Character NAME: Orihime Inoue
Canon & MEDIUM: Bleach | Manga

Canon PULL-POINT: At the end of the Xcution Arc: Ch. 479

Character ABILITIES:
Orihime has a few supernatural abilities. She is able to use spiritual power in the form of the Shun Shun Rikka. Her trademark hairpins become 6 fairies. One of them (Tsubaki) is used for attacks, two (Ayame and Shun o) are capable of healing and three (Baigon, Hinagiku, and Lily) are capable of forming a shield. After the time skip Orhime also develops an ability that combines her offensive and defensive moves called the Shiten Kōshun. This move creates the shield and then automatically returns the force of an attack upon the opponent. Orihime's abilities are unique in that they do not correct the damage caused but instead revert time, because of this she is able to heal massive injuries. Orihime's strengths lie in her defensive capabilities. She has been able to deflect major attacks by both shinigami and arrancar. She is also a very strong healer, her only weakness really showing when she tried to heal one of her own fairies. Her attack capability is rather low, she cannot hold ground against anyone with considerable strength. Since the time skip it has been reviled that her powers have developed, including her attack strength, but it is not clear how much stronger she has become. Orihime uses he abilities to aid her friends and protect them. Her shield and healing abilities are strong, and she is the only one out of her team that has the ability to heal. She has also been forced to use her powers against her will while she was under the control of Aizen. 

Aside from her hairpins Orihime also possesses spiritual awareness as well as spiritual power. She is able to sense spiritual energy, to such an extent that she can sometimes sense the energy even when the thing releasing it is behind a barrier. She also has a high enough level of spiritual power that she can withstand being in the vicinity of people much stronger than she is. 

As far as common abilities, Orihime is very intelligent despite her "air head" appearance. She was ranked second in her class to the surprise of many of her class mates. Orihime was also a member of the handicrafts club, so it can be assumed she has a basic knowledge of sewing and construction and would be capable of making small repairs or mending various items. She also fancies herself a cook, but her concoctions are often bizarre and unappetizing.

Character HISTORY:
http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Orihime_Inoue Just scroll down to the plot section

Character PERSONALITY: 
On the surface Orihime is an average japanese high school student. She loves spending time with her friends, she studies to make good grades and she works part time at a bakery. She is rather well adjusted for someone who has been through as much as she has. Before ever becoming associated with Ichigo & Co. Orihime's life has been far from ordinary. She was born to an abusive father and a prostitute mother. Her Older brother Sora was the light for her life and he took her away as soon as he turned 18 and raised her himself. Orihime had great admiration for her brother and was truly grateful that he was there to protect her. 6 years later he died and Orihime was forced to live on her own with financial support from a family member. As a momento for her brother Orihime always has her blue hair pins with her. These are the hairpins that she would eventually use to protect her friends. 

After her brother's death Orihime had difficulty moving on, wishing for him to protect and care for her again. It was through meeting her friend Tatsuki (and later Ichigo & Co.) and beginning to open up to them that she was able to let her brother go. Because of everything that has happened in her life Orihime becomes extremely loyal to those she cares about. It is her deep desire to protect and take care of her friends that created her spiritual abilities. When Tatsuki was under the attack of a hollow Orihime stood up and vowed to protect her even before her powers had manifested. It was that very fight that gave birth to her spiritual abilities.

It is Orihime's love and loyalty that forces her out into the battlefield every time. She went with Ichigo to Soul Society to help him save Rukia, even though she had only known her in passing. If she was important to Ichigo then she was worth fighting for. She also willingly followed Aizen into Hueco Mundo because she did not want to trouble her friends with more fighting and violence. She was almost upset to find that they had come to save her because she knew they would only be faced with more hardships than she thought she was worth. She is not one to fight unless it is necessary. She is not nearly as strong as her other companions and she knows it. Sometimes the only thing she is capable of is support, but she will stand there and give it until the very end. 

Orihime is kind and accepting of everyone she meets. She wants to find the best in anyone, even when others may think there is nothing there. She is very outgoing and not afraid to make the best of a bad situation. She tends to mother those around her, bringing them food or checking in on them when they become sick but she is also very respectful of their wishes and if she knows they would rather be alone she will only hope for their recovery and leave them alone. She is very empathetic and able to pick up on a person's emotional state despite what they may say or do. She also has a bad habit of putting everyone's feelings before herself. When confronted with the idea that maybe Ichigo cared more for Rukia she was ready to surrender before even beginning. It was only thanks to Matsumoto that she was even able to consider that he could care for her too and that she shouldn't give up without a fight. 

