Hollows
Hollows are residents of the plane of Hueco Mundo. They are evil spirits, born of souls who have been corrupted. Canonically, Hollows are large inhuman monsters with unique powers to each and every one. That being said, at BLS, player-character Hollows have the option to be humanoid if they like, in order to make them more attractive to play. Instead, the designation of Gillian, Adhucha, and Vasto Lorde will be used to identify what level of evolution a Hollow has achieved. Hollows have an insatiable hunger for souls, devouring the souls of those they kill. As a result, they have a primal instinct to kill. Hollows are notoriously hard to kill; even cleaved in half, they may survive, and the only way to guarantee their death is destroying the mask on their face.
Hollow Powers
Innate Power | Hollows are born with a power unique to them. The initial version of it is simple, and doesn't allow for much variation; however, as the Hollow evolves, this unique power becomes far more powerful.
Cero | Cero is an offensive energy-based technique that scales off of Reiatsu, and takes the form of a blast of energy. With Tier Points in Cero, people can even create their own variatians. Cero are uniquely more powerful than most other offensive abilities of the same level, with their power being calculated as though the Cero is 1 level higher. All Hollows have access to Basic Cero and Basic Bala
Super-Fast Regeneration | All Hollows have Basic Super-Fast Regeneration, but a tier point can exchange this for Expert Super-Fast regeneration. As a Hollow's flesh is made entirely of Reishi and Reiatsu, they form their spiritual pressure in a way so that it reforms injuries.
Name: Basic Super-Fast Regeneration
Appearance: A Hollow regenerates damage they sustain. It is fast enough that a person can actually watch their body reform as a mass of visible spirit pressure forms, and the "flesh" of a hollow forms beneath that.
Description: A Hollow who sustains wounds begins healing them in the following post. Minor injuries heal in the post after that, and major injuries finish healing in the second post after they start. Lost limbs heal in the third post after they start. All hollows start with this ability.
Name: Expert Super-Fast Regeneration
Appearance: A Hollow regenerates damage they sustain. It is fast enough that a person can actually watch their body reform as a mass of visible spirit pressure forms, and the "flesh" of a hollow forms beneath that.
Description: A Hollow who sustains wounds begins healing them in that same post. Minor injuries heal in the post after that, and major injuries finish healing in the second post after they start. Lost limbs heal in the third post after they start. Requires Super-Fast Regeneration perk.
Tier Points for Hollows
Arrancars
Arrancars are a unique type of Hollow that has gained the powers of a Soul Reaper by forcibly removing most of their mask, leaving them with a broken one that does not come off. They lose access to their Innate Power and gain a Zanpakuto. Releasing that Zanpakuto, however, is called a Resurreccion, which will then give them access to an evolution of their Hollow Power. They have the option to forego Super-Fast Regeneration in exchange for a Sonido of the same level.
Arrancar Powers
Cero | Cero is an offensive energy-based technique that scales off of Reiatsu, and takes the form of a blast of energy. With Tier Points in Cero, people can even create their own variatians. Cero are uniquely more powerful than most other offensive abilities of the same level. All Arrancar have access to Basic Cero and Basic Bala.
Sonido | This is a high-speed movement technique available to Hollows, and is their counterpart to the Shunpo. It is more instinctive than Shunpo, but functions almost identically on this site.
Name: Basic Sonido
Appearance: A Hollow appears to disappear and reappear in a different location, with the sound of a small crack following their trail.
Description: The Hollow moves extremely quickly from point A to point B, with a range of up to 50 meters. It is important to note that the Hollow does not teleport, and instead moves between this space. This means if the terrain cannot be traversed, this doesn't help. They also cannot move through walls or attacks, and at this level, Sonido requires so much concentration that they cannot attack in the same post AFTER Basic Sonido has already been used. Once used, this skill goes on cooldown for 2 posts
Name: Expert Sonido
Appearance: A Hollow appears to disappear and reappear in a different location, with the sound of a small crack following their trail.
Description: The Hollow moves extremely quickly from point A to point B, with a range of up to 100 meters. It is important to note that the Hollow does not teleport, and instead moves between this space. This means if the terrain cannot be traversed, this doesn't help. They also cannot move through walls or attacks. The cooldown for this skill is reduced to 1 post, and the stipulation of not being able to attack after this skill is used is lifted. If Expert and Basic Sonido raced, Expert is faster but not enough to matter outside of a race.
Name: Master Sonido
Appearance: A Hollow appears to disappear and reappear in a different location, with the sound of a small swish following their trail.
Description: The Sonido moves extremely quickly from point A to point B, with a range of up to 150 meters. It is important to note that the Hollow does not teleport, and instead moves between this space. This means if the terrain cannot be traversed, this doesn't help. They also cannot move through walls or attacks. This can only be used once per post. Slightly faster than Expert Sonido.
Hierro | Hierro is a passive ability that all Arrancar have access to without need for investment. A Hierro is essentially a shell of Reiatsu that must be broken before the Arrancar can be damaged. It has a durability equal to the Reiatsu stat of the Arrancar, but once it is broken, it doesn't come back in that topic. If the Hierro is broken by more than what is required to break it, the Arrancar can still be damaged by the difference.

