Ａｐｐｅａｒａｎｃｅ • 様子

Arulilo is a relatively tall arrancar with an odd demeanor that shows in his slim stature. He has a slight sway to his walk that appears almost lackadaisical—as if he is completely in another world and not coherent with his surroundings. It is, however, dangerous to let his casual appearance fool you. Arulilio is a true monster deep down inside, and even though his appearance has never really accurately reflected that on the outside, he is always ready to attack with precision like that of a high-tier class Espada.

His skin is extremely pale from lack of sunlight. Its thin, cold texture blends in with his black and white outfit. He claims to have sensitive eyes and therefore prefers not to be in brightly lit areas. This also seems to be the reason his skin is so pale in the first place. Another speculation could be that it is due to Hueco Mundo not having any actual sunlight.

Arulilo's frosty, cold white hair lays straight down his face and is usually unkempt but somehow still appears to have a chaotic order to it. While Arulilo does present himself in a clean manner, he often does not feel the need to keep it in any specific style and most often leaves it completely alone. His hair is one of the most notable features about him because the color of it is not very often seen among other Arrancars in Hueco Mundo.

His eyes are like crystal pools of quartz that swim in ill-content and mesmerizing hatred. So deep and filled with despair that you could dive right in and have the worst time of your existence. He is seen most often staring off into the sky and down at the floor, seemingly never paying attention, giving his eyes an empty and distant look.

His Espada uniform has a few specific modifications that make it different from that of a typical uniform. The top half is a closed jacket with a high collar that covers his mouth and face, making it very hard to make out any kind of facial expressions he might be making. His bottom half is a typical Arrancar garb that freely drapes down to his ankles, giving him great mobility and freedom. Underneath the jacket and garb are plain white undergarments that hug his body and keep him from getting wet.

Arulilo has a single black eye mask that covers his hollow in his right eye. The covered part of this mask has small holes, allowing him some form of vision out of the covered eye. He has advised anyone inquiring about it to "remove it and find out". which usually results in high tension and unsettling silence. Not much is known to others as to why he chooses this type of attire to cover his hollow hole or why he even does it in the first place. The black mask has straps that extend across his face and connect at the back of his head. It's adorned with tarnished steel studs, giving it an alternative, steam-punk look.

His sleeves are traditional black and white and extend all the way to his wrist to avoid concealing the two rings he wears on his left and right hands. These rings are used as part of his power and a lot about them is unknown to those who have not seen them in use. Like his sleeves, his shoes are also typical black pointed boots that have white accents etched around them to match his uniform.

Arulilo has a particularly interesting aura color that can change depending on whether he is in his released state or not. His aura is an iridescent, soft white when he has not released his sword, while a glowing crimson color expresses itself when his resurrection is activated. Arulilo claims that the reason for this is unknown but that when he first released his sword it seemed to suddenly change, and therefore, every time after. He does not seem to really mind that it does this and has never sought out any answers as to why.

Arulilo keeps his Zanpakuto on his back vertically while the handle is nestled behind the high collar. The handle of his sword is black in color and is wrapped in thick black material. The sword is encased in a black oak sheath that seems to have been carved from a dead tree in Hueco Mundo. Arulilo never seems to be unarmed and is always in possession of his Zanpakuto.

His espada numeral is located on his chin and is most often never seen from behind the high collar on his jacket. Since Arulilo prefers to generally hide most of his face from view, most of his facial features are not very noticeable and hard to make out. This is not the case during combat or serious situations where his eyesight is crucial.

Hollows who are weaker tend to be very uneasy around Arulilo due to his initial appearance. The air around them becomes still while the smell of death fills the air. Arulilo's cold eyes stare directly at the victim with menace and a longing to consume, just as primal hollows are meant to do. You may not be able to see his bright, disturbing smile behind the collar—but it's surely present.

Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ • 人格 

At his core, Arulilo is a very cruel and sadistic Arrancar.
He consistently undermines and degrades those who he considers to be physically and emotionally weak compared to him. He will openly display aggression and disinterest in those who get on his nerves. He possesses little patience and will often ignore an idea or even an entire conversation if it does not interest him. Arulilo considers small talk to be a waste of time and a "human thing," only focusing on factual and truthful information.

Like most arrancars, Arulilo expresses a general disinterest in life, seeing his body as "merely a vessel for the soul" and that "once death occurs, his soul will move on to another body." Because his power works mainly with bombs, Arulilo has learned and formulated his own opinion of what happens when a terrible spirit such as hollow die. Arulilo has no problem ranting and explaining these opinions to other beings, even going as far as getting aggressive and violent during these explanations.

Arulilo can also be quite the trickster, given that the victim is gullible enough. He tends to bully others by playing tricks on them. These "tricks" are often dangerous and can be pretty harmful if the victim does not stay alert and falls for them. If the victim does fall for his tricks and they receive pain or discomfort, Arulilo will laugh and clap while the target is in distress. To date, this situation is seen as one of the only times Arulilo shows any positive emotions.

When he is alone in his quarters, Arulilo likes to study the reishi composition of other hollows and Arrancars. He often goes out deep into Hueco Mundo to capture weak souls and torture them for scientific experiments and data collection, often referring to these subjects as "trash to be utilized". One of the cruelest things about Arulilo is his inconsideration and morality towards other living beings. He has been known to remove every internal organ of a creature just to see how it works when he puts them back together. No creature to date has ever survived this procedure.

He believes humans are filthy, full of laziness, and have poor muscle quality-- He once stated that though he locates and kills hollows for consumption, they are still far superior when compared to humans in every aspect. Arulilo has never been to the world of the living, and it is assumed he has seen a human being in person given his massively negative attitude towards them. Arulilo has expressed his desire to dissect a human being that is gifted in reiatsu levels so he could find out why some humans get reiatsu and some do not.

He does not work well with others. Arulilo often grows bored and annoyed by the others' presence and will usually leave to complete his assignments alone. He does, however, favor working together with those who are strong and can keep up during combative situations. Arulilo will not team up or work with any other race aside from Hollows and is generally violent towards other beings when given the chance.

