-Basic Information-
Name: Hakai Castellan.
Age of Death/Rebirth: 22/24.
Real Age/Age of Appearance: 422/23.
Birthday (Month/Day): April 19th.
Blood Type: AB-
RP Sample (Optional): N/A.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Height/Weight: [5’9ft/170lbs]
Physical Description:
Hakai’s difficult to discern as an Arrancar as he often doesn’t abide by the traditional attires of whites, adorning instead a beautiful onyx tunic which drapes his frame, held together by golden buttons clipping the thing to cling to his chest. To accompany this attire is a pair of black trousers, tightly fitted and shoes, whilst most are akin to eastern style of clothing, Hakai took on a more sophisticated and refined western look, a golden trim also being apparent which is sewn in to make the entire thing stand out far more prominently.
The frame of the individual is a little shorter than most, standing about 5’9ft at full height and when he’s no longer slouching, akin to his compatriots though he’s got a hole directed in his centre mass, around where his heart should be but is lacking entirely. Colourful flesh often depicts him to be more than human looking, whilst others display difference in their flesh he doesn’t seem to be displaying any alteration other than his hues. The skin tone is a slightly tanned colour.
Whilst this is clear about Hakai, his attire also displays a lot of upper chest and neck on occasion if he undoes the top neck piece, attached to the tunic like attire which often engulfs the neck, able to shit from sophisticated to relaxed in a heartbeart. A common item which finally seals this all together is the shoes, upon closer look you’d find there is actually a design on the rim of the soul depicting a serpent like creature.
Under such attire is where one can discern a less than stronger individual, a dexterous frame which shows a lot more prominence in the legs and upper chest than his skinnier arms, deriving from a clear body type which favours speed over raw, brute strength and often showing this in his mannerisms. The man displays a clear lax posture when speaking with other Arrancar, often granting them an inkling of friendliness and warmth, smile adorning his lips but his cold, piercing vermillion hues continue to follow those which surround him. Another key factor about the posture is the consistency in the way he walks, it betrays the air of maliciousness which lies underneath Hakai’s demeanour, carrying himself with utter pride, even when slouching there is a way to his stride which makes even slouching seem condescending.
Hakai’s voice is prideful, laced with a soft calm attitude which displays no hesitation or doubt with each word that leaves his lips and he doesn’t want ever grant an inkling to another that he’s having to actually consider his retort, a constant aura of knowing being presented whilst the condescending nature of this presence is consistent toward both peers and enemies alike.
Yet when it comes to actual enemies, Hakai’s voice takes a shift into a harsher more disgusted attitude, with a philosophical attribute always lacing its way into the bout or engagement with relative irritation to most, often probing them for mental weaknesses or enjoying deciphering the enemy with deductions. To the untrained eye it’s an eerie prospect that he never raises his voice, the moments which pain does reach his body and mind the Arrancar reveals a sly, enjoyed grin and masochistic pleasure with actually feeling.
Most aren’t aware of this but Hakai is actually incredibly warm to the touch, borderline like a radiator at times but on occasion if one is able to discern it, he’ll shift into a cold, wet like touch. An unknown reason is behind this but it has something to do with his emotional state.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personality-
Dislikes:
Sweat: Hakai’s hatred for sweat is clear in all actions, actively avoiding entirely hot rooms or even slightly heated activities due to his core body temperature being so high, an issue which has presented itself on several occasions but his style of clothing is breezy enough to compensate during fights. The Arrancar despises anything that’ll make him sweaty unless it’s absolutely required of him to act on it. The sticky nature of it makes him feel constricted or restrained.
Loud noises: Detestable in every sense of the term, there isn’t a need to become a louder cockroach than most are so don’t do it, if someone is to make a point? Earn it instead of roaring about to satisfy the fragile ego of most. Not only does Hakai detest the loudest of noises but during any activity he’ll embrace the soft moments of silence to allow a peaceful solace.
Impulse: Why? Because to it put it simply, impulsive individuals shall always die due to it, an inevitable outcome for all individuals who allow emotions to dictate their next path when everything should be carefully, cautiously plotted, planned and directed with a cool head. The issue with impulsive individuals is that they’re often found to be on the winning side temporarily, yet due to the constant gamble they always end up losing it all.
Quincy: They’re the opposite of his species, a genocidal mess of imbeciles who believe themselves to somehow be the judges of what’s good and bad, a bold statement which has to be rectified…For the countless souls they’ve allowed to simply vanish, or judged his kin to be sent to the void, he -will- exact a vengeance to a degree never seen before.
Restraints: This is due to his innate nature, Hakai despises the feeling of being restrained by anything from actual physical constrictions to mental restrictions, his favoured type of lifestyle is to get a job done however he deems fit…The idea he has to be restricted at all is aggravating.
Narrow minds: A despicable trait which those who do have are mentally inefficient for rulership, an individual who is incapable of seeing both sides will never truly be capable of advancement or ascension, all species have a purpose and everyone can be a pawn, diplomacy, warfare, life itself needs to be approached with an open mind.
Ego without reason: Over inflated sense of self importance is the swiftest method of dying by Hakai’s hands, those who believe themselves pivotal to the overall advancement, which isn’t the case at all, those who will blow bravado without any action or evidence to back it up.
Likes:
Chaotic noises: Hakai’s utter adoration for chaotic like weather/noises is beyond normal, the infatuation he’s obtained by simply sitting under the raw elemental ferocity caused by the world around him has come to become of a minor obsession, utterly indulging in all five senses when it comes to it.
Rain: The rain relaxes him, Hakai’s thoughts are often chaotic in nature and as such he’s seen to always be embracing the relaxing pitter patter of droplets, it grants him a serenity which is often lacking in his life and on occasion secretly craves to obtain on a more permanent basis. The feeling of it dripping down his flesh is one of few sensations which can utterly subdue hostility.
Women: Well you didn’t expect anything else did you? Hakai’s not afraid to still indulge in the odd flirtation here and there when it comes to women, afterall his species along with many spiritual entities live an exceptionally long time so why get rid of one of the few delights which make them actually feel? Well him atleast.
Unity: Hakai’s philosophy is that the Arrancar are fractured by a false imbecile who sits on a chair, a proclamation of king yet does nothing with his power, allowing the Espada and species as a whole to squabble among one another like children. The species to him requires unity, much like the storm, where three major elements all combine to make an unstoppable tide of destruction, so much they finally unite.
Socialisation: Hakai is a social butterfly, enjoying prolonged conversation with other individuals, showing a gregarious like nature as a whole, capable of adapting and engaging with those of his species and on occasion outside of his species on a regular basis.
Philosophy: This is a simple desire of his, one upon which he actively takes time out of each day to embrace himself in, a philosophical individual as a whole who’d thoroughly enjoy picking apart the ideologies of all factions if he could but each person has a unique, hidden belief which must be brought to the surface in order for them to see themselves at the peak of their abilities.
Ambition: Contentment is unacceptable, one must strive to achieve everything and once done, must strive ahead of themselves in order to reach the limits and heights which none dare even consider. That is the only way an Arrancar can break through the shackles their species suffers from.