Tier Points for Hollows
- Gillian | Gillian is a tier 1 evolution. The key difference to evolution and transformation, is that evolutions are permanent, and do not revert. Typically, the Hollow's power will become slightly more powerful and they can retool related techniques, or gain slots for new ones. Cannot be chosen with your first Tier Point. Gillian tend to evolve after a mass of Hollows come together, and they begin killing each other. The victor tends to emerge a Gillain.
- Adhuchas | Adhuchas is a tier 2 evolution. The key difference to evolution and transformation, is that evolutions are permanent, and do not revert. Typically, the Hollow's power will become slightly more powerful and they can retool related techniques, or gain slots for new ones. This requires Gillian. Adhuchas tend to evolve by hunting powerful souls, either being other powerful Hollows, or Quincy, Soul Reaper, or any other race.
- Vasto Lorde | Vasto Lorde is a tier 3 evolution. The key difference to evolution and transformation, is that evolutions are permanent, and do not revert. Typically, the Hollow's power will become slightly more powerful and they can retool related techniques, or gain slots for new ones. This requires Adhuchas. Vasto Lorde evolve similarly to Adhuchas, except they require even more souls at an even more powerful level.
- Cero Expert | Allows for the use of up to level 3 Cero, as well as 2 more Cero slots. Increases Reiatsu by 2.
- Cero Master | Allows for the use of up to level 5 Cero, as well as 2 more Cero slots, stacking with Cero Expert. Increases Reiatsu by 2. Requires Cero Expert.
- Expert Super-Fast Regeneration | Exchanges Basic Super-Fast Regeneration for the Expert version.
- Arrancar | A tier 1 evolution in which a Hollow becomes an Arrancar. Their innate power becomes sealed away and they no longer have access to it, but they do gain a Zanpakuto and retain their ability to use Cero. If becoming an Arrancar is a Tier Point you want to use as the 3rd or later that you earn (as in, you've already evolved a bit as a Hollow), talk to staff. You can do it, but it might require some special-case conversion depending on what you've already spent your tier points on.

Arrancars are a unique type of Hollow that has gained the powers of a Soul Reaper by forcibly removing most of their mask, leaving them with a broken one that does not come off. They lose access to their Innate Power and gain a Zanpakuto. Releasing that Zanpakuto, however, is called a Resurreccion, which will then give them access to an evolution of their Hollow Power. They have the option to forego Super-Fast Regeneration in exchange for a Sonido of the same level.

Tier Points for Arrancars
- Ressureccion | Ressurreccion is a tier 2 transformation in which an Arrancar releases the Innate Power sealed into their Zanpakuto. Ressureccion tends to change more about the Arrancar's body than Shikai and Bankai do, partially reverting to the Arrancar's appearance as a Hollow.
- Segunda Etapa | Segunda Etapa is a tier 3 transformation in which an Arrancar further releases the Innate Power sealed into their Zanpakuto. Rather than simply releasing that power, it also evolves the power, enhancing it.
- Cero Expert | Allows for the use of up to level 3 Cero, as well as 2 more Cero slots. Increases Reiatsu by 2.
- Cero Master | Allows for the use of up to level 5 Cero, as well as 2 more Cero slots, stacking with Cero Expert. Increases Reiatsu by 2. Requires Cero Expert.
- Sonido Expert | Replaces Basic Shunpo with Expert Shunpo and allows for 1 custom Shunpo technique. Increases Speed by 2.
- Sonido Master | Replaces Expert Shunpo with Master Shunpo, and allows for 1 more custom Shunpo technique. Increases speed by 2 more. Requires Shunpo expert.
