Zanpakuto Info.: Vantestsu is a very old and uncommon Zanpakuto. It will only be weilded by a ture warrior because of it’s bloodlust. It was a perfect sword for the new Kenpachi, but accepted King as it’s wielder. Vantestsu has the ability to manipulate it's opponents shadows, making it a very dangerous Zanpakuto. King has never used his Bankai in battle yet, so few have actually seen Ki-Tau-Vantestsu.

Dream: Ki-Tau-Vantestsu creates an alternate dimension in which the two opponents will battle.
Abilities: King is a master of Flash Step. Skilled in Kido arts.
Extra Skills: Shadow Sweep- A combination of kickboxing and ju-jetsu King made himself. He combines his hand to hand combat with his spirit pressure to be able to harm his opponent by fighting their shadow. This fighting style was created to compliment his Vantestsu, by being able to use similar abilities without having to release his Zanpakuto. To his knowledge, King is the only one to be able to use such a fighting style.
Personality: King is very calm, and very loyal. He never questions those ranked higher than him, at least not out loud. He spends his time contemplating his existence and his reason for being a soul reaper. He is very gentle outside of battle, but when he is fighting, as long as he can stand he will continue to fight until he has defeated his opponent. Thus his nickname the Young Slayer.
Hobbies/ and likes: King enjoys cloud gazing when he can, and enjoys to spar with other members of his Division. He finds it a bonding experience when two Soul Reapers meet in combat, and both leave.
Personal Skills and Abilites: King is a well skilled Boxer and Kick-boxer from his time alive in the world of the living. He learned the styles from people he would work with in the coal mines. Since many different races worked in the mines, he had many opportunities to practice. They would hold fighting tournaments every weekend. King only won once.
Favorite Drink/Food: Kings favorite drink is plain orange juice, preferably fresh squeezed. He has always been a fan of Italian cuisine, and loves pasta. Wether it be spaghetti or lasagna he will eat it with great enthusiasm.
Hates: Cowards, and those who abandon their responsibilities. He finds them to be weak in character, and in need of enlightenment. Kings father taught him a saying to live by, "The weak run, and cowards hide. The brave and the strong will take their place, and they will live. Inspiring awe in the cowards that left."
Bio History: King was the second son to a factory worker. His father worked long hours to support King and his older brother. Unfortunately, his mother died shortly after giving birth to him. His youth was spent doing small jobs around his home. Cutting firewood, pulling rocks from farm ground, and favors for the neighbors. As he grew older his brother taught him to read and write, but King just wanted to help support his loved ones. King worked many jobs, such as laying down railroads, and mining. His father died of heart problems shortly after King turned 16. He lived happily with his brother, who went to school was working as a doctor. He spent almost no time courting any girls, except for one. He took a specific young girl out by the name of Emily almost every night. He deeply loved her and worked in a coal mine to save for a ring to purpose with. Unknown to him though she was promised to marry another man. This broke Kings heart, and drove him to work long hours like his father did when he was a child. He learned many things in the mines, and soon stopped living with his brother. He met his death prematurely in a mine collapse.
After he died and came to the Soul Society King lived alone in the Rukon district for a few years, scavenging and learning how to use his spirit energy. He learned minimal control, enough to cover his body with his spiritual pressure, and this he learned by accident. He had stolen from a fruit vendor and was being chased. The man started to insult him so he became angry, focusing his spiritual pressure around his body. He used this ability to help fight, and became his main battle technique. One day though, he accidentally stole from a student of the Soul Reaper Academy. The student challenged King to a hand to hand battle after seeing that King was unarmed. He accepted and beat the Soul Reaper after a long battle, and after receiving many scars along his torso. He enrolled in the Soul Reaper Academy soon after besting the Student, feeling that he could be a better Soul Reaper than the weakling ever could. He made a few close friends at the Academy, but spent most of his time in the library learning how to become a captain. He spent many long hours training, striving for perfection. His training had paid off. After he graduated he was appointed Captain of Squad 9.
