Death & the Sign Up III

This section borrows from the timeline of the previous two, so I'm not going to make an updated story or background. Additionally, returning characters don't have to use this form, but they still need to have all changes since the end of God Yet Lives approved in this topic.

Name: First & last.
Age: Actual & apparent, where necessary. For instance, a Yamamoto looked about 80, but he was actually 2000, or so.
Appearance: What the character looks like, with a description &/or an image.
Type: Soul Reaper, Hollow, yadayada. No senior Captains or Vasto Lordes level Arrancar.
Bio: A short history of the character.
Abilities: A description of the character's skill in terms of spiritual pressure, Kido, speed, & swordsmanship. Spiritual pressure is the power resevoir for attack and defense, Kido or an equivalent skill is magic, speed includes basic speed and the Flash Step, & swordsmanship can be substituted with any kind of weapon proficiency. Please try not to make it maxed across the board.
Power: Simply put, the Zanpakuto. Put more complicatedly: Characters don't necessarily have to be Soul Reaper or Arrancar, but whatever it is, it follows the sealed-->initial-->final form format. So an Arrancar would have a Ressurrecion & a Segunda Etapa, a Soul Reaper would have a Shikai & a Bankai, & a human who had powers would have them manifest in some kind of 2-stage thing. The second stage can be put off until a later date. Hollowfication or Shinigamification is also an option.
Other: Other stuff to note...pretty self-explanatory.

I've read these applications several times but I still feel something isn't right about them.

~Sign-Up~
Name: Hector Cyprus
Age: Roughly 200.
Appearance: Hector appears to be about 20-30 and is an average height and weight (5'11 and 75kg) with unkempt black hair that just goes down past his grey eyes. He wears a black coat/cloak outfit that goes down past his feet and trails on the ground. His mask fragment is half of a jaw bone on the left side of his face.
Type: Arrancar.

Bio: Hector lived as a respected noble man who spent his time travelling the world and murdering innocent people in elaborate ways. Eventually he was beaten at his own game and killed by one of his victims. He became a Hollow and liked to hunt by using other Hollows to lure Soul Reapers to his location before killing them and eating everybody himself (including his Hollow friends). One day, after Hector had become very strong, he found that he was evolving into an Arrancar.
After becoming an Arrancar, Hector became even more confident in his own comfort zone but was reluctant to venture into the affairs of others. He spent a long time senselessly murdering and devouring weak Hollows until he met with another Arrancar down in the forest. Hector defeated the other Hollow but decided he would like a servant and made him his bodyguard and servant in exchange for being kept alive and safe himself. The Arrancar's name was Eduj.
After the King of Hueco Mundo and his allies left, Hector and Eduj occupied Las Noches and decided they would rebuild it and become the rulers of Hueco Mundo. During the time spent battling the forces of Hell, Hector, Eduj and some other Hollows who Hector decided would be his loyal subjects built a hollow dome out of the same material as the crystal trees. They also restored the throne in the centre of the dome's interior. Soon after the dome's completion a giant Arrancar fell out of a Garganta. Naturally, when they couldn't wake him up, Hector and Eduj ate him and received a considerable boost in Spiritual Pressure.When Senthose returned to Hueco Mundo and discovered that Hector had made himself King, he was given a choice- leave or die. Instead, Hector asked if he and Eduj could still live in the castle they built if they gave up the throne without a fight. Fortunately their proposal was accepted.

Abilities: Hector has a very high spiritual pressure (equal to that of Astarte, but far less repressed), is a decent swordsman, has a moderate Hierro and has an impressive sonido. He also possesses a regeneration ability second only to Senthose himself and can extend it to minorly regenerate others. Another unique ability that he has outide of his release form is his "Cadenas"- he can generate up to 20 invisible strings from his fingertips that can extend for a distance of about 50m, change in direction and only become visible when moving. These strings are extremely strong, and could easily be used to slice straight through flesh. His Ceros and Ballas are grey.

