[Character name] Neliel Tu Odershevank
[Age] normal physical appearance – approx. 8 years old; actual physical appearance – 20 years old; actual age – really old; mental age – stuck somewhere between 8 and 20
[Canon] Bleach
[Point in time taken from canon] Chapter 248; after chasing after Ichigo and the others into Los Noches
[Background] Neliel was originally one of the Espada serving Aizen. Hollows are human souls which fail to successfully pass over into Soul Society for whatever reason. They live off of the souls of other humans, and are classified by strength. Hollows that grow strong by eating a large number of souls and their fellow Hollow, evolve and grow stronger and eventually regain their human consciousness. Those who have achieved that level are called Arrancar. The ten strongest Arrancar make up the Espada. Those seats change as various Arrancar die or become stronger. They are ranked one to ten, one being the strongest and ten being the weakest. Numbers eleven and so on are numbered in the order they were born. And those Arrancar with a three digit number are those who used to be Espada but were removed from that position without dying first. Nel’s rank was third amongst the Espada initially. She served Aizen, same as all the Espada did, and had two Fraccion: Pesche Guatiche and Dondochakka, who were like brothers and guardians to her.
Little is shown of her past as a member of the Espada, but what we do see is that she’s no amateur to battle. She’s calm in the face of it, but has a strong moral code which seems different from most other Espada. Nel fights for a reason, only fighting and only killing when necessary. She would rather spend her time with Dondochakka and Pesche or reading rather than fighting.
But it’s that about her which irritates Nnoitra, one of the other Espada, and brings about his scheme to knock her down a peg. In the process he cracks the mask on her head. When it was smashed, her powers became impossible to focus and she regressed into a child-like body and lost her memories. Pesche and Dondochakka left Los Noches with her, and realizing that her memories had been lost, told her that they were her brothers. They continued to look after her in order to keep her safe in her vulnerable form and kept her entertained.
And for a while she knew no better. She simply roamed the desert with her two brothers and their “pet” Bawabawa, until substitute Shinigami Ichigo and his crew came to Los Noches to rescue Orihime from Aizen and the Arrancar. She feared him, but was eventually won over by him, choosing to assist him in breaking into the facility. And though he tries to leave her so that she won’t be treated as a traitor, she ignores that and chases him into the building anyway, knowing on some level that it’s putting her in greater danger.
[Personality] Before her mask was split and her memories were lost, Nel was a calm and peaceful young woman. She enjoyed reading over fighting or sparring, and enjoyed spending time with her Fraccion.
After losing her memories we see her mental age decrease as well, although there are hints that it’s not quite as young as her physical appearance. The fact that she identifies herself as a masochist and seems to have a good grasp on what that means being one of those hints. In her child form, her speech includes a lisp that characterizes her childish speech. It’s distinct, but not enough to make it difficult to understand. She shows the intelligence of someone a few years older, but not the same level she once possessed. As a child, she is completely carefree and pure. She spends a lot of her time playing games like endless tag with her brothers out on the sandy desert. She likes to sound independent, but she is very dependent upon Pesche and Dondochakka, and later, upon Ichigo as well.
In her small form, she is very vulnerable, and actually quite clumsy. But she’s lively and cheerful and always manages to get herself back up on her feet again. And there are times when she can be rather dense and miss the obvious, such as failing to recognize Ichigo as a Shinigami when they first met. And when she does realize, she jumps to alarm. Her emotions are rather wide and varied when she gets worked up. And like a child she does get worked up rather easily.
Other times she will come off sounding very wise. She talks about women like she is one, and is very big on men acting respectable towards them and lectures Ichigo on acting properly towards ladies. But all the same she can get rather snippy and protective over Ichigo. As a child, Nel is very emotional, and acts on impulse more than anything, chasing after Ichigo because she didn’t want to lose him and because she had had fun with him; all logic that is very childish and clingy, based on a rather short period of time.
Nel is also a masochist who cries and goes on during her games and later points out that she was having fun and getting into it. She knows and understands what that is and what she is. But she’s also weak compared to her former self and fearful of those stronger than her. She worries about Ichigo in his fights and even though she’s scared, she also pushes her luck and rushes to his aid once in a daring attempt to protect him. Protecting the people she cares about is a reflex, even if she feels she doesn’t have the power to do it.
Her insults can be rather crude and dirty, fitting of someone much older than she is. However, it’s interesting because in her older form, she isn’t the sort to toss around insults. Her words are meaningful and weighed carefully, not tossed out without care. In her older form she is much more difficult to upset, however her weakness always remains those closest to her, such as her brothers and Ichigo. Even in her older form, Nel retains a lighthearted, playful nature at times, and with Ichigo, we see that even she has moments of excitement where she forgets herself and acts on impulse rather than common sense.
