BleachITP Reborn: Discussion & Setup Thread 5

[Frozen_Feet]

That's half of her story? It's longer than several character bios I've written.

[Krazddndfreek]

But assume they spend 1 day a week training themselves in physical combat of some sort, if they do so at all.

I just wanted to quickly dispel any notions that this is true. At least the part about training for only one day a week. If you train for one day a week, you won't improve. You might even get weaker if that's any less than your usual regiment. There's a reason why athletes have conditioning or practice every day, and you see monks get up at 5 AM every morning in movies. Skipping a day or two a week is hell to make up, because your body is already not used to the exercise.

[Steilos]

Edited my character to adress the minor critizism it got, and reg'd.
...My god, 6 new pages.

[Frozen_Feet]

Stellos, where is your character '^_^

It would be helpful if you at least provided a link to the bio.

[Free Hand]

I've had time to think up several character ideas. Now before I tramp through the efforts of transferring them from my brain and into my monitor, I thought it best to sell them here first.

A salaryman whos a living Shinigami. I thought an interesting point would be that one of his parents or ancestors is an active character in the soul society, maybe even a person that appears younger then himself.

A delinquent with magical girl powers, you know cuz this rp needs something ridiculously out of place and irrelevant just like in the real thing!

An Espada made from the souls of abandoned orphans. I have this idea that it's true power can only be channelled through other hollow beings.

This one.

No, this one.

There is one already. (Iwamori Higure) Though there's enough desing space for another.

There pretty much is one already, too. (Michiko Inagawa-Kai)

An Espada made from the souls of abandoned orphans. I have this idea that it's true power can only be channelled through other hollow beings.

This.... hmmm. Aspect of Death: Abandonment? Yeah, go ahead.

[nothingclever]

An Espada made from the souls of abandoned orphans. I have this idea that it's true power can only be channelled through other hollow beings.

I have an urge to play a Mr. T lookalike that allows the souls your Espada is made of to pass on peacefully by supplying ample milk to the orphanage they were last in and building a community center next to it.

[KnightDisciple]

Though do remember the general rule on how the Hollow Life Cycle works, Free Hand.

Also, I object to "magical girl" because it either ends up copying Michiko and/or Sayaka....or ends up like Nanoha, which is a bit too varied and powerful, all things considered.

[horngeek]

She 'befriends' Hollows!

Funny thing about Nanoha is that she actually likes having powers.

[Prime32]

If you do it, make her a genki fangirl. Or have her only act like that in magical girl form, so that it would ruin her reputation if anyone discovered who she was.

[Frozen_Feet]

Just for note, I was objecting to Delinquent part. There's enough room for the whole Sailor Senshi, we just can't have similar background for each one.

[strawberryman]

Anyhow. Character #8 (I'm leaving Nero in the dark until later) basic concept.

Talon Gunvhald, Privaron Espada 104

Spoiler

Show

Age: 223

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 114

Reiatsu(Speaking Color)/Cero: Indigo/Transparent

Aspect of Death: Vengeance

Appearance:

Spoiler

Show

Spoiler

Show

Talon looks like a teenage girl in most facets of her appearance. Her skin is almost preternaturally tan most of the time, and her body is slim. Her assets are average. Her hair, a silvery-gossamer color, is worn long and slightly messy, covering the right half of her face. Her eyes are yellow and slightly reptilian in nature with slitted pupils.
Talon's choice of dress usually tends to flaunt her body, despite the fact that she's fairly average.
Talon's mask fragment is part of a draconic-looking maw on the right side of her face.

Personality:

Spoiler

Show

Talon is, at best, a complete bitch. And at worst a heartless, malicious monster. She only thinks of herself, and occasionally passes her time with sadistic torture of those below her. She holds herself as superior to everyone, despite her fall from being an Espada. While she will rarely, if ever, do anything that she can be held accountable for, sometimes her sense for revenge can override her judgment. As her aspect suggests, she is first and foremost a being of retribution, so wronging her will usually incite some sort of plot for revenge.

History:

Spoiler

Show

Talon was obviously the former Cuarta Espada. How she lost her position is something she rarely discusses, and usually holds it as something that doesn't put her at blame; political plots, etc.

Zanpaktou: Dragão da Ventania (Gale Dragon)

Spoiler

Show

Sealed Form:

Spoiler

Show

Dragão da Ventania takes the form of a long tachi with a decorative dragon hilt. The sheathe she uses is black, with purple trim.

