Nicknames/Aliases: "Gantain the Undying"
Appearance Age: 60s
Actual Age: 3,000~3,600
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0
Weight: 1440lbs (this is not a typo)
Appearance Picture:Character Power SetEquipment: Holographic Projector: Gantain rarely attends Espada meetings himself. Most of the other Espada despise him, so why put himself at risk of annoyance? So, Gantain has created a projector that allows him to create a hologram of himself. This always has to be in the presence of another projector. The portable version is the size of a cereal bowl.
Trained Abilities: Genius Intellect: Gantain is, without any doubt, the smartest of the Espada. He is the one who designed the [REDACTED] for King Kiyomaru's grand plan. He has also created many other physical creations. Most of his Fracciónes are subjected to horrible experiments as he needs to test the limits of the Arrancar form. This intellect has also given rise to his creation of Artificial Arrancar Model 1 Mark 1, also known as Promithéa. If given enough resources, Gantain's creations are far more terrifying than he is.
High-Speed Regeneration: Besides his intellect, this is where Gantain's strength lies. Perhaps due to having many Hollows awakened inside of him, Gantain has abnormally high levels of regeneration abilities. The mechanical effect of this is a +15 to his High-Speed Regeneration skill. He can regenerate half of his body (provided his head is not destroyed) in a matter of seconds if he focuses solely on that. It has been thought that Gantain does not bleed, but that is simply him using the most minute amount of High-Speed Regeneration to simply re-knit the blood vessels. The skin will be fixed later. If his head is destroyed, it will take him an hour or two to restore it, but it is possible. This skill is what has given him the nickname of "Gantain the Undying." There is a way to kill him without completely destroying his body, however. Gantain has a weakness to lightning damage. When he is dealt damage by an electrical or lightning-based attack, Gantain's High-Speed Regeneration stops for a round. If he is killed in this state, he actually dies and can not regenerate.
Weapon Skill: Gantain is rather skilled with a sword, as evidenced by the fact that during their bout he was able to severely wound Lilith Blake with it.
Unarmed Combat: Gantain is decent with Hand-to-Hand combat if only because his Resurrección does not have a permanent weapon.
Cero/Bala: Gantain is perfectly average in his skill with Cero. His Cero are a deep violet with a black outline.
Sonido: Gantain never saw much use for Sonido, as he would rather have a flashy and dramatic entrance.
Hierro: Perhaps as a trade-off to his High-Speed Regeneration, Gantain has a rather weak Hierro. He claims it is better for them to watch him bleed and not flinch than it is to be an impenetrable wall. He has a natural -15 to his Hierro.
Mask Fragment: His beard
Hollow Hole: Gantain has three Hollow Holes, one above his heart, one below it, and one on his navel.
Hollow Level: Vasto Lorde
Unreleased Abilities:The Black Hand: The Black Hand is what allowed Gantain to make a name for himself. He is an expert on Arrancar and Shinigami anatomy, their weaknesses and strengths, the differences, and most importantly—their evolution over time. Gantain has used this to manifest the Black Hand. It is evolution forced upon himself, using the most primal means of evolution available to him—absorption. When another Arrancar is incapacitated (i.e. dead, dying, or unconscious and incapable of fighting), Gantain can take the time to slowly absorb them into him. This takes about two hours to complete, during which time Gantain must maintain concentration. If he breaks concentration, the ability fails.
If an Arrancar is absorbed, Gantain gains their memories and fragments of their power. This mostly goes into his Zanpakutō abilities. However, there is a major limitation to this. Gantain can only use this on further-evolved or stronger Arrancar. He could not use this on anyone who is his tier or lower, only higher tiers. Due to his current strength, this leaves only Kurai Hiryuu and King Kiyomaru as valid targets. A minor drawback of this is that his weight will increase with the weight of the Arrancar he has absorbed. His frame will not change, but the overall weight will.
