Basic InformationName: Locura Ash
Age: 1,366
Gender: Female
Rank: Former Espada
Number: 3
Looks: Locura, despite her age, does not look that old at all, possibly due to malnourishment she got earlier in life, possibly due to the fact that she has only been an espada for around 150 years. She has chocolate brown hair that's usually drawn into a ponytail. Her eyes somewhat compliment the brown, considering they're a lively green color, though they seem to get darker somewhat when she's in a battle. She stands at a height of 4'7", which is quite petite in her opinion, and weighs a measly seventy-nine pounds. Also, encompassing her entire back is a rather big scar, jagged and haphazard; they are there due to the many hollows she fought against.
When she was an espada, she wore the uniform like everyone else, though with a few modifications. She had added a collar to the uniform, so that the bottom half of her face was somewhat hidden by it. Also, near the sleeves of the uniform were some loose strips of cloth; she usually used them in battle to wrap the opponent with them. Finally, her skin color is pretty normal for one of descent such as hers, being extremely tanned. Now that she isn't an espada, she usually wears normal human clothes; seeing as how her hollow mask is unable to be seen by humans. She often wears a short-sleeved shirt that has a hollow mask printed onto it, which was made by her threatening someone into doing it. When it comes to pants, it's simple; she wears overalls that go to her knees. Though, they aren't the pants type of overalls, they're more of the dress kind.
To make up for the fact that with her current outfit, she can't utilize straps, she usually wears fingerless gloves, with straps of cloth wrapped around them. These strips of cloth are usually the same color as the gloves; as for shoes, she usually wears normal shoes such as sneakers that are blue in color.
Hollow Hole: Hand
Mask Fragment: Located on her lower right cheek and lower left cheek. If you were to try and put them together, you would realize they wouldn't fit together, due to there not being a piece covering her mouth.
Number Tattoo: Forehead
Personality: Locura is quite an odd character, considering she was the aspect of madness. She often goes off on odd thought processes; say you were talking about how the weather was acting up recently, she might come up with the theory that some all-powerful being was messing with the weather. When she's not going down one of these thought processes, she's a friendly person. She's polite and friendly to other arrancars and espada, though she isn't exactly nice to shinigamis.
In battle, she usually takes on the characteristics of madness once more. Usually, she attacks in strange ways, such as using the wrappings on her gloves to restrain the opponent. She usually attacks in a frenzy and with no real true battle style. Throughout a fight, she will switch battle strategies at random, which is quite an advantage, to say the least. Two quirks she has is the fact that she has taken a liking to sunflower seed kernels, and it's quite easy to bribe her to do something with them. Second of all, she often attaches -chan to the ends of people's names, even if they shouldn't be attached to someone's names; for instance, she often attaches it to the end of boy's names.
Sexuality: She has never been in a relationship, so she is unsure.
Relationship Status: Single
Resurrecion InformationName: Histeria del Fuegos
Represent: Dragon
Family: Fire
Looks: (Both paragraphs clickable) While not in the Resurreccion state, her sword is nowhere to be seen. When she needs to fight, it appears in her hand in a burst of flames. It looks just like a regular katana, save for the fact that it is just about as long as Locura herself, five feet long. It curves somewhat, and the hilt is wrapped in black wrappings. It is pretty lightweight, all things considered, and unlike most katana, it is capable of stabbing without injury to the blade.In her Resurreccion state, flames completely surround her. Wings akin to dragon wings are added to her back, along with a spiked tail. Her zanpakutou grows in size, easily becoming larger than her own body, around six feet or so, while regularly it is as long as her body. The flames around her also surround her zanpakutou, and a chain is added to the hilt of the sword, so as to better restrain the opponent. Finally, while in the Resurreccion state, her zanpakutou, when swung, always lets loose a wave of flames, whether it connects or not. Generally, these flames go for about ten feet before stopping, but can go further if reiatsu is added to it.TechniquesSkillsExpert Sonido user

Generic Arrancar techniquesBala is an Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate, but the damage is much the same. Stronger Arrancar can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.
