Dislikes: [Create a List below.]
Asim’s Dislikes:
Poverty: He was born into this world as a human with nothing and he hated it each day he had to risk his life to even get the basics to live.
Starving: Asim had to go to bed with an empty stomach many nights. Until someone has experienced the feeling of having nothing in their stomach except for air they can't understand how much pain it can be. Asim doesn't want to relive that feeling of his past ever again as long as he can help it.
Sand: It's dirty messy and a pain to get out of hair. Asim likes to keep himself clean so sand is a no go. However he doesn't mind it as much when it's at the beach because of all the water.
Begging for money: He had to do it once or twice as a child to try to scrape up enough to even try to afford money. He hated the way people looked down at him as if they were disgusted by the fact that he even existed. Some took piety on him and that made it worse because Asim didn't like the feeling of being lesser than someone else.
Being pitied: Asim hated the feeling he got when others gave him pity it makes him feel less of a human each time it happened.
Cold weather: Living in the desert for all of his life he got use to the hot weather so now he can't stand being cold. It just seems odd to him that the the world can create things that are cold when it isn't night time.
Snow: It's like sand except made of frozen water. If you eat it you actually get more thirsty. No point in having it it's nice to look at for a few moments but besides that it's pointless.
Night time: The darkness the cold of the night and the emptiness that you feel when sleeping alone outside. Nothing about the night is romantic for Asim because in the dark everything seems to die. As a thief the night was his friend, but he didn't enjoy it.
Killing: Asim has never been a killer, he doesn't like the act of ending someone else's life. He was a thief not a bandit and only stole so he could live not so he could kill someone. Asim will kill if needed, but that doesn't mean he likes it.
Modsouls: They aren't real people nor real souls. There's no reason for them to have ever existed or exist. They do nothing and steal bodies from others.
White clothing: While there is nothing wrong with the color white it gets dirty way too fast. It's a pain to keep clean or keep blood from staining on white.
Likes: [Create a list below.]
Asim’s Likes:
Gold: Asim isn't a shallow person however he does like the shine of gold and the wonderful things he can make with it.
Working with precious metals: Late in his life he took up a craft to avoid having to stealing for the rest of his life. Being a thief for so many years he learned what the value was for almost everything having to deal with gold and jewelry. One day he got the chance to take up the trade of a jeweler and never looked back on his old life. Working with the metals brought him some happiness till he died.
His looks: Asim was and is very vain about himself and his looks he takes great pride in keeping himself in the best condition possible and doesn't
Animals: Asim likes them they have simple goals and have no care about what mankind does. They live without poverty and greed. They just act on the instinct to survive something Asim can relate to.
Women: Even as a hollow he still likes girls. As a human he loved flirting and using his looks to get what he wants from them making them dance around his fingers. As a hollow their souls seem sweeter to eat and are more enjoyable to consume.
Being clean: There is nothing worse than being dirty and having dirt over his god blessed body. Even as a hollow he hates the fact that he gets dirty.
Sunlight: Ra the sun god blesses the world with his power and gives us light so that we may be warm and have life. There is nothing better than being in the sun.
Water: We need water to survive and as a bandit having water sometimes is worth more than gold. He learned this fast. Water can save your life and you can never have enough of it.
Warm weather: The heat is a gift from the gods to the world so people should embrace it and bask in all of it's wonder. It warms the soul and keeps you from freezing to death.
Going Nude: Asim loves showing off his body so much so that as a human there were times that he just walked around nude showing off his body to everyone.
Flaws: [Create a list below.]
Asim’s Flaws:
Vanity: There is no way around it Asim is extremely Vain. He takes great care in making sure he is completely perfect in his looks from his clothing to his hair. He prides himself on looking amazing and often sees himself as the ideal male form.
Sensitive about his scar: The one flaw on his body that he has is his scar and he hates being reminded about it. It's a constant reminder of how he isn't flawless anymore and that is own arrogance cost him his life. He tries to hide his scar under his long hair and keep it out of sight. If asked out his scar he will try to ignore it and fake ignorance about it. If one wanted to really get Asim mad they could easily mock his scar.
Kleptomania: After becoming a hollow he developed a need to take any and all gold he could see. Asim will often steal gold from anything and anyone he comes across. As long as he can take it he will, he doesn't even know why or that he did it until it happens. This is probably due to his past as a thief and his impulse to steal gold as a human to survive. Now as an inner hollow he still has this issue and when [placeholder] is sleeping he steals any gold nearby using his body.
Horrible cook: Asim can't cook to save anyone's life he is so bad in fact that the last time he tried he set fire to the whole kitchen and all he was making was a salad.
