I met a girl with a really pensive look. I walk up to her, put a fifty cent coin in her hand, "For your thoughts. I know the going rate is supposed to be one, but I figure you play hardball."
She gave it back, "Keep it. Pretty sure a guy with your charm can find a way to have them for free anyway."

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
I find it amusingly likely, with an international Soul Society in this iteration (although the cast and infrastructure sure don't portray as much) that Kishi is from Glasgow.
In other news, I'll post Quidel's modified sheet once his transformation is underway.
Also, question for Dorizzit, for clarification; at this point, is the scene with Jehoel and Koutarou stalled, or are you doing things in PMs for secrets?My Homebrew

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
And now, for a character update.
Chouko: Doing SCIENCE, will be offscreen for a bit.
Katsuo: Waiting on Hasunaga to arrive; but also Frozen to describe the state of the ZH troops.
Misaki and Yoshiro: Offscreen until I make another TL;DR post, or we move along in the plot against Yui Moto.
Momoka: Recovering. Up for any visitors.
Felicia: Fuming.
Vanessa: Offscreen until the King needs her.
Quidel: Undergoing the transformation process. Dorizzit, care to clarify on certain aspects of the procedure?
Kishi (minor character): Awaiting interrogation attempt.
With that out of the way, might I request/suggest a time skip of a few days, up to a week, once the hanging plots are dealt with?
Also, community opinion: I actually realized at one point the Moto matriarch was actually named Satomi (via Misaki's first post), not Yui. Not sure if Zarah came back in to change it, or if I just somehow mixed Ota Yui. Opinions re: either a retcon to Satomi, or leave it as Yui?Last edited by strawberryman; 2014-09-30 at 02:50 PM.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
...I suppose the registry post actually covers most of my questions, derp.
However, it's worth asking if there are different protocols between Adjuchas class and Vasto Lorde class, with regards to how long the transformation process is set for, since it's up to the caster. Would they err on the safe side, and make Quidel's transformation go for the full week, or expedite it to more swiftly fill the hole in the Espada ranks?
Quidel is definitely not near Jehoel's or Turiel's strength, and likely on the lower end of VL. Basically, in the chaos caused by those extraplanar meteors outside the walls of Las Noches, as an adjuchas he went on an opportunistic feeding frenzy. So pretty much just a matter of being at the Right Place, at the Right Time.Last edited by strawberryman; 2014-09-30 at 03:30 PM.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
Quidel has just claimed an Espada position, yes? He would basically have free reign over how long his transformation lasted; the technicians would allow him to choose, after explaining the costs and benefits associated with each option. At low Vasto Lorde level, Quidel would only need a few hours before he could be 100% safely released. Standard procedure dictates no less than 24 hours for even the strongest Hollows, but the decision ultimately falls to Quidel.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
Solution: Make Yui her middle name and the one she more commonly goes by!
Let's see...
Masaru: Waiting on meeting with Setsurou. I'm going to let the bith with Kishi wrap before pushing that.
Turiel: Escorting Quidel and then watching over the process for at least a while.
Thomas: Sorcerous shenanigans with the Cult somewhere.
Chuck: Fighting ZH folks. Kind of waiting on Frozen's reply here.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
Lessee.
Koutarou: Probably reached to fiddle with his Reiphone while Jehoel leaves him steaming in the ether about Haven.
Setsurou: About to go interrogate Kishi-tan. <3
Hasunaga: Actually waiting for Frozen's reply too. Since his arrival wouldn't be instant.
Shinji: Unconsciousē. Waiting for the ZH folks to get dead so as to produce MOAR DORAMA.
Ryouma: WalkingOn Sunshinetowards the center of the bigass crater. ...shouldn't someone in Soul Society have given either or both Chouko and Hideki a "RED ALERT!" style report about that, by the way?
EDIT: I am also feeling inspired towards making an Espada, for whatever reason, after getting started on watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
And also because I feel we don't really have an actually EEEEEEEEVIL Espada at all and that feels like a bit of an oversight.Last edited by Kuroimaken; 2014-09-30 at 07:02 PM.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
Edit: More activity in Las Noches is a good thing. Also yes, officially just going back to Satomi Moto, so. CONSIDER IT DONE.
Should probably wait on Frozen to give a bit more information. And now, revising Quidel's sheet. Just made a few changes to reflect his position.
Quidel Alamilla, Aspect of Quetzalcoatl
SpoilerAge: Somewhere around 700 years old, looks 20-30
Gender: Male
Height: 72in/182.8cm
Weight: 162lbs/73.4kg
Station: Tercera Espada
Reiatsu: Like the warmth of the sun, uplifting or terrible in aspect
Aspect: The Sun
Hollow Hole: The middle of his torso, just above his abdomen.
Speech: #CC6600
Description:
SpoilerQuidel is a semi-tall fit male with dark skin; his hair is naturally grayish-white and feathery in texture, his eyes a darker shade of gray. His mask fragment is a plate just above his forehead, with a pair of holes through it, the remnants of his uppermost pair of eyes as a Vasto Lorde. He usually sports some manner of necklace made of beads, bones, and feathers around his neck, and occasionally headdresses of various styles, and is prone to walk around shirtless. His face and body are commonly painted with tribal markings. He is also quite fond of gold.
Personality:
SpoilerQuidel is a distant individual, but also very proud, and fierce when brought to anger. He is not against helping his fellow arrancar, after all his powers are well suited to it. But those who insult him are more likely to face his ire. He is as the sun; a provider, a nurturer one moment, and a scorching brilliance the next.
History:
SpoilerQuidel, though he went by a different name he does not recall, was a farmer during the Aztec era of Mexico. A part of the lower class, he was expected to provide grain for many, nearly a slave in his debts. One year, when it came to providing food for his family, a great drought and the furious rays of the sun insured his and his family's starvation. As a hollow, he ate his family's souls, and terrorized the afterlife of the region, eventually growing in power and becoming a inspiration for the god Quetzalcoatl, due to his strange serpentine nature. He eventually migrated to Hueco Mundo as all hollows do, and along the years evolved into an adjuchas, a great being with dozens of 'serpent' heads, scales of rainbow hue, and a body made of the strange folding of multiple wings.
Eventually, after centuries of hunting, however, a chaotic event brought him to take advantage of his fellow hollows' confusion; in the wake of crashing rocks from the depths of Izanami's gullet, he went on a feeding frenzy, amassing a large amount of power in a short time, enough to become a Vasto Lorde (if an unstable one). From there, he walked on to the great city of Las Noches...
Story So Far:
SpoilerI don't use these.
Abilities:
SpoilerAs an awakened Vasto Lorde (admittedly, one who had yet to gain full control of his powers), Quidel's power is considerable. His hierro is middling in strength, but still able to weed out most foes. His bala hold respectable destructive power, but his Cero are truly powerful, a true testament to his right to the seat of Tercera Espada. The energy of his cero are also blindingly brilliant beyond that of a normal cero, leaving those who observe it temporarily without sight.
Touch of the Sun: With a touch, Quidel can use his own reiatsu to restore another's, sharing a similarity to Kaido, however Quidel's touch is much more efficient and also assists regenerative ability. With the same touch, however, he can also forcibly extract reiatsu to sustain himself, causing wounds to spontaneously erupt on the contact point, and over time spreading to the rest of the body. The touch is not limited to spiritual beings, drastically accelerating the growth of plants, or drying them out, withering them away. Any such effect that could be caused by the sun's power can be emulated.
Zanpaktou: Serpiente del Sol (Sun Serpent)
SpoilerSerpiente del Sol is a short blade reminiscent of a greek xiphos seemingly made of rough gold material, with a primitive handle and somewhat dulled blade that make it a poorer weapon than Quidel's mere touch.
Resurreccion: Glow
SpoilerQuidel's skin turns to a rainbow hue in places as he is covered in iron-hard scales, his hierro boosted in these locations, able to hold off non-Captains in strength. However, if he wills it, he can cover his entire body in the scales. His hands and toes twist into predatory shape and end in sharp talons, easily implemented for offense. Tufts of feathers, brilliant in aspect but ultimately cosmetic, stick out in certain places from under the scales. A helmet much like a stylized falcon rests on his head, part leather, with a feather headdress on the back, and a metallic beak.
Aspect of Sun: The most fantastic aspect, however, is a semi-illusory orb, sunlike in aspect, that follows closely behind him. The orb grows as Quidel uses its power to steal reiatsu, and shrinks as he uses it to restore reiatsu.
- Ray of Health: Much like Quidel's healing touch, this ray, a spotlight-like glow from the orb, restores reiatsu and heals wounds.
- Ray of Wrath: Much like his harming touch, this ray steals reiatsu and causes spontaneous wounds as it is quite literally torn away.
Quidel can direct as many rays as he needs and can focus on, and the versatile nature of his touch can also be levied for extra utility (growing plants, etc.). As a last ditch resort, he can direct the sun orb directly to a location, and expel all of the stored reiatsu inside, either providing the effects of a ray of health en masse, or creating a massive explosion.Last edited by strawberryman; 2014-09-30 at 08:54 PM.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
Was hoping Mahonri would post before me. Oh well, have to keep things moving.
On a sidenote, isn't Katsuo rather horribly wounded? Even with Hasunaga in tow, going back to the area is not the smartest idea to do."It's the fate of all things under the sky,