Submission: Hypocritically Hakai also has a fundamental enjoyment of the submission of others, there is something fulfilling about another creature admitting their helpless nature and as he believes he’s the future for all Arrancar, it’s a good feeling to be acknowledged as above.
Flaws:.
Aloof: Probably the biggest flaw with Hakai is his lack of actual taking most individuals seriously, this isn’t due to his innate and subconscious arrogance but merely because of the calm before the storm. The issue with this factor is that during his sealed state, he doesn’t seem to take fighting an individual entirely to heart and is prone to being overpowered or entirely annihilated of he isn’t careful.
Arrogant: Arrogance for Hakai isn’t your usual bravado but one which is subtle like a dagger sliding into the ribcage of patience, the Arrancar has an innate knack for attempting to enforce his dominance through verbal bantering instead of displaying any physicality’s. Most of his peers don’t seem to be the talking nor educated type so it doesn’t help but boost his ego.
Stubborn: Hakai’s mind is set on a certain state of ideals, this also includes when he’s done planning a situation or something and he -will- see it through even if it seems suicidal or idiotic, most of the time this is due to his arrogance aswell. Unfortunately this has gotten him in some less than precarious situations before.
Heartless: Despite the smile on his facial features and a genuine interest in other Arrancar, once you’ve lived up such a usefulness or displayed a reason for him to no longer provide attention to them, he can be utterly heartless in a subtle manner. The utter coldness he often displays when it comes to comrades who’ve either failed or slighted him can be disturbing.
Habits:
Reading: Simple yet enjoyable, Hakai enjoys reading but it’s very much a specific set of books about the soul cycle as a whole and nothing much outside of that, an inquisitive and sharp mind which apparently seems to be deciphering something or attempting to atleast.
Socialising: Hakai actually thoroughly enjoys socialisation, this is due to this innate desire to learn more about other species not just for their flaws but their abilities as a whole, not only that but he actually does enjoy the idea of companionship.
Research: Probably his most indulged habit, Hakai can often be seen researching into the cycle of souls alongside other properties, specifically about Shinigami. The utter devotion to his research Is actually interesting to say the least, completely taking entire battles just for the sake of the research.
Violin: Self explanatory, Hakai enjoys the sound of the violin and does play it rather well. The soothing sound of it can often be heard throughout the area, often doing such hand in hand with researching or on occasion shall prop up a book to play whilst reading.
Rhythmic tapping: There is a consistent tapping that Hakai does when he’s contemplating something seriously, a series of three taps from both middle fingers on a surface or piece of clothing, it assists his overbearing and constantly thinking mind.
Fears:
Death: This is an odd one but the reason Hakai genuinely fears dying is because it isn’t a possible factor for him to even consider for his future, an action taken by most is a fearless battle to strive for their goals or die trying but Hakai is more inclined to avoid death as much as possible, there is also an innate fear of losing his existence to the unknowing beyond.
Stagnation: This is his ultimate fear, the incapability to strive ahead and stagnating. It’s such an existential fear that it doesn’t usually occur as of this moment but it’s always laced into each motion, there is no such thing as limit and the idea of being unable to move ahead after reaching each threshold is utterly horrifying to him.
Loneliness: One of the lesser fears of Hakai is the lack of companionship, this doesn’t have to be an intimate thing at all but simply the ability to have that one person he’s capable of relying on if things get tough. The reason loneliness is such a prevalent fear is due to the core nature of being the Storm, it’s about unity among other elements and if he’s a single cog then he’s utterly alone…Regardless of his achievements.
Goals:
Ascension: The ascension project is the epitome of Hakai’s entire existence, to forge and undergo a process of evolution which may bring forth a new era for his species. The process itself is still only theoretical and requires much time In game to even begin a practical sense, but the goal itself is to become a reverse Vizard almost, obtaining a Shikai/Bankai whilst retaining his Arrancar traits. The species is capable of breaking down this barrier at least as far as he is concerned, they are.
Cero Espada: Whilst his primary goal is to ascend, his more likely and still difficult goal is to become the Cero espada, a title which signifies his unrivalled power among the Arrancar and is a certified title of being beyond his peers, this is the epitome of existence but also provides proof that he is the top dog.
Become King of Las Noches: A -very- ambitious goal, a finalisation if you will which will no doubt result in his destruction but is to become the King of Las Noches and unify the species under one cause, supremacy for all Arrancar kind. The species itself is barely a threat, due to infighting and lack of actual co-operation, he seeks to change this and eventually the entirety of Las Noches.
Become -the- threat: This is a simple goal, he wants to be known as utterly horrifying to the Soul Society/Quincy. The Arrancar craves the recognition of being the most dangerous of his kind and to be whispered among all that he’s no simple creature but a being of great power.
Discovery: Hakai desires to discover the individual who protected and saved his life during his Vasto Lordes life, he has no leads nor does he have any idea where to start but someone assured the survival of a Vasto Lordes, why? Only time shall tell..
Alignment: Neutral Evil.
Aspect of Death: Storm.
Overall Personality:
Hakai’s not your traditional Arrancar, often displaying arrogance and more volatile traits in a much more subtle manner much like enforcing dominance through speech or verbal engagements with others. The individual doesn’t seem too care much for the constant domination matches between others, believing it’s best to wait for a better time to reveal his true self, so combat wise he’s very much a reserved person, patience is another thing he has in abundance and is genuinely capable of holding out for long periods of time without displaying any form of irritation.
Inquisitive is another major trait you could decipher from this sophisticated, refined creature, speaking with a eloquent tone whilst prying both enemies and allies alike about their histories, desires, hobbies, a gregarious person whom has a deep understanding of the psychology of those that surround him. The odd thing about this social enforcement is that Hakai doesn’t seem to lie either, much more alluring those around him with half truths, exploiting the loop holes and gripping them in an intoxicating euphoria of trust and companionship.
Whilst all that is the truth, Hakai is anything but a nice individual, innately he’s a ruthless individual who’ll do anything for the goals which he strives to achieve, even if it means committing some horrific actions to further the ends as the justification behind it is usually tied into his research which he’s spent most of his arrancar life up to this moment simply doing theory behind. One key factor about this attitude is that he’s borderline delusional with the ideologies of ascension, most would consider him overall weak, especially around other arrancar due to the reserved nature but once a situation occurs where he deems it appropriate for engagement then it twists into something entirely different.
Simply put, Hakai’s initial personality is the personification of a calm prior to a storm, a passive individual which would much prefer avoid certain conflicting situations if it means he’s able to continue in the shadows but that’s not inclined to remain like that for much longer.
To his enemies, Hakai’s a very condescending individual yet nothing less than friendly, even offering them to get off the hook if it’s a chance encounter on the premise that their existence is a means to an end but will pry into their lives, mindset and urges them to show him their Zanpaktou. The reason for this is because Hakai’s studies into ascension and personalities as a whole has lead him to believe that a Zanpaktou’s form will give him everything he requires to understand the person wielding it, a weaponised version of their inner cores. A clear cut difference to this attitude is with Quincies..
