Note

"Greetings," Rudbornn says in a calm, cordial manner, upon approaching Lyric, "it is my understanding that these belong to you; please accept their return."

Rudbornn snaps his fingers, with one of his Calaveras flashing into view shortly after. In that silent soldiers hands is a large section of white scales, glittering, beautiful, and pristine, matching those still attached to Lyric. The Calavera then bows its head, and offers the scales up to Lyric, with both they, and Rudbornn, quietly awaiting a response.

-> This is the second arrancar they have met whose face they cannot see, now. Lyric wonders if there is some purpose behind it: anonymity or security or perhaps they have none at all, unlike most of the Espada they have met. Regardless of the reason, even when they cannot see his face Lyric does not sense malice in the approach of the other ( that's no reason not to be cautious, they think Ulquiorra would say to them in his droning, flat tone. it would be undercut by the most subtle strain of a parent trying to keep a child from sticking a fork in a light socket. he's wary of others, not of what Lyric may get themselves into ), so they turn to him from where they stand in some facsimile of a zen garden on a flat stone. Winds have flattened out all the concentric circles that may have decorated stones and dry trees, but at least it was some moderate change of pace and scenery. There were only so many places they were allowed to go without being chaperoned, after all.

"... have we met?"

-> Lyric's voice, too, is cordial and calm. His gentle approach has roused no fear in them; their posture jerks and twitches slightly at the sudden appearance of another from nothing ( where did it come from? was it always there? was it apart of him? was it another arrancar? was he an Espada?) , and they hold their body stiff for a beat before their eyes shift from cattle skull to outstretched hands draped with a piece of clean fabric. Lyric's opalescent scales are contained within, their clean white color glittering with flecks of jeweled iridescence in a rainbow of colors, perhaps the most this desert has seen. Most are no bigger than Lyric's own thumb, but some were larger and jagged at the edges, where they came off their shoulders or jaw. Lyric has to wonder how or where the arrancar could have found these——the only place they could think they may have shed or lost some other than when escaping a Hollow ( or the 5th Espada, chasing them around just to watch them scramble ) is... ...

... It's better not to think of that man or his lab, anymore. They assume that is where he found these: somewhere in the abandoned wreckage.

"... they are. Thank you."

-> Lyric carefully takes the pile of scales and the little fabric beneath them into their own. hands and closes their palms around them gently. There was no reason to keep them, really, beyond some old witch's superstition about giving pieces of your body to another. They suppose they could keep them in their room, for now. Maybe they would be valuable to analyze in some way, for Wing Bind, or the 12th Division. ——Lyric turns their body and head towards Rudbornn more fully and gently inclines it & their torso forward in a polite partial bow. When they raise their head again they take in the proud horns of his skull and all the clean, defined lines that define the features down to the high collar of his uniform. They lift their head a little more to look up at him; a shimmer colors the vivid orange of their iris, wide eyes fascinated by the kindness and the new stranger before then. ( they think about a fairytale balanced on their knees in Ulquiorra's library: in a hazy dream garden, knowing he is asleep, the prince spots the cursed princess beneath a canopy of roses. and in a moment I am taken instantly. )

"Where did you find them?"

MUSE: RUDBORNN CHELUTE

OVERVIEW

NAME: Rudbornn Chelute ALIAS(S): N/A GENDER: Male HEIGHT: 5'7" (170 cm) EYE COLOR: Hazel HAIR COLOR: Light Blond ORIENTATION: Bisexual / Biromantic RESIDENCE: Hueco Mundo, Las Noches OCCUPATION: Guardian of Las Noches, Captain of the Exequias MBTI: – ENNEAGRAM: – ALIGNMENT: Lawful Neutral

PERSONALITY

Rudbornn is calm, collected, and rational most of the time, and can at times express a high degree of confidence on the surface, to a degree that may mark him as arrogant, especially during combat, but this “confidence” is more of an act than any real amount of ego, a front to cover his wealth of insecurities and deep seated self loathing. Rudbornn also tries to play himself off as cold, quiet, and calculating when dealing with enemies, but anyone who knows him well enough will know that this is an act (at least the cold and quiet bits– he is in fact quite calculating), and that the man is actually far more amiable in normal situations, and maybe even a tad strange.

While he was only truly loyal to Aizen in the past, these days Rudbornn is extremely loyal to his subordinates and allies alike, and on that note, he can be skillful team player when a situation calls for it, and has proven to be a capable leader since taking up the mantle of Las Noches’ Guardian.

