Now for your obligatory recap. Your name is Neo'verst Hennessy (a real fuckin mouthful) which you yourself came up with after you couldn't remember your real one. After years of fucking around as a ghost you finally turn into a Hollow. Saved some chick you named Caprice, and teamed up with her. Got super lucky and caught a Lieutenant of the branch of Soul Reapers operating in America off guard. Added a snake named Cleo to the group. Spent a couple weeks creating mini disasters to get souls to eat. Killed a man belonging to a mysterious organization called the Praetorians. Made a new Hollow called Zoe. More importantly remembered your life, and how you were a street racer with a kid on the way who's wife left you.

After all that beat the ass of some Fullbringer brothers sent after you by the Praetorians. You nearly killed one, but in exchange for keeping him alive the other has sworn to serve you. Which is now how you find yourself walking through the halls of Las Noches, the wounded brother in your hand. The Arrancar have agreed to save him in exchange for help. Right now your companions have been left behind to await your return in one of the more cavernous hallways.

Name: Neo'verst Hennessy
Type: Gillian
Mask: Mix of a Ram and Saber Tooth Skull.
Powers:
[Regeneration] - All Hollows regenerate incredibly fast, and won’t die as long they have the Reishi to heal wounds, or suffer a incredibly debilitating injury.
[Sonído] - You can move in burst of speed faster then the eye can see. But only in short distances, and it takes a lot out of your.
[Subdermal Armor] - Your skin is stronger then normal.
[Escudo Final] - You may link yourself to a weaker ally and take blows in their place.
[Recuerda] - This hollow can remember its life without destroying itself, and has reformed with some memories intact.
[Cornear] - You channel your Reishi into your horns, giving them unnatural strength and toughness. Penetrating those with less Reishi easily.
[Pesquisa] - The power to detect, pinpoint, and measure Reishi.
[Calcificación] - The user spreads their Reiatsu through their body hardening it momentarily against strikes.
[Cero] - The practitioner fires a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy at the target. While in most cases it is fired from the mouth, some can fire Cero from their hands, fingers, and other parts of their bodies. This often requires the user to take on a specific pose. Verst own Cero is a light teal in color. It can be fired rapidly for a weaker version or charged for more power.

Likes: Speed, His Companions, ???
Dislikes: Those who mistreat their underlings, ???

Appearance:
[Base Hollow] - You stand about two stories tall. Your body is a dull brown in color, and you have a lion like tail ending in a small tuft of fur. Your legs end in hooves, but your arms end in claws. A mane protrudes from behind your mask. The Mask is very bestial, the saber tooth fangs large and slightly serrated, the horns of the ram pointed forward and razor sharp. There‘s two blue double tailed flame like marks over your eyes. 26ft in height
[Gillian] - Like most Gillian, Verst shares the black robe of the regular Gillan along with the accompanying spikes. His mask has remained mostly unchanged but is flattened and his horns are less protruding.
[Adjucha] - Neo’s Adjucha form is nearly the same compared to his base form. But his chest now lacks fur, and he has lost the ability to switch between bipedal and quadrupedal due to his more human like proportions. The horns of his mask only curl back one and are pointed straight forward in front of his face after the curl. His teeth have re-elongated from his Gillian form and now bear sharper more serrated edges. 14ft tall.

"So... Just where the hell're we going?" You ask your guides. They share a look between each other as if asking the other if they should tell you. Four eyes seems hesitant as if he shouldn't say anything but eventually tells you.

"We're taking your human to the old labs. It's not much since not many but myself use it anymore, but there's medical and life support equipment there." He cast a glance back to you. "After that we're taking you to Harribel." Harribel you've heard of her. Apparently she's the queen of Hueco Mundo or the closest thing it's got to a leader.

As for your guides you're pretty sure you've figured out their relationship. Four eyes is the skittish brains, and the one that looks like a kid is his superior and the brawn of their little duo.

You finally make it to the labs and four eyes hooks up the Fullbringer to some medical equipment. It's slow and careful work and seem pretty distracted.

>>Take a look around the lab.
>>Wait for them to finish.

