Personality:

Contemplating- Despite his apperance, Xerxes is a person who ultimately tends to contemplate on a lot of things. If he stumbles upon a problem, his first reaction is to give up and do something else for the time being, his second reaction is to get back to the problem and look at it from various perspectives. The same goes for things he hears other people say, especially in the middle of a discussion, trying to get what they mean, or to take it out of context on purpose. However, he may get carried away with it and start to talk to himself about things and won’t notice other people around him much. Xerxes acts upon intelligence and reasoning. He is a very complex person to the eye, an he is indeed one. He never could be a simple person, due to his history that shrouds his allies with mystery and wonder. Although he may act on intelligence and reasoning, he does occasionally make a foolish mistake and lets his anger and sorrow consume him, however this is only occasionally; and he has 'lost the will to cry'. He never breaks down before anyone, simply because he has not the ability. He has cried his share of tears in his past but for only one person. His sister. And believes it is now his time to stay strong, and prevent another person from going through and enduring what he endured. Although he might not cry and he may always obtain his cool when the sorrow and anger does consume him, he tries his boniest to be alone, so others don't see it.

Witty- Xerxes is a humourist. He likes to make a joke or laugh about them. He is as much of a prank-puller, and enjoys seeing pranks being pulled. When he takes other people’s words out of context, he often does so to add a humourous meaing to them. When he gives advice to other people, he also shows he has a way with words, giving his words a double meaning that at first doesn’t seem like much of a help, but on second look is really good advice. Downside of this is that Xerxes often also sees double meanings in things that others say, which may lead to laughable situations. His jokes though are usually rude, harsh, sexist and racist.

Lazy- Though a determined person, Xerxes is also lazy. As he himself tends to describe it, his nature forces him to be lazy, but the way he was brought up forces him to get off his butt and take action. He likes nothing more than to spend at least one morning every week in bed, sleeping, or pretending to be asleep, and to spend at least one hour every day just lying down, doing nothing, except for perhaps mere thinking about things, or staring at clouds or stars.

Romantic- Again, despite his apperance, Xerxes is a romantic person, this having been the cause behind his decision to learn something about making music, singing and poetry in the first place. He is a true gentleman when the time arises. A man of love. A hopeless romantic. A lady's love is a man's greatest gift that they can recieve. When they love someone or need you, Xerxes shall never run and instead of ignoring them, he is by their side no matter what the case or issues. He writes poems, and gives roses and chocolates. He is a true romantic of an old fashioned time. Although he acts slightly flirtatious around females that he deems to be of “roughly my age” (aka, adult women), especially if they respond positively to such actions and flirt back, he claims to have one major crush in his life, but he can’t really recall the woman’s name or face.

Man- Although a Shinigami, one whom is presumed by many as not humans, disgraces, and even vampires and monsters, Xerxes is human like the rest of the people who live in the town of Karakura Town, more so then any others. Picking up emotions and actions one would never have known from being a non-human. There he learned about school. Proper greetings. Music in which he never heard before. Jazz, Rock, Rap. Fashion. Being hip. He learned more then just battle and revenge. he learned to actually live life as if you were to die tomorrow. He is a big time music lover, always adventuring into new music, and always eager to find more types, Sunflowers are a symbol of peace and calmness to him, and they hold sentimental meaning for him. Sunflowers were beauty, and calm, and they always seemed to hold what he lacked in himself, or so he tells everyone around him. He is kind and extremely smart. Despite this being a simple, act. It is actually him. When in a relationship, or with true friends this is him in a sense.

Life- Xerxes is a very deep thinker and believes in philosophy. When he was younger Xerxes honestly loved reading the classics and remembering good quotes. Overall, he loved to read fascinating books about philosophy and such. Having this as a hobby made Laurent more toward the intelligent side of the scale despite his rough looks and stupid apperance. For that sake, Xerxes comes out a bit snooty and full of himself at first meetings with strangers and people he doesn't like that much. But sometimes, he asks these ponderous questions to people out of both curiosity and for herself. Even at first meetings sometimes! But overall, on first meetings, he acts a bit annoying and quite snooty. Once he gets comfortable around a person though, he'd start asking them complex questions that involve philosophies and their ideals.

