General Personality: In detail, try to flesh out exactly who your character is.
Holliette is a very calm spirit when compared to most of the other Quincies around the church. She is known to be kind and respectful at heart, humble in her acts to give assistance to her fellow Saints and their cause, however much she chooses to handle anyway. She is soothing and wise, often coming off as a sisterly figure to some and a motherly figure to others. She understands that not all of them are as fond of her open-mindedness as others, but she's glad to make sure everyone is doing well. She definitely means well for all of them, and though some of her choices aren't always justified, they are always in good heart for the name of God's peace.
Unlike a majority of Quincies in the church, she has no hatred towards the Shinigami or Hollows that inhabit their land. If anything, she often thinks about what their perspectives could possibly be, since they have families and different cultures. She is aware of how distressing these thoughts are, which is why she often keeps this information to herself to avoid consequences. She does, however, have a sense of discomfort with how serious and battle-bound her people are, how much they decide to push into a military-based Vatican. This disturbs her to her core, seeing her people walking the path of violence. Still, she herself is prepared to defend herself should the path stray too far for them.
To her, everyone is a sinner that deserves to be given wisdom and comfort, whatever life they've lived. All have sinned, all have suffered, in one way or another. Even the wise are foolish in their own way, and even she is foolish as well for thinking there is hope for a more peaceful time, where they don't have to fight their polar opposites. The best way she can make a difference in her people is by following the best of teachings; Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. She is adamant with this teaching, and will prove that even in times of conflict, love and kindness is the ultimate weapon to ensure true victory.
History: A life is filled with stories. What’s your characters story? What events or actions have brought them to where they are now?
The life of this girl was not one of great renown as others of her people, as she was one of a very very unlucky few quincy girls that had been born completely blind. Holliette couldn't see anything, not even the faces of her own parents. Only the darkness. This proved to be very problematic for their group, as this restriction would make her training as a quincy student extremely frustrating to work with. Because of her problem, she couldn't use a bow or even direct her spells in any way. Nonetheless, they persevered through this handicap with open-mindedness, love and the grace of God.
She was kept in isolation, only able to interact with her parents and the priestess that helped with her daily blessings. Through her years, however, it was hard for her to even see if this lack of sight was a blessing or a curse. That was, however, until her true potential with her Reiatsu awakened.
One day, while she was 11, when her parents returned from an errand for the day, they came across a white crow sitting on the table, with Holli standing right beside it. She then looked directly at them without assistance for the first time. She declared that she can finally see, not with her eyes, but through the eyes of the crow. This was a huge wake-up call for them, noticing how special her powers were. They needed to refine it, for her sake and for the church's.
So, over the next few years, she began her training with the help of the crow she summoned, which eventually went on to become a small collection of crows that followed her command. Her use of a bow and arrow were very precise and well tuned, and her nimbleness in combat with her other weapons was graceful in nature. She quickly proved herself worthy of the respect of the other students around her. Every day, she had at least two crows resting on her shoulders to help her see. Though, this power wasn't very popular with some of the prideful branches in the church.
Despite her popularity, she was still the target of a few bullies that slipped under the radar of the teachers. She was occasionally mocked and pushed around because of her blindness, and she really wasn't proud of it.
Then, one afternoon, things went too far. The bullies came back with more than just a simple prank. They wanted to take her for themselves. They grabbed her and pinned her to the wall as their eyes glared at her, the girl's life in their hands.
Then she started to feel... fear. Anger. Sorrow. Confusion. Desperation. So many distressing emotions rushed through her mind as she felt her power spike from within. Her body emanated with spiritual power, making the boys back off in shock.
She screamed and panicked, her energy separating from her body and taking the form of several more white crows taking to the sky. More and more sprouted from her body as they started to fill the air, being seen by all near and far around the church. Holli fell to her knees and covered her ears, the sound of cawing crows drowning most of the sound around them. Then, the muffled sounds of the boys screaming went to her ears as the crows swarmed around the bullies, pecking, piercing and slashing at them until, when she finally opened her eyes, a bloodied pile of bodies was laid before her. She held herself as the crows rested on their feet around both her and the bodies, crying to herself as other quincy began to come in and get a glimpse of what she had done. For the first time in her life, she felt like a cursed child.
From then on, she began to see their world differently. Everyone around her had their vices, their own sense of sin. They hated something, had problems they all had to overcome, even if they refused to show them. She began to sense the pain, wrath, and sorrow of all beings that were in the eyes of her crows. She came to the conclusion that all the quincy around their church were deluded, foolish in their blind belief that ending the shinigami and hollow threats in the name of God was the right thing to do. She was surrounded by fools. Even she was a fool. For all have sinned, and have lost their sense of communion.
She practiced time and time again to hone her powers, advancing in her skills with the bow and the sword even without her sight, her arrows adapting special wings and eyes of their own, becoming precise homing arrow blasts that were unique compared to other quincy's arrows. It wasn't long before her work was paying off as she gained a new level of power with her Volttstandig, Before she knew it, she was anointed as the almighty Saint of Fools, becoming one of the church's best followers. Although, this was part of her goal. To ascend to leadership and work hard to change the church, leading it into a new age of hope and tranquility.
The time will come. She just needs to be patient, and hopeful that things will get better.
Faction: The Holy See
Rank: Saint of Fools
Physical Abilities: Fighting is going to be a big part of this roleplay’s process. What are your characters physical attributes? How do they engage in combat situations? Do they have any specific abilities or powers? The stronger your character, the more detail expected.
Archery Expert >> Despite not being able to see, she's able to utilize her spells to enhance her use of a bow, giving her an incredible range to utilize her precision and tactical prowess in positioning her arrows. She's pretty fast on the draw as well, making her a deadly foe when it comes to long-range combat.
