Loner with the case of Loneliness - Due to being alone for so long..he has grown to feel loneliness even when around people in the real world. As such.he had developed a thing where he talks to himself a lot or in riddles or nonsensical whimsy form.
Reclusive - He tends to be very reclusive after battles or dramatic / tragic events. This usually points him as a loner since he doesn't tend to socialize in combat with his allies..even during training. This side of his personality is usually dominant..especially when his inner beast is giving him trouble.
Friendly - Though he tends to be a recluse during aforementioned moments..he is very friendly to anything that isn't an enemy and has an extremely kind air about him since he is so nice to everyone. This side of his personality usually has to be coaxed out..but when it is..it is dominant over reclusiveness.
Stubborn - He won't quit an argument if he knows he is right and won't back down from any challenge until his body simply won't work anymore. This sometimes makes him seem reckless..but he really isn't. This personality is constant.
Jack of All Trades - He has been around the bush many times over his long life..and has picked up general knowledge and skills about nearly everything possible..making him highly handy and intelligent. Though he doesn't specialize in any particular area of any kind..he is slightly above average at all things.
The Neutralist - He doesn't take sides in a conflict. though if his friends are the ones in danger he will aid them. he remains outside the black and white area and allows himself to see the entire picture instead of one side. This has allowed him to avoid many unnecessary battles with hollow, arrancar, and a couple of hinrichten. He doesn't blindly attack out of a seemingly good versus evil perspective..He waits until hostility occurs to act.
Living Bomb - Though he is neutral when weighing decisions..he does have a short fuse..easily goaded into anger if constantly reminded about his dead lover or continually insulted..He can only brush off comments for so long before they anger him..though he doesn't immediately get physical about it..he does get obvious anger in his face and body language.
Protector - He remains neutral in all conflicts..but truth be told the VERY few friends he allows himself to have..would definitely take priority in his decision making. He can't sit by and do nothing as his friends are in danger. This however..is for friends only.. not comrades or people he works with / for. this may extend to family...should that possibility arise.
The Arse - He is kind and friendly to all most of the time.. but being a being that is not perfect.. he cannot keep himself from being a major jerk sometimes. He does try to hide this feature of his personality by keeping silent and thinking the things instead of saying them..but there are simply some times when that isn't possible. He Can't stand it when people are acting retarded. He just can't stand it. Most of them people who act stupid and retarded aren't literally so..thus he finds it offensive they would act like morons and can't help but call them on it. this usually leads to arguments. This side of his personality is more dominant when his hollow side is at an advantage.
PeaceKeeper - When in a conflict..due to his neutral nature he will try to resolve it with both sides benefitting..Though he understands that in some cases this will be impossible..he would try to do so anyways just to see if he could make a peaceful solution to a dangerous situation. Though he is not above the line of thinking that power may bring peace through presence. Thus he diligently trains to strengthen himself to try and attain peace.
The Sufferer - When his inner beings are clashing..he has a chance to shake and shiver physically and be in great deals of pain as the immense power clashes inside his very soul. When this side of himself is dominant..it is very difficult for him to do much of anything except cringe in pain. Through the years..he has been able to suppress this pain enough to be able to at least run away if necessary.
Character Appearance
Height: 5'10'' Weight: 220 lbs Physical Traits:
Clothing:
Accessories: A pack of cigarettes, which are actually packed with weed instead of tobacco, and a red dragon themed Zippo lighter.
Fighting Style
General Fighting Style: Due to his inability to fight very well with hand to hand combat he honed his Zanjutsu skills to the maximum in order to be able to fight with his zanpaktou regardless of the situation to full effect..Coupled with his extensive training in the demon arts makes him a formidable opponent. He is very defensive in his fighting..not willing to give up being safe for attacking recklessly. This may make him seem weak..but in truth it helps keep him alive in difficult situations as he won't succumb to recklessness. He is a very keen on offense when given the chance though.
