Personality: Rei Koizumi is a coldly calculating individual before he puts on airs of compassion or kidness. Bearing the likely hood of a sociopath, Rei faces each and every person with a singular mindset: How can they be of use in my scheme?. This results in his conversations to be focused on gathering information, and sometimes selling that intelligence to another. If someone can fully engage his mind, without causing him to start playing mind games, then they will be counted among a select few that could provide more to his plan than being merely a pawn. Rei values intelligence more than anything else, and will do whatever necessary to be the brightest in this game he plays.

Dislikes: Brutes, Ignorance, Metal music, Bullying
Biography: Rei Koizumi was a child prodigy when he was alive. Parents forced him into piano lessons, chess lessons, and anything else to boost his intelligence to succeed. Sadly, when he died from cancer at the young age of 8, his parents merely had another child and continued onward. This caused Rei to start hollowfying, but in that moment, he realized that he let his emotions take over, and this would cause him to loose that logic he so craved. This created a small conflict inside him. On one hand, that logic came from his parents, and what they forced him to do. The other hand bore the choice to loose control and go wild with emotion and get revenge for his lost childhood against his parents. This conflict split, and though he was supposed to turn into a hollow, his logic won out, and sealed the monster, and most of his emotions, deep inside his soul. It was then konso was performed upon him, and Rei awoke in Rukongai, district 32.
From here, he found that the struggle for food was more important than anything else. Rei teamed up with some other kids, and began to direct them on how best to steal what they needed. If they were ever caught, Rei would not acknowledge they ever were his friend. His coldness eventually got him ostracized, and when he was alone, wandering, he caught sight of a Shinigami fighting a hollow. This power he saw was something he wanted for himself, so he observed. Rei quickly grasped the concept of Spiritual Pressure, and how to sense it. He would locate a source of that power, and follow the shinigami, or possible hollow, watching and learning. Years later, Rei became a shinigami in the academy, and was put into the accelerated honors program. He ability to memorize kido spells, use hakuda, and even his technique with zanjutsu marked him as a prodigy even in this world. After a mere 3 years in the academy, Rei graduated and joined the squads, in particular Squad 7. Though he never got seated, during a mission to the human world to patrol for hollows, Rei found the voice of his blade, and he sought to connect with it. Noutan, was its name, meaning Light and Shadow. Following the voices intructions, Rei was able to learn about the powers of his shikai, and his other power.
Noutan informed Rei that within his spiritual world, there were doors that would lead to every memory, and every source of power he had. This castle of his contained everything he was, all he had to do was look for the truth within. Rei of course saw this as a game with Noutan, and it likely is to Noutan as well. Exploring the depths of the castle, Rei found a monster he could vaguely remember from his childhood, something that he got rid of in fear of loosing control. That fear became palpable again, as the monster was released to run rampant throughout the castle. Rei managed to beat it down and force it to submit, but that merely means it won't run around the castle, it still whispers to Rei, urging him to let loose in any given situation, and Rei must face it every time something triggers a powerful emotion.
