~Character Data~
Name: Kushin Plateo, but call me Gaku.
Age: reaching into his late 500's after his death.
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: June 18th
Date of Death: July 4th
Status Rank: Rogue Arrcanar
Numero Rank: Does not really care
Zanpaktou: Diodelre: His Zanpaktou is a strange one indeed, the guard is merely a stream of lines. It coils around, twisting and turning as if it was a tree. The handle is a deep black as his sheath is a dark navy blue. For a more detailed description please click here.
Orientation: I am independent
Personality: The sight of Gaku you would believe that he was some sort of elegant being; manners, grace, and other propertties of royalty. As you are correct, all except the royalty part, holding a cold stare that would pierce threw you like a dagger. As if he held a grudge againist somthing, cold and silent nature would be the best to describe him. As he holds many secrets that he reveals to no one being known as a kind man even though he holds to willingness to thanks by anyone. Giving food to those who have had none, helps those who could not move, bringing medicine an much more to those where ever they may be: Soul Society, The Human world, or even Hueco Mundo. Those, who had no home no help only shunded from society he deeps that need help he will help, but rarely gives off a smile.
~Background~
Mask Remnant: The reminant of his hollow mask resides on the top left part of his face. Many would believe it to be a partially shattered Vizard mask. It covers part of his face, only to the top of his cheek and the area around his eye.
Hollow Hole: Gaku's hollow hole resides in the depths of his lower torso. It resides right under his belly button and stops right were his waist begins.
Number Area: If I hold a number it would reside right on the back of his left hand.
Height: He stands a a height of 6'1"
Weight: 189 lbs
Physical Appearance: Gaku's body would be reconized as the perfect body. His muscles as dense yet he holds a very small stature. His body may be small but it is powerful. He holds a athletic body stature but even his muscles have muscles on them.
History: Growing into birth Gaku held loving parents as well as alittle brother who he cared for dearly. His father leaving as his mother went threw a time of insanity crying everytime that he was gone, tears falling down her face as she would be franic, as if he had abandoned her. Telling him to 'never leave her again' holding dear to him as she held no feelings toward his blood brother. As he was the only one who took care of him, as they were truly close knowing that he held many deep emotions withing him, Gaku would always tease him by telling him. "Your not gonna cry are you?" As he was actually telling him it was alright to cry but his brother never got it, as he though. One faithful day his mother went to far holding an Axe as she held Lazzy onto a wall, All that Gaku could think of was to stop her, and all that was left was a sword he used to pratice with. In the next instant, all that he could feel was the warmth of his own mothers blood and the coll rush of his tears as he looked down toward his confused and frightened brother. He saved him and all he could do after that was nothing, leaving vanishing, and to never return, until he saw fit. Apon, leaving the Soul Society he was instantly chased down by the second squad. They were quick and power beings, that would kill in silence. He only had one thing to do and that was to attack, slaughtering them all Gaku stood with bodies everywhere. He knew that they would send more as he had only one thing to do. He had to go to Hueco Mundo.
Apon, his enterance to the hollow world he stood in the vast dessert area. He stood there with his zanpakuto in his hand. He did not know it's name, so he could not release it's full abilities. Closing his eyes to the empty place he opened them only to watch the armies of hollows rushing across the landscape. Without any thought, he threw everything away. Ludging forward, he took on the onslaught of hollows. Taking down each and everyone he stood there, out of breath as blood was tainting the pure white sand of this place. As something happened to him in that instant. Something bit into his shoulder, something powerful. Turning around he saw something ghastly it was known as the Hollow King. A Vasto Lorde of Vasto Lordes. He couldn't imagine it's power as it feasted on his soul. Holding a smile, Gaku looked up toward the sky as he was slowly devoured. As he saw his brother, and wished that he would be alright.
Upon, turning into a hollow the old Hollow king told him something that he shouldn't have known for atleast another hundreds of years. 'Take off your mask, and show everyone your true power' The being spoke, as if it did all of that for a reason. As Gaku's Hollow form was nothing that looked like a monster, he stood tall and was human like. Removing his demonic mask, the hollow stood up shaking the very ground and transformed into something even more deadly. He was now an Arrcanar, something move devious than anything in this world. As now the hollows shook with fear in sight of him as his Zanpakto had reappeared on his hip, as he would now roam the worlds to show true justice to all.

~Resurrecion~
Release Phrase: Show them the stairway to Heaven: Diodelre
Release State: Grace and beauty
What happens during release state: A faint mist fills the air, just as the sky morphs changing into a deep redish black. A bright whitish red moon hangs above only to reside right above Gaku. Soon the moon shatters, as the sky begins to melt falling down and coiling around Gaku only to shatter and show his true form. His horns grown longer as a tail grows from his spinal cord. He does not really change as much as normal Arrcanar, as he seems much more human like.
Powers and abilities: After releasing Gaku gains the ability of space. Slashing down, he is able to create a portal to any place he desires. There is a catch to this power, he must have been there once before he has the ability to move there. During this he is able to hold it open as long as he wishes, the maximum amount of time is an hour as the shortest is 1/25 of a second. During this is can bring himself into the portals as well as other beings. Once entering the portal the speed of the object increases by it's original speed multiplied by another quarter of it's own. Thus, things moved within the portals increase there speed greatly.
He is able to control where he and other's go once they move into the portal. He is able to create a portal enterance and exit at seperate times. He does not need to have an exit at the very moment of the first once created.
More will be added, I just can't think of any at the moment.

Appearance
Name: Anya "Anny" Kozuki
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: December Twelfth
Date of Death: February Fourtenth
Status Rank: Privaron?
Numero Rank:
Zanpaktou: Mordred: A long Katana type blade that his a design of a dragon along the blade and a sash that is attached at the end of the hilt that is Blue-ish White.
Orientation: Aizen
Personality: Anya is quite an interesting type of person. She loves to have fun. Although when irratated, she can be a pain in the a**. But that rarely happens. Anya is the fastest Priveron there is. Just by using Sonido she could surpass the speed of sound.
~Background~
Mask Remnant: Left Mouth
Hollow Hole: Middle Collor Bone Area
Number Area: Underneath Right Eye
Height: 5'1
Weight: 110
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Deep Brown
Physical Appearance: Small, Fit
History:
~Techniques~
Cero (Atk) (虚閃, lit. "hollow flash"; the pronunciation is Spanish for "zero") are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from either the mouth or hand. Only menos, arrancar, and vizard have so far been shown to use cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entites can use it more efficiently.
Hierro (鋼皮, lit. "steel skin;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "iron") refers to the ultra tough 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. 60% and below would have no chance of breaking through however, 70% -110% would allow the arrancar to still defend a few turns bare skinned, and anything beyond 110% would cause medium to high damage depending on the attack.
Gemeros Sondio - By adding an additional number of steps to a sonido, it actually goes as far as to leave behind after images making it appear as if clones were being made. Though it greatly drains the user, it's utility is reserved only for the fastest of Espada. Requires extensive training from a current or former Espada.
Bala (Atk) (虚弾, lit. "hollow bullet;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "bullet") is a weaker but quicker alternative to regular cero blasts. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it at around twenty times the speed of a cero. Can only be learned and used after leaning and mastering Cero.
Gran rey cero (Atk) (王虚の閃光, lit. "royal hollow flash;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "great king zero"). Only Espada are capable of using this version cero technique. In Hueco Mundo, the power of the technique is such that it warps the space around the point it was fired from. Can only be learned and used after leaning and mastering Cero and Bala.
Garganta (Mov) (黒腔, lit. "black cavity;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "throat") is how arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. 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. 1000 benimitsu to use a two way trip gate, the return point will always be Hueco Mundo.
Pesquisa (探査回路, lit. "inquiry circuit;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "inquiry") is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami ability to sense spiritual pressure. It functions similar to sonar detecting those even invisible to the naked eye and annoying reiatsu hiding techniques.
Sonido (響転, lit. "resounding revolution;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "sound") is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami flash steps; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of sonido is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for flash steps.
~Resurrecion~
"Rise, Mordred, Devour All"
Appearence: Anya's Resurrecion starts off with long claws that grow from her knuckles. As it starts to finish it's true appearance is the claws that are at her knuckles, a helmet that covers her eyes and just a little over the back of her head and she grows these type of wings that enables her to take flight and also increases her speed dramatically.
Abilities: Coming Soon

~Character Data~
Appearance
Name: Espina
Age: Appears 23
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: January 19th, 1900
Date of Death: May 23rd, 1923
Status Rank: Privaron...hopefully?
Numero Rank: Hopefully?
Zanpaktou: Luna Verde:: Her Zanpaktou is a simple one- no different or more odd than the next. It is a Nodachi resembling sword, almost identical to any other Zanpakto. The only thing that sets it apart is that the tip of the blade itself is broken off, and only a ragged and sharp edge remains.
Orientation: Aizen
Personality: Calm and calculating, Espina is a woman with little words to say. She can easily be described as a whack job too- always mumbling nonsense to herself, and always playing with her fingers, her messy appearence doesn't help much either. She doesn't speak often, but when she does, however, true brilliance roll out of her mouth. For what she lacks in words, she makes up for in sheer intelligence. She is a smart Arrancar, and prefers not to fight when it is unnecessary. She isn't one of the stronger Arrancar...but if the time ever arrives to wield her sword, she uses Battle Strategy and smarts to outduel her opponent. Not the strongest of fighters, she is definietly one of the smartest.
~Background~
Mask Remnant: Little of her mask is left in tact. Only shards and splinters of her shattered mask remain strewn amongst her hair.
Hollow Hole: Espina's hole is located on her left collarbone.
Number Area: Her previous number resides on her left shoulder blade.
Height: 5'5
Weight: 114
Hair: Oddly, Espina has messily short ash gray hair. Her hair hangs limply in her face and is flayed and matted.
Eyes: Espina has golden yellow eyes
Physical Appearance: Espina is thin in the extreme and can almost be described as anorexic. She also has tanned brown skin, despite remaining in the dark for long periods of time. And with her short build and gray hair it is easy to mistake her for an old man from behind. However, unlike the other Arrancar's uniforms hers is a little odd. The right sleeve of her uniform is torn off at the shoulder, leaving her arm hanging free. Her arm itself is covered in odd black tattoos; swirls and patterns of mysterious meaning that is said to have been etched into her skin by herself.
History: When she was alive, Espina did in fact have a case of "sticky" fingers. Growing up in the 1910's, she would have the habit of pick pocketing the newspaper boys, stealing the neighbor's tangerines, and even stealing penny toys from the store. But of course, if her father ever found out that she had stolen something, she would receive a lickin' but that didn't stop Espina. The very next day she would steal another thing- but would be more careful not to get caught. Eeven throughout her teenage years she would steal from people- and sometimes even from animals; such as the case when she stole eggs from the neighbor's chicken coop.
Well, when she was much older during the 1920's Espina's moves got bolder. She would start pick pocketing total strangers in the streets, start stealing the keys out of lazy police officers' pockets, and even start stealing bootleg liquor from the smugglers one bottle at a time. She eventually got so cocky that she attempted to hold up a Train. On her own without any help, Espina was easily taken down- and her hijack a total failure. She was arrested and sent to the Electric Chair.
When she awoke, she didn't have the luxury of arriving in the Soul Society. There were no local Soul Reapers around when she died, so she was easily picked off by Hollows. Now a Hollow, she still had the urge to steal from others. She would bully the weaker Hollows into giving her their souls and would hustle the lower classes into free meals. She kept up her old habits for awhile until she picked on the wrong Hollow. She threatened him that if he didn't hand over his food to her she would kill him. He didn't listen. Instead of heeding her fake threats, he beat her a** up and sent her crying home to her momma. With her pride in shreds and her reputation in black, she placed a vendetta against the Hollow. She vowed that instead of eating his meals, she would devour him one day instead.
She ate and ate and ate until there were no weak hollows left...and then she moved on to the next course. She ate her fill and more until she finally clawed off her own mask. She didn't have the luxury of eating that mysterious Hollow though- she somehow was never able to locate him again. There have been rumors that he already got rubbed out by a Shinigami, but Espina refuses to listen to any of them.
~Techniques~
Cero- A concentrated blast of energy
Bala- A faster, weaker version of a Cero
Garganta- A door into Hueco Mundo she can use freely
Hierro- Refering to the hardened skin of an Arrancar
Sonido- The Hollow version of a Shinigami's Flash Step
~Resurrecion~
"Block out the sun, La Luna Verde."
After releasing her Resurrecion, her skin fades to a jet black and her body begins to smoke slightly- almost as though her skin has charred and blackened before an invisible fire. Her fingertips split and the bones of her fingers lash out into large, ivory talons. A second mouth also splits open in the back of her head- a giant maw lined with razors of teeth and a sickly black tongue. In her released form her previous wisdom and knowledge completely dissappear- and she acts more like an animal than an Arrancar.
Abilities: Hambriento Sol (Starving Sun)- Espina's second mouth on the back of her head actually spits out a handful of ivory rocks onto the ground. These "rocks" actually unfurl into white locusts, capable of devouring not only spirit energy and reiatsu, but also flesh and bones of her opponents. When destroyed, they meld with her body once more so she can use them again in a different battle.
Iloroso Cielo (Weeping Sky)- With this attack, Espina is able to have a sort of graviational pull on her enemies, forcing them to be dragged closer to her during the fight so she can incapacitate them more easily.
Temeroso Estrella (Fearful Star)- During this ability, Espina is able harden the bones-like protrusions sprouting from her fingers, and also make them double in size until they are almost reaching her shins. The newly hardened claws are twice as sharp and durable than her normal claws, and they are also longer and more hazardous.

~Character Data~ Appearance Name: Netami(Envy) Age: 320 Sex: Female Date of Birth: 1669 Date of Death: 1689 Status Rank: Privaron? Numero Rank: Whatever I get Zanpaktou: Flor (Flower)- Flor is nothing more then a katana. The blade itself is three feet tall and two inches thick. Another unique thing about the blade of her katana is the color. Painted green it also has a flower painted on it. The flower itself is a rose. The petals are red and the stem is black. The stem has black thorns and the stem reaches to the hilt. The hilt is purple and the grip is black. It is a very beautiful katana for such a deadly weapon.. Orientation: Aizen Personality: ~Background~ Mask Remnant: Small flower that sits on her hair Hollow Hole: (Location of the where your hollow hole is located on you) Number Area: shoulder Height: 6'2
Weight: 114lbs
Hair: Short and brown
Eyes: Brown
Physical Appearance: Having tanned skin she is opposite from most of the arrancar in the fact that her complexion is not pale. She often wears flowers on her clothing that are either roses or violets. The clothes that she wears are not unique since all of the arrancar wear them. However, she has her own style and she tries to do this to distinguish herself even more. A short shirt that only covers her busting breasts can be considered clothing on her top half. On the bottom half are shorts that stop halfway down her thighs. The shorts themselves are very tight and white as well. However, the shorts have black strips on the side.
Netami is only six foot and has an athletic build. Her main trap is her sex appeal and she knows how to use her body. Having still retained womanly features she tricks unexpected foes. Thorns grow out of her nails to make it seem like she has some long and pointy nails. The nails themselves are about two inches long. Long hair rushes down her back in the color green. Small thorns are embedded in her hair. The thorns in her hair are very small and will only cause minor cuts.
The only part of her hollow mask that she has left is the one in the shape of a small flower that is situated on her hair. The flower is not in bloom and looks like just a bud.
