_________________________________

Appearance

• Appearance: Grajo is a slender but toned young Arrancar that stand at 5 foot 11 inches tall. His hair is shoulder length and messy in generality as it falls around his face covering one eye from time to time. His body tone is athletic with a strong physique of a proud and almost arrogant man with definition to his abdomen and chest. despite his size he does not weight much as he is only 12 stone but his spiritual pressure increases his weight should he choose to 15 stone.

Grajo's face is covered most distinctively by what remains of his hollow mask as it covers the entirety of his lover face from his nose down to over his chin. The only break in his mask are six vertical slots from which he breathes and speaks however his lips and nose are never seen by anyone and his mask can not be removed.
His eyes are full of malice and agitation, as if he is always angry. His iris' are a shade of hazel brown when they are not hiding behind his hair.

Just in the center of his chest is the most significant part to an Arrancar, his Hollow hole. Which is approximately 4 inches in diameter and sits at the top of his sternum. The only other area to have any form of hollow white bone are his hands that have small plates over the back of each palm similar to a pair of gauntlets.

Grajo's style is more conventional to modern day fashion keeping to his own unique style with a 'bad boy' or 'mysterious' visage given off not only by his mask but also by his choice in clothing. he always wears a white overcoat that stretches down to his knees, which is always unbuttoned and is quite light and flowing as he moves. the collar is usually up at the back or scruffily kept in place. Beneath lies a white short sleeve fitted top with a deep V neck cut into it which, shows off his upper body tone which looks more tattered than it should but not to the point it is trashed.

On his lower half he wears a pair of long flowing trousers with only side pockets with no significant patterns or sigils on them. They reach down to his feet in length, as they are also white in colour and are fastened with a black tied sash around his hips. On his feet he wears a pair of shin high fastened white boots with black soles. They most resemble a pair of sleek riding boots which are often dirtied from the sand of Hueco Mundo.

As for mannerisms this particular Arrancar does not smile, mostly because you wouldn't know even if he was due to his mask. He does however say a lot with his eyes, they are very cold and lifeless. He often looks either indifferent to what is being said or agitated. He also has a tendency to have his hands in his pockets, which comes across as either an arrogant child or rebellious teenager.

This Arrancar also has somewhat of a souvenir. Over Grajo's right shoulder is a huge gouge mark where he had nearly been eaten by an Adjuchas when he was one himself. He had been lying in wait to feast upon some nearby Gillian. However when he leapt out he found himself cornered by several other Adjuchas that had clearly banded together and in a fierce battle he defeated all but one which in a moment of blindness he had been viciously bitten and savaged before managing to escape with his life. But just barely.

Now Grajo wears his scar like a mark of passage that he could not have become what he was now without feasting on the weak and the pathetic, as they furthered his own strength. He would not allow himself to become apart of some pitiful Gillian horde as a mindless drone. This was his proof of that.

Likes:

• Analyzing - Grajo is an Arrancar that much prefers to analyse his situations to find a solution over blindly charging in much like his bretheren. He will often run simulations in his mind for hunting the weaker hollows as well as a potential escape plan when faced with stronger foes.
He will often also play chess in his mind, thinking of where the enemy will move first, trying to be as many as five moves ahead of his foe often stating "Look closely, because what you see is not there."

• Being Alone - Grajo has spent most of his Hollow life alone often venturing out alone even though he knew it could cost him his life. He much prefers not having to work with or be around others for long periods of time unless he is required to do so. He does not require companionship and often finds it fickle and the start to emotions and feelings to which he believes an Arrancar should not have.

• Becoming Powerful - Once he had found out that he could advance his powers and abilities by devouring other Hollows he decided that he would not become the prey of another but instead take it upon himself to grow in strength even surpassing Adjuchas to reach Vasto Lorde. Even though this choice almost cost him his life he still believes it one of his few reasons for being.

