Kaiden Rezain

Name: Kaiden Rezain
Gender: Male
Age at time of Death: 23
Current Age: 65
Appearance: Kaiden stands at 5'7" inches and weighes 150 lbs. He has light blue eyes, so light that they border on a grayish color. His hair is a light brown color and has been cut to a very short length, not quite a buzz cut but very close. Even though he isn't the biggest, Kaiden is very strong and has a very athletic build, not at all scrawny or puny as a first glance would seem to indicate. Kaiden is not a showy person and because of that all his clothes are extremely plain, simple black pants and a sky blue shirt when he is not in his basic Shinigami uniform.
Personality: Kaiden is a very pragmatic and rational person, always choosing his words very carefully, when he chooses to speak at all. While he likes to be alone, do not confuse this with him being anti-social, in fact Kaiden is an extremely kind person. In the same vein, Kaiden will help anyone, but he usually only does so when he has been asked to help. Beyond that, Kaiden is steadfast and resolute in his beliefs and one of the few things that he truly can't stand is those who take the easy way out and don't stand strong.
Biography: Kaiden was born and raised on southeastern coast of the United States. Upon his graduation from high school, his father got a new job in Tokyo and would be moving. His family thought that Kaiden would stay in America and go to college, but he figured that he had his entire life to be on his own. So, to stay near them, Kaiden moved to Tokyo and went to college there. Even while in America, Kaiden had been doing some minor studying of Mixed Martial Arts and he continued his training in Tokyo when he wasn't busy with school and work. Kaiden never trained with any weapons, only ever studying hand to hand combat. Other than that however, Kaiden lived, for the most part, an entirely uneventful life. Shortly before graduation, Kaiden died in an unfortunate car accident.
Upon arriving in Soul Society, Kaiden was sent to live in West Rukongai 45. It didn't take him long to understand that he wasn't in the best of locations, but at the same time there were worse places in Soul Society to live in. Kaiden essentially picked up in Soul Society where he left off in the real world, living a mostly uneventful life. Of course, fate seems to have a funny sense of humor and decided to step in.
Kaiden's silent nature and oft time’s blunt comments didn't endear him to anyone and on a few occassions got him into some fights. It was a mere coincedence that one day two shinigami, one from squad 7 and one from squad 10, happened to be passing by when a group attacked Kaiden. For a second the two thought that they would have to step in, but Kaiden turned the tables. His fighting style was crude, lacking the refinement of those with even the most basic Hakuda, but something about the way Kaiden fought got the two shinigami thinking that he might be able to pass the Shinigami exams at the Academy. He as visted by an academy official one day and, after a breif discussion, Kaiden was offered the opportunity to try to become a Shinigami. At first Kaiden passed on this, but the official gave Kaiden a few days to think it over. What changed over the course of those few days no one really knows, not even Kaiden is sure of why he decided to give it a shot, but a few days later Kaiden enrolled.
Zanpakuto Appearance: The blade of Kaiden's Zanpakuto is 18 inches long, while the handle of the blade is 6 inches long. The handle of the blade is wrapped in a red fabric, which has a black fabric overlay on top of it, with the threads of black fabric crisscrossing over the red fabric. The sheath has the same design as the handle. At the end of the handle is red tassel.
Kaiden is considered unusual for the fact that he is oddly proficient with his Zanpakuto, despite having had no previous training with any kind of weapon. Kaiden uses his Zanjutsu and often blends it together with kicking attacks to create a unique fighting style. Despite having trained in Mixed Martial Arts in the Real World, Kaiden can't recall any of that training, consciously or subconsciously. Though he is learning Hakudo at a faster pace than most, his skills are still slightly below average.
Kaiden has absolutely no skill with Kidou in any way. He has no ability to control a Kidou attack and has had difficulties with even the most basic and simplistic Kidou's in training, some of them backfiring quite frequently. Almost as in keeping with his pragmatic nature, Kaiden also tends to move fairly slowly and deliberately. Though agile, Kaiden always makes sure to have a solid footing first and, like his words, chooses his stance very carefully.
