Maki, the Crystal Fullbringer Name: Maki Kesshō Age: 24 True Age: 24 Sex: Female Personality: Maki is a curious, yet mad doctor. She prides herself in her intelligence, and ability to gather new information. When meeting someone new, her first priority is to pick them apart and learn as much as she can about them, including any potential information that they have. Since her second priority is to get them on her side, she will not try and eliminate anyone she sees potential ally material in. Thirdly, if she cannot extract information, nor recruit them as an ally, she may try to hint at combat, even while still acting civilized, curious, and respectable. Should all of these fail, she'll suggest they leave her be, or they will then be subjected to combat. Her personality then makes a heavy shift, towards that of someone who wants to beat her opponent's face into the ground by any means necessary. However, somewhere among all that lust for carnage, Maki is still analyzing battle patterns as per her main perogative. Should for any reason Maki get upset in combat, her personality dips into the edge madness, wanting to annihilate her foes with sheer power. When in combat, Maki excels as a former weapon master, having learned nearly every weapon used in every nation, in every war, how to use it properly, and how to deal with its weight in the most appropriate fashion. After she discovered her powers, she used them to create a near-perfect staff that does not flex or bend, and uses attachments that she creates on a whim to use whatever weapon-type is the most applicable for the situation. Her decision making, calculation, and other brain-reliant abilities are even more useful in combat. She is capable of detecting projectile velocity, potential point of impact, potential combat decisions made by other combatants, and will calculate up to one million possible outcomes in the blink of an eye to project the best course of action. Her combination of multi-weapon mastery and her supercomputer mind make her a deadly threat on and off the battlefield. Aside from her thought process and sheer skill, only one trait truly encompasses her fighting style, and that is that she holds absolutely nothing back. She fights with everything she has at all times, and takes pride in her drive to win. Additionally, since her newfound strength has developed, she will go above and beyond to win, even leaning into madness and scare tactics to mess with her opponents. This trait has given her fewer limits, allowing her to reach her peak of power. Though she still has two fighting styles, she'll use what's best as long as she's still sane. On the rare occasion that you see her dressed up and in the mood to lighten up a bit, she does indeed behave a bit more loosely. However, it'd be best not to anger her or try and take advantage of this time, as she will immediately make you regret such insolence. Still, if you treat her nicely, nothing will go wrong. She does enjoy being a little bit more comfortable in a relaxed setting and as such, will converse more freely, even making jokes and dancing as is customary. Should anything happen while relaxed, and her services be needed, she can drop it almost immediately and fight in an improvised fashion. Enjoy this part of her while it lasts, you'll be lucky to see it in the first place, and luckier still to see it again, should you miss your first chance. (No Accelerator, you can't get her drunk. Deal with it.) Character Appearance Height: 5’10” Weight: 130 lbs Physical Traits: Her gaze is the coldest that you may ever see. Her eyes in their bright magenta may seem full of love at first, but her disapproving gaze says otherwise. Her skin is a rather pale white, only barely showing normal human colors. Her jet black hair goes all the way down to her waist when it’s let down, but she is often seen with it tied up into a rather ornate and well controlled pony tail that only goes around 3 inches below her shoulder line. Her frame is rather well built, even for a woman, and her tall body strikes intimidation into most people when paired with her stable and resilient posture. Her body is as not as muscular and sturdy as it once was due to her shift in power, and she is capable of bearing a load of nearly a ton, so long as her powers are in use. Her chest is roughly a C, but if you ask her, she will beat the tar out of you. Overall, if you met her, you wouldn’t feel so apt to strike up a conversation with her. Or at least if you do, you better not waste her time. She may be dressed in one of three ways. There’s her combat uniform, which is a one-piece sort of jumpsuit made with a type of silicone/leather combination. It’s mostly black with white ornaments, and a slightly brassy trim. Were it not for the fact that her powers were used in combat, the outfit would not appear glossy as it does when she uses her liquid tension armor. Her weapon shrinks to fit at her waist, seeing as she has specially designed it to be compactable. Her second uniform is what she wears in casual occurrences, when she is not planning for combat (which isn’t often). In this case, she generally sticks to a similar outfit to what her combat outfit, but instead a three-piece. The undershirt is strictly black, she won’t wear a shirt of any other color it seems. Over her top, she wears a jacket of black