History/Background:

Personality:
Kaito is and always was a quiet academic achiever, but is socially isolated, and seems cold at first glance. He would only speak when spoken to, or speak to others when he needs help, and has a habit of pushes his glasses in before talking. He is polite to all acquaintances, believing in good first impressions for a further potential friendship. He is a very kind and gentle person, and not always cold and distant after a person gets to know him.Appearance:
Kaito would get along with anyone he shares a common interest in, especially when it has something to do with spirits. He would be devoted to whoever he befriends, and will show a much happier and brighter side to his personality. He would open up to a close friend, and reveal some of his secrets, such as his fear of heights and fee-falling, meaning he'd never go on a roller coaster.
The boy abides by his own moral code, to repay any debt no matter what. Even if the person refuses his repayment, he’d just sneakily repay them somehow without them knowing.
He hates hollows with a passion, since their kind killed his whole family. Being bullied before, he does not tolerate it and would interfere if it was happening to someone. He prioritises others over himself, so Kaito would gladly sacrifice his life for a friend or a complete stranger if they were in danger. It would be the right thing to do and it was how he wished to die, and he was also curious to see what would happen to him when he did die, since he’s able to see pluses.
Based off this picture Kaito stands at 5 feet 5 inches, weights around 115 pounds. He has indigo eyes, wears rounded rectangular glasses, and has pale blue. He looks skinny and his arms seem weak, but his is actually pretty fit. The teen is often seen in the Karakura High School Uniform, and in a sporting like casual wear outside of school. One of most often worn outfits would be a black singlet under a pale purple over-shirt, navy blue tracksuit pants with white line on each side, and white running shoes.Quincy Abilities:
Reiryoku Absorption: He does this without his own knowledge, but Kaito does absorb the spirit particles within the atmosphere. This mixes in with his own spirit power, giving him more stamina, and increased power behind his attacks. The gathering of spirit particles fastens depending on how strong his emotions are at the time, but this process uses up his own spirit energy in exchange, causing sudden exhaustion as if he had used all that spirit energy all at once. This often arises when Kaito is angry, or being determined to do something, like protecting a friend, or not giving up or loosing.

Reiryoku Manipulation: Kaito can freely manipulate spirit energy into a bow and arrow, which he develops into his own attacks, these include:.
Standard Arrow: A normal spirit arrow, bright blue in colour, can potentially kill a normal hollow, can only fire ten consecutively (in one post).
Surround Shot: Kaito five normal arrows while moving around the opponent with Hirenkyaku, appearing as if they were shot from the front, behind, left, right, and above all at the same time.
Concentrated Arrow: A much stronger and focused Standard Arrow, coloured pale blue, can potentially kill a Large Hollow, needs time (one non attacking post) to charge up.
Splitting Arrow: Kaito fires a Concentrated Arrow, splits ten multiple Standard Arrows on the way to the target.
Blazing Arrow: With rapid Reiryoku Absorption due to his emotions, he can fire a Concentrated Arrow without any charge time, can fire five at most consecutively.
White Arrow; A Concentrated Blazing Arrow, pure white in colour, Kaito’s strongest attack.
Final Shot: Pins opponent to a surface with four Blazing Arrows at the limbs, then finishes off with a White Arrow to the head or chest.
Alternatively, he can form a spirit sword, this has the same power as a normal spirit arrow, that can cut off limbs of normal hollows.
Hirenkyaku: By gathering spiritual particles under his feet, Kaito surfs on these particles to boost his speed greatly He prefers to use this techinque while on a surface like to side of building, as it is much easier and safer for him, mainly due to his fear of heights and free-falling..

