Hair & Eye Colour Illicitus has pepper colored hair which is styled in a messy manner. His bangs hang just above his sickly emerald green irises
Noticable Difference The first and arguably most noticable thing about Illicitus is his skin tone. Illicitus has a very unusually pale almost grey appearing skin. Which is surprisingly flawless free of blemishes or any sort of desicrations. The next difference would more or less be the location of his hollow mask fragment it resemebles rectangular framed glasses that give Illicitus a rather scholarly appearance. In terms of clothing Illicitus wears the standard arrancar uniform of a white jacket although his is sleeveless and he also wears fingerless white combat gloves,and sports black combat boots modified into sandles. Lastly Illicitus's hollow hole is located on the right side of his chest between the second and third rib,although only those who have seen him without a shirt have seen it.
Positive Traits

- Inventor - Illicitus loves to tinker with anything he can get his hands on be it his zanpakuto lesser hollows or even plants. He just can't seem to stop tampering with things.
- Determined - Illicitus is a very determind individual he'll do whatever it takes to get what he has his mind set on regardless of the future repercussions
- Smooth Talker - Illicitus is rather skilled in conversation more or less playing to peoples wants in an attempt to have them do his dirty work for him.
Negative Traits
- Prideful - Given Illicitus' aspect of death he can be a rather arrogant indivudal always feeling that he is superior to anything someone else is capable of.
- Inferiority complex - A by product of his aspect of death, Illicitus suffers from a moderate inferiority complex when he feels someone has out preformed him in some manner it causes him to doubt his own capabilities
- Anger - Illicitus has quite the temper on him although it takes a great deal to bring it out. The best way to achive this goal would be to play to his inferiority complex
- Socially Awkward - Partially one of the reasons Illicitus chooses to be distant towards other people. He feels that everyone is constantly looking down upon him so he keeps himself to keep from being mocked
- Unloyal - loyality in Illicitus's eyes is simply one of the biggest delusions anyone could mention to him. He views those who are loyal to another as weaklings who cannot stand upon their own two feet.
TMI?: Overall Personality. Illicitus is a rather difficult individual to get along with. He's the type of guy that would walk into your room, and challenge you to a fight and belittle you during every moment of it. Although given his almost unbearable pride he is a rather intelligent man capable of creating multiple strategies in a moments later, and fluidly transition from one plan to another based on the given situation he's in. Despite his rough exterior Illicitus has his kind moments though they are few and far between.
This..Is Who I Really Am

FLASHBACK
Background: Illicitus Sepulchrum was born during the height of the spartan empire. Being the first son of an up and coming spartan warrior named Tantibus Sepulchrum who was captain of an up and coming spartan company known simply as the thirthteenth. So needless to say Illicitus never got to spend much time with his father although that was a given considering by the time he was seven years of age he was thrown into the military life. Around the first few weeks Illicitus was given a harsh training schedual which consisted of basic combat strategies weapons training,and even the practice of unarmed combat despite his rather small stature for his age Illicitus gradually learned to use his size to his advantage which got him the notice of the head instructor a middle aged man by the name of Adrastos.
By the time he was thirteen Illicitus had finally been given his first taste of battle which a period before hand he had been asigned to a company known as the thirtheenth. Although when Illicitus was visited by his new commander who was quite known for his cruel nature. The black haired man simply nodded to the boy and informed him to prepare himself for battle. Illicitus returned the nod before walking out of his tent in full armor like all the others in the division yet there was a difference in his weaponry instead of the standard sword and shield. Illicitus held two swords in his hands the reason behind this was given the youths small stature he wasn't properly able to use a shield and sword. So during his last few days in his training his instructor Adrastos gave him the suggestion of using two single blades, and much to everyones surprise Illicitus was quite capable with the unusual combination.
