Personality: He is cheerful and shows greater concern for his team-mates and friends, placing their safety over the successful completion of a mission, as well as believing that teamwork is essential to overall success as a team. He is also regularly late for appointments, making obvious excuses. This is because of his frequent visits to the memorial where his brother's name is engraved, where he loses track of time. However, Kaien is carefree and emotionless, often speaking bluntly about sensitive topics.

Kaien claims to have lost everyone who was close to him, causing some reluctance to allow others to get close to him. Kaien has a rather solitary and matter-of-fact attitude. His calm and detached demeanour has been called “cool, hip, and trendy” many times by the few close friends he have. He also is the type who will kill when ever he gets in the mood to do so. Even though he is reluctant to let other's close. He spends some days in the rain thinking about how he could of had prevented alot of his mistakes from happining, but he tries not to spend to much time thinking about bad memories.

History/Background:
Sacrificing a family:
As a small child Kaien's life looked promising,he was well educated and even though his family was quite poor they seemed to get by just fine. Kaien remembers having an older brother however his name, face and what he was like are all lost to Kaien. The day Kaien's sister was born was when things took a turn for the worst, his true father died not long after leaving his mother to look after herself and two children. A little while later Kaien's mother had fallen in love again and things seemed to be going smoothly once more. Until Kaien's sixteenth birthday.

The family were happily sitting around the dinner table listening to their mothers new husbands tales of adventure and excitement, near the end of his latest tale there was a small knock on the door and everything fell silent. Kaien's mother was the first to stand followed by her husband and she made her way to the door with her usual gentle smile. Kaien and his sister quietly and patiently listened. suddenly. A terrible sound echoed around the room, a sound of a blade being drawn and piercing human flesh. Kaien panicked. He grabbed his sister from her seat and told her firmly to hide under the loose floorboard under the table. She did as she was told leaving Kaienout in the open. He remembered a small hole in the wall behind the cupboard nearby. He heard footsteps and didn't have time to think. He pushed aside the cupboard. Crawled into the hole and pulled the grate over his face.

What happened then would change his life forever. His mother stumbled and fell in the middle of the room. bleeding from a wound in her arm. Three men entered after her, two wearing black suits, the other his mothers husband watching without a word and without flinching as one of the men raised his sword and plunged it into Kaien's mothers chest. She fell dead. a long and eerie silence followed, which was broken by the treacherous husband "ok...she's dead...thats what ya wanted aint it now gimme my money" he demanded. While all three men chattered and argued Kaien noticed a floor board silently creek open. His sisters small six year old body began to carefully crawl towards him. "No, go back" Kaien pleaded in whisper but she couldn't hear him. Once she had made it past her own mothers dead body another sickening sound of flesh being torn and she too fell dead. Staring at Kaien with blank eyes and an innocent, sincere expression, a single tear escaped his sisters eye and that was it, her life had ended. Blood pouring from the wound in her back.

Kaien sat in his hiding place silently sobbing. He heard his front door open and then slam shut. he waited a few more moments before emerging from his hole. He pulled his sister's body over to his mothers and fell, weeping upon both of them, his tears mixing with their blood. "Kaien?....your alive my boy?" came his step fathers voice from behind. And then in a fit of rage all went black. When Kaien came too he was standing over his step fathers destroyed and beaten body. A sword in his hand and drenched in blood Kaien dropped to his knees. And took his own life.
Fooled, robbed and betrayed:

Do you know what its like to be alone ? Truly alone with nobody there for you, no friends to turn to, no family to take care of you. Being hunted just because you know how to survive ? I didnt think so, this is whats its like to live in solitude.
Kaien upon entering the soul society had lost all memory of his human life. His mother was nothing but a huge smear of different colors. His sister was simply a pair of watery crystal blue eyes followed by a huge blot of crimson. A grave carved out of wood, polished and covered with roses was all Kaien remembered of his father and his step father had been completely wiped from his memory.

Kaien had really drawn the short straw as he passed through the soul check in counter of the soul society. He had been informed that he was going to be sent into one of the many districts of rukongai, they were numbered one to eighty with eighty being the worst. The worst in what however Kaien had no clue. A small slip of paper had been handed to him by a man dressed in black and sporting a rather dangerous looking katana. The paper read “district 78, rukongai” and in an instant he was carted off like some kind of unwanted refugee.

The next thing he knew he had been thrown through a huge pair of wooden gates barred with iron bolts and reinforced with steel to prevent escape. The moment Kaien’s teenage body thudded down onto the dusty dirt road the gates had shut and sealed themselves. He was alone. Looking around at the broken buildings and defaced landscape Kaien could tell that living here would definetly be tough. His first thought was to find shelter and plan his next action and so finding a small run down warehouse with nothing but a few crates and a flea bitten mattress he settled down and calmed his nerves with sleep.

