Personality:
Skill Level: Swordsmanship: Advanced
Skill Level: Sonido: Intermediate
Skill Level: Hand-to-hand: Advanced
History/Background:
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Personality:
As one of the few medics in all of Hueco Mundo (It really is a thankless job) she's developed a wicked exterior to counter the rampant stupidity she found among Arrancar that come in injured (Yammy accounting for most of it), and doesn't take crap from people as one of the strongest of medics due to the necessity of appearing strong.Appearance:
She has wisdom for those who'll listen, though they may take a lashing from her tongue if they aren't careful in trying to get it.
She definitely keeps an air of mystery about her thanks to her abilities, and her murky past.
If she gets the opportunity to, she truly enjoys controlling people, and manipulating them, though how good she is at it is questionable as no one can say they know her real personality.
When it comes to combat, she truly disdains getting her hands dirty. She'll avoid combat at all costs, not because she's weak, but because people might gain more information on her than they might have.
She is completely vain, and does not like to appear in manner that displeases her, and if too many people dislike it, she'll grow irritated, and adapt.
Underneath her rough exterior there may be the heart of a woman, but she dares not allow it to be mass knowledge if she has a heart.
She is definitely not a woman to cross. She demands respect, and believes deeply in revenge. If she has the power, she'll assuredly take revenge against being slighted somehow, even if it meant rivaling the Espada in strength.
She has little intention of fighting anyone that doesn't piss her off directly, and thus dislikes being ordered to the front lines.
One of her most frightening aspects is that she has no solid appearance as one of the few true shape changers in Hueco Mundo.Arrancar Powers:
Her body is made of the liquid, and elastic material hollows are made out of, and due to that she can adjust the color, and texture of this material to look like virtually anyone in a manner similar to clay.
She rarely ever uses a form that has hollow plates on it nor for lack of ability, but simply because she lacks a taste for it.
She favors well built women, and brunettes in her main appearances.
Further she has a boob fetish that seems evident in favoring breasts that could give Halibel, Nel, and Rangiku a run for their money, what ever their bra size is.
She favors forms that stand at least 6ft tall in heels, and relishes how those heels make her lower body look much better, yet the heels don't manage to slow her down in the least.
Her weight varies, but normally meets the weight of what ever form she's taken be it a hideous hollow monster, a Menos Grande, or a human (wo)man.
Example appearances:
No one knows exactly -how- old she is, or even how long she's been in Las Noches. Aizen himself likely wasn't fully aware of her presence as she could change her appearances at will.
Regardless of appearances, she very nearly perfectly replicates what she looks like.
Shape alteration: As stated before, her major power is shape shifting to which she is highly proficient with it, but it only works on a cosmetic level, though her limitations in size, and mass appear to allow her to take something the size of a Menos Grande, though this is rarely done due to lack of size, and practicality.Natural Arrancar Powers:
She can become completely liquid at will, and lash out in a variety of ways to attack her opponent.
She can slash, stab, whip, and bludgeon opponents freely, and if she can enter a wound, she'll likely make her attack barbed for added damage.
A rare treat for her is when she knows a fear of her opponent, and can take the form of it, but that requires a lot more research than she's willing to do.
If she's split apart, or otherwise damaged, she does take damage, however she often covers this with the appearance of instant regeneration.
Regardless of appearances she can't become much harder than the bone fragments of other Espada her strength level. She can make a defense of it, but it's far from perfect.
While she can appear as anyone, she cannot duplicate abilities unless they're within her own abilities.
Using her amorphous nature for extravagant changes, and numerous changes can fatigue her as she expends energy to make these changes, but once she makes a change she can hold the shape indefinitely until it's damaged. Once that happens her true nature is often revealed as her wounds ooze black blood, and deep cuts so no innards, rather black material.
All in all, she can't change rapidly, and repeatedly or else she'll get tired as energy holds her together.
It's unknown what will happen if she looses all her energy, but it's likely that she'll collapse until she can regenerate.
Pieces removed from her retain their last shape, but cannot be controlled further.
Despite her amorphous, and seemingly delicate nature, she's exceptionally strong, able to throw people about easily, and liquid fast, making her a slippery opponent.
Acid Digestion: She has the ability to dissolve material like acid at will with prolonged contact, and this is how she fed when she were a mere hollow. She rarely uses this ability as she deems it messy, disgusting, and slow even though she can gain power through this.
Glancing blows made by this ability won't do a whole lot but burn slightly, but she can eat through nearly anything if she has the time.
Anything dissolved is broken down into sustenance for herself that helps her grow in power, and/or energy for her Death Injection ability mentioned later.
As a side effect she gains some insight into the life of what ever she digested, but this almost never happens lately as she never fully digests something alive.
