Basic InformationName: Kujou Takashi
Age: 207 (Appears in his Early Twenties)
Gender: Male
Division: Eighth Division
Looks: - Spoiler:
Looks- Takashi stands at an above average height, for a male of Japanese descent, of 5 feet and 8 inches. Takashi's height is underlined by the way he carries himself, held upright and almost zero fear in his eyes or in his swagger. Takashi sports a rather impressive body with muscles, while not excessively large to the point where you can't help but notice, that do so tell the tale of a man who works out to keep fit. Takashi's hands tell the tale of a young man who has seen his fair share of brawls, with all of his knuckles having a callus it is easy to see, for one who bothers to look, that when trouble ensues and a fight breaks out Takashi is one of the first to throw a punch. While he does nothing in particular to make it so, Takashi does sport a rather fearsome look. With a grin that could shivers up the spine of an eskimo and eyes that speak of nothing but rage and violence Takashi does indeed paint the picture of a man about to snap.
Hair- Takashi's hair is rather unruly and the fact that Takashi does nothing within his own power to contain it is not missed as it usually appears rather ruffled and with at least two stray bangs hanging down into his face. This frames his face in such a fashion that even his already fierce grin and eyes appear even more ferocious. Takashi posses brown hair which shade seems to change with the amount of shadows hitting it, sometimes appearing auburn and other times appearing the normal shade of dark brown. Though it is more common to see it in it's auburn form.

#1- The first of Hoshi Fuka's abilities is the ability for it's user to interject his Reiatsu (Reiryoku when it is in use) into it and compress and change it into a concussive force. The concussive force is roughly equal to the amount of force generated by a punch delivered by Takashi, the blast is launched by utilizing a punching motion.
#2- The second of Hoshi Fuka's abilities is the ability to enhance the force behind it's users punches with no actual input from said user. This allows Takashi to fully utilize his Hakuda skills to their deadliest.

Bankai Ability:Hoshi Fuka has a rather simple series of abilities when in Bankai form.
#1- The ability to condense it's users Reiatsu into a concussive energy ball in an enhanced version of the first of it's Shikai abilities. However while the Shikai's version of this ability is as strong as it's users punch this version is roughly equal to the power released by Hado of levels such as Eighty.
#2. Enhanced Endurance- Takashi's Bankai gives it's user a skin tight Reiryoku based armor under the Bankai's own armor which can be used in a manner similar to Arrancar's Hierro in case of the user's Outer Bankai armor breaking.

Background and PersonalityHistory Born in Tokyo, as a human by the same name that he goes by now Takashi was born the second son of the three Kujou brothers. When Takashi was born it was expected that he would be the financial adviser to his older brother who was the heir to the Kujou Family Communication Corporate, however Takashi and his mother had different ideas. When Takashi was eight his father began to teach him the very basics of business, as he had been taught Takashi’s father was gentle and understanding when teaching as to let his son adapt quickly. To augment his learning Takashi’s father also hired a piano tutor to help his son look forward to something so that he would do his business lessons with all his heart. It was apparent almost instantly the amount of talent that Takashi had when it came to the Piano.
As the years went by Takashi’s business lessons became fewer and fewer until eventually they stopped occurring altogether. Takashi swiftly found that while the poorer children were having fun playing games he was spending most of his free time devoted to the Piano. Soon enough Takashi became a bit of a recluse in school as well. His parents began pressuring him with the piano and the stress was driving him up the wall. By his Second Year in Junior High School Takashi was beginning to nurse ideas of running away, suicide even. In his Third Year Takashi asked a group of the Neighborhood kids to play a game of soccer, while his athletic ability left much to be desired he was still well liked among the group.
As Takashi walked home after his first real game of soccer a drunk driver hit him causing Takashi to become a wandering spirit.
Asaga’s time as a spirit however was short lived as a Shinigami swiftly approached him and performed a Soul Burial. While in Seireitei Takashi spent his time playing games and just getting by. With no real way to make any form of money for food or drink of any kind , Takashi soon found himself a thief along with a group of other child thieves. After attempting to steal a Shinigami's Zanpakutou in hopes of utilizing it to become a bandit, however this plan failed as the Shinigami captured him and gave him a rather lengthy scolding. After roughly twenty years in Seireitei Takashi had finally solidified his decision to become a Shinigamias he had long since grown bored of being hungry and so on.
