Undead Information

Fora long time, the whole existance of the Undead was considered nothing but a myth, because sightings of them could be considered more rare than a Vasto Lorde doing the Caramelldansen. However, as an urban myth, they always existed, in both the Sugiura Lands and Soul Society - men and women with the ability to shift into a monstrous form of destructive force, and a wonderful form of a majestic beast able to conjure amazing powers.
However, it was only over the last 30 years, that these beings really started to turn up and make themselves visible. Living hidden from all societies for almost all the time, only the current Queen and King of the Sugiura knew of their existance. These beings gave themselves one name: Undead.
An Undead is a lost soul, a Plus, fused with a Guardian Beast. But since normally a Plus can't enter the Sugiura Lands and Guardian Beast plains, their existance should be
impossible. However, whenever a soul is send to Soul Society with Soul Burial against their own will (or through an interference in the spiritual boundaries), there is the chance lingering Reiatsu will interfere with the sending and spiral them off into another
dimension. Lately though - in the last centuries - spiritual phenomena can also simply absorb them from the real world into another dimension. Most of the time, they land in Hueco Mundo and get eaten. Only a very small percentage actually lands in the Sugiura Lands, and even less manage to fuse with a Guardian Beast before they get destroyed by the environment of this dimension. Once the fusion occurs, the soul is
forever removed from the soul circle.
Once a Guardian Beast tries to attack a Plus, they can and will fuse together, forming a monstrous form. Sometimes this menancing beast almost looks humanoid at first
view, but cleary isn't one. They always seem to have a certain animal theme, like bird or grasshopper, with vicious natural weapons, and little intellect. The first thing a newborn Undead will do is rip open the fabric of space and time, and slip into the real world. There, the monster will search for the original body (read: the slowly rotting corpse) of the Plus part. Only if they manage to find this body and completely destroy it (burning or turning it to dust will usually be enough), they will stay in existance, and not simply vanish forever.
Once the original body is destroyed, the fused being regains their mind, and humanoid form. Their memories are often whirled together, clouding exact things and making the life before seem like a dream. This is called 'the Awakening'.

Powers & Forms

A Guardian Beast normally gives a Sugiura the power to assume forms, depending on their Reiatsu and training. However, Undead are one being fused together, their powers work in a slightly different 'setup'.The next stage all Undead can access, but not all can master, is the Monster Form. This resembles a Shinigamis Shikai, and grants the user special elemental, magical, or physical powers, based on what Guardian Beast half they have. Their powers are just as wide-spread as a Guardian Beasts.
Finally, the strongest of the Undead can enter a stage known as 'Guardian Beast Form'. But they don't simply change into the GB fused with them, but rather, into a humanoid, highest level Guardian Beast. In this form, their powers are increased dramatically. They can fuse together with a Sugiura of a different clan for a short amount of time, to increase the potential power of both, granting them two Sacreds at the same
time. However, this power comes with a great price - only a short time can be spend in this form, or the Reiatsu of the Undead will run out, and he will cease to exist.
Lastly, all Undead have one power the same, called the 'Dead Eyes'. It is impossible to decieve one of the Undead with an illusion, no matter what kind - they simply have no
effect on them. This ability is always in effect.


The personality of an Undead is usually a mixture of Plus and Guardian Beast, but since most fused beasts are very feral, just as many stay nearly the same, but with a wilder and more outgoing persona. In fact, the normal Undead will seem not really 'undead', but more like a very happy and energetic person. This is one of the reasons why they could hide for centuries and millenia.
However, this is not always the case. An Undead can be brutal, proud, cautious, a coward, a hero or a villain - not two are the same. However, all Undead have a certain natural instinct not to harm their race, even though they have no goal together or real organization most of the time.
This instinct makes it still possible for two Undead to hate each other, or for one to kill the other. However, every Undead would feel a strong personal rejection once their thoughts drift to harming more than 2 of their kind, and only the most mad of them all could commit such an act. Otherwise, Undead lack ranks - unless they follow the order of the Ancestors.
While it is not mandatory for the Undead to join any organization, or follow orders, a few of them are in an order known as 'Dead Apostles' which are allied with the Sugiura Kingdom under Misaiko. The ranks of the Dead Apostles are: True Ancestor, Dead Apostle Ancestor, Dead Apostles, which work directly under the Dead Apostle Ancestors, and finally, the Dead.



The main reason why there are only so few Undead compared to the magnitude of other Sugiura is not just the way one can become an Undead. While it is very rare for one to appear, no Undead can produce offspring of any sort - no matter with what race they try it. Over half of the existing Undead don't even feel sexual urges or pleasures to begin with. This is one of the main reasons why they are called Undead - Those who are truely dead can't give birth to new life.
Another reason for their name - and the original origin of it - is that, should they die, their soul will vanish forever. Other races may re-enter the circle of souls as spirit particles, but Undead fade into nothingness.

Code:

[center][b][size=18]Undead[/center][/b][/size]


[b]Name:[/b] The new name the Undead goes by - may be the original human or Guardian Beast name, too.
[b]Former Human Name:[/b] The name the original human had
[b]Former Guardian Beast Name:[/b] Self-explainatory, the name if the Guardian Beast that fused with the human soul.
[b]Element:[/b]
 Every Guardian Beast has an inherted element, be it a classic element
like fire or water, or an exotic one like poison or Reishi. This
determines the basic outlines of your power.
[b]Age:[/b] Age they
died at, and current age. Remember that you can't be older than
'relatively' humanity (around 20000 years MAX!)
[b]Gender:[/b] Male,
Female, Trap, Reverse Trap? Some Undead can actually shift genders in
their release-forms, if your character can do that, put the weakest
release forms gender here.
[b]Orientation:[/b] Neutral, Evil, Goodfag? This tag is optional.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Two Paragraphs minimum. Pics can be included or used instead.

[b]Personality:[/b] Minimum is 2 Paragraphs, the longer the better.

[b]Death/Awakening:[/b]
 Their life till their death, their awakening, finding of the real body,
 destruction of it, and further history.

[b]Human Powers:[/b] The
 powers in human form. Remember, those are usually weaker than a
Shinigami in Shikai. As a default, all Undead can mask their Reiatsu to appear human.
[b]Weapon:[/b] Undeads are able to create weapons from their
own selves or use technology and artifacts. You can chose not to use a
weapon in human form. Weapons in other forms are listed as powers. A weapon can even evolve together with an Undead.

[b]Monster Form:[/b] The appearance of this monstrous form, and it's natural weapons.
[b]Monster
 Powers:[/b] The power of the monstrous form is slightly higher than a
normal Shikai for most Undead, but also takes a toll on clear thought until it is completely mastered.

[b]Guardian
 Beast Form:[/b] The appearance of this wondrous form. Appearance is
most likely a bit animalistic still, but mostly humanoid. There are some examples to this, where the
Guardian Beast Form looks more like an 'evolved' or 'surpassing' version
 of the Monster Form.
[b]Guardian Powers:[/b] Think Bankai, and you know the strength of this stage. However, Bankai as if [i]someone on your current level[/i] had it. An Undead of tier 2-3 won't even come close to being as strong as a Captain with a Bankai in raw power.


[b]RP Sample:[/b] The better this is, the higher the chance for a high tier!
