GENETICS

Character Name:
Raquel Lafuego

Character True Age:
300

Character Appearance Age:
She looks at about 20 years of age.

Character Gender:
100% Female

Orientation:
Not decided yet. She likes to look at her chances before she jumps to decisions.

Personality:
The personality of this hollow could be described as a dark one, sometimes bordering with insane and seems to be predictable a bit.

Raquel is definitely arrogant. She can't express how much she loves herself. If she were the Primera, she'd probably make everyone else bow down to her and kiss her feet every time she speaks. In her opinion, everything she does should be noticed and respected. No one should even dare to question her decisions or methods. There really isn't anything that she sees as useful and thinks she can't do. Raquel doesn't even need to gloat about it all. Everyone else should already be aware of her superiority, unless they were made to be stupid. Besides, she would let them find out of her, for now, while she is still just a regular hollow. A little later she'll kill anyone who dares to disrespect her, or at least she'll beat them all up.

Sentiments don't really play a role in her life. She has her pride and she has her power, what else is there to need? The female hollow has no use of stupid affections which round up with sweet words and cuddling. It all seems so weak and pathetic-shameful, even. Only wimps resort to a waste of time like that. She'd rather kiss someone with a fist than her lips(If you know what I mean). She does understand lust for another's body, though. It's instinctive and can't really be denied, but no one should want some stupid promises and cheesy pick up lines in return. Raquel, for one, would never fall for someone like that. She has a life of battle to go through. Relationships are too soft and would damage her pride. Now, she couldn't have that, could she?

She is also a sadist. She has no problem taking down kids or adults, watching them suffer and finally beg for their death. Even then, she would play with them a bit, before finishing them off while getting bored. She loves the feeling of dominance and she loves the look in her opponent's eyes as they crash and burn in front of her, especially, if her opponent has been about the same strength as her. Raquel gets excited every time she smells blood. Each time she faces a shinigami. Oh, if they disrespect her, it's most definitely going to result in that certain person dead or her dead because of trying. No matter how long it would take for her to find her opponent or think up a way to defeat them, she wouldn't stop till her last breath. The hollow isn't one to forgive something easily, if ever. She doesn't pay attention to sentiments or some stupid pranks but, yeah, if they touch her pride, may their god be with them. She isn't going to tolerate a drop of shame on her stainless sheet of arrogance and pride.

As for damage in battle, she doesn't really care. She is too excited to please her sadistic urges to care about cuts or bruises. She wouldn't mind attacking someone while hurting herself at that, unless she knew that she was going to die. For example, she would most probably punch someone till death, no matter that she'd bruise off the skin, leaving injuries. She'd be too caught up in her victim. So, she isn't really worried about hurting her, oh, so perfect body. She would heal anyways. Her victims should be honored that she was hurting herself while killing them. They'd be more worth because of that. At least, they'd be worth mentioning and remembering.

Even though she is truly arrogant, she isn't stupid. She knows that there are still a few stronger than her and she doesn't actually ask them to kill her. She wouldn't pick on the stronger ones, really, unless she knew there was a chance to kill them off. Though, there are times when she'd bow down to someone. That time would come if she was talking to someone who could kill her with both hands tied behind his back and wouldn't take any disrespect, and only if she had done something to probably get killed. And, yes, only if it were a he. She would never bow down before a woman, no matter how strong she was. She and only she was the best of them all and she knew it. Maybe someone had a higher level of power but she was still considered as trash considered to yours truly.

If she can't fight, she might as well try to enjoy herself by humiliating others and making fun of them, hopefully provoking them to start a fight and let her have her fun of battle. Raquel always knows ways to get to someone through words. May it be their looks, their own words, their actions, even their comrades - heck, even their past. She would use something to tick them off and get into a fight. Something was always there. And no one could say that they can't be provoked. Please, that's just a piece of bull. As for provoking her, you only need to be her level, or weaker, and look at her the wrong way, let alone say something bad. Oh my!

