Amon Ishtar
❝ Embrace nothing. If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. If you meet your father, kill your father. Only live your life as it is, not bound to anything.❞   Full Name: Amon Ishtar
Aliases: Amon goes by a few aliases in which he is proud to have the people of the Soul Society call him, due to his triumphs and victories in combat as well as his rule over the thirteen court squads. The Prince of Terror or sometimes known as the Prince of Fear is more of a title than a nickname. Amon acquired it during his years at the Soul Reaper Academy. He was given this name while he was a member of a small four man squad known as Fragarach. At that time Amon was known for his cold hearted attitude and cruelty he exhibited throughout his term at the academy during missions, sparing, and other exercises. A few years later Amon achieved another nickname as the fifth seat of the Second Division; The Blood Stained Monk. Amon’s very own upbringing brought forth half of this name, because technically although he doesn’t act like it, he is still a monk. During the Third Blood War Rebellion of the Seireitei, it is said that Amon slaughtered over one thousand souls over the course of a single week. They say Amon was found bathing in a sea of blood of all his victims with no traces of fear, sadness, or even enjoyment. Throughout the Soul Society he is more famous for the name Dragon Slayer, although this nickname is more geared towards his Zanpakuto rather than himself. Those who have managed to see Amon’s release state have never lived to tell the tale or they have been too afraid of the Ishtar Curse to even speak of it. Finally comes the nicknames in which he’s called by those whom are a little closer to him, Phony Priest is a name that comes to mind. Amon has been called a Phony Priest ever since he entered the Academy. Due to his negative habits and attitude, no one believes he’s even a monk half the time. His lack of compassion and cruel sense of responsibility brings forth this image. Those whom are closest to Amon have been able to call him this and walk away alive. Some other names he’s been called are Droopy Eyes and Baldy Head; these all being childish insults due to the stereotype of monks shaving their head and the fact Amon always looks angry or sad, thus the name droopy eyes.
Birthday: November Twenty-ninth [ 11 / 29 ]
Appearance Age: Unlike those who were born in the Soul Society and have the ability to age normally as time goes on with the decrease effect time has on their aging, Amon's physical body remains that of the age in which he died which is twenty-five years old [ 25 ].
Actual Age: Due to the fact aging within the Soul Society is a lot slower than that of the human world, Amon doesn't take on the appearance of one who is truly old; a man that is free from time is how most of the members of his division sees him. Amon is 666 years old. The things he has seen and has been through during his years at the Academy and even as a rookie in the thirteen courts is hidden within the years of his very existence.
Ethnicity: Egyptian
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Even if it was obvious, Amon would never admit to it. Although the facts stand, he has an attraction for men
Reiatsu Color: Emperor Jade
Reiatsu Appearance: When completely releasing his spiritual energy a large shockwave emanates from his body in multiple pulse like surges. As the shockwaves lower in velocity a large jade colored eight headed serpent resonates around his body. If this serpent comes in contact with any individual, either friend or foe, it causes a psychological effect of a one minute hellish nightmare of either being devoured whole or the limbs touched by the creature being completely severed. This large snake works as a spiritual exoskeleton of sorts as well, allowing him to protect himself from most physical and spiritual attacks from time to time.

 Height: 176.5 CM [ 5 Feet 9 Inches ]
Weight: 64 KG [ 141 LBS ]
Blood Type: A
Eye Color: Violet
Hair Color: Platinum Blond
Tattoos / Piercings: Amon has four piercings, three on his left ear cartilage and one on his right on the lobe of his ear. He bares the Ishtar Seal on the left side of his neck originally used to suppress his overpowering and suffocating Immense Reiryoku. The tattoo is linked directly to Amon's Reiryoku and the daggers along the tattoo will connect to the center of the crest in the form of locks showing the different levels of control. When the levels of spiritual energy reach massive capacity a dagger will be forced out of the center. Once all four daggers are forced back from the center Amon's immense amount of Reiryoku releases itself. Originally was wild and uncontrollable, but now at this point has become tamed to his will. This level of spiritual power has a possible tendency to leak from his body and when released can affect the surrounding area in a destructive way. The tattoo only makes Amon appear to have a masterful control over his massive spiritual power, as it can affect those around him unintentionally due to his true inability to control his own energy.
