Physical:  

Rei is a rather petite child, even at the age of two centuries and twelve years. He has flowing black hair that spikes in many places with two rather noticeably large bangs that fall toward his ovalesque face. Given his height at a mere one hundred and thirty-four centimeters^[4'4"], Rei is quite small for the average size of a boy with the body of a thirteen year old. He weighs in at about thirty-nine kilograms^[85lbs] which makes him a little lighter than normal, too. 

He has the weathered face of an old man, well moreso, the eyes which wrinkle in from possible over use. They are a sea of deep maroon and have hints of black around their ocular banks. His facial features match the size of his body and are small. His teeth, quite strikingly, are razor: they are small and triangular; his jagged enamel, if he so willed, could easily tear through the flesh of another Rukongai with little difficulty. 

Rei outfits himself in darker hued clothing, like blacks or deep reds to match his hair or eyes. He frequently houses his body in cloths like kimonos and will occasionally don a shirt and pants given their material be of the finest blacks and rather stretchable for his limbs to freely move in. While he does give off the look of an innocent young boy, Rei is very hostile when approached wrongly; in the result of doing so, his maroon eyes flicker crimson as the once roosting black banks tidal wave out of control in the form of three spiraling tomoe: "Ika" has awakened.

Mental:

Quite possibly one of the oddest creatures within the confines of the Rukon districts is Rei. While he is young, the boy boasts a haughty spirit^[Ika] that prances around the shadows of his ethos, instilling fear in those who are (un)lucky enough to bear witness to that perverse and morose entity. A by-product of this nature is his affliction of cannibalism, yet he will still eat common foods; in any case, he will just about eat anything that he can fit into his small mouth that hinges on a Scylla- and Charybdis-based physiology. 

While among his fellow members of society, Squiddy appears to be a sullen youth who rarely speaks. His temperament is no where near hostile but sort of a mixture between aloof and docile, to a point where respecting an elder's commands is not a problem and staying away from the limelight of merrymaking something plausible to achieve. He does have a very alluring side to him, which is ultimately the precursor sentiment to his darker self. 

Given this, Rei is not a hard person to hold a conversation with, but one that would much rather get you alone so his variation of limelight merrymaking can ensue.

History:

Shiotani Rei was born within the third district of Rukongai to poor parents who had barely enough money to raise him. As a result, he often turned to the streets and carried out odd-jobs to keep food in his belly. He was prone to eating raw meats as his feeding habits increased. On occasion, he would lure women and young children to the outskirts of town or in abysmal corridors and feast on their flesh; having been so close to the wastelands, many thought the horrendous attacks came from hollows and never suspected one so small as Rei to commit such crimes. Only then did he come to terms with his lusts for this corporeal delicacy.

As the boy grew older, so did his reiatsu abilities, as by the age of one hundred fifty he had began to manifest his spiritual powers in the likeness of a squid. "Ika," or Squiddy, as he was soon to be called, used his latent techniques to continue his feastings from prior with an additional twist, giving those who fell victim to his insidious modus operandi the insight of being violated by his tentacular abilities. He would continue to grow older and his usage better with the years, having kept to the shadows involving his ulterior disposition.

At his current age of two hundred twelve, Rei enjoys "happy-times" with those who fall prey to his innocent yet seductive charm. Having only recently found his soul bind while feeding inside the wooden realms of district two, the Shiotani youth continues to grow as a cannibal Rukon without suspicion. Hollow activity abroad has seemed to increase and has luckily allowed Ika to feed among his peoples.

Personal Abilities

1: ^[passive] Ibukurogane - With such a gluttonous disposition, Rei's stomach acids have been seemingly fortified by nature; in such fashion, the boy can devour an array of mundane delicacies: anything from dirt, stone or tree bark, to most steels and again, flesh, with kudos to his cuspate enamel, with no harm to his biological makeup.

2: ^[active] Shokushu - As Rei expresses his reiatsu in the form of an attack, his spiritual energies hover around either of his limbs to resemble a tentacle. His cordovan reiatsu is condensed further albeit its seemingly fluid state and can deal damage to those struck by it. He can also strangle people with this technique; the perk to lift things  also possible with his secondary ability.

3: ^[locked] Ikasumi - One reason that he was given the alias "Squiddy" is because of his rather innate ability to spew black spit from his mouth. Given that this is not an actual attack, the reported 'ink' can confuse onlookers be them friend or foe and can possibly freak them out to see such a feat. If anything, Rei uses his Ikasumi to setup his escapes or attacks, a tactic he has picked up from the centuries he's been around. When further enhanced with his reiatsu, the atrous spittle becomes wispy and is emitted from his parted lips like smog.

