History:
The Beginning
Gekashi was the second child of a rich family. Gekashi was an odd child. He was always seen in tree watching the clouds with a toothpick in his mouth. His mother, father, sister, and teachers all knew it. He excelled in school work and was a natural genius when it came to combat. He understood every last move, making undefeatable among the children even the adults feared him. The only person he could not defeat was his sister, Kiyoshi. He tried forming his own style in order to win but lost. He and his sister were close because his parents were never home.
At the age sixteen, he saw people as weak life forms. He started to proclaim himself as the Ultimate Life Form. He continued to excelled in school and maintain his abilities. He dream was to know be a master at martial arts but his parents wanted him work in the family business. While walking home one night, he and his sister were attacked and killed. He and Kiyoshi were bought together to province of Junrin'an in the 1st District of West Rukongai. After they died in the human world.
Soul Society:
Once in Soul Society, they ended up in one of the worse districts of Rukongai, filled with crime and poverty. The moment when Gekashi realized this shattered his religious convictions - he had come to heaven, only to find out that it was in fact nearly identical to what he had left behind.
There, they did what they could to survive. Gekashi's older sister became fighters for hire and enforcers for local crime, beating up those who hadn’t paid their debts to any of the feuding crime lords of the region, while Gekashi attempted to become a pickpocket. His height, by this point, was already fairly impressive, so he made a terrible pickpocket, far too noticeable to successfully get away. Several times he was caught and barely managed to escape punishment.
Eventually, he joined his sister as an enforcer for local crime lords. He hated the work, and moreover, he wasn’t especially good at it - but it was easier than pick pocketing, and it brought in the money they needed for food. When Gekashi started to manifest spiritual powers, however, he was met with suspicion - after all, spiritual powers usually meant shinigami, and shinigami didn’t usually hold a favorable view of crime.
Not long after he manifested these powers, however, Gekashi had a stroke of luck. A shimigami came to that district of Rukongai, to take down one of the larger crime lords, who was attempting to stir up a rebellion against Seireitei. Gekashi and his sister were hired by the crime lord for protection, and in the ensuing fight, him and his sister were knocked out within several minutes, being no match for a captain shinigami. However, despite this abject failure to do their jobs, the both of them caught the shimigami’s eye as having potentially potent spiritual powers. In exchange for them giving up crime, he offered to vouch for them to enter the Academy and become shinigami.
Given the offer of a new, comfortable life, both agreed.
Shinigami Academy:
In the Academy, Gekashi excelled, with his teachers remarking that he would be a prodigy if he ever managed to put in some good hard work. This was not to be - Gekashi's attention span remained terrible, and he was only rarely able to muster himself to work hard. However, he showed exceptional ability in most subjects, except kido, and was always one of the top students in his class.
Thus, for the rest of his time at the academy, he threw himself into studying hand-to-hand combat, shunpo, combat with a sealed zanpakuto, and kido. While his studies in kido were hampered by a lack of natural talent in that area, his studies in all other areas went well, and by the time he left the Academy he had caught the eye of both his instructors and several prominent shinigami.
One day on an excise, wild hollows attacked the students. Most of the students were killed and the remaining retreated, but a fellow classmate had trip and a hollow move quickly to eat him. Gekashi blocked the attack which causes the beast to bleed. Gekashi told his classmate to run and never to look back. Gekashi could only laugh with fear, the only words he say was, “I am Gekashi Syūsuke.” Gekashi fought with everything he had been the hollow was to strong. Gekashi was not going to allow the hollow escape and kill the class. He and his Zanpakuto had become one in the same. It transformed into its Shikai. With this new power Gekashi killed the hollow.
Captain of division two arrived to see Gekashi kill the hollow and unlock his Shikai.
2th Division:
Gekashi and Kiyoshi was able to graduate from the academy on their final year. He was give the position 5th seat of the 2th Division while his sister became a unseat office of the Tenth Division. He worked his way up through the ranks with a fair amount of speed. His strange nature, attention problems, and unwillingness to use his Shikai (or even tell people what its ability was - when asked, he claimed that it was and light based, and said nothing more because he was unable to controll it completely.) held him back from advancing through the ranks faster, but he made good progress.
After a year, he was still 5th Seat of the 2th Division, but on the cusp of a new promotion, with a role that involved mostly coordinating officers of lower seats, leading a small team, and often checking and evaluating the defenses of Seireitei. He worked closely with the Covert Ops, helping to coordinate the 2th Division’s involvement with them.
Shortly after a month or so, he became the 4rd Seat of the division, and began to become involved in scouting and intelligence missions - sometimes to areas of the human world, to places which it was speculated may be of interest to the hollows, but more frequently to other parts of Soul Society: had caused an uproar in certain parts of Rukongai, with many praising him as a hero for standing up to Seireitei, and his rebellion had become the catalyst for several rebel groups to form, often with the involvement of organized crime. It became Gekashi's duty to infiltrate these groups and neutralize them.
Thus, he had come full circle - from attempting to stop a shinigami from disbanding a rebel group, to being the shinigami stopping them. After this was done, there was a high ranking hollows attacking the human world. Gekashi and his team went to stop the hollows. They successful kill the hollows but lost some good comrades too.
8th Division Captain:
After successfully completing his mission, he returned to the Soul Society and asking to take the 3rd Captain Qualification Trial. He had already attained bankai using a invention known as, the Tenshintai.
Gekashi was fighting opponent who was able to use bankai. The two was fighting to become captain of the 8th division. All the captain of the Gotei 13 was there to see the two fight. The two began to fight, Gekashi’s opponent quickly released his Shikai but Gekashi remain using in his sealed form. The two fought on equal grounds but the opponent couldn’t stand the fact that Gekashi don’t release his Shikai or put much effort in this fight. His opponent released his bankai as well as Gekashi. After two days of fighting, Gekashi won his battle and was named Captain Syūsuke of the 8th Division.
After being named Captain of the 8th Division, he was informed that his sister left the Soul Society.
Currently:
Gekashi has been captain for three years. To this day, he doesn’t why his sister betrayed him. He searching for the fact why she did even if kills him.
