Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Alma Ojeda

Number: 100

Aliases/ Nicknames: Perfer's to be called Alma.

Physical Description: Alma is 5'3" with a light build, and unruly light green hair. Her muscles are small, but very powerful. She has smooth skin which is very sturdy and strong. She normally dresses in an inverted shinigami uniform as most arrancar do, but she has a green lining instead of black. Sometimes she wander around barefoot, but always walks with her back upright with a slight slouch. She's not very well "endowed" but to her this is a blessing, and wouldn't have it any other way. She retains the yellow eyes of a hollow, but when angered they're flushed with a dark green color. She has a slender slightly oval shaped face with average features, but seems beautiful somehow even though she appears plain. Her mask is a small scaley lizard esquie peice.

Zanpaku-to: Sarina's zanpaku-to is unique in that it is a serrated katana. Her zanpaku-to is design to shred away armor, and destroy flesh completely. Sarina's wicked personality caused her zanpaku-to to take on the most sadistic form her mind could imagine. It is based on stripping away any protection, and exposing the source of the target. This includes clothing and armor as the blade is very sharp and sturdy. (http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/13000332/Images/8/japanese-sword-f-95208-0.jpg <- Kind of like this.)


Ressureccion: Alma's Ressureccion is that of a Kimodo Dragon, and is called by the phrase "Annihilate those in my path, Varano de Kimodo!" After the Ressureccion is activated Alma switches back to most of her original hollow appearance. She gains a large lizard/dragon mask surrounding her face from view, and the white hollow skin envelopes her body. This alters her body to make her grow scales, and also forms a long tail and claws on both her hands and feet. Alma herself developes fangs that seep with deadly bacteria that could kill a bitten prey within a few hours, or minutes to an hour if they pushed themselves too hard. (this of course will not kill anyone here as it would only work on small hollows, and some adjuchas, but will instead wreak havoc on the body to slow it down.) She is very fast in this form as well as having a decent amount of defense, but her speed is her strongest attribute. She isn't the strongest Arrancar, but her speed and powerful Hierro make up for it. Her scales work much like her katana in that they will begin to shred armor, or clothing they come into contact with assuming it has force behind it. Her tail is the main aspect of this as she will use it like she did her sword, but with more power and range behind it. She doesn't have much in the way of powers as her body is her weapon in ressureccion form. She does have one power however which is the ability to fire her scales which will explode upon contact. This ability has the downside of exposing a soft spot until they regenerate.

Special Accessories: Alma carries no special things with her in particular other than her zanpaku-to.

Abilities: A genious when it comes to anything reiatsu based, and is very good at martial arts. She's not the best sword fighter though, and mostly uses her agility to fight. She is great when it comes to dodging, sonido, and ceros often combining them for an explosive attack.

Personality: She is a kind girl for the most part, but very serious when it comes to missions and fighting. She has a bit of a short fuse, and is known to attack without desrection when angered.

Biography/History: Alma grew up being bullied for her hair, and grew to hate and despise all but a few people. In the end she died by the hand of her 'friends' and devoured them soon after she became a hollow. She was always gifted, and when it came to becoming a menos her mind easily over powered the others to take control. From then on she was determined to become the strongest hollow, and ended up in a chance encounter with Aizen.

Powers:
Sonido; Cero; Hierro; Bala; and her scale attack.

((hope this is acceptable @_@))

[I am temporarily retracting my application. I will most likely be creating / updating a new one soon. Thank you for your patience. ^_^]

I like what I see, SDD ^^

One thing you'll have to explain to me-- those custom powers? How do you use them, exactly? I mean, if you were in a battle and wanted to use them, what exactly would you do? I'm not saying they're bad or anything. Just that I might ask you to reserve them for if/when you get an Espada position. They're not really in keeping with your resurreccion, so they'd be considered custom/specialty attacks that have a place in an Espada's arsenal only.

Also, your pheromone techniques are great. Just be sure to watch how you use them so they don't seem like powerplays. Also realize that, although it's a great power, some of your fights will be frustrating. People don't like to be manipulated so they'll go to great lengths to "filter your pheromones out of the air they breathe" or something stupid like that. It happens with my Shadows too and it can really piss you off. Just don't be discouraged ^^

And yes, the role-play is required. It can be about anything! Just look back and see what sorts of things people have done in the past.

