Naw, just poking fun :P

[♛] 𝓡equiem. // the rise of soldier.

So this is where you two slinked off too *smirks*

Provided I can come up with an idea and have the time (it looks like I will, but we shall see) I'll be throwing my interest in here as well. Still gotta look over the locations, but with the characters so far as samples to help give me a better idea of how SOLDIERS work, in addition to the Opening Posts, well...hehehe, I could make some interesting things.

We shall see. Regardless, I hope this does very very well ^_^

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Evelyn Chambers - Tulpa

---

As they'd been called, no ushered, into the meeting room she'd been oh so excited to be in earlier, Evelyn sat in her place and waited. Her face was angled down, her eyes looking at the floor, her hands in her lap, her posture not great but not entirely slouched either. The Director spoke, and with each realization she tensed. First her muscles became less relaxed, the cords of her neck standing out, her arms tensing and relaxing periodically. Then her fingers fidgeted and grabbed at one another, pulling enough on one another till it hurt a little, before she let go. Finally they clenched into fists and she found herself grinding her teeth and digging her nails into the palms of her hands.

She was fixated on the Director's words, essentialyl ignoring anyone else who spoke up, though she really ought to have been listening better, she didn't care. Then she heard 'Collin is done forever,' and looked up. She had liked their team leader, she had liked Sonar. He'd been so welcoming and she felt he'd led them well. Yet here the Director was removing him from the team, putting him down while he would probably be stuck in a fucking coma for the rest of his life, that or swiftly losing his mind.

A small part of her was in shock, but another part of her just felt things click into place. It all made sense. Then the Director just...moved on. She felt her knuckles crack a bit--heard them too--as she clenched her fists harder, knowing she was leaving deep marks in her palms from her nails.

She glanced at Messiah as she was elected team leader, but the look was brief before she--for the first time in the whole debriefing, as it were--looked directly at Director Kens. There was a glare in those eyes. Real, unrefined, barely controlled anger--enough to match his own, likely. This wasn't right.

This. wasn't. right.

The thought resonated in her head and her jaw clenched tighter. When they were dismissed, she sat for several moments longer, glaring at the Director. However, even if he did speak up, or if someone addressed her--a member of her team or not--all she'd give them was a harsh piercing glare, before getting up and stalking out of the room. Hopefully no one decided to touch her because they would quickly become aware of the faint silver light of her unmanifested projection, which had been spread throughout the meeting room the entire time.

Calling her mind state a "bad mood," would have been, well, a severe understatement.

The moment she was out of the room, she practically tore her mask off. Her teammates would have seen her face eventually, so she didn't care. Plus, she wasn't anywhere that tourists could see her. While she figured some of her teammates would go to their quarters or perhaps the team control room, she went to the gym. Her figuring out where it was could be summarized as her asking someone in a single three word order. "Directions. Gym. Now."

After being told where to go by what had been a very flustered, offput, and maybe disrespected individual, she made her way there, finding it quickly. Her projection helped her figure out the layout a bit--though parsing the information was annoying in its own right. Once she was there she stopped--doing so was a mistake.

The moment she wasn't moving, she realized she wasn't even sure what she had planned to do here. Playing a game wouldn't help. She didn't particularly want to lift weights or use any of the machines. What she wanted was a sparring match. Something to blow off steam. She could manifest her projection maybe and put it on autopilot, but the times she'd done that it hadn't felt very real since she could predict its movements through their shared senses.

So yeah, that wasn't going to work. Glancing around she found a place to sit down, her body slumping forwards as she set her mask down next to her and ran her hands over her face and then back through her hair. The anger was like a heat pulsating from her stomach outwards, twisting all her thoughts and clouding her judgement. She started forcing herself to take in deep breaths, despite knowing that calming down likely meant being numb or crying.

God this fucking sucked.

Varin Hraedel

---

---

Hider

Name: Varin Hraedel.

Age: 18.

Gender: Male.

Appearance: Standing at 5'7 and weighing in a bit below average for his age and height, Varin is a lanky, not terribly tall fellow with defined facial features and a cocky strut to his walk. He is often seen in hoodies, sneakers/tennis shoes and jeans, typically coupled with some tech. His hair is often unkempt and his clothes often torn...excepting his hoodies, which he takes very good care of for some reason.