leather, with white trim and only a badge of silver, inlaid with a purple gem. The badge reads, “Tidal Silver” which appears to be what she calls her crystal ability. Let's face it, she probably won't dress up. You'd be lucky to even get her out enough for her to care, but sure, what the hell. She's likely not gonna ever go out and party or have a good time unless it's with her gear but if she does, she prefers to go out in a black yukata with a silver floral design. Her waistband is purple, wrapped tightly around her waist and pushing her bust up slightly. She has also been known to carry a matching parasol when she wears such an outfit. Her sandals are the traditional type, with white socks to go with them. Her hair is tied up more formally than usual, being looped in such a way that her hairline does not touch her shoulders. The set of loops are set together with a silver ornament that she made herself, a set of crashing waves. It's also to be noted that she smiles more often when dressed like this, instead of her normal cold expression. Appearance as seen below for reference   Post -insert thing here- Maki Kesshou  Post thing Maki with combat suit.  Post thing formal dress Maki. Fighting Style General Fighting Style: Her fighting style varies based on the situation. Due to her powers, her fighting style, she can convert her normally fast and adjustable metal staff to a massive mallet, a glaive, a scythe, or pretty much anything really. She uses her methods of creating the liquid crystal-like substance to form the weapon to what she sees fit in combat. Her time training with many different types of weapons before she discovered her powers. Though generally, she prefers to stick to longer weapons, extending her staff to the full eight feet for use in combat, occasionally attaching Tidal Silver to it to make a blade or weighted weapon. If the situation calls for her to close the combat distance, she can even temporarily sever her staff so that it can be dual wielded (two shortswords, sword/shield, etc.) Though this was her former fighting style as a normal Advent Human, after her transition to a Fullbringer, she prefers to go all-out in a different manner, using brute strength, raw power, and her crystal's durability and kinetic force to do heavy damage, track enemies, and overall, terrify them with her monster-like armor. This is usually only going to be used by way of necessity, or maybe just to scare people. Strengths: Reiatsu. Stamina. Reiryoku Regeneration. Weaknesses: Hakuda. Strength. Durability. Primary Stage Personal Ability: Surface Bound Description:Similar to her previous inertia reflection, she can only use this while her armor isn't on. Otherwise she'd be too heavy for it to be effective. She can use this to bound off of any surface, doubling the force imparted for a lovely boing across the world. She can however, use this during combat to increase the impact force of her staff. In addition to storing and duplicating the force of impact to bound off surfaces, she can also use this ability to start the chain by boosting off a surface without an impact required. Ability Name: Metallurgy Description: One of the abilities Maki has retained is the ability to liquefy metals and combine them freely. Normally this will be used out of combat, but she can use this mid-combat to make walls, shapes, etc. At a default, one can assume metal objects can take anything less than a Cero before it is damaged. Even in combat, she can adjust the shape of her staff, other nearby metals, the sharpness, density level, and other varying properties. This ability extends out 40 meters. Ability Name: Call of Rejuvenation Description: While in Primary stage, Maki regenerates her Stamina when not moving. She can't do so while her Fullbring state is active, thus allowing her to remain in peak condition when fighting with physical strength. Conversely, her Spiritual energy drops when in Primary Stage. Fullbring Weapon / Item(s) / Whatever it is on you: Her staff that she made out of her own alloy of metals is Zanpakuto durability and now her Fullbringer item. Her staff is a custom-made weapon of her own design, made of an alloy only she knows what. It is made to collapse via density alteration technology, and can be made to extend anywhere from one foot long to eight feet at max. It is designed never to flex, bend, break, or waver, even when a weight of 300 pounds is attached at one end. Because of her powers, she can sever the staff at any point and use it to dual wield. In single wield, she’s capable of affixing substances to one or both ends of the staff, turning it into a partisan weapon, glaive, greatsword, axe, etc., and in in dual wield, such applications as twin shortswords, shield/weapon combo, etc. Though with her new set of powers, she may not be using it as much for varying weapons as much as she once did. Appearance: In appearance, it is a simple white staff, and the substance she coats it with and applies to it when making attachments is transparent in liquid form, a semi-translucent white in solid form. Ability Name: Tidal Silver Description: Maki can release a liquid crystal substance that can solidify, liquefy, and even hold a hybrid state as she so chooses. She can release no more than 5 cubic meters of this at a time, any more than that and she will lose control of it