-History: Born in the 15th District of North Rukongai, Soul Society, Takashi was raised with his brother and little sister by his father, after his mother died during child birth. Takashi, being the oldest of the children did a lot of work to help his father and even took care of his siblings when their father was working. Takashi and his siblings attended the local school, which was not much of a school, but enough to teach them the basics. While living in Soul Society, people would come and people would leave, especially when they went into the wrong part of Rukongai. Some joined the various street gangs and simply disappeared for no reason.
While in Soul Society, he saw many things and helps protect those who were unable to protect themselves from the various gangs that moved throughout Rukongai. Takashi has lived in both the 15th District of North Rukongai, in addition to Inuzuri, the South Alley of Flowing Spirits. While in Inuzuri, he was walking and ran into one of the numerous gangs that roam Rukongai and saw they were hurting a elderly lady and those with her. Being a gentleman, he stepped up and asked them to stop, which turned into a fight with Takashi receiving the scar he has on his left cheek. After the fight, with Takashi receiving the defeat and injury, he was treated by the elderly lady and once he was well enough, offered to help her and stayed with her for a few years.
After his time in Inuzuri, Takashi went to the Seireitei Academy, to take the test to become a Shinigami. However, his first five times he took the test, he failed, and before he thought of giving up, he took it a sixth time. On his sixth try, he was accepted into the Seireitei Academy. During his time at the Seireitei Academy, he would help those who needed help, and he got into a number of fights with the bullies of the Academy, and he was corrected for these fights and did extra work, but he still kept at what he did while he was alive, gaining him the Seireitei Demon.
Takashi's Inner WorldWhile at the Academy, Takashi would travel to the forests around Seireitei, and he would practice alone, when he came upon a large lake and decided to sit by it and meditate. As he meditated, the day turned to night and he stopped to eat and to rest, and begin a new the next day. Takashi had trouble sleeping, seeing so many images and once he was able to get to sleep, his dream took him to a different place. He looked around, and saw nothing but a dark grey forest with grey mountains rising off in the distance, and a full white moon hovering in the darken sky.
While in this unknown forest, this unknown world, he went and explored, to figure out how he got here, and how he would get back to Seireitei. As he traveled the forest, he noticed that the moon did not move and it always stayed in the same position, even when clouds came in. He traveled, stopping to rest as he climbed one of the trees to get some food. Once he was at the top of the tree, he looked and saw that he was surrounded by trees of all shape and sizes, while not too far off, he saw the Mountains that were rising from the forest. He went to use hohō, however when he tried, he was unable to and fell to the ground below the tree. He laid there as he looked up at the sky and became unconscious.
When he awoke, he felt the dew upon him, and saw that it was now a little more darker than it was when he arrived. He stood slowly, and looked around, hurting form the fall and began to travel the forest, listening and using what light came from the moon to see. As he walked, he felt cold, and saw that a fog was rolling in and pushing through the forest, and the sound of rain falling, as it hit the leaves of the trees. He continued and came upon the Mountains, and looked around. He saw nothing, but the mountains, the moon and the trees of the forest.
Meeting HyouryuukageWhile here, Takashi heard a noise through the forest, and he drew his Zanpakutō and turned, just in time to block an attack form a figure in all black, wearing a dark Kimono. The Female outline was very shapely and strangely had a octopus around its body. As she stepped further away from the darkness more details took place, her Kimono seemed to be very ragged and as it hung down lower to the ground it seemed to fade into shadow; designs of fans covered the cloth, and in its hand was a copy of Takashi's Zanpakutō. Nothing else could be seen of this figure as she attacked Takashi.
He defended himself, and also attacked back at the female figure, for many hours. The two combatants kept at it, each giving and receiving injuries, until both stopped and looked at each other. Takashi thought as he had not asked this unknown figure a question. "Who are you?" he asked the figure between breaths who stood and looked at him. This figure in black made no movements, until he raised his sword, and spoke to him. " Be quiet" with a quick flash the female lunged forward jabbing the sword at Takashi's chest, as the blade pierced the air Tak reacted instantly raising his zan letting it colloid with her sword.
Knowing the only way he could make it out of the current situation was to take a major risk, so with a quick flash step Takashi jumped steadily over the fallen trees landing in front of the female while simultaneously stabbing her in the chest, but naturally he wasn't fast enough she had caught him off guard with her own zan. As they both bled from the mouth Takashi asked with a smirk, " So what is your name.." slowly replying the women said "Hyouryuukage", and in that instant he awoke back in a familiar spot near the Seireitei were he had once been. From time to time Takashi and Hyouruukage in his sleep, giving the assumption that he is rather closely bonded with his Zan spirit. Soon after learning the name of his Zanpakuto he graduated from the Academy moving on to be recruited by the captain of the 9th division, from there he worked his way up to Lieutenant were he now resides.
