• Personality: (How does your character act? Think of the different types of traits that make your character who they are and write 1-2 paragraph's at least in this section for it.)
Shouhei is a kind person who wishes to protect those who can't protect themselves, and prefers to solve conflict with out the use of violence, however if he has no other option he will do what he must to preserve the peace. The people who fight him can tell if he is taking them seriously if he takes of his white overcoat. He has had trouble interpreting the meaning of others actions in the past and as such he tries to keep his emotions to himself. But, because of this people who meet him for the first time may make the mistake of thinking that he is an uncaring individual that looks down on others. Those who take the time to get to know him however discover things that they would never have expected. Shouhei is very open-minded, and when asked to talk about serious matters his friends know they can trust him with what ever secret that they have as long as it doesn't threaten the lives of the people who are important to him.

Shouhei doesn't like to use Hadō because if used incorrectly it can be just as dangerous to the people you are trying to protect as it is to your enemy.

• Likes: Training, Fruit, Books, Relaxing, Bakudō, Training others to defend themselves

• Dislikes: Incorrect use of power, Hadō, Bullying, Hollows

• History: Shouhei was born to poor family is a small town in Japan. they had nothing but a small house and were always hungry, when he was ten Shouhei became sick and when his parents got him to a doctor they were told that he only six more years to live. However Shouhei was a stubborn child and would not give up, every day he did his best to stay healthy so he could make his parents proud.

Seven years later and he was still standing, still giving it his all in order to survive. It was during this time that he began to see and hear strange things, some nights it was strangers in black robes jumping from roof to roof, other times he would be talking to someone and when his friends would ask him who he was talking to he would tell them and they would just laugh and tell him to quit joking, and the worst times would be when he would hear the screams in the distance they would chill him to the bone and it was on those nights that he would get no sleep. Shortly after High School he meet the girl of his dreams she thought he was funny and he knew she was beautiful she was perfect!

It was four years later when it happened they had been married for the last three years but he was getting worse, every day it was harder to go to work, harder to smile some days he couldn't even move because of the pain he was in.Its time! the baby is coming! was all he could think Shouhei was panicking he didn't know what to do when the got to the hospital, the doctors wouldn't let him go in. You can't just leave me here and not tell me how she is doing! They didn't reply. As he went to the vending machine to grab a snack his body was wracked with pain, more pain then he had ever felt and he then started to cough up blood. He never got to meet his baby girl who was born two minutes later.
As he was living in the Soul Society he found that many people in Rukongai where he now lived were extorted and attacked with no real repercussions, he would not except this and started protecting the people as best he could. After 3 years of doing this he made a name for him self and joined the Shinigami Academy. Where he later graduated with high scores.

• Roleplay Sample: It was too Quiet; the Shinigami knew he shouldn't have let his guard down but he just couldn't help it, after all he was home. It had been seven years sense Shouhei had walked these streets last and it felt like he had never left, his old friends still knew him he had talked with the people who took care of him after he had first arrived in the Soul Society for so long that he had lost track of time. Shit! if I don't hurry i'm gonna be late. he herd them before he saw them Show your selves, we are civilized people after all i'm sure we can talk this through. Shouhei knew better then that of coarse as the man that was trying to hide was a criminal who he had beaten before he had went to the Academy and this man wanted revenge.Sigh, well don't say i didn't give you a chance to walk away.