Why Quincy? The Quincy aren’t nor ever will adhere to his grand plan, to Quincy’s he’s very hostile and more inclined to engage the battle himself in hopes to eradicate the filth off the face of the verse.
Friends? He doesn’t have any yet but Hakai’s loyalty can be obtained through meeting many requirements but once you’ve achieved it, he’ll do anything to assure you’re also happy and protected. The unity aspect of him, pushes him to find a few select individuals that’ll be worth keeping about and divulging his future too, to allow his own muddled thoughts to be kept under lock and key.
Hakai lacks any real doubts about himself in the long run, often acting with sheer pride and confidence with each swift moment but that all happens to alter into a more primordial force of nature upon Ressureccion.
The alteration between Resureccion and Sealed state is such a drastic change, Hakai’s calm nature is entirely thrown out the window into a primordial force of nature, a creature of utter chaos and destruction which will bring the oncoming storm to all and any in his path. An odd aspect of this is he barely speaks, a simple, quiet force of nature that’ll do everything in its power to not only erase the existence of the opponent but the surrounding area, to leave a mark and scar it.
Negotiation is difficult, nothing less than closest companions could actually sway this alteration of Hakai to even reconsider the attacks being done but it’s incredibly difficult and he’s prone to attack allies if they’re not showing utter submission in the eyes of the storm.
This bi-polar like personality is the sole reason why Hakai’s studies occur during the sealed state and the release form is how he’ll submit all to his will..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style:
Hakai’s fighting style is entirely basic in principle depending on which state he’s currently in. The sealed state of the Arrancar is very much a tester, it’ll taste the waters so to speak and exploit his calm mind to target key factors about his opponent whilst playing entirely on the defensive, regardless of the aggression coming at him. Another factor is engaging in conversation with the opponent to see if they’re bound to reveal any information about themselves for later usage, if the fighting is pre-meditated though then Hakai’s nature is more about strategically forcing the opponent into a box.
The box or corner so to speak is very difficult for him to achieve in the sealed status, due to the difference in power alone but this also adds to being a major benefit when it comes to those weaker than him, it grants him a gauge of strength that the opponent may wield or atleast garner some knowledge about the overall aesthetic of the opponent as a whole. Despite this alteration of style, a defensive nature is still presented even as he’s being aggressive but won’t take the fight entirely to heart, most bouts of surprise are often for him about studying the opponent, obtaining knowledge and going from that as a footpath that said it doesn’t mean he’s entirely incapable of aggression, infact that often breaks into truth following his unrelease.
Hakai’s serious nature comes into play when one of three things are met: The individual in question is a Quincy, a rancid creature which he’ll play to draw out and counter assault as many times as possible, hoping to incapacitate and eradicate the opponent with ruthless aggression when an opportunity is presented. The second is if they’ve simply become boring, upon which case Hakai’s method of fighting is often grant them an opportunity to depart without further conflict or face his actual capabilities. Third and most likely final is if the fight was a pre-meditated issue, upon which he won’t dilly dally and seek to obliterate the target as efficiently as possible.
The Arrancar is best paired with somebody else if it comes to him remaining in a sealed state, a clam strategist with a reckless warrior may be the best combination but alternatively he’s also suited to those of a chaotic nature if they join his ressureccions desire for utter collateral and chaos.
Unsealed, Hakai’s form and combat style is broken down and any **key** knowledge that’s provided during the strategy stage is kept whilst other useless information like names, likes and dislikes ect are thrown out the window as the primordial force embodies the core concept of a storm: Eradication. Hakai’s skillset at this point is poised to entirely blow apart the enemy alongside anything around with ruthless aggression and no mercy, a single being with a single thought.
This is difficult for those allies who desire a more refined approach, but this doesn’t mean Hakai is incapable of strategy but it simply shifts from a mission of research to an exterminator wanting to clear the cockroach out, an issue occurs is that he under no circumstances holds back whilst in this state of mind and so will always aim to kill. The combination of lightning attacks, tertiary elements along with the defensive technique overall makes him a glass cannon that if you’re not careful will wipe you from the face of the verse.
Zanpakutou Appearances:
Hakai’s zanpaktou is a beautiful piece of weaponry to say the least, a longsword for starters which is completely different to your traditional arsenal of samurai or katana. The longsword’s blade is a thin yet dense onyx alloy which shifts into a tone of grey as you get down to the base of it, a double edge which stretched from tip to hilt at about thirty three inches, whilst the pommel itself sits at a comfortable seven inches. A decorated piece to be certain as the base of the weapon has an overlaying metal with several almost Nordic like runes which are engraved into it.
The hilt is pearl white and due to the seven inch size fits comfortably in the palm of either left or right hand, still being able to be wielded with both. A key feature about it also is that there is two cylinder like pieces which have a turquoise colouration to it, the first being just before the blade shifts into hilt and the second just being a little above the pommel. Upon the golden overlay which holds the small, yet intricate Nordic runic engravings is a gemstone, turquoise in nature yet if one is to actually examine it, a constant shifting mist is inside which resembles a calm storm, a mixture of sea, air which resembles the calming nature of it. A little above the initial gemstone is three block spots, one at the centre and one to each of their respective sides, completely black.
The blade actually shifts though during time, a chaotic yet oddly complimentary Zanpaktou which alters the form as the storm begins to rise aggressively, as the second shade demonstrates the tip of the onyx blade swiftly brightening into a harsh white like colour whilst the base of the blasé takes onto a more turquoise blue colouration. The entire blade also begins to emit a gentle humming sound but nothing more other than the three previously black spots have now been illuminated with the same colouration akin to the blade.
Third stage is where it gets rather glamorous as the edges and the base of the blade is almost entirely enveloped in a dimly lit white, it isn’t blinding or distracting by any means but obtains properties akin to lightning, sparks dancing and shifting constantly across the base of it but it doesn’t do anything and mainly for show. The stages of the Zanpaktou occur when in sealed release only, as time progresses through a battle the blade begins to display a building storm, after four posts of being unsheathed it’ll be at the final state.
{Zanpaktou Reference}
Primera Etapa’s form actually shifts his longsword into a rather beautiful pair of sickle like weapons, causing each one to sizzle with lightning. (Purely aesthetic)
{Primera Etapa }
Zanapkutou Release Names(Include both stage names, and call out phrases)
Primera Etapa: “Cleanse the filth, Hamon!”
Segunda Etapa: TBA.
Overall Ability:
Hakai’s overall ability is the manipulation and embodiment of the storm, a roaring and chaotic force of nature that’s entire purpose is to eradicate and cleanse everything in the surrounding area before calming down once again, a clear look on his abilities. The Arrancar’s abilities are primarily lightning based, a heavy emphasis on that element is prominent in all of his techniques but the unique factor is the other aspect of a storm which most don’t expect is unity.
Unity in a storm is both contradictory and entirely required for the oncoming destruction, an example of this is that in order for there to be a storm, several elements must be in unison with one another, lightning, air and water. The three elements are all prominent in his methods and attacks, as they’re all rather aggressive in nature and further the attack pattern of him.
