--------------------Persona--------------------

Appearance:

The Russian was blessed with a handsome face, which puts him in the category of a lady killer, this of course comes as part of his design, as per the intention of his creator. Sacha or The Russian as he is known possesses a rather pale white skin, causing him to appear as a vampire from the old folklores. And considering the nature of the Bounts, one can say Sacha is your modern day Dracula from ancient times. Sacha has long jet black spiky shoulder length hair, with blonde streaks running through it in small portions, taking up a few noticeable strands of hair. The Bount also has piercing blue eyes that are most alluring, hypnotic and equally intimidating too. The Russian’s gaze is known for unnerving the sturdiest of men and women alike. Sacha has a pair of two inches long black earrings in the shape of a cross, these of course being worn in his ear, hanging from his earlobes. On the left arm of The Russian, namely his upper arm, there is a tattoo, one of a woman and the other of a pistol that the woman appears to be standing on. This tattoo is the sealed form of his Doll, acting as its medium.

Sacha Van Sneider leads by example as far as attire is concerned, sticking to the formal dress code of what he calls the Harbingers. Sacha wears a modified Chinese Mao suit, a black one of course as chosen by the man. Sacha’s Mao suit was modified to resemble that of a sleeveless vest, with the typical white Mao suit frog buttons, at least seven buttons going down the vest in total. Sacha wears a pair of black trousers, with a black belt with a raven on the belt’s buckle. The Bount also sports a pair of black men boots, with the legs of his trousers covering a portion of the boots. Sacha’s trousers appear a lot like combat trousers with pockets around the thigh areas and in the most typical of areas, just below the hips. Taking it one step further, the Bount also wears a long black overcoat, one that has a high collar with white tassels on them. Sacha has a pair of black gloves on both hands no doubt. There is also a militarized white chord that is worn around his left shoulder. A set of military like stars is worn on each of his shoulders.

There are times when Sacha will be seen wearing a military fashioned officer’s hat, a black one of course with a silver bad on it. The Bount also stands at six foot fives inches tall, and is of a muscular tone, a man of great power in mind, body and soul.

Personality:

The ability to readily describe the Russians personality, based on one definitive persona, is sometime a troublesome task. The Russian is no doubt a very intelligent and cunning person, appearing to be someone that is also quite cold, unforgiving and merciless at times. He is very calculating and manipulative, knowing when to pick a fight and when not to. He is also not the type of person to let his anger get the better of him. The Russian is the type to always remain calm and collected. A tease and a troll most of the time, he will at times appear to be a jester. Indulging himself in certain antics, purely for his own amusement, whether it be out of boredom or otherwise. The aura that he gives off, that comes as a by product of his personality, makes others distrustful of him. This generally affects those around him, which forces them to always be on their toes. No one can ever consider themselves friend or foe around him. To say he is loyal will be an assumption; to say he is entirely fickle would also be an assumption. He stands in between both traits, easily swayed to one side, often for a short amount of time. If the Russian is to ally with someone for a worthy cause then he will try his best to live up to his end of the bargain. The Russian also believes in achieving his goals through whatever means necessary. He is not one to brag, nor is he boastful, he is exactly the opposite. The Russian is a modest being, which adds even more to the mystery of the man.

Sacha doesn't take kindly to those who would outwardly criticize his work. He is a man that doesn't know or want to know the meaning of perfection. It is an idea or rather a myth in the eyes of the Russian, who is constantly seeking to improve himself. Apart from his cruel nature, The Russian shows a certain degree of tolerance; some would say he has the patience of a teacher. Even so, there is only so much that this complex individual is willing to endure. While most things don’t concern The Russian, he is not one to shy away from a decent battle. Cowardice is not something that this man praises, since one must learn how to be brave at times. Suffice to say, being foolish is also something to be frowned upon. One must know how to choose their battles, and The Russian has taken part in almost every type of battle one could think of. The Russian also respects those who has honour and shows some form of integrity. So complex is the man that he isn't bound to any one individual. However, he knows what it means to be loyal and the importance of it. A fickle being must perish in the eyes of The Russian. A man or woman who has no loyalty, most likely knows not what it means to have honor. Many would deem the Russian to be hypocrite and many would be inclined to agree. In spite of all these wonderful things, The Russian certainly has a few bad traits. One such trait being his addiction to gambling and placing bets. Interestingly enough, The Russian isn't one to bet on something if there is a possibility that he will lose.

