Nick Name Cael-kun (Kay-el kun), The Dark Prince, The Trancendent One, The Omnipresent God
Actual Age: 6816
Age Appearance: Appears approximately 21...give or take a couple years due to his inexplicable "hibernation".
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual | Straight
Zanpakuto: Deus Iratas - Crystalis de Forza
Reiatsu Color: Silvery-blue
Reiatsu Appearance: Caelum's reiatsu is violent and appears to be almost living and sentient,sometimes appearing to move and flare of it's own accord. As such, Caelum's reiatsu behaves differently than most others' and has been know to feel out opponent in such a way they can physically feel it. Caelum's reiatsu is so violent and unnatural that is is not uncommon for his reiatsu to roar or growl. That's right, it roars and growls.
Orientation: Octava Eximo Espada
Personality: Um, enigma much? Caelum is a big ball of whirling genius. How so? How is he knows how to use his greatly varying personality to manipulate, frighten, or win over virtually any he so pleases and does so without having to fake a damn thing. As such he uses his own natural charm and character to become a skilled proficient puppeteer. This is due to his level of evolution, perhaps even a mutation, that has allowed him to ascend beyond abiding by the laws, rules, and limitations pertaining to his own mentality. As such he can consciously cause his mindset to shift under circumstances that would not allow any other to do so. A person could work on his last nerve with something before suddenly finding themselves looking into his smiling face and finding that everything they do simply genuinely amuses him. This trait has caused some to believe him psychotic as such changes in personality or mood are typically unorthodox. Moreover, having "ascended" in such a manner, he is able to process and calculate things at a remarkable, almost unprecedented rate and is capable of thinking of things in an omniscient fashion that occasionally gives way to clairvoyance (the ability to possess knowledge or information without having the means or taking the steps necessary to discover said information by normal or personal means). Because Caelum's personality, mood, and mindset can be so changed it is best to simply state various sides of his character: lusty, seductive, humorous, cunning, conniving, vengeful, superior, cold, merciless, sweet, romantic, charming, and all around morbidly wonderful.
-Side note: Caelum is a bit of a horndog. This may be a bit unprofessional, but hey, he's still a man. Albeit one with aspirations to conquer all of Hueco Mundo and subsequently all of existence.
Aspect of Death: Subjugation | Rage
~Background~
Mask Remnant: Nonexistent
Hollow Hole: Through his heart
Numero Location: Base of neck, right side
Height: 6'2 | 6 feet 2 inches
Weight: 237lbs of pure muscle
Hair: Pic
Eyes: Caelum's eyes have been known to vary in shade and hue. Such variations are Amber (Frequent), Silver (Rare), Crimson (Common), Cerulean/Azure (Occasional). They also appear just almost slitted.
Physical Appearance: Caelum is very lean built. Possessing a toned muscular physic to be envied, Caelum's body is the epitome of power and strength. Silvery-blue hair adorns his average shaped skull in a somewhat spiky fashion in the back. Medium length bangs obscure crimson color eyes whose pupils appear almost slitted. His Hollow fragment no longer remains, having ascended past the point of showing anything other than his Hole. Although always covered, his Hollow Hole resides where his heart should, which only helps to justify comments about Caelum being "heartless" or "empty". Unlike all other Arrancar or Espada, when not on official business, Caelum does not wear the now traditional Arrancar garb, being the opposite of the Shinigami's uniform. Instead Caelum wears a deep black t-shirt, covered by black overcoat with short sleeves, split down the middle from the waist down. Underneath the coat is a pair of military pants cinched just above the black pair of combat boots upon his feet. The look is finished with a pair of black leather gloves.
