THE ARRANCAR APPLICATION

Name: Rena Lisola
Apparent Age: 20
True Age: 320
Sex: Female
Personality: Somewhat cocky but masks it with indepth knowledge and cool. she loves flowers and has no problems trying to help out others. She usually keeps her power level at next to nothing simply to keep others around her from knowing her true strength. She hates taking sides as it gets confusing but will do as she's told by superiors.

She see's the world as a beauty more than an annoyance so she still does not wish it or those who dwell within it any injustice. She believes that whatever she is doing is the correct choice as she always follows her gut in the heat of a situation. She is a severely logical person. If something irrational happens she'll find a logical way to explain it regardless of if it is 100% accurate or not.

She tends to not be very creative and as such would rather read books than paint or draw. She is both playful yet serious as she tends to switch between the two of them. She'll follow her ideals and goals to the letter but she can't help having a playful and cocky attitude during matches. When push comes to shove however she becomes fully serious and gives it her all in order to complete her objective.

She will never back down from a challenge. She will always step up to the plate and fight back whether its mentally, verbally, or Physically. This might be considered being stupid but its one of her more admirable qualities. There is no challenge she won't accept even if she knows she can't win. She is extremely confident..perhaps even OVER confident in her abilities. She is considered very vain in how cocky and somewhat arrogant she can be when talking to others.

She does not have problems formulating plans of her own devices but isn't exactly bright when it comes to mind games. She easily falls for being baited into anger and usually responds extremely hostile to any form of threats. She cares about her subordinates as much as a she should but she doesn't have any strong feelings that would guide her to be overly protective of anyone. She is more of a loner in this respect and doesn't show much affection for anything. She can organize plans well enough but when it comes to keeping her home clean and neat she utterly fails. She cannot maintain any amount of organization within her own life.

Physical Traits:
Rena the Arrancar Zxhs3RK

FIGHTING STYLE

General Fighting Style: Sendo Genkotsu - This style focuses on the fluid motion and constant switching of many different forms, stances, and styles to suit the needs of the situation the fighter is currently in. Making it hard to predict and harder to counter this style encourages growth and change rather than rigid "pattern" and "technique". So you may never see the fighter fight the exact same way twice or you could see her do the same thing many times. It really depends on her opponent. It combines all of ones martial knowledge with tactical analysis and through this refines into a style that cannot become obsolete. One might argue it could be considered the "ultimate" style, but due to how complex and never ending it can get.. It would also be considered impossible to learn and dismissed. The Lisola Blood-line specialize in this "impossibly growing" style.

Strengths: Reiryoku Control, Strength
Weaknesses: Durability, Endurance
Boosts: x2 speed, strength

Ability Name: Ice/Water Manipulation
Description: The name almost speaks for itself..In essence she is able to control and manipulate ice and water regardless of circumstances. She is able to increase the speed of what the ice and water is doing by double if she uses her hands to guide the actions though. This has a 500 foot range. Once it exits this she has no control over it at all.

Ability Name: Water Creation
Description: she is capable of creating water from essentially nothing using the power of her Zanpaktou and her own spiritual pressure, empowering it with her reiatsu so that it can be used as a weapon..without actually changing the nature of the water itself. She can even turn it into ice and vice versa. She can only create within 150 feet of herself.

ZANPAKUTO & CERO

Sealed Appearance: The Katana in her appearance is standard in every other way.
Zanpakuto Name: Yunibāsaruu~ōtārūra (Universal Water Ruler)
Zanpakuto Call Out: For I am one with that which creates all, I am the life essence of the cosmos and it's destruction, As I move those in my path become washed away, release all restraints and flow freely, Yunibāsaruu~ōtārūra (Universal Water Ruler)

Cero: Cero, Bala, Gran Rey, Cero Oscuras, Cero Doble, Cero Cornea.

RESURRECTION

Appearance: Her hair turns white as snow and her skin turns to ice cold temperatures and takes on a slightly blue hue.

