Ishpaleum Shinnok

[Ishpaleum]

Basic information

Name: Ishpaleum Shinnok

Age: He appears to be around 30, but in fact has been around just about forever, or as long as it would have mattered to be around. His age is drastically slowed due to his heritage, allowing him to be effectively immortal, aside from being struck down.

Gender: Male

Ex Rank: He originally held the position that came to be known as Captain Commander.

Ex squad: 1

Appearance:
Much like the above pictue, except that he has a large scar across his chest, and wears a ring on his left ring finger. He will normally either wear this robe, or a long black one. He has also been known to wear expensive suits from time to time, and owns many sets of armor.

Personality: Ishpaleum is one of the most complex characters in terms of his personality. He never seems to be quite the same person more than once, always changing. He explains this by saying that it would be terribly boring, being the same man every day, so he reevaluates his life every day. He can be a noble hero one day, or be a cold villain the next. One thing that never changes is his sense of honor. He maintains a high level of dignity and honor in every action that he takes. He is highly manipulative, and every move that he makes is normally to influence the actions of others, most often for their own benefit... even if it simply seems like a cold action. (Killing a family member to prepare a man for an upcoming war.) In terms of his relationships, he is slow to trust, but once he begins to care for a person he will defend them with his life. He has a habit of taking on apprentices and training them to be prepared for whatever comes at them.

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Relationship Status: Single, widowed.

Zanpakuto info

Name of Zanpakuto: Jinsei
Zanpakuto manifestation: Jinsei takes on the form of anyone who has been touched by Ish's blade, but his favorite form is that of a small boy.
Inner World: Ish's inner world is a set of one thousand islands, each of which has it's own climate and characteristics. (one may be on fire, one may be made of ice, ect.)

Zanpakuto appearance:
Without the aura
Release Phrase: Die, Jinsei
Shikai Appearance: The same, except for the aura grows, and Ish will often take on a glow along with it. Occasionally a second blade will appear as well.
shikai Abilitiy:

When activated, Jinsei will immediately begin to siphon the lifeforce of any weak beings nearby. (Normal humans, ants, trees, ect.) It will gather this massive energy within it. When struck with Jinsei, it can either harm you as a normal blade would, or leave no physical damage but instead siphon away portions of your life force. Ish can gain access to certain abilities of those he has taken the lifeforce from. (For Shinigami, if not slain by the blows, he will gain the ability to channel their Shikais. For Humans, he can use a weaker version of their abilities, and so on and so forth.)

Lifeforce acts as a direct link between a person and their reaitsu as well, so when it is taken there will almost always be a temporary drop in an opponent's reaitsu

Lifeforce aura: A passive ability, when Ish has collected lifeforce
A. Reduces damage from enemy attacks by 25%
B. Boost his already masterful speeds to nearly twice that of the average Shunpo.
C. Allows him to manipulate the life force more directly than normal.

Life force manipulation: Ish can use collected life force in a variety of ways. In his Shikai, he can make small structures with it, as well as weapons.

Lifesight: A passive ability, this allows him to see through his soul, and into the souls of his opponents. This allows him to learn about them very quickly, and read them very well. It also makes him impervious to most mind-altering effects.

Lifelike: Ish can divide his own lifeforce, creating as many duplicates of hiimself as he may like. However, when they are slain he will lose a portion of his life. Each clone can only survive one attack.
techniques: (optional)


Name: Life Manifestation
Description:Ish can use the blade to manifest a being created with all the stored reitsu in Jinsei. This being will have the abilities of anything used to create it, and it's appearance will be reflected in the same way. If Ish uses this and releases the life force, it will return to its owners. If the being is destroyed, the life force is lost forever. This technique is rarely used, due to the fact that Ish doesn't like to release too much life force into the world.
Duration: Varies
Cooldown: Varies

Name: Another Chance
Description: When Ish dies, he can use half of his stored lifeforce to heal all of his wounds and return to life. This ability can only be used once a month.
Cooldown: One week


Bankai info
Release phrase: Bankai
Bankai appearance: The aura grows massively, then condenses down so that it barely covers Ish's body. It is actually much thicker at this point, but is mostly invisible due to its high density. Ish's body is covered in a black armor with gold trimmings, which is impervious to any but the strongest of attacks (high powered Captains in Bankai.)
Bankai ability:
When his Bankai is activated, all beings that are not spiritually aware within a 100 meter radius will lose all of their lifeforce, effectively killing them if it is not returned. Lifeforce will begin to drain steadily from any being that does not have a Captain-level reaitsu or higher, taking about 20 posts to drain completely (when hit subtract 2).

Ish's aura abilities will at this point double in their effectiveness with the exception of his speed, allowing him a 50% reduction in all damage and the ability to form large structures from lifeforce.

Hollow Mask info


Hollow name: Shinnok

Inner hollow appearance:

Hollow mask appearance: An elongated Hollow mask with two horns coming off the sides.

