Austero Dormir [Renegade Arrancar]

Subject: Austero Dormir [Renegade Arrancar] Thu Sep 13, 2012 7:47 pm

Name: Austero Dormir

Nickname: Aus, Nightmare, The Phantom, the Basilisk

Age: Well over 2,000 years old.

Gender: Male

Weapon(s): Zanpaku-to.

Number: N/A

Personality: Austero is well-known as a deviant. He is calm, almost serene, it seems. He talks gently to all, but with an air of authority, also. He tends to stir up trouble often, such as rebellious uprisings within set systems, and other such things like that. He is calculating, though not overly cold, like some. He’s seldom seen genuinely smiling, though he does have a curt, polite smile he will flash to disarm even the most defensive of enemies.
When one would first meet him, everything about Austero would scream out danger. But his tone, way of speaking, and general demeanor make it hard not to trust him. He has a very deceptive manner about him, and it seems as if he is constantly hiding things. He claims to be a friend of Arrancar and Hollow’s alike, and speaks of a dream to unite the two, instead of keeping them segregated into forests and castle; a rule which he considers unfair to the underdog’s. For this reason, he’s considered a revolutionary.
Austero, as a whole, is a loyal man, always repaying favors that are done to him; regardless of whether he likes the person or not. He can sympathize with everyone on nearly every issue; or at least seem to. He isn’t above deceit to obtain whatever goal he wants, though typically he thinks of it in other people’s favor.
While often, people see Austero’s reasoning for doing thing’s wrong, or the method itself, Austero somehow manages to usually change the mind of those who don’t believe in him. Such is the trait of a revolutionary leader.

Physical Appearance: Austero stands at 6’4 even, with medium-length brown hair that slightly fans out at the tips, and is evenly layered. It is parted above his right eye, and is rather thin. The back of his hair reaches about halfway down his neck, while his bangs reach down to his nose if they were combed straight. His face is oval-shaped and a little bit pointed at the chin, with a rather soft nose. His eyes are a deep hazel that look brown, unless looked at clearly. Austero has a rather daunting presence. His skin, when not looked at directly, seems to change color, as if it has a camouflage effect. If one were to try looking at him out of the peripherals of their eyes, he would seem to disappear entirely. The remains of his Hollow mask is a bone-encased left hand, complete with sharpened fingers. Another thing he retains that few people know if, is a long, bony tail, that is often looped around his waist. His Hollow hole is on his other hand, on the very palm. In many places, he is considered to be very attractive. And those that don’t find him attractive, at least find him pleasant in appearance.

Bio: There are numerous stories about the Basilisk, most of them stemming from Greek mythology, that having been his own original homeland. He was a man who had been corrupted by the taint of greed. Originally, he had been stealing for his family, but when they all died, stealing was all he knew; and so that was the life he lived. A vagabond, a wanderer, a thief to some, hero to others. He was a olden-day Robin O' Th Hood, helping out those in need. The legend of the Basilisk stemmed from one woman, an elderly maid for a Duke. She went into the bed-chambers of the duke one night, him having not come out for a while. Lightning crashed, and she swore she saw a serpentine creature with eyes that rooted her with fear, stopping her where she was. Adrian had knocked the man out, but it seemed had hit him too hard, for the man had died.

Eventually, Adrian was caught and hung for his crimes, as he had been found by playing children in an undergrowth beneath a stump. As soon as he was hung, however, his soul appeared off to the side, watching his dead body, all of the negativity feeding off of his very soul, causing the chain to corrode faster, turning him into a Hollow near instantly. All of the hate he had for the village burned in his heart, those who were now middle-class due to his help shunning him so easily, forgetting how much he had helped them. He slaughtered the entire village, leaving that last woman who had seen him alive, recognizing the eyes and dubbing him, Basilisk. He wanted people to fear him, he even enjoyed the terror he caused.

He would gain the name Hydra later on, when he fought a man, a fullbring by the legends. Though legends say this man defeated the Hydra, this was not the case. The man was horribly disfigured by the many-headed draconic creature, who proceeded to terrorize the Greek until he found his way to Japan, settling in Karakura town a short time before the Fisherman. But this wasn't until after he had transgressed to Adjucha's phase.

He soon found that humans could not sate his appetite, and began devouring other hollows instead. Unlike most Gillians, he didn't have to fight his way to become the primary conscious. However, also unlike most gillians, there was more than one conscious that ruled with the primary; five others to be exact. When Adrian, now known by his peers as the Basilisk, he had five heads with multiple personalities, all of the darkest, most sadistic variety.

To this day, the Basilisk still haunts Karakura town, only now, with the fairly recent death of the Grand Fisher, (At least, recent to him.) he's stopped poaching the humans so much, devouring pluses and other hollows only, staying in the shadows, occasionally feasting on weaker soul reaper's. After the Grand Fisher's death, Basilisk knew he had to be more careful, and so mostly stays in Hueco Mundo, going to Karakura Town long enough to try and find pluses, leaving immediately after.

Throughout exchanges with Ex-Captain of Squad 4, Izumo Ketsueki, Basilisk has managed to gain even more power, and has even made an unsteady alliance with the good deranged doctor. In return for power, Basilisk will become a pet project of Izumo's, of sorts. When Izumo fed the remains of a togabito named Mikhail to Basilisk, that was the turning point, and when the Basilisk, who had been increasingly more humanoid-appearing with each encounter, changed and became a Vasto Lorde.
After his transgression to Vasto Lorde, Izumo and Basilisk found a way, together, to turn him into an Arrancar. The mask was removed from the Hollow, and he became an Arrancar known by the Seiretei as “The Phantom”, for his illusory techniques they would later come to fight. Upon his transformation into a higher being, a sudden clarity came to Basilisk, who realized that there was more to Hollow’s and Arrancar than mere power. From there, he sought to become a revolutionary, and to free the chains that shackled Arrancar and Hollow’s, keeping the two from each other. And if he could destroy the Soul Society, who dared to stop the natural order of things, then hell. He’d have completed a side-mission. With his new form, Basilisk decided to take upon himself a new name, also; Austero Dormir, for he would be the nightmare that his enemies would come across, and never leave the same.

