Nishi Kozen

Basic Information

Name: Nishi Kozen

Age: 432

Gender: Male

Rank: Espada

Number: Not sure what spot is open

Looks: Nishi stands at 5’11” and weighs about 170 lbs. He has a muscular, yet skinny build. By muscular yet skinny I mean his arms are skinny but you can tell he has muscle on them. He has a semi skinny upper body, but he also has a very defined six pack. His body shows no signs of any scars, scratches, scrapes or blemishes. His body is what some would call perfect. When you look at him you can't really tell he is a fighter or that he has ever been in a fight.

Nishi has black eyes with purple pupils. His pupils tend to pulsate every now and again. The pulsating happens at randoms times and Nishi can not time them. He has jet black hair with light purple highlights scattered all through it. He keeps his hair in a bed of messy spikes which sit all over his head. It's basically a constant case of bed head. He never sees a point in fixing it, since he will just be going back to sleep.

When you first look at Nishi you can not tell where his hollow is and as long as he keeps his jacket buttoned up you will never know where it is. When he opens his jacket his hollow hole is finally revealed. His hollow hole is 23.5 inches in circumference and sits in the middle of his chest directly above his abs, but just below peaks. If you were to compare his hole to a human toy it would be the same size as a child sized soccer ball. Surrounding or outlining the outside of the hole are a white hollow remnants. These remnants don't hold any special meaning to Nishi. To finish it off Nishi's espada number is tattooed directly above his hollow hole.

The most interesting thing about Nishi is his mask fragment. Normally a mask fragment is exactly that a fragment of their former mask. In Nishi's case his mask fragment is an actual mask. Because of this mask nobody has ever seen his true face and he plans to keep it that way. The mask is broken up into four color blocks. Each block is either black or white with the other alternating next to it. Running through the mask are different tribal lines. As each line passes through to another block they alternate to the opposite color. The mask itself is rather skinny just big enough to fit and cover Nishi's face. The overall appearance is nothing special except for top right black block. This block has a medium sized black horn that sticks out from it.

Nishi's clothing is very unique. The overall color scheme alternates between black and white with a hint purple thrown in every now and again. The pants are normal espada pants; they're just a bit bigger and looser. Wrapped around his waist as his belt is a purple scarf. The scarf is just longer enough to fit and tie around Nishi. The jacket is longer then a normal espadas jacket and the shoulders have a long scarf like clothing from them. The right scarf is black and the left scarf is white. From the collar of the jacket to the end of Nishi's peaks. The jacket forms a black and white skull like face. Besides his two zanpakuto which are each strapped to one hip. His scarfs are the only other clothing accessories he has. He never saw a point in having so many things on. To him all that extra stuff would just weigh him down and annoy him.

Personality: There are a few words to describe Nishi, such as calm, collected and at times quite. He tends to not worry about the things that must be worried for and he never shows emotion unless the situation demands it. Under normal times, situations or when he is around others Nishi will have the same bored expression pastered upon his face. Most of the time Nishi wont speak much, choosing to observe more then speak. Not much of a talker Nishi will stay to his own thoughts and dreams. On the rare occasion Nishi engages into a long conversation, that is more than small talk, he will only do so because it's something that intrests him greatly.

Calm, collected, quite are just the minor things that make up Nishi. The main thing or word to describe Nishi is Lazy to the highest degree. Nishi is nothing more then a lazy laidback bum. He'd rather sit around and watch stars all night rather then fight. Because he is so lazy Nishi doesn't like to be rushed and will let it be known. Most of the time he will take his time doing things, so engrossed in his own thoughts Nishi wont do things at a faster rate than he needs to. Nobody knows is he does this on purpose or if it is just how he is.

His two overall favorite things to do in life are sleep and star gaze. His least favorite thing to do is fight POINTLESS fights. He feels pointless fights do nothing but ruin his lazy, laidback nature. If he finds a fight to be pointless he will not fight it and there is nothing that can make him fight. Just because he'd rather not fight doesn't mean he's a push-over. When the time comes and he has to fight he will fight without remorse or mercy. During battle Nishi regards his enemies with the same expression and attitude he gives his comrades: complete boredom and contempt. Battle is the only time Nishi will do things at a higher speed rate and he'll only do that once he has read his opponent. Nishi enjoys a good battle, but a long carried on one bores him very easily and as such he will want to end it soon. Despite the way he acts or comes or comes off, Nishi is very intelligent and a brilliant stagiest. He can read his opponents movements and fighting style after only moments of fighting them. These traits are often over shadowed by his laziness.

