Back Drop

Background: Akira was a young orphan wondering the streets of Junrinan in the rukon district when he stumbled into a woman shinigami that was returning from training in the mountains, the woman looked down and asked if he was alright akira replied I'm sorry and tried to run away but fainted from hunger, the woman then scooped him up and took him with her to the seritai.
when akira regained consciousness he found himself in the arms of the woman, the woman seeing that he was awake said hi my name is Takara and ill return you to your family after you eat something.
akira started to cry and said i don't have a family and hugged Takara tightly, Takara hugged him back and started thinking about what to do with him, after thinking for a moment she then said to the young boy if you are going to stay here you are going to have to tell me your name little boy.
akira looked up at her with a excited expression on his face and asked really ...do you really mean it, Takara replied while laughing with excitement yes i really mean it, akira then hugged Takara tighter and said my name is akira thank you thank you thank you!!!
when akira was alittle older he started reading books on kido and zanjutsu then when he had a better understanding of what the books were saying he would go to a open Field and try out what he had read by himself so he wouldn't get in trouble by his adoptive mother or the other shinigamis.
when akira was a suitable age he joined the academy and excelled in his studies, after graduation he was asked to join a squad but declined he would rather stay at the academy a little longer as a teachers assistant and to further his knowledge.
After spending two more years at the acamedy akira joined squad 12 and moved his was up to leiutenant with in a few years of joining. As time want by Akira became Captain of squad 12 and held that seat for sevral years.

Side Notes: After studying the body of a captured hollow Akira learned how the hollows were able to creat Gargantua's from there own reiatsu. After studying this Akira began experementing on himself and after awhile he was able to infuse a small portion of hollow reiatsu with his own but not enough to cause him to become a Vizard. Also his reiatsu still feels shinigami to everyonebut this infusement allowed Akira the ability to control Gargantua esentualy giveing him this ability that he can use at anytime.

RP Sample: The day was hot, the sun was high in the afternoon sky beating down over the Seireitei as Akira made his way towards the Research and Development Bureau with his headphones propped over his ears while he walked reading his typical manga. Akira hasn't been there for weeks due to the reconstruction and was only going there today to clear out the odds and ends left behind. As Akira pushed open the doors he felt two high reiatsus. "Well, it seems I'm not the only one who decided to come here today." He said aloud to himself as he closed his book and returned it to his pouch.

As he made it to the labs doorway he saw Former Captain Mayuri and Former Captain Urahara bickering over old surveillance tapes, Akira only stood in the doorway as he leaned in its door jam and watched the two, He then pulled a box of pocky from his pouch and removed a stick before returning it to the pouch. "Everything is digital nowadays ya two dinosaurs." Akira said sarcasticly as he placed a pocky stick in his mouth then pulled his headphones down around his neck.

Welcome Captain-Commander Akira! Approved.