As they hook up the human you quietly make your way deeper into the lab. To your surprise it's very modern, or even more advanced. The room itself is dark with dim computer screens and the occasional old flickering lights to illuminate the place. There are tables meant for surgery with tools beside them that don't look like they've been used in years. A stark contrast to the ones near the entrance that seemed to have been in heavy use. Sprinkled throughout the large room are large tubes filled with a bluish liquid illuminated by built in lights. Most are empty but occasionally one holds a body part or even a full Hollow sewn together from different parts. "Liking your little self guided tour?" You hear behind you. You turn in shock to find someone in the shadows watching you, stepping forward it's only four eyes. He walks past you and puts a hand on one of the tanks. "This lab use to be one of the ones that belonged to Aizen. He was a madman, but a genius one. With him the future of the Arrancar died." He looks on with a slight smile as if remembering something. "But that's long in the past now. Please follow me and we'll see Harribel." He walks past you eyes closed with a smirk. Something about him is off putting to you, and it doesn't help you couldn't sense him when he snuck up on you.

You leave past the Fullbringer who's now hook up to various tools and breathing through a machine. The Arrancar take you through more winding halls in this labyrinth of a fortress. You walk through a large desert are seemingly still in the fortress. You're lead up a platform in the middle to what seems like an open air throne room, marble pillars stretch into the sky but support no ceiling. Sitting on the throne is a blonde woman with a green haired one at her side, around a dozen also stand guard between the pillars. "So I've heard you've come to ask for a favor?"

>>Be courteous.
>>Be blunt.
>>Ask her more about this place.

You get on one knee in a bow before you speak. "You've heard correctly ma'am." You rise back up. "...Someone was injured and I was told you could help."

"Well your right I can, but I don't give handouts. So are you willing to earn it?" She ask you.

No doubt she's asking if you're willing to pay back the favor, and from the sound she wants it paid back now.

>>You're willing to work the favor off.
>>Reject, and be thrown out and lose contact with the other Fullbringer.
>>
>>3117371
>>>You're willing to work the favor off.

"You've done me a favor and now I'm willing to pay it back." You say. She seems to measure you for a moment, checking if you're truly being honest.

"You can start by finding out who has it out for us." She says. "As you've no doubt seen from the outside we've been under attack recently. We want you to see who exactly is the one responsible. We'd do it ourselves but our hands are tied, and once you find them get rid of them. Now I do believe you have a job to do." With little flair she sends you away with your two guides who take you back to the entrance. You think about how to complete this, but turn your head up to Caprice and Cleo.

Four eyes seems confused and follows your gaze. "Ah yes their size may... complicate things." He puts his hand on his chin while he thinks. "I suppose you could leave them with us for a while if you must."

>>Leave them all here for now.
>>Leave Caprice and Cleo, but take Zoe.
>>Take them all anyway.

>>Try and find one of the Hollow Plateaus.
>>Search the forest beneath Hueco Mundo(1d20).

>A hollow has to eat, especially a menos, make sure you two eat well. (I'm hoping they get in some good training or learn something new while we're out. Seems like a good place for them to learn something)
>(in retrospect) Check the dude's wallet for a phone #, something, or the phone itself if it's somehow still working. Do phone calls work if a hollow tries to make one?

The brother we blackmailed into working for us. We don't actually know that the people that hired him are backstabbing cunts even if it seems likely. So as far as we know he might be able to overhear a thing or two about their plans to make this job much easier.

Interesting, interesting. It'll make things more hilarious when it turns out we eliminated dozens of groups trying to find the right one and have to report it to Harribel.
>>3118841
I must have really forgotten something since the previous thread as I didn't realize the place was under attack by hollows or that there was anyone retarded enough to attack a goddamn Vasto lorde.I probably would have made a different decision there but we're needed to find people, not bust some heads on the frontline.

"Yeah it's probably best I leave at least Caprice and Cleo hear." You turned to them. "HEY CLEO, CAPRICE! ME AND ZOE ARE GONNA BE GONE FOR A WHILE!" You shout through cupped claws. "DON'T GET INTO TROUBLE." Caprice gives a small nod of confirmation, and Zoe flies off her perch down to you as you open a portal to the world of the living.