History: Ancient by any man's standards, Caelum has seen more battles than nearly any other living Hollow that still currently exists, and most certainly has devoured and consumed more Hollows than any man could count. In so doing Caelum achieved another tier of evolution and transcended the level of Arrancar and is...something else. How this being came into existence is unknown exactly but perhaps it is due to the colossal amount of reiatsu he has come to absorb and plethora of hollows and their abilities that he has managed to subjugate. Now he simply refers to himself as a Transcendent. But one thing can be accounted for: If this man has been around for so long, where has be been during the whole mess that has been going on? And why was he not the one to preside over Hueco Mundo, and by extension Las Noches, instead of Sosuke Aizen? And equally important, how in all of hell did he survive the winter war and, being so powerful, why didn't he step up and take control? Caelum himself cannot say how it happened, but he does know that for the past five thousand years he has been slumbering deep beneath the sands of Hueco Mundo in a coma-like sleep. A "Hibernation" of sorts if you will. But what is all of creation could have induced such a sleep? The only possible cause that Caelum can deduce is phenomenon that he cannot explain, being that the countless hollows devoured and subjugated possibly rose, resulting in a temporary stasis in which he needed to once again subjugate the numerous presences with his own overbearing sense of self and presence and his own inherent power. Doing so, simply by the sheer number of hollows and other beings devoured, would have taken a tremendous amount of time, time he would have spent ina suspended state sustained by his own reiatsu and the high reishi concentration of his home world and preserving his youth -- or rather his youthful appearance. But his success resulted in the being you see today. Now he walks again.
It has been some time since he woke from this sleep (a hundred years actually) and, as one might imagine, after such a long sleep he found that his powers had significantly diminished. As such he laid in wait, biding his time until his power returned. But plans have already been laid and the one once known as The Dark Prince has been doing anything but sitting idly by as the other Arrancar and Espada roam about or plot and plan in the hopes of toppling Soul Society. Now, Caelum seeks to further his plans. However he faces new opponents and challenges this time around, as Aizen is gone and Termino Muerte is now reigning as the White King of Hueco Mundo. Things are going to certainly get interesting.
With Ganga the current leader of the Espada, now known as the Eximo Espada, Caelum joined and chose to take the position of Octava, despite his abilities and skills far exceeding those of his given rank. However it serves him well as it allows him to go primarily without much notice and to take on less responsibilities within Las Noches. ...That and he was admittedly feeling too lazy to fight for a more desirable position at the time of his induction. As the current Octava, Caelum primarily keeps to himself, interacting with the others little more than necessary, though forever watchful and observant. However this is not to remain the case forever. Caelum secretly has plans for the Ganga and his Arrancar....

~Zanpakuto Information~
Zanpakuto Appearance: Various
Caelum has transcended beyond the need for carrying a zanpakutou outright. In fact, so fully has he come to grasp his power, he does not truly have one at all. Instead, the very essence of Caelum's power and strength has merged with his very being and has come to become integrated with his reiatsu. Due to this his reiatsu is his weapon and as such he has reached a level of frightening potential.
Deus Iratus's Crystalis de Forza is a largely misunderstood ability. Crystalys de Forza is Caelum's ability to crystallize, or gather and give form to, his reiatsu. While typically used for the purpose of forming weapons of some variety --and in some cases barriers-- that often and usually appear transparent, Crystalis de Forza is capable of creating virtually anything Caelum possess the reiatsu to allow. Having said this, it is incapable of creating energy blasts/waves/surges/beams/etc. Due to his ability to simply materialize or form weapons seemingly from thin air, Deus Iratus tends to give his opponents the impression he wields invisible weapons. These weapons and such can be manipulated telepathically once formed.
((Composing weapons and/or barriers by Caelum does not drain him of Reiryoku, as these things can be decomposed and the reishi will be once again his disposal. While in use, their reishi is unavailable to him but not expended/gone. This also applies to anything else created by him with his ability. However breaking any of the aforementioned renders the reishi/reiryoku expended/inert and unable to be recollected. The expended reishi/reiryoku must then regenerate over time by normal means as in any other situation.))
