ARRANCAR
GENETICS
Character Name:
Peccatore (surname varies depending on which personality is in control)
Character True Age:
2065
Character Appearance Age:
26
Character Gender:
Male
Orientation:
For now he’s freelancing, but he is thinking about joining the espada. Although what he’ll decide on is anyone’s guess.
Personality:
Peccatore is, for lack of a better word, completely insane, a whackjob, a nutburger, as crazy as crazy can get. The main manifestation of this massive madness is in two forms, bipolar, and multiple-personality. That’s right, he’s got both, or maybe neither, it can be hard to tell. At any rate he definitely has one of these, confused yet?
You see, Peccatore has spent almost all of his hollow life consuming only those that were truly black with sin. The result, he tends to have very strange, very random mood swings, and at times seems to become an entirely different person altogether. Now, when I say he seems to become a completely different person, I mean he becomes a completely different person. We aren’t talking about personality or accent or something like that, I mean everything! His breathing patters, talking patterns, every idiosyncrasy is altered. Technically there are things that stay the same, but generally you gather a bunch of people together there bound to have a few similarities right?
However, it is important to note that there are several “personalities” that appear more commonly than others, usually one of these is in control, with anything else either being very brief change or it could be passed off as a mood swing. The personalities that are most commonly in control are best referred to by the sin they seem to represent the strongest, these personalites are: Corruption, Deceit, War, Pride/Tyranny, and Carnage.
Corruption is one the five personalities usually in control and is perhaps the only one that maintains a slight resemblance to what Rinaldo used to be like. Peccatore Corruption is one of those smooth talkers; you know the kind. The guys with the gilded tongue, they can say anything and make it sound like gold. These are the guys who can make hated enemies, who have each killed or destroyed everything of importance in each other’s lives shake hands and hug…well maybe not quite that good, but you get the idea. Mr. Corruption knows how to talk, he knows how to appeal to people’s desires, he can’t quite read minds but at times it seems like it. Corruption usually prefers to avoid combat, seeing it as a baser activity, he likes pushing people to War or Carnage, but he doesn’t actually like sinking to that level. The reason? Simply, he believes that Corruption is the Master Sin, and above the petty, lesser sins that the Master pushes humans towards. As such, his combat tends to be keeping a distance and neutralizing them with minimal conflict. Corruption’s overarching goal is to consume those that are absolutely filthy with at least one of the fifteen sins, and thus become the physical manifestation of corruption itself.
Next on the list of common personalities is Deceit, the mental manifestation of the sin of lying and spying. If there is one person better than Corruption at reading faces, expressions, and absorbing and remembering information, its Deceit. He absolutely thrives on intrigue, conflict, and…well deceit. He has the uncanny talent of being able to listen to several conversations at once. Deceit can hold a conversation with someone, while at the same time listening to a conversation going on several feet away. He also has the ability to put two and two together, making connections fairly easily. In short, he’s the perfect spy, however there are a few problems. For one thing, he has virtually no combat skills, lets face it spies and politicians are not meant to go swing swords, or maces, or guns or whatever. Additionally, he lacks Corruption’s “gilded tongue”, meaning that he can get some awesome info, but lacks the eloquence to phrase it in a pleasant and soothing way.
Two down and three to go, and the third one to be explained is War. As one would expect, war likes war, and he likes it a lot. It doesn’t matter what kind of war, it can be siege, trench, a whole entire campaign or a guerilla war. It doesn’t matter to him as long as there are armies and they’re fighting each other. Naturally, War has little patience for politics or talking, in fact he finds such things boring and pointless. Why bother with all this manipulation and intrigue? If two or more people have a problem with each other gather some armies and duke it out like commanders! It goes without saying that War is a master tactician, he really knows how to fight. However, he knows group tactics, he knows how to command an army or a squad. His knowledge of close quarters combat is, sadly, merely adequate, many an enemy would find themselves capable of beating him in a one on one fight. Also, he tends to speak his mind without caring for the repercussions or hidden meanings, he says what he means and MEANS IT!
One in the hand is worth three in the bush, and the only reason we need that metaphor is for basic addition. We’re on the fourth of the five main personalities, dear loving Pride/Tyranny. Perhaps the name confuses you, Pride/Tyranny? Well is he Tyranny or is he Pride? The answer is both. Pride/Tyranny shows the traits of both one steeped in the sin of pride and one steeped in the sin of tyranny. Some might then say that clearly Pride and Tyranny must be the same thing or at least closely related. Wrong, a man does not need to be proud to be a tyrant and one does not need to be a tyrant to be proud. One could be entirely meek and still be tyrannical (with some difficulty) and someone with no ambitions for power could easily still be proud. So, then the question becomes, well maybe its two separate personalities who work together? Maybe, but consider this…if someone who is really proud meets someone who is a ruthless tyrant what’s likely to happen? The proud man would obviously be far too proud to bend knee or even neck to the tyrant and the tyrant wouldn’t allow anyone to subvert or ignore his authority. Thus, someone’s head would no longer be attached to their shoulders. Pride and Tyranny are the same personality, thus Pride/Tyranny. As for behavior, well that’s self-explanatory, he’s very proud so he doesn’t surrender or give-in or ask for help. He’s also a tyrant, he demands complete and absolute obedience from those below him. On the one hand, Pride/Tyranny will never surrender and never betray their allies, but they can also botch things up because they won’t ask for help.
Now we reach the last of the BIG FIVE, Carnage. Now, most of us are probably familiar with the word carnage, it’s a fairly common word. It inspires images of bloodshed, violence, and gore. It brings to mind psychopaths like Jason Voorhees, Ted Bundy, or Jack the Ripper. Carnage embodies these mythical beings perfectly, reveling in bloodshed and killing. He doesn’t care what’s going on, so long as someone’s chopping off someone’s head…or arm or leg or even a finger, he’s not picky! Naturally, Carnage is the goto guy among these five for situations dealing with close-combat. He knows how to fight, he doesn’t have any proffessional training, but he has an instinctual cunning for combat. However, he also has a complete lack of regard for his own being, willingly taking hits to give hits. Also, he has virtually no people skills at all, and that’s assuming he even talks. If he’s not killing he’s not interested. Finally, he’s also a bit gullible, large scale tactics aren’t his strongsuit and he can be easily trapped or tricked.
Well, that’s all of them, and I bet I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Damn, with all of these personalities he’s got EEEVERYYYTHANNG! He’s got the walk and the talk, the moves and the grooves, he’s ready to shake, rattle, and ROLL! He’s ready to come on down and do the Texas Stomp AAAALLLLLL over town! But the fact is, he’s not ready. He doesn’t have the walk and the talk, the moves and the grooves, he’s not ready to shake, rattle, and roll. In fact, he’s not even ready to shake. He’s not ready to come on down and do the Texas Stomp all over town. Why? Well for one thing, he can’t even decide if it’s the Texas Stomp he wants to do, maybe he wants to Disco, or Moonwalk, or the Transylvania Twist (not the Tango though because it takes two to Tango). Why isn’t he able to decide? Think of any story, a book, a manga, a movie, think of any group of big bad villains that the protagonist had to face. I guarantee you that at least one or more of the following was present in that group.
