Profile Information
Name: Shimada Aiden
alias: The Blood Thirsty Beast
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Faction: Human
Rank: Wanderer
Reiatsu Color: A neon, electrical blue
Reiatsu Aura: When exposed to Aiden’s reiatsu, one feels as if the air is charged with electricity.
Appearance:
Tall and well built from years of training, Aiden has shaggy shoulder length brown hair, dark green eyes, and a somewhat handsome face. His skin is slightly pale, and definitely not Japanese. He usually has a playful smirk on his lips. He wears simple traveling clothes, similar in shape and design to those of the Shinigami. They are a dark brown and fit him well. He tends to wear simple straw sandals on his feet.
Personality: Aiden is somewhat...off. His moods are chaotic and unpredictable, like a violent storm. One moment, he might be peaceful and lazy, and another may reveal him to be psychotic and vile. He is rough, rude, and crude, and is of questionable moral fiber. No one likes good food or drink better than he, and he always appreciates a good fight. His acts of murder and violent are random. He might spare someone's life, or he might mercilessly end it, all on a whim.
History: To say that Aiden’s beginnings were humble would be a bold faced lie. If anything, Aiden’s birth was surrounded by a tempest of activity and strife…literally. Aiden was born aboard a ship to an Irish woman named Sophia. Sophia's husband, Roland, was a merchant who traveled the silk road, selling and trading with the various people and countries they met along the way. Upon reaching the Chinese coast, Roland decided to pay for a ship to take he and his cargo across the ocean. Not wanting to be separated from her husband, Sophia boarded the ship with him, despite her late pregnancy. She hoped to birth her baby in Japan, someplace that was supposedly beautiful and rich. Midway through the voyage, the ship was caught up in a terrible storm, one that shook the ship, battered the sails, and ravaged the crew aboard it. When the storm finally died down, Aiden was born. Being a baby with high spiritual power, he became a magnet for hollows. Drawn to the babe, they wrought havoc upon the ship. Tearing at the sails, eating the the sailors, destroying the rudder of the ship. As the boat went further and further of course, the crew began to panic. The captain and navigator did their best, but when the hollows devoured them, there was little else that could be done.
Thrown to the mercy of the gods of the sea, pushed around at the whim of the currents, the ship rapidly ran low on rations, and the crew low on patience. Why the hollows never got the babe, no one was sure. Maybe there were soul reapers about protecting them, maybe it was blind luck, but the babe and his mother survived. As the days dragged on, with no way to repair the sails or rudder, the ship drifted at the whim of the ocean.
Finally, as the boat drifted into the Sea of Japan, the tenuous peace of the crew snapped. The sailors, superstitious lot that they were, assumed that the woman was a witch, and her babe a demon. They set her in a small boat and sent the two out into the ocean alone. Doomed to drown at sea, the woman prayed for her baby’s safety, knowing that while she herself had nothing to eat, the babe had yet to be weaned, and might still survive to see land again. Whether her god answered her prayers or not, after three days at sea the little boat washed onto the beaches of the island of Kyushu. A small monastery, home to a clan of monks, was situated near the beach, and a trio of monks fishing nearby heard the wailing of the baby. Upon finding the boat, they feared that the strange, pale woman with fiery hair was dead, so malnourished and thin was she. Her babe, still clutched in her arms, was wailing hungrily, it too thinner than it should have been. They carried the woman and her babe to the monastery, where the monks nursed her back to health and saved her and her child. Sheltering the two storm tossed foreigners, they showed a kindness that the Shimada Monks were well known for.
Aiden grew up alongside the orphaned children of the Monastery, his brothers so to speak. His mother, brought back from the brink of death, learned the skills of medicine and became a sort of nurse. The monks, who sought to find tranquility through the practice of Martial arts, taught Aiden their skills, training him as one of the other boys in their care. Aiden loved his life among the monks, and had many friends there. They were a sort of extended family.
As Aiden’s powers began to further manifest, he was approached by one of the elder monks, Brother Miroki. Miroki, a master of the spiritual arts, informed Aiden that since he arrived, more and more hollows had been coming to the temple. It was time for Aiden to temper and control his powers, lest they draw in more hollows than the spiritually aware members of the temple could handle.
Miroki took Aiden under his wing; drawing out the boy’s hidden potential and training him to use it against hollows. At first, he was terrified of his power. It felt wild and uncontrollable to the young boy. However, with time Miroki's training allowed him to feel more at ease with his techniques, and eventually he learned to control them to the point that he no longer leaked spiritual energy like a running hose. He enjoyed the training, the structure. It made him feel special, and he was proud of the things he accomplished. Miroki saw the pride as harmless, but in fact it corrupted Aiden. He began looking for trouble, leaking reiatsu so that hollows would come.
One day, Aiden was feeling restless and bored. He drew in a large number of hollows, confident in his ability to defeat them. He was wrong however. The hollows were too much. They overwhelmed him, and attacked the monastery, killing everyone inside. Aiden suffered a psychotic break, and his powers increased rapidly, driving him into an enraged, savage frenzy. He slew every single hollow, and went hunting for more.
Eventually, Aiden managed to calm himself to the point that he could once again function among people, albeit only the villainous scum type of people who tolerated his chaotic nature and destructive tendencies. He has since fallen in with a group of bandits, and enjoys the freedom his position grants him.
Aiden's madness is random, chaotic, some days worse than others. There are rare, rare days where he is nearly one hundred percent sane, and the knowledge of his past deeds haunts him. Unfortunately, his madness always returns. Some times he can feel it coming, and when he does, he tries his hardest to remove himself from other people, at least until he can come back to his senses. There is a secret part of his heart that continuously seeks a cure to this madness, so that he might once again return to the kind of person he once was.