With Nishi's laziness also comes his pride. He may be a lazy, laidback bum, but he has pride. Because of this pride he lives by these words "I am who I am, I can be no way else. Should I stop being who I am, than I no longer deserve to live". Nishi holds these word in the highest regards. They are like his code or honor or warriors code.

The last thing to describe Nishi is power driven. Nishi has always lusted after power ever sense he became a Vasto Lorde. He wishes to become most powerful being in the entire world. Only then will he truly be satisfied or so he hopes. He will not let anything stand in the way of his goal to become more powerful and he will do anything to get power. As long as it doesn't go against his code of honor.

Resurrecion Information

Name: Juicio

Phrase: Enceguese el mundo con tu luz, luego cubrelo con tu oscuridad...Juicio (Blind the world with your light, then cover it in darkness...Judgement)

Represent: Wolf

Family: Darkness

Looks: Because Nishis' reiastu was so big when he ascended to arrcanar his zanapkuto powers where split between two zanpakuto. They both still lead to the same release; they're just two halves to the same whole.

The first Judgment zanpakuto is a regular size Tachi. The blade is around 28 inches long and is made of a very flexible white steel. The overall weight of the entire blade is 2.25 pounds. The handle of the Tachi is all white with gold diamonds on the inside. The guard is in the shape of a gold sphere with line running through it.

The second Judgement zanpakuto is a regular size katana. The blade is around 25 inches long and is made from carbon steel. This is blade is very unique in the fact that it is made up of two colors instead of one. The first color which covers majority of the blade is black. The black color runs from the tip of the blade to guard. it covers about 3/4ths of the blade and stops just before the butt of the blade is reached. The butt of the blade is made from the same carbon steel, but it's silver not black. This blade is slightly heavier then the Tachi weighing 3 pounds. The gaurd of blade is in the shape of a very thin 4 point star. The inside of the star is black and the outline of the star is silver. The grip is a combination of black and red with a gold cap on the end.

When Nishi goes into his resurrection he must hold both blades and speak the release phase. After Nishi speaks his release phrase two separate things happen. The first thing is the Tachi glows a bright white and engulfs Nishi in a white light. The second thing is the Katana glows dark black and after the white light has engulfed Nishi. The dark light overpowers and engulfs Nishi and the white light. The two lights fuse causing a grey light to form and then fade away. When the grey light fades Nishi stands in his resurrected state.

The first notable change to Nishi in his resurrected state is his hair. Before his hair was black and purple but now its solid white. It no longer sits in a bed of messing spikes, now it is spiked up or standing. The second notable change is his clothing; his overall physical look is the same as before. The first and biggest difference is now his clothing is solid black. The second difference are the scarfs that sit on his shoulders. Before they were just single scarfs but now they have split into two separate but joined scarfs. The scarfs are joined by two smaller scarfs they connect them to each other. He also has six little scarfs around the collar of his neck. The last and finally change to his resurrected state is his mask. The mask is no longer black and white but solid black. Along with the color the look of the mask has changed. The mask is completely closed with no eye holes, yet Nishi can still see.

Now in this state it looks as if Nishi doesn't have a weapon, but that is far from the truth. Nishi has 8 blades though only one is noticeable when you first see him. The first blade you see is a combination of the Tachi and Katana. Nishi calls this blade Seruro.(I don't really know how to explain it so look at the picture). You don't see this blade when Nishi first enters resurrecion because it is strapped to his back. Nishi will keep the blade stappred to his back until he feels he needs to use it.

The other 7 blades are truly unique.

Floating around Nishi in his resurrected state at all times are 7 invisible blades. These blades are simple known as the Blades of Light or 7 Sins. Each blade is shaped differently and unique to itself. Each blade is also named after one of the seven deadly sins. When the blades are idle or just floating around Nishi they are invisible. This is the reason why at first look it’s as if Nishi only has one blade. When Nishi wants to attack or defend with them they will appear, meaning as soon as they come in contact with something, the blades will flash and stay exposed for several seconds before vanishing again. Nishi is able to move them around with his mind, and doesn't need to physical touch them for them to attack or defend. When I talked to some people about it, they found a visual really helped so this is kind of what I am going for.

