The Beginnings
[/center]Siku was born on December 1st, 1801, inside his father's dojo in the country of Japan. After giving birth to her child, Siku's mother Asuka had lost a great deal of blood, and modern medicine was unable to sustain her life. Holding her first child in her arms and playing with him, her pulse died out slowly, Siku beginning to cry out as if he knew what was happening.
Siku's father Saito had lost the love of his life, and he was a firm believer that she was the only one for him. Siku brought him great despair, and coldness took hold of him as soon as the first day, drowning away his misery in sake. When Siku was born his life was ruined, and he seemed to feel as though Siku shouldn't have been born. Before the first month of Siku's life, he left Siku outside on accident, on a snowy winter night.
The wind nipped as Siku entered hypothermia as a infant, his eyes wavering and his lungs struggling to cry out for help, his only working instinct. With a blur of light and a black figure standing behind it, two hands held forth pointing the light at the child. Siku noticed a warm embrace as his body seemed to be tapped, and then a feeling overcame him, as if he was being moved. Within moments Siku found himself sitting in the middle of a dusty road, with many people making their way around. A woman from behind picked Siku up, and then suddenly they flashed away, her grip on Siku rather tight yet soothing.
Arriving in the Rukongai as a newborn, Siku was raised by this mysterious women who brought him warmth, food, shelter, but most of all affection. Raising Siku to age 30, he simply did as he pleased while receiving basic tutoring from the women. Siku was a fast learned, interested in the many things around him. Aging another 20 years, Siku was able to have conversations with people, speaking very clearly and fluently.
Now that he was age 50, Siku finally asked the women who she was, her name specifically. She told him that her name was Asuka, and that Siku was her son. Siku started to remember the first few moments his eyes were open as a newborn, recognizing the women to be his human mother. Siku began asking what had happened to him, not realizing to the full extent that he had died. It wasn't for another 50 years that Asuka would tell him the truth.
Within those nex 50 years however, Siku learned what the way of life around him was like, and how exactly the land was ruled. Siku now knew about the Shinigami, the Gotei 13, and Seireitei in-general. Having learned mathematics and english at a high school level, Siku dreamed about becoming a Shinigami.
Now at age 100, Siku's mother revealed what had actually happened to Siku as a child in the human world, and what she really was. She told him that she was a Shinigami, and that she was the one who granted him safe passage to the Rukongai. Asuka swore to Siku on that day she would help him become the greatest Shinigami of the Gotei 13. With endless youth and inspiration, Siku now practiced bokken with his mother Asuka when she had the free time in the afternoon, the early morning filled with errands to run for his mother, and also physically training himself by running around and helping people carry heavy things. He was a bright, cheery child who was willing to help for the sake of being nice.
Progressing another 50 years in his life, Siku reached 150 years old, looking like an age 15 human. His mental capacity reflected that of a college student now, and he was beginning to understand there was more to his body than flesh and bone. He soon learned of a thing called "Reiatsu", and how it effects Siku, as well as any other living being. Continuing his bokken training with his mother, the amount of time they practiced doubling, Siku began to take his training seriously, roaming the public regions while holding rocks against his back to gain extra strength in his legs, back, and shoulders.
His cardio was impressive, even to his mother, noting that Siku may have inherited her swift and agile mobility, or even gifted with her natural ability to use "Shunpo", or Flash Step. It was displayed by her soon after, Siku awed as he couldn't keep up with her. She remarked that was normal for those who were unfamiliar with the technique, or other forms of high-speed movement.
As Siku aged from 150 years old to 200, he was instructed to continue all of his normal training, but add in periods of meditation while he let a katana sit on his lap that his mother gave him as a birthday present at age 150. It was said to be special, something all Shinigami academy students used during their years of learning the way of the Shinigami and Zanpakuto.
With no luck at meditation, Siku persevered to age 200, his mother registering him for the Shinigami academy. He was skilled with his sword to some degree, but his skills with spiritual abilities seemed to thrive as he gained advanced knowledge on Reiatsu, Kido, and Shunpo. He had his mother Asuka to thank for all of this.
Going through the academy for 6 years, Siku had become competent and knowledgeable of all things Shinigami. His skills were starting to compare to his mother's as he neared graduation.
Shikai Obtainment/Graduation Day
[/center]On his last day, age 206, Siku had a graduation test. He was assigned to a squad of Shinigami, including his mother Asuka, Siku himself, and two other academy students. They were given the task of eradicating a single hollow in a place known as "Karakura town". Arriving to the scene, it was a dark night in the world of the living, and coldness swept through the air violently, thrashing about.
