Hoso Anenokouji: The Bloody Sensualist [APPROVED 4-1]

» Name: Anenokouji Hoso (姉小路細>あねのこうじ ほそ>アネノコジホソ)
» Age: 1,214 years old; appears 20.
» Gender: Female

» Association: Gotei Reformed

» Appearance Written: Anenokouji Hoso is a strange woman. Her stature is approximated 159 centimeters in height, and approximately 68kg in weight. This is because she has an hour-glass body type, the smallest part of her being her waist, while her bosom and buttocks are rather large in contrast; with most of her weight being distributed between her breasts, buttocks, and hips. When Personality-A is in control, Hoso’s hair color is white, and her eye color is burgundy, with a mole resting below the corner of her left eye. But this changes when Personality-B has control over her; you see, Hoso’s hair color and eye color change in accordance to her personality, and demeanor. Her hair becomes a dark, glossy black, and her eye color transitions from burgundy to a bright, sparkling blue. The physical trait that is always there regardless of the Personality in control of her at the time, is a large, x-shaped scar across the woman’s chest, extending from her clavicles, through her cleavage, to beneath her breasts.

» Personality:Hoso’s personality is two sided; the second personality takes over nearly half of the time, so you never really know what you’re going to get with her.

Personality-A’s components:

♦ The Healer Archetype: More often than not, Hoso is friendly, sympathetic, and concerned. She is kindly, generous, cooperative, forgiving, willing to share of what she has, and conforms in ways that contribute to the general well-being of others. She’s prudent, careful, and naturally contains a conscience.

♦ The Hardworker Archetype: Being a hard worker, through her own tough experiences, Hoso has a lot of empathy for other people. She knows what it’s like to do without, and is compassionate and understanding with others.

♦ The Can-Do Archetype: She is bold. When confronted by obstacles, she breaks through them. Hardships don't easily overwhelm Hoso, nor does work when it involves great danger. Hoso is someone you can turn to for empowerment, and protection. She’s persistent and intense; with natural drive. Hoso is assertive when she needs to be, and often is laid-back; for she is stoic, can take pain, and handle major adversity well.

Personality-B’s components:

♦ The Sadist Archetype: Hoso is a savage predator, who enjoys cruelty for her own sake. Violence and psychological brutality are games to Hoso; and she plays those games with daring and skill. She gives people what she thinks they deserve. Charisma allows Hoso to lure her victims to their own destruction. Her ability to discover moral weaknesses in others serves her well.

♦ The Opportunist Archetype: She goes after anyone and anything she wants, and she wants a lot; though she does her best to make the victim want to be deceived. Like a poisonous vine, she collaborates for her own comfort. She goes along with any atrocity, so long as her own security is assured. Hoso does wrong in the name of good. She justifies her action by her intent, and merely shrugs her shoulders at the collateral damage. Anyone not an ally is an enemy, and therefore, fair game to her.

♦ The Sensualist Archetype: Sensualists pursue enjoyment through physical experiences. In the case of this sensualist, Hoso becomes sexually aroused by imagining massacred bodies and tearing someone apart; she loves blood, and will do absolutely anything to satiate her lust for it. The taste, smell, and sight of blood makes Hoso hot and bothered, and she’s beyond enamored when she sees blades cross in the heat of a good battle.

♦ The Ruthless Archetype: Hoso serves a warped code of honor. She’s self-righteous, believes in her own virtue, and judges all around her by a strict set of her own laws. The end will always justify her nefarious means, and no conventional morality will give her pause.




» History: Hoso Anenokouji was born in the 80th district of North Rukongai. Given that the girl has been mentally unstable since quite a young age, and her living conditions were deplorable, Hoso found herself often committing theft in the nicer districts of North Rukongai, mostly stealing food and valubles that she could sell for decent coin. This caused Hoso's morals to skew early in life, furthering her dissociative state. As she grew older, Hoso began working for the local gangs within the outer districts of Rukongai, where she would be hired by the syndicates to dispose of anyone who gave them trouble, or threatened their existence; because of this, Anenokouji Hoso developed a thirst for blood, so much so, that it physically pleasured her and aroused her.

