Physical Description:


(Or simply look at my avatar)

Special Accessories: As long as it looks good on me.

Zanpakuto: Xeion's zanpakuto, Elena, clearly resembles that of a traditional English broadsword during the medieval ages with only slight alterations to the overall design. The sword's base and its hilt are made with gold with the base having a solid gold symbol of the Maltese Cross engraved on it and the hilt with lavish archaic design. The blade itself is quite long but not long enough to sacrifice scabbard withdrawal speed and its not quite as thick so as not to sacrifice the user's dexterity. Simply put, it's a broadsword that has the perfect mix of speed, attack, and defense.





Powers:

Shikai Form: When Xeion's shikai form is activated with the activation key: "Corrupt me now", the broadsword's frame alters completely into a sinister looking blade, writhing with malicious intent. The sword's name itself is Elena and can physically manifest herself as an extremely gorgeous young lady of about 20 years of age with long flowing hair of silver hue and wearing absolutely nothing with only her long hair as cover. Recently, though, Xeion has convinced Elena to dawn more appropriate clothes as he doesn’t see the need for Elena to “strut her stuff’ around anymore. His personality completely changes as he turns into an emotionless fighter with only a few words to spare for his enemies and responds only to the voice of Elena. As for Elena, she is an unusual spirit whom treats Xeion not as a master, but as her lover and would do anything to protect him from any harm. Note that Xeion’s zanpakuto, along with being unique, is also a Release Phrase-heavy weapon which need numerous release phrases in order to use it properly.

First Stage: “Stained Reflection”





During this stage of shikai development, Xeion has little control over his body and mind as Elena herself is the one who controls him during this state. After weeks of rigorous training of his own, fiendish design, Xeion has finally mastered the said shikai stage to such an extent that he can now retain his sense of self while utilizing the full potential of this shikai stage which are as follows:



Second Stage: “True Reflection”



~“With these hands, I offer you my blood; the blood which contains my heart and my soul. Hear me now as I make this covenant with you, written in blood which now flows down your body. Let the world see your true face, o blue rose that glimmers amidst the abysmal night’s curtain. Break the mirror and show your true reflection and from the depths of despair, awaken, with wings ablaze with majestic light."~


In this stage of evolution, Xeion and Elena’s souls have become perfectly in tune with each other as this second stage signifies Xeion and Elena’s triumph over their own inner demons, as represented by the cooler-looking sword. Unlike normal zanpakuto stage evolution which normal shinigami can use on a whim, Xeion’s second stage has two certain conditions that he must accomplish in order to fully bring out the second stage’s full power. The first condition is that Xeion must offer Elena his blood to activate the transformation into the second stage of development, giving Xeion enormous speed and power and doubles the potency of the Dark Mirror’s abilities as well as envelop Xeion’s body in a cloak of malicious energy; an energy which can redirect 30 percent of attacks inflicted upon Xeion back at the attacker, at all times during the activation of this stage. Although this alone is enough to activate the transformation, it still isn’t enough for the sword to unleash its true power.

The second condition that needs to be met to release this stage’s true power is that Xeion must recite the second stage release phrase that is written above. By reciting this, Elena’s “True Reflection” awakens and allows Xeion to have four more abilities to add into his, already vast, arsenal of skills.

The Thread Cutter ability allows Xeion to slice open dimensional rifts in any place he slashes as long as the Thread Cutter ability is active. If Xeion cuts enough dimensional threads in a specific place, the dimension, unable to sustain itself, would crumble into a void of pure destruction before force-resetting itself to its previous form. This ability, however, doesn't damage the dimensional threads per se, but rather, simply "opens them up" to release the dimensional energies into a more destructive form. This principle, best described, would be filling a balloon up with water, letting the water out, then fill it back up again in order to repeat the same thing over and over again.

The Silent Edge makes use of the second stage’s abilities in order to bend the space-time continuum between the hands and the sword which would make Xeion’s attacks inexplicably faster as well as make them soundless. Also, due to the bending of space, Silent Edge attacks are usually masked with brilliant light, blinding the target and making it almost impossible to predict where the attack is coming from.