History:Her search was not long at all and she had in fact found the rogue shinigami that was in Hueco Munde. The fight was completely one sided and it ended before he even unsheathed his sword. Stunned at this she felt lost and finished. She begged to be killed but Aizen had another plan. He had seen the power within her and wanted her to become an Arrancar. He told of wonderful power and praise and she was all for it. Following him to his castle she began her transformation.
Only a few moments infront of this artifact that he kept hidden did she turn. Her body is how she is seen today and she was given a Zanpakuto. Aizen told her that it held powers that she would not believe and she would have to figure it out on her own. It did not take long before she was able to release her form and become even stronger. The power coursed through her veins but still there were others. She was put into the fold and given a number but it was not as famed as the ten Espada. She wanted to be like them and try as she could she was not close to being like one of them.
When Aizen left Hueco Munde and a few of the Espada were killed she knew it was her time to shine. She set off on her own in search of more power and to become the best. She just started on her journey and she hopes that her flower will fully bloom and she will become an espada.
~Techniques~
Fighting Style- During battle Netami flirts with her male opponents. Telling them how hot they are or how if she was still human what she would do to them. She also acts like she envies well looking woman opponents and will often make fun of them while they are fighting. She also likes to play with her prey and if she knows s for a fact that she is going to win she begins to take apart the opponent. The final ting she does to kill her opponent is to rip their heart out.
The ending of a fight with her as a victor is often accompanied by a whisper she likes to preach. Right before she kills her opponent she will kiss them and whisper in their ear. “Don’t you wish you were me?” This could be a play on words and how everyone should envy her. This is where her name comes from.
Regrowth- Having plant like abilities she has also been able to figure out a way to regrow herself. Just like a plant, you can cut off the stem but it will regrow back as long as it roots remain. If any appendages are cut off including her tail they are able to be grown back. However, there is a limit with this and she is only able to create new appendages twice for each limb.
~Resurrecion~
Envidia Flor! (Envy Flower)--
Netami Appearance: Once she releases her sword she is encased into buds. As if she herself was a flower that was yet mature. A few seconds later the flower opens up to reveal a new monster. The once tan skin has now turned to green and the thorns that were in her hair grow slightly. The hair itself becomes more like wire and takes on the appearance of roots. The hair stays the same length as well. The flower that was once a bud has now changed into a bloomed and mature flower. The flower itself covers a decent amount of the side of her face. This can be used as a defense against blows to her head. The nails from both her feet and hands grow to about 2-3 inches. Flowers such as roses and violets start to bloom all over her body as well. Finally the most obvious new addition is the three foot tail covered in 3 inch thorns. The thorns are rigged and as tough as stone. The tail is also full of muscle and one direct hit form it would knock a persons breathe out of them.
Zanpakuto Appearance: The Zanpakuto itself will turn into a pole arm. The pole arm looks like a blade that is wrapped around bark. The bark has numerous amounts of roots and flowers growing around it. The pole arm is about five feet in length and is very sharp. The bark that is part of the pole arm has many splinters and just being grazed by the weapon will cause a massive amount of wood in your body.
Release Abilities:
With the release of her Zanpakuto she is now able to take on the full abilities of a plant. That includes her being able to freely go through the ground at the same speed she would if she was running above ground. This leaves her with the skills of an assassin and the kind of enemy that you will never see in front of you. She also grows in defenses and it becomes harder to cut her skin.
Acid shot: She is able to create corrosive acid like many carnivorous plants. The acid itself is strong enough that it will melt away clothing as soon as it is applied but will take a few moments(one extra post) to burn the skin. If the acid is not taken off the skin(two posts) it will start to melt the skin. After one more post it will melt through any bone. If used properly the person affected by this will be in a lot of trouble of being melted.
Thorn Wrap: This is where her tail is put to the test. Raising up her tail she readies for her attack. Being a mid-close range attack she has to wait till her opponent is close to her for her to succeed. Taking her tail she attempts to grab the opponent in any way. Often then not if this succeeds the tail will try to break the bones or body of the person unlucky enough to be her grasp. The thorns on her tail help to add to the damage.
Floral Explosion: Practically being a plant she is able to create a special type of liquid. This liquid is not one to be messed with and in fact is by far the worst possible thing that can affect the opponent. The liquid that she excretes can cause hallucinations. These hallucinations are not that ordinary and will interact with the victim. They bring up dead relatives as zombies. These zombies will end up trying to eat the person affected. If the person affected has no dead relatives it will bring up no faced zombies that will attack them instead.
The effects do not show up right away and it takes 1 posts before it is complete. That means that after Netami has infected the victim they will not feel it until after the end of her next post. The effects of the poison last for two posts of the victim but it usually will not have to take that long because by that time she hopes to have already captured the victim.
This attack can only happen once because if the victim survives their body builds up an immune for the duration of the thread.
Floral Detonation- A last resort technique that will take out Privaron or Espada equivalent to or below her own level. Basically she absorbs her opponents and her own reiatsu together along with the reiatsu around them thus making herself into an condensed bomb of reiatsu. She will grab hold of the opponent or come near the opponent and self destruct into a massive floral explosion.

~Character Data~
Appearance
Name: Zalith Duergo
Age: 726
Sex: male
Date of Birth: 6th october
Date of Death: 5th april
Status Rank: ??
Numero Rank: ??
Zanpaktou: Regalo (Gift)- Waiting at the side of the surgeon scientist supreme is his Zanpakuto, rarely drawn except in times of dire need, when a release of his hollow powers is imminent. Zalith lacks skill with the sword, practising rarely and so cannot fight well with his Zanpakuto, quite justifying his usual habit of releasing immediately when the sword is shown to the foe. The blade is not very remarkable, it must be said. A katana, woefully regular and slightly dull, like metal that has not been polished in an age, yet retaining that crucial sharp edge. The guard is much like a four sided star with the colour and sheen of brass, with a simple wooden hilt wrapped in black thread. There are no unusual other features with this sword, near eternally held within its dull brown, unadorned sheathe at Zalith’s side.
Orientation: Aizen
Personality: Zalith Duergo, the personification of the statement, ‘the ends justify the means’. Zalith is a being that manages to be sadistic, cruel, masochistic and yet dedicated, determined and unswervingly loyal. His dedication is effectively towards one field and one field only, that being the reconstruction and repair of arrancar in Las Noches. He is the official chief of all medical services available within the white fortress, commanding teams of arrancar too weak or cowardly to fight in battle to heal injuries inflicted upon the others, those who are out risking their lives to fight each other, hollows or the cursed shinigami of Soul Society. Zalith has no real like or dislike of the other arrancar (save only Szayel Aporro Grantz, a man wholly inferior to his divine expertise), of course, be they acting with him to save lives or be they the ones being saved…they are all either tools, in the case of the former, or subjects, the latter. Zalith is quite different to other arrancar, in that he has utterly no preference for the soul in his presence; shinigami or arrancar, he would happily operate on either.
~Background~
Mask Remnant: (The location and description of the remnant of your mask, the reminder of your former hollow self.)
Hollow Hole: (Location of the where your hollow hole is located on you)
Number Area: (The area where the number signifying your rank is located)
Height: 6'1
Weight: 212lbs
Hair: dead gray
Eyes: He only has one which is white
Physical Appearance: Demon, monster, vile apparition, Zalith Duergo is an arrancar made so inhuman by his own twisted desires that he half resembles a hollow. This unusual creature is an emaciated and gaunt figure, taller than most and with far less flesh than may be expected from an individual of such imposing height. Not one to stoop, Zalith towers over many of his peers amongst the arrancar, another feature to intensify his terrible appearance. His skin, dark as night; the truth, however, is that this is not its natural tone but instead the result of horrific burns, leaving the body permanently blackened and damaged, any healing prevented by Zalith himself. Any fat and most muscle beneath that skin has been wasted away, through toil and neglect, leaving many bones visible. A walking skeleton, clad in shadows, would be quite a fine way to describe Zalith Duergo, capturing not only the essence of his shape but also the macabre truth of his inner mind.
