Miyagusuku Akito

Basic Information

Name: Akito Miyagusuku(say it backwards for traditional Japanese feel)

Actual Age: 150

Appeared Age: 15

Gender: Male

Division: Division 13

Rank: Lieutenant

Looks:

Akito stands about 5 feet 5 inches in height, weighing in at 110 lbs. He has a rather delicious looking tone of cream for his skin, which matches well with his sapphire-blue eyes and long, golden-red hair, which he keeps tied in a ponytail with a pink ribbon. Upon him, he has been branded with a tattoo of raging black flames that seems to spread out to his shoulders and the small of his back, a Hollow's skull placed in the center. Due to this, most Shinigami have become concerned and keep their distance from him. This is one of the things that effect his personality.


Like every other Shinigami, Akito must wear the normal black and white Shihakusho, the official uniform for those who are part of the Gotei 13. However, there are times when he chooses to disregard the rules, and dresses like a normal commoner from the Rukongai. Because of this, he is considered laid back, and sometimes even disrespected. Captian Byakuya Kuchiki, is especially one who does leers his eyes at the sight of something so unbecoming of a Shinigami, thus, thinking it a disgrace. However, Akito has also one over friendship with Captain Shunsui Kyoraku for dressing freely and taking it easy every once in a while. But, at the same time, he's had to avoid accepting an offer for a drink time-to-time.


Now, one factor of this boy's appearance that may either intrigue you, or strike you as awkward, is the fact that Akito was born as part fox. Upon his head, are a pair of fox ears, that act normally like any other fox. They twitch rather cutely to the sounds around them, or when they are being petted or touched. And just a bit above the boy's rear, where the tailbone normally ends, is a rather large fluffy tail, with a pink ribbon tied at the base by Captain Hitsuygaya's Liutenant, Matsumoto. Cute, yes. However, it's because of this that he's either teased a lot, disrespected, or even treated cruely for being 'part beast'.

Personality:

Akito is a young light-hearted boy who could probably be described as the purest Shinigami, due to his kind and loving soul. He shows plenty of affection and friendliness towards all of his peers, comrades, and superiors, even to the seemingly cold-hearted Byakuya Kuchiki. Yes, it would certainly seem that he is the most innocent of Shinigami within the Seiretei. However, because of this, he tends to be quite submissive, and easy to manipulate. There is a darker side to him however. If he or his comrades fall into mortal danger, he becomes deathly serious, and sometimes, even terrifyingly angry. Moments like this cause his personality to alter into a much more deadly warrior, and sometimes, he becomes slightly more manic at the sight of blood.

Now, there IS something that Akito tries to hide, though most Shinigami can tell it right away. You see, he has a slight crush on Byakuya, as strange as that may seem. The reasoning being because the good Captain was one of the first to show him any form of kindness, and seems to have taken a liking for their common backgrounds. However, this is not something Akito wants to let on about. At least, not yet. When he feels the time is right, he may finally open up to his top-ranking superior, and let him know how he feels. Until then, he'll just turn beet red and maybe start yelling out of denial for a bit.

Another little factor that Akito hasn't told anyone except for the Captain, is that he fears one thing in the whole Spirit World; Being alone. Yes, due to certain events that took place in the past, the young Shinigami has come to fear being left by himself. To be more specific, he's afraid of not having any friends, or even someone acknowledging his existence, because he feels as though he has no purpose in his life.

But all in all, Akito is a very spirited individual, who loves life more than anything else. His favorite saying of all time, is "Nankuro naisa: It will all work out."

Sexuality: Homosexual

Relationship Status: Single and looking


Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Akujiki

Zanpakuto Looks: Normally, Akujiki is a medium-length blade with a dark-red cloth wrapped around its handle.

Released Zanpakuto Description:

Kage no Getsuga(Shadow of the Moon’s Fang): More or less, this is a rather dark version of Ichigo’s Getsuga Tensho. However, it greatly lacks the sheer power, but is faster upon release. By rapidly compressing his Reiatsu, then releasing it at the point of momentum in his swing, Akito can easily launch a wave of black energy towards his opponent.


