- Username: Tategami Maya - Character Name: Midori - Pronunciation of the Name: Mih-DOH-ree - Affiliation:Hueco Mundo, Takafuno Yaanichi - Character Number/Rank: Fraccion || Decima Espada - Espada: [ 4 ] - SexualityHeterosexual - Character PersonalityMidori is bright and bubbly, somewhat naughty by nature but just as well. She loves playing with the children that reside in Soul Society, and it is through them that she picked up her cheerful mannerisms and childlike demeanor. She is very curious and loves to try new things with her pint sized companions, and while she hasn't quite mastered her fairly new Arrancar abilities, she is quite in control of herself ... for the most part.
However, when fighting a serious opponent, Midori is often as ruthless as she was as a Hollow. She is oft times impatient and impulsive, typical traits of a Hollow turned Arrancar, though she is different from her peers by far.
Midori is sometimes pensive, though it is rare for her to allow anyone to see her in this state.
Finally, Midori is playfully flirtatious, if naïve. She know enough to flirt correctly, but has yet to gain any experience in the matter beyond a few chaste kisses during the human life she doesn't remember. Midori is extremely expressive with her facial features, body language, ears and tail, and it is very easy to know her mood or even the conversation topic from at least a block away. Midori is deeply fond of the Cero Espada, Takafuno Yaanichi, and is slightly aggressive towards the Segunda. She is prone to bouts of seething rage and jealousy whenever the Cero chooses the Segunda's companionship over hers.

- Bio:
Act I: Lo que paso fue ... [What had happened was ... ]
Before Midori came to reside in Hueco Mundo, she was actually a pretty normal teenage girl. She loved being outdoors and being around nature, and often spent time at a wildlife reserve just outside of her hometown. It was a peaceful place that brought Midori great amounts of joy, and when the day came that she was told that it had been sold to a private contractor to build a strip mall on ... well, Midori lost it. She protested vehemently, camping out at the reserve - which proved to be her downfall. An early day of demolition resulted in Midori being pinned under a tree, her screams just barely heard above the roar of the machinery. The demolition crew was halted for a week while everything was investigated and cleared up, and construction would soon start again. But strange things began to happen ... Accidents around the site, tools misplaced or missing, inexplicable shadows in the forest, workers going missing ... The site was soon abandoned, the cost of insurance too high to make it worthwhile to continue building. Midori continued to 'protect' the few acres the reserve was on, haunting it for several before she twisted into something different, her Chain of Fate disappearing and a large hole taking its place ...
Act II: Entonces despues de eso ... [And then after that ... ]
And so Midori came to Hueco Mundo, her only memories to date. She does not recall being human nor protecting the reserve, she remembers only running the white deserts of Hueco Mundo and hunting down her prey in order to become stronger and avoid becoming prey herself. Midori, swift and agile, grew rapidly from a small, weak creature to a strong, lithe predator. She was stocky and strong, a multi-hued fox with still so much more to gain. She was intelligent, for a Hollow, and cunning. She never went after anything stronger than her, opting to weed out the weak and devour them, gaining bit by bit until she grew to be the fox spirit she'd assumed she'd always been.
And then of course came the day where everything changed. Out hunting, she sat ready to spring on her prey when another, much larger Hollow snatched it out from under her and ate it like a peanut. Midori realized that it would take more time than she had to get as strong as the Hollow that had just devoured the one she had targeted. And she wondered - for what? Midori sat for days, her hunger gnawing at her before she decided it was time to do something about the mask that covered her face. With her elongated claws, Midori pawed and tore at her face, yowling and otherwise carrying on, a crack appearing, then a second ...
With a final grunt, Midori yanked her head back, her Mask shattering and reforming, but no longer in control. Dressed in furs and with a short tanto in hand, Midori ran, confused and unsure of what to do next. She sat for hours, walked for days, and one day stumbled into a Garganta opened up by a Gillian. Struggling to get anywhere, Midori finally dropped from the sky (seemingly) and found herself in Soul Society, surrounded by beings that were similar but not the same. What wonders had she found here? What could she learn? She quickly found companionship with some younger spirits that had crossed, unfortunate deaths of children, and adopted their playful and curious natures.
Act IV: Y ahora, aqui estoy ... [And now, here I am ...]
After several years of living in Soul Society, playing games with children and overall acting like a child, Midori found herself face to face with a Hollow that intended to harm the little ones. She fought fiercely, all her instinct from her days as a predator falling into place immediately. It was a lesser Hollow, a simple Gillian, and with barely any resistance Midori dispatched it with naught but the Tanto at her side. She wanted more, she realized, than to play all day. She did want to play, but she also wanted to protect the place she was starting to call home.
Midori went to the Espadas, begging a position with them, threatening to follow them around if they didn't let her join. Better to have her with them on a scene and be able to control her rather that have her go rogue and cause more trouble ... Afterwards, after heavy consideration, one of the Espadas took Midori on as his Fraccion ....
Act V: Un Cuento Nuevo ... [A New Story ...]
After serving Takafuno loyally for many years, Midori found herself victim to her own instincts as the threat of another female around her master wrought havoc on her emotions. After a few circumstances and finally after the Fraccion's direct disobedience of her master, Midori found herself ready to accept punishment in the form of death. However, Takafuno, now the Cero Espada, elevated Midori from her status as his Fraccion to his equal as the Decima Espada. Though she is not his equal in power, Midori found a certain freedom with her speech and actions that she had not dared as his Fraccion. Who knew what was to come next .. ?

