 THE SHINIGAMI APPLICATION Name: Amelia Nanashi Alias: Ame Real Age: 61 Phys. Age: 11 Gender: Female Personality: Amelia is a shy, gentle, and kind young soul. She tends to speak in a very quiet tone, as if she is afraid to be heard and generally has a hard time looking people in the face if she isn't familiar with them, generally preferring to look at the ground instead. When she finally does get to know someone though, she gets to show the kind, friendly, and rather sweet girl she actually is, showing more concern for her friends then herself and doing whatever she can to help them. Part of Amelia's shyness is due to an overwhelming lack of confidence in herself. The girl is constantly plagued by doubt when it comes to anything concerning herself, whether is be her appearance or ability to do a task given to her. As a result, she often talks herself down and generally comes across as pessimistic in anything that concerns her, believing herself to be inferior to all others. Amelia also suffers from two phobias that she developed while she was alive. The first is the lesser of the two, being androphobia or the fear of men. While it isn't crippling, she generally has a much harder time getting along with men then women, needing to warm up a bit to them before she even begins talking to them and even once she is used to a particular male, she is rather hesitant to trust them completely. The second and much larger of the two is astraphobia, or the fear of thunder and lightning or storms. This one is actually crippling due to the bad memories she has of such phenomena, usually resulting in her freezing up and taking the fetal position in an attempt to block it out. Beneath the lack of self-confidence and the phobias though, is a strong will and a fierce determination, that manages to manifest itself in small ways. Despite how she says she might feel, she always sees a task through to completion, even if she thinks she'll fail. If need be for her friends, she'll fight through her phobias to defend or help them. When given proper incentive and forced to focus completely on her task, Amelia is able to drop everything and just focus on that task to see it through, showing a surprising amount of stubbornness that is not to be underestimated and a hot temper when she is interrupted.. Finally, Amelia has several likes and dislikes. She is an avid fan of sweets and they can be used to easily get on her good side or even as a source of bribing, as long as it's something she would willingly do. She also enjoys quiet places, hot baths, painting, which she is rather talented at even if she says otherwise, music, and the company of those she can call friends. She hates bullies, violent people, shouting and most of all, violence and fighting. The last dislike has resulted in her adopting a pacifist attitude towards confrontations. She hates the idea of fighting and will do whatever she can to avoid confrontation but is willing to do what she must to help protect others. CHARACTER APPEARANCE Height: 4'0" Weight: 70lbs Physical Traits:  Amelia is a rather pretty young girl. Small for her age, both in terms of height, Amelia possess rather pale skin that is prone to being sunburned unless properly protected, a pair of dark red eyes, and short, pale blond hair that she styles to cover the right side of her face. Amelia doesn't have a single flaw on her skin and she does not bother with make-up despite her lack of confidence in her appearance, as she doubts it would help much. Truth be told, she does not actually need it. When it comes to clothes, Amelia doesn't really care much for fashion. She is willing to wear anything she can get her hands on that fits and seems to look decent on her. For this reason, she is willing to wear almost any style, but there are some preferences and dislikes that she has. She generally prefers more modern fashion, liking the simple yet comfortable styles they have, so she is a fan of most of the common clothing found in the World of the Living. She also likes the traditional Japanese style of dress, especially the yukata, though this is more because of their beautiful designs rather then how she feels she looks in them. When it comes to her dislikes, she hates anything that is revealing or risks exposing areas she would rather not have exposed, making skirts and short dresses and definite no. When she finally gets her Shinigami uniform, she will likely see little need to alter it, though she would be willing to take advice or accessories that are given to her to try and make it more unique. THE COMBAT INFORMATION General Fighting Style: Amelia prefers not to fight if at all possible, but given the path she has chose to take, fighting is inevitable. As such, when she is forced into an encounter, Amelia is generally a long range fighter, preferring the rely on the abilities of her zanpakuto and Kido to take down her opponents rather then raw strength in close quarters. She is also very skilled in Hoho in order to keep her distance. Strengths: Kido, Hoho, Reiryoku Weaknesses: Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Lack of Experience. ZANPAKUTO Sealed Appearance: Amelia's sealed zanpakuto takes the form of a tanto. The blade of the sword is six inches in length, made of steel, and has a single edge. The hilt of the sword is only long enough to accommodate one hand and is made out of white ash wood, which is wrapped by blue ray skin in a helix pattern. The bottom half-inch of the hilt is covered in simple piece of brass while the tsuba is also made of the same material.
