Oda Ryōta [Approved, 1-1]

Name: Oda Ryōta
True Age: Two thousand  [However, always lies about his true age never saying it is over seven hundred.]
Gender: Male
Personality:
To truly describe the man at hand is a feat that a many would fail even to close to truly understand the depth and understanding that he has on the world… Oda seems at first glance to be just one of another of your pretty boy flirts that only cares about one thing, and one thing only getting into a woman’s pants and then finding the next “goddess” to conquer. However, truly he is a man of deep emotions and conflicting actions truly he is a mellow laid back man that truly at times does only care about getting laid here and there, but then again what man doesn’t act like such? So is it safe to say he truly is just another “pretty boy” and label him to the stereotype many would assume to say yes, but the answer is no he is a deep thinker trying always to treat a woman with respect and understanding. Treating them as the beautiful creatures he finds them to be. While, on the other hand, treating his own sex as though they are irrelevant pieces of cannon fodder truly only used for taking a few blows that he wouldn’t feel needed to take. Though there is one exception to this rule and that would be his twin Brother Constantine though they don’t look that much alike anymore when they were younger it was nearly impossible to tell the difference unless you truly knew them and look closely at their height for Oda has always been taller even though his brother is minutes older.

In addition, though that would be the most simplistic general overview of the man’s personality he is a rather lax person never truly looking for conflict, but rather to spend his days gazing in the eyes of a woman and trying to find a final understanding of them so that they could final get the respect and admiration they desire. Though in his lifetime it won’t happen most likely, so he spends most of his time falling into his own animal like instincts and lusting after his prey and most times they fall victim to his smooth tongue in more than one way and give in to his lustful desires. If there was one thing this man wished to change about his personality this would be it, however, he is slowly coming into terms with himself and being the mellow person he is always joking around and finding way to avoid the most complex solution to things he lives or at least attempts to a simple life of joy and adventure.

In closing, in the rare moments people do find Oda becoming serious it turns into a chaotic blood path, when he finally unleashes his serious side it means that the dawn of a crimson moon is arriving… True he never seeks violence to be the final answer if it is the only one presented within his path to greatness and prosperity he will not hesitate to take the life of anyone that stands in his way. Though this is a great asset in a sense it also makes it difficult for him to let himself get serious with anyone or anything in the fear that he would take someone precious to him out of his life. So once again as an overall person he is a laid back, mellow man that truly seeks only the simple and most beautiful luxuries of life but sometimes find himself resorting to the natural and not so natural abilities to protect his “queen”, home, or social standing that truly he doesn't care about other than with his espada brothers and sisters because he can’t afford to always seems the be a powerful being in the eyes of everyone.

(Side note: Also Sarcastic and usually always joking.)

Oda is portrayed as entirely self-interested and does whatever he likes as long as it pleases him in some way. He lusts for the thrill of killing powerful fighters in combat; likewise, he grows excited to meet any new people he deems worthy of fighting or anyone with potential to be a good fighter and entertain him in the future. However, he isn’t one to get off on this act, but rather simply enjoys a good battle and finds himself excited for knowing there are still many to come. Furthermore, he isn’t all about battle and seeking it but rather truly is mellow and sarcastic never targeting his village members out of a sense of respect but knowing that one day many of them could find themselves on his list if ever the circumstances fit. While he tends to be mellow, outgoing, nonchalant, and rather sarcastic with his friends or people he finds enjoyable to be around he would rather say he has a completely different side when it comes to outsiders of his clan and village.

In addition, Oda is or at the least, can be sociopathic.  While he does like people, he finds himself stating that, valuable one day could mean trash the next and could kill anyone with little to no reservation. He is completely self-centered and manipulative with all of these traits being indicative of sociopathic nature. He does not care for what has happened in the past as he is only interested in what could be amusing to him in the future or present. While Oda’s nature tends to be malevolent, he isn't an indiscriminate killer. While he has no problems killing anyone regardless of age or sex, he only kills people who are in his way or people he deems "worthy." As such, he is more simply amoral than flat out evil. He will even assist the people he deems “worthy” if there is "fun" in doing so or if it will make them stronger for a more entertaining fight in the future. Above all else, Oda cares only about having fun and a good challenge which may or may not involve killing people.

Unreleased Abilities:
Bala: A technique that fires hardened spiritual pressure. Less powerful than a Cero. [Three ranks below given rank]

Cero: A powerful spiritual light fired by Menos Grande and Arrancar. [One below given rank]

Gran Rey Cero: A very strong Cero. To perform this potent variation of the Cero, the Arrancar first draws blood from the Cero-generating appendage using their Zanpakutō, then charges the Cero while mixing the blood with it. The result is a Cero with a much greater attack power and speed. (Can be used once ever four post.)[Same as given rank]

Hierro: An Arrancar's outer skin with high spiritual hardness that serves as armor. [Same as given rank]

Pesquisa: An Arrancar's ability to measure and locate Reiatsu. [four below given rank]

Sonído: The Arrancar equivalent to a Shinigami's Shunpo. [Same as given rank]

Immense Spiritual Power: As one of the strongest Espada, Oda possesses tremendous spiritual power.His Reiatsu is White (Black once Post Release.)

Immense strength: Oda is incredibly strong, ranking 1st in the Espada in terms of physical strength. He can shatter rock and incapacitate skilled warriors with just his little finger.

Enhanced speed and reflexes: One of the pillars of his distinctive fighting style is his speed, matched with chirurgical, deadly accuracy. He can wipe out an army of hollow before they can press a button, and dodge or catch bullets-fast objects rather easily.

Enhanced agility: Oda is very agile, as he can attack from every position.

Immense pain resistance: Oda is almost impervious to pain, which seems to bring him pleasure when very intense. He can take having his arms cut off, one after the other, as if it were nothing. Though blows still damage him, they can't slow him down or incapacitate him.

Astounding coordination: His coordination may be considered the core of both of his offensive and defensive power. Thanks to it, he can adapt to any fighting style he faces and avoid most of the threats he may encounter. He is able to grab knive out of the air or catch a reiatsu reinforced ball with the destructive capacity of a cannon ball. He is an unrivaled master in the usage of cards as edge weapons. Using reiatsu enhanced poker cards as his primary weapon, he throws them with ease and deadly accuracy. When he combines the use of his playing cards with the use of his zanpakutō ability, they becomes an even deadlier weapon.

Excellent strategist: Oda is very observant and able to guess the amount of strength a person possess, their talent and even future heights by simply looking at them. He invented a scale that measures the target's abilities, possibly reaching 100 as the top score. Who owns the rank of 100, or if it can be maxed out or even what Oda’s rank is unknown. Oda can often tell what an opponent is thinking and how he will react at his moves.  His instincts and insight are of a genius level. Futhermore, combining his twisted genius with his prestigious skills, Oda can set very elaborate and effective traps, often using it to conceal his attacks. His tricks usually don't get discovered until after they are already in use. Summed up, what makes Oda such a dangerous opponent is his unpredictability.

Proficient in hand-to-hand combat: Though he doesn't show it too often, he is very skilled in unarmed combat, despite lacking any literacy in martial artistry. What makes him so deadly is the perfect combination of his inhumane physical prowess coupled with his unpredictable fighting style.

Bungee Gum: Oda can alter his aura's consistency into an incredibly sticky substance somewhat akin to bubble gum, albeit much stronger. It can be used to pull opponents within punching range for a flurry of rebound pummels. Bungee Gum can both stretch and contract, depending on what Oda desires. It can be attached either by pointing at his target or through direct physical contact. Additionally, Bungee Gum can also be used to cover a greater area by molding it into a sheet rather than a string. It is so reliable and durable that it can act as a shield against attacks or as a means to return them to their original caster if of lower rank. When not attached to Oda’s body, Bungee Gum cannot stretch more than 10 meters.  He has shown the ability to alter his Bungee Gum´s shape and colour. He conceals Bungee Gum with clear reiatsu thus it cannot be seen unless his opponent uses a reiatsu sensing technique. However, even if the opponent uses that, it is still almost impossible to avoid, as Oda can simply attach Bungee Gum on his first while hitting his opponent.

Resurrección Name: medianoche (Midnight)
Resurrección Release Phrase: devorar el mundo
Resurrección Appearance:

Spoiler:

Resurrección Abilities:
Shadow Step: This ability lets Oda create shadow clones of him as he walks at a steady pace in any type of pattern. This also works while he is in the air or on the ground.  This happens from his shadow seeming to spring to life however, there can only be ten clones out at one time and they can only do minor things like simple kicks and punches other than that they are mere illusions. These clones disappear only after being hit. These clones are almost exact replicas of Oda so it is impossible to tell if they are really him or not unless you are standing right in front of them nose to nose.

Advanced Shadow Step: However, this ability has a second stage now that he has created whatever amount of clones that he chooses he can now solidify five of the clones that he created and control them as another entity however the clones cannot use any of the swords abilities they are also only at ¼ of Oda’s full power when it comes to attack power and speed.  These clones will disappear like when fighting a regular person after a kill shot has been given and they are all controlled in the same post. This means when he post he will be controlling all that are still alive and the ones he choose to keep alive. He can switch which are alive and just images at will however only five can be active at one time.  In short, this ability lets him control five extra people but they cannot use any of the abilities. In addition, upon training his ability he can now combine these said clones at least the five that can be active into one solid person so truly the clone can be at max if only one is active out of the five captain level.

Shadow travel- Oda can travel through and to any place that he has once visited (IC) through the means of walking through a shadow and basically exiting in a shadow in that previously visited area. However, there is a limit to how far he can travel and were he can travel. This unspoken rule being he cannot travel through dimensions meaning he has to be in that world to travel to a place his visited.

Bats: Although they flutter like bats, these constructs are actually made of tiny bladed structures, ready to slice and dice anything they collide with.  They can also whisper things, serving as apt messengers for things he can't be bothered telling people in person.

The Snake: While he can only form four snakes. In a pinch it can fire a cero from its mouth.  Much more importantly, if it strikes a foe, it does not inject poison, but shadow itself into their veins.  Any part of a person infected with the shadow becomes useless or, if he has enough of an advantage over them, under his control.  The shadow spreads at a slow but steady rate.  If it somehow reaches their heart, Oda could kill them or, if they were strong enough, render them unconscious.  It takes roughly three post for the poison to reach the heart from the upper extremities, closer to six post.  Destroying the snake or forcing Oda to dispel it immediately ends the effect.

The Wolf: The last and strongest of Oda’s Constructs. What is formed is a massive wolf, large enough for him to comfortably ride upon and certainly large enough to form a threat to her enemies, albeit at the cost of removing all of her shadow tricks.  Combat wise, it essentially is trading one extremely powerful opponent with a myriad of tricks up her sleeve, for two powerful opponents that fight more directly, albeit in tandem.  The wolf is also extremely quick on its feet as well as agile, able to easily climb vertical walls, while its "fur" shifts to accommodate the sitting Oda making it the optimal choice of mounts for travelling in luxury over longer distances.

(Meaning can’t go from Las Noches to say the Human world using this ability.)

Oda can manifest shadows.  Twist them, control them, and shape them to his will.  At a command, it can raise from the ground, twisting to strike at his opponent. He can raise these shadows from the ground as a defensive shield, or an unseen weapon.  She can also form several constructs from the shadows.  These constructs, when physically damaged enough, disappear.  

Disperse Dome- Upon entering his release form, his sword would seemingly evaporate and scatter across the battlefield and his eye path forming a make shift eye the now evaporated sword however forming a dome, covering a 100 meter radius. People in this darkness, who are not Oda, will have senses jumbled. Visibility is zero like being trapped in a coffin, and the ability to sense reiatsu is jammed as the darkness is but a physical manifestation of his reiatsu. One can sense reiatsu if their level is at least to Oda’s, but the task will be difficult and getting an exact location will be impossible. Someone could get a feel for the general area that their desired target is in, however, a pinpoint location isn't possible. Those lower than him won't have a prayer to sense out reiatsu.