Arulilo's evolution to an Arrancar level had a huge impact on the individuality and realization of his inner self. He has since been able to manifest not only great power but a strong desire to consume and grow stronger with each individual being he consumes.

 Flaws • 欠陥 

Disadvantaged Vision

For as long as Arulilo could remember, he always had sensitive eyes. Being pure white in color, the light in buildings and the open sky can sometimes be harsh for him. He usually tends to stick to dark places so his eyes can adjust correctly. Arulilo's eye mask usually helps with keeping the light away from his face. This could be viewed as another reason he wears his mask all the time. It is unknown whether or not he removes his mask in his quarters considering the lack of light. This can only be speculation as Arulilo does not allow many people inside of his castle within Los Noches

Impulsive

There is something about thinking before you act. Arulilo does not possess this ability. He always tends to jump before thinking in his attempt to find dominance and power. He's made the mistake as an early hollow to jump and attack prey that is much stronger than him. This usually resulted in him nearly dying several times when he was an Adjuchas. Over time, Arulilo has shown slight improvement in this area, but it's still generally something that he has a very difficult time controlling. Once he became an arrancar and gained much more clarity and a humane type of aspect and look to himself, He vowed to learn more self-control.

Nihilistic

One thing many individuals that cross Arulilo notice, is his inability to see the positive outcome of situations. Most of the time Arulilo is spewing out some sad poem about how hollows will "eventually overtake the entire universe and nobody will be able to stop them". Individuals around him also notice that he becomes very distant when ranting; often times never looking the person he is talking to directly. Arulilo becomes intoxicated and full of pride when these types of conversations arise. He is willing to stop an entire battle just to rant on about the hypocritical soul reapers can be about killing other races.

Impatient

This flaw gets Arulilo in alot of trouble. Often times it's very difficult for Arulilo to control his thought process before he acts recklessly. Before he removed his mask, He would attack and devour anything he could get his teeth into. This changed slightly when he removed his mask and gained slight clarity. It still, however, is a daily issue the 4th Espada deals with. Whether it be lunging in to attack as soon as someone says something he dosent like, interrupting others if the conversation gets boring or just plain spewing off for no reason, Arulilo deals with both impatience and impulsiveness.

Self-Sabatoge

It's pretty common knowlage that Arulilo generally hates his entire existence along with every single other race that he has encountered. This flaw manifests itself through his inability to express joy or any happy emotion. Arulilo at times, especially during battle, will make moves that don't make any sense or could put him in danger given an opponent counter correctly. Others who have seen him fight other hollows and do this, recount not understanding exactly why. It's almost as if he is asking to die. Arulilo has not confirmed or denied his reasoning and often claims its "how he fights". This flaw does not express itself in combat if the opponent is someone he is actively trying to beat.

Conceited

An interesting aspect of Arulilo is his ability to often become conceited while demeaning others. Once he becomes intoxicated with power, Arulilo claims to be the strongest arrancar in the universe (even though this is not true). He often times will speak highly of himself to others all while putting them down in the process. If Arulilo's clothing is damaged in combat, he will immediately become upset and wish to change as to not look "dirty" while fighting. This flaw is very present in his day-to-day personality and conversations with other people.

Untrustworthy

Arulilo has only ever thought about himself and therefore it would only be natural that he is completely Untrustworthy in both teamwork and individual situations. His loyalty lies only with the Espada meaning he would lay down this flaw to assist them. There is nobody else that Arulilo has ever acted this way towards. It could be his general disinterest in sociability or people that cause him to not care if he is being untrustworthy. He really only tends to think about himself and that is what shows the most.

Habits •習慣 

Morbid Research

Arulilo is a scientist as well as an arrancar. For years, he has studied the ins and outs of multiple different creatures. His Espada castle contains an entire facility where he can do these experiments. Nobody has ever stepped foot inside these laboratories, and their existence remains a complete mystery. Arulilo claims that to date, he's completed reishi pattern research on most of the existing races. He's published this in a book that he is currently writing. Arulilo plans to release this book once he has completed his research.

Training

it's in his essence to train. Arulilo is a true believer in "if you don't use it, you lose it." Most days, Arulilo will train for hours on different techniques in hopes of honing his abilities. He is also a high-ranking Arrancar and is expected to act as such. Behind his espada castle, Arulilo has set up a training field where he is able to practice his aim with his bone bow. The high walls of the location make it hard for others to be able to catch a small glimpse of what is going on inside of his training grounds.

Getting Angry

It would make sense that Arulilo has a habit of getting angry. His aspect of death is intoxication, and it's only when he kills and gets volatile that he's able to fully indulge in this. Anger is an emotion that Arulilo's entire body empowers and is the basis for his base strength. Arulilo tends to get angry in most day-to-day situations, especially when the situation requires patience. Arulilo, when not angry, does have a calm side, but this is rarely ever seen.

Causing Explosions

Arulilo's entire ability is surrounded by exploding things. It's a core habit that, everywhere he goes, an explosion will follow. He's developed the ability to a point and is currently happy with the force and destruction caused by the explosions he can make. Habit ties into training. Arulilo's core training program usually consists of working on the blast radius and control of his ability. Some people that have come across him nicknamed him "the landmine" due to this habit.

Relaxing

It's a tough existence for Arulilo. He's constantly hungry and angry. So, when he's not on a mission and all seems well, Arulilo will retreat to his quarters and relax. Since nobody is allowed inside of the castle, it's unknown what kinds of things he does to relax. Arulilo prefers to be alone most of the time, and that can make relaxing all the more effective for recovery.

Fears • 恐怖

Being Killed - "Who Dosent?!"

It's ironic that Arulilo would want to avoid death so much as to be fearful of it. The reasoning could be due to his desire for intoxicating power and to become strong. He couldn't do that if he was dead. His attitude would show otherwise given he was actually in front of the opponent, but deep down inside he is afraid that he would no longer be able to bask in the intoxication of another being's dead body. To Arulilo the only absolute thing in the world is power and in order to keep progressing and getting stronger, you have to stay alive. 

