Biography/History:
Kiva believe it or not was a former Shinigami that was enlisted in to squad 7, that had a captain whom also had a canine appearance at the time. After Kiva began taking missions and more he became the squads 5th seat and like his captain hide his appearance in a mask or helmet. Later he would be told to go on a dangerous mission with 10 other individual to find a dangerous hollow and eliminate it. After about 5 weeks of the mission seat a search party was sent to find the shinigami all where dead and Kiva was seen still fighting the hollow as his mask was being broken in the battle, as he fellow shinigami lay fatally wounded on the ground. During the fight his mask/ helmet was completely destroyed, exposing his face.
Before the search party could save him from the hollow, Kiva was killed and his body said to have been taken in to the hollow. After two Vice-Captains killed the hollow in a furious battle that lasted several nights. All that was left of Kiva was his helmet which they gave to the captain. Kiva was later made a hero for saving several of his fellow Shinigami, his helmet and some remains where given a honorable grave site. After which he was just a memory to be remembered at times or forgotten.
Years passed and Kiva was a now a hollow, with a Hound/ Hell Hound like appearance and he had a powerful hunger. He devoured hundreds of his own kind to become a Gallian class hollow and continued to eat. There where some points where he was almost killed by stronger hollows but he was able to avoid death by getting his foes into traps and ambushing them with a Dooms Blast, than devouring their upper body after fatally wounding them. After about 65-80 years, Kiva evolved into a Adjucha. As and Adjucha he had a werewolf like form, but could walk/ run on all four if he truly wished. In battle he was known for his quick front attacks and quick reflexes. He killed and devoured many of his own kind and was known in the desert as Hades Cerberus. After about 195-200 years of fighting, killing, and devouring, Kiva had reached his level of evolution, but wanted more power.
Later he would meet a man named Aizen that wanted his powers and cold heart in his army. But when Kiva was reborn as an Arrancar Kaname Tuosen disliked his appearance, so he was seen as a failed attempt and dumped into the middle of the desert. He was left do die like trash, just another memory like his past life to be forgotten or little remembered. He would wonder through the desert for years before entering the Menos Forest and making a cave his home for all eternity. Never to be seen outside for another 2 years.
Later in his life Kiva returned to Las Nochas only to see it was run by a new group of Arrancar, stronger, fast, and more suited to be the rulers there. Kiva begged to join but was seen as a weak outcast that Aizen trashed long ago, but after asking and refusing to leave he was granted into this new world of Arranacar, power, and strength. Hoping to prove that he is not a useless weakling or failed attempt of any kind.
Powers:
Cero (虚閃):
Like all other Hollows, they can use this blast technique. The Espada user fires a laser blast of great, concentrated destruction. While the color of most Ceros is red/crimson, several members of the Espada appear to have great color variations in their Cero.
Bala (虚弾 （バラ）):
Is an Arrancar alternative to the Cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Though somewhat weaker than a Cero blast, it moves about twenty times much faster than a Cero and can be fired at a much higher rate. This technique was first demonstrated by Wonderweiss Margera against Kisuke Urahara, and elaborated upon by Yammy during the same battle.
Garganta (黒腔 （ガルガンタ）):
Is how Arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. Kaname Tōsen and Kisuke Urahara have also demonstrated the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.
Hierro (鋼皮 （イエロ）):
Refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar have proportionally stronger skin. Nnoitra Jiruga claimed his Hierro is toughest amongst the Espada; being of higher rank than Nnoitra, Ulquiorra's Hierro appears to be much tougher.
Pesquisa (探査回路 （ペスキス）):
Is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions similar to a sonar. Using Pesquisa requires most Espada to enter a meditative state; however, Nnoitra has a variation of this technique that involves placing his fingers to the ground to determine an opponent's approximate location as well as the amount of Spiritual Pressure an opponent has.
Sonído (響転 （ソニード）):
Is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for Flash Steps. Zommari claims that his Sonído is the fastest amongst the Espada; Starrk and Ulquiorra appear to be faster, however, being the Primera and Cuarta, respectively.
RP Sample
Kiva the 23rd Arrancar enters Lord Aizen and Commander Gin and Tousen chamber room. Kiva bowed to Aizen as he looked down at him as if he where an annoying ant that needed to learn the respectful way of knocking. "Lord Aizen I have my report ready for you..." Kiva said as he held his head low looking at the ground as he was on one knee bowing to the Aizen and the Commanders. Kiva was created and abandon, but continued to serve Aizen, for the purpose of a new world in Aizen's vision. As Aizen nodded and waved his hand for Kiva to continue, Tousen appeared behind Kiva with his blade drawn. "We throw you out of Las Nochas and continue to come back, you are nothing but a failed attempt and a lost cause..." Tousen said harshly as he held his blade closer to Kiva's neck cutting it and making blood flow out and drip to the floor. Gin smiled and simple looked at Kiva as he walked down from the steps away from Aizen's thrown. "My, my Tousen no need to be so rude, he is making use of himself as a spy and a informant..."Gin said as he stopped just in front to Kiva and Tousen. The tension was growing and Kiva was in the middle of two fearsome creatures form the very pits of hell, but before anything happened, Aizen rose from his throne and began to walk down. "I Aizen will listen to your Report, Kiva..."he said stopping in the middle of the steps to his throne and waiting Kiva to speak.
Kiva in fear just looked at Tousen whom only gave him a harsh look and than Gin whom looked pleased that Aizen stood up and spoke. "Yes, my lord, the Former Espada have just begun battle with the intruders and the 8th Esapda is planning something without your order my lord." kiva paused fearing he was nothing but a spy looking for his minute of fame. "I fear it may get out of hand if the intruders continue the way they are going..." Kiva finished with a silent stare at Aizen before bowing his head down again in respect to him. There was silent until Gin spoke out with a bit of a chuckle at Tousen. "See Tousen,no need to kill him until he is seen useless to Aizen-sama..." he said as he turned and walked away back to Aizen's side. Tousen simple put away his blade and walked back to his maser's side without a word from his mouth, though he did give Kiva a look before Lord Aizen dismissed him so that he and the commanders could talk about his report, though they already knew about what Kiva had reported. That was the day when Kivameet his master and his cold eyes. The man that will rule with fear and power.