Tracking down the hollow, Asuka led the group to a dark fores. As she approached, a pair of red eyes appeared on the edge of the forest, as long white claws clenched two trees and brought them down. Letting out a roar, Siku's hands began to tremble as it slowly approached the group, using it's hands to crawl.
Asuka took lead immediately, ordering Siku to take her right flank. Stepping up to the plate, the hollow grew closer, noticing that Siku was shaking with fear. It's movement was sloppy and taunting, as it wavered back and forth before leaping in a B-line to Siku. Asuka deflected the charge with her Zanpakuto blocking the claws which struck for Siku, the hollow and her backing off. The other two academy students thought they could attack from behind with the opening after the clash, the hollow's back sprouting large white spikes as their Zanpakuto began to graze it's skin.
They were both struck by the spikes, one hit in the left collar bone/shoulder and stepping back, the other receiving two fatal stabs to the heart and liver. Their body dropped like a rag doll with their Zanpakuto on the ground as the hollow turned and began chomping the body. Biting off the head nad neck, it ate the small meal before turning back to Siku and Asuka, crunching the head between it's jaw as soon as they could see. Juices gushed from the brain cavity in the hollow's mouth, drooling it out onto the grass below as it stared at Siku.
The wounded student lost his footing and staggered backwards, the tip of the spike breaking off and sticking in him. The wounded hollow payed no attention to him, and soon it was explained as to why. The piece of the hollow inside the Shinigami exploded, incinerating his heart in an instant. Asuka stepped before Siku and the hollow before it could make another attack.
" Siku, stay behind me and stay alive. I will try to give you an opening. "
Asuka deflected a series of three strikes from the hollow as it pressed forward, taking the offensive quickly. Her Zanpakuto ringed with each strike, and on the third one it cracked. Siku could feel the tension growing with each strike, and his fear wellowed up inside him. The hollow made a fourth swipe straight towards Asuka's chest, her Zanpakuto brought up vertically to stop it.
It's large white claws left a glowing white trail behind them as it's swipe broke through her Zanpakuto nad through her chest. From the other side Siku witnessed the five claws piercing through her body entirely, blood soaking her attire within the first second. Withdrawing it's claws, Siku watched his mother drop to her knees. Her head turned slowly to the left, Asuka's eyes finding Siku's behind her. She spoke her last words to Siku, although there was complete silence. He didn't hear her, he heard a different voice, that of a man, as the Hollow made more movement.
" I'm so sorry Siku..- "
" Shukkō Shutsugen..- "
His mother Asuka had a face of sorrow, knowing what was to come. With another lunge, the Hollow skewered her body even more, blood splattering everywhere and her eyes and face wincing in pain. Siku stood there as he watched her body go limp within seconds, his Zanpakuto raging with Reiryoku. His single Zanpakuto was engulfed in the azure energy as it separated in two swords, Siku golding them in his hands as he barely knew what he was doing. His eyes held streams now, and forward Siku brought himself to the Hollow as it pulled it's hand from his mother's body. Chopping off the Hollow's arm, Siku flew up and behind the shoulder of the amputated arm, twisting around and cleaving off the leg in the same motion.
This all came together as instinct as Siku watched the Hollow fall over, unbalanced. Bringing himself to the head of the beast now, both of his Zanpakuto skewered it's eye sockets, a loud screaming coming from the Hollow as it began to freeze over head first. With a abnormal amount of Reiryoku disposed of, Siku fainted from that and the overwhelming amount of emotions he felt.
Fuku-Taichou
[/center]Soon after Siku trained himself slightly in the way of his Shikai, learning very much about his Zanpakuto spirit. With the Sanbantai in need of proper lead, they appointed Siku to Fuku-Taichou, and allowed him temporary lead as a pseudo Taichou figure. Conducting the paperwork since it was easy enough if you had the time to sit down and read, Siku took on the mantle of responsibility.
One of his subordinates wanted to have a match with Siku after beign made Fuku-Taichou, and from all his time sitting at his desk in the Sanbantai he got rusty. He slipepd up, allowing a wound on his right eye. It isn't gone, merely a scar over his eye lids and an eye much more pale than the other, revealing the obvious wound for what it is. His right eye has been blind ever since.
Now more than ever, Siku has wanted to grow stronger, better. His mind seeks progress and evolution, to prove that he can lead the Sanbantai as the rightful Taichou. This will take much time from Siku, but he has begun devising and contemplating on what he will do to make the Sanbantai, and Seireitei, a much better place.