Division: First Division
Position / Seat: Head Captain
Appearance: Amon is of relatively average height and athletically wiry, although he's usually enveloped in his very loose Shikigami garb. He has snow white blond hair kept vaguely short and violet eyes, and is considered to be strikingly attractive.

This method of fighting he brought into the first division with his promotion.
Underneath the robes, usually when entering a human skin for undercover assignments he is seen wearing simple blue-jeans and a thin, tight-fitting mock-turtleneck with not sleeves, with black finger-less gloves connecting to slave-rings on each hand. He's got a decent handful of scars, mostly not visible in his normal dress, all of which are fairly old. He originally wore black tabi socks and straw sandals on his feet, but later switched to black boots. It was also hinted that Amon may be farsighted as he's always seen wearing glasses when his reading the newspaper or scriptures.

 Tactician: Amon is a highly perceptive fighter, almost immediately determining an opponent's attack patterns and weaknesses. He is a crafty tactician, effectively using Kido to confuse his opponents. He can discern the motives and abilities of his opponents, and effectively uses his knowledge to end the battle in his favor. Amon thinks of battles as if he was playing Go or Chess, which is why he makes use for calling his members either Pawns or Knights depending on strategies he creates for assaults. His keen intellect and cold persona makes him feared among the other Captains.
Zanjutsu:
Though, he has a personal philosophy that questions the need for violence, Amon is highly proficient in the use of his Zanpakuto. Amon is more an expert of swordsmanship, possessing flawless precision and performing lethal attacks with little effort, for his skills are with a lance rather than a sword. As the Captain of the First Division the motto of Elegance over Strength has always been key. With this, Amon's fighting style reflects that motto and he tends to strike for the kill if he ever draws his sword.
Hoho:
Amon is arguably best known for his skill in Shunpo. Having been taught by, but never beating his predecessor he is easily one of the most proficient users of this skill in all of Soul Society. Amon is looked at as a Shunpo Master; even so that he has learned and mastered The Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shiho known as Utsusemi. It allows for movement at great speed, leaving an afterimage behind. As well as Senka A Shunpo technique where one, moving to their opponent's back, directly attacks and seals one's "Saketsu" and "Hakusui" in two rapid strikes (effectively cutting them off from their spiritual energy flow). The technique is so fast, an opponent may not be able to tell whether they were attacked from the front or the back, and even an outside observer may find it impossible see the movements. Although it's widely known that Amon favors Utsusemi above any other Shunpo skills.
Kido:
Amon has considerable knowledge of high level Kido spells, casting several in quick succession, with no incantation and almost no effort, and still possessing formidable power. He has used spells up to level 90, and possesses advanced knowledge of Kido application and consistency. He can use a low-level spell repeatedly in rapid succession and with devastating effects, as well as a counter to attacks. At times Amon’s combat style makes him appear to specialize in Kido rather than Zanjutsu or Hakudo, or even Hoho for that matter.
Hado:
Because the Captain doesn't believe in wasting a life unless he's forced into the situation to take a life, he doesn't like to use Hado to kill, in most cases he takes the Hado spells and makes them his own. This alone makes him extremely dangerous. He turns offensive and destructive spells that were created to destroy into spells that protect or defend against other offensive spells. When Amon uses these spells in their true nature as an offensive force they tend to be extremely large and truly destructive; this is all due to his vast amount of spiritual power.
Bakudo:
Most people who watch Amon use Kido in any way would state that he is a Master in terms of skill and use with them, but in truth Amon looks at himself as an expert as he hasn't mastered all the Kido spells yet, although he has learned of most of them. He tends to use more Bakudo than Hado which makes him appear to favor defensive skills rather than offensive, but in truth Amon chooses this method of combat to keep casualty levels as low as possible.
Healing Spells:
Amon may be seen as a master of Kido (at least people believe he is) but when it comes to Healing Spells he's completely clueless. During his days in the Academy he was said to lack the patience or drive to heal anything and the more his skills advanced within other fields his scores within the healing department decreased at such a level he can't put a bandage on someone without cutting off the circulation.
