"Criminals, swindlers, low lives, petty rulebreakers, it makes no difference. For no matter how much they struggle, no matter how much they try to convince themselves, before me, they are powerless. When they see my eyes, they can hide no longer." QUINCY APPLICATION Name: Bastien Ulbrecht Alias: Ba'ast Real Age: 28 Phys. Age: 28 Gender: Male Personality: As a man who follows the principles of nihilism, Bastien doesn't believe that life has any meaning unto itself, lacking any intrinsic purpose. He holds that while some people might be remembered past their death, those who are not will merely fade into oblivion, passing on and then being doomed to live their afterlives in the rukon districts of Soul Society. To Bastien, being ordinary is not just a sign of weakness, but also of conviction - the world has no meaning, love has no meaning and even power has no meaning beyond what you might use it for. He holds that Humanity, Shinigami and Hollow alike are all ultimately insignificant, like ants attempting to build colonies, for as with anything else, something bigger might come along to trample it all to pieces. Even heinous acts such as murder, and torture seem insignificant to Bastien, and he posits that it is just the world running its course. None of these actions are inherently evil, for evil is a mindset thats been conjured by people of no significance, as -all- beings, living or dead are or were insignificant in their time. Friendship is comforting however, but comfort too is without value to him. Feelings of love and hatred however are different, for they can force a meaning in a meaningless existence. Anyone who have achieved that, to forge a meaning of their own in a worthless world such as theirs deserves recognition in his eyes. While he might come off as affable, this is largely a front, because Bastien’s beliefs and ideals have shaped him into a sociopath who kills as he pleases, justifying any death by him as having saved them from the pain of existence. In his eyes, the truest moment is a person’s own death, and so he kills to witness that moment, even as he makes it happen in the most creative and gruesome ways imaginable. His victims never pass on peacefully, for Bastien believes that a gentle reprieve lacks drama, which he considers essential to a worthy death. So deranged is he in his beliefs that he is even resorted to calling killing his art at more than one occasion, with each murder a performance unto itself. The wise learn to avoid contact with Bastien, for there’s no room for sympathy or acceptance of life within his heart, and so-called ’’friends’’ are among the first to find themselves on the chopping block, with Bastien adoring to kill his friends for the sake of the added drama of betrayal. Such murders are his own personal masterpieces, and he frequently boasts about these kinds of accomplishments. Until he is dead and gone, Bastien is certain to continue killing indiscriminately, civilian or soldier, man or woman, adult or child. It matters not, as long as he can make their demise a spectacle to behold CHARACTER APPEARANCE Height: 5' 11 / 180cm Weight: 180lbs / 82kg Physical Traits: Bastien is a tall, well-built man with raven colored hair and grey eyes. He always wears a pair of silver thin-framed glasses and a calm apathetic expression. He always dresses in a professional suit and tie, paired with a white trenchcoat, sporting a blue stylized inverted pentagram on the back. BACK-DROP History: Much of Bastien's history is unknown to the world, he was born of Germanic and Japanese descent in Argentina. His great-great grandfather, Adolf Eichman was said to be a man of infamy, and faked his death to claim a power that he had obtained by coming into contact with a spearhead. Not much more information was given to Bastien about his life. The real history lesson stems from Adolf Eichman's daughter, Silvia who had profound special abilities, and was renowned throughout the small villages in Argentina as the silver goddess, she was well known for her kind hearted, and gentle demeanor, to which she would be wed to a Japanese descendant by the name of Mizuki. The two would bear a son, by the name of Ulrich who would move to America, and become Bastien's father and mentor for his quincy abilities. THE COMBAT INFORMATION General Fighting Style: Bastien prefers to fight at a mid to long range distance, and settle close proximity through speech and mental prowess. Strengths: Weaponsmastery, Reiatsu Perception, Ransōtengai Weaknesses: Strength, Durability, Hand-to-Hand Combat Ability Name: Höllenfeuer (地獄の火, Jigoku no Hi; German for "Hell Fire", Japanese for "Flame of the Underworld") Ability Description: A bastardized varient of the Quincy technique called Heilig Feuer(神聖炎 (ハイリッヒ・ファイア), Hairihhi Faia; German for "Holy Fire", Japanese for "Sacred Destruction Flames"), reinvented by Bastien, the user gathers reishi around them and ignites it. This fire is intense enough to burn even the rocks and sand of Hueco Mundo. Bastien also uses it as a method of escape in some instances, using it as a distraction. The name itself is derived from Bastien's black and purple reiatsu, as it generates black flames capable of rendering even spirit constructs asunder. This spell cannot be manipulated. The damage from this spell has a similar output to that of a Hado #33, and the flames can be turned off at will, or prolonged through the use of reserve reiryoku WEAPONS & ABILITIES Quincy Bow: Bastien's Heilig Bogen takes the form of a quad-limbed crossbow that stems from his left wrist. Comprised of black reiatsu, Bastien's bow stands in stark contrast to other Quincy's, and has been dubbed the Verflucht Bogen, or Cursed Arc. Quincy Powers: Ransōtengai, Hirenkyaku, Letzt Stil, Blut Vene Quincy Items: Leidan Hant: Donnerbüchse: Taking the form as a over-and-under single-action pistol, fabricated from one of Bastien's blueprints. He had this weapon commissioned from a private firearms manufacturer which would use Kintō capsules as ammunition. (Limited to 2 uses per thread.) Bastien uses this gun as his hold-out weapon when in a pinch, and would've have the time to manifest his bow and draw an arrow. Kintō: A derivative of Gintō, as their name suggests, Kintō are small golden tubes, approximately 8 centimeters in size. In the case of Bastien, he has had a gunsmith fashion a firearm, that is capable of loading these specialized canisters of pure liquid reiryoku. When fired, this ammunition takes the power of the user's reiryoku in the form of a bolt of light that when striking it’s target, instantly gouges and purges the reishi bonds of said subject generating a devastating blow and cavity into said subject/object. Each round singularly is worth the damage equivalent to that of a Gran Rey Cero, and are armor piercing in nature. (3 post cooldown in between shots).
