_________________________________

• Personality: Kaveh, or Sasaki as he prefers being called, is a very quiet man. However, from his pores of existence, it seems like arrogance itself flows out of him. Many are off put by this absolute arrogance, when in fact it's just self-confidence to the point of perhaps being a fool. However, it never seems as if Sasaki is disrespectful : he simply speaks the blunt truth and his mind, no matter who it is or why. He doesn't hold back on his opinions, and is in essence a wanderer type : however, he seems to be tied down to the Gotei. Kaveh has a very strong, independant streak, refusing to rely on anyone unless it is needed, and even so, has this sort of stalwart strong heartedness that does not allow him to doubt others. He never seems to regret anything he does, simply because action does not equate belief. It's a simple concept for him, but he never explains it. Kaveh has this sort of sadistic pleasure in fighting, enjoying opponents stronger then him : even though at times he seems relaxed and just flighty, unconcerned with what's going on around him, he's quite aware. Very analytical and very meticulous in his ways. Where he enjoys to give and recieve pain to an almost sexual level, he also loves a good discussion. In general, Sasaki is just a closed off person, with a high sense of duty and confidence. Strangely, this unwavering doubt seems to be present in his teammates abilities. Once he reconizes someone as worthy to him, he has the uptmost faith in them. Almost like a creepy fatherly type faith. Although this should indicate that he has honour, Kaveh will win at all costs : that includes using poisons or underhanded tactics. He's also very officient at sneaking around, having quite a large arsenal of thievery. Even so, Kaveh refuses to give up without a good reason : this ties into his confidence, but often he finds no reason to turn tail and run. If anything, he has to will to stand up on broken legs and find himself fighting once again.

• Likes: Order, Battle, Blood, victory.

• Dislikes: idiots, false ideals, holding back

_________________________________

• History: Kaveh was born around 1980 : he knows that much. He actually lived not in japan, but Tokyo : which at the time was still owned by Great Britain. However, his father was not japanese, and thus he was a half-blood. But it didn't matter : Kaveh was born with black hair and piercing eyes. He was a strong boy, as his father was a militant : he learned how to keep his head afloat, and how to fight. Never mentioning the spirits he saw, he strived to protect others with his hands : his ideal was his alone to have, as Kaveh was pretty much a normal boy. He got into metal, and started wearing skin tight clothes and leather : and many thought it was a phase. He never grew out of it, and instead, looked more beautiful and dangerous because of it. He knew he died somewhere in his early 20's, but other then that he doesn't seem to care much.

Although, if one were to look at the tombs, they would notice his mother died when he was around 5, and his father's name was engraved because of marriage, marking his death when Kaveh was 10. However, even in the records, there was no mention of his adoption. And Kaveh changed his own last name at that age, disapearing off the map until his death. This more or less meant that Kaveh lead a hard street life, considering he went to america, and dealt with things there. He became a pick pocket and a theif, and he also did all he could to survive, fighting constantly.

However, he died, and wandered back to japan in spirit form : because he only had one regret. That he could never come back home. His strong will kept the chain from rotting for a long time : it took around fifteen years before a shinigami found the male, leaning against his own gravestone in Japan. The shinigami was surprised, as the male just gave a smile. Without much ado, that's when Kaveh was brought to Soul Society. The chain had been on it's last link, so it wasn't suprising when the male seemed confused about his name. However, the people that took him in briefly gave him the name Sasaki, since he seemed mythical to them. Accepting it, he grew easily bored in Rukongai, before heading off towards the Academy.

However, he failed the exam so many times : it's because he couldn't find interest in it apart to solve his own boredom. But one day, the fool went to the human world, and well, got into a pinch. The same shinigami that had preformed Soul Burial saved him : in admiration, and realizing what the shinigami stood for, it spurred Kaveh's own ideals to rise once more. Without ado, he suddenly rose : succeeding the examination, and then learning squad life. Transfering from divisions, he had not learned his shikai yet : he went from 11th to 9th, and finally found his way into the 2nd division. He prefers it here.. but he knows that maybe that will change when his shikai arrives. Kaveh simply wishes to continue serving.. no matter what.

• Roleplay Sample:

_________________________________

• Reiatsu Color: Dark red, almost black

• Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Tamashi

• Inner World: Tamashi's inner world is a single school. The building is complex and large, and anyone entering finds themselves at the gate. It is a recent model of a large school, so it easily has technology and even more so, it seems suited. There are a lot of people there : so many think they were dropped into an actual school. These people are actually breathing things, and even more or, they seem to be speaking and acting : and if one looks at the people, they could even reconize some from stories or pictures. There are a few of these people that are faceless until a person enters the inner world : then their own spiritual memories fill in faces with those that mean the most to them. The school is comprised of 5 buildings, including an art facility, an athletics facility, a scientific facillity, the dormitories and the main school itself.

• Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance : The Zanpaktou itself is a long katana like weapon, and is actually longer then normal it seems.

• Sealed Zanpakutô Abilities:

-- Home of the Lost --
Kaveh is a natural attractant for souls. They will naturally be attracted to him, and this makes it hard at times for him to hide in the human world. Particularly souls with no directions or memories will find themselves near him, as his very soul length moves out like a rippling wave at all times. It takes no energy, but those of a spirit body or have spiritual natures will easily take to him like fish to water. This is because of Tamashi's very nature. This also allows him to absorb or house souls other then his own. In essence, Kaveh can take in a soul and let them survive longer in his body, or let them use his body as a home base. As such, it is not uncommon to see souls shifting to and out of him. Those that do make a bond with the male and accept his body as a home can shift into spirit mist, as to better move through dimensions and areas. He himself cannot use anything the souls have : however, he can talk to them much like a Ziamichi would.

-- Erased Soul --
However, at times Kaveh needs to be completely secret. Therefore, in a sense, he can erase himself. This is more or less misdirection : he redirects people's attention away from him, and nullifies his presence. Misdirection is simple : like for example, if Kaveh wants to move forward, he will cause dust to rise or throw something away from him, so that the person's attention is shifted onto that rather then he himself, allowing him to ninja into the space. This allows him often, to go right into ranges without a care in the world. However, if misdirection doesn't work, then the whole idea is flawed. He can also suppress his natural presence to the point that people don't even notice him until he physically speaks or brings attention to his presence. The combination of no natural presence, as in lack of being, and misdirection, can be deadly. However, it is not a long use ability, since people will get used to it the longer they are exposed.

• PhatomTech: Phantom Tech ''Thanatos''
• Phantom Tech Abilities: -

• Phantom Tech Powers:

-- Twisted Rage --
Kaveh seems to be able to only use one aspect of his Phantom tech thus far : and that is as such, the ability to unleash a torrent of dark energy. If Reiatsu is the Yin, then Sasaki stores the Yang within him, and unleashes it with Thanatos. This energy is in general unstable, and thus mostly used in mass drives, but it is actually materializing energy. As such, the energy itself is solid : so it can block attacks and harm people. This energy feeds primarily off his negative emotions, mainly rage. However, the energy itself doesn't seem to be much other then physically there : Sasaki has the instinct that something more is there, but he cannot quite put his finger on it. The energy is physical, and moves like tentacles : it can wrap around, grab, flatten, fatten, elongate, etc. It is just a sort of general fill all, and moves upon Kaveh's mental command.
