» Titles: N/A
» Appearance Age: 17
» True Age: 65

» Appearance Description: Malkiov is a rather frail pale boy. His body is mostly effeminate, and lacks muscle tone, for most of his life he has been rather sickly and scrawny half starved and meek. He keeps himself very clean, and for the most part he just looks like a frail teenager to most people.

He has wide blue eyes with thin lips and a small nose making his eyes seem even bigger. He has a low set cheek bones and a very sharp collar bone thanks to his frail looks. He has youthful blond hair that he keeps at shoulder length however since it remains tied up in a short tail it's true length and messiness is rarely shown off.

» Personality: Malkiov is a person trying to re invent himself. He is hopeful, and young, but due to his age he is completely inexperienced and willing to throw himself into situations that he has no idea how to work around. He has little to no ego, having been broken one to many times and has only recently started his path to recovery. For most of his life he has believed that his best is just a little bit below everyone else's average.

Despite this belief that he is by all means inferior to everyone when set to task he has never backed down. In the back of his mind he really wants to be wrong about it, and so will spend hours if not days trying to complete his work to the best of his ability. Be it a simple puzzle or a much larger problem he will work through it come hell or high water. Determined to prove himself wrong, however this is a slow process, one that comes with a single step forward and a million steps back.

In many ways Malkiov is his own worst enemy, and that can be hard to deal with, however for all his self doubt he has plenty of optimism, this is after all his rebirth in many ways. Learning is a long road, and that can take many life times. He is neither cowardly nor arrogant, however he is willing to spend his time recklessly persuing the wrong answers with reckless abandon. He may just be the greatest fuck up the spirit world will ever see.

» Zanpakutō Name: N/A

» Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: Malkiov's Zanpakutō spirit is a young woman, not much older then him. She is elegant with long flowing hair, and while she looks scrawny and cute she is probably more blood thirsty then even his inner hollow. She is an ill tempered blue haired goddess, with light blue eyes to match, when ever she appears she is always bathed in an odd glowing light which along with her skin complexion makes her seem all the more enchanting.

Spoiler:

» Zanpakutō Spirit Personality: Malkiov's Zanpakutō spirit refuses to work with him. She views Malkiov as an insult, and thus has disassociated himself with Malkiov to the point where has never even appeared before the young Vizard. He is of the firm belief that Malkiov needs to solve his problems on his own and without the aid of his weapon. Needing to prove that he isn't needed before he can loan him his power.

Aside from the firm hands off approach that the spirit provides he does often speak to their other half. The Zanpakutō spirit and Malkiov's inner hollow actually work together a lot of the time to sustain Malkiovs inner world. He is of the firm belief that if Malkiov really needed his shikai or even bankai then the young vizard should simply take it without the need for asking, only after he proves he doesn't need it will he share his name with Malkiov.

» Inner World: an old swamp with little to no structor to it. The trees are all interconnected through muddy water's and ancient roots and vines. there are little to no sounds here, and the only light that enters is heavily shadowed and filtered by the grand trees that spread out all around it. It is a haunting beautiful place in which nature has overgrown and flourished to the point at which it threatens to strangle even its self.

Spoiler:

Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: In it's sealed state Malkiov's Zanpakutō is oddly unique in that the spirit steel that makes it is a crimson red. He has wrapped the handle in black leather strips. The blade is aside from it's color a standard Katana in size and shape.

» Inner Hollow Description: Malkiov's inner hollow is a taller man, with pale almost translucent skin. His hair is a stark white, and his eye is black with yellow Iris. The sides of his head give him two curved horns not unlike those of a ram or goat. He covers himself in a reverse of the shinigami uniform, an outfit that neither of them have earned yet. He is much older then Malkiov, and taller as he stands in at 6'7" and holds himself with the height and breath that you would expect from someone who lives with a stick up their ass. He only has one eye, the other being covered with a patch.

Spoiler:

» Inner Hollow Personality: In many ways Malkiov's inner hollow is a teacher. The hollow has taken ownership over the pathetic mess that is Malkiov and their relationship is one of a teacher and a student. Not because Malkiov impresses the hollow far from it actually. Malkiov's inner hollow protects and teaches him so that when they do have their climatic battle that will decide the fate of his life it will in his words "last more then 3 seconds." He is someone who thrives not just for a fight but a fair fight and to take advantage of his students inexperience in combat would be incredibly unfair to him. As such the inner hollow is determined to pass on everything that he can too Malkiov before he tries to kill him and take his body.

Out of the two spirits inside Malkiov's soul the inner hollow is by far the nicer of the two 'teachers' he could have had. While the man still holds a firm back hand when it comes to his student, he is willing to sit and talk, and on most cases even work with him to teach him. He has a much kinder hands on approach to explaining the world and spiritual powers, and if the day comes that they do have their fair and true battle and he were to loose, then at least he could feel pride that his student would have learned something useful between them.

» Inner Hollow Powers:

Cero-point blade: Taking the destructive energy of a Cero and wrapping it around his Zanpakutō, he creates a high energy field around the blade super heating the spirit steel. The blade becomes charged with heat and energy causing it glow a deep red, the chaotic nature of the energy warps around the blade, the energy can shrink, extend and burn what it touches. however this also weakens the spirit steel, and because the energy is explosive in nature it can very easily shatter and detonate if it is forced on the defensive.

Bala-splosion: A high impact punch that forms the ball of energy mid swing detonating at the moment the fist hits the enemy. Adding a high powered explosion to the punch.

