The Demon's Contest: Year 2 (Open/ Full)

[Silas Parrish]

--News--
Currently being constructed! =D  

[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.
-The game happens in sequences of combat, during tournaments. Once a character is out, they're out! No more combat until the next tournament.
-Everyone's welcome, now that we've figured out that this works! =D

--Story--

With the Demon King apparently slain, it was expected that all would quiet down in Makai, and the demons would cease their attempts to enter the world of the living. However, now that they have discovered that there is nothing stopping them from solving their problems with tournaments, a new band of demons is vying for the chance to leave their world permanently. Still bound by the rules set forth by Reikai and Seireitei, these demons have no choice but to allow humans and Shinigami back into their world for the chance to stop them. The authorities charged with protecting the humans have assembled a team of new faces and returning champions alike. On the other hand, the demons have done the same.

--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.

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.

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.

--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.

-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. When Shizuka activates her Bankai, the light blinds any who look upon her zanpakuto, and cuts whatever she directs it against. The bakkoto's shadows instantly make liquid of whatever solid object the touch, to solidify again when the shadow moves.
-Secondary Abilities: Shunpo, hohou, limited use of Kido.

She can also use her speed to alter air currents to cut enemies. All other abilities normally associated with Arrancar.

Yasu sniffed at the sour air, detecting the faint, fire-tinged odor of something rotten all around. Even after traveling to Makai so many times, she still was not used to it. She cast a baleful eye toward her new team's leader. In truth she held no ill will toward denizens of Seireitei, but never expected, as an agent of Reikai, that she would ever serve as subordinate to a Shinigami--much less one wearing the mask of a Hollow. She ignored the encouraging smile of her leader and stepped into the arena, still broken down and stained with the Demon King's blood. She looked her first opponent over.
Okay, you can do this. No different than running down Youkai back home. Let's get to it!

Kota stepped quickly into the arena, a feeling of nostalgia washing over him. It had been a year since he last stood in this place, and it had changed his life completely. He looked over at Ana on the sidelines. Since the last tournament, they had traveled together and she had helped him become stronger. Strong enough to win the tournament this time...
He pulled out his nunchaku and twirled them casually as he waited for his chance to attack.  

[Silas Parrish]

Yasu sniffed once more.
"You're first, eh? You almost smell like a Youkai, but not quite. You seem a decent enough fellow, but I'm afraid I won't go easy on you." She charged a quick shot in her rei-gun, and let it fly, testing the waters.  

[Chibi Kitsune Warrior]

Kota teleported, dodging the blast, and reappeared in front of Yasu. With a quick flourish, he readied his nunchaku and swung at Yasu.

The spirit detective took the blow across the shoulder, and maintained her momentum with a quick spinning kick.
