Miraya [APPROVED, 3-2]

• Name: Miraya
• True Age: 458
• Appearance Age: 21
• Gender: Female
• Orientation: Serves under the Espada



• Appearance:

Picture is pretty close to but not quite perfect. For one she does not normally have wings (that’s only in resurrection). Her hair is long black her eyes cold showing no emotions because she has none. She wears the arm length glove seen in the picture along with the dress. It goes down to her ankles but is a split bottom so it does not restrict her movements in a fight. She managed to retain a mostly human shape though she does have slight bulges from large shoulder bones. She is also taller than many humans females standing at 6’4” though her proportions are normal.

• Bone Appearance: Her hallow mask shard remains on her face. It is around her right eye. The bone travels around completely around the rim of her eye and there are also two strips that continue down her face in straight lines one ending at her lip the other ending on her chin. Some have made the comment that it makes it look like she is crying. Those that said that never said anything again.

• Hollow Hole: Her hollow is not terribly unique. It goes through the center of her chest. Hers truly does represent her missing heart which she threw away back when she was still a living human being.

• Reiatsu Colour: Black. She believes that it is black because black represents absolutely nothings. Because of her decisions in the past she has erased almost every piece of who she was a long time ago. This process took a long time starting when she was a human. She literally has no heart and feels nothing. She believes it is because of the emptiness inside of her that her reiatsu has taken on a black appearance.



Personality: Miraya's personality is a bit odd to say the least and difficult to explain to others. To put it simply she is cold and heartless. She doesn't care about what anybody else feels or thinks. It isn't because she is trying to make herself satisfied or happy. She just doesn't feel anything. Ever since she was a human being she refused to let in any feeling. Nobody has been able to break through to her and get her to feel anything at all. Not anger, sadness, remorse, hatred, love, or jealousy. She feels absolutely nothing. She simply does whatever she does whenever she wants.

If she had any emotion what so ever it would have to be desire. She desires to get revenge for something that happened to her at some point in her life but she doesn't remember what it was or who she wants revenge against. All she knows is that she wants to get revenge on someone. This caused her to become more aggressive then most other arrancar. She is willing to fight someone with very little, if any, provocation. The only reason why she ever hesitates from a fight is if she can tell that she does not have a way to win.

She knows that she willingly gave up her heart long ago but she does not remember why. She believes that it is because she gave up her heart that she does not remember what happened in her past. She has met many others who can remember stuff about their past but she can't remember anything about herself besides when she was an arrancar and she can remember the battle of karakura but that is all. She knows that the past exists somewhere because she has flashes of it but she can never recall it at will. She thinks that if she can get the revenge she wants then it will restore her heart and her memories. Though she does not know who it is she must get her revenge on.



• History:
The human years:

Miraya’s life as a human is a tragic one. Her parents died shortly after she was born which left her as an orphan. Orphans in the world are doomed the life the cycle of foster home after foster home and Miraya was no different. She managed to hold on to the believe that someday one of the families that she was sent to would love her enough to keep her. But every single time she was sent to a family she was accepted well enough but once the parents had a child of their own she was sent to the next family. She was replaced countless times by biological kids. Time after time this happened which would have been enough to break any kids spirit but Miraya was strong enough to hold on to hope that a family would learn to love her even when she became a teenager. She hoped that some set of parents would be willing to yell at her and teach her right from wrong. She messed up several times and got in trouble. She listened to foster parents when they thought she was asleep and heard time after time “It’s not like she is our kid. She will eventually get into enough trouble that the state will take her off our hands.” Or something to that effect. It made her sad beyond measure that families still would only tolerate her. None of them ever seemed to be capable of loving her.