The Open Wound has the ability to allow an opponent’s reiatsu energy to leak out from the wounds that were made using Elena, due to the cosmic energy that constantly flows in Elena, which not only causes physically damage to an opponent, it would also damage the person's soul, only stopping until the opponent has no more reiatsu left or the wound has been properly treated and bandaged. It would also make the wounds inflicted with Elena hurt twice as much as it would normally would due to the damage caused to physical and spiritual tissue.

Lastly, the Dark Walker ability causes a spacial distortion around Xeion which alters his very physical appearance through the use of dimensional displacement, allowing him to perfectly blend in with his surroundings. This would also mask any sound he makes as his physical body is moving in a semi-separate dimension than the one he was previously in.

Bankai Form:

UNKNOWN

Skills: Adept at numerous styles of martial arts so it isn't a problem for him if he is armed or not.

Abilities: Xeion is quite fast as well as dexterous due to his intense training as well as razor sharp reflexes. He can also manipulate cosmic energy freely, thanks to his Revenant blood in addition to his zanpakuto, Elena, which also has the same ability.

Personality: He has a rather happy-go-lucky and clumsy aura around him, but he is kind and caring towards others and knows how to get deadly serious when the situation calls for it. He hates it when people ask about his clothes and accessories and gets irritated when asked to wear traditional Japanese clothing like most of the people in the Soul Society wear although, he mostly known for his love for ramen and the high moral standards he has, among other things. Above all, he's the typical nice guy whom you can go to in times of hardship and happiness and always be welcomed with open arms.

Biography/ History:

Xeion is a really mysterious kid; so mysterious in fact that he doesn't know how or why he got to the Soul Society and neither does the Soul Society. He was found unconscious near the border of the West Rukon district wearing the clothes he is wearing when he was still in the world of the living; a highly unusual, even impossible, occurrence in the Soul Society.

For many days, Xeion wandered around the Rukon and eventually came to be a peacemaker around the area; stopping fights and helping people in need which made him very popular around the area. Lodging and food wasn't a problem for Xeion since he usually stays from one house after another since he was a well known hero which made everyone treat him like family with numerous houses wanting to take him in for the night.

Soon, his deeds began to spread like wildfire until it came to the ears of one Byakuya Kuchiki, leader of one of Soul Society's four major clans, who seemed to be impressed by his deeds of chivalry. One day, the Kuchiki Clan decided to pay him a visit and offered him a chance to become a Soul Reaper and bring honor to the Rukon like few before him did. Without hesitation, Xeion accepted the offer and began training to become a Soul Reaper under the name Xeion Kuchiki.

As he went to train to become a soul reaper, he was met with the same obstacles that those of the Rukon District have experienced. Even though he was adopted into the Kuchiki Clan, he was still treated very harshly by his fellow classmates, constantly being subjected to painful beatings and harsh criticisms. After a while, he finally overcame those odds and graduated at the top of his class, beating out all others by a mile.

Before long, he underwent training to get his Zanpakuto where he met fellow soul reapers, Yamamoto and Thanatos, who trained him in proper combat until he achieved shikai form. After which, Xeion was personally invited by Thanatos to join him in Squad Four, the Seireitei's very own medical squad. Although not sure why a combat specialist like Thanatos would want him to join a medical squad, he cast away his doubts and followed Thanatos' opinion.

After countless days of loyal service under squad four, Xeion received a letter of request from the, now-former Captain of Squad Nine, Drfit Galewind. The letter contained his personal thoughts and feelings as well as transfer papers telling Xeion that he was now the vice captain of squad nine. After a bittersweet transfer order inside Rhia-taicho's office, Xeion proceeded to the squad nine barracks to fulfill his role as its new vice captain.

It had been three years since that day and Xeion's skills have greatly improved since then. Through intense physical and mental training, Xeion had developed a much greater control over his Angra Mainyu, the evil spirit which all Revenants possess inside of them, as well as he had grown a lot more mature both in his beliefs. Of course, in terms of combat prowess, improving in that aspect was already a given, but even though he had already become a fine warrior, he still retains his childish appeal and still keeps his vow to pacifism. Although his real age is still unknown, he now looks slightly older, now about 21 years of age.

