinzoku is as small as I am large.

He's a fox with very dark, blue fur; though, an obvious tint of red can make it appear extremely dark violet. He has two tails, each with a zigzag pinstripe, which are also present on his ears. He's a trickster and a fast talker. He may only come about halfway up my shin, but he's as quick and crafty as he is tiny.

Shikai: The heavy blade evolves into a mechanical blade, or mechblade.

The grip looks practically the same except a metal flower now blossoms around the ruby and what looks like a trigger is gently tucked where the grip and blade meet. The crossguard is now gone, instead replaced by the base of the blade gently sweeping down to create something which looks like wings. The mechblade is duel-edged with barely any slope after the wings until a very sharp slope to the tip during the last twenty centimeters. The two edges actually don't exist as the same blade. They are held together by an intricate center piece which seems to be housing some mystery. Within this metal works are gears. The mechblade holds secrets within only revealed at higher levels of shikai.

Perhaps the most mysterious part of the mechblade are the chains that wrap and bind the blade shut, preventing it from opening in spite of the tremendous power that can be felt sleeping within. It's impossible to tell where these chains start or end, but it's obvious they number the same as the tassels in the sealed state, perhaps emphasizing that they are the tassels transformed.

If one pays attention to the central housing, it has the same ritz about it I hate about the sealed state. It uses obvious purple and gold hues, as if declaring royalty, in an ornate pattern which carefully concedes the jagged shapes where the mechblade would separate to open. There are also gold groves along either blade edge. What's perhaps most scary about the blade is not that it retains its massive size and becomes something that almost seems to be a maw ready to open wide. What's most scary are the jagged, teeth-like edges near the base of either blade.

Zanpakutō Abilities: In any state (sealed, shikai, bankai), Tadai Kinzoku is always treated as a two-handed blade.

-Background Continued-
Part A:
-Living World-
-Family-


Nobody ever sees it, so I'd imagine most see me as an old, confirmed bachelor. I've sewn my wedding band, a simple gold ring, to the inside of my shihakushō and over my heart. Yukari, my wife, was the most beautiful woman I ever met. She was especially lovely with a snowy backdrop, so I'd often call her by Yuki. When we had our firstborn, we named him Tenshi. He was as happy a baby boy as one could possibly hope. When it came time for our second, we named her Rikka. I'm proud to say that our son was well behaved and excited to be having a sibling, and she was a beautiful girl full of life and hope. It is maddening to think I should never look upon their faces again. No... No more of that.

Yukari was the picture of affection. I don't know what it was about her that drew me so utterly to her, but there is no denying the fact that she had that quality. She managed to completely dominate my world from the moment I laid eyes upon her. As father interviewed her for the position, I skulked about to see her, snickering like some kid about to pull the prank of his life. I was already quite large by this point, easily intimidating anybody around me. When father called me into the room, she finally turned to face me. She wasn't intimidated, not in the least. She walked right up to me and bowed, asking my favor. I was stunned. Don't get the wrong impression. I was stunned before she walked up to me. Her face... Not just the delicate curves or smooth flow of her lips; she was lovely. No. What captivated me were her eyes. To this day, it is impossible to describe her eyes.

I tried to shake it off for the longest time. I'd try to pull my pranks. I'd try to grope her or any number of sexual advances that I knew would please me, but it always drove the servants away. I didn't mind, and, maybe because I'd always gotten away with it, I was becoming even bolder. Somehow, she was different. When I was about to pull one of my stunts, she'd always directly face me. It was as if...as if she knew. I'd always freeze in my tracks, lost and mesmerized by her eyes... She lasted the longest of the servants, and I often forgot to call her as if she were one. Eventually, she only called my by my first name. Before I knew it, we were acting and going out like a couple. I even found myself buying things for her. If we could have stayed like that, I would have been eternally happy.

In the course of time, I only could see things getting better. We were married. Father wore a smile I never saw before, and I knew it was because, for the first time since mother died, he was truly happy. I got a job, we found and apartment, and we started building a life.

Tenshi was born in the middle of spring. We decided on the name, in part, thanks to friends and relatives. He had this curiosity about him. I'm not exactly sure what it was. Maybe he inherited some of my abilities; abilities I didn't learn about until reaching the Seireitei. Whatever it was, he was a handful. Haha. I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything.

Rikka was, perhaps ironically, born in the blizzards of winter. Her brother was six when she was brought into this world, and neither child could be happier. She was born a little pale, and the doctors feared she might become blind. As long as she was happy, we wanted only to watch her grow and blossom. I was so grateful to have two children so well in tune with one another. They were my wife and mine very lives.