He is, but spending time convincing him to stick around is not a terribly smart idea either. Worse comes to worse he can drag one of those two out of there.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
As at least one person has been wondering why the floating landmass is doing what it's doing (=sinking), here's a short explanation:
Imagine a nail, or whatever other object that's heavier than water, kept afloat by surface tension of water. Then, a gust of wind makes ripples in the water, breaking the surface tension of water and causing the nail (etc.) to sink.
Most other questions about the explosion can be answered by reading up on the actual Tunguska Event, as I mostly aped the description from existing eyewitness records."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

Hm. I think I'm stuck waiting everywhere.
Masaru: Kind of in limbo until Setsurou's current scene plays out. Not much else beyond meeting with him to do, though.
Turiel: Leveling the Tercera District.
Thomas: Inactive.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
She's kinda bordering on 'too stubborn to live'.
...frankly, I'm tempted to have Setsurou just forge her signature and get it over with. Because he never intended to execute her in the first place.
And here I am thinking there's excellent reason to be concerned that Azuma Koutetsu is paying a visit to Internal Security. It's a good thing its HQ and holding facilities are not remotely in the same building.
Because, you know, that would be stupid.The Void, the Cold Steel, the Just Sword courtesy of Prime32.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
Yeah, I find it a little hard to believe. It's kind of completely ignoring a minimum of one family's complaints. She did damage to buildings, injured many (possibly even killed), and nearly killed a noble in just this instance.
I ultimately am flexible how things wind up, however.Last edited by strawberryman; 2014-10-07 at 11:02 PM.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
Based on what, exactly?
Seireitei DOES have a convict alternative punishment program. A considerable amount of said damage to property was inflicted by the lady of the house herself during her defense. It's actually arguable that she caused a lot more damage than Kishi did with her raining acid crap, which she refused to cancel based on "tee-hee, I can't!" which was as flimsy an excuse as it gets (and actually endangered agents of the Gotei in the process).
Meanwhile, on Kishi's side, there were a bunch of dead, lots of injured and the rest got captured.The Void, the Cold Steel, the Just Sword courtesy of Prime32.

Re: [BitPRē] OOCVI: We have a space base now!
I'd be willing to see Setsurou try his tricks just to see exactly how far they can fly.
For the record, Kishi could get her slate cleaned by enrolling in the Shinoreijutsuin, but keeping said slate clean would require at least some willing co-operation from her part. If she continues to be this stubborn, she'd just trade a spot at the execution platform for a one-way ticket to Maggots' Nest."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."
