SHINIGAMI

Name: Alaster Sharpe

Gender: Male

Actual Age: 892+
Visual Age: 26

Personality: Alaster wasn’t always the cold and ruthless person he is today. There was actually a point in time where Alaster held more favoritism than his other brothers. Alaster was kind, carefree, and always looked out for Sebastian. There wasn’t one thing that Alaster wouldn’t do for his friends and family but as he aged he began to lose his peaceful and child like attitude.

After: the day Alaster was denied the crown his personality took a turn for the worse as he began to show the person that he could be. He became very angry and power hungry. As the years went on that Alaster was alone he became very cunning, sly, deceptive, and very prideful Alaster wasn’t afraid to show is true colors. Alaster was rude, arrogant, cocky, hateful and downright disrespectful to anyone that crossed his path. This being said Alaster had a revelation when he died, as he passed his spirit hovered in the room where he died and he was witness to the heartbreak that he had caused his once loving family, he saw the pain that he had caused and could no longer repair and this made him realize that the road he was headed down was not a good one however, with this being said he still shows some of his “bad side” to the people he feels deserve it.

Appearance: Alaster has the same look as his younger brother, or rather his younger brother looks much like Alaster. he stands tall and looks solid. Alaster has broad shoulders, a wide chest and finely toned muscles. Alaster’s body type is more built up giving him a solid appearance. There is one scar that marks Alaster’s face and that’s a scare the runs from the center of his forehead down through his left eye, this is a reminder of Alaster’s childhood spars with Sebastian.

Alaster’s face stays with a serious look nearly all the time, at a first glance someone could tell that Alaster has a rage within him that he wouldn’t mind showing, this said there is a lot of hate in his eyes. There is no facial hair on Alaster’s face and it is always clean shaven

Alaster’s clothing style also stands out from the other shinigami as it resembles what he wore the last few years of his life only following the black and white color scheme of the shinigami. His attire consists of a black long sleeve shirt that has a whit pattern on it, a long black coat(the front ends just below his ribcage, while the rest of the coat is normal length.) Alaster’s pants are the standard shinigami pants but with a twist, from just below the knee down Alaster’s legs are wrapped with tape which makes the pants seem baggy, the tapped portion of his legs are then covered by a pair of black boots.

Spoiler:

Zanpakutô Spirit: Michael the archangel, is basically one way to sum up the spirit of Alaster’s zanpakutou. Michael and Alaster look almost alike minus the fact that Michael wears golden armor with black etching in it to add to his prestigious looks. Michael is missing one key element to him and that is his angel wings which he has stated will return in due time.

Spoiler:

As far as personality goes Michael and Alaster are also similar, both have a lust for battle and strive to make one another stronger, both are level headed and calm, and both are serious though Michael is a bit more serious than Alaster.

The inner world in which Michael resided resembles a church that Alaster visited on numerous occasions during his self inflicted exile from his home. The church is very dark and often cold, the only light seems to seep in from the three large stain glass windows behind the alter.

History/Background: It is said that before the time of knights and kings in the middle ages, that the Sharpe family was a line of great warriors they were a bloodthirsty and power hungry bunch of savages until one of their own rose against them, his name was Gabriel Sharpe. There are many legends saying that Gabriel was in fact the arch angel Gabriel but many played the rumors off as superstition. Gabriel enlisted the help of his two brothers who he knew cared for their family as much as he did. Gabriel chose to raise against his family in order to save them from their own destruction and in doing so a war broke out that shook the very earth. The great war lasted for 3 years with each side taking major loses. looking at the destruction Gabriel had caused brought him great pain, he looked at the destruction and knew he was no better than his power hungry relatives. The next morning Gabriel prayed for the strength to defeat his family and rid the world of their evil.

When Gabriel woke in the morning he found a beautifully crafted and elegant sword that gave off a holy aura, it even sang as it cut through the air. Gabriel marched into battle that day with the sword and won the war that very day. With the war over and his relatives dead Gabriel swore to never raise his sword again, and a few days later Gabriel vanished from the face of the earth. Gabriel's brothers continued on and built a kingdom in his honor.
Gabriel’s wife gave birth to a boy a year after the kingdom was constructed. The Sharpe family soon gained a name for themselves and the story of Gabriel was passed down from generation to generation.

