» Appearance Description: Landen stands at a height of six foot three inches, his frame bulky. His shoulders are broad and well defined with the arms to match, his biceps are well formed along with his triceps from years of fighting. His forearms are littered with scars from numerous battles against hollows. His hands are large as well and make most think twice before having a fist fight with him. His chest is well defined much like the rest of him. On his thick neck rests an almost squared head, his jaw line is well formed ending it a rounded chin, his cheek bones are high and seem to stick out as almost feminine on what otherwise would be a masculine face. His eyes are of nondescript brown coloring much like the mess of hair on his head and eye browns, his brow always seems furrowed in deep thought. On his face rests a stubble that always appears to only be a few days old.

» Personality:

Quiet: Landen is a man of few words, he would rather sit back and gauge the situation to determine if he even needs to waste his energy speaking. When he does talk for more than a few words it's typically something important he feels he needs to say. Other than that his words are reserved for only his close friends.

Unbending: No matter what challenge Landen will not falter in his course, if the stakes are set heavily against him he will continue ahead without hesitation once setting his mind on an objective. Even if his body is broken he will attempt to fight on if he has determined he needs to fight, he will bow to no unjust rule. This aspect of his nature is ultimately what led him to controlling his inner hollow.

Risk Taker: Dispute being an otherwise quiet reserved man Landen is always up for risk or two. He might quietly jump off a cliff into open darkness just to see what's at the bottom, he will whole heartedly abandon his own personal safety if it means protecting a loved one, a risk or eight hundred is worth taking for those he values.

Street Smart: Landen has had a long hard life and had to turn to the streets in order to survive. His only way to thrive way to out think the crooks he ran with and the unsavory types that most shinigami didn't associate with. For years he ran the streets n order to survive until finally joining the academy and becoming a Shinigami, but being who he was he made sure to never lose his connections as they might be able to help him in the future.

Battle wise: On the outside Landen may appear slow witted but in the heat of battle his mind works quick, he can make the most out of a shit situation to turn the battlefield into his favor. His battle instincts are one of his strongest features and he makes sure to keep them sharp by constantly engaging in battles, his book learning might be second rate but his ability to read a battlefield is top notch.

Tough Love: The biggest thing Landen thinks he can do to help those that he loves is to be tough on them, not everyone needs someone to baby them or be gentle on them. The world is way too full of soft loving people and he doesn't think it's the answer. There is always room for improvement and he is critical of his loved ones for their own good.

Enduring: Much like his unbending will Landen will endure any wrong doing if it means to protect those that he loves. He will go beyond his limits to protect his loved ones and will put his own life on the line to take pain away from others that he cares for if need be.

» Zanpakutō Name: Azai

» Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance: She's a small little spit fire, her eyes always flitting around looking for a fight. Her hair cascades down her head and shoulders the same color as Landen's, her eyes always alive and gleaming, much unlike Landen's, being a nice azure color. Her skin flawless and snow white, with the same chilling effect. Her lips scarlet and almost ALWAYS puckered as if she had tasted something tart.

Spoiler:

» Zanpakutō Spirit Personality: She's dark, lithe, proud, and powerful often to but heads with Landen, but they form an almost perfect tag team. When she enters her rage it takes all of Landen's peace to lull her. He loves her though, she is more than just a tool. She is his flame. Whenever he pulls pranks he can feel her close to him or when in a heated battle. She shines through him, vanishing the dulling aura and tarnish that envelops him when he gets in one of his moods. They live off and for each other. Each drawing courage and strength from one an other.

» Inner World: Landen's inner world is split into three parts, one being a field of shredded tree stumps and tropical tree limbs everywhere with a Aztec ruin in the center. He hasn't entered the temple yet, feeling as if he needs to become stronger before he can set foot in the holy area.


Azai's part of his realm is a lush rain forest full of vines, large trees that seem to go up past the point of view with huge leaves falling at all times, the earth is rich and the air feels moist.

Agares section of the world is much like Landen's and Azai's being a thickly over grown rain forest forever cast in twilight, another Aztec ruin lays in the center of this forest but until in Landen's the hollow beast moves freely in and out of the temple which is entirely over grown with thick vines. Moon light glints through the leaves at odd angles making beams of light appear randomly.




Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: Azai, in her sealed state is a brilliant Katana, the blade gleams even in the dark, weirdly a cross guard stems out like tree branches on both sides. The tree limbs made of metal, almost a symbol for his inner world, a land of steel and trees. The handle itself is clear, curving around itself in waves. Almost like diamond. The pummel though is only another version of the cross guard.

