Personality: Nenshou is quiet and watchful of everything around him. An almost emotionless expression keeps control of his face which stares blindly at everything. He doesn't talk if he doesn't need to and always keeps himself distant from others. Seemingly resolute and steadfast, deep down Nenshou is a pot that is boiling over. He buries it deep and keeps it controlled just so he can keep his sanity. It is when he starts to fight that this anger is allowed to burst. In combat he laughs and cries, taking his time to enjoy the only moments where his heart and mind can be free.

Character Story:
The Life before the Life
Before his death Nenshou was known as Yamamoto Shiki. He resided in Tokyo and worked as a teacher in a local high school. His life was a rather drab and ordinary one. There wasn't a special person in his life and his parents had long died from old age. He was alone but for the most part he liked it that way. He didn't have to deal with anything, he didn't have to worry about anything. He could just go on living each day like the last.
That changed when he was given nightwatch duty for half the week. It wasn't too unusual and Nenshou had an intimidating air to him. It was just after seven thirty when the school was closing down when Nenshou discovered a group of students loitering by the field. When he went over to investigate he found that it was mostly boys who were surrounding a young girl. Seeing that they were in threatening stances Nenshou quickly ran up to the group and yelled at them to stop.
When they took their eyes off of the girl she quickly got up and ran to Nenshou hiding behind him. Nenshou started to scold the boys but he noticed they were looking at him with angry eyes. When they started to step forward Nenshou quickly hurried the girl away just before they tackled him. She rushed off into the night and Nenshou could just barely see glint of the knife in the moonlight. With a smooth motion the blade entered his chest, it striked his arm and his face. The boys finally stopped ran off and Nenshou stared up to the moon for one last minute before his life finally left him.
Dead Among the Living
Before Nenshou realized it he was wandering the field of the school. It seemed time had stopped... or at least his time did. He wandered the field aimlessly night after night, not knowing what exactly was happening or what he was even doing. One night as he wandered he saw one of the boys looking in his direction. Nenshou stared at him and watched as the boy started to leave. Nenshou quietly followed after him keeping just a few meters behind him.
Everywhere the boy went, Nenshou followed. He didn't know why. All he knew was that he couldn't lose the boy, he couldn't lose sight of him no matter what. He also noticed that nobody saw him, nobody even realized he was there. He just wandered amongst the living following after a boy that he could do nothing to. He kept this up for a day or two but that stopped when a young girl got in his way. Usually Nenshou would have just ignored her but he couldn't because she was staring right at him. Nenshou didn't know who she was but she walked up to him and pulled out a small sword. She smiled at him and it calmed his nerves as she hit the butt of her sword against his forhead. It was all gone in an instant.
A New Existence
Rukongai, his new home. At least that was all he could find out. Apparently he was dead which he realized beforehand in his wandering in the living world. He was just a spirit now givin another chance to live in a whole new world. He didn't really have anything to do in this new world, he just couldn't get into a new rythem to live by. Everything that he had was gone now yet he didn't feel lost at all. He just felt like this new life was just too different.
As he wandered around the Rukongai he was approached by a strange man. The man spoke of the strength hidden inside of him. The man asked him his name and Nenshou couldn't even remember it. Had it been so long that he had forgotten his own name? It was possible. The man just laughed it off and decided to call him Nenshou. When asked why the man said it was because the strength inside Nenshou was burning him away from the inside. After more talk the man persuaded Nenshou to use that strength and to work it into something great.
The Academy Existence
The Shinigami Academy, it had taken some time but Nenshou was allowed in to begin his training. It was rough yet for some reason Nenshou wasn't burdened by it at all. It seemed that this new life was exactly the new rythem he needed to keep on living. A sense of purpose, a sense of schedule like he had in his past. Something that had been missing all this time. It took a lot of hard work but with each passing day at the academy Nenshou was better able to mold the strength within him.
Nenshou was very skilled but the only thing that was holding him back was his social capability. He didn't talk to others, he didn't partake in anything with others unless it had to do with training. He was a blank case, a shell with immense power that had no real marks to identify it. The thing that changed him was a girl by the name of Rebecca Brunested. She was the complete opposite of him, happy and outgoing. She wasn't incredibly skilled but she was still able to hold her own. She was the only person to walk up to him and greet him with a smile.
