Name: Ezekiel Hibana
Nickname: Twist of Fate
Age: 1 - Appears 30
Gender: Male
Weapon(s): Zanpaktou
Personality: Ezekiel would consider himself a twisted prodigy, one who's tragedies weren't inflicting him, but inflicting others. Accidents and the such had not been exactly mortifying for the child with no heart. There was always a sadistic nature in a way the term doesn't usually apply. There is no sexual pleasure from inflicting damage on others, there is humor. It is a hilarity held dearly to Ezekiel but a hilarity held secret to him as well. To have no connection to anything but his mother would only propose to one thing: he was a man with ambition. Ambitious to infiltrate an organization and act as a being related to the properties of the average of that organization. His true mastermind-plot is to kill Genryusai, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13.
Due to this grudge he wanted to take up an alliance in case one day he ever needed someone to call upon. Other than his strange version of sadism, he is generally a master of his main facade: the average joe who is neither caring nor uncaring over macro subjects. Relationships within this facade are easily made, it containing the kindness and humor of any rationally agnostic person. Aside from the social parts of personality, Ezekiel is a strategic man, most likely behind the lines of combat in order to be the main tactician.
Physical Appearance: Ezekiel has brown skin and a slender body. His body composition consists of long limbs mostly. Though it seems to fit his structure still. The proportions do not seem unnatural even though he has longer limbs. He has a vivid shade of brown hair, unusual to most humans who have brown hair. His eyes have a chocolate-brown color with a detailed outlining. His face structure is simplistic yet contains handsome features. His nose is small, as well as his ears. Ezekiel's skin is a light brown, like a sweet, light chocolate. His hair style is shaggy when unattended, though he somehow maintains to keep it slicked back. He wears fancy clothes along with a top hat. His clothes are black and he has a watch engraved with the words "Twist of Fate" which seems to be a fancy Rolex passed down from a family member.
Ezekiel has oval-shaped eyes with a slight squint. He has a very small mole on his left cheek diagnoly from his mouth in a perfect position. It does not stick out, in fact it is just like a freckle but it is a tiny bump. On his forehead is a scare in the shape of a cross. There is also a triangle scar around his solar plexus. Ezekiel usually walks with a small flow. This flowing strut is slightly noticeable but allows him to move more fluently though only at normal speeds. He acts with respect but attempted suave at the same time. Ezekiel sometimes tries to say clever remarks with this suave tone. Though his voice contains is deep and solid. Though it isn't too deep, it does contain a matured form for his age. His laugh reflects his voice, as he tries to keep it from annoying people unlike most. He has a selfless form though he does commit himself to research. Usually when stationary, Ezekiel, if he can, does a sort of sway. This is only when he is not formally addressing someone.
Bio:
The Slaughter of Quincies- Spoiler:
Death mats the world in any kind of situation, no matter the reason, no matter the motive. The war between quincy and shinigami had not only been one-sided, but it had also been brutal and mortally wounding to the race of quincy. This much was known, though there was one detail irrelevant to all but one person: Ezekiel. His mother was born in poverty but had always loved him. He was a fragile boy at first, but unlike most children he developed the whole black and white vision of the world. At the age of eight, he stopped the in-vain attempts at developing any kind of relationship with anyone other than her mother. To him, his mother was someone to idolize and respect. Someone who would love you for who you are, no matter if they are just like you. In the case of Ezekiel, there was a dark similarity.
Evelyn Hibana, the mother of the poor boy, had been the same uniquely-sadistic person. The two didn't realize until the end, until the death of Ezekiel, that the two were just alike. At the last words Ezekiel spoke, they crushed Evelyn for one simple reason: they lost all chance of ever loving each other. Where Ezekiel saw a mother to nurture him after murdering someone, Evelyn saw a lover to replace the equally insane husband before his awful demise. The incestuous feelings weren't lasting, just a flicker in the often-disrupted mind of the woman. In reaction to the death of her only child, her only son, she began hunting hollows instead of humans, instantly realizing the dangers it could hold. For many years she did this, and for many years the slow aging Ezekiel progressed through kept moving. Where he barely aged his mother majorly aged.
