Further Details


Appearance: Ceferino is a very interesting hollow in physique. He is one of the few Adjuchas who are a cross between animal form and humanoid form. His eyes are yellow in color, and are filled with ambition and power. They have no pupil or iris, but are pure yellow in color. His mask is white with red stripes and a large hole where his mouth is. His teeth are pure white in color, and are incredibly sharp. They are quite long, 3 inches long, and semi wide, 1.5 inches wide. He has a very slim and pointed nose, that is about 4 inches in all, length-wise. He has long, bright orange hair that starts from the top of his head and gets below his arm pits.

Ceferino has an incredibly muscular torso, in that it is decorated with a 6 pack. His rib cage is sticking out of his body, and is also decorated in red and white, like the rest of his body. They are quite thick, and durable. They wrap around his waist, about 8 inches long, and are about 5 inches thick. His hole is decorated dead center, where his heart would be.

His shoulders are covered in bone like shoulder pads and are also really thick. They have spikes poking out that are about 3 inches long and 2 inches thick. There are 6 spikes in all. Between his arm and the shoulder pads are a black tissue that is quite long and filmy, although they can become quite hard. They can also stretch out about 3 feet as black tendrils. His arms are quite muscular and have a nice large bicep. Around his wrists are white versions of the black tissue. And his hands are more like claws. In his right hand, he has a large double edged blade, which is unique only to him. The blades are quite long, about 6 feet from “wing” to “wing”.

He has really muscular legs that are covered in baggy pants that make his legs look fat. Sometimes he will be seen crawling on all fours, carrying the blade in his mouth, although he generally stands on his hind legs. The pant are white with a few black stripes, and wears a black belt around his wait. His shirt is the average Shinigami captain suit that is ripped up, revealing an insanely huge chest. And out of the vest are 12 long tendrils that are connected to his body. This is generally the only suit that he will ever be seen wearing.

But when he becomes an arrancar, his body becomes very slender. He always wears a grin on his face. His hair is spikey and pure gray. His eyes are yellow and white and he has tattoos scattered across his bare body. He is about 5"6, although his shape varies, due to his unique abilities. He generally carries his sword in a sheath, although frequently doesn't carry one at all. He wears white baggy pants, and a black sash to hold his attire up. Sometimes he will wear what he calls an "Anti-Shinigami" suit, which is basically a regular shinigami suit that is white predominantly, and lined with black stripes. Other times he goes shirtless.

[Hollow]

Personality: Ceferino’s most notable mood is his fighting mood. He is always ready for a good opponent, and always lusting for more blood and power. He is ruthless and heartless, and only cares about those who are of higher importance than he is. He loves the smell of blood, and the fresh taste of it. He loves to hear the screaming and screeching that souls feel while they are in agonizing pain. He loves the fear that people feel when they see him. He is the Reason that demonophobia, hypnophobia, phasmophobia, and ommatophobia exist. He finds it quite fun when he devours the souls of the Shinigami especially.

Another notable trait of his is his loyalty. He is loyal to two people in the universe of souls. One is an unknown figure, and the other is the Adjuchas Hollow known as Casimiro Baldomero. His loyalty to Casimiro goes way back into the past when they first met. He does not know weather Casimiro is stronger, but he knows that Casimiro is worthy of respect, and proves to Casimiro that he is a loyal companion. He looks to Casimiro as a leader, and is willing to do anything for him. Although he ended up devouring the soul for extra energy, the loyalty remained, until the lust for power grew. Now that he has a brain, his loyalty has been doubled.

When alone, or in the presence of greatness, Ceferino always listens before speaking, and thinks critically. He is quite intelligent, and uses that to his aid. A lot of times, Ceferino get angry whenever he is not allowed to eat the souls of other hollows, but deals with it, if Casimiro or the other unknown figure doesn’t allow him too. He never gets bored, and when he is on the verge of boredom, he always goes out to hunt and devour weaker class hollows. Just for the hell of it.
Ceferino is also quite truthful. He does not lie to those who he has deemed as worthy to bare the truth.

Once in a while Ceferino does not show any sanity. In fact one of his favorite lines is, “Who ever said I was sane in the first place?” He loves insanity, and drives himself to the point of insanity, for an all time high in strength, and ruthlessness. Although he can control his sanity, he chooses to stay insane for a number of reasons.

Innate Ability:

Transformation: Unlike most people, his ability isn't something that gives him more power. All it does is allow him to transform his body into the state of his prior form as an Adjhucas. In this state, his muscle mass increases, and his appearance is more frightening, but he only gains one special technique, which is the ability to manipulate bones. Everything else stays the same. This ability is used to pass by easily as being a normal hollow, and getting underestimated in battle. Posing as a normal hollow has gotten him through many situations.

