Vizard - Nekoruru - [S-1]

[Rebel Raven]

Name: Nekoruru
Age: ?
Gender: Female
Personality:

She may be dimwitted, but you can't say she has a one track mind!
She has 3 tracks!... Mostly.
Track 1: Boobies
Track 2: Food
Track 3: Sleep

Is there a hidden track 4? Will you unlock it?!!!

She's a fun loving, almost childish person, somewhat kitten like in everything she does.

Due to her simple mind, she's apparently terrible with names only remembering her own. She gives others nicknames based, usually, off visible attributes. Heaven help her if there's lots of people that look the same!

She's an enigma as far as her personality goes, as she covers it up with her apparent idiocy.

As far as fighting goes, she doesn't dig it a whole lot, but she can be very dangerous if she needs to be.

Her personality can seem a little thin thanks to her simple mind, but there's no telling what sort of depth she might have.

Her speech is often dotted with feline noises.

Appearance:

Due to some unusual circumstances, this Vizard is constantly masked, and looks very hollow like. It's similar to Zaraki's, and Ichigo's permanent Shikai form in this way, and leaves what she looks like as a human a complete mystery.

Appearance wise she looks like a werecat clad in a hooded parka that veils her face in a shroud of darkness that only allows 2 red glowing eyes and a cheshire cat like smile to be seen.
From the base of the hood via 2 tailored holes, extend 2 long, thick braids of dark blonde hair bound with chord.
The Parka extends into large mittens with a cats paw like design on them attached to the sleeves. The front of the parka is held closed by an almost absurdly large toothed zipper with a tab that resembles a flattened cat's paw.

Said sleeves hold hidden cat claws that can pop out in a variety of shapes in sword like lengths (about 3 feet), but always in groups of three, and these sleeves have her arms seeming to reach down to mid shin. They sway as she moves her arms unless she wishes otherwise.

She wears red underwear under the parka held up by suspenders of the same color with cats paw like clasps. The suspenders are attached not to pants, but red, no frills panties, though they might be considered hot pants.

She wears unusual high heeled boots with brown cloth that matches her parka over the shins down to the ankles that overlap black leather with a design similar to what adorns her gloves, and suspenders.
The part of the boots that cover the feet appear mundane, however, like her mittens, there are blades hidden in them, but they're only half the length of her mitten claws.

She has a black tail capped with white that extends through the parka through a hole tailored for it.

Hollow Mask:

She has a simpler hollow mask than most that covers the face, and hides it from view. Only 2 glowing pinpoint eyes, and a large white smile of sharp teeth can be seen in the dark void that's under the hood.

Hollow Powers:

Cero: Like many Hollows she has access to a cero. Her coloration is a simple magenta that glows brightly. These Ceros can be fired readily from her claws, or her mouth, or eyes, but despite the versatile firing locations, they're simple Cero. The only difference is when she fires them from her eyes, in which they come in a pair.

Bala: She has access to Bala which has the same coloration as her Cero.

Balance out regeneration with more explanation.

Rapid Regeneration: She doesn't instantly heal from every wound, but she is difficult to keep injured if left alone for a few minutes, and makes her notoriously hard to kill. Lost limbs can be regenerated in minutes, deep wounds in less time. Internal organs can be repaired as well in a few minutes time. It's by no means a way for her to keep fighting forever as a minute is a long time in an intense fight.

What ever doesn't kill her lets her healing rate get her back to 100 percent eventually. This ability doesn't do anything to speed her evolution into a stronger combatant.

Rapidly inflicted, or large wounds can overwhelm her healing rate, and force her to retreat in favor of living to do her thing another day.

Inner Hollow:

Her's is a simple, but powerful(?) being named Nekoruru, and one of the few hollows that aren't excessively violent. This is partly due to being female, and simple minded.

She craves three things. Food, boobies, and Naps. Not necessarily in that order in terms of importance.
In her long symbiotic relationship with her host she's become rather docile, and playful.

Appearance wise she looks like a werecat clad in a hooded parka that veils her face in a shroud of darkness that only allows 2 red glowing eyes and a cheshire cat like smile to be seen.

From the base of the hood via 2 tailored holes, extend 2 long, thick braids of dark blonde hair bound with chord.
The Parka extends into large mittens with a cats paw like design on them attached to the sleeves. The front of the parka is held closed by an almost absurdly large toothed zipper with a tab that resembles a flattened cat's paw.

