Shinigami Template
Name: Hollowcroft Raven


Age: 1200


Visual Age: 19

Gender: Male


Appearance:

Spoiler:

From the very first meeting, the thing that will stand out about this man are his eyes. His beautiful, deep, coy, and usually stoic blue eyes seem to see into your very soul. They are as empty as the Great Abyss, and as coy as a dark night. But there are times when his anger flares and they will cease to be coy or stoic. His blue eyes suddenly turn into a midwinter's storm, causing one to almost wish they were stoic once again.

His skin in general seems just a step above pale, and a step below the color of a standard Caucasian. There are no scars on his body (yet), and he is void of any and all natural imperfections on his skin. He does have some "unnatural" imperfections though. A tattoo of a raven graces his back. The setting is a large full blue moon, a single cloud at the base of the moon, and a sitting raven with a deep red eye on the cloud. This tattoo takes up all of his upper back. Over his lower back is a tattoo of a butterfly done in a tribal style His skin is also very soft to the touch, but is also abnormally cold. Not freezing like Death, but not exactly alive either.

His hair is an odd platinum color. He was just born that way. It is not a shiny gray, or a glossy white. It is legitimately platinum. He keeps his hair cut short, sometimes letting it grow out so he can form two small ponytails from it. The color of his hair and the shape of his bangs only adds to the mystery of his eyes. It makes them seem deeper and darker than they really are, but you'd only ever notice if you caught him in a room with poor lighting.

His body is tallish (around 5 foot 11) and he weighs around 136lbs. He is a tad underweight, but he goes in cycles. He will put on anywhere from 3-5 pounds, and then lose it. This is so that he never really has any hindering problems with his underweight status. One can tell when he is gaining weight because of his personality (see the Personality section) While he is quite lithe, he does have evidence of muscle. This evidence he doesn't let show though. If he were to let it show, one would see that he has muscles on his arms, chest, stomach, and legs, but they are not bulging. They are not very defined either, but should he flex it would become obvious.

When he is in the Human World under a Gigai, his outfits vary. He crafts very exotic clothing for these trips, and has been known to sometimes dress like that in his own office with his haori on top.
Personality:

As one could imagine from his general look, Raven is stoic in appearance and so they'd assume he'd be stoic in personality. They would be right if they knew him as a Shinigami. Since leaving the Soul Society he has lightened up...sort of. He's become more playful and lazy...more like a feline. Because of this, most people assume he is to weaker than he really is.

As far as his treatment of people is concerned he hates them to be blunt. He despises the association that comes with living because he hates that the MAJORITY of people he will meet will be ruled by emotion over reason. Of course this comes from his own feelings on content while he is feeling nothing (a bit of an oxymoron but the point is still the same). And so to people who first meet him, they will see a distance, lazy, cold, and all around rejecting man. He will not hesitate to deny someone the time of day, and he will not lend a hand to those around him if they have not demonstrated the desire to help themselves.

While in a diplomatic situation though yet again another "mask" is donned. Suddenly no longer is he lazy or have this bored expression on his face (sometimes), but he seems to double in his cold nature, zeroing in on his "enemy's" weakness and picking at it until it becomes a fatal flaw. If he finds himself on the losing side of things, then he will simply accept this loss but make sure the person (or people) fall along with him.

There is also a more aggressive side. Now, this is where things get a bit...off. When in his usual stoic mode, he is thoughtful enough in terms of thinking, not in terms of kindness. When he is aggressive, his thought process increases even more. He is deadlier when aggressive than when "sane" Which can be traced back to his past. This critical thinking he posses in this stage is the worst situation for anyone to be in. The adrenaline in his system assists him in moving faster, hitting harder, and reacting quicker. That coupled with his knowledge of the body, and his skill, makes stage 1 of aggression very deadly. Stage 2 is fifty percent emotion, and fifty percent thought. Once he reaches Stage 3 his aggression is similar to everyone else's. It is all emotion, and while he does have a thought process, it's nothing near as critical to Stage 1. It's more like everyone else's. He's aware of what he's doing, he knows what they are doing, but he just wants to achieve his end.