Cosmic Energy: (Taken from the Magus, Ala Altra's Research Diary)

Rutilus Everto Oculus: Crimson Eyes of Corruption
Type: Support
Description: A common trait among fully mature Revenants. As a sign that they have the Angra Mainyu sealed within themselves, Revenant eyes change from their natural color to that of the color of crimson, reflecting the presence of the corrupted spirit inside of them as eyes are generally referred to as the ‘windows to the soul’. This is the proof of being a Revenant since Revenants are one of the few beings capable of holding such corrupted power without succumbing to its influence. When used, a Revenant can call upon the sealed power of the Angra Mainyu inside of him/her, but only for a short span of time lest the Revenant risk being consumed by the corruptive influence of the Angra Mainyu, and eventually, go berserk.

Concero Signum: The Twin Seals That Eternally Bind
Type: Support
Description: A powerful, indestructible, mystic eye suppressor, enchanted with several high-level magic spells, fashioned in the form of Xeion’s signature blue shades which he wears over his eyes. The item’s sole purpose is to keep the unimaginable powers of the Angra Mainyu sealed inside of Xeion’s eyes and functions by re-routing the corrupted energy that constantly emanate from his eyes into an infinite loop inside a self-contained world, eliminating the possibility of it affecting anything around him unless Xeion removes his shades.

Verus Votum: The Eyes of Truth
Type: Support
Description: Allows a Revenant to see the “true” nature of people and things, if the Revenant wants to. Since the Angra Mainyu in their eyes has the ability to see what a person truly is, making it easier for it to tempt them, a Revenant can also do the exact same thing to see what a person truly thinks or what the person’s true intentions are. In addition to that, taking this concept further, Revenants can see through illusions within their line of sight.

Astrum: The Eyes That Pierce The Soul
Type: Support
Description: Xeion lowers his shades a little bit to allow a minuscule amount of the Angra Mainyu’s power to affect the person he is staring at as long as he makes direct eye contact with that person. There are several types of Astrum variations Xeion can perform.

Astrum: Immobilize
Description: The most common Astrum Xeion makes use of. Upon making eye contact, the target becomes consumed with an overwhelming sense of fear, causing the brain to enter ‘panic mode’ in which the target becomes ‘paralyzed with fear’, so to say.

Astrum: Suggest
Description: Upon making eye contact, the target would become open to a hypnotic suggestion of Xeion’s choice. Since the target in this case would only be slightly hypnotized, the target would still retain his/her sense of self and can refuse to follow a suggestion if it is too absurd. This Astrum can only affect people with average reiatsu levels or people with a strong affinity with Xeion such as friends or family members.

Astrum: Charm
Description: Upon making eye contact, the power of the Angra Mainyu would distort the target’s perception of things around the target in order to calm the target down or lull the target to a peaceful sleep. Xeion finds use in this Astrum when he’s with his sisters or with friends.

Astrum: Enchantment
Usage Level: Extremely Rare (For emergencies only)
Usage Limit: One (1)
Description: Upon making eye contact, the target would be cast into a deep, hypnotic trance in which the target would follow Xeion’s every order. Unlike the previous Astrums, this affects everyone in Xeion’s line of sight, regardless of reiatsu level or affinity, but Xeion is only allowed to give them commands which don’t require the target to harm any living creature, themselves included.

World of Nightmares: The World of Darkness That Forms From People’s Hearts
Type: Support
Usage Level: Extremely Rare (For emergencies only)
Usage Limit: One (1)
Description: By releasing a certain amount of Angra Mainyu’s powers into 500m of the surrounding area, Xeion is able to connect his will to bend the dimensions within the area, use it to interfere with nature to some extent, and to transfigure the surrounding world at will according to his vision of the world or according to the target‘s worst nightmare. As Xeion is responsible for this, he can change the world as he wishes, but in the end, he can act only create something within the scope of natural laws, meaning that he cannot go beyond reality manipulation.

