Uesari Bagu

Uesari Bagu ( ウェスリーバーグ )

Uesari is my OC based on the anime Bleach.

Appearance:
Uesari has red eyes and black hair streaked with the same shade of red. He is by no means brawny but has a wiry strength look about him. At almost any given time you will find him wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and he insists on wearing his tan or black jacket where ever he goes. Under his shirt, the center of his chest, where his heart should be, was a hollow that went completely through him, his hollow hole. Before his transformation into a half shinigami half hollow being, Uesari had kept his zanpakuto in an easily accessible forearm scabbard. Since his transformation however, he prefers to keep it hidden away, inside of his hollow hole, the blade stabbed into his body. Uesari also carries with him a plain katana, which he wears at his left hip, strapped to his body by a supple leather sash. He always carries with him a stack of strange green paper.

Personality:
Uesari has no definite personality, as such he is quick to change, much like the wind. At any given time you may see a completely different side of him. This is due to the nature of his zanpakuto. He is normally fun loving and quick to make a joke, but that could change in the blink of an eye to something less friendly. He is fiercely loyal to family and friends but he would not think twice about sacrificing the latter for the former, or even sacrificing the entirety of his adoptive family to save his wife and children. When he can find time he meditates somewhere in nature, but most often falls asleep during it. Before Uesari had gained the responsibility of parenthood he could drink sake with the best of them, but now he’s trying to quit.

Uesari is also quite the little actor, at any time he may exaggerate for the comedic value. He will also use this little ability to trip up his opponents with his sudden and contrasting changes.

==History: == Born into a family of merchants, Uesari was an only child, and as such he grew up fully expecting to take over the family business. Growing up neighbors to the family with the girl he would later fall in love with, Louise, even though it was through an arranged marriage. That did not stop him from becoming deeply in love however. One day he encountered a man named Keiji Daraku. Keiji was by no means a random stranger however, as Uesari would find out in later life. Through pleasant conversation and time, Keiji became more of a friend, pleasant and yet rather odd.

One morning, Keiji asked Uesari a rather simple question, seeing as he had seen him admiring the strength of several captains. He asked would Uesari like to train to be like those men he admired. Puzzled, but by no means willing to refuse such an offer, Uesari had said yes and as such, Keiji had started training him as a soul reaper, even before he was to attend Shino academy. Keiji's training and stricter rule made it easier for Uesari to gain key skills and as such, no longer require attending Shino at all. During this time, Louise had become pregnant and the couple were both ecstatic. But Keiji had a sinister side that no one knew about. He wanted to train Uesari harder and leave the soul society with his new apprentice. But Uesari wanted to stay because of Louise and his family.

So, during one training session, Keiji broke Uesari emotionally by chaining him to a wall and torturing to death the pregnant girl in front of him. Crippled by this and no longer able to feel anything, Uesari and Keiji left the Seireitei and traveled all over the Soul Society and the World of the Living for years, training the entire time. Keiji’s methods became increasingly more advanced and dangerous. As a direct result of this, Uesari had lost a portion of his memory; he forgot his family, parts of Louise, but not everything. His teacher Keiji was also intent to torture and train away Uesari’s emotions, and he succeeded. But during no part of this treatment did Uesari protest, for he was a broken man.

Not long after Uesari was reduced to a shell of a man, Keiji Daraku developed a technology, one that would allow him to enslave any he could catch. Uesari was his first volunteer, his first willing slave by this process. Keiji set a small green crystal to the back of Uesari’s neck and jabbed it in. The crystal disintegrated into millions of particles that invaded the mind and attached to the very nerves and neurons that control him. At the same time the crystal set his shoulder aflame, burning a white triple-slash tattoo into his skin. The slashes were the slave symbol, and the white showed that he had accepted the brand willingly.

And that is where our story begins, before Uesari came to the place known as Samayou Island. Before he met the woman that forever changed his life.

Samayou Island Arc
Our story begins with Uesari appearing on a remote island owned by a powerful shinigami named Seishin Samayou. This island was known to be a hot spot for spiritual activity, and so it naturally became a site for which Master Keiji took interest. So the slave was sent to scout out the island.