Regression - "I'd never want to go back" 

With his power complex, Arulilo fears that one day in the distant future he could revert or stall out in his evolution. He constantly has a need to consume and grow; to become more and more powerful. Those who remain weak will die on the wrong side of history to be consumed by the chains that bind them. Arulilo sees Regression as beginning to become weak and unable to defend yourself. He believes that if you don't fight and get strong, you will lose your strength over time. Arulilo trains daily to combat this. 

The World of the Living - "I don't want to get dirty, okay?!" 

Arulilo has an extreme and set-in-his-ways aversion to the mortal world. He views the entire place as dirty and unpleasant. He has been to the world of the living only once and completely disliked it. So much so that he developed a fear of going there. Arulilo has extreme arrogance when comparing humans to himself. Often times, he will make rude remarks and comments about the human race and the world they live in. To Date, Arulilo has killed one human soul and vows to mow down any human he comes in to contact with. 

Water -- "I really don't prefer getting wet. It's really... really uncomfortable"

For some odd reason, Arulilo cannot stand the water. The way it surrounds you and envelops you in its arms. There could have been something in his past that effects his rather negative view of the water but not much is known about why he is. Arulilo would rather not fight someone with a water-based ability as they could possibly trigger his fear. He manages to stay away from large amounts of water most of the time and will be very cautious when he is around it. This is a low-ranking fear meaning most people would never know this about him unless he has specifically told them about this irrational fear. 

Unfamiliarity -- "I prefer most things to remain in order. Exactly as they are" 

Living in Hueco Mundo for so many years, Arulilo has become accustomed to living in the world of the dead. He will often only accept missions that are localized to hueco Mundo and Los noches. It could be that his soul was so used to being nomadic and now that it has finally manifested in a strong body, it may be that his soul would like to remain where it belongs. Arulilo has never been the nomadic type. It's most likely also due to the knowledge that he can always find food in Hueco Mundo. 

Bright Places -- "the brightness of the light hurts my eyes, So what?"

Having pale white eyes may look cool, but it can cause sensitivity in brightly lit areas. Arulilo has been used to this his entire existence; and prefers to stay in places that are dark. This fear also appears to be another reason he also likes to remain in Hueco Mundo the majority of the time. Arulilo's Espada tower is very dark; only having candles lit in the stairways for when he is traversing through the castle. Arulilo's skin is evidence that he does not like the sun or light very much at all. 

Joyous Emotions -- "Pointless" 

It's not so much that having positive emotions is fearful to him, it's just that Arulilo has never really understood them. For his entire existence, he has never felt these kinds of emotions unless he is hurting or destroying other beings. He's always associated destruction and pain as things that give him pleasure; but he does not understand what really joy is like. Satisfaction for him only comes when he is knee deep in a freshly killed creature. Arulilo promotes discontent and despair; wishing for nothing around him to filled with joy. It's rumored that he augmented his reiatsu to make others feel uncomfortable for this reason. 

Goals • 目標

Stronger than before! ...

It's Arulilo's natural desire to become stronger than he was the day before. There is not enough time in the day for him to constantly want to grow his strength through hatred and disdain. Anyone else around him can often get the notion that he is very serious about his training, and most do not interfere with him.

From a very early time in his development, Arulilo's ability to break through the mold and grow into the arrancar he is today one of the strongest things about him. His Reiatsu shines bright with intent. His eyes were like those of a lake; he wanted to dive farther in and invest in the powers he was given. Being the 4th espada means very much to him, and he shows that through his strength.

 

One goal that he has is to grow higher in the ranks of the Espada. Notoriety is power, the ability to walk into an area and have everyone immediately notice your presence. He seems to only find validity in others, and this is shown in his idea to eventually gain enough power to rival those of the top 3 Espada.

 

Arulilo wishes to eventually travel far into Hueco Mundo and find interesting hollows and research subjects. He is very interested in the collecting and processing of different species, and his goal is to collect an entire catalog full of data that he can directly use in battle. His ability to read reishi patterns is a major strength in aiding him to do this. One day, he would share this with the entire Espada. Knowledge is power, and he is set out to collect the unknown.

 

As morbid as it seems, a goal of Arulilo's would be to eradicate the soul of society as a whole. He believes that shinigami are foul creatures and should be burned. His general disinterest affects his goal of genocide. Often times, Arulilo will share this goal with other hollows, almost in a joking manner. He is very rude and upfront about his goals and intentions to destroy the soul of society.

• Aspect of Death •
𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Arulilo's aspect of death is Intoxication.

"The rush of being drunk in his own power while trying to consume and feed his endless hunger.

The urge to feel content for only a single moment by devouring those alike would never leave him,

and just as Arulilo remembered how to walk and how to blink,

he would also remember the intoxication he felt when his evolution persisted.

When his mask broke and he became a Vasto Lorde Arrancar,

he would begin to feel the effects of the insatiable mountain he would forever remain on"

Hueco Mundo
"A Past Time"

Somewhere in the distance....
(RP insert about: Aspect of Death)

It was just desert, sand, and nothingness for as far as the eye could see...

Arulilo stood silently while staring directly at a small rock village to the north.
The village was nothing to impress in terms of prey. A small hollow dwelled inside occasionally.
This time, however, a bigger hollow groaned from inside the rock walls. Shabby wood, bricks, and sand lay about.

Arulilo didn't think twice as he stared blankly into the dark, rocky caverns.
His mind wandered and he imagined the thousands of ways he could destroy everything he was currently looking at.
He could burn it all to the ground at his feet.
He had the power to do so.
He would feel it coursing through his body to the point where his veins would bulge up.
Arulilo would let it consume him.
Screaming explosions would replay over and over again in his mind like an endless chaotic loop.

He stood back and calmly took a breath before screaming very dramatically in the direction of the village.
His voice was so loud that it picked up slight winds, trees in the distance shook lightly.

Arulilo's face remained completely blank as he screamed out.

I just want you all to know that I appreciate you"

As soon as the words left his wicked mouth,
Arulilo released a bright, white Gran Rey Cero directly at the village,
killing all of the hollows inside its dwellings.
Smoke poured from the rubble.
The groaning ceased.
He would walk slowly toward the village as the fire burned. The feast inebriated him.