Now turn the clock forward about a hundred years and we are met with Warren Sharpe the father of James, Robert, and Sebastian. Warren was known as one of the most powerful and greatest kings around, many even compared him to the legend of his great ancestor Gabriel. Warren wasn’t to fond of being referred to as the second coming of Gabriel, he was far from being perfect and he knew it, he was the opposite of Gabriel, he had a bloodlust and a thirst for battle. Warren was as great a warrior as he was a king but his world changed when his wife gave birth to their fist son James, from that day on Warren vowed to be a greater king and to live up to the legend of Gabriel, from that day on Warren never once declared war on another country nor did he raise his sword to harm anyone. Warren was then given the gift of his next son Alaster and then again five years later when Sebastian was born. Warren made sure to make the Sharpe name one of the most powerful and respected families.

As a child Alaster showed great promise, there was something about him that his father admired. Alaster was a caring child and always looked out for his brothers and even his friends. Alaster was still only a child but he received a lot of training from his father, and though Alaster never to got to relish the feeling of being the youngest child he still held a place deep within the hearts of his parents, his kind and caring nature was something both Warren and Isabella were proud of, Alaster didn’t see his royalty as something to hold over his head, he acted like every other kid, sadly none of these feelings would last much longer. As Alaster reached his early teens he began to realize the true importance of power, he saw the respect his father commanded but refused to believe that it was from kindness and not from fear. Alaster continued to train with his father but there time together was limited since Sebastian was now stealing the spot light however, Alaster always found time to be at his fathers side and often asked him questions as to how their family came to power. Warren tried to avoid telling Alaster about the man he once was but Robert was so persistent that Warren eventually broke down and told Alaster everything, the stories of the way his father used to act made Alaster happy knowing that he came from a line of powerful people, he decided to isolate himself and train by himself, he didn’t see the need to train with his brothers because he saw them as being weak. It didn’t take long for Warren to lose faith in Alaster, he could see the kind of person Alaster was becoming and knew he couldn’t entrust the crown to such an out of control and power hungry person.

With each day the naming of Warren’s successor drew closer and closer and everyone in the kingdom was certain that Warren would name Sebastian as the successor. Alaster was sure that he was going to be named the next king, he felt that he deserved it more than James or Sebastian. The day of the ceremony, a large feast and festival was held in honor of the occasion and everyone from around the kingdom was involved regardless of their social status. As the festival progressed the people were anxious as to see who would become their future king and it was no surprise at all when Sebastian was named the successor however, what really surprised the guests and damn near the entire kingdom was that Sebastian declined his fathers offer to be king. Warren took to this news with a smile, he was a wise man and knew his son well enough to know what Sebastian was truly interested in, Warren looked at the crowed and nodded his head and then looked to his two remaining sons Robert and James and without hesitation as if Warren had known about Sebastian’s decline ahead of time James was named the successor instead. Alaster was infuriated at his fathers decision and stormed out of the castle and was later chased down by Sebastian who convinced him to come back.

ENTER THE DECIEVER- That night Warren was alone in his study looking over some documents when a knock came on the door, it was Alaster baring a try with two cups of tea, he said he was there to apologize for his action earlier and offered to sit with his father and just talk, little did Warren know that the cup of tea he drank was actually poisoned and that night Alaster ran away for good. In the morning a scream ripped through the kingdom and a wave of sadness over took its citizens, Warren had died that night in his sleep and left behind a grief stricken wife and a very young king, Sebastian was the only one who noticed that Alaster was no where to be found at the time, and it didn’t hit anyone till a day later when Sebastian accused his brother Alaster of killing there father. Now even though Alaster had managed to bring down his own father out of jealousy and rage, he knew all to well what would happen if he returned to the castle so instead of going home Robert took shelter in a near by castle. During Alaster’s self inflicted exile, he managed to stay low key and took frequent trips to his home to learn about the situation, during these trips Alaster managed to trick about a third of the army into rebelling against his brothers and three years latter that work paid off and Alaster started a coupe de tat however, as quick as the coupe started it was silenced by Sebastian and his dedicated soldiers who managed to apprehend Alaster. Alaster was locked away in the dungeon for four days until he was brought before his brothers for judgment. Two guards dragged Alaster into the large and intimidating throne room and threw him to the ground, they were ready to kill him on the spot but Sebastian stopped them “it seems you’ve decided to show your face after all these years brother” Sebastian said giving Alaster a serious look, Alaster simply replied by spiting on the ground of the throne room; Sebastian looked to his brother James, it was up to him to serve their brother a punishment. James let out a sigh and looked at his fallen brother “for your crimes against the king and for betraying your own family. I hereby banish you from this kingdom.” James gave Alaster a serious look and waved for the guards to take him away. Alaster was thrown from the kingdom, this infuriated him even further, he vowed to kill his brothers if it was the last thing he did.

