History:Alastair Knightfield was born November 25, into the soul society by the leader of the Knightfield clan ( A clan previously high on the nobility.)and a maid. His father was dethroned for these uncivil actions shortly after his birth both of his parents where killed. No one ever discovered who killed them and why although the death of his father resulted in the clans disbandment. He was adopted by the 3rd seat of the 6th squad at the time. He name was Hitori Knightfield one of his fathers most trusted advisors. His childhood was very interesting. He grew up around powerful shinigami. Although his adoptive father and the rest of his family were soul reapers. Alastair didn’t want to become one. He wanted to be the soul societies greatest psychologist. A man who could listens to others problem's, break them down in his head, and solve them. So that’s what he did. He studied psychology in the human world but also took classes in the soul society. He was well on his way to achieving his goal until he met her...
A beautiful young girl with short silky black hair, sandy brown hypnotizing eyes, soft caramel skin, and a smile so bright it could illuminate any room. One day Alastair finally managed to gather the courage to talk to her. He found out her name quickly and he loved the way it rolled off her tongue, “Hi my name is Lilynette Amagi.” After that day they had quickly became best friends. It was then that Alastair found that she disliked everything he inspired to be. He knew telling her would be disastrous and a mistakes. He didn't want to risk any chances he had at finding love or even their inseparable friendship, so he told himself to keep it a secret.
Soon after he would discover that she held a strong hate for people who are not shinigmai that lived in the Seireitei. It was then he knew he had some work to do. He finally began practicing shinigami arts. He relied on his adoptive father to teach him how to expertly use swords. He would then began learning the basics, from sword styles to noob Kido. Upon grasping the basics he was taught further, now learning intermediate hand to hand combat and reiatsu control. It was then that he asked Lilynette to go on one of her patrols trips. Little did they know this patrol would be their last together.
He used the limited knowledge he had to take down simple hollows. While fighting a low class hollow a higher class managed to slip pass Lilynette to take down Alastair. He managed to block its attack and back up. He unlocked his full potential at the time by taping into his rieatsu and raising his spiritual pressure dramatically. Alastair focused the rieatsu into a single sword slash destroying the hollow. He then collapsed on one knee as Lilynette finished her hollow and ran to help Alastair.
When she reached him she laughed, “Are you ok Allar?” He smiled himself as she was helping him back to his feet. Upon regaining his composer and his footing he would answer her quest with a sly grin, “Im fine now, lets get going.” He continued walking forward heading into the forest clearing turning his back away from the clearings entrance and towards the stationary Lilynette, "Come on slow poke and I am the tired one?" He would laugh quiet loudly before taking notice of her actions. She wasn't just standing she was taking a defensive position with her blade raised to chest level. Suddenly her eyes would gaze in his direction filling with unforgettable emotion... Pure Fear... Her face matched her gaze evenly a she stumbled over herself attempting to tell Alastair something. Finally she managed get it out in loud scream and what she said by far was nothing of what Alastair expected, "ALASTAIR WATCH OUT!.” He turned around but it was to late.
He managed to see the out line of a huge Hollow. About ten feet tall and green with three long claw like nails on each hand. The beast screeched and raised his arms for an attack. Alastair tired to block it but the beast slammed him into a tree sending him to flying into several others a few feet away. That attack left him with three broken ribs and a twisted ankle. He screamed and pain as he searched for his sword. He attempted to stand up but the Hollow was standing right over him once again ready to administer the killing blow.
He still scanning the area for his sword. When he found it noticed it was flung across the clearing on the opposite side. He found himself helpless as the Hollow once again sung at him. He braced for the hit but Lilynette managed to block it with her own weapon struggling, “Get out of here now Alastair!!!" He wasn't going to leave her so he would use this opportunity to get his blade. He hopped to it quickly and prepared a attack. He noticed the Lilynette wouldn’t last much longer. He would leap high into the air spinning to attempting to spin slash the Hollow and that’s exactly what he did. He slashed as hard as he could at the hollows right arm chopping it off. But this caused the fiends attention revert back to Alastair.
The worst part was that Alastair’s back was turned towards the Hollow. The beast screeched and lunged his three claws at Alastair’s back. As it connected it only managed to make three long gashes across his back before Lilynette pushed him out the way taking the rest of the attack to her own body. This resulted in the hand piercing her body destroying multiple organs causing interal shutdowns. Blood spilled from her mouth followed by the life instantly disappearing from her face, “LILYNETTE!!” He struggled to recover from the push and his prior injuries. Although his body would quit, filling with rage he would leap one last time administering a clean cut to the Hollows neck slicing it from the pushed he lunged forward jumped into the air and cut the hollows head clean off it’s shoulders.