He would fall over into the residual reiatsu leaking from the dead hollows.
The fire burned around him as he screamed in laughter.
And only for a minute... He was completely intoxicated.

Ａｂｉｌｉｔｉｅｓ• 鬱ー域

• Zanpakuto Release • (wip)

𝐒𝐮𝐣𝐞𝐭𝐨, 𝐂𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚 
(Subject to, Deer)

(Released form, Primera Etapa)

"Born in forges of his early evolution,
Developed to a point so that his power became effective,
Arulilo learned to use the abilities he was given.

It must have seemed like forever and half to master.

He would work tirelessly with merit to develop his skills.

He hated the world around him and only wanted to become powerful so that anyone he would cross could learn that he will stand.

He believed that nothing in the universe could stop him, and it made him feel drunk with superiority"
Arulilo possesses the unique ability to expand and contract reishi patterns. This ability allows for 2 things to become reality.

Overall: Arulilo's ability works by allowing him to control the specific bonds that make up a cluster (attack) of reishi.

He can use his specialized abilities to directly expand and contract the bonds in things that are constructed from reishi.

It's almost like breathing.

Arulilo can increase or depress the output as if it was expanding and contracting the lungs.

His power is limited in the sense that he is unable to expand reishi beyond his own.

This means if something were to attack him,

he would be unable to contain the blast using "La Toma" because the attack would be stronger than his ability and the reishi clusters would not break apart fast enough.

The most damaging aspect of this ability is the explosion radius and damage output used from "La Dando".

When the arrow is equipped with this ability it can cause explosions that can serious harm someone at close range.

• Primera Etapa Abilities •

Technique Name: • | La Dando (The Giving) | •

Technique Type: General Physical

Usable By: Arulilo Meja

Technique Element: Earth

Technique Cost:
-- 100 Reiatsu for 10ft, 200 Riatsu for 20ft, 300 for 30 feet explosions (Arrows)

-- If the target is pierced by the arrow, the target is unable to use techniques above class 4.
If they choose to use any higher techniques during this ability:
50%+ reiatsu cost for opponent to use abilities above class 4
reiatsu cost for Arulilo = 100 flat cost to negate the targets attack to class 4. 

Description: This is the main offensive ability Arulilo uses.
When utilizing this, he is able to expand the bonds that tie reishi together.
When this is done rapidly, it causes explosions and extreme instability in the impacted reishi.
The larger and more compact the cluster of reishi is, the larger the explosion and instability.
One of the scariest factors of "Dondo" is that it can be focalized and equipped to Arulilo's Bone Bow.
"Dondo" give Arulilo the ability fire arrows made of reishi that can expand on impact and causes explosions and instability of existing reiashi patterns around the site of impact.

 If the arrow fired from Arulilo's bow is equip with "Dondo" and it hits the body of another being,
it will not explode due to the reishi expansion taking place on the target internally instead.
Once under the effects, the target will feel dizzy, disoriented and confused for 2 turns after the arrow is impacts. 
This is because the reitsu in their body is expanding rapidly and they may not be able to expand their own reiashi as effectively for a small period of time (restricts ability use to class 5 until the arrow is removed from the person) This ability will never kill the target due to their own ability to control their reiashi levels once the effect wears off,
but it does have the ability to cause fainting if the target is exposed to the effects for extended amounts of time.

How to Use: Arulilo equips small, medium or large explosion tags to equip to his bone bow. he can shoot these arrows towards the targets.
Once these arrows hit the area around the target, they will cause explosions that can physically damage the target.

Drawbacks: firing a "large arrow" has a 1 post cool down. Confusion and disorientation only happen if the arrow has pierced the target.

Technique Name: •| La Toma (The Taking) |•
Technique Type: General Physical
Usable By: Arrancar/Arulilo Meja/Espada #4
Technique Element: Earth
Technique Cost: 150 reiatsu cost /per 100-point deduction in targets Reiatsu Strength.
(Check is reiatsu Strength VS the opponents spiritual Offensive Stats)
Description: Arulilo’s Release allows him to Expand and contract Reishi. By doing this, he is able to create large explosions by expanding the Reishi and Implosions by contracting it.
Using “La Toma” Arulilo can create, shape and manipulate implosion, a massive compression of matter and energy where a large difference between either internal and external pressure or inward and outward forces causes an object to collapse in on itself or its occupied space. If the object is not destroyed, it will result in a highly dense form.
Though material from the original substance can be violently released from the process (i.e., an explosion), such reactions do not happen with every implosion. This ability cannot be applied to an actual physical body as Arulilo’s control does not extend to the reishi/Reiatsu inside of a targets body but rather the free flowing Reishi from an attack.
Once a target releases a cluster or reishi from their body, Arulilo can minimize the bonds within said cluster thus rendering the attack weaker or completely null. If the cluster or Reishi is stronger than Arulilo’s ability, “La Toma” will aggressively weaken the cluster its best ability under the following formula.

(Arulilo’s Reiatsu Strength VS Target’s Spiritual OS) If Arulilo has 800 Reiatsu Str and the taget has 1200, Arulilo’s base Reiatsu Strength will be deducted from the target and the ability will reduce down to the difference (In this case the target’s ability will now fire at 400 Reiatsu Strength (1200 – 800)) 

If the targets Reiatsu Strength is more than 100 lower in point value than Arulilo’s. “La Toma” weakens the attack by a flat 200-point value no matter what the difference in their 2 values are.
How to Use: Arulilo places an Implosion Tag on the end of his arrow and fires it. The arrow will fly towards the target at a flat value of 800 Speed Stat.
Drawbacks: "La Toma" is very strenous on his Reiatsu Costing 150 points in Reiatsu to reduce the strength of an attack by 100.

