General Character Information Name: Tenmei D. Gatsu (Tenchikaimei Dono Gattsuku) Age: 25 Living, 10 Dead Birthday: February 29th Gender: Male Hometown and current residence: Boston Appearance and Personality Appearance: Tenmei is quite small for a hollow, only slightly larger than an average human in size, at least to an external observer. He appears as a tall, broad shouldered man in a black cloak that seems to bleed into the ground around his feet. When he walks with his head lowered he does not seem that different from a human without close inspection. The arms that emerge from below the cloak are of indeterminate race, seeming to be dark skinned, verging on truly black as opposed to deep brown, and seem lightly muscled, lithe to the casual observer. Closer examination, though, reveals them to be disproportionately long, and over-jointed, while the hands that lay at the end of them end not in fingernails, but in curved claws. Below the hood of his cloak hides his hair and mask. He has short, dark brown hair, almost black, and his mask appears quite plain, pair of white planes over his face, meeting over where his nose should be, making a smooth crease that runs along the center of the mask. It features two horizontal slits, depressed slightly, into the mask. He mask has no apparent mouth, though when he chooses to open his jaws, it splits the mask right where a human's mouth would be, though if he wishes it the mouth may be as wide as the entire front of his face. Beneath the cloak he wears what looks to be a black short sleeved shirt of indeterminate material, and black jean pants, done up with a belt who's buckle seems to be of the same white material of hollow masks. Along with the dark garb he wears large, matching black boots. In truth, though, his existence is a good deal larger than the humanoid form. That which appears to be his 'clothing' is an extension of himself, his cloak bleeds into the floor as he enters area, and the black material that makes up the rest of his form melds into and darkens the surrounding shadows. Those who are exceptionally perceptive of spiritual presences may be able to even see the tendrils that extend from him. Personality: Tenmei is a strange hollow, while he eats what he must to survive, he seems to have an understanding that he and his who get too outrageous, who feed too much, too openly will be hunted down and killed. Because of this he works in circuitous ways, taking advantage of his smaller size and humanoid appearance to avoid attention whenever possible. His goal, perhaps much like all hollow's, is to gain more power, to become stronger, but for him it seems more valuable to carefully take what he can manage, pull in what comes to hand, and not to overextend himself. He is one that would rarely use brute force when trickery would do, and tends to assume his foes are more powerful than they present themselves to be. Hollow Abilities: Shadow Sludge Tier 1: The most basic component of Tenmei's combat ability is his expanded presence. While it is not a rapid process, he can easily 'dissolve' from one location to emerge from one of the shadows that contain one of his fragments, which he can spread out to fill the shadows of about a small house. He can, additionally, form a fistful of dark material which seems to emerge, dripping and oozing, from his palms, which he can hurl at foes. It splashes about the area where it is thrown, and functions as a potent acid, melting through objects and capable of causing horrible burns to even spiritually reinforced flesh. Tier 2: At tier 2 Tenmei's ability expands to be able to encompass about twice the area previous, and his transfer is much more rapid. The material he forms is mostly unchanged, though he is capable of forming larger amounts of it at once, and if he hurls it directly it travels much more quickly than his previous form. Also, he is now capable of causing it to curve and shift direction. He is also capable of producing a different variety of emanation, dark like the previous, but in the form of what appears to be a crystalline globe. He hurls this, much like the other, and when it contacts a target, attack, or surface, it bursts open in a moderate area of effect which holds for a moment, as well as emitting a force that draws those nearby towards it. Tier 3: Upon reaching the third tier of his development Tenmei can almost instantly dissolve to emerge elsewhere from his shadows, which can extend over a city block. His control of the thrown sludge is expanded, and his is also capable of firing constant bursts of it. Finally, the spheres he can create travel much more rapidly when hurled, their area of effect expands, and the force they emit is greatly enhanced. Other abilities: Though his abilities do not entirely support it, Tenmei is a more than functional melee combatant, particularly since he is quite immune to his own abilities and therefore free to litter the area near him with his attacks, as well as being quite a bit stronger and faster than most humans, as well as having his claws. His Cero is overall black with a dark purple center and veins of energy that run throughout. At higher levels, it shares the suction force his explosions do, but much stronger. Since the Cero moves faster, though, it will rarely pull a target into it unless they're very close to it already, but it can throw his foes into disorganization even if it misses. History: Tenmei hardly remembers who he was when he was alive, or what his name was then. Even though he has not been dead for very long, his days of life seem very far away. Life seems like a distant memory. He can just barely remember that he was often alone, that there were not many who were close to him, not many who cared for him. It does not bother him in retrospect, being alone cannot have seemed so very bad, not with how weak humans tend to be, how foolish they can act, how simple and petty their fears are. He remembers a long walk in the night, a path that wound slowly unlit except by the uncertain glimmer of evenly spaced lamp posts. There was a car. The squeal of rapid acceleration. Distant popping noises like fireworks. Pain, pain, and with the pain a hole of red, a haze of black that consumed his living memories. What followed after was yet still a blur. He continued to wander that road, but he no longer knew where he was going, no longer knew why the walk mattered, just that the walk was what was there. It was all there was in his world, that road, those lights, until something else wandered in. A white face, a strange, horrifying white face. Tenmei remembers little else of what came before. His existence, though, it makes sense to him. To feed, to live, to grow, grow as something more than human, grow in the shadows where no one else sees. For the moment he is pleased with his dark corners, his shadows, but something in him makes him desire for more. More what he is uncertain, but he holds no doubt he will find it. Role Play Sample: Tenmei stood quietly in the corner, breathing slowly. Today's plans had suffered from a most inconvenient interruption. He had watched his target for some time. A young man, spiritually unaware but he had a spark of potential. He was a miscreant, a loner. The sort who did not always go home at night, the sort whose parents worried about him at the same time as cursing his wandering ways. He would have been a good target, a perfect meal, his absence would not immediately have been noticed, which, with the increase in Hollow and Marshall activity of late, was becoming more and more valuable. Unfortunately, when he had finally found just the right location to swoop in, he noticed something else. A man standing idly on one of the nearby rooves, watching the surrounding streets. One of those Marshalls. He had had little choice, he had retreated back down the street, away from the over watching Marshall, but as he moved he could sense movement above. He cursed softly to himself, Tenmei knew not how powerful the man shadowing him was, nor even if the Marshall had recognized him for what he was. It would be foolish to confirm what he was if the Marshall did not know, but lingering was unwise if the watcher did identify him. He picked up his pace, turning a corner quickly to see if the Marshall would follow him. The man on the rooves above did, and he scowled to himself, running ahead now, seeing a taller building ahead, turning the corner rapidly, concealing himself from the Marshal's sight for a moment, and then he melted into the ground, appearing within a house nearby, standing in a dark corner, concealed from direct observation from the out side. He continued to breath slowly, hoping the other could not sense him where he stood. If the Marshall did, he would be forced to fight him, and that was fine, he supposed, he may be able to take the human's guardian, but he would be much more pleased if it did not come to that. And so in the darkness, he waited. Edited by Thaddeuds D Genhelm, Jul 15 2009, 01:51 AM.

After a cursory glance (I'm so sorry I've been gone, please excuse) Most things look alright except for the appearance. While we may be a different part of the world, this is still bleach, so the only humanoid hollow are vasto lorde. Please monstrify the appearance, or take some other steps make this character a non-humanoid hollow. |

Hrm, fair enough... Though I have a few things to ask then. What is, functionally, 'non humanoind?' I mean, already his form is quite a bit more than human due to its expansion, though that part is difficult to see/observe. Would you prefer he be more in the 'extended arms and claws' range, or is it more a size problem? Also... Almost any of these changes makes my writing sample semi-non-functional anymore. Will I need to re-write it? |

Alright, I could see it being a grand fisher style hollow, but you've got to give him a monstrous characteristic or two. The long arms and claws works nicely, But feel free to do your own. EDIT: You can keep the writing sample. It is after all, only a reflection of how well you can write. Edited by GasPump, Jul 14 2009, 09:11 PM.

Edited to make his arms less human, please review and see if it suffices. |