Cero are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only Gillians, Adjuchas, Arrancar, and the Vizard have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently. Various Arrancar and Hollow characters display variants of the technique, such as the Espada-exclusive Gran Rey Cero, the Cero Oscuras that Ulquiorra Cifer can use only in his released form, as well as the Cero Sincrético performed by Pesche Guatiche and Dondochakka Bilstin.
Garganta is how Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Kaname Tōsen, Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi have also demonstrated 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.
Hierro refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar generally have proportionally stronger skin than usual.
Negación are energy fields are used to rescue fellow Hollows. Only the Gillian-class Menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the Menos that created the field. Espada have a special cube-shaped device called Caja Negación (反膜の匪 (カハ・ネガシオン), kaha negashion; Spanish for "Negation Box," Japanese for "Anti-Membrane of Negation") meant to simulate Negación fields, which are used to punish their subordinates if necessary. The cube, when used on a subject, traps them in an alternate dimension from which there is no escape; however, this assumes it is being used as intended. More powerful Arrancar, namely the Espada themselves, can escape given enough time.
Pesquisa is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions very similarly to sonar.
------------------
Name: Fire Sonido
State: Both
Description: This technique is basically her own version of the Sonido. When she uses it, flames burst up at the spot she was at, and they also burst up in between the area she used the Sonido at, and the area she ended up. This technique is quite useful in battle, obviously, when she uses it to go behind her opponent and they aren't expecting it. The flames that come up from this attack last for about two posts of the opponent.
------------------
Name: Dragon Might
State: Both
Description: As the name might suggest, this technique greatly increases her skills. It improves her already master swordsmanship, while also improving her other skills such as strength, speed, and other such things. It also greatly increases her reaction time. It's usually active at all times, and isn't too taxing on her reiatsu. Usually, it increases her abilities by roughly 20%, give or take on how much reiatsu she gives it. The max it can attain is increasing her abilities by 25%. She can use this more than once; for instance, she can increase her skills by 10% and, later in the battle, increase them up to the max, 25%.
------------------
Name: Heavenly Storm
State: Resurreccion
Description: This technique is a mighty attack, to say the least. When activated, the sky will turn red for a few brief moments before small meteors begin to rain down from the sky, racing towards the opponent. This attack is one of her most strongest attacks; also, when the meteors hit the ground, if they miss, there is an area of effect explosion of fire. This attack can be used by her three times throughout the fight, with a cooldown of three posts needed before it can be used again. The speed of the meteors vary, some might be fast or slow, so how easy it is depends on how fast or slow a meteor heading towards the opponent is. This attack last for one post of hers, and one post of her opponent's.
------------------
Name: Lava Geyser
State: Resurreccion
Description: The ground will shake for a brief moment before it is punched through via a lava geyser. This lava geyser is completely movable by the girl, and is much hotter than normal lava is, comparable to, roughly, 1/3 of the sun's heat, or 3,330 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, if needed, these geysers can explode and launch their lava outward in all directions, though Locura is immune to the heat due to the flames that surround her in Resurreccion form. This attack last for three posts of hers, It can be used two times throughout the fight, and it can be used again after the first use of it is over.
------------------
Name: March of the Dragon
State: Both
Description: A rather simple technique, though it is potent. By itself, this attack consists of pillars of fire expanding away from Locura, with a temperature of around six hundred degrees. However, it can also be charged with reiatsu, to make it go faster, as well as to make it more dangerous when it connects with an opponent. There are around six pillars, and it can be used the most out of her abilities, five times. As long as the opponent is able to keep away from them, they're relatively easy to dodge, though they are capable of making turns.