Segunda Etapa
𝐂𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚, 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬
(Deer, Threads)

(Released form, Segunda Etapa)

Overall: When Arulilo releases his Segunda Etapa, he becomes capable of using his abilities in an even deadlier fashion. Unlike in his previous release form, "Hilos" gives him the ability to generate explosions by constricting the threads of reishi at any random, focused location within a certain radius. All he needs to do in this form to cause explosions is focus on a single point in his front facing, special view. The golden ring that becomes his head is the “locator”. Example: If Arulilo wants to create an explosion at someone's feet, he will need to focus using his eyes that are located in the center of the golden ring. These explosions can range from mild to large and usually depend on the proximity of the person to Arulilo.

• Secunda Etapa Abilities •

Technique Name: • | La Castigo (The Punishment) | •

Technique Type: General Physical

Usable By: Arulilo Meja

Technique Element: Earth, Fire

Technique Cost: 100 Reiatsu for 10ft, 200 Riatsu for 20ft, 300 for 30 feet explosions. (Sighted)

Description: Arulilo gazes upon an area within proximity of the target. The bonds of reishi in the air will expand rapidly causing explosion within a circular radius of 10/20/30 feet. during posting, Arulilo will need to use a worded incantation prior to explosion and set the distance with the golden ring locator that his head becomes after release. The target is given some time to react of course, and the ability primarily focuses on the target. as this is an explosion occurring within proximity to the target. the target will not know the distance until the actual explosion (attack post).

How to Use: Arulilo's golden ring begins to spin and then once it stops he gazes upon an area and speaks the incantation. 

Drawbacks: Requires small incantation beforehand allowing the target to become aware of an explosion, especially if the target has seen this before. Arulilo is unable to create explosions in places he is not able to see within his view.

Incantation: "Focus on me! La Castigo!" (Distance and appropriate cost set in attack post)

Technique Name: • Pacify Oneself/"Pacificarse" •

Technique Class: 6

Technique Type: General Spiritual

Usable By: Arulilo Meja/Espada #4

Technique Element: Earth

Technique Cost: 50 points per post (only active if Arulilo has his bare hand directly on the target) Increases the cost of all techniques used by the opponent by 100% as long as physical contact is maintained.

Description: Sometime around Arulilo's Adjuchas stage, he found that if he used his bare hand to touch another being that had spirit energy, he could temporarily nullify the expandability control the being had before he made contact. For years after this experience, Arulilo founded "La Toma" because of this discovery. It made Arulilo feel very accomplished and solidified the knowledge of what he was able to do.
"Pacificarse" works by allowing Arulilo's spirit energy to manipulate the expansion control through touch. This technique only works when the bare hard is on the target. If they choose to use an ability when his hand is placed on them, they will be required to spend twice as much reaitsu. 

Drawbacks: Only works if his hand is directly on the target. This ability is only usable at arm's length.

Incantation: N/A - Arulilo concentrates his reiatsu in his hand and before placing it on the target.

Technique Name: • Hide/Esconder •

Technique Class: 6

Technique Type: General Spiritual

Usable By: Arulilo Meja/Espada #4

Technique Element: Earth

Technique Cost: 20 Reiatsu Per Post (lasts 3 posts)

Description: This ability was developed sometime around the time when Arulilo first became an arrancar. "Esconder" gives him the ability to completely hide his spiritual presence for the first 3 turns of a post. This ability can become active immediately after the post begins. "Econder" works by way of "La Toma". Arulilo contracts his spiritual pressure to a compact form, allowing the pressure to temporarily go unnoticed by most.

How to Use: Upon entering a post, "Esconder" will begin working immediately unless stated otherwise.

Drawbacks:  first three posts of a thread only, and 400+ ES can sense as a drawback.

Incantation: N/A.

Technique Name: • Force Blade/Hoja De Fuerza •

Technique Class: 3
Technique Type: General Physical
Usable By: Arrancar/Vasto Lorde/Arulilo Meja
Technique Element: Earth
Technique Cost: 100 Reiatsu Cost to increase (physical stat) strength and speed of an attack by 50 points in value for 1 attack post. 1 post cooldown. Reduces Arulilo's Speed by 25 points for the same turn as the cooldown (turn after used)
Description: Using "La Dando," Arulilo is able to apply his abilities to his  blade or bow. When this happens, opponents who clash with him will feel an extra push behind his swing/shot. This occurs because Arulilo is slightly expanding the reishi around his blade, and when it impacts, it causes a small extra burst. This can be slightly off-putting, and it frequently results in inconsistent power in Arulilo's sword as a result of him using it versus not using it.
How to Use: Arulilo will slide his finger across his blade. A bright like will lightly cover the front of the blade. When a target goes to strike, Arulilo is able to apply this as either a parry or use it to strike first. 
Drawbacks: Reduces speed on cooldown turn by 10.

Fighting Style • 戰

Take one step back...

It could be in the way he stands. His awkward ability to look so relaxed and distant, only to block your attacks instantly without pause. He is strong in his grasp. His hand on his sword, gripping it with force and attitude. You may just have to use both hands to parry his swing, otherwise your head could end up rolling around on the ground.

Arulilo takes a very relaxed and focused approach to fighting. He will most likely not enter the battlefield directly because he uses a bow and arrow. You can usually find him scouting out the area before making any strikes or moves. His eyes scan the battlefield with intent to study. He was quiet and calm before the storm; he was waiting for the right time to make a move with his bone bow.

Before his release, Arulilo will use his sword and battle up close and personal. Once his release takes place, however, you can expect him to back off and attack from afar given that he is a ranged type. His bow and arrow are capable of firing long distances, and Arulilo uses this to his advantage very well. Most opponents won't be able to detect him due to his "hide" ability. This ability allows him to hide his pressure for the first 3 turns of a post.

Arulilo is very quick-paced and hard-hitting when it comes to how he fights with a sword. Being the 4th espada, Arulilo has extreme force behind his swing, and it can catch most people off guard if they are not careful. He moves in very quickly to deliver quick sword swipes mixed in with his Sonido mastery. Using Sonido during his assault, he is able to strike quickly from all angles. Arulilo will switch up the pattern in which he moves to try to confuse the opponent.

When Arulilo releases his sword, he takes on a "deer-like" form and grows two hind legs. This transformation allows him to stampede his way through weaker opponents with just his power. He also becomes much more agile and aware, never letting his guard down. His bow is made of complete bone and is used to fire arrows that can explode on impact. Because of this uniqueness in fighting style, he is not often seen on the front lines.

