"Ooh! Eri! You should wear that to school on Monday! Just think of the scandal!"

Pssst. Purple. How's your brain. We need you in the SS thread >.>

[KnightDisciple]

Well you guys wanted to see the character I was proposing, here she is. however she's...not done yet. And I need suggestions on how to balance her unique form of regeneration.

Aspect of Death: Lethargy

Auset, for lack of a better way to say it, does not wear much. A dozen bandages, at best, of varying size and width are all that keep her from being a streaker but they are kept in good condition and are unlikely to break under attack. She's also quite tall, looming over other arrancar most of the time and possesses a curvy, but muscular physique. There's not a doubt in anyone's mind that she's strong. Sandy blond hair is pulled back out of her face into a long pony-tail that hangs to mid-back, her bangs freely hanging in front of her eyes. Auset possesses a darker complexion then most inhabitants of Hueco Mundo, at odds with her lighter hair tone or white clothing, but not particularly jarring either.

Usually she can be seen with a lazy smirk on her face coupled with a look of cruel apathy at her surroundings and those in them. More importantly, there's just something...dead in her gaze.

Personality:

Spoiler

Show

Auset is at odds with the attitude that one might expect a former Espada to have, she's lethargic almost to the point of sloth and is so relaxed that most insults just roll off her. She doesn't care enough to be insulted half of the time, unfortunately this applies to other things as well to ensure she's a fair bit lazy actually. This apathetic attitude is a large contributor to why she's no longer counted among the Espada actually, though recently she's shown some signs of shaking off this attitude and has become more active as of late. Maybe she's begun to show her true self, but a vain individual who desires little more then privacy has begun to emerge more and more as of late.

Her attitude towards Arcelia is, however, a bit harder to peg down. On one hand she seems hurt at her former Fraccion's betrayal, but on the other she doesn't really hold it against her successor either. At times she's even taken offense to others insulting Arcelia while other times she's joined in with the jeering. Her attitude towards other arrancar is one of wary acceptance. She'll accept help but it's now much more difficult for someone to gain her trust. One things for sure though and that is that she enjoys ending a life, but not necessarily the fight leading to that ending.

Zanpakuto: Alma Herida

Spoiler

Show

Auset's zanpakuto takes the form of a massive khopesh that's almost as long as her own body. The blade looks to be made of bronze or some reddish steel, it's hilt made of black wood wrapped with a white bandage for grip. She handles the heavy blade with surprising ease, able to put it through incredieble acrobatics without overly straining herself in the process. Another peculiar fact is that vital part of her Resurreccion is actually able to seen when she is not in her released state. These parts are a series of six canopic jars that each sustains a large part of her lethal nature. Usually she carries these jars around with her in an ornate and sturdy chest (able to withstand the average cero of an adjuchas once or twice before breaking) or that's left somewhere safe if she's expecting dangerous combat. Each of these jars has a symbol on it denoting which one it is.

• Ib Jar: The most important of Auset's canopic jars, this is the source of her ungodly ability to recover from the damage thrown her way. As long as the Ib Jar is intact she can recover from any wound that doesn't completely destroy her body in a single attack. In such a situation it can take months before Auset has recovered, her body rebuilt next to the canopic jar. However there are limitations on this regeneration. For one, the more damage she takes in a short period of time the longer it takes her to heal. While a wound might close in seconds at the beginning of a fight, after a protracted battle it might takes hours (or even days). Two, once the Ib Jar is broken, Auset is capable of dying a 'true death' though she becomes much more cautious if this is the case and doesn't show the reckless abandon she normally does when attacking. All the opponent needs to do is 'kill' her one final time.
• Ka Jar: The Ka Jar is both a blessing and a curse. When the Ka Jar is destroyed Auset is forced into a much more decayed state, with more bandages covering her mummified form. In this 'decayed' form, Auset's physical abilities drop drastically while her reiatsu abilities become a little more potent. This is the only jar that Auset has, on occasion, broken herself in mid-combat.
• Ba Jar: When the Ba Jar is broken, Auset becomes...not Auset. She loses her unique abilities (but not the ones sustained by the other jars) and her hollow abilities become much less effective in combat. She, if it's possible, seems to become even more apathetic to the point her personality turns bland and unresponsive. Like a shell of her former self.
• Ren Jar: While the Ib Jar keeps Auset alive, she's more afraid about this jar being broken. The effect on her when this jar breaks is exactly the same as when an adjuchas devolves into a gillian. She becomes a mindless berserk beast, uncaring of her own injuries or her foes, consumed by the hunger for souls like any regular beast-like Hollow. There is no gain if this jar is broken aside from a complete disregard if she lives or dies.
• Sheut Jar: Another highly important jar, this is the one that repairs the others when they become cracked or outright broken. This process can take more then two weeks, depending on the jar, but without it Auset wouldn't be able to restore the containers for her powers and thus be considerably more 'mortal'.

Baile con el muerto, Alma Herida! (Dance with the dead, Wounded Soul!)

Upon release, Auset's body is actually covered in more bandages while also gaining numerous bracelets, armbands, necklaces, and other Pharoh-like trappings, including an elaborate golden headdress that obscures her face. In addition her body (what of it that can be seen) takes on the same look as sandstone or marble, cracking at the joints to allow her to move in much the same manner as before.

