HOW DO YOU LOOK?;

Kai is a boy with a fairly tall and skinny body, perfectly built for speedy and agile maneuvers. Though skinny he is not without muscles, the result of years of intense training for his profession as a Shinigamiami. With a physique like his, one which would cause even the gods to envy him, it is known that Kai has noble blood flowing in his veins. He is a member of noble Nakamori clan. Physically Kai's body is at tip-top shape, almost flawless for his body-frame and age. In other words it's a well toned physique befitting of a respectable Shinigami. The young lad's posture is perfect and gives him a noble air which is further cemented with every carefully measured step, every efficient motion, and every proud stance. The way he presents himself is found as a stunning quality. Standing tall and proud, head held high, shoulders back, and with a walk that commands your respect and your attention. The boy's skin is just as peachy as his attitude.

Many have seen the light hazel eyes that are born onto most of the Nakamori clan. Eyes are a steely, reassuring royal Hazel color as most in the great Nakamori clan. Eyes that are a nice royal Hazel shading, a shade that can sometimes hint at yellow when in different lighting. These eyes hold a great deal of calmness and determination in them, always seeming to be analyzing, calculating, absorbing and then evaluating the things that happen around him. The deep eyes seem to go on forever, and his stare appears to see through everything and even into the hearts of people. His piercing eyes are unwavering in their gaze, constantly watching with all the precision of a hawk. Those eyes are truly his most intimidating feature.

The young Shinigami's face is very noble. He has a youthful face despite his somewhat mature attitude, he is considered quite the catch amongst the Females in the Soul Society. One of the unique qualities Kai holds in his physical appearance that is said to entice a person (male or female), is his smile. Many describe it as a one of those rare smiles, one that holds a quality of eternal reassurance in it. It seems to face the whole external world for an instant, and then, concentrates itself on that very person with an irresistible prejudice in the favor of them. A smile that understood a person just so far as they wanted to be understood, believed in them as they would like to believe in themselves, and assured them that it had precisely the impression that they, at their best, hoped to express. Smile that is capable of making the girls swoon. Kai does wear the normal Shinigami robe: White Juban Black Kimono/Robe, black Hakama and white Obi.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?;

PERSONALITY;

Kai is an intellectual shinigami; like many others he knows how to act during any situation and knows when to act. He will outsmart his enemies quite easily. He considers it a game to see how long it takes to confuse them, this is Kai's strategy in most cases. He does not at all like to use brute strength to win his battles. That doesn't mean he will not use it when he can't seem to win when using his wits.

Kai is extremely energetic, single-minded, and over-enthusiastic. He is characterized as being the epitome of a "nice guy". One such trait is his apparent lack of common sense, believing at times that he can get what he wants by not wanting it. He also has a keen sense of honor, and respects his opponents, refusing to hold grudges against those who have defeated him, and returning favors to those that have helped him. Kai is known for speaking respectfully to others, being very proper in English and Japanese language, and never using contractions or swearwords. He also uses formal Japanese, applying proper titles ("-san", "-kun", etc.) to anyone he meets.

Kai is also very caring. He will care for someone until they betray him one way or another. He'll often be very protective for his friends and will do anything he can to get them out of harms way. For the most part he can be a very charming boy with a very bubbly and outgoing attitude. He loves to give people hugs and is always nice. Though he seems a bit short for his age it is unwise to underestimate him as he is quite a skilled figher. He makes friends so easily and has an especially great friendship with those that were in his class before.

Dont' be fooled by his generally kind persona because Kai can be very mean at times too. He gotten very angry once when he had his cavity. In that situation he yelled at a dentist and then threw him across the room. But soon after he gave him a sincere apology and paid for the damage. Even though Kai might be viewed as a good swordsman, he has a very low self-esteem but forever tries his hardest to gain acknowledgement.

In dealing with ladies he is just a natural girl magnet being a loli-shota type of person. But he has a pure heart and has not exactly found a person to share love with. Along the lines of jealous men, Kai ignores them completely making them pissed off but in most cases Kai is last to spot jealously and is usually quite dense in such situations

ZANPAKUTO;

ZANPAKUTO NAME HERE Gouken

[X] Gouken in its unreleased form appears Naginata a pole weapon that was traditionally used in Japan by members of the samurai class. A naginata consists of a wooden shaft with a curved blade on the end; it is similar to the Chinese Guan Dao or European glaive or Russian sovnya. Usually it also had a sword-like guard (tsuba) between the blade and shaft.

