Bleach ITP: Allan Crossdale

Allan Crossdale

Spiritually Empowered Dual Entity

Age: 17
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 143 ibs.

Appearance
Allan is on the tall side, usually standing slightly above those around him. He has a mess of black hair which hangs past his shoulders, which he sometimes fiddles with. He has a soft, flat face. The irises of his eyes are a bright red, the color of blood.
They glow slightly in the dark. He typically dresses in casual American clothing, almost always a T-shirt and jeans, excepting extreme temperatures. Almost always wears an unadorned fishing hat. He also carries a large back pack where he keeps a spare set of clothes, phone, first aid kit, and some basic survival gear, as well as his personal belongings. He hasn't taken this with him since he gained use of Kayi's apartment. Allan wears a small crescent moon pendant he received from Isara.
Allan is well muscled but not unusually so. He is clearly in good physical condition. He eats constantly, almost always having some sort of food on him at all times. Since his training, he has a large scar across his chest going from the left side of his collar bone to his right hip.

Personality
Allan is a generally upbeat and kind person, coming off positively to most people who he meets. He is very difficult to faze, able to allow negative events to roll off his back very easily. He can usually see the silver lining to any event. Despite this, he acts a big haggared at most times and rarely tries to start conversations. Occasionally, he acts aggressive and violent as a result of Soultaker's influence, but he is usually able to control himself.

Prior History
The origins of Allan's powers go very far back into history. Several thousand years ago, two very powerful Vasto Lordes class Hollows came to blows deep inside Hueco Mundo. Their battle raged for more than two weeks, but finally one managed to break the other and land a finishing blow. The loser, however, did not die.
It managed to escape into the human world, where it used one of its unique abilities to possess the fetus of an unborn child, devouring weak proto-soul contained therein and begin to heal it's fatal injuries by resting inside the flesh.
The possessed baby was eventually born, and the Hollow was still not healed. It found that it controlled the body of the child, serving as a soul in place of the one the Hollow had consumed. It also found that it could not leave. Resigned to its fate, it acted through the part of the child, slowly testing the limits of its abilities from within its fleshy prison. It would later murder its "parents" and flee, wandering the world. It's human body eventually grew old and frail, and then died.
Seemingly free at last, the Hollow then learned to its horror that it had gained a dependency on flesh, and it would slowly waste away outside of its casings. Weak and desperate, it repeated the process with another immature fetus, playing through the whole process of living and dying once more. Nothing changed, and the Hollow resigned itself to its new existence. It also rechristened itself Soultaker.
Soultaker decided against using its spiritual powers, as they were insignificant in its new form, and it could wreak plenty of havoc simply as a human. Some of the most heinous crimes in history were committed by a body possessed by Soultaker.
Soultaker managed to maintain this routine for a few millenia, eventually stretching into the present age. After its most recent "death," however, Soultaker was nowhere near any women in early pregnancy. It wandered for longer than it ever had too, and by the time it found a woman carrying a child, it was almost dead. It managed to enter the baby, but things were different this time: the child had a fully developed soul, and Soultaker was incapable of destroying it in its weakened state. Thus it was forced to share a body with the soul of a young boy.
The boy was named Allan when he was born.
Soultaker found, much to its chagrin, that the body's original soul was dominant, and had little spiritual awareness. He could do little more than whisper urges and compulsions to the other, controlling soul.
Allan Crossdale was a pretty regular American kid for most of his life, with no awareness of the destructive entity who shared his body, the occasional temptation to do violence excepted. He was well liked, made many friends, and was on good terms with his parents. When he was fifteen, however, his life was broken.
A weak Hollow attacked Allan when he was fifteen, sensing the tantalizing spiritual pressure actually belonging to Soultaker. Allan was nearly killed when it attacked, but the near death experience awakened his latent powers. Somehow, Soultaker's powers were near fully restored when active in a body with two souls. Allan destroyed the Hollow effortlessly, but the activation of his powers was enough catalyst for Soultaker to steal control of his body. Allan managed to eventually wrest control back, but by the time he did, Soultaker had slaughtered his entire town.
Moreover, Soultaker's actions had attracted the attention of the American Reaper Corps, who were dispatched to the scene when they sensed the awakening of Soultaker. Allan, confused and alone, was attacked. He managed, however, to activate his powers and escape. The Reaper Corps continue to look for him to this day.
Confused and on the run from very powerful enemies, Allan fled the country and began traveling, never staying in one place for too long and doing odd jobs to support himself, the constant whispers of the now audible Soultaker his sole companion. He has also experiment with his abilities to the point which he has a small degree of control over them.
He recently arrived in Japan, specifically J-city, having traveled across most of Europe and Asia already.

New History
Upon arrival in J-City, Allan's leaked Reiatsu disturbed the local Quincies, who upped the firepower of the Penitent Engine patrols while he was there. Newly arrived Quincy Templar Aayan tracked him down, and briefly conversed with Allan, who learned about Reiatsu and that he could be tracked through it. Aayan attacked Allan and severely beat him, unleashing Soultaker in the process, who easily turned the fight around until his flaring reiatsu attracted the weapons of the Penitent Engine, who warded him off. Despite the danger, Allan decided to stay in J-City to learn more about himself and the forces that affect him.