Said sleeves hold hidden cat claws that can pop out in a variety of shapes in sword like lengths (about 3 feet), but always in groups of three, and these sleeves have her arms seeming to reach down to mid shin. They sway as she moves her arms unless she wishes otherwise.

She wears red underwear under the parka held up by suspenders of the same color with cats paw like clasps. These shorts leave her tanned legs bared.

She wears unusual high heeled boots with brown cloth that matches her parka over the shins down to the ankles that overlap black leather with a design similar to what adorns her gloves, and suspenders.
The part of the boots that cover the feet appear mundane, however, like her mittens, there are blades hidden in them, but they're only half the length of her mitten claws.

She has a black tail capped with white that extends through the parka through a hole tailored for it.

Due to unusual turn of events she's completely possessed the body of her host making the host appear more hollow than human.

Zampakuto's name:

Nekohikkakibyou (Cat Scratch Fever)

Zampakuto Spirit:

Her Zanpakuto is a lovely blue woman with blue hair in a bob cut hair style. She stands some 5'7"
She's clad in Chinese burial attire though somewhat modified with a large circle of cloth removed over the swell of the breasts, and extra long sleeves that resemble the inner Hollow's which are tipped with claws.

Her top is a red tunic with a yellow trim, and made similarly to a Chinese qipao. The sleeves are blue, and they match the pants which are in a lantern style.
She wears red slippers similar to Soifon.

On top of her head is a Chinese style circular hat with a yellow border, and yellow pompom on top.

She's a relatively cheerful person despite looking like a Chinese vampire, and acts as sort of the angel on Nekoruru's shoulder which keeps her from doing overtly evil things, but her life is quieter now a Nekoruru gave up on the whole trying to be evil thing.
She does indulge in some of the same recreations as Nekoruru, and humors Nekoruru with her own impressive DD rack.

Colors and outfit

Build

Un-released Zampakuto's Appearance:

These claws are worn on the forearms and extend to the back hand offering protection there. Individually, the claws each holds 3 blades that are 24 inches long, and curved for optimum slashing ability.

The claws, when not in use, retract back over the forearms and there, they offer increased protection for the arms, but do not protect the backs of the hands well when pulled back.

These claws are hidden by large mitt like sleeves that give the further appearance of cat's paws.

A somewhat embarrassing side affect of these claws, one that can't be explained, is that every time the name is said, the guitar riff of the chorus to this song plays from a displaced source
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW8S58CYQqs

Frighteningly, this has happened long before the creation of the electric guitar.
(Yes, this is a Ted Nugent joke.)

Shikai Release phrase::

"Nekohikkakibyou" followed by a guitar riff from an unknown source.

Shikai Appearance::

Nekohikkakibyou: The claws don't change in any appreciable way until they're in use. They bear a sometimes comical ability to pop out in various appearances, and shapes, but this doesn't really change how the claws are used.

Shikai Abilities::

Cat Scratch Fever: Her claws have a full time power on them that allows her to create large red, and yellow energy blades that appear when she makes an attack. These act as extensions to her claws, and adds more damage to the target. The blades only appear for a second once contact is made, and they're very much solid.

Slashy Slashy!: The claws are waved at, and slashed at a target which sends a series of crescent shaped cutting energy blades at what ever her slashes are aimed at.

Kitty Kick: Reiatsu is channeled to the legs and the following kicks, up to 5, are augmented in speed, and strength as well as an energy blade that runs from the knee to the toe.

KABOOM!: She pounces at her target, and slashes down at the target. If it connects, a gigantic smoke blast appears instantly around her, and her target and Nekoruru begins a high speed assault with the smoke as cover.
Once her attacks are finished, the smoke vanishes just as quickly as it appeared, which is near instant.

Kitty Licks: A byproduct of the original owner's healing Shikai, Nekoruru can literally lick a wound away, be it her own, or someone else's, though this takes considerable time. A few licks to clean, and cease bleeding, a few more to close the wound. At least a few posts for the big wounds. This maneuver is performed not by virtue of contact, but by the power her tongue radiates.
It's not practical for use in a fight.

Alternatively, she can open her mouth, and belch out a healing beam that works like her tongue, but is less likely to leave a bad taste in the mouth. It has a 60ft range, and a 7ft diameter, and is faster to heal than the tongue method, but large wounds will still take a few posts, and she can't use this ability on herself in beam form.

The beam version resembles a red and black Cero in nature, and it can easily be mistaken for an attack.

Bankai Description:

Nekohikkakibyou still doesn't change visually, but retains it's Shikai ability to extend various claw designs.
However, her boots gain a set of smaller retractable claws that add to her lethality in combat.