Also while this ability she can take power from what she eats, and add it to her own, but it's extremely difficult to find anything worth eating that would raise her power enough to matter.
Another downside is that she only gains a fraction of the power of anyone devoured in this fashion, and some of their mind which may affect her personality.
Cero, and Cero Variants: one of her specialties is her Cero strength which is higher than most people of her power tier.Zampakuto's name:
She has access to many of the Cero including Gran Rey Cero, Cero Oscuras, as well as her own Cero variation, "Cero Artilleria," a barrage attack fired from multiple points on her body be they hands, eyes, or any limbs she creates, due to her amorphous nature.
This has 2 variations:
A blast all at once that divides the power of her impressive Cero power between blasts
A rapid fire version that is slightly more powerful than a typical Cero of her level, but with a gap between firing each blast, but each blast is as strong as a typical Cero of her level.
Regardless of form, she can adjust the output, color, and spread of her Cero at will.
She could be considered an expert at the art.
Bala: She has access to Bala, and is almost equally adept at using it as her Cero.
Lightning fork: She can adjust the flow of her Cero buildup across her body like an electric eel to deliver debilitating, painful stuns to her targets that can, eventually, knock a person out.
Likely designed as some crude anesthesia, but a fairly good weapon. She can tune the output of this attack as she can a Cero to fit her needs.
Death Injection: One of the abilities that made her a medic, she can stab into a person, and suck out their Reiatsu through the wound with an astounding capacity. She can fully drain almost anyone she uses this ability on, even if they're stronger than her. She claims that she's never been filled up, and that her capacity may well be infinite.
This energy, or her own supply can be redeposited into another person which heals them at a rate that depends on how much, and how fast she injects the energy.
She can heal nearly any wound in this manner, and is usually tidy enough to heal the injection site as it's almost never small.
On the downside it's a time consuming ability to use which makes it difficult to use on targets that fight back. It's like mosquito feeding, and trying not to be swatted in the process.
Further, she can't directly use the energy she syphons off a person to make herself stronger, but she can use it to heal herself, and replenish her fighting strength, and energy.
Death Injection can be used to pull spirit particles out of the air, and from things made from those particles similar to a Bount, but this has varying levels of potency due to various environments. Again, it cannot be used to directly increase her powers, rather she must use use the ability on herself. It's far easier, though.
This technique can be channeled through her Zanpakuto with no loss of efficiency.
Lastly, Death Injection can price even the toughest of Hierro, and steel as a necessity to inject some of the tougher Espada.
ExudeUn-released Zampakuto's Appearance:
Her Zanpakuto, like herself, can appear however she desires, and seems to have a near unlimited supply of material. Regardless of form, it's like a balloon in nature meaning that it cannot become heavier, or lighter regardless of it's shape, thus no matter what it weighs about 5 lbs.Resurrección Release phrase::
The transformations are strong enough to occur even in a person's body making her exceedingly deadly should she be able to stab a person, and leave the blade inside.
This doesn't mean she cannot redistribute it's balance to simulate extra mass in making hammers, picks, and clubs. It can liquify, and try to drown a person, though.
Unlike her, her Zanpakuto regenerates rapidly, and infinitely to it's original mass and is hard to destroy completely.
She tends to keep it hidden from plain sight, and only uses it openly when she feels like it. It can appear as part of her body, and that as her preferred method of attack.
The fact she never really shows off her Zanpakuto has caused some to believe she is not an Arrancar because they have their Zanpakuto out in the open somehow.
"El océano de la muerte"Resurrección Appearance::
Her resurreccion appearance is largely unchanged thanks to her amorphous nature. She doesn't even regain her old mask.Resurrección Abilities::
Her reiatsu power is increased accordingly to a resurreccion.Skill Level: Kidou: Intermediate
She gains no extra powers, but her increased Reiatsu output makes her harder to keep down, and all of her abilities increase in potency accordingly.
Further, like all resurreccion the process fully heals her.

History/Background:
Her life started like many natural arrancar. As a hollow.RP Sample:
Eating others, growing in strength, then repeating the proess.
Back in the early days she laid near mindless underneath the sands of Hueco Mundo like a camouflaged tar pit, and waited as an ambush predator for anything that stumbled across her.
It worked well as she ensnared nearby prey in her tentacles, pulled them into her pond like body, killed them, then digested them.
Sometimes they stepped on her, and sank into her to be digested.
Regardless, she grew in mass as she fed. This allowed her to capture larger prey over time.
As she gained more mass, she grew in power, and eventually more sentience, and intelligence.
She also seemed to have absorbed something of what ever she ate, and thus managed a personality, and a plethora of memory fragments from who the hollows were, some as a human, but mostly as their lives as hollows.
