General Information
--------------------
Name: Jerónimo ‘Hatter’ Cubitt
Actual Age: 260
Appearing Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Arrancar
Rank: Privaron Espada
Number: 105
Appearance
Like most Arrancar, Hatter wears a custom uniform. His appears to be wearing a white straitjacket, a garment shaped like a jacket with overlong sleeves. The ends of the sleeves can be tied to the back of Hatter, so that his arms are kept close to the chest with possibility of only little movement. Though he can have them tied, they are always loose, and at the end of each sleeve are small blades sewed in. He had them sewed in so when he slaps someone with the sleeves, they could scratch them. The straps on the jacket are black with silver metal rings and latches.
His pants are very loose, with many tears and patched up holes in them. They are white sewed with black string, and the patches are normally red or other dark colored fabrics. His Hollow hole is in the middle of his chest, it is about the size of a baseball, and has a cross like scar around it. His Hollow remains are a funny looking bow tie around his neck. It is white, fairly large and silly looking.
***Now for the best part of his out fit, his hat. It is a classic looking black velvet top hat and has a white grosgrain band This elegant top hat has a slight flair in the top of its 6 1/2" crown and a 2 1/2" grosgrain hatband at the base. The 2 1/2" gently curled brim is bound with 5/8" grosgrain trim. Inside the hat band is a card with 10/6 written on it, giving him more of the feel of the book character he portrays. This however is something he added, just to give people something to think about.
He is good looking, if one can get past his faults. His skin is pale by lack of sun; he has black rings under his eyes from lack of sleep, and has a very lean physic. He is fairly tall, about 6’2”, and looks as if he weighs about 90 lbs. His violet purple hair has orange highlights, and is very unkempt and wild with a pair of dark orange sideburns. His eyes are sapphire blue with a glassy look, almost like doll eyes. He doesn’t wear anything on his feet, only because he doesn’t see the point. Always having to put them on and taken them off, it doesn’t seem like fun.
Personality
What can I say, the guy is the living embodiment of the Mad Hatter. He is so crazy to the point of sanity. I know that doesn’t really make sense, but that’s who he is. He is an excellent actor, being able to change his attitude at any given moment, changing his voice, emotion, into a completely different person. This however doesn’t mean he has split personality, he just likes to act. This can cause some problems with certain people, mainly those with very little patience. For the majority of his encounters, he usually acts like a child. Usually hyperactive, easily bored, and is typically lacking in the patience department.
Hatter is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and games. With this self-conscious use of a gimmick, the Hatter’s games are flamboyant and ostentatious. He is often seen holding a different brain challenging game, such as a rubix cube. He will even talk in riddles, answering questions in riddles, or not talk to someone until they solve his riddle. His intellect may be the cause of his mad behavior, has most geniuses typically are at one point. He may even rival Szayel with his mind, though it is hard to tell seeing as he talks nonsense half the time.
Hatter is typically portrayed as a smooth-talking, yet quirky, victim of an intense obsessive compulsion. Once he begins something, he can’t help but finish it. This has caused problems with orders, making those he is with either having to knock him out and drag him away, or leave him behind. He is not a psychopathic murderer; rather, he is a malignant narcissist with an ego that rivals or may even surpass that of the Szayel.
He likes almost anyone he meets at first, usually becoming friends with almost anyone. The problem with him is that they need to be interesting to him, and once they become a bore he’ll just dump them. However when he is still friends with them, he’ll fight for them, and even go has far as become their shield.
History
Here is a tale of Madness and confusion, in which one may start off as sane but leave a tad bit insane. It starts like most stories, in the beginning, we will focus on the simple young man. He was a happy man, who had a loving wife, and a child on the way. He was on top of the world, he had gotten a new opportunity at work, but this was just the first step in his madness. His boss put tons of pressure on our young man, causing him to miss several important events, such has the birth of his child. He had only worked so hard because he wanted to make his new family happy. His wife understood at first but after he missed event after event, she soon became less understanding.
That is when the worst day in his life happened. It was a simple mistake, something his boss has done many times. His boss was furious, yelled at the young man. He just kept yelling and yelling and yelling, until something finally snapped in the young mans head. He looked around his tiny desk and grabbed a feathered ink pen. He started to smile, it was a wicked smile, and he looked up at his unsuspecting boss. With one swift motion, he stabbed his boss with the pen, going deep in his eye, crimson shot out on the young mans face, and his boss finally fell. He stood over his boss’s body, the pen sticking out from the dead mans eye socket. At first he couldn’t believe what he just did, but something deep inside him came out. He started to laugh, not just any laugh, it was a laugh of a mad man.
He finished his work, while talking to his dead boss, until it was closing time. He put on his top hat, his coat, and walked home. The few people who were on the street that night, saw the blood on his face, and ran from the sight of him. He just tipped his hat at them until he finally made it home. He walked in, put his hat and coat on the rack, and joyously called out to his wife. She didn’t come down the stairs, or from the kitchen. He looked everywhere for his loving wife but found no one. What he did find was the next step that leads him deeper into madness, it was a note. This note was from his wife, saying that she took their daughter and left the country. He looked at this note, that wicked smile escaped his face once more, and grabbed a pen. He took the note and wrote in large dark numbers 10/6 on it. He placed it in his hat, going outside once more, and he went on a happy walk. He would stop at a random man and ask them a riddle. Each time one got it right, he would let them go, however he killed every man who couldn’t answer his riddles. He did this for over an hour tell the police came and took him to the mad house. He stayed in that cell, loving his new jacket, tell he finally committed suicide.
Now we enter the point in the story where our young man becomes something more. He loved the fact that he could walk through walls, messing with certain inmates that could still see him, and even messing with the staff. He couldn’t believe the joy of being dead has brought him, if he had know about it earlier he would have killed himself sooner. This lasted for several months, people called his cell haunted and would even avoid if they could. At one point his chain eroded to the point where he started to transform into the creature known as a Hollow.
Intermission. Please feel free to go and get a snack. ^^
After several years, a certain Gillian awoke from its long simple mindedness. It looked around to see the new world it was in, and decided to have some fun. It first took liberty at devouring the others he was with to satisfy its hunger. It had satisfied him at first but he needed to eat more, much more. He didn’t like the fact that he had to spend most of his time eating rather then having fun. It was when he started to realize a certain power change inside him.
It felt like fun, so he decided to continue with his consumption of others. At one point he had a territory in the forest of the Menos, he had control over a small group of Gillians making them dance and bring him party guest. After these parties, he would eat his guest in a wonderful display of madness. It was all he could do to entertain himself, asking his guest riddles before their demise, and even letting some go if they got it right.
Oh how he enjoyed his parties, but than the rumors happened to pass his ears. The Adjucha wanted to see if these rumors of greater power were true. He was hoping that if he could get rid of this hunger he could finally have some real fun. He grabbed a quick bite and left for what he called Wonderland, Las Noches. He skipped along the way, quickly getting rid of those in his way just for the fun of it.
Now we enter the ending of the story, which would be considered part of a new beginning, but lets not go into such a quandary. He underwent a strange procedure which seemed to take forever, tell finally the bandage like material cracked leaving a New Arrancar behind. At that point he was asked his name, but he couldn’t think of one. “Call me Hatter.” Was all he could think of at the time and it satisfied his creators for now, and he decided to throw himself a welcome party to a new beginning.
After he found his place in Las Noches, our hero met several new friends. First was Mr. Bat(Ulquiorra), his new boss that lets him be himself to a degree. He met Door Mouse(Celia) and the Tweedle Twins (Neva and Adela), plus the White Queen’s(Halibel) Chess Pieces (Sun Sun, Mila-Rose, and Apache.). During each encounter, he’s made a doll of the occasion, which he presents to his new friends, with varied results. Among his ‘friends’ Hatter met his successor, Caterpillar (Szayel) who he loves to point out every time they meet. Caterpillar had March Hare (Xuan), another one of Hatter’s friends, and tells him to respect his successor.
As often as he can, Hatter made a game in which he met his friends. At his most recent game, Hatter met the Red Queen(Arja) who came with the Cheshire Cat(Grimmjow) and the White Queen who came with her Pieces. It was a glorious Game, in which he challenged his friends to a series of mental and physical challenges where the results surprised even him.

Arrancar Abilities
Hat Trick #1: Nothing in my hat
- Description of Attack - By removing his hat and placing the open end of the hat in front of the up coming attack, it is sucked into the hat like light in a black hole. Once the energy is fully absorbed, he can then fire it back at the shooter.
- Type - Offensive/Defensive
- Range - Close/Long
- Limitation - He can absorb almost any type of energy based attack, but no more then one at a time. He can absorb an attack that is a lower tier with little effort, but is far more difficult with those of the same level has him. He can’t absorb any attack that is a higher tier then his own. It usually takes about thirty seconds to a minute to fully absorb the attack, and then another thirty seconds to fire it back. When he is absorbing the energy in his hat, Hatter can’t move leaving him open for attacks. He can use this technique up to ten times during a fight.
Contortionist
Description of Attack: Hatter is triple jointed through out his body. Hatter can basically bend his body in various angles, giving him an advantage in close quarters combat. His body is absorbent enough to withstand concussive forces capable of rendering most individuals unconscious. He can bend his spine forward and backward in an odd display of flexibility. Able to bend himself into every imaginable (and even some unimaginable, like inside his own top-hat) position, Hatter is a formidable opponent.
Type: Passive
Range: Self
Limitations: He is only limited to the point of how small the space he is trying to fit in is. If he can’t fit his head in it then he can’t bend his body into it. Except for his hat, it is just strange how he can get in there.
Doppelhatter
- Description of Attack - Hatter one and true friend, his shadow. Being able to freely manipulate his shadow is not what this power is about, it is about needing someone to gather information or play with. Doppelhatter can interact with the physical plane for short periods of time, move on its own, and even blend into others shadows. Much like poltergeist, Doppelhatter will often play tricks by messing with others shadows or pretend to be the shadow of an Espada or other important figure walking down the hall.
- Type - Espionage
- Range - Close/Long
- Limitation - To interact with Doppelhatter, Hatter needs to be in some sort of light that cast a shadow. If he is in a dark room Doppelhatter can not emerge or be played with. Doppelhatter can only interact on the physical plane or be away from Hatter for no more five minutes at a time. When the five minutes are up, Doppelhatter swiftly makes his way back to Hatter, which will reveal Hatters location to his enemy. Doppelhatter can not attack or use any special attacks on others, but can act like he can. Doppelhatter can morph but is limited by how far his shadow self can stretch.
--------------------
Zanpakutō
--------------------
Name: Loco Sombrerero
Translation - Mad Hatter
Call Out Phrase: Tip yourself, Loco Sombrerero!
Translation - Tip yourself, Mad Hatter!
Appearance
Funny thing is, Hatter’s Zanpakuto fits him to a key. You guessed it, his Zanapkuto is his hat. Strange thing about his hat, is he can fit his entire body in it. No one knows how he does it, but he manages to get in there some how. ***See description in appearance.
His battle style with his hat can be a little unorthodox. Being able to pull random weapons from it, such as a large mallet, chainsaw, flash bombs shaped like marbles or waffles. These weapons are of his design but can't hold their own against a zanpakuto, however the real beauty behind his hat is its flying guillotine ability. By pulling the card out of his hat, Hatter can swing his hat to either cut or attempt to get his victim's head in his hat to remove it. The chain is twelve feet in length, but is very thin looking almost like a necklace chain.
--------------------
Resurrección
--------------------
Appearance
Once he utters his release phrase, his hat literally swallows him leaving itself behind. He stays like this for a good thirty seconds, tell smoke begins to seep from the bottom of the hat. That is when the hat pops in the air revealing the new Hatter.
He pops out of his hat no longer the pale skinned man he once was. His skin is now pitch black, face and everything including his hair. He is like a living shadow, except for the obvious white parts. He wears a pitch black suit, white cuffs, and gloves. His eyes, and teeth are blinding white, and when he opens his mouth it is completely black. His hat appears to be attached to his head, being has black as everything else about him, the hatband is white, and the card in his hat is still their but it is blank.
He is two and a half feet taller in height, appears to be skinnier in the waist area, but has broader shoulders.
Abilities
Hat Trick #1: Nothing in my hat(retained)
- Description of Attack - By removing his hat and placing the open end of the hat in front of the up coming attack, it is sucked into the hat like light in a black hole. Once the energy is fully absorbed, he can then fire it back at the shooter.
- Type - Offensive/Defensive
- Range - Close/Long
- Limitation - He can absorb almost any type of energy based attack, but no more then one at a time. He can absorb an attack that is a lower tier with little effort, but is far more difficult with those of the same level has him. He can’t absorb any attack that is a higher tier then his own. It usually takes about thirty seconds to a minute to fully absorb the attack, and then another thirty seconds to fire it back. When he is absorbing the energy in his hat, Hatter can’t move leaving him open for attacks. He can use this technique up to ten times during a fight.
Hat Trick #2: Hypnotic Madness
- Description of Attack - By aiming his hat at his opponent, the top of his hat opens releasing a spiraling energy. It is black and white continuous spiraled energy. The energy hits the intended victim/victims, causing certain hallucinogenic effect over them. During the time they are under the ‘madness‘ they see the world as a living nightmare, something they would fear deep in their subconscious. During this time allies look like monsters, and could be attacked.
- Type - Offensive
- Range- Close/Long
- Limitation - He can do this up to four times a day(thread). This technique can affect up to six people at once, and it typically doesn’t affect those that are at power tier above him. The beam moves rather slow compared to other beam attacks making it easily avoided at long range. The beam itself starts off the size of the hat, but gradually gets wider the further it gets, like ripples in a pond. The ripples go has far has ten yards, no further. The charge time is about the same for his Cero, about thirty seconds. The hallucinogenic effect usually last for four minutes per person. The person could attack during the time they are under the hallucinogenic effects, it all depends on how they view their intended target.
