Name: Tay'Von Guilerria
Appearance: He has a fairly muscular build, though he's rather lean as well. He just doesn't have much girth to the muscle. Tay'Von has shoulder-length black dreadlocks and noticeably bright golden eyes, the latter of which stands out from his typical jamaican appearance. His face is generally soft and a pleasant sight, and rarely does he show negative emotion beyond a listless stare.
His Espada uniform is blandly similar to the others of the same kind except for cuts in the sleeves at the shoulders and elbows, the former at the uppermost corner of the shoulder and the latter on the inside close to the body. These seem to have no real importance. Along with this, the sleeves are fairly shorter, going up to the middle of his forearm.
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 187 lbs.
Personality: Tay'Von is eccentric, simply put. He's usually weary unless something interests him, where he's so restless he can't even stay still. He sees little point in fighting and, just as such, rarely goes all out. Most of the time, Tay'Von hides his philosophical depression and world-weariness with a facade of cheerfulness and a joking nature. Also, he has a strange time dealing with being ordered around, as he is a rebellious type yet pretends to be zealous to his lord's cause, but, because of his laziness and the comfort provided to him by said lord, he finds little reason to rebel. He's plainly disrespectful to those he refers to as 'downers' and 'punks', and will be so to anyone despite rank or level or power. This is a bit contradictory since his true emotions would classify him as a 'downer' but he really doesn't care.
Arrancar Abilities: Cero, Bala, Sonido, Gran Rey Cero, Hierro, Pesquisa, Garganta, and Resurrección.
Zanpakuto Name: Verdugo (Executioner)
Zanpakuto Appearance: VerdugoResurrection: Tay'Von's blade disappears for now. The flat bottom area of the mask on his forehead spikes three times, two over his eyes yet leaving upside down triangular holes to let through his golden sight, and the last covering his nose. Three dreads become incredibly long in the back, hanging down to his lower back and having further length from the bone caps extending on those particular few. The rest of his dreads remain untouched by transformation, but a plate of bone appears on the crown of his head, spiked at the ends but mainly for show. This plate connects to the forehead part of the mask, where the horns have lowered in angle considerably, now almost 0 degrees, but, without much length in the first place, they remain fairly useless as weapons. The sleeves on his uniform disappear entirely, and his skin has turned slightly darker and contrasts more with the white. He also gains a more muscular appearance, but this doesn't make him any slower.
-Command: Caída... (Fall...)
-Abilities:Blur: Extreme speed is the main, passive ability of Verdugo. In reality, Tay'Von doesn't have a whole lot of strength, but makes up for that with momentum. His body becomes his main weapon, and he uses fists, knees, feet, and even the new plate on his head to beat the enemy into submission. A lot of his attacks are based on ramming speed, where headbutts, knees, and the shoulders are used to crash into the opponent. At certain points, his attacks can even harm himself if the force is great enough. At the peak of his speed, which is hard to pull off in most areas, he can leave behind a slight trail of after-images, or a blur.
Subdue: (1-3 Post Charge-Up, 2 Post Paralyze) If he's looking to finish the job, this ability is used. Depending on the chaos of the situation and if an enemy is attacking him, the amount of time it takes to charge up the ability varies. A golden energy focuses at the tip of his index and middle finger, and he is to jab the enemy to exert it. If the hit is successful, they would be rendered unable to move so that Tay'Von can execute them, in any manner of ways that would involve a quick, relatively painless death such as snapping the neck. Due to his strong moral code, he doesn't plainly attack an enemy that is unable to move except when executing, so they are completely safe and, as he likes to think, able to look upon their lives with regret or satisfaction. If something gets in the way of his execution, they would simply regain their body's response and can get back to fighting.
Resurrection Segunda Etapa: A set of bone appears around his jaw as well as a second pair of horns, angled as the originals, on the forehead piece. Triangular shapes spike up and lock together with the ones created in first stage. This leaves a zig-zag along where the mouth would be and single triangular holes for eyes, giving it something of a skull-like appearance. His hair remains unchanged from first stage except for cylindrical pieces of bone appearing all along each dread, making it look sectioned but with a pattern of black, white, black, white, and so on. The ends of his Espada robe are tattered and diagonal black lines run from his hollow hole, located slightly above the navel, making something of an 'X' on his front and back.