Over the next five years Alaster was on the run, his brothers decided to show him no mercy and had placed a bounty on his head; Alaster put all the skills he learned from his father to the test, he in turn went from being the pray to being the hunter. Alaster’s show of courage and sheer strength caught the eye of many nearby kingdoms and as Alaster heard of his spreading fame a grin game over his face and soon a black cloud seemed to loom over the land. Using his new found fame, Alaster began to visit the neighboring kingdoms and began to collect defectors, each soldier was ready to give their life for Alaster, he had shown them a courage that none of them had ever seen.

Finally it seemed Alaster was ready for one more showdown, he gathered his men and marched to the front gate of the kingdom walls and prepared his men for the battle of their lives. Alaster began to pace back and forth and then his rage became words as he gave a speech to the man that stood behind him and with a single loud yell of the word attack, the massive army moved as one. The black mass of men looked like a plague sent to destroy anything in its path but, that plague was about to meet a brick wall, as the soldiers entered the kingdom grounds they were met with a military force so great that the battle became a standstill. With a small group of men Alaster rushed the castle and eventually made his way to the throne room where he was confronted by his brother Sebastian and the royal guard an elite group of soldiers hand picked by Sebastian to defend his brother at all costs. “hello brother, back to finish what we started? I‘ll tell you right now, there is no way you will beat me.”
“oh really Sebastian? Take a look around. my men are making quick work of your so called army” Alaster said as he slowly began to approach Sebastian “this ones mine boys” Alaster said as he unsheathed his sword. The Royal guard began to engage Alaster’s small force. Alaster turned back to see what the commotion was and then turned back to Sebastian who was half way through a sword swing “very sneaky brother. You’ve out done yourself, but its all for no good. Now you will die.” said Alaster as his sword clashed with Sebastian’s. Alaster looked at the sword closely and began to laugh “so it was real after all. I guess father wasn’t stupid after all for believing in such a tale.”
Something seemed to click inside Sebastian at the sound of Alaster’s words, he lunged at his brother and began to attack him, both seemed to be equally matched but Alaster knew better, “your soft Sebastian, that is why you wont beat me. And just because you have that sword doesn’t mean a damn thing……on the other hand I am more than willing to kill you” Alaster began to attack more heavily and more aggressively, Causing Sebastian to lose his balance at times and eventually Alaster found an opening and with a lunge, Stabbed his brother in the chest “see brother, it was pointless to hold back. Now you will watch as I kill James and take what is rightfully mine”
Sebastian was breathing heavily, he was slumped over his brothers sword but refused to die just yet, Sebastian then began to laugh a little “take a look around you brother….your little invasion is over, your men are all but dead and your standing here all alone.”
Alaster began to look around and to his surprise the royal guard had defeated his team and the rest of his army was falling back. Before Alaster could ever look back at Sebastian, he felt a sharp pain in his chest when he looked down and saw Sebastian’s sword sticking through his chest and backed away slowly, as he did so, Sebastian charged at him pulling Robert’s sword from his chest, with no time to react, Alaster was decapitated by a devastating swing. Alaster’s lifeless body hit the cold stone ground and Sebastian stood over it and threw his sword on the ground “you were wrong about me being soft. now you will burn in hell for you misdeeds.” A short time after Alaster died, his brother Sebastian died soon after.

It seemed as though all hope was not lost for the young man as he soon found himself in what he guessed was a spirit form, he looked on in horror at the chaos he had caused and though about the countless lives that had been taken all because he wanted a silly piece of mettle. Knowing this and then witnessing the pain he had caused his beloved brothers, the deceased prince wondered what waited for him on the other side, he spent yeas roaming the castle telling himself that was not worthy of passing on and that was why he was doomed to roam the earth as a spirit but, he began to notice the appearance of these nightmarish looking creatures, it turned out they where attracted to him, for what reason he was unaware of. He realized that the first few of these beasts that showed up where sluggish and relatively primitive, this information proved useful to Alaster who began to fend off these creatures, until he was discovered by a group of shinigami that had been sent to the area due to the high concentration of hollows and unusually high reading of spiritual pressure in the area.

The group realized the source of the spiritual pressure was Alaster and after they had dealt with the hollows they explained everything to him and then sent him to soul society.
The shinigami had told him about the academy and he figured that this would be his second chance, his way to right his wrongs. Alaster showed great potential in the academy as he excelled in each of his classes and propelled himself to the top of his class. When it came time to learn his zanpakutou name he was shocked to see that his was different from the others, he asked why this was but instead of getting an answer that just told him that it was just like one they had seen before. The words of his instructors puzzled Alaster but, he paid them no attention and focused on learning the name of his zanpakutou so that he could be even stronger.