History/Rp sample

Ishpaleum was born in a time before time, when the Earth was first being created and the laws that would govern it were being established. He was the only son of the chief diety of the Earth, Shinnok. Shinnok had been designated to watch over the Earth as its Guardian, and so had full authority over it and its inhabitants.... which were currently being debated. It had already been decided that humans would roam the Earth, but many were debating that they were too weak to protect themselves entirely. As such, they wanted to establish another race of beings for when they died, to protect and guide them. Shinnok was staunchly opposed to this plan. He disliked humans, and wished to create a "superior" race of beings, whose sole purpose would be to serve him. He would use humans as the primary food source for these beings, and even change them into them if he could. In the end, his adversaries managed to win the debate, and so Shinnok was asked to give a gift of good faith to the new race, the Shinigami. Shinnok decided to send his son, Ishpaleum, to Earth as his gift. He had raised Ishpaleum to think like him, and so assumed that he would work as his spy among them, eventually destroying them. Instead, Ish decided to live among them peacefully, helping to guide them to new heights, even going so far as to establish what would be known as the first Soul Society, which became a safe haven for Shinigami. Ish eventually became the unofficial leader of the Soul Society, directing most of the daily affairs. He became good friends with the man who had been chosen to be the King of the Soul Society, and was tasked with the defense of both their world and the human world. Humans had finally begun to emerge from the primordial ooze from which they had been crafted at this point, and so it seemed that their job was about to begin, To this end, Ish began to organize his military, which eventually consisted of nearly every Shinigami within the ever-growing Soul Society. It was also durung this time that he met the woman that he would eventually marry, Elena. Elena was a fiercely powerful Shinigami woman, who quickly rose throughout the ranks of what Ish had dubbed the "Interworld Defense Force" (I.D.F.).

All was peaceful for many centuries after the S.S. had been established. The Shinigami did their jobs, and the humans lived their short lives uninhibited. Ishpaleum and Elena got married and had a son, who they named Domon. Domon grew up somewhat privileged, due to his father's status within the S.S. He followed his father everywhere, and grew under his tutelege. When Shinnok heard that Ishpaleum had had a child with a Shinigami woman however, he was furious. He swore to tear down the Soul Society and destroy the child. To this end, he finally created the beings that he had wanted on the Earth in the first place, his Hollows. He allowed them to draw directly from his power, allowing each of them to be capable of combating a Captain level opponent.

Ish had heard of the army approaching the S.S., and so had been prepared. He had placed Domon in a Kido-based sleep, then hidden him and the other children far from the Soul Society. He had then begun his preparations for the upcoming war, which lasted only a few weeks. In the end, it was only Ishpaleum himself that stood, holding Elena's corpse as he changed, unleashing his full divine powers upon the Hollows, destroying all present, as well as the remains of that great place. Ish then began to seek a way to destroy his father for what he had done... which is how he found the Reaper. The Reaper was a being that represented death, specifically the deaths of immortal beings, such as Shinnok. Ish struck a deal with him, gaining immense power which he used to combat his father. In the end of the long battle, he found that he still could not kill Shinnok, and so he used a special Kido to seal him within his Zanpakto Konmatsuri, which he would later pass on to another person for safe keeping. It was also during this battle that Ish became a Vizard, after a blow from his father infected him with his energy and created his Inner Hollow, who took his father's name as a taunt to Ishpaleum. Fortunately, both his inner Hollow and he saw the benefits of mutual agreements, and so proved to be an effective team.

For many millenia after that, Ish would appear at random intervals in time, causing chaos, beginning and ending wars, shaping both human and Shinigami history as he saw fit. Without Shinnok to sustain them, the Hollows had become little more than mindless beasts, showing no purpose but to fill their bellies. Ish would eventually become the bearer of many dieties, who sought to use him to assert control over the Earth in Shinnok's place. Unfortunately for them, they underestimated Ish's willpower, and he eventually cast them out by unleashing his full power for the second time. However, doing this meant that he had to take up the mantle of Guardian of Earth, which he has done for about ten thousand years now. (Although time is tricky up in the heavens... doesn't work quite the same as on Earth.) Growing bored of this, Ish promoted the Reaper to a higher station, that of Death itself (as per their arrangement) then left.

-------------------------------
Only a maximum of twenty clones Ish, I know how much you go overboard with this
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bankai appearance: The aura grows massively, then condenses down so that it barely covers Ish's body. It is actually much thicker at this point, but is mostly invisible due to its high density. Ish's body is covered in a black armor with gold trimmings, which is impervious to any but the strongest of attacks (high powered Captains in Bankai.)
------------------------
High Lieutenant, or average level Bankai level please
--------------------------------------------------------------

When his Bankai is activated, all beings that are not spiritually aware within a 100 meter radius will lose all of their lifeforce, effectively killing them if it is not returned. Lifeforce will begin to drain steadily from any being that does not have a Captain-level reaitsu or higher, taking about 20 posts to drain completely (when hit subtract 2).

Ish's aura abilities will at this point double in their effectiveness with the exception of his speed, allowing him a 50% reduction in all damage and the ability to form large structures from lifeforce.
--------------------------------------------------
1st part, no, you must harvest souls yourself, no activating bankai and becoming godly.
2nd Make it Lieutenant level
3rd 30% tops man, 50% shaved off the top of all forms of damage is insane considering it is already difficult to break through the reitsu barrier
-------------------------------------------------------

Either have a max of three posts mask lasting amount, or not have this ability, take a pick