You step through behind Zoe closing the portal behind you. You've stepped out onto the roof of some skyscraper in a city. You look for landmarks before spotting the large red bridge in the distance. "San Francisco... Couldn't I have ended up in a nice place like hell maybe?" There wasn't much time you could waste though. Big city, and the sooner you found out who was behind the Hollow attacks the better. "Zoe you keep an eye out above the cities for any Hollows. If you find any ask them about the attacks. I stick to the more enclosed areas."

"You got it boss." With no more words she buzzed off into the sky.

"Now where would I be if I was a hungry Hollow in San Francisco." As you waited two fire trucks blazed by sirens wailing. "Perfect."

*Meanwhile in Sacramento*

Gabriel stood in alleyway wearing a leather jacket in the brisk winter night. He rubbed his hands as he had for the past hour waiting for his contact to show. "C'mon you bastards, of all the times to keep me waiting."

"Now, now mister Gabriel that's not proper now is it?" Came a voice from the entrance of the alley. Gabriel found his contact standing their. All in all he looked like some high class business man that just got off from work. White suit, black tie, and shaded sunglasses with swept back dark hair. The friendly grin slid off his face as he looked around in confusion. "I'd heard there was suppose to be two of you?"

Gabriel knew he couldn't tell him what had happened. "He... didn't make it."

"Ah I sorry for your lose then." He said with little actual care. From behind him he brought out a black suitcase. "Here's the rest of your money. Sleep well knowing the Praetors are happy with your service." The contact merely held the case out though making no move. Gabriel caught on after a few moments he was to come and take it. There wasn't anything about this he liked. But he still made his way towards it.

As his arm left the alley he only had a second to hear the shrill cry of something piercing the air. His moved his arm as fast as he could but still felt something graze it, and with it a searing pain. He looked to his left along with the contact who saw both saw what looked like a flaming white arrow. "Stupid girl." He heard from the contact. Looking back he saw the suit of contact engulf the man teal flames. With a blow to the jaw Gabriel was sent reeling. From the fire emerged the man several feet taller covered in armor and with a mane like the teal fire that turned his suit to armor.

"I'd say I'm sorry but that be a lie. Personally Hollow infected scum you may be, but I'd let you go were it not against policy to leave loss ends." He heard a rattling from several trashcans and from behind them several more Praetorians emerged. "At least we won't have to deal with the other one. And to think you couldn't even handle a single Gillian!" Gabriel knew he couldn't waste time though and called on his own powers, letting his own and the Reishi gifted by his brother flow through him and manifest into a spear. He charged at the contact trying to spear him. But it merely glanced off him into the ground not wasting momentum to pole vault over him. He burst forth from the alley with several of them behind him but the contact made no move to stop him.

As Gabriel ran off into the night the contact's phone started to ring. Letting his armor disperse and turn back to its former self he answered. "Yes sir. Yes he still has the briefcase. Yes the tracers are in place, and the bomb's been hidden. If he tries to wire any Fullbringers anything we'll know just where to find them, and after he's done that we can dispose of him." He hung up moments later. With a shrill whistle he called down the recruit from the roof. She'd preformed amazingly.

*Meanwhile in San Francisco*

You closed in on Zoe. What little the Hollows had known hadn't been very useful, but it did give you your next lead. You turned the corner to find Zoe bashing her head into a Hollow who hung limply in her grasp, after a few minutes of this she finally started eating him. You cleared your throat getting her attention. "So you get anything useful." She let a sheepish grin split her cracked mask.

"Sorry guess I got a little excited and forgot after the first few. But I heard their might be someone in a nearby city who knows something!"

You leave the city in the dark of the night. Normally the travel would take several hours, but with your increased speed and size along with Zoe's flying the time seems to pass in no time at all. The sun is beginning to rise, but you still have a few hours of dawn while the Hollows are more active. You and Zoe cut your way through several while trying to obtain what information you can.