Abilities:

Ability Name: Regenerative Shielding
Description: Rena gains a shield spell, similar to Kidou from a shinigami, fixed to two central areas, the back of her neck and chest where her heart was which, when inactive, remains invisible. Upon contact with an outside force, the spell enlarges to fully protect Rena. The barrier keeps the attack away from the target, gathers the energy in one area, and momentarily absorbs the energy from the attack before forcing the attack outward and away from the shield, dispersing the attack altogether. This can block up to a forbidden Kidou. Once activated this ability gains a CD equal to the power it dispersed. The barrier only activates if she is hit by an AoE from the front or back or a purposeful attack to the back of her neck or chest area.

Ability Name: Repulse
Description: Generating an orb of light at the point of calculated impact made of spiritual energy she is able to repel any one physical attack regardless of strength or speed back in reverse against the offender. Effectively sending them flying in the direction opposite of the attack's trajectory. She is able to do this once per post.

Ability Name: Sage Art: Hundred Bindings
Description: Rena claps her hands together, if possible, otherwise merely exerts the power required for the ability, forming an orb of light above her head which condenses into a hexagonal pole. This pole then transforms into 100 which are then hurled at target(s). They are able to pierce the body like cotton candy but do not do physical damage, instead weighing down and slowing opponents and reducing their movement capacity until the poles that hit are dealt with. If the poles hit a body at any angle to any degree it "Sticks" in place.

Boosts: x3 speed, strength

RESURRECTION SEGUNDA

Appearance:
Rena the Arrancar GNuokc4

Abilities:

Ability Name: Weather Manifestation
Description: Using her high levels of spiritual power she is able to create rainstorms and blizzards of varying degree's in the "Battle" area she is in. From simple rain and just light snow falling around the place to gallons of water at a time pouring from the sky and vision obscuring Blizzard madness. However each time she activates this ability she cannot change it for eight posts. This power lasts between 2-5 posts depending on how much energy Rena expends to cause it and whether or not Rena turns the weather off herself prematurely.

Name: Fist of Destruction
Effect: By channeling her spiritual energy into one of her fists she is capable of doing anything within the following range: Attempt to break another person's bones or otherwise severely injure them "almost" regardless of their durability, Create a massive 20m crater from an explosion of the same range of pure force, or divert an incoming attack in the direction correlating to being hit by her fist without injuring her hand. Regardless of how this technique is used it has a four post CD. (As such it cannot divert things stronger than Cero Oscuras)

Ability Name: Ankoku Shuuha
Description: This power allows the user to fire an overbearingly giant wave of black spiritual power from the weapon. Equal in strength to a level 80 kidou and covers an 80 by 80 area in "wave" shape. This ability has a three post cooldown

Ability Name: Arctic Eulogy
Description: Rena focuses her spiritual energy and causes snow to fall around her opponent, as long as she has "any" means to track this target the snow falling will be transfixed on them and move to where they are. Once this is done Rena converts all of the snow and stops half-way through the process by force leaving nothing but unstable half-altered snowflakes. Pumping her spiritual power into these causes them all to explode at the same power as a Hadou 4 for a few feet per snowflake. This can deal a total damage limit of Two Forbidden Kidou in a rather short time frame to any target caught in her ability. This does not spread the damage between targets. Each target can take up to two forbidden kidou in damage if they don't defend themselves somehow.. Rena is not able to use her Zanpaktou powers again during the thread this is used and what remained of her spiritual energy is completely tapped for the thread as well. She can only do this once per thread as a result.

Boosts: x5 speed, strength

BACK-DROP

History:History: Rena was born into a family of slaves, her father and mother having been forced into servitude in order to repay a debt to a vicious and wicked man. As she grew she was forced into the same labor and servitude as her parents, but through this a rare spark of pride began to show in her. She was always questioning, always arguing, and above all, always fighting back. She refused to take verbal or physical abuse of any sort, a trait her "master" came to notice very quickly. And in the world Rena and her parents lived in, that was not a good thing.

Rena's pride continued to get her in trouble, with people in higher and higher positions of authority. Culminating in a confrontation with the masters own son. Rena had been in the field, enduring another long, agonizing day of brutalization and assault at the hands of the foremen when the masters son happened by. He stopped to watch, laughing as he commented on the need for a sturdier hand, even taking the whip from the foreman's hand to show him proper whip use. On Rena. Rena had had enough and, showing impressive reflexes, caught the whip, turning it back on the masters son. A big mistake.