One guy who plans to stab everyone in the back and another guy planning to stab that guy in the back for completely unrelated reasons. One guy who absolutely worships the leader guy but hates everyone else. Some other guy who’s obsessed with proving he’s better than everyone else or the hero and often ruins well placed plans or saves the hero for the opportunity to prove it, and a last guy who hates someone so much that he’s willing to betray the whole group just to get that guy…oh yeah and a guy who’s not really evil but joined up just to get a shot at the leader guy. Any of those ringing any bells? Either way, I think you now have an answer as to why they can’t decide whether they want to do the Texas Stomp or not. Yep, you guessed it, these guys just do not get along very well, the only reason there isn’t any backstabbing is because they’re all one person and any backstabbing would require suicide.
Deceit sees War as a barbarian, War sees Deceit as a coward, everyone thinks Carnage is a crazy buffoon who will get them all killed if left unchecked, Pride/Tyranny sees the others as his servants, Corruption thinks of himself as the Master Sin, and everyone else thinks Corruption isn’t even a sin but a catalyst, the thing that allows the “real” sins to come out and shine. In fact, they don’t even have the same goals, Corruption wants them to become the physical manifestation of Corruption, War wants to become the physical manifestation of War, Pride/Tyranny want to rule the world, Deceit wishes to serve the ruler of the world as his spymaster, and Carnage just wants to kill stuff. You’d think Corruption and Deceit would get along, but Deceit doesn’t think Corruption is a sin, and Corruption’s to smart to fall for Deceit’s lies about it. Naturally, if any of them could, they’d take complete control and toss all the others out of their head. Unfortunately, they can’t.
You see, they don’t choose who’s in control, it just happens at random. War might be about to give the signal for some massive, awe-inspiring assault, when suddenly he blanks out and Carnage is in control. Or Carnage might be getting his kill on when suddenly Deceit or Corruption has control thrust upon them. Even better, maybe one of the lesser personalities that usually doesn’t get control and usually not for very long will be left in charge…like say Sloth? Oh yeah, the rest of the fifteen sins are in there, they just aren’t as dominant and in charge as the other ones. Well, except for Chaos, for some reason Chaos doesn’t have its own personality…then again, isn’t all this personality changing a bit…chaotic?
Interesting Fun Fact: Corruption speaks with a Transylvanian Accent, Deceit with a cultured Southern Drawl, War with a heavy German Accent, Pride/Tyranny with a Russian Accent, and Carnage speaks in the third-person.
GENETIC LOOKS
Appearance:
http://www.animecharactersdatabase.com:81/uploads/1873-1235683128.jpg
In the department of physical structure Peccatore has one weird body for a guy. The dark red hair isn’t all that weird, and neither’s his height of 6’ 4”, although that does make him stand out since most people are a lot shorter. What makes him so weird then? Well, his body structure makes him look more like a girl then a guy. His facial structure has the proper shape, size, and eyes(which are a yellowish-green) all give the impression of a girl rather than a guy. What else happens to contribute to that? Well, Peccatore’s build is far from muscular, he’s downright thin and not skeletal thin, it’s the kind of thinness that gives the impression of…curves down where guys should not have curves. His arms just don’t build muscle like a guy’s, and even his legs aren’t shaped like a guys. There is one thing that isn’t feminine, and that’s his teeth, which are very sharp and pointy. This all combines to usually inspire a question when people learn he’s a guy…
Now, in the department of style and clothing things get slightly better. Well, they start off bad but get better. Peccatore keeps that mane of red hair, in a nice long mane of red hair, as in down past his back. Unfortunately this only exacerbates the problem of him looking like a girl. To add to this he wears glasses, and unfortunately the glasses he uses are not the kind you usually see a guy wearing. HE EVEN WEARS EARINGS!! Most likely all the above on appearance is due to Lust, who while she isn’t in control very often, she does tend to have an…effect on everyone else. Fortunately things kind of level out after this, due to the rest of the outfit. Peccatore wears a rather strange modification to the tuxedo. White shirt with a neat vest, red and white striped bowtie, fancy black pants, and shiny leather shoes…and big poofy red sleeves that aren’t attached to a coat of any kind. Finishing this ensemble off is a nice pair of black gloves. Finally, believe it or not, Corruption and Deceit both find this feminine form useful, seeing as how it gives them more undercover opportunities to spy or turn people evil.
Bone Appearance:
Two things show Peccatore’s hollow heritage, first off his hollow hole, located where most people would have a belly button and approximately 4 inches in diameter.
Second, two parallel lengths of bone run up from the base of the back of the skull, where spinal cord meets brain, all the way up along the sides of his jaw to form a frame on the sides of the face. Normally these are covered up by the hair.
Reitsu Colour:
Believe it or not, Peccatore’s reiatsu comes in a rainbow of colors. Each of the big five has a different color, so whoever’s in control has that color showing more, but the other four are there.
Corruption: Dark Purple
Deceit: Dark Grey
Pride/Tyranny: White
War: Red
Carnage: Black
ZANPAKUTÔ
Sealed Zanpakutô:
Peccatore's zanpakuto seems just a little odd, especially considering the fact that its a chainsaw. Then again, considering that Carnage is the one best suited towards close combat (Pride/Tyranny does have some skill but that's another story) its not that odd after all. The chainsaw blade is about three feet long, and a half a foot wide, with a wicked bladed chain. The handle area is a vibrant blood-red while the blade is gunmetal grey.
Racial Abilities:
(Describe the Arrancar's abilities in the sealed state (if applicable). Ulquiorra's eye or Aroniero's ability to transform would be an example of this. Do not over power. All Arrancar are understood to have the six basic abilities. Gran Ray Cero is exclusive to Espada. Cero Oscuras is available to only the top 4 Espada.)
RESSERECCION
Resereccion Name:
Legion
Resereccion Release Phrase:
We are…Legion
Release Actions:
When releasing his zanpakutou Peccatore grabs the blade with both hand and squeezes, slowly pulling his hand apart. The blade stretches and distorts, cracks running up and down its length as Peccatore’s reiatsu seeps out in a swirling cloud. Then with the tortured squeal of metal the blade is ripped into two, after which it shatters and Peccatore’s reiatsu seems to explode, obscuring him from view. When the cloud clears, Peccatore’s released form is standing there.