At first Nenshou wanted nothing to do with her and ignored her as best he could. Each day though she would greet him with that smile and slowly made him bring down his guards. She was able to get him to say hello to her and she took that as her que to start talking to him more and more. Soon enough Nenshou considered her a good friend and they helped each other out from time to time. Working together they were able to make themselves stand out even more and finally they were approved as true Shinigami.
A Decision, A Farewell
Approved and now needing to get into a division there was a decision that needed to be made by Nenshou. His skill level would get him to where ever he needed to go but Rebecca wasn't as lucky. Unable to just leave her behind Nenshou decided to stay with her wherever she went. They stayed and worked together through the years but Rebecca started to change. She was saddened that she couldn't keep up with what Nenshou was capable of and so started to look for more ways to get more powerful.
It was then that she started to give in more and more to her inner hollow. She gave in more and more, all the while Nenshou noticed the changes. She was getting darker and getting a lot stronger. He could feel something inside her was changing her and soon enough he knew what was happening. He had heard of Shinigami merging their hollow selves to gain more power. But deep down he knew that she wasn't strong enough to keep control of herself. He confronted her and in desperation she attacked him. He was strong but her power was almost overwhelming. With each attack she gave in more and more. Soon she didn't even look like the Rebecca he knew anymore.
Getting overwhelmed by her he had only one thing to do... use that same power against her. He reached into himself... and there he found the emotions he had so long hidden within himself. All the anger and hatred of his death, the sorrow of his wandering... everything that he had kept hidden behind an emotionless mask. It all came to him in a flash and the mask he was now wearing was the emotion he had held in. With his power strengthened he was now the one overwhelming her. He was destroying her and he was enjoying it. Laughing and taking it all in. Finally it was done and he struck her a fatal blow. In the last seconds of her existence she turned back into what she once was.
Nenshou was able to regain full control and the mask he wore was now once more deep within him. He held her as she slowly faded away and all she could say was sorry. All Nenshou could do was hold her there, nodding to her words. She told him that she knew he could smile and laugh, that deep down what had come out during the battle was the real him. She asked him to keep that alive and strong. And then she was gone. Nenshou stood up and walked back to where his room was. He meditated on what had happened, letting his thoughts mold over. He decided than to perfect what Rebecca had said was the real him. That was his goal, his new purpose.
RP Sample:
Another day, another chance to gain perfection. Rebecca was gone now and there was nothing left to hold him down. He needed to advance himself, he needed to find the strongest division... the strongest captain... that is what Rebecca wanted. Deep down, the smiles and scowls that were hidden inside him were waiting to burst out. Nenshou walked up to the training area and pulled Naiteki Tsume from it's sheath. He held it firmly in one hand and slowly moved it up joining it with his second hand. He made a sweeping motion with the blade very slowly and moved his legs forward and then to the left. He turned his body to the right and chopped the blade down slowly through the air before entering into his original stance. He was now staring at a target off in the distance.
He stood there staring at it coldly as the wind blew against him making his robes blow out around him. Nenshou took in a deep breath as he quickly flash stepped appearing in front of the target. In one swift motion he swung his blade up daigonally and then down straight slicing the target into pieces. He jumped back away from the target into the air and then landed with a light step. He moved his blade slowly around his body and after turning his legs slightly took the same beginning stance as before. He took in a deep breath as he shut his eyes and let his mind meditate. He could feel anger in his hands guiding his blade and he quickly calmed himself. He forced the anger away back into his chest, deep into his heart. It went back into where he kept everything, the place that stored that pure hatred and rage that burned him from the inside.
He could feel it deep down, the bubbling heat... the burning sensation... the incredible urge to scream and yell out for nothing. To attack anything he saw, to make every living thing around him suffer for what he has suffered. This was the fire, the burning strength within him that he had to control. The fury that was released when his life was on the line, when there was no need to hold back. Who he was now was not the real Nenshou, no this persona was just a protective cover. The real Nenshou wanted to hunt, wanted to fight... wanted to destroy.