Combat Prowess >> She is very proficient in the art of close combat, using her swords to great effect on the battlefield. Not only is she agile with her strike, but she also adds a lot of grace to her attacks with how fluid her movements are.
Hirenkyaku Acrobatic >> Her specialty in utilizing this technique for maneuverability is highly admirable, allowing her to move gracefully and swiftly to avoid attacks from her opponents. This is further enhanced using her crows for added environmental familiarity.
Expert Reiatsu Manipulator >> She is a high-level professional when it comes to taking control of the Reiatsu around her for her spells and her weapons, including her bow. Ever since she crafted her crow-summoning spell when she was younger, she strived to get this part of her arsenal to heights that were renowned even by the Most Reverend Cardinal herself. This gives her a much longer and stronger use time for all of her spells and abilities thanks to her intense focus.
Quincy Spells: Outside of their bow and physical attributes, Quincy have a set of spells used for additional combat. Assuming your character isn’t an average joe, please list all spells that your character will use.
Immanuel "God is Among Us"
>>>Due to her blindness, she adapted her immense Reiatsu to help her see. A little too well in fact. Small fractions of her spirit energy can be constructed into separate entities, taking the form of white crows. These birds have their sight connected to her to replace her physically inferior eyes, allowing her to see through multiple lenses at a time to track anything and everything at once while in their field of view. Due to how powerful her energy is, she can create huge flocks of these crows to help her in combat as well as extend her sight for miles in whatever direction they fly in. Every single crow follows her mental command, as they are full extensions of her Reiatsu. They are capable of incredibly fast flight and are capable of dangerous self defense if disturbed.
Reiryoku Sensory >> Thanks to her condition, she managed to gain an enhanced form of this ability, allowing her to sense forms of Reiatsu from long distances, even able to determine how strong they are as well as notice subtle differences with each one.
Blut Vene >> A special skill that allows Quincy to pump Reishi through their blood vessels, allowing their defensive and regenerative capabilities to increase tremendously.
Blut Arterie >> Similar to Blut Vene in its initialization, it instead focuses on increasing the blood flow to simulate an adrenaline rush, increasing speed and offensive capabilities.
Hirenkyaku >> The Quincy equivalent to Shunpo or Sonido, allowing her to move at high speeds by focusing her energy to her feet to greatly increase her movement.
Ransōtengai >> Also known as "Heavenly Wild Puppet Suit", this technique allows her to use strings of Reiatsu controlled by her brain to form strings made of Reishi that connects to her whole body, or just individual body-parts. Utilizing this technique, a Quincy can control and move their body parts like a marionette, allowing them to move and act even with severe bodily injuries and disabling conditions.
Vollständig: Herrenaugen (Eyes of the Lord)
>>>The pinnacle of a Quincy's power, known as the Holy Form, able to allow the Quincy to fight with their full potential in a battle. Her physical state awakens, her clothes changing to a more graceful form of cloth covering her body a little less, yet still preserving the dress-like look. Her body remains it's normal size, yet her eyes become pitch-black and her veins spread out under her eyes, glowing a bright blue. The same glowing veins spread around her lower arms and lower legs. Her wings are like large and thick, expansive tree branches, intricate and strong in form. Throughout her wings and around her body, she grows tons of various eyes placed symmetrically around her body, all that share the same eye color as herself. Her halo takes the form of a star-like structure that hovers over her head, with a round ring in the center of it.
Abilities:
Die allsehende Schande (The All-Seeing Shame)
>>>While this power is in full form, any and all beings that look upon her, especially her eyes, will be inflicted with grief and regret from any and all painful memories they've ever experienced in their lives, the essence of this Holy Form bringing it out for all to witness. As an extension of this, she can create a dome around herself and her opponent covered with innumerable eyes, preventing them from ever escaping her gaze, in order to keep them constantly feeling that regret and despair. Also, Holliette not only gains enhances vision range with this form, but she becomes completely immune to all forms of visual deception from anyone around her, from disguises and secrets being clearly seen to even the strongest of illusions cast upon her having little to no effect. Where with her physical eyes she sees nothing, here in this form she sees everything. As the eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Holy Aspect of the Fool: Demütigende Weisheit (Humbling Wisdom)
>>>Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a person of understanding. When she uses this aspect, an aura envelopes her body and any spells she uses as a protective armor. Any being, object or energy-based attack that attempts to harm her or her constructs will cause a similar effect to a highly repulsive magnet, preventing the attack from even touching and bouncing it back like recoil from a gun. However, the same effect will be done if she tries to cause harm to others, bouncing back her own attacks as well.
Misc. Items: Does your character have any items which enhance or supplement their combat abilities. Please list all if so.
Twin Swords "Peter and Paul" >> These are her two specially crafted Reiatsu-cutting swords, properly fitted to suit her needs in close combat.
Quincy Cross: All Quincy primarily summon their bow from a cross-like item. Please provide a physical description of your character’s cross. Visual reference is suggested.
This is a cross that is slightly larger than the typical Quincy Cross, having a mostly silver body with crevices on the ends that glow a bright blue when empowered.
Helig Bogen: The Quincy bow. Helig Bogen come in all shapes and sizes. What does your Helig Bogen look like? Does it have any inherent abilities worth noting? What it’s name? Please do be detailed here.
Her bow, called Klingenflügel (Razorwing), is known to be very elegant in nature, having glowing wing designs making up the build of the bow.
Heilig Pfeil: When focused, she can mend part of her Reiatsu into her arrows to adapt them into another part of her eyesight, just like her crows. The end of the arrows gain an "eye" that let's her see in front of the arrow before and after she fires, the shot using wing-like structures to allow the shot to change trajectory at her leisure until it either loses enough energy to disappear or it hits a target.