Nicknames:
La Volpe - "The Fox" Which is odd considering his "feline nature" This name was given to him in the Onmitsukido for specializing in stealth.


Likes:
  • Reading - It's very relaxing to him, and he loves to learn things. Knowledge is power, and he stands by this firmly.
  • Writing poetry - It is also relaxing to him. He loves to express his thoughts in this manner, and by talking to him one can see that he will use his poetic license often.
  • Practicing Hakuda - He likes this because he cannot do still meditation. He can't. He gets anxious when he does. So he does active meditation, and he will teach this skill to anyone else whom studies with him.
  • Speaking with his Zanpakuto...sometimes - His zanpakuto is as cryptic and coy as those two things will get. It annoys the hell out of him, but it also educates him. As stated before, he believes that knowledge is power. While his zanpakuto does not know everything, his knowledge far surpasses Raven's.
  • Fighting (as long as it is justified) - This goes back to Hakuda, but the justification part is because he will not kill without a reason (which is odd considering his Division) but he knows how to torment someone until they ask for death...at which point he will grant it.
  • Study of the human mind... - Knowledge is power. He enjoys knowing more and more about how people think, about how they act, their reasoning, their everything. He loves the mind as much as he hates it.


Dislikes:
  • Idiots - They make his life far more difficult than need be. They ask ridiculous questions with the most simple of answers...all the time. Which bothers the hell out of Raven.
  • Those with the inability to listen to reason - He cannot stand those that do not listen to both sides of the story. He hates people who will only have it be their way or no way at all. He finds such actions pretentious and arrogant.
  • People who WON'T stand up for themselves. - He believes that if you won't stand up for yourself, then he shouldn't either. Helping yourself starts with you, if you won't go the extra mile, he won't go an extra step.
  • Arrancar / Vasto Lordes / Adjucha (not standard Hollow...) - Hollow are beats (in his mind) whom have no thought process. They run on instincts alone, and thus should not be hated for that. They are merely doing what they know they should do. Anything above a Gillian though is where he has a problem. For they have thoughts, they have desires, they are beasts yes, but they can choose whether or not to be beasts or not. He cannot understand why they would choose to be beasts over intelligent beings.
  • People who act before they think - This traces back to idiots. He hates those that run with a half-baked plan into a situation. He doesn't care what situation it is, whether it's touching something scalding hot with your bare hands because you thought you could handle it, or running into a warzone without actually assessing the situation...he doesn't care.
  • 11th Division / Anybody whom holds the title "Kenpachi" - To him they are no better than beasts. And beasts deserve to be put down. But he will not do it, nor will he be the cause of it. He just won't shed a tear if it happens, nor will he care enough to attempt to reserve it (assuming such a method existed)


Habits/quirks:
  • Speaking with metaphors.
  • Purposefully ignoring questions (only done when he feels the asker can figure it out for themself)
  • Tapping his finger on his hip to the sound of a beat in his head.
  • He makes it a habit to not trust anyone...friendship status or not.


Ex-Rank: Captain

Ex-Division: 2

Specialties:

He can quickly process information given to him (be it actively given or he picked up bits here and there) to achieve an answer at a rapid rate and with minimal information. The process is quick enough that he often overlooks the fact that he has the answer to a question that he just asked. (this is possible because of how the human mind works.)

Role Play Sample:


Raven sat on a building top in the Human World. He thought back to his life and he didn't know how to feel. He had all this power, but no where to go with it. He had escaped with nothing but the outfit he wore that night. His Shinigami outfit hung somewhere in the small little hideout he'd made for himself. As he sat there the image of Chaton came to him. The inner Hollow was smiling and had his arms folded. "Lo siento, chico...I was convinced that you WANTED more power. You did feel empty didn't you? You felt like something was missing, non?" The Vizard just stared at the Hollow and said nothing. "You cannot honestly be mad that this happened...I'd dare to say that you and the Spirit are closer than you have been before because of me...which is always good, right?" Raven side and laid down. The Inner Hollow just chuckled and left the man be.