Even though, she has her pride, Raquel doesn't hesitate to also kill weaker beings. To her eyes they are vermin who don't really deserve to live. No one should cry because of an ant, right? Well, not like she'd care if they did. Honestly, if someone wants to die, they should just disrespect Raquel in any way possible. Though, it might not matter seeing as Raquel gets her insanity moments too. When bloodlust takes over her body and mind, she might kill anyone who stands in her way. She wouldn't hesitate to rip off the limb of her comrade hollow if he or she were in the way of another victim. It's all for the fun of killing, the feeling of pride as she laughs at the crippled remains of her foes, the feeling of power one wields when erasing a life from existence.
GENETIC LOOKS

Appearance:
I did a few sketches before some time <3 here's one of em

Spoiler:

Raquel stands about 5'7" and has a healthy complexion. Her hair is messy and purple and doesn't reach much over her shoulders. Her eyes are purple too, maybe just a bit darker in shade than the hair. To be honest, her hair doesn't have a certain style. It's combed back, leaving only a few strands to hang over her forehead, and the uneven ends of a former layer cut stick out , giving a rather messy look.

Her eyes have a certain feel to them. They seem cold and piercing most of the time. Covered by a thick layer of lashes, her eyes (well, eye) are the first thing one would notice (on her face). Yeah, she really does seem to have one eye because her right one is covered by a white fragment of her former hollow mask. The piece of white covers the place of her eye and right eyebrow, almost reaching her nose, but leaving the cheek mostly uncovered. It doesn't only cover her eye, though. The fragment of her former mask also stretches out to cover the upper part of her ear and then stretch even further on its own. The part on the side of her head resembles an unfinished ear of an animal. It should be sharp tipped and most probably the ear of something feline-like, just a bit longer. The white material is usually in front of her hair at the side. She actually pushes her hair behind the extended part of her ear piece to avoid her hair getting in her face as she fights.

Raquel also has markings on her face, which is common between the arrancars. The female has three triangle-like markings set around her left eye, as if wrapping around it and all the triangle-like markings face away from it. They all are in different shapes too. The marking, which is faced down and one of its three corners reaches over her nose just a bit, is located right beneath the inner part of her eye and is the biggest one of them all, reaching till the middle of her cheek. The second one is located further, beneath the outer part of her eye, giving an accent to her lashes and also facing down. It does curve along with the form of her eye a bit, though. The last one is located beneath the end of her eyebrow and at the upper further corner of her eye, facing away from it. It is the smallest marking and doesn't reach over her brow or anything. On that note, her eyebrow is missing a little part near the farther end of it and she usually wears an annoyed scowl.

Her build could be described as athletic. She doesn't have much muscle or only muscle on her body, but she has enough to qualify as athletic, you know? The female has a big rack too. She doesn't show it off to get attention or anything. Please, her character gets her all the attention she needs. The female just hates to wear baggy clothing or anything. That is the reason she wears a top, which is truly similar to a bikini top and the strap around the back of her neck is white, but the color switches to black somewhere about midway till the bottom of her top. At the back, it is tied by a tight knot. She really hates all the ribbons and that kind of stuff, so a regular, strong knot is all that she wants. Her stomach, shoulders and arms together with most of her back are left bare. She has nothing to be ashamed of, so it doesn't really matter. The bottom part of her arrancar uniform, however, is the same as any other. White is the one color seen, only disturbed by the black of her sash and her black socks shouting out from the upper side of her white sandals.

As for her usual expression, she usually looks either bored or annoyed, most of the time wearing a scowl on her face. Her lips do curl up in a smirk when something goes by her plan or she gets to fight. At the times of bloodlust taking over her mind, she is usually seen with an excited expression, her smirk spreading to reveal white teeth shut to let her canines stand out a bit. Her expression might even seem insane sometimes. It all depends on her opponent, really.

Bone Appearance:
Her right eye is covered by a fragment of her old mask. It reaches to her ear, partially covering the top of it. There is a slit type of hole at where her eye should be. The fragment doesn't cover a lot of her cheek but does cover her brow, for that matter.

Reitsu Colour:
The color is a mix of flame red and purple. Now, I don't know if there is a definition for the color, but it should look pretty and awesome...

ZANPAKUTÔ

Sealed Zanpakutô:
The sealed form of her zanpakutou takes the form of a regular Katana. So it would seem, but the weapon is a little shorter and has a stronger hint of a bend to it. The grip has streaks of red and the guard looks like the outline of a... abstract, melted triangle, reminding one of the markings on her face, really.

Zorra Royo is usually strapped to the back of her waist, along the black sash.

Racial Abilities:
Besides the six base abilities, Raquel has a sense of tracking others caught on to her. Because of her hallow self, she has learned to love hunting. Thew fun sport had also been a way of her life, therefore giving her the ability to track her pray anywhere. Well, almost anywhere. She couldn't pinpoint them down in every other dimension or anything like that...

