/ / IDENTITY


Name - Axus Elrom Benetran

Nickname/Alias - Axon

Age - 747

Gender – Male

Physical Appearance –

Axon is a tall, pale skinned male, with yellow eyes and a wicked smirk. He is 6’7” (Six feet seven inches) tall and has a broad, powerful frame, yet looks oddly slender and lanky. Hs arms and legs are rather long too which makes him look even skinnier. However, appearances can be quite deceiving. Axon’s body is covered in powerful muscle, and with a single touch of his rock hard body anyone would quickly learn that. Every part of his strong physique is perfectly balanced and very well built, almost to an extreme. But his baggy clothing tends to hide his muscles. Axon’s hair is long and jet black, going about a foot and a half past his shoulders. Its smooth, straight, and thick.

Axon typically wears a large, long, robe-like coat that reaches his ankles. It is black and has grey triangle patterns along the edges and sleeves of it, as well as a dull red image of a snake coiled around a large eye on the back. Underneath it he wears a loose, baggy grey shirt, tucked into an even looser pair of pants bound to his waist by a belt of tarnished silver chains and tough black leather. The chains are thin and much longer than needed, hanging from the left side of his hip all the way down to his calf. His pants are tucked into a thick series of black bandages that go all the way from just beneath his knee all the way down to his ankles. And if he isn’t wearing the bandages, he is wearing boots. Axon also either wears sandals or the same black bandages on his feet, if he isn’t wearing boots.

History -

In the beginning, Axon was a shinigami. Born to a fairly noble family, of a fairly proud lineage, he found that life was always just 'fairly' something. He was always promised that he'd be a 'fairly' good shinigami when he got older living and protecting a 'fairly' good system. Axon quickly became tired of fairly good things. Nothing was ever perfect. And it was that essential lack that he found in everything around him that seemed to be the downfall of everything. Needless to say, Axon discovered hate quickly, even as a young boy.

Axon always drove himself harder, sick of being told that he was just going to be 'fairly' good. He wanted to be the best, and he wasn't going to let anyone tell him he wasn't.

Will finish later, lost will to continue.

But gradually, Axon began to notice something sinister in the world. Order was everywhere, perfect, yet some things were clearly unfinished. People destroyed and took advantage of one another in a way not seen anywhere else in nature. It seemed so wrong and brutal to him. He lived a fine life, the son of a wealthy family, yet he was surrounded by the suffering and misery of others. People seemed to die around him and he always heard about terrible things going on in the world. This was during a time less privileged than ours, and so he saw many more deaths.

At first, Axon just did what he could to help. He gave food and clothing to the needy, tried to help the sick, even worked with the peasants occasionally. But eventually he realized that this would never bring lasting peace, nor was it a permanent solution. Axon also began to notice people around him just dying. Not his family, but he discovered gradually as a young man that he had this strange power to just… kill. Almost like a curse. One day, after focusing it mildly on rabbit, the creature died seconds afterwards.

It was strange. At the age of seventeen, he’d realized that all of his charity wouldn’t ever be enough to fix the world. And he also knew that only power could change the world – power which he had just discovered within himself. He marveled at his new abilities and used them frequently, discreetly destroying dangerous people and gradually gaining more power for himself. He was always nobility, but through the vicious use of his destructive abilities, he quickly rose even higher on the social ladder. His family became one of the wealthiest very quickly, and much of his opposition suddenly perished…

Axon’s powers became very strong. But as he grew stronger, he began to attract strange spirit beasts of some kind, which he would later discover were known as the Hollows. At first all he could do was escape and hide from the ferocious beings. Then Axon became stronger than the creatures, and began hunting them instead. Far too dangerous to be left alone, Axon would hunt any Hollows too close to him, and no beast was spared. This gave Axon a good deal of battle experience, enabling him to wield his destructive powers in new ways. Axon would soon be capable of making his power known, and beginning a new society under his authority.

But then he died.

Axon never saw it coming. As strong as he was, as proud as he was, he never figured he’d get killed by a wad of stone. Buildings were often poorly built in his time, and during a casual walk, an entire three story brick building collapsed on him. Needless to say, he was very dead.