Zanpakuto Release Phrase: "You, who lurk the shadows to spill the blood of thine enemies! Reveal yourself, Akujiki!!"

Released Zanpakuto Looks:

Once Akujiki has been released, Akito's Zanpakuto does not exactly change dramatically, but still, has that bit of an effect to it. The white steel becomes pure black, slightly larger and thicker in mass, as well as the guard and handle. The guard reforms into a japanese character that when translated, means 'Love'. This gives a sense that it is reminding the user, no matter how much power they gain, or decide to use, to never forget to love himself, as well as others. Upon the black steel, mysterious runes are engraved within its metal, giving off a faint red glow, like it were thirsting for something.


Bankai Information
This applies to captains and advanced lieutenants only.

Do you want your character to have bankai: Yes, but this will be later on in the RP. I wish for Akito to grow before giving him something as outstanding as Bankai

History and RP Sample

History:

Back when Akito was still living in the Rukongai, he wasn't exactly one to be part of the group, per SE. His parents had abandoned him at birth, because of his...unique features. He was quite lucky to have another family willing enough to take him in and raise them as one of their own. When he reached the age of fifty(five in human years), he was left to fend for himself, once more. It was only after that, that he figured one thing: Nobody wanted him. His very existence was meaningless. There was...no purpose for him.


Another twenty years went by, and he was nearing the end of his rope. He was becoming so thin, that he looked like he would completely wither away. His eyes had dulled to an empty, lifeless color, showing no hope within them. It seemed as though the kitsune was going to die. That was until, HE showed up. Captain Jushiro Ukitake found him wallowing around in the dark corners of Rukongai, obviously suffering from starvation, and all around lack of nutrition. With his current state of mind, Akito was expecting for someone of such high calibur and respect to just brush him off and walk away. However, the man was kind enough to provide him with food for at least another week, as well as something else. A Gotei 13's approval into Yamamoto Academy! To say he was shocked at such a wonderful gift would've been an understatement of the first magnitude! The last thing he heard from Ukitake was, "I expect to see you in the Academy once you're older. Hopefully by then, I shall be able to accept you into my ranks." The young kitsune shed tears of pure joy that day, thus promising the good Captain that he would make it into the Academy, and excel passed all expectations, all to join his ranks...and be with him.


Another hundred and forty-three years passed, and Akito had already made his way into Yamamoto Academy. He was already one of the few top-ranking students, and was constantly praised by all of the instructors. He had even managed to make a few friends, friends who were happy to see his unique features. But of course, he also made some enemies, because his appearance was 'somewhat beastly'. But none of that mattered. Akito was turning his life around. He was finally happy. Then, one fateful day, Captain Ukitake had come to the Academy, with the intentions of finding himself a new Lieutenant. And it just so happened, Akito was the one he had in mind, just as he had said, so long ago. To say the kitsune was overjoyed, as another understatement. He was finally apart of his hero's ranks...he was finally with the one who he truly liked.

RP Sample:
Note: This is a post I used in a thread on an RP site dedicated to the Tales games. It's pretty recent, so no worries.

It was cold. Way too damn cold. Why did he have to get that letter from his family telling him he'd been requested? And in friggin Shyth of all places? Jeez, luck was just not on Rain's side as of late. Things weren't working out between himself and a certain someone, so, he decided he'd resume his travels and do his best not to think a whole lot about him. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Such is the torment of the emotion called 'love'. But in any case, he figured he'd go to Shyth and partake in this dance like they requested, being the fact that he could really, REALLY use the Gald right now. But seriously, WHY SHYTH?!