Soul Bind

Object: A small piece of obsidian ore that Rei found one evening while exploring the caves of district two. When he flares his reiatsu upon its structure, the soul bind glows a shade of maroon, quite reminiscent to his expressed spiritual energy. The ore is slightly hooked, resembling a part of a squid's beak. Its length is about eighteen centimeters long, matching the size of most small knives. He has managed to fit the acute mineral with a handle of sorts, using it in lieu of a shiv or kunai for basic close-quarters combat.

Alright before I get into grading this to heavily, I'd first like to ask you to follow the provided template more to core. As in, one post please.

And just to save some time, the same can be applied to the Hollow you're working on as well please.

accordingly edited at your request.

Alright thank you for that. Now there are a few issues with your profile here and I'm going to try to cover them all at once so this won't be an overly tedious affair.

Reiatsu Aura: Molestation

That needs to be changed to something far more appropriate. We're trying to keep things PG13, so anything like this in your profile (tentarape bit in personality and the molestation bit in the history) also needs to go/be reworded.

1835 - Indulges in eating his first victim, and several others within the years.

While this is fine, you make no real mention of it in your written history. If you could elaborate a bit more on his drive for human flesh that'd help others who read your profile have a deeper understanding of his character.

Free Skill: Ibukurogane - With such a gluttonous disposition, Rei's stomach acids have been seemingly fortified by nature; in such fashion, the boy can devour an array of mundane delicacies: anything from dirt, stone or tree bark, to most steels and again, flesh, with kudos to his cuspate enamel, with no harm to his biological makeup.

This sounds an awful lot like an ability and not a free skill, while I understand where you're going with it, it just won't fly as anything but an ability as it is I'm afraid.

Personal Ability 1: Shokushu - As Rei expresses his reiatsu in the form of an attack, his spiritual energies hover around either of his limbs to resemble a tentacle. His cordovan reiatsu is condensed further albeit its seemingly fluid state and can deal tremendous damage to those struck by it. He can also strangle people with this technique; the perk to lift things that weigh less than he is also possible with his initial ability


Can certainly see the Squid coming out in ya now, lol. But this is a little OP'd as of right now. I'd take out the bit about dealing tremendous damage for in the long run it'd have to come down to those vile things called stats. It needs a time limit and a cool down period as well please.

Soul Bind Object: A small piece of obsidian ore that Rei found one evening while exploring the caves of district two. When he flares his reiatsu upon its structure, the soul bind glows a shade of maroon, quite reminiscent to his expressed spiritual energy. The ore is toothed shaped, believed to be a piece of a squid's beak. He can use it in hand-to-hand combat if necessary as it is extremely sharp. Its length is about eighteen centimeters long, matching the size of most small knives.


Now while I see where you're going with this, one could easily mistake what you wrote as saying "It's a squid beak that is also obsidian." so perhaps a little rewording could be helpful there. Also you say it's quite sharp yet he can use it like a knife, is it wrapped in something so he doesn't slice his hand open when using it, or is only the point that's sharp? Another thing I'd clarify in case someone else gets their hands on it which is a possible.



And that should wrap up my summary of things for the time being =o

- reiatsu aura edited, hopefully that suffices. 

- cannibalism is stated within the history:

[/font][/ul]
added new sentences that should suffice for further explanation:

- history text cleaned up, hopefully sufficing.

- free skill edited. its not an ability, i just wanna make his eyes super se-- er, cool. just a bit of a buffed up description of the eye, please do not take this from meeeeeee.

- former free skill turned into skill 1, former s1 into s2 and former s2 into s3 (locked).

- stat/skill tree added to the (active) second tech.

- soul bind desc buffed. shivs ftw.[/blockquote]

Thank you for those edits, and I do apologize about the wait I wanted to just double check something before going ahead (and that took me longer than I would've liked to get to) so I do thank you for your patience.

Really there are only two things still jumping out at me right now. One of which is still in part of the history. If you could go into more detail as to why he's a cannibal, as in what drove him into breaking that social law of eating the flesh of another for the first time and caused him to continue on that path. If you could elaborate on that, we'd be good to go there.

As for the second, your new free skill. If you could give us a short rp example as to how that would work just so we've a better understanding of it that'd be great and would determine if it's passable or not, o.ob

Also, since I overlooked it until now. Abilities you are not starting with are not included in your profile until it comes time to actually unlock them, you can actually find that ruling in our guidelines here under rule number 17. My apologies for that, but on the bright side since you have them written up already you can stick the one you aren't choosing to start with on a notepad or something till then o.ob
