History/Background:
Age: 350
Gender: Male
Personality:
Adan is a prankster. The guy loves his jokes, and serious moments seem lost on him. Whenever he meets anyone who seems like they're stoic, or quiet, friend or foe, he can be counted on to make a nuisance of himself. One of his favorite jokes by far is used only on people who don't already know about his missing left hand; he has a habit of tapping on unsuspecting shoulders while holding a serious expression.Appearance:
While he usually mantains a sunny disposition, Adan has rare bouts of depression (which usually occur after he loses a major fight). During these bouts he loses his sunny disposition and wears the same, weak smile as his prankster ways fly south for the winter. Getting him out of these bouts are awkward and unpleasant for all involved.
When he fights, he makes a habit of teasing his opponents relentlessly. His jocular ways are not lost on foes, even when he's losing. However, he is quite the sore loser; instead of using it as a motive to grow stronger, he pouts about it. He doesn't begin to pout during the actual fight unless he's pulled away. While fighting isn't his first choice when it comes to interaction, he shows very little to no reluctance once he actually gets to the violence.
At first, he treats everyone with the same amount of respect. Or lackthereof. While he may respect some people more than others, his childish pranks are merely toned down as opposed to disappearing completely. Life is a game to Adan, his superiors are not excluded in any way, shape, or form.
Arrancar Powers:
Perhaps one of the more noticable features of Adan is his lack of a left hand. Permanantly right handed, his stub looks like the end of his bone was simply covered by a seamless rubber wrapping. This is second only to his blue-tinted, raven-colored hair. The tips of each lock are blue. His hair falls around just below his head, peices of it covering his right eye.
He nearly always seems to have a big, stupid grin on his face. Especially when he's telling jokes. His features are round and immature, his face seems to be that of a twelve or thirteen year old boy's. Not to mention that Adan is about five foot four, making him fairly short. He has a lanky build that only adds to the image of a thirteen or twelve year old boy.
His eyes are big blue orbs resting in his skull. They're usually soft, making him look kinder than he actually is. His pupils are always large as well, not to mention the outside of his irises are outlined with black.
His arrancar uniform is the same old hakama and a white arrancar jacket which he usually keeps closed. The jacket has a neckpeice that could be conceived as an oversized turtleneck, based on the fact that it covers his neck but extends outwards like a cone. There is an opening down the center of the jacket, and two black lines sprouting out from below his ribcage, each wrapping around his back.
His mask fragment is a piece that wraps around his forhead, like a crown of sorts. The mask fragment is tinted with a golden hue, and right in the center of his forehead there is a red piece that looks almost like a ruby. His hollow hole is located right where his heart should be, and is about the size of an average baseball.
Just the usual.Natural Arrancar Powers:
Cero - Oddly enough, Adan fires his ceros from his stump of a left hand, and due to his reiatsu being colored blue, his ceros are also blue.Zanpakuto's name:
In resurreccion, he fires his ceros from the main spine of his sword; seeing as his stump becomes his feather-like sword.
Bala - Bala is an Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate, but the damage is much the same. (Again, blue in color, fired from the stump.)
Pájaro de Risa (bird of laughter)Un-released Zanpakuto's Appearance:
Strangely enough, Pájaro de Risa is the shape of a feather, and roughly the length of a wakizashi. (18 inches). A long, slightly curved spine connects the many smaller blades that make up what would be like the fibers of a feather. Each blade is more like a needle than anything else, being about as thin as an average sewing needle, but four inches long with a lone point at the end. The handle is five inches long; just large enough for Adan to grip it with one hand. The entire blade is the same shade of silver.Resurrección Release phrase::
The blade is kept in a leather sheath that closely resembles a potato sack for some unexplainable reason.
"Laugh, Pájaro de Risa."Resurrección Appearance::
Upon entering release, Adan's sword disinegrates, losing the needle-like spines that create the 'hairs' on the feather of a sword, and then the spine itself shatters.
(Cracking up. Get it? Laughter? I know, it's terrible. xD)
His mask fragment will extend to not only wrap around his head like an entire crown, but will also tilt upwards, causing his hair to appear somewhat spiky in the front. A streak of red will show in one of his locks of hair, a streak of green in the other. A final streak of cyan blue is on another lock of hair, making him look as though his hair was spray painted.Resurrección Abilities::
He loses his jacket, in its place gray feathers grow. Each feather can be compared to that of a laughing kookaburra. From his arms, dark brown feathers sprout, stopping just before his wrists. Once again, Adan's feathers resemble that of a kookaburra. On his face, no feathers grow, although he does have two brown markings that circle each of his eyes.
Attatched to his left stump is a sword similar to the one that he had before entering resurreccion. The difference in this sword is the lack of a handle, seeing as it is now a part of his arm and a handle would be superfluous. The other difference in the sword is that the color changes from silver to bronze.
