Harlequin (WIP)

[ixtakaxi]

Name: Harlequin
Age: 254
Gender: Male
Personality:

Harlequin is a jester, a psychopath, a prankster, a genius, and a fiend. He loves to joke about, though his jokes are often very sick, and he will often speak in riddles and rhymes. And no one finds him more hilarious than he does. He laughs at all of his own sadistic little jokes and delights in tormenting his opponents in battle. He is also very aggressive and highly unpredictable and will attack anyone or anything without warning.

Despite his outwardly foolish, and sometimes even childish demeanor, Harlequin is far beyond genius. His I.Q. is above 300, and he is constantly scheming. Such a high I.Q. seems to have come at the price of his sanity, though he couldn't be happier with his lack of sound mind. Despite his intelligence, he isn't known to make many decisions on his own.

Harlequin has no regard for the other Arrancar. To him, they are merely targets for all his pranks. He shows very little respect to anyone, not even Gin, though he seems to be slightly more cautious around the Espada.

As with his mischievous nature, Harlequin is also quite curious. He is constantly traveling to Earth to observe humans and cause trouble.

Harlequin has a very unique relationship with an Arrancar named Payaso. The two refer to each other as brothers and Payaso seems to act as the superior of the two, Harlequin often deferring to Payaso's decisions, though it is not uncommon for him to disregard Payaso's input and simply attack on a whim.

Appearance:

Harlequin is a very lanky man, standing at 6'4" and weighing a mere 137 lbs. His hair is wild and bright orange in color. His eyes are fiery red and always shifting about, looking for a new victim for a prank. A large grin is usually stretched across his face. He is quite flexible and agile, proving it by constantly doing flips, cartwheels, and contortionist type poses.

His attire is a black and white large checker pattern garment that covers everything from the neck down. He also wears a black and white jester's hat in correspondence to the rest of his attire. His shoes end in points that have been curved upward. His hollow mask is very plain. It covers his face from above the mouth up. The nose of his mask is 6 inches long. His hollow hole is located on his throat.

Arrancar Powers:

Cero - Harlequin fires a bright orange cero from his hand.

Natural Arrancar Powers:

Hierro - Hierro is an Arrancar technique in which the user's reiryoku condenses, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block a zanpakut¨­. This also allows them to fight some of the sword-wielding Shinigami barehanded.

Garganta - Garganta is how Arrancar and Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. 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.

Zanpakuto's name:

Bromista

Un-released Zanpakuto's Appearance:

Bromista is a unique Zanpakuto, for it does not take the form of a weapon. It instead, takes the form of a jester's hat. The hat has four stuffed up points, each ending in a white bauble. The hat follows the black and white pattern of Harlequin's outfit, with the points on the front right and back left being black and the other two points being white. This unique form of Zanpakuto leads many of his opponents to underestimate him, since it appears that he doesn't have one, and therefore, would have no Resurrección.

Resurrección Release phrase::

"Laugh, Bromista"

Resurrección Appearance::

Resurrección Abilities::

While in his Resurrección, Harlequin is able to stretch any part of his body, being essentially elastic in in this form. His body is infinitely malleable, making it even harder to slice through him.

History/Background:

As a human, Harlequin went by the name Charles Quinsten, and was born in Great Britain in 1755. He was a mischievous child, much like he is now as an Arrancar. He also lived for theatre ever since a young age, attended shows (mainly comedies) whenever he could. At the age of 18, he joined the British army, though he found it very dull. No action to be seen.

Two years after he joined, he was sent to the new Colony of Massachusetts in order to "quell the rebellion" that had begun. He was a member of the squad sent to Lexington. In the tense air, and the excitement of finally getting to see some action, Charles fired one of the first shots of the American Revolution simultaneously with an American militia man. Both men shot and hit each other at the same moment, each killing the other.

Charles felt himself go black for a second before regaining his consciousness to find a chain on his chest. He looked around and saw that his body was lying on the ground not far away. He also so the man who had shot him in a similar predicament, and tugged on his chain as much as possible. He pulled and pulled until by some miracle, it broke. He proceeded to charge at the man who had shot him and began to punch him repeatedly. Charles' onslaught of blows forced his victim's chain to break as well.
