~ My Arrancar and Zanpakutō ~
Name - Gracyn Alacrán
Rank - Espada Number II
Fraccíon - Kazuhiro "Kazu-kun" or "Kaz" Setsu, Arrone Uryuka, Ren Shinotsu, Sakura Sukinero
Gender - Male
Age - He doesn't really know. Approximately 200 years of age, appears in his late teens/early twenties
Height - 5,10"
Weight - 125 lbs.
Body Type - Gracyn's physical appearance is somewhat small in terms of muscles. His body is slim and slander, somewhat lanky.
Hollow Mask Remnants - The remains of his forms a sort of necklace around his neck, dipping in a V to in between his pecks. In the back, it stays up around his neck and the sides fan out and form shoulder pauldrons.
Hollow Hole - Gracyn's hollow hole is located a few inches about the pout of the "V" in his hollow mask remnants.
Appearance - Gracyn has a somewhat angelic appearance: soft facial features with slightly feminine qualities and slightly paled skin. His hair is a faded golden color and neck length with his bangs swooping gently over his left eye, but some parts spike down and are somewhat in his eyes, but it doesn't seem to affect his vision whatsoever. He has slightly bigger eyes than the normal, which are colored a deep ocean blue, and his pupils change at times from being regular black spheres to slits like a cat's eyes. His canine teeth are slightly larger than average and more sharp, like fangs. For clothes, he wears the normal styled Espada uniform. On top, he wears a short sleeved half jacket (Something like Sora's from Kingdom Hearts) with white coloring and thick black borders near the zipper and bottom of the jacket, as well as the ends of the sleeves. Underneath that, he wears a plain white sleeveless shirt with no black borders and a slight dip in the neckline, exposing a little bit of his hollow mask remnants. He wears the regular white Espada hakama with the black obi, with his Zanpakutō secured in it.
Personality - Unlike most Arrancar, Gracyn seems to have a sense of humor, slightly smiling whenever he finds something funny or intriguing, sometimes even laughing. He is very laid back most of the time, preferring not to take much anything too seriously. He is very loyal and is good with obeying orders, but he often finds himself straying from them if he finds something interesting or if he is curious. Despite him being laid back, he has a high sense of honor and respect, oftenmost going out of his way to avoid disrespecting or dishonoring someone. However, when in battle or in situations that require his full attention, he becomes quite serious and analytical, speaking with a little more of an authoritative and slightly deeper tone, and he often becomes somewhat cold and harsh. Because of his emense power, he is highly respected throughout all of the Espadas, even more so from his Fraccíon, and he acts accordingly at times. He had a somewhat brotherly bond with Kazuhiro, giving him the nickname "Kazu-kun".
Biograpghy - He has little to no memories prior to becoming an Arrancar. The only ones he can remember are of him and his subordinate, Kazuhiro. Because of this, his bond with Kaz is much stronger than his bond with any other members of the Espada. Gracyn prefers to keep Kaz by his side at all times, even forsaking the help of his other subordinates.
Zanpakutō -
Name - Sasori
Appearance - Sasori takes the form of a nodachi, a [field] katana with a blade longer than 28.7 inches. It's blade length is precisely thirty-six inches with a twelve inch handle to accommodate two hand usage, with an overall length of forty-eight inches. It has a silver colored rectangular tsuba with the corners split horizontally in the middle, pointing slightly up and slightly down, coming to two points on each corner. It has two lines crisscrossing vertically and horizontally, making a sort of plus sign on the guard. The hilt's wrappings are forest green with a silver underlay color, with a silver pommel on the end with decorative markings on it. Sasori's sheath's color is silver but with a slight green tint, looking somewhat like mint green. He has a light blue ribbon tied to the top of his sheath.
Release Command - "Sasu koto! Sasori!"
- In English, "Sting! Scorpion!"
When Gracyn releases Sasori, he becomes inveloped dark green reiatsu outlined in light green, which encase him and flicker like flames. Then, the flames start to flicker in the wind and fade away to reveal Gracyn's Resurreción.
Resurreción Form - In this form, Gracyn's jacket disappears and in it's place, his hollow mask has changed and grown on top of his under shirt. The shoulders extend up into spikes and the bone like armor goes all the way down his arm, giving him a kind of gauntlet, with the fingers clawed. The "V" in the mask has grown into a type of breast plate that only covers the middle of his torso and up, except for his hollow hole. Even though you can only see his feet, his legs are armored with the bone like substance from mid-thigh down, with his toes pointing into claws like the fingers. In the back, he has grown an armored tail like his arms and legs, extending out about teen feet and ending in a five foot long, blade like stinger, with two spikes near the base, resembling the guard of a sword. For a weapon, the stinger and be removed from his tail to be used as a sword, and another stinger grows back in it's place. Along the edge of the stinger, it had tons of tiny like spikes, making painful to tear from flesh. At the tip of the stinger, it had a small hole for releasing poison. He fires Cero's from the tip of his tail in this form
Resurrección Abilities -
Ability Number One - Gracyn stabs the enemy with his stinger. When stabbed, the stinger sticks into the target, severing itself from the tail. When it pierces flesh, a slow acting poison is released into the blood stream. This poison slowly start to make the enemy feel like his limbs and muscles are slowly getting heavier and harder to move, as well as slightly blurring the vision and decreasing reaction time. Depending on how long the stinger remains in the body can determine how much poison is on the blood stream. The more poison, the faster and takes effect and the worse the effects are. If taken out right away, this ability will have very little to no effect.
