______________________________________________

» Name: Romulus Bison
» Titles: The Last WIll of Central 46, Onslaught, The Arbiter.
» Appearance Age: 35
» True Age:3500
» Gender: Male
Affiliation/Rank: Gotei 13, Captain of Squad 7.

» Appearance Description: Romulus is an oustanding specimen as far as members of the Soul Society go. He stands north of 9' tall and weighs well over 500lbs, of high density musculature and skeletal structure.He wears a traditional Shihakushō, and while not donning white over-coat of a captain, he wears an over-coat of very prodigious dimensions of Red or black coloration, with the symbol for "Power" on the back. However whenever on official business, or in battle, he wears the traditional white over coat of a captain with the appropriate symbol affixed on his back. Aramand has crimson colored hair,the likes of which is always worn in a ponytail that runs the entire length of his height, remarkably his hair is composed of a fine, mallable, thin, pristine metal exact in composition to the metal found in his Zanpaktou.

His build is solid, very toned and defined, and for the most part the picture of perfect physical conditioning, bearing no marks or scars whatsoever. His face has very defined features, notably a piercing stare with crimson colored eyes, and deeply furrowed bushy brows. On occasion, actually quite often, he will wear a very wide brimmed, red straw hat (Much like traditional Japanese Straw Hats) and almost never takes it off.

» Personality: Romulus isn't highly socialized but for the most part is a calm and reserved individual. Romulus' is ambitious, though most if not all of those ambitious involve and revolve around the ideals of the Gotei 13. He takes the responsibilities of a Shinigami VERY seriously, and does not care for or entertain much outside of that. The only time he seems to break the stride of his normal personality traits is in the presence of a large power source.This is absolutely thrilling to him, and speaks to his nature of being drawn to things of magnitude to devour. In the presence of great power sources, or powerful people his personality, much like his actual self becomes somewhat animated.

Ironically in the presence of weak or dismall sources of power he pays it/them almost no attention at all. His personality traits are infact closer to norm in this case as his nature is over-riding the normal discipline he displays. Still, the few things he does have interest in, are open avenues of communication and windows to his soul, and perhaps means of befriending the otherwise focused, devout that is Romulus.

» Zanpakutō Name: Harumagedon

» Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: Harumagedon's appearance, unlike most Zanpaktou is not akin to Romulus at all. He stands even taller (Easily 13'), and is totally black, Bi-Pedal with a tail, a massive body structure, with large hands and feet with claws at the tips of each of his digits. He has long, spiky hair, running down to the floor with glowing red eyes. His entire appearance is one of shadow, he has no facial features (Such as a mouth to speak), although boasts a voice that resonates with the tone of 100-tenors and 100-baritones.

» Zanpakutō Spirit Personality: Harumagedon is by nature and intent, destructive. While most Zanpaktou have no clear defined personality, Harumagedon relishes in destruction and quite often pushes or suggests things of an aligning aintent to Romulus. Being that Harumagedon, was CREATED, with accumulated spiritual content and power of almost every documented Shinigami ever to function under the Soul Society, As was the Soul of Romulus, he is quite rebellious, quite often fighting the natural programming set at his and Romulus creation, for his own personal aspirations. It is unclear as to whether Harumagedon is outright evil, what is clear that should he is a destructive Zanpaktou Spirit with very little value on life outside of his other half.

» Inner World: Romulus' Inner world always mirrors his current surroundings, however it is a cold variant. Frost Bitten, Arctic conditions constantly plague the surrounding area. The skies are grey, with no apparent sunlight or source of warmth. Where there isn't snow, there is ice. Where there isn't Ice, there is numbing cold. Oddly there is a constant "Blue" hue present ever where, and there is a steady, chilling wind constantly blowing and sweeping across the lands.

Life is limited and scarce there, however, large, lumbering beings of solid ice can be found scarcely wandering the Inner World, and are extensions of Harumagedons will and intent. Oddly enough Ice is NOT an element of Harumagedons expression, it merely symbolizes the nature of the Zanpaktou spirits heart, devoid of the warmth of compassion and understanding.

Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: Romlulus' Zanpakutō in it's sealed state is a Very Long, and Large Nodachi, of a Masmune design. Its almost as long as he is tall (8.5' Long from Blade tip to end of hilt), with a black sheathe. The Hilt is also Black and ornate, with a set of Reshi-Beads hanging from the tip. Romulus' blade is dual edged, with a full front side edge, and the back-edge of the sword having an edge running 3/4 the length of the blade. This is to facilitate the use of Romulus' sword style.

