Name: Risa de Matar/Mata Risaru (Approximate Japanese Translation)
Age: Do Arrancar age? I guess somewhere over 500 years would be a good approximation
Gender: Male
Species: Arrancar
Appearance:
Risa has a thin build, very similar to Di Roy Linker, his muscle mass being fairly mild and his collar bone and rib cage being noticeable in his form. He dresses in only a white unamori hakama. He does not wear shoes or a shirt. His #1 tattoo is located on the palm of his right hand.
Side: Aizen
Rank: Espada #1
Weapon Description: Risa’s zanpakuto is a wakizahi in its sealed form (see pictures, sheathed and unsheathed). It measures about 45 centimeters.
It becomes a meteor hammer when released. The ball can change its size and weight depending on the reiatsu Risa exerts. (Bottom of page, big round thing, rope measures about 4.5 meters)
Hollow form: Originally Risa was a baboon like hollow. Standing a little taller than a man with a gaping hole in his chest, Risa was one of the few and far between Vasto Lorde class Menos. The baboon wore the mask in the above picture. Most interesting feature about Risa’s Hollow Form- His hollow hole formed a spiral instead of being completely empty.
Released form:
La Alegría de La Locura (Joy of Insanity) - There are only two major changes that occur for Risa’s resurreccion. Firstly, Mayal de Mono changes from its wakizashi form to its meteor hammer form. As well, Risa’s lower portion of his hollow mask, the grinning face part, connects to the pieces that remain in his unreleased state. Other minor changes, like his eyes glowing a little bit more, his muscle mass increasing by about 2% and becoming about an inch taller, occur. His hair also spikes up a bit more, making his hollow hole more visible.
Fraccion: Two short, child-like Arrancar serve as Risa’s fraccion. In appearance they look similar to Nel Tu in her child form, except for the fact that their bodies are almost entirely made up of the white segmented armor familiar to Adjuchas. Their masks make up a large grin on their lower faces, one’s mask continue up the right side of its face, covering from its nose over, while the other does the same except for on its left side. They both sprout prehensile tails, like those of monkeys. They carry small dagger like zanpakuto that have no specific powers. They have completely instantaneous sonido with almost no restrictions, but they do tire easily.
When released they become huge gorilla like Hollows that are completely white in color except for their chests, which are a kind of green-black hue. The only powers they gain in these forms are incredibly enhanced strength and increased speed. Risa calls them Maravilla and Colera, though they both respond to either one. They speak in high-pitch, childish voices.
Powers/Abilities:
Reiatsu Master- Risa has almost complete control of his reiatsu, enabling him to create walls of spirit energy and other powerful techniques like that with ease. It also allows him to focus his reiatsu in specific points, effectively granting him another long range weapon.
Instantaneous Sonido: A variation on regular sonido, this technique allows Risa to move almost instantaneously in an area of about a square meter, making him untouchable to most frontal assaults. This technique can be used in rapid succession, but it drains energy quickly. His sonido returns to an above average, but much slower speed outside that range.
Localized Hierro: Risa’s hierro, while not the toughest of the Espada, has the ability to become completely impenetrable by focusing his reiryoku in one specific spot. This is only effective on small areas, usually like a hand or a portion of a limb. The rest of his body remains protected by a slightly above-average hierro as well, on par with a mid level Espada when this technique is in use, and strong enough to take a hit from a high-level bankai when not in use.
Enhanced Cero: Risa has a powerful Cero that is a dark green in color. It fires in a variety of ways, varying from a long range laser-like shot, to a broad fan shape. Its power is slightly below a Gran Rey Cero, which Risa does not use.
Cero Dios- Risa’s personalized Cero; this variation creates a pure white cero from the end of Mayal de Mono. The energy is then concentrated into a ball of cero that is released as a huge wave of energy, similar to a kamehameha wave. This attack is powerful enough to physically breakdown reishi in the air, creating a star-dust like effect in its wake.
Garganta: How Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. 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.
Transformation Abilities: Risa retains all of his previous abilities while being granted a few new ones as well.
Reishi Condensation: In his released form, Risa gains the ability to condense his own spirit particles, even those that make up his physical body. Similar to concentrating reiatsu, Risa condenses his reishi into a specific part of himself, most often a limb or his head almost instantly, though there is a brief second where Risa is completely vulnerable when the technique begins. The most useful form of this technique is dodging, though because his zanpakuto, as a hollow, is an extension of his body, Risa can actually condense himself into Mayal. However, when condensed into any part of himself, that part cannot move unless already in motion. This makes this technique highly ineffective in battles against fast opponents.
Enhanced Localized Hierro: Risa’s localized hierro increases in the total area it can cover, extending to a whole limb or his torso and head. However, the other parts of his body that are not affected reduce in hierro strength, only able to block lieutenant level Zanpakuto.
Enhanced Sonido: Risa’s instantaneous sonido increases in range, allowing Risa to move instantly within a range of about 10 square meters.
Sword Name: Mayal de Mono
Personality: Risa is insane, quite literally. His attitude swings like a pendulum, varying from relaxed and calm one moment to laughing hysterically to being deadly serious to incredibly depressed and back in a matter of minutes. Typically he is amused by everything and everyone, though he can become annoyed with those who interfere with his activities. His is an avid fighter, thrilling in death and destruction, as well as mental torture. He especially enjoys watching opponents lose all hope or watching an overconfident enemy realize they are going to lose. He can be cruel to others, specifically the other Espada as he enjoys breaking them down from their prideful pedestals, but he can be caring, especially for his Fraccion, though this may just be a charade to get others to have compassion for him. Mostly, the world is a joke to Risa, finding the majority of things funny, if not hilarious. Even in defeat Risa somehow is able to see the funny side of his loss. Risa contains no respect for authority, though he does understand when to back down. He also holds no allegiance to anyone, even his current leader, instead serving those he thinks will bring the most fun.
Bio: Risa remembers very little of his life before becoming a Hollow. The majority of his memories consist of some sort of military training and a battle where he and his fellow soldiers all died against enemy forces. He says that from there his body was dumped into a lake or river or even the ocean and forgotten. This abandonment, as well as the brutal nature of his death drove Risa to a point of insanity even before becoming a Hollow.
After his transformation Risa began to devour like any other Hollow except that sometimes instead of eating a soul, he would kill a live person and then let them become a Hollow and then eat them. Eventually his power grew great enough that he began to chase souls and then let a Shinigami appear and devour them. However after a near loss, Risa escaped into Hueco Mundo and began devouring hundreds of other Hollows, eventually becoming a Gillian.
After a very short time as a Gillian, Risa become an odd monkey-like Adjucha who was completely and totally insane. He was often avoided by other Hollows, especially Adjucha who he was able to devour like any other soul, mostly due to his ability to “vanish” as he called it. Soon, and the details are even fuzzy to him, Risa somehow became a Vasto Lorde. As such, he had little to do but test his powers on other Hollows and occasionally enter the human world to eat human souls.
But for one who thrills in battle, Risa became incredibly bored with this tedious life-style and when Arrancars began to appear once again, Risa thought it smart to join in on the fun. Now he just waits for the opportunity to destroy everything….