------------------
Name: Dragon's Breath
State: Both
Description: Locura's version of a bala blast. Instead of the normal bala blast, hers is infused with fire, as the name of her attack might suggest, and when it's launched at the opponent, it leaves a trail of flames behind it, in an area of five feet by five feet. The 'fire bala' itself is smaller then that, and therefore, much faster, but that doesn't mean it's any weaker than other bala blasts; the 'fire bala' is three feet by three feet. When it touches the opponent, it, like most of her attacks, explodes in an explosion of fire.
------------------
Name: Flame Shield
State: Normal
Description: This is extremely similar to her resurreccion's automatic flame membrane. Essentially, it acts as protection; when attacked, flames automatically protect her from the attack. Flames erupt at the location of the attack and, depending on how strong the attack is, these flames are capable of stopping it. At the least, the flames will slow the attack down enough for Locura to dodge it.
------------------
Name: Living Fire
State: Resurreccion
Description: This creates a large, sphere-like dome around herself and the opponent(s). It is her ultimate technique, and usually drains her after it is done being used. It is formed instantly, since it is formed from the flames that always surround her in Resurreccion. It encompasses roughly thirty square feet, and raises the temperatures inside of the dome extremely high; again, her flame membrane automatically protects her. Inside of this dome, the opponent will find his or her movement extremely restricted, since fire is striking at the opponent at all times; it's dangerous to even stand in one place for long. Locura has the capability of directing the the flames in this sphere, while at the same time, it's possible for the flames to attack the opponent by themselves. Also, in this dome, it is impossible to escape unless she stops it, and it also makes it extremely difficult to use water or ice attacks. Of course, if the water is cold enough, it will be able to survive for a couple of seconds. While the opponent is in this field, their reiatsu and energy are drained, adding power and speed to the flames that exist in the field.
Limits: This attack has a twelve post cooldown before it can be used again; it also can only exist for six posts. A drawback of the reiatsu and energy draining is that flames of hers have to connect with the opponent before the drain begins.
------------------
Name: Fire Mastery
State: Both
Description: A generic ability that would be expected of one like her. She is capable of generating flames anywhere and controlling them at will. It's possible for her to create many of these flame bursts, though she can only control around five or so at a time.
------------------
Name: The Insane
State: Both
Description: Befitting the (former) Madness aspect of death, she has a unique ability. She is capable of ignoring pain, along with bleeding, as well as any other hindering effect for three whole posts. When these posts are over, she feels the effects of any attacks that hit her during that time span. Note that just because she doesn't feel the pain doesn't mean she isn't affected by it. If an attack is powerful enough to kill her, she is obviously still going to die. A weakness in this ability is the fact that, if an opponent uses many small attacks that hit her during the three posts, at the end of the three posts, she would be more affected by them then she would have been if they hit individually. All attacks that had been launched at her during the three posts will add their strength together and cause her more pain then they would have individually.
History and RP SampleHistory: Locura Ash was not born under that name. She was born in what would become known as the country of Mexico, to her Mayan mother and father. Her birth name was Ix, and for someone who was born into a culture like the mayans', she was a rather friendly child, to both other children and adults alike. Eventually, her latent abilities started to manifest, often as bursts of flame that fought off hollows.
She was able to fight them off, honing her abilities, though she didn't go off looking for them. She wasn't particularly afraid of the hollows, though they came close to killing her and her family several times. As time wore on, her parents started to notice their daughter's frequent absence, and upon being questioned about it, she revealed what was going on. They didn't believe her at first until they saw an invisible creature, a hollow, smash into a building. Her parents grew to fear these hollows, but that wasn't what they should have feared; they should have feared actual people.
You see, her father had a rather jealous rival that envied the hunting skills her father possessed. The two of them had exchanged words once, not particularly good ones either, and had often ended up in a fight. The rival was a rather hateful man, and would go to any lengths to secure his position, so he plotted. He plotted to kill the father, and anyone that might spot him doing it; that was how, one night, her family's house had ended up on fire. When he tried to break into the house, he found her reading a manuscript, which were the books of the time, in the living room; she hadn't spotted him yet.