Freedom and Self-Relience- Xerxes is well-off on his own independence and can be very creative with himself and what he can do. He can make up plans when given enough time, and be pretty careful about it. Also, when he wants out of something, Xerxes gives everything in his power to try and get out of it, unless he absolutely knows that he can't get out of it. So he's a very strong person and does a very good job in caring only for himself or anything that has to do with himself. But Xerxes loves his freedom.

Serious and Sadistic- Serious and attentive to the core. Xerxes is always aware of his surroundings and is ready for combat at any given moment. His combat prowess is incredible, which is most likely why he is feared by many regular people despite his race or skill. His serious personality often makes him come off as somebody who nobody could possibly get along with. However, despite his apparently uptight personality he can be a rather pleasant individual that is easy to get along with, one just has to get close enough to him. Hes not friendly at all in this state, to be honest and considers most people to just be meat shields and target practice. If not that then they're just obstacles. At the same time he works for anyone who can provide something to him thats insteresting, and useful. Rough and aggressive, he is not someone to mess with.

Acting- Xerxesacts upon intelligence and reasoning. He is a very complex person to the eye, an he is indeed one. He never could be a simple person, due to his history that shrouds his allies with mystery and wonder. Although he may act on intelligence and reasoning, he does occasionally make a foolish mistake and lets his anger and sorrow consume him, however this is only occasionally and I mean really rare. He is a man of great knowledge who likes to learn about everything. He likes to read, when not busy and even trains. He wants to be strong to help enforce justice and to provide safety to those he cares for and works with as comrades. But most of all, for personal power. He has great patience and his goals are for the benefit of others and the rules, and not for his own personal reasons.

History:

It's a Boy

[/color]

The night was young and drew on the day before. It seemed like an eternity for the sun to rise of the twenty-fifth. Everything seemed natural that day. The sun was bright, the clouds were scattered, the fresh dew lay on the grass outside. And the termpeture was a steady warmth. A birth was about to happen. The 13th that month. What a unlucky number right? Not for the weak-hearted people. But the family that rested within the small hut in the 12th district of Rukongai, would not fear a number. Their lifes were to crazy to be affected by a simple two-digit number. Why though? For this family which rested inside was never normal. Never truely human. They were spirits of Soul Society with unique powers they kept hidden from the Shinigami. Nikami and Ayame Nightray. Happily married for 3 years till this day. Now they had a child on the way. It was to be a boy or so said the finest doctors from the 1st district of Rukongai. 8:46 am came. And it was time. The pregnancy of Ayame Nightray commesnsed. It was exactly forty-two minutes. Pain and agony filled the room but finally, a new member of the family, and another person filled the room. It was 9:28 and Xerxes Nightraywas born to the world.

Childhood Years

[/color]

Everything went smootly after the pregnancy for the family. They were safe. hey were happy.The boy was healthy as could be and was a fine baby boy. Being born in rukongai was usually the worst thing. Mainly for those born in the deeper districts where the numbers were in the higher digits. where they are filled with crime, and pain and violence. Xerxes was lucky to be in a more richer part of the districts. Where medical attention was avalible and the parents stayed and never abandoned the children. So as such Xerxes grew up as an ordinary baby. Family and friends came over to see him. It all seemed so normal. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. And for a while nothing did. Years went by, 10 times for each year he should have aged. Most human adults would have loved for their babies to stay a baby for longer and in Soul Society you got an extra 10 years of apperance but not maturity. The years started to go by as the ability to soon walk and talk. That is what soon came to him with these years. He was able to comprehend small and minor things. And the world seemed so insignificant to him. So peaceful as a heaven should appear to any kid. Xerxes admired his parents greatly as he always looked up to them, always smiling, always following and coping them. It was like all children did. It was how they learn. The household seemed so big to one who was so small yet could understand and realize life. At first his parents were not worrited about their baby boy, but soon he was sick, the doctors had told the parents that it was hunger, that the boy was already showing signs of hunger. Small nibbles were all he needed like his parents. His parents worried though. Both parents had small amounts of reaitsu unlike some in the district but would their boy have more then they both did? Only time would really tell.