Hoso's sadism caused her to become notorious among the outer districts of Rukongai for her acts of violence, which gradually escalated to forms of sexual murder, where the scenes of her crimes would often be splattered with blood, and well... other bodily fluids. Being a self-righteous woman, Hoso often prided herself in her morals, or lack thereof, and claimed that she was always above the law; but that was soon to end for her. Unohana Retsu of the 4th Court Guard Squad had caught wind of Hoso's atrocities, and sought to meet with her. Hoso didn't quite know what to think when she was summoned; but she noted how delectable Unohana's flesh looked. She craved it. Captain Unohana noticed Hoso's change in personality, as she herself was a criminal before she became a Shinigami; so she was very quick to offer the girl something of immense value that she knew Hoso wouldn't be able to resist with her opportunistic tendencies: knowledge. Captain Unohana took Hoso under her wing, training her in the art of kaidou, which Hoso excelled at almost immediately. Hoso remained under Unohana's tutelage until her death. Hoso's first personality, deemed Personality-A decided that she too was going to become a Shinigami like her beloved mentor; and her second personality, deemed Personality-B, decided that she was going to take pleasure in exacting revenge for her beloved mentor's death. Now, in 2416, Hoso is preparing to climb the ladder that is the Gotei Reformed, and she intends to do whatever she has to in order to achieve her goal.



» Equipment: N/A



» Racial Abilities:

Vast Medical Knowledge: Hoso studied in secret without the open resources of the Shin'ō Academy, memorizing every scroll she read. Over her 1,200-year lifespan so far, Hoso's encyclopedic knowledge of medical subjects allows her to respond to all manner of emergencies within the Seireitei, and Soul Society itself. Hoso is a fine medical Shinigami, able to diagnose and treat a vast array of conditions and injuries with her long-time expertise.

Kidō: Anenokouji is known not only for her knowledge and physical skills in medicine, but also for her finesse in kaidō. With the ability to manipulate her powerful Reiatsu, she can fortify the spiritual energy of her patients, enabling them to heal themselves at an accelerated rate. For instance, there have been many situations where she has revived subjects from the brink of death with this accelerated healing. As her main focus is primarily in kaidō, Hoso is also proficient in bakudō and hadō, preferring hadō unless it’s absolutely necessary for her to use bakudō. Given her kidō prowess, Hoso has the ability to cast the a limited amount spells without reciting any incantations.

Zanjutsu: Hoso wields the nagamaki named Reikonshoumetsu; her eccentric zanpakutō manifested due to the sheer force of will by the young Anenokouji with her lust for battle and bloodshed. Taking note from her mentor’s styles, Anenokouji Hoso wields her heavy nagamaki entirely with her right hand, a trait that is often memorable to her foes, while focusing on her sword art instead of her worrying about defending herself. With her left arm, she presents false openings, she focuses her right side towards her opponents; minimizing her exposure to wounds. In battle, Hoso's capable of killing and disable her foes with slashes to the vital organs or major arteries. Severing limbs is her favorite blow to deal to her opponents, as it makes her tingle watching flesh be torn away from the muscle and bone as tendons are severed; and her favorite battle setting is group combat, as the difficulty for her is raised, and she can spill the most amount of blood in one fell-swoop.



» Zanpakutô Name: 霊魂消滅 Reikonshoumetsu
» Zanpakutô Appearance: The blade of Reikonshoumetsu is 137cm in length, with a tang length of 50 cm, and tsuka length over all of 50.8 cm. The blade’s polish is light, white, and its tsukamaki was onyx, with the hishigame being silver to match the tsuba. The kinko tsuba of the sword was silver, with cut outs on either side of the blade following traditional sayagata; the sukinoshi-mimi was raised above the blade plate, and its tang was kijimomo, tipped with silver kurijiri.

