| QuincyName: Gram Kurogane Age: 36 Height: 6'4 Weight: 188 LBS Gender: Male Personality: Gram is a "I'll do it later" kind of guy. He doesn't like to be rushed or bossed around at all. He does things at his own pace and will not stand to be told not to. Even though hes quite lazy he wont turn down a fight. "Stretch them legs." He'd say. The more intense the fight, the greater the thrill. You could think of him as a more laid back Kenpachi. He loves to get up close and personal and doesn't release his Bow because he thinks that fighting from a distance makes him seem weak. Gram is also what you would call a Glory Hog. He has always admired action movie heroes and has always wanted to be one of them. He would gladly go out of his way to save the life of an innocent so that he could receive their gratitude and feel like a real hero. Though sometimes he goes a bit too far and the person he saves often becomes afraid of him instead of whatever it was that Gram is saving them from. He will always save a woman before a man, because hes a little sexist and believes that all men should be able to take care of themselves better than a woman could. After the death of Father Yuu (Read history) he began to drink (A lot) and has become a Drunk. Its very rare that he doesn't have a good buzz on, and will never refuse another drink. While hes drunk he likes to pick fights, which has gotten him in to a lot of trouble in the past. Although when he picks fights their relatively friendly brawls, as far as brawls go. "C'mon lets scrap!" he'd say. Sometimes he'd pick a more serious fight ending with his opponent being a normal human with several broken bones. Appearance:Gram normally wears loose clothing such as shorts, T-Shirts and unbuttoned button shirts and sometimes a pair of sunglasses. He has brown hair and blue, droopy eyes. He has several Tribal tattoos including those shown in the picture, and some tribal arm bands below his right shoulder. Spirit Power: 15 Speed: 12 Intelligence: 13 Fighting Skill: 20 History/Background: Gram was born in Karakura Town and raised by his God Father, Father Yuu. Father Yuu was the minister of a church near the Karakura Town Hospital. Upon entering the Church you'd see a large Cross behind the Alter where Father Yuu would preach. Yuu often told Gram that the Cross was special. Gram simply thought it was special because it was a holy cross which they used to worship God and all that crap. Gram was never really in to Religion despite his God Fathers teachings. He was often scolded for talking badly about God, which just made him reject the religion even more. He rarely did his homework, and when he did it was only D+ material. As a Teen, Gram got in to a lot of fights and was beginning to rebel against Father Yuu. He would stay out past curfew, drink, party etc, basic teenager stuff. Father Yuu had almost given up on him, but one day, when Gram decided not to skip school he saw something. On his way home he had seen a massive creature, a Hollow. The Hollow was the size of a two story building and smelled of blood. Gram was stunned with fear and before he had a chance to react, the Hollow had noticed him. The Hollow chased Gram back to his church where Gram hoped the Hollow couldn't enter having been taught about that whole Hallowed Ground thing. Unfortunately that was not the case. The Hollow had followed Gram to the Church where Father Yuu was waiting. Father Yuu extended his arm and formed a Bow made of blue light. Gram was amazed at this sight, he had no idea what was going on. The Old man who took care of him was some kind of Holy Warrior or something, Gram thought. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out like they would have in a movie. The Hollow was powerful, too powerful for Father Yuu to defeat. The Hollow had defeated him, but before he breathed his last breath he spoke out to Gram, "The Cross!" He yelled. Gram knew immediately what he meant and ran in to the church where the Hollow followed. Gram ran behind the alter, to where the large cross stood. He didn't quite know what to do with it, but he didn't have time to think about it. As the Hollow approached he picked up the cross and threw it at the Hollow striking its mask and cracking it. Before the Hollow had a chance to run, Gram had picked the Cross back up and swung it at the Hollow again shattering its mask, obliterating it. After the burial of his God Father, Gram had been approached by a Doctor. This however wasn't just any Doctor no. He was a Quincy, a friend of Father Yuu's. He took Gram in and taught him about his ancestors and about the Cross which stood behind the Alter. The Cross was the weapon of a great Quincy and