Hollow Race

Hollow (虚 (ホロウ), horō) are a race of creatures which are born from Human souls who, for various reasons, do not cross over to Soul Society after their death and stay in the Human World for too long. In some RARE cases from the souls of other spirits as well. They are corrupt spirits with supernatural powers that devour the souls of both living and deceased Humans. Hollows settle in Hueco Mundo, but can cross over to the Human World and Soul Society.

There are three classes of Hollow:

* Vasto Lorde [Elite] - Hollows that are more humanoid in figure and said to have power that Rival the Captains of the Gotei 13.

* Adjuchas [Semi-Elite] - Hollows that are somewhat humanoid and large in figure with power that can overwhelm in numbers.

* Menos [Non-Elite] - The lower class of Hollow, often most believed to be Gillians but not necessarily true. Some are large and some are small, it is their feeble spiritual pressure that classes them as such.

Hollow Abilities


Acid Touch: All hollows have the capability to utilize this technique. The acid touch is what you would imagine it to be. Causing burns to the opponents, that was unfortunate to get touch by the Hollow. 1 Post, and the target will suffer from minor burns. 2 Posts of touching or consecutively hitting the same spot, will cause 2nd degree burns. 3 posts of touching of consecutively hitting the same spot, will cause 3rd degree burns. This is just how much the acidic touch of the hollows can do.

High Speed Regeneration: In order to qualify for this trait. The hollow must have a mastery in "Ki". High Speed Regeneration will allow the Hollow to heal injuries. It takes one post to heal minor cut, burns etc. 2 posts to heal deep cuts, gashes, 2nd and 3rd degree burns. It takes 3 posts to heal severed limbs. Internal organs and damage done to the brain cannot be healed through this method. And will require extensive medical attention.

Kūmon (空門, lit. "Air Gate"): An ability attributed to all Menos and Hollows that have yet to remove their mask, the Hollow is able to literally tear open the fabric of space, allowing it to cross into the Human World from Hueco Mundo. Those utilizing this technique will have to post in the Dark Void, or get their entry into a new topic voided, if they so happened to travel from one dimension to another.