When he releases his second etapa, Arulilo becomes monstrous in terms of ability. He gains the ability to regenerate at high speed, a tougher Hierro, and a quicker Sonido. He has no problem breaking the front lines in this form as it possesses enough power for him to feel comfortable doing so. Arulilo does not use a sword or bow during his second etapa, but rather his eyes to create explosions at random, focused areas. This can be a very random and bizarre way of fighting that leaves most opponents struggling to read his movements.

Arulilo is able to fight alongside other members of the Espada, but that is about the only group of people he would associate himself with when it comes to sharing a battlefield. When it comes to sharing a battlefield, he is obstinate; he believes he can defeat the opponent by himself, and anyone who gets in his way is a major annoyance. Arulilo is left-handed and fights with his right foot facing forward.

He equips "La Dando" to his arrows in the form of Reishi explosion tags. These tags are formed at his release and require some distance to be used. Arulilo is a wonderful bowman and can accurately hit most targets from varying yards away.

"La Toma" is used as his defensive ability. When this ability presents itself, it means that the opponent is either too strong for him to fight alone or he is growing very tired. Once "Toma" is activated, Arulilo will hide in the shadows and use the ability to dispel and intercept any attacks made from reishi until the opponent runs out of steam. This is a very defensive form of fighting and is only used by Arulilo in emergencies.

There has never been a Holloe that has pushed Arulilo to his limits. He's never experienced what it could possibly be like to almost lose a battle. It's been pondered over and over again what he would do if he was to ever be in a situation where he would have to utilize other fighting techniques. "Lo Inocuo" is his trumph card. When he is being outmatched, he will use this ability to Lower the targets speed while firing off arrows to try to take down his opponent. To date, nobody has seen "Lo Inocuo" in person.

Arulilo's Bone Bow

 

Ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ • 歴史

Birthplace: Romania
Current Residence: Los Noches
Memorable Figures: Mother

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 •

Sometime in the very distant past, lived a small child withpure white hair and crystal eyes to drown in. The single mother must have been shocked to birth such a beautiful boy with striking features, because when she would gaze upon his face, she would see innocence and beauty radiate. Arulilo was born on October 7th in what would now be considered modern-day Romania during terrible unrest in the early civilization. War, famine, and displacement took control of the nation when Arulilo was just an infant. His mother would eventually flee to a nearby, safe European country to raise him.

 

He was always regarded as timid and shy when he was growing up. Kids would make fun of him a lot due to his white hair and eyes being unconventional. Often times they would make his life hell while he attended the early years of his education. Arulilo became reserved and only spoke to those around him that he knew he could trust. His mother would often times attempt to consol him, but it usually resulted to no avail. Arulilo would spend the next early years of his childhood going through school as any other child his age did. 

 

It seemed like after he left early grade school, Arulilo became much more reserved in himself and less likely to enter social situations. Things at home with his mother were getting more and more tense due to them being immigrants. The government wanted them to return to their country since the fighting stopped and they no longer had reason to seek refuge. The constant moving around would upset Arulilo and he began to resent his mother for not finding a stable home for them. He would feel the human emotion of anger course through his body. Arulilo would eventually begin to become argumentative with his mother and develop rage towards others around the age of 9. 

 

When he was 11 years old, Arulilo moved back to his country with his mother after years of being subjected to harsh government restrictions on refugees' country wide. This would become an extremely unstable and rough time for him. Even though the fighting in neighboring countries was at a rest, Arulilo would still hear gun shots ringing out into the silent night sky as he slept. It became truly unpleasant for him. He didn't feel as if anyone cared about where or what would happen to him if his mother passed. Arulilo was a timid, young child with developing anger issues and the inability to express them appropriately. 

 

At the human age of 14. Arulilo's mother was robbed and stabbed in their local city after collecting food at the market. He would find out about the news when he woke up from his sleep. 

 

Something happened to him after that-- Something dark. Arulilo was slowly slipping away from reality inside of his mind. He could not get the images of his mother to leave him. Resentment and hate would spew like bombs around him. He began to wonder why this life a as even worth living. Something was lost and he did not feel the need to locate it but to get lost in it and let it consume him. Arulilo would no longer attend school and dropped out at age of 16. 

 

For months, Arulilo would reject food and wander aimlessly around. Living in the despair and guilt that constantly fed him. He was hungry for what came after but didn't have the heart to leave familiarity. He his soul was stuck and hungry only able to feed off the loss and grief he has experienced his entire life. He would attempt to find a way to leave on own terms. 

 

When he was 18, Arulilo would become involved in a collective of individuals that stole merchandise from extremely powerful families. It was not something he wanted to do but it made him feel content and the money really gave him a motive to eventually move away from the home he shared with his deseased mother. Things would eventually not turn out this way. 

 

The day that Arulilo died was like any day that came before. Something didn't seem to right about that particular day- only that Arulilo was feeling content with where he was emotionally for some reason. He and the collective had stolen countless property and money. This had given Arulilo enough to finally leave the country. He had one more job to do before he was released from the collective. 

 

During the operation Arulilo was shot and killed by the resident of the home they attempted to steal from. His death was typical of what happens when a young man gets mixed up in evil tendencies due to the mental grip of grief and pain. This would eventually create the evilness that became the Arrancar he is today.

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 •

The desolate lands of Hueco Mundo begin their lonely call to the now-dead souls. Limbs break off the trees like memories under the roof of dementia. His soul was confused and lost under a mask. Hunger destoryed his mind slowly, like an infestation. He became desperate to satisfy his hunger. His stomach was turning, and he screamed for substance. Arulilo has only ever known hunger. From the time he was a hollow to where he is currently in his evolution, he's always wanted to fill the void but couldn't.
 
Arulilo became a hollow soon after he passed away from the world of the living. He would never be saved by the shinigami and his soul would be left to rot. Maybe he deserved it for the actions he had committed in his life. There seemed to be no place for such evil anyway. His wicked smile and white hair, the actions he took during his life, had easily rotted his soul long before he actually died. Arulilo, like all individuals who die and become hollow, forgot his mortal existence once he became hollow. He made his way to Hueco Mundo with the urge to devour and consume his way to freedom.
 
