Name: Parius Chitose
Age: Around 18
True Age: 80
Sex: Male
Personality: When he was a Human, Parius was quite lively, to the point of being a clown. After he dies, he retains these traits. Though he acts like a fool, Parius is quite perceptive in battle, able to quickly perceve things others would find, unimportant, and use them against his oppenents, and keep them off track. Parius believes in not killing his oppenent, going as far as to protect them. When he gets serious, however, his personality flips. Parius shows no mercy, and will allow no one to get in his way. This usually happens when he fights someone who criticly injures him, or someone he cares about. This also happens (Sometimes, if he's desperate enough) when he's alone with an oppenent.
Likes: Parius likes to read manga, in his spare time. While reading, he also enjoys some Sake. He will only have one or two cups, though. Parius also enjoys staring at the moon, to collect his thoughts. This act started when he resolved to become a Shinigami.
Fears:His greatest fear is not being able to protect those he loves. If that happens, he shuts down, and will not talk for many days. He also has an irrational fear of fish, leading to many ridicoulus events. He's also afraid of dying, again.

Fighting Style
General Fighting Style: Parius is a quick fighter, showing considerable speed. He could be considered a Shunpo Expert, though his speed is greatly more powered up in Shikai. He is able to analyze the area around him quickly, as well, having multiple strategies, before attacking. He comes up with these on the fly, though, against stronger enemies, he might have more trouble coming up with a strategy. When Parius actually gets serious though, he becomes more deadly, and will aim to kill.
Strengths: Parius is a blade specialist. He feels more comfortable with a blade in his hand, than any other weapon, especially katanas. Parius can go on a long time in fights, with an opponent of equal power. Stronger enemies tax him more, to the point he has to make a drastic getaway. He can also take very powerful hits, and keep going. He is of normal strength, exercising regularly, though he tries to get out of it, alot of the time.
Weaknesses: Parius doesn't like Kidou. He feels it drags the battle on longer than it should. He only learned one, and is barely able to use it. His joking nature also leads him to fight with less then he should, leading to more wounds than he probably should get.
Zanpakuto & Kidou
Sealed Appearance: A Normal katana, with a black sheath. The hilt has a white dragon, spinning into the sheath.

Spirit’s Appearance:
Anokoku has white, long hair, with two long pieces hanging off the side of his head, and some of it hangs in his face. He has piercing, blue eyes, and wears a black, long sleeved shirt, black pants, and black boots. He is of slight build, and stands just a bit above Parius.
Spirit’s Personality: Anokoku is very different than Parius, being the serious one. But, Parius has said that Anokoku's seriousness leads him to forget important things while in battle. Parius has also stated that Anokoku's personality is a bit bloodthirsty. If someone even tries to make fun of, or insult him, or Parius, Anokoku immediatly wishes to kill that person. As a team, Parius and Anokoku work well together, with both able to coordinate attacks quite well.
Inner World: A black room, with a single lightbulb. Parius really doesn't like his inner world, but it fits Anokoku perfectly.

Shikai
Call Out Command: Blacken the Sky, Anokoku
Appearance: The Katana turns black, and the immediate area around Parius grows darker.
Abilities: !
1.When Parius swings Anokoku, It creates any blade type weapon, made entirely of darkness. But, the strength of the weapon is determined by by two things. 1. Rage. When Parius starts to get angry, the blades become considerably more powerful, and more variants are made. 2. Injuries. How much damage Parius takes is equaled in his Shikai. If he's perfectly fine, the blade is. The more damage he takes, the more the blade will break, to the point were an enemy can break the easily.
2.Another ability is that Parius can temporarily, turn the immediate 20 feet around him into complete darkness. Using a ball, he can throw this technique, as well.(For 1 to 2 posts, depending on how much power he puts into it.) He mostly uses this to get out of a situation.
3.Another ability he has, though it requires alot of power, is a beam, fired from the tip of his blade, in which he puts his full power into it. This is mostly used when he actually gets serious, and needs to kill his enemy. He fires the beam, by saying "End it all, Anokoku." The beam is is almost every ounce of energy Parius has. It is powerful enough to leave a considerable crater in the ground, at least 20 fet all around
3.His least used ability is that he can create a doppelganger us himself. This is used in the most serious of times, when he thinks he is about to die. It also used a lot of energy, as much as the ball of darkness. The clone can dodge, tuant, and attack, but can only take, about 4 hits. It can stay on for at least 5 posts, depending on the power put into it.
