Basic Information
Name: Marek Ishtar
Age: early twenties
True Age:3789
Sex: Male
Personality: Marek is a violent, volatile creature at heart. However he often hides it, trying to pretend to be good. Marek has been in hell a long time, and has been eaten by the kashanadu hundreds of times, something that would hve driven many mad by now, or broken them. However, Marek believes that if he s good enough, or at least pretends to be, the Soul King will let him out of hell. It is a hope that keeps him going and forces him to subliminate his more violent tendencies, sparing an unfortunate man who stumbled upon his home for instance, despite his desire to crush the man.
Likes: Marek loves his time spent out of hell and does so as often as he can, in anyway he can. He also enjoys spending his time daydreaming, watching the people of the world of the living and often dreaming of how life would be if he was in their shoes. He also enjoys his time spent trying to redeem himself, using the fact that people cant see him for random good deeds, like pushing a man out of the way of a car, while at the same time thinking of the way his guts would splatter.....
Fears: Marek is, of course, afraid of the Kushanada, like all other sinners. He is also afraid that his dream will never come to fruition. He believes that, despite his sentence to hell, he is still able to be redeemed. He thinks he must only prove himself to the Soul King to be freed from hell. His third fear is becoming trapped in hell. He hates it there, who wouldnt, and is frightened by the thought of no longer being able to leave.

He has no hair on his chest, but has surprisingly hairy forearms, with even more bulging muscles, and sharp, pointed fngernails made of metal embedded in his fingers. His chest bulges impressivly, and his abs are sculpted, as are his muscular legs, with even more metal nails on his toes.
Clothing: [What does your character wear]Marek wears nothing on his head, except for the mask he has to wear in the human world. His shoulders are also bare, but he wears several loops of spiked chain crossed around his chest, which he can pull off and use as a weapon. His arms are bare, to the elbow. From the elbow down he wears a pair of spiked cestus, several bands of black metal with rows of silver spikes jutting out of each band, getting longer at the knuckles. The bands are held in place by leather straps. He wears a thick, wide leather belt with small spikes jutting out all around it, the buckle being an upside down triangle for a clasp. He wears a knee length 'kilt', several knee length straps of leather with small spikes running down each strap, thick enough to be actual clothing. He also wears old, gladiator style, leather sandals, with small spikes running down the leather shin gaurds.
Accessories: None
Fighting Style
General Fighting Style: Marek was a gladiator in his human life and still uses a similar fighting style. Anything and everything is a weapon. His preferrential style is straight up brawling, using hist fist, knees, elbows, feet, and head as weapons and utilizing the chain around his chest occasionally.
Strengths: Marek is an incredible specimen of physical prowess. He is incredibly strong, being much more physically powerful than most people. His most impressive ability however is his durability. He has a Heirro like ability, giving him very thick, tough skin able to withstand the blade of someone three tiers above him in first form, two tiers in shikai like form, and one tier in bankai like form. He is also able to regenerate injuries, making him able to mend wounds in his body fast enough for others to see.
Weaknesses: Marek has a weak point right t the base of his head, in the back, that, with the slightest pressure, causes him to pass out. He is also weak to fire, it deals extra damage to him. Also, because he was a gladiator in roman times, he isnt the most intelligent of beings. He isnt retarded, but neither is he very bright.
Mods/ Weapons/ Abilities:
Weapon / Hellish Modifications / ..Tentacle?: Marek uses the two spiked cestus on his arms and hands as his main weapos. They are powerful, and strong, able to hold back zanpaktou with ease. He can also use the chain aroud his chest as a weapon.He can control however long he wants the chain to be.
Name: Shatter Storm
Effect: The chain around his chest shatters into two hundred individual, spiked links, that fly freely around his body in an encircling sphere. The links are controlled by him, mentally, and do whatever he wishes, wether that be fly at his opponent as deadly weapon, or form up in front of him like a shield. He can keep it going for as long as he wants, until he hits fatigue state at which point it turns off. He must then wait ten turns to use it again.
Name: Bolt of Olympus
Effect: Marek lifts his hand up, gathering electrical energy, which he then throws like a javelin. Similiar in power to hado number four.