Resereccion Appearance:
http://lounge.moviecodec.com/images/attachment/monster-x-vs-destroyah-5079.jpg
Any doubts about Peccatore’s gender tend to be rectified when he releases Legion as generally people view the thing he turns into as male. Peccatore’s resereccion form is roughly 8’ 9” in height and weighs around 245 pounds. The form is that of a humanoid monster, the skin made of some shiny black substance, with columns and ridges of polished white bone giving him a unique and intimidated appearance. At the shoulders, there seems to be rising the head of some great beast, but split neatly in half and spread wide. He also gets a tail, longer than he is, reaching about 12 feet in length.
Now, one may be wondering, wait a minute…where’s his face? Arrancar resereccion’s keep the human face! Well the answer is simple, all you need to do is grab the white segment of the head and lift up, voila! The white, skull like section is actually a faceguard, similar to what one would fine in a suit of armor. Beneath that white skull plate is Peccatore’s grinning mug.
Resereccion Abilities:
If there is one thing that the big five of Peccatore’s mind agree on, its that their Resereccion’s power is awesome. You see, Legion grants one broad power, that the arrancar has developed a variety of uses for. They call this ability, Soul Blood, due to its effects and origins.
Soul Blood’s power resides in the blood, Peccatore’s blood to be precise, and has nothing to do with the blood of his opponents. The most basic use for this blood is apparent when as little as a drop falls to the ground. The basic ability of the Soul Blood power is called, “Spawn”. From that drop of blood, a simplistic, organic figure will grow and rise up out of the ground. If Peccatore’s blood is shed without him actually tampering with it then the thing that forms is called a Spawnling and is just a strangely shaped abomination with no real mind, just an intense love of killing.
SPAWN
Pride/Tyranny managed to discover and develop ways to control Spawn, and thus created a variety of different warriors and creatures to summon, these creatures are telepathically linked to Peccatore, as such he can direct them with his mind and see and hear everything they do. However, Peccatore can’t create an infinite amount, there are limits to how much he can create and control. If the maximum number of troops are already on the field he can splash as much of his blood on the ground as he wants and nothing will happen. War was the one who cracked this dilemma, he came up with a “point-system” that determines how much of each unit Peccatore can create. With this formula Peccatore can command and create a force equal to 1,000 “points” if a creature dies, then the point cost is added back to the points available and Peccatore can create more.
War further broke it down by categorizing the creatures that Pride/Tyranny created, into the group of, Basic Troops, Advanced Troops, Elite Units, and Champions. Each Basic Troop costs 1 point to create 1 of that Troop. Advanced Troops require 10 points to create one individual Troop, Elite Units require 100 points to create one individual unit.
Interestingly, the creatures formed do not strain Peccatore’s reiatsu, rather they draw the reishi from the environment around them to form. Thus, Peccatore’s strange limitation is not due to his reiatsu, but some fundamental limit in the ability itself.
Basic Troops
The lower file of Spawn creations, their physical abilities are generally human, and they are suited for only basic tasks. Usually they function as foot soldiers, exploring an area or forming a defensive line. While Basic Troops don’t have any particular special features, they are the most reliable of the troops as they have no special weaknesses either. It takes one post for a Basic Troop of any kind to grow and be ready for use. (Entries: Spearman, Shieldman, Archer, Spawnling)
- Spoiler:
Spearman-The Spearman is a roughly humanoid Troop, standing at 5’ 6” and weighing at 150 pounds. Every Spearman is exactly the same, and each has absolutely no unique features from any other. They appear as a humanoid doll or mannequin, made out of shining black material. The only feature that spearmen possess is a massive eye, taking up the entirety of where their face would go if they had one. Additionally, each Spearman carries a ten foot spear, that looks as if it were constructed of polished bone, with a full foot going to the pointed blade. The spearman is best used in a group, either holding their ground in a defensive line or slowly marching on a position. The spearman also works well in combination with Shieldmen.
Shieldman-The shieldman has a structure that is nearly exactly the same as the spearman. They are the same height, size, shape, and overall appearance of the spearman. There are however, two important differences: first they weigh 250 pounds, making them heavier and slower than the spearman. Second, in place of a spear they have a massive, ridged tower shield of what looks like polished bone. These shields can interlock in a defensive line, and even better, they leave gaps where spearmen can hold their spears through. Like the Spearman the Shieldman has a massive eye in the center of his head.
Archer-The archer has the exact same structure as the Shieldman or the Spearman, however they weigh only 100 pounds, making them slightly more agile. The Archer fulfills a ranged capacity, possessing a four foot long bow that appears to be formed from polished white bone, with stringy sinew as the string. On their back is a quiver filled with what look like bone arrows. Naturally the arrows are susceptible to gravity and have a maximum range of 100 meters. Each archer has 50 arrows, and can be directed to pick up and reuse arrows, if they are intact.
Spawnling-The Spawnling is truly Basic, being the creature formed when no reiatsu is used in the drops of blood. Spawnlings are roughly the size of a dog but can have any amount of features, hooves, paws, talons, normal human feet. The massive jaws, with virtually nothing else, for a head, also signify them. Just beyond the base of the neck is a massive eye, other than that eye the entire Spawnling is black with things like claws and fangs being white like polished bone.
Advanced Troops
The Advanced Troops are where things get interesting, here the units produced start having special abilities and attacks. To be completely honest, Advanced Troops are really just Basics given an upgrade, and in some cases combined together. However, the Advanced Troops section does proved a few new units. Such as the Cavalier and Chameleon.(Entries: Swordmen, cavalier, riflemen, chameleon)
- Spoiler:
Swordmen- The Swordman is a roughly humanoid Troop, standing at 5’ 6” and weighing at 150 pounds. Every Spearman is exactly the same, and each has absolutely no unique features from any other. They appear as a humanoid doll or mannequin, made out of shining black material. The only feature that Swordmen possess is a massive eye, taking up the entirety of where their face would go if they had one. Each swordmen possesses a white buckler, two feet across on their left arm. In their right is a white longsword, the blade being two and a half feet long. The feature that allows the Swordmen to take a place in the Advanced Troops is the level of skill they possess. Although their physical abilities are indistinguishable from normal humans they can wield their sword and shield with a prodigious amount of skill. Making them formidable opponents, however the Swordman is easily overcome by ranged combat.
Cavalier-The cavalier is a calvalry unit, or should I say, the calvalry unit. Cavalier’s appear as the usual humanoid dummy on an equally bland horse black horse. It stands at nine feet and weighs 578 pounds. However, what there is something that stands out, the Cavalier has white ridges of bone along its shoulders, like shoulder guards. As usual the massive eye stands on the head of the Cavalier, but the horse has no such thing as the two are basically the same organism. The cavalier carries a massive, six foot lance, with the tip being a flanged head of polished bone. The Cavalier is used for charges across open ground, and can cover distance incredibly fast, hitting with some truly impressive force. However, the Cavalier is not suited for dogfights and should not be summoned in instances where they will not be able to effectively charge. The Cavalier can reach a max speed of seventy miles per hour.