The little features, characteristics that further identify a being, are no less twisted in Zalith than his general body. His head is somewhat less scarred by flame than elsewhere, the milky white tone of his skin clear in patches amongst the dark, and thus he still has hair; long and a dead grey, flowing out behind the arrancar like a trail of wispy smoke. He has only one eye; the lost orb carries a tale all of its own, lost for more sane, almost reasonable purposes. Thanks to that, the empty hole is filled by a smooth, spherical ruby, carrying a crimson shade identical to the pupil of his remaining baleful eye. The remains of Zalith’s hollow mask is nothing but the ceramic teeth, gathered around his mouth to leave twin grinning, hungering sets of teeth in addition to those hiding behind within his mouth.
The hands of Zalith Duergo are also a curiosity, since only one of them remains organic. His left hand is that fleshy appendage, with long, ever dancing fingers, and knuckles that look more like spikes, so misshapen is the bone that makes them. Through the centre of his hand is Zalith’s hollow hole, making it a curious sight indeed, seemingly fragile and yet…not. The right, however, was severed long ago to be replaced by something infinitely more useful to an individual of such morbid curiosity and sickening desires as Zalith. His right hand is entirely mechanical, a creation of science, a most interesting device in that it takes the form of a functional hand, crafted from metal with blade ended fingers suited to cutting into others, to slicing open their flesh, dissecting their bodies…delicate operations that require meticulous, godly finesse that only Zalith Duergo can provide in abundance.
His clothes…ah, carefully selected garments indeed. Zalith does not quite wear the standard uniform of the arrancar, no. The fundamentals are there, of course, the white and black, although those are quite stained by generous lashings of blood, which is almost surprisingly easy to obtain in the Hueco Mundo. Over the top of that uniform, Zalith wears another, loosely fitting white coat, in quite the pristine state compared to the uniform, that looks quite similar to what human doctors might wear, if somewhat larger than normal. Thus his appearance is completed; a demon swathed in white, stalking the halls of Las Noches as the resident expert surgeon, dedicated to saving lives…however they might be saved.
History: (Tell Us about you characters Past, this is another crucial part of the profile.)
~Techniques~
Zalith knows well the usual arrancar techniques of bala, cero, sonido, garganta and pesquisa. However, thanks to his experiments and the damages done to his body, Zalith no longer possesses hierro.
Aside from these, Zalith has less ‘abilities’ than modifications to his body – those of course being the ruby within his eye socket and his mechanical hand. The hand is a masterpiece, of course, the general shape and structure matching that of his left hand with remarkable accuracy, missing only the hollow hole through the centre. The colour is that of polished steel, lustrous and clean, matching well with his coat yet contrasting magnificently with the blackened skin of his body. The whole construct is seemingly plated in that polished steel, absent only at the joints to reveal hundreds of interwoven threads of grey metal linking together sections of the hand. Where the knuckles should be, the metal forms cruel spikes, part of the weapons displayed by the hand in combat.
All that pales into insignificance when compared with the fingers, as long as those on the left hand, but only half present as digits, the upper halves replaced by scalpel like blades of varying lengths, a weapon to cut through foes in battle and a surgical device to open bodies. The index finger does not possess one of these blades, instead replacing it with a sharp, gleaming needle. Each mechanical digit is both tipped and laced in death stone, allowing for clean and smooth operations with the finest cuts. Such a hand grants power in battle; although not quite as durable as a Zanpakuto, the hand is fortified with death stone and due to this, it is thus tougher than most hierro, giving Zalith a secondary weapon that can block certain attacks from the enemy and surprise them by slicing through their body. Naturally, Zalith plans ahead; there are dozens of replacement hands created in the event that one is damaged in battle.
The ruby is another, more subtle and sinister device. Crafted as it is from spiritual crystal, the ruby is designed to conduct reiatsu and focus it in ways Zalith could never do without such aid. It can not, alas, be used in combination with cero, but can be used to affect bala instead. By charging a bala within the ruby and releasing it, Zalith unleashes a red blast of energy that travels at the same speed as a bala, with the same amount of energy…but far more intense, the reiatsu that usually takes the shape of a small ball compressed down into a beam as thick as the ruby eye itself. A regular bala is a fast, dangerous attack that strikes the body of the enemy to cause damage, which typically isn’t very much; Zalith’s intense bala acts more like the Hadou Byakurai, piercing through objects instead. Usually, this is sufficiently strong to put a hole in a Numeros level arrancar, or most shinigami.
~Resurrecion~
Resurrecion Release Phrase: Truco, Regalo! (Trick, Gift!)
Hollow Appearance: When Zalith announces the incantation of his release, his Zanpakuto immediately evaporates into a red cloud that envelops the arrancar totally, seeping into his skin. As the cloud fades, the black skin apparently melts, changing into what seems like viscous blood, flowing to take the shape of Zalith’s hollow form. Opportunists beware; scarlet gas is released as Zalith transforms, and a fool caught in such a mist will find themselves on the ill side of health. There is no particularly major change for the arrancar – like almost all his kind, his body is now coated in thin white armour, which holds almost no purpose other than being near purely cosmetic, the sole bonus being that it makes his hierro as strong as it would have been, unreleased, without his experiments affecting it.
His hollow mask has virtually returned to its original form, covering Zalith’s entire face with the visage of leering skull. Overall, he retains the same general shape, with a few additions. His fingers on his left hand are left entirely unchanged, apart from being coated over in the thin white armour of the release; the blades of his metal right hand have become scythe like claws, their upper halves coloured the silver of steel and shimmering with grey reiatsu. Zalith has also grown a prehensile tail, tipped with a long, thin spike apparently made of crystal…which, if the observer looked closely, happens to be hollow.
Release Abilities: The claws act as Zalith’s primary means of both attack and defence. Sheathed as they are in reiatsu, they can act much like Zanpakuto’s, with the ability to block other blades and cut down the enemy. Of course, if this was Zalith’s only ability then his hollow form would be a weak one indeed.
The true power of the monster known as Zalith Duergo resides within the crystal spike on his tail. Or at least, that is what Zalith wants the enemy to think. The crystal is designed to attract the attention of cleverer foes by being sharp enough to pierce the body, and hollow, suggesting a technique. In reality, it is just another weapon, like the claws on his right hand. However, made from crystal as it is, it has the same skill as the ruby replacing one of Zalith’s eyes; the ability to fire intense bala. The real abilities of this arrancar cannot be seen by the eye, only experienced.
Malfuego (Ill-Fire): A major offensive skill of Zalith, and an utterly devastating power under the correct circumstances. Malfuego manifests as a bright, emerald green flame unleashed from the right hand of Zalith Duergo, usually in the form of a stream, but potentially as a small, roaring ball of fire. On contact, such a flame will ignite the foe, feasting for a moment on the reiatsu subconsciously released by the target before dying, often leaving minor burns. Curiously, the lethality of this technique is directly proportional to the strength of the enemy; a weak foe could be washed in Malfuego and emerge unscathed, but a stronger target would be burned.
However, this ability fuels itself on reiatsu; after receiving the initiation reiatsu from Zalith, it will quickly burn out unless it can consume more reiatsu than it uses to sustain itself. If an equilibrium can be set up, then the flame will not cease, and if there is a greater concentration of reiatsu present than the flame uses, Malfuego will increase steadily in power. This means, on a simple level, Malfuego can effectively absorb spiritual attacks and increase its strength. However, if an opponent summons reiatsu to try and overpower Malfuego, then rather than the flame diminishing, it will instead become fiercer than before. The mechanics of the ability are simple, causing it to vary between devastating and useless. There is one catch to Malfuego – it draws on the reiatsu surrounding his claws, which is independent of Zalith’s personal reiatsu, and as a result, may only be used once per release.