The way this is presented is that the surrounding area is utilised to his advantage when fighting, but will most of the time act very chaotic and cause a lot of collateral. The method upon which Hakai’s abilities truly display and demonstrate the uniformity of elements is when he’s activating a technique, the effect itself will often have another element with it to add additional effects or allow a different state of being for the power itself.
Primera Etapa Overall Ability:
Hakai’s release is something entirely different from his sealed state, as not only does the appearance shift into a more monstrous yet primordial entity but his abilities take full precedence. The release state of the Arrancar is the utter embodiment of the storm, as upon calling the phrase high speed winds will pick up along with a chaotic, scrambling of lightning arcing which is entirely harmless but encases him in a ball for a second before revealing himself. Hakai isn’t himself in this form, it’s almost like a separate entity and as such, is more referred to as Hamon.
The overall ability of the Primera Etapa is first a flavourful effect, upon which an actual storm begins to brew around a two mile radius, clouds begin to darken and if there aren’t any, some shall appear out of unnatural means, and as time progresses (Four posts) there will be a roaring thunderstorm which shall encompass this area, which includes entirely torrential rain which peppers the ground, chaotic lightning and thunder that strikes out and cracks the otherwise silence.
Hakai’s abilities take a far more drastic, attack based turn as each effect is accompanied by a tertiary elemental effect in order to further enhance or otherwise alter the state of which the attack is done. These tertiary effects are -only- water and wind, to make matters a little more unique although is that the storm itself is the provider of the major requirements, dragging and coalescing the surrounding yet heavy rain drops which fall around or grasping the very winds themselves, forcing them to obey his will as he unleashes each assault with utter aggression.
Segunda Etapa Overall Ability (Optional): N/A.
Zanpakuto Techniques:
Technique Name: (Sabaki no Ikazuchi lit. Thunder of Judgment).
Technique Description and Effects:
Hakai’s right and left hand light up with riatsu as he forges and commands the very environmental energies around them, generating artificial lightning which begins to sizzle and spark out from each palm which is capable of causing severe damage. The lightning itself is a heated white, whilst the outlining displays a gentle turquoise hue.
Hakai is capable of altering the formation of this lightning to almost perfect and precise manners but it’s most destructive in nature, the Arrancar’s concentration comes from either altering it into smaller projectiles with high speeds or coalescing it into a larger, ball like energy which is fired at high speeds, akin to being slightly faster then a Cero. The impact of these projectiles is akin to a bit more than a cero, allowing a huge amount of damage upon reaching a target before exploding out for about 15ft radius, at a speed of 700.
The smaller projectiles act like more of bala’s upon creation, as they’re a little faster compared to their counter parts and engage at a high pace, he’s capable of charging these smaller shard like bolts for a single post, making it eight bolts shot whilst adding more reiatsu to fire more. The bolts fire at a speed of 900.
OS is utilized for damage.
Technique cost: 200 reiatsu, + 25 for the rapid bolts, + 75 for doubling the bolt output.
Tertiary effect 1 water: The moisture in the surrounding area is pumped full of reiatsu, forcefully being merged into the attack as a thin membrane of liquid before it’s fired alongside it, upon impact the water splashes out aggressively and doubled the splash radius of the balls of lightning to 30ft or if bolts are utilised, the liquid strings together and increases accuracy.
Extra cost: 50 reiatsu.
Tertiary effect 2 air: A higher wind rate is forced into the lightning and around, pulsating and acting aggressively before firing off. The balls of lightning are combined with the wind to create thunder, the blast itself is considered as 50% OS higher.
Example: If Hakai’s OS is 1000, then for the purposes of the blast it’s treated as 1500.
Extra cost: 50 reiatsu.
Technique DrawbacksThe tertiary effects have a cool down of two posts, any form of impact will explode the attacks in question. The main drawback alongside harnessing the sheer power of lightning is the counter effect on the individuals body, Hakai’s palms will show significant burns after utilising this twice in a row, furthermore if it’s pushed to three in a row the left -and- right arm are singed with third degree burns accompanied by paralysis for three posts.
For each tertiary effect that’s added increases the damage done to the arms, if both are activated then in the second post he’s incapable of moving the left arm as harsh spasms run throughout the form for a single post.
Made By: Hakai.
Reserved?: Yes.
Technique Name: Kamani Yoroi (Lightning armor).
Technique Description and Effects:
Hakai’s entire form begins to radiate with a faint electrical charge, lightning coming to dance across the body with a dangerously fast consistently as the embodiment of the storm comes to protect himself, one of few this ability is the only major defensive technique which is in his arsenal. The body is overlaid with a thin sheet of reiatsu which forged a constant current of lightning which passively zaps and licks at anything which comes into physical contact with the body.
The mechanical usage of this is that firstly it’s only capable of activating its effect on physical contact and nothing else, although it can dance across weapons I.E Zanpaktou which are connected to the user in question. Once the contact has been made, Hakai can burst out his reiatsu to allow the current across and strike out at his opponent, causing 1st degree burns although this is privy to enhancement with tertiary effects.
Whilst the damage isn’t the main prospect of this attack as it does very little in that regard, the following current will attempt to paralyse the opponent as it attacks the nerves and constricts the muscles or other functioning components of the creature. The stun will only last one post. It’s fairly potent but individuals with a 50% OS may shrug off the effect, alongside those with a Pain Tolerance of 3. The ability may only hit -one- individual, after such there is a post worth of recharge before it’s capable of being used again as it recharges.
Reiatsu cost: 150.
Tertiary effect one (Water): The water effect of Kamani Yori is rather simple in nature, whilst the moisture and raindrops in the air are taken to further increase the current, it’s main ability is to increase the conductive capabilities of it, increasing the burn damage to 3rd degree burns.
Reiatsu cost: 50.
Tertiary effect two (Air): Air effect is far more defensive in nature as the high speed is utilised in a protective manner, if air is combined with the effects of Kamani then the surrounding 15ft area is encased in highly concentrated wind pressure, which can be manipulated to either bring an enemy unknowingly closer or further away once the initial effect takes place. The wind speed is comparison to a harsh burst akin to a category 3 storm.
Reiatsu cost: 50.
Technique DrawbacksThe major dangers of actually utilising this ability is the effect of coursing such a volatile energies through your body, much like most of his abilities it’ll cause some physical issues, mainly if this ability is utilised and is defended against then the effect will cause 2nd degree burns on Hakai. The other major factor of using this ability is that it has to be direct contact with the opponent to utilise.
Made By:Hakai.
Reserved? (Yes/No):Yes.
------
Technique Name: Arashi.
Technique Description and Effects:
Hakai’s reiatsu flared up and seeps into the surrounding area as the already oncoming storm is suddenly turned against the opponent, a dangerous and unpredictable ability as the presence of the creature before the enemy is increasingly seen to be collaterally inclined. This ability is considered to be the most AoE based in his arsenal as the moisture in the air begins to thicken harshly until an array of storm clouds begin to form in the surrounding area.
