Cain

ill be there for you

Gobu Kusun || male || asexual || unclassified
inhuman || 23 || 125

APPEARANCE

Standing seven feet tall from foot to mask-top, Cain weighs a measly 165 lbs due to his emaciated frame. After one hundred years, he has shed the uniform-black shroud common to newly formed Hollow for one vastly more humanoid in appearance, should all examples of humanity be found in college anatomy classes. Free of anything resembling a dermis, Cain's body is strictly reminiscent of bare musculature exposed to the open air, a fruit bereft of rind - save for his joints, which shed even the guise of musculature for the appearance of naught but bone. Further exception is taken with the hands and shoulders, each decorated in chitinous bone-like flesh that appear to form a sort of gauntlet and pauldron combination, though they provide no actual armored value to his body.

Cain's mask takes the shape of a distended diamond formation, widening at the top to accommodate a fashionable downward dip at the apex, forming a two-pronged extension that might pass for horn-like decoration in the dead of night. It is along the bottom-most corner of the mask that Cain's face rests, his eyes glowing brillaint blue from two slits just above the lip of the mask, his mouth perfectly flush with the lowest angle to only become visible when open, usually for the sake of removing a hungering bite from something or someone.

PERSONALITY

In death as in life, Cain is pure poison; a withering disease inflicted upon all within his immediate vicinity and, worse still, within the fact of his attention. As though a gluttonous plague, Cain desires only to take from those among him - not in the physical sense, necessarily, but instead in the act of mental piracy. It is an exquisite pleasure for Cain to impose his will and logics upon others, to bring them distress and cause them to act in a self-destructive manner. Cain's delight is taken from the tears shed in purloining a child's candy, and not from the sweets themselves.

Formerly skilled in the craft of social engineering, the socialite that was has since been consumed by the rage and hunger of a Hollow, causing Cain to be vastly less subtle or capable of working in the long-term than he would have been in a more sane setting. To this end, Cain now focuses on short-term intentions, commonly haunting well-to-do living and driving them to the brink of pure despair, culminating usually in driving them to taking their lives or more before feeding on the fresh-born Pluses that result.

Being a Hollow, Cain has lost his previously well-known talents for tact, patience, or a particularly quick wit. His presence has become overt and overbearing, his emotions worn on his sleeve, his anger quick to spill forth; this, of course, all when Cain is pushing forward some motivation or other. Without a plot, without some manner of goal to press, Cain is still and liable to simply stare into the void until, whether through exterior or interior stimulus, he is motivated into action. In this fugue state, Cain is often easy enough to speak to - assuming one would so casually speak to a Hollow - though he will usually be noncommittal and a rather blase conversationalist.

Speaking to his peeves and preferences, Cain finds comfort in the presence of the downtrodden or otherwise low-energy types of individual; they are, he finds, often the easiest types to in some manner effect, and rarely do they manage to surprise him. Even among the more energetic Cain may find comfort, as theirs is a truly delightful misery to behold. It is with the unflinchingly positive sorts of personality that Cain finds his rage mounting; those whose hope and natural internal brilliance shine despite whatever tragedies befall inspire absolute enmity. Similarly, nothing can drive him to frothing rage faster than either recovering or aiding in the recovery from his inflicted despairs.

HISTORY

Born in 1890 to a family of moderate affluence, Gobu Kusun was raised with all of the care and affection of a late 19th century well-to-do family: approximately none at all. The birth had been hard on his mother, and his father had always been one to suffer depression, leaving Kusun to be raised primarily by cousins, tutors, and the social elite. Charismatic to a fault, Kusun took to social interaction as a duck to water, and by his sixteenth birthday had acquired a varied circle of acquaintances. The passing of his parents shortly thereafter left him with a small fortune, a full estate, and a store-room of opiates stacked beyond comprehension.

With nobody to answer to but his own whims, Kusun went veritably mad with power; he became a conduit for rumors and backbiting, a sluicegate from which poured forth narcotics, the payment for which was demanded in either gossip or terrible favor - Kusun had no need of money, and all of his entertainment came from how he affected the world around him. All around him, Kusun played matchmaker and heartbreaker; the rumor mill churned in overtime as two lovebirds fell for one another just as every torrid secret of either party became the subject of hot gossip. Long established marriages crumbled, well-to-do families lost everything, the low-class became high. In ever pie Kusun's thumbs could be found, plucking the sweetest berries for himself.

It did not take too very long for the material world to fade away around Kusun, and at the age of 23, emaciated and withered with his body full more of opiate than nourishment, he died. With no heirs, his fortune and family claim was doled out to his most immediate still-functioning families, and his spirit found itself bound to the home within which all of machinations had churned. Seven long years of putting nothing but ill-intent into the world had poisoned the well for this home, inundating the already bound and hate-filled Plus with negative energies and karma; as the living all around him began piecing their lives back together, flourishing as flowers under a now-clear sky, Kusun railed and screamed against his chains, wanting nothing more than to sour once again the lives that thought they had been purged of him. It took two years of constant rage, but just as the new owners of his home - distant cousins, unawares of the legacy of Kusun and his machinations - came to live in and clean the home, his transformation was complete.

