[OOC] Bleach: Endless Abyss (Open)

[Infinite Cosmos]

@Phobosfudge cakes. I'll change that asap.

Also, yeah, Abi keeps him up, if you know what I mean.

[Phobos]

@Zobozun Sure, no problem with that ^.^ but he doesn't have to be a Vizard in order to leave his position. Vizards are actually accepted into the Soul Society in this universe.

[Zero Hex]

Well, since it looks like the extra faction fell through I'll be taking Squad 13's lieutenant

[Phobos]

@Zero Hex
Well we're thinking of creating a new separate military branch of the Soul Society for others to create captain/Lieutenant level characters. But thats only if there's enough people to fill in those spots

Mother Mary

Name: Margaret "Mother Mary" Maxim

Appearance:

Hider

Age:
Middling 20's

Gender: F

Height: Petite

Weight: Surprisingly Dense

Hair Colour: Blonde

Eye Colour: Blue

Birthday:
November 1st

Race:
Soul

Rank: Former Kido Corps Vice-Chief, Currently a seated member of Squad 13

Spiritual Energy Colour: Pure, Blinding White

Personality: A comfy team mom who is always there to bandage your wounds, Mary is a quiet, submissive type of girl. She considers hardships she faces to be trials sent by God, and firmly believes that everything that happens, no matter how big or small, is part of God's plan. On the battlefield, she's placid and unshakable, a pillar that can always be relied upon.

History: A Christian missionary lynched by Buddhist extremists in Karakura Town during the 17th century, she was scouted as a Shinigami due to her strong spiritual power, and sent to study at Shin'o. There, she discovered her talent for seals and barriers, finishing the six year Kido course in only two. However, due to failing the Hakuda exam three times in a row, she took some eight years to graduate anyways.

She entered the Kido Corps after graduating and worked her way up through the ladder over the next 200 years or so, eventually becoming vice-Chief and establishing a medical corps that worked closely with the Gotei 13. Roughly 100 years ago, the Kido corps leadership, along with high-ranking seated members of several squads, were decimated by an unknown assailant. Mary herself barely escaped with her life thanks to the valiant efforts of the Kido Corps' Chief and the squad captains. Those involved in the conflict were named Missing in Action and presumed KIA. Mary refused a promotion, and resigned out of guilt as soon as the new Chief had settled into his role, naming one of her pupils as a successor for Vice-Chief.

She lived a quiet life as a lecturer and researcher of Kido at Shin'o for the next eighty years, until a Hollow attack near the university grounds brought to her attention just how thinly-spread the Shinigami's resources were. Fearing for the lives of her students, Mary signed on with the 13th as an auxiliary and soon found herself a seated member in spite of her modesty and sporadic appearances.


Relationships/Friendships/Rivalries/Siblings:
Airi Mao - Church Friends
Current Kido Corps Vice-Chief - Ex-Student
???-???

Other:
Carries around hundreds of small cloth dolls in the likeness of those she is close to as well as various major Soul Society figures, which she sews as a hobby. Still lectures at Shin'o and keeps in contact with her graduates.

~Zanpakuto~

Zanpakuto name: Enter Sandman

Type: Kido

Invoked Zanpakuto Command: Exit light, enter night

Spirit Appearance:
A tall, imposing woman resembling St. Anastasia of Sirmium

Inner world:
A peaceful Gothic-styled abbey filled with faceless nuns who bustle about acting out silent funerals for lifeless mannequins.

Sealed Zanpakuto appearance: An oversized scalpel of polished steel which Mary wields like a polearm. (think Faust from GG)

Shikai appearance: A floating, disembodied torso, arms, and upper skull, and heart, connected by chains. It wields a hammer and stake, and is connected to Mary herself by a thick, intangible chain that pierces her chest.

Bankai appearance: N/A

Shikai special ability: Enter Sandman possesses the ability to the extent of transferring wounds between entities, allowing people to be healed by passing off or distributing their damage. The most notable point of Enter Sandman is the sheer wholeness of the transfer; its power over wounds is unchanging and immutable.

Shikai skills:
1. Dr. Feelgood - Intangible, transluscent chains and stakes appear from Enter Sandman's heart, harmlessly piercing all nearby allied entities and allowing Mary to freely transfer wounds between the linked or store them in Enter Sandman's heart- though any wounds still left when Shikai is canceled are transferred directly to Mary. The chains persist until Enter Sandman is dismissed, and regenerate if damaged.

2. Painkiller - Enter Sandman's other primary trait is that it can move independently from Mary at a speed comparable to one who has mastered Shunpo, though it can only do so in an approximately 500m radius around Mary herself.

3. Surgical Steel - By pounding its stake into an entity, Enter Sandman can forcibly bring them into the "network" created by Dr. Feelgood, allowing Mary to transfer wounds to them. Much like the chains it generates, the stake itself is intangible, harmless, and pierces through matter regardless of toughness.

4. Comfortably Numb - In addition to wounds, Enter Sandman can also freely distribute and store pain felt by its component members of the network as well as monitor their conditions.