Soon afterwards, the fallen Espada Isara Wessmer was forcibly ejected into the mortal world. Allan and Kayi Tierra, another former Espada, both intercepted her arrival. Despite Kayi's strict warnings, Allan attempted to treat Isara's wounds, and eventually convinced Kayi to help as well. They managed to stem her bleeding and return her to consciousness, revealing the loss of her memories. Kayi, deciding it was safe, offered them both shelter in her home. Allan also learned how to use Sonido from mimicking Kayi.

Once home, Kayi demanded an explanation of Allan's identity, and he revealed it to little reaction. Kayi also revealed that she knew the meaning of Isara's Espada tattoo. Isara fell asleep, and Allan asked Kayi who she was and how she knew Isara. Kayi answered enigmatically, and Allan decided to respect her privacy. During the night, he worked to repair Soultaker's mental cage, with some success.

In the morning, he asked Kayi to train him to fight, and she agreed to do so if he could prove that he was worth training. Taking him to a remote field, she taught him the basics of both swordplay and Arrancar battle techniques. During this time, Allan gained better control of his Reiatsu, more control over his Cero, and the ability to use Bala, as well as learning the terminology associated with his abilities.

During this time, Allan met Captain Siegfried Bieber, introducing his presence to the Soul Society.

That night, Isara went searching for a Gigai and was assaulted by Von Geister's Templarios. Allan, sensing their power, hurried to their location to help Isara, along with two Quincies, Tyler, Wolfgang, and Captain Siegfried, as well as a strange guy in a coat. Allan made a large ass of himself after Soultaker managed to subtly influence his behavior, although he did manage to successfully talk Tsuo down from attacking him. After the Templarios left, he and Isara went back to Kayi's apartment.

Later, after Isara returned from Hueco Mundo, Allan talked with her about her promise to return to Hueco Mundo after time passed. He realized that he wasn't powerful enough to continue trying to fight as he had, and decided to leave for a while to train. Since then, he has only returned once to J-city, during the major Hollow invasion. During the invasion, he destroyed a number of regular Hollows without his mask, and used his full mask to destroy a Gillian. During the timeskip, he learned his new Hollow Baiting Reiatsu Technique and more or less finished his training. Both of his eyes also turned red. During this time, he took a brief trip to South America.

Allan returned after a month, greeting Isara and asking her to contact Captain Siegfried. He spoke briefly with the 13th division captain, asking for official acceptance from the Sereitei and a place to stay in the Rukongai. Siegfried was somewhat skeptical, but agreed to have Darius Kiljaeran speak with Allan. The next day, Allan was interviewed with Kiljaeren, who, after a relatively brief interview, left with as close to a positive impression of Allan as was possible.

When Alejandro attacked Isara, Allan observed the fight, catching Isara after she fainted after her win. He delivered her to a 13th division squad who healed her. At this point, Soultaker managed to break through Allan's blockade and take control of his body, forcing him to go berserk. Through the combined efforts of Isara, Tyler Halstein, and Shiaki Koujin, Soultaker was subdued and his control broken. Allan then fell into a coma, and was taken to the fourth division, where he began the process of recuperating.

While unconscious, Allan searched his Inner World for Soultaker. His confidence had been shattered by his earlier loss to and subsequent draw against Soultaker, which allowed the Hollow to take total control of Allan's Inner World. Stripped of this control, Allan was defeated again by Soultaker, who then swallowed him in an attempt to finally finish Allan off.

When Soultaker tried to absorb Allan's soul, however, it backfired spectacularly as the spirits of Allan's friends and family protected him from the assimilation progress and encouraged him to keep fighting. Bolstered, Allan broke free of Soultaker and proceeded to retake control of his world and beat Soultaker back into a state of submission. Job finished, Allan woke up.

After awakening, Allan was held by the 4th pending an evaluation of his psyche and some reevaluating of his ability to stay in the soul society. During this time, Allan had a casual conversation with one of Kiljaeran's personality shards, who encouraged him to stop dwelling on his mistakes and look on the bright side.

After his release, Allan returned to the mortal world and brooded for a while before coming to Isara and Kayi's aid when they were attacked by Elizabeth Rosemarie and Erscheinung Von Geister. After a tense standoff, both Espada left, leaving Allan with an intense dislike of Von Geister.

Some time later, Allan was detected by Gaidoku, who challenged him to a sparring match. The two were evenly matched, until Allan accidentally impaled the foreign Bount, inflicting mortal wounds on him but using a Garganta to heal him. The two parted.

Shortly there after, Allan witnessed the Quincy Shrine firing, and was awed by it. As a result, he briefly lost control of his Reiatsu. Nazo Metta sensed this and sent him an anonymous message to that effect, and Allan resealed his power. Afterwards, he conversed with Kayi briefly, and went with her when she tried to find Mori Kanji. After they found out that he was gone, they parted ways.

Allan later went briefly to an amusement park, but his visit coincided with one by the Ryoka. Deciding to stay out of their way, he left, but only after identifying Metta as the one who had previously contact him.