Personality:
Shinigami
Like many others, Siku is one of thousands who fend off the hollow in order to maintain a spiritual balance. However he is not particularly aiming to be a dog of the Gotei 13, Siku still wants to learn all he can about being a Shinigami, and how to become more powerful. This is both a selfish and unselfish goal, as he wants power for himself, however the reason being to avenge his mother by killing off any hollow in his sight. Siku considers his fellow Shinigami to be his Brothers and Sisters, as he has never had any.
Anti-Establishment
Siku doesn't like the idea of a group of people, or even a single person dictating his actions. Yes he takes orders, but deep down Siku knows that he doesn't have to do what they say, as nobody can move his muscles but himself. He has small traces of a rebel inside him, however Siku wants to stay safe until he grows stronger.
Scholar
Siku has taken a large interest in the information and knowledge around him. His skill in the arts of Shunpo and Kido outweigh many Shinigami of his age, and his tactical and analytical mindset allow him to make evaluations and adjustments to cope with the situation on the battlefield.
Valor
Siku goes on missions, trains, and fights hollow valiantly, winning all of his bouts thus far. He kills hollow with endless hatred which burns as it courses through his veins. His hands are basked in the blood of hollow, and there is no guilt, only satisfaction for the triumph.
Romance
Siku is attracted to girls, their bodies alluring and enticing. However he has no actual experience with companionship, and struggles to keep check on his emotions. Regardless he still tries every so often when he stumbles across a cute Shinigami girl who smiles at him, even if he fails and retreats to his barracks afterward.
Social
Siku is very reclusive and likes to keep to himself. He has been unhappy and plagued ever since that day, wishing to himself that he would have never became a Shinigami in the first place, so that his mother wouldn't have needed to die. Socially Siku struggles, only good at taking orders, giving nobody except Taichou and Fuku-Taichou the respect he has to give.
Loyalty
Siku is loyal to the Gotei 13 because they taught him about his powers, but that is it. Besides that fact, Siku feels they are all just departed humans wielding swords and claiming political or physical power. He wishes for real freedom, so that he can make any choice he wants without any consequence.

Healing Kidō:
Reiatsu Techniques:
Zanjutsu Techniques:[/s]
Soul Weapon
[/b]Zanpakuto
[/b][/color]Name: Shukkō Shutsugen [Departed Apparition]
Zanpakuto Spirit: Shutsugen
Inner World: A dark dojo, seeming to be night time. This dojo is colored with black wood for the frame of the structure, and white paper to seal away the view of the inside from outside. There is back room with a sliding door that enters into a garden of ice-covered statues and garden flowers that are frozen in a layer of ice. The garden is exceptionally cold, and Siku prefers to stay in the dojo.
Spirit Persona: Shutsugen is often quiet and takes the role as Siku's mentor; his teacher. He is wise and speaks with this wisdom, always attempting to keep Siku on his right path. Although, to the Soul Society, his path may not be something they would appreciate. Shutsugen says that Siku isn't meant to be in the Seireitei, and that his existence there is useless. Shutsugen favors the idea of Siku going rogue and leaving Seireitei in his past. Siku however feels his love for comrades is more than enough to keep him there, until he grows bored of it, or decides Shutsugen is only picking what favors Siku the most.
Sealed form: Dual Zanpakuto
Shikai:
Release Phrase: Creep, Shukkō Shutsugen
Shikai Appearance: Two swords. These measure at 4'0", the handle being just a foot, and every outer edge of the black Zanpakuto is bladed, giving Siku various ways to use this weapon. The reason for having two Zanpakuto, is a symbol that Siku not only fights for himself, but as well as for his mother, Asuka.
Name: Rei Renraku [Ghost Touch]
Type: Passive
Cost: 1A
Details: When Siku lands a hit on an opponent with either of his Shikai's Zanpakuto, the general area of where it was hit is deprived of all the energy used to heat the flesh and blood, the zanpaktou of Siku's drawing out all the energy being used to heat the specific/limb area, and inserting it's passive Reiatsu to be used as energy to "heat" the body. Although, it's such a low temperature, getting colder with each strike to the same place more than once. This can only be healed in a variety of ways, as it has technically hit a temperature where it is already dead flesh by the 6th strike. For greater effects on the area hit, another strike must be made on the same area to add up the strike counters. This is similar to how people say they feel cold when a ghost is very close to them, they say they feel the heat leaving their body. While making contact with Siku's Zanpakuto, even the handle, can cause someone other than Siku to experience the same effects of this technique. This can also work by keeping one of the Shikai swords embedded in something and constantly draining it's heat, each post counting as 2 strike counters. This costs a 1A each post it is in use.
