Age: 1139
Appears to be: Early Thirties, scars make him look so old.
Number: King, Broski
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 203lbs
Appearance: Standing at over six feet, Mac seems sort of distinguished in his height, tall for the japanese man. He wears a small change of the normal arrancarian outfit, with a small black, midriff top. This is held in place with leather straps on his sides. Underneath the black cloth, he wears a smaller white top. He wears cloth gloves, that are held in place with leather straps running up his arms. Instead of the normal hakama, he wears loose cloth pants, with more leather straps on his calves and shins. Over his waist, he wears a coat that would connect to the top, which is instead held in place with a loose belt. He wears odd boots, as well.
Mac also has scars covering most of his upper body, which culminates in a large scar over his heart. His face suffered as well, with multiple jagged cuts along his cheeks and forehead. On the back of his neck and his shoulders, he's got small black burn marks, also from his scar wound.
Personality: Machizo is a self sacrificing loyal combatant with an attitude which thrives in conflicts which he tends to instigate from the get go. His confident "I Dare You" personality can be quite easy to overcome if approached in kind, knowing his challenging nature. However, back down or shy away and Machizo will forever place you below him. Overcome him or surpass his expectations and he will actually respect and look up to you. But if you ignore, insult, or impose on him, he will never forgive you. It is difficult for one to change the way Machizo looks at them after this first impression has been established.
Machizo lives his life based on respect. Trust begets respect in his minds eye. Therefore, you must rust someone in order to respect them. None of that crap about power respect. For Machizo, if he respects you, he completely trusts you.
Something little known about Machizo is his striking intelligence. He is smart enough to hide behind the demeanor he exhibits, but that is just a face. The cunning, wise, and intelligent mastermind incarnate, Machizo normally has those aspects of himself hidden from almost everyone.
Personal Skill: Machizo's greatest skill is in the use of melee weaponry. He is at his most powerful with his blade drawn.
Favorite Food: Pickled cabbage.
Favorite Drink: Sangria, an italian wine.

Spiritual Energy:
Machizo, as a leader, has a huge amount of reiatsu, deemed immense by the type of people who watch that sort of thing. This is shown by his ability with the cero and bala. Machizo's reistsu is shown to be incredibly dense, as well as incredibly large, when the full potential is shown.
His spiritual energy in his released forms is undocumented, for the danger it provides to the form itself. It is said by Machizo that the power itself could unravel Machizo's very spirit.
Zanjutsu // Chain Jutsu:
Machizo is considered a near-absolute master of the blade. He uses what is known as " The Barbarian Style " which involves wild movements, coupled with devastating attack principle. It requires huge amounts of strength and speed in order to use, which Machizo has trained from day one. The Barbarian Sword Style is noted for it's truly brutal techniques, as well as the incredible strength needed to use both the blades, as well as many of the techniques themselves. The style is mainlined by incredibly powerful strikes that wear down immensely on the opponent's guard, which in turn makes it hard to strike back. The user of the style will actually perform techniques in such a way as to leave their own defenses seemingly open, and giving opponent's chances in which to strike back. Quickly brought up guards, as well as counter attacks, are expected from this facet of the sword style.
Overall, the style requires huge amounts of strength and endurance, as well as speed to back things up.
Machizo, with a dual type zanpakuto, alsu uses a chain in his combat. While it is nowhere used as much as the blade itself, MAchizo's use with the chain is nothing to be scoffed at. In combat, he will sprinkle small amounts of chain use, to help bring sword strikes down. This normally involves using the barbed end of the chain as a distraction, and use the blade as the real form of attack. When this is unavailable to happen, Machizo can use the barbed end itself, or even the chain in it's entirety, as a weapon, and do combat with a sword user.
Sonido:
Machizo has shown an incredibly fast Sonido. His skill with the technique can be shown by creating clones, in which Machizo's moves so quickly from point to point that a clone is created. Machizo has also shown the ability to speed up his physical strikes, instead of simple speed-based dodging or the like. When he performs this technique, Machizo's body could move so fast as to create large amounts of friction, burning his skin and clothing in a firey blast.
