Arrancar OC: Jazmin Veranos

Name: Jazmin Veranos
Rank: Unlucky 13
Espada: Ulquiorra Schiffer
Former Espada: Nelliel Tu Oderschvank
Hollow/Arrancar Type: Wasp (Tarantula Hawk)
Appearance: Jazmin is rather small, despite her being a type of wasp hollow that is one of the largest there is, but she makes up her height by her speed and strength. She has beautiful gray eyes, a strange light blue mark under each eye, fairly short blond hair, and can easily be mistaken as a seventeen year old girl. Her ranking number is placed on her lower back, beneath the hollow hole on her stomach, directly over a spot she claims is overly sensitive. The remnants of her hollow mask holds her hair back slightly, like a clip, and circles around the back of her head, the front of it appearing to be the ‘eyes’ of what once was her full mask. She also has two wing-shaped remains on her shoulder blades, but they are always hidden beneath her top. Her clothes are modified, not really like the standard Arrancar uniforms, but they are comfortable, so there is no problem with it for her.
Personality: Jazmin, at first glance, appears to be a silent Arrancar that keeps to herself…however, this is not the case. She’s a very bright and intelligent Arrancar, one that oddly remembers and knows why and how the human emotions effect them so, even attempting to explain it to her Espada, Ulquiorra. She’s very expressive, but she’s most commonly seen either smirking or grinning, depending on what she’s plotting, while she still manages to not annoy Ulquiorra at all. She has a bad habit, however, that since she doesn’t have her stinger to protect her and doesn’t usually use her sword (a habit she picked up from Ulquiorra) she tends to bite chunks out of people that annoy her. She’s rather easy to get along with, except for when she’s around Gin or Nnoitra, but that’s usually when Ulquiorra is there to keep her in line. When in battle or training, she becomes deathly serious and highly focused, causing most weaker Arrancar to admire her skills in battle. To wrap it all up in one, Jazmin is has a balanced personality, being strong, yet fragile at the same time.
Powers & Abilities: Having trained long hours with Nel at first, then Ulquiorra, for years, Jazmin is quite skilled with both her sword, and her hand, despite her habit of biting or stabbing people with the stone attachment to her blade’s handle. Her hand-to-hand combat is what she mainly uses, enjoying the ability to destroy something with her bare hands a little too much. As stated earlier, Jazmin’s speed is great, her master of Sonido making her as fast as Ulquiorra, if not faster. Her maximum speed is unknown, but others have gotten the feeling that finding out will get them killed, so they have refrained from asking her to show them. Jazmin, in battle, manages to calm herself, but has an issue with her battle insight…she see’s many outcomes to the battle, but can’t usually decide an action to take. For this, Ulquiorra often degrades her for and hopes to train her out of her habit still.
Surprisingly, Jazmin’s cero is blasted from her mouth, and is rather small and seems to appear as a defective cero blast…however, how destructive power is nearly that of Espada level. The reason for this is because the energy that collects there compresses itself tightly and acts like a bomb, exploding upon contact or at will. The color of Jazmin’s Cero is bright orange, which some find odd but choose to ignore. As easy as Bala is to use for mostly every Arrancar, Jazmin’s is strangely unstable. No one can seem to figure out why, but she refrains from using it so no one around her gets hurt by the unstable power. Her regeneration ability is unstable as well, meaning one will never know just how fast she will be healing herself.
With Hierro, Jazmin’s skin is only known to be capable of ever being cut by the Espada ranked Arrancar, but the toughness of her skin is clearly increasing, though only known to Ulquiorra since he trains her in their free time. She isn’t really able to sense spiritual energy that she doesn’t know if she isn’t putting at least a little effort into it, but she can amazingly locate anyone within Las Noches.
Zanpakuto: Halcón de las Arañas.; Jazmin’s Zanpakuto is a strange light Maroonish color, black ribbons around the handle and sheath with a stone that matches the main color of the sheath and looks similar to the shape of a claw hanging from the end of a handle, an amber jewel resting within the handle. The use of the large shaped and polished stone is unknown, but many in Las Noches have been stabbed with it before, had their bodies go completely numb, and have become very ill for the span of months at a time. This has made it believed that the stone is poisoned in some way or another, and some believe it may be another form of the girl’s stinger.
Resurreccion: “ Paralyze, Halcón de las Arañas.”
Halcón de las Arañas releases with a strange scream-like noise, the energy blasting out like thousands of needles that glow so bright Jazmin’s form isn’t visible at all until the light dies down. In her released form, Despite being a Tarantula Wasp, Jazmin’s ‘armor’ is both black and white as she regains wings able to grow if she consumes her own cero or the energy of an enemy, Tarsal claws, and her stinger. If one is hit, stabbed or cut, with her stinger, there is an unbelievable amount of pain before an opponent’s body begins to become numb. If she eats a cero in order to grow her wings, Jazmin can fire a larger one using her wings, mouth, and stinger. The marks on her face become darker and change shape, centering directly beneath her eyes instead of slightly to the sides, closer to her ears, and her eyes become black. The remains of her hollow mask regains more pieces, actually having more of a form instead of leaving most guessing, and her hair grows longer.