Hakuda:
While used less often, Amon is highly proficient in this area, ignoring the fact he used to be a member of the Second Division. This Captain has never really been a fan of hand to hand combat, yet when it comes down to defending himself without a weapon he’s able to do such. Amon stealthily knocked out several Shinigami guards with a single strike each, during live combat and training sessions to avoid awakening his Zanpakuto. But even then they were surprise attacks with the succession of Hoho.
Immense Spiritual Energy: Amon possesses an exceedingly powerful Reiryoku. Its sheer strength is great enough to easily break free from four overlapping and high-level Bakudō spells restraining him. Amon can exert his Reiatsu to induce fear in captain-level combatants, and can physically paralyze combatants of lieutenant-level and lower simply by gazing in their direction. Amon's spiritual pressure has the same effect as his Zanpakutō, for it tends to strike fear into the heart of those he looks at to the point they believe they've been pierced by a large bladed weapon of some sort. When Amon is enraged, his Reiatsu is powerful enough to be felt all around Seireitei with tremendous force.
Enhanced Reiatsu Recovery: Being one who spends a lot of time meditating and reflecting on his surroundings, Amon is well in tune with this Spiritual Powers. This allows Amon to use higher level of Kido without wasting as much energy as most practitioners would. He is also able to recover a lot fast than most because of this Enhanced Reiatsu Recovery.
Shunpo: Amon is highly skilled and experienced in the art of Shunpo, he may be young but he isn't inexperienced when it comes to a skill that presents tactical advantages to an ex-member of the punishment force.

 Zanpakuto Name: Bachiatari Bosatsu (Cursed Goddess)
Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance: Spirit Form
Zanpakuto Spirit True Appearance: Bachiatari Bosatsu appearance is based on the concept of a beautifully clothed high class beauty. Butterfly shaped motif for her sleeves and obi. She sends to wear lots of a butterfly accessories, her revamp accents her outfit with gold prints and a lavish gradient. A single snake crawls up her leg up to her inner thigh
Bachiatari Bosatsu True Appearance
Zanpakuto Inner World: The inner world of Amon’s Bachiatrai Bosatsu, is known as the Forest of Einnashe or more commonly known as Disemboweling Sea of Trees, Living Forest, and the Predator forest. The forest itself is said to have a mind and will, it does not appear to display sentience, and it only attacks and reacts upon instinct. The forest doesn’t distinguish between friend or foe, making everything that sets foot within it as mere food. It’s able to sense those capable of killing it, causing the forest to behave or strike after the target has been weakened. Einnashe has the form of a black forest, best described as an alien world shrouded by darkness even in daylight, fifty kilometers in diameter. It’s always raining within Einnashe, which reflects the sorrow of Amon’s heart. Once the forest is active, blood from the victims of Bachiatari Bosatsu flows through the forest; causing its entirety to flash with a dark-red coloration resembling an animal’s innards. During this stage it’s said the forest growls and the smell of the dead linger. This Forest is actually an illusion of sorts and is really the belly of the Snake spirit of the Forest; Bachiatari Bosatsu herself.
Zanpakuto Personality: Her sensuous figure may look unimposing, but Bachiatari Bosatsu’s mind is a dangerous one. Seeing war as a game of domination, she relishes bloodshed and enjoys toying with other people’s lives. At times, she has been seen as being perceptive of other’s thoughts. Either she seeks to torture those who cross her with this knowledge or satirizes the ones on the same side as her. Not a moment of guilt runs through her as she defeats people in her path, scoffing when she ends their encounters too quickly. She considers herself Amon’s one and only true wife and tends to act out when someone gets too close to him in a romantic sense. She acts as a refined and sultry temptress, more than ready to use her allure to sucker fools to their deaths. Confident with her body and strengths, her egotism borderlines vanity. Aside from her blatant fetishes, Bachiatari Bosatsu’s sordid thoughts are truly an enigma to all but herself. Amon may catch onto her, but even he can’t completely unfurl her every pondering.