She hunted and killed to avenge her son's death for it was the hand of a hollow the splattered the guts of the young prodigy between its finger tips. The vivid memory of burned deeply into her skull, remembering the fingers wiggling tightly together, mushing and mashing the guts as fragments of bone glittered the ground. The memories shattered her on the inside, to the point where she had to find something to fight for now that her son was gone. Back in the soul society, Ezekiel grew and trained to become a shinigami, hoping for a seat in the Kido Corps. He built up much excitement to the fact he could learn the secrets of kido, the wonders of the magic and how it could crush what crushed his mother's heart. Though everything collapsed when he discovered the attack on the world of the living, an attack mainly set for the quincy. He knew of the quincy's magical ability to throw the spiritual balance off.
It was not exactly the end until he discovered one secret about his mother; that she herself had been a quincy. When it came to the war, the two had not met, at least not for the majority of it. It had not been his "choice" to kill as many quincy as her did, though he had not cared. The only thing that upset him was the possibility of killing his mother. Then, the great flames on the battlefield were not just the average post-explosion effect; no, they were the great flames of the Captain-Commander's shikai. Fire matted the area, incinerating the quincy without hardly paying attention. The power of the old Yamamoto was great, greater than he could imagine.
Scanning around, Ezekiel tried searching for his mother, only to find a last glimpse of hear before the instant multi-step kill took place. First, her flesh peeled from her skin, rolling like thin dough rolled into small crescents. The second step had been the seering of her flesh, as it wrinkled and bled. The third step had been the skin dissipating from the immense heat, burning itself off the both. The final step took the skeleton left behind, charring it in what seemed like a century, slowly turning it from a healthy structure to a mist of ash, shaping the skeleton until it glittered the ground in which she was incinerated.
Ezekiel fell to his knees, feeling complete and utter sadness for the first time. What made it worse was the fact that it was a heart break, something which he never expected. After the moments of grief, he noticed a grand battle occuring between what seemed to be the two leaders of the opposing groups, intensively scarring the battle field and utterly destroying it. During the view of the battle, Ezekiel blacked out, waking up in the barracks back in the Gotei 13. After explaining to his only friend what he saw on the battlefield, he was only met with insult to injury.
The "friend" he held dearly that was left had been mocking him the entire time in reaction to the story. The average question "why are you here", the average insult "why do you care?", those questions were amongst the many of trivia. During his last years as a shinigami, the hurt from loosing his mother had welled up inside him, burning deep into his heart. Eventually, his facade started fading and fading until there had been doubts as to what side he was on. The day of judgement came, for his captain confronted him with his lieutenant, causing Ezekiel burst out, wounding the lieutenant and scratching the captain with enough force to slightly disorient him.
The Centurion- Spoiler:
Ezekiel, after escaping the soul society, had solely been chased by his captain. Something about the reaction to almost killing his lieutenant had caused a sudden ambition for murder. In the world of the living, the captain cornered him, using a special ability to take the shinigami powers Ezekiel once wielded. In reaction to the sight of his soul chain, he yanked on it until it started bending and releasing. The chain links snapped, commencing a sudden infection of the hollow's influence. Day and night had been spent, Ezekiel gripping for control after beginning the process in which the hollow forms.
The first formation of hollow reishi engulfed his face, forming a simplistic, white mask with basic, tribal symbols all around it. After receiving his powers, wielding them once more, he tried forming allies, expendable ones at that, in order to form a rebellion against the soul society, though he never went through with it. The idea always seemed too suicidal, even for Ezekiel as crazy as he was. For centuries, he sat in a blind spot the shinigami could never find, training hard and long. The contemplation of Yamamoto's death had built up inside, the grand emotion of hate being one of few he felt. The power of hate drove him to attempt to become strong, strong enough to take on the grand head of the Gotei 13.
Eventually, once the fire from the slaughter of quincy died down, he became cozy and seperated from everything. From there, he easily escaped from Japan into North America, adjusting to the life style there with his own stolen gigai. A job, even a girlfriend had been achieved just to construct perfect shade over his identity. Though he was somewhat irrelevant to the captains of the Gotei 13 and yet, he felt as if he would be a threat. It would soon come, his chance for revenge. Most if not all would see him as a tiny nuisance, not even a threat to Yamamoto, but he sees differently.
