Arrancar Profiles

[Bebo]

Name: Kratos "Beowulf" Streiter

Age: Looks around 29-30, is around 955

Height: 6'2

Weight: 260

Appearance: Beo has unkempt crimson hair, going down somewhat past his shoulders in length, and crimson colored eyes. (Essentially he looks like this), though over the course of five years his beard has grown to cover his chin more so. He is built muscularly, the most so out of the male espada, and keeps his body at it's peak levels through his training. He also has a set of light black tribal looking tattoos covering the tops of his shoulders, some of his upper back, and upper torso down to the front of his chest, one or two inches above his hollow hole (This kind of type).

The Espada all have variants of the arrancar uniform, and Beo is no different. He wears a faded white overcoat which goes down to near his ankles in length, hanging behind him of course. As a shirt underneath, he wears a black leather-type muscle shirt. He wears faded black pants, and wears dirty brown colored boots, which go up to just around his knees in length. Though if he's feeling lazy, he'll wear just the regular sandals. On the coat, there is a black trim, with stylized decorative lines and such along the edges and sleeves and such. He wears faded black finger gloves as well. (So more or less this with the color changes). He sometimes opts to go without the overcoat, looking like this clothing wise.

Due to the physiological change he went through, Beowulf's hair is shaggier than originally, and he has fox ears, which are mostly covered by his hair, save the tips peaking out slightly (However, Kat always knows exactly where they are), though these have barely visible bite marks nowadays due to Aly deciding she liked to chew on her dad's ears as much as Mom does. His fangs are sharp, and his nails are sharp as well. Most of his senses have been heightened greatly. Physically, the transformation has made him a lot stronger as well. He used to wear a necklace which had a dark red half of a snowflake, but he gave it to Kat, so she would have a piece of him with her at all times. He wears a wedding ring with a diamond in it on his left ring finger, with the name Kateros engraved into the silver. He also wears a golden ring with small engravings on his right hand, which is used for communicating with his set of Ojos.

Scars:
Large scar going diagonally across his chest, from upper right to bottom left, ending at the scar on his abdomen
Large horizontal scar across his abdomen
Bite mark scars on both shoulders
A vertical scar over his right eye, ends near the halfway of his nose

Mask remnants: A necklace made out of minuscule vasto lorde bones, that are held together by a seemingly invisible string. The necklace ends at the top of his chest.

Cero/Bala Color: Crimson

Gigai: A nice black suit, with a crimson red shirt underneath as well. The coat jacket is unbuttoned, and the top of the shirt is unbuttoned as well. He wears this to more formal things, though he sometimes goes without the jacket if it's not required.

Hollow hole and Number: Number is stylized and on the middle of left shoulder area, and hole is on his sternum.

Personality: Beo is generally fun loving, and usually can be found messing around with the other espada. He's a very mature and civil man almost all of the time. He has a set of morals that he doesn't like to see betrayed, and depending on the individual, he may either just be hurt from their actions, or straight out kill them. He respects his Espada, and expects them to follow his lead. He does not ask others to do what he wouldn't do himself as well. Beo puts a lot of trust into individuals he likes, but once it's betrayed, the individual will never get the same level of trust back. He loves Kat and his three children with all his heart, and would be willing to do anything to see her and them happy.

While he is generally nice and a jokester, when angered, Beo will become rather sadistic, giving no mercy and becoming overtaken by blood lust and his animalistic hollow instincts. Adding that fact to his level of power, very few would be able to survive his wrath.

Likes: Trustworthy people, Honesty, His good friends, Fighting, and Loyalty. Playing guitar as well.

Dislikes: Disobeying orders, Betrayal, his code of morals being betrayed, Vizard

Loves: Kitty and his Family.
 
Biography (optional): Born Kratos Streiter in a small village in Germany, Kratos lived a hard life as a child. Both of his parents had gone off to war and died, leaving him to fend for himself. He stole what he could to get by, but was usually caught and subsequently beaten for it. He didn't care, as physical pain meant nothing to the emotional pain he had felt when he lost his parents. Anyways, soon enough he wisened up at the behest of an old man, who found him after a beating. The old man took him in and taught the young boy right from wrong, teaching him the ways of chivalry and such as well. Kratos continued to grow up as he lived with the old man, the old man training Kratos in combat and teaching him how to be a man. Kratos lived with him throughout his teen years and up until he was 19. The old man had died, and he was all alone again. He took what he could, and left the village where they had lived, venturing to the city.

Kratos then joined the order of the Teutonic Knights, having no where else to go. Thanks to the old man's teachings, he became an outstanding knight. He was a valiant warrior, fighting against his enemies so fiercely that the nickname "Beowulf" was given to him, as a reference to the fierce warrior from the tale and how similar they were in combat. Kratos was an honest and trustworthy man, who believed in such ideals, and others admired him for being so. During a battle however, Kratos was betrayed and murdered by another knight, who was jealous of his reputation and skills.

Almost immediately after he was killed, his anger and rage at the one who murdered him caused him to become a hollow. Starting out small, Beowulf, using his knowledge of combat and fighting coupled with his skills, eventually made his way up the hollow evolutionary chain after a very long time, reaching Vasto Lorde status. Around three hundred years ago, Beowulf was turned into an Arrancar by the former first espada, who was impressed by his fighting skills after the two had battled. Spending only about five minutes with him, Beowulf, disagreeing completely with how the former first ran things, became a rogue arrancar, who wandered the deserts. He did so until meeting with another arrancar, who went by the name of Shanks. Beowulf pledged his loyalty to him, and the two then assaulted Las Noches, and Shanks succeeded in murdering the Former First Espada. Even though Beowulf was Shanks' right hand man in the assault, the arrancar Dorrochet was still stronger than him overall.

Starting out as the Third Espada, he gained a promotion due to the betrayal of Dorrochet, something he had a hard time getting over. His betrayal triggered something in his mind, reminding him of how someone had betrayed him before. After the aforementioned events, he continued to live his life, day by day. Upon meeting the now fourth espada Kateros, the two became very close friends. Beowulf immediately gained a rather strong liking to her, for reasons he'd later understand. The two soon fell deeply in love, and are married and are now proud parents of the twins Syrus and Alyana, their son and daughter respectively and their adopted son Loa of course. Now that he's a father, Kratos tries his best to be the best one he can be to his children and a loving husband to Kateros.

After a fierce battle with an old nemesis, Beo's power gained a substantial boost due to his absorption of his powers. A little while after this, Shanks decided to retire after killing Allens once and for all, passing on the title of First Espada to Kratos. Beo now leads in his stead, hoping to be just as good a ruler as he was. Over the course of five years, Kratos has led the Arrancar with unwavering dedication, although he has become much more resentful of the Shinigami than previously before, due to their unchanged view on Hollows even after all this time. As a result, he has become increasingly hostile towards the soul reapers, and this attitude can be felt in the commands he gives towards his men, leaving a feeling on both sides that real fighting perhaps could break out at any second.

