The rules for abilities is simple.
*No illusions. These are over powered and the reason why those cannon characters are forbidden. They are easily god-modded and abused.
*No time manipulation. Pretty easy it is to powerful.
Those are the main rules, but here are some suggestions.
Try and keep the number of abilities to a low. try and find a single all-encompassing theme for your character, and then make specific abilities. Try not to make too many, or it becomes confusing.
Your powers are non reflectant on your power level. We judge on how much effort was used, and how good we think you would do.
At the end of your application you will place your starting stats. After you are approved you can edit your stats with the upgraded number. The stats will determine you normal abilities (shunpo/sonido, kido/cero)

If you want a half hollow/human then you can be possessed by your hollow, but not have a mask. your hollow has control, but your "control" determines how well you and your hollow understand each other, and if your hollow is willing to help you.
Inner Hollow: like a zanpakuto spirit it lives inside you.
Mask Description: what it looks like. It doesn't even have to be a mask, and can be in various locations and shapes.
Mask Powers: What hollow powers the mask gives you. Choose from these.(Don't choose too many. You are not a hollow, but merely have powers similar. If you ad to many it will make you look over-powered) Cero, Bala, Sonido, Garganta, Pesquisa, Enhanced Prowess.
