Personality:
The old Jericho

Jericho was a very combat oriented individual preferring fighting to talking in most cases unless talking is completely necessary. Most of the time when he was talking to someone they were usually someone he respected. Jericho respected those who were stronger than him no matter what the race. The ones who had earned the largest amount of his admiration were the espada. They had earned it so much that he hoped to one day become one of them himself. He prefered the company of other arrancar stronger than himself seeing them as ones that deserved great respect.

Jericho had an overly zealous look at weakness. He despised it with an extreme hatred because at one time he had thought of himself as weak and he would personally go out of his way to crush it. Since this was true he tended to ignore those who were weaker believing that they have little use in the world. The way he underestimated weakness may be the reason for his downfall though that day never came it had almost once and he would not look down on them again.

His best friend was his zanpakuto Diablo. Though he considered Diablo his best friend in some cases he saw him as a nuisance, talking to him in the middle of a fight trying to give him pointers on how he could win against his opponent. As Jericho prefers to fight on his own. Now this isn't to say that he can't fight with a team its just he prefers to prove himself not only to those stronger than him but himself also. His friendship with Diablo would be strained when he met an odd shinigami named Daigoro Ito.(I got his approval) Who actually defeated him in combat and let him go free. Jericho swore to the shinigami that if he ever needed his helped he would be there to offer it. What he didn't expect was the shinigami offered the same thing. Little did Jericho this shinigami would become his eventual best friend.

While in combat Jericho preferred the up front and brutally violent approach. His signature starting move was him sonidoing behind his opponent and letting a cero fly. He wouldn't leave the opponent with a break unless it was to mock them or to stroke his own ego. The only thing that Jericho liked even close to fighting was his metal music and he can used to be found in his room playing along with it when there was no fighting to do.

Jericho now

These days Jericho has a totally different outlook on life. He is more docile and accepting of peoples faults and weakness. He still likes combat but it no longer consumes his life instead he has taken up many other activities. Such as blacksmithing and even reading the occasional book. He can often be found looking through the remains of old libraries and buildings looking for possible books in the wreckage. Other places he can be found are in areas where there is a view, in his earlier days he could have cared less for places like that though as he grew older his tastes matured allowing him to look upon these areas in aw.

He does however still have his more ass hole side to him, it just takes a little more to bring it out. He does let the occasional sarcastic remark escape his throat but this is more because he is still learning to control this part of himself. He may be older and wiser but that doesn't mean he has fully matured eh? He does show a little concern for those who are like what he once was. He will often try and give them a nudge in the right direction but it is up to them if they wish to take his advice or not. Sadly you can't save everyone.

He now no longer ties himself with the espada...for now. Though he does have a little memento to remember them bye, a huge and rather nasty scar that still hasn't healed up even after 200 years. He has gained a rather more authority in his voice after being an espada though he finds he doesn't need to do it much now a days.

GENETIC LOOKS

Appearance:
Jericho is a very tall individual man standing at six feet tall. He weighs about 200 pounds with a slim but very muscular build. His hair is white in color. It is medium length just long enough to reach the middle of the back of his neck. His eyes are red colored and give him the appearance of ferociousness along with the whites of his eyes being black bringing out the red even more. His skin is fairly tan but not to the point were a little more sun might hurt him. He retains a scar across his left eye from a battle that happen early in his life. Other than the scar his body is fully intact aside from his hollow hole which is located in his chest and his mask fragment which covers his left eye socket aside from were his eye is. He has a giant scar across his back from when he left the espada, they weren't too keen on letting an asset fall into the wrong hands. Thankfully he lived but just barely.

He wears the standard arrancar uniform with a few changes to it. His white jacket has a black collar which he has turned up like an old television biker. He also wears the black sash, white hamaka, and the and the black and white boots that bear an opposing similarity to a Shinigami's sandals. He wears his seven foot long claymore like zanpakuto across his back in a downward fashion so that it goes along the length of his back. Do to its size the hilt actually resides above his head so that it doesn't drag along the ground.

Bone Appearance:
Covers his left eye socket except for were his eye is.

