Jacques Kyoukan

Name: Jacques (first) Kyoukan (last) (I wanted to make a name change here)

Age: 265 (visually early 30s)

Gender: Male

Height: 5’10

Weight: 145

Appearance: Jacques wears white with black trim as nearly all Arrancar do, but his garb is customized so it is exactly like an expensive, pinstripe Armani suit. The suit and pants are white with thin black pinstripes and trim, and his shirt is black, as are his shoes. He wears black gloves, and a white neck tie tied with a Windsor knot. . He carries his Zanpakuto in a leather holder in his right sleeve so he can instantly shoot the hilt into his hand and flip it to an attack position. He also has a silver cigarette case and matching lighter in his suit jacket.
His Hollow mask covers his entire head like a balaclava, showing only his mouth and chin, and his eyes and the bridge of his nose. His Hollow hole is located over his left pectoral, where his heart would be.

As sort of a trade off for his sealed Zanpakuto’s length (it is a butterfly knife with the blade only 6 inches long), Jacques’s Hierro is highly durable even by Espada standards. It allows him to effortlessly block sword strikes from blades in Shikai state from even Captain class shinigami. As such, he tends to fight hand-to-hand unless forced to release his Zanpakuto (if an opponent uses their Bankai, for example). However, Jacques’s favorite way to kill someone is to stab between two vertebrae, severing the spinal cord and causing paralysis in his victims so he can watch them slowly die.

Personality: Jacques is a consummate actor, and appears to be charming and charismatic to everyone he encounters, just reeking of confidence and suaveness. However, his true personality is that of a sociopath, one without conscience, one that is completely hedonistic, and one that is so cunning and intelligent that even without his considerable power, he’d be a dangerous opponent. A curious idiosyncrasy he has is to refer to women he finds very beautiful as “ma petite chou-fleur” (French term of endearment), women he finds pretty as “ma cherie”, and women he finds passable or ugly as “mademoiselle” or “madame” respectively. He considers himself the perfect assassin.

History: Jacques was born in Paris, France. His father was French and his mother was Japanese. When he was 5, his father left his mother and she was forced eventually to resort to prostitution to keep herself and her son alive. Jacques learned that France was not free from prejudice, and had to deal with bullies himself. He felt intense pride in his Japanese heritage despite the jibes of his classmates, and secretly bought many books on the art of ninjutsu and taught himself to fight. This resulted in him putting many would-be bullies into patients in the emergency room. As he got older, around his teens, he entered a gang. But unlike most of the gang members, who were there for fun, for sadistic pleasure, etc, Jacques schemed to become the leader of the gang. He succeeded in this goal before he graduated from high school. It was then that he found out the gang was part of a massive crime network, with a single person in power at the very top of the hierarchy. By the time he graduated from college, Jacques was that man. A peculiarity of Jacques was that he enjoyed going out on “missions” with the common gang members. Time and again he gained respect for his skill at remaining unseen and assassination. However, he died at the age of 29, cut down by a sniper’s bullet, betrayed by an ambitious underling.

When Jacques became a Hollow, he took on a very reptilian appearance. Despite his average size, he possessed great power and cunning even as a Hollow, and very quickly progressed to Menos and Adjuchas stages. As an Arrancar, he basically just took the position of Fraccion with an assassination.

Custom Hollow Abilities:

Ability 1 (Disfrazado Perfecto): Jacques has the ability to mimic the appearance of any humanoid he can possibly imagine along with their voices. This ability has the following limitations- in this form, he cannot replicate said humanoid’s abilities; however, he does appear to give off the same reiatsu as said individual would. He cannot release his Zanpakuto, attack with it, or use Arrancar attacks like Bala and Cero without the disguise vanishing (leaving hand-to-hand as his only covert attack while in disguise). If he mimics someone other than an Arrancar, he retains his Hierro, and so where a human/shinigami/whatever would be injured, he will appear unscathed. Obviously, he will not gain knowledge of anything that humanoid might know upon taking their appearance. A variation of this ability is mimicking the background around him, making him effectively invisible. When invisible, he cannot make very fast movements without giving himself away, meaning he cannot use Sonido. Nor can he attack, even hand-to-hand.

Ability 2 (Instantáneo Regeneración): True to his reptilian nature, like some reptiles, Jacques is capable of regenerating all non-vital parts of his body more or less instantaneously, so long as he has the reiatsu left to do so. The amount of reiatsu he must take to regenerate whatever part is proportional to that part’s size. A finger is more or less trivial, an arm or leg requires more reiatsu to grow back.

Ability 3 (Muerte Erróneo): This ability allows Jacques to fake his own death. Basically, he “sheds his skin” to form a perfect replica of his corpse, which drops to the ground. At the same time, he uses his first ability to get away undetected, to perhaps come in from the cold and backstab an opponent who thinks he has one.

