THE QUINCY APPLICATION Name: Gwynevere Sunborne Age: While she may look to be a woman into her mid to late thirties, Gwynevere is 2,074 years old. Sex: Female Personality: Despite her strict upbringing as quincy nobility, Gwynevere is a gentle soul towards her people and other humans. She tolerates Shinigami, much more than others of her race. Only Hollows and Arrancar hold no place for her patience. Like most Quincy, she despises the Hollows and Arrancar. She sees them as savage animals that are a blight on the spiritual realm, unworthy of getting the time of day, their fatal taint to her race not helping her thought of them. Friends of Gwynevere will find that she is a very caring and motherly individual, always willing to share and give guidance. She'd even go as far as to nurse a sick ally back to health. Those who are her enemies will find themselves not welcome within Silbern, for she will make known her disapproval of certain individuals that earn her ire. Humans and even fellow Quincy are not exempt from earning her distrust. CHARACTER APPEARANCE Height: Gwynevere stands to be 6 feet and 4 inches tall. Weight: She weighs an even 145 pounds. Physical Traits:
FIGHTING STYLE General Fighting Style: Gwynevere, like a lot of Quincy, favors ranged fighting with her bow. She is a long ranged tactical fighter, able to make each shot of hers count towards turning and/or keeping a fight in her favor. She isn’t overly aggressive, and when able will wear her target down until she can land a proper finishing blow. She does not take risks that have a low change of paying off in her favor. When facing Arrancar/Hollows, she will always go for the kill. When training or fighting a human, quincy or shinigami, she will give them a chance to surrender in most cases. Strengths: Range, Spirit Energy, Durability, Spirit Pressure Weaknesses: Strength, Durability, Hand-to-Hand WEAPONS & ABILITIES Quincy Bow:
Quincy Powers: Along with her given racial abilities ( Reiryoku Absorption, Reiryoku Manipulation, Hirenkyaku, Licht Regen, Ransōtengai, Silver Tube Abilities, Blut Vene), Gwynevere has a few powers available to her which she created and honed over her long life. Ability Name: Minor Healing Description: As strong as a level 20 Bakudou, this ability heals Gwynevere or a chosen target of some minor wounds and is enough to stop the bleeding of major wounds. Does not restore severed limbs or damaged organs. Ability Name: Magic Barrier Description: This gives Gwynevere protection against abilities as strong as a level 40 Hadou and below for 3 posts, and has a 1 post cooldown upon ending. The barrier is visible as a thin white layer of Spiritual Particles, swirling around her at a high velocity. Ability Name: Force of the Gods Description: From her hand Gwynevere releases a completely unseen force of pressurized air that acts exactly like Hadou number 1, Sho. It is as strong as a Bala, just as fast and can be fired off just as rapidly. Ability Name: Arrows of the Greatbow Description: With her bow, the size of Gwynevere’s arrows are of greater size, and with that packs a much stronger force. Her arrows are twice as powerful as a normal quincy arrow and can be fired just as rapidly in Licht Regen. Quincy Items: Quincy Cross, 5 Seele Schneider, 5 Filled Silver Tubes QUINCY FINAL FORM/LETZT STIL New Quincy Powers: She keeps her racial base abilities (gains Letzt Stil techniques). Ability Name: God’s Lightning Spear Description: Gwynevere focuses her spiritual energy into lightning in the form of a large spear. She then hurls the large spear, the projectile released with the speed of a Cero to hit its target with the strength equal to a level 65 Hadou. This has a 2 post cooldown. Ability Name: God’s Eye Description: This ability forms a small orb that looks like a softball sized eye in Gwynevere’s hand. The eye looks to be made of stone with a dark red feline’s iris and no pupil. She throws the eye while focusing on a target’s Spirit Energy, and the eye moves to be one foot above the target if possible. Otherwise, it will be whatever distance is required to be above them. It lasts for 2 posts or until broken within 100 meters of Gwynevere, at which point it has a 2 post cooldown. Ability Name: Great Heal Description: Like her earlier ability, this heals Gwynevere or a target. This ability is stronger, healing all minor wounds and sealing heavy wounds. This is as strong as a level 60 Bakudou, and has a 2 post cooldown. It is unable to regenerate limbs but can heal most organs (minus the Brain and Heart) that have been damaged. New Unique Powers: Arrow Burst: Gwynevere fires off one of her large spear-like arrows at her target. Three quarters of the way before making contact the arrow would divide and split into twenty normal-sized Quincy