History
Asura was born in North Rukongai. Both of his parents were Shinigamis. Asura lived a pretty decent life until his father became a alcoholic, to the point were it was not controllable. His parents would constantly get into arguments. At some points it even became physical abuse. Asura would usually be in his room while this goes on. Sometimes the physical abuse done to his mother would even be done in front of him. Asura would always try to stop them, but he'd always gets tossed aside. At that point Asura became really fusterated, and wanted to give up. His mother understands how he feels, but she can not do much to avoid it. As the years passed Asura tried to deal with the constant arguing, and abuse. One day Asura walked in and that his father broke his mothers arm, and was about to do more. His father had the intent to kill her at that point. Asura was enraged, and screamed loudly. That moment, Asura had awaken his Zanpakutou. A immense burst of reiatsu could be felt by most people who were in the area at the time. Asuras Zanpakutou turned into its shikai state. Asura charged at his father and slashed at him. His father is unable to use his left arm due to Asuras shikai ability that allows striking ones 'soul'. That day Asura's mother had die. It was later founded out that she had died due to Asura's burst of reiatsu that came from his Zanpakutou. His Father left, leaving Asura by himself. Asura swore to never use his shikai unless he had no choice what so ever. He also blames his father for the death of his mother, and plans to confront him eventually.

Later on in the years, Asura had enrolled into the Shinigami Academy. There he progressed, and vowed to be a leader. At a young age he had noticeable talent, enough talent to surpass the students at his age level. He was also part of the executive militia. He trained, and trained. Eventually all of it payed off. He was taken in to the second division, and made Lieutenant. Outside of the Gotei 13, Asura lived by himself. After sometime Asura was promoted to second division captain. This was complelty unexpected, as Asura thought he was far incapable of taking on a captains role. He proved to be worthy, and capable of leadership. He was also offered the positions of Commander of the Onmitsukidō, Corp Commander of the Executive Militia which he gladly accepted.

As time flew by, Asura was one of the few Senior Captains. He was far above the average captains level. As being a Senior Captain, Asura rarely goes into combat. Even then, Asura still refuses to release his Shikai unless he has to.

Soul Society Invasion
The day began like any normal day. Asura was out on patrol in Karakura Town. Although he hated doing it, he did it cause all the other tasks were taken. Suspicion arose when him, and Akina noticed there were no hollows in one of the more populated areas. As they advanced, Asura felt a presence of something. He knew it was not a hollow, but he couldn't just make it out. There search ended up leading them into a warehouse. Asura entered the building, and saw a Arrancar like creature. and confronted it. When Asura had asked the Arrancar questions, he laughed, and stated something about Soul Society. Asura rushed to attack him, but the Arrancar managed to summon massive amounts of hollows who intercepted Asura. Asura headed back outside to check on Akina. Akina was worried on how they will get out from all these hollows. Asura took the front, and managed to introduce the hollows to his 'fear'. They exploded. After the defeat of the hollows, Asura, and Akina headed back to Soul Society.

As they made there way back to Soul Society, the place was in a war zone. Asura, and Akina headed to their barracks where Asura issued orders to the Onmitsukido. Akina headed out onto the field as well. Asura sat down on the front of his barracks, and observed. He noticed a Arrancar, but before he got up to go after it, it vanished, and the war was over. After the fixture of Soul Society, a captains meeting was held. Though, Asura was a bit late to it.

Zanpakuto
Tamashī No Kougo redirects here. See here Tamashī No Kougo

Tamashī No Kougou (魂皇后; Soul Empress): It it's sealed form, Tamashī No Kougo resembles a Katana in black. It is one of the few female Zanpaktous.


 * Shikai: Triggered by the release command, "Strike All Souls" (ストライクオールソウルズ, Sutoraikuōrusouruzu) When released a immense burst of reiatsu will flow in all directions, possibly causing fainting, or even death in some cases. The Katana emits a white glow, and then transforms into a longer katana known as the Masamune, in black. The length of the Masamune is 8FT.


 * Shikai Special Ability: In this form Asura can easily attack the 'soul' of one. Causing severe damage, and pain. In some cases the damage done to the soul can be permanent.
 * Soul Phase (Tamashī no fēzu): Asuras Masamune will begin to create a white glow. In this state, Asura can attack the soul. Soul Phase is able to stay on, and act as a passive until Asura decides to release it.
 * Cutting Soul (Tamashī o sessaku): Asura fires compressed reiatsu at the enemy. If Soul Phase is activated while Asura performs this, it is able to target the opponents soul. Note: Move is similar to Getsuga Tenshou
 * Bankai: Corruption of the Soul (魂の破損, Tamashī no hason) In this form Asuras Masamune diminishes. Leaving him with just hand to hand skills. Slight electricity can be seen around him. (Similar to when sayians go SSJ2)
 * Bankai Special Ability: As the Masamune diminishes, Asura relies on hand to hand combat. In this state Asuras speed, power, all five senses, and spiritual power increase dramatically. He is also able to attack the 'soul' of one still. This puts a lot of strain on Asura. Thus, he does not like to use it for long periods of time. Using his bankai combined with Shunkō is very lethal to him, and his opponents. The strain increase times two, but in return in grants tremendous power. It is very rare for Asura to use the this combination.
 * Soul Purge (Sourupāji): This move allows Asura to drive his own reiatsu directly into an opponent's body through a physical strike on them. This can cause strong direct and internal damage, it is even capable of damaging someone who is being protected by Bakudō.

 * Buramu Akuma - Asura has a decent relationship with Buramu. Although, he does get a bit annoyed at Buramu's strict behavior. Asura calls him no fun. In terms of battle, they are seen as equals, but Asura has never used his Bankai, considering it has only been seen once.