Zanpakutou Name: Nanatsu no Hikari (Seven Lights) Call Out Command: Glitter Brilliantly SHIKAI Appearance: When released, the blade of Amelia's zapakuto dissipates in seven small motes of different colored which then fly into the hilt. These lights transform into seven different gemstones, which are embedded in the hilt deep enough to not cause any discomfort for Amelia as she holds the blade. There are three gems on each side of the hilt. On the right side, the gems are from top to bottom: Garnet, Citrine, and Quartz. On the left side, also top to bottom, are Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, and Obsidian. The seventh light got into the bottom of the hilt and forms a pearl. A red light appears where the blade used to be before disappearing and revealing a blade made of garnet, measuring ten inches in length. Abilities: Ability Name: Gem Attunement Ability Description: The corner stone of Amelia's abilities, Amelia can attune her blade to seven different gemstone, based on the ones embedded in the hilt of her blade. Doing so changes the appearance of her blade to reflect the gem she is currently attuned to, which add various elemental effects to her attacks. In order to change attunements, Amelia must first sheathe her blade and then focus on the gemstone she wants to attune to. By default, she is attuned to Garnet. The gems and their effects are as follows: Garnet: Fire, causes small explosion on impact. Lapis Lazuli: Water/Ice, causes an icy burst on impact. Enough impacts can freeze sometime Citrine: Lightning, faster projectiles that shock and can cause partial paralysis if they hit the same limb enough. Peridot: Earth, projectiles are tougher and hit with more force Pearl: Wind, projectiles cause a blast of wind on impact, pushing the foe back a foot or two without causing additional damage Quartz: Light, causes a slight distortion around the projectile, causing it to appear an inch away from where it really is. Obsidian: Darkness, has a slight draining effect on one's spiritual power These effects also apply to Amelia's sword, allowing them to be activated or active whenever she is attuned to the appropriate gemstone. Ability Name: Gem Shot Ability Description: Amelia raises her blade and five medium shards or twenty tiny shards of gemstones appear in front of her before being fired at her opponent. While the tiny gems are more of a nuisance then a threat, they are many and travel faster then the medium sized shards and can easily pile on elemental effects that need multiple hits, such as citrine or lapis lazuli. The medium sized shards are slower but hit harder and are better for gem attunements like garnet and peridot. The medium shards are Cero level while the small sharks are bala level. 2 post CD. Ability Name: Gem Shower Ability Description: Amelia raises her blade and a swarm of gems form above her opponent before showering down on them. The individual gems don't do much damage but the deluge can quickly stack up the damage, especially with attunements like garnet or Peridot, while attunements like citrine, obsidian, and lapis lazuli can cause damage and additional effects that may hinder Amelia's opponent. Each shard has the power of Hado #4 and are numerous. Don't just stare at it and stay under. 2 post CD. Ability Name: Gem Wave Ability Description: Amelia slashes her blade through the air, releasing a large cresent blade of gemstone at her opponent. The blade travels at a decent speed and hits rather hard. This technique is great with attunements like garnet or peridot, while attunements like lapis lazuli or obsidian are less useful but can still have an impact. The blade is equal to a Gran Re Cero in terms of power. 3 post CD Ability Name: Gem Spire Ability Description: Amelia stabs her blade into the ground and causes a spire of the gemstone she is attuned too to erupt from the ground underneath her opponent, making it best used against enemies who are close to or on the ground. Once again, garnet is a good attunement for this ability, as are peridot or quartz. The spires can deal Cero level damage. 1 post CD Ability Name: Gem Cage Ability Description: A variation of Gem Spire, Amelia calls forth four gem spires before causing a large explosion of elemental energy between them. This technique is currently her most damaging but also the slowest and easiest of her techniques to avoid. This is also the only technique where the quartz attunement is useless, due to it not being an projectile and more of a trap. All other attunements are very useful for this technique. This technique deals Cero Obscuras levels of damage to those who aren't quick enough to escape the blast. 4 post CD Ability Name: Gem Shell Ability Description: A defensive technique, Amelia summons a dome of her attuned gem around her to defend her from attacks. This technique benefits most from Peridot, which simply makes the shell more durable, while attunements like garnet or citrine cause the shell to release a retaliatory burst of elemental energy at whoever attacks. Pearl is unique in that it makes the shell invisible, allowing Amelia to catch an opponent off guard. The shell can block techniques up to Cero level, while the Peridot attunement allows it to block up to Gran Re Cero level attacks. Any retaliatory attack deal damage equal to Hado#40. 