Methias Stelligar

[Methias]

Shinigami Template

Name: Stelligar, Methias

Age: 280

Visual Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Methias stands at a relatively high six foot tall, not too tall, but big enough to be eye catching. His hair is of the darkest of black, almost as if a ray of sunlight had never touched upon it. It is just long enough to reach his chin at it's longest points, and is style'd in no particular way, as if he had just woken up and got out of bed like it. His somewhat blood red eye's tend to gaze upon the world with a genuine hint of empathy. With but a petite nose and thin lips, he tends to be a rather attractive young man, a man many a woman would become weak-knee'd over.

His clothing consists of many an item, although the look is only complete once all are taken into account. His trousers are of the same shade of his hair, the darkest of blacks that can almost pierce your eye's as a bright light would. They sit tightly around his waist, yet are somewhat loose around the leg department, apparently for comfort. While this is not as extreme as most Shinigami's pants, the fact that they are baggy remains noticable. His chest tends to be covered by a black top, the typical Shinigami uniform at this stage. However, unlike most Shinigami, he wears a long black trench coat. This coat reaches down past his knees, and is always left undone. The reason behind this strange uniform is unknown, but for a man in his position, nobody really questions it. The Kido Corps are wrapped in mystery, at least that's what most say. He oddly decides to wear boots instead of the Shinigami's favored waraji. This in itself is a personal comfort issue that most seemed to just accept.

At all times, he has a piece of fabric wrapped around both hands, much like a boxer does before a fight. The reason for this is unknown, but then again, nobody has really ever asked.

As for his body type, some could consider him thin, whilst others would consider him athletic. He is a bit on the thin side, yet his whole body is relatively muscular.

Personality:
Methias is a genuinely kindhearted person, able to see the good in anyone and almost anything. This is apparent in his way of fighting, as he tends to set himself boundaries, as to not outright kill an opponent if they are weaker than he is. He will often try to help people for apparently no reason, and will in fact risk his own life for the safety and comfort of others. Due to this nature, however, he is incredibly emotional, and is likely to snap if someone were to attack his friends or allies.

If he were to snap, he would become somewhat of a berserker, relentlessly attacking the one who made him snap until they were nothing more than a smoldering corpse rotting six feet under. During this state he appears to feel no pain, no remorse, and only the hatred that fueled the rage. This is but a double edged sword, as he is likely to push himself beyond his limits, and through any injury he may incur, inevitably causing him to make a minor injury serious, or worse.

Another one of Methias' most interesting personality traits would be his mild vanity. Albeit he is kind in nature, his actions appear to be that of some kind of comic book villain who cares that little bit too much about their appearance. He hates feeling ugly to the opposite sex, and makes sure to be eye-catching at any turn. He is also likely to act flirtatious around women he finds attractive, often giving a heart pounding smile, or a sly wink. However, he is definitely not a ladies man, and is very respectable to women in conversation.

He doesn't really appear to hate anything, his ability to try and see good in anything tends to prevent the hatred. However, one thing he truly detests in those who kill for the pleasure of it. Fighting could always be considered fun, yet if one was to attack an innocent and cut their life short, well, they would deserve the same action done to them without a moments hesitation.

He is also -very- respectable, and gives respect to those around him as if they were at the same level as him. He speaks with a highly emotional tone, sounding a bit like someone who is full of love, happiness and joy. However, when it is required of him to be serious, his voice changes into an almost sinister sound, a slight hint of possible malice being heard within. This is also the voice he uses in battle, if he were to consider speaking.

Half-Mask State

Methias' masked state is somewhat an oddity amongst Vizard. It seems to have been born in an unusual way even for a being of that status. It is said to be a curse of being born Male in the Stelligar family, and likely to be a defect passed down through the generations. As such, this creature could be considered the embodiment of negativity. The darkness within a persons heart has to take form, and Methias' is the inner hollow.

When this creature breaks free, Methias turns from a knight to a demon. His attacks become relentless, almost nonstop, and he himself has absolutely no control once he has snapped. He will attack enemy and ally as if they were one and the same.

Nicknames: -

Likes: (AT LEAST 5)
Helping people: He's a genuinely friendly person, and wants to help people in any way he can.

Women: What straight man doesn't like women? They are cuddly things that can make a man feel better than anything!

Looking attractive to the opposite sex: He's a very, very vein man. While he doesn't come across as this in front of people, he often spends an hour looking at himself in the mirror to make sure he has that pretty boy look.

