Early life
Gekkō was born June 30th, as the son of Tsuki and Kiritsu Kirameki, 17 years before joining the Onmitsukidō. His sister, Ayako was born only one year leater. When he was young, Gekko had already possessed incredible intellect, enetering into the Shinō Academy at the tender age of seven. He rose through the ranks at incredible speeds and graduated merely after one year afterwards. Gekko was highly popular among his peers at school, espicially the young girls who normally developed crushes on the young man. Once Gekko graduated from the academy he began training personally under his father into more advanced Shinigami techniques, of which he again showed his intuituve aptitude for Shinigami arts.

On June 6th, Gekko along with his mother where rushing back to their home in the Rukongai from a terrible storm that had came earlier. Then when the two had almost made into the house, tragedy had struck. This tradegy was Gekkos own father. Gekko couldn't believe his eyes, it was not only his father but several other Shingami, Gekko wanted to defend his mother from them and questioned his fathers motives. His mother knocked him into near-unconsciousness, and the last thing he saw was the begining of her batle with his father before losing total conciousness. When he regained conciousness, he found that he was in a new house, with a black-haired man standing next to the bed he was laying on. Gekko, still traumatized and angry over the events that had happened bteween he and his parents, lashed out at the man, only to be quickly put down into a bodylock that he had never seen before. The man revealed himself to be Sakata Juro, the current leader and Captain of the Onmitsukidō...

The Onmitsukidō
After Gekko met Sakata, he began more extensive training, this time in the arts of assasination and Ninjutsu. After an extended period of time training, Gekko finally was inlisted into the Stealth Force, already justifying his position. While the other members carried on with their indiviual conversations, Gekko could only think of one thing: His father dead at his feat. After only a few months upon joining the Stealth Force, Fekko had laready became one of its deadliest members, with more kills and with more accuracy than anyone except for the Captain, Sakata.

Shunpō
HohōMaster: (歩法, Agility) Gekkō is one of the most proficient in the art of flash steps ever born, comparable to - if not surpassing - the "Goddess of Flash" Yoruichi Shihōin, the most adept user of her generation. His sheer versatility in the art is nothing short of astonishing.He is by far one of the fastest beings within Soul Society.

He is capable of maintaining high speed movements for extended periods of time while only using the least amount of steps to achieve those movements. His skill in Shunpō is so great that it seems as though he possesses a form of teleportation as he moves in the blink of an eye, simply "appearing" solidly instead of shimmering for a second like other Shunpō users. Gekkō's natural speed is nothing short of nightmarish, being able to appear behind his opponents and close the distance between them in near milliseconds.He is able to easily outmaneuver even Captain-level opponents. He is perceived to be so fast that one cannot discern even being attacked by him until after it has taken place.His overall skill in the art greatly surpasses that of Yoruichi Shihōin, as most have given him the moniker "God Flash".
 * Senka (閃花, Flash Blossom): A special Shunpō technique where one moves behind the opponent to directly attack and seal one's "Saketsu (鎖結, Chain Binding)" and "Hakusui (鎖結, Soul Sleep)" in two rapid attacks. The movement is so fast that an opponent may not be able to tell whether he was attacked from the front or the back and even an outside observer may find it impossible to tell what the movements are.

Swordsmenship
Zanjutsu Master: (斬術, Swordsmanship) Gekkō has virtually unnatural prowess and skill in the art of Zanjutsu, being not only masterful of the core art itself, but also mastering techniques that stem from it. In terms of his fighting style, he is known for his nearly unrivaled mastery within the art of swordsmanship.In terms of his sword fighting style, Gekkō relies mostly on his unreleased Zanpakutō and is said by many to be a master in swordsmanship. His ingenuity in it is much greater than most Shinigami and Hollows as he is able to use his skill in more versatile and effective maneuvers. He fights in a neutral state of "berserker" and "intellectual", surprising his opponents with his silent fury. Gekkō is able to use the air itself to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind, or in some cases sound, to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which Gekkō launches at his opponent(s), Gekkō normally uses this technique to reduce or full null the a Kidō spell or the Special Ability of a Zanpakutō.
 * Kendō (剣道, Kendo; "Way of The Sword") is a modern Japanese martial art of sword-fighting based on traditional samurai swordsmanship. When Gekkō uses this technique, he can cause even the mightiest of foes to fall at his feet. Gekkō can cause wide-spread damage to the area of which he used the technique.

His methods are volatile, enabling him to rival practically all types of combatants with his Kenjutsu.
 * Iaido (居合道, Iaidō): Japanese martial art associated with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard or saya, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. Gekkō can utilize this technique with such skill and speed, that in one moment his opponent is standing, and in the next he is on the ground. This is a testament to the great speed that Gekkō sports while using Iaido. 

Zanpakutō
Bankai:Kami no Shugo (神の守護 "Eng. Lit: "God's Guardian"): To activate his Bankai, Gekkō points his blade upwards towards the skies above while muttering, "Bankai". Upon the command phrase, Gekko begins to glow and emit a powerful amount of dark-blue reiatsu as his form is engulfed in the energy. Upon activating his body Gekkō's body seemingly disappears behind the vortex of black and white reiryoku whips and reiatsu, that finally evaporate from Gekkō's form revealing his new form. Gekkō's black hair becomes more long and flowing, light bluish-gray bandages form around his body, firmly wrapped around his torso, right arm, and the lower regions of his face, ending just beneath his eyes. Black flame-like markings spread across his chest and wrap around his left arm. His Zanpakutō becomes a silver nodachiwithacirculartsubaandblackandwhite handle. Unlike most Bankai, Gekkō's Bankai doesn't use up as much Spiritual Energy due to his ability to compress it into a fine form.
 * Kami Sutoraiki (神ストライキ "God Strike"): Similar to Getsuga Tenshō (月牙天衝, "Moon Fang Heaven Piercer"), Kōken'nin absorbs Gekkō's reiatsu upon the instant of the slash; however, unlike Getsuga Tenshō, the attack is not purely destructive and not nearly as simple. This would be its ability: to "perfectly" infuse Gekkō's Hollow reiatsu with his Shinigami reiatsu, thus creating an attack that is on a level of its own. Other than this, Kami Sutoraiki is can use the function of Hōrinesu on an entirely different level;it being able to absorb not only the opponent's reiatsu, but also send "signals" back to Gekkō about their reishi signatures. This enables Gekkō to effectively counterattack all of his opponents attacks, though the latter ability is only effective for up to 5 minutes.
 * Enhanced Bankai Duration: Furthermore, the fact that all of his energy is "compressed" means that usage of his Bankai doesn't expel as much spiritual power as other Bankai from the point of activation, thus allowing him to use Furthermore, the fact that all of his energy is "compressed" means that usage of his Bankai doesn't expel as much spiritual power as other Bankai from the point of activation, thus allowing him to use Kami no shugo at a much longer duration than any other Bankai users of his level.
 * Enhanced Spiritual Power: While in Bankai, Gekkos Spiritual Power is enhanced both grandly and explosively. His reiatsu is so intense and rough as well as that it can suffocate lower-level Shinigami who are merely in the general vicinity of his released Bankai.Gekkōs Spiritual power is great enough to battle on par with two ather Capatain-level Bankai-clothed Shinigami.
 * Enhanced Shikai Abilities:
