Amala Kshatriya (アマラ·クシャトリヤ, Amara Kushatoriya), was an Echt Quincy and a member of Yhwach's Sternritter, with the designation "S" — "The Scathefire", 1000 years ago. In the setting of Bleach: Equilibrium, she is a member of the modern Wandenreich with the designation "X" — "The Xeransis".
Appearance[]
Amala is a taller than average woman with a tight physical build, packed with visible musculature, but not overly so, as well as dark skin. She has naturally black hair, that is dyed a rather striking shade of green, which is styled up into a short mohawk, that hangs down over her fringe in three ends, a short crop of hair remains around the mohawk so that she doesn't look bald. She has thin black eyebrows that are shaved into notches on the end of the left side whilst the right eyebrow has an earring embedded in it close to the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are sharp and angular with blue pupils. Her nose has a long bridge ending in a short and stubby tip with similarly short nostrils that tend to be flared out often. Her attire is a variation of the Sternritter uniform, consisting of a lengthy white hooded cloak that has openings on all four of its sides. Underneath that, she foregoes the typical trenchcoat in favour of a simple black sleeveless vest with a pair of white braces going over either of her shoulders that attach to her trousers with leather tabs. Her trousers are, aside from the tabs, the typical uniform trousers worn by Sternritter coupled with a pair of black military boots.

Powers & Abilities[]
Expert Swordsman: Amala is highly killed in the use of her Spirit Weapon, wielding it with no visible defincies despite its rather enforced stationary position. With it she can easily go head-to-head against Shinigami specializing in swordfighting and usually come out on top. Her fighting style relies on bringing enemies in close, often through use of her hands or by boxing them in through other means, before delivering a flurry of thrust attacks wih the intent of driving her sword through her opponent's heart. Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: A natural rough houser, Amala's preferred form of combat revolves around her two arms and two legs. She has a great deal of physical strength thanks near-constant use of Blut Arterie which she focuses entirely on delivering the strongest punches she possibly can. She fights with no particular style, relying mostly on her own know-how and knowledge garnered through passing observation. Thus her fighting style can be said to be a half assed amalgamation of other styles, with a mix of wrestling, Eastern martial arts, and some blind swinging. Though largely self-taught, she has proven to be very skilled in unarmed combat, quite easily taking on and besting several professionals as powerful as Shinigami. Enhanced Durability: Perhaps Amala's most unique strength among the Quincy is her incredible fortitude. She does not rely on Blut Vene as other members of the Wandenreich do, instead she has reinforced her physical body through extreme training measures and bolstering of her physical traits through spiritual energy. She has stated that it took more than one hundred years in order to develop her body to a degree that could be considered comparable to that of an average Shinigami, and more to take it to the point she has reached. As a result of this training, she can withstand attacks that would instantly kill most Humans with relative ease. Spiritual Awareness: As a Quincy, Amala is capable of sensing the presence of spiritual beings and others with spiritual power. Her spiritual senses are highly developed and accurate, easily able to discern one identity from another and use it to pinpoint the locations of where she wishes to strike at range without relying on her eyesight. She claims to trust her spiritual senses more than her own eyes due to her tendency to get easily worked up which in her words "leaves [her] seeing nothing but red". Great Spiritual Power: Amala boasted a great deal of spiritual power for a Human, clearly indicated by her status as a Sternritter. Even before her ascension to the ranks she was considered strong enough to be on par with Bazz-B, her rival, in strength. Her Reiryoku is unique in that, due to her Epithet, it is almost entirely invisible to the naked eye, appearing as little more than a shimmer of heat if focused on. It acts as an elemental representative of fire in this manner. |
Reishi Absorption & Manipulation: Like all Quincy, Amala primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the environment in order to fuel her techniques and abilities. She is extremely skilled at doing so, pulling in a great quantity of Reishi in a very short amount of time, combining it with her Reiryoku and then immediately sending it back out in immense shows of force. She has great aptitude for micro-managing the intake and outtake of her energy, never expending too much than necessary, even when at the height of her anger. She typically configures spirit particles into a heat based form, making most of her weapons and attacks near invisible, except for a discernible shimmer brought on by intense heat though she can just as easily create objects in the more common "blue light" associated with Quincy and their tools.
|
Alternative Powers & Abilities[]
Schatten (自己韜晦 (シャドー), Shaten; German for "Shadow"; Japanese for "Concealing One's Position"): A power supposedly restricted "to the chosen ones", it allows the Quincy to form a portal from their very own shadows, raising their hand to cast it over a surface which then extends far above and forming into a Quincy cross. The portal is capable of transporting entire groups of people. |
The Xeransis (焼灼 (ザ・ゼランシス), Shōsaku (Za Zeransisu); Japanese for "Cauterize"): by manipulating the Reishi in the environment, Amala can generate intense bursts of heat around herself, whether remotely or directly in order to attack her opponents. On a generic level she can rapidly increase the temperature of the surrounding area, but more overt cases cause her to create near invisible waves of pure heat that carry a terrifying amount of power. Though Amala has mentioned that her heat is weaker than Bazz-B's flames, they were capable of matching up to the latter's firepower. They could also melt through stone and metals extremely quickly, and even melt through other objects made of spiritual particles.[1]
|
Itohari (糸針, Threaded Needle): Her Spirit Weapon takes the form of a pata, though due to the unique composition of Amala's Reishi, it is typically rendered invisible. When formed through regular means, it takes the form of a silver-steel gauntlet-sword, with a 104cm long double-edged straight blade integrated into an embossed gauntlet that goes over Amala's right forearm. There is an oval-shaped portion between the majority of the gauntlet and the blade.
Quincy: Vollständig[]Shashiel (神の日輪 (シャシエル), Shashieru; Japanese for "Sunburst of God"): After gathering a certain amount of heat from the environment Amala is able to activate the Quincy: Vollständig. Revealing a small earring, she clips it on to her right ear, which causes her Blut to activate in response, blaring out across a large portion of her face. Instead of the typical blue however, the energy manifests itself as white and causes her right eye's pupil to change in the same manner giving it a more striking appearance. Long spindly arms emerge from her back, initially folded in to give the appearance of unusual wings, they can be folded out to reveal their true appearance. They appear to be made up of a mish-mash of metal and bone and each arm has only three digits, they are extremely long once unfurled, being almost twice as long as Amala is tall. A tail also sprouts from her back, closer to her waist. It is made up of a series of segmented joints, each covered by bone plates, not unlike Hihiō Zabimaru, like the wings the tail terminates into a hand with three digits. Her arms are also covered in black tattoos designed after sprawling flames. These tattoos briefly glow orange whenever she activates a technique. The appendages, like most of Amala's abilities are invisible to the naked eye, and are even invisible to her without the aid of her right eye which is the only thing capable of perceiving them.

Trivia[]
- Amala (अमल) is a Sanskrit word meaning "clean, pure". Amala's surname denotes her caste among Indian society, Kshatriya, the warriors.

Roleplay | Collapse |
The Bonheur Brothers (ボヌール・ブラザーズ, Bonūru Burazāzu) were a collection of siblings that served Yhwach's Sternritter, each carrying the designation "C" — "The Cohesion", 1000 years ago. There were eight of them in total, with Gustave (グスタフ, Gusutafu) assuming responsibility for them all. Following him were Joseph (ヨセフ, Yosefu), Florent (フローラン, Furōran), Sylvain (シルバン, Shiruban), Vaquette (バクイーツ, Bakuītu), Ducos (デュコ, Deyuko), Ragon (ラゴン, Ragon) and Reffye (レピ, Repi). In the continuity of Bleach: Equilibrium, they serve as members of the modern Wandenreich, where, curiously each of them carries the prefix Henri- (アンリ, Anri) before their names.
Appearance[]
Despite each brother being one year apart in age, they all look remarkably the same, to the degree that they are often mistaken for identical octuplets. Each of the brothers is bald, a fact they take pride in, with each of them taking great care to polish their heads each day. The shape of their heads are fairly oval-like, leading some to remark upon them as being egg heads. They have generally clean facial features, though each of them sport a long crooked nose and square-ish brows. All of them have dark orange eyes. All of them wear a pair of glasses with blackened, rectangular lenses and a simple grey frame. They wear the same outfit, a variant of the Wandenreich uniform consisting of a white double-breasted trench coat and a white, button-down bib. Over their right shoulders they wear a steel spaulder with a long white cape attached that hangs over the right side of their bodies. Each of their left hands are covered by a black glove with its pinky and ring finger removed and a single white line running down the center as well as a single spiked protrusion emerging from each side of the wrist. The coat is held tight at the waist by a large black belt adorned with a decorative buckle, which is further worn over a pair of white trousers and sleek, black trench boots. They top off this ensemble with white military caps with black peeks and the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on the front.
Personality[]
Not only are the brothers eerily similar in appearance, they are also very like minded to such a degree that some believe they are some kind of phenomenon, Girado La Rissa believes that they may be linked by some sort of subconscious hive mind, going to all sorts of extremes in order to experiment on the brothers. They are all very polite towards others, greeting others with a formal bow out of respect and doing their collective best to ensure that others are comfortable in their presence, though they often have the misfortune of causing discomfort instead, thanks to their odd mannerisms. They are helpful and well meaning individuals, though they are somewhat clumsy and prone to moments of airheadedness. They can be enamored by very simple things, such as the particular flavour of tea blends, so much so that they become oblivious to anything else for extended periods of time until something shakes them out of it. Each brother has a tendency to reply to questioning by saying "yes" in a language that is not their own, particularly the Russian slang variant "Nu", odd given their focus on politeness and formality.
Plot[]
Bleach: Equilibrium[]
The brothers interfere in the fight between Aileen McFarlane and Naoko Murakami, whisking the Quincy away from the latter's attack. Henri-Gustave greets the Balancer of Souls while Henri-Ragon asked of Aileen's wellbeing. The remaining siblings set up in a firing formation, unleashing several volleys of Heilig Pfeil at Naoko, though she managed to avoid them, the Balancer was caught by Aileen who had followed up the volleys with a surprise attack, which itself was followed up by an omni-directional attack from the Bonheur siblings whilst inadvertently allowing them to avoid Naoko's counterattack.
In a short game of one-up-manship, Naoko avoided and attempted to counter the Quincy onslaught with an attack aimed at Aileen, only to be repelled herself by one of the French Quincy utilizing Seele Schneider.
As the fighting continued, the brothers formed a new firing line, using it to create a pincer attack with their fellow Quincy on the Balancer who responded by slamming her blade into the earth, using its powers to tear up chunks of rock to impede her attackers before lunging out once more at the female Quincy. Thanks to the enhancement granted by their proximity to one another, the arrows fired by the Bonheur family smashed through the rock effortleslly and continued after the Marshal of the East.
After imprisoning Aileen within a cage of electrical energy, Naoko turned her attention to the brothers, bringing down a powerful bolt of lightning combined with her Otoko technique to generate a series of powerful explosions that the brothers escape from though not without sustaining numerous burns, weakened only by quick use of Blute Vene.