Days, weeks, maybe even months passed and Kaien still hadnt seen a single soul. He didnt dare move from the entrance to the 78th district fearing what he might meet if he ventured in too far. Upon returning home from his daily patrol of the area, attempting to find any signs of life he was shocked to see a girl around the same age as he, sleeping on his mattress. She lay on her stomach with her eyes closed and her head facing towards him resting upon her arms.

Her slick shadowed hair was tied into two ponytails, each one sprouting from either side of her head. She had the body of a perfect slender sixteen year old, limbs sprawled out upon the mangy mattress. She was clothed in a dirty white rag which Kaien presumed was once a posh dress gown however the frills had been torn away and worn with use and there were occasional rips or tears in the dress. Her smooth blotless skin was a darkened ebony color, her face smudged with dirt and a few cuts and bruises here and there. Despite this however she seemed quite beautiful as the shape of her head was heart like, rounding slightly as it came to her chin. Her cheeks were elated with a slight plumpness. Small, petite lips held in a tiny “o” formation as she slept a light drizzle of drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

An hour passed as Kaien sat with his back against the cold stone wall simply staring at the ebony skinned girl in front of him. How long had it been since he had seen another person, he no longer felt like he had been abandoned, he no longer felt alone. After months of living on his own and wandering the streets aimlessly, slowly losing himself and becoming a hollow shell this beautiful young girl came out of nowhere and rescued him from the darkness. A flicker of long black eyelashes and a light drowzy groan escaped from the young woman as she began to rise from her peaceful slumber.
She sat herself upright, leaning on her left arm and rubbing the dust from her eye’s with the other, since she was lying on her stomach Kaien hadnt really noticed it but her chest was plump and rather impressive for a mere sixteen year old. “HEY!! Pervert, those aint the orbs you should be lookin’ at” the girls voice brought Kaien to his senses, she sounded light and majestic apart from the aggresive undertone that she chose to adorn however a good point of her was that she had the same english accent as Kaien.

“I-im sorry” Kaien stammered as he averted his gaze towards the girls eyes and surprisingly he was drawn in by them. They were golden and seemed to resonate with a ferocious yet inspiring aura something that made him feel like he could continue and conquer his new life in the slums. “Nah, its awright after all it aint everyday a lil spit fuck like you gets to see a wonderfully pretty girl like me” her tone of voice and the way she talked was extremely crude, then again it was expected from somebody who lived life on the streets.

“Wots your name ?”
“E-excuse me ?”
“Well i cant keep callin’ ya spit fuck for the rest of your afterlife can i ?”
“My names Kaien.”
“Mines Aldestina”

Even though this strange girl was rather rude and spoke with little care for what other people thought of her, something about her seemed to strike Kaien. Despite having only just met she was incredibly friendly and didnt really seem like a bad person, her outgoing attitude acted as a beacon of guidance to Kaien. She was somebody he could easily count on. They had spent the rest of the day conversing and Kaien explained his situation of being alone in a place entirely unfamiliar with no memories of his past life and only a few trinkets to ponder over. Aldestina only answered with small nods and the odd rise of one of her thin dark eyebrows.

Not long after Aldestina had told Kaien about another building not too far from their current location inhabited by a small gang of teenager’s who only want to be able to live easily and not in fear of everything else around them. To Kaien this seemed like a good idea, a whole gang of other kids with the exact same idea as him and there was safety in numbers. As soon as they were ready the two ventured deeper into the 78th district, moving as fast as they could to avoid conflict with the other menacing residence that gave them sinister glares as they passed by. “Make no eye contact and dont even ‘fink about stopping” Aldestina instructed Kaien with such seriousness he didnt even dare look at her.

One minute Kaien was staring down a deserted high road, dead fields on either side complete with a withered tree, the sky growing dark and daunting. The next he found himself in complete darkness as he stumbled to the side. “welcome to my humble abode” came a sly voice, Kaien whipped his head around but it was hard to see anything through the darkness. “Now that your here, we shall have to kill y-OW!!” a few scuffling noises and then finally a huge thud followed by Aldestinas voice. “Clown you jackass, hes with me!!” she scolded and slowly the lights flickered and Kaien’s eyes were invaded painfully forcing him to squint.

Three faces were all staring in his direction with warm and comforting expressions. Aldestina was standing over a rather lanky looking boy with her fist raised, a huge red mark had been smacked onto the boy’s face. “I told ya not to pull that crap” she warned before returning to her usual straight backed posture. Suddenly voices began to whisper amongst themselves and talk as if Kaien wasnt even present.

“Who the hells that guy ?”
“He doesnt look like much”
“Hey Grimm what do you think of him ?”
“I couldnt care less”
“I wonder if he can cook a decent meal”
“What are you saying about my cooking !!”
“SHADDAP!!!”

Aldestina bellowed and instantly everybody fell silent, clearly she was the alpha wolf in this pack. “This is Kaien, hes a new addition to our group so hit the dance floor and ill introduce ya” she added and right away there were three people standing in front of him, all of which came from different directions as if they were scattered and hiding like rats.