It was soon discovered that Takashi had little talent for all but Hand to Hand Combat. With such little ability in the rest of the Four Shinigami Aspects Takashi found himself mostly alone. Lonely and miserable Takashi spent many a day simply wandering in hopes of encountering someone who he could relate to, but to no avail. One day, however, Takashi soon found what he had been looking for since he had arrived at Shinigami Academy. He came across a boy who was in quite the opposite situation as him with skill in almost every component of what made a good Shinigami he was being shunned by his classmates for one upping them over and over. Takashi spoke with the boy and soon learned that his name was Rito and together with Rito they worked on how to make friends. Though they made no other friends Rito tutored Takashi in the other aspects of the Shinigami and Takashi was very near Rito’s level by their Sixth year together.
When graduation rolled around Rito was sent into the Third Squad and Takashi into the Second Division. It was not three years afterward that Takashi caught word of a young man who had risen quickly in the ranks of the Third Division had encountered a rather strangely powerful hollow who proceeded to kill the young man. Fearing it to be Rito Takashi rushed to the area that was dedicated to the fourth division and soon had his fears confirmed as he came across the now deceased body of his best friend. Now driven by grief Takashi strove with renewed vigor to reach levels of untold power. Having seen Rito's skill first hand, Takashi had been convinced that his friend would eventually be given the title of captain and so in his stead Takashi decided to become a captain.
With years upon years of training Takashi soon found himself the third seat of the Eighth Division and quite the formidable opponent, he knew himself to be stronger than average as he often visited the 11th Division Barracks to spar with a few of their members. Suddenly something interrupted Takashi's dreams and he found himself once again face to face with his own Zanpakutou spirit, this time his spirit however seemed intent on speaking and telling rather than asking as it had down before. And it was with such a disgraceful and upfront method that Takashi found himself in possession of his very own bankai, just what it would mean was up to him. Now with his Bankai Takashi began specializing his training, focusing solely on mastering his newly attained bankai, this was helped by the fact that Takashi had once been given lessons on just such a thing by Rito. So with almost 2 decades worth of effort Takashi attempted to become a member of the Gotei 13 as a captain via Recommendations, though it take quite the time to get all of the necessary recommendations.
Personality Takashi has a great desire to always be the center of attention. Whether it be for his talent when it comes to the spoken word or for his rather comical antics. As such Takashi has grown to be quite the CONFIDENT fellow.
Takashi has a rather sharp tongue on him and when almost any kind of beat is played Takashi can be seen, bobbing his head, tapping his feet or just standing there, eyes closed, enjoying the tune. Takashi has quite the violent streak which stems from his rather PRIDEFUL to the point where some consider him ARROGANT in certain scenarios (almost all). A rather EMOTIONAL person, it is simple to see just what Takashi is feeling, this combined with the fact he makes no effort to hide anything said emotions does make it especially simple.
While Takashi is rather ARGUMENTATIVE and is quick to throw jibes and insults around, when it comes to fist fights and the like he is actually rather PASSIVE and does work to defuse the situation. However, if worst comes to worst and a fight breaks out, Takashi can be depended on to throw some punches and is not afraid of getting hit back. Takashi is the type of fellow who does his best to bite back his tears and when they do flow he works to hide them from witnesses for fear of losing face as he is rather INSECURE about being labeled weak.
Takashi has long since proven to both himself and numerous people that he is an IMPRESSIVE ACTOR, as he tends to put in more passion and emotion than an average person might. While Takashi is commonly noticed as WITTY and QUICK-THINKING he finds himself rather FLUSTERED around females that he is attracted to and instead tries to adopt the rather played out strong silent type.
