Malus
Base Hollow
Base Hollow
[ AT A GLANCE ]
Age / Apparent Age: 125 / 30
Gender: Male
Height & Weight:6’ 7’’ & 120 lbs
Voice: Sounds like Flay Gunnar.(6:45-6:58)
Positive Traits:
- Intellectual: As he was in life. The pursuit of knowledge, culture, and learning for learning's sake is one of Malus's driving forces.
- Protective: Malus is protective of those he perceives as his property, his territory, the innocent, or those things he hordes.
- Generous: Much like in life he can be a giving individual, and not always giving vengeance. If he has something to share that he feels is worth giving he'll do so. As long as the individual isn't one he perceives as evil, a thief, or a threat.
- Curious: Another carry over from his life is an unquenchable inquisitiveness that is as big a hunger as his hollow hunger for souls.
- Honor Code:
* Protect his horde and the innocent.
* Bring vengeance to the wronged, and those without a voice.
* Never be the first to betray another.
* Never bring harm to a healer, scholar, or non-combatant/defenseless/young.
* Protect those in his perceived territory that aren't a threat.
* Preserve and protect knowledge and places of knowledge / culture.
Negative Traits:
- Hoarding: Malus has a dragon like hoarding habit. The things he collects he views and protects just as ferociously as a dragon with its treasure. His collection ranges from those things that piques his curiosity, knowledge, innocent things, or those that has called upon his aide. And where ever those things are, is where he considers his territory and horde.
- Vindictive: Vengeance is his Aspect of Death. As such has a strong need for vengeance, and avenging.
- Territorial: Has a draconic level of territorialism, and a draconian definition of what qualifies as his territory. Any theft or unwanted encroachment strokes his wrath.
- Helpful [Negative Quality]: Even though it led to his death. His generosity is a vice, rather than a virtue. Even to a detriment to himself. As vindictive as he can be, he can be equally willing to help. Giving him one of two extremes he "lives" by.
Loyalties: Malus takes authority from those he sees as righteous or honorable. While he is loyal to those living people he sees as his horde, or those who tends to things he hordes. The only other bit of loyalty he has is too his honor code.
Snapshots:
Birth (December 7th, 1892): Born in London during the height of the Victorian Occult Renaissance.
Fullbringer power awakened (November 12th, 1903): At the age of 10 awoke to his power to bend his spiritual energies similar to the vaunted explanations of magic. Awoke his inquisitiveness and stoked a love of learning.
Death (July 27th, 1921): Murdered in his sleep by a thief and his associates that had been stealing from him with impunity for a year. While living in the states.
Became a Hollow (Two months later) : After months of following those who killed him, seeing that neither the law nor karma struck him. That justice eluded him and his associates was filled with a consuming need to be justice to strike him down and those like him.
When his soul chain fully deteriorated his becoming a hollow gave him the power to avenge his death. Followed by using his newfound power to bring vengeance for those like him were wronged, or harmed but had nowhere else to turn to. A spirit of justice to judge those who would escape justice normally.
[ ON THE SURFACE ]
Physical Description:: Malus has an inky black dragon like body. Standing proudly on two thick legs that ends with three toes, and two, long adorable, antenna. His body closely resembling a Goodra without the dripping slime, and a pure black body. His skin has a frog skin like texture, with a soft, satiny smoothness.
His mask has two white horns that sits upon his rounded mask. With rounded, glowing golden eyes, and a softly rounded muzzle. Around the eyes and mouth has a ring of red that at the lower corners of the eyes near the checks has a stylized tear drop. All in all his body has a deceptively harmless appearance.
Spiritual Description: Malus's spiritual energy feels like a reflection of the sensors emotional state. If they have a lot of inner darkness or aggression they feel that reflected back at them. If they are innocent or non-combatant aggressive then it has a peaceful feel to it. Appearance wise it looks like a fog of violet light. That wraps around him like a misty cloak. Swirling around him in a tranquil pattern unless angered when it then violently fluxes in a chaotic swirl of wrath.
[ BEHIND THE EYES ]
Personality:Malus suffers from a Messiah Complex. Seeing himself as the true force of divine justice against evil. A true Champion of Justice, tasked to be judged, jury, and at times executioner for those who require retribution.
At the same time he is protective of those who like himself in life are prey to others, wronged, or innocents. Seeing his feeding on targets as ‘cleansing the world’ as well as his sacred duty.
His dragon like body is a representation of his hoarding like nature for things that fulfill the emptiness when he's not feeding.
Goals & Achievements:
* To become more powerful.
* Gather a force of like minded individuals who see the problems of the planes and wish a change.
* Once those have happened cleanse the planes of the source of disharmony, initiating the cleansing.
* Be a righteous ruler, judging souls across the planes. Enforcing his divine judgement on those he sees as deserving it. The ultimate predator of predators.
[ GUARDIAN ANGEL ]
Aspect of Death: Retribution Malus sees himself as a spirit of divine retribution and justice. Being killed only to see his killers get free, selling his stolen property for drugs, and those allied with him perpetuating the same evil on others filled him with a need to punish those them and those like them.
His souls of choice are taken from the targets of those seeking vengeance on those who seriously wronged them, but get away with it, or those his power perceives as evil. In doing so he feels as if he’s giving the safety and justice he was denied both in life and death prior to becoming a Hollow.
