Adonai Atroz [WIP]

Name: Adonai Atroz
Age: 363
Gender: Male

Orientation: Freelance

Appearance: An arrancar that most would assume to be nothing more than a human boy; no older than 17. Standing only 5'6" with a rather scrawny physique, he gives off the impression of frailty. He is clothed in white hakama and black sash, that are standard arrancar gear, a hooded, sleeveless, white, button-up shirt that is left open to reveal the sleevelees black shirt worn underneath. Fantasma, his zanpaktou, is strapped diagnally across his back. His hair is black and cut short, for the most part, save for the bangs which are purple and hang down to his chin. The only remnants of his mask are the fox-ish ears on top of his head, that are more often than not covered up by his hood.

He also has three very noticable scars. One of which goes all the way across the front of his neck. The other two form a large 'X' across the bridge of his nose.

Personality: Adonai seems to believe that it was his destiny to keep watch over the human world from the Hollow side. He sees himself as the anti-Shinigami, symbolized by the outfit he now wears.

He is rather kind-hearted, as far as Arrancar go, and would rather not partake in battle if possible. As far as interaction with others is concerned, he is generally a soft-spoken fellow, which only adds to the frail facade.

Of course this relatively docile soul does have its flaws. He tends to look down on others weaker than himself usually insulting them or bluntly pointing out their own flaws. It appears that even the seemingly gentle can have a harsh side to them.

While he doesn't particularly hate the Shinigami, he doesn't exactly care for them either. The same can be said of other Arrancar, but he will remain repsectful to those that he knows are more powerful than he

Abilities:

Cero
High-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as the mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only menos, arrancar, and vizard have so far been shown to use cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently.

Bala
Arrancar alternative to the cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires like a bullet. Though weaker than a cero blast, it moves twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate.

Sonido
Sonido is the arrancar equivalent of the Soul Reapers' flash steps and the Quincy hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances.Use of sonido is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for flash steps.

Garganta
How arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.

Pequisa
Pesquisa is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami ability to sense spiritual pressure. It functions similar to sonar.

Hierro
Refers to the hardened skin of the arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. With their skin, an arrancer can block even released zanpakutō bare-handed and strengthen their physical attacks. But their skin is by no means impenetrable. Stronger arrancar have proportionally stronger skin. Using hierro arrancar can block Shikai released zanpaktou up to those in their bracket of power unless they put reiatsu into their blade.

Sealed Zanpakutô: At first glance, Fantasma appears to be a slightly longer than average katana while sheathed. In actuality, it takes the form of a pair of kodachi, each having a blade roughly 1 1/2 feet long. One blade is sheathed normally while the second is hidden with the with the handle appearing as the bottom of the sheath.

Skill Level: Pesquisa: Beginner/Adept/Advanced/Master
Skill Level: Sonido: Beginner/Adept/Advanced/Master
Skill Level: Cero/Bala: Beginner/Adept/Advanced/Master

Release: Echo, Fantasma

Resurrección: Upon release, Adonai floats a few feet off the ground before being engulfed by an orb of black reiatsu. While in the reiatsu cocoon, his nails elongate and sharpen into short, but vicious claws. A three foot long curved blade sprouts from each of his wrists, on the outer side of each forearm. Similar blades, only shorter in length by roughly two feet, grow on the back of each ankle. After the transformation is complete, the black orb tears open in the front. The reiatsu cocoon then reshapes itself to form a pair of large bat-like wings on Adonai's back. The 'X' scar on face also turns a dark red color.

Resurrección Techniques:
Refleja Barra
Adonai slashes with one of the blades on either his wrists or anlkes sending forth a blade of his reiatsu. The blade begins as cutting wave of reiatsu. It can, however, be dulled at will to allow it to bounce off of what it strikes and then re-sharpened into a cutting blade again. He can fire off multiple blades in succession, but can only control the dulling or sharpening of two at a time.

Deus ex Segunda: N/A

History:

Tragedy Befalls the Happy Home

Xander Holland, 16 years old, was your run of the mill peasant child. His father, Cecil, worked as a carpenter; providing as much as he could for his wife, and son. His mother, Evelyn, spent most of her days at the house. Every once in a while, son would accompany father and assist him on the job. This was certainly not one of those days.

While Cecil was away on a job, Xander had been asked by his mother to go to the market for food. Obviously he had no choice, but comply. With the coin pouch in pocket, the boy went on his way; completely oblivious of the creature that was following him and the small insect that had latched onto his neck.

Upon returning home, Xander stopped short at the door. He tried to raise his hand to push the door open, but to no avail. His body no longer seemed to answer. The insect that had taken root paralyzed its victim and turned control of the body over to the Hollow that had planted it. The boy was now nothing more than a tool for its twisted game.

The door swung open and Xander, under Hollow control, strode inside. Evelyn was beginning to make preparations for dinner and didn't hear the door. She also didn't hear the boy come up behind her until it was too late. Before she had a chance to turn around and welcome her son home, she collapsed the ground with a knife in her back. Xander reached down to retrieve the knife leaving his mother to bleed to death on the floor.

Hours later, Cecil returned home to be met at the door by his loving son. Xander went to give his father a hug and then stopped short. The last thing Cecil heard was "Forgive me, father." before meeting the fate his wife had earlier that day.

No longer having any need for Xander, the Hollow released its control. Unfortunately the boy had been completely aware of everything he did that day. He was a murderer. His parents were dead and by his own hand. As a final act of repentence, he retrieved the blade and slit his throat. This wound would seem to scar his very soul.

It was all for naught. Years passed by as he waited for the forgiveness that would never come. There would be no Shinigami to guide this lost soul. He was truly all alone. Soon his soul chain would begin to deteriorate and the Hollow transformation would commence...

The Path to Greatness is Strewn With Corpses

The departed human, Xander, was gone, but not forgotten. His final hours were a resounding memory through the mind of the Hollow he had become. Loneliness and sorrow were replaced by the thought of revenge against the twisted being that had taken everything from him and thus, the hunt began.

He cared not for harming the souls of humans and would only satiate his hunger with others of his kind. Many years were spent in search of a single Hollow and countless others were slaughtered along the way, but his prey continued to elude him. Perhaps it had already been killed by a Shinigami or some other Hollow. It seemed the closure he sought would never come, but still he continued on the path of vengeance.

With every Hollow he consumed, there was the sense that he was getting slightly more powerful. It wasn't much longer before he began the evolution to Gilian class Menos Grande.

The long years spent as a Gilian were little more than a blur of the continued hunt. Countless other Menos were destroyed in search of revenge, yet still his prey had remained elusive. This eventually led to his evolving to the Adjuchas class.

As an Adjuchas, he took on the appearance of a bipedal creature with large bat-like wings on its back, a long curved blade protruding from each wrist and ankle. His mask was in the shape of a fox's head. His new look came with a new view on his after-life. Thirst for revenge had been quelled and in its place was his own sense of justice. The shinigami were obviously not doing their job so he took up the role of Hollow protector of human souls. This earned him the name "Fantasma Atroz" (atrocious phantom) to his fellow Hollow.


'X' Marks the New Beginning

Of all his time as an Adjuchas, one day stuck out above all the rest. He had followed a Gillian to the living world hoping to destroy it before it could cause anyone any harm. His quest was cut short by a Shinigami on patrol in the area, probably a third seat of one of the Gotei Divisions, but he never bothered to ask for a name.

Shortly after dispatching the Gillian, the Shinigami turned on Fastasma Atroz, thinking that he too was here to wreak havoc on the human world. Battle soon ensued and suprisingly the Shinigiami stood toe to toe with Atroz. The melee shifted in favor of the Shinigami, when he landed a devastating pair of blows to Atroz's face with his Zanpaktou. The cuts left a gaping 'X' shaped wound through the Adjchucas's mask. Rage swelled within Fantasma Atroz as he began to charge a Cero. Every ounce of reiatsu left in the Hollow's soul was being put into the attack and the Shinigami became paralyzed by the sheer force of the power given off. Shortly the Cero was unleased leaving Atroz floating alone while the ashes of the Shinigami fell the ground below.

Blinded by rage and pain from the major wound to his face, Atroz began to claw at his mask. Reiatsu seemed to surge from the 'X' shaped wound as the mask was inadvertently torn free. He quickly became enveloped by the swirling spirit energy. Slowly he felt his body transforming yet again. As the reiatsu faded away, he emerged anew as an Arrancar.

The newly born Arrancar needed a new name. For reasons unknown, he decided on Adonai. The nickname given to him by other Hollow would be split. "Fantasma" was given to the zanpaktou that had materialized along with his transformation and he decided to take "Atroz" as his surname. The 'X' shaped wound caused by the Shinigami would leave a brutal scar over the bridge of his nose and the scar across his throat remained as the bitter reminder of the final day of his human life.
