The Jackal
 THE ARRANCAR APPLICATION Name: [Wolfgang Jakkalera](Aka; The Jackal) Age: [26] True Age: [987] Sex: [Male] Personality: The Jackal's main features in regards to his personality are the Arrancar's cunning that has gotten him through so many situations. This cunning comes to life in various ways. Wolfgang is a very calm, collected and yet so calculating in everything that he does. He is not above acting petty and cruel in order to get a reaction out of someone. He is a very observant creature that amuses himself with the pain and joy of others. Wolfgang is a gambler at heart, generally making bets. These bets made are generally put into place to keep things interesting in his little world. The Jackal is very open to different ideas and ideals, as long as it fits in with his own in the long run. Wolfgang prides himself on being as efficient as possible. This includes hunting, the general bantering, fighting, and even belittling others. Even with all of this, he is very cautious, the type of person that thinks before acting. The sort of person that takes calculated risks, refusing to play by the rules of others. The Jackal learned long ago not to play according to the rules of others. The Jackal can be cold and unforgiving in certain situations. There is also the issue of him not being above betrayal. In the gambler's world, there is no honor among thieves, a code that has seen him survive countless situations. Wolfgang at times may show a lack of interest in things that others may find amusing. There is always the possibility that what others find sufficient is indeed lacking in some other aspect. Wolfgang demonstrates his self-discipline by constantly moving forward. The Jackal can become intoxicated by the possibilities that lie ahead. There are times when he'd rather be alone, almost acting shy, often choosing to shun those around him on a whim. The Jackal's behavior can be very spontaneous as he is the adventurous type, though that doesn't mean that these spontaneous acts won't get him the desired results. There is always a method behind his madness, a master of the art. A very conscientious person, that is always in control of his own actions. In fact his spontaneous actions may at times mislead others to think he isn't at all the conscientious type. But this is all apart of a cunning plan for advancement, the art of deception by putting on a poker face. Most of these pales in comparison to the Jackal’s psyche, as anyone would agree that his mind is most unique. The Jackal has expressed an interest in scientific research which is unusual for someone like this man. The Jackal likes conducting research, dissecting others and probing the minds of others. He is all about knowledge which ties in perfectly with his intoxication. The actions of the Jackal and his psyche means the man died of intoxication. Intoxication for the Jackal can cover most aspects of his personality and his view on life. The Jackal’s gambling habits was more like intoxication and a bad habit, but the Arrancar did make a living out of it. The man was also drunk on knowledge and his thirst for it will see him poison his mind as a result. On the other side of life, Wolfgang shows that he has needs like any other man. The Arrancar often seeks out satisfaction in the form of the female company. One such as Wolfgang cannot deny the importance of the female anatomy. The Arrancar often tries to find a number of women to satisfy his needs. He is not above being perverted which is often seen in some instances. None of this seems to measure up to his prideful nature. »Likes: Research & Development: Wolfgang is a scientist at heart. Always seeking to develop new things to further advance himself and his fellow Hollows. Knowledge is power and he seeks this endlessly. Women: Wolfgang loves the company of women even more so than research and development. There is something about the opposite sex that makes the man as curious as ever. Bets: Wolfgang is a gambler, and so he often places various bets and wagers in order to keep things interesting. His bets can be of a low stake and sometimes they command a much higher stake. Life is but a game to the man and he is often its manipulator. Sleeping: When all is said and done and when there is nothing to do. Wolfgang tend to indulge in long naps in order to rejuvenate himself. A Good Fight: Wolfgang, despite his more sophisticated state and humanity. He is still as primal as any other Hollow. And will no doubt get involved in fights. Especially if its necessary when it comes to aiding his research. »Dislikes: The Natural Order: There is nothing like disturbing the peace and causing a bit of mischief. Wolfgang likes the idea of chaos, since with chaos he can even more so observe others. It is often at this point that their true nature will come to light. The Typical Dunce: Those lacking in apparent intelligence is a eyesore for Wolfgang. There is nothing worse than the uninformed interfering in matters that does not concern them. Shinigami/Quincy: Being a Hollow, Wolfgang simply cannot stand either race. He is their direct opposite and natural enemy. And so it is not uncommon for him to want to kill a Shinigami or Quincy. Better yet, the man might capture and experiment on them. CHARACTER APPEARANCE Height: [6'3] Weight: [186lbs] Physical Traits: Head: Wolfgang has a very handsome face compared to many other beings of the Arrancar race. His handsome exterior is truly one of a kind, the type of face the lures in unsuspecting prey such as women. Only to have them become part of a large collection. Wolfgang has long shoulder length, yet spiky teal colored hair. His skin color is of a brown skin color, sticking to the theme of a Spaniard in certain regards to being an Arrancar. Wolfgang also