Strider - Tercera Espada

NAME: Strider

ALIAS: General Stride

AGE: Strider would appear in his late twenties, with an actual age of three hundred twenty-five.

APPEARANCE:
Strider is a five foot nine, semi built man who would appear menacing at first glance. Strider has short, crimson hair which is slightly messy and unkempt. The right side of Strider's hollow mask has retained its placement on his face, whilst having his left side completely unexposed. Strider has a sleek face with a pointed chin, with dark brown eyes.


Strider wears the typical arrancar inverted shininggami robes, except his robes are parted at the center, going downwards. Strider generally always keeps his robe top open, slightly exposing the top of his chest. Where his chest is exposed, one can make out the image of a three near the  middle of his chest, near his hollow hole.


The hollow mask on the right side of Strider's face is fit exactly to the shape of his face. Above the right high area, there are two lines running down from the forehead to the bottom of Strider's face.. Along with this, there is also a singular line running from the side of his eye, to the side of his face.

PERSONALITY: Stider is a narcissistic person who feels that he is one of the most powerful being in the world. Because he has attained the power that very few will ever experience, he feels that he is entitled for those around him to worship him. Because of his entitlement, Strider barely makes any true relationships and bond with people who are around him, as either way he considers them as lesser beings.

Strider believes that battles are fought until the death, and his personality whilst in battle reflects that.When faced against an oponent, he will examine them at first glance and decide on how much force he should use against them. When in the midst of battle, Strider shows off more of a sadistic side of himself, which is a behavior not commonly expressed by him. By the time the battle is over, he will end them in the most brutal way possible.

ALLIANCE: Strider is aligned with all the hollows who will submit to him.

HISTORY: Strider was born in the early days of the settlers that had moved into the area that is known today as America. Strider was a strange kid throughout his life, avoiding most human interaction, and keeping away from other. Due to this alienation of himself, the others grew to know him as "The Loner". Other kids around the colony, and this had drove him to continuously alienate himself throughout life.

As Strider went into adulthood, he developed psychotic tendencies, which ultimately lead him to make bad decisions in his lifetime. By the time it came to the end of Strider's life, he had been found out to have committed murder six different cases of murder to those who had wronged him at certain times in his life. For his crimes, Strider was sent to be executed immediately.

Having regrets in not being more successful in life, it did not take long for Strider to become a hollow. For the next fifty years to come, Strider would get quickly accustomed to his new form, and a giant fan of the delicious tastes of the human soul. With the quick consumption of countless human and hollow souls alike, he quickly grew to evolve into a Gillian class hollow, however he was different from the groups of them.

Strider was among the very few gillian to have a distinct mass out of the mass. However, Strider had soon found that he had been trapped into a world that would prove to be one that would take all of his ability to handle. Strider found himself amidst of an ongoing war between several races, which sometimes made it very hard to find time to feast on human souls. However, because of Strider's sociopath mind, he was able to plan strategic routes whilst traveling from the hollow world, to the human world.

It didn't take long for Strider to find this technique useful as a way to feast and thus grow stronger. Strider used this technique countless times, and some were closer than other, but it was paying off as he evolved into a better form which would suit him better for the oncoming war. Strider was able to establish that there was a significant difference between him and the gillian in which he had been traveling with. Strider found that even going up against them, they were no match for him, and would easily fall to his power.

Having reached adjuchas level, Strider felt that he really had some influence on what happened in the world of the hollows. Due to the power level of Strider, he was able to kill what he wanted at will, but it still wasn't enough for him. Though he was gaining more power, he felt a constant hunger for souls. While he was annoyed with the constant hungering for souls.

It wasn't long after Striders evolution that he noticed that some shady characters were moving into the hollow world. Strider was very cautious as he had never seen a group such as this before in his time. Strider would observe them and stay out of their path, and feed from the souls of other hollows to keep him going. When it had been clear to him and the other adjuchas that these people were waging war in their home place, they banded together for survival.

After the group had been traveling together for quite some time, it was clearly outlined that Strider had a mind for thinking things through strategically, and they established that he would help lead them through. With their combined might, they were able to quickly and effectively feed off those waging war against them, or the other, lower level hollows that were in the area. While some of the group had appreciated that Strider was planning out their battles from them, some did not, and wanted him gone.

It was not long after this that the group was divided in two and a battle had begun between two adjuchas groups, and it was not one that was long fought. The two groups clashed back and fourth for a few hours, and in the midst of this all, many lives were lost. Strider was near death and was now outnumbered. Before the enemy was able to deal the finishing blow to Strider, a strong want to live on erupted inside him, as a new power surged through him. To survive, Strider's body evolved into a Vasto Lorde. With new found strength, and a will to fight on, he quickly ended the fight, as the others were no match for him.

Strider had took on a much more human formed and found himself much more agile. With this power, he started to attempt to retaliate strategically, however he soon found that he was no match for this force. Instead of continuing to fight them, he once again retreated to the sidelines to watch the fight from there. During Strider's observations, he noticed that there were those fighting with half a hollow mask. It was quickly observed that these people would have shiningami like powers, and a reiatsu level similar to his.

Strider continued watching idly as these people quickly ravaged and destroyed the world around him. However from being in the sidelines, he was able to learn fighting techniques and see ways that he could combat these people. The one thing Strider knew for sure was that to fight them, he would need to attain powers similar to theirs. However Strider found out that this was attainable by removing his hollow mask, and so he did. With a want to survive and become more powerful, he vigorously ripped off the left side of his mask, and became an arrancar.

Upon becoming an arrancar, Strider had found a whole new level of power. Strider quickly met up with those who are like him and learned their knowledge and ways. Once a council had been set up among the most powerful, things had begun to take slight order around the hollow world. Whilst staying with this particular group, he had demonstrated to many his strategic abilities and impressive fighting skills. Strider thought to himself that the only way to gain more power and authority at this point, was to make himself a member of the council. Even if that meant he would have to take it by force.

Strider challenged the current general of the forces, and as usual, the challenge was accepted. The two engaged in a battle of fury, which would shake the world around them. Both were well match, and as such both took heavy amount of damage. However Strider turned the game around with careful positioning of himself, and well thought out attacks. Eventually, the dust had settled and the previous general had laid limp on the floor, clearly dead. Then as the moment that happened, Strider had proved himself a worthy member of the group, and earned his spot as Trecera Espada, and the general of the hollow army.



DIFFICULTY: As Strider is Trecera Espada, he is automatically set on "Hard".