She arose, literally, from the muck, and became a more active predator as she slithered beneath the surface like a boat's keel in shape, and function.
Matanza, though she had no name at the time, began her path to glory!
She ate, and devoured, and gradually became a better, and better hunter. Faster, stronger, smarter! Onwards, and upwards she climbed the ladder of evolution towards the pinnacle of Hollowness. Onwards... to SHINIGAMIFICATION!!
Yet at that stage of her life, she had no idea what the heck it was or that it existed.
Time passed in this fashion. Who knows how long?
She just got stronger, and larger as she continued, and eventually she managed to suck down a Menos Grande! A lot of mass to say the least!!
It wasn't long until she sucked down Adjuchas as well.
It was at this point she became one of the only hollows that could attain an Adjuchas level of power, yet despite that, she retained her liquid form even though she could easily reshape herself as she saw fit.
Yes, her path taken was much like Aaroniero Arruruerie's own.
However, unlike Aaroniero she did not manage to luck out an eat anything close to a Shinigami, and she does not run the chance of becoming omnipotent.
Her power was incredible by her standards at this point. She could take nearly any form she desired, and she was nearly a sea unto herself if she desired to be, but she found that there was something she couldn't do...
She couldn't modify her hideous mask!! She caught a glimpse of it in her shiny surface for what felt like the first time, and was mortified!
She tried, and tried, but nothing would make her look any better!
In a bout of frustration, she -ripped- it off and unwittingly became an Arrancar. One of the rare first generation in a way, but she did not loose her liquid nature.
It did not bother her as now she had full control over what she looked like, and by removing her mask she found that she gained more, and new powers!! And a curious blade that resembled her in ability, but not sentient. It didn't try to eat her, and she didn't care to eat it.
She did not know that would happen, but she were infinitely glad it had even though she preferred her liquid state.
She resumed her hunting until approached by a curious being... He called himself "Aizen," and offered her more power, and more purpose.
Finally sufficiently bored, and offered better, she went along with his plan, and thus became some of the first Arrancar under his rule.
It's true he gave her power, but it wasn't enough for her. Never enough.
As Aizen made his palace, and created Arrancar to fill his army, and gathered powerful Hollows, some went missing.
Indeed, she devoured them. Mainly the weakest of them, first.
They didn't matter. They were weak, after all, and they killed each other anyhow.
She continued to get stronger...
This was repeated up until the point, when finally, she reached the point where it just got to hard to find targets that would be noticed, yet strong enough to help her.
Indeed, a gap appeared between her current strength, and the next level that she couldn't cross easily at all.
At this point Aizen discerned that thanks to her abilities to heal, abilities she had all along but never really used, that she would not become an Espada, rather the head medic.
At first she was bitter, angry, and jealous!! She saw others gain their followers, their Fraccion, and yet she had none! None of the appreciation the Fraccion offered their Espada!
She decided to enslave the medical staff to her will as many Fraccion were enslaved, but she saw the abuse that her staff received that she could do nothing about. The Espada were stronger than her, and continued to widen the gap!!
She began to strike at larger targets, and people started to notice the vanishing of more powerful persons, but were unsure of what to make of it.
She struggled to attain enough power to keep her staff safe from the barbaric Espada, and she got there, or so she hopes.
That is where she is now, occasionally getting in a meal, and training to get stronger.
~CRACK~, the sounds of a broken body rang out through the meager medical ward on Las Noches.
A place that saw only a bit of use as Arrancar were to full of themselves to visit unless they lost something really important, or were weak in general while they put out a strong front.
The body of a medic flew across the room, and smashed into a wall with a sickening thud.
"USELESS!!" a male voice cried out, "Someone HEAL me NOW!!" he demanded. Some Arrancar that hadn't learned from the others. Likely new, and as stupid, and brutish as the rest. He sat on the white stone slab clutching his side which bore a large burn on it.
"Now, now, you be patient, and not so rough on my staff..." a woman's voice seemed to come from nowhere. The source was a place where there were only shadows. It was Matanza, one of the ranking members of the medical staff, if not the leader who made Fraccion out of everyone below her that was an arrancar.
"FUCK YOUR STAFF! Train more peons! I don't care!!!" he snarled at her as he clutched his wound that obviously hurt a lot. Likely delivered by some Shinigami he underestimated.
"Oh, if it were only that-" she continued but was unable to as the brutish male cut her off.
"What part of I don't care don't you grasp, WOMAN?" he shouted at her as he turned to face her. He laid eyes upon a stunning, tall, busty woman that took his breath away, and she walked right for him with a sway of her hips, and
"My name is Matanza... Just relax... this won't hurt a bit," she said as her hand reformed into a syringe, "I'll do some real nice healing," she put on a sultry smile.
