History:
A Hidden Past and a Lost Brother...
Not even he knows why he has the nightmares he does. He has never told anyone about them but he has had them for as long as he could remember. His nightmare was always in short clips, not like an ongoing film like other dreams were. But this nightmare was always the same.
Fire and screaming and the smell of burning flesh. It was his own screaming, as him and another man about his age sat tied down to a chair while watching as an elderly man was burned right ahead of them both. He could hear the the crying as he looked around the room more closely this time. Circling around the burning figure was another man wearing a mask that he would have seen probably around the Renaissance era. He looked back at the burning man trying to find any hint as to who he might be. He had a sort of peacefulness about him that Akira could not put a finger on. He had seen him somewhere before... But he did not know where...
Then the image of the boy beside him ran through his mind. He had to be about 16 or 17... The poor kid... This one looked much like him which made no sense though. He didn't have a brother, did he..? He always thought he was brought up as an orphan, an outcast as he is now roaming the deserted streets of Rukongai. And even if he did have a brother somewhere out there, why would they both be there watching this man being burned. His mind kept asking questions as the masked man moved towards him. He knew what was coming next before he felt the stinging pain in his side as he screamed out in his sleep.
His eyes then suddenly opened widely as he sat up in the bed. He winced lightly and ran his palm over the aching pain in his side where the man in his nightmare stabbed him. He moved his hand over his head and felt the warmness of his skin as his heart continued to quickly beat in his chest. "Who are you," he asked himself softly as he laid his head back down against his pillow trying to calm himself. Too long have these dreams been bothering him for them to just be some conjuration of his mind. These had to have some meaning... A chance that they might have been events of his previous life continued to pass through his head but he dismissed them just as quickly not wanting to believe it. But deep in his soul he knew the truth...
It was his previous life. He was dreaming his own death... And somewhere out there, his brother waits for him.
Akira was always a man of little words when he first walked the streets in Rukongai all those years ago. He had no idea of where he came from but knew that it must've been from a life of battle because of his skills in the art of sword fighting. To think he still goes around making a living out of challenging unsuspecting warriors to fights that he knew they couldn't win. They looked at him and thought: here's some pretty boy who dreamed of being a fighter... He could never get over the surprise on their face when he surpassed and read their every move. He didn't look strong at all too. He had the body of an 18 year old that might've spent too much time fencing and running than sitting at home reading. He continued his shenanigan until the fated day arrived.
It wasn't until he accidently challenged a Shinigami when his eyes were finally opened. He tried and tried but couldn't read the females moves when she approached him with her unreleased zanpakutō in hand. He growled under his breath as he ducked under her blow only to be welcomed by another similar slash. All he could do was deflect and parry until he noticed a sly grin grow across her face. He was down on his butt before he could even collect what happened.His blade rested on the ground beside him as he looked back up at her. The Shinigami smiled kindly and offered her assistance in helping him up while praising his swordsmanship. "Now, if only you put that talent into something useful than gaming," He still looked at her in bewilderment that he was defeated so easily after all of these years...
She just smiled again before her gaze flicked down to his blade on the ground. She batted her eyebrows at it lightly before looking back up at him, "Sir... Where did you get that blade?" He looked at her in confusion before shrugging. He walked back to his sword and picked it up before cleaning the dirt off of it with his shirt, "I'm not sure actually... I've always had it, even when I first arrived here. What importance is it to you, Shinigami?" She seemed to have been running what he said through her mind before merely raising her index finger and giving him a follow me motion before walking away. He watched her walk towards the gates of Seireitei with a graceful motion and it took him a few moments to realize that she was going to take him into the walls of the city.. He bit his lip and looked back at Rukongai one last time before following her into the gates.
Within the Walls of Seireitei...
Akira later went on to find out that the blade he possessed was too a zanpakutō. He almost couldn't believe it at first as he looked down at the blade in his hands... The female went on to explain that he had powers that normal human souls did not have. He continued to follow her as she kept going on about how some departed human souls came into Rukongai with supernatural powers. He nearly laughed at her comment and shook his head, "Listen miss. I appreciate your kindness and all, but I'm nothing but a hired sword. I'm no supernatural ghost or anything..."
He turned around and started walking back towards the gates before she said in a hushed but very calm voice, "How long have your dreams been haunting you?" He stopped dead weight in his tracks and froze at the impact of her words... How had she known... He looked back at her with defeat carried deep in his eyes, "Long enough... How did you know...?" She walked up towards him and took his hand, "Come with me. Become a Shinigami and awaken that zanpakutō of yours. Then, if you still wish to know, I will tell you. I see great potential in you Akira. Don't let it go to waist."
And so he took her up on her offer. He went to the Academy and trained his heart out to become a Shinigami so that he could finally unlock the mysteries of his past. He indeed did have potential he noticed as he excelled in the ranks of first year students in his class. He worked hard and true being sure to learn all he could about being a Shinigami for the day he might need it. And if it doesn't work out, at least he knew he could make more money from fighting now.
He later went on to find out that the female who had introduced him into Seireitei had deserted Soul Society and went out to become a rogue; an Onigami. He kept his anger deep within him and clenched his fist... With his eyes closed he walked back to his quarters before slamming the door shut behind him. He sat down on his cushion and slammed his fist hard against it... He vowed silently to himself to find her one day and to have her unlock the mysteries of his past...
Be it willingly or by force...