Thank you very much. biggrin That rhymed!!!! You're one of my favorite leaders now...



They're just like cero and all that, normal things he would use, ya know? I made these like... a year ago, and they've been almost the only thing my OC arrancar have had in common since. biggrin Just something to make him even more unique.

Hmm, but I'd say the portals would be a mental thing. Like he just thinks about it and they open, ya know. And Enclavar would be shot much like a cero, but obviously on a smaller scale.



Yeah, I figure people will get all angsty and everything. Let's see 'em get like that when different pheromones are in the air and it's all but impossible to dodge then! They'll be as emotionally confused as any stupid teenager! -is a young adult-
I will endeavor to not be power-playing.



Okay, give me a bit to think one up.

((Here is my completed application. I hope everything is up to par, and that the resurection is not to overboard. If you would like to see any changes, I can produce them immediately. ^_^))

Name: Bikou (Shadow)

Number: Not Sure

Aliases/ Nicknames: None

Physical Description: Bikou is very strange, to say the least, and most are uneasy at the mere sight of his appearance. His hair is a light shade of silver, ending at the nape of his neck, and with long bangs that often cover his eyes. His face is slender, and almost snake-like in appearance, but also strangely beautiful, with sharp, piercing silver eyes.
His shoulders are slender, like the rest of his form, but also broad, and muscular. His torso and limbs are well-toned, but bear a certain lithe appearance that gives thought to a dancers build.
In lieu of the traditional arrancar attire, Bikou chooses to wear a tight black variation, with a high-neck, and sleeveless. He chooses to keep the location of his hollow-hole a secret, but it is believed to be in the same location as his heart.
His mask is broken into two fragments. The first, and most visible, is in the form of a small crown made of pure silver, and the second, less visible is his eyes themselves, reflecting the true nature of his release.

Zanpakuto & Resurreccion:

Zenhansha (Total Reflection)

Sealed: Zenhansha

Release Phrase: "Kagami, Zenhansha" (Mirror, Total Reflection)

Note - While this is the true release phrase of Zenhansha, it also utilizes several separate release phrases in order to access other abilities.

Zenhansha's power can be loosely described as the ability to mimic the target's powers, more specifically, the abilities of their zanpakuto, doll, bow, or human power, depending on the race in question.
More specifically, it creates an exact copy, including all of it's abilities, natural or otherwise, for as long as Bikou remains in his release state.
Through this power, Bikou can store up to three (3) copies within Zenhansha, and can call them out whenever he pleases, using the release phrase, or command phrase of the targeted copy. In addition, when Bikou copies a person's abilities, he also copies their form perfectly, mimicking even their voice and mannerisms.
The only way to tell the difference between Bikou and the "true" copied person, is the fact that he does not steal memories, only abilities, and would not be able to answer personal questions.

In order to copy a person's powers, he must first either come into direct contact with said person, or their weapon, see, or feel their weapon being used. In this manner he may copy a person's zanpakuto, and use all of its stages of release, even if the person he copied it from has not achieved that stage of release. (In order to copy a sealed zanpakuto, he must come into contact with it.)
If Bikou chooses to release his sword without selecting a copied ability to mimic, he appears as a mirror-form of himself, that is to say, his skin becomes that of a liquid mirror, and reflects light, as well as maintains the ability to blend in with his surroundings.

When using a copied weapon, Bikou must master its use before obtaining maximum potential with said abilities. This normally takes him around ten-to-twelve posts of active use, as he assimilates very quickly.

Due to his powers of mimicry, Bikou has an extremely high resistance to non-physical effects of others abilities or weapons. (i.e emotional, etc.) Typically, the effects will only last for a few seconds, after which he will gain an understanding of said effects, and they will no longer effect him.

Special Accessories:

Metsuki Hebi (Expression of Snake eyes)
Bikou wears a silver earring in his left ear, fashioned in the shape of a downwards facing snake. This earring can produce a single, high-pitched note, which will reveal the emotions of everyone within one-hundred yards of Bikou, to Bikou.

