Name:
Angelo Arcana (An-gel-lo Are-cain-na)
Physical Description~
[]-Age:
In appearance, he seems to be roughly 19. His true age is unknown, even to him.
[]-Height:
Without his equipment, he stands around 5' 9". On average, he stands around 5' 10".
[]-Weight:
His own weight is 160lbs, but his gear tends to significantly increase that number. His body is slender yet muscular.
[]-Hair:
A deep black, which falls to his shoulders.
[]-Skin:
Pale, but not beyond that of average.
[]-Eye:
His dark green eyes are particularly noticeable amongst his other ''common" features.
[]-Clothing:
His clothes consist of a nearly skin-tight blackened armor, with straps of flexible woven titanium strands supporting its integrity. His right arm is wrapped firmly, and is often used as a shield. His left arm has had the material of his armor ripped off, thus left exposed. The back of his hand bears a strange symbol, which he covers with a black swordsman's glove.
Zanpaktou's Spirit & Name:
Fukuzatsu na Oni (The complicated demon) possess attributes of darkness, and incredible brute force. When its reiatsu is physically visible, a violent mix of black and purple, along with sparring red streaks can be seen.
Zanpaktou:
Fukuzatsu na Oni is, in its basic zanpaktou form, is simply a basic length katana. It's structure is similar to that of the Murasume, but its sheath yields the kanji for "Light" in silver, and "Darkness" in red, on opposite sides. And engraving on the blade reads, "michi no chikara" (Hidden power). [[未知の力]]
Zanpakutou
Shikai Release:
Raito o taberu ha (light consuming blade)
Previously achieved, not currently available
Release Phrase and Information:
kono son-zai o shouhi shi nasai (consume, my existance)
Upon the utterance of this phrase, Fukuzatsu na Oni awakens, filling Angelo with its corrupted power. In this form, Fukuzatsu na Oni's hilt wrap becomes a crimson red, with the hilt now a rounded, yet somewhat hand conforming shape. The hand-guard is now lined in metallic studes, and the blade itself has become noticeably more streamline. The blade's density (without that of spiritual pressure) is 25g/cm3 (about 2 times the density of lead).
In this first form, the blade taps into its power, allowing Angelo to use far more advanced telekinetic techniques and moderately powerful darkness abilities. A small special effect that occasionally appears is its ability to literally "steal" the strength from other blades, zanpakutou or not. This ability becomes active when the Fukuzatsu na Oni comes in direct contact with another blade's edge (or in some cases blunt edge for weapons such as staffs and clubs). It is not able to recreate an ability from another blade with this ability, yet instead uses the new power (spiritual pressure, elemental existence, bound soul) for its own purposes.
Bankai:
Raito o taberu ha - saishuu teki na shiya (Light eating blade - the final vision)
Previously achieved, not currently available
The bankai of the Fukuzatsu na Oni unleashes its entirety on Angelo. In his bankai, his hollow's power is drawn out, under the control of the blade. Their combined strength last time overcame Angelo, wiping his memory clean. Although unable to control himself at first, this form has incredible intellect, not like a typical power crazed hollow. Its true potential is yet to be seen, but it may be a while before Angelo is able to control this ability, or even yet, remember how to invoke it once more.
Phase 1:
In this form, darkness becomes a physical shape. His left arm is consumed in a pitch black mutation, and his face becomes covered by a black hollow's mask, which to appearance, is more of an entire helmet. The light and reiryoku around him is able to be converted to energy, fueling the blades insatiable lust for power.
Phase 2:
Upon finally being able to control his bankai ability (along with his vizard mask) Angelo's reiatsu gathers in its final form. A purple armor made purely of his own power is visible in a physical form. The amount of remaining strength is visible by the vibrancy of the jewel in the center of the armor. This jewel can be seen pulsing reiatsu throughout the rest of the armor. His blade becomes long, sleek, and tinted purple in a new shape entirely. The new blade is longer and able to more easily concentrate reiatsu as well as hold a reiatsu edge better. His mask has 6 eye slots, and is otherwise standard. Should the jewel run out of purple light, or should either the jewel or his mask be destroyed, Angelo is forced out of his bankai back into his shikai, even if only for a few moments while his bankai is re-summoned (if possible).
**Note: His basic bankai form is different than his own vizard mask. His vizard's mask is seen and worn by Fukuzatsu na Oni, whereas his bankai's basic mask is that of his body being overwhelmed and turning into hollow. (The similarity seen with Ichigo having 2 masks, but the order for this character is reversed, with the larger and heavier one coming first [being uncontrolled] and the lighter, more elaborate one coming afterward [being precise and controllable].)
Skills:
His hand-to-hand combat is something to behold. His mastery of various martial arts in combination with his own natural talent for fighting, make him, even without the Fukuzatsu na Oni, a serious threat. He is telekinetic by birth, allowing him to move, throw, crush, and strike objects not within his physical reach (based on his training, vision, mental stability, and the "aimed at" target). His blows are often carried by a strong amount of spiritual pressure, providing damage to a target beyond that of flesh damage.

Skills:
His hand-to-hand combat is something to behold. His mastery of various martial arts in combination with his own natural talent for fighting, make him, even without the Fukuzatsu na Oni, a serious threat. He is telekinetic by birth, allowing him to move, throw, crush, and strike objects not within his physical reach (based on his training, vision, mental stability, and the "aimed at" target). His blows are often carried by a strong amount of spiritual pressure, providing damage to a target beyond that of flesh damage.
Abilities:
Hand-to-hand Combat
1. High Pressure Straight (HPS)- a simple ability where Angelo concentrates reiatsu into the knuckles and palm of a hand, then releases it directly after impact with a target.
2. High Pressure Roundhouse (HPR)- similar to HPS, but the reiatsu is instead concentrated into a shin and foot. The amount of area is greater than that of a hand, thus this ability is able to hold much more power behind its attack. Even if this attack does not directly connect, the release of reiatsu is able to damage some targets.
*3. Flash Step Strike (FSS)- While using the flash step ability, Angelo is able to use the extra momentum to unleash devastating attacks by combining the movement speed with martial arts. Enemies can be thrown or stuck with this technique.
Currently unavailable
4. Long Range Stike (LRS)- In the same manner of HPS or HPR, LRS is able to extend the range of a single strike attack directly proportional to the amount of stored spiritual energy. Instead of the blast being dispersed as a shockwave, the energy is carried along a telepathic current, thus allowing the attack to never just "miss". The attacks are connected by a telepathic "bead" set on a target, allowing even a high speed moving target to be hit with precise aim.
5. Telekinetic Hold- An ability that allows Angelo to grasp a target even out of physical range. This ability is often combined with a push or pull. This allows him to move a target in or out of harms way, along with being able to toss a target into the air, or slam it against another target or surface.
Regular Zanpakutou
1. High Pressure Blade Strike (HPBS)- Once again, similar to HPS and HPR, this forces extra reiatsu into the blade. This technique also has some range capabilities similar to LRS.
2. Telepathic Sweep- Creates an invisible extension that is launched from the blade. The sharpness of this attack is determined by the concentration and reiatsu input of the attack. The attack can be of immense force, tearing a target apart, or of extreme concentration, slicing the target with the fineness of a wire.
*3. Flash Step Strike ver.2 (FSS2)- The same as FSS, but instead now using Kendo and other styles of swordmanship to strike during a flash step.
Currently unavailable
*Shikai Release
Techniques are acquired after regaining of the Shikai Release and reinvention of the ability
1. Black Aura- While in the Shikai release, the sword's power becomes apparent. The basic aura works as a weak aegis shield, protecting him from small attacks. (attack of 1/8 of Angelo's spiritual pressure or 1/6 Angelo's physical strength)
2. Blast Grenade- A telepathically condensed amount of dark energy is thrown at a target, the blast leaves a corrupting spiritual toxin that erodes both physical and energy/reiatsu based materials for a short amount of time (approximately 8-20 seconds). The blast itself is commonly strong enough to destroy a target with reiatsu shrapnel.
3. Dark Pulse- A simple technique that releases a set amount of dark energy from the palm of Angelo's hands or his blade. This technique has the ability to corrode materials, similar to Blast Grenade, but is most noticeably different in the fact that it allows for the disturbance of a materials stability upon contact, weakening its defenses or allowing its strength to be more easily stolen by Fukuzatsu na Oni.
4. Shade Sphere- A high power technique that envelops a set area in a black sphere, starting at a point on the target then increasing in size. This sphere drowns out all senses of its target, as well as locking it in the set area of space (approximately 10 feet in diameter). A target can run for hours, and never realize that they have not moved a millimeter. Against a larger target, this ability can be used to cause momentary blindness. This technique is often used as a set up for a more damaging technique, but under prolonged exposure, can severely damage a targets mentality; "When one can no longer hear their own thoughts, true fear is felt."
5. Dark Hold- A modified version of telepathic hold, where a targets strength is stolen equal to the amount of time that it is held. This technique can be combined with Shade Sphere, Dark Pulse, and many other long range techniques.
6. Empowered Telepathy- Now his telepathy has merged with his reiatsu, instead of having to carry the reiatsu of techniques; Angelo is now able to strike a target with telepathy alone (or as one could see his, using his reiatsu as a weapon in itself). This technique is often used in high magnitude and frequency while combined with another technique; (each hit's damage is determined by the amount of concentration and reiatsu forced into the blow, which is usually a minimal due to sheer numbers)
7. Black Rift- A blackened crescent shaped wave of energy. This technique draws in on Angelo's pure reiatsu in a tangible state and combines it with his telekinetic sweep and dark pulse. The resultant attack does significant damage to its target, yet its uses are limited.
8. Summoned Swords - combining telepathic abilities and dark reiatsu, Angelo is able to mold a black blade from thin air. These blades may be wielded, thrown, shattered, or gathered for a more powerful defense. The number of possible blades is determined by Angelo's remaining reiatsu and mastery of this technique.
9. Sen Inazuma (1000 lightning strikes) - Capable of being known as Flash Step Strike ver.3, this technique is yet another upgrade to this powerful attack. Unlike his other techniques, this attack actually has a title and attack call. It is essentially a dashing strike, but on an intensely more complex level. Angelo combines his previous techniques in a manner that allows him to accelerate to a speed much higher than that of a standard shunpo, but of much shorter range. During the dash, Angelo unleashes an amazing flash of strikes, each one visually resembling small strikes of lightning from a distance due to the reflection of light off the blade, reappearing behind his enemy and leaving a powerful roar of a broken sound barrier. The attack consists of an average of 317 strikes (despite the name 1000 strikes), and an average hit rate of 82.3% (1000 hits at 100% accuracy is possible, but not without either a support technique or bankai). Each strike carries no special effect other than basic armor piercing, but carries the strength equal to that of a normal HPBS hit.
*Special*:Strength Absorption-A simple effect that drains another weapons power when in direct contact. The amount of strength stolen is determined by the mastery of this skill, duration of contact, and force upon collision. The stolen energy is NOT able to be used to mirror an ability or skill- the energy is instantly converted into Angelo's reiastsu and used within his own abilities.This ability takes strength only from weapons with their own strength (I.E. a lightning imbued blade, ect.). This ability does not drain the strength of an opponent.
*Bankai Release
Techniques are acquired after regaining of the Bankai Release and reinvention of the ability
1. Limit Unlock- The true form of Fukuzatsu na Oni consumes Angelo's body. The power of Bankai and a hollow simultaneously pour into his body and soul. His abilities become astronomically more controlled and powerful, but at a dangerous price.
2. Flor de Muerto (Flower of death) - Angelo's end all of attacks. Fukuzatsu na Oni's signature technique is appropriately titled "Flower of Death" because of the technique's initial appearance. As the energy gathers around Angelo, it is said to look like petals in bloom. Once they become full (entirely in bloom), the technique activates, releasing utter chaos upon the surrounding area with every technique in his capabilities upon any target in range. (approximately 3-8 miles in diameter lasting between 10 seconds to 5 minutes; although range and duration are determined by current reiatsu)
*Kido Techniques
Angelo, due to no formal Kido training, is not yet able to use any Kido abilities
(more will be added during character development)
Zanpakutou Personality:
A demon blade that has chosen a warrior that fights for light, who's age is several decades old, passing along from soul to soul along Angelo's family history. Angelo has, in the past, signed his soul to Fukuzatsu na Oni, but remembers nearly nothing of it. The blade itself is able to control what is essentially the pure blackness of existence, commonly known as "Darkness". Its existence in the soul society (or rather Hueco Mundo) suggests that it has traveled from another place, in the hopes of becoming stronger. It desires for one thing and one thing only, more power. [[Note: Fukuzatsu na Oni can be seen wearing Angelo's hollow mask.]]
Fukuzatsu na Oni
Angelo's personality:
A warrior who trained to be a hero, yet never quite reached his dream. His efforts to save those who he loves seem to always end in failure, and his spirit has many a times been broken. Yet he continues to walk forward in search of hope. His nature is that of a hero still, despite the gap in his memory. His IQ is estimated at 165, well above genius level. His ability to combine and analyze not only his own abilities, but also the abilities of others and the possibilities of the surrounding area allow for his cunning to cause him to be dangerous even should his reiatsu be dropped to near-zero.