Hat Trick #3: Find the Hatter
- Description of Attack - This technique is based off the ‘Ball in a cup’ game. Hatter is engulfed by his hat, almost as if he is eaten. After this the hat begins to move from side to side creating three addition hats. After the hats are made, a pair of white gloved hands begins to move them around, switching the location of each hat faster and faster until the hats are no longer in the same spot. After the hats stop, they are seven feet tall versions of Hatter’s hat and that is where the game begins. The opponent must now pick a hat that they believe Hatter is under, but they must pick wisely because of they pick the wrong hat it may be the last mistake they make.
Here is a list of what might happen when they pick a hat:- Hatter is under the hat, he pops out from the top of the hat dazed from the attack. This gives a chance to attack him.
- The hat blows up in a burst of confetti that dazes the opponent for only a second. This gives Hatter a chance to counter or escape.
- The hat’s top pops open like a Jack in the Box, where a large version of Hatter’s head comes out. It has a sign that ‘Gotcha’ on it and it begins to glow blowing up in a small explosion.
- Nothing happens.
- Type - Defensive/Offensive
- Range - Close
- Limitation - Limited to only Four hats at a time and making only three sets a day. Each hat is easily destroyed and if one is capable of it, can attack more then one hat at a time. While under a hat, Hatter can not attack or defend himself. When his opponent hit’s the right hat, Hatter is dazed for a few seconds as he is tossed up from his own technique. The explosion is small blinding light, much like a flash grenade and deals little to no damage. If anything the damage is so minimal, that it is unnoticed. The Confetti blast is only there for entertainment purposes and causes nothing more then a nuisance, especially when the confetti stays on you afterwards.

Sample Post
--------------------
“Boring, so boring. Why are you so boring?” The voice came from behind a locked door. However that wasn’t the only thing heard from inside the room. Faint cries could be heard, if one listened closely. That is when the door slammed open in a loud crash. “I’ll be back when you get more interesting.” That voice came from an oddly dressed man, but he had a great hat. He was a tall slender man, wearing a straitjacket, and no sandals. His pale skin shows he doesn’t see the sun often. The violet hair escaped from under his hat, and showing some odd choice in highlights, orange. Inside the room was just a mirror, nothing else.
He moved down the hall, swaying his arms back and forth while he looked for something entertaining to do. Once in awhile he would twist his spine in such a disturbing way it would cause some to become sick just by watching. “Hey, what’s that?” He yelled jumping up and allowing his spine to twist back into place, making a cracking sound has it completed its 180. He then ran toward the source of his outburst, with such excitement he seemed like a child. He stopped at the object of his excitement, a small red sphere that had a certain gleam to it. He bent over backwards, between his legs, and picked up the sphere with his right hand.
He looked at sphere between his covered his hand, eyeballing it like it was the center of the universe. “What are you?” He asked it waiting for it to respond. He waited for a couple hours, his patience seeming to be long lasting, but soon it turned for the worst. “HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME? YOUR DEAD TO ME!” In a fit of rage, he tossed the sphere across the hall, bouncing off the wall, and coming straight back at him with incredible speed.
He twisted back to his standing position, and caught the sphere in his sleeved covered hand. He liked this thing even more now that it can bounce, it gave him a wicked smile. “I don’t know why you insisted on coming back, but I glad you did. I missed you.” He said that last part while wiping a tear from his eye. It was a strange behavior that made Hatter the way he is. It was a certain enigma that surrounded him, it was very annoying at times but he didn’t care.
He walked back to his room bouncing his new friend, up and down. He hummed a slight tune, spinning his head like one would have seen in the exorcist or from an owl. When he moved closer to his room, his head back in its original position, he tripped over nothing. It was an over dramatic fall, almost in slow motion, as he went down chest landing first, and his legs going over his back with his feet hanging close to his shoulders. The bouncing sphere was left unattended, bouncing away from Hatter. He reached out for it, screaming no, but he just couldn’t reach it. “Don’t leave me, I love you.” He said has the sphere bounced out of site.
He picked himself up and entered his room with small tears in his eyes. He wiped them away, looking around his empty room, that’s when a gleam came back to his eyes. He was looking in the mirror he was talking to earlier, his smile came back, and he clapped his hands joyously. “I glad you aren’t boring anymore. Let’s play a game.” He closed the door behind him, with his bare foot, and began the event all over again.
