Standing a daunting sixteen feet tall, Dakuwaqa normally would be seen as a threatening hollow to fight against. But, wielding a mouth that is always stretched into a large grin makes that somehow impossible. Originally a shark in his unclassified days, his evolution from a Menos Grande has turned him into an anthropomorphic shark of sorts. Rather than having hair, the hollow possesses a strange shark-like body. This makes up the entirety of the top of his head, framing his brow bone with hammerhead shark cephalofoil before trailing back into a five foot long shark body equipped with its own fins. This hangs loosely while he is standing but while in the water, it seemingly appears to swim like a normal shark. It is usually this that the unspiritually aware see. Some even are able to remember its odd red hue.
His mask falls directly under the hammerhead portion and frames all of his lower face. It is flat, lacking a nose, with very angled cheekbones. It is completely white with the exception of a small soft pink triangle where his nose should be and his yellow shark eyes. His mouth is normally held in a large grin and is equipped with two rows of sharp serrated teeth. The rest of his body is for the most part standard. Just like the shark body head ornament, he has a very simple body coloring of red on the sides and back and white across the inner and belly. The majority of his height comes from his very long torso that is easily a human and a half in length. It bares no unique markings except for three slits along his ribs for where his gills are located. Just below that where a naval normally would be is his hollow hole, it large enough to fit a small cantaloupe inside. Arms are proportional to this large torso and are equipped with five webbed fingers for swimming and taloned fingernails for offense. His legs are shorter but thick with muscle. The feet only have two toes with a larger flipper-like webbing for ease in swimming.
As a hollow, the male finds little need to wear clothing but does so only to try and humanize himself more. As a part-time collector of seashells, majority of the items he wears are made from these such as the shell shoulder pads and ornate necklaces that wrap around his long neck. He also wears the occasional pearl that he harvest from large clams deep underwater. Clothing-wise is limited to a loincloth held on by a simple belt, concealing his lack of genitalia. Hollows can breed after all. He also always carries a large satchel wrapped around his frame and is mindful of his large dorsal fin. This satchel is filled with almost all of his shells and is off a simple navy blue shade.
PERSONALITY
There are many words that could be used to describe Dakuwaqa but perhaps the best one is “odd.” He is a vibrant individual that truly does not fit well into the shoes that the divine order has placed him under. Whereas most hollow become nothing more than mindless destructive beasts that consume the nearest energy source to try and quench their hunger, the shark is doing everything in his power to avoid such a fate. His bubbly personality and energetic soul is bountiful and carefree. He much rather prefers a swim through the ocean on a bright sun shining day or adding another seashell to his large collection than to consume wandering souls and feast on more hollow flesh.
Another good word to describe the male is “helpful.” Knowing that he has a great deal of strength and power, he uses it to assist others in anyway possible. Even as a baby hollow he spent his afternoon saving people from drowning and preventing ships from capsizing. He is genuinely a compassionate soul that would help an older woman across the street or fetch a cat from a tree in a heart beat (if he even had one of those). Though just because he has a heart of gold does not mean that everyone else can see passed his monster exterior. In a means to try and make his rows of serrated teeth appear friendly, Daku had quite a mouth on him in that he seemingly talks all the time. Some folks who have encountered him call him “Jabberjaw” after the cartoon character because he never seems to shut up. And just like a cartoon character, he certainly has his childish moments and is amazed by the littlest things.
But everyone has flaws. Though it is something he has tried to work out and erase from his being, he can not deny the fact that is a predator: a carnivore that has forced himself to go vegan. This means he is almost always in a state of starvation. The moment he smells fresh blood, this predator instinct inside of him triggers. It pumps up his musculature, makes his mouth water, and can even make him go feral. The larger amount spilled the greater the pull this has over him. It can turn him into a nearly unstoppable rabid beast. It is only after he has gotten his fill that the shark normally stops this craze…and its usually something that he immediately regrets afterwards.
HISTORY
Born on an island in Polynesia, the soul that would eventually become the hollow named “Dakuwaqa” was like many men in his culture: a fisherman. Day in and day out, he would paddle out to sea and free-dive to collect enough food to feed his family at home. However one day the waters were a bit rougher than usual and his boat capsized from the currents. This left him stranded very far from shore. Though try as he might to swim back, his body fell victim to fatigue and this caused him to drown. While his body died, his soul lingered on. As the chain broke free from his corpse that sank down to the bottom of the sea, he was naive and refused to move on. He watched as his village mourned his death and eventually moved on. He even watched as his family passed on but he never could follow with them.
