Name: Ravana
Age: appeares to be in his mid 20's
Gender: Male
Personality:
Despite having a serious appearance, Ravana is usually a nice guy. Because of his position as captain, he is serious when it comes to work, and holds his subordinates to a high standard. When he's not busy being a captain, Ravana usually acts more laid back, and can even be found relaxing whit his subordinates. When on a mission, Ravana usually keeps somewhat quiet, only saying what needs to be said until the mission is over, unless it is a longer mission. Ravana can also been seen as somewhat compassionate, although he tends to practice tough love, often allowing others to learn the hard way. He will, however, be there for them with support and advice.
During battle, Ravana is usually very serious, focusing mainly on the battle. Since he is a captain, he is much more aware of what is on the battle field, and prefers to fight away from anywhere that is too crowded or has too many trees and such. He is also very concerned about his comrades that may be fighting alongside him, and when fighting with them, he is usually noticeably less reactive to attacks directed at his own person. He does, however, tend to try and play this down, trying to hide his concern for his subordinates so that they can learn to fight for themselves and become stronger.
When it comes to the ladies, Ravana is usually unsuccessful when it comes to love, but usually makes friends with them easily. Though he may be a bit internally shy around girls, he does not usually show this in his attitude. When not working, Ravana prefers to sit and watch nature, or train. He also enjoys Sake and other alcoholic beverages when relaxing. His favorite food is dumplings, prepared almost any way. He enjoys training, reading, relaxing with his subordinates, and solving puzzles. He dislikes the arrogant people, leaving others behind, and spiders. His only true fear is not being strong enough to lead and protect his squad.
Ravana is the captain of the 3rd squad of the Gotie 13
Appearance:
Zanpaktou Spirit:
Name: "Dominus Pascit Me" (lit. The Lord is my Shepherd; Old/Original Latin)
Gender: Female
Personality:
Dominus is a very gentle spirit, and takes the celestial form of an Angel. Because of this, she is slow to anger and quick in forgiveness. She speaks with a heavenly voice, able to soothe even the blackest of hearts with her voice. She treats everyone with respect, even if they do not return it. However, despite all of this, if you ensue her wrath, you will regret it. She is one of the great guardian Angels, and is very powerful, despite her meek appearance. She can also physically manifest herself into the real world, but does this rarely. All in all, she is a gentle protector.
Zanpaktou:
Unreleased form: (As seen in Ravana's appearance)
"Dominus Pascit Me" takes the form of a slender katana with a cross pendant attached to the hilt. It's sheath is pure white, and the blade is made of a silver metal. When in the sun, the blade will shine brightly, as if it is blessed with the power of God. It is a bit longer than a usual Zanpaktou, and Ravana wears the sheath across his back.
Release Phrase: "With the Lord as my shepherd and this blade as my shield, I shall strike down evil in the name of justice, Dominus Pascit Me!"
Shikai:
In it's Shikai, "Dominus Pascit Me" takes the form of a long, two-handed sword with a cross as the hilt-guard. The blade can also be surrounded with a blue ethereal flame.
Affinity: Holy
Special Abilities:
Enhanced Strength
Ravana receives a boost of strength in his Shikai, just like any other shinigami.
Enhanced Speed
Ravana receives a boost of speed in his Shikai, just like any other shinigami.
Sanctus Flamma (lit; Holy or Sacred/Saint Flame; Latin)
With this ability, Ravana can summon a light blue ethereal flames that can envelop his sword or to blaze up out of the ground. The flames are special in that they are not of the fire element, but of a holy affinity, allowing them to hurt even fire wielders with their flames. The flames are quite strong, and can completely scorch a weaker hollow. However, the stronger the opponent, the more they will be able to resist it's flames. No matter how strong they are, they will still be damaged. Ravana can use these flames for both offense and defense. For defense, he can call up a wall of the blue flames to protect himself or someone else from an incoming attack, like a cero.
Lux Lucis (lit; The Light; Latin)
With this ability, Ravana can condense the energy of light into it's purest form and use it as an attack. Because of this the beam of light is very narrow, but it is powerful enough to scorch anything in its path. The beam can only be held for about 5 to 10 seconds in his shikai, but in that limited amount of time, Ravana can move his sword, which is firing the beam, to have the beam move and follow his opponent.
Dominatio Crux Crucis (lit; The Lord's Cross; Latin)
This is Ravana's most powerful technique, and can be extremely devastating to his opponents. However, it is not at full power until Ravana is in his Bankai. In his Shikai, Ravana uses a slightly weaker version of this attack. To use this technique, Ravana must first recite the name of his Zanpaktou, and then the name of the technique. After doing so, a large, wooden cross covered in blue ethereal flames appears out of nowhere behind his opponent, and chains shoot out from the ends of it, tying his opponent to the cross. Then, three nails made out of reatisu appear and stab through both of their wrists and through their ankles. Ravana then charges all of the ethereal flames he can into a condensed blast in his sword and looses it at his opponent, scorching them in the holy flames. This technique can be very painful to his opponent, and if it does not kill them, they will be severely injured. This technique also takes a lot from Ravana, and he usually has to go into his Bankai if he wishes to fight on after using this technique.
