Ptolemaios, Roddo [11th Division Taicho]
Character
Name: Oistin-Zuex Ptolemaios, Roddo
Nickname: Sutekh or Set
Age (Appearance/Actual): 26/2110 (To match history)
Birth Date: July 17, 98 BC
Gender: Male
Non-Zanpakutō Weapon(s): None
Personality:
Disrespectful, rude, crude, annoying, exuberant, obnoxious and any other negative aspect that I forgot to mention. Roddo is indeed a "Problem child", he doesn't take shit from anyone and refuses to give respect where it isn't due. Known for having a few quiet spells, but that quickly goes away in the presence of ignorance. His snarls and growls is the only warning you would probably receive before he blows your house down. Roddo believes he is above everybody, even when he was a seated member of the Gotei he thought that of his captain at times and isn't afraid to force his opinion on someone or something regardless of his position.
Roddo is a very intelligent being, he shows a no tolerance attitude for people who run at the mouth a lot about things they no nothing about. He is not into tedious work, and you will find that he gets bored easily .... if it isn't training, fighting, or computer research he usually isn't interested (Besides the females of course). Roddo demands respect from everybody, don't expect him to show favor toward you if you don't give him any reason to.
He is very patient when he wants to be, this helps him think on the spot and to stay calm but don't let this fool you as he is also known for a few surprises every now and then. Don't expect ptolemaios to open up very much, he only responds in a friendly manner to thos he considers closest of his friends. Those who he holds dearest to his heart see a total different side of than anyone else.
To them he's very loving, nurturing, and they always feel comfortable around him; even in his angriest of times. Very few can calm him down once he enters a state of raw rage, among those few are his comrades who don't hesitate to let him know when he's wrong. He is known among his friends to be the best at what he does while keeping a very stubborn and serious attitude. Very few have pushed him too far without feeling the consequences of his anger.
Roddo is known for jokes every now and then but doesn't get to carried away. He seems to always take a natural teacher/leader position to those around him, usually being the eldest it's as though he always has the insight those around him are looking for. No matter the situation or the conditions of his life; Roddo has never stopped caring or helping people, though you may have to get past his outer shell of sorts ...
Trust? Roddo has never truly known the real definition behind the word because of how many times he's seen his enemies or his comrades sell out each other. He feels as though every instance of loyalty has a pre-nuptual agreement, and for the right price ... such an relatonship can and will be broken with the promise of ones benefit as the wager. "A father will kill his son for the promise to have the world at his whim", With that said he tends to keep a very close eye on those around him, their tendencies, their activities, etc etc.
Sarcasm, attitude, smart remarks, these all come natural to him when encountered by 'dumb-wittedness' or just utter ignorance. He always has an opinion or the right words to say in a situation, for those times he doesn't ... you might wanna duck an cover.
Physical Appearance:
Something about Jino's body always seemed unnatural, but in truth every muscle in his body was attained solely through hard work. Standing 6'7 and 275 lbs ... arms, from the top of his shoulders to the tip of his finger nails are a marvelous sight to behold. They are extremely large, not only for someone his age and position but even for a vets. The rest of Roddo's body is also truly a beautiful sight ... his deltoids, Pectos (chest), biceps, abs, quads (thighs), even his gluteus maximus and down to the muscles in his feet are well trained and have the looks to match.
Despite what most would believe, Jino trains his body for more speed than strength ... he was always large as a child and to overcome such a weakness such as his agility and speed he had to train his body. His body is now at a level to where any such body weight has no affect on how fast he could react or speedy he was in general.
Even of Carthage decent he is of a lighter skin tone. Roddo's hair is probably one of his most prized possession with the exception of his music, his hair could often be seen in a afro, ponytail, braids, permed or hidden under a Du Rag (Dew Rag w.e). He also has long and thin sideburns that reach all the way down his face. Before taming such a beast, (his hair) it was known to just flow with the wind ... sometimes seen in the most oddest forms and shapes with only a simple hair tie to keep it quite sane.
Roddo is known to have longer nails than normal but only on his pinky nails on both hands. He also is known to have a lazy eye at times on his left eye, making his eye seem more narrow than usual. He wears 2 wide bands around each of his wrists black of color, each with their own sayings. One states "Don't underestimate me or you'll be at my mercy" and the other "Nothing can make my will and determination falter."
ust prior to his disappearance from the Gotei 13, Roddo could often be seen in his customized battle uniform. It was designed by a scientist while he spent his time in the Gotei 13 ... this uniform allows maximum movement as well as maximum protection. Throughout his uniform are sets of weights that allows him to maximize his training.
