Heart [APPROVED, 4-3-, HAZARD RANK E]

» Name: Heart
» Age: Unknown
» Gender: Male
» Race: Gillian

» Association: Rogue
» Appearance Written: Because the gillian only recently regained his conscience, he still has many traits that belong to other Menos Grande. For example, being incredible long, the black cloak all over its body and the circle of spikes growing out of his neck.

The things that differ however are “of course” his mask. Instead of the traditional big nosed one, the gillian’s is completely white and its only noticeable features are an forward extended jaw and the fact that it has covered the upper part of the creatures head forming some kind of helmet. The other differences are white flame marks that have taken residence in the lower part of his tattered cloak. And also the monsters hands and feet which have reverted from the creepy, pale long fingered hands and black shoes. And now looked like black bony claws with white sharp nails in the end of each finger like it used to be before the hollow became a gillian.





» Personality: Strong willed. That would be the best way to describe him. It’s a useful trait for a hollow. Not only it helped the creature to take over his menos body but it also assisted him before when the thing he had to fight was the hollows unquenchable hunger.
Besides being a soul consuming abomination the gillian could almost be considered as a genially good guy. Well in comparison to other hollows, at least. He was still good enough to never attack another living person. For him the living did not deserve to lose their chances on a happy life.
He also considered himself a comedic guy. Being funny, at least to himself, was a good way to stay sane as hollow and keep at least some part of his humanity intact.



» History: He didn’t remember his human life. It was probably for the better, though, since any living relatives would just become potential targets of consumption. His first memories were of waking up in the Menos Forest without the slightest idea how he got there. The creature was a bit bigger than a gorilla, with long white arms with the aforementioned black palms. Most of the hollows body was pale, except for his claws and a pair of stubby black dinosaur like legs. Because of those he was forced to keep his balance with the help of his hands like some type of primate. The hollow’s mask looked the same even before he evolved, with the only difference being two sharp spike like horns that had grown out of each side of the mask and were facing the back of his head. The creature also had sharp spikes growing out of his spine, but in the end he looked as generic as a hallo possibly could.
At first he remembered being in some state of a trance. Like the hollow was in control but in the same time wasn’t. Somehow the monster managed to get to world of the living. He didn’t remember what led him to tail a couple of kids on their way to school, but the creature knew that he didn’t like it for a variety of obvious reasons. He remembered feeling envious of the children. The fact that they were alive, while he clearly wasn’t. Somehow that envy turned in to a hunger. The monster wanted to rip them to shreds until there was nothing left. It prepared to attack until a thought or memory popped in its head.
Don’t ever lose your heart.
For a moment he could control himself. Forcefully the hollow went back to Hueco Mundo. There he found a cave in which to hide. Inside the creature sat at the furthest, darkest corner while embracing his body with his long arms. He almost killed a pair of children. The thought traumatized him and so he spent the next following weeks in complete isolation.
After those weeks the hollow was in a critical state. Its body was weak do to starving himself almost to the point of death. During that time the hollows instincts beg him to go and consume at least one human. But he resisted. Somehow the words that appeared in the creatures mind had cursed him in a very particular way. The hollow had been reminded of his humanity and because of it he would better starve himself before consuming a single soul.
That was until something entered its cave. The creature was sleeping that day spreading its malnourished limbs all over the ground and was watching the intruder with one eye while the other was pressed against the caves floor. The invader of his privacy was a hollow that wasn’t bigger than a small dog. It had a lizards body and a mask that resembled ones skull. It was a dummy hollow and it had found something even it could kill. The lizard cautiously walked over to the creatures hand and slowly sniffed it. He found it cute somehow, that is until the small hollow opened its mouth and tore in his hand. The pain and the realization that something was trying to eat him activated some kind of hidden energy reserves in its body and the urges to feed that he was able to successfully repress till now. The hollow quickly got up on its feet and grabbed the little dummy by its neck. More out of instinct than rational thought the creature opened its mouth and bit the lizards head of. It chewed it a few times before swallowing the remains.
He felt a wave of energy pulls through him. Something, which the creature hadn’t experienced in his life. Without hesitation the hollow finished its snack and walked to the caves entrance. He was back in the trance like state. The creature looked at the Menos Forest and its thousands of denizens and was felling the same emotion which he felt when he was stalking those humans. Envy.
Why do they get to live a life free of conscience while I have to starve myself because of it? Cried a thought in his head.
They don’t deserve to live. They don’t deserve this second chance! The only thing they deserve is…
His mind stopped. Suddenly something darker and crueler took his place.
The only thing they deserve IS TO BE DEVOUVERRED!
After that the hollow became a cannibal. At first It attacked those that weren’t in any way special and were alone. The plan worked like a charm for a while until apparently some other hollow had seen the creature during its meal and blabbered it out to other hollows. Because it the creatures life became a bit more complicated. The weaker hollows were constantly moving in packs of at least five to avoid being picked off while the stronger ones had just decided to kill it before it kills them.
One thing was clear. The creature needed to up its game. After many trials and errors the hollow learned to manipulate reishi(of course he didn’t know that it was called that at the time). By absorbing the foreign power in its skin and claws, the hollow was rewarded with an impregnable armor and a pair of sharp weapons that could tear trough anything. Again it went back on the hunt.
The packs of weaker hollows were no match and soon the creature was consuming its fellow kin in even greater numbers than before. It felt like nothing could stop him anymore. He was stronger and smarter than ever. The hollow was even bigger than before. Now being in the exact size and length as a two story building. There was nothing that could stop it…..except its own cockiness.
One day the creature was in a battle with another powerful hollow. It had realized some time ago that eating the weaker bunch of its own kind was not as interesting or rewarding as challenging those with some actual might. He had engaged this particular enemy and hour ago, and it proved to be a bit more challenging than it was expected. During the fight none of the challengers noticed the circle of hollows that were gathered around their battlefield. Only when the first mindless creature interrupted the battle, that he understood that something was terribly wrong. The strong emotion that their prolonged scuffle had radiated was attracting a horde of mindless hollows. All of them had one goal in their minds. To feed.
Even more creatures had joined the fight and then more, and even more, until it wasn’t a fight anymore. It was a feeding frenzy. He was forced to defend against multiple attackers. Killing anything in his sight until even the hollow lost its own sanity to the carnage. The mass slaughter continued for a while. After which a massive light erupted from the swarm hollows cowering them all. After that it formed the shape of a Menos Grande.