stands at 6 foot, three inches, boasting a well toned body, but not overly bulky. Wolfgang has piercing teal colored eyes that are equally as seductive as they can be made to give off a devious stare. The Jackal's mask fragment is the bottom half of a jawbone which resembles that of a canine. The mask fragment which is the bottom half of a jawbone is on the left side of the Jackal’s face. It runs along the Arrancar’s own jawbone on that particular side of his face. There are teeth running along the mask fragment. Parts of the mask fragment also extend downward towards the neck of the Jackal. Interestingly enough, the mask fragment of the Arrancar doesn’t seem to hamper him in any way. The mask fragment is of course white with the teeth running along it being black. Moving down the body of the Jackal, Wolfgang has his number tattooed on the right side of his neck. Upper body: The Jackal wears the typical black and white Arrancar attire, though the man has added his own unique flavor to it. The Jackal's upper garments consist of white long-sleeved overcoat that fits closely to his body, but not close enough to hinder his movements. There is also a pair of black fingerless gloves being worn on both hands of the Arrancar. The overcoat mentioned has a very high collar to it. On either side of the collars a pair of black tassels is attached to it. The high collar severs to hide the tattoo of his number from view. The man also seems to sport a what appears to be a black flack jacket, though not entirely military style. It’s more like for fashion than anything, yet it sets the Jackal apart from the other Espada. The flack jacket is worn over the long white overcoat. The overcoat is of course buttoned up only exposing most of the Arrancar collar bone. The flack-jacket in question is buckled around The Jackal’s waist moving up towards his chest area. The buckles are of a silver color, with the flack jacket only having straps that covers only one shoulder. More specifically, these are strapped across his left shoulder. The flack jacket of course has a number of compartments that are used to store his deck of cards and other insignificant items. Lower Body: Wolfgang also wears a black sash around his waist rather stylishly. Wolfgang neglects the usual Hakama of the Arrancar race, instead opting for more closely fitting white trousers. The overcoat of the man also stretches pass his knees, ending up in an inverted "V" shape. Wolfgang unlike many of the other Arrancar, wears black man boots, something many considers to be his own personal style. The trousers that the Jackal sports covers the boots mainly, leaving only the foot area visible, which excludes the shin area and upwards.
FIGHTING STYLE General Fighting Style: The Jackal's fighting style is based upon careful observation, reading each and every opponent. The man tends to plan his moves four steps ahead of the opponent. Constantly luring others into a false sense of security. So much so that they believe that their victory is assured. However, once the man gets the upper hand, he can be merciless, and will end his fights quite swiftly. On the other hand though, and in the spirit of science. The Jackal may purposely engage in drawn out combat. Especially if it means collecting important data on the enemy. He is a trickster in nature, and one who tends to take a gamble. But seemingly prefers to do so when the odds are in his favor. The Jackal fights with grace, effortless in his movements. As gentle as the night's wind, but he carries a great deal of ferocity. It is often difficult to tell whether the man is fighting seriously or not. He is an enigma for sure, showing a lazy side to himself. He gives the same amount of effort as the opponent tends to give. But playing around is not always a certainty. Again, the man is brutal and will cut down anything in his path. Devour them all. Strengths: Sonido: Wolfgang is a master at utilizing Sonido, mastering all forms of it to the highest level. He is certainly on the same level as those who profess themselves masters. Pesquisa Wolfgang has particularly keen senses, being able to pick up on and sense even the lowest levels of Reiatsu. To the point where he can pick up on and track a target over long distances. In combat he is also perfectly capable of keeping tracking of his opponent. His Pesquisa is one such, where he can tell if someone considered defeated is alive or not. Cero: Wolfgang most certainly boasts a powerful Cero, even without the likes of Gran Rey Cero or Cero Oscura's. Reiatsu/Reiryoku: The Jackal's Reiatsu and Reiryoku levels are quite exceptional, as would be expected. It would be safe to say that he's at a top tier level in terms of Reiatsu. Weaknesses: Hiero:Wolfgang's Hiero is one of his weakest points, falling below average based on what ones would expect from an Arrancar of his level. This is why his fighting style is more suited to ranged combat. Hakuda/Hand to Hand: Wolfgang can certainly throw a punch and can handle himself. But should he be completely disarmed as far as his sword his concerned. Then he may struggle when it comes to fighting hand to hand combat. Stamina: While fighting is something he enjoys, Wolfgang also dislikes the idea of drawn out battles. This is down to his stamina levels not being as high as most would expect. ZANPAKUTO & CERO Sealed Appearance: The sealed form of The Jackal’s Zanapakuto comes as a pair of modified Falcata blades. Each weapon extends up to 30 inches in length, with close relations to a Wakazashi based on the length. The blades are both black, and on the side of each blade a pack of canines seem to be running. This pack of canine bizarrely enough is a pack of Jackals on the hunt. The Jackals on the side of the blade are silver, which makes the