Roddo is rarely seen without a pair of pitch black shades, or mirror shades that were also designed specifically for him. Along with such, he is maybe be seen in a long leather jacket or a hoodie. The jacket is reversible, the other side being his captain robe.
He is rarely, if ever seen in the traditional shinigami garbs ... he tends to indulge in the style of the real world. From his music, clothes, hair, they all resemble that of someone that currently resides in the real world. Jino is usually always seen with a set of head phones somewhere on his being, mostly on his ears. He usually rocks a 'wife beater' (Tank top/muscle shirt, and a pair of black or white jeans or 'dickies'. Shades are often placed upon his eyes, as well as a gold chain around his neck with various charms during his 'down-time'.
Likes:
-Training; one thing that Roddo holds above many things in this world is his training, he prides himself on being prepared for anything friendly or hostile. 6 times out of 10 ten if he can't be found, he's secluded himself from the public eye to initiate in some sort of training.- -Research; another aspect in his daily regiment that adds to his ideal of preparation, there isn't much that Roddo doesn't know ... the amount of time in which he has blessed soul society and the real world with his presence added to his persistence in wanting to know everything.
- -Females; the only thing with the potential to trump the previous stated above is that of the opposite sex, Roddo has always been a ladies man and he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Whether it be friend or foe, whether he's shaking your hand or has his zan to your throat ... the fact that you're a female can mean much more. {Power of the P-U-S- ... you get the picture}
- -Music; though it may be quite annoying for others, Roddo indulges in the music of current times rather often. Sometimes it even get to the point where he can be heard reciting lyrics, or bobbing his head and tapping his feet to music that he follows in his head.
- -Rain/Stormy weather; for some reason this always puts him in a good mood and these conditions are actually what he prefers to train in, the rain and the commotion in the sky seems to soothe him more than a nice warm day.
Dislikes:
- Cockiness § Oh boy, one thing that has the potential to bring the worst out in him is the cockiness of either friend or foe. Though he himself may be highly self-assertive, he believes that others that haven't proven to be so 'above' everyone else should stay quiet.
- Haters § What is their really to say about 'haters', those who speak their opinion strictly from an envious point of view ... roddo highly disapproves of this nature and with gladly speak against it no matter the company.
- Tall People § As funny as it may seem, Roddo rather dislikes people of tall stature. Being above average height himself, those that happen to rise above him put him in a rather sour mood every time. To him it's like they're trying to belittle him by other means, even without speaking a word ...
- Secrets § One of his biggest pet peeves, he completely hates secrets ... things hidden or kept from him are an easy way to bring out his bad side. I guess such would also include lieing, he tries to overcome such distinction of the normal being by doing as much research as possible. Thus not leaving himself in the dark ...

Bio:
Roddo was born into the Roman Empire, for the 1st 14 years of his life it was only him and his mother. His mother was a woman of Carthage while his father was an active member in the Roman Army, known for his fighting skills and tactics. Once his father was appointed 'Legatus Legionis' he wasn't seen much at home. Besides his mother Roddo had 4 very close friends, with them he shared everything with and he knew that they always had his back. Roddo had manifested some deep angers inside of him for his father even though his father came into the picture later on in his life.
Despite his emotions toward his father, his mother had deep feelings and love for his father. One day his father came knocking on the door, he later asked Roddo's mother could he move in ... once she agreed it seemed as though both his parents came to be in a relationship once again. Despite all his objections to it, his parents later became married which pushed Roddo over the edge. It would seem to Roddo that despite his father's abandonment and other sinful acts, his mother would always welcome him with open arms.
While still in Rome he used this anger as his strength in every situation, school, sports, fighting, exercise etc. To keep his anger and frustration Roddo constantly exercised, weight lifted, and trained his body and mind to withstand stress. He found he released his stress best by concentrating on his goals and accomplishing them. Everybody around him figured he was just trainign by himself to become a soldier like his father, but his mission was to NOT become like his father.
As life with his mother and father went along Roddo became more and more uneasy due to the presence of his father progressed till one day he overheard an argument between both his parents. His anger flared and he approached his father with unrivaled raged as he attacked his father unrelentlessly, his actions was halted when his mother attempted to stop him and he mistakenly struck her. Much harm didn't come to his mother but his family seen the danger he was to the household and to the family and sent him to official military training. Leaving the most important people to his life did a number on Roddo but it also helped him become self-conscious. At the age of 16 Roddo was already of size, he stood 6 ft 2 inches and weighed around 230 lbs.
Once admitted into the army the only thing that Roddo regretted was leaving behind his friends and his family. As for his training, to the normal new trainee the training would be considered harsh and cruel depending on the situation ... but these were the conditions which Roddo trained in everyday day. Things that allowed him to vent his anger, basic things that everyday soldiers had to learn such as swimming, sword practice, bow, sling and Javelin use. This among other things was just another common day of training for Roddo, once admitted into the ranks he quickly climbed up to the rank of 'Centurion' which was the highest 'mid-level' officer rank.