The fight continued, though its strain began to wear on its Human participants resulting in the female Quincy being knocked unconscious. Noticing her descent from the air, Henri-Gustave launches after Aileen while his brothers provide cover with a storm of Heilig Pfeil. Though Naoko was able to weave through much of the ensuing hail, she was eventually caught in the attack, producing an explosion in the aftermath.
She broke free from the forming smoke cloud, directing a bolt of lightning at the brothers who scattered from the area excluding Henri-Ragon who, unable to escape the attack in time, blocked the attack with his arms leaving his clothing melted and the flesh of his arms boiled and burned. Once again the sibling fired upon the Balancer though this time, they broke down their arrows as she avoided them, with a nearby Henri-Gustave crushing a Gintō tube in his hand and using the liquified Reishi in order to ignite the unstable spiritual particles to generate an intense ball of fire that swallowed the Marshal.
With the flames providing them cover, the Quincy fled the battlefield to recover.[2]
Equipment[]
Quincy Cross: A symbol that sets each Quincy apart, as well as the source of their powers. It is believed to grow in power alongside its wielder, possibly even changing in shape to reflect that growth. Each of the brothers carry a cross, all bearing a smiliar design, that is shaped like the pontifical cross. On each cross one of the crossbars are coloured differently from the rest in order to differentiate each brother from the next.
Seele Schneider (魂を切り裂くもの (ゼーレシュナイダー), Zēreshunaidā; German for "Soul Cutter", Japanese for "That Which Slits the Soul"): A thin silver-coloured tool with a small rectangular hook on the bottom, large enough to fit a single finger, is a weapon used by the Quincy that bears great resemblance to a sword when activated, in particular by generating a beam of spiritual energy that takes the shape of a blade, but is in fact a very powerful arrow. The Reishi that makes up the glowing blue blade of a Seele Schneider travel at an amazing speed, making three million round trips across the edge per second. The vibrations generated by this are not only meant for cutting, but also to weaken the bonds between the spiritual energy of whatever it happens to cut thus making them easier for a Quincy to capture. A battle for the Quincy is one of gathering surrounding Reishi to use as a weapon making the Seele Schneider the most potent manifestation to this principle. Its functionality as a spiritual weapon makes it better against those who are physically powerful as a spiritual impact will always over power a physical impact of equal strength.
Sanrei Glove: Each of the Bonheur brothers don a Sanrei Glove and have since completed the training allowing them access to the obsolete Quincy: Letzt Stil and its successor, the Quincy: Vollständig.
Powers & Abilities[]
Master Marksmen: Each of the brothers carry immense skill in the wielding of ranged weaponry, rifles in particular. While teamwork is the best natural feat of the siblings, they are all terrifyingly dangerous opponents alone when it comes to a battle of archery or guns. They are each capable of loosing Heilig Pfeil with deadly accuracy and precision across extreme ranges, even striking targets simultaneously with barely an instance of lag between shots. Expert Swordsmen: The Bonheur brothers have each undertaken study of swordsmanship to better utilize the Seele Schneider in its default state, specifically they have come studied the use of rapiers and schools of swordsmanship focused around that type of sword though they can fight just as well using less obvious style-specific skills if required. Though there are a great many of opponents on a higher level than them, the brothers make use of flawless teamwork to bring down enemies quickly through simultaneous and continuous flurries of attacks made in unison. Keen Intellect & Excellent Athleticism: The brothers are each of able mind and body, with well trained physiques that have left them well suited to physical tasks. They have keen acumen in battle, proving themselves able to predict and overcome powerful opponents, remaining at least one step ahead of them for the vast majority of a conflict. Spiritual Awareness: The ability to sense spiritual energy and percieve spiritual beings is a rare skill that primarily manifests in humans after long exposure to a quantity of spiritual energy above a certain point. All Quincy are capable of this feat, as such, all of the Bonheur brothers have access to it. High Spiritual Power: Individually, each of the Bonheur brothers have spiritual power on par with a Shinigami Lieutenant. When exerted as a physical presence, their spiritual energy takes on a colouration akin to Aero. |
Reishi Absorption & Manipulation: All spiritually powerful beings utilize Reiryoku when fighting, but they are also paired with secondary aspects in order to create entirely divergent fighting styles and unique abilities. In the case of the Shinigami, they utilize the spiritual energy generated from their soul alongside a Zanpakutō to combat their enemies; essentially a power from within themselves. In direct contrast the Quincy draw in Reishi from the environment around them in order to form weapons and empower various techniques; a power garnered from the outside. They absorb this energy into their bodies and shape it according to their whims to devastating effect. This not only makes them a threat to Hollows and Shinigami on a general level, but when in places such as Hueco Mundo and Soul Society it essentially makes them living Gods, as these realms are composed entirely of Reishi and thus subject to the Quincy ability to absorb and transform it. When coupled with such a power as the Quincy: Vollständig they can even absorb the bodies of spiritual beings to take on their characteristics.

Alternative Powers & Abilities[]
Schatten (自己韜晦 (シャドー), Shaten; German for "Shadow"; Japanese for "Concealing One's Position"): A power supposedly restricted "to the chosen ones", it allows the Quincy to form a portal from their very own shadows, raising their hand to cast it over a surface which then extends far above and forming into a Quincy cross. The portal is capable of transporting entire groups of people. |
Reishi Rifles: Concentrating Reishi and Reiryoku into physical forms, the Bonheur brothers are capable of forging weapons at will to use in combat. They have a shared preference for an ornate rifle with a Flintlock-type mechanism and a silver line pattern across the body that stands out oddly against the flame-like and unsolid form of the rest of the weapon.
Quincy: Vollständig[]Sariel (神の令 (サリエル), Sarieru; Japanese for "Command of God"): Not Yet Revealed. |
Trivia[]
- Each of the Bonheur brothers are named after French military men or engineers responsible for innovations and designs that advanced technology of the time.
- Henri-Gustave Delvigne was a French soldier and engineer, attaining the rank of captain before resigning at the onset of theJuly Revolution in 1830. He revolutioned rifle technology of the time, rendering it serviceable as a weapon.
- Henri-Joseph Paixhans was a French artillery officer at the beginning of the 19th century and the inventor of the first shell guns, which came to be called Paixhans guns, that annihilated wooden ships thus triggering the iron hull revolution in shipbuilding.
- Florent-Jean de Vallière was a French artillery officer in the 18th century where he became the Director-General of the Battalions and Schools of the Artillery. He sought to reorganize and improve upon the founding of cannons, replacing the system developed by Jean-Jacques Keller with the Vallière system, which set the standard for French artillery at the time.
- Sylvain Charles Valée was a Marshal of France and the developer of the Valée system to improve upon the Gribeauval system and Napoleon's Year XI system.
- Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval was a French artillery officer and engineer during the Napoleonic Wars where his Gribeauval system, replacing the de Vallière system, proved key in several battles for the French under Napoleon. Credited as the earliest advocate for the interchangeability of gun parts, he is thus one of the principal influences in the development of interchangeable manufacturing.
- Jean-Ernest Ducos de La Hitte was a major general in the French military, a senator, and, foreign minister. He developed the La Hitte system for rifle-muzzle loaded guns, replacing smooth-bore guns of previous systems, leading to the first known usage of riffled cannons on the battlefield.
- Charles Ragon de Bange was a Polytechnician and French artillery colonel, he developed the Système de Bange, a field gun system consisting of various calibers that served the French military through out World War I. He also invented the first effective obturator system for breech-loading artillery, the basic principle of which is still widely used in the modern day.
- Jean-Baptiste Verchère de Reffye was a French artillery general, and an ordinance officer under Napoleon III. He developed the Reffye mitrailleuse, one of the best early machine guns, which saw use in the Franco-Prussian War. He also served a key role in introducing rifled breech-loading cannons, replacing the La Hitte system. He developed several guns under this system such as the Reffye 85mm and 75mm cannons.
- Bonheur is a French surname meaning "good luck".
- Sariel is one of the archangels, primarily of the Judaic tradition. He is a prince of presence, like Metatron, an angel of healing, like Raphael, and Moses is believed to have attained all of his knowledge from Sariel, something also attributed to Zazagel. He was chosen to represent the Vollständig of the brothers, in part, due to the number of variations applied to his name, allowing them to essentially share the same name with different wording.
- The colour associated with the brothers is French Skyblue, a shade of blue which, in Japanese colour culture, represents rationality, life, loyalty, and, peace.

Carmen la Sirena (カルメン・ラ・シレナ, Karumen Ra Shirena) was an Echt Quincy of Yhwach's Sternritter, holding the designation "Z" — "The Zygosis", 1000 years ago. In the continuity of Bleach: Equilibrium, she is a member of the modern Wandenreich.
Appearance[]
Carmen is tall with an extremely feminine figure, one that leaves little to be desired as if engineered for sex appeal. She is fit, though lacking a high amount of muscle definition and her complexion is that of an almost bronzish tan brought on by excessive sunbathing. She has long hair, a mix of golden and hazel in colouration, that stretches far down her back where it is tied at the end by a set of blue and white ribbons. Her bangs extend out to cover her forehead making her hair style look like that of a hime cut. Two tufts of her hair, resting over either side of her face are tied with the same ribbons as the back, creating two tails that reach down to her rather impressively sized bust. Her facial features are soft and delicate with emphasis placed on those points considered attractive by modern standards of beauty. Her eyes are angled with overlong and shadowed lashes and a slight constant lidding to them that give her a natural "come hither" look. Above them are thin eyebrows that curve over her eyes. Her nose is small overall though with a prominent bridge. Her lips are somewhat pursed, and a little puffy, accentuated by crimson lipstick. A blue ribbon wraps around her neck, ending in two tails that trail off to the right side. She adorns herself with a customized version of the Sternritter uniform, consisting of the signature hooded cloak beneath which she wears a white cheongsam that extends down as far as her shins, the dress also comes with short sleeves. The bottom of the dress is slitted on either side, exposing her legs which are largely covered by a pair of thigh-length boots.
Personality[]
History[]
Equipment[]
Quincy Cross (滅却十字 (クインシー・クロス), Kuinshī Kurosu; Japanese for "Destruction Cross"): The apparent source of a Quincy's power, a tool that grows with them as they do, evolving as the power of that Quincy increases. Carmen's takes the shape of a Thieves' Cross, made up of a single line that forks into two points creating a Y-shape. A chain is attached to the bottom causing it to appear upside down. She wears this cross around the wrist of her right hand.
Seele Schneider (魂を切り裂くもの (ゼーレシュナイダー), Zēreshunaidā; German for "Soul Cutter", Japanese for "That Which Slits the Soul"): A thin silver-coloured tool with a small rectangular hook on the bottom, large enough to fit a single finger, is a weapon used by the Quincy that bears great resemblance to a sword when activated, in particular by generating a beam of spiritual energy that takes the shape of a blade, but is in fact a very powerful arrow. The Reishi that makes up the glowing blue blade of a Seele Schneider travel at an amazing speed, making three million round trips across the edge per second. The vibrations generated by this are not only meant for cutting, but also to weaken the bonds between the spiritual energy of whatever it happens to cut thus making them easier for a Quincy to capture. A battle for the Quincy is one of gathering surrounding Reishi to use as a weapon making the Seele Schneider the most potent manifestation to this principle. Its functionality as a spiritual weapon makes it better against those who are physically powerful as spiritual impact will always over power a physical impact of equal strength. Carmen carries only two of these on her person at any one time, preferring to rely on other abilities, though keeping a limited number for strategic purposes.
Sanrei Medicine: Carmen keeps a small steel pillbox on her person, within which are a set of medicinal capsules, each of which are half white and half blue and emblazoned with the Wandenreich symbol on their form. For Carmen they are capable of simulating the abilities of the Sanrei Glove, allowing her to utilize Quincy: Vollständig by ingesting one of these pills. Due to the unique nature of her Epithet power, Carmen can actually use these to activate her Vollständig whilst in possession of a Shinigami's Bankai.
Powers & Abilities[]
Master Archer: Spiritual Awareness: Great Spiritual Power: The spiritual power of High-Spec Humans, even Quincy, is typically much smaller than their spiritual counterparts but it is not a state that is set in stone as made clear by the sheer power presented by Wandenreich's Stern Ritter who were clearly on par, if not above, Shinigami Captains in strength. |
Reishi Absorption & Manipulation: All spiritually powerful beings utilize Reiryoku when fighting, but they are also paired with secondary aspects in order to create entirely divergent fighting styles and unique abilities. In the case of the Shinigami, they utilize the spiritual energy generated from their soul alongside a Zanpakutō to combat their enemies; essentially a power from within themselves. In direct contrast the Quincy draw in Reishi from the environment around them in order to form weapons and empower various techniques; a power garnered from the outside. They absorb this energy into their bodies and shape it according to their whims to devastating effect. This not only makes them a threat to Hollows and Shinigami on a general level, but when in places such as Hueco Mundo and Soul Society it essentially makes them living Gods, as these realms are composed entirely of Reishi and thus subject to the Quincy ability to absorb and transform it. When coupled with such a power as the Quincy: Vollständig they can even absorb the bodies of spiritual beings to take on their characteristics.
|
Heilig Lanze (神聖滅投槍 (ハイリッヒ・ランス), Hairihhi Ransu; German for "Holy Lance"; Japanese for "Sacred Destruction Throwing Spear") Carmen is able to freely manifest large spears which she uses in melee combat, or as thrown projectiles. They appear as ornate, solid weapons, consisting of steel hafts with golden heads and pommels, as well as silver-ringed adornments on either side of the head. They stand taller than Carmen herself, though she is capable of wielding them with incredible ease, such that she is often seen using two or more of them simultaneously. She can create them in her hands, or, when thrown, conjure them around her other spears. She can even summon them from thin air around herself, using them as impromptu projectiles to further catch her opponents off-guard. They possess great destructive power, easily destroying stone and dealing damage to Captain-level Shinigami. While initially believed to be her Spirit Weapon, Carmen's spears are in actuality, a form of Heilig Pfeil.

Alternative Powers & Abilities[]
Schatten (自己韜晦 (シャドー), Shaten; German for "Shadow"; Japanese for "Concealing One's Position"): A power supposedly restricted "to the chosen ones", it allows the Quincy to form a portal from their very own shadows, raising their hand to cast it over a surface which then extends far above and forming into a Quincy cross. The portal is capable of transporting entire groups of people. |
Ucellino (ウセリノ, Userino; Italian for "Little Bird"): By gathering together Reishi and mixing it with her own Reiryoku, Carmen is capable of constructing her own Spirit Weapon. It is a large collapsible arbalest, that looks to be little more than a massive slab at first glance. A set of arched limbs are capable of being spread out or retracted at will from the top-front of the body, the rest of the top looking like the bed of a ballista for propelling bolts. It has a two-pronged handle on the bottom that is attached to a railing. Typically resting at the front, it can be pulled back to the center allowing Carmen to use it as a makeshift shield.
|
Quincy: Vollständig[]Dobiel (神の呪い (ドビエル), Dobieru; Japanese for "Curse of God"): Carmen can only activate her Vollständig after having used her Zygosis in order to make four abilities her own. They do not have to be different abilities, so long as they are captured at differing times (Such as taking one power, exchanging it for another, and then taking the former once again). Once this requirement is satisfied, Carmen can achieve this form by ingesting a medicinal capsule designed to simulate the release of a Sanrei Glove. With it she gains a halo above her head in the shape of five flower petals stretching out to create a star in the same vein as the Quincy Zeichen encircled by a thorn covered vine. Her dress changes, becoming something more akin to a ball-gown with the lowerhalf layered in such a way as to resemble an unbloomed flower. Her legs transform into several lumbering vines that appear to be capable of stretching to massive lengths, her hands as well change, taking on a green hue and appearing to take the form of a massive gathering of leaves fused together into the shape of arms and hands. A set of four wings sprout from her back, each of them taking the form of a lengthy and large stem surrounded by wide-brimming leaves.
|
Trivia[]
- Carmen is the medieval Spanish form of Carmel and is influenced by the Latin word carmen, meaning "song". Sirena is the Italian word for the Siren, a mythological creature that would lure sailors to their death through song.
- The colour associated with Carmen is French Raspberry, a shade of pink (Itself a shade of red) which, in Japanese colour culture, represents children, eroticism, and, health.

HK-105 (エイチ・ケイ・ワン・オー・ファイブ, Aychi Kei Wan Au Faibu) is a synthetic organism with Quincy abilities designed by Timothy Jones, taking partial design aspects from BG9. As a Sternritter it is designated with the epithet "J" — "The Judgement".
Appearance[]
As it was based upon BG9, HK-105 shares many physical similarities with the other mechanized Quincy. It dons a helmet of closely related design, though the peak has an additional set of spikes that curve around to either side. The jawline of the helmet also has an additional pair of guards running across its length, the only thing visible within the helmet is a single white-blue eye. HK-105 typically dons a high collared white cloak like its counterpart, beneath which lies its body, primarily made up grey or white plates constructed from soul-synthesized metals. Its chest resembles the design of a chainmail jerkin, and comes with a black high collar that loops into a pair of criss crossing straps that loop under the arms. They meet at the neck, where an emblem of the Wandenreich is emblazoned. Its waist is adorned with a belt and further covered by an armoured skirt, a series of plates attached to the belt lower down to cover a portion of the skirt's sides and a pair of upward facing arrows rest on the front-bottom of the skirt. The skirt is also lined with black cloth, a single white lin running across its length at the center. HK's arms are covered by a padded material in a ribbed design, similiar to BG9's body, the shoulders are formed into large pauldrons with three tubes set into them that act as missile launchers. The hands are relatively simple, appearing to have cufflinks around the wrists and plain white gloves covering the large appendage that imitates the design of the Human hand. Its legs retain the the chainmail-like design of its chest, though with a pair of fitted greaves atop the thighs and knees. A mettalic cuff rests on the boots to loop around the back.
Personality[]
HK-105 is a largely silent individual, rarely speaking unless it personally has information to divuldge about a situation or is responding to something asked of it. It is straight forward in nature, wasting no time with small talk or menial activities instead focusing only on whatever task is at hand. It obeys the commands of other Quincy unquestioningly, especially those of its creator, simply acting on them as given. It is protective of those same Quincy, going out of its way to prevent attacks against them or otherwise protect them from danger, such was the case when it defended Timothy from an attack by Dan Tai Sin and attempted to assist Kerri Byrne with the unusual nature of her power as Sternritter "I".
Design Specifications[]
Exterior and Internal General Components: HK-105 is constructed of particularly hardy materials. Soul-synthesized metal plates that have undergone a great amount of tempering and reforging processes in order to to create a protective shell on par with that of spiritual bodies, or more commonly for Quincy, the defensive power of Blut Vene. These plates are set up across specific points on HK-105's body in order to create a tight-knit barrier that can absorb a large degree of punishment and further minimize harm to other areas by providing a wide field in which to absorb the force of an attack. The interior of HK is a mesh of wires and fragile hardware, wrapped around a skeletal frame of reinforced and mobilized struts that allow the machine to move as it does. The great deal of hardware packed into its form give it an almost Human likeness, as if shaped into organs and veins, particularly a framework of wires that follow along the struts of the body. At first glance, these pieces of machinery would appear integral to HK-105's functioning but are largely supplementary by design as it only requires that its central processor, contained within its eye, and its Reiryoku core remains undamaged. HK-105 has the capacity to alter and reconstruct these parts of itself as they are non-essential to its functioning, giving its body a great deal of versatility in battle.
- Eye / Quincy Cross: The source of a Quincy's power, and an object that evolves and grows with them as their owner does. HK-105's is inset into the orb-shaped eye within its head. Shaped like a snowflake, it remains invisible to most people as the light generated by the automaton's eye engulfs and hides the cross from view. The cross is made up of a hexagonal center with six points extending from its edges, each of these points has three more points branching out from either side of them. A marvel of design, each individual Reishi that composes HK-105's Quincy cross is imprinted with microscopic hardware, compacted to such a degree that they are invisible without the aid of inhuman perceptions. Essentially, the Quincy Cross is outfitted with enough nanomachine-like hardware and software to function as a supercomputer, acting as HK-105's brain.
- Reiryoku Core: A large spherical cluster contained within HK-105's chassis and essentially its heart. It is made up of machinery encased around fragments of Reiryoku which have coalesced into a soul. Through this core HK-105 is capable of producing Reiryoku within itself and the machinery contained within are designed as such to aid in this production, creating an efficient process that generates more Reiryoku than would be typically seen from a non-living being. The exterior of this core is protected by various layers of metals in order to create an impregnable case as the core serves as HK-105's heart.
- Missile Launchers: Mounted into each of HK-105's shoulders are three firing tubes and the required systems needed for maintaining and launching missiles, they are typically used as a substitute for HK's Spirit Weapon, as it simply fills the tubes with Reishi before shifting the form into those of missiles. Though they don't often due so, the firing tubes are designed and capable of being equipped with real missiles as used by military forces in the Human World.
Powers & Abilities[]
Incredible Strength: (Under Construction) Enhanced Durability: (Under Construction) Spiritual Awareness: (Under Construction) Great Spiritual Power: (Under Construction) |
Reishi Absorption & Manipulation: All spiritually powerful beings utilize Reiryoku when fighting, but they are also paired with secondary aspects in order to create entirely divergent fighting styles and unique abilities. In the case of the Shinigami, they utilize the spiritual energy generated from their soul alongside a Zanpakutō to combat their enemies; essentially a power from within themselves. In direct contrast the Quincy draw in Reishi from the environment around them in order to form weapons and empower various techniques; a power garnered from the outside. They absorb this energy into their bodies and shape it according to their whims to devastating effect. This not only makes them a threat to Hollows and Shinigami on a general level, but when in places such as Hueco Mundo and Soul Society it essentially makes them living Gods, as these realms are composed entirely of Reishi and thus subject to the Quincy ability to absorb and transform it. When coupled with such a power as the Quincy: Vollständig they can even absorb the bodies of spiritual beings to take on their characteristics.