Hording gold: All the gold Asim has stolen or taken he gathers up and hordes it in his own personal stash
Habits: [Create a list below.]
Asim’s Habits
Going nude: As a human he went around nude a lot, as a hollow it's harder to do that but he will somehow state that he is naked under the form he is in.
Thinking he is more beautiful than others even as a hollow. There's no way around it he is egotistical and him being a hollow will not stop that. He knows what he looks like normally so he won't let others get him down.
Speaking and thinking in the third person: Asim believes himself so important that he deserves to be always refereed to in the third person no matter who is speaking.
Saying “by the god's will”: Even in death Asim still believes in the gods of ancient Egypt and that everything that happens to him is the will of the gods and nothing more.
Fears: [Create a list below.]
Asim’s fears
Being trapped as a zan spirit forever: Asim wants to get passed being stuck as a a zan spirit for a weakling, but he fears that the longer he stays like this the more likely he will be stuck for the rest of time.
Being eaten by Ammit: Asim knows that his heart will fail the test at the end of the afterlife he has come to terms with this. What he hasn't gotten over is being eaten by Ammit. He doesn't want to be eaten the whole idea scares him.
Crocodiles: They have the head of Ammit and look like him. Each one to him could be Ammit waiting to strike. However when he sees one he doesn't run he goes into a frenzy and attacks wildly and without control.
Getting the contents of a trash can thrown on him: Asim loves to be clean, what's the opposite of clean? The trash that is in the trashcans. Those things are just sitting there collecting filth he can't even imagine what kinds of horrible things live in those things.
Goals: [Create a list below.]
Asim has two goals the first is to take back control of the body that is his. [Placeholder] may look like Asim as he did in his youth with a more fair complexion, however Asim knows that the body that they have as a shingami belongs to him and him alone. He will do everything in his power to take over the body permanently.
The second goal is to devour [placeholder]. The simple fact that someone like [placeholder] is even daring to be in the same body as Asim is an offense to him of the highest degree. As such he will only be satisfied once he permanently consumes [placeholder] It won’t be enough to take over the body, he needs to make sure that [placeholder] can never come back.
Alignment: [Insert Here]
Overall Personality: [Insert Here]
Asim’s Personality:
Greed and vanity, both of those words could be used to speak about Asim and they would be spot on as to what kind of a person he was when he was living. Many traits of his human personality have passed on even being a hollow. While most hollows are driven by hunger Asim is driven by the need to become beautiful on the outside. This is his main goal in life and he views it as the only reason he needs to have to do anything. He will accomplish this by any means necessary, even if that means to give into the hunger and eat the souls of the living and the dead. Asim believes that as a human he was blessed by the gods with beauty and cunning, he believed that he was to be a new pharaoh over his people.
His greed stems from him not having anything as a child. Being poor and a beggar for a while made him hungry for more, he always wanted more. No matter what it was he wanted more. He found a chance to become a thief and he took it instantly, there was nothing better than taking riches from those who did not need it. To him all the wealth in the world is his for the taking, gold seemed to slip into his hands so easily and yet none of it ever seemed to slip away. Money made him happy, it filled a hole he had in his heart that grew from the lack of care from his own family. Yet even though he collected many treasures it never seemed enough for him. It consumed him and made him want more. He soon found himself stealing from people who had less than him just to fill this greed and he had no problem with it at all. From the same beggars he use to belong to he stole from.
Asim would of continued as a thief if it wasn't for the fact that the group of thieves he was working with eventually started to become highway bandits killing people for money and for fun. As a young man he saw the value in life of others, not as human beings, but as servants to those chosen by the gods like himself. All life had value as slaves to him. He doesn't see normal humans as his equal nor others for that matter. In this he sees himself as a being above the normal souls, which is why he started to refer to himself in the third person.
His physical appearance is so important that it affects his actions in everyday life and the choice of colors he wears. Now he does dislike killing people, however he will do it, if they aren't worthy of being his servants or are just in his way. There is one other exception, he hates when people run from him because of how he looks now as a hollow. Those that run are hunted down by him and forced to say he's the most beautiful creature they have ever seen before he eats their soul. It is important to him that every soul he eats states how beautiful he is before he consumes them. Now while that might not happen he will comment on how good he looks. It is something that he often does in battle or just in everyday situations.