There is another side to this ability that is instead capable of healing…but in a way that satisfies Zalith Duergo. At his discretion, a physically identical yet fundamentally different Malfuego can be released that uses reiatsu in exactly the same way, yet causes wounds to heal. Due to the difference, Zalith can add his own reiatsu to the fire (usually by placing a hand within). A dose of this Malfuego, charged with reiatsu, can save even the most lacerated individual from death…but fire is fire, and the one being healed is surrounded by flames. Their wounds may be healed…but the sensation is identical to being aflame, and thus, they survive, at a painful cost.
Colapso (Breakdown): An ability that can be used to destroy and to heal, Colapso is similar to Malfuego in being dangerous at times, and useless in others. When Zalith strikes an enemy with his left hand, and his left hand only, he can transfer his reiatsu through into the body of his foe…or patient, as the case may be. This reiatsu, in the form of Colapso, will pass through the flesh of a foe and attack the skeletal structure of the enemy; in the rare chance a foe has armour covering their body, then Colapso will attack the armour first. In most foes, a successful attack on an arm or leg will cause Zalith’s reiatsu to cleanly break the bone, which, needless to say, is likely to cause problems for the one afflicted. In the case of armour, Colapso will shatter the material around the area of contact, allowing subsequent strikes to damage the bone. However, Colapso works in the opposite manner too – a touch to a bone already broken can cause it to be healed, if Zalith desires so.
In essence, rather than an ability that sunders the flesh of an enemy, this focuses more on inflicting internal damage. After all, a body can be a useful thing, and if a foe can be killed or incapacitated neatly without causing too much visible damage, all the better.

~Character Data~
Appearance
Name: Arturo Delacrova Zante
Age: Appears 26
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 1741
Date of Death: 1763
Status Rank: Rebeldes and temporary Privaron
Numero Rank: 6
Zanpaktou: Avidez-When not released, Avidez takes the form of a twin-bladed sword. Each sword is beautifully crafted and is attached to the other at the hilt. The hilt is made of fine leather that is made from the hides of hollow themselves. When in its' twin bladed form, Avidez reaches a total length of 7 feet. So when he splits them each one equals 3 and a half feet. When Arturo separates the two blades from each other a chain of reiatsu automatically connects them at their base. This chain can expand in size, meaning one of the two blades can be thrown at the opponent and pulled back. This blade can be broken and repaired at will, meaning Arturo can dual wield the two weapons without fear of the chain getting in the way.
The blades on each sword extend down towards the hilt a little bit, creating a small hand guard type protrusion that provides minimal cover for Arturo's hands. A similar protrusion is apparent farther up on the hilt and is made of solid metal. These two points mark the beginning of the blades themselves and are further fastened to the hilt by straps of leather that wrap around the blade, providing a sturdier weapon and a counterweight.
The blades themselves are a fine pearl color. When in Hueco Muendo they seem to reflect the moon on the tip of the blade, no matter where Arturo is standing. While it makes the blades seem very beautiful the whole moon thing actually serves no purpose. In addition, the blades resemble that of a raiding scimitar that you would see a pirate or eastern foot soldier using. It curves at the blade, ends at the tip, then curves again to a point. From this point the blade curves again to another point, and then curves one more time till it reached the hilt again. When Arturo splits the single twin-bladed weapon into two individual blades, he often holds then in a reverse grip, with the blades going up his forearm instead of extending out
Orientation: Independent
Personality: Unfeeling-
Arturo has been known to make remarks that are cold-hearted in nature and unfeeling to those around him. The simple fact of the matter is that he doesn't really care about those around him, unless they can really make an impression upon him. His remarks aren't his only unfeeling actions. His simple demeanor and fighting style, along with his manners can be un-feeling. He knows that he is in a position of power and he will exploit it, dubbing himself superior and taking control. He'll also ignore any comments he feels are unnecessary, and kill anyone who feels is a waste of air. His air of arrogance that he carries about him may demand respect, but it also demands fear. Others should know that he will kill without hesitation, and will hesitate when thinking about sparing someone.
Intelligent-
Arturo may be unfeeling, but he is also intelligent. He'll make un-feeling remarks, but never a STUPID remark. This means that he thinks twice before doing something that could possibly endanger him or someone who has actually managed to enter his circle of respect. The same can be said for his approach to situations. He accesses them and thinks of a solution before acting, some call him left brained for it but it doesn't faze him a bit.
Respectful-
Now this section of his personality should be taken in moderation. Let it be understood that this term may not refer to Arturo, but the way he acts towards some others. He himself is usually seen as a mean person, and although he is still a good leader and fighter and may deserve respect, he often doesn't get it. This however, does not affect the fact that he knows that there are other creatures above him on the food chain. For all of those people who have achieved this status, instantly gain Arturo's respect and reverence.
Withdrawn-
Arturo often keeps to himself in his free time, differing to read or train instead of socialize with his colleagues. This has led to a lack of association between him, the espada, or the other arrancar. This means that starting an open conversation with him would be a task to be remembered for centuries to come, a legend as rare as the god key itself.
Self-respecting
Arturo respects himself and his being. He has no qualms over who he is and appreciates the fact that he was so gifted in the art of battle and that he was able to become an arrancar. It's damn near impossible to bring him down and any who try often meet unfortunate fates.
Prophetic
Arturo's personality is one of prophetic nature. This doesn't mean he can tell the future or draw symbolic pictures. It just means that he believes fates are locked in place. He knows he will die one day, he knows everyone else will die someday, and more importantly he knows everything will come to an end….everything. This leads him to act the way he does and often results in a strange imbalance of good and evil.
Tactical
Tactical maneuvers and strategies are a large part in Arturo's overall scheme of life. If someone can't think on their toes or plan ahead into a situation then that person is obviously something short of worthy to be a shinigami, arrancar, Quincy, or even a human. Arturo prides himself in being able to come with a solution to many problems, both with associates and in battle, and this has led him to be very arrogant, if not cocky.
Close Minded
Arturo suffers from a slight in-ability to change his ways. People have tried to talk him out of the things he does and the way he acts, but to no avail. His strategies, combat styles, and personality are almost set in stone. It would take a very difficult opponent to force him to change and even then a change is rare.
Decisive
Once Arturo sets his mind on something or decides something is necessary, he carries through with it till the end. Whether this involves killing someone, saving someone, breaking something, or repairing something it doesn't matter. Never try to change him or deter him from his goals, you'll likely be greeted with nothing but a strong no and a painful laceration.
Spartan
Arturo's interests lie with the simple things in life. He doesn't indulge himself in worldly pleasures, nor does he was his time on worldly activities. The decorations of his private quarters are a fine testament to this proclamation. They are barren in nature, retaining the bare minimum required to be called a "Living Space". The same can be said for his manner of acts. He tends to be serious and almost never gives up, much like the ancient Spartans themselves.
Pessimistic
Arturo looks at the glass half empty. This isn't all bad though, for it lets him see and usually comprehend the downsides of a plan. This fragment of his personality only holds true at certain times. His pessimistic side is only drawn out when he suffers a particularly depressing experience or fight, much like any normal living being. He doesn't like to lose and he makes it obvious when it does.
Fanatical
Arturo is what you can call a "Fanatic". Not only does he respect his superiors, but he becomes fanatically devoted to them. He would die for them, live for them, fight for them, speak for them, and take the blame for them. It's all a matter of destiny to him. He was destined to be weaker than some others and some others were destined to be stronger than him. He sticks to this principle, but who knows....he may decide to change.
