History and Personality:
History in the Anime: Shortly after Grimmjow has his arm removed and burned by Kaname Tōsen, Luppi is appointed to the rank of Sexta Espada, and leads the third attack on the human world. He is joined by Yammy Rialgo, Grimmjow and the newest Arrancar at that time, Wonderweiss Margera. His group is quickly engaged in battle by Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto as well as Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa.
Luppi engages in battle with Yumichika but tells them that he rather fight all four at once and proceeds to release his Zanpakutō. Wasting no time, he attacks Hitsugaya with all his tentacles and temporarily removes him from battle. His attacks prove to be to much for the combined forces of Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Rangiku, and just when he's about to finish off Rangiku, Kisuke Urahara shows up to save her.
Having left Captain Hitsugaya for dead, Luppi is trapped by Hitsugaya's Bankai ability, "Thousand Years Ice Prison", but is shortly after saved by a Negación. Once having returned to Hueco Mundo, Luppi expresses his anger that their attack was nothing more then a diversion to capture Orihime Inoue. When Aizen asks Orihime to demonstrate her power by restoring Grimmjow's arm, Luppi tells Orihime that there is no way she could heal something that does not exist, and threatens to kill her if she is unsuccessful. However, once he sees her power in action, he is left in awe. With his arm restored, Grimmjow quickly disposes of Luppi, by impaling him with his restored arm and blasting Luppi's entire top half away with a Cero to regain his status as an Espada. With his last breath, Luppi curses Grimmjow.
Personality:
Luppi seems to be rather arrogant, insulting Grimmjow for his lowered rank and boasting constantly when in battle. He mocks his enemies by saying "Sorry!" in a sarcastic tone after insulting somebody, as well as by licking his lips and noting the odds against his enemies out loud (i.e. 4-on-8). Luppi and Gin Ichimaru, on the other hand, seem to have been on good terms, as Gin comments about being lonely after Luppi's death, citing the fact that the two often spoke. Though in a Shinigami's cup skit, after Gin makes a friendly comment on it, Luppi gleefully denies this fact, much to Ichimaru's dismay. In battle, Luppi seems unsatisfied with fighting opponents that posed no challenges to him, going so far as to invite multiple opponents to attack him simultaneously during his battle in Karakura Town. Luppi has also shown that he likes toying with his opponents in battle, especially if he doesn't consider them a threat. He seems to be easily irritated, however, rising to the simplest of taunts. He was a bit perverted, commenting on Rangiku's breasts, but almost immediately afterwards, he threatened to kill her. He was clearly vengeful, as when the mission was over and he was still alive after Tōshirō Hitsugaya's attack, he vowed to the young captain he'd be back to kill him.
Role-play Sample:
Luppi was walking down on the corridors of Las Noches. His footsteps loudly echoed between the empty walls. Every time he arrived at a crossroad, he stopped for a moment, scratching his head a bit before taking the right route. It was easy to lose one’s way in this huge bulding. The espada was heading to the meeting point to join Grimmjow, Yammi and that new arrancar boy, that Wonderweiss. They are going to the Human World. Finally. His first mission as an espada! And he will get to taunt Grimmjow as much as he want. Just by thinking about it, he started to giggle. That one-armed loser never deserved to be an espada, it’s just natural that he could take his place now. He felt so lucky! If this goes on they will meet those shinigami reinforcements pretty quickly. Luppi wanted to fight all of them at once, just to prove how superior he is to Grimmjow. He was really suited to fight off multiple opponents with that resurrección of his. Soon, he arrived at the site. Yammi and Wonderweiss were already there, of course it was Grimmjow who didn’t make it in time.
„How surprising, we’re still one member short. And he was so enthusiastic to come. What could have happened, I wonder? Well, it’s not like I care, he’s just a former espada.”
Luppi said sarcastically, enjoying the moment of triumph. Even without hurrying too much, he arrived earlier than him.
„Hm… come to think of it… shouldn’t we just go without him? I doubt he will be useful with having a missing limb. At least it’s still better than losing a head.”
Just when he finished his sentence, Grimmjow appeared with a sonido, asking for pardon in his usual careless manner.
„There he is, spoiling my fun. Oh well… it can’t be helped. Let’s go then.”
Luppi opened a garganta and stepped into the darkness, leading the team to their destination.