Going along with his physical obsession is his dislike for clothing. He acknowledges that clothing does need to be worn by some people. Mostly the ugly ones to hide their hideousness from the world and him. However he believes that his perfect body should be seen by the world and will openly refuse to wear clothing half the time. Meaning he will proudly strut around naked given the chance, as a human he did it in his own home or behind closed doors, which often lead to many of the females who were charmed by him to get the wrong idea and believe that he wanted them. To him most women are not even worth looking at, the few he does speak to and acknowledge as more than just servants are more like curiosities. So set in his ways that when he ever got physical with a woman he thought nothing of it. In his logic it was him a god being with a mortal woman so that they could experience the sensation of being with a greater being. There was never any love behind it, yes their was passion, but not love.
The times that he does wear clothing, when he was human it was mostly red. While white would have kept him cooler in the desert heat, it also got dirty fast. Something that he disliked. Being dirty was not enjoyable. A god like him must be clean and proper at all times, his clothing can not have the stains of dirt on it like the mortal rift raft. Cleanliness is next to godlessness and seeing as he believes himself to be a god he keeps himself in almost pristine condition. Scrubbing away at the dirt and sand that gets in his clothing or now his fur as a hollow.
Now Asim holds a special place in his heart for the gold he has worked on. After leaving the thieves and getting the chance to work as a jeweler for an old man he started to enjoy his work. It wasn't about surviving, it became a more enjoyable task, around this time his social skills became much better as he actually spoke with some respect to others, while he still expected and almost demanded respect from others, he gave it back to them. Working with metals actually gave him real long lasting happiness as he was creating something instead of destroying and taking. To him it felt better to create than destroy. Each piece of jewelery he worked on he made sure to add in something special. A small symbol of a scarab, his personal calling card that he had as a thief.

Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance(Optional):[/b]
Asim’s appearance is the same as when he was a human. When one laid their eyes on Asim they felt as if they were in the presence of a king. With his looks and charm he commanded attention and loved it. His body was flawless and he knew it nothing about him ever even hinted at less than perfection. Asim knew this and as such he carried himself as such. Keeping his head high and never lowering it, because that was beneath him. Asim knew that if he looked this good he should flaunt it.
Asim Bakari's body was kissed by the sun leaving it a beautifully tanned. Asim didn't let his naturally tan body go to waste as he kept himself in amazing shape constantly sculpting his body to perfection. The people around him claimed that his body was the work of gods because there was no way a mere mortal could achieve such a magnificent feat as he had. Still having such an amazing body was a curse as well as a blessing. The girls all wanted to feel his muscular arms around them while the fathers and boyfriends of the girls wanted to bury him in the desert.
He made sure that none of his gifts of the gods were wasted on him. His hair was as naturally white as snow and as soft as silk. Unlike most men in his village Asim kept his hair long. So long in fact that from behind some people would mistake him for a woman. It didn't help that it covered most of his back ending right above his rear. Asim always took care of his hair keeping it clean and trying not to get too much sand in it.
Asim's only flaw on his body was on his face a scar given to him right before his death. Before that however his face was a sight to behold. With purple eyes shined as bright as amethyst and smile as pure as an angel. He could charm almost anyone he met and quite often he did. The only mark on his face was made near his death and it is scar going down his right eye. The scar doesn't go over his eye instead it starts at the bottom of his eye and goes down to the bottom of his cheek.

Zanpakutō Release Names(Include both Shikai and Bankai names, and call out phrases) [Insert Shikai Here/Insert Bankai Here]
Overall Ability:
Golden Greed: While [Placeholder] is the shingami the real power of the zanpakuto belongs and is influenced by Asim. Asim’s unending greed has caused the manifestation of his reiatsu to become that of what he truly wants, an bottomless pit of gold. Just like the myth of King Midas Asim’s power is the ability to turn matter into gold. No matter what something is made of it’s atomic structure will be turned into gold when coming in contact with the zanpakuto or any reiatsu based ability when the zanpakuto is released the only exception is gold, as he can’t turn gold into gold.. This transformation to gold stays even after the zanpakuto is sealed, as it’s not simply using reiatsu to temporarily turn something into gold it’s changing the atomic structure permanently.
This conversion to gold depends on [placeholder]’s OS vs the strength of what is being turned into gold. For things that have 0 OS or the environment will instantly be turned into gold without any sort of resistance. For every 50 OS [placeholder] when coming in contact with something that has less OS than [placeholder] 1 foot will be turned into gold upon first contact. For things that have higher or equal OS to [Placeholder] they will have only 1 inch per 100 os. For individuals that are being affected the area affected first will be the skin of a person, the outer layers of a person will be affected first before moving deeper into a person’s body.
Shikai Overall Ability: [Insert Here]
While the overall power is to turn things into gold, the shikai is able to control the gold. In shikai [placeholder] gains the ability to straight up control all gold he has created. This doesn’t work on individuals who still have living parts under the gold that is coating their body. However other than that [placeholder] can control the gold as freely as they want to. From changing it’s form into a more liquid shape to being able to break it down into a gold dust. Shaping simple weapons and even creating more elegant forms. These creations can’t be larger than five feet in size.
