Clothing:

Canaan wears the typical jacket of the Arrancar. It has a high collar though and the black trim going down the middle is magnetized for easy close and easy open. He has a black sash wrapped around his waist several times. Rather than wearing a hakama though, he has a pair of white jeans with a black trim made out of the same fabric. Usually under his jacket there is also a black sleeveless shirt that goes half way down his stomach. The sleeves of his jacket are large. He also has a second jacket with more fitted sleeves and thumb holes at the end of them. His "2" tattoo is on his waist just above his inner thigh. He released his Zanpakuto one time since becoming an Esapda, and the mark that was left goes across his nose. The remains of his mask go on his lower right jaw. Around his neck he wears a black magnetic necklace On his right wrist he wears a matching magnetic bracelet.

Hollow Hole Location middle of his torso.

Aspect of Death Aging (Time)

Personality:

Canaan is a rather friendly fellow. To those that he calls friends and allies, he will often be found smiling and chatting freely. He will offer advice as quickly as he will offer his blade. He loves and hates to fight all at the same time. It's an odd stand point from him filled with contradictions. He respects power, but he also has learned that power comes in many different forms. He does not have a temper, claiming to have dismissed such a thing a long long time ago. He actually claims to have abandoned many feelings long ago, rage being the first he struck down. He doesn't look for fights, he'd much rather exist in a world where fighting isn't required to settle every disagreement, but as mentioned....he does enjoy fighting. Of course....do not let this fool you. He is not to be trifled with. Canaan is not a fan of people he doesn't know, or people who attempt to speak with him. He isn't rude, but he can come off a bit....dramatic....Though he can appear this way even to people he knows well enough.

It should be noted he is also a bit of a sadist. He enjoys the site of blood and likes having his opponents contort their face in pain. He loves the sound of screams and pain. Most of all he loves torturing people. On top of that, he is also an extreme masochist. He doesn't mind being cut nor does he mind being punched in the face. He enjoys being in pain as much as he enjoys causing it. All the same these pleasures don't often show in fights, but one can look upon his flesh and see scars from where he was....entertaining himself. In a fight though he has been known to break for a moment to taste his blood or the blood of an opponent. He also prefers to lick the blood from the wound directly, but he won't complain.


~Abilities and Skills~

Speciality:

Sonido Master - Canaan has an uncanny skill with Sonido. His skill is great enough that the initial blur that he is appearing (or leaving) is not present, he is just gone. On top of that, he has several Sonido based techniques. As an added note, his Sonido's sound is a very low static sound. Canaan is able to cover miles in a single move. He can go for hours before feeling fatigued, capable of multiple uses of Sonido in a row without showing signs of stopping. His most notable trait with his Sonido is that he has been known to slip by the pesquisa of Arrancars, as well as slip by enemies who would attempt to detect him. He is one of the fastest Arrancar alive.

High Speed Regeneration - Canaan's most useful ability though is his regenerative qualities. All Arrancar who have this ability use it to varying degrees. Canaan's regenerative qualities are insane. He is capable of regenerating limbs, cuts, internal injuries, gashes, and other things insanely quick. He is also able to clear his body of toxins, reducing their duration by half. The limits of his regeneration are that he cannot regenerate his major vital organs.

Hand-to-Hand Combat - Canaan's third most notable specialty is his exceptional skill in hand to hand combat. His body, however lean, is incredibly powerful. It's strong enough to leave craters. His speed only assists in his skill as well as power with his hand to hand combat. He is incredibly accurate with his strike, which only makes him all the deadlier.

Abilities:

Smoke/Air Manipulation - His innate ability is known as Air and Smoke Manipulation. This allows him, as the name would suggest, to control air and smoke to various degrees. With it he can do a wide variety of things all centered around one property or the other. It's a lot like snow/ice. Canaan can do a variety of things with this from firing lightning bolts (See Spark), to altering his body (see Smoke Form), to simply but effective attacks / counterattacks (see Burst). Bigger things, such as the things previously mentioned, require an actual technique to be in place. Small things (controlling air, controlling smoke, so on and so forth) don't require a technique because they aren't game changing in most situations.