Recruitment
Under the orders of his master Keiji, Uesari went to Samayou Island. At first he was to observe and bled in with the inhabitence, which which there was an extremely wide variety. There were Shinigami, Vizards, Arrancars, and many different people from many different backgrounds that he could not name, all living together in peace. Keiji was pleased.

So Uesari was sent back to the Island after reporting to his master. His orders; Blend in with the inhabitence, gain their trust, become a friend. Now being the actor that he is, Uesari was able to fake the emotions he no longer felt, and was able to, in time, become a part of the society.

In the beginning, Uesari became rather a bum of the Island, sleeping in hammocks or trees, drinking whenever someone broke out the sake, which was daily, and getting into the random arguement or fight. As chance would have it, these were the traits that soon brought Uesari into a friendship with Ichigo Kurosaki.

During this time, unknown to Uesari, Keiji was watching through the slave brand on his shoulder, watching the people of Samayou Island. And while Uesari lived among the people, Keiji studied and analyized them in every way he could. After several weeks or inhabitence on the Island, Uesari sensed a reiatsu. His master was near. And after that day, a new slave joined the ranks of Keiji's army, Kenpachi Zaraki.

That's when it started. The Island caught wind of Keiji's plan. With the assistence of Kenpachi, Uesari and his master Keiji, set upon the Island people, claiming more slaves with the green cystals. The first to fall next was Lieutenant Renji Abarai. Then Chad, Ichigo's Fullbringer friend. And then finally Ichigo Kurosaki himself.

War
Keiji's plans were to kill or enslave the entire Island. His slaves desended on the close community with swords drawn. But the Island were too many, and Keiji's forces were pushed back, for now. Both sides had taken injury but no slave was killed.

Soon the Soul Society caught wind of the attacks on its people and sent forth two captains to deal with the problem, Head Captain Genryuusai Yamamoto and Captain of Squad 6 Byakuya Kuchiki.

The captains tracked Keiji and Uesari to a open field on the Island named the Battle Grounds. Head Captain Yamamoto immediatly challenged Uesari's master, and when they tried to leave, attacked the pair. Uesari, being the loyal slave he was, drew his zanpakuto and, on order of Keiji, attacked Captain Kuchiki while his master fought the Head Captain.

Uesari knew he had no real hope of defeating his opponent in a fair battle, so at the first oppertunity he saw, Uesari rendered the Captain unconscious before he could even release his shikai. Concerned for the safety of his master, he then rushed to his aid in battle with Yamamoto, which had then escalated to both combatents in their shikais.

When Keiji was flung away by Yamamoto's great strength, Uesari shunpo'd to his side. Taken completely by surprise by the Head Captain's amazing speed, Uesari had no time to react as the elderly man appeared behind him and struck his back with Ikkotosu. The power of blow sent the slave flying away, his internal organs ruptured and his bones cracked.

Uesari would have died after only a few mintues of internal bleeding had he not been saved by his Master, who transported him away to a parallel dangai world to heal. Keiji joined him later, having fled from the Head Captain's might. There the he revealed to the slave the sinister side of his Mark. Should Keiji die, all of his slaves' marks would kill them. And should anyone try to tamper with the Mark in any way, the slave would die.

Because of his loyalty and lack of emotion, Uesari was not shocked by this news, and felt no differently towards his master. He did, however, feel guilt, and disappointment in himself, for having failed to protect his master. Keiji then opened a portal to yet another Dangai dimention, where time flowed differently, and Uesari stepped into it and trained for a period of 15 more years. During that time he learned and trained his bankai.

Finding Friends Arc
Fifteen years for Uesari translated into a couple months for Samayou Island. When Uesari returned he fully expected to be attacked, or at the least shunned. But instead he was suprised to find himself welcomed back into the community, with the exception of one incident, but that was talked out of.

Katsumi Hayashi
During one of Samayou's famous parties, Uesari was drunk in his hammock, making a small nucience of himself by throwing his empty bottles without looking.

Then he met Katsumi Hayashi. On yet another trip to the sake stash Uesari bumped into the girl and she, thinking he was just a drunk, took away his sake and ran off. Later that night, while Uesari was starting to sober up by an unexpected dip in a icy pond, a stranger appeared and grabbed Katsumi. Uesari and a friend, Drust, saw this happen and confronted the man, who named himself to be James.

