Name: Euthymias Hyaenidae
Gender: Male

Appearance: Euthymias is rather diminutive, standing at only 5'3" tall.
Affiliation: Las Noches
Position/Rank: Segunda Espada
Numero: 93
Aspect of Death: Acceptance
Personality: To Euthymias, the world is a joke, and he is a jester. He, as many Arrancar are, is utterly devoid of all morals. However, unlike others, he revels in this fact, and enjoys taunting others, attempting to bring them down to his level. Everything seems to delight him, and he is in a constant state of laughter. Euthymias is utterly incapable of taking anything seriously.
History: Euthymias was, by all accounts, a completely ordinary Menos, with the only outstanding feature about him being his unusually high amount of Reiatsu that enabled him to quickly climb the Menos food ladder, allowing him to become a Vasto Lorde.
One hundred years after his birth from the mix of consciousnesses that make up a Gillian, Euthymias was approached by an Arrancar that referred to himself as Arturo, offering to turn Euthymias himself into an Arrancar. While Euthymias had heard of such beings, he was rather apathetic about the change, accepting for a reason unknown to any being, including himself. When questioned as to why, he merely states that a force compelled him to accept the offer.
Nearly 40 years later, when the Rebellion of Las Noches began, rather than choose sides, Euthymias would assist whoever at the time he found to be most likable. Due to his fickle nature, there were very few Arrancar who trusted him to handle jobs of any real importance, which limited the capacity he was used in the war. This suited Euthymias just fine, as he had no real concern over who was the leader.
When the Arrancar known as Cillian took the throne at the end of the revolution, Euthymias was delighted. He had known Cillian since before the Rebellion, and often likened them to two sides of the same coin. While both saw the meaninglessness of life, Cillian, to untrained eyes, seemed to despair, while Euthymias reveled in it. He now gladly works under Cillian, (usually) following his commands to the letter, grinning all the while.
Combat Information
Zanpakuto Name: Riendo Heridas
Zanpakuto Abilities: Riendo Heridas are incredibly sharp, able to cut through near anything - Euthymias has been able to cut through and destroy the Zanpakuto of lesser Shinigami. As long as the wounds remain open, the victim feels a deep-seated feeling of anxiety and hysteria.
Specialization: Close-Range Combat (Main), High Speed Combat (Secondary)
Known Techniques/Skills
- Sonido: Euthymias has an incredibly fast Sonido, second only to Esmeralda. Notably, he does not flicker into sight like other Arrancar, but will solidly appear, as though he were simply blinking into existence. Objects within ten feet of him will be blasted backwards with the force of his arrival. This force is enough to crack stones. However, Euthymias can only Sonido once every other post.
- Hierro: While he is not particularly skilled with the technique, Euthymias can harden his skin to be able to block strikes below Lieutenant level.
- Cero: In addition to his ordinary Cero, Euthymias has a unique Cero known as Penetrante Cero Lanza. This Cero takes a long time to charge (2 posts of uninterrupted charging) to be able to be fired at full strength. The effect is unlike any other Cero. A pencil-thin beam of Reiatsu is fired from the tip of Euthymias' finger. What makes this Cero unique is the fact that it will home in on the target it is fired at. The Cero can home in on any target in a 45 degree angle in front of Euthymias, and interestingly, leaves no collateral damage whatsoever, unlike other Ceros, which explode on contact.
- Pesquisa: Euthymias is utterly ignorant when it comes to the sensing of Reiatsu, and is unable to use Pesquisa.
- Close Range Combat: Euthymias's true strength lies in his ability to fight after closing any distance between himself and his target. Due to the short nature of his Zanpakuto, he constantly fights at a range that is usually reserved for hand-to-hand combat. At this range, Euthymias matches up against any Shinigami, including the 11th Division Captain.
- Risa Inquietante: When Euthymias laughs, everyone around him will begin to feel anxiety, as well as an instinct to simply lay down their weapons and accept their fate. Those with higher willpower can shake off this feeling.
Resurreccion Information
Name: Risa de la Hiena
Release Command: Howl
Resurreccion Techniques/Abilities
- Histeria Histéricos: An upgrade to Risa Inquietante, Histeria Histéricos causes Euthymias' laughter to cause anyone of low willpower to go temporarily insane, laughing along with him. Even those with strong willpower will have strong feelings of fear, revulsion, and an unwillingness to fight.
- Estampido Supersónico: The power of Euthymias' Sonido is increased, pulverizing rock and killing lower strength beings through the sheer force.
Segunda Etapa Status: [Achieved]
Segunda Etapa Name: Alucinación
Segunda Etapa Techniques/Abilities
- Reirán Conmigo: Euthymias' most powerful technique. When his Segunda Etapa is active, his laughter will pull everyone who hears it into a powerful hallucination. At first, this hallucination is rather minor, but very distracting. The illusions will shift and swirl about, never becoming quite solid. They will alternate between displaying to the victim some of their worst fears, and then images of their loved ones urging them to simply lay down arms and accept their fate. Any speaking sounds as though it is an echo from down a long hallway.
Any attempts made to physically interact with the illusion pull the victim deeper in, causing the illusions to become more solid, and sound as though they are getting closer in the hallway. After 5 attempts at interaction, the illusion will become indistinguishable from real life, and will become hostile to the victim, regardless of what form it takes. Though it can hurt the victim in this state, the damage is completely in their mind. If the victim continues to instigate interaction between themselves and the hallucinations, the hallucinations will grow stronger and stronger. At 10 interactions, the hallucinations are able to overpower the victim, and any harm they inflict will appear on the victim's body.
The only interactions that increase the hallucination's strength are ones instigated by the target - simply allowing the target to hit you does not count, for example. If the hallucinations are completely ignored for 5 posts, they will disappear, and the target will not be effected by Reirán Conmigo again until Euthymias exits and re-enters Segunda Etapa. Alternatively, if the target is able to laugh at along with Euthymias at any point, the hallucination will immediately end. If the victim is still trapped inside the hallucination when Euthymias exits Segunda Etapa, the effect ends.
- Hiena Blindado: Euthymias gains a suit of bone armor that is incredibly durable, able to stand up to even high-level attacks, when used in combination with his Hierro. When Hierro is not used, the armor is not as effective, though it will still protect him from and low-to-medium strength attacks.
Other Information: When consuming other Hollows, Euthymias will savor the mask, often carrying around the remains of kills to gnaw on when the mood strikes.