Synesthesia - Canaan senses the world differently than most do. His most notable ability is that he can see people in colors, sensing their inner most positions on him. He can see who is his enemy, who is an ally, who is afraid, who is hurting, etc etc. Because he senses things differently, he will apply different adjectives to them. This could mean that he would say things like "You smell soft" or "You sound rough." applying different senses to other things.

Smoke Form - This ability allows Canaan to change into a smoke. He can alter his entire body or he can alter parts of his body into a black smoke. When he is totally altered his voice echos a bit. Those who get caught in his body while he is smoke will feel a burn over their skin. If their head in caught inside the smoke, choking will be instant as well as have their throat and lungs damaged.

Spark - Despite it's name, the attack is rather devastating. Using the static in the air, he can multiply it's power immensely to cause an attack that could literally rip a hole in a body. On top of it's impressive physical force, it does have a paralysis factor in it too (see Status Effect) In his unreleased state he can rip a hole through a sheet of reinforced steel. When he releases his power, he can fire this through just about anything (excluding Zanpakuto's) He can fire this from one or two hands. In his unreleased form he can let loose a total of three bolts per hand, and in his released state he can release five bolts per hand. Spark also allows him to negate lightning damage by taking it, multiplying it's power, and firing it whatever he chooses (must be done in the same post, is just simple redirection). He can also direct the direction of this ability which only makes it that much more dangerous. As far as things that are resistant to electricity, while they may not feel the shock the physical damage it can cause will still be applied. Again, it's a super strong and condensed bolt of electricity. So even if the electrical factor of this attack is not applied, one could still end up with holes in their body....
Status effects :: Paralysis for 2 posts.

Burst - It's a simple ability that is basically always active due to the fact that it requires little to no energy to activate. The technique is simple. It simply requires Canaan to form compressed air just before contact. There's so much force packed into there that it can repel enemies away upon contact. It works if Canaan is being attacked or doing the attacking. He can also control how much force is inside there. This simple technique means that damaging Canaan can also have adverse effects on the attacker as they could suffer concussive force damage and knock back damage. On top of this Canaan's attacks can boast a greater deal of damage. This only applies to physical attacks.

• Strengths

*Close combat skills

*Pesquisa - Canaan is a skilled user in detection of energy. He can detect the smallest hint of energy over a vast region. He can even take a glance at an opponent and understand the build and composition of their reiatsu, as well as their potential reiryoku possession. (See Master Scientist / Inventor)

*Hierro - As the King, he boasts an incredibly strong Hierro. As of right now, he could effectively block a Shikai blade (or whatever form it comes in) without much effort. He could potentially block a Bankai's blade depending upon a variety of other circumstances, but even so he would show signs of bruising most likely. He could also deflect a cero from Hollow ranked lower than the 6th Espada.

*Master Scientist / Inventor - Canaan is the top researcher and spiritual weapons development specialist of the Espada. He can make a variety of things from simple poisons, to complex devices, to a whole new weapon in and of itself designed for use against Spiritual Beings or human like races. His prowess in analyzing things is incredible and accurate. His powers over the air also help him when he needs more flexible and nimble "fingers" to dissect things. On top of that, he has repeatedly shown that he can deduce an opponent's power limits by simple observation. He has files on all known races, and his lab has walls of books in every room. More often than not he shows up to Espada gatherings looking messy and rather sloppy, often with burn marks over his face. He also uses his own body as a test subject for his experiments.

*His Synesthesia grants him increased senses even though they are all jumbled up. His vision, his sense of hearing, his everything is incredibly sharp which allows for high speed combat with minimal effort. Things like that come as naturally to him as breathing does. Also, because his sensory inputs work differently, he is immune to illusions and devices built to cut a person off from sensing something. Illusions and other such devices target specific sensory inputs to block of certain signals, or rewrite what signals go into the inputs. Because the signals are different for him, he is able to not be touched at all by such things. He also sees natures and emotions in colros, allowing him to see who is a friend and who is foe regardless of how he may feel about the person.