The march to the battleground which was usually silent was filled with the brief whispers of the other troops they all were discussing the exact same item of conversation which was the similarities of Illicitus to their commander Tantibus. Yet whenever either their leader moved past all the whispers were instantly silenced. But when the entire division reached their destination which was Plataea their objective was simple. Bring down the persian army without any sort of signal the entire armor got into their standard formation the phalanx. The enemy soldiers started their march directly at the frontline of the phalanx which Illicitus had what most would consider an honor to be placed in the front of it. The boy was rather nervous but was easily reassured by his mentor Adrastos. When the two frontlines met it was similar to a train wreck the sound of swords crashing into sheilds echoed like thunder which was only covered up by the reteching sound of flesh being cut through.
Illicitus was suddenly coated by the fresh crimson mist of an enemy soldier who he had greeted with two stabs from his swords which penetrated the exposed portions of the mans breasts,and with a simple pull back the man fell backwards only to be replaced by a much larger man who was swinging a large blade down upon the young boys head. Illicitus' green eyes widened expecting this to be the end yet it wasn't the blade had been intercepted by a large shield so naturally the boys eyes,and to his surprise it was his commander Tantibus who had effortlessly shoved the sword back,and replaced his shield with the sharpened tip of the spear which had been driven through the opposing soliders forehead. "You shouldn't be so easily distracted we have a task ahead of us" The man said sternly before pulling his spear from the males skull. Illicitus started to speak,but decided against it instead stepping forward from the formation by a few feet doing his best to carve a path through the enemy formation. Hours pushed by the young man was covered in a film of sweat almost on the point of exhaustion he discarded his secondary sword holding his remaining one in a two handed manner using the brief downtime to take a small break.
On the boys right flank he noticed his commander fending off two persian soldiers,and dispatching them with ease with fluid transitions from shield defences to spear strikes it was almost like he was painting the battlefield with the enemies blood, until a third soldier thought to be dispatched stood behind the man attemping to stab through his back. Yet without thinking Illicitus ran forward crashing his shoulder into the mans side causing his momentum to be pushed over the sands,but Illicitus wasn't done with that he bounced back before bringing his sword forward feeling it slip between two of the mans ribs puncturing through his lungs and heart.
Tantibus turned seening the remnants of the scene before giving a simple smile before returning to the battle. Illicitus stayed on his commanders right flank,and between the two of them they had killed a combined total of one hundred and twenty five soliders. Including the enemy commander.
With the setting sun the battle had ended with a decisive victory for the spartan army that night during the celebrational dinner. Commander Tantibus stood infront of the entire division,and made a toast. "Alright men before we offically celebrate I'd like to make a toast to our newest member,and the reason why I'm still alive. My son Illicitus Sepulchrum." The middle aged man said while raising his glass which lead into a serenade of cheers from the other soliders. Illicitus was awe struck by this to the point of dropping his own glass all this time he didn't even notice his own commander was actually his father the one man that Illicitus was always curious about.
That night llicitus was laying in his tent trying to sort through the shocking news he had heard ealier which lead to a mixed reaction part of him was excited to finally get to know his father whilst the other part of him was rather resentful and envious of how successful his parent was. Which was then an idea had hatched within his head the young boy planned on murdering his father,and taking his place within the divisions command.
So Illicitus quietly crept into his fathers tent with a small knife hidden inside of his sleeve his target was simple the males juggular, and everything was going just as planned until he heard a sword being drawn from behind the tents opening flap. It was Adrastos who had a similar aim as the young boy. Yet despite the fact that they were rivals for the same glory. Both knew that they had to keep the noise to a minimum or else they would both be killed so instead they decided to settle their small issue with a duel between them infront of the tent,but just when Illicitus turned to leave the tent to await Adrastos outside he felt a blade being plunged into his back,and piercing through his heart. The assilant ripped the blade from the young warrior after uttering the phrase "You're too ambitious for you're own good" The assilant uttered in a soft tone from inside the tent. Adrastos who had seen the entire thing gasped slightly in surprise while watching Tantibus who had merely been playing possum during the entire event returning his sword to it's scabbard.
