Yavriil Iramasha Character Discussion

Song: I See Fire (Kygo Remix) --- By: Ed Sheeran (Kygo) --- Word Count: 881
I've been advised to take this to the Character Discussion board, so I have--here I go.
SO. I've been developing this new character, Yavriil Iramasha, and after asking a bunch of questions in the Xat, it's been brought to my attention to instead put something here and ask for everyone's help. This has mostly to do with Yavriil's history.
For one, I'd need to point out her age: c.3500. This would mean she was alive before a lot of shit happened, but she's not really going to be involved in any worldy--or otherwordly--affairs in her human life. She was sheltered in a secluded society called "Murim". It's only until she become an iramasha that she really gets involved in shit--but, a brief overview of her history could help bring to light some of the kinks that need to be taken out, to have her background fit into the site's timeline.
First, she became a hollow. After about 500 years she became an adjuchas, and was then changed into a normal soul by an Angel Iramasha. Guided to Soul Society, she lived as a normal soul for a few years. Realising her ability to use chi returned, she began practicing, and a friend recommended becoming a shinigami after seeing her practice martial arts.
Eventually, she became a shinigami and did so for 700 years or so. I guess that would make her one of the first shinigami in gotei 13. After an excursion into hueco mundo, she achieved bankai but killed all her comrades in the process. coming back to SS disgraced, she looked towards the angel iramasha to 'purify her sins' or something. As a result, she became an Angel Iramasha.
the remainder of her life (about 2300 years) was as an Angel Iramasha. Being accustomed to using reiryoku, she had three energy sources at her disposal: chaos, chi, and reiryoku. Being acquainted with the use of chi for so long and being well acquainted with spiritual energy, she quickly grew in recognition. After a while, she became (i'd like to say) head of one of the angel families
After a few centuries, she had achieved her Angel Release. It was similar to her bankai, unfortunately, and ended up killing many people. Luckily, there was a survivor to the incident, Sapphire Iramasha. In that time, Sapphire had applied a sort of seal to Yavriil's power, creating an absolute rule to her power, partially restricting it. It couldn't totally prevent her power's deadliness to allies in the event of her Angel Release activating, but it was able to relieve some of the danger in it.
about 1000 years passed (so I guess she became councilwoman after 900 years or so?) before the Ender Arc occurred. Here, she fought on the front-lines alongside a bunch of other people and stuff. Towards the end, she came across one particularly hard battle, in which she was forced to activate her Angel Release, and for that instance, accept its dangers. Unfortunately, her angelic release had yet to be fully under her control, resulting in the death of many comrades once again.
Feeling gloomy just like she did after the bankai incident, when the war was over she left the Iramasha Clan and passed her position on to Sapphire, going on a 'spiritual pilgrimage' in order to find herself and the necessary power to control this dangerous innate ability of hers. She succeeded in doing the former, especially after meeting a bunch of different people and doing a lot of shit for a little more than a century. The latter is unknown at the moment.
WW3 occurred and Yavriil got involved, returning to the Iramasha Clan and fighting with them once again, though not quite as a former councilwoman but simply a soldier. Of course, she wasn't to be taken as just that and yadda yadda so she was also included and sent on some 'special' missions, blah blah blah. As a result, she revealed her Awakened Divine State and kicked some serious ass. Lucky for her, it was a solo mission and none of her comrades got killed in the process. Overtime, she would learn to control these powers a bit better.
After WW3, she officially returns to the Iramasha Clan and assumes the position of a diplomat. She gets involved in somemore affairs throughout the years, including more recent events such as the Australia War.
NOW. If there are any things in that history which contradict anything in the site's current history, please speak now or hold your peace until you find something.
There are a few questions I'd like to ask as well, that can hopefully be answered.
- The Site's Timeline clearly says that the Gotei was started around 2400-2500 years ago, but it also implies that the gotei existed beforehand. So, what's the deal with that?
- Is there anybody who Yavriil should have relations with based on this history? Is there anyone who WANTS to have relations with her?
- Where's Waldo?
- What Family Head should I apply Yavriil to have been?
- I sent a PM to Frost, but it might be easier for you to read this thread, since it's shorter than the PM. In which case, if the history is cohesive and shit, would this kind of thing be fine? I'm not too well acquainted with the events of WW3, and even less with the Ender Arc, so I don't know if Yavriil's involvment is acceptable or something.
- Anyone have any kickass ideas they think would suit this character? Suggestions are taken into deep consideration.
- Just a note, her main ability is "conversion", in pretty much every sense of the word. She can take almost anything and convert it to something else, whether it was some type of element into another element, her chaos energy into matter, etc. The specifics on the ability as a whole are in the following spoiler:
- Spoiler:
- A unique ability Yavriil possesses is "conversion", in a sense. It's something that has been with her since her human years. If so, then why would it be listed under "Iramasha Powers"? Well, first one has to get into the specifics of what drives this ability.
