Shinigami
General Info
Name: Kaiba Katayama
Gender: Male
Age: 155 years in existence (late twenties in appearance)
Division: 1st Rank: co-vice captain
Physical Description: (shown in shikai wearing that modes dragon armor)
Kaiba is above average in height, standing at 5’11’’ with a well built body which portrays his athletic nature. At 170lbs, his long flowing silver hair hangs halfway down his back. Kaiba is neither too bulky nor is he a wisp of a man and is in peak physical condition.
Kaiba is a man who prefers function to fashion and as such wears the basic black shinigami robes though his are usually tattered or have burn marks on them though he changes into a fresh set daily.
Personality
With those he considers friends, Kaiba is very loyal and honest. A true friend who would do anything within his power for a person he cares for or comrade. He is also loud, stubborn, arrogant and extremely competitive. rarely does a sentence come out of his mouth without a string of curse words involved and is often seen as brash or rude as he does not enjoy tip toeing around the issues and has no time for tact.
Kaiba enjoys spending his time training or playing go; Kaiba also enjoys the small pleasures in life like conversing with friends and the simple beauties of nature, often found observing the world from a quiet spot with a bottle of warm sake.
While on the battlefield, Kaiba is serious and focused. Determined to make every battle he participates in a victory. He places the lives of his comrades over his own and thus would sacrifice himself for another shinigami. Kaiba is the sort of person who jumps into battle without thinking it over, preferring to learn from seeing his opponents skill and adapting rather than watching and forming a plan.
Other than his lust for battle, Kaiba takes great pleasure in his work and being a shinigami fills him with pride as he sees what they are doing as an honorable service.Kaiba has a love for human life and values its protection and despises hollows as he sees them as tainted souls in need of cleansing and is only too happy to cut them down to accomplish that.
Though extremely rare when in life or death situations kaiba has been known to go into a sort of berserkers rage where he attacks wildly with raw power and little regard to tactics or safety of himself or others though due to his awareness of this it is something he keeps in check while fighting.
History:
Born at the end of an era. For Kaiba the end of the greatest legacy man kind has ever seen samurai. For over a thousand years their way had forged mind and body, body and blade. And from this merging, a samurai was made.
Coming from a noble lineage, Kaiba’s parents had brought him and his brother Kuatura up in the fashion that his father had raised him, and his father before that etc... Though the lessons were tough on the body, Kaibas father was adamant that his boys were given a proper education as well. During his time as a child along with kendo skills, Kaiba was taught how to cultivate land to raise crops. Mathematics, pottery as well as other military skills, such as commanding troops and issues pertaining to the logistics of one type of terrain versus the next.
Kaiba's fraternal twin Kuatura was born just minutes before he was, and as such the right of being his father’s heir was bestowed upon him and Kaiba was third in line for everything. Kaiba resented this fact but it didn't come between them. Raised together as warriors from birth their bond was closest on the battle field.
By the time Kaiba had come of age, “westerners" had oozed their way into every aspect of a once noble society degrading it into perverse obscenity like its own. Many skirmishes and battles took place between the honorable samurai and the emperor’s cowardly new "westernized" troops using their rifles and dishonoring themselves by disregarding their traditions. Kaiba and his brothers in arms were taking heavy losses and though they fought bravely and with honor, it was clear that the samurai way was going to be consumed by the western culture.
Refusing to give in, the samurai fought back harder than ever on one of the last battles between the samurai and the emperors’ troops Kaiba was cut down by a gatling gun along with his men. Eyes open gazing at the sakura blossoms, the world went black.
Kaiba awoke in the 78 district of Rukongai. Kaiba searched for friends and relatives but found none and after a time could only focus on himself. Life was very tough, constantly fighting, constantly keeping your head on a swivel was the only way to stay "undead" Kaiba's spiritual pressure was quite high and soon enough he was accepted into the shinigami academy while climbing the ranks, he was re-acquainted with his brother who was just accepted.
Over-joyed to be reunited with his brother. Kuatura now appeared older than Kaiba by almost a decade. After the academy, Kaiba was recruited by 1st squad and shortly after Kuatura was also inducted into the 1st squad, Kaiba worked his way through the ranks. And was always ranked higher than his "older brother" a fact which in he derives much pleasure from, also never letting his brother forget that he is the eldest and higher ranking in soul society as opposed to the way things were whilst they were living. recently though the brothers were promoted to a co vice captainship of first squad robbing him of that indulgence though he isnt bitter about it and is rather proud of himself and his"little brother".

Roleplay Sample:
A chilled breeze swept across the grassy plains as Udemae crept across its lush green surface. Staying flat on his stomach, he began inching his way forwards. Moving ever closer to his intended target. Who was sitting with his back turned, leaning on an overturned tree. The young Uchiha moved with a practiced skill, closing the distance between the two as silently as possible.
“Just a little bit further.” The newly appointed genin thought as he could make out the back of his latest victims head.
Udemae’s smile was as wide as could be, seemingly ear to ear. Reaching down and pulling up the metal bucket he had brought with him, Udemae made a silent countdown in his head. Then, as fast as he could manage, Udemae sprung to his feet and raised the bucket to eye level then overturned it, dumping its contents onto the unsuspecting genins head and shoulders as he sat, still on his log. Now completely drenched head to toe.
“Damn it Udemae, one of these day you’re going to do this to the wrong person, then you’ll be sorry”. The recently wet genin had said in response to Udemae’s prank as droplets of the water he had just been splashed with dripped off of various parts of his body making feint sounds as they impacted with the Earth below.
“Well Ichiro, today is not going to be that day now is it?” The overjoyed youth responded after a fit of laughter.
“Now what are we gonna do Udemae baka?” Ichiro shouted. “Now you have to go back and fill that bucket back up again”. The very annoyed and more than slightly agitated genin asked of his attacker with an incredulous look on his face.
“So” Udemae responded simply with a dismissive waive of his hand.
Ichiro’s temper was almost too great to be controlled as he looked on as Udemae had a goofy smile still plastered on his face. “I hate Udemae so much, if only…..if only one day I could gain enough power too kill this whelp, than I could live happily in the knowledge that this screw up of a flunkie shinobi is buried in the ground where he belongs”. Ichiro plotted mentally before speaking through gritted teeth.
“Well Udemae, now you have to go all the way back over the hill to the well and refill this”. Ichiro finished as he pointed towards the metal bucket on the floor.
“No prob” Udemae said back in a curt manner and walked off towards the hill, bucket in hand.
Udemae didn’t see what Ichiro’s problem was. To him, a quick trip over a hill was not something to fret about. He supposed that Ichiro had once again just been upset by one of his “cool” and “hilarious” jokes. Udemae hadn’t a clue about anything Ichiro might or might not have in store for him later down the road, and quite frankly wouldn’t be all that worried if he did. As far as Udemae was concerned, Ichiro is and would always be under him in terms of strength and ability. So was mostly everyone else in Udemae’s mind but at this moment in Ichiro’s case, it was a good bet he was right.
Making the brief climb over the hilltop, Udemae already had his mind working, thinking of who he could get to play his next “innocent” prank on. With the well in sight, Udemae began to pick up the pace in anticipation of what he could accomplish afterwards before he would have to go home and train with his father, Yota Uchiha.
Tying the rope which hung from the well onto his bucket, Udemae began turning the lever which in turn brought his pale downwards into the well, then as it reached the bottom and began to take on water. Udemae reversed the direction he was turning the lever beside the well and brought the pale back up. Maybe I should just go throw this on Ichiro again and watch his face go red. Udemae thought to himself with a laugh as he headed back towards Ichiro.