Zanpakuto Name: Deus Iratus - Crystalis de Forza
Zanpakuto Type: Various
Resurrecion Appearance: + Stage One +
Initial Release
Uttering the release phrase necessary, Caelum causes his brain to be induced into an enraged state. It is from this that his zanpakutou derives its name. Deus Iratus, meaning "Angered God" causes Caelum's muscles to function at their full capabilities bringing about a level of strength that most beings could not dare to hope to contend with and an extreme few who could actually defend themselves against it. If this were not bad enough, Caelum's reiatsu damn near triples, granting him what comes to be more than twice that of what even the highest level Sou-Taichou might boast. However this is for good reason. With the release of Deus Iratus Crystalis de Forza gains the ability to perform the only action it was not capable of before: firing/releasing/generating blasts, waves, surges, beams, and etc of spiritual energy. As such, Caelum tends to burn this energy at an accelerated rate. The performance of this ability in conjunction with Crystalis de Forza's standard ability can prove formidable. As for his appearance, it changes little. An ominous aura coats his form and darkness, pure and unadulterated, comes to naturally merge with his spiritual energy. This gives all of his attack and abilities a slight dark elemental power boost and qualities. His hair also gains a somewhat shaggy look to it as an overbearing aura of presence hangs about him.
+ Stage Two +
Modified Release
Deus Iratus permits Caelum to enter a secondary stage, different from a secondary release, that is solely used for the complete destruction of his opponent. In this stage, the darkness (which is actually dark reishi that naturally occurs and exists in the world) more fully fuses with his spiritual energy. What's this mean? It means he's gonna go all 'Dark Overlord' on yo' a**! This fusion induces his body to undergo a change. Like with the eyes of Vizards, the whites of Caelum's eyes themselves become black while his irises turn a deep bloody red. A large amount of reiatsu explodes from Caelum's person resulting bluish-silver/gray-blue rain. Caelum's clothing now possesses something of a tattered look, the end of his sleeves looking raggedy and torn, the same look appearing at the base of his trousers. Powerful tattered midnight wings sprout from Caelum's back enabling flight, his wingspan easily 16ft, though its exact size is unknown as he has never taken the time to measure them. Onyx demonic horns curl back from his forehead in an almost "S" shaped fashion then bend forward pointing upward at the tip. This is matched by a long jet black tail that protrudes from his posterior region. Caelum's hair also grows a several inches and gains a wilder, darker look. Relinquishing the ability to form weapons at will, Caelum instead receives a single blade. A scythe as it so happens, and this scythe has a long obsidian black blade jutting from the jet black pole. Cerulean blue kanji trail along the side of the scythe pole reading "Reap under The Moonlit Sky". A rather long black cloth is wrapped around the base and tethered to the bottom. The cloth is sturdier than one might think and not too easily severed. The blade itself is a solid 4.5 feet long and the edge is simply laden with hundreds of tiny serrations that rip and tear at flesh as the blade cuts and slashes. The scythe also becomes something like a chain, capable of extending and retracting. Even tiny cuts made by this newly serrated blade can prove to be a problem as they do not cut and slice cleanly and rip, shred, and tear at muscles and tendons. A wide strip of azure blue runs from the back of the blade down to approximately midway in the shape of a fang and a smaller blade protrudes from the back of the scythe, being only approximately 4 1/2 inches.
With this transformation, as stated before, Caelum can no longer manifest his weapons or create energy attacks, however in return his strength and speed are augmented to allow him to now move at incredible speed and possess almost "god-like strength" -as though he didn't before-. Furthermore, due to his enraged mindstate he is capable of fighting berzerker-style, ignoring physical damage. His Cero and Bala also regain their true strength becoming a force reckoning. Simply undergoing this transformation also allows his reiatsu to freely flow about his body and the battle field. This, in and of itself, is a dangerous thing as Caelum is still remarkably skilled at manipulating this and can completely reduce visibility by tapping into the dark reishi properties of his reiatsu. It is only during Stage Two that Caelum has Release Attacks.
Resurrecion Release Command: Bow before the omnipresent god, Deus Iratus.
Resurrecion Abilities: Stage One: Greatly enhanced strength, Berzerker-Like Endurance, Enhanced Stamina
Stage Two: Maintains all of the above as well restored speed and destructive power.