ZanpakutōName: Neji Kokoro
Zanpakutō spirit: Neji Kokoro is a statue shaped in the image of a demon from folk tale named Abaddon. In some form she represents Ezekiel's mother and the twisted person she had been. The statue is the size of the Statue of Liberty. Although she can speak, she remains motionless. The statue form Neji Kokoro takes is a representation of the world the zanpakuto links to. On her back stone bat wings erect. The design of the wings are wicked, the arches being especially defined. They seem so alive and made from flesh, though they themselves are still part of the statue and are motionless as well.
Sealed form: Neji Kokoro is sealed within a arched uchigatana that has a stygian blade and pure white hilt. The cross-guard is the kanji symbol for wicked. The grip is more of a third-dimension rectangular shape that, from the middle, decreases in width. The pommel is rounded off, save for a black cresecent. On the grip there is thin strands of black cloth forming a wicked pattern. The edge of the stygian blade is ivory-white. The blade itself is 2.4 feet long.
ShikaiShikai description: The shikai is a blade of wicked patterns, twisting with vine-like extensions protruding from the blade. The blade itself loses the ivory-white edge and remains completely black. A single blade is surrounded by several, small vine-like blades that wrap around and form a pattern mimicking the tendrils of a shadow's mist. The cross-guard shapes into a black star, similar to the most commonly-used shape for the northern star in cartoons. The grip itself now is rounded like a greatsword's. The length of the blade is extended to 2.9 feet.
Call out phrase: Unlock, Neji Kokoro
Ability: Neji Kokoro's ability is a form importing, like bringing structures from a world made/linked by Neji Kokoro and placing them wherever he slashes. At each slash eubacteria from this world can be placed, eating away at what it touches for a very brief moment. The world is referred to as "the Infernium". Though during Shikai, this world is never revealed nor hinted at. This is mainly a gateway ability.
Techniques:
Maina JuninEzekiel may stab the ground, planting a black seed which rapidly opens and spreads its roots across 20 feet. From the center and in all cardinal directions (including NE, NW, SE, SW) completely black, faceless figures sprout. The seed disintegrates and the roots transfer into the figures. The seed isn't actually a seed, more like a transit the figures take to travel into the world. For 3 posts, depending on what type of Maina Junin Ezekiel chooses, they can last from 4 posts to 6. After they go away or they are completely finished off, there is a 5 post cool down. In total there are 9 figures. For exception of Guretoeakksu, which has 5.
The figures themselves act as obedient soldiers, but they fight with little coordination in turn for high strength. Their base strength is equal to 2 points more than Ezekiel's hakuda skill. Though their bukijuu is quite the opposite of their hakuda. They have low hankou and can easily be taken out.
[i]
Maina Junin: GuretoeakksuThe figures extend their hand as stems flow from their palm, constructing themselves into great axes. The great axes seperate themselves from the figures, becoming their weapons. This lasts 4 posts and there are 5 figures instead of 9.
Maina Junin: AcheriThe figures sprout bows from their hands and quivers full of 30 arrows from their backs. The bows are just like short recurves with basic tips. There are nine and they last for 5 posts.
Maina Junin: KishiThe figures produce roots from their body from the chest down, the roots constructing into armor. A sword and shield forms in the left and right arm respectively. They become knights, lasting for 6 posts. They are more defensive and can be commanded to either protect Ezekiel or press forward with attacks.
Ju-ArutemisuFrom Ezekiel's blade a gun manifests which he can grab and equip. It has six powerful shots, equivalent to a shikai-level spiritual magnum. It can fire slug-like shots and can reload twice. The structure of the gun is that of a wicked pattern. The gun is completely black and alien-like. The handle is curved and saver-like whereas the barrel is elongated. There is no need for a hammer, the trigger is all that is needed to shoot it. The gun glows with a blue aura of reiatsu for one post, signifying it reloading once it is empty. This has a 3 post cooldown and lasts until the ammo is used.