The Hollow haunted that home ferociously, hissing and growling in the ears of his male cousin, spitting vile lies to sour his heart and cast doubt on his loving wife. It took only three months for the Hollow to drive his cousin to viewing his world through the bottom of a bottle; only another one for him to drive that cousin into a blinding rage, forcing the man to commit a terrible murder-suicide that shocked their entire family. Both souls were immediately, violently devoured by the satisfied Kusun, who began to think of himself as Cain for the crimes he was determined to commit against his family.
Another generation of hapless family came to stay not very long after, needing to upgrade after the birth of their triplets from the meager home they had inhabited to the practical mansion of the Gobu clan. The first seeds were planted nary a day into their stay, when both parents were so busy moving belongings to mind all three children and, tragically, the triplets became twins. This began the rift that would grow between the parents, and set the theme for the long game Cain began to play. The children, key to continuing the game, Cain only put in enough danger to frighten the parents, to constantly put them at one another's throats for misguidance, for failure to watch. And so after nearly a decade of careful gardening, Cain plucked the flower of his male cousin's life before watching the children grow and finally leave the home.

This was Cain's general MO for several decades, haunting descendant after descendant, poisoning their lives and eventually devouring their souls. Only in the last couple of years as he taken to casting his net beyond the realm of family, skulking through the nights in natural search of greater sources of reiatsu to make miserable and devour. It is thorugh these most recent excursions Cain has come to learn of those butterflies-in-the-night that claim Plus when possible, the purported Death Gods that appear to be the diametric opposites of his kind. Though no contact with the Shinigami has been made to this point, he has heard other Hollow murmur about them, their cursed swords, and the threat they pose. Cain lusts for the very opportunity to as thoroughly ruin a Shinigami as he had his own family.

HOLLOW TECHNIQUES

LIST

[Hollow Technique List]
Name: Aterrrar (Terrify)
Class: Hollow Technique
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Tier: II
Description: Hollows represent the bane of comfort. Monstrous, loathsome, and vicious, hollows strike fear into pluses and shinigami alike. This technique capitalizes on the fear hollows create and takes it one step further. By emanating their dread reiatsu, some hollows can cause opponents of equal advantage or lower to be momentarily frozen in fear. The reiatsu emanated actually curls around their bodies like unseen manacles for about the same time as the shinigami kidou equivalent, Sai.

Name: Trampa De Telaraña (Trap Of Spider Web)
Class: Hollow Technique
Type: Binding
Range: 20 meters
Tier: III
Description: Just as many arachnids in the world of the living weave webs to catch their prey, so too have Hollows come up with an ingenious replica. Using either their hands or mouths to weave reiryoku into solid threads, the user can then cast it outwards as a powerful net at half bala speeds. The net quickly expands to become 20 feet wide, once it is cast forward, and if any small part of it so much as grazes the desired target, the rest of the net snaps towards it, in an attempt to tangle, wrap, and bind the target.

Name: Misil (Missiles)
Class: Hollow Technique
Type: Offensive
Range: 100 Meters
Tier: III
Description: Gathering reiatsu on the hand, the user can fire off five different reiatsu missiles, at a size equal to arrows. As the missiles are fired off, they will fly, at half bala speeds, in a wide area, before meeting together on the targeted area and exploding on a two yards range.

REIATSU FEATURES

Cain's Reiatsu emanates from his body as though a series of tendrils, offensive and disgusting in appearance and feel. They carry with them the inimitable scent of the ill, the odours of failing bodies and disease-ridden sweat.

HOLLOW POWERS ABILITIES

Maximum of four techniques in addition to Battle Skills. Max Tier IV for Adjuchas. Max Tier III for Unclassifed/Gillian.

Name: Exudar
Class: Hollow Power
Tier: II
Type: Offensive
Range: Short (2 meters)
Description: Exudar is a very tell-tale ability, as the preparatory movement is the visible appearance of Cain's Reiatsu as though a shroud, the red tentacle-like appendages waving about just around his body; initiated as a lunch, Cain has approximately six feet to encapture the intended wtihin his hands, else the energy will simply dissipate.

Upon capturing his prey in hand, Cain's Exudar will proceed to enwrap the opponent's chest and midsection (should the target be gratuitously larger than Cain, the seized limb would be the acceptable replacement) and encourage that individual's reiatsu, and stamina in turn, to drain from their body into the air; this energy is not absorbed, simply wastefully dumped into the environment, forcing the prey to become fatigued so much quicker. Exudar's effects end the moment the enemy escapes Cain's grasp.

Name: Sangrar
Class: Hollow Power
Tier: III
Type: Offensive
Range: Short (2 meters)
Description: Precisely the elder brother of Exudar, Sangrar promotes excessive bleeding from nonexistent wounds, simply drawing blood from flesh along whatever avenues the tentacles of reiatsu lay across the intended victim. Should a tentacle lay across an open wound, it will instead endorse that wound to weep blood at a more rapid rate. As with Exudar, escaping Cain's grasp will immediately end any unnatural bleeding.

Name: Grueso
Class: Hollow Power
Tier: I
Type: Passive
Range: Self
Description: Despite his sinewy and likely smooth appearance, Cain's flesh is rough and coarse as sandpaper, causing his grip to be more certain and most contact to cause abrasions in those he touches. These are no more serious than rubbing one's hands against coarse objects, unlikely to cause real harm, but it certainly leads to contact with Cain being as unpleasant as possible.

Name: Repelente
Class: Hollow Power
Tier: III
Type: Defensive
Range: Self
Description: A pulse of raw reiatsu in summation, Repelente is used as a moderate defense to cause an outward shove from his person that usually equates to approximately 2 feet; timed correctly, this pulse also assists in dampening the damage from projectile attacks, though obviously Cain must be able to see and predict the attack for the timing to be on point. The pulse itself is not powerful enough to deal any damage other than perhaps the brief loss of balance resultant from being shoved, equivalent to with Cain's own two arms.
