Gaien is usually carefree and lazy. But when a good fighter comes along he becomes serious. Gaien always loves a good battle, though if he battles with low leveled things, such as hollows, he’s a little bored. Weak hollows tend to bore the crap out of him, but stronger ones bring out the warrior within. He can be a flirt, with girls and guys both. Though he is straight, he tends to act gay towards guy just to get a kick out of it. Sometimes he is lazy, but that only happens after a good meal or a great battle. He prefers not to fight girls, because he doesnt think its right to hurt a lady. When around friends, he is outgoing and laughs alot.

Though he prefers to be on the battle field or the training grounds, he will drop that schedule every now and again to hang with his friends. He is less hyper when around female friends. He doesnt know why though, it just happens. When around strangers he is quiet and sits off by himself. He is usually sleeping or faking it. Though he is hardly around strangers, so it is hard to tell what even himself would do because it rarely happens.When he is around enemies, he is always on his guard. If his enemies are acting nice, he is still on guard even in his sleep. One false move and he could get slaughtered. Though he rarely camps among the enemies and sings Coom By Ya by the bonfires. He knows what he would do if he ever does. Completely and total massacre. Once the enemy lower their guard, he will be in and out before anyone knows that they were cut in half.

Spoiler:

Gaien wears your average, run of the mill, shinigami shihakusho. His chokuto is sheathed and strapped on his back, the hilt jutting up past his head on the right side. A standard shinigami's shihakusho comes in different sizes. The normal components being a white shitagi, a black kosode and hakama, a pair of white tabi, a pair of waraji and a white obi.

The shitagi is worn first, like a shirt. Follow by the kosode, which is a short sleeved robe. Once those are folded over to keep it closed, the hakama is put on. The hakama is tied at the waist and fall to the ankles. His hakama is a divided umanori, which has divided legs like trousers. Then the obi is tied on at the waist. It is essentially a sash, it's narrow and about ten centimetres wide. With that out of the way, the tabi are put on next. Tabi are traditional Japanese socks. Ankle-high and with a separation between the big toe and other toes. And finally, the waraji on put on. Which is sandals made from straw rope. This is basically the uniform Gaien wears. He will probably alter it upon reach Lieutenant rank, if he does.

Spoiler:

Gaien's sealed Zanpakuto takes the form of a chokuto. As opposed to a japanese styled katana where it is slightly curved, the chokuto is not. Chokuto means straight sword, but like a katana, it is only sharp on one edge. This chokuto's blade is about the same length as a katana's, approximately 65 centimeters. Which comes out to 25.5 inches. A chokuto has no tsuba but has a full tang. Meaning the tsuka was molded along the shape of the tang of the blade. This provides a more durable sword as it is one instead of two. The tsuka or grip, is long enough to accommodate two hands but it can be wielded with one. This sword's hilt was crafted from steel but has leather crafted on top of it to yield a better grip.

The blade was crafted from folded steel or appears to be that way. It is incredibly strong and sharp. It's ha, or tip, being stronger than the rest and is perfect to stab things with. Usually the scabbard would be made out of wood or some durable stuff, but Gaien's is made of folded steel, just like his blade. Mainly so he can wield along with his sword and hit $h!t with it. Being the physical manifestation of his soul, his zanpakuto is pretty durable overall and it would take a strong spirit to break it.

Gaien Ketsura was born on February 1st, 2275. During those years, way back when, he grew up like the other normal kids. Though he was different. He started a gang type thing when he was about fifteen. He was known as the boss, or Gaisura. Gaien trained himself in his own fighting style. Though it was just a failed mixture of flailing his arms about with a side of random kicking. This style, which he named the Metal Compound, worked fairly well. It kept his opponents off guard. His gang, which he named the Metal Ones won many pointless battles. Until one day when he was seventeen, his best friend Mark got the crap beat out of him by their gang's arch nemesis. Gaien rushed the enemy's hideout and took them all on. It was one versus fifteen, the odds were against them. He beat all of them to a pulp. He then ran straight to the doctor's house. There he saw for the very first time, a giant beast with a white mask. It had just finished devouring the doctor, his friend Mark and Mark's mother. This beast turned to Gaien, eyeing him before speaking in a booming voice. "I'll eat you another time, you have power, but I'll wait until its bloomed more." With that the beast left.

When it came upon Gaien's nineteenth birthday, he got lame gifts and stuff. A girl was there, the girl he liked. She was off talking to his sister. He was excited. He wanted to confess to her that he liked her. He went straight to his room to get the present he bought for her. A loud crash sound was heard. Gaien went wide eyed as he heard people screaming. He rushed downstairs to see what was happening. He saw the beast from a year ago devouring everyone he knew and cared for. He clenched his fists as he stared at the ground. Anger taking him over. The beast dropped a dead carcass of his souless mother and turned to the young man. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The beast sounded sumg about something but Gaien didnt care, he wanted it dead. He raised his head as he glared at the white masked animal. He roared a battle cry as he lunged at the great beast. He wasnt thinking about what could happen, he was only thinking on what would happen if he landed a hit. The hollow stood firm as he watched the puny human rush at him. He shrugged it off and waited for the human's lame attack.

What he wasn't betting on was the fact Gaien's spiritual energy had bloomed over the year. It bursted forth as his fist made a connection with the hollow's chest. The impact plus the burst made a bright flash and a loud powerful explosion. This sent Gaien flying backwards and the hollow to topple over. The beast was baffled, a human had punched him and knocked him over. As the beast stood back up, the Gaien too got to his feet. He grinned as he began to charge again. The hollow, not to be fooled twice, swung its great fist at charging youth. The hollow made contact and caused Gaien to be launched back into the wall. The wall collapsed upon him, and so did the roof. For some odd reason, the propane tank was right there and the collapsing roof made it explode. What a sad and random way to die.

Gaien became a spirit. He wandered aimlessly for days until a strange person in black happened upon him by chance. The being introduced himself as a shinigami ie. Soul Reaper. He performed the Konso on Gaien which sent him to the Soul Society. The young soul arrived in the Rukongai place. He wandered aimlessly until some random people took him in. He lived with this new family for a good hundred or so years before he decided to go try for the academy to get into the Gotei 13.
