miyamoto, yuusuke

Yuusuke was born into the world of Seireitei two-hundred and twenty (220) years ago to the powerful Miyamoto family. While they were known for producing excellent Shinigami for the combat divisions, they had no real idea what Yuusuke's potential really was. As he learned about the many worlds and their races at a young age, having more than enough of years in his life as a plus (soul), there was much intrigue and interest within Yuusuke to become what his parents called a Shinigami. Fighting off the Hollow, they tried to preserve the element of balance within the realms.

All the way until age fifty (50), Yuusuke's excitement continued to build until he was finally given his first sword. Little did he know, his parents secretly obtained an 'Asauchi (Shallow Hilt)' from a Twelth division Shinigami, who was a close friend of Yuusuke's Father. Curious to see if early exposure to the Asauchi would benefit his growth and development. Early on it was mostly Yuusuke's determination and perseverance to keep going with his training, practicing with bokken every day, and also meditating with his sword like his Father had instructed of him. Eventually, however, Yuusuke's training was taken over by his Grandfather and Mother. This was due to the fact that, on a random assignment in the human world, his Father was killed by a Quincy .The same night Yuusuke learned his Father had died, he experienced a rather odd dream. He met a dark, wispy figure, speaking in demonic tones and chants. It intimidated him at first, but he just couldn't quite explain how he felt about it. The way it felt to him was as if it was saying something important.

The next day his Grandfather noticed that Yuusuke had spiked with reiatsu during the night, and that he was going to increase his training. Aging all the way to one-hundred (100) years old, the same dreams continued to go on and on, the same wispy silhouette of a man. He confronted his Grandfather about these dreams, and he discovered they might perhaps be his Zanpakuto spirit trying to contact him. His skills with a sword and his generally superior physicality had made him a great prospect for the Shino academy, which he was destined to attend in the next fifty (50) or so years. Luskily for him, he was also able to train Kidou, due to his Grandfather having the keen discipline and talent with utilizing his Reiryokou/Reiatsu with the Demon Arts.

At age one-hundred and fifty (150), Yuusuke attended the Shinigami academy and was positioned in the highest class, above most of his other pupils. While he didn't pride himself on that at this point, maintaining a humble outlook on his career as a Shinigami due to the reality of his Father's death. Still his talents only seemed to cultivate as he was given live exercises and exams that brought out his best. As he flourished within the academy, he finally was given his 'graduation project', along with several others who would be with him during the entire thing, more importantly accompanied by a Fuku-Taichou. Allowing themselves the extra risk, they would be allowed to decide which division they joined, and Yuusuke knew he wanted to pick the one his Father was in- Hachibantai, a line of defense.

They were charged with killing a Hollow that had been feeding in the area, to do so as swiftly as possible and without casualties. However, when they arrived the Hollow they had been looking for had evolved, due to the fat that it had been harvesting on the area entirely. Even the Fuku-Taichou didn't seemed to be enough, an ebon-haired female standing rather tall compared to Yuusuke at this age (156). Standing behind her with swords drawn, she shielded her inferiors as long and valiantly as she could. Meanwhile, the group of five (5) academy students watched in horror before one finally charged on impulse and instinct alone. Gored straight through his torso, Yuusuke was the only other male of the group.

Allowing himself to step forward as the next sacrifice, the Hollow bypassed Yuusuke with the sudden use of it's Sonido, striking down the girl in the middle of the trio behind him- Yuusuke's crush, a girl he met in the academy and wanted to marry, similar to how is Father and Mother met. As Yuusuke turned to see what the Hollow had done besides cause the girls to shriek from behind, he noticed Asuka (his crush) bleeding from the abdomen (stomach), with other fluids from the stomach accompanying the thick scarlet syrup. He didn't stop there, ripping her open and proceeding to stuff these pieces of her into it's opening mouth. She screamed right before her body had been torn apart, and then a silence was all that was left.

The feeling within Yuusuke was something he had never felt before, something akin to resentment, self-loathing, but also an insurmountable amount of abhorrence for the Hollow. He couldn't tell what was going on as it happened, but the Hollow took notice- Making another sonido to Yuusuke and hacking him down. Taunting him, saying that he was going to make him watch as he did the same to the other girls, it was then that, as he lay on the ground bleeding from his torso moderately- A breathe of life swept over Yuusuke.

As the Hollow swept aside the first of the last two girls, Yuusuke rose to a stand, his Reiatsu festering and flowing around fiercely. The Hollow, taken back by the sudden rise in Reiatsu, turned it's attention back to Yuusuke, who was now standing without giving a thought that there were now two Zanpakuto in his hands. It charged Yuusuke head-on with a sonido, aiming for his torso yet again to finish the job. What had happened within this instant, even Yuusuke did not truly know, hearing a whisper in his ear just before blacking out from what he thought was the Hollow unleashing it's full power. After a strong sensation of death taking him over, along with a harsh coldness, Yuusuke woke up frozen to the Hollow that he had killed, it's entire body shattering into pieces of frozen flesh once he retrieved his plunged Zanpakuto.

However, all he could remember was the moments of Asuka's death, and the fact he was too late. His actions, although complimented by his Shinigami superiors, were not good enough to rescue the person he cared for most. That same night, when Yuusuke went to sleep, he finally figured out what had happened, as his Zanpakuto spirit finally contacted him with similar demonic tones and chants, before slowly mending into a duo of familiar voices, soothing voices...the voices of his Mother & Father.

The demonic chants were nothing more but words his Mother, Father, and even Asuka had spoken, morale reinforcement to keep Yuusuke striving to survive, to grow better, and most of all to make the most of his life, and the many people around him he could call allies or friends. Finally, as the words came to an end, the Zanpakuto spirit spoke itself, revealing that there were two Zanpakuto spirits within his inner world- One representing their own sword, and their own parental figure.

Finally, even though their conversation ended in an amount of time that seemed to end quickly, Yuusuke woke up to see the sun rising into the morning sky. However, right away he realized Asuka was not here to enjoy that very same sun, the one she used to talk about being her favorite thing about the "world".

For the rest of his Shinigami career, Yuusuke has bore hatred for both Hollow and Quincy, due to them being the sole reason(s) for his lack of happiness in life. Every person close to him, they took away. His incentive and reward was to cause as much trouble for these two deceiving races as he could, and the amount of ambition he had in doing so was unrivaled. Graduating from the academy and already having a Shikai, he was placed into the Hachibantai as requested, just like his Father. Advancing in power, and soon enough rank- Yuusuke found himself to become the Hachibantai Taichou.

However, after the many years of Hachibantai Taichou, they were ended. The Arrancar Nabill Ggodsent maimed and crippled Yuusuke, his Zanpakuto- But most of all his very soul had fractured. He was a broken man, without responsibilities to hide under like before, and without anything to look forward to.

Now at age two-hundred and twenty (220), Yuusuke seeks to make the best of his life, which so far seems to be a downhill endeavor.