It took Axon hours to figure out that he was dead, left only with a broken chain in his chest. It was a rather curious thing. Being dead, that is. Axon expected something far more glorious. Something like a return to the divine. But instead, here he was, forced to look down upon his failure, buried under tons and tons of bricks which had crushed his mortal vessel. But then he began to understand what was happening, as his chain of fate rapidly decayed. He knew he would become like the very beasts he had slain, and it was then that Axon began to understand the dark reality of our world.

And with a mere pull of a chain, Axon changed everything. The love he’d felt turned to the most bitter hate, the shining light from his heart that had wished only to bring light to the needy turned to vicious power hungry darkness, and what was once a gifted and benevolent human became a vicious, ravenous, unforgiving Hollow.

The next chapter of Axon’s life seemed blurred together into one, ongoing event: hunting. Constantly. Hunt or die. And Axon was always on the move. As a human, he’d been powerful, but as a hollow now Axon was ridiculously ferocious. His powers had changed and he was now snake-like, but he was stronger than ever, and a countless many souls became unfortunate witnesses to this fact. He immediately began eating other Hollows, swiftly building up his strength, before chasing another Hollow through a Garganta into Hueco Mundo.

He’d been led to paradise. Hordes and hordes of Hollows, food, waiting to be killed. Not a second was wasted as Axon slithered through the sands, devouring dozens by the hour, and few if any ever escaped the clutches of his voracious maw. But the feast did not continue as Axon would have wished. Some more intelligent Hollows banded together in an attempt to stop him, believing he was too dangerous and far too powerful. He was ambushed in swarms, forced to fight for his life, but won every time. After surviving the battle, Axon began to change, slowly. He wasn’t sure exactly what, at first, but as he transformed into a Gillian class menos, he understood.

Axon lived in a way not seen often among the Gillian. Rather than mindlessly obeying the orders of stronger hollows, he went against him, and attacked other Gillian. The others seemed to just mindlessly die and be devoured, unaware of what was going on. But eventually the superior hollows took notice, only to find a massive Gillian tearing apart their drones. One of the Adjuchas attacked Axon, only to be crushed under his foot. His Gillian form was wicked, massive, towering…. Even more so than the others. He was stronger as a mere Gillian than these weaker Adjuchas were in their highly evolved form, and the Hollow crushed beneath his heel bore witness to this fact.

The Adjuchas decided Axon was too much trouble and chose to leave him alone, hoping to let him grow stronger and devour him later for a big jump in evolution. However, as Axon continued to grow and devour, he developed at an alarming rate while the only predators who were strong enough to beat him sat by and waited. With a constant supply of Gillian, Axon just kept getting stronger, until he grew to be a massive beast of a Hollow, even for a menos. He descended upon the small pack of Adjuchas and overpowered them, superior to them despite their higher state of development. As he finished the last of their tiny group, he began to change again, this time becoming far smaller.
As an Adjuchas, Axon found life to be different. HE now commanded a high level of respect from most of the other hollows. It seemed his time had finally come, and all of his efforts over the many years of hunting and growing were paying off. But Axon wasn’t anywhere near satisfied with that. Axon wanted more power, more souls, more knowledge. The intelligence that he had already regained proved to be quite useful, and he was already remembering tiny fragments of events from beyond his human life. His appetite had merely been whetted.

Now, as an Adjuchas, Axon easily preyed upon other hollows. He was faster, he was smarter, he was stronger. No one escaped him now. Yet although Axon felt as though he was the strongest now, he was not, a lesson he learned painfully. After years and years of devouring Adjuchas, he finally made a few enemies. One of the Vasto Lorde had taken some of the menos as slaves. Axon, feeling confident, devoured the slaves and challenged the highly evolved menos. He was at first ignored and it wasn’t until Axon actually tried to take a bite out of the Hollow that his threat was responded to. With just one punch Axon’s arm was shattered, and the rest of the battle only went worse.

But, Axon’s poison bite had weakened the Vasto Lorde, just enough to permit him to narrowly escape the hellish foe with his life. Desperately trying to survive, and absolutely shocked that he had nearly been killed, Axon ravenously devoured Hollows like never before. Even after he recovered fully from his wounds Axon felt as though he were still in danger. The fear and rage seemed to take him over as he was reduced to a beast once more. Yet he only grew stronger, with every soul eaten, and his rage only made him stronger. Eventually, Axon himself became a Vasto Lorde, after many years of devouring other powerful hollows. But he didn’t pay much attention to the change, he just kept hunting and killing, seemingly unsatisfied.