Khione: His Zanpaktou, spirit, and friend. While she could be considered a representation of his power, he fights with her more than any other. As such, their relationship is typical of "Master and Apprentice".

Kido: Oddly, he use to struggle with Kido. However, he was a person that could perform it very effectively once he learned how to use it properly. Because he found it hard, he found a strange enjoyment out of it. Practicing Kido is now one of his favorite pass-times.

Dislikes: (AT LEAST 5)
Hollow Take-over: One thing he truly dislikes is the way he loses his free will when the beast within takes over. The feeling of helplessness deep within himself makes him feel worthless.

Being denied: This one is about women. He truly hates being told to be on his way when it comes to women. He wants them to see him as he see's himself, a very good looking man that everyone wants to sleep with...

Needless killing: This is something Methias feels very passionate about. Killing should be something done as a last resort, or against hollow kind. Killing someone just because you feel like it is wrong, and those that do deserve the same swift death that they grant upon others. However, oddly, he appears to accept it from close friends.

Spiders: Methias is a bit of a pansy when it comes to spiders. During his time in the human world, he was often seen screaming like a little girl whenever one was near him, let alone when they walked on him.

Hollow / Arrancar: An obvious one, for a Shinigami. They are his natural enemies, and as such, desires to grant them a swift cleansing and return them to Rukognai where they belong.

Habits/quirks: (3-5)
Flicking his hair: He is often seen flicking his hair with a free hand. This gets his hair out of his eye's, but recently has become more habit than a neccessity.

Folding his arms across his chest: Many wouldn't consider this a habit, but in Methias' case, it certainly is. This only comes out when he is feeling nervous. Once that happens, he tried to keep himself closed up from the outside world, thus closing his arms together.

Snapping his fingers as he casts a Kido: An unusual habit, and one only utilized when he casts a Kido skipping the incantation. After speaking the number and name of the kido, he clicks his fingers, and the kido initiates.

Ex-Rank: Lieutenant

Ex-Division: Fifth Division

Specialties: Ambidextrous: Methias can use anything wielded in his left hand as well as his right. This allows him to do a great amount of every day tasks with a much higher level of ease. No more shall a man be limited to writing with one hand!

History:

The Stelligar Legend and Curse: How it came to be

Spoiler:

The birth

Methias was born as the fifth ever son of the Stelligar Family, one of the lesser known noble family's in the Soul Society. However, his birth was nothing more than an omen to those who witnessed it. The Stelligar family was one that gave birth to only girls, and the birth of a male child within the family could mean only one thing. This child would have the power to save, or destroy the world. The only thing they could do was to do as the legend said they must do if such an inevitability were to occur. To kill the child. This was to be done on the childs seventh birthday, or the entire family would die.

And as such, he lived the life of a normal child, being raised up not knowing of his inevitable death, or his family's despise of him. However, he was often left to his own devices, living without the feeling of love being taught to him. It was due to this, however, his own heart opened up to the outside world, becoming an incredibly loving young boy, who regularly wondered off outside to help insignificant creatures who were going to die.

Time passed quickly, however, and on the night before his seventh birthday his dinner had been injected with a form of sleeping mixture. This was to put him in, of course, a deep sleep, and enable their ritual to begin. Methias remembers nothing of this moment, only a voice as he came to. A male voice, and a voice he would never hear again. Instead, he woke up several days later in the Squad Four Barracks. He had recovered from the effects of the poisoning, and was gradually getting back to his previous state and much, much more. He was taken to the fourth division to recover for one reason, it was said that his spiritual pressure was through the roof. He would be an excellent candidate for the Shinigami Academy.

Shingami Academy

Several years had passed. Methias was introduced to the Shinigami Academy at the young age of 50, considerably younger than any one there. However, that did not stop him from progressing at a relatively rapid rate. It was quite apparent to many of the instructors that his Spiritual Pressure was rising year by year, and that his speed was definately an incredible asset. Heck, even his skill in hand to hand combat and Zanjutsu were above most. In Kido, he was a slow learner. However, even as slow a learner as he was, once he mastered a Kido, he was incredibly effective with it. It was assumed that if he could learn to do something, he would be able to utilize what he had learned at the highest possible level.

After one hundred years, he had progressed into the Gotei 13, aged 150. His immediate seat was fifth, in the Seventh Division. This man was one of the few gifted enough to take a high seat upon entering the Gotei 13. Many were jealous, and rightfully so. But alas, they didn't say anything. They too could see the evolution of his abilities. He had already released his Shikai, and was gradually proving himself to be a formidable Hollow Slayer.

