Shiroijin Dante-Arrancar Leader

Name: Shiroijin Dante

Gender: Male

Age: ???

Height: 6'1"

Race: Arrancar #1

Rank: Leader

Looks: Dante appears as a an averaged sized human, with bright red eyes and short silver hair. He has light brown skin. His face usually has an amused expresion upon it, masking the empty coldness within his eyes. The remains of his mask is a pair of white streaks stretching down from his ears to the sides of his chin. He wears a simplified version of the Arrancar outfit, going with a tight white tunic and pants. He wears a black robe around his waist, and carries his Zanpaktou on his hip gunslinger style. His Hollow hole has been moved and cut in half, the two smaller holes being infact the Pupils of his eyes. On his left hand, he wearing a slim silver ring on his index finger, and a silver chain on his right hip, opposite of his Zanpaktou. His number, 1, is tattooed upon the left side of his neck.

Personality: Dante is a strange individual, enjoying the suffering and skirmishes between his own kind, and even encouraging them. It is said that most Arrancar contain at least Semi-Human feelings, a side effect of unmasking. Dante has no such weakness, his mind as cold as his eyes. He is cunning, despite his slim appearance, and his underestimated foes have long since died. He enjoys making others suffer, but not through simple torture or punishment. No, Dante enjoys a much more satisfying art, Deception, manipulation, and demoralizing his enemies, and even his allies, with his subtle skills and abilities. However, Dante also has a suprising level of intelligence, not destroying or causing pain when it would better benefit him otherwise. He also keeps his fellow Arrancar memebers loyalty with a somewhat strange manner, his power alone keeping most down, of course. But intimidation is not important as idealization. If those who follow you believe you with all their heart...or, since Hollows lack one, Soul, then their loyalty will never be questioned.

Likes: Card Games, Warfare, Manipulation, and Earl Grey Tea.

Dislikes: Shinigamis, Lesser Hollows, Mint, and Heroics.

Crushes: None.

History: Dante's history is sketchy, at best, his known past never going in deph. It is said that he was once a Shinigami, who was captured on earth and brought to Hueco Mundo. Because of his Souls strength, he turned into a Hollow, rather then simply eaten. Even then, he was different, his body more Human then most Hollows, and smaller as well. His powers, because of his Shinigami past, were already menos level, and rather then advance like normal Hollows did, his body became more and more Human. Eventurally, all that remained was the Mask, that was said to have been broken by Dante simply grabbing it, and taking it off, with nearly no effort involved, as if it could have been taken off at any time. Casting it away, Dante's rule as an Arrancar began. Not ever being a Menos, others were unsure in how to rank his powers. Dante quickly proved his strength was well higher then that of except the strongest Vasto Lordes. It was no surprise when he joined the Espada. Assigned the modest rank of 9, he quickly killed those higher then him, striking down the first, his rank 8 levels higher. And now, years later, Dante, Leader of the Espada, Plans the downfall of the Shinigami once and for all.

Name of zanpakuto: Entornada
Length: 38 cm

Hilt: The guard is a western-style cross, silver in color, with the handle a light grey color. A red gem is imbeded on the end.

Sheath: The sheathe, like the blade, is shorter then usual, and is white with grey on the sides. It is worn gunslinger style on his hip. A small, golden ring is located on the upper part of the front of the sheathe.

Appearance: Unusual for a Zanpaktou, the blade is actually shorter and thinner then usual, giving it a long dagger-like appearance. The blade, despite it's size, is capable of blocking even Zanbatos, and because of it's weight, is far faster.

Special: Dante's blade has a single special power that can be performed without using his Reassureccion. Similar to a Shinigami's Zanpaktou, and as if mocking one, Dante's sword is able to perform a special feat with it once per month.(Real Time.) By stabbing a Hollow's mask with his Zanpaktou, he is able to forcibily make it take off it's mask, and transform it into an Arrancar. This power will change a Hollow, to an Arrancar of matching Level. (Hollow-Numero, Menos-Privaron, Adjuchas/Vaste Lorde to Espada.) This power is also able to, when striking the Mask of a Vizard, disable a Vizard's inner Hollow for the duration of the battle.