1 post cd for most attunements, 3 post CD for Peridot attunement. BANKAI New Name: Appearance: Abilities: TOUKAI New Name: Appearance: Abilities: BACK-DROP History: Amelia's life could be said to have been hell from the word go. Her mother died giving birth to the young girl, due to an unknown complications that occurred during child birth. This meant her family consisted of her father and older brother of ten years, as well as some more distant relatives who she only ever saw on holidays. While she would never know if this was true, her mother's death apparently changed her family for the worse. Her father was neglectful and rather abusive towards her, something her brother was quick to pick up on and begin mimicking such behavior. As such, Amelia put through cruel and unusual punishments for as long as she can remember. One of the most common she suffered at her brother's hands was to be locked out of the house during the middle of a storm for even the smallest thing, or even nothing at all. As this began while she was just a toddler, she quickly developed a fear of storms, something her brother took great pleasure in exploiting. Life was not much better outside of Amelia's home either. Due to her shy nature and inability to stand up to herself, as well as her easily noticeable fear of storms, she was the frequent target of bullies. The only comfort Amelia could find was in those who others could not see, in other words, the dead. For as long as she could recall, she was able to see and talk to them and the dead quickly became her best friends. While this became another things others could bully her about, Amelia's invisible friends were there to listen and talk to her, giving her a source of comfort in her otherwise bleak world. Amelia's life ended at the tender age of ten. While walking home from school, she was waylaid by the sight of her brother and his friends, a group of young adults who didn't care about his treatment of his sister and sometimes even joined in. As she walked the alleys and backways to her home, the young girl felt something creeping up on her. While she initially ignored it, eventually she was unable to resist the urge to stop and look. The result was the sight of a white animal mask followed briefly by pain then darkness. If it hadn't been for some late yet timely intervention, Amelia might have ended up dead twice over that day. When she finally came to, she was in the care of a woman with beautiful lavender hair. The initial meeting between the two was rather tense, with Amelia having to try and accept the fact that she was now dead as well as having to trust this total stranger as she explained things that seemed to be ripped straight out of fantasy. Needless to say, she resisted the woman's attempts to pass her on to the Soul Society, not wanting to go as she thought she was being pranked. It did not take long for Amelia to realize she was now among the dead. When she returned home, her brother and father didn't even acknowledge her when she approached or tried to interact with them. The most concrete evidence was when she tried to pat her father on the shoulder while he was passed out on the couch, causing her hand to pass right through him. knowing they couldn't see, hear, talk, or touch her now, Amelia just hung around her home. When her family found out about her death, she was greatly hurt to see how little they cared, as they didn't even bother to attend her funeral, each going about their own business. It took a month before Amelia finally accepted being passed on to Soul Society. During this month, she spent a good amount of time running from hollows. As she had no way of fighting them, she relied on her wits to keep her alive during the chase until, seemingly inevitably, the woman with the lavender hair appeared. During this month, Amelia slowly opened up to the woman, who revealed her name to be Eleanor Nanashi, and eventually the two became rather close. They struck a deal, that Amelia would finally allow herself to be sent to Soul Society if Eleanor looked for and adopted her. With the deal struck, Amelia was sent on to Rukongai. Sadly, Amelia's bad luck persisted, and she ended up in the Zaraki district. Thankfully, running from hollows had made the young girl good at running away and hiding. She survived in the district for decades, creating well hidden dens to hide herself in and using her small size to her advantage when running away from the violent residents of the district. The one time she finally was caught, she was once again rescued by Eleanor moments before anything bad could happen. Amelia was taken to the Nanashi estate and soon integrated into the family. The young soul was only there for several months before she expressed a desire to become a Shinigami like her adoptive mother. Thus began several grueling months of training and studying. When it came time for her to finally enroll, she got through due to her excellent Kido abilities, which were well above average, while she otherwise was just average or below average in other categories. While at the Academy, Amelia managed to get through her classes largely due to her intelligence rather then her fighting abilities, which were and still are lacking due to her pacifistic nature. Nonetheless, she managed to graduate and is now awaiting her assignment to a squad and begin her work as a Shinigami. Side Notes: Roleplay Sample: |