She had, however, spotted him when he attempted to go towards her parents' room; when she turned and saw the weapon he had in his hand, fire erupted around him. His scream awoke her parents, but they were unable to do anything; the flame spread throughout the house quickly and her parents died in it. She fled from the house and, for a time, lived out in the wilderness by herself before returning to the house. While in the wilderness, her personality...shifted, to put it lightly; she grew a bit crazy, punishing herself for having killed her parents. No one ever dared to get near the house once they heard there were three ghosts inhabiting it, though not everyone saw these ghosts. When she returned to the house, she saw her mother, her father, and the would-be murderer, trapped there until they became hollows.
By the time she had returned to the house, the soul chains of all three were already near the end, and the foolish bravery of one group of kids only served to accelerate the process. One day, just a short while after she returned to her house, a group of kids broke in. Ordinarily, she would have heard them, but she had stayed up extremely late the previous night, and was still tired. They were able to see the ghosts and, curious about the hole in the center of their chests, each of the three kids took a different ghost.
They proceeded to tear open the holes in the center of the ghosts, and the thing that awoke Locura were screams of agony. When she reached the living room, she saw the three hollows...and fled; she was so distracted during the next few hours that she had angered the wrong person and ended up getting attacked. She was unable to pass on, due to her attachment to her parents even though they were Hollows, and was unable to do anything as they rampaged through the small Mayan settlement or rather, the forest next to the town. Any time a person passed through it, they were consumed by the hollows, who never seemed to eat each other.
It took a while, but a foolish person also decided to open up her hollow hole as well; within minutes he was consumed. She was...mindless, during this state, and ended up wandering into the forest as well. She ended up joining in the consuming of the passing humans, and over time, began to remember her life. She caught glimpses of the other hollows in the forest, who didn't seem to be intelligent, and she began to hunt them. It didn't take long; due to her awareness, she was able to consume them easily. It was a duty that she wasn't able to do easily, but she did; her being a hollow probably helped loosening the restraints she would have had otherwise.
She began wandering throughout Central America after realizing she was in danger, since the Soul Society eventually took notice of the lack of human souls coming from the settlement. They had sent a shinigami to investigate, a rather low-ranked one since she was able to defeat it. Despite being a hollow, she realized there had to be stronger people than that; the shinigami had even said there were even stronger people than him before he fought her. In each town she visited, she found herself starting to devour the souls of hollows instead of humans.
It took many years, but she finally reached the point required to transform into a Menos-class hollow, transforming into a gillian. Almost as soon as she transformed, she found herself with a new ability, and found herself tearing a hole through dimensions, traveling to Hueco Mundo. She was immediately attracted to the Forest of Menos, feeling a large amount of hollow souls there. She quickly gathered many souls, finding herself consuming them faster than she would have if she stayed in the human world.
In roughly five hundred years, she had devoured even more hollows, enough to transform into an Adjuchas; she was surprised at the intelligence she gained, as well as at the strength she had gotten. It was rough, life as an Adjuchas, since so many other hollows sought to consume you, if they were so inclined. She defeated many other hollows that were like that, consuming them herself. It took considerable more time than her transformation into an Adjuchas, one-thousand years in fact, but she was fast approaching a Vasto Lorde form.
It didn't take long after the one thousand two hundred year mark that she consumed the final hollow needed to become a Vasto Lorde. The power, and intelligence, she had as one was incredible; she felt herself invincible, though she wasn't. It was around this time that she began to wonder what would happen if she took her mask off; surely something would happen. She didn't touch the mask though, on the off chance that she might get destroyed in doing so, but she was forced to, eventually. One day she found herself facing many hollows without a chance to beat them; the only thing she could do was remove her mask.
A huge explosion of power rocked the Forest of Menos that day, obliterating the many hollows before her. She found herself with a human form again, with comparable intelligence, though her thought processes were a bit messed up. She was surprised, not having expected such a result, and deciding that she wasn't as hollow-like as the hollows in the Forest, she left the forest. She found herself wandering Hueco Mundo, until she ran into others, Arrancars, like her; she found herself joining up with them. She was relatively strong, considering she had just become an arrancar.
