Skill Level: Swordsmanship: Advanced

Skill Level: Hand-to-hand: Intermediate
History/Background:
Age: 290 (appears 21)
Gender: Male
Personality:
Features was a naturally very talkative person before he discovered his inner hollow but since he became aware of it he has found himself talking more and more like his hollow self. Because of this he tries to talk as little as possible when not in battle.Appearance:
Outside of battle he is calm, collected, polite and well mannered. He is has had little experience with social encounters since 'The Blank' and this leads to many embaressing situations.
In battle he has the incredibly annoying trait of copying his opponent's personality exactly before using it to generally piss them off.
Features is a man of average height and a strong build. His skin is fair in colour and smooth in texture. His hair is long, untamed and completely white. His eyes are a light, powder, blue.Hollow Mask:
But his main 'feature' is his face. From his cheek bone down to his jawline the flesh is missing and his bones are exposed. The line between where the skull and the remaining flesh is held together by a weak, perminent, kido spell that ensures his remaining face doesn't rot from the exposure to the air.
Because of his disfigurment he wears a gigai at all times. The gigai is exactly the same as Features' spirit form but the face is whole and he usually wears jeans and a t-shirt.
Features' hollow mask looks like the mask of the phantom of the opera except that where there would normally be exposed face at the bottom of the mask there are spikes that extend down from the lip of the mask to rib his jawline.Hollow Powers:
Bala - Features' bala is a light blue attack. He has also mastered the use of multiple bala (using both fists at the same time).Inner Hollow:
Garganta (Forgotten) - Features is able to use a Garganta but it only has one destination, the heart of the Menos Forest. This move has been forgotten during 'The Blank'.
Forgotten name : ArimZampakuto's name:
New Name : Jaws
Features' inner hollow appears to be a thirteen year old korean girl named, "Jaws". Jaws is a typical thirteen year old girl, giggly and bubbly at times but completely serious about nothing at other times. The only thing to mark her as a hollow and not a normal teenager is her left forearm is covered in hollow bone and ends in a single point, like a sword's edge.
(Forgotten - Arim)
Before 'The Blank', Jaws was actually called Arim and appeared to be an older woman (around 20) from American decent. Her skin is rosy and healthy everywhere except her left arm, which is now entirely a blade of hollow bone. Arim is a lot less serious than Jaws and she often flirts with Samael and teases him when he still believes himself to be Features. Unlike other inner hollows, Arim protects Features because she cares for him rather than for self-preservation.
AzraelZampakuto Spirit:
The spirit, Azrael, appears to be a man the same age as Features. He is of British decent (apparently) and is usually found wearing a long, white, cloak with a hood. He is a kind person and appears to delight in seeing both Features and Arim happy.Un-released Zampakuto's Appearance:
Azrael's world is a small, book-filled, study. He is usually found sitting behind a solid oak desk with a book in hand and Jaws asleep on the floor behind him.
(Forgotten)
Azrael's white cloak is not a part of the spirit itself because it is the physical form that Samael's memories took when he gave them to the spirit. However, Azrael is reluctant to take off the cloak as it will reveal his true form as well as giving Samael his memories back.
His true form is of a black skinned, 8 foot tall, six armed, warrior. In each of his six arms he hold an exact copy of the sealed zanpakuto.
The un-released form of Azrael is a simple katana with a red and silver hilt.Shikai Release phrase::
Cut short their lives, Azrael!Shikai Appearance::
The hilt grows slightly longer and another guard forms on the opposite end of the first blade. A second blade than forms so that Azrael appears to be simply two katana's attached to each other, end-on-end.Shikai Abilities::
"Burning Spear!" - One end of the weapon is covered in blue flames and the tip morphs into a rounded point. The weapon is then thrown and the back-end blade propells it forwards at great speed using the same blue flames.Bankai Description:
(Forgotten)
"I sacrifice." - Features holds Azrael up to his chest and mutters the incantation. Azrael glows and disappears from his hands. The two blades reappear, separately, attached to his forearms. The blades are attached to the skin of his arms so the only way to stop using this technique is to tear them out of his arms.
(Forgotten)Bankai Abilities:
Azrael shrinks back down to its sealed state. Features lines the hilt up with the underside of his right wrist and black tendrils emerge from the hilt. The tendrils wrap themselves all the way up the length of Features' right arm so that the blade is attached to his arm.
