Enzo is a tall and rather thin man. His muscles do not look big, but rather toned. His skin is pale and grayish. His left arm is covered in a wrap from damage sustained in his human form. He sports a gas mask to block his face, hiding the mask that covers the left side, reaching up to his eye to give it a red glow. His clothing currently is rather modern. He wears a loose black t with no defined or stitched collar, and a gray hoodie on top, a good many shades darker than his skin.

name: Abyss Greatsword

Artorias' weapon is a large greatsword that is black with a silver outside, where the blade tapers for it's cutting ability.

release command: Forgive Me

description: Artorias usually lowers his weapons and looks up, before whispering out his command. After that there is a slight glow before darkness surrounds him, a black blacker than black forming a protective circle around him, completely hiding him from sight. After the darness consumes and releases him, he is standing fully armored. His armor is strong, capable of taking heavy hits without breaking.

On the inside, Artorias begins to return slightly to his hollow forms. His body begins to gain a little bit of mass, his nails grow slightly longer. Because of his unremarkability in his adjuchas form, which was very similar to his human form, his physical changes are relatively small, and the biggest change is the grasping of the abyss.

type: Abyssmal/Melee

stat upgrades: +4 han +2 hoh +2 hak

techniques:
Name: Regret
Type: Passive - Orbicular
Cost: Low - Mid on attacks - Last 3 turns, cooldown of 3 turns
Range: Melee, short,
Description: Darkness surrounds Artorias, a black that is darker than black, that absorbs light and creates a deathly cold aura. This aura can be used pulsed, creating an orb of darkness that deals damage, usually knocks down foes -han must be higher than sei- before it returns back.


Name: Sorrow
Type: Passive - Ranged
Cost: Medium - Last two turns for Passive- four turn cooldown- Wave attack has use openly
Range: Melee - Mid
Description: Artorias coats his weapon in abysmal reiryoku. This is quite draining. For every hit, whether it is blocked or hits, it absorbs reiryoku, draining his opponents. It also creates much stronger attacks, mixing his energy with his blade (Adds Hak and Sei together before subtracting half of the highest stat for damage) A smaller amount of reiryoku coating the blade can be fired out. If it makes contact with one, it will deal both physical damage and spiritual damage, giving a much lighter drain of reiryoku, though doing real damage, capable of cutting through steel.


Name: Dispair
Type: Melee
Cost: Mid - Low
Cooldown for block is once every other turn, grapple is once every six
Range: melee, grapple
Description: Reiryoku is collected into Artorias' hand if it's not holding his shield, and it can be used to completely block a weapon -Sei must be greater than buk, or sei must be greater than sei for spiritual attacks- . If this weapon is spiritual, (zanpakuto or fullbringer weaponry) a slight amount of Reiryoku is restored, though hardly a noticeable amount. If hoh is higher than the opponents hoh, then Artorias releases his own blade, and his hand shoots for the face of his opponent, glowing. Once this connection is established, the opponent's body goes limp and is taken to the floor as it's life energy is given as an offering to the abyss, reiryoku is gathered and offered to the abyss. After this grapple Artorias stands and is forced to move away, overloaded for a second with the influx of reiryoku as it drains into his sword and shield to transfer into the abyss. If the target is on the verge of exhaustion, Artorias can make a choice to drain all of the remaining life energy and kill the target-with permission- removing it's soul and offering it to the abyss, or remove the remaining stamina, and leave the opponent in an unconscious state. Artorias may drop his blade and go for the grab without even blocking if he knows his opponents strength is to great.


Name: Grief
Type: Defense
Cost: Mid-High if used to heal
1 turn, three turn cooldown.
Range: Short
Description: Due to the inherit connection between Artorias' sword and shield, he can force his energy through his shield to create a cylinder of energy around his self, capable of protecting him from attacks. His shield can be charged and then given to another to cast the same cylinder to protect them. If a high enough amount of reishi is used, then it can be used to heal (Out side of battle)

note that you cannot start off with segunda etapa. It can be learned once the character reaches MT-2.

description: explain how the appearance of your character changes during segunda and their basic ability. It should build upon the appearance in resurreccion.

type: either list an element, or something else that clearly represents the abilities this character will gain in segunda etapa. Be aware that abilities do not stack (except stat changes), so all resurreccion techniques are replaced with the segunda etapa techniques upon release.

stat upgrades: which stats increase in res and by how much? Only fill this out after you have been given your class/level.

techniques: may have 4 to start. Register these through creation before adding them to your application.

It was the age of fire, before the dawn of man. Light was fading fast, and the great Lord Gwyn had kindled the first bonfire with his very soul, artificially extending his age of fire, the age of the rule of gods. Here enters Artorias, the one known as the abyss walker. One of Gwyn's knights, a terrifyingly strong man, unmatched with a greatsword. Powerful, a killer of the ones of dark, and the savior of the town called Oolacile. But as the flow of time is distorted in the days of old, and worlds are molded together, there lies one world where things were not so clear as they were in the tattered scrolls.

Enzo cannot remember his upbringing. Begging on the streets, learning to use a blade to survive. It was the only way with the curse of the undead impeding on everyone. He learned sorceries from ones of Oolacile, learning to transform, take the shape of others. As he began to grow he found his chance, and he took it as Artorias was close to him one day.

Artorias never saw the blade that day, nor could his armor stop the mail breaker from piercing through the gap between his neck and armor. Though almost all know the story of Artorias, none know of the world of Enzo, the world of the deciever, where the Artorias is not the one of legends. Enzo molded his shape to match the man he murdered, taking his shape and his scent. He became stronger, and offered fragments of his own soul to reinforce and connect the greatsword and greatshield of Artorias to his own soul.

Time went on, and just as it had in so many other worlds, Oolacile began to crumble against the abyss. Enzo was sent to stop it, but just as Artorias had, he succumbed to the darkness, and was killed by once who he had never seen before, one who claimed he was chosen to help. Artorias travelled as a disembodied spirit for some time there, the power of the abyss held him, however he fought the darkness away, kept it from clouding his mind. Now as the worlds and the passage of time is distorted, something happened, a shift, a portal, a change in all.

Enzo had awoken in a time so far from what he knew. Lights flashed, There was so much, so many odd things. After an attempt to move he found himself bound. Held in by chains. He shouted he was not finished, he must defeat the darkness. It seemed even though he was not Artorias, his time lived as him made his morality as close to his as he knew. Time passed and as it did Enzo felt the darkness creeping in, taking over his body. in one last act of defiance he allowed the Abyss to take him, to preserve his body, before he became a monster.

Enzo just remembers eating, and eating, and his form shifting before eating, and eating. Ad far as he can remember he wasn't particularly special. He was merely stronger than the others. He had no special shape, and perhaps that was because of the abyss that had claimed him as his own. There was one night, he remembers so clearly, there was so much pain. It was agonizing. His body was trying to evolve, but he was fighting it. The Abyss fought it, and because of that his body was literally tearing at the seams. It would have severed him had he not reached up and ripped the mask from his very face.

Ever since then he moved along as Artorias. He felt somewhat human again.There was a mask on his face that he could not rip off, which held his eye in a glowing red state. When the abyss grabs hold both eyes turn red and glow with intensity. The espada found him, and they were confused with him, they pushed him, attacked him, and Artorias reached out, and in a black glow his weapons were pulled from the abyss and he fought them off, before being recruited by them, to become an Espada.
