Stour {Finally complete}

[Stour]

Name: Kirinonai, Stour
Age: Appears 25, is nearing 600
Gender: Male
Personality:

Though generally withdrawn, Stour is a very brash person, whose beliefs are hard to change. He is not quick to anger, but his anger is fierce. It is hard to be held as a friend in his mind, as most are simply worthless in his eyes, even many who rank above him. The lack of respect is simple, but he knows how command works, and does his job.

He oftentimes will spend his days alone, training himself, or wandering the vast wastes, testing his strength. He finds enjoyment in solitude, and thinks those who fear it are weak. He believes that relying on someone else at all times is cowardice, but understands it is at times necessary, but will not pursue it unless the latter is true.

When he has difficulties focusing in the serene environments of the desert, he will often look for the exact opposite, and head to the forests, hoping for a louder, more chaotic environment in which to think.

He is quick to judge, and once he does so, is not quick to revoke his judgement. Pushing Stour to a point of anger would likely cause him to enter what could only be considered a rage, in which he subconsciously ignores physical anguish, until the point of being broken beyond capacity to do combat is reached.

As a note, Stour's voice is light and peaceful, almost soothing to hear.

Appearance:

Tall, pale, and thin; Stour stands at a decently proportional six foot something, and slightly over one hundred fifty pounds. His slender physique is generally misleading, as he still manages to move quickly and with power. His face is generally kept emotionless, as he has found when he lets on that he cares, people will play into him. His eyes are each a different color, an odd trait, especially since the colors aren't very related. One Amber eye, on his left, and one light purple eye. The amber eye seems to move more quickly than his purple eye, which is a trait I will actually explain later. His fingernails are a bit long, and are hard as nails, sharpened to a point at the ends, each nail holding a light violet hue.

He often will wear his long pale blue hair tied back behind his neck, and a tattoo of a biohazard symbol, visible there, as it is on his right shoulderblade, extending about 12" in circumference. The tattoo is pure black. His facial features are mostly sharp and thin, though his eyelashes are thick and lush, almost to an effeminate point. His robe is essentially normal, missing a bit of fabric in small chunks. He doesn't often change his robes even after battle, unless he released, in which case much of his robes will be missing, and changing would be necessary.

His body, though his clothing is torn, is oddly scar-free. This is another strange trait, but has to do with the power of his sword, more than just his natural development, which affected his nails and his eyes even in this state.

His hollow hole is located in his right palm, and is about the size of a half-dollar piece. His hollow mask remnant is a spine-covered arc that rises over his amber eye, curving down past it towards his jaw, where it meets his lips at the edge of his mouth, making it essentially a c-shape, with spines, or barbs, emerging at random intervals.

Arrancar Powers:

1) Stour's yellow eye, though moving in equal tune with his blue, sees faster, and has a larger radius of focus. This gives him the rather powerful advantage of being able to see more, or just see faster.

This power is far enhanced in his resureccion, being able to see even the slightest detail.

2) Corruption-
Though having been an arrancar for a long time, some of his natural hollow evolutions remained intact, the first being the aforementioned eye, and then this one, which he has nicknamed Corruption, it is the ability to warp space around his hollow hole in his palm. This ability is undeveloped, and probably never will become fully developed because of how broken that would be.

But, what it does is takes the matter directly before the hand, about the size of a basketball, if flattened, and puts it out behind his back, which makes an easy way to dodge.

As a way to balance this, as it can't be seen by normal eyes, he can only use it three times per battle and remain capable of fighting, any more and he drains himself of too large a sum of reiatsu.

Natural Arrancar Powers:

He is capable of Sonido, Cero, and Hierro.

His Hierro is tougher than normal, as a natural evolution of fighting as brutally as he does.

Stour's cero coloration is a deep gray color, giving off only a mild light. He fires this cero from his right palm, by his hollow hole.

Zampakuto's name:

Chaos

Un-released Zampakuto's Appearance:

Stour's sealed zanpakuto is an odd one, being essentially a chain, holding two small straight blades, one on each end. The chain does not shine, nor do the blades. They almost look unnaturally dull. The chain connecting them is roughly 6' long, and he often will wrap the chain around one arm, and use it to parry, keeping the blades in each hand for offense.

Each blade is roughly 10" long, and serrated roughly around each edge.

He 'sheaths' this blade as if it were a belt, the two blades falling at his sides.

Resurrección Release phrase::

Fade into reality, Chaos

Resurrección Appearance::

When Stour's form is released, his old battle-wounds' locations are made painfully obvious, his body becomes riddled with the scars of past battles, all of which pulse with a deep purple color. His features become less human and serene, his mask remnant fades away and is replaced by a full mask, covering his whole face, though the mask is plain white, leaving only holes for his eyes, which now pulsate between light and dark variations of their original colors. Where his mouth should be, there is an X that appears to be made of blood, streaking down from there. The eyeholes are lined with the same red coloration.

His body is covered with what appears to be shards of metal, which are in different spots every time. They are roughly 1cm long, and 4mm wide at the widest point, though jagged and curved more often than not. The shards of metal are actually flesh merging with his Hierro, giving them a physically powerful look. The shards are small, however, and can be broken off with a few hits, depending on the gap of power, of course. They are also randomly placed, so Stour has no control over where they appear when he releases.

His hands, arms, and legs are covered with metallic skin, which is his Hierro and skin merging to such an extent that it has taken on a full physical appearance, and mimics real skin. Each finger has become a blade of its own, extending a good 6" outward at maximum. He also gains a tail-like growth in this state, extending from where his biohazard tattoo once was, it extends out almost twice his height, to just above eleven feet out, with a sharp, long point at the end, with many razor-like shards so small they are invisible to the human eye. The tail itself is about twelve inches around, lined with the metallic skin, though here it retains a deep grey, almost black color.

