Baraggan Louisenbairn

GENETICS

Character Name: Baraggan Louisenbairn (バラガン・ルイゼンバーン, Baragan Ruizenbān)

Character True Age: Unknown (Though he has ruled Hueco Mundo for a long, long, time) It has been 400 years since he was absorbed.

Character Appearance Age: He appears elderly, at least 60 years old.

Character Gender: Male

Orientation: Former Espada member, he now serves under the Viejo Espada

Personality:

Baraggan exhibits typical Arrancar traits; boastful arrogance, stubborn pride, and a fairly cold, serious demeanor. He doesn't hesitate to impose his perceived authority over others, as shown when he takes the role of leader after Aizen was decommissioned, even going as far as openly challenging two other powerful Espada (including one higher in rank than himself) to disagree. Baraggan refers to Aizen as the Boss and his opponents as ants; his Fracción, on the other hand, refer to him as "his majesty". Like a king, he doesn't bring his Zanpakutō with himself - his Fracción take care of it, as well as of his throne. He's also able to analyze situations quickly and calmly, such as finding the four pillars making the fake Karakura Town.

Baraggan's arrogance stems from both facts that he was the former King of Hueco Mundo prior to Aizen's ascension and that he could control time; specifically aging. Ironically, the power that he claimed was absolute, the power of age and death, was used against him.

As the Espada of Old Age, Baraggan possesses a sense of fatalism that comes from his power, bragging that death by aging is something that the mind cannot fathom except for the fact that it is inevitable; even for Shinigami. He even lectures that for everything that can exist for a lifetime cannot exist forever; even the word forever is meaningless as it was born out of the fear of death. This philosophy makes Baraggan quite merciless against his enemies, literally rotting the flesh from their bodies.

However, for all his pride and power, Baraggan is easily angered. Whenever this happens, he flies into a blind rage and starts cursing at his opponents. Usually, he will go completely all out in trying to attack the offender and anyone else in the way (which is in stark contrast to his normally cool and level headed self); even against all odds. Baraggan also held a grudge for Aizen since the day the two met and Baraggan's final act was an attempt on Aizen's life; which proved to be in vain.

After Baraggan was absorbed, he gained one new characteristic. This characteristic is odd for someone like him. Because the Arrancar that absorbed him actually cared about other Arrancar (which is why he absorbed Baraggan in the first place), Baraggan now has a slight sense of caring for allies. Though, he doesnt consider anyone his friend (except for maybe Tia) and he certainly doesnt care if they die.

GENETIC LOOKS

Appearance:



Baraggan has the appearance of an elderly man with a white moustache and white hair. His face is lined by large scars in the left side of his chin and across his right eye. Despite his aged appearance, Baraggan is quite stocky and muscular, especially when compared to the other Espada, and when standing (albeit with the slouch of an elderly person) he is of a fair size. He wears a regal white leather coat with black fur lining; he has short sleeves and three black fur stripes running along the bottom. He also wears a golden wrist band on both wrists and a belt which consists of three thick chains attached to a large metal disk with a sun emblem. His overall appearance is like that of a barbarian lord (of Viking origin).


Bone Appearance:

The remnants of his Hollow mask take the form of a five pointed crown just above his forehead.

Hollow Hole:

The location of his Hollow hole is in the center of his chest.

Reitsu Colour: Red

ZANPAKUTÔ

Sealed Zanpakutô:



Baraggan's Zanpakutō takes the form of a large, double-headed battle axe with a pair of rounded blades and a slit-eye pendant in the middle of its focal point. Despite it being roughly the same size as himself, Baraggan wields his Zanpakutō with a single hand relatively easily.

Racial Abilities:

Enhanced Strength: Despite his elderly appearance, Baraggan has shown great physical strength from his ability to effortlessly crush his arm-rest made of bone and to wield his large Zanpakutō with enough force to slice through large buildings with extreme ease and only a casual swing. The force is strong enough that it can cut buildings in two from a mile away.

Immense Spiritual Power: As a member of the top four Espada, Baraggan is forbidden to release his Zanpakutō inside Las Noches because such a release could destroy the entire fortress. His spiritual power is dark red. It was powerful enough to send a shockwave across Karakura Town, just because of Baraggan's anger. As he was also known as King of Hueco Mundo, his powers were apparently vast and well known.

