Hollows Fear the Name ~ A Bleach RP ~ Open!

"Ok... where to begin..." Aoi murmured. "When you were lifted off the ground today, the thing that did that is called a hollow. They're corrupted spirits of deceased humans, and their only goal is to devour human souls. They're hideous things, and they all have a white mask and a hole in their chest where their heart used to be. They can only be seen by people who have the ability to see spirits, or have spiritual power. I come from a race of people who can do that called the Quincy, and we kill hollows with bows like the one you saw me using," she said, pausing to take a brief break. She didn't want to overwhelm Corynn with information all at once.

I'm gonna go, talk to you later!]]

  SN: gamergirl09
Character Name: Ichiro Toshida
Age: Looks about 19 but is over 30 by now
Gender: Male
Race: Soul Reaper
Rank (Captain, 3rd Seat, etc): Captain of the 13th squad
Looks: He is about 5'11 & 3/4 (or nearly 6' if you want to round it). He was 19 when he died. His hair is a natural blonde with dark auburn red highlights and he keeps it about to his shoulder in lenth so that it is long enough to tie it back with the hair tie his crush use to use. He wears the normal soul reaper clothing when he absolutely has to, otherwise, he'll wear clothing similar to what he use to wear in the human world. Which
Personality: In regards to his job, he has adopted a strict, extremely devoted, and follow the rules precisely type of persona. He does not take kindly to individuals who cause problems or create more work for him, particularly if it forces him to apologize for their actions. However, he is a very decorous, dignified man. Though when he is around just his squad or is in the human world he acts as his old self which is carefree, daring, sometimes reckless, but he is passionate about protecting anyone that need's it. He also takes joy in frightening others, as he intentionally acts in a disconcerting manner to provoke a reaction. His temper though is something you don't want to awaken because it sends him overboard and he pretty much becomes someone else. Furthermore, when his temper is in a full blowed swing he is a ruthless, bloodthirsty individual that has no qualms with inflicting injuries on others or even killing someone, so he will if he wants to. This makes him a particularly cold-hearted man.
Combat Abilities (zanpakuto, resurrection, etc): When his zanpakuto is just in it's base state it is about two and a half feet from tip to base and is pure white with no handle or guard. When he says 'Ichira rise in the morning's glory' it grows in length to nearly six feet long and gets a red ting in the blade. It caused heat to rise quickly and the blade burns to touch. when he releases his Bankai he says 'Ichira bring the solar flare' and it has two different states one being an attack state where it looks the same as the base form but has a hot fire around the blade and the other being a defence state where it is a large fire dragon that he controls with the sword (though this form is still unstable).
History (optional): When he was 15 he was trying to protect a girl he liked from a hollow attack but failed. Though moment's before she died she transferred her soul reaper powers to him and he became a substitute soul reaper. Later that year he learned that his family was related to the Quincy's but the last few generations had not shown any spiritual abilities til he was born with the gift of seeing ghost. After that, he worked hard to hide his soul reaper powers from his family but spent a lot of time at 'school' practicing with his sword and learning all he could from the other soul reapers that came to the town. By the time he was 18 he had at least learn all of the Kido though he wasn't good at most. At 19 he was at home trying to protect his parents when a large group of hollows attacked and it seemed calculated as it happened when no other soul reapers were in town and they surrounded the house. He was forced to go into his soul reaper form in front of his parents at which point the dad got made and brutally attacked his body while he was fighting the hollows. It was when he first used the defensive form of his Bankai which is why the house caught fire. He later found out that his parent lived when he was in the hospital that his sister was born in. So he knows her birth name but doesn't know what happened to her after that. A few years after his sister was born he got appointed to the lieutenant position and about three years back he because captain.

(I'm sorry! I totally forgot to respond to this!!)

Nikita blinked as she heard Mitsuo's voice and suddenly he was there in front of her. She managed a small smile and nodded quietly, "some water would be great." She managed, her voice hoarse and weak from not being used for so long. Her eyes adjusted a bit and then she slowly sat herself up a bit, cringing a little from a sharp pang from her newly healed ribs. Taking in a short breath she managed to get herself up a bit, leaning back against the arm of the couch. Then she looked down at herself and smiled lightly at the shinigami uniform draped over her. That was kind of him to hide her own uniform. Nikita looked back to Mistuo then and furrowed her brow. "Have you not left here?" She inquired as she saw his messy hair and dirty features.


Kousei nodded in agreement before he blew on his own tea to cool it down. "Hopefully it was an isolated incident." He murmured as his eyes moved out towards the sheeted windows. Taking a sip of his warm tea, he let out a soft sigh and smiled. "You always make the best tea you know." He told his captain with a light laugh.