Uesari and Drust saved the pair when James then threw himself and Katsumi off of a clift. Both James and Katsumi were chained to a tree together, as a precaution, where it was revealed that James was a man from Katsumi's past who had killed her family. Katsumi was released from the chains and James was given a strong warning never to return again. James vanished and life went on.

Slowly over time Uesari and Katsumi became closer, often drinking together or fighting as you would expect a brother and sister to. And so that is what they became, adoptive siblings. They would prank eachother many times a day, usually with water, tickling, or dyeing hair.

Uesari felt strange... that he actually felt. Emotions he thought long dead had begun returning. He started to feel, ever so slightly, happiness, joy, excitement, and also anger, fury, dispair and guilt. The solid, logical man he always remembered being was slipping away. It was Katsumi, his sister, it had to be.

She was changing him.

A few weeks past and James did return, and Uesari killed him. But he did not stay dead. James appeared several more times, and each time he was killed in increasingly violent and powerful ways.

By now Uesari had come to regret his decision of becoming Keiji's slave, he viewed it as the worst punishment possible. He feared that at any time, he could be ordered to destroy all he loved. Keeping that in mind, Uesari made a damning decision. He snuck into his master's possessions and stole one of Keiji's crystals. When James next appeared to take Katsumi, Uesari jammed the crystal into his neck, forever cursing the man with servitude to his evil Master, and all in the name of his family's safety.

Sickened with himself, Uesari vanished for a time.

Kassadi Zguro
Kassadi (Kass) started as a drinking buddy and a receiver of many practical jokes and punishments. But soon that relationship began to change to a friendship.

At this point Uesari had begun to train a woman in the shinigami arts. This woman happened to be Kassadi's girlfriend and Katsumi's sister, Toru Hayashi. One day Kass asked to join the training and soon Uesari had two students and a good friend.

Drust Sciffer
Since the day Drust helped save Katsumi the first time, the two started to become friends. Drust was a demon, and not just that, but the King of Demons. Drust's powers were extraordiary.

Over time the friendship grew from just little things, drinking together, fighting side-by-side, sharing a joke, and just talking about the weather. Eventually Uesari came to trust Drust with his life and the protection of his adoptive family. And it was through this bond that Drust offered Uesari a deal, to accept the bonds of another master in order to escape the ones of Keiji.

Before Uesari could make his decision, however, Drust plunged a black cross into Uesari's heart, and the only way to save Uesari's life was for him to swear loyalty to The King of Demons and accept one of his own kind to be born in Uesari's soul. With failing breath Uesari made Drust swear him one thing, or he would no accept. He had the Demon King swear that he would never use the newborn demon to control him in any way unless it pertained to the safety of his loved ones.

The moment the Demon King's words of acceptence left his lips, Uesari uttered the oath that bound him to Drust, and freed him from Keiji.

Family, Death, and Love Arc
As time went on Uesari's developing emotions allowed him to get closer to others, eventually coming to think of others as his adoptive family.

Katsumi Hayashi eventually moved into Uesari's old house that he rediscovered, and became a kind of live-in housekeeper for him. She would cook and clean for him and he provided anything she could want or need.

Toru Hayashi, Katsumi's sister, had also come to be thought of as family, often visiting and staying over at Uesari's house.

Uesari became extremely protective over his two sisters. He would console them whenever they were sad, give his advice freely if he felt it was needed, and should conflict arise he would do anything in his power to stop it. He truely loved them both as sisters,

Keiji Returns
During Uesari's development into a normal person he had lost contact with his master. Keiji had disappeared. And... Uesari was okay with it. For the first time in his life, that he could remember, he had a family, he loved people, he was truely happy.

So he went on living his life, drinking, joking, and talking being with his new brothers and sisters.

And then Keiji attacked. After months of being gone, Keiji appeared before Uesari, and he wasnt happy. Before the younger onw could react, Keiji plunged his bare hand into his gut. Uesari fell back, bleeding and in pain, as then his former master pierced his skull with a byakurai. He then took Uesari's head in his hands and drained the body of his soul, into his own, as fuel.

Dead.

Henka's fun day out
Uesari was dead. Katsumi happened upon the scene moments later and begged Keiji to return Uesari's soul. She offered her life, her services, her body, but Keiji simply laughed and vanished.