Biography

Background: Birth: At birth Ceferino was known as Takashi Hitomugi. He was born on the 1st of January in a small area off the coast of Japan. At birth he was nothing more than a regular baby. He was the average weight and height for a baby, not gaining much attention. He was the first baby born that year in his village, and was exalted for that. They called him the West Wind’s Gift.

At the age of 3 Takashi had learned how to walk and talk. He began to pick things up and throw them at targets. He wasn’t accurate or anything, but stuck with this for a long time. By the time he was age 7 he had become a great archer. He was able to hit the bull’s eye from 300 feet away. He was getting quite good, and his parents were happy.

At the age of 9, his parents sent him off to boarding school, where he learned much more than he did at his regular school in the small village by the water. As a sport, he did archery, and was the best in his class. He wasn’t a straight A student, but he was not terrible at all. He was incredibly fit for his age, but not to muscular, not to strong, and not to fast, Just Average.

At the age of 18, Takashi had finished school and enrolled in the army. As the West Wind’s Gift, he was given a special bow, silver in color. He was going to be the leading archer in the 1st Division of Archery. Their village was waging war on one of the other neighboring village, for power of the aquatic features. As the days went on the war drew nearer, and Takashi continued practicing. His skills were unmatched by all those archers who had tried to out do him, yet he never gave up on practicing.

The day before his 19th birthday, the war had begun. Being an archer, he was fighting at a long range, trying to pick off as many warriors as possible. He was able to hit 14 people pretty easily, and without being noticed, but soon the enemies had found out where he and his division were. They came in and surrounded them. Takashi, being who he is, he pulled out his sword and told his unit, “Joining the army was a noble thing to do. We must serve our village well, and protect them with our lives!” The soldiers cheered, pulled out their swords and rushed at their captors. He grinned as he felt blades ripping away at his flesh, but that did not stop him. He carried on until he lost much blood, and fainted.

3 weeks later he woke up in the enemy camps hospital. When he woke up he found that his own village had given up, and moved away, and left Takashi behind. Dismayed Takashi went to the temple of the god of the winds, and prayed for a safe journey. But the chief of this clan asked him to stay as their guest of honor. The tales of his life were great and well-known, and they wanted him for their own. He agreed on one term, he would be allowed 1 year to find his clan. The chief allowed it and sent him on his quest for 1 year, no more and no less.

6 months later, Takashi found himself in the wilderness facing off many wild animals. He glanced around and noticed that their were three tigers surrounding him. He couldn’t do anything but fight. Still recovering from his wounds, he had an idea that his time would be up soon. He fought valiantly against the three tigers, but in the end, all of the effort was for nothing. He had failed in life…it was over. He slowly closed his eyes, and felt the tigers tearing into his flesh. He smelt the blood on their lips, and heard the triumph in their roars. He then faded off into nothingness.

He then woke up and found himself in the Soul Society. He ended up in a place called District 79. Every where around him there was blood shed, and terror. He could hear the shrieks of dying victims, and wanted a way out of there. A man faced him, blood stained on his sword. He had a crazy look in his eyes, and glared at Takashi. Takashi looked back and muttered a few words to the man. “Where the hell am I? What is District 79? Is this Hell?!”

The arrogant man wearing a white robe just laughed and pointed his sword at Takashi. “No, you are not in hell, this is Soul Society, and District 79 is the 2nd worse district you could find yourself in. Who are you? And why are you here?”

Takashi, puzzled, replied in a soft voice “My name is Takashi… and I don’t know what happened...”

The man chuckled and spoke again, “Well I know what happened. You died, and a soul reaper, like me, set you free. You have promise, come back with me into the Seireitei.”

Astonished, Takashi accepted his offer. They had an excellent conversation, and Takashi learned a lot about where he was. He joined the Academy and stayed a soul reaper for the next 150 years. He found himself in the 2nd Division. He became the 3rd seat was a great warrior, well known for his skills in hand to hand combat. Within the next 100 years or so, he lost track of time, he found his captain dead. Murdered by another squad member. Fearing for his life, he ran into the world of the mortals, and resided there for some time.

After about 30 years as a wandering soul, he came face to face with a hollow, named The Great Devourer. This hollow was incredibly strong, and just by the reiatsu he gave off he knew he wouldn’t be able to last, but he fought him anyways. Releasing his shikai, which took the form of a bow, he jumped back and tried to shoot him with reiatsu arrows. The arrows did not faze him at all. Then the hollow chuckled and charged a red beam. Stunned by fear, Takashi found himself, legs planted in the ground and unable to move. The next thing he knew, he had been killed once again. A second death, more terrible than the first.