» Release Phrase: Show them the Huntress

» Shikai Appearance: Azai grows a chain at the end of her handle, the chain always seems long enough to cover a football field and back, on the far end of the chain a circle blade rests to slice through foes. The katana's blade itself grows another half foot and the bladed becomes jagged halfway down.

» Shikai Abilities: In Shikai form Landen gains much speed but only at night or in a forested area, if using Shikai in day time his speed stays the same as before, but under night's shroud or the forest's embrace it spikes a whole level from where it's currently at.

Shikai speed boost: passive while in shikai form, only applies in dark areas, boosts general speed by one level capping off at master level for his current tier rating

Venom overload: The circle blade at the end of the chain turns into a metallic snake head, its fangs dripping with a neon green venom, biting the enemy gets the venom in their system making it feel as if their body is alight with flame, the main goal though to be to halt an enemy. Higher powered enemies can negate this but still feel their limbs going slightly numb, unlike those at or below Landen’s level, it takes most their energy to keep the venom from progressing meaning they cannot enter advanced forms of themselves or the venom will progress. Making the effects worse over time. If they attempt to enter an advanced form the venom absorbs spirit energy and becomes even more potent, the venom also lowers mental deduction by one level. The only way to purge it is to either overload it with so much spirit energy that it burns itself out which would make the one afflicted by it weak until they could build up more spirit energy.

The attack range is 100 meters in all areas around Landen with him being the focal point.
If the enemy manages to enter an advance form or release form they can only stay in it for half the duration they are normally able to from the amount of energy needed to produce it and burn the venom out of their system.

Path of the Forest:

Puppeteer of La Lupuna: Thick branches of a large white barked tree sprout up around the field, entwining around each other until they all form a throbbing knot around Landen, like a sphere of protection. Landen is secure in the center but from there his conscious enters the living tree, no longer seeing in the normal sense but feeling the battle field, feeling the energy in the air to know where opponents appear, branches flinging out with all abandon to whack the enemy, it’s not until contact is made that the enemy is aware that the branches, dull and round as they appear, are actually sharp like a blade and can cut through steel, Landen’s spirit energy honing the branches and forming an aura around them like a knife’s edge. This gives him a 360 degree vision and attack, for now he can use it for four posts. The max range he can extend this ability is 200 meters around him at his current power level.

Thorns of Sleep: The chain on the katana wraps around the enemy as razors on the blade embed themselves in the enemies flesh, soon they begin to feel sleepy this is caused by the thorns absorbing a small piece of the enemies spirit energy and reemitting its own energy back out at the same wavelength forcing the body to think it’s under no harm it shuts down subconscious defense and slips into the body where it taps into the brain’s central control system and starts, in a way, shutting switches off and making it harder to focus until finally sleep takes the afflicted one . Higher level enemies can hold off on this for 2 rounds after being wrapped while those on Landen's level can hold off for 1 after connection as well as for weaker opponents.

Staggering Moss: Each strike with the katana creates a thin layer of moss over the area of contact, this moss eats away at the strength of others, each hit obviously affects the draining power more. So much so that it can take strength to below beginner level and make it impossible to even hold a Zanpakutō or stand. Every post it goes down half a tier unless nullified. So in one post a master would be cut down to half way between master and advanced then the next post to advanced until finally they hit zero. This moss is self sustaining, only needing a small amount of Landen’s energy to be made but once it latches onto the opponent it feeds off of the energy it’s draining. Once it’s absorbed all of the energy out of the opponent it crumbles down to ashes. It can be noted the moss needs to be overloaded in a sense with the victims spirit pressure to knock it loose or else it sticks on firmly.

Any tier above his own would have the amount of strikes needed to affect them doubled. example if Landen at tier 1-5 fought a 0-5 it would take four hits instead of the two required to lower their strength


Whistle of El Tunchi: Landen sharply inhales, filling his lungs with air while powering his own energy in as well. Upon exhaling the wind comes out like a sword, the air moving at such speeds it can cut flesh, armor, and even deflect an incoming attack. Its direction can be altered by the formation of Landen’s lips and how long he pours his energy into the attack. The longer the inhalation, the more powerful the outcome. It should be noted that this isn’t a concussive attack as one would think, if hit by the wind it feels like being cut by a sword, it’s a solid wind if that were a thing.


» Bankai Appearance: All of Landen's clothing vanishes as a shadow wraps around his body. Once the shadow settles in it becomes the pelt of a panther wrapped around his waist, covering his entire back and most of his chest as well as the hood drapes over his face, the hood being the head of the Panther itself. It appears flimsy and thin, a weak covering for battle but it adds a whole level to his durability. Black braces clasp over his wrists and black foot wraps upon his feet.