However, over the five years as well, Kratos has grown into more of a fatherly role than ever before, what with Syrus and Alyana having grown up a little and Loa being old enough to begin to take care of himself. The twins, now five years old, have developed their own personalities as every child does, and although this can leave him and Kat feeling harried at being parents, he still loves being a dad to his family, something that will never change.

He has grown to use his real name more so over the five year period as well, letting those close to him use his nickname instead.

Kido (if any): None, as Arrancar have not been shown using it

Special abilities (if any): Beo has mastered nearly everything that revolves around combat, and is especially a master of hand to hand combat. His skill in sonido is so great that it seems as though he possesses a form of teleportation as he moves in the blink of an eye. His physical strength is tremendous as well, able to hurl massive boulders with no difficulty for example.

He is right handed, but has trained himself to use a weapon in either hand. If he channels his reiatsu into the golden ring he wears, he'll be granted vision of the Ojos currently active on his men inside his mind so to speak.

[Kateros]

Character Name: Kateros "Demon" Streiter **Note, Calling her Demon IC may result in loss of appendage or something. >_>**

Age: Looks about 26, is really almost 1000 years old. (986 now.) Her newest form is 6 years old.

Height: 5'9

Weight: 152  (Her chest has to weigh at least 30-40lbs. I mean mine is only about 20lbs and hers are.... Dah. Rant stays because I laugh at it when I read it. )

Appearance: Kateros is a tallish women, with a curvy body, long legs, and a large chest. She has dark silver hair that has grown out and reaches quite a bit past her waist, pulled into a largish  loose bun most of the time while her bangs on both sides hang down past her neck. Her hair curls and is wavey slightly, thus making it come loose from its holding. Kat's skin has a slight tan, golden look to it, and on her lower back is a tattoo of a silver hell butterfly, encircled by a black dragon. On her left hand is a gorgeous wedding ring, silver with a ruby in the center with Beowulf's real name engraved on the inside.
 
She also now has sharp sharp nails, capable of tearing most things to pieces farily easily. On top of her head is two cat ears, silver in color except for the tips which are black, and now she has small fangsies that sometimes show out of her mouth... Her body can also contort much more easily, making it a breeze to bend around and reach things like how a cat moves. Her balance is also greatly improved, as well as her hearing and smelling abilities. Which come as an annoyance sometimes. She tends to hide her ears though most of the time.

Each Espada has their own special uniform, and Kat is no different. Her uniform is this with a few alterations. The main part of the dress is white, while the gold and red parts are in black. Her shoes are opened on the toes as well, and lace up her leg partially.
 
She also wears two gorgeous glass necklaces. (one is longer and has a full of a snow flake (Purple, cause of the two halves combining) the other is a choker type with a sea green ribbon and a heart pendant.) She refuses to wear her captains uniform anymore... One day she shall pass it on to her daughter, though...

Scars:
Three thin scratches diagonally down her back from a stupid underestimation.
A smallish horizontal line on her abdomen that is where she got her c-section.

Mask remnants: Her mask is on her left and right ears. They look like Cho Hakkai's earrings, (from Saiyuki) covering her ears in spurts at the top, and continuing down to her lobes, where there are two medium sized hoops.
 
Gigai: She looks exactly as she normally does. It is exactly the same as her regular uniform, except no hole for her hole and it is a light red color.

Kat has a more formal attire, but she would only wear it to a nice occasion. The top is a white linen type (Think Egyptian), that is a single piece of cloth that crosses across her chest, wrapping around her neck.

The bottom is of the same type of material, but of a pleated type. When she walks, it reveals that the skirt is slit at these pleats all the way to the top, creating strips of the white cloth. In between these strips, is a gauzy, see through material, revealing her legs.

Hollow hole and Number: Hole is just below her breasts, right in the center, and the tattoo is on her left hip.

Personality: Kat is very playful with those she trusts, goofing off and generally being a total ditz sometimes. Sometimes she is too naive in her thinking, putting her trust in the wrong people, or giving too many chances. Her temper has been slowed since she has had the children, but still flares up from time to time, and for the most part is a very mature woman. Sadness is one thing she can not stand, and it tears her up to see others that way. Kat has a small sense of honor, wanting to repay debts that are owed, but she will shank you if she thinks you would harm her loved ones. She is head over heels in love with the Second Espada, Beowulf and is utterly devoted to him, though she won't let even him push her around. She looks at Loa as her son, and will protect him as if he was her own, and takes care of her children with a bit of patience largely owed to dealing with the others.

Likes: Chocolate muffins, Beowulf, her family, white hair and randomly glomping people.

Dislikes: Annoying people, death of ones close, sadness and regret, beer.
 
Biography (optional): Up until recently, Kateros was a shinigami running the 8th and medical squad of Soul Society. Unfortunately, she was lured out and brutally attacked by a group of beings called Devas. After being left for dead in Hueco Mundo, she was almost fully devoured by hollows. Soon after she became that which had fought against for most of her existence, a hollow! A very short time later, she had reached Adjuchas class, and that was when the First Espada found her and another. He took them back to Las Noches and forced them to become Arrancar. When she awoke, she had headaches caused from erasing most of her memories so that she could start a new life. She met the other Arrancar, and became close friend with a few, very close with the Second. Soon she came to find that Las Noches was a wonderful place, and eventually dealt with her past as a killer of her own kind. Now fully whole, with no small help from Beowulf, who is now her husband and the father of her twins Alyana and Syrus Streiter and her adopted son Loa.

5 years later, her babies are now young children and quite playful, giving Kat little time to do much else but keep them out of trouble.

Zanpakuto: Asclepius: Kat's zanpakuto is a silver colored whip (Indian Jones type), about 12 foot long and kept wrapped up and attached to her waist. Surprisingly, Kat can use this weapon extremely well. Pouring her energy into it allows her to cut through things like a normal sword. Releases with the command, "Restore, Asclepius!"

Kido (if any): None, as Arrancar have not been shown using it

Special abilities (if any): Now she can heal wounds/restore energy/check status by forcing her energy into someone. It is slightly painful if not an arrancar.  **>_>** Its not as strong as when she is released though.

[Loa]

Character Name: Loa Streiter
 
Age (how old you look, and then your actual age): 18, for both.
 
Rank: 7th Espada, as well as PRINCE OF LAS NOCHES AND SON OF THE MOTHERFUCKING BEBO AND KITTEH

And nephew of Nari.

And Reaver.

And Dorro’s… thing.

His family line gets complicated around this point.

Height: 5'9 (It was an incredible growth spurt)

Weight: 140 lbs.
 
Appearance: Compared to most Espada, Loa went through quite the physical metamorphosis. The most drastic change in appearance would be his height, something a bit less out of place when amongst his comrades. His black hair is now much more “structured”, simply long instead of a mop, the back running down to his shoulder blades and the bangs typically obscuring parts of his face. To those that knew him, Loa actually very much resembles a younger Someone.