Once again he woke up, this time as a tiny spider like creature. And when he woke up, he had the craving for spirits. He could not control himself and went on many mass sprees, attacking every spirit in sight. As he devoured more ‘hollows’, as he learned to call them, he grew in strength, and size. The next thing he knew, he had grown about 6 feet. He then made his way back to the village where he had been born, and found out that life had resumed there. Not knowing that that was where he was born, he destroyed it, and ate all the souls there.

He soon found himself bored, and came back to his homeland, Hueco Muendo. He and a few other hollows had learned a method of increasing their prowess, and began to fuse with each other. They became a creature, known to shinigami as Menos Grande. These creatures were incredibly tall, up to 20 feet, but incredibly stupid. In this fusion, Takashi, became known as Ceferino. He had no problem controlling the beast he had become, yet he still thirsted to devour on hollows. He then consulted again with the Hollow known as Casimiro, inquiring about the hollows. Casimiro explained how he himself was an Adjuchas level hollow, and Ceferino was a Gillian Class. He also learned that there was only one way to exceed the class known as ‘Gillian.’

So Ceferino went off trying to accomplish that task. Ceferino went to Japan and began to eat every soul in sight. He gained so much power that he was quite known by other hollows. Even though he was older, he wasn’t one of the strongest, and he wanted to change that. Soon he came back to Hueco Muendo and ate a numerous amount of hollows.

After about 150 more years of complete devouring, Ceferino began to change. He took on a more humanoid form, and became an Adjuchas. The first thing he did as an Adjuchas class was grin at the world and his first words were, “So this is what power feels like? Maybe I can exceed this level, and become a higher being!” With this Ceferino left Hueco Muendo and traveled back into earth. He ate 14 Soul Reapers, 666 hollows, and over one thousand other souls in his time there before coming back to Hueco Muendo. He met up with Casimiro, and swore allegiance to him, as a loyal servant, and set his goal on obtaining a higher level as a hollow. He has spent the remainder of his life eating hollows, and other souls, to accomplish his goal.

Many years later, he had finally leeched off the many souls that had been left in and around hueco mundo. Casually leaving and coming to find tastier, and mightier souls. His body began to develop scarier, and more noticeable features. Although his abilities remained the same. He grew even more humanoid, and his sense had almost been perfectly completed as he had reached the Vaste Lord phase of being a hollow. His pangs had subsided, although he wasn't sure on exactly how. He began to feel more feelings, and less hungry. His body grew smaller, yet his strength increased. His speed also doubled, and in these years of being a Vaste Lorde, he managed killing Casimiro, and absorbing his souls, which drove him to the edge, putting him at the verge of arrancarship. All that he needed to do was find a way to become an arrancar. He knew his duty was to become the best, and he had intended upon doing so.

His memories flashed, and visions of those he killed resounded in his head as he stumbled upon a small black rock. He hadn't known what it was for, but he picked it up and began to caress it heavily. Smiling, he felt surges of power burst through his skin, and all forms of his hollowship began to slowly clear up. His body became black as night, and his skinpale. His body became smaller, and was now around 5"6. His build was highly toned, and his face was very humanoid. The only part of his body that ressembled his old life as a hollow was, were the marking across his body, tattoos running down his arms like dual revolving snakes[double helix] and the part of the mask that sat atop his head. His hole was where his heart was, and his sword had slimmed down to a small blade, similar to a shinigami's zanpakuto in the released state. His transformation finished, and his skin became very pale, his eyes black, except the iris which was yellow. He grinned and through his hands into the air while exclaiming, "I must continue to grow, and one day, I shall conquer this world, and destroy those who stand in my path!"


Roleplay Sample for Espada

Ceferino waited...anticipated this very moment. The moment his power would become complete in the transformation cycle. He slowly traversed, trudging closer to the black, sleek rock that lay ahead of him. He hadn't known what it was for, but he knew it held a great prize. He felt the surges and waves of reiatsu that it emitted from beneath it's exterior. He felt the evil that it hid, it bestowed from the hearts of the rest. Ceferino bent down and picked it up, his hands large, yet his fingers delicate. The tips of his claws barely touching the surface of the gem. He slowly rubbed his fingers together, attempting to feel even more power than before. His eyes grew wider, and he gritted his teeth as he did so. Licking his lips, tasting the stale air of hueco mundo. Moments later, his body began to crack. His shell began to erupt, and his skin began to shed. His body became as black as night, [hence the alias Nyte] and his form began to converge. His body grew slimmer and more toned. He wasn't as bulky as before. And soon, he looked more or less, human. Grinning at the world he threw his hands into the air and exclaimed his power. Looking around, grunting with excitement, he slowly compressed his energy into a blade of his own, due to the fact he had lost the massive one in the process. The black layer around his skin began to slowly form a katana like structure, and it dimmed out becoming gray, like existance, and opaque like eternity, as vague as the concept of God himself. An aura spun around his body while doing so, and the ground around him began to shake. He began compressing all the noticeable marks of his old life into this sword, creating his own, ''zanpakuto''. Nyte growled, moaned, and howled, scowling at the presence of evil that resided in him, and as the transformation was completed, he stood in the barren desert of Hueco Mundo, stark naked, wielding a blade of much terror. Grimacing at the scenary, he began to ambulate towards Las Noches, as he was drawn to other beings of power, where he would soon reside permanently.

woahhhh there Cafateria~

1: your not an espada yet. You need to apply then have Nara looka at your rp sample...or send him one.