Zanpakuto Seal Appearance: In its sealed form, Bachiatari Bosatsu resembles a wakizashi with an emerald and crimson hilt reminiscent of a Chinese Dao. It is kept sheathed horizontally behind Amon’s lower back ganging by a chain. Click Here
Release Command: “Kuikorosu” (Devour)
Shikai Information:
Shikai Release Appearance: It is triggered by the command “Devour”. Grasping onto Bachiatari Bosatsu with his right hand and dragging his index and middle figure of his left hand across the face of the blade, the entire sword glows red and expands in size. When the emitted glow dies out, it is revealed that Bachiatari Bosatsu has taken the form of a crimson lance.
Shikai Appearance: Bachiatari Bosatsu has now taken the form of a red, two meter long lance with an ominous design that looks like veins or a snake coiling around the body of the lance. The colors and pattern of the Shikai resembles blood and the system it travels. The lance has two blades one at the head that has a section of serrated edges and then a smaller blade at the end of the lance used to strike unaware enemies and rear targets. Click Here
Shikai Special Ability: Ath nGabla (Ford of the Forked Branch; Shoal of Four Branches), as the name suggest, it takes place over a course of four steps. The original purpose of Bachiatari Bosatsu was capture and interrogate before killing its target. With that being said its special ability Ath nGabla makes it one of the most dangerous Zanpakuto ever created. For any target that is so much scratched with Bachiatari Bosatsu’s blade will start suffering the effects. Ath nGabla takes four steps to crush its target. Like a predator it likes to have a chase before devouring the target whole. First, the target will suffer from a slight numbness in the target zone of the wound, the second stage happens within a few minutes of the first which is paralysis of the body which moves from a single location to the whole body. The paralysis is rather interesting as it severs the brain signals controlling the neural impulses for movement in the limbs of the victim, regardless of where they were struck. But, unlike regular paralysis, the pain receptors and nerve endings are unaffected by the weapon, so the victim can still feel pain, even in a paralyzed state. The third stage is destruction of motor functions and blindness, this still leaving the sense of touch and hearing uninterrupted, forcing the opponent to endure whatever pain and torture the wielder of Bachiatari Bosatsu wishes. The fifth and final stage is Corrosion of the internal organs and quickly eating through the skin leaving nothing but dust behind. During the corrosion process the target will feel as if their body has been set on fire from the inside, causing their bones to deteriorate rapidly along with their organs, giving off a scent that smells like burnt popcorn before they begin to vomit blood and chunks of their organs that catch a fiery blaze as they touch the ground. The blood they voit starts to solidify and crumble into ash; once this happens the flesh begins to fall apart and within seconds the body falls apart to bone and then it turns to ash. What makes Ath nGabla so dangerous is the fact that even though it moves in stages these stages increase by the number of times a target is cut or stabbed with Bachiatari Bosatsu. If a target was to be stabbed, cut, or even scratched three times in a row during a single assault then the effects would skip the first two stages and jump right into the third stage. In a normal combat situation after just a single scratch the effects would take less than a few seconds before activating within the target and moving through their system. Fifteen Minutes (20 Post) is all the target has before they die from Stage Four. Stage two starts after just five minutes (5 Post), next stage three (5 Post later), and finally stage four (5 post after that). Bachiatari Bosatsu effects can be disrupted as long as the target who, is infected has superior Reiatsu than the wielder of Bachiatari Bosatsu. The other method to end the effects of Bachiatari Bosatsu’s poison is to force the Zanpakuto back into its seal form. The mechanics behind Bachiatari Bosatsu’s ability takes effect not through the point of entry, but rather the point of actual surface contact. This ability is caused by venom that Bachiatari Bosatsu secretes. When it enters the target’s body, it spreads throughout their body in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, destroying it without a trace. The effect of the poison takes slightly longer to work for those who have enhanced spiritual power. Ath nGabla can also be used as a counter-poison for the wielder by stabbing, cutting, or scratching themselves with Bachiatari Bosatsu.
