Former Affiliation: Akane Family (Explained in background)
Hobbies: Long aimless walks through the Division Garden. Chess, Reading.
Likes: A fine tea, or ground coffee. The calm before battle. A friendly conversation among peers.
Dislikes: Loud and overly energetic people, war, and fighting, bloodshed.
Personality:
Defined by a sense of Individuality, and presented with a prestigious grace Aalok stands above many of his fellow Lieutenants as a respectable intellect and tactician. Presenting himself upon firm footing and a grounded persona, the Vice-Captain of Division 12 had developed his uniquely stern and unflinching personality at a young age. An emotionally suppressed individual Aalok doesn't express himself colorfully, but keeps his actions and speech simply and clean, outside of his often poetic choice of words.
Patience, valor, and dedication are aspects of Aalok's unwavering person struggle to be the most loyal and respectable Shinigami, serving as his Captain's right-hand man and unquestioning servant the young man is not one to question authority. Claiming to be absolved from fear, the desire of power or riches, Aalok speaks of peaceful days under a single ruling democracy.
Strong and steady in both physical stance and emotional standing, Aalok's inherit weakness comes from a lack of aggression. A non-aggressor Aalok isn't one to make the first strike or chase down a weakened target. Not one to waste energy Aalok analyzes his opponents to counter their movements and take advantage of opens that allow him to disable or disarm them. Unable to take to aggression, Aalok serves best as a body guard then a hollow slaying reaper.
Unsurprisingly Aalok posses a strong case of the "White Knight Syndrome", which brings him to defend a female who he considers to be in "distress". Arguably the one factor of his personality strong enough to break him into an aggressors persona, Aalok will defend nearly any female with his life without question.
[[It should be noted that Aalok doesn't think of woman as any less capable in combat then men, but instead declares it a man's duty to never allow harm to his companion gender]]
Sexual Preference: Heterosexual
Family: Akame Family (explained in background)
Background:
As a spirit newly crossed over Aalok was fortunate enough to be taken in by the Akame Family, a middle class family whom took pity on the quiet boy. Raised to be a intellectual Aalok had his nose in a book for most of his youth, learning nothing of combat or the ways of the sword. This lifestyle didn't last forever as Aalok's spiritual energy grew with age, and without the proper guidance it became unmanageable. With no other choice Aalok pursued to become a Shinigami, and became a student of the academy. A talented academic, the boy learned quickly due to his keen eye and strong memory. However his lack of experience with a blade and lack of aggressive nature raised doubts of his potential future as a Gotei shinigami. When doubts were raised Aalok sought only a opportunity to prove himself, however in his first field exercise Aalok proved to be little help to his colleagues as he remained outside the fight. presenting his coffin with nails to be hammered in the eyes of the Academy instructors. The tides of battle changed however when a powerful hollow emerged to take advantage of the weakened Shinigami, making its first target a female classmate. Drawing upon the White Knight complex, Aalok stepped into action, releasing his Shikai and striking down the Hollow with effortless grace. Saved from being expelled, Aalok now carried the burden of trust and confidence, which he accepted.
Grace however did not come without burden, upon return to the academy Aalok was informed of his Family feud against a noble family. Uncertain of how to respond Aalok asked for advisory from educators that offered him only one reprieve "cut all ties". That day Aalok claimed respect, but lost his family.
With new inspiration and a harden heart, Aalok focused on his swordsmanship, mastering the art of countering and grappling. Tales of his exploits spread and grew out of portion, which drew the eyes of the Gotei and soon Aalok joined the ranks of Division 12. A steady climb progressed and Aalok improved and blossomed in a challenging environment. Reaching the title of Third Seat within his first year and Lieutenant by his second, Aalok considered himself a full accomplished Shinigami as he had no desire to advance any further. No desire to be a leader Aalok felt he was best utilized as an unquestioning knight to Madam Rosa.
- Zanpakutō Name: Durvacaka
Zanpakutō Type: Control and Suppress [Justice]
Sealed Zanpakutō: A slightly shortened katana dressed in a white sheath with golden incarnations running is length.
Zanpakutō Spirit:
Immortal Jellyfish
Shikai Incantation:
"A sword fight to the death, Durvacaka"
Release Appearance:
[Sheathed Release]: Incarnation glow as flames emerge from their groves bringing the katana and its sheath into a heated glow of pure orange. Burning all that it touches as if it was liquid magma, only Aalok can touch the blade during its transformation without injury. Molten sheath and blade become one and the rapier is forged (whole process takes about a 1 second).
[Standard Release]: Incarnations glow and the sheath liquefies into long tethers that entangle the katana and transform it the golden rapier.