Ability 4 (Beso del Sueño Eterno): Jacques skin is covered in microscopic spines (think like Spiderman). They are impossible to physically feel or see without special equipment. Each of the spines is hollow, but contains a powerful venom. This venom consists of ATPases and phosphodiesterases. The first disrupts the victim’s energy fuel use, and the second lowers blood pressure, which causes the victim to feel fatigued. Injection at any point of the body will eventually spread everywhere. All it takes to inject a person is for said person to come into contact with Jacques, bare skin to bare skin. (as a side note, this is why he wears gloves nearly all the time).

Venom Effects:
1-3 posts after injection: No visible or tangible symptoms occur at this time.
4-6 posts after injection: Target will start to feel fatigued and listless. Limbs will seem heavier and harder to lift, as if after a hard workout.
7-9 posts after injection: Target will start to feel exhausted. Their eyelids will start to feel heavier, and they’ll feel very, very tired. Limbs will seem even heavier, to the point where lifting one’s blade will seem a huge chore.
10-12 posts after injection: Target will be unable to lift their weapons at all, and only the strongest will still be able to stand.
13-15 posts after injection: Target will become unconscious from extreme fatigue and dangerously low blood pressure.
16-18+ posts after injection: Target will enter a deep coma.

Special note: If Jacques touches someone more than once, for each subsequent touch, it bumps the target up to the next stage of venom progression. For example, if Jacques touched the person a second time after said person posted twice, they would immediately go up to how they would feel at 4 posts after.

Zanpakutō Name: Diablo Divina
Sealed Zanpakutō:

Incantation to Release: Estar Despierto (Awake)
Resurrección: When Jacques releases his Zanpakuto, it has more of an effect on the environment, than on himself per se. His Hollow mask melts up over the top of his head to form a sort of demonic lizard like helmet. The mask extends down to his shoulders and down his arms. It goes down his back and wraps around his torso. Wings sprout from his back, and he gains a whip-like, prehensile tail. His release is unique in that it releases his considerable reiatsu into the area around them, and alters the very effect of reiatsu itself. While outside of his body, the reiatsu is visible in the form of white tendrils that swirl through the air.

What makes this odd though, is even though the spiritual energy is in use on the environment; until it is physically expended it is still available for use and consumption only by Jacques. Large quantities of reiatsu are capable of being pumped into the air from their fused form, and at times can physically obscure things from sight if enough is released.

Jacques is also able to physically move the reiatsu in the air at her free will. It is similar to smoke in the way it behaves, and can be an annoyance to those who touch it. Those who touch it feel a slight burning sting, but it isn't enough to physically damage or hurt anyone at its current state.


Name: Primary Ability- Energía Mundo (Energy World)
Description: Energy World is a passive ability that is constantly in use while Jacques is in his resurrection form. The reiatsu that Jacques constantly releases allows him to manipulate all spiritual energy in the immediate area. Those within the tendrils of his reiatsu are subject to the energy world. Enough can be pumped out so that it is difficult to see.

Technique: The first effect it has, is that it instantly makes everyone's reiatsu visible to everyone. The color, the shape, and how much is being exerted. This is one of the lesser effects of energy world. It's mainly used to allow Jacques and his companions to track a hiding enemy, or see how powerful an attack may truly be.

Energía Mundo has two one main purpose. Due to the excessive amount of energy being poured into the air from Jacques, it has a dampening effect on his enemy's reiatsu. Enemies who are within the radius have any energy based attacks severely hampered, as it disperses it. The more distance an energy attack has to travel the weaker it gets before it reaches its target.

Name: Energía Duplicación (Energy Replication)
Description: See technique
Technique: Energy Replication does exactly what is name suggests. Jacques is capable of using his reiatsu in the area to mimic the energy/reiatsu-based attacks of an enemy. For example, let’s say an enemy uses a Getsuga Tensho or a kido, or Quincy arrows on him; it travels through his mist, whatever. As soon as that happens, Jacques can replicate that technique and use it as his own, and fire it right back. Jacques is capable of absorbing one technique per post. The same restrictions that apply to that opponent’s technique apply to Jacques.

Name: Acero Reiatsu (Steel Reiatsu)
Description: Jacques is capable of causing his currently released reiatsu to take a physically solid form. This allows him to make the reiatsu extraordinarily hard and sharp. The solid energy may be used to physically cut things, or act as a temporary shield. If used as a shield, the reiatsu is lost in the process. This has a myriad of uses, from raining down spears of reiatsu on an enemy, to being molded into a simple sword for Jacques to manually wield. If an attack misses, it simply dissolves back into reiatsu again.


Name: Balanza del Dragón (Scales of the Dragon)
Description: Some of Jacques’s reiatsu molds itself around his
entire body, except for his wings, and solidifies into a pure white scaled armor. It acts as an ultra-hard type of armor that has the primary function of reducing damage, but since it does cover all of his body, could be used as a bludgeoning tool if he attacked physically. The scales are so hard that they reduce nearly 90% of physical damage; only the
most determined attacks by the most powerful individuals will actually do any
damage. The armor is less effective against reiatsu based attacks, but if a
reiatsu attack somehow gets through Jacques’s Energy World, the armor will
reduce its damage by a further 50%.