As she grew older she developed a body that always turned the heads of every guy in the room. While she could have anyone she wanted she was still looking for someone that would truly love her for only her and not what she looked like. She looked for a long time but finally managed to find a man that seemed willing to try and get to know her before sex. They dated for a long time and he never pushed about the subject. She thought that she had finally found someone that actually loved her. Someone that would stay with her forever. She never guessed that this was something too good to be true. After years of dating she finally decided that she was ready. He had proven to her that he did love her and would always love her so she was going to give herself to him completely. She decided to surprise him one day and returned home early. She saw a strange car in the drive way which instantly made her wonder what was going on. She quietly went in the house and searched for her man. She finally found him on her bed…..with another woman. She was shocked at what she saw and ran from the room. When she finally talked to him she asked how long it had been happening and he said the entire time. He never loved her, he just wanted to be the first to sleep with her. The only reason he had managed to hold off for so long was because he had been getting it from somewhere else. This betrayal brought forth the childhood memories of being replaced. It did what nothing else had managed to do. It broke her heart. The man left out her door for the last time and she would never see him again.

First she cried because she was sad at what had happened to her. Then she cried because she was angry at him. Next she cried in pity with herself that she had not seen it earlier. She cried from a sense of worthlessness that she was so easily replaced. She cried for a large number of reasons. Her heart had been shattered and each piece of it was fighting for control. The emotions running wild none of them making sense in the order they showed up. She was tearing herself apart constantly switching her emotions. This went on for months and people were worried about what she was going to do. One day she decided that she had had enough. Her heart couldn’t decide what to feel and it was destroying her so she did the only thing she could think of. She threw it away. All the pieces that he had created she got rid of. When she did this she felt almost nothing. One piece she could not get rid of was her desire for revenge. Her whole reason for existing had been to prove that someone could love her and he had torn that away. Now she lived for revenge. Not only on the man but on all those that had replaced her like she was nothing.

She could have done things the simple way and hunted down those that had hurt her and kill them but that just wouldn’t do for her. She needed a way to make them feel the same pain she had felt. For that she needed power. She no longer believe that someone would give her a place in the world. She would have to carve it out herself. She started to use her body to get everything she needed. She slept with powerful guys and got them to give her money, weapons, drugs, information, anything needed to control others. While she still got physical pleasure from these activities there was zero emotional pleasure. She felt nothing in her heart for all the men she used. She had set herself up to get her revenge on everyone. Her pain was the pain of loss, loss of everything she had held dear to her in her heart. She would make these people lose everything they held dear.

She researched all of the people that had been her foster parents and learned about the children that had replaced her. One was into drugs and she now controlled a healthy supply, one bag of which was a bit stronger than it was supposed to be. This cause the child that replaced her to spend years in rehab. The first family felt the pain of loss. Another went to shooting ranges regularly and using her body to influence another man there an “accidental” miss fire happened. The boy managed to live but was paralyzed from the waist down. The second family now felt loss of what they held dear. The third family that replaced her had create a very successful business. A business that fell under constant scrutiny for its success. A couple of charges of sexual harassment from an anonymous female worker caused an investigation turning up a strangely large amount of evidence for corruption. Jail for 20 years was the punishment here causing the third family to feel loss. She considered all of this to be their just rewards for what they had done to her. They had not killed her so she could not justify killing them.

Unfortunately while she never actually killed anyone most of what she had done in regards to her revenge was indeed illegal. The law finally managed to pin together the thread connecting the families, her, and figured out what was going on. She was caught while trying to find the next family and the man that had pretended to love her. She was sentenced to 40years in prison for everything that she had done. She hoped to continue her operation from behind bars but that would not happen. The other women took an immediate dislike to her. This was because she quickly made “friends” with the guards to get special favors. The other prisoners took matter into their own hands to correct the situation. Miraya never made it past her first year in prison. She was shanked by two of the other inmates who were jealous of the special favors she received. This was done in the middle of the night. She went to sleep but never woke up.