When questioned on what to do with Illicitus's body Tantibus merely told adrastos to do as he wished with it. So in response Adrastos dragged the young mans body into a field and set it upon a spartan shield giving him a mock burial. Uttering a few words before making his way back to camp giving a simple nod to Tantibus signifying that he was finished with the act.
Illicitus awoke in his soul body wondering were he was,but not impartically the location but what was he until his green eyes looked down seeing a large plug like object on his body. This discovery startled the young man until he seen another individual materialize before him wearing an unusual attire,and bearing an odd weapon. He informed Illicitus that he was now a soul and that it was his duty to send him to a place known as the seireitei. Illicitus merely laughed in the mans face escpailly when the man shifted the hilt of his sword towards illicitus trying to preform some ritual known as a konso. Using his spartan training Illicitus was able to evade the thrust attempt along with flip the man over his own shoulder.
Before running away from the man doing his best to evade the man's attempts to find him. During the course of the next span of years or so Illicitus hung around sparta watching over various spartan warriors until one day he was watching his fathers division locked within battle with the persian army once again although his father was much older on the verge of death so it seemed,but still ready to fight to defend his homeland. The spartan troops were being slaughtered which filled Illicitus with a mixture of envy and regret. Regret in the sense that he was incapable of helping out his comrades envy in the fact that he wasn't even alive anymore.
Whilst hovering over the battlefield like a vulture Illicitus spotted the man who he believed had killed him his former mentor Adrastos in a sudden frenzy of rage Illicitus swooped down from his aerial position to get a better glimpse of the man as he was being impaled by dozens of arrows. With a faint sense of joy Illicitus doubled back around watching his father fight off a group of five persians. Although he wasn't as capable as he once was due to his age. Which lead Illicitus to illicitus another shocking revelation had occured when Tantibus cursed himself for murdering his child.
That information caused Illicitus's mind to almost instantiously shift to thoughts of hatred and loathing of his entire bloodline. The dark nature of the mans thoughts caused a large hollow to lunge at him from above. The hollow started to drive illicitus towards the ground,but it was suddenly surprised from above by a shinigami. Taking little time the larger hollow ripped open a garanta and did it's best to try and devour the helpless soul. Yet the shinigami's zanpakuto cut through the under belly of the hollow which caused it's claws to flail snagging and ripping off Illicitus's soul chain,as it tried to flee through a garganta which accidentally knocked illicitus into it.
Yet while shifting through the garganta Illicitus's body began to twist and churn from the sudden removal of his soul chain he had been eating over the hundreds of years. His entire form had underwent some sort of evolution into a feral beast like being.
Once Illicitus had gradually overcame them before starting to hunger which was when he seen another entity similar to himself yet it was gravely wounded,and not being one to look a gifthorse in the mouth he feasted upon the slowly decaying carcus. Which lead to a small growth in Illicitus' strength which lead to his now primitave mind to the conclusion the more he ate the stronger he'd become. So over a hundred years time Illicitus grew bored of his daily routine of devouring weaker hollow to the point of trying to discover more of his new home gradually aquring more power until becoming an Adjuchas. Which was where he devoured plenty a hollow in hopes of regaining a somewhat humaniod appearance. Although his envy once again lingered within his entity the day he seen what appeared to be the same shinigami from when he was last in the human world within his sands he was about to strike it,but at the last second something within him told him to retreat before he ended up dead. He wondered what that being actually was, but the notion was short lived due to the individual being eaten by an unusually large mantis like hollow.
Illicitus searched the sands of las noches trying to find something of interest which he had rediscovered a few of his memories from his living life mostly his enjoyment of learning. Although while taking a rest from his search of something interesting he noticed a humaniod entity,but it had what appeared to be a portion of a hollow mask atop it's skull like a crown. It was brandishing an scythe which it used to cut through a group of large hollow. Illicitus was awstruck by this entity,and something inside of him ignited with a new desire of becoming similar to that creature.