~Background~
Mask Remnant: Jaw bone of a beast
Hollow Hole: unknown
Number Area: chest
Height: 6'2
Weight: 200lbs
Hair: Dark gray
Eyes: Brown
Physical Appearance: Average
History: When Arturo finally evolved into his adjucha form he noticed a few changes. His intelligence and personality slowly came back to him and his figure took on a slimmer, smaller, and more humanoid form. He had purple hair that flowed down his back, a huge contrast to his former blonde. He now ran on all fours, more a beast than a human. Large scales covered his body, providing a moderate defense against attack. His body was able to create small, bat like creatures that assisted him in battle. His face was concealed by the same hollow mask he had originally. He loved the fact that he had a decent amount of control again, but now he was fighting for himself. He continued battling other hollow, incapacitating them and continuing to devour them. He would eventually gain a reputation amongst the other adjuchas, leading to some offering themselves to him. Things just came easy to him and he eventually organized a group amongst the adjuchas. Their goal was to evolve to Vasto Lorde's with each others assistance. They would hunt in packs, taking down others and consuming them in a certain order. Arturo was using the other members of his group, but they didn't need to know that. He had experienced many a moment when other members had given their chances of evolution away so he could survive, but it didn't faze him. The action was unnecessary. So once Arturo felt he was close to evolution he called a grand meeting of all the adjuchas in his group. He called them into a room one by one and devoured them, absorbing a massive amount of hollow in a short period of time. Now this was the point when Arturo thought he would once again evolve....but he didn't. He was perplexed beyond belief by this new revelation that maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't evolve again. And maybe, just maybe, he would remain weaker than others for the rest of his life. Of course this thought was erased from his mind when it finally happened...his ascension.
~Techniques~
Reiatsu Manipulación - With his expert reiatsu control coupled with his large pool of reiatsu, he can stop his own balas/ceros in air, and change their direction and/or make them explode at any moment. [When stopping his balas, he can hold them in place for a maximum amount of three post. After that time, they will explode automatically. He can change the cero/balas direction indefinitely, as many times as he wants, but, for only three post they can they stay in the motion before exploding prematurely. The size is relative to all regular balas or ceros, unless he uses more reiatsu to make them larger. This technique he learns from the Vizard Overseer.
Bala - The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Though weaker than a cero blast, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate.
Cero - High-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers.
Hierro - 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 zanpakutou bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger arrancar have proportionally stronger skin.
Sonido - 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 son¨ªdo is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for flash steps.
Garganta - How arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. 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.
Fighting Style:
Close-Range
Since Arturo is a close-range fighter, his fighting style is naturally tuned to fit close range situations. He prefers to force the opponents into close range by using his resurrecions abilities then ripped them to shreds with his claws. This doesn't mean that he isn't open to wearing them out a long distance, but his natural abilities are much more suited to a hand to hand confrontation. He incorporates powerful, short range concussive blasts into his general plans to allow for ultimately efficiency within about 2 feet of an opponent.
Offensive/Defensive
Arturo's natural abilities lead him to take an offensive style of fighting that incorporates defensive mechanisms. He prefers to stay on the attack the whole match, keeping the enemy off their toes and continuously gaining forward momentum. Not only does this tactic keep Arturo in control of the fight's pace, but it also wears down on the opponent's defense's. This doesn't mean that Arturo's love for offensive attacks lessens his defense. It's quite the opposite actually. As many have said "Offense is the greatest defense" and with Arturo this statement holds true. Arturo's offensive attacks often double as a defensive maneuver. This is mainly attributed to Arturo's control of sound....
Savage
Arturo's fighting style is naturally of a more savage nature. He'll pound and pound away at you until you drop and won't rest for a second. This is often to his advantage, but if the opponent is highly intelligent and powerful, they could use it against him. Think of Grimmjow in his release. He would hack away at his opponents with his Pantera, hoping to win. But Arturo is different. He knows how to use the advantages of a close ranged release to its max.
Determination
Arturo's determination to win and succeed in life has allowed him to bypass the norm. When in battle, he can focus on his enemy and not himself, allowing him to ignore the pain or physical fatigue that may lurk on his mind. The pain is still there of course, but a mind of steel allows him to shut it out and replace it with more constructive and beneficial thoughts
Hand to Hand Combat
Due to the nature of Arturo's release, hand to hand combat is a natural affinity that allows him to best many others. His strikes move at blinding speeds and he is able to block and counter almost any zanpaktou with his hands alone. This of course is only possible in his resurrecion, but that's not the point. The point is that he has made it a top priority to hone his hand to hand combat. There's no need to even bear a weapon for this man, making him a deadly combatant on the field of battle with or without a blade.
~Resurrecion~
To release his resurrecion, Arturo must first place his sword into the ground. He says the release phrase then slams his foot on the tip of his blade and instead of going through his foot the sword sinks into the ground. Everything will then immediately go quiet, but after a moment a huge blast of reiatsu will engulf Arturo and send a massive shockwave of sound out in all directions. This shockwave will push enemies back, and if they are weaker than a vice-captain, they'll suffer from temporary deafness and vision distortion (2 turns). When all of the dust caused by the reiatsu clears, Arturo's released state can be seen.
Arturo's appearance changes drastically once he enters his resurrecion. His hair immediately is drained of its blonde sheen, instead being replaced with a dank black. It also grows a considerable length and becomes a straight style that continues on till it reaches the small of his back. Alongside his hair, long tendrils can be seen. These tendrils are highlighted by sleek lines of crimson that run along the sides. His skin suffers the same fate, changing from their unblemished paleness, to a bleak and un-welcoming grey. Strange markings also appear around Arturo's eyes and reach all the way around to his ears. Speaking of his eyes, they too change. The innocent and clear blue that usually resides within his eyes is quickly corrupted and changed to a blood-like crimson.
His clothing is altered beyond belief, completely changing in color to become a midnight black. Some features of his previous apparel influence this form. Some examples of this are as follows; the high collar that Arturo sported in his pre-release form still is evident in his resurrecion. It is now a black color and is spiked in multiple places. It also arches up around Arturo's traps. Another example is evident around his shoulders. Where there used to be large, cushioned build ups of fabric, there is now a sharp bone like structure that reaches out in many directions. Three particular points flare back and serve as conjoining points for fin like structures. Other than that though Arturo's new look is as follows. His chest is covered by black bone like plating that comes together at points around his sternum. There are also some areas of the plating that are covered by small bunches of red muscle fibers (Upper and lower pectorals areas). Two rather un-fascinating orbs are located at either side of Arturo's chest. Each one is mostly a red color, but contains some highlights of white. Another thing that should be pointed out is the fact that this plating is extremely lightweight and takes the form of Arturo's natural muscle frame, allowing for maximum flexibility and a maximum reduction in drag.
His arms and legs are also covered in a similar bone like plating. On his arms, the black plating covers the areas around his triceps, biceps, forearms and hands. The same red fibers that are located on his chest are also found on his appendages, being mainly located around the forceps and lower wrist area. A small sliver of the fiber is also located in the small space between Arturo's bicep and triceps, running down his upper arm until it joins his forceps. Large spikes in the plating protrude from Arturo's arms around the lower regions of his forearm, serving as a breaking point for drag and also as a minor defense. His hands are covered almost completely in black plating and each finger ends in an extremely sharp claw, matching the sharpness of a zanpaktou point.
His legs are decorated much the same as his arms. The first noticeable feature of his armor is his waist. Curved protrusions in his armor are apparent at each waist and continue down behind his body, forming a blazer looking design. His inner thighs are covered in smaller segments of his signature black plating, each one joined with the next by a red muscle fiber. This type of pattern continues down the whole leg until it gets to the shins. The shins are covered in one single plate for obvious defensive reasons. His feet look human in nature but each toe ends in an extremely sharp claw.
Release Abilities:
While in this form, Arturo gains access to a plethora of abilities that incorporate sound and vampirism. His sword from his pre-resurrecion re-appears and doubles. The two swords then split in half, forming four individual blades. These four individual blades then "Shatter" into hundreds of small bats that form into a cloud behind the arrancar. If an opponent uses a long ranged reiatsu based projectile, then the bats swarm in front of Arturo, eating away at the projectile and absorbing almost all of the reiatsu. This is meant to force the opponent into a close ranged fight. The bats can't absorb ALL types of attacks though. They can only completely absorb the reiatsu from attack that have originated from someone below vice captain rank. If a vice-captain or a captain uses a ranged reiatsu attack the following will happen. A vice-captains kido or attack will break through with 25% of its power intact. A captain will be able to break through the bats with 80% of their attack intact.
