Experiment Soul Breaker
Name:Sipher
Gender: Male
Age appearance: early 20's
Personality: Before the experiments he was a cocky youth in the Soul Society. After the experiment he is reclusive and tactile.
Bio: Sipher was a human before dying and becoming part of the soul society, where he found promise in being a soul reaper. After beginning a successful education in the soul reaper academy he made a few friends, and a few enemies, nothing too bad. Him and some squad members where thrust into a fatal training mission. As it turned out, the Soul Society weren't the only ones to perform experiments. Sipher and his crew were attacked by arrancar and brought to Hueco Mundo, where the head of R&D experimented heavily on his body. His squad was wiped out except him. During an experiment Sipher was hooked into a machine. There was very little naked skin on him not covered in tubing of some kind. The Espada R&D captain wanted to test how much of a hollows spirit you could inject into a shinigami destroy their soul. Fortunately for Sipher the hollow didn't want the transformation as much as he did. When they started the operation, the tubes all started pumping reishi from the hollow into him. This resulted in the making of a hybrid vaizard. Sipher went full hollow killing everyone in the lab, save for mortally wounding the R&D captain. The captain was able to transport Sipher to the human world before he could could break away completely. The experiment did change him though. A part of the hollow resides in him, giving him an affinity for shadows. The added reishi allowed him to gain enough power to rival a full-fledged shinigami.
Appearance sad Will come soon) Tall, long black hair, long trench coat, dark pants, and black sneakers.

First release: (always released) Eiga (Shadow Fang)
Appearance: Just a Black Saber sword.

-Speed
-Cutting power
-Almost impervious to physical attacks.
Weaknesses:
-Kido attacks
-Epic blasts of energy
-Useless defending against buster type blades.

Second release: Kage No Ame (Shadow Rain)

+Attack

Ultima form
This is the form when Sipher completely relies on his hollow for an all out attack. This technique is called Kuro no chi ame (Black Blood Rain.)

Wherever Sipher is the sky, room, anywhere, everything turns dark. Clouds of darkness spread from the sky and the full of Siphers power is shown. Deadly shadow energy rips down from the sky similar to Byakuyas petals. Using this attack is his last resort. There's a good chance after this if he doesn't kill his opponent he will die himself.

EXPIRAMENT 0012
Name: Hana Shiba
Gender: female
Age appearance: 20
Personality: Normally a calm, cool person, but easily provoked if you are threatening her or someone she cares about.
Bio: She was originally the daughter of Kaien Shiba and his wife before they died. She was only a baby at the time. Kukaku raised her for a while, but one day, she simply disappeared... Taken in secret by research and development. They experimented on her since she was very little, and erased many of her childhood memories. First, they did visored experiments on her, and decided to take a step further, trying to tap more into her hollow side, which was actually able to give her an arrancer's first release. When she was set free, she left the Seireitei immediately, escaping through the senkaimon that was released for her.

Though she was experimented on most of her life, she was able to hold onto her sanity. She has a cracked arrancar's mask, which she is able to remove, but never breaks away or leaved her side. It's usually tied to her belt at her waist. After being in the world of the living for so long, she met Kisuke Urahara, who offered her a gegai free of charge if she would humor him with a few questions and examinations. She accepted, though she didn't like the idea of being a test subject again

After getting her gegai, she was able to find an apartment, and she resides there now.
Appearance: She has medium length dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She's average in height and weight, and tends to wear comfortable clothes. I'll draw a picture later.