- Character Skin Color/Ethnicity:Lightly tanned. Polynesian [ Jakarta ] - Character Height:172 cm [ 5'8" ] - Character Hair Color:Midori's hair is multi-hued, going from a deep forest green at the roots and changing colors 3/4 of the way down into a muddy, firey orange that is still pretty bright, though not harsh on the eyes. It is extremely thick and soft, and falls in waves that always seem to be perfectly combed. - Character Hair Length/ Style:Midori's hair reaches down past her buttocks, and is usually either down or tied back in a pony tail. Midori doesn't style it in any specific way beyond putting ribbons in her bangs just to look cute. - Character Eye Color:Midori's left eye is a wicked shade of electric green. Sometimes the outer edges go gold, and sometimes it appears more olive than electric. The hue often depend on her mood, but generally it is a bright green. Midori's right eye is deep purple with a slight tinge of blue. It can change, becoming lighter or darker depending on the sun. - Character Description:Midori has retained many of her fox-like qualities from her days as a Hollow. Her most telling features are her large, expressive ears and her long, fluffy tail (its fur is of the same color and texture as her regular hair). She files her nails down short, otherwise they grow to a moderately impressive two inches. Midori has an above average bust size and thick hips, and is by no means a twig. She is a handful, to say the least! But don't be fooled - beneath what appears to be a soft, squishy exterior lies the core of a wild animal, and Midori can handle her own in a fight. She is extremely supple and fluid in her movements even if she acts otherwise. Midori has better than average hearing, smell, and sight. - Character Hollow Hole Location:At the base of her ears, often covered by the tuft of fur located there. - Character Number Location: Midori's number '10' is located on the left side of her neck. - Character Attire:Midori has totally modified the generic white garments of the Arrancar, adding yellow to the collar and seams and cutting it short to a skirt and a very low v-cut top. She wears arm length black gloves and thigh high black stockings, and around both ankles and wrists she wears what appear to be heavy black leather cuffs. She wears chunky heels that are relatively easy to walk and run in, though the majority of the time she skips. On occasion she will wear a black choker and a black garter belt as accessories, and she always has ribbons in her bangs. Sometimes she will carry a black riding crop.
- Zanpakutō Resurrección Name: Alma de la Zorra [ Vixen's Soul ] - Zanpakutō Sealed Form:[ Img Right ] Midori refers to her tanto as Cornillo [Fang], though she has yet to sit and discover its true name. It is a simple tanto, a mere 15 cm [6 inches] in length. Its sheath is carved from a simple wood and it holds no decorations. Midori keeps it strapped to her left thigh. - Zanpakutō Resurrección Activation Statement:Devórame [ Devour Me ] - Zanpakutō Resurrección Appearance [ Img Below Left ] Midori reverts to her Hollow form, calling upon the form of the playful yet ravenous Kitsune spirit she resided in before. Her tail grows to nearly twice her body length, and she grows in size two fold. Her tanto merges with one of her two elongated canine fangs, but it is not obvious which it is until you are too close to make an escape. - Zanpakutō Resurrección Abilities
♎ El Sueño Falso [ The False Dream ] Midori slows the perception of the enemy. Instead of seeing in real time, their vision lags by ten [10] seconds, allowing Midori to play games with them and evade their attacks easily, all while tiring them out. Auditory and olefactory senses are also delayed, but only by half the time, five [5] seconds. To break the lag, the enemy must tell a funny joke and make Midori laugh so that she loses her concentration on the pressure she is applying to the enemy's body. ♎ La Broma [ The Prank ] Midori forces the enemy into an inverted sense of being. All of their movements are inverted; that is, when the enemy tries to swing their right arm forward, their left will move backwards instead. It is increasingly difficult to fight while caught in La Broma, as Midori's movements are not affected by the inverse and she is free to attack normally. This is automatically inflicted as a secondary effect to La Salvaje when Midori bites her opponent. It lasts for five [5] posts and then wears off. It can be countered by avoiding being bitten in the first place. To avoid being bitten, move faster than Midori and dodge / block effectively - Midori is limited to what she can and cannot reach with her teeth and claws.
♎ La Salvaje [ The Wild One ] Passive Midori uses her mastery of Sonído to go in for the kill. Where she sinks her teeth into the enemy, a polluted form of her own Reiryoku will attack the enemy's Reiryoku from the inside. This makes it so that the enemy cannot use any abilities that require Reiryoku to be successful for one [1] turn per bite. To avoid being bitten, move faster than Midori and dodge / block effectively - Midori is limited to what she can and cannot reach with her teeth and claws.
♎ No Hay Mañana [ There Is No Tomorrow ] Midori's strongest offensive attack - pushing her spiritual energy into her claws and teeth, Midori creates enough pressure to damage the epidermis that she happens to dig into and cause necrosis. The only requirement is contact - the enemy's skin does not have to break or bleed in order for the necrosis to happen. This is due to the fact that Midori is using spiritual pressure and focusing it on very specific parts of the opponent. It can be deadly if Midori comes close to crucial parts of the body, and will be extremely painful if she makes contact with the body's power center, where the Chain of Fate resides. There are very few ways to counter this, but an opponent with Espada level Hierro can decrease the effects to a mere rash instead of necrosis, where lower levels of Hierro can make the effects seem more like sunburn. Otherwise, just stay out of melee range.