Across his travels and hunts for food, Axon came across a hated enemy: The Vasto Lorde who had so easily injured him long ago. Axon’s health had recovered fully, but his pride had not. This single foe seemed to linger in some dark reach of his empty heart, taunting him, daring him to go forth. He was surprised when he felt no fear. His thoughts were quieted by rage, as he prepared to charge his foe, holding only revenge in his thoughts. Axon wanted nothing more than to conquer this enemy, the only failure he’d known in his life as a Hollow. But then something strange happened. The Vasto Lorde left, making an odd sound... almost as though he were screaming.

Axon could not believe it. He expected to be nearly killed again, but still wanted to fight his most hated foe. And yet he had just been left there? He was not relieved. He was disappointed. He quickly pursued, and brutally killed the Vasto Lorde with surprising ease, silencing the last of his fears with the death of his worst foe. But then he finally realized just how much had changed. He wasn’t an Adjuchas anymore, and he didn’t even need to feed anymore. He would remain a Vasto Lorde forever if he so wished. Yet he had continued to eat, he had continued to grow stronger, but why? Axon figured it out after a few minutes.

He had simply wanted more. It wasn’t the Vasto Lorde or the fear of him that had truly driven him to power, but rather the knowledge that he could still become stronger that drove him. And now he was wiser. He knew there was still a long way to go. He was no longer a mere beast after this, but regained his intelligence completely, even recalling his ancient name from before his human life; Axus Elrom Benetran. But his human name had been lost to the darkness, and so he simply named himself Axon, preferring it to his real name.

Axon had actually developed a fearsome reputation among the intelligent menos. He was known to be hungrier than any other they’d ever seen, more feral and vicious even though he had attained the highest form of hollow evolution, and wouldn’t respond to reason. He just drove towards his goals, with all his willpower, so determined and focused upon that one goal of strength that he was mistaken for a beast of pure instinct. And it was for this reputation of fear among the most ferocious of souls that led him to the next chapter of his life.

The Arrancar, whom had connections with the Hollows, heard of Axon and how ferociously powerful he was. But instead of removing him as a danger, they decided to recruit him as an ally. He was approached by two Arrancar offering to show him a way to become even stronger. Intrigued by these new creatures and fascinated by their offer, Axon followed but remained aware. Axon did not trust any stranger, let alone those who held secrets. But Axon was neither betrayed nor disappointed as he was taught the techniques necessary to become an Arrancar, surprised it was so simple as ripping off one’s mask.

Axon wasted no time in transforming. With a single tear of his mask, he fearlessly dove into the current chapter of his life – life as an Arrancar. But, Axon’s change had been unusual. His was so pure that no mask or hollow hole had been left behind at all. He transformed at the peak of his Hollow form, and his transformation had been of a similar quality. Axon was so powerful from the start that he immediately earned his place as Sixth Espada, a rank he holds to this day.

But Axon was disappointed, because he expected the transformation to have made him stronger. Sixth Espada to him was more like some cheap sixth place prize. All his life, for this meager rank? Five hundred years of work and evolution? But he discovered soon that the problem was not his actual power. The problem was actually the power that he had not given up. Axon retained his regenerative powers, in fact he had developed them, to the point where he could recover from just about any injury if he survived. Most of the other Arrancar sacrificed their regenerative powers for more raw power, and although Axon considered it a poor excuse to not be the best, he accepted it.
But Axon’s intelligence led him to new passions. Technology was absolutely everywhere. Machines and science had undergone a tremendous change since his time as a human, and there were even cyborgs now. Axon was totally dumbfounded at the world he had discovered, and all he could say for this marvelous advance in society, was just one word. Disgusting. Completely, totally, and utterly disgusting. Axon hated the dependence upon machines. They permitted the weak to live, when they should have died. That was the one law that kept the Hollow strong; survival of the fittest. And now these stupid machines had taken that all away… the only beauty Axon had known within the cold life of a Hollow.