Beyond that, Loa is still quite recognizable. Loa is still thin and lanky. He still wears the typical Espada uniform, in addition to his white, long-sleeved coat with the criss-crossing triangle buttons. His eyes are still a bright emerald, if much more somber looking than they used to be.

 Personality: Usually very quiet and reserved, preferring to only intervene in a situation if he must (or is asked to), and usually only opening up to those he considers close family. Loa is, however, quite prone to fits of “oddness”, some display of a strange behavior. For the most part though, he is your typical wallflower.
 

Likes: Cats, kittens, kitten-like things, dogs (since Dorro’s death, he’s warmed up to them), puppies, puppy-like things, spending time with his parents, sweets, seafood, tea, pillows, people.
 

Dislikes: Meat, most types of insects, hot climates.
 

Biography (optional):

“Why have you forsaken me?”

One of Las Noches’ youngest, little Loa Streiter was born through formerly-living-Dorrochet’s experiments with the mind, to be specific, his own mind. The details aren’t exactly clear anymore; Dorrochet claimed the boy was a part of his mind, manifested. Dorrochet has also claimed many other things which turned out to be lies, and with Loa’s memory of those early times rather fuzzy, the truth is a mystery. But that is all unimportant; the Loa of now is his own free hollow, bound only by the rules of non-life. And of Las Noches. And of his parents. And…

Moving on, upon his creation, however it happened, little Loa was tossed into the deserts of Hueco Mundo, left to wander until found. And he was found, of course, or this wouldn’t be written, by one Kateros “Now Married” Streiter, his future adoptive mother. He was taken back to the Magic Spanish Castle*, cleaned up, given room, and all sorts of other nice things. Such as a rank; with no one else to be given the title of 10th, it was handed to Loa. Promotions!

(Yes, the song is actually “Spanish Castle Magic”, it was rearranged on purpose. But the reference is still there)

While amongst his fellow Espada, Loa discovered a quirky little ability: he could smell, see, taste (but not hear, of course) other beings’ pheromones, a special chemical given off by living-beings. And apparently non-living beings, too. This was quite useful to him at the time, as he had trouble picking up people by spiritual pressure. With this ability, he could feel everyone, all the time! All… the time…

He also discovered that the pheromones of the sexually-frustrated Kateros and Beowulf drove him insane. There was no choice but to leave. Well, not really, they could have just done the deed, but who knows when that would have been? Loa hated waiting.

And so he wandered again, from place-to-place, realm-to-realm, squad-to-squad…

Oh, that’s right, he went to Soul Society. Fun times, especially with the Candy Man. Nix was his name.

Eventually the poor boy grew homesick, and went back home. Not immediately; he still hadn’t gotten the hang of gargantas, so it took a couple tries, but he made it. Loa was pleasantly surprised to find that the pheromones of the two were now clean and healthy. No more pain!

Life passed without much excitement. At one point, Dorrochet decided to make it known he was responsible for the lad; he fought a demon in a fight that apparently didn’t happen that he was crazy for thinking happen; he had ice cream; the two lovers were practically his parents now; Dorrochet died…

Ah, yes, his death. It hadn’t really affected him; in truth, he was glad for it. The man’s death was something he had been plotting for quite a while, but he just couldn’t pull it off. Finding out he had an assisted-suicide (forced assistance) was like waking up on Christmas Morning, except there was a carcass under the tree instead of a carefully wrapped box, but it was just what he wanted, so he didn’t mind.

How it affected other people, though, did bother him. There were a few who were upset; his mother, for instance. Loa couldn’t help but feel guilty, that his wish brought this on.

Many, many events have happened since then. Some events recorded in great detail – his excursion in Hell, for starters – others overlooked, lost in the five-year gap of this story’s telling. Whatever happened during that period of time, perhaps, can be told another time. As for what is happening presently, as Loa discovers what adulthood means… well, that still remains to be told, doesn’t it?
 

Kido (if any): None. Arrancar can’t perform the useless things.
 

Special abilities (if any): As already detailed in the biography itself, Loa can interact with other beings’ pheromones. This has its benefits, though Loa hasn’t made use of the ability in quite some time.

Loa also has the odd ability to disconnect body parts, turning them into hovering, controllable... well, limbs. This was originally an ability he had little-to-no control over, but with some practice, he’s gotten the hang of it. This is more of a battle ability, and seeing how Loa hasn’t been in many battles that weren’t practice (of total, 1, that doesn’t exist), he hasn’t used this much either. Though scaring the fraccions with it is quite fun.

[Saint]

Might as well get to this, because FUCKING JCONSERV'S NEVER COMING BACK UP!!! ;_;
Also, whoever can spot all of the FullMetal Alchemist reference in Saint's appearance and gigai appearance gets a cookie.

Name: Saint.

Age: Looks 22. Is 758.

Weight: 163 pounds.

Current Height: 5'10"

Appearance: Shoulder-length silver hair. His left eye is blue while his right eye is red. His mask remnants are located in two different places: In a thin line extending from the right side of his forehead straight down the rest of his face (stopping at the eye and starting again under it), and in a large X-shape across his left cheek. His Hollow hole is located in the right side of his chest (opposite from his heart). He wears the basic Espada uniform, sometimes with no changes, and sometimes with both sleeves cut off. His tattoo is on the back of his left hand. His body physique is almost exactly like Envy's, somewhat slender, but fairly muscular. Since he has his Cuerpo del Manipulacion, his body has almost no scars at all.

Gigai's Appearance: His gigai is mostly the same as his usual appearance (minus all of the Hollow traits), except that his right eye is also blue. His ranking tattoo is replaced by a tattoo of the Flamel seal. He usually wears either an orange jacket with a white shirt underneath and blue jeans or a black jacket with a white undershirt, dark blue jeans, and Greed-style sunglasses.

Personality: Usually joking and friendly, but when he gets pissed off, he can get extremely violent and sadistic. He likes to read manga and watch anime a lot. Even though he's originally of West European descent, he takes most of his mannerisms from America and Japan. He enjoys fighting a lot, usually refraining from using his Zanpakuto in non-lethal combat and spars due to the fact that he tends to get carried away with it and accidentally kills his opponent.

He's pretty lazy, and he's also pretty perverted. He also likes to get drunk and start barfights just for the hell of it (even though this has become a sort of bonding activity between the Espada. XD) When something bad happens, if Saint finds himself even partially at fault for it, he blames himself and become depressed and angry for long periods of time, due to feelings of weakness and self-hatred that arise from the events.

He views the other Espada and Daga as friends. He respects only Shanks as his superior (mainly because he views himself and Beowulf as equals for the most part), and most the time will follow his orders. Although he occasionally pulls pranks on all of the Arrancar, he's pretty nice and friendly to them all (except for if he's pissed off at one of them specifically). His view on Shinigami is somewhat different. He's willing to be allies, even friends, with them, but he views Hollows as a whole to be superior to Shinigami. He automatically hates any Shinigami that believes that all Hollows are evil and deserve to be killed. He views humans as people who make entertainment for him (manga, video games, etc...).