By the age of 18 Roddo was appointed 'Tribunus Laticlavius' (2nd In Command ) mostly due to his bravery, tactics, and ultimate defeat over Sulla in the "Battle of the Colline Gate". Even after the incidents back at home, Roddo's father held no ill-will toward him ... his father looked at it as he would become an even greater soldier than himself which was an honor in his eyes. This "defeat" took a toll on his father's reputation as a father but not as a soldier, eventhough Roddo gave the credit to an army friend of his Marcus Licinius Crassus for the win over Sulla Roddo still was promoted due to his father's praise.
There was Roddo, riding side by side with his father into war as the Roman Republic forces began their march toward Cyzicus, Asia Minor to defeat Pontus forces that had beseiged the Roman controlled town. Roddo's position and rank mattered not on the battlefield, the fact that he was next to his father angered him more and led him to feel no remorse when pummeling his enemies. Those feelings were ignored as he looked to his right, there one of his best friends rode side-by-side with him and also 3rd in command Marcus Crassus. His friend Marcus reminded him so much of his friends back home that it was only natural for them to get along. As they headed into the battle the forces of Pontus were nothing, the Roman forces easily triumphanted over the pheeble people with minimum losses.
On the way back to the main base Roddo and company ran into the slave revolt led by Spartacus, this was Rome's 3rd run-in with these slave forces ... the previous 2 ending in defeat. Going into battle Roddo didn't know that this would be his last, as the fight ensued he fought back to back with his bestfriend making sure no harm came to each other ... a tradition among soldiers. As Roddo became more and more involved in the fight he found himself getting more angry as it went on, as he looked back toward he friend he had created some distance between them due to him losing cnorentration. On his way back toward Marcus he noticed a member of the opposing rebel forces coming up behind him, Roddo quickly dispatched him with a solid strike to the neck.
As the fight went on it looked like they would come out with the victory, Roddo's friend has recieved an injury to his leg and was carried back toward his father's area. As Roddo made his way back he notice 2 archers in full stretch ready to attack, he ran as fast as he could and knocked down both his father and his friend. Eventhough he had saved his friend's life and ironically his father also, he had put himself in danger and paid the price. Roddo took 2 arrows the the side of the chest, as he lay motionless on the battlefield all he could think of is his mother and the friends he left behind. The last thing he saw was his father and his friend as his vision blurred away ..
Life in District 78 :
As he woke up in the strangest place (Rukongai) it was hard for him to come to grips that he was alone. Approached by people of his age, he never was willing to make friends or to even concern his self with others fearing that he will somehow once again lose them. Roddo didn't like having no friends but it was a choice which he made, he always thought to himself that he could never get anything done unless he was by himself. Even while being in a different environment Roddo still took his common ways, he spent most of his days exercising and conditioning his body. He did much of his training during sun down due to the fact that it was quiet and there less of a chance that he could be interrupted by his peers.
During the day Roddo could rarely be found out and about the district due to the fact that he may be sleeping, Due to the fact that he always pushed himself to the limit while exercising, he found him resting whenever he got the chance. Roddo doesn't take kindly to threats and he often find himself defending those that can't defend themselves in certain situations. One day he got up early, (early to him is about 1-2 in the afternoon) he decided to walk around. As he was walking quietly to himself he noticed that a young boy a bit smaller than himself was arguing about what seems to be a soccer ball, as he got closer he noticed that an older fellow had taken the ball and the young boy was just trying to get it back. Long story short, Roddo was taken lightly in the situation and the older fellow got hurt in the process but Roddo was praised for sticking up for the younger one.
Roddo loved the feeling that the praise brought to him, among his time in the district 78 he was widely known for his actions among it's occupants, he was actually feared among the bullies and they tried to make sure he didn't catch them when they were up to no good.
During his training sessions he always found a way or some method to further his training, he often relived thoughts of his past that quickly angered him and gave him bursts of energy while training pushing him to his limits. One Day while exercising he was approached but an unknown Shinigami and was asked "Why do you push yourself so far?" He responded "To always be ready, and to learn to control ones self". The shinigami recommended him to the academy ...
Life in the academy:
Once admitted into the academy he found that people of his class were not much of a challenge. There wasn't much of a challenge during his first couple of years in the academy due to the fact that there were nothing else that actually interested him besides training and studying. One day he was stricken speechless when he noticed a student at the academy with hard work ethics similar to his own. Once he got a closer look, to his surprise this "student" was his long lost friends ... he knew there had to be a reason for this because the chances of him seeing anyone of the past was a slim chance if not zero.