Resurreccion: "Cut the Sky, Dragão da Ventania."

Spoiler

Show

When released, Dragão da Ventania dissolves, and Talon grows horns, a pair of wings, and a tail, all with a scaly, purple texture. The hierro on these new appendages are considerably tougher than her skin, adding some defensive options in being able to block most opponent's attacks. Naturally, given the wings, Talon is able to fly, gaining altitude even in the presence of sekiseki.

Blood Wind: Talon can control "wind" with her hands, sending gales of forceful energy that cut as effectively as a blade at range. Occasionally, one may notice that the attacks look like transparent disembodied claws.

Forceful Breath: Talon can also expel a wave of forceful "wind" that lethally bludgeons and pushes back anything caught in the area.

Segunda Etapa: Not yet achieved.

Spoiler

Show

In Segunda Etapa, Talon's entire body is covered by draconic "armor"... however, the appearance is hardly apparent, as in this form, Talon forces light to bend around her, making her effectively invisible, a transparent mass. Only when she stands still or is close in can a foe begin to see her, and it doesn't make her ability to move any more quiet.

Battle Stats:

Spoiler

Show

Physical Strength: 60 (Talon possesses a fair amount of physical strength as an arrancar.)
Offense: 60 (Being a former Espada, Talon is fairly skilled in using her techniques in an offensive manner.)
Defense: 40 (Talon's hierro and dodging ability is fairly average.)
Mobility: 70 (Being able to fly in her ressurreccion, and a fairly skilled practitioner of sonido, Talon's mobility is certainly her most impressive aspect.)
Intelligence: 60 (Talon isn't a battle genius, but she can usually think her way out of a tough spot.)
Cero/Reiatsu: 40 (Talon's reiatsu and cero power are just below average.)

Possible Connections:

Spoiler

Show

• Other Privaron
• Alejandro?
• Other?

I have some plot ideas I'd discuss with Edge on being the former 4th Espada. Since I found as I went on there were a few parallels.

[KnightDisciple]

I suppose if it were more like the "Sailor Senshi" type powerset, that wouldn't be too bad.

Just that my first thought with "Magical Girl" was the White Devil. <_<

[Draken]

An Espada made from the souls of abandoned orphans. I have this idea that it's true power can only be channelled through other hollow beings.

Alejandro was that (the orphans part) in the current game. Not sure if he will stay that.

---

Speaking of Espada, what happened to Edward Callahan?

[Edge]

Aléjandro was not specifically orphans, just children. He probably won't keep that aspect in Reborn.

And Berry, sling those plot points my way. I'll be up most of tonight keeping an eye on the general election over here in Britain.

[nothingclever]

Just for note, I was objecting to Delinquent part. There's enough room for the whole Sailor Senshi, we just can't have similar background for each one.

Well maybe Callos won't mind if the characters end up being friends at the start of the story. Michiko could be the one that started this character on the path of delinquency. It'd give her another person to use in the delinquent plot Callos wanted to do. Of course yeah, we need his opinion.

Speaking of Espada, what happened to Edward Callahan?

I've dropped the idea at least for now since I wasn't feeling too enthused by it but I might do another entry with a similar concept.

No, this one.

I wonder if he'll use Puni Puni Poemi or Magical Witch Punie-chan as inspiration. trollface.jpg

[Frozen_Feet]

Well, yeah, if it is okay with Callos, a posse of magical Yakuza chicks would be funny.

Too bad on Callahan. He was an amusing character.

EDIT: Also, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon is the one and only magical girl show. There's no need for any others.

[nothingclever]

Maybe I'll reinstate him as a candidate. If other people would like to have their characters interact with him then sure.

[Frozen_Feet]

*Jumps on Hachirou's head*

"Yes! Bring him back!"

"Hey!"

STARLIGHT BREAKER!

[Frozen_Feet]

You know, I watched the whole show twice when I was 10. With German dubs. I didn't understand a damn thing, but kept watching because I thought it was awesome!

... maybe the fact that it had a lot of pretty girls had something to do with it. Maybe.

[Prime32]

I wonder if he'll use Puni Puni Poemi or Magical Witch Punie-chan as inspiration. trollface.jpg

I have heard terrifying things about the first, and I assume the second is just as bad.

...
STARLIGHT BREAKER!

You forgot to say Zenryoku zenkai! first. (or if you prefer, "I summon the light of destruction down upon my prisoners. Stars, gather, and become the light which pierces everything. Tear through everything in a blaze of light.")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuYa9pV7l5w

Can't we just exclude Nanoha from the category? It's not like anyone could call Negima a harem comedy with a straight face.