*Meanwhile elsewhere in Sacramento*

Gabriel rested a hand against the brick wall as he struggled for air. He'd been running for what felt like hours but figured he'd finally lost them. After a couple moments of catching his breath he fumbled for his phone, and dialed in a number. It seemed to ring for an eternity as he knew every second he paused was another for his hunters to find him. "Gabriel, it's been a while are you okay?" Answered an elderly on from the other side of the phone.

"Look. I don't know how much time I have." He said between gasp. "I've gotten the money from those Praetorians, but they're after me." Gabriel cast a looked over his shoulder.

"Gabriel." The voice said in a calming tone. "Get rid of the money, and don't contact this number again. They may be tracking you. Lie low for a while, if you need to contact us use a disposable phone bought with cash." Gabriel felt his heart sank. He was going to be alone with no back up. He wanted to say something back about how this was unfair but the person on the other sided hung up. He let it hang limply from his hand before throwing it against the wall in anger. Running a hand through his hair he began to get a grip on the situation.

The first thing he did was throw the briefcase in a nearby dumpster. He continued running but could feel them behind him. He hadn't lost them like he hoped.

*Meanwhile elsewhere in Sacramento*

The Hollow fell limply from your grasp after crushing its neck. This wasn't as successful as you hoped but at least you were able to figure somethings out. Apparently a large amount of Hollows had grown discontent with the Arrancar ruling them even if only in title. They'd recently began meeting the neutral areas of Hueco Mundo to meet up. These Hollows would then attack the Las Noches, but you still didn't know who was behind it.

You were pulled out of your thoughts by a slight tremor. Zoe looked up from the corpse of a Hollow at the disturbance. "Food?" No the signature you recognized as the other Fullbringer brother who would give you information in turn for saving his brother.

>>See if he has anything useful.
>>Leave him and head for a meeting area in Hueco Mundo.

You tear across the city towards the Fullbringer. No doubt you could find each other when you wanted, but it would be best to establish an actual meeting place. You could feel several others though, and they carried the tell of Praetorians, souls bound together and used like batteries. As you land on the roof you see him fighting several off.

All things considered you thought he was doing pretty well as he impaled one. You could give him a hand, or watch and see if he was a liability.

>>3120433
It's a bit easier for him to run around in shinigami/quincy heavy areas for intelligence than it is for us. Would have been nice to get info on the praetorians but they're backstabbing assholes so we've gotta make do. He can probably also fetch us some meals made out of the local hollows whenever we wanna lay low. He could have been a complete nobody and still been useful.

You drop in behind the one you sense the power from. He just manages to throw his whip back. It's slides against the your bone like mask, not strong enough to crack it but enough to deflect your blow. The vision reels as your head bashes into the road. He lets out a rough laugh thinking you some stray Hollow easily killed, how wrong he is. With frighting speed you shove your fist through him turning him into something more like chunky salsa then a corpse.

As you rise from the ground you see one of the Praetorians fire what looks like some warped gun at you. The projectile just glances off your hardened chest, not infused with strong enough reishi to pierce your own. They all take a tentative step back. You feel a little bad for them honestly, they never thought they'd encounter a Adjucha. From a nearby room you hear a low song that seems completely in place with the world itself.

>>Charge the one with the gun.
>>Just grab Gabriel and make a run for it.

Your form disappears to the untrained eyes of the Praetorians without moving. Some are tossed aside as you slam into them like a hurricane of steel. Another shot from the one with the pistol bounce off your body. A bullet made entirely of reishi hits you again as you appear in front of her. You simply knock her to the side with a backhand and move towards your next target.

By the time the dust settles you and Gabriel are the only ones left standing. He doesn't really respond to the display, as he lets a body slide from his spear, he's felt the power of a Adjucha first hand himself. "You..." He says with slight venom. "are here. Is my brother safe?" He ask.

>>Yes as long as you keep up your end of the deal.
>>Yes, now we need to discuss were you'll feed me the information that will keep him alive.

Don't see why we'd pick the third option. We don't seem to be that kind of sadistic and it would mean we're in debt with sharktits for no reason.