Incantation: “O pitiful shadow, cloaked in darkness; your presence has caused great pain and suffering to those around you. Your hollow soul drowns in your sins. I’ll show you what death is.”

Level One: Freeform Nightmare
Description: The area around Xeion transforms into whatever the target’s worst nightmare is.

Level Two: Red Garden
Description: The area around Xeion transforms in an eerie-looking garden, full of blood, red roses. The sky is dark and only a blood, red moon gives illumination to the surrounding darkness. Random whispers constantly permeate the air, giving anyone who hears it a slight chill down their spine.

Level Three: Grave Shutter
Description: The area around Xeion transforms into an eerie graveyard full of open graves. A constant feeling of fear engulfs the heart of whoever enters this place and the open graves serves as an environmental hazard as well. Those who fall into an open grave will immediately be encased within a coffin-like holder and bound with Cosmic Energy coils that sucks away at the stamina of whoever is inside.

Level Four: Shattering Soul
Description: The area around Xeion transforms into a spiraling vortex made up of souls. Depending on Xeion's will, they can either eliminate or support the use of reiatsu and as with the other levels, a constant feeling of fear engulfs the heart of whomever enters this place.

Level Five: Judgment
Description: The last level of the World of Nightmares and is the most terrifying of all. Considered as an EX-rank skill, this transforms the entire area into an absolute territory that stretches the limits of reality and the natural laws that govern it. In this level, Xeion is able to tap into the Origin of Fear to induce a feeling of absolute terror on anyone who enters it without consideration of the target's mental capacity or anything related to the sort and violating the target's absolute terror field mercilessly. Although Xeion has never once used this level on any living being before, it is theorized that anything exposed to this level will permanently go insane after experiencing such unimaginable degrees of terror at the very least. Another possible outcome is that the target's brain, unable to process everything that is going on around it, would overload and shut down, leaving the target in a vegetative state.

Dawn of Dreams: The World of Never-Ending Happiness
Type: Support
Usage Level: Extremely Rare (For emergencies only)
Usage Limit: One (1)
Description: The anti-thesis to the World of Nightmares. It functions in the same manner as the World of Nightmares, but instead of drawing from the target’s worst nightmares, it draws its power from the target’s sweetest dreams or Xeion’s view of a cute and happy world. While in Dawn of Dreams, anything inside is purged of the desire to fight and kill as a feeling of deep euphoria overwhelms their body. However, Xeion is free to manipulate this effect whenever he wishes to, and usually does, just so the people inside can learn a valuable lesson, but not to the point of killing them. The incantation to activate Dawn of Dreams is somewhat similar to the incantation of the World of Nightmares, wherein the only difference is the end part wherein Xeion says "May you all find happiness," instead of the normal "I'll show you what death is." This indicates the transition from the nightmare state to the dream state.

Level One: Heart‘s True Feelings
Description: The area transforms into a dream-like scene from the target’s dreams or otherwise. Anything cute.

Level Two: ???
Description: No data as of yet.

Level Three: ???
Description: No data as of yet.

Level Four: ???
Description: No data as of yet.

Level Five: ???
Description: No data as of yet.

A set of skills Xeion has vowed never to use unless the situation absolutely called for it. Each move requires intense concentration and a massive amount of skill to perform, in addition to using it in tandem with cosmic energy and normal reiatsu energy. These moves, in addition to being extremely difficult in nature, in turn, are extremely powerful. Countless hours of training have been put into them, so it was only natural for it to be so. If used, even a single one of these moves would be more than enough to terminate anything in existence without leaving a trace that it ever existed through the process of terminating the dimensional threads that allow an object to 'exist' in that dimension. This process has earned these move sets the name, 'Shadow Termination Skills', for their ability to wipe away a target's very existence.

Flicker
Type: Anti-Personnel/ Anti-Existence
Description: Xeion uses Elena's 'Silent Edge' ability to its fullest extent. Xeion draws Elena out and slashes a target an innumerable amount of times before sheathing Elena back into her scabbard as if nothing happened while the target disappears in a flurry of spirit particles which then scatter in the wind. The slashes happen at so fast a rate that the brilliant light effect Silent Edge attacks produce aren't even fully seen. The only thing anyone's eyes can see is a brief flash of light, hence the name. In addition to that, the Flicker dispatches a target without causing it any form of pain since the attacks occur even before the pain receptors in the target's body react to the sensation of being slashed.

