Name: Acier Volonté
Age Appearance: 19
Real Age: 91
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Weight: 200 lbs.
Height: 5'11''
Personality:
Acier, in the shortest possible explanation, is a goofball. He rarely seems to take things seriously and can often be found running around Hueco Mundo or the human world causing some sort of confusion or havoc. Many of his peers often find themselves sighing or muttering some sort of curse when they see that punch happy Espada walk into their domains. They know that he is there for the sole reason of pestering them and offering his own brand of help. The childlike arrancar constantly has a fanged grin on his face that, surprisingly, holds no malice and is genuinely friendly. Despite his clumsiness off of the battlefield and his inability to stop asking questions he his generally liked by the other Espada, as long as he doesn’t try to help.
When need be Acier can become very serious and somewhat cold. When this occurs it is usually because he is called upon by the Primero or has been given a task of great importance. His playful smile vanishes and his clumsiness is replaced with the kind of noble gait one would see nobility in the possession of. He talks in a very curt and clean cut manner dropping all slang and contractions from his speech. This side of Acier is the side that his peers respect and the weaker fear. While this mask is on he will not hesitate to annihilate whatever gets in his way. Strangely, Acier rarely uses this persona when he is engaged in battle as he would rather look at fighting as a game, rather than the duty that it should be.
Acier is a warrior through and through. The prospect of starting some sort of rumble causes him to shake and tremble with anticipation, something a person may confuse with fear or pre-battle jitters. When in the heat of battle Acier can be heard laughing and growling playfully at his opponent. The more powerful the opponent the more fun Acier has. The idea of him losing, let alone dying, never crosses his mind as he focuses completely on the fight alone. If he does lose Acier often makes a vow to beat the person and may even offer a perverse form of friendship with them. If he wins he will rarely kill and instead mutilates his opponent so they will never be able to fight again. It is a strange form of mercy, but mercy none the less.
Acier as a hollow does not question the fact that he must eat souls and sees humans and weaker hollows as dogs. Sure, you may become friends with them, but you must always remember that they can and will be a source of food. With this in mind Acier often goes out to consume souls in parts of the world he rarely visits. He prefers to eat in Hueco Mundo though as he would much rather his food put up a fight than die at the slightest touch from his spiritual pressure.
Whenever Acier enters his resurrección his personality begins to resemble that of his past when he thought of himself as a king. He losses all sense of enjoying the fight and instead treats his opponent as if they were a peasant and he, their noble king, distributing righteous justice. He speaks in a condescending tone and vocalizes the fact that a king should never be forced to perform as his own soldier but even they know when to dirty their hands. It has been theorized that when he achieves his final form that his personality will descend further and he will become a being consumed with pride.
Appearance:
Acier isn’t exactly what one would consider an Espada to look like. Especially for one that is so far ahead in the rankings. His youthful appearance belies the fact that he is one of the older members and the smile that’s always present is enough to confuse most onlookers. His uniform is worn in a unique fashion that also makes him appear quite young. The white jacket is worn slightly open at the top revealing his mask fragments and his hollow hole. Attached to the collar of his jacket is a rather large hood that envelopes the arrancar’s face in shadows. A feature that is attributed to modern day trouble makers. He wears white bandages around his fist that reach halfway up his bicep and even more are wrapped around his feet. These bandages serve to hide the boy's ranking tattoo.
Physically the boy is decent to look at. He has mid length black hair that he often has to push out of his way during any task that requires excessive amounts of movement. These dark locks often cover one of his silver colored eyes and people often wonder if he has two. They usually don’t keep their attention trained on the single visible eye for too long though. Because of the boy’s perpetual smile his strangest feature is revealed. Acier, for some strange reason, possesses fang like teeth that are capable of biting through his spiritually enhanced skin, namely his tongue, much to his annoyance. This unusual feature is enough to distract and even frighten his weaker opponents.
Acier is not the tallest or the largest of Espada, but those rarely count for anything once spiritual pressure is thrown into the mix. He is lean and sinewy, his body being packed with large amounts of lean muscle that, in his past life, allowed him bursts of incredible strength. He has lanky limbs ending with both large hands and feet. Upon the back of his right hand is a large black number representing his rank within the Espada. Despite the fact that posses a very powerful iron skin, which he often calls Steel Skin, his abdomen and arms are covered in a number of scars that he amassed when he first became an arrancar. A feature he also gained upon becoming an arrancar was the placement of his hollow hole. The small golf ball sized hole is placed high on his sternum just below where the neck begins.
Hanging off of the boy’s left side is his zanpakuto. The blade is slightly smaller than that of others being only about two feet in length. The hilt is wrapped in a brown leather and it has no tsuba, or guard, to protect his hands. The reason for the blades short stature and lack of decoration may be because Acier prefers to use his fist in combat rather than his blade. Either way, Acier is a force to be reckoned with without the blade as it was his fist that allowed him entrance into the Espada and earned him the rank as the one of the most powerful Arrancar in Hueco Mundo, a rank that he wears with pride. The rank of the Segunda.
