Name: Ai
Nickname: Library
Age: 800 (appears 16)
Gender: Female
Weapon(s): Aside from her zan, nothing.
Number: 7
Personality: ”Everyone says I am special, aren’t they nice!”
Shattered is a good way of describing Ai. She acts like a foolish little child most of the time, being unable to think too hard on things without being bored by her own thoughts. Constantly trying to find something that is stimulating to her she frequently will rob the world of the living in looking for the various entertainment devices and products they have created. This obsession is the main driving device to most of her seemingly normal actions, always finding a way to make it more exciting and less boring, especially if it is anything new that can be learned.
Yes her love of learning is another thing that she focuses on, and the reason why she is so messed up in the first place. Her obsession to gain all forms of knowledge has left her mind broken from all that she has learned. In most ways it is a defense against the sadness and the reality of what she knows, a slave to her own unknown desire yet immune to its downsides. Many might view this as pitiable as she will not get enjoy the knowledge and grow with it, but it is perhaps the best fate she could have hoped for as she no longer worries about the emotional and only focuses on the knowledge itself to write into books and to keep collecting hopefully for all of time.
When dealing with others Ai tries to be friendly in a unique way. Normally asking what they are up too and pestering them like a little kid she will mostly do random stuff until their attention is fully focused upon her. In reality though it’s anything goes so long as it is fun and entertaining for her and hopefully the other party as well; and if she can learn about something new even better.
In terms of combat Ai is more of a wild card than anything. Trying to read her attack patterns is next to impossible since she just does whatever comes to her mind at the time, with very little thought behind it. Ironically making her somewhat deadly even if she just views it all as a fun little game that she is having with a potential friend. Still there can be logic behind her attacks should her mind snap into a sane state for a short amount of time, possibly throwing off opponents even more so then she can mock them and tell them they suck at the game they are playing. This makes her tricky but that was her personality anyway so no one should be surprised by it in the least if they know her at all.
Physical Appearance:”If it isn’t red it’s dead!
Ai is someone who appears to be very different from the average hollow. She tends to dress to cover her hollow hole and more in a weird kind of fashion. Tending to favor the color red above others for the sheer awesome factor as red really is the best color ever. This tends to make her outfits stands out quite a bit from others just as a red car stands out from a white when a cop is looking. Tending to find weird dresses and other assortments of clothing within the world of the living she will wear to next anything so long as it has her favorite color upon it somewhere. Meaning she hates that crappy standard arrancar outfit of whatever that everyone seems so fond of wearing all the time, as it isn’t really that cool looking. Aside from her obvious bias in fashion color there is one thing to be said about her odd habits, she wears allot of tasteful “bling”, normally finding crystals and rubies to be on the top of her list in what would apply to fashion.
Physically Ai is somewhat mature for her age, at least appearance wise. She has more of a grown body than anything and is a mighty five foot seven which contrasts her personality along with her other traits. While her measurements could be listed and everyone could try and ogle and compare (cookie) they shall not and instead the hollow side shall be explored more. Her hollow hole is in the middle of her stomach area which always amuses her in how she can still eat sweets and it doesn’t just pop out of there. Her mask is actually somewhat hidden, within her hairline resides her mask hidden underneath the red hair that she is so proud of. Hinting it with a white tint whenever it is looked upon with an observant eye, and also making her face appears less hollowish than most even if it wasn’t in her control to make it that way. Her eyes are a crimson in color along with her red hair and outfit makes her a lady in red, did I mention she likes red? She is right handed like most, and is Caucasian in decent though most hollows don’t care about such things.

Bio: ”A bunch of stuff happened, and it was all like “blam” and “biff” and “pow!” Then I felt cold for a long time, but now Ai is better and ready to learn!”
Ai was born within a family of scribes. It was quite boring around the time when she was alive, well for her gender. She didn’t have much to do but hope to be married to a lord or something despite her actual love of her family’s business. She loved to write down history and keep it for future generations; it was amazing and probably the most important job in the entire world. Without what her family did and others like them no one would ever learn from the past mistakes and no progress would be made. Sadly many wished for the information to be on their side rather than the actual truth and so different battles were fought between families and lords for control of the history. Her family mostly avoided during the conflicts that happened within the country lost to time and sealed away within her subconscious. As wars started up between countries Ai didn’t find much solace within hiding behind history books and the like. She didn’t find much solace in anything really within the world as conflict only created horrible history within the world and bitter blood feuds.
Sadly her premonition of the different feuds coming to her door step happened, her family having refused to move from the area they were attacked and killed as part of the routine slaughter of the village they lived within. Despite their supposedly high station they were ignored in terms of defenses for the sake of saving the country they lived within first and its ruler. Being killed within the family home which was burned to the ground she never got to complete her work or any desire she had experienced due to her gender and her countries ways. As such while her family passed on she stayed behind wishing to be able to record all history, and know everything no matter the cost. Constantly observing the outside world from her little home shunned and left to “die” eventually the chain that held her to the world vanished leaving only a hole and darkness in its wake. She was reborn as a monster within the different worlds that were all tangled together.
