Name: Akuma Shirogaki
Alias: None
Real Age: 1396
Phys. Age: 22
Gender: Male
Personality: Akuma is a man who loves and thrives in combat. He is always looking for a friendly brawl, spar, or some other form of physical confrontation. That being said, he is not a wild, savage animal, as he also knows how to enjoy the peaceful times and enjoys the company of his friends and companions within the Gotei 13. He is therefore, something of a party animal, as he enjoys drinking and throwing parties in his downtime. It is very rare to find him in a quiet setting, though he does note he enjoys them while training in private.

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180lbs, mostly muscle.
Physical Traits: Akuma's name is rather fitting, given his appearance. Akuma has short, spiky, dark red hair with several darker along with a pair of sharp, narrow golden eyes. Surprisingly, despite how much time he spends outside, Akuma has skin that is on the fairer side, something he notably dislikes, thinking having tanned skin would make him look cooler.

How his style of clothing, Akuma wears the standard Shinigami uniform, though his is probably one of worse looking ones, it is cut and torn all over the place. What repairs have been done, he's done himself with little care or skill, believing that each blemish on it shows the number of battles it has been through. Given this, he has been forced to buy new ones on occasion by his superiors. Otherwise, he cares not for accessorizing or personalizing his uniform.

General Fighting Style:  Akuma loves a good brawl and therefore forsakes the use of kido in favor of zanjutsu and unarmed combat. Despite this, he does not have an issue in using his zanpaktou's kido-like abilities, since they are, in his mind, a part of him and he should have no shame in using them. In combat, Akuma is very much like a berserker, attacking relentlessly and brutally, overpowering his opponents with shear strength and his zanpaktou's abilities. He typically has no problem taking blows and shrugs them off to keep on attacking.

Strengths: Strength and Durability
Weaknesses: Strategizing and Defense.
