Every good shonen manga and anime need to have bad guys, enemies, someone to fight against, and Bleach number one enemies already from chapter one are hollows. During the whole series, we learn more and more about Bleach hollow and, from simple monsters to slay, they become character to love. If you want to know more about them and about what hollow iteration we have in our site, keep reading!
BLEACH HOLLOW: THE PERFECT ENEMY
What is a hollow in Bleach? A Bleach hollow is a human soul that, for many possible reasons, stayed in the human world too long and became corrupted. Once turned into hollow, this creature becomes a normally malignant entity that will feed off human and fellow hollows' souls. In this corrupted state, hollows usually live in a parallel dimension separated from the human world known as Hueco Mundo, a desolated land where violence and strenght is the only language and hollow form allegiances and fight each others to get to the top.
Of course, not every Bleach hollow is the same, and there are different hollow categories based on power. While regular hollows are usually not very strong, Menos hollows can be extremely difficult to slay. Menos are divided into three groups of ascending power levels: gillians, adjuchas and vasto lorde. Vasto Lorde can rival in power a Gotei 13 captain, they are absolute power houses in Hueco Mundo, but they are thankfully quite rare.
When a hollow is able to remove its mask, whether alone or aided, they become an Arrancar, a being that bridges the gap between Hollow and Shinigami, resulting in an explosion of power and enhanced intellect. Arrancar are for sure the most temible creaures in Hueco Mundo.
HOLLOWS IN WORLD OF REAPERS
Do hollows exist on World of Reapers? Of course they do, it's wouldn't be a Bleach RPG site without hollows now, right? That being said, we don't allow users to be regular hollows, and whenever hollow appears in event, they are always NPCs controlled by the staff. So... what if you want to be a hollow in our site? Well, you still have very interesting options.
While I just wrote that you cannot be a REGULAR hollow (emphasis on regular) you can be an Arrancar. In fact, arrancars are one of the four main groups in our site (the other three being Shinigami, Quincy and Fullbringers). Arrancar also get interesting choices when it comes to decide how they became an arrancar, that can be slightly different on our site. They either:
- gained arrancar powers in a way unique to WoR, which is by having the hogyoku answer your desire for power by remaking you into an Arrancar even if you were just a regular soul before and not a hollow.
- or gained arrancar powers by being a hollow that was able to remove their mask while being in Hueco Mundo, thus becoming a "natural arrancar" and reaching Soul Society in this new powerful state.
There is no right or wrong option, you can choose whatever works for you!
BEING A MENOS HOLLOW ON WORLD OF REAPERS
Of course, we all know and love Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde. It would be quite cool to be one of them, right? Well, on World of Reaper you can! Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde are exclusive statuses that can be won via special competitions. So, what do they entail?
With the Adjuchas status,you will be able to use extra powers, and with the Vasto Lorde status you'll also be able to unlock the Segunda Etapa, just like the beloved Ulquiorra.
So, what do you think about Arrancar, and would you want to be one? Let us know in the comments what your Resurrección would be!