Abilities:

Extremely Agile

Cobra-Style Kung-fu

Personality:
If one word was used to describe Bikou, it would be dark. He enjoys seeing others squirm, and holds a very special hatred towards humans and Quincy. To such an extent that he refuses to copy a Quincy bow or human ability, despite being able to.
Bikou is also a loner, and despises idle chatter, choosing instead to spend his time studying his surroundings and potential opponents.
He has little respect for other Arrancar, but hides it very well, feigning politeness when in the presence of a "superior."
Key words: Loner, Dark, Calm, Introverted, Introspective.

Biography/History:
Bikou was once a prominent figure in human society, and held several positions of power in greater Tokyo.
However, during the course of his life, he acquired many enemies, so many in fact, that he was assassinated in his main office building while preparing for a morning proposal.
Due to the manner of his death, Bikou intentionally discarded his name, and all memories of his past life, choosing instead to become an empty soul. Because of this, his soul-chain shattered, and he was transformed into a hollow.
Consumed with hatred for his fellow man, Bikou went on a rampage, slaughtering hundreds of men, women, and children from his old business firms, until he eventually attracted the attention of his town's shinigami, who proceeded to attack and attempt to kill Bikou. The release of reiatsu resulting from the fight attracted many powerful hollow, and Bikou, as well as the shinigami, was devoured during the chaos that ensued.
For the next three years, Bikou was a shadow in the back of the dominant hollow's mind, biding his time as the brute assaulted and killed countless hollow, rising in power, and rank. As the dominant hollow ascended into Adjuchas, Bikou's wait was over. Violently, he seized control of the body, destroying the brutish mind of the previous hollow in the process.
As the ascension completed, Bikou let out a long roar of victory, attracting many other Adjuchas to his location, each intent on devouring the others.
It was during this fight that Bikou realized his own abilities, and used them to dominate those hollow in attendance, the resulting power obtained transforming him into a Vasto Lorde.
Shortly after his ascension, Bikou encountered Aizen's group, intially attacking them out of pure instinct, but after being ruthlessly subdued, temporarily bowing to Aizen's wishes, and completed his transformation into Arrancar with the removal of his mask.

Powers:

* Bala (bara; Spanish for "Bullet," Japanese for "Hollow Bullet") Bala is an Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate, but the damage is much the same. Stronger Arrancar can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.

* Cero (sero; Spanish for "Zero," Japanese for "Hollow Flash," "Doom Blast" in the Viz translation) are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only Gillians, Adjuchas, Arrancar, and the Vizards have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently.
Color: Black
Prefered Firing Location: Index finger

* Garganta (garuganta; Spanish for "Throat," Japanese for "Black Cavity") is how Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Kaname Tōsen and Kisuke Urahara have also demonstrated the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.

* Hierro (iero; Spanish for "Iron," Japanese for "Steel Skin") refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar generally have proportionally stronger skin than usual.

* Negación (negashion; Spanish for "Negation," Japanese for "Anti-Membrane") are energy fields are used to rescue fellow Hollows. Only the Gillian-class Menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the Menos that created the field. Espada have a special cube-shaped device called Caja Negación (kaha negashion; Spanish for "Negation Box," Japanese for "Anti-Membrane of Negation") meant to simulate Negación fields, which are used to punish their subordinates if necessary. The cube, when used on a subject, traps them in an alternate dimension from which there is no escape; however, this assumes it is being used as intended. More powerful Arrancar, namely the Espada themselves, can escape given enough time.

* Pesquisa (pesukisa; Spanish for "Inquiry," Japanese for "Probe Circuit") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions very similarly to sonar.

* Resurrección (resurekushion; Spanish for "Resurrection," Japanese for "Returning Blade") Most Arrancar have the ability to seal their power within a Zanpakutō. Upon releasing their Zanpakutō, they gain all of their former unique Hollow abilities back, essentially 'resurrecting' their old selves. When using this ability, they essentially combine their human form and their Hollow form, incidentally increasing their power considerably. As another note, when an Arrancar uses his or her Resurrección, it heals all minor wounds.

* Sonído (Spanish for "Sound," Japanese for "Sound Ceremony") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound caused by Flash Steps.

