"...yet so like an icon was he in his sitting that they grew cautious and spoke with circumspection among themselves as if they would not waken something that had better been left sleeping."   Full Name: High Clark
Aliases: My Lord, The King, The Desert Knight
Birthday: May 31st
Appearance/Actual Age: Early 20's / ????
Gender: Male
Reiatsu Color & Appearance: High has an interesting reiatsu, a rare dual toned color. When his reiatsu becomes visible, colors that can only be described as the most regal purple and the deepest black attack one's senses like a punch to the nose. It can take a different appearance; at one point seeming to hover just above his flesh and then the next flaring out from his body as if it were exploding from his body. His reiatsu is special beyond the wild colors, as it is remarkably dense and thick. When he does release it, there's little doubt as to the owner; only High Clark has reiatsu that incredible. Coming into close contact with High elicits two noted reactions. The first is that it cloys at the throat and lungs, making it difficult to breathe, while the second lays in the smell. High's reiatsu has a distinct smell of amaranth and rosemary, a peculiar mix that makes one think of sorrow and heartbreak.

  Height: 6'1"
Weight: 165lbs
Blood Type: AB-
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blond
Tattoos: N/A
Number: N/A Current Leader
Fraccion/Espada: N/A
Appearance: High Clark is simply that, even if at times he can appear out of this world. He's handsome, nothing that people would go absolutely crazy about, he simply has a nice facial structure that compliments the color of his hair, his skin tone, and his body type. His hair is light in color, blond, and hands around his shoulders in what some would call a mane, leaving kinky rivulets of hair to hang freely about his head, and only partially combed away from his face. It gives him a distinct look that borders on severe if not brooding, as his bright eyes look from behind this hair and scan with an eerie alacrity.
High is a tall man, standing a bit above the average height of most American males. This allows him to brood over many people with a stoop to his back, adding a layer of condescension to his body language. He's very slender as well, not to say he isn't physically fit in the least, he's simply thin in his body, arms, and even his thighs. His torso is also shorter than average, leading his legs and arms to both be and appear longer than they really are, which serves to caricaturize his body type in general. He is well muscled, and a good general descriptor for him is wiry.
When it comes to clothing, High follows anything but the normal clothing doctrine to the Arrancar. He is almost always seen in some modicum of formal wear, and makes a point to dress well in the current fashions the World of the Living hosts at the time. With the current era, black suits and white shirts seem to be the norm, and he has put an entirely semi-formal twist on it. His white shirts, clean and starched to a degree, are always left one or two buttons open revealing a small portion of his chest and the tip top of his Hollow Hole. He will normally wear a long blazer, which hangs to his knees, and he will bunch the sleeves up to his elbows. His pants are clean and crisp, and finally, he makes a point of wearing incredibly shined black leather shoes, which seem more at place at a formal dinner than ever on the battle field. He rarely wears ties, but it known to throw a small scarf or even a day cravat or ascot on to add a splash of color to his otherwise humdrum an average outfit. It overall serves to lengthen and thin his already slender figure, adding a modicum of something supernatural to his carry and his mannerisms.

 Cero: High is a Master of controlling his reiatsu and his reiyoku, and even more so when it comes to utilizing it in offensive measures. He has what is considered an Immensely Vast Spiritual Energy, a previously unrecorded measure of spiritual energy and it's pressure.
High has an extremely virulent Cero, in that it's power is only bellied by the speed in which it can be used. He has a minimal charge time, less than half a heartbeat, before the full power is instantly coalesced into the form in which it can be fired and retain it's immense strength. Unlike most Cero, High's has a variable explosive head. In most cases, when making contact with something, a Cero would create a devastating explosion to follow. High's Cero, however, is described as a Lance, and with it's variable power, it can be forced to maintain itself and not explode for a period of time even after piercing buildings and people and whatever else happens to get in the way. At any time, this can be reversed. However, when it comes to Bala, High has a very small amount of skill in this area. He can still utilize it's immense speed in order to surprise the odd opponent, but it packs a negligible amount of power, which practically makes it useless besides pushing the odd enemy or opponent back, or bringing a weakened building down with a well placed strike. He prefers to use his Cero, in most cases.
