Arrancar
Name: Vilmente Vendados (though he sometimes prefers going by 'Vil', due to his belief that some people of lesser intelligence may not be able to pronounce his name correctly)
Age: Appearance age is difficult to decipher, estimate at about 30's - 40's, actually 2351 years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 70.7 kg (156 lbs)
Height: 173 cm (5'8'')
Rank: Segunda Espada (2nd)
Description: Vilmente, put quite simply, is covered in bandages. Scarred many centuries ago, in a battle now long forgotten, Vilmente carries the ever-prevalent scars on his body as a reminder of his age. The only places of his body that are not covered by these layers of bandages are his eyes and his chest. Vilmente's mask fragment covers his left eye, and follows the width of his skull to the back of his head, ending near the top of the spine, which he keeps relatively bandaged. His right eye is more exposed, and always appears to have a 'bloodshot' likeness to it. His eye color is dark blue, and his arrancar ranking number can be seen on the palm of his right hand as the number '2'. Besides the bulk of his body being wrapped in bandages, he keeps his chest relatively free of the things, revealing his hollow hole, located just below his rib cage (the stomach, some might say). Despite what one may assume from his seemingly fragile demeanor, Vilmente is quite muscular and physically fit, as his training for many centuries has supplemented this fact. (Vilmente wears an Espada uniform similar to that of Grimmjow's...just with bandages...)
Personality: Vilmente has a very superior attitude all of the time, even amongst his fellow Espada, and with good reason. The Segunda Espada constantly notes everything around him at an exceedingly fast rate, even the most seemingly insignificant features or characteristics of a being. The Segunda is also very learn-ed and strives to gain as much knowledge and wisdom as he can from situations that he is placed in. Some regard Vilmente as "overly prepared", which he agrees with. He has a certain aura of arrogance about him, but he limits his pride as best he can, and tries to make light of situations that seem hopeless. Conversely, Vilmente can use his superior attitude to sometimes try to take reign of the Espada, and he can act somewhat like a dictator, though he respects his fellows that are above him in ranking.
History: - N/A
Abilities:
Bandage-related abilities: As stated before, Vilmente was dramatically scarred in numerous battles centuries ago. Upon restoring his body to its full strength, Vilmente wrapped his disfigured body in bandages, which after centuries of wearing, seemingly fused with his physical body. In this realization, Vilmente uses his bandages as an impromptu multipurpose tool for various situations.
-- Curación Andrajosas (literally "Ragged Healing"): In addition to the bandages that have fused to his body being able to significantly supplement his hierro, the object also has healing capabilities. As many Espada usually do, Vilmente sacrificed his more base ability of high speed regeneration in exchange for that of a massive stamina and defensive increase. His bandages have since gained minor regenerative abilities due to their binding with his body for so many centuries. This ability can be used to heal minor or sever wounds and even regenerate parts of Vilmente's body, though at great risk to his spiritual energy, as it will drain quickly if used too often. At full power Vilmente could presumably regenerate half of his body and still have considerable stamina reserves left available.
-- Ojos Flotantes (literally "Floating Eyes"): Vilmente can infuse his senses of sight and hearing via spiritual energy into small pieces of the fabric on his skin, and upon detaching them from his larger body wrappings, use them as reconnaissance/spying fragments that he can control with his energy. Because the Segunda can also produce an infinite amount of bandages from his body, it is very easy to manipulate many thousands of strands of the material.
-- Vinculante Lanza (literally "Binding Lance"): By manupulating and condensing his spiritual pressure into a finite space of his body, Vilmente can solidify an object similar to that of a lance. The weapon will literally form from his body when being created and this process usually takes a few moments, so it holds a few disadvantages. Though the lance holds no practical purpose in melee combat, Vilmente will form the weapon so that when thrown and upon making contact with the desired contact, the bandages of the lance will disperse and wrap around the target. This is useful for pinning enemies to surfaces, as the material is quite durable due to it being part of his body and spiritually imbued. This technique is essentially only used by the Segunda when in his unreleased form, because whilst in his released state this is basically one of the many millions of spikes along his body.
-- Vendajes Andrajosas (literally "Ragged Bandages"): This is a general term that Vilmente gives to any other of his abilities that utilize his unique powers. This includes binding the target from short-to-mid ranges because he can extend the reach of his cloth quite a fair distance.
Hand-To-Hand Mastery: Vilmente is also immensely skilled at the shinigami art of hakuda, as he dislikes having to ever use a sword, much less his Ressureccion. Vilmente can use offensive hakuda techniques, but rarely chooses to use them close to their full potential, as his expertise is mainly defensive. But, when backed into a corner he may display some advanced prowess in such styles.