The Adoption

[/color]

Seventy Years passed as Xerxes appeared to be an average Seven year old and he still acted like one. To an extent. He was smart but was average when compared to everyone else his age. It was an average day when Xerxes's life would change forever though. Around noon as the sun lay high in the sky 5 men appeared wanting to dispose of this goody-to-shoes and rich snobs in the district. They boated about some man from the 12th district who had beaten them and killed their boss. THe name they spoke of was not known by the district villagers but the men continued to ravage the place. They were thugs from the 74th district. Many tried to stand up and make them leave but those who did were beaten and some killed. The shinigami then stepped in. A small group of shinigami, 4 total. It was swift as the shinigami rushed in. Withi the fightin g Xerxes was seperated from his parents, almost killed in the battle between thugs and Shinigami. In the aftermath, Xerxes was lost, no longer aware of where he was. His parents no where to be found. He was lost. He wandered around, the hunger building. Something had happened in the shinigami fight. The reaitsu from the black clothed death gods must have triggered his dormant powers. He felt as if he would die. Then it happened, a man stood before him in a small hut within a deep forest outside the districts where Xerxes had wandered. THe man invited him in and eventually adopted the boy. Feeding him and helping him survive. he knew the boy had reaitsu, for the man himself use to be a Shinigami.

Teenage Years

[/color]

He was taken in by the former shinigami as he lived and learned from the man. With each passing day Xerxes's power grew as his reaitsu was shaped and formed. Disciplined and trained well. FIghting. Hand to Hand and a Woden sword. He was rushed and sped through the forest as test of speed. He learned things he never knew about the history of the soul society. Told about the Quincy massacre. The shinigami even helped teach Xerxes later on how to form and shape his reaitsu which would come in hand when learning kidou in the academy. Yes the Shinigami urged the young boy to seek out the academy to further perfect his powers. Xerxes considered this alot and decided he would but not before he was done here. He spent the next Sixty years training in this forest until he learned everything from the unseated retired shinigami. He said the academy knew more and could help him more then he could now, but that he helped the boy make the academy a bit easier. Xerxes bowed with respect and vanished the next day without a word. Nothing of his existance there remained. As if he never lived there for the past sixty years. His next destination. THe Shinigami Academy.

The Acadamy

[/color]

District 12, with minor knowlage of the ways of Shinigami not many enrollee's know, and a good sturdy source of reaitsu. All this taken into consideration by the many academy teachers and staff is what placed Xerxes Nightray onto the list of current students. He was now inside the Shinōreijutsuin shinigami acadamy and on his way towards being a full fledged Shinigami. Within the acadamy Xerxes was an unusual one. Calm and mysterious and always smiling. not in a creepy way, yet he seemed to have no emotions behind his face. Despite the thoughts based on his personallity and apperance he was a key student, the ones the teachers raised an brow to. Looking like a care free guy he knew history, he passed the knowlage exams, as if he studied, maybe he did. When it came to kidou class, he had a large knack for the skill. Hitting the target board with good accuracy, not the best where it was always dead on in the center, his curved and such yet he was above average yet far from the best. Swordsmen ship was decent to him. Depending more of defense then offense. He was able to block and deflect blows aimed at him and redirect the attacks back at the opponent, using the force used by his opponent against them, and not using cuts more then blunt, making the back dull edge to hit the foe and making the forces applied to a slash to be forced back on the opponent. Next came the field exams after some times in the advanced classes. He had a good skill in sensing reaitsu and presence. Able to locate 5 souls in the real world, two more then the average three most people got. And against the Dummy Hollows, Xerxes was more of the defense as he deflected the blows aimed at his team and used kidou to distract the dummies as the others finished them off. Then the six years passed as they were finished with their educations.

Graduation

[/color]

Graduation arrived for Xerxes and his classmates, they were given their Shihakushō {Shinigami uniform} in exchange for their acadamy uniforms as they walked out of the buildings and assigned into their assigned divisions. Dor Xerxes he watched his friends go to the first, 2nd and 12th division while he was assigned to the 11th, due to his love of fighting. he abandoned kidou despite learning it in the academy almost alone with no one he knew. This was his squad now.