Shadow’s Movement- While in his release state Oda gains the ability to seem like a shadow, his movements, breathing, and attacks all seemingly none existent in the sense of how much sound they produce. While in this state he is like stated above a shadow moving in complete silence only being able to be heard through his voice and even that becomes and echoing sounds that seems to be coming from everywhere yet nowhere making it nearly impossible to pin point an exact location.

Golem - The greatest construct available to Oda in any of his forms, the Golem is some forty feet tall. He also must reside inside of the Golem, using his on reiatsu to power it.  The golem is practically indestructible, possessing Oda's hierro as well as being more durable then his release form.  It can also fire Gran Rey Ceros, using his power.  However, it is slow and cumbersome, useful more for destruction then actual combat.

Take Heart - Oda in this form can steal someone's very shadow, as long as they are no longer able to actively fight him (Meaning if he finds them sleeping or knocked out or in any state they cannot fight.).  Ripping their shadow from them, he keeps it in the form of a chain of black beads around his waist.  In his sealed state, they appear instead as a chain with small paper doll shapes that are instead made of an onyx like material.  By touching any possessed shadow he has, he may spy on the person, or speak into their mind.  Consequently, he can infiltrate and influence their dreams.  While the effects of losing one's shadow are incidental at most on officers, it's not unheard of for those lower then lt. Level to fall into a coma.  Detection of the malady can be hard to treat, as everyone who sees the afflicted perceives their shadow as still being perfectly normal.  Destruction of the charm returns one's shadow to them and ends the effect.

Shade Eater - Oda's body, being practically made of living shadow in this form, can be healed by using his eating shadows of object that have at least a seated officers reiatsu level. However, the stronger the persons shadow the more wounds that are healed.





Character Background:

There was nothing but emptiness and darkness that felt the soul of a monster called Oda Ryōta. His death was many years ago on his eighteenth birthday coming home from a party his friend had thrown him to honor him becoming a “man”, but nothing happened that day other than Oda disappearing from the earth. However, Oda did not care for the past but only the present as for his demise he could see it rather clearly and his ignorance was what had ended putting him in the world of the hollows, however, perhaps it was for the best? The man was one of action and joked around not the so-called peace and tranquility he was raised to believe awaited him.

So with this he would wander around the hollow realm and develop his fighting skills and always using rather unique techniques of surprise to defeat and devour his prey. He was usually found like a cat always stalking his prey for days before he would finally find an opening acting like a shadow never seen or heard until it was rather late… He would swiftly rise through the ranks of hollows and would surprisingly only accidently become an arrancar during a fight where finally someone was able to hit him, and it shattered his mask minus two soul pieces. So with that his true potential would have been unlocked and the prey before him the poor soul that had to be the target of the beautiful new creator.

Therefore, he would travel the sands taking on anyone who got in his way always seeking the most powerful opponent he would find to further his abilities never settling for simple survival, but always to be the dominant opponent.  However, females in his eyes were the only prey ever to receive mercy but were dominated by another means that would later become one of his favorite hobbies. So the arrancar would wonder trying to find his place in the world until one day he could find a place to call his home rather than simply destroy yet another life form…

His journey long and rather interesting he would find himself attached to only two things from the past being  bungee gum and playing cards. He found ways to use these two things in nearly all his attacks. However, only being able to use playing cards later in his arrancar career.

Oda Ryōta would be born on September 22, with the breeze from the window blowing in brushing his mother’s hair aside from her face letting him come into this world with a warm, welcoming smile only to be dashed away by a man in white smacking his still moist ass. Though on this day he wouldn’t be the only one born but accompanied or rather following his older brother seeing as he was born minutes later to the shock of both the doctors and family for they only saw one child through the whole process of pregnancy. On the spot, his mother and father would start weeping with joy at the sight of their baby boys sitting in their arms gracing the seemingly dull world with the sound of two future gods to the world even their screams would sound like angles playing the most soothing sounds from birth.