Aoi blinked in surprise. She'd never heard anyone call a hollow 'neat' before, or anything even close to that word. When she got over that thought she nodded. "Yeah, a lot of them at least," she said. "As for the whole blurry thing I'm not sure, but I guess to someone who can't see spirits it might look that way."

Added Ichiro!]]]

No worries!]]

"Water! Right away!" Mitsuo said, jumping to his feet. He went for a tall pitcher on his desk and grabbed the closest cup he could find and filled it nearly to the brim. He carefully brought it back to Nikita and handed it over to her before sitting down again. "Does it still hurt a lot?" he asked, noticing the pain flicker over her face. When she asked about him not leaving he gave her a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his head. "Not really... I fell asleep right after changing my uniform, so that's my excuse," he said with a light chuckle. He then pointed over to the wall. "I opened a window, though, that sorta counts," he argued. "There's a nice breeze coming through this fine morning."

"Yes, I certainly hope so," Mizuki murmured. She took a sip of tea and gave the incident another thought. She didn't want to be the pessimist here, but the arrancar hadn't exactly been completely defeated when they left. All three were still in fighting condition, and their wounds would only heal in Hueco Mundo. She smiled lightly when Kousei complimented the tea but shook her head. "I am honored you would say that, but I believe Captain Kuchiki's tea skills are far superior to mine," she said with another little laugh.

Yeah... I added Byakuya at like 3 this morning... I shouldn't be allowed to make rp decisions after midnight xD]]

(Okey!)

Nikita smiled lightly and drank nearly all of the glasses once it was handed to her. As he questioned her but responded to her own inquiry she cracked another small smile and laughed a little. Though regretted the decision soon afterwards. A hand went to her side and she flinched. After a moment the pain was gone and she smiled weakly to Mitsuo and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt as much as it did before." she explained simply, not a full answer but still an answer. Then she turned her attention back onto him, "You're a mess you know." she told him lightly, still managing to smile as she took another sip of her water, her voice slowly coming back to her now. "You should really go and take care of yourself, I'll be fine on my own for a little while." she assured him as she sat herself up a bit more now and took in a deep breath, testing how far her ribs would let her move. 


Kousei laughed lightly and nodded in agreement, "I have heard plenty about his skills, though I have yet to be invited to an event where he might be the one making the tea." he told her with another smile and a light sigh before taking another sip of his tea. After a few moment's silence he arched his brow once more, signalling another question, "Those arrancar, have you seen them before?" he himself only knew the female, he'd fought her before though it was a very long time ago. 

((That moment when you realize the new character is really strict, and also happens to be the captain of your one super slacker character... Not to mention that the last time I posted about Shigeo, he was supposed to be in the human world days ago but still hasn't left the Seireitei... Oops. ))

lol xD]]
Fira, I'll let you know when I finish the ONe Piece rp!]]
Also sorry for the poof guys >_<]]

"It has to do with my spiritual power. I concentrate the reishi around me, spirit particle, and form them into a bow. The arrows are made of the same stuff," Aoi said. It felt weird talking about this to someone who couldn't see spirits, usually they didn't believe any of it. She reached for her necklace and held the pendant out in front of her. Soon there was a bright blue glow and her silver bow appeared. "See?"

~~~

𝓼𝓲𝓵𝓿:

"Wait, really?" Mitsuo asked. He ran a hand through his hair and patted at it. It did feel a bit messy. He looked at Nikita and hesitated. "Well, if you're sure... then I guess I'll be right back," he said before standing. He stretched before heading out the door and off to his private quarters conveniently right behind his office. He had a small mirror in there and cracked up when he saw what he looked like, though as he continued to look his face fell. He silently fixed his hair back to sort of what it normally looked like before moving across the room to wash his face. He splashed the cold water over his face and wiped it off as usual, and then after letting out a brief sigh opened a drawer to grab a spare pair of glasses. After fixing a smile on his face once more he returned to his office. "Done! Did ya miss me?" he joked as he stepped through the door.

"Next time I visit I shall have to ask if you can come along," Mizuki said with a chuckle. She slowly sipped her tea as she listened to Kousei's question, and frowned a bit as she thought about it. She recalled the faces of the three arrancar she had seen. "I may have seen the one with the blue hair before, the other two I have no memory of. I was not the one fighting him, but the one with orange hair seemed very new and eager to show his strength out there."

Aoi laughed. 'Really? Crazy things like that happen in America that often?" she asked. She had her bow disappear and then rummaged through her school bag. "Well anyway, the bow isn't the only thing we Quincies use as a weapon. We also have these, which again use reishi but this time it makes a blade sort of like a chainsaw," she explained, holding out the thin silver hilt. Blue started to build up at the top point of it, and it slowly grew to form a rectangular blade.

