Character Name; IlForte Grantz
Series/Fandom; Bleach

Age; Unknown, but he appears to be in his early 30s.
Gender; Male
Species; Arrancar
Sexuality; Bisexual

Appearance; At first glance, Il Forte would appear to be a normal looking human, save for the curious fragment of what appears to be a horned helmet perched on his head. He is of a rather average, if a touch thin, build, and stands about 6’. He has platinum blond hair that falls to his upper back. His face is long, but not unattractive, with light brown eyes and long eyelashes.
He wears the uniform of the arrancar, a long white jacket with black trim, a black sash around his waist that holds his sword and loose white pants. He usually leaves his jacket unzipped to about the end of his sternum, making visible a gaping, circular hole in his upper chest, about five inches in diameter.

Personality; Personality: While IlForte used to be human, all that changed once he was transformed into a Hollow. The unwilling transformation stripped him of most of his humanity. Any that remained has, for the most part, been forgotten. What has been left behind is an arrogant, cold and cruel. But past all that, and despite IlForte's claims to the contrary, a few echoes of who he used to be remain. This is seen in a couple of ways. He's devoted to the Espada Grimmjow. He serves Grimmjow for a number of reasons. This is in part an attraction to power and its benefits, the reason IlForte would give if asked, but also inexplicable human need to serve. It's possible he doesn't even recognize that second reason. He also retains some human-like behavior when it comes to his sibling. Despite his antagonistic behavior towards Szayel-Aporro, what IlForte deeply wants the most is any sort of respect from him. But these feelings are heavily masked by resentment and envy that they're completely subconscious.

Abilities/Strengths; Arrancar also have their own innate abilities as a race.
Pesquisa: A sonar of sorts. It has the ability to pick up levels of spiritual power in anything around the user.
Sonido: The ability to teleport very quickly over short distances. It can be used to cover ground quickly or dodge out of the way of an oncoming attack.
Hierro: A ‘steel skin’ that all Arrancar possess, though it is dependant on their strength. IlForte’s may not be the toughest, but it does provide defense against many mundane physical injuries.
Cero: A powerful destructive blast of spiritual energy.

Weaknesses; Though easily stronger then an average human or shinigami, IlForte is only a mid-level arrancar. His younger brother, Szayel-Aporro outranks him both in the arrancar heirarchy and in strengh, and this is not lost on IlForte. Saying that he resents the Szayel-Aporro for that is an extreme understatement.

Notable Possessions; Even though he is not one, Ilforte possesses a katana similar to that of a shinigami, a zanpakutou. It is named “Del Toro” (The Bull), and can be released by reciting “Skewer, Del Toro.” Once released, he reverts back to the appearance he had as a Hollow. For IlForte, this means that his upper half is covered in thick, heavy plate armor. The fragment of a helmet normally present on his head is now complete, encasing his face, head and neck. Its shape is not unlike the skull of a bull, hence where the name of his weapon comes from, with a huge pair of horns. IlForte’s human face can still be seen though the mask in parts, and his hair comes out the back of it, though much longer.