Reitsu Colour:
Black

ZANPAKUTÔ

Sealed Zanpakutô:
It's appearance is that of a a black claymore 7ft long with the name Diablo written in red on the blade and carried on his back with a red ruby in the shape of a skull inserted into the hilt. The hilt itself is in the form of the rib cage and arms.

His zanpakuto used to be able to speak with him through there connection in his mind. His zanpakuto would usually gives him pointers in battle and sometimes randomly talk about the situation at hand. The zanpakuto by Jericho's old beliefs was his urge to become stronger and whenever he released Jericho would always hears a voice say "Power, need more power."

The relationship between the two was that of a contract agreement. Jericho would strive to become stronger for his zanpakuto's urge to become stronger as well. But they had a falling out and Diablo's voice has been silent for centuries now.

Racial Abilities:
Presa Del Diablo - Devil's Barrage

Description of Attack - He grabs his opponent a proceeds to beat on them first a punch to the stomach followed by a kick to the bottom of the chin causing his opponent to sky rocket then he slashes them with his zanpakuto while using reistu to light them with what looks like a black flame.
Type - Offensive
Range - short
Limitation - This is a fairly weak ability really just meant to get a lot of shots in even if not meant to do much harm. Also the numerous attacks give the opponent numerous chances to counter attack. It does about moderate damage to a opponent who is a tier beneath him. It does a little bit to those who are the same tier as him and would probably do minimal damage if any to those a tier higher than himself.

Mirada Del Diablo - Devil's Gaze

Description of Attack - Using his fire like eyes he is able to see into others Reistu in an attempt to see what they are going to do. In essence he sees his opponents reistu and tries to act accordingly though not always succeeding.
Type - activate
Range - Self
Limitation - Now this power only allows him to attempt to guess what there going to do so it starts out at about a 1 in 10 chance of actually working to his benefit at around 10 feet. The accuracy lowers the farther the opponent is away. So every 10 feet outside the original 10 feet it would be cut by have at about a 1 in 20 chance then moving on to 1 in 40 chance of succeeding and so on. This ability can also not be permanently on and has a run time of 10 seconds. This ability takes about 3% of his reistu each time it is used.

Gran Rey Cero

Description of Attack - Gran Rey Cero is performed when an Arrancar draws blood from the Cero firing appendage with their Zanpakutō and mixing their blood with their original Cero. The result is a Cero with a much greater attack power, size, speed, and force, as well as a change of color. This Cero is also many times more powerful than a normal Cero, and is capable of disturbing the fabric of space. When fired, it spins like a razor upon release and compress and decompress, due to the sheer speed and raw power. Unlike most Ceros that mainly take the shape of a sphere created by user and released in a huge blast wave, the Gran Rey Cero, when fired, keeps its sphere form.

Jericho learned this ability during his time as the 7th espada and thus still retains the power and the information on how to use it. He uses it by cutting the palm of his right hand and mixing his blood with his cero that way. The color of his Gran Rey Cero is a more Royal blue color. Dark but not quite in the range to were it would be black.

RESSERECCION

Resereccion Name:
Diablo - Devil

Resereccion Release Phrase:
Matar - Slaughter

Release Actions:
Taking his zanpakuto he says slaughter then shoves it all the way through his chest causing what seems like blood to spray out behind him in the form of a cross. He then takes his hands off his zanpakuyto and they are spread all the way out to the sides and he is seemingly nailed to the cross. The cross begins to turn all the way until it is upside down. He then opens his eyes wide and says Diablo which sets the cross and him a blaze in a black fire. After it clears he is up right again in his Ressureccion form.

Resereccion Appearance:
His Resurreccion appearance is that of a black Devil with wings and horns. He is about 10ft tall in this form slim but muscle built his black horns curve upward from his forhead and his wings are feathered but black. He gains what looks like vampire fangs. His outfit turns black. His ruby that was on his zanpakuto appears on his forehead. Finally his skin turns a sickly shad of white. His hollow piece grows to connect to the other eye socket and has turned black.

Resereccion Abilities:
Hoja De Diablo - Devil's Blade

Description of Attack - Jericho concentrates his reiastu into his hand much like he would with a cero but instead he concentrates to the point where it becomes solid. The finished product is a sword that looks a lot like his zanpakuto before his release but far less detailed and seems more like a big black black. The blade seems to dim the light in the room and it seems like it is almost sucking it out of the air.
Type - Summon/Melee
Range - Self/Short
Limitation - He can only summon one of these at a time and it is quite possible to sever the blade, it is after more or less for temporary use and is an alternative to his other attacks. The creation of the blade actually consumes 5% of his reiastu.

