Ulquiorra Schiffer

[Haru Suzuki]

Name: Ulquiorra Schiffer
Age: unknown
Gender: Male
Personality:

Ulquiorra is a very cold, callous, dispassionate figure, and is rather aloof, brooding, and indifferent, willing to harm both his comrades and enemies should they ever get in his way. He refers to anyone he does not find interesting as "trash" and treats them as expendable. Despite this, like most of the other top Espada, he is not particularly violent and will only fight when provoked or ordered to by Aizen. (Aizen is gone now so should be different)

Ulquiorra has a strange habit of killing victims by stabbing them in the same area of his hollow hole with his bare hands.
Whether he is consciously aware of this habit or not is unknown. During a speech to Orihime, he claims he cannot believe in human emotions, which he refers to as the "heart", reasoning that if his eye cannot see them, then they do not exist.

These words, and much of Ulquiorra's overall behavior, can lead one to assume that he is a firm believer in the concept of materialism, which also connects to his aspect of death as an Espada, nihilism.


His cold nature allows him to stay completely calm and it is almlost never when Ulquiorra is caught-off guard or suprised. However, he does not seem to comprehend the human trait of fighting against all odds or the very concept of a Human heart/emotions; during his latest battle with Ichigo, he completely overwhelms the Shinigami after releasing his Zanpakut¨­, yet Ichigo continues to fight on regardless. This briefly causes him to lose his cool, causing him to shout at Ichigo out of frustration that "to continue fighting is pointless". He then transforms into his Segunda Etapa form in an attempt to show him "true despair". He also seems to contradict himself, telling Ichigo that it's natural for humans to mimic hollow to become stronger, but they will never be the equal of hollows, though the Arrancar are doing much of the same by imitating Shinigami.

Ulquiorra has some connection and relationship with Ichigo in a very twisted way. Ulquiorra completely resents how Ichigo fights pointlessly with his so called "emotions".

Ulquiorra is also highly perceptive, cunning, and analytical; during his and Yammy's first visit to the human world, he makes several surprisingly accurate remarks on the humans who confronted them. He theorizes that Orihime Inoue's healing power is a temporal-spatial ability, which Aizen later describes as the rejection of fate, and comments on how Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai can easily cut through Yammy's defenses. He also notes Ichigo's power fluctuation, which varies between very weak and stronger than his own.

Ulquiorra also seems to have a very demanding manner. When he visited Orihime to deliver her food, he threatened to force the food down her throat when she hesitated. This also implies that, while he prefers not to dirty his hands, Ulquiorra is fully capable of committing truly abhorrent and inhumane actions without feeling any shred of remorse or hesitation.

(The Bleach story line
After Ichigo's hollow form overwhelms and strikes him down during his last battle, Ulquiorra still maintains his composure and calmly berates himself for being defeated by a "Human-turned-Hollow". Believing that he no longer has a purpose in life, now that he was quickly defeated by his opponent, he then demands that Ichigo kill him, and compliments Ichigo when he decides to use a point-blank Cero to kill his opponent, claiming that the lack of mercy was "rather Hollow-like". This is a marked departure from most of his fellow Arrancar, who mostly died cursing their enemies or with an abject fear of death. )

Appearance:

Ulquiorra is a slender, yet fairly muscular, male Arrancar of average height with a melancholic appearance, fairly short, messy black hair, pale white skin, a black upper lip, and green eyes with slit-shaped pupils similar to a cat's. One of his bangs falls between his eyes, somewhat similar to the Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki, and he has distinctively thick eyebrows. He has teal lines that descend from his eyes, making it appear as if he is crying. His facial expression rarely changes, and he is almost always frowning. He wears typical Arrancar clothes: a white jacket, black sash, and a white hakama. However, his jacket seems to have longer coattails than others, and the collar is rather high.

Like most other Arrancar, he possesses remnants of his former life as a Hollow in his appearance. His Hollow hole is located on his sternum where a heart would normally be (though initially, the hole was located on the base of his throat; a change that was seen in both the manga and anime). The remainder of his Hollow mask lies on top of his head, forming a broken helmet. He is the fourth-ranked Espada, signified by the tattoo on the left side of his chest.

(Also noticed was the fact that in Ulquiorra's debut, his hollow hole was placed on his throat. Later the hollow hole appeared just below the throat.)

Arrancar Powers:

(As a canon he has more than two sorry)
Enhanced Hierro: He can deflect attacks of similar power barehanded. He is able to fight Ichigo in his Hollow form without unsheathing his sword, rendering Ichigo defenseless with two attacks and not sustaining injuries of any kind. The best example of his Hierro's might was shown from his ability to take a direct slash from Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu with only a minor cut on his chest, while his fellow Espada Yammy lost an arm from the said opponent. Also, in his released form, Ulquiorra's Hierro appears to be even stronger, as Ichigo's strongest attacks seem to have no effect on him

Enhanced Pesquisa: The Arrancar ability to sense spiritual energy. While any Arrancar can learn it, Ulquiorra has shown impressive skill with it. From a single glance at his opponent, Ulquiorra can immediately determine how powerful his opponent is.[75] He is also able to comprehend the flow and concentration of the person's energy as shown from his ability to instantly notice Ichigo's energy was fluctuating due to his inner Hollow.[76]

Enhanced Strength: Ulquiorra has proven to be deceptively mighty for his build. He has shown the ability to physically discipline Yammy, an Espada known primarily for his strength with no visible effort. He can upturn huge portions of rock floor with a single strike at the ground with his sword. He has also shown the ability to kick Ichigo a tremendous distance with one strong kick.