Strengths:
Immense Spiritual Pressure - He has also shown to be able to cause psychological effects in his opponents if their spiritual power was not on his level..making them see their own demise before he had done anything.. or on some cases even having a physical effect by making weaker beings fall to their knee's and hands..or having issues keeping steady breath.
Immense Physical Speed - His speed, coupled with his zanpakuto's abilities, reaches such heights that even small movements are done so quickly as to leave after images.
Enhanced physical strength - He is a war machine and his physical ability to cause damage does not leave this up for debate. He is incredibly strong for his level.
Weaknesses:
Endurance - Because he has always been so hard to hit he has never built a bodily defense and as such his endurance is much lower than one would expect of someone at Reno's caliber.
Stamina - While it isn't terrible, he burns through it quickly because of how often he has to struggle against his inner beast and inner hollow.
Tri-ality - Because he cannot always restrain his inner beast and hollow self they have a chance to rear their heads and make life more difficult for both Reno and Reno's opponents. However Aura, his Zanpaktou, does not allow these monsters to use her power. So they are essentially hulking berserkers with nothing but their own natural abilities and what is normally accessible to Reno. However since these forms are struggled to be brought forth and are fought to be restrained the entire time they burn through their respective stamina levels rather quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other Things About Reno -
EishÅhaki User - Though most shinigami adept in the use of Kidou can use this technique. Reno ALWAYS uses it to start with. Allowing him to use Kidou without an incantation. Though this drastically cuts down the time needed to use a kidou..it does make the spell weaker.
KÅjutsu EishÅ User - This technique is usable to those who are practitioners of Kidou..allowing them to use an incant AFTER the spell has been used in order to power it up immensely. Reno utilizes this with his bakudo mainly in order to make them more effective AFTER they have begun to work. Because he uses Eishohaki to make his kidou faster..this skill makes kidou more effective during travel or when in effect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zanpakuto & Kidou
Twin Zanpaktou: He is able to, at will, dual wield any variant of his Zanpaktou in that respected release state, but he does not HAVE to. This includes both his hollow form and Beast Mode.
Sealed Appearance:
Spiritâs Name: bankoku seigyoki or as she has named herself since she dislikes the name..Aura.
Spiritâs Appearance:
Spiritâs Personality: Aura is extremely kind hearted as a reflection of Reno's soul. Even though he is under the strain of the constant turmoil inside his soul he is still a kind person. Thus this true self is reflected. Aura weeps at the destruction caused by the other two beings within Reno and usually is very sad..but can be very cheerful and perky when in a very good mood. She loves to talk and reno usually has trouble getting her to be quite once she gets going. But she doesn't mean anything by it..She is however..a major catastrophe.. clumsiness..forgetfulness.. she's a walking disaster..she means well though and its the thought that counts. ( We hope )
Inner World: Torn apart by the constant fighting between Inner hollow and Inner beast. Aura can only fly in the skies above and weep at the desolation of her home...however..all hope isn't lost for she has a place in the sky she can take refuge in while the two below battle it out in a never ending fight to the death.
Torn World -
Aura's Sanctuary -
KIDOU
Hadou 4, 31, 58, 62, 90, 93, 96
Bakudo 8, 9, 39, 61, 63, 75, 81, 93
SHIKAI
Call Out Command: Rise and defend, Aura! (Despite being her nickname she happily accepts this and responds)
Appearance:
Ability Name: Energy Emission Description: He is able to form balls, beams, waves, explosions, shields, etc of Energy with which to combat with made of his own spiritual energy and power. Anything used in this ability gains an appropriate CD depending on the power of which he did said attack/defense. Attacking moves and defending moves do not share a CD, but while on a CD for Defense he cannot use any other defense and while on CD for Attack he can only do small "Half Bala" energy ball blasts.