The attacks below are a 1-2-3 combo in which they each take 2 sec to start and after the combo he uses up so much reistu that he may revert to his unreleased form.

Bombardeo Fuego Negro - Black Fire Bombardment

Description of Attack - Using his wings he launches himself up into the air and unleashes his reistu from them in what looks like his feathers shooting out in bombardments of 6 black fire balls causing even the land to be lit with black flames in 6 different areas around a 50 sq yard area. This attack can be used 3 times before he can move on to Black fire geysers. Contrary to popular belief these are not real fire but concentrated reistu that has many of the properties and appearance of fire. The areas where the fires hit will not go out tell Jericho is unable to fight, the fight is over, he dies, or he wills them to.
Type - Offensive
Range - Area (50 Square yards)
Limitation - Each one of the shots cost about 6% of his reistu. Right after shooting this attack three times he has to move on to black fire geysers. This attack is not auto targeting and it may most likely complete miss the opponent as it focuses on the entire 50 square yard area with 18 shots in random areas which the opponent might not be in at all.

Geyser Fuego Negro - Black Fire Geysers

Description of Attack - After using Black fire bombardment he is able to use the black fires it causes and make them erupt into 50 ft geysers of black fire burning anything in their upward path. Contrary to popular belief these are not real fire but concentrated reistu that has many of the properties and appearance of fire.
Type - Offensive
Range - Area (50 ft high and 10 sq ft wide for each point were black fire bombardment landed)
Limitation - These geysers fire straight up so are pretty easily dodged if the person knows the attack or pays close enough attention to it.

Tornado Fuego Negro - Black Fire Tornado

Description of Attack - The final attack of his combination. After using Black fire geyser he is able to make the many geysers attempt to converge on his opponent wrapping them up into a tornado of Black fire that sometimes causes severe 3rd degree burns to form on there bodies.
Type - Offensive
Range - N/A
Limitation - After the use of his last attack he reverts back to his original unreleased self. This ability basically finishes off 65% of his reiastu at the time. If he does the attacks right off the bat at about this point he would only have 25% of his reistu leaving him pretty much drained, of course this is if he went into his resurreccion right off the bat and as that would not be normally the case he would probably be left with only 15% of his reiastu left.

PAST

History:
(Life, death, and and progression to the Arrancar state .)

RP Sample:
(This is from another site and is a more early post for Jericho about 400 years before now)

It was a beautiful sunny day in the realm of Las Noches. The land, the existent surf, unless you call more land surf, and the non tropical dead trees. Boy who wouldn't want to live there? There sat a man on the husk of what probably used to be a hollow and around them laid more of the bodies as some began to disintegrate. The man was an arrancar named Jericho Cross. His mid length white hair blew around wildly as a breeze blew past. He had a bored look in his eye and seemed almost comatose by boredom. But then a familiar voice to seem to arise as if from no were.

"Why you just sitting here kid we need to keep getting stronger and we can't do th at if you just sit here," said the voice almost metallic with a hint of irritation.

"Screw off these hollows are nothing but piss stains in the desert that will soon dry up into oblivion. THEY ARE WEAK," Jericho screamed firing a cero blast at a poor dead unsuspecting tree. He began continuously slamming around what was left of the bodies on the ground pissed there was nothing better to fight around here.

"You know we could head to the human world in search of larger and more powerful targets," the voice suggested. This made Jericho pause for a second and think. A gigantic grin spread across his face which looked pretty intimidating combined with his fiery red eyes and black eye whites.

"Thats right. We could even run into one of those shinigami, one of them has to be strong enough. Oh Diablo what would i ever do with out you," he said pulling out his zanpakuto and looking at it as if he was speaking to it. The black claymore gleamed in the bright sunlight. Then Jericho made a garganta making his way to the human world literally. He stepped in and as it was about to fully close the voice spoke up again.

"Probably lose your mind kid. Probably lose your mind," Diablo said his voice seeming to drift off as the garganta faded.