Axon made a point of mastering this science. Science made this technology, and science could destroy it. Axon wanted to change things but wasn’t quite sure how. For the next fifty years, he studied all forms of organisms, medicine, biochemistry, and just about anything pertaining to organics. It was shortly afterwards that Axon discovered his Arrancar transformation had also endowed upon him a new power, the power to change and manipulate flesh. This enabled him to alter organisms and repair them, as well as destroy them if he so wished. Fifty years of hard study and research had left him with all the science and knowledge he’d need to use this power too.

Axon began using his power in the service of the Arrancar. He offered something that hadn’t really been seen before. Actually repairing the body and making it better, instead of just stitching a machine to it. It was mostly effective at first but his ways were often obscured and he was used as a doctor, rather than listened to as a scientist. Axon was not pleased with the ignorance of his own people. But he still repaired them when their machines couldn’t, or wouldn’t, and he was mildly respected in the research and development community. He was one of the few remaining experts on biology. But this was not enough for Axon. He’d spent fifty years trying to make a change – and he wouldn’t quit now.

Axon began to capture Shinigami, humans, and even some Hollows. He performed a countless many experiments, testing dark research and developing new and complicated sciences to the body and modifying it. His aim was to perfect his ability to change or repair the body without machines. But it was a slow process, one that required much work and many files. It took decades of work and research for Axon to finally discover useful methods of organic modification. He could now make the hierro of an Arrancar tougher, their eyes keener, their mind sharper, and their organs healthier. He developed a countless many other modifications and surgeries, at the price of thousands of test subjects, most of them dying in his experiments. This was due mostly to a lack of effort to keep them alive.

However, after a hundred more years of research, Axon began to perfect his methods. He became capable of altering organisms in any way he saw fit – although he would often have to balance certain traits and it was a long, complicated process. But soon, when Axon began doing modifications and surgeries for the Arrancar again, everyone was astonished by the results. Arrancar who had once been crippled and useless could be brought back exactly as they were before injury. Aging could be reversed. And the appeal of becoming stronger was certainly attractive to the other Arrancar.
Yet still, as effective as his methods were, they were rather expensive and still not as popular as cybernetics. He had been beaten by the machines yet again. This would not stop Axon. He was furious, enraged, disappointed, but still proud of his success. He felt closer than ever, certainly not farther. For a time Axon was out of ideas. But then it hit him. If he could make life, create living beings, or even recycle them at least, he could create new creatures, maybe even organic technology! His people could be united in flesh!

Axon immediately began his research into this idea, but found it to be the most challenging task he’d ever faced. He had mastered the body itself, certainly. But now he was trying to master the soul. The spirit was a difficult thing to define, yet it is experienced by all living. Axon tried for many years to create life but found it to be lacking. The snakes he could create had life, yet it was different, as though he drew it from some endless source with his reiatsu. And he couldn’t do it with this. It just didn’t work. But still, Axon pressed on, researching even now.

Axon currently has gotten somewhere in his new research, despite being unable to generate life. He has found methods to transferring souls into new bodies and combining or dividing souls. He still has a long way to go, but his ambition burns fiercely, both for his goal of surpassing machine technology, and for surpassing all other Arrancar in power.

Personality -

Axon's intentions couldn't have been more pure. He just wanted to fix the world, to make things perfect. To make a perfect world worthy of life, instead of such a complicated and sorrowful place, where the very people that make the world what it is hungrily destroy one another. But there are two sides to every coin, and to his truest wish, was also a truest darkness. Throughout his life Axon has slowly lost faith in other entities, believing most of them to be senseless animals unable to recall their meaning in existence, merely obstacles to his goal of perfection and order. At first he loved the world and the divine, but gradually he turned against it all, and now he despises the world he wished to fix and loves only himself and his power. His mighty soul has turned black, and the cold of it stings sharper than even the coldest ice.

Axon, for the most part, is quite logical despite his lofty goals. He tends to view situations analytically and has good problem solving abilities. He keeps an eye out for details and seems to remember just about everything he sees, reserving all the information he comes across, and always trying to piece things together. Its very hard to lie to Axon because he is just so good at reading and understanding others. Even though he is an extraordinarily apathetic and even misanthropic person, he has very good empathy, enabling him to understand just about any person's view. He uses this sense to determine the intentions and feelings of others, and how he can use these things to his advantage.