She is extremely imaginative and often delves into her daydreams leaving everyone around her confused. Despite this she is also able to remain focused when it counts, whether it's durring a battle or studying for school. She maintains extremely high marks in her classes. She was also able to master spiritual techniques extremely quickly, much to Ichigo's chagrin. 

Orihime does not have a fighting spirit. She does not have the will to kill someone else and this greatly caps her abilities. She has been told that she should stay off the battle field and leave the fighting to those who have the will for it but she cannot accept this because she wants to become strong enough that she can protect herself. She is tired of being the burden on those around her. She trains hoping to hone her skills enough before she is kidnaped by Aizen. After the war with Aizen Orihime appears to have matured. She appears more determined and willing to fight, something she struggled with before the 18 months passed. It is unclear as to whether or not she can stand her own on a battlefield. 


» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON:
Orihime's weapon is a rapier with an estoc edge. This means it has no cutting edge, only a pointed end. It is made of a metal much stronger than the conventional iron or steel, but it is also very light weight which allows for more agility. The hilt of the rapier is an oversized cup style with intricate designs of hibiscus carved around it. The pommel is a bright aqua stone.

This sword is made specifically to be used as a defensive weapon, made exceptionally strong to block and defer attacks from more powerful weapons. The hilt is oversized to be used as a small shield. Despite all of this it does have a very sharp pointed end that can penetrate through armor and can be used offensively if necessary. 

Chosen SKILLSET:
In canon Orihime is most certainly not a fighter, but I want her "forced" into it so to speak while in Exilium. She possesses extremely high defense and healing capabilities and with her weapon she should be able to have enough attack power behind her to be not completely useless on the battlefield. She'll get better over time. 

» SAMPLES
First PERSON:
[Video Post]
[A young woman with bright orange hair is appearing on the communicator. Her face has a look of slight worry, but she tries to mask that with a more joyful tone.]
Um, Hello? 
They told me to use this to communicate so, ah, I'm looking for anyone in room X. I have a key but…I can't find the room in the housing building. I'm sorry! I hope it's not too much trouble. 

Third PERSON:
Before arriving here in Exsilium Orihime was unsure if she would ever be strong enough to fight. She was still unsure now but somehow this was different. Maybe it was her new rapier? Maybe it was her new friends? She wasn't sure where this new resolve had come from but she was extremely thankful for it. Someday when she returned to Karakura town, because there was no doubt to her that she <i> would </i> return, she would be able to fight along side her friends instead of weighing them down. She would finally be strong enough for them. Maybe that is where this resolve had come from? 

"Koten Zanshun!" 

She deploys her shield as she rushes in. Before receiving her weapon here she would have never been so brazen in a fight. Her strength was in the defense, not the offense. Now though, when she held onto her rapier she felt at ease, as if it was telling her she could do this, she could be stronger! She blocked an attack with a perry, then countered with a thrust. 

"I won't go easy on you today, ok!"

She called out to her opponent. They nodded back, accepting her challenge. If only her training sessions back at home had been like this, perhaps she would have grown as quickly as she was here.

How would they use their abilities?:
Orihime uses he abilities to aid her friends and protect them. Her shield and healing abilities are strong, and she is the only one out of her team that has the ability to heal. Orihime was also forced to use her powers to heal an Espada as a demonstration to Aizen. She repaired Grimmjow's arm.

Appearance:
Orihime is a more or less average looking teen. She stands at 5'2", has brown eyes, and orange hair that reaches mid back. She also has a pair of flower shaped hairpins that she wears religiously in memory of her brother. They are also the source of her spiritual power. Orihime is "blessed" with a rather voluptuous chest. While at school Orihime wears the Karakura school uniform. A grey pleated skirt, buttoned up white blouse and red neck bow. While not at school Orihime wears a lot of dresses and skirts. She has a very casual style. When she is taken prisoner she is forced to wear an arrancar uniform that is trademark white with black trimmings.

Background:
Orihime is the typical Japanese High school student at the beginning of the story. You quickly learn that her life is not as typical as it seems. She lives in Karakura town by herself supported by relatives. Her father was a drunk and her mother was a prostitute. She had an older brother that ran away with her when she was 3 and raised her until he died in a car accident. Despite her insane home life and family she remains cheerful and optimistic. She is classmates and friends with Kurosaki Ichigo, the hero of the story. He gains the abilities of a Soul Reaper when Kuchiki Rukia , a shinigami, is unable to fight of the hollow that is attacking his family. A hollow is a race born from a human soul that cannot pass on into the spirit world. After Ichigo gains these powers he is forced to defend Orihime when her dead brother Sora returns to her as a hollow. Ichigo is able to defeat him and protect Orihime. Soon after this incident Hollows attack students outside of school with the ability to control the student's bodies. In an atempt to help a classmate Orihime's best friend, Tatsuki is taken over by the hollow. Orihime wants to protect her so desperately she is able to conjure up abilities. It is later learned that her contact with the Hyogoku was what sparked the creation of her abilities. Orihime is able to use her shields and attacks to fend off the hollow and heal her friend. As soon as her fight has ended a man in a hat and clogs comes and takes her to his shop to explain what is happening.

Orihime finds herself a member of a rescue mission when Kuchiki Rukia is taken back to soul society and sentenced to death. Orihime knows that Ichigo wants to rescue her and so she, along with several other friends decide that they will assist him. They are trained in their new abilities by Yourichi, a former shinigami. Upon arriving in soul society the group pairs off to travel more effectively. Orihime is paired with Ishida Uuryu, a classmate and the last Quency. The Quency are a tribe that kill Hollows. While Orihime attempts to fight while in soul society her offensive powers are too weak to be of any use. She is able to protect and heal her comrades, and it becomes increasingly apparent that her strength lies in her defensive abilities (Urahara Kiske).

While in Soul Society the group discovered that the 5th division captain, Souske Aizen, had faked his own death in order to carry out an evil plot. After the successful rescue of Rukia he retreated into Hueco Mundo, the world of the hollows.

The team returned to Karakura but of course like did not return to normal. It wasn't long before Aizen's new henchmen began to invade the human world. Called Arrancar, they were hollows that he had given shinigami powers. Orihime was confronted and attacked by one of these Arrancar. Before Urahara and Yourichi arrive to fend off the Arrancar Orihime sustains massive injuries. She begins to get worried when Ichigo seems to vanish, but her nervous feelings are put to rest when she is able to pinpoint his spiritual power. She decided to follow the power and ends up at the Vaizard training ground, where Ichigo is learning to control his powers. The Vaizard are a group of former shinigami that have gained Hollow powers. While there she is able to speak with Hachi, a vaizard that shares powers similar to hers. He is able to heal her attack fairy, Tsubaki who was injured by the arrancar.

Orihime decides to ask Uruhara to train her, she wants to get stronger. He tells her that she does not have the will to fight. She is not like her comrades, the all strike with intent to kill. Orihime cannot do that, and even though she wants desperately to depend on herself and fight he tells her she will never be capable. Orihime takes this very hard and refuses to believe it at first, trying to train with Rukia in soul society.

Aizen becomes intrigued by Orihime's unique abilites and orders to have her taken prisoner. She is captured by Ullquiorra, one of Aizen's Espada. He gives her the ultimatum to either follow him to Hueco Mundo or he would kill her friends. She is allowed a final goodbye to Ichigo while he sleeps. She is put in a tower and forced to wear an arrancar uniform. Once Ichigo and the others find out that she has been taken they begin a rescue mission. While a prisoner Orihime is attacked by two arrancar girls, and she is nearly killed when Grimmjow, another of the espada, breaks through the wall and attacks the girls. He takes Orihime in chains and tells her he isn't doing this for her, that he just wants to use her abilities. He brings her to Ichigo and forces her to heal him, only so that he can fight with him once again. She complies. After Ichigo defeats Grimmjow another Arrancar (Nnoitora) appears to fight him. It is obvious Ichigo cannot fight another battle. Orihime tries to defend him, but is held back by Nnoitora's Fraccion. It is at this point Nel, the arrancar child Ichigo had been traveling with upon arriving in Hueco Mundo, transforms into her true self and reveals that she is the former tres Espada. She is able to fight Nnoritora,but before finishing him off she reverts back to her child form. Orihime tries to heal Ichigo at this point, but he insists she heal Nel. At this point the calvary arrives in the form of 2 shinigami captains.

After Nnoritora is defeated Stark (an espada) arrives and take Orihime captive once again. He brings her to Aizen where he informs her that her purpose was to destract everyone while he invaded and destroyed Karakura town. Now that her job and been fulfilled he released her and allowed her to return to her friends.