But one of the most important things that remains unchanged is that she dislikes fighting, and always searches for a reason. She thinks fighting for the sake of fighting is foolish and childish and seeks to prevent conflict when possible rather than needlessly fight. She is passive, and does her best to avoid conflict. Even when conflict is pointed at her, she would rather calmly walk away than feed into that conflict and hurt people.
[Abilities] In her child-like form, she is still able to perform her doble cero; or the ability to consume the cero attacks of other Arrancar and spit them back with her own power added to it. Her vomit also contains weak healing properties (though she calls it spit because it looks like spit). She reaches in and massages her own uvula to produce it in large quantities. She can also perform something similar to an Arrancar’s Sonido which she calls Chokasoku or “Super Acceleration” to double her speed in a flash (during this the eyes on her skull glow). It’s also noted that the skull on her head that she wears (which is now cracked) was what contains her reiatsu, or her powers. And that with it cracked, it’s nearly impossible for her to contain it.
Under great emotional stress, she can turn back into her adult form, but if she isn’t careful or tries to overdo it, she’ll revert back to her smaller, child form.
In adult form, her speed is naturally increased due to her ability to use the Arrancar technique called Sonido. And she is a master of this quick movement, even amongst the other Espada. It allows her to sneak up on her opponents from other sides and surprise them, or avoid attacks coming at her. Hierro is the ability Arrancar have to condense their spiritual power and create a strong layer of steel-like skin. The strength of this ability is based on the strength of their spiritual power and is relative to their strength.
In her older form, she can use her Resurreccion with the release command “Declare” and fight in her true Arrancar form, which is that of something similar to a centaur, with a slightly developed mask and added armor on her arms. Her sword (named Gamuza) becomes a double-sided lance of impressive size. The only skill we have seen her use in this form is Lanzador Verde.
In her released form, she is stronger still and her spiritual power is also enhanced.
[Other important stuff] She has noted that in her child form she cannot even say her full name.
[Sample Post]
[First Person]
[The screen shows a very close up of a young girl’s face for a second… full of tears and snot. Lovely. That’s just for a second, with a bit of huffing and sniffling, before—The Dreamberry is being moved all over. She doesn’t realize that it’s recording or that she should be talking to it. It’s just another strange thing she found, picked up (and put in her mouth previously to see if it tasted good).]
ITSYUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--!!!!!!!!
W-where’d you go Itsyugo…? Pesche? Dondochakka? Bawabawa….?!
[The noise clears for a moment. She knows they won’t understand if she screams through the tears and snot, but… At the moment she’s a little emotional.]
Dey weft wifout me…
[And she hates being left alone. Especially if it has to be like this…]
Why’d dey abandon me?
[Another short sniffle.]
Where am I? I gotta go find dem… Dey could be wost…
[Third Person] The city is cold and covered in snow, but there are still people roaming it’s streets. Only a few here and there, but they give the city a little more color. Most of them aren’t looking around, more interested in getting to their destination and back as quickly as possible. But not this little ball of energy you can catch a glimpse of, trotting through, in between snow banks. She’s poorly dressed, especially for the weather, wearing a torn little tunic of sorts, but she doesn’t look bothered at all, even if her feet are bare. No. She’s watching all the people around her with big, wide, child-like eyes.
She looks lost. Grayish green eyes appear to be looking for someone. More specifically, she’s looking for a few people but they don’t seem to be anywhere. All the sand is gone and it’s light out. Nel is confused by all these things she’s unaccustomed to. It’s always night time in Los Noches, and the sand covers everything. And these people don’t look anything at all like Hollow or Arrancar.
But Nel’s a big girl. Although she trips a few times, she continues to get back up. Rather than worrying, she knows her brothers will come find her soon. Maybe she should start a game until they got here…
She picks the first person she sees and looks up at them with wide innocent eyes. “Let’s pway a game!” If she created a game of eternal tag that stretched across the city, surely her friends would find her and then she could go help Ichigo and they could all go back to Los Noches together.
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Nel is a complex character, but from this point, Somarium will get to enjoy a young, child-like girl, likely to get into all sorts of fun and excitement. Her being there will allow for a great deal of excitement and humor. I am certain of it. A character like her has a lot of potential and a lot of ideas.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] No meta-gaming. Because it’s always better to see the results of characters learning or being in the dark the proper way, and more interesting too. When people don’t do it that way it just gets difficult to work with and irritating because it’s really not realistic to have characters know everything a player can see. It just doesn’t work that way.
[Any questions?] Nope, nothing.