Arturo's sound abilities are based around a close-ranged concept. Almost all of them incorporate a sonic boom of some kind and internal damage, likely to the nervous system. His speed is drastically enhanced, along with his skin's defense.
He can release strong bursts of reiatsu and sound at point blank range, capable of completely tearing a hole in your body if you don't dodge. This attack is almost passive and is automatically released with every blow. Also, Arturo's claws constantly vibrate back and forth at sonic speeds, making it look like they are blurred, when they are really just moving faster than the eye can read. If an opponent tries to block his claws with the BLUNT side of their blade, then the wearing effect the vibration would have on the sword would make it considerably easy to break through the blade. Also, if someone clashes their blade against his hands then they will make contact, but will be immediately repulsed afterwards.
Now his weakness in this form you ask? Well for starters almost all of his attacks are limited to close range, meaning a close range combatant would have a much better chance against Arturo than a ranged fighter. Furthermore, Powerful ranged fighters that are able to break through Arturo's bats can easily take him on, picking him apart from long range.
Sonido Raja-
Whenever Arturo thrusts his claws forward, and extremely narrow yet immensely powerful blast of reiatsu and sound explodes from his fingertips. The attack is indicated by the small "Bang" sound of a sonic boom and carries enough concussive force to rip a hole through someone's body. This attack can be blocked by a zanpaktou, but only the zanpaktou of an opponent of equal or higher strength. . This attack causes almost no strain on Arturo's reiatsu reserve and is almost passive in nature. So LET IT BE KNOWN that almost every strike Arturo makes in his resurrecion will be accompanied by one of these blasts. These blasts appear to be a brief flash of white energy.
Devorar-
Whenever an enemy below vice captain stature fires a ranged reiatsu based attack, the swarm of bats that form behind Arturo automatically attack the projectile, quickly ingesting and storing the energy. The bats then reform into their cloud behind Arturo. If Arturo begins to run low on energy or is severely injured, he can destroy the Bats and all of the reiatsu they stored immediately returns to him. Someone who is a third seat or below will be able to destroy the bats, but not with enough power left in the technique to do damage. Anyone of vice-captain rank will be able to break their kido through the bats with about 25% of the kido's power intact. Also, all kido above 90 will fully break through, but only when being wielded by a vice-captain or captain. A captain can break through the bats with ease, leaving 80% of their attack intact. Finally, these bats reform two minutes after they are destroyed. A maximum of 2 projectiles can be absorbed at once.
Oprimar-
With this technique, Arturo compresses and compounds all of his bats into two large wings. These wings then attach themselves to his back, melding with his body on his shoulder blades. These wings are, essentially, all of the reiatsu from the bats condensed so tightly that they take a solid form. While in this form, Arturo's speed is drastically increased. He can block the zanpaktou of anyone who is 3rd seat or below when they are putting reiatsu into their blade. He can fly at speeds just below the speed of sound, meaning he's extremely fast but you can still perceive his movements. These wings can no longer absorb kido, but are razor sharp at the edges and operate just like his claws (Vibration wise). This means they basically make him vulnerable at long range, but extremely potent at close range.

Numero Rank: None
Zanpaktou: Arena del Hueso - Arena means Sand, Hueso is bone, and is believed his blade is supposedly connected to time. The guard of the hilt has a cut-out to look like an hour-glass. Aiur's blade, if looked at closely, seems to be made of grains of sand, moving slowly down the blade. He can use his blade's power to move the bone sand of Hueco Mundo, but does not have total control over all of it, and the blade gives him a maximum of 54 foot radius of control through the sands of Hueco Mundo.
Orientation: Independent, but will try to connect with the Espada and Aizen.
Personality: Aiur has always been a joyful, but at times, a serious person. Through his ages, even with his young looks, he has grown very mature, but often doesn't show so. He sees the Living World as just the beginning to the bigger picture, Soul Society as something bigger, and Hueco Mundo as the place trying to figure it all out. He's philosophical a lot of times, and seems to annoy Hollows with his abilities in geometry, human biology/physiology, and history from present to pre-egyptian times.
Aiur also seems to hate Arrancar that kill others needlessly, if not to feed upon them to survive. He does feed upon high spiritual pressured Hollows to gain power, but does not agree to continuously do so, in a power hungry manner. He has slain Arrancar for these bloodthirsty deeds, and has many Adjucha as acquittances, as well as some lower level arrancar he has saved. Even if he is seen as a friend, and hero to some Hollows and arrancar, he does not care for anyone, but follows his own beliefs. He also becomes more powerful by helping these lower levels, since he can eat his opponents.
~Background~
Mask Remnant: Parts of his original jaw still remain near the back. (Can kind of see in normal picture. In top right corner)
Hollow Hole: Middle of Chest
Number Area: None
Height: 6 foot exactly
Weight: 122 lbs
Hair: A mix of blonde and tan colors.
Eyes: If seen, they are a tanish color.
Physical Appearance: He is well-maintained.
History: He lived in what is now Europe. His family was part of the head of a brave, and very large, barbaric tribe. At five years old, he received his tribal marks, and those are what gives the imitation of a 3rd Rank Espada's tattoo, which are located on his back and chest.. The tattoos are filled in every year, so that the markings stay permanent. He doesn't know much about how he died, but he remembered a bronze blade coming at him as his father screamed his name.
Once he became a hollow, he didn't know much of what to do. He followed some, and soon began to understand what you must do to survive. He devoured those he called, 'friends'. Those he said were his 'acquittance', seemed to not be eaten. He soon found the way of once again receiving his old body, even with the downfall of still keeping a mask fragment. He then decided he would tear away his own mask, and become an Arrancar. Once he did become an Arrancar, he didn't know what to do, and didn't bother with Aizen and his 'Arrancar Army'. He kept to himself, and ate those that looked tasty to him, even attacking Adjucha's to feed upon.
Aiur now just roams the desert, keeping a shawl to cover his mouth from the bone-grind desert. Disappearing for a week at times to just show up miles from where he was.
~Techniques~
Garganta - Black Cavity or Throat
The way arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. 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.
Bala - Hollow Bullet or Bullet
an arrancar alternative to the cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Though weaker than a cero blast, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate.
Cero - Hollow Flash
High-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only Gillians, Adjuchas, Arrancar, and the Vizards have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently. Various Arrancar and Hollow characters display variants of the technique, such as the Espada-exclusive Gran Rey Cero. Aiur's Cero looks like a blast of sand.
Sonido - Resounding Movements
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. When used, his Sonido leaves behind dust.
Hierro - Steel Skin
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.
Pesquisa - Inquiry / Probe Circuit
Is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions very-similarly to sonar.
Mano - Hand
This is the ability that Arrancar's use to deflect, stop or even pierce the enemy with their bare hands. When this technique is used with conjunction Hierro it power strengthens in terms of defense.
Caída del Hoyo - Pit Fall
A technique he developed using his zanpaktou, where hollows believe they are walking on still ground, when the sand beneath their feet rapidly deteriorates and they fall in a black pit of sand. He has used this many times for hunting for his food.
Pulpo de la Arena del Hueso - Bone Sand Octopus
This is a technique developed, and almost fully trained, but not quite yet, where he can control eight arms made from the bone sand of Hueco Mundo.
Arenas del Tiempo - Sands Of Time
He creates a doorway of sand, and then uses the blade as a key to open it. Once inside this doorway, all laws of times cease, and he may spend a maximum of what is a week in there, but only 7-hundredths of a second in the Hueco Mundo time. While inside of the Sands of Time's gates, Aiur practices his arts on the vast, ever-changing wasteland set inside. Monuments and structures of the past, and of civilizations and cities now crumbled or forgotten. Also, within these great gates, are the books left behind by these fallen civilizations. He has had a pleasure of looking them over, and through years of researching, can understand many things people have no thought of in the ancient world any longer. ~Resurreción~ Resurrección Phrase: Ruja, Como el Viento Sobre las Dunas - Roar, As the Wind Over the Dunes.