Sealed Zanpaktou Abilities: Solenoid Function: Romulus' physiology has him in a constant state of Absorbing, Massing and Converting matter. This incoming matter can be in varying states, and types with the limitation that Romulus is currently unable to process Organic Matter (living beings, other shinigami ect). Traditionally Romulus feeds constantly on Free Flowing Spiritual Energy, and can either chose to Localize it, in the form of an electromagnetic aura (Center it around him externally, trickling it into his own personal reserves) or Add it directly to his own.] With in inactive Shikai, his body naturally stockpiles converted matter, a trickle feed like the current will continue upping his Collective Energy pool and attributes up to x3 his base over the course of 5 Turns in which he'd have reached his Saturation point.

Molecular Force - Using his ability to manipulate the energy he absorbs or within his personal reserve, Romlulus will punch a localized area in front of him and force the electrons in that area apart from one another. In a sense he is splitting the BONDS of said atoms not the atoms themselves! As you can guess the force attributed to such an event is substantial, and is directed specifically at a target, bombarding them with raw Force, heat and stray electrical discharges within a blast that's a fraction the power of the blast created from a high yield nuclear bomb.

This ultimately requires cool down periods between usage ( 3 turns), namely due to the need for electron stabilization in the area before he can do it again. ANY effort resulting in greater force then base will ultimately require more energy from Romulus' personal reserve, and tax him appreciably.

Index Incision - Romulus swings his finger with such force that it creates a wedge of cutting air, at it's strongest capable of heavily damaging the Armor of Arrancar, and outright cutting low level beings in half. A heating element comes into play when he mixes energy into the shaped projectile, vastly bolstering it's attack power and lethality.

As a result of it's usage, Romulus often has to wait for the air within the area to re-stabilize in order for him to use it again resulting in a cool-down period of (2-Turns) before he's able to execute the manuver again.

Regeneration - At the cost of sufficient energy, or by Absorbing a LARGE quantity of ambient matter/energy, Romulus can repair injuries on his person. This process literally takes his S2 function in reverse as energy he has Absorbed, Massed, converted and stored, is released, converted and re-distributed as something else, in this case ORGANICS, allowing him to repair bodily injury of a minor-to-moderate scale (within 1 turn), while HEAVY damage will require 1 turn of massing energy (Or putting his reserves into function) and 1 turn to recover the injury in full (2 turns total).

» Release Phrase: "Harumagedon.....end all things."

» Shikai Appearance: Harumagedon's appearance only changes some. The blade boasts a significant increase in it's width (Flat side), and the lusterous finish changes for that of an Flat-Black Blade. The Blade at this point is a constant state of absorption. It literally seethes with Spiritual energy in lightning form, constantly arcing and discharging, the likes of which becomes more and more active the longer the Shikai is active.

» Shikai Abilities: Romulus's Body, is in a constant "Reactor" state. His body absorbs, masses and Converts ambient matter of any form into Energy for his own personal use be it to power his innate functions or to externally use offensively or defensively. His Sword has the exact same talent, however it becomes active when in Shikai state, causing the sword to begin absorbing, massing and converting ambient matter to be stored as Energy for Romulus' use.

As expected, matter (Energy of any kind or solid state matter) projected at him can be converted into energy upon touching the blade. This allows Romulus to absorb incoming attacks, be they of energy form, and solid state attacks (Rocks, or other in organic or organic material) are absorbed outright. Typically when Romulus cuts an object the sword isn't CUTTING that object per-say, it's more so CONVERTING and ABSORBING the mass of that object as it travels through it. When clashing with other Zanpaktou this can result in the Spiritual PRessure of another user being drained over time (But not the destruction of the Zanpakotu), the same goes for slashing the body of a Shinigami, Arrancar, vizard and so forth (Will cast actual energy AND take spiritual energy from an opponent). Typically this would require constant contact with an enemies zanpaktou undisturbed (1 Full Turn), and as expected cutting organic material will yield Romulus nothing.

Lastly, any and all energy taken can be redirected by the sword in the form of massive Energy attacks or area of effect attacks, expressed elementally [He is fond of lightning and fire], or in base form (spiritual energy/reiishi]. While Romulus is capable of exerting energy in a multitude of forms once converted for his personal use, he is LIMITED by his mastery and knowledge of a given spectrum of energy. Complex Energy spectrums (Cosmic radiation, tachyons and the relative) require substantial amounts of effort on his part and drain him appreciably. His Experience with them are limited due to the low-volume in which he encounters them. He is ALSO limted by specific types of energy that are naturally reluctant, or specific, with that stated any energy from WITHOUT those attributes are subject to his power.

