Zanpakuto Spirit:
Zanpakuto Name: Kuroi Bara (Black Rose)
Sealed Zanpakuto:
A white katana with rather large guard on it with a black hilt. A white rose is painted on the hilt.
Shikai Description:
Release Phrase: Bloom, Kuroi Bara!
Kuroi Bara gives him the ability to use nature as a defense and offense. Rose petals move in a fast motion under the hilt of his rapier around Alba's hand. They move in the shape of an atom.
Shikai Abilities:
Offense: Whirling Petals- Can whirl petals at enemies as sharp as his sword. The petals under his rapier are what is used and once they are gone the attack cannot be used unless other petals can be found to us.
Defense: Rose Guardian- The sword generates a guardian made of roses to deflect an attack. The roses then charge towards the feet and hands of the opponent. They wrap around him/her and hold them in the air stopping movement in those areas for 15 seconds.The defense takes up a consirderable amount of Spiritual Pressure from Abla, which make cause him to faint or weaken him or leave him vulnerable. So, he rarely uses this, unless it is a desperate time.
Neutral: Falling Petals- White Rose petals float down around Alba for the entire time his Zanpakuto is released.
Bankai Description:
Unleash your true beauty, Yuugure Bara!
A white armor covers Alba that resembles this below.
(the Guardian becomes a solid figure. Alba is then transferred into its body and operates it as its mind, body and spirit.)
The only difference is that the face of the armor can be taken off as it is a mask. Behind him, attached to his left shoulder blade is his Rose Guardian in solid form. It resembles the Guardian in KH with Ansem. When the name is called, white rose petals spin around his body at an alarming rate and his Zanpakuto fuses to his body creating the armor and the guardian becomes whole behind him.
Neutral: Falling Petals- Same as Shikai abilitie.
Defense: Rose Guardian (Final Form)- The guardian can protect Alba from any attack that is not fire based nor a bankai. If a fire based attack or bankai is used against him, the Guardian will take the attack, but be destroyed in the process and will not recover till Bankai is sealed.
Offense: Bara Saw- The Zanpakuto has been fused to the body of Alba on his right hand. Rose petals will now circle around the blade as long as there are petals in the area and creates a sort of saw-like weapon.
Offensive/Defensive: Bara Movement- The petals around the blade can change its movement and shape by Alba's command into a defense or offensive attack. Ex: Alba can use the petals to cover his sword and then transform it into a shield.
History/Background:
Alba was born in the human world. His father had left his mother sometime before, so she was the only one who could take care of Alba. During his childhood in Japan, Alba grew very close to his mother and never left her side. Anytime she needed help or someone to talk to, Alba would always comfort her. Throughout his life many strange happenings occured for him. When he was 11, he was awake every night calling for his mother. Each night she would run to his room to heed his call and every night it was the same. "Mom! There's an old man with cat eyes staring at me over my bed. He has some chain over his chest, Mommy I-" She calmed him down and told him nothing was there as he continued to look over her shoulder seeing the man laughing at him.
A few weeks pass of these, until one night as the man creeps forward continuesly laughing at Alba. The fear in his heart is real and before he can scream, a new figure dashes into the room. The black-robed figure grabs the old man and disappears into the night with him. Alba has no idea what just happened. He runs to his window and looks out...nothing. He looks at his feet and sees a necklace with a small (hollow) mask on it. For weeks he goes around asking if anyone has lost the necklace, no person answers, so he decides to keep it. On Alba's 16th birthday he receives a very interesting gift at his door. He immediately opens it in front of his mother to reveal a kindo stick. He is very grateful for it even though he has no idea who it is from, but somehow, his mother seems to as she stares at the label on on the gift. "Soul Society."
When he graduated from High School Alba decided to move to America for a while to experience something new. His mother is very supportive and it is a hard thing for him to do by leaving her, but he feels it is the right thing to do. Two years go by, Alba and his mother have been in contact oversees via letters and phone. Neither have seen the other in person yet and Alba decides it is time for him to come home. His mother is excited and she books him a flight to his hometown. On his way to his home, Alba grabs a bouquet of flowers for his mother to show her he did miss her. As he opens the door to his house he sees a horrific thing. A white masked human-like creature standing over his mother's lifeless body. The monster roars in laughter as he sees Alba walk in. He taunts Alba as he inches forward transforming himself into a human with part of his old mask still on his face. Alba yells in anger and grabs the kindo stick still in his home and rushes forward not knowing what he is doing. The man laughs and lunges forward transforming back into the creature.