Gotei 13: Squad 7

There was one mission that was considerably noteworthy. He was sent to earth, to defend a small town against attacks from Hollow. The position would last for only a month, but during that time there was many an attack. Each and every one was defeated by his hands. Until, that is, that fateful day. Something came through a Garganta, far stronger than a normal Hollow. An Adjuchas. An evolution of a Gillian, with powers said to rival that of the newer Captains. Being the only man there, Methias stepped up to subdue the attack and defend the spirits of this small town. However, no matter how much potential he had, he wasn't strong enough yet. He fought hard, but in the end, found himself at the mercy of the Shinigami enemy.

Luckily, however, the moment before the final blow could be struck, a Captain appeared. The Captain of the Fifth Division. This man saved Methias, but had seen enough to want him in his division. Upon returning to Soul Society, Methias joined the Fifth Squad.

Squad 5

Several years had passed, Methias eventually reaching the rank of Lieutenant in the Fifth division. During this time, he found himself wondering more and more about the Hollow-kind, for reasons even he could not quite understand. It was during this time he had eventually returned to the Stelligar House, and asked them why he was intended to be put to death by the age of seven. What was revealed was a truly frightening situation.

The Stelligar Family had a curse running deep within their veins. It was said that any male born into the family would turn to the darkness, and be consumed by a power far beyond their own reasoning. Death was certain, be it the death of the child, the death of all evil, or the death of the world. The risk was not worth the reward, and they had to destroy them in order to end that risk. But that risk was out in the world now, and it was too late for them to do anything.

Methias, however, shrugged this off. He didn't believe what they had to say. Legends were just that, legends. He continued his life in the Fifth squad happily for the next few years.

The fruits of his labour

Another ten years had passed, and Methias had obtained Bankai. The final state of Shinigami prowess. The meeting with his family was now nothing more than a distant memory, and becoming the best he could be was the only thing on Methias' mind. His Bankai, while incredible that he had obtained it, was still in the development stage. He was struggling to use it for any longer than a few moments, and his capabilities with it were generally lack-luster. He continued training, however, and before long he was sent back to earth one more time. To defend the same town, as a matter of fact. However, this town had now grown into a full blown city. Things would be much more interesting this time around.

As the days turned to weeks, Methias was coping fine. Yet something was bothering him. The Hollow that attacked him years before, he could sense its smell in the air. His suspicions were quickly proven right, when an Arrancar entered the area and started destroying the city. Appearing to do battle, Methias got the first hit in this time. However, it did nothing. His skin was as hard as steel. As the battle raged on, he fought with all his might, eventually using the Bankai he had worked so hard to obtain. However, as he utilized the strongest attack in his arsenal, something happened. Something so dark and twisted his mind would never be the same again.

Something took hold of him. Something controlled his body that wasn't him. And for only a few moments, his abilities were at their theoretical maximum. As the final blow was dealt, white dust shattered to the ground, disappearing into the darkness. It had awakened.

Sixty Years later - Exile

He still couldn't control the darkness within him. It would come out whenever he used his Bankai's highest level of ability. This proved to be an issue that would change his life forever. Once again being sent to Karakura Town, he ended up in a battle with... Something else. Something far more powerful than he could have ever imagined. And this was the thoughts of a man considered to be a likely candidate for Captaincy. This creature? An Arrancar, but this one had something very unique about it. The number five.

A member of the Espada, making their presence known to the outside world. He had no idea what the Espada was, but he knew one thing. These beasts were potentially more powerful than the Captains of Soul Society. A Hollow who had finally progressed to the stage where it could remove its mask. Moving to do battle, Methias found himself far tighter on the defensive aspect than he had ever been. Every attack was a challenge, and every movement he made seemed that little bit slower than his opponent. Before long, he knew he had to call out his Bankai.

And for a while, that was enough. He had the upper hand, and had even managed to get a couple of strong blows on the beast itself. However, the Quinto Espada had another ace up its sleeve. "Resurreccion". Upon releasing its own Zanpaktou, it truly began to overpower Methias. Every attack he made felt like nothing. And, unlike before, every attack being used on him he knew could be his last. That's when he heard 'his' voice. The voice of the darkness that found itself tucked tightly into his soul. To live, they needed each other. However, Methias wouldn't allow his body to be taken over again.