~~~

Byakuya was seated at his desk in his office, the door wide open to his serene garden just outside. He was working on a stack of paperwork, a half full cup of tea placed at the right-hand corner of the desk. He was mid brush stroke when he felt the presence of someone approaching his office, but kept writing. "Captain Toshida, you can change clothes as much as you like, but that does not change your spiritual pressure," he said without even looking up from the page. It was only when his brush ran out of ink that he did look up. "Was there something you needed?"

Aoi started fiddling around a bit with the glowing blue blade, twirling the hilt between her fingers. "Huh, I remember a show like that aired here a few years back. Not sure if it's still going on or not. The host would travel to supposedly haunted places and 'exorcise' the spirits there. Name was Don Kanonji or something and he was crazy popular, I never really understood why."

~~~

Byakuya's straight face didn't show any change as Ichiro spoke, and he made a mental note to lecture his squad members later. "Well, I am a captain, doing work is my job," he stated. He sat still for a moment and then gently laid aside his brush with a long sigh. "Alright, if you so insist I suppose I will play along with it today. Now what was it you had in mind?" he asked, setting aside the paper he had just finished.

"Yeah, I was never really a fan of it," Aoi said. "But I guess people like the mystery of it, everyone in class was mimicking his signature laugh and pose and whatnot." She had the reishi blade disappear before putting the hilt back in her bag. She always kept them with her just in case, and so far it came in handy twice in the last week. "He came to Karakura in one of the earlier episodes. I was just a little kid then though and don't really remember it."

~~~

"I'd rather not," Byakuya said almost immediately, still staying seated at his desk. "I believe I have told you this before, TOshida, your definition of fun is quite different from mine." He brushed a few stray hair behind his ear and crossed his arms. He gave Ichiro an almost expectant look, clearly waiting for the captain to suggest something else.

Oh my xD]]

Aoi's eyes flicked back to the newspaper sitting on the table. She leaned in closer and studied it a bit. "It might be possible," she said, looking back to Corynn. "We could try asking my mom, she's lived in this town all her life. She could have seen this building before."

~~~

Byakuya raised an eyebrow and pushed his chair back just a bit. "I already have tea brewing on the table over there, do help yourself," he said, pointing a long finger to the tea kettle. He then noticed no other cups were set out and stood to fetch one. He reached into a high up cupboard and retrieved one of his spare tea cups. After pouring the tea he handed the cup to Ichiro.

xD]]
Hm, probably not unless Ichiro specifically told him]]

"It might be possible," Aoi said with a shrug. She stood and quickly slapped a couple bandages on the worst of her scrapes. "Alright, let's go," she said, heading out of the room. At the last moment she reached back and grabbed the newspaper before heading out the door and back down the stairs.

~~~

At Ichiro's comment about his tea, Byakuya actually cracked a small yet clearly smug smile. He made his way back to the desk and took one last sip of his own cup of tea, setting it down at the end of the younger captain's question. "I'm afraid not," came the blunt reply.

I'm gonna head off, talk to you later! ^^]]

Aoi opened the door to the main living room and went over to her mother, who was sitting at a table reading a book. "Hey mom, we have a quick question for you," she said.
Aoi's mother looked up and smiled at the two girls. "Yes, what is it?"
"We were wondering if you knew this building, and if it's anywhere near here," Aoi explained, placing the newspaper on the table.
Aoi's mother studied the old picture intently and took turns holding it close and far from her face. She tapped her chin lightly with her finger and frowned as she racked her memories. "It does look familiar," she said. "Yes, very familiar. In fact, I think it may be a few blocks down the street. I haven't been down that way in quite some time, the area may have been renovated. All the buildings on that street were getting quite old, if I remember correctly."

~~~

Byakuya let out a "hmph" at Ichiro's determination. "I suppose I will. You most likely won't stop bugging me until I do, correct?" he asked, setting his now empty tea cup down.

Nikita smiled lightly as he came back and actually managed a soft laugh, "Of course I missed you." She replied softly as she sipped her water and seemed quietly pleased at his cleaned up appearance. Her reply seemed entirely sincere and her gaze moved from him down to the glass in her hands. Then she blinked and looked to him, "How long was I out for?" She asked quietly as she looked to Mitsuo now and tugged the robe a bit closer around her, shivering just a little bit. Then another thought occurred to her, "Do I look as out of sorts as you?" She inquired again seeming more concerned about that rather than her time unconscious.

Kousei chuckled lightly to her and nodded, "I'd appreciate that." He chimed lightly as he then listened to what she had to say. Kousei sighed and nodded, brushing a hand over his face and yawning widely. He chuckled softly, "My apologies." He muttered in regards towards his yawn.
