Personality: Touou is a calm young man most of the time though he has quite a temper. he only cares for people that are close to him...which isnt really many. after dieing as a human, he lost most of his "good" qualities, a person might say. He is also cocky at times, even when the upperhand of a situation clearly leans in the opposition's favor.

History/Backround:

Throughout his short life as a human, Touou was quite a happy boy. His life wasn't perfect but he had all of the necessities and most of his wants. He lived in a nice sized house with both of his parents and his two younger siblings. Though he had a pretty nice life, things weren't perfect. At school he was always made fun of for his intelligence and his attitude towards schooling. Many took their studies seriously, but Touou's was almost an obsession. He loved to learn...so much so that before he laid his head down to rest, he would crack open a text book and read over chapters that were not yet covered in class. He loved knowing...he HAD to know everything. Most people at school laughed at him for it and most called him a nerd. As much as Touou tried to not let it affect him, but what could he do? He was a child..All children wanted to be accepted for themself. They all wanted to have a lot of friends and be popular, or have a girlfriend/boyfriend. This deeply hurt Touou and though he never showed it to anyone else, he would also cry some nights before finally falling victim to the Sandman's loving touch. So day after day, he would wake up and go to school, each day wearing him down further and further until he finally snapped.

One rainy day, Touou woke up and got ready for school like any other day. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary today. Not even down to the painful torment he endured. But deep within Touou's mind, gears were shifting and screws were loosening. As the day went on he stayed completely qquiet and soon the bell for lunch rang. He got up and walked to his locker to get his lunch, not even knowing himself the act he was about to commit. He stood at the locker, placing in the combination. "46, 23,1-" Touou repeated the numbers to himself until he was interrupted by a water balloon to the face. Little did the other young man know, that Touou was standing on his last leg, and now it just snapped. Touou screamed furiously as he reached into his back left pocket, pulling out a swiss pocket knife and lunging towards his tormentor. He stabbed the other young man numerous times before stopping due to the scream of nearby students. He was almost in a trance as he stabbed and stabbed and stabbed. The blood splattered in all directions, landing on the floor, lockers, Touou's face and hands..Finally the scream of his secret crush awoke him from his treacherous deed and he began to cry fiercly. Realization had just kicked in and he now knew what he had done.

The struggled to his feet, pulling the knife from the young man's heart, sobbing and looking down to the motionless body and the pool that the body soaked in. He looked to the young female as she continued to scream and the hallway filled with students and held the knife to his own neck. A teacher ran up to Touou as quickly as he could but it still wasn't fast enough. Touou pulled the knife across his neck, deep into his skin, and the blood poured from his neck like a sprinkler. The teacher yelled for someone to call the ambulance and the last thing Touou remembered was the soft words of the teacher being spoken into his ear....."Its okay..You'll be fine. We will get some help here...It's okay..."

Unlike most, when Touou awakened, he was already in Rokugai...and now known as a 'Ryoka'. This new life was no better than his last, in fact it was worse. At least when he was alive he had a loving home and acess to food and water. Here, he had to scrummage around for food and get crumbs from anyone nice enough to share. While living this harsh life, Touou would wonder..Was his human life really all that bad? He would wake up every morning on the ground in the main street wondering this, until he saw THEM. The shinigamis..One day, Touou was rushed out of the strrt as the Ryoka communtiy had been cleaning and awaiting the arrival of the Shinigami Captain of the 2nd squad as well as the Lt. Touou knew nothing of the 'Shinigami' though his pride wouldn't let him ask anyone..For someone that was supposed to know everything, he couldn't let himself seem ignorant. So like the others, he waited for them to arrive, which didn't take long.

A few hours into Touou's day, as he searched for his morning meal, he heard a loud cheering coming from the main street. The knew that the shinigami he heard the others speak about had finally arrived. He rushed to the main street, looking into the crowd and breaking through to see...two figures dressed in such clean clothing. They wore these long black robe-like clothes and the captain wore a white robe over top of it, signaling his rank. Touou stared in awe, and as he tried to get even closer to hear the Captain's words, he tripped over another's foot, into the large cirling crowd right in front of the captain.The captain turned, excited to see someone before him and out of randomness, or maybe fate, the Captain began to speak to Touou.

"Well well well....What is your name young man?"

"Um, sir I am called t-Touou..."

"Well, Touou...It seems that my choice will be you."

The crowd of people became loud and booing could be heard. Touou was confused...he was late to the gathering and missed what the captain was saying earlier. Meanwhile, the captain stared into Touou's eyes. He knew something Touou didn't...and that was that he had the potential to become very powerful...but that could only happen if he honed and learned of the power he had.

"Choice?!? For what Sir?"

"To come back with me to the Soul Society and become one of the new shinigami.

Touou was speechless...He looked to see that there were two others chosen. One, a small girl and the other, an older looking young man. He hopped to his feet without saying a word. He wanted to ask more questions, but realized there was no need. For the first time in his life, he was chosen to be a part of something...something that others looked up to and respected. Touou immediately broke out in a smile and stood beside the Captain.

"Well, you three...Time to go"

The other two people answered with a yes and Touou nodded. All five of them turned around and walked away from the area, never to retun to this chapter of their lives. But now, onto the Soul Society...

When Touou finally joined the academy, he was stoked. He was back in school, a place he loved to be. It was a hell of a lot different, but school nonetheless and just like school on Earth, Touou excelled at it. All of his classmates looked up to him. Finally, he got the type of recognition he deserved..For one of the first times in his life....He was happy.

Touou soon graduated from the academy with the highest marks in his class and immediately received attention from many of the Captains. One of which was the captain of Squad 1. Touou accepted the offer and knew that he would quickly rise through the ranks and hopefully become the Captain of his squad one day.

RP Sample:

Touou sat under the oak tree in the park in human workd. His black hair wisped in the soft breeze and his crimson eyes staring at the humans as they lounged around. He sighed softly and propped his slouching body up as he felt an odd presence. It was obviously that of a hollow. He could feel the bloodlust, the hunger, the evil, being emitted from the poor soul. Touou felt kind of sad, as always when it came to the slaying of one of these beasts. He knew that not all of these hollows chose this path, nor did they wish for this to be their fate, but unlike him they allowed their past lives to hinder them from passing on..Touou closed his eyes and pulled out the standard soul pill for his gigai's safekeeping while he ventured out and swallowed it.

His soul burst fron the gigai and the gigai remained with its eyes closed for a moment before reopening them and glaring into the distance blankly. Touou yawned, now in his shinigami uniform, clearly displaying his Leiutenant rank on his left shoulder and his zanpaktou hanging loosely on his right hip. He smiled and looked to the direction of the weak hollow..

"Hmm, well I guess its time to go add another chalk mark to my list eh?"
