History:
Life

Jacob Alexander Bishop was the last born child of James Bishop & Alexis Bishop. As the last child of the family the burden of success was placed heavily on him, particularly by his father. It has always been expected of him to surpass his older siblings in every possible way and to excell at everything; as a child failure to do so often resulted in him not being fed and him having to endure harsh beatings from his father. At the age of 15 his mother passed away and he was sent to live with his grandfather (his mother’s father) for the next 4 years of his life. Whilst living with his grandfather Jacob maintained his constant struggle for excellence and studied & worked out dilligently every day. His grandfather like his father constantly pushed him past what should have been his limitations and often berated him in front of the other children that he had adopted, calling him worthless, undisciplined and lazy. On top of all this the other students began to hate Jacob as they were jealous of his physical and academical prowess ; as such Jacob often spent most of his time alone further strengthening his anti-social persona.

When his grandfather passed away he returned to his fathers home at the age of 19. For several years life was easy for Jacob, his father no longer had the neccesarry strength to physically harm Jacob and the teenager had already learned how to close off his mind to the mental & emotional abuse, he was for all intents and purposes reclusive and zombie like. That was however until he met a young lady who changed his life drastically in the space of a few months.

Jacob met Kimi Asane when he was 23 years old, he dated her 2 weeks before finding out that she was involved with the local yakuza boss' son. Even so he was so enthralled with her that he could not call of the relationship. When their relationship was discovered, the yakuza boss' son had them both killed.

Pre-academy
Upon finding himself in rukongai, Jacob headed towards the woods finding himself drawn to them because of their beauty and the solitude they provided. He spent several hundred years there living off the various berries and shoots that grow in it. One morning he awoke to find two armed people staring down at him, one male and one female. The male sat with his back against a tree, Jacob noticed that a black butterfly kept landing on the man’s finger and then leaving only to return minutes later whilst the woman greeted him and began talking with him. For a reason unknown to him he found himself flowing into speech freely about everything & nothing all at once. He came to know the duo as shinigami. They told him that they had sensed an abnormal reiryoku leaking from the forest and when they entered the forest they discovered that it seemed to be emanating from him. They told him that he had a great gift and that he should enrol in the shinigami academy, he agreed to do so and left the forest with them and enroled in the academy.