And in detail: Hollows have highened senses. Beat humans, no? Well, her most highened sense is a version of reiatsu control, you could say. By concentrating, she can pick up reiatsu traits. Think of it as a technique that can't be turned off. The principle is the same as with someone's scent, yet she picks up reiatsu trails, instead. So, let's say that someone is near her, flips and leaks reiatsu. The presence of said person's reiatsu signature is noticed by Raquel and by sensing out remains of said reiatsu signature, she can track down the person easy. This doesn't apply to 1000 year old trails and she can be confused when opposing way too many reiatsu using... people...
Basically, as mentioned before, it is like with a tracking dog, yet she uses their reiatsu to track them. I really don't know how more detailed this can be.

You see, Rauquel has extremely hightened tracking senses. She can find anyone who's presence she has felt. No, as funny as it would be, she doesn't find people by their scents. She's not a tracking dog, yet the situation is oddly alike, I guess.

Also, battle-wise, Raquel has kept a little from her early hollow days. Once a battle, upon touching someone, she can paralyze someone's limb for a light period of time(maximum of three posts, depending on the power difference, which means: if the victim is gradually weaker then her (let's say, a tear gradation...) they take two posts. (Three tier gradations mean three posts) Equal or higher tiers get only one post). This can only be done once per person and, as mentioned before, once per battle. It's more for the sheer effect of surprise, really. And the limb doesn't get heavy, you know. Just... unbendable for a little while.

Raquel has to have a palm of her hand in contact with the victims limb in order for this to work. Or, she has touch the bare skin with her's for two posts(I wonder how that could happen without them noticing >.>; ).

How does it feel? The person feels like they slept on the linb for LONG. Yeah, that annoying feeling when you feel like the said arm or leg isn't moving when you bend it? Well, it's the same, unstable feeling. Just, you really can't bend it. It reminds pasta... yep. All loose and goey. But hey, you can still swing it, right? And it wears off soon! =D

If you are wondering, how can an Arrancar do that, well, it was her innitial ability as a young hollow. Everyone has their defence mech., right? Well, this was her's. (Please don't make me try to explain how the Hollow anatomy works?)

RESSERECCION

Resereccion Name:
Zorra Royo

Resereccion Release Phrase:
Hunt, Zorra Royo!

Release Actions:
To release, Raquel is required to unsheath her Zanpakuto and hold it in front of her horizontaly, while sliding, with her left hand, from the tip of the blade to the grip. By this action, the blade seems tu turn into a vission of bright red/purple flames and as she reaches the grip, they seem to burst up and surround her in what seems to look like a ball of fire.

Resereccion Appearance:
After the fire goes out (takes a second or three), she appears to have red hair and the bone fragment has dissapeared. Instead, there are shells covering her ears, reminding of lowered fox ears. And she appears to have an identical marking around her other eye, yet now red.

Her top is no more, yet a lush of reddish/purple fur has appeared around her neck and covers her chest, somewhat(Well, she has more on there than Halibel, so no worries xD *is shot*). You can see a line of bone-like material underneath the fur, actually. So her neck must be armored as well.

Her stomach, sides, back are covered by thick bone material, reminding a layer of wide wrappings, from afar. Her shoulders and thighs are left bare, thou. The woman now has three tails at her back. Big, red and seemingly fluffy, yet with a nasty aura about them.

As for her legs and arms: Starting from her elbows she has a few links of the same bone-like material and then her arms continue on as a form of red claws. They still have thumbs and a human-like form, yet they are a bit longer and sharp-looking.
Her legs, having a few links of the bone material below her knees, have turned into a version of the back legs of a fox. Obviously longer, yet they show less of her human-form, really.

Yep, quite a change... Oh, and her canines are longer too. Let's not forget that.

Resereccion Abilities:
Firts, the passive ability, which doesn't really have a name, for she can't chose to turn it off.
- The fur around her neck paralyzes anything that touches it, for a short period. This reffers to limbs, as well. Yet, one must seriously touch it, as in, their bare skin to the fur. Depending on the difference in Tiers, it may affect everyone differently. Yet, it will last at least two posts, no matter the difference. It's her strongest form, come on.
Oh, and one can NOT be affected by this twice, during one battle or a twenty four hour period. That means, her passive ability only works once per person every battle.

- So, we have noticed that she has three tails, right? Well, it isn't just for some sheer reason of cuteness, you know. By focusing a little percent of her reiatsu, she can harden them to the levels of titanium and they are her most freaquently used weapon in battle. She likes the look she gets from her victims, when she's about to hit them with what seems to look like a fluffy tail.