design stand out and become noticeable. The pair of blades possesses a very sharp edge as most would expect of such a weapon. The width of the blades sees them expand out to 5 inches wide. The cross guards for each blade are almost none existent, with the hilt extended a mere eight inches long before curving around so that the hilt have two sides. The hilt then becomes a rectangular shape hilt though not exactly with the bottom of the hilt being curved. The color of the hilt is also black and at the bottom of each hilt is a silver ring attached. Strangely enough on the bottom of the hilt where the silver ring extends from. There is a slit that is one inch wide. This slit acts as a path way through which the black thin ribbon like rope extends from. The aforementioned ring isn’t exactly connected to the hilt; it is instead connected to the rope like black ribbons. The ribbon like black rope extends up to four meters long and it has a very interesting mechanism. The Jackal will often place his middle fingers inside each silver ring. And once this has been done, the man can then have the ribbon like rope unreel thus giving him a weapon that is useful for close and mid range combat based on the ways the blades are being wielded. The silver rings seem to fit just perfectly on the fingers of the man. And once The Jackal removes his fingers, the ribbon like rope will return to its usual state like a tape-measure folding up again. The makeup of the Falacata blades and their function will be seen as The Jackal fights. The almost non existent cross guards comes in the form of a black ring, though not as large as most cross guards. The Jackal sheaths his Zanapakutos in a black sheathe, with silver trimmings running along it. Zanpakuto Name: El Jugador Mascarada→The Gambler's Masquarade Zanpakuto Call Out: Place Your Bet Cero: Normal Cero Bala Gran Rey Cero Cero Oscura RESURRECTION Appearance: The transition from being normal, to extraordinary would have been completed, by a mere release phrase. The Arrancar known as The Jackal, by now underwent a few changes. The head of the Arrancar is the starting point for these changes. The Arrancar's teal colored hair that is normally short will now be spiky and longer, with even more volume to it. The Jackal will also be sporting a mask on his face. A Venetian masquerade mask with a major portion of the mask being white. The mask is decorated with black ribbons at the top of it, these ribbons also has bells at the end of them. The ribbons are shaped like a slender triangle, that stands up firm. There are at least seven small bells in total. The bells on the end of each ribbons are golden, stemming from black ribbons with red outlines. The ribbons themselves extend up to 8 inches in length. Strangely enough, as The Jackal beings to move, the bells on the ribbons makes no sound. The eye holes of the mask, has tiny black designs just below it. These designs are in the shape of black spades, like on a card. The spades point downward, acting as tears falling from the eye of the mask. The lips of the mask are painted black, along with a black outline around the eye holes. At the base of the mask, such as the chin and jaw area extends 7 black triangular shaped ribbons, with red fur on the out edges of them. The ribbons also have bells attached to them like at the top of the mask. The Jackal is also dressed in what appears to be three pieces of garment. The Jackal wears a black overcoat over his clothing. The overcoat is decorated by playing card symbols. These symbols include diamonds, spades, hearts and cloves. It ranges from aces, king, queens, jacks etc. The overcoat also has a thick crimson fur, that acts as the collar. This fur settles on the shoulders of The Jackal, as well as covering the neck area of the man. Beneath this over coat of his, he sports a black shirt that is buttoned, but not all the way up. The Arrancar sports a pair of gloves on his hands. On his left hand is a black glove; while on his right is a white glove. The overcoat is also buttoned at the mid section. This effectively creates a "V" shape at the upper half of the body, and an inverted V at the lower half of the body. The end of the sleeves, where the wrist is, also has red fur decorating it. The bottom of the overcoat also has this red fur on it too. The Jackal wears a pair of trousers that are also black, with what appears to be black man boots. The trousers seem to stick with the theme of the gambler. It is decorated with card symbols much like the overcoat of the Arrancar. These card symbols of course ranges from aces, queens, jacks, king, diamonds, spades etc. As one would expect, The Jackal’s mask fragments are replaced by the Venetian mask that is being sported by the Arrancar. Going further into his Ressurecion. The Jackal also possess a pair of pistols and a deck of cards that are very unique in their function. The Pistols comes in the form of modified 357 Magnums, which is a reflection of their power. The nozzles of each pistols takes the shape of a Silver skull, with its mouth wide opened. The mouth of the skull as one would expect leads to the inside chamber of the pistol. The eye of the skull acts as infrared markers emitting a red light, so that the wielder of the Pistols can properly aim. These markers can pinpoint a target up to 800 meters away. The pistols as stated are modified Magnums, however they don't carry the same slim chamber as your regular magnum does. They're instead made to be more rectangular in shape which is 5 inches in length from the top of the nozzle to the bottom of it. The magnums also extend 11 inches long, with your typical round barrels that holds the rounds. The weapons are very durable much like any other Zanapakuto, granting them the ability to perform