Alignment: 100 Light
Overall Personality: Taiyo is a calm, mellowed individual who takes very few things to be concerned over. He will often times laugh it out, sigh before moving on or simply shrug it off. His favorite motto is "it is what it is." In some ways, Taiyo is a very hypocritical person and acknowledges this freely. Taiyo is smart, able to empathize with most people he meets, so long as they are not psychotic. His lazy attitude will often times hide a more worried mentality under it all. He concerns himself greatly with those he has come to care about, and should they come into harms way, Taiyo is the first to jump to their defense even at the cost of his own safety.
Taiyo gives off an air of a carefree person, wearing the mantle of a fool but under it all, he has many worries. This is often times considered a flaw by those around him, to which he will acknowledge freely, yet doesn't truly try to change it. He has come to be comfortable with his pace in life, yet this hypocritical nature of his also manifests itself here as well. He understands that to protect those he cares about, he has to work to grow stronger and to grow stronger means even more work. Yet his underlying fear of his children not being protected has pushed him to ignore his lazy attitude and prompted him to take action to fix this.
Deep down he feels shame at being around younger people in the academy, feeling like he is out of place with the teenagers, young adults and even children of the academy. While he is not pushed away from his original task of becoming a influential family due to this, he understand that he is seen as a weirdo by some of the younger students. Taiyo has troubles in the academy as he cannot use kido, or has little understanding of what is happening when it comes to it. While he tries his best to keep up, his lazy attitude coupled with his inability to perform kido has held him back severely. Yet he tries his best with what he is given.
The death of Taiyo's late wife and second youngest daughter to a hollow's hands has made the shinigami hate them deep down, but he tries to suppress such rage and move on with his grief. Yet inside he blames himself for his lack of strength to protect his lover, which has both driven him and haunted him. Both their deaths weight him down but push him to better himself for the rest of his family. He knows his kids don't blame him, but he fears that some form of resentment toward him resides in their hearts. To this end, to make it up to them in both his eyes and to better their future chances, Taiyo is willing to step up further than he ever has before.

-Powers-
Fighting Style: Taiyo's fighting style is not very complex. At the start of any battle, Taiyo is a very silly individual as he flails about like an idiot by using his acting skills to appear harmless. Despite these seemingly wild swings, he will use his sword in a competent manner enough to inflict harm to anyone he is swinging at. This includes pretending to trip and falling and defending himself even while laying on the ground in a goof ballish manner. In most fights, he will spend his time pretending to be on the back foot while defending and rarely attacking his foes unless he sees an opening. Though he will attack if prompted to and sees no other option given his opponent won't approach him.
However, this fighting style is only a front to a very physical based combat style. Taiyo prefers to fight up close and personal to use his abnormal strength to the fullest. Using the skills he has learned, Taiyo uses his long reach and heavy weapon to its fullest strength. When defensive, Taiyo will simply retreat as much as possible while waiting for the right moment to strike. While this two are his primary way of fighting, letting his opponent crash upon his defenses and uses his long range to keep them at bay, he can be offensive when he wants to be.
Upon unleashing his full power, Taiyo will tend to take to the offense, wanting to close the gape as soon as possible and deliver lethal blows. Though he does not enjoy this style of fighting, Taiyo can utilize his brute strength and master of his blade to poke open the defenses of his opponent.

Kenpachi Ability:
Child of the Sun:
Taiyo is a very compassionate person, wanting to see the world be at peace so that no child ever loses a parent or a parent must bury their child. This feeling has manifested itself into the very aura that floods his soul. A kind spirit who wishes only the best for those with the good of heart and wishes them to be at ease. He does not wish for them to suffer. As such, the Child of the Sun ability is his good will spread across the field. It sooths the pain of those around him, friend or foe alike with the good will in his heart. From his aura, those effected feel less pain from their wounds, feeling their fatigue slip away as if washed away in the gentle caress of the sun.
His aura is not blinding in its radiance but rather a faint light emits from him enough to feel like a gentle sun kiss on a warm day. This aura is further strengthened by his reiatsu, giving even more soothing sensations and helping those around him relax. It does not attempt to inflict harm on another and as his reiatsu strength grows, so does its effects. Upon reaching 600 reiatsu, it sooths the pain of those around him. They are capable of accepting their injuries and feeling at ease. At 1,000 reiatsu, Taiyo's aura is able to gentle help them recover from their minor injuries similar to damage recovery 1. This effects everyone within his aura range besides himself.