Gureta Ju-ArutemisuThe gun, if already manifested, grows into what seems to be a alien-like, sawed-off shotgun. It now has a pump and can fire up to ten shots. It can reload twice like before and does not consume any ammo left over from the regular Ju-Arutemisu. It lasts for 4 posts with a 4 post cooldown. The attack power is 1.7x higher.
SuzumesuragaHalfing the amount of shots the Ju-Arutemiso and Gureta Ju-Arutemisu can fire, they become capable of having double the attack power. The rounds have a very compressed spread and highly increased piercing capability. The capability of reloading is disabled and once the shots of Suzumesuraga are used, Ju-Arutemisu ends.
TesurakoiraEzekiel may stab the ground, planting a seed that sprouts from the ground a completely black tesla coil. No reiatsu-based attacks can be performed within a 45 foot radius of the reiatsu tesla coil. The tesla coil is 5-feet wide and 10-feet tall. It classifies energy-producing attacks such as kido and things such as getsuga tenshou as reiatsu-based. This includes the arrows and seele schneider quincy use even though they are based from reiryoku and reishi.
YosaiThis is a gateway technique for several different techniques used to build a fortress made from the Infernium. The fortress lasts for 9 posts, each level besides the first adding an extra 2 posts to the duration. This can only be used once per topic.
Reberu WanThe base building of Yosai constructs after Ezekiel stabs the ground, placing the "seed" of the Infernium. This is as strong as a castle's walls. It is the size of a regular house and has two floors. On the first floor is a safe room, on the second is three rooms: a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
Reberu 2The building from Reberu Wan now obtains outer walls surrounding it, the walls standing at 30 feet with 9 archer's towers between its 9 segments, connecting them.
Reberu 3A trench forms around the outside of the outer walls, which are 10 feet deep and 10 feet long. The trenches are filled with a black mud, which is thick and filled with the Infernium's eubacteria. The trenches are coated with the black rock from the Infernium to avoid releasing the eubacteria.
Reberu 4The wall heightens by 5 feet and there is a catapult tower on the inside of the fortress, capable of firing rocks matted with a dark fire once every three posts.
Reberu 5The fortress itself reinforces as well as the trench lengthening to 15 feet. The thickness of the mud now sucks in its victims but it can be escaped if they apply enough force. There are now 3 catapult towers that can fire every 3 posts. Though only 2 can fire at once. The Junin can be produced from an extension of the base building called the "Sprout Room". The junin are Mania Junin: Acheri and Kishi. The Acheri set up on top of the towers, now using ballistas mounted on the towers. There is now a bridge that can be extended in which the Kishi can use to traverse.
HashiEzekiel can summon a bridge with his blade that extends up to 50 feet . It can rise up to 30 feet and can be used to scale over buildings and structures (as well as people occupied in battle).
Bankai Bankai name: Tsuisoto Bokyaku
Bankai description: Ezekiel's sword, instead of the shikai's twisted design, becomes a perfectly symmetrical longsword. The blade is black as well as the hilt, just like the sealed form. The blade has kanji symbols running down it in like fire-engraved letters saying "Infernium" on one side and "Gate and Key" on the other. The cross-guard is like a classic claymore's, faning towards the blade. The grip is like a pole of marble and the pommel is like a glimmering, brilliant sapphire.
Ability: Tsuisoto Bokyaku can be used in various different forms as a transit that goes back and forth between the Infernium. The world is actually a twisted, dark world with many wicked structures. The world seems endless yet the main area is where the Yosai is, a fully constructed Yosai which has a silver lava in its trenches instead of the eubacteria-infested mud. There are techniques that classify how to transfer between the real world and the artificial world, the Infernium. If Ezekiel or another travels into the Infernium and Ezekiel tries to transfer them or himself back, the point in which the "gate" was used is where they will return.
The gate itself is the sword, the sword also being the key. When the sword inflicts heavy wounds or hits an artery, it instead transfers that person into the Infernium instead of mortally wounding them. Outside the Infernium, only minor wounds can be used to inflict damage.
