Shinigami
Unseated - 1st Division

Junichiro Kanda (WIP) R5fVOma

I D E N T I F I C A T I O N

Name: Junichiro Kanda
Apparent Age: ~20
Actual Age: 23
Squad: First Division
Rank: Unseated

Eye Color: Greyish blue
Height: 176cm or 5'9"
Weight: 80kg or 176lbs
Hair Color and Style: Black, generally unkempt and wind-swept.
Clothing and Accessories:Hardly one for conformity, Junichiro usually wears various parts of red traditional japanese armour over his standard shinigami uniform.
Generalized Appearance: The young lord stands at 176 centimeters, holding a lax and carefree stance, with piercing eyes filled with mischief. He usually appears to be in a good, happy-go-lucky mood.
Spiritual Pressure Analysis: Junichiro's spiritual pressure is usually akin to the warmth of the sun on a warm summer morning, not hot enough to burn, nor cold enough to be hidden behind the clouds, underpinned by the smell of freshly burnt wood. It easily shifts to a scorching heat wave when he is angered or engaged in combat, as if prompting one to find shelter from the blazing sun.

Overall Personality: Junichiro is an easy-going young man with a rebellious streak that has always been driven by passion; If he cannot bring himself to care about something, his attention is lost almost immediately. He enjoys casual conversations and making friends, but detests the false pretenses and forced smiles that most nobles seem to value so much, finding them insulting and a waste of everyone's time.

The young lord has always enjoyed life, perhaps a tad too much. Much of his young life has been spent in decadence, as he neglected his duties and studies while "partaking" in the finer things in the afterlife. His new duties have put a damper on his carousing habits however, as he's found himself, perhaps fortunately, too busy to pursue them.

Contrary to the rumors surrounding him and the less than stellar reputation he's accrued over the years, the young clan head is neither lazy or dim-witted. Rather, his indifference in his family's affairs has always stemmed from a lack of interest. Lack of interest in paperwork; in ruling over his family's subjects; in the squabbles of the noble families; in power. Growing up, he could never see himself as the head of the family, fully expecting his far more dutiful younger brother to succeed his father's position, when the time finally came. Only when it was announced that this was indeed the case, did he find himself beginning to care about his birthright, out of jealousy. Only when both his father and brother were murdered in cold blood, did he find himself caring about all those boring and bothersome things wholly, out of regret and duty.

Overarching History
Junichiro was born in 1997, as the first son of the Kanda noble clan in Seireitei. As the successor of the large clan, his early life was nothing short of luxurious, with his parents and other clan members spoiling him in all aspects; He'd eat the finest meals, receive the finest gifts and be given the highest education with the finest tutors available. All this was in stark contrast to his younger brother, born two years later, whom no one laid any expectations on to, who received a far more modest upbringing, as he was far from the priority of their parents.

No wonder, then, that Junichiro turned out as he did. Soon enough, his parents and caretakers noticed that the young boy was uninterested in the goings on around him; He grew tired of eating the same luxurious and boring meals day in and day out, often sneaking out into southern Rukongai to eat with some peasant children he'd befriended; he was unphased by the fineries that were brought before him, often smuggling many of the gifts out of his family's estate, helping the parents of the peasants he'd befriended monetarily and he began neglecting the more formal - far more important, in his parents' eyes - parts of his studies, highly preferring kendo to logistics, usually tardy to classes, if present at all. This was all, once more, in stark contrast to his younger brother, who not only proved to be a hard worker, but a budding genius.

At the age of 13, his father enrolled him in Shinōreijutsuin not only because he was the first Kanda in some time with a significantly high spiritual presence, but in hopes that the young heir would learn discipline. Junichiro took well to the idea, as he felt the role of a shinigami suited him far better than the menial work of being clan head. However, his disposition didn't seem to improve, as he continued misbehaving, in his family's eyes.

As the years passed, Junichiro, now a young man, continued his wayward behavior. His unseemly behavior finally began reaching a boiling point, as he'd not only taken on habits of carousing during his academy years, but gotten involved with some unsavory characters, with alleged underworld connections. One evening, the clan guards had apprehended the young heir in the act of trying to disrupt the clan's supply lines. With pressure mounting from all sides within the clan, this was the last straw for his father, who stripped Junichiro of his birthright, naming his younger brother the new heir. Junichiro would have been furious if he did not feel so relieved. Even he knew that it was the right choice, and despite his brewing jealousy, he accepted the decision whole-heartedly as he, no longer the heir, could finally focus on what he truly cared about; Becoming a good shinigami.

A few years later, at the age of 22, Junichiro finally graduated from the academy. As he did, his father, out of sentimentality and much to the chagrin of most other clan members, awarded him with their ancestral zanpakuto, an old, rusted sword which had not been used in eons.  As a new shinigami of the Kanda clan, he was expected to act as a guard of both the head and heir. Instead, he rarely answered his family's summons, instead taking every opportunity to do other shinigami work, as he felt the meetings and discussions between the nobles was exhausting, even with him only having to stand by and listen. Additionally, the world of the living called to the young and eager shinigami , as he was itching for not only the freedom from his family's courtly matters it would bring, but the excitement and glory of slaying hollows and protecting people.

One such ignored summons was to a run-of-the-mill noble gathering. That fateful day, his services might have been sorely needed, as word reached him that both his father and younger brother had not returned from it alive, meaning he had succeeded his father as head of the Kanda household.