Death and hollowfication

To say that she never woke up isn't quite accurate. When she woke up she was no longer in prison. She wondered if one of the guards had sneaked her out in the middle of the night. But she couldn't understand why she was outside. She looked around and noticed that she recognized the place she was at. It was the city she was raised in. Nobody made much not of it as a spiritual center or anything like that. It was just a small city not to far away from karakura. This was before WW3 happened and the world became more aware of the supernatural plane.

She turned around wondering how she had gotten here. This place was full of bad memories for her. It wasn't until she turned her chest and heard a clinking sound that she noticed the chain that was on her chest. She didn't understand what it was. She tried to pull it out but found that it wouldn't budge an inch. It was linking her to an old building. she recognized it as the foster care center. This was where she would always meet her new families. She was back in her past and she couldn't understand why. She reached out to someone passing by on the street saying "Hey do you know how I got here" but they completely ignored her. She was not used to being ignored in any form. Guys normally drooled over her and girls envied her but nobody ignored her.

She wondered around wondering what was going on when she saw another person with a chain on their chest. This was the first person that actually looked at her. Finally someone to explain what was happnening. She ran over to her but the other person was trying to signal something to her. Just then a large hollow appeared. She didn't know what it was and thought it was some kind of monster. It was chasing yet another person with a chain. It was taking huge chunks out of the road as it went. She hid away waiting for it to go away. When it was clear she talked to the person that tried to signal to her.

"Are you crazy. What were you thinking walking around in the open with it so close?" the other person, a woman she now saw, said.

She didn't understand what was meant by that. "What was that thing anyway and what is with these stupid chains?"

"You really don't know do you. Your dead. That chain is the proof of that. It links you to important stuff from when you were alive. We can't touch anything from the living world. As for that thing you saw. I'm not sure exactly what it is but it seems to hunt down dead people. I don't think we are supposed to stay here but I don't know how to leave." the other woman told Miraya. She listened to what she was told and knew her plans were over. She was dead and couldn't touch anything or anyone that was still alive. But then she looked at the street. That monster could affect the living world. If she could find out how to do that to then maybe just maybe she could still get the revenge she wanted.

She knew that she needed to learn how that monster could destroy the road so she could get her revenge. She wondered if it was capable of speaking. When the monster showed up again she walked out into the middle of the road and called its attention to her. "I don't know what you are but please teach me how you can affect the living world." She saw the monster stop and turn toward her. She felt that she was about to learn the secret. The monster spoke "What's this? A voluntary victim? A pretty one to. Fine I shall take you." It grabbed her and dragged her through a portal to Heuco Muno where it began to eat her. This had not been what she wanted. She didn't understand what was happening. After only a few bites it threw her away. Her mind could barely think at all but did hear this one thing "thought it would taste better" As her mind went blank she could feel her body start to change.

Ascending through the hollow ranks

Her change to a hollow wasn't very dramatic. Her body changed becoming larger her hands becoming claws her feet becoming huge the chain in her chest fell out leaving only a hole in her chest. She didn't even try to resist the change. She didn't even know what was happening or what it would mean once it was done. Her body finally began to feel solid after a while signaling the transformation into a hollow was complete, or so she thought. Just when she thought it was over her face erupted around her strange white material wrapping around it. The mask that formed on her face was relatively smooth in appearance not revealing much.

When the transformation finished she found that she remembered nothing at all about who she was or anything about her past. Other hollows seem to know a fair bit about themselves but Miraya did not. All that remained was her desire for revenge against those that had wronged her. She knew these people were still alive and she knew what they looked like but she couldn't remember where they were or why she wanted the revenge.

The feeling of wanting revenge extended not only to those faces in her mind but also to other hollows. She was still in Hueco Mundo filled with other hollows. If any of them brushed against her or looked at her the wrong way she took it as being wronged and devoured them. She didn't know how to get to the world of the living to get those other faces so she settled for the hollows around her. There was no shortage of hollows around and she simply kept eating them over and over again. Before long she felt herself changing yet again into a gillian class menos.

