History: He was born into the Rukongai's 80th district Zaraki. He was orphaned at a the young age of four were he adapted to the hard life and stole from various vendors in order to live. He met a young girl with unaturally pink hair her name she told him was Sakura. The two of them lived like that stealing and running for the next several years to the point that vendors would start to attack him and Sakura when they were seen in public since there was a bounty for the capture of the two of them. So adapting once again he trained his body and mind while also becoming adept with a wooden bokken he had acquired several years earlier. Now he was able to defend himself and Sakura against anyone wishing to do the two of them harm. He also never had to steal again for now he was able to hunt small animals and use them as food, and when he collected to much he would give his kills to the other villagers who wouldn't be able to afford the vendor's over priced goods. He had to change this he couldn't stand to see the people of the Rukongai starve while the Royals had to much food. He needed to change this..

It was this Ideal that when he was 12 years old to attend the attend the soul reaper academy where he always placed in first since he had all the training before hand against vendors and animals. Except in Kido that class he always seemed to have trouble while Sakura had top marks in that class. Then there was that brat Nazo he was always so smug when he placed higher than Cloud did Nazo as the only one who gave Cloud any real competition. The two competed in everything then eventually that rivalry lead to friendship. Sakura during their Senior year of the academy has adopted by a man named Hiromasa Yutaka, a wealthy and powerful shinigami that Cloud respected greatly for his pursuits of peace. After four years years he, Sakura, and Nazo all graduated Nazo decided to join squad twelve, Sakura joined squad three, and Cloud decided to join Squad eight where he had attempted to get a ranked seat but just simply wasn't skilled enough, then while visiting Sakura one day he asked Hiromasa to help him train in the arts of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, kido, and Hoho. Thus making him a strong Shinigami in the process,after many years he started to challenge the seated Shinigami one after another going through the ranks as fast as he could despite all of the people saying he'd never get higher than them but he did it anyway pushing through making it after a couple more years to the 8th seat and a a couple decades years after that and during that time learning the name of his Zanpakuto, lieutenant. Over the next couple of years he and Sakura grew more intimate as they found love inside each other then a couple years later he and Sakura married, and the two of them had two wonderful twin children one boy one girl. The boy named: Zenkai and the girl: Haruhi. Years passed and Cloud having matured and grown more, decided to challenged the captain of squad eight and after a long drawn out battle that lasted for a long time Cloud barely managed to emerge the victor. And it was all thanks to the the training from Hiromasa and the love of Sakura.

Then one day as he walked the Rukongai Nazo who was one of Cloud's most trusted friends greeted him saying that he was looking for help with an experiment. Cloud said he'd help and before he knew it. Nazo had knocked him unconscious and dragged him to the far outskirts of the Rukongai where Nazo and,a couple of his companions from squad 12 injected him with the liquefied form of a hollow. The effects were immediate a battle ensued between himself and the hollow. The battle ensued for a long time because the inner hollow had tken the form of his love, Sakura..but eventually he had to fight back. After a long and drawn out inner battle Cloud won and returning from his inner world he was surrounded by several Shinigami. They had killed Nazo and his group and when Cloud showed consciousness he was threatened by the shinigami that he thought that had rescued him. "You will be taken to central 46 and be immediately put to trial." stated the Hiromasa the captain that had been sent to investigate. He wouldn't have this he wasn't going to go along and let the old geezers execute him for no reason. So Cloud fought the Shinigami that were on the scene. Then after being gravely wounded in the battle with Hiromasa and nearly dying in the process he used his hell butterfly to cross over into the world of the living where he hides to this day from Gotei in a little village named Karakura town.


RP Sample:

Rain poured from the dark cloudy sky as flashes of lightning bolted overhead.

There he was surrounded by his fellow-his former comrades in arms staring at him scared as if he were a monster...he was a monster this mask on his face felt as if it was a part of himself like his skin.

Then the first two Shinigami started at him swords draw. But there was something odd about the way they moved. they moved slow too slow.

he ran forward brining his fist back he thrusted it toward the first Shinigami's gut driving it hard into his gut which sent him flying across the clearing and against a tree while he turned and delivered a roundhouse kick to the other man's chest sending him crashing into another Shinigami.

He ran toward a small group of Shinigami and swung his fist hitting one in the head sending him skidding across the ground then he would punch the remaining two in the gut taking them out of this fight.

Then he turned to face Hiromasa who had already released his Zanpakuto into two claw-like weapons then he rushed forward moving faster than the others had.

Drawing his Zanpakuto he would parry most of the captain's strikes then one of the blades on the claw would fire at Cloud, point blank entering his stomach area and exiting out his back causing him to cough up blood then he would swing his sword at Hiromasa firing an Okasen kido at him where it would be blocked by one of the claws.

Then something wrong happened Cloud lost control of his body it moved on its own quick, agile, and lethal.

His Zanpakuto drew a crescent arc across the captain's chest, blood spraying out in every which way. He fell to the ground bleeding heavily and he then looked up at Cloud he muttered words barely audible over the rain,"Are...you...going to....kill me?"

"No.." Cloud breathed heavily

"I need you to please take care of Sakura...Zenkai..and Haruhi..."

Then as soon as those words were said his mask fragmented a huge wave of fatigue hit him like a train.

"I have to get out of here...” Cloud thought to himself he turned and limped away from the direction of the Rukongai clutching his still bleeding stomach.

A few moments later his hell butterfly fluttered around him, “Perfect...” he thought to himself. Opening a dangai he made his way to the world of the living to escape, heal, and plan...

He awoke hours later lying in an alleyway of Karakura town his Zanpakuto lying beside him, the hole in his stomach gone.

Then he looked next to his Zanpakuto and there it laid the mask that had destroyed his life...but as much as he didn't like it he was stuck with it as he found himself in a curious little place in The World of the Living know as Karakura town.

You could use a bit more description in your personality. Perhaps listing a peeve that would set your character off and how they'd react, or anything that would elicit happiness. Claud's height is also pretty vague. Instead of "tall", I'd like an exact calculation in feet and inches. Your History could use quite a bit of work. Were there any hardships you had to endure on your rise up the ladder of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads? How did you handle them? Where did you end up after running from Soul Society? Lastly, do a spell check and you should be good to go.

Approved.