Ability Name: Soul Speed Combat Description: Reno is constantly encased in a 6 by 10 "sphere" of influence in which he is able to control his spiritual power to such a degree as to actually form spirit energy blades and strike with such speed inside the influence that it literally seems like he was not "moving" at all. he only forms one of these blades but they can block standard projectiles and melee attacks within "Reason" (IE: He will not be using this ability to deal with Cero). This ability is defensive only and cannot be used to attack only to defend. (Example: He is attacked by a dozen swordsman. This ability would parry/block/sword push each attack within a second.) This ability can block up to five Separate Attacks/Combo's/Barrages before undergoing a single post cooldown. From an observer's view, unless they have some means of enhanced perception, it would look like he parried every attack just for standing there, but anyone with some means of enhanced perception, whether it's energy sensing or accelerated perception like robot eyes or whatever, would see his movements to some degree and note how he did what he did.
Ability Name: Pulse Strike Description: The user is so spiritually or Physically powerful that they are able to essentially create a "pulse" from any motion they make a back hand, a pulled punch, a sword swing and cause massive damage to other harmful effects against beings and constructs. The damage against other beings is capped at being half a cero of increase with repulsion properties similar to Bakudo no 9: Seki. Against objects and landscape the devastation is much greater capping at that of a gran rey cero.
Ability Name: Blur Inducing Motion Description: The users reflexes and movements are so supernaturally honed that anytime they "move" to avoid anything, reflexively or otherwise, that they leave behind blurs of where they were and where they are and on the way to where they are already moved to making it hard to predict their defensive reactions to most attacks and almost impossible to get the drop on them. The user can increase movement speed to this effect as well and gain the same effects. It doesn't make one a "perfect" dodger. it is just an explanation that his speed is at such a level that he moves fast enough to gain this visual effect.
Boosts: X2 Speed, Power
BANKAI
New Name: Myr Saesol Sai-eiloria ( Soul Tearing Tri-ality )
Bankai Incantation:
"For I am the ruler of all creation, those who oppose me, lose all hope, As I crush that which you know as reality, and create, anew, a world in which I am god. Shatter the proof of existence and give rise to my kingdom, Aura!"
Zanpaktou Appearance:
Ability Name: Battlefield Creation Description: When his bankai is activated he and his opponent(s) are temporarily transported an a exact copy of the location they were in. The difference being that it is a pocket dimension clone, and not the actual reality, so there are no people to get injured. This "Battlefield" lasts as long as Reno is in Bankai, unless he wishes to turn it off, and can only be escaped from via Dimensional Translocation powers or asking for Reno to release them. This ability was devised by Aura and Reno in order to give him a place to actually realize his fullest destructive capabilities.
Ability Name: Battle Empowerment Description: As battle progresses while in his Bankai form, and resetting anytime he leaves bankai, or enters a new thread, or even enters a new battle within the same thread, his overall abilities are increased by ten percent per post up to a maximum of 100%.
Ability Name: Shikai Retained Description: He keeps his shikai and it's functionality remains the same.
Ability Name: Absolution Description: When Reno calls upon this ability the absolute power held within Aura, combined with the totality of both his inner hollow and inner beast, is realized and the spiritual power generated from this one attack is so great that it taxes the power of all four spirits involved in it's use. When released Reno releases a wave of spiritual power so large and so thick that it could render practically anything unable to avoid it. If your within a 100 feet you'll take 2 forbidden Kidou worth of damage. 100 yards with deal up to 1.5 x forbidden Kidou damage while 200-300 yards away deals only One forbidden Kidou. After using this ability there is a small chance he will remain conscious, would have no chance of continuing combat, no chance of recovering in the thread he used this ability in, and would not be able to stay conscious much longer regardless. This ability cancels out any chance of Beast Mode and Full Hollow Form afterwards as their spirits are also tapped in the process of this ability.
Boosts: X3 Speed, Power
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inner Hollow and Inner Beast
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beast Mode - This concept is highly like hollowfication except it is caused by an inner beast within the soul of Reno that was caused by a split personality becoming a true manifested being. He is not able to control this form nor does he like when it is activated. When this form is Active Aura's Zanpaktou state is warped into an entirely new form that she dislikes almost as much as Reno dislikes the beast and his hollow. Aside from Aura being present in Zanpaktou form she does not grant the Beast her power. So this beast merely fights on pure instinct and rage. However it is noted that the angrier it becomes, the more powerful of an opponent it seems to be.