Personality: Often bemused, fairly cocky and somewhat self absorbed, Varin is the sort that people either naively look up to and follow...or tend to just tolerate. Not having many pleasant sides, Varin is obsessive of his job and hobby, the former being that of a mechanic and the latter being tinkering. He's got an incredible affinity for technology where he lacks in care for humanity—something that plenty have joked is no coincidence, not that their jokes are founded....

Regardless to his easily amused, somewhat manipulative, and arrogant airs, Varin is pretty laid back and can enjoy the finer things in life—and by the lost constellations can he afford them. While not often seen, Varin is capable of sympathy and !GASP!, despite him almost trying to make people think he's some kind of sociopath. However, these behaviors are typically only displayed towards his creations, those who appreciate them...or animals.

Beyond this one ought to know not to mess with Varin's stuff, because they're like his children, and let me tell you you'll be just as screwed--provided you steal or damage something irreplaceable—as you would be for harming a grizzly bear mother's cub. So yeah...just don't.

Occupation: Restechnician/Mechanic/Student.

Core Ability: Simply put—naw, actually not so simply put—Varin's ability gives him a sort of enhanced intuition in regards to any tech he can get his hands on. However, while he would describe it this way, Varin's ability is in actuality a sort of contact initiated telekinesis that happens to allow him to—with extended contact—understand the way things he's in contact with function. For more complicated devices/things he has less experience with, it takes his ability longer to decipher how it works, etc etc. Additionally, it should be noted that Varin's ability becomes stronger/more precise if he retains physical contact for longer.

Biography: ”Psh, don't ask me stupid shit. You don't care about where I came from. So get on with it, the hell you in my shop for mmm?”

Miscellaneous: Having worked with some shady sorts, having a core ability that is practically made for his occupation, and also having taken over his now...'defunct' mentor's shop, he runs his own Restech Garage, as it were. It's pretty nice too. As a result he's got any number of Nick-knacks, inventions, commissions, and fixer-uppers lying around.

【Suimin Akumu】

【Kage/|\Combat/|\Sueño】

_{~"Just let me think in peace."~}

Hider

【Personal Info】

Hider

【Name: Long forgotten.
【Nicknames: Kage.
【Alias: Suimin Akumu(_睡眠悪夢 'Sleeping Nightmare').
【Age: 4137.
【Gender: Male.
【Race: Human-->Jibakurei-->Hollow.
【Form: Vasto Lorde.

【Additional Appearance Info: Standing at 5'5 and weighing 125 lbs, Kage's form is pale and lithe, his mask possessing no holes for eyes or mouth. His arms and legs are relatively thin, and his torso follows suit, possessing relatively narrow shoulders and hips he is not an intimidating figure to look at. Often walking with a slouch—when he does walk—Kage, despite his lithe form, does possess some natural weapons, which take the form of the narrows claws on his hands and feet. Beyond this there is only one thing of note, and this is the jet black, cloth-like material which lays in tatters that constantly drape his form. This tattered garment, as it were, has unearthly properties, its like being so black as to appear that one could fall into it as they would the depths of the ocean...or perhaps the void of space. Additionally, it should be noted that—despite his seeming lack of facial features—the Vasto Lorde is capable of spontaneously opening his mask to form both mouth and eyes. Oddly though...he does not appear to require either to see, speak or even eat.

【Biography: Unknown(Revealed IC, if at all).

【Personality: Kage is a strange enigmatic thing, tending to spend its time sitting wherever it can find solace and the peace that comes with the absence of others. He prefers to be alone, and prefers to go unmolested, as he keeps to himself. In this way he often appears to be quite the lazy bastard, and yet...he has attained a level of evolution that belies that fact. In truth, the hollow is merely a highly thoughtful and inquisitive individual who sees little point in interacting with others of its own kind—largely due to their violent nature. Having attained the height of naturally possible evolution, Kage has lost much of its drive to devour others to obtain ever more power. Instead the hollow binges, often starving himself for a long...long time before devouring hundreds of thousands of hollows in what one could describe as the most calm rampage they'll ever witness.

