Alphain (Hollow)

Name: Alphain

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Height: 7'9"

Weight: 137 lbs


Appearance: Alphain, put simply, looks like a giant hyena with six legs and a protruding spine that enhances his animalistic appearance. He appears to have a coat of shaggy fir, gray in color, although it's extremely prickly, and serves as a warning to enemies. When he opens his mouth, he reveals needle-sharp yellowed teeth and a forked tongue. He's very thin when compared with his height, giving him a sort of spindly, feral appearance. He has claws three inches long, to help him deal with his prey. He has three eyes, spaced evenly across his face.


Personality: At the moment, Alphain acts very animalistic. He cannot speak yet, although he can, and does, laugh, an eerie, dark thing that sounds like a combination between a hyena and a baby screaming. Unless provoked, he will not often attack a foe stronger than he, if he can tell that the other being is stronger, although he won't hesitate to attack something weaker than him, especially if it's for a meal. He enjoys teasing his prey before going in for the kill, and doesn't generally care about where he hunts, as long as there's a meal there for him. Basically, he's a twisted, bestial Hollow, though he still retains his sanity, somehow.


History: As a child, Alphain, or, as he was known in life, Inamuru Eyrel, was scrawny and often picked on. He was adopted, so he never knew his real parents, which only further complicated his life, especially since his adopted father was abusive once his mother died. He never went to school, as he was forced to do most of the manual labor for his father. Finally, unable to take it anymore, he ran away, actually living in the sewers for the next several years. When he turned sixteen, he emerged from his secluded life and, now on the verge of losing his sanity, hunted down his adopted father and stabbed him to death in a vengeful rage.

Then, realizing what he had done, he took his own life as well. Because he had murdered in life, and even though his circumstances hadn't been ideal, he became a Hollow. It has been thirteen years since then, and rather ironically, his animalistic Hollow form enjoys torturing its prey. In his own mind, the Hollow has adopted a new name. Alphain.

Custom Hollow Abilities: (You are gifted 3 starting powers, these should be completely original techniques or powers of your hollow. They should also be relatively low powered. Please be descriptive with each power.)

Ability 1: Fitto Warau (Laughing Fit)
Description: Alphain can embue his breath with Reiatsu, and then, when he laughs, he can unleash it within those soundwaves. These buffet the enemy, and can cause some real pain within the head. It would be like a migraine on steroids, though it does not last longer than a few seconds.

Ability 2: Yajū no Ikari (Bestial Rage)
Description: Alphain embues his claws with Reiatsu and then attacks the foe in a wild, savage attack that mostly involves flailing and scratching, but the damage done to the foe is worse than any normal scratch could inflict. It would be like taking a slash from a sword, though not enhanced in any way, aside from the fact that there's more than one claw.

Ability 3: Yasei no Sekitsui (Wild Spine)
Description: Alphain's spine grows spikes, which protrude from his back. These can be shot from the back or used in some sort of rushing attack. Each spike does about the same amount of damage as a sword, although it is fairly hard to actually hit someone with them.


RP Sample:

Laughing, Alphain circled the weaker Hollow, licking his needle-sharp teeth and trying to keep himself from slobbering. It had been a while since he'd eaten, and he was eager to dig in. His instincts had taken over as soon as he'd seen that the other Hollow was his lesser, and he'd immediately gone on the hunt. He'd always preferred other Hollows to humans, and since he hadn't been able to have either for a while, this was perfect. He began to close in on his prey, a Hollow that looked somewhat like a frog, but apparently it didn't like the fact that it was about to be eaten, because it decided to try and escape at the last second, literally jumping away, the only thing it seemed like it was able to do.

Growling, the hyena-like Hollow followed his prey, his six legs speeding him along, allowing him to keep pace with his soon-to-be-meal. The growling turned to laughter as the frog-Hollow came to a stop, its wounds from their earlier fight tiring it out sooner than usual. He slammed at full speed into his prey, bearing it to the ground. With a viscious swipe, he tore through the other Hollow's, and then devoured its Reiatsu before it could dissipate. A shudder of pleasure shook Alphain's body, and it happened again, bubbling up from within as he turned away and bolted, wanting to be gone before any other potential enemies might approach, just incase they would be too strong from him.

His dark, haunting laughter pierced the night sky.
