Baraggan Luisenbarn

Basic Information
Name: Baraggan Luisenbarn
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Arrancar or Espada: Espada
Number: Formerly Second;
Looks:

Spoiler:

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 The location of his Espada tattoo is unknown as well as the location of his Hollow hole. The remnants of his Hollow mask takes the
form of a five pointed crown just above his forehead.

When he was the King of Hueco Mundo, his crown had four elegant protrusions which were ornately decorated.


Resurrection Information
Name: Arrogante
Represent: The Lord or King of Skulls
Family:
Gravity, Poison, Darkness, has no real set family
Looks: When releasing his Zanpakutō, Baraggan holds it out in front of him with its axe-head pointing downwards, and declares the release. The
slit-eye pendant between the axe-blades then opens, and begins to
release numerous jet-black flames that literally burn away Baraggan's
flesh, reducing his entire body to little more than a skeleton,
complete with his head becoming a skull and his hands and arms reduced
to bone. However, he retains both of his armbands. Afterwards,
Baraggan's body becomes draped in a black cloak, with a pitch-black fur
collar around his neck, which gives him a macabre, Grim Reaper-like,
appearance, which looks similar to his original hollow form. Several
lengths of golden chain, originally worn like a belt around his waist,
now dangle out of either of his sleeves. The pendant from his Zanpakutō
is now worn around his neck as an elegant necklace. The sandals of his
uniform become white, pointed-toe boots. His crown-like mask fragment
turns into a full, extravagantly-decorated and bejeweled 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.

Techniques
Name:Time Dilation Field
Description: 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. He used this aspect of the ability in his fight against Soifon
and Ōmaeda, so that they were incapable of landing a hit on him. The
ability also allows him to accelerate the age of whatever he touches,
causing the appropriate damage that comes with aging. This portion of
his ability was used to age Soifon's left arm to the point that its
bones became so brittle that they eventually broke.


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.
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.


Enhanced Hierro:
Baraggan also appears to have a strong Hierro, taking a direct hit from
Soifon's Jakuho Raikoben and only having the left part of his skull and
his lower right arm destroyed.^[34]
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.
Sonído Master:
Despite his aged appearance, Baraggan has a mastery of Sonido. His
proficiency in Sonído is so great that he was able to get behind a
surprised Soifon (one of the most proficient in Shunpo in all of Soul
Society) and lightly tap her on the shoulder, while the latter could
only react with confusion at what just transpired.

• Enhanced Time Dilation: 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. He is also protected from most close-range, and melee attacks; mainly because everything that comes within a specific range of him rapidly ages and disintegrates before actually making contact.Baraggan demonstrates being able to deteriorate numerous rocks thrown at him by Ōmaeda's Shikai, as it makes contact with his field. He used the ability on Sonifon's Bankai and made it explode far away from him, allowing him to escape the explosion.
  

Respiraresupira; Spanish for "Breathe", Japanese for "Breath of Death"): Baraggan unleashes a black, smoke-like, miasma that radiates outward from him. The Respira immediately ages and rots anything that it comes onto contact with. It can move fast enough to strike even Soifon
while she was attempting to escape from it at full speed. The breath
decays the skin on Soifon's left arm until only shredded clothes and
her arm's skeleton are left behind. Even after escaping the attack, the
deterioration continued until the afflicted area had been amputated.
Another notable aspect of the ability is that Baraggan can control its
speed, as he purposefully released a slower Respira when chasing Ōmaeda.Respira can even dissolve Kidō, as Baraggan demonstrated when he destroyed a Kidō cage that Hachigen had imprisoned him in.
Baraggan explained this effect by stating that because all living
things eventually die, the things that they create eventually die as
well.

Under normal circumstances, Baraggan is protected from the effects of
his own ability. However, this protection is negated if his Respira
somehow enters his own body.

Gran Caída (滅亡の斧 (グラン･カイダ), guran kaida; Spanish for "Great Fall", Japanese for "Downfallen Axe"):
Baraggan now wields a Resurrección form of his original double-bladed
axe, which he keeps hidden within his cloak. 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 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."