Rifleman-The rifleman has your usual black mannequin appearance, 5’ 6”, 150 pounds, massive eye in the center of its head. However, the rifleman carries a slim, old-fashioned musket carved from bone. This musket, when fired, launches a bala. Due to the riflemen being a creation of Peccatore, the Bala’s they launch are as powerful as one Peccatore can launch. Each Riflemen has enough power in their bodies to fire 50 bala before they disintegrate.
Chameleon-The chameleon is unique from other Spawn in that its skin comes in a variety of colors. It has the usual humanoid shape, size, height, etc. but its skin is designed to take on the appearance of whatever’s behind it. Making it virtually invisible. Furthurmore, the Chameleon has the ability to walk on walls and ceilings etc. Allowing it to get to positions where not only will it blend in, but people might not look. Next, the chameleon has incredible jumping ability, but not movement speed, allowing it to quickly leap from vantage point to vantage point. The chameleon has the standard massive eye on its face, and unfortunately does not change colors with the rest of the skin. It should also be noted that Chameleon’s make great scouts and spies, but they have no combat ability whatsoever.
Elite Units
While Advanced and Basic Troops generally function better in groups, Elite Units are better suited to more solo roles, or in small pairs. Elite Units start getting some really awesome abilities, ranging from sheer damage resistance, to incredible acrobatic skill. However, Elite Units are often situational in their powers and function poorly in some situations. Elite Units take three posts to grow and be ready for combat. (Entries: Acrobat, Canoneer, Artillery, Bomber, Heavy Infantry, Beholders)
- Spoiler:
Acrobat-The Acrobats stand at six feet and weigh one hundred pounds. They appear as bland, featureless black mannequins with a massive eye set into the forehead. However, at the elbows, where normally one would have the rest of the arm and then the hands, but instead Acrobats have slim curved white blades. The blades are as long as the arm would normally be. Now, the name Acrobat is fairly self-explanatory, these guys are freaking acrobatic! They jump from wall to wall to wall, they flip, tuck, roll, and dance around attacks. They can run along and up walls with ease. These guys are so incredibly skilled and fast that two Acrobats could collide and spin around each other, and the maneuver would cause them to gain altitude like some kind of strange helicopter blade! Acrobats function primarily as guerilla type units or assassins. Quickly jumping and flipping all over the battlefield to take out priority targets identified by Chameleons and other units. However, while the Acrobats are some serious jumpers, they can’t take a hit very well and their lightweight makes it easy to throw them around. As such, battlefields with wide open spaces don’t suit them very well. They prefer mountains, canyons, or cities!
Canoneer- the canoneer has your standard Spawn appearance. Normal height, size, build, eye in the center of their head. However, they weigh 250 pounds, and a large, ribbed cannon of bone has replaced their right arm past the elbow. Now, if the riflemen go from arrows to bala, then clearly the canoneer goes from bala to…can you guess? Ceros! Canoneers fire ceros from their cannons, making them much more powerful than Riflemen. However, they need stable ground and firm footing in order to fire, otherwise they go flying from the force of the cero erupting from their cannon! Each canoneer has enough power to fire ten ceros before they disintegrate.
Artillery- Artillery units appear as massive, beast like creatures. They have vague similarities to Peccatore’s form in his resereccion, but they don’t have legs. Their arms are massive, solid legs that hold them in place quite well, while past the shoulders they taper off to a stubby tail. Artillery Beasts weigh 500 pounds and only stand, well you get the idea, at four feet. However, they aren’t meant to move around. Often using Beholders as spotters Artillery launch powerful shells from their belly. By shells I mean spheres of polished bone a foot in diameter that explode in a fiery rain of shrapnel upon impact. Artillery beasts can fire up to fifty of these shells before they die and can launch the shells up to a full kilometer away. However, their attacks aren’t very accurate (obviously) and they can’t launch a shell farther than fifty meters, as such close combat is a big, BIG issue for them.
Bomber- The bomber appears as the usual black mannequin but seven feet tall and having a massive fat girth. Bombers are suicide bombers, they run (surprisingly fast) towards an enemy and then detonate in a powerful explosion. The thing about Bombers is that they have only one use, and unfortunately have an expiration date. Once they’re full grown Bomber’s have five posts to reach their target, after those five posts are up they detonate no matter where they are. As such, its usually best to make sure you’re going to need the Bombers before you grow them.
Beholders- Beholders are basically a floating blob with a giant eye in the center. Beholders are roughly three feet in diameter and can fly, not very fast but still they can fly. What’s even better is that they fly silently, and can make themselves (eye and all) completely invisible. Beholders make excellent observation posts, stationing them at key locations or having them scan for priority targets. Due to their flight Beholder’s often serve as spotters for Artillery units, giving the Artillery an actual target.
Now the weaknesses of Spawn are both obvious and obscure. The obscure weakness is that most of these things have no real intelligence. Left on their own they can follow basic instructions, but complex tactics and maneuvers require direct intervention. If Peccatore wants to have these guys follow complex plans and tactics, he’ll have to use that telepathic control to direct their actions effectively. While War might be good at that, the others would have problems, and then there’s the problem of numbers. Unless Peccatore sticks with Champions and Elites he’s going to have a lot of units on the field. If he sticks to just Basic and Advanced he could have hundreds. Now here’s my question, even if War is really good at strategy, how’s he going to effectively manage a force that large? The fact is it will be difficult, and at times an enemy might find themselves fending off an incredibly intelligent and powerful assault, and suddenly be facing a vicious, but stupid and clumsy, assault.
The second weakness is more obvious and this one requires the enemy to do something. You know that massive eye that every unit has? Well, while the Spawn don’t react if you chop of their heads or limbs or run them through they will definitely respond if you stab their eyes. How will they react? Quite simply, they disintegrate. If you can jam a sword, spear, energy blast, whatever into their eyes they will disintegrate. The eyes are the one weakness of the soldiers themselves, as they feel no pain and no fear.
(NOTE: In case I didn’t clarify it well enough earlier, 5,000 points is a maximum. If he loses a 100 points worth of units he will have that 100 points back to spend on new ones.)
Spawn has one final important thing of note, it’s a technique called Consume.
Consume- Consume is one of Carnage’s favorite techniques, basically Peccatore eats one of his little soldiers to replenish reiatsu and heal his body. Now, eating one Spearman isn’t going to bring him back to full power and heal all his injuries. Eating a Viking might, but it depends on how bad his injuries are. For healing, one Basic Troop could regenerate a lost limb, an Advanced two limbs, and so on and so forth. As for reiatsu, same thing, with Champion’s restoring nearly 20% of his reiatsu.
[/spoiler]
Telepathic comunication- Since each of the Spawn is connected to Peccatore by means of his mind, he can naturally speak through them. Meaning that if his spawn can get close to someone he can have a conversation with them through the Spawn. Very useful in carrying messages across the battlefield.