Schatten (自己韜晦 (シャドー), Shaten; German for "Shadow"; Japanese for "Concealing One's Position"): A power supposedly restricted "to the chosen ones", it allows the Quincy to form a portal from their very own shadows, raising their hand to cast it over a surface which then extends far above and forming into a Quincy cross. The portal is capable of transporting entire groups of people. |
Reishi Gatling Gun: By pulling in external Reishi and combining it with internal Reiryoku, HK-105 is capable of forming a Spirit Weapon. It takes the form of a massive gatling gun, the Quincy's arm is transformed into a large rectangular platform with three cyllindrical shafts attached to the sides and top, each of the shafts carrying eight barrels to them. Each shaft is emblazoned with the Wandenreich symbol and the entire body of the object is formed of soul-synthesized steels.
Quincy: Vollständig[]Daniel (神の裁 (ダニエル), Danieru; Japanese for "Judge of God"): Not Yet Revealed. |
Trivia[]
- HK-105 is named after HK-47, a popular character from the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, the 105 designation is a further reference to the character, who was named after the AK-47, in this case, HK-105 is named after the AK-105.
- Suikō (遂行) though translated here as "accomplishment" can also be translated as "execution", though the intent of the meaning differs, the word's implications are more in line with HK-105's abilities.
- Daniel is the seventh mentioned of the 20 Watchers in the Book of Enoch. Daniel taught the "signs of the Sun" to humans.
- The colour associated with HK-105 is Azure, a shade of blue which, in Japanese colour culture, represents coldness, peace, loyalty, rationality, and, life.

Roleplay | Restitution |
Vitor Zeferino (ゼペリノ・ビトー, Zeperino Bitō) was an Echt Quincy and member of the Sternritter, designated "P" — "The Perspicacious", 1000 years ago. In the continuity of Bleach: Equilibrium, he is a member of the modern Wandenreich and carries the designation "L" — "The Lore".
Appearance[]
A rather diminutive man with a stocky physical build and a presence that lurches forward, presenting the image of a tired and weakened old man. He has exceedingly long, ragged hair, that is setup into numerous dreadlocks and tied near the bottom to pull it all into a long tail behind himself, his hair reaches all the way down his back, stopping just short of the ground. His face is absolutely covered in wrinkles, a trio of dark spots resting on his left cheek as well. His brows press out slightly, with rather bushy eyebrows atop them. His eyes take on a square-ish look and his eyelids typically droop down somewhat making it appear as if Vitor is going to fall asleep at any moment. He has a down facing nose, with a curved bridge and thin nostrils. His lips are somewhat craggy-looking, caused by an old habit of biting his lips whilst nervous. He wears a variation of the standard Wandenreich uniform, consisting of a short uniform jacket, with a pair of breast pockets, a single line of buttons running down the center. The jacket has a single shoulder strap on the left side, with a buckle resting on the right that clasps down on the Sternritter cloak he wears over the jacket like a blanket. A black belt wraps around his waist with a golden buckle on the front, the center of which carries the Wandenreich symbol emblazoned on it. He wears the typical white trousers of other Wandenreich Quincy, but foregoes the trench boots in favour of a pair of black plastic sandals and grey socks to cover his feet.
Personality[]
Vitor is a very lively individual despite his advanced age, or perhaps even because of it, seemingly always cheery, he speaks in casual tones and acts in a calm and relaxed manner. He finds great humour in his age, that he is older than most Humans will ever be, but is still a child in comparison to most Souls, and is even dwarfed in years by fellow Quincy such as Roshan Bamshad and Emperor Yhwach himself, though they look far younger than himself. He claims that he is as relaxed as he is because he has already achieved everything that he set out to do in his life and is comfortable with allowing whatever else may come, he finds meaning in what remains of his time as a Human by acting as a "support structure to the generations after [his]", as he puts it. Though it has extended to beings that came before him as well, as he often acts as counsel for Roshan. Though aware of how the cycle of reincarnation works, Vitor remains uneager to court death in order to speed up the process as he believes he can still be useful as he is, at the same time an underlying fear niggles at him that he may end up in Hell for his actions as a warrior of the Wandenreich.
History[]
Equilibrium[]
Vitor was born in the year 1910, in the city of Grajaú, within Brazil. His family were amongst a group of Quincy that resided within a Roman Catholic monastery in the city, using the faith to take away from the secrecy of their real teachings. Vitor spent much of his youth learning Capoeira alongside learning of his heritage as a Quincy, a retainer of seemingly dying knowledge and skills. His growth was slow at first, only becoming capable of forming the basic Quincy bow, Kojaku (弧雀, Arc Sparrow) when he was 15 years of age. He found his niche not long after that, and sped along from then on, he developed his own Spirit Weapon in the form several Reishi Hurlbats, he would soon learn to integrate them with his developing Capoeira skills, combining them through the use of the rare Ransōtengai (乱装天傀; lit. "Heavenly Wild Puppet Suit") technique. He remained outside of political conflicts in his homeland due to prevention by his fellow Quincy, though he made fringe efforts from the shadows, a popular rumour of a young man wielding axes of blue fire cropping up around the Maranhão region for a time.