"It doesn't matter anyway... Your body shall be mine soon enough."

Methias continued to fight hard, before utilizing a technique which placed a frosty barrier between him and his opponent. He could feel him taking over. He had used his Bankai for long enough now that his help was needed. The mask formed upon his face.

The next thing he knew, he was kneeling on the floor. Gasping for air, every part of his body was in pain. I had been used to its highest possible point, and he was exhausted. The Espada was nowhere to be seen, but Methias knew that eventually they would make an appearance again. He had to learn to control this power, otherwise next time he might not wake up. Then he saw something he really didn't want to see. A female, a Shinigami no less, watching over him. She had seen everything. But Methias had one advantage on his side, she was afraid. Scared that he would come for her. Shaking his head, he simply said the last words he has been recorded saying.

"Tell Soul Society I said goodbye... And thank you."

A new start

As the years continued to pass, he wondered the world of the living. He fought Hollows, and kept the world as safe as he possibly could. However, he was still being haunted by the voice in his head. He had to find someone to help him, but who would know what to do? He found himself listening to rumors of a masked group of Rogue Shinigami, who's powers rivaled that of gods. As time continued to pass, he found himself beginning a journey to find these people, and to know if his power could really be controlled. Today, he is still searching for the masked. The Vizard.

Role Play Sample:

Spoiler:

^
This is a sample of what I would consider an "Average" post, although personally I consider it a bit below my average in both quality and length due to writers block :<.

Anyway, writing this, I placed Methias in the time he was a Lieutenant, and not a Captain. No attack I make will be an auto-hit in RP, but that was an NPC so... *Shrugs*

Also, I'm not sure what your opinion on an upcoming Vizard is... He's still in the process, so I can understand if this is on hold until details or worked out, or if I will have to edit the Vizardness out for now.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Hope you enjoy the application and thank you for taking your time to read it.

Methias.

[Raven]

'proved as far as the character goes.


Hollow bit will come under approval or denial later...

[~*Cross*~]

1. I'm not exactly liking parts of this history. And I will show you why.

He still couldn't control the darkness within him. It would come out whenever he used his Bankai's highest level of ability. However, because it only came out then, he was able to pass the Captain's Exam. Passing this exam recently, he has earned the title of Captain of the Kido Corps. His story continues from here.

That quote suggests that he became a Captain after showing off his Vizard powers. If that was the case, your character would have been locked up and possibly executed or even exiled. So I suggest you actually coming up with an Arc for this. One that shows him becoming a Vizard, which then leads to him leaving Soul Society.

[Methias]

Modified, hopefully that will do. Feel free to comment on whatever you wish for me to change.

Methias

[~*Cross*~]

Erm..my major issue after reading this history, is the fact that you were born a Vizard. Never mind the legendary cliche of a male being born that will be super awesome and all. However the idea of being born with Vizard powers is a no, no for me. If I were you, I'd had some unknown person in that injected you or turned you into a Vizard. Heck, the Stelligar family could be behind it, so one half of the family wanted to use you for good. The other half wanted to dominate using Hollow powers. Which ever way you choose to flip, just don't be born a Vizard. Its powers you can through unnatural means and all.

[Methias]

New section added to history. Rest remains the same, as the new section explains the past, and essentially what really happened to Methias, without involving him at all... Hope that's alright xP

Methias

[Captain Commander]

Zekke. Vaizards are closed D: Don't try to find a loophole around it boy D<

[Methias]

But there's like 4 already :<

Anyway Jaden, if I edit out the area's where he has had a half mask encounter, and keep the 'potential' for it to come out for when they are opened again (So I have a semi-acceptable reason instead of 'lol I'm cool and I can be a Vizard now'), and go through the process IC when they are opened again... That cool?

And as I will go Shinigami, is it possible to have a Lieutenant with Bankai? Renji level or so?

Thanks either way, it shouldn't be too hard to change whatever needs to be changed xP <3

Methias

[Captain Commander]

Because we have history, Ill allow that. Though id allow that anyway.

Hmm. I like the idea of a Bankai Level Lieutenant. Let me talk it over with staff.

Plus, your hair is mine bitch D<

[Methias]

Intense <.<

[Captain Commander]

LOL wtf does that mean

[Methias]

2. Extreme in degree, strength, or size: intense heat.

[Captain Commander]

For now you have to be a Lieutenant until we allow Vaizard. Approved