Angelo in his older armor
History/Bio:
His place of initial being is a complete mystery. He was raised as an orphan within the soul society. He was taught that a hero would one day be able to vanquish the hollows, the destructive ryoka, and all the other foes of the soul society, and bring true peace to everyone. These words carried with him even until current day. In this inspiration, he practiced various martial arts, and mastered them significantly more quickly than any single Ryoka should be able. He even discovered that he has the natural ability of telekinesis, starting with moving small object, then eventually moving to shattering boulders, Angelo spent all of his efforts in becoming the most powerful and most distinguished fighter, but only upon his own pace, for no sensei was able to keep pace with the brilliant warrior. He spent years of his time in the soul society's most disturbed places, including a time in Hueco Mundo, with his intentions only of gaining power. Within his quest to acquire strength, he unlocked his Zanpakutou. This event occured on the outskirts of the soul society, during a battle with a strayed hollow. Near his own death, his Zanpakutou presented itself, and, in a way, saved his life. This was not the only time that his blade would lengthen his lifespan. With his newly aquired strength, he took on an entire new span of foes-- the Hollows. Upon his arrival of Hueco Mundo, he was met with dozens of extremely low level hollows, that in truth, were not even 5th seat level, but the rush gave Angelo a small taste of insanity, and drove him into a lust for power. The more his madness grew, the more he could feel a presence from his Zanpakutou. Eventually, he heard the blade in its entirety. It spoke "I can end your thirst for power, just allow me your soul.." Angelo obliged. Upon agreement of this terrible contract, Fukuzatsu na Oni burned his sin onto the back of his left hand, then revealing the utterance for its shikai release form. Countless hollows were slain in the name of bloodthirst and the gaining of power. Upon too much reliance of the blade, Fukuzatsu na Oni took control of Angelo, forcing his body into bankai. The stress that this forced on his body nearly killed him, and Fukuzatsu na Oni was forced to return to a bladed form, along with all that Angelo had learned, and witnessed, since the day of his contract, as to one day hope he would fall back into its control. All that Angelo remembers is that there is something he is searching for, and something that he must remember.
Future/Character Spoiler info:
Angelo is labeled as a ryoka by the soul society, mostly because of his abandonment of it due to his training. The truth of the matter is as such; His family's true origin is that of demon sorcerers, who dealt not with that of hollows or ghosts, but rather the devils and angels themselves, something controversial to those within the soul society. He himself is the last of his family tree, with their sins bared upon him, in the form of his zanpakutou. His soul was created by his mother and father, but never sent to a body, thus rendering him directly into the soul society. His telekinesis is due to the psychics of his genetics, in which his ancestors used to contact these beings. Because of this fact, he is labeled by some as "a dirtied soul" or "unnatural", and leading to his label of a ryoka by the citizens of his town far before his goals of furthering his strength even were in their concept. Within the description, it is mentioned that he is raised as an orphan, this is because of a single good soul that was willing to look past these flaws and take care of him. This woman taught him of the dark, and evil people and beings of their universe (I.E. evil ryoka, hollows, corrupt citizens, self serving soul reapers, anyone who opposes that of good nature), and how much harm they could cause to a being. Relating this to the horrible people that tortured him, he took this to heart for the rest of his life. "A hero can one day free the people from misery." Knowing that he had already been labeled a ryoka, he felt no hesitation in leaving. The hollows he came across were more often than not within his level of fighting, but in other times, running is better than death (again?). Upon the finding of a Menos Grande, Angelo knew better than to challenge the monster. Instead, he followed it through the gateway, barely making it through the passage on his minimal reiatsu. As the bio says, he eventually became consumed by his blade. He became that of a high powered hollow, abilities of cero and all, and made his way back into the soul society. Upon arrival though, his body's strength began to run low, and could no longer take the stress of the power, forcing the demon back into a bladed form. In his future, he will re-unlock his techniques, relearning how to control his and Fukuzatsu na Oni's power. Upon overtaking the power of his blade, he will be able to invoke the power of his bankai, but for extremely low amounts of time. He will eventually be able to overtake his hollow as well (which happens to be an inverse to his shikai's appearance of the Fukuzatsu na Oni), allowing him to rely on his own hidden power. After engaging an inner battle with both his hollow and Fukuzatsu na Oni simultaneously, he will unlock the power of his true bankai as that of a vizard, and a primary bankai with powers similar to that of Ichigo Kurosaki in the ways that he gains no new weapons or actual abilities, but rather his strength increases to a granted fraction of the total of his own, his hollow, and Fukuzatsu na Oni's combined strength. Capable of being considered a vizard in the future, he is only considered a ryoka as of now. He will grow as a force to be either feared or admired, but only should he manage to not kill himself before then.