Resurrecion Attacks: Available in Stage Two Only:
~Ira: Caelum’s most basic as well as his signature ability. With Caelum’s body reacting to the signals of rage, anger, and excitement, its power and strength, and energy increase drastically. The more enraged he becomes, the more energy his body gathers. After gathering energy, generated by the chemical responses the brain, Caelum releases a variable energy discharge from his body. This energy is discharged either directly vertically in a small circular area around him or in a torrential whirl of spherical energy. The destructive capability of this ability fluctuates although never drops below a certain point, being enough to completely annihilate an unseated Shinigami or seriously harm one of lieutenant rank.
--Iratus: Iratus is a subset of Ira that allows Caelum to gather or channel the energy to be discharged into his hands, feet, or blade and thus attack with it. Should Caelum choose to simply store the energy, Iratus then takes on a new description; Iratus then allows Caelum to coat his body in said energy before releasing an omni directional blast or firing it off from whatever appendage he chooses.
~Omni Presence: Caelum is known as the Omnipresent God for more reason than one. First, his reiatsu is so vast and deep that it seems to swallow and engulf those in its influence, giving one the feeling that his entire being has surrounded them. Secondly, because of his next ability. Easily his more well known ability, Omni Presence concentrates or saturates the energy unconsciously released from Caelum’s form to generate a sense in the brain that causes one to feel as though Caelum is all around them. In so doing Caelum robs one of their natural senses of location, direction, and also of their ability to accurately discern his location. While all of this is happening, the reiryoku in the environment begins to create a droning sound as the particles that compose it begin to vibrate at a speed of 4900 vibrations per second. With such an incredible vibrating speed, the reiryoku in the air becomes a lethal weapon that takes on physical properties once gathered to a certain degree capable of slicing through nearly anything. He can increase the vibration speed at will with a deal of concentration. At will, Caelum can use the omniscience of his reiatsu to create a virtually inescapable field of contracting or condensed reiryoku. Should he wish to, Caelum can cause all of his energy to concentrate and condense upon his opponent at once, but to do so would nearly drain him of all of his energy or a little over half in the best case scenario.
(Prolonged use = 3 posts. Full concentration = 1 post || Dice roll upon full concentration. 1-3 = retains just under half of his reiatsu.)

Skills:
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Though he prefers to do without and thus less frequently engages in it, Caelum appears to be highly skilled in swordsmanship, or scythes-manship as it typically so happens. He is capable of using his strength for brutally powerful blows and to inflict lethal attacks without much effort.
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Caelum tends to rely mostly on hand-to-hand combat, preferring not to stain his blade with the blood of "trash". Though he may possess a toned semi-muscular build, Caelum possesses titanic strength. To underestimate his strength is like thinking that a bike could outclass a mustang in terms of horsepower and strength. His physical strength could be call awe-inspiring...or it could be called terrifying. He can easily contend with even some of the strongest of foes and surpass the rest with a level of physical power that could be almost considered unnatural...even in this world.
Sonído: One of Caelum's less noticeable traits is his speed. While he is certainly not slow, he isn't the speediest either. Some of his proficiency in sonido was sacrificed in exchange for greater strength and reiatsu. Overall, he is just quick.
Cero: Caelum favors firing his Cero from his fingers, and with excessively destructive power at that. Despite this being the case, Caelum is not very proficient with his Cero, having sacrificed some of it's natural destructive power in favor greater reiatsu and strength. To compensate, he instead simply fuels his Cero with a greater amount of spiritual energy than would be typically necessary. His Cero is a melancholy blue.
Bala: This technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. Caelum's Bala, unlike his Cero, appears a deep bloody red. Like his Cero, Caelum fuels his Bala with a greater amount of spiritual energy than would normally be required to make up for the reduced strength.
