The Poison Flower[ready for review]

[wildshadow]

Name: Veneno Flor
Age: 550
Gender: Female
Personality:

Veneno is rather quiet for an Espada. She is strong, but does not flaunt it. In actuality, she prefers not to figt. She will kill if ordered, but even her weapon is very impersonal. She stays as far away from death as possible. This doesn't, however, mean that she is averse to torture. In fact, she rather enjoys it. Her all time favorite pastime is torture. In her lab there is even a small interrogation room set up in the style of mideval times.

Speaking of Veneno's lab, she is rather smart. She rather enjoys conducting experiments. She has her own lab in Hueco Mundo, where she manages all the research. She is very clever, but also very secretive. She doesn't keep a proper set of notes, hardly using SOPs(standard operating procedures) at all. As well as that, she keeps all her notes in code. No one alive knows this code, though if needed she'll translate passages.

For all this, Veneno has a (sort of) soft side. She really loves plants, though she is very particular to poisonus plants. Unfortunately, there aren't many plants, poisonus or otherwise, in Hueco Mundo. Because of this, she grows samples in her lab, creating varieties wit different toxins that can live without sunlight and without water.

Appearance:

Her hair is dark purple, her eyes are deep burgendy, with no whites. Her hollow hole is through the back of her throat, only visible from the back. Her mask appears to be made of cloth, instead of the normal rigid bone-like structure.

Arrancar Powers:

Noches Sombra Cero(nightshade zero): A cero in the shape of a nbightshade flower, and is slightly larger in diameter than a regular cero. It is generated from her hands, held together at the heel. It also slightly reduces her opponents' resistance to poison.

Heirro: The incredibly strong skin of the arrancar.

Garganta: A portal used to travel between worlds.

Sonido De Las Flores(sound of flowers): An arrancar's ability to move quickly for short distances. Veneno appears to dissolve into flower petals and dust. The sound her sinido makes is akin to the crunching of dead leaves.

Polvo De Alma(soul dust): Veneno's version of the pesquisa, a cloud of dust invisible to all but her spreads out from her body. When the dust reaches a being, a stream of a different color travels back to her. The color tells what type of being it is, as well as their strength. This dust is always out, it is only a matter of extending it further than a few feet.

Inmunidad Al Veneno(immunity to poison): Veneno is immune to all natural poisons, as well as most synthetic poisons. In addition, she can gain new gas powers through eating poisonus items. The only problem is that she must continue eating similar poisons to maintain the strength of the gases. Sometimes, before a battle, she will prepare weeks in advance, consuming all the poisons she thinks she will need.

De Gas De Sueño(gas of sleep): A cloud of gas is expelled from Veneno's mouth, fine enough to pass through her mask. When this gas is inhaled it sends an opponent to sleep. Of course, it does not work on a stronger opponent. The potency of the gas is reliant on how many plants Vaneno has eaten recently that cause drowsieness. When the gas has had its effect, it is drawn back into her body through her hollow hole.

Zanpakuto's name:

Tóxico(toxic)

Un-released Zanpakuto's Appearance:

Toxico is a long vine-like stock whip. The handle is made of wood, out of which the the vine falls from a stop. The vine tapers to hair thin in diameter, a full yard in length. Alone it would do nothing more than inflict serious pain, but the last few inches are covered with a poisonus sap-like liquid. When a wound is inflicted a small amount of the poison enters the bloodstream. This is not enough, however, to kill an opponent, no matter how long it stays in the bloodstream. It takes many more cuts to cause anmy real damage(about twenty). When enough of the poison is in the body, it causes organ failure, heart palpitations, and fluid to build up in the lungs. There is a large thorn on the other side of the handle. It is covered with a stronger poison, and inflicts more serious wounds.

Resurrección Release phrase::

"La flor se abre y libera su veneno" (the flower opens and releases its poison)

Resurrección Appearance::

Toxico grows thorns on the fall of the whip, all of which are covered with a slightly stronger version of the poison on the unreleased whip.

Veneno's mask grows into a gas mask. From the side protusions her gases are expelled, amplified. When she is done using them, the gases are sucked back into her body through the center part of the mask and her hollow hole. Only one gas can be used at once. Otherwise, not much changes.