Enhanced Hierro: Hierro is an Arrancars ability to make their skin extremely hard, hard enough so weaker enemies may not be able to peirce said skin. Baraggan also appears to have a strong Hierro, taking a direct hit from Suì-Fēng's Jakuhō Raikōben and only having the left part of his skull and his lower right arm destroyed.

Hollow King: As the king of Hueco Mundo (previous or otherwise), Baraggan has amassed a massive army of Hollows that serve him. They would die for Baraggan, making them a force to be reckoned with. He can summon any kind of hollow, and even Arrancar, from Gargantas.

Garganta: Garganta is how Arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. Baraggan 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. He is seen using one to travel to the fake Karakura Town.

Sonído: The equivalent of a Shinigamis Flash-Step. Allows the user to move so fast they cant be seen, but creates a crackle sound. Baraggan is capable of using Sonído; though, his skill with it is unknown. He is shown only using it sparingly to get away from an unsuspected attack.

Senescencia (セネスセンシア, Senesusenshia; Spanish and Japanese for "Senescence"): As the Espada who represents "aging", Baraggan is able to dilate time around him, thereby reducing the speed of any target that comes near him and making their efforts at attacking him useless and thus has sufficient enough time to counter them. The ability also allows him to accelerate the age of whatever he touches, causing the appropriate damage that comes with aging. If an ability is fast and strong enough, it could make it past the time slow-down. Also, in order for him to age something on touch, he needs to touch them for at least 4 seconds. Otherwise it might only cause some slight exhaustion on his opponent.

RESSERECCION

Resereccion Name: Arrogante

Resereccion Release Phrase: Rot

Release Actions: When releasing his Zanpakutō, Baraggan holds it out in front of him with its axe-head pointing downwards and declares the release.

Resereccion Appearance:



He takes the form of a skeleton. Baraggan's body becomes draped in a purple cloak, with a pitch-black tattered fur collar around his neck area and the fringes of his cloak, which gives him a macabre appearance strongly reminiscent of a lich. Several lengths of golden chain, originally worn like a belt around his waist, now dangle out of either of his armbands. The pendant from his Zanpakutō is now worn at the center of his chest near his neck as an elegant pendant. The sandals of his uniform become white, pointed-toe boots. His crown-like mask fragment turns into a full, extravagantly-decorated and bejewelled crown that features a chain which runs downward on the left side. He still retains the scar present on his right eye from his previous form, visible now as an apparent crack in the same location.

Resereccion Abilities:

Resurrección Special Ability: His natural abilities are further enhanced by his release.

Enhanced Senescencia: While in his Resurrección form, Baraggan is able to age and deteriorate every object around him; even the very building he walks upon begins deteriorating from his mere presence. Because of this he is protected from most close-range and melee attacks, as everything that comes within a specific range of him rapidly ages and disintegrates before actually making contact. For example, Baraggan is able to deteriorate numerous rocks thrown at him by Ōmaeda's Shikai, as they make contact with his field. He used the ability on Suì-Fēng's Bankai and to make it explode far away from him, allowing him to escape the blast. Has the same weakness as his normal Senescencia, but the attack needs to be even stronger and faster. And now he needs to touch someone for only 2-3 seconds, and it can even radiate off of his body.

Menora Respira (死の息吹 (レスピラ), resupira; Spanish for "Lesser Breathe", Japanese for "Lesser Breath of Death"): Baraggan can create a blackish/purplish cloud-like Miasma that can spread outwards from him. The cloud has one main effect. Aging. When the cloud reaches any object except for people, the object almost instantly ages and rots, turning into ash, and eventually nothing. This also works against Kido and Ceros, and most Reitsu-based attacks. However, when used against other people, it can also have disastrous effects. Though it is a diluted version of his old Respira, it still retains the same basic property: aging. Whenever the Menora Respira makes contact with a person, it can begin to deteriorate their Reitsu. It ages the Reitsu within the person, until there is none left, though depending on the persons strength, this may take a long time, or a rather short amount of time. When a persons Reitsu is aged, there body begins to feel aged as well. Once someones Reitsu is aged completely, they tend to pass out and their immune system tends to be damaged as well. With weaker Reitsu, the opponent tends to be more susceptible to energy attacks. Due to the fact that this power ages Reitsu, it means energy-based attacks tend to be weaker against him.