Boosts: Speed X-2 Strength X-1.5

3.If someone fires any energy attack, Parius can block it, but mix his own Riestu with, blasting it back. It deals double damage. Parius starts this, by saying, Redirect it, Anokoku.

Back Drop
Background: When Parius was alive, he led a good life in Tokyo, Japan. He had many friends, and had a great family. However, he came down with an illness at 17. It was something the doctors had never seen before. They said he would be dead within the week. But, to the disbelief of his doctors, Parius managed survive. He fought, and fought, untli his 18th birthday. That day, he had a talk with his father. He said "You've been through alot, and I know the doctors have not come up with a cure. You just need to hold on, my boy." Parius chuckled at that, and said "I know, father. I know" Later that day, Parius died, with a smile on his face, and all his family there. He found himself outside of his body, with a broken chain on his chest. He soon found out that he could pass through the walls. He said goodbye to his family, though they didnt seem to hear him, and left. Parius enjoyed himself. He wandered for hours, just looking at things that peeked his intrest. When he finally stopped looking around, he noticed it was the middle of the night. Then, a chill went up his spine. He turned, only to find a monster behind him. Parius ran, but the beast was always behind him. He knew it would catch him, so he dove into the nearest alleyway. The monster looked around, and roared in rage that it couldn't find its prey. Parius thought he had gotten away, when it looked into the alley, and started towards him. Parius thought it had seen him, when he heard a whimper behind him. He looked back, to see an older man, with a chain, like his. Then he realized the monster was going for him, instead of Parius. I can't let this happen. Parius thought. Looking back to the monster to see that it was almost at the opening, he knew he had one chance. Parius sprang from where he was, and ran past the beast, looking back long enough to see that it had taken the bait. Parius ran for a bit longer, before stopping at an desolite construction site. He turned, knowing he was going to die again. He closed his eyes, waiting for pain. It never came. Parius heard a yell, and opened his eyes. He saw a man, wearing very old clothes. The man turned to him, and said "It's time to go." Parius nodded, thinking "This must be that Konsō, I've heard about." The man used the end of his sword, and lightly tapped him in the head. Parius felt strange, and fell asleep. When he woke, he found himself in a town, modeled after Fuedal Japan. After walking a bit, he came to a clearing, much like the parks inthe Human World. He came across a group of kids, around his age, just sitting around a campfire. Seeing no other alternative, Parius asked to join them. One of them, a boy with spiky, blonde hair, jumped up, and started harrasing him. Parius had no idea what he had done to the boy, and tried to apologize. The boy then struck him, and stared. Parius had no idea what to do, when a man got up, and came over. The boy backed off, and Parius got a good look at the man. He was tall, and built. He had unkempt black hair. Parius couldn't see his eyes. The man then barked at him to get up. Parius sat there, unsure of what to do. The man grabbed him by the front of the shirt, and pulled him up. He said that he would give him a chance to join them, as they took in homeless sould. But, they have to prove themselves, by winning a fight. Parius did not know if he wanted to do this, but the man never gave him a chance to think. The man threw Parius a few yards away, and demanded 2 Bokken be brought. A couple of boys brought him the Bokken, which were red. He threw one at Parius, and took up a stance. Parius had never fought before, and he tried to explain that, when the man attacked. PArius tried to put up his Bokken, but the man broke it in half, and hit him in the chest, driving the wind out of his lungs. Parius couldn't believe how hard he had been hit. He flew back, and hit a tree. As his vision began to turn black, he man scoffed, and walked away. Parius held out his hand, and passed out. When he woke, he vowed to become stronger, to beat this man, and regain his dignity.
