PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: [/font]The first thing people tend to notice Haven by is not a feature, but an article of clothing. Haven keeps the lower half of his face covered by a gas mask, black in color the mask has two filters, one on each side of the face. In the center some teeth are drawn on, giving it an intimidating appearance. Haven tends to leave this mask on, keeping his facial features hidden so that no one comes to recognize his face. Only people who are close to him are the ones that see him without the mask, underneath it the man hides rather charming looks. Mysterious and Charming is a way to describe the man. His face has an overall oval shape structure, and his cheekbones are placed relatively high. Haven has a sharp jawline and even though hidden his lips seem to have a charming smirk on them. Having a feint color to them, Havens lips are slightly thinner then average. Pearly teeth come into view, strait and seemingly perfect aside from his canines that are extended to give him a more beast like appearance. Moving onto his eyes which are more of a stand out feature to him, displaying most his expression. His eyes are almond shaped and more deep set. His lash line seems to have a natural darkness around them which only contrasts with his eye color. The hue is a rich deep blue color, not overly bright but traces of both red and purple can be found in random flecks of color in the iris. His gaze is best described as intense and can even be unsettling to some people. His brows are strong and can convey his emotion easily. Haven has facial hair that not many ever see due to his mask, but underneath it he has let his facial hair grow out to remain as a bit of stubble around his jawline. The sharp features and eye shape is more then enough to distinguish that Haven is of a Caucasian orientation, if you want to narrow it down Haven has some German blood in him. His features are masculine and strong yet not overpowering. Everything works together to give him a handsome appearance. 

Another thing you might notice about Haven is the marking over his left eye/eyebrow. Being a scar caused by the bullet that killed him the marking had transcended through time with him. Taking a flame like shape tipped with blue it is a symbol of his rebirth.. the scar extends down in a skinny line down his left eye. He also has a blue phoenix tattooed on his right arm along with blue bands around his wrists. Haven's hair is is a dark shade with blue notes in it, think of a midnight sky for example. With the light shining on the strands more of the blue hue seems to pop out. His hair is slightly longer then what it as kept at during his days alive. Not overly long nor too short. Some days his hair hangs down, pieces framing his face rather handsomely. Other days Haven tends to spike or push his hair back, never is it all the way slicked back as some pieces fall down freely, giving a more messy appearance at times. His hair parts more on the left side of his hair, sweeping over to the right. Haven has a hollow hole in an odd place, instead of having one big hole where his heart is, Haven has a small hole in each ear. These simply appear as Gauges which Haven disguises with Medium tapers, it makes him look more punk but more human at the same time.

Haven's skin isn't overly tan per say, but isn't pale either. It lies in the balance where it is touched by the sun to give it a healthy color. His tattoo is placed on his right shoulder blade, along with the espada tattoo Haven has a blue phoenix on his right arm with bands of blue tattooed around his wrists. Being relatively tall Haven's body is conditioned from years of life in Hueco Mundo. A hunter cannot grow weak after all. His muscles are tight and full of power, and are not overly bulky. His core is toned and sculpted, which could make him a lady killer if he wanted to be. His arms are strong with solid biceps to back up that statement. However Haven knows there's a need for balance and leg days, keeping his bulk more evened out and preventing him from having dreaded chicken legs. His thighs are built with more muscle tone then average while his chest is strong but not overly wide, yet adorned with strong pecks and sculpted abs. Over the years in Hueco Mundo Haven's physic has improved. Haven's mask fragments appear along his collar bone compared to his face. Six talon like fragments protrude from under his skin in the form of what appears to be similar to bird claws. Two of these talon like fragments appear under his left eye, smaller in size. 

Haven's attire definitely stands out compared to the standard garb Arrancar tend to wear, it's too plain. Keeping the colors mostly white, black and blue Haven sports a white coat with black trim. The sleeves ripped off and the ends frayed and with no shirt worn underneath, leaving his muscles visible to see. The coat remains open, held together with 5 chain links across his chest. Haven wears a pair of white finger-less gloves that have metal plates on the back of his hands that act as guards. On his left shoulder his jacket is adorned with a shoulder piece that also acts as a pocket to store items. Haven's attire as a whole is adorned with various pouches and pockets. Being a hunter he'll carry everything on him that he takes for his journeys. A hunter never goes unprepared. On each arm Haven has straps that each feature a circular compartment to store things. Wearing fitted white pants a total of three belts strap across his waist. Each belt featuring  a bright blue buckles and have pouches strapped to them for more storage. On his thighs are plates of amour, black in color and mismatched in shape. Haven wears steel toed boots that go up to his knees, dark blue in color. With Haven being a pyro he wears his gas mask to filter out pollutants such as smoke when he plays with fire, this is why it seems to be the first thing people notice about him, because he wears it so often. He also carries around his backpack where he could connect fresh oxygen to his mask, the nap sack is also adorned with miscellaneous things such as a compass,  various pockets, connection to his mask, weapons, tools, supplies ect. 

Haven's reiatsu manifests itself as flames. However unlike real flames there is no heat to them. Taking a mixture of blue and purple hues the reiatsu will waft around him, the more he releases the bigger and thicker the flame becomes. His voice is more deeper, seeming smooth and almost calming when he talks. However once angry calming is the last thing his voice is. In moments of Rage Haven's voice displays sinister tones that are rather intimidating. Being an arrancar the tones seem to suit his race.

-BEFORE DEATH: Haven was a man born into the upper-class. He carried himself with pride and elegance, in those days he was a gentleman. His hair was more black in his human life, appearing more normal as the blue tinge in his hair wasn't the norm back then. Haven's eyes changed as well. Back then he has eyes that were a rich shade of green, a hue more uncommon then blue eyes, which he retains now in his afterlife. Since Haven was born into the upper-class he wore the finest clothing around; from the best crafted suits to the finest garments. He had servants who catered to his every need in his estate. Despite all the wealth and power Haven had in his life he remained humble. Yet being humble didn't keep him from death. 

-HOLLOW: Haven was born into a hollow from a combination of feelings. Regret of not being able to save his fiance from his brother, Anger on how he never even got a chance to fight or defend himself. Sorrow on how he never got to say goodbye to his lover. From all this he was born into a hollow and his mask was formed. His mask protected the naked instinct which was left in him after the loss of his heart, and obscured his original identity and becoming what some would call a monster. For Haven, he took an appearance that was as large as a big beast, being 9 feet tall; but resembled a bird, covered in bone. It was this easily in Haven's hollow life that his soul started to crack. A fragment had been lost and another personality formed around the feeling of aggression, in this time he formed an extra tail. As time passed by and he got stronger with each soul devoured Haven started emitting a flame that was so hot it burned blue. He started be known as the Abolishing Flame/ The Purifying flame, as he burns those who he got close to.

