I realise this thread may be somewhat early, considering Val'nyne is not yet approved (or, for that matter, reviewed), but I also feel this should be officially released to allow anyone interested to take a look, perhaps get a few ideas and potentially have a new character to work on and ultimately add to the RP experience here on Bleached Soul. What I offer here are full characters - not NPC, so remember that when writing up and designing the powers of the characters!
I am including what the key aspects of the characters should be, in addition to -potentially- what the powers could be. However, how to interpret and justify everything, I shall leave to those who pick up the characters.
The Warlord, the being known as Val'nyne, is not a being known for many friends. He is a being of terror and death and destruction, who commands respect and fear but rarely love and companionship - his fellow Espada are allies but not friends. His Fraccion, however, are different - they are the only ones to have known him, to have worked with him for centuries, and they each share some kind of bond with the Espada. Each have their own title and role bestowed upon them by Val'nyne, for whilst they may be the closest things he has to friends, they have such a privileged status because of their skill and loyalty.
Name: Reaver, Taghest
Title: The Hand of Fire
Role: The Right Hand Man of Val'nyne, Taghest is sent out on missions of importance that are in some way unsuitable for others. He is the most powerful, overall, of Val'nyne's Fraccion.
Age: >700
Gender: Male
Key Traits: Young, dressed in silver armour of similar (yet much lighter) design to his master. Utterly loyal to Val'nyne and of the Fraccion, the one who would truly be Val'nyne's friend. Almost as subservient to other Espada - he will generally follow orders from his superiors unless he has very good reason not to. Treats all battle with pragmatism but his enemies with respect and honour - the fallen are allowed to live if worthy and killed if not, for Taghest does not feel it is his place to judge the strong, brave or otherwise worthy.
Taghest is intelligent and has a very strong grasp of strategy - planning in the art of war is a great strength of his. His powers are similar to Val'nyne's in that they are fire-based.
Name: Deramont Kais
Title: The Creator
Role: Deramont is blessed with the ability to change what exists around him - he acts to support his fellow Fraccion in whatever way he can.
Age: ~1000
Gender: Male
Key Traits: Old, with greying hair. Reserved, calm, and wise. Deramont is easily the most intelligent and friendly of the Fraccion, but this applies only to his fellow arrancar - he maintains the guise when meeting shinigami but is truly ruthless and desires their death. He treats the other Fraccion as his children, particularly the Magannak siblings. He is just as loyal as Taghest to his master, but lacks the power that Taghest possesses.
Deramont's speciality is in defence and support - he can manipulate sand and stone, and can channel his reiatsu through sand and stone to attack and heal.
Name: Judge Magennak
Title: All-Detester
Role: Judge is a recruiter, seeking new hollows and arrancar to join Val'nyne, in addition to being an enforcer, torturer and generally brute force.
Age: >700 (Equal to Linari)
Gender: Male
Key Traits: Large, heavily built. Usually friendly enough and fairly well-adjusted for an arrancar, using reiatsu for even simple tasks gives Judge terrible headaches - ironic, for he possesses more reiatsu than his fellow Fraccion. In these circumstances he is cruel and sadistic, his hollow nature coming forth. Judge feeds exclusively on captured/defeated shinigami. He treats Deramont with respect and Taghest with envy. Judge is quiet and rarely speaks when calm - when afflicted by his headaches he is much more intelligent and talkative, surprisingly.
Judge is naturally very strong, and his abilities are related to pain - the more he is under the smarter and more 'evil' he becomes.
Name: Linari Magennak
Title: The Seducer
Role: The Fraccion Val'nyne pays least addition to, yet a Fraccion of strategic importance, Linari acts as a spy and investigator.
Age: >700 (Equal to Judge)
Gender: Female
Key Traits: Beautiful. Loyal to Val'nyne for protecting her, if not for caring about her, and fiercely protective of her fellow Fraccion, especially Deramont. The kindest of the Fraccion in spirit, Linari hides behind a cold emotional mask. Refuses to trust any arrancar save her fellow Fraccion and Val'nyne, but will still follow orders from superiors. Despite her kindness, she will still use her powers to benefit those she cares about/demands her assistance, even if it causes pain and death to others - although such actions leave her depressed often.
Linari is intelligent, but lacks in direct offensive and defensive powers. Instead, she has powers to transform her body to a certain degree, and powers to confuse, attract or sicken her targets.
I am including what the key aspects of the characters should be, in addition to -potentially- what the powers could be. However, how to interpret and justify everything, I shall leave to those who pick up the characters.