Shinin no Yōna Kōka (死人のような硬化, Muerte Cure, Spanish and Japanese for "Deathly Cure"): After realizing that his own ability can affect him, Baraggan came up with an antidote for his Respira. It acts just like Respira does, looking and acting like a smog, except it is green instead of purple. It can move as fast as his Respira, but does the opposite effect. it an reverse the effects of Respira, essentially reversing the time flow of an object so it ages backwards, repairing said object. Takes 15-30 seconds to work on anybody, but can only repair to extent. Cannot revive people killed by Respira. Though it "unages" Reitsu, it cannot heal it.

Gran Caída (滅亡の斧 (グラン･カイダ), guran kaida; Spanish for "Great Fall", Japanese for "Axe of Ruin"): Baraggan now wields a Resurrección form of his original double-bladed axe, which he keeps hidden within his cloak. It is the same axe he used as King of Hueco Mundo, before he became an Arrancar. The axe itself has a much-slimmer and much-darker appearance than its predecessor, featuring two pointed blades and a large spike protruding outwards from its center, in place of the now-absent slit-eye pendant. There are also four golden chains present around the base of the spike, which appear to extend into his cloak, before attaching to an ornate bracelet worn around his right wrist. Just as before, he wields the axe with a single hand. This is the only weapon wielded by an Arrancar that remains in a form that's vaguely similar to its pre-released state. Baraggan uses this in an attempt to finish Ōmaeda off, referring to it as his "guillotine."

Reiryoku Hakai (Hakai lit. means Destruction): When Baraggan was absorbed, he retained this power from the Arrancar that absorbed him. The user does not actually use their own power with this ability. Instead, it uses the enemies power as a focal point. By drawing energy from the opponent, the user can generate an explosion. By this, I mean, the amount of energy that determines the power of this ability is based SOLELY on the opponents maximum power. Stronger opponents have more energy, and thus this attack is stronger. So, stronger opponents make stronger explosions. The attacks power and properties is also based on the opponents power. Someone like Zaraki Kenpachi would be damaged by a powerful outburst of sheer force. Radioactive would be hit by energy that retains nuclear properties. Someone like Coyote Starrk would be hit by an energy based attack, and so on so forth.

PAST

History:

Hueco Mundo Arc
He first appears during Sōsuke Aizen's meeting with the Espada about Ichigo Kurosaki, Yasutora Sado, and Uryū Ishida entering Hueco Mundo to save Orihime Inoue. He sits between Yammy Llargo and Szayel Aporro Granz whilst complaining about the intruders along with Aaroniero Arruruerie, Yammy, Szayel and Nnoitra Gilga. When Aizen explains that Ichigo and his friends are the intruders and displays their likeness for the Espada to see, Baraggan comments on how when he thought of the intruders he wondered what kind of people they would be, but is noticeably unimpressed to find out they are so young.
After Aaroniero is killed in battle by Rukia Kuchiki all Arrancar are alerted to his demise, with Baraggan simply stating how shameful it was for Aaroniero to die in such a pathetic way.

Fake Karakura Town arcEdit

After Aizen travels to Karakura Town, he is met with resistance by the other Gotei 13 captains who are currently not in Hueco Mundo. Aizen summons Baraggan, along with his Fracción and the two other strongest Espada with their Fracción, to the fake Karakura Town in order to do battle with the forces from the Gotei 13.

When Captain-Commander Yamamoto uses his Shikai to trap the opposing captains (Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen), Baraggan assesses the situation, noting that their enemies are numerous and Aizen is trapped. Tier Harribel tells him that he underestimates Aizen, prompting him to respond back that she underestimates him. Baraggan then snaps his fingers, prompting his Fracción, Choe Neng Poww, Ggio Vega and Abirama Redder, to pull out a throne for him to sit upon. He then decides to take control of the situation himself, telling Starrk he'd "better not have a problem with that". Starrk, in response, allows Baraggan to take over. He details that the town under them is a fake created as a replica from Soul Society and he notes that Aizen said that all they have to do is go to Soul Society to get the real one. Baraggan questions the need to go through the trouble and assesses that if the real town is being kept in Soul Society with pillars, then destroying the pillars will most likely result in its return to its natural place. He then orders his Fracción, Findorr Calius, to send Hollows to destroy them; but the Hollows are killed by Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayasegawa, Izuru Kira, and Shūhei Hisagi, who are protecting the pillars. In response, he sends four members of his Fracción; Poww, Chuhlhourne, Avirama, and Findorr, to each of the pillars and states that if they are going to guard them using ants then he'd just have to send dragons to crush them.