-GILLIAN: The evolution of a Gillian was a big one if anything. Growing to be a few stories tall he kept his bird like appearance. However now his beak was longer compared to before and another tail appeared. He was a phoenix that burned with a blue flame. Normally gillians don't have minds of their owns, but Haven became dominant over the new entity that he was formed with, the evolution giving him the more unique appearance compared to the other gillians normally seen.

-ADJUCHAS: He was a hunter, stronger and smarter. His size upon this evolution decreased while his power increased, being now 10 feet tall and gaining more tails. He was now a 5  tailed phoenix made of bone and adorned with feathers of blue tinged with purple. His flame only grew hotter as his power grew, making it look like what ever his body was consisted of burned away, leaving only a skeleton behind. He's a predator, and a symbol of rebirth. He had yet to retain a humanoid appearance but his strength of will was strong, preventing his mind from being absorbed by the hollows that he consisted of. His flames also prevented him from being devoured by other Adjuchas.

☠ --- PERSONALITY --- ☠
^{- - - - - - - - - - - -} 

[/font][/b][/u]
THE COLD - Its a comfort thing. Haven is use to warmer temperatures so the cold is something more foreign to him and his body.
TRAITORS - Its one thing to put trust in someone and then have them turn their backs on you and betray you. Its infuriating. 
AUTHORITY - In reality its every man for himself. Haven wont accept being treated like a dog to the higher ups.
WHORES - Those who just throw themselves at men are disgusting in his eyes, he always thinks they're STD ridden women. Slutty isn't sexy.  
CHEAPSKATES - No need to be stingy. This also ties into his dislikes for mooches. 
COUNTRY MUSIC - The country twang is actually irritating to Haven's ears, he cant stand it.
PINEAPPLES - For some odd reason Haven can't be around pineapples. Looking at the whole fruit literally enrages him. Why? Who knows.
KISS ASSES - Why do people feel the need to suck up to someone else? They just look pathetic.
FRACCION - Haven has never been a fraccion nor did he intend to be. He thinks fraccion are kiss asses most of the time. If he were to take fraccion they'd have to be trustworthy and not suck ups to him.
BLAND FOOD - No flavors, no fun. Haven likes his bold tastes. So bland, un-flavorful food is unappealing.
UNFAIR FIGHTS - It's like beating up a defenseless animal. You have to irritate the man to a breaking point, otherwise he wont fight anyone in a significantly lower class. (unless its a low hollow he's hunting)
'ROBOTS' - By this we mean people who have a lack of humor and emotion. Lighten up people. Lack of emotion to Haven is actually kinda creepy. 
WEAKNESS - Haven doesn't want to be considered weak, and will do all in his power to improve himself. 
RAPE - The act is disgusting. How can you find pleasure in forcing yourself on someone else? Those who fall that deep into carnal desire shouldn't walk the world.

THE WORD 'FUCK' - The word is the most versatile word ever. Fucking rights. 
SPICY FOOD - The hotter the better in Haven's opinion. He always enjoyed strong, bold flavors.
THE SMELL OF SMOKE - When he smells smoke most likely something's burning. The pyro approves.

PYROMANIAC - Whether its lighting something on fire, or causing an explosion, haven loves it. 
IMPULSIVE - Outside of battles Haven's actions are more spontaneous. He lives in the present, thus does what he wishes. 
SELF RELIANT - Haven has spent years on his own and learned he doesn't need anyone else to survive. He's independent and In some cases he turns away hospitality.
SHORT TEMPER - If you're trying to make Haven snap, it doesn't take much to do it. You got to cross his lines, get in his personal space or simply annoy him for Haven to loose his temper.

BIT OF AN EGO - In some cases he puts himself first because survival is key. However his ego revolves around his strength, he wants to be able to say he can protect someone and live up to his word, so strength is his pride. At the same time he doesn't want to be the fool that gets himself killed stupidly. But on the up side he doesn't boast about himself.
OVERPROTECTIVE AT TIMES - In certain cases Haven will stand in the way and prevent someone he cares about from doing something he thinks is dangerous or plain stupid. Sometimes he'll volunteer to be in their place instead. His stubbornness makes it hard to take no as an answer.   



HABITS
PLAYING WITH FIRE - Being a pyro Haven likes playing with fire. With a lighter, his powers, don't matter. He just likes lighting things on fire and watching them burn.
FIRE DANCING - Some consider it a circus act, but Haven is a fire dancer along with a fire eater. He likes displaying his tricks for others, especially if it freaks someone out. 
BEING DEVIOUS - Even the smallest skill is useful if utilized correctly. Whether its hunting or fighting Haven tends avoid the predictable move and take another unexpected move. 
PROTECTIVE - Those he befriends and grows to care about are the people he wishes to protect. Haven's protective habits often get him in fights he normally wouldn't participate in. This protectiveness stems from his fear of letting loved ones die. 
USE OF DRUGS & ALCOHOL - Alcohol is lovely and cocaine is just great. Aside from those two Haven will smoke marijuana and do the occasional hallucinogenic trip.
SARCASM - To Haven sarcasm is like a second language. Puns and sarcastic remarks slip from Haven's lips from sheer force of habit. Most of the time its in a comical manner.
EXCESSIVE CURSING - Sometimes Haven will catch himself throwing curse words around left right and center. When he gets angry the F bombs will just drop.
ISOLATING HIMSELF TO GO SLEEP - Once he died in his sleep Haven formed a habit of isolating himself from others or locking himself away so he could sleep with ease.He'll do all he can to prevent someone from trying to come after him in his sleep.



FEARS
INABILITY TO PROTECT - He wasn't given the chance to try to protect his fiance when he died. To those that mean something to him Haven wishes to be a sword and shield for them, to make up for times he couldn't do anything.
HAVING TO PULL AWAY FROM A FIGHT - To him backing away shows weakness. Yes he can see the whole 'live to fight another day' crap, but he doesn't want to come off as a coward or a weakling. 
SUDDEN DEATH - He died from being shot in his sleep, he didn't see it coming nor was he able to do anything to prevent it. Death is a common fear mostly everyone shares, but Haven fears a death where he's taken out while vulnerable. 



GOALS
GROWTH IN POWER - Yes many people seek power but Haven doesn't want to reach his peak. He wants to transcend the limits.
REUNION WITH A LOST LOVE - His death was so sudden he never got a chance to say goodbye. One day he wishes to be reunited with his Fiance, even if the chances are slim.
TO BEAT HIGH LEVEL MEMBERS - This goes for every race around, from a fellow Espada to a shinigami Captain. The goal is complete once a high level character from every race is taken down.


ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Neutral 

ASPECT OF DEATH: Rebirth

OVERALL PERSONALITY: To know how life as a hollow changed the man you must understand what he once was like. In his life as a human Haven was a gentleman. He held himself with class and was given all the teachings of a upper class man. Growing up he was taught to speak properly and to carry himself proudly, some of his traits even transcended death and carried onto how he acts now. Haven's personality is an interesting one. Upon becoming a hollow his soul cracked, and those cracks started expanding with each year that passed. Pieces of his soul even started to fragment. Even till this day he feels like a part of him is missing, one that held his patience and perhaps what innocence the man had left. Upon Haven's rebirth as an arrancar his personality has split more, but not enough for each to be considered their own identity. The kicker is when Haven goes to sleep, he awakens with one persona being dominant over the others for that day. The only way another persona can become dominant mid day is in the event of a strong emotional change. He sleeps to awaken anew, and to those that don't know him well the personality changes is somewhat unnoticeable. However to those that have been around Haven you'll notice some contradictions in his actions on a day to day basis. Yet all the persona's work along similar lines yet each have their own quirks centered around an emotion. The major emotions he displays with each persona is displayed below.

ASHES OF BLITZ 
This fragment of Haven's personality centers itself around aggression. When this persona becomes dominant Haven displays a more aggressive nature then he normally does and his cursing becomes more excessive. Because of it he tends to get into more fights then normal, in fact its almost a craving for him. He's more destructive and more likely to cause fires, in fact that's a promise. Everyday this persona is dominant Haven has started a fire and they never are small. If anything Haven is described as excessively violent, yet he wont waste his time with weak opponents unless they are hollows he's hunting. He's more sadistic and in fights will exploit any opening he sees in an opponent. His stubbornness increases as well, meaning its extra hard to sway his decision once hes made up his mind. 

ASHES OF 0 FUCKS
This persona makes Haven more laid back and easy going compared to the other persona. His respect for authority becomes smaller and he's more likely to speak random, rude, or inappropriate things around them with no care in the world. Yet despite his words Haven's less likely to fight in this persona as he's more passive. At times he's nonchalant; unconcerned or too cool to care for some things. However he's easier to talk to and its more likely he'd make friend with this personality, just don't expect him to kiss your ass and try to be your friend though.

ASHES OF PASSION
Perhaps his more softer and passionate side. Actually it's the softest he'll get, traits from his human life had transcended death and lived on through this persona. Feelings of empathy and compassion are more likely to be displayed while in this persona, and he is less likely to get himself in a fight. Instead Haven's more likely to break up fights. This is as close to being the human he once was as Haven will ever be again, showing more class and acting more like a gentleman. With this persona his temper doesn't become such a short fuze but this is his least liked persona as it brings back feels of grief from loosing his lover. If he could turn back time and save her he would do it in a heartbeat; but instead he can only think about he would protect and care for her if she was still around. 

ASHES OF THE HUNTER
This is where the title 'The Hunter of Damnation' stems from. From this persona Haven displays extreme determination. When he sets his mind on something he refuses to let anything get in his way between him and what he wants. He is known to hunt lowly hollows as if they were simple game, and being the hunter that he is Haven will track down his prey even if it goes beyond Hueco Mundo or to the ends of the earth. The stronger the better. With hollows being souls of evil his hunting is seen as a form of a Divine punishment, hence the title 'Hunter of Damnation'. Haven's stubbornness is basically a curse in this persona, as nothing seems to get him to break away from what he wants; he will even break rules if he has to. In combat you'll see how cunning this man really can be. His determination also brings him to learn new techniques quicker then normal.

ASHES OF THE RECKLESS
This persona along with Blitz is more associated to the nature of a hollow. Haven's flat out audacious in his actions. He doesn't think of others, nor does he think of consequences. In this persona he simple becomes bored far to easily. He'll cause a commotion simply so there is a commotion. The boredom he feels in this persona is so strong and annoying that he'll break things, cause a ruckus, or start fights and leave half way into it because it has become to boring. His acts escalate more and more with each commotion he causes, getting more destructive as the day goes on. Sometimes he toys with people's emotions, such as random women if they throw themselves at him; in the end of leading them on he'll call them out on their slutty ways. He's a smart ass in general but more of a gambler in this persona.

IN GENERAL
These are traits Haven displays on a daily basis. However they may either heightened or decreased depending on the persona he displays. When it comes to favors this man has his own code of honor. If he does a favor for someone he expects something to be done in return and vice versa. He speaks his mind, even in situations where his thoughts aren't appropriate or even needed. You can expect this man to break up a serious conversation between allies with some unneeded tidbit that no one knows how to react to afterwards. Sometimes he likes seeing the look of confusion on their faces. Some people would think that Haven is just arrogant, but truth is he doesn't walk around thinking he's better then everyone. In fact you will rarely hear Haven boast, he actually cant stand people talking themselves up. Instead he remains more reserved, letting others figure out how strong he is for themselves.
When it comes to family the man lost his belief in its values since his rebirth. Having his own brother betrayed him, taking his life shattered it all. Instead Haven doesn't consider those of his bloodline as family. He now chooses who he considers a brother, sister, father, ect. Trusted friends make better family in his eyes now. Its safe to say Haven's a smart ass, sarcasm and all. Not only that but he usually cracks perverted jokes. The man also lacks patience for anything else but hunting, in his hunts he could spend hours upon hours tracking a prey. Haven takes no shame in his enjoyment of pain. Being a masochist he'll have no problem taking hits or being rough in bed, either way his masochism works hand in hand with his fighting style; pain isn't something to be feared. When it comes to finding friends Haven has troubles finding trust. It takes time in order for the man to consider placing his trust in someone and even longer to bring them into his inner circle, few people will be considered family. Overall Haven comes off as an intimidating individual, and with his personas some people don't know how to act around him, as his persona's change daily at random.