- Segunda Resurrección:Zorra del Infierno [ Hell's Vixen ] - Segunda Resurrección Appearance:Midori almost doubles in size, the green in her fur darkening to black and the orange turning crimson. Her fangs triple in size, giving her the appearance of a sabre-toothed fox, her tanto still merged with one of them, and her Hierro increases by two ranks - but only around the base of her ears and on her face and jaw. Her claws grow to six inches long, and her eyes turn a dark violet-red. - Segunda Resurrección Abilities:
♎ Ahora Y Por Siempre [ Now and Forever ] Midori forms a bond with the target or targets via physical touch, binding the target or targets with herself for five [5] posts. Whatever Midori suffers, the target(s) suffers. However, it is not a two-way mirror - whatever the target(s) suffers, it suffers alone. Avoid being touched at all costs - to break the bond, the target must scratch one inch behind Midori's left ear. Midori requires a resting period of three [3] posts before she has energy to use this again.
♎ Tiempos Perdidos [ Times Lost ] A ticking mental time bomb - so to speak. Midori injects her reishi into the target via a bite or scratch, sending a surge to the memory cortex. Every post that the target makes, they lose a memory relevant to the current situation, e.g., their purpose, their mission, their name - their allegiance. After five [5] combat posts, the target has no recollection of why they are fighting, or who they are fighting for. Avoid being bitten or scratched. To reverse the effects, the target must either sacrifice something important to them, like breaking their zanpakuto or severing a limb, or be treated by medical personnel. This is not effective against Hollows.
♎ Ojos Brillantes de la Zorra [ Glowing Eyes of the Vixen ] Further pushing her control over time, Midori completely freezes the user's visual cortex, leaving them virtually blind, for all intents and purposes, for three [3] posts. Auditory senses are not affected. Midori ensnares the target by making eye contact for three [3] seconds - be wary of the Vixen's glowing eyes. Midori must keep eye contact for the target to be inflicted with blindness, but does not have to maintain the contact after the ability has taken hold of the target. To break Midori's hold over your eyes, you must sustain a severe blow to the head, whether inflicted by Midori, yourself, or another player on the battlefield.
♎ Guarida de Desastres [ Den of Disasters ] Wild animals do not play nice when their families are threatened, and Midori is no exception. Allowing her baser instincts to guide her, Midori creates a den-like enclosure from her spiritual energy, securing it with spiritual pressure, and forcing the target within. In the enclosed space, the target must fight in the dark against the Vixen, and only the victor will emerge breathing. To avoid being trapped in the Den, stay more than ten [10] feet away from the Vixen. If you are caught in the Den ... kill the Vixen or survive for eight [8] posts. After a period of eight [8] posts, Midori must regain energy for three [3] posts before attempting to trap the target again - if it survives the first round.

