Appearance
Aka is encased, from head to toe, in red-wood armor. The armor’s only opening is a rectangular slit, supposedly for his eyes. The joints have cloth connecting them, leavening no gaps in the armor. Aka stands just over seven feet tall, towering over most everyone else. He wears standard shinigami robes over his armor. He wears two zanpakutōs (neater of which originally belonged to him) on his right side and one is sheathed in black the other in white. A third zanpakutō is chained to his back that he will not use under any circumstances, but can not get rid of for the same reason.
Personality
Aka is different and he knows it. He gets rather defensive when someone asks him why he wears armor. He also refuses to be in the same room wile anyone eats, drinks, or has a fire. He is also envious of other shinigami, fullbringers, and quincy because they can enjoy simple pleasures like eating and drinking. Aka is surprisingly sympathetic to the plight of hollows, understanding their eternal pain and hunger. He is deathly afraid of fire, the mere site of it will nearly make him flee. On the balance he views himself as eternally in debt to the entire 12th squad, and will go to any length (including braving fire) to aid one of them. As a burn victim himself he is in near constant pain that has lessened to a background fact of life and is entirely sympathetic with other burn victims and will often volunteer at a burn word in is free time.
History
Sato Durth was born in 1079 in Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine empire. He lived for less than ten years before he was burned to death in a house fire. Durth was then reborn in Rukongai’s 23rd district to an average ‘family.’ His first years were about average for a kid in Rukongai, largely running wild and unsupervised. Durth quickly developed a fascination with shinigami and applied to the academy as soon as he could. However Durth failed the entrance exam time and time again. Durth tried every year for almost 200 years before finally, barely passing on his 197th try. Once in the academy Durth did no better, failing in most subjects except the ones that involved stealth. After spending six years at the academy Durth finally graduated at the bottom of his class.
Despite the fact that the was all but a washout he was quickly placed into 2nd division, were Durth began to do quite well. So well that within ten years of making it into 2nd division he was a seated member and leading an assassin squad. But he didn't stop, indeed with in a 100 years he had achieved a powerful fire based Ban-Kai and the rank of Lieutenant. The former almost-washout was considered one of the rising stars of Seretei, in line to become the next captain and with a bright future ahead of him.
Durth was sent on a 'milk run' mission, a simple and easy mission to track down a hollow that had been alluding the 7th divisions. All the signs pointed to it simply being a weak hollow with an unusual ability to hide it's self. Durth took his old team, officially standard as backup but actuality they were all going to celebrate Durth's eminent promotion to captain. The first night out went with out incident as they tracked the hollow through an uninhabited mountain chain. By the fifth day the group was beginning to get serious and had just settled down for the evening when the hollow they were tracking attacked, but it was no individual hollow it was three, and they weren't weak the were all Adjucha-class. In the insuring fight one of the Menos managed to turn Durth's Ban-Kai ageist the group killing all but Durth and leaving him burned beyond all recognition but alive. The only other objects that survived were a trio of zanpakutōs.
Almost a week after the battle, Seretei sent a squad out to find what happened to the missing group. All they found was unidentifiable burned, but surprisingly alive, body and three zanpakutōs. The 12th squad, working closely with the 4th squad, constructed a suite of special armor, designed to keep the unknown burn victim alive. They added a thin layer of deathstone because the victim showed a severe weakness to even the lightest of reiatsu pressures. Once in the suite however, the victim fused with it making the armor imposable to remove. Once the victim woke up, all involved were shocked to find that the shinigami inside had no memories at all. The 12th squad team that crafted the suite took it on themselves to nurse the shinigami, which they were now calling Aka, after the color of the wood that makes up the armor. One of the first challenges that he faced was learning to cope with his new body and the constant pain that he was in. Another early battle was figuring out who he was, because he had few memories of his own, and his original body encased in armor identification was imposable. The first time he held a zanpakutō after the accident he garbed the black and white ones and tried to attack the man who held the red one. He was, fortunately restrained from murdering him. He would not hold as zanpakutō again for another year, that incident going much more according to plan. Slowly Aka got accustomed to his new body and came to terms with his new existence. Finally after nearly 20 years they felt Aka was ready to be out on his own. Aka, after swearing himself forever in their debt, left and rejoined the 2nd division.
Combat
Strengths
Aka possess immense physical strength and a clever but scared mind. His armor makes him resistant to most attacks. The unusual construction of the armor leaves him all but undetectable to anyone using reiatsu. His style of fighting with two full size katana confuses or overwhelms most swordsmen. Due to the thin layer of deathstone in his armor, he is unaffected by reiatsu pressure.
Weaknesses
Aka is deathly afraid of fire due to a number of reasons, including the fact fire burns wood, like is armor, and his original injury (the one that put him in the armor) was massive burns. He also can not use Kudo or Hohō at all, as his armor blocks most of his reiatsu from leavening his armor. Due to the nature of armor, healing spells will not work on him in most cases. Any major breach of his armor in his torso will kill him because he is dependent on his armor to hold him together. The only place he can repair or replace the armor is a specially built room at the 12th division. The armor also dulls all of his senses save his eyesight. The thick mitt like gloves means that he has a hard time holding anything that is not the same shape as a sword handle.
