Age: 121

Personality:
Tsugaru is the kind of guy that rarely takes anything seriously. The only time you'll see him taking something seriously is when he's exorcizing hallows or dealing with the opposite sex. He's very kind and loves to help people out, as long as they can stand his bad humor. His complete lack of ability to take most things seriously has landed him short of many achievements due to his superiors not believing he has his heart in his work. It couldn’t be further from the truth as he takes his job very seriously.Appearance:
When fighting he has almost a completely different personality, becoming very quiet and calculated. Both of the sides of his personality are usually taken to the extreme, with either him joking too much or fighting too seriously.
Tsugaru is six foot tall exactly with spiky brown hair and azure blue eyes. He is usually wearing his black samurai kimono with his tatami mat shoes. He also almost always seen walking around with a grin on his face. Tsugaru is pretty well built and weighs around 185 pounds.Zanpakuto Spirit:
Since his training usually requires allot from his body he has wraps around most of the surface area of his body. Under his clothes his body is entirely wrapped up leading up to his wrists, ankles and covering his neck.
Tsugaru's Zanpakuto spirit world is an overgrown forest that sees only nights. Within the forest looms a a ghost leopord that glows with an almost white blue light. Tsugaru's Zanpakuto's name is Shibatsu. Shibatsu has a deep voice that echos when ever he speaks and a body that's easily the size of a horse. Within the forest a village made of old straw huts, long since abandond, sits over grown. This is where Shibatsu calls his home when not hunting, or scolding Tsugaru. Tsugaru is very critical of the man the weilds him and is most often hard on Tsugaru, which doesn't make it much better when Tsugaru is so carefree and sarcastic. Shibatsu also holds motherly instinct over Tsugaru as she has been the only true mother figure he had ever had.Sealed Zanpakuto:
Tsugaru's sealed Zanpakuto looks like a large kunai with a curved edge but, at best, it's the size of a wakazashi. The handle is wrapped in the same kind of white cloth that his body is. The rest of the blade is blakened metal.Shikai Description:
Once called the Zanpakuto becomes a four bladed Fuuma Shuriken. The shuriken, when thrown, seeks out it's opponent like a leopord would seek it's prey.Shikai Abilities:
Shibatsu's general ability is to be thrown at it's target and to come back on the target until it strikes or is blocked.
Shibatsu Stalk! - Shibatsu is thrown into the ground or through a nearby wall and comes back through to surprise attack Tsugaru's opponent.Bankai Description:
Shibatsu Roar! - Splits the four blades of the large shuriken and send them flying, all at once, at Tsugaru's opponent. All four peices return after being blocked or successfully hitting.
Shibatsu Strike! - Shibatsu is thrown at Tsugaru's opponent with amazing force and, even if blocked, continues to spin at the opponent for a greater chance at landing a hit.
Shibatsu Pounce!
As Shibatsu is thrown it is charged with spirit energy and is able to carve through objects on it's way to claim it's prey.

History/Background:
Tsugaru had tried his entire life as a child in the rukon district to grow up and become a shinigami. Every penny he earned as an orphan had been saved to pay for what ever schooling or bribery he had to pay for to get in. He had a few different offers from other people that had crossed over to let him join their family but he just didn’t like the idea of people he didn’t know living with him. So, instead he wondered the streets taking odd jobs as often as possible and often missing out on sleep. During the time he wasn’t working he practiced his spirit power control.RP Sample:
Once he grew up he was able to acquire enough skill and money to wriggle his way into the academy. He found out after a few weeks at school that he could focus his spirit energy in such a way as to move at amazing speed. He had spent most of his time at the academy practicing his ranged attacks and his high speed movement. Most of the time he found himself in trouble for his care-free attitude. After the required time at the academy he had acquired the grades he needed to pass and become a shinigami. Being a loner through out his childhood and school career left him without many fiends to call his own even with his help full nature.
Tsugaru couldn't believe it he had found himself the victim of another beating, yet again. He had entered the high level kido class in the hopes to better his own spell proficiency and had instead been getting beaten up by several of the more spell efficient students. They would simply bind him and pound his face into the wooden planks until he lost consciousness for several hours. After three days of that recurrence he decided that it would be in his best interest to either find another class to attend or take private lessons with on of the tutors to learn a counter spell to this insanity. After begging one particularly sexy tutor for the better half of a day, she agreed regretfully.
She had explained to him that repelling a spell was much like creating an invisible barrier in your mind. It had taken Tsugaru several hours to even get a bead on how to deflect her minor binding spells but after they had practiced the same form for nearly two hours, he was able to deflect the minor spell she would throw at him and he figured that even the menial spell protection would be significant. He walked away with a slightly devious grin on his face and knew that the next time he met the little trouble makers, it would be more of a beating for them then him.