5. Sister Morphine - Enter Sandman automatically heals and stores wounds inflicted upon Mary herself takes without being ordered.

6. To be revealed?

Bankai skills: (Captains and up can only have Bankai. Note: Some Lieutenants will be able to attain a Bankai)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5. (Ultimate Skill)

Nonlethal Shikai Skills:
Technically all of them

Skills & Masteries

Zanjutsu - Expert. Mary is capable of using her Shikai's ability to its fullest extent.

Kido - Master. As ex-second of the Kido Corps, Mary's knowledge and skill at Bakudo and healing-type Kido is unparalleled even among those called masters, and those who can outdo her in Hado can be counted on one hand.

Hakuda - Proficient. While her skill has grown some small amount over the years, Mary just isn't cut out for unarmed combat.

Hoho - Expert. A medic has to be able to keep up with her team, after all.

@Phobos

[Phobos]

Name: Mirja Eerola

Appearance:

Mirja

Age:
Looks about thirty, in human years. Acts, much less mauturely.

Gender: Iron Man

Height: 6'2

Weight: 22 stone (308 pounds, 139 kilos)

Hair Colour: Pink

Eye Colour: Silver

Birthday: Oct 13th

Clan/Family: N/A

Race: Soul

Rank: Lieutenant

Spiritual Energy Colour: N/A

Personality: Mirja can seem rather cold and hostile towards men, but she has an inherent distrust of them, not really sure why but she does. Breasts, on the other hand, have always enamoured her. The bigger they are, the more amazed she is that they exist. She doesn't really understand much about a person's rank unless told outright that they are super Soul Reapers and need smiling at instead of glaring or oggling. She is protective of a scar starting on her forehead and running up, getting lost in her hair, and will always try to change the topic whenever she can if it is brought up. If they press the topic, and are a low enough rank, she will punch the person in the face, and if they are much higher than her, she will grab a small pouch that is always on her hip and throw it up in the air, sprinkling confetti and running away dramatically. She does actually posses a serious nature, despite what people would think of her, but she prefers not to do show it very often because it is 'boring'. Her silver eyes make her seem a lot harsher than she is, as they are set in a near-permanent scowl, that deviates completely from how she is.

History: Much of Mirja's life in the Roukonga is absent, and she attributes it to the scar on her head, not sure if the two are connected, but thinking it sounds about right. In the academy, she liked making friends, and was always ready to help someone, but really struggled with her Zanjutsu lessons, and her Kido for that matter, due to her unique nature. Her form and swing style is terrible, but that didn't automatically mean she was going to lose, since her extremely dense body and terrofyingly powerful muscles could take someone out with a single swing, if she managed to hit them. She also wondered why the training swords where straight, but the full Soul Reapers got curved swords. It was mind-boggling. Curved. Swords. However, despite her failures in this area, she excelled immensely in Hoho and Hakuda, which allowed her to graduate and become a Soul Reaper, even if she didn't know what end of the man the sword went into.

Of course, she grew into her role a little more as she got older, and eventually discovered that it was the pointy end that went into the man, but still never really liked using her Zanpaktou. It just didn't really feel natural. So she used her fists for everything, making rice cakes and punching people in the head. The 11th squad was perfect for her, due to her inability to use Kido, and their dislike of anyone who did use Kido. It was like a match made in punchy heaven. And so she became the Pink Chef of 11th Squad, always making Rice Cakes and other assorted goodies, while punching anyone who tried to steal her food. And a punch from Mirja was something to be frightened of.

Relationships/Friendships/Rivalries/Siblings: Anyone with boobs - good friend. Most guys - scowl-bait
Other: Short Shihakusho, cuts off around the thighs, and has short sleeves, exposing as much body as it covers. Never wears shoes. Has a uniquely dense Reiryoku, imparing her ability to release Spiritual Pressure and use Kido, but granting her incredible physical fortitude and strength as a result.

~Zanpakuto~

Zanpakuto name: Beowulf

Type: Atmospheric/Melee

Zanpakuto Shikai Release command: 'The night is dark, and I am scared. So scared, and alone. But I have you, so please, lend me your light, to show me the way home'

Spirit Appearance(Optional): Beowulf is a massive creature, twenty foot tall and a living mountain of muscle. Massive veins of light run across his arms and legs, which end in large claws. Four wings strech out from his back, but two small to give a creature of his size flight. A large, whip-like tail sways softly behind him. He is missing an eye, and the other eye shines a deep red, combined with his massive, curved teeth make Beowulf appear extremely hostile and very intimidating. Usually standing on his legs, he sometimes goes onto all fours, to chase something down, or move his head closer to the person he is talking to.

Inner world:
(This gives everyone else an idea of your inner world)

Sealed appearance: Wakizashi

Shikai appearance: Beowulf morphs from a Wakizashi into a set of armoured gauntlets and Greaves. They both posses claws at the end, allowing for swipes as well as punches, or though the claws on the feet are harder to utilize. There are, much like Beowulf's body, veins of light running up both of them, which glow brighter under certain circumstance. They also create a small film across Mirja's eyes, protecting them from sudden flashes of blinding light.