was named Onigami. He taught Gram how to bring out its power and how to fight as a Quincy. It took many years for Gram to learn how to release his bow and during that time he used a alternate fighting style which was unheard of among the Quincy. He fought using Onigami in its sealed state. He beat Hollow to death earning him the title, The Brute. Gram has a very unique fighting style for a Quincy... Instead of using the average Bow and Arrow, he uses his Bow in its sealed state as a weapon. Its sealed state being a six foot six tall blue Cross. By gathering Reishi from the air and mixing it with his own Reiatsu he can increase his physical strength greatly making him the only known Melee Quincy alive. Though he does have a bow, he just chooses not to use it... His bow, Tenbatsu is an old fashioned Hwacha, a Korean arrow launcher which fires hundreds of explosive arrows at once. It is said that Gram's ancestor used Tenbatsu to wipe out an entire army of Hollows within a matter of seconds. (Nowhere on this template does it ask to put Bow information so expect some surprises from Gram...) Rp Sample:- Spoiler:
- Quote :
- It was a very sunny day when the fabric of space was torn over Krakura Town. The birds were chirping, the wind was blowing, the victim of the Arrancar was screaming. "SAVE ME!" she'd yell. It was like music to Gram's ears. He loved to be the hero of the day, saving an innocent woman from a terrible monster. Gram was sleeping on the ground in the park when he heard the woman cry out for help. He sat up from his comfortable position and grinned. His Cross Onigami was on the ground next to him upright. He said, "Time to be the hero again." As he stood up on his feet, picked up his cross and rested it on his shoulder. He began to walk casually over to the scene where the Arrancar, who appeared to be nothing more than a Numeros, wearing standard Arrancar clothing and had fangs below his chin which were the remains of his mask. He wasn't really doing much to the woman before Gram arrived. He simply enjoyed watching her scream and beg for her life.
The Arrancar finally noticed the man with the massive cross on his shoulder and says, "Who the hell are you?" Gram continues to walk towards the two and says in a casual tone, "Names Gram, and I'd like you to stop pickin' on that there girl or there will be hell to pay. You can be sure of that." Gram looked at the terrified woman and winked at her, however it didn't help her terror in any way, she was still frightened. The Arrancar replied to Gram, "Pitiful human, your ignorance has cost you your life." The Arrancar raises his arm and extends his index finger. A small red sphere begins to form indicating that he is preparing a Cero. Gram knew what was happening and quickly reacted by lifting his Cross from his shoulder and swings it over his back and below the Arrancars arm striking below his forearm, shattering the bones in his arm and causes the Arrancar to fire the Cero in to the sky. Gram says, "Now you've gone and done it." He raises his Cross in to the air and attempts to crush the Arrancars skull.
The Arrancar leaps back dodging the Cross which crushes the cement. The Arrancars arm dangles, having been broken and he says in an angry tone, "You'll pay for that!!" The Arrancar then draws his Zanpakutou and says, "Hunt, León!" The Arrancars hair then grows to about five times its original length, hair grows all over his body, he grows large fangs and his hands turn in to massive claws. Gram rests his Cross on his shoulder again and lifts his sunglasses to get a better look at the Arrancar and says, "Man you're ugly..." The Arrancar roars in anger and quickly dashes towards him extending its claws towards him. Gram places his left foot forward and grabs his cross with both hands and swings it off of his shoulder and strikes the Arrancars head with the left side of the cross launching him high in to the air. Gram then places the large cross on the ground in front of him and calls out, "ONIGAMI!" His cross then transforms in to a large Hwacha, a Korean arrow launcher. He lifts up on the two handles behind the wheels it stands on and aims it at the flying Arrancar and fires hundreds of glowing arrows in to the sky after him creating something of a fireworks display obliterating the Arrancar.
After defeating the Arrancar he notices that the woman he had saved had run off. He sighed, having hoped to have been that hero he had always wanted to be. He reverted Onigami back in to its base form and carries it back in to the park where he was resting. He plants the cross in to the ground and lies down next to it, quickly dosing off again, waiting for the next opportunity to arise.