Shikai

[/color]

While in the new division Xerxes went on many missions throughout soul society and Karakura town as an unseated officer, and within these missions he worked hard to perform his duties. Each time he heard an echoing roar in the back of his mind. With each hollow that vanished a clasp of roaring thunder collided within his ears. Words came from nowhere as none of his comrades would speak up to claim the blame and source of the words. "My name is _____" there was no name, just silence. It drove Xerxes crazy. He tried and tried to uncover if it was some prank or his mind faltering into insanity. Then it happened one day in a fight against a Gillian also known as Menos Grande. Time seemed to freeze around him as he vanished into an abyss of darkness, only to appear back within a dense, green, moist forest of trees surrounded by mist from the moisture and humidity. The only building in sight was a small shrine, two statues of Buddah stand guard outside the small shrine. The scenery was beautiful. Nice and calm, the Sakura blossoms at full bloom, the green grass, the air nice, the sun always shines brightly. The shrine it's self was of pure japanese theme. The floor waxed as it shined. A priest stood upon the waxed floor. A linen bag at his side. His eyes closed. A middle Aged man in apperance. He spoke. "Can you hear me?" Xerxes just nodded, the smile still on his face despite being somewhere knewa nd the gillian that was wiping out his comrades vanished. "My name is Taiga" was all that was said before he seemed to vanish. The world around Xerxes crumbled away as the abyss of darkness returned. The nothing. Silence. Followed by screams of his comrades and the roar of the Menos. "STRIKE, TAIGA!" Xerxes said as his zanpaktou changed into a staff and with that, Xerxes pointed the staff at the menos, only to have a large blast of reaitsu fly out. THe menos was pushed back as it vanished from the area. He was the only one in the group of unseated officers around him to get Shikai. Others had it but not in the group here. They reported back. And the training began.

The will to get stronger

[/color]

There were more visits with Taiga in the world of Xerxes's own zanpaktou. They talked, and then left. Xerxes would train, trying to make Shikai easier to use. To be less tired while in the state, and unlocking new abilities. First he mastered his seemingly only move Reaitsu Burst. The effects were quite powerful and Xerxes seemed to think that was all for his power in shikai. So he focused on fighting and working on other key things. He practiced his hand to hand combat. Being rusty and unskilled in any situation was not good for Xerxes. He would go and read on subjects that intrested him, and spent alot of times devouring snacks. Then with more visits with Taiga, Xerxes tried once more, he released shikai and heard the name in the back of his head. He learned 3 others moves giving him 4 total which he worked forever to master. But he managed it. He mastered Shikai, and with his efforts started to climb the seated ladder.

Attempt at Bankai

[/color]

Xerxes is not one for cockiness, he hates cockiness. But this is a major reason why. Xerxes wanted power for many reasons. Mainly for the past he feels could have been better. Power as a way to change the mistakes he made and could make. Many years passed as he reached the age of One-hundred and Eighty-three, Twenty Years since his mastery at Shikai. He felt he was strong, he felt he could take on alot of things. ANd to try and show off, he attempted something. he had always heard about the zanpaktou's second stage. Bankai. Kami told him that he may not be ready for his true power. Xerxes was a fool. He did not listen to his zanpaktou as he went into a field and held his zanpaktou out and forced his reaitsu into his blade as he went into shikai and tried to go farther. He tried a few times, working hard and hard. THen one day the spirit of Taiga appeared. Anger filled his face. Disappointment in his tone as he roared. "fool"

Failure

[/color]

The spirit walked forward Xerxes watched closely, his usual smile faded as emotion other then care free and happiness turned to fear and distress. Backing away he saw the spirit started to fade, he knew he was not ready. Xerxes was far from achieving bankai. The spirit vanished and appeared before Xerxes who fell backwards. Taiga's hands reached forwards as he yanked from the left side of Xerxes face. Xerxes moved only to be burnedhis skin started to change from the poison. Large tatoos of his mistake. Taiga vanished with the repeated word of fool. Xerxes was a fool and he learned that. With this he went back and trained as he was soon promoted to Fukutaichou.

Vizard

[/color]
Another hundred years have passed as he furthered himself and continued his training with his zanpaktou's spirit. Over those dedicated time he was able to again materialize the spirit which put him through 3 sets of trials, with each one passed without fail. He thus learned bankai. And with that he became a taichou as the former one had died in battle.