melee combat. The guns will be black in color, well most of it for the most part. With the skull shaped nozzle, being silver along with the hammer and the trigger. Along the sides of the each weapon, will have the design of a pack of canines, again these canines are a pack of jackals and are also silver in color. The handle of the weapons are actually silver and black with a rubber grip. At the front of his waistline a deck of cards are located in a black holster of their own, they too are a part of his weaponry and arsenal. These black cards are more or less like your general deck of cards, with all the general cards coming into play. These include Jacks, Queens, Aces, Kings etc. The deck of cards are black, with the inside of the cards being white, the number of the cards and so on being a mixture of red and black etc. The cards are generally carried in a case on his hips that are easily accessible. What is truly remarkable about the cards, are their metallic structure, able to parry and do much more like a Zanapakuto can. The Jackal also sports black holsters for his pistols on the outside of his thighs. These holsters will often be used whenever the Jackal’s chooses to switch his style of combat. The holsters are of course strapped around the thighs of the Jackal.
Abilities: El Jugador Mascarada's ability is based upon the creation of energy and force. This aforementioned energy comes in the form of dark energy, with a teal colored glow to it. The Jackal is capable of manifesting, manipulating, creating, reconstruct said energy. He is capable of controlling its intensity and density also. El Jugador utilizes this energy which is malleable, being able to be used to accomplish a multitude of different things. The energy flows in a unique manner, can be like liquid and comes in great volumes, seeming to consume everything. Said ability can also be used to form solid constructs, varying in size, density and shape etc. Other than that, it can be used as simply pure raw energy, granting Wolfgang the ability to disperse it like a Cero or even a kido spell. This is his natural ability, granting great versatility and a fluent method of attack and defense. The energy can be used both offensively, defensively or in a supplementary fashion. Creating swords, whips, bullets and the like is not beyond the realms of possibility for Wolfgang. Also, due to the nature of his Ressureccion, the same energy can be fired off from his pistols. That, and Wolfgang can also fire off different kinds of Cero and Bala from his pistols, making him quite dangerous. As part of his Resurreccion, Wolfgang also gains the ability to utilize a deck of cards as part of his arsenal. Capable of expanding their size, meanwhile filling them with this same unique energy. The offense and defensive capabilities of the aforementioned energy. Can be compared to a level 75 Hado and Bakudo spell. Anything more powerful is strictly governed by techniques. His abilities during his Resurreccion are Governed by his Techniques posted below. ¬Name: Revólver Brigada- Revolver Brigade ¬Level: Ressureccion ¬Types: Offense ¬Effect: Revolver Brigada is generally fired off from the pistols of The Jackal. The Jackal will unload six shots from his pistol(s) that is consisted of dark energy generated by the ability of his Resurrecion. These bullets of course share the same ability from his Resurreccion, but there is something that truly sets them apart from other similar techniques. The bullets are about the same size of a Cero blast. These bullets are of a black and teal color with card symbols decorating it which makes it recognizable of being from the Jackal. Revolver Brigada consist of dark energy as mentioned. These bullets are thus generated to be two times as fast as a Cero technique. While not unavoidable, it does lend to catch an unsuspecting opponent off guard. Upon collision with the target or even on impact, the Revolver Brigada blasts will explode covering up an area of 60 meters. The technique itself doesn’t cause a fiery explosion per say. Instead it is more like a violent shock wave that is just as effective, as it rips apart materials and the likes that it collides with. The blasts/bullets are said to be on the same level as a level 88 Hado spell(When released as a combined force. Single bullets are more like a level 75 hado spell). Range: Long Duration/Post Usage: 1 Preparation: None Cool Down: 3 ¬Name: Castillo de Naipes-House of Cards ¬Level: Ressureccion ¬Types: Offense & Defense ¬Effect: House of Cards is one of Wolfgang’s more defensive techniques that can switch to offense when combined with Russian Ruleta. Castillo de Naipes main purpose is to protect the Jackal from harmful forces being used against him. The Jackal will have one or more cards expand, according to his current needs. The card(s) will expand ten feet by ten is order to offer full protection. One card if the man is seeking protection from any one direction. However, he may require two, if he needed protection from frontal assaults and those from behind. A full set of six cards if he is seeking protection from below, above, the sides, infront and his back. The same black and teal color energy will coat these cards, while also making them as fast as a Bala as they come to the aid of the Jackal. Castillo de Naipes can naturally protect Wolfgang against techniques up to level 93. Techniques higher than this level will still be reduced in potency, based on the way in which the teal color energy coating the cards work. As such if Wolfgang wishes to protect himself against an attack that exceeds what Castillo de Naipes is suppose to be capable. The man will have to sacrifice even more energy, based on the guidelines of his Resurrecion ability. Range: Close-Mid Range Duration/Post