Fuego Grande

- Three times per battle, she is abe to use a massive attack, simmilar to an overdose of a cero. Every time she does use it, it requires her to stand at the same place for some time, to gather reiatsu, and for each time, she uses the ability to harden one of her tails. Her speed also falls, from exhaustion.
Even though, the destructive power is great, it is too big and flash, not to mention - it makes her slow down. So, unless it was her only attacks left in a life or death matter, she might probably not use it at all. Too bothersome. Besides, she liked scratching and punching others.

The last passive ability, she can't really chose to control, is her biting. By sinking her fangs into flesh, she can leak the other's reiatsu. It doesn't happen fast, but it shows. However, she does not suck up anything from the leaked. Hey, she just makes a leak. And the effect lingers after she has let go. The pace depends on the difference in tears, yet it can NEVER leak more than 5% of the Reiatsu amount at that time (Yes, it's not the 5% of the Max Reiatsu, rather the amount of reiatsu at the beginning of the post). Yet, 5% would have to be the outer of the borders. The victim should be a larva, compared to her level, then. With her level of strenght, it doesn't reach past 4%(usually stays at 3%, unless the victim spams kidou, bakudou, ceros, etc.). With people way abover her level, it doesn't reach past 3% (that being if the opponent is doing everything to strain their reiatsu output.)
The effect applies at the beginning of the round, meaning, the % are meant to be drained, associated with the reiatsu at the beginning of the round...

PAST

History:
Raquel was born as the daughter of a scrubwoman and a common artist, so she didn't exactly have a luxurious life. Her father died when she was about two years old and her mother didn't have enough money to properly support a baby or even get a babysitter for the day, so she was left with no choice, but to leave Raquel.

Luckily being found, the girl was raised, by an old man, to be a thief. She had to bring food or money each day and maybe got a part of it, but it was enough to let her survive. She wasn't alone, like that. The man had found other orphans, just like her, to steal for him.

Even then, Raquel was a pretty, little girl and people called her adorable, when her face wasn't too dirty, so asking favors and stealing was more easy for her. Only after some time, as she became 13, she started regretting all this and saw how very pathetic she and the others were. She had lost her childhood, because of stealing junk for some old man. She didn't have enough time to sit in the playground or just tell stupid jokes to others. All that time had been spent on digging her hands in other's pockets. And the worst part was to come. Raquel was growing up to be a gorgeous young woman and after time she would have to start earning money for that man. Only it wouldn't be stealing. She was disgusted even by the thought of it, but it was the fate of the girls found by someone like him.

The 13 year old girl was not about to stand for this any longer and started planning a way to escape the tyrant, who found her. She needed a year and had come up with a plan and even promised to take others with her. With the promised date arriving, she sneaked out together with her comrades, but unfortunately they were heard and had to run for it.

Seeing that some of her friends might get caught, she turned around and drew all the attention to her and yelled, that she will tell the police about this place and that she doesn't care, where she'll live after that. This took the man by shock, until rage filled his mind and he had already grabbed his shotgun. Raquel only got to turn around and start running as fear covered her face and she heard a shot...

Only moments later, she realized, she had no more strength and that she was falling to the ground. The girl's whole life flashed before her eyes and the only thing she saw, before it all turned black, was her breath ghosting over her face in the cold winter air. She felt hot at first but soon, as she felt the pool of blood below her, the feeling swapped to a sensation goose-bumps traveling down her body. She didn't scream. She couldn't. The pain was too big for her understanding. She was more taken back by it than in agony. Maybe this was how it should've ended... At least she would be free. That's right, this meant, she was finally free, right?

Afterlife: She woke up back in the man's house and to be honest, she thought it was all a dream, but when she sat up, she realized, most of the others weren't here and a weird sound indicated, something just shook. As the girl looked down she saw a chain, which was connecting her torso to the floor of the apartment and it didn't look like it would budge.

The girl was so confused. She tried getting the chain off of herself, but it only resulted in pain. At the point she started screaming for help, but no one heard her. The old brute didn't even scream at her to keep the noise down, even though he was clearly there. She waited there for days and tried almost anything, but only then realized that it was no use. Raquel would be stuck there forever. The girl didn't cease crying for a week, until all that sadness turned to hate. She began to despise that place, to hate every life form connected to it and most of all she hated that man. So much hatred and the agony that came with it made her start to forget her sanity. Now her only goal was to destroy this place with every single one of the lowlifes in it.

