Bayonetta in all her glory, ready to strike.

» Appearance Description: Bayonetta as she names herself, is a quite a well dressed woman. With her attributes and her curves plainly visible, her suit is like skin tight. It fits her, with a black design, and golden threads across it, looking elegant. If one looks at it, her hair never seems to be flowing, but rather merge into her clothing : however, the tail ends of her sleeves tend to mislead people, as she gives the illusion that her hair is flowing. Her clothing is high end appearing, as her boots are also high class : heeled and with straps, they complete the entire outfit, with two ribbons that seem fitting of her.

Bayonetta as Hao Fu

» Personality:

Bayonetta is attuned to clothing, colors and matching things : she prefers to stay fabulous as it were. She has a sort of refined elegance, her entire movements carrying ease and charm. She has this way of making things look effortless : she's very focused into fashion and well, the things that accompany it, deciding what is beautiful and what is not in her own tastes. She realizes other people have different tastes, and acknolwedges that : but either that shows in her words or not is an all-together different manner. No matter how much she might seem arrogant, as the woman doesn't seem to care for much, she's quite playful. She has this sort of trickster like attitude to her, playing with her foes before finishing them, or doing word plays with people she likes. Although in general she pushes people away, those she likes tend to get a bunch of teasing to conpensate for it. She has this almost easy going nature, as she's confident in whatever she does will be successful, and never seems to tolerate failure. If anything, this large self-confidence is seen as arrogance, because she does nothing to hold back on how she views things : and more often then not she sees superiority. She also has a flirty like attitude, and doesn't mind exchanging double entendres back and forth with either gender.

One thing people notice about Bayonetta fast is her tendacy to be sarcastic : the ability to say things deadpan without any hints of joking or rather, the way she just makes obvious assumptions look dumb at times. She's a bit harsh with her words, not really mincing them considering her awakening to the world. She's very compulsive, often following whatever whim she has currently rather then concretely making plans : she can do that however, but in general she prefers to go with the wind. She's also very possessive : what she consider hers is hers, no holds barred. If someone does something she doesn't like.. well, that can turn out to be quite a problem for people.

Hao Fu seems to almost be a throwback to anyone that knows Bayonetta as Elaine. With a demeanor that is gentle and yet longing, she seems like a caged bird. There is an inherant sense of sadness and beauty mixed in her words, and she often makes vague references to shadows and mirrors at times. However, she is a good person, faithful and often stands by the side of people and things she treasures. Hao Fu is actually just Bayonetta's way of showing her true self that she buried to the world, and thus Hao Fu is often one of her prescences in the human world. Also, developped from a long time ago, she shows her curiosity a lot more like this, asking questions and figuring how things work.


» Likes: Suckers, fanservice, pandas, Lancelot

» Dislikes: cockroaches and crying babies.

» Background: Bayonetta was born long ago, to a sort of double cultured life : the Moon and the Sun were focal points. She was the child of a forbidden union : and thus was Twilight and yet Dawn. But she didn't understand this as a child : just understood that nobody loved her. So she decided to make her own way. However, that is just a distant, fuzzy dream : Bayonetta remembers her life clearly from the day she was adopted by Bernad of Astolat : being his neice originally, due to her mother being related to him. Through several generations ago. But that was unimportant : for Bernard was a man of his word. He adopted her secretly, claiming her as the daughter of his recently dead wife : the daughter that was frail to the world, and weak. He said she had a curse lain on her : that she could not look outside, elsewise she would die. And thus, Elaine of Astolat was born : and she was never allowed outside, but only around in the castle. She wore a heavy veil in order to hide her view from the outside world, instead using mirrors. It was hard at first, but then she began to believe in the curse herself, which made it easy.

One day, she saw a beautiful man : and she held her tongue, her breath. Soon enough her father organized a jousting tournament, attended by the King and his knights. Of course.. the one she had seen that day was presented to her as Lancelot. And begging, she wanted him to wear his token. And he agreed, but disguised as so he would not reveal something to someone. Elaine didn't care : her heart beat faster with him around. It was.. new and she wanted more. However, she heard of his injury and thus, the Lady took her time in tending to him, after begging he be brought to her chambers. Once he had been recovered, he offered to pay her : but insulted, Elaine simply handed him his shield. She had been guarding it this whole time. And as Lancelot left the castle, Elaine's gaze was seen to be looking out of the window. That activated the so called curse : but something else was taking hold in her heart. Pain. And a sickness that could not be cured.

Thus, she fell into a coma, as her entire system was re-awakening : however, she seemed like the dead. Wrapping her in cloth, and then sending her boat, it floated to Camelot and the King's court : and from there, she was sent back across the lake, hoping for a long sleep, and a good journey. The Casket sank once released, as per her wishes. And thus, her bloodline encased her in a sort of protective sleep, as time began to pass by. It was just floating like a sort of clock work : and without a last warning, her energy burst : something woke, as she defeated things with a few movements. But fate had begun to turn it's wheels, as she tossed her head, and found herself travelling with the wind. Free to be where she chose.. but what path could the caged bird, unknowing of the truth of her entire past, take? Only the path on which to recover her memory.

» Soul State Evolution:

-- The Witch --
Bayonetta is a witch : she has an intimate understanding of abilities that her ancestors used, albeit mostly by instinct. As such, she has many abilities associated with this quality, including general witchcraft.

Runes: Bayonetta understands the uses of runes, and how to create them intimately. It seems almost instinctive, but she is able to make a rune to provide an effect desired. The runes themselves are ever changing : but each time she uses a rune, she keeps it memorized and places it into a list in her head. She knows this, but the list itself is empty right now, considering she had just re-woken, and is quite confused at her life right now.

Circuits: Bayonetta has an understanding of how energy flows to and from her body : as such, she can utilize a technique that instead of casting spells with words, she simply utilizes her energy. However, spells and what not apply to runes, and whatever else she may learn, including Chi techniques. It's more or less a short cut that allows her to apply what may be a lengthy ritual, such as summoning a demon familiar, into the span of a few moments.

Ascendance: Bayonetta is strange : she doesn't seem to be able to necessarily die of age or disease and could die from battle wounds only. Even then, she heals ridiculously fast, and seems to be able to subconciously control her energy to such an extent that it will heal her. However, this energy is not only an exterior energy, but should something seal her access, it resides in her body with such function. So in essence, Bayonetta could extorize her healing energy to help someone, or simply leave it in her natural body.

Witch Time: Bayonetta is able to do something named Witch time. Should all conditions be right [5 of her own have passed, she has pinpointed dodged a strike, or she has landed a hit in the previous post] she can slow time temporarily. That moment in time is only slowed down for as long as her to preform 1 complicated action. Complicated actions are usually such things as loading and firing a gun, running and attacking a target, casting a technique, blocking an attack. Simple actions can be done up to two, and they are usually a simple action, such as shooting, running, jumping etc. [This skill requires that the user exorcises common sense and what not.

Familiars: Bayonetta is able to create, summon and control familiars : a clear cut example is making a wolf of glass to go scout something. Bayonetta can access the familiar at any time, as long as she created it. The familiar skill allows her to also take hold on demonic and living creatures, as long as they willingly subsise themselves to her control. She can also offer contracts with such familiars to others : for a price. Bayonetta has demonic spirits residing in her hair, but she had not been able to summon one since her awakening, just a bare few months ago.

Bullet Hell : Bayonetta is strangely apt : she can weild four guns at once, and even other weapons. For any of her weapons that require ammo, she doesn't need to fill it up : simply because she rapidly produces ammo out of surrounding energies and even energies from others : as long as a single source lays about, she can produce ammo for her weapons. This includes arrows, bullets, grenades : just about anything with an ammo amount. [logical sense is expected to be followed however.]

Purgatory Shift: Bayonetta has the ability to send herself to an alternate world. Much like Konan's Intagiable, Bayonetta can fade her existance into a form relatively less then shadow : spiritual and mortal things will not be aware of her presence. However, if they exist on more then one plane, or rather, have the capability to see to another plane, then they can visualize her. She cannot harm a spiritual or mortal being whilst in this form, and they cannot harm her. She can effect objects that are non-spiritual and non-living/posessed. Things such as a pot, a tree, a pillar. But nothing like an enchanted sword or a magical island. Combat can be conducted on this plane as well, as long as both participants can be inside of the plane, rather then just percieve it. Bayonetta can even bring someone with her, as long as she has an appropriate rune/item to do so.

Peak: Bayonetta's body is much more physically advanced then most other humans : she can run and jump long distances, almost to a point of being super human. However, this is only in stamina and athletic ability : her strength is definitely above human, but not to the point of lifting cars without assistance. More or less, it makes Bayonetta more althetically flexible and more durable then anything.

Powers

» Chi Powers:

Geppo: Being that there powers somewhat evolve around the Yin and Yang, moon step would be their form of flash step, high speed movement where in the case of tier you will be able to keep up with the Shinigami's flash step. Yuèqiú bù thought does have one thing that is different from the Shinigami's flash step because it makes no noise.

Vindeca "Heal": Using Chi in order to get their bodies to the best shape as possible, using the chi flowing in there own bodies they are able to regenerate faster then the normal human beings this doesn't mean their bodies heal instantly, it's almost like the Shinigami, there bodies can heal faster then normal humans can, this doesn't pertain to any injuries like a cut off limb, they cannnot regenerate a arm or a thumb or anything, these are flesh wounds to the body.

Tekkai "Iron Mass": Training themselves as much as possible along with the Chi in their own bodies they have formed a almost 'perfect' body where their muscles are so close together that they have higher endurance then the normal human, also with using this they are able to form Chi on their own skin, this is constantly active, and is a lot like the Arrancar's own Hierro.

Fir 'Hair'': Bayonetta has the ability to manipulate her hair with chi : that's why her clothing is comprised of her hair. She can make general shapes like a fist and reinforce her hair with Tekkai. More or less, it's the arbitary control of her hair. Anything more specific then just general things such as punching, binding, etc. requires a seperate technique following this one.
