---------------
Soft-spoken, considerate, and modest, Bicycle likes her simple lifestyle and doesn’t have a huge amount of ambition. She’s perfectly content to someday be the owner of the family restaurant, and doesn’t mind the hand-me-down clothes and cramped apartment of her lifestyle. She greatly dislikes violence, and even a heated shouting match makes her want to be someplace else.
Bicycle does not believe in a god, miracles, or coincidence. It’s her personal belief that everything happens for a reason, and nothing should be blamed on otherworldly forces. She accepts death as a perfectly natural part of life, even when it is an accident or murder. Though she bears no grudges or reserves any favors, she never forgets an act of hate or an act of kindness.

---------------

Special Possessions: (Optional)
~~~~~~~~~Looks~~~~~~~~~
BUILD
6’3 and 126 lbs, her body has an all around average build, not being stocky, slender, stringy, or fat. She’s not athletic and doesn’t get that much exercise, so her shoulders and legs aren’t toned. Her bust size is roughly B-cup.
HAIR
Her straight black hair is cut to pageboy shortness. The edges aren’t very consistent, and there are stray strands of varying lengths due to Bicycle cutting her own hair and having done a very unprofessional job of it.
FACE
Her face is heart shaped, and her facial features aren’t so unique that they would make a significant note in a profiler’s listing of traits. She doesn’t wear makeup.
She’s practically the poster child for average qualities in a Chinese teen- Her eyes are set apart not too wide and not too close, her nose isn’t large or small, her ears are not pierced, her cheeks are not chubby or gaunt, her jaw is an attribute of how her face is shaped, her lips are a faded pink, and her mouth is not left gawking or open when she isn’t talking.
SKIN
A tone that is slightly darker than the color seen on most people of Asian ethnicity.
EYES
Light brown in color and almond shaped. They gaze with quiet contemplation and are quick to avert once you catch them looking at you.
CLOTHES
Bicycle favors jean shorts and faded t-shirts that are very small and tight, seeing as she has been wearing the same ones from when she was 13. Her shoes are a pair of army boots that she got for a cheap price at a secondhand store. She doesn’t like throwing away new clothes or going shopping, so she wears out her old ones until it is impossible to wear anymore.
In the case of a formal occasion, Bicycle dons a sky blue hanfu that has been passed down from mother to daughter in her family for countless generations along with silk slippers embroidered with faded gold thread.
~~~~~~~~~Autobiography~~~~~~~~~
PAST
PROLOGUE
Her father came from a poor countryside family of farmers. With the little amount of money he had, he went to Beijing and purchased a bicycle. It became the most important object of his life for ten years, for his job required delivering food to near and far parts of the city.
At that time, her mother was training to be the heir of the family restaurant that Bicycle’s father delivered for. Her family was not poor, but neither was it wealthy. No one on that side of the family gave a whit about politics or education; it was tradition and unspoken fact that as long as they could, the single child of the family would be the next person to run the family business.
The two of them built trust and friendship over the many years of working together, and though they did not have passion or romantic love for each other, they married knowing that their spouse was a decent, kind, hardworking person that they respected and trusted to the fullest degree.
BIRTH
April 1st, Beijing China
The baby girl came into the world peacefully, without as much as a whimper to signify her presence in the world.
Her father decided to name his daughter ‘Bicycle’ for the following reasons:
1. It was the first thing he bought with the last of his savings upon arriving to Beijing, and his bike was incredibly important to him.
2. The bicycle was what brought him into his delivery job, and subsequently, led to his meeting of the restaurant owners’ daughter.
3. He thought it was a very practical Western name.
4. Reasons 1, 2, and 3 were mostly excuses. He just thought Bicycle sounded like a cool name.
TODDLER
From infancy to toddlerhood, Bicycle’s life is unremarkable.
Her mother, during a bout of spring cleaning, finds a loose floorboard in the apartment above the restaurant and rips it out because it is half rotted anyway. In the dark, dusty space, she discovers scrapbook bearing a cover that is decorated with both a light blue cross and a black butterfly, sketched on by faded pastels. An incredibly rusted chain and lock seals it, but crumbles when her fingers trace over it delicately. Intrigued, she opens up the scrapbook and pores over it.
Inside the front cover are unfamiliar names that go by the surname Wong. Perhaps they are long forgotten ancestors of hers? The Chinese characters inside are so archaic that she has trouble figuring out what some of them mean despite her talent for memorizing and deciphering traditional Chinese writing. She identifies several of the characters as being Japanese kanji, which strikes her as odd.