The beast rips and tears through Alba, but he continues to fight the lost battle. Just before the creature can end it by devouring him, a familiar figure rushes in and cuts the beast down. Alba has lost a large sum of blood and before he can see who it was, he dies. He awakens to find himself in the Seireite of the Soul Society. The man who saved his soul from being divoured and saved him from the old man, is his father. A soul reaper in the Gotei 13. Many years ago he traveled to the human world and met Alba's mother, which whom he fell in love with. Just before Alba was born, he was called back to the Soul Society. The beast who killed Alba and devoured his mother's soul was an Arrancar. Alba wasn't able to deal with the grief of his loss and became angry with his father for not coming sooner. As time passed, he forgave his father and was persuaded to join the Soul Academy. He trained for many years and on the day of his graduation, his father was sent to Hueco Muendo to investigate the Arrancars as he was a part of the Research and Development in Soul Society. Days later, word got back that he had been killed by the Hollows and Arrancars in the area. It is his loyal duty to the Soul Society that Alba eliminates the Arrancars to avenge what has been lost.
RP Sample:
Alba kept silent while hiding behind the rubble of what used to be his home. He had just arrived in the human world as the sun blazed on with the humidity beating down. The heat did not bother him though, as Alba was busy glaring at the three men that stood before him, oblivious to his watching eyes. Each man had their own story to tell and Alba figured out the first chapter of each. Each man was an Arrancar, one seemed familiar to him and by the looks of it seemed to be a high ranking one. The second one was a woman, she had may scars on her as it seems her process of turning was painful. She seemed to be emotionless and the heat was not effecting her at all...no sweat, no shortness of breathe, she seemed to be hydrated well.
The third and final Arrancar is who peaked his intrest in the first place. While on his way to the ruins, Alba spotted this black coated Arrancar stirring about. What caught his interest in the first place was the word he kept repeating to himself.
"Olivia Grey"
It was the name of his mother! Alba had to follow him and hopefully question him about it or if it came be end the life of the beast. His suspitions were almost confirmed when the man headed towards and entered the ruins of his home, but were quickly put to rest as he met up with the two other Arrancars. The three didn't seem to be discussing what he wanted to know. They were just out for a..."meal." The three then looked towards the direction he was hiding in. The Woman pointed towards him and the three began to make their way to the bush his was hiding in. Alba clenched his sword and began to speak. "Bloom, Kuroi-" He stopped as the three dashed over him through a hole in the sky. Back to Hueco Muendo he thought.
Alba walked out of his hiding place and into the burnt building. It seems the Arrancar wanted to bury this house...but why? Neverltheless, Alba didn't think of it anymore and though of his mother, but his thoughts were quickly averted as a Hollow appeared before him. The Hollow leaped forward and knocked him back onto the ground. Alba stood up slowly with anger in his eyes. "You cheap bastard! The least you could have done was give me a warning!! Bloom, Kuroi Bara!" He yelled in frustration. Spiritual Pressure shot through the area pushing the Hollow back. Flower petals surrounding where Alba had been standing. The petals disintegrate and standing with a rapier, petals forming in an atom like movement below it, in his right hand. "You probably deserve a death by by Sealed form, but what's the fun in that!" He yells. "Now, Whirling Petals!" The rose petals begin to move up and down his Zanpakuto in a fast motion. Finally they all disappear from the bottom of his sword and he smiles as they continue to move up and down. "Now DIE!" He raises his Rapier and fires the petals at the Hollow with amazing speed, killing it instantly.
The Hollow is gone and he Seals his Zanpakuto. I cannot believe I lost them! I must find them! It's too late now, I must return to the Soul Society before they realize I'm gone.
But, someday I will find them and kill them all, the Arrancars but...will it just be suicide if I do this? All just to avenge those who are lost? Should I take siege and go forward in my quest or take head and prolonge my father's and my mother's vengence?