Personality of the Beast: The beast..deep..dark..anger..It is the collective of all the negative emotions within Reno. Sorrow to the point of insanity, Anger to the point of destruction. A recluse that if triggered by any hostility will react in a brutal way that usually ends with the death of one or many. Usually sane enough to hold this being back even when triggered..Reno manages to keep himself tucked away in some god forsaken corner so that nothing triggers the killing spree that would ensue if contact was made. Though in battle...he has no control.
Full Hollow Form - This is the absolute manifestation of his hollow and like his Beast Mode he cannot control it nor likes the fact it even exists. Aura, like her dealing with the beast, does not grant her power during these moments of being in Full Hollow form, but similarly to beast mode she is still present in Zanpaktou form and undergoes changes that she also similarly dislikes. This form, unlike Beast Mode, has access to basic hollow abilities such as Bala and Cero, high-speed regeneration, Sonido, and pesquisa.
Personality of the Hollow: The hollow is..like all hollows..a entity bent on devouring all souls in the pursuit of greater power. it is a menos class making it the stupidest and most hungry of hollow. Though this is still dangerous to the integrity of Reno's soul..the Inner beast is a bigger threat to his sanity and usually the two are too busy fighting one another to bother Reno at all.
Hollow Weapon -
Appearance of the Hollow:
x4 Speed, Power
Mask
Appearance:
Abilities: Augmented Spiritual Energy (x3), Very Enhanced Speed(x2), Enhanced Strength(x2), Reiryoku Enhancement(X3), Light Regeneration, Advanced Heirro effect, Mask Repair.
Hollow Powers: Cero, Bala, Gran Rey Cero
Custom Mask ability: Spacial Rend - his is able to "cut" out a rift in reality and transport instantaneously to any conceivable spot he can think of. He does not have to physically make a cutting motion but one is visually made with his spiritual energy before he can disappear into the rift created. He can do this one per two posts and up to eight times in one thread.
Mask Timer: 4 posts full posts consecutively. 8 total summons if he dismisses it after a single use (Which he generally does) before needing a two post cooldown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back Drop
Background: Human Life - The human aspect of Reno was quite frankly dull and boring as most human life is. He did what he could to scrape by for a living, but never really aspired or achieved anything of great importance. The only real notable thing that he did in his human life was care for his family the best he could with what little he had. He kept to himself..even to the point of alienating himself from all contact..though he kept in touch with his family. Beyond this little is truly known..though it is known that he care deeply for a human woman during his time like most men do. In fact..it is noted that he followed her into the afterlife after spending his entire life with her..taking his own life freely in order to do so.
AfterLife - this is where it becomes more interesting. Since he died to follow the only woman he had loved..it would be fair to note that he did indeed find her in Soul Society's Rukongai District. Although she was furious to find he ended his life to be with her in the afterlife..her feelings for him overcame her anger towards his suicide and they started to spend all of their time in Rukon together. This continued..for a very long time until something happened that ended up being unexplainable..because at the time the shinigami couldn't find out how it occurred..The woman whom Reno had spent all of his time with in life and death..suddenly vanished without a trace. He tried desperately to find her, but without any real power..he couldn't do anything on his own..and the Soul Reapers were convinced she was killed by hollows..though they never found anything to prove this.
The Beast Emerges - Following the months of the girls disappearance..something snapped within the mind of the poor man who had followed her into death and had followed her in life..he became extremely reclusive..giving into bursts of unreasonable rage at any and all contact with any being that wasn't female. Though females didn't bring forth a fit of rage..they also couldn't get him to talk..or come out of his secluded state of being. They eventually gave up on him and left him alone. This continued for centuries..until something else within him finally caught his consciousness' attention and pulled him back to his sense's. HIs mind finally kicking itself into gear..he wrestled control back from the beast that had taken him for so long..and slowly began to return to a normal life style.
