Personality and Appearance
Personality:

Several tattoos with various symbols and meaning throughout his body. He’s got a larger build, standing taller than most Shinigami and also a bit wider. Is it his raw muscles or the beer belly from over-drinking? You’ll never know.
- Goals:
Basically to live a life with laughter and friends. He’s not a serious man at all. In fact, if he could he’d live his life in some small region of the Soul Society that was within walking distance of a bar but far away from the political nonsense that the Gotei seems to perpetuate. Good thing he’s often sent on missions into the world of the living where he may or may not enjoy visiting local breweries and distilleries.

Traits & Aspects:
Trait Name: Restorative Blood
Trait Description: Akihiro body naturally restores itself over time, more so than your typical Shinigami. While this is always present, if he focuses on his body and spiritual powers, he can speed up this process. This process does require that he constantly has high sugar levels in his body, typically in the form of alcohol. The more sugar there is to burn, the more drastic the healing can take place. This is based on a mix of his Endurance and Reiatsu stats.
Trait Name: Acidic Aura
Trait Description: Akihir’s reiatsu seems to naturally have a highly acidic property to it. This causes most abilities and skills utilized with his reiatsu, including basic kido spells, to have some added destruction. This acidic nature causes his abilities when in contact with defensive-based skills or abilities, to act slightly stronger than something of similar rank. Hollows will note that their Heiiro make excellent material for the acid to consume. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be too present when clashing with other offensive base skills. This does not inherently present itself in all of his abilities, it is something he has to focus on and actively place energy into for it to present itself. This is based on a mix of his Reiatsu stat.
Trait Name: Toxin Resistance
Trait Tied To: Endurance
Trait Description: Akihiro for whatever reason seems to be able to shrug off poisons, toxins, and other similar substances more easily than the next person. This is mainly due to the fact that he brews various versions of these and often consumes his own creations. This may not fully shrug off negative effects but can help him fight them off. If he’s able to take the time to actively concentrate on the toxin in his body he can expedite this process of expelling or neutralizing it much faster than normal. This is based on a mix of his Endurance and Reiatsu stats.
Combat
Fighting Styles
- Name: Drunken Brawl
- Description: A sloppy affair of a fighting style. It really just boils down to anything goes mentally. Akihrio is somewhat familiar with basic martial arts and other general fighting styles, often weaving them together in a stupor. While he does not have to be drunk, when he is it causes his movements to become even more unpredictable and potentially deadly.

Backstory
Miyake Akihiro hailed from a long line of skilled brewers, renowned for their exceptional sake. Growing up in a small village, he learned the art of brewing from his father, who instilled in him a deep appreciation for the delicate balance of flavors and the importance of patience. However, fate had a different path in store for him.
At the tender age of 20, Miyake Akihiro encountered a powerful Hollow, a malevolent spirit that devoured souls. Despite his training as a Shinigami, he found himself outmatched by the Hollow's strength and cunning. In a desperate attempt to protect his village, he engaged in a fierce battle, sustaining severe injuries that nearly cost him his life.
Miraculously, Miyake Akihiro survived the encounter, but the traumatic experience left him scarred both physically and emotionally. He developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), haunted by vivid nightmares and plagued by anxiety. The near-death experience had shattered his confidence, leaving him questioning his abilities as a Shinigami.
Determined to overcome his fears and regain his strength, Miyake Akihiro sought solace in his family's brewing traditions. He immersed himself in the art of sake-making, finding comfort in the meticulous process and the soothing aroma of fermenting rice. The repetitive nature of the craft helped calm his troubled mind, allowing him to gradually heal from his past trauma.
As the years passed, Miyake Akihiro's skills as a brewer flourished, earning him a reputation for creating sake that possessed a unique spiritual essence. His sake became known for its ability to temporarily enhance the spiritual powers of those who consumed it, making it a valuable asset for the Shinigami in their battles against Hollows.
Recognizing his newfound strength and the potential his sake held, Squad 8 welcomed Miyake Akihiro into their ranks. Despite his lingering PTSD, he became a valuable asset to the squad, using his brewing skills to create specialized sake that aided his comrades in their battles against the Hollows.
Now, as a 200-year-old Shinigami, Miyake Akihiro continues to serve Squad 8 with unwavering dedication. Though haunted by his past, he has found purpose in his role as a brewer, using his craft to protect the world from the malevolent forces that threaten its balance. With each batch of sake he creates, he not only honors his family's legacy but also finds solace in the knowledge that he has the power to make a difference in the lives of his fellow Shinigami.