Machizo also posses a large amount of natural speed. For instance, his normal fast movement could be compared to a low-leveled sonido. This natural speed can blur his movement to the point of becoming indiscernible when viewed.
Unarmed Combat:
Machizo is considered a master of unarmed combat. He has the ability to go toe-to-toe with bankai released individuals, blocking bankai-grade strikes and attacks with his bare hands.
His exact combat style is ambiguous and mysterious, just like his sword and chain style. Unlike a named style, like the armed combat possesses, Machizo's unarmed combat lacks a name. It is classified by very powerful strikes and speedy blocks. The illusion of a lack of defense is used to strike when the chance is given.

Motto: " There ain't no way around a good fight. "
Battle Strength:
• Machizo's greatest strength would be in his melee prowess, and his ability to purely overwhelm an opponent within the space of short battle. Most opponents are left tired and destroyed entirely.
Battle Weakness:
• Machizo's weakness would have to be his lack of ranged fighting skill. His normal cero is one of the only ranged techniques he has.
Zanpakutou :: Odio
Sealed
Appearance: Odio takes a dual appearance. There are, in fact, two weapons. At any time, he can use one of the two weapons, or both at once.
First Form: Sword of Hatred: X The sealed appearance is very akin to a an english longsword. Oddly enough, his sealed also has four knives that join it. Mac will use the knives before he uses the sword, in most cases.
Second Form: Chain of Betrayal: The sealed weapon takes the form of a seal he keeps on his left forearm. From this seal, Mac can create a black chain. The chain is pitch black with little discoloration even at the joints. At the very point the chain has a prong that can stab into flesh and hook a target. The chain has no end as it is connected to a seal on his left arm. He takes the weapon out by seeping the chain into his skin and the seal. He can then reach into it like another dimension and pull out the chain, once he has it out he wraps it around his arm for times and it is ready to go. Although it has no end, he can only use it with the best outcome within 30 meters, any further and the precision will not even be present.
By seeping Spiritual Energy into the chain, Jaergee can have a small degree of control over the chain itself.
Fraccion and Higher
Resurrección
Appearance: X Upon calling the release phrase, Machizo is engulfed in black flames. His skin and clothes are burned away, while his muscles and bones rapidly expand. Within a minute, Machizo stands at over ten feet tall/546lbs, and appears to be a mass of black muscle with bone struts on his shoulders.
At this point, Machizo is is completely black, and stands at twelve feet tall. HE also grows a mane of jet black hair. From his now showing muscle structure, a veil of black reiatsu is forced, before circling back into his body, somewhat obscuring his features.
Machizo will then extend his hand, and a huge blade will appear. It appears to be a slab of white steel, much unlike his old blade. It has sharp, nicked edges that can easily bisect an opponent with a simple swing. His other hand opens, and multiple chains extend from his palm. He grabs them, before swinging them around his wrist.
Abilities:
Machizo's main power in this form is pure melee onslaught. His large size domineers over others, and his already massive strength is further increased to the point of allowing him to do almost impossible feats. He can attack for hours on end, as well as allowing the use of his powerful chains.
However, Machizo is limited when it comes to reiatsu. He can only perform a few Cero per transformation, before being left weakened. Most of his reiatsu is pushed towards his overdrive technique, making it difficult to go beyond.
Attacks:
------- [ x ] Technique Name: Sable [ Saber ]
------- [ x ] Technique Range: 35 meters, or immediate range.
------- [ x ] Technique Type: Offensive
------- [ x ] Technique Description: By channeling spiritual energy into his blade, Machizo can unleash a crescent blade of energy in a raw and unstable form.

------- [ x ] Technique Name: Overdrive
------- [ x ] Technique Range: N/A
------- [ x ] Technique Type: Defensive/Supplementary
------- [ x ] Technique Description: Machizo can access every bit of his latent spiritual energy, and gives it off in a palpable veil of said energy. The spiritual energy cushions incoming blows, and in most cases, also helps to redirect the energy away from Machizo's body. The energy constantly goes in and out of Machizo, in a circular pattern; Exiting his frame, only to circle back around, and join back within his body. This also makes it hard to harness energy from his body, as the circular pattern keeps a constant current.
