Background:
Haru was one of the youngest members inducted into the soul society setting the new record at the age of 12. Being a prodigy in swordplay got him fairly far. By the time he was the age of 14 he had learned to control his Shikai and release his bonkai shortly after. Things seemed to come natrually easy for him as he quickly ascended through the ranks of Soul Reapers.
By the age of 15 he had made first lieutenant of Squad 9 and had found a comfortable spot to rest for the next couple of years. Soon he found that he and his Captain had become close friends catching Haru off guard for what was about to happen next.
At the age of 18 Haru and the original Captain of Squad 9 had gotten into a bit of trouble. The captain that Haru adored so much, that Haru looked up to for most of his life had become a traitor. One night Haru awoke seeing the captain leave his quarters. Being young and curious Haru decided to follow after him but nothing would prepare him for what he was about to do.
Haru followed the captain to the information division and watched the captain take various files that were laying around. It was soon after that Haru discovered his captain was planning on leaving the soul society and taking some of it's most important secrets/documents with him.
Eventually Haru found his old mentor after becoming the new captain of squad 9. When he found the ex soul reaper complicated emotions swelled within him. Anger sadness regret remorse, and that was just to name a few. The rain came down as Haru stood staring at his old friend with an utter look of disgust.
They fought in the rain for hours. Both unleashing massive levels of Spiritual Pressure as the blows went back and forth until finally... Haru stood the victor killing the man he once called a friend. Though he wasn't totally sure if he had made the right decision. And this rested silently with him for the past four years.
Type of childhood:Was dropped at a kendo dojo and trained never knowing his real parents.
Most important child hood event that still effects him/her: The day before he was taken to the soul society his sensei pulled him aside. "Haru... The road before you is long and arduous... You have been like a son to me for the twelve years I've raised you... Make sure you train hard so I can see you again one day... Get strong not just for me... But so you can find your parents." The sensei hugged his pupil who was at a loss for words.
Why? Because it always reminded Haru that he had something to fight for.
Most at ease when:When everyones alright.
Most ill at ease when: When people are in danger.
Priorities:One day finding his parents.
Philosophies:Always look on the bright side of things.
How they feel about themselves:Haru is confident in his abillities and himself though most of the time he chooses to find an alternative to a fight.
Past failure they would be embarrassed to admit: He had to kill his mentor captain and friend who had betrayed the soul society to give secrets to an unknown source about four years ago. Haru was successful in killing the ex leader of squad nine and retrieving the stolen documents.
Drives and motives:Protecting the friends he has made while in the soul society.
Extremely skilled at: Swordplay, spiritual pressure control and use and transferrence of spiritual energy.
Extremely unskilled at: Being serious.
Good characteristics: Honorable and do whatever he to can protect others.
Character flaws:He sometimes feels unsure of who he is because he never knew his real parents.
Peculiarities: His Zanpaktou contains three souls.
Biggest regret: Killing his captain.
Biggest accomplishment: Killing his captain.
Darkest secret:Haru is actually quite depressed beneath his sunny exterior. But he never really talks about himself so no one really knows.
One word they would use to describe themselves: Average?
What do they consider their best physical characteristic and why: He likes his tattoo because the tribal designs tell a story for those who can figure out the forgotten dialect hidden within the ink.
The worst one? Why?:His eyes. Some people actually space looking into them... Usually girls...
How they think others preserve them: As there Loyal captain hopefully.
What four things would they most like to change about themselves:Haru's sensei's words echoed in his head every single day when he awoke. He want's to be stronger. Whether it be to find his parents or to prove he doesn't need them.
How do they relate to others: With jokes and small talk.
How are they perceived by strangers: Strange a little out there.
Friends:(I can't answer this yet. o.o)
How do they react in a crisis: Cool calm collected.
How do they face problems: Head on.
Kind of problems they usually run into:Usually indifferences amongst people. He's usually the one breaking up the fight. Things of course can always get violent this way.
How they react to new problems: Being positive while contemplating on his move.
How they react to change: He doesn't really care about change as long as he get's stronger in the process.
What do they do too much of, why: Train.
Most prized possession, why: His Zanpaktou. The souls within it have become his friends and his family.
