Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
You could look to canon bodysnatcher, Metastacia, for inspiration. You know, the one that killed Kaien Shiba. It also could posses a host, and turned a host more hollowish by time by eating them from the inside. When it left an old host, the hollowed body crumbled to dust.
What's more, Metastacia wasn't even a Menos, and hinted that possession of mortals is a faily standard Hollow ability. As such, I think your character would be just fine as a "traditional" Hollow."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
Arrancarhood is not defined by the presence or absense of the mask either. But by a generally human appearance.
The mask "fragment" can be anything ranging from a spec of white dust glued to a random body part to a fully closed helmet (see, the canon Exequias).

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
Here it is, first draft of him.
Aníbal Arriola, Arrancar Anomaly
SpoilerName: Aníbal Arriola
Gender: Male
Age: Brand-new as an Arrancar; was a Living Vizard as a mortal.
Height: Varies
Weight: Varies
Reiatsu: Purple
Eyes: Varies
Hair: Varies
Aspect of Death: Terror
Appearance: Aníbal takes the form of a plain, jagged Hollow mask detailed in black; it seems to form perfectly to any holder's face, and will remain in place with no effort on their part. The mask is the entirety of Aníbal's being currently.
Spoiler
Personality: Aníbal is malicious, spiteful, vicious, and lives to survive long enough to one day consume every soul in both worlds. He sees almost everyone else as means to that end, though he will show them respect when necessary in the interest of self-preservation. He treats his hosts as well as he can, though, like a craftsman maintains his tools. Aníbal is very proud of his stealth ability, and enjoys the far-too-rare moments when he's able to offer just the right piece of information to make a system collapse.
General Abilities:Spoiler
With Host:SpoilerBala: Below average strength, but above-average firing speed. Aníbal can release hails of Bala that, while damaging, are usually better as a distractionary measure.
Cero: Aníbal's Cero are of average strength but an exceptionally wide arc (up to a full 90 degrees), though they take longer to charge than most.
Hierro: Average. It'll soften blows, but he'll still feel them.
Sonido: Above average. Aníbal can move fast enough to leave as many as three afterimages for one or two seconds.
Garganta: Below average. Aníbal has very little skill in moving between worlds and is rarely more accurate than what square mile area he wants to end up in.
Always Available:SpoilerPesquisa: Excellent. Aníbal has an extremely refined Pesquisa that can pinpoint sources of spiritual energy within a large radius. When in spiritually-rich areas, his Pesquisa can sometimes substitute for sight.
Voz Que Obliga (Compelling Voice): Aníbal has minor powers of suggestion, transmitted telepathically and wordlessly when not possessing a host. He can't flat-out give people orders and force them to obey, but he can give suggestions that, over time, sound mighty tempting... the less spiritual pressure the listener has, the more effective his suggestions.
Enmascare el Alma (Mask the Soul): When a being puts on Aníbal's mask, he can attempt to seize control of them and trap the unfortunate host as an observer in their own body. Possession is easier the less spiritual power a potential host has, though a difference can be counteracted if the host is wounded or exhausted. Once in control, Aníbal is difficult to dislodge. Victims significantly less powerful than Aníbal have almost no hope of expelling him without the help of another, and even then it's not easy. Victims of roughly equal strength can, with effort and when Aníbal has exerted himself, reclaim control of themselves for short periods of time, possibly eventually ejecting him from their body. Stronger hosts can regain control more frequently and can probably expel him on their own, given enough time. While in possession of a host, Aníbal can rummage through their memories. This is a slow process and highly distracting to him, giving his host an increased chance to regain control for a time. If his mask is broken while Aníbal has a host, the host regains control for the several days it takes a new mask to form; if he is expelled while still reforming his mask, Aníbal takes the form of a broken mask that slowly repairs itself over time.