One day, about thirty years after his death, the chain finally eroded away and he became a hollow. Taking the form of a shark, he continued on living in his homelands but praying on its citizens was not something he took part in. Whenever an event that would cause a fisherman like his former self to die, he would step in and do everything in his power to save them. Drowning folks literally swept up in gentle jaws before being dumped back on shore, failing boats kept afloat by his strong back. It was so common place that some of the more spiritually gifted saw and told stories of this shark-god. They called him “Dakuwaqa” which he even adopted with great honors. He couldn’t stay forever though. The hunger of a hollow, no matter how kind one’s spirit truly might be, eventually could overwhelm you. He was growing weak and in order to serve his people, he had to abandon the beautiful ocean for the desert of white sand.
Heuco Mundo was no cake walk. It was merciless place where violence and gore ruled. Every day was another battle, fighting other hollow to try and quench that hunger. Each successful attempt made him grow and evolve. It eventually made him amass into a gigantic Menos Grande. Of all his fights, he felt this was perhaps the most challenging. With so many souls, it was hard to outshine them all. Eventually though, his desire to return back to the warmth of the ocean motivated him to eventually win that battle and make his soul the most dominant.
A lot of years have passed since he has first turned into a hollow and so much more has changed. Returning back into the human world only recently, Dakuwaqa is very much lost. The village and people he watched over have converted into a 5 star resort and the oceans just aren’t as beautiful as they once were. Drawn to the area of Karakura due to the high amount of spiritual energies there, the shark occasionally peeks his head out from the water to chat wit the locals, use his height to pull cats from trees, or simply find someone to have a swim with. For a hollow, he pretty damn docile.

[B]ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD[/b] - [i]prince sidon[/i] – @shark
Name: Ensombreza Cobija (Shadow Blanket) Class: Hollow Technique Type: Defensive/Binding Range: 25 meters/Self Tier: III Description: The user shoots reiryoku into their own shadow, pulling it up around them like a thick, dark, slightly transparent blanket, hence the name. This is among the absolute fastest of all Hollow techniques in execution speed, being used for a last minute defense against fast attacks, such as Bala. One of the only weaknesses of this technique is that while the user is shielded with their own shadow, so too are they incapable of moving, until the shield is broken or dissipated by the user. The user is also capable of using this shadowy cover to trap an opponent at half bala speeds, using the target's shadow. The shadow can only rise up 7 feet from the ground to engulf either the user or the target, however once it comes in contact with what it is meant to cover, it can stretch over even the largest Gillian.
Name: Explosión sónica (Sonic Blast) Class: Hollow Technique Type: Offensive Range: (25 radial Meters) Tier: III Description: Gathering reiatsu into the whole body, the user forces the gathered reiatsu out of the body forcefully, into a burst out manner, that is able to form a sonic blast, traveling at Half Bala speeds, at a 360 degree area around them, making the ground crack and damaging from the force anyone in range.
Name: Rugido (Roar) Class: Hollow Technique Type: Offensive Range: 25 meters Tier: III Description: Many hollows have been known to give off a recognizable roar or scream before attacking. For the most part, this just seems to announce their presence and intimidate the prey they stalk, but for some hollows this roar can cause far more damage than simple intimidation. A hollow with this ability can scream with enough power to cause a shock-wave of sonic force, traveling at Cero Speeds, strong enough to crack the earth around it and force opponents of equal or lesser rank backwards, injuring their hearing and sense of balance.
Name: Disco Espiral [Spiral Disk] Class: Hollow Technique Type: Offensive Range: 50 Meters Tier: III Description: A powerful technique has the user using the energy itself on their hand or leg. The energy surrounds the target limb until it glows light blue. This technique when used correctly can turn the selected limb into a blade of pure energy. The blade of fire burns at a highly accelerated rate and being cut by something like this is dangerous to the body. It may feel like a regular cut but as the battle goes on, the cut made on to the body lowers the natural movement of the opponent by 1 advantage and damages them from within. Which only last for like two to three posts.
CUSTOM
BATTLE SKILLS
Name: Bala (Hollow Bullet) Class: Cero/Bala Type: Offensive Range: 100 Meters Tier: I Description: A weaker but quicker alternative to regular Cero blasts. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it at around twenty times the speed of a Cero.
