The Hollow Purifier
"To cleanse a soul tainted by the hollow's curse is no mere act of mercy—it's a reclamation of what was stolen. Redemption is not granted; it is fought for, shard by shard, until the soul is whole once more."
Renshō Arata (蓮生新)
(The Boogeyman)
Appearance
Arata's visual appearance is one of an eye-catcher. His unique flow of red, blue, and black. These mixture of colors jointed in the strands of his hair even from birth. As some may say that the Blue represents the calmness that eradicates off him while Red contrast the dominance he beholds. --- Heterochromia, an blessing from birth, where ones eyes differentiate from one another. In this case, Arata's eyes are completely utter- opposites; A ocean blue color rested upon his right, and a hot blood red--pink shining from his left. His appearance is one for the books. He stands around six foot / one; Arata's body is properly built for his height as he has an mesomorph of a build. Containing a proper mass and weight proportion.With this being said, Arata rocks rather longer hair, just enough where the length rests upon his mid -- lower section of his back. Just enough where the lengths of his distinctive, majestic hair rests upon his shoulders dangling off in the front; A wave of multiple colors, all of each different lengths, all of each admirable to look at.His face has rather a complex--complexion. His jawline being as sharp as the tip of a katana formed at it's newest state. His lines of symmetry from his eyes, his eyebrows, his ears; all forming into almost perfect complexion.
Personality
Arata's personality is a mixture between different grasps of his perspective and view on things. He generally is neutral, a calm aura radiating off him. He is often to be described as a nonchalant person, he doesn't like speaking to most people, as he picks up more of a sense of whom he should and shouldn't talk to. A sort of trigger that occurs when he does encounter people.However, when he does talk he is very passionate with his words, and his word choices. He doesn't like using the wrong vocabulary for anything, when it comes to describing or even at -- most talking to people. He believes that words hold a strong meaning behind them and people should really cherish what other people say. Even though this can go both ways, Arata makes sure that if he does say something negative, he sticks to it and means it.When it comes to Arata as a person, he's sincere and genuine. He tries to keep a thick layer of trust on-top of his shoulders for the people he likes. Especially his fiancée.
The First Hybrid.
(Shini-Hollow)
Arata was born like an average human, He was in the higher ranks of Mid--Class, as just like everyone else, he lived an average life amongst the World of Living. His father was a businessman for the next generation of technology, something he had worked on himself and built from it. His mother was a real estate agent who stayed most of the time inside the house, working from home; only leaving when she needed to. Arata's parent's love was unconditional, something that was almost a fantasy to him. Something so unrealistic, he wanted it to happen to him one day. .However, Arata around his early double-digit years (15+) started to see things, these creatures at night. Horrific creatures they were, and he would always try his best to avoid them. Sometimes he saw them tormenting people, however, he'd turn the other away going on with his way. As it wasn't his problem whatsoever.No one really fascinated him to that standard really for a long time, throughout middle and high-school. Until shortly after high school, while in college he encountered a girl in a supermarket not so far from his apartment, she was the cashier for Arata as he was going out late at night for groceries. When he gazed at her, he took a second look and stared at her. Not acknowledging anything but her appearance, he thought she was unconditionally beautiful, a sky full of stars. As he was ringed with the groceries, he thought really nothing of it. Shrugging it off, as he assumed she had someone anyways. It was fate, he thought, a fate that was already sealed.But Arata couldn't get over her. Ever since that day, he has seen her at his late night grocery shopping every. single. time. And he chooses her, every time without a second thought behind it. Arata began writing about this girl, making short poems about her, describing her appearance, her beauty and elegance.Radiant of Grace" In her smile lies the morning light,
A soft glow that makes the day bright.
With every step, she paints the air,
A dance of beauty beyond compare.""Her laughter rings like a songbird's call,
A melody that enchants us all.
In gentle whispers of her flow,
The world discovers what love can show."One day, he was in line as he was getting ringed up. He finally asked her, who she was. . and if she'd give him the blessing to take her out one day. Surprisingly, she felt the same way about Arata, she was overwhelmed with emotions at first. However, she agreed and took his hand. The rest is history, as he did end up putting a ring on her finger, now is currently engaged to her.Moreover, with her in his life, Arata's perspective on helping people really changed. Due to his fiancée, he did indeed help out more, especially these encounters with these creatures at night. Whenever he did see them, He would distract them for long periods of time. It seemed that they would just get killed that way, if he held on long enough. Not fearing these hollows whatsoever.
The Awakened Calamity;
Gyōan no Mai
The Calamity of Gyōan no Mai is a Hollowfied Zanpakuto, resulting from Arata being a hybrid, the Zanpakuto became ''corrupt'' in it's way of manifestation. Gyōan no Mai, is a Yin & Yang Zanpakuto, having two unique and divergent abilities into one. With this being said, Yin is the "Light" side often referred to The Shinigami side of Arata's hybrid, Thus while Yang refers to the Hollowfied side. Yin & Yang being used together in this concept, furthermore more as a Duality, a balance between them both. However, both having too; their own sides. In addition to that, with this said balance between them both, they can too benefit one another in a unique way. As seen with the actual Yin & Yang concept, where every good there is a hint of bad, every bad there's a hint of good, grasping the general idea from that concept as well. Lastly, as far as the concept goes, His name; The Hollow Purifier relates to his Shikai Yin and Yang, as hollows are just lost souls. In this case, Yang, where throughout all that horrific-ness they carry. There is still a good resided in them that must be purified, and released free.Yin, in the Shikai state is manifested through the Base Zanpakuto, meaning in theory, the Shikai remains always activated. However, the call out command fully "wakening up" the Zanpakuto (By waking up the blade, through the call-out command, it begins making the blade glow.) This side is supposed to represent the Shinigami side within Arata, as his abilities aside in this balance (Yin) are based around the Blade of the Zanpakuto.In contrast, Yang, In the Shikai state is manifested through the Base Zanpakuto as well, however, it completely eradicates the blade as a whole. Absorbing the blade as a whole. Moreover, within this side, Arata turns into a Hollowfied Beast, thus increasing his Strength, Speed, Endurance, and etc. Within this form, His fist mimics the blade. Unlike Yin, The attacks that are created here, come from Body of Arata, as in his Fist, Feet, Hair, etc. In this state, almost being "one" with the Zanpakuto. This side takes on a Lion - Demonic type appearance. Lion representing courage, justice, pride, and dominance. All fitting for Arata's persona, as the Demonic side stems for fear, wrath, and despair.Continuing on with Yang, there are two transformations Arata can manifest, a Hybrid state and a Full transformed state. Starting with the Hybrid state, instead of absorbing the blade, Arata can fight with his Zanpakuto and use his Yin abilities whilst still being in his Hybrid state, this Hybrid state allows for an increase in overall stats, his endurance, his speed, his strength which all of them would boost his ability to fight in combat. Although this boost isn't as major as his Full transformed state, this would be an overall benefit instead of fully transform, being able to be versatile in combat and stretch out his battles with different outcomes and capabilities. As stated as before, this Hybrid state is supposed to enhance the capabilities of the battle, being able to endure, or override people with strength coming within the hybrid state. Moving to Full transformation, the blade being completely gone in this state, Unlike Yin where the blade casts ( or any Zanpakuto) the abilities, it comes solely from Arata 'lone. Within this state, Arata has major increases to his overall stats as stated previously, in order to throw shit at his opponents, Arata would have to be able to take it in return.On the other - hand with Yin, Yin is the Zanpakuto & Blade themselves. Yin unlike Yang, doesn't transform. However, it summons Yin (Light) as a type of Magic (for example, Duality from Type - Soul; The light side). Manifesting things with light to use. Yin focuses on techniques that involve swift, and precise attacks. Unlike Yang, with emphasizes powerful, aggressive moves that can deal significant damage. Furthermore, just like how Yang can benefit Yin in a specific way. Yin would first change the visual appearance of the Beast, into a whiter toned character. Secondly, the attacks of Yang's Beast transformation would be able to be casted at a faster rate, (For example, instead of taking 3 turns to charge a kamehameha it'd take 2. Allowing -1 faster rate.) with this, the attacks are imbued with a "light" phenomenon, if there is a significance different in power between the user and Arata has the advantage, it would cause a blinding light. However, if the roles were reversed, this light wouldn't do anything to the opponent. In contrast, the Yin can to speed up the abilities of certain attacks, if it's not a complicated attack, and more of a base attack (For example, a vertical on-going claw slash that attacks the opponent) Yin can speed it up slightly, to catch up to the opponent (a .5 second difference, nothing game-changing however can benefit if one tries to run or anything.)

暁闇天輪舞 - (Gyōan Tenrin no Mai) - "Celestial Dance of Dawn and Dusk" as stated above, is the Bankai for Gyōan no Mai. With this Bankai, It forms an Odachi like blade, As it manifests Cataclysm. A Violent, large scale event for causing destruction and mass of said destruction. With this being said, it COMBINES Yin & Yang as one. Creating the Perfect Balance of Light and Darkness; Good & Evil. With this being said, combining swift and precise attacks with an emphasizing powerful, and aggressive blows all into one. Moreover, when activated, Arata manifests the same white color beast transformation if he was to stack yin on-top of yang, mentioned earlier. However, With an Odachi glowing black and white contrasting & blending the two aura's on the blade. This state offers enhanced versatility and potency. Furthermore, it combines the art of Yang where the user can manifest attacks from their body 'lone, and Yin's art where it manifests from the blade into one. Adding onto this, due to the Beastly form, The Odachi is mostly light weight.This Bankai as a whole is categorized as Dangerous. However, due to this; The Bankai itself is harder to achieve, and takes a little longer to fully master. Yet, don't let it disregard the fact that it provides immense improvements compared to the Shikai.