That hollow stole everything from me when Tenshi was fourteen and Rikka eight... They didn't even have the chance to experience life, and their souls were already stolen right out of their bodies. We cannot change the past. As much as I wish I could have saved my family, it may have been fate that I call Seireitei my new home.


Part B:
-A Life in Rukongai-


After witnessing the horrors of the hollow consuming my family, a shinigami found my plus body and proceeded to send me to Soul Society. I awoke on the streets of the Rukongai. I awoke as a broken soul of lost memories. I must have looked like a bum from the worst of the slums. I wandered, not knowing where to go or what to do. If I had had my wits about me, I might have taken up a job and done something for the Rukongai. As it was, I was found on the streets, unconscious, after the local gang roughed me up. Without even realizing it, I was adopted into a new family.

This family wasn't like my real family from the world of the living. It was composed of people brought together for a similar purpose. They came together in order to survive the rough streets of District 72. This particular family was quite large. If I'd have called it anything, it would probably be more like a gang. It wouldn't matter. I also had a sense to survive and make it out of this world, deteriorating into darkness. As I was brought into the family, I was given a singular task, a job as it were. I was to protect the relatives of the "boss" of the household. Basically, my muscles were to be used at the defense and aid of his wife and three daughters. I suppose any normal man would give up just about anything for this assignment. Whereas the boss' wife was loyal to him and he loyal to her, his daughters weren't spoken for and were pictures of feminine beauty.

Through the years, I rose through the ranks. I, however, remained the primary care and protection for the boss' wife and daughters. I cannot say that temptations alluded me. All three daughters...had a way of distracting me. However, nightmares followed me every night. I couldn't make sense of it. It wasn't until untold years of these wretched nightmares that a clue finally fell into my lap. I don't know if it was misfortune or plain dumb luck, but a shinigami was wandering our streets. I can't say why. To this day I'm not sure, but I know what happened as if it happened yesterday.

I was struck with sudden hunger pangs and feel unconscious. When I awoke, I was surrounded by boss, his wife, and his daughters. I was suddenly able to put together the pieces of my fragmented memories brought about by my nightmares... When I frantically looked to my left hand, boss sighed and produced a simple gold band from his pocket. He'd been carrying it ever since he met me, and he didn't have the heart to give it to me. Perhaps its more correct to say he wanted such a strong and talented man as myself to pick one of his daughters are my own and carry on as the head of the family when he could no longer be in Soul Society.


Part C:
-Path to Seireitei


It was not so simple after that. At that point, I was the boss' right hand man, and his daughters learned far too well their own temptress ways. They didn't exactly play fair either, so I can honestly say I never willingly betrayed my wife. At the same time, the logic of Rukongai dictated that such loyalty was faulty anyway. Whatever the case, I wasn't accepted as a shinigami just because I saw one once. No. This family quickly took me and hid me away, and they had the means to supply me with food. I never grew hungry or suspected anything.

My life was never hard. I felt myself growing stronger at an absurd rate. I was easily able to take on the hoodlums from the other gangs, and boss was quite pleased with that. I even managed to knock over one gang pretty much single-handedly. It's not that District 72 was the worst, but it was far from the best. It was among the poorest, and there was so much gang activity and "territorial" disputes that I could label it as nothing more than insane. The fact that I showed up only tipped the balance of power towards boss' family.

I knew I could topple boss easily. I knew I could escape to a better district, but I never did. I developed a certain loyalty to him, even to his daughters. Even with my memory, I learned what the fate of my living family was. Perhaps to drown out the sorrow, I drowned myself in this new family. The tip in the balance of power could only go so far before suspicions were raised. I was so dense that even within Soul Society I let my reiatsu spill out. It may not have been much, but it was enough to finally attract the attention of certain shinigami.

After a few visits and negotiations with my Rukongai family, I was taught how to form a zanpakutō and sent off to the Seireitei. The conditions were very simple for my assent to the ranks of shinigami. Because boss had broken several laws, he was forced to give up his "territory" to rival gangs. However, I was given the decision of what to do with boss, his wife, and his daughters. They were allowed to live, and they've become something of celebrity merchants in District 1. They're in a position, now, where I can visit them whenever I please. They can even request to visit me, but that has a bit more time involved in the process.

However things have turned out. my zanpakutō is the vow I've made to defend both worlds from the thread of hollow. I will not allow further families to be split or sent into such a horrible state. Though my zanpakutō has taken the shape of a heavy blade and is zealously over-sized for my reiatsu, I know I can use it to fulfill my deepest wishes.
