Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Ah, okay, cause Kaosu seems to be very intelligent yet his stats don't really reflect that, that's my concern xd )

Kaosu was very confident with himself as he stood with a decent form, though it was slowly becoming shaky. The pose he was in was, at closest example, something of a moderate 'Electric Chair' stance. It wasn't as extreme, but close. "Okay. Next phase."

Considering how easy the stance was, how hard could be moving?

Kaosu took his left foot and placed it across his body, and fell down. He quickly pulled himself back up and slammed his limbs back into stance. That's okay. He told himself. Just a mistake...move on.

Again, he tried moving, focusing around the tree trunk. He this time focused hard on his footwork, trying to keep his balance while moving. However, as he was focusing so hard on the working of his feet, he didn't notice his arms relaxing into a more 'comfortable' position. When he finally realized it, he slapped his forehead and quickly took the Bear once again.

When he tried walking again, on the upper part of his foot like the stance asks for, he tried balancing his attention on the footwork AND the stance he had set up. This time, he managed to take two uneasy steps before he landed face-first onto the ground.

He layed there for a while, mostly 'talking' to his zanpaku-to avatar. What am I doing wrong? I'm following the instructions perfectly...so what's wrong?
Probably your body and brain aren't coordinated enough to complete this task? The man's voice replied, lazy and amused. That Tsai character, though. He'd probably be able to help you...

At this, Kaosu jumped up and shouted at the top of his lungs, sure practically anyone with ears could hear him. "GODDAMN YOU, YOU STUPID SPIRIT OF A SWORD! THAT'S THE LAST THING ON MY MIND!!!" Kaosu stood and breathed for a good half-minute or so. "I'm tired of depending on others for my well-being. They don't depend on anyone. No, they are completely dependent as far as I see it. But who isn't? Me. I'm not. No, I go to everyone for help. 'How do you do this?' I ask. 'Hey, Tsai, can you help me?' I plead. I'm tired of it. I enjoy Tsai's regiment, and I'll go back to that. Otherwise, I must learn to be self-dependent."

Oh, really? And just how do expect to achieve that? The voice chuckled. You can't even utilize a simple stance from a book.

"Let's see you do it, HOTSHOT!" Kaosu challenged, anger growing.
Maybe sometime later. For now, practice. The voice chuckled as he added, Everyone who heard your rant knows you'll be needing it.

Kaosu growled. If there was a brick, it would be broken over the guy's head. If only he could see him right now...

Kaosu felt like giving up. And, he kind of did. "Not right now, I don't." Kaosu kicked a pebble as he retrieved his zanpaku-to. "I wonder what I'll do now...maybe visit Tsai or something."

And so, with that, Kaosu left the meadow.

The voice dropped to a level of seriousness Kaosu had never heard before. Basically, a vizard is an illegal mix of a shinigami and a hollow. It is a shinigami that has been fused with a hollow. So basically the shinigami will retain their own kido, shunpo, and zanpaku-to abilities, but they will have the combined strength of a hollow, maybe an intellegence, and sometimes the ability to use Cero."

Kaosu just stared at that word. Vizard. Kaosu looked up. "It's...illegal? How so? It was a law put forth by the Soul Society long ago. Probably from the 46. Kaosu now stared into the sky hungrily. A shinigami with the strength of a hollow...

All of a sudden a deep, heavy chill crept down his body as his zanpaku-to avatar roared, DON'T EVEN BEGIN THINKING ABOUT IT! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? A SHINIGAMI THAT FUSES WITH A HOLLOW WILL NOT ONLY BE BANISHED, BUT THEY COULD BE KILLED! Kaosu smiled despite the painful cold. "Do you honestly think I'd do that? Boy, you need to get to know me a little better."

Despite what he said, Kaosu couldn't help thinking about it. A shinigami's power and a hollow's...that has to be one of the most potent combinations in the entire universe! But...would I have to go to that...um...Hueco Mundo place? Hmm...I'll ask Tsai without being too conspicuous.

((May I join you, Kaosu?))

Ugu walked through the forest, minding his own business, when he heard a wild scream from nearby. It sounded like the hollering of a certain student of his, whoms name most likely was Kaosu. Probably. It might have been Zaviel, or one of the more harsher shinigami from the academy. Maybe. Or it might be some unknown shinigami attempting to attain Shikai.

That was pure speculation, but it was enough to prod the giant into attempting to finding the person.

