"Serpent King of the Dead Sands"
[Race]
Arrancar
Arrancar
[Appearance]
Height; 6'1" (~185 cm)
Weight; 189 lbs (85.7 kg)
Eye Color; Goldenrod and Blue
Description; Rey is muscular but also very limber, with a lithe musculature that ripples as he moves. His general form is broad, wide shouldered and decently tall. His uniform varies at times but only mildly from typical Arrancar uniform. His general combat outfit is a set of thick white cloth pants tucked into heavy black boots that are tightly laced, the pants from a small, bell-shaped bulge over the boots in a more classical military style. In combat he rarely wears a shirt, favoring the lack of clothing as it would simply serve as something to be gripped by his enemy.
Mask Remnant; His mask remnant is a number of tiny scales which trail up his cheeks and his neck.
Hollow Hole; His hollow hole is usually hidden by his clothing, but it resides just under his breastbone.
[Personality]
Rey exudes the complications of a distorted persona. He's usually casually conflicted in nature, finding it hard to cooperate with others at times, yet exuding the characteristics of a natural leader. His intelligence is a sharp point that provides him with both an edge on the battlefield and in the laboratory. He can quickly deduce his situation, cracking open a strategy and laying out a wonderful battle plan which can quickly turn the tables upon his enemies. He does enjoy his leisure and can be found enjoying foods he’s made or sketching in a notebook. Some might notice his wildly flirtatious tendencies as well as his natural affinity for careful manners. At times he can become increasingly stern, borderline violent. He has a long fuse, but his temper explodes like a metric ton of plastic explosives.

[Biography]
[Pre-Death]
Born Albrecht Einzbern von Hollerhorn, Rey Lagarto was the son of a prominent lord and former soldier of a small Eastern European country. His youth was filled with rigorous schooling in many topics ranging from scientific methods of the era to the art of warfare. He was talented with a blade as well as a musket. He was a renowned horseback rider, racing against many and making a name in the surrounding countries. Small wars had plagued his home and the surrounding countries until he was to be betrothed to Franziska Mariella Cassiopeia, Crown Princess of the house of Schwarzburg, staving off more combat in the area. Her home was threatened by many of the surrounding countries unless her father offered his eldest daughter for marriage. Albrecht was chosen because of his military affiliation and his personal merit, although his manners were rather rough in his youth.
He was engaged to the Crown Princess when they were merely 13, although were not to be married for quite some time, perhaps as a way to further keep the peace. He met her at a banquet held in the Schwarzburg Castle, where he immediately attempted to win her over with his charm. He was athletic and had sharp blues eyes and fine, nearly golden, hair. The family and governesses played it off as boyish excitement when he greeted her with a rather crass kiss. But it was merely his lack of manners, many of which would be battered into him further by the Princesses' governesses in the coming years. Despite this, he took the task of wedding her in stride and although it was an arranged marriage, he tried his best to win her affections and equally give her his affection. Many times, he tried to steal the Princess from the heel of her mother in the early days of their relationship. Although soon after, her mother had passed. The funeral was solemn, and it changed her father Hidalgo to the core. He became bitter, resentful, and violent. Although much of this was hidden from view of Albrecht until after the event that led to his own demise.
Two years after their engagement, Hidalgo's violent and heinous treatment of his children led the Princess to take her own life, drowning in a lake upon the edge of the castle grounds. It was a place where Albrecht would find her often, crying or staring off into the distance. Her father merely widened the gap between them, and eventually Albrecht blamed him for her suicide. His bride was murdered by the malice of her father.
With the death of Franziska came a political torrent which eventually erupted into all-out war over the territory of her father, many surrounding countries formed an alliance and stormed Schwarzburg Castle, burning anything in their way. Albrecht led a brigade of troops from his own keep in an attempt to claim the castle before the other armies destroyed it. Although he had a different motive in mind. He intended to claim the life of Franziska's father in a duel. But his brigade arrived too late, the surrounding plots were burning, the standing soldiers slain, and Franziska's brother captured, set to hang. The siege had not broken to Hidalgo, her father. Albrecht rode violently into the castle and the estate held within, scouring the wreckage for Hidalgo.
Finally, he had found the man he blamed for forsaking his bride, bloodied, and fuming before the destruction of his home. Albrecht dismounted his stallion and raised a blade to the man calling out.
"I challenge you."