Likes: Sleeping, manga (especially FullMetal Alchemist), women, fighting (especially barfights), alcohol, coffee, and video games.

Dislikes: Paperwork, Shinigami that believe "LULZ AL HOLOZ IZ EVAL!!1!", soft music, people who turn against him, and extreme pacifism.

Biography (that's been revealed so far): Saint was an orphan in a Western European country in the mid-thirteenth century. He was born to a noble family named Wilder that had recently fallen from the graces of the king. They were being executed for embezzlement, but a few of them escaped. They didn't want to take care of a small child though, so they left Saint at an orphanage run by a church. He was then named after Saint Mithos.

He died when he was three of a plague, and arrived in the 77th District. The only part of his name that he could remember was Saint (even though he has vague ideas of which Saint he was named after). He managed to survive off of food and water given to him by sympathetic people, and met a girl with purple hair named Lucia when he was seven. Together, they managed to steal food from other people for a living, protecting themselves quite regularly.

They had enough luck to be noticed by a seated Shinigami once and were offered places in the Shinigami Academy, which they quickly accepted because of the promises of shelter and food. In the academy, Saint and Lucia were disliked for the most part, the exceptions being guys who thought Lucia was hot. They both constantly got into fights with other students and still stole from people.

<Rest of backstory goes here, will put it in as it goes>

When he finally became an Arrancar (after getting angry at himself and punching himself in the face so hard that most of his mask cracked off), Saint left his home in Hueco Mundo and stole numerous gigais from the Soul Society and lived in the Human World for about a hundred years, commiting various crimes and murders, switching between gigais and slaughtering his old ones to pull off perfect crime sprees and kill hundreds of people, mostly because he didn't like them too much.

After he returned to Hueco Mundo, he had found that all of the former Espada had been overthrown by the new First Espada, Shanks. Saint had hated the former First Espada, and had refused to serve under him. Shanks, however, was a completely different person. Saint joined the new Espada and was the Espada Sexta. After Zodiac's demotion, Satchiel's resignation, and Dorrochet's change-of-heart though, Saint made his way to his current rank, the Espada Tercera.

Kido: As an Arrancar, he can't use them. As a Shinigami, he used only a select few.

[Hime]

Character Name: Amara Rosa

Age (how old you look, and then your actual age): around 24, is about 250 yrs. old

Height: 5'8''

Weight: 132 lbs.

Appearance:
Amara is a very sensual and exotic kind of beauty, carrying around her an air of elegance and refinement easily reflected in her speech and manner. She has a slim, toned physique, and has soft, evident curves in all the right places, the product of arduous training and the like. She's not as busty as a few fellow Arrancar, but does posess a good amount. Amara has straight, ebony-black hair that flows down to her mid-back like silk, worn loosely and cut in layers, giving her that somewhat wild appearance. She has soft, tawny skin, stretching firmly around her hard yet feminine body.
 
Amara's face is adorned by soft features that grant her that sort of hypnotizing appeal to some. She has full, rosy lips, and wears thin black eyeliner on the corners of her eyes, giving her a cat-like appeal; again, another subtle hint to her more feral nature. Amara has vivid, crimson eyes that can change hue, whether a darker or lighter red, all due to her mood. She wears a new uniform now, which basically looks like this though it is in the standard black-and-white colors. Due to the ripped, uneven edges of the skirt, Amara wears black mini-shorts hidden beneath it. Since they rise up on the sides, you can't really notice them at all. She also wears the front of the shirt a bit more open, and the heels of the boots are a tad smaller to make it easier for combat and maintaining balance.

Personality: Calm and compassionate, Amara is a good listener and friend, she's very caring and is at times sensitive, but is playful and goofy as well. Caring deeply for her trusted comrades, she'd go to the ends of the world for them, willing to give her life for their protection and well-being. She's very trust-worthy and would never betray anyone in her family. However, she could be very aggressive if the moment arises, and blood-lusted when she isextremely upset, or enjoying herself far too much in battle. Amara shows her maternal side when it comes to her sister, Michru, and goes into "Aunt/babysitter mode" when it concerns Kateros' children. She's very protective, and would go to great lengths for her younger sibling and nephew and niece. As she is able to be serious, she can also be quite playful and feisty. Rawr.
 
Likes: Reading, The Espada, training to point of exhaustion, helping others, drinking beer with fellow Espada, good trust-worthy people, honesty, and battle-worthy opponents.

Dislikes: Fake, annoying people, conceitedness, and over-dramatic people. Those who pick fights with those who are clearly weaker. Lies and deception.

Biography (optional): (way too long..)

Kido (if any): none

Special abilities (if any): Has tremendous amounts of spiritual pressure that can be harnessed in any way if proper technique used. Very high stamina and speed, excelling in kick-boxing and hand-to-hand.

Extra: Hollow hole is slightly above Amara's belly button, with the hollow mask fragment on her left eye; it looks like a butterfly-masquerade but shorter. Number tatoo is on her lower back. A small, elegant, red rose tattoo on lower right corner of her belly button.

Gigai appearance: Amara wears this outfit.

[Rider]

Birthname: Yuan Kozuki

Name Change: "Rider"

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 174 lbs

Age: Appears 24, true age is 1205.

Appearance: Rider has long, blond-brownish hair that runs to his elbows. He has red eyes and wears a pair of glasses in front of them. Essentially he looks like Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss. He wears a robe-like uniform that splits down the center (see sprite) rather than the usual hakama. Physically, Rider is far less muscular than the other male espada; although he is exceptionally strong, this fact leaves him with below-average endurance.

Uniform- He wears a large, long robe with slightly over-sized sleeves over his uniform. Only for when he's walking around and not-fighting though, since it obviously would get in the way.

Personality: Over the past 5 years, Rider hasn't changed much. He's still as calm as before, but he's gotten increasingly playful, almost the point of being irresponsible at times.  Having grown somewhat hedonistic, Rider lives to enjoy life to the fullest, sleeping when he wants to sleep, playing when he wants to play, and eating when he wants to eat. A rather dubious character, it's very easy to call Rider's alliances into question. Despite his totally flaky and unreliable personality, when the safety of his comrades and Las Noches is called into question, he won't hesitate to take action, regardless of how drastic or underhanded it may be. Although Rider is rarely, if ever thrown into rage, a few situations may cause his anger to arise. When this happens, the best way to describe his personality is literal, clinical insanity.

Biography: Rider is an anomaly; two souls living in one body. The other soul that inhabits the body is actually the original soul, Rider actually coming later on.  This soul is known as Yuan; and is far more malicious than Rider, prone to excessive violence and easily annoyed. Incredibly greedy as well; he has an insatiable appetite for power. On the other hand, Rider is the opposite. Anyway, Rider has generally kept him suppressed inside, staying as the "dominant" soul of the body, that is, until about a millenia ago, when Yuan, after decades of struggle finally took control, and engaged in a massive, unrestricted rampage, causing an incredible amount of deaths, including those close to Rider. Rider struggled for control, but seeing as how Yuan took decades to gain it, and was stronger, it was certainly not an easy task, and only after a few hundred years finally regained dominance. Around this time was when the Old Espada were dethroned, which is when Rider decided to join the Arrancar Army. 