Techniques

I feel I should give a small explanation to exactly what Nishi's abilities really are.

When you first see Nishi release you could easily assume and guess his power is the complete control over darkness. By control I mean the ability generate and alter darkness to his will. That is what Nishi intends for people to think about his power. In truth the darkness control is used to hide his true ability which is called Twilight.


When Twilight begins Nishi's opponent won't even know they have been caught until its to late. The light that appears when Nishi first releases, causes a constant changing black light to cover the battlefield. Nishi's opponents eyes then constantly try to adjust to the changing light, causing them to see shadows and their mind to play tricks on them. This effect is indeed the power of Twilight. Twilight revolves around sensory Illusion. This can be as simple as a misconception that Nishi is actually in one place when he is really in another. To as complicated as his opponents body believing it's restrained when it's not. When all else fails Nishi's ability reverts to darkness control.

The illusions are so vivid the ensnared enemy often is unable to tell they are caught until Nishi begins to alter things. The main power of Nishis illusions are the ability to make the body feel everything he wills even if it hasn't happened. In an illusion he can slice open his enemy's chest and they will see the blood, feel the cut, and feel the pain after the illusion drops as though the attack actually happened when in fact it didn't. If he severs a limb the target loses feeling in that limb coupled with a slight shock. When the illusion ends the target will experience a tingling as if that limb had fallen asleep but will be no more damaged than when they went into the illusion. In short the illusions trick his opponents mind into feeling pain seeing what Nishi wants them to see.

Now that we have that cleared up, I will go into his traits that use the ability.

History and RP Sample

History:

Human Life

In the far beginning, at the age during when Nishi was still a living being, he had an average living and life. He wasn't all too special in any way as far as physical looks go, but what was special about him was his job. Nishi was a trained assassin and had almost thousands of battle, tactical, and killing strategies in his head at all times, no matter the situation. On his regular day job, he worked as a waiter in a restaurant near Kamakura town.

One night when he was casing out his next target he had heard a loud explosion a block away from him. Knowing this could possible ruin his kill he had to check it out. When he got to the source of the explosion, his eyes were amazed at what he saw.The damage before him seemed all to new, and, from what? Meteors? There were craters, huge slashes in the buildings and the ground. What had happened here? That was the main question in his head. Not completely sure he wanted to find out, so he turned to walk back to his future kill. As he walked his vision caught sight of creature with a white mask. A dark energy rose from creature and started to engulf Nishi. Was this the cause of the damage and destruction?

Nishi would soon find out as the creature let out a loud roar. The pure force of the roar was enough to cause more buildings to fall. When the roar died now the creature turned his attention on to Nishi. Nishi knew what he was thinking and decided to beat him to the punch. Using his own battle and fighting tactics, Nishi attacked the creature. Despite everything he knew, he still wasn't a match for the creature and within seconds, his body was smashed into pieces. Without a second thought the creature absorbed Nishi's soul.

Hollow

The furthers Nishis mind could remember back was to the day he evolved from Gillan to Adjuchas. He doesn't remember much about the process of evolving. He just remembers one thousands separate minds turning into one unified mind. That one unified mind being him. When he awoke he was in the Menos forest with a new look and no name. The look was that of a six foot tall wolf with wings. The wolf had no idea what to do so he just roamed the forest. It wasn't until he ran into another hollow who tried to devour him and fail did the wolf know what he would do. The wolf figured his purpose was to roam and eat all the weak hollow who failed to eat him, so that's what he did.

For years after his birth he roamed the forest devouring every hollow he came in contact with. He didn't care what the hollow looked like, or how he acted. They were all food for him to feast on. The wolf had not a care in the world to him his life was perfect. He had never come across a hollow that could beat and devour him. He was the top of the food chain in the forest, but all that changed.