^{- - - - - - - - - - - -} [/div]

BIRTHPLACE:  Europe 1800's

CURRENT RESIDENCE: Hueco Mundo

MEMORABLE FIGURES:
-Javier Bennet: Haven's and Jacobs father, and once a role model for him.
-Helena Bennet: Mother to Haven and Jacob.  
-Jacob Bennet: Haven's brother and the man who killed him.
-Claire Stratteli: Haven's Fiance who he never got to marry.

HISTORY
Haven's life as a human was cut short, an act of betray by his own kin.
Haven was born in the mid 1800's in a upperclass family. He was the first born son of Javier and Helena Bennet and shared a brother named Jacob who was a mere year younger. The family had wealth and plenty of land and sold spices, food and furs. They farmed a mixtures of grains, plants and had a variety of livestock and with it all sustained themselves and gave jobs to others. Even for that the family had more wealth then it should of. However Haven grew up around this wealth, how was he to know it was unnatural? Since he was a young boy Haven had looked up to his father. The only parent he could remember was Javier, as Haven's mother Helena did not survive Jacobs childbirth. The two young boys were cared for by housemaids, and the finest teachers were brought in to teach the boys proper speaking, reading and writing. The boys grew up with upperclass luxuries, given fine clothes and the best education money could buy in those times. Haven was pushed into business as he was to be his father successor. 

Being the first born son Haven always had to attend social events among the rich. The spotlight was always on him in the community not because of who he was but the status he held. With wealth power was given to you among people, money could buy you so many luxuries. Haven grew up riding horses so he could join the fox hunt once he was older. He has his own race horse which the family would race and bet on along with his own stallion. Since he could ride he accompanied his dad on various hunts. Foxes, big game or bird hunts, regardless of what it was Haven became addicted to the thrill each hunt had. Growing into a teen Haven was among a group of friend of upperclass who did devious deeds. Some would consider them bad apples but these boys were just boys and wanted fun. Some good old fashion breaking stuff fun. The boys would sneak away and do their own hunts, challenging each other on who could get the better game. Through this passion for the hunt Haven's skills on tracking and sharp shooting only expanded

Jacob remained in the shadows, his father had always pushed him towards preparing to join the army like many second born sons do. Since he was born Jacob was never the main attraction, this of course caused jealousy. The envy only grew and grew, on top of everything else Jacob was excluded from Haven's personal group. They were brothers and bonded at home. Yet Haven's free time was consumed by three things, Parties, fights and Claire Stratteli. Haven would get away with so much, but the smallest mistake Jacob made resulted in an uproar. This only enraged him. When it came to parties and sneaking around after dark Haven wouldn't give so much as an invite to his brother. He acted like it was every man for himself so if Jacob wanted to attend events he would have to make his own connections. However unlike Jacob, Haven was growing to be a gentleman with a brash side; He treated people with kindness and swayed from swindling them to benefit his needs. Jacob was a more spoiled rich boy that was obsessed with women of higher class and treated servants like dogs. 

In these times men of all classes would attend and watch boxing matches, and a circle among the rich in the area would get together and prove who's tougher. For Haven it started as rich boy games to gain pride. However more wins just boosted Havens ego, soon it would turn into a passion. Games like croquet, archery, boxing, wrestling, and football were popular; but the excitement was the underground boxing. These private matches were held between heirs of many wealthy families; all being young men with a point to prove. They weren't soft sissy's, they strong men and the testosterone fueled boys fought among each other to gain titles and ego points. To add to it all the spectators bet among another on the fights. It was their underground boxing ring. Here you didn't have the rich name behind you, instead you were yourself and graded on your strength and fighting ability. The battles were bloody, and had little rules. It attracted more and more young men of the middle class until it became its own hush hush organization, an exclusive men's club full of booze, prostitutes and fights. An occasional fight wasn't enough, starting at 16 years old Haven did a fight once a month; each opponent being stronger then the last. It was interesting, exciting, and addicting. In a way Haven lead a double life, attending dances, balls and other social events by day; and retreating to the mens clubs fights at dusk.

The two boys couldn't be more different from each other when it came to women. Jacob loved women but the higher class the better, he was picky when it came to a girls beauty, her wealth, or her status; the man was a downright womanizer. Instead of taking advantage of all the women that threw themselves at him, Haven became disgusted with them. Women were after his looks, charm, and his money; and it didn't matter what class they were born in. The man acted like a proper gentleman but all that would stop once women tried to seduce him, that entrapment didn't phase the man. Sure its all fun and games in the beginning, but when a woman tries to use sex simply to gain a mans wealth it only enrages Haven. From a range of parties to balls Haven had gotten to observe many women, and it doesn't help having a father trying to push you to what he considers a good woman. He seen brats and downright snotty women who barely deserved the title of 'Lady' and he had seen overly fake attention seeking girls. All in all they were boring and you couldn't hold a conversation with most of them because all that was on their minds were fancy laces and dresses. These women started becoming repulsive to him, bringing the man to even toy and mislead them; exploiting their shameful actions for what they really were. Love wasn't something a man talked about, but it was something that had popped up in Haven's mind before. He had been told the right woman would appear from out under his nose, little did he know the truth to those words.

A woman had come into his life, bought by his father and sent to live in the slaves housing. Like many others she would attend to the horses, clean and care for the gardens. Her name was Claire Stratteli. She came into Haven's life like the other servants, being 3 years younger then himself. However she never caught his eye at first. His attention was focused more on the Boxing, and improving himself. Not all of Haven's fights were successful, some nights he would sneak back into the estate covered in bruises and scrapes. The night when he first connected with Rose was when he lost a fight, still bleeding and swollen. With a full mooned sky he crossed her path, awkward at first but in the end she helped him by cleaning him up. That night he got to have a conversation with a woman that didn't revolve around wealth, and on top of that he enjoyed her company; That's how the friendship began between the master and the servant.Being 19 and the Heir to the Bennet family, there was pressure on Haven, something he wanted to escape from when his father hosted a ball in their estate. The ball was held so Haven could find a suitable woman, and his father would introduce the daughters of his business partners to him. However this ball wasn't going to be any different, the same sluts, the judgmental eyes seeking wealth. At least the man had alcohol to null some of these worries, yet he refrained from drinking much that night; the last thing he needed do was get drunk and make an idiotic decision. That ball was on a night with a full moon. women wore their fanciest gowns and the men their most sharpest suits. Yet the man has a plan to make his night more entertaining.