Katsumi fell to her knees by the body, distraught. She cried and begged and pleed, but to no avail. Then the woman was struck with an idea, she had seen Uesari use bankai, seen the dual souls within his body during bankai. So, in a despereate last act, Katsumi picked up Uesari's zanpakuto and plunged it into his lifeless body. For several long, agonizing moments nothing happened, and then there was a flash of light, and the blade was gone.

Uesari's body sat up quickly, though no heart beat in his chest. The body then identified himself as Henka no Honshitsu, Uesari's zanpakuto. Then, quick as a flash, the corpse was up and away, after Keiji.

The zanpakuto in his partner's body tracked Keiji back to the Island. There Henka immediately engaged Keiji in combat, fighting with only his hands and feet, because he had no weapon.

It was during this fight that Henka revealed two new abilities, previously unknown to even Uesari. Keiji attempted to drain Henka like he had Uesari, but it didnt work. Henka had changed his reiatsu to be the exact opposite of Keiji's, therefore they both repeled each other.

And then Henka did something quite amazing. Henka went to Ichigo Kurosaki, stole his zanpakuto, and changed his reiatsu once again. This time, to match Ichigo's reiatsu exactly. To everyone's amazment the zanpakuto responded, zangetsu transformed into its bankai under Henka's command. The battle insued again with Keiji escaping in the end and sending Kenpachi to deal with Henka.

Henka quickly detached himself from the confict because it was Keiji who was his target. Several days past with nothing being gained. The zanpakuto was dispairing, he didn't have long left, if he could not touch the reiatsu of his partner, he would die.

When he was about to give up hope, Sosuke Aizen appeared and, using the Hogyoku, retrieved Uesari's soul and gave it back.

Life
After Uesari was brought back from the dead he secluded himself in his home with his sister Katsumi. He feared being found by his master and killed once again. But he has to leave some time.

On one of his trips out, Uesari learned of the peril of one of his newer friends. He was killing hollows in the Menos Forest to pass the time with training, when three members of Samayou Island suddenly fell from the sky. They told him that the woman Erica Sugyiyama Kuchiki was sent to the Forest by an Adjuchas for its own amusement.

Erica had already killed the hollow and was certainly running scared, four days run ahead of them. So the group set out in chase, moving at extremely fast speeds.

Erica was found by someone new, however. A vizard known as Izuru Takuda. He took Erica in and soon met the group that followed her. Uesari was forced to call on his hollow mask to get enough energy to heal Erica. He then proceeded to pass out.

Love
Life went on yet again. Uesari found and lost love. Katsumi was always there for him though. Always trying to cheer the down man up with jokes, his favorite foods and even sake.

Naturally living so close together afforded the pair many awkward situations, but that seemed to only strengthen their sibling bond. Katsumi was his sister in every way to Uesari, a sister in his heart.

Which was why it came as such a surprise when one day Katsumi kissed him. When she asked him next if he loved her. Uesari did not want to lie those, and answered 'no'. Katsumi wasn't a normal human, she had powers over the mind. She was crushed at his answer and quickly wiped Uesari's mind of the event.

So they lived on the same for some time, and Uesari would continue to make mistakes that turned into more akward situations, made more so by Katsumi's hidden feelings. Some weeks later Katsumi brooched the subject once again, and kissed Uesari. His answer was still the same. But before Katsumi could wipe his mind, Uesari stopped her and made her promise never to do it again.

They both lived with his declaration between them, and slowly Uesari began to think of Katsumi as less and less of sister, and more of... something else.

Then one night Uesari was feeling particularily playful. Uesari and Katsumi had slept in the same bed before, just slept, but not after their kiss. Uesari pestered and harassed Katsumi until she agreed to sleep with him like old times. Uesari cuddled closer to her and one thing lead to another. Uesari admitted he might feel something and they made love.

From that one evening, Katsumi became pregnant. And while their relationship became tried, to say the least, it did prevail. And soon after she gave birth to two healthy, raven haired childred, named Hoshiko and Misaki (after his late uncle on Katsumi's side) Bagu, the couple wed.

Teino Arc:
Life was good for Uesari, he had the family he always dreamed for, and a group of friends he would do anything to protect. But there was always one thing that troubled Uesari; Keiji. Uesari hadn't heard a single word of his former master in a long while, and that troubled him. He knew Keiji was out there, and he knew he should protect his family, but he also felt obligated to both the Soul Society and the World of the Living.

