Looks: Baraku stands at 6’5 and is quite solidly built, he weighs at least 18 stone.

Overall he has a very intimidating appearance, he has no hair and completely white eyes. He also has a slight bit of stubble over his face. He has tribal tattoos over his head, back and upper arms, and lots of scars over his torso.

--------------------
Despite his appearance he is a very friendly and warm man, he finds it funny when people say that he looks intimidating as it’s so different from how he usually acts. He gets on with everyone and has many friends, he is also very intelligent but doesn’t let it on. He is very confident about his fighting skills and sometimes gets a bit cocky. He has a lack of concentration and is easily distracted when he is not doing something he finds interesting. He is very honourable and very loyal to his friends and comrades and would protect them at any cost. He rarely gets angry but when he does his personality changes completely, he remains silent and focused on the person, this is when his true abilities and power surfaces.

Likes: Talking with just about anyone, reading books, sparring.

Dislikes: being alone for too long, rudeness.

Crushes: someone who is kind and warm just as he is, but needs someone to keep him focused on the task at hand.

--------------------

Specialties: He has a great love of cooking but not really great at it, he is very interested with physics and how everything works.

History: Baraku was born in the United Kingdom; he was given up by his mother and put in a foster home. His carers noticed that he was very quick at learning things, much quicker than his peers. He was enrolled in a state school at 4 years old. As he got to 5 years old he could already read very challenging books and was working out long multiplication and division. The school put him up for enrolment in a very prestigious boarding school in the capital city, London. He was slightly younger than most of the children but one of the brightest, and most popular. Despite his background he made lots of friends, always being the centre of attention.

This trend continued through infant school, and through juniors where he had been skipped 2 years ahead and going into senior school at the age of 10. He had many friends and even a few girlfriends during his time at senior school and passed at the top 0.1% in the country.

The university of Oxford had recognised his talent especially in the areas of maths and physics, and offered him a full scholarship at there university when he was just 16. He took this up straight away and was pleased with himself that he had overcome all his adversity to accomplish this. All of his classmates where at least 2 years older than him, but he had matured quickly so no one really noticed. After just 7 years he had a PhD in statistical mathematics and particle physics, and went on to become an extremely successful accountant, working for the top accountancy firm in the world. Now living in New York he had decided that this still wasn’t enough for him, he then started his own business with his friend and a few other friends from his past. While attending a function for a charity he started to talk to a beautiful young woman (albeit he was only 23), this mere encounter blossomed into a beautiful relationship.

2 years past and he one day he woke up one morning and went to his balcony, He then thought back over his life and thought,

” Me this abandoned child, know operating one of the most successful accountancy firms in the world, have a beautiful girlfriend of 1 and a half years, and many friends.”

This he then decided was how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with all the people he held dear. Then one day he received a very suspicious letter, he opened it and it read. If you want to see your precious girlfriend again you're going to hand over all your stock to your company, deliver at 5 East Street at 12. And any cops she dies. So he goes along with all his paperwork and is waiting there when a car pulls up. Out steps a small round man with a thin moustache, as well as 3 big bodyguards and his girlfriend.

“Hand them over then.”

The little man said, so Baraku went over and handed them over.

“Boys.”

He nodded then one of the bodyguards pulled out a gun and shot his girlfriend at point blank range. Baraku started shouted profanities and charged at them. One bodyguard smacked him on the side of the head and he fell unconscious.
The next thing he remembers is being tied up for a chair in his office with two of the three goons stood in front of him and the little fat man, the other was over by the safe

"Did you think I wouldn’t realise they were fake? Tell us the combination to your safe.”

Baraku looked and smiled

” Hell no you fat s**t.”

”Well okay then if you want it like that nothing a bit of torture wont cure.”

One of the goons came over to him and ripped his shirt; he then pulled out a knife and started to cut his chest.

“Going to tell us now.””

No you killed my girlfriend you're not having everything that I have.”

“Okay well cut him up a bit more.”

After about 20 minutes of being cut up Baraku’s chest and legs were covered in blood and he was barely conscious.

“You going to tell us now.”

“No....not a......ch-ch-chance.”

Baraku said while spitting up blood. Now the little man looked angry.

”FINE ILL JUST KILL YOU AND BLOW THE SAFE UP.”

He then took out a gun and shot him right between the eyes.

Baraku then woke up on a dust round and felt rather confused but no pain. He got up and looked around, a small child walked up to him and asked if he was alright.

“Yeah, where am I.”

” This is Rukongai.”

” Oh right well that's better then.” He replied sarcastically.

“Come to my home to rest.” So they started to walk together down the old dusty road. Many years passed and Baraku had learned all about spirits, Rukongai, Shinigami everything. He also had developed a pretty impressive spiritual pressure and decided to take the shinigami exam. And the rest is history.