Spiritual Camouflage: Aníbal is capable of disguising his reiatsu, rendering himself virtually undetectable to Pesquisa or other methods of sensing spiritual power. When in possession of a host, he can even dematerialize his mask for long periods of time, though this is tiring. This camouflage is not active when he uses any of his Hollow powers.
Zanpakuto: Cadáver de la Pesadilla (Corpse of the Nightmare)
SpoilerSealed form: A plain steel-bladed katana with its grip wrapped in black shark skin. Its guard is a triangle with one point in the direction of the blade's edge and shines with deep purple-greys in the light.
Resurrección: "Recuerde, Cadáver de la Pesadilla!" (Remember, Corpse of the Nightmare!)SpoilerSpoiler
When released, Cadáver de la Pesadilla darkens into writhing shadows that unravel and slither into Aníbal's arms, spreading darkness over him that then restores his Hollow form. The shadows comprising its body writhe with the vague forms and faces of the hosts he's taken. As usual for Arrancar, Aníbal's basic abilities all improve in his released form. However, due to his unusual state, Aníbal can maintain Resurrección for only a short time, after which he consumes the soul of his host to replenish himself, rendering the host worthless. After his release ends, Aníbal's host can still shuffle around similarly to a zombie for about an hour, after which it collapses dead and he is forced back into his mask alone to try snaring a new body.
Specific Abilities:SpoilerEl Bosque Más Allá de la Ciudad (The Wood Beyond the City): If he's willing to cut his release time in half, Aníbal's surroundings fade out to be replaced by a massive dome of reiatsu containing a dense, forbidding nighttime forest straight out of a horror movie, complete with very little moonlight. The Hollow reiatsu composing the forest interferes with the ability of those within to sense spiritual pressure, making it more difficult to keep track of Aníbal himself, and the landscape will passively hinder enemies within it (roots are at just the right height to trip, vines hang and entangle, etc). The other downside beyond reduced time released, however, is that such a large mass of reiatsu is blindingly obvious to anyone sensitive outside the dome and more or less forms a giant neon sign saying "HOLLOW HERE! RIGHT HERE!" On the other hand, such a mass of reiatsu nearby can help disguise other presences...
Lobos en el Bosque (Wolves in the Woods):Spoiler
Aníbal can create up to five shadowy, largely-amorphous "hounds" out of the darkness of his own body that proceed to act independently to pursue and harass his foes. The hounds are not particularly durable, nor are their teeth and claws actually very damaging. However, wounds inflicted by the Wolves feel far more severe than they actually are.
Encarcelamiento (Imprisonment): After charging time on par with a Cero, Aníbal's outstretched hand fires four arcing bolts that curve towards the target from multiple directions, making dodging them all a difficult prospect. Each bolt that strikes increases the effect of the attack. One bolt slows the target. Two bolts slow the target greatly and renders them unable to use Sonido, Hirenkyaku, Shunpo, or similar fast-movement abilities for a short time. Three bolts pin the target to the nearest solid object but leave them capable of some movement, similarly to Bakudo 30: Beak-Piercing Triple Beam. All four bolts utterly paralyze the target for a short time. Each of these effects is cumulative.
Segunda Etapa: None yet, and it'd be a long ways off.
If you're in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
Sorry for being an insistent nitpick, but I still think he'd be better fluffed as an "ordinary" Hollow. XD Other than that, I don't have any objections. There's another Hollow with aspect of Fear (Cecilia, Sexta Espada), but besides that there is no overlap between the characters, so I think it should be fine.
If you decide to keep him an Arrancar, then one question rises: where does his sword come from when he possesses a person? Obviously he can't be carrying it with himself. And what happens to the blade if he's separated from it and turned back to a mask?"It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