Enhanced Hierro (鋼皮（イエロ）, iero; Spanish for "Iron", Japanese for "Steel Skin"): refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. Caelum will proudly tell any who asks or seems incapable of understanding that his Hierro is the hardest among all of the Arrancar/Espada. This is due to the fact that he possesses the most reiatsu among the Espada and one's Hierro is a direct by-product of the compression of said reiatsu. He can deflect attacks of similar power barehanded and receive little to no injury whatsoever. Because of this, Caelum's opponents tend to require to add a little extra "oomph" into their attacks to cause him injury...or a lot of extra "oomph". This is does not make him invincible, but to attempt to harm him with anything short of bankai or Resurrecion strength would akin to striking him with a sheathed sword. At least, that is how he feels. Having said this, blunt force damage is possible. In truth, he waits for one to stand before him with the strength to cut through his impressive Hierro.
Pesquisa: The Arrancar ability to sense spiritual energy. While any Arrancar can learn it, Caelum possesses impressive skill with it. From a single glance at his opponent, Caelum can quickly determine how powerful his opponent is and generally does so with uncanny accuracy.
Descorrer (解空(デスコレール), Desukorēru; Japanese for "Loosed Void", Spanish for "Drawing Back/Opening"): A technique used by Espada-level Arrancar and sometimes others, to open a Garganta between the living world and Hueco Mundo and even into the Precipice World.
Spiritual Power: The only accurate way to describe Caelum's spiritual pressure would to be say "it is a monolithic force unlike any ever experienced in the history of living-kind." His spiritual power is so incredibly colossal that it is unmatched by any other Arrancar to his current knowledge, surpassed only by Ganga, and can actually be manipulated and wielded as a weapon. This is due to having sacrificed some of his speed and destructive capabilities with his natural Hollow/Arrancar abilities as well as a portion of his Resurreccion abilities. When released en totale, Caelum's reiatsu is capable of actually dealing physical damage to those within its sphere of influence. With this being the case, his reiatsu remains under a mental restraint that seals it within his person. However, possessing such a massive reiatsu comes at its price. Releasing his full reiatsu outside of his Resurrección actually affects him as well, as even his body is not completely capable of withstanding his own reiatsu. It creates a strain upon his body, slowing his movements and weakening his physical abilities. However he does not mind this as he feels the inevitable paralysis that he so surely believes will be instilled upon his opponents is worth the pain and momentary weakness. Caelum's reiatsu in particular is unusually dense, feeling heavier than the standard variety reiatsu. Caelum seems to take great pride in this fact and the density of his reiatsu seems to vary depending on how much Caelum releases as well as the particular mood. Once Caelum has settled into the heat of the battle and attained a sense of bloodlust, being unique in that it is a state in which virtually nothing else matters but the death of his opponent, his reiatsu’s density greatly increases and while in his Resurrección form reaches such a level that it generates a feeling indescribable, instilling fear and sorrow upon his opponents by actually affecting the brain.
{For further clarifications, Caelum's base reiatsu level stands at about double captain's level.}
Gran Rey Cero: Gran Rey Cero is performed when an Arrancar draws blood from the Cero firing appendage with their Zanpakutō and mixing their blood with their original Cero. The result is a Cero with a much greater attack power, size, speed, and force, as well as a change of color. This Cero is also many times more powerful than a normal Cero, and is capable of disturbing the fabric of space. When fired, it spins like a razor upon release and compress and decompress, due to the sheer speed and raw power. Unlike most Ceros that mainly take the shape of a sphere created by user and released in a huge blast wave, the Gran Rey Cero, when fired, keeps its sphere form, even after being fired in a huge blast wave. It is a drastically potent Cero and only Espada are allowed to use it. While Caelum no longer remains but an Arrancar, he possesses the ability to utilize this level of Cero.
Regeneration: While not high speed, Caelum does possess the ability to regenerate. It takes some time for him to heal, but it is definitely faster than normal and wounds that normally would not be able to be healed such as a lost eye or arm will over time regenerate. Fatal wounds are outside of his capabilities, however organs are not and he can recreate them, but take significantly longer to manage than other wounds. This does not apply to his brain. Regeneration in only capable if Caelum possesses the reiatsu to fuel the healing process.