Likes: Manga, Coffee, Sleeping, having other people do work for him, eating (Mainly when it's other people's), stealing, manga/anime, video games, toying with enemies weaker than him.

Dislikes: Hypocrisy, work he deems "pointless", arrogance, lack of chivalry.

Gigai: A button up white shirt with a black closed sleeveless vest worn over it coupled with a pair of black pants.

Inventions

Jolt Dagger - Rider carries around 10 daggers with a extremely durable wires connected to them. There is a small tunnel that runs through them, with thousands of holes poked through. The daggers themselves have a hole connected to the wire, along with one at the area around the pointy tip of the knife. Rider can throw these and channel reiatsu through them, thereby giving anyone a powerful shock whenever they touch the dagger or the wire. The ends of the wires can be attached to Rider's skin, allowing him to create complex web-like attacks that can brutally shock and trap his foe.

Negacion Barrier - By using this, Rider can temporarily Phase-shift himself, allowing him to be completely invulnerable to attacks but unable to attack himself. It requires an extremely large amount of energy, so it can only be used around once every one or two battles since it needs to recharge. It is a small box-like device that latches onto an object when in contact with a button on it. The button activates this, with a two second startup.

Cero GENESIS - A massive death-ray type weapon that is mounted on Las Noches. On the five towers surrounding Las Noches, there are Cero-generating cannons that all fire at the center of the dome-roof on the main building of Las Noches. On it is a large Reiatsu Reflector, rotatable, redirecting and combining all the beams into one and firing wherever Rider pleases. Unfortunately, it damages the Reiatsu Reflector considerably, so a new one must be replaced every time Rider wishes to fire again. He has a squad of Corpse Walkers on standby at all times, though, ready to replace it. To fire it requires a 150 digit password that only Rider, knows It also requires an eye scan, which once again, only works for the mentioned above. Finally, the last clearance is a voice check in which the operator must speak 3 words issued by the computer into it, and the cannon fires. The weapon also has a self destruct option controlled by a remote on Rider.

Dimension Splitter - A massive Garganta-generating machine that can create a garganta miles upon miles wide. It can be used for both transporting large armed forces, or used to fire the Cero GENESIS at other-dimensional locations. This also requires a 150 digit password, different to that of Cero GENESIS.

Corpse Walkers- Rider's personal Fraccion army. They are biomechanical, and are identical in every way, including mask location, which covers exactly half of their face, body, appearance, height, etc. They are manufactured by Rider. They have average intelligence, but are extremely obedient, and can be issued orders simply by Rider's thought; during other times, they are capable of organizing themselves as well as creating plans based on hive-like thought patterns.. They act as an attack force, workforce, anything Rider desires. They only follow orders of Rider.

[Dymas]

Name: Dymas Pheles
Age: Unknown (thousands of years old), appears 30ish
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 167 lbs

Appearance: Dymas is a very fit man that has a friendly look on his face, but also with dark secrets behind it. He usually wears his bright red hair in a thin low ponytail, but when he undoes it he makes sure his hair is nice and spiky all the way down to his mid-back. A rather striking feature of Dymas is his eyes: he has heterochromia, but with very unusual colors (a red iris in his left eye and a yellow iris in the right). The pupils of the eyes dilate into the shape of a snake's when he is angered. His mask fragment resembles a necklace shaped like a snake's jaw and his espada tattoo is on his right palm. His hollow hole is located where the human heart would be, and he has a faded scar on his left arm that spells out 'LUCRETIA' in jagged letters. He seems to be wearing a normal white shirt coupled with the arrancar hakama, but his arrancar robes just look strange.

Gigai: Nearly identical to this picture: http://setokakashiluver.deviantart.com/art/Looking-Sharp-37187855

Likes: Relaxation, fun, blood, snakes, human culture, the occasional killing and/or torturing, his fellow arrancar.
Dislikes: Shinigami, sorrow, knowing the inevitable, some humans, devas.

Personality: Dymas is a rather kind and cheerful man with a touch of stubbornness. He seems like a friendly and somewhat plain guy at first, but this is not the case. Dymas carried a great emotional burden insider for countless years, and the insanity that burden caused never fully healed. In battle, he channels out his rage, making him ruthless and sadistic. After he finally accepted his love's death, he seemed to mellow out and finally become the person he was never able to be. Dymas is rather hotheaded and boastful of his strength, and he has a huge dislike for organizations that manipulate others.

Biography:

Dymas was one of the first Devas created by the core of the Soul Plague several millenia ago. Dymas was a "halfway-failed" experiment, for he had more free will and spirit than most of the other Devas, who were very obedient to their queen. He often left Rukon for the Soul Society above. He was fascinated by its people, and he wished to befriend them all. Unfortunately, they all viewed Dymas as a monster due to his unnatural eyes and the bad vibe he gave off. The people of Soul Society lashed out and attacked him, but he could not die, only bleed and bleed and bleed. The pain Dymas experienced was horrible (that's right, he didn't always have paingasms). He found Rukon boring, so he remained in Soul Society. He watched the people from afar while he was in the forest, wondering why they attacked him. He tried befriending the animals of the forest, but they all ran from him in fear.

One day he met a shinigami in the forest. Her name was Lucretia. She was a beautiful woman with shining green eyes and long fiery red hair. She didn't view Dymas as a monster. She was different from the rest. Dymas told her what he was, and she did not care at all. Dymas fell in love with Lucretia, and she fell in love with him. Dymas and Lucretia knew that if the other shinigami found out of their forbidden love, that Lucretia would be killed. So Lucretia always snuck out late at night to meet with Dymas.

One night, Lucretia's brother Orion, the past captain of Squad 11, saw her sneak out of their house, and he secretly followed her. He saw her meeting with the "monster" Dymas, and Orion fled back to his house and awaited Lucretia's return. It was that night that Dymas and Lucretia unofficially wed each other. They couldn't be happier. After making love to Dymas, Lucretia left.

The night after, Dymas stood in his usual spot and waited for Lucretia to arrive. She was fifteen minutes late. He heard footsteps, Dymas grinned, expecting Lucretia, but he did not ever expect what came next.

Orion walked from the shadows of the woods. Orion has a muscular tall man with thick black hair and several scars. He held Lucretia's severed head by her hair. Dymas stared, horrified, at Lucretia's head.

"Well, well, monster. It turns out my sister was meeting with you, even though it was strictly forbidden! So I'm afraid I had to kill her... here's her head, if you want it," Orion said, grinning cruelly. He tossed Lucretia's head at Dymas, who stood there in shock as it bounced off of him.