But as logical as he is, Axon makes a fatal error and does it often. He is always over thinking things. He obsesses over higher meaning and knowledge, determined to be right about everything. It is for this purpose that, if he is wrong, he will acknowledge it. He believes that he cannot learn if he refuses to accept reality, regardless of how bitter it can be. But this does not make him very realistic. Axon's greatest desires are for power, and immortality. He wishes to be as a God and do as he will with the world. But although he thinks of Godhood in a pure and holy form, he really doesn't want to help people with his power anymore. He just wants to watch the world burn - and rebuilding it afterwards is just an excuse for his hatred.

Aside from pursuing power and destruction, Axon is also an expert on organisms. He performs various experiments, mostly genetic engineering, and has a passion for research. However, Axon absolutely hates cyborgs. Machines, which serve organisms, being made part of a body disgusts him. He believes that the overdependence upon technology will be the downfall of the Arrancar, and that their bodies may deteriorate from this dependence. It is for this reason that he will never get machine body parts, nor will he ever have a Deus Ex Resureccion. Most people who have such things often creep him out and he treats them like pests, often just trying to stay as far away as possible from cyborgs. Axon believes that if he perfects his research, his methods could become more popular than cybernetics.

Axon isn't the most social person. He used to be good at making friends, but as he slowly became twisted and nefarious he just distanced himself from others. He still has good social skills and can interact as though he were a normal person, but rarely does, seeing no point in a charade that no one cares about. He has no compassion for strangers and views people more objectively. He often refuses to acknowledge the sentience of other people, insisting that they are just animals because they do not see the world in the same light as him.

Although Axon is willing to do a lot of things for power, he won't do just anything. He has a certain level of dignity and morality that he won't go beneath. There is probably even a warped shred of honor left in him. He never does anything that reduces his self respect or injures his pride. He doesn't cave into the demands of others, either, and he won't give up on something simply because it is difficult or someone tries to stop him. In summary he is a classic story of good intentions gone bad, but to an unprecedented extreme...

Rank - Sixth Espada



/ / ABILITIES


Racial Abilities -

• Serpent Conduit: A unique Hollow-type power exclusive to Axon. Axon has the unique ability to grow snakes from any part of his body, of any size that he wishes, and has complete control over them. These snakes are large and very tough. Their strength and durability is based on Axon's reiatsu stat. Axon can also detach them from his body and control them with a form of telepathy that he can use only on his snakes. Each snake has a poisonous bite that causes whatever they bite to decay and rot until nothing is left, regardless of what was bitten. Flesh, concrete, bone, steel - all of it decays at the same rate when exposed to the black venom. Only Axon and the snakes themselves are immune to the venom and are not harmed by it. Although Axon can generate enormous amounts of snakes at once, he uses his reiatsu to do this, so creating too many snakes will wear down his stamina and eventually exhaust him. Also, larger snakes require greater effort to create, which also effects how long it takes for Axon to be exhausted.
  
  
• Flesh Weavers: Whenever Axon is injured, snakes similar to the ones used in his Serpent Conduit ability will rapidly grow out of the wound and pull his body back together. If any limbs or body parts have been severed or removed from his flesh the snakes will dive into them and fuse with them, merging the lost body parts back into his body and restoring them. For example, if Axon’s arm were to be cut off, snakes would immediately rush out of both the wound on his body and on the severed arm. The snakes would fuse and reattach the arm to his body, merging with Axon’s flesh in the process. The arm would also be undamaged and he would regain complete use of it just as it had been before it was severed. This applies to just about all of his body. This power works automatically and will re-attach any lost body part, unless the brain or heart has been totally destroyed. Snakes that appear in lost body parts keep them alive with their own life support organs, so a severed arm can remain alive for days as it waits to be re-attached. However, dead or burnt body parts cannot be re-attached.
  
  
• Body Shedding: If Axon is damaged beyond the repair of his flesh weavers, he can use this ability to recover entirely. But first he must do two things. First, he must devour dozens of souls or just a few strong ones. Second, he must find a safe place to sleep. Once asleep Axon falls into a deep sleep similar to hibernation and the effect of this ability begins. Axon then begins to grow an entirely new body – from scratch. Rapidly, piece by piece, each part of his body is regrown and replaced. Vital components of the previous body are devoured. During the final stage all the information and memory from his old brain is transferred to his new brain, which then replaces the old one. After Axon finishes growing a new body he sheds the old one, which is just an empty husk of skin afterwards. This ability enables Axon to recover from any injury and restore any part of his body, but it cannot be used during combat. He must also sleep for four to nine days depending on how badly he is injured. Also, while sleeping and growing, Axon is extremely vulnerable to attack. Every time Axon uses this ability, he gets a little bit taller.
  
