Personality: Kura is a hard worker. Due to having a hard life from when he was alive he doesn’t moan and groan about many things. He wants to train to the best of his abilities so he can become stronger. He is always studying and always analysing certain battles and spars so he can become like the stronger people. Due to all the studying of war books and battle analysing he is a decent leader and very charismatic. He is very good at making friends and is very sociable when he isn’t fighting or training. The only kink in his personality is his dire need to protect his friends. Usually this would be a good thing but when he is in battle he would sacrifice a lot of things in order to save them and if he fails he would mostly be thrown into despair and depression. He wouldn’t mind letting a mission go in order to protect a comrade or let a strong enemy escape in order to save his friend. People say he needs to lern to make sacrifices and to let go if he wants to become an effective Shinigami.

Spoiler:

Kura’s zanpakuto is a simply Katana blade. The sheath is jet black and has a rope at the top of it, the hilt of held up by his sash of his Shinigami robes. Kura’s zanpakuto is slightly curved like a Katana should be and is always polished and always shining brightly. The hilt is black and lightly decorated with diamonds and different silver items.

History: Kura had a rough life while he was on earth, when Kura was three his father became an alcoholic and became very abusive to his wife and child. Kura grew up with a drunken father and a depressed mother. When Kura turned nine he began to go to school with multiple bruises and cuts. His teachers became very suspicious but no action was taken. One day Kura came home from school, he was tired and his father was in an angry mood when he came back from the pub. He decided to take his anger out on his wife and child.

His father went so far he smashed the bottle over his son’s head. The bottle shattered and Kura was knocked out cold, this triggered something inside his mother. She grabbed a kitchen knife and slit her husband’s through in the fight. The police were called and Kura got some amnesia. He forgot his friends, his school, and his teachers. The only memory that remained was his family. An investigation was launched following the murder.

Kura’s mother became even more depressed when she thought she was going to be arrested and thrown in jail for life. She then took her own life by shooting herself in the head. Kura was then taken in by a foster family; he grew up with a sister as a happy family. Kura grew up as a pretty happy boy.

When Kura left school at eighteen he went to the top colleges with outstanding results and he was a very smart boy. Kura was still street like and was still very strog, getting into a lot of street fights and getting involved in a few gangs. Together when Kura wasn’t in college they were getting into fights with other people and other gangs. Kura never really killed anyone, he rarely used weapons as he knew he would probably get arrested and thrown out of college if anything got out of hand, luckily they didn’t until one bad day.

Kura had just finished college and was hanging around with his street friends. They were drinking alcohol and not doing much. A few of them where still carrying knives and guns though. Suddenly a rival gang who wore blue headbands as opposed to Kura’s gang who wore white started to attack them. During the fight Kura was slashed in the arm, it injured him but before he could react he was one of them was carrying a high powered pistol and began to shoot at all of them. Only two people from Kura’s gang survived but Kura was not one of them. He was shot in the stomach then hit in the chest. When the ambulance arrived he died in surgery.

Kura then went to the soul society. He didn’t have any unresolved issues and lived in one of the poorer districts of Rukongai. Kura desperately wanted to do better and wanted to escape eternity in the poor district were there were a lot of fights. Kura decided to keep wearing the white headband his gang wore from when he was alive.

182 years later

Almost two hundred years of living there. Getting into fights, living by himself, he was not desperate to find his biological family as he felt they had made his life as bad as possible. He hated his father as he was an alcoholic drunkard who abused him. He hated his mother for killing herself and leaving Kura all alone to be taken care of by his foster family and his gang. So Kura didn’t bother trying to look for them. He made a few attempts to find his foster family but he simply couldn’t find them. Suddenly a Shinigami who was on patrol noticed Kura’s unusually Reiatsu. He followed Kura, stalked him for a little bit and finally confronted him.

“You’re really lucky you haven’t killed anyone with uncontrolled Reiatsu like that, it’s even more shocking that you haven’t been recruited into the academy for all this time,” The Shinigami said to him. He told Kura he should join the academy and learn to control his powers. Kura then realised that if he joined the academy he could leave the poor district and finally be someone, a Shinigami. Kura accepted the offer almost immediately and started his training in the academy. Kura worked hard in his training and then he realised something during his training.

If he wanted to become a great Shinigami he would have to stay dedicated and learn.

That was exactly what Kura planned to do.

Role Playing Sample: Kura smiled as he looked around. He gripped his zanpakuto tightly and scanned his surroundings . It was a pretty dangerous place. He had been put into a training forest. There was a big danger, he had to try and keep his bells until the end of the day, he had been assigned a team of course. They had to survive the very weak hollows and the other shinigami students. He had three people with him. One of them was called Kawami Iruzukki, the other one was a girl called Jen Miwiki and the other one was a man called Junior Miruruzuki. Kura remembered their names and scanned his surroundings carefully and as swiftly as he could.He was in the forest. The heat of the sun beat down on the back of his head and the trees were large and bushy with leaves. The trees provided little shade against the sunlight though.

Kura gave the signal to his team to continue to advance. They all ran in a tight formation, dodging and swerving around trees and keeping as quite as possible. Kura kept his zanpakuto drawn and he felt the wind rushing past him and he heard the footsteps of his team. They were faint footsteps but still footsteps. They barely made any sound, most of the sound was coming from the leaves and twigs they stepped on. Suddenly Kura saw something rush past a bush. Kura’s crimson eyes widened and his hair stood up, Kura suddenly gave the signal for them to stop running. Kura raised his zanpakuto readily, the rest of his squad raised their zanpakuto’s as well. They four of them were ready for whatever was going to come towards them and attempt to take them on. Maybe take their bells or even worse, devour them.