Bankai appearance: (Bankai yet to be revealed)

Shikai special ability:

Shikai skills:
(NOTE: Seated Shinigami have up to 5 skills, Lieutenants and above can have all skills unlocked. Skills must also have cooldowns to prevent spamming)
1. Mighty Creature: Wolf of Bees: This technique takes Beowulf's Light and fills Mirja with it, strengthening her body and allowing her to move quicker than usual. However, she can not use 'Yami no Sekai' or any of it's sub-technique while using this. However, unlike 'Yami no Sekai' it does not rely on her ability to control her Reaitsu, and so is easier to use for her.
(Passive, 0 CD)
2. Wolf of Bees: Concentration: This sub-technique of 'Wolf of Bees' channels the light filling Mirja's body into a certain point, further increasing the strength at the cost of lacking strength to the rest of the body.
(Passive, 2 CD)
3. Titan Theft: Yami no Sekai(World of Darkness): The veins of light running across Beowulf's gauntlets and greaves glow brightly, before starting to absorb the light in the surrounding area, making a small bubble of pure darkness roughly seven feet wide. The technique forces a person - Mirja included - to use their other senses to fight, and opens up several sub-techniques at the same time. The usage of this is slightly draining on her Reaitsu, and can not be done multiple times without exhausting herself. Furthermore, a massive release of opposing Reaitsu will disrupt Mirja's control and destroy the bubble of darkness.
(4 post CD, 5 post max)
4. Yami no Sekai: Keimo(World of Darkness: Enlightenment): After Yami no Sekai is used, this technique beams a blinding shaft of light, directed by Mirja's splayed palm. This technique gains effectiveness the longer the person is under the effects of it's parent technique, since the blinding light does more damage the longer the person's eyes have been exposed to pure darkness.
(1 Post CD)
5. Yami no Sekai: Sentoerumo no jujihoka (World of Darkness: Crossfire of Saint Elmo) In this technique, after the usage of Yami no Sekai, the stolen light is compacted into the palms of the gauntlets, and then Mirja 'draws' a cross in the air, with the number of light photons and their frequency highly increased, pressing eight feet of light into a small cross-shaped area. Once finished, the Cross is launched in the direction of the target, setting them aflame if it hits them, with the electromagnetic energy of light being turned into thermal energy on contact. Also, on impact, the stolen light returns, which puts an end to Yami no Sekai.
(0 CD, but requires Yami no Sekai to be used, so Technically 4 CD)

[Kalas]

I've been hoping for a return of Bleach/Naruto RPs, they've been pretty scarce as of late.

[CaughtInTheRiddle]

@Zobozun

Quick question, how does Mother Mary believe in god... when this takes place in the afterlife?

[Zobozun]

@CaughtInTheRiddle
Clearly, this can't possibly be the real afterlife. It has no angels or harps or anything, and most of the people here don't even know who Jesus is.
Thus, it must be a place of trial. The existence of Hollows support this. Clearly, a place where strife and hardship continue to exist and beggars line the streets cannot possibly be the Promised Land.

[yoshua171]

Inb4 you look at the Soul King, who is clearly a God.

[CaughtInTheRiddle]

@Zobozun

Fair enough.

P.S.

As a place of trial though, wouldn't the use of a Shinigami's power be temptation into magic. Therefore making these people... witches?

Exodus 22:18 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live..."

[Phobos]

Inb4 you look at the Soul King, who is clearly a God.

@yoshua171

Well, its gonna be awkward when she meets him...

Almighty Soul King

[Zobozun]

You guys really don't have any comprehension of what the Judeo-Christian God is like, do you?
Or do you just enjoy frodoposting.

[yoshua171]

Maybe I don't @Zobozun, but I do have a pretty good understanding of what a troll looks like ^_^

[Zobozun]

Oh, so you are the sort of guy who likes to start arguments just for the sake of it.
Good to know.

EDIT: Actually, I'm curious. Are you seriously trying to imply I'm trolling or just being facetious?

[Phobos]

@Kalas
Yup and we plan to go til the very end xD so if you're interested in joining just let me know and I'll check if there's any open spots left ^.^

[yoshua171]

Oh, so you are the sort of guy who likes to start arguments just for the sake of it.
Good to know.

EDIT: Actually, I'm curious. Are you seriously trying to imply I'm trolling or just being facetious?

@Zobozun

I'm not sure if you are a troll, but it does sound like you're trolling. If I'm wrong, then lol good game, that was pretty funny, but...how can you be serious???

[CaughtInTheRiddle]

*Raises hands in defensive manner*

Hey, no need to get all snippy. I was just asking a serious question. Because, the logic was seriously flawed. I was generally curious.

[Kalas]

@Phobos Sounds good to me. I was looking toward the 7th Squad Lieutenant spot, but I then I saw the updated Roster that was posted like a minute beforehand. So instead, I wouldn't mind going for the 5th Squad Lieutenant if that's okay?
