Your Legacy:
Character Story: Stefano Hildebrandt was born on December Twenty-First, upon the Winter Solstace. His family could be described as war mongrels. Every child born is entrusted with a weapon. They train with this weapon, making it their only ally. The weapons range from throwing knives to swords, and go as far as firearms. Stefano was given a set of marrionette wires. The wires were thin, yet unbreakable and razor sharp. The mechanism holding them attached to his wrist in a bracelet sort of wear. The Hildebrandt family were made of hunters. They happened to hunt lycanthropes. The family history was a strange one, and happened to be darker than most knew.
Stefano spent many hours training with the silver wires given to him to work with. Of course, he had no experience in the slaughter of a lycanthrope. His training, however, did not interfere with his daily routine. The training was vigorous, as he was forced to spar more experienced hunters. He was still a child, but his knowledge was remarkable. He was able to use the wires in more ways than he thought. By age ten, he was allowed to follow the other hunters to take down lycans. The ones he had battled were weaker, making it easy for him.
His battles were usually swift, due to the fact the silver wires were effective against the beasts. Stefano was focused moreso on tactics than winning. If his strategy was off, he would only use his battle to buy time. If his strategy was effective, he would end the battle quickly. Stefano Hildebrandt eventually became one of the feared hunters. The marrionette wires were used to pierce, slice, squeeze, and entangle victims.
One battle, however, took him to the edge. He was overpowered, and eventually bitten by a lycan. He was saved before the lycan could kill him. Being saved and not killed caused a case of lycanthropy to infect his bloodstream. Instead of acting as a hunter, the Hildebrandts forced him to become a way of searching. It humiliated him. Silver was actually ineffective against him. He had grown accustomed to it, so he did not have that as a weakness. The humiliation he suffered morphed into anger. Anger became rage, then rage became deadly. He brought himself to attack his own blood.
Stefano had escaped, killing over half of the family within his uprising. There was someone who had his eyes set on capturing Stefano. They would use him as the war mongrel he was born to be. He was captured and forced to fight. The fight became a battle, then the battle became war. The war was known well in history as World War Two. Stefano was upon the Axis powers, under the command of Adolf Hitler in the Third Reich.
He was not, however, approving of the views. Stefano would sooner fight to stay alive than fight for their beliefs. Due to constant propaganda, he was brought to honor Germany and its ideals. He was stationed in the Wehrmact as a lieutenant.
It came to a day of battle. They were under fire, and their men kept dropping like flies. The shots rang out in rapid fire, taking down whatever got in their way. The easiest way to put the battle was devastating. Stefano took a shot to his arm, one to his leg, and another to his throat. The shot to his throat was rather fatal, and brought suffering. The most humane thing that could be done was to kill him, so that is exactly what happened. October Thirty-First was the night of Stefano's death, and the night of Demetrio Xanthenacht's birth.
The very same night, two others had passed on. Kain and Judas were their names. Upon the way to the soul society, Stefano, Judas, and Kain combined to make the new soul of Demetrio Xanthenacht. Demetrio was born to a family of nobles in the Sereitei District. Life there was far easier than Rukongai. As a noble with spiritual capabilities, he was sent to the Shino Academy. His entrance exam score allowed him to participate within the advanced classes.
Days went by, and Demetrio began to exhibit strange behavior. The dreams he experienced were seeing Kain and Judas in their spirit forms. The strange behavior was the other two trying to escape, but it was impossible.
Academy days were simple enough. Kido Control, Zanjutsu Understanding, Hakuda Training, and the other typical academy classes. He understood everything for the most part. However, his skills were undetermined. No one could classify him in a certain squad. He craved fighting like the Eleventh Division, but was stealthy like the Second Division. He still had five years, so it was no worry upon deciding.
The exam to pass onto his second year was a written one for his year. The questions, if one studied, were simple. Mostly covering what a zanpakuto is, the job of a shinigami, and so on. Demetrio passed the exam, but he made a rival that same day. The rival's name was a female by the name of Riza Nazrin. The two held a burning hatred for eachother. The hatred went as far as sabotage, even.
The second year went smoothly, more work, but still simple. Riza and Demetrio's hatred was like a burning flame. The two would argue restlessly to get their points across. Some students just didn't care, then others tried to ignore the two. The exam in the world of the living came around the third year for the students, and irony hit when Riza and Demetrio were paired as partners to take down the simulation hollow threats.
The group of students went to the world of the living, all the preparations made according to their needs. Some brought just their practice katanas, then some went as far as to bring medicine. Better to make it a habit to prepare medicine than not to. A third person, a male, was assigned to the dysfunctional group. His name was Izaya Kagamine. He was an odd fellow, moreso antisocial than anything, but a kind boy. The three were agreeing on one thing--Strategy came first. As others simply attacked, Demetrio, Riza, and Izaya were planning on how to remove the hollows.