Aldestina had stepped away from her previous spot and stood directly beside the young man she had previously punched in the jaw. “This idiot is Clown” she said, gesturing towards a young boy with long blonde hair that straggled all over his shoulders and lanky features, he bore a huge impish smile across his face. “Getting friendly with Aly already huh?” he chuckled, only to be elbowed in the stomach by Aldestina before she moved on to a large looking guy with huge arms, he looked like he could squish Kaien without even trying. “This is Brick” she introduced placing her slender fingers on one of his shoulder’s. “So, um...can ya cook ?” he asked with a hopeful look in his eye and scratching the head that was hidden beneath his huge black afro. Kaien gave a small nod and watched as Bricks features lit up with happiness. “This is Missy” Aldestina muttered with a slightly elated tone as she stood beside a small girl who sported a white apron her red hair tied back in a bun and a rolling pin latched between her fingers. “We’ll be having soup for dinner” she smiled happily but her face became morbid as she saw Bricks expression of disgust.
“And finally that guy over there” Aldestina pointed out a guy dressed entirely in black with thick shadowed hair and hunching over as he sat on a small box in the corner. “Thats grimm...its best to just leave him alone for a while.” She advised.
It couldnt have been better Kaien was happier than he had ever been since coming to the soul society, he had found a small group of kids just like him who had been tossed into this world without a second glance. A few years passed and finally Kaien had gained his own nickname in the team. “Rain” as he loved being out in the rain and would spend alot of time in the rain . It was his job in the group to gather resources, which meant he had to steal from local street vendors in order to provide the things they needed to survive. Over the years they had accumulated a large amount of treasures and provisions and things couldnt be any better. But naturally nothing good ever lasts.

Kaien’s latest score had been a small golden statue of a dragon and a bag of apples. He rushed home to introduce his new treasure to the other guys, he flung himself through the warehouse doors. All he was greeted by was the soft whistling of the wind blowing through a desolate and deserted floor space. He atempted calling out, but no reply came. He searched the warehouse and the surrounding area but none of them were in sight, not even Grimm who very rarely left the warehouse. Upon searching the storage crates he found that they had been stripped bare, all of the silver and golden valuables he had collected over the years had been stolen by none other than his own friends. How could he be so stupid. The districts of rukongai were numbered with the highest being the worst for a reason. They were filled with hoodlums, murderers and most of all traitors. He released the bag and the dragon from his grasp, letting them drop to the floor with a clatter and fell to his knees. Kaien had lost everything and had gained only one thing: he had learned that “Nobody could be trusted.”.

Shinigami Life:
He'd always love to watch as some of the soul reaper's came out of the Seireitei to entertain the children there. It wasn't an everyday thing though, most soul reapers were too busy to ever even step outside the great walls. Kaien had grown rather attached to a young soul reaper that had been entered into the ranks of the 11th Court Guard Squad. The man had told him stories of what it was like going out on missions and fighting hollows. Kaien had loved such stories and often wished he'd one day get a chance to become a Soul Reaper. That day eventually came; Kaien started taking classes at the "Shinigami Academy".

Kaien had an average understanding of Kidō and swordplay. The most talented skill he had though, was his quick reflexes. He was fast, really fast. Other more skilled sword fighters in the academy were even at a loss simply because of their slower reflexes. Many teachers said that if Kaien would practice making his attacks inflict more damage and put more effort in learning kidō, he'd make a great Vice Captain some day. Kaien eventually completed his training and applied to Squad 11, after his old friend, who had been killed in action only a few short years prior to Kaien's graduation.

Roleplay Sample:
Kaien Shiba Vice Captian of squad 11 was hunched over on all floors, his body arched in agony. He couldnt understand what was going on it happened so suddenly. A few weeks ago he had felt a little under the weather and had taken a few days off from duty, after that the feeling gradually grew worse. He began to ache, his scars old and new began to burn, his body felt like it was being stretched from every possible angle imaginable and now, now it felt like something was inside of him trying to break him apart and leap from his corpse.
A roar left his throat as a fresh wave of torture broke out over his body. It blazed from his legs to his head as he struggle to stay conscious. The sweat from his brow fell to the ground as he tried to fight the pain, to will himself to stay awake and live through whatever this was.

Kaien screamed himself hoarse for a good while, suffering and enduring but the worst was yet to come. A horrifying blood curling scream radiated through the warehouse as the final wave hit his body. Suddenly his screaming began to distort and shake as if two very different people were roaring out at the same time and then a great white substance burst forth from his mouth, his nose, his ears, his eyes all the while his cries continued. The white material began to engulf his face as it choked him, it covered his forehead like a crown and plastered his right eye with a black diamond shape which strangely enough he could see through. Blue markings began to paint themselves upon the surface, swirling from the crown to the middle of Kaien's face. Slowly the world became black as Kaien slumped over and passed out.
