Quincy Template


General Information

Name: Apollo "Silverstreak" Aireestein
Age: 1,458 years old, though only appears 29.
Gender: Male

Affiliation: Ever since he was believed to have died, he has been a loner. However, more recently he has decided to fight.

Overall Appearance

Appearance:


Personality:

Sarcastic: He is very sarcastic to everyone, including those he works with. When nervous or even fighting against stronger opponents, he retains his sarcastic personality, baiting and insulting his opponents and allies alike. This makes it hard for people to get along with him, as he constantly berates people with insults. He gained this trait from living with humans for many years.

Loner: For many, many years he lived as a loner, making no interaction with other people, except for the occasional greeting of a wondering Shinigami. This has made him somewhat of a loner, as he doesnt really care about what is happening in Soul Society and the human world. Instead, he lives his life quietly, peacefully, alone.

Honorable: As he used to be a samurai in feudal Japan, he has a natural sense of honor. He does not fight unfairly, or fight dirty. He also doesnt kill those he fights, unless they want to be killed. He does not like fights when there are more people on one side, because he believes it is unfair, which also led to his belief that battles should be fought as duels, with one person one each side.

Disrespectful: he doesnt respect anyone that isnt very strong, such as people of Ketsu Iramasha. Those that he does respect, he treats better than those he does not. His attitude has gotten him into more than one bad situation in his lifetime, causing trouble for him and his allies. This is considered odd, as he used to be a samurai, but he says it is because of his age.

Wealth: His lifelong dream has been to gather up riches and settle down to a quiet life. however, do to certain situations, he had to give this life up in exchange for fighting again, which pains him dearly. Though not necessarily obsessed with money, if he thinks he can get a lot, he will do what it takes. This stems from his selfish attitude as a child, though now it is not as pronounced.

Disloyal: If his leader is weak, or he becomes stronger than his leader, he will join whatever faction or organization he is a part of. He does not like people weaker than him so much he may just ignore them. However, if his leader is stronger than him, he will continuously train until he is stronger, just so he can leave. He goes by the saying "If you cant fight for yourself, then you should not lead others."

Fear: Though he doesnt show it, he fears the deaths of his comrades. When one of his allies falls, he saddens, and might even become depressed. This is because he lost many comrades and soldiers when he lived as a mortal in Japan. Even now, when he lives as a loner, with no real friends, he still hates losing those he fights on the same side with. This can also make him enraged and furious when fighting, if an ally is defeated or killed.


Heightened Sight: He was born with 25/25 vision, far exceeding that of a normal humans sight. 25/25 was unheard of, giving him one of, if not THE best sense of sight of all humans. He is able to not only observe, but also study objects and people quite well thanks to this. He can also see much farther than an average human, able to pick up individual leaves on a tree miles away.

Heightened Hearing: he was born with much better hearing than most if not all humans on Earth. As a matter of fact, his hearing is so great, when he was a little kid, he won multiple contests thanks to this. With hearing at this level, he can hear even slight breezes, and rustling animals from as much as an entire kilometer away. When he closes his eyes and concentrates, he can hear the sound of worms and bugs in the ground.

Advanced Physical Strength: As a master of multiple types of fighting styles, he has very high physical strength. When he was young, he was strong enough to lift a metal construction beam with his bare hands. He eventually became strong enough to stop a car with his bare hands as well, though not until he started to gain his Quincy powers.

High Intelligence: As a child, he always did better than his classmates in school, being able to skip 3 grades or more without any trouble keeping up. he graduated from basic school at just 15 years old, and also graduated from a famed university that usually took up to 10 years to graduate from, in just 5 years.

Type: TwinBow, named Algethi

Appearance:



This intricate bow is thousands of years old. It has a shield that guards the area where the user places their hand, that has a yellow bird with blue on its outline. Bright blue 'spike' shaped areas go off of the bird, and holds a red crystal off of the actual shield. The shield is attached to the main part of the bow, which consists of two eagle head-shaped parts that end in 2 light blue spikes on either side. One spike on each side have gold outlines, and point away from the bow, while the other two seem to just add length to the bow itself.

Reishi Color: His Reishi is a very vibrant, dark green, resembling ocean water.


Quincy Tools:

Spoiler:

Gintō (銀筒, Silver tubes): Gintō are small liquid-filled capsules that store spiritual energy, and are used by the Quincy for spell casting in the same way that Shinigami use Kidō. Like Kidō, they are activated by calling out various commands.

