Carrla's Skills

Skills:

GREAT SPIRITUAL POWER: Worthy of the title of Octava Espada, having retained her individuality and devoured to climb the ranks of the hollow race for well over a century, those who step near Carrla will experience the vastitude of her spiritual power. Should she release her power in its entirety, those unfortunate enough to bear spiritual power less than great-level will feel an intense debilitating and ultimately unnerving gravity. This great deal of power is enough to for the atmosphere to soak up, dyeing it the same shade as her reiatsu - red.

PRACTICIONER SWORDSMAN: Carrla has a strong preference to refraining from using a weapon, and instead using her bare hands to combat foes, but has insisted on disciplining herself to a small degree to refine her skill with a sword to be able to hold her own if it the situation mandated the use of it; she made that choice after having liberated herself of her mask. She has mastered the basics of swordplay.

MASTER HAND-TO-HAND COMBATANT: Her primary method of combat is simply using her bare hands to combat opponents. When it comes to her usage of this, she is a brutish brawler, preferring to perfect basic skills such as precise punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knees, etc to assault an enemy. Through this she has become good at keeping even the most esteemed opponents at her skill level at bay with minimal exertion.

ENHANCED STRENGTH: Having always specialized purely in brawn and defense, enhanced strength easily compliments her usually strictly hand-to-hand fighting style. She has enough strength to throw around any average sized person as though they were a baseball, and send even the most fortified of targets of her own strength flying. The monstrous impacts possess enough force to demolish buildings.

PRACTICIONER AGILITY: If she were to have to rely on her agility in combat, there would be notable flaws, but she would at least be able to make use of it to hold her own. She has the basics mastered, and is efficient in the use of sonido as with the majority of Espada, but is incapable of employing any tricks or techniques as others may be able to. Her defensive focus has made her fairly negligent when it comes to refining her agility.

MASTERED SPIRITUAL CONTROL: Carrla has a great deal of control over her spiritual power. Out of a desire to put cero and associated techniques to good use, she has vigorously worked over her extensive existence to hone her control over her spiritual power. Her mastery in spiritual control has awarded her with the ability to conceal her spiritual power with relative ease. She only does so when necessary, for she rather enjoys the feeling it typically instills.

EXPERT PERCEPTION: While Carrla enjoys an impressive amount of perception expertise, she's still a range away from regular practitioners of the art. Her expert tier of perception does allow her to sense reiatsu well and then some, and has a knack for deducing the mechanics of abilities of reasonable levels of intricacy. Most importantly, she can use Pesquisa to detect targets over considerable distances, but still a large ways away from a master.

Techniques:

BALA: A technique that, while it doesn't even nearly match the power of a cero, moves at twenty times the speed of one. Carrla finds use in this when dealing with weaker prey, or perhaps as a part of some kind of unique tactic, but generally her using bala is an uncommon thing.

CERO: Carrla's cero can prove devastating, even to those of her strength, and especially to those who are inferior to her in power; the latter would easily sustain severe injuries. She generally uses her cero by pointing with a chosen finger and firing it, but can alternate it to simply firing it from her palm if she so desires. The power, of course, increases depending on how close she is to a given target.

GRAN REY CERO: As an Espada, Carrla can use a more powerful variant of the cero ability. To do this she cuts her hand, and mixes her blood with the cero as a method of employing the devastating technique. As her reiatsu is red, and ceros are typically red to begin with, the only thing distinguishing it from a regular cero is its chaotic and massive form, which she fires it from her palm. This massive, crimson rotating ball of unbridled destruction is backed with enough explosive power and speed to potentially cause damage to the area itself. Even those of her own power may not survive a direct hit from the ability.

DESCORRER: A technique in which Carrla opens up a Garganta, which literally tears a hole in dimensional fabric, eliciting the creation of a tunnel of whirling energy. Like others, she employs this to move to and from Hueco Mundo.

HIERRO: As she is an Arrancar, Carrla's skin operates like armor. Her spiritual power is naturally condensed into her skin, creating a "steel skin" that can sustain blows from even Zanpakuto without trouble. Carrla, courtesy of her primarily defensive focus and the sheer amount of times she's relied on her hierro, has developed it to be one of the most fortified. Those of greater power wouldn't have much difficulty getting through it, but those equal to her, or inferior, would have great difficulty in getting through her hierro, even being able to sustain minimal damage from their stronger abilities.

Resurrección:

ZANPAKUOU NAME: Ciervo Volante (Ciervo Volante; Spanish language name for " Lucanus cervus," or in English, "Stag Beetle,")
ZANPAKUTOU FORM: Takes the form of an average katana. The blade length is roughly twenty three inches, and the edge has a slight ripple pattern. The guard is gold, and the hilt, wrapped in thin red cloth, is predominantly grey.
RELEASE PHRASE: "Crush, Ciervo Volante."
RESURRECCION FORM: Carrla holds her zanpakuto in her grasp, and the moment of which she says the release phrase, the transformation promptly begins. Immediately, an expulsion of whirling red energy is jettisoned in every direction, making for a destructive release. In the aftermath, once the debris clears, her new fiendish and massive form is revealed. Aside from the bipedal, humanoid stature, not a scrap of humanity remains in the towering creature.

It is roughly seven foot, five inches in height, and weighs six hundred eighty pounds. It resembles a humanoid stag beetle, complete with a sturdy exoskeleton, a distinctive horn atop its head, and a moveable mandible at its jaws, which resemble hook-like blades. Carrla's muscular structure has become somewhere around four or five times its original size, all of which has blackened and is concealed behind her bone-like hide of an exoskeleton, which of course serves as a thick layer of armor. At her hands she possesses claws, each like daggers, and feet that are entirely inhumane and great at crushing things beneath them. Finally, a pair of bluish, translucent wings adorn its back. Its color scheme most favors white, but bears tints of red. Her eyes glow a bold red.

ABILITIES:

ENHANCED HIERRO: While in this form, Carrla's already impressive hierro has become even more tenacious and resilient. It also extends to the heavy layer of armor that is her exoskeleton. This form essentially takes her specialty, which is her defensive capabilities, and improves on them greatly. When it comes to others of great spiritual power, even by means of bankai inflicting significant damage to her proves difficult.

HIGH-SPEED REGENERATION: Another capability of her released form, Carrla is able to quickly regenerate injuries of superficial to moderate severity. However, she is incapable of regenerating any severe damage, such as organ damage or deeper, more grievous inflictions such as limb loss. She primarily uses this ability to regenerate portions of her exoskeleton that may become damaged, but regardless of the usage, the ability can be exerting.

ENHANCED STRENGTH: While in her released form, Carrla's already frightening amount of strength is bolstered greatly, essentially doubling it. This allows her to, by means of strength, brawn, and ultimately close-quarters, overwhelm others of great spiritual power with relative ease.