Bankai Abilities:

She retains access to her Shikai Abilities, but they all are proportionately stronger as far as the difference between a Bankai, and a Shikai.

Super Sonic purr: She hunkers down, and usually gets on all fours, then begins to purr.
While it can seem harmless, she can send out a destructive, pulsating wave of sound, or direct it at a target in a dense beam that's somewhat more destructive than a Cero, and can be sustained.
Regardless of method of use it, literally, travels at the speed of sound, thus it's faster than a balla, and about as fast as Sonido/Flash Step, and can be difficult to see.

While it has considerable versatility in it's ability to intercept oncoming foes, blow back foes at close range, and cause great damage in general, it has several limitations.
1: If she literally has nothing to purr about, then, well, she can't use it well. It has some emotional attachment.
2: Even when she can use it, she can't sustain it for more than a few seconds at a time, nor can she repeatedly use it.

Meow Pow!: When this is in play, she gains a minute of heightened physical ability all around.
She usually uses this to try and smash people into things, or maul them with her claws.
Further, her muscle elasticity goes up, and she becomes rubbery in nature and grants her a lot more bounce in her step.
Her body literally becomes more rubbery, and this can deflect some kinetic energy of attacks away from her, or even bounce an attack back at the opponent.
The rubbery state dampens damage taken, especially blunt damage, but she still takes damage from the assaults.

This is a maneuver that can't be done often at all as it taxes her body immensely, and can cause damage if overused.

Catnip: This odd power gets a person high/intoxicated and it interferes with their ability, or desire to fight.
It's produced in an invisible cloud that surrounds her for several minutes, or until she dispels it.
Its use during high speed can fill 100 cubic feet with this mysterious inhalant.

If inhaled, it usually generates a tiredness of the mind, and body, mellows the mind, expands thought processes to varying degrees, causes a raise in appetite, and at full potency, can end a fight with one side affect or another.

It has a side affect of intoxicating Nekoruru as well, to varying extents, and it can affect allies as well.
Further wind can blow it away, but odds are it'll be inhaled before it's detected.

History/Background:

The scene is a PoV that is focused on a fancy, bound book, and that book opens, and calligraphic script is seen on the first page, and a woman's voice reads the words in a motherly story teller way,

"The history of Nekoruru doesn't begin the way you'd expect... or maybe it does? Either way...

The Story begins with a young, promising shinigami woman some 1,000 years ago.
She served, back then, in Squad 4, and served well. She balanced healing,"
An illustration of a lovely Shinigami woman with short, blue hair is seen using healing Kido on a wounded Shinigami,
"and melee quite well."
An image of the Shinigami in an action shot slashing a hollow with a katana is seen.

"Right from the start, she showed such great promise, and potential that she may very well have become a captain!" the woman's voice said with surprise as if she were reading to a child, and showed illustrations of the cute young Shinigami woman using a Shikai form that looked like a Cestus.

"She made friendships a plenty," A scene of her drinking cheerfully with her squad with her cup in the air with a cheer is seen, "And had a heart of gold that made her the envy of many!"

"She served in many capacities when she wasn't fighting, or healing," the page turns and shows an illustration of her running reports, serving tea, and even attending the Shinigami women's association, "And she certainly brightened up the days of all she met! She truly was one of the ideal Shinigami!"

The page turned, but the scenes darkened, "But all was not well. Her rising star status came with a reason... She was a budding Vizard and that certainly helped," the scene showed the pretty shinigami woman with a mask on her face and a surprised expression.

"She withdrew from her comrades, and her squad, and even her work as she worried about what would happen if her new secret was made known," the scene showed the young Shinigami in the dark in a spotlight.

"Depressed thoroughly, she seemed to change overnight, and her squad only worried, as did her friends," the next page showed an image illustrating this.

"But, her fears were not as bad as she expected! For you see, the hollow inside her wasn't a big, nasty, mean hollow that wanted to slaughter! No! It was a hollow more interested in other things!" Images of the inner hollow dreaming of meat buns, beds, and babes.

"Oh, it delighted the golden hearted Shinigami to no end that she had made a new friend! Even if that friend was a hollow!" There was an illustration of the Shinigami hugging the neko looking Hollow.

"They got along splendidly, even though they had to keep this secret." There was an illustration that showed of this. Her playing with her Neko friend, training her Vizard strength, and a scene that depicted the Shinigami apparently walking around like any normal shinigami.

"They trained, and they got stronger because of the friendship, and her powers were magnified amazingly." the next image showed her using aa Bankai that looked like a large, heavily bladed claw.

