If you were a Soul Reaper or Hollow?; Bleach

I know, weird title. Basically this thread is for saying what you think you'd be like if you were a Soul Reaper or a Hollow from the anime and manga, Bleach. They have a really detailed setup worked out, with all these technical aspects worked out, so I thought this would be fun.

Now, of course, there's a large element where this is more like what you would WANT to be like if you were a Soul Reaper or Hollow... but also try to put some thought into it, and see if you can figure out something realistic.

So, I guess I'll start. It might scare you how much thought and effort I've put into this... but hey, I've always said I was a geek. You don't need to put nearly as much detail as I have, so don't worry.

------------------------------------

I'll start with if I was a Soul Reaper. First, I'll go with the Zanpakto (sp?)... In the anime, the ones we've seen didn't really have personalities that matched their owners'. It was more like they went together. But in most cases they were very dissimilar (though that doesn't necessarily apply to the actual powers of the sword.)

So, going with that, it was hard for me to figure out what mine would be like. I think mine would be serious, patient and calm. They would probably be nice and would have some aspect that would be pretty or artistic. I would like to say it would be some kind of creature, but I don't think that would be the case. It would likely be a human. Based on these qualities, I'd think it more likely that it would be female rather than male. So I'll randomly assign one of my favorite female Japanese names (since all the swords have Japanese names,) "Sakura."

Now, my shikai (first release form.) Based all all the above qualities, plus some of my own and what I think a preferred combat style for me would be... I think the power would be something pretty or at least artistic, but I also think it would be offbeat and likely very brutal in combat. So I think my shikai would transform my sword into a sword made of white paper. This paper could fold into an immense variety of shapes and styles, like Origami. I could make wings, monsters, chains, or different weapons out of the paper, or even cut someone with it and unfold it inside their wound. Like I said, brutal. The paper would be as strong as steel. Based on these qualities and the Zanpakto's name, I'd say it's release command would be something like "Bloom," ie, "Bloom, Sakura!"

As for the bankai (second release form,) I went with the same approach, but factored in the fact that these release forms are supposed to generally be expansions of spiritual energy, and are generally massive (Ichigo's is the only real exception to this.) So I think my bankai would make my sword melt into a massive puddle of ink. I could mentally manipulate this ink. I could use it as a weapon on it's own, of form it into whatever I see fit. Weapons, armor, extra limbs, creatures... whatever. There would be a lot of it, but a set amount. I wouldn't be able to make more if I needed it.

------------------------------------

Next: If I were a Hollow. There's also all that Arrancar stuff, but I'm not far enough in the anime yet to know all the details, so I won't get into that now. Maybe later after I've seen more. I'll just go with a normal Hollow.

First, personality. I think if someone turned into a Hollow (at least when it's not by choice, which would be the case with me,) it would bring out all their worst qualities while suppressing their best ones, in addition to making them violent and hungry. So I think I would become a Joker-style madman. I would likely make crass, dark jokes and laugh at everything. But I also think I would be frighteningly unstable and become very angry very easily. This personality would carry over to my "Hollow side" if I were a Vizard, like Ichigo.

Now, my physical traits... I think I would be lizardlike. My legs would also be arms, and each of them would have a hand. I would be able to stand on all of them, or stand on my hind legs. I might even have more than four. I would also have a flexible, strong tail with a hand on it as well. All of my hands would have claws. My mask would be a bit similar to Ichigo's, in that it would resemble a skull, although it might have a bit of an elongated shaped (resembling a muzzle,) to fit with the lizard-like appearance. The eyes would be narrow, and would resemble the "happy squinting" thing you see in anime. The mouth would like like the one on Ichigo's mask, except it would curve up at the sides, making it into a creepy grin.

I would of course have all the standard Hollow powers, such as strength and Cero blasts. If I were to have a unique power like some Hollows have, I think, based on the personality, that it would be some kind of illusionary ability. Probably nothing really extreme or powerful. Perhaps something like this: I can cast an illusion on a person by making eye contact. The illusion only can be seen or heard by them, but the spell can last for up to 30 seconds after eye contact is broken. I could also cast an illusion on a spot that anyone could see or hear by looking at it. This illusion could also stay there for up to 30 seconds after I stop looking at the spot. So basically, as a Hollow, I'd use this power to mess with my enemies.

And... that's all.
