 | Hello, I'm am Victoria. AKA: The Wolf of the 5th Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. We're all very busy people and even the smallest of distractions can take away so much time in our day to day. So I'll keep this as brief as I can, I am an ancient soul and have served this mighty country dutifully for more than a thousand years. To be exact, I've been in uniform for one thousand five hundred sixty one years. Please do not let my advanced age, long service time, or rather "aggressive" title keep you from reaching out to me. As the Fifth's current Iron Fist it is a very safe wager that I know a thing or two about using ones body as a weapon. If you would like to speak with me about anything in regards to hakuda please feel free to drop by the Fifths many training yards. I hope to speak with you soon! |
| Who is Victoria? | Victoria is in short ancient warrior of a generation long past. She became a soul in the dying years of the Western Roman Empire. Konsou'd not long after her death at the hands of a rampaging Visogoth war band Victoria began her career just shy of fifty years after her death. Since then, she has served faithfully and dutifully in the ranks of the Fifth division. |
| What can Victoria do for you? | For the spiritual being she offers: Due to her advanced age and long service history she can be almost anything for spiritual beings. She can be a long standing foe for the hollow breed and arrancar. She can be the Death God your shinigami saw before being sent to the afterlife. Perhaps, they're past lovers? Or maybe your character has heard the stories of the ancient shinigami who has seen battle more than any other? She could be a role model, an enemy, a rival, a friend, a lover or a comrade. For the human: Victoria can be a living history book to humanities past as seen by the eyes of a being who has witnessed the rise and fall of nations, empires, and the deaths of countless to disease, famine, war, and human cruelty. While she cannot be a direct mentor she is will, for the right person, teach without teaching. By speaking candidly about the subjects she knows best. Or by simply being an ear to vent your frustrations too. To the quincy: Due to her history of participating in the culling of the Quincy she is most likely to be considered an enemy by them. That is not to say she harbors ill will towards them or actively seeks to see their destruction. If a quincy is wanting to speak of the old times and learn from a person who soiled their hands in the blood of Quincy then she is more than willing to share her knowledge. |
| What does Victoria need? | Victoria needs a person or a group of people to take an interest. To give a damn about her. While she's making great strides in stepping out of her comfort zone and dropping the walls that have protected her for so long she has yet to make any friends. She also has opinions on the current state of the gotei and what may befall them if they continue down the road they're on. If nothing else she needs people to listen to her and encourage her to make the plays needed to become more than just a soldier and to begin the serious work that is needed to be even remotely considered for captaincy of the Fifth. |
| Skill Development. | Victoria is a very straight forward fighter. Focusing heavily on strong defense and attack Victoria has dedicated herself to the way of the fist. To arts of shattering bone and breaking spirits with her iron will. She has offset this narrow specialty with a predatory version of Reiatsu perception. While she may not be able to teach it directly to a person they are more than welcome to observe her application of her special flavor of the skill and try and imitate it themselves. For those seeking hand to hand training she is more than willing to take on students who are willing to put the effort into their training and whom don't require former lessons beyond the odd check up and minor correction of pointed out flaws or mechanical errors. |
| Current Plot Arc. | At present Victoria is left with many more questions than she has answers for. Her encounters with a past lover she had presumed dead and the subsequent verbal beat down has shattered the way she had viewed herself and left her questioning everything. She's cast off everything she's believed herself to be. The only thing she is certain of is that she is a woman. She's been with the Fifth for a very long time. She's tired of being alone. Shes tired of feeling like she has almost no control over her own life beyond what she can do in the moment. She's tired of the fluid nature of the fifths leadership. So what is she going to do about it? She's going to find her feet and drag herself out of obscurity. Going to make her name known to the higher powers by beginning the task of fixing the fifth. By reaching out to make connections and attempting to avoid her old habits of withdrawing inside herself and pushing people away. |