The breaking:
So, one night, Uesari slipped out of bed and went to visit a very... widely know man. Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Mayuri was the Captain of Squad 12 in the Soul Society, as well as the Captain of Research and Development. And it was to this man that Uesari bent his knee, bowed his head, and handed over his zanpakuto to.

Henka no Honshitsu is a very unique zanpakuto, given its nature of Change, the zanpakuto is able to change who owns it. So, with much thought, consideration, and debate with both himself and his zanpakuto, Uesari gave his ownership of the weapon to the one man he believed could use it to stop Keiji, should he reappear.

Broken, and feeling more alone than ever before, Uesari returned home as a soul reaper for the last time.

Awakening:
Uesari returned, half of a man, at least in his own eyes. No longer did he have the power to combat Keiji, no longer could he defend his family, and all for the good of the worlds.

Oh course Katsumi sensed something was wrong, of course the others noticed the absence of the weapon that normally rested inside his forearm scabbard.

Uesari was a broken soul reaper, no longer able to wear that label anymore. What kind of self respecting Shinigami gives up his sword?..

He had literally become half a soul...

Uesari remained home at all times, wanting to be there when Keiji attacked, wanting to do everything he could to fight his former master, to save his wife and children, even give his life to do so.

One day Uesari was sitting at home with his children while Katsumi took a shower. A man by the name Walter Beck stole into the house, invisible, and spied on Katsumi. Beck had become a familiar face over the months, and so it was a shock when Katsumi bumped into invisible him. Uesari then proceded to try to kill him, but since his powers where cut in half, he was easily over-powered by his wife.

Katsumi, instantly trusting and forgiving Beck, bound Uesari and held him with her will as he trashed and exhausted himself. Uesari then came to the realization that Katsumi must have known Beck was there all along. So he demanded she release him and they both leave. But his wife only let him go and tried to reason with the scorned man. The arguments and threats between the three escalated again until Uesari locked himself in his bedroom with the threat that if either of them were to enter then the marriage was over.

And so Uesari laid in the dark, dwelling on his thoughts. All the while his reiatsu changed inside him. Drust, showing up a little while later, sensed the change and warned everyone to leave quickly. Inside the bedroom Uesari's reiatsu became darker and darker, and his mask formed unbid on his face. He knew too, and he didn't care. Uesari let his inner hollow take over his body, and feed on his still very new emotions.

And so Teino was born, starting a monster. The hollow controlled Soul Reaper began attacking everything in sight, first the bed and shower, which reminded him most of Katsumi. Then when the woman knocked on the door, wondering if he was alright, Uesari blasted it with a cero.

Fighting ensued between Uesari, Katsumi, Drust, and Beck; three against one. But Uesari had become a hollow driven by the emotions of a near-mad-man. Every strike they sent against him almost instantly regenerated with the hollowfication. Neither side could gain the advantage in power or words, as Katsumi continued to pled for her husband back.

Sensing he could not win, the hollow ripped open a garganta and fled into the Menos Forest, where he proceeded to feast on the weaker hollows. Each scrap of flesh only increasing the power of the hollow, making its hold stronger on the man that didn't even want to come back.

An entire night of feasting on the hides of hollows came and went before Katsumi found him again. The blood on the face, teeth, and chest of her husband repulsed her, but she stayed. The hollow paid the woman no mind as it freely ate in front of her, more feral than anything else, the hollow's instincts were in force.

Katsumi sat away from the hollow, talking to him softly, trying to get through to her husband. She begged, she pleded, she bargined and wept. Nothing worked as the hollow continued to strengthen.

At last Katsumi had an idea, in a flash she returned home and brought back with her a child, Hoshiko, Uesari's daughter. After yet more pleding, Katsumi finally started yelling at her husband, cursed his name, his life, and his stupidity.

Enraged, the hollow attacked the woman and child. By chance Katsumi struck a blow in its mask. Dark reiatsu poured from the crack and then, in agony, Uesari reached and tore the mask from his face, releasing the hold the hollow held. And then he laid there, broken and defeated, and threw up all the hollow flesh he could and cried.