Hidalgo grinned wickedly, holding up his own blade aiming it at Albrecht. He charged the youth, swinging viciously for his knee, only to be parried swiftly by Albrecht's steel. They traded blows, parrying and dancing in a clash of steel while the fire raged around them. The sounds of battle poured over the field with each stinging ring of their blades. Hidalgo was aggressive, forcing Albrecht on the defense, rarely giving the boy a chance to respond with his own strikes. Each clash left Albrecht reeling further backward against the force until he was able to land an underhanded swing upon Hidalgo's leg. Albrecht's blade dug in and tore through the man's thigh viciously on the drawback. Hidalgo, in a last-ditch effort, drew a pistol and fired. On this day, luck did not smile upon Albrecht, Hidalgo's shot was true, the ball spearing into his chest with a bright splatter cast against the equally crimson glow of the flames. Albrecht's breath escaped him, blood filling his mouth, gurgling, gagging. He stared at the monster that had overthrew him.
"You are not the man...I respected..." He choked on the blood welling up within his lungs before he collapsed, his soul ripped from his body as Hidalgo bled out upon the ground.
Spiraling into death, Albrecht's anger and passion chewed away the chain anchored to him at the base of his left breastbone, over his heart. Regret flooded his mind as he was slowly torn apart and hollowed nearly instantly. The sheer devastation of his thoughts leaving his mind crippled reverted to a base animalistic state, the state of a scavenger hollow. The hunger filled him as he shredded the souls of the men and women slain at the battle, consuming them whole...
[Post-Death, Pre-Demasking]
Growing vastly in power from the well of souls he consumed even shortly after his death and avoiding destruction by either Quincy or Shinigami kind, Rey became that of a Gillian following the evolutionary stages of a menos. Decades, perhaps even centuries passed as he fought the dull ache in his hollowed soul, consuming more and more hollows, distinguishing himself from the rest of the bleak entities within the Menos Forest. Eventually, he underwent the transformation into that of an Adjuchas, retaining thought, and speech along with a unique form. His form as an adjuchas was rather humanoid, although it commanded a particularly powerful cero for a menos.
During his years as an Adjuchas, he was firmly planted within his own hovel within the forest, protected by the crystalline structure of quartz trees. He even began making traipses into the human realm, searching for particularly powerful souls to take. He learned of modern society and built a more human-like intellect and understanding of the material world. He appreciated innovation and created his own little gadgets for survival within the forest, traps and the like.
With this ingenuity, he garnered the attention of the Arrancar legions. They'd bring him under their wing, leading him to become one of their own. With time, he was trained in the art of spiritual combat, learning new ways to control and use his ever-growing power until the point he was to be de-masked and his life as an Arrancar began.

[Zanpakutou]
Los Saurios, The Saurians
Zanpakutou Sealed Appearance: Los Saurios takes the form of a rather ergonomic dagger that fits quite well in Rey's hand regardless of his grip choice. The steel has ingrained dark waves making it resemble a pitted, sharp bone. The pommel is a sturdy one, able to crack bones with relative ease when applied with precision.
Release Command: Tsuiseki!(追跡, hunt), Los Saurios.
[Resurrección]
Tsuiseki, Los Saurios!
Resurrección Appearance:
Spoiler
Rey plunges the dagger into his chest as he utters his release command, a burst of his reiatsu flooding over him in a flash of stark white. As the maelstrom recedes, a suit of what appears to be hardened bone armor convalesces around his form. It forms a whole set of flexible plated armor and clawed gauntlets around his hands, the dagger nowhere to be found. Horn s protrude from the crown of his forehead, arching up and behind his head and his hair gains considerable length. Two reptilian skulls manifest from the shoulders of the armor, detaching as their eyes take on a heterochromatic set of hues. It seems they are extensions of Rey's new form.
Resurrección Properties:
Spoiler
Rey's armor doesn't seem to slow his form whatsoever, only adding to his defensive protections that already were quite prevalent in his base form. As for the skulls they seem incredibly durable, and able to operate even under duress of destruction. They serve as mobile firing platforms for Rey's devastating ceros and in this form can fire considerably powerful blasts with a somewhat quick charge time, allowing Rey to choose many angles of attack. Their teeth are sharp allowing them to gnaw and gnash at a target violently.
[Abilities]
Spoiler
Force: The ceros fired typically from the skulls are equivalent to a cero of 'normal' power, though fired at a much higher rate than typically achievable by a standard Arrancar. Though given some time, they can charge a more potent cero and even fire them in combination to create a much more destructive blast than a single fully charged cero from Rey himself.
Speed & Control: As extensions of his being Rey has little difficulty maintaining the mental acuity to control the skulls at speed, they serve as direct conduits of his reiatsu, and can match his speed easily.
Range: The range of his skulls are dictated by Rey's overall fatigue and reiatsu level, at release he can easily shift the skulls in a diameter of thirty meters around him; he can extend this range by summoning a lesser number of the skulls, with each one effectively halving the range. One skull(60m), two skulls(30m). As he depletes his reiatsu they will stick visibly closer to his orbit.
Rey has controlled this aspect of his release (2FCU).