The boy didn't really have any wardrobe fit for wintery climate, so the best he could do was purchase a heavy cloak that would hopefully keep him warm...hopefully. However, that was not the case, as the cold winds howeled through the air, blowing back the garment which revealed the young fox in short clothing and fur boots. Not the best choice on his part. However, he'd keep pushing himself to reach his destination, not caring an awful lot about whether he'd wind up sick or not. That's just how he was. Never truly thinking of himself, as long as he could do something to make other people happy. A somewhat inspiring, yet sad sentiment.

Very soon, he came upon the large mouth of a cave, the large stalagmites hanging above giving off the appearance of a beast's open jaws. He proceeded into the cave, keeping the cloak around his body to regain some of his body heat. It really was too cold for Rain's tastes. Why couldn't this dance have been requested somewhere nice and warm? Like Hatech? Or maybe back home in Velukai? But no. It had to be friggin Shyth, the coldest continent in the world. He sniffled a bit, thinking that there better be some good pay out of all this, or he was gonna pitch a fuss.

Fairly soon, he arrived within the epicenter of the town known as Tayth, the marketplace being its central mainframe for all forms of business. It was definitely much warmer in here than it was outside. Too bad he'd hafta go back out in it when his night's work was all over. But, as long as he'd have a form of travel stories to tell, he supposed it wasn't all bad. "Auu...now which one was it?", he asked himself aloud as he wandered the streets. "Hmm...the fam said it would be the largest building here...so...oh! This must be it!" Within a matter of minutes, he'd already found the building he'd been referred to. An incredibly large building which served the purpose as an Inn and a Tavern in one. "W...wow! It's like a monolith all on it's own! Which means....there'll be a lot of people..."

He shivered a little bit, only to shake it off as he walked inside. Now was not the time to get cold feet! No pun intended. In any case, he walked up to the front desk, asking for the owner of the place. The moment he came out, he gave him an awkward look, like he was something straight out of Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks. Rain ignored it and introduced himself, presenting the letter of request that he recieved from his family. The man looked it over once befor handing it back and directing him to one of their most expensive rooms, but he'd hafta pay since he was a boy. The fox looked at the owner blandly, rather annoyed by such a sexist comment. However, he man was able to save himself with a hearty laugh, passing it off as he told him it was a joke. Oy ve. Some people... =_=

In any case, he was also informed as he made his way up that he'd be sharing the room with someone. Wait...sharing the room? He wasn't informed of this by his family, so he figured he'd have a space all to himself. Guess that wasn't gonna be the case. But he didn't mind. As long as the person didn't give him any grievances, he could deal with it. As he walked, he couldn't help but notice the many fliers informing of another show for tonight. How curious. If Rain didn't know any better, he'd say that he was more than likely going to be sharing a room with another dancer. Then again, he wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, and this moment was no different as he continued.

Finally, he'd reached the room he'd be staying in, opening the door gently...to find clothes strewn about the room. He flushed brightly when he took notice that they were women's clothing. He'd be sharing a room with a female?! This was going to become rather awkward for him, since he didn't have much taste for the opposite sex. But still, he could deal with it. So long as nothing too awkward happened. In any case, he'd need to prepare if he was to perform tonight. He was required to not only dance, but to sing as well. He hadn't had much practice vocally, so he hoped his vocal chords would be able to hold out for a whole night.

"Auu...so cold..." he said with a shiver, setting his bag down on the bed. His body still hadn't recovered its normal temperature, so he was chilled to the bone, so to speak. His ears perked up at the sound of water, looking over to the bathroom area. "Auu? Well, now I know where she is..." he said softly. Then a bit of a dilemma came to mind. If his roomate, so to speak, was in the shower, then that meant he'd have to wait his turn. Of course, he didn't really want to, but, he couldn't just barge in on her. That would be rude! But he was so cold.

"Auu...I guess I can wait...", he said to himself, gently flopping back on the plush matress, his eyes closing as he sank a bit into the rather comfy furnishing. "Auu~ This is nice~" he said softly, his expression very similar to '=w='. However, it was a little too comfortable, as he started to drift off to sleep. Either that, or a cold could be setting in.