Shikai Attacks:
Ehwaz (Thrust)
Ehwaz (Thrust), also called Spear of Impaling Barbed Death; is an attack focused on a single target, created by Amon to model the serpent spirit he possesses and his own style, that strikes a fatal blow that seeks and always pierces the opponent’s heart and ruins their body from within with its thousand iron thorns. It literally freezes the Reishi in the air, and it can easily be perceived as a sure-kill technique by all those around simply from being charged with Reishi. Once Ehwaz has been called out the cursed spear reverses the nature of causality, the meaning of “cause and effect”, and the order of things, to make it so the cause of the “lance being thrust” comes from the effect of the “opponent’s heart being pierced” by it. The blade of the lance viberates rapidly as it gains a blood red aura that changes to green once all the reishi is “frozen”. The sound of snakes hissing is the last component before a strike. The striking range of Ehwaz is low, so it can be avoided by opponents that stay out of the range of the lance itself which is 2 meters.
Berkano (Birch Goddess)
Berkano (Birch Goddess) is Amon’s second most used technique and he tends to use it in succession to Ehwaz. Berkano causes the lance to move at impossible angles, signified by turning into a red beam of light, which always manages to reach its target. Even if Amon thrust directly at the opponent’s feet, it will immediately point upwards towards the heart growing and bending without any movements from Amon. This skill, like Ehwaz can only be used against living beings, so it would have no particular effect against inanimate objects causing it to change routes to reach the target at an impossible angle for any normal lance. Berkano is known as the reflects and elegant dance of snakes in the eyes of Amon.
WordsHere
Bankai Information:
Bankai Name: Saisyuu Bachi (Final Curse)
Bankai Appearance: Amon prepares to use this ability by backing one hundred meters away from his opponent, taking a crouching position on all fours, and accelerating through an approach run by dashing fifty meters before taking to the skies. He arches his back as if drawing a bow and hurls it towards the ground with all his might. It distorts space to create a "tapestry of action" that splits into numerous spearheads that pour down over the enemy.
Bankai Special Ability: By releasing the accumulated power after the spear is hurled, detonating on impact with enough power to blow away a multitude of enemies. It does not carry the property or concept of “always pierces the opponent’s heart”, but both the power and the area of effect are increased. Rather than dispatching a single foe with absolute accuracy, its focus as a technique is to attack the enemies together with the surrounding area in a carpet bombing fashion to cause massive destruction. Due to being hurled with all of his energy, it cannot be dodged or blocked under normal circumstances. Even resilient bulwark or agile body are not immune to its power, so Saisyuu Bachiwill send the enemy horde flying. The spear travels at mach two, and the farthest he has thrown it is forty kilometers.
Bankai Attacks:
Ansuz-Eihwaz (Flying Red Branch Lance)
Ansuz-Eihwaz is one of Amon's last resort and yet favorite attacks to use if he can't kill an opponent after the massive explosion that is created from his lance touching the ground. Ansuz-Eihwaz uses the poison found within the lance which vanishes after it explodes becoming one with the dust around. The dust becomes extremely sharp and can rip through not only the clothes of those inside of it but the internal organs of those who inhale the gas. The gas can be returned into a spear form just by Amon focusing his spiritual energy into his hand willing the particles to him. This attack has a normal limit of firing no more than one missile every three days; doing so more often taxes him noticeably.

 Relatives:
Rashid Ishtar // The current head master of Ishtar Temple and Amon's adoptive Father. Rashid is the adoptive son of Houmei Ishtar the previous Head Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13. Unlike Amon and Houmei Rashid never picked up arms in terms of a Zanpakuto. Rashid specialize in Demon Arts and Hakuda which explains why Amon favors them and excells in casting Kido. Amon and Rashid have an extremely close relationship as father and son. Amon tends to return to the temple to check on his elderly father whenever he has time, although Rashid laughs at Amon when he shows up with nearly an army following him because of his rank as the Head Captain.
Houmei Ishtar // Amon and Houmei were not the closest ever, but once people found out that Houmei and Amon were related Amon felt pressure to live up to his Grandfather. The two never saw eye to eye on specific issues, such as justice and humor. Amon not being a very joke and fun guy and Houmei enjoying to smile made things a little more interesting when they were seen in public together due to the childish pranks an old man would play on his grandson. Amon still views Houmei to be an old fool who is too stupid to admit to the fact he's old and needed to pick someone more suitable for his replacement than a family member. Amon secretly cares for his grandfather more than most people would believe.