Name: Shisōu, (Look or Shadow of Death.)
Description: Shisōu, The Shadow of Death.
-Sealed:
-Shikai: Aika (Lament): Shisōu. Once released, Shisōu's blade extends and grows jet-black with flames of green etched into the blade. The Blade curves at the tip leaving it thicker than the length of the blade to cause a heavier impact. Also, attached to the hilt is a chain about 4 feet long that is attached to a smaller curved blade used for defense or quick attacks.
*Unknown* -Bankai: Amakudaru (Descend from Heaven): Shisōu. A thick haze follows the edge of Shisōu that nearly completely engulfs its form. The dagger at the end of the chain also begins to gain the same aura as it lengthens into more of a short sword.
Spirit Description:
Shisōu is a spirit wolf that has long watched over Akira without his knowledge. His anger and reserve matches Akira's and their emotions tend to mix between each other every so often.
Attacks:
Shikai:
Hands of Darkness: Bounds the opponent to shadows around them if their own shadow is at least 3/4s covered. However, Holding opponents for exceeded amounts of time causes a strain to be placed on Akira depending on how much of a fight his opponent puts up against his hold. Because of this, he only uses this in dire cases. (This ability DOES stack with Reaitsu's overpowering effect. Meaning, he could use this and Reaitsu to possibly have a greater chance to stun a stronger foe if only for a moment.)
Immunities:
100 more Reiatsu than Akira: Full Immunity
25 - 99 More Reiatsu: Partial Immunity. You'll still have the ability to walk but with partial drag at your feet.

If your attack is more than 40 below Akira's Attack, your attack will be blocked.
Shield lasts as long as long as he spins his blade.
Spinning the tail blade will cause Akira to gain 5 Attack and 5 Reiatsu Per post of it spinning.
At any time he is able to launch a blade of pure shadow aura at his opponent after charging his blade. However, this will cause the blade to lose all gained Reiatsu gained from charging it. He will have to wait 3 posts before attempting to Charge Reiatsu to his blade again.
Bankai: *Unknown*
The Aura placed around Shisōu is able to act as an outer blade if it contacts the skin when Bankai is released. This means that blocking his blade too close to you may not guarantee that you still got away unharmed! The aura is precisely 2 inches out from his blades and is passive during Bankai only. This has no affect on players with more than 60 Reiatsu than him.
Shin'i (Might of Heaven.) - Shadows in the surrounding area begin to grow twice their normal size.

If you're Anything else BEFORE the effect - 20% Drainage for 4 posts..

35*.2=7)
Shadow Axe:
Ability: If Blocked, it has a buckling affect on the opponent to knock them off balance.
Immunities:
If greater than Akira's Current Attack: Buckling will not happen.

Shadow Hound:
Ability: The Hound can move freely around the area. It shares in his strength and holds a similarity to Shisōu. The wolf however is also affected by Reiatsu in that a person with higher Reiatsu can freeze the wolf if the numbers are correct. The wolf shares the same passive ability as Akira.
Shadow Binds:
Ability: Can bind the opponent for 1 post.
Immunities:
Equal or greater than Akira's current attack: You can break it with no side affects.