First Real Fight
So began his time in the Rukongai. It had been 2 years since then, and Parius had been training with a Bokken, desperate to become stronger. He had challenged many people. Some fights he won, but he also lost many. Every battle made him stronger, and changed him. He became a bit more serious, though, at heart, he was still light hearted. Soon he knew that he was as ready as he was ever going to be. He also learned of others who had been attacked by this man. They told him of his name. Kira, the word for killer. Parius told them that he would defeat that man. Many laughed at his face. He never cared. He soon caught up to that man, and challenged him. He suprised him by using his name. Kira laughed, but, seeing PArius was serious, asked for a blade. Parius was suprised, thinking they would fight with Bokken. Kira stated that if Parius was serious, then they should fight seriously. Parius agreed. A katana was brought to him. Kira attacked first, like last time. Parius managed to get his blade up in time, only for Kira to attack again, cutting his shoulder, almost the whole way through. Parius gasped, as he had never felt pain like this. He almost passed out again, but something kept him going. He kept standing, though barely, much to the amazment of Kira. Kira then stabbed at his heart. As the hit was coming, PArius knew he couldn't dodge it. He gave up. But then, a voice in his head said "If you give up, you die. Don't give in, ever. Use your inner strength, and defeat him!" Parius asked for a name, but heard nothing else. Thats when he felt an explosian of power, and he felt better. Parius had released his first burst of Spiritual Pressure, and the blast knocked Kira back. Kira yelled at Parius, demanding he explain. Parius answered by stabbing Kira, through the stomach. Kira's eyes opened in suprise, as Parius pulled the blade back through him. Parius explained that he had done enough damage to injure him ,and keep him off his feet for a couple of weeks. But, he also said that if he learned he had bullied anyone else, like he had with Parius, he would return, and finish the job. He threw the katana, and it stook in the grouund, in front of the blonde boy, who had hit Parius 2 years ago. The boy walked up to Parius, and told him his name was Lee, and he was sorry for hitting him. Parius smiled, and accepted it. Lee asked Parius if he could come with him. Parius said yes, but asked him where to start, as he still had no idea where they were. Lee said that they could find jobs, then get a house. Parius agreed that it was a good idea, and they set off to take on the Rukongai.
Hollow attacks
25 years had passed, and life was good for Parius and Lee. Parius had gotten a job keeping the fires hot in a blacksmith shop, and Lee worked at a tea shop. They had bought a house, and, soon had many other friends, some of which stayed with them. The house wasnt much, but it worked. The only thing that looked expensive, was a katana, with a dragon wrapping around the sheath, on a stand, by their fire. Parius got this when he had convinced an annoyed customer to keep buying from his shop, when his order was mixed up. In gratitude, the owner gave this to Parius. Many Shinigami passed through the tea shop where Lee worked, and Lee heard the stories of brave Shiningami, and the Gotei 13. Lee came to the house, and said that one day, he too would join the Gotei 13. Parius and all their friends wished him luck, and threw a big party to celebrate. Lee eventually asked Parius if he would join with him. Parius said no, and explained why. Ever since his fight with Kira, Parius wanted to remain as care-free as possible. Lee was dissapointed, but didn't press the issue. That's when they heard a scream, from the clearing where Kira usually was. Parius looked at Lee, and bolted out the door, grabbing the katana. When he got there, he found Kira, and his gang, dead. Parius looked away, in disgust, when he was knocked in shoulder. The blow knocked him through the air. When he landed, he managed to look. He saw a monster, like the one when he was attacked in the Human World. Lee had instructed Parius about them. He now knew they were called Hollows, and that eat souls. This one looked like a lizard, but with white armor on each of its legs, like bracers. Its mask was plain, but had 4 spikes arced skyward. He knew thats what had happened to Kira, and grew nervous. Then, he heard crying. Looking back, there was a small boy there. Parius knew that the boy stood no chance, so he stood and taunted the Hollow. When it came at him, he looked at the boy, and told him to run, and find the nearest Shinigami. When the boy ran, Parius turned his attention back to the Hollow. He thought back to Lee, and all his friends. That's when he felt the same explosian of power from 55 years ago, when he fought with Kira. He attacked, and managed to hit the Hollow, but it seemed not to do anything, when its tail whipped, and hit him again. Even with that explosian of power, Parius couldn't beat the Hollow. He knew he was finished, when a cut appeared on the Hollow. Parius looked around, and saw a man, in Shinigami clothing. Then he realized he recognized him. This was the same Shinigami that performed the Soul Burial on him. He got a good look at him this time, though. He was very muscular, and had purple, slicked back hair, that he had put into a ponytail. He wore the standerd Shinigami uniform. Parius was shocked, and asked the Shinigami's name. He didn't answer, and proceeded to attack the Hollow, managing to break its mask in one hit. The Hollow runs, and dissapears. Parius began to get up, only to be kicked down by the Shinigami. Parius yelled at him, asking him why he was keeping him pinned down. The Shinigami only looked at him. Then he dissapeared. Parius looked around, but couldn't find him. So, he picked up the katana, sheathed it, and went home.
