Keiji Daraku



Keiji Daraku (京滋一堕落 Daraku Keiji; Full name means, "A Corrupt King".) is the first and only artificial Shinigami to exist in the history of Seireitei, created by Soul Society's first inventors, the Daraku Family. He does not truly have Parents, but he considers himself a member of the Daraku Family, and the son of Kasuru Daraku, the scientist who had concieved the concept of Keiji and created him. His currently travelling companions are a group of Shinigami rogues who like himself, desire revenge on Soul Society and more specifically, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, for specific reasons of there own.

Appearance
When Keiji was first created, he was a chubby child with messy sand blond hair, and fair pale skin. He most usually seen in normal Shinigami robes, due to constant training and testing so he would become an elite weapon. At all times, he would wear his Zanpakuto in the form of a small dark dagger, hanging from his neck on an obsidian chain. His eyes were a piercing raven color, never betraying emotion in the endless orbs.

After his first transformation, his hair darkened into a fine black sheen that fell down, covering his forehead, with a few hairs spiking up on the back of his head. He would wear this form for several years as he caused chaos through the districts of Rukongai. As his face became more known, he dyed his hair into the sand blond that it had started as. Soon throughout the years of planning and training, no living soul knew the legend or story of Keiji Daraku, and the only one who continued to remember was the Head Captain.

He always wears extremely black clothes that never reflected any light, though it never keeps a definite style. On some days it would take the form of Shinigami robes, and on others it would take the form of a trench coat. A little known fact is that Keiji Daraku is nude on a daily basis, and his clothes are actually his Shikai form, allowing him to use it in battle more swiftly, while allowing him to change it's form into whatever he chose

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BRRRRUHHHHHHHHHHHH

Background
The date of his creation, or his birthday, was June 14th, five thousand years before the birth of Ichigo Kurosaki. He is over ten thousand years old, one of the oldest living being to exist, second only to Yamamoto and the Soul King himself. At this point in time, Soul Society had been nothing but an infant, just a large colony of men and women given basic training by Yamamoto, who was far from the man he was in the future. This is where the Daraku Family was formed.

They were the ultimate scientists, honing the new energy gifted to them and began manipulating it in impossible ways, soon forming the art of Kido. Eventually, the Family's power began to grow as soon, the foundations of everything Shinigami was created by them. But with such power, comes corruption. As they continued their growth, they devised a plan to take Soul Society as their own, and Kasuru Daraku was the one who had gotten the closest with Project Keiji (Which was named after an old legend in Soul Society where the Soul King had taken his reign of power by killing Infaking Keijimaru), where they planned to create the perfect Shinigami.

A being with limitless Reiatsu... Potential... And most of all, a Powerful connection with his Zanpakuto, allowing one to reach Shikai and Bankai at an amazing speed. The prototype was named Keiji Daraku. Every day he was put through intense training, easily being considered a natural born genius for those who didn't know his origin. Fifty years later though, when more and more of these super soldiers were beginning to be built, Keiji was all but cast away. He progressed at amazing speeds, trying to get the acknowledgement of his "family".

But little did he know that it would mean nothing. At this time, a leech in the family had revealed the plan to Yamamoto, and the Head Captain ordered for a genocide of the Daraku, to destroy them before they destroyed the now building Soul Society. As everything he had ever known was razed to the ground by the flames of Ryuujin Jakka, something snapped inside Keiji, beginning his descent into madness. The Dagger around his neck shifted and melted into his skin. His hair turned a raven black as he glared into the back of the Head Captain, and escaped into the night, revenge burning in his mind.