Their plan became an effective one. Demetrio went to the west, Izaya to the east, and Riza to the North. The other students were busy roaming the south for hollows. The three wore headsets to contact each other in case of emergency. The fighting of hollows was simple, due to the fact they were just simulations. Due to all the activity, actual hollows were able to slip through. Demetrio was the first to encounter one of them. He thought it was another simulation, so he fought it in a careless manner. The carelessness caused him to be injured. It was not so much painful as it was troublesome. He raised his pratice katana towards the beast. It had a white mask of a crow, but the muscular body of a maroon beast. Sharp claws grew from its fingertips. He hissed quietly, moving forward to make an attempt with an attack. The creature laughed, pushing Demetrio back. He dropped the practice katana in the process. The hollow laughed, stepping on the katana, snapping it in half. Demetrio was nowhere near the point of giving up. He stood up, raising his hand towards the beast.
"Bakudo Number One, Sai." The command came. He folded his fingers so only the index and middle fingers remained raised. The Kido was the first he had learned. It was a binding spell from the first year. "Kagamine, Nazrin. Point C, if you'd be so kind."
A minute after contacting his team, they arrived, their practice swords raised. Their eyes were in shock. "W-what is that?!" Izaya backed away to get a full glimpse of the creature. Two senior class members contacted them through their headsets. "Team Four! Your current point has a breech! Get to safety, now!"
The three were in shock. They were facing real hollows, and with practice swords. Riza tossed her sword aside as she noticed a smaller hollow that looked like a frog sort of creature. It launched at her, but she stepped out of the way. The mutter of an incantation came as she eyed the creature. From her hand shot a thin streak of lightning. "Byakurai!" The lightning cracked open the hollow's mask, causing it to fade away.
Izaya dropped his sword in the process. Raising his leg, he slammed his heel into another hollow's mask, cracking it. He would rely on Hakuda to take out the hollows. Demetrio winced somewhat as he kept focus on holding the other hollow in place with Sai. He released the binding by accident, but Izaya took out the hollow with ease. Riza came to Demetrio's side to fix the wound he received during the battle. The three gave a sigh of relief. As they went to return to the meeting point, a howl was heard behind them, followed by an attack. The hollow was given the code name Incognito. Its ability was disguising itself. They could not see it, nor did they sense it. The attack was a cero. It caused Izaya to fly forward, slamming into a building.
Demetrio stood on guard as Riza rushed to Izaya's side. He watched the hollow for any sign of movements. The hollow made a quick swipe towards Demetrio's side, but it missed. He grinned carefully, something in this tone changing. "I'm sorry. We can't let you harm this boy." The hollow howled, moving to attack again. This time, Demetrio grabbed ahold of its wrist. "Yeah. I've kinda grown a liking to this kid. No offense, but we're not gonna let you kill him." The hollow gave another howl as Demetrio raised a set of wires. He kept them just in case. He sent the wires flying horizontally. They cut through the hollow's mouth, cutting in the form in which the hollow received a glasgow smile. Blood dripped down the razor thin wires. Demetrio ripped the wires back, causing the hollow to fall forward. He moved to give another attack, but he was knocked out of the air by the hollow trying to get up. The pressure exerted caused Demetrio's bones to shatter. He was motionless. The pain caused him to blackout.
Riza watched, allowing Izaya to rest after fixing him up. She stood on her feet. "I can't let you kill him. I need someone to give me a challenge." She picked up the practice sword she had, ready to attack the hollow. She grinned as the sword was actually able to cut through its flesh. The hollow raised its other arm, stabbing its claws straight through Riza's torso. She coughed, but wasn't ready to give in. Raising the practice sword, she stabbed into the hollow's arm, causing it to release her. She fell to the ground, then used the sword to help her stand. Vision clouded with blood, all she saw were two figures standing in front of her. They raised weapons that looked nothing like dormant zanpakuto. She coughed once more, collapsing.
The three students awoke in the fourth division barracks. Riza was the first, then Izaya, then Demetrio. A squad member looked at the three and smiled. "Good to see you're awake and moving. I have to give you students credit. You were able to stand up against those hollows for quite some time. At least you're alive, that much calls for a celebration, ahaha."
Two other shinigami stepped in the room, one male and one female. The male smiled at Riza. "Y'know, you had a lot of willpower to cause one of those practice katanas to cut through that thing. You did as much as you could to save your partners here. You could make a great captain someday."
Riza turned her head, mumbling something. "Thank you, sir." "Kyoshiro. Member of the Thirteenth Division." The male corrected her. He didn't like formalities much. Riza nodded. "Well, thank you both for coming to our rescue."
The female nodded. "Anytime. My name is Kallen." She looked at Demetrio and Izaya, as well. "You all fought exceptionally well. Though, I'm curious. You, silver haired kid." Demetrio looked up. He cleared his throat. "Demetrio Xanthenacht." Kallen nodded. "I see. Anyway, you were talking to the hollow. Curiosity caught me. What did you mean by 'We can't let you harm this boy', and 'We're not gonna let you kill him'?"