History: In the beginning, Jazmin was a part of Nelliel Tu Oderschvank’s Fraccion for almost a year, only to have the agreement that the Third and Fourth Espada had go into action. Being so young and venerable since she was inexperienced and any other fighting that viciously stinging other hollows and tearing them to shreds, Nel took in the young Arrancar and a bond formed between the two like the bond a mother and a child had, Nelliel even allowing the girl to call her ‘Mama Nel’ after a short time. Jazmin was happy with this, though she didn’t understand why Nel made her spend time with Ulquiorra while she took off to follow Nnoitra after their daily training. Her short hours spent with Ulquiorra every day or so were silent at first, Jazmin being shy, and then slightly comfortable as she came to realize she was oddly relaxed around him and a strange feeling would dance around inside…as surprising as it was, Ulquiorra saw true potential within the young Arrancar that kept climbing up the ranks. Because of that, he agreed when Nel asked him if he would take Jazmin in as his own Fraccion should anything happen to her. Dondochakka and Pesche were informed of this, though they had to swear not to tell Jazmin in order to insure she wouldn’t become worried at all and would be able to live happily. However, when Nnoitra and Szayel teamed up together in order to take Nel out, and Nnoitra came after Dondochakka, Pesche, and Jazmin, Dondochakka and Pesche suspected something when they heard Nnoitra was looking for them, and were able to hide the sleeping Jazmin in Ulquiorra’s room before they were caught and had their masks completely ripped off.
Jazmin awoke not even an hour later, having jolted awake to find that Nel was no longer there, and that she was now Ulquiorra’s Fraccion. This had caused her to dive strait into months self reclusion, and though Ulquiorra didn’t understand why she did this, and thought it a weakness…he actually let her have her time to heal. She didn’t pay it any mind until she realized that, through the long hours she spent curled up as a ball on the floor of her own room, Ulquiorra came in to silently watch over her, leaving trays of food sometimes so she ate. Jazmin slowly came to realize that it was him doing this, and the thought of knowing that he, if only a little bit or for selfish reasons, wanted her to live gave her the strength she needed, though Jazmin never got over the fact Nel was gone. No one seemed to know or want to tell, but she always had a sneaking suspicion Nnoitra had something to do with it, and has always hated him for the possibility.
Her training with Nel helped her along well enough, but Jazmin came to find that training with Ulquiorra was a whole different story. It was kill or be killed, and Ulquiorra never made it easy. He didn’t baby her, he didn’t stop unless he absolutely was at the pint of killing her, and if he came to that, the next day was going to be even harsher for Jazmin. However, such a training routine gave her strength, bumped her up the ranks at a rapid pace until she hovered just below Espada rank, able to keep up with Ulquiorra in speed, block his attacks with her own two hands… prove that she was more than just trash that Ulquiorra got stuck with. Everyone was amazed at such a fast progress, and since Ulquiorra knew and got to her to progress how he wanted, he was pleased and enjoyed having someone even slightly worthy of being his Fraccion.
Since then, Jazmin and Ulquiorra have remained together as master and servant, a very strange, yet very close bond seeming to appear out of nowhere. She is very loyal to him, holding his orders higher than even Aizen’s as she carries out an order given without flaw. Neither of them really seem to understand why they feel as close as they do, often like really good friends, but it sooths both of their souls from day to day. On that factor, they interact like true friends, giving each other advice and tips when asked by the other, backing each other up. Though Ulquiorra still is the way he is, Jazmin doesn’t mind at all…in fact, the way their personalities are almost completely opposite, from cold to kind, helps them get along amazingly. However, explaining things for Ulquiorra to understand with his certain opinionative mind is very difficult, and often frustrates the both of them.
As a Human and Her Death: Though Jazmin remembers nothing of those she was close to in her life as a human, not even how her name originally was spoken or what nationality she was, only knowing what emotional information and lessons she learned from her life, she actually had what most people considered a normal and happy life. She had friends, a caring, loving, brilliant, yet slightly mentally unstable mother, and an annoying younger brother that drove her absolutely nuts. She was a bit crazy and violent for a teenage girl, the local daredevil that pulled all sorts of crazy stunts day from day, but the life that Jazmin led was what made her happy. Putting these facts together, one has to wonder what caused her early death and progression into a hollow…however, a single fact that was in her human life, now also in her Arrancar one as well, ties everything together in one big chain reaction: both Jazmin and Ulquiorra’s fates had been intertwined.
Though he was older than her by a few years, she didn’t care and loved him nonetheless. When he died, she was thrown into utter despair and she no longer had the will to live herself…it didn’t matter what anyone did, they couldn’t save her from herself. Unlike most forms of hollowfication, however, before Jazmin even died her soul had already begun to degrade at a rapid pace and each day her soul and Chain of Fate corroded more. The day she died was the day she became a hollow completely, but for some reason she went into a deep form of hibernation in the sands of Hueco Mundo for years until her hollow instincts kicked in completely and woke her into a soul-eating rampage.
Relationships: The person she has the closest relationship with is Ulquiorra, but she gets along with mostly everyone else willing to be near her. She mainly hangs out with the other Fraccion or other Espada, excluding Nnoitra. Jazmin has a problem with being around Gin at all, as his expression and the feeling he gives off unnerves her greatly though she manages to keep a calm exterior around him. Her relationship with Aizen is somewhat complex…she respects him, but other than that, she usually wants nothing to do with him.


Wow...long info is long XD
Anyways, I was asking myself the other day "What would I be like as an Arracar...?" and, lo and behold, there came this, so I managed to practice drawing with my paint program, and I created a new Bleach character that wasn't on the good side! How I got her name is I used my own and changed it to Spanish. It has a nice ring to it, I think.
I really like how this came out, and I think I'll keep it like this (unlike how I usually tend to revamp everything of mine XD). Hope you enjoyed reading all of her/my information >D

Edited the info a bit.