» Hollow Mask Appearance: Like the hollow he gets it from the mask has two horns, and only one eye. It's color is blue on white, and it ends at the upper lip leaving his lower jaw uncovered. The mask is not fragmented but rather connected to the horns through small strands of white bone that slide under Malkiov's long blond hair, the horns unlike his hollow which spread outward, go downward almost giving them the appearance of tusks.

» Background: Malkiov was born under another name altogether, the bastard son of a Vizard and a woman from the rukongai who was taken advantage of. Malkiov was born sickly and never really recovered. He spent most of his early childhood bed ridden for one reason or another, kept warm as he was too weak to really interact with anyone. When he did finally get well enough to work around the Rukongai the work he was kept far away from the rich districts (as those were closer to the sarietei and thus closer to the people who assaulted his mother.)

He wasn't raised to hate the shinigami but he was raised with a superstitious level of paranoia when it came to them. His mother was always afraid that he would get recruited and thus taken away from her. However the poverty also meant that things like food were a rare commodity which is great for most spirits who don't need to eat, for people like Takumi who was constantly ill and hungry it was hell.

Eventually his own needs eclipsed what his mother could provide for him, and so he used the few things he had to his advantage becoming a servant in many ways to many people. However the life he crafted for himself only seemed to create a downward spiral that he could not comfortably escape from. Often drunk and often used his life had lost what little meaning he could allow for himself.

Eventually recruitment became the only option he could physically allow. Arriving at the acadamy he crafted a new name for himself basically off the top of his head. A mix of language and words that he just thought looked good on paper. He has worked to re invent himself from the young servant and drunk he often was. However the acadamy has not been the best place for him.

The son of a vizard he had known his inner hollow for years before coming into the acadamy, but before the voices in his head had only ever scared him. Now the inner hollow is actively trying to teach him. His power seems to be drawn mostly from his inner hollow as his Zanpakutō spirit completely refuses to work with him for one reasons or another. Ever since becoming a student in the academy he has shown little steps of improvement, and plenty of natural intelligence. However he is a young spirit, and often refuses to see the progresses he makes as a good thing. As with most youths every step forward can often lead to several dozens of steps backwards.

» Role Play Sample: [The following is from an RP from another site I am on where I am currently playing Bolin and Tenzin in an avatar rp. Though the original rp is an adult 18+ thread, the following content has been edited to remove the more questionable content (I removed the last para of the original post)]

Tenzin felt odd about the new information he was given. Korra wanted to go off and relearn the elements while traveling the world. It wasn't unlike the journey his father had taken many years ago, but to just send off the avatar on her own.

"Korra..." He was about to say he was against this however this was a direct order from Aang... Tenzin's own father. Tenzin took a deep breath trying to remain in some level of control.

"I'm gonna ask that you be safe about this." He said finally

Somehow along the line Bolin had just fallen out of the loop with everyone else. While it wasn't in his nature to hold any grudges with people he had felt like people had been keeping him at arms length for a little while now. Mako's actions had created a divide between Korra and Asami which had in turn affected him negatively. As much as he wanted to defend his older brother he couldn't help but think that saying anything to an angry Asami would be devastating to his own health, and with all that Korra was going through well in truth he didn't want to defend his brothers actions to Korra.

At some point Bolin's own feelings for the avatar had caused a kind of rift between him and his brother. Bolin and Mako haven't really tried to talk things out, and in the end it had made him feel at odds with everyone in Republic City. As Korra went to talk with Tenzin, Mako pulled Bolin aside they needed to have some kind of conversation, but what he got was not what he was expecting.

"Hey uhm Bro... I think I'm quitting the team."

Bolin blinked for a moment he didn't know what Mako was talking about, then he remembered back to before all of the city was put on fire by the revolution to what had started their association with the avatar in the first place, and even how they had met Asami. The Fire Ferrets. Bolin felt an odd lump in his throat. "What why!? I mean Mako I know that things are tough right now, but they will rebuild the stadium. We were at the finals last year that was better then we ever did before, One more year and we could seriously win!"

It wasn't just the promise of winning big it was holding onto the last thing that he still had with his friends. The revolution was over, and his biggest fear was that everyone was just going to go in seperate directions and suddenly he was going to be left alone.

"I can't Bolin... Lin's offered me a chance to make something of myself to help the city. I'm gonna take it, and join her police force."

"Well if that's how you feel then me and Pabu won't stop you." Bolin was just lost for a moment He slumped down for a second and his eyes told the story for him. He didn't want to have to part ways with his brother, but considering all that happened it was probably for the best.

Bolin returned to the group in time to hear Korra's plan of traveling the world, and was quick to realize that his worst nightmare was coming true before his very eyes. This was the death of team avatar! Looking around the room he could feel it, Asami and Mako were going to stay in the city, Tenzin needed to work with the city council to help restore everything to power after the attack. So Bolin jumped to his feet raising his hand he pretty much shouted at the room. "I'm going with you!"

He walked up to Korra unsure if she would even want him around, but gave a small smile wanting to hold onto the few people he had in his life. "Your gonna need an earth bending teacher right? I can submit my resume for you if you want."

Tenzin watched as Asami left back to her home, and Korra and Bolin departed to make final preparations on their new found journey. Mako was already gone leaving with Lin Beifong to make everyhting official, and soon his house was quiet again. At least as quiet as it got with four air bending children. Pema walked up to him and handed him the box, recognizing a few of the items as things his father owned he let out a rather happy sigh. Each one of them had an emotional value to him, but he thought they had vanished long ago. "Do you mind watching the kids for a moment while I go find Asami to thank her for this. It feels a little too selfish to not give her my thanks personally"