Name: Herculean throw
Effect: Marek sticks his right arm out to the side, his hand gripping as if he was holding a discus. He then goes into a spin, like an olympic discus thrower. On the backside of the spin, an olympic discus, like used in old greece, forms in his hand, which he then throws, with devestating force. Getting hit by this thing hurts, alot. But the worst part is the vacuum it creates in its wake, a powerful cone that starts as a foot wide cone that sucks in evrything behind it, but grows the more that gets caught in the vacuum. For instance, were it to strike a building, it would of course go through. But the vacuum would grab hold of the wall around where it went in and pull it along after the discus, grabbing more and more of the building as it went until the entire building was gone, or the discus stopped. This also works for rieatsu based attacks like cero. Another downside, for the target, is that if hit by the discus after it has created a tail so to speak, everything caught in its wake will also smash into the target. The discus is on par with a lvl 70 hado, and requires a four post cooldown.
Name: Soul Ripper
Effect: Marek whips out the chain he wears on his chest and swings it at the opponent. As the chain hits, it deals no damage to bone or tissue, instead targeting the spiritual energy coursing through that limb and disrupting it, making it impossible to use spiritual energy with that limb. It is also able to disrut kido up to lvl 20 at 2-1, 30 at 1-5, 40 at 1-4, 50 at 1-3, 60 at 1-2, and seventy at 1-1, and 80 at 0, if he ever reaches that. This lasts for two turns before the flow rights itself and can be cancelled out by someone two tiers above him. A person with high spiritual control or spiritual power are better able to right their flow again after the disruption, and thus for them it only lasts for one turn. Cooldown of three posts.
Name: Gaurd of Sparta
Effect: Marek throws his arm out infront of him, bnt at the arm, and a magical, spartan shield appears, tiny at first, right at his wrist, and extends out to a full sied shield, able to stop up to lvl seventy hadou
Name: Promethean Gaurd
Effect: Mareks arms become encased in an aura of flame, about an inch from his skin. The flame allows him to defend against hado up to lvl 20. However, it also allows him an increase in damage. With each punch he throws, a ten foot cone of flame, equal in power to a bala, erupts from his fist. The flame gaurds last for two posts, and while they are on the blast erupts from each blow. Afterwards, he must wait three rounds before using it again.
Back Drop
Background: Marek was one of the first gladiators of ancient rome, and a damned good one. He often indulged in the carnal pleasures, and took great pleasure in his kills. So it wasnt to shocking for him when he wound up in hell after his death at the hands of ten other gladiators after poisoning him. He woke up in hell angry and ready for a fight, and the other sinners and the Kashanadu were more than happy to give him one. He redied and was reborn hundreds of times over the looong millenia he has spent in hell, and each time has come back stronger, smarter, and even more determined than before. However, despite his rage, and his vicious nature, he hates where he is. After two thousand years in hell he began to lose hope of ever escaping, and his spirit began to slowly break down. But his fierce pride refused to let him quit so easily. As his spirit began to break, he began spending more and more time thinking. He often considered his position and how he had got to where he was. If evil and sin had gotten him here....perhaps the opposite could get him out. With this thought in mind, Marek took on a new determination. He hated having to push down who he really was, but if it got him out of hell, it was worth it. And so he has spent the past two thousand or so trying to 'redeem' himself. He tried, at first, to try and help people. Pulling guys out of the way of cars, being the miracle that let a kid fall from three stories and walk away unharmed. But he was a warrior, not a gaurdian angel, and he always had to fight the urge to shove the man back into traffic, or throw the kid back into the air. He did not like his role as the secret good guy. So instead he found a new way to help people and 'be good'. He turned his wrath upon the Hollow, and the other sinners of the world. He took down Hollow viciously, and easily, before the shinigami hd time to respond. He used his power, and the fact that he couldnt be seen, to stop crimes, in the process commiting new ones. He still disliked ths, preferring to do things for himself and not others, but in his mind, he believed it would get him out of hell.
Side Notes: Marek has rejected Hell, its rules, and its so called ruler. There is only one king of hell, the Soul King, and he refuses to bow to another.