The plan was simple. He would drag Claire into the ball, she would be dismissed from her duties for the day as her company would keep him from boredom. He even went to the lengths to purchase a dark red dress for her to wear. His father disagreed initially, so Haven introduced her under a different name, claiming she was from overseas. They were carefree young adults out for a good time and once he looked at her in the gown he picked out every penny spent on it was worth it. He almost couldn't believe it was the same woman he normally snuck out with. Now all cleaned up and adorned with laces and classy fabrics; she was a diamond in the ruff that was now refined. Haven had missed the raw beauty she possessed, but his eyes were opened now. Why marry up in class? To keep a good reputation? If women of all classes wanted to marry him for his wealth why couldn't he find someone that deserved to have his wealth shared with? Regardless of their class. With booze passed around and music playing, Haven pulled Claire in to dance. It was the first dance he shared with her along with his first time he had gotten so close to her. She was part of the help, but that didn't stop Haven from carrying out his plan. The two laughed, drank themselves tipsy and feasted. At least with her he could he himself. His father was upset once he saw how his son disobeyed him. Yet his father couldn't ignore what was right before him, a connection; a mutual love. With that he couldn't be mad at his son, he had threw this ball so his son could find a potential wife; and regardless of who it was the night wasn't a waste. Haven's brother on the other hand didn't accept his choice, in fact he was disgusted as the woman was nothing but trash in his eyes.

The decision was made for Haven, he would be hers. That night ended with the two making their way to their signature spot, blubbering half drunken stories or simple thoughts on life. Their romance blossomed, perhaps something strait out of a fairy tale. Early morning after the ball ended the two shared a bed, having Haven bring her into the estate until sun was high in the sky. It all seemed perfect, but peace and perfection never lasts. It wasn't long until Haven's father fell ill, Sadly at the time there wasn't much a person could do to cure Tuberculosis. Haven's father was confined to an airtight room, draped with a feather blanket and kept near a hot stove. His health, especially at being an older age, was deteriorating. It was around this time that more servants were brought into the manor, including Claire.These times were tough, and only caused tension between Haven and his brother. Being the heir Haven was brought in for long talks with his father, being introduced to how his father ran his businesses and shredding light on how their family attained more wealth then others. Javier Bennet gone into business with partners that produced a powdery derivation from the coca plant, also known as cocaine. The drug in the powder form was new at the time and paid a pretty penny to get. Sir Bennet had gone into a partnership with oversea traders to produce and refine the drug, creating connections and a business that ran behind closed doors. Haven now began juggling business with his daily life, using boxing to relief his stress and tension. 

Once Haven's father passed away the estate and all Javier owned belonged to Haven. He was in charge now, and brought Claire into his life more properly, asking her hand in marriage. The two were now engaged and it only infuriated Haven's brother to the point that their arguments caused Jacob to be kicked out to live on his own. This hatred his brother formed for him brought him to his own death, where Jacob snuck into the estate one night and shot Haven point blank while he slept, and shipped his fiance away to a brothel. He was helpless and wasn't even given a chance to protect himself or his fiance... from all this, Haven was born into a hollow

 
THE AFTERLIFE
It was soon that Haven had fallen. The majority of ghosts peacefully move on to the Soul Society after their deaths, but Haven was not one of them. Instead of finding peace he became a Tsukirei, bound not to the earth but to Claire herself. For the beginning of his afterlife Haven watched Claire as she was shipped off to a brothel, branded with their mark, and used to make a profit. Feelings of regret and frustration began to consume the man, or what was left of him. Why wasn't he given a chance to protect himself and his lover? Why did he have to die only to have all that he owned go to someone that didn't deserve it? Was life really that cruel, and Karma only a joke? Haven was consumed with a barrage of unanswered questions, making him into a man of many hostile feelings. He was a violent ghost that tormented people who tried to or bought services from the brothel that included Claire. In the next few years the man followed the woman and tormented her enemies, blinded with rage. His chain of fate only decreased in size with each day, being closer and closer to truly falling.

It took Claire's own death to shake the man. She died being strangled  by another man, with the extreme despair the chain corroded and a hole opened up in Haven's chest, signifying that he lost his heart. When this occurred Haven's entire soul fractured, more cracks ready to form. Over Claire's body a hollow was born, a piece of his soul lost; and a wish of being able to be with her, or to protect her from the afterlife was cast. Within minutes of becoming a hollow Haven killed the man, and went out on a kill spree. He wanted to get rid of this anger, using aggression to complete this task. However this anger didn't die, and the aggression only grew with his power. There were many battles that this hollow had to overcome. First, the hunger came in. Haven took the form of a monstrous bird that resembled a phoenix. The hunter part of him formed as he continued to consume hollows much like him, it became a game. Targeting more interesting and powerful Hollows now Haven started tracking and hunting down his prey. He lost a part of himself, even memories of following Claire in his afterlife was starting to fade; all he could recall was anger and despair. He had a hole in him, more then the hollow hole; he lost a part of his soul, and cracks it caused were getting bigger. These fractions effected his personality, which rotated from day to day now. He was a phoenix, born anew with the days that passed. His anger faded some days, and was replaced with a desire to get more powerful. As he progressed through the ranks, he became a menos. There was a great deal of evolution and growth that happened within Hueco Mundo. He kept out of the affairs of the espada and didn't become a dog that followed others, It was at this point that he changed. He felt his hunger set in and take a hold of him again. As he ate other hollow, he became a more stable gillian.

Haven continued through the ranks. His hunger grew as he continued to eat, yet it never filled the void within him, It was tormenting. The feasting continued all up until he made his way through to Vasto lorde. The stage previous had been rough however. Haven had to savage for food. The bird like creature he was had to pick off random adjuchas. It was a great relief when he became a Vasto Lorde. As he progressed and became stronger, his mask broken to full Arrancar; haven was ready. He was a man of fire, a hunter on his own path. He was approached by the head arrancar, given clothes and asked to join their ranks. This offer was refused, he wasn't ready. With him Haven carried a large bag for his things and wore a gas mask to prevent breathing in smoke or harmful fumes, disguising his face in the process. It was soon in a battle with a fellow arrancar that Haven would find his next release. It was the drive not to revert which kept him going. As he was crowded by Vasto Lorde, Haven felt himself slipping. There were too many and his power was so limited. In a final attempt, he pushed himself forward and unleashed his final state. The new power he gained was satisfactory to him, and with it he recently returned to the Espada, accepting a position. He stuck around for the missions, they gave him people to hunt that were stronger and more fun to track. Yet the hunter has yet to find that piece of him that broke away.

[Haven]

☠ --- POWERS--- ☠
^{- - - - - - - - - - - -} 

[/font][/b][/u] Haven's fighting style is one that can be described by one word, cocky. The man loves to fight stronger opponents that are in his way or rather, that piss him off. Haven isn't one to care if there is a stronger guy. However, if that stronger person is in his way due to a goal, he'll go to the ends of the earth to kill them. With determination like Haven's Haven's the man has gained a lot of fighting experience, from boxing battles while living as a human to hunting his own kind as an Arrancar. Haven's love of battle is one that pushes him to extremes. He will use unorthodox methods of fighting, usually a boxing stance that leads into a lot of punching; he hates it when an opponent dies too quickly you see. Things like bouncing on his heels and dodging attacks to get in close to the opponent and deliver a combination is not unlike him. Haven will always be smirking while he is fighting and egg on his opponents with insults. It gives him an intimidation factor. Though the man always likes to laugh as he battles, it gives him a sick sense of pleasure that he's breaking or destroying walls in his way. The man isn't deranged per se, he just really loves combat, it is his release.

There are times however, when there are opponents that are a bit too stronger. For these cases, Haven will actually draw his sword. Despite his appearance, the man does have quite the ability with a sword. He'll seem a bit more focused and less rash. The man is scary when he puts his mind to something such as murder. Haven will draw upon his sword and hold the sheath out to the side. He likes to try to utilize unorthodox moves and skills to fight others; incorporating his feet and his entire body while using a sword. Haven hates to stick to traditional things, he likes to be as free as possible. The man will quite literally push forward and push his opponent back. There isn't anything Haven hates more than being forced into the defensive, its a pet peeve. To him, that feels like he is losing the tide of battle and it makes him sick to his stomach.

At times, Haven himself will use only one hand for a sword. He may even get cocky against a very strong opponent and attempt to pull out some fancy moves or tricks, utilizing his surroundings. The man is always careful though, but he loves pissing people off. He is like fire, anger…which consumes. Haven's main ability in combat is to read his opponents. He predicts where they will go, but makes it seem as though he cannot do this. It's a sneaky trick for a hunter, one he uses to trap his enemies. He riles up his opponents so they don't think with a clear head, and generally keeps himself from falling for similar trickery. His passion and love of combat are exemplified when he is running around fighting opponents. It should be noted that Haven has a great deal of reason to fight opponents that are in numbers. He hates when people gang up on others, nothing pisses him off more. When Haven sees something he hates, he will go full on combat. These are the times when Haven knows that an opponent is at a very high class or knows that he himself may be outmatched. If forced tow fight such an opponent Haven will pull out dirty tricks from his book. Because in a life and death battle, there are no rules. 

During these times, Haven will still be cocky but his expression will change. He won't seem as though he is enjoying things as much as much as he is focusing. Haven holds out his sword and begins to act more like a person who is adept at swordplay. He will make sure he doesn't get hurt and actually make moves that are more logical. He doesn't play anymore, rather, he wants to win more than anything. Maybe he's proving his strength for himself, or making a statement on not to be messed with. Regardless the man has honed his skills over the years with a combination of tactics, sword play, boxing, foot movements and stamina to keep it all going. Haven's expression may get lost and he may not speak as much, only here and there. When he doesn't want to lose, he becomes a scary analytic beast. The man will push around, dodge, and attack as he sees fit. Truly, it is frightening when Haven finds an opponent that he will consider someone that he should kill. He will focus his entire self to killing and overcoming this obstacle. He is a hunter, and a successful one

ZANPAKUTO APPEARANCES: 
SEALED - In a sealed state, Haven's weapon is a simple katana. From the base to the tip it measures 70 centimeters. There is a purple sheath which holds the katana. The sleek metallic blade is kept well maintained. The real intricacy comes with the guard and the handle. Haven's pre released state has a deep red handle that is tightly woven in a repeating pattern . As for the guard, it is in a strange rectangular pattern which encompasses two rectangular shapes. The guard itself is a very interesting golden color. There is also diamond like shapes that are present upon the handle of the sword. The sword is generally utilized for combat whenever Haven wants. He isn't someone who fights very much with a sword but he will do so whenever he wants to play with his opponent. Sometimes he will show off his skill with it.

PRIMERA ETAPA - Once Haven takes on his release he takes on characteristics from his life as an adjuchas. From the top Haven's hair gains a certain texture, with a slight addition to the length the strands are more feathered and whispy compared to how it was before. The previous marking on his left eye now grows in size and covers the majority of the left side of his face in a flame like dark blue patch. Adorned on top of his head is what appears to be the skull of a large bird; this acts much like a helmet that has a long curved beat in the front, surprisingly it doesn't interfere with his view. The skull is decorated with blue and purple feathers sprouting from the back of the skull; pulling it all together to make the skull look like a headdress of some sort. Haven's mask fragments grow in size upon release, this means the two talons under his left eye double their length and almost in width, and the six talons along his collarbone become huge and almost act as strips of armor along his pectoral muscles. Feathers now appear on the man in various clusters. Small sets of feathers can be found on Haven's collarbone which then extend up behind his neck. The feathers then blend into a pair of wings that Haven now possesses on his back. His wings look as if they are made up of a bone like material, and are decorated with a sparse set of feathers, each strong and sharp.

Due to the wings Haven's clothing is either removed or torn from his torso. Attached to his hips are a set of six phoenix like tails. Each are made up from a similar material the wings posses, formed in small sections that twist, turn and move as an extension of Haven's body. The tails are decorated with more blue and purple feathers, each being hard as steel. At full length the tails reach around six feet in total, and are used in both offensive and defensive maneuvers. At the tip of each tail are two large and curved feathers that act like spikes and radiate a small blue flame. More of these hardened feathers cover areas on Haven's body such as along his hips and back. His blue bands around his arms now extend into tattoo's of a blue flame going up his forearms. Another big change is Haven's legs from the knee down. His feet are coated in large metal plates, and his feet change to look more bird like, talons and all. Despite the change in his feet Haven's balance actually improves and his footwork takes half the effort to complete. In his release Haven's left hand is equipped with a pair of metal braces, From one around his wrist spikes protrude, one large and curving backwards while the other is shorter and curves forwards over his hand. On the other brace further up his arm then the first one is yet another spike that curves backwards.

 Once again this works both in offensive and defensive tactics. The spikes have some holes carved in them, giving them a rather jagged look. The man also keeps his blade generally in his right hand, that blade to also takes on a change. The Katana's guard change's it shape and becomes larger, its appearance is of the wings of a phoenix and the blade itself grows in length and width. Over it all, from the hilt to the blade, is coated with the radiant blue flame Haven possesses. The sheath simply turns into ash to use with his abilities, and manifests within ash used once sealed. 
. 
SEGUNDA ETAPA -


ZANPAKUTO RELEASE NAMES
-- Rise from the Ash ; Fénix De Ruina | Phoenix of Ruin
--                                                                                       



OVERALL ABILITY:  Haven's overall ability is quite simple, rebirth. How he will perpetuate this is by causing himself to be lit on fire. The fire that he utilizes will be a very interesting blue-violet color. The color is very intense and seems a bit bright; perhaps even slightly blinding in huge amounts. The ability that Haven utilizes is able to produce this colored flame. This flame is rather searing hot and burns a bit faster than normal flames. Being embedded with his own reiatsu, these flames aren't like normal fire thus cannot be extinguished by normal means like water. The unique aspect of it is that the burning causes ash to readily emit form whatever is burning. So instead of burring it away slowly, it burns away and flows ash down from whatever it is burning. For example, a building burning would have ash coming down it as though it were sand in an hour glass. This ash collects wherever, the location is unimportant but the amount is.

Once Haven has enough ash, he will be able to produce a clone after a given period. Granted, he must have enough ash to produce a clone (in his height). The time it takes to generate a clone can be halved as long as he has more ash available to him Ii.e via destroying constructs). The more constructs he destroys the more readily he will have ash to produce his clones from. This is the way that Haven will fight most of the time. It should be noted the clones will be just like a new 'haven' in released form


PRIMERA ETAPA:
To burn in flames, and be reborn in the ashes. This is the tale of the phoenix, and the words that generally describe Haven's power. His ability in his Primera Etapa is to produce a violent blue and violet flame that scorches and burns, these flames are embedded with his own reiatsu and cannot be extinguished my simple means. Instead of simply burning away, the fire produces a great deal of ash. As it burns objects, it causes ash to pour down from it. The intense flames are hotter than normal fire. If you ever heard of color temperature, you know the blue flame color is just due to efficient combustion as it burns with more destruction. If they are upon another person, it will burn them as though they were on fire, gaining 2nd or 3rd degree burns upon contact. However, the person would constantly be spilling ash all over as they burned. These flames will be immune to Haven and he can even coat himself in it and fire it as he wills. The fire may be emitted forcefully through any part of his body. Haven will readily utilize this for projectile attacks or augmentation of his melee combat style. His flames are far from normal thus it is no surprise that they burn unusual materials that normally wouldn't burn.This is the most basic part of his ability but leads to the next part of his ability, the rebirth.

Haven's additional ability allows him to 'rise from the ashes'. Because of this, the ashes that are produced allow him to readily form clones for himself. How the mechanics for this work, are every 8 posts Haven is able to form a clone; given sufficient amount of ash. To produce one clone, Haven is required to burn or create ash that is equivalent to that of his body. Whenever Haven burns through something that is larger than his own body however (i.e large construct) it halves the time it takes to form another clone. ( I.e 8 posts--> 4 posts). This also carries over if Haven has awaited posts and then burns through a construct. For example, if Haven burns enough ash and has waited 2 posts, he has 6 posts remaining before a clone emerges. However, if he burns through a large construct, that becomes 3 posts that he has to now wait to form a clone.

Clones: The clones will be the rejuvenated form of Haven. The ashes will spontaneously light on fire and form a Haven which looks just like the released one. These clones will be as though a new and fresh Haven has entered the battle; regardless of the state of the other one. He will have the same abilities as Haven does, causing massive fire destruction to perpetuate more clones, yet have no access to his techniques (unless they are already a part of one). This is essentially the strategy that Haven will employ. Simply burning through things with his clones and creating more clones. It should be noted that only one clone can be created at a time. By this, it is implied that regardless of the number of clones, there will be the 8 post wait per clone. However, as stated above, this time can be reduced through production of more ash. Each clone tends to take on a fragment of Haven's personality, some more destructive then others. However these ash clones are able to communicate with each other and Haven with simply the use of their minds. Despite the Clone's personality Haven is the one that pulls the strings, but careful planning can deceive an enemy into thinking a clone is the real Haven and their main target. The clones remain unless they are either destroyed or Haven's abilities are sealed. Another thing interesting about the clones is their reiatsu and the fact they bleed ash. Since they are a part of Haven and his abilities, all the clones give off the same reiatsu signature which gives Haven the opportunity to blend among them.

*Note: Please note that Haven's fire will not harm anyone that he has strong positive feelings for. As such, they will simply be able to be within the flames without consequence. If they are mere acquaintances, there's not much he can do about it.


ZANPAKUTO TECHNIQUES:

[EXPLODING EPIDEMIC] - In this technique, Haven will launch a talon from his arm towards the opponent. They may think it just a talon, however it is much more. This talon is able to detonate at Haven's will to produce an enormous explosion. This explosion will release his fire in all directions in a dome shape, turning what is inside it to ash. The explosion covers a total distance of 45 meters and leaves nothing in its wake After the explosion however, there is a small side effect. The ash that is within the area will rise up as a gaseous form, which will cause passive weakness. The ash, lined with reaitsu, will collect upon the opponent, hardening slightly with reaitsu. With each post that passes during exposure, their speed is first drained 10% per post. The effects wear off 4-5 posts after exposure, This is negated if one is protected by Haven's flames.
REIATSU COST: 250 per bomb
DRAWBACKS: The drawback to this technique is first and foremost its reiatsu cost. Secondly, the technique doesn't distinguish between friend nor foe, it will destroy anything in its wake. Next, if someone escapes from the cloud, they will only suffer for the posts that they've been in the gas. The attack is rather destructive and is in-discriminant. Once activated, not even Haven is able to stop the large scale explosion that erupts,nor save anything from being incinerated. Those with immunity to ash gas are unaffected by the gas along with those who remain out of its range. Only two bombs can be created per post, and can remain un-detonated for 6 posts before becoming a 'dud'. 