» Equipment:



» Racial Abilities:
Red booster: Thanks to his power to manipulate reishi Heart has learned to modify his cero in to a high powered booster that allows him cover long distances in a single blast. The distance depends on how much energy has been imbued in cero, but he never puts too much power into the blast, because past tries have ended with the gillian damaging himself in the process.
This ability however has two backdraws. First that the boost only works in a straight line and doesn’t stop until all the energy in it has run out or Heart has collided with an object in his path. The second is mostly due to the natural drawbacks to the menos – like body. Because of the way it has been built the gillian can only fire it from his mouth. That means that Heart needs to be very sure of what lies behind or suffer the consequences.

Twin mouths: As a way to make up for his crippling speed the gillian has learnt to create two separate gargantas in the same dimension that are linked between each other. What enters one garganta comes out of the other, so it’s mostly used to attack enemies who are separated from him by some distance. However this ability is far from perfect.
It takes four seconds to open one garganta, plus he can’t open them both at the same time. That means that usually takes about eight seconds to link the two portals and about twelve seconds in total to do a basic attack with his fist.



» Hollow Power:
Reishi manipulation: During his time as a pre – gillian hollow Heart had learned to manipulate reishi. He can directly absorb it in his body to achieve slight tweaks to his form, transform the reishi into kinetic energy or use it manipulate his ceros.
These are the following techniques that the hollow has learned concerning reishi manipulation:

Hardening: Similar to a hierro this technique focuses in hardening the reishi bonds in his body to make it more durable. It can be used to turn his skin into something similar to armor that is able to withstand a menos level cero. Or by focusing around his claws making them sharper and perfectly capable of ripping through one of the trees in The Menos Forrest with a single swipe.

Tyrants fist: By infusing reishi in his hand the gillian is able to moderately quickly transform it in to extra kinetic energy which is released when striking a foe. A punch charged up this way can deal massive damage and is even capable of punching through another menoses body with a single attack.

It has some drawbacks tough. A fist infused with this energy will automatically lose its hardening and though the attack is more powerful its speed is equivalent to one which Heart would have if he attempted to punch something underwater.

» Roleplay Sample: It was like he was swimming in a sea of darkness. Nothing was there, yet it also felt so incredibly crowded. Heart tried to move an arm or a leg, but to no avail. The aforementioned limbs just weren’t there. Nothing was. So why did he felt that the space was crowded!?
Suddenly like the mercy of some mysterious god a picture appeared in front of him freeing the creature from the clutches of the void. Well Heart wanted to say picture but it was more like a really bad quality projection. There was a person with blond hair leaning against a table. He was looking down, so it was impossible for the hollow to get a look on his face. Everything was a bit reddish/orangey so Heart presumed that it was the afternoon. Without warning the person lifted his head and faced the onlooker. It was impossible to see any distinctive features in his face and jet he felt weirdly familiar. Slowly the stranger extended his hand towards Heart who to his own surprise felt grabbing it. Without hesitation the blond pulled the hollow in the picture and towards himself.
Heart opened his eyes in the Menos Forrest and saw the spectacle which his new perspective granted him. Everything looked so small. From the other hollows who were running away in mass to the trees now only two times bigger than him and the other Menos around him who were eagerly sloth - pacing away_____wait what was the last par?. Menos!
Even in his biggest cannibalistic murder sprees the hollow was never dumb enough to pick a fight with these gargantuan monstrosities. So why were they around him? And were they running away? Heart watched as the other gillian tumbled away like a bunch of school children who were trying to ditch the creepy kid without looking suspicious.
As the hollow was trying to understand what to do a weird sensation started to torment him. He felt like he was about to sink back in the void. The creature could feel the thousands of other souls trying to pull him back before it was too late for them. Just like with the dummy hollow his instincts took over and the gillian charged towards the closest Menos.
His body was incredibly slow yet faster than the other giants and soon he reached his first meal as a higher being. It grabbed the other gillians body with its black claws and before it could free its self or counterattack, Heart bit in the monsters wide neck and felt the long lost satisfaction of devouring another beings power. The Menos made its trademark scream and tried to break free, but it was to no avail as the grip got only tighter. The last thing this Menos Grande saw was two black eyes staring into its many souls as the attacker opened his mouth and tore an enormous chunk out of its mask. The next following minutes showed an unpleasant sight as Heart consumed the gillian without leaving any evidence of its existence.