Power:
Zanpakuto Name- Marioneta
Zanpakuto Release- "Dance"
Ressureccion Appearance- Hector's Zanpakuto becomes absorbed into his skin through his hands and his body suddenly changed. His mask fragment grows into a full face mask which appears as an expressionless human face and his right hand becomes a massive clawed hand with an unnatural amount of joints and foot long claws. The cloak that covers the rest of his body frays at the bottom and on the end of the sleeves and his left hand becomes surrounded in a black shroud.
Ressureccion Abilities-
1. Vuelta: Hector's entire body can change and make itself appear to be something else entirely. He can appear to be a tree, a stone, a fish or a human or anything else he desires. All of his defining features will change and he will even take on the outfit of a copied person. He is also able to vaguely copy another's Spiritual Pressure.
2. Mejores Cadenas: Hector's strings can now be fired at a distance of 120m from any part of his body and are tougher than steel. He can also attach Cero and Ballas to the strings which will simply carry along it appearing as a slight glow before exploding at the end of the string. When not in use, the strings become invisible again and do not interact with other objects until pulled on again. When being brought back from this unused state, strings can not pass through hard solid objects (people, rocks, trees etc.).
3. Canción Forma: Hector can produce a humming noise which seems to echo throughout any space and can be used to form a transparent shield around himself in a bubble at about the strength of his own moderate Hierro. A different note produced can instead form a glowing grey ball in his palm which launches dozens of balla-like dart-shaped projectiles at a rapid pace (roughly 3 fired per second). These abilities are a drain on his Spiritual Pressure and so are best to use in moderation.

Other: Hector's aspect of death is deceit.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
~Sign-Up~
Name: Eduj
Age: 532.
Appearance: Eduj is a tall, gaunt and pale man with very few defining features besides his bright golden eyes and short white hair. He wears a butler's uniform which Hector stole for him to wear, thinking it was quite suitable.
Type: Arrancar.

Bio: Eduj lived a short life as one of many terribly poor men and women living in filthy slums. Eventually he died due to the poor living conditions he was subjected to. In Hueco Mundo he learned that there could be no living peacefully, and the best way to survive was to ambush the unwary. He would spend day after day for years slaying Hollows from the shadows and devouring them.
Eventually he reached a stage where he was able to evolve into an Arrancar, but he knew of no other place to go and so tried to continue on with his old life. Very soon he met with Hector Cyprus, who nearly killed him but chose to spare him in exchange for his service and protection. Eduj accepted and secretly enjoyed the idea of having someone to talk to, even though he did not talk much.
After building most of the castle for Hector, Eduj was hesitant to give it up to this "Senthose Rasherverek" and was pleased to be allowed to stay there, even if Hector was not King.

Abilities: Eduj's spiritual pressure is almost equal to Hector's and he has an extremely hard Hierro as well as incredible strength (easily comparable to Enkidu's strength in second release form if not stronger), however he is a poor swordsman and has an abysmal sonido. His Cero is completely black.
When near death Eduj's body completely breaks apart and reveals a tiny doll that could fit in the palm of a human's hand. This doll is capable of fleeing with sonido to regrow it's body later on.

Power:
Zanpakuto Name- Fuerte de Muñeca
Zanpakuto Release- "Stand"
Ressureccion Appearance- Eduj's body and clothes seem to split in half and fall away to either side, revealing a bone white mannequin of a man with no eyes or nose and a gaping mouth. The two sides of his sealed form are sucked into his mouth and his arms turn to groups of 12 whip-like weapons with ends as sharp as Zanpakuto's.
Ressureccion Abilities- His many arm-spears can extend for about one hundred metres and unlike him are very fast. Ceros and Balla can be fired from the ends of the arm-spears. By vomiting out white piles of goop he can grow copies of himself with normal arms but the same incredible strength. If he desires, Eduj can turn his feet to roots which dig far into the ground and wrap his arm-spears around himself to make an almost immovable object.

Other: After countless months and years in the darkness of the deep Menos Forest, Eduj has developed an acute sense for Spiritual Pressure and excellent hearing.

Problems:

1. Nothing about Astarte.
2. The things about being turned into an Arrancar by some dude make no sense.
3. The strings & the noise seem overpowered.
4. 12 whips is okay, if that is what you mean, but 24 is too much.

12 is what I mean, sorry.