Natural Arrancar Powers:

Garganta: Garganta is how Arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. Ulquiorra has the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.

Garganta Broadcast: Ulquiorra has been shown able to create a visual broadcast , similar to a television screen, using individual Garganta portals. He does this in order to show the current predicament of Orihime's friends (Ichigo, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto) fighting their respective battles.

Instant Replay: According to Ulquiorra, his eyes see everything. Nothing can escape it. What it doesn't see doesn't exist. The actual function of this ability allows him to replay events he has seen to others by removing and crushing an eye, which then turns into dust and flows around those Ulquiorra intends to use it on. The dust apparently relays not only his sight but also his feelings.

Immense Spiritual Power: His spiritual power is immensely high, comparing his own spiritual power to the likes of Ichigo. As one of the top four Espada, he is forbidden to release his Zanpakut¨­ within Las Noches. That is because they are too powerful and such a release would cause great damage to the fortress. During his first meeting with Ichigo, he compared his levels to that of Ichigo, a Shinigami with exceedingly high spiritual energy, and he comments that the Shinigami's energy at its peak is higher than his own but fluctuates

(I think I got the powers and natural powers backward....well whatever.)

Zanpakuto's name:

Murci¨¦lago (Spanish for Bat)

Un-released Zanpakuto's Appearance:

Ulquiorra's Zanpakut¨­ takes the form of a standard sized katana with a green handle and sheath. The guard has two curved extensions from its long sides, with a line going through both sides to give it an eye-like appearance.

Resurrecci�n Release phrase::

"Bind", "Tozase"

Resurrecci�n Appearance::

In his released state, Ulquiorra becomes bat-like in appearance. He gains giant wings on his back, his hair becomes longer and wilder on the left side of his head, and the remains of his Hollow mask centers atop his head, with two large horns extending outward to the sides towards the front. The lines on his face become broader and more triangular and his fingernails lengthen. His Arrancar attire becomes more form fitting and closed at the top, becoming more like a robe towards the bottom. In this form, he can use his wings for flight.

Resurrecci¨®n: Segunda Etapa (Spanish for "Resurrection Second Stage").
Upon his transformation, Ulquiorra boasts that he is the only Arrancar among the Espada who is able to reach a second Resurrecci¨®n form, and that even Aizen has not seen him in this form. Ulquiorra refers to his second state as "True Despair", both before and after its release, because the immensely dense spiritual pressure it releases instils despair upon those around him. While he retains his black wings, his long white coat is gone, revealing a more defined musculature with his chest bare and Hollow hole (which has become larger) dripping black, blood-like liquid. His waist becomes covered in something similar to black fur, which also covers his arms and legs. His fingers grow claw-like extensions and his feet become like talons. His irises of his eyes turn yellow while the sclera becomes green. The tear-like marks under his eyes increase and turn black. Ulquiorra's mask remains turn into two long horns, and the #4 Espada tattoo is no longer visible on his chest. He grows a very long and thin but powerful tail which is capable of being used as a weapon or to lift and strangle a victim.

Resurrecci�n Abilities::

Ulquiorra gains even greater physical abilities in this form.

Javelin Generation: He is shown to have the ability to generate elongated energy javelins. He uses them as ranged weapons throwing them at an opponent and as a melee weapon.

Enhanced Speed: His speed is greatly enhanced to the point that Ichigo's hollow mask-enhanced Bankai has difficulty keeping up.

Enhanced Hierro: His Hierro has also vastly increased in strength to the point where a Getsuga Tensh¨­ with Ichigo's mask activated has no effect at all.
Enhanced Spiritual Power: Though already possessing immense spiritual power once released his spiritual energy permeates the area, it is intense enough to create a heavy affect on others as well as to cause what appears a black rain to fall in the surrounding area when he releases.

Cero OscurasCero Oscuras (Spanish for "Dark Zero") It is a black Cero, which Ulquiorra states to be similar to Ichigo's black Getsuga Tensh¨­. This Cero presumably can only be used while he is in his release state. Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras is powerful enough to blast Ichigo's mask away and destroy a large part of the city-sized Las Noches' dome. Ulquiorra refers to it as "my Cero".