Vizard

[/color]

Now a captqain of the 7th division, he was presented to be a part of an experiment, The original Vizard were creations of the Hôgyoku, and a project of the Soul Society. A group of five powerful Shinigami were recruited for an experiment meant to increase their powers. The end results were catastrophic. The barrier between Shinigami and Arrancar was lifted, causing the five to under go Hollowifiction. It was not an unexpected result, however. TThe barrier was reestablished as a curtain of sorts. They reverted back to their Shinigami selves. It did not work as fully planned, though. The five remained capable of tapping into the Hollow powers. Although a possible offense, Soul society would not banish them. Instead, they would utilize them as the main defenders of the Real World, in order to better focus on the defense of the Soul Society. Xerxes was one of them. A prodigy of the 11th and 7th now an outcast. He Decided to learn the kidou he had left out so long ago, and as he did he proved his power and strength as the Vizards and outcast came as he and his good friends made the Vizard organization under Kuro and he became a Council Member.

Name:
Taiga

Description:
-Sealed:
In it's sealed form, it is a simple weapon. Though alone it is much diffrent from the usual zanpaktou. Overall it is 5 feet in length. It's metal is a bright white in color for the steel blade.

-Shikai:
Appearance-
Within it's released and standard form Xerxes's zanpaktou, Taiga, Takes the form of two knuckle claw things. Both hold three very durible and extremely sharp claws each metal the same durability as any zanpaktou. They lay in wide and pretty thick metal making them extremely dangerous when fighting. Although many downfalls are said to be with this, like attacking within the gap between bladed and less defense, Xerxes worked against those and has perfected his shikai in both terms of abiltiies and weapon style.

Attacks-

• Tiger Slash: A pretty simple yet powerful technique, by burtsing his own reaitsu forth from the claws and making a large swipe across the air, his reaitsu is formed and forced out of the claws where they flow through the air with great force. Able to slice through most stone and steel yet can be cut by a shikai and bankai. Much like a bala, he can use this rapidly to force the opponent back or overwhelm the enemy to the point where they fall due to some getting through.
  
  
• Tiger's Roar: This causes a great explosion of reiatsu in a 360 degree radius for 5 yards. This is used mainly to combat groups of enemies, or a particularly fast opponent. Red reaitsu flows from the earth below in large streams of power. The reaitsu comes in small particles. The particles themselves if viewed under a microscope, you would see they are jagged and are at a size where you can breathe them in, and actually embed themselves in your lungs. This is similar to the effect Volcanic Ash has on the human body. But Thats the power given to the Shikai in Natural terms, the reiatsu based effect is that it slowly pumps reiatsu to the opponent once inside the body. And when the ash exits the body, it is released into the air in a gradual manner. The pumped Reaitsu slowly does internal damages and weakens the breathing and nerveous system. Slowing the reatction time by a mere second and causing mental damage as they try to focus on helaing their own body from the sudden gain of reaitsu. The downfall to this is that by using this against stronger opponents, the stronger they are, the more powerful their reaitsu is compared to Xerxes's thus the reaitsu pumping into their system is weakened and either takes longer to effect or is easily regulated within the next post or so.
  
  
• Tigers Intimidation: Using reiatsu, Xerxes is able to use this to a more mental stage. Though it is more of like a gas bomb, more than anything it's actually reaitsu . As the reaitsu comes from the claws and when the claws cut or stab into the opponent. The oppoenent if taken by surprise will injest it into the blood stream, The Reaitsu pumps into the opponents system making this more of a hallucinate, as it has the effect to see doubles of everything. This is quite usful for battle, It allows the fast strikes of a fist or a blade to take the opponent by surprise, or use shelter without cover being blown.
  
  
• Tiger's Bite: Moving his arms and hands to a way that the claws form what seem to be a weird mouth, Xerxes will launch forward and open his arms wide as the blades harden from reaitsu and activated by the stance. The claws are then brought up as He forces them together in which a large shockwave which takes the shape of a tiger's head appears this head is strong enough to do blunt damage upon the oppnent as it also bites, the bites do not penetrate the skin but cause massive bruising and force like a rock hitting the bone.
  

-Bankai: Hagane Kokoro no Taiga {Steel Heart of the Tiger}
Appearance-
When the release phrase was said, the blade will glow brightly. Like time takes it's toll on metal, the blade it's self will start to rust, grow flemsy, and then shatter into rustic shards that fall down till the hilt. THe hilt remains allowing Saiku to rebuild the blade to his own will and design. The hilt wrapping then vanishes as the guard and hilt themselves become a glistening silver alloy. The full blade looks in it's self much like a futuristic weapon.