Both accepted. Now, for my own characters:

Euryale is now almost 29. She has a job studying seismic activity and developing methods to predict earthquakes. When there are no quakes, she isn't very busy. She spends the free time either helping John, or with Noctis.

Senthose has been ruling over Las Noches. For a period of time, the Central 46 had sent assassins after him. He informed them that he'd come after them if they did not stop. The Central 46 proposed a retaliatory war, but it was unpopular among the nobles, who just barely survived two wars, and they instead agreed to a non-aggression treaty. In his own domain, he decrees 2 absolute laws: No going to the Soul Society & no consuming or conspiring against other Hollows in or from his territory. Other matters of governance are only for the concern of higher-level beings.

Lilith has taken over the Psyche Estate and been promoted to Captain. She is organizing a vaca--diplomatic mission to visit Hueco Mundo and the Living World.

Aroma is living with Mortal & Sab. She hasn't changed much.

Noctis: After the death of her mother Noctis is now the absentee CEO of a large private equity firm. She lets the business run itself for the most part, trusting in its council to make smart decisions. This allows Noct to stay home and sleep.

Mortab: Chillin'. Mortal goes to Hueco Mundo every now and again to see what is going on, but she mostly just stays at home. Sab is very much the same sheep lady.

Astarte: Astarte has spent the last 17 months lingering around Las Noches and trying to become stronger. Her efforts have not been in vain and she has achieved Segunda Etapa:

2nd Ressureccion Appearance:
Astarte's wings extend roughly a meter in length and her eyes revert to their sparkling blue colour with a red rim. Black tendrils snake out of the claws of her right hand and form an entirely black scythe almost as long as she is tall. Once formed, the scythe loses all physical connection to Astarte's body.
What appears to be a glowing white star with eight points also burns itself onto her chest just above her left breast. The star dims as Astarte grows weaker. It is also extremely noticable that she is no longer either quiet and unemotional or angry and sadistic. Instead, she is a serene, confident new person.

Powers:
1. Astarte's lightning can now be fired easily with far more power than before from her fingers, scythe blade or eyes.
2. Astarte is now much faster and is able to produce up to 8 clones at a time and can keep up with or exceed most.
3. By touching any surface with her palm, Astarte can place a crest identical to the one on her chest. At any time (chosen by Astarte) the crest will explode violently (the strength of a very strong Cero). Only one crest can be placed at a time.
4. The crest can be used as a teleportation device as well. As long as two creasts exist, Astarte can either move to one or have it moved to her. If the object attached to the crest is part of a large construct, only part of it (up to 5m around the crest) will be teleported. The crests will always appear adjacent to each other.
5. Once the scythe has cut somebody, it has "tasted" their Spiritual Pressure. After this, it can choose to make that Spiritual Pressure it's special prey. A target with this Spiritual Pressure will be wounded twice as severely as any other from the same strike. Only one Spiritual Pressure can be "prey" at a time.

Accepted. I'll get this shit underway as soon as I have some ice cream in me.

Got some spare time. So hey everybody.

Name: Ko Tsuyoi
Age: 70 (appears 13)
Appearance: Ko is about 5" tall, weighs 45kg and had shoulder length white hair that is usually all messy, he also has highly tanned skin with red eyes. He wears a regular soul reaper uniform with black gloves and black boots.
Type: Soul Reaper
Bio: Ko didn't have any friends and hated living in the poor districts, so he put his spiritual pressure to use and entered the soul reaper academy. Though it took him some time to get used to authority and he wasn't very good at using Kido, he ended up graduating and became a member of the 3rd Division under Captain Ichimaru and Lieutenant Izuru. During Aamon's attack on the soul society Ko found a place among other surviving shinigami and killed a lot of hollows. Since the soul society was rebuilt he was sent on a few assignments to the living world to guard densely populated areas.
On these assignments, Ko trained himself and perfected the use of his Shikai. Recently Ko has returned to the soul society and hopes to be considered for the position of Lieutenant for one of the many lacking divisions.
Abilities: Ko's spiritual pressure is at about Lieutenant/3rd seat level, he is moderately capable with Kido and Shunpo and is a decent swordsman.
Power:
Name and Release Phrase: "Spare none, Satsugai."
Appearance: A scythe almost as tall as Ko with a foot long blade and a small spearhead on the other end of the shaft. Up the length of the shaft there are ancient looking runes that gradually glow more and more brightly.
Powers: Satsugai is lighter than it appears and it's speartip can be used to fire Kido at an incantation strength without an incantation. As a fight progresses, the runes up the shaft grow brighter for each strike landed. After ten strikes Satsugai is fully charged and can launch a large, concentrated arc of red reiatsu in the vague shape of a snake. This strike is at about the strength of a Haien but much larger.
Other: Hates it when people look down on him.