• Weaknesses

-He often gets lots in his work....even when on the battle field. He often gets sidetracked analyzing his enemy and as such it tends to get in the way.

-He has a slight alcohol problem....just a small one....kind of >.>

-Often would rather capture enemies alive for studies than killing them....which means he often plays with the opponent which can get him in trouble.

-Disrespects those lesser than him (unless he can appreciate their power) which can cause issues if said person has connections in high places.

-Is rather prideful of his works...

-Doesn't handle fire too well due to his attacks mostly centering around wind. Fire tends to have an additional umpf when it connects with him.

-Water is also a weakness in his released form due to being electrically charged. The electricity doesn't do the additional damage but the water does pack an extra punch to it.

~Character History~

Childhood:

Spoiler:

Teen Years:

Spoiler:

Young Adult:
[spoiler]In his early twenties Canaan met up with his dad one last time. Keep in mind Canaan hadn't spoken with his father since he was 15. Canaan was in the middle of a war with another opposing gang....however by this point Smoke had become an actual business with gang like operatives. Canaan was one of those agents. He was one of their top agents along with his best friend and non-biological brother Ray. Together Ray and Canaan had moved up in Smoke. They were rarely seen apart, and it was Ray who convinced Armond that he should change his name to Canaan. Obviously the male took his friend's advice. Canaan was extremely well gifted in combat, and had always had a thing for knives often preferring to use them over guns for one simple reason "Knives don't run out of bullets" he would say casually. Canaan had run into trouble with the law while climbing up the ladder with Ray at Smoke, but eventually the law yielded to them. They were the line that the law didn't dare to cross. They were at the cusp of power, and it was intoxicating.

All the same, Canaan was in the middle of a firefight with with only him and Ray on one side of the street and a dozen men on the other. Ray was the sharpshooter between them, but they were pinned down. Canaan looked over at Ray and the male winked at him. "It's just you and me, Canaan, right?" Canaan nodded and smiled. He trusted Ray more than he trusted anyone, more than he thought he could trust anyone. Ray whistled and the shooting stopped. "It's been a nice run, Canaan. I'll ride to the top on your grave." Canaan's eyes widened as Ray shot him right then and there in the same spot where his Hollow Hole now resides.

No sooner had he been shot than did a black van rolled by just as Ray stood up from their cover. Ray looked at the van and ran off crying for the men to shoot it. Canaan's father rolled out the back of the van, and within seconds head shots were delivered and all of the firing squad lay dead. He ran over to his son's body and mourned for the next few hours until paramedics arrived on the scene, but it was too late. Canaan had died in his father's arms. His father continued to tell Canaan all the things he was proud of him for, for staying in school, for being such a good son, for doing his best in Smoke. Sure, Smoke was a gang at it's heart, but Canaan had rode up high before he was struck down... Canaan's father only lived a few years before he was killed by Ray as well.

~Zanpakuto Information~

Name: Tormenta

Release Phrase: "Cuando cae la oscuridad, la luz del día muere" / "When darkness falls, daylight dies."

Appearance:

Spoiler:

*Note: When swung this blade does leave a trail just like the one in the picture.

Type: Rapier

~Resurrección Release Information~

Appearance
Upon releasing his power, one hundred lightning bolts shoot out of Canaan's body. A tornado surrounds him drawing in anything it can into the lightning storm for additional damage. Upon completing the transformation Cannan will dismiss the storm tornado. As per every Arrancar he undergoes a change. His change isn't terribly drastic though, but it has a multitude of perks.