-Second Stage-
Overwhelming Spiritual Power: Ulquiorra's already vast spiritual power is significantly increased furthermore upon entering his second stage. Even being within the vicinity of his release instils despair on those who can sense it. Ury¨± Ishida, a Quincy who is an expert at sensing reiatsu, noted that the density of Ulquiorra's spiritual power was so vast that it could hardly be identified as reiatsu. "It's like no spiritual energy I've ever felt before...It's not just bigger or stronger. It's too dense and heavy to even be called spiritual energy. It feels like there's an ocean above the sky..."

Lanza del Rel¨¢mpago (Spanish for "Lance of the Lightning": Ulquiorra creates a javelin-like weapon using his spiritual power, which he can use as a projectile or as a physical weapon. When thrown, it produces an incredibly-destructive explosion on impact, which dwarfs the fortress of Las Noches in height. Ulquiorra prefers to not use the attack at close range, most likely because the resulting blast would damage himself as well as Las Noches. While he can use these spears in rapid succession, he has difficulty controlling their trajectory. Ulquiorra is also able to use this attack as a blade, which disintegrates material upon impact; as seen when he struck away his own amputated arm, that Hollow Ichigo had just thrown at him.[99] The spear can also be quite effective at cutting, as seen when he used it to sever one of Hollow Ichigo's horns to prevent him from using a Cero on Ury¨±.

History/Background:

-Try to keep this nice and short-

Ulquiorra is first seen in the human world along side Yammy. They were greeted by Ichigo's friends who were quickly dealt with. Ulquiorra found it fascinating that Orihime could control and reverse space and time.

When Ichigo came, Ulquiorra also became interested. He was not interested very much at that point and simply regarded Ichigo as trash.

Later on he returns to Hueco Mundo to attend a meeting. He then shows his unique ability to replay the events that he had witnessed.

A month later he is sent to capture Orihime whom Aizen was extremely interested in.

He interupts Grimmjow before he releases his zanpaktou and takes every arrancar back with him along with Orihime, whom he had threatened to kill her friends if she wasn't cooperative.

In the Hueco Mundo arc, Ulquiorra fights Ichigo one on one for the first time. Ulquiorra reappears to confront Ichigo Kurosaki as he and Nel make their way through Las Noches. Ulquiorra tries taunting Ichigo stating that Rukia Kuchiki is dead after sustaining wounds during her fight with Aaroniero Arruruerie. Unsure of whether to believe him Ichigo proceeds to leave causing Ulquiorra to question if he can do so without killing him first, when Ichigo states he has no reason to fight him. Ulquiorra is perplexed at first until Ichigo explains that he maybe the enemy but he has yet to harm any one of his friends. Ulquiorra responds that what if he told him he is the one who kidnapped Orihime and brought her to Hueco Mundo. Ichigo attacks as he expresses her realization that Orihime didn't come there of her own free will, but it is blocked by Ulquiorra who finds it weird that her friends would come to save her if they had doubts to her loyalty. He scolds Ulquiorra for making Orihime get branded a traitor and states that he has no time to deal with him so they should go all out, he then releases his Bankai. Ulquiorra is unimpressed but is shocked to see Ichigo wearing a hollow mask and then use a Getsuga Tensh¨­ enhanced attack against the Espada. Ulquiorra blocks the attack with his forearm though Ichigo manages to push him back sending him flying through a number of pillars. As he gathers himself to launch an attack of his own Ichigo sends a Getsuga Tensh¨­ at him claiming the fight is now over. Ulquiorra shows his power by stopping the blast with his bare hands and pushed back a considerable distance by the force of the blast as it makes contact. Ulquiorra is hardly scratched. He shows Ichigo his tatoo which fazes Ichigo and then stabs Ichigo through the chest.

Ulquiorra finally battles Ichigo in the Fake Karakura arc and loses.

(Canon story)

(OC story)

After the great battle of Karakura, Ulquiorra snuck away from Stark and Halibel on his own and branched off from Hueco Mundo.

RP Sample:

It was cold and bitter as the frosy air and the harsh rain pounded on Ulquiorra with no mercy. He was well hidden, yet he knew that they were after him. Countless arrancar trash had been dispatched to locate him and eliminate him if he didn't serve under Gin.

Ulquiorra would refuse, and they would attack. He did not want to fight, for fighting in these conditions would be pointless. They would send waves after waves, volleys after volleys at Ulquiorra because of their new immense numbers. He would fight this once to send a message, any further attempts and he would completely destroy them if neccissary.

Ulquiorra sonido'd quickly to the center on the search party. Caught by suprise one arrancar swiped with their sword. It did not even scratch Ulquiorra who ignored this attack as if it never happened.

"Hey your Ulquiorra! Lord Ichimaru sent us to look for you! Why not come back and serve him?"

Ulquiorra merely answered, "Trash like you should not address me..." and quickly dispatched him like nothing.

The other arrancar attacked with rage and merciless intent yet they could not touch him. Ulquiorra pounded all of them with his fists and they fell.

"Cero..." and with that they all dissappeared into nothing. "This is a warning," Ulquiorra adressed the last one standing, "tell Ichimaru....that I have no intent on serving him...." and with that the arrancar fled.

"Humph....trash....."