In the ensuing battles, one by one, three of his Fracción are defeated and killed. However, Poww is able to destroy one of the pillars after he defeats Ikkaku, but with the intervention of Captain Sajin Komamura, he is also killed and the damage to the tower is temporarily repaired. Baraggan, furious at having lost over half of his Fracción, prepares to take action himself but is persuaded otherwise by Ggio Vega; one of his two remaining Fracción. Ggio Vega then pleads with him to leave the Shinigami to him and his other Fracción, Nirgge Parduoc. Baraggan agrees and gives them a pre-battle pep talk before they engage Suì-Fēng and Marechiyo Ōmaeda. Ultimately both are also killed. He then rises from his throne, ready to engage both Suì-Fēng and Ōmaeda in battle.

During the battle, Suì-Fēng and Ōmaeda are seen worn out from their fight against Baraggan’s Fracción. He comments on how even their combined efforts have failed to budge him. Ōmaeda believed they were having so much trouble because their limiters were still active, but Suì-Fēng tells him they are already at full strength.

Baraggan then takes out his Zanpakutō and begins to swing it at Ōmaeda and Suì-Fēng, who both dodge the attack. Suì-Fēng tries to attack but notices her own movements slow when she is near him and wonders why. Baraggan gives her an answer; the Espada each embody an aspect of death. He then notes that his aspect is old age, which in turn gives him power over time; the most powerful and inevitable aspect of death. He then shows her by using Sonido to get in close before she realizes it and touching her left shoulder, causing the bones in her left arm to break. This noticeably shocks her and Baraggan taunts her by telling her that she doesn't understand what death is; he then releases his Zanpakutō.

In his released form, Suì-Fēng watches in horror as she realizes that each step he takes on the roof causes it to rot and crumble. She then screams at Ōmaeda to run but the Espada tells her that she is not even a match for him. He then releases his Respira, which catches her broken left arm, causing it to begin rotting away to the bone. Realizing what has happened, Suì-Fēng begins to panic and has Ōmaeda cut off her arm before it spreads further. She is then taunted by Baraggan, who finds it funny that even Shinigami are afraid of death.

As Ōmaeda is still in a shock at how powerful Baraggan is, Suì-Fēng suddenly tells him that she will need him to act as decoy. Ōmaeda is scared and tries to get out of it but Suì-Fēng tells him plainly to just make sure that he keeps his right arm, as he has to be able to cut off any parts her body that get turned to bone; she then leaves. Baraggan then rushes at him, prompting Ōmaeda to run for his life so Suì-Fēng can execute her plan. Baraggan takes no notice and rushes at Ōmaeda, who screams and runs for his life.

Ōmaeda, still acting as a decoy and running from Baraggan, activates his Shikai and crushes numerous parts of buildings, hoping that the fragments will hit and injure Baraggan. When the pieces of rock disintegrate without even touching Baraggan, Ōmaeda nearly gives up since nothing he does affects him. Then he gets the idea that he can use Kidō as it most likely will get the better of Baraggan. Ōmaeda turns and gets ready to take the offensive, but then he recalls he's not really good at Kidō and decides to simply use Bakudō #21. Sekienton, to create a smoke curtain in order to hide his escape. Baraggan then calls forth his Gran Caída and seems to be closing in on Ōmaeda to finish him off with it.

Baraggan quickly notices the surge of energy from Suì-Fēng's Bankai being released and turns around to face her. Suì-Fēng emerges with her Bankai, Jahkuhō Raikōben. Baraggan is somewhat surprised as he has yet to see one. Suì-Fēng explains that she would have preferred not to use it, as it offends her pride as the commander of the Onmitsukidō. Suì-Fēng then sets herself up to fire the projectile at Baraggan; resulting in a huge blazing explosion. After the arrival of Fūrā, Suì-Fēng notices Baraggan's figure in the smoke, seemingly unaffected by her Bankai, noting that it's impossible for him to have survived.