Default ability for Arrancar and Adjuchas Hollow
Name: Cero (Hollow Flash) Class: Cero/Bala Type: Offensive Range: 100 Meters Tier: IV Description: Are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various places on the body. Only Menos, Arrancar, and Vizard have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently.
Default ability for Arrancar and Adjuchas/Gillian Hollow
ITEMS
Daku always carries a satchel filled with various colorful sea shells and items that he has found in the rivers, streams, and seas that surround Karakura.
REIATSU FEATURES
While calm, the hollow’s reiatsu is typically blue and smells of the ocean breeze. But when angry, it shifts into a more red hue and smells of blood.

HOLLOW POWERS ABILITIES
Name: Mariana's Depths Class: Hollow Power Tier: I, IV Type: Passive, Supplementary, Offensive Range: 0m-50m Description: When releasing his hollow powers, Dakuwaqa passively releases a powerful burst of spiritual pressure that expands around him over a range of 50m3. Much like being in the extremely deep areas of the ocean, this spiritual pressure weighs down everything around him and crushes them with great force. This makes breathing labored and movement difficult, reducing the speed of all effected by x2. By further focusing his reiryoku, Dakuwaqa may remove this hindering affect from a target or further enhance it. This enhancement encases the target in a Tier IV force of crushing energy at cero speeds and often leaves nothing more than a bloody mass behind.
Name: Low-Tide Class: Hollow Power Tier: III Type: Supplemental, Binding Range: 0m-50m Description: This technique alter's the effect of "Mariana's Depths" and may not be used while "High-Tide" is in use. By focusing his reiryoku, Dakuwaqa will have the spiritual pressure defined by his technique to quickly lower itself towards the ground, hovering at knee high height to the average human. Due to the high concentration of his spiritual pressure that is constantly pulling down, this energy feels as if trying to move through the current of a fast moving river. While trapped in this pressure, speed is reduced by x3, any attempt to "jump" or "exit" the pressure will result in the target slipping and falling, and also prevents any form of high-speed movement technique from being performed. This technique remains active until Dakuwaqa wills it and it reverts back to "Mariana's Trench." This technique can only remain active for up to five posts, in which it will immediately revert back to "Mariana's Trench."
Name: High-Tide Class: Hollow Power Tier: III Type: Passive, Supplemental Range: 0m-50m Description: This technique alter's the effect of "Mariana's Depths" and may not be used while "Low-Tide" is in use. By focusing his reiryoku, Dakuwaqa will have the spiritual pressure defined by his technique to quickly begin rising upwards. While this does not create enough "lift" for flight, the atmosphere essentially feels as if one is floating underneath water and almost weightless. This places individuals in a fighting field that they are not typically used to fighting in. While under the effects of this technique, targets are unable to "stand" on air and must "swim" to move. Because of this forced swim-based locomotion, Dakuwaqa proves to be a natural predator in the water and is able to swim at x3 speed. This technique remains active until Dakuwaqa wills it and it reverts back to "Mariana's Trench."
Name: Rip-Tide Class: Hollow Power Tier: I-IV Type: Offensive, Supplemental Range: 0m-50m Description: The power of "Mariana" is not the fact that it applies spiritual pressure to limit the effectiveness of his opponents but the fact it spreads his essence outwards over the range of 50m3. This allows the hollow to effectively launch a singular attack from any location where his pressure exists, usually in the form of blade-like cuts. These are launched by matching the shark's hand movements movements. At Tier I & Tier II, these attacks travel at bala speeds. At Tier III, these attacks travel at half-bala speeds. And at Tier IV, these attacks travel at cero speeds.
Bloodlust Better. I can let the boost slide with energy attacks and given drawbacks. But cooldowns are not altered. You follow by them. And there can be no refresher. Like working out, you can only boost your body so much before needing to take a breather.
Low tide It works - But you need a duration now since it is an activated effect.
Rip-tide Is it a post count or just multiple attacks? If multiple attacks, how many?
Sure- state a maximum duration on riptide, and a cooldown reflecting that.
Also, once again for bloodlust, it's nothing that I can't disallow the technique for, but I think you made a typo.
You state that if it's within 50 meters, it activates as an x3. Which is normally for a tier IV. But as I said, I would let it slide since the given drawbacks. But I won't let it be an x4. So I read on and indeed, you only state x2 and x3. So I think it's an error.