It took four men to restrain Rena and then chain her, dragging the young girl of only thirteen at the time to the master, who was livid. He ordered Rena's family executed in front of her with the statement "As you have struck my own, so to shall I strike yours!"

He then sold Rena to a man he knew that ran a small gladiatorial arena, expecting Rena to be killed in her very first bout, a two on two where Rena was teamed with a veteran, though he was old and damaged, gladiator who was also expected to die. To everyone's surprise though, they not only survived, but won the match. From that point on Rena and the old gladiator, Greecus, were a team, sent into matches together to please the crowd of powerful criminals who ran the secret arena.

Greecus took Rena under his wing, teaching her how to fight in every form he knew and arming her with a mixture of pride and the ability to fall fully into the fight, allowing herself to enjoy the bloodshed and forget about the pain.

Finally one evening, Greecus told Rena it was time. He had been planning to escape from this life, fighting and killing for criminal overlords, for quite some time, but he would need Rena and her impressive power to do it. Rena agreed and that night they made their escape. Normally, it would never work, the guards had guns and they had nothing. But Rena tended to even such odds easily. Escape was in sight, the very gates, before real trouble appeared. A powerful and specially powered henchman on the books for the boss of the arena.

Rena and Greecus found him to be a real challenge, simply due to his several abilities, but finally Greecus managed to slow him, with a hammer he picked up during the escape, screaming at Rena to leave him and go. "One of us has to make it kid! I am old and have lived my life. Now go! Its your turn!"

Rena took his advice and his words and ran for her life, escaping servitude forever. Or so she thought. Just as soon as she reached the outskirts of the Arena and was about to make it into town the man Greecus had slowed down had shot her in the back.

Dying.. she could only think of freedom and the need for power..

But then something happened she didn't know how to explain. Someone appeared, bonked her on the head, and said she'd be going to Soul Society.

She didn't know what that was.. but it certainly beat dying...she thought? She wasn't sure..thinking was very hard.

When she next opened her eyes. She was already in Soul society. Her body felt different, even seeming to be more powerful than before. She didn't realize at first she was a spirit and it took her at least a week to realize she was a potential for becoming a Soul Reaper. Since she had to ask around and figure out what in the world was going on..

But now that she knew she knew what she was going to do. The same thing she had been doing before. Reaching for the top. Aiming for the goal so that she could be proud and show her pride to those who would push her down.

What she soon discovered however was that Gotei 13 and even Soul Society as a whole were not quite as grand and strong as the Academy had lead her to believe during her years of training. By the time she had graduated she had quickly risen the ranks for her naturally high combat prowess and become a captain of the 13 court guard squads. Fifth Division in face, the so called Jack of all Trades division with very versatile members.

After fighting many battles and ending up taking on some serious damage that altered her appearance permanently, as she refused to have them regenerated and healed, her combat style improved drastically and she even gained new methods of using her powers she had previously not known she had access too, but the fact remained that while she grew stronger Soul Society still failed to have a strong leader. Central 46 had a substitute captain commander in charge but the poor fool was clearly out of his league in terms of running the Squads properly.

So Rena began her many attempts to try and fix this by becoming the captain commander herself. It wasn't that she was feeling superior or that she believed she was the best fit for the job. She was merely trying to be as best help to Soul Society as she could and being in such a position would afford her many methods to strengthen their forces that she simply can not do as a normal captain.

Thus began a new chapter in her relatively short, as of yet, Shinigami life.

As time passed during her time as Captain-Commander, she finished "learning" what she wanted too from her disfigurement and previous failure, which aided her in multiple ways really, and eventually decided that since more powerful forces were beginning to appear. She needed to forego her own stubborn nature and gave into to letting the fourth division restore her arm as they originally wished to. However, circumstances occurred that resulted in her losing her Zanpaktou while it was in it's bankai state.. permanently damaging it beyond the ability to repair. She worked tirelessly to gain enough power to compensate.. but the loss is still felt by her and anyone who knew her full potential.