Shortly after, everyone is surprised at the arrival of the Visored. Hachigen Ushōda, after defeating a few Gillians, goes to aid Suì-Fēng and Marechiyo Ōmaeda in their battle against Baraggan Luisenbarn. Baraggan interrupts their reunion, stating that it doesn't matter who they are or what powers they have, for everything is equal before him. Baraggan then taunts Hachi telling him to come to him so he can turn him to bone and destroy him. Hachi claps his hands together and forms a barrier to ensnare Baraggan. Hachi states that he has seen what Baraggan can do, this being the reason he came to fight him in the first place. Hachi tells him that all attacks are the same unless they can touch you, and that Baraggan wields a truly fearsome power. Baraggan touches the barrier and it begins to deteriorate; much to Hachi's surprise. Baraggan then asks if he thought that age could not touch Kidō.

Baraggan continues explaining that nothing last forever. Baraggan contends that 'forever' is nothing more than a meaningless word born out of the fear of aging. He then proceeds to attack. Hachi generates a barrier and places it in front of Baraggan. Baraggan states that he already has said that it will rot, as the Respira begins to deteriorate the integrity of the wall. Hachi begins reciting an incantation, to which Baraggan comments on how clever Hachi is, since an incantation said after a spell can strengthen it. But he also warns Hachi that he is too late. Hachi puts his hands up in front of him saying the spell name causing large beams to build up in front of him, creating a very thick and large wall many stories high to separate him and Baraggan further.

Hachi then calls out to Suì-Fēng, asking her for her help as he needs her Bankai. Hachi pleads with her and says this is not the time for grudges. Suì-Fēng continues to be uninterested in teaming up with him, to which Hachi relents and tells her he will make a deal with her. Meanwhile Baraggan is losing patience and proceeds to try to destroy the wall before he notices something behind him. Hachi continues to create more barriers. Hachi calls out the spell name "Shiju No Saimon" causing the spell to fully take effect as "Kigai No Jomon" becomes similar to an umbrella as a large box shaped barrier connects all other constructs Hachi has previously made and entraps Baraggan completely. Baraggan begins laughing at what he percieves as Hachi's attempts to buy time against one who controls aging. Baraggan equates it to spitting on the face of god.

Hachi simply states the barrier is not to seal him. Hachi goes on explains that Baraggan had earlier used his aging ability on Suì-Fēng's Bankai and made it explode far away from him so that he escaped the explosion. Hachi then deduces that if Baraggan is somewhere he can't escape the explosion, then his powers won't be fast enough to keep it away from him. The pinwheel section of barrier partially opens and Suì-Fēng sticks Jakuhō Raikōben in. She asks Hachi to promise her again that tomorrow he will seal Kisuke Urahara in one of his barriers for a month. Hachi promises and Suì-Fēng smiles as she fires her Bankai causing the barrier to seriously crack.

Hachi remarks at how he is surprised that she cracked the "Gates of the Four Beasts" going further to note how unbelievable her power is. He then snaps his fingers causing the Barrier to fix itself. Hachi then calls down to Ōmaeda to ascertain captain Suì-Fēng's status. Ōmaeda yells that she is not alright. The building that Suì-Fēng and Ōmaeda are on begins to crumble and fall apart right out from under them. All too late realizing that it is the deteriorating powers of Baraggan's Respira.

Baraggan screams from beyond the smoke screen that he will never forgive them. Hachi's eyes widen in surprise and he states that it's impossible for him to be alive. Baraggan continues telling them he will not forgive them for injuring him. He finally appears with the left half of his face blown off. He brings forth more Respira to engulf the area.

Hachi puts up a barrier and dons his Hollow Mask in order to repel the Respira. Baraggan tells him he is clever but asks him who he thinks he is playing Hollow with as he should know his place for he is the Great Emperor; the God of Hueco Mundo. The Respira breaks through Hachi's barrier, and Suì-Fēng screams his name as Baraggan laughs. Baraggan goes into a speech about how all are beneath him regardless of their power, their differences and dominions only his power is absolute, as his Respira attacks Hachi shattering his Hollow Mask.