Zanjutsu/Weapon Combat:
High is an advanced weapon combatant, especially in three known areas, and is considered a Master of the latter two. He's well off with a bladed weapon, originally mastering the use of a hand-and-a-half longsword, before switching over to the use of a small dagger as his sealed power forced him into the position. He relies heavily on the speed of which it requires, outwitting many opponents simply through the use of well placed strikes and attacks before a retaliation can be fully brought back against him.
High's real skill, when it comes to weapon based combat, however, lies in the use of two spears at once. He is a master at using any one spear at once, using the length and speed of the light weapon to his advantage in order to prey upon enemies easily and quickly, but when two spears are placed his hands, he becomes a veritable hurricane of blades. Both spears can be exertly used in a mixture of thrusts, slashes, and parry's that allow High to move quickly, keep on the move, and exert a constant pressure upon his opponents. He has a tendency to mix wonderful footwork into his fighting style, between moving quickly and holding blades and body parts aside to deliver a strong and powerful kick to an opponent's chest or head. This makes High an incredibly dangerous opponent to face down in a one on one fight, and he remains just as dangerous when he's ganged up upon.
High holds himself to a motto, something along the lines of "Elegance brings down the Brute." This translates to a fighting style that looks part dance, part performance, and all death. A ballet of death and murder, blood and pain, if one understands the allusion. His footwork and flexibility lends itself to looking like a dancer winding their way across the floor, while his sword play and lance use makes him seem as much the elven warrior as one could think possible. It's beauty in death.
Sonido:
High's particular mode of combat requires a measure of speed, that which he is a definite Master of speed based techniques exclusive the Arrancar. His sonido is exceptionally fast, and during his time as an Espada in the years of yore, High was one of the few Espada noted for his exceptional speed among his other talents. This translates to a certain speed and precision outside of sonido use, where he has a natural perk for speed and accuracy. His normal movements are considered exceptionally quick and without use of a sonido, his movements can blur out of the visible spectrum at it's fastest and be hard to track at it's slowest.
Reflajo [Reflex]: A skill derived from Sonido, which focuses more upon the hands and arms rather than the movement speed the feet and legs bring, wherein one uses bridges or lengths of reishi to quickly move along certain distances. This skill requires a certain control of reiatsu within the user's body, and allows one to vibrate, in laymans terms, to a faster speed using their hands and arms and in thus allows a person to achieve sonido-like speed with these appendages. It results in faster attacks and general movement overall, and has proven itself incredibly useful in pinpoint attacks and even goes so far as to aid in precision. [4 post Cooldown period]
Hakuda/CQ Combat:
High is an Expert when it comes to the realm of Hakuda and hand to hand combat. He is exceptionally skilled as one would assume from his rank and the cumulative experience of unknown years, yet he holds no definite mastery in the art, and classically falls back upon his "Elegance
 Zanpakuto Name:
Llorando Tragar [ Weeping Swallow ]
Zanpakuto Seal Appearance: Llorando Tragar is a small weapon, and is hardly even obliquely seen in High's possession. It's a dagger, of all things, no more than seven inches in length total. The handle is wrapped in genuine stingray skin, and doesn't seem to possess a sheathe of any sort. The blade is a darker tone overall than normal steel, a dark grey, creeping on black, and it's edge has a keen white sheen to it that speaks towards it's sharpness. The blade, which proves even more odd, is somehow kept within the confines of High's throat. He manages to speak, talk, and eat around the obstruction through unknown means, but at any time, can open his mouth to an ungodly width in order to retrieve it.
Release Command: "Weep."
Resurreccion Information:
Resurreccion Release Appearance: (Physical Description)
Resurreccion Appearance: X
High has very little change to his appearance upon activating his first release, and this seems to be the norm for most who have a secondary release form, insofar that the first is only a partial change where the second is a much more drastic change.
Upon his release, High would always find the top portion of his clothing destroyed, usually leaving behind a sharp pair of pants and his nice shoes. His arms are absolutely covered in an exceptionally thick field of reiatsu, which forms a sort of armor if not a completely aesthetically pleasing accessory. This armor is black in color, and sans the dark purple bone that covers the tops of his knuckles and the backs of his fingers, is completely sleek and devoid of any deviation. At odd points, this reiatsu will evaporate in large streams of energy that wiggle and writhe as if they were living tentacles, wrapping around his body and his weapons, and even grasping at an opponent if they get close enough. They tend to offer him something in the defense department, as he is more at ease with blocking and deflecting attacks when wearing the release forms armor. He also has the ability to summon two spears at will, which are detailed below.