• Sonido - Probably the most useful skill in a Hollows arsenal. On top of having the most practical applications, Sonido is the most fun to use. The ability to travel vast distances by focusing on your destination and just going. Any real excuse is good enough to justify Sonido. The feeling of rushing through time and space, the pleasing sound of his spiritual energy humming, it is all wonderful. If only travel could always be so enjoyable. Such a shame it is so tiring.

• Pluses - These are a delicacy to Grajo as he find them few and far between with all of the Hollows running around. However on occasion he can travel to the Human World to try to find something to his tastes, provided no Shingami decide to stand in his was and stop his food from running. This is not something that he will often talk about, he likes to dine in private and most certainly doesn't like an audience. But whilst eating who honestly does?

• Guitar - It may seem absurd thinking of an Arrancar with a Guitar but it is one of the only things that keeps Grajo moderately content with his life. He will often sit alone and play various forms of music but he has a particular collection when it comes to Spanish and flamenco guitar. For some reason it brings a very small amount of joy to hear it being played along with his own twists and changes he makes along the way. His guitar is a classical 6 string, wooden acoustic with a lightweight body which is beach coloured.

• Red hair - This is a strange thing that Grajo has grown to like over the years. Not often that he would find a hollow or a Vasto Lorde with red hair, but he still is fascinated by the vibrance and colour of it. The passion that it instills and the fire that it can emphasise is what he finds most attractive.

• Hueco Mundo - Regardless of what a hell hole it may be, it is home. It is where he has spend the last 150 years growing and becoming who he is, the become the power and force that he is. He knows most of the dark tunnels, which are safe and which are deadly. To him it is where he is at home, amongst the damned and the broken. This was Hueco Mundo.

• His Mother - Unbeknown to anyone else, he regained the memories of his mother which he holds very close to what remains of his heart. He wishes to become strong enough to try to access the Soul Society to see her again and is willing to do anything to achieve this!

Dislikes:

• Fighting Shinigami - Who wouldn't dislike fighting those who can kill him? It is his instinct to survive that usually prevents him from facing such adversaries without provocation. He knows full well that he can defeat them since he has done so time and time again when he was purely minding his own business and they have attacked. But he finds them fickle and irritating always telling him their name, rank and squad. It gets a tad repetitive.

• Being Called Weak - It is very rare that someone has the ordacity to say this too his face but Grajo despises the thought of being weak, to being 'just a Hollow' it never sat well with him and he despises the thought of being less that what he should. He was born to become a Vasto Lorde and that is what he has achieved, but not without sacrifice.

• Children - Admittedly he has not come across many children but from time to time when he goes to the World of the Living he sees human parents walking with screaming sniveling brats. Who would choose to create such monsters? They scream, cry, yell, whinge and cry even more. Although his distaste for the small humans is great he would never intentionally kill one. After all they were of no importance to him unless they are a plus.

• Quincy - Now these stuck up bastards really hit near the top of Gajo's hate list. Their sheer arrogance and self righteous bollocks that they constantly shout; 'In the name of the Quincy' or 'My Quincy honor will blah blah blah'. Compared to hearing some pompous Quincy Grajo would rather sit with the screaming children.

• Human contact - Grajo unfortunately isn't a touchy feely kinda guy, he will have a conversation should be feel he has a reason to speak but otherwise he says very little and human contact is worse. He feels no requirement for it, much like emotions he feels being in contact with someone show's you care and are there for them in some way. Pathetic. What does an Arrancar do with human contact? Nothing.

• Fighting Fellow Hollows - What is the point? Except from getting some more power what makes it a requirement for Hollows to constantly destroy one another? Grajo thinks this constantly, although he has no real quarrel with any Hollow he will not tolerate assholes and general threats. He believes that a fine few may one day be able to sit in a room and not want to eat one another.

Ambitions/Dreams/Goals:

• Leader - One day Groja wants to lead his own group of Vasto Lorde to a peaceful place where his brethren may not be hunted like wild animals. However he will also drown the world in blood to achieve this.