Life as an espada was enjoyable for her; she had been rather lonely after becoming an arrancar. After all, she had no one to interact with, no one to be a friend with, until she found Las Noches. She quickly became friends with the lot of them, but around sixty years after she joined the espada, she found herself wishing to leave it. She had been betrayed, having become friendly with another espada. This other espada she knew soon thereafter killed the Primera espada, and the majority of the other espada had no objections against the espada that did it.
He soon left Las Noches though, not wanting to be attacked by espada that were not okay with what he had done, and she soon left the espada as well, unable to deal with the fact that other espada were fine with him killing their leader. In the human world, Locura chased after the espada that had killed the leader and killed him, after he had been weakened by another disgruntled espada that had shown up. This espada that had weakened him returned to Las Noches before she could talk to him. After the one that had killed her leader was dead, she stayed in the human world, not wanting to deal with espada that were okay with letting their leader die.
RP Sample: "You're telling me there's a group of hollows, fighting a squad of shinigami?" Locura questioned. She was currently positioned on a couch, lying sideways with her head being held up by her fist, and staring at the weak arrancar in front of her. "Y-Yes ma'm, I figured you would be the best one to inform, s-seeing as you're bored," the arrancar was stuttering, and she let out a sigh. He was obviously frightened by the power she possessed, and probably didn't want to be around her for another second. Than again, it could just be a tic he had...but arrancars didn't have those, as far as she knew.
Oops...going off on weird thoughts again she told herself, letting out a yawn as she stretched and sat up on her couch. "Fine fine, you're right, I have been bored lately. Thanks for telling me," she commented to the arrancar before standing up and stretching again. Hollows certainly were interesting when they were just basic beasts; they seemed to consume anything they got their eyes on, even if said anything was infinitely stronger than them. She wasn't going there to fight the hollows though; she was going there to fight the shinigami.
They had, after all, not seen her yet, since she preferred to stay inside the headquarters of the espada. She figured that they would have to find out eventually, and nearly killing an entire squad of shinigami was a good way to do that. "I'll be back in a little," she said to the arrancar, figuring he would inform the other espada. She walked outside of the large building she was in, and then formed a garganta in front of her; it opened up at Karakura Town, the site of a rash of hollow attacks. She figured that was the place the arrancar had been speaking of, and stepped through the portal.
She came out right on top of a battle between a group of shinigami, and one remaining, large hollow. It took a few moments, but the shinigami managed to defeat the hollow after it had killed one or two more of them. "Hello, shinigami," the young looking espada commented as her feet connected with the ground. The shinigami shouted at her, demanding to know who she was, and she let out a small giggle. "Will this answer your question?" she asked, lowering her collar a little so they could see the remains of a hollow mask.
Some of the shinigami were surprised, and with good reason; they stumbled backwards. "Now now, isn't there any strong enough, or brave enough, to fight me?" she questioned, stepping towards them as she pulled her zanpakuto out of its sheathe. "No? Fine, I'll just toy with you all then," she said before they managed to respond, smiling as a wave of fire pillars made their way towards the shinigami Some managed to avoid it, although others were caught by it. She was surprised when a shinigami rushed towards her; she blocked his swing with her zanpakuto.
"Ah, a lieutenant?" She questioned upon seeing his badge. "Of course, you could have just killed a lieutenant and taken his badge, couldn't you have?" Locura stated, before sending him backwards with her zanpakuto; he stopped himself after a few feet. "Since you're at least lieutenant level, I'll do you the favor of showing my Resurreccion," after she said that, she stabbed a shinigami running at her, then faced the lieutenant again. "Burn, Histeria!" she exclaimed; the area around her exploded with flames. She was completely covered with flames, so much so that she wasn't seen for a few moments.