The drive that he had would eventually lead him through a fire-stricken path of dark evolution and power at his fingertips to harness. Every inch of his soul was begging to break free of the masks and chains that continuously bound him in life and in death. He would take the reins that his soul was destined to take. He would climb his way through thoughtlessness and despair. attempting to find clarity and sophistication. He didn't want to die with the rest of the pack. His soul possessed hollows that were so weak they would never be equal to the force that his soul possessed. He was going to come out alive; his soul demanded it through his screams and terrorizing pain.
 

Menos Grande

It had seemed like forever ago that Aulilo had been eating. He completely lost track of the dead hollows that lay around him. Their eyes were empty from the soul that Arulilo had collected. He would spend hundreds of years trying to fill this hole. His evolution would progress to become a Menos Grande about 250 years into his hollow existence. Tall, black devilish bodies that are composed of hundreds of souls that may never make it to see the light of day.
 
He would not be one of them. His soul was in charge. His mind was slowly becoming clearer with every inch of flesh he tore from another being just like him. He would surpass this stage quicker than any other in his evolution. It must have been the fight. A collection of souls all fighting for one body, and whoever is the strongest will emerge as the victor. This time it would be Arulilo.
 
He would spend the next years of his existence as a Menos Grande, killing other hollows and devouring their bodies until he eventually surpassed this stage of evolution.
 

Adjuchas

It was becoming clear that his body was rapidly toning itself. The lost being that he was when his evolution started was beginning to shed itself free of the misdirection and longing. He would begin to develop into a deer-like Adjuchas. Antlers would start to glow red, like the hatred he felt in his soul, deep rooted in the fibers that held his eternal masterpiece together.
 
He would travel far and wide in search of strong opponents to face. It was beginning to get tough for him to evolve. It seemed that he would kill a thousand people and never feel stronger. He was beginning to think that his adjuchas form was the final stop, that his body would regress, and he would become one of the hollows that never attained their freedom. This wouldn't be the case. Arulilo would continue on his journey to become the strongest human anyone has ever seen.
 
Arulilo spent the most time in this form. Something like 400 years. During this time, he would wander the lonely desert, feeding off of whatever he could find. He never stumbled across an opponent that could damage him, and therefore, he was primed to become an arrancar. Finally, breaking the chains and providing him with the clarity he had only ever imagined.

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐫 •

His light had begun to come into the horizon, Swirling around in flickers of clarity. His mind would begin to grow specific power and discipline to wield it. The mask had broken from his face so that only his bone Antlers remain. His porcelain face would gleam in the dark skies of hueco mundo no longer hiding behind the mask that restricted him for so long in evolution. He would sometimes remember the number of hollows that had to die for him to become the Arrancar that was standing tall in the dunes. It was still so lonely. 

 

Sometime after Arulilo became an Arrancar, he would find that his power was growing. Something inside of him would begin to beckon its call for more. He was still hungry even after he gained clarity to know otherwise. Arulilo would continue to kill and destroy other hollow in hopes to find what it was that he was missing. He would wander the land in search of power; enough power to finally satiate him. It would never seem to come. 

 

It had been some years by this point that his mask had been broken. Arulilo was finding it hard to locate hollows and had been wandering around the desert for years. The black sky would seem to go on forever and so would his thoughts. Torture and torment would pound like bells inside of his soul longing for something better- something more. He had given his life to becoming strong and now that he was standing the cusp, why did he feel so empty. It was something nobody would ever be able to describe to a hollow because... they just were. 

 Segunda Etapa

His power was on the cusp of coming to. A petal that wilted from a flower returned to earth to grow again. His power would unfold and develop to a sharp point. Energy would course inside of his deep-set heart; waiting to flourish and command its truth. He would achieve his second release several decades after becoming an Arrancar. Achieving this was not something that came easy to Arulilo. Most Arrancar never make it past their first release, and it takes extreme dedication and the utmost willpower to do so. 

Arulilo developed his second release "hilos" after feeding his hunger for decades. One day, a fierce energy swirled around him and enveloped him in a strong, disaplined form. It was unknown to him and instilled fear at first. He didn't know that this form would complete the power he had been training for ages. He was majestic and strong. A white Deer with bone Antlers and wings that had the ability to cause an explosion at random focused points. Arulilo would go on to, and still continues too today. 

Espada Number 4: Arulilo Meja

It would seem like an eternity before he would develop enough power and enough connections to raise to the top 4 of the legendary espada. To become someone that was respected and looked up to. He was achieving his goals of becoming strong. It wasent over yet; arulilo still had work to do. Hunger to feed into. To date, Arulilo is an Espada that has devoured countless hollows of varying power in search of the hunger hes always felt to be fulfilled. 

 

Nowadays, Arulilo can be seen in Los Noches where he permanently resides.

[Yuki & Yui Tsumugi]

Heya Snofall~! Firstly, here's an official welcome to the site! It's super nice to have you around! Before we get into the swing of things here, just letting you know that if you've any questions, comments, or concerns regarding your grading (or really anything else, for that matter), feel free to DM me over discord n' I'd be glad to assist where I can! Without further adieu, let's get this show on the road~!

---

Starting with your Overall Application, there are a few sections that are just a liiiittle bit short for the position you're aiming for, n' a few things I noticed that I wanted to touch on real quick~!

Starting with Rank, High-Tier Espada positions are actually Rank 4, so you'll start a lil stronger than Rank 3 taking Cuatra~!

I'd like to see an additional paragraph or two for your Appearance, and Fighting Style! Your History also seems to end mid-sentence! Otherwise, everything else looks pretty much golden~!

---

With that out the way, we can get started with powers! As a quick sidenote for your Release techniques, you can actually take out the Technique Class sections; your Release Techniques will be of equal Class to your Primera and Segunda Etapa, which are Class 1 and Class 1-0, respectively~!