Visiting Kayi, Allan entered her apartment while she was speaking with Sunako, and went with her when she visited Tirano. Kayi entered after Allan. During the brief period between his and her arrival, Tirano spoke with Allan and offered to train him. Allan, curious, accepted.

Reiatsu: The color of darkened bone. In False Awakening, it's black.
Mask: Allan has two masks, one for False Awakening and one for First Awakening. The former is an oval of bone colored material, with two slits for eyes, and a large mouth opening ringed by stylized fangs. It is covered by swirling black patterns, and surrounded by a ruff of russet fur. The other is a more organic, animalistic mask, which covers his whole face flawlessly. It is pure white, and has a long snout, with simple black patterns.
Aura: Allan has immense spiritual pressure, and his presence can be felt for several miles when he isn't reigning it in, however, since he has learned to exert more control over it it is much harder to track him using it, and it's difficult to pinpoint his exact power level. He has also learned how to "purify" his Reiatsu, filtering out the Hollow parts of his Reiatsu in order to make him feel like a human to anyone sensing. This allows him to attract Hollows.
Eyes: Allan's eyes were heterochromatic, with a red (right) and brown (left) eye. He could only see spiritual beings with his right eye while unreleased, and using both to look at said beings was headache inducing. Now, both eyes are red with the full effects.
Senses: Allan has highly enhanced hearing, eye sight, touch, taste, and sense of smell. He can also take in spiritual energy through an olfactory medium, and can sense minute traces of or changes in Reiatsu in this manner. He can track beings of significant spiritual power in this way.
Inner World: Allan's mindscape is highly malleable due to its shared nature. Most of the time, while Soultaker is imprisoned, it is a titanic, blasted desert with thirteen suns, dominated by Soultaker's massive cage. When Soultaker escapes by diminishing himself, it turns into a primordial jungle. When Soultaker breaks Allan's control, it becomes an arctic wasteland. There are more, but Allan has only been to these iterations. All of its forms share the existence of seven gargantuan monoliths, black, erect rectangles dotting the landscape.
Powers
Allan's powers are unique, being very similar to those of an Arrancar.
Hollow Powers
Cero: Allan can use Cero.
Bala: Allan can use Bala by using a "finger gun" motion with his forefinger and middle finger.
Hierro: Allan has a very strong Hierro while Awakened, and still has some manner of Hierro even when dormant.
Pesquisa: Allan has honed his Pesquisa, allowing him to sense sources of spiritual energy.
Sonido: Allan can use Sonido.
Garganta: Allan can use Garganta.

Levels of Power
False Awakening
The first state of power Allan discovered, False Awakening grants him his initial abilities. In this form, he resembles a Vizard, wearing a mask and obtaining a simple Zanpakutou in a sheath on his right hip. Any clothing he is wearing is also subsumed into a black robe in this form when his full mask manifests. Allan can use his Hollow abilities or his Zanpakutou in this form, although he cannot perform a soul burial. He can also manifest two large, black wings that appear to be made out of the same material as the robe. In False awakening, Allan can use any of his Hollow powers and has one unique ability. He doesn't necessarily manifest all of his mask at once; the percent manifested is the percentage of his full abilities that he is using. Allan has fully mastered this form, and seems to have discarded it.
Cero Espada: By charging a Cero within his sword, Allan can release a much stronger version of it.
Cero Matanza: Allan charges a Cero, and when he releases it, it splits into thousands of very small strikes aimed at the target. Very hard to dodge.
Ladrones Guantelete: To be revealed.

First Awakening
The lowest legitimate release that Allan has used. When in this form, his mask manifests, and his hands and feet are covered in by claws identical to his Second awakening. He also gains a tail. Allan's senses are heightened in this form, to an extraordinary degree. He can extend his claws to great length by expending Reiatsu. Allan fights mostly with his claws in this form, relying on his speed and strength to bring down opponents. As Allan uses more power in this form, the claws begin to spread his Second Awakening exoskeleton down his arms and legs. When they reach his torso, he moves into Second Awakening. He can also skip directly to Second Awakening by summoning a Zanpakuto and performing a release.

Second Awakening
Allan keeps his claws, and his body is covered by a thick, tough exoskeleton. Allan has both the exoskeleton and an endoskeleton in this form, making his body extremely resilient to physical damage. His tail becomes longer and stronger, and grows a stinger on the tip. Allan also loses the ability to lengthen his claws. His head is encased in the mouth of an ornate helm designed to look like a beast's maw. Allan becomes extremely fast and strong in this form, but loses fine control over his cero. He can charge and fire two cero at once, now. Allan also gains limited control over his bones, allowing him to make weapons or extra armor out of them, or put them to other purposes. He can still control them if they are separated from his body.
Cero Marmotreto: To initiate this move, Allan needs to drop to all fours. He then charges a cero in his mouth, which emerges as a massive, extremely powerful blast.
Engranaje Hoja: Allan uses pure spiritual energy to create a disk of white energy about a foot in diameter. The disk is ringed by small blades which curve out from the edges. The disk spins very rapidly, and can cut through almost anything.
