Hakuya Atae (unfinished)

[hakuya]

Name: Hakuya Atae
Age: 537 (looks 19-21)
Gender: Male
Personality:

Hakuya, at first, appears to be a lazy, slothful individual. He is rarely seen doing anything other than sleeping, and he prefers to hand off his actual work to his subordinates. Hakuya only works when he absolutely has to, and even then he hates every second of it. He will take ever opportunity to shrug responsibility and make someone else do his part. He generally gives off an air of apathy or lethargy. Very few people have ever seen Hakuya do any sort of physical activity, even engaging in combat, and so it is a wonder that he maintains his amazing body, or that he is actually an incredible fighter.

Hakuya doesn't appear to give a damn about anything, really. He greets everything, from deaths to gifts, with the same bored, apathetic attitude. He never appears to be motivated or inspired by anything to do anything. He doesn't care about what people think of him or their feelings, which explains his sharp tongue and constant sarcasm. He treats his subordinates like trash, and expects them to follow his every command to the letter. And they do, lest they incur his wrath, which is something no one wants to do. The mark of a commander, according to Hakuya, is being able to do whatever you want to and still have your subordinates follow you.

This is all an act, however, as the actual Hakuya is actually a pretty nice, fun-loving guy. The thing is, though, he's pretty hard to get going, and requires a good shove to get motivated about anything. This can apply even to actual fights, since if he doesn't believe violence is worth it, he won't go anywhere near all-out.

Hakuya isn't what you'd call shy, though he isn't a loud/obnoxious person by anyone's standards. He's even been known to streak occasionally. He values friendship, despite whatever claims he makes to the contrary. The only reason he isn't more open to people is that it takes a very special kind of person to motivate Hakuya enough for him to open up to them. So far, since his desertion from Soul Society, he has yet to met such a person. Furthermore, the events leading up to and since his desertion have caused him to close himself off from other people, as much for their own good as his. If someone ever did break down his walls, they would find that Hakuya is a pleasant, friendly fellow. He can be both a great friend and ally, or a merciless, implacable foe.

Hakuya usually does whatever he can to avoid a conflict. He won't even draw his sword or cast a kidou unless it is certain that he can't get out of the fight. Even then, it is rare for him to release his shikai, powerful though it may be. Hakuya's style of fighting at this point is entirely defensive. He won't attack or make any sort of offensive movements at all, instead focusing solely on warding off incoming attacks, dodging, or running away.

Once Hakuya gets angered or serious in a battle, his attitude takes a complete 180. He becomes a personification of death, so to speak. He seldom speaks at this point, or even acknowledges that the source of his anger is anything more than a dog that needs to be put down. He won't hesitate to release his resurreccion or bankai, regardless of how weak or powerful the foe is. Nothing can stop him once Hakuya gets truly pissed, and the only smart thing to do is try and run away.

Appearance:

Hakuya has a toned, atheletic body, similiar to a track runner. He is lean, though one call tell his body is packed with muscle just by looking at him. As a result of his many years on the run from both Shinigami and Hollow, Hakuya's body is covered in scars from hundreds of battles. Most of these are relatively small and unnoticeable, but a few stand out. The most obvious of these is a rope burn scar around his neck, the result of surviving a lynching. His left arm also has a large scar, just below the elbow, that wraps itself all the way around the limb. It looks as if someone ripped or cut off his arm, and it was then sewn back on.

Hakuya has pale skin, though not so pale as to appear sickly or unhealthy. His eyes are dark green, with small flecks of gold or brown in them that reflect light. His hair is jet black and very spikey, and when not sticking up at all angles reaces down to his shoulders. A few stray bangs always fall across his face, usually inbetween his eyes.

When the man isn't streaking, he can be found wearing a tight black shirt, a pair of ripped and holey blue jeans, a pair of black Converse hightops, and a black leather motorcycle jacket with a fur collar.

Hollow Mask:

Hollow Powers:

Bala (Ð鏎 (¥Ð¥é), bara; Spanish for "Bullet", Japanese for "Hollow Bullet") Bala is an Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate but the damage is much the same. Stronger Arrancar can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.

Garganta (ü\Ç» (¥¬¥ë¥¬¥ó¥¿), garuganta; Spanish for "Throat", Japanese for "Black Cavity") is how Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Kaname T¨­sen and Kisuke Urahara have also demonstrated the ability to use the technique. 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.

Cero (ÐééW, ¥»¥í, Sero; Japanese for "hollow flash," Spanish for "zero", Doom Blast in the Viz translation) is a form of attack used by Menos, Arrancar and Vizard. It consists of firing a blast of concentrated spirit energy at the target. While in most cases it is fired from the mouth, some Arrancar and Vizard are capable of firing Cero from their hands, fingers and other parts of their bodies. This often requires the user to under take a specific pose, with Starrk being the only exception. The power, force, speed, color, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength of the user (i.e., the stronger the user, the stronger the attack), and there are some Arrancar and Vizard who have come up with their own variation.

Cero Infidad (Infinity Cero): Hakuya charges up a normal cero, but condenses it down upon itself and charges several more cero around it, resulting in a swirling mass of energy the same size as a cero, but with the compressed power of several dozen cero. He then fires it from his hand, much like a normal cero. However, at a certain point, he releases a pulse of his own reiatsu that travels through the cero, breaking it up into countless slivers of reiatsu. These much smaller, faster cero travel in every direction, reaching speeds equal to that of a bala, while still retaining the power of an above-average cero.

Inner Hollow:

Hakuya's Inner Hollow calls himself Shiroiyaju, a play on the name of his zanpakuto. He appears to be an exact twin to Hakuya's zanupakuto, but white where Kuroiyaju is black and blue where Kuroijayu is red.

Shiroiyaju is, unlike his counterpart, fairly calm and social. He always greets Hakuya with a polite, though very sarcastic, salutation, and speaks with a slight British accent. Shiroijayu uses only the utmost courtesy when speaking with Hakuya, though again, dripping with sarcasm and hidden threats. He is a passive-aggressive, meaning he makes no overt attempts to rouse Hakuya's anger or insult him. He instead relies on wordplay and insinuations, only openly rebelliong against Hakuya once the two begin to seriously throwdown.

Zanpakuto's name:

Kuroiyaju (Black Beast)

Zanpakuto Spirit:

Kuroiyaju appears to be a massive black monster, vaguely shaped like a lion or tiger, but constantly surrounded by a vortex of black reiatsu that obscures his true form. Hints of black or red fur can be occasionally seen through the reiatsu, and when the beast speaks one can see row upon row of gleaming, sword-like silver fangs. The spirit also has glowing red eyes, and each leg is tipped in four razor sharp claws.

Hakuya's spirit is a violent, raging force, quick to anger and always looking for a fight. He literally can't sit still, as he is constantly thrashing about his inner world and roaring in the back of Hakuya's mind. Kuroijayu loves violence and destruction. He is always urging Hakuya to challenge anyone and everyone he encounters , regardless of how powerful they are. Because of this violent nature, Hakuya must often battle his spirit for control of his powers, as Kuroiyaju likes to make sure his master is powerful enough to wield him.

Un-released Zanpakuto's Appearance:

Kuroiyaju's appearance is unique among zanpakuto. Instead of appearing as a sword or some other weapon, it takes the form of a black leather choker around Hakuya's neck. To release it, he snaps it off his neck and crushes it into dust.

Shikai Release phrase::

"Strike down the Heavens, Kuroiyaju."

Shikai Appearance::

Kuroiyaju takes the form of a black fire of reiatsu on both of his arms. The fire reaches up to his elbows, and completely covers everything below them. Towards his hands, the fire begins to take the shape of a dragon's head, with his hand forming the mouth and his fingers as the fangs.

Shikai Abilities::

My Body is My Weapon: The flames on Hakuya's arms allow his strikes to hit with the force of a zanpakuto. His punches deal slashing and cutting damage on par with a Captain's released blade.

Shinsasu (Death Strike): By charging up a line of reiatsu along his arm, Hakuya can release a blade-shaped blast of energy by swing his arm through the air. Shinsasu functions much like Ichigo Kurosaki's Getsuga Tensho, but much more powerful.

Narakushikon (Hell's Fang): Hakuya sends a surge of reiatsu through one of his arms, causing the flames upon it to rapidly expand and solidify into the form of a massive spike or blade that can deal massive damage to the foe. After the initial attack, Hakuya can cause the blade of reiastu to explode.

Nai-Inukugi (Dead Spike): When Hakuya strikes the ground, he sends a massive amount of reiatsu into the earth, which then erupts in the form of a massive spike beneath his enemy's feet.