Personality: Amon is not very open to anyone, and sees even the most trifling thing as being annoying. He is not overly fond of children or animals either. He is indifferent, short tempered, and a rational thinker; most of the time he won't fight unless absolutely necessary, even if the others are. He is most easily annoyed by people's constant bickering. Most of the time, he solves this problem by threatening to punish them or drawing his zanpakuto swiftly and points it towards them to get them to shut up. When he is resting, he usually reads the newspaper and drinks a beer or tea. Though the rest of the Division are his only friends, he refuses to admit it; he typically describes them as his servants, and is never grateful no matter how many times they rescue him from death.
Despite his gruff and impersonal attitude, however, he cares deeply for his companions - though he'd loath to acknowledge it - and is quick to defend others in need. He and his Vice Captain spend the most time together, owing to the fact that they've known each other for so long. Amon often - though grudgingly - takes a parental role in the Lieutenant's life and has been responsible for his upbringing. Though he never actually took Buddhist vows and seems to hold all divinities in contempt, he maintains a few monastic habits. He eats very sparingly and his favorite dish continues to be rice steeped in green tea, a typical monk's meal. He refuses to lecture on religious teachings when asked, but often delivers philosophical points with blunt and direct insight when people need advice. The one teaching of his master's that he continues to hold in high regard is Hold Nothing, a precept that forbids forming any attachments in the material world. He does become aware that he has used this teaching as a defense against forming friendships or emotional attachments, for fear of losing them as he did his master, but it is uncertain whether or not this awareness changes his opinion of the teaching.
He hates rain, as it reminds him of the rainy night when his master was killed. On rainy nights he never sleeps, and sits up all night smoking and brooding. During prolonged spells of wet weather he refuses to eat and loses so much sleep that it becomes a point of anxiety to all.
Likes:
There are few things in the world Amon likes to do mainly in his free time and that's read and smoke. He tends to drink beer on his off days but that's not a real necessity. The Captain tends to keep a pack of cigarettes on him at all times. He only smokes a specific brand found in the 64th East District of Rukongai called Dragon Smokes. People who ask for a cigarette from him nags about the poor quality and how cheap they are, but Amon explains there is more to the world than quality and how one views something in terms of class.
Dislikes:
Amon dislikes a lot of things about the world, the first thing on his list is children, followed by animals, and the last thing on his list being those who break the law.
Hates:
Amon doesn't hate anyone or anything in particular, but due to his attitude about things and life most of the time people assume Amon hates everything about the world and life.
Hobbies:
Hobbies...Amon tends to play games that he can put money on, which is anything. He likes to play things like Mahjong, Shogi, Chess, and Xiangqi. Although he does tend to play poker a lot but its not his favorite. He'd rather play a game where he can easily read his opponent and not put his money on chance. For Amon doesn't believe in fate, just win or lose; life or death.
Biography: The infant was placed in a basket left floating in a river. Before he could drown he was saved by a man named Rashid Ishtar. Rashid named the boy Amon, which means The Hidden One, and took him to the Ishtar temple. From that time on he raised the boy like his own son and Amon came to love and respect Rashid. Amon was raised under the teaching of Buddhism and a monk but even as a monk he came to realize that there came times where they had to defend themselves and others; because of this Amon spent countless hours training, preparing to take over the leadership of the temple one day. On days where Amon was doing basic tasks around the temple Riku Hiwatari the Captain of the Sixth Division would come often to visit mainly to speak with Rashid but he would come by once a month just to see Amon and perform a playful game of Shogi with him. The true reason behind coming to the temple was by request of Rashid to view the process of Amon’s training as well as the numerous damages he caused in his sleep. At one point during a nightmare Amon’s spiritual pressure destroyed the roof of the whole temple. This brought the Ishtar group to create a specialized seal for Amon in which they used kido to burn directly into his soul which would react and cause him extreme amounts of pain.