Most of her hollow life is boring all of it just being nothing more than her attacking others and somehow evading the shinigami. Eventually getting into one of the tangles that form a menos her personality and drive survived above the others, and eating more and more hollows she evolved to the next level. Feeling that Adjuchas would be the highest she would ever be able to obtain, and her mind slipping more and more as she learned information as per her ‘curse’ Ai removed her mask. While she would probably never obtain the power of a vasto lorde now she felt that as least she wouldn’t regress and lose her purpose forever. The remaining years up till the present are more of a sorrowful tale of decay than anything else. As she kept on learning about the mortal world and the three of the spiritual realms Ai found that there was more death and sadness than anything present. Everyone kept repeating the same mistakes and doing the same actions. Eating away at her year by year her mind started to regress she learned more, slowing draining her of sanity until she was nothing more than a child mentally. In some ways this could be viewed as a blessing to her as it saved her the sorrow of felling the downfall of nations, and rising of tyrants, but it also took away the one goal she had which was too record all that the world had to offer and share it. Subconsciously she still follows this goal somewhat recording what she learns within her special books, but overall it is a wasted effort on her part unless she can regain sanity once lost. Only time will tell if she can regain what was lost or if she will suffer on in ignorant child’s play.
Thankfully for Ai, her growth wouldn’t be halted so easily, apparently over the years that she had been living as a hollow she had been noticed by the “rulers” of their so called race. Being approached by a figure that she could not name (as to avoid interfering with others RPC’s) she was asked to join them. While she had lost most of her sanity at this point and was nothing more than a child playing with whatever gadget she had found the offer was enticing to her. Normally she wouldn’t care enough but now she felt a pull like it could help her out in the long run for whatever reason. Going along with the instinct she had with her for whatever reason she let them put her wherever they saw fit and joined their ranks. Still she does the same as she always did and the previous questions still apply to her, and hopefully the answers won’t be too long gone.
Zanpakutō”It is me and I am me, meaning there are two me’s! Isn’t that just fascinating? I think so.”
Cero: Is red in color and fired from her chest. Other than this it is just a cero, fired from the titties.
Name: Babel
Sealed form: Within its sealed form Babel appears as a long spear easily bigger than Ai herself. The spear itself is linked together by chains creating breaks within the “zan” itself every single break forged from silver chains that have the inscriptions of various “holy books” upon them. Every single handle of the spear has great quotes from leaders of the mortal world within them, and the spear head itself is inscribed with the supposedly most important messages and principals known to all walks of life. The spears tip is grey in color while the remainder of the blade is red descending down into the shaft which is golden. In the middle of the blade is a red crystal which is smoothed over. This “Zanpakutō” doesn’t have a sheath like many others instead appearing to be like a constant release Zanpakutō similar to soul reapers, even though it is not the case.

Resurrección: Appearance wise Ai shall change somewhat drastically. Her mask normally hidden underneath her hair giving it the weird red/white shine will overtake it instead causing a flexible mask/hair hybrid upon her head. Normally this would be all white but red letters of every different type of written language shall appear to be floating from her head out like cinders from a fire. This is what gives her hair the reddish quality during res and represents her fallen status as a hollow and having red in her ledger. In addition to the ears she shall grow a tail but otherwise not much else changes. Like the hair the tail is also part of her mask with letters coming from it as well. She likes to believe that this form is quite fun looking even if it marks her as a fallen being and a supposed “sinner” to most.

Call out phrase: ”Record the present, Babel.” Ability: Babel’s ability is the power to Record any information no matter improbable it may seem. She can record whole techniques, people’s histories, and even their emotions making her the supposed “moving library” of the worlds. She can passively record anything that she feels with her senses both physical and metaphysical, remembering it for all of time. She cannot use this to read people’s minds/use their techniques or movement, making the power more of pure knowledge ability than perfect replication ability.
Techniques:”I know so much and yet I don’t know everything, it’s like the games I love to play!”
- Spoiler:
Cloth recording : Taking a brief moment to focus on finding the spirit ribbons that tell what kind of being is what, she will attempt to locate the person in question that she wishes to find. They must be within the same plane of existence as her (aka either SS, Hueco mundo, living, or hell) and within the same topic as her. This allows Ai to record their spiritual pressure so that she can identify that signature later with ease.
Emotional recording : Using her spiritual pressure she can attempt to record the emotions of those around her, knowing of their emotional state immediately. This technique is mainly used during negotiations or if she wishes to play a game with someone and not offend them too greatly, or cheer them up and allowing her to know what to say/do to do just that.
Past Recording : Drawing upon the tiny souls that reside within all the things Ai will attempt to find out the history of a place. This can be done passively upon the move, and costs very little in terms of energy. It can give a reading of nearly anything that has happened within that area throughout history. The longer back she goes the longer it takes for this power to work.
Physical recording : Creating different texts out of the various histories she has recorded Ai can either choose to share this information or lock it away via creating books. While she will still retain the information in her head the books has the possibility to give others the same insight she had. Should the books be locked only her death will unlock them, or her willingly unlocking the information within the tombs? She can also destroy the books if she wishes too at anytime causing them to crumble to dust wherever they are.