As he fell back onto the ground he landed on the twisted ankle which caused him to fall forward unto on the ground. He started to crawl to Lilynette who was quickly bleeding out, “I’m… so sorry. I….. I… Love you!.” He continued to crawl to her as tears fell from his eyes. He started to tell her everything , to how he lied to how he felt when he first met her. As he finished speaking he reached her and she weakly placed her hand on his cheek and told him, “I know I knew for a long time now and I lo….” she had passed away right there in his arms…..
Her death was a very hard thing for Alastair to go threw. He grades in school dropped and he begin getting involved with the wrong people. It was not until his father knocked some sense into him by telling him this is not what Lilynette would want and how she would live.. It was then he vowed to become a full fledge shinigami in her memory but also continue towards his dreams. He begged his father to continue teaching him everything he knew. The father taught him very well and he even learned how to incorporated his psychology into tactic to anger his opponents. Suddenly one night he father caught a strange disease that sadly took his life a month later.. He decided to take his lessons even further and enroll into the Shin'o Academy.
While in the academy he honed his skills further and became a master in kido. He excelled far beyond his classmates in swordsmanship. Throughout his studies he kept seeing a strange man that has the appearance of a twenty five year demoninc cult werido, who dark purple and navy blue cloak which sorcerers wore, medium length blue spiky hair and a weird red tattoo or scar that started from his forehead down to his neck. His clothes consist of black slacks and long sleeve gray button up shirt with a black tie and buttons with creepy magician hand gloves. His shirt would be tucked into his pants which are being held up by a belt made of chain and a metal skull head. He kept trying to tell Alastair something but the words where mute and his lips where unreadable.
Everyday the man would appear repeating the same thing but the more he trained the more he understood what the man was trying to say. The most he could decipher was, “M* **m* is H**di**." It was not until that fateful day when he heard the full sentence of what the man was trying to tell him. The was a group of hollows causing a disturbance in the human world so Alastair and two of his squad members where dispatched to handle to handle it. When they arrived that discovered the hollows were stronger then expected. They managed to take down his two teammates.
He found himself being surround by the hollows. He knew he wouldn’t last long because he was already exhausted from there first clash. He was ready to except death . He then close his eyes as the hollows lunged forward. He found it strange when he didn’t feel or hear anything. When he opened his eyes he found himself in a comedy club one of which he had visited in the world of the living. It was a giant room full with bar tables and tall stools decorate with various beautiful dinnerware and origami. Red smooth silk elegantly laid all across the room leading to a thick shimmering curtain which covered a stage were the actors of the club preformed. The most beautiful part was the chandelier that hung above his head. It illuminated the whole room with a rainbow aura feeling Alastair and anyone lucky to visit with life.
When he turned to observe the room he stood in amazement as the curtain began to open revealing the creepy man who began to tell him everything. This man was the spirit of his sword and this was Alastair inner psyche. He told him that when they first met Alastair could not hear him because he wasn't strong enough yet.. Now was the time to learn exactly what the man desperately attempted to tell him. The man lowered his hood and began to speak, “My name is…” It was then Alastair found himself back in the world of the living with hollows still lunging at him.
At the same time the memory of his zanpakuto saying his name was released at the same time the thought flew through his head, “HOUDINI!” At those words the sword changed drastically. From its normal sealed form the blade changes drastically. The orb on the hilt grows drastically being as large as Alastair's skull being supported by a golden spiral pattern which acts a as support but keeps it from moving as well. The hilt completely takes over the blade and becomes a thick seven foot black staff with golden borders and a purplish hue. Inside the orb is the same rainbow aura which illuminated his inner world but also deep within the center a sheet then steel cut out of a skull can seen shrouded in a rainbow aura.
With this newly evolved weapon he would take down the hollows, gather his teammates and headed home. Since then he has been honing his skill further tapping into his Shikai’s full power. He learned that the staff is meant for magic type attacks but also has an assault mode which has the ability to use illusions. And his spirit has taught him a few of his techniques known as Dark Magician Blast, Shooting Star Comets', and Decapitation Dance. Every since then he has been focusing on his psychology degree and honing his skills to become a great shinigami.
One of his biggest achievements yet was achieving the rank Lieutenant of the 4th squad. On a normal scouting trip Alastair and his teammates were cornered by Menos Grande. He would lead the small group to attack the menos strategically and with much grace. Somehow the menos managed to get the up hand firing a full power cero a the group until Alastair awakened his shikai cancelling the attack out with his move Dark Magician Blast giving his teammates the opportunity to counter and take down the menos. Low and behold this was a test of leaderships and reliability which he passed with flying colors. The allowed him to raise the the rank of lieutenant with quick work. Alastair now in the 4th squad as the Co Captain still training vigorously to and encountered countless missions to achieve Bankai which allowed him to qualify for the Captain equivalence test. He would sadly fail losing to Minato Ari by one point. Following his rather fun defeated he would work alongside of Ari by becoming her Lieutenant.