Bankai: Name: "Dominus pascit me, et nihil mihi deerit" (lit; The Lord is my Shepherd, of whom shall I be Afraid?; Old/Original Latin)
Appearance:
Affinity: holy
Special Abilities:
Enhanced Strength
Ravana receives a boost of strength in his Bankai, just like any other shinigami. It is much greater than the boost he receives in his Shikai.
Enhanced Speed
Ravana receives a boost of speed in his Bankai, just like any other shinigami. It is much greater than the boost he receives in his Shikai.
Enhanced Sanctus Flamma
In his Bankai, Ravana can use his Scantus Flamma with much more efficiency and control, able to control the paths the flames take over longer distances, and with greater power. He can also summon many more of the flames, all at a stronger power than his shikai.
Vox Vocis of Deus (lit; The Voice of God; Latin)
With this technique, Ravana holds up his sword, and says the name of this technique. Upon doing this, a loud sound emanates from the sword that is so powerful, even the strongest of foe's must cover their ears. Ravana states that "Us mortal beings cannot comprehend the voice of God, thus forth, it drives men mad." This explains why the attack is simply just a loud voice. If used against an Angel, it will still affect them, but they will be a ble to comprehend what the voice is saying.
Dominatio Dextera (lit, The Right Hand of the Lord; Latin)
To use this Technique, Ravana holds his sword up high, pointing towards the heavens, and shouts out the technique's name. Upon doing so, the sky seemingly split's apart as the power of a hundred angel's comes forth. Ravana uses this power to create one mighty blow that comes crashing down upon his opponent with mighty force. Although it can be dodged, it will usually send debris flying from where it hit, using thoes as projectiles to hit his opponent if the dodged.
Enhanced Lux Lucis
In his Bankai, The "Lux Lucis" ability becomes much more powerful, and has a longer duration. The beam fired is also a bit wider, but not much.
Enhanced Dominatio Crux Crucis
As in his Shikai, Ravana must do the appropriate preperations to use the attack. However, in his Bankai, there is a tremendous difference in the power level of the attack. Because of it's damaging effect and drain on Ravana, he usually only uses it as a finishing attack.
Bankai Final Form: Seraphim
Ravana's Bankai has a final form that can be used when he is pushed to the very limits of his being. In it, he takes the form of a true Seraphim, and it seems as if he almost transcends the powers of a shinigami. This power seems to be closely linked to that of an Angel's final form, but because it is an ability of his Zanpaktou, the true nature of this link is unknown. The form will increase Ravana's powers tremendously, but afterwords, if he wins, he will be left in a serious condition and must be brought to medical attention immediately.
Ravana was born in one of the lower Rukongai districts of the Soul Society. He never had any parent figures, and so had to fend for himself and and matured very quickly. As he grew older, Ravana himself became sort of an older brother-like figure to some of the other orphans of the Rukongai districts where he lived. Because of this, he also trained to become strong enough to protect thoes who looked up to him. As he continued to grow, Ravana noticed more and more a desire to become a shinigami. He had always wanted to become one, but he had always been busy taking care of himself and the others. Now, however, he decided to actually apply himself.
After another year, Ravana took the entrance exams to enter the shinigami academy. Despite not being as good in kido as some of the other applicants, he was already very good at sword and hand-to-hand fighting, and showed great potental, which was enough to get him in. Once in, Ravana had a sense of duty to attain high marks in all areas of study. Because he had matured quickly, he was able to accel in his studies. He was easily able to pass, graduate, and even land himself a seated position in a squad.
During his time at the Shinigami Academy, Ravana first met his two Zanpaktou spirits. Although at first, he didn't get along with them at all, disliking their personalities, he quickly learned to get along with them and trust them while fighting. Because of the rarity of his spirits, Ravana was seen as an oddity, and was somewhat distant from some of the others.
After graduating, Ravana entered the 3rd Squad, back before Aizen's defection, under Gin, and even attained a seated position, 7th seat. Durring his time as 7th seat, Ravana continually proved his worth to his captain and to the rest of his squad. Despite what others may have thought about his captain, Ravana was very loyal to Gin, at least while he was his captain. Because of this loyalty and him constantly proving his worth, Ravana was quickly promoted up the "ladder", attaining the 3rd seat of the 3rd division. He attained this rank shortly before Gin defected from the Soul Society.
The night Gin defected, after his fight with Hitsugaya, Ravana also confronted him. At first, Gin tried to lure Ravana into joining him (though this was just a trap to get him out of the way). Although Ravana was loyal to his captain, he had a higher sense of duty towards the Soul Society. He then drew his sword and was prepared to stop his captain. However, ravana was easily outmatched, being beaten by just one attack from Gin's Shikai. Gin chose not to kill Ravana, as that would have cost him even more time, and just left him there wounded. As he lay there, waiting for one of the 4th squad medics, Ravana swore to himself that he would become stronger, even stronger than Gin, and lead his squad, the 3rd squad.
After recovering, Ravana began training to take over the 3rd squad, even achieving Bankai in this amount of time (as he had already been training for years). Before the "Winter War" with Aizen, Ravana took the captains proficiency test and passed, beating both Kenpachi and Byakuya to pass. However, because of the state of the 3rd Division, Ravana stayed back to defend the Soul Society in case Aizen attacked it and to begin reforming his squad. Because of this, he was not able to battle Gin on the field and test the effects of his training.