Ability Info
Fighting Style:
Acier's preferred style of combat is close range, hand-to-hand combat. The feeling of his iron like fist smashing into another's body sends chills down his spine. While fighting Acier makes use of his speed and superior iron skin. He dances about his opponent with feline grace, lashing out at their weak points until they lower their guard allowing him to step in and deliver a flurry of punches. Defense is all but nonexistent as he relies completely on his skin to protect him. While he prefers his own hands Acier is quite adept with a sword as well.
When armed with his sword he uses fluid motions, following through with his attacks to position himself in a more advantageous position. When used in conjunction with his Ressureccion abilities he shifts the battle ground, making it difficult for his opponent to find footing or giving himself the tactical high ground.

Zanpakuto Name:
Leon
Zanpakuto Appearance:
Leon is not much to look at, especially when compared to some of the more unique Zanpakuto that the Espada have been known to have. While in it’s sealed state Leon is a two foot long katana with no tsuba. The blade is an inch in width, making it just slightly wider than most. It’s handle and sheath are covered with brown leather, similar to the leather that covers Acier's body once he enters his Resurrected Form. It’s blade is chipped and worn showing how little Acier cares for it and how little it is used. Rust dots the lower portion of the blade and it is a miracle that the blade still cuts.
Resurrección
Release phrase:
Reign, Leon!
Release:
To release Leon, Acier will sheath it and then quickly pull it out and aim the blade toward the sky, making it seem as if he just threw it. Instead the sheath and sword will become a white powder that will manifest Acier’s true form. In his true form Acier’s arms are covered in the same material that hollow masks are made from, but greatly superior in terms of strength. The armor appears to be bands encircling his arms while the plates on his hand are more jagged and violent. Each of his knuckles has sprouted a claw like protrusion that is half an inch in length. His jacket is replaced by a strange hooded leather vest that remains open and along the neckline and in the hood is a large black mane that resembles the one he possessed as an Adjuchas class. His lower half is covered in lose brown leather pants that have large squares of the white armor attached for added defense. His canine teeth grow longer and his eyes take on a more feral appearance. His mask fragments become loser acting as an actual lion tooth necklace rather than just part of his body. Several white spires erupt from the crown of his head poking toward the skies. The one centered above his forehead stands taller than the rest. All of them are broken representing his fall as king, giving him the moniker “The Fallen King.”
Hollow Powers:
Imperar;; Acier's primary ability while in his Ressureccion is Geokinesis, or Earth Manipulation as it is commonly called. By willing his reitsu through the ground he is able manipulate it creating a variety of effects. He often changes the battleground beneath his opponents feet and creates various objects that he can use as improvised weapons. He is unable of creating anything with an excruciating amount of detail, the smaller things he creates often in the form of basic shapes or amalgams of them. Larger things, that require little or no finesse, prove to be much easier though, such as creating a grouping of stalagmites.
Cortadora;; Acier, at times, will find that his fist are not enough for his opponent, even in his released form. It is during these times that he uses his spiritual energy to craft a sword forged from stone. The stone sword, Cortadora, the Spanish term for Guillotine, has a triangular blade and features a hilt with a somewhat elegant cross guard. Despite being made of stone Cortadora is incredibly durable. Silver spiritual energy runs through it, preventing it from shattering upon contact, and also granting it the ability to cut like any other sword. The blade can still be shattered if enough force is applied to it. Even then it can be reforged so long as enough raw materials are still available.
Boosts:
When Leon is released Acier receives a massive jump in physical and spiritual abilities. His immense spiritual pressure is released enhancing his physical strength, Sonido, and the durability of his already powerful Hierro.
Bio
Background:
Awakening…
Acier awoke as a hollow with no memory of his name or what he once was. In his original form Acier resembled an average sized man with a jagged mask and claws. He did not understand much. The only thing he knew was the he had an overwhelming urge to eat and so he did. The hollow spent much of his time in the outside world eating any human that came to close. Eventually he found them to be much too weak and turned his attention toward the white dunes of Hueco Mundo. It was here that he began to eat his hollow brethren and it was during this time that he was able to amass enough to become a Gillian class. Acier was the dominate personality and he ruled the body with an iron fist.
It was here that a sort of kingly personality began to develop in him. He battle with other giant hollows and tried to quickly advance to the next stage. Acier found that he detested the other hollows who attempted to claw control away from him even as he slept. At time he felt as if he was going crazy but years later he found his salvation. Feeling particularly gutsy one day the Gillian class challenged a much smaller adjuchas class to a battle. The battle was hard fought and Acier lost much of his previous body, but he was able to win. He devoured the adjuchas and found his body shifting. He fell into a deep sleep and when he awoke he was in a form he would come to love. His kingly position displayed itself by transforming the hollow into a lion type adjuchas.