Role-Play Example:

The sky of Los Noches was particularly dark that night, with only a few sparse areas of visibility able to be seen in the Menos Forest.
Bikou had been waiting in the same location for nearly twelve hours, patient, unmoving. He had sensed a reiatsu signature unlike anything he had ever felt before, and was anxious for the promise of new power. What he found however, was something entirely different.
Aizen, Tousen, and Ichimaru had entered the Menos Forest some fourteen hours prior, and were searching for candidates for their Arrancar plan. As it happened, their movements would bring them through the area where Bikou made his home.
As the three shinigami appeared before him, Bikou began to grow excited. Most could not stand in his presence, let alone fight him, and this promised to be an especially delicious meal.
With a burst of sonido, he appeared before Aizen, silver eyes and mirrored skin making it near impossible to make out his form. It came as a surprise then, when the shinigami effortlessly stopped his attack, and when both of the others soon had their blades at his neck.

"And you are?" The apparent leader of the group questioned, examining Bikou's semi-transparent hand. "I have not seen a hollow such as yourself before, you almost seem.. unique."

Bikou glared rays of hatred at the man. He despised all things that spoke down to him, and yet, being in such close proximity to him, he knew that he could not win this fight.
"My name is of little consequence." He muttered, "More importantly, what are you doing in my forest?"
Bikou had long since considered the area to be 'his' forest, and had been slaughtering all who passed by his nest, ruthlessly devouring them like fodder.
The man's laughter reached Bikou's ears, and his stare of hatred grew more pronounced.

"I am Aizen, Aizen Sosuke. and I believe we can help eachother to achieve are respected goals." The man's smile widened, and he released Bikou's hand, although the shinigami to either side of him did not lower their swords.

"How could you assist me?" Bikou spat, looking Aizen up and down with disdain. "You are naught but a lowely shinigami. I would rather die than help your kind."

More laughter, this Aizen, while powerful was beginning to grate on Bikou's nerves. Abruptly, the shinigami to Aizen's right knocked Bikou to the ground, pressing him down with his foot. Aizen leaned in close, and held out a strange purple device which resembled a gem.
"With this, little hollow, I can give you more power than you can dream of."

At the mention of power, Bikou's inner defense snapped. He didn't care who this man was, or what his end goals were, if he could add more power to his form, that was enough for him.
"If what you say is true, than we can indeed help eachother." He said with a sly grin, knocking aside the blind shinigami's foot with a sharp swipe of his hand.
Slowly, he stood, never taking his eyes from the crystal. "Do your thing, b***h." He hissed, his smile turning into a feral snarl.

((I hope that is enough for the RP sample, I can provide more if you wish.))

Name: Volinerco Seeley; [Sea-la-ee(First Name) – Voh-lin-erh-ko]


Rank/number: (I'm not sure if we can just choose a number or whatever, so like. I chose. :/) 82.


Physical Description: Mute; This character is mute(Can’t speak). Seeley is a rather slender girl, thou she may look small and fragile, she is able to stand on her won, plus carry someone if needed. Her long locks of hair are red with a maroon tint; her bangs are rather messy and tend to feather around her face. Seeley has wide vivid silver eyes encased with dark red lashes that are tremendously filled with her emotions. Her face is beautiful, yet dangerous at the same time; she usually carries a scowl or some other negative expression.

Hollow Mask for Seeley isn’t much of a mask at all, it’s more of a dot; a small white dot on top of her head, which resembles a seed of a flower. In her resurrection form the seed grows into blooming Camellia that then encases her head, but not her eyes. The flower grows large leaves that wrap around her body covering every part, much like a body suit; the suit is made of bone, and so it is white. Her legs then come to a point at her feet, but Seeley is a well balanced person and is able to stay standing with no feet.

Her outfit is rather strange, compared to others instead of having complex clothes she wears a simple dress, depending on how she feels she will either wear a black one or a white one. The dress is mid thigh lengthed and is held up by two broad straps, it is also encircled by a large ribbon that is tied in the back as a bow, it is the same color of the dress itself. Instead of using her medium sized breasts as a distraction like other women, Seeley hides them away in the straight collared dress.

xSeeley’s Hollow Hole is located on the back of her skull, when her mouth is open you can see all the way through her mouth to her red waves of hair.