Demetrio was in shock. "I never said that." He couldn't help but stare.
Kallen raised an eyebrow. "Yes, you did. Also, your tone changed when you spoke those. The one was lighter, than the other was darker."
Demetrio remained silent. He knew who had said it at the mention of his tone changing. He exhibited such behavior before. "It wasn't me. It was someone else. Kain and Judas, to be exact."
Kyoshiro chuckled. "You're a crazy kid, you know that? Just who are Kain and Judas?"
Demetrio paused. "Well, before I arrived here, soul injection was performed, you could say." Kallen understood, but Kyoshiro, as well as Riza and Izaya did not.
"Soul Injection? I've studied it, but I didn't know it was possible. By chance, were you ever trapped in the Dangai Precipice?"
"Can't say I know for certain. I just found myself trapped in some sort of morbid wonderland." Demetrio thought for a moment. "Though, I remember seeing another soul there. She was the one who did it."
Kyoshiro cleared his throat. "None of this makes sense. Just what is Soul Injection?"
Kallen closed her eyes. "Soul Injection is the trapping of other souls and giving them a host soul that is reborn in the Soul Society. Only a few have been discovered in Rukongai and Sereitei. They are rare, but they are not dangerous. The persona just alters, depending on the soul's attitude. For example, the lighter toned one that mentioned about not letting him die would have been a caring individual in his past life. The darker toned one that mentioned he took a liking to Demetrio and not letting him die could have possibly been a violent individual."
Izaya looked at Demetrio in a surprised manner. "I knew there was something about you, but this is... Well, surprising." He chuckled, rubbing the back of his head.
Riza laughed somewhat. "Well, there's three of you in one? This will make for an interesting rivalry, Xanthenacht."
After full recovery, the three returned to the academy. The students were surprised to hear they all lived from the fight. The fourth year came easy, as well as the fifth. The sixth year became challenging, but Demetrio was able to handle it. The graduation exam came. It was a written exam, followed by showing control of kido, discovering one's zanpakuto, then free reign on a timed exam to take out as many hollows as possible.
The written exam consisted of questions learned throughout the six years. What a zanpakuto was, the shinigami's job, the thirteen squads, followed by side branches such as Research and Development, Kido Corps, Onmitsukido, and so on. The final question was how to achieve shikai. The questions, for most, were moderate.
The controlling of kido was a simple test of showing if students knew how to use certain kido appropriately, their incantations, and control. Some were able to perform profoundly, then others were simply terrible.
The third test was going into one's own psyche and finding their zanpakuto. This would have been the most simple one. The zanpakuto, of course, was not the shikai release, but finding a part of themselves. Exactly what the dormant state would be such as type, length, and so on. Length proved how much reiatsu one held. Each student was successful in this.
The fourth and final test was a timed test in which students would kill hollows throughout the world of the living. Five students were placed in different countries. Fourty students all together took this test, due to the fact only a few were sent to go on. Demetrio, Izaya, and Riza were sent to Italy, followed by two other students. Julchen and Luka were sent with them. The five split up and went hollow hunting. Demetrio was in luck. Where he went, he found a good number of hollows. He fought each of them with ease, killing ten all together. Izaya found five, killing them. Riza found seven, killing them with ease. Julchen killed nine. Luka, however, was nowhere to be found. He went to Demetrio's sector, breaking a piece of hollow bait to form hollows about. Demetrio found the hollows, killing them, but they just kept coming. More and more were being killed. The hollows began to spread about, finding Izaya, Julchen, and Riza. They began to fight them, and Luka began to fight them as well. The time was up, but the hollows still kept coming. One attacked Riza, killing her, and one killed Izaya. Shinigami were sent to destroy the rest, and the students were brought back to hear the results.
"Norway Team, Chikage is the victor with fourty hollows. America Team, Rolan is the victor with thirty-two. France Team, Victoria is the victor with fifty-one. Italy team, Demetrio is the victor with... Two Hundred Fourty-Seven? That is impossible!"
One of the representatives came forward, whispering something into the announcer's ear. The announcer glared at the Italy Team. "This is hard to say, but each of you are disqualified. Someone has found traces of hollow bait in your area. Demetrio Xanthenacht, Julchen Beilschmidt, and Luka Liberati, you are all disqualified from becoming Shiniga-"
"Not so fast!" Kyoshiro's voice rang out. He stood up, along with Kallen. The two pointed at Luka, each of them glaring darkly and speaking in unison. "He's the one."
The announcer spoke loudly. "Just what is this nonsense?!"
Kyoshiro was quick to answer. "He brought hollow bait, knowing it was illegal to be within testing. We were watching the whole time. He did it to sabotage the others in hopes he would be the one to graduate."
Luka glared at Kyoshiro in a manner that told the shinigami to keep quiet. "N-Nonsense! I did no such thing!"
"Will you be willing to allow us to do a search to find any excess powder on your hands?"