Saturation Point: Despite having a large capacity for the amount of energy he can store within himself, and an even greater capacity for what he can isolate around himself externally. Romulus' true limitation comes in the form of a Saturation Point===A point where he can no longer store converted matter as energy. This would be the effective HARD CAP, and his saturation point is based soley on current tier. At this point, literally brimming with power, he would be at his statistical maximum, and remains UNABLE to convert any other matter for any reason, unless first exhausting his reserves. Naturally, elevated states of being will improve raise his saturation point appreciably, particularly in his Bankai state, even more so when donning his Hallow mask. In each respective instance his Saturation point is raised by 100% in his Bankai State (due to the fusion of he and his sword, and overall significantly greater physiological density), and an additional 75% when donning his Hallow mask, this is in addition to saturation point levels at base, in which these greater elevations are based. (Limited by how many turns he can maintain the mask, where as any energy gained during this state will be immediately exhausted once he comes out of it).

In conclusion, Romulus almost never teters close to this point and will exhaust or externally isolate added power to avoid the need to outright, but should prolonged activity above his saturation point will ultimately degrade his physical being, and instability of his molecular structure. This could ultimately cause his body to over-compensate, spiking his conversion abilities and sending them into over-drive causing him to exhaust all of his energy at once---a potentially lethal act for the user and neighboring life forms. Furthermore, Romulus is suject to a state of overheating even before approaching his Saturation point, caused by absoring and converitng to large of a quantity of energy at once, or in systematic instances one after the other. This will ultimately require him a cool down period (2 turns) before his Solenoid functions can resume as normal.


» Bankai Appearance: The Appearance of the sword does not change much, save for the base of the blade nearest the hilt now featuring 3-Large Spheres engraved into it.


» Bankai Abilities:In it's Bankai state the sword's Absorption Rate spikes exponentionally and it's in a constant state of Electromagnetic Dynamism. This is represented by the 1st-Red Sphere which glows at a constant. Furthermore, Romulus' body undergoes a change as well. His skin, Skeleton and muscles all become extremly dense, and metallic, in truth---he takes BECOMES his Zanpaktou. With his entire body now boasting extreme musculature, while harnessing the increasing energy created by converting ambient matter, his Attributes spike significantly. His speed, strength, endurance, durability and powers all incline as a result.

The Second Sphere represents the Bankai'-States limited control over gravity. It's Yellow In coloration, and when active, represents Romulus' current influence over the fundamental force be it to increase it, or lessen it in his immediate area. More specifically, Romulus will increase or decrease the Gravitational prominence within his area to HASTEN or SLOW the approach of objects on his being, OR, hasten or slow his own movements as needed. He can also utilize these abilities in direction. He can pull objects toward him, or send objects away from him at pace. HE can also drastically increase the force of his blows by increasing the gravitational pull on his weapon while swinging it. By Touching an object he can also increase the gravitational pull on an object or person making it hard to move if not outright immovable.

The Third and Final Sphere represents "Force". This sphere represents the Bankai State to exert immense shock-waves. Be it by swinging his sword or physical attacks, Romulus can exert immense shockwaves of pure force, the likes of which having substantial power and intensity behind them. By touching the ground he can exert enough force to create a localized Seismic event (On part with a 9.0 Earthquake or greater, In the World of the Living, Romulus has seperated entire tectonic plates with this power.), or by punching the air in front of him, create an outstanding pressure wave sufficient enough to topple buildings or mountains even at it's greatest effect. By placing his hands ON a person he can impart enough raw force to break every bone in their body and send them flying for miles on end.


_____________________________________________



» Inner Hollow Description: UNLIKE his Zanpaktou spirit, Romulus' inner hollow looks almost exact to Romulus. LIKE his Zanpaktou spirit it was manufactured, along with everything that is Romulus. It's the same height and size as Romulus, but black and white in appearance, and the symbol on it's overcoats back stands for "Humanity".

» Inner Hollow Personality: Romulus' Inner Hollow is a polar opposite to Harumagedon. This is odd. As typically, Hollowfication forces darker attributes onto vizards, Romulus' Hollow is actual a fail safe to keep him in check. The Hollow 's intent is to suppress Harumagedon's and Romulus' destructive nature. It is calm, focused, and contained. It is not chaotic or savage, but DOES have a clear dislike for Shinigami and Arrancar, but a favoring of humans----One of the reasons why Romulus is very interested in the World of the living.)