Reasurreccion

Name: Cut the Sky, Entornada! (Entornada, Literately, "Half-Closed Moon")

Form: 1

Appearance: When first Activated, Dante' body changes to that of an Appearance of Devil. His mask remains have altered themselves into a Crescent like shape, half of a moon pointing backward, almost like horns. The streaks have gone further down to his neck, connecting to a white plate upon his chest. A pair of white wings are connected on his back, Skeletal in apperance. His feet has turned into Talons, and his hands have been covered by a pair of Scimitar-like blades. Finally, his eyes have turned bright yellow.

Effect: Dante's release gives him several new abilities. First, and most obvious, is the ability to fly, granted from his wings. This takes no SE, nor does it require much effort. With his wings, he is able to perform lightning fast manuevers and dodges. The twin scimitars he uses on his hands allow him to strike with fury, easily cutting through flesh and bone. He is also able to create powerful blades of wind, known as Teiken, or Air Blades, which, because its made of air, is nearly impossible to see. They are also difficult to block, passing through most materials, and because of the speed at fired, are difficult to dodge. He is also able to focus more SE to create an even larger blade, which is faster and even more devastating the original. He has named this Soukon Teiken, or Scarred Air Blade. His second Special Attack is Kazekiucki, or Wind Sphere, in which Dante rotates at high speeds, creating a whirlwind effect, and forming a sphere around him. This sphere can be used defensively, blocking attacks, or for offense, spinning himself at his opponents and cutting them to shreds. His last attack is known as Garandou, or Void. This is his ultimate technique in which he moves at such a rate around the opponent in circular motion that he begins to unravel gravity itself. The opponent will be surrounded by a gigantic Sphere made of deadly winds, which there is no escape. Because it is a void, there is no gravity. This makes Dante, who has wings, the advantage, being unhindered in the new enviroment, while his enemies are. Because of the raging winds, it is impossible to leave, death to even those with the greatest speed. Finally, because the field is a Void, there is no air, and thus, none but Dante can breathe. This is because's Dante's lungs have been convered during his transformation, allowing him to breathe on Spiritual Energy alone. Few enemies can stand long within in this Void.

Spirit Energy Cost: User Gains 70 SE
Teiken-Costs 5 SE per Strike, 10 when using Soukon.
Kazekiucki-Costs 7 SE Per turn
Garandou-Costs 20 SE+2 per Turn.

History: Dante original form was that of a smaller, Humanoid Hollow, with a Crescent moon shaped mask upon his face. He had large, rending claws and dark black skin. This was his form, until he slowly became more and more human. His transformation contradicts much this, from becoming a dark hollow, to a brilliant white winged figure. Dante first reobtained this form when he attempted to remove all of his mask, without re-becoming a Hollow. He believed, that, like Shinigamis, that there was a further release, in which he could become the ultimate warrior. Instead, he obtained his Zanpaktou. With it, he could transform. Few have seen this form, for Dante prefers to use his normal form, as opposed to his Reassureccion.

Dante's command, Cut the Sky, refers to his wind powers, and ability to cut reality itself. His mask, a crescent moon, is the only key connection to his original Hollow Form. The wings represent his mastery of Air. His eyes, becoming yellow, siginfy his transformation to a raptor, a bird of prey. This reflects Dante in his keen sight, and will to accomplish whatever he desires, devouring those who stand in his way.

Cero: Ceros is a High Powered Energy Blast that can be fired from either the mouth or hand. Only Menos, Arrancar, and Vizards are capable of using Cero attacks, and it the stronger the user, the more powerful the Blast.
SE Cost:7

Gran Rey Cero: This technique is a high powered version of Cero that only Arrancars, usually Espada, are capable using. The power of this technique is so powerful, it can warp the space around the point it was fired from.
SE:10

Bala: Bala is a weaker but quicker alternative to regular cero blasts. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it at around twenty times the speed of a cero. Weaker the Cero, but much faster. This technique can only be used by Vizards and Arrancar.
SE Cost:7

Garganta: Garganta is how arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway. When used, the technique opens the dimensional fabric like a door. This technique can also be used by Vizards and some Shinigami.
SE Cost:N/A

Negación: Negacion fields are used to rescue fellow hollows. Only the gillian-class menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the menos that created the field. Espada have a special cube-shaped device called Caja Negación meant to simulate negación fields, which are used to punish their subordinates if necessary. The cube, when used on a subject, traps them in an alternate dimension from which there is no escape; however, this assumes it's being used as intended. More powerful arrancar, namely the Espada themselves, can escape given enough time.
SE Cost:9

Sonido: Sonido is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami flash steps; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of sonido is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for flash steps.