| Alright... The reason there is no Bow information is because you start with the basic blue one until... Rank 3, which you get your own quincy design like a shikai... Hadoland is the other quincy around here and As he has the information and i can get ahold of him for ya... So you dont get your giant blue cross... yet... on this site you start as an equivalant of a shinigami student and work your way up by rping... I put the Rank unlocks for ya in the spoiler so you can know what to expect...
Bah my ramblings...
Any questions or clarifications please pm me...

| Alright well I personally hate that system for Quincy... I'm a big Quincy fan and no offense but that is probably the, don't want to say worst but its down there, system for Quincy. All other races have the option of having unique abilities which only they are able to possess while all of the Quincy must use the same shit... You guys should really revamp the Quincy system... There is barely any way for us to make ourselves unique compared to the other Quincy and if I can't be unique I'd rather not be a Quincy at all. Go ahead and remove this bio. A Quincy's bow is an item... not something spiritual that you create with your soul. A Quincy should be able to start out with a Bow of their own design. Normally a Quincy receives his/her bow from a family member, the bow previously belonging to an ancestor or some relative. Out of all of the Quincy bows shown in the anime, none of them are the same and that alone should prove my point. anyway... Really unfair, you should change the system. < To whoever made the system. | |

There, a flash back picture of the quincy army... There are 3 quincies known in the anime... so thats not enough to support and arugument of how powerful they are... Ryuken is at least rank ten... - Quote :
- Rank-10 Ultimate bow achived(Rper's design) with special ablity
Ishida started at rank 0, skipped to rank 3, temporarily jumped to rank 10 during removal... and then went back and climbed to rank 5 during training to get his quincy power... eventually rank 6... and then upon training with that bow made it to Rank 9... Grampa we dont know enough about... Either way my point of that whole little rant is that they gain diversity by Ranking up... Just like a shinigami's and fighting style diversifies as they gain a shikai bankai and Ect... And also... the rank things im just approxamating... PS; - Spoiler:
I made the system, thats why im dealing with this... | |

| On you. I wasn't arguing about their power... Just the fact that they have to be the same until rank three which I personally cannot stand. Shinigami have Kido, Hollow have their unique Hollow abilities, Bounts have Dolls, Superhumans get special powers and Quincy have nothing but their bow and Heizen..? A picture is a picture... Nothing shows you anything about their general power levels, only that they are all using similar bows. That only proves that a Quincy's bow is an item that is obtained. How one obtains it depends. Nowhere in the anime, manga, or on bleach wiki does it say anything about requiring training to wield a bow of personal design with the exception of the Sanrei glove. At least for the sake of being a Non-Canon website, you should allow Quincy to make their own bows with a couple little perks that they gain as they Rank up... Having a normal Quincy bow utterly ruins my character and I'd rather not ruin something that I really like. | |

| Ah crap... That means me, eh? *Sigh*
Alright. I'm going to compare this class to shinigami since that seems to be the trend here...
Shinigami all start off as academy students. Most of them all have simple katanas as a choice, because their power has not been tapped into yet, therefore appearing uniform.
- Spoiler:
Now there are the occasional oddballs to this rule, some canon examples being Ichigo and Kenpachi, whose zanpakuto are always released. And it is true that there are some cases of that on this site. As for the bow, I could see some minor changes to each of the bows, seeing as they remain MINOR. Most quincy, before the anime had been reduced to two... had uniform bows as well.
- Spoiler:
I'd allow a color tint to the bow, Ishida's is blue, yours could be crimson, or green, etc. But all of the "released" versions, such as the pentagram shape, or whichever you choose, must wait until you've achieved that level of experience. Until then, you will be reduced to the level of power and abilities that Ishida had in the early episodes, such as the fight with Ichigo.
If there are any further questions or complaints please let me know and I'll answer them for you personally. If you have ideas to add to our quincy system, please do not hesitate to ask. I made the current rule system and I'll admit I did not do anything with the quincy simply for the fact that we had none when I wrote it up... Now that there is a demand for it I'd like to hear more of your opinions on the matter... | |

| Well that doesn't exactly help me very much... Gram uses his bow in its sealed state, which is a massive Cross carried on his shoulder, which is displayed in my Siggy. There is nothing saying that ones sealed Bow cannot be different in any way. Nor are there any rules about a Quincy having any unique fighting style...
A Quincy fights by gathering Reishi and mixing it with their own Reiatsu to form their bows. It is entirely possible for a Quincy to increase their own physical strength by using Reishi, so my characters fighting style should be acceptable...
Now there is my released Bow... On most websites (I hate comparing one website to another but the situation calls for it.) A Quincy is allowed to have their own unique bow and will gain abilities as he or she gets stronger. An example being poison arrows, or explosive arrows etc... In my case, my release is what one would call a heavy duty bow and would require a higher rank to unlock, or maybe just unlock a portion of its power and release a smaller version of itself.
This is a fictional anime about the supernatural... There are thousands of ways things can be organized so that this character could work, and if you'd let me I can make a new system that will suit your site and maybe bring in some new Quincy apps. | |

| if anyone wants my esteemed opinion *ahem* i suggest that gram writes up what he feels would be an acceptable quincy system, which the admins and mods would then vote on. i think that that is a good compromise...
that aside, i don't really see a reason why gram shouldn't be allowed to have a big-*ss cross like that- frankly, a weapon like that has a limited number of maneuvers you can do with it...i see it as more of a weakness than an advantage. | |

| Mmk, you say that you can use Reishi to increase your own physical strength. That is true, however, using that giant cross to fight hollow would be just like your char giving himself enhanced strength, then just going forth and bashing hollow with the nearest giant stick... Another thing, that cross must weigh.. Well... A lot, I mean imo at the starting level, you could hardly use the thing even while using Reishi to increase your physical strength.
So, based on this, my image of your char in a simplified term is a Quincy who increases his strength and whacks hollow with a really big stick... Then, at higher levels that big stick turns into a big bow. I can see how you can make a bow out of something that massive when you receive your Sanrei glove as that increases the rate at which you can gather Reishi. But, as you yourself said, you could make a bow the same size/strength as any other Quincy when it's released it's just a big cross you swing around.... ALSO! When you say that there is nowhere that says the release catalyst must be the same one can only assume that for low level Quincy it is that tiny cross. Your big ol'thing is something reminiscent of what I'd expect of a final bow, achieved at rank 10.
Another note, to be honest, this char would have more success as a superhuman rather than a Quincy. Somewhat like Chad if you;re so set on using that giant cross thingy. This however is my opinion. | |