History and Personality:
History: Before becoming an Espada,
Baraggan was the undisputed God-King of Hueco Mundo and original ruler
of Las Noches. He reigned over an open court with many servants and had
a large army of Hollows. He was increasingly bored as a result of
nothing to do, nothing to conquer and no one to defeat, thus rendering
his army nearly useless. It's only purpose had become awaiting the
invasion of another force. Unexpectedly, Baraggan receives news that
someone has killed one of his subordinates. Then Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen
appear at the entrance to the court. When a large Hollow attacks Aizen,
Tōsen steps in and kills the creature with very little effort. Aizen
then states that that he and Baraggan have never met before and asks
him if he is the king of Hueco Mundo. Baraggan confirms his status, and
asks Aizen who they are. Baraggan pointed out that they had no masks,
which made it obvious to him that they weren't Hollows, which led him
to ask if they are humans or Shinigami, however the question was not
answered. Despite asking, he stated he had very little care about what
they were, stating that he was so bored that if it weren't for their
arrival, he would have split his army in two and made them kill each
other. He then welcomes them to his palace of Las Noches.^[2]
Tōsen comments that it's interesting that Baraggan calls a place
without walls or a ceiling a palace, asking if it's a joke on his part.
Baraggan plainly states that he has no need for a ceiling, as he is a
king and the very sky of Hueco Mundo is the roof of his palace. Aizen
unsheathes his Zanpakutō and asks that Baraggan take a look at his sword and tells him that its name is Kyōka Suigetsu
as he holds it up for all to see. Baraggan questions what he is doing,
to which Aizen asks him if he is happy with what he has. Baraggan only
stared confused at Aizen. Therefore, Aizen starts over by asking if he
ever feels that this place is not where he should be, asking him if he
wants to rise even higher, simply stating that he will aid Baraggan if
he follows him. He further states that if he does so, he will give him
more power and a new world. Baraggan laughed at the notion, and claimed
that he was the king of Hueco Mundo, king of the world, that there was
no one higher than him and no new world for him. No longer amused by
the intruders, Baraggan ordered his army to crush them all. Aizen then
released his Shikai and in that instant, to Baraggan's surprise, his
army was decimated. Aizen comments that this is Baraggan's world. This
caused Baraggan to rise up from his throne and ready himself to attack
Aizen with his Gran Caída. But Aizen only stood there and
taunted Baraggan, stating that it's ironic that Baraggan, being the
king of Hueco Mundo, is dressed in black and ready to attack, and that
he looked just like a Shinigami.
Baraggan then tells Aizen to "Shut up" and that he will kill him with
his own hands, and will make him regret giving him power, as he is the
king, a god that will never die. He silently vows to hunt Aizen down
for all eternity.

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 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
enraged. Whenever this happens, he flies into a blind rage, and starts
cursing at his opponents.

Role-play Sample:

Quote :

I still
remember vividly the infinite sands of my kingdom, the kingdom that I generated
and brought to life with my own power and strength. To this day I won’t forgive
myself if I simply enable it to go on in such a fashion as this. I can’t bother
with being drawn in and outside of the pitiful world that you failures seem to
generate. You people with your pitiful dreams, you people and your horrid
hopes, you people in your hellish delusions of grandeur. It is as though you
look for something that isn’t there, and hope for something to come to past
that was never there in the first place. It’s pitiful to watch, and even more pitiful
to think about when I try to drift off and gain something that won’t bore me to
such a degree. It’s as though everything I try to forget about these worthless
pions seems to come back up and bother me.





The voice
of the arrogant giant of a man began to echoed throughout the area as he stood
to his feet enabling the beautiful sands to fit themselves in between his feet.
It was as though his sandals did nothing as he began to lift himself off of the
ground attempting to properly understand what it was he had been thinking of
over the time he had spent away. In truth he had been wasting his time resting
outside of the area for some time, yet now he was free to honestly do as he saw
fit the moment that the skies began to part above him and he could absorb the
heat which had been around and about him for such an extended amount of time.

Quote :

“I swear, even when we’re like this it seems like you’re…”
The lower half of Zetsu’s body began to speak as he began to notice
that something didn’t seem to figure into the current situation
properly attempting to understand that something didn’t seem too right
out of this setup. “Above you, in such a mannerism as this is not something that I take enjoyment in anymore then you like being beneath me…”

The
pale white half of his face began to show through as the other half of
his body began to speak with a heavy chuckle. It was obvious that his
words somewhat betrayed him even though his actions spoke the truth. He
would continue to wear a half cocked grin over the side of his face as
they continued to push forward.


“Please at the very least tell me that you…” one
half of a single plant began to make itself known from the ground below
as the other half appeared to be cut off in the first place. His yellow
eye lacked any real form or understanding yet in truth it seemed as
though he had no real intention on bothering with such minor details. “Will do as I command for the most part making things work how I want
them to.”
The man who had taken on the form of a random shinobi began to lift his
nose up into the heavens as though looking down on his other half.
Before he could even finish speaking he began to take a deep breath
before shifting his current position only to notice that his better
half had also noticed it as well.


“I take it that we have some…” The
black half began to speak as he drifted back into the earth slowly
motioning in the general direction of his proper target in the first
place. “Work to do, work to do…” the man who
had just worn half of a pale white face began to chuckle to himself as
he altered his form back into that of a normal man. It was as though he
was Slowly motioning himself in the general direction of the scent that
the two had picked up on. Continuing to run as one
carried his feet
above the cold hard earth, while the other dug and dove deeper into the
ground. All the while the real man who pulled the strings began to
shift his body from one plant organism to the next slowly exiting the
area for the time being.

Approved, but the 2nd Espada is taken. You'll need to be an Arrancar or pick a new Espada rank.

I'm listed as Arrancar, and just a former Espada like whatever Nell was.

Alright then, approved.