The path of the shinigami - When his consciousness was pulled back to his senses..he realized that a hollow must have killed the woman he loved..and sought after the means in which to take his revenge..thus joining the shinigami academy in order to do this. He seemed to excel in all area's of the academy..quickly rising to the top and continuing to rise until he graduated. It was soon after this that he fought a hollow that seemed not only stronger than the average hollow..but caused a festering wound that took a very long time for the fourth division to heal. The wound physically..had closed..but it continued to effect his spiritual power and cause fatigue to occur much quicker than normal to him. Soon after this..he started to become ill..though stubbornly continued his duties as a shinigami.
The beginning of the end of the shinigami ways - It was on a mission in the world of the living..that his sickness finally took effect on him and caused him to begin to vomit a white filmy substance..his team immediately moved to subdue him..but failed as his mind deteriorated and he slaughtered them in a lapse of conscious thought. When he finished however..he stumbled into a empty alleyway and continued the puke a white substance that formed over his body..not soon after..he lost consciousness..and saw that his inner world..once beautiful..was now torn apart as if ravaged by war.
The beast and the hollow - While inside his inner world..during the unconscious state he was in as he attempted to hollowfy due to his illness. He found the beast he had long thought destroyed..fighting a hollow spirit. The two clashed and raged against one another as if being possessed by the god of war himself..they fought and fought..and neither seemed on the edge of being defeated. With the aid of his still intact Zanpaktou spirit..he managed to tip the tide of the battle in favor of the beast..who..unlike the hollow..was simply a manifestation of rage and survival.. Choosing the lesser two evils..Reno chose the beast in order to attain survival. The battle still continued for an hour or so in real time..but..the beast was the victor..but quickly turned on Reno and his Zanpaktou spirit. Due to this..another long..much more difficult battle ensued..where Reno and his zanpaktou were fatigued..the beast didn't seem to be..thus making a hard battle even more so..by luck..the two managed a surprise attack..ambushing the beast in a random building inside the torn inner world..causing the beast to slip into the unconscious part of the mind and fuse again with the spirit. In the meantime..Reno awoke in the world of the living..still in the alleyway he went unconscious in. with bits of hollow skin crumbling around his body.
In the centuries that followed..Reno was wracked with pain as the revived beast and hollow continued to wage all out war in his spirit. Eventually..he became so accustomed to the pain that he began to be able to function normally during it. But..by this time..knowing he had killed his team of fellow soul reapers.. he knew that he could not return to Soul Society and rejoin its ranks. Thus he started to act on his own..slaying hollow whenever he could while doing his best to avoid being detected by shinigami and humans alike. With more and more humans becoming aware..that had become more difficult..however..Now..at the present time..Too many people were beginning to notice him..and he had considerable control over his own soul..So..now..he decided to make himself publicly known..
Side Notes: Yeah..

Shikai Abilities Upgraded - While in bankai his ability to create is massively improved. Allowing him to create anything in the universe he can imagine and make it into a reality. All summoned creatures will begin at 1-5 tier and for every summon past the 2nd the tier will decrease by 4 ( Minimum of tier 4 ). He can now make anything from any element he can think of ( he knows them all ) He can now infuse his spiritual power into created things to make them stronger. He can use any of his manipulation powers at will at any moment combined with any other power he possesses. Relocation can now be used 5 times.

Re-activating his app and changing a good chunk of his appearance BUT NO CHANGES TO HIS POWERS. Since I've lost all my previous 1-1's and I don't wanna tier up anyone to 1-2 or 1-1.

his boosts exceed the max allowed for bankai, they x4 not x3, and I assume they exceed max amount allowed for full hollow form. honestly I feel he might need a re approval since hes to the standard of rotr. but ill leave that up to jun.