Yavriil's "conversion" runs off of a unique energy she possesses, different from Chaos Energy, Spiritual Energy, and even Chi. It's something solely she has, something possessed since birth quite likely. This energy can be seen as a kind of water-bottle. Every time Yavriil uses this ability, a bit of the water decreases. The energy used to convert, the water taken from the bottle, is added into whatever she converts.
Now, despite being with her since birth, it's listed under Iramasha Powers. The reason being that this energy tends to connect to the main force she produces, chaos energy in this case, using it as a catalyst to easily convert things. As a result, every conversion also uses a bit of chaos energy, whether outer or inner.
Now, what is this conversion ability limited to, or rather, what specifically can it do? Well, a part of that is dependent on her form. Thinking of it in numbers, in base form this unique--for ease of reference--'conversion energy' would be out of 100. Every time she uses it, it goes to 99/100, 95/100, 90/100, 87/100, etc, with varying conversions taking up various amounts of energy. However, in a higher form, for example, Angelic Release, the conversion energy is reset, and the amount she possesses increases to, say, 1000/1000.
Technically speaking, she can use her conversion ability in it's utmost highest form, but it would take up more conversion energy than her body possesses in base form, which is generally why the extent to which she can use her conversion ability goes is usually considered to be furthered as she rises in form.
Back to the most essential question, what is this ability capable of? What does it do? Well, in its fundamental form, her conversion ability is capable of converting the state of something, into something else. Taking a less complex example, she can convert energy into mass, or mass into energy. This is one of the most basic forms of her conversion ability, as even the human body is capable of turning mass into energy. As a result, this is something that can be done on more of a mass scale, and tends to be the primary function in her usage of the ability. Of course, this isn't to say she can simply take another character and convert their energy into mass or whatever. There are some restrictions to this ability.
In Base form, there are several restrictions. The primary one being the inability to convert other energies into mass besides her own. Outer energy doesn't necessarily count, but is much harder to convert. Furthermore, her conversions can only be done through chaos energy; this would mean that Chi or Reiryoku is not a suitable substitute for any of her conversions.
Another limitation involves souls, actual lives. Things that possess a soul, or something similar, cannot be directly affected by her conversion ability, including things they are linked to. This would means he was incapable of, say, taking a human body and converting that mass into energy.
Another major restriction is the capping of chaos energy. Technically speaking, outer chaos energy can be converted into inner chaos energy through this ability. While it is something possible, there are limits to this as well. Seeing it in numbers, inner chaos energy could be 100/100. Using her conversion ability would turn her chaos energy into 90/90. Tehnically speaking, if her inner chaos energy was, say, 50/100, she could use the conversion energy and end up with 75/75, increasing the inner chaos energy she had at her disposal, however, there are reachable limits in doing this. When the conversion energy and chaos energy is replenished (say, after going into a different form, or when a thread ends), the numbers are reset back to 100/100.
The things this conversion ability is capable of varies in form. At base state, without using any forms, the most she can do is simpler conversions, such as energy into mass and vice versa, or converting the vectors of something. However, there are greater heights this ability is capable of, such as converting entire laws of physics (temporarily, of course), however, the amount of Conversion Energy necessary for such a large-scale conversion is beyond the amount Yavriil possesses in base-form. There are few exceptions, but exceptions nonetheless. Changing the laws of physics in a localized area or to a designated object is far easier and much more possible, such as converting the strength of gravity that affects a specified object. Such a tactic is often used on herself, in what Yavriil likes to call "Float", in which she can freely fly around.
Another limitation to this ability is counteracting other abilities. Theoretically, Yavriil is capable of converting the effects of someone else's ability into something else, such as converting fire generated from reiatsu into water, or the like. There's one large factor which prevents this from happening willy nilly. As stated beforehand, Conversion Energy happens to react poorly with anything but her own Chaos Energy, in most cases, including her Chi and Reiryoku, being completely incompatible. As such, in base form Yavriil is incapable of affecting products of other people's abilities, in most cases. There are few times this is possible in her base form (if this ever DOES happen, it'll be with the permission of the owner of the character, e.g. Yavriil and someone team up, and in one of their tactics, she converts product of her partner's ability into something else, like water to fire).
One of the most common references of this ability is "Alchemy". This ability just so happens to be most relateable to alchemy, even earning her the nickname "Hermes" or other names related to alchemy (Hermes happens to be the god of alchemy). This has earned her respect in many communities, and even made worldly renown as "The Great Sage", or "Sage of the West/East/North/South". While there may have been exaggerations, and much about her has been distorted in some fictional tales and stories appearance and feat-wise, even being documented in some historical books (As this ability has existed with her for 3500 years), she still proves to be the one and only "God of Alchemy".
As in reference to alchemy, there is one restriction on this ability that is constant and absolute: Conversion require the pre-existence of something, and changing it into something else. There must be an equivalent exchange. Nothing cannot become something, and something cannot become nothing. This is one of the few absolutes that apply to this ability.
Anyways, that's all I have for now. I'll constantly update this post and add stuff into it when the need arises. Or delete stuff. Whichever necessary.

Updated some of the shit in the post to account for new ideas taking place. The history is more up-to-date with what I'm intent on doing with Yavriil.