Techniques:
GetofomuThe term used for the different ways Ezekiel transfers himself or others into the Infernium, excluding the ability to do so instead of inflicting mortal wounds. Each have a one post cool down. Within the main Yosai of the Infernium, a gate resides that can be opened by either Tsuisoto Bokyaku or the blood of another placed inside the keyhole. Though this does not apply to gates made outside the Infernium.
Mon no HaStabbing his Tsuisoto Bokyaku into the ground, Ezekiel and others who are willing are transmuted into shadows and sucked into the blade, using the blade as a gateway to the Infernium. The sword itself petrifies and turns into stone, only being destroyed by non-powerful beings (a human with a regular sledgehammer could destroy it, but not a shinigami's zanpakuto). If the sword is destroyed, the gate is closed forever. Ezekiel does not have to pass into the Infernium. Though for others, it only transfers them if they are willing to be.
Geto KeiseiEzekiel transmutes the material of something such as a full grown tree or the wall of building into the dark material from the Infernium, a black gate can be manifested. This gate's keyhole is in the shape of a diamond, meant for Tsuisoto Bokyaku to stab into it to unlock it. It stays open for two posts. The gate also dissipates into a black mist after it closes if Ezekiel passes into the Infernium. Ezekiel may also close the gate from the Infernium if he chooses.
Kozo SeigyuWhilst in the Infernium, Ezekiel may control the environment, forming new structures and such, as well as manipulating any existing factor. He can also cause a form of vegetation, using his power as a catalyst and building forests. He can also build Yosai without going through the five levels individually. Each structure lasts for 5 posts and each Yosai last for 4. The forests can last for 6 posts. Also, he can use the environment as a weapon. This lasts either until he leaves the Infernium or for 12 posts. There is a 8 post cool down.
Junin no Shitsuryo15 of the Junin can manifest from the ground, fully armored and wielding either swords and shields, greatbows, lances, or great axes. Ezekiel may pick and choose what wields what. These Junin are fairly durable and can take more than one blow, but are still a small threat alone. They last until they are all wiped out and there is a cool down of six posts. This can only be used in the Infernium.
Hoshi Rumu no MoyashiIf Ezekiel chooses, he can sprout thirty of the Maina Junin from a Yosai's spore room. Otherwise, he can sprout ten of the junin from Junin no Shitsuryo with much more durability but simplistic weapons such as short bows, longswords without shields, and pikes.
Ju-ArutemisuThe Ju-Arutemisu is the same as the Shikai's version except it is much stronger, being Bankai-level.
Gureta Ju-ArutemisuThe same as the shikai's version, except much stronger.
SuzumesuragaThe same as the shikai's version, but much stronger.
ArutemisunoyumiWhatever form Ju-Arutemisu is in, it can be transformed into glowing orb of purplish aura. The glowing orb floats above Ezekiel's head and can act as a turret that fires a single, powerful round of reiatsu. The reiatsu bullet is 1.5x stronger than the Suzumesuraga's Gureta Ju-Arutemisu version. It can only fire three times per post and lasts for 4 posts with a 4 post cool down.
Inner HollowName of inner hollow: Zekonith
Personality: Zekonith is like a reflection of Ezekiel except for his facade attributes. Zekonith does not portray himself as any other kind of person except the ruthless, non-caring sadistic person Ezekiel truly is. He is more willing to slaughter a thousand people without pre-thought to it. Though there is a weird fascination for women in the form of lust. He'd romantically make love to a woman without feeling any emotion but the sexual drive from it before he'd kill her. This only applied to if they struck Zekonith as "sexy" or "hot".
Appearance: Zekonith is the exact replica of Ezekiel when it comes to structure. The only difference is that Zekonith keeps his hair down and has the step of a jester. He acts silly and has completely black hair with ivory-white skin. His clothes are completely white with a small, black trim. Also, oddly enough he is a bit more slender than Ezekiel.
Hollow mask: Ezekiel's mask is shaped like a hyena's face, seemingly laughing. The eyes are arched up and the mouth is a twisted smile made from a hyena's laugh, revealing jagged teeth that also smiled. The lips were black and a tattoo-like design rested on most of the mask.
The structure of the maskRole-play sample:
