Nikilo Flamme Version II FINISHED

The experimenter of the group, Nikilo would much rather take and study hollows than kill them. Than again, he would rather study anything rather than fight it. Not against fighting, however, Nikilo will fight with surprising strength and skill when egged on. Seeing as Life is the only thing he can't affect, he wants whatever he is fighting to stay alive as long as possible. If it is dead, it's useless. Sure, he can still manipulate it to the full, but then it just becomes another tool. Because of this, Nikilo is very mature and adult, contrasting with his younger brother deeply.

Unlike his younger brother, Nikilo's accent is quite thick. Hailing from Germany, the accent confounds most people. Acting like nothing happen, he secretly loves the looks on people's faces as he speaks quickly, no matter the language. Speaking of which, Nikilo is fluent in four languages. English, French, German, and Japanese, due to his extensive traveling with Jamie and the fact that almost all languages are common everywhere.

Money and Family are the most important things to Nikilo, after experimenting. For this reason, he allows his little brother to stay with him (to secretly keep an eye on him) and why they allow any species in their shop. They don't care who they sell to, as long as they sell. For this reason, most hollows leave them be, seeing as their shop is on the outskirts of town. In the middle of the wastelands, many hollows roam by. And many Hollows drop in.

Nikilo, oddly enough, hates the sun. He prefers working by lunar light, but can handle the sun if he needs to. The brightness blocks his vision, and generally pisses him off. His favorite dish would be Mashed Potatoes with a slab of deer or moose meat, covered in thick gravy and a side of steamed vegetables. If he can't find that, or doesn't have the time, simple rice and chicken will work for him. He isn't too picky when it comes to food. Oddly enough, however, he will only drink Water.

Nikilo is roughly 5'11 without shoes on. In fact, Nikilo never wears shoes. The only thing he wears over his pale white skin is a pair of ragged black trousers and a white long-sleeved shirt. Both are incredibly loose. He has medium length black hair that spikes to the left slightly and is very thick. Hs cold, icy blue eyes have thick, black circles under them. This is probably due to the fact that he rarely sleeps. He is too busy being awake half the night experimenting, and the other half patching up his wounds from said experiments. On his chest is what appears to be a celtic cross burned into the area just after where his neck ends. His fingernails and hands are usually dirty from his work, but he washes them when he gets a chance. That is kind of rare, though.

Germany was a peaceful time, in the beginning. A refuge camp of Quincy lived there (Germany being their origins) and they were the first to hit when the disease spread. One among them, a seven year old boy named Nikilo Flamme was instantly taken by the disease. He had been changed, turned forever from a Budding Quincy into a powerful Null.
Training hard with the other changed, Nikilo soon discovered (after two years, at the age of nine) that he was especially gifted with Transmutation and potion making. Everything else was second rate, and left well enough alone. Than, at age 18, his brother was born. Discovering he could control his aging, Nikilo stayed 18 until present day, and still hasn't aged.
After Jamie was born, Nikilo raised him himself, his parents being too busy with their lives to teach them day to day skills. They loved them though. After a few years of training and whatnot, the boys went out on their journey.
Traveling the world, they looked through every dome they could find, and learned as much as possible. Then, Nikilo had an idea. They were very skilled Alchemists, why not open a shop and spell special items, each doing half the work, each receiving half the payment. Choosing a spot on the outskirts of a dome on earth, the boys set up.
Selling to whatever species that would buy, the two earned a Urahara-esque (though vaguely worse) reputation. The Platin Herz sold to whomever would buy. They even included their own special services in the list of things they could do, and sold themselves as Mercanaries when needed.
Of course, everything can be bought for the right price.
One day, a Vizard named Ark and Nikilo got into a little tiff. This led to a battle that went all the way to Hueco Mundo. Once inside the great area, an even more powerful Vizard named Zin arrived. After Ark escaped due to Zin's arrival (the two being on the same side), Zin and Nikilo formed a deal. Zin was going to train Nikilo. Ryuga Akuma, a powerful Adjucha level hollow then entered the scene. Nikilo had sensed Zin's inner hollow, and felt that if he had one he too could achieve Zin's level of power. Ryuga agreed to become his inner hollow, and the two were fused shortly there-after.