Luka remained silent. The crowd stared at him. He finally sighed. "I can't lie, it seems. I did it, and the motive you came up with was correct."
"Very well. Luka Liberati, you have failed the exam, the academy, and yourself. You will never become a shinigami again!" Two shinigami grabbed him, dragging him out. After that, Demetrio had graduated.
RP Sample: A faint smile of amusement came to his lips when his acquaintance agreed to drop formalities. He simply nodded upon her request to drop formalities towards herself. "Fair enough." He seemed to bite the small mint he placed in his mouth, allowing it to crack between his top and bottom jaw. The taste of mint reminded him of his favored season, Winter. It had a cooled taste to it, but at the same time, it was refreshing. He continued to crush the mint until it was possible to swallow. "I happen to have a craving for sweets a lot, so what better to do but carry some?"
He was basically a child trapped in an adult body. He was intelligent, yes, but he seemed much more childish in personality. Upon seeing the darker color form upon his acquaintance's visage, he could only laugh kindly, tilting his head carefully. He seemed to admire it quite a bit. "You're still embarassed? The color seems to add straight to your charm, Madamoi--ahem, ahaha. I have not yet learned your name." He quickly corrected himself, remembering she had requested no formalities. It seemed he was rather attached to using them.
He happened not to mind when he heard the quiet laughter his acquaintance gave in response to his question. A small smile broke out across his face as he continued to watch the child and listen to her answer. "So, her name is Estella?" It made him somewhat jealous that she was still young. He did not have much of a childhood. His studies had him busy, and the fact he was brought to attend social events with his parents. It seemed to affect him a bit more when he saw the bond the child shared with her parents. "How fortunate she is in her youth and has a caring family." He pressed a gloved thumb to his lips, not knowing that he spoke his thoughts aloud. He did not show what he felt on the outside due to the fact he did not want others to grant him the gift of sympathy. It was the fact sympathy has never gotten anyone anywhere in life.
Upon returning his attention to Estella, he nodded in response. He had heard her ask about possibly just visiting today. "I suppose." Demetrio gave a chuckle, brushing his hand against where the bangs hung over his left eye. He closed his eyes, rewatching a memory in his mind.
Demetrio seemed to have a low, quiet growl escape his lips as he remembered the twisted pain. He placed his hand back over his face, pushing the memory of the sharp pain of soul injection.
He inhaled sharply, everything after that reaching him to the present point. Remembering Estelle remained, he bowed his head in apology. "Seems I happened to go back into my own thoughts. Desole." Demetrio gave a polite smile, tipping his hat.
Your Zanpakuto:
Zanpakuto Name: Fleur de Noir {Rough Translation of Shikai's name: Flower of Black -- Translated from French}
Sealed Appearance: Fleur de Noir in its dormant state is a katana, like most swords throughout the soul society. The cross guard is a thin, rectangular shape that extends horizontally. The hilt, however, is a black one. It is meant for a two-handed grip, but he uses it with one hand. The katana is exactly fifty-three inches in length, and the blade is one and a half millimeters in width.
Zanpakuto Spirit Description: The spirit, in sense, appears to be what Demetrio would appear to be as a female. Like Demetrio, her skin is smooth, flawless, and peach toned. Her irises burn a bright crimson, and the pupils are gray and shaped in a perfect circle. The scleras are milky white, and her eyes are framed by snow white eyelashes. Her hair is snow white, and it cascades down her back, reaching to her mid-back. Her attire is much like Demetrio's--Appropriate and honorable. The torso consists of a white, buttoned up shirt. The sleeves are long, but the collar is frilled. Around the collar is a white cloth known as a cravat. It, like her collar, is frilled. Over the shirt rests a navy blue jacket with golden buttons. The jacket's sleeves have red cuffs that have black cuff links. She prefers to wear black gloves. Reaching to mid thigh is a black skirt. For footwear, the spirit prefers to wear boots that reach just below the hemline of her skirt. The white boots remained tied tightly.
Shikai
Shikai Release Phrase: "Bloom for me, Fleur de Noir."
Released Appearance: Fleur de Noir becomes a chainsaw like weapon. It can be swung like a sword, but it works as a chainsaw. The hilt has a trigger that starts the chain's rotation, the sharp, razorblades rotating ten times per second. At the bottom of the hilt is a skull shape. covering over the rotating blades is a safety guard. The entire chainsaw is silver. It is lightweight, being simple to swing. The weapon itself is fifty-three inches in length, and five centimeters in width, guard included. Do not let the name be a guide on the element it is based on. The zanpakuto manipulates water.
Other Changes: None
Bankai
Release Phrase: "Ring the iron bells, Crudelitas Animarum." {Rough Translation of Bankai's name: Cruelty for the Souls -- Translated from Latin}
Released Appearance: Crudelitas Animarum becomes a creature that appears to be a fox with nine tails. It wields a long, blood red katana. A same katana takes form in Demetrio's hand, and the creature works as a puppet like effect. It follows his every movement with devastating attacks. Any damage Demetrio takes, the fox demon does, and vice versa. The creature stands at twenty feet, and the katana is fifty-five inches in length. The bankai, unlike the shikai, has no element affiliation.

