Name: Ravana
Gender: Male
Squad and seat: Captain of Squad 8
Personality: Despite having a serious appearance, Ravana is usually a nice guy. Because of his position as captain, he is serious when it comes to work, and holds his subordinates to a high standard. When he's not busy being a captain, Ravana usually acts more laid back, and can even be found relaxing whit his subordinates. When on a mission, Ravana usually keeps somewhat quiet, only saying what needs to be said until the mission is over, unless it is a longer mission. Ravana can also been seen as somewhat compassionate, although he tends to practice tough love, often allowing others to learn the hard way. He will, however, be there for them with support and advice.
During battle, Ravana is usually very serious, focusing mainly on the battle. Since he is a captain, he is much more aware of what is on the battle field, and prefers to fight away from anywhere that is too crowded or has too many trees and such. He is also very concerned about his comrades that may be fighting alongside him, and when fighting with them, he is usually noticeably less reactive to attacks directed at his own person. He does, however, tend to try and play this down, trying to hide his concern for his subordinates so that they can learn to fight for themselves and become stronger.
When it comes to the ladies, Ravana is usually unsuccessful when it comes to love, but usually makes friends with them easily. Though he may be a bit internally shy around girls, he does not usually show this in his attitude. When not working, Ravana prefers to sit and watch nature, or train. He also enjoys Sake and other alcoholic beverages when relaxing. His favorite food is dumplings, prepared almost any way. He enjoys training, reading, relaxing with his subordinates, and solving puzzles. He dislikes the arrogant people, leaving others behind, and spiders. His only true fear is not being strong enough to lead and protect his squad.
Appearance:
Zanpaktou Spirit:
Name: "Dominus Pascit Me" (lit. The Lord is my Shepherd; Old/Original Latin)
Gender: Female
Personality:
Dominus is a very gentle spirit, and takes the celestial form of an Angel. Because of this, she is slow to anger and quick in forgiveness. She speaks with a heavenly voice, able to soothe even the blackest of hearts with her voice. She treats everyone with respect, even if they do not return it. However, despite all of this, if you ensue her wrath, you will regret it. She is one of the great guardian Angels, and is very powerful, despite her meek appearance. She can also physically manifest herself into the real world, but does this rarely. All in all, she is a gentle protector.
Zanpaktou:
Unreleased form: (As seen in Ravana's appearance)
"Dominus Pascit Me" takes the form of a slender katana with a cross pendant attached to the hilt. It's sheath is pure white, and the blade is made of a silver metal. When in the sun, the blade will shine brightly, as if it is blessed with the power of God. It is a bit longer than a usual Zanpaktou, and Ravana wears the sheath across his back.
Release Phrase: "With the Lord as my shepherd and this blade as my shield, I shall strike down evil in the name of justice, Dominus Pascit Me!"
Shikai:
In it's Shikai, "Dominus Pascit Me" takes the form of a long, two-handed sword with a cross as the hilt-guard. The blade can also be surrounded with a blue ethereal flame.
Affinity: Holy
Special Abilities:
Enhanced Strength
Ravana receives a boost of strength in his Shikai, just like any other shinigami.
Enhanced Speed
Ravana receives a boost of speed in his Shikai, just like any other shinigami.
Sanctus Flamma (lit; Holy or Sacred/Saint Flame; Latin)
With this ability, Ravana can summon a light blue ethereal flames that can envelop his sword or to blaze up out of the ground. The flames are special in that they are not of the fire element, but of a holy affinity, allowing them to hurt even fire wielders with their flames. The flames are quite strong, and can completely scorch a weaker hollow. However, the stronger the opponent, the more they will be able to resist it's flames. No matter how strong they are, they will still be damaged. Ravana can use these flames for both offense and defense. For defense, he can call up a wall of the blue flames to protect himself or someone else from an incoming attack, like a cero.
Lux Lucis (lit; The Light; Latin)
With this ability, Ravana can condense the energy of light into it's purest form and use it as an attack. Because of this the beam of light is very narrow, but it is powerful enough to scorch anything in its path. The beam can only be held for about 5 to 10 seconds in his shikai, but in that limited amount of time, Ravana can move his sword, which is firing the beam, to have the beam move and follow his opponent.
Dominatio Crux Crucis (lit; The Lord's Cross; Latin)
This is Ravana's most powerful technique, and can be extremely devastating to his opponents. However, it is not at full power until Ravana is in his Bankai. In his Shikai, Ravana uses a slightly weaker version of this attack. To use this technique, Ravana must first recite the name of his Zanpaktou, and then the name of the technique. After doing so, a large, wooden cross covered in blue ethereal flames appears out of nowhere behind his opponent, and chains shoot out from the ends of it, tying his opponent to the cross. Then, three nails made out of reatisu appear and stab through both of their wrists and through their ankles. Ravana then charges all of the ethereal flames he can into a condensed blast in his sword and looses it at his opponent, scorching them in the holy flames. This technique can be very painful to his opponent, and if it does not kill them, they will be severely injured. This technique also takes a lot from Ravana, and he usually has to go into his Bankai if he wishes to fight on after using this technique.
Bankai: Name: "Dominus pascit me, et nihil mihi deerit" (lit; The Lord is my Shepherd, of whom shall I be Afraid?; Old/Original Latin)
Appearance:
Affinity: holy
Special Abilities:
Enhanced Strength
Ravana receives a boost of strength in his Bankai, just like any other shinigami. It is much greater than the boost he receives in his Shikai.
Enhanced Speed
Ravana receives a boost of speed in his Bankai, just like any other shinigami. It is much greater than the boost he receives in his Shikai.
Enhanced Sanctus Flamma
In his Bankai, Ravana can use his Scantus Flamma with much more efficiency and control, able to control the paths the flames take over longer distances, and with greater power. He can also summon many more of the flames, all at a stronger power than his shikai.
Vox Vocis of Deus (lit; The Voice of God; Latin)
With this technique, Ravana holds up his sword, and says the name of this technique. Upon doing this, a loud sound emanates from the sword that is so powerful, even the strongest of foe's must cover their ears. Ravana states that "Us mortal beings cannot comprehend the voice of God, thus forth, it drives men mad." This explains why the attack is simply just a loud voice. If used against an Angel, it will still affect them, but they will be a ble to comprehend what the voice is saying.
Dominatio Dextera (lit, The Right Hand of the Lord; Latin)
To use this Technique, Ravana holds his sword up high, pointing towards the heavens, and shouts out the technique's name. Upon doing so, the sky seemingly split's apart as the power of a hundred angel's comes forth. Ravana uses this power to create one mighty blow that comes crashing down upon his opponent with mighty force. Although it can be dodged, it will usually send debris flying from where it hit, using thoes as projectiles to hit his opponent if the dodged.
Enhanced Lux Lucis
In his Bankai, The "Lux Lucis" ability becomes much more powerful, and has a longer duration. The beam fired is also a bit wider, but not much.
Enhanced Dominatio Crux Crucis
As in his Shikai, Ravana must do the appropriate preperations to use the attack. However, in his Bankai, there is a tremendous difference in the power level of the attack. Because of it's damaging effect and drain on Ravana, he usually only uses it as a finishing attack.
Bankai Final Form: Seraphim
Ravana's Bankai has a final form that can be used when he is pushed to the very limits of his being. In it, he takes the form of a true Seraphim, and it seems as if he almost transcends the powers of a shinigami. This power seems to be closely linked to that of an Angel's final form, but because it is an ability of his Zanpaktou, the true nature of this link is unknown. The form will increase Ravana's powers tremendously, but afterwords, if he wins, he will be left in a serious condition and must be brought to medical attention immediately.
History: Ravana was born in one of the middle districts of Rukongai. As he grew up, he trained hard so that he could one day become a shinigami. His dream was to become a powerful shinigami, and even become a captain, ever since he could remember, although if asked, he really didn't know why. He always idolized the shinigami, as they were strong warriors. When he was not training, Ravana would hang out with some of the other residents of Rukongai that were his own age. Because of his kind personality he made many friends, although some people were scared away from him because of his somewhat sinister look.
After years of training, Ravana finaly entered the Shinigami Academy, passing the entrance exam with very good marks. It was here that Ravana developed his more serious side, focusing a lot on his training and studies. He was still a nice person, but he was a bit more quiet because he was so focused. Not long after being admitted, he was already on his graduation mission. (Yes, it did take him a few years, but it seemed fast) During his mission he scored very high marks, and graduate as one of the top students of his class.
The first time Ravana met his zanpaktou's spirit, he truely began to understand it and his own abilities. It was a bit odd at first, as it's assassin-like style of fighting seemed to conflict a bit with his personality, but with the help of Aka Kizu, he quickly learned how to control his powers. Because his personality mixed a bit with that of his zanpaktou, Ravana began to become a bit more serious, although he still remained a nice person.
Sample RP: "Let's see, some curry powder, coconut milk, a bit of chicken, and my secret spices, and we're done." Ravana said to himself as he put the ingreadients into the pot. As usual, Ravana was cooking up his lunch, something he tried to do whenever he had the time. "And perfect" he said, taking the curry off of the fire and pouring it into a bowl of rice. However, just before he took a bite, one of the members of his squad entered "Yo, Ravana, hurry up and get out to Rukongai, there's a hollow out there and you've been assigned to defeat it." Sighing, Ravana left his lunch and quickly made his way to the forests of Rukongai. As soon as he arrived, he was ambushed by a spider-like hollow. Quickly assesing the situation, Ravana drew his sword and took on the hollow. The hollow quickly attacked Ravana with one of it's bladed legs, only to have it cut off by Ravana's zanpaktou. "Never disturb my lunch" he said to the hollow, before quickly cutting it's mask in half and effectivly killing it.