People they secretly admire, why: He did admire his captain before he killed him. Now he admires no one really.
Person they are most influenced by, why His sensei because of the childhood moment listed.
Zanpakuto name:
Kokoro, Kasame, And Ichizu
Zanpakuto sealed Appearance: The sword displayed in the appearance shot is his Zanpoktou in it's sealed form.
Shikai Appearance:
Kasame and Kokoro- Brothers at arms
Kasame
Kokoro
Shikai Release Command: "Sona Musha Kenzoku, The warrior family!!!"
Shikai Abilities: To release his shikai Haru must clutch the hilt of his zanpaktou and will seem to split it in half each half taking the forms Once released the shikai gives him an unnatural level of spiritual pressure. In desperate situations the sword renews his fighting spirit. No matter how beaten or badly injured he will raise to his feet again. Assuming you can knock him off his feet to begin with.
"The Brothers"
Each sword in his hand is a representation of the brother spirits in his zanpaktou. Kokoro represents the faster more ninja like brother where Kasame represents the stronger more samurai like brother.
Spirit Slash (With Either both swords or Only Kasame)-
By concentrating his spiritual pressure to the blades of his swords he is Haru is able to ensure that his slash will slice near anything. Haru may either keep this energy sealed within the swords or release sending a devastating wave of spiritual energy towards his target.
The Strong Brother (Kasame Only)-
The slashes from Kasame will intensify causing more damage and can be used as a boost when in a tough power struggle. (For Ex: Crossing weapons pushing back and forth, energy battles. Etc.)
The Fast Brother (Kokoro Only After Shikais's Released)-
Due to it's smaller size and lighter weight Kokoro is able to deliver swift attacks while also being able to defend attacks, though not powerful ones. Along with that Kokoro gives Haru the feeling of weightlessness. Allowing him to move superfluously fast in tight situations.
The Brothers Bond (Both Only)-
Haru will concentrate his spiritual pressure into both of the blades like he does for Spirit Slash. Though this time he will take a defensive stance crossing the blades. This technique is effective for blocking high level energy type moves.
Bankai Appearance: Looks to be a combination between a samurai sword and a ninja sword. As in it is long like a samurai sword and straight like a ninja sword. Around the handle is a small piece of cloth which hangs loosely from the sword unless being wrapped around his hand to ensure the sword doesn't leave his hand. Unfortunately I have no picture for this blade as of now.
Bankai Release Command: "Awaken. Heart of the father!!!"
Bankai Abilities:Bankai Description
The Two brothers are switched with one blade which still resembles a traditional Katana though there are some key differences. The blade becomes straight while keeping the length of the samurai sword. The hilt is a bit longer then normal allowing for one to apply more pressure to a swing when needed. There is a piece of cloth tied around the guard of the hilt that seems old and tattered. The cloth is only about thirteen inches in length and usually hangs loosly upon the sword until it is needed.
Bankai Ability's
"The Father"
Not only does this weapon posses and grant all the effect's and abilities of Haru's Shikai. But it has few interesting perks of it's own. The cloth mentioned in the description is a fabric which is able to seal energy in it's purest form. Once the energy stored in the cloth reaches it's purest form the cloth can be used as an offensive or defensive addition. The cloth maybe used to extend the reach of the already long blade. Or to call it back to him should they become separated.
A Family United-
Haru will point "The Father" Towards his target shortly after, "The Brothers", will appear each one floating over either one of his shoulders also pointing towards the enemy as spirit energy builds in all three creating a static energy on each blade before a large blast of spiritual energy is released towards the target. Though a bit slow it is a quite devastating attack should it land.
Father Know's Best-
Haru will close his eye's momentarily seeming to collect himself in the midst of the battle though this is usually bait to lure the enemy to attack him. While he waits for the enemy to take the bait he seals energy into the cloth wrapped on father's hilt. Then when the attack finally comes Haru will deflect it using the energized cloth and counter it.
Will Of The Warriors-
Once more the "Two Brothers" Will appear over each of Haru's shoulders. Only this time each one points upwards releasing any energy he stored in them before releasing it back into Haru's body restoring any lost energy. For this reason Haru seal's energy in each of these blades. Think of it as a kind of back up stash of spirit energy.