While simply being able to manipulate gold is powerful the simple fact is that [placeholder] can at will change the state of mater of the gold he creates. If they wish for it they’re able to turn the gold into a liquid or even a gas. He is able to do this at a rapid rate, as well as doing it to techniques using his gold, however for each state of mater that he goes from soild to liquid to gas the effectiveness of being able to turn other things to gold goes down by 25%. Meaning that the spread of gold goes down by 25%. However by doing so the temperature of the gold rises up dramatically. Allowing for the gold in a liquid state to deal second degree burns upon contact and the gas form can cause 4th degree burns.
Bankai Overall Ability:
While the overall is all about making gold and Shikai is all about controlling the gold created, bankai is about being the true ruler of gold. At this point [placeholder] has unlimited control over any gold he has created. The size of these creations can now reach up to 30 feet, just like before the only limitation is the imagination [placeholder] has. However unlike before where the gold was being directly controlled by [placeholder], [placeholder] can give these creations life.
Zanpakuto Techniques: [Generate below. Include powers and weaknesses.]
Shikai:
Golden swirl:
Golden Clad: [Placeholder] Uses the gold in the area round them to coat their body in a solid gold defensive skin like armor. This gold plating has Durability equal to twice his OS however it loses the ability to affect and turn things into gold. This golden plating when hit will reduce the OS of whatever strikes it by it’s durability , however each time it takes damage it’s durability is reduced by the exact amount of what hit it. [Placeholder] can add more layers each layer being another full solid barrier that has to be broken through.
Drawback: Gold isn’t light and as such each layer after the first that [placeholder] has first makes the minimum strength needed to standup increase by 25 as well as slowing him by 25. Each layer costs 100 reiatsu and lasts for 5 posts.
Kintsugi: Just like the art of Kintsugi that takes things that have been broken and fixes them with gold this ability does exactly the same for [Placeholder] The moment [placeholder] takes damage be it external or internal they’re able to use the ability to create gold to repair and fix what has been damaged.
Drawbacks: First and foremost this doesn’t stop lethal hits nor does it replace things. What this does is any damage is replaced by gold, so if a lung is punctured it can repair cut, or if a limb is burnt it can coat the burn in gold however if a organ or a limb is destroyed then it can’t be fixed as there isn’t something to fix. Base cost is 100 reiatsu for smaller injuries, anything limb size costs 200 and larger costs 500.

History:
The story of the being known as Gilbert Cordero doesn't start with the birth of the human half that makes up half of them. No instead we have to go back even further than that. Back to a time when Pharos ruled over the masses and demanded the utmost respect and loyalty. To a time when the world was less concerned with social media and more worried about the river flooding or upsetting the gods and incuring their wrath. The story we need to understand first to get the full picture is that of Asim Bakari, the inner hollow of Gilbert, because before an unfortunate meeting with Gilbert and a shingami.
Asim was born well over four thousand years ago in ancient Egypt to a concubine of the pharaoh at the time. When the pharaoh discovered that one of his concubines was pregnant with his child she was ordered to be killed, by luck she was able to escape and live, but now she was poor without a way supporting herself or he soon to be born child. She did what she could to survive, begging for money, or even selling her self at night just so she could buy food. Asim was eventually born, and brought into the world with almost nothing to call his own. The first few years of his life was spent outside being carried around by his mother as she tried to gather money to feed the two of them. This would continue till he turned four years old when his mother would send him to go beg for money from strangers while she did the same.
Asim would soon learn to hate this act, hate the fact that the people would look down on him just because he had nothing. When he begged for money they would tell him to scram or even hit him away, every once in a while he would get a coin here or there, but never enough to buy food for both him and his mother. As the years went on he started to despise those people with money that blatantly walked around with it. It was as if they were begging for someone to take it from them, and one day that's what he did. There was a somewhat fat man carrying around a heavy coin purse around his belt, when Asim asked for a single coin for food the man scoffed at him and said he didn't have any money to spare for trash like him. It was the last straw, with all of his strength he snatched the coin purse from the man's belt and ran like a madman with it. Running down crowded streets he eventually lost the man by hiding behind a broken down wall. His heart raced as opened the coin purse and saw all the money he had. Finally there would be enough to be able to buy real food, food for him and his mother. That day would be the start of his life of crime.