When the flames went away, the remaining shinigami there would be able to see dragon wings on her back, some of her uniform torn up in the process. Also, near her bottom, they would be able to see the tail of a dragon as well. "Well, what do you think of my Resurreccion, shinigami?" she questioned with a laugh as flames burst up around her; a thin membrane of hotter flames also sprung up around her entire body. She tilted her head in amusement as the lieutenant in front of her underwent a change as well.
She was able to sense that his reiatsu rose quickly, and knew that he must be using his Shikai; this was confirmed when his sword's appearance changed, though she didn't look at it long enough to notice the specifics. "It won't help you, you know. I doubt a captain's bankai could hurt me," she said with another laugh, then she slashed her sword at him. A wave of fire rushed at the lieutenant, and he simply swat it aside with his sword. "Ooh, stronger than I thought; let's see if you can handle me then," she commented, a sphere of red flames appearing around the entire area.
"Living Fire!" she exclaimed, the sphere of fire glowing red faintly before solidifying; all of them were trapped in it until she decided to make it go away. The entire group of shinigami looked around, all except the lieutenant passing out from the fact that her sphere was draining their reiatsu. "I'll open up with my strongest attack!" she exclaimed to the lieutenant, pointing her sword up to the sky. "Heavenly Storm!" she shouted; many meteors fell towards the lieutenant quickly, and he dodged some of them. Unfortunately, that caused him to land near some of them just as they were landing on the ground and they exploded.
"Ooh, what's this? The strong lieutenant isn't able to keep up with a little girl?" she taunted, flying over to the man who had just gotten back to his feet. "As if! I can take you easily, monster!" he shouted, swinging his sword in her direction. A zigzag of darkness rushed towards her; she simply raised her sword and swung it at the direction of the darkness. The darkness zigzagged out of the way, and then hit her; a giggle escaped her lips as she landed on the ground, just a few scrapes and such on her body. "A pitiful attack if I've ever seen one." she taunted, brushing some flakes of dust off of her.
"Shut up!" the man shouted at her, leaping at her and swinging his sword at her. With a grin, she suddenly changed tactics, tossing her zanpakuto up into the air and leaped up over the man, landing behind him. She used one of her loose strips of cloth to grab onto the chain of the sword and pull it back to her. She grabbed at the shinigami lieutenant with her other loose strip of cloth, and when he was caught in it, she swung at him with her sword, again via her loose strip of cloth. It met with him right in the stomach.
"D-Damn you..." the shinigami growled as she released him and let him fall to his unsteady feet. "Just die!" he exclaimed, the area around the two suddenly growing dark; the next moment, black electricity seemed to crackle in the air. "Black Storm." she heard the man's voice, and the next minute, multiple lightning bolts struck her body. She was surprised, and weakened a little; the lieutenant had actually managed to hurt her. "Good...you're good, but I'm still alive," she said simply, before rushing forward and kneeing him in his wound. He gasped in pain and landed on the ground, a pool of blood coming from him.
"Go back to the Soul Society, tell them about me, alright?" She said, giving the lieutenant one last smile before returning to her normal state. The fire sphere they were surrounded in went away, and she sheathed her sword. "See ya later." She told him, before leaping up into the air and opening a garganta; she was back in Hueco Mundo within minutes. The other shinigami that had been struck out cold by her Living Fire woke up soon, and upon seeing the Lieutenant passed out on the ground, rushed over to him and brought him back to the Soul Society.
---------------------------------
Couple of notes you should be aware of...
I didn't take the animal it represents from that fraccion, nor did I take any abilities or weapon affiliations from said fraccion either.
As for her appearance, she looks like a child, mostly due to the fact that she's only been an espada for around 160 years. Also, I was reading through the applications on here, and noticed an espada that is/was 2 million years old while only looking like he's in his mid-20s, so I believe her appearance should be acceptable.
Finally, I realize the bio might be a bit short for all of the abilities she has, but I believe that with my Emiko application, I've proven I'm capable of writing much more, if the bio needs it.