As he quickly dispelled every so called 'challenge' that came his way his instructors quickly began to notice. As a result Roddo was moved up 2 classes to fit him in with more of a group near his skill, but within a year he quickly stood out once again. According to his instructors he learns and adapts to thing like no other student within thee academy. After about 4 1/2 years he found himself graduating at the top of his class.
Life as a shinigami:
Once graduated he was immediately admitted to the 2nd Division, Roddo was used to starting at the bottom so he didn't have a problem with his current position with the division. Roddo found a lot of time on his hands due to the fact he was only needed as an reinforcement, but he could never find anything to do with this time besides relax. Any other time he would be training but he could never find a suitable area in which he could efficiently train, the current areas designated to train in were too crowded and too limited for him to properly train.
Within his free time Roddo found decided to go on a hunt to find a suitable place to train, he knew that if he wanted to further himself he had to go back to his old ways. After about a couple of hours of searching he grew bored, just when he was about to give up he came to a secluded cave a little outside of Seireitei. As the years went by Roddo quickly came to power as he learned to achieve some of his inner most power but he could but think that there was much more for him to learn. After about 25 years he found himself as 5th seat of the 2nd division, he found himself going up the ranks not only by challenges but by actual promotions due to the noticeable power difference he had amongst his peers.
Once seated in the 3rd position of his division he knew that there was so much more for him to accomplish, he had became the keeper of the maggot's nest but he knew there had to be more ... during a training session he felt something within himself as he requested the presence of his zanpakuto's spirit. During this session he learned a lot and pushed himself to learn more but became heavily injured in the process. He slowly made his way back to the 2nd division where he was found exhausted, when he awoke he was approached by his current captain with questions as to what happened.
Roddo refused to tell due to the fact that many of his members accompanied his captain, but once alone he explained the situation to his captain with a brief description but Roddo withheld some details. He had achieved a greater power (bankai) but left it out when having the conversation with his captain, but he could not help but to think that his captain knew about it due to the fact that he was promoted to vice captain soon after the incident. After about 11 years of harnessing his new powers and learning to control it, Roddo was promoted to the position of captain of the 11th division. Most found it strange for him to go from the vice captain of the 2nd to the captain of the 11th, but Roddo was always the type to find the secrets behind everything ... pulling down the curtain that was in front of his eyes. With his his broad intelligence and his research prowess, it only made since to make this move. Through most of his actions he had the respect and praise of his peers just like before he joined the academy, this made it easy to get the recommendations and the approval of his fellow captains for his promotion.
: Experiments:
During his time in the academy; Roddo was selected for a special program organized by the Central 46. He was selected due to his progression in the classes at the time, but was decieved into thinking it was just another special training regiment. He was pitted against many different kinds of low level hollow, as well as undergoing special types of blood work overseen by the Central 46 officials. Roddo was told that his sole purpose in the experiment was to become a better soul reaper or a super soldier if you will, and more combat effecient ... and since he showed the most promise he was selected.
Since the academy Roddo has always had dreams of fighting hollows and defeating them, but as the years went by these hollows not only multiplied but became stronger as he did. Up to now he has went through every class of hollow presented before him in his dreams. Up to his captainship he thought nothing of it and years passed. As the years went by Roddo began to have dreams that he couldn't explain. Dreams and daydreams of an enemy that was a reflection of himself but of hollow appearance, a fight to the death. Then he suddenly began to change slowly but surely as more years passed. His left eye begin to form a shadowy red tint around his iris, which he hid from his peers and subordinates.
To date; he's been trying to running tests on himself to keep track of what's happening to his body. Though he has an idea, he's currently not willing to accept his fate so he's exhausting all his options ... no one knows how long his will remain ... this is where the real story begins ...
Zanpakutō
Zanpakutō spirit: Furui is an ancient warrior, she's a fighter of knowledge and instinct. She speaks in complete confidence no matter what she says, and completely matches Roddo's personality. With them being damn near twins as far as personality goes; you would think that they would have some bonding issues in regards to their relationship but that couldn't be the farthest from the truth. Though they do bump heads from time to time, they've learned to give and take ... Roddo being the person that he is just calls it her way of "submitting" to him and of course she disagrees.
The attitude of her wrath rivals that of Roddo, her smart remarks and sarcasm can easily paint nasty picture across his face in the oddest of times. She could very well be the reason of some of his sour moods but he would never admit to giving her such power over his daily emotions. During fights however; she becomes rather blood thirsty instead of focusing on pestering the likes of Ptolemaios.