Sleeping:
Things seemed to return to normal. The house was repair, and so was the marriage. But Uesari could always feel the hollow inside him, could feel its power. Consumption of hollow flesh was a sin among soul reapers, and he felt sick.

Since the loss of his zanpakuto, Uesari began to carry a regular blade, a katana gifted to him by a family friend at his wedding. It would never be a match for a zanpakuto, but it eased his mind ever so slightly to have a weapon nearby.

Uesari continued life in this fashion, always on the look out, always fearful, and always feeling powerless. Then one day, during another argument with his wife, the hollow took control again. Katsumi had just taken the kids and left, the emotional termoil sent Uesari into a great depression. There had been a few instances before when the hollow emerged but was halted, but now he was learning, getting smarter, the hollow fed on the emotion. The hollow simply took control and opened a garganta back into the Menos Forest and feasted yet again.

Control:
The hollow soon grew in intellience enough to speak, and gave himself the name Teino. A few days after his escape, Teino went to Samayou Island. With his mask on, no one knew who's face laid beneath. It did not take long for the inhabitants to notice Teino. When he appeared in his garganta, the hollow immediately set upon and tried to eat the nearest form of spiritual energy, a soul reaper. Everyone attacked, and Teino fought back, and then shocked everyone as he removed his mask to reveal the face of one they knew and trusted, Uesari's.

Teino knew they wouldn't kill him, because they would also be killing Uesari, and he used it to his advantage, attacking and eating a few inhabitants with the threat that if they hurt him, Uesari would hurt more. Everyone, including Katsumi once again, fought to get Uesari back. They tried pleding with Teino, and then tried speaking dirrectly to Uesari through the hollow. Teino openly challenged them to try all they like, saying Uesari wanted Teino to stay in control.

Teino became a manipulator of people, able to reduce Uesari's strongest friend, Yoruichi, to tear with just words. He twisted people's fears and joys, turning them to his own advantage. He openly denounced the marrage of Uesari and Katsumi, even though it was still his body. Teino flung the ring aside and courted many women of the Island, even directly in front of Katsumi, who still believed the marriage strong. Many infidelities occured in the months Teino was free.

Teino ran amuck. He ate hollows in front of the Islanders, he attacked and fought daily with those who tried to speak to Uesari, and he continued to grow in strength. Uesari, all the while, stayed deep in his depression, many times the Demon planted inside his soul visited and tried to help Uesari. the demon was female and her name ment Silver Blood. But Uesari only viewed the creature as a symbol of enslavement, and cursed her out until she left him alone. Another time when she tried to speak to Uesari her purpose was to start a fire under him, get him passionate about something again. She yelled and hit him to get his attention, then insulted every part of his being she could. This only served to make Uesari hate her more and sink deeper into depression. Teino, obsurving that event, desided to teach the demon her place. He pinned her to a conjured bed, stabbed a sword through her to hold her in place, and raped the demon. She never tried to help again.

Later on, while Teino was fighting Drust, his wife Bara, and Katsumi; Uesari's wife pushed her mind into the shared one of Teino, the demon, and Uesari, and searched for her husband. During the fight outside Teino lost an arm, and inside his mind, Uesari's projection did too. But only Uesari felt the pain. Katsumi found him writhing on the floor of his mindscape in pain. Even then Uesari remained silent to Katsumi's voice and touch. She soon returned to her body, told everyone to stop attacking Teino, and healed the arm back.

Teino continued life as normal, fighting, threatening Uesari's body and mind, seducing, and playing mind games. Once he attempted to rape Katsumi, but was stopped by Drust.

There was one person Teino found to be a particularily savory snack, Erica Sugiyama Graham. Like everyone else at the Island, Teino was convinced she was just a human who held a high level of spirit energy. Such high reiatsu was a empting treat for hollows such as Teino, so at every oppertunity, Teino tried to kill her. The first time the hollow attempted to seduce the girl while in Uesari's gigai so she could see him, failing that he attacked and was fought off by the Islanders.

Teino tried a few more times, and the battles were fought invisible to Erica. Until one day when Teino kidnapped the girl and brought her to the Menos Forest. There he let her go and played a game of cat and mouse. She would exhaust herself and stop for a breath and Teino would come in and cut her until she moved again. She slowly bleed out and soon stopped for the last time.