• Vasto Lorde Power - Groja wishes too see the strongest of the Vasto lorde to gain more power in Hueco Mundo and force back against the Soul Society and the Quincy.

• Awaken His Segunda Etapa - This should be the aim of Every Vasto Lorde! To achieve something that is only known in myth amongst the Hollows of old. There is something calling inside him that knows he must reach that level.

• Meeting A Captain Of The Gotei 13 - Although he has no real issue with any Shinigami unless they attack him, he believes it would be an interesting experience to meet a Captain of the people who hunt his own so meticulously.

Strengths:

• Emptiness - Oh emptiness. It is a cruel and terrible thing to endure, but for Groja it is a daily routine and something he has grown accustomed. Often feeling empty, not relying on feeling emotions unless truly required. His emptiness is what allows him to make his decisions without prejudice or contemplation of others.

• Self Preservation - It is Groja's will to survive and overwhelming need to preserve himself that stops him making rash decisions or pick fights with others. He will face an enemy should they provoke or attack him but he will use his ability of analysis to decide if it is a worthy fight or not.

• Strength of Vision - His strength of vision does not mean his eyes. But more his ability to see his dreams and follow them, unlike others who can only dream of where they wish to be Groja will make it so. No matter how long it may take.

• Analytic Mind - This Arrancar is not like most. He plays his life like a game of chess, always planning 4 moves ahead of everything and everyone, he creates countless scenarios in his mind before ever opening his mouth to offer an opinion or before making a move on anything.

• Emotionless - Being Emotionless allows Groja to not be drawn in by fallen allies, to care for others plight. It is a harsh reality that he cares not for emotions or what they could give. They are merely seen as a weakness and not bearing any is of a greater advantage to him than a disadvantage.


Fears & Weaknesses:

• Trust - Who needs it? This is one Arrancar who you would not ask to take a bullet for you because.... Well. He wont. Grajo trusts no one, he wishes to be trusted by no one and will look out for himself over an acquaintance anytime unless it serves his purpose.

• friends - Grajo has no friends. I mean come on would you like this guy as a pal? His arrogance and disbelief in anything material stops him from making friends or wanting any, his solitude will also be his downfall.

• Power - His constant search for power and wish to be more than just a Hollow will take him into dangerous territory and often push him into corners that most would fear.

• Gotei 13 Captains - Grajo's intrigue into the 13 Court Guard Squads and their captains could lead to his death. He does not wish to face them, merely to engage them in a conversation and ask why they fight and what for? Perhaps one could even help him in his goal to find his mother? Who knows.

• De-Evolution - This is something all Hollows fear. They fight so hard to contain what small part of their former life they have, constantly striving and feeding to grow so that they can stay as a Vasto Lorde. His fear is that he would fall back into nothingness and become a nothing once more.

• Bone Appearance: His link to his Hollow past is most evident on his face as his mask covers the lower half of it. From the bridge of his nose, down to the base of his chin his mask is visible along with six elongated sections resembling a Knight from the Medieval times.

The only other way of distinguishing his Hollow past is from his hands that have white hollow plates covering the back of his hands and fingers similar to a pair of gauntlets.

• Hollow Hole: Grajo's Hollow hole is located just above his sternum at the base of his throat and is only 4 inches in diameter in a full circle which for a Hollow is pretty small, making him slightly different from others that are more distinguished.

• Reiatsu Colour: Purple with hints of black.

_________________________________

Personality

Personality:
Grajo is a very cold, callous, dispassionate figure, and is rather arrogant, brooding, and indifferent, willing to harm both his comrades and enemies should they ever get in his way. He find little pleasure in exchanging any form of words with anyone he deems lower than himself, merely staying to cold stares and grunts if he has to comment in any way. Despite this, he is not outright violent as most Hollows and Arrancar as presumed to be, instead he is much more likely to attack those of a higher Reiatsu than himself, from provocation or from orders should he ever gain a master.

Grajo has little interest in the Human world or their pitiful existence as his main goal is purely not to fade away like a memory, he wanted to live on. To become something more than just a regular Hollow, but to lead his brothers and destroy those who oppose him.

He is extremely smart. This is a factor often overlooked due to him being an Arrancar, but he is extremely well crafted in strategy and analysis, often finding weak points and emotional connections that he can use against a foe to claim him victory. Regardless of his arrogant and flip of a coin attitude he hides a much more sinister side to himself than he would let on to others around him.

His tact on the battle field is something to behold as his speed is his main weapon. He utilizes his power through speed, often being used to fighting alone and using quick flashes and bursts of attacks rather than cumbersome powerful attacks. This is not too say that he can not do such things, but he finds them to be more for the walking idiots rather than intelligent individuals like himself.

Grajo is not one to take orders lightly, even though he had friends briefly during his time as an Adjuchas they were all devoured or he devoured them at their requests. This has instilled a sense of loneliness within him that forces him to fight solo and has done for many years. This makes teamwork a much harder aspect for him to accept, much preferring to challenge a foe on his own rather than with a comrade.

Grajo's attitude towards Shinigami is not one of hatred, which is strange for any Arrancar or Hollow to not despise their hunters. However this Arrancar has no such feelings towards those who dwell in the Soul Society but rather he is intrigued by them. He finds them fickle, compassionate and overladen with emotions that make them weak. But yet he still wishes to know what makes them tick, what makes them choose to sacrifice themselves for 'friends'. This results in him not caring for them because of their weaknesses and until he is shown otherwise he cares little for their actions in this world, that is, unless they choose to challenge him. To which it is a very different story indeed.

One fact that is unknown to any but himself and makes him a very unique individual is that he maintains the memories he had from his Human life. When he became an Arrancar he regained his memories as a boy which includes losing his Mother, his abusive Father and the pain that went with that. As a result of this anyone who brings up the subject of his Mother is cast upon in a fit of rage and Grajo will never allow that to pass. This is also a potential weakness and not one that he would openly share with anyone.

Background Information

• History: grajo started his life as a plus, dying in tokyo, Japan in 1864. He lived an ordinary life being born from a Spanish Mother and Japanese Father. He had lived a happy and full life as his father worked as a Police officer and his Mother worked from home as a house wife, looking after Grajo and showing all the love and affection a Mother should show her offspring. Unfortunately at the age of 10 Grajo's Mother was out collecting some fruit when she was set upon by a group of local thugs. She was assaulted and brutally murders by being stabbed 14 times in the chest. She was found 3 days after her death lying in a woodland.

both Grajo and his Father could not deal with the grief and loss of her in such a brutal way, leading to Shiro taking to the bottle, drinking often three bottles of Sake a night to himself crying into the photograph of his deceased wife. Grajo was young but the loss still tore through him leaving him feeling barren inside wishing that he could turn off the pain and just have his Mother back! It was not long before Shiro in his drunken grief became Violent, often beating and hitting Grajo to the point of unconsciousness and every morning his Father would apologize and say; "It will not happen again." Then the night came and the bottles came out.

For Years Grajo suffered this punishment in silence often removing all emotion to burden the pain. love, friendship, compassion, dedication. What would this boy do with these things when the person who should be providing them leaves his in wreathing agony on a daily basis. Finally at the age of 17 he was shown a small reprieve as his Father died from alcohol poisoning. Grajo was left alone. Needless to say he shed no tears at his Fathers funeral but merely swore to never become like him, but yet he still kept his emotions switched off even though he became popular in school as the strong silent type. girls would ask him on dates constantly until he couldn't take the emptiness any longer, losing his mother to such gruesome circumstances and then his own father's rebuke of alcohol and violence drove him to the brink of madness.

It was a late summers eve when Grajo ventured down to the apple fields where his Mother had been murdered. He laid some flowers next to a photo frame that he had placed nearby, crying gently;

"I'm sorry Mother... I'm so sorry I couldn't save you! Everything that has happened since should not have happened! He should have died, not you, anyone but you! Why! Why would this God allow anything like this to happen! I hate him! I hate him!! it won't be long now... We'll be together..."

With this he gently pressed his lips to the picture and moved back to the green apple tree still swaying gently in the summer breeze as the sun began to set. He got too his feet and fastened the rope to the tree making sure the noose was strong and stable before placing it around his neck then... He jumped.

When Grajo awoke he felt strange, as if lost in between spaces, he rubbed his eyes as he looked up to see his body swinging in the breeze along with a strange chain attached to his chest. He gently placed a hand on it and began to tear up;

"Why am I not with her? W-Where is she... Why am I not with my Mother! Fuck!! ARGGHH!!!" He cried out as he smashed the tree but not seeing it move. When he felt a presence behind him looming but feeling of relief and content as he turned he saw a young male standing in a black outfit unlike any he had seen before, wearing a Katana at his side;

"Who.. Who are you? What do you want?" He shuddered as his voice shook with fear, finally an emotion he knew only too well. The stranger merely smiled reassuringly before walking close and placing a hand upon his head;

"You have nothing to fear, I'm going to send you somewhere safe and peaceful. You're going to the Soul Society." The Shinigami pulled forth his blade and moved to place it upon Grajo's head when a scythe erupted from his chest as a horrific white masked creature laughed insatiably looking at Grajo with black, empty eyes.

" A new toy! Wonderful! HAHA! you will make good dessert!" He laughed as he began to devour the Shinigami in front of him. It was then that a voice rang out in his head to pull the chain, release it like water in a sink. Drain away... As he gripped the chain tight he pulled with all of his might as the chain came away in his hands he screamed out in agony as white fluid began to explode all over him covering his body. All that went through the mind of the terrified boy was the thoughts of his mother and the shell he placed himself in to protect himself from his father; "Live... live... Live!" He thought to himself as his eyes went black.

When he awoke once more he was in a barren wasteland, covered with nothing but sand and strange dead trees. He looked around and realized he was now completely white. His legs were no more, but instead hung a long tail, his arms were not long and agile but with massive scythes protruding from them whilst his face he felt was hard as bone and elongated.

He felt nothing. Why did he feel nothing. What was his name? Who was he? hunger... Why was he so hungry. He felt as if he had never eaten as he slid forward letting out a deafening cry of agony.
For what felt like an eternity the young boy that loved his mother so much was no more as his humanity faded away like sand in the wind. He became hungry and only hungry. All that he knew is that his prey got bigger and so did he, he fought more and more facing foe after foe and devouring them.

It was then he grew into the creature known as Menos Grande. A monstrous creature that inspires fear in Shinigami throughout the Seritei. He only knew that others like himself stood and walked the world of Hueco Mundo wishing to grow in power, to grow to what was known as Vasto Lorde. That was his Goal, Young Grajo knew that much. He only knew that he had to become that powerful, powerful enough to survive as he had seen others do in front of him. His heart was no longer alive, only the will to live as he cast aside all notion of emotion and empathy. Everything was food and a step to power.

Eventually our young protagonist grew in strength, feeling nothing. emptiness became his ally, no others would go near him for fear of being devoured. He evolved once more to become what is known as Adjuchas. His form had changed from the skulking giants that lurked in the depths of Hueco Mundo but now took to the skies. His body was slender with defined muscle tone, his face was completely white with small holes for eyes that were piercing black and devoid of empathy for anything. His arms were still slender but how had the sharpened blades protruding from his elbows, whist on his back he had grown huge wings like that of a crow, his tail also disappeared to give him bird-like legs. Grajo had become a monster, caring not for whom he hurt but to only get stronger.

During one of his hunting excursions he came across a lone Menos Grande, presuming that he could take it alone he slid forth from his hiding spot carefully watching it before taking to the skies in a flurry;

"You are mine." His voice was cold and unrelenting, no longer did he sound like a boy, but instead a man, a young adult aged around 20. He dived and flew around waiting for the perfect moment when he was struck. A bigger monster than him had seen its prey. Him. He crashed into the ground as he felt a horrific pain as teeth sank into his left shoulder making him scream in agony as he plunged his elbow blade into the creatures stomach. He in turn heard a growl as its grip weakened. With his moment at hand he took off with all the speed he could muster flying into the distance gripping his wound tightly as he crashed into the ground believing himself dead. He looked and admired the wound and although it was a wound he had lost no flesh, he had not been eaten.

This was a lesson for the young Adjuchas. Pick your fights. Define your enemy. He had learnt his lesson that had nearly cost him his life at his own reckless attitude. As he slinked away he came across the Hollow equivalent of gold. Sleeping hollows with no sentry. Needless to say grajo took advantage of such an opportunity devouring the pack one by one, feeling his body explode with energy with each bite! As he took his last mouthful he felt a peculiar feeling, his body before to deform. It began to shift in ways he did not know!

He cried out in agony as he hands became more human, his elongated skull changed into a human shape with hair that fell down his face which he gripped feeling the mask still covering from his nose to his chin he panted as his wings and legs shifted, shaking and popping in agony as his wings sunk into his back and his body produced clothes upon his naked body. But most painful of all was that he remembered. He remembered his past, his life as a Human and the pain and agony of losing his mother. The feeling was the first thing that had truly hurt him in countless years! He cried out in agony time and time again even weeping into his hands until he finally stopped and with a determind look in his eyes he cut his hand as he looked down upon the warm blood; "I will swear now... I will find a way into the Soul Society and I will find my Mother." His cold voice rippled from his chest And so the boy who had hated life became something of fear. He had become Vasto Lorde and in turn an Arrancar.

Sealed State

• Sealed Zanpakutô: Rajo's Dual bladed Katana's sit on either side of his waist. They are white in colour with a white steel base and straight circle hand guard. The blades themselves reach 26 inches in length and and straight edged. They also have connectors at the end of each handle to connect the two for more effective fighting. The grip is wrapped in red and blade lace that covers the handle and grip.

• Racial Abilities:

•Sonido - This ability is known to all Vasto Lorde and Arrancar alike. It is similar to the Shinigami 'Flash Step' and the Quincies 'Hirenkyaku'. It allows Grajo to move with incredible speed, untouchable to the naked eye.

•Bala - a Bala is not nearly as powerful, but, thanks to its composition, its speed is 20 times faster, allowing it to be fired in quick succession. In addition, it possesses more concussive force than a typical Cero does. This ability is one that Grajo knows but does not overly use due to its brutish nature.

•Cero - The practitioner fires a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy at the target. While in most cases it is fired from the mouth, some Arrancar and Vizard can fire Cero from their hands, fingers, and other parts of their bodies. Grajo's Cero comes from his mask, excluding his own form of Cero which comes for six various points.

• Unique Abilities:

•Fuego ('Fire')
Effect This ability is passive as covers Rajo's Reiatsu like a blue flame. It covers him amongst his Reiatsu in a blue flame that reaches over 150 degrees centigrade and can burn those who come too close. It can be pushed away with an opponents own Reiatsu but only for short amounts of time. It is a part of his soul that allows him to burn hot, he believes it is the memories that he obtained burning inside him like a fire.

The technique is created by Grajo snapping his fingers and can be turned on at will, although to most it would only appear in a change in Reiatsu colour it is in fact very offective against close quarters fighting and buying him time to regroup his attacks. Fuego has no drain upon his spiritual pressure as it comes from his Soul and not from his Spiritual energy.
The ability can be ignited in 1 post and lasts for 4 posts with a 4 post cooldown. It can only be used 3 times per thread.

Exposure and tier effects:

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Lower: Spending 2 posts within reach or contact with cause 3rd degree burns and will ignite clothing.