First Release: Justica del Corazon: Malus sees into the soul of those he gazes upon and sees the nature of their soul of those within his Reiatsu Perception. Able to see their memories and karma both good and bad. Those he judges as evil he is able to make the target see all the wrongs they've committed both while living and or dead, and make them experience those acts through the eyes and emotions of their victims. As they relive it, black sludge-like tears fall from their eyes. Likewise those he sees as good, he can make relive good memories and remember good parts of their lives, even those memories they think lost. Those ones eyes glow with a golden light.
The older and more wrongs a being has done, the greater the pain they experience.
Those things Malus views as evil are as such:
- Killing for profit, duty, or pleasure. (Being indirectly, but purposefully responsible counts).
- Theft, or other acts of malicious greed.
- Oppressing / Bullying / Harming the innocent / defenseless / weak (includes Zanpakuto Spirits who's owners mistreat / dislike / hate them).
- Acting selfishly, at the expense of others. For one's own benefit (doesn't count towards animals or Hollows feeding).
- Using powers to harm or manipulate others for personal gain, enjoyment, or duty.
and
- Misuse or abusing one's position in life.
The things he sees as good acts are:
- Helping others in need.
- Protecting those who can't protect themselves, or the innocent. (Moral grey ground, those who kill while doing this for the sake of duty, or gain pleasure / enjoyment from doing so are viewed as evil. Else it's seen as self defense / protecting the innocent. As long as they feel penance or dislike having killed. Or as a Hollow if it was done for nourishment (which Malus views as a neutral act)).
- Respect for life.
- Acting virtuously.
- Concerned with the well being and quality of life of others.
- Seeks to better those around them, or those they care about.
- Doesn't take advantage of others.
All other acts that don't fall into that list he sees as neutral.
Zanpakutō: None.
[ LEGACY CREATED ]
Origin:
Malus born Malus Tempest the IX., was the third child of a minor nobleman and as such grew up knowing he would never inherit from his family. But rather than growing up in idle wealth was raised to uphold Noblesse Oblige, and the honor of the family name. Being in the age when the Occult was rising popularity among the educated, and famous. Was part of his education to build his social networks and standing.
From his earliest years, he had a deep love of knowledge and studying. Using his influence to gain access to restricted libraries where he could fulfill his passions, as well as his stipend he gained from his family to use the knowledge he gained to serve the communities he visited. But due to his sheltered upbrining, and his naturally generous nature. It never occurred to him that others could act dishonorably.
While living in New York, during his thirtieth year of life, he made the greatest mistake of his life. A person wondering his neighborhood asking for help for him and his children, being the giving person he was gave him food, toiletries, and linen. Starting from that moment he was a target for theft. Every time the authorities could do nothing. Every attempt to bring him to justice was met with naught. The problem escalated till one night they killed him. His soul violently ejected from his body as one of his associates bashed his head in with a crowbar.
For months he followed them, praying for retribution for their heinous deeds. As he watched them steal, kill, and profit from the harm they brought to others. As their actions continued with impunity he felt a righteous rage grow within his soul, promising to any force that would hear him that he would be a righteous spirit of retribution giving justice against all those who escaped justice for their wrong doings. Feeling the wrathful vengeance eat away at him, consuming him with need.
It was two months after his death when that consuming need finally tore away his soul chain, and he was granted his desire. As he materialized as a Hollow, filled with the Aspect of Retribution. And thus began his quest to bring justice to those he saw as deserving it.
Rise to Power:
The moment he turned into a Hollow his eyes opened to the world around him, allowing him to see deeply into the nature of those in range of his sense. His first act of retribution was on those who stole and eventually killed him. He watched as tears of black sludge borne from their wickedness fell from their eyes as they experienced his death, and all the pain they had visited upon others.
As they weight of their actions crippled them, he reveled in casting judgement upon them. Death.
It was at that moment, in a spark of clarity, that he knew what he was made to do. Be the spirit of divine retribution that he prayed for. A being to cast judgement on those who escaped justice and were filled with evil in their souls. To be a Defender of Justice, his brand of Justice, to those who needed it most. And thus started his hunt for predators and those his power perceived as evil to do for others in his death, what was denied him while he was alive.
It was also a curse, for in it he saw the good in others whose evil had demanded justice be given them; as well as the evil that some good beings had. In time the moral crisis demanded he go to Hueco Mundo to meditate on how his power should be used. And what qualified as evil demanding retribution, and those who were good but have made mistakes in their pasts. Or lesser evils, that were common to both souls and humanity.
It was a eighty years of meditation, fine tuning his power, contemplation, and practicing on lots of fellow Hollows. To get to where his power sought out those things that Malus saw as truly evil, and those he saw as inherently good. As well as what degree the balance should tilt before he claimed a soul as his to bring vengeance upon. And those who simply needed to pay their penance for their sins and those who worth protecting. But the main thing was that the world needed to be cleansed if the spiritual world was to be purged of the unworthy.
Call To Action:
It has been up to 47 years since he started his cleansing the material world, giving retribution to those who had nowhere else to turn, and helping those whom he felt drawn to aide.
In the last seven years he has witnessed life in the sidelines, seeing turmoil, anarchy, and loss. But now he's decided that it is time to take up action and evolve. Not just spiritually, but physically as well. To be the change he sees for the planes, rather than attacking the symptoms of the disorder. So with righteousness in his heart, and a hunger for justice gnawing at his belly. His story has begun.