The naginata, like many weapons, can be customized to fit the build of the bearer. Generally, the naginata shaft is the height of the bearer's body, with the blade mounted atop usually measuring two or three shaku (one shaku is equivalent to 11.93 inches, or 303 mm) long. Unlike most polearms, the shaft is oval in cross section to allow easy orientation of the blade, and ranges from 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2.1 meters) in length. The blade is usually curved, sometimes strongly so, towards the tip. As with Japanese swords, naginata blades were forged blades, made with differing degrees of hardness on the spine and edge to retain a sharp edge but also be able to absorb the stress of impact. Some naginata blades may, in fact, have been recycled katana blades. Note also at the opposite end of a naginata, the ishizuki, (a metal end-cap, often spiked, which functioned as a counterweight to the blade) was attached, rendering the naginata an effective weapon whichever end was put forward.

In contemporary naginatajutsu, there are two general constructions. The first, the kihon yo, is carved from one piece of Japanese white oak and is used for the practice of katas (forms). This is quite light, and may or may not feature the tsuba between the blade and shaft sections. The second type, the shiai yo, uses a similar wooden shaft, but the blade is constructed from bamboo and is replaceable as it can break through hard contact. This type is used in atarashii naginata, the bamboo blade being more forgiving on the target than a wooden or metal blade.

• Shikai Phrase: "Howl, Gouken"
  
  
• Shikai Appearence:

  [X] Gouken in Shinkai form takes an appearance of a type of Chinese pole weapon that is used in some forms of Chinese martial arts. In Chinese it is properly called a "reclining moon blade". It is comparable to a European fauchard or glaive and consists of a heavy blade with a spike at the back and sometimes also a notch at the spike's upper base that can catch an opponent's weapon. In addition there are often irregular serrations that lead the back edge of the blade to the spike. The blade is mounted atop a 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5-6 foot) long wooden or metal pole (In this case metal) with a pointed metal counter weight used to balance the heavy blade and for striking on the opposite end. The blade is very deeply curved and therefore unlike most polearms, solely useful for sweeping cuts where it relies on range and power.

  
  
  
• Shikai Abilities:

  
  Nenshou Kirinuki (Burning Cuts)
  This is a rather simple but yet effective ability that is active the moment Gouken is in shikai release. Every cut from the blade of Gouken burns the enemy, the deeper the cut the stronger the burn. This ability comes from Gouken's famous Wolf flames
  
  Kaze Seichuu (Wind Control)
  Gouken gives Kai the ability to use and control wind in all types of ways such as giving off strong currents and creating wind-based blasts. This ability has given young Kai the title of Kaze no Kai meaning Kai of the wind.
  
  Tenshoku Gouki (Calling Gouki) [X] Gouki is the twin headed dog who is a sibling of Gouken, he can only be called for when Kai has cut his enemy/opponent 10 times. Goki acts as a shield for Kai by wrapping around him and absorbing any kind of damage as far as projectiles (Including power blasts) and reflects them back at the enemy. Seeing how Kai hasn't quite mastered the technique of Gouki being his shield, each time Gouki absorbs an attack its grip around Kai gets tighter which puts a strain on his muscles. Gouki will remain Kai's shield until either Kai commands him not to or Kai becomes unconcious. In attack mode, Gouki releases itself from Kai and Kai fuses Gouken (The blade) with it so Gouki can be commanded or act on its own. Gouki is capable of shooting out various elemental blasts from its two mouths and wrapping around things to squeeze the life out of it. His bite is also deadly, it feels like a burning cut just as when the blade of Gouken makes contact with an enemy's body.

WHAT ABOUT THE PAST?;

Kai was born in a family of mikos and had spiritual powers. He was born with Sumeragi Setsuka as his mother and his father who died before his birth was Nakamori Ryo. Everyone in the Sumeragi had a guardian animal and his was the wolf. Being born without a dad, he never got to understand what it is like to have both parents. Still he heard a lot of stories about his dad and Nakamori clan, he had wanted to know more and more about him and his clan. Every night his mother would tell him a story about his father and he would always listen to her trying to learn whatever he can from the stories. They never satisfied him to learn more about his father as all he knew wast that his father was gone. At the age of four though he started to hate his father when he heard stories from his distant aunts about how he broke her heart. The one thing that he never know about his father was that the man was dead. He was simply told that his father left on a journey to help others with his spiritual powers.