-Roleplay Samples: As a Small Spark Of white light Formed At Stark's Back it Streamed out much like lightning Riveting Shooting out in many different paths, But staying constant It grew Thicker And as The bullet collided with The mass Of Light it simply disintegrated it instantly. The Bullet Not stopping the consuming light it Raged on ever more spreading Around Stark's Body, Scaring and splitting the earth around him The Light Circled around completing a full Sphere. As the Ball of wind Smashed against the Sphere it was easily Dispersed into Raw Reiatsu After Contact, And As the final attack Was already in motion The man with the metal body Attempted to Attack Stark but was simply stopped once more by the Intensely concentrated Light. As a Wave of light was fired from the sphere it brightly Blasted in attempt to blind and blow back the opponent Nearest, the intense Light slowly seemed to fade away Revealing Stark And The unknown Man.
At First Glance The Man looked almost Heavenly As He Bore the wings of a angel, and a great white light seemed to radiate around his body fluently. But showing poor posture The unknown was slouched over keeping his head down preventing the opponents from Identifying him just yet. Artemis stayed silent as his Dark black hair shagged down into his face, His Bright White Angel wings slowly rose out and fluttered. Coming out of his stupor he stood up cocking his head back, the black locks swung from his face wildly retaining a style that suited him well. He was a young man in his Late Teens he was exceptionally good looking and seemed to be very skilled at focusing light. Raising his right hand his sleeve fell back showing off his White glove that had markings and designs running around it, But the In a attempt to frighten the opponents Artemis simply pointed at the man who had seemed to be made of metal and stated, "your Mine....."
Letting the Awkward silence pass Artemis watched Null over closely, his eyes seemed to be fixed on him, Arty then was able to formulate a attack in less than a second. Keeping his left hand extended out The Quincy Flashed in a burst of White light, Appearing Directly in front of Null, Artemis seemed to Already have Manifested his light bow and was able to draw back a arrow and keep it pointed at the opponents Forehead. Being Faster Than Null could imagine The Quincy smirked in disapproval, While simultaneously letting go of the arrow that rested between his fingers. As the arrow released from the bow it had not far to travel it quickly reached a few inches away from the metal mans face. The arrow was made of pure light and could easily penetrate the strongest of defenses. Artemis flashed once more appearing back beside Stark.
As the two Teammates stood side by side it was a odd pair one being a Espada, and the other a Quincy one pledging loyalties to the dark and the other to light. But as The Quincy was Quick to act to the metal mans attack he simply flashed letting the Dessert Eagle bullet pass directly through him, as he flashed back to the same exact spot his pale skin glistened in the sun looking over the two Enemies Artemis spoke to Stark quickly before he formulated his next attack. " Whats the deal with the tin can? hmm he sure is offal slow" As the Quincy's eyes fixed onto The The man that Seemed to be able to manipulate wind, As Enkidu jumped down in attempts to to strike the Quincy with lightning soon failed, Artemis simply dispersed his bow putting his palm forward letting the lightning travel twords him. As it drew closer he quickly pushed out a flash of light that formed a Almost wall like defense in front of him that absorbed the lightning instantly.
As the wall of light dispersed it seemed to fade away slowly into Extremely Bright White rose petals, As the petals swarmed around the two They seemed to grow quickly in number. As they just started as a few they now ranged in the high thousands, The petals seemed to be oddly tied to a string of Attacks. But as the Wind Vortex made by the Second attacker only Increased the range of this attack it scattered the many Petals out making them rain down on the opponents like snow, As more and more started to come down Artemis Simply closed his fist. . . " Apparently were fighting a couple of idiots. . ." The petals That circled around Arty and Stark seemed to increase in speed spinning, making it almost impossible for a opponent to get by with out being hit by a barrage of the deadly Petals, but what was unknown to the two opponents was the cutting capability of the rose petals. They were so highly compacted with light particles they could simply slice through metal with ease, as they where controlled solely by Artemis he could shift them around letting openings for his teammate to attack. But as a specific wind barrier was put up for him he jolted up using his already amazing speed and bursting through the wind with ease he drifted above in the clouds he flapped his wings gracefully, still controlling the petals below he made sure stark was well taken care off.