Taking Command- At any time Peccatore can take control of one of his Spawn, allowing him to channel all of his power and abilities (except for the SoulBlood abilities) through the creature. Ceros, bala, sonidoe, hierro, you name it the creature has it. Naturally this is useful in that Peccatore can fight at no risk to himself, or so you'd think. In fact when Taking Command Peccatore leaves his body, causing it to collapse and become very, very vulnerable and he also loses the telepathic control over the rest of the Spawn while active. Thus, Peccatore cannot command his army, meaning they go to their basic instincts and intellect. Which is to say mindless killers with no finesse. Furthurmore, althouch Peccatore can leave the Spawn at any time if he is inside the Spawn when it gets destroyed he will be unable to return to his body and command his army for three posts.

PAST
History:
CORRUPTION
1. the act of corrupting or state of being corrupt.
2. moral perversion; depravity.
3. perversion of integrity.
4. corrupt or dishonest proceedings.
5. bribery.
6. debasement or alteration, as of language or a text.
7. a debased form of a word.
8. putrefactive decay; rottenness.
9. any corrupting influence or agency.
As all arrancar and hollows Peccatore once used to be a human. To be exact he was a Romanian Catholic Priest. Unfortunately, Peccatore, or Rinaldo as he was once known, was one of those few born with the ability to see shinigami, hollows, and spirits. Sadly, as Rinaldo grew older he tried unsuccessfully to cope. He tried becoming a priest and using this power to better help understand God's will and rationalize his experiences. Perhaps he might even have been successful, were it not for Toshiro. Toshiro Hatake (not to be confused with Toshiro Hitsugaya) was a very ambitious shinigami.
You see, while Toshiro might have been able to become something over time, he didn't have the patience for that. He wanted recognition, fame, and power now! He figured, what better way to do that then defeat a powerful hollow? His ambition having removed any pesky moral dilemma he decided to capitalize on the struggling priest. He befriended the man, all the while feeding Rinaldo's insanity. With Toshiro, "God's Messenger" Rinaldo devised a list, a list of the deadly sins. Only his did not have seven sins as was normal, no he had fifteen deadly sins, he considered them all horrible, as horrible as the original seven, with one in particular truly horrible.
That sin was Corruption, the sin that no one knew of because no one and everyone had it. Corruption was the Transition Sin, the Master Sin. Corruption was what took innocent hobbies or likes and warped and expanded them to an all-consuming sin such as GREED, LUST, or WAR. If Corruption didn't exist then the sins could not manifest in a person, Corruption was the true source of all evil. Thus the priest hatched a plan with Toshiro. Rinaldo would kill himself, thus becoming a demon (hollow), and then Toshiro would lead him along, consuming those of great evil. Then, when Rinaldo became the true embodiment of corruption he would kill himself or Toshiro would kill him, thus destroying Corruption in its entirety.
CHAOS
1. a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order.
2. any confused, disorderly mass: a chaos of meaningless phrases.
3. the infinity of space or formless matter supposed to have preceded the existence of the ordered universe.
4. ( initial capital letter ) the personification of this in any of several ancient Greek myths.
Enter the new land, as of yet undiscovered by the conquistadores. Where the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incans are still running strong in their empires. Enter the birth of a child, touched by madness due to a fluke of genetics. As he grows older, his culture, the Mayans, can't help but notice this...madness. What they see instead, is a man touched by the gods, allowed to speak their will. So, they make him the equivalent of the pope, for all intents and purposes. Thus did the Chaos truly begin. He'd sacrifice anyone and everyone he could, mothers, pregnant women, new born children, dogs, monkeys, anything and EVERYTHING! Some days he wouldn't sacrifice anything but objects of gold or silver, have them all bury them in the ground or maybe melt them into a molten soup and then DUMP IT IN THE RIVER!!
Toshiro had been looking long for the first sin on the list, Chaos, when he managed to stumble across one of the man's...stranger rituals. I refuse to go into the details, but it was sufficiently shocking for Toshiro to realize that this man was truly black with sin. After a few days investigation he was able to discover it was largely chaos. Thus, did the hollow formerly known as Rinaldo move in, and devour the "priest."
TYRANNY 1. arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority.
2. the government or rule of a tyrant or absolute ruler.
3. a state ruled by a tyrant or absolute ruler.
4. oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of any ruler.
5. undue severity or harshness.
6. a tyrannical act or proceeding.
Now we roam back closer to Rinaldo's home of Europe, destination: Africa. There, far south of Egypt and the area explored during the era of the Roman Empire, we find the wild African tribesmen. Within a few centuries the enslavement will begin, and many of them will be taken from their tribal homes. Now is born an individual of great acclaim, he is beautifully growing into a tall and strong African warrior. He quickly becomes the leader of his tribe, leading them into battle. However, not is all as good as that seems, for he rules his tribe with an iron fist. None of the other males dare stand up to him, and they lack the sophistication for a conspiracy. Years pass and the man's grip only tightens, suffocating his tribe in his tyrannical grip.
Rinaldo again comes as an unlikely savior, led to this man by the nose, he quickly recognizes the man's tyranny...and feasts.
GREED
excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions
We find ourselves in Europe, Great Britain to be precise. There in a mid-sized town a stingy miser lives, counting his coins. He owns half the town, and crushes its citizens with horrid rents and taxes, demanding an arm and a leg, in some cases literally. With his great wealth he is able to convince the authorities to look away, allowing him to run rampant through the streets, driving his victims into poverty and despair. At a slower rate than those above the poor begin to succumb to the man's greed, affected as if by some radiation. They began fighting amongst themselves for trivial amounts of money, greed becoming the focus of all for greed is required to survive.
When Toshiro led his pet hollow to this location, it was not to consume one individual, but to have a feast of Greed! For by the time Rinaldo arrived, most everyone was rife with the sin. The hollow feasted, and the town disappeared.
CARNAGE
1. the slaughter of a great number of people, as in battle; butchery; massacre.
For the first time, Rinaldo finds his own prey, separate from Toshiro and much to the shinigami's anger. Carnage, or the one black with it, was a hollow. This hollow loved killing, maiming, ripping, tearing. He'd go to the human world and grab innocents by the handful and the slowly rip and maim them one by one. Sometimes he woudn't even eat them. All he cared for was blood and death, and it was in this act that he was found by the hollow formerly known as Rinaldo. The two fought, Rinaldo taking a good bit of damage in his first fight ever. In the end though, the hollow was slain, ripped to pieces and consumed by the hollow-priest.
Suffice it to say, Toshiro was not happy, he did not want thing slipping out of his control. More importantly if Rinaldo had lost, Toshiro's chance at fame would fall on its face. He berated and scolded the hollow, threatening Rinaldo that he might fail to realize his goals. Suitably chastened, on the surface, Rinaldo promised never to do it again.
WAR
1. a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air.
2. a state or period of armed hostility or active military operations: The two nations were at war with each other.