As far as clothing is concerned, he wears a deep grey robe, matching his tail, and the robe is far more tattered than his normal robe is as well, which is saying something.

{Information for final ability appearance is with the ability itself as they correlate too strongly to be separate.}

Resurrección Abilities::

The finger blades Stour possesses in release are capable of being grown and shrunk, from the 6" maximum, down to almost nonexistence. Stour's tail is fully functional and capable of acting as a weapon, or extra limb.

When the metal chunks on his body are struck, damage is done just like anywhere else, as they are just visible Hierro. However, when Stour's last and most potent ability is active, striking any of the hundred chunks could prove dangerous.

If pierced with Stour's tail, a venom will enter the bloodstream, but it is not a deadly venom, nor an especially dangerous one. It actually causes the wounds the opponent takes to heal on the outside more quickly than they should, though the damage done to the inside is now, most likely, thought to be healed. This can be exponentially dangerous in a longer fight, though entirely meaningless in a short bout.

Final ability, as yet nameless:
Stour raises his right hand outward, the one where his hole remains, then quickly turns it so the palm faces his mask, and grabs his mask. The mask seems to start engulfing his arm. He then stabs through the hole itself with his tail. {Which would look totally friggen awesome.}

The mask begins to expand, almost like an ooze, across the surface of the tail and arm, forming a cocoon. The cocoon moves quickly, try to imagine this all happening in a matter of less than ten seconds.

As his body is fully engulfed, the cocoon immediately lifts away, to reveal Stour, looking exactly the same as before, even any damage is reitained.

But that moment is fleeting, as the opponent will soon notice the gigantic mask, matching the one he is wearing, floating behind him, right as it starts to crumble, the X on Stour's mask turns into a hideous, bloody grin. When the last piece of the giant mask falls away, Stour's back is pulsing, the pulsing ends when an extra two pairs of limbs emerge. One a pair of arms, just below and back from his normal arms, and each hand ending in similar claws as the normal arms.

The second pair of limbs is a bit stranger, being almost like bat wings, emerging from his back, opposite his collar bones. These wings are massive, he has a 16' wingspan fully released, but the wings themselves aren't really for flying, any arrancar or shinigami worth their weight can hover and move through air. The wings each end in sharp spikes, at the end of each 'arm' of the wing, is a sharp blade, or spike.

-----
Didn't really know where to put this, but when he enter's resureccion, Stour's voice becomes extremely deep and scratchy, and has very little tone difference displayed through emotions.

History/Background:

As a new hollow, Stour was just as mindless as any others, consumption his only desire. However, as he grew in strength, things became more obvious to him. Such as ways to abuse his several arms, six in total, and even appear as human to shinigami attempting to hunt him. This gave him obvious advantages as he developed.

Of course,a s time went on, he consumed many, many spirits, even a few unlucky shinigami, and innumerable amounts of hollow when he attained gillian status. Maintaining control in that state was almost too easy for him, especially towards the end.

As he emerged as an Adjuchas, his hunger was more massive than ever. He dedicated years to consuming others, in a wild attempt to gain more power. To find a way to break his mask and become legend. This, however, is when Aizen showed up. Showed up holding the key to immense power in his hand. And all Stour had to do was work as a soldier.

Stour of course, agreed, and that leaves off just slightly before this current timeline.

RP Sample:

Stour walked across the hard sand of the white desert, each footfall, as soft as he stepped, kicking up a cloud of dust behind him. It was peaceful, the full moon resting in the sky, and the silence leaving a ringing sensation in his ears. The only sound he could hear, was the swish of his robe as he stepped, and the pat of his feet touching dust as it rose and settled behind him.

This was a normal day, for Stour. Wasted walking the desert. Out here, everything was peaceful. Nothing was chaotic. Nobody else would find you. Unless they were trying.

Maybe that's what the arrancar was doing. Trying to find Stour. Whatever it was, he learned his mistake. The other arrancar blasted through the sand before Stour. Stour raised an eyebrow, and pulled his blade with his left hand, making it uncoil as a snake readying itself to strike. He settled standing still, staring at the newcomer, a blade in each hand, and the chain limp between his arms.

The new arrancar was wild looking, but the details were unimportant even to Stour, after he unsheathed his sword. His voice echoed, booming across the desert. "You, I've been watching you! It'll be excellent to kill you!"

Stour was calm, and didn't reply. His yellow eye seemed to dance in and out of focus, but he was simply studying the foe's stance. When the other moved to strike, Stour blasted a quick Sonido, and moved a few feet to his left, throwing his blade to where he used to be. The arrancar he was fighting got lucky, stopping himself a second before being carved in two by the sinister blade. The foe smiled at Stour, taunting him.

Stour, reacting quickly, had already pulled on the chain and flung the second blade forward. The arrancar had not expected that, and barely brought his blade up in time, getting it entwined in Stour's chain. Stour pulled toward himself, the arrancar being brought to him. He released the right hand blade, and raised his hand to the arrancar's face.

"Your foolishness has upset my calm. For that I cannot forgive you," he said, his calm tone still as peaceful as ever, but his eyes screamed rage. The other begged and pleaded for mercy, but it was to no avail, the unmistakable sound of a cero firing was heard all around, though the lack of light given off was somewhat upsetting.

And a foot fell softly on the sand, as Stour re-began his trek through these wastes. Such a large amount of time had been wasted on the ignorant fool. Stour was annoyed, but pushed the emotions down, they were unimportant right now. He would need them in a fight where he had a challenge. His other foot hit the ground more softly, kicking up the same small dust could he had been before, as he walked into the distance, under the glow of the full moon.