[PHOENIX OF INCINERATION] - Haven forms a giant creature made from his flames. The creature takes on the form of a large scale phoenix (around the size of a small house) which Haven can fully manipulate, as he and the phoenix can work as one. The phoenix is composed of this blue flame, meaning water does not extinguish him, nor does he have a physical body. The phoenix cannot be grabbed, thrown or anything of the sort. It is simply flame that brings more ash to the world. The bird can pass through solid objects, lighting flame to people or things [However reiatsu based barriers can block the phoenix]. Anything that the Phoenix passes through lights on fire, whether its cloth or wood. 2nd or 3rd degree burns appear if you're caught in the fire for a short time. This phoenix travels with a speed that matches Haven's main offensive stat.
REIATSU COST: 500
DRAWBACK: This technique has the reiatsu cost as its drawback. It essentially works in conjugation with the man's released form. The phoenix can be manifested for a total of 6 posts and with a cool down of 7 posts; cool down starts at the end of manifestation. Being composed of flame this technique isn't the best choice if Haven's fighting in an area where the surroundings are needed. Buildings and Forests aren't the best choices. The phoenix is also limited on being used in a defensive manner. Being said it can burn away certain projectiles with its body, however the force of blasts can still send Haven flying.


[SACRIFICIAL CERO] - Haven and his clones form something of a super Cero. He will utilize as many clones as he has to create a Cero that is a class above his per clone. If the highest class is reached, then it will simply add to the Cero's destructive nature; temporarily boosting RS by 200 / clone; just for the duration of the attack. Haven will gather his clones and a ball of energy will form around them. Once they release it, it forms a very powerful Cero that can destroy a great deal and with a horrendous amount of force. This unique cero keeps going after hitting a target, and simply consumes and incinerates all in its path. It's range, height and width depends on the amount of clones sacrificed. With one clone its the size of a normal Cero, with two that size doubles, with three the size triples ect. 
REIATSU COST: 600
DRAWBACK: This technique requires Haven to have clones. Essentially, without any one of the clones, he cannot do this attack. Couple this with the reiatsu cost and it is something that takes some time to build up. This can be stopped if the clones are destroyed. The ash composing the clones being sacrificed cannot be reused after this attack. After the attack, the clones that were involved in the attack are sacrificed, turning to ash; note that this ash cannot be used to make clones any longer. Cool down is 5 posts.


[OVER-CLOAKING BLAZE] - The fire Haven uses will envelop him in a full body fire cloak. This cloak is made from his reaitsu and is semi tangible. As such, it acts as sort of a 'buffer' for reaitsu based attacks. It will reduce the overall effectiveness and damage of reaitsu based techniques by 2/3 while worn. The cloak can be worn for 6 posts before requiring a 6 post cooling period.
REIATSU COST: 300
DRAWBACK: With the reiatsu cost being a main drawback, the people cloaked in fire cannot touch others that aren't cloaked unless they wish to burn them. Aiding someone cloaked can be a difficult task. If attacks are from someone of a higher class then Haven the buffer only reduced reiatsu damage by 1/3. Anyone with twice Haven's RS or superior class are able to bypass the cloak.


OTHER TECHNIQUES: [/ul]

Class: [6] [Cannot be learned until class 6]
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects: An Arrancar-exclusive 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: [Sonido (Lit. Sound Step)]
Class: [4] - 7-1.
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects: A powerful technique, Sonido is a step that increases movement speed for a single step. Essentially, it magnifies the speed of just that one step, by 13 times. Each step for Sonido costs 100 Reiatsu. Additionally, this technique does not take up a technique slot.

How to use technique:  
Just use it and drain the Reiatsu.
Drawback: Reiatsu cost.



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.



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.[/ul][/font][/font]

Street Fighting (3): Same idea as martial arts or weapons, except it needs no specification because it is its own thing. Same point value ideas and everything. Street fighting means the ability to fight with basic, untrained skill value, learning simply from experience in random places. No specific styling. Improvisation fighting

Battle Analysis (3): An advanced, specific skill value for analysis, this is used generally to analyze situations in combat. When the user has this skill, they can quickly see, evaluate, and judge the correct decisions in battle situations, such as gauging what kind of a technique was just launched at them, and logically going through the steps to deducing what an enemy's power is based on clues that they have been given. It is a very valuable skill to have.

Sex (3): One of the most self-evident skills there are. This skill determines how good one is at performing sex. However, it has surprising other uses, as displayed in the past. Knowledge of sex does not only apply to intercourse, but also to physical contact on sensual locations, areas of tension, and ways to attract another person.

Weapons [Katna] (2): How good are you at a weapon? Well, that depends on the points in this skill. Most weapon related non-release techniques will probably require a certain skill point amount in this skill, as will many different fighting style operations. When you apply this skill, you go "Weapon: [Name of Weapon]." Example, "Weapon: Swords: [Point Value]." A 1 in this would be adequacy. It's as if you've been training for perhaps a year in the weapon. A 2 would mean you've gotten quite good, having trained for perhaps five years. A 3 would mean that you've achieved a great mastery, having trained for perhaps ten, twenty, or even thirty years. A 4 would allow you a creative advantage in being able to use anime-style creative sword techniques, such as a Kenshin technique. It would however require a huge amount of training. Remember that when you put points in this skill, you must specify a weapon type. You can even use moderate-range categories, such as “swords,” rather than a specific style of swords, but not so broadly as “blades,” which would allow daggers, two-handed swords, etc.

Analyzing (2): How well can your character analyze? Depends on how much you've put into this skill. This skill is a very strategic skill which is used for analysis of events, history, circumstance, and even certain aspects of combat. Depending on the points in this, your character would be able to either moderately or quickly and accurately analyze things that they see. Should your character see a repeating pattern, this skill would allow them to recognize and decipher it quickly. The same would apply to puzzles, ciphers, etc. Motives and people can also be quite well analyzed by this skill, and even weaknesses to the opponent in a combat situation. This is used for analyzing of text, of event, or of information and data. With a 1, one is not bad at it, but could be better. A typical high school student would have a 1. A 2 means someone has gotten far better at it, someone reaching adulthood. A 3 is mastery, and someone who is a strategist for the army or something of the like would have a 3. At a 4? A 4 is unimaginable. Think "Sherlock" level.

Battle Focus (2): This is a focus skill which allows the user to hone in on their enemy for advanced focusing. In a chaotic situation, those with Battle Focus can still see and recognize their enemy, their enemy's actions, and how to combat them. Little distractions do not confuse. This allows the user to focus on every aspect of the enemy, from their steps to their breathing. One can find their enemy through illusions, through invisibility and other cloaking, etc.
