Personality: Some may think that those who live must have some kind of heart and soul. While the one who loves to live is dead... that is somehow the life of a shinigami. You many not haven noticed but Shinigami love to live... yet they aren't alive in the first place. Even so, Thomas Welbourne, a shinigami, loves to live no matter how badly his life would be. To live meant chance, chance was a time to put your chin up and face the world. That's what Thomas did. Thomas is a happy fellow, only sad when he needs to be, mournful of losses of his friends and family. To his subordinates he shows great care... that is who he is. A shinigami of happiness, peace, and truth. A gateway to the world that says, "you can come here, you can live like the stars, but Vile and Cruel Nature is not allowed". Even so, at times he can be a bit goofy, but that is just who he is. Then again, he always likes to make friends, and because he is so good natured, it's not very hard to do so.

Likes and Dislikes: He likes a bit of Sake >>, he likes nice weather but doensn't mind a nice drizzle of rain every now and then. He likes to have fun and do activites that won't harm anyone. He Dislikes fighting but will do so if he is made. He likes to be a shinigami. He likes to be a friend. He hates evil, cruel, vile, disgusting, maniac, insane nature. He also dislikes it when people underesitmate him.

Division: i would like to be the 6th division Captain, if not, just a normal placement inside of this division.

History: Earth. The Planet and World that sustains life. Life... a great thing to have, without it, you are nothing. But then, without life, what would someone call you? A nobody in human terms? Perhaps there is a bigger reason to who you are. Even so, that wouldn't make sense would it. If there was a bigger reason, wouldn't we know it? Possibly because only a few can realize this reason and make an understanding. That was the destiny of a new child, being born, in a hospital somewhere in a town in the mountains. His parents looked and searched for the best name for the new born baby. They found it, it was to be Thomas, Thomas Welbourne. Thomas's destiny was to make that understanding. He wasn't like any other human. He was smarter, more athletic, and had a wit that could make even Einstein tremble in his wake. It wasn't like he was better than the others, he was just blessed with a gift. A gift that would change his life forever. Growing up a normal life, he took part in using educational toys, normal toys, and playing with his friends. He went to an elementary school. He skipped the first grade even. Some would have said that is impossible for someone to go to barely learning in kindergarden then straight to second grade. Even so, Thomas Welbourne's smarts got him up high in life. Well... some might say that, for skipping a grade, he was younger than most of the kids in second grade. Being constantly bullied and made fun of wasn't his thing. So he wanted payback. Not like killing payback or revenge, he just wanted them to know that he was with them 'til they leave for a different school. The next day, he decided he would do this peacefuly and without hurting the second graders. As they planned to do a dog pile and tackle him, he side stepped to the right nearly getting hit. They all fell in a pile and were moaning at their bad luck.

You see, Thomas's goal wasn't to hurt them using force, he was trying to make it so that he could easily evade them. Evading them meant they would be hurt by their own plans. Smiling, Thomas simply had walked away from the misfortune that would soon lay before him in his future. Coming up to his middle school years, he was still smart, and he hadn't skipped a grade again remembering what had happened last time. Middle school was a much tougher place than Elementary. Making new friends along the way, he hanged out with the seventh graders like him even though they were older. It was because new transfer students hadn't cared about his age. They just liked to hang out with him. Which fufilled one of his lifetime goals. "Making a friend"... well that was a continues goal, it wouldn't end after making just 1 or 2. He planned to make so many friends, everyone would gasp and be shocked at how wonderous and lucky he could and would be!!! Yet his life had somewhat more to come. He was now 15. The future that was earlier foretold would soon happen. He was finally in high school. The last age of school years that would lead to college and a bright future to those who wish to have one. Acing every test, being the first freshmen to make it into the football team. Life as Good. Well... it was good for Thomas, considering that this flashback of history isn't of some other person in the world known as Earth. It was a very sad inicdent. He had been walking out of school as the bell rang to say that school was now over for the day. Jumping over the steps and landing on the ground with a thud, he picked up the pace and began to run home. Turning a right, he had been walking along the street when a dreadful accident took part. A drunken man had been driving his truck and swirved over to the sidewalk, running away, the truck drove behind him going back and forth from the drunken man.