Name: Aera Turmill
Age: 500+, looks 20.

Appearance:

Type: Arrancar
Bio: Aera and her younger brother both died during a great battle in the 16th century. She died first, protecting him, but unfortunately so did he a few hours later. He was quickly found by Soul Reapers that helped him to the Soul Society, but she wasn't so lucky, and after some time became a Hollow. She was a vicious Adjuchas until she somehow managed to remove her mask some time ago. Despite resenting the Soul Society and her brother, she chose to stay in the shadows during Aamon's rise and the invasion of the Soul Society, unwilling to hurt her brother but afraid to confront Aamon. For some time after that, she was unsure of what she should do next, until she was reunited with her friend, Iris. In her vendetta against the Soul Society, Aera joined a scheme to attack it with Iris and Enkidu. However, during the invasion, she discovered her brother had died quite some time ago. Realizing the hatred she had been feeling for so long didn't make sense, she made peace with it and returned to stop Kite and Iris from killing each other. She has since been peacefully living in a cavern in Hueco Mundo with Iris.
Abilities: Aera has a very high spiritual pressure, very high physical strenght, good speed, terrible swordsmanship, & under average Hierro.
Power: Glaciate, Zorro - In her Resurección, Aera acquires large black metal gauntlets that increase her physical strenght and help her condense her spiritual pressure, that she uses to crush her frozen enemies. She grows long black fox ears stretched back over her actual ears, a black fox tail, and her white jacket and sandals turn black to match the new features and the Soul Reaper hakama. She gains the power to control black ice. This ice is fragile, but it can reflect large amounts of Reiatsu, which means it can only be destroyed with physical attacks when Aera's spiritual reserves are high. She uses it to redirect enemy attacks, and, if she manages to freeze a target's bodypart, she can reflect the Reiatsu in that body part away from it, or, in a way, suck it out. As she grows weaker in battle, so does the ice's ability. In this form she can also use a modified Cero, called Menos Que Cero. This Cero is dark teal, and it has the same effect as a normal Cero except its resulting explosion will flash freeze in black ice, allowing Aera to freeze a large area quickly. Lastly, she can create Sombras Heladas, which are clones of herself that are actually made of her black ice, which means they can reflect Reiatsu off of themselves. They have her physical strenght but retain the ice's fragility. However, while she has active clones, all of her ice that isn't part of the clones loses its ability. She can only create up to four of these clones, and they require a massive amount of Reiatsu, for which reason she only uses them as a last resource.

Name: Iris Schrodencloud
Age:
Appearance: 19
Actual: 631
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Type: Arrancar
Bio: Since his battle with Kite during the invasion of the Soul Society, he's grown closer to Aera, living in Hueco Mundo with her. During this time, he's also been training should he have to fight in the future, and has become stronger in the months that have gone by. Despite hoping that he'll be able to live peacefully from now on, he has the feeling that something will soon happen.

Abilities: (All have been increased by one rank)
Spiritual pressure: High
Cero, Bala, Hierro, etc: Powerful
Speed: Above average
Swordsmanship: Above average

Power:

Resurreccion
Release phrase: Stab and protect, Armadillo.
Iris grows white plated armor all over his body, and his Zanpakuto becomes a lance.

Resurreccion abilities:

- Increased defense due to the armor.
- Can create spherical barriers that can protect people; the pattern on them look like armadillo shells.
- Slows down his speed a little bit, in return for increasing his Hierro's strength.

Spoiler:

Segunda Etapa

***Going to be added later on***

Other: His ceros and balas are white colored.