"Now to finish the job and kill you, monster!" Orion shouted as he unsheathed his zanpakuto and charged at Dymas. He cut Dymas again and again and again, but Dymas did nothing except stand there in shock. The pain was completely nulled by the shock of Lucretia's death. Orion hacked Dymas into pieces, but his chest still breathed even though nothing was attached to it!

"WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE, MONSTER!?!" Orion screamed at Dymas, who of course did not respond.

Two katars formed in Dymas's severed hands.

"MOURIR!!!" Dymas shrieked. Dymas turned into his monstorous hollow-like form, healing all of his wounds. Dymas screamed in anger and sadness throughout the rest of the fight. Orion was brutally slaughtered by Dymas. Even though Orion was dead, Dymas kept slashing at his corpse over and over again until it was nothing more than a smear of blood on the forest ground. Dymas returned into his regular form. He ran up to Lucretia's head, tears streaming down his face, and he picked it up and cradled it while whispering sweet nothings to it.

Dymas hated all shinigami from that point on. He retreated to Rukon and began doing what he was meant to do- follow Sister's orders. He was so depressed by Lucretia's death that he tried to kill himself hundreds of time. Of course, each time he tried to kill himself it failed. Dymas got so used to pain that it eventually felt pleasurable.

Despite following Sister's orders, he sometimes snuck out of Rukon to kill shinigami and/or humans. Therefore, he had somewhat experienced the zealotry and arrogant ignorance of shinigami and humans. Lucretia's death made him a sadistic evil man. Lucretia's death made Dymas jealous of all of the shinigami and humans that had happy lives. Dymas tortured his victims because he wanted them to feel the pain that he felt. Whenever he went into the human world to vent, his raids were mighty and terrible. He became known as "Dymas the Unkillable" and was feared by all.

Over the centuries, Dymas managed to bury to sorrow of Lucretia's death little by little until it did not effect his mood anymore. Dymas carries a lock of Lucretia's hair that he took from her head before he buried it, and sometimes he hallucinated that Lucretia's ghost talks to him, even though she is long dead.

Upon getting orders from Sister to assault the shinigami a few years back, he witnessed the death of the shinigami captain Demon. It reminded him of the way Lucretia was killed, and it resurfaced the buried memories of Lucretia. That is what truely made Dymas betray the Devas: doing it because Sister's orders were becoming too drastic was a lie he told himself so he would not become depressed again. He respected most of the shinigami of the present day that have been wounded by Demon's death, because Dymas knowed that they have felt something similar to what he has felt. However, Dymas thought that no amount of sorrow compares to what he felt when Lucretia died.

After betraying the Devas, he allied with the shinigami, thinking that they would have changed since back then. Although there were some good shinigami, most of them were still horrible and could not understand him. Dymas left the shinigami in the disgust and searched for acceptance. After being attacked by a hollow, he followed the portal it fled through and found the arrancar, eventually becoming the ninth espada and soon the eighth. The hallucinations of Lucretia stopped appearing shortly after his arrancarfication, causing Dymas to dive into insanity and flee from Las Noches for a while in search of a purpose. After all, Demon was alive as Kateros, so there went his whole reason for siding against the Devas. Lucretia had officially left him, so the delusional comfort her hallucination gave him was gone as well.

In his mad search, he decided to look for a purpose in the Human World since nothing was in Hueco Mundo. He continued his search for a purpose and encountered the head of the vizards at the time, Mizu. A speech from him filled Dymas with anger and determination, allowing him to fully accept Lucretia's death. After the fight, he fell asleep, seeing images of Lucretia bading farewell to him. Dymas accepted her death. He awoke and, not knowing how to form a return garganta, closed his eyes and searched across the world for strong spiritual pressures. He sensed the Rogues and boarded a plane to Europe. He searched around until he collapsed from exhaustion. Mephis, one of the rogues, found him and brought him to the Rogue's base. Once he awoke, he recognized Zerius, their leader. They talked for a while as Dymas stayed the night at the castle before he would leave the next day.

In the night, he was awoken by Mephis, who told him to meet with him outside. Mephis revealed that Dymas killed Orion, who was apparently Mephis's to kill. Mephis said that the torch had been passed, and to fufill a promise, Dymas must die. Dymas briefly remembered fighting him back in the past, but he could be stronger now. During the fight, two startling revelations were revealed to Dymas: that part of Mephis has been torn like him, so there are others that have felt his pain; and that Mephis is, in fact, Dymas's brother. Dymas's zanpakuto ws broken in the battle, and Dymas barely escaped alive and gargantas to Las Noches using desperation, leaving Mephis behind.

Upon his return, he prepared for an attack by Mephis, but it never happened. He was given a new zanpakuto and slowly rose up the ranks to Sixth Espada, much to his shock. He spent most of his time training in the arrancar techniques, which were still foreign to him, until he mastered them. Lucretia was now finally resting in peace with Dymas's emotional pain from her loss fully gone.

Kido: None, of course.

Special Abilities: Besides the normal arrancar abilties, Dymas enjoys pain. A lot. So rather than slowing him down, weakening him, and generally hindering his combat performance, it will actually make him quicker, stronger, and more powerful overall. His wounds are self healing, but blood loss will take its toll on him. Also, Dymas seems to have a sixth sense of sorts. He could tell Kateros was Demon just by looking at her eyes. Also, he can see things nobody else can see (although the fact that this has faded after the acceptance of Lucretia's death tells him it was crazy vision) and he can sense things easier than the normal person. He also seems to have some minor clairvoyance and premonition powers, but he has absolutely no control over them up to the point where they haven't happened for quite some time. He's perfectly fine with that.

[Sol]

Character Name: Commander Sol (formerly Shanks Wolfen)
 
Age: Looks to be around 20, is actually 502
 
Height: 6'
 
Weight: 173
 
Appearance: After five years, Shanks' overall appearance, health wise, seems to have improved vastly.  Whereas five years ago, the signs of alcohol abuse and general poor self care showed rather greatly, Shanks has greatly cleaned up his health.  He also appears slightly more youthful, thanks to his healthier habits.  The most easily noticeable change is his hair.  Whereas before, when his hair easily came down to his back, he has it cut much shorter in comparison, hanging loosely around his head but no further.  Mysteriously, whereas before he rather characteristically was missing an eye, he now has both of them.  If asked how he got it back, he'll simply make up a random story on the spot.  For his uniform, Sol typically wears a pair of jeans, made to be comfortable and above all durable to put up with combat and the desert climate, with a simple T-shirt, usually plain black or white.  He usually is wearing a denim jacket with a fur collar on it, and a pair of desert boots to handle the terrain.  He has the emblem for his mercenary group on his jacket in a few places.
 
Mask remnants: His mask remnants come in the form of a wolf like mask over his heart.
 
Gigai: Sol rarely uses a Gigai.  When he does, it's essentially the same as his appearance.
 