The mind of this enigmatic being revolves around creation; this is what he was born to do. A man that is most intelligent, and never afraid of putting his scientific skills to good use. He was born in a lab and so all of this comes natural. As a side note, Sacha’s voice is rather deep and carries a thick Russian accent. The Bounto also seems to have an attachment towards his Dollpakuto on a more personal level. They seem to be drawn to each other on a profound level. Of not just master and servant, but as lovers at times. This dedication to each other is at times the Bount's biggest weakness, and can also be his greatest strength.

--------------------History--------------------

History:

Creation Of Sacha.

Sacha was born or rather created as a Bounto for one specific purpose. This purpose revolves around him carrying out the will of the one who created him. Sacha was created like many other generic Bountos. Though instead of a freak accident, he came about in a controlled environment. And from a very young age, he was literally programmed a certain way. Though none of this brought any limits upon him, as far as living was concerned. He was so perfect that he was like any other man, capable of human behavior. Able to thrive in an environment that required integration. The manifestation of Sacha happened when a rogue scientist, a mad one at that sought revenge. A man known as Azuma to the young bount. Azuma was the Captain of the Junibantai before he fled the Soul Society. The man had created a number of serious crimes. And among these crimes were certain experiments, not sanctioned by the court of pure souls. The man was deemed dangerous and had he not fled the Soul Society, it would have been sure death for him. Azuma say his dismal as an act of betrayal and from then on, swore revenge against the Shinigami. His intentions were to destroy the foundations of the Soul Society. Leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of power, revenge and most of all madness. Even so Azuma was quite the intelligent one, his scientific mind made him even more dangerous. A mind and talent he hoped to instill within his creations, who were modified with his very spirit essence. Using this very unique mind of his, Azuma furthered his research, embarking on something new. Bringing to life something ancient to serve under him as minions only loyal to him. Sacha was created as one of these minions, yet considered to be one of the special ones. Most of the other Bountos created were failed experiments. But Sacha himself was a break through, a being that possessed great potential for extraordinary things.

To put a specific date when all of this took place would be impossible for Sacha. Since to him it all seemed like centuries. His sense of time was shattered, but slowly but surely he found his place in this world. Like most beings are intended to, Sacha grew much like a human would. While honing his abilities at a very tender age, absorbing the souls of other beings. It was his favorite past time, since it meant he was getting stronger and stronger. Day by day, his creator thought him the ways of the world. Sacha however was programmed to be something very akin to a Russian. Even the name given onto the youngster suggested this. As time went by, Sacha took on the simple nickname "The Russian". It was by this title that many lived among him, referred to him as. Sacha was thought the many languages of the world, though each one of them was spoken with a Russian accent. It should also be noted that the man was very fluent with these many languages. Ranging from a Russian, German, Japanese, English, Spanish and many more. If he was to be the perfect weapon, then Sacha needed to be efficient in every way. During his younger days, his daily routine consisted of studying, training, among various other activities. There were also time when the Bounto would go out hunting,seeking out souls of absorb. Having an appetite for the stronger ones for empowerment. That doesn't mean he wasn't smart enough to know when and when not to fight.

Growing up Arc:

The Mission

Overtime Sacha got a lot stronger and worthy of being given the task of the adventure. With his weapon, his "Doll" along with a multitude of other Bounto. Sacha was instructed to cause nothing but trouble for the Shinigami. Luring them to the material world, where several slaughters would commence. However, not everything went as smooth as they were meant to be. Both the Bounto and the Shinigami lost comrades on both sides. Sacha on the other hand however kept moving forward. Fighting a war that he doesn't even remember how it even started. He was nothing more than a mindless killer, no matter how one looked at it. A being created and lead down the wrong path, made to fight for the ideals of another man. Some would say the mistake Azuma made was creating these Bounts. Not to mention using them for his own personal gain. The man hadn't taken into consideration, the Bounto's ability to think, perhaps feel. Sacha's intelligence and abilities, surpassed many of his comrades. He was no ordinary creature, something Azuma knew all too well. Time went by, years, at least centuries, more and more Bounts were manufactured. And the foolish war ensued, without any signs of either side giving up. The Bounto however were at a grave disadvantage. Dealing with the Shinigami would prove to be a very difficult thing. The Russian was a teenager when the Bounto forces, along with Azuma made their way to the Soul Society. A war immediately broke out with the Shinigami responding to the threat. The Shinigami turned out to be rather merciless and unforgiving with the response. The battle took place in the Rukongai districts.