Document recording : Designed to be one of the more offensive uses of her techniques and as such doesn’t really record something. By taking several of the books she has created (up to five) She will open them and prepare to use them as weapons. The general use of this move is launching them as tiny but potent projectiles at the enemy until the words are all used up. If constantly fired the pages will be used up in two full posts, but otherwise will generally take four.
Imprinted recording: Supposedly made to solve the problems of having people read a book this move has other uses. While this technique can allow others to instantly read texts worth of information through the imprinting of the title upon their person, it has another effect. It can overwhelm them with the information instead of smoothly traveling causing their minds to be blown by the information. This effectively paralyzes them for a post as the information floods their mind. It follows the same format as document with the exception of it being only one object heading at them. This move doesn’t work if the opponent already has all the information within them (So you can’t use their own history against them).
Counter recording : A barrier technique designed to show that words can always be used as a good defense. Creating a barrier out of letters between five to ten feet in any direction of her, and in a half dome shape Ai shall attempt to block an enemies attack. The first time that technique hits this barrier the defense shall be minimum and most likely the barrier shall fall. From then on however if the same technique hits this barrier it will do next to nothing. This barrier cannot work against non technique based attacks.
Smash recording : Sometimes a magical move just isn’t enough; sometimes you need to smash something’s face in. This is for those times; creating a giant letter or series of letters together Ai shall attempt to smack someone’s face in. They can be long as a sword or as big as a sky scrappier. The bigger the letters are the more potent they are become but they also become slower and easy to dodge.

Role-play sample:- Spoiler:
A figured stalked the daylight like a lunatic. Anarchy and violence spread throughout the area, and nothing seemed to be scared anymore. People dropped dead left and right and their bodies vanished like a snuffed flame. Car’s swerved to avoid the chaos but in turn fell to its crashing and burning. Within the middle of all the destruction was but a lone girl who was the cause of all of it originally. The great lie that people were safe was exposed and many wondered why this was happening, the wrath of god being called upon them? Maybe it was a terrorist act or some kind of experiment gone wrong. If only they knew it was none of these things if only they could see what the real problem was, but they never could they lacked spiritual gifts. More and more seemed to be crushed by the true terror that made this place their current home, the cause of this being desiring the destruction was almost scarier than the violence itself; for the girl was… sleep walking.
People were destroyed in an instant, but in her dream it was a paradise of green flowers, bubbles and old pop star goodness! Women, children, fruit stands nothing was safe from her happy bubblegum level adventure! Especially the fruit stands. Devouring the souls of those who were fleeing through the air as she skipped between the wreckage she was causing without a care in the world, Ai felt warm and happy. She was within the green paradise and having a blast with all the local enemies nothing was better than this right now except for maybe finding some health items as she had been smacked once by a rock and that obviously means a loss in a health bar. Ravaging entire blocks of a city quickly and with a song in her head and hollow hole she skipped till she subconsciously picked up on a stronger signature finally, the stage had been going on for a while so it must have been the final boss of that level.
Now she was excited she still had her cero power this boss was only first stage so he was obviously weaker than her! This would be a piece of cake! Within reality the shinigami defending this area was scared shitless of this display before him. He had never seen such random destruction from something that wasn’t even awake. He hadn’t been trained to fight this level of opponent he barely knew how to use his shikai let alone ravage some insane cero blasting hollow. Despite the appearance there was no mistaking this threat, and his sword was aching to defeat it before everything got too bad! Scream wimpymaru! he yelled at his most powerful of swords too its true form.
Appearing as a giant axe with many ornate markings he prepared to bash slash and hack this foul creature into oblivion. Charging towards her he made his swing true! Sadly the skipping happy go lucky hollow in a day dream sensed the boss making his first move and so fired off the power they had been using the whole level. The axe taking the hit he flew backwards his shikai safe but his body smashed into the ground. He knew not what had happened until the skipping figure appeared before him, and looked down. Her eyes shut and her mind focused on only one thing he struggled to get free only to find the concrete jammed tightly around him, The boss is here! I must defeat the boss at any cost! Prepare to eat my power! Freaking out a cero began charge from her bosom he yelled at the top of his lungs, I almost completed my comic collection!!! The blast silencing the yelling madman who wished he could have comics, his body in tatters and half of the sewer system and the rubble underneath it showing through. It was a giant crevasse caused by a much sexier one full of pep and still asleep. Holding the remainder of his body within her hands she knew what she was doing now. She was eating the max tomato the boss had dropped once he died.
Jumping over the hole within the ground she opened her eyes for the first and started to feel teary, I didn’t get… I didn’t get to get anything on the end of level bonus blanket, I love that thing.. Tears were starting to form as she not once looked behind her at all the destruction left from her little sleep waking charade. She was saddened at the loss of an enemy card or maybe another tomato, that is until she found it the holy grail of treasures. A candy shop before her she bounced up within the air out of joy like a school girl and marched right through the wall of it and started to rob the place. Happy as can be she vanished once again into Hueco mundo a whistle on her tongue along with different flavors of the candy she hijacked, and a fun adventure left behind her! All those sirens and weird lights she saw flashing from within the store were obviously all for her finishing the level successfully, and that’s all that mattered.