"He's got the best medical care in Hueco Mundo and I'm the one stuck paying the bills. Which means!" You say pointing at him. "They're your bills too." He seems relived at the new that his brother is safe. "But somebody's been kicking the Hollow hornet nest and pointing them in the direction of the "hospital" he's in. So if you want him to stay that way, which I believe is in your dear brother's best interest, you'll help me find out who the culprit is."

He hesitates for a moment before saying. "Alright, so what do you want me to do?"

"I'm heading back to Hueco Mundo, but I want you to kill and interrogate any Hollows you can on this side... and not in that order." You think for a few moments remembering why you originally came here again. "We also need to workout how you're going to contact me for the information that's keeping your brother alive."

"We'll meet at the Gillian forest where this all started. We both know where it is and it's discreet." He gives a nod of confirmation.

"But how exactly am I suppose to contact you to give you what you want?"

"Hold on a moment. I'll think of something." You spend about an hour experimenting with the various materials around you. Eventually you manage to make a faint glowing stone by infusing it with both your own and Gabriel's reishi. You cut it into two pieces and round them out into spheres. The spheres give off a faint glow when either of you pumps a small amount of reishi into them. Teal for yourself and red for Gabriel.

"Alright." He says tossing the stone up in the air and catching it like a ball. "If I figure anything out I'll let you know. And... thanks for the save" He says. "So is there anything you'd like to know before I go."

>[Contact] - Contacts are people who through various means you have a contact with be it through blackmail, favors, or trade deals. They may be able to acquire information and materials for you and may even help you in fights. Though they won't follow you like subordinates and their loyalty is more easily shaken and may turn on a dime, or for the right price.
>[Contact: Gabriel Alander] - A young Fullbringer and twin brother of James Alander. His mother was attack and wounded by a Hollow causing him and his brother to born prematurely and killing their mother in the process. Their father was abusive blaming them for the loss of their mother. At age 8 they left home and were found by an organization of fellow Fullbringers and raised by the head of the organization. Gabriel may not be able to acquire material items of the spiritual variety but is constantly moving working for the highest bidder and knows the right people to talk to. He's also not bad in a fight.

"So, tell me what you know about these "Praetorians"."

"These guys?" He says in surprise. "Not really much I can tell in all honesty. They showed up out of the blue a couple years ago. They're just regular humans with high spiritual energy. But they found a way to bind the souls of the dead to them, they use them like batteries substituting their energy for their own." He speaks with mild disgust at the practice. "They didn't know how to use it at first though, and that's when we come in... well Fullbringers come in at least. Those couple of years ago they put out a call saying they were willing to pay Fullbringers to teach their recruits how to use reishi like them." He stops and thinks for a couple moments as a sad look crosses his face. "Problem was no one heard from them after that. Gramps sent me and James here to see why. Guess I know why now."

>>That's all head to Hueco Mundo.
>>Who's this Gramps.

"Who's this "Gramps" you mentioned?"

"Huh?" He says looking up in surprise. "Oh you caught that. Probably shouldn't have mentioned him." He mutters. "Well Gramps sorta looks after an organization of Fullbringers. We aren't that centralized but it's a way for us to all find... less than normal jobs, and to stay in touch. Gramps is the head of it all and is the one who found me and my brother. He lives in this nice penthouse up in New York. Haven't seen him though since he sent me on this job. Shit how am I gonna break my brother to him."

>>Well he'll live another day thanks to the info. Back to Hueco Mundo.

The hypocrites act like wannabe hollows so they bring in the closest thing to hollows a human can be for training. Makes sense I suppose.
Are they stupid enough to think they can replace hollows on the food chain or something?
>Their souls should be popping up in a second, Wanna see if these idiots have some answers? Just to be sure, they didn't mention anything about rescuing little Zoe up there when they sent you? Gotta confirm once more that they're backstabbing little shits for the questioning and/or torture. Gives Zoe a reason to hate them.
>Wave Zoe down to help with the interrogation

>Good cop, Bad cops with Gabriel?
Now listen up you little shits,All of you decided you wanted to act like hollows, so I'm going to treat you like I do to hollows that aren't part of the gang.(Flash toothy grin or something similar, possibly with Zoe?) I suspect your bossmans are gonna do the same with your fancy scmancy little weapons that you've been doing to all the pluses, so there ain't nowhere for you to run even if you could get away from me.
The one we like the most gets to be Gabriel's little pet over here. If he finds it in his heart he might be able to let you hide until some lazy ferryman shit gives you a better afterlife.

