Sealed Appearance:
Spirit’s Name: Natsumi, Ayumu and Niko
Spirit’s Appearance:
Spirit’s Personality: Natsumi, Ayumu and Niko are three sisters that are very different in personality. Niko, the smallest, is quiet feisty and ready to go for every fight. Most the time she is making elaborate pranks on her other sisters when she’s not training. Ayumu, the middle sister, is very sporty and loves to do everything physical. She is found most times playing soccer or running. Natsumi, the oldest, is a very caring person. She is like the mom of the girls and loves to dance.
Inner World:

Shikai

Call Out Command: Awaken
Appearance: This is on both arms.

Niko is the smallest one with the Mohawk. The hooded one is Ayumu and the one all the way to the left is Natsumi.
Abilities: Akira controls all of his puppets with minute finger actions. Each one is ohld by strings of reiatsu. This means that they are near impossible to cut since they are both invisible and part intangible. The arms and part of the puppets have many hidden blades and spikes as well as reiatsu canons/guns. Akira can summon and desummon the puppets at will so he can fight with just one or all three if he chooses.
Ayumu has the most reiatsu guns hidden under her shroud, Niko has the most spikes and claws and Natsumi has the most blades.

Boosts: Akira's kido use, speed, dexterity and intelligence increase.

Bankai

New Name: Names stay the same.
Appearance:
The other three puppets are the changed forms of Ayumu, Natsumi and Niko. Summoning works the same. Ayumu is the one on the right and Natsumi is the biggest in the middle, while Niko is the smallest one dead center. Ayumu is fast and extremely strong, as due to all of her sport playing. Her brute strength is the greatest. She is the Bakudo outlet. Natsumi has the strongest armor, she is slower but acts as a wall or an overwhelmer due to her size, this form comes from her protective nature. She is the Hado outlet. Niko becomes the even smaller form an is the fastest puppet by far. She is used for quick surprise attack or assassination style attacks. She can not use Kido but can camouflage her appearance and reiatsu while moving around, when not in direct attacking or combat. This all comes from her hard training and prankster ways.
Abilities: Same as Shikai
Boosts: Yet again, Akira's kido use, speed, dexterity and intelligence increase. Before each battle Natsumi is pre-chanted with 3 Bakudo and Ayumu is pre-chanted with 3 Hado.

Back Drop

Background: As a human, Akira was one of the greatest mangaka. His first name actually came from the famous Akira Toriyama. All day Akira dreamed of battle and characters, secretly wishing that it would all become real. One day, while walking home from the studio, Akira was jumped by four men. He fought as hard as he could, but he was overpowered and brutally beaten. Two days later he died in the hospital.
As a shinigami, Akira excelled. He always had a feeling in the back of his mind like he had been training for something like this before. He felt an overwhelming happiness towards his life and couldn't seem to explain why. He figured he must have been a samurai as a human or something because battle strategy just seemed to flow to him like a story. Once graduating from the academy, Akira quickly showed interest in the 5th Squad. It seemed to hold so much history that he just felt drawn to it.
His fame grew as his powers developed. His unique spirit was one that seemed to attract a lot of attention. Many shinigami had split spirits but three was almost unheard of. The other shinigami joked that he must have had some wild imagination as a human for such a spirit type to develop.
Akira trained hard, and became the captain of his beloved squad. Happy, Akira has thought of making a journal of his life to share with future generations. He figures he should make it with a lot of pictures so people will stay interested.
Side Note: Akira chants to his puppets each morning to set there instant fire Kidos for the day.
RP Sample: No thanks.

...Hm.. I don't particularly see anything wrong with it.. Then again I've never seen a puppeter character on this forum.. So as long as no one else has an issue with it I approve.

Reason why I didn't approve this earlier was because I was thinking along the same lines as Sharu, but waited just to make sure. Approved.
