Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, I think I'd like to join this division, so here is my rp sample.

"In times of war there are such tragic scenes as this, those who cannot help themselves laid out to the slaughter, their blood soaked into the ground as if they were but rain meant for the earth to drink. And yet no matter how many have fallen before our eyes, our hands still fail to act to protect the souls flames of the future. But what if in fact the method by which we are struck is one beyond out imagination, do we still take fault for what has come to pass, or do we pass along the blame to inexperience? And can we truly own up to those who've passed along without us even if we shed the weight of their loss in blood soaked revenge?"

Taishiji stepped onto the grounds of what was one the academy, it was the first place he had been escorted to when he had arrived here, by the man whom he had once proudly called captain, but this was not a time for remembering such pleasant memories, nor was it a time to mourn over those who had fallen to the hunger of the hollows and the brutality of the vasto lorde, neither would bring back those who had fallen, neither would earn the thanks of the loved ones who were left behind. The only thing that could be done now was what had been done for years, for years and years and yet many wounds never completely healed. This one particularly would cut very deeply, and even he was not sure when the night would come when the images would blend into the others instead of shining brightly. Placing his hand upon the hilt of Kunimitsu, Taishiji took note of the sheer amount of hollows which were left since the other captains had begun to strike them down. The amount was still sizable and their presence was strong, a well of hunger which could not possibly be filled, far greater than any of the students in the academy could handle. If only he knew how it had happened, how they had managed to do so much damage without being noticed long before, and for a lorde to come, there had to be a reason, a very good reason at that.

Taishiji reached over with his right hand, grasping it tightly as a Hollow which had become slightly less interested with the corpse hung limply from it's jaws, surged towards him. A disgusting creature it was, the sound of it's movements was akin to that of a husk, bones and muscles, there was no rhytmn, there was no pattern, just the uncontrollable lust to feed. He searched it's body as it continued to rush towards him, pushing aside rubble that was in the way, crushing the fallen underfoot with careless step. It was annoying, everything about it was annoying, this disgusting mockery of life, how arrogantly it trampled those who still had futures. He wanted to kill it, he wanted to destroy it, it had been a long time since he had felt this way, but again, it had been a long time since he had seen something which reminded him of the war in the times in which he lived. The continued existence of this creature was simply unforgivable.

Drawing out Kunimitsu from it's sheathe, Taishighi held the blade to his side, edge point directed towards the ground. As the Hollow grew closer Taishiji turned his blade over slightly so that the edge was facing the beast, he wanted to finish this one quickly and without effort, to end it's existence as it had all those who lay in shambles around it. Suddenly the Hollow was upon him, having pushed aside the last piece of rubble and thrust towards the captain a great claw, as if wanting to rend him flesh from bone. It was fast, but not nearly fast enough; he could see the lines of counter, each path he could take in order to maximize the damage for the minimum amount of movement. He took a step towards the Hollow, meeting it one third of the way and swung his blade, meeting the Hollows great hand two thirds of the way. He was not holding back, which became evident as the blade began to cut and slice through the arm of the beast, it's blood pouring out, staining the ground even further.

The painful howl fell upon deaf ears as a large segment of the Hollows arm fell to the side with a loud thud. Turning it's great head, as if wanting to strike out at the captain once more, it was met with Kunimitsu's edge. Taishiji, had in the time it took the Hollow to turn and face him, used the momentum of his previous cut to bring Kunimitsu above his head, pausing only to look into the abominations eyes before sending it to hell.

"It does not bring any of them back, but it goes a little ways to express my apologies."

Taishiji is the captain. Sorry for the confusion, it's just a style element which allows me to switch out his name with his title. But yeah, I can see how that might not be clear from the outset.

Hi, I would like to join squad 2 in the Seireitei--I sent this rp sample to littlebick and she said it was ok, but I should check with the captain first.

RP sample:
Asano's twin zanpakutos sliced through thin air, missing the hollow by mere inches. The hollow was surprisingly fast for its size; already Asano had taken two full blows to his left shoulder, the wounds bleeding profusely. The hollow roared towards the skies, and the very sound of it seemed to mock Asano. Clutching his paired zanpakutos tightly, Asano uttered a single roar of sheer determination. Around him, immobile and unconcious bodies were littered all over the ground, leaving only Asano. Only his relatively quick speed had saved him from sure death when the hollow aimed a hooked claw at his stomach.

The hollow stopped and glanced at this young shinigami, surprised. Narrowing its eyes in an amused way, it drew its arm back and aimed a fast punch at Asano's head which would definitely crush it if it connected. Seeing this, Asano moved like chain lightning. Ducking, sideways, forwards and jump. He landed gracefully on the creature's arm, and without a moment to waste he dashed straight up its arm, until he reached its shoulder. Before the hollow had any time to react, Asano roared and stabbed his twin zanpakutos straight into the hollow's neck, killing it before it realised it. Somersaulting backwards and landing on the ground, Asano noted his handiwork with satisfaction. He slung two of his comerades' unconcious bodies over his shoulder, and headed off to the squad barracks.

((I hope it's good enough!!))

((Thanks a lot!! *Does the soulja boy dance* mrgreen ))

lol.. win ^^

Nearly nobody goes after those rogue shinigami! And they deserve to be killed! Mostly, everyone hunts hollows, but I liked this Rp. Very nicely done 3nodding

Accepted!

Get a profile posted up and it might be a good idea to get on down to the "In Memory" thread since there's a massive invasion of arrancar going on this very minute and the shinigami are forced to evacuate to Earth! Most of the squad's assembled there, the Primera Espada's there, too, and we're all having a *marvelous* time (/sarcasm). Don't want you to get left out (or left behind). If the situation is at all confusing, read up on the Time Skip thread posted in the main forum (and also ask me if you have any questions XD).

Welcome to the squad!

Fail.
blaugh

alright... Fail divided by two.... whee