arrows, which would all be aiming to make the target into a pincushion. Basically, a scatter-shot. Boosts: 3x Boosts to Speed, Spiritual Pressure and Stamina VOLLSTANDIG New Quincy Powers: She gains racial abilities limited to this release in place of the Letzt Stil release. Ability Name: God’s Magic Barrier Description: This ability acts much like her other barrier, covering her in a layer of white Spiritual Particles. This variant is stronger though, capable of reflecting attacks that are equal to a level 70 Hadou in strength. It lasts for 3 posts, and has a 4 post cooldown. Ability Name: Bountiful Sunlight Description: The ultimate stage of her healing, this ability heals her and anyone within a 10 foot radius that is an ally of any and all wounds, except for the brain and heart. This is as powerful as a level 80 Bakudou, and has a 3 post cooldown. Ability Name: God’s Sunlight Spear Description: The pinnacle of her Lightning Spear, Gwynevere focuses the electrical energy even more and with a larger quantity. It acts just as the other ability, though is as powerful as a level 89 Hadou and has a 4 post cooldown. Ability Name: Divine Pillars of God’s Light Description: She sends blue spiritual energy to 6 locations around her through the ground. The energy pools up to form circles that once formed blast up to create destructive pillars of energy. Each one can be fired separately or all at once, and each is as strong as a level 70 Hadou. This will consume most of her Spirit Energy, and can only be used once per thread. Once used Gwynevere is forced out of Vollstandig. New Unique Powers: Splintered Shot: When using this ability Gwynevere cannot use Arrow Burst. She shoots a large arrow that, as it is shot, releases a large barrage of smaller arrows out to the side as it passes. The smaller arrows are half as strong as the average quincy arrow, but are numerous. Boosts: 4x Boosts to Speed, Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Pressure & Stamina BACK-DROP Background: Infancy/Toddler Gwynevere, like any other human or natural-born soul, was birthed quite normally. Unlike most however, she was born into a very high status: daughter to Gwyn, the reigning King of the Quincy for that time. His epithet was C, “the Cinder”. As such as an infant she received care from only the best. Of course, like with anyone born to nobility she rarely seen her parents. Her mother had given birth to a younger brother nine months later, but for reasons she doesn't know to this day her mother was exiled, all memory and trace of her erased. Gwynevere knows she has a mother, everyone does, but she will never get the chance to know of her. She was raised by the staff operating within Silbern, her favorite days being when one of the many chefs would look after her in the kitchens. Sometimes she'd whine until they gave her a sweet candy to suckle, and then go silent like nothing was wrong. She knows that it was around her second birthday that her older brother was cast out the same as her mother. So around the age of three she was quite close with her little brother Gwyndolin. Her remaining family other than their father, she was afraid of him being cast out too. Childhood It was around the age of five that Gwynevere started her training on the Quincy techniques. Every day, starting at 6 A.M. sharp she was woken up to practice materializing her bow. Once that was achieved after five months, they started to teach her proper reishi manipulation. This took a little less time, since such a technique was required innately to materialize a bow. Only through her training did she ever see her father’s approval. When she performed correctly is when she'd see him smile genuinely with pride. She didn't like training, but if it kept him happy she would do her best. And so she did, learning and practicing every day each new technique taught to her. Of course when she wasn't training, she would head to the kitchens and snack on something sweet. The chefs of the kitchens were always kind towards her, and made sure there was always something sweet available. For eleven years this was her life, training and kindly conversing with the castle staff. On occasion she would meet one of the legendary Sternritter, but it was never for long and every time thought she wasn't in the presence of a Quincy, but instead like she was meeting some blood-thirsty fighter. Many times she wondered why such people were given such a noble position: shouldn't it be people who were just and good that get positions such as that? These people seemed... too hungry for battle. For bloodshed. Teenage Years Upon turning sixteen, Gwynevere was to undertake her ritual to obtain her epithet. She was brought before her father, Lord Gwyn, for it to be unlocked by him. She doesn't