More time passed however and she noticed, since it was her own body, that she was....degrading. Wasting away. Dying. Like she had some kind of spiritual cancer. She figured it was simply because of her toukai being broken, but after a while of having recovered from the experience her Zanpaktou spirit said it had to do with the fact Rena had been using more power than most shinigami could handle. The only reason it was only occurring "now" was because she was so young overall when she had started making these massive leaps in power. In exchange however.. it had cut her life-span down drastically. A shinigami's record-breaking maximum life-span had been roughly 10x Rena's current age.. but here she was essentially dying of old age before she was old.

Rena, having discovered this in secret, didn't tell anyone. Nor was it truly noticeable because she didn't get any weaker because of it. However she put forth a plan for a replacement, she had found a shinigami academy student with unrealistically high potential by this time, and the plan became centered and focused on getting that Shinigami, Akane, all of the training possible from the other captain's of the Gotei 13 and groom her into being the next Captain-Commander. While Rena knew her "age" was even more massively young compared to Rena's own she knew enough of her captain's would willingly act as advisers and assistants to keep her from being too rash.

To the end that they did not however. She put in a secondary plan. When she eventually stepped down she would have Central 46 re-instated from people hand-picked by Rena who would know the truth, as they do not, nor have any reason to, speak to other shinigami about such important matters by default, and they too would assist the young Akane into becoming the fine Captain-Commander Rena foresaw her being with high astonishing potentially being tapped into.

With the plans in place she merely had to wait for Akane's training regimens to come to an end and. She merely hoped she didn't die before that happened. Luckily, in her infinite moment of wisdom, she had put in a failsafe that should she die before she can enact this herself, the leader of the new central 46 has a letter sealed and written by Rena to start up her plans and publicly explain why.

She didn't plan to tell anyone until the last moment though. No sense worrying people when times are tough.

When she did finally die. As per the normal of souls within Soul Society her soul recycled to the world of the living, but then something happened that she did not intend. Nor did it seem entirely possible. Thinking back, perhaps it was a reward from the Soul King for continuing to do her duty to the best even while dying the entire time, but since there was no way to check she didn't dwell on it and just thanked her luck because instead of being reborn as a normal human child. She was essentially "Ejected" from the heavens down to earth in a small town in the middle of America in human form. She had her memories, but since she didn't have her shinigami powers, her zanpaktou, or even the ability to use Kidou. She'd have to re-learn how to use this body to fight..

But first she needed to find a way out of this god damn crater.. she was too weakened and exhausted from the transition to climb out on her own..

After spending a few years as a human she was found and slain by Ika after deciding to try and tear down his ridiculous empire. She didn't get very far in her human body though unfortunately and just as light began to fade from her eyes something else happened that she did not intend. She got angry. Super Angry. Wrathful even. Her rage boiled over and consumed her every final thought until the next thing she knew she was a hollow.

A hungry hollow.

One that knew nothing but absolute rage. Rage against it's own? Rage against itself? It couldn't tell. It merely kept killing and killing until it finally evolved into a semi-conscious state.. an adchujas. Only then did the woman who used to be Rena begin to remember all the anger and what it was for. Powerful as she had been she had still died not once but twice.

This made her hollow self crave more power. Power enough to never die again. Power enough to stop any foe. So the killing resumed ever more feverantly. Until he found her. Someone she recognized but couldn't remember why. Ika Mazi. The name burned her mind and made her angry but he spoke about power he could give her.. yes.. more power.. she needed more power! She accepted his offer without any hesitation no matter the cost. SHE HAD TO HAVE POWER! Even if it meant following the man who made her seethe with rage.

He spent what felt like years training her into the perfection of a weapon he remembered her being, she thought she would die so many many times, but death never came. Only a handshake and a head pat. Soon after mere months, not years, she was ready. She stretched and the heaven's themselves trembled in fear. Rena Lisola was now what she once hated. A hollow a monster..and she couldn't be happier about it. She was friends with the man who had killed her. The man who had given her a second chance at life when all else said she should truly and forever stayed dead this time. And that just made her grin.