Zanpakutō

Name:Pesadilla Monstruo

Sealed form: Pesadilla, as he it is typically called, takes the form of a standard zanpaku-to. The cross-guard is a plain square, while the hilt is covered in an indigo wrapping, with silver shining underneath. The blade itself, is unlike any other. Looking into the blade of Pesadilla is like looking into the cosmos themselves. It almost seems like a portal to the heavens, and above. The blade is a midnight black in the shadows, with stars and planets seeming to be visible, moving across the blade. Around the planets, the black turns into a dark purple at brightest. It is a rather amazing sight to behold, and one could almost get lost in it.

Resurrección: A large dome of negativity is releasd, encasing those who are within 100 feet, and are spiritually aware. Changes related directly to Austero is that both of his arms become encased in the bone, along with his legs. His hands and feet become reptilian and clawed, once more, while his head becomes draconic with that same, eye on the forehead. Instead of extreme pain, an extra cero may be shot from there. Shoulder guards appear on his shoulders that take the shape of two draconic heads, resting on them. These heads are actually organic and a part of Austero, and can attack and shoot cero's on their own.

Call out phrase: Rise from the realms of evil dreams, Pesadilla Monstruo.

Ability: When Pesadilla is released, a dome of negativity is projected from Austero. The whole area seems warped, as if they had become trapped in space. The dome inside is darker than the area outside, though sometimes one will get lucky and see a sun to illuminate the way somewhat. It seems as if the very ground they’re standing on is hardened reishi, like a platform, and they are in space. Visibility is reduced. The field tends to distort the vision, at times. For example, things might be much closer than they seem, or even larger than they look, to one who does not have eyes trained to fighting like this, such as Austero. Because of the lack of what looks to be a physical surface to stand on, most people often experience a sense of vertigo. The reiatsu signatures of those inside disappear entirely, making it hard to discern ally from enemy, unless they were within physical sight.

Various cosmos attacks can be used in this way, as Austero draws power from the walls of the negativity dome. Meanwhile, Austero's presence appears a lot larger than it actually is, including his reiryoku. (Note: His reiryoku, nor his general power increase. It just appears so, as the dome somewhat distorts senses, and instills negative feelings within people.)

Techniques:

Warp- While organic beings cannot pass through the walls, to physical, non-organic items, the walls of the dome appear to be a portal. For this use, various things can be called in; a shooting star, a meteor, etc. But also, the walls and floors can be used as weapons when the correct ability is activated.

Comet- A single comet is called to strike at an enemy. If it hits, it deals a massive amount of damage, along with an explosion that harms everyone within twenty-five feet of the crash-site, including allies and Austero himself.

Meteor Shower- Meteors fly through the area. It deals a significantly lower amount of damage than Comet, but there is a higher likelihood of being hit. (Though the attack usually results in broken bones, at least.) The meteor's are all roughly about the size of a person's limb, and no larger. This attack can be used once every three turns.

Warp Strike- Austero slashes the air in his opponent's direction, as Ichigo would with a Getsuga Tensho. Pointed tendrils come from the sides of the dome and attack the designated enemy for roughly ten seconds, as they attempt to impale or cut the enemy. Up to four tendrils may attack at once. The tendril is made of a shadow-y material capable of being cut, but regenerating itself immediately, until the few seconds that the attack lasts are up. Can be used once every other turn.

The Usurper- Austero points his zanpaku-to at an opponent's stomach, and the blade begins to glow an indigo color. When it is released, a short burst of energy flies from the blade. For the attack to be effective, it MUST hit the opponent. It deals large-scale damage when hit, harming the internal organs more than the external. The more power the enemy has, the more damage done. Even more damage is done, if the user has more spiritual power than Austero. This attack can only be used once every five turns, as it requires a lot of spiritual energy to perform.

Protection of the Cosmos- Austero's only true defensive ability. This calls the walls and floor of the dome to come to Austero's aid for one attack being sent at him. They form a single pole in front of him, which is about a foot thick. Any ranged attacks that are shot at him are instead sucked into this pole, where they emerge from the wall or floor wherever Austero chooses. However, if it comes from the floor, the spot it is about to emerge from seems to open up into the cosmos, giving the target forewarning to move or evade. Whether they get hit depends on their reflexes, and the strength of the attack. Can only be used once every three posts.

The Pac-Man Effect- Austero, and in fact, anybody within the dome, can walk through one wall, and come out at the exact same spot on the opposite wall. This does not work for the ceiling and floors.

Dying Star Explosion- Austero uses his own reiatsu to call a star to the area. It's often a small star, but the damage is devastating. At any point in time, Austero can put the tiniest bit of his own pressure onto the star, and have it explode. The explosion is truly stellar, and leaves burns on everyone within the dome that is exposed. Though the closer one is, the more damage they'll take. The burns can range from minor burns, as if you were to touch a hot lighter, to skin-melting burns. This ability can only be used once in an encounter.

I'm curious, how would I go about attempting to get to Vasto Lorde rank?

Subject: Re: Austero Dormir [Renegade Arrancar] Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:14 pm

Rank up into ADV and I could make some arrangements for that.