Features is unable to use his Bankai as it relies upon his inner hollow and zanpakuto spirit taking their real forms. Samael is able to use Bankai for this reason.
His Bankai can only be used for a limited amount of time (about three posts?) before he collapses from the strain and loses his memories again.
Attacks made with the blade can be charged so that they release fire when they move. The two examples are a fireball emerging from the tip when Features stabs and a wave of fire that falls from the blade during a slash. The fire based attacks will grow progressively weaker until his bankai wears out again.Skill Level: Kidou: Intermediate
In addition to the fire based attacks, the standard actions with the right arm are now twice as fast and three times more powerful that before.

History/Background:
Samael was born as the heir to a family of minor nobles in Soul Society. He was happy with his family and was engaged to be married to the daughter of a simple armourer, a married made for love rather than social status. He'd been through the Shinigami Academy and was praised as an excellant Shinigami. When offered a seat in the 5th division he politely declined.RP Sample:
His inner hollow made itself known on his wedding night when his drunken uncle (a power hungry man) killed his newly wedded wife. With unheard of savagery, his inner hollow took control and slaughtered the uncle before brutally mutilating the corpse and pinning it to a wall with the knife he'd used to commit the murder.
The true nature of the incident was kept a secret as the ceremony had been a small, private, function. The witnesses for the marriage ran when the murder was commited so no one saw his inner hollow take control. They did, however, find him weeping over his dead wife underneath the mutilated corpse of his uncle. It was assumed that he'd killed his uncle as a shinigami rather than a monster. The incident was covered up and Samael threw himself into his work as a Shinigami.
During a mission to kill a group of hollow a stray claw attack took the flesh from his left cheek and left only bone, Samael became so enraged with the hollow that he attacked it just as it was retreating back through a Garganta. He was trapped in the Menos Forest for fifty years and during that time he mastered his inner hollow and learnt Bankai.
When he finally learnt how to construct a Garganta to the human world he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to function as a human after spending so many years as a simple killer. After much thought he reached an agreement with Azrael and Arim. He gave them each some of his most painful and murderous memories and they sealed them away by condensing themselves into the cloaked Azrael and Jaws.
When Features staggered through the Garganta he was sure of only a few things, having lost a huge chunk of his memories and powers. The two things he remembered clearly though was that he was a vizard and that he was never to leave his gigai unless attacked.
Looking around the small room, Features scowled at the musty smell of old books. He was sat in the simple wooden chair across the desk from Azrael. The spirit was engrossed in a book it seemed. He sighed and looked over the desk to see Jaws lightly dozing on the floor behind the Zanpakuto spirit. Features sighed even louder,
"For god's sake! Why did you bring me here?!" he yelled out finally, too irritated to care that they were only across the desk from him. Azrael looked up from his book,
"If you don't know then our business here is concluded." he said with a touch of sadness. Features closed his eyes to prevent himself from shouting out in anger again. He was about to give the British Zanpakuto a piece of his mind when Jaws suddenly woke up.
"Oh my god!" she cried in panic. Both Azrael and Features looked at the teenage hollow with concern,
"What's wrong?" they asked in unison. The young girl held up her right hand and showed them her index finger,
"I broke a nail in my sleep!" she declared before promptly bursting into tears. Azrael went along with her game and pulled the young hollow into a fatherly hug,
"Awww... there, there little one. It'll grow back." he assured her. Features simply gawked,
"That's it?!" he shouted in exasperated confusion. Jaws walked round the desk to Features and raised her arms,
"Yes! Aren't you going to give me a hug?" she asked, puppy dog eyes forming. Features shook his head,
"But this makes no sense! You're a hollow! You regenerate for god's sake! And you..." he trailed off as the puppy dog eyes reached maximum power. He slapped his hand to his face and groaned, "Good god... fine."
The thirteen year old inner hollow giggled and threw herself onto Features in a full body hug. Features winced as Jaws' left 'arm' grazed his ribs.
"Hey... watch what you're doing with your left arm Jaws! That thing is more dangerous than your cero!" he scolded her gently. Jaws' eyes teared up,
"Don't insult my cero you insensitive jerk!"
"Ow! Left arm again!"