The man grunted, "That's better, woman!" he narrowed his eyes at her angrily, and impatiently, "Maybe I can give you an injection of my own?" he sneered at her.
She smiled, then slid the needle into his back with little care.
"Damn, woman! That hurts! Be careful, or I'll be hurting you with my own sta-ULK!!" his voice was choke off as his head flew back, and stared at the ceiling as a black spike erupted from his mouth, and his body convulsed as it began to die.
A blast of electricity lit him up like a star on a Christmas tree, and made him dance on the slab as his eyes rolled back, then it stopped as soon as it came
She leaned in to whisper into his ear as he were forced to look at her over his shoulder, "Don't die yet..." She said then began to syphon the energy out of his choking body with a small smile. She watched him the whole time. Nae, she studied him as he weakened, and studied the fear in his eyes as she saw them look a her, pleading for mercy as he felt his life literally sucked from his body, and spikes inside his body rend his organs.
Just before sweet merciful death, she suddenly jerked her arm which had impaled him so thoroughly, and flung him outside the medical room where he slammed into the wall across from the door in the same sickening thud his last victim made.
He heard the rapping of heels on the floor as they resonated through the halls, but to his dying ears they sounded like the booming footsteps of a monster. His gaze rose from the floor to her feet, then up the legs that seemed to go on forever as his head slowly tilted to look at her.
"S-Spare m-" he tried to choke out the words from his wounded throat.
But she interrupted him with a hard stomp to the face that cracked the wall with the back of his skull, then moved her foot to his chest where she leaned in on him.
Her hand raised slowly, and he flinched, and nearly whimpered as she swiped her hand towards the door where he saw a sign that was blurry thanks to him barely being conscious at this point, but it came into view.
"Hey, can you read that? Read it to me..." she commanded him.
"D-don't... hurt... the ... staff," he said questioningly to her and realized why she had hurt him so badly, "I-I understand..." he turned his gaze to her to begin to ask for healing, but the look on her face said otherwise.
"Good boooy..." she cooed at him with a smile, then frowned sharply, "now... DIE!" her eyes that suddenly glared death at him now did so literally as they flashed red, and blasted his head with a pair of Cero.
The impact made his body flail, and jerk a bit as he took the impact, and twitch postmortem like an injured insect.
The light of the red cero faded, and revealed his head was now a messy, gory spot in the wall. His neck spurted blood as his body went limp.
She stabbed him once more with her hand, and create a large hole in his chest, then she pulled out the last of his energy.
Her bloody hand was pulled from his chest... no she didn't do something as stereotypical as to rip out his organs, instead she flicked off the blood with a disgusted look on her face, then she turned to walk back into the medical room. She paused at the door with the view squarely on her legs, and butt.
Around that time a pair of arrancar men rounded the corner at the hall, and saw the body she left.
"HOLY SHIT!! WHAT THE FUCK?!!! SERIOUSLY?!!" one of them shrieked at the bloody, headless body that sat against the wall.
"Yeah, man..." the other said with more calm, but he was freaked out to be so close to a dead comrade. He then pointed to the sign, "He fucked with the medical unit," his voice quivered.
The both looked at the sign that said "Don't hurt the staff", but there was something else, something amended... "or you'll pay!!!" was written in blood below the sign.
Both freaked by the sicko that left such a grisly warning, they hurried on their way.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Matanza walked over to her fallen comrade, then knelt by her.
She injected her gently with a needle to the arm like some human doctor might their patient.
Her underling looked up with an "I'm dying" sad look on her cute face, eyes filled with unspoken regrets, "Matanza..." she said softly.
"There, there..." she said in a soothing voice as she stroked her underling's face, "I'm here for you," she added to comfort her while she fed her abuser's life force into the body, and healed her. She snatched her from death's door in a hurry.
Her underling's body was nowhere near as strong as her abuser's so it didn't take all of his power to heal her. Matanza smiled warmly as she saw vitality return to the woman's body.
"As I tried to explain to him, it's not that easy to train new staff, and, well, good help is so hard to find..." She helped her underling up gently.
"M-Matanza!" she nearly wept at the rare mercy she'd been given, but her eyes widened with surprise as she were grabbed by the collar, then hauled most unwillingly towards the darkness of the room. Darkness that hid the door to her quarters.
"MATANZA?!!" she shrieked in fear! She'd never been in her leader's quarters, and the roughness made her question why she were going.
"You, my sweet, need to be toughened up... Can't have a repeat of this, can we?" Matanza said calmly as she dragged the woman behind her like she were luggage on wheels.
"Buh-But-" she said with a quivering voice as she were pulled into the darkness, and a black tentacle slithered around her neck.
The medic whimpered in fear.
Moments later the medic underling screamed!
(As stated before, staff input is welcome! )