As he continues to speak Hachi's right arm is enveloped in Baraggan's Respira causing it to begin deteriorating. Hachi covers what is left of his arm with a barrier, causing Baraggan to pause and question what Hachi has done to his right arm. Hachi then points at Baraggan to which the Espada asks what he is doing. Hachi plainly states that he gave it to him. Baraggan's chest glows to which he asks what is happening. Hachi explains that Baraggan stated that only his power is absolute. As the barrier placed in Baraggan's stomach is revealed it begins to dissipate unsealing Hachi's deteriorating right arm that was held inside it, causing Baraggan to deteriorate at an extremely fast rate. Baraggan realizes all too late that Hachi cut off his arm inside a barrier and transferred it to his stomach. Hachi continues to say that if Baraggan's power is truly absolute, then even he can't stand against it.

Hachi notes that it was only a guess and he is glad he wasn't wrong. Baraggan becomes irritated at this. Hachi continues stating that in Soul Society there are no Gods other than the Shinigami, the Gods of Death; therefore, anyone that isn't a Shinigami can't understand the seriousness of his words. He asks that Baraggan forgive him for their lack of belief, sarcastically calling him the "God of Hueco Mundo" as Baraggan disintegrates due to his own power; thus ending the life of the Espada.

As he dies, Baraggan recalls the first time he met Sōsuke Aizen and before disintegrating completely, throws his Gran Caída at him in one last attempt to fulfill his vow to kill him. Baraggan's final attack proves futile, as the weapon rots away before it can reach Aizen. Aizen then turns his back on Baraggan as he disintegrates entirely, leaving only his crown to fall to the ground.

Because of his power and Reitsu size, remnants and traces of his power remained. After everything that had happened in the fight, the area became invaded by both Hollows and Arrancar alike. They came because they had sensed the ridiculous amount of power in the area, and thus wanted to investigate, as they were drawn to it like moths to light.

One such Arrancar that came, was known as Meloi Gi. He was a wild Arrancar that powers focus on supporting allies, as they are mainly used to absorb and transfer energy and Reitsu. Sensing Baraggans remaining Reitsu, and knowing it was the Reitsu of his King, he absorbed it, in hopes of being able to transfer it into a body, reforming Baraggan in all of his glory. However, things did not go as planned for the Arrancar. Turns out, there was enough left of Baraggan to really cause some trouble.

The sheer force and power of Baraggans Reitsu began to morph the Arrancar. The Arrancars body, and mind changed, and eventually the King was born anew. He had the same mind as before, and his powers were unrivaled, even in their new form. He gained and kept the powers of the Arrancar, adding to his own strength. He was now officially the strongest Arrancar in his kingdom again. Creating a Garganta, Baraggan went back to Hueco Mundo.


He reformed his kingdom, and took control of Los Noches again. With his new powers, he slowly got stronger and stronger. He had one key goal: Destroy all of Soul Society. He gathered a massive army of Hollows and Arrancar alike, and slowly started to get stronger and stronger. After witnessing the power of the Shinigami, he vowed to get stronger than ever, something he was going to obtain no matter what.

RP Sample:

A king sat atop his thrown, ruling over all of the place known as Hueco Mundo. Hollows feared him, followed him, and would die for him. The king had been ruling since before these Hollows even came to exist, for centuries, and unknown amount of time. His castle ended with the sky, and his walls encompassed the entire dimension. He truly was a king of all.

The king had the body of a skeleton, with flowing black robes and and a royal crown that showed his power. He was older than anyone knew, his age consisting of thousands at least. He had amassed a massive army of Hollows and Arrancar alike, one the likes of which no one had ever seen before. But what was it for? What other army could he possibly do battle with? For there were no other armies for his to fight. This lead to his extreme boredom with his rule. He even considered spliting his army in 2 and foring them to duke it out, destroying them all in the process. However, that all changed when a certain Shinigami showed up at his palace, Las Noches.

This man walked into his endless kingdom with two allies. One was dark skinned with dreads, opaque glasses, and black robes, and a white trench-jacket that he wore over it, with an upturned collar. The other kept his eyes as slits, had a constant smile, and had silver hair. This man was unusually thin and tall with sharp facial features. He wore similar clothing to the first man.

The man standing in the middle appeared to be the leader. He was a mild-featured man, with brown hair and glasses. He wore classic Shinigami outfit, except he also had on a captains haori. He seemed rather plain compared to the two next to him, but they all seemed drab and boring in comparison the the army of Hollows around them, and the king that sat at the top of the steps leading up to his thrown.

