[ APPEARANCE: ]
- Spoiler:
Acacia is about 5'5, with long black hair that appears to have a blue sheen in the sun. Her skin is beautifully translucent and fragile looking. She prefers black, to the white that normal Arrancar wear ans has designed her clothes with stars. Her clothing itself is simply a black bikini top and shorts, with the occasional black jacket thrown on top. She wears knee high black boots, that sport a small heel at the bottoms. She has two scars, one on her lower stomach and one higher up, over her ribs.
(After edit: I forgot to mention her bone fragment. My bad.)
Her bone fragment isn't always visible, seeing as it is only visible when her shorts are off (XD). Her bone fragments consist of three small, circular like buds that follow her hip bone line. (They look like peircings.) About .5 mm in size.
Her Hollow hole is located on her left foot, and can't be seen unless she goes bare foot, which is rare.
[ DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS: ]
• • Cold Demeanor, Black clothing, instead of the usual white, left eye has a blue glow to it when she is holding her sword.
[ SPECIALTIES: ]
• • Cleaning, Observation.
[ PERSONALITY: ]
• • Almost always silent, standing away from the crowd. So full of hate, but her indifferent mask hold it in. Always watching, observing your every move. She stands alone, but the strings of time tie her to those around her. She always watches the same person, watching her, and watching out for her. A cheek rests against the girls hair, her arm thrown over her shoulder, watching those around her with cold, dangerous light blue eyes. Eyes that warn them away, warn them that she is hers, and if you hurt her, touch her in anyway, you’ll die.
Only for a few do her eyes grow soft, and only for two does she really smile, really laugh. She’s not interested in politics, the pointless fighting amongst themselves. She doesn’t care for the numbers, the ranks, the respect she is supposed to have for those “above her”, for those who are “stronger” then her.
Time passes her by within the blink of an eye, and through it she treads though the waters of time, threatening to overturn her, and drown her until she loses her last breath. Always keeping a safe distance from those around her, always on guard.
She spills blood, and doesn’t even blink, doesn’t react. She’s cut, beaten, abused. She refuses to bend.
When the hate , the rage, the distain is too much for her to cover, too much for her to contain anymore by herself, she looks for the comforting arms of one close to her.. A calming effect really, like the touch of cold water on a burn.
She gets scared, like a child. She reaches out and grabs his hand, holding on as if it is her only life line. Where maybe it is. She tends to close her eyes when she is scared, to make it look like she’s ignoring someone. She hates to show her weakness, her vulnerability.
[ FIGHTING TYPE: ]
• • Well-Rounded: These fighters are okay in the use of their weapon, in hand-to-hand combat, kidou, cero, flash step/sonido/hirenkyaku, and any of other race abilities that are given to them. They're not great, they're not bad, they're just efficient in several areas.

[ HISTORY: ]
• •The world around her was hot as fire, but the woman was cold as ice. The baby inside of her was slowly suffocating, she could feel it’s feeble struggles, it’s efforts to keep it’s life.
"GET IT OUT!" She screamed, thinking only of the child.
The shamans eyes were sad as she raised the sharp bone knife, and quickly brought it down on the woman’s extending stomach. Each cut felt cold to the dying woman, her body already numb. So close to her was Death’s upraised wings, she could practically feel them on her cheeks, caressing her gently.
Though the ringing in her ears, she heard the distant crying of a child and the words "It’s a girl.." made it through to her fading mind. She blinked slowly, her only thought was of a flower.
”A..ca…ci..a…" She whispered quietly, her heart finally stopping it’s frantic thumping.
She closed her eyes, and peacefully died.
The shaman sighed.
* * *
"Worthless whore!" her father raged, his hand slamming into her cheek, snapping her head to one side.
Acacia felt tears in her eyes, a reaction to the pain. But she didn’t move, didn’t fight back. Eventually her father would tire, and leave her alone.
She sensed, rather then saw him throw the punch, she felt it connect with her nose, splattering blood and sending her flying.
She hit the wall and slid down it, her vision covered with red dots.
Ow…
A solid kick landed in her stomach and she gagged. She felt each blow land, hard and fast. But even as tears rolled down her thin cheeks she never uttered a word.
Soon enough, her father walked away panting. Acacia merely layed there, her body throbbing with pain.
One word came to her mind, one question.
Why?
* * *
Acacia absently smoothed the cool stark white cloth against herself, her hands slick with sweat. Her mind was racing back and forth, her hopes apparent on her face.
Arranged marriages, though rare, where not an unheard of part of life for her People, and now… it was Acacia’s turn.
Her father stared at her coldly, still, after all these years he hadn’t forgiven her for killing her mother with she came into the world.
It was obvious that the man felt nothing like love for his "daughter", only scorn.
He hadn’t told her who he had chosen for her, and Acacia had a crawling feeling in her stomach.
Nerves.
She was nervous.
She could only hope… no pray that the hate he felt for her wouldn’t reflect onto his choice.
Finally, a hard knock sounded on their door.
Acacia froze, staring at the floor in front of her.
She heard her father growl and he muscled his way past her to the door, opening it. "Thanks for talking her off my hands, the worthless whore is just standing there. Come and take her.”
"Now, now Signor." A gentle voice said soothingly, "Such language is unnecessary."
Acacia turned and laid her eyes on a tall, very attractive man. His hair was as dark as night, but his eyes like emeralds.
She heard herself gasp, and the man grinned. Acacia quickly averted her eyes, her face burning.
"Whatever." Her father yawned, suddenly his rough hand was on Acacia’s forearm, squeezing painfully.
Acacia whinced as he shoved her at the man, who caught her gently.
"Get out of my sight, girl." Her father spat, turning away.
Acacia turned to leave, but paused. She turned back to look at her father, and swallowed nervously. "… Thank you for caring for me for the past thirteen years… I… appreciate it. Goodbye… Father." She closed her eyes and turned away, walking out of her… home.
* * *
She entered her husbands…
…That was odd to think about…
…Husband.
Hmm.
She entered her husbands house, a four day journey from her own.
As they entered, the man suddenly became quiet, which Acacia found odd considering the entire trip he had talked non-stop.
She swallowed slightly, "…Is something wrong?"
He turned to her, studying her silently.
Acacia felt a chill run down her spine, then noticed why.
His eyes.
Once so warm, now regarded her emotionlessly.
Acacia’s eyes widened and she took a step back.
His hand whipped out and caught her wrist, yanking her to stand against him.
"Where do you think you’re going…?" he whispered, his smile cold has he held her against him, her back to him.
"S-stop!"
He bit her neck, hard enough to draw blood. Acacia cried out as she felt the wound throb.
He chuckled, "Stop? Why should I? You’re mine now, I own you and can do with you as I please."
Acacia struggled, but his hand was suddenly pinning hers behind her back. She whimpered and he chuckled again.
"What was your name again…? Oh, right. Acacia was it not?" He grinned as he whispered this into her ear, tilting her head back.
"Y-yes!" Acacia squeaked.
"Well, my little flower. I plan on ‘de’-flowering you now, and your father said I can do it however I like, as rough as I like, aha!" He crowed happily, "Just my luck~ To find such a pretty girl with a father who doesn’t care for her~ Lucky, lucky me~!" He let go of her hands and spun her around, grasping the collor of her dress. "From now on…" He suddenly yanked, ripping the material from her petite body, "You are not to wear clothing."
Acacia cried out and tried to cover herself with her hands.
The mans hand whipped out and slapped her across the face again.
"Don’t even try that." He growled, shoving her.
Acacia felt herself fall backwards, her back and head crashing into a wooden table behind her, and cried out as her vision blurred, the air knocked from her lungs.
The man stood over her as she gasped for oxygen. He slowly unclothes himself, tossing his tunic to the side.
Acacia panted, the oxygen slowly making its way back into her lungs. She pushed herself off the table and tried to run past him, He simply stuck out arms and grabbed her again, pulling her against him.
As he went to lift Acacia her eyes closed, her body throbbing as she started to cry.
Heaven help her.
* * *
After a long time, her pushed her away. She landed heavily, in a heap on the floor. She simply layed there and bled.
After a moment, she looked up to find him standing over her, and as she heard his grunt she closed her eyes.
Something hot as fire landed on her face and she laid still.
He walked away, whistling.