The next few years would be interesting for him, while his mother wasn't exactly happy about her son's actions she wasn't going to say no to the money it brought in and Asim himself was rather good at stealing things. Being a young teen he was fast and a quick thinker, by the time he was thirteen he was able to pickpocket people without them knowing, but he wasn't greedy, well not that greedy. He would only take a few coins here and there, not to draw too much attention to his targets so that they wouldn't notice that they had been robbed, this was during the day however, the night time was a different story. During the night he would work with a group of thieves he met one day when he one of them tried to pickpocket him. They were a group of fifteen including him and they targeted the homes of wealthy merchants, stealing as much gold as they could from them before vanishing into the night.
Life was good, he was stealing enough to make sure that him and his mother lived better than most, while at the same time not more than to raise suspicion, or so he thought. One night as he was walking to meet with the group of thieves he saw a few guards walking towards his home, hiding in the shadows of the night he followed them, wondering what they were up to and that's when it happened. His mother was arrested on suspicion of being a thief, Asim saw a fat merchant that had been one of his targets paying the guards to drag her away, there was nothing he could do, he knew that the punishment for being a thief for a man was to lose a hand, but for a woman it was almost always death. That night he ran, ran far away from his home. By chance the group of thieves had been wanting to move on to a new town and they wanted Asim to join in, before he couldn't because of his mother, but now she was good as dead and he was free to go with them without worrying about her.
That night the fifteen of them rode out of the town and into the desert for another village to turn to their target. Asim would soon find out that his friends weren't exactly the people he thought they were. As they rode to find a new village one of them spotted a caravan that wasn't protected. The rest of them drew out blades and charged towards the caravan while he stayed behind confused as what was going on. During the middle of the attack he learned that his group of thieves were really bandits and he was now one of them, however the idea of killing someone made him sick to his stomach, but for now he had to follow them given that they knew the way to a new town while he didn't.
Fifteen years old and he was now a bandit, this wasn't what he wanted at all, but it's the life he had at the moment. By sheer luck when the group was attacking one small group of travelers in the desert a small regiment of the pharaoh's soldiers passed by., this was his chance, they were better equipped than the bandits and much grater in number. Instead of warning the group like he was suppose to, he rode over to them pleading for help saying that his caravan had been attacked and the bandits were still there. He didn't watch what happened, but it didn't take long for the soldiers to make quick work of the now fourteen bandits. Asim had betrayed those he called his friends just so he could avoid the lifestyle they lived. After the battle he asked them where the nearest town was, not wasting any time he took off leaving the goods that the caravan had as payment now that the soldiers thought that it belonged to him.
Now in a new village Asim went back to his thieving ways to support himself, each night he would take to the streets to rob a merchant. That was till he met the goldsmith Ahmes. What drew him to the goldsmith's shop were the pieces of gold jewelry that the man had for sale, each one different and each one more beautiful than the last. For the very first time Asim didn't see the gold as something he could use to survive with, no he saw those pieces as art. Something that should be treasured as a keepsake, not simply a commodity. He wanted to learn, to learn how to make something like that so he pleaded with Ahmes to become his pupil, eventually after weeks of begging and pleading the old man agreed. This changed his life forever, for the first time in his entire life he was doing honest work. Asim and Ahmes eventually grew close as they worked together, he even allowed Asim to live with him instead of on the street.
As the years passed Asim started to become more and more vain as he grew older and more attractive. By his eighteenth birthday Asim was known for two things, being a master goldsmith and being the most vain person in the village. He eventually saw everyone as a lesser being than himself and considered the act of sleeping with women to be a favor to them. Still his looks got him far even if his attitude was spoiled, however that would prove to be his downfall. Without giving it a second thought he ended up sleeping with the daughter of the captain of the guard. When her father found out he was furious and demanded that Asim marry his daughter, naturally Asim refused, going as far as to insult her and her father to their faces. Her father snapped, drawing his sword he stabbed Asim through his left eye killing the boy in the middle of the street, but for the man killing Asim wasn't enough, he decided that his face should be cut up as well. Proceding to drag his sword horizontally over Asim's cheek to cut his flesh. If it wasn't for Ahmes being nearby to stop the captain from further desecrating the body. Later that day Ahmes buried Asim without saying a word to anybody.
Asim, soul however remained in the world of the living. At first he was confused as to what had happened, he tried to reach out and talk with people, but nothing happened. They didn't hear him and they couldn't feel him. As he walked by a mirror he noticed it, he was no longer alive, the mirror didn't reflect his image back. He stood there in horror, he had died, he was killed by that man in cold blood, his rage started to grow and before he knew it his body started to change. In the blink of an eye he found himself in a town most strange filled with other odd monstrosities. He didn't know where he was, but all he knew was that he was tired, digging into the sand he went to sleep.
