The Demon King's Contest 1: Finished!

[Silas Parrish]

--News--
All done. =3  

[Silas Parrish]

--Forward--
As always, we will assume that this is an alternate universe for both continuities. None of the characters we know and love from the Bleach mythos or its cousing the YuYu Hakusho world will exist in this RP. OC's only! Here's the rundown:

-There are five worlds:
The "real world," where humans live normal lives, blissfully unaware of anything beyond their own sight.
Seireitei, which is the realm from which the Shinigami hail. Departed spirits with the strongest spiritual power are sent here to train to fight demons and Hollows.
There is Reikai, where all the good little souls go, when they are not powerful enough to become Shinigami, and do not go to Seireitei.
Makai is where demons dwell. These are otherworldly beings with fantastic power, and often sinister plans for the other worlds. The worst of humanity end up here to be tormented and consumed by the demons.
Hueco Mundo is the fifth world. It is a place of eternal twilight, and is home to evil human spirits who have changed during their time in Makai, to become monsters known as Hollows.

-Power levels go like this: Negligible, High, Great, Immense, Vast, Over 9000.

-All characters are considered equal, aside from boss characters and NPC dummies.

-I'm implementing a basic gaming system for combat, that goes like this:

In cases of PvP combat where we can't agree on who takes the hits and who dodges, and all that jazz...we'll roll for it. In the event of a players-at-odds encounter, we'd roll before we start writing for the combat.
For example...A wild Orcus appears! What will Strider do?

==>Fight --->Run

--->Item --->Magic

(You don't have to do the menu thing. I just thought it's be funny. xd )
So, Strider and Orcus's next posts would be each of them rolling dice via the Post Action thing, down there. You all know how to do that, right?
Let's say Orcus rolls five, and Strider three.

Orcus wins, and gets to do the next combat action, and land a hit. If both roll the same number, then the hit was blocked or avoided. Simple, right? Right! So...combat is over when ten hits have been delivered. After ten total actions are taken, whoever scored the most direct hits wins.

Easy! If Strider wins the roll four times, Orcus wins the roll three times, and they rolled the same number three times, then the winner of this bout is Strider. If we've got an even number of hits, it's considered a draw.

After you roll, you can just make another post with your action, or edit the post with the roll. Whatever is easier.

-The game happens in sequences of combat, during tournaments. Once a character is out, they're out! No more combat until the next tournament.

-For right now, I'd like this to just be for me and Chibi. =3 Once this installment is done, I might open another forum like this one where everyone is welcome. You are free to spectate and commentate, if you like!

--Story--

Things have become unstable in the human world. Natural disasters abound, corruption of the mind and spirit has become the norm. Evil is now commonplace. The highest authorities of the world known as Reikai have discovered a plot hatched by the darkest of the demons banished to Makai.
The Demon King has grown both power-hungry and bored, and is amassing great power and resources to strike down the rulers of Reikai, destroy those that are capable of fighting him in Seireitei, and consume the world of the living in its entirety.
Evil though he may be, the Demon King actively seeks challengers for sport. He now holds a tournament between the most powerful combatants of each world for the chance to take his throne.Youkai and Hollows alike have jumped at this chance, but the Shinigami and their allies have joined this contest of battle, seeking only to put a stop to the Demon King's plans.
The fate of the five worlds will be decided by the winner of the King's Contest.

--Playable Races--

--Shinigami--
--Normal Shinigami
Description: Human souls who possess naturally great spirit power. Upon their death, these humans are given the chance to travel to Seireitei and become great warriors, charged with the duty of purifying Hollows, defeating Youkai, and keeping both out of the world of the living.
Weapon of choice: Zanpakuto; Bakkoto
Common powers: Shikai, the first release; Bankai, the final release; Shunpo, the ability to move at superhuman speeds. Kido, the ability to cast spells taught only to Shinigami. Hohou, the ability to suspend oneself in mid-air using spiritual energy.
Konso, the ability to cleans a Hollow of its sins and return the spirit to normal, or to send normal spirits to Reikai to be sorted out by the authorities there.
World of origin: Seireitei.
Base of operations: Seireitei, the human world. Rarely, Hueco Mundo and Makai.
--Visored
Description: Visored are Shinigami who have obtained the powers of a Hollow through forbidden means. These souls have been banished from Seireitei, and many pose as humans in the world of the living, continuing to fight Hollows and Youkai independently. In times of need, a Visored can summon and wear a Hollow's mask, granting access to many powers normally reserved for Hollows, and providing a great boost in power level until the mask's limited manifestation time has run out. Being in Heuco Mundo extends this limit considerably, at the risk of the user losing control of the mask.
Weapon of choice: Zanpakuto; Bakkoto
Common powers: Shikai; Bankai; Resurrección; Shunpo; Kido; Hohou, Cero, as used by Hollows; Konso, as used by Shinigami
World of origin: Seireitei.
Base of operations: The human world. Rarely, Hueco Mundo and Makai.
--Bount
Description: Artificially created Shinigami. Unlike their cousins, Bounts are still living, and have never been sorted in Reikai. The nature of humans and Shinigami are fundamentally incompatible, so the bodies of Bounts are unstable, requiring a steady supply of spiritual energy to continue functioning. The fact that the Bount feed on humans as well as Hollows and Youkai puts them at odds with the Shinigami.
Weapon of choice: Spielzeug
Common powers: Kern, the first release; Entfesseln, the final release; Mischen, a merger of Bount and Spielzeug; Shunpo; Hohou
World of origin: Human World
Base of operations: The human world, Rarely, Hueco Mundo, Seireitei, and Makai.

--Hollows--
--Normal Hollows
Description: Human spirits who have gone for too long without being found by the Shinigami and sent to Reikai to be sorted. They have become dark and corrupted, and manifest terrifying powers. A hole forms in the chest where a heart once beat. The raw emotions that once resided there become calcified, and take the form of a white mask. Once they become Hollows, these spirits are drawn to Hueco Mundo, where their newly darkened nature is at home. Hollows feed on human souls.
Weapon of choice: Varies
Common powers: Acidic touch, invisibility to humans, summoning other Hollows, traveling easily between worlds, creating new Hollows.
World of origin: Human World
Base of operations: Human world, Heuco Mundo. Rarely, Makai.

Description: Hollows who have eluded defeat or capture long enough to amass great power by consumption of souls. Eventually, humans can no longer satisfy, so these Hollows turn to feeding on Shinigami, Youkai, and sometimes even other Hollows. Menos are often very large and frightening. The most powerful of them appear to be nearly human.
Weapon of choice: Varies
Common powers: Acidic touch, invisibility to humans, summoning other Hollows, traveling easily between worlds, creating new Hollows, suppression of weaker spiritual powers; Cero, the ability to fire blasts or beams of condensed spirit energy. Rarely, Sonido.

Weapon of choice: Varies
Common powers: Varies
World of origin: Human world
Base of operations: Human world. Rarely, Makai, Heuco Mundo, Reikai.
--Fullbringer
Description: These are humans with great spiritual power who have survived encounters with a Hollow, and stolen some measure of its power, without becoming Hollows themselves.

Description: Humans or Hollows who were banished to Makai for misdeeds in life. Through their torment they have become strong, absorbing a measure of demonic power during their time in Makai. The most powerful of them have the ability to retake abilities enjoyed in life, and wield them with fierce strength, rivaling even Youkai in power level. Togabito are unable to leave Makai permanently. The chains of hell drag them back, if they stay out too long. In Makai, Togabito are virtually immortal. Even if their bodies are destroyed, then the fires of Hell reforge them in time. They seek only to leave Makai forever, whatever the cost.
Weapon of choice: Varies

World of origin: Makai
Base of operations: Makai. Rarely, Human world and Heuco Mundo.

--Weapons and Equipment--

Zanpakuto:
--Used by Shinigami, Visored, Arrancar, rarely Togabito and Fullbringers.
A sword forged from fragments of the owner's very soul. It takes the form of a simple melee weapon when sealed, but when released it takes a new form which mirrors the spirit of the user, and manifests a specific set of powers.
When used by Shinigami, the first release brings out a new form; usually it is a simple, stylized weapon. This is called Shikai. When a Shinigami fully released his power, the sword changed again, taking a much more fantastic shape. This is called Bankai. Bankai cannot be maintained indefinitely.
When used by an Arrancar, the sword is considered to be in permanent Shikai state. Final release for an Arrancar is called Resurrección, and allows the user to assume a Hollow form much like its original, with vastly augmented powers.
Some Visored can also perform Resurrección.

Bakkoto:
--Used by Shinigami and rarely Visored.
These swords are artificial zanpakuto forged for use as auxiliary weapons. They appear visually similar to their cousins, and grant similar powers. Bakkoto do not have releases, but each one is considered to be as powerful as a zanpakuto's Shikai. Unlike zanpakuto, bakkoto can be used by anyone. The drawback to using a bakkoto is that it imposes dire demands upon the wielder, eventually killing him or her.

Quincy Cross
--Used by Quincy, and rarely Arrancar or Fullbringers.
A pendant in the form of a silver cross. It allows the user to summon and use a Ginrei Kojaku. If the cross is broken, the bow and arrows dissolve.

Quincy Bangle
--Used by any
Allows a non-Quincy to use a Kojaku bow and a few other Quincy weapons, though at reduced potency. Allows Quincies to recover if their powers have been lost due to use of the Sanrei Glove.

Sanrei Glove
--Used by Quincy
A training implement that scatters spiritual power, forcing the user to learn to draw and manipulate energy despite this. When removed, the user experiences a huge boost in power before losing their Quincy abilities permanently.

Seele Schneider
--Used by any
Designed by Quincies to enable close-range combat against Shinigami and Hollows. Consists of a metal cylinder that stores power to be released in a blade of pure energy.

Fullbring
--Used by Fullbringers
A physical object which holds great personal value to the owner. In times of stress it takes the form of a weapon, and embodies the heart and soul of the wielder, granting great power when manifested.

Spielzeug
--Used by Bount
Equivalent to a zanpakuto. In its sealed form, it is an innocuous household object. When released, the user summons a manifested spirit to fight alongside him or her. The wielder can also condense the power of this spirit into a weapon for close combat when the Spielzeug is injured, and cannot fight. Bount can also merge with their Spielzeug.

Hollow Mask
--Worn by Hollows, Menos, Arrancar, and Visored.
The embodiment of a being's emotions made solid. Permanently worn by Hollows. When destroyed, the Hollow will die. Visored can summon and banish their masks at will to borrow the power within.
Arrancar wear only a portion of their masks, having torn the rest off.

Tsūshin
--Used by humans
Allows humans with weak spiritual power to see Youkai and Hollows. Can also be used to home in on objects of spiritual power.

Spirit Ring
--Used by humans
Amplifies and controls spiritual power, enabling a human to concentrate better and use his or her powers with greater effectiveness.

Black Mask
--Used by Youkai
Worn to suppress spiritual energy, both to make fights last longer, and to hide the wearer's presence from spirit-sensitives.

Hiruseki
--Used by humans
A stone made of condensed spiritual power and ice. Heals the holder at an accelerated rate.

Team Yakei (夜警)
1.
-Name: Daisuke Hideyaki
-Race: Shinigami
-Spiritual Power Level: Great
-Weapon of Choice: Zanpakuto--Yamato; A white bound katana, with a slightly above-average blade length. Kept in its sheath at the hip at all times.
-Primary Power: When Shikai is used, Yamato looks identical to its original appearance, except the steel has been replaced with blue reishi, and the tsuba has become a shroud. Its special ability is to extend greatly and become flexible, much like a bullwhip. Daisuke can also use Bankai. When fully released, Yamato's blade vanishes, and is replaced by lightweight gauntlets and grieves that pulsate with spiritual pressure from many sources. Once this Bankai is activated, all spiritually-powered combatants within Daisuke's range of sensing are stripped of their spiritual power. Yamato condenses and redistributes it evenly, so that all participants in a battle are forced to fight on even terms. However, this Bankai restricts Daisuke to use of hand-to-hand combat, and leaves him quite drained when Yamato is resealed. Released by the command, "Vivisect."
-Secondary Abilities: All abilities normally associated with Shinigami.
-Description: A tall, lean and muscular figure, with a shock of wild white hair, and piercing blue eyes. Wears white haori with no insignia over a ceremonial tunic.

When he becomes upset, Ichiro subconsciously activates the other figurine, which becomes a partial chestplate and shoulder armor in the style of old samurai. The armor is black, and draws in light. It enables Ichiro to seek out and make reality of his enemies' fears. Observers only see constructs of living shadow.
-Secondary Abilities: Normal powers associated with Fullbringers. Ichiro can also extinguish lights.
-Description: A Japanese salaryman with great enthusiasm for history. Believes himself to be a descendant of Nobunaga Oda. His passion was once shared between him and his grandfather, a glass-blower.

-Name: Shizuka Ishiyama
-Race: Visored

-Weapon of Choice: Zanpakuto--Tsukiko; In its sealed form, this weapon is a katana with white wrappings, and ebony decorations. Bakkoto--Kuroihoshi; a wakizashi with black wrappings and silver decorations. The bakkoto has a symbiotic relationship with the zanpakuto, mirroring its release stages and feeding from it.
-Primary Power: Shizuka's Shikai causes both weapons to take the form of two mirrored tsurugi. The light given off by Tsukiko burns what it touches, and the shadows cast by Kuroihoshi draws in and traps enemies.

The bakkoto's shadows instantly make liquid of whatever solid object the touch, to solidify again when the shadow moves.

Quincy claim that it is a weapon synthesized by the first of their own kind. Humans believe it to be the last weapon forged by Masamune, and the only thing capable of slaying the demon king. It causes him constant biting pain, but he cannot remove it. No Youkai can touch it.

What'll we do if we meet on the battlefield? said the voice from Daisuke's recent past. He had given her an answer, though he was not entirely sure he believed his own words. He hoped it would not come to that.
This young Shinigami was far from the strongest or the fastest of his kind, but his skills and wits were unparalleled. It was for this reason he was selected to travel to the hellish underworld known as Makai. He heard boos, jeers, cheering, and adoring screams blend strangely from somewhere above him as he marched out onto the cold tile of the arena.
Daisuke gave one last weary sigh, and placed a hand on the pommel of his zanpakuto as his opponent marched toward him from the other side.

"This shouldn't take long," Jek scoffed as he entered the arena, his tsukubou resting heavily on his shoulder. Once he had taken his position, he slammed the weapon onto the ground, cracking the stone around his feet. Once I beat this guy, I'll be one step closer to challenging the Demon King myself. he studied the man standing across the arena from him as he popped his knuckles menacingly. He doesn't look like much. I should make this quick.
With a barely perceivable motion, he retrieved his tsukubou, flourishing it with what appeared to be no difficulty, and held the weapon high, preparing for the signal to begin battle.

"Weapons drawn?" boomed the voice of the referee, a massive troll of a Youkai.
Daisuke's opponent already had his in hand. Daisuke drew his out, and took a kenjutsu-inspired defensive stance.
"Vivisect, Yamato!" he commanded. The metal of his blade flaked and drifted away, and people in the immediate vicinity felt his spiritual pressure rise. A blue blade of pure spiritual energy came to life, humming faintly and burning up any particles that drifted into its glowing core. "I'm ready." The referee grinned evilly.
"Very well, then. Contestants ready? Fight!" He chopped downward, blew a whistle carved of bone, and stepped quickly to the side.

Jek looked at his opponents weapon in amusement. "There's more to this kid than I thought," he muttered to himself as he began to circle Daisuke. "I should be careful. He may have some tricks up his sleeves."
Jek cautiously approached Daisuke, examining him with a fierce gaze. Finally he charged, closing the distance between them in a fraction of a second. He swung his tsukubou in a powerful diagonal arc, aiming to catch Daisuke's right shoulder.