Ginto Abilities: .

Spoiler:

Quincy Technique/Powers:

Reiryoku Absorption & Manipulation: Apollo as a Quincy primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it with his own spiritual energy to form weapons. He has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of spiritual particles, such as Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. To a sufficiently powerful Quincy, there is no difference between spiritual particles and spiritual energy as a source of power. He can manipulate spiritual energy for offensive purposes.

Quincy Bow & Spirit Arrows: As his power increases, Apollo can fire higher amounts of spiritual arrows. His current limit of consecutive arrows is 2,600.

Massive Reitsu: As one of, if not the oldest living Quincys, he has gained immeasurable amounts of Reitsu. When he releases his Reitsu, he can kill normal humans just by walking near them, though it usually takes a minute or two and a human with even small amounts of Reitsu can usually survive, albeit barely.

Spiritual Awareness: As a Quincy, Apollo can sense Hollows at a significant distance. His skill allows him to sense a new Hollow in an area miles away, tell its difference, and sense its power.

Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: Apollo is also masterful with his sword, betraying his standard Quincy powers. He can not only use his own arrows as swords, but is also very efficient with his Seele Schneider, being able to combat Shinigami and Arrancar alike with just these.

Gintō Expert: He is able to use the spiritual energy stored in the silver tubes to create similar effects to Kidō; Apollo can even use his own energy rather than the energy stored in the silver tube. He is able to not only masterfully use the standard Ginto Techniques, but has been known to make his own as well.

Ransōtengai (乱装天傀; lit. Japanese, "Heavenly Wild Puppet Suit", Viz translation, "Disheveled Paradise Puppet") A high level technique known to be quite rare to ever be encountered. It allows the user to use spirit energy to manipulate their own body in the case of paralysis. Such as if the user is paralyzed by a Kidō, or some other technique like that, they can still move.

Hirenkyaku Expert (飛廉脚; lit. "Flying Screen Step/God Step", Viz translation, "Flying Bamboo-Blind Leg") This is the Quincys equivalent of flash step, except it is known as being faster. The user creates a small paltform beneath their feet that brings them where they wish. Apollo is highly skilled in Hirenkyaku, able to keep up with high-level Shinigami and Arrancar effortlessly. His skill with this ability is so great, it can rival that of old Gotei 13 captains flash step.

Licht Regen (光の雨 (リヒト・レーゲン), Rihito Rēgen; German/Dutch for "Light Rain", Japanese for "Rain of Light") A truly tremendous amount of Reiryokuis gathered behind Apollos body, which is then used to fire a huge volley of arrows at a target, with the arrows numbering in the thousands.

Himmlisch Klon Pfeil (Heavenly Clone Arrow) By using the same energy he uses to make arrows, he can create up to 15 clones of himself. Each clone acts exactly as Apollo does, the same physical movements, and the same speach. However, when hit, the arrow clones explode into a green ball of energy on impact, injuring the enemy if it was up-close. The explosions are roughly 5 meters in diameter. These clones can attack as well, except only close up. They explode when they touch their enemy. These clones last 6 posts, and when the time is up, they explode wherever they are.

Quincy: Letzt Stil: This technique is the ultimate power for a Quincy. It removes the Sanrei Glove on Apollos left arm, and increases his power by many times, up to 50 in fact. It is so powerful, it can be used to easily dispatch captains with little to no effort, but it has one major flaw. Once it is used, the user loses all of their Quincy powers.

Immortality: After certain events, he was given immortality, resembling that of Shinigami, though he never aged at all, so more like Iramasha. This doesnt affect him in combat, as he can still recieve wounds, though unless he is killed in combat, he is fated to live forever, or until he does.

Quincy Ascended Form: Bestial Mode:

How to Release: By saying "Freisetzung" any and all users change form.

Appearance:



His physical form almost completely changes. His clothes disappear, which is replaced by white bandaging that covers his crotch. His head takes on a dragonesque appearance, with four long horns jutting from his head. He also has a rhino-like horn on his snout. His mouth grows to a point, and his teeth become very sharp and jagged. He gains 2 more arms, that are attached directly below his normal arms. Bandaging forms glove-like clothing. His nails are now claw-like, very sharp.