Other Weapons:Original Zanpakutō Appearance: Gantain's Zanpakutō is a cane sword with a dark grey sheath etched in runes. Interesting enough, the tip of the blade is broken off and blunt. This is a badge of honor in a sense to Gantain—as he broke it taking out Lilith Blake's eye.
Resurrección Name: Quimera (Chimera)
Resurrección Release: Impale
Resurrección Appearance: - Initial Release:
- Second Release:
- Third Release:
Resurrección Abilities: Quimera is what powers Gantain's Black Hand, and from the absorbtion from the Black Hand its Resurrección is altered. Quimera is mostly a physical release at first. However, Quimera has two additional sub-releases, each one bringing forth a part of an Arrancar Gantain has absorbed.
Within the initial release, Gantain enhanced physical abilities mainly. He gains a +6 boost to his natural stats. He is capable of firing Cero-like beams from the horn on his head. He is also able to create energy blades from the protrusions at his elbow. They extend about a foot past his hand. In the second release, Quimera grows two blade-like tails from its back. These are massive—each one is roughly as long as he is tall. They move in a segmented manner much like a lobster. Gantain can use these as easily as he can use his arms, and attacking with them allows him to use his hands for anything else he may need to do. He gains an additional +2 to his natural stats.
The third form of Quimera is the current "perfect" form. It grows two sets of wings. One of these sets is directly on his back, and they provide forward thrust via Reiryoku vectoring rather than any stabilization. There is an additional +2 bonus to all natural stats, increasing the total to +10. When in this form, Gantain can plant himself into the ground and spread his wings to absorb Reishi in the surrounding air. After a round of charging, Gantain can fire a massive beam of energy from his horn. This beam is stronger than even his Grand Rey Cero, and as such its use is prohibited in most situation. There is a 4-round cooldown after firing.
Segunda Etapa Name: Sangre de Quimera (Blood of the Chimera)
Segunda Etapa Release: DespoilSegunda Etapa Appearance: Gantain's true form is a three-eyed demon, standing well over 20 feet tall. His wings are red and leathery, with a wingspan of sixty feet. His body is ripped with muscles (he has a 10-pack), and his tail is as an additional 15 feet long.
Segunda Etapa Powers: Due to Sangre de Quimera's immense size, Gantain gains a +15 to Strength and Durability. However, he loses 5 in Speed and Agility.
Alma Descorrer: (Soul Opening) The main ability of Sangre de Quimera. Alma Descorrer is a modified version of the Descorrer ability used by Arrancar to open a Garganta. The modification is just where the ability ends up. Instead of opening a Garganta to a different realm, Alma Descorrer opens into Gantain himself. What this does is allow Gantain to summon forth fragments of his own power in the form of the Hollows he has devoured, as well as the ones they have devoured, and so-on. There are thousands of Hollows within him, and so it feels as though his supply is endless. However, it is not. If a fragment is destroyed when it is summoned, then Gantain loses that fragment permenantly. He will have to devour another Hollow—as this does not summon forth Arrancar, Pluses, or Shinigami—to replenish his numbers. For every 100 destroyed, Gantain's tier drops by one subtier. There is another weakness. As this is opening directly into his being, someone could, in theory, go inside and kill him from the inside by destroying ones he has not summoned. Although Gantain himself could not fight back against that, the many Hollow within can.
Character SynopsisGantain Losseaux is one of the strongest Arrancar alive. He has attained this by being ruthless, patient, and downright cunning. He is a perfect storm of an Arrancar. He was born during the right time, he attained power during the right time, and he used that power at the right time. If any of those conditions had been different, Gantain would not be where he is now.
Gantain is the Primera Espada, and his Number is tattooed on the left side of his chest—however he was previously two other numbers (8 and 4 respectively). He once battled Lilith Blake during his days as a rogue Arrancar. Although she wounded him greatly, he was able to recover from his wounds. She, however, was not—not to the same extent. It was during their battle that Lilith lost her eye and obtained a wound that would haunt her forever. The tip of his Zanpakutō was the only permanent thing that she left on him. He has kept it broken, almost out of respect.