However, the joy of Oda’s and Constantine’s birth would be short lived seeing as their mother would die the very next morning with cherry blossoms that had blown in from the window riddling her body making even her passing represent the beauty she graced this world with living up to her beauty even in death seemingly taking it with a peaceful grace with a smile on her face and her hair perfectly running down her shoulders. Though the boy wouldn’t be able to see his mother but for a slight moment when he first exited the womb it was as if by instinct he would start crying moments after the doctors would pronounce his mother dead as though the words traveled into the baby ward simple for him to realize he was truly his mother’s legacy now having to face the difficult to live up to her beauty even from birth. Though at first it seemed, his father would have suffered a great deal of stress from the passing of their mother, and it would as well be shorted lived for not shortly after he would find himself marrying his new love Patrica merely six months after the tragic incident. Therefore, they wouldn’t be raised by their biological mother but some woman who would truly turn out to be the most gold digging bitch to have ever ruined the first few years off at least his life.

Without a word spoken to anyone not even his brother, he would have been abused by his stepmother to the point of death until finally at the age of eight she would end up not only betraying the young boys trust and boundaries by finally taking off with his father’s fortune after she realized he was a prodigy blacksmith. She would ruin their life with a long line of scandals and sabotage always blaming it on the boys and their father before getting a divorce and leaving with one of the noblemen of the village leaving them in poverty and have nowhere else to turn.

Therefore, they would set sail from America to go and find a home else were known as japan. It was a small island country that would later on become his most favorite place in the world know as his home land. From the tender age of eight his father would become a bastard of a man turning his mind toward drinking and never finding work for long never being able to keep steady work soon his twin brother would die one night when his father would finally lose himself going on a drunken rampage and slaughter his brother never listening to his plea from assistance.

However, the younger twin would survive dealing with his father always sleeping more and more into his darkness and eventually becoming a shadow of the known world… However, upon reaching his thirteenth birthday Oda would find something that caught his attention and finally started to set him free from his despair this would be boxing. It would be found out that he was a prodigy adapting to every fighter with his great footwork as though moving around the ring as an after image never truly standing still unless he was delivery the wonderful technique that had been the foundation of his known success the counter punch. That is where is life would seem to be finally turning toward the acceptable; he had finally moved out of his father’s terrible home and was stable on his own finally making friends in school and paying for his life through his career as a boxer…

So after five years of living on his own and becoming a heavyweight champion of japan on his birthday him and his friends would celebrate his life success ironically with the one thing many people thought he despised, and that would be the devil’s beverage… liquor. As he and his friends would become, rather intoxicated Oda would finally realize that he was much like his father and would probably follow in his footsteps becoming a nobody. With that in his mind, he would drive at high speed wanting to simple disappear and become a shadow and on the final leg to arriving at his home he would have a head on collision with yet another drunk driver… However, unlike most souls his wouldn’t be one that could be saved for all the despair that had been in his life was on the mind at the time of death…

Therefore, when he awoke it wasn’t the promise land he was led to believe awaited him in the afterlife, but rather a seemingly desolate waste land that would be the house of most things evil… His new found home being Hueco Mundo. As he would wonder for decades without once finding anyone to interact with he would finally be confronted by another Gillian class menos, however, unlike a normal Gillian Oda would attack the group out of fear firing cero after cero at them and devour them left and right. His actions had brought it to his attention that he needed to eat seemingly other monsters to survive… For with ever hollow, he found himself injuring and then devouring he grew stronger.
For many centuries, the man would wonder around Hueco Mundo truly never finding companions but rather only targets seeing the world he was in as eat or be eaten when suddenly one day he would finally begin to evolve… It had seemed he was finally strong enough to overpower the other many souls he felt in the Gillian that he was. Thus, a new Adjuchas was born he would take on the shape of a jungle cat. With his new body unlike his own, he found it moved much swifter, and he became much more agile… However, with his new found size he would fear destruction and the ending of his very existence. Seeing as he had survived this much, he didn’t want to merely disappear but rather become a shadow and live on as something everyone feared yet didn’t recognize.

