Here's a little more background on Flower and why he acts the way he does. :]
Biography Before Death:
Flower was born to a rich family. His mother was a fashion designer/model, and his father was a bank owner. The maids and butlers basically raised Flower. But he never grew up to hate poor people, or his parents. They had, after all, gave birth to him. He saw no reason for them to be hated just because they were trying to provide a luxurious life for him.
At the age of 12, Flower was forced to take fencing classes. He became very good at it, but hated the sport with a passion. He quit when he turned 16.
Flower, unlike most of his pot head friends, graduated from college with a degree in Philosophy and Psychotherapy. Along with being smart and hot, he had trained in kickboxing and gun training. He knew how to hold a sword, but he wasnt deadly with one. (i mean, he was, but not all expert and stuff). With the other two arts though, he was.
At the age of 18, he changed his name to Nightshade. He cant remember his real one. After graduating, he got a job as a therapist. The job payed well, but it was tasking.
After 2 years of this job, Flower became a very serious and quiet person. He began to think about things too seriously, and began to hold the burden of all the people he helped problems. Thoughts of suicide and "Why am I even alive?" ran through his mind on a regular basis.
Biography After Death:
Died at the age of 27.
It was late when Flower came home. He had just driven from the cemetary to visit his parents and lay out a birthday cake. He and his dad had the same birthday oddly enough. Traffic was hell, he felt like hell, and even though he refused to drink on his birthday, he wanted to break that promise to himself. Badly.
Both his parents were long gone already; they had died on their private jet when one of the engines exploded. They had left him their house, a large amount of money, and everything else they owned.
He walked into the house, and was confronted by two armed robbers. Seeing the gun in one's hand, he quickly kicked out with his left foot, making the gun fly into a nearby wall. Suprised, the man didnt have time to react as Flower kicked him in his jaw, a satisfied smile on his lips as he heard the bone crack.
The second man though, had something a bit better than a gun. A crowbar! (seriously, whats better than one of those?) Flower was quickly knocked unconscious and shot four times.

Arriving in the Rukongai, Flower knew that this was his second chance at life. God, or whoever the hell was up there had made it possible for him to be a whole new person.
He began hanging out with the older, poorer people in the Rukongai. He moved throughout all the districts, not ever really having a home. He learned most of his pervy jokes from the old men he helped, and his cooking skills from the old woman he helped. He learned many more things from both genders.
Soul Reaper Academy:
It took Flower almost 15 years to graduate from the academy. He was the brightest and strongest in all of his classes, except for kidou. But when it came to passing his final exam, he flopped. Time, after time, after time.
He joined when one of his favorite couples told him that he would be useful in the Shinigami Academy. Once joining, Flower was called the "odd-ball" or "the most likely to end up killed by a hollow for being so damn clueless". He enjoyed being laughed at though. While in the academy, he learned how to laugh at himself, and cherish every little smile he saw or gave.
