Personality: Ochiba is an intelligent person. He is very good with mind games, and enjoys messing with and manipulating simple-minded people. He isn't very confident, though he also knows his own limits and exactly how weak he is. Ochiba doesn't like to be serious, but is very wise deep down. He enjoys playing around and joking with people, choosing not to show his overall maturity and wisdom. Deep down he has a great sense of moral judgment, a vast amount of wisdom, and a sagely air about him. This side of him only shows when it has to, and if it does everyone had better be serious as possible. Ochiba has a great amount of self-control, and a large amount of patience. He can deal with and befriend almost anyone, but he can also make mortal enemies just as fast.

Appearance:
Ochiba is young-looking, and handsome. He wears his hair short and green, matching his eyes perfectly. His face is always decorated with a smile, showing off his brilliantly white teeth. With thin eyebrows and cat-like features, some would describe him as more beautiful than handsome. He has a lean build, not very big in height or girth. In gigai form Ochiba wears a pair of old, cut up, jeans. He is always wearing some oldies band t-shirt, and a leather jacket or button up shirt that is unbuttoned to reveal the t-shirt underneath. When he wears a jacket it is jet-black and basically a trench coat. He wears black combat boots, and in gigai form always carries a butterfly knife in his shoe. His gigai form hides the tattoos on his face and chest. While in shinigami form Ochiba wears the traditional shingami robes. On his right cheek and chest are tattoos from his past, ones that he wears with pride.

History/Background:

Human Life:
Ochiba was born to a poor family, and saw many things at young ages he shouldn't have. Living in the poor neighborhood, he was surrounded by violence and drug abuse. Ochiba saw death every time he leaved the house, and had to face it very often later in life. His parents were good parents, who tried to raise him right, but they were terrible people. They were judgmental, mean spirited, and general asses. Ochiba would constantly tell himself that he wouldn't end up like them; he would be much better. With that hope in mind he entered the world. Diagnosed with depression, Ochiba was placed in therapy and given pills. He refused to take the pills, calling them "unnatural". Ochiba began to hang out with a crowd of people who got in violence often. He was the first to jump in and help a friend, and the last to fall or run from a fight. Ochiba would live in the neighborhood his whole life, taking over the gang and getting a job as a professional fighter. He died at 21 in a gang fight, stabbed by a kid who had got behind him and stabbed him when no one was looking.

Becoming a Shinigami:
Ochiba would wake up in the rukongai, a child. He grew up with a gang similar to the one he had spent his life with. However, this gang was bent on becoming shinigami not delinquents. They marked themselves with tattoos, saying that once they got into the SS they would be able to find each other again from those tattoos. The day after they got the tattoos they split up to find their own way. They believed that the only way to get strong enough to join in was to travel and train on their own. Ochiba took to the mountains and trained himself there alone. He became quite skilled, testing himself against traveling warriors as they came upon the pass. He was weak in kidou, but amazing with a sword. So, before taking the exam, Ochiba took another ten years to train his kidou. He would pass the exam and enter the academy. After four years of training in the academy, he joined into the 6th division.