He had lived a long full life by the time Yhwach awoke from his near 1000 year-long slumber, but word reached him and he attempted to join the ranks of the Wandenreich, eventually finding a way of doing so through a small group of Quincy that had been sent to recruit others of pure blood that had not hid with them in the shadows of the Seireitei. His advanced age had others looking down on him, especially from those Quincy that had maintained their youth through the spiritual bodies required of them in Soul Society, and eventually a call went out to have the elderly Quincy disposed of. Vitor greeted death, but requested that if any were to slay him it would have to be the Father of the Quincy himself. He proceeded to annihilate his attackers without moving even a single step from where he stood. Impressed, Yhwach called off the previous order and allowed the man into the ranks of the Wandenreich. Over time he became popular among his fellow Soldat as the Reglos Krieger (平淡兵士 (レグロス・クリーガー), Regurosu Kurīgā; German for "Motionless Warrior"; Japanese for "Still Soldier") for his ability to conduct battle whilst seemingly never moving a muscle.
Equipment[]
Quincy Cross: The source of a Quincy's power, an object that grows alongside them as they become more powerful. Vitor's takes the form of a solar cross, a four pointed cross with a ring circling its entire circumference. He carries it as if it were a badge, keeping it on his person but not worn as an accessory as is common among other Quincy.
Powers & Abilities[]
Capoeira Expert: Vitor has studied the martial art of Capoeira from a very early age, and, having integrated it into how he once fought as a Quincy, relied on a very deep level of study and understanding of the style. The ginga alone could not protect him from the attacks of a Hollow, and especially not from a Shinigami, as such he learned how to utilize Hirenkyaku alongside the stance in order to further speed up his reflexes and movement speed, this was done by generating small instances of the Quincy movement technique beneath his feet and underneath his arms to "push" himself in either direction as needed. He preferred to fight using his feet, and as such the aú and bananeira techniques were his primary focus. In the former he would typically form his Spirit Weapon in conjunction with a cartwheel, stopping only for a moment to then propel his weapons out in an attack aided by Ransōtengai, in keeping with the feint and deceptive nature of the martial art, he would at times forego the use of his Quincy tools for a more direct offensive to prevent one becoming keyed in on his movements too quickly. The same applied in the latter, though his movements were more for defense with bananeira. The creeping in of age and a weak back have left capoeira difficult to perform for the elderly Quincy, his skill having dulled somewhat as a result though he remains knowledgable of the subject and is willing to teach others should they request it of him. Spiritual Awareness: A rare skill among Humans that manifests over a long period of exposure to a source of spiritual energy above a certain level of power. Quincy, however, have innate access to this skill as befitting their role as spiritual mediums. Vitor is able to use people "connected" to him through his Epithet as "pings", increasing the radius of his spiritual awareness through those other beings, essentially allowing him to cover massive areas such as the Rukongai districts. Great Spiritual Power: Like all Quincy, Vitor's primary source of power is external, gathering Reishi from the environment around him to use his techniques and abilities. However, he also boasts a great deal of spiritual power, capable of standing on the same level as the Captains of the Gotei 13, lending him a great deal of energy in battle. When exerted his Reiatsu appears as a lime-green colour. |
Reishi Absorption & Manipulation: All spiritually powerful beings utilize Reiryoku when fighting, but they are also paired with secondary aspects in order to create entirely divergent fighting styles and unique abilities. In the case of the Shinigami, they utilize the spiritual energy generated from their soul alongside a Zanpakutō to combat their enemies; essentially a power from within themselves. In direct contrast the Quincy draw in Reishi from the environment around them in order to form weapons and empower various techniques; a power garnered from the outside. They absorb this energy into their bodies and shape it according to their whims to devastating effect. This not only makes them a threat to Hollows and Shinigami on a general level, but when in places such as Hueco Mundo and Soul Society it essentially makes them living Gods, as these realms are composed entirely of Reishi and thus subject to the Quincy ability to absorb and transform it. When coupled with such a power as the Quincy: Vollständig they can even absorb the bodies of spiritual beings to take on their characteristics.

Alternative Powers & Abilities[]
Schatten (自己韜晦 (シャドー), Shaten; German for "Shadow"; Japanese for "Concealing One's Position"): A power supposedly restricted "to the chosen ones", it allows the Quincy to form a portal from their very own shadows, raising their hand to cast it over a surface which then extends far above and forming into a Quincy cross. The portal is capable of transporting entire groups of people. |
The Lore (保持 (ザ・ロア), Hoji (Za Roa); Japanese for "Retainment"): Vitor's is imbued with the power to retain the powers and knowledge of other beings, by encapsulating their soul and containing it within his own. Doing so allows him to use those powers and memories as if they had always belonged to him. He can only perform this feat on one person at a time, and must discard a captured soul before he can attempt to claim a new one. Through it he was able to capture the soul of a dying Yhwach, granting him the ability to split his soul and distribute it to others, effectively preventing the destruction of the Epithet Powers that Yhwach bestowed upon the Quincy. As long as he retains Yhwach's soul, the Quincy Emperor cannot truly die and his soul cannot return to the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn once again, trapping it in a limbo within Vitor's body. In addition to being able to split his soul as Yhwach did, Vitor has access to the shards that the man created upon bestowing powers to Sternritter, both previous and current, allowing him to bestow old Epithets onto others as well as grant new ones.
|
Tenjō Entaka (天井円鷹, Gyrfalcon of the Ceiling): By gathering Reishi and Reiryoku together, Vitor is capable of summoning his very own Spirit Weapon which takes the form of eight hurlbats. They are throwing axes, composed of a single pole and a double sided axe head, with every single auxiliary sharpened to a point so as to increase the chances of damage. The axes are formed around Vitor and are capable of levitating through no action of their creator, though they cannot be coaxed into moving this way, instead he utilizes the invisible threads of Ransōtengai in order to wield them without ever physically grasping them. |
Trivia[]
- The colour associated with Vitor is Halayà úbe a shade of purple which, in Japanese colour culture, represents wisdom, decadence, and, insight among other things.