However, on the flip side of this charming and helpful aura. When Taiyo suffers from extreme anger or fury, he exudes a chilling blood lust. This inflicts fear based upon his reiatsu that attacks anyone's psych relentlessly. This is caused by the extreme emotional toil upon his emotions and the rage burning in his chest. An image of a purple skeletons upper body forming around him, the skeleton cradling Taiyo and looking down at him. This skeleton is simply an imagery at the start of his rage and then disappearing, signaling that the aura has begun. Friend and foe alike are afflicted by this aura of malice, and those without lack of fear suffer from this aura. This ability is activated by extreme emotional trauma.

History: Born in the rukongai, Taiyo was raised in there all of his life. Born to a shinigami father and waitress, Taiyo spent a lot of time hoping his father would come home safe while patiently waiting for his mother to return. He would bid his time staring into the skies of seireitei watching the birds go by, basking in the sunlight of the day. On rainy days, he would watch in silence waiting for the sun to show itself once more. Taiyo was considered abnormal from the start, a child who rarely cried and always had a smile on his face. Even when injured, the boy would simply laugh away his pain even when he cut his forehead open and was bleeding.
His father loved them dearly, treating them with love each time he came home. He would talk to his son often about the shinigami, yet the boy could not imagine having to hurt others. Taiyo disliked fighting because of this very fact, and refused to defend himself even against bullies who he could win against. He stood up for others often, rarely sitting idle while someone else was being harmed. He was so protective of other people that even when a drunk adult was hitting a man weaker than the drunk, Taiyo stepped in between them when no one else would. He was beaten severely but never backed down even after having one eye swollen shut.
Thankfully his father arrived in time to save him from receiving further punishment, though Taiyo did not see what happened next. Upon seeing his father, relief flooded Taiyo and he immediately passed out. Upon awakening, he was scolded for doing something reckless... but was praised for doing the right thing. He was told that Taiyo was like the sun, a bright boy who's heart was bigger than his little body but one day his body would match that raging sun inside him. Taiyo took this with him through his life, firmly loving the warmth of a beautiful day and relishing each passing of the days with joy. Smart for his age, though still as goofy as always.
It wasn't until the age of 7 that Taiyo's strength began to manifest. Abnormal by many standards, he was strong enough to accidently squeeze cups to hard and broke the door to their house once when running inside. What truly made Taiyo begin to suppress his true strength was when he wanted his mothers attention and tugged on her Kimono. His strength caught her off guard, sending her tumbling into the nearby table where she suffered a head injury and began to bleed from the back of the head. Upon seeing her injury, Taiyo's young mind reeled in agony at having hurt his beloved mother. From then on, Taiyo shackled his own abilities.
He refused to learn to defend himself as he didn't wish to inflict harm on another being, even if it cost him his life. Unfortunately this would prove a detriment later on, yet that is for later on. Taiyo spent his early childhood in peace, learning what his father and mother had to teach. So loathed to harm another being he couldn't hurt even a fish for food when told to go fishing for dinner. Instead the boy simply stared into the pond in wonder, watching their movements and seeing them go about their lives. When he returned empty handed, his father demanded to know why he did not come home with food. To which Taiyo replied "We have food here, and if I killed the fish to eat... then who would teach the younger fish. Should I kill the younger fish... who will grow up to replace the teachers?"
His fathers anger faded then as slowly embraced his son, and said he was proud of him. Taiyo was confused at first, and simply embraced his father warmly. This warm joyful moment would unfortunately be their last however, as that night a rogue shinigami with a Bakkōtō broke into their home. Taiyo's father had gained the position of lieutenant the day before, and the rogue shinigami had been passed over for it. The rogue killed Taiyo's father in cold blood before attempting to kill him and his mother. Yet he and her were saved by shinigami at just the right time. Taiyo could only cling to his mother as they watched the battle unfold and the rogue was struck down.
Yet even as the rogue lay dying, he wept tears of sorrow and in his dying breath, Taiyo took his hand. The Rogue apologized to Taiyo before his death and the boy could only forgive him. As the rogue perished, Taiyo wept for both his father and the rogue. So with his father dead and their home ruined, Taiyo along with his mother moved further into Rukongai to southern 37. There they made their home to start again. Taiyo spent the next 5 years in this district, where his mother worked herself to near death daily to keep them afloat. Taiyo did odd jobs here and there to help but it was a difficult life. Yet it was not all bad, as one day while he was watching the tadpoles of a pond a young girl approached only one year younger than him.