When he was six he was allowed to see his mother work with her spells. The boy was interested and wanted to know more about his family. He also wanted to start helping people like how his mom did but he wasn't allowed to. He was going to be the next head of the family and so they always kept an eye on him. He was trained to become a great onmy?ji like his mother and so he never really had friends. Instead he was force to practice and practice on spells. He was limited on what spells he can do and he hated all of that. He wondered how his mom was able to pull it off when she was his age. The only times when he had freedom was school but he didn't make any friends there because he thought it would distract him. The other time he had a little freedom was with his mom because she was the head and knew what she was doing.

His schedule was also very strange when compared to others. He had to wake up at six in the morning and didn't sleep until eleven at night. When he wakes up he had to cleanse himself and whatever he ate before he practice was all vegetables. The only time when he was allowed to eat meat was in the morning because ghosts don't tend to attack during the morning. He would go to school, go home do his homework, have an hour rest and then forced to practice spells. After that he would go with his mother to see how she does things. Then he would go home, practice a little more, be forced to read about spells and then be able to sleep. The next morning, he would wake up and do it all over again. Not one bit did Kai enjoy his daily schedule, but being that his family saw great potential in him since he did have two spiritual family bloodlines and his spirit was a wolf which defined the meaning of the family name.

Going to school and never having any friends always made him hate the place. The reason why he didn't have friends though was because of his strange hair color and the fact that he was sometimes seen in a ceremonial dress back then. After all, during that time, even if spirits were a big thing, they were starting to slow down. People started believing in their current technology rather than a family that can hunt spirits that most can't even see.

One day when he was eight a girl came up to him and told him that she had just moved in the neighborhood and he seemed like a loner so she wanted to play and spend with him. after that day they promised to meet each other in front of his family's shrine everyday. When he went home that day to dinner, the family was amazed of how happy he was that they couldn't help but wonder what happened. He simply replied that he had finally made his first friend.

A half an hour before Kai was to meet the girl he was attacked by a hollow. His mother was fighting it in order to protect him while fear had froze him. He felt like he couldn't move an inch of his body. When the hollow's mask broke, it revealed a man that looked similar to Kai himself but had alot of years over him. Kai didn't have the slightest idea of what had been going on and his mother stopped attacking it. Although it was only in a few seconds it felt like minutes. Shortly after the mask was shattered, his mother was killed by the hollow. when she was stabbed she simply whispered her husband's (Kai's father) name. Coming into shock and how his father had killed his mother he tried to kill the hollow only to perish just like his mothrer. His body fell down like a doll after being struck down, the last thing he saw was the girl running up to him. Needless to say, she had also died that day.

When he woke up he barely had any memories of his death. The only things he remembered was his mother dying by the hands of a monster, him dying too and seeing the girl who he befriended die right in front of him. Having no idea what was going on or who to ask he was forced to learn how to steal to survive. Every penny counted, every little grain of food was everything to him as he needed to live. Eventually though he had stopped stealing as more bits of memories came to him. They weren't much though, they were simply his daily routine when he was still alive. From observing that though he knew how humans reacted. So he was able to manipulate people, mainly adults with his little wolf tail and body. They would pay and make whatever he ate and for that he was happy. Life seemed simple and he felt he could get used to it quite easily. Eventually though he had started to learn about shinigami and other races.

Soon, he was selected to enter the academy by a recommendation from a Shinigami who had fed him during his times of hunger. In Academy he didn't make many friends and mainly stayed away from people. He didn't want to get too attached to anyone and somehow lose them. Kai had oddly always put himself to blame for his mother's and friend's death. Ever since that day he decided that if he didn't become close to people, they would never get hurt because of him and if they did it wasn't his fault. Having no friends allowed Kai to train more than most of the students and so he did fairly well in all of his Shinigami classes.

Like every other Shinigami Kai was able to release his shikai which took shape in a form of large dragon spear. His Shinkai had unbelievable power and was deemed deadliest of his graduating class. Shortly after achieving shikai, Kai was sent off to go under the 8th division, even though he had a very powerful Zanpakut?, Kai had never came close to getting anything out of being an unseated shinigami. Simply because he never completed his paperwork or handwritten assignments. He didn't care though because he had no inspiration in becoming anything higher then just a normal Shinigami.