- Quote :
- Roleplaying Sample: It was a surprisingly cool day within the sandy landscape of Las Noches, Illicitus had spent most of his day trying to further his evolution. When he discovered an intruder in his lands. From his optical vantage point it appeared to be a large praying mantis. Illicitus's teeth barred as he made his way towards it. The opposing hollow snarled in response charging up a single cero which Illicitus effortlessly batted aside with a raise of his extended arm causing it to soar into the sky. While his right arm extended around the hollows throat slamming it into the ground infront of and behind himself. With ease he flung the beast into the air before shifting up towards it from below his jaws opened wide,as green reiatsu gathered within his maw before releasing an explosive beam of reiatsu that crashed into the mantis's underbelly causing it to release a cry of agony,as the beam pierced through.
While the mantis hollow descended to the ground it crashed into the sand covered surface with a loud thud,and surprising a large amount of force that caused the ground infront of illicitus to crater inwards about two feet deep. Being the surprising ruthless hollow that Illicitus was he raised both vine esque hands upwards before plunging them down into the hollows skull and lower abdoman from the back,bringing it's carcas towards his awaiting maw. Finishing what remained of his prey although unbeknownst to Illicitus this 'weak' prey had an unexpected surprise for the wannabe las noches tyrant. This hollow had just recently devoured a shinigami zanpakuto and all.
The reishi from the shinigami's zanpakuto was the final catalyst Illicitus needed to under go yet another evolution with a minature explosion of green reiatsu Illicitus had realized something when the force of energy ceased. Only a fragment of his hollow mask had remained this was further signified when his newly regained hands rose to his face feeling the cold bone like texture of the 'glasses' infront of his eyes. Instantiously he broke out into a fit of manical laughter realizing that he had finally transcended his previous form. He began the process of deboning the peices of various hollows around him and used their hides to fashion a cloak for himself,as he made his way along the sands his mind trying to fathom the new powers he had aquired along with the possibility of there being an even higher threshold for himself.
Pre released Techniques
Galdio Argi ( Sword field) By channeling his light based reiatsu Illicitus is capable of forming katana like blades by enfusing particles of his reiatsu into the rays of light around him. Which gives him a wider array for attacks. Though the blades appear infinite there are only 20 in his pre released state.
Munda (Cleanse) By channeling his light based reiyoku into his hand Illicitus is capable of firing a single or five part beam from the tips of his fingers. The beam itself is capable of slicing through solid rock.
It's power is great enough to be compared to a Cero Oscura which is what Illicitus jokingly calls it
Scintilla Sonido (Flash Sound) A unique version of the traditonal arrancar sonido. Illicitu's body appears to shutter with his reiatsu before shifting forward at great speeds that creatse a single tangible image. Yet when the image is struck or moved towards it detonates like a bomb with a five foot radius.
Cruentas Saevio (Murderous Rampage) A augmenting technique that encases Illicitus's body in a white static that acts similar to that of armor although it causes his mentality to shift to a more savage state. The armor is capable of wisthanding a point blank gran rey cero before dissipating. The savagery is a byproduct of the static shifting through his body,and snapping and reconnecting his rational thoughts into primal ones.
Released Techniques
Purgatorium (Purgatory) An enhanced version of the Munda technique Illicitus's wings expand causing eight orbs of black light to gather then fire down combining into a single beam similar to that of a cero oscura. It's power is the same as a cero oscura combined with a level 80 hado spell.
Requiem - Illicitus' sword starts to gleam a black light, and with one swipe it releases a wave of energy that has the maw of a demonic face visible during the focusing phase of the technique. It's power can be stored within the blade to enhance the power of his slashes.
Salvus (Salvation) - By pressing his palms into his the ground a wall of partially hard reiatsu enfused light raise up before his body acting as a defensive curtain against projectile attacks. Although it's will start to deteriate after recieving two strikes similar in power to hado 90
Ludicium Succide (Judgement Cut)- Illicitus' trademark technique within his released state it starts by him adjusting his stance to that similar to Iaido, and with one swipe of his sword a partially transparent sphere of reiatsu forms before around even above (but never directly on) the adversary and cuts against the surrounding air. Giving Illicitus a multi ranged strike.
Happy RP'ing everyone