Hollow hole: Sol's hollow hole is somewhat small and just below his shoulder
 
Personality: Five years has served to temper some of Shanks' personality traits while bolstering others.  While he's not quite such a slave to his vices, his language has taken a turn for the profane.  Less of a fan for the dramatic then he used to be, he generally acts more down to earth.  For this reason, his moods are less extreme, instead having a more normal range of emotion.  He still can get his rage on, however, and won't hesitate to get incredibly harsh if the situation demands it.  While he cares for the members of his group, he won't hesitate to show some discipline if they're out of line.  Also, while he could never forget all the people he cared about in the past, Sol hasn't seen any of them in five years and generally feels a little distant from them until he gets a little back in touch with them.
 
Likes: Reading (mostly Historical books), Dante, Meat, the desert, the sun
 
Dislikes: Losing, Vizard, assholery, swimming.
 
Biography (optional): After a long run as First Espada, Shanks retired.  He bummed around for a while and then shortly following the events of the Hell Arc, he disappeared for a long time.  After a while, it was safe to assume he was dead, as many probably still do.  However, he showed up again after five years, having formed his own mercenary group, the (>____> YET TO BE NAMED).  Gathering some decently powerful members, he'd begun taking odd jobs around the human world after forming a base in the Sahara desert.  He preferred the location because it was far away from human cities and because the desert reminds him of Hueco Mundo, except with a sun.  However, after establishing a presence there, he's decided that it's time to reconnect with the spiritual world and make contact with Hueco Mundo and Soul Society
 
Zanpakuto: ? ? ?

Equipment: Sol uses a newer version of the Reiatsu Buster, dubbed the Mk. VI.  The sword is much smaller then the Mk. V, about the size of a normal longsword.  Also, as opposed to the Mk. V which vented Reiatsu to increase smashing power, the Mk. VI infuses the edge with Reiatsu and resonates it to give the blade cutting power equal to the Mk. V, but in a much smaller form.

Alive: Born in Japan on March 20th, 1708. His birth name was Riku Nakata. His family was abusive and forced him into hard labor at a very young age. His father would come home drunk most every night and savagely beat him. During one of his drunken rampages he had killed him.

In death: Wandering as a lost spirit he felt confusion and anger for his father. He sought revenge though there was nothing he could do. Many times he would encounter large creatures, terrified he would run and hide from them and hope they could not find him. Men in black outfits would show up and slay the monstrosities. While out and about in the night he was ambushed by a group if what he heard the people in the black outfits call them "Hollows" he was cornered and his soul was devoured.

Hollow: He awoke later in a desert that stretched farther than the eye could see. He had no idea how much time had passed since he saw those horrible creatures. He felt different but couldn't understand what, his memories were a bit hazy, and all he knew was that he wasn't human any longer. Instead of legs he had a long tail. Instead of his human face he had what seemed to be a snake's head. His arms now covered in scales and a hole in his chest. What little shred of consciousness remained was soon devoured by the beast within... He must feed...


Kido (if any): None as an Arrancar.


Special abilities (if any): Not only does his small size allow him to move through a battle with ease he is exceptionally well with the use of Pesquisa. He can sense even the slightest spiritual pressure from miles away. He never practiced with Cero much so they tend to shoot off course or aren't controlled blasts.

Biography : Ryusei was the son of a single woman and a leader of a group of marauders. While his mother was in her twenties, her village was attacked and plundered by bandits. His mother was raped by the head bandit, and she became pregnant with Ryu. She was taken along with the bandit’s group, and was forced to stay with them. Once Ryusei was born, the raiders killed his mother. He was then raised by their leader, and taught how to fight at a young age with a spade stolen from a group of monks.

As he grew older, he participated in many raids on villages, killing many and orphaning others. Ryusei had no problems with his life of pillaging until the night after his hundredth raid. Before, he had only killed adult civilians, soldiers and the occasional noble, but never killed a child, having been told only to capture them. As the raid finished, Ryu’s father showed him something he hadn’t yet seen. In an area of the camp he hadn’t been allowed to enter, there was a small arena with a pair of children in it. Each had a dagger, and furiously tore at each other. Soon, one managed to take the other child down with a strike to the temple. The victor was escorted out through one of the gates by a pair of bandits, while the loser’s body was tossed into the gorge the arena was built next to.

All while the fight had occurred, Ryu’s father explained that all the able-bodied children captured during the raids were sent to the wooden arena, and forced to fight to the death. The winners would later become the ones who make up the ranks of the raiders. The revelation horrified Ryusei, and for the next few days, he received no sleep, and thought only of the countless dead children. After another sleepless night, Ryusei decided to try to end the abuse of the children, and discreetly formulated a plan. During the cover of night, Ryu left the camp and went out to other similar groups. He used the greed of the other bandits to convince them to assault his father’s own village, in the hopes of destroying it entirely. He set the date for the night of one of the camp’s annual raids, in order to have a better chance of victory.

The night of the attack soon came, and a majority of the bandits had left. The other groups then stormed the camp, quickly destroying much of the village and the small defense left there. While the battle was raging in the town, Ryu slipped by the small patrol left at the arena, and freed all the remaining children. After ensuring their escape, Ryusei headed back to the site of the battle and found that the rest of the enemies’ force had returned, his father expecting  the rebellion led by his son. The groups Ryusei had led were annihilated, and he was captured. He was forced in front of the remainder of the village, and beaten by its people and his former comrades. After, he was sent back to the arena, and forced to fight one of the children who had been recaptured. Unwilling to kill the child, Ryu allowed the child to stab him, and the last thing he saw the victorious smirk of his father.

Kido (if any): None.

Special abilities (if any): He is ambidextrious and is highly experienced in hand-to-hand combat.

[Raeshon]

Character Name: Raeshon (Ray-shoun)

Age (how old you look, and then your actual age): Early 20's, 547.

Height: 6'

Weight: 169 lbs

Appearance: Long black hair, that reaches to his upper back, and is parted down the middle. Has a thick goatee. Unusually green eyes, that are always very glazed-over. Fairly well built. Lightly tanned skin. Mask remnant is connected to his right ear, and looks like a very large earring.

Wears his zanpakuto on his right hip. Hollow hole is in the left side of his upper-torso.

Scars: A single large gash on his stomach.

-A dug-in shackle mark on his left wrist, along with a chain mark wrapping around his lower left arm.

-A full claw scar on his right leg.

Gigai:

Personality: Extremely lazy, with a capital extreme. Has a bad habit of sleeping in random places, including on the floor. Dislikes fighting unless given a direct order to do so as it usually requires a lot of effort on his part, however has no qualms about doing what needs to be done. Usually appears uninterested in everything.

Likes: Sleeping, napping, lemonade, resting, doing nothing, eating...and sleeping.

Dislikes: Not sleeping, babies...more of a fear than dislike, doing something that clashes with his busy schedule of doing nothing.