* * *
Many months passed her by, but they all felt the same. Ever so slowly the tears stopped coming, and a numbness settled over her. So heavy, that even the lights in her eyes died.
Acacia became a living corpse.
And her husband noticed.
During dinner one night, he simply stared at her as she mechanically ate her small portion of food.
Suddenly, a bone knife buried itself in her hand.
Acacia blinked, watching the crimson liquid spill around the white blade, staining it.
Her husband stood up and practically charged her. "YOU BITCH!" He yanked the knife out from her flesh, his eyes crazed. "You went and buried yourself away!" He shoved her then, chair and all.
Acacia fell, but still felt nothing. She laid there blood rushing from her hand as she stared at the ceiling, eyes blank and void of emotion.
He glared down at her, "You’re worthless to me now," He raised the knife above his head.
He stared down at her, and then sighed contently as he brought the blade down.
Acacia closed her eyes and felt the knife slice into her flesh. Over and over again as blood poured from her lips as it entered her lungs.
Soon, he stood and grasped her hair, the knife pressed against her throat.
Finally...
One hard jerk and Acacia was finally free as the crimson liquid pours out of the gaping hole. He dropped her to the floor and she lay there, watching the blood spread around her.
She smiled as her eyes closed, and Death finally picked her up into his arms.
* * *
The girl was running.
From what, she didn’t know.
Dark shapes of all sizes chased her.
She cried out for help.
Suddenly, a hard pain flashed through her.
A white substance poured from her eyes, mouth, ears and nose, covering her completely as she screamed.
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry… Always hungry.
One hard black hand whipped out into the hot sand beneath her, pulling out a snake-like creature.
She shrugged, it was good enough.
She ate it whole, and then paused.
Still hungry…
She moved on.
* * *
She could speak, but chose not to.
Others passed her by, and those who picked a fight she simply consumed.
It was all such a bother.
She slowly took note that having once towered over others, her form was progressively getting smaller.
Odd.
* * *
”Wait!” Another creature yelled after her as she walked around him, having no desire to fight. Against her better judgment she paused and turned her head.
The being caught up with her in a couple steps, and then studied her for a moment. ”Can you talk?”
”…I can speak…” She said softly.
”What’s your name?” He asked.
”I don’t have one.” She glared slightly; finding the questions this…creature was asking her odd.
He tilted his head at her, ”Almost all of us Hollows have some sort of name.. Oh, is it just that you never thought one up for yourself?”
She growled shortly, her long claws curling at him, ”Why do you insist on asking me these stupid questions?!”
He raised his hands, ”I don’t want to fight.”
She lowered her hands and opened her mouth to speak.
The sand behind her suddenly exploded and she was sent flying. She felt the air around her ripple as she flew through it, and then flipped her body to land on her feet, using her claws to dig traction into the sand so she slowly stopped.
Looking up, she came face to face with a centipede-like … Hollow?
”Puny Hollows.” It echoed. ”Dinner.”
Goddammit.
* * *
She bit down swiftly into the Hollows meaty stomach, chewing quietly. All the while, the other stood behind her, simply watching.
She cleared her throat and turned her head to look at him, ”…Are you going to eat any?” His eyes widened. ”I’m allowed?”
She growled, ”Well I can’t finish it all by myself!” She turned away, glaring at the gaping hole in the Hollows stomach that she had created with her teeth.
She heard a soft chuckle, soon followed by the sounds of eating.
She resumed.
* * *
They started to wander again, but this time they weren’t alone. Hardly the best company, Acacia kept silent. But to her pleasure, as did he.
”…Do you want a name?” He asked one night as they shared a small cave almost completely buried in the sand.
She looked at him, ”…Name..?” She whispered, curling her claws slightly.
”..Acai. That’s what I want to call you.” He murmured, making circles in the sand beneath him with one long white finger.
”..Acai..” She breathed. She felt a familiar tone in the name, but at the same time something was missing completely. ”..That sounds fine..” She closed her eyes as she turned away, ready to sleep.
She heard a chuckle.
”Nice to finally meet you then, Acai.”
* * *
One dark night, they were sleeping together as always, and another of their kind smelled them.
Suddenly the night turned red.
* * *
Acai dragged herself over to the unmoving figure of her friend, lying motionless in the white sand. She hovered over him, eying the missing portions of his lower abdomen… The absence of his legs. She raised her hand slightly, and shook his cold shoulder.
”Please open your eyes! PLEASE!” She cried softly, an odd itching behind her eyes.
His eyes opened slowly and he smiled at her. ”Acai…”
”Y-you’re going to be fine!” She swore, though she could tell it was an empty promise. No one could survive these wounds.
”Don’t lie to me Acai, I know.” His voice had finality to it and Acai was shocked to find liquid pouring from her eyes, over her hard white mask.
She raised her hands and touched it, and stared at the clear substance, ”W-wha..?”
He smiled, ”You’re crying for me. Acai… are you sad?”
She blinked at him, not getting it. ”W-what?”
He sighed, smiling slightly. ”Acai… if you are so sad…can you do me a favor?”
Acai nodded.
”Eat me. Take my power.” He smiled at her shocked expression, ”It’s what I want Acai, don’t fret over it.”
Acai stared at him, then lowered her gaze. ”I want one thing.”
”What?”
”…What is your name?”
He grinned, ”Lithanthus.” He closed his eyes.
She bared her teeth.
* * *
She was alone again.
Acai tilted her head, then giggled.
Well, maybe not so alone.
* * *
Her fingers clawed at the hard mask covering her face. It itched, yet burned at the same time.
Finally, her razored nails found purchase and caught an upraised edge.
A tearing sound.
Harsh pain.
Acai screamed.
* * *
She woke up, confused.
Long black hair fanned out around her, trailing on the ground and covering her body.
Her white skin was hard, yet impossibly soft.
She stared at her hands in wonder.
”We thought we felt something.” A voice suddenly spoke from behind her, causing her to jump and whip around. ”What is your name young one?”
She tilted her head at the group of four, all dressed in white, sporting katana’s on their bodies.
One, a male, tossed her a soft white sheet. She grabbed it out of the air gracefully, wrapping it around her naked form.
”I said, what is your name?”
”Aca..cia. Acacia Encendido Estrella.” She whispered, then blinked.
Where did that name come from?
A female from the group came forward, holding her hand out in front of her.
”Come, Acacia.”
Acacia took the woman’s hand, who helped her stand. She blinked at a soft “thunk” sound from behind her and looked back.
In the sand, lay a katana. The hilt wrapped in bright blur cloth, a star guard designed onto it.
”You’ll want that.” The woman whispered in Acacia’s ear. Acacia turned her head to look at her, blinking.
”What a distant child…” Someone whispered.
Acacia reached down and grasped the hilt of the sword, and suddenly half the world glowed blue.
Gasps.
* * *
Searing pain in her side, she gasped.
”You’re good with a sword Acacia, but something is missing…”
A clang of metal, the whistling of air.
Pain again, this time over her ribs.
”Ahhh…I get it. It’s motivation.”
”Again!” Acacia hissed, lifting her sword.
”Very well.”
Clang..clang…clang..clang…clang..clang…clang..clang…clang..clang…clang..
Pain, gasp.
”Ow.”
* * *
Acacia stood to the side, watching passersby.
She yawned.
She saw him notice her, and he frowned.
"C'mon bitch, we have shit to do."
"Yes, Souta-sama."
She frowned, and followed behind him.
Feh.. [ RP SAMPLE: ] • •
- Spoiler:
Ayaka laughed as she swung Tamashii no Nusubito, her scythe rippling though the air as if it was weightless. She grinned as her guards backed up out of it’s way. They gave her a wary look so she dropped into a defensive pose.
”C’mon you cowards! We’re supposed to be sparing not scurrying like rats!” She growled angrily.
The guards sighed then rushed her, each carrying their weapon of chose.
Too easy.
She jumped into the air, planting her foot on one guards shoulder she leapt towards the one behind him, her scythe already moving in a blur. The blunt end slammed into the side of his head, and he dropped like a stone. She whirled as one ran at her from behind, his gun pointed at her. She moved to the side and dropped to one knee as he neared, her hand whipping up to clench the gun, thrusting it upwards and then to the side, the guard dropped it immediately, otherwise her force would have broken his wrist. Her momentum brought her lower body up and her foot slammed into his jaw, knocking his backwards.
She growled again, one guard trying to grab her from behind, and she merely let go of Tamashii and flipping backwards, her hand on the guards shoulders. Her weight carried her up and over as she dropped behind him, catching Tamashii no Nusubito effortlessly as she grinned. The guard whirled just as she high kicked, her foot connecting violently with the underside of his jaw. She felt a crack and swore, she hadn’t meant to hit that hard.
The man dropped, groaning in pain even as he was unconscious. She sighed, giving a silent apology before she felt strong arms wrap around her torso, and bring her into the arm. She smiled, forcibly bringing her legs up and pushing hard into the wall the guard was trying to pin her too, the man stumbled, off balance as Ayaka’s added weight caused him to trip, throwing them both backwards. Ayaka went with the momentum, and as he hit the ground beneath her she continued, rolling over him, then as her feet touched ground she leapt up, a bright smile on her face as the guard laid there for a minute, stunned.
She leaned over him, ”You okay?”
He groaned and sat up, ”Yes Ma’am.”
Ayaka grinned warmly, ”I’m glad. Now, don’t come at me with obvious movements this time! Try something unexpected!!”
The man stood up, ”Acknowledged.”
Just as he took a step forwards an alarm went off, singling the end of her training period. Ayaka snarled, muttering swears under her breath as she straightened, walking towards the sliding metal doors, which opened as she stepped in range of the sensor.
”Well today was a bust…I’m barely winded! She muttered as she stalked down the winding hallways of the Vongola branch. She needed stronger guards. She dimly wondered if any of the other Ring Bearer’s would fight her. She seriously doubted it, they were all busy. She sighed exasperatedly as she neared her room. The thumb scanner read her print as she pressed her finger into its screen, the doors swinging open almost immediately. She leaned against the door, hugging Tamashii to her chest.
What a boring day.
She leaned Tamashii gently against the wall and walked over to her bed, shrouded in black veils hanging from the roof. She grabbed a book and jumped onto the soft bedding, peering at the pages. This was one of hers, it was still not published, as she saw no reason to do so. She didn’t need the recognition or the money. She wrote for the sake of writing, fame never appealed her her. She quickly read through the familiar words, already burned into her memory.
A man stood with his back to her, a sword in his hand. The swords blade was dripping blood. And around the man...was the corpses of her family...Kaede gasped, stumbling backwards as her fathers disembodied head looked into her eyes with lifeless horror. Tears leaked from her eyes as she saw her brothers small frame laying on the cold floor with a puddle of blood around it. The man slowly turned towards her, a sick grin on his face. 'Welcome to hell Milady...want something to drink?' He lifted his hand, and clenched in his fist was a clump of blonde hair...her brothers head hung from his bloodied hand, blood dripping from the bottom, where the mans blade had cut it clean off.
She stared in horror into her brothers lifeless eyes, a scream caught in her throat as she scrambled away from the man. He smirked, throwing her brothers head head to the side with a spray of blood, then started to approach her. Her mouth opened, 'S-stay away!' she screamed at him, tucking her head under her arms and cringing away from him. He reached out anyway, grasping the top of her arm and jerking her roughly to her feet. Kaede stumbled as she sought to find her footing, bumping into the man. He growled and pushed her forwards, only then did Kaede realize her home was a flame.
The fire was eating though the walls and ceiling, sending ashes into the dark sky above. She stopped at the door as the man continued to push her forwards. Her hands slapped onto the walls, her fingers digging into the walls crumbling material, stopping herself. The mans hand smacked the side of her head sharply, the glove on his hand cutting her. She stood there for a moment, blood dripping from the side of her head.
The man kicked her hard in the spine and Kaede gasped, falling as the pain made her lose her grip on the frame. He stood over her, then kicked her sharply in the stomach. Her breath rushed from her lungs and she gasped for breath, curling her body defensively. 'B-bastard!' she spat on his boot. His foot winded back and rushed towards her face and Kaede reached out, catching the steel toed boot and sharply twisting i-
A knock on the door interrupted her mid word and Ayaka growled. ”Who is it?”
”It is me Ma’am.”
Her guard.
Ayaka sighed and got up from the bed, her guards were starting to get on her nerves.
But then again, this was better then the life she had left.