One hundred years after his birth the wolf was doing what he always did. He had just killed and was devouring a bat hollow. When another presence started appeared in the forest. The power of this presence rivaled that of the wolf, which peaked his curiosity so much he threw his bat feast away. Enticed by the soon to be meal the wolf stalked and hunted the presence down. When he found the creature behind the power he wasn't surprised at what he was doing. The creature was feasting on a weak hollow, but instead of turning to face the wolf. The creature continued to devour his current meal. The wolf took this as an insult and launched at the creature. The creature had anticipated this and fired a cero from his tail at the wolf. The wolf who had never seen a cero before in his life tried to devour it. Sure enough he failed and was blasted back. The creature laughed and stood from his meal. When the wolf looked at him his eyes couldn't believe what he was looking at. This creature looked like a human instead of an animal. Slowly the creature made his way over to the wolf.

You are a weak excuse for a hollow. My last meal put up more fight then you did

What?

The creature started to laugh. It was obvious he was playing with the wolf, which made the wolf infuriated. With his rage boiling the wolf lunged at the creature and snapped his mouth around the creature’s neck. Sensing he had victory the wolf closed his mouth down tighter, but was surprised when his mouth wouldn't move anymore.

What's wrong wolfy? Can't get a good taste

Before the wolf could even respond he was blasted back by another cero. This cero was more powerful then the last and almost killed the wolf. The creature just laughed as he stared sown at the ding wolf.

I was wrong you do have some fight in you and because of that I will give you a gift.

The creature took his right arm and ripped it off. As soon as it separated another arm grew back. The creature then tossed his arm to the wolf.

Devour some of my power and become stronger. I can tell you will make a fine meal one day, so grow stronger so I Shiro the Vastor Lorde can have the pleasure of devouring you one day.

With that Shiro vanished. The wolf not knowing what else to do devoured the arm. Instantly his power tripled and all his wounds were healed. The wolf had never experienced anything like what he had just went through. That’s when he changed his mission from devouring the weak hollow. To becoming strong enough to devour and consume Shiro. He didn't care what he had to do to do, but he would devour Shiro at all cost.

Another hundred years would pass before the wolf ever saw Shiro again. During that time the wolf focused on nothing more then getting stronger. He explored more of forest to find and devour stronger hollows. In the hundred year time frame his power had doubled 10 fold. Once again he was at the top of the food chain. Not only had his power increased but, he also learned the art of firing a cero. In the wolfs mind he could finally take Shiro down. For the next filthy years the wolf speant all his time hunting Shiro down. It took an additional twenty-five years but the wolf finally found Shiro.

Wolfy you found me

The wolf wasted no time and fired a several ceros at Shiro. Following the ceros the wolf charged at Shiro. for some reason Shiro didn't fight back and took ceros head on. This surprised the wolf and caused him to sop his attack.

Why are you not fighting back?

Shiro laid on the ground with a smile on his face. The wolf didn't understand and slowly approached the beaten Shiro.

I lied when I told you I was Vastro Lorde. I'm just a Adjuchas like yourself, but together we can become a Vastro Lorde. I gave you my power to put you on the track to become stronger, I knew I couldn't do it by myself. Now devour me so we can become one and reach the true pinnacle of power.

The wolf wasted no time and devoured every last bit of Shiro. At first nothing happen, but after a moment the wolfs entire body started to shake. The shaken eventually lead to his body exploding with reiastu. As the smoke from the explosion cleared the wolf was no longer a wolf. He was now a black humanoid figure with a wolf's mask and hollowifed wings. He no long had wolf claws but razor sharp talons and a long tail. Instead of a mouth full of teeth he had a mouth full of fangs. He was no longer Shiro or the wolf, but an entirly new being. This beings name was Nishi. With his new power Nishi retreated to the depths of the forest. He continued to eat and devour hollows, but instead of being very active like he was before. He had a less active almost lazy demeanor to him.

Arrancar

Another hundred years had passed before Nishi had shown his himself. His power had grown so great that he could devour any hollow he stepped within 10 feet of his reiastu. Nishi would have kept himself hiden, but he heard a rumor about a greater power. Now Nishi didn't care about this greater power, but the two hollows that were made to form him did. Because of this Nishi would always crave and seek out more power. He had a thrust for power that would never end. With his thrust driving him Nishi left the forest and went topside to the white sands. Nishi spent another fifty years roaming the sands looking for this new power.

Nishi had almost given up until he came across another Vastro Lorde hollow. The Vastro Lorde was much weaker then Nishi which is why nishi beat him with much ease. Before Nishi devoured him the hollow begged for his life. The hollows crys for life amused Nishi, but not enough to stop him. Just when Nishi was about to start his feast the hollow said something about a higher power. The hollow promised to tell Nishi how to achive it if Nishi let him live. driven by the power Nishi released the hollow, and sure enough he told him how to achieve the new power. Even though the hollow told Nishi how to get this power Nishi still devoured the hollow. Nishi wanted to be his most powerful when he transcended into this new power.

With no more power to be gained as a regular hollow, Nishi was ready to take that step towards more power. Without hesitation he dug his nails under the rim of his mask, Nishi began to tear the mask from his face. The flesh tore loudly from the base of his face, as the mask slowly pulled off. The sinew tore and shredded, allowing blood to ooze forth. The pain…was…indescribable. Nishi was literally peeling his face off. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. Finally, the mask gave up its fight and fell to the sands with a clink. Now, it was time to feel another feeling for the first time – unimaginable power.

The body of Nishi began to attack itself. The pain that he had felt when removing his mask was now reverberating throughout his body. Reiatsu was pouring from every inch of its body…from every fiber of its existence, and the struggle to be released was more painful than anything it had ever felt. But, it was also more exhilarating than any feeling. It felt odd to be simultaneously in pain and ecstasy, but those were the two predominant feelings. Dropping down to his knees, Nishi grabbed his sides in an apparent self-hug. In all actuality, Nishi was simply trying to not lose himself in the transformation. Slowly, the once razor-talons dulled into human-like hands. The two wings that set so high on his back, sucked into his form. And like a piece of spaghetti being sucked into a hungry mouth, the tail reabsorbed into the body.

The sleek black skin color that had once covered the body of Nishi had been absorbed as well, leaving behind a smooth slightly dark tan skin that revealed rippling musculature. His face flattened and became incredibly human looking, which was somewhat unsettling for Nishi. Finally, the fangs of Nishi rescinded and gave way to smaller more humanoid teeth. And with the final change complete, the pain completely disappeared. Reaching up to feel its face, Nishi touched a softer, smoother face. In the peripheral, Nishi eyed a mask and two swords lying in the sand next to him. The mask and blades beckoned the touch of NIshi…begging for a master. Grasping the blades and mask, he felt the presences of his full power locked inside. He had finally done it, he had reached the ultimate pinnacle of power. He was now an arrancar.


RP Sample:

Nishi stared blankly as both the bala and cero countered and hit. So far he had predicted everything the shinigami would do. Even if the shinigami refused to believe him, Nishi had him figured out.

Since the shinigami's normal attacks would no longer work on Nishi. Nishi knew his power would win the fight. The shinigami knew this too, thats why the only logical thing he could do was go bankai. Which just as Nishi predicted he did.

Just as Nishi had thought the shinigami bankai-ed and tried to attack again, this time with multiple scythes. Nishi knew he wouldn't be able to defend against all them but some was better then none.

Without time to waste Nishi moved his blade to block the scythe coming at his neck. He used his leg and other hand to defend against the scythe attacks coming at his legs and back. Nishi ignored the other two scythes since he had no way to defend against them. Nishi showed no sign of pain as the other scythes dug into his flesh. He kicked himself several feet away from the shinigami and his scythes.

Poor misguided shinigami. I predicted you'd go bankai, thats the only option you have. The funny thing is you think you're the only one who can achive another power level.

Slowly Nishi's reiatsu began to manifest itself around his body.

Desplome la Realidad, Juicio (Collapse Reality, Judgement)

Nishi's reiatsu exploded in a blinding light and he vanished into the light. As the light slowly faded away Nishi stared at the shinigami with a rather disappointed look on his face.

I really didn't want to fight, but you just had too. Now I have to get serious and kill you.

His overall appearance still looked the same except his wounds were gone. The only real difference was the 3 hollow wings on his back. He had the normal two on his back, and the third set in the middle of those two pointed outwards

This is my Segunda Etapa, look upon it well shinigami for it is the last thing your eyes will ever see
