Try to keep light of most situations or try to look on the bright side of things. Often enough he is on the grounds near to insubordination at times, he likes to make jokes based on many things Bakuto loves a good fight, sparing, taking on anyone or anything in a fight. Before becoming a soul reaper Bakuto liked to scrap with anyone with simple fist fights, now he has swords, new skills and new enemies and plenty of other things to fight. While fighting though Bakuto does often get lost in the thrill of the fight, and often likes to play with those he is fighting with. [b]Backstory[/b]: Bakuto's background. he is a and was a bit of a vagabond/ruffian. Bakuto was a man who 'collected' debts for a loan shark that he once owed money to. Be got this job after beating up the previous 'collector'. Bakuto was relatively good at his job but he owed the loan shark a lot of money. He had a heart of gold and often lent people money after borrowing it from the loan shark. Being the middleman, but kept whoever he gave money to but being the fall guy having to get the money back. This also led him down the path which led to his demise, taking a job that he couldn't finish. His loan shark was ready to collect his debts out of Bakuto's own hide So in the end Bakuto went and got beaten nearly to death. To the point that his soul left his body. With the soul chain still intact. [b]Why did you become a Substitute Shinigami[/b]: Why did Bakuto become a soul reaper? After he died, he was hunted by a hollow. It was a blessing in disguise, as it stopped him from fully dying. His fallen debt collectors that were beating him to death were the first things the Hollow attacked. It tore them apart His first hollow, it looked like a pigman monster kind of thing or at least that is how Bakuto remembers this. A normal person's reaction to seeing a monster is to run, he did not punch Bakuto fought this monster, with no powers and freshly dead this went as one can expect, he nearly died while he was already dead. The hollow nearly consumed him if it wasn't for the Shinigami that saved him. Because he had no chance in beating the Hollow. It was more less hitting a grizzly bear with a spit wad. His fists did nothing. His only saving grace was that Hollow was already being hunted. That and Hollow toyed with him, playing with its food before going for the final kill. The Shinigami killed the hollow with ease. After the Shinigami saved him he then yelled at him for trying to fight the hollow with his bare hands. Bakuto had made a joke somewhere around saying "Should have kicked more right?' Something about Bakuto and his bravado saw him as a choice for becoming a substitute Shinigami then was given the offer. Bakuto had laughed it was at this point he was now jobless and did not have much going for him so he said yes to this whole deal. After a bit of healing and quick first aid to prevent Bakuto from fully dying the deal was made So he became Substitute Shinigami /soul reaper because he had no other choice. Giving his life a better meaning other than shaking people down for money now he can fight monsters like the hollow that attacked him.

It is a two part staff that is connected by a chain that can extend out Bakuto’s reach when he attacks with it with a big of range, The range is nearly equal two his own reastsu if now half of what it is in. – Y [b]Ability[/b]: (what is the ability? What can it do?) ame no habakiri It is a lighting spear/blade. Its ability is subtle at first, every time Bakuto strikes with it, it builds up energy and gets faster. With the kudayari grip he can use leverage to make the blade spin or ‘dance’ in a circle as he strikes. As it gets faster the energy build up becomes visible along the point and edges of the blade like electricity at full speed. It looks like a circle laser-like ring but it is only an optical illusion as its speed makes it look like a circle or ring of light/lightning. Burning and cutting through things as it speeds up more and more after each strike. [b]Zanpakuto Spirit[/b]: (describe their appearance and their personality. Most zanpakuto have goals and unique relationships with their wielders) There are currently three spirits that reside within Bakuto’s zanpakuto. One current has no name or at least one Bakuto can hear. This spirit has almost no form other then it is a silhouette, a shadowy human figure. This is the main spirit of Bakuto’s zanpakuto and its will and personality dominate the other two zanpakuto spirits to shape Bakuto to the way to make Bakuto a more worthy master. The unnamed spirit creates the other two. First is Ame no Habakiri, the white serpent like dragon. A dragon that is as fast as lightning, that lights up the sky, Reflecting Bakuto’s it has a narrow-minded personality, but its main job is to open up Bakuto’s creativity using what he has to its fullest power. The other is still unknown by name. Bigger and much bulker a black dragon. It is big, strong and lacking in speed. Yet it has killing intent. This one acts like an executioner and when its being used there should be no holding back. No regrets, think about the attack before attacking. The main driving force of the spirits is to get Bakuto to become worthy to unlock his true zanpakuto. Not wanting to be used by a novice but used by a master that can understand and use the weapon to its fullest potential. Refusing bowing to Bakuto until he can prove to be a worthy master of him. Thus creating two others to teach and aid Bakuto to guide him into becoming potentially able to wield the true form of the zanpakuto. [b]Inner World[/b]: Bakuto's inner world is a group of samurai temples on top of a mountain surrounded by a giant storm where the mountain sits in the eye of the storm. The main building in the middle is surrounded by a storm, winds, rain, and lightning preventing anything from entering. Each spirit has their own temple while the one for the mystery shadow cant be seen through the storm the other two are visible. They become more visible as Bakuto gets to using the weapons more often.[/hider]