Furui has 2 forms, her incomplete form being that of shikai ... in this form Furui manifests himself as a bound mummy. A beautiful crown of delicate gold adorns her head, in his withered hands are powerful symbols of office, but the rest of her is covered in banages, her arms bound to his chest. Two holes are in the face are where the eyes are, and when she speaks, his voice is like that of a very old man whose throat is coated with thousands of years of dust.
Then comes her complete/reborn form, she adorns her fighting garb ... equipped with her signature weapon. That being of a long spear front, but wide enough to be mistaken for a sword ... the back of the weapon being that of a scythe type blade.
Inner world: The only thing that would accurately describe Roddo's inner world would be 'remains', the remains of evidence of what once was the platform of an ancient stage. A stage where thousands if not millions have fallen, though it may only be his inner world ... a replica of what used to be an arena ... it is very real to Roddo. Crumbling stairs, the walls no longer visible and the seat ... well ... what seats? These were now simply ruins, underground paths and doorways were now a thing of the past.
Age has definitely took it's toll on this place, a place where thousands upon thousands of civilians and political figures stood and watched ... even wagered on the lives of gladiators. Gladiators was the essence that kept a place like this alive, fighting and killing was their passion ... and their passion is what became the world's entertainment. With the absence of such, this place became meaningless ... or so it would seem. Grass grew where blood stained sand used to reside, flowers bloomed where the heads used to roll and where the fingers were buried. The odd thing was, it was in the middle of nowhere. Outside of the crumbling excuse of a stage stood nothing by high and low dunes of ongoing sand ... this was Roddo's inner world.

Shikai
Shikai name: Furui Joufu
Sealed form: (appearance)
Despite popular belief, Roddo's zanpakuto is a consant release type. It's abilities and reiatsu release is inevitably suppressed/absorbed by a band made of Sekkiseki and lonsdaleite that is attached to his right wrist. The 2 knuckle knives that are usually placed on his back or his thighs are indeed his zanpakuto, but they give off a illusion that they are indeed sealed.
- Spoiler:
Shikai: Both knuckle busters gain a decayed appearance. The blades rusts profusely, gaining nicks in the edge and sometimes even small holes in the side. Long cloth resembling mummy wrap hangs from the back of both the blades. However, this is deceiving because it's malleability isn't affected. As the blades rust; large of amounts of sand can be seen falling from them, some of it hovering around Roddo ... the rest falling to the ground. Upon activation a layer of decay/sand covers Roddo's body, but takes on an appearance of his usual clothing, skin and accessories from the band that ties his hair to the soles of his foot-wear ... providing him with a bit of defense and surprising the most observant foe.
Even though the swords seems to continue to decay mid-fight no size is lost from the blades and can be re-added to form a whole blade whenever Roddo wills it, the sand/rust slowly flows and spreads around the surrounding area.
The rust/sand that begins to flow from the blades have the interesting ability to decay, rust, corrode anything it touches. Any reishi or reiatsu formed or that lays within an object in which is decayed by the sand strengthens the destructive power of the sand attacks/abilities. Roddo can not only fully manipulate said decay and sand, but he can add the decaying remnants to his own power. If weak enough,these said sand/rust/decaying molecules can absorb said energy/reiatsu/reishi from a discharged ability once it impacts the sands. (Cero, kidou, elements, etc) Once the remnants of these said objects, or enemies of the sorts are dissolved into the sands Roddo's power increases based on how strong the opponent was.
The sand/dust flowing from the sword is concentrated using Roddo's reiatsu, making the sands within a 10 yard radius of him stronger in turn making it very difficult to fight him close-range, they constantly circle around his being (Both mid-air and on the ground) unless he triggers it to stop. Along with the full manipulation of said "decay" or "Sand", he can form many objects using it. In shikai the objects formed would still retain it's 'Decay-like' form (Meaning it would still have a sand-like texture and appearance), but once in Bankai he can actually manifest the said 'object' as thought it were real. (Ex: If he were to manipulate the sand or rust into a sword while in shikai, it would look like the dust but while in bankai it would look like a real sword.)
Amount of sand produced:
1 post = 50 cubic ft/1.8 yards radius2 post = 100 cubic ft/3.7 yards radius
3 post = 200 cubic ft/7.4 yards radius
4 post = 400
5 post = 800
6 post = 1600
As the time passes (each post) the amount doubles ...