"So, I take it you are the king of Hueco Mundo?" the leader questioned, revealing no emotions.

The king replied by stating "I am indeed. And who are you? You arent Hollows. What are you? Though, I dont honestly care. All that matters is your arrival saved me from this undying boredom. Welcome to my kingdom."

"I can give you power. Another kingdom to rule over. Interested?" Agian, the leader was the one to talk.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ANOTHER KINGDOM?! PREPOSTEROUS!! SURELY YOU JEST SHINIGAMI INSECT!! NOW, MY HOLLOWS!!! KILL THESE INSECTS!! WIPE THEM OUT, DESTROY THE INSECTS THAT SET FOOT IN MY PALACE!!!"

Holding his Zanpakuto up in front of him, the leader, who was known as Aizen, said "Ah, I see. Break Kyoku Suigetsu."

All of a sudden all of the Hollows died in a flash of light, showing just how powerful Aizen was. His abilities were unknown to the king, but what he did know was that he was powerful. The skeletal king stood up from his thrown, angered that the new

Sorry, I don't know if I can let this application be approved properly. The powers that Barragan holds are excessively powerful, and quite honestly very bad for most characters to come up against. I can allow it to be fully reviewed and approved, however I need to be completely sure you can be trusted with these abilities - possibly making his Resereccion an event-only ability. While I understand that coming up to fight a character like this is usually in understanding of risk, it's preferable that we don't have that much of a risk in this...

I hope you understand, Gin. Do you have reason to allow us to trust you with these abilities?

As a matter of fact, I was talking about this in the Xat. I was worried something like this would happen. I understand his powers can be OP. But there are a few things I think I can do...


1. I definitely wont use Baraggan to fight weaker opponents, because Im almost positive someone weaker cant find a way around his powers unless it happens to be their specialty.

2. For his Ressureccion, I agree with the event-only plan for it, but I also think he should be able to use it if he might die. Otherwise, it is just overkill.

3. I am open to ideas on how to get past his powers. While I dont think every Tom Dick and Harry can beat him, I do think that there are some amazing and creative abilities that can get around his powers.

4. When I RP with him, I plan on focusing on his Zanpakuto skill. I dont want his fighting to be based solely on his abilities, as in the manga it never showed how strong he was with his axe.

Any other ideas, just let me know.

Yeah, I was just doing my job, sorry. A member raised an issue with the idea of someone having Baraggan, and I reacted in kind.

1: Good to know.

2: Also, good to know. XD

3: Well, it could be quite simple. See, the abilities are generally: "If you touch, it's over." Instead, it could be more like: "If you stay in it for too long, it's over," making the miasma itself more of a prolonged exposure attack than anything. It would also make Baraggan more susceptible to attacks from opponents with high speed ratings. On the flipside, while ranged attacks could be negated, a fast enough one might make it through too. There could be other weaknesses, and I think you can work with them.

4: Finally... GREAT to know. It's good to see a member focusing on something that was previously unexplored in the series.

However, I'd like a second opinion on this. So I'm going to ask that this application be looked at by either another Advisor, or an Admin. When you've made any revisions that you need to, I'll give my check-over of it, my own tier, and then ask for it to be second-checked. Is that fair enough?

I have added a few tweaks to his Respira and Senescencia to make it more fair for opponents. But I didnt make him weak either.

MARKED FOR SECOND OPINION

Dai has pretty much mentioned everything that has been a problem with having Baraggan in the past; however having STRICT limitations on his very OP powers can be put in place. Editing his powers for the sight may be necessary to the flow of this site. If we are going to accept this, there needs to be some kind of antidote in which Barragan can produce and/or a antidote that was formed by the cyber mind and is available against his particular poison.

Maybe even modifying his deathly abilities so that it doesn't rot away so quickly could be of assistance. Having someone like Baraggan is... not ideal but we respect the wishes of members and try and make it possible for them; even despite dimming them down a bit. I'd like to see it cleaned up and added maybe an antidote ability.

Adding in a certain time before it effects your body is also necessary; so take into account what Dai and myself have said.

Before anything is decided; please fix everything I have asked and then we will work from there. I will also agree on the tier being given.

Taking Kyles advice into account, I gave his Ressureccion form an antidote for Respira.

Alright. Looks like it's been done well enough. You have the character, and you also get three chances. After three strikes, the character will be killed permanently.