Opponent is One Tier Lower: spending 2 posts within reach or contact will cause moderate burning and may ignite clothing.

Opponent is Equal Tier:spending 3 posts within reach or contact will result in mild burning similar to touching a frying pan by accident, clothes could catch alight.

Opponent is One Tier Higher:spending 4 posts of close contact will result in small burns to the degree of boiling water and clothes would not catch alight.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Higher: Would feel warm and toasty like a nice night beside the fire. Clothes will not catch alight.

•Bala Desperada - This technique is used as blue light gathers in his mask. The 6 slots are then filled with said light as the 6 Bala's are created. Once they acre created they fire in a crescent beam with the speed of a Bala but the strength of a Cero due to the amount of Bala's being used. The Crescent shape Bala is fired in a horizontal line that spans about 10 feet and acts like a razor blade, being able to slice through opponents or burn them away destroying anything in its path.

The ability can be ignited in 1 post and lasts for 4 posts with a 4 post cooldown. It can only be used 5 times per thread as it is only a Bala and not a Cero.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Lower: The opponent can hardly dodge the attack but if hit will also get one severe cut requiring stitches or worse.

Opponent is One Tier Lower: The opponent could dodge it but if not they will be hit with one severe cut that would require potential stitches.

Opponent is Equal Tier: The opponent would be able to dodge but if hit they would receive a deep wound.

Opponent is One Tier Higher: The opponent can easily dodge this but if not they receive a cut that would stop bleeding in time.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Higher: The opponent can easily dodge but if hit they receive a small gash or cut at best.

•cantará la desesperación ('Crow Despair') - Grajo's mask has the ability with its 6 slots to act like a dog whistle that manifests the illusion of black Crows. the beauty of this ability is the power the crows have. They are able to appear and disappear at a moments notice throwing the opponent off and making them jump. The illusion can not be stopped however those with a higher tier are able to withstand its effects.

The crows essentially use portals created within the illusion which allows them to appear and disappear in the same manner as a Sonido. When the crows appear they are often flapping their wings and crowing, trying to claw and stab at the opponent before disappearing again.

The terrifying factor with this technique is its ability to effect the opponents human instinct to defend ones self. If something comes flying towards you, the first human instinct is to defend yourself regardless if it would be real or an illusion. This is what the technique does, it permits Grajo opportunity to attack by subjugating the human reflex to defend ones self and in turn creating an opening.

This technique creates 6 crows from the 6 slots in his mask which can infect anyone within 15 feet of himself. However the more individuals he is facing the less crows that can affect those people E.G. 6 opponents would mean 1 crow per person, making them less effective. However being against 1 opponent would put 6 crows against them.

This technique lasts for 3 posts and has a 4 post cooldown. However this can only be used 5 times per thread.

[i]


Opponent is Two+ Tiers Lower: The opponent is unable to block out the illusion and will often lose concentration and focus because of this as the crows constantly get the drop on them.

Opponent is One Tier Lower: The opponent is very wary and tries too keep distance but will still be caught out leaving them open to attack.

Opponent is Equal Tier: The opponent is suspicious but has the sense it is an illusion but may be caught out a few times as a reflex.

Opponent is One Tier Higher: senses the Illusion and can stay more focused brushing aside the crows from time to time.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Higher: the opponent knows that it is an Illusion and is hardly effected at all, hardly losing focus.

Resereccion

• Resereccion Name: devorar esperanza (Translates as 'Devour Hope' .)

• Resereccion Release Phrase: Fly Away, Devorar Esperanza.



• Release Actions: Grajo hold each Katana as he places one blade over the other crossing them at the hilt, making them resemble a pair of Scissors they begin to glow purple. As he he Slides the blades away from each other they explode creating Grajo's Ressereccion Form

• Resereccion Appearance: Grajo is completely covered in hollow white skin with no real overwhelming marks showing. This is meant to represent how fragile and easily stained in blood a human body can be, how weak it may appear. All of the marks that Grajo gains in this form become stains upon the foe. The stains are then transferred to the opponents soul like a disease, feasting on their emotions and compassion until they too are hollow and empty inside. Physically his form is completely bone white and his mask now covers his entire face with a trident shaped outgrowth going up the center and across his forehead and skull.

