Elfman Strauss

Name: Elfman Strauss

Nickname: Gallery of Hollows, Beast Arm Elfman.

Age: 20.

Gender: Male.

Weapon(s): Fists.

Personality: Some time ago, Elfman was notably shy and weak, with his only real talent being for house keeping. This caring nature of his, which was under-appreciated by many at the time, became quite useful for his younger sister Lisanna and her friend Natsu though, as he looked after a parakeet's egg before it hatched. Nowadays, he is strong willed, and a proud powerhouse. He always uses the word "man" as a self proclaimed image of himself, and as perhaps an odd guide for others to follow, referring to ideals of how he sees a person should behave. 'Not being a man', or at the very least failing to show pride in anything is unacceptable to the point of him actually scowling at those who let him down. It goes to show Elfman's great determination, but also a caring side.

Elfman is very loving and protective of his sisters Mirajane and Lisanna, going to great lengths to prevent them from harm -to the point of threatening dangers like Beastman. Despite his huge ego, he is always very kind.

Physical Appearance: Elfman is a large, muscular man with tan skin, who towers over most other humans. His long white hair is kept styled upwards in long, wavy spikes, his dark eyes possess no visible eyebrows, and his rectangular, elongated face has a stitched scar running down its right side, crossing his right eye. Most of Elfman’s attires have a Japanese look to them. His usual outfit resembles that worn by high-school hooligans: it consists of a dark blue jacket with purplish blue inners, held closed on the front by a line of large buttons, with similar buttons on the sleeves’ back and the zip located on the high collar left open. The back of his jacket is adorned by large, light kanjis, which read “The greatest" (一番), and the jacket itself seems to be worn over a light red shirt, sometimes seemingly replaced by an A-shirt covered in many vertical lines. Elfman’s outfit is completed by loose pants matching his jacket, held up by a simple belt, and traditional Japanese geta sandals, held in place by bands colored the same as his jacket’s inners.

Bio: Elfman Strauss was born as the only male son under the Strauss name in generations, and as a younger brother to Mirajane and later older to Lisanna. He used to show the very opposite of what he is today in overall attitude, incredibly sensitive and shy, innocent and caring to no end. After his mother died as a result of a weak body and his father soon followed through despair, his two sisters were the only relatives he had left, and became overconscious of them, always trying to keep them out of harm if he only could. He learned to cook so the burden wouldn't fall on them and took care of many chores in their then lonely house. Though, he was further depressed at the fact that despite being born to a line of spiritually aware humans, Elfman was the least talented, unable to even use a Fullbring at the age of 9. He tried his best to cover for his weakness somehow, but never did his Fullbring manifest, not even once; not until his sisters were attacked while sleeping by a large Hollow.

The Hollow was a powerful one, yet newly devoured, taking the shape of a black bull monster. Deciding that even if he is the black sheep in the family, he's still the man of the house and has to protect his sisters, Elfman charged at the Hollow alone with nothing but his spiritual pressure and by some miracle, won the battle, slaying the bull using a kitchen knife and his body's power. Before fainting out of the heavy injuries on his body, Elfman's Fullbring manifested for the first time, storing the Hollow's body in his arm. It took him a while to recover but ever since, Elfman had decided to become the man of his family.

Through the years his arsenal of monsters to display grew, defeating other kinds of Hollows and storing them in his body, though unlike his sisters his Fullbring was still incomplete, obviously because his power never neared theirs. And one day in travel, they were attacked by a huge Adjuchas Hollow seeking their high Spiritual power. The Adjuchas' classification in the Seireitei was Beastman, and it savaged an entire city in its test of power. Elfman was the first to encounter it, but without Mirajane's help he would have died. In dire attempt to win, used his Fullbring's storing power on Beastman while the Hollow still had some life in him. He lost control in the form of the giant Adjuchas and went on a rampage, severely damaging his older sister. When the Shinigami arrived to take down the monster, it was too late and Lisanna, the younger sister, already fell victim to the mindless beast.

