Biography:
Spike Was born in the soul society, and defended the soul society during the attack, many years ago.
He was born in the poorer side of the Rukon district, and lived with his parents and brother.
Spike and his brother Eric, never got along.
Eric would always try to pick on Spike, by attempting to beat him up.
But Spike always had the upper hand, as he has a natural instinct for combat.
He became a shinigami when he was a young boy of 11, when his reiatsu was noticed by a shinigami who was taking a walk in the area.
When he fought in the great attack of the soul society, he did not have his zanpakuto, so he did all he could with the hand to hand combat knowledge that he could.
He was badly injured, due to not being able to block bladed attacks, and was dragged away from the battle by a squad 4 shinigami.
While he was unconscious his family was killed.
Since then he has strived to be the best shinigami he could be, so something like that could never happen again.