  
• Husk Warlock: Axon is at times called ‘The Surgeon’ or Las Noches. He possesses the unique ability to bend flesh to his will. This can be used to heal someone and repair terrible injuries, however he can also permanently alter the traits of an organism. However, this ability requires time and research, it’s part of a science in and of itself. Therefore Axon cannot use it in combat. This ability can also be used for destruction but it is not easily used for this purpose, because strong enemies can resist the effects of this ability and it requires Axon to be close. However, Axon can repair, modify, or remove just about any part of the body, especially if he has a willing patient or test subject. This ability is too time consuming and precise to be used in combat, and it takes a long time for Axon to heal someone with this ability, so it is not effective in combat.
  
  
• Palm of Horrors: The palms on both of Axon's hands are covered in thousands of tiny bards not visible to the naked eye, loaded with a deadly neurotoxin poison. The barbs are inactive most of the time and simply retracted into tiny pores deep inside Axon's palms. When extended, the barbs become active and are filled with the poison. When the barbs are extended, they become slightly visible, extending about an inch past the palm. Upon touching a foe, the poison is injected into the enemy and enters their blood stream, all within seconds. The poison spreads through the body of the foe through this method and kills nerves as it travels through their flesh, causing the victim extreme pain and making their movements sluggish and dull. If stung at least three times by the poison barbs, the enemy will begin to experience paralysis in random areas of the body, mostly the limbs because the poison eventually settles there after moving through the body for a certain amount of time. Stronger opponents may be less effected, or will take more stings to experience this effect. After five stings from the poison barbs, the enemy will have lost so much nerve control that their heart and lungs will begin to weaken severely. If the enemy is weaker than Axon, they probably won't even be able to move. And after seven stings, most people will just be too weak to fight, if they aren't dying at that point. Those weaker than Axon require less stings to be damaged, while enemies stronger than Axon will take more stings and more poison to take down.
  
  
• Euphoric Bite: Axon has fangs and poison too, like his snakes, however his venom has a very different effect. By biting someone he injects a strange but mostly harmless black neuroconductive fluid into them, which gives them a sensation of pleasure and reduces the pain they feel from the bite, at first. The venom allows Axon to access and control the nerves of whoever he is biting, although he cannot command any nerves to shut down or self destruct. Though this ability he can cause pleasure, pain, or both, for whoever his prey is. but the true purpose of this power is to actually access his mind. With a combination of nerve access and the psychic properties of this ability, Axon can read the thoughts, feelings, and memories of whoever he bites with this ability for as long as he is biting them.
  

/ / Zanpakuto


Zanpakuto Name - Rahu

Elements - Poison, Curse

Sealed State

Appearance: Click here for an Image

Rahu appears as a weapon similar to a longsword, but unlike other blades, it is just one solid piece of metal. It has a dark metallic color and an engraving of a large eight headed snake on it’s blade. Also, the blade seems unusually worn down and slightly damaged, but the appearance of the weapon merely conceals it’s power. It’s edges are razor sharp and it is concealed inside a snake hidden within Axon’s throat. The snake is actually merged into his flesh and he can move it as though it were a part of his body, because his nerves are connected to it. When he uses it, the snake normally sticks it’s head out of his mouth and slowly pushes the sword out of it’s long body.

Sealed Abilitiy: Axon's own zanpakuto cannot cut him, no matter how sharp it's edge is or how hard it is swung, so he does not need to fear cutting himself while sheathing it.

Released State - Resureccion

Resurreccion Command: "Absolve, Rahu"

Resurreccion Form: Upon transforming Axon takes on a very reptilian, but mostly snake-like appearance. His skin is replaced with tough white scales, his nails become sharp black claws, and his eyes turn to a mixture of dark green and bright gold with deep black scleras (The white part of the eye). His pupils are in slit shapes and his hair grows long, and turns purple at the tips. All of his limbs are slightly longer, including his neck, but mostly just his legs and arms. While in resureccion, Axon has dark purple snake tattoos all over his body, except for on his face. The snakes run across his limbs wildly in swarms, but are merged together towards his solar plexus, which reveals that they are actually just one snake tattoo with many heads.