*** For the poison effect to work, the tip of the stinger needs to puncture the flesh at least two inches deep.
Sorry if this ability isn't exactly effective, in your words, mrman906. I wanted to stay as true as possible to the overall idea I had to make this Zanpakutō based off a scorpion's qualities. The pincers, the armored bodies, the tail, the stinger, the poison, etc..
The poison only works three times for every time he enters his Resurreción, after that this ability is less useful and all it does it just stab the target with a stinger with no poison. The time that it takes for this poison to reach it's maximum effect is around fifteen minutes. He also carries a less powerful version of this poison in his claws and fangs, which is released into the blood stream whenever he cuts them with any of his claws. This is a far weaker form of his stinger's poison, however, and not very effective at all unless it builds up from multiple claw wounds. This method of poisoning takes an hour to reach full effect and doesn't have the limited number of uses as the tails poison.
Ability Number Two - "Doku no Ame"
"Poison Rain"
Gracyn fires a steady jet of poison from the stinger. The poison acts as an acid, slowly eating away whatever it lands on. Very slowly. It starts with whatever clothing the target may be wearing. It could take about five minutes to reach skin, and it slowly starts burning the flesh away. However, it has the consistency of water and is somewhat easy to remove before it causes any real damage.
*** The poison shoots out of his tail somewhat like a jet of water (I'd compare this to a water hose with one of those nozzles on it that sprays a thin, steady stream, but about as strong as a fire hose, if that makes sense) that he can shoot about a hundred feet at maximum distance. Altogether, he can spray about ten seconds of poison before it is completely depleted, so about every three seconds counts as one of the three times he can use it.
Like the stinger, this ability can only be used three time per Resurreción. To affect more than one target, he shoots the poison straight up into the air, causing it to rain down on a small area.
Resurreción Ability Three - "Enerugī-zashi Kizu"
"Energy Stinger"
Gracyn charges reiatsu into his tail and to the stinger (It takes about three seconds to charge to his stinger). The stinger then begins to glow with the deep green color of Gracyn's reiatsu. He can then fire off this energy like an arrow, piercing the target. This seems to have an effect as one Uryu Ishida's Quincy arrows, only slightly stronger. He can charge this ability up, where the stinger grows even more fiercely with his reiatsu, and can fire it with more power and speed. The arrow also has a greater mass, making it easier to land a hit on the enemy.
*** The speed that the normal arrows go is about eighty mph, and this biggest arrow goes around seventy. The other speeds for the arrows' charged size fit in between these two numbers. The overall mass that these arrows can accumulate is around one foot in circumference, and is five feet long in length. The bigger the arrow, the slower it goes, but it's speed isn't very greatly taxed by this.
Also, he can charge it to the point where he could release it into one powerful arrow but instead fire of fractions of the reiatsu for a rapid fire effect.
Gracyn has also achieved a Segunda Etapa release form, the second stage of Resurreción.
Gracyn's releases his reiatsu and calls out, "Resurreción, Segunda Etapa.". He then start to change into the Nee form.
Segunda Etapa - In this form, Gracyn undergoes even more developments to his body, as well as his abilities. From just below his elbows down, he gains a set of scorpion like pincers which extend about six inches out past where the tips of his fingers would normally be. Where his arm is, there is a hollowed out spot in the pincer so his arm doesn't get crunched, and when he opens his pincer his arm is revealed. Also, all of his Espada clothing has disappeared and in their place is a full seat of the bone like armor, covering all of his body except for his stomach area and his head. He had spikes where his elbows and kneecaps are, and his feet now only consist of four toes in the front and a claw like growth on his heel, somewhat resembling a scorpion's legs, but they're as long as his fingers. His head has now acquired a sort of visor just above his forehead. His hollow hold has also grown slightly in size. He still fires Cero's from his tale in this form.
*** All of his armor does indeed help with his defensive capabilities. I'd compare the effect to plate mail armor, however the bone like armor is about ten percent stronger than plate mail in it's defense capabilites.
He still retains all of his abilities, but they're more stronger than they were before.
*** All of his abilities are stronger by around x5 of their old strength, however the poisonous effect only doubles in the speed that it takes to have it's full effect.
He gains a few more abilities as well.
Segunda Etapa Abilities -
Ability Number One - "Sasori-za Hanmā"
"Scorpio Hammer"
With this new ability, he clenches his pincers shut and condenses his reiatsu into them. They now glow with his reiatsu and act as an augment. Whenever he hits someone with the claw, it hits them hard enough to send them flying back a couple hundred feet if they aren't prepared.
*** This ability ONLY augments his attacks with his pincers. The strength of his pincers is closely comparable to the effect a war hammer has, even more so when he pumps his reiatsu into them.
Ability Number Two - "Sasori no San Jū"
"Scorpion's Tri-Gun"
By far his strongest. He pumps his reiatsu into both his tail and his pincers. He then condenses it and fires them simultaneously. This move has the same principles as his Enerugi-zashi Kizu moves, it can charge to become even stronger or release it in rapier fire bursts of energy. However, if charge long enough (approximately thirty seconds) he can fire it in beams, like his Cero, only much stronger. This ability rivals the power of his Cero Oscuras, if not stronger, and is much more potent. He can only use the move once every Resurreción, but he is still able to fire it in bursts or charge it into three strong shots of reiatsu, just not the Cero like reiastsu beams.
*** I'd compare the strength of this move to be on par with Ulquiorra Cifer's Segunda Etapa release's Cero Oscuras.
I hope this fixed some of the questions you had about my Zanpakutō! :D If you find any more, please, let me know! :o Thank you. (;