Therefore, this was what he would always become seeking for the highest tier of prey he could never find slowing down but rather never truly showing his face. His attacks would become spoken of around the lands as some of the swiftest and most destructive acts that people had seen. It was as though in instance groups of Adjuchas would be taken apart, and one would be taken to be devoured while he left the others scared. Never destroying their mask to leave them as examples of the mysterious shadows work.

As the years seemingly dragged on Oda would have gone through the desert having to master many different skills and techniques to become a hollow worthy of being spoken of his name now whispered among the strongest of the sand he would have evolved into a Vasto Lorde after a thousand years of devouring countless hollow. However, he is even uncertain as to how he would have finally regained a human-like form he did not questions for with this new found form also came the ability to control shadows seemingly, it was finally a reality the power he so greatly desired had finally becoming in his grasp. So for the next a thousand years he would test and mold this ability to his liking trying always to find new and creative ways to use it his favorite being known as Bungee gum named after his favorite gum from his childhood. Though he wasn’t a man that lived in the past for in the world he was reincarnated in it was live or die, never leaving a moment to truly even begin to wonder what his past was, however, perhaps this was for the best for even when his memories did start to return of his past and cloud his mind he was easily able to overcome it and still hold true to his new found goal of obtaining the ultimate power that was whispered throughout the sand… Becoming an Arrancar or better yet one of the feared Espada.

Therefore, Oda would seek out a person that was calling themselves by such a title and would find them standing in the desert walking north of his current position and would be astonished as the look that the person had taken… it was his brother that was spoken of as though to be a god among hollows. However, this would simply enrage Oda for he knew his brother’s soul should have been saved long ago. So he would spring forward and attack the look alike. However, he would be defeated in an embarrassing fashion by the man shattering his mask with a simple punch. His movement was fluid with no hesitation and a smirk would be seen through the shards of bone Oda saw in the air when suddenly a burst of power would be released from his and his new adventure as an arrancar would begin and the death of his brother would have been the establishment of himself being known as the Segunda Espada…

To Be Continued…

(More details, arcs, and filler will be added as released IC.)



Roleplay Sample:
It was yet another silent moon filled night as it seemed always to be night in the wonderful land of Las Noches, the white soft sand seemingly to be endless with the occasional dead black tree. No one truly knew why they were there but then again it seemed no one truly cared either way but this night would not be yet another standard night for the residents of Las Noches for chaos would soon erupt… As a gentle breeze would start to lift up the sand of the desert a mysterious man’s foot would appear seemingly squashing the beautiful image before it had a chance to come truly to life. The crunching of the soft sand underneath is foot would soon be known as a signal of disaster and death’s shadow once more showing it face to Las Noches’s plain white walls.

‘I am finally home once more, hopefully this time I prove strong enough to stand by her side…’

As a man’s solo amber eye would look upon his old home, he would smirk and let a slight chuckle escape from his cheeks. With a moment of silence to signal his return home he would begin walking once more he had spent many years out in the desert tracking down, killing, and devouring hollows to obtain the strength he felt was necessary to stand by Siren’s side, and he finally felt he had obtained it. Therefore, his stride toward the walls would be strong generating a wind that would blow up the raggedy cloth that covered his body exposing all black tattoo that was on his lower back, revealing the number three in a rather weird format.

Furthermore, in that same instant the man would seem to have disappeared landing on the other side of the Las Noches walls gently landing making sand bring upward as he would fall downward. As he would land into the walls, he would let off a burst of his reiatsu to signal his return, and he would slowly stroll through his old homeland wondering how much had changed in the past millennium. The raggedy cloth that hung from his head would have flown off finally exposing his full body and letting down his snow white hair that seemed to chaotically fall onto his face and shoulders, his black leather eye patch stringed over his right eye. A faint smirk could be seen if watching him from a distance as he would stroll toward the chambers of his majesty wanting to see her beautiful face as soon as possible….