Attacks-

• The first ability of Steel Heart is the basic form of its power as Xerxes can use his reiatsu as the forces points as he then alternates it with a special silver coding and soon releases it into the air where it starts to gather up substances from the ground into it’s being until it has the require amount of mass it needs to activate and then transforming itself into the selected object Xerxes wished for only in a silver coloring. The newly created object will have all the traits of the original object as for the only different it’s much stronger and durable than the original object and Xerxes can alter it with a snap of his hand to have it take forth a new form or shape. He can also break it down and have the combination of mass split up and form smaller things equal or less than the mass that he first used. He must first know what he is creating before he can summon it and it usually takes him two point five seconds if it’s a normal weapon or a small object however pending on how big it is it will require more time, mass and a little more reiatsu to create. Xerxes has a Telekinesis bond with anything metal like within a hundred yards that he had created. Therefore he can have it move around with his mind alone while if he uses his hands it doubles it’s strength and speed. It can be used for offensive and defensive measurements but he requires complete and total concentration in order to do so otherwise when he is shocked or distracted then the items will drop down on the ground and be lifeless. So far he can only control thirty items at the same time and have each of them strike differently. He can easily repair what he had created in a blink of an eye by using his own reiatsu to speed up the healing factor in their body as long as there’s a single shard of it left. He is also not limited to injecting metal based subjects into the object and once touching the skin have it simulate the same effect as the target metal such as mercury poison for an example though depending on the strength of Xerxes and his opponents will tell rather or not if they can negate it with their reiatsu and medical skills or not. when used
  
  
• The second ability of Steel hearts will cause Xerxes to break his weapon on purpose and then using those very shards to transform the blade into what looks to be a liquid metal whip with a handle on it. This weapon is different from the first ability as rather than creating weapons from nowhere, Xerxes can actually cause anything the whip touches to rust and shatter on contact or on living things it will cause a rotting affect on to them such as a tree suddenly withering away and the leaves turning into black from a single touch of this liquid whip. The liquid whip can expand, stretch and multiply to cover an area of 12 meters squared from all sides. The density, mass and volume of the liquid metal can be alter to be from as light as a feather to as heavy as several tons while it can differ from tiny to gigantic with a given enough time. This whip can be split into several more whips in order to grab around the target or deal multiple attacks as despite its appearance it’s razor sharp much like a masterwork sword. The whip can be manipulated much like weapons to take different shapes and forms on the liquid level and soiled. Such as making a massive wave of liquid metal around the victim then using the first ability in conjunction to make a steel box and trapping them inside. The liquid much like the first can be used for both offensive and defensive maneuvers and even multiply constantly much like nanobots. If it goes inside a living creature then slowly but surely it will starts to infect them and they can’t feel the selected body part moving as there’s a metallic coating around the selected body part and slowly it will spread to every part of their body and turning them into a metallic statue. One can break free from this metallic prison if they have the required amount of reiatsu and strength to do so in a short time limit before their oxygen is gone and with it their lives. Lasts 3 turns
  
  
• The third ability is more of a fully defensive ability rather than a combination for the two as it uses the shikai ability of Magnetism manipulation to create a magnetic bubble like shield around them that covers nearly forty yards from all sides in order to absorb energy based attacks of all Variety and soon send them back at his opponents with them doubled in strength and coated in a silver color. For when it makes contact with something not only will it explode with the same destructive force as the original attack but rather have thousands of knifes coming at the opponent in an attempt to stab them multiply in every part of their body at the same time. Though one can break though this barrage of knifes if they are fast enough to do so or have enough reiatsu to push the attack back or slice thought it with enough brute strength and precise. This ability is not limited to just energy based attacks but rather elemental and projectiles can also be repelled from his range and sent back at the opponent. He can use this bubble to levitate if not cause himself to fly at high speeds and survive in the vacuums of deep space or even affect his body to give him temporarily increase in strength, stamina and agility to superhuman level for the fact he is shrinking the bubble into his body and giving him a silver coating and thus allowing him to use the push and pull factor with anything metallic like just like gravity and with enough force he can control the weapon the opponent is using and have it attack them instead based on their will and his for some can break free or would be totally immune to this factor. As for the bubble, it can be broken though a strong enough energy attack or brute force pending on their level and his. 2 turns
  