Massive Stamina/Endurance:Vilmente has vast amount of stamina for three primary reasons: 1. His many centuries of training 2. His status as an arrancar, even before his ascension into the ranks of the Espada his endurance was already incredibly large 3. Because the Segunda exchanged his high speed regenerative abilities for a greater power. In addition, it has been reported that the Segunda has lasted in battles that were weeks in length, and still retain much of is former strength.
Sonido: an Arrancar's high speed movement technique which is roughly equivalent to the Shinigamis' shunpo. It makes the generic a booming or static sound when used. Though the Segunda Espada dislikes using Sonido unless given no other choice for movement, he is quite skilled at the technique and has mastery over it, being one of the highest ranking Espada.
Cero: A form of attack used by most Hollows. As a standard energy blast, it consists of firing a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy at the target. The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength, spiritual power, and sometimes skill of the user. The charging and firing time for Cero also varies greatly, from relatively charging fast to firing it to instantaneously fire one without much charging. Despite the damage it can cause at long range distances, it has been stated that the damage Cero cause as an explosion is more dangerous when used at close range. Vilmente can fire a high power cero, usually accumulated from his fingertips or hand, and it appears a deep navy blue. He prefers saving such attacks for close range encounters to cause substantial damage to his opponents.
Gran Rey Cero: A Cero that only Espada are capable of using and is performed by mixing an Espada's own blood with the Cero. The result is a Cero with a much greater attack power and speed as well as a change of color unique to the Espada. It is also many times more powerful than a normal Cero, capable of disturbing the fabric of space, it also seems to spin like a razor upon release as it compresses and decompresses due to the sheer speed and raw power. Vilmente can utilize the Espada's unique cero but it retains the same color as his usual cero, just complimented with static and an slight outline of teal.
Bala: An Arrancar specialty energy attack that is 20 times faster than a cero, but with the downfall of decreased overall destructive power. Vilmente enjoys implementing this technique quite often in battle, preferring to actually release the energy of the attack at the end of a strike in order to cause greater damage.
Hierro: Vilmente carries an emphasis on defensive power, and as such, has supplemented his natural Hierro strength with that of his bandages, making his skin almost impenetrable.
Descorrer: A technique used by Espada-level Arrancar and sometimes others, to open a Garganta between the living world and Hueco Mundo: Vilmente can open a dimensional passage the same as any usual Arrancar, though he dislikes this method of travel and will often complain about it.
Pesquisa: An Arrancar's ability to detect, sense and gauge the amount of Reiatsu in the vicinity, which functions similarly to sonar detection. Vilmente preforms this technique by undergoing an intense state of concentration, which only takes about three seconds before he can be fully alerted to all the energy around him. Though he is not extremely proficient at this his skill is quite well adapted especially when in use with his Ojos Flotantes ability.
Zanpakutou
Sealed: Vilmente's zanpakutou, in its sealed state, resembles a wakizashi, which the Segunda Espada carries on his lower back. The sword itself has a crossed hilt, similar to that of an addition sign, and its hilt is colored a dull black with stripes of deep blue going across the width of the grip.
Resurreccion: Puerco Espín (Porcupine)
Call Out: Ensnare, and cut their throats - Atrapar y cortar sus gargantas
Appearance: The Segunda Espada's body increases about 200% in size, enveloped in a white, hollow-like skin of hierro and bandages, Vilmente's mask then covers almost the entirety of his face (resembling the skull of a porcupine).
Abilities:
Increased Natural Abilities: Vilmente's stamina further increases when he reaches this state, though only by a small portion. Mainly, his defensive capabilities increase drastically when he assumes this form, his 'suit' of hierro being reputably impenetrable. Though, as it is rare for the Segunda Espada to use this form, it is unknown what its true weakness may be. In addition, Vilmente also retains his former Sonido speed, despite his larger build.
Corporales Picos (Bodily Spikes): As the ability name suggests, Vilmente may willingly summon spikes to encompass his entire Resurreccion form. These spikes can be shot from the body, and are limited in number, but will eventually regenerate if given enough time for Vilmente to recuperate.
Concierto De Mil Ceros (Concert of a thousand Ceros): Though it (the number) is exaggerated greatly, this technique occurs when Vilmente curls into a ball as his Corporales Picos have been activated, and he can simultaneously fire mid-power ceros from the tips of the spikes, dealing massive damage to anything within range of the attack.