There was a time where Rudbornn was also quite merciless as well, though these days he is not above sparing the lives of his foes, and actually prefers not to kill anyone if he can help it– though again, he may try to sound merciless in certain situations, all purely for intimidation and appearances sake.

Rudbornn believes in their own sense of justice as well, is keen on maintaining order, and is a bit idealistic, wanting to build Las Noches (and eventually Hueco Mundo itself) into a place where where all Arrancar can live in relative harmony.

STORY

Rudbornn was a Adjuchas-class Hollow before making the transformation into an Arrancar with Aizen’s help. Rudbornn first came to prominence in the Forest of Menos, where he was a tree-like Hollow of great power, though one that also consisted of great suffering– Rudbornn had no eyes, ears, or mouth, and could only blindly and haphazardly devour those that crossed their path. It was a pitiful life to say the least, but for one reason or the other, Aizen would one day approach him in the Forest of Menos, and with the Hogyoku, open his eyes, ears, and mouth, for the first time. This act alone on Aizen’s part was enough to change Rudbornn’s world, and make him more than grateful to the Shinigami, making his decision to join them and become an Arrancar in their army an easy one.

Rudbornn was considered as a candidate for Aizen’s second generation of Espada, though the quick advancements Aizen made with the Hogyoku would soon allow him to create even more powerful Arrancar, erasing these hopes for Rudbornn. Aizen could still see that Rudbornn was not without use, or power, however (still being considerably more powerful than most non-espada Arrancar in Hueco Mundo) so they would bestow upon Rudbornn two gifts; the first enhanced the power of Rudbornn’s ressurecion, and the second, was his appointment as Captain of the Exequias, the new, official, third branch of Hueco Mundo’s Military. Rudbornn was sore about being passed up for a position among the Espada, but he was grateful for his new powers, and his new appointment, and immediately set off to make Aizen proud.

During the main events of Aizen’s struggle against the Soul Society, Rudbornn would work closely with Szayelaporro Granz, the 8th Espada, who had promised to help Rudbornn grow his own powers, and eventually ascend to the ranks of the Espada himself, in exchange for his aid in their research and other matters. Rudbornn did not like many of the things his aid entailed, including having to cut down former allies and friends alike, but at that point, he would have done just about anything to become one of the Espada, and so he pushed on, doing the 8th Espada’s bidding, all for the hope, all for the glimmer of a possibility that he would enter their ranks .

Not all would remain stable within Aizen’s ranks, however. The war against the Soul Society would go badly and in turn, everything Aizen had built would fall apart. Most Arrancar who served Aizen would be slain or left for dead by the Shinigami, and others would be betrayed by their own allies, or Aizen himself– Rudbornn would be among both in a sense, deafeated and left for dead by both the Shinigami and the Espada, Yammy, but also conversely, he stood as someone who had turned on his allies as well, as shown with his actions against the Privaron Espada.

Rudbornn did not die, though. Suffer? Definitely, Rudbornn suffered quite a bit, and thinking over all of his choices up until that point where he was now laying in a pool of his own blood, alone and shattered, he felt he deserved this. Rudbornn had cast away his principles, had cast away his allies, and was now on the verge of casting away his life, all for a stupid number, all for a position that didn’t mean anything anymore. Rudbornn was disgusted with himself, and as he laid there, he actually prayed for death to wash over him and take him from this cursed life he was still tied to… but death would not come.

At the last second, where Rudbornn would have indeed perished from his wounds, he felt his body start to regenerate. Rudbornn had thought his ability of regeneration had been traded for the ability of his God-like Calveras, but it seemed this power had merely been lying dormant inside of him, waiting for the right time to emerge. Or maybe this was a sign from fate, a sign that he was not meant to perish here, and was being given a chance to atone for his myriad of wrongs, and a chance to do something better with his life– yes that had to be it.

Climbing to his feet, his body now mostly regenerated, he picked his cracked helmet up off the ground and wandered off into Las Noches, where he would discover that Aizen, the Espada, and their Shinigami allies, had been defeated, learning as much upon entering the now vacant Control Rooms that were once manned by Gin and Tousen.

