Bleach OC - Sears Draken

 "Everyone has a story to tell and you're always the main character of your own tale."

Appearance
Draken stands at 5 feet, 8 inches tall with short blonde hair and green eyes. He prefers to wear jeans, a t-shirt, and a white camo jacket. While in spirit form, he wears black slacks with a white button-up shirt, a striped vest, and combat boots.

Personality
Draken is a cheerful guy that tries his best to stay positive no matter how dark his life may become. He has a strong sense of justice and can't ignore it when someone is in need. He's the type to give you the shirt off his back and this often leads him into trouble but he never complains when this happens. He's the type of person that keeps things to himself and hides them behind a cheerful smile. His problems are his own and he won't burden those he cares about with them.

He's always longed for adventure, to explore the world and meet new people, and he spent most of his childhood reading fantasy and adventure books. He prefers to see the good in people rather than the bad and, even when he does meet someone bad, he believes that they can change if someone offers them a friendly hand. He rarely gets angry but if someone messes with his loved ones, he simply can't control his anger.

History
Draken was born on October 28th in Riverview City, Florida, making him a Scorpio. He was abandoned by his parents, dropped off at the local orphanage where he spent his entire childhood. He was known for always looking out for the other children until they were adopted, but no one ever wanted to adopt him. He didn't mind this, though, he was just happy to be able to help look after the other kids. When he turned 18, he was kicked out of the orphanage and was forced to live on the street for a year while trying to find a job and save up enough money to purchase his own apartment. He camped out in the woods and, one day, he stumbled upon a strangely dressed man.

The man seemed lost so, being the helpful guy he is, Draken asked him if he needed any help. The man was injured, covered in blood, and clinging to a tree in order to keep himself upright. He said he had to reach the cliffs before the sun rose and, though Draken found this to be a strange request when the man was so gravely wounded, he helped him. Just as they reached the cliffs, an enemy appeared with his sword drawn, ready to finish off the man. Draken tried to fight him off but he was no match for the enemy in question so the man could only do one thing to save both of them - he grabbed Draken by the back of his shirt and jumped off the cliff into the icy depths below. Inside the swirling water was a portal to another world. Specifically, to a small town called Karakura in Japan.

When Draken finally woke, he found himself in the home of an elderly couple who claimed to have found him unconscious on the street. He didn't know what to think, but he did his best to make the most out of the situation. The couple was kind enough to let him stay at their home while he looked for work. How he suddenly knew how to speak Japanese was a total mystery to him, but it wasn't the only one. He could now see spirits and hollows and he wasn't sure how to deal with this.