The storm clouds are entirely black with indications of lightning beginning to light up the inner of the area, these clouds encompass Hakai and spread out at an increasing rate before capping at 50 ft. Once the opponent is engulfed or enters the area they’d find their senses being attacked by the sound of roaring thunder, although those who have Focused Eye 3, Analysing 3 or an overall sensory stat 200 then they’re capable of seeing through the clouds and may fight as normal. The usage of this is that Hakai is able to see through the storm and is unaffected by the sounds or other tertiary effects. Any individual outside of the clouds needs a sensory stat of 150 to sense the individual in the cloud. The cloud then dissipates and ends at the 5th post.
Upon activation: 15ft radius/diameter.
2 posts in: 20 ft radius/diameter.
3 posts in: 35 ft radius and diameter.
4 posts in: 50ft radius and diameter.
Reiatsu cost: 200 + 25 for the final cloud.
Tertiary effect 1 (Water): The moisture in the clouds becomes heavier and thicker, activating an effect onto the storm clouds themselves as rain begins to fall but not in a traditional sense, as the droplets themselves seem to alternate rapidly and randomly within the clouds themselves causing the individuals in the cloud to become increasingly soaked with water. If an opponent is subjected to this effect for two or more posts then they are subjected to a higher vulnerability to Lightning based damage for the duration they’re in the cloud.
Reiatsu cost: 75.
Tertiary effect 2(Air): A more lockdown based effect upon which the air inside the cloud radius becomes dangerously violent, akin to a category 2 storm as it’d begin to hammer, rip apart or otherwise take chunks out of low material based items, pick up humanoids with relative ease. The damage it does however to an individual within the cloud range is restrict their movements heavily, if the opponent has an OS difference of 40% they may resist the debuff effect of having 15% of their speed reduced.
Reiatsu cost: 75.
Technique Drawbacks: The ability itself has a harsh cost in reiatsu but the major drawback of this is once Hakai deactivates it, there is no capability of utilising it again for 5 posts. Alongside this heavy drawback, is that the initial generation of the storm will take a posts worth of charge up before releasing.

Technique Name: Sandākyanon. (Thunder Cannon)
Technique Description and Effects: Hakai’s reiatsu begins to condense rapidly in either palm which begins to rapidly glow with a blazing white light whilst turquoise coloured bolts shoot out in an aggressive manner, upon which he’d push out his hand before unleashing a harsh and destructive beam of energy. This energy is direct and moves at a speed of 700, being far faster than most natural capabilities, the coursing lightning on impact will cause 2nd degree burns on both organic and non organic creatures.
This energy is far more destructive in nature, causing earth to being completed obliterated alongside trees and other fickle things with a force akin to a bullet train behind it. The ability is simple in nature as it strikes, depending on the body part it hits it’ll call numbness unless you’ve got a 40% OS difference or Pain Tolerance 2. If this strikes at the chest of the opponent it’ll be increased to paralysis for a single post, unless you meet the prior requirements or a Pain Tolerance of 3.
Reiatsu cost: 200.
Tertiary effect 1 (Water): This effect alters the technique entirely, as a sphere of dense water forges around in a five foot radius like a dome before the lightning is surged into it, the causing effect reduces the strength of the overall technique by reducing the OS by 15% but shoots it out in a 360 degree manner, shooting out as an AoE in thirty feet at a speed of 500, enacting the paralysis if the chest is hit or numbness on the limb.
Reiatsu cost: 75
Tertiary effect 2 (Air): The high speed air begins to circulate around the energised beam of energy much like a cyclone, this effect inherently increases in size by 5ft radius around the thickness of the main beam itself. This contributes to the mechanic of increasing the speed of the attack to 800, the air around the beam is akin to a category 2 hurricane.
Reiatsu cost: 75
Technique Drawbacks The attack itself is very straightforward and requires some prior knowledge of an attack, whilst utilising this attack he’s prone to attack as the current requires to be maintained and if it’s disrupted it’ll be ceased. The both of Hakai’s palms will suffer intense numbness and paralysis if this is used in a consecutive manner.

{Hierro’s }
Technique Name: [Hierro (Harden)]
Class: [3]
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]
Technique Element: [Metal]
Technique Description and Effects:
Hierro is an Arrancar technique in which the user's reiatsu condenses, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block a Zanpakuto. This also allows them to fight some of the sword-wielding Shinigami barehanded. This technique guards against reiatsu based and melee techniques. If the user has 150+ reiatsu strength superiority to the enemy, then the user is totally undamaged by all attacks from the enemy. This means an Arrancar is essentially invincible based on Hierro for some time. At 75-149 reiatsu strength advantage, damage is very minor, but present. A large slash could be a tiny cut. At less than 75 advantage, there is resistance to damage from the Hierro. Small resistance.
How to use technique:
Always active. Doesn't use reiatsu to keep active, uses reiatsu strength for strength. Permanently active as soon as it is learned.
Technique Drawbacks
Must deactivate this to use High Speed Regeneration. Reiatsu is lost upon deactivation, reiatsu equivalent to the technique class, which is 3. 400 is lost upon deactivation. 400 is then also lost upon reactivation in the same thread. Final stage release bypasses Hierro automatically by default. (Bankai, Fullbring Stage 2, etc.) Vizard Bankai does NOT bypass Hierro. Vizards, even if they have not yet become full Vizards, must use their mask to bypass Hierro. Those facing Hierro can gradually adjust to it per combat hit against the enemy, though within a certain post limit. Let's say Person A has Hierro, and is fighting Person B. If Person B hits Person A twice with attacks, then after 8 posts of their combat have elapsed, then Person A's Hierro counts at 80% of its strength (100 Reiatsu strength would be 80). After 12 posts of combat, if Person A has been hit at least four total times, then Person B can now treat Hierro as if it is simply 60% strength (100 Reiatsu Strength would be 60). After 16 posts of combat, if at least six hits have been landed, Hierro stops working against Person B.

{Bala’s/Cero’s}
Technique Name: [Bala] (Bullet)
Class: [6] [Cannot be learned until class 6]
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects:
A straightforward and simple technique that hardens the user's Reiatsu and releases it like a swift blast of spiritual energy. While the technique is not nearly as powerful as a Cero, its speed is 20 times faster and allows for it to be fired in quick repetition. The orb of reiatsu fired varies in size and strength, some Arrancar creating one the size of a basketball with the rough power of a massive punch, and others creating Bala with enough power to blast holes in adversaries. Some Espada can create Bala as large and powerful as an average Arrancar's Cero.
How to use technique:
The user must first aim and then fire the technique, as is custom of any projectile type.
Technique Drawbacks
50 Reiatsu cost.
Technique Name: [Cero (Zero)]
Class: [4]
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]
Technique Element: None
Technique Description and Effects:
Available only to Hollows or Arrancar of at least Gillian status, Cero is the signature technique of higher level Hollow races. This concentrates their reiatsu into a condensed blast of light which fires out, usually from the hands or similar body part, though many can use it from their chests, feet, mouths, or other appendages. Color is usually red, but many Arrancar have learned how to alter the color of their fired Cero. When charging it appears to be an orb, but when fired is a large, very wide beam. It has a distinct high-pitched sound when charging, and a very low growl when fired. Anyone can hear either, and thus discerning a Cero is very easy. In power, weaker Cero explode on contact with targets, but some Cero have enough power to keep going after hitting a target, and simply consume and disintegrate it.