The most obvious change is that his hair is now a navy blue color and is long enough to go to the middle of his back. His mask is also removed and becomes two lines of mask fragments that are dagger shaped down his eyes. His eyes change from their steel blue, to a violet color. His clothing changes to become a form-fitting white segmented armor with a white trim to it. This armor is light weight and very flexible, non-conductive of any element, and is also about half the strength of his unreleased Hierro, but also offers a second layer of protection on top of his natural Hierro. This armor goes up to the base of his neck, and unlike most Arrancar releases this arm is all black. Over his thighs there is large spot of white, over his shoulders it's white as well, the bottom of his feet, and his waist is also white. The plates over his breasts are also white, and a small circle where his belly button is located is white. His hands appear relatively normal (see Passive Abilities) in this form but are also black with the palm of his hand, back of his hand, and top of his fingers (the fleshy part under his nails) all being white. His Hollow Hole is still visible in this form, but his tattoo is nowhere to be found....at least not anywhere he'll readily show in this form.

In this form he also has a long slender lion's tail (also black but the fur is white), about the length of his body. This tail possesses incredible strength (enough to level a building without much effort, so yes....it could break your bones or catch you in a death grip) and has no bones inside of it allowing it to be incredibly flexible. His feet are also covered with this material but are now digitigraded (meaning he walks on his toes now) which increase his speed and agility by high degrees. His eyes are also more cat-like now in shape and appearance too. His forearms and calves have blades coming out of it (think Grimmjow)

Abilities:

• Passive:

*Synesthesia - In his released state his condition is increased which severely heightens his sight, smell, etc etc. This allows him to be way more combat effective.

*HSR - Just like in his sealed state, he retains his ability of High Speed Regeneration. It works much faster now than it's previous form.

*Retractable Claws -.....it's just what it says.

*Immunity to electricity - His abilities grant him immunity to electricity as his body is grounded.

*Retractable Blades - ....yeah also self-explanatory.

*Smoke generation- He can generate a thick black smoke from his mouth and hands.

*Air/Smoke manipulation - Same as before. He can do small things (make small shields, small harmless knock back blast, etc etc) basically things that won't be game changing so to speak.

*Smoke Form - Same as before.

*Enhanced Hierro - In his released state his Hierro is worlds apart from his previous Hierro.

*Enhanced speed and strength - His speed, due in part to the way that he walks and stands now, has more than tripled in this form, and his strength, despite how lean he is, has also immensely increased.

*Enhanced agility - In order for his feet to be altered in such away, it changed his entire leg bone, and muscular structure. This change increased his agility three fold, making the already nimble Canaan much more readily available to dodge multiple attacks with relative ease.

*Wind Cutter - A toggle ability, but only for the fact that he can still be of use to his comrades without harming them usually it's active though. All the same, this ability grants his physical attacks the side effect of having his punches, kicks, knee jabs, etc etc etc, be accompanied by small micro blades of air that surround said part in a one foot radius. This just means that a simple dodge is not going to be effective. The blades are capable of finely slicing through flesh and bone. The cut is SO fine that it may take a moment for the bleeding to actually occur or for the enemy to actually notice they were even hit.

*Supercharged - His hair as well as the fur at the end of his tail, is super charged. Touching it even in the slightest will deliver enough volts to cause severe burn marks on the skin as well as paralyze an enemy for 2 posts. His skin (his actual skin not the armor he is covered in) is also now electrically charged, but it's more of a high powered shock. It will not cause full on paralysis but it will numb the body part it came into contact will. Does not go through weapons. Has to be actual physical contact of the skin.

• Active:

Ability Name: Smoke Screen
Type: Short Range - AoE
Range: 30 - 90 meters
Duration: Two posts

This ability opens up a hole on his shoulder, hands, and he opens up his mouth. By doing this he releases an extremely hot blast of smoke. If you inhale this smoke it will burn your throat and lungs without remorse. It can also cause 2nd degree burns along the skin. The smoke will fill the 30 meter range before it looses it's heat and becomes safe to wade into. It will continue to spread out for another 60 meters after that and just act as a smoke screen. The space here allows Canaan to move freely without being seen.


Ability Name: Drain
Type: Melee
Range: Close
Duration: 6 posts

With this ability, Canaan could kill any being that has blood. Drain pulls out oxygen from the enemy's body with each strike. Eventually the enemy won't have enough oxygen left in their body and they will die. Drain takes out enough oxygen to render that part of the body useless for two(2) posts.