In all things, this hollow is calm and pensive, being one who takes little joy in activity, finding enjoyment only in the silence of his own mind...and more rarely in conversation with others. Oddly, despite having encountered beings of all persuasions—shinigami included—Kage has almost wholly failed to grasp the reason as to why people might come to hate him. While he fully understands why hollows are hated, reviled, and hunted in general...it just doesn't click for him as to why they must all be treated as such. Still, despite having seen his kin slaughtered by the dozens, he fosters no resentment for either humanity or the so-called shinigami.

As one would think of a being having reached the peak of hollow evolution, Kage possesses a good measure of confidence, but unlike many Vasto Lorde, he does not consider himself the most powerful among his kind and holds little care for status or rank. Instead, Kage puts value in the actions, words, and thoughts of others, caring more about how people see the world than where fate has placed them within it. Beyond this there are few further facts of note about this Vasto Lorde...except perhaps what the hollow refers to only as Sueño.

In short, Sueño is Kage's repressed violence, hunger, and malevolence, which dwells beneath a vast sea of silence and calm. Sueño is seldom seen by the world, and could be considered a separate personality from Kage. Where the latter is a serene and pensive being, Sueño is an instinct driven monstrosity, with little care for the thoughts, feelings, or lives of others. It is a persona bound by instinct and insatiable hunger. To Kage, it is a necessary evil, the antithesis of his typical persona, something which exists to balance him and to keep him sated. Typically, this other persona is only seen in three forms, either when Kage exits a long period of fasting to binge on any and all he can find; in times of great stress or emotion; and of course—though in a more controlled fashion—through his unique ability.

Qveenarion: Friend/Rival/Little Enigma

Another Vasto Lorde, one who gained his respect, Kage sees Qveenarion as an intriguing specimen. A Little Enigma, as it were. Something not wholly beyond explanation, but still not entirely understood. He sees her as something of a friend, something of a rival due to their similar nature, but most of all she is kin. She is one of like mind. An odd sort, forced to live and survive, to cope with a torturous existence even if she does not quite see it that way. He hopes that she will survive long enough to outlive her naivety, but he stakes little on the chance knowing how often hollows die...and are subsumed by their next of kin. Nonetheless...it is his wish that she is among the lucky few who escape such a fate. Only time will tell.

【Capabilities】

【General Aptitude】

Hider

Fighting Style:

A relaxed and pensive being, Kage prefers not to fight unless absolutely necessary so it stands to reason that his relaxed nature carries over somewhat to his style of combat. Essentially, the Vasto lorde is an almost endless font of energy, primarily using non-physical means to eliminate any threats to his person--or to hunt. He will use the extreme causticity of his reiatsu, his incredible control, and his rather frightening unique ability to defend and attack in equal parts--while utilizing his body only if forced to do so. Due perhaps both to his lax nature and lack of considerable durability, Kage prefers not to use his body at all if he can help it. However, if he should be forced to fight in close quarters his strength will surprise his opponents where his actual skill in melee fails. This when combined with his ability to amplify his physical durability with both his reiatsu and unique ability--in a fashion--can result in a similarly terrifying experience.

Of course...this is Kage's preferred method of combat. Sueño on the other hand prefers to get messy, closing the distance between an opponent and itself to tear into them and anchor them in place, while using Umbral Visage, the causticity/toxicity of its reiatsu and likely more than a few cero to obliterate all those who stand before it. Where Kage is cunning and has a mind for tactics--not that he always uses them--Sueño is a violent instinct-driven monster with a beastial aggression, and a tendency towards unrelenting, overwhelming assaults. In this, as in most things, the two persona are drastically different as one would expect.

【Specialization】

Hider

Kosui seiryoku(_狡い勢力 'Insidious power'): Mask(4); Reiatsu(4); Hunger(5); Instinct(5).