- Spoiler:
Demetrio
This personality is a serious man that wishes to get buisness done. He is capable of holding grudges for eternity, if needed. Quick-witted and logical, he tries to think rationally before rushing in. He is serious, ergo, he takes everything seriously. He holds no interest in material possessions, choosing only to keep what truly matters: Business. He has a softer side that is shown to the shinigami. He seems tough on the outside, and the same is on the inside. Demetrio wants perfection in this personality, keeping everything in line. His personality can be described as organized, yet strict. Kain
Loving and being loved in return, Kain is a rather caring, yet dangerous form. He takes loving to an extreme measure, caring only for a certain number of people. He is protective of what he is passionate for. As the name Kain suggests, he has violated the taboos of God, becoming a wretched man. However, not lustful, he is moreso loving. He is rather trusting, making this a major flaw in his personality. Kain, however, knows suspicion when he sees it. The most dangerous point in this stage is his perception of things. Kain is very precise, and does not let even the smallest detail slip by. Intuition is nothing compared to perception. Besides being very detailed about things, Kain can have a childish side. Simply put, he is a childish casanova.Judas
Cruel and uncaring, this is the lesser personality. It is released upon fighting, the need for revenge, and bloodshed. He is a hollow shell, holding no emotion but hatred. Judas, in one word, can be described as wrath. The closest thing to his regular personality this one holds is the side of a perfectionist. He likes to see people and creatures writhing in pain. Preferrably, he likes to be the one causing said pain. The only form of caring he shows in this stage is caring whether or not an attack of his hit the target. Judas is famous for loathing any breathing creature. He is heartless, and would sooner die than admit defeat.Your Legacy:

Stefano had escaped, killing over half of the family within his uprising. There was someone who had his eyes set on capturing Stefano. They would use him as the war mongrel he was born to be. He was captured and forced to fight. The fight became a battle, then the battle became war. The war was known well in history as World War Two. Stefano was upon the Axis powers, under the command of Adolf Hitler in the Third Reich.
He was not, however, approving of the views. Stefano would sooner fight to stay alive than fight for their beliefs. Due to constant propaganda, he was brought to honor Germany and its ideals. He was stationed in the Wehrmact as a lieutenant.

The very same night, two others had passed on. Kain and Judas were their names. Upon the way to the soul society, Stefano, Judas, and Kain combined to make the new soul of Demetrio Xanthenacht. Demetrio was born to a family of nobles in the Sereitei District. Life there was far easier than Rukongai. As a noble with spiritual capabilities, he was sent to the Shino Academy. His entrance exam score allowed him to participate within the advanced classes.
Days went by, and Demetrio began to exhibit strange behavior. The dreams he experienced were seeing Kain and Judas in their spirit forms. The strange behavior was the other two trying to escape, but it was impossible.
Academy days were simple enough. Kido Control, Zanjutsu Understanding, Hakuda Training, and the other typical academy classes. He understood everything for the most part. However, his skills were undetermined. No one could classify him in a certain squad. He craved fighting like the Eleventh Division, but was stealthy like the Second Division. He still had five years, so it was no worry upon deciding.
The exam to pass onto his second year was a written one for his year. The questions, if one studied, were simple. Mostly covering what a zanpakuto is, the job of a shinigami, and so on. Demetrio passed the exam, but he made a rival that same day. The rival's name was a female by the name of Riza Nazrin. The two held a burning hatred for eachother. The hatred went as far as sabotage, even.
The second year went smoothly, more work, but still simple. Riza and Demetrio's hatred was like a burning flame. The two would argue restlessly to get their points across. Some students just didn't care, then others tried to ignore the two. The exam in the world of the living came around the third year for the students, and irony hit when Riza and Demetrio were paired as partners to take down the simulation hollow threats.
The group of students went to the world of the living, all the preparations made according to their needs. Some brought just their practice katanas, then some went as far as to bring medicine. Better to make it a habit to prepare medicine than not to. A third person, a male, was assigned to the dysfunctional group. His name was Izaya Kagamine. He was an odd fellow, moreso antisocial than anything, but a kind boy. The three were agreeing on one thing--Strategy came first. As others simply attacked, Demetrio, Riza, and Izaya were planning on how to remove the hollows.
Their plan became an effective one. Demetrio went to the west, Izaya to the east, and Riza to the North. The other students were busy roaming the south for hollows. The three wore headsets to contact each other in case of emergency. The fighting of hollows was simple, due to the fact they were just simulations. Due to all the activity, actual hollows were able to slip through. Demetrio was the first to encounter one of them. He thought it was another simulation, so he fought it in a careless manner. The carelessness caused him to be injured. It was not so much painful as it was troublesome. He raised his pratice katana towards the beast. It had a white mask of a crow, but the muscular body of a maroon beast. Sharp claws grew from its fingertips. He hissed quietly, moving forward to make an attempt with an attack. The creature laughed, pushing Demetrio back. He dropped the practice katana in the process. The hollow laughed, stepping on the katana, snapping it in half. Demetrio was nowhere near the point of giving up. He stood up, raising his hand towards the beast.