(1.) When an opponent's chest is effected by the equivalent of 3 strikes, their core temperature reduces drastically, sending them into hypothermia if they can NOT prevent it.
(2.) To keep the stack going, Siku must make contact in the general area struck within 3 posts between each strike, otherwise it begins to melt.
(3.) For instances when multiple strikes have been made in the same area, and 2 posts pass by before another strike or touch is made, on that 2nd post and including it, every post that passes defrosts/melts a single strike counter's worth of damage, reducing back down to nothing in due time.
(4.) To stack this technique, the second hit and so on would need to be within 4 inches of the original strike, however it spreads through the specific limb or extremity it touched. If the hand is touched, then the hand is what will freeze, stopping at the wrist, the forearm stopping at the elbow if it were to freeze, and so on. However the torso is the only exception, the front freezing if hit in the front, and the back if struck there.
Here is a chart:
1 Strike: Light blue skin coloring, lightly frozen skin tissue. Can crack if hit directly/indirectly.
2 Strikes: Slightly darker blue skin coloring, frozen skin layer. Can crack if hit directly/indirectly.
3 Strikes: Medium blue skin coloring, the skin layer is frozen solid, and the first inch of flesh is beginning to freeze over just as the skin. Skin layer can shatter is hit directly/indirectly.
4 Strikes: Blue skin coloring, skin layer is frozen off and dead. The first inch of flesh is now frozen solid. The skin and first inch of flesh can crack or shatter, even crumble, if hit directly/indirectly.
5 Strikes: Dark blue skin coloring, completely frozen. Improving greater than the last upon each strike, three inches into the flesh is now freezing over into a blue hue. Can shatter, crack, and crumble if hit directly/indirectly.
6 Strikes: Black skin coloring, completely frozen off and dead to the bone. Can easily crumble away, turn into dust or small particles, from simple/weak movements ad direct/indirect hits. This is now dead flesh.
Notice: For each rank higher, add 1 strike on for similar results. For each lower rank, the amount of strikes needed is lowered by 1. Anyone 2 ranks or higher than Siku is not effected by this.
Name: Azamuku Shutsugen [Deceiving Apparition]
Type: Offensive
Cost: 2B
Details: Apparition(s) can be made that look exactly like Siku's Zanpakuto in it's Shikai, which acts through Siku's mental command(s). These apparition(s) cost a level 2B each. The apparition(s) can move at bala speeds. The apparition(s) can NOT physically hurt anything, but when the ghostly sword phases through the opponent, the Shikai ability "Rei Renraku" applies to the apparition's strike. If hit by an opponent's attack, the apparition is destroyed immediately regardless of rank. These apparitions give off a faint trace of Siku's reiatsu signature and strength, making them feel as powerful as Siku's current rank. Up to 20 can be summoned at once. For every apparition summoned, after 2 posts of life needs a maintenance cost of a level 5 for an extra 2 posts. Also the maintenance cost can be disregarded at will, and they reduce to nothing, killing themselves off instantly. These can only move within 20 feet of Siku.
Name: Rei Katachi [Ghost Form]
Type: Supplementary
Cost: 2B
Details: Siku is able to pay a level 2B kido cost to activate this technique, making it last two posts. A maintenance cost can be applied for a level 1B each post after it should have expired. His Shikai's katana is now in it's ghost form, similar to the sword used as the apparition from Siku's Shikai technique "Azamuku Shutsugen", however unable to be destroyed, simply phashing through everything, even other Zanpakuto. This adds on an extra strike counter each time his katana phases through the opponent's body. The sword is NOT able to be used as a physical weapon [however is still wielded in Siku's hand like one], and doesn't cut, or actually hit the opponent when it phases through them. Using this on more than one of his two Zanpakuto can be risky against a dominant melee fighter.
Name: Sōrei [Poltergeist]
Type: Offensive
Cost:
Details: Within 20 yards, any object Siku can see with his eyes, or feel with his Reiatsu sensing is subject to this technique. He can pull or push the object or target with enough force to even send an opponent off balance. Each time a movement is made, it costs that of a level 5B on Siku. This moves the object being targeted with equivalent physical force to a 5B technique. This is an invisible technique, however it is actually Siku's Reiatsu which is causing the pushing or pulling sensations, now being very precise with it's dealings. This moves objects up to 500 lbs. This moves the target at cero speeds, but is rather unexpected and abrupt.
