Name Issun, Bachiatari (last, first)
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Rank: 0
Specialists: Armed Combat Specialist/ Advent Specialist
Appearance:
Bachi stands at five foot nine inches tall, making him somewhat average. His body has a skinnier frame, but he makes up for it in lean muscle, that can can him more attractive, to some. Out of choice, he keeps his faintly silver hair down to around half an inch long, just short enough that he doesn't have to mess with it. His hair seems to compliment his eyes that are a rigid grey, with specs of brighter silver. His skin is slightly tanned, darker then the average person, but still pale in comparison to anyone serious about their tan. Over many random portions of Bachi's skin are scars, many from knives and other sharp objects. The most well defined of these scars are on the knuckles of his right hand (his main punching hand) and a knife scar on his face, moving from the right side of his chin, all the way up to his right eyebrow.
For clothes, Bachi likes to keep things light and comfortable. When it come down to pants, you will rarely see him out of somewhat baggy jeans, and when you do, it is usually cargo pants. Over his chest he picks solid color T shirts with a light jacket, the kind with a zipper down the front and a hood. He likes to keep his broken katana in one of the belt loops in his pants. With all this, he likes to keep the colors darker, blacks or dark greys. On very rare occasions Bachi likes to wear a suit, although he can't afford a good one. The one that he owns is a dark brown, with minor cuts along the sleeves. The pants that he has to go with the suit also happens to be a couple inches too short, adding attention to the scuffed up black shoes that he wears with the attire.
Advent Affinity: Shinigami
Power Focus: Broken Katana, the blade broken to only 5 inches long.
Advent Human Power:
Name Reiatsu Blade
Level: Low
Description: The user, holding the broken katana in at least one hand, focuses his willpower and reiatsu into the katana. It is then focused into the blade, where it extends the length of the blade with pure reiatsu, that then hardens into a light blue metallic substance. This blade is capable of holding it's own against a sealed zanpakuto, but has one major downside. Every hit it deals out or blocks weakens both the user's willpower and reiatsu, effectively weakening the user till the point of collapse. Although all hits dished out by the blade weaken the same amount, hits blocked weaken the user more the stronger the blow that is blocked. If a hit is strong enough to break the reiatsu blade, it creates a minor shockwave, just strong enough to push back the attack that broke the blade.
Restrictions: Advent Human only, Katana missing more then half of blade, Shinigami Affinity
Transcendence: None... Yet
History:
Bachi was born in Tokyo, Japan, and had an easy enough early childhood. Getting into elementary school, he was an overall average student until the unexplained death of his father during his fifth grade year. With his family falling under harder times, Bachi's grades slipped, even into high school. He also got into many fights in high school, taking them as a good excuse to keep up a decent build. He went so far as to join the school kendo team to learn how to more effectively use sword length weapons better. Although he wasn't the best on the kendo team, he made it regionals two years in a row, getting second place in his second year.
Getting out of high school, Bachi was much of a loner, not really holding down a solid job. Becoming very good at odd jobs around Tokyo, he soon fell in with some of the less reputable people in town, and kept up his fighting ability. He was mostly an enforcer, the guy that was sent out to make sure that certain places payed for a little protection. When they didn't want to pay, he showed them why they needed the protection... in their own store. Although most of the time he just needed to break a few things to get people to change their mind, some people underestimated him based off of his thinner frame. This lead to most of the fights that would leave permanent scarring. The longest fight he was in lasted almost ten minutes, and gave him the scar on his face.
After a couple years working for some people that he was beginning to resent, Bachi received a letter from a grandparent in Karakura Town, requesting to see Bachi before he died. Seeing this as a good excuse to leave his bad reputation behind him, Bachi left Tokyo and met with his grandfather, severing all ties that he had, including with his mother. At their first meeting, Bachi's grandfather gave him an old family heirloom, a busted katana said to be a few hundred years olds. Out of respect (and for possible self defense), Bachi decided to keep it. After a few months with it, Bachi grew a liking to the old broken thing, and the good memories of kendo in high school.
Shortly after his twenty first birthday, Bachi had an experience that would change his life: he was attacked by a hollow. Only barely able to see the hollow at first, Bachi defended himself with the only weapon he had on him: the broken katana his grandpa gave him. Of course, the five inch blade wasn't really a good way of defending himself, and he was knocked around and rather beaten within minutes of confronting the hollow. To his luck, before the hollow could kill him, a shinigami took advantage of the hollow's focus on Bachi as a meal, and dispatched the hollow with a sneak attack. With the shinigami leaving as quickly as it had came, Bachi made his way to a hospital, to have his wound looked at.
After recovering at the hospital, Bachi felt a strange strength, and wondered about the beings that he was barely able to see. After a couple months without anything unusual, Bachi ran into another hollow, this time in the process of it attacking another random victim. Being able to see it in full this time, He knew he needed to make a sneak attack, not being able to go toe to toe with the beast. Taking out the broken katana as a weapon once more, he felt the new strength he had leave him, and his Advent power emerged. A full bade in hand, he attacked the hollow, and was able to do enough damage to make it retreat. After that event, he did what he could to train his new found power, and began trying to find out more about this new world he had stumbled into...