Ugu looked through the trees at the yelling shinigami. He frowned as he watched the raving and the anger of the young man at his weakness. Then the elder shinigami smiled as he noted Kasou's noticing of his presence. 'No point in hiding from him', he thought to himself as he moved out of the bushes.

However, before he could move more than an inch, he stopped. An evil thought occurred to Ugu. He let out a portion of reiatsu in order to 'press' the environment around him. Thin strokes blended into the man's vision as he pressed the younger shinigami with his reiatsu. It then occurred to the shinigami that he hasn't let his reiatsu flare for quite a long time.

[Reiatsu 'Pressing': 1d20+12]

The spirit force then stopped its pressuring. It withdrew back into the 7'1 shinigami, and Ugu stepped forth from the bushes. His eyes adjusted back to the sunlight that radiated down from the sky and his eyes quickly focused on Kaosu. A smile kept on his lips as he spoke to the younger shinigami," Hello, Kaosu. How are you?"

His lime eyes went to the small book on the ground several feet away from Kaosu. " 'The Most Renowned and Feared Shinigami in Soul Society'? It's a good read." The large man walked forward some more and bent down to pick up the book. He flipped to page 19, to the introductory section of the small tome, and showed the page to the shinigami student. "Name: Ugu Zenmaru, Age: 652, Height: 7'1", Race: Shinigami," Ugu read off, as if by memory.

A photograph graced the picture, too, that had a tall man on it. Wearing black shinigami robes, and holding an obscenely long zanpakotou in the air, the man in the photograph looked like a near-psychotic looking berserker. Still smiling, the shinigami closed the book. "There's a small paragraph about me in there. You probably already know everything in there already, though, since you've probably already seen me use my healing techniques and my zanpakutou's healing abilities."

"So how are you? Why are you out here?"

"The dorms? Bah. They're better than what they used to be. There was mold everywhere in my room, and I could never get anywhere without stepping in month-old garbage. That's why I slept out in the forest.." The man laughed. "Looks like we think alike, Kaosu." His smile turned into a frown as Kaosu spoke about failure.

"Y'know.. I only got a paragraph where others got whole chapters dedicated to them. Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, I think, got about eight pages specifically dedicated to him." He chuckled to himself. "I, on the other hand, got about ten times less than that." The man sat down on the grassy ground and shifted his pack onto the ground too. "Failure, neh? Do you know how many times I barely survived against hollows? The place where I slept, as already mentioned, was in a forest -way- out of Sereiti."

"So far away that Soul Society's guards didn't patrol it. It brought me a lot of trouble from hollows. An untrained, reckless, and unprepared shinigami with a lot of reiatsu.. The perfect target for a hungry hollow. I remember one time where I nearly got my arm ripped off by a low level hollow." The man laughed. "But that hollow, if I faced him again, I could probably kill him with a flick of my pinkie."

"And then there was this time I lost at the First Squad tournament. That was before your time, though, and doesn't matter that much." He paused then, thinking about his own failures. "You have no idea how badly I've bee.. Actually. I can show you how many failures I've had." The elder shinigami shifted his hands to the coifs of his obi. He pulled at the sides of his robe and brought down the black upper-piece clothing his chest. It revealed a scar-laiden chest.

((Note: Ripped from my character's biography)) Ugu also had several scars on his right hand, which are long and looked to have been rather deep cuts that stretched up to his shoulder. Several thousand small un stitched slashes are along his upper pecs and neck, where he had been thrashed around by plenty of training sessions. Then the shinigami has a long white scar on his lower spine perpendicular to his spinal cord. On the right side of his back the shinigami also has a circular spiral marking that was caused by a Kodou technique.

On his legs he has more than a hundred major scars. Over all, though, only eight appear out of the ordinary. The first of the scars is along his left hip and it extends down to his left ankle. A jagged sword slice is also on the back of his right quadracep. With those two, another scar is on the shinigami's right foot stretching from the teenager's big toe to his knee.

Both of his hands are heavily scarred as well. His knuckles have been thrashed around doing deflections of other shinigami's weapons at a faster pace than the shinigami's current level (when training). The veins on the top of the shinigami's hands have been completely covered by at least a hundred thunder bolt shaped scars that were caused by his training.

Also, along with those many scars, a large 'cross shaped' scar stretches from his chest around his body to continue and cross again on his back. Just below that rather large scar a long circle that goes around his waist. The lines, if they should be called thus, look to be from chains being tied around his chest. Huge bruises and scars sorround those two huge gashes in his skin.

"See?"
