| Application | Naito Rei <8th Division>
Note: I used to RP a hollow character quite a while back but now I would like to change to the side of the shinigami.
► Name:
夜 テッド魂
Naito Rei
Night’s Spirit
► Gender: Male
► Age:
Age 7 upon entrance to Rukongai where he remained until 15 awaiting the day he was brought before the Daikokubashira Academy for evaluation. After his training he kept such details secret.
► Appearance:
Rei’s most striking feature is his dark black piercing eyes which will mockingly follow everyone across the room in the fashion of an eerie portrait. He is relatively short at 178cm with a well toned body surprisingly muscular without the appearance of being so. His short slick hair is a dark ominous grey and glistens a mysterious silver in the moonlight. The Lower half of his face is normally obscured by a tight fitting black facemask.
Everything about his appearance is more streamlined; including his Shinigami shihakusho which he dons. It binds visually more tightly and has a black hood attached to enable him to further hide his identity and characteristics. There is a red ribbon tied to his left arm that flows freely in the wind, which he has adorned ever since his first days in the academy. Its purpose is undisclosed.
► Personality:
Rei doesn’t enjoy conversation, he doesn’t want to hear your life’s story but he’d much prefer to listen to the last breath ooze softly out of your limp dying lips. His social conduct is minimal as he aims to remain unnoticed, gladly lazing about in the shadows contempt in their clutches of bleak ambiguity.
When he does choose to engage in conversation he speaks his mind and will not flinch at the consequences. Having only really experienced joy in the form of others suffering, it is possible to classify his grasp on emotions mildly, as lacking. Not to say he is a heatless demon as such; Rei feels strongly about respect and loyalty as he practically devotes himself to the people he chooses to associate with.
This apparent cold clarity is also exhibited in his method of combat. Once engaged in a fight he regards sanity to be for the weak as Rei sheds its callous bonds embracing the fanatical madness of blade strokes he relies primarily on his speed to confuse and conquer his enemies.
► Biography:
Current Memory:
Life in the Slums:
It was only in death that he finally began to live. The slums of Rukongai offered him rebirth and Rei took it. Starting off as a simple pick pocket he patrolled the streets hording minor fragments of wealth, each day his reiatsu growing stronger.
At 13 he became a black-market fight champion in West Rukongai district 79. By putting on the charade of a little weak boy then dispatching his opponent in 1-hit - at the same time betting heavily on himself, he became a small rural legend. It was this reputation which brought a shinigami to sneak into the lower districts to watch one of Rei’s late night fights. However once the shinigami noticed the uncanny reiatsu emanating from the kid, Rei was dispatched to the Academy for his testing.
In the Academy:
It was at this time, for some strange reason Rei shrouded himself in a cloak of solitude. Concentrating on his training he surpassed near to all others in most classes par that of what the shinigami called kidō. Rei trained with feverish ferocity to become flawless in his Zanjutsu and Hohou.
►Division applying to:
8th Division
► Zanpakuto appearance:
The katana is relatively short spanning not more than 50cm in length. The blade is around 40cm and entirely pitch black save for a small sliver strip along the awfully sharp blade edge. The guard is small and simple not drawing attention to itself; however the handle is wrapped in dark grey satin and has what appears to be a pitch black knuckleduster emanating out of the guard and connecting to the bottom of the handle. The rarity about this Zanpakuto from others is its scabbard. The blade remains hidden within Rei’s right sleeve and can be released blade first. This is useful for swift assassination purposes.
The zanpakuto matches Rei's combat style very well, being adapted for quick silent attacks Rei is able to fight in short bursts retreating to the shadows to make his next onslaught. Rei rarely uses demon arts and believes that flying purple sparks are the toys of children not for those who practise death. Due to this attitude he had paid very little attention in his kido tuitions and as a result he is poorly skilled in this area.
