Personality: To be frank the hollow is a brutal, sadistic bastard. He lives for destruction, as hollow instincts usually revolve around, and he cares about no one but his desires. If someone is in trouble? Unless it's Ichigo, the King of his supposed world, he doesn't care one bit. In fact he'd either laugh at their misfortune or get involved against their favor. He hasn't had much interaction with people, other than those he's fought through Ichigo's body, so he's not well socialized. Not that he'd be interested in befriending people he could fight instead.
Even if Ichigo is his priority to protect there's little love lost between them; it's only for a self-serving reason that he would help him. The hollow does everything in his power to hinder the boy, threatening to hurt his friends, to devour his soul and crush him if Ichigo's resolve starts to crack. His own existence and destruction of anything he touches is the most important regardless if anyone gets hurt. He has no personal attachment to anything so if he goes all out to destroy something it's purely for the thrill of it. Simply defeating an enemy and letting them live isn't enough--he would make them suffer and play with them as a cat would a mouse if it so pleased him. If Ichigo is having a hard time with enemies or even dealing with his darker half, the hollow is more than happy to taunt and tease him, saying that if Ichigo missteps he'll crush him and it will be his fault. Once in a while he'll take a wicked sort of pity on the boy's lack of knowledge and offer roundabout advice in battle to help him but he makes sure the other would have to read between the lines to retrieve the useful information.
It isn't in his job description to make anything easy for anyone. It wouldn't be any fun.
Fears: The hollow doesn't exactly have any fears, per say, but since his soul is housed with Ichigo's if the other dies the hollow will die with him. Because of that if Ichigo finds himself in a bind that could only result in his death the hollow will step in, whether wanted or not, and either kill or incapacitate the enemy to keep the teenager alive. Until the hollow has taken over Ichigo's existence by crushing him and devouring his soul his very life depends on the fights that Ichigo gets involved with in the spiritual world. Though despite of all that... the hollow calls Ichigo's death would be an inconvenience to him.
Weaknesses: If the hollow had any weaknesses one of them would be Ichigo dying. He sees himself tied to his King's soul so if Ichigo was in danger he would protect him. Hollows also do devour souls to fill a void in their existence but since this hollow is trapped in the Inner World he hasn't had a chance to hunt them down himself; only going after Ichigo's as he doesn't have much of a choice. It could be said that the endless hunger that other hollows experience applies to this one as well. Another possible weakness would be the hollow's desire to fight strong opponents and destroy. He isn't one to back down from a challenge and would rather jump into a fight than to stand at the side.
Mundane Strengths/Abilities: With having a high level of spiritual energy, hand-to-hand combat experience, sharp knowledge in fighting and higher physical strength than Ichigo the hollow is definitely a challenge. The powers range between the Shinigami powers he automatically inherited from Ichigo upon his creation and his inert hollow abilities. His high level of spiritual power is controlled upon existence while Ichigo’s, despite how strong it is, is not in control one hundred percent. While he uses a weapon called Zangetsu, a physical manifestation of Ichigo's Shinigami powers, he is able to use the same abilities that Ichigo learned how to use. Each time the boy learned more about his Shinigami powers and what he could do the hollow automatically learned at the same time.
For his inherited Shinigami abilities he is able to use:
Zangetsu - A physical representation of the Shinigami powers in the form of a sword.
Shunpo (Flash Step) - An ability that allows the hollow to move at quick 'flash-like' speeds; often used in short bursts.
Bankai - The second release form of a zanpakutou. This final form of the weapon allows the user to fully use the extent of their abilities of their previously sealed sword. In the case of the hollow and Ichigo it changes their clothing, increases their speed and changes the appearance of the sword. For most users of Bankai their weapon is larger to reflect the increased power of the weapon but Zangetsu's form is smaller to increase Ichigo and the hollow's ability to move faster.
Getsuga Tenshou - A condensed spiritual energy attack that is released in a wave from the sword. The hollow claims that Ichigo stole that attack from him when he was training to go into Soul Society.
For his natural Hollow abilities he is able to use:
High-speed Regeneration - Damage taken in battle is rapidly repaired by this ability nearly instantaneously.
Cero - A hollow energy attack that is condensed energy and used by strong hollows.
Sonido - An ability that allows high-level hollows, usually Arrancar (hollows that gain Shinigami powers after removing their masks), to move at high speeds in bursts.
Full hollow form - This form was achieved when the hollow claimed nearly full control over Ichigo's body in moments of weakness and the boy's body was changed; a layer of hollow bone covered the boy's skin with claws on his hands and feet, a mask encased his face, a hole in his chest (signifying the loss of his heart) and his reiatsu signature reeked of hollow energy. The only time that this full form was achieved was when Ichigo's chest was punctured by his opponent Ulquiorra and the hollow had to step in to save his life. Other times there were partial takeovers where the hollow nearly succeeded until Ichigo threw him back.
Sensitivity/Magical Ability: Hollows are spiritual entities that devour souls. That being said, despite that the hollow lives within Ichigo's soul and manifests through him, he has a high level of reiatsu (spiritual energy) and can see hollows, ghosts, Shinigami (Death gods) or anything in a spiritual sense. He can also feel spiritual powers from other entities if they have it (or if they hide it he won't) and if there spiritually sensitive beings that have a lower power than him it's possible that his reiatsu can overwhelm them and force them to their knees.
Supply List: The hollow doesn't carry much with him. He was born within Ichigo's soul and his Inner World so he only owns the clothes on his back and his Zanpakutou--a sword that is a physical form of Ichigo's Shinigami powers. It is his primary weapon and he owns no other personal possessions.
Sample RP post:
It was complete bullshit. Even if Ichigo managed to beat him in battle, regained control of his soul and gained the use of the hollow’s powers he was still weak. He defeated the enemies he came across, fine, but he let them live. Unacceptable to be his King.
The hollow sneered at he sat on the face of one of the buildings in the Inner World, waiting as his supposed King used his abilities to go move closer to death. That’s all he was going, really. Even if he managed to rescue that woman he was hell-bent on saving… his soul was doomed anyhow. All the hollow needed was one crack in his defenses, one slip, one moment of weakness… and he would crush Ichigo’s soul into nothing.
He just had to wait.
A wicked grin crossed pale features. No matter how much confidence Ichigo had with keeping his darker half under his thumb there was no way that the hollow would simply bow down to his King forever. His instincts were sharper and wouldn’t be put aside to satisfy the will of another. Wouldn’t it be entertaining if Ichigo managed to save that goddamn woman and the hollow snuck in and snapped her neck? And all the answer Ichigo would get was that he was warned.
All she was good for was screaming her head off anyway. He’d be doing Ichigo a favor.
He looked up at the tilted sky, noticing that it was getting darker as Ichigo’s misery increased. It would start raining soon and despite how much the hollow despised the storms that came… he knew his chance as close. The glass in the building windows then started to shudder, rattling in their frames and a hand was gently placed one of the panes. Ichigo was losing.
Just a little longer and he’d be able to creep in and ruin the boy’s life even further.