Beginning with La Dando, given the fact that you're going Strategist, I don't have a problem with the low costs here~! This tech looks good~

---

Up next is La Toma; given you're going Strategist, I don't really have a problem with this technique as it is; this looks pretty solid!

---

One thing to note, so far; your total techniques are 4 in Primera Etapa, and 3 in Segunda Etapa! You don't have to make that many if you don't want them, but the option is there!

---

With that out of the way, let's hit up what you've got for Segunda Etapa!

Starting with La Castigo, Given it's a sight-based technique, I don't have a problem with the costs as high as they are, though I find it a little confusing that the costs decrease as the size of the explosions increase x) Would you be able to reverse that~? Given these are functioning on your Speed, though, this looks good otherwise!

---

And lastly, we've got La Inocuo! Super strong technique here, but given you're going Strategist, the cut only lasts for two posts, you're limited to twice per thread, n' you've got to be in Segunda Etapa to utilize this tech? This is pretty good to go, all things considered!

---

Once changes are made feel free to drop a reply in this thread, n' if anything needs to be talked about, my DMs are open~!

[Arulilo Meja]

Rank - fixed (3 to 4)
2 paragraphs added to FS and Appearance.
Techniques taken out.
La castigo cost reversed.

Fixed!

[Yuki & Yui Tsumugi]

Everything looks good, you’ve got my 1/2!

[Zeich Yajuu]

Alright, as I'm 2/2, let me just dive straight into the powers.

First, Primera.

La Dando - I'm not sure I entirely understand this ability. From what I can see, when it strikes an opponent, it causes an internal explosion of reishi. This is simply indicated by a difficulty in using Reiatsu for two posts. However, there are several aspects I don't get - how does this relate to the explosive nature of the arrows? If you have offensive explosions AND these restricting explosions, they should honestly be two separate techniques. Additionally, I'm still not sure what "expanding Reishi" means in terms of an opponent doing so. Are you intending "expending," as in spending one's Reiatsu? If so that makes things make a lot more sense but I'd still separate the two abilities. You also mention three sizes of explosions, but you've given us no specifics on what each of those sizes are. How big is a small explosion compared to a medium or large?

Also given the nature of this technique, 10/20/30 Reiatsu is WAY too little for an ability that can restrict you from using techs above Class 5 for two posts. Heck, even the explosive nature is questionable, given your Release would be equal to your Class, or Class 1, and Quincy have to spend 70 Reiatsu for a basic Class 1 arrow, and that same amount to make it explode. That's 140 for an explosive Class 1 arrow, which you're attempting to do for 10/20/30. I might vary the amount up or down depending on how big the explosions are, but I'd say roughly 100/150/200 Reiatsu.

Finally, can you better explain "instability of existing reishi patterns"? Is this just a means of describing the explosion? How does that affect others? Since you mentioned it happens on impact, that could occur even striking an environmental object, causing an explosion. What effect would that "instability" cause for someone in range of the explosion?

In short, we really need to define the mechanics for these abilities.


La Toma - This one's actually pretty alright. The only thing I'd change is make it an RS versus spiritual OS check instead of RS vs RS - there are some enemies who use SpPr for their abilities instead of RS. Also you don't need to make a larger cost for a higher range, that's just a benefit of being stronger. Make the cost a flat 150 when you use this technique (whether it lands or not is irrelevant, you're paying to create the implosion) and adjust the clash type and we're good here.


Onto Segunda!

La Castigo - Most of this is alright, though I see no reason it would be a Speed vs Speed check. Your speed has nothing to do with this attack except to determine how fast you move your head, and that wouldn't be a clash. Just remove the Speed vs Speed part, and I think I'd be okay passing this one.


Lo Inocuo - We have a 250ft range, instant ability with zero resistance that cuts speed down by 50% for two posts. This is nearly auto-hit. I can't pass it as it is. We need resistances and drawbacks beyond a cooldown. I would add the following resistances: "This technique can be negated by an opponent with a higher Offensive Stat, as long as they pay 200 Reiatsu to negate the effects of the field on their body." This gives it a drawback, and still has a use against stronger enemies, as it saps their Reiatsu pool. Additionally, I would add a second addendum: "If an opponent steps outside the field of influence, the technique's effects on them ends, even if the two post duration has not expired." This allows counterplay and also allows you the ability to force opponents away from you, which fits the idea of you being an archer, so it works to your advantage in that sense too. With these changes, you can remove the twice per battle use limit. If you want to keep that use limit, then I'm fine with removing the drawback of ending the technique by moving out of range. Your choice!


Other unique abilities!

Please keep in mind that non-Release techniques can be learned by others, so you can't have Reserved be N/A. It needs to be yes (meaning that only Arulilo can learn it unless they teach it to someone) or no (meaning anyone can learn it). If these are Release techniques, these need to be assigned to your Primera or Segunda levels.

Pacificarse - I'm still not sure what "Expandability control" and "expansion of Reishi" implies. Does this block techniques? Does it increase costs? What exactly does this do? What does it mean to "cut their prowess in half"? You're going to need to explain this in simpler terms.


Esconder - What do you mean by "three turns of a post"? Did you intend for this to be "for the first three posts"? Also for a complete non-sensory ability, 20 Reiatsu is incredibly low. What I would recommend is remove the passive post limitation and simply make it a 50 Reiatsu per post cost, so you can use it freely. In addition, it should have some drawbacks or resistances. For example, an enemy who has an ES of 400 should still be able to sense you. Since it's a stat that's not often boosted very high, your technique would still be useful, and only the higher-trained sensors would be detecting you.


Hoja de Fuerza - a 10 speed cut is very, very small, and is really negligible to even be considered a drawback. For what it's worth though, since this is a very small boost (only +50 strength/speed, when baseline values at high levels are like, 800 strength and 300-400 speed), you probably don't need a drawback at all.


I know there's a lot of big changes in here, but I'm happy to help work them out to make sure they're not only balanced, but still able to be strong and useful in everyday battle. Keep in mind that picking a Type that doesn't boost OS (STR, RS, or SpPr) can make it really hard when clash is such a big deal, so you are going to find disadvantages in a lot of things as a result.