In her released form, Auset gains the ability to manipulate her bandages like arms, using them to latch hold of opponents and bind them tightly. Aside from this useful tidbit, there's a much more lethal purpose to her bandages. Whenever they touch someone, friend or foe, they begin to drain that person's reiryoku and reiatsu into Auset herself. This process is amazingly fast, but the stronger the victim is the more this draining slows down. It takes the look of the victim drying out into a shriveled up husk, but there's an alternate use for the bandages as well.

Once a bandage has absorbed enough reishi, Auset can throw it unto the ground where it'll shape-change into a shambling mummy-like creature that will attack Auset's enemies. Towards the low-end of seated officer strength (as in towards the twenties, not the single digits), they prove as handy distractions against an enemy of equal power but are a threat to those weaker then herself, especially if enough of them are created. She can also devour a reishi-rich bandage to try and speed up her regeneration or temporarily power up a bala or cero.

Segunda Etapa: Not achieved yet.

General Abilities:

Spoiler

Show

Strength: She's impressively strong for her level of ability, but isn't the physically strongest Privaron by a fair bit either.

Bala: Below average.

Cero: Below average.

Hierro: Non-existent. Unlike many arrancar who forfeited the regeneration of hollows for the legendary 'steel skin' of arrancar, Auset kept the ability to regenerate her wounds. In fact the strength of that regeneration grew to almost obscene levels.

Sonido: Below average.

Garganta: Capable of performing it.

Pesquisa: Excellent. It's extremely difficult to run and hide from Auset once she's on someone's trail.

Possible connections:

I know her regeneration is a bit...heavy so I tried to include some downsides to it as well. If anyone else has ideas on how to balance it out better though, I'll be happy to listen.

I'm more concerned about that reiatsu drain ability. What are the limits of it? How fast could it drain, say, an Unseated? Low Seated? Captain?

[Callos_DeTerran]

It depends on it is. I mean...shizuka has relatively low reiatsu for an unseated. Maybe twenty-five seconds for an unseated? It'd depend on the scene honestly. It's one of those abilities that serves the exact purposes of the plot because it's rather vague. It'd take a while to drain a captain though. We aren't talking the ridiculously fast drain rate of yumikicha if that's what you are worried about though.

Even a few seconds would be horrendously bad, though. I mean, she wouldn't have to do much to take her opponent from "even match" to "totally screwed".

But I suppose this will be passed on as one of those "plot-directed powers". I'm just not a fan of such things; I tend to prefer powers that aren't strongly "save or suck" type effects. *Shrugs*

[Shades of Gray]

Save or Sucks by definition have a definite save/suck boundary. Plot driven powers can be adapted, making it not so definite. Saying "All unseated last X and all captains last Y" makes the power boring.

Well you figure Privaron should be able to go two-to-two with a Vice-Captain. They won't win most of the time, but they can give a good showing for themselves and make their opponent really sweat. In my mind anyway. A unseated, the example I used, isn't really a threat to a Vice-Captain on their own, barring extreme circumstances.

So maybe the unseated was a bad example, but if it's too slow then it's essentially useless. If it's too fast then it's haxx. Just going to have to experiment and find the right balance.

Simple, we get Apolinar to do that thing where he puts black cardboard censorship bars over the naughty bits. That, and I highly doubt the male populace would have too much problem with the idea of trying to restrain them.

We start school in Spring, so it is a little different. I am not sure what to describe.

We go to school, and have ceremony. The principal and vice-principal gives speech and third year student president gives speech to new students. A student gives a small speech to the principal. We sing and brass band plays.

Maybe some movies:

Yes of about 6 minute sketch. I used to do it very much. However, such opportunity is uncommon in BleachITP Reborn OOC.

Maybe I just post in my art thread instead

Actually, I think it's perfectly fine for you to not use spoiler tags on the picture because leaving it as is makes it jump out at people more as they suddenly scroll down and see it. It adds dramatic effect which is nice since it's your character's visual response to something.

This logic doesn't really hold true for any of the other subsequent posts quoting it by others though. It's not a big deal to me either way. I do find it a little amusing that the person (you) who I think should feel least inclined to use tags apologizes for not doing so while 13_CBS flaunts it.

Also, nice pictures as usual. Your new avatar is adorable.

I'm back, everyone! Mwa ha ha.....I'm having the best time ever, surrounded by my camp buddies (mostly crazy Aussie or Mexican guys, oh well) and I've even gotten myself involved with a Significant Other!

I've got six days of change over where I'll have internet access before I'm off to co-head a 14-day canoe trip (eek!)

Anyways, I'll try and read over the IC threads, but just in case I get too muddled, a quick summary of what's happened/is happening would really be appreciated. It'd also be great to know what my characters are doing and where I should pick up on that. Thanks guys!

[nothingclever]

You largely haven't missed anything. The mortal world student party at Valeria's house only recently ended. It looks like the first day of mortal school will be starting really soon.

The arena event has almost literally started so you could have Katarina show up if you'd like just in time to see the beginning of the actual fighting. All that's left is for someone to say "FIGHT!" and the action can commence.

I don't really know about the Soul Society stuff since I never check that thread.