Usage: 1 Preparation: None Cool Down: 3 ¬Name: Gambito Réquiem- Gambit’s Requiem ¬Level: Ressureccion ¬Types: Offense ¬Effect: The Gambits Requiem utilizes the cards in the Jackal’s deck as a quick offensive attack. These cards are of course like the other techniques used by Wolfgang. They are coated in a teal color energy that is constant. Wolfgang will generally throw cards from his deck of cards and have it/them cause an explosion of the same type mentioned before. The cards are as fast as a Bala when thrown. Wolfgang will have the explosion occur according to his will when thrown. These cards are of course manipulated by The Jackal, and often the resulting blast is as powerful as a level 75 spell. However when six or more is combined, the explosion is on the level of a level 88 spell. The explosion causes a violent shock wave, while ripping and tearing apart materials and other defenses as the energy expands. This kind of explosion is shared by the Jackal’s techniques. The range of the explosion spans out to 60 meters. Range: Long Duration/Post Usage: 1 Preparation: None Cool Down: 3 ¬Name: Russian Ruleta- Russian Roulette ¬Level: Ressureccion ¬Types: Supplementary ¬Effect: Russian Ruleta is quite subtle in its build up, but becomes far from being subtle as the preparations become completed. Russian Ruleta is the offspring of Wolfgang’s technique known as Comodin. This technique shares the same principles as Comodin, except it does something in addition which truly makes a difference. The Jackal will of course manipulate the movements of the deck of cards or even a portion of them. Once they’ve been set into place, The Jackal will have the cards explode. There is one obvious way of telling when the cards will explode. The teal color energy coating them will suddenly turn black half a second before the explosion occurs in the area. Russian Ruleta is as potent as a level 88 Hado spell when it explodes. The explosions as stated before in other techniques are not of a fiery nature. Instead these explosions will rip and tear things apart whether it be flesh or otherwise. The shock wave generated from the occurring blast is also quite powerful, covering up to a 70 meter radius. Range: Long Duration/Post Usage: 2 Preparation: None Cool Down: 5 ¬Name: Dark Mass Creation ¬Level: Ressureccion ¬Types: Supplementary ¬Effect: Dark Mass Creation allows the Jackal to gather the dark energy afforded by his ressureccion and manipulate it. This was he is capable to reshaping it to form sturdy structures for defense. And other offensive abilities as was described above in his ressureccion ability. Range: Long Duration/Post Usage: 2 Preparation: None Cool Down: 4 →Name: Reina Abrazo→Queen’s Embrace →Level: Innate Ability/Resurrection →Type: Supplementary →Effect: Reina Abrazo/Queen’s embrace is an innocent and yet a malevolent ability. Reina Abrazo uses the dark teal energy of the Jackal for a certain effect on the Jackal’s opponents. By being able to control the way the energy is released. Reina Abrazo can be used as a sort of binding. The energy can be used as like a rope, a cocoon etc. The result is to seize the opponent, thus preventing them from escaping. The energy on its own is not good enough. However, it affects the opponent by causing excruciating pain. This makes it difficult for opponents to escape or even combat against it. For whilst bounded by the energy, they have to somehow overcome the pain. Outside of resurrection, the energy can is comparable to a level 66 spell. While in Resurrection form, the energy follows the same rules as its abilities. →Name: Controlar→ Control →Level: Innate Ability →Type: Supplementary →Effect: The Jackal while fighting tends to utilize a special kind of energy. One that is dark with a teal coloured glow to it. The Jackal is capable to creating, manipulating, reconstructing, and reshaping the energy to his liking. This energy which he has control over, can take on different states. He can distribute the energy in such a way, that he can go on the offensive and defend just as well. The potency of the energy is said to be comparable to a Cero, both offensive and defensively. The volume can be increased and decreased based on what he is attempting to accomplish. The energy can be used to augment his physical capabilities. Making his sword slashes more potent, and in some cases his strikes will become less predictable. →Name: Juego de Manos→ Sleight of Hand →Level: Innate Ability/Resurrection →Type: Supplementary →Effect: Sleight of Hand isn’t a fancy trick or obvious deception as one would imagine. But the ability does allow the user to deceive their opponent. This is done by pouring Reiatsu into the dark teal coloured energy. By doing so, the user can enhance its capabilities for a period. As such, the user can boost their abilities, both offensively and defensively. Meanwhile physically augmenting their capabilities, enough so to surprise their opponent. When sleight of hand is used offensively and defensively. The speed and formation of the energy and its uses are boosted. They experience a boost 10 levels above its normal capabilities. And as for the physical augmentation, it grants the user x1.5 boost to their abilities. This is useful both in and outside of Resurrection. As even their weaker abilities get boosted while doing this. Sleight of hand can also be used to affect the user’s normal abilities such as Cero. →Usage: 1 Post →Cool Down: 5 Post Boosts:
RESURRECTION SEGUNDA Appearance: [What do you look like in segunda?] Abilities: [What abilities do you gain?] Boosts: [What physical capabilities increase in your resurreccion? Speed, Strength, Stamina, etc.] BACK-DROP Background: Life in the living world: Lucius Cross, the man, the legend was born a very poor during really harsh times. He came into existence well over a thousand years ago, and during the time he was a human. Lucius has had to learn a few tricks that ensured his survival. Lucius grew up in a rather poor family of five. At a time where his family earned little to no money, food and clothing was scarce. This means that the youngster had to find a way to survive. He succeeded where others failed to find a way through the blockades, created by society. Lucius succeeded by going around the system, through the art of deception, thievery and general wits. He also showed that he had great intelligence. His family might have been poor, but they were not a bunch of dunces. Lucius parents made sure to teach him the basics. This is what gave him the tools to move forward, being as crafty as possible while doing so. As the young man come of age, he had already learned how to steal in a very graceful manner. This included picking pockets, coming up with strategy to steal from merchants. And with everything that he did, Lucius always placed a wager. His life revolved around bets, gambling and a number of other things. His most favorite aspect of this was a game of cards. The young Lucius was also somewhat of a jester. His inability to truly take anything serious might have cost him his life many a times. Some would say that is was through sheer luck that he survived at times. And thats exactly what he was a survivor. A little over a decade passed by, and the boy was now a man. He continued to steal, deceive and gamble nonstop. In the end, this all paid off for him. Lucius was able to feed, clothe and shelter himself. Soon enough others came following in his footsteps; he became a gang leader in time. One that actually showed that he had morals, at least in regards to some things. Life was just life for Lucius, though exciting for him. It is mundane for those looking in from the outside. Life After Death: Lucius Cross was a man that lived his life based on intoxication. Woman, alcohol, money, clothes, he wanted it all. And so he did almost anything possible to get what he wanted. For women, he'd simply use charm and wits. For money, clothes and the likes, he relied on deception among other means. The life of Lucius came to an abrupt end. Leading up to this event, Lucius Cross continued his work, lying, cheating, stealing, etc. The time had finally come for him to face his judgment. Lucius and his gang of thieving scoundrels, were arrested and to be executed. The numerous crimes amounted to the death penalty. And in one last effort to buy his freedom, Lucius made a wager of sorts. A game of Russian roulette, though this game was not called such as yet. The idea behind the game was that, if Lucius won, he'd be set free. Should he lose, then he'd be put to death. This game of life and death, involved Lucius and his foe, and a pair of crossbows. They started off with their backs turned to each other. And each of them had a loaded crossbow in their hand. The person that Lucius had to face off with was one of his own comrades. A close friend of his, which saddened him, but such is life. Both men walked 12 paces apart from each other, and turned around and aimed. There was no way to tell where each man was, since they were blind folded. On command of the executioner, both men let loose their arrow of death. Perhaps it was luck or destiny, but both men hit their mark. Lucius was shot through the throat, while his friend was shot through the head. That was the end of their unfortunate human lives. Life as a Hollow: The death of Lucius marked a new beginning. He was cast into the unknown, which supposedly was the after life. Even death could not separate this band of menace to society. There were at least 37 of this band of criminal, an organization if you will. And they all followed Lucius into the after life, where they shared a brief reunion. They wandered the streets, searching endlessly for a resting place. All of these men soon fell into despair, their chains of fate, began to shorten, being consumed by an unknown entity. As they fell deeper into despair, the process sped up even quicker. Redemption had long gone for them, they all in the end transformed into hollows. A gang of hollows bent of destruction fueled by the hunger that consumed their empty souls. This gang of hollows, while beast like, showed a natural instinct for survival. There was a clear coordination between them. They demonstrated the ability to take down prey and feed on them in a very effective way. Lucius as a hollow started off feeding on souls that recently died. They were easy prey for the gang, not to mention there was an abundance of these souls. The endless gorging on these souls resulted in an overall increase in strength. The time had finally come, Shinigami were now on the hunt. It seems Lucius and his gang was beginning to draw attention to them. Many Shinigami came and many Shinigami along with Hollows died. Lucius however was one of the lucky ones, not to have fallen victim. Instead, he was getting more and more powerful. The gang of hollows that surrounded him were fed on too. Further empowering the low class hollow, though a little stronger that average. But for every hollow that roamed the material world, they would soon be drawn to Hueco Mundo. That is where they belonged after all, and that is where they would go. They made their way there by following a Menos Grande through a Garagunta. And by performing this act, the Hollow found himself in the forest of Menos. It was a strange place; a new habitat compared to what he was use to. There were only hollows like himself, and to survive he had to feed on these other creatures. This didn't go on for too long however, a grouping of hollows prevented this. Lucius was apart of