Personality: Ishpaleum is the warrior personified. He values honor above all else, and will fight for his beliefs. He believes in chivalry, and adheres to a strict code of conduct. A true leader, he believes in serving others first, and he will usually take on the role of mentor for many people. When he does so, he will protect and guide his students until they come into their own. Quick with advice and a laugh, when with friends he behaves like a conquering king.

Character Story:
When Ishpaleum was human, he was a hero of great renown, as well as a king. Known as the King of Heroes, it was even said that he was born of divine blood due to the great deeds he was able to preform, such as slaying great monsters that he would later discover to be Hollows. Eventually it was said that he accumulated all the treasures in the world, and that no monster was brave enough to face him. He had his kingdom, the treasures of the world, and the only woman he had ever loved. In the end, the first two would be taken by the third, along with his own life. While no man or beast could face his blade on the battlefield, while he slept he was as vulnerable as any other man. The last vision he ever had was her face as he awoke to the knife being driven into his heart. It was a twisted mask of humanity, clearly no mortal being. Her voice rang out into the night, with a bitter laugh. Farewell hero, perhaps we shall meet again!
After death, he awoke in a field, surrounded by flowers that shone like gold. As he arose, he found himself without memory, with only fleeting images of his former life. He wandered, eventually finding himself in a city filled with people. He tried calling out to them, but no one seemed to respond. Confused, he tried reaching out to touch a man, but found that his hand passed right through him. It was then that he realized what must have happened, and the final image he had seen returned to his mind. With the knowledge of his own death in his mind, and no knowledge of who he was, he set about traveling the world. For months he traveled, never speaking to anyone or being able to touch another person. Eventually he was driven to despair, and felt his sanity beginning to degrade. The chain he had been carrying in his chest began to dissolve, and a hole began to appear in his chest. He felt his humanity begin to slip away, and then he heard a voice. He turned to see a figure clothed in black, arm outstretched. Naturally, he assumed that the reaper had come for his soul at last, although he was surprised to see that death had come in the form of a redhaired girl carrying a sword. He was also surprised when she attempted to run him through with her blade, and even more shocked when he was able to stop her, dodging her blows with an ease and speed that stunned her. In a few minutes he had defeated what he thought had been his death, and asked to be returned to life. It was then that she explained the nature of death, and told him of the Soul Society, a place for the souls of the departed to rest and live out eternity. She also told him of the Gotei 13, the organization devoted to protecting them. From that moment, his purpose was clear. He would dedicate himself to the protection of his new home, and become the strongest of the Shinigami. He took on a new name as well, becoming Ishpaleum.
After entering the Soul Society, he was sent to the Academy, where he was first in his class, becoming the first student ever to achieve Bankai while still in training. When he graduated, he joined Squad 11 due to his immense combat skills, and quickly became Captain when he defeated the former Captain in a duel, never even releasing his Shikai. Things have moved quickly since then, with him taking on more and more responsibility and expecting his Squadmates to do the same. He is there to train the next generation of warriors, and to help them achieve their dreams.
RP Sample:
*Domon approached the school building, having walked for the past half hour to get there from the farm. He wore a bit of a scowl on his face due to the fact that he had had to walk through the rain to get there, and the fact that he had to be there at all. He sighs, remembering the conversation he had been in just a few days ago. I promised I would give it my best shot.. I suppose I'll just have to keep my head low and hope that no one bothers me As he enters through the double doors and begins walking through the halls, he looked around at the people surrounding him, feeling an unusual amount of spiritual pressure. It's almost as if... nah, the Shinigami probably don't even remember me. I'll just have to repress any excess energy I give off. I still remember that much. He smiled slightly as he entered his first class and sat down in the furthest seat in the back, thinking of how simple the future could be and letting his mind wander. In his mind, he saw the endless battles he had gone through. All of the pain he had caused passed before him, and he remembered the final confrontation he had had with his father. His mind seemed to skip foward past that, and landed on his arrival at the farm, and met the people who would become his family. He smiled fondly as the bell awoke him from his memories.*
*As he exited the classroom and went toward his next class, he saw a fist come at him from the corner of his eye as he was struck and slammed into a nearby locker, warping it. Domon looked up to see three teenage boys looking down at him with cruel intentions gleaming in their eyes as one popped his knuckles audibly. The one cracking his knuckles, obviously the leader from the way that the others looked at him, laughed as he looked down at Domon.*
Well, if it isn't a new kid! I should introduce myself. My name is Rex, and these are my associates. *He gestures at the others* We are the school's welcoming committee. It is our job to make sure that new students, like you, understand the order around here. *He smiled as they picked Domon up and began to pound on him, striking him continuously. Domon simply layed back, accepting the beating. Better a few bruises than to attract undue attention... although I must say, I do miss my old healing abilities right about now... I mean, these guys barely leave a mark, but it is still irritating. After a few minutes, it looked like they were through with him, and they left after getting a final punch each. Domon layed there until the crowd cleared, then rose and went to his next class, after making sure he was unwounded.*
*As he arrived in his next class, he sat down in the farthest seat again, and heard muffled whispers about him* They will pass... it's better than it would have been if I had just beaten them down. *He could feel a substantial spiritual presence in the room* And besides that, I don't know who here might suspect something... Yeah, it's much more simple this way. *He smiled slightly, thinking of how much better this new life could be, at least on the surface.*
This is an older sample, and I would love to think my writing has improved.