The other noticeable feature to his Resserecion is his two horns that are approximately 15 inches in length and rise either side of his face. His body is much more skeletal in presence with long slender arms. His muscle tone stays relatively the same but without his clothes covering him he shows how slender he really is. His Hollow hole still stays in the same place, however his Resserecion also gives him wings at over 15 feet from wing tip to wing tip. They are frayed and torn on the bottoms and resemble a bats wings as they are leathery to the touch.

For Grajo's weapon, it is a 10 feet long twin edged scythe. The grip and length of the scythe is 10 feet long but the extent of the two blades make it 12 feet wide in length. The blades themselves are long and slender with two spines that reach out from the top of the scythe. The design itself seems very gothic and more like a glorified death scythe to an opponent but all in all it is extremely effective.



• Resereccion Abilities:

•maldición de los cuervos ('curse of Crows') - Grajo's Resserecion ability is unique as his illusion now becomes much more powerful, as his crows now become 15 identical Grajo's. Able to move and act like him but cause no physical damage, as they are merely a powerful illusion. However they do allow Grajo to blend in and lose his foe and attack in stealth. The Illusion Grajo's are also able to attack but cause no damage, much like his crows from his cantará la desesperación.

The ability is brought about by a toxin that is released from Grajo's mask. As the toxin spreads within the 20 foot radius it infects the opponents senses making them believe that the Grajo's are real. The toxin effects everyone equally regardless of the number of opponents. The toxin allows the Grajo's to attack and cause the opponent to feel as if they have actually been cut, sliced, damaged in whatever manner it may appear. When in truth it was all an illusion. However once the toxin evaporates at the end of the duration they realise they have not been injured at all unless by the true Grajo.

This illusion can induce anyone in a within 20 feet or Grajo and is created in 1 post, lasting for 5 posts with a 8 post cooldown and can only be used 4 times per thread.

• Viento Gritando ('Screaming Wind') - This technique is caused by Grajo's wings. As he spirals from the air his wings explode two giant black and malicious torrents of black flame that spiral into 20 feet fire tornadoes incinerating everything and anything stupid enough to stand in its path whilst also disorienting or injuring the enemy.

The ability can be used once per post and has a 3 post cooldown. It may be used 10 times per thread.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Lower: Opponents can rarely dodge this attack and if hit the black flames will cause 3rd degree burns and will ignite clothing.

Opponent is One Tier Lower: Opponents can possibly dodge this attack and if hit, the black flames will cause severe burns and will probably ignite clothing.

Opponent is Equal Tier: Opponents can dodge this attack, but if hit by the black flames they will receive moderate degree of burning and clothing could ignite.

Opponent is One Tier Higher: Opponents can easily dodge this attack but if hit by the black flames they receive small burns and clothes hardly ignite.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Higher: Opponents can easily dodge this attack but if hit they will receive a burn similar to hot water and clothes will not ignite.

• Luna Azul ('Blue Moon') - This is done by swinging his scythe in a crescent moon shape and firing deep Purple Reiatsu at the enemy in the shape of a crescent moon. It often comes out at around 15 feet tall as it is fired and can reach 20 feet away.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Lower: The opponent can hardly dodge the attack but if hit will also get one severe cut requiring stitches or worse.

Opponent is One Tier Lower: The opponent could dodge it but if not they will be hit with one severe cut that would require potential stitches.

Opponent is Equal Tier: The opponent would be able to dodge but if hit they would receive a deep wound.

Opponent is One Tier Higher: The opponent can easily dodge this but if not they receive a cut that would stop bleeding in time.

Opponent is Two+ Tiers Higher: The opponent can easily dodge but if hit they receive a small gash or cut at best.