As per both the nature of Kage's unique power and the way in which he has developed during his time as a hollow, this ability has made itself known. In essence, Kosui seiryoku is the result of a hollow possessing terrifying levels of hunger coupled with dangerous levels of toxicity in regards to their reiatsu. When coupled with an ability to control their reiatsu, this becomes not just a passive effect, which eats away at all around them, and can instead become a directed skill—which is how it now manifests for Kage. This ability effectively allows Kage to easily control the shape and toxicity of his reiatsu, so as to not harm others...or to dissolves them with little physical effort.

Cero distraido('Indistinct hollow flash'): Mask(4); Power(3+); Instinct(5); Hollow Power(3+); Reiatsu(4).

An often fatal ability, Cero distraido takes on the form of a sphere with a maximum diameter of three feet. This sphere spins at a gradual rate, with two small extensions of energy turning as it does so, making its appearance almost reminiscent of a hurricane. Typically a light blue, this cero becomes darker and smaller the more power is channeled into it. When released, the cero briefly creates an intense flash of blue light, before outright vanishing altogether. In the moments that follow, whatever stands within its intended trajectory is violently struck/burned, provided they are strong enough to resist it. Even if they are above this number, so long as their scores remain below 5 they are almost sure to take a measure of damage, which will take the form of chemical burns as if an acid had struck them with the force of a truck. As such, unprepared individuals can be sent flying by the attack, and those too weak to withstand it, will be outright vaporized. While the attack appears invisible, it is detectable as its seeming disappearance is the result of the initial reiryoku being suddenly converted into reiatsu in a violent and directed fashion.

Note: To properly resist this ability and not be vaporized, requires that a shinigami have resilience or reiatsu scores at 3 or above; Hollows on the other hand must have at least two of the following stats above 3: Reiatsu, Integrity, Power, or Form. Some exceptions surely exist.

Cero alevoso('Treacherous hollow flash'): Power(3+); Reiatsu(5); Integrity or Hollow Power 4.

Initializing this technique by first forming a Cero, or in Kage's case, a Cero distraido, a hollow may then pour a significant portion of reiryoku into the attack, condensing it into a tiny marble-sized ball of energy in the palm of their hand. The hollow must then position their hand as if gripping a weapon, before creating a shell with their reiatsu. Once this shell is created the hyper condensed cero may be released, causing it to take the shape of the shell. The cero can then be utilized as a weapon or tool and can be released into a tremendous blast at any time.

More may come.

【Hollow Ability】

_{~"Step not into my shadow stranger, for within it lies only the Umbral Visage of death."~}

Ability Description: An ability seldom used, but always seen, Kage's Umbral Visage, is an ability which is fueled by his reiryoku and the reishi he passively or actively draws to it. Typically taking the form of the tattered strips of jet black material which adorn his form, the Umbral Visage is essentially a construct composed of reiryoku-bound reishi, which Kage is capable of altering in function and appearance. As one would expect of something composed of a hollow's bound reiryoku, the Umbral Visage is a caustic and abrasive thing, sheering away at anything it touches aside from its origin. This ability is thus Kage's primary method of consumption, as it allows him to break down and absorb/devour—though at varied rates—anything which makes contact with the material.

While the above are the most commonly seen traits of Kage's unique ability, they are not the whole of it as the truth lies in the Umbral Visage's ability to alter form as well as its core nature as bound reiryoku. Essentially, due to being a part of Kage's spirit, the Umbral Visage contains a share of his personality, though not the one he reveals to the world. No, instead it contains the much dreaded Sueño. As such, the Umbral Visage may act of its own accord, defending Kage and reinforcing or supplementing his own actions, should he choose—or be forced—to fight. Beyond this, all there is to know as that his Umbral Visage has a set range of 5 meters which it cannot exit. This meaning that his ability cannot detach from his body and act autonomously outside of this field, though it can extend up to 10 meters radius so long as it maintains some contact with his form. Lastly, the Umbral Visage's ability to regenerate, add, and alter its form remains dependent on Kage's own regenerative ability as well as the rate at which he consume reishi—resulting in a higher regen factor in the Visage in comparison to his own body. Beyond this...there is little else to say.

Kosui seiryoku(_狡い勢力 'Insidious power'): Mask(4); Reiatsu(4); Hunger(5); Instinct(5).