"The golden hearted girl, however, would not use this strength to advance as captain, or Vice captain. She knew it was wrong when she had help as she did, and to everyone's surprise, she stayed as a middle seated Shinigami, and resumed being a cheerful, friendly person, perhaps even more so!" An illustration of her leading drinking songs, and dancing is shown. It's a bright, vibrant scene.

"But all would not, could not, stay as idealistic..." the next illustration was nothing but a black page...

"Then there was a mission where her squad, and others were sent in as a group," The image shows a group of Shinigami leaping into action dramatically against a large, powerful hollow.

"The mission went terribly..." the narrator's voice saddened, and it showed the Hollow slaughtering, and mauling wildly, and rampantly.

"The Shinigami couldn't stand by, and watch, and she revealed her Vizard nature!" the illustration showed her donning her mask as people stared in absolute fear.
"Her allies were frightened of her! They nearly attacked! But she raised her weapon, and yelled for them to get away! To Run while she held off the hollow!"

"The two battled fiercely!" and the illustration showed this in a well done battle scene, "But even with her new powers, and the help of her friends," the next image showed the Zanpakuto's spirit, and the inner Hollow helping the Shinigami symbolically.

"She could not win..." The next image showed the Shinigami laying, broken, and crying at her weakness, but she was glad her friends got away... well, almost all of them...
"She pleaded to the gods, and to her Zanpakuto Spirit to take care of her inner hollow with tear soaked words, that should she die, her inner hollow and Zanpakuto spirit be saved."

"Someone heard her... before her life gave out, she gave her power to it, and as her body faded it changed, a new one appeared... in the shape of her inner hollow!" A picture of her inner hollow curled up was shown.

"It wasn't a perfect transition, however... the nature of the Zanpakuto changed, and the spirit turned dead in appearance, and perhaps even died and was brought back..."the next scene illustrated the once vibrant zanpakuto spirit clutching her chest, then turning blue, then metamorphosing to look more like the hollow than the shinigami.

"But the Spirit was not mad. She wanted so much to do as her partner wanted, and she became the inner Hollow's Zanpakuto as the hollow was allowed to completely take over the body."

"The hollow's natural claws were augmented by the new Zanpakuto, and became new, and shiny, but the claws would not be used this day as the hollow of gigantic strength sill loomed, and the new Vizard had to leave as the stronger Shinigami arrived to fight the monstrous being.

"The new Vizard ran, and fled to the mortal world where she hid, and laid low. She also trained! She knew she needed to be stronger if she were to avoid the fate her friend met!" There were many illustrations of this lifestyle.

"The new Vizard named herself, Nekoruru, and she set about her life!" The narrator finished, and the last illustration showed Nekoruru and her Zanpakuto spirit headed off into the sunset.

Another voice suddenly wailed in sadness, and the book shook.

The Scene expanded to show Nekoruru hugging her Zanpakuto spirit, crying whole heartedly.

"BWEEEEHHH!! I MISS MY FRIEND!!" she wailed, and was comforted, "We both do, Nekoruru... We both do..." Nekohikkakibyou said as she hugged her partner, and petted her.

RP Sample:

"KYAAAAAAAH!!!" a woman screams in the night just as a Hollow's spiritual pressure vanishes, and another one is felt in it's location.... wait it's not a hollows...

A shinigami speeds to the location, and spots a tailed figure on a woman's spirit, with her body pined to the ground.

His eyes go wide, and he reaches for his sword, but he pauses as the woman giggles!

"S-Stop! That tickles!!!" she squeals as the feral figure on her person licks her face, and just has a big, stupid grin of sharp teeth all the while like some big giant pet.

"What's going on here?!!" the shinigami shouts out!

The feral figure perks, then looks at the shinigami, then sticks her tongue out at him, "Go away! Nekoruru was here first!" she says in a harsh voice then starts to cuddle the bejeezus out of the spirit with a loud purr.
"Mmm! Nyaaaan!" the feral woman says gleefully.

The shinigami draws his sword, then charges in to take a swipe at the cat woman, but intentionally misses in an attempt to shoo the cat woman that identified herself as Nekoruru as if she were a stray cat, and it worked.

Nekoruru bolted off into the night on all fours.

The Shinigami helped the spirit off the ground, and looked at her, "What happened?"

The woman wiped some slobber off her face, "Some monster attacked me, and that cat woman saved me... then licked away my wounds..." she said not quite sure of why any of this happened.

The Shinigami put on a puzzled look, "Strange..."