From the start of this gillian's existence Miraya's was the dominate personality. the mask which is normally large with a pointed nose was still smooth as hers had been. She still felt that desire for revenge but now she had lost all memory of who it was she wanted revenge upon. All of those hollows blocked out the faces she used to see. She simply wondered around her desire for revenge fueling intense hunger. She continued to devour anything she came across which was almost always more hollows. Standard hollows or other gillians she didn't care. She at everything and anything. She didn't know how long it truly was for in hueco mundo time seemed to not move but she changed once again into an Adjuchas class menos.

This is where her unique appearance come into existence. Her body grew wings on her back and her mask now grew above her head making the unclosed circle for the first time. Her arms were spiked now and her hands reminded her of claws. She could feel that it was a powerful form. The other hollows no longer sounded in her head. She knew they were there but she couldn't hear them like she did in gillian form. It was while she was an adjuchas that WW3 finally started. The hollows invaded the world of the living and she lead a large force of gillians. The battles were intense and they nearly drove them back to the heart of karakura.

It was only luck that she was not killed in karakura when the last battle took place. Many supernatural creatures were killed that day and it is an event that she terrified her. She sent in wave after wave of gillian and watched as they were all defeated. She charged in herself after those in karakura and had an intense battle with the defenders but even she was no match for them. She was severely wounded in the battle before she fled. She ran from Karakura even as more beings were going in. She went back to Hueco Mundo to give herself time to heal her wounds before she rejoined the battle.

She was still recovering from the battle when news reached her that the battle had been given up. They had lost after all. She knew there was nothing she could have done about it. She had tried to make a difference and lost. She was approached by a couple of arrancar as she was still trying to heal. "We saw you out there in Karakura. You fought bravely you know. You are clearly powerful but they were just to strong and to stubborn to give up. Next time though you will be even stronger. You will be an arrancar." They told her how to become an arrancar. told her how much stronger she would become if she did. She didn't even hesitate. She pulled off her mask for the first time like she had been meant to do it. She became an arrancar, losing her memories of her time as a hollow except for the battle of karakura which still burned in her mind. She would need to be strong enough to beat them next time they met.



• Sealed Zanpakutô: Her Zanpakutō is not like any normal weapon. Most people upon looking at her think that she does not have a Zanpakutō at all. Her weapon can be hung from her waist but she almost never does because it is easier for her to wear it. Her Zanpakutō takes the form of a bladed glove that folds the blades on itself. When she balls her hands into a fist four blades come off of the area of the glove around her forearm landing four blades above her knuckles each blade going straight out of her fist about 8 inches. There are also two blades that come out and the side of her fist as well as long as the other four. These blades are at a 90o angle compared to the four blades above her knuckles. In addition to these blades there are three blades that remain on her forearm running along the length of it that she can use to slice into an opponent. When she opens her fist the blades all fold into themselves along her forearm and flatten down appearing as if they were a metal armguard. She wears this glove on her left arm. The glove fingers stop after the first section of her fingers.

• Racial Abilities:

Bala (虚弾 (バラ), Bara; Spanish for "Bullet," Japanese for "Hollow Bullet") a technique of firing his hardened spiritual pressure against his enemies. Less powerful than a Cero, but it can be successively fired at 20 times the rate. She preferes this over her cero. It is much easier for her to control and she developed a technique that allows her to fire it even faster then other arrancar.

Cero (虚閃 (セロ), Sero; Spanish for "Zero," Japanese for "Hollow Flash," "Doom Blast" in the Viz translation) a powerful spiritual light fired by Menos Grandes and Arrancar. Her's is a bit stronger then most arrancar's cero is. However it is difficult for her to control so she does not use it very often.

Descorrer (解空(デスコレール), Desukorēru; Japanese for "Loosed Void", Spanish for "Drawing Back/Opening"): A technique used by Espada-level Arrancar and sometimes others, to open a Garganta between the living world and Hueco Mundo. She uses this to allow herself to move to the living world where she hopes to find those that she wants revenge upon but she never stays there for to long so others won't notice her absence.