As per both the nature of Kage's unique power and the way in which he has developed during his time as a hollow, this ability has made itself known. In essence, Kosui seiryoku is the result of a hollow possessing terrifying levels of hunger coupled with dangerous levels of toxicity in regards to their reiatsu. When coupled with an ability to control their reiatsu, this becomes not just a passive effect, which eats away at all around them, and can instead become a directed skill—which is how it now manifests for Kage. This ability effectively allows Kage to easily control the shape and toxicity of his reiatsu, so as to not harm others...or to dissolves them with little physical effort.

Cero distraido('Indistinct hollow flash'): Mask(4); Power(3+); Instinct(5); Hollow Power(3+); Reiatsu(4).

An often fatal ability, Cero distraido takes on the form of a sphere with a maximum diameter of three feet. This sphere spins at a gradual rate, with two small extensions of energy turning as it does so, making its appearance almost reminiscent of a hurricane. Typically a light blue, this cero becomes darker and smaller the more power is channeled into it. When released, the cero briefly creates an intense flash of blue light, before outright vanishing altogether. In the moments that follow, whatever stands within its intended trajectory is violently struck/burned, provided they are strong enough to resist it. Even if they are above this number, so long as their scores remain below 5 they are almost sure to take a measure of damage, which will take the form of chemical burns as if an acid had struck them with the force of a truck. As such, unprepared individuals can be sent flying by the attack, and those too weak to withstand it, will be outright vaporized. While the attack appears invisible, it is detectable as its seeming disappearance is the result of the initial reiryoku being suddenly converted into reiatsu in a violent and directed fashion.

Note: To properly resist this ability and not be vaporized, requires that a shinigami have resilience or reiatsu scores at 3 or above; Hollows on the other hand must have at least two of the following stats above 3: Reiatsu, Integrity, Power, or Form. Some exceptions surely exist.

Cero alevoso('Treacherous hollow flash'): Power(3+); Reiatsu(5); Integrity or Hollow Power 4.

Initializing this technique by first forming a Cero, or in Kage's case, a Cero distraido, a hollow may then pour a significant portion of reiryoku into the attack, condensing it into a tiny marble-sized ball of energy in the palm of their hand. The hollow must then position their hand as if gripping a weapon, before creating a shell with their reiatsu. Once this shell is created the hyper condensed cero may be released, causing it to take the shape of the shell. The cero can then be utilized as a weapon or tool and can be released into a tremendous blast at any time.

More may come.

【Hollow Ability】

_{~"Step not into my shadow stranger, for within it lies only the Umbral Visage of death."~}

Ability Description: An ability seldom used, but always seen, Kage's Umbral Visage, is an ability which is fueled by his reiryoku and the reishi he passively or actively draws to it. Typically taking the form of the tattered strips of jet black material which adorn his form, the Umbral Visage is essentially a construct composed of reiryoku-bound reishi, which Kage is capable of altering in function and appearance. As one would expect of something composed of a hollow's bound reiryoku, the Umbral Visage is a caustic and abrasive thing, sheering away at anything it touches aside from its origin. This ability is thus Kage's primary method of consumption, as it allows him to break down and absorb/devour—though at varied rates—anything which makes contact with the material.

While the above are the most commonly seen traits of Kage's unique ability, they are not the whole of it as the truth lies in the Umbral Visage's ability to alter form as well as its core nature as bound reiryoku. Essentially, due to being a part of Kage's spirit, the Umbral Visage contains a share of his personality, though not the one he reveals to the world. No, instead it contains the much dreaded Sueño. As such, the Umbral Visage may act of its own accord, defending Kage and reinforcing or supplementing his own actions, should he choose—or be forced—to fight. Beyond this, all there is to know as that his Umbral Visage has a set range of 5 meters which it cannot exit. This meaning that his ability cannot detach from his body and act autonomously outside of this field, though it can extend up to 10 meters radius so long as it maintains some contact with his form. Lastly, the Umbral Visage's ability to regenerate, add, and alter its form remains dependent on Kage's own regenerative ability as well as the rate at which he consume reishi—resulting in a higher regen factor in the Visage in comparison to his own body. Beyond this...there is little else to say.
