Name: Haydn Zappho
Age: 1000+ Had lost count... (Appears 19 or 20)
Gender: Male
Race: Arrancar/Espada
Appearance: At a height of five eleven, Haydn looks extremely lithe and slender, which further accentuates his arrancar uniform, which unlike most arrancar is quite fitting and looks more like a lab coat. In conjunction with this, he wears white gloves that hides all of his fingers except his thumb which shows his black polished fingernails.
His face can be considered feminine but never show any emotion, at all. He wears it like a mask, unmoving and is just placed there since he does not want to waste any unnecessary energy. His chin length hair which is parted more to the right and with bangs that wrap around the remaining piece of his Hollow mask, is as black as night. His eyes, bluer than the ocean, is dark and more deeper that anyone will get to see. The remainder of his Hollow mask is a horn that extends from the right of his forehead at the base of the first strands of hair and is half a foot long. His black bangs which are longer than most his hair is wrapped around it and hangs like vines.
His hole is located on the middle of his stomach. Above it is his number which is two.
Personality: Haydn is the current Espada scientist, being the most intelligent among them all. He views things rather differently than others, making sure to see them for what they are and what they are not and what they are supposed to be. Calculating and cold, Haydn rarely speaks as he believes that speaking, talking and fighting is all a waste of energy. It is for the same reason that he became Espada Dos since he has never been seen fighting and his resurrecion has remained a complete mystery to most. He also walks rather strangely since he has developed a style of moving that has the maximum amount of movement at the most minimum amount of energy use.
Unlike most Espada, Haydn does not think highly of himself and even seems to be quite interested in other creatures that are not arrancar or Hollow. He does not view humanity and shinigami as inferior and would even be wary of them as he believes that they have the same capabilities as any of their own. He also holds other Espada in respect, though he doesn't seem to show it much.
In battle, he still doesn't talk, but is a very powerful combatant. He doesn't seem to use his zanpakutou much and would prefer his arrancar abilities and his natural brute strength to overwhelm and cripple his enemies. Since he is very intelligent, he analyzes and takes note of all of his opponents strengths and weaknesses, enabling him to render their skills useless. He has only used his resurrecion once in a fight.
A thousand years ago, when shinigami invaded Las Noches, Haydn met a shinigami who destroyed him and gave birth to his current callous personality. Back then when he had just replaced the octava Espada, he was rather obnoxious, effeminate, flamboyant and overconfident. The shinigami he fought crushed that former self entirely.
Zanpakutou Description: His zanpakutou is named 'Extasis' (Ecstasy) and osthe same size as a regular katana. It's hilt is wrapped with a blue zigzagging hilt wrapping and its guard is the shape of three rings with the middle one the colour white and the other two black. Its scabbard is strapped on his arrancar hakama to his right, coloured entirely black.
His resurrecion is triggered by the words, "Nemure, Extasis (Sleep, Ecstasy) and then stabbing the zanpakutou through him. A huge explosion occurs and Haydn emerges in his resurrecion form. His horn disappears but a crown appears on his head. The crown is shaped like a big skeletal lower jaw with jagged teeth. Sprouting on his back are two giant indestructible skeletal hands that appear as wings and with its two thumbs hanging over his shoulders. The others fingers move and attack independently or by Haydn's will, able to stretch themselves indefinitely like tentacles to pierce, slice and tear enemy to shreds. The fingers can also use Haydn's modified laser-like Cero, firing them off their tips. The two thumbs never attack by themselves but has the same powers as the other fingers, except that if they pierce something or someone and draw blood, they can make skeletal replicas of them which can use the model's powers. In his resurrecion, Haydn can also regenerate and re-attach severed limbs, as well as create swords made of indestructible skeleton, that as long as his hands touch it can also stretch indefinitely.
Other Abilities
Pesquisa (Modified)
His pesquisa can tell how powerful an enemy is and can measure their reiatsu. He can also pinpoint a specific reiatsu's location at extremely huge distances.
Cero/Gran Rey Cero (Modified)
Haydn can control his Cero's power, speed and form. Normally, he compresses his Cero into a laser-like form that he fires off from his fingertips or from his tongue.