Passive: While in his released form, the surrounding area in which Roddo resides would slowly drain on life force or reiatsu. Roddo can control such an aura and make it fluctuate anytime he wills it up to a 100 yard radius around him. Upon activation a layer of decay/sand/dust covers Roddo's body, but takes on an appearance of his usual clothing, skin and accessories from the band that ties his hair to the soles of his foot-wear ... providing him with a bit of defense and surprising the most observant foe. Using said aura; Roddo can focus on a particular area on either an opponent or inanimate objects, if the target has any reiatsu/reishi the dust and zanpakuto will slowly draw it's reiatsu or reishi into its own being.This alone makes him difficult to battle in the midst of high reishi or reiatsu based areas like Seireitei and HM. {When I say life force I mean from inanimate objects, so if I'm walking through grass ... as I step through the grass it would die. Also, when I mention reiatsu and reishi I was referring to those types of energies while they're being expended from something(i.e. an ability). I can't drain reiatsu from people bodies.} {I can't use it ON an opponent per say, but on an opponents surroundings or external reiatsu. For example someone who draws reishi from the air, or if they're releasing reiatsu into the atmosphere. So let's say your zan is emitting huge flames of reiatsu, the flames will slowly become lower if you don't use them right away.}
[People are known to get lost when it comes to a whole bunch of words so; plain and simple this zanpakuto is designed to ROT/DECAY/RUST. Obviously you can't really decay reiatsu/reishi/discharged energy; so the sand absorbs/decays/corrodes what energy it can and discharges it. Same thing when it come to any physical force, obviously there's limit and etc which will be explained later. The aura of the passive ability is in regards to inanimate objects such as buildings, trees, chairs, etc etc.It also includes reiatsu that has been expended from the body, meaning if there's a small fire on the ground (created by someone)... overtime it will get smaller until it's no longer there when affected by the zan's ability.]
Call out phrase: Technically he doesn't need to say anything, but the band around his wrist could be remove manually (only by him) or by a voice command. "Release, Furui Joufu" or simply "release" and focusing his rei into the hand in which the band is located.
Abilities/techniques:
- Spoiler:
- Name: Sekiei (Quartz)
Type: (Passive)
Effect: This technique allows Roddo to change the hardness of his sand, which allows him to deflect, repel, or stop many ailments. Using this technique allows him to seperate his sand from moisture (water) or and repel other elemental properties. This in turn will also stop his sand from being simply blown away, for only he can control the trajectory. (Quartz is a mineral that's hard enough to scratch glass, the only thing harder is diamond(Topaz, corundum). Water and wind would technically just bounce off of it, it's like hitting a glass window with a breeze or water. As far as fire goes, it'll be hard to penetrate but it's possible with extended amount of time because it does heat up. (Quartz melting point is 4200 degrees F) Each grain of sand is capable of cutting cutting flesh as a sword would, if not more so.
- Spoiler:
- Name: Onzon (Preserve)
Type: (Active)
Effect: With this, shreds of Roddo's clothes tend to fall around his surroundings and combine with the sand. Roddo can control this remnants of his clothes and they turn into mummy wrap, depending on the amount of reiatsu Roddo puts out to maintain them they can be as soft as tissue (or even transparent) to as tough as a zanpakuto. Another ability of such technique is the fact that these bands act as a medical-aid to Roddo as well. These "Wraps" decay the edges and inside of certain wounds, stopping it from bleeding ... after such has taken place they create an "armor" of decay around the area making it difficult to pierce that area again.
Weakness: The harder the composition of the wraps; the more straining it is on Roddo's reiatsu to maintain it's consistency as time goes on. To keep the wraps at zanpakuto toughness it'll cost Roddo -1 Exhaustion per post
- Spoiler:
- Name: Sogekihei (Sniper)
Type: (Active)
Effect: Out of the various weapons that Roddo can form from his sand, the projectile ones are definitely the most dangerous. Whether it be an bow & arrow, a gun, a javelin, shurikens, the potential that each of them hold are near equal. Forming these weapons or just using the form of it's ammunition allows Roddo to fire a shot over 1.5 miles in regards to distance at amazing speeds. Said ammo is designed to pierce skin/muscle and lodge itself within the body, causing the opponent to feel the affects of the shikai ability from the inside. As soon as the ability is activated; Roddo becomes camouflaged by his sand ... making it near impossible for him to be seen or even sensed by reiatsu means (whether by natural means or mechanical means). Dmg is str based ...
Weakness: If Roddo moves more than a 10 yards radius from his original position, the veil covering him is removed. After 5 shots have been fired, the camouflage is dropped and Roddo loses the ability to use this technique for 3 posts and loses the ability to form anything using his sand for 1 post (Outside of normal manipulation, he can still move it around but he can't form weapons/objects of any kind)
- Spoiler:
- Name: Tenmei (Karma/Destiny)
Type: (Passive)
Effect: With this ability; once an opposing force impacts any part of the sands it's force is decayed/absorbed, retained and diverted into an lesser energy or force to be used against the original user. Once the energy is diverted and used against the original user, the effects of said attack will be as if Roddo was the one being hit. (For example if someone's rei/kido equaled my hankou fired a cero, 50% of it would hit me/be blocked/dodged, but if it hits my sand too i'll be able to fire the other 50% back at my opponent) Once said energy is decayed/absorbed and diverted, the energy becomes Roddo's and the said energy is no longer in control of it's original user or can be to any extent afterwards.