Flipping through the thin age-yellowed pages, the following pictures show detailed sketches and colored pictures of a woman clad in a black Japanese garment. Her foggy memories of the Japanese culture that she studied as a girl reminds her of the term ‘hakama’. Always near or next to this woman in the pictures is a man wearing a strange uniform of white with light blue accents. He is not wearing a hakama, but instead a more western-like outfit with a small white cape.
They are depicted as happy in each other’s company, and the final page shows the woman dressed in a fine black kimono and the man wearing a traditional white Chinese jacket and formal pants. This leads to Bicycle’s mother determining that they were married and that the book may have been a wedding gift.
Fascinated, she shows this book to her husband, who suggests that it may have been a fairy tale created by one of their ancestors. His wife wants to throw it out along with the rest of the useless junk they discovered in the apartment, but he keeps it and resolves to save it and to present it to his daughter in the future, when and if she ever gets married.
CHILDHOOD
Nothing of great significance; only that which comes of natural talent and is easily missed.
Bicycle helped out as Nurses’ Assistant and was unaware of her uncanny healing ability: Whenever she touched a bruise or a cut, the small wound would be gone within five minutes, sometimes less depending on how long her fingers had lingered over the wound when dressing it with gauze or sticking a band-aid upon it.
Her touch could leech pain away temporarily, and resting her fingertips gently upon a sore spot would have the same effect as putting on an ice pack, sans the cold and slightly painful numbing sensation.
These occurrences were so minor that no one paid it any attention, least of all her.
TEEN
She opted for homeschooling, knowing that her odd name would lead her to be the main object of derision among her peers.
During this time, her spiritual powers were maturing, leading her to see the occasional Hollow and Shinigami roaming about. Bicycle stayed far away and vaguely remembered that some distant relative or another had schizophrenia. Crossing her fingers and hoping that what she assumed to be a genetic disease would not worsen, she ignored anything that was incredibly strange and simply went on with her life.
In a city with such a booming and densely packed together population, it’s harder to distinguish individual reiatsu, so she remained relatively safe for the majority of her life. With every passing year, her powers grew slightly stronger, making her just a little more obvious to Hollows over time. This fact is completely unrelated to the following incident.
When she was 15 years old, her father died.
He was hit by a car while riding back home on his bicycle.

~~~~~~~~~Techniques~~~~~~~~~
While Bicycle’s healing powers steadily progress with each rank, her offensive techniques will always be harder for her to manage and sustain because she lacks the drive to fight
(A turn equals a post from me. XP I’m too lazy/tired/bleh to go back and fix it all. The increments probably are too weak or broken or something, so if someone can help me decide a good amount of waiting time between each of her attacks as well as tell me whether that’s in turns/posts/whatever, that would be a huge amount of help. Pfft writing these sections always sucks)
SS-rank Techniques
(Have to be S-rank at least to have one)
[dkjfsldfkjsdf i just didn't feel like filling anything in. yet. it prolly involves somethin to do with raising the dead and kdsdfsd i need to get off the computer before it fries my eyes.]
S-rank Techniques
[Not unlocked yet]
Bicycle can now regenerate body parts, even restoring half of a damaged body from nothing. As long as the person hasn’t died yet, no wound is too fatal to restore back to health. (However, none of her healing powers ever cover illnesses or natural defects.)
By manipulating the nerves in a humanoid body, she can remove all feelings of tactile sensation so that they can not feel pain (Which subsequently results in the lack of being able to feel temperature, pleasure, and feeling completely numb all the time). She can also restore it, but the cost is that the restoration is never as complete as the original state was.
She can now create spiritual energy meteorites. They’re roughly the size of her head, and it would take just one to destroy a normal Hollow or even a Gillian. It would do considerable damage against an Arrancar, but the cost is that she can only make one for every five turns, which still leaves her reliant on others to keep her safe during heated battles.
A-rank Techniques
[Not unlocked yet]
Regeneration still isn’t possible, but if you were to take the arm from one person and put it to the bleeding stump of another person, Bicycle could attach it better than any surgeon in the world. This goes for organ transplants as well, though that’s a more unusual request.
At this rank, she can make scars disappear, induce a coma-like state by slipping her fingers into a person’s head and messing around, and even seal away reiatsu in any species by stopping up the flow, rendering them powerless unless she removes the block.
The damaging spike balls are unchanged, but she can create from five to six with a cooldown period of five turns.
B-rank Techniques
[Not unlocked yet]
She can will her fingers (all the way down to her wrists) to slip through flesh like water and have it emerge completely clean, without even the tiniest speck of blood.
A few hazy ripples, the slightest bit of resistance, and then her fingers are able to slide in without damaging the part of the body internally. From here, she can heal with much greater efficiency and can even restore wounds that have damaged organs, though she can’t replace any part that has been removed or cut away.
The person must be completely relaxed for the best results; if they’ve tensed up because of their pain, she can gently probe her fingertips through the forehead and into the mind to calm them down.
Her puffballs of light are now more like basketball sized spike balls of spiritual energy so bright that it can make the eyes water just by staring. They’re taxing to keep up, and she only has the strength to keep around two to three at the same time without them disappearing after one use, but upon impact, they have the power to obliterate half of a Hollow. If it hits the Hollow’s hole directly, the spike ball sinks in to the center and causes the Hollow to dissolve completely, though this sort of precision is very hard to manage.
To an Arrancar, one spike ball of her spiritual energy is the equivalent of a direct blow from a zanpaku-to. The spike ball is twice as effective if it hits squarely where the hole is, but can not obliterate the Arrancar outright through this method.
After her two to three spike balls of energy, Bicycle can’t create any more for ten turns (When she has rested for a while and replenished the energy), though her healing powers can still be used, albeit with more difficulty and a bit of a delay (When the energy required to form the spike balls is used up, every separate healing requires a turn to go by before she can do another). Too much healing after using up her energy can cause her to faint.
C-rank Techniques
[Not unlocked yet]
Her healing powers are improved. She can:
- Seal cuts of any kinds (Though she can’t re-attach severed limbs or heal cut organs),
- Cure burns,
- Remove weak poisons (Fatal or heavy doses can have the effects and deadliness lessened, but the aftereffects will still linger as well as some degree of the body still being crippled),
- Repair broken bones, and
- Make a person fall asleep or feel drowsy simply by concentrating the white healing light over their forehead
She can conjure even bigger puffballs (Roughly baseball sized) of white light from her palms that, provided they bump into a Hollow, dissolves a baseball size chunk of that Hollow where it hit. It’s small, but it’s painful. This does little damage to an Arrancar besides burning it slightly. Bicycle can only get around eight of these puffballs to attack before it wears her out. Five turns later, she can attack with seven of them, and five turns later, with six, and so on and so forth until she is dead exhausted to the point where she can not even heal.
These puffballs and all later levels of them attack by shooting towards the enemy, like a spellcaster’s projectile. When it takes off, a thin flash of white light tails behind it, making them look like miniature comets. The more powerful the form, the greater the following light is.
D-rank Techniques
[Not unlocked yet]
She can conjure a faint white glow within her cupped palms and smooth it over an injury. This can heal minor fractures, stop light bleeding and slow heavy bleeding (Though may not seal up the wound), reduce adrenaline, and hold a calming effect over a person. It’s very soothing.
She can also create tiny puffballs of white light at her fingertips, delicate as snow and as light as dandelion seeds. They do little more than illuminate a very small area. They can be made to shoot up into the air, and float around, and, well… They’re quite nice to look at, though a smack of the hand makes it vanish like a bubble. If they collide into a (Wow, I nearly typed in ‘Heartless’) Hollow, it does the same damage as a scrape from a pin. Annoying, and hardly fatal.
E-rank Techniques
Touching a wounded area increases the healing rate, though can’t fix big injuries like broken bones and deep gashes that would require stitches. For the bigger wounds like broken bones, she can take away some of the pain, but not all of it.
When she puts her hand upon anywhere that hurts, the pain dissipates temporarily (Going away for as long as an aspirin lasts). Bicycle can keep headaches and sores at bay for a little while with this.
Her E-Rank techniques are minor and subtle enough that she isn’t aware of these powers for the current time being.
~~~~~~~~~Racial Powers~~~~~~~~~
(Her powers don’t go by stages… Unless they have to? Bicycle’s powers are heavily based off of Orihime’s, and I can’t recall her having any stages to her abilities. Blah.. I think she would qualify as an Ichigo-influenced Serraphim. @_@ I need a break from writing!)
First Stage
First Stage Description:
First Stage Powers: Minor healing, abilities to conjure small puffballs of spiritual energy harmful to Hollowkin, and pretty much everything covered from the E to D-rank techniques.
First Stage Weakness: Her offensive powers are awful and her healing powers aren't too potent yet. She also has no defensive abilities. If Bleach was a video game, she'd be the medic/white mage type.
Second Stage
Second Stage Description:
Second Stage Powers: C to B-Rank techniques are hers, and her E to D-rank techniques are permanently unlocked.
Second Stage Weakness: Offensive ability is less horrendous, but she still has no defensive abilities to speak of.
ThirdStage
Third Stage Description:
Third Stage Powers: A to S-Rank techniques are now hers, along with everything beneath that.
Third Stage Weakness: Her offensive powers get better, but defensive powers? lolololololol At least she can heal herself amazingly.