How to use technique:
Aim body part at target and charge the technique, then fire. In speed, takes a few seconds total.
Technique Drawbacks
Reiatsu cost of 200, despite being class 4.
Technique Name: [Cero Lightning]
Class: [3]
Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): [Arrancar]
Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): [Arrancar]
Technique Element: [Lightning]
Technique Description and Effects: [Cero Lightning is one of the most advanced, forms of a Cero. While it does not provide the stunning raw power of the higher class Cero, it is nonetheless a formidable weapon and also can be adapted to multiple purposes in battle, or out of battle.
When used, instead of the blast of energy most Cero produce, Cero Lightning creates crackling bolts of lightning to expel from the user in the direction they have aimed. While not as fast as a Bala, this technique requires no charge time, unlike normal Cero, and is three times as fast as a normal Cero. Like Shoji Cero, this technique can be extended for longer durations, and a user can employ a single use of this technique for up to two posts (including the post they used it). When unleashing this Cero at full power it is capable of burning targets with half or less RS than the user to ash instantly. In fact, even those that have equal reiatsu strength to the user can be burnt to ash if they are exposed to a full power blast for two consecutive posts. Even if a target is too strong to outright destroy with this power, it causes serious burns and blisters across the target’s form, and creates immense pain and electric shocks to cascade across their body, requiring a Pain Tolerance of 2 (or equivalent) to withstand, else the target will crumple in a heap, incapacitated by the pain and electrocution.
There is one other incredibly useful trait to this Cero. The user possesses complete and utter control over its power and form. The user can unleash concentrated, killing bursts of this power to annihilate the opponent, or they can create massive arcs of lightning to ensure that the opponent cannot dodge. The user is freely able to adjust the power of this technique on a 1:1 ratio with size. That is to say, if the user halves the power of the technique, they will double the space the technique covers, and so on and so forth. Naturally, because the user is lessening the power, it makes this technique easier to resist, but compensates by making it much harder to avoid. The amount of space this attack covers at full power is comparable to that of the user’s bala.]
How to use technique (How is it activated?): [Although this technique is a Cero move, it is used much more like a Bala.]
Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)
[If one possesses a reiatsu strength that is 50% greater than the user, then they can resist the effects of the pain, getting away with minimal injuries, or even, if their reiatsu strength is double the user’s, being completely unharmed. Individuals with a Pain Tolerance of 2 can ignore the agonizing pain, though it will still be present, and continue to fight, only suffering the weakness of their injuries. Individuals with a Pain Tolerance of 3 (or greater) can outright push through the Cero, and be relatively unimpeded by it, if they are strong enough to survive it, minus the injuries they would receive from it. It has the standard cost of a Class 3 technique. Using this technique for more than a post fatigues the user greatly. The fatigue is intense enough that the user cannot maintain a single use of Cero Lightning for more than two posts.
The use of this technique causes slight burns to form on the bodypart using the power, which will steadily worsen with repeated use. These burns cannot be healed by High Speed Regeneration, or other immediate healing techniques and must either heal on their own, or be treated post-battle. Repeated use will cause these burns to worsen, and if a single limb uses them enough (ie. Over ten times in a single thread), the limb will burn away into ash.

Technique Name: [Gran Rey Cero (Grand King's Zero)]
Class: [2]
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]
Technique Element: Lightning
Technique Description and Effects:
An Espada-exclusive Cero of such great might that its use is forbidden while under the dome of Las Noches. It requires the user's blood to be used as a sacrifice to activate, but when activated is charged at about the same speed as a regular Cero. It is always blue in color, and appears to have the shape of a razor with several prongs. When fired, it zig zags at the enemy instead of firing in a straight line. While charging speed is the same as Cero, firing speed is three times that of Cero, and the actual destruction potential is twice the user's reiatsu strength.
Furthermore, the explosive power is so high that not even several Cero put together can rival it. This technique also releases a large mass of lightning and electricity not only upon firing, but on impact as well. The ferocity of the Gran Rey Cero is nearly unrivaled.
How to use technique:
Fire like a regular Cero, but only after also getting blood on the firing hand from its user. This is usable only by Espada. The secret to its use and why only Espada can use it are both unknown at this present time.
Technique Drawbacks
400 reiatsu cost and blood sacrifice. Can only be fired once per post, up to four times a day.

Technique Name: [Garganta (Cave)] (CINEMATIC TECHNIQUE)
Class: [4]
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects:
A technique used by Hollows and Arrancar to move between the human world and Hueco Mundo, though Arrancar under the service of Las Noches have demonstrated the ability to use it to enter Soul Society as well. This opens a black tear in the air which resembles the gaping maw of a shark, and the inside of which is simply a void of shimmering black. Those inside create pathways made from their reishi, on which to walk to the exit. Some, who have mastered the Garganta, are able to create a reishi pathway which moves them rather than them having to walk along it, treating the Garganta like a sort of elevator to where they are going. This is a slow opening technique, and one that cannot be used in battle.
How to use technique:
The tear simply opens upon the user's will. This technique uses no reiatsu, but it cannot be used if the user is down to 0 reiatsu.

History:
{Human Era. }
Lord Ryan Beckett was born on a stormy night of 1725, a peak in the British Empire with plenty of opportunities to be presented to a child born of wealth and nobility. The child itself wasn’t anything special but displayed an early ability to advance, being able to walk at a younger age than most and further more speak, this lead to him being the pride and joy of the family despite being the only son. The happiness of his father, a Commodore at the time could only be described as a fathers joy, quickly taking to teaching him about the sea, indoctrinating him as most of his upbringing were about the utter unstoppable force that the British Empire had become.
Ryan had grown attached to the sea due to this, a rather bold statement but he adored it as the coastal estate of the family had been a highlight of his life, at an early age Ryan had signed up to the royal navy and served as a bright boy on the deck of the ship. During this time he served directly underneath his father, hoping to gain an insight into tactics and the ability to outdo an opponent in chaotic environments, thus bringing upon the analytical mind which forged the childs desire to seek deeper into history, believing the key to progress to be rectifying the mistakes of the past.
Upon reaching the age of eighteen, Ryan had become a notable individual in the Navy and had found love back in London to a woman of wealth, a shy girl all the same but one which brought him joy and utter adoration for the life he’d been leading, a woman by the name of Caitlyn, fair blonde locks draped across her shoulders whilst the poofy dress which blew about freely was betrayed by slim corset which stuck and only ever so slightly crushed her ribcage as all did back in those days.
The pair were quickly wedded but Ryan’s life began to take an unfortunate turn for the worst, his mother died under mysterious circumstances, more akin to a wild animal attack but in the heart of London? Such wasn’t possible nor did he inherently believe it to be the truth, a reason behind is his Mother had always brought him up on stories of the afterlife and monsters which prowl in the dark, yet he didn’t dwindle on it. The string of disasters only began to occur, his father died at sea shortly after but not through some valiant act against the enemy but hanging himself from his own mast due to despair…
Ryan’s mental health quickly began deteriorating at a rapid rate, an orderly life was now becoming chaotic as he’d been forced to manage everything his father left behind plus his own livelihood..A ray of happiness did strike through the thickening darkness which was cascading over his life, Caitlyn was pregnant..