Resurreccion Special Ability: With his release, High has the ability to summon two spears, each one holding a great power. The power of his release, besides his sudden increase in physical and spiritual capability, is within these two spears. He can summon and unsummon them at will, which in turn gives him the ability to be the single individual capable of wielding the weapons.
Golden Rose of Mortality:
The Golden Rose of Mortality is a golden spear, fashioned to appear much like a rose. The pommel takes the form of a golden rose, with vines crawling up the shaft of the weapon, dispersing just before the long tip takes form. At 1.4 meters long, this is the shorter, and in some cases, more dangerous of the two sister spears.
The Golden Rose of Mortality has an interesting ability, in that wounds caused by the weapon simply don't heal. Even if racial abilities or healing kido is involved, the wounds given by the Golden Rose will not heal unless the user wishes it to be so.
This is caused by a phenomenon known only to the Golden Rose. When a wound is given, it will actually lower the overall health a person has. The simplest way to imagine this is that a person has a health bar. When the wound is given, it decreases the size of the health bar, and even if the health bar is at it's maximum, the wound would still have lowered the health bar, making it impossible to exceed the lowered health. At a result, the wound can not be healed.
Crimson Hyacinth of Rejection:
The Crimson Hyacinth of Rejection is a long red spear, 2 meters in length. Like it's sister spear, The Crimson Hyacinth is fashioned after the flower for which it is given it's name. The pommel is in the shape of a Hyacinth flower, with vines reaching all the way up to where the tip forms from the spear. While the ability of the Crimson Hyacinth is many a time seen is subserior to the Golden Rose, this weapon holds great danger to those who find their powers more fitting than their physical might.
The Crimson Hyacinth has the power to reject and neglect constructs made out of spiritual or magical energy. The spear will sever the connection an object has to it's spiritual energy, allowing the spear to simply phase through spiritual objects. For instance, if a kido barrier is raised, the spear will slice through it, and into the shinigami behind it, causing damage. While some releases have an armor of some sort, or even a racial ability to have harder skin caused by reishi, the spear will neglect the reishi making it up, and likewise phase through it to cause damage. Simply put, this spear topples any defense, allowing it to cause damage to those hiding behind. This spear is also useful in ending spiritual energy based attacks. If the blade can make contact with an attack, such as kido or cero or something of a similar sort, it's power can be weakened due to the blade "Rejecting" the power from which it derives. In this way, stabbing a cero with his spear, High can eliminate the power of the cero, but not the force, meaning he may or may not suffer damage. In this way, High can literally cut a Cero in half in order to avoid damage from the spiritual energy.
The Crimson Hyacinth has a secondary ability, that while less utilized to have more or a devious surprise, is still present and seemingly holds the spear back in the power department. Known simply as Barb, this ability is entirely based on the premise of surprise, and can still allow the spear's ability of piercing defense to be utilized. Thrusting with the spear allows it's power to activate at will, without a spoken command. At a certain point, the spear bends at impossible angles, and can even double back in certain situations. In this case, thrusting towards the opponents head could result in the spear actually piercing the opponent's thigh, and it's so quick that when one goes to dodge the head strike, they find that they are injured somewhere else already. It's an incredibly deprecating technique that proves to be incredibly dangerous and deadly as well. This technique can only be used every three[3] posts, and can spend no more than two posts actually active.
The true psychology of this technique lies not in what the person perceives, but in what outsiders perceive. The spectators would simply see High going for a strike, and it landing where ever he the blow actually struck, while it is the target who actually thinks the spear went for another location. It's a deeply psychologically affecting technique, at it's base.

Segunda Etapa Information:
Segunda Etapa Name: Caballero Corrompido [Corrupted Knight]
Segunda Etapa Appearance: X
High's Segunda Etapa is the real definition of change for the Lord of the Hollow. His clothes are removed from his body, and his hollow hole dilates to massive proportions, covering his body with an inky blackness that initially spreads from his arms, before leaking from his eyes and mouth and the Hollow Hole itself, spreading to cover his body completely in a purple-black wreath of reiatsu, which obscures his features almost completely, leaving him all sharp angles and deep crevices. His eyes become a lighter shade of purple, and two lines of similar color line vertically with the center of each iris, while from his mouth he would constantly exude a smoke which seems spring from within him out of nothing. His body replaced with an inky darkness that moves around seemingly with a life of it's own, representing the heart of corruption and how it fills a person up to the brink leaving nothing behind.