Bliss Ruined
35 years later, Parius has forgotton about the lizard Hollow, and Lee is enrolled in
the Shinigami Acadamy. Parius still works at the blacksmith's, though now, he can forge weapons. Parius and Lee had been training with each other, and each had become noticebly better than they were. Parius had seen the Shinigami from that night around, but he always dissapeares before Parius could talk to him. Parius knew he might never catch up to the man, but still tried. Parius noticed, that, in chasing this man around, he was getting noticebly faster. Parius put this to use, when he trained with Lee. Lee was, steadily, getting better, but Parius, having trained longer than Lee, always came out on top. This only made Lee try even harder, making more mistakes, which Parius used, to his advantage. Lee, every once in a while, tells Parius he should join the Gotei 13. Parius still wanted to be free, though, and always politely turns him down. One day, Parius was tending to his forge, and when he does that, he barely hears anything else, because of the noise from the forge, and his own concentration. Parius still managed to hear someone scream. He looked, but saw nothing out his window. Shrugging it off, he went back to his forge, when the wall exploded. Parius manged to get out of the way, but got cut up on the way through. After getting back up, he looked, and saw the body of the man who owned the blacksmith shop. Parius bowed his head to him, thanking him for everything. Parius then got worried about what could throw a man through a wall, and ran home. Everywhere he looked, all he saw was devestation, and death. Parius got to his house, to find it in shambles. But. no bodies, he noticed. Thanking whatever gods there were, he ran towards the sounds of screaming
Parius found himself at the Kira's old grounds. Bodies were everywhere. One limp form, he recognized. It was Lee, a katana by his side. Parius ran up to him, and found that Lee was still breathing, though barely. Parius shook him ,asking what had happened. Lee said one word, which shook Parius to the core. Hollow. Parius wondered where the Shinigami were, when Lee told Parius to hold on, and never forget who he was. Lee died, and Parius lost his one, true friend. After mourning, Parius heard a sound. Picking up the katana, he turned to it, only to see the lizard hollow, though it was bigger, and had more spikes than before. Parius, first felt fear, then, a white hot rage overtook him. He drew his katana, and faced the creature. (This is where I'll start the RPing.)
Side Notes: Parius is afraid of fish, becouse, as a boy, he fell into the water, and was attacked by a giant fish. It left him terrified.
RP Sample:
Parius stood, looking at the Hollow, which took everything from him. He felt a rage, the likes of which he had never felt before. The explosion of power, from all those times before, came up in a swirl around him. "You, your'e not going to leave this field alive. I am going to make sure of it." The hollow roared in response.
Parius held up the katana, and charged at the Hollow, swinging for the leg. The Hollow jumped, and evaded the attack. Parius jumped after it, and swung again, this time aiming for one of the spikes, growing from its mask, and sliced one off. The Hollow growled, in pain. It fell back to the ground, Parius following it. He slashed again, missed, and the Hollow attacked. It brought it's tail, and hit Parius, hard, in the midsection. He flew back, and managed to land on his feet. Parius acknowledged the hit, and rubbed his stomach. He looked back at the Hollow. It was advancing on him. Parius tried to find anything he can use. He saw nothing. SO, with no other alternative, he faced the oncoming charge. He waited till the last moment, and jumped. The hollow slid, and Parius saw his chance.
Channeling the energy into this last swing, Parius brought the katana down onto the head of the Hollow, cutting it's head in half. It dissolved, and Parius felt the power fade away again. He dropped the katana, and ran to Lee. It was night, and Parius could barely see, but he found him. Parius dropped to both knees, and closed Lee's eyes. He looked up at the moon, and said. "Lee, I will continue your legacy. I will become a Shinigami."