A version of Xeion that comes out when the Angra Mainyu inside of him swells up to massive levels and manages to take over his entire being, although this event happens only once every year, specifically during the Halloween season since spirits are most active during Haloween, as Xeion usually keeps himself in-check so that the Angra Mainyu inside doesn't get out of hand and causes irreparable damage to the surrounding area, as well as those he loves. In this state, Xeion is called "Exia", which is derived from the Greek word, "Exousia", meaning "power". While he is Exia, Xeion becomes rather winsome at times, though mostly he acts somewhat like a private school bad boy, although not to the extent to be designated as "evil". Unlike Xeion, Exia has no sense of consequence and does what he pleases when he pleases, not caring if he exacerbates the situation at hand. However, just recently, Exia had shown signs of maturing, just like a normal human person, but this is all speculation. As of now, he is still considered as a very large threat to the world and everything in it.



La Parcae: Those Who Govern Over the Threads of Destiny
Type: Anti-Personnel/ Anti-Existence
Description: A general skill composed of three other sub-skills. By making use of his cursed eyes and Cosmic Energy, Exia is able to take out the Threads of Fate, the threads that dictate a target’s eventual destruction on any target that Exia comes in contact with. Depending on the place where Exia takes out the thread, he can either incapacitate, injure, break, or totally wipe away a target’s entire existence. As such, it ignores all physical and magical defenses and can even destroy physical and magical attacks as almost everything, except for things without beginning or end, is tied with the Threads of Destiny.

La Parcae: Nona
Description: Allows Exia to see the Threads of Fate on the target’s body which appear as red strings, similar to the Red Strings of Fate in Japanese folklore. Since everything is tied with a Thread of Fate, making it difficult to ascertain as to which thread belongs to which target if used as a whole, this ability also allows Exia to selectively see Threads from only those targets of Exia’s choosing.

La Parcae: Decima
Description: Allows Exia to hold the Threads of Fate and manipulate them in whatever way he wishes. It also gives him the ability to measure each Thread precisely just by touching them and be able to know as to which Thread is connected to which on the target’s body.

La Parcae: Morta
Description: Allows Exia to break the Threads of Fate through the act of pulling. Once the thread has been severed, the part of the target on which the thread is connected to will immediately feel the effects of the broken Thread. Depending on how much force Exia exerted in breaking the Thread, the part of the target on which the thread is connected to will either be incapacitated, injured, broken, or destroyed. Damages caused by the act of breaking a Thread cannot be healed or repaired until a new link to Fate has been established through time. The larger the damage, the longer it takes for a new link between Fate and the object to be established. However, this rule only applies to the first three effects caused by the breaking of a Thread. Objects that are destroyed by such an action naturally cannot be healed or repaired as it has already met its fated destruction. In this case, the Thread of Fate of that certain object simply disappears.

Alba Infernum: The Devouring One’s White Inferno
Type: Anti-World
Description: Using the powers of the Angra Mainyu, Exia creates a 100-square foot area with temperatures reaching up to a one-millionth degree near absolute zero, or -273.15 °C, since it is scientifically impossible to reach an exact absolute zero. By causing a dimensional distortion large enough to bend the reality in that certain area, Exia can then easily manipulate the surrounding area’s temperature via dimensional atomic manipulation, or manipulating atoms in another dimension wherein atoms are much easier to manipulate and control. The result of which is the creation of an ultra-cold state of matter, called the Bose-Einstein Condensate, in which atoms are chilled to such a point that they become a singular super-atom instead of separated atoms. At such extreme temperatures, unnatural things like molecular-level breakdowns start to become possible. For most who are endowed with the gift of being able to cast magic, like Shinigami and Quincy, lowering the temperature may be simple enough, but to do it to such an extent that it completely strains to their very limits the established Laws of Thermodynamics requires an incredible amount of power.