Twenty-two years later Amon had received a special admission into the Soul Reaper Academy. With Amon’s natural talent, he quickly entered the Shingami Academy and graduated early despite his age at the time. Although it wasn’t as flawless as some of his class members would have claimed it was for him. He struggled so much at basic healing that the instructor wrote on his final exam that he’d be more useful as a poison than a sword. Out of everything that Amon failed at during his medical training he had a natural talent for remembering poison formulas, antidotes, and the different plants or chemicals that made up these deadly warfare weapons. It was a little too natural for Amon even though he didn't understand how he knew the differences.
Amon was already a famous Shinigami even before becoming a seated officer. He began taking missions with the Gotei 13 when he was still a student of the Shinigami Academy; here he gained the name Prince of Terror. During his last year of study, Amon and three of his classmates, Satoshi (The God of Magic), Ken (The Immortal Fist), and Aya (The Blade Queen); this was the team known through the academy as Fragarach. They were assigned to lead a field lesson on performing exterminations of Hollows within a low level of the World of the Living with Freshman Class One. All went well until the end of the lesson, when a group of huge Hollows took the class by surprise. Satoshi and Aya prepared to attack the Hollows but Amon told them to stay out of it and allow him to handle it. At the time, only a handful of people knew that Amon had been practicing to achieve his Shikai and the second he ordered his two classmates to serve as his back up this time he revealed his true weapon.
Aya and Satoshi both berated Amon that day on keeping them in the dark about achieving Shikai without telling them at least, because they were a team. Amon explained to the two in front of the Freshmen that he didn't like calling forth his Shikai ever since he met his partner; his inner spirit. Amon explained his experience as an attempt of rape by someone's grandmother who had too much perfume on. But the truth was, Amon never successfully released Shikai in a battle situation before that day.
Shortly after attaining his position as a seated officer of the 2nd Division Amon's level of fame slowly decreased as he became more distant from people due to his vices he began to acquire such as drinking, smoking, and gambling. If anyone needed Amon for something they usually had to buy him to the occasion. A few years after Amon had adjusted to being a member of the 2nd Division his Captain at the time asked to meet him in a secluded area of Soul Society. Shortly after his arrival his Captain gave him a pack of cigarettes called Dragon Smokes. Amon knew of them, as they were a cheap pack found in the lower ends of the Soul Society. His Captain compared Amon to the package of cigarettes and how if he wanted to be viewed as anything more than common and cheap he'd have to prove to be versatile and not particular in taste. Amon started smoking Dragon Smokes from that day onward and refused to smoke anything else until he understood the meaning behind what his Captain was trying to tell him.
Not too long later the Soul Society was breached and the start of the Third Blood War Rebellion of the Seireitei happened. During the beginning phases of the war Amon was visiting his Father's temple and didn't get notice about the war until the temple was being stormed by members of the 11th, 8th, and 13th divisions. Amon only knew the members of the Division because three of the members who had entered the temple in search for him were lieutenants. Amon only being ranked as Fifth Seat of the 2nd Division put him in no position to put up an argument in front of civilians although after being told by each of these members that his three friends from his old gang in the Academy were slain by them sent Amon into a frenzy. On that day alone Amon became known across the land as The Blood Stained Monk. A week after the end of the War with old comrades his Captain and his Grandfather the current Head Captain of the Gotei 13 came to the temple to find Amon over the bodies still stabbing at the corps of the killers of his friends.
Two years. It took two long years for Amon to recover mentally from the war and the loss of his friends. Upon his return he was asked to meet with not only his Captain but a few other Captains including the Head Captain that he was being promoted and was nominated to be the replacement of the Head Captain upon his retirement. Amon refused the offer originally as he didn't feel he earned or deserved such a title or position; but he wasn't given a choice. After successfully passing his exam, he became the captain of the 1st Division. It took years for Amon to gain the trust and respect of all the other Captains and their divisions. Amon was still cut throat and gave the option of demotion or banishment in order to replace all the Captains with his own personal choices of those he saw as worthy of fighting aside him. To this day Amon is the youngest Captain to ever hold the position of Head Captain, because of this Amon spends most of his days studying everything and anything hidden from history that only the Head Captain has access to.