Resurreccion Abilities:

Miasma Blood: While in Resureccion, Axon’s blood gives off a deadly black gas that has the same effect as the venom of his snake. Although its not potent enough to dissolve entire objects, it can inflict severe damage on an opponent’s lungs, and breathing it in is certain to cause extreme pain and nausea. Whenever Axon is cut or bleeding, miasma gas will pour from the wounds. Only Axon and his snakes are immune to the gas.

Flesh of the Hydra: As long as Axon is using Resureccion, Axon’s regenerative powers are greatly increased. Instead of just re-attaching living limbs, Axon can now re-attach dead or burnt body parts, and restore them to life over a period of three posts. The snakes generated from wounds can also replace body parts on their own by actually morphing into whatever body part that Axon lost, but this takes six posts. But they cannot regenerate the brain, they can only perform minor repairs on major organs (damage must be low enough for Axon to function and live).

Vessel of Serpents: Axon’s body can perform new feats within his resureccion state. Now he can do more than just make snakes – he can become snakes. He can detach a part of his body and turn it into hundreds of white snakes, and then re-absorb them to restore the body part. Example – Axon turns an arm into a bunch of snakes, snakes return later, attach to him, and turn back into the arm. However, if the snakes that were the body part are harmed, the body part is also harmed. So when they return to Axon, the body part will reform in an injured state.

Curse Force: This power enables Axon to debilitate, weaken, or harm foes but often at some kind of price to himself. This power can only be used with Resureccion techniques. It can also be used to negate specific powers, but again, at a price.

Resurreccion Techniques:

Touch of Fire: With this ability, Axon can turn one of his hands into a giant snake head and turn the entire arm with the snake head on it into a large snake body temporarily. These heads are typically use to viciously bite enemies and their bite dumps large amounts of venom into an enemy, the same type used by his snakes but in a more potent form. They can also stretch and extend to enormous lengths, and reiatsu can be used to make them move quickly or glide towards enemies.
Curse – Soul Silencer: This dark technique targets the powers of an enemy, rather than the life of the enemy. With it Axon targets one out of three types of powers – reiatsu, speed, or strength. Reiatsu based powers are anything that uses reiatsu, such as kido, cero, quincy powers, and whatever else. Speed powers are powers that are used for movement or to increase total speed, such as shunpo, sonido, hirenkyaku, or any power that boosts speed. And strength based powers are any powers based on strength or durability, such as hierro, strength boosting powers, combat type zanpakuto, and others. But this ability has an extreme drawback. When Axon seals away one of those three types of powers, all the powers he has that are of that type are also sealed. So Axon will more or less suffer the same penalty dealt unto his opponent.

Malefic Exchange: Axon reserves this power for the most desperate battles. It enables him to render part of an enemy’s body useless – arms, legs, or their sight, hearing, and smell. But this is a Curse power and requires an energy similar to the body part targeted in order to cripple an enemy, meaning that Axon must temporarily cripple the same body part on himself that he cripples on a foe. So if he uses this power to make an enemy’s arms useless, his arms also become useless. All effects are temporary and restore back to normal after battle but Axon can maintain this ability throughout the entire fight. Axon can do this from any range, but he can’t really kill someone with this power, all he can do is severely limit them. It doesn’t matter if the target grows back or cuts off the arm, it still cannot be used, and if the enemy has more than two arms or legs, all of them are still crippled.
Black Nimbus: The most dangerous technique that Axon currently has, usable only in resureccion due to it’s high reiatsu consumption. This technique is also a curse power, meaning it inflicts great damage upon an enemy, but also has a heavy price to pay for it’s usage. To use this attack, Axon must touch his forehead against the forehead of his target, and after doing so they are both frozen in place and cannot move, temporarily paralyzed by an enormous energy shock that stuns their bodies and leaves them both in great pain. Then darkness swirls around both their heads, shrouding their sight in complete darkness, and they both burst into black flames. These black flames are pure destructive force and will completely destroy anything they touch, destroying the souls of both Axon and his enemy. Axon can deactivate the ability at any time he wishes and can return to normal, but the longer he uses this ability, the more damage he takes. If he keeps the ability activated for three minutes both he and his enemy will die.

