THE SINNER APPLICATION
Name: Yami Zetsuken
Apparent Age: 21
True Age: ???
Sex: Male
Personality:
He has long since lost the ability to see a bright future in the world He is extremely intelligent causing him to view the world and all that exist in it in a very black and white manner. He rationalizes everything and because he's so smart he can do so so accurately that confusing him with a new situation is nearly impossible, especially since he was from an age where miracles were quite common.
He is imaginative in that he is incredibly creative and able to think of a mass of complex things at once with very little effort, such as creating his own little world inside his head complete with individual people that act different and whole cities, but he is Logical in that he's not about to expect a unicorn to suddenly pop out of thin air, though it's happened to him before, which is amazing that he managed to stay that way because of the level of magic his original "Age" was used to seeing and even more so because of the current state of the world.
He's very serious to a fault even if he doesn't seem or sound that way. Because he's gone through incarnation via Hell Spawning so much he's lost most of his original emotions though he's still got his battle ethics still intact.
He likes to observe civilizations and interactions between entities but isn't exactly socially adept himself. He'll remain quiet and just listen to others more than speak himself but he doesn't shy away from social activity. In fact being near others seems to refresh him even if he isn't doing anything more than observing/listening.
Like his confidence it isn't so much his being courageous as it is being too used to rebirth. He has come to terms with the fact he can't fully die and thus has a seemingly "infinite" number of tries towards anything, at least that is how he thinks now, and he'll take any challenge thrown at him because of this.
Even though he would most likely seem like an assassin type of person to an onlooker's perspective he holds high value for the honor of battle from all viewpoints. He'll fight against anything but he will also not hold back even against clearly inferior opponents.
He is also highly effective at combat strategies and is able to keep an organized plan in and for nearly any situation with multiple back up scenario's planned. Wherever he seems to be holed up for a home becomes much cleaner than it was when he originally arrived but only if he is by himself as he respects the "mess" caused by others as some people, at least in his mind, tend to like their own "messes".
CHARACTER APPEARANCE
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 167 lbs
Physical Traits:
FIGHTING STYLE
General Fighting Style: Yes. Fighting is love. Fighting is life. He flows and changes like the rolling tides. There is no form of combat he cannot learn to master. As long as it is physically possible for him.
Strengths: Speed, Strength
Weaknesses: He possesses the bare minimum of reiryoku and reiatsu to combat spiritual beings and supernatural attacks (Aka energy and elemental attacks) using his weapons, but that is it.
Sinner Racial Boosts: Enhanced Physical Capabilities; They were shown to be able to fight physically against bankai using shinigami. For the purpose of Forum RP this would mean you get a boost to strength automatically for being a Sinner giving you x4 strength. This would be very useful when fighting people your tier since their bankai and shikai give them bonus's as well. The above covers the following list of physical attributes: Strength, Endurance, Stamina, Speed, Reflexes.
ARSENAL
Ability Name: Metalmorph Gauntlet
Description: This gauntlet is attached to Yami's left arm. Once per post, Yami can alter the molecular composition of the gauntlet to allow it to turn into any conceivable one-handed weapon, limited only by his imagination. This weapon is always of Tempered Steel durability, except when in the normal Gauntlet mode at which point it is Zanpakutou Durability, If the weapon breaks it immediately puts it back into the Gauntlet Mode. Yami cannot change it into a weapon the same post that it breaks in.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
Ability Name: Eyes of the King
Description: Yami's eyes are able to perceive information faster than a normal person giving him a slight advantage in normal combat by allowing him to guess what his opponent will do while they are attempting to do it. This also allows him to react better to attacks that are as fast or faster than himself by "aim dodging" around them when possible.
Ability Name: Mark of the Sinner
Description: The tattoo's engraved on his body protect him from Kidou and spell-like abilities as well as elemental attacks, including pure energy, by 33%. This is passive and is in effect at all times. Alternatively he can choose to turn this off for five posts and completely backlash any one ability that comes into contact with him to it's user at the same power it was used against him up to and including forbidden kidou of any kind.
Ability Name: Robe of Regeneration
Description: Every post Yami recovers from the damage he sustained in that post at the rate of 50% via regeneration. Though this does not restore his stamina it does make it harder to actually kill him from prolonged combat. This also renders trying to disable him a moot point. This also works on his clothing and his weapons.