Ryuga is your average sized Adjuchas. He has the general shape of a wolf with a body span of seven feet from nose-tip to tail-tip. His head is covered with a white bone-hollow mask, red markings adorning it in a linear fashion. A much darker red shines from the eye holes, giving him quite the sinister appearance when you couple that with his intense jaw and fangs. Sharp horns end the back of his jaw and skull, two of them covering and protecting his ears. His hollow hole is positioned in the lower-center of his shaggy chest.

His four legs are covered in what appears to be black and red leg-warmers, though these are actually armored shin guards. Thin but strong spikes eject from his spinal cord, and run across his thin body. His tail has thick red bands covering it every few inches, much like his legs' bracers. Tipping his spindly tail is a triangular point, also known as a "devil's tail". All in all, he weighs roughly 180 pounds.

Ryuga is obsessed. He wants one thing and one thing only in his life, and that is a family. Driven by an insatiable need that stems from his time even as a human, Ryuga cannot tame it. Ryuga's hunger for a family is so complete that he will kill those not in his family or whom reject his offer, simply to eliminate the competition for said family.

This was the beginning stages of his insanity. First, he began hearing things. Voices, even. Voices that promised of a family. Than, he began seeing strange shapes. Strange wispy shadows that followed him around and told of a family somewhere out there for him. And than the crack. Ryuga had cracked and "slaughtered" these shapes. These wispy voices stopped, but filled Akuma with a loneliness that could not be fixed.

That loneliness evolved, and now Ryuga sees everyone as a potential threat or family. In battle, Ryuga has only one battle tactic - assimilate. His tactics involve destroying every cell he can that still exists of his opponent. When not in battle, he can be quite peaceful, a strange contrast to his battle mode. Some would call him a "defective hollow" because he doesn't want to fight if he doesn't have to. He only wants to love something.

Jeremy Rindsler was your typical adult. He woke up every day, at the crisp age of thirty five, and headed off to work in his '67 camaro. Yes, life was good for Jeremy. He owned his own company specializing in animal health care and products. Unfortunately, his single life (for he had never married) was cut short one fateful afternoon when a man drunk off absinthe (the HARD stuff) plowed his transport truck straight into Jeremy's face. Or rather, the face of his camaro.

Unable to believe it, The soul of Jeremy Rindsler refused to move on. He had still never married, and that (believe it or not) was one of his goals in life. He hadn't married yet simply because he wanted to raise a family into a respected house, and have enough money for everyone to be happy.

As the months went by, Jeremy's soul chord became woefully thin. Finally, exactly one year after his death, the soul chord disappeared. No Shinigami had ever come for him, but this was probably because of the events with Aizen and whatnot, as he was alive around that time. As he fell into a demi-hollow state, he exploded in a torrent of pure energy, and reformed inside Hueco Mundo. As a gillian, he looked like a large ape, many muscles covered in thick fur, shaggy and black.

His knuckles dragged on the ground, and a thin tail swept behind him. Covering his face was the blank stare of a hollow mask, complete with muzzle and fangs. Unfortunately, this wasn't exactly what he was (an ape that is). In fact, Jeremy had become a werewolf-similar beast in his hollow state. It was than he felt the hunger. An insatiable hunger filled his stomach, and echoed out of his hollow hole (positioned of course on his chest).

Roaring, the hollows around Jeremy rebounded in fear. As he chased their fleeing forms, he caught them each and all, devouring them like pies. It took nearly 300 years for Jeremy to go from Gillian to Menos, and than menos to adjuchas. 300 years of tormenting memories of what could have been and should have been.

Finally, however, Jeremy had evolved. He had seen much, and much had changed in his time. He had watched the rise and fall of an empire (Los Nochos) from afar, still sooking over the fact he didn't have a family. After his wolfen transformation, the need for such a family took control. Now it was a sick obsession. Over 100 years passed afterwords, and Jeremy's hunger had grown.

Warped and twisted by becoming a Hollow, Jeremy had changed nearly every aspect of his personality. No longer was he Jeremy Rindsler. Now, he was Ryuga Akuma. And he wanted his family. He wanted it so bad he was slowly driven insane, a psychokinetic beast on the loose. After sensing Zin and Nikilo's great stand-off, he rushed to the scene. After that, Nikilo Flamme and he discussed the possibility of sealing Ryuga inside of Nikilo. Ryuga agreed because it would help him find (or make) a family afterwords. It should be noted that after the fusion, Nikilo has gained a cross-like symbol on his chest, just below where his neck ends. Said symbol appears to be burnt into him lightly.

Impaling 5 seele shneiders in critical points of Ryuga's body, an exhausted Nikilo (both mentally and physically) absorbed the spirit particles of the disintegrating hollow. Because of his exhaustion, it was quite easy for Ryuga to remain conscious and exert a bit of control to stay conscious. Now, the two are one being.

Cero s a form of attack used by Menos, Arrancar and Vizard. As a standard energy blast, it consists of firing a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy at the target. While in most cases it is fired from the mouth, some Arrancar and Vizard are capable of firing Cero from their hands, fingers and other parts of their bodies. This often requires the user to under take a specific pose, with Coyote Starrk being the only exception.

The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength of the user (i.e., the stronger the user, the stronger the attack), and there are some Arrancar and Vizard who have come up with their own variation of Cero. The charging and firing time for Cero also varies greatly, from relatively charging fast to firing it to instantaneously fire one without much charging.

Garganta is how Arrancars and Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway. It is primarily used by Hollow and Arrancar, but some other characters have used it through different means.

Negacion is the term used for the fields used by Hollows to rescue fellow Hollows. Only the Gillian-class Menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the Menos that created the field.

Psychokinesis Ryuga is also blessed with three abilities. Pyrokinesis, Cyrokinesis, and Telekinesis. The ability to control fire, ice, and even move objects with his mind. The level of strength he has for each is accounted for by his Willpower, Stamina, Endurance, and Physical strength. If he is weak, his powers are weak, but if he is feeling strong, his powers can be quite devastating. Unfortunately, his telekinesis can only insentient objects. If it is a car or animal, he can control it, but if it is people, he cannot.

When Ryuga manipulates fire, he must first shoot a ball of fire from his mouth. If he doesn't, no fire can be controlled by him. If someone stops his mouth from opening to use his technique, it fails. Secondly, his eyes will flare with a red brighter than normal, to signify he is in control of fire. He cannot command Ice at the same time, and is incredibly weak against it while he is in his "fire" form.

During his Ice manipulation form, he must first release a blast of ice (usually in an icicle or misty ball) from his mouth. If he doesn't no ice can be controlled by him. If someone stops his mouth from opening to use his technique, it fails. Secondly, his eyes glow with a deep, icy blue, to signify he is in control of ice. He cannot command fire at the same time, and is incredibly weak against it while in his "ice" form.

When Ryuga uses telekinesis, he must first release a blast of telekinetic power from his head. If he doesn't, no telekinesis can be performed by him. The way to stop this would be by smashing him in the face or head, to cause him to lose his concentration. Secondly, his eyes glow a deep purple to signify he is in "Telekinetic form". He cannot command Fire or Ice at the same time, and is incredibly weak against both plus physical exertion while in his "Psychic" form.

***Please Note, Hardly any of these limits apply for Nikilo anymore. After the fusion, they were stabilized. Now, he no longer needs to shoot the bursts to begin each power. He can just use them. Also, he is no longer weak against the opposing forces. He can also control the powers at the same time. The new limits for these powers come from What mode/form he is in.***

Sonido: is a technique used by Arrancar which allows them to move at extreme speeds, making it highly similar to the Hohō (or Flash Steps as they are called in the English Dub) that Shinigami use. While somewhat similar to Hohō, Sonído appears to be more instinctual than Hohō, requiring no previous knowledge to perform. It also makes a different sound; rather than the swishing or sometimes silent Flash Step of the Shinigami, Sonído makes a booming or static sound.

Hollow Mask: Nikilo can now form Ryuga's hollow mask on his face to augment his powers.

Mask Protection: Body damage can seemingly be ignored while wearing their masks, as demonstrated by Ichigo's Hollow during his unwilling transformations.

Unlike other Null/Quincy, Nikilo now produces Reiatsu naturally, and can also absorb reishi from the surrounding areas, making quite formidable. He can also use Ryuga's unique Raging Wolf Cero naturally. He now has enhanced Sight and Smell capabilities, each being over 10 times stronger then normal. For some reason, he also occasionally has a taste for "hollow meat" and must kill and devour a Hollow in order to satisfy it.

Ice Form: In this Form, Nikilo's usual cold, icy blue eyes begin glowing an even colder blue. The cross on his chest also glows. His body temperature becomes a natural -20 degrees Celsius. He has moderate manipulation and control of Ice in this form. He also gains Ryuga's arm and leg guards, though they are a harsh blue, and as strong as ice can be that thick. If they are shattered, they can be regrown naturally.

Fire Form: In this Form, Nikilo's usual cold, icy blue eyes begin glowing an intense orange. The cross on his chest also glows this color. His body temperature sky-rockets to nearly 200 degree's Celsius. He has moderate control and manipulation of Fire in this form. He also gains Ryuga's arm and leg guards, though they are a harsh orange, and as burn intensely. If Nikilo so chooses, they can burst into flames naturally. If they are shattered, they can be regrown naturally. In this form, he is impervious to Heat/fire and cold/ice that is -50 degrees or warmer.

Psychic Form: In this Form, Nikilo's usual cold, icy blue eyes begin glowing a full, solid purple. The cross on his chest also glows this color. His body temperature remains normal in this form, unlike his Fire and Ice forms. He also gains Ryuga's arm and leg guards, as well as tail, though they glow that same purple. In this form he has powerful telekinesis, though it can be countered easily by a burst of reiatsu from someone stronger then he.

Masked Form: In this form, Nikilo gains a hollow mask, Ryuga's to be exact. That is the only change. He also gains the ability to use all of his General Hollow powers, though they are pretty weak at this point.

Alpha Form: This is a mixture of his previous forms. His eyes shift color quickly from Blue to Orange to Purple, all of them glowing quite solidly. The cross on his chest actually glows black, instead of changing color or mixing. His entire body also gains a white glow. He also gains Ryuga's arm and leg guards, as well as tail that are a solid black with the rings glowing white. In this form, he has the ability to use Pyrokinesis, Telekinesis, and Cyrokinesis equally at the same strength he would have been able to use them in each individual form. Due to the fact that he has Ice, Fire, and Psychic energy running through him, his body temperature stays the same as normal, though it can flicker if he so chooses it.

Hollow Form: In this form, Nikilo dons Ryuga's hollow mask. He also gains thick, sharp claws a well as Ryuga's arm and leg guards and tail. A light coating of white fur covers his skin. Everything is normal color. Replacing his cross mark is a Hollow hole that bores through him. In this form, he gains the ability to use all of his Hollow powers.

He also gains thick, sharp claws a well as Ryuga's arm and leg guards and tail. A light coating of white fur covers his skin. These traits are optional and he can choose whether or not to materialize them or not while in this form. The mask and hollow hole, on the other hand, are not optional.

Hollow Form - Release: In this form, Nikilo dons Ryuga's hollow mask. He also gains thick, sharp claws a well as Ryuga's arm and leg guards and tail. A light coating of white fur covers his skin. Everything is normal color. Replacing his cross mark is a Hollow hole that bores through him. In this form, he gains the ability to use all of his Hollow powers. The only difference from this form and his first Hollow form is the fact that Ryuga takes complete control in this form.

Omega Form: This form is essentially a mixture of Hollow Form and Alpha Form. Nikilo's eyes burn a shifting tricolor from beneath his mask while glowing an intense white. His cross burn glows white-hot inside of his hollow hole. His tail, claws, and guards also glow black. The fur on his body has become thicker. He can now use both his Hollow abilities and his Psychokinetic abilities.

Omni Form: This is Nikilo's most powerful form. In this form, he grows to be about seven feet tall. His body is now laden with powerful muscles covered in shaggy white fur. Tipping each individual finger is a claw about an inch long and sharper then obsidian. His tail is now thicker in direct proportion to the rest of his growth. He gains, of course, the arm-guards, leg-guards, and mask of Ryuga. His hollow hole is no longer circular in his chest, but the cross burn mark is actually "cut-out" of his body, in place of it. He can now use every single one of his ability freely.

Even through all of this, Nikilo still has a Human/Null body. Using his techniques too crazily will result in him "spontaneously" combusting. His spirit DEFINITELY shortens his life span, even by accident.

He also cannot use more then one form of the same level in succession. If he uses Fire form, he must next use Alpha or Hollow form. He cannot go from Fire form to ice, etc. He can only use his forms once per thread. This does not mean he can use fire, then hollow, then hollow-release, then omni, finish the fight, go back to normal, turn around, and go ice form. This means if he uses his Fire form, that's it. He can only go higher up.

If he relinquishes his form, he can't go into it, or any other form, again. Also, Nikilo is now considered an outcast. He can no longer enter cities with anti-hollow detection devices, or he will be killed. He produces ONLY Hollow reiatsu, and that could be dangerous for him.

He now has an intense weakness against sound and scents, due to his increase in those areas. He is still adjusting to them, but they are still quite dangerous.

Nikilo has a time span for each of his forms. Each form has it's own internal clock that tells him when he is almost done in said form. He must reset this clock by either exiting his transformation, or ascending the level ladder. Basically, if he goes out of his transformation, his clock is reset. If he goes to level two from level one, or level four from level three, his time span is reset. This time span grows with practice. Currently, it is 10 posts for level one, then decreasing by two for each level, ending at 4 posts for level 4.

A foolish Shinigami had requested a battle with Urufu Tatsumaki, as he tried to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach."A spar you say?" He asked grinning. "Sounds good." Bringing his claws to his lips, he was pleased to note that some of the blood from the hollow didn't wash away in the ocean. Several moments ago, Urufu had stolen the Shinigami's kill, and slayed a Flying Hollow with quite a bit power. Licking it off, he swallowed it. His purple eyes flashed black for a second, before he yawned. "This may hurt.." He whispered to himself, as gigantic wings sprung from his back, ripping the skin and his cloak. Blood dripped from his back slightly, but he was fine. Wiping away one tear threatening to fall from the corner of his eyes, he grinned. Launching himself into the air, he flapped his enormous bat-like wings, and held aloft in the salty ocean. Looking down on the shinigami, he began to charge a cero from his hand..

The Shinigami had thrown up some sand in the first little bit in hopes to blind him. It worked.. slightly. As the sand blinded him, he smirked. He was the wolf of retribution, for The goddess' sakes. Urufu didn't need to see to defend. "I can still hear the whistle of the wind as your blade approaches." He said, as he twirled with his left wing extended, smacking Rokiro (The Shini) and knocking his blade away from his wind. "And I can still hear your blood pumping through your veins." He said, as he began to slash and hack at the boy with his claws, both from his hands and shoe-less feet.

He wore no shoes, and never trimmed his nails, until they became a hassle. They were sharp as daggers, and incredibly sharp and thick. See, Urufu needed blood to survive. Until he got it, he had barely any abilities. He needed a way to penetrate some skin and get to the delicious red nectar inside of someone. If he ate regular human food, he would throw it up. And that wasn't pretty.

As the sun shone down on the two, Urufu finally cleared out his eyes. Still slashing towards Rokiro, his vision was fuzzy, but soon cleared. The ocean was like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket. It sparkled and shone with an intense blue that made Urufu smile, and nearly forget he was fighting. Nearly.

The sand was white hot and glowing, shining off of everybody's near-naked body as they shone with sweat and ocean spray, many of them soaked. Some people were working their tans, and many had children that were making sand castles and the such. Focusing back to the task at hand, Urufu increased the reiatsu in his arms. This helped force oxygen into his muscles, and made him go faster.

Pushing, he practically forced the wind to separate away from him to increase his speed. He didn't technically do that, but it seemed like it as sweat poured from his body in his attempt to harm his sparring partner. Sharpening his claws with reiatsu even still, he continued his barrage of nail, adding tooth occasionally, snapping at Rokiro's form to get some blood. He was moving so fast, he wasn't sure if he even hit the boy once.

Eat him.. eat him..eat him.. That voice was still in his head. Vereor's voice. Sometimes he could ignore it.. but usually he couldn't. And he usually listened. As the Shinigami was torn to pieces by his deadly claws, He listened...

Zitteraal-Schicht: This coating of Reiatsu gives the weapon or object a shocking surprise. Giving of a constant current of electricity, this can be quite nasty, since it can cause numbness or even nerve damage in living things. This technique requires more control and is very difficult to be used to enchant something permanently.
Sauerstoff werde Stickstoff: The oxygen in Nikilo's canteen is changed into Nitrogen, a chemical with explosive and corrosive properties.
Wasserstoff werde Titan: Hydrogen changes into Titanium. Due to the advanced stages of this art, the hydrogen in the very air before Nikilo is changed. If he changed it in his flask, he would have a canteen full of metal. Due to the advanced control of this, Nikilo usually coats something with Titanium, rather than creating.
Sauerstoff werde Titan: Very similar to Wasserstoff Werde Titan, however oxygen changes this time, instead of hydrogen. The very same limits apply as the previous technique.
Wasser werde Titan: This isn't actually a technique, more of a combined version of both techniques previous. By using Wasserstoff and Sauerstoff werde titan at the same time, Nikilo can successful turn Water into Metal. This is an easier transmutation to do theoretically, because it is a liquid going to a solid, however, due to the advanced strain on his reiatsu, it is used rarely.
Stickstoff werde Shwefel: Nitrogen is changed to Sulfur, a chemical commonly used as gunpowder and other explosives.
Wasserstoff werde Kupfer: This technique changes hydrogen into copper.
Wasserstoff Werde Eisen: This technique turns hydrogen into iron.
Gestalt umwandeln: The second ability every transmuter can learn, this is the ability to reshape the crafted objects while they are still infused by the spirit particles used by the Null. With this, a iron plate becomes a dagger, or a copper piece a screw - the possibilities end where the imagination ends. However, complex reshaping take much energy, so use with caution.
Die Kunst des Tränkebrauens: The last of the big Null disciplines, this is the one thing that comes the closest to the alchemists of the middle ages. Combining both transmutation and enchantment, a Null can create healing lotions, explosive liquids or even poisons. This is achieved through enchanting the things used in the potion with raw liquid Reiatsu, and using other normal ingredients.

Corrosive Gas The gas released from this potion is capable of corroding through lead.

Armageddon This potion is actually an explosive, capable of leveling three feet of cement.

Intense Healing potion - This potion is capable of curing most diseases, and even restore limbs if necessary. Doesn't work on STD's, Tumors, and The Ebola Virus

Nikilo carries around a specially hand-crafted (no transmutation or anything) sword hilt with him. Embedded in the center of the pommel is a pentacle, which glows an odd black color when his own Reiatsu is absorbed into it. Made of titanium, the hilt is a gleaming silver, and quite basic having wood as a grip, and bare steel guards and pommel. When activated, a harsh black blade, nearly three feet long and four inches wide shimmers into existence. This blade is made purely of reiatsu (like a quincy bow) and able to cut through most materials a Shinigami's zanpakuto can cut through.