In Aiur's Resurrección, his blade turns to dust and then the dust begins to multiply itself, making a barrier around him. He then has his hollow bone armor grow over him, and his mask reforms. His hair lengthens and claws grow.
Even in his Resurrección, he doesn't use his barrier very much. Instead, he seems to try and be up close to the person, clawing or punching at them continuously, protecting himself when needed. His speed makes him a hard target to follow, and his strength makes his all the more of a match. Aiur was built to be a killer; swift, strong, intelligent, flexible, and quick in his reflexes.

~Character Data~
Appearance
Name: Tuimiste Hiroki
Age: 245 (Looks 22)
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: April 14, 1764
Date of Death: June 18, 1786
Status Rank: Arrancar
Numero Rank: (The number signifying your power and status in the Arrancar Army. Given Upon Approval. Note~ Only Orichisama can approve your rank)
Zanpaktou: Frío Incendio (Cold Fire)
Orientation: Independent, but depending on the war's outcome, he may join the winning side.
Personality: He's a somewhat reclusive soul, not wanting to fight unless he was provoke, simply content to be left alone. His main love in life is accumulating knowledge, mostly through reading, so he is a genius in many aspects, from tactics to mythology to history and more.
~Background~
Mask Remnant: A flame shaped eyepiece over one eye ringed by a snowflake, like a weird monocle
Hollow Hole: On his left shoulder
Number Area: N/A
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 150 lbs
Hair: Wheat Gold hair
Eyes: Emerald Green eyes
Physical Appearance: Skinny, doesn't look like a person wiith alot of strength, though it is a mistake to underestimate him.
History: In the distant past, Tuimiste was reknowned as a genius, one that could solve nearly every problem brought up against him. However, this made him arrogant thinking nobody was more intelligent than he was. This left him with no friends, and his arrogance eventually led to his death while he was at college, he was shot on campus and died instantly.
When he became a hollow, he immediately went on a killing spree, massacring the college before he was driven away by shinigami. Retreating to Huceo Mundo, he devoured hollow after hollow, evolving to the stage of a strong Adjuchas class hollow. His evolution then slowed and finally stopped causing him to seek out the Hollow kings temple and removing the accrused mask. Yet he would not join the King's ranks, but set out on his own. He is now searching for knowledge, seeking to accumulate as much as he can trhough the sporadic libraries scattered within Huceo Mundo.
However with war looming on the horizon, he sets out to watch, gathering knowledge on the factions strength before he makes any kind of alliances. He might become a key player in either Ganga's or Aizen's schemes.
~Techniques~
Bala (Bluish white)
Cero (White)
Hierro
Sonido
Garganta
~Resurrecion~
Tuimiste's Resurrecion form is released after he says, "Let my enemy know my frosty conflargations." After he yells that he is instantly engulfed in whitish blue flames that envolope him in a cocoon. As the flames dissipate, the true form of Tuimiste is plan to see.
It is obvious that he was a phoenix like Hollow, for he has a hawklike mask, talons on his hands and feet, and wings with blue feathers all over his body. The main difference however is that his wings are engulfed in whitish blue flames along with his entire body and the flame shaped eyepiece eye ringed by a snowflake now duplicates itself and goes to the other eye, giving him a very weird pair of glasses. In this form he has control over the forces of fire and ice and even can combine them into a new element, coldfire. These whitish blue flames don't burn, but freeze however they can spread like normal fire. He molds this element into attacks such as fireballs, flame wall, meteors, and any sort of shape and form he can think of.

~Character Data~ ~Character Data~ Appearance Name: Damian Age: N/A Sex: Male Date of Birth: N/A Date of Death: N/A Status Rank: Fraccion (Azrael) Numero Rank:(--) Zanpaktou: Muerte Segador (Death Reaper) Appears as twin metal gauntlets as Sealed Orientation: Aizen Personality:~Background~ Mask Remnant: Mask is located on his face, stretching from his nose to his forehead. Hollow Hole: Middle of his chest...where is heart would be. Number Area:Side of Right Shoulder. Height: 6'3'' Weight:210lbs Hair: See pic Eyes:Red...blood red Physical Appearance:See pic (Wings optional, they come and go) History: Not much is known of Damian's origins, he just appeared out of no where. He has, of yet, really done nothing to gain the notice of the Shinigami, maybe killing a soul here or there, but has generally kept in the shadows. He has been attacked by newbies before, all dead within minutes, however. He, somehow and despite his character of brushing everyone off, joined Aizen's side of the war, and became a sabordinate of one of his Espada, Azrael. He still holds much of what he once was, though, a trait not owned by many. ~Techniques~ - Cero (Atk) (虚閃, lit. "hollow flash"; the pronunciation is Spanish for "zero") are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from either the mouth or hand. Only menos, arrancar, and vizard have so far been shown to use cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entites can use it more efficiently. - Bala (Atk) (虚弾, lit. "hollow bullet;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "bullet") is a weaker but quicker alternative to regular cero blasts. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it at around twenty times the speed of a cero. Can only be learned and used after leaning and mastering Cero. - Hierro (鋼皮, lit. "steel skin;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "iron") refers to the ultra tough 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. 60% and below would have no chance of breaking through however, 70% -110% would allow the arrancar to still defend a few turns bare skinned, and anything beyond 110% would cause medium to high damage depending on the attack. - Negación (反膜, lit. "counter membrane;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "negation") fields are used to rescue fellow hollows. Only the gillian-class menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the menos that created the field. - Pesquisa (探査回路, lit. "inquiry circuit;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "inquiry") is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami ability to sense spiritual pressure. It functions similar to sonar detecting those even invisible to the naked eye and annoying reiatsu hiding techniques. - Sonido (響転, lit. "resounding revolution;" the pronunciation is Spanish for "sound") is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami flash steps; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of sonido is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for flash steps. -Resurreccion- Most arrancar have the ability to seal their power within a Zanpakutō. Upon releasing their Zanpakutō they gain all of their former unique hollow abilities back, similar to resurrecting their old selves. When using the ability, it is a combination of their human form and their hollow form, increasing their power roughly thirtyfold. Custom Abilities ~Leech Thread~ Damian can pierce the skin of his enemies with his claws. On contact, a spirit energy thread, invisible to all but those extremely aware of such things, connects to the enemy, allowing Damian to literally leech the enemy's spirit energy. The effect lasts until either combatant leaves, or the thread is cut. ~Darkness Transport~ Damian is able to go from Point A to point B in the form of a dark ball of spirit energy, about three times the size of an adult male's hand. The ball move's extremely quick and cannot really be hit, but Damian cannot do any real physical action while in this form. This form can also meld from one realm to another realm, excluding Soul Society. It's basically his version of Garganta. ~Shadow's Call~ Damian's wings spew a thick black mist, which harshly impare the enemy's(s') sight. The mist itself will stay until blown away, but this move requires little effort to do. ~Big Bang~ Damian gathers his spirit energy for a time, then slams it into the ground, causing a Nova Blast, with the size dependent on the time allowed to gather. If enough energy is released, anyone his level in power or stature could quite possibly die instantly, but this would require a massive about of prep time. ~Resurrecion~ "Let Light shine not here, for this place will be a place of Darkness. Let all who are witness gaze upon Death and Destruction! Let their memories torture their lives forever!" X For AppearanceX for Weapon

Pending:
Veer Dae Lovingrad- I don't get the purpose of the sands of time technique. He just stays there for no apparent reason?

Is my character approved, now?
I added more to the Sands of Time technique, to describe further its purposes to me.