Elfman was deeply scarred - both emotionally and physically - over what he had done, losing the will to use his Fullbring again out of fear that something like this would happen again, but Mirajane cheered him up. He vowed to never see her cry again, and if he'd lose her he's not worthy of being a real man. Since then, Elfman trained to master further his Fullbring, gaining the forms of other Hollows and growing stronger, to the man he is today.


Fullbring


Name: Monster Deck

Item: Entire body

Appearance: Elfman's entire body, save for his hair color and scar, is his Fullbring item. See above for further information.

Ability: Monster Deck is incredibly versatile in that, his older sister calls it the 'Gallery of Hollows': every single Hollow Elfman had killed and chose is stored in his body through the activation of this Fullbring, used for later display upon combat. Elfman is also capable of choosing which part of himself he uses to display said Hollow, though because of his early lack of mastery it would usually take the form of a foreign arm, simply because it's much easier to maintain, and he feels more comfortable this way. Elfman cannot store the powers of living beings, nor other types of souls: Hollows only, though this includes Arrancars for them originally being of that race. His stored powers are also not fixed in power, but grow stronger as he does. It should also be noted Elfman is only capable of manifesting one form at a time, and is unable to fuse his powers.

Techniques:

• Baketokage - Elfman transforms his arm into that of a reptilan beast's arm, covered in scales and sporting sharp claws. The arm packs endurance far beyond human skin and bone, and the claws can easily rip through steel.
  
  
• Maguma - Elfman transforms his arm into that of a furry brown beast's arm with sharp claws. It's very big and possesses great throwing and pulling power.
  
  
• Kokugyuu - Elfman transforms his arm into that of a large black beast's arm, which is dark in color and sports prominent muscles. It increases Elfman's punching power and his strength, making him more formidable in melee, which he already excels at.
  
  
• Ishigyuu - Elfman turns his arm into that of a beast's arm composed of stone, increasing his attack and defense power. The plates covering his arm in such form are reminiscent of those he summons to initiate his transformations.
  
  
• Tetsugyuu - Elfman transforms his arm into that of a large beast's arm composed of metal, which is somehow similar to a gauntlet, sporting plates and different lines of bolts. Much like his other transformations, it increases his punching power, making his punches stronger due to its large mass and the heavy material which it is composed of.
  
  
• Shukkoku no Tsurugi - Elfman transforms his arm into a large one composed of metal plates and sharp claws, identical to Rust Trepa's limbs. This grants Elfman great cutting power, as well as an extendable arm, used as an element of surprise. This is mostly used to fend off weapon-holding opponents.
  
  
• Zenshin: Bisutoman - Beast Man allows Elfman to completely take over the appearance and abilities of a powerful, beastly Adjuchas known in Seireitei as Beastman, described by Mirajane as “the king of monsters”. In such state, Elfman’s size increases exponentially, with his arms growing longer, larger and sprouting sharp claws, and he becomes covered in thick fur, with his abdomen and pectorals prominent in the middle. His hair takes on a mane-like appearance, his ears and canine teeth become pointed, and he grows a pair of striped horns pointing upwards, starting from a plate on his forehead. Elfman’s legs, much smaller in comparison to his large arms and torso, grew dark hooves, and he also gained a pair of protrusions sprouting from his shoulders, similar in appearance to his horns. The only piece of Elfman’s attire which remains on are his pants, which get shorter as a result of his transformation, and sprout extremely prominent and spiky upper edges.
  
  Despite his larger size, Elfman’s speed is increased drastically in such state. He can also rapidly move around by jumping, and climb on vertical surfaces through the use of his claws with great agility and speed. This form further boosts Elfman's already great physical might, so much that he was capable of stopping much larger opponents using his strength alone. In this state, Elfman’s sense of smell is greatly increased, being comparable to a beasts, allowing him to manage completely fine even without sight. This form truly is worthy of the nickname, The Beast.
  
  • Kyojuu - Amongst all Hollows devoured, Beastman was the only one that came with the natural Hollow ability. Elfman exhales as crimson red particles begin to form by his mouth, gathering into an unstable ball of Reiatsu. Upon Elfman's roar, the ball becomes a crimson red beam that charges forward at great speed, exploding on impact. This attack was said to be nearly identical to the Hollow's Cero, though the Reiatsu radiated is that of a human's.
  
  
  
• Zenshin: Jii Kurou - Elfman transforms his entire body into that of the Hollow known in Seireitei as G-Claw. In such form, he still stands on his rear legs, which, however, gain a structure similar to those of a feline, with his toes sprouting sharp, dark claws, not unlike those appearing on his fingers. He retains a toned and muscular physique, which, aside from the front part of Elfman's torso and the back parts of his legs, is largely covered in a series of dark spots, which are reminiscent of a leopard's. He also gains a long, messy and dark mane similar to a lion's topping his head, which sprouts a large, dark feline nose and large fauces lined up with sharp teeth. Thick, light fur grows on his lower face. Strangely enough, his ears remain human in placement and appearance, though they become elongated and extremely pointy. A mildly long, spotted feline tail ending in a dark tuft sprouts from his lower back. Any marks on his body aside for injuries are no longer visible. Elfman's outfit also changes, with whatever type of shirt he might be wearing disappearing to leave his chest bare, and with his pants being replaced by a dark, baggy pair reaching down below his knees, possessing light edges and light belts crossing on his thighs. His feline feet are bare.
  
  G-Claw was a speed specialist Hollow and as such, Elfman had inherited its great speed as well when using its form. It is much more agile and faster than Beastman, and as such more accurate as well, but lacks the added strength.
  
  • Raiten Jii-Dan - G-Claw's special ability was not what Elfman had inherited from storing its body, but rather a suiting variation of the signature Hollow technique. Charging his claws with Reiatsu, they take the appearance of red-crimson bolting claws. When Elfman swings his claws, they send out the condensed Reiatsu in the form of an extremely quick, crimson blast. It is by a few times faster than his attack in Beastman's form, but it carries the same properties as a Cero as well - despite significantly lacking the sheer destructive power of the former.
  
  
  
• Zenshin: Burizaado Rizaado - Elfman transforms his figure to that of the Hollow known in Seireitei as Blizzard Lizard. His muscular figure is almost completely covered in scales, some of which, lined up, are shown to be particularly large, protruding and sharp. The only parts seemingly left bare are the front section of his torso and the palm of his hands. His fingers grow sharp, dark claws, similar to the ones sprouting from his toes, which become much more massive and stocky, also changing in placement, and thus making Elfman's feet similar to a reptile's rear legs. His hair is replaced by a long, messy and spiky light mane topping the top part of his head and extending to his middle back; Elfman's head itself gains reptilian features, becoming more stubby, losing a visible nose and gaining a large, protruding plate in correspondence to his forehead, topping his eyes.
  
  The scales covering Elfman's body in such state are extremely resistant, greatly boosting his defense, and their jagged outlines make attacking him unarmed dangerous: even if the opponent was to be strong enough to break the scales, their limbs would be damaged from doing so, and the effort required to break the scales itself is incredible. It appears to be even more durable than Zanpakuto.
  
  • Fubuki Houka - Elfman's scales can be fired like numerous missiles. By taking a defensive stance of both arms crossing in-front of his chest, Elfman can fire off all sharp scales this form boasts, sending them off like countless bullets at great speed all over. The destination of each cannot be determined, but it leaves absolutely no blind spots. After usage though, Elfman cannot enter Blizzard Lizard's form again until all scales have regrew, forcing him to withdraw this form.

Stats added.

Bukijuu also includes dexterity and accuracy. Are you sure you want to have that at 1? You would barely be able to aim your punches, or hit anything.

... Why does weapon skill include accuracy? ><"

Editted

Because accuracy is included in skill, if you're not skillful you're not accurate.