GlotonerÃa (Gluttony)
The manifestation of Haydn's hunger for flesh. When hunger strikes him, Haydn's mouth opens extremely wide and he will eat anything that moves around him. In this state, Haydn can eat and digest everything that fits into his mouth. He also gains tremendous speed and power, like a true monster. He doesn't like it when this happens since all traces of rationality is thrown out the window. He normalizes after some time.
Hierro
He currently has one of the toughest Hierro among the Espada. Seemingly a strange effect of all the human bones he has eaten before he became an Espada.
Rank: Segunda Espada
History: Haydn was born in a rather well off family, thus he was given everything he wanted at a whim. He was spoiled, arrogant and extremely boisterous that by the time he was ten, he had no friends that would play with him. They would say that, "There's no way I'm playing with that brat!". But he didn't seem to care. he loved being alone, feeding his enormous appetite for knowledge in his family's private library that was a lot bigger than that of the public owned one. He would spend countless hours reading and reading that he actually felt like he was far more intelligent than all those humans. He found their race absolutely inferior to his inhuman intelligence, or so he convinced himself. But that was before he read a book that he had only seen that particular day at that particular time. The book had no title, nothing on its hard cover, just blank. And so curiosity hit its mark and he began to read it. He was at first disgusted, but soon after the fifteenth chapter he began to become engrossed in its gory story. The book had entailed about one man's journey to find the world's most sumptuous and succulent meat and in the fifteenth chapter he had found it after three years of searching. Humans. He was so caught by it that he also believed that human meat could bestow upon its devourer powers beyond human capabilities as well as eternal life. And so he began eating, stalking his prey which were mostly a lot younger than his twelve year old self. Nobody really suspected a child to be a monster and he blended in well with the humans. It was then than war torn Germany became his play ground at sixteen. There were bodies left and right, and he was beginning to grow full. He's family was did not remain in the dark however and had known about their son's rather strange appetite. And so, using their connections, they were able to procure a steady supply of meat for him from the inquisition. They did not seem to mind his tastes and even encouraged it. But it wasn't to last. At seventeen and already an accomplished surgeon, a bomb exploded as it dropped down from the sky hurtling him into his mom's torn diamond dresser. The diamonds pierced his body and he was dying. In an effort to save him, the foolish doctors inserted a strange ring-like device into his heart to seemingly keep him alive. But that was not so as he died a month later.
Haydn never really had any experience as a soul, or it is probably that his hunger transformed him into a Hollow extremely fast. A month being hooked up meant he had a month of not being able to eat, his hunger overwhelmed him transforming him immediately into a Hollow and so he began eating, devouring everything he could see, Hollows, spirits and shinigami. He ate so much that he grew in power exponentially, eventually evolving into a Gillian then Adjuchas and then Vasto Lorde. It was only four hours that he became a Vasto Lorde when Aizen Sousuke transformed him into arrancar. His spoiled upbringing shows through as he became one and he immediately rose into power. He succeeded the octava Espada Szayel Aporro and succeeded him as the arrancar scientist. But that all came to an end just as it had begun. When the shinigami came, he didn't think he'd lose. He was overconfident and thought that he could easily destroy them singe-handedly. However, he was instantly overwhelmed by a shinigami named Kamiyama, a vice-captain. In a last ditched effort, he used his resurrecion, but even in shikai, Kamiyama crushed him, even rendering his regenerative abilities useless. He cursed the man then. The memory still vivid:
"Kill me!" he screamed, his boy torn to bits on the floor and only stumps can now be seen where his arms and legs were supposed to be. He screamed at the shinigami who's shadow covered him as the he stood on his palace's doors, his back to Haydn.
"Why should I? It would be a waste to kill the last blooming flower in this wasteland. You're a Gardenia, did you know that?" the shinigami said and he hated those words. Those words that remained in his memory to this day. "And by the way... You use too many unnecessary movements."
That event shaped what he currently is now. The shinigami spared his life and opened his eyes to everything. He promised himself that he will repay him someday, by killing him with his own hands. After the war, he disappeared to become more powerful and only reappeared a several centuries later, more powerful than he ever was. Along with the other new Espada, they rebuilt Las Noches and now rule there to this day.