History/Background:
OriginsRP Sample:
The Akimoto Family was a typical work oriented family full of people in high level professions, but unknown to them, they all had dormant Qunicy powers. It just happens to be that one of the family members from generations ago was a survivor of the Quincy-Shinigami war, but he kept that identity only to himself to the day he died of old age.
Akimoto Kaito was born to Akimoto Hiroto and Fujiwara Sakura, his father was a doctor for the local hospital, and his mother worked there too as a nurse. They lived in house that was on the same street as the hospital for convenience, and often left their son alone at him due to their priority of work. Typical of their family, the boy was a quiet achiever, showing intelligence and maturity above his physical age.
With the humans already born with spiritual awareness from inheritance or by chance, and other normal humans gaining the same abilities after contact with hollow, shinigami, or other spiritually aware humans, they became targeted by hollows due to their above average spirit power, causing an endless cycle of increased death rates. By working in the hospital, the staff eventually became spiritually aware due to the large amounts of pluses that emerged due to people dying there frequently.
Awakening
However, it was inevitable that hollows would someday attack it. It was one night when Kaito was ten years old, his mother and father were out on a late night shift as usual. The child got woken up by a sudden explosion, and saw ambulances and police cars heading towards the hospital. He followed them, and saw that the whole hospital had collapsed, the vehicles that arrived before were all toppled over, and everyone had their souls devoured by a single giant hollow. Knowing that his parents were killed by the monster before him, he ran at in a rage and shot out a powerful burst of spirit energy that killed the hollow, passing out soon afterwards.
When he awoke the next morning, he tried to tell the police about what he saw that night. But no one believed him due to there not being any proof; he was a ten year old kid after all. They sent him to the local boarding school, where he was often bullied by the other kids. Kaito had a weird hair colour for starters, and he often isolated himself from others, being quiet and closed off personality. He’d prefer to play with his spirit powers, which the others couldn’t see.
Growing Up
Kaito was fascinated with his powers, manipulation of his own and surrounding spirit particles. He would often wander off to an isolated place at the school, developing his powers while being creative with them; it was the only thing that made him happy. When he got bored enough, he would curiously sneak out and hunt down nearby hollows. On the first couple of times, he got too scared and would run away until shingami arrived to save him. Later on after gaining much more confidence in his abilities, he would easily destroy a hollow on his own.
With plenty of money left for him, Kaito used it for archery lessons to improve his accuracy and basic karate for self defence. From the constant running to escape the bullies and hollows, running to and from the boarding school at night to destroy nearby hollows without being noticed, running became one of his strengths. Knowing he could be that much faster, he ran more when he could in order to train his legs for more speed.
Present Day
Five years later, and Kaito’s skills had become exceptional for someone his age. He almost had perfect accuracy with any projectile he fired, and became a well known runner who came first in many local competitions for his age group. In order to better combat hollows, he self learned how to form spiritual melee weapons for cutting, and use spirit particles to boost his own speed. Even with all his powers, he had neglected training his upper body physically, especially his arms, he wouldn’t be able to beat anyone in an arm wrestle or fight with weapons.
On the TV one day, he watched one of Ryuken’s organisation’s combat documentaries and notices some similarities with his own powers. Thinking the man could answer his questions, he did some research he found about Karakura Town. With a set goal in mind, Kaito left the orphanage and transfered to Karakura High School, living on his own in an apartment with all the money inherited from his parents.
Upon his arrival, he could sense that this Karakura Town consisted of people with high spiritual power like himself; it might be just the place that he could fit in hopefully. Maybe he could find out about his origins, why he has these powers, and how he could further improve and master them. He wished to make friends that he could relate to, and be rid of his loneliness.
“What, was that?” Kaito thought as looked around in slight confusion, he swore he heard a faint muffled sound somewhere. The teenager dismissed it and continued his way towards his apartment after leaving high school for the day; he then heard a loud monstrous roar that made his body shake visibly from the sheer pressure he sensed, a horrible presence had arrived. He rushed over to the source and saw a large rhino like hollow emerge, casting a shadow upon some nearby houses.
“Tch, another hollow at a time like this …” Kaito muttered bitterly as he extended his left arm out, forming a sling shot made out of pure light blue coloured spirit energy. With his other hand, he pulled back what would have been the elastic part of the sling shot, until it was beside his ear, and took aim. Bending his knees briefly, the human up jumped into air and then flickered out of sight with a burst of speed, reappearing a second later in front of the hollow’s face.
“It’s a shame that it’s over before it has even become, now DIE!” he announced, shooting off the pale blue coloured arrow that pierced through the hollow’s white mask. Kaito didn’t even bother to look as it began to disintegrate, from its head to the rest of the body. The Quncy focused on his landing, seemingly teleporting himself to the side of a building, before sliding down it a blurring speeds until he was safe on the ground again.