Role-play Sample: - Spoiler:
The wind suddenly picked up and caused Takashi’s hair to whip around his face in a rather distracting fashion, but try as the wind and hair duo could Takashi was not planning on taking his vision off of his target. He stood upon the roof of the towns bank, the second largest building in this rural and quintet little Japanese town, the name of which he had long since forgotten. Takashi stared at the Plus spirit of the little raven haired boy as he floated along, a smile on his face. Takashi sighed heavily when he saw his true target begin to make its move, this one was not going to last long if his target got serious from the get go. The pterodactyl shaped Hollow opened its wings and flapped once, the chase was on and Takashi was not going to be a part of it. The Hollow let out a hair raising screech and Takashi noticed as the Plus Spirit first froze and then turned slowly, like a deer caught in headlights the spirit was obviously aware that danger was imminent. The Hollow suddenly burst from it’s spot at a shocking speed, not towards the spirit but towards Takashi himself. He let out a sharp yelp as he felt something heavy slam into his gut with a high velocity. “You’ve gotta be kidding me!” He thought to himself as soared above the town. He heard a highly annoying yordle of laughter begin and continue as the Hollow expressed it’s glee “Did you really think I would go after a soft skinned little Plus Spirit when I could just go after a delicious Shinigami like you, and besides I do believe that my beloveds will appreciate me sharing this delicacy” the hollow who Takashi had been informed was called “Sora” the sky shark. “Okay Takashi, think this one through carefully or else I’m, OH MY GOD!” Takashi had thought all but the last three words, for those, he could not but help scream loudly at what he saw. Flying towards both Sora and he were a trio of green fleshy looking hawk like creatures. “COME MY CHILDREN!!!” Sora’s high pitched and screeching voice filled the air as he curved upwards and then let go of his prey.
For a split second Takashi hung weightless in the air but then gravity grabbed hold of the inexperienced Hollow fighter and began to drag him down to the earth. Takashi’s mind was completely blank as he saw the earth swiftly rising up to meet him at an accelerating pace, if Takashi didn’t do something swiftly death was assured. Takashi winced loudly as something ripped through his “Shihakusho” and cause a rather shallow wound to appear across his shoulder down to the top of his pectoral, the source of the wound became clear as he saw a green hawk shaped blur whiz by him on the way down. The pain seemed to break Takashi’s fear and nervousness away allowing him to think both clearly and swiftly even in such a dangerous situation. Takashi observed the ground below him, it was a forest, not a very dense forest so it was ideal for this situation, albeit if his plan worked. Takashi clamped his hands together as if he was praying and began to chant, at his estimate he had about 22 seconds before he hit the forest and ended up either impaled on a tree trunk or so broken it didn’t matter what he was impaled on. Takashi’s chanting however was swiftly interrupted as the hawk creatures, as if sensing he had a plan to save himself, began to swarm around him in a aerial hellhole of shallow cuts and scrapes and pecks. Takashi tried his best to ignore the pain though it continued on whether he ignored it or not. Takashi was almost done, as was his time, only twelve seconds remained until Takashi crashed into the ground and became like so much spilled paint can on driveway. Takashi finished summoning up his energy and thrust his palm at the forest below whilst screaming “Bakudo 37,Tsuriboshi!”. Suddenly a ball of spiritual energy launched itself from his palm and branched out with three long tendrils of the energy grabbed hold of a thick tree trunk, the energy cushion and it’s tendrils formed a safety cushion rather than a star, an obvious failure, but a usable one. Takashi’s look of astonishment and horror was swiftly swept away by a look of pain as the birds, seemingly acknowledging his now possible survival, kicked it up a notch with their orb of speeding death.
Takashi’s right hand dived into his sleeve and there was a flash of black light as Takashi took the wing of one of the hawk creatures and broke their formation. The other two hawk creatures, obviously sensing the new danger of coming close to their target stopped swirling around in their painful aerial maneuver. Takashi was unprepared for the collision with his own spiritual safety net and thus he landed on his scratch covered back causing a sharp pain to shoot through him, the fact that the fall also knocked the air out of him didn’t help either. Suddenly Takashi was falling again, he was instantly aware of what had occurred. “My Bakudo couldn’t support my weight, it failed, and I’m falling again” Takashi thought to himself as he performed a single back flip and landed on the ground with a soft “thump”. Takashi fell to his knees, the entirety of what had just occurred bared down on his mind like a tiger on a mouse and he felt his control over his own bladder swiftly retreating. Takashi felt fear convulsions begin all over his body and he fell forward as if he were preparing to crawl. He felt a rather soothingly hot liquid making it’s way down the side of his head down to the tip of his nose and to his chin and then fall away, his eyes were closed so he was uncertain but he was pretty sure that it was his own blood. A series of loud screeches could be heard being made above Takashi, but not far enough above that he felt safe, at absolute max the noises were originating at about 210 feet. Takashi got his feet, he could feel each of the cuts on his body almost individually and from a medic’s point of view he knew that all he would really need is a long rest and maybe a little healing salve for some of the worst wounds. “I’m still in battling shape, I think I can win this one if I go all out” Takashi thought to himself as he tightened his hold on his Zanpakutou, he was ready for an all out war if it meant killing the “Sora” Hollow.