Teino closed in for the kill and his meal when suddenly he was interrupted once again by the Islanders, but not before his zanpakuto took off the head of the girl. Teino disappeared once again.

Teino, drawing on Uesari's skills as an actor and his own sadistic nature, went to the Island once again, pretending to be Uesari. Since they shared a body the appearence was the same, and it was easy for Teino to change his voice and eyes to become a perfect copy. For the brief time the ruse lasted, Teino slept with Uesari's wife Katsumi, and so fathered a set of triplets with Uesari's body.

Uesari slowly came around as time passed. Erica, who turned out not to be human but a soul trapped in a gigai, had advanced to the place of Lieutenant in Captain Mayuri's Squad. Uesari wanted back out, wanted to stop Teino and take back his body, but he kept his true feelings hidden from the hollow. And so he waited, and watched as the hollow controling his body did unspeakable things. And he waited.

He waited months, until when Teino gifted Uesari with one of very few periods of freedom. Teino would give the body over to Uesari, completely confident in his abilities to take back control, which he could, at any time. Teino simply sat back and watched through the soul reaper's eyes.

Uesari sat in the sand of the Island and waited some more, and prepared. Until Erica came to visit him herself he waited. And then, without looking, Uesari casted a complex kido spell and yelled out with his mind to all in range "GET MY ZANPAKUTO!"

And so Erica left and braved the traps her Captain had set around his newest prize. She returned later, burned but otherwise fine, with the object Uesari desired, his long lost friend and ally, Henka no Honshitsu.

Wasting no time, Uesari drew the blade and plunged it into himself, calling for aid. The zanpakuto vanished and Henka appeared in Uesari and Teino's shared mind. Together the pair, Shinigami and Zanpakuto, fought the Inner Hollow. Outside Uesari's body remained completely still in the sand, and every wound inflicted on either of inner projections appeared on the outer body.

After much fighting and battles of will Uesari emerged the victor, and regained control of his body. It took a little time, but the Islanders again grew to trust Uesari, though they always feared his hollow's return.

Percecution and Encampment Arc:
Teino did return, infrequently and always with someone ending up hurt. Uesari and Henka did their best to contain the hollow, but he was crafty and always wanted out.

Katsumi gave birth to three healthy children, two girls and a boy, Lily, Sakura, and Tamaki. They loved them unconditionally, even if they were fathered by the hollow, they were still Uesari's kids, and the children of his heart. The household of 7 was exponentially stressful, but the couple stayed true to their love and lived happy.

But then unrest stirred among the Islanders and the Soul Society. Word had leeked out about a Vizard having been discovered amoung the ranks of a squad, Squad 12. Uesari's friend, Erica Kuchiki, had been imprisioned for the crime of being a hollow. Uesari was enraged, but more than that, he felt guilty. He, or more correctly Teino, was the cause of this, he had infected Erica with an inner hollow when she fled from Teino in the Menos Forest and "died", only to prove she was infact a Soul Reaper in a gigai all along.

On the Island Uesari gathered together the people and publically protected the crimes against his people. But it was not enough, he had to act. So, drawing on the intelegence from his stay as Keiji's slave, Uesari secretly entered the Soul Society, slipped inside the maximum security prison with one occupant, and broke Erica out. It was a narrow escape, but they made it back to the Island.

And then all hell broke loose. Central 46, the ruling body of the Soul Society, issued an order for all Vizards to be apprehended and contained. The Soul Reapers really fear more than they let on, and the Vizards' strange powers and outstanding strength was on that list.

The first to fall to the Captains were Love and Rose, they fought seperately, yet Rose was able to fell a Captain before the other could capture him. Love was aprehended by Captain Kumamura. Erica surrendered when confronted by Captain Hitsugaya.

==Powers and Abilities: ==

 Hakuda (hand to hand) Expert:  During his time with Keiji this area fast became a favorite in his studies, and after his enslavement ended Uesari befriended the famed Yoruichi Shihoin and received further instruction in the art. His blows are mostly about quick damage and speed, lacking slightly in strength.

 Swordsmanship Specialist:  He prefers not to fight sword to sword against opponents but if he must he can hold his own. Due to the nature of his zanpakuto, Uesari’s fighting techniques change on the fly along with his weapon, allowing him to adjust to his opponent with time and catch him/her off guard with many of his attacks.