Zanpakutō:
Canción De Cuna [ Lullaby ];
A long and slender sword painted in pure silver, including the hilt which has white diamonds vertically across it. In all means, it’s not very significant. The only real importance is the way Seeley holds it. Instead of having the tip pointed to the sky it points to the ground. This at times is a good thing and a bad thing. In this state it has no significant attack; it’s just used like a normal sword. And not being a great swordsman Seeley relies on her Cero.

Resurrection [Currently not attained]
“Sosegar, Cancion De Cuna” Sosegar translates to Lull, lull means to calm, soothe, or quiet. In the resurrection her Zanpakutō become rusty and rigged with what seemed like misuse of the weapon, almost like a downgrade in a way. The rust itself is the key point of the attacks; if the rust is inserted into the body threw a wound it will almost immediately ‘calm’ the area, depending on the severity of the wound the calming can result in:
x Limbs going limp.
x Organs slowing.
x Healing Abilities Slowing
x Senses
If the wound is not deep enough, the body will not feel the injury, because of the calming from the rust. But, once Cancion De Cuna returns to its original form the soothing of the rust stops; this then sends a shock to the body from the abrupt pain.

The rust can also be used as healing, like a sedative. In order to get the rust inside Seeley must stab directly into the cut causing terrible pain, but then fades into a calm state.


Powers:
Bala (虚弾 (バラ), bara; Spanish for "Bullet," Japanese for "Hollow Bullet") Bala is an Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate, but the damage is much the same. Stronger Arrancar can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.

Cero (虚閃 (セロ), sero; Spanish for "Zero," Japanese for "Hollow Flash," "Doom Blast" in the Viz translation) are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only Gillians, Adjuchas, Arrancar, and the Vizards have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently. Various Arrancar and Hollow characters display variants of the technique, such as the Espada-exclusive Gran Rey Cero, the Cero Oscuras that Ulquiorra Cifer can use only in his released form, as well as the Cero Sincrético performed by Pesche Guatische and Dondochakka Bilstin.

Garganta (黒腔 (ガルガンタ), garuganta; Spanish for "Throat," Japanese for "Black Cavity") is how Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Kaname Tōsen and Kisuke Urahara have also demonstrated the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.

Hierro (鋼皮 (イエロ), iero; Spanish for "Iron," Japanese for "Steel Skin") refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar generally have proportionally stronger skin than usual.

Pesquisa (探査回路 (ペスキス), pesukisa; Spanish for "Inquiry," Japanese for "Probe Circuit") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions very similarly to sonar.

Sonído (響転 (ソニード), sonīdo; Spanish for "Sound," Japanese for "Sound Ceremony") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound caused by Flash Steps.


Personality: The young girl is quite, obviously since she can’t talk, but if she could she’d still be quiet. But if you observe her you will be able to recognize that she is brave, closed-off, determined, and serene. Willing to do anything, or try anything if the situation needs so. Seeley usually also keeps to herself, and tends to lean away from relationships with others. So don’t expect her to be friendly. If Seeley has to do something she won’t stop until it is indeed done. Seeley is a very tranquil girl, she can keep herself calm in harsh situations and doesn’t lose her temper during battles.



Biography/History: Seeley resided in Karakura Town, and lived as a anonymous vocalist, who usually sang for high classed parties or bars. Before she had taken on the life of a singer she was disowned by her family, left to be alone and fend for her own life. Still being a high school student Seeley had little time to find a place to stay, go to school, and find a job. She resorted to Karakura Park, sleeping on benches and listening to the birds sing. On one particular day Seeley sang along with the birds songs, only to be ambushed by questions from a man. The man worked for a club and wished to hire her for entertainment purposes. Immediately she took the job and quickly got her life back. After a while other places wished to hire her voice. In fact life was going great; the jobs were making her one of the most well paid people in Karakura.

But life eventually has to stop its happy streak, and on a cold fall night it ended Seeley’s. Homicide, the cops decided. In fact it was very obvious that she had struggled but in the end, her voice box was cut out of her throat.