Personality:
Orihime lives and breaths for the people that she loves. She considers her friends her family. They are the driving force for everything that she does. She only wants to see them happy and protected. She will do anything in her power to ensure that both of these things happen. She has the ability to protect and heal them physically, but sometimes for her that isn't enough.

She went willingly to Hueco Mundo because the thought of endangering or causing her friends trouble was worse than essentially going to hell. She agreed to go to save them from pain and worry, even though she knew that going wouldn't prevent either. It was still worth trying. When she received the news that they had come to save her it was almost as if she was unhappy, unhappy because she knew this meant they would face more hardships on her behalf.

She is not a fighter, she doesn’t have the will or ability but if the people she cares about find themselves in danger she is the first to try and protect them. She wishes desperately that she had the strength to defend herself. She gets frustrated when others have to protect her, though she never shows it outwardly. She knows she is weak, but it doesn't make it easier to accept.

She has a kind and friendly disposition, trying never to let anything bring her down. She can be a little absent minded at times, and has a very overactive imagination. This often leads to her rambling off on tangents leaving whoever she was speaking with utterly confused. She also fancies herself a cook, but her concoctions are often bazaar and unappetizing.

For applicants considering an alternate version of a character already in game, please use this as your chance to explain the key differences between your character and the one already in play:  N/A

Have you read up on how the game works?: flaming ferret. Jobs, bumming, stealing

1st person sample:
[a very excited Orihime apears on screen holding a large platter of what LOOKS like delicious cupcakes. The key word here is look. She excitedly announces what she has done.]

Ah, everybody? I made some cupcakes. They’re my favorite flavor, Coconut Salmon and blueberry! I hope that you like them.  I made enough to share, Kurosaki-kun, Urahara-san, Yourichi-san, Ukitake-san, anybody that wants to try one! I'm in the kitchen, hurry because they're still warm!

3rd person sample:
The ship was so strange, but then again she had been to a few strange places. After soul society and hueco mundo a spaceship should be easy, right? She picked up speed as she walked to her first job, there was still so much to explore here, but she couldn't be late!  At first she had been nervous about picking up the odd jobs. She had no real experience doing anything and her abilities didn't lend themselves to many job descriptions. She wasn't like Kurosaki-kun. She was unsure until she saw the listing:

Pastry Chef
Needed Monday-Wednesday 8-4
Good Pay
No Formal Training Needed

It was a match made in heaven! She had been cooking for herself for years and it was something that she loved to do. She had a whole recipe box she had developed over the years, delicacies such as curry with coconut and peanutbutter and mackerel pancakes topped with chocolate and spinach. As far as she knew all of her friends loved her cooking. The always gave her smiles and nods of delight when she asked how it was. What she didn't know was that as soon as she turned around or left the room they immediately spit into the closest napkin. It looked like the S.S. Thor was in for a unique experience to say the least.


Questions?: Nope

Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject: Yep

[the sound comes in sounding slightly full of static. At first thats all that can be heard, but if you listen closely you can hear the sound of crying in the distance. The recording lasts for about a minute and then cuts off. ]

Um…I'm sorry person who's body I have but I don't think we've met. I promise to take good care of it for you though!

KUROSAKI-KUN!
He's ok!

this is all very strange, I am in the story too but I don't remember this part.



Kuchiki-san has gone back home it seems, I hope she is safe returning, if this manga is accurate it may not be the best time to go.

Ah,
I was so happy to see my friends appear in this place, but I haven't heard from them in so long.
Ishida-san, Kutchiki-san, Grimmjow-sama?

Are you ok?

Kurosaki-san has gone home I hear, but I'm sure he's much happier there with his family.

I wonder how Kurosaki-kun is doing…

Oh dear, what happened to everybody? You all sound sick!
Is there anything I can do to help?

(private to everyone but Grimmjow (yes I know he's dropped...but SHE doesn't))

Has anyone seen Grimmjow-sama? I know he would be angry at me for worrying but…he hasn't been back here in a really long time.

Uhm…
Gomen nasai, but what were our homework assignments again?
I forgot ^/////^

(ooc: Hime-chan the resident DITZ)

[recorder clicks on]

The barrier went down, I am not as strong as Kakyoin, but I am forming a shield in front of the civilians and medical unit. Hopefully the guard can protect us, but while I have the power to protect you all with my shield I will do it! Please everyone be safe, I am going to hold this as long as I can.

Santen Kesshun, I reject!

[a pause and then heavy breathing]

It…its taking a lot to hold, I don't know how long I can support a shield this big…please…please hurry

[recorder continues to pick up heavy breathing and eventually clicks off]