all, crystallizing everything in the area. Since the transition to Fullbring, she prefers to take the form of an 8 foot tall crystal behemoth with varying spines on its back. Due to the nature of this material, it can withstand the blast of no more than a Hadou 80 before shattering, and can be launched in varying sizes and shapes. Her radius of control is 25 meters. If anything larger than 3 inches in length is fired, it will fly at Cero speed, wheras lesser projectiles will fly at Bala speed. Anything that is shattered can be re-used. The armor she generates functions much like an Arrancar's Hierro and will block most melee strikes and cutting abilities, so long as she is not hit with the equivalent of a Shinigami's Toukai. This however does not block things such as Seele Schneiders, Quincy Arrows, and other kidou/reishi assisted strikes. In addition to the above, the Armor will take less damage to remove, since it's in a hybrid state. When in psuedo-liquid state, it will take no more than a Hadou 60 before vaporizing. When the armor vaporizes, some nearby fragments or nearby portions of the armor will move to take its place during Maki's next post. Maki cannot generate additional armor unless she moves to an area out of the way of combat, unless her armor is reduced to 1/2 of it's original amount, at which point she will fully restore it, not being able to do so again for four posts, or if she runs low on energy.. (I'm not going to bother posting power scaling for the shots, simply because they vary so much, just be fair about taking damage. So long as you're fair about damage, I'll be fair about energy consumption.) :origin()/pre11/e24e/th/pre/i/2011/182/6/b/___ice_dragon____by_blackmetroid-d3kopib.jpg) For a frame of reference, her 'beast armor' makes her look like this with additional spines on her back, of varying sizes. .... Should Maki ever lose control of Tidal Silver, she will unwillingly and thoroughly cover a 10 meter radius with the substance, varying in thickness and shape, herself and anyone unfortunate enough to be in that radius included. The crystal will then become unstable and detonate in random places and at multiple points in tine, doing varying damage based on how much explodes, when it explodes, and where. Maki will take heavy damage from this, and depending on the extent of the damage, will either be unconscious or fatigued and unable to continue fighting after this happens. Ability Name: Polyvision Description: Still as before, her polyvision allows her to see things at the molecular level, even at proximities of 2 inches, and distances of 100 meters. Her Fullbring transition however has allowed her to see spiritual energy, though only slightly. She can use this to track any crystal that is not attached to her body within the 100 meter range, due to the minor energy signature that her crystal carries. She can still see telescopically over great distances, though to a lesser extent, in the same detail as a normal person would see a mile away. Ability Name: Silver Eruption Description: Any crystal Maki fires can use the energy that is within them, via chemical bonds, spiritual energy, and the like to completely vaporize itself, exploding in a radius equivalent to the length of the shard. Damage done is a bit hard to scale, but if she fires small needles, they will 'hurt'. good sized shards will do that of a Bala each, foot long pieces will do that of a Hadou 50 each, anything larger than that, and I'll just have you use your imagination. (for all intents and purposes, 1 foot long = 50, every foot after that is an extra 10) Ability Name: Metal Conversion Description: Using her affinity for metal and crystals, she can convert metals into her Crystal once per post. While it does cost energy, it is more efficient than producing Tidal Silver on her own. So long as Maki is among her two favorite materials, she will be much harder to deal with. Ability Name: Energy Shore Description: Maki can restore Spiritual energy while in Fullbring Mode as long as she isn't actively moving. The rate at which it's restored is dependent on how much she's moving, how much she's using it, and how much damage she's taken. Conversely to this, she loses Stamina as a drawback. Boosts:x4 to all. Back Drop Background: As a young child, Maki grew up in the home of a noble family in the Hokkaido Prefecture. She was born into privileges, status, money, and all other things that come with the status of nobility. Some children that are raised this way tend to act rather like a princess, but Maki did not. She wanted to strive to deserve her noble title no matter what that meant. She played chess, shogi, go, and other complex strategy games frequently, showing shocking prowess with such games as young as age 5. She often stayed in her father's library, reading his books on mathematics, including trigonometry, statistics, advanced mechanical physics, and engineering. She also took an interest in his other books, whether it was psychology, metabiology, metallurgy, alchemy, chemistry, and more. You name a textbook? She's read it. On her 9th birthday, she asked her father to train her in martial arts and to teach her everything she knew. He hesitated and originally told her no, but agreed later on when he found Maki training on her own, practicing using techniques she'd watched him use previously. After