» Sealed Zanpakutô Power: When sealed, Reikonshoumetsu siphons some of Hoso's Reishi off of her, where it then essentially releases it at a high concentration, ergo "sharpening," the blade itself with the particles of Reishi. This causes the laceration damage of the sealed Zanpakutō to increase; a handy feature when the sword is drawn against enemies, or in close quarters combat.




» Shikai Release Phrase: "Puncture, Reikonshoumetsu."

» Shikai Appearance: Reikonshoumetsu's shikai is activated when Hoso vocally activates it. The blade of the nagamaki begins to pulsate, and Hoso's deep crimson Reiatsu begins to swirl around her, strangulating her figure like a boa constrictor captures its prey. This manifested Reiatsu then begins to take the form of a large serpent, with scales as black as night. For every black scale of the serpent, there were two of genuine, pure elemental silver. The onyx serpent, coiled around Hoso, rests its large head upon her left shoulder, with its mouth open, baring its black-stained fangs, from which virulent venom drips. As the Anenokouji woman is a strange one, her shikai is also: for when she speaks, it echoes her speech, in a deep warped tone.

» Shikai Abilities: Reikonshoumetsu's affinity is melee. Its techniques are labeled as "bites," considering that the manifestation of the spirit itself is a serpent. The primary ability of Reikonshoumetsu is lacerating (bleed damage), and toxicity (to be shown below). Given the length of the blade's tsuka and tang, the range and area of effect increases due to the overall reach of it in combat.

一度の噛ま ・ 痺れ "Once bitten, paresthesia": {Duration, 2 posts --> Cooldown, 3 posts} Hoso's spiritual pressure squeezes and constricts the muscles of her foe; inhibiting the stimulation of the nerves beneath them, and narrowing the openings of arteries. This causes temporary numbness of the limbs and muscles of the body for 2 posts, with a cooldown of 3 posts. This ability is not paralyzing, merely numbing, meaning that while the opponent of Hoso feels no sensations, they still have their full range of mobility.

再度の噛ま ・ 神経毒 "Twice bitten, neurotoxin": {Duration, 1 posts --> Cooldown, 4 posts} This ability affects the neurotransmitters in the brain, when Hoso manages to slice or impale her opponent. The blade of Reikonshoumetsu channels some of the Reishi it has stored into a dart like entity that is released on contact with blood and flesh. This entity finds its way into the bloodstream, targetting the dopamine pathways that regulate and modulate the perception of pain, creating a pseudo-endorphin instead, causing the opponent to be free of any pain they had been feeling. This ability is dangerous because it potentially causes opponents to become reckless in their endeavors, becoming the catalysts of their own demise, as they begin to bleed profusely. It has a duration of 1 post, with a cooldown rate of 4 posts.

三度の噛ま ・ 細胞毒 "Thrice bitten, cytotoxin": {Duration, .5 post --> Cooldown, 10 posts} Hoso activates the third bite vocally. She gathers her Reishi, condensing it specifically at the tip of Reikonshoumetsu, like a viper's venom. This condensation also enables the length of Reikonshoumetsu to be altered at Hoso's will; shortening by 10 centimeters, or lengthening it by 10 centimeters depending upon how close Hoso is to her opponent. As she would with a surgical lance, or an intravenous needle used for injections, she pierces her target, and anything within the immediate vicinity has Hoso's venom spreading beneath the surface of their flesh, into the lymphatic system. This venom briefly disables the metabolism, penetrating the cells and causing temporary necrosis; while also inflicting immense pain. The duration is .5 posts, meaning that it lasts for no longer than 30 seconds, before it's attacked and dissolved by the antibodies in the immune system of the opponent. It then has a cool down rate of 10 posts, meaning Hoso can only use it sparingly.