Warlock Inertia: Because Axon is so intimately attuned with the power of curses in his resureccion form, he is immune to all curses except for curses used by himself, which usually harm him in order to harm a foe in some way.

RP Sample -

The inky black shadow of night seemed to swallow the entire city in it's blanket of darkness, smothering the ignorant civilization within it's obscuring clutches. The moon was absent from the dark of the midnight sky, and only a faint number of tiny stars shined against the sea of blackness, hopelessly fighting the dark. The lights of the city illuminated it yet darkness still hid it's decay. Within the streets, people did as they always had, killing and robbing one another. One such robber charged out of an alley, tightly clutching a purse, as his eyes scanned the streets briefly. His breath was heavy and fast paced, and his face was drenched in sweat. He held his prize closely, with a certain desperation found only in the worst poverty.

The robber darted to the left, almost smiling, certain that he had won his prize. If only he could see what was before him. His knee suddenly split open, spilling it's contents upon the unforgiving concrete, and he slammed into the ground. The purse flew from his greedy dark skinned hands and let loose a brief shower of green dollar bills, all of them beyond his reach and drifting further with each passing breeze. He clutched weakly at the ground as he felt his knee scream to him in pain, while all he could think of was the money he almost had. He could not see the towering, serpentine spirit before him, a tall man looking down upon him with cold, avaricious yellow eyes and a bloody sword. Axon had no mercy for this piece of street vermin, who had nearly bumped into him.

With a merciless sweep of his tarnished weapon Axon silenced the desperate spirit of the inferior man beneath him, ending his life and leaving only a bright crimson letter of blood upon his back. Axon smiled down wickedly at his deed. Slowly, he rose his weapon, and slid it down his throat, into the snake that contained the vicious blade. He gave the body a final kick into the street before leaving it forever, as he turned and walked away. Each and every one of the dollar bills scattered with the wind, dancing on it's cold and stinging touch...

Comments/Notes: We are currently deciding whether or not Arrancars should have blood abilities. Until it is decided please wait for approval or denial. Also use of poison must be approved by a admin. You might want to vote for blood abilities and post your reasoning if you want it.
Tier: undecided

Is Husk Warlock really considered a blood manipulation ability? It can't be used in combat and targets the body, not blood itself. Will it be okay if I say that blood cannot be directly targeted or something like that?

the ability in question is Miasma Blood not that one

Oh. So if I remove it or change it, we're good?

OK here we go. your app is good but here are a few things I want you to change.

1. History- remove that your character is from a different astral plane. All characters are born in our astral plane.

2. Serpent Conduit: "Each snake has a poisonous bite that causes whatever they bite to decay and rot until nothing is left, regardless of what was bitten. Flesh, concrete, bone, steel - all of it decays at the same rate when exposed to the black venom."

That part. I'm not allowing an ability that can cause decay of the characters. I don't mind poisons but if this is a little much. PLease no causing other characters to rot away.

3. Malefic Exchange: Make it so you must cut that body part or have some kind of contact with the body part.

4. Black Nimbus: 3 minutes means nothing to me. Give me how long, post wise does it last and it's cool down time. Tell me, in post count wise , how long it would take to completely kill both people involved. Also add that if a person your fighting is stronger than you they can break away. This ability will have to come with alot of restriction because people can't be killed without consent aside from event threads.

5. Your not an espada remove from history. You must earn that position, we are not just going to hand it to you

I can't fix all of that tonight, but please allow me to say a few things real quick.

The poison venom stuff that the snakes use only causes temporary decay. I think I may have worded that incorrectly. Its not like one bite and the character disappears - think of it like an acid. It takes a certain amount of it to decay a certain amount of material, its not like a permanent wound that can't be recovered from. Is that still a no?

As for the Espada part, I didn't know, I just asked if I could and someone said go for it.

About the malefic exhange thing, do you mean that I have to cut them or do I have to cut myself?

And lastly, is a hollow reborn as a human an acceptable beginning? I need a fairly good excuse to explain why his powers as a human were so dark.

Yeah explain the poison thing more

Malefic exchange. I think you need to have made contact with the body part in question and not just brushing against it

And no hollow reborn. You start off as a human, end of story

Ah you know what, you can go to hell, especially if you're going to ban me when I haven't broken any rules.