Whatever.

Since that Ko is entirely redundant and hasnt been introduced or anything, i figured I'd make a new submission (forgetting that one, obviously).

Name: Ko "The Weaver" Tsuyoi
Age: 200 (appears 20.)
Appearance: Ko is about 5'5" tall, weighs 50kg and has shoulder length white hair that is usually all messy as well as heavily tanned skin and red eyes. He wears a regular shinigami outfit but with a long black cape and black boots.
Type: Soul Reaper.
Bio: Ko didn't have any friends and hated living in the poor districts, so he put his spiritual pressure to use and entered the soul reaper academy. Despite being boastful, annoying and generally considered a douche he graduated quickly and was acknowledged for his abilities. During the invasion by Aamon, Ko spent his time trying to defend survivors from Hollows by using his unique ability. He was also forced to deal with the hollowfication virus during this time.
After this invasion he was appointed 4th seat of the 3rd division and has been given two long assignments to densely populated cities in the living world. The second of these assignments finished three months ago and since then he has been idle in the soul society and hopes to be considered to fill a vacant position as lieutenant for one of the lacking divisions.
Abilities: Ko has the reiatsu of a lieutenant, is a moderate kido user and swordsman and a regular shunpo.
Power:
Name and Release Phrase: "Make and unmake, Satsugai!"
Appearance: Ko drops his zanpakuto to the ground where it sinks entirely. After this action he can call on tiny strings from anywhere in the immediate area to form either a pair of frisbee-like disks or a barbed whip. These weapons glow bright blue and always leave a distinct after image on the eyes.
Powers: The true power of Ko's zanpakuto is to leach reiatsu. The strings he draws from the ground to form his weapons are really both residual reiatsu and the rieatsu of nearby spirit beings. His whip also has a special ability. On impact with a construct or being of high reiatsu, it will absorb some reiatsu in a single moment, usually enough to boost his own abilities for a short time.
Hollowfication Appearance: Ko's hollowfication is more similar to a visor than a mask. It covers only his eyes and forehead, appearing as a red mask with black lines criss crossing it.
Hollowfication abilities: Not only does the hollowfication raise his speed and reiatsu to a near captain level, but it allows him to fire cero and bala from his eyes as well as perfectly track just about any movements.
Other: Ko hates his hollowfication because of how ugly he thinks it is and has barely used it. Most are unaware of it.

I might also make a suggestion, since you (Neo) didnt think it was convenient to introduce Ko before, that you just send him the the world of the living to investigate why so many reiatsu's are clashing, or something.

No can do. I've decided the Soul Society can't be involved with the Tsukishima Incident in any official fashion, or it will dick up the entire plot.

Even if it's just some random ass 4th seat without a clue of what's going on?

Make an arrancar or something. Mortal needs could use more chicks in her harem.

He is not "some random 4th seat with no clue of what's going on," you made it a point that he spends most of his time in Soul Society, that he's trying to become Lieutenant, & you suggested that he be on assignment.

That's pretty fucking official.

Also, I'd rather not see Kyoujin: Resurrection.

Make a better* arrancar.

Yeah, i get you, but I was more saying he's a freaking dumb ass and the Soul Society probably just wants him to see what's happening in the first place. Since Tsuki is in this, he probably won't get to make a real report anyway.

But if you're certain, I may make somebody else. Not an arrancar.

EDIT
I think of it as being sort of like them sending a lieutenant class Ganju on assignment, but more douche-y.

A Soul Reaper is doable, with proper justification.

Look at Atae & Lilith--they weren't even on assignment when Tsukishima started being an asshole.

Tsukishima was probably born being an asshole. I assume the doctor that pulled him out of his mother thought that Baby Shu taught him everything he knew about medicine.

@Script I laughed.

@NEO yeah, I'll give it some more thought. How far through is this? I probably won't join if its nearly over.

I would say this arc is about halfway through.

I'd ask about a Quincy invasion arc, but that was basically the first arc.

That is one problem, the other problem is that there is so little out yet that I would quickly overtake it & then we'd be screwed.

I don't really know what I even COULD do for a fourth arc.