“Haoto, Hoshi Fuka” Takashi muttered and his blade was engulfed in a white light and began to separate, the first of the two pieces attached itself to his sword hand it's duplicate followed it's lead and it changed into a trench knife. Suddenly Takashi’s head snapped upwards so fast it actually made a crack sound as some of his joints lost their position. The forests trees were being blown from their spots by the huge gusts of wind that Sora made as his wings flapped. “He seems, bigger and kind of more hawk-like” Takashi thought to himself as he stared at the hollow. “He’s at least as big as a two story building, maybe a little bigger!” Takashi thought to himself as his newborn fear showed on his face causing Sora to go into his familiar high pitched laughter. “I bet you fear this new and mighty form, but I was even bigger before you ruined it by killing my precious child. You see, I have the ability to divide myself into a main body and sub bodies. You killed a chunk of me when you cut that sub body down during your decent. Also, congratulations on surviving long enough and annoying me enough to make me want to kill you at my best. Rejoice, at least your strength will go amplify my own.” Sora explained with what Takashi imagined was a wicked grin. Takashi opened his mouth to rebuttal but was cut off as he felt a sudden immense pain shoot through his left side. Takashi let out gasp and looked at his side to find it bleeding and a deep cut that he did not remember having grinning wickedly at him. Takashi slammed his palm to the wound and turned around to find Sora there perched on a branch chuckling to himself. “You didn’t even see me move did you little Shinigami. Such a shame I missed your most vital organs but I’m pretty sure these mighty talons of mine nicked something rather important somewhere in there shinigami. AH! Look your passing out, and I thought you would at least prove a challenge. Too bad you let your guard down, you might have had a chance otherwise” Sora was correct in all respects, Takashi could feel a type of pain deep in his stomach the likes of which he had never felt before and especially in the bits just below his ribs, had he been paying attention like he should’ve been he might dodged and even launched a counter and he was losing consciousness as all these thoughts whirled around in his head. “Is this how I die, so young? So inexperienced? During my first mission?” Takashi asked himself as his vision grew black around the edges, he could feel Hoshi Fuka shaking ever so slightly.
"Good evening, Takashi. It's been quite the time hasn't it" a voice Takashi couldn't quite place asked h, Takashi knew that the question was rhetorical as he heard no sense of a question mark at the end of the statement. "Do not interrupt me" Hoshi Fuka barked sharply as he raised a finger and silenced Takashi by pressing it to his lips. Takashi and Hoshi were located inside of Takashi's Spirit world which took the appearance of a large dining room which was empty except for himself and Hoshi who sat at a table eating dinner. After Hoshi had explained Takashi nodded and stood only to find himself back in the forest with Sora.
"Lets Go you overgrown turkey, I'm about to shown you the Jumping Shark!" Takashi shouted, having spontaneously named the maneuver that Hoshi had explained for him. As Sora wound up to take a another flying dive at Takashi the young Shinigami reared back and let loose a huge swing. As the trench knives made contact with Sora ,Takashi let loose a burst of concussive Reiatsu causing it to shoot straight through the hollow's hard beak and into it's skull and killing it. Now falling backwards onto his bottom Takashi noticed that his sudden growth in Reiatsu had worked to close his wound. "Worst. Mission. Ever." Takashi muttered, he stressed the gap in time between each word for his own amusement and couldn't help but let out a loud burst of laughter.