The King…
Acier assembled a pride of hollows and used their power for his own gain. Together they took down hollows that they themselves were too weak to defeat. Under his command they became a force to be reckoned with. Acier soon found himself growing tired of being a leader. He disliked the responsibility and missed the playfulness he once knew as a Hollow. Acier ran away from his pride and spent much of his time around the walls of Los Nochas. He watched the Espada and found himself longing to be one of them. Eventually he would get his wish. His former pride found him and showed them how much stronger they had gotten. Acier, succumbing to his desires, brutally demolished them and soon found himself falling into a deep sleep once more. This time it took much longer for him to awake. When he awoke several years had passed and had a humanoid form.
Rise Up…
Acier was strong, but nowhere near being close to Espada. With this in mind he battle against weaker arrancar and devoured them. It was during this time that his scars amassed and his love of fighting stemmed. Ten years later he was powerful enough to challenge the Espada. He worked his way up the ranks defeating the Espada one by one. He never killed them though and soon found himself facing the second. For some reason this Espada disturbed him and brought out a more vicious side to him. With malice in his heart he defeated the vile man and devoured him, increasing his power more. He next went to fight the Primero Espada, which he lost to. Acier, instead of becoming angry, gratefully accepted the position he had earned.

Role Playing Sample:
A torrent of swirling black energy that could best be described as pure chaos appeared in the skies of Karakura. It was yet another strange occurrence in the strange lives the citizens. This oddity, however, was not here to cause any sort of havoc or mayhem. Acier, the Tres Espada, stepped out from the garganta and floated in the skies above. Acier was here on what could best be described as a field trip. His usually monstrous amounts of reitsu and spiritual pressure were secured by nothing but his will power. It took all of his concentration from allowing any of that silver colored reitsu from slipping out and killing some poor human. He rested his left hand on his zanpakuto which was wrapped from point to grip in thick chains and had several locks on it.
The locks and chains would offer little resistance against his bestial strength, but they would remind him to keep from fighting, especially here. He looked down and watched as the humans went about their daily duties. He wondered what it was like to be human at times, but never enough to actually give up his powers and try it. "If only I could get my hands on one of those gigai thingies." he muttered. He pushed the thought out of mind and returned his attention to the humans below. A strange sound filled the air and Acier held up one of his hands to his ears. He blinked as the sound of horns declared triumph. "What is that?" he asked himself. He floated down towards the source of the sound and found a rather large building. He phased through the wall and his eyes widened as he saw a group of teenagers standing in front of a glowing box. He approached it and then looked at the glass part.
On it were two small men and what looked to be a yellow mouse. He watched intently for awhile and gasped when he saw the man in red hit the mouse with a flaming punch. That one action had Acier glued to the screen. He was there for three hours watching as a small plastic device was passed around. Eventually Acier amassed an understanding of what was going on. They were playing on a device called a television and they were playing a video game. The name of which he was unable to hear. Eventually the children left and Acier was left alone in the room. He approached the controller and picked it up. He grinned as he tapped a few buttons and selected his character. He remained there for an hour ,eventually, in his own opinion, mastering the game.
He was completely engrossed in his digital heaven and did not hear the residents return. He did however hear a shriek. He turned to face them, all of them pointing at what the saw; a floating controller. "Ghost!" they cried out in unison. The third Espada laughed nervously as he placed the controller on the ground and then left. He mentally scolded himself and returned to the roof on which he had first appeared. He sat down on the edge and sighed.
"This place is so boring alone." he muttered, drawing out the 'so'. He placed his hands behind his head and fell backwards, turning his attention toward the sky. He found himself thinking that the sky in Las Nochas is the same. Did that have any sort of significant meaning? Acier shrugged and forgot about it instantly. His mind returned to the game and he grinned. He jumped up and pulled on his hood, the large white cloth casting a shadow over his face obscuring all but his fanged smile. He brought up his fist and pretended to fight an imaginarey opponent. He faked left and let lose a hard upper cut before pulling back his fist.
He inhaled deeply as he prepared his "special attack". "Falcon," he said and then took a large step forward, "Punch!" he shouted at the top of his lungs his right fist rocketing forward. The boy forgot his strength and ended up sending himself forward off the edge of the building. He cried out, forgetting that he could fly, and landed with a loud crash, shattering the asphalt below. Men and women everywhere stopped and stared, looking at the human shaped crater that was know there. Acier stood up and brushed off his clothing. "I hope no one saw that." he said before rubbing the back of his head.
OOC| I'm not sure if I'm allowed to leave Hueco Mundo. I just figured that it'd be more fun and much more chaotic to have Acier out in the human world. If I'm not I'll delete the thread and start another someplace else.
POOC| Lawl, he discovered Super Smash Bros.
