Description:
Personality: The personality of the Hollow known as Furiko Kusubana begun to first develop upon her ascension to Vastro Lorde. Once cruel beyond all belief, and readily devouring her fellow hollows and taking great pleasure in slaughtering Shinigami whenever she would encounter their rare patrols within her desert homeland of Hueco Mundo.
But as soon as she achieved the final pinnacle of power, she changed. She found herself slowly but surely beginning to respect and cherish all forms of life, her streak of wantonly killing things weaker than herself fading entirely until Furiko had become somewhat of a sage within the hollow community. The more primal of species avoiding her because of her power, and the more intelligent seeking her council at times.
Hundreds of years of development turned Furiko into what she is now, which is a virtual paragon of respect and charity. All forms of life, be they shinigami or hollow are treated with the same sense of kindness and compassion that have come over time to become synonymous with her name. Her favorite thing in the world are the simple joys of singing and dancing, activities that are so engrained into her being that even her abilities reflect those simple desires.
Arrogance and discrimination are the traits that Furiko dislikes the most, actively speaking out against people whom display them too strongly in her presence. This is non-conditional, even hollows who act too arrogant towards their enemies are vulnerable to a good tongue-lashing from the Trecera Espada. The killing between the species of hollow and shinigami is nothing short of a tragedy to the Espada, whom believes that hollow exist to maintain a balance as more souls are created.
Her skill in battle is renowned among her species, the speed and grace with which she engages those who make enemies of her is nothing short of a dance celebrating their elegant demise. She'll primarily remain in the rear during battles, aiding her allies with her unique abilities and strategies until she may be forced into the front lines. From there, Furiko will not retreat, fighting with every ounce of strength in her body to defeat whomever the enemy commander is, and limit the amount of deaths that would be sure to come if the battle is prolonged.
History: Two thousand years ago, a young woman was born with a strange and unique ability. She was able to manipulate the mortal coil itself, bringing death to any whom remained in her presence for too long. Many years of sadness and loneliness marked this woman's existence until she could no longer bare the crippling feeling of it all.
So beneath a large sacred tree did she tearfully slit her throat, her blood staining the ground and turning the very leaves of the tree a brilliant crimson as if nature itself were the only to mourn her passing. But when her plus exited her body, no shinigami ever came to take her to soul society. So for many more years did her spirit weep beneath the tree until it finally degraded into the form of a simple hollow.
Many years had passed, this hollow mindlessly eating the spirits of everything around itself, evading or killing any shinigami patrols that had sprung up to oppose her. Finally did she achieve the next state of her hollow evolution, and begun to develop a new consciousness. A persona of pain and torment, one that sought nothing more than to bring terror upon her foes and devour their flesh on her conquest of power.
Gradually did the hollow continue to devour hapless Pluses or lesser hollows, gaining in power at a rapid rate until she suddenly achieved the final state of Hollow evolution. The form of the Vastro Lorde. With seemingly limitless power at her beck and call, a heightened intelligence and and improved awareness of the world itself did she begin to understand the primal thirst and desire for life that all living beings hold. The fear in the eyes of her enemies when they were slain, the mad scramble for living beings to make their mark upon the world before either a stronger being or old age would finally end their lives.
For nearly a thousand years did the Vastro Lorde, Furiko Kusubana lay in wait, observing all around herself without making a single gesture of violence towards the other denizens of Hueco Mundo, this strange inaction or downright benevolence beginning to attract some of the less powerful of her species to her side, the mindless staying away due to fear of her over-abundant spiritual pressure, while the more intelligent seeking her council for several cases of hollow politics.
It was good, Furiko was able to survive just by absorbing stray reishi particles out of the air, and due to being the very pinnacle of the food chain, there were no predators that could potentially threaten her life. Up until another Vastro Lorde emerged deep within the forest of menos, indiscriminately slaughtering the species of the forest until some of the more frightened and less proud of their kind raced out into the desert to find her, hoping that she could end that reign of tyranny.
Saddened by their plight and slightly curious about the prospect of meeting someone as powerful as herself, she immediately set out to meet this tyrannical individual. The man she met after scanning through the forest was quite fitting of what the other hollow said, tall and dark, and with a malevolent aura all around him that simply reeked of murder and death. Without even exchanging words did the two powerful foes clash, evenly matched matched an intelligently placed blow from her opponent sundered her hollow mask in twine and removed it entirely save for a small scrap that appeared like a pair of earmuffs.
But that was enough, the power that suddenly coursed through Furiko's veins caught her opponent entirely off guard and allowed for her to crush and assimilate him into herself, creating the Arrancar that she is today. It was frightening and unheard of. Not since Sousuke Aizen's reign in Hueco Mundo did arrancar appear in this world. But yet, here was one in the flesh, standing before the menos with a curious weapon in hand. And that's when she left, marching towards the crumbling castle Los Noches, drawn there by some kind of compulsion.
And thus she became the Trecera Espada.
Abilities:
Cero Positiva: A Cero of blinding white light. What makes this one special is that it has slight tracking capabilities, and can ricochet off any surface.
Melodia de la Vida (Melody of Life): Her song rejuvenates and inspires her and her allies. As long as she continues to sing, wounds will gradually heal, spiritual pressure will return, and all who hear the song will gain morale. Can be used in tandem with Danza de la Miseria
Danza de la miseria (Dance of misery): She begins to dance, which sends out her spiritual pressure and causes enemies in the vicinity to begin to feel sluggish and weak. The longer she dances, the worse the symptoms. The effect lingers for a few minutes after she stops dancing. Can be used in tandem with Melodia de la Vida
Sonido: The hollow variant of Shunpo. If someone were to ask among the Espada whom was the fastest, Furiko's name would come up fairly often. Her talent with Sonido is unmatched, her lithe and limber body only adding to the potential speed with which she will move.
Pesquisa: Furiko has especially good control over Pesquisa, and can sense lifeforms from miles away, even if they are hiding their pressures. She's recently become proficient enough to read people's moods just by tells in their spiritual presssure.
Bala: Like a cero, but small and fast. Furiko's Bala also richochet off surfaces if she so desires.
Hierro: Furiko's Hierro is not especially strong, but is fitting for someone of the third rank of Espada.
High-speed regeneration: Furiko possesses the ability to restore lost limbs, which can be augmented by her healing gifts
Zanpakutou
Sealed:
Resurreccion: Cantar, Lanza De La Misericordia (Sing, Lance of Mercy)
(Ignore the name on the picture)
Appearance: (Think Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile) Her headband-like mask turns into a helmet, and her clothes change to that of a valkyrie’s.
Abilities:
Empowerment: All of her previous abilities are strengthened considerably in Resurreccion. Melodia de la Vida essentially instantly heals wounds, Cero Positiva now fires four of the projectiles simultaneously, and Danza de la miseria causes instant sluggishness, and muscle atropy.
Vitalization: Furiko steadily absorbs reishi at all times while in resurreccion, which she uses to heal wounds inflicted upon her if necessary. It is not an instantaneous process, instead working like a “Regen” spell would.
Esperanza Grande (Grand Hope): Using remnants of reishi, if Furiko or an ally is on the verge of death, she can restore their bodies to a stable condition. By no means is the character going to be in the fight again anytime soon, but at least she can prevent a death. Using this ability uses up all of Furiko’s spiritual power, so she normally is unable to maintain her ressureccion after using this ability.
Pickles, bruh.