His eyes bursting into tears, his mouth opening and he screaming, was all that he could remember. "Help.... Help!!!" He tried to run away but it was as if the truck was locked on him and only him. He was going to die. The tears running down his cheeks, his eyes full of sorrow, and then.... he tripped. He tripped on a rock that had been infront of him. How terrible his luck had turned. He car flew at him and broke his rib cage and neck. Falling to the ground as the truck kept on moving... Thomas Welbourne... was dead. Waking up, he found himself layed against a tree. He felt kind of fine, as if nothing had happened. Standing up, a dog walker walked by and he waved. The Man ignored him. Feeling stunned at how rude that was, he heard the sounds of a chain. Turning around, he aimed to find where that sound was coming from. Then, he looked down and saw a chain on his chest. Startled, he let out a quick shout of terror. He didn't know what was happening. Running down the road, he felt as if he was still alive... but no one saw him, no one listened to him.... he was terrified. Then, his luck turned even worse. A dark rift in the air formed up in the sky 30 meters before him. A white head that resembled a mask came out. Along with a grey body that looked like a shaven dog. His eyes growing larger, he was frozen in fear. He couldn't move a muscle to escape yet another death. Then it happened. Some kind of sensation was unleashed out into the world. Tilting his head to the side, a man wearing a black komono. A man with black hair coming from his head, a man with black eyes that were some what cheerful came behind him. Yet, the man held a katana in his hand, a grin on his face, and a twinkle in his eye. Turning to Thomas, he spoke. "It's allright, you'll be safe now" Nodding, he turned to the beast that suddenly dashed forward at him. The man suddenly appeared before him with his katana raised.

Suddenly the man jumped from the ground with suprising speed and strength and was right before the monster. Slashing his sword at the mask-like head, the monster didn't fall to the ground... but disinigrated in thin air. Then the man suddenly dissapeared and reappeared right before Thomas with the hilt pointed at his forehead. The man said, "You're safe now, you'll love it in Soul Society, and if you stay here, more of those "monsters" will come and get you." Nodding once again, the hilt was pressed to his forehead and he himself shined brightly and dissapeared... in the air. Waking up, he found himself in what seemed to be rukongai. Some guy came up to him that seemed to look at around his age. Smiling the guy said he was Jendai and he would help him along the way. He was told about his experience he had earlier been in, he was told about rukongai and soul society, and lastly, he was told about the shinigami and the hollow. Sighing, he vowed in his head that he would become a shinigami to help others at all costs. Then one day the academy opened and he was given notice. Having already ordered his shinigami clothes, he bursted from his home in rukongai and sped down the road to the academy. His classes were hard and brutal compared to the ones back in Earth but he managed. His academy days were fun but then came the last year. The year when he had to take the exams and prove himself to pass and go on to live as a shinigami in the thirteen court guard squads. He had been in kido class exam. Doing many Bakudo's and Hado's, he aimed to be a great kido user. Then he had his duel zanpacktou. (yes, i wish to have duel zanpacktou) He was the only duel zanpacktou users in his class. Almost everyone wished that they could have that kind of zanpacktou.

It seemed that his luck was rising. In kendo classes and other fighting classes, he was one of the top students. Never being beaten by any other. It seemed that he was going to be a great shinigami. Having been in the academy for about 6 years, he had many tests on shinigami nature. Yet this was the hardest. He had to prove himself not only in combat but on paper that he was ready to be a shinigami. There were questions on how to kill hollows, on kido, about rukongai, and about the human world, Earth. Even though it was hard, he passed.... he even got everything right. He was one of the few that aced the test, thankfully. Joining the thirteen court guard squads, he was put into the 6th division and made the 3rd seat. It was because he had gotten his shikai a year after the academy since he had been practicing during the academy as well. It had been very peaceful in the seireitei at that time so there wasn't much to do but do the squads daily duties and train. Because of his training, he challenged the vice captain that was the earlier current 6th division lieutenant. Having won after taking part in a fierce battle, he became the vice captain of the 6th division squad. It seems his luck had grown greatly from that incident a long time ago. Then the 6th division Captain was killed in a freak accident that occured down in Earth. No one knew what happened but it was devistating, especially for Thomas Welbourne. Having gotten his bankai, another captain reccomended him to be the 6th division Captain. He accepted cheerfully knowing that he would keep the former 6th division Captains legacy by being the best he could be. With 3 Captains (including the Captain Commander) watching him, he proved himself to be a Captain. Having gotten Shikai and Bankai, having proved himself of being a shinigami, he was Captain Welbourne. The 6th division Captain of the thirteen court guard squads, he was happy.