First two victims slowly lose body parts as they are fed to Zoe.
Next victim, break the chain links one at a time

Last victim

Not a vote. just an observation.
So gramps is an old guy in upstate NY and the fullbringers in bleach have a giant X in their name.
Fullbringers are fucking X-men?
>>
You still got some time want to ask about the Organization in the mean time?
>>
>>3130677
I get that you want us to ask about em, but I figured live and let live rather than accidentally kick up a hornet's nest when we've already pissed off or will piss off at least 3 major organizations. (Ferrymen ,Praetorians, and whatever the hell is stirring those hollows up)

If I metagame then: The average human is gonna mean nothing for our hunger/xp soon so we MIGHT be able to swing not eating regular humans in favor of eating whatever random jackasses think they can win against us. That seems to work decently enough vs shinigami and Ichigo as they never seem to give a shit about hollow extermination once you reach Adjucha tier. (Granted we now know this is due to the whole "soul balance" thing, but the fact that arrancar look much more human probably helps with Ichigo.) Maybe the Fullbringers can stand our existence so long as we aren't hunting humans by the time they get to "know" we exist? Too much trouble to try and kill some racing autist that's too strong to bother with humans anymore.

Ok. Just going to hope I remember this off the top of my head.
>>
>>3130677
Naa, more or less what>>3130768 said. We have enough going on that we don't really need to get involved with his organization. It is good to know he's a part of one though.

If we have time then a guess just shoot the shit with Gaby. Talk about sports and stuff.
>>
>>3130870
Sorry man. They are interesting and all but we got a bunch on our plate. I guess I can try to remember to bring up possibilities like hiring them in the future since it's gotta be easy for a ghost to figure out how to steal a bunch of valuables?

"Before you go we should probably deal with them." You say pointing over your shoulder. He looks over your shoulder making sure they're still the way you left them.

"Um, they look very dead. Problem solved?"

"Some of them still might produce a ghost. No loose ends. Plus they might be more willing to talk to you than me." You spend about the next hour waiting for them to appear. Finally you feel them start to form.

You round them up to keep them in place and grab the spirit of the leader you killed early in the fight. "So you're going to tell me what I want to know. OR this gets very painful understand?"

He just spits in your face. "Fuck off and die monster! I won't tell you shit!" Struggling against your grasp as he says it.

Amazing how every post/quest on Christmas eve for me tonight is about how to do horrible things to others.
>Gouge out his eye, slowly. He's the most likely to know something so ripping his jaw/tongue off isn't an option yet. Or fusing his mouth shut so that he has no much yet continues screaming, or anything else.

Kill one of the others than eat the legs of a second. Tell him each time he refuses they all die slower and slower. He's last.
>>
>>3132210
One of the others might be more willing or easy to break. I think beating him half to death to give the guy a chance to talk before actually killing him after the second attempt might be better if you go that route?
Not that I really endorse that route. Praetorians are pretty bad at giving a shit about comrades so far so I don't expect anyone in charge to think differently.
>>
>>3132339
I don't expect anyone but the boss would have any information. They seem like the do as I say, no questions types. Tormenting all of them and seeing if any give up anything might work. If one of the subordinates doesn't know what we want they might rat out someone elsewhere to save their skin.
>>
>>3132365
Such systems tend to give rise to people paying extra attention specifically because they can't trust their bosses to tell them anything. They might not know all the details, but the ones with survival skills or that are mildly clever would normally try to predict when they're getting sent into something FUBAR so that they can avoid it.
>>
Since this seems so broken up, and my schedule is full the next few days. We'll count this off as the end and continue later in thread 4.

Sorry if that's abrupt but I have a lot to do. Happy holidays everyone.
>>
>>3132392
Yeah you might be right.
>>3132394
Happy holidays Key.