Machizo can also move this technique to harness the power more directly in specific parts of his body. It takes time to do so, but in most cases, Machizo can wave off high-leveled techniques.
------- [ x ] Technique Name: Fijacion [ Fortification ]
------- [ x ] Technique Range: Immediate area
------- [ x ] Technique Type: Defensive
------- [ x ] Technique Description: Through large applications of his reiatsu, Machiso can form a small sheild of white reiatsu. This energy can be used to block powerful melee attacks, as well as strong energy based attacks.
Resurrección: Segunda Etapa (Espada 1 - 4)
Appearance: Machizo's appearance doesn't change drastically, aside from the obvious.
As Machizo activates the power required to use this form, his muscles tighten considerably, to the point of making cracking and popping noises. They would tear suddenly, before black fire issues from between the crevices and tracts created by the hard and torn muscle. MAchizo grows larger in this phase, to stand at well over fifteen feet tall/ 897lbs. His muscles and bones expand as they absorb the massive amounts of reiatsu he is issuing from his body.
At this time, Machizo also grows large shoulder spikes, made purely of black bone. They expand far past his head, giving him an odd wreath.
In this form, Machizo's blade dissapears.
Abilities:
MAchizo's main ability here, yet again, is in pure melee onslaught. His overdrive technique is powered up further, to the point of being a tank. Almost no reiatsu based attacks are available to him for this reason. It takes the strongest of attacks to even make Machizo flinch in this form, let alone cut through the massive power he owns. His reiatsu is no longer palpable in the air, as it's entire being is forced deep into Machizo's body to keep the form moving. This makes it impossible to harness reishi from his body, as opponents tend to do.
Machizo does not have his sword in this form, leaving him with only the chain. However, in this form, machizo can make an infinite amount of these chains, bringing them into existence from every nook and cranny his body has. He also has the ability to summon to specific chains, with large, black prongs. These prongs are the size of swords in a normal human's hands, giving him decently sized and fatally curved daggers. They are sharp and pointed, easily capable of bisecting an opponent.
Attacks:
------- [ x ] Technique Name: Overdrive V.2
------- [ x ] Technique Range: Immediate area
------- [ x ] Technique Type: Defense/Supplementary
------- [ x ] Technique Description:Machizo can access every bit of his latent spiritual energy, and gives it off in a palpable veil of said energy.

Machizo can also move this technique to harness the power more directly in specific parts of his body. It takes time to do so, but in most cases, Machizo can wave off high-leveled techniques.
The Segunda Etapa form of this technique makes Machizo a veritable tank, with the only attacks being able to harm him being the most powerful.
------- [ x ] Technique Name: Doble Sable
------- [ x ] Technique Range: X
------- [ x ] Technique Type: Offensive
------- [ x ] Technique Description: By channeling spiritual energy into his dual prongs, Machizo can unleash two crescent blades of energy in a raw and unstable form. This technique will explode upon contact, rather than actually cutting. Machizo can change this to a cutting technique instead to alter his sword swings.
------- [ x ] Technique Name: Black Sun
------- [ x ] Technique Range: 200 feet
------- [ x ] Technique Type: Offensive
------- [ x ] Technique Description: Machizo will begin this technique by springing into the air, and extending his arms and legs out as far from his body as possible. Reiatsu is channeled to every inch of his body, before black and purple glyphs spring from his flesh. There are hundreds of these glyphs, and from each, multiple pronged chains erupt, lashing along and about the area around him. the chains writhe and twirl as they erupt, making and near unblockable melee attack. Each pronged end can spear an individual enemy, creating a genocide-type move in the end. Each individual chain is near-indestructable.
This attack has a secondary ability. Machizo can choose to keep the chains out for an extended amount of time, creating a massive ball of writing chain. Each chain can be controled individually, or in groups, to act in a tentacle type manner, creating yet another hurdle for enemies to hurl over.