Garganta (黒腔 (ガルガンタ), Garuganta; Spanish for "Throat", Japanese for "Black Cavity") is how Arrancar and Hollows are able to move in and out from Hueco Mundo. It is a spiritual pathway connecting the Arrancar's world, Hueco Mundo, to other worlds. Besides the World of the Living and the Soul Society, it can also open the gates of the Dangai and K-World. A turbulence of Reishi blows within Garganta. To move through it, travellers must create footholds using the Reishi. Uses this for the same reason as the last ability. Trying to find those that she desires revenge against.

Hierro (鋼皮 (イエロ), Iero; Spanish for "Iron," Japanese for "Steel Skin") An Arrancar's outer skin with high spiritual hardness that serves as armor. She has developed hers very highly because she uses an unarmed style combat and must rely on it to protect her from arm more often then she would like.

Pesquisa (探査回路 (ペスキサ), Pesukisa; Spanish for "Inquiry," Japanese for "Probe Circuit") An Arrancar ability to measure and locate spiritual pressure. She uses this to determine the power level of her opponents for the most part. She is quick to attack someone but not if they are insanely stronger then her which she must admit does not happen a whole lot.

Sonído (響転 (ソニード), Sonīdo; Spanish for "Sound," Japanese for "Sound Ceremony") The Arrancar equivalent to a Shinigami's Shunpo. This is also something that she has developed a lot. She knew that fighting using in unarmed style she would need to be as quick as possible and this played right into that. It can sometimes allow her to get off a quick attack before someone knows she is there and can give her an edge in some fights if her opponent is to slow.

Resurrección (帰刃 (レスレクシオン), Resurekushion; Spanish for "Resurrection," Japanese for "Returning Blade") Releasing the core of an Arrancar' ability sealed in their Zanpakutō to regain the original powers of a Hollow. They often take on a form closer to a Hollow than a Human after performing Resurrección. If you want to know more about her ressurreccion then simply scroll down.



• Unique Abilities:
Arm charge.

This ability is one that she developed to match her up close and personal fighting style. She with an unarmed style which utilizes her fist weapon on her left hand well but her right arm is exposed. She learned how to charge her reiatsu along her right arm. This makes her arm glow in the color or her reiatsu. This glow can warn her opponents that her special abilities can be used if they know what the glowing means. She can use this charged reiatsu to make her hierro almost a full grade stronger. This increase in hierro only applies to her arm. This increase in hierro does give her punches an increase in impact damage. Another way she can use this charged reiatsu is to allow her to use rapid fire bala. Most arrancar can fire one bala when the punch out their fist. When using this charged reiatsu she can launch off up to 10 in a single punch. When she launches the bala it consumes the charge on her arm and attacks on the improved hierrow will weaken it so enough attacks will break the charge but beyond that she can hold the charge almost indefinately.

Pheromones

This is an ability that she had naturally that she could control the moment she became an arrancar. It began to appear once she became a hollow and it has only gotten stronger. Her body can release chemical pheromones should someone touch the chemicals they are induced to feel a certain way. She must make direct skin contact to cause these pheromones to have any effect. These pheromones cause chemical reactions to create these feelings so it is not truly an illusion or mind control. However, someone with enough strength of will, mental deduction, will be able to ignore these affects. For instance a Grand Master might not even acknowledge the feeling is there where a beginner would be completely overcome. All of the effects of the pheromones is temporary and strong focus can shorten the amount of time that they are affected. Beginner may be affected for several minutes (a few posts) while Grand Masters will get rid of them almost immediately (next post they make). If she is deated in a fight then the affects of her pheromones disappear as part of their ability comes from her reiatsu. She believes that she can create more feelings in others but these are the ones that she can create right now.

