Hell Idea

[Kitai Yoru]

This is mostly just a few thoughts I've been having for threads, characters, or just generally thoughts on how to make Hell races more appealing. Take my opinions and thoughts with a grain of salt, since I have a Saika, and this is mostly to help me get back to writing. Feel free to share any thoughts you might have.

Demonification: When a human dies, they can become many different things. Their souls can be transformed into Hollows, Shinigami, Beasts, and so much more. The souls that are cast down to Hell have considerably less options. No matter what the soul becomes once they fall in, they rarely leave, and never leave unscathed. There are those who are forced into this... and those who embrace it.

For those that are Hell-bound, they are tortured endlessly, breaking the strong, and destroying the weak. For those enduring the endless nightmare, there is a way to escape the pain, but it comes at a cost. Much like a hollow breaks their masks to become arrancar, a denizen of Hell can cast away their humanity to become a demon. This process is available to them at any time, and is encouraged by those around them, taunting them to do it, torturing them if they don't.

The weak ones break the easiest, and always have the most lackluster results once they fall. Imps, goblins, kobolds, these are generally the result of anyone who throws away what little of their soul they can still call their own away. They become stronger than they once were, but they become shells of what they were. They become truly soulless, completely heartless, and binding their existence to Hell for eternity.

Effects: Any Hell race, aside from Nakabaki, are able to use this transformation at any time. Once used, the character gains 400 sp, and can break the stat cap for one stat, upto 600. Their bodies automatically become the class 5, but will become class three if the character is 3 or higher.

Drawbacks: The character that uses this is never able to saigo, and if they die, no matter the circumstance, they will be consumed by Hell, tortured endlessly by becoming a part of the reality, never to be seen again.

Just a random thought I had, it's probably too strong, but I thought it would be pretty cool to show off characters that are less human, both in appearance and in attitude. 'Oh but that's what hollows, beast clan and Akki are for'. Yeah? So?


The Path to Redemption: They say that once you go to Hell, there is no escape, that you are bound to the burning pit forever. But those who've lived long enough know that nothing is eternal, and nothing is forever. There are ways to escape it, but they usually don't last long. But those who are strong enough to maintain themselves, those who manage to persevere, might have a chance to free themselves from the nightmares of Hell.

I'll update this later, tired. Comment or don't, your choice.

So... is this a new race then? If I'm reading this right, an Akki could become a demon, and gain even more SP? I can't see opening this to Akki making sense as they are already arguably the strongest race on the site.

Hason > Akki as Hollow > Arrancar was already how it worked to my knowledge, so this doesn't seem to make a great comparison. I know that we've had "true demons" alluded to with things like Lucifer. As far as I knew, they were a different entity entirely though.

And the drawback is that if they die, they die? That's the same as any non-hell race then. Not really a drawback.

If anything, I would just go for "Demon" as a different race. This seems like just an arbitrary power boost that, imo, isn't especially warranted, especially for Akki who already struggle to get threads because they're too OP. This seems like the kind of concept that should stick with things like Dios Vacuo and not really see the light of day for PvP.

Honestly I'm not terribly opposed to the idea however I'd argue this is limited to Akki and that it should be limited to those who are hollows that endure the tortures of hell. Basically have the idea function similarly to how hollows gain more SP if they go the arrancar route so long as they mask break. Only reason I'd even say you could have it work similar to that is because it's explicitly stated that akki are hell arrancar basically, the other races however? I don't see this being a thing that could feasibly get off. Mostly just due to the fact that those other races are what specific souls become if they enter hell hell from their respective area.


I do agree with Pie to have this potentially be another race though. However that would require a release amongst other things. But even then I don't feel like we really "need" another hell race considering that the most people do are use Nakabakki due to their mix and match potential. Not to mention I do feel like akki fit into the "demons" of hell idea as is but more like they are lesser demons if that considering there's at least 3 higher demons. If anything becoming a "demon" is actually more up the alley I was thinking with regards to the custom organization I'm going to work on so even then its more a title than anything and much more easy to get to than tryin gto make another race or add this ability to the hell races already.