Ability Name: Super Spark
Type: Ranged / Air
Range: 870 meters
Duration: 1 - 6 posts (depends on the form)

Super Spark is an upgraded form of Spark in his previous form. With Super Spark he can fire a total of six lightning bolts from his hands, and one bolt from his tail. His hair is gifted though, as he can whip it around to shower the enemy in little lightning needles. Getting struck by the needles will cause paralysis for 2 posts. These bolts (from his hands and tail)are capable of destroying buildings as well as paralysis for a single post. Super Spark can also be launched in the form of a large ball of lightning (from his hands) that can track down the target (will last for 3 posts before auto destruct occurs) Super Spark can also be used to form a Zanpakuto like blade for 6 posts. This blade can change it's appearance though to suit situations. Getting struck by the blade will cause numbness for 3 posts in that part of the body.


Ability Name: Insanity Cero
Type: Ranged
Range: 400 meters
Duration: 5 posts

This cero is his own signature cero. He dubbed it Insanity Cero for the sheer fact that it is far greater than a normal Cero, a shade less powerful than a Gran Rey, but it requires no charge time and is much faster than a Gran Rey. Insane qualities all put into one attack. The cero looks like a raging cyclone of wind and is rather hard to miss. Upon impact (be it with the ground, an object, or a person, it will shatter into hundreds of thousands of blades made of wind. From these blades come smoke that burns and blinds an enemy. This smoke also has the property of hiding Canaan's reiatsu. The smoke covers the area within 500 meters. This thick black smoke is impossible to see through and is under Canaan's control, which gives him the capability to keep it in place even against hurricane force winds, or to move it along with the enemy so that it seems to go on forever.


Ability Name: Elemental Fury
Type: Air
Range: Within his eye sight
Duration: 1-3 posts

This ability allows him to use the air for a variety of defensive and offensive techniques against other elements. It's a simple technique that involves the following:

Approved.

Made a quick edit to the personality after seeing a rather humorous video clip >.> Sorry. JUST the personality got changed though.

Quote :

If an actual person is caught inside one of these attacks they will die

controll over life and death
Fienting would be more appropiate

Elemental furry -
Although air is a formidable element remove a couple of elements from this and they shall become your weekness. I would recomend water being one of them as its rather tricky, and lightning as your already iemune so ya wouldnt care if your struck by it

Other than that
APPROVED

Loving it by the way

Well really the only one people would die from is Earth and Fire...Water too, but I mean he's not targeting people with this attack. It's not made for people. It's made for pesky elemental jobbers. And actually I forgot about the lightning immunity.....


All the same! Heh. You get stuck in a vacuum, you're not gonna be able to breathe, but I will change that to feinting. If, however, you are caught in a high speed erosion process good luck to you on that one. A lack of skin is probably going to cause death lol. >.> It's not so much that I'm saying "Hey! I'mma gonna kill chu!" it's more like "Hey. Don't be dumb and try to intercept this attack...."

So long story short:

-Switch out fire to feinting (assuming someone is dumb enough to try and enter a vacuum...)

-Be rid of lightning

-But can I still keep water? Since you do need oxygen to get water, and he's really just drawing it out. No oxygen, no water.

Give water a longer duration then

and yep im already forseeing people walking into a vaccum

Added feinting for water too (since it also has to do with removing oxygen and what not)

APPROVED

Spar or mission?

Mission.

FULL APPROVAL

Why is this in char creation? still needing approval for something?

He's revamping it.

Yeah...I basically want this to stay the same (since I'm basically god) and I want to be the King.


On that note I move that we re-do the entire Arrancar system so it goes from 1-10, and then there is (as I said) a King. It makes more sense that way...

Fine. Since you didn't change anything and you just want a rank up, I don't think this needs a second vote...


Rank up approved. As for the whole King thing. I'm pretty sure it's just your ego talking...but I guess that's fine, if others are cool with it too...Whatever.

Edits Approved.
