Name: Mana Shishigama
Age: 476
Gender: Non-Binary
Hollow Stage: Vasto Lorde
Personality: Once nothing more than a beast following instinct, a Hollow eating all in its path, Mana changed once becoming a Vasto Lorde. Coincidentally this change occured with the ingestion of a shinigami. This Shinigami became the "Lure" to the Hollow's original form. While still cold and detached from the beings aorund them, Mana has found itself seeking comfort and knowledge.  It takes great joy in being around those it deems entertaining, and at times could even be seen as innocent and in need of a guiding figure. Perhaps this is what remains of the being eaten before becoming a Vasto Lorde.  Perhaps this is nothing more than a echo, or imitation. Deep down, there is a hunger, a rage, a unending viciousness towards anything and eveyrthing. Mana seeks knowledge, only to eat it.  It seeks companionship only to overbear and eat it. It seeks to end its hunger. 

That is what Mana Shishigama is. A beast meant to pacify, and persuade its victims into giving it what it wants, before taking everything, and eating them. Nothing more, nothing less.  For even a monster with a familiar face, is just a monster. Right?

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 896lbs
Physical Traits: 

Spoiler:

Initially Mana looks to be a younger looking person, with light blue hair and eyes. Pale in appearance with bright yellow eyes. This appearance / and Mana's namesake was taken from the final victim before they ascended to Vasto Lorde Class. 

Attached via a sort of soul cable to this body, is the true Hollow. A small house sized Anglerfish looking being. White scales litter it's body, with long claw like fins on its front it will use to move through the air as though it is swimming.

History: TBA
Side Notes: There are two parts of Mana.  The "Lure" human looking piece, and the "Fish". A large white Hollow with aquatic feature and great sharp teeth. While the Lure is Strong and adaptive, the Fish is quick and evasive. More often than not, one half will stay within their pocket space while the other eats and interacts with those around them. Very rarely are both occupying the same space at one time. 

The humanoid Lure and the monstorus Fish both are the same being, though ever since becoming a Vasto Lorde, and absorbing a Shinigami into the Lure, it is as though there is a primal, and civilised personality, both in control at once, and both fighting to be dominant. Once just a monster, now Mana is learning, adapting, and slowly figuring out what it means to "be".

General Fighting Style:  Mana will Initially toy with an enemy, moving around with great ease, seemingly goading an opponent to move in close. Once near they like to mimick the style of a soul reaper in sword combat.  Due to the nature of their ability Mana enjoys prolonging combat as long as possible, and with the help of their advanced high speed regeneration, their sloppiness is made up for by durability.

Once they feel satisfied Mana will show their true self, and attack from below, above, and anywhere they can to overwhelm with a barrage from both the "lure" and the main being. 

Strengths: High-Speed Regeneration, Reiatsu Control, Strength
Weaknesses: Sonido, Agility, Swordsmanship

Ability Name: Lure
Ability Description: The humanoid form of Mana is essentially nothing but a living Lure for the actual Hollow. This Lure is able to release various different forms of spiritual pressure to lull opponents or those around them into a false sense of security. With this they are also able to nearly eliminate their own Spiritual pressure, or raise it far above their own level so they desire. Mana's hollow mask is also able to move freely between the two bodies, Lure and Fish. This allows easy escape and or longevity to what may have been an easy kill. 

Ability Name: Fakest Hydra(Mostly Story Ability)
Ability Description: While activated, those around Mana lose all memories from the past 5 minutes. This repeats ad infinitum until either Mana is defeated or deactivated by Mana. This ability does not actually affect time or space, only the memory of those around him. 

Ability Name: Eater
Ability Description: Mana, the Lure, and Mana the Fish are able to either both exist within the smear plane, or inside a pocket dimension created that exists much like the surface of the ocean.  When "submerging" itself or "surfacing" from within this space, ripples in the Spiritual Energy appear that those with keen senses may notice. Most often this is uses for Mana to attack with the Fish half. Biting, slashing, and even shooting Cero and Bala from within. If one is Eaten by the fish half or dragged into the pocket, they would be exposed to a drowning sensation, with the urgency to be free causing stress and anxiety. While inside it is as though they are slowly being digested, burns slowly appearing on their body before they begin to be eaten whole. This space is only able to be opened twice per post, and may not be used to avoid, dodge, or become invulnerable to attacks.

Ability Name: Bait
Ability Description: Mana's High Speed Regeneration is one of the most powerful known to the Bleach universe.  Due to its unique body composition, the recovery of vital organs is not even needed, as long as the Hollow mask exists, the body will recompose itself around it. This however is only applicable to the "Lure". When attacking the "Fish", opponents will notice that Mana possesses extreme Hierro, a near unbreachable armor. Mana is able to pass their Hollow Mask between bodies through a near unseen cable of spiritual energy. While not instant, it is near.

Ability Name: Overflow
Ability Description: Mana is able to open up a entrance to their pocket dimension and flood the outer world with their own spiritual pressur, causing the same feeling of drownign and anxiety and being digested around them for 5 posts. This thickens the air around Mana allowing them to "swim" and those affected to be slowed and their energy based abilities to become less effective. Once done Mana needs 4 posts to recharge their own pressure into the space to cause another overflow.

Ability Name: Synchronicity 
Ability Description: Both the Lure and Fish parts of Mana are able to shoot Bala and Cero, neither discernable from the other in any way shape or form. 

Ability Name: Mimicry
Ability Description: Mana is able to copy the fighting style, and swordsmanship of those they fight. Most often than not it is the way of a Shinigami, but even a Quincy can be convinced they are fighting of their own if they let their senses dull.