Hollow stage: Slowly, she began to turn into a hollow and when her transformation was complete, she made sure to eat everyone in that apartment and in the end- destroyed the whole building. She had no idea, why she ate only those people, but she knew it had to be done. Somehow she felt as if she had reached her salvation, when she devoured that old man.

Raquel didn't really remember being a human right then, but when she saw her reflection, she winced. She was a monster... and even though, she wasn't an ugly one, she was still a beast. Realizing this fact, she started thinking about how the people must fear her because of her looks. That was, when it hit her. She wanted to make them fear her and she wanted to see their faces in complete panic and shock. That's when it started to become fun hunting wholes.

The female hollow made sport of hunting and was really good at it, but when she saw a shinigami, she fled. She had seen how quickly those shinigamis take care of other hollows and feeling as weak as she did, she would get killed quickly. Raquel had set away her pride, and saw surviving as her top priority those decades.

It didn't take that much more than a century or two, before she was able to throw away the fear, however. Feeling herself grow with every whole and hollow she devoured, she couldn't help but feel an even grater gluttony consume her senses.

For a decade, she didn't even care of any formalities. She came, she killed, she ate. Up untill her Adjucas days. At the time, she had taken on a form of a fox-alike hollow. The theme hadn't really changed. Yet, now she actually reminded a graceful creature, insted of a ruggid beast. That was the time when she decided to do anything to get to the form of an Arrancar. Oh, what fun it would be to get her human form back. That gorgous female form she should've obtained so long ago. Well, she didn't remember what happened in her last life, but she remembered that she was about to be stunning.

And so, a day came when she felt it fit to rip off her mask. She couldn't really attempt to explain it. The excitement, lust for power and beauty shot through her mind that day. Determination seemingly unbreakable, she didn't stop untill she had ripped it off. And that is how Raquel came to her arrancar form, yes...

RP Sample:
"Heh, you are pretty pathetic even for a spineless worm, aren't you?"

This time her voice was meant to reach a plus which was lying right in front of her. The body was one of a young man, shivering and already admitted its defeat by cowering. Oh yes, Raquel would watch in a greedy way as the figure rose its already bruised hands to its head, tears and saliva dripping from its face as it mumbled almost mute pleads for freedom. The huge hollow didn't reply. It would only watch, her bright red eyes digging in to her victim even more and making sure to take in each shiver. It was like a drug to her. That power of superiority. It was the one thing that fueled her, that fed her ego, allowed her to feel alive. Oh, how wonderful it was, the climax of joy reached just because of someone so weak and helpless.

Now, she couldn't let herself get bored, you know. The man's chain was already short, so she'd have to eat him sooner or later that day anyway, you know. So, after letting the man cry for a tad bit longer, she reached her huge head down (well, huge compared to his, you know) and stood still. At the point the guy had froze, he really thought that she was about to eat him right then, didn't he? It was so fun, so very fun, to watch that man again begin to shiver, but at the same time wish he would've been eaten so that the emotional torture was done with. They always wished to be eaten, when she did something like that, but when she let out a breath right upon them, they started to cower a lot again. And that is what she did. Oh look, just like the others, this one started to shake even more and cried loudly, begging her to stop or someone else to show up. Oh please, she would sense anyone for miles, was having fun and the guy was cornered anyway. He seriously thought that she'd leave? What an idiot!

By now the female hollow kept her face really close to her pray, her paws resting on each side of the crouching figure, and her eyes gleaming with gluttony and bloodlust. It seemed she would strike each second. This very tension seemed to scare her victim the most. It was also the most entertaining part for Raquel. And now you'll know why:
After a little while, when a link of the whole's chain disappeared, he began to scream, not really caring, probably understanding that it'll die, but offering resistance anyway. It attempted to hit and kick the hollow's face. Sure, she let him. It only tickled a bit anyway. But she did swallow him right after the third hit. She really would hate to wait any longer. Only the struggle before getting up was fun to watch! After that, the tries to fight her had been too pathetic to observe, even for her.

Ah yes, it had been a swell night. The guy didn't taste half as bad, either. The only problem was, that there were no normal shinigami around. She had sensed another hollow fighting a shinigami somewhere else, but they were probably having a moment, so she didn't feel like butting in. The only thing she could hope to gain was a shinigami on her tail tomorrow. Yeah, she'd stay in the city tonight. It's not like she could just return to Hueco Mundo just like that.

((So, I speed typed an application. *Is too excited* If I've messed something up terribly, please let me know. After all, English is still not my mother's language xD))