this group and so underwent an evolution. He was now apart of an accumulation of hollows, that formed into a Menos Grande. Cross would have been lost forever, had it not been for his desire. The desire to continue existing was far too overwhelming for the others to quell his uprising. That was when it happened. Lucius was able to become the superior consciousness, and by doing so, reached another stage of evolution. He managed to reach the Gillian class, now even more powerful than a Menos Grande. Current Life: Lucius spent some more time in the forest of menos, decades, feeding on lower level hollows. Menos grande and the new comers, but they could only offer him so much. It was simply not enough for Lucius, who was now able to reason and think for himself. He maintained the same personality that got him through hard times. The Gillian set out across the white sandy plains of Hueco Mundo. There he came across many other hollows, and through the use of tactics. He was able to succeed in consuming as many as possible. The journey across the desert was leading him nowhere. He'd long forgotten how long he'd been in Hueco Mundo. His instincts drove him to the realm of the humans. Lucius was now armed with the ability to learn Sonido, among other hollow techniques. During his missions to the material world, he'd always try to consume as many souls as possible. Quincy, Shinigami and plus souls of humans. Even other hollows that got in his way were not spared. Always scurrying back to Hueco Mundo, Lucius found that he was constantly changing. He became more and more humanoid as time went by. He reached the level of an Adjuchas, he was of the Adjuchas class now. This meant that hunting and such was even easier for him. He also started developing new techniques, those unique to him. It wasn't long before he once again, found himself in the company of others. Lucius came across four other Adjuchas like himself, this of course brought on a sense of nostalgia. A distant memory which he couldn't quite place, or truly remember anything from past events. Years went by and Lucius Cross was doing what he always did and that was to survive. The time had finally come for him to take another step further into hollow wood. But before that could happen, war broke out in Hueco Mundo. There was civil unrest among warring hollow factions, fighting for supremacy. This of course meant that every hollow, would be caught in the crossfire. And not wanting to become prey, Lucius formulated a plan. He and his small band of hollow brethren hid themselves and awaited signs of weakness. The war will no doubt have casualties, rather powerful ones. And thats exactly what Cross was hoping for. He and his brethren would often descend on the battlefield. Seizing injured prey, both the strong and weak alike. This act ensured that they had powerful hollows to feed on. There was never a harvest of hollow food like this before. With the war going on, Cross was growing in power more and more. He was at the pinnacle of his power, thats when he felt a sudden urge to do something. Although he had been changing more and more, his transformation wasn't quite complete. The above Adjuchas level Cross ripped his mask off, thus undergoing a transformation. One that saw him takes on the form of a man more or less. He was in the form of a humanoid Jackal before. But now it was different somehow. He was more human, and far more powerful than ever. He was also boasting a Zanapakuto, which sealed his Resurrecion. Lucius was now a Vasto Lorde one of the kings, or rather a self proclaimed one. He soon joined the actual war, making his presence known. Deals were made, and so were wagers on the lives of others. And as the war came to an end, they soon realized it was all for nothing. Then again, that is not entirely true, since there now lays a structure in Hueco Mundo. The structure suggests that there is some kind of order, in these savage lands. A military power was formed in order to combat the Shinigami. And from within the walls of this structure, came about the Espada. They are said to be the best that Hueco Mundo has to offer. Lucius remained somewhat skeptical about all of this. Though, there is always a chance, that he will join that military power. His reason for doing so has not arrived as yet. The one known as Lucius Cross soon become formerly known as Lucius Cross. The aforementioned name was nothing more than a name given to the man when he had a life as a human. However during his rise to fame in Hueco Mundo, such a name was discarded. The man was a Jackal now, a gambler of epic proportions. He was now Wolfgang Jakkalera, nickname the Jackal or Gangz, considering he was the leader of his band of Hollow brethren. Wolfgang however felt that he and his band may be better off as part of a much stronger group. And so his curiosity took him to the great castle within Hueco Mundo. There he would have a new beginning as an Espada. And if none of this worked out, the man would simply remain as a roamer of the deserts. But as luck would have it. The organization consisting of the Espada wasn't totally a dud. As such the Jackal decided to stick around and see what might transpire. After all, he was also seeking an old friend, but at the time that Wolfgang had met him. The little monster didn't go by said name. He was simply known as the stalker of shadows. Other hollows would often tell fables of the man, which was most amusing to say the least. As such when his friend openly invited Wolfgang, he had little choice but to accept. Besides, Wolfgang had aspirations of furthering his work in the field of science. And being part of the Espada organization may well help the man with this. There was structure and that may prove to be vital. And so here we are at present as the man begin another chapter of his life. Side Notes: [Anything you might have left out in your application goes here] RP Sample: Wolfgang, made his return to Las Noches, not bothering to take a detour as Talukra did. The Jackal was now in the second highest of towers within Las Noches. Only the King's tower being higher than that of the Sombra Espada. The Segunda Espada managed to procure a little specimen for experimentation. Wolfgang however felt that they could have done a lot more. And perhaps he should have done. The trip to Karakura Town did not turn out the way he had expected to. That in itself proved to be a problem for the Espada. Wolfgang was always certain of his plans working in his favor. And although his mission wasn't a complete failure, he still didn't feel satisfied with the results. Capturing a lowly Shinigami was more of a consolation prize than anything. Was it even worth it? Wolfgang had even managed to spar for against an upcoming Vizard for a single minute. Not even that spar was enough to entice him, or satisfy his hunger for knowledge and absolution. Wolfgang found the situation to be truly perplexing. When did the Soul Society become so unreliable? Tsukio Nazora, the lady of the house, and the Captain Commander, wasn't the type to let a bunch of Arrancar roam free in Karakura town, much less cause any trouble at all. Just how much has the Soul Society changed since the age of the Jackal? Was it even worth pondering about? Wolfgang was now more curious than ever, and to be honest, he wanted answers. Now would be a good time to send in some spies. The Shinigami that was captured would be perfect for that. Observing the Soul Society and gathering information through her. Wolfgang for the most part was in his quarters, a room with while tiles on the ground. These tiles were clean, and hardly gathered dust or sand, since the permitted cleaners were quite effective when cleaning. The room itself has four columns, one in each corner. And on each column, there were drawings and designs in a mixture of different colors. The drawings and designs depicted War, and most of all the confusion brought by it. The columns in sequence, depicted the rise of one particular Hollow, showing his life with his coming from nothing to be something truly special. This Hollow was quite the enigma, much like the Jackal himself. Many in the presence of the Jackal often made mentioned to the pictures, and the relations to the Jackal. Sitting down in north corner of the room, Wolfgang sat upon a rather comfortable chair. In this room a table took its place in the middle. Going back a little, as one enters the room the walls would be noticeable. These walls were all linked to the columns, and they too had paintings on them. This ensured that the story could be told in detail. All Wolfgang had to do was directly point to the paintings on the wall. By doing so, the man could tell the story behind each and every one of them. Even the most insignificant of details, was of the utmost importance. Every picture played a vital role in the telling of the story. From where the Jackal was sitting, a door was to his right, and this door lead to his chambers. The very chambers where his best was now located. Such a bed was fit for a man of the Jackal's stature, it was rather big in terms of size. And according to him, it was most comfortable to say the least. There he was sitting with his right hand resting on the right arm of the chair. The Jackal was slouching in his seat, obviously deep in thought. The light in the room was dim, not revealing his face too much. If anything it cast a shadow over his face. This effectively created a rather grim atmosphere, a place fit for a demon. The teal colored eyes of the Arrancar lit up in the room, and from his little corner. The Arrancar laid his eyes upon a bottle that was set upon his table. The bottle contained a certain alcoholic beverage. Rising from his feet, like a possessed person rising. The Jackal took several strides towards the bottle, now noticing that it wasn't the only bottle there. Two more bottles stood on this table, and for all intents and purpose, Wolfgang took the closest one. In no time at all, the man return to his seated position, before indulging himself in the alcoholic beverage. Wolfgang took two hefty gulps of the beverage, before going for an intermission. Looking around the area, Wolfgang noticed that his Fraccion, Luna Flores was mission. There was also another person missing, then again, another man and a rather troublesome woman playing the part of a Zanapakuto spirit. Amagiri Togusa and the fabled Saika. Wolfgang now had a grin on his face, his mind sharp. Feeling along the arm of he chair, the man soon pulled out the fangs of a deceased Hollow. Wolfgang began playing with the fangs of a fallen comrade, one that was long enough for a dagger. "I ought to have a chat with his grace. I hope good ol Niiro knows what he's derin. Then again, I do have some plans of my own, those that may be slower, but could still work to our advantage". It was now settled. The Espada needed to find a more quite and easy way to communicate with each other. The Soul Society has Hell Butterflies as a means of basic communication. Wolfgang along with his fellow Sombra Espada, may have to figure out an efficient way of communicating over long distances. The Jackal's Reiatsu levels soon sky rocketed, now a rather obvious sign that he was seeking some attention. The Jackal allowed his overwhelming spiritual pressure to flow out a little. The Reiatsu emitting from the man was truly abyssal, so much so that the table and other chairs shook, vibrating as they began moving from their previous position. Niiro needed to get back, and as soon as possible too. |