Nine months was all he had to wait to feel the exact same joy his own father had, a moment of utter bliss realising that he’d be able to teach the son everything he’d known sadly..Life had other plans..Caitlyn was attacked on her way back to the estate, causing her to lose the baby and became incredibly ill….These events caused Ryan to snap mentally, breaking into a more volatile individual who believed something was out to get him, paranoia about a greater being or grander scheme playing a stupid game with his own life.
Ryan at the age of twenty two had completely broken, due to his wealth at the time he wasn’t officially diagnosed with anything but was suffering from bi-polar disorder alongside a plethora of anxiety ridden issues, alongside the idea he was being hunted by something constantly. Ryan’s major dispute came from Caitlyn when he was called back to sea to helm the recently rebuilt S.S Becket, a ship named after his late father, begging him not to leave but he didn’t listen, the sea was the only thing he could accurately predict alongside any safety he felt…
How wrong he was…
Lord Beckett finally found himself at the helm of a large ship, during a brutal battle just off the coast of spain, an extract of the following occurrences…
“Bring her around, absolute bearing!” *The scuttling of men upon the deck were akin to rats, departing into singular units before coming back into smaller groups, picking up on the orders of Lord Beckett who pridefully stood at the helm of the ship, each passing moment was a moment the barely stable ship ahead was departing.* “Run her down!” *A man barely capable of catching his breath approached, left foot almost catching one of the steps as he’d state in a raspy tone.* “L..Lord Beckett..W..We ca-“ *Ryan’s leather boot struck the face of the man harshly, as a squelch alongside a pain filled groan escaped, a volatile and disgusted voice erupting.* “I won’t tolerate excuses!”
*Ryan’s target was right ahead, this was his opportunity to prove to everyone back at London he wasn’t going to end up like his father and that control was entirely upon the conviction of the man, sails broadening out and flapping about harshly as the strong wind propelled the ship forward, inching closer yet it wasn’t getting any closer.* “Gibson, Jackson, come here!” *The pair swiftly came up, dipping their heads as Ryan smirked.* “Unhook two of the deck cannons, make a hole if need be and fire.” *The pair looked at one another skeptically but followed orders, shifting themselves to accomplish the task at hand.*
*There was a singular moment of bliss for him…Yet something tickled at the nape of his neck, an ill omen almost..But nothing should halt his advance..*
Several Hours later
*Crackling thunder erupted from the bleak skies above, shattering confidence and men alike as the sturdy deck of the S.S Beckett thrashed about as if a helpless ragdoll to the crushing chaos of each wave which smashed into the hull. Men were screaming as they’d usher others in, whilst some were unfortunate enough to be simply swept like flies into the endless deep below due an unfortunate shake, balance and life itself was on the line as Ryan desperately clinged to the helm of the ship, shouting harshly.* “Keep..G…Going men, we shan’t be trodden beneath the feet of the waves, hail Britannia!”
*The unlikelyhood became entirely likely as a bolt of harsh, volatile lightning came down in an instant and struck the shaft of the mast, causing it to crackle and splinter before it’d eerily come down, pieces of shrapnel flinging out as the method of movement became his own downfall, crashing into the secondary sails and tearing them apart. At this point the northern side of the ship had entirely succumbed to devastation, men shrieking at their legs were caught underfoot whilst the hull was drowning in the salted liquids of the surrounding ocean.*
*Ryan’s spirit broke, a soft cry of rage escaping his lips as he’d strike his chest violently, only a single word departing from his pain filled voice.* “Why?!” *It’s all he could think, why would he of all individuals be placed under such a high pedestal for it all to be torn away…No…He’d die his own way..*
*Ryan’s soaked knees came to be dragged upward as nothing but utter rage began to fill his thoughts, if he wasn’t going to live then he’d vow from this moment onward he’d bring down the wrath of sheer chaos into the afterlife, an oath he must never keep…Whilst he’d continue to move, sluggishly through the torrential rain, pieces of shrapnel being idly moved to the side by his boot, only the colouration of oak and staining of crimson now washing by him, all other noise deafened by the storm surrounding him. A moment of bliss passed, discovering the objective of his advancement…The storage room full of black powder..*
*No hesitation…No thoughts…Only on his beloved Caitlyn who’d been correct not to depart all this time…The following noises were a smashing of glass, the seconds worth of hissing and an eruption of epic proportions, blowing the ship and everyone on it..*

Such wasn’t possible nor did he inherently believe it to be the truth, a reason behind is his Mother had always brought him up on stories of the afterlife and monsters which prowl in the dark, yet he didn’t dwindle on it. The string of disasters only began to occur, his father died at sea shortly after but not through some valiant act against the enemy but hanging himself from his own mast due to despair…
Ryan’s mental health quickly began deteriorating at a rapid rate, an orderly life was now becoming chaotic as he’d been forced to manage everything his father left behind plus his own livelihood..A ray of happiness did strike through the thickening darkness which was cascading over his life, Caitlyn was pregnant..
Nine months was all he had to wait to feel the exact same joy his own father had, a moment of utter bliss realising that he’d be able to teach the son everything he’d known sadly..Life had other plans..Caitlyn was attacked on her way back to the estate, causing her to lose the baby and became incredibly ill….These events caused Ryan to snap mentally, breaking into a more volatile individual who believed something was out to get him, paranoia about a greater being or grander scheme playing a stupid game with his own life.
Ryan at the age of twenty two had completely broken, due to his wealth at the time he wasn’t officially diagnosed with anything but was suffering from bi-polar disorder alongside a plethora of anxiety ridden issues, alongside the idea he was being hunted by something constantly. Ryan’s major dispute came from Caitlyn when he was called back to sea to helm the recently rebuilt S.S Becket, a ship named after his late father, begging him not to leave but he didn’t listen, the sea was the only thing he could accurately predict alongside any safety he felt…
How wrong he was…
Lord Beckett finally found himself at the helm of a large ship, during a brutal battle just off the coast of spain, an extract of the following occurrences…
“Bring her around, absolute bearing!” *The scuttling of men upon the deck were akin to rats, departing into singular units before coming back into smaller groups, picking up on the orders of Lord Beckett who pridefully stood at the helm of the ship, each passing moment was a moment the barely stable ship ahead was departing.* “Run her down!” *A man barely capable of catching his breath approached, left foot almost catching one of the steps as he’d state in a raspy tone.* “L..Lord Beckett..W..We ca-“ *Ryan’s leather boot struck the face of the man harshly, as a squelch alongside a pain filled groan escaped, a volatile and disgusted voice erupting.* “I won’t tolerate excuses!”