2: some of your abilities are what we call inate abilities. You can only have 1 of them. Things like cero are known that you can use. I think there is a list of arrancar abilites that are just understood you have.

I would suggest the trans. as your inate ability. It is not over powered or god mod. The others here will have to be decided to be in your res abilities. You are alloud 3 abilities at first on your Res.

Also, reread your app and reword some things so as not to sound to over powered or godmod.

As far as your first app things...weight/age and bla....well weight was not needed...nor was height...but its ok you added them. Just next time try to follow the app posted here more closely. Any questions? Pm me and I will answer them.

For starters, Im led to beleive this was pre-made and copy-pasted from another site, and you had not read over the template, if only because you listed all these abilities, that A) Most sound like innate abilities of which you are allowed only one, and B) these abiities go into your ressurection. C) There is also a sticky that states all the arrancar abilities that ALL arrancar have. So saying cero is an ability only you can use in you magic techniques..is rather silly. Another thing I would point out is that your reiatsu defense is more or less arrancar hierro. All arrancar have it from Numeros to Espada. From this I am also lead to believe you may not have even read the forum rules and other important notices. Otherwise, you would have known that you would have to apply for Espada and prove yourself worthy of the position, rather than assuming you would be placed there.

Abilities [These are abilities that only he can use.]


Passive Physical Techniques

Enhanced Defense: Being an Adjuchas level hollow, Ceferino has been granted amazing defense. On top of that, he has many bones sticking out of his body. Any weapon that is not in a shikai form will have a very hard time piercing this level of defense, and even shikai’s will have it’s fair share of work, in trying to break this immense defense.

Transformation: Other than his release, he is able to revert back to his hollow phase, without any harm. He can assume such a stage to pose as an Adjuhcas, which generally causes people to underestimate him. He enjoys the advantage of being going easy on, but his strength, speed, and intelligence are much higher than they appear to be. Reverting back is just as easy, the only thing is, it takes reiatsu to initiate such a change. But do to his vast supply of such energy, it barely is noticeable. As he uses it more, he gets closer to mastering it, and the closer to mastery, the less reiatsu that is taken.

Physical Technique:


Bone Manipulation:This is one of Ceferino’s best abilities. With this he is able to manipulate the bones in his body, into many forms. He can harden the calcium, making his bones harder than steel. Since his physical structure closely resembles that of a human, this is quite useful when needed.(Since he is an Adjuchas, this replaces his third magical technique.)

Magical Techniques

Cero: A charged red blast fired from the hand or mouth of great power. Takes a post to charge, and the user cannot move while charging the Cero. This is his primary offensive technique.

Reiatsu Tendrils: With this technique Ceferino can manipulate the white and black tissues connecting his cloak to his skin. He can harden these, increases them in length, and do all sorts of fancy techniques. This is his way of trying to ensnare an enemy. These tendrils can become very dense and sharp. They are quite fast moving, and are often a primary technique of his. This is his fastest move, and are quite fast, although they are dodge able.

Passive Magical Techniques
Enhanced Reiatsu: This is a perfect compliment with his defense. It not only increases the rate of fire, accuracy, and strength of his ceroes, it makes his defense even stronger. It creates a small layer of reiatsu that adds on to Ceferino's already tough skin. This is the ability that has helped him out in a lot of tough situations.

Thus, Denied, until that entire quoted section is removed, and an innate ability is chosen.

Ah got it. And I believe I didn't explain it enough. In the application topic, it said something about doing an RP sample if you wanted to try for espada. The yes was simply a generic response saying, yes I'd like to try out for being an espada, not meant to assume such a position. I apologize for not explaining enough. And I've got it. Changed everything. And anything that sounds god modded, you can just ignore. It was just to fluff up the story, not meant for anything special. It was just an easy way to kill NPC's and stuff. They arent things I'd assume to have in battle, just to have flavor, that's all.

Ok, Approved

Just to say, due to the lack in cutting his hair, he looks more like this:



His Hollow Mask is still there, but blended in with his hair. And he still has two red stripes on his cheek.