[horngeek]

Good point.

[strawberryman]

Any comments/concerns on Talon?

[nothingclever]

Pffffft. Catchphrases are pointless if you don't first have a theme song.

*Jumps on Hachirou's head*

"Yes! Bring him back!"

Which character is this supposed to be?

[Moon Wolf]

Any comments/concerns on Talon?

Yeah, I have one.

Nice bikini wax!

[Frozen_Feet]

Which character is this supposed to be?

"Edward, you dolt!"

Edit: misinterpreted your question: the one talking is Jin, Hachirou's sword spirit.

Tark Winald, Privaron Espada

Spoiler

Show

Age: 456
Height: 7’0
Weight: 247 lb.
Speech/Reiatsu/Cero color: Sierra
Aspect of Death: BEAR!!!
Mask Fragment: His mask is stylized Bear Head. It sits atop his head.
Hollow Hole: Despite what most people believe, Tark’s Hollow Hole is not in his head, where his Brain should be. It sits on the left side of his body, where his Kidney should be.

Physical Description:

Spoiler

Show

A huge man, Tark has blonde hair, though that can be difficult to see. His arms and legs are massive affairs, corded with muscle and sinew. He doesn’t wear much clothing, a furry cape, loin cloth, and boots being all that he keeps around. He doesn’t see any reason to wear anything else. He views himself as an example of perfection, and sees little reason to hide it.

Personality:

Spoiler

Show

Tark is a simple man. He knows what he wants. He doesn’t really know how to go about getting it, but he does his best. Tark believes any problem can be solved with an Axe, and enough force. If one chop doesn’t work, a couple more will. He believes the reason this theory hasn’t proved as correct as he might have hoped is that he isn’t strong enough. However, the big man is extremely capable in the one area he can be trusted to deal with, rampaging with ferocity through the enemy. Despite his many failings, this, more then anything keeps him useful to Von Geister.

Powers:

Spoiler

Show

Tark is extremely powerful, especially for a Privarion. Unfortunately, he’s a moron, who has little to not concept of tactics, strategy, or defense.

Cero: Nothing special. He fires them from the Bear Mask. He dislikes using them. His Axe, or his hands are his techniques of choice.

Bala: Again, nothing incredible. Again, he fires them from the Bear Mask. He dislikes using them. His Axe, or his hands are his techniques of choice.

Hierro: Tark’s sole defense. It is enough to keep him going though. The Warrior can shrug off blows that would slay many.

Garganta: Nothing special here. He can use it, and does, if he has reason to.

Sonido: Actually, he is surprisingly skilled with this technique. Which is to say, he possesses any skill at all. He uses it to charge things with his Axe. He can’t turn, and he can’t do any tricks with it. But can move fast/

Zanpakutou: Hibernação (Hibernation)

Spoiler

Show

Sealed Form:

Spoiler

Show

A massive Battleaxe, made of White Bone, looking much the same as the Hollow Mask. Despite this appearance, the Weapon is as weighty as it should be, striking with immense force.

Resurrección:
"Desperte de Hibernação"

Spoiler

Show

When released, Tark transforms in a Half man, half bear, his head entire replaced by a Bear’s. Where fur should be, instead he has bone, stylized into the appearance of Fur. His Axe is gone in this form, replaced with the cruel claws at the end of his hands. He is even stronger then before in this form, and his Hierro grows in Power. He fires Bala and Cero from his Mouth

Rending Claws: His Claws are amazing sharp in this form, ripping through most armor, and piercing most Hierro. They will damage even Zanpaktou in this form. The best, and perhaps only defense

Pinning Charge: In this form, a single mistake against Tark can be fatal. After being hit by a charge, his opponents discover that his Claws have an additional effect. Even after he withdraws them, the enemy will find it impossible to move. If they manage to force themselves to, they will find their movements slowed, dragging them down. The only way to get rid of the effect is to reach inside the wound, and rip out the claws Tark leaves behind.

Segunda Etapa: Hasn’t been achieved yet

Spoiler

Show

Tark will complete the transformation into a Bear, becoming a massive specimen of the Beast. In this form, mostly his abilities will just increase. The only other real change will be him gaining the additional attack of his Maw.

I haven't given him a background yet. Anybody want to be the one who beat him? Anybody with the slightest bit of wit could probably beat him, especially one on one.