3. a contest carried on by force of arms, as in a series of battles or campaigns: the War of 1812.
To the are that conjoins Europe with the Middle East! Where the crusades are in full swing and a brave and noble knight wages war for his church. The man led his own personal group of soldiers, and led them in and out of conflict without end. His group always one, no matter the battle, whether it was siege or an open calvalry charge. At times it seemed as if the man was deliberately seeking out conflict. That was exactly what he was doing. Over time his compatriots began to share his lust for violence and war, constant exposure rubbing away their morals and allowing them to revel in the brutal conflict of warfare fully.
Thus was he found by Toshiro, leading his troop into a bloody melee, safely at the back, for only fools commanded from the front. It took only a few days for Toshiro to become convinced that this man was an embodiment of all that the sin War held high. Thus did Rinaldo feast on the man's bones, and the flesh of all serving under him.
GLUTTONY
excessive eating and drinking
The sin of Gluttony was fairly easy to find, due to the fact that the woman was so fat that she could barely even get around. Oh yes, of course the person rife with the sin of gluttony would be fat, if they were thin then their eating and drinking wouldn't be excessive! This little poker would eat anything and everything, meat, vegetables, fruit, cheese, pasta, if it was food or looked remotely like food she would eat it. Thus, when Rinaldo came along she was unable to do anything more but take a few wobbling steps. Now there's a tasty meatball!
LUST1. intense sexual desire or appetite.
2. uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness.
3. a passionate or overmastering desire or craving (usually followed by for ): a lust for power.
4. ardent enthusiasm; zest; relish: an enviable lust for life
The embodiment of Lust was a woman, some might say that's expected, but then again it makes sense. Men are fare more likely to give in to the depraved then the females, thus a female who was very lustful would be deeper in the sin of lust then a man. This french woman was truly lustful, she loved men of all kinds and descriptions, and rumor had it that she loved other women as well. Solo or in groups it didn't matter to her, she just wanted that lust. Slowly her friends and...clients became more and more obsessed with lust, becoming depraved. Sex spread rampantly, but secretly, through her little district of Paris. So secretly that Toshiro might not have found it if it wasn't for the fact that normal humans couldn't see him.
In the end though, he did find them, and more importantly, their leader. The wonderful queen of lust, for all intents and purposes. By this point Rinaldo barely even remembered his former human name, and his...goals were starting to change slightly. Nevertheless he was more than willing to devour the woman and her, "pets."
ENVY
1. a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.
The strange thing, is the man of Envy had nothing, he was poor as poor could be when Toshiro found him. Naturally this would be a matter of some confusion. Surely a man deep in Envy would find no harm in taking the source of his envy? Well, the thing is a man deep in Envy is rather...stupid. He was born to a very, very poor family and grew up constantly jealous of the rich and the affluent. From an early age he had resolved to one day have all those things the rich did. He slowly began climbing the social ladder, gaining in wealth and influence. He used whatever methods necessary, cheating, blackmail, murder, it was all for the purpose of his Envy. Then, when he was at the top, he looked down to the bottom, where people were so much more carefree and happy, and didn't have competitors watching their every move.
For awhile now Toshiro had been watching the man, convinced that he was the embodiment of Envy, but he could also have been greed. Then the man began giving up his power, his influence, wealth, and respect. He gave it all away because he was envious of the lives of the poor. That was all the confirmation that Toshiro needed, that night Rinaldo feasted on the man's bones.
VENGEANCE1. infliction of injury, harm, humiliation, or the like, on a person by another who has been harmed by that person; violent revenge
2. an act or opportunity of inflicting such trouble
3. the desire for revenge
Finding vengeance proved to be a bit of a problem for the ambitious shinigami. The reason was simple, it could be very hard to tell the sin of vengeance from the justice of vengeance. In the end though he found a place, can you guess where? Italy, the Italian mafia, where there was a better class of criminal. A family with honor and morals and all the vengeance you could want. Once there it didn't take long to find half a dozen different plots for vengeance. The question was which was the least justified or the most evil, justified vengeance could be very depending on how you went about it. In the end though, Rinaldo and Toshiro were able to find a suitable, conspiracy for vengeance. Toshiro devoured everyone and that was that.
SLOTH
1. habitual disinclination to exertion; indolence; laziness.
Sloth isn't exactly easy to find, they don't exactly stand out. In fact, Sloth might be the hardest to find, due to the fact that they never do ANYTHING that signifies their existence. It took Toshiro decades to find a suitable piece of meat for Rinaldo. In the end though, he did find it, it just took him awhile. As for the sinful individual, well, I'm feeling lazy right now. Use your imagination.
DECEIT
1. the act or practice of deceiving; concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; duplicity; fraud; cheatinG
2. an act or device intended to deceive; trick; stratagem.
3. the quality of being deceitful; duplicity; falseness
We near the end of Rinaldo's time as a normal hollow, with Deceit, Rage, and Hate he will become a menos, although neither knows this fact. The wonderful era of World War I, where spies are running rampant through the opposing conflicts. With so many spies to choose from Toshiro had an easy time finding someone black with deceit. This individual worked for the Germans, and was a spy in Great Britain. He did everything from blackmailing powerful officials, to sabatoging military equipment. He didn't care what it was so long as it was espionage, or sabotage.
Toshiro was able to break the man's cover, simply because he could not be seen. And no one acts if their isn't anyone to see their act. So the spy was found out, and sentenced to death, to be carried out in the manner of devoured by hollow.
RAGE
1. angry fury; violent anger.
2. a fit of violent anger.
3. fury or violence of wind, waves, fire, disease, etc.
Enter America's East Coast during the Roarin' Twenties. Where all kinds of classy criminals are running around, Pretty Boy Floyd, Al Capone, and Jon Dilinger being just a few. Here so soon after consuming Deceit did Toshiro find Rinaldo's next victim. Once again return to the mafia, only this time its the American mafia. Where a certain hitman is known to have a wicked temper. Toshiro follows the man for a few days, and what do you know he doesn't have a wicked temper, he has an absolutely EVIL temper. Toshiro's never seen someone get that mad that easily, and it is easily determined that he is Rinaldo's next victim.
HATE
1. to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest
Oh, several decades passed as Toshiro fruitlessly searched for the embodiment Hate. During this time Rinaldo did some thinking, regarding Toshiro and his ultimate goal of destroying Corruption. Slowly the hollow developed a plan, but before he could enact it, Toshiro found Hatred. Here was a man, a scientist who developed weapons and armor, medications and diseases, he created everything under the sun. Why? Because he hated everything. He hated people so he developed weapons that could kill them, he hated the weapons so he created armors to withstand them. He hated people so he developed diseases to ravage them, he hated diseases so he developed medications to combat them!