» Inner Hollow Powers: When Utilizing His Hallow Powers, Romulus' affinity for energy absorption becomes SPECIFIC. He begins exclusively absorbing and massing "Dark Matter and Dark Energy", Elements said to permeate all of existence. His manipulation of these attributes are Polymorphic. He can utilize this energy to facilitate regenerating loss bodily mass, or even pull it FROM OUT and inbetween all matter, breaking down the molecular bonds of an object (Physical, solid, Energy). He can also entrap, or store MASSIVE objects, beings or quantities of energy, within an accumulated mass of Dark-Matter/Energy to various effects.

Typically, being that Dark Matter/Energy is present everywhere and inbetween everything, he can change it's state at will. Allowing him to convert into solid state, creating incomprehensibly HARD and DENSE objects to be used offensively or defensively.

There are draw-backs however.

-After maxing out his duration under hallowfication, Romulus' Solenoid Function goes inactive for 2 turns, as to purge the entirety of the accumulated Dark Matter/Energy absorbed while under hallowfication.

-The Range of his absorption does not exceede a 1/4 sq mile of his location currently, any Dark-matter/Energy beyond that range is inaccessible to him.



» Hollow Mask Appearance: His Hollow Mask is All Black. It has two large horns protruding out the fore-head the likes of which curve downward. The Mouth is composed of large, sharp teeth, and the eyes are brilliant bright red with black Iris's.


_____________________________________________



» Vizard Powers: As a Vizards Romulus' Physical Strength, Speed, Endurance and Stamina are elevated VASTLY above the norm and are variable. His affinity for sensing and using energy offensively and defensively incline as well, and the added ability to convert Dark Matter/Energy for regenerative purposes drastcally bolsters his toughness and survivability. In his VIzard State Romulus is at a proverbial peak, and coincidentally his calmest and most focused, where as the tempermental destructiveness of his base state can make him fairly unpredictable and dangerous.

_____________________________________________



» Background: In the Soul Societies Infancy, new discoveries gave birth to the potential to commit new wrongs. As Races interracted, as did the pooled information on those races create hypothesis', and curiosity. The boundaries of nature were pushed, tried and violated, all in the name of ensuring the Soul Societies survival.

Romulus is the byproduct of sin. The Soul Socities and Central 46's FIRST Experimentation with the powers and spiritual/genetic material of other races. Incubated and contained for 3500 years, Centrals greatest Sin was continuously experimented on and perfected, and kept isolated and secret from all, even the highest ranking members of the Gotei 13, even from the heads of the Research and Development, the likes of which who contributed to the greatest strides in Romulus' development. He was never to be released-----that was until the Great Demon Incursion laid waste to MUCH of what was Central 46 and the Soul Society.

It was toward the END of the incursion, that few stragglers stumbled across the containment area holding Romulus, foolishly setting forth his release---and paying for it with their lives. Programmed to uphold the will of Central 46, with the disciplinary ethics of the Gotei 13, the Soul Societies greatest Sin may turn out to be their greatest weapon in the instrumentation of their revenge.

» Role Play Sample: His prison. His womb. His tomb. The epicenter of where he existed within the proverbial MIDWAY between life and death. Silence had never been this loud. There, floating within the contents of minerals and super-protiens, affixed to the temples of his head, synaptic receivers belaying the contents of his mental state upon the sea-of-screens flanking the container he hovered in. The Air here is cold and still. More so then the sea of marble tile here, plain and devoid of further character, as is the entire tone of the expansive room he presided in at it's center.

He is oblivious to the calamity just beyond his location. Ignorant to the struggle, and the demonic revolution just beyond the cold steel doors that have for several millennia seperated him a TRUE existence, and these trifling invaders, ignorant to the epic event that hovered in the container affixed firmly in a state of stasis. Under their power, eager hands expecting treasures or more lives to claim force open the doors and allow light the halls light to mix with the hues from the electronics idling within the room. They enter, and even through the glass he can feel the vibrations of their cackles and vocalizations.


Foolishly they destroy and raid. Callous intent, laying waste to machine after machine. Explosions and turmoil, Exploding metal, surging wiring, and blipping screens and loud alarms pleading to the ignorant, warning those who don't listen of their demise should they continue on, Poised as they are to dispatch him before he ever gets to see the light of day, he feels an inner gravity. His body, pulled from an inner darkness. An inner world of unbearable cold and biting winds into a state of awareness----as his eyes suddenly open wide and glow wild with anima.


WABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

Smoke fills the halls beyond the room. The roars of the damned, bounce of the walls of those halls, echoing. And within the veil created by that explosion, a set of red eyes can be seen on approach, and the footfalls of a tall, prominent figure could be heard, until the owner stops and stands at the halls largest point!----TAKE HEED! Romulus Bison lives!!