remember ever seeing him so happy, it was the day he was unlocking his daughter's true fighting potential. She knelt down before her king, as was instructed by her mentors. Her father stood up from his throne and walked down towards her, just close enough to reach out. He places his heavy, slightly wrinkled palm on her head for a few moments before commanding her to rise. As she did, he pronounced her epithet: M, “the Miraculous”. She gives him a dutiful bow, and leaves to tell her little brother the great news. He was probably in his room, studying their history just as she did. It was her little brother, so she did not think to knock. She opens the door to walk in when some of the Sternritter burst out, running and scattering. “What could they be...” And then she noticed. Gwyndolin was on the ground, his clothes torn and he was clearly defiled, but the worst was the Quincy arrow sticking out of his chest. She lifts her brother up and rushes to get him treatment, even using one of her epithet abilities to try and keep him alive long enough. She doesn't remember how long it took, but she would go down every night to sing her brother to sleep. Sometimes she would be just about to leave to get some rest herself when he'd wake up screaming, trying to tear his own skin off. Those were nights that wouldn't see her with much rest, and as such it took a toll on her training. This displeased her father, of course. He had threatened on multiple occasions to cast out Gwyndolin just like he did her mother and older brother, but was resisted by her retort of leaving with him should he try it. Adulthood Because of her slowed progress in training, it isn't until she is 22 that she begins training for Letzt Stil. This lasts for a couple months, being training that takes time as much as effort. Once the training is complete, she undergoes the process of removing the glove. This of course makes her unable to use her powers, so her mentors start right away with the process of restoring her powers, and granting her access to using Letzt Stil without the glove’s aid. This goes smoothly, and in time to head to the throne room and watch as her little brother receive his epithet. He does the same as she did all that time ago, though she was younger when it happened. And their father, he did not seem as proud of his son. It took him so much longer than his daughter to be ready. His epithet given was D, “the Darkmoon”. She was so proud of her little brother, and that night celebrated with him down at the kitchens by eating a small cake made just for him, a favor asked of them by Gwynevere. War It is unclear when they went to war with the Shinigami and for what reason, but all she knows is that Gwyn was the one who started it. It was something he and his Sternritter had been planning for years. Resources gathered, intel shared and collected on their target, and they felt ready. Even she and Gwyndolin were expected to fight, the king thinking that every Quincy would be needed to ensure victory. And so they marched alongside their father to an unknown fate. When they entered the Seireitei, the siblings were shocked by the carnage. Quincies and Shinigami were both forming piled of dead bodies, neither side letting up. The Shinigami had higher numbers, however, and a greater amount of soldiers with many more years experience fighting. The Quincies were losing. “Fight to the last, for your king!” called Gwyn, as the king himself had yet to join the fighting. Anyone who had tried fleeing to the portal back to Silbern he cut down with his flaming sword. It was when the Shinigami Captain Commander took to fighting that Gwyn took part. And when Gwynevere took her shot at his back. -This part will be edited as site history is decided.- With her father dead she called a retreat, many rushing back to Silbern. All of the Sternritter lay dead, and even her younger brother was slain. She broke down upon crossing back to Silbern and closing the portal behind her, having lost what was left of her blood family to a war they had no right starting. The Shinigami would no doubt keep this grudge for hundreds of years. And with no leader, many of the Quincy survivors scatter into the World of the Living. She remained in Silbern, with the castle staff. They treated her well, thanking her for saving their race from being scrubbed from history. However, she knew things wouldn’t always stay quiet. The Quincy would return, and the Shinigami would want to keep things under control. Sure, her father and many other Quincy messed up, and they paid for it, but neither should the Quincy people live in fear. She trained, and with the help of the remaining staff learned Vollstandig alongside other techniques. She would see the newest generation stay safe and free. Side Notes:
