Name: Khlōros Leora
Title: Lady Death
Age: 717, appears to be in her early twenties
Gender: Female
Class: Arrancar
Affiliation: Las Noches
Rank: Fraccion
Description:
Khloros stands at 5'7" tall with a well developed, slender physique. She carries herself with an air of delicacy mixed with a slight hint of arrogance that bleeds into everything she does and makes it all look carefully deliberate. Her pale green eyes strangely accent her mid-back length, light yellow hair.
Her hollow hole is located below her belly button, where her womb would be. She wears a somewhat tight fitting top with full length sleeves that go down to her wrists. This top leads to a full length, loose fitting skirt that drapes and flows down over the black pair of feminine boots that covers her feet. Intersecting diamond patterns that run down the front of her attire reveals portions of her skin. The last diamond at the bottom reveals her hollow hole but nothing else. A black, tattered and sleeveless hakama top covers over most of her undertop and remains open. This hakama also features a hood that hangs loosely over her back. All of her attire features black outlining whereas the hakama features white outlining.
Her hollow mask covers the right side of her mouth as well as the connecting portion of the adjacent cheek. This mask portion looks like the corresponding right side of the mouth of a flesh-less human skull.
Faceclaim: Vocaloid - Lily
Personality:
To those that have earned her at their side, such as Nero, Khlōros shows loyalty. She is willing to do whatever is wanted or needed of her without remorse or regret, even die if such is necessary. To the rest... she cares little of those who haven't proved themselves worthy of her time and will have nothing to do with them. She acts a bit like a royal snob, holding her stature above such "garbage." She also has a tendency to be seemingly delicate when doing something, even when walking it's as if she's floating on air rather then taking steps.
History:
Humanity...
Khlōros was born in the year 1295 with the name Sarah to an Italian father and his Egyptian slave... parents whom she never knew for she was sold away on the Silk Road before the child was born. It was the time of The Silk Road's revival and trade between the east and west had begun to flourish once more. Her father was a merchant that had begun to travel to this "road" in an attempt to strike it rich. It was during this venture that he bought the Egyptian woman as a slave. While traveling further along the road he impregnated her without knowing so, then sold her off at a high price 5 days later to a pair of Chinese musicians.
After months of servitude, Sarah was born. The musicians took the newborn in and took care of her and her slave mother. For twenty years both were taught the Chinese culture as they served their owners faithfully. Sarah in particular took immediate interest to music and had learned to play the Chinese Gu-Zheng very well. It wasn't to last though. As they traveled along the road, they were ambushed by a band of marauding thieves. They killed the musicians as well as the slave mother and took all of their valuables. They mortally wounded Sarah and had though that she was dead which wasnt far from the truth. She was left out of sight and unable to move. It took her a long time to die... her body even had begun to rot in certain places before she finally succumbed to starvation.It wasn't long before Sarah became a hollow... turning before her mother and owners did and devoured all three of them.
Hollowized...
She entered Hueco Mundo as what could only be described as a zombified hollow. There she began to feed off others not with her mouth... but with her own reiatsu. She started off devouring small hollow at first, then as she grew in power, progressively ate bigger and stonger creatures. As she grew in strength, her reiatsu also started to take the form of a fog and as that grew in power, it got thicker and thicker.
It took her a mere 100 years to evolve to Vasto Lord class, having re-developed her sense of identity back just before she became a Gillian. Her name was now Khlōros and in her Vasto Lord she took on a black robed being that resembled death. She also carried the instrument she was so in love with in life... the Gu-Zheng. This instrument had begun to take form when she was an adjucha and she found it's use in this realm. Now as a Vasto Lord, the instrument also became fully formed as well and shared its power with her for the next fifty years.
The Lord of the Deep at that time was facing a great divide amongst his Espada and were increasingly becoming hostile towards him. He formulated a plan to replace them all with new arrancar and to do that he went out in search of powerful hollow to transform. During his search through the thick Menos Forest he came across Khlōros and offered her power beyond her dreams. After a brief dialogue she accepted.
She was led to Las Noches where the Lord turned her into an arrancar. She would be the only one he would be able to recruit. Merely a week after this the Espada had made their move against their Lord. It was a fearsome battle between the Lord and Khlōros versus the 10 Espada. The two managed to fight and slay 7 of them thanks to the unearthly fog she had but in the end it wasn't enough... the remaining 3 slayed the Lord but spared Khlōros because of her ignorance of the events that led up to this battle. However she was still punished... taken to the deepest depths of the Menos Forest... a place where few hollow made their way and was sealed away, forever locked in ice.
This is where she remains today... in suspended animation in a small glacier amongst the trees and sand. Her fog still remains though, surrounding the area of the ice and devouring lesser hollow that venture into its reach. Even still... much of her former power having evaporated with time. This fog has led to stories spreading throughout Hueco Mundo... the tale and legend of Lady Death...

Abilities
Garganta:
Garganta involves using own's reiryoku to tear a hole through two separate spaces and enter a small precipice tunnel which leads to the user's target. Often used to maneuver between the living world and Hueco Mundo.
Ressurecion:
Arrancar upon changing from Hollow, seal their Hollow powers away inside a zanpaktou. Upon coming to terms with their Hollow powers, they are able to release their zanpaktou, to allow their latent hollow abilities to engulf them. This often results in the Arrancar taking on the attributes of their hollow self in a new, more powerful form, lasting a single post for every 20 Affinity they possess. Releasing such power varies by the method of release and the nature of the ability granting +45 to each stat, but often is categorized into the following releases granting additional stat gain:
Combat: +50 to Agility
Kidou: +50 to Reiryoku
Power: +50 to Power
Power/Combat: +25 to Power & Agility
Kidou/Combat: +25 to Reiryoku & Agility
Power/Kidou: +25 to Power & Reiryoku
Sonido:
This Arrancar high speed movement consists of temporarily dislocating the Arrancar and relocating them within 15 meters of their original location. Initiated with a static buzz, the Arrancar will appear as suddenly as they had vanished, making Sonido more akin to teleportation than actual high speed movement.
Soul Weapon: Zanpaktou
Zanpaktou Name: Muerte Nota (Death Note)
Description:
The single handed grip is wrapped in a pale green leather-like cloth while the 20" blade is jagged and looks to be worn with age with a little rust. It is still razor sharp and retains the incredible strength and resilience a zanpakuto is known to have. It is slung horizontally across her back just above her buttocks.
Special Abilities:
Resurrección:
Release Phrase:
Soothe the mind, devour the soul Death Note
Appearance:
When Khlōros releases her zanpakuto, her pale green reiatsu envelopes her completely first, then spreads through whatever she is standing on. This reiatsu then quickly produces a very thick, gray fog that blankets an area roughly 150 yards in all directions from Khlōros and 100 yards up into the air. She herself has gone through a drastic change within this fog...
She now is covered completely in a large black robe complete with a hood that seems to always hide her face. This black robe reveals nothing of her body... the only hint of flesh any would be able to see would be of her hands and the pale green glow of her eyes from within the hood. Her face however looks to be in a state of decay, parts of her skull being exposed to the outside air. A second pair of arms have also grown from the sides of her body and are also covered in the black robe. Her original hands are in a similar state of partial decay as her face however the other pair of hands are completely skeletal, only bone is visible when they peek out from the sleeves. All of her fingers features what looked to be golden caps upon which a very small, hooked claw is connected. These are primarily used to pluck at the strings and play at the instrument she now has attached to her.
In this form she has, attached to straps that run into the robes, what appears to be a chinese Gu-zheng, a 21 string instrument roughly 10' long and 4' wide, sitting suspended across her abdomen. Each string has a block attached to it which she can freely slide up and down the instrument to change the notes played.
Abilities:
Khlōros attacks using the instrument strapped to her by playing different notes and songs with her four hands. Her abilities are divided into four categories: Attack, Defense, and Rot.
Attack: Sends beams of dark light to slice at an opponent like a sword.
Defense: Makes a large shield of dark light that protects her and her allies.
Rot: When the beams of dark light slice into an opponent, she can change the tune of her music and cause the wounds to slowly rot around the edges. This is very painful to experience and can distract and even drive the opponent's away.
Attack: This encompasses her abilities to attack her opponent directly.
Blades: While in this mode notes plucked from the strings can be willed to form blades from the fog immediately surrounding Khlōros and sends them flying at the opponent at high speed. Once they either strike the opponent or miss then it dissipates back into the fog. A max of 5 blades can be formed at once.
Bludgeoning: Blunt force attacks can be formed in the same way her blades can. To do this she merely strums two or more of her strings to send crushing attacks at her foe. These can take the form from the fog as clubs, hammers and similar other weapons. A max of 5 can be formed at one time.
Energy: Pale green cero/bala-like attacks can be fired from the instrument if she pulsates the string a note is currently being played on. 3 ceros or 5 bala can be fired before she needs to wait 3 posts in order to use such a blast again.
Defense: This includes barriers or other spells she can conjure to help mitigate damage, block it completely or give her some time to relocate.
Haze Barrier: To form a barrier, all she has to do essentially is draw the shape of it on the strings with her fingers. This translates into a combination of notes being strummed and string screeches. For instance a rectangular barrier is formed when she strums 2 or more strings twice, then runs her claw down the strings twice to make a screeching sound. She can form these barriers anywhere she pleases in the fog, around herself, an ally or even an opponent to trap them. A maximum of 3 barriers can be formed at any one time.
Passive Ability:
Unearthly Fog
While in ressureccion, a fog completely surrounds Khlōros and blankets the area as described earlier. This fog, in essence, is part of her reiatsu that she can control at will. Because of this it gives off the same reiatsu signature as her which renders locating via reiatsu sensing impossible, inside the fog or outside of it.. Any opponent that enters the fog will have their senses suffer in the following ways:
Sight is cut to a mere 20 feet. It is impossible to see further than that into the murky gray sand-like mists. Think of being in the thickest fog bank you can imagine or a sandstorm without the wind.
Smell is unreliable as well because within the fog the smell of death permeates the air and covers any other smell but doesn't change in intensity at all.
The fog also has two other effects.
1: Reiatsu based attacks that enter into the fog bank begin to quickly be eroded. The energy that erodes off is then devoured by/and becomes a new part of the fog. Essentially if a hostile shinigami fired off kido spells within its boundary, he/she is adding onto the amount of fog there is.
2: Weak cannon fodder NPCs' reiatsu is consumed at a rapid rate and causes them physically to literally rot to death. This is how Khlōros feeds. This does not happen to actual players or to very strong NPCs.
She may leave the fog bank or control its location to stay around her at will. Anyone she deems an ally or a friend to her can pass through the fog with no ill affects. And of course she herself isnt affected.