Resurrección Abilities::

Gas De La Risa(laughing gas): A cloud of gas that is expelled from the two side protrusions of her mask. The gas causes any who breathe it in to begin laughing uncontrollably. This leads to a lack of oxygen, causing the opponent to pass out.

Gas De Cloro(chlorine gas): A cloud of glas that is expelled from the two side protrusions of her mask. It causes anyone who breathes it in to produce a lot of mucus. Their eyes water, their nose runs, and their lungs fill with fluids. It causes death if untreated within a few minutes.

De Gas De Sueño Eterno(gas of eternal sleep): A stronger version of De Gas De Sueño, this sends an opponent to sleep. Permanently. The opponent must be in constant contact with the gas for ten minutes, or minimal contact for fifteen minutes.

Gases Lacrimógenos(tear gas): A gas that temporarily blinds an opponent. It causes extreme irritation in the eyes, causing them to become red and inflamed, as well as producing a massive amount of tears. It may also cause the eyes to bleed.

Alucinación(hallucination): Causes an opponent to hallucinate. The longer the exposure, the worse the hallucination.

Contracciones Miembros(twitching limbs): This gas causes an opponent to first become numb, then their limbs begin to twitch. It starts with the small motor muscles, then the large motor muscles. It effectively impedes fighting.

Note: all the gases depend on exposure for their strength. The less exposure time, the less effective the gas and the longer it takes to cause an effect. In the case of De Gas De Sueño Eterno, without proper exposure, it will only put the opponent to sleep. All have their antidotes, but they must forst be found(Veneno won't tell anyone). They will eventually wear off. Only one gas can be used at a time, when the desired effect is reached, the gas is drawn back into the body through the mouth part of the mask and her hollow hole.

History/Background:

Veneno wasn't always called Veneno. When alive she was named Toxicity. Toxicity was a beautiful girl, blond hair and blue eyes. Hitler's ideal. She lived in europe, around England. Toxicity was a bright child, very smart. Being a farmer's daughter, she loved animals and plants. Mostly thjough she loved plants. When she was very young she thought tht any plant growing in the feilds was edible. She ate a whole salad of foxglove and nightshade, and got very sick. In truth it was a miracle that she survived. Her parents had found her soon after she collapsed and got her to vomit the toxic material. She survived, but was very weak forever after.

Because Toxicity was so weak, she was never able to work on her family's farm. They fell on hard times, and her parents were forced to sell her to get by. She was sold to a prostitution house in Spain, where she got the name Veneno. She was renamed this because of her poison attitude. The service was only lucky that all of her customers were partial to feisty girls. Those who didn't never came back.

Veneno eventually saved up enough money to leave the prostitution gig. She left that chapter of her life behind her forever. Veneno fell in love and married a doctor. Fortunately he had never set foot within a whorehouse, so he had no idea about her sketchy past. Her husband also called her Veneno, though for different reasons. Outside her birth family, he was the only person who knew about the poison incident. She also very much liked the appearance of poisonus flowers, and decorated the house with them. Because of this he would affectionately call her his little veneno flor.

Veneno lived a happy life with her husband, and actually started practicing with him. She began studying natural medicines, and went along with her man to administer the drugs. She also held a little apothecary out of their house. But Veneno couldn't help her fascination with poison. She always kept some purified poisons in a little drawer in her desk. Unfortunately, she also kept medicine there as well.

Later in life Veneno started getting sick. She had always been weak from the poisoning, and age had stripped her immune system of its effectiveness. Whenever sickness came around she would catch it, and she started keeping medicine in her desk at home. One time she reached for something to ease her pain, but her mind was clouded with pain. She grabbed a vile of purified poison and downed the entire thing. She was dead within seconds.

Veneno became attatched to her husband as a spirit. She followed him around for five years, until he remarried. This was the event that caused Veneno to turn into a hollow. She actually ate his soul on his wedding day, and afterwards ate all the wedding guests, including the minister and altar boys. After this she went and ate the souls of her family. Once all her loved ones were dead, Veneno narrowed her selection to soothsayers and eitches, in layman's terms people with strong spiritual pressure. Oddly enough, she also ate poisonus plants. Even as a hollow she was able to produce a cloud of poison, which was very helpful when hunting shinigami. Eventually she ate mostly shinigami, knocking them out first. When Veneno became a Menos she didn't much know what was going on. Her personality was the one to emerge as a Vasto Lorde(naturally created arrancar).