Ability Name: Mirage Step
Description: Yami releases a small burst of reiatsu into his feet and greatly increases his speed for a fraction of a second. This allows him to move so fast that he literally appears to be in two places at once. He can do this once every other post, or add more reiatsu in order to create more mirages, up to a maximum of 10, but this places the ability on cooldown for 5 posts.
Ability Name: Light-Speed Strike
Description: Once per post Yami is able to make a regular attack at such speeds that even the most perceptively gifted beings cannot visually see the attack on the physical level. For all intensive purposes he can make an "invisible attack". But it is a normal attack and would still give off sound, wind currents, and other telltales that he moved.
PHYSICAL EXPLANATIONS
Ability Name: Enhanced Stamina
Description: The user's body is highly resistant to the build-up of lactic acid in their muscles, allowing them to be physically active for considerably longer periods of time than the average member of the user's species.
Ability Name: Uninhibited Muscle Access
Description: Users are able to completely use every muscle in their body, while under normal conditions most humans use only 20-30%. Even chimps can be 4-5 times stronger than the average human because they can use every muscle in their body. This is because their body structure allows them to do so.
Ability Name: Enhanced Strength
Description: Users have incredible ability to defy weight limitations of the member of their race, but not completely break them. Dense, lengthy, or overweight items are easy to move and simple to use in nearly any manner. Users can crush, lift, throw, or catch items of great weight.
Ability Name: Enhanced Speed
Description: User can move much faster than the average member of their species, some near or at the speed of sound, or even faster. This user is able to move at Shunpo speeds as a "base-line".
Ability Name: Enhanced Agility
Description: User with this ability can go from one motion to another effortlessly, effectively dodge attacks, swing from things easily, sprint, do back-flips and numerous other gymnastic, athletic and martial implements with little effort. Agility is "the ability to rapidly respond or change by adapting its initial stable configuration", the ability to change the body's position efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, bodily coordination, speed, reflexes, strength and endurance.
Final Stats w/ Boosts =
Strength x6
Speed, Reflexes, Stamina x5
Endurance, Durability x4
Reiryoku and Reiatsu -50%
BACK-DROP
History:
Yami was a simple man with simple desires and a simplistic life. He didn't ask for much, gave a lot, and didn't seem to have any real world issues with anyone. However when he married, his eventual life choice of being a teacher of self-defense, in all it's forms, to those willing to learn, eventually drove his wife into a frenzy because he would spend more time training and teaching than he would with her. This strain on her became too great at some point, he was never sure when exactly due to his...busy nature, and she started killing his students and other people, though it was a long time before he or any else figured this out. After finally killing the last of his students and effectively scaring off any chances of him obtaining new ones, she was caught by the police, for she had been sloppy and left a trail back to her home on her last kill due to her own relief that she believed it was all finally over, slipping up and leaving evidence.
They, by law, sentenced her to death and with her dying breath she cursed Yami and blamed him for how she had turned out and for her death. Years passed, Yami was stricken with grief, and secluded himself in the mountains to focus on the only thing he knew that would bring him any measure of peace, his training.
During this time his wife seemingly returned from the land of the dead, playing mind games with him for days at a time trying to cause him to commit suicide from his own grief and belief in his own failing. However due to his disciplines he remained vigilant that living and repenting was the only way to make amends. After a few more months passed she finally got so sick and tired of waiting for him to off himself that she dragged him into hell herself and killed him there. Damning him to the life of a sinner in the process.
For countless years he had nothing, he was shackled and beaten and tortured for unknown lengths of time by his hateful wife, who he only looked at with sadness at first, but then no longer could feel emotion and just stared at her, in his mind, he continued to find the only peace he could, his training and discipline, figuring that the moments of pain and agony were his punishment.
it is unclear how much time passed after this started, he is unsure, but something within him snapped finally during one of his "Beatings" and he broke free of his shackles, mercilessly and effortlessly breaking his former wife apart with his bare hands in the process. Stepping forth was the new Sinner. The new Yami. Emotionless, Calm, Determined.
He was tired of the cage, and could no longer feel the emotions that had kept him there for so long, thus deciding he would continue to do what he did best, even if it was selfish of him, a feeling he also could no longer feel.
He would fight. And fight. And keep on fighting. Until he simply couldn't fight any longer.
The man had been converted. Despite never having done anything truly worthy of damnation. He was now a full on Sinner rather than a human soul trapped in Hell itself. With this new found strength and determination to end his torment he stepped forward and began to carve his way out of Hell one bloodied corpse at a time..
Soon he would be free, and the story of Yami Zetsuken would begin anew.