  
• The fourth and final ability of Steel hearts is a powerful one but looks simple at first glance. Xerxes will drop his weapon straight into the ground and soon will cause the entire area around the target to shake a bit before stopping. Thus six straps of metallic rope will strap around each of the body parts such as the arms, the legs, the torso and the head as one would require a strong enough force of reaitsu to break free as brute force alone isn’t enough to break free however those with overwhelming brute strength can break free from this with that alone. As the rope wraps tighter around the opponent it is injecting them with a magnetic field similar to that of a magnet as they can see even their reiatsu is turning silver. This will cause all the metal like objects in the area to come forth towards them and attached to their body as it slowly gathers around them and thus makes a giant ball much like the game kadamari damachi. This ball of metal will have the opponent incase in it like a wonder ball with their body parts still strapped together until Xerxes makes another snap from his fingers and then cause the ball to slowly compress itself and crush the opponents that are inside until finally it’s nothing more than a small marble on the ground thus ending their lives. Much like the rope the ball can be broken with enough reiatsu pending on their strength and Xerxes as well as brute strength but requires much more than it did normally. This isn’t a move he can do often at this level of stage as the reiatsu requirements are quite high as he has only two to three shots of this to use before his sword goes into sealed state. Though he can use this many times if he use the alternate form of it which is to create a single bullet of metal and have it strike the target’s skin and soon they will see a silver bull’s eye ring around it and anything metallic will be attracted to the mark and trying to strike the marks on their body much like a bull’s eye. The only way to get rid of it is to have Xerxes release it by either of his will, too low of reiatsu or knocking him out. The maximum range of this attack is as long as they have the seal on their body and Xerxes is still alive. 5 turns
  

Mask Description:
The mask of Xerxes's is rather demonic compared to the others. The hollow mask is quite.... Unique. His hollow mask is a very eerie type of mask, the mask is very oddly shaped too. The jaw of the mask slightly comes past his jaw, in a rounded type of shape. It then curves upward and into a oval like shapet. Upon the bottom of the jaw are small creases. This includes the bottom and top tooth that are parallel to each other. On the jaw are lines of red and yellow, they make circles and other curves that lead up past the upper jaw and towards the eye sockets. Once they meet the eye sockets, the colors stop and the rest of the mask is shown. The eyes sockets are much like a rounded eye, large and observent. Oddly shaped, but yet they match the rest of the helmet. The total face of the mask looks like that of a deformed and evil flame. The total mask is rounded and the form of the mask is clearly seen, but creases and markings give it a tribal feeling, and a truely evil vibe. One horn extends upwards like a beatle.

Spirit & Inner Hollow Description:
Zanpaktou Spirit- The wind blows mighty, a demon stands in the rocky, mountain ranges of the inner world. His name called out long ago. Waiting for the man to hear it. "Hagane Kokoro" His whole being is illuminated with light. The demon was a spirit. Standing exactly six feet in height. His clothing tattered and ripped. A hakama skirt is ripped from it's seems, fluttering in the mountain winds. A purple obi sash tied tightly against the spirit's skinny physical body structure.The end is cut mighty by the intense winds. Tied against his body due to the obi sash was a Grey, farmers top. holes fill the sleeves, while large rips fill the shoulders. His face is masked by a white veil attached to his light brown Japanese sun hat. Wide brims provided excellent shade for the face in the high altitude mountains, where the sun's light bathes the face heavily. White glowing eye's pierce the white veil like a sword through paper. Narrow and mysterious. Mesmerizing. Calm, but violent like the wind is this spirit's overall personality. Wise and knowledgeable. Information it gives to it''s master and ally. The two whom worked together for many years.

Hollow- For apperance, the hollow lays as a mirror image of Xerxes but with white skin and same body tone and build as Xerxes. The tatoo's inflicted on Xerxes by the spirit Taiga before is not present on the hollow. The hollow wears a black hoodie instead of the red one of xerxes and yellow peircing eyes scan those who apose him. For Personallity he is actually quite like Xerxes. Bloodthirsty, Crazy, Reckless yet smart, and sadistic. THe two got along well which was new to the vizards as they both are similair. Though Xerxes can draw the lines of his own behavior unlike his hollow. And both want dominance. They are rivals to each other and look forward to the next fight.