*Ryan’s target was right ahead, this was his opportunity to prove to everyone back at London he wasn’t going to end up like his father and that control was entirely upon the conviction of the man, sails broadening out and flapping about harshly as the strong wind propelled the ship forward, inching closer yet it wasn’t getting any closer.* “Gibson, Jackson, come here!” *The pair swiftly came up, dipping their heads as Ryan smirked.* “Unhook two of the deck cannons, make a hole if need be and fire.” *The pair looked at one another skeptically but followed orders, shifting themselves to accomplish the task at hand.*
*There was a singular moment of bliss for him…Yet something tickled at the nape of his neck, an ill omen almost..But nothing should halt his advance..*
Several Hours later
*Crackling thunder erupted from the bleak skies above, shattering confidence and men alike as the sturdy deck of the S.S Beckett thrashed about as if a helpless ragdoll to the crushing chaos of each wave which smashed into the hull. Men were screaming as they’d usher others in, whilst some were unfortunate enough to be simply swept like flies into the endless deep below due an unfortunate shake, balance and life itself was on the line as Ryan desperately clinged to the helm of the ship, shouting harshly.* “Keep..G…Going men, we shan’t be trodden beneath the feet of the waves, hail Britannia!”
*The unlikelyhood became entirely likely as a bolt of harsh, volatile lightning came down in an instant and struck the shaft of the mast, causing it to crackle and splinter before it’d eerily come down, pieces of shrapnel flinging out as the method of movement became his own downfall, crashing into the secondary sails and tearing them apart. At this point the northern side of the ship had entirely succumbed to devastation, men shrieking at their legs were caught underfoot whilst the hull was drowning in the salted liquids of the surrounding ocean.*
*Ryan’s spirit broke, a soft cry of rage escaping his lips as he’d strike his chest violently, only a single word departing from his pain filled voice.* “Why?!” *It’s all he could think, why would he of all individuals be placed under such a high pedestal for it all to be torn away…No…He’d die his own way..*
*Ryan’s soaked knees came to be dragged upward as nothing but utter rage began to fill his thoughts, if he wasn’t going to live then he’d vow from this moment onward he’d bring down the wrath of sheer chaos into the afterlife, an oath he must never keep…Whilst he’d continue to move, sluggishly through the torrential rain, pieces of shrapnel being idly moved to the side by his boot, only the colouration of oak and staining of crimson now washing by him, all other noise deafened by the storm surrounding him. A moment of bliss passed, discovering the objective of his advancement…The storage room full of black powder..*
*No hesitation…No thoughts…Only on his beloved Caitlyn who’d been correct not to depart all this time…The following noises were a smashing of glass, the seconds worth of hissing and an eruption of epic proportions, blowing the ship and everyone on it..*
{Hollow Era. }
Hakai’s hollowfication process wasn’t a difficult one at all, it didn’t require coercing or otherwise forcing of it as the man inherently became obsessed with finding power beyond his own capabilities, once one realised that he did have an afterlife, as a pulse he didn’t see much of a point wasting the opportunity. The negative aura though did bring an unfortunate circumstance of other Hollows being attracted to him, realisation becoming apparent that these were the Monsters his mother had spoken about and potentially killed by.
By the time the chain eroded he’d became a creature of horrifying proportion, whilst a normal Hollow for all intents and purposes, Hakai had forgotten his name, history and most of the prior emotions, being corrupted by the utter insatiable need to advance and satiate this consistent hunger. The creature which was forged was spindly, barely had any form of muscle and had talons which could retract on command, each one coming to a whopping six inches long if he so desired it, a lipless Cheshire grin filled with rows of teeth whilst the pearl white mask only enforced this nature.
A constant dribble was apparent, saliva forming and leaking out as he was incapable of licking it up or otherwise halting this unfortunate habit, the stature alone though was the stuff of nightmares as each movement was enhanced by the bare, onyx black hue on the flesh, each limb long like a spiders but humanoid in nature. It was incredibly agile, feasting on the poor in London a lot of the time and utilising ambush tactics for some time, the preferred appetite for this creature was to prey on those who exuded an aura of utter confidence and seemed stable, toying with them by committing horrific acts of violence and sadism on their loved ones before finally coming in for the kill when they were ripe for the taking.
Hakai’s own desire for chaos truly came to fruition at a much later date, several years of being a simple Hollow who kept under the radar went out the window upon finding his prior lover, a woman who’d moved on and remarried, envy and strife stuck into the heart of Hakai and he spent no less than two years, tormenting, scaring and frightening the family of three through various means.
The first to succumb to death was the youngest son, age 14 who suffered horrific terrors and took his own life, or so it’s presumed, in reality Hakai had slit the young childs throat and devoured the soul a few moments after, leaving the family to presume otherwise. A second life was taken by the second child, a girl of 18 and soon to be wed, it was actually the wedding day upon which a so called massacre occurred, staining and drenching the day in crimson leaving the only two survivors to be Cait and Sedrick, the pair were convicted for the murder upon which Hakai tormented them both in prison.
Sedrick later was entirely consumed whilst Cait’s body was left intact, only thing missing in her body was the heart and Hakai consumed that…
Most of his years after these events were incredibly uneventful, as most Hollows do he spend a century/two simply prowling, consuming and evolving as most do, into Gillian and then Adjucha, but even those forms didn’t do him any good.
The Adjucha stage of his existence was entirely based in Hueco Mundo, trudging the sands with little interest in the existence of others but only to satiate his own hunger, but it wasn’t until he’d intaken a few more souls did he finally adapt and evolve into a beast beyond reasoning…Vasto Lordes.

{Vasto Lordes Era. }
The Vasto Lordes form was something entirely different, a hooded creature without any features with beautifully stunning wings which protruded from each shoulder, yet both weren’t physical at all but shifted chaotically, forged from pure lightning as they’d zap against the ground ruthlessly. Each wing also charged up to forge a short storm clouds to encase it, causing small storms to occur or atleast the aesthetic of it being caused in each wing. A very silent being to say the least, Hakai often didn’t seem the requirement for words but that was a matter of catching him on a certain day, you see the Bi-polar and fractured personality had entirely shifted into two distinctive natures, the first being a calm creature whose passively albeit aimlessly wondering about the dunes with no purpose..
The other side was a chaotic creature, storms would constantly forge in almost a miles worth of radius as a huge warning sign for creatures, aggressive and utterly destructive in nature, devouring, obliterating and spewing chaos with each step of the plated legs. Hakai’s fear and fascination with evolution grew with this, during his calm state of mind he constantly sought a way to end this arbitrary nature of his but couldn’t at the end of the day, there wasn’t a way out nor was he aware that the mask was concealed around the back of the hood.
What felt like eternity passed but it was on a day which he felt entirely passive did he come across the one man he’d forge himself to despise throughout his life, a Quincy whose name has been lost now came to hunt this Vasto Lordes, upon which a large and harsh battle took place…The reason this part of the history is so small is because he can’t recall exactly what occurred, he remembers large flashing lights of destructive energy and an incoming shining bolt aimed directly for his own head…But..Nothing after that…Utter silence…It was in that silence did he awaken to find not only he’d taken the form of an Arrancar but was safe from harm…Someone had gone out there way to save him or was there something more to it? He’d have to find out…