I have a feeling Reiji could easily get tangled to either, or both, of Michiko's plot (Yakuza connections!), or Henry / Aki / Yui case, depending on how you'd feel about it. And whether something unexpected brings the two plots together. Muhaha!

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
Michiko's plot is pretty simple: Michiko wants to know more of othr people like her. She's a Yakuza princess. Kidnapping or few might follow. It prolly ends with Michiko becoming a nicer person and befriending the other students.
Since Reiji has vested interest in throwing a wrench at Yakuza's plans, there's a ton of potential reasons why he might get involved on some level. He might spot a group of child medium and get interested, or someone (like Kaito's parents?) might hire him for legal defense someone else (Michiko? Michiko's dad??).
It's something you could brainstorm about with Callos. Reiji probably wouldn't be a "major" character in the plot, but it would serve to get him involved. ^_^"It's the fate of all things under the sky,

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
District attorneys in Japan serve a very unique position in that they can make or break a case all by themselves. Ideally, a district attorney will not so much as mount a case if he/she finds there's not enough evidence to support it (in this regard they're not very different from prosecution in other countries) or if he/she doesn't believe in the defendant's guilt. As a general rule, when it comes to the criminal process in Japan, the defendant is usually better off pleading guilty and hoping for a lighter sentence (interesting fact: the prosecuting phase and the sentencing phase are carried out separately in Japan. In both, the prosecutor and the defense attorney argue).
However, I'm not sure if district attorneys can serve as defense attorneys in Japan. (Most of the time, they'd simply not want to.)

Is there a way for Zanpakuto spirits to interact with each other, per chance? Because I can see some interesting things happening with that.
Also, way back with the proposition of new powers on my end, sorry I haven't replied to them. I've been on cruise control lately, haven't really been thinking. I'll reply soon.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
I'm fairly certain we've said they generally can't. Manifestation is an intensive, personal experience which is only achieved when one is ready for Bankai. Far as I know, that's the only way for them to interact, and it just doesn't seem likely.
The only other way would be for them to somehow enter the Inner World of someone else, but....I'd rather that not be possible, barring a very specific power that was intensely scrutinized.
And I would really, really, really, really rather not see a Muramasa expy in the game. Really.

Yeah. Part of the deal would be that Pico would have to essentially relearn this ability. So first, he would probably just get extra reiatsu and a boost to his cero and bala and stuff. Eventually, he'll come up with more and more applications for the reiatsu gained from this ability.
I like the idea that this could be an additional effect for Pico's Separate from the Herd ability, targeting a specific guy.

I figured he might spontaneously generate one to serve as a vessel. However, here's a refluffed version I rather like, even with Recuerdo obviously being a Resurreccion with the numbers filed off. Also changed his Aspect, think this one might fit better. And apologies about the assonance. I couldn't resist.

Hmmm. Come to think of it, Zanpakutou need not be physically manifested. Perhaps Soul Society could have the Bleach equivalent of a holodeck where Zanpakutou spirits could chill out and lounge about. Their users would not be allowed inside, and their spirit worlds would remain untouched, but keep in mind that in theory the only person the spirits can talk to is its owner's.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 12
...I'm not a fan of abandoning all pretense of internal logic, and established metaphysics and such, just for some vague idea of "plot".
I point to the above.
Zanpakutou spirits are symbiotic, semi-independent fragments of the souls of various Shingami. Having them manifest in a "holodeck", without any presence of their users, but also not accessing any Innner Worlds...
Not only does it feel cheap, it raises some serious questions.
Like, how are they being manifested there? What happens if their weilder needs to release shikai? Would someone with malicious intent be able to use this "holodeck" to kill sword spirits, or even rip them away from shinigami?
It's a proverbial mine field, is what it is.
Really, I'm going to have to request we don't go down roads like that. Interactions with Zanpakutou spirits should be limited to Shinigami and their own sword, plus maybe a situation like what Frozen described; that is, something rare. Even then, I'm iffy.

I like zanpakutou spirit more than Shinigami characters. But to separate the two destroys very important part of the characters.
What it is to be together, and share, and exist unity.
If they are separate, then it is only a story of separation and maybe nothing is learned about characters I think.
I don't like 'joke character' idea of zanpakutou and zanpakutou interaction very much.
Of serious idea, it was tried in last game with Overwilliam and I, and was very interesting and fun, but also tragedy.
If interest in zanpakutou spirit is to become large, maybe I will have to make such a spirit.
Maybe I mean that to think such an interaction could be interesting and a good plot. However, I do not agree with the ideas presented yet.Kasanip's Sketchbook 2 Thread

Not seeing any objections to Aníbal, so I'll add him to the registry if people are still fine with him tomorrow morning.
If you're in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
