Basic Information
Name: Atama Ryūkōtei

He tends to keep his emotions bottled up, allowing him a clear head, in order to deal with problems more efficiently. He cares little for the struggle of power, instead just living out his days.
In battle, Atama is the same as before. Cold, and calculating. He does show his enemies respect, when he fights them, and will compliment them for a good move. Atama is not afraid to kill, however. He is also confident in his own abilities, but he doesn't constantly mock his opponent because of this. He will try and end a fight, as soon as possible.
Atama is somewhat neutral to all of the other races. He is loyal to his own race, and his family, even though he seeks to supplant the current head of the family, no matter the costs.

Fighting Style

He is a Katana wielder, and a good one at that, having 800 years of experience under his belt. Atama also has a good Hierro, which he uses to his advantage. He keeps calm and collected, and he is rarely taken by surprise in battle. He socializes battle, to a graceful dance, and hates anyone who interrupts his dance.

Appearance: Atama's hair grows to waist-length with shoulder-length bangs framing the sides of his face, the left side hanging partially over his left eye. His gloves dissapear, turning into bright red traditional armour — similar to that of samurai — worn over a simple black suit. This armour was constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body, in particular: chest, waist, shoulders and thighs. The armor acts as an average Hierro, as well. Atama keeps his katana, as well.

Back Drop:
Background: Atama doesn't remember his first name, before he became Atama Ryūkōtei. He remembers being born, into constant war, and bloody battles. He was saved from fighting, by a mother he no longer remembers. However, no matter how much they ran, they could never get away from the tragedy of their life. He remembers a older brother, but he died. His father, dead. His mother was the last one to die, when he was 15. Struck by grief, unknown to him at the time, he picked up a fallen katana, and mercilessly killed his mother's killers. However, that did nothing to fill the void left behind. He decided that day, to create a new family, and protect it, no matter the cost. He took up a new name. Atama Ryūkōtei. And so began his families redemption, and the beginning, of the Ryūkōtei Clan. He soon became known across the land, as a one man army. Even with a new name, he had no one to fight for. So, he had nothing to lose. He fought, always he fought. Battle after battle, war after war. He never found anything to do, with his family. He was, in all terms, a mercenary. He fought for the highest bidder. And they usually won, unless Atama lost interest. the money really didn't matter, and, when the person who hired him got angry, and sent killers, Atama killed them. That all changed, when he met his match on the battlefield.
Another war. Something about killing a Noble's son. Atama didn't care, he just fought. Everyone, and everything fell to him. But, one sword struck out, and blocked his blade. Atama was surprised, if only for a second. Backing up a bit, he attacked again, only to be blocked again. Atama felt something in his blood start rushing. He had found someone, anyone, who would deny him. and, he felt a happiness. He had found a worthy opponent, and he would fill the gaps in his heart, with a battle unlike any he had been apart of. For hours, the two fought, each only causing minor wounds on the other. Even when everyone around them grew still, the two never stopped. Engaged in a beautiful dance, of swordsmanship, and death. However, it all came to an end, when the other swordsman, who was masked, slipped a bit. Atama took his chance, and sliced upwards. The other swordsman dodged, if only to have his mask ripped from his face. Atama stared on, in wonder, when he saw a woman, glare defiantly at him. He stopped moving, taken by surprise of the fact a woman had matched him. Crouching down, he gazed at her, noticing she was quite beautiful, even with the filth of battle on her. He smiled, for the first time, in many years, and reached his hand out, to help her up. Staring at his hand, she was amazed at how Atama had behaved. Taking his hand, somewhat hesitantly, she was helped up. Atama knew, then and there, that she was meant to be with him. He spoke, for the first time, since his mother had died. "Join me. Become my family. Become a Ryūkōtei." This seemed to shock her, and she turned her head, somewhat embarrassed that someone would ask that. However, in the end, she agreed. Atama learned that her name was Kurieta. After that, they left, and started the Ryūkōtei Clan. Things would never be the same again.
Atama lived up to his promise, all those years ago, always protecting Kurieta, and she protected him. Together, they were unstoppable, and they soon became the most wanted hired bodyguards, in Japan. They, at one point, protected the Emperor. It was many years, until they finally stopped, and settled down, bringing up the second generation of the Ryūkōtei's when they did. Using the money that they had, they built a Clan House, in which they could all live, and be happy. Life was peaceful, for a time. An occasional attack, but Atama was still feared, and respected for a reason. Any who attacked, felt the edge of his blade. His firstborn son grew, and eventually went to war. Atama had grown older, and he couldn't fight like he used to. Tragedy would strike, when a messenger arrived, and told them that Atama's son, had died. Atama couldn't believe it. That night, was a night of quiet remembrance, for his son. He never forgot it, but life had to keep going. Soon, a small village had formed around his home. The Ryūkōtei's became a known, respected clan, and Atama lived to good, ripe age. It was when he was close to death, that Atama felt the calmest. He knew he was about to die, and so did Kurieta. Atama spent his last day on Earth, with her. and her alone. At the age of 67, Atama passed from the world, taking his grief, his love, and his memories with him.
Atama became a Plus, and watched his family grow, even more. However, tragedy, again would play its hand in the Clan. With the death of Atama, everyone he had ever been against banded together, and sent an army to kill every last Ryūkōtei. Word spread to the clan house, in which the warriors took up their blades, and the women, and children fled, eventually splitting up. all but one. Kurieta. Atama watched the battle, which is now known as the "Ryūkōtei ClanMassacre". Every single one of his Clan, down to the last one, Kurieta, who was still fighting. She fought with the ferocity of a man, and one half her age. However, it was to be a complete wipe out. Atama, unable to do anything, watched as his love was cut down, right in front of him. Overwhelmed with the grief, Atama blacked out. It would actually be hundreds of years, before Atama regained himself. And found himself, in a desert.
Atama, through means unknown to him, had become an Arrancar. Marveling at his new body, he realized he could interact with things. He was alive. However, without his family, it meant nothing. Atama sealed himself in a cave, and slept through the years, dreaming of a day, when a Ryūkōtei came back up, and revealed himself. That day has come. Parius, Abel, and Saisei have all claimed the Ryūkōtei name. Atama rises, and sets off, ready to see his new "family", or destroy them, if they are faking their lineage.
Side Notes: Hoping for 1 tier, so any help would be appreciated.