The man's hatred was so profound and conflicting that nobody noticed his evil deeds, seeing instead the good deeds. None ever suspected him of creating these diseases for he was the one who created the medications that combatted them. None suspected him of creating the weapons for he made the armors that stop them. People looked up to him, and thus when he "disappeared" the people were devestated. Where did he disappear too? Why, nowhere but into a hollow's stomach.
MENOS GRANDE
What exactly makes a person strong? What qualities or genes give a person intense spiritual power, but leave another person weak? In his lifetime as a hollow Rinaldo consumed only fourteen souls before turning into a Menos, meaning he was a Gillian with a grand soul count of fifteen. So, how was he strong enough to make this transformation? Rinaldo was the only one of the fifteen that could see the spiritual world, so it wasn't simply powerful souls. Could it maybe be that Rinaldo himself had a latent spiritual potential that the devouring of these souls awakened? I don't think so.
I believe that a person can have power in one of two ways. The first way is the usual, they have a potential, some latent power in their body. These people simply have power, plain and simple. The second kind though, are those of intense good or intense evil. I believe that a person who is good enough, or evil enough will have incredibly power or talent, purely because of that good or evil. Think of tyrants and saints across the land, sure they seem to have good skills, but do they really have it compared to those who aren't completely evil or saintly? The fact is, Rinaldo became that powerful by becoming a focal point for evil, by consuming those fifteen sins, he became an absolute devil, a manifestation of evil itself, granting him great power.
Thus, Rinaldo became a Gillian, and was swept from Toshiro's sight. The shinigami panicked, his chance at glory was gone! There was no way he could find Rinaldo amongst the countless gillians that existed. Plus, Toshiro might very well simply die during his travels as a gillian, and so Toshiro gave up on the hollow, seeking a new way to let his name be known.
Years passed, and amongst the hollows Toshiro grew stronger, his mask made special, by thick ridged grooves over his eyes. He consumed countless hollows and gillians, at times coming incredibly close to being consumed himself. In the end though, the hollows failed to stop his progression. One day the gillian paused, there was a tremendous releasing reiatsu as the hollow shrank and morphed, and as the smoke cleared and the reiatsu faded, Rinaldo stood up and took on his new name!
PECCATORE
PRIDE
1. a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.
2. the state or feeling of being proud.
3. a becoming or dignified sense of what is due to oneself or one's position or character; self-respect; self-esteem.
4. pleasure or satisfaction taken in something done by or belonging to oneself or believed to reflect credit upon oneself
5. something that causes a person or persons to be proud
6. the best of a group, class, society, etc.
It took Peccatore a few years to find him, Toshiro that is. After all the shinigami had given up looking for the hollow some time ago and had moved on to other things. However, Peccatore was able to find him, and at first Toshiro was very happy. Over a thousand years of his life had been sunk into cultivating this hollow for his own personal glory. However, that quickly changed when Peccatore revealed his intentions in seeking out Toshiro. You see Peccatore still required one final sin to have his complete set. That was the sin of Pride, and who better to fill that role than the man who's pride had led him to raise a hollow for over a thousand years, just to make others realize how great he was?
Peccatore attacked Toshiro, engaging the shinigami in a brutal battle, that gave the hollow the first glimpse of his powers. In the end, the adjuchas was far too strong for the Toshiro to defeat, and the shinigami was consumed. Peccatore had done it! He'd gained the blackest of all fifteen sins, now he needed to consolidate it, by consuming those of great evil, adding to his power. Several centuries passed, Peccatore consumed more, developing his personalities and exploring his powers, then the fateful day came.
ARRANCARIZATION
Peccatore arrancarized himself, it sounds odd yes, but it is actually quite reasonable when you consider the circumstances behind it. Considering Peccatore's evil and his desire to consume those of evil, it was only natural that at some point he'd encounter an arrancar. The arrancar was quite strong, having been forged from an adjuchas itself it gave Peccatore quite the run around, managing to mangle his body and leave him bleeding in the dirt.
He was fascinated, all of his forming personalities were in agreement on one thing, an arrancar was a truly powerful evolution of hollow. If an adjuchas could gain such strength it would be WONDERFUL! Thus, Peccatore began searching for ways to remove his mask and become an arrancar. At first it seemed he was doomed to failure, but in the end he managed to succeed, removing his mask and becoming an arrancar.
That was 97 years ago, and Peccatore hasn't been doing much, mainly because he can't decide on what he wants to do. Conquer the world, help conquer the world, eat really evil people, wage war! Kill shit! It was a horrible argument with himself, in the end though they came to one agreement. They would help the forces of evil consume the world, as evil would pose better opportunities for Corruption, War, Carange, Deceit, and even Tyranny to flourish than in a world overcome by good. Which was actually a very big decision for them. The only question they have is who of the evil groups to serve.

Then, when he was at the top, he looked down to the bottom, where people were so much more carefree and happy, and didn't have competitors watching their every move.
For awhile now Toshiro had been watching the man, convinced that he was the embodiment of Envy, but he could also have been greed. Then the man began giving up his power, his influence, wealth, and respect. He gave it all away because he was envious of the lives of the poor. That was all the confirmation that Toshiro needed, that night Rinaldo feasted on the man's bones.
VENGEANCE1. infliction of injury, harm, humiliation, or the like, on a person by another who has been harmed by that person; violent revenge
2. an act or opportunity of inflicting such trouble
3. the desire for revenge
Finding vengeance proved to be a bit of a problem for the ambitious shinigami. The reason was simple, it could be very hard to tell the sin of vengeance from the justice of vengeance. In the end though he found a place, can you guess where? Italy, the Italian mafia, where there was a better class of criminal. A family with honor and morals and all the vengeance you could want. Once there it didn't take long to find half a dozen different plots for vengeance. The question was which was the least justified or the most evil, justified vengeance could be very depending on how you went about it. In the end though, Rinaldo and Toshiro were able to find a suitable, conspiracy for vengeance. Toshiro devoured everyone and that was that.
SLOTH
1. habitual disinclination to exertion; indolence; laziness.
Sloth isn't exactly easy to find, they don't exactly stand out. In fact, Sloth might be the hardest to find, due to the fact that they never do ANYTHING that signifies their existence. It took Toshiro decades to find a suitable piece of meat for Rinaldo. In the end though, he did find it, it just took him awhile. As for the sinful individual, well, I'm feeling lazy right now. Use your imagination.
DECEIT
1. the act or practice of deceiving; concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; duplicity; fraud; cheatinG
2. an act or device intended to deceive; trick; stratagem.
3. the quality of being deceitful; duplicity; falseness
We near the end of Rinaldo's time as a normal hollow, with Deceit, Rage, and Hate he will become a menos, although neither knows this fact. The wonderful era of World War I, where spies are running rampant through the opposing conflicts. With so many spies to choose from Toshiro had an easy time finding someone black with deceit. This individual worked for the Germans, and was a spy in Great Britain. He did everything from blackmailing powerful officials, to sabatoging military equipment. He didn't care what it was so long as it was espionage, or sabotage.