IN REGARD TO REIATSU BASED ABILITIES
Tier 1 = My Hankou vs Their Reiryoku/Kido = My Hankou 2 ranks higher
Tier 2 = My Hankou vs Their Reiryoku/kido = My Hankou 1 rank higher
Tier 3 = My Hankou vs Their Reiryoku/kido = The same
Tier 4 = My Hankou vs Their Reiryoku/kido = Stronger Rei
Tier 1: 100% Decayed/Diverted
Tier 2: 65% Decayed/Diverted
Tier 3: 50% Decayed/Diverted
Tier 4: 35% Decayed/Diverted
Note: If said kidou is a restraint, the initial contact would be decayed and slowly decayed more after being restrained. (If strong enough to withhold prior to impact)
The energy retained can only be used in the same fashion in which it was recieved, meaning the reiatsu based attacks can only be used as reiatsu based attacks being returned. The energy can be immediately returned to the user upon impact with the sands, or retained for a delayed return.
IN REGARDS TO MELEE
Normal hits(melee): In regards to normal melee, with each impact a portion will be absorbed and returned with the next normal melee attack that comes from Roddo. If hit multiple times before he unloads an attack, the percentage diverted back to the attacker stacks. (Up to 500%) Roddo has to take the hit and the consequences that comes with it in order for the ability to succeed.
Tier 1 = Stronger (My def vs Their Off) = Their Off 1 rank higher
Tier 2 = On Par (My def vs Their Off) = Equal stats
Tier 3 = Moderate (My def vs Their Off) = Their Off 1 rank lower
Tier 4 = Weak (My def vs Their Off) = Their Off 2 ranks lower
Tier 1: Each normal hit adds 15% potency to the next melee attack if used within the time limit.
Tier 2: Each normal hit adds 25% potency to the next melee attack if used within the time limit.
Tier 3: Each normal hit adds 35% potency to the next melee attack if used within the time limit.
Tier 4: Each normal hit adds 50% potency to the next melee attack if used within the time limit.
(The percentages of both reiatsu and melee attacks are the % of the attack that will be absorbed by the sand and transferred back to the opponent of Roddo chooses to do so.)
Weakness: No matter if it's a reiatsu based attack or a melee based attack there is a time limit in which the energy/force that was diverted can be used, if not used within that specific time then the ability can't be used. Considering the sand is the secret behind the ability, it must be present during the process of returning said force back to the user. (Reiatsu only). The energy/force retained must be used within 3 minutes(or 3 posts). This ability can only be used to divert reiatsu attacks 10 times in shikai and 20 times in bankai. More than one attack can be consumed{Won't count against max amount} if used in immediate succession of each other, (if person was spamming reiatsu based attacks or melee. After 10 times, it takes a 2 post cool-down before the ability can be used again.
Bankai
Bankai name: Furui Joufu Tenshu
Bankai description: Upon activation, the knucklers disappear from view only to return as falcata in the the hands of Roddo. But even this doesn't mean much because he can will then to turn into sand at will. (Click here!)
When the zans are first formed they begin to rust at a very very accelerated rate, soon turning entirely into red-colored dust/sand. This transformation can easily turn the area around him of about a 1000 yard radius into a dessert upon release, the sand holds the same properties as it previously did in his shikai form. Roddo's clothes basically become non-existent, he dons an all red overcoat seemingly made of leather that hangs down to his ankles. The coat is tattered; filled with holes and shreds of material all over the place. His coat is complimented by a raggedy pair of jean shorts and combat boots, stylish right?! XD
One would think that in such a state of power that his defense prowess would be somewhat evident, well it's there .. you just can't see it. Just like in his previous form, there is a barrier of sand that covers his whole being that takes on the appearance of his skin, clothes, and other extremities. The only way to really see it is to damage it, even then it would only be brief because it can be replaced by the surrounding sands. The difference this time is; the barrier is about two inches thick and as hard as a zan ... but obviously able to break easier than a zanpakuto would. If one were to hit him with a sword or metallic object it would sound as though it collided with another solid piece of metal. A simple stab or a slice wouldn't be able to penetrate said armor and with it's special properties; one would have to make sure to make the hits that do penetrate ... count. The initial durability of the armor is that of a level 50 kidou, but each time it reforms it jumps 10 more levels by absorbing the force and adding it to it's defensive strength.