-Abilities:Execute: This ability manifests Tay'Von's Resurrection weapon, a very large, two-handed executioner's axe. The blade is shaped like a guillotine and is only used if the enemy is immobile or if they surrendered. The axe itself has no special powers other than having a grim aura. The only use of it is to behead the enemy.
Green Mile: (3 Post Overdrive, 3 Post Rehabilitate) As a final ability, Tay'Von can send himself into a deathly fury. As he puts it, he truly becomes the 'Executioner' or 'Grim Reaper'. With a higher resistance to pain, even further increased speed, and nullified emotions relating to mercy, he goes all out on the enemy. Along with this, the enemy's sight is rendered colorless beyond blacks and whites, and the air becomes dense and stifling with Tay'Von's spiritual pressure. This often distills panic or hopelessness (as one would be in the situation of walking to their death) into them but some remain calm if their personality is as such. This can be used along with Execute to make the weapon much more useful since his attacks create their own momentum and not much movement is needed to have powerful strikes. Once this power has run out, he is left at a great disadvantage in physical energy and it takes just as long as the ability is active to recover fully.
Mask: A bone plate lays over his forehead, where a horn juts out each upper corner at 45 degree angles, giving him a devilish appearance. Along with this, there are spiked caps of bone at the end of each dread in his hair.
Bio: Tay'Von only recollects his past as far back as what he calls the 'first time his existence held any importance'. This was when he became an Adjucha. As many who've traveled down that path know, its a long road to success as a Vasto Lorde and literally thousands of hollows have to be overcome and devoured. As such, Tay'Von regarded his current lifestyle as barbaric but worthwhile, trying day in and day out to reach that goal. Every day seemed more gray, more lifeless than the last, and soon he and many other hollows of his kind were practically driven to madness from this incessant slaughter. They all gathered in the Forest of Menos to fight to the death, thousands of them murdering and devouring each other in hopes that their kill would be the one that marked their transformation... Into a being that had to keep on eating to maintain itself.
He can't remember much from the ensuing battle, but apparently something had crashed on the fighting group he was among. He had been challenging what seemed to be the strongest hollow in the dozen yard radius, but the battlefield was large in the Forest of Menos. When he awoke from the wreckage, he felt different... More powerful. Figuring that he'd won, he tried to calm the hollows from their rampage in the idea that no other would transform into a Vasto Lorde and that he was their overseeing master. The chances were nearly non-existent, almost literally ten thousand to one, and he was the one, but none listened, and only upon seeing their gaze of unfamiliarity upon him did he realize he hadn't become a Vasto Lorde. He was an Arrancar, a whole different step in the path to a new goal. Though this would mean that he was no longer bound under the laws of hollows, such as eating others to keep their level of power, he didn't enjoy the idea that he wasn't going to become one of the strongest pure hollows. Somewhat depressed by this outcome but still seeing the battle as unimportant, Tay'Von caught the entire horde's attention and provoked them into attack. He knew that by being an Arrancar his limits to development had vanished, and, by using his new-found blade, he prematurely executed all those that were going to die soon anyway to both end their suffering and test his new strengths. He understood the futility of being a hollow and decided for them that living would be too stressful. After the gruesome job had been finished, he wandered into the Hueco Mundo desert, which he thought would be his own execution.
But... Las Noches... The Espada... He found them, and joined their ranks. Though this did little to refill his hopes for life, it was a way for him to cheer up slightly. He had purpose, he had power, he didn't have to eat anymore hollows... Not like it could get any worse, that was for sure. Even more, he was able to test himself against pesky Soul Reapers. His overall view of life hadn't changed, but Tay'Von himself had changed enough that his past actions meant nothing. Hollows were worthless, even if he was once one of them. He had sympathy though and hardly ever killed them, only in the fact that they'd probably be eaten anyway by another hollow with the exact same goal. All the same, he lounged about with a mindset that prevented him from caring too much about the lives of others since he didn't care much about life in general. He just lived through it and ended others that didn't have a point.
