Maris the Petrifier

Basic Information

Name: Maris Marie Kabula (Maris Mari Kabura in Japanese)

Appeared Age: Early twenties.

Gender: Female.

Division: 12th.

Rank: 4th Seat.

Organization: Shinigami Research and Development Institute.

Looks: Please look at the avatar. Her height is 9'11" and she keeps her weight secret.

Personality: Maris is very vain, mostly caring about her hair and hardly gives a damn how she looks like in the institute. She does have a bad habit of biting her nails when her opponents interests or frustrates her. In almost any situation, she acts cool and ignorant, mocking her enemies with foul language. Like most geniuses, Maris is very cocky and selfcentered. She is very spoiled, due to rich parents and many servants, usually abusing her position as a high ranking officer in the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. Maris also often threatens to petrify weaker Shinigami if they won't do her bidding, and won't hesitate doing it if they are rude towards her.
Maris will, however, literally kiss the toes to her superiors, as the only thing she fears is to be punished or fired. She will only tell one side of the story and not the other. In some ways, Maris is a troubled soul with a great sexual frustration-level. Fellow 12th Division-members usually observe her every now and then making out with strangers outside the barracks and labs, before disappearing inside her room. She is usually celebrating the first friday in the month with a 'cosplay'-party at her house. Her favorite food is flame-boiled fish, while her least favorite is fishcake.

Sexuality: Bisexual.

Relationship Status: Single.


Zanpakuto Information

Zanpakuto Name: Hebi Utahime (Japanese for "Snake Diva")

It's spirit takes the appearance of a somewhat intimidating woman;

Spoiler:

Released Zanpakuto Description: Once Hebi Utahime is released, Maris' eyes will get a blood-red shade in her eyes and blood-like liquid will drip from her eyes. When Maris looks into the eyes of a person, the person's limbs will stiffen slowly when their eyes meet. People with lower reiatsu then her will slowly turn into stone (this process takes 4 posts. Limbs turn into stone one by one and the head will turn into stone in the 4th post). People with higher reitsu than her will of course break out of her spell after only a few seconds, but she can pin people with reiatsu a little bit higher than her some time (4 posts). Hebi Utahime's petrification can only be reversed if Maris is low on reiyoku or when she willfully reverses it. High reiatsu will also defend the victim from Hebi Utahime's effect. When Hebi Utahime returns to it's sealed form, the victims are petrified until it is released again.

Zanpakuto Release Phrase: 'Avert your eyes' (Anata no me o sakeru)

Released Zanpakuto Looks: Hebi Utahime maintains it's former appearance, but Maris' eyes turns blood-red.

History and RP Sample

History: Maris was born in a rich family in the Rukongai, as the oldest of three siblings. As the oldest child, Maris was originally the one that was supposed to inherit the family business; their jewelry shop. However, even at young age, Maris never showed any interest, except in the jewelry itself, usually sneaking some of the cheaper ones to her room. She was usually scolded at, if her parents discovered her. Though she was very young by Soul Society standards, she easily outsmarted her parents and younger siblings.
As her parents sometime saw this as a problem and sometimes a good thing. Due this, their oldest daughter was often their discussion-topic. After more problems, Maris was forced to move to her father's sister. She is still bitter because of this decision. During a period of three years, Maris was taught by her aunt in almost everything she knew. Sewing. Writing. Cleaning the house. She hated this period. However, during the time she lived with the horrible woman of an aunt, Maris discovered that she had great Spiritual Pressure, due to hunger and an odd event involving petrification of a cat.
Fearing that her niece would petrify another of her cats, Maris' aunt sent her to the Shino Academy to learn to control her powers.
However, Maris never saw her aunt nor the rest of her family again. After graduating from the academy, with grades higher than average in most subjects, except in Zanjutsu, Maris was offered a position in the 12th Division. She accepted the offer and gradually rose in ranks until she was 4th Seat.

RP Sample: To 'normal' shinigami, it would be a great day. The sun was shining, the birds were tweeting. It was hot outside, but a gentle breeze made sure it was not too cold outside. But to a certain shinigami, 4th Seat in 12th Division; Maris Kabula, this day was horrible. She hated the warm feeling the sun that touched her skin gave her. It was utterly... Disgusting. It reminded her of the aunt's humming while she polished glass. Something the two of them usually did together. Every damn friday, in four fucking years. Yeah... 'Yeah, after all, I am having a one-night stand every friday. To celebrate the fact that she was free from the bitch's slavery.' she thought, while she moved closer to the window in the room she was standing in.
The room was unusually dark, even for a 12th Division lab. Not a single light were lit. The only lightsource; the window, was now covered by curtains.

Maris was as usual, dressed in a challenging manner. She only wore a corset-like top and leather-pants, while her long, wavy red hair hanged down behind her in a ponytail. Her arms were wrapped in loose sleeves. On the back of her corset, the insignia of her Division, the 12th, could be seen. Maris lifted her hand and dug it through her hair, trying to look irresistible, something she thought she did very well. Her blood-red eyes looked at the man sitting in the chair. Her lips opened themselves and she let out a sensual sigh.

Yup, the man was still sitting there, seemingly anticipating something pleasureable. Maris rubbed herself against the wall and groaned. If this wasn't turning the man on, she didn't know. He mumbled something, but Maris didn't bother to hear it. She slowly walked forewards, tilting her head so it rested on her left shoulder. Enjoying our moment? The voice escaping her lips weren't sensural, but rather arrogant and almost... Sadistic. (... I skip a less controversial part of this sample) The man mumbled behind the cloth he had in front of his mouth. She walked slowly to the side of the man and started to walk around him. I hope you enjoyed this. It was possibly your last moment like this.

Her right hand quickly drew something out of her left sleeve and the object headed towards the man's throat. The man winced a second, before his head fell backwards and blood poured out of his throat. Maris had thrusted her Zanpakuto into the throat of her victim. You enjoyed this moment too much, 11th Division-member. she muttered, eyeing the body of the man. She sheated har Zanpakuto and closed the man's eyes, before pushing him out of the chair. A small 'thud' could be heard in the room as Maris sat down in the chair. She sighed. This day was over at least. And another 'specimen' was found. He would become a rather good one as well.

Finally, Maris smiled. If she were the one to judge the smile, she would've said it was 'false'. But she was smiling, because it was over. The man's life was ended. And she got a speciman before Mayuri. Mayuri Kurotsuchi... He would envy her great hunting skills. She was sure he wondered where Maris got her specimen from, but he never asked. That was what she liked about Mayuri.