Biography (optional): Knows nothing of his human life, and remembers little of his hollow days. Around 350 years ago, met the previous Espada, and was made into an Arrancar. However, because of his lazy nature and unwillingness to fight, was thrown out by one of the more cruel Espada and forced to walk the desert, chained and shackled to a heavy object, resulting in a bad scar on his left arm, which he covers up with a glove. For well over 100 years he walked, along the way he picked up several other Arrancar throwaways, and together they traveled...

One day however, one of the Arrancar loyal to the previous Espada sought him out, with orders to either recruit him or kill him. Rae refused to rejoin, even after the Arrancar threatened to kill his friends. In the end they made a deal, Rae's friends were to run as far as they could, while he and the Arrancar fought. The moment his shackles hit the ground, the fight was on. Rae held his own as best he could, but initially he was outclassed, resulting in a gash on his stomach, and a claw gash on his right leg. It was only when he released that he started doing damage. In the end, Rae won, but at a price: as he delivered the killing blow, the Arrancar delivered a nasty blow to his head.

When he awoke, his memory was heavily affected. All he remembered was his name, and snippets of his time before walking the desert. And so he walked...for another 100+ years, simply surviving, always feeling like he had forgotten something in the sands of time...

Special abilities (if any): Although he appears very slow and lazy, he is actually very quick and responsive.

[16Gio26]

Character Name: Nicolas Machiavelli

Age (how old you look, and then your actual age): 36/790

Height: 6'1

Weight: 180 lbs

Appearance: Fairly tall and rather thin, pale skin, light brown eyes and long black hair which goes down to his mid-back. The remnants of his hollow mask have reshaped to look like wristband-type pieces with tribal designs but instead of his wrist they have formed as one large band strapped to his neck in a spiral form that goes down to his shoulders simulating the form of a Maxilla (upper jawbone).

New Clothing Piece: Due to a change in heart and personality, the once private and conservative Arrancar decided he was fed up with his old persona and wished for a change. On the Russian invasion by the Espada, Nicolas acted out his plan. Shedding his excess accessories, coats, jacket and hat, he revealed one of two clothing pieces he now formally wears.

1. Primary Piece: Shedding his former self, Nicolas now wears a simple Grey shirt which extends at the end into a short frontal and backward skirt/drape. However it is adorned by an intricate blue vest with golden strap locks instead of buttons. It also has shoulder pieces sown in so it looks like a proper shirt, all the borders of said piece are adorned by a thin golden lining. Meanwhile his bottom portion isn't as intricate, simply wearing back colored pants. The ending portion of his shirt though, he'll usually wrap around different colored scarfs around it. (His clothing is almost all of this except the accessories and different types of color shading)

2. Combat Piece: For whenever he goes into combat he has kept his old black skin suit. He'll usually tie up his hair into various types of ponytails and then strap his zanpakuto to his left side or his back. (Almost exactly like this but instead of those colors, it has a darker shade of purple and all the rest being jet black.)

3. Old Clothing Piece: Up until recently Nicolas has always wanted to hide his true form from the rest. In order to do this he modified his Espada uniform, inverting the colors from white to black as well as adding extra layers to it (using an old black skin suit underneath) so he could use the upper half as an open jacket. Nicolas also adorns his outfit with his signature black hat as well as keeping his Zanpakuto on his back, tilting to his left shoulder. (Like This)


Hollow Hole and Number: His Hollow hole is located in his lower abdomen. Meanwhile with him being a Privaron, his number has been altered from a stylized 10 to a scratched "107". It is located on his chest near the heart.

Aura and Cero Color: Sepia

Personality: A reserved person, Nicolas usually likes to read an old manuscript and if not he is  meditating or taking walks by himself most of the time. He doesn't like the company of others so he prefers to spend his time alone, however when he does come in contact with others what little words he speaks are usually casual things such as missions, books or information about Hueco Mundo, etc... Deep down inside he is a passionate and caring person, however he has no friends left so he's shut himself to others. Being one of the few Espada that survived the ancient slaughter, Nicolas has taken the time to meditate and reflect on the nature of Hollows and other beings and is usually in favor of the weak, seeing himself as a protector of the defenseless.

Likes: Reading, Meditation, Classical music, Maps, Walking, Quartz, the former Espada, the weak Hollows of Hueco Mundo.

Dislikes: Loud, Rude and Ignorant people, secular music, some of the current Espada, Soul Reapers and Daemon.

Biography:

At some point in his life Nicolas being of the older generation of Espada, he was given the position of 10th Espada. He wasn't known for his strength but his kindness for others as a young hollow, he was really good friends with the former first and second Espada and was viewed by the first as a younger brother, Nicolas in return saw him as a mentor and older brother, following his actions as if they were religious teachings and for that he quickly grew on the rest of the Espada. As he got older and became strong enough to evolve into an Arrancar, he was awarded the spot of decima espada when the 10th of the time died. It was then when Nicolas matured into the man he is now with his silent and strict manners, he strongly believed in his comrades since they were the family he never knew. While he was a strong, he still lacked the wisdom that was required, so the others felt that he should remain the 10th, although he was more than qualified for the seventh position.

When the overture occurred and the former Espada were slain, Nicolas was left in shock. Trying to defend Las Noches he failed miserably and was ready to take his own life, however he saw that his "brother" was in his last breathes, so he stayed by his side. The first wished for Nicolas to grow into an even greater man than him, he wanted his younger brother to keep living for them, so he could grow spiritually and physically, to see the beauty of life and it's many wonders but most importantly to continue defending the weak. In his last breath he told Nicolas of his manuscript which was handed down to him by the previous first, as he passed on he used what little time he had left to explain where the book was and what Nicolas should do. After the dust settle a new breed of Espada had taken command of Las Noches and Nicolas bowed to them in hopes of following his brother's wishes even if he resented the idea to serve as a newly appointed "Privaron".

On an unrelated note, there is a little more to tell with Nicolas. After he was named a "Privaron" he was still able to visit the lands of Hueco Mundo, in one of this meetings he had the fortune of encountering a female Hollow, eventually the two of them became best of friends as they got involved romantically their journey together was cut short when her foolhardiness got in the way. On a not so regular day, the female hollow challenged the Espada thinking she had the upper hand she foolishly ignored the advice Nicolas gave her and was slain by the first. Nicolas was mortified, it was the last reminiscence of his former life as an Espada, she meant the world to him because it was through her that Nicolas was able to let go of his past and continue living after the massacre of his comrades. On her dying breath, she swore an oath to Nicolas that she would do whatever it took her to come back to him, even if it meant reincarnating to the Human World. It was thanks to this promise that Nicolas understood the contents of the manuscript left to him. To this day the Privaron still carries with him the scarf she used, he keeps it safely tied to his waist.

Special abilities: As was said, Nicolas enjoys walking and it is no surprise that he basically knows all the layouts of Hueco Mundo and Las Noches. He is also an excellent cartographer and it was thanks to him that Las Noches has such an excellent infrastructure, utilizing his skills the former group of Espada where able to firmly establish the large structure.
