Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Shikyo
Race: Soul Wisp
Type: Guardian
Form: Bleach (Ichigo Kurosaki)
Gender: Male
RP color: Bold Black
Personality: Nurturing
RP History:


Abilities:
Foolish Bravado - attack increases, at the cost of equal defense.

Intimidating Aura - summons up a huge, fiery blue aura that may frighten the foe. Larger the madder or more determined he is.

Zangetsu - summons a large sword. By condensing all his aura it becomes a thin black katana that is somewhat more powerful, and increases his speed a bit. He can use no other power while doing this. It is a pre-requisite for Bankai. Aura is released, only slightly used up, when he returns to the normal sword.

Bankai - his ultimate overdrive. He ignores previous injuries, as well as boosting his speed and strength. His entire aura is used up in performing this move, and it lasts only 11 seconds. While performing it, his mask covers his entire face.



Past:
"Hurry!" "It's not gonna work." "It'll work, shush!" "It'd better, or we're all screwed."
Five small children, none of them older than ten years, huddled around an irregular pentagram drawn with a burnt stick. "Isn't it 'posta be even?"
"I said shush! We gotta concentrate." The oldest grabbed the hands of two others. "Make a circle 'round it, quick!" They did, careful not to smudge the pitiful diagram. Young as they were, and as disillusioned with life, they hoped. Every one of them was a street orphan, bound together by a need to survive, as well as a need to have a family. Together, they had been able to survive, scrounging up enough food to survive, defending their shelter and belongings from the bigger, older, meaner kids. But now times were getting slimmer, and the older kids were getting meaner. Before, it had been too much trouble to try to take from their little group. No longer. They had tried hiding, but they had to go out for food, and their were too many other kids not to be seen. Their hiding place was secure, but not for much longer. They needed help.
The eldest, ten and lanky and genderless with youth and malnourishment, taught the others how to survive, as well as some basic schooling when there was time. To read, they had a motley collection of eclectic books and magazines that they found while hunting for food. Their favorites were the manga magazines, full of adventure, heroism, and exciting pictures. One such, along with a book of occult spells and summonings, had given them their last hope. They would summon a guardian to protect them.
At the eldest's signal, they began chanting, words in a strange language that none of them spoke or could even identify. They had practiced until even the youngest could say it perfectly, or as close as they could guess the pronunciation.
They repeated the words five times, whispering on the first verse, nearly shouting by the time they finished the fifth. In their hearts, they hoped and preyed. This was truly their last chance. If this didn't work, they would starve. That is, if the older kids didn't kill them outright.
As the last syllable echoed through the abandoned building they called their own, a frightened stray cat dashed across their pentacle, through a small hole in the wall that was the only entrance. As the echo died, the poorly drawn lines began to glow with a bright blue flame. Blue butterflies seemed to dance among the flames, formed of them and returning to them in an endless cycle. In the heart of the pentacle, a small black ball formed. It grew, and as it grew it began to unfurl into a humanoid form. It's skin was the shade of a normal human's, it's hair a bright orange that no human would ever have naturally. A red and white half-mask formed on the left side of it's face. When it opened it's eyes, the irises glowed yellow, and were surrounded by black rather than white. As it finished growing, a long, furry black tail sprouted behind, almost as an afterthought. The flames disappeared, and only a few blue butterflies remained. It blinked it's black and yellow eyes.
"What the hell. Where am I? And why do I have a tail!!"

Shikyo defended his charges as they grew up. He would not allow them to bully the older kids, but he made sure they got their share of what meager pickings were available. Soon they were the older kids, though new children, small and helpless as they had once been, joined them for protection. They grew up. Some even managed, despite the odds against them to get jobs. Maybe just flipping burgers or some other menial, low paying job, but it was something. Their wages bought fresh food for the family, clothes and blankets for the colder months. Some of the brighter ones worked their way up. They managed a fast food restaurant. Owned a small shop. They started a fund to help the family, and others like them. Small and abandoned, unable to survive without help. The fund was small, but it got noticed. Soon, others started contributing. People or companies with wealth to spare. The old, abandoned building was turned into a building with beds, clothes, plain but nourishing meals served three times a day. Children flocked to it. Filled it to bursting. It grew, taking over the buildings around it until it was an entire complex.
Shikyo watched as he became obsolete, and was glad for his family. He was forgotten by all but the original members, many had never even known he existed. None could see him anymore. It made him a little sad, even though it meant they no longer needed him to guard them. He watched over them still for a while. Then, his work complete, he moved on to the world of the dead.

Personality:


Abilities:


Past:
Ketul first encountered Teg when the small boy stumbled into the chamber he was guardian of. It did not matter that his master was long dead, caught in his misdeeds and hanged. Nor that his master, whom he could barely remember, it had been so long, had been cruel. He had his task, he could not abandon it.
But the task required little of him. It had been centuries since anyone else had found their way here. The entrance was well hidden, the labyrinth convoluted. The door to the treasure chamber was magicked to appear as a solid wall. That the boy found his way was pure chance, and did him no good. He was too tired and worn to escape, even if Ketul would allow it. Even if the door would not block his exit, and the boy found the quickest and easiest path out, taking nothing to burden him and sap his strength. So, when the boy fell into exhausted slumber, he used a small wisp of his power to keep him there, calm and dreamless, through what would have been a long and painful death. He watched and waited as the boy's spirit separated from his body, floating unaware and unchanging as the body decayed to bones and dust.
And so he was watching as the spirit slowly began to condense and take shape. Form a sort of head and tail, like an upside-down teardrop, with tiny little arms. Green with silver tendrils, matching the carpet which was the last thing the boy had seen while alive. Watched as bright silver eyes opened, as they filled with confusion and fear.