Anger, Those around her feel an intense rage that is all consuming. They start to blame everything on everyone. The pheromones causes muscles to bulge making them stronger but they will also be likely to attack allies as well as enemies. This feeling is useful when she is up against large groups. Some people are skilled enough at channeling their anger that they will be able to use the extra strength they gain and still only attack her.

Sadness, This drains her opponents of all happiness and joys. They begin to feel like there is nothing good in the world and nothing will work out for them. They feel endless doom and gloom. They will begin to lose their will to fight all together usually making them move slower and attacks to become weaker. This feeling needs to build over time to come to full effect so those affected will have a chance to defeat her before it takes over. There are those that go through live like this and are still able to function. These people will be able to recognize the effects and be able to use it to trick her into a false sense of security before striking her.

Love, This is one that she likes to use when she toys with people. This makes them enter a state of attractiveness towards her. It works faster on males then females but both are affected. They will become more sloppy with their weapons and techinques and sometimes become unwilling to attack her at all though they are likely to still defend themselves (most people don’t like an abusive relationship). Some affected will recognize that theirs is a love that cannot exist and choose to take her out then themselves. Of course once she is defeated the affects wear off and they can walk away without harming themselves.

Pain, not physical pain but emotional pain. It brings up every bad memory of someone’s entire life and connects it to everything else. They begin to feel miserable about themselves. This also leaves their body less braced for physical pain so won’t be able to handle as much. This is the only pheromone that she is not completely immune to. She does not feel the emotional pain but she is more susceptible to physical pain.

(Please note that the drawbacks for anger, sadness, and love are personality based. For example a naturally angry person can channel the anger, a sad person can take advantage of sadness, and a womanizer would be able to take advantage of love. I will not base my decisions for which pheromone to use based on your personality but I will check to see if your personality matches these drawbacks so don't think anyone can use them at any time.)



• Resereccion Name: Daten-shi (japanese for Fallen Angel)

• Resereccion Release Phrase: Ascend into the heavens and crash down again.

• Release Actions: Holds her gloved hand in front of her, blades facing out and punches her arm into the air while jumping. She jumps higher then any normal person can ascending to the point where she is barely visable. She stays in the air a moment before coming back down in her resserecion state.

• Resereccion Appearance: Her resereccion has black wings that allow her to fly in the air. Her mask is no longer around just one eye but both and the pieces rise above her head instead of down it ending in an unclosed circle creating a broken halo look. She becomes two feet taller and her arms become longer. She fingers all come to pointed ends which she can use like claws and she has jagged spikes coming from the back of her arms.

• Resereccion Abilities:
Flight:
What else would you expect from someone that grows wings. She is able to fly around faster then she can run. This also improves the speed of her sonida as well so she can move faster with that ability. She cannot fly exteremly high but she can raise herself above head level of other people.

Feather rain:
Another way that she can use her wings is to beat them towards her opponent and launch some of her feathers at them. Each one of these feathers carries a small amount of her reiatsu causing them to explode upon impact. She does not have an infinite amount of feathers though and because they explode she cannot get them back. She must use this very carefully because if she uses it enough (three times in a fight) then her wings will become nothing more then the bones supporting them. This will cause her to lose her flight ability completely but she can then use these bones to attack her opponents as well as her hands. However, the feather will regenerate slowly and after four posts the wings will be back up to full strength.

Double arm charge:
This is simply an improved version of the arm charge ability she has without her resereccion. Both of her arms start to glow and both get the improvements though she can no longer hold the charge for an extended period of time (will begin to disipate after a couple of posts.) so it must be used quickly and so she cannot wait until the best time to use it. This means she must be a bit more careful then when she was in her sealed state. If used with her dagger like fingers this charge can allow her to puncture deep into her opponents sometimes burying her entire hand in her opponent though it carries risk because if she uses her charge for this the attack can be blocked or dodged in which case she would have wasted it. This does take up a fair amount of reiatsu and she can only use it up to 5 times in a single fight.