seeing her determination, he agreed to train her. At first, he taught her mostly hand to hand techniques, including grappling, palm and fist strikes, and various forms of punches, kicks, and sliding moves. She became quite strong for a small child, extremely agile, and moderately fast with her training. After her 11th birthday, her father handed her a wooden shortsword out of curiosity, wondering if she'd pick it up and fight with it as easily as she'd learned hand to hand combat. Sure enough she did. She was introduced to swordplay as well as her dad could teach her including some advanced techniques. Her father died on his 43rd birthday, when she was 16, and as a result of this, her mother took what money was left to her and abandoned Maki entirely. This upset Maki heavily, setting her into tears, as she did indeed love her father. She enjoyed every moment training under him. Both out of anguish towards her mother, and in memory of her father, she looked in her father's library, which had been left untouched by her mother, and took out every book she could find relating to sparring techniques, various weapons, and the like. She studied them intensely, then immediately began to train with every weapon available that was left by her father, at the time only a staff, shortsword, and shield. She spent the next five years collecting an assortment of varying weapon types until she mastered them all. One evening she stumbled across a diary her mother kept, left behind like most of the other things in the house. This is how she learned that her mother had a hand in her father's death, poisoning him so he would die in his sleep. Maki could believe this, knowing that her mother was cold, and had no reaction to her father's death. Angered by this, she swore if she ever saw her mother, Maki would kill her with her own two hands. The night she turned 18, Maki heard a mysterious, yet familiar voice echoing through her head, "You look so much younger now, my wife. I have but one question. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL ME? I TRUSTED YOU." When the voice screamed, she panicked in response, looking for the source. She'd never experienced such a thing, and why did it call Maki its wife? She wasn't married. She looked around before seeing a figure emerge from the darkness. A hollow. "What in the hell are you?" She asked it, slightly more resolved now that she knew she wasn't crazy. "I am the one that used to live here, so long ago, and you were the one I loved." She took a step back in shock, then thought about it for a moment. She knew it was the hollow of her father, clearly upset at being poisoned. As for her appearance, she looked like the spitting image of her mother when she was younger. She understood now. "You're my father, aren't you. You have me confused for my mother it would seem. But... you're not quite him. You're so much emptier now." The hollow did not seem to take lightly to being called a liar, and as evidence of this, reached out to grab Maki. She bounded away knowing what she had to do. She grabbed a quarterstaff from the corner of the room and immediately took to beating the hollow with it, though hardly making a dent. Even during her swings she increased the force until the quarterstaff snapped in half. Eventually, she grew fatigued, even in her physical form, and got grabbed by her father's hollow. Her quarterstaff dropped to the floor and clattered, a sure sign of her defeat. She looked at what used to be her father with a glazed eye, almost ready to let him devour her soul. Except one thing. Her father once told her never to give up in a fight, even if you were sure you were going to lose. Then something cracked somewhere. Maki wasn't sure where she was, but she knew one thing, she was sure as hell not going to die. Her body erupted in a faded white crystal substance that was translucent, ripping through hollow flesh, crushing what was in front of her with sheer force. It screamed for a few minutes until it was shredded and crushed beyond identification, then Maki felt her body drop to the floor. She woke up several hours later, still partially encased in a monstrosity of a crystal formation. She couldn't move too well, freaking out a bit while trying, but eventually, she realized she had made the crystal. As if trying to communicate with it, she concentrated, only opening her eyes to see it dissolve and melt to the floor. She got up and grabbed her quarterstaff. Curious, she attempted to control it again, and she found she could. She willed the crystal to flow over top of the quarterstaff, encasing and repairing it, and affixing a blade to the end. A glaive, sharper than she could imagine. She had stepped into a world beyond all she thought possible. Maki spent the next 6 years getting used to her powers, learning to control them to extreme degrees, as well as discovering new ones, and even gaining the ability to summon her reiatsu outside of her body, though in limited amounts. When she played with her powers' limits, she did so in secret, as she was not fully aware of what common knowledge of these things were. As soon as she figured out all of their potential, she decided to try something new. She dismantled an old computer from the house she lived in, and pulled out all the metal she could, in liquid form. She then made a staff that