» Bankai Abilities: Cat's Eyes: They simply allow Landen to see in the dark or in dust clearly. (passive)

Hunter's Claws: Landen rakes the air with his free hand as five slashes of pure black energy burst outward. They travel a max of 50 meters and can slice clean through steel, concrete, flesh, and so on. The energy from the slashes comes like an electric blast when it connects with a living individual their muscles lock up and makes it harder for them to move, lowering speed by one level for two rounds.

tiers higher than his only take the speed debuff for one round

Snake Chain: His chained Zanpakutō carries over from shikai, the chain growing wider now and forming a giant metallic snake, the body being as wide across as a small car and as long as half a foot ball field at 50 meters. The scales on the body can be used as projectiles, each explosive as they are imbued with Landen's energy. Each projectile explosion comes out at a cero powered at his kido/cero level, the snake has a total of 50 scales it can use. This snake Lasts four rounds and can attack freely without Landen guiding it.

Lord of the Hunt: Landen's speed increases one level as well as his weapon ability for three rounds, this comes from him getting more in touch with the primal energy of his spiritual pressure and letting his instincts rule him than the focused mind of a trained fighter.

Panther's Bite: A giant maw of pure energy escapes Landen's mouth and goes straight up into the air, growing as it goes. Soon it turns back to the earth and lies straight down, the mouth stretched widely as it digs into the battlefield, caging Landen and his opponents in an area of 300 meters, in a full circle. Attempting to pass through the barrier burns the skin and sends a shock wave through the body that lowers the opponents speed by one level for two rounds, the shock wave making their muscles slower to respond as if their
body is cramping.

Tiers higher than his have the time effected cut in half, so a 0-5 would only be effected for one round.

Beast born of Shadow:A carry over from his shikai ability but expanded, when fighting in darkness, areas of shade, or night, his kido/cero level increases by one but at the cost of him draining his actual speed. Rather than use the darkness to move quickly he can utilize it by redirecting his energy from one aspect of his body to this other channel and strike

» Inner Hollow Description: The Hollow doesn't appear to resemble Landen, in fact it is shaped just like a panther would be. Only the size of a Liger. It's body onyx black with firm muscles gleaming under its furred skin. Spikes grow out of its spinal cord and where fur should be it almost appears to have armor over the skin like an armadillo. Two large horns grow out of its head infront of its ears and the horns curve back ward toward the neck. It's eyes give off an intelligent vibe as well making those who meet it know they aren't dealing with a mere monster.


Picture:

Spoiler:

» Inner Hollow Personality: Agares used to have a good amount of fun in tormenting Landen and making him feel damned for having a hollow in his soul but that was because he was crying for attention, the beast wanted to be noticed and no longer be neglected simply because it was a hollow. This was made clear to Landen when he lost control to the hollow and it almost killed a human but instead he managed to regain control and see the hollow simply wanted to be noticed, to feel wanted and since then Landen and the hollow have come to an agreement. Now Agares isn't resentful and full of hatred toward Landen, now he is bloodthirsty and wishes merely to slay whoever Landen points him at, the hollow finally being noticed and being able to do what it was meant to do.



» Inner Hollow Powers: Landen's speed jumps up once more and his strength increases as well. His strength only a little as his hollow side relies more on speed.

Cat's Call: He gains a cero of violet energy that rockets at the enemy, it takes the shape of a cat of prey's head and front legs, all three parts hitting the enemy at three different times to increase the likely hood of a successful hit. It rends flesh from bone and sends a jolt through the enemy that makes their muscles tense up as well.

Twister of El Tunchi: Much like the whistle of El Tunchi this is an attack that comes from inhaling and combining Landen’s own energy with the air in his lungs, once released the air comes out pure black like a plague mist and rapidly twirls forming a twister, the twister circles around the battlefield throwing out red lightning at those the hollow has aligned itself against or anyone in its way being that it doesn’t carry the same feelings as Landen. After it has three goes of it with the lightning the black twister crashes down on an enemy and the winds cut them hundreds upon hundreds of times within seconds before exploding outward, if a victim is caught in it when it explodes their ear drums can rupture and they find that they have a hard time focusing their eye sight for three rounds.

Range of 300 meters with a cool down of three posts

Abyssal Python Blade: In his hollow state his right hand grabs the blade of Azai and squeezes until his own palm is cut, a blood the color of onyx pours down the blade while it distorts and lengthens, Landen pulling the metal out like it’s made of putty. Once pulled to a length of 60 meters a snakes head appears at the tip of the sword with violet eyes, the sword now functions like a whip but the blade still cuts due to razor sharp scales, if contact is made the scales latch on so the snake can wrap around the opponent, once wrapped the snake opens its mouth and fires a powerful and super condensed black and violet cero from its mouth at point blank range in the victim’s face.

Claws and Fangs: An energy based attack where the hollowed Landen rakes the air with his hands and sends out ceros in the shape of black claws with violet lightning popping and cracking through them. These ceros have a dehabilitating power that saps energy out of the opponent, eah hit roughly making them lose 10% of their total energy and makes the area struck go numb, slowing them down much like Hadō number 29, it can be noted that the speed loss from the numbing affects of the attack is euqal to half a level per hit, they stack up to two levels. The difference though it that the energy they lose is gathered into a cero Landen is charging in his mouth to send back at them, after two consecutive hits he can launch the cero that is charging back out but the longer he charges it with the more power gained the better and more powerful the result. The max charge is five rounds with 6 hits. At the point where he gets the maximum charge and slows the opponent down with six solid hits from the claw ceros it’s almost impossible to dodge since it’ll travel at all the speed they have lost collectively along with Landen’s own speed behind it.

Conceptual Understanding: The Panther understands the concepts of attacks Landen creates and uses that don't even come from his power. Meaning he can access his shikai and bankai abilities in this state.



» Hollow Mask Appearance: The mask appears a simple mask of a Panther's skull but scowling with twin horns in the temples.

Learned skill: (can only be used in masked state)

• Fire Dragon's Roar! •

Landen breathes a long stream of fire which reaches somewhere between twenty and fifty feet long that becomes a large fireball at his will whenever the fire reaches the point he wishes to unleash it at. This causes heavy burning and turning sand to glass as the temperature at which his flames burn is anywhere from 1,000 F to 5,000 F depending on which 'form' he is in (Masked Shikai, Just Mask, Shikai, Bankai, etc). The massive sphere can spread from the size of a car to the size of a four lane street but grows colder as it spreads out. The smaller it is, the hotter it may be. He controls the stream of fire by directing it with his hands, before the magic begins while sucking in air then charging it with emotions, memories, passion, spiritual power and releasing it with a blazing soul!

This is a learned ability from training with Natsu

» Vizard Powers: Landen gains an additional tier of speed from his vizard powers, his durability increases one tier as well as his weapon skill.



Strike from the Dark: Here Landen's shadow rips free from his body and explodes around the battle field with a range of 200 meters, he can travel through these openings, (8 in total). The openings are temporal portals created from imbuing his spiritual pressure into his shadow before it splits to predetermined locations. They can carry attacks through them from where he is, (example that his sword stabs through one part and the blade comes out across the battlefield) and lastly they themselves form the shape of a panther at the end of the attack and it attacks the enemy, clawing at the face arms and chest. This attack being fake, it appearing real though as Landen sprints in behind the shadow beast to deliver a true strike

Panther's Blast: A cero of pure black energy that whips across the field, looking much like black lightning as a large cat's roar rips out from the blast, the roar itself enough to shatter the eardrums of any who are unlucky enough to hear it.


Flash Flood: Landen rends the ground with his Zanpakutō and dark brown muddy water shoots out, under an immense amount of pressure, a flash flood happens in seconds going in the way the cut in the ground is pointing, the force behind the water is equal to having a semi truck hit you at full speed. The water is drawn up from deep under the ground in natural streams and guided by Landen’s energy, the more power he puts in the more water that comes from the flood. Once the target is covered in the brown water the mud hardens like cast iron around joints and begins to rapidly become more dense to the point where movement is next to impossible within 6 rounds, each round the hard mud is kept on it makes the affected lose a quarter tier in speed, if the person affected is at the same tier as Landen they need advanced strength to get the mud off, any below him need master to grand Master, and above him can take it off with beginner to adept tier strength. The maximum amount of loss of speed is one level in total

Range 300 meters

Ancient Wood Healing: In areas where Reiatsu is high enough Landen can pull it into himself and form it into a seed that grows on his fore head, this takes two rounds to grow, once grown it cracks open and spreads across his forehead like a line of green paint, from there the gathered Reiatsu heals minor wounds that don’t have any organ damage so he can fight as if nothing happened, if affecting deep wounds such as a laceration that cuts into an organ or a puncture that has the same effect of damaging an organ it will heal it just enough to stop him from bleeding out, sending out small microscopic organisms that lock into once another and form a barrier to hold blood back and reroute it. It can only work on up to three major wounds and eight minor wounds. Once the limit is reach the paint dries up and flakes off of his mask.


NOTE: Any and all abilities that increase his skills do not stack more than a level and a half in total.

» Background: Landen lived a sad life for 16 years, his father leaving his mother and her drowning her sworrow til she died from the bottle. Deciding rather to live a life of freedom rather than live with his dad, who he viewed as the reason his mom died, Landen packed his things (them being little) and he moved out on the road. Luck was always with him despite the fact that he was in bad places.
He learned many tricks along his way and he walked less and less in cities as he moved along. Enjoying the quiet of the forests, he needed to escape the world after his first year alone as it was. His anger over his mother boiled to such a height that he would beat any man who even looked at him cross. But after that first year he realized he was tired except when he was in the forests. These quiet lands provided him food and sometimes even shelter from the elements. Soon he decided to stay for good amongst the trees who had whispered many songs to him and had lead him to find a peace for losing his mom.
Around the end of his second year in the forest Landen knew he had to go to his mothers grave and let her go, had to say good bye. And he did, it took weeks to get cross country and his luck failed him a few times. Once he was jumped and mugged when trying to hitch a ride, robbed of all his money and his pack all he could do was wipe the blood off his mouth and keep walking down the road, hopefully in the right direction. Once more his luck failed him when he learned his father was looking for him as he got closer to his home town, this delayed him a week as he ducked through ally way and side street to cross three counties. By the time he made it to his mother's grave his luck failed him for the final time, he fell at her grave from exhaustion. He laid on the ground, now coated in a thin layer of snow and wept for hours. As his lament ended with dry sobs and deep inhaling for air Landen swore he heard a scream that sounded familiar. Sitting up he heard it again and something in him snapped as he ran after it, his only thought was that it couldn't be. He dipped around the final headstone to see a figure dart into the tree line, the hair like his own. He let out a wail like a child as he chased the person. One more scream sounded, this time behind him. Stopping he turned to see what appeared a wolf, only the size of a horse. First he thought he was insane then he looked what the beast had pinned and he groaned knowing he had lost his damn mind as his mother screamed under the creature's paws. Claws dug into his mother and he roared like a man enraged as he rammed the animal, he died that day but so did the Hollow. The girl lived, the girl who wasn't his mom and didn't understand what had happened.
He woke up, it could have been years, or perhaps seconds. But he didn't care, all he knew was he had died and now something had carried him onward to the next life.
He moved about in a haze for a time, meeting others like himself, soon He joined the Soul Society and became a low ranking member of a nameless squad. He performed his duties, he fought evil, he saved good. Yet he felt a void in him. His Zanpakutō and him soon merged and became a unit, their understanding of each other amazing dispute the differences. After all they were the same person in a way. They loved each other and still do, they care for one another and Landen hardly had to fight to gain control. The acceptance was and is amazing between them.
But that wasn't enough to stop the Hollow from coming forth in him, it was angered at nothing yet everything, it lashed out one day at Landen. It drove him deep into its own hell world where all Landen's nightmares came true, his mother attack him, his father sought after him, Azai abandoned him. His anger returned and he began to lose himself, as the Hollow took hold, until three hands began to soothe his anger, his now accepting father whispered love to him, his now happy mother embraced him, and Azai washed her own peace over him as the Hollow screamed in agony from the pain of Landen's love. It retreated deep within but not before Landen leashed its power. That was the day he became a vizard, the day his power began to shine amongst the others, the day he was final born again.

» Role Play Sample:His foot steps were almost unheard, on the bark o the tree heard his shoes whispering to them. He stalked his prey amongst the branches knowing he would need to strike from above to kill quickly. With this his eyes lit up with animal like glee, he was going to be the hunter. The wolf among the sheep. The birds all stopped making noise, knowing the hunter was amongst them. Landen smirked as his left hand rested on the hilt of Azai, the beast only a few yards below yet it was unaware its death was at hand. "Down we go!" Azai roared in his mind as her eyes gleamed. Landen nodded and dropped, unsheathing Azai while his hair blew around wildly in the wind. His let hand moved downward, it was swift and sunk through the beast, slicing its mask in half and cutting through the hole in its chest. He grunted as he landed on the balls of his feet and turned in time to watch the hollow rip apart and vanish, sheathing Azai he smiled as his eyes glazed over once more and he sat down to enjoy the day. It was a slow day, the sun shined, the wind blew (crisply hinting of autumn) and the birds noise began again feeling the hunter gone, his other peaceful half now in his stead. His hands found his eyes as he balled his fingers into fists and rubbed his eye lids while yawning, looking much like a child. It was time for a nap he thought to himself as he let the grass rush up to meet his back and neck, tickling it as always. His slumber went undisturbed and lasted long allowing him to wake feeling better than he had in ages!