In this form, the sand can be freely and fully manipulated by his mind with bare minimum effort. From an abrasive wind that simply corrodes a target, to a concentrated, rapidly moving band that can slice just like a razor, to anything in-between. Just like in his zan's first release; he can form objects from the sand but this time on a much greater scale and anything his mind could think of. Of course, it still uses the 'decay' feature, this time even more powerful than before. Whatever comes into contact with Roddo’s transformed arms/hands/ligaments/hair/clothes and any other un-named extremities will slowly lose its life force/ spirit energy and decay (if it is an inanimate object or plant). For example if he were to touch his hand against a wall the wood would slowly turn black, and crumble to ash and then to nothingness.
Once touched there is no reserving it. However, this decay will not spread throughout an object unless continual contact is made. If a person is touched by his hands or arms, the point of contact will start to rot, turn black and contract boils (1st post). If the contact is continued the person pain will double, their skin disappearing at the point of contact (2nd). If it is held even longer, the muscles in that particular area will surely began to decay and shut down, the person losing use of said area/limb. The boils remain after the initial contact and irritation will continue until they are cured, however the boils will not progress past that stage unless further contact is made. Slight burns are made on initial contact as well but while they are extremely painful (Decaying skin can't possible feel good) the initial sting slowly fades away if contact isn't continually made. Obviously if you happen to stay in contact with him and contract gang green or any other major injury you'll have to seek immediate medical attention. The power of his previous abilities in shikai have also increased.
Abilities/techniques:
- Spoiler:
- Name: "Furui Genkou" (Ancient Copy)
Type: (Active)
Effect: With this ability, using the dust Roddo can form an embodiment of previous fighters in which he defeated. If no other fighters were defeated he can form copies of himself from the sand, each figure can withstand 10 hits from any certain attack. Upon impact the attacks burst through as through knocking through a sand castle and the damaged area reforms immediately. The strength of these beings depend on the amount of sand, how many things have been decayed previously and how much reiatsu was used to form them. When attacking, a punch would be like a punch from Roddo and if a weapon is present it would be like any other zanpakuto damage. Considering the amount of sand present from his bankai, these entities form almost instantly and only use a slight amount of reiatsu.
Weakness: Roddo can only create 1 copy of himself that keeps the same skill set as him, anything passed that and the clones lose 1 rank in each skill for every clone afterward. Max of 3
- Spoiler:
- Name: "Kindachi Hozon" (Kings Preservation)
Type: (Active)
Effect: This ability is a mastered version of 'Onzon', throughout the decaying sands are hidden strands of material. It could be from any inanimate objects or spiritual beings, once initiated these things can be formed in mummy wrap and freely manipulated by Roddo's mind to not only use on himself but to restrain him opponents as well. These wraps are very difficult to break even by a zanpakuto wielded by an equal lvl opponent, making it nearly impossible by those in which a gap of power is present. These bands also heal faster than the previous ones, and provide better protection when used on himself.
Weakness: Each post used to restrain an opponent costs 1 exhaustion point.
- Spoiler:
- Name: "Yuukou" (Companionship)
Type: (Active)
Effect: Upon activation, the remnants of the sand that flows in the surroundings area combines together to form a giant form of Furui Joufu complete with her weapon. The abilities/movements/skills of this said giant are 1 rank higher than that of Roddo, but works as a separate entity. Roddo can mentally control it, but it can efficiently attack and defend on its own accord. Due to it's composition, it is very difficult to completely rid him of this ability ... it would take 15 hits of a powerful technique to completely rid Yuukou of use. Since Yuukou works on it's own entity instead of relying on Roddo, it uses it's own reiatsu pool to attack and maintain it's form.
Weakness: The embodiment of Furui forms quite quickly but also takes a 5th of Roddo's current reiatsu to form, thus restricting how many times he uses it. It's pool depends on how much reiatsu/objects have been absorbed/decayed during the battle in which Roddo uses this ability, with that said reiatsu/reishi based attacks are effective but allow Yuukou to maintain it's form longer. (Meaning if you hit it 5 times with a kidou or some time of energy attack, instead of it lasting 15 hits, it can last 20)
Note: Every other strike that is landed upon Furui affects Roddo the same way it would affect her in regards to dmg

Re: Ptolemaios, Roddo [11th Division Taicho]
Backstory is fine, if you worried about that [mask part?], BUT leave it as it is right now - don't follow that idea until you get the green light for it.
Your abilities seem fine, but:
If the beast is stronger than your character then there needs to be a bigger draw-back.
Add self-harm [does not have to mean the loss of a limb].
If your character controls the beast with the mind then... you should add at least one mind part. It's no big illusion, but it is brain-work.
Otherwise he might lose control over that beast and be the one who gets eaten.
Everything else looks really good. ^^