He grows a 6 foot long tail that has sharp spines on it halfway down. He also gets two large wings on his back that resemble dragon and bat wings. They are quite large, giving him a wingspan of 16 feet. His feet also become more beast-like, with longer toes, and sharp claws on each toe. His eyes turn black and beady, like an insects. A quiver of his energy arrows is strapped to his chest, resting on his left hip. The quiver itself is rather plain except for many buckles and two pendants hanging off of it.

Discovery:

When he was 1,102 years old, he stumbled upon a group of powerful Arrancar. Being pushed to his limits eventually changed him into this form. The requirements are being exceptionally powerful, and being repeatedly pushed to, and past the users limits. The form is different for everyone, as it is just their true powers surfacing. Some may not even experience a physical change.

Form Powers:

Double Bow: Along with his two extra arms, he also gains a second bow that essentially doubles his shooting speed. With two bows, he can now shoot 5,200 arrows consecutively, which is unprecedented among Quincy. He also is able to shoot twice as fast now, considering he has two bows, which ups his fighting power to maximum heights.

Increased Physical Skills: With this powerful transformation, Apollos physical strength and powers are heavily increased. His speed, strength, and senses are exponentially increased, way past their normal limits, up to a 10x increase. His strengths are now that of a powerful Shinigamis Bankai, or even stronger, depending on the user.

Sonic Arrow: The users bows and arrows both charge up until they are covered in the users Reitsu. After just a few seconds, the user can release the arrows, sending them so fast, they create a vacuum of air. The rings indicating its a sonic speed can be seen, indicating just how fast the arrows are. The arrows travel at up to 25x the speed of normal arrows fired from the users bow(s), but deal only half damage. This is particularly effective against fast, low defense enemies, but isnt so effective against slow, strong enemies.

Sprengstoff Sprengung (Explosive Detonation): They appear to be normal arrows, but are slightly smaller. When shot from the bow, 90% of the length of the bow disappears, leaving only very small arrowheads.When the arrowheads hit something/someone, they attach to the surface instead of piercing the object. They are so small, they are actually hard to see, and nigh impossible to feel. Up to 6 can be shot onto a target at once. When the user says "Explodieren", all of the arrowheads explode into a ball of powerful Reitsu, doing more damage if their are more nearby.They dispate after 6 posts if not commanded to explode.

Elemental Arrow: The user can create any elemental arrow they so choose, whether it be fire, lightning, water, earth, etc. The arrow changes color according to the element chosen ie Fire=Red, Earth=Brown. The arrow also takes on the characteristics of the element, ie Earth=Slow, but strong, Lightning=Fast, and explosive, etc. When the arrow hits its target, it explodes into whatever element was used. If the user is smart, they can combine arrows to form combo arrows, ie using a Water and Lightning arrow together would make them much more powerful.

Arrow Burst: The user becomes enveloped in their Reitsu, forming a ball around them. The ball is about 5 meters in every direction, coming from the users body. The Reitsu also acts as a shield, protecting the user from weak to moderate attacks. After charging for 2 posts, the user then unleashes their maximum arrow capacity (5,200 in this case) in every direction, with the arrows as fast and as strong as they normally are. The user can still talk when it is charging. The arrows fly for 2 kilometers before dissipating. it is recommended the enemy take cover.

Luftraum Urteil Klingen (Sky Judgement Blades): The users arrows begin to glow the color of the users Reitsu, and then begin to transform. When done, they take the form of four swords. They resemble arrows, but appear as swords with hilts and all. They are very strong, and vibrate just like Seele Schneider, except vibrate 1.5x faster and are much stronger and durable. When used together, they can create sonic booms due to the sheer amount of vibrating. The sonic booms are the size of cars that shoot out when the swords hit each other. The booms are very destructive, able to collapse buildings on impact. They go for about 50 meters before dissipating.



Apollo was born into a rich and powerful family in feudal Japan. His family was known for its connection to many lords of the time, and supplying powerful samurai to fight in the families name. The most notable of samurai was none other than Apollos father himself, Arctrine. Arctrine had become famous for his power, being able to wipe out entire garrisons of enemy troops, though this was because he posessed minor Quincy powers, though nobody knew this.

After gaining reknown and wealth for his family, Arctrine finally sucuumbed to a fatal disease. However, just 5 months after his fathers death, Apollo was born into his family. He grew up wealthy, which gave him a snobby attitude, as he also didnt have a father figure in his life to make sure he was controlled. Th arrogant, egotistical child graduated from standard school at age 15, a few years earlier than most others.

