History: Vito originated in the 80th district of Rukongai. He never had a companion or some one to care for. He was often alone and had to steal to survive. At a young age, Vito was inducted to a gang of thieves. They rivaled with other gangs in the district, going to war and killing one another to claim turf and higher power. The usual gang stuff. He often used his shadows and surroundings to sneak into high class castles and steal food and weapons. Vito one day was sent out on a mission by the head of his gang to steal from a family manor to prepare for war with their rival gang and claim the 80th disrtrict their own. Though, he refused because the family clan is known for their relentless killing of anyone who dares to defy them. He had no choice. A team of him and two others made the way to the family manor, breaking and entering to the armory of the manor until a guard had spotted them. Without hesitiation, the guard shot a dagger in between the eyes of Vito's team mate. He made his escape, fading into the shadows and fleeing from the manor as his other team mate was killed during the escape. Vito refused to participate in any of the gang's activities anymore. One cold night of the full moon, Vito assissinated the Leader of his gang and offered the head to the rival clan. The action of Vito created a unity within the district under one man.
Nine years later, Vito was promoted to the second lieutenant of the family gang. He partipcated in many battle royales where a group of teenagers would sign up for a tournament and kill one another in these organized matches. He developed his fighting skills here and without hesitiation, kill anyone who stands in his way. During a family meeting, a special force of hired shinigami raided their manor. Vito had seen nothing like it. One by one he witnessed his gang mates killed along with his boss. He encountered one of these men who attempted to take his life, but Vito fought back with his life. Barely making an escape as he manage to injure his opponent and flee. At the crack of dawn, vito stood tall upon a cliff as he watched the manor of hiis gang burn down to ashes. He was somewhat dissappointed but relieved at what had happen. Able to move on and start new. The events of the previous night's raid inspired him, humerously to join the Gotei XIII.
Role Playing Sample: Vito patiently sat seiza-style amongst his fellow brothers and father. The warm green eyes of his shifted from left to right, gaining a better understanding of the room. "All bow before the great cornholio!" Vito shouted, his voice echoing throughout the room. The men in the room lowered their heads in respect for their Boss. Vito soon joined them, he lowered his head. He felt something strange. A weird and strange energy rubbing against his skin and and vibrating against his spine. He felt the energy from a certain direction of the room. He leaned his head backwards to look ahead. Only to witness men in strange clothing standing behind the room. "Indentify yourself!" Vito shouted as he hopped upon his own two feet and reached for his dagger. The boss question his sanity, not aware of the men in the room. A cold breeze rushed by Vito. The men dashed ahead of him, fading into a motion blur and gaining appearence on the other side of the room a second before the captain and Gang boss's head cleanly fell off ther shoulders. Vito's eyes widened in shock of how fast these men are and quickly made a run for it. The other men drew their blades and began to battle with the assassins.
"I have to get out of here!" Vito's thoughts echoed within his head. He felt the strange energy once against, but this time the sense of direction was much more accurate. He quickly turned to his left, facing the masked man. Pushing the balls of his feet, against the wooden floor, he pushed himself off the ground and leaped towards the mask man. The foot of the masked man met with Vito's gut followed by a slap to the face. "Gah! This bitch is strong!". Vito quickly rolled off to the side and into the bushes. Both of his hands met together and formed a strange hand sign. "I hope this works." He whispered to himself. He leaped out of the bushes, charging straight for the assassin and swinging his dagger towards the man's throat. With a counter, the man quickly kneeled down and brought his fist up to Vito's chin. Something was strange. The man had notice the attack had taken not type of effect to him. The clone had then faded into a blur. An opening was brought to Vito's attention. Taking advantage, he brought himself behind the assassin's back and swung his dagger behind the back of the assassin's knees. The cold metal blade ripping through the man's skin and muscle, bringing him down to his knees and to yell. Without hesitiation, Vito took a leap backwards and tossed a ball to the ground which bursted into a cloud of smoke upon contact with the ground. The smoke screen shielded vito from sight and made his escape.