The two simply staring at each other for a moment before Taiyo smiled and gestured for her to sit with him. As they talked, Taiyo learned her name was Hyuki and she was bullied cuz she was quiet so the others thought she was weird. They became friends from that day forward, and the two grew close as the years passed. Hyuki was a very quiet girl, but she was diligent in her everyday life. Unlike Taiyo who liked to spend his days watching the sky or watching people as they walked about. He grew lazier as he got older, preferring to bask in sunlight and watch the world go by him. Yet Hyuki found could always find a way to stir him to do what needed doing with words of encouragement.
At the age of 15 the two formed a romantic relationship and at the age of 20 were wed. They saved money to move, and upon the year of getting enough money to move they learned Hyuki was pregnant. The two were overjoyed, but the pregnancy along with the moving was a hectic time but Taiyo was happier than he had ever been. His days in their house was filled with joy at the birth of their first son, the two of them working hard to secure their home for the future of their child. Taiyo became a general goods shop owner, where he was able to begin raising money. He worked tirelessly to bring wealth to his family.
The three of them becoming content with their little home as Taiyo made sure to fulfill any need his family could ever have. It was then that the family came upon the woman known as Toki, who they found in rough shape. Hyuki met the girl at the academy on their visit to Seireitei before introducing her to Taiyo. Hyuki was distraught that the girl was being pressured to quit by reasons beyond her control and the pair fought tooth and nail for her to remain in the academy. Paying for her fees to stay while giving her leave of absence due to health reasons, which fit due to the girl working herself to near death. Upon learning she had no where left to go, Hyuki and Taiyo collectively agreed to let her stay with them.
They welcomed her into their home where she was allowed to stay, but she took up residence as a servant to help pay for her stay despite their desires otherwise for her to simply rest. Though they were reluctant, it was agreed upon eventually and she became like an aunt to the family. She aided the children, played with them and kept them company. The children loved her as dearly as their own parents and so she became recognized as a family member. Hyuki and Toki spent many years getting close enough to be like sisters. So that day, Taiyo's family grew yet bigger as Toki became their aid in their times of need. But it was soon to grow bigger yet again in a few years.
At the age of 57, the huge family of Taiyo and Hyuki decided to go deeper into Rukongai to the forest so they could celebrate the birth of their youngest Chiaki. The ten of them settling into a small little home Taiyo had set up as a vacation spot. They left Toki in charge of their home so that they knew it was safe in their absence. There they would suffer their greatest lose, as in the night a terrifying scream broke the silence. Taiyo and his family were then assaulted by a hollow. Though Taiyo tried to protect his family, he was cast aside like a leaf in the wind compared to its monstrous strength. As he recovered, he was greeted with the sight of his wife cradling their youngest daughter in her arms to try to protect the daughter from the beast. Yet in that moment, both were pierced through the back and skewered.
Before Taiyo could charge the beast and most likely perish to it, Shinigami rushed to their aid. Taiyo was saved along with his seven children were saved that night. When the battle was over, Taiyo was scolded for taking his family to such a dangerous place without doing extensive research a head of time. Upon hearing this, Taiyo's mind reeled at the thought it was his fault. He begun to blame himself extensively, and his once bright personality shut away. For the next three months, Taiyo barely ate anything, hardly spoke and was a shell of a person. He would spend his nights weeping silently and loathing his existence.
But he was snapped from his grief by his family who encouraged him and scolded him for being selfish. They proclaimed he was grieving alone when they were all suffering. Much to his horror, Taiyo realized the folly of his actions before embracing his family where their collective cried soothed each other. Taiyo made a swift recovery after that, thought the guilt of his wife's death weighed on him heavy, the idea of abandoning his children or leaving them to suffer alone was even more unbearable. So Taiyo fought through it, putting on a bright smile despite the suffering in his heart. He made a decision then to follow in his father's footsteps and become a shinigami.
Loathed as he was to hurt another living thing, he found something he hated more and that was to lose his beloved family. So, in secret Taiyo trained his body though to hide such a thing from is children was always impossible. While he worked in the dead of night to strengthen his body for the academy, his children would sneak food to his side and cheer him on silently from their rooms. Even when he worked himself to near death and collapsed from exhaustion, he was nursed back to health by his children scolded him once more for working to hard. Knowing he was caught, Taiyo simply could do nothing but laugh, seeing his wife in each of them as they stared over each other with sulking faces over his sorry state.
With a vow to become a shinigami so that they would never want for anything, Taiyo promised them to become a great shinigami and they would become a greater family so safety was assured. His children simply cheered him on, agreeing with him and happy that he had a goal. From that day forward until present, Taiyo has worked tirelessly each day to better himself so that he could get into the shinigami academy. With the aid of Toki, Taiyo sets foot into the academy in hopes of growing stronger... and securing a future as bright as the sun for his children.
