## History

Early Childhood
Suiiki was born into one of the newer noble clans of the soul society, the Ryujin clan. While he was young Suiiki showed exemplary amounts of spiritual energy from birth and was noted to always have to eat food. A trait that normally souls do not have to worry about. Many people say he inherited this trait from his mother who was a high-ranking officer in the shinigami.

From an early age, Suiiki was trained and taught by his mother in the ways of the shinigami. When he hit adolescence Suiiki had learned to use flash-step to levels of efficiency that rivaled that of some captain level shinigami. His daily life was filled with training and studying to become a shinigami under his mother's supervision. Suiiki spent little time with others. Much less outside of his clan's estate. Although Suiiki did have one childhood friend whom his mother also spent her time training, after taking her in from another clan. As he grew Suiiki gained multiple skills that allowed him to rival other shinigami his mother would occasionally bring to spar with. For the most part, he lived a quiet peaceful life, aside from the occasional attacks on the soul society.

One day however on a certain attack on the soul society Suiiki accompanied his mother to defend the soul society although he had not yet received a Zanpakutō. Suddenly a Menos grande appeared and tore through the local towns. Before the shinigami had time to arrive at the location. The hollow fired a cero on Suiiki. His mother however took the blow which caused a fatal wound. Suiiki tried to save his mother however he was powerless and could do nothing to help. Before she passed she spoke her final words to Suiiki, telling him how proud she has been over the years and that she was sure he would become an excellent shinigami one day. After her parting words, Suiiki's mother died in his arms. When Suiiki returned to his clan estate the residents curse at him for letting their current leader die. However, his childhood friend was among the only ones to forgive him for the tragedy. Together with her Suiiki buried his mother and created a shrine in her honor. After this Suiiki told his friend he be leaving to become a shinigami. He intended to become a captain and gain the strength to be able to protect others. His friend promised that she would also become a shinigami as well and become his lieutenant once he became captain.

He then studied certain kido but mainly focused on Hohō and his swordsmanship. Suiiki eventually graduated in only one year and was placed in the tenth division.

Tenth Division
When Suiiki was placed in the tenth division many noted that he reminded them of the captain Toshiro Hitsugaya. Researched the captain and learned many useful lessons from the documents. Suiiki aimed to help out his fellow shinigami and also assist those who have yet to unlock Shikai. manny of the males in his division have grown jealous of him at times as he seems to attract many girls although, Suiiki himself pays them no mind. Many of his fellow shinigami praise him for his strength, calm nature, and mind. While also being able to give orders in the absence of a captain or lieutenant. His end goal is to improve overall efficiency combat strength and group readiness. Seeing that the tenth division mainly specializes in large-scale operations. It is also noted that the others in the tenth division decided to give Suiiki the captain's quarters, Although though he polity declined until he becomes captain.

## Relationships

Besides this Suiiki cares for the well-being of his captain. As shown in Top of the Morning when he bolts into a blizzard to hopefully reach his captain. after hearing his life might be in danger.

**Kamui Shihōin**: Suiiki does not have a particular liking for the captain of the Second Division. He does not agree with the man's methods nor his views but respects the man's ability and skill.

The Saya is of a white color. its tsuba is of a mokko gata shape, being slimmer and a bit longer than the common overall shape. it is of a gold color. The Tsuka is black with white Tsuka-ito wrapping.

By locking onto spiritual pressure suiiki can move over long distances using this shadow transport, the ability has two main types,

1. Self teleportation. Suiiki alone can move himself through the shadows even choosing to hide in them for a certain amount of time. Using this he can place shadows on others and as long as they are within a certain range. ( as long as he can pinpoint their spiritual pressure clearly, he can move to their location.)

2. Suiiki can create temporary portals for others to go through with him, or by themselves this included objects. Thus moving the item or person to the previous or other location. This like Suiiki’s personal transport can be used to hide within the shadows( for example hiding an old lady within the shadows by being in between portals. However this goes with another ability and is draining on suiiki more than personal teleport.

* **Shin'en kirinukeru**: The ultamate skill of Suiiki's Shikai. By sending forth a wave of shadows onto an opponent. Suiiki morphs the darkness to completly shroud its target in a pitch black. The shadows eventually beggingin to dig into them as Suiiki's blade caves the shadows inwards like the moon breaking darkness effectivly running the target straight through. Anyone who watched the display could mistake the display for a wave of koi but also a tranquil being, if not for the sword.

This skill can be used against all races and is most deadly during the night. Ss the shadows can be unpredictible and even come from multiple sides. Anyone whos caught within the wake of this would at the least be missing a limb as the result but in most cases their life is requiered.
