Description:
Lucrezia is a mountain of a woman, standing at a full 7 feet 3 inches tall, and weighing in at 420 pounds, hiding her swifter then average nature. Her facial features seem relatively unmarred, except for a small part on the right part of her forehead which boasts a small L shaped scar. Her hair, one of the most noticeable things about her head being her hair, being held back by a band and falling all the way to her waist behind her back. Her eyes might be the second thing people notice about her face, if not the first, They seem to be nearly blood red. Another noticeable aspect would be her smile, she constantly has a grin which shows off her teeth while in battle, showing off that she has sharpened her own teeth to give off a more sharklike and menacing look.
Her choice of dress being rather odd, having most in common with medieval armor of the past which has a tendency to attract at least a few odd looks. The armor is, in Lucrezia's own words 'shitty and useless' mainly just being for show. It has a custom made breastplate which helps bring out one of her more noticeable features, along with some shoulderpads, each one being a long silver plate with a stack of three on her left shoulder with one on her right. She also boasts two wristguards, which generally aid her in not scraping them when climbing a rock or something, or just because they look cool.
Within a Gigai, she primarily wears a black attire business suit, which in her opinion makes hand to hand combat look cooler. Over her hands, she wears black leather gloves to help give off the vibe of a hand to hand fighter. Her eyes have less of a crimson glint while within this gigai, only being slightly red rather then flaring. However, it not being a specially made gigai still gives off a reiatsu signature that attracts hollow, unfortunately for the hollows.
Personality:
Lucrezia boasts the personality of one who thrives on battle, seeming to derive a special sort of pleasure from every clash of the blade, trade of the fist, and trick that she didn't see coming. In her own words, 'There's no greater expression of love then the feel of a blade as it slices through the soft hide of your opponent.' Her love for battle can also be a bit of a weakness for her however, as if she's fighting someone weaker she'll often add odd restrictions to make it more even, such as fighting using only one hand or just her head as a weapon, or only being allowed to be a certain distance away from her opponent. If the opponent is extremely weaker then her, she'll even resort to just using her neglected blade to prolong the battle.
However, it's her lust for battle which is one of the reasons she's now a rogue shinigami, if she sees fit, to prolong a skirmish between parties if she's been enjoying the battle, she'll immediately turn on the winning side if the winning sides priorities are to kill the other side or simply just because she doesn't want the battle to end. Even when she's not actively trying to prolong a battle, she sometimes has a tendency to lose herself, going beyond what was needed for a particular mission and reducing an area to rubble.
Of course, Lucrezia is not an idiot. To be able to live the way she does and still reach the age she has requires her to have some form of intellect, as such she watches people carefully as they prepare themselves, judging any limps or weaknesses in the flesh so she can weaken herself properly, or not at all. She's ecstatic about being able to fight a person on equal terms, and as a result if she spots someone with potential, she'll generally help give them a boost along to their training.
Outside of battle, she seems just as gutsy as she is when within a battle, constantly talking about the thrive or beat of a particular situation that she's feeling. If she's not feeling a situation well enough, it's possible she'll forget to listen what someone's telling her, even if it was of absolutely vital importance. While in her younger days she had a vocabulary limited mostly to rip and tear, she's expanded her vocabulary well enough purely for the reason of sounding more badass. Which leads to another noticeable oddity in her personality.
Lucrezia is under the impression she is badass, this is not someone just bragging about how they beat the person up next door. This is someone who will burst through the wall of an open warehouse while right next to the entrance just to make her own entrance more flashy. She loves giving a boast, and will even boast about her opponent's abilities in a way that makes it seem obsessive if she likes their ability or skill well enough, even if she completely outclasses them.
History:
Lucrezia was born in one of the worst district of Rukonagi, not even old enough to remember her parents faces before they were taken from her. Growing up, to survive she got into constant strife with other people. But, even from an early age she seemed to have a particularly large lust for battle. Even if the battle had been one and her opponent fled, she would chase them down purely to give them the killing blow. However, she usually felt a void inside of herself after she had managed to give the killing blow with her weapon, which in the case of her younger days was a rusty sword she had found in a trash-pile.
Seemingly giving up on battle for a bit after one particularly brutal kill left her feeling more empty then usual, she stumbled upon the group of a gang that was in the middle of a fight with another gang. She couldn't figure out what to do, wishing she'd get her spirits up enough to fight both of them. At this age, at only 14, she towered over most people in her age range, being 6 feet and still growing. So she was quickly noticed by the others, and as if seeking a chance to get some free coin they attacked her. She defended herself rather easily, but never once did she strike out until she realized that they wouldn't stop attacking her, at which point she slaughtered both sides when she grew bored enough of them. But, she had an epiphany that day while defending herself. She realized that the reason she had become so empty from fighting was because the only worthwhile fights she had been in had ended in her killing the opponent without giving them the chance to become stronger to fight her on more equal terms.
Seeing a new chance, whenever she fought someone she gave them the chance to run away when it became apparent to her they were completely defenseless against her. When they didn't she killed them, but when they did she never chased after them. Lucrezia felt satisfaction in the fact that if she ever faced them again, they'd be stronger. But, she came to a realization after a few more years of doing this. They may have gotten stronger, but she in turn also became stronger, and even worse was the fact that she became mountain-loads stronger then them in the time it took for them to become only a small bit stronger. She began to feel the emptiness from pointless battles start to overtake her again, before one day she encountered a group of shinigami. Lucrezia had seen them before, yes, but never actually interacted with them. She knew them only to be guardians and protectors of the spirits of this realm. But this was when she had another sudden idea, if they were in charge of protecting everyone else, that must mean they were stronger then everyone else right?
She decided to put her theory to the test, and immediately engaged the surprised shinigami in battle. Without a zanpaktou of her own, she still proved to be a mighty beast to the unseated shinigami, managing to beat up an entire 2/3rd of the platon before she managed to be brought down and arrested. She was thrown into a jail cell, but she was not saddened by this, instead she was euphoric. The reason was simple, she had lost. She had finally found a group of people that could defeat her, that could fight her on equal terms...All she had to figure out now...was how to get out of the cell. She escaped, time and time again purely to beat up the shinigami guarding her cell, and when she was finished beating them up and gauging their strength, she went calmly back into her cell and locked herself in. Lucrezia had no desire to leave her only link to the shinigami. Her infamy grew even in the Gotei, becoming the least wanted position[that is, guarding her cell] in the entire society. One day however, it was suggested that due to the accumulation of her battery on shinigami she be thrown into the nest of maggots. This was a rather controversial move in itself, as she was no shinigami.
It was recognized however, that she had great potential to become one. For this, she was classified as a shinigami despite having no training, and thrown into the nest of maggots for being a 'dangerous element'. Spitting up dirt after being thrown in the nest by a group of people, Lucrezia was disappointed in what she found. A particularly calm area, as this area wasn't for common criminal scum, but merely shinigami who had been deemed as a dangerous element. Not ones who had actually done something awful, so they lived here and weren't even locked in cells. She stood up, and after just a month of living there and attempting to give peace a try decided it just wasn't for her. But she faced a problem, the people guarding this area weren't just common thugs or unseated people, they were trained specifically for people like her. She asked the Shinigami prisoners there if they'd teach her, and having nothing better to do they accepted. Quickly she learned what it meant to be a shinigami, never before having heard of such things as hollow, or the quincy, of even of Shikai or bankai[Although she was less interested in this.]. So, in secret they taught her the basics of Shino Academy, and even some more advanced classes. Some of the people there had once been teachers of the academy but had been dubbed as dangerous. They knew their fate, but decided they might still have a chance to teach after seeing Lucrezia.
Eventually, she managed to form a link and create a zanpaktou. This happened at a most inopportune time however, as that moment she managed to form it was when the guards were checking up on her. Her Zanpaktou was forcefully taken away from her, and she lost her link to it abruptly. For the first time in her life, Lucrezia was furious. She went on a rampage, actively managing to break out of the nest and breaking free some of the shinigami there in the process in order to try to reach her Zanpaktou, she was not unopposed, but using the training she had retrieved over the past 200 years in the nest she was a force that even the seated officers had a problem with. She was quelled eventually, being stopped by the captain of the 11th division. Afte engaging in a fight with him, she lost...she realized her error, gaining her smile once more as she stood up, ready to fight him again. She was refused however, and despire her crimes the captain used his authority to make her hi lieutenant. Every day, she fought him, her inner growth growing to a nearly untold level. Her zanpaktou grew battered and more battered, rusty with both of their blood. Eventually, she stopped paying attention to her zanpaktou and the cries it gave out, growing silent as the void that used to be within Lucrezia.
70 years after becoming the Lieutenant of 11th division was when the fateful day of her captaincy happened, rather then using bankai, as she didn't even have Shikai, she shattered her captains ribs with a punch that focused all of her power through. Lucrezia crippled him, destroyed him in a fight that had reduced their barracks to rubble. That was the day Captain Iskander became a true title. Her methods to train her division were ruthless, oftentimes greatly wounding them if they weren't up to the task. Lucrezia faced criticism, but she ignored it, she didn't care for it. When they were called for a mission, they went in, and to prolong the fight she had a tendency to attack her own allies and side with the enemy. Her partners never told her superiors about this for the most part, but eventually a particularly brutal mission ended with her actually killing several of her own teammates. She felt no remorse for what she had done, and rather then stand trial she decided to flee.
It's been over 600 years since she fled from the Gotei, meanwhile Lucrezia has taken an interest in humanity during her exile from the Soul Society, curious as to whether they could match up to her in power. One day, she fought someone who had the powers of a hollow despite still being a human. Although she killed him on accident, this convinced her that humans could indeed become strong enough to fight her on equal or even higher terms, as a result she spent years wandering, slaying the pitiful weak hollows that were attracted to her reiatsu while looking for another worthy fight. Her power has only grown since then, and in her boredom has wondered if the time will ever come when she has to face the full might of the Gotei. She's unsure whether it will happen, but what she knows for a fact is that it will be a battle she'll enjoy.

Soul Weapon: Zanpaktou
-Sealed Appearance:
The sealed apperance of the Zanpaktou takes the form of a standard Nodachi, only rusty with being unwashed and battered and nicked. It seems to have no real special qualities to it as a result, but has the advantage of being slightly longer then regular, giving it a length of 4 feet and 7 inches. Despite this, Lucrezia is strong enough to wield it with one hand.