Bala
- Color: Orange Red █ - Range: 3 ft vertical conical flares - Distance: 100 ft - Mastery Midori relies on points of impact rather than actual targets for her Bala to work. She released a small sphere from her jaws, launching it towards where she expects the enemy to be instead of where they are now. The Bala activates on contact with a solid, non-moving object, exploding vertically in a flaring conical shape up to three [3] feet in height and five [5] feet in diameter at the base.
Cero
- Color: Coral █ - Range: 10 ft circular diameter - Distance: 250 ft - Mastery Midori must charge her Cero for one [1] post before using it. She released a large ball from between her jaws, snapping at the end and leaving the Cero with a fringed tail. Like the Bala, the Cero only explode upon contact with a non-moving surface, charring everything in a ten [10] foot radius from the landing spot.
- Hierro : Midori's Hierro isn't tough so much as it is flexible, especially during her release. The fur that covers her body can often cushion a blow and redirect it, letting things slide and roll off her sides as she dances around her opponents. However, that is only if Midori is fast enough to avoid the full contact of any weapon. Generally, Midori's Hierro is weak compared to other Arrancar, and so she keeps on her toes when she is fighting. If attacked by someone in Segunda Resurrección, Midori will likely sustain heavy bodily injury without assistance.
- Swordsmanship: Novice - this is Midori's weakest area. She uses her tanto best she can, but Midori is clumsy with it at best because she spent so many centuries on all fours using her claws and teeth as a Hollow. She dislikes having to use the tanto and will do her best to avoid any situation in which she will be forced to use it in its sealed form.
- Sonído: Master - this is Midori's strongest area. She is almost as fast as her master, Takafuno Yaanichi. Much like Takafuno, Midori's image does not blur when she moves, though she cannot move quite as far as Takafuno. Still, her movements are clean and rapid, and with training she could easily surpass her master.
- High Speed Regeneration: Expert - Midori does reasonably well with all injuries that are more than simple scratches. Because Midori dislikes having to be in pain longer than necessary, her body tends to all wounds as soon as safely possible. Midori will recover from small wounds like scratches or bruises near instantly. If she loses a limb, she will recover in two [2] posts, and being cut clean in half requires six [6] posts. She can recover from minor brain injuries to the temporary frontal lobes, but like most, she cannot recover from serious injury to the brain cavity.
I like this! I only have a few fixes; for the Ressurecction abilities, how does the inverted perceptional abilities begin? Is it from the passive bite attack? I'd like to also see how an opponent can thwart the bite and other said abilities.
Also, do you know who's Fraccion you'll be apart of?

Aye, aye, it's under her Affiliations, Takafuno Yaanichi, Primer Espada. Dcme specifically invited me to be the first of his Fraccion.
I hadn't really thought it out for the inverted, maybe a bubble space created by energy? Dcme helped me to think of ideas for the attacks, I have trouble with making overly powerful things ... I tend to make them not overly powerful at all. ^^;
As far as the bite, it's just a standard melee, dodging and blocking would work. ^^;; I will write something in though and re-quote you if that is alright?

Okay girl! I say infuse the bite and inverted attacks, it would be more cohesive!
I'm fine with that!

I think I've got it! I just have to make my format tomorrow after work and I should be set ...
I've added my pictures and tweaked the techniques, I think they are a bit more counter-able now. If not, I'll gladly take suggestions. ^_^
Also, I honestly couldn't think of a counter for False Dream (what with still going back and catching up on stuff ...) so I put in something silly since Midori's a kitsune, so she's all about trickery and pranks and jokes (if the attack names weren't obvious enough lol).
♎ Ahora Y Por Siempre [ Now and Forever ] Midori forms a bond with the target via physical touch, binding the target with herself. Whatever Midori suffers, the target suffers. However, it is not a two-way mirror - whatever the target suffers, it suffers alone. Avoid being touched at all costs - to break the bond, the target must scratch one inch behind Midori's left ear.
I need a limit on how long this'll last. No more than 5 posts is my personal preference, with a cool down of 3 posts between uses. However, this can be used on multiple targets at once.

Genjutsu. Gotcha. Ahem, you must make sure to make eye contact and there can't be auto-distortion for them. They can still move, they're just ********. So, remove the auto-distortion stuff and it's good. Make SURE they're looking into your eyes when using this.

This needs a limit on how long it can stay active. Because of her motif, I'll give it 8 posts at a time, before it breaks down and has a 3 post cool down.