Toshiro was able to break the man's cover, simply because he could not be seen. And no one acts if their isn't anyone to see their act. So the spy was found out, and sentenced to death, to be carried out in the manner of devoured by hollow.
RAGE
1. angry fury; violent anger.
2. a fit of violent anger.
3. fury or violence of wind, waves, fire, disease, etc.
Enter America's East Coast during the Roarin' Twenties. Where all kinds of classy criminals are running around, Pretty Boy Floyd, Al Capone, and Jon Dilinger being just a few. Here so soon after consuming Deceit did Toshiro find Rinaldo's next victim. Once again return to the mafia, only this time its the American mafia. Where a certain hitman is known to have a wicked temper. Toshiro follows the man for a few days, and what do you know he doesn't have a wicked temper, he has an absolutely EVIL temper. Toshiro's never seen someone get that mad that easily, and it is easily determined that he is Rinaldo's next victim.
HATE
1. to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest
Oh, several decades passed as Toshiro fruitlessly searched for the embodiment Hate. During this time Rinaldo did some thinking, regarding Toshiro and his ultimate goal of destroying Corruption. Slowly the hollow developed a plan, but before he could enact it, Toshiro found Hatred. Here was a man, a scientist who developed weapons and armor, medications and diseases, he created everything under the sun. Why? Because he hated everything. He hated people so he developed weapons that could kill them, he hated the weapons so he created armors to withstand them. He hated people so he developed diseases to ravage them, he hated diseases so he developed medications to combat them!
The man's hatred was so profound and conflicting that nobody noticed his evil deeds, seeing instead the good deeds. None ever suspected him of creating these diseases for he was the one who created the medications that combatted them. None suspected him of creating the weapons for he made the armors that stop them. People looked up to him, and thus when he "disappeared" the people were devestated. Where did he disappear too? Why, nowhere but into a hollow's stomach.
MENOS GRANDE
What exactly makes a person strong? What qualities or genes give a person intense spiritual power, but leave another person weak? In his lifetime as a hollow Rinaldo consumed only fourteen souls before turning into a Menos, meaning he was a Gillian with a grand soul count of fifteen. So, how was he strong enough to make this transformation? Rinaldo was the only one of the fifteen that could see the spiritual world, so it wasn't simply powerful souls. Could it maybe be that Rinaldo himself had a latent spiritual potential that the devouring of these souls awakened? I don't think so.
I believe that a person can have power in one of two ways. The first way is the usual, they have a potential, some latent power in their body. These people simply have power, plain and simple. The second kind though, are those of intense good or intense evil. I believe that a person who is good enough, or evil enough will have incredibly power or talent, purely because of that good or evil. Think of tyrants and saints across the land, sure they seem to have good skills, but do they really have it compared to those who aren't completely evil or saintly? The fact is, Rinaldo became that powerful by becoming a focal point for evil, by consuming those fifteen sins, he became an absolute devil, a manifestation of evil itself, granting him great power.
Thus, Rinaldo became a Gillian, and was swept from Toshiro's sight. The shinigami panicked, his chance at glory was gone! There was no way he could find Rinaldo amongst the countless gillians that existed. Plus, Toshiro might very well simply die during his travels as a gillian, and so Toshiro gave up on the hollow, seeking a new way to let his name be known.
Years passed, and amongst the hollows Toshiro grew stronger, his mask made special, by thick ridged grooves over his eyes. He consumed countless hollows and gillians, at times coming incredibly close to being consumed himself. In the end though, the hollows failed to stop his progression. One day the gillian paused, there was a tremendous releasing reiatsu as the hollow shrank and morphed, and as the smoke cleared and the reiatsu faded, Rinaldo stood up and took on his new name!
PECCATORE
PRIDE
1. a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.
2. the state or feeling of being proud.
3. a becoming or dignified sense of what is due to oneself or one's position or character; self-respect; self-esteem.
4. pleasure or satisfaction taken in something done by or belonging to oneself or believed to reflect credit upon oneself
5. something that causes a person or persons to be proud
6. the best of a group, class, society, etc.
It took Peccatore a few years to find him, Toshiro that is. After all the shinigami had given up looking for the hollow some time ago and had moved on to other things. However, Peccatore was able to find him, and at first Toshiro was very happy. Over a thousand years of his life had been sunk into cultivating this hollow for his own personal glory. However, that quickly changed when Peccatore revealed his intentions in seeking out Toshiro. You see Peccatore still required one final sin to have his complete set. That was the sin of Pride, and who better to fill that role than the man who's pride had led him to raise a hollow for over a thousand years, just to make others realize how great he was?
Peccatore attacked Toshiro, engaging the shinigami in a brutal battle, that gave the hollow the first glimpse of his powers. In the end, the adjuchas was far too strong for the Toshiro to defeat, and the shinigami was consumed. Peccatore had done it! He'd gained the blackest of all fifteen sins, now he needed to consolidate it, by consuming those of great evil, adding to his power. Several centuries passed, Peccatore consumed more, developing his personalities and exploring his powers, then the fateful day came.
ARRANCARIZATION
Peccatore arrancarized himself, it sounds odd yes, but it is actually quite reasonable when you consider the circumstances behind it. Considering Peccatore's evil and his desire to consume those of evil, it was only natural that at some point he'd encounter an arrancar. The arrancar was quite strong, having been forged from an adjuchas itself it gave Peccatore quite the run around, managing to mangle his body and leave him bleeding in the dirt.
He was fascinated, all of his forming personalities were in agreement on one thing, an arrancar was a truly powerful evolution of hollow. If an adjuchas could gain such strength it would be WONDERFUL! Thus, Peccatore began searching for ways to remove his mask and become an arrancar. At first it seemed he was doomed to failure, but in the end he managed to succeed, removing his mask and becoming an arrancar.
That was 97 years ago, and Peccatore hasn't been doing much, mainly because he can't decide on what he wants to do. Conquer the world, help conquer the world, eat really evil people, wage war! Kill shit! It was a horrible argument with himself, in the end though they came to one agreement. They would help the forces of evil consume the world, as evil would pose better opportunities for Corruption, War, Carange, Deceit, and even Tyranny to flourish than in a world overcome by good. Which was actually a very big decision for them. The only question they have is who of the evil groups to serve.

Comments/Notes: First of all...WAAAAAAAAAAAY Too much powers, and that basic soldier only costing 1 point is way too few, it means you can spam up to 5000 guys. considering that you can spam 50 of those very strong guys at the same time is also something I'm not too keen on.
Second, you can't have 5 personalities, biggest cases of MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) show up to 3.
Correct that first, along with the first person and the many "you see" as you are not telling a story to us, but you are narrating, with an inexisting crowd.
Once those corrections are made, post saying that you edited, and I'll get on watching the changes.
Note : This will be moved to Unchecked apps shortly