Description:
A golden rapier forged with elegance, the Zanpakuto blade glows hot orange like heated metal.
Abilities:
1. Sun Touched Blade [Passive Ability]:
Durvacaka's spirit brings the rapier's blade to glow a hot orange, representing the heat of the sun across the metal. Memorising like the flames of a fire, the hot metal distracts the eyes and emits a soft ray of light that distorts the blade's appearance ever to slightly to increases its visual size (but not its actually size).
Heat waves resonates off the blade pushing back the air and popping water particles that near its surface (causes a soft crackle). A passive threat the heat coming off the Zanpakuto can be a danger when two weapons clash. This is because a combination of the sword's glow and heat waves would both distract and cause the eyes to tear up (forced to blink) if the clash lasts to long, allowing Aalok to break guards or enter grapples more easily. However, the heat waves or blade glow don't serve as powerful enough tools outside of a single meter radius.
[Cooldown: None] [Active During Shikai Indefinitely]
Note: Sneak Attacks nearly impossible in shikai due to the sword's glow and crackle
Day-Breaker Slash [Active]:
Channeling the hot glow of the Sun Touched Blade across the edge of the Zanpakuto, Aalok increases the focus of his spiritual energy into a powerful slash that unleashes powerful wave of super heated air. Described as a hot-aired sonic boom the crackling slash is a nearly invisible discharge visible only by the motion/heat blur it creates. A powerful knockback capable of heating up materials to the point of Hot to touch/burns, the threat level remains minimum. A non-fatal single target disable that serves to reset a confrontation or blind/ disarm for counters. (Can be used to toss up dust, throw a body back or heat up the handle of a weapon).
[Range: 15 Feet] [Cooldown: 1 Opposing Post]
Note: Using the Day-Breaker sacrifices the Sun Touch Blade Passive allowing for a foe to counter strike during Aalok's moment of weakness.
2. Sun Breaking Through the Clouds: A piercing tip forged by the focusing of the Zanpakuto's heated glow to the tip of the rapier. Enabling Aalok with the ability to puncture or piercing through barriers, seals, armor, or nearly any resistance with a driving strike of the heated tip.
[Cooldown: 3 Post] [Duration: 1-2 Post]
Note: Cool down begins only after the "strike" has ended
3. [Place Holder]: No idea what i'm gonna put here as of yet.
Bankai Name: Durvacaka's Horizon
Bankai Incantation:
"Rise to meet the Sun, Durvcaka" [Standard]
"By All Means, Keep Trying" [Confident]
Release Appearance:
Zanpakuto remains as rapier, but loses passive Sun Touched Blade. Durvacaka the Immortal Jelly fish is summoned. [[Appearance unknown]]
Description:
Aalok calls upon Durvacaka to his side, calling a massive outwards push of heat that rapidly explodes the water particles in the air which results is a nearly impenetrable bubble of heat, steam and air pressure. A sphere that deflects or absorbs all incoming physical and energy attacks for the course of its limited presence, the "Untouchable Presence" can be considered as a supreme kido barrier or seal.
Though primary a defensive maneuver, enemies caught within the 3 Square foot radius will be throw back with the super heated air waves causing significant damage comparable to a cero. Extremely hard to puncture or get passed due to its combination of heat, steam and wind pressure its best to avoid Aalok during his state. Which doesn't serve to be a difficult task as while within his state he is limited to a walking pace in order to maintain the field. Jumping or running dismisses the shield as proper focus is not maintained.
[Range: 3 Square Meters][Duration 1 or 2 Posts][Cooldown: 4-8 Posts]
Note: This Untouchable presence is the result of Aalok's failing to summon Durvacaka into our realm, the heat waves proving that emergence of the beast but the quick collapse suggesting the failure to maintain or control it completely. (Aalok will overcome this over time spent training in the roleplay)

Skills/Talents: Aalok is far above average when it comes to grappling, quickly capable of stepping in after a blade counter and performing takes downs or limb disable maneuvers within a blink of an eye. Because of his skill in body pressure point and weight manipulation within his actions one could be easily convinced he posses above average physical strength for a shinigami, this however isn't the case.
Stance: Aalok stands with his right hand positioned on the hilt of his sword and his left slipped within his robes, when drawing his Zanpakuto he draws with the relaxed left hand to brings the blade out with a diagonal swing. However it should be noted though Aalok fights with swords held in his left hand, its is actually his right hand with is consider his primary hand.
Hoho - Flash Step: Aalok is quite capable of the flash step, but it isn't a skill you often see in use.