Segunda Etapa Special Ability: Within the cover of his Segunda Etapa, High Clark seems to retain and build upon his powers from the first release, taking them and twisting them into something much more corrupted.
His body is made from a darkness, and this darkness seems to retain both abilities inherent to his initial release, held back only by the fact they are only slightly weakened. While he retains both abilities, and his fists, feet, or even attack sprung from his body have both abilities active in one fell swoop, they are weakened slightly due to the sheer strength it would otherwise represent.
Mortal Coil: This technique is that which is named above, and incorporates both powers of the spears into High's body itself. From the Golden Rose, High is able to inflict wounds that are incredibly difficult to heal, even with the advent of healing kido or some other technique. The limiting factor for this technique falls upon the fact that the Golden Rose's power is turned off the moment he exists this form of release, and wounds would only heal at a somewhat slower rate, requiring on average three times as much energy or time in order for repairs to be made. Secondly, The Crimson Hyacinth allows High to reject, to a degree, defenses which stand in his path, allowing his extensions to literally pass through kido based barriers, armor made of reishi or reiatsu, and defenses of that order with no difficulty whatsoever, by separating the object from which it derives it's power, usually through shutting spells down or temporarily extending a block to spiritual constructs. This is limited by the fact High's reiatsu must be stronger or greater than that of the opponents.
Reiatsu Control: In his Segunda Etapa, High has an absolute control of his reiatsu and reishi, as if it were tamed by his presence alone and in turn leaving it a slave to his every whim and desire. The black reiatsu covering his body can be used for a plethora of things, such as extending sharp barbs, fashioning weapons, or temporarily erecting a barrier. He is somewhat limited in this respect, as the objects he creates must have a defined and constructed connection to High, or they will disperse over the course of the next post. At the same time, objects he creates can not be larger than twenty five [25] feet in total length or width. All objects High creates using this technique, if defined as a weapon, will have the powers of the Mortal Coil technique that is inherent to High's Segunda Etapa.

Personality: High is assertive and outspoken to a wild degree, yet finds himself plagued with a childlike insanity that few could match. His intelligence is likewise matched to his insatiable and wild mind, matching it step for step in some broken dance that could only be described as the mad genius. At times, High's madness can lead many to believe he is unfit to be a leader of the arrancar, but time and time again he proves the assumption wrong. He is a natural leader, and even now, in the midst of his insanity, proves that he is the best his people could wish for. Being a natural leader and so outspoken, High has little trouble with giving away his ideas and his orders, making it very plain what he desires, wants, and very rarely making one have to work to figure out what he desires known.
That isn't to say the man isn't secretive, quite the opposite actually. He's an incredibly mysterious individual with an agenda that seems to only marginally bisect that of his duty as a leader, leaving many a quieted eyebrow as to exactly what it is this man is doing.
High is a condescending man as well, and is very plain with his disdain, hatred, anger, and whatever else so pushes him to extremes of these emotions. He can be quite well spoken at times like these, and let's his own mouth lead him into peculiar situations. While he is definitely slow to anger, taking most things in stride and as part of a greater joke, when the moment arises he can also become incredibly verbose to the point of a similar insanity, leaving many in the dust wondering what he actually said. It could be weeks before they realize that he insulted them, he cut so deep with that silver tongue.
High is otherwise a captivating individual, who finds little room for boredom with a mind such as his, so much to do, and so many arrancar and holo to talk to. He makes a point of talking, almost all the time, and finds lack of good conversation to be nigh upon a treason to his name. He shows little in ways of love, many things in ways of attraction, and generally doesn't give a lick of information as to if he actually loves and cares for a person genuinely, classically a trickster, prankster, and mischief maker wrapped in one, with a dash of Casanova and The Most Interesting Man in the World, before finally wrapping the entire dish in some Loki and the Mad Hatter.
Fears:
High has a distinct fear of losing his home.
Losing his Lordship over Hollowkind
Weaknesses(If not covered):
High is exceptionally quick to anger, and suffers from bipolar disorder.