contained about 17 different elements, that did not bend, flex, or seem to show any signs of brittleness. It was white in color and became her new best friend. She tried to produce the crystal substance she remembered from that night 6 years ago, and couldn't quite manage it. Puzzled, she reached deeper inside herself, catching something. Yes, finally the truth she had sought came alive. She felt stronger than before, and was this time able to summon the same liquid crystal, this time with the same level of control as other liquids. She willed it away and it melted back into her body, as if it were actually her energy. She extruded a small chunk of crystal and said, "I think I'm going to call you Tidal Silver." As if responding to her, the crystal made a little ocean wave, sparkling in the sunlight above. Off in the distance, she heard the sound of fighting, and became curious, peering out her window to see a couple men in robes fighting what she knew to be a hollow. Curious as she still was, she opened her window, still in what she referred to as secondary form and used what force she could to propel herself from building to building, until at the scene. She looked up at them and waved, apparently surprising the two robed men. "Looks like you boys could use lady's touch. Might wanna stand back and let me handle this." They seemed rather pressed for the situation, barely making a dent in it. Maki produced about 13 pounds of the crystal, affixed it to the length of her staff, forming a greatsword with a 7 foot long blade and charged at the hollow, cleaving through it without breaking a sweat. The two men looked shocked, asking me if I was a shinigami. I replied with "What's a shinigami? I have no knowledge of such a thing." They looked at me odd and asked if I was a human and I simply nodded at them and they panicked like all hell and disappeared through a magical-looking door. Whatever. Some help men are anymore. Apparently, there were indeed others like her, but this was only the beginning of the world that she was now a part of. Not even 6 months into her stay at the Committee, she's been shifted from the head of the Research and Development (and Accelerator's dog) to the Leader of the Committee. This was no easy journey, as when she was tasked with the mission to defeat Sla Yer, she suffered traumatic injury, keeping herself alive with her raw determination and power control. After Accelerator showed up to deal with the Hollow that did this to her, he took her back to the Committee where she could restore her body. Upon doing this, she found she could no longer use her powers. Puzzled, Maki decided to do experiments with lab equipment, at one point, touching her staff, feeling her power surging when doing so. Curious, she went into the back bay of the Albatross building, attempting to summon Tidal Silver and successfully doing so. She managed to create more than she ever could before, and curious, made a complicated and intricate set of towers and ornaments. There was something Maki had always wanted to try, but had failed to do because of her limits. She wrapped her body in the crystal, making a gargantuan beast made of her Tidal silver. Firing off several shards, she noticed they now glowed slightly, emitting energy. She reached into them, looking for all the energy they teased at, and let it loose, causing the shards to explode. Letting her Tidal Silver slip to the floor and vaporize, she felt as though she really needed this new power. As the head of the Human Committee, she would be both feared and respected, striking down any who would surpress the Humans. RP Sample: Ever since she'd gained control of her powers, she'd developed a workdesk and a sort of business of her own. She'd been making really unique alloys that she'd never read about before, and because of this, was able to profit off of the fact that it was a new material. She would also purchase low grade materials, including iron and aluminum, and purify them, getting every last impurity out of it before selling it all at a much higher price. It was almost like she was the living copy of the library that she'd read so long ago, enchanting the world around her to her will. Maki liked the sound of that and smirked. In time, she also purchased other metals to work on inventing things. On one particular afternoon, she'd purchased a set of materials including rubber, leather, plastic, silicone, and a sheet of velvet. Using the velvet as a base, she trimmed and threaded it it in such a way that it was in one piece, a body suit I suppose you could call it. She took the rubber and silicone, mixing them together to create a jet black material that was soft and malleable. she spread it onto the seams of the bodysuit, covering them, and also making guidelines for the ornamental designs later. She then took brass from her metal supply, removing all the impurities, and applying it to the design, making the trim shiny and yellow, almost like gold. She then sealed it with the plastic, ensuring it would look shiny for years to come. She liked the end result so much that she made a similar outfit for casual use that was a jacket and pant combination. "With this outfit, I'll be able to move freely without limiting a single millimeter of my body during combat." With that, she was ready for anything that should come her way. |
