Seraph is often, if not always, seen wearing a long White coat that reach all the way down to his ankles. Silver colored pauldrons cover his shoulders, but oddly no pieces of his mask are visible on his face. These are actually the shoulder pauldrons that cover his shoulder. These remnants of his hollow mask are hard enough to protect Seraph from shoulder strikes, should it even occur. The top of the coat is open, revealing his sculpted chest and his hollow hole, located in the center of his chest with a diameter of 3 inches. His hollow hole however is covered by black leather suspenders that cross in front of the hole underneath his coat. On his back is his Espada Tattoo, the number Eight.

His hair is Silver in color and very long with bangs that are parted to the sides of his face. His eyes are green and have the appearance similar to a cat'sor reptile's eyes. He has a fair complexion that matches his silver hair. Also as noted in his personality he wears, naturally, a face of sorrow despite his true feelings. A slight frown is ever present on his face, unless in battle, and his eyes are usually half closed as if to keep from weeping. It is not rare to find him with his back hunched and his head drooped downward.

None other than his Zanpakuto

name: Abyss

release command: Fall into the shadows

description:Changes to the sword's appearance is slight. The only thing that is different about the sword is the hilt and the fact it becomes 8 ft. in length . Both the hilt and the hilt gaurd is solid black during his Resurrección. There is some changes to his body however. His eyes become a more cyan color than green, and he grows a single black wing from his back. His aura becomes a black color and forms the outline of five more wings on his back with three on each side, fulfilling his name as Seraph.The ability to control over the element fire offensively either to augment his sword strikes, or to create fire based energy attacks is obtained during his resurreccion.



type: Fire/Physical

stat upgrades: Hoh: +4
Rei +4

techniques:
For: Resurreccion
Name: Flame Blitz
Type:Offensive
Cost: low
Range: Short
Description:Seraph causes flames to run down his sword and then performs a series of six quick slashes. These can be combined with a Sonida to make his series of slashes much quicker. Due to the nature of the attack, the attack has no charging period, but has a cooldown of 2 posts without the sonida and 3 posts with the sonida.


For:Resurreccion
Name: Flare
Type:Offensive
Cost: High
Range: Mid-long
Description:Similar to Bala and perhaps Cero, Seraph charges a ball of orange energy in his hand and fires it at the enemy. Once within a six foot radius The ball of energy splits into six other balls of energy and begins to surround and circle the enemy. With a downward motion of his sword the balls of energy embed themselves into the ground. With an upward motion a great pillar of fire is charged underneath the enemy's feet. The pillar of fire is around 12 feet in diameter and would travel upward to consume the enemy. Due to the extensive nature because the steps needed for the attack, many opportunities would be given for the enemy to dodge or prevent the attack.
The steps are broken down below and take one turn each to perform unless stated otherwise:

1):Charging- takes around 2 posts. Can still fight while charging but cannot use any other technique.
2):Firing: Firing the ball of energy and it splitting/embedding into the ground takes one post
3) Boom: The pillar of fire firing takes one post.
This attack can only be used once a thread.



For: Resurreccion/Cero
Name: Angel's Breath
Type:Offensive
Cost: Medium
Range: Short-Mid
Description: It starts by charging a Cero in his mouth. Before firing Seraph decomposes the Cero, and compresses the energy, making it appear as if he decided not to fire it. Then he releases it in the same fashion as a normal Cero. The only difference is the output. The energy that makes up this variant of the Cero bounces wildly instead of moving in a straight direction, giving it the appearance of fire. Also because of this it is harder to deflect, for not all particles are moving in the exact direction. This also murders its range but is perfect for close range engagements. The effects are also the same as a normal Cero, but with an added burning effect. If hit full on, there is a possibility of complete incineration. However, rarely will he fire it without the enemy prepared. A graze or partial hit will give 2nd or 3rd degree burns. This technique has a cooldown of 5 posts.



For:Resurrecion
Name: Meteor Shower
Type: Offensive
Cost: Low- Medium
Range: Mid-Long
Description: Charged similarily to Angel's Breath, only differing in its firing. Instead of a cero being fired, several Bala-like fire projectiles are fired. If hit by one, burning won't be as severe as with Angel's Breath, but if hit by multiple projectiles, the victim should expect severe burning. There is a 3 post cooldown after use.

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:

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

Seraph became a hollow on new years day, 1697. When becoming hollow, his mind could not take the transition, and lost all his memories. Seraph had become feral, feasting on many souls within the span of a hundred years due to the American Revolutionary war. After the war, souls became rarer than they were during the war due to Shinigami arriving in time to pass them on. Soon the multitudes of Hollow inside the United States Dispersed to the rest to other parts of the world. Seraph himself would go to Europe, where wars and souls were plentiful and ripe for the taking.