Kido Master: Being his most preferred method of fighting, Uesari boasts a high level of knowledge in this art. He often uses Kido in unexpected ways or to augment other abilities. He is particularly fond of barriers and bakudos, using them to escape high damage and to control his opponent.

 Shunpo (Flashstep) Expert:  Where he may not be able to keep up with Captain level shinigami, Uesari can certainly give them a little chase. In his Bankai however, Uesari is easily capable of out-shunpoing even the likes of Yoruichi, if only for a short time.

High Spirit Pressure: Uesari prefers to keep his reiatsu suppressed and controlled at all times, but if enraged or if it is needed, he could near a captain’s level unaided by his inner hollow.

 Enhanced Durability:  Due to the torturous training of Keiji Daraku Uesari has gained a high threshold for pain and injury, able to continue a fight with broken ribs and fractures almost as easily as if they weren’t there.

Enhanced Strength: Uesari uses his fast speed to increase the strength of his blows.

 Keen Intellect:  Despite being thoughtless, forgetful, and sometimes stupid acting, Uesari actually has strong head for logical reasoning and knowledge. Whereas he is not as knowledge smart as Mayuri, Uesari can think his way out of most any situation. He also has some degree of medical knowledge that comes and goes to him because of his failed memory.

 Shunko Practitioner:  Uesari’s Shunko is incomplete. He is unskilled in any of the arts related to Shunko and it serves as only a reiatsu and power boost.

 Seeing Passive Reiatsu:  From Uesari’s tight control on his own reiatsu, he is able to see the reiatsu of others that naturally bleeds from the body.

 Body Language Expert:  Because of the years Uesari spent without emotion, he became to understand them a lot better, using this knowledge he can spot lies by facile expression and predict attacks from a person’s body language.

Zanpakuto:
Henka no Honshitsu (変化の本質, The Essence of Change) In its sealed form, the zanpakuto resembles the ordinary Katana except for the gaurd.
 * Shikai: Henka no Honshitsu's release command is Flicker (フリッカー, Furikkā). The zanpakuto in shikai has no diffinite shape.
 * Shikai Special Abilities: The weapon is Change, and its shikai state represents that. The zanpakuto may, at any time, instantly change into any weapon used in typical melee based combat. These weapons may also be modifided at will. For example, the zanpakuto is in sword form, the wielder may then change the blade by willing serrations into existence instead of the cutting edge, or Uesari could will the blade to dull, or even grow barbs.
 * Change: Henka can facilitate and initiate Change. Meaning it can freely change many things it touches, including people. This requires a great deal of concentration and the merest distraction could spell disaster. The wielder must have a clear picture of what exactly he/she is changing and what they want it to change to.

 * Bankai: Watashinoni Henka no Honshitsu (変更の私に、本質, Into me, The Essence of Change). Uesari takes his zanpakuto, whether the whole weapon of a piece, and plunges the weapon into his body, usually his gut. After a small flash of light from the weapon, he is seen looking no different, the weapon gone and the wound he gave himself nonexistent.
 * Bankai Special Abilities: Uesari's weapon becomes his own body. Upon entering his bankai state, Uesari is granted a tremendous amount of speed and strength. As a price, Uesari's reiatsu is drained at a fast rate. Once his reiatsu lowers to a point he will start to feel the pain of Rejection, his zanpakuto trying to force itself out of bankai. The pain will increase in proportion to the decrease in his reiatsu. If he were to stay in bankai too long he would lose consciousness or possibly die.
 * Reiatsu Change: While in bankai, Uesari is also granted a higher level of control over his own reiatsu, allowing him to maximize his efficiency in that area. He also gains the ability to change his own reiatsu to match that of any other he has encountered before. If Uesari is intimately familiar with a person's reiatsu he can emit a counter, opposite in every way to that person's. The opposing forces then repel eachother.

 Cero : Uesari can use the hollow cero without his mask, but at a reduced strength. With his mask the cero can become full strength. In part to his zanpakuto’s nature of change, Uesari’s ceros can be any color, or even absolutely clear, visible as only a ripple of air

 Hierro : Uesari’s heirro is a constant presence due to the power of his inner hollow. For Uesari it can never get stronger than what it always is, but Teino’s, when wearing the mask, heirro is twice as strong.