Lives were lost as the battles were fought, but the Bounto was outnumbered. Not to mention they were fighting on the enemies turf. Sacha saw the dangers of this, but followed his master's wishes nonetheless. It was only a matter of time, before Sacha would amass enough strength to go off on his own. Nevertheless The Russian carried on fighting a losing battle. But even as this happened, he was getting stronger, able to hold his own against the so called elites. The man lived without fear, not knowing what it even meant to have fear. What good was such a thing to him anyway? It was pointless to demonstrate anything of the sorts. Azuma's forces were broken, but the clever little scientist always had a plan. The man was very tactical indeed, allying himself with the Arrancar. This way the man gained the ability to use a certain ability of the Menos. This ability came in the form of a Negacion, used to extract their comrades. Sacha was among those still surviving, and still possessed the will to fight. Most of the Russian's comrades worshiped Azuma their creator. Sacha on the other hand only showed a fair amount of admiration for the man. Never once did he sing his praise too much, apart from a compliment here and there. Though created, the Russian had a mind of his own, able to think for himself. This was also one of the things that made him very dangerous. His partly rebellious attitude at the time, made others quite wary of him. There was also the fear that most felt when in his presence. That too was only natural when dealing with a being that was almost perfect. Yes almost perfect, since as the saying goes, no man is perfect.

With the remainder of their forces, Sacha ended up in Hueco Mundo, where they managed to hid themselves among the desert dwellers. Sacha on the other hand, only saw the Arrancar as a meal for him further enhance his abilities. The Russian knew very well that by munching on the beings, he'd be able to gain even more abilities. The Russian was on a mission to get stronger and even break away from Azuma. Once he was able to do this, he'd be free to do as he so pleased. In the mean time The Russian stuck together with his immediate comrades. There would be no bonds formed between Sacha and these Hollows. More and more plans were put together with Azuma, feeding off the hatred that the Hollows held for the Shinigami. Sacha took notice of this, further evaluating the skills and prowess of his soon to be opponent. Azuma had managed to grow rather powerful, such a meal would be the perfect boost for Sacha. It took years after their defeat in Soul Society, for Azuma to resurface again, During that time, The Russian was busy gathering strength. Growing stronger at every opportunity, killing without prejudice. The Bounto turned out to be a very cunning person. Very much like the one who created him in the first place. It was then that Sacha, realized part of the reason why he was created. The man was simply there to carry on the work of Azuma should he fail. The Russian however had no intentions of waging a war, that had nothing to do with him in the first place. The time had finally come and another showdown was to take place. This time The Bounto along with the Arrancar moved to crush the Shinigami.

Power Arc:

Betrayal and a New Beginning

The Bounto seemed set for battle, in which the plan was to move into material world. There they'd be able to take on the Shinigami, whilst hoping they'd be too cautious of their surroundings. It was always thought that the Shinigami didn't want to influence the material world too much. The Reiatsu of the Gotei 13 Captains woould be enough to cause a catastrophe. The Shinigami knew this all too well and so took the fight to the Bounto instead. The invasion of Hueco Mundo took place. And the Shinigami showed that they were not to be underestimated, even when on the enemy's turf. More and more battles took place, comrades and enemies died. And for every soul that presented themselves to The Russian. They were absorbed in order to add even more to his abilities. Azuma sensed that his time was near, and so attempted to entrust his mission to Sacha. The Russian as hinted before had no intentions of carrying on once Azuma was out of the picture. Azuma found himself battle worn and seriously injured. The man called forth Sacha, hoping to entrust Sacha with his ambitions. The Russian on the other hand, saw this as the perfect opportunity to kill the man. And so he did without a second thought, the Russian would have absorbed his soul too. Except the Bounto was interrupted and so the opportunity was lost. This happened much to the Russian's dismay, but the man was finally free. This freedom meant that he no longer had any ties to anyone or anything. It was just him and his trusty companion in battle. His "Doll" and the abilities that he had gained throughout the time spent among Azuma. The Russian managed to find a way to get to the material world, where he decided to let the dust settle for a while. The man Bounto was now left to his own devices, and as such he began living a life among the humans. Sacha began living life among the humans, fully integrating himself in their societies. The man did so while staying through to the way of the Bounto. Years passed and those past events seemed more like a distant memories, etched into the back of his mind. For the Bounto, life had only just begun.

But even after years of wandering about, never truly settled. The Bounto had his calling in the form of a brotherhood, an organization of fellow Bounts. The Russian of course saw this as the perfect opportunity to undertake another project. Choosing not to focus too heavily on the future. The organization the man found himself apart of was the Shataiki. He wasn't so sure about the name, but it provided him with the necessary shelter. It all made sense, considering there are wars constantly being waged. Shinigami verses the Arrancar, likewise Bounto battled against the Quincy.