His mother died just a few short months after he turned 18 years old, making him the head of the family, much to the dismay of his elders. Many believed him to be the head of his family, as he was selfish and foolish. After graduating from a well-known, top-class university, he decided to train in the ways of the samurai. He grew strong, and eventually won a few battles himself.

During his 27th year of life, he discovered his own Quincy powers. Though not all that strong, he lead armies into battle, more than once turning the tide of the battle with his newfound powers. He had been able to win duels from other lords, essentially making his family the dominant lordship in the entire country. However, a new, more powerful enemy rose from the shadows of others defeat at Apollos hands.

An Arrancar that went by Givetch had created a massive army of human soldiers, easily being over 10 times larger than that of Apollos. Overwhelming any and all remaining lords in the country, Givetch's forces took control of northern Japan, while Apollo had control over the south. They remained peaceful for 2 and a half years, which ended quite abruptly.

A contingent of Givetch's forces attacked and rampaged in a town called Mizuriki, that was currently under the control of Apollo. Having none of this, he dispatched 1000 of his best troops to the city, which never returned. Givetch himself had led the assault on the village, easily wiping out the human reinforcements. He continued to ransack villages along the border, with a death toll in the 10,000's. Apollo had had enough.

He himself led a huge assault on the enemy forces and land. He took back several villages, wiping out many enemies in the process. Apparently, Apollo had better trained soldiers, while Gevitch had sheer numbers. After increasing his borders to dangerously close to his enemies fortress, he had recieved a message that tsaid his nephew was dying from the same disease his father had. He decided to leave his forces there, while he went back to his home. This was a fatal mistake.

When he made it back, he found out from a messenger, that his entire army that consisted of 15,000 troops was wiped out by a force of ust 1000, led by Gevitch. Startled, he realized he had to take Gevitch on himself. He gathered a small rogue group filled with mercenaries and samurai alike. He marched towards his enemy fortress again, this time with a fiery vengeance in his eyes and heart.

Finally, on a huge battlefield, the two armies met. One side had 6,000 troops, and was led by Apollo. The other had 117,000 troops, and was led by Gevitch himself. Taking to the battlefield while the other leader sat idly by, Apollo slayed many a foe, actually giving his ridiculously outnumbered army hope. However, that soon changed. Gevitchs forces began an all-out assault, overwhelming, and slaughtering Apollos forces. With a mere 253 soldiers left, Apollo called out to Gevitch, declaring a winner-take-all duel.

The duel of wits and brawn was fairly even, each side gaining and losing the upperhand more than once. Though, the Arrancar did not tire, while Apollo began to fight on mere fumes. Deciding to end this, Gevitch unleashed his trues power, and defeated Apollo, leaving him bloodied and broken on the ground. However, in a flash, a man in a black cape that weilded a katana known as a Zanpakutō appeared, and slayed the Arrancar in one single hit. He asked if Apollo cared about his family, his name, his honor, his forces. Apollo said yes, and thus his future would change forever.

The hooded figure bestowed life and power upon Apollos broken body, rejuvinating him completely. This also gave him immortality, stopping his aging process. Age would never affect him again. Though, this came at a price. He would have to leave Japan, leave everyhting he knew and loved behind, to live a life in the shadows, protecting people from Hollows and Arrancar alike, without the humans even knowing.

Both forces left on the battlefield were tricked to see Apollos and Gevitchs dead bodies. They made a truce, and left to form their own kingdoms, leaving both Apollos family, and name behind them. Though they werent famous anymore, they lived their lives happily, without strife. Apollo never got to know this type of life, as he instead, had to live through fighting.

Apollo lived his life quietly, fighting Hollows off, and saving countless lives in the process. He also began to master his powers, though he never met another Quincy, but a few Shinigami on occasion. He fought many battles, but not once did he reveal himself to the Gotei 13. He didnt like Shinigami, as it was one that gave him his immortal life, or so he thought. He currently resides in Karakura city, protecting the city whenever danger makes its way there.

During the war against Aizen, Apollo simply ignored everything. Others didnt seek him out, as nobody even knew he was alive. He simply defended Karakura town when others could not, which means he never decided to fight the Espada that invaded the city. Instead, he just watched as events unfolded, still fighting off basic Hollows and Arrancar. During the Fake Karakura Town Arc, he left Karakura, and instead went to small cities being invaded by Hollows. At each town, he killed the Hollows, and moved to the next, until eventually he moved back to Karakura when Aizen was defeated, acting as though nothing ever happened.
