Snapshots:
[ ON THE SURFACE ]
Physical Description: Akira is of average height and weight and would blend in with any group of people if not for his body type, which is similar to that of a high-level competitive swimmer. Years of fighting off enemies almost constantly just to survive Hueco Mundo have burned off almost all the fat on his body, allowing nearly every muscle he has to be extremely well-defined. His shoulders, biceps, and triceps in particular are very strong from wielding his Zanpakuto. Besides that, most of his physical traits are average. His skin is extremely fair, but not quite pale due to hundreds of years in Hueco Mundo with no sun. It is marred by hundreds of scars, some larger and darker than others, from his many battles for survival. He has no tattoos, not even the number that marks the bodies of most Arrancar. Sharply contrasting with his skin is his jet-black hair. Akira's hair is always long, about a 6 if going by hair clipper sizes, and he keeps it as neat as possible, often swept forward and down to cover his forehead, but always away from his eyes so as not to obstruct his vision. His eyes are dark brown and almost perfectly spaced, neither too far apart nor too close together. Like all Arrancar, he has a fragment of his old Hollow mask still stuck to his face. Akira's covers his entire mouth and wraps around his face, ending only at the jaw joint on both sides. It is pure white except for two green triangles half an inch long on each side found at both corners of his mouth. It opens and closes along with his mouth whenever the mouth moves for any reason. Finally, his Hollow hole is located on the right side of his chest and is slightly larger than usual at around 6 inches in diameter.
Akira wears the same clothing as most Arrancar, the white uniform with black lining and silver sandals with black socks. Because he has not had a chance to change clothes in a very long time, his uniform is torn and ragged at the bottom and has many cuts and stains in it, mostly from blood. He also removed the sleeves entirely because they often got in his way while fighting. Akira has also added a dark blue strap, now very worn, torn, and stained, to his uniform to hold his sheathed Zanpakuto diagonally across his back with the hilt on the right side.
Akira's voice and body language are clearly intended to shut others out and project a feeling of hostility. His voice is somewhat lower than average but also very clear. It rarely, if at all, conveys any emotion, and he will almost never raise his voice or yell. He walks with his back straight at all times, always looking straight ahead and barely blinking at all while taking evenly spaced, careful steps. He usually avoids eye contact with others and constantly wears a serious, deadpan expression on his face, which, like his voice, almost never shows any emotion. His eyes seem to say "back off" to anyone he does make eye contact with. Despite all this, everything about him seems to indicate some intense feeling simmering just below the surface, ready to break out at any time.
Spiritual Description: Akira's Reiatsu immediately has a hostile feeling to it and will invoke a stinging feeling on the surface of the skin of anyone who does not know him well or is near or lower than his level of strength. However, those stronger than him or skilled at sensing Reiatsu will notice an aura of sadness and a wish to belong, to not be lonely any longer, in Akira's spiritual energy as well. Those who do know him well or who he considers a friend will feel a sense of safety and support in his Reiatsu, but the same underlying sense of sadness and loneliness will come out as well if said being is skilled at sensing the Reiatsu of others. When it physically manifests itself, Akira's Reiatsu will appear as a thick, dark blue energy that flickers and moves like fire on his skin or the blade of his Zanpakuto. As such, his Cero and Bala are dark blue in color.
[ BEHIND THE EYES ]
Personality: Akira is not someone many people would want to associate with if they were to see him on the street or only speak to him for a short time. He does not like to be around others at all, which causes him to come off as very antisocial and unfriendly. In a way, this is true. He has a very hard time speaking to and interacting with people because it is very hard for him to trust others due to his past experiences. Akira would definitely be classified as an introvert. That being said, he is very independent and will never be a burden on others. In fact, he is very unlikely to ask others for help at all, also because of his trust issues. For the same reason, he will almost never display emotion. No matter how much pain he is in, or how happy or sad he feels, it will most likely not show in his facial expression or body language. There is one exception to this, and that is anger. Akira is extremely unstable and if something makes him angry, particularly if it reminds him of one of the traumatic events from his human life, he will lash out without warning and possibly even attack whoever angered him. Akira's other major flaw is his selfishness. Remnants of his Hollow instinct lead him to put his needs before those of others and only worry about his own survival. All of these things combined make it very hard for anyone to be friends with Akira or even spend time with him. However, he is not all bad. He is persistent at all things he cares about and is a very hard worker. This means if someone does gain his trust and become his friend, which is very difficult but not impossible, he will do anything for them. Though he is not loyal to Las Noches or any other group, he is loyal to the bitter end to anyone he can call a friend. He is also very understanding of others since he has been through some of the worst things people can do to each other and knows how hardship feels. Akira lives by a policy of honesty and will never lie to anyone, which is easy for him since he does not consider anything about him to be a secret and also does not care what others think about him.
Goals & Achievements: This is where you briefly talk about things your character has done in the past, or things they want to do. Please note that you cannot have had any previous position of notable power (such as lieutenant or captain), however mentioning that you were once a seated officer in a certain division is very relevant information. This is a very good place to start a foundation of your story and make notes on the general direction of where you want to go with your character. Above all else, keep your goals reasonable; it was be a little ludicrous to go out the gate wanting to be Captain Commander. However, feel free to update this as you progress, so players have easy access to your current plans and accomplishments.
[ GUARDIAN ANGEL ]
Aspect of Death: A single theme or trait that killed your Arrancar as a human and will kill them again if it goes unchecked. This is the main source of conflict for your character and where you will have most of your development sprout from. As such, you’ll want to think carefully about an AoD that will tie into your character well and help accomplish the things you want to with this character. Similarly, an AoD does not have to come with a negative connotation, though traits like “Wrath” and “Greed” are fairly common. Feel free to have something that is more passive or off the wall, like “Curiosity” or even “Love”.
Power: A brief (1-2 sentences) summary of your power. This only needs to be as complex or as simple as you want it to be, but remember that the full write up belongs in your second post!
Zanpakutō: An empty blade that the Arrancar fight with. This weapon can come in just about any form and typically takes on a monstrous, or dangerous vibe. There is no standard, though typically it is a bladed weapon of some sort.
[ LEGACY CREATED ]
Origin: Each of these three sections should be at least a full paragraph (5-7 complete sentences). In your origin, you should talk about where your character was born, describe their death and talk about their time as a base Hollow. This should stop before your character has become conscious and is able to think about their actions.
Rise to Power: Rise to Power should include the road up to breaking the hollow mask as well as the logic behind doing that. During this phase is when you would talk about how your character has gotten use to being an Arrancar after being a monster for so long.
Call to Action: This is where you talk about the event(s) that made your character shift from an NPC to a player character. For whatever reason, they need to be pulled away from the daily grind and put into the spotlight. In this section, you’ll want to highlight that event(s) and justify why your character is they way they are today.
After you have filled out your application and you are ready for it to be checked by staff, be sure to mark it as [FINISHED] and then make a second post with the following information. Do not feel pressured to fill this out, as it is post-approval information. If you would like to reserve an additional post (for a total of three posts in a row), you are welcomed to.