"Bakudo Number One, Sai." The command came. He folded his fingers so only the index and middle fingers remained raised. The Kido was the first he had learned. It was a binding spell from the first year. "Kagamine, Nazrin. Point C, if you'd be so kind."
A minute after contacting his team, they arrived, their practice swords raised. Their eyes were in shock. "W-what is that?!" Izaya backed away to get a full glimpse of the creature. Two senior class members contacted them through their headsets. "Team Four! Your current point has a breech! Get to safety, now!"
The three were in shock. They were facing real hollows, and with practice swords. Riza tossed her sword aside as she noticed a smaller hollow that looked like a frog sort of creature. It launched at her, but she stepped out of the way. The mutter of an incantation came as she eyed the creature. From her hand shot a thin streak of lightning. "Byakurai!" The lightning cracked open the hollow's mask, causing it to fade away.
Izaya dropped his sword in the process. Raising his leg, he slammed his heel into another hollow's mask, cracking it. He would rely on Hakuda to take out the hollows. Demetrio winced somewhat as he kept focus on holding the other hollow in place with Sai. He released the binding by accident, but Izaya took out the hollow with ease. Riza came to Demetrio's side to fix the wound he received during the battle. The three gave a sigh of relief. As they went to return to the meeting point, a howl was heard behind them, followed by an attack. The hollow was given the code name Incognito. Its ability was disguising itself. They could not see it, nor did they sense it. The attack was a cero. It caused Izaya to fly forward, slamming into a building.
Demetrio stood on guard as Riza rushed to Izaya's side. He watched the hollow for any sign of movements. The hollow made a quick swipe towards Demetrio's side, but it missed. He grinned carefully, something in this tone changing. "I'm sorry. We can't let you harm this boy." The hollow howled, moving to attack again. This time, Demetrio grabbed ahold of its wrist. "Yeah. I've kinda grown a liking to this kid. No offense, but we're not gonna let you kill him." The hollow gave another howl as Demetrio raised a set of wires. He kept them just in case. He sent the wires flying horizontally. They cut through the hollow's mouth, cutting in the form in which the hollow received a glasgow smile. Blood dripped down the razor thin wires. Demetrio ripped the wires back, causing the hollow to fall forward. He moved to give another attack, but he was knocked out of the air by the hollow trying to get up. The pressure exerted caused Demetrio's bones to shatter. He was motionless. The pain caused him to blackout.
Riza watched, allowing Izaya to rest after fixing him up. She stood on her feet. "I can't let you kill him. I need someone to give me a challenge." She picked up the practice sword she had, ready to attack the hollow. She grinned as the sword was actually able to cut through its flesh. The hollow raised its other arm, stabbing its claws straight through Riza's torso. She coughed, but wasn't ready to give in. Raising the practice sword, she stabbed into the hollow's arm, causing it to release her. She fell to the ground, then used the sword to help her stand. Vision clouded with blood, all she saw were two figures standing in front of her. They raised weapons that looked nothing like dormant zanpakuto. She coughed once more, collapsing.
The three students awoke in the fourth division barracks. Riza was the first, then Izaya, then Demetrio. A squad member looked at the three and smiled. "Good to see you're awake and moving. I have to give you students credit. You were able to stand up against those hollows for quite some time. At least you're alive, that much calls for a celebration, ahaha."
Two other shinigami stepped in the room, one male and one female. The male smiled at Riza. "Y'know, you had a lot of willpower to cause one of those practice katanas to cut through that thing. You did as much as you could to save your partners here. You could make a great captain someday."
Riza turned her head, mumbling something. "Thank you, sir." "Kyoshiro. Member of the Thirteenth Division." The male corrected her. He didn't like formalities much. Riza nodded. "Well, thank you both for coming to our rescue."
The female nodded. "Anytime. My name is Kallen." She looked at Demetrio and Izaya, as well. "You all fought exceptionally well. Though, I'm curious. You, silver haired kid." Demetrio looked up. He cleared his throat. "Demetrio Xanthenacht." Kallen nodded. "I see. Anyway, you were talking to the hollow. Curiosity caught me. What did you mean by 'We can't let you harm this boy', and 'We're not gonna let you kill him'?"
Demetrio was in shock. "I never said that." He couldn't help but stare.
Kallen raised an eyebrow. "Yes, you did. Also, your tone changed when you spoke those. The one was lighter, than the other was darker."
Demetrio remained silent. He knew who had said it at the mention of his tone changing. He exhibited such behavior before. "It wasn't me. It was someone else. Kain and Judas, to be exact."
Kyoshiro chuckled. "You're a crazy kid, you know that? Just who are Kain and Judas?"
Demetrio paused. "Well, before I arrived here, soul injection was performed, you could say." Kallen understood, but Kyoshiro, as well as Riza and Izaya did not.
"Soul Injection? I've studied it, but I didn't know it was possible. By chance, were you ever trapped in the Dangai Precipice?"
"Can't say I know for certain. I just found myself trapped in some sort of morbid wonderland." Demetrio thought for a moment. "Though, I remember seeing another soul there. She was the one who did it."
Kyoshiro cleared his throat. "None of this makes sense. Just what is Soul Injection?"
Kallen closed her eyes. "Soul Injection is the trapping of other souls and giving them a host soul that is reborn in the Soul Society. Only a few have been discovered in Rukongai and Sereitei. They are rare, but they are not dangerous. The persona just alters, depending on the soul's attitude. For example, the lighter toned one that mentioned about not letting him die would have been a caring individual in his past life. The darker toned one that mentioned he took a liking to Demetrio and not letting him die could have possibly been a violent individual."
Izaya looked at Demetrio in a surprised manner. "I knew there was something about you, but this is... Well, surprising." He chuckled, rubbing the back of his head.
Riza laughed somewhat. "Well, there's three of you in one? This will make for an interesting rivalry, Xanthenacht."
After full recovery, the three returned to the academy. The students were surprised to hear they all lived from the fight. The fourth year came easy, as well as the fifth. The sixth year became challenging, but Demetrio was able to handle it. The graduation exam came. It was a written exam, followed by showing control of kido, discovering one's zanpakuto, then free reign on a timed exam to take out as many hollows as possible.
The written exam consisted of questions learned throughout the six years. What a zanpakuto was, the shinigami's job, the thirteen squads, followed by side branches such as Research and Development, Kido Corps, Onmitsukido, and so on. The final question was how to achieve shikai. The questions, for most, were moderate.
The controlling of kido was a simple test of showing if students knew how to use certain kido appropriately, their incantations, and control. Some were able to perform profoundly, then others were simply terrible.
The third test was going into one's own psyche and finding their zanpakuto. This would have been the most simple one. The zanpakuto, of course, was not the shikai release, but finding a part of themselves. Exactly what the dormant state would be such as type, length, and so on. Length proved how much reiatsu one held. Each student was successful in this.
The fourth and final test was a timed test in which students would kill hollows throughout the world of the living. Five students were placed in different countries. Fourty students all together took this test, due to the fact only a few were sent to go on. Demetrio, Izaya, and Riza were sent to Italy, followed by two other students. Julchen and Luka were sent with them. The five split up and went hollow hunting. Demetrio was in luck. Where he went, he found a good number of hollows. He fought each of them with ease, killing ten all together. Izaya found five, killing them. Riza found seven, killing them with ease. Julchen killed nine. Luka, however, was nowhere to be found. He went to Demetrio's sector, breaking a piece of hollow bait to form hollows about. Demetrio found the hollows, killing them, but they just kept coming. More and more were being killed. The hollows began to spread about, finding Izaya, Julchen, and Riza. They began to fight them, and Luka began to fight them as well. The time was up, but the hollows still kept coming. One attacked Riza, killing her, and one killed Izaya. Shinigami were sent to destroy the rest, and the students were brought back to hear the results.
"Norway Team, Chikage is the victor with fourty hollows. America Team, Rolan is the victor with thirty-two. France Team, Victoria is the victor with fifty-one. Italy team, Demetrio is the victor with... Two Hundred Fourty-Seven? That is impossible!"
One of the representatives came forward, whispering something into the announcer's ear. The announcer glared at the Italy Team. "This is hard to say, but each of you are disqualified. Someone has found traces of hollow bait in your area. Demetrio Xanthenacht, Julchen Beilschmidt, and Luka Liberati, you are all disqualified from becoming Shiniga-"
"Not so fast!" Kyoshiro's voice rang out. He stood up, along with Kallen. The two pointed at Luka, each of them glaring darkly and speaking in unison. "He's the one."
The announcer spoke loudly. "Just what is this nonsense?!"
Kyoshiro was quick to answer. "He brought hollow bait, knowing it was illegal to be within testing. We were watching the whole time. He did it to sabotage the others in hopes he would be the one to graduate."
Luka glared at Kyoshiro in a manner that told the shinigami to keep quiet. "N-Nonsense! I did no such thing!"
"Will you be willing to allow us to do a search to find any excess powder on your hands?"
Luka remained silent. The crowd stared at him. He finally sighed. "I can't lie, it seems. I did it, and the motive you came up with was correct."
"Very well. Luka Liberati, you have failed the exam, the academy, and yourself. You will never become a shinigami again!" Two shinigami grabbed him, dragging him out. After that, Demetrio had graduated.
RP Sample: A faint smile of amusement came to his lips when his acquaintance agreed to drop formalities. He simply nodded upon her request to drop formalities towards herself. "Fair enough." He seemed to bite the small mint he placed in his mouth, allowing it to crack between his top and bottom jaw. The taste of mint reminded him of his favored season, Winter. It had a cooled taste to it, but at the same time, it was refreshing. He continued to crush the mint until it was possible to swallow. "I happen to have a craving for sweets a lot, so what better to do but carry some?"
He was basically a child trapped in an adult body. He was intelligent, yes, but he seemed much more childish in personality. Upon seeing the darker color form upon his acquaintance's visage, he could only laugh kindly, tilting his head carefully. He seemed to admire it quite a bit. "You're still embarassed? The color seems to add straight to your charm, Madamoi--ahem, ahaha. I have not yet learned your name." He quickly corrected himself, remembering she had requested no formalities. It seemed he was rather attached to using them.
He happened not to mind when he heard the quiet laughter his acquaintance gave in response to his question. A small smile broke out across his face as he continued to watch the child and listen to her answer. "So, her name is Estella?" It made him somewhat jealous that she was still young. He did not have much of a childhood. His studies had him busy, and the fact he was brought to attend social events with his parents. It seemed to affect him a bit more when he saw the bond the child shared with her parents. "How fortunate she is in her youth and has a caring family." He pressed a gloved thumb to his lips, not knowing that he spoke his thoughts aloud. He did not show what he felt on the outside due to the fact he did not want others to grant him the gift of sympathy. It was the fact sympathy has never gotten anyone anywhere in life.
Upon returning his attention to Estella, he nodded in response. He had heard her ask about possibly just visiting today. "I suppose." Demetrio gave a chuckle, brushing his hand against where the bangs hung over his left eye. He closed his eyes, rewatching a memory in his mind.
Demetrio seemed to have a low, quiet growl escape his lips as he remembered the twisted pain. He placed his hand back over his face, pushing the memory of the sharp pain of soul injection.
He inhaled sharply, everything after that reaching him to the present point. Remembering Estelle remained, he bowed his head in apology. "Seems I happened to go back into my own thoughts. Desole." Demetrio gave a polite smile, tipping his hat.
Your Zanpakuto:
Zanpakuto Name: Fleur de Noir {Rough Translation of Shikai's name: Flower of Black -- Translated from French}
Sealed Appearance: Fleur de Noir in its dormant state is a katana, like most swords throughout the soul society. The cross guard is a thin, rectangular shape that extends horizontally. The hilt, however, is a black one. It is meant for a two-handed grip, but he uses it with one hand. The katana is exactly fifty-three inches in length, and the blade is one and a half millimeters in width.
Zanpakuto Spirit Description: The spirit, in sense, appears to be what Demetrio would appear to be as a female. Like Demetrio, her skin is smooth, flawless, and peach toned. Her irises burn a bright crimson, and the pupils are gray and shaped in a perfect circle. The scleras are milky white, and her eyes are framed by snow white eyelashes. Her hair is snow white, and it cascades down her back, reaching to her mid-back. Her attire is much like Demetrio's--Appropriate and honorable. The torso consists of a white, buttoned up shirt. The sleeves are long, but the collar is frilled. Around the collar is a white cloth known as a cravat. It, like her collar, is frilled. Over the shirt rests a navy blue jacket with golden buttons. The jacket's sleeves have red cuffs that have black cuff links. She prefers to wear black gloves. Reaching to mid thigh is a black skirt. For footwear, the spirit prefers to wear boots that reach just below the hemline of her skirt. The white boots remained tied tightly.
Shikai
Shikai Release Phrase: "Bloom for me, Fleur de Noir."
Released Appearance: Fleur de Noir becomes a chainsaw like weapon. It can be swung like a sword, but it works as a chainsaw. The hilt has a trigger that starts the chain's rotation, the sharp, razorblades rotating ten times per second. At the bottom of the hilt is a skull shape. covering over the rotating blades is a safety guard. The entire chainsaw is silver. It is lightweight, being simple to swing. The weapon itself is fifty-three inches in length, and five centimeters in width, guard included. Do not let the name be a guide on the element it is based on. The zanpakuto manipulates water.
Other Changes: None
Bankai
Release Phrase: "Ring the iron bells, Crudelitas Animarum." {Rough Translation of Bankai's name: Cruelty for the Souls -- Translated from Latin}
Released Appearance: Crudelitas Animarum becomes a creature that appears to be a fox with nine tails. It wields a long, blood red katana. A same katana takes form in Demetrio's hand, and the creature works as a puppet like effect. It follows his every movement with devastating attacks. Any damage Demetrio takes, the fox demon does, and vice versa. The creature stands at twenty feet, and the katana is fifty-five inches in length. The bankai, unlike the shikai, has no element affiliation.
Other Changes: None
Abilities
Name: Baton Pass
State: Shikai
Terms of Usage: Activated
