Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

~Personality~

Aikuro is an adamant believer in a code of ethics. However, his beliefs are completly his own, and he dislikes placing himself with the majority or under the rule of those he sees as unfair. He has his own personal views of justice that makes him seem harsh or blunt at first, but he is calm and empathetic at times. He easily trusts others and he can usually tell if someone is worth trusting or not, leading him to distance himself from certain people he finds untrustworthy. He tends to muse to himself, thinking of what goes on around him before adding an opinion, especially before those he respects. He has an odd habit of sometimes mumbling to himself aloud, which usually occurs after he has finished speaking. This is usually just him correcting any words he may have mispronounced, however he is known to sometimes quietly state things he may have left out of a conversation for whatever reason. Although he has his own opinions, he strongly values those of people he trusts, often taking their opinion over his own. He may seem easily influenced, but if his ideals are more beneficial to himself or others in the situations, he is known for silently agreeing with others, but still adhering to his own values. Aikuro can also be rather furtive, such as in his movements in battle or even the things he says or thinks. He is not an easy person to figure out, mentally.

~Bio~

Aikuro was born into a middle class family in Japan, long ago. The life of a merchant had been in his family for generations since the decline of samurai centuries ago. Where the family once served under clans such as the Satsuma, they'd now lessened themselves to more common people. The thought bothered Aikuro, as he could see that people like samurai were needed in a world where hardly anyone practiced restraint anymore. He spent many of his days with books, looking back on the history of his country and wondering if the days of warriors would ever return. What little training he could muster on his own, he put himself through. To his family's dismay, Aikuro rejected the timid life of a salesman and trained his body as an athlete. In high school he joined track and any kendo classes he could find. Though he excelled in these physical arts, it did not last long.

Aikuro grew a reputation for protecting those weaker than him in his school, taking it upon himself to reduce the amount of trouble caused by local bullies and the like. Through his reputation, he took a sort of pride in the fact that he tasted even a small semblence of what it may have felt like to be samurai. He used his reputation to protect friends in school and during classes of kendo. One night, after walking home from class, he was forced to protect a fellow classmate who had gotten into trouble with a local gang. After a night of drinking, the thugs had been harrasing everyone who happened to appear near their territorial bar. Aikuro stepped in without a second thought, defeating the initial group with little effort. Yet, once he turned to run with his classmate, he was gunned down, unable to fully protect his friend who shared his fate.

In death, Aikuro did not pass on because of his hatred directed at his inability to protect those close to him. He despised being weak and the very thought ate at him as he stayed near the bar, haunting each and every thug that came near the place. The ghost story that erupted only caused more thugs to appear in a way to test their bravado. Aikuro could do nothing more than stare as many people were harassed and/or killed near the bar. It did not take long for a hollow to come along, thirsting for the utter hatred that had begun to well up inside Aikuro. At that point, he'd welcomed complete death, although he did not know what the creature was, he showed no fear. He patiently await his death. A shinigami appeared to slay the hollow and easily sent him to the spiritual realm seconds after, all in a routine manner. Aikuro envied the shinigami, and once he got to the spirit realm he dwelled there for untold years before he discovered who the warriors truly were.

After finally being able to watch a few shinigami in action, Aikuro went directly to the academy, training vigorously to become a shinigami. His efforts were poured only into his abilities, believing a social life would come after he was able to protect people and do his job swiftly. Without batting an eye, he worked tirelessly to become stronger forever.

Division: 10th
Rank: Lieutenant Class

~Appearance~

Picture: Aikuro Kubochi
Description: Aikuro has no distinguishing marks aside from his uniform. Instead of the simple traditional one, he has sewn a silver ribbon along the neck and front opening of the kosode. He also tends to wear a hood, one that is not connected to the kosode itself and can be put on or removed at his leisure. He has a lean build that is toned but not bulky. His athletic nature shows on his body. His hair is short and black, often unkempt and falling onto his eyes.

Height: 5"11
Weight: 157 lbs.
Hair style: In earlier years, Aikuro had a habit of dying his hair on occasion. This trait carried over to his afterlife, however he almost never dyes it now. It is kept medium/long length, reaching past the back of his neck and just touching his shoulders. The front is a bit short, running just past his eyes, accenting his facial features.

Eye Color: He has deep brown eyes, with large irises. They tend to have an onyx look when covered by his eyes.

Usual clothing: He is always seen in his slightly customized customized uniform. The street clothes he would wear are simple. A dark jacket and blue jeans with a black undershirt.

Zanpakuto position: Aikuro holds his zanpakuto in his left hand on a regular basis. He has grown attatched to it, even though he has yet to fully master both kendo and the zanpakuto itself. He may carry it using the sash on his waist, but this is rare.

Reiatsu: 6/10
Reiatsu is given off unconsciously over a large area, the size of a large house is the center and stretches out over a few acres. This is when the Reiatsu becomes harmful to the opponent, hindering his/her combat abilities. It also starts to act as a shield, completely damage from low-level attacks.

Physical Strength: 7/10
Average Strength and Endurance. Can lift a large human, can still deliver attacks while sustaining near-fatal injuries.

Agility 8/10
Reishi particles can be condensed under the Shinigami's feet even when the user is upside-down, in relation to the ground. Though this provides no traction, it can be used to propel the Shinigami forward. Dashing can be done quite frequently and the Shinigami becomes faster. Shunpo can be done as well, though cannot be easily maintained over a vast amount of time. The Shinigami can also perform the fatal Senka, though is not quite so adept at this yet, the shinigami must also have at least 6-8 Zanjutsu points.