Small wars satisfied him barely, until he became more powerful due to his "Eating habits". When Napoleon's push to Russia started, Seraph followed close behind, collecting the souls of the recent dead. However Napoleon's invasion would be unsuccessful because of the Russian winter and heavy losses. The French turned back, but Seraph did not. Seraph had entered a state of calmness and intelligence he had not experienced since being human. He wondered why he had did what he did, why consume multitudes of innocent an not so innocent souls. He wondered slowly east, through the frozen wastelands for two years in deep thought, debating the fate of the rest of his hollow life. Should he punish himself for his crimes, or should he give in to the hollow inside of him? After two years of thought he decided. He decided to punish the hollow within him.

His wanderings had brought him to China's doorstep, the Great Wall. Upon that Great Wall he began to tear his mask off with his painful and sorrowful screams and screeches tormenting any who were spiritual sensitive in the nation the wall protected. He manage to collect his hollow self and sealed it, creating his Zanpakutō. However, unlike most Arrancars, Seraph stored the Zanpakutō within his soul and trained himself to summon it to his hands and dismiss it at will.

Upon transition from hollow to arrancar, Seraph lost all his memory of events before the end of the Napoleonic wars. Having lost his memory he assumed the name of Seraph, a name that Hollows commonly referred to him by. He wandered east into Japan, feeling strong and powerful presences there. At the time he arrived, Japan had finally started to industrialize, and in turn, expand. He took no part of the expansiveness that Japan was consumed with but rather, lived among the citizens day to day as he tried to figure out his purpose and possibly his past memories. By the time World War II came about, Seraph helped save several citizens of Tokyo from U.S. bombings. Near the end of the war, he could only watch in horror from a distance as Hiroshima and Nagasaki were burned to the ground with nuclear weapons. The best he could do was make sure, anonymously of course, that Shinigami found those poor souls and passed them on. Years would pass, and he would go in to dormancy for 60 years. Three years ago he awoke with wonder with the changing world. His discovery of the Espada and Sins have left him cautious. He respects both because of their power, but felt it unnecessary to join them for the time. He went into dormancy once more before he awoke shortly after the defeat of Aizen. He migrated to Hueco Mundo, and, out of sheer curiosity, joined the new formation of the Espada, becoming the 8th.

How quaint, that my family's graves are so far away..... why?' November Frost as he walked the barren path to a nearby city, and away from his home town. They had moved his family's bodies again. Why would they do such a thing? Bah! Foolish question! They moved them because they hadn't the room for his family. The world had always treated his family bitterly, and they only responded in kindness. His family deserved more than what they got, but the world failed to recognize this.

The anger he felt toward the world was unbearable, and caused him to chuckle when he thought about it. He had restrained himself well, no? If not he feared he could damaged the world living humans loved. He laughed again at the thought of himself bringing ruin the world of humans. He probably could if Shinigami and the other races did not exist. If he went into the world with the means to destroy it, their Gotei 13 would descend upon him. Frost was sure he could not take them all. Again, the thought brought a smile to his face as yellow eyes moved downward to his hands, knowing well his weakness and remembering his goal to forget his past life and start anew.

He brought his gauntlet up to his chin, gripping it as he thought about this goal. How does one forget? The memories are fresh on his mind even to this day! Nothing is harder than to wake u alone. He realized that it's not ok, in fact it was the end of all he known. HIs hand slowly moved to his hollow hole where his heart should be. When it it got there his hand jerked back, sill surprised he couldn't feel where his hole was. He assumed the scar was too deep to feel.

The sky was clear, and the stars shined down on him like many glowing eyes. They were watching him. Some mocked him and others urged him. It drove him insane, so he simply leveled his sight to the path in front of him. The city was now in range of his vision, and its lights outshone the stars. Most of the streets were cleared at this late hour, but occasionally one could be seen wandering the streets. Eventually nothing was around and all was silent.

A movement in his peripheral vision caught his eye and Frost moved to counter it. The unexpectedness of the strike knocked him back a foot or two, and was ready to strike back when he saw his assailant. It was a hollow around his height that wore the same armor Frost wore when he was a hollow. It was his oldest brother! The hollow kept attacking, pushing him back with a series of savage blows from its sword. The blows kept coming, and each one blocked.

Frost was shocked, so shocked that he wouldn't fight back. He knew if he did he could possibly kill his weaker brother. In mid-thought, the hollow broke through his his defense, slashing a shallow cut across his chest. In that instant he lashed out in fury, hitting the hollow on the side of the head, knocking his brother unconscious. He was about to finish him with his cero he was charging at the tip of his sword Oblivion. Guilt washed over him and he stopped charging his cero, not wishing to harm his brother any more that he already was. How could he live like this, being chased down by his own siblings? If his brother finds him again he may have to kill him. He could only imagine the pain of killing his own blood and even his imaginings were unbearable.... he had to leave this city immediately.