The ex-captain lay there for a moment and just thought. He touched his Zanpakuto. The cool metallic surface of it's sheath felt good on his skin. It was relatively cold out, but the feel of the case felt nice...reassuring almost. Raven wore a white tee shirt that clung to his lithe and muscled body. Over that he wore a long black trench coat that easily touched his ankles. The coat was tight on his arms and torso area as well. His pants were a blue pair of acid wash jeans. His footwear was a pair of black combat boots. Combat boots were a bit awkward to run in, but he managed just fine. The Vizard summoned his mask but didn't put it on. He just looked at the feline shape and design of it. It seemed so unreal, but at the same time he couldn't help but smile. It was wrong...this mask was a sign of evil...And yet...He got a kick out of it. The feel of the mask on his face, the power it released within him. To think that all Shinigami had powers like this dormant inside of them, to put it simply, and vice versa...it was just unbelievable for him.

The Vizard just shook his head and smiled. He was over thinking this. Who was he to question this gift? He rolled back and landed in a four-point position. He donned the mask and let out a roar that sounded something like a panther. His body felt wonderful when he had this mask donned. It was a new him, but he was still in control. He ran on all fours to the edge of the building and leaped off. He had some Hollows to kill.

I'm troubled... Your persona is missing ton load of shit and doesn't work with your history. I mean, why did he want power? Explain that in your persona. Your likes all do not match up. Nowhere did you say for example that you were a bit of a jackass to beasts or 11th Division members. Your Exodus thing. He escaped detection for 30 minutes? How was that possible? Your reiatsu would be through the charts not to mention mixed with hollow reiatsu. Also, you'd go about destroying things. And how did your character survive if he was noticed? I mean. I know when you're hollow shit you're epic and all, but against the other 12 Captains? That's impossible to survive. Now, you also seem sadistic in your history. And you mentioned in your persona something about modes? Well, how come you didn't go into your 'modes' when your parents were abusing you? Or did you develop that after you were able to punch bitches? Now, the bankai shit. You said your 'spirit' neglected you for ages when you need to be able to be in sync with your zan and able to materialize it through communication. Therefore, how could you have gone bankai when your spirit and yourself barely talked with each other? Or were you able to do that when you were a weak skinny bastard?

He just doesn't like beasts. Simple as that. You don't need to have a bad experience with dogs to just not like them.

Apparently it is possible to evade the members of SS as Shinki and company did it. Maybe not for thirty minutes, but Central 36 didn't know what was going on out there until Aizen told them. And thus, that part is more than valid.

His anger comes out in "stages" because that's how people work. We move into full blown rage. I just specified how he does it.

His Spirit didn't truly "neglect" him, but Raven felt that it was similar to neglect in the sense that it was a "tough love" kind of thing.

And he didn't want power. It's a Hollow, and it's HIS belief that he's there simply because Raven wanted more power.

Add more shit to your persona. And your shit doesn't make sense anyways. And Central 36? You mean either 46 or SS, right? Anyways. YOUR REIATSU IS THROUGH THE CHARTS! IT'S HOLLOW REIATSU! WHAT KIND OF SHIT ASS PERSON DOESN'T NOTICE THAT? Moving on. You didn't mention any shit about being able to materialize or anything with your zan so yeah. Assumed it. Your personality seems quite lacking compared to your incredible description of appearance. Fix all that.

46, 36, whatever. The fact of the matter is you had SEVEN Captains and Lts out there all of which were turning into a Hollow and one who WAS Hollowfied. Not one person from Soul Society knew about this UNTIL Aizen came back and said "Oh hey guys, by the way. Urahara was doing some crazy ish out there." This means that during the process of changing either your Shinigami reiatsu is still dominate and thus overpowers the building Hollow reiatsu to the point of not being noticed, or there isn't any reiatsu to be sensed while you fight for your life. Personally? I believe the former. And with that, and being avoided by people to begin with, being alone for 30 minutes would be perfectly fine. Especially after he won.

And I added more as you...requested.

Technically, it doesn't matter if Central 46 knows or not. I was talking about the captains? Cause it may surprise you to know, but Central 46 members aren't all powerful former captains that can sense reiatsu. THEY PROBABLY CAN'T EVEN SENSE A CAPTAIN'S REIATSU WHEN USING BANKAI. They dunno the difference basically. Now, you were in SS while those people being hollowfied were somewhere else far away and there were captains near the place, so SS captains probably thought " We need to think up a strategy then scaddadle" or something like that. But you were in SS. I seriously believe they would arrive faster than if you were in Rukongai.

But what I'm saying is Central 46 didn't know, yes? Which means nobody told them, riiight? Which means the captains didn't know. If their reiatsu was Hollow and "through the charts" I'm sure they would have requested more than just Aizen and two other non-captains to go there. Fact of the matter is, something more goes on that we aren't away of. Simple. As. That. But, request is it be within the Rukongai, then c'est la vie, non?

Another thing. Since you are in the SS, you will destroy everything. Reiatsu doesn't matter, but everyone will notice if a creep is destroying shit. And it's not like everyone is asleep with sand in their eyes.

So noted. Is there a request for change in there?


And, do keep in mind that certain sectors of the Rukongai aren't as well protected as the others. Hollows can attack in the Rukongai and get away with it. Why? Because there are over 300 districts. I don't think I have to tell you that the farther away from the Seireitei you get, the worse the conditions get, no? Not to mention that Shinigami don't have an official patrol unit or anything for the Rukongai anyway. So, blowing shit up out there isn't that big of a deal. Is it a problem? Sure. But judging by how far away he is I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't really be sensed or if he did it would be a faint reading and one hardly worth investigating as it is so far out there. Which means you now have the speed of the people to rely on for getting what's going on there, back to the Shinigami all the way at the Seireitei...

Ahem. They are spread out and don't you think your division members would notice you going wild and be suspicious? Following you? And 30 minutes? Not unless you were intentionally trying to hide, while when Ichigo and the others were trying to avoid them, but hollows don't have minds and therefore you won't avoid battle and be spotted. Boom, captains arriving hearing there is this super epic hollow that killed people. Also gotta question. I am assuming you are going to be the Vizard leader?

Again. He was being avoided for the most part, and he's a competent fighter obviously. Not to mention that such worry is looked down upon in th 2nd Division. AND the original Vizards were in a forest just outside the Rukongai. The distance between them and the Seireitei could be the same as Raven's and still, nobody would sense him. Not to mention that when he left the Seireitei he was fine. He didn't start changing until he was deep into the Rukongai. As for the need for battle, there's people around to kill and things to blow up. Even as a beast there's no need to go out of it's way for blood when it's in front of you.

I also dropped the time because I forgot that all the white your body is changing and after 7 minutes you turn hollow. That was my fault. And I suppose I'll shoot for leader.

Okay, I don't care anymore. Moving on. In your persona, you talk about stages. You do know you technically don't get stronger or anything, right? You're just a crazy dude. So you don't push your limits cause of a psychological problem. Other than that, I guess you're alright for leader.

*sighs*


You're not getting it. It's a DETAILED ANALYSIS of his anger. Where as most people just say "This happens when he get mad. And he gets mean and blah blah blah." I went into DETAIL about it, explaining specifically what happens. I never once said he gets unbelievably stronger or whatever. I mentioned the side effects of adrenaline which is quite true that it enhances one's body, but aside from that I never overplayed anything. *shrugs*