(It should be noted that his feathers don't serve any immediate purpose.)
Shedding Feathers: Adan can shed his feathers, creating a smokescreen of them that drift out in about a five meter radius. While they don't do anything besides take up space, make for good exits and so on and so forth, Adan likes to trick people into THINKING they do something, as if they explode on contact. The feathers grow back over a span of three posts.Skill Level: Kidou: Advanced
Bala de Pájaro: Adan's resurrección allows him to take a new spin on a bala, causing him to create a feather-shaped bala that appears similar to his zanpakuto sealed form. As opposed to being a shaped version of a regular bala, the sword will remain for a few seconds before 'evaporating.' Unfortunately, the sword can be weilded by anyone within Adan's tier or above, though Adan makes a point of laughing hysterically should an opponent appear shocked at the sword evaporating. (The sword lasts for one round of posts)
Dark laugh: When Adan laughs with malicious intent, he focuses reiatsu through his mouth and it releases black rings of hardened reiatsu that cause bludgeoning damage when they hit something (sorta like getting hit with a sheathed sword). The rings are about two and a half feet in diameter, five inches thick on every side before the inner part is simply a gap. The rings can travel about fifteen meters before they simply fade away; if they touch anything from that far away, they shatter, doing no damage. It should be noted that these rings can be cut in two by someone stronger or the same level (and slowed by someone somewhat weaker). (Can be used every other post, five times total)

History/Background:
Once upon a time, Adan was a soul with a major problem, that problem being an inner hollow who had more control than Adan would have liked. Because his reiatsu levels were low at the time, and his inner hollow was the only source of power he had, he found himself at the mercy of his inner hollow and just about any person with power that he came across. One day, he was actually consumed by a hollow before his inner hollow had a chance to force him into his mask. In short, it was like suicide; it was a feeble attempt to die before his inner hollow could get him. UNFORTUNATELY, he didn't know that a hollow eating his soul would mean he turned into one, so it was a lose-lose situation.RP Sample:
As a hollow, he still retained a few faint memories of his decision, and hell, he'd have slapped himself in the face if he had actual arms and not those stupid, pterodactyl-like wings. It may have been his inner hollow that was making him so power-hungry that he ate nearly every hollow he came across, as well as a soul or two. He had managed to sneak into the human world once, although he was quick to search for a way back to Hueco Mundo. Nearly five seconds after he managed to get back, a cero blasted his left wing off. Apparently he had popped into a place where a large mass of hollows were battling, each bloodthirsty as hell, and he found himself eating as many as possible. Not long after, he, along with three other hollow, had become a gillian.
There wasn't much to be said about Adan's life as a gillian; he simply drifted around the land until he had eaten enough hollow to grow into an adjuchas.
As an adjuchas, he was frustrated to learn that his left arm hadn't fully regrown after all the years that he had been gaining reiatsu. At the time, he was also frustrated to learn that his powers were seemingly useless. The only way he could actually hurt people was by laughing? Was that some sort of sick joke? It must've been...
Becoming an arrancar--with the help of a certain traitor of a shinigami--was a decision Adan had made, soley for the reason that he wanted his left hand back. And again--just his luck--the hogyoku method? It did zilch for Adan's left hand. The first second he looked at himself in his seemingly human form, he yelled out, "WHAT THE HELL!? WHY THE HELL DON'T I HAVE A LEFT HAND?!"
Not long after that incident, he found himself happily engaging in annoying anyone he saw; just for the hell of it. He found that his stump made some people uneasy; he found that people found it creepy. Something about the surprised looks on people's faces when they seemed shocked was addicting. Something about laughter was tantalizing. He wanted to see it again; with that, a prankster was born.
Blue eyes, blue-tinted hair, a stump in the place of a left hand. In whatever order the victim of Adan's next prank would see them, they would become obvious. The arrancar wandered the human world, though he was sure if any of his superiors found him, they'd have his head. The second that the right-handed arrancar saw a human, fiddling with her laptop on a bench, he smiled widely. She had reiatsu, that was for sure, and as he strode over to her, his smile slowly began to fade.
He didn't stide in front of the unsuspecting hacker, instead he waltzed behind her, concealing his reiatsu so as not to appear to be a threat. Slowly he extended his stump of a left hand, letting it hover over the human's shoulder for all of a second before he tapped her on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing?" in a monotone.
In reality, he could care less what she was doing, so long as he got her to jump in surprise. However, he was the one who was shocked when the girl jumped up in shock herself and instead of screaming about his hand, she screamed something else entirely:
"IT WASN'T ME!" She yelled, slamming her lap top shut. She turned around, and suddenly the frantic expression just disappeared, exchanged for a calmer one. "Wait, who are you?"
Adan fell backwards with surprise, stump still extended and his monotonous look exchanged for one filled with shock as he laid, back flat on the ground.