Fixing his helmet atop his head once more, Rudbornn looked out into the now silent Las Noches, and already, began planning the next step of his new life. Rudbornn intended to rebuild this place, to make it a home for all Hollows and Arrancar across Hueco Mundo alike, but only time would tell how this endeavor would go…

ABILITIES, SKILLS

Master Swordsman: In terms of swordsmanship, while serving Aizen, Rudbornn was no slouch, and could cross blades with some of the best in Hueco Mundo, or at the very least defend himself against them. Due to the nature of his profession, being skilled with the blade was important, and it was a skill Rudbornn had no choice but to wield with great proficiency. Following Aizen’s defeat, however, Rudbornn has continued to hone his swordplay, and only becomes more skilled as time goes on. In the present day, Rudbornn is one of the most skilled swordsmen still walking the dunes of Hueco Mundo.

Perceptive Combatant: Rudbornn is very analytical when it comes to combat, and is able to discern much from studying his opponents movements and attacks.

Sonido Master: Speed and agility are some of Rudbornn’s strong suits, and this is reflected in his Sonido. While serving under Aizen, Rudbornn’s Sonido was advanced enough to give some Captain-Level opponents pause (namely Ichigo, while using their Bankai), and as the years went on, his Sonido only further improved. During the TYBW, Rudbornn would demonstrate himself as a master in Sonido, and in the years afterwards, he would truly harness the art's ultimate technique, Gemelos Sonído.

Enhanced Strength: While no juggernaut of physical might, Rudbornn possesses a great deal of strength, enough for him to effortlessly break through the ice created by one of the most powerful Ice Zanpakuto, Sode no Shirayuki.

Reiryoku/Reiatsu: Rudbornn was always a cut above most non-Espada ranked Arrancar in terms of Reiryoku, though while serving under Aizen, his Reiryoku was not quite on the level of an Espada’s, either. In the years following Aizen’s defeat, however, Rudbornn’s Reiryoku has grown considerably, and is presently (Post TYBW) comparable to that of some past Espada. Rudbornn’s Reiatsu is also a deep violet color when released.

High Speed Regeneration: An ability which allows Arrancar to heal most injuries very quickly, with the exception of the destruction of the head or vital organs.Rudbornn originally thought he had lost this ability upon being granted extra power by Aizen, but the ability was re-activated following Rudbornn’s nearly fatal attack at the hands of Yammy.

Hierro: Like most Arrancar, Rudbornn possesses this technique, being able to harden his skin to a consistency resembling iron as a defensive measure against attacks.

Zanpakutō

Árbol (髑髏樹 (アルボラ), Arubora; Spanish for “Tree”, Japanese for “Cranial Tree”;): In its sealed state it looks like a standard katana, albeit longer and thinner, and has a white hilt.

Resurrección: Its release command is “Grow” (生い上れ, oiagare). In his released state, the right side of Rudbornn’s body becomes wrapped in branches reaching down to his waist, where they split off into roots that flare out on either of Rudbornn’s sides. Four lightning bolt shaped branches grow out of the upper part of his right arm, with skulls similar to those worn by his subordinates hanging off of each one. His Zanpakutō also turns into a lightning bolt shaped stick or branch. He can grow six more of these branches (totaling ten) that spread to the other side of his body, while the rest of his upper body is wrapped up too.

Resurrección Special Ability(s):

Calaveras: From the skulls on his branches, Rudbornn can generate an unlimited amount of “Calaveras” (髑髏兵団 (カラベラス), Karaberasu; Spanish for “Skulls”, Japanese for “Weathered Skull Soldiers”), his subordinates. He refers to this ability as “godlike” and mentions that it was given to him by Aizen.

Roots of the Deep: A technique Rudbornn had developed while attempting to create soldiers underground where the cold couldn’t reach them, in response to the time Rukia Kuchiki froze and sealed his branches. Although the nature of his Resurreccion’s special ability hadn’t changed, the speed at which he could create soldiers increased astoundingly as new trees grew where the roots spread, expanding his reach. The extraordinary speed at which Rudbornn can manufacture his soldiers as a result of this technique has significantly increased Rudbornn’s abilities and the threat he poses to potential enemies.

Calaveras Wall: The Calaveras can band together to create a wall with their bodies in order to protect Rudbornn from attacks. The more Calaveras present, the stronger this barrier is.

Reishi Blast: In Rudbornn’s Soul Resurrección appearance, he can fire electric-like blasts of reishi from the tip of his lightning bolt shaped branch-sword. This blast will grow stronger depending on how long Rudbornn charges it before firing, though it’s power is generally a bit stronger than your typical Cero.

Reishi Wave: By gathering up the aforementioned electric like reishi for a few moments, Rudbornn can then unleash said reishi around himself in the form of a devastating wave attack that will harm nearby